You'll see, the place will be so clean!
When we work on it together, it'll be like a mansion!
Even the landlord won't recognize that place.
And then,
when the landlord says that he regrets, and raises the rent, don't come to me.
Right, my Tülay, heh?
Aren't we going to make that place look like a flower?
Of course we will, honey. It'll be looking like a palace by the night.
May God bless you.
Jülide, give me that, so talk with the phone easier.
Thanks, Melek.
- It's the estate agent. - Hope nothing is wrong.
Hello, Mr. Ahmet? Yes, that's me. Go ahead.
Hold on a minute, how's that happening?
But we're on our way now.
All our stuff is in the moving truck.
Jülide, what happened?
The landlord has given up on renting that place out.
What does that mean? I mean, how? How's that happening?
How could that happen? What do you mean he's given up?
Is that a joke?
Alright, you have no fault on that, I get it, but is this a game?
We were on our way!
All our stuff is packed and loaded.
And moreover, we've signed a contract.
Can't we convince the landlord? We'll talk to, if necessary.
But, how?
What do you mean, the landlord doesn't want to talk?
Alright, Mr. Ahmet, I'll hang up now. You have a nice day, too.

To Sessions: I Formally Accuse Mr. Robert "Bob" Swan Mueller Of Treason!
Things are heating up for Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller.
According to reports, LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick has sworn out a criminal complaint
against him.
The letter was sent to U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions, who was more
than surprised to find out what has happened.
In the letter, Fitzpatrick accuses Mueller "and other Federal Bureau of Investigation
employees in the commission of treason and lesser-included offenses," which were all
done in an effort to get President Trump impeached.
Fitzpatrick wrote this in the letter:
"I FORMALLY ACCUSE MR.
ROBERT "BOB" SWAN MUELLER, III OF TREASON!
MR.
MUELLER IS ONE LEADER OF A CRIMINAL RACKET ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN AGGRESSIVE ATTEMPTS TO
UNCONSTITUTIONALLY OVERTHROW A SITTING PRESIDENT: DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
MR.
MUELLER'S TREASONOUS AGENDA IS TO TAKE DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP.
MUELLER'S AGENDA IS A NATIONAL SECURITY INCIDENT.
MUELLER HAS CREATED AN ILLICIT AUTHORITY UNTO HIMSELF THROUGH THE AGENCY OF ACTING FBI DIRECTOR
ANDREW MCCABE AND DEPUTY U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB ROSENSTEIN.
MUELLER IS POSITIONED, USING HIS ILLEGALLY MANUFACTURED AUTHORITY TO ATTACK PRESIDENT
TRUMP, COVER-UP COMEY'S CRIMES, THE CRIMES OF OTHER AND THE COVER-UP OF HIS OWN CRIMES,
MUELLER'S CRIMES.
PLOTTING ASSIDUOUSLY TO OUST OUR CONSTITUTIONALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT, COMBINED WITH MUELLER'S
ATTACK AGAINST HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETERANS, MUELLER CONTINUES IN SERVICE TO HIMSELF, TO
AN INSURGENT DOMESTIC ENEMY GOVERNMENT; TO THE ENEMY WITHIN.
MUELLER IS A VOLUNTEER ENLISTED IN SERVICE TO A RIVAL GOVERNMENT COMPETING WITH OUR U.S.
GOVERNMENT 'AT WAR WITH OUR BASIS CONCEPTS OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY AND A REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT.'
MUELLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING OBAMA TO BE ILLEGALLY 'SELECTED' INTO THE OBAMA'S
'RESIDENCY', AND NOW SCRAPES THROUGH THE RECORDS OF A LAWFULLY ELECTED PRESIDENT FOR
NO REASON."

Status Credits - a WARNING for travellers - Duration: 8:47.
So what are these for? Butterfly backstroke breaststroke and freestyle.
Are we gonna win more this year? Yes!
Morning good morning everyone it's a
beautiful morning in Melbourne actually you remember do you guys remember I used to
start every video saying hello flying friends
hello again flying friends, flying friends I'm flying friends.
I don't do that anymore let me know if you want me to bring that back happy to do
that again. Sadly we're not actually flying today I've got a bunch of errands
that I need to run around Melbourne but whilst I'm doing that I wanted to chat
you about something which is gonna be a little bit tricky to talk about bearing
in mind how much I love Qantas. But I think it needs to be said. Actually got
quite a lot of travel booked this year already and that's part of the point of
this video is there's quite a few trips coming up. In just under two weeks time
gonna be out in Sri Lanka spending some time over there in Colombo and also
hopefully heading out to the Maldives as well which I've never been to before. But
the main point of telling all this is because this was all booked through a
double status credits promotion that Qantas had. So windy this morning
probably a good thing we're not flying actually. This is then gonna be a story
about status credits now well to be technical this is a story about frequent
flier miles but how status credits are really
important to help you get the most frequent flyer miles that you can for
every flight that you're doing. But before I get into too much detail here's
a really quick he's a really quick 30-second overview with very expensive
graphics explaining what exactly are status credits.
When you fly from here to
here you earn frequent flyer miles for every mile that you fly. You also
earn status credits for the same leg. Now when you earn status credits and over 12
months the more flights you do and the more status credits you earn determines
which status credit tier you end up at. But the trouble is if you don't get to a
certain level by the time your year ends your points reset to 0 again and you're
back to 0. A big thank you as well to my daughter who did provide the graphics
and the artwork for that sequence. And the plane! And the plane.
That's the real reason why we're not flying today because I blew the budget
on that amazing demonstration and all those graphics.
So why collect status credits and frequent flyer miles well it's twofold
status credits are great because you obviously get the benefits that come
with the different levels of status. So for example if you get gold with Qantas
you can get into all of their lounges in the airports around Australia and around
the world and you don't have to pay so you save that seven six hundred dollars
however much it is for the annual fee. You go up another tier you go up to
platinum you get access to all the first class lounges around the world as well.
But let's not forget the goal here at the end of the day is frequent flyer
miles that's what we want here that's what you can exchange to actually go
places you can exchange to get upgrades. And as you know with my obsession with
travel and flying that's kind of my objective here. But the higher your
status credit level the more frequent flyer miles you get for the same flight.
Let me give you an example if you do a normal flight which is going to earn you
a thousand frequent flyer miles at the bronze status you'll get a thousand
miles for that flight if you go up a tier and you get silver status you
get a fifty percent bump on top. Gold gets seventy five percent on top and Platinum
actually gets a hundred percent so you get double the points for the same
flight that you're doing if you're a bronze frequent flyer compared to if
you're a platinum frequent flyer. Also side note, it is really hard to say
frequent flyer so many times in the video apologies if I've said flequent a
lot of times I think I'd I think I did. Also realized I really need a haircut
there's a place over there I might go Anyway the point of this video is that I
want to warn you about something you may not otherwise know with status credits
and that is to do with when you take a flight and when you actually earn those
status credits to your account and the timing of when you take a flight and
when those status credits come into your account is critical.
