   I download from YouTube by using the 3D Youtube Downloader from   
   .  Although my Windows 7 is x64, I use the 32-bit   
   version because my old Windows lacks something required for the 64-bit   
   version.  When this downloader fails to download a YouTube file, I   
   notify the developer.  A newer version is soon released to solve that   
   problem.   
      
   The whole battle between YouTube and dowloader developers makes me think   
   of Wack-a-Mole.

   Trump seems set on going to war against not only Venezuela   
   but also Denmark (over Greenland), Nigeria (because terrorists   
   have attacked Christians), and Syria (over the murder of two   
   U.S. military).  Of course, what he did in Venezuela sets an   
   example that Russia will follow against the Ukraine and China   
   will follow against Taiwan.   
      
   Silly me.  I always thought only Congress could declare war.
