To the conductor thing, because it really boiled my blood - I'm a vocalist for a big band ensemble and firstly, the conductor is the most highly musically talented person on stage. Our conductor's a fucking machine. While we're practicing, he has tablature with FIFTEEN (Yes, 1 and 5) lines of notes at once. He has the notes for every single instrument plus vocals and keeps track of them all at once. He hears if one of the five trumpets was half a pitch under where it was supposed to be while keeping track of the fourteen others. He'll cut in and say "Hey sorry, this one strophe in sheet 44, can we try that again but with you seven one octave up?" Our conductor's superhuman for real and extremely talented. And the same goes for other conductors. They often have extensive experience and many have PhDs in different studies of music. Secondly, big bands like these are more often than not super good friends. We train together for months and months, and many members of these ensembles have played together for years. We celebrate events together, play concerts, practice together and have coffee together many times a week. They're super tight knit groups. So those randos in the comments being all snarky and saying they need to make way for "real musical talent" and "They probably hate watching their conductor wailing around" are as off the mark as they can be. They're good friends and professional associates of their conductor. They know eachother very well. It's so ignorant and smarmy to accuse them of all this. Sorry for having a nerd blowout lol, I just am very passionate about what I do and wanted to set it straight how this all works behind the scenes.

[@magnusbruce4051]

Also, isn't the conductor usually also the musical director so they're responsible for arranging the music, organising the space/rehearsals and essentially being the manager of the group?

[@Spagettigeist]

I totally agree with you and was very happy to find your post. Although I only sing in a village choir as a hobby, I can still see how important the conductor is. Without the one we have, we would be so screwed XD He can hear out the problems from all the different voices, helps us improve ourselves and even writes scores for some of our songs. And he can play the piano too to help us out. Conductors should get their proper due for the work they do.

[@alexthebudgie9071]

my old conductor was my number one fan and an incredible hard working lady. she was the conductor of 20 ish people in our small town. she was a teacher, a sunday school teacher and a brownies leader for 60 years who spent all her free time painting and raising money for charity and brownies. i miss her everyday. she continued to be a conducter and volunteered as a music teacher until 3 months before she died. she lost her voice and had terminal cancer and was still painting a calander to raise money for her favourite charity while volunteering at brownies, while conducting at 81.. i miss that lady. she was the smartest and most hardworking person ive ever known and she is the reason i am in the education field and teach primary school kids classical music in my spare time on the weekends.

[@outogetyougotyou5250]

To clear the confusion (googled definition to help people understand the difference). TLDR: The OP is correct with the definition of median. Mean: Mean, here the arithmetic mean is the most used measure of central tendency. With both discrete and continuous data set, a mean can be obtained. To obtain the mean of a set of numbers, you have to sum up all the numbers and then divide it using the total numbers. In short, it is taking out the average of all numbers. It can also be said that it is the ratio of the sum of all observations to the total no of observations. In pre-primary classes, it was introduced as average to the students while in higher classes we came to know that it is also known as Mean. Median: When you arrange a given set of numbers from smaller to biggest, the middle number is said to be the median. Arrange any given series in either ascending or descending order or the middle value then is termed as the median. To find the median the data can be arranged in either descending order or ascending order. In geometry, it is defined as the centre or midpoint of a polygon. Mode: The most repeated number in a given set of observations is the mode or it can also be said that the Number or Value which have the highest frequency in a given series of numbers. It is also known as the modal value. It is a part of 3 central tendencies apart from the median and Mean. It is the highest bar if presented in a histogram or a chart form. If there is no repeated number in a given series then no Mode will exist for that series.

[@utha2665]

In addition to that, if there is no true midpoint, ie there are an even number of numbers in the set, the average (mean) of the those two middle numbers is taken and that is the median. eg. (1,2,4,6) the middle is 2,4 of which the average and the median is 3, whereas the mean of the whole set is 13/4, or 3.25.

[@teagor9505]

Bro I really appreciate you going through the effort of properly explaining it, but let's be real most will be too thick to understand it. A quicker, less precise way might be: The median and average are only the same, if the amount of people under the average are equal to the amount of people above average. Because less people are millionaires compared to the amount of poor people, the average and median aren't the same. Obviously there's still some key points missing, but I guess that gets fhe point across

[@broek6075]

Thanks for pointing this out saved me the work of having to type it out

[@mojobag01]

Mean, mode and median! I just had a flashback, good explanation.

[@RuyVuusen]

Yes, but it is important to reitirate median is still a form of average. To quote Oxford Dictionary, average is "a number expressing the _central_ or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, *median,* or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number." Average usually means the value with the best representation of a set and that can be any central tendency depending on the context.