This is not a sponsored video for Abacus they're just a very good coffee shop in
Melbourne and I got my coffee unnecessary pastry. So status credits now
the thing that you need to be aware of the thing that caught us out is when you
book a flight and you're expecting to get status credits as a result of that
flight especially when you're booking it during some kind of promotion and in our
case it was the double status credits promotion, you need to expect that those
status credits are going to appear in your account a fair time after you've
actually touched down. Now this caught us both by surprise because I fly a lot
between Sydney and Melbourne domestically right you get 10 status
credits between Sydney and Melbourne they appear in your account pretty much
by the time you leave the airport. Double status credits is different. When you're
expecting those status credits to come in so you can go up a tier before a
certain point in time you need to make sure that any bookings you're making are
made well before your year's going to end. So in our example we booked that
flight remember when I went to Singapore recently and I was doing that flight in
Seletar and we landed on January the 23rd and Jack my wife's status credit
year expires at the end of January. So there were seven days between landing
and when she was hopefully going to go up a tier. But because those status
credits didn't come in time she didn't actually get that upgrade to the next
tier. Now we followed up with Qantas obviously and we've spoken to them about
this and I will be honest Qantas have been really good in this whole thing.
They're looking at it for us and they're investigating what's going to
happen and we don't know either way whether she's going to get that upgrade
to the next tier. But I thought it's important so you guys know that if you
are relying on status credits to get yourself upgraded from one tier to the
other just make sure that you make that booking well before your year ends
because there's likely to be a delay between your wheels touching down and
the status credits actually appearing in your account. Okay more on that in a
second but first it's my daughter's swimming carnivals she's in the district
swimming carnival for her school so we need to go cheer her on.
I love Melbourne you know if there's one thing we're not short of
here in Melbourne its wide-open spaces. Look at this it's a vloggers dream it
gets you away from all the public on the street who's staring you when you're
pointing a camera at yourself. So what are what are my tips then knowing all
that what are my tips on if you are trying to look to build your status credits and
you don't want to get pinged with an issue like this? So number one don't do
what we did and book a flight which gets you to your destination a week
before your status credit year is up because that's obviously two close as
we proved in our situation. My second bit of advice is if you are gonna book and
if you have booked and if your status credit year is coming to an end and you
haven't got your points go to customer service before your year ends. I think
honestly the longer you leave it the less chance you're gonna get of actually
getting those status credits approved to your account. And my final tip if you
have earned points and you haven't seen them in your account yet there's a
facility where you can jump online and you can put in a points claim request so
that's where you... I just spat on the lens. So you've put in the claim for your points
you've reached out to customer service you've basically done everything you can
to remind the airline that you want to get those status credits. If anyone out
there is watching this who's actually from the airlines and has come across
this situation before and has got some additional tips for travelers leave a
comment in the comments below and you can kind of give us your official line
on what we should be doing as passengers to make sure this doesn't happen to us.
And next up on the channel well we've got another couple of flights coming up
in the Cirrus the SR22 is going to get another workout. I'm trying to take it
down to an airfield that I was told never to land at that should be an
interesting one if I can get permission to go in there. Also want to take the
SR22 overwater I want to try and get it down to King Island and that's about
half an hour over water but I haven't told my missus that so that's between
you and me okay.

Benefit BADgal Bang Mascrara vs Roller Lash Mascara Comparison - Duration: 8:45.
Hi guys its Mary and I'm coming to you really quick, I'm gonna run some errands
so I thought, I'm gonna pop out a really quick video here it's one that's been on
my agenda for a little bit and that would be to take Benefits BADgal Bang
against their Roller Lash. Now many of you probably know that I tend to favor
this mascara it is one of my top mascaras I love Roller Lash not just
because it's a good mascara but it's cute right it has a roller on it anyway
so and I never really cared for They're Real ... it was okay but I never really
cared for their BADgal I mean BADgal Bang what I guess this is their way of
saying they've put her down so now now it's out with a bang I don't know why
but she's back with a whole new look look there's a point on that anyway this
is a rubberized handle you know Benefit in their packaging right okay so what
we're gonna do is we're going to take them against each other and see should
you even bother with BADgal now I in all honesty I have worn this tube two
times so I had to use this tube to two times before I could compare them so
they've been used the same amount of times let's talk about the wand on the
Roller Lash this is it it's a curled wand and it is made of rubber but it's
not very wiggly okay it's kind of curled and it has the
ability when you put it on to grab your lashes and pull them up and it curls
them I like this because it gives me a separated long looking lash not
necessarily voluminous but a natural pretty lash that on a day like today I
would reach for I'm going to use Roller Lash on the left side I'm gonna use BADgal
on the right you can watch me we'll see which one commands the
most attention I think I'm gonna take my friend MaryEllen's approach to this now
it's always gonna seem shocking you count the swipes but it's really the
only accurate way to know when it is going to seem like a lot of swiped count
your mascara swipes and see if it doesn't seem like wow I put on a little
mascara alright so here we go and I'm gonna start at the base of the lashes
and wiggle and pull up turning it this way
20 swipes
so BADgal's mascara wand then looks like this and it is real wom wom it's all over
the place so I guess what so it can bend with your lashes I don't know I do find
that the stopper in this does not pull off of the mascara the way I want as
opposed to the Roller Lash So... 20 swipes
counting....
you guys know I never stop at one coat so now I'm gonna come back into roller
lash did you hear that
that's that stopper pulling off the mascara like I like this is that BADgal
probably stop there because I don't want to put on a full face of
makeup I would like to go without any on the bottom so I'm not gonna get along on
the top mascara today and 20 more with the BADgal
okay it is exhausting counting all right then
okay then BADgal, Roller Lash
a lot of you remember that I use the Blinc heated eyelash curler on my lashes
I don't show it on camera all the time because what gets kind of boring seeing
me do this over and over and over but this is what I use when I'm done with my
mascara especially if it's gotten clumpy this will help I turn this on it heats
it up it's like a curling iron for your eyelashes now you're supposed to use
this before you do your mascara but I don't I use it afterwards because it
like melts my lashes up so they stay up and curled all day now I am satisfied
with the way roller lash looks for you know what I'm doing but BADgal is a
little it's got my lashes clump together I'm not fond of that look I love a good
volumizing mascara but I do not like it when they're all clumped up like that
now see that's BADgal is a very much wetter mascara than Roller Lash I'm not
really sure what's gonna happen with BADgal over here when I go to whoa it's
coming down here okay so this is worn then I'm going to take it right at the
base and I can feel the warmth that's how you know if you need a new battery
if you can't feel it's warm it's time to get a new one and this thing eats up
batteries like nobody's business - I'm just gonna tell you that but it will
also bring your lashes up and hold them all day okay I like that look is this
dry yet I think it's a little bit dry now oh okay well yikes
this always seems to help other mascaras that I have that do this so I'm hoping
then it will not make it worse curious minds want to know what your thoughts
are and what do you think about it I
want to thank you for being the best part of the Fritzy family cuz even if I
don't have hair that behaves you still love me
alright thing guys if you're not having a blessed day please go out and be a
blessing to somebody else and until next time Love you See You Bye!!

Hosting IBM i Applications in the Cloud - Duration: 33:58.
Hey, good morning everyone, I'm your host Mark O'Brien, a business director at CM First Group.
