jason it has been a pretty incredible day there and even record snowfall throughout what's it been like nobody's allowed to be driving lessons from emergency vehicles. download the official t. application to your cell phone choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites from alzheimer's if you're away from your television just doesn't matter how would your mobile device if you can watch artsy any time anyway.

this was a routine train following its regular route from one siberian city to another. in the vestibule of the last carriage a man was smoking a cigarette. as he turns to go back to his compartment he pulled open the door and stepped into emptiness. a moment later he found himself lying on the track there was a crackle of frosted b.m. it was forty below zero and he was wearing just a t.

shirt sweat pants and slippers so began his struggle against extreme cold. inside this climate change where the temperature was ten degrees below zero the volunteer has been in there for about half an hour in this experiment his condition is gradually deteriorating he's on the verge of the early stages of hypothermia his body temperature has fallen by about a degree in a huff and a shiver is approaching just now the second stage follows his pulse rate will plummet shivering uncontrollably kill experience a very slow reaction blood will gradually be drawn back from his limbs to concentrate around his vital organs brain lungs and liver. blood vessels in the extremities will contract. final stages of hypothermia. i will now undress myself immediately

because there's a certain adaptation process. now i want all of you to go to some place as soon as you experience some sort of cold shiver. meeting a frosty sunday morning by sitting in the snow wearing practically nothing for a physiologist. who practices yoga it's a normal event he demonstrates his own method of overcoming the cold for the other workshop participants it's something of a feat. now it doesn't mean that you immediately stop feeling the cold you will feel the cold or your thermal receptors will be working for you. the only difference is that you will not feel the cold penetrating your body with the heat you're meeting some of you may even be sweating. you name it.

well that is our task. we're even feeling. tries to explain briefly to his students his method for overcoming the cold he's borrowed some elements from the ancient practices of tibetan monks others come for discoveries in physiology we believe that with proper breathing and special exercises a man can survive the extreme cold for up to two and a half hours. our body cells have a temperature limit but no more than forty two degrees. therefore temperature flow is insufficient to warm the whole body. when the body is in a cold environment it requires a significant amount of heat. this heat can be produced outside of the cells and you then that the most suitable candidate for this role is the lungs were all the oehler sacks can produce large amounts of heat. that's. according to the lungs help to produce additional heat when there's

a lack of oxygen those hypoxia the process of burning body fat also generates heat . my first thought after the fall was to get up and run i wasn't about hurt i just told the muscles in my arm and leg so i got up stretched and began to. i decided to head in the direction of the departing train and you did the most important thing was not to free. this rare footage from the mid eighty's taken by a soviet documentary crew shows an elderly bearded man in shorts walking through the snow. his name was puffy or even off founder of a semi religious doctrine. for the last forty years of his life ivanoff one nothing but shorts regardless of the season or the outside temperature.

wise i want to. i believe that there was anyone in the world can wear just shorts. to shorts or in ephemeral phenomenon but the body which needs to live and breathe the fresh air is another thing she's. i don't want to say that no one can do i believe everybody can. they just don't want to because the body feels cold. because it feels cold people try to protect themselves in a physical way. believe that the cause of all human disease was people's own delicate nature because of the fact that they had removed themselves from nature and that the only way to return to the right way of life was to reject the trappings of civilization including clothes.

called war is full of life it is natural. definitely helps the body generate heat inside. not to heat their. clothes. it's heat that comes from the body. of the cold received mess of exposure before the soviet union collapsed and soon after his death thousands across the country followed the must as example walking out in the cold wearing just underwear and pouring cold water over themselves. does not a typical ivanoff is an entrepreneur a former high ranking official and his wife is a successful fashion designer they have four children so again believes that he owes his personal well being to the ivanoff health improvement program. but

my lungs were almost completely blocked my heart wasn't working properly at the same time there were other health problems to including allergies and allergy to the cold analogy to the cold is the most terrible when you get your feet wet you get as maher and by the time i was fifteen i almost got to the point where i simply had no chance with normal social life. according to say again after he started pouring cold water over himself twice a day old his illness is disappeared. poor cold water over yourself in the morning in the neve when you wake up you just take a bucket of cold water and pour it over yourself you should stand on the ground in the winter right in the snow and ask for good health for yourself you need to find the opportunity to be thankful that you're alive no surprises his neighbors with

his daily cold water treatments which he takes in his backyard along with his whole family. of course. twenty three years is a long time after. you're gone for it not expecting a call but the feeling of now if you look you can see that the water evaporates and my body feels really warm because. if i feel comfortable i can spend an hour here if i don't feel good. i never felt completely frozen i was never involved in extreme activities. who was nicknamed. volunteered to take part in this experiment under the supervision of doctors he'd sit without clothes in a climate chamber at a temperature of minus ten degrees. thirty six point eight. ready.

