Tech: YouTube Video Editor and Photo slideshow About To Shutdown

In a bid to focus on building new tools and improve on existing features, YouTube is letting off its Video Editor and Photo slideshow feature on 20 September this year.


A YouTube representative in Google’s product forums announced that it has observed limited usage of these two features, which is why they have decided on shutting them down. The representative informed users that they would have two months to finalize any video projects, before turning off the feature completely.

For the features that will no longer be available, the team suggests that users take help from third party editing software.

However, YouTube has also said that videos which have been published using the Video Editor would not be affected.

The video streaming and creation network will retain its Enhancement feature, where it allows basic editing features like trimming a video, adding filters or end screens. Tools like Subtitles and Sound effects will be retained as well. Even Quick fixes that essentially adds effects like contrasts, slow motion and more will remain as they were.

Last year, YouTube had rolled out new features for creators to engage better with the community. Creators could hand pick great comments to pin to the top of the comments section. This serves a dual purpose of showing fans what kinds of comments creators appreciate, or highlight the important aspects about the video.

Currently enabled for key WBTC transit routes, the service will soon be expanded to the remaining routes. “This is yet another attempt to bring smart public transport to Kolkata and to improve the performance of WBTC,” added Transport Department Minister Subhendu Adhikari.

To use this new feature, commuters should open Google Maps app on Android or iOS devices. Enter the destination and tap the ‘get directions’ icon. If it’s not already selected, tap the ‘transit’ icon (the little tram) to view times, bus/train numbers, routes and more. You’ll see the real-time arrival information in green.

Tonto Dikeh Advice Nigerians, Says Control Your Tongue and Control Your Life

After spilling much of her broken marriage, it seems she has finally realized that silence is Golden!

The mother of one wrote:

• Good morning beautiful people (Sharing from ROR)
  *Control Your Tongue, Control Your Life*
  For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body (James 3:2). The words you speak are a true measure of your spirituality. It makes no difference what others might think or say about you; what matters are the words that come out of your mouth every day, irrespective of who you may be talking to: God, men, yourself, circumstances, or nature. Be sure you always, speak gracious, faith-filled, and spirit-building words. Tame your tongue.
  The Apostle James likened the tongue to the rudder of
  a great ship that the captain uses to navigate the ship aright, irrespective of the fierce winds driving against it (James 3:4-5). This means that with your words, you can keep yourself in health, in faith, in success, and in the transcendent life. Don’t talk fear, lack or your inabilities. Talk the Word! Consciously put the Word on your lips.
  Isn’t it wonderful that with your tongue, you can disallow sickness, disease, infirmity, and weakness from your body? Always speak health and strength to your body. Many are sick, weak, broke and suffering today because of their careless talking through the years. Get your tongue under control and have your life under control!
  Use your tongue to come out of trouble, depression, sickness, pain, poverty, and frustration. Today, where you are, and what you are in life, are the result of your words. If the result isn’t such that you’re pleased with, you can consciously begin to chart a new course, and decide what the next five or ten years will be like for you. If the results are already wonderful, you can walk in greater glory and higher levels of success if you use your tongue right. Jesus said you shall have what you say. Therefore, use your tongue to beautify your life (Mark 11:23)

Check Out How A Father Saves Baby's Life By Taking Her To Hospital Only Because The Baby Was ‘Crying’

A  lovely father, Stu Bonsall who rushed his little baby girl to hospital just because she was “crying in a different way” ended up saving his daughter's life.

He is now urging parents to trust their gut and risk “looking like an idiot” after 4-week-old Megan was diagnosed with life-threatening sepsis and put in a three-day coma.

The 45-year-old said trusting his gut, even when others might have laughed at him for being a nervous new dad, saved his baby girl’s life. Stu, a service engineer from Burnley, Lancashire, said: “I know all babies cry, I’m not stupid.

“But I sensed something was different. I wanted a doctor to check her over. I would rather look an idiot and know my daughter is okay.


“It's a good job I trusted my gut, because in a matter of minutes, she was rushed from casualty to Manchester Children's Hospital with sepsis.

“It was touch and go, but our daughter is well and healthy, after the fantastic staff and our quick thinking to have her checked out.

“Don’t be scared of visiting your doctors or local hospital, because you never know.”

The father-of-three added that he was immediately concerned when he got in from work on June 11, 2016, because Megan was sobbing in a way he hadn’t heard before.

When she was born at Burnley General, less than a month earlier, weighing a healthy 8lb 6oz, she’d been the picture of health – but hearing her wailing he was uneasy.

When his wife Tracy Bonsall, 44, a dog groomer, told him she had been like that for a few hours, his fears increased.

The couple drove four miles to Burnley General Hospital – despite knowing that taking a newborn baby to casualty because they were crying sounded a little overcautious.

But when they arrived at the hospital, Megan was swiftly taken to a private room.

“We were told she was seriously ill and she was being put in an induced coma,” said Stu. “It was terrifying.

“Then, doctors said she was being taken to the bigger Manchester Children’s Hospital.

“We were to travel behind her ambulance by car. We were told, even if the ambulance pulled over on the way, not to stop.