I want to thank everyone for registering for today's webinar, which is
entitled "Hosting IBM i Applications in the Cloud" and today you're going to hear
from a couple of industry-leading and rehosting experts. First up, we're
going to have Patrick Schutz, who's the VP of Application Management for Abacus Solutions
the rehosting leader especially
around rehosting for the IBM i platform. He'll provide a great overview on what
it means to move responsibility for your CA 2E repository, from internal
resources to an external hosting company, or even to the cloud.
Then, John Rhodes, CTO and Managing Director of CM First Group will talk about some of the
factors for CA customers that--well--for them to consider rehosting their
hardware and why CM First is partnering with Abacus for this part of the business.
So, some housekeeping details here: you can keyboard questions if you look at
your GoToWebinar console on the right side there. We will gather those and
following the two speakers and some poll questions we will have a Q&A session
for everyone in the audience. So, first we've got a poll question, the first of
four audience polling questions about today's webinar.
It is what version of CA 2E are you on. Each person, you can select one option:
8.7 version, 8.6, 8.5, 8.1, or older than 8.1. We'll give people about 45 seconds
or so to respond.
Second question is what IBM i operating system or OS are you
currently on.
So, IBM i OS 7.3 is the latest GA. There's also 7.2, 7.1, and even some 6.x, or even
5.x people out there. And could we see the results of the second poll question?
We have about 33% in 7.2, 42% in 7.1, and 17% in 6.x, and 8% in 5.x or below. Okay,
so vast majority on 7.2, and the first question about version of CA 2E.
About half at 46 percent at 8.7, about 8% at 8.6, twenty
23% at 8.5, and 0% at 8.1, and 23 percent older than 8.1.
Okay, cool. I'll take it over. Yeah, I just wanted to
take a few minutes to talk about, you know, why we are partnering with
Abacus and what the CM First perspective is on hosting applications in the
cloud, what we've seen among our customers and people who talk to.
And I think it really comes down to, as we've been talking to customers that are
trying to modernize their applications, which is really our business, we're into
helping folks that are on 2E and Plex, take those applications forward and a lot of
times people have told us, you know, we ask what their vision is, they say, "well, you know
eventually we want everything to run on the cloud", and you start seeing people
that, you know, are obviously in a traditional model which is very common ten years ago
or even five years ago or even maybe two years ago,
everything is on-premise, you see them start to look at,
hey, we've gotta move stuff out to the cloud because a number of reasons. One is
we got other applications like Salesforce, or like CRM-type systems, or
Oracle that's running in the cloud, we got to integrate with that, or, you know,
that's just the way the industry is going and we want to focus on what we do
best, which was developed above a software. If you're starting to see a
shift of folks going for this on-premise to, you know,
some variation of cloud, and that's where I think a company like Abacus
really has a lot of value to add for this shift that, you know, they're one of
the few companies that offer an IBM i focused offering. So, as people are moving
to modernize their applications, I think it also makes sense to modernize their
data center and so that's where we think it's a really good partnership between
CM First and Abacus. So, after we'll be talking a lot more about that. But some of
the specific reasons we hear from customers on, you know, why they're moving
this direction is I think first and foremost is, you know, focus. Do you want
to be in the data center business or do you want to be in the application
business? And if the answer is we want to be in the application business, we want to
develop proprietary application to give us a competitive advantage, and the
hardware side of things becomes less important and, you know, maybe that makes
sense to shift off and shift that focus off to somebody else that just focuses
on that. You know, since some other possibilities are around global
applications, a response time, it can make sense to partner with somebody that has
points of presence in different areas, that can make things very very fast,
responsive. I think integration with other
cloud-based apps, I kind of touched on that, things like Salesforce and other
applications, that's where things are moving so to really integrate with those
it could make sense to have your other applications on the cloud as well. So, I
think that's cool, we're hearing really on the direction and you like to
turn things over to Patrick to really get into the details of their solution
and how it can work. So, Patrick I'll turn things over to you
if that's okay sounds. Sounds great, hello everybody, Patrick Schutz here at Abacus. If they'll
be able to show you my screen here. Show my screen. Let me know if you guys are seeing this.
There we go.
Okay, great.
Well once again,
Patrick Schutz over at Abacus. Appreciate everybody's time.
Hopefully you all can hear me well.
So, want to spend a couple of minutes just describing who and what we
are, and then we can kind of open up to how we fill the void or fill the need
for IBM i clouds, but Abacus has been in business for a...since 2000. We have a
brokerage-heritage background. So what do we do? We do the IBM i, we are a platform
focused provider. We provide server, we provide cloud product services and
offerings around the IBM i, but we also do hardware services, and we also buy IT.
So, we're really a full solution provider and we've grown from a traditional
brokers background to a full system provider status
If I kind of keep going here, really the emphasis of our conversation today and I think the
relationship and the offerings we bring to the table is our IBM i platform
solution focus. Basically, we argue, we do the IBM i better than the rest and we
can do pretty much anything and everything up to the application level.
So what does that mean? That means we have cloud, we have product, we have
business continuity and services. So, sometimes customers desire to go to
cloud, but they need to do it incrementally, sometimes customers want
to stay on premise because of requirements, or operations cost, or
whatever reason, but we have solutions around both of those needs. So, once again
we can bring you to the cloud for some or all, or we can talk about doing
different offerings around customer premise, but we once again argue we can
do the IBM i better than the rest, all the way up to the application level. So, as we
kind of go forward here, and this is a five or six deck PDF that we will provide
everybody when the call is done, but how do we do it? We have a team of 15
plus IBM i technical and sales specialists, and what does that mean? That
means it's more than anybody I'm aware of and in this space, and we're
very focused. Resources: 30,000 square-foot corporate headquarters, we
have lab, we have warehouse, we have testing, we have engineers, we have people,
we have logistics, we have a wide breath of offerings. Data centers, we have
multiple data centers that we run and manage ourselves. Some are owned and some
are through partnerships, but we're in the data center business and we're aware
of all the ins and outs of that. Support 24/7, 365, we have that available. Knock
phone, email, portal, you have access to us in all different ways. Before mentioned
portal, we can get access to us a number of different ways, but that's a preferred
method and that's the best way to get our fastest and best response from our
customers. And certified. So, we are an IBM MSP, we're IBM gold, IBM specialty power,
IBM specialty storage, so our solutions are packaged up with IBM and for IBM for
our customers, and we take an independent approach to that. So, why Abacus?
A couple of, you know, regular words, but we feel these are important. We're focused.
We have expertise. We provide variety. We're fast, we bring value to the table.
Partnerships, obviously we have a large partnership with IBM across the
different boards and we use a number of other offerings to help provide what we
ultimately call in our cloud platform as a service with degrees up into the
mid-levels of operations management. We talk about the Abacus IBM i platformed
customers. We have a nice variance of industry, of region. I would say 95% of
our customers are domestic and they vary across all type of size and verticals. I
would say manufacturing probably would be our most--our number one vertical and
some of these customers you can see would fall into that, but a number of
them across multiple rays. So, this is just a sample of names you may recognize.