this is. a famous. from a group of us winning enthusiastic. cold swim. with this little. celebrity various international swimming festivals. and for such a long time it became boring for us just to swim so we came up with this idea and it caught on this routine is about sixteen years old even older you can't get used to the cold you can tolerate it and you can struggle with here we're struggling

with it using our bodies resources. people who enjoy swimming in icy water his in russia. in subzero temperatures maintaining that cold is a classic example of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. i haven't been wearing a hat in winter for the past twenty years now i've gradually been training my body to the cold. extreme conditions. january. of the baptism of christ the outside temperature is about minus twenty and there are long queues on the river bank for a large hole in the ice it's a russian tradition openness with religious day it's hundreds of people believe that it's a time when the water requires healing powers. right now only ten percent

of people here swim and they will go on swimming while others will still be waiting for the next that isn't of christ. the average person can survive in water in these conditions for more than a quarter of an l. before fatal hypothermia sets in when the body is in icy cold water adrenaline production increases and once out of the water there's a spike in endorphin production causing a sense of euphoria usually felt by the winter swimming just after leaving the cold water it's similar to a narcotic high. when people come out of the water if you touch their backs. please come here for a minute come here. touch his back it's warm around the kidneys it's even hot for you and your porch are going to. burst so that means quickly in cold water it's completely harmless thanks that's what i'm talking about.

the cold during winter swimming the conditions are identical to those that went through the exposure. ten degrees. to swimming veterans such tests before. the experiment was primarily carried out with a remote. he just said in that hole in the fetal position with his arms and legs were crossed and he was there for about forty five minutes. and i was in the next hole with it was about ten meters long so while he was sitting in a nice hole i was swimming back and forth in mine. for maybe thirty minutes or so with.

the trainer. for survival to reach the nearest station but he had to move quickly wearing nothing but slippers on his feet and with the protection of gloves his hands immediately began to freeze the temperature was more than forty degrees below zero. the temperature outside was minus forty five it was pretty uncomfortable to run along the track my slippers came off several times i wasn't afraid of any. death i didn't even think about the cold i just one thought in my mind run run run

. and realized. the big picture.

the mission in. britain to free. free. free. free. free. free media.

the beautiful. it's impossible to get used to the cold cold is a mental yes you definitely can cold an element to submerge you can feel your hands starting to freeze and gets dog you have to feel everything with your fingers to do that you have to take off your mittens whereas were to school then at best for the real thing is a medically turn red at the worst case scenario is that they start to go pale. it's minus forty five degrees celsius on this poll tonight eighty seven degrees north the sun won't shine over the horizon for another two months. russian explorers but for the shuttle and for a smaller

a pitching that tent and preparing for another twenty kilometer walk towards the north pole. but without it we saw it here at the all to cape of the northernmost point of russia and then we walked all the way to the north pole. it's one thousand kilometers but because the ice in the. is constantly moving that's used to that one thousand kilmer says ends up becoming one thousand. and small and had to face many challenges during their night walk to the north pole even in such cold conditions people still sweat and that's considered to be the main threat to polar explorers because of minus forty degrees with wind speeds of twenty meters per second moisture on the skin evaporates quickly leading to fatal hypothermia ten times quicker than usual. such extreme temperatures the body enormous energy

simply to maintain its core temperature which if we did many calculations over our journey every day with eighty five thousand calories worth of food an ordinary man in the consumes maybe two thousand five hundred per day when he eat a piece of bacon after an hour and a half maybe two hours it starts working which turns into calories and that's when you feel unwell. i am worried that he started to shake uncontrollably. and his body temperature is starting to fall. he says he feels ok. let's get him out of there.