“It made me think she was going to die before she got there.”

At MCH, she was taken to neonatal intensive care, where a series of tests were carried out.

Soon after, she was diagnosed with sepsis, a life-threatening condition where the body’s response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs.

To this day the Bonsalls don’t know how their girl developed sepsis, although it is most commonly caused by an infection.

Put on intravenous drips, the nervous couple were told to wait and see what happened.

But the results were alarming.

Stu recalled: “Suddenly, because of all the drugs they were feeding her, she was double her size.

“It was awful to see, but we just hoped she would get better.”

After three days, Megan was brought out of the coma and was allowed home a week later.

Luckily, she suffered no long-lasting effects and is now a happy, healthy 12-month-old baby.

Meanwhile, Stu will be forever grateful that he acted when he did.

“I’d tell all parents to go to the doctor if they are worried,” he said. “I could so easily have done nothing – fearing I’d be told I was over-reacting.

"But my actions saved Megan’s life. I will never regret that, I would advise all worried parents to visit their hospital. It could save your baby’s life.”

Only if all fathers and parents can be this loving and understanding.

Some Things That Warn Not To Eat At A Restaurant

It is well known now that eating out is now a common practice for most people. And it is good to know how to select the right and preferable place to eat. These tips listed below will seriously help in deciding if to eat at a restaurant or not.

Below are the 6 listed tips..

(1). The kitchen is about to close 

Buying food at a restaurant could be a terrible idea because you may be buying stale food. This is because they would have packed up and it is the leftovers that would be sold to you if you decide to eat there.

(2). The toilets are dirty 
This is very straightforward. If the restaurants have a toilet and it is very dirty, there is every possibility that the eatery does not take hygiene serious.

(3). The service is bad The customer is king. Every service provider including restaurants should know this. Therefore, they must do their utmost best to make them happy by providing quality services. If this is not the case, there is no need to go there.

(4). Dirty glasses all over 
After eating, the table should be cleared immediately. If not, it should be done minutes later. But if it takes hours to remove these plates to the extent that you have to inform them, look for another place to eat.

(5). It has terrible reviews 
Reviews can make or mar any business. So, before you choose a restaurant, check out the reviews they have garnered over time and this will help you decide if you should eat there or not.

(6). Hairs not covered, gloves not worn 
A rule that a hygienic restaurant must not joke with is covering hair and using gloves. If they do not use any of these, there is every likelihood you will find strands of hair in the food. This can be very annoying.

5 Things To Do When You Find It Difficult To Secure A Job

It's not easy to get a job but trust me, it's not the end of the world. It’s important to keep pushing and not let frustration consume you. There are some things you can do to survive and eventually overcome an unemployment period.

Here are 5 posible things you can do when you find it difficult to get a job.

(1). Consider Selling Crafts or Offering Your Services 
If you’re a crafty person (you like to make and invent things), you can try to sell some of your crafts. There are many online platforms, as well local craft fairs, that support this and if the patronage is good, you can actually turn it into a business. The same thing also applies to services. You can try to find work doing various tasks that you are either skilled at or passionate about. If the reception is also good and patronage is reasonably high, you can begin to advertise your services and make it a business. If the business continues to do well, you can also consider searching for entrepreneurial development initiatives and apply to them to help fund and grow your business in the long run. Bank loans are also another alternative, if you prefer.

(2). Network 
Networking can be a bit difficult, but thankfully it can be learned and can be very useful in helping secure a job. So, do the best you can to attend events that offer networking opportunities. Work on selling yourself appropriately at these events because networking remains one of the best ways to meet new people and get new leads. Also, be sure to ‘spruce’ your online presence and ensure it is up-to-date, professional and easily accessible to recruiters and other individuals that are or could be vital to your job search.

(3). Consider Other Industries 
If you’ve tried and failed to find a job in the industry that you’re interested in, consider looking for jobs in other industries. It might not be exactly what you want, but it’s better than wallowing in frustration. Besides, you just might realize you actually enjoy this new career field and grow exponentially in it. You’ll never know until you give it a shot.

(4). Review Your Resume 
You might have made a mistake on your resume that turns recruiters off when they go through it. So, if you’re finding it hard to get a job, try reviewing your resume again. Check your resume for correct grammar and spelling, emphasize the results you achieved in your previous jobs, not just the activities you carried out, and write better cover letters. In addition, when you are eventually called in for an interview, learn to practice interviewing, research well about the company and be prepared to answer any question. Find ways to project confidence during interviews and to properly deal with instances where you might not know the answer to a question asked. Finally, just be positive, don’t let your frustrations come through and don’t undersell yourself – boldly state your accomplishment regardless of how small you think they are and give them good reasons why you’re the best fit for the job.

(5). Don’t Stop Applying For Jobs 
It might be frustrating but once you have reviewed your resume and you’re good to go, you should continue with your job applications. The best thing you can do to survive a period of unemployment is to apply for as many jobs as you can, and apply for them as well as you can. You can also consider applying for lower paying jobs in the meantime, just to get some money to help put food on your table until you have a breakthrough with the caliber of jobs you desire.

Hope this will help you. I pray it does.