We've done the homework, so if you are looking at making the decision of going
to the cloud or staying on premise, we've actually done the homework with and for
many of our customers of saying, hey, we really view this from an environmental
science. You can be a basic, a small, a medium or
large environment customer, but ultimately what you really care about or
what most of the customers care about is what's our total cost of ownership going
from a premise to a cloud. So if you want to stay on premise, we can help
support you with support services, operations back up, DR as a service and
whatnot, or we can roll you into our cloud, but ultimately the cloud, if you
are doing higher degrees of best practices, becomes more economical and to
be honest that's not how it was five years ago. Five years ago I don't think
the cloud was more economical and people were still going to it, but now I think
the economies of scale and the commoditization have really turned the
cloud into an option that customers really work for. So, if we kind of sum up
the summary here is we're a full solution provider with an IBM i platform
focused. We can pretty much do any which way but loose and we look forward to
working with the customer, each individual. I'd say 80% of
people have the same things or same things happening, where you have 20%
unique and we're willing and able to do both of those and help our
customers figure out their environments for the short and the long term. So that's
kind of the the platform summary of who and what we are and how we do it, and I
think there's probably, John, some questions and some things that we wanted
to maybe potentially hit on as well? Yes sir, I guess we can take some questions
now and maybe we'll take some additional questions a bit later. So, folks have--
we've seen the question app in the webinar, but yeah please ask your
question there. Obviously we have a few coming in. So we'll take a few more,
then I'll talk a bit more and we can take some additional questions then.
Okay, so we have some--so Mark, you want to take over the questions?
I was wondering if you wanted to do that poll question on POWER8 technology, the latest in IBM i,
and then I've got a couple of questions from the audience for the--for our
panelists. So, are you on currently on IBM POWER8 technology: yes, or no but plan to
in the next calendar year, or third, no plans currently to go on an IBM
POWER8. So if we kind of look at that question, I think that's an interesting
point and I can kind of speak to that a little bit guys. So POWER8 is the
latest and greatest from IBM. POWER9 has been released by IBM, but it's not
going to be available from the AS/400 perspective. I call it AS/400, IBM i,
iSeries, by a bunch of different names.
But from that perspective, the POWER9 is due to come out. We're expecting third quarter of
next year, so if you are not on the POWER8 the assumption is we could help
you get there by shifting to the cloud, that's the technology that we run on, but
we also have POWER8, POWER7+, POWER7, POWER6, POWER5 that we
run all in our cloud. So different customers have different potential needs,
but knowing that POWER9 is coming out in the near future, that's something that
makes an interesting dilemma for customers trying to do an upgrade today.
So if you're looking at doing an upgrade, shifting to a cloud would provide you
the flexibility of getting the POWER9 down the road or, if you're looking at
premise, you may be potentially looking at making a purchase at the end of the
cycle of a system. IBM has some discounts that they're offering to incent
that, but at the same time if there was potential time I would maybe think
about reviewing a waiting for a POWER9. So POWER8 is the latest, and POWER7 and
whatnot sounds like a lot of customers may still be on.
Yes, so the results of
our poll, Patrick, kind of indicate that there's kind of a rift. 40% are
currently on POWER8, another 13% were plan to go there in the next
year, and 47% do not have any plans to go on POWER8.
[indistinct]
Yeah, if you're looking at going to POWER8 that's pretty interesting because
right now, like I said, you have this decision to make and we can help you
steer that. So as a business partner of the highest level from IBM we can give
you the recommendations of going from what you have today to POWER8, or maybe
making that decision to go to wait till POWER9 depending on what the
business requirements are, or once again if you shift to the cloud you would be
moving to a POWER8 technology that's the latest and greatest we have today
and knowing that you have POWER9 upgrade options for no additional cost
going forward, so there's some flexibility in the cloud that you may
not have by staying premise. But it's a good visibility of what
everybody's running on, which I see pretty much below 50% would be on
non POWER8s as that's what we see in the marketplace, that seems to be pretty
correctly trending.
Okay, so our audience is representative of the larger market
as a whole. First audience question is why not go directly to IBM or AWS or
Amazon for this kind of service. Another-- Patrick, you could field that one.
Another great question. Yeah, so from a standpoint, IBM does not actually host
their own direct cloud, first of all. They have SoftLayer, who they had purchased,
has clouds but they're actually not IBM i focused, so from a standpoint IBM does
not present its own cloud and works with partners or MSDs like Abacus to
provide that, and because the marketplace is a diminishing marketplace our tagline
is we want to help run the last 10,000 IBM i environments. And what does that?
That means, the translation is it's declining, the footprint is. There's
arguably one hundred, hundred fifty thousand instances today. That number is
arguably decreasing, so an AWS, or a Google, or Azure, those companies don't have
enough customer base to target this, so they don't have a cloud in this area as
well. So you have to come to a provider like Abacus as an MSP who has a
specialty that can also complement your other maybe commodity and other
specialty cloud needs. So ultimately it becomes a hybrid environment which we
see is the as the new normal today.
Cool, great. Another question is, is there
an impact on my CA 2E license if I go this route? I'll give you a perspective
from business development. That--the CA rating system is going to depend on
your developer environment, as you know, and if you do change hardware
it may or may not trigger a license event if the rating and CA's
estimation is a higher one than then it will. If it's the same or lower
then there isn't an impact on the license.
John, do you have something technical-- technically to add to that license
situation?
No, I think you pretty much summed it up, that, you know, if
your license is for a certain tier and you don't increase that tier, then you're
not gonna have a problem with transferring the license. A lot of folks,
you know, if you're not on support maybe that would be interesting, and if you're not on
support but you want to get back on support, it might make real sense to
move to a hosted cloud environment and put your license there because, you know,
probably you could put just a development environment on, like Abacus,
and get a smaller license from CA then may be on your production box that
you have currently running, so maybe you'd be able to save some money there
to get back on support by doing Abacus.
Okay, next question is...
Maybe Patrick has some other, I don't know, licensing comments in general because
he's more experienced in that area.
Yeah, that's a great question.
You know, application drives everything down towards the infrastructure, right? So,
obviously making that application decision, which John and team can help
you facilitate, one. Two, from the standpoint of ownership from what we
provide in a cloud, you will get the OS, you'll get the non-operating licenses,
you'll get the user licenses, we provide all of that into a partition or slice
for the power customers. So we take care of all the day-to-day operations, non-operating
and all the underlying operations and application cost from
that side and then, once again, you know, knowing how it's going to directly
affect your primary application and some activities around that, so I
think the good point is we have all of the day-to-day operations cost covered
at an operation spent expense of the customers.
Mmm-hmm. Follow-up question to that: so what size customer would need either a
tier two or tier three data center, Patrick?
Yes, so another good question.
So from a standpoint on the type of environment that you're looking for, we
do a number of different environments. If you're on an older version system, we can
put you into what we call our traditional hosting offering. So that
could handle customers that aren't current or on older versions. I think
some people said their version 5.x and whatnot, we can facilitate that and the
reason would be to do that because you have a serial number conflict
potentially, but if we were going to be talking about getting into our
enterprise cloud, you're going to want to be at a certain tier data center, which
we have all of the proper tiered and SAS ratings and all the proverbial security
check boxes you're going to look for, and that means you're a Best of Breed, best
of purpose offering. So you don't have to worry about those responsibilities going
forward for customer premise, so we take care of all that with them for you in
our cloud and the data centers that we run in as well.