[@neeciedgm]

That supposed vet nursing student is talking so much bullshit. Cats keep their own claws in trim by scratching against rough surfaces to remove the outer husk and reveal the new sharp nail. They will use their teeth to aid the shedding process and to keep their nails clean. As a cat ages, the muscles that help keep the claws sheathed can weaken, they can’t retract their claws properly, and this can cause the claws to catch on furniture and clothes, or come into contact with hard or rough surfaces, resulting in damage to the nail and nail bed. An older cat may also have trouble keeping it’s claws clean and shedding properly, often due to arthritic/stiff joints or obesity, amongst other things. This is the time cats may need assistance from their owners or vet. Poor breeding practices aside (ie Munchkin cats) a fit, healthy cat should not need any help at all.

[@notall2gether]

As someone who's been a violinist in orchestral music since the age of 11, turning 20 soon, the conductor NEEDS to be dramatic to match the music. They're doing a lot more than just waving around a stick and typically need to be reading multiple different parts of the music at once in order to cue people in. Quite a lot of mental math being done and they still manage to communicate dynamics (volume) and mood at the same time. A monotone conductor would make a monotone performance.

[@Kestrel1971]

A slight correction on the first item in the video as both posters are correct to some degree. Median and mean are two different things. If I give you these numbers: 1, 5, 100, 250, 300, the MEAN is the arithmetic average: (1 + 5 + 100 + 250 + 300) / 5 = (656 / 5) = 131.2, and this does mean, in this example, that the majority of the values are lower (1, 5, 100) than the MEAN (NOT the MEDIAN). Meanwhile, the MEDIAN is the number in the middle of the set of sorted numbers (in this case 100). MEAN often skews values. For example, if you have a party with your coworkers, the MEAN is generally going to be reasonably representative of the income for everyone in the room, but if someone invites Bill Gates, then suddenly the mean doesn't really mean much as it would suggest everyone at the party is a billionaire. This is where MEDIAN comes into play because it can give a better representation of the equally sized subsets of numbers that are less than, and greater than, the median. So when the first poster says, "Median isn't the average", he's using bad terminology - I think he meant to say, "Median isn't the mean", which would make him correct when he says the median is not the typical income. However, he's going to be quite often wrong when he says that most people make below the MEDIAN income as the number of people making below and above median income is identical unless the median also happens to me the mode of the set, in which case the statement can be either true or false depending on the total range of numbers. Now, had he claimed that most people make less than the MEAN income, he would, generally, though not always, have been correct (consider the case where everyone earns the same amount).

1) Median is the value for which 1/2 of the values lie above it and 1/2 below it. 2) The conductors main work is done in rehearsal. The conductor directs the orchestra as to the appropriate interpretation of the music. On performance night a professional orchestra will perform as rehearsed and the conductor is largely their for the audience to have something to look at. 3) Father Christmas is the personification of the celebration of Christmas, like in Mother Nature, and originated in the 15thC. Despite its history Christmas is a Christian festival. The association of reindeer with Christmas is a 19thC American invention. Christianity is not a middle eastern religion, it's structure and formalism was constructed largely in countries outside of the middle east. The version in English speaking countries is solidly a European religion. 4) Trinity - group of three things or people. From the Latin trīnitās meaning a group of three. The "tri" in the word is not a prefix. The base word is trine meaning 3 fold, and the suffix is -ity converting an adjective into a noun. When "tri-" is a prefix it always means three. 5) Arguably almost all art has a political element to it. 6) Stop watches are used to time events, and are not typically used to determine the time of day. 7) "Today, the United States, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands are the only countries that exclusively use Fahrenheit temperatures." "Fahrenheit is commonly still used alongside the Celsius scale in other countries that use the U.S. metrological service, such as Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, the Bahamas, and Belize. A handful of British Overseas Territories, including the Virgin Islands, Montserrat, Anguilla, and Bermuda, also still use both scales" 8) No comment, or should that read "Know coment"? 9) Nothing made sense here. 10) I can't work out what the argument is about. 11) Alaska and Europe are not countries. 12) Any of the above could produce carcinogens, and they might not. Depends on the details. 13) Would depend on the body armour and the grenade. But even if the armour could stop penetrations from fragments the energy transfer from the grenade has the power to kill. 14) Friedel and Israel published "Edison's Electric Light: The Art of Invention" in 2010. 15) Turtles are reptiles, and they are not amphibians. 16) Cats sharpen and maintain their claws through scratching hard surfaces. If such surfaces are not available the claws will need regular trimming. Cats do not bite their claws to shorten them. If they did bite them it would not damage their teeth.