the subject believes that he can carry on the thirty minutes he's already spent in the climate chamber is nowhere near his limit according to. the fact that he started shivering is the body's normal response to cold and he could spend at least another half hour in the chamber but the doctors observing the test were adamant that he should not continue. no you don't feel anything at all if you would stand the cold apathy sets in and your brain switches off. i began to freeze almost immediately after ten minutes my feet were really cold i only had my slippers on. fifteen minutes later i began shivering badly and after twenty minutes i just wanted to lie down in the snow and do nothing.

in this part of western siberia winter temperatures often reach minus thirty five degrees celsius. soldiers from russian army special units deployed here learning how to fight in the extreme cold. reconnaissance troops night may have to keep almost completely still for hours in the cold special uniforms help them to fend off hypothermia. boardroom we used various devices like a multi-layer uniform. the first layer is also working material to prevent the body from sweating. it draws all the moisture from the surface so the body remains drawing. out of the second leg is fleece material and the third is a warm jacket and pants.

some of these soldiers have been drafted into the army from russia's southern regions it took them at least a month to a climate to the extreme low temperatures of siberia. in december we had the lowest temperature of forty degrees below zero when we go out on field exercises we try to take fat and grease with us we spread it over the exposed poured so the body can see the face and physical training takes care of the wrist. it's to do our best it contains liquid nitrogen which has the boiling point of two hundred degrees below zero we can demonstrate by putting a flower into this container. look what happens. get out any frozen solid. cryo therapy which has recently become popular in medicine in cosmetology uses the short term exposure of skin to very low

temperatures inside the cryo chamber liquid nitrogen evaporates cooling to one hundred sixty degrees below zero. this. really cool. to feel ok. doesn't it go on. when released from the cryo sauna the patient feels about the same level of euphoria as the women are in icy water and the physiological impact of temperature shock therapy is also about the same. during the procedure the croix a sauna treats. what we call an air barrier to the heat has nowhere to go but the

skin temperature. it is cooled down to below zero degrees below zero but this doesn't result in the deep penetration of the cold into the muscles or internal organs and that's why the procedure is for a very limited time it lasts longer than three minutes but during this time there's a peak in various processes within the body. fifty five minutes into the experiment yogi and physiologist winnowed has to perform more of his breathing exercises to slow down the cooling of his body gradually the cold takes and his body temperature continues to full steadily and his blood pressure drops an hour into the experiment and removed from the climate chamber. he did it. of course it was my first hour long test and it was rather extreme. in the end i felt as though i was reaching the point when i even wanted to stop the

experiment. i'm on for the first half hour i felt quite comfortable sitting there. then obviously i was approaching my limit and somewhere around forty five minutes i had to stand the cold in my own way. i would give them orders and. when you're not started feeling the colts. he started to do some exercises with his abdominal muscles and also a particular breathing drill. so in doing that but in the heat production increased scenes and he had a faster heart rate. which by the way went up significantly. even a layperson can survive extreme cold with no clothes but instead of using special take needs designed to enable survival adrenaline and that sheer will to live and

what help the body to save itself. the adrenaline the desire to live and the ability to run the distance with. in other words he knew what he was doing he knew what he wanted and what he had to achieve so he survived he clearly understood that he had to run in exactly that direction. i finally sold the station after half an hour of running those last few hundred meters were the hardest for me. when i finally ran up to the judy guard he looked at me in complete shock and then he poured me some hot tea and called the police the newspapers wrote a bite me but there's just one thing i really don't understand why did they write that i was drunk i wasn't i was stone cold sober.

here's mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call a dog and. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot about my country music stars are a fool you know what kind of mind their terrorist cells in your neighborhood all want to give us aid to feature a sunday on limbaugh and the christian point you. can see through it to the. you know the corporate union distracts us from what you and i should care about because they're profit driven industry that sells a sensationalistic garbage he calls it breaking news i'm abby martin and we're

going to break this that. potentially deadly blizzard taking aim for the northeast it's expected to hit stunning in a few hours from new york to maine we have team coverage of the storm. but what we're watching is the very heavy snow moving into boston proper earlier today it was very sticky you can see it start to become much more powdery down to the bottom line there is still a lot of snow out here a good place for snowball fight. jason it is going to be pretty incredible today there and even record snowfall throughout much of a night nobody's allowed to be driving lessons submergence three vehicles are exceptions.