Another one here, probably for you, John, would be, do you have any CA 2E or
CA Plex customers that have moved entirely to a public cloud like AWS or
similar cloud offering?
Yeah, I guess the short answer is no, we don't have any
that move entirely and the reason is that most of our customers have IBM i's
on the back end and you're not ready to completely get rid of it, really they
have enterprise applications running there and that's really difficult
proposition. We have seen as folks that move parts their applications over. We
have a success story on the website about a company in Louisiana that's in global
logistics, they had a requirement to transition application from something
ran locally for Louisiana to something that ran globally in different locations
on Southeast Asia and South America and Europe. So they move their warehousing
and distribution application to AWS by generating Java from CA Plex
and that worked quite well for them. They're able to really
their operations expense and downtime by shifting that responsibility to the cloud
hosting provider, and they still have an IBM i that runs locally, but that just
does a collection of data type operations. They able to manage, you know,
a global operation from a pretty small staff by using AWS. So in that case I
think it works. I, you know, I don't think that moving everything to the cloud is
something you do in a year or two, that's probably a five-year project
which, you know, Abacus I think be a part of that and we can also help with that
if that's the direction you're headed.
Mm-hmm, okay,
last..the one question coming in was, what is going to be different with my CA 2E
system if I move to the cloud. It's kind of a follow on what you were just talking about there
What would be different with your 2E system?
I don't think there being anything different. I think it would be a, basically a non-event. I think
Abacus talks about this and what the transition process would be to move to
their data center, but, as I understand it, what we've seen with the customers that have gone
this route is it's pretty much a non-event because Abacus has things
planned out pretty well. Maybe Patrick you could elaborate.
Yeah, yeah, I can kind
of take that a step further. So, from a standpoint of what's going to be
different that, the goal is none. Obviously, there's planning to work that
goes into it. So how do you get to a cloud? I think that might help
answer the question a little bit more detail. So if we were agreed that you
wanted to go to the Abacus cloud, first of all let's make sure you're a prime
candidate at a current version, right? You had a current version we can then work
towards getting you tested, embedded, so we get your data and we actually
present it in a test cloud and you then establish network, you establish
connectivity so all your users would have access. We confirmed that all is
working well with and for you. Then we would have a window that, we would have
an outage window. It could be minutes or it could be days depending what the
requirements are. We would then take that data, bring it to the updated--we take
your data, we'd update it to the now test cloud
that we'd shift into a production. We then would have you--we convert you and
run you and then test, test, tests, go live. Then you then would open up to your
users to run business as usual. Every once and awhile even have a printer or something
that's not working, you may have a user that has some access, we're very used to
that and we can help solve that in the short term, and then in reality once
you're in the cloud and your applications working and running, you are
business as usual and then you have a greater, larger team and environment to
work from and you have expandability, flexibility, all the regular operation
cost. So there is a planned project that helps you get there, we're very versed in
that and very thorough in that process, but once you're there you're
operating and then I think you have a flexibility to do some things at the
infrastructure level and probably at the application level that you maybe didn't
have before.
Okay, perfect, I have another kind of tactical
question about how does IBM i and VM or docker environment, how is that going to
exist on the cloud?
So let me try to understand that better. So how does the
IBM i environment exist in the cloud or what was the...
Well, I guess, how they coexist?
Oh, okay, so how does a... so a typical customer for us is going
to have three or four IBM i's, they're going to have a production, they're going
to have a dev, a test, and a DR, something of that nature, maybe multiple different
applications running production, then they're going to have half a dozen, a
dozen Windows environments that are going to be a company and those are
going to be very intertwined with the AS/400 traditionally and they're going to
need to reside very close. So we do have a very robust Windows cloud as well and
its purpose is to support our IBM i customers. So, like I said, typical
customer for us is going to have three or four IBM i environments with maybe
half a dozen, a dozen Window intertwined latency concern application surrounding
it and from that perspective we take that all on. Then I think the hybrid
becomes the new normal. If you have commodity Windows workloads and things
of that nature, I think there's probably other providers that
can actually probably do more of an infrastructure as a service offering for
those, and if they're not latency concerned or intertwined with AS/400,
let's bring those to another provider that could probably do a more
commodity cost option. So ultimately, what are we providing? We're providing
platform as a service options and that includes the IBM i and whatever
accompanying windows were closed that would surround it.
One more for you is
the POWER8, does it have a GUI limitation?
All right, now we're probably
fall off my technical cliff here.
[indistinct]
Yeah, yeah, so we've got a whole technical team
behind me as an account executive and so many leads are our managed services
practice, I get pretty technical, but I get you normally to the ninety or ten
yard line and then we have our technical team punch it through, but that also
brings up a good point of we have resources, that 15 plus technical resources is very
deep and wide in the IBM i and we're also diverse in from a scope of age
which is it's traditionally a, I would say an older
demographic in the IBM i space, we have variances in almost every
tier of age that helps us keep and stay young, which will help us support our
customers going forward too.
Mm-hmm. One general question here about when you say
cloud you mean accessing the IBM i on your premises or ours and talk a little
bit about that, about some of the options that there are for people moving
in this direction.
Yeah, so I don't think everybody just cannon balls into the
cloud, right? You do it in steps, so if you're thinking about making a refresh
you may want to start with a backup as a service, DRs a service, maintenance,
operations management. You stay on customer premise, we do those operations
with you remotely and for you, so we can basically complement what you're doing
today. And then when that cycle happens down the road, whether it's in a year for
POWER9 or three or five years whatever, it's for POWER10 you want to
say, hey, I don't want to do the harder refresh I actually just want to go to
the cloud, we could then facilitate that. What's interesting I think what we try
to show on that sample pricing is all things being equal, you could probably
run it cheaper and better in our cloud than you can on premise, but at the same
time not all customers are ready or willing to do that because you could be
remote, you could have certain type of regulations that require you to be on
premise and if that's the case we can augment what you're doing today, do the
same set of services locally at your premise and we can run that
AS/400 environment for you going forward.
So once the customer is on
the cloud, how do they scale their IBM i from that point forward?
Yeah so, traditionally if you buy an IBM i, so let's say you're going to
buy a new POWER8 what you're gonna look at it traditionally, you say, okay
what's my undetermined need, I'm going to over purchase and so let's say you're
going to increase your traditional purchase would be, you increase 30 to
40% of whatever you had today. So you're planning for the inevitable or
the unplanned event. So in the cloud, what we try to do is we try to give you what
you need today and then you have virtual scalability. So we present our processor
in slices and you can increase your quantities as much as you need. Our
storage is virtual enterprise sand, so all flash storage arrays so you can
increase by gigabyte. Our backup is the same situation, networking that you would
parlay off our existing networking. So the moral of the story is if you go to the
cloud I think you have more flexibility, more enterprise options, but also you can
scale for what you need down the roads. You don't have to plan or over purchase,
which I think has some financial bean counters in the backend, you know, always
challenging how big of a system you need. You can just buy for what you need today
and know you have the scale to go if you have growth or your purchase or you have
a new acquisition, we can facilitate all of that.