[@E.T.42]

2) You need a conductor in the performance for start, end and time keeping. All but the simplest music without tempo changes or fermata would fall apart without one, no matter how well rehearsed. 3) Where did you get any of that from? "Father Christmas" is first named in a French source (so it's Père Noël of course) from 1830 but has a number of earlier influences, most notably Ded Moroz and Saint Nicholas, both of whom are older than the 15th century. Oh, and nice job on basically saying "it just is a Christian festival, trust me bro". We know it was put there to co-opt winter solstice celebrations, half or more of Christmas traditions have nothing to do with Christianity but come directly from earlier pagan religions, so maybe that statement would need some arguments behind it.

[@chriswatson7965]

@@E.T.42 2) Orchestras can start without a conductor. In such circumstances it falls on the lead first violinist to start. All professional orchestras can alter tempos as rehearsed without a conductor. Orchestras that are not full time might struggle with this. 3) I was sticking solely to the English version of Father Christmas as looking into the history in other countries would have been fraught with complications. From a source in Wikipedia "The first known English personification of Christmas was associated with merry-making, singing and drinking. A carol attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree in Devon from 1435 to 1477, has 'Sir Christemas' announcing the news of Christ's birth and encouraging his listeners to drink: "Buvez bien par toute la compagnie, / Make good cheer and be right merry, / And sing with us now joyfully: Nowell, nowell."" and "In 1658 Josiah King published The Examination and Tryall of Old Father Christmas (the earliest citation for the specific term 'Father Christmas' recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary)." Saint Nicholas was a real person, and the fusion of Santa Claus and Father Christmas is a comparatively recent event. Ded Morez is not known in English custom. Christianity did co-opt the winter solstice festival, but it is now and since Christianity did co-opt it, a Christian festival. It's even in the name. The traditions associated with Christmas have all also been co-opted by Christianity, thus now making them Christian. Paganism no longer exists in any real form, and thus cannot claim modern ownership of any behaviours around Christmas or at any other time.

I don't know much about conductors, it's really not my field, but my understanding has always been that the people playing the instruments learn "A B C" while the instructor learns where "A B C" goes, since music is usually built up of "puzzle pieces", you need them to fit into the right places or you don't get the intended result, so a song can as an example go A B C B A C A B B C A, with each letter corresponding with a sequence of music. The conductor also serves as the unifier so that everyone stats in the correct tempo as it's very easy for someone to speed up or slow down if they don't have something that serves as a ground. At least, that's been my impression.

You were kinda right with how cats in the wild trim their claws. Just scratching a tree isn’t enough though which is why a cat tree isn’t enough for indoor cats’ claws. Climbing is what does it.

[@feuerling]

​@harveycooper5098 That's declawing. It removes the whole claw and the bone it's attached to, which changes the way the cat walks and stands. It leads to chronic pain and arthritis risk. (Also biting.) Claw trimming removes just the tip of the nail, which grows back. The paw remains fully functional. The cat doesn't feel any pain unless the person trims back too far and hits the quick. When cats are elderly or disabled, they can lose the mobility to maintain their claws on their own, which leads to overgrowth; the claw curls inwards, eventually growing into the flesh.

[@harveycooper5098]

@@feuerling unless there is an actual reason for the trimming, it is animal abuse is my point. if the claws are ingrowing then obviously trimming is necessary but if there is no reason for concern leave the fucking claws alone, some people think they must trim their cats claws regardless of if it is actually needed or not.

[@AngelEmfrbl]

2:20 *fine art degree* Depends on what we're talking about, most art wasn't political and was a painting with purpose to meet an end. Like at one point the only place artists could get money was at one stage to make art for the lords of the land, the king, but also for the local churches. There wasn't much political for that reason as art pigments and paint could not be wasted. And artists could be put to death in some places for it. But there are other eras where it was political and some of them even happen as early as bronze age. We've got vandalism from Roman times, if ancient graffiti is counted as art, that was very political. One thing to note that a lot of gallery based arts are political from the 1900s because the invention of the camera took away the power artists had over the portrait. Why pay an artist to paint you for 3 years (oil painting takes over a year to dry sometimes) when you can have a photo in 3 hours or 3 days (depending on the dark room conditions and how fast the picture could be developed)? Funfact; in the early black and white photos, the more in focus a subject is, the more "unalive" (to be polite) a person was. Some with perfect focus? Their so unalive their not breathing. Anywho, a bit off topic, but art changed to abstraction and expression while trying to find its roots, along with the other madness of the 1900s, but political statements were often very popular in the 1900s especially to do with the Russia revolution, Nazis Germany and WW2 propoganda. And they've never stopped really being political since. Consider animation is art at the end of the day, you have no end to political animations alone. Yeah sure, maybe there isn't so much art pre-1900s, but given the climate of the political scene, the value of paint, and the lack of freedom of speech... I don't blame people for thinking there is nothing. But at any given historical time, artists snuck things into paintings when they could get away with them. It depended on the political climate and freedom allowed and the general response to it.