Great.
That kind of does it
for the, you know, our audience apply questions. Some really, really insightful
insightful ones there.
We do have one remaining poll question. We'll see if John, if we can get to that
to that last question, here we go. Our last poll question would be, "how
concerned are you about IBM operation staffing?" Either first, a very--I'm very
concerned, this is a critical staff that have already retired, or I'm somewhat
concerned because we do have plan retirements within the next 12 months or
so, or lastly, we're not concerned. So, if our audience could check in for this
last question, that'd be great.
So, interestingly, only 7% are quite concerned and about 21% are somewhat because they've got
people coming up, but the vast of majority people here, two-thirds to three-quarters, are saying that they're not
they're not concerned about that, so they've got things covered on the staffing side.
This really concludes the poll question and we've got one more
one more screen to pop-up to the audience, basically about today's activity and,
so, you know, what do you think about rehosting. I hope that you got to get exposed to some things
and perhaps some concepts that you might not be particularly familiar with,
especially on the IBM i. So, you know, basically, takeaways are that hosting make
sense, a lot of sense during a variety of different modernization
processes. It allows you to focus on new application development as you spin up
dev and test environments really efficiently, and combining Abacus as an
MSP with CM First can be a good solution because you've got Abacus
taking the hosting and then we can handle all other aspects of the of your
CA 2E repository as well as, you know, data, your databases in all of your IBM i
services and so forth that are related to 2E and your other
code bases on the IBM i. So, that concludes our presentation and
webinar today. Thank you very much and I'll be getting out copies of our
content to you shortly. Thanks.
Thanks everybody.
Thank you Patrick, thank you John, and thank you audience members.

How to Be More Photogenic | How to Look Good in Every Picture | Tips for Better Photos - Duration: 6:19.
What's up virgins, it's your boy Based Zeus, and today I'm gonna be teaching you
how to be photogenic AS FUCK so you can start raking in the Instagram likes and sliding
into all the instagram models DMs just like me.
And speaking of likes, be sure to smash that like button, if not, I'll smash your girl,
hashtag Based.
#1 DON'T ... lean back or away from the camera
You know what I'm talking about, when young guys take pictures, they almost immediately
tilt their head backwards and shy away from the camera.
Doing this immediately messes up the structure of your jawline in your pictures and it makes
you look like you have a double chin.
It's almost an instinct to shy away from the camera and pull your head back, as if
you're trying to hide from the camera to hide your ugliness but fuck that.
You're subscribed to this channel so you already know that looks aren't all that
important if you have solid game and a great personality!
Plus, if you're ugly, then I have videos on how to get girls if you're ugly anyway
- which I'll have linked on the screen right now - so being ugly isn't an issue for you
anymore..
Instead of leaning away from the camera …
#2 DO … lean your head forward and jut your chin outward.
Now if you're watching this video and trying it right now like I know you are, you're
probably thinking no way this shit feels so unnatural and awkward, I'm gonna come out
looking like a giraffe in my pictures.
But trust me, jutting your chin forward in pictures is the EASIEST way to create a sharper
jawline and make your face look a lot more structured in your pictures.
Look at all these pictures, all these guys are looking snacky as fuck because they're
all jutting their chin outwards and it's making their jawline look fucking fire.
Leaning it forward creates more separation from your neck so you avoid looking like you
have a double chin and it makes your facial structure more pronounced.
You're welcome.
#3 DO … use your tongue to make your jawline look stronger.
Sounds crazy right?
But if you force your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and breathe through your nose,
you'll feel your jawline tighten up and look a lot more defined and structured.
Try it now in front of the mirror and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You're welcome.
#4 DO … make your skin look smoother.
Oh fuck wait I just said two Do's in a row, instead of a Don't.
Fuck it, I'm only doing one take.
You can have all the photography knowledge in the world but if your skin is rough and
bumpy and you have red spots all over, it's gonna show up in your photos and ruin your
entire look.
Plus, a lot of Instagram filters actually make bad skin look even worse because they
increase the Contrast on the photo which brings out any discrepancies like that.
If you want to make sure your face is on point and looking dope, I recommend you check out
Tiege Hanley, who I got to sponsor today's video.
If you wanna have your best face possible, then use Tiege Hanley, it's simple.
Tiege takes all the guesswork and complicated shit out of taking care of your skin, it's
uncomplicated skin care for men, and the price is ridiculous!
When you get your package it comes with instructions on exactly how much and when to use each product.
They have 3 different levels, their level 1 kit comes with a face wash, an exfoliating
scrub to keep your face glowing, and an AM and PM moisturizer for morning and night.
If you wanna step it up then level 2 comes with an anti-aging eye cream which gets rid
of puffiness and dark circles from under your eyes.
Your eyes are a huge aspect of looking good in pictures and Tiege's eye cream has caffeine
in it to make the skin around your eyes firmer and make sure you're as awake as your morning
coffee makes you feel because if your eyes look tired and all fucked up, then your whole
face will be off.
And if your whole face is off then Tiege hooks it up with their level 3 system which also
includes the eye cream AND an anti aging firming super serum that's packed with vitamins
and antioxidants to tighten up your face and make it look soft and as Alpha would say,
DYNAMITE.
And the best part, if you rub Tiege Hanley on your photos, you'll look more photogenic!
I'll have a link and discount code in the description for you guys to check out.
#5 DON'T … do basic ass poses.
Yeah I'm looking at you, teenage boys.
Wait what?
no no, not like that!
Not in a creepy way with Chris Hansen about to emerge.
You know when guys take pictures together and they all do that stupid pose with their
hands in front?
Yeah please, for Zeus's sake don't do that.
It makes your picture indistinguishable from all the other basic dudes posing like that
on Instagram AND it doesn't even make you look your best because it hides your posture
and makes you look like a clone next to all the other people you're standing next to.
Instead go for tip #5.
#6 DO … figure out what poses work best for you.
Now I'm into photography and I've noticed that most of the time when I photograph people
that they look best when looking directly into the camera as opposed to away from it,
but looking away from it is a good option as well.
It's just about experimenting with a bunch of different pictures and poses and seeing
what works best for you.
Get yourself a little tripod and use the timer on your camera to take some pictures of yourself
in a bunch of different poses.
Then look at em and see which ones you look good in and which ones you don't look good
in.
That way, next time you're with friends and you guys are taking pics, it removes all
the guesswork because you already KNOW your best poses and you can jump right into em.
Trust me, literally EVERY hot girl or guy on Instagram knows exactly what their best
angles are.
#7 DON'T … Take pictures with shitty lighting.
Lighting is also important.
You don't want the light below you because it makes your face look fucked up.
And if you're posing with your shirt off, you want the light right above you and slightly
in front, because it highlights your body and makes you look a lot more defined.
I'm not exaggerating when I say you can look like you just dropped 10% body fat just
by altering the lighting in your pictures.
Play around with it and figure out what works best for you.
And that's it.

Queer women artists in the Harlem Renaissance | #LGBTHM - Duration: 13:35.
In honour of LGBT History Month in the UK I'd like to talk about some amazing
queer Harlem Renaissance artists. I've just written an essay on some of these
people and I found it so fascinating, so I really wanted to talk about it.
Also, even within the progressiveness of queer studies, women, and particularly women of
colour, tend to be forgotten, so today I'd like to focus on particularly queer
female artists. Therefore I am by no means going to be covering everything;
as the renowned Harlem scholar Henry Louis Gates once said, "the Harlem Renaissance
was surely as gay as it was black" so there is a lot out there. This is
designed to just give you a bit of a flavour of some of the experimental and
huge creative output of the Harlem Renaissance. So you might be sitting
there going, hang on Izzy, what is the Harlem
Renaissance?! Well it was a period in the 20s and 30s in Harlem in New York where
black artists started creating all sorts of experimental art, particularly
literature, and they also experienced a surge in popularity from both black and
white audiences. In my previous video on my favourite black writers I actually
named two Harlem artists, Jean Toomer and George Schuyler. Now I don't have time to go
into this fully but before I get into the literature it's worthwhile
understanding the two major artistic ideologies during this time.
One was known as uplift culture and was spearheaded by W.E.B. Du Bois. This was the
idea that art should be propaganda for racial issues.
It was idealistic and the idea was that african-american art should always be political.
The opposing view was supported by Langston Hughes. rather than
idolising the African American, this school of thought wanted to have a
gritty complexity to the depictions of black life, regardless if it showed them
as depraved. And it is worth noting as well that there was a lot of tension
between these two philosophies. The other bit of context that you need to know is
the law, and to summarise - being queer was just very much not allowed.
Homosexuality between men was illegal according to sodomy laws, and
laws about promiscuity and indecency could be used against lesbians.
Also, transvestitism was illegal and it was possible to be arrested on the street
for it. However, Harlem was a hub of experimentation and relative freedom. It
was infamous for its prohibited drinking, thriving nightlife and it was considered
a safe zone compared to lower Manhattan because sexuality was less
rigidly policed. There were huge drag balls at Hamilton Lodge, there were
buffet flats where you could pay to watch people have sex, and the were rent parties
with uncensored theatrical performances. Basically, this really was a
place for artistic, gender, and sexual experimentation. That said,
even in Harlem there were still fines and prison sentences for disorderly
conduct, so even though it was a lot safer, the threat of the law was still
always there. 'Strange Brother' by Blair Niles is a really good book for
understanding the sort of weirdly experimental yet at the same time
constricted atmosphere in Harlem at this time. One of the two main characters is a
gay man, and the book also depicts how people who were sexual or gender
"deviants" were treated by the law. Given that homosexuality was still illegal
when this book was written, it is remarkable how open it is about talking
about philosophies of gender and sexuality and in portraying Mark as a
normal, functioning, intelligent man just with a slight difference. For this time
that really was quite revolutionary. That said, if you do want to check this book
out and read it, I would give a warning for a lot of internalised homophobia.
In 'Strange Brother', a major catalyst for the characters' encounters with their
sexuality is the Harlem blues. Homosexuality was far from being a
secret in the blues bars of Harlem. If you've been wondering what this song has
been: *solo piano blues plays* This is James P Johnson's recording of 'The Dream'
It was also known as The Bull-dyker's Dream, Bull-Dagger's Dream, The Diggah's Dream;
basically it was a really popular tune played by a lot of artists and according
to Willie "the lion" Smith, was an anthem dedicated to lesbians. It might even be
where the term "Dyke" comes from. Songs about lesbians were not uncommon.
George Hanna's 'Boy in the Boat' is basically one long innuendo for oral sex,
and includes the line *Sings: sent them over there, those Germans to hunt. That the women at home can try all the new stunts*.
And then there's Memphis Willie B's 'Bad Girl Blues' in which he complains *Sings: Women loving each other, and they don't thinking about no men*
Basically, men complaining about lesbians not having sex with them... nothing changes.
But that is not to say that women didn't write their own songs. Bessie Smith was quite
well known for having relations with both men and women and Ma Rainey was
pretty damn notorious for being a lesbian. In fact, in 1925 Bessie Smith and
Ma Rainey were found naked with a couple of other women in their home and Ma Rainey
was arrested for hosting an indecent party. But did that stop her? oh hell no
In 1928 she recorded 'Prove it on Me Blues' in which she sings: *they say I do it, ain't nobody caught me, sure got to prove it on me*
I absolutely adore this song so much I mean check out how relatable this line
is it's a testament to the remarkably subversive culture of Harlan that Marv
aney released this song in 1928 which is the same year that Radcliffe halls the
Well of loneliness was judged to be obscene just for a couple of really
brief references to lesbian sex Morini wasn't the only out lesbian in
Harlem GLaDOS Bentley became a legend for her
raucous sexualized parodies of popular songs and how incredible blues voice she
wore men's clothes was well known for her masculine features and even changed
her name to Bobby Minton so that she could get married to a woman sadly we
don't have many recordings of her songs but she has been mythologized and
described in a lot of literature at the time including strange brother and also
in texts by Langston Hughes and Carl Van Vechten
however in 1952 she wrote an article for Ebony called I am a woman again in this
she describes her depraved inverted past and how she is now happily married to a
man thanks to female hormone treatments this is a really odd article for various
reasons it's almost a character of womanhood it shows her you know making
dinner for her husband doing the dishes for a husband picking out jewelry for
her husband and then it never quite commits to saying that homosexuality is
an abnormality it just says what society calls normal either way this article
must be taken with a pinch of salt because she wrote it during the McCarthy
era so it's very likely that she felt the need to publish it to repair her
reputation but it wasn't just the daring and promiscuous blues singers who were
openly queer there was lots of literature at the time as well I've
already mentioned strange brother and another famously daring depiction of
bisexuality in polyamory is Richard Bruce Nugent's smoke lilies and Jade
which was a short story published in the magazine fire but to return to queer
women quite a few short story fictions had a queer subtext to them one example
is nella last passing which is about two black women
who can pass for white and their different approaches to the privileges
this gives them on the surface it doesn't seem to have much to do with
queerness but certainly in the relationship between the two women could
raise a few eyebrows but furthermore parallels were often drawn between race
and queerness in terms of passing and how you can secretly integrate into a
society in which you don't quite belong the story addresses themes of a fluid
identity that on the surface pertains to racial issues but can also definitely be
read with a queer reading but the person we mainly want to talk about is Angelina
weld grim que not to be confused with the white abolitionist Angelina Graham k
world who was her aunt grim k wrote plays short fiction and poetry and he
was best known for her treatment of domestic race issues for example her
acclaimed play Rachel explored the problems of motherhood when raising a
black child in a racist world but despite often looking at themes of
motherhood grim K was undoubtedly gay in a letter that she wrote to Mamie Bell in
1896 she asked her to be her wife saying Oh
Mamie if you only knew how my heart beats when I think of you and it yearns
and pants to gaze if only for one second upon your lovely face signed your
passionate lover green-keyes poetry is characterized by a hushed sadness
longing and frustration because she has a had a lot of difficulties with being
open about her lesbianism especially because of the criticisms from her
father therefore not much of grim k's queer poetry is published however in