To be fair, if you're making art to fit the purposes of pleasing a king or religious institution you ARE creating political art, just not necessarily politics you're particularly invested in.

Sorry, buddy, but the guy talking about the median income was correct. Let's show what the median is: Number sequence 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 10, 11, 12, 18, 24. Here the median of these 15 numbers is 4, which is the eighth number in this sequence, with seven numbers below, and seven numbers above. The average is the sum total divided by the number of numbers in this sequence. So the average would be 105/15=7. As you see the average is higher than the median. Or in this sequence of 15 numbers a total of ten numbers lie below the average ie 10, 11, 12, 18, 24 are higher, everything else is below the average. The median is the middle value in an odd-numbered sequence, and in an even-numbered one half of the two numbers next to the middle number separator. Now for a more drastic example: A country with 999,000 people of 1000€ yearly income and 1000 people with 100 million € yearly income would have an average income as such ((999,000*1000)+(1000*100,000,000)/1,000,000) people. Which equals to 100,990€ average yearly income. However the vast majority of people live on poverty wages of 1000€ per year. The median wage would be 1000€. So the vast majority live on wages far below the average. Know your mathematical and statistics terms. They are important.

[@mcreena]

The first person isn't actually wrong. A MEAN is calculated average of a set of numbers, not a median. The median is the middle value, meaning if you listed all the numbers in a line smallest to largest, the median would be the one in the middle. It doesn't mean average, just the middle value. So for instance, in 21, 25, 29, 30, 51, the median would be 29, but the average or mean would be 31. In this one instance, it appears George is the confidently wrong one. edit - for people who are still saying the OP is right in saying 50% earn below the median income, I think you're misunderstanding what median income means. The median income isn't measuring how many people make a certain income. It's taking the different incomes that exist and saying what the median was. So for instance, if you have a company with 200 workers where people make either 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000, the median income would be 20,000. However, 180 of those 200 workers could be making 10,000, which would mean the majority of employees earn below the median income. The median income doesn't take the value of every single person who makes that specific income, it just takes that income and uses it as one value. It's not representative of the amount of people who make that income, just how many different incomes exist. You can change your definition of median income and take into account the amount of people making each income amount, but when median income is typically discussed, it's referring to the different types of income, not the amount of people who earn those incomes.

[@PrinSipalFC]

No, George was agreeing with the second (correct) poster - you're wrong. Also, the median is a form of average, and is just as good as the mean when it comes to evaluating the average of a set of numbers - they both have benefits and drawbacks depending on the situation.

[@mcreena]

​@PrinSipalFC You're incorrect, George was agreeing that median is an average, he even literally says it's the average, which is incorrect. Middle value and average are not the same thing. Average typically refers to an arithmetic mean, not a median. You would not use the terms median and average interchangeably in a statistical situation. They are used to evaluate different things. If you want to find the average income of a group, which is what the post was about, a median isn't a good number. A mean would be a much better indicator of the average income of a group of people. A median and mode would be a good way to find if there's a skew towards lower or higher income, or the most common income, but not the average.

0:26 be very careful here. Median is a kind of average but not what is most commonly meant by average. Median is, as you said, the middle value. what person exactly in the middle of the spectrum makes. The Average is the amount of money everyone makes added up and divided by the number of people. The closest statistic to that value that is commonly available would probably be gdp per capita, as very rich people throw this way more out of whack than very poor people.

[@DrivingGod21]

0:15 honestly I think this person is correct. Median income is not a good representation of the actual average income.

The amount of people that are commenting about cats nails, and are completely wrong. Cats have zero need or want for trimmed, worn down or blunt nails. Their nails are retractable to maintain their sharpness and to prevent them being damaged by the environment when wandering about. They grow like onions - in layers. When they scratch things like trees and scratching posts, this is to remove the outer layer and reveal the new sharp nail underneath. Only senior cats, ill cats, or disabled cats are really at risk of ingrowing nails, as the majority have (or should have) access to things like cats trees that enable them to remove the outer layers. If they dont, these layers build, which makes the nail thicker and longer and can result in it growing into the pad. Trimming nails should only really be done in indoor only cats.

Some people would look at that median and say "50% of people must be making under $50, while 50% must be making over $50". But that's not the case. With the example of only four people, you can clearly see 25% are making above the median, while 75% are making below the median. And in this example what people would refer to as the "typical" or "average" income would be just $1.

I can answer the cat question as I was a breeder for years. I knew this would be useful one day! Cats out roaming and doing mad cat stuff should generally wear down their claws naturally. When cats chew their claws they are not trimming them, they actually shed claw layers so they are grooming off the loose layer. In house cats however, they must be trimmed or they end up mega sharp and, as the nurse said, can grow all the way round and puncture the pads. So yay me! I knew something useless that came in handy for a KZbin video.