some of the ones that she did publish there are a sort of subtle code for
example in her acclaimed poem el beso published in 1909 she simply elides the
femininity of the speaker and the subject Twilight and you quiet the Stars
snare of the shine of your teeth your provocative laughter the gloom of your
hair lure of you eye and lip yearning yearning langa surrender
your mouth and madness madness tremulous breathless flaming the space of a sigh
then awakening remembrance pain regret your sobbing and again quiet the Stars
Twilight and you in other poems she doesn't cover up the female persona but
instead codes the queer desire this is seen in a Mona Lisa which is undoubtedly
addressed to a woman but her wish to fall into the woman's eyes and sink down
and down and down and deeply drown carefully implies something more than
just a platonic friendship and or admiration
her unpublished poetry is unsurprisingly even bolder in my shrine the speaker
adopts a male persona and uses male poetic conventions in order to
legitimize her desire for another woman and then finally I'm going to leave you
from with an excerpt from her unpublished poem Rosabelle which
perfectly illustrates her wish to express her desire but her fear to do so
leaves that whisper whisper ever listen listen prey birds that twitter twitter
softly do not say mean a wins that breathe about upon her lines I do not
dare whisper Twitter breathe unto her that I find her fair tell her white gold
red my love is and for her for her the Harlem Renaissance drew to a sort of
close in the 1940s when white audiences lost interest in the novelty of African
art but the culture has certainly left its legacy the queer culture of drag
balls and coded language in songs and literature as still go on to this day
contemporary gay blues singers such as gay attackable ola gwen avery and faith
nolan have all drawn directly from the songs and identity of Bessie Smith
mulraney and Gladys Bentley quim K and other queer women's poetry wasn't
published very often so it's hard to say that
there was a direct influence but certainly there was a remarkable
similarity to the themes and styles of their poetry to more modern poets such
as Audrey Lorde and Adrienne Rich so that is everything I wanted to talk
about today in the description below I have left a playlist of all the songs
that I mentioned and some others that you can check out and I'm also going to
give lots of details about various books and websites you can look at for more
information whether or not you've come across these people before I would love
to hear what you think it's amazing how much was produced during this time and
how experimental and interesting it all is so yeah let me find out what you find
what you like what you find interesting thank you very much for watching and
good bye

Bride and Groom CRAFTING their WEDDING BANDS !! - Duration: 6:44.
Hello Pablo
Hi guys, are you ready to craft your wedding bands?
We are ready !!
Let´s go
You bring the gold to create your wedding bands.
Tell me why that gold is so important.
We bring gold
of the two parts of the family
I bring from my mother, my father and also my grandparents
but
I bring from my father
two links of the watch he wore every day
because, my father two and a half years ago that is no longer with us.
that's why for me it's very important to bring something of him in my band.
and Dani?
I bring a little of the important people of my family
but especially my grandfather.
The gold chain he was wearing and he gave me
and from my grandmother I also have a little cross
that she was always wearing
they were two very important people to me
and I wanted them to go with us
Great
Well, let's melt it
Ok
- We add 3 parts of copper to the gold they have brought -
- Melting the copper with the gold we get an alloy with approximately 70% of copper -
- We introduce the metal in a 10% of sulfuric acid solution to eliminate borax residues. -
- We laminate the metal as thin as possible -
- This way the acid will attack the metal more easily -
- We roll the metal so that the acid acts on both sides -
- The man with the mask is called Emilio, well I call him Dad .... -
- My Dad pours the nitric acid that will dissolve the copper that the metal contains -
- BE CAREFUL POPE ! -
- ADD SUBTITLES IS FUN -
- HOW BEAUTIFUL IS LOVE -
- 24 later the acid has dissolved all the copper in the metal leaving only the pure gold -
- We use a coffee filter (yes, a normal coffee filter) to filter the gold. -
- The spoon is from IKEA, model Drangon -
- With some water we make the most of all the gold -
- Yes, that "mud" is approximately 23.5 carats gold !! -
- We eliminate water without forgetting to follow the rhythm of music -

Don't Stand By - Duration: 3:39.
He says she should take it as a compliment; He was just trying to please her.
That she is wearing that for a reason, Inviting him to squeeze her.
That she is asking for it, Wanting him to tease her.
He gives it up, he goes away, But the fear it never leaves her.
Nobody see's her, yet everyone is staring, Will anyone believe her, is her story worth sharing,
She starts doubting herself, looks at what she is wearing,
Maybe what he did was OK, because everyone let him.
And that's when it becomes our fault too.
The bystanders, turning a blind eye, If we look a bit closer at those standing by,
we'll find why.
When we see something happen, and others are there,
We all assume someone will help, that someone will care.
And so we sit and we stare, and watch everyone reacting,
Deciding how to act by the way others are acting.
And so we give the appearance, that what we're watching is allowed,
Letting a victim be harassed, to feel alone in a crowd.
It's as bad if it happens once, than if it happens many times,
There is no excuse to let it be, or to not spot the signs,
There are inferred lines, that no one should go near,
So if it's you that sees blurred lines, then it's you that's unclear.
Harassment doesn't just happen to women, But it does more often than not,
Harassment doesn't just have to be sexual, As other kinds still happen a lot.
Be it their age, race or religion, or because they're LGBTQ
It's targeting peoples differences that may not be like you.
It's bullying, it's shaming, it's being a bit sleazy,
It's threatening, it's joking, it's making them uneasy.
It's being treated like property, or treated like prey,
It can be something they do, or something they say,
From crude comments in emails, to far away stares,
Or a hand on the knee, to a body against theirs.
It can be rewards for favours, or punishing those who refuse,
It can be mocking or threatening or trust that's misused.
There are clues, to spot someone mistreated, Appearing alone, sad or nervous, or somewhat defeated,
Was there a change in their work, or the way you were greeted.
Let them know you are there, anytime that you're needed.
Being around your harasser, without being harassed,
Leaves you constantly reminded, reliving your past.
But most people don't report it, or want to risk it alone,
Through the fear of retaliation, or being met with a groan.
We need to open the conversation, provide victims with a saviour,
They're not trying to end careers, they want to end the behaviour.
A few words from a bystander, can bring the misery to a halt,
"I noticed that", "Are you OK with that", "It's not your fault".
"You didn't do anything wrong".
By telling your story, you are validating others,
One in three women, that's wives, daughters, and mothers.
Don't bottle it up, let it out, speak up and complain,
Don't let it eat you from the inside where we can't see your pain.
Victims quit their jobs, more than fix things where they are,
And as they exit, and drop out, they're stopped from going far,
It leaves a scar on our economy, when we lose people at speed,
They're the missing people in power, that we need to succeed.
Once we notice the signs, we can do our part to make it stop
We can step up to support and rise together to the top,
Let's make room for something better, where no one feels ashamed,
Where silence is heard and people's lives are reclaimed.
Let's create a new climate, where we accept peoples feelings,
Where kindness fights ugliness, and we rethink our meanings,
The words 'complainer', 'over reactor' and 'weak' should be rejected;
We need to change the language, to 'Strong', 'brave' and 'respected'.
We can live in a world, where no one has to survive,
Where harassment is not tolerated, and anyone can thrive.
We need to stamp out this behaviour, together as one,
Not just for the victims, but for the victims to come,
For the world we could have, when all's said and done.
