Joe Arridy, 23, who had an I.Q. of 46 and behaved more like a child than an adult, confessed
to the 1936 r@pe and ax murdær of 15-year-old Dorothy Drain in Pueblo, Colorado.
On the 16th of August, 1936, Riley Drain – a Works Project Administration foreman – and
his wife, Peggy, left their home at around 10 PM to go dancing.
When they returned that night, they heard moans coming from the bedroom upstairs.
They rushed upstairs to find Dorothy dying and her 12-year-old sister, Barbara, critically
injured.
Both had been attacked with an ax and Dorothy had been raped.
Miraculously, Barbara survived.
Arridy had spent most of his life at the Colorado State Home and Training School for Mental
Defectives; he couldn't even count to five or tell the difference between red and blue.
He was picked up by police after wandering around rail yards in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and
was thrown into the center of the investigation of the slayings.
After an intensive interrogation, Arridy was led into a false confession by Sheriff George
J. Carroll, the officer who had a part in breaking up the Ma Barker gang.
Many theorize that Carroll framed Arridy in an attempt to get his name in the papers again.
"I think he had to get famous again," said author Robert Perske.
According to Carroll, Arridy had provided a detailed account into the slaying despite
the fact that he could barely string a coherent sentence together.
He was found guilty despite the fact that there was no direct evidence that could tie
him to the crime.
In fact, they already had a prime suspect: Frank Aguilar who had been fired by Riley
Drain, the father of Barbara.
The murdær weapon was even discovered in Aguilar's home but after arresting Arridy
and discovering he was from Pueblo, they zoned in on him.
During the trial, Aguilar claimed that it was Arridy who killed Dorothy even though
her sister, who survived the attack, pointed at Aguilar as their attacker.
Both Arridy and Aguilar were sentenced to die in the gas chamber.
Arridy would become known as the happiest man ever to be on Death Row.
Roy Best, the warden, lobbied tirelessly to save Arridy's life.
He visited him daily on Death Row and gave him a red toy train to play with.
"He was as happy as any child with something he always had longed for and never expected
to have," said Best.
On Christmas Eve of 1938, Best even brought Arridy home to play with his nephews.
He – as well as most other people – knew that Arridy was truly innocent of the crime
for which he had been charged.
On the 6th of January, 1939, Arridy was led to the gas chamber with his toy train still
in his hand.
"A wreck!
A wreck!
Fix the wreck," Arridy cried out with glee as he played with his train one last time,
pretending to crash it into the cell door.
He requested ice cream as his last meal and didn't comprehend that he was about to die.
He didn't even understand the meaning of the gas chamber, telling the warden: "No,
no, Joe won't die…"
He stepped into the gas chamber grinning like a little boy.
He was strapped to the death chair and a blindfold placed over his eyes.
"Goodbye, Joe," said Father Schaller before slipping out.
Then Roy Best dropped the gas cylinders that ended his friend's life – as warden at
Old Max, that was his job.
Joe Arridy was buried on Woodpecker Hill, the rocky western slope of Greenwood Cemetery
which was reserved for convicts who died in nearby Canon City prisons with no loved ones
to bury them.
His name was spelled wrong on the rusty marker placed on top of his grave.
Years later, this marker would be exchanged for a granite monument which had been purchased
by advocates for the developmentally disabled.
"Developmentally disabled people routinely say 'yes' to authority figures," said
Craig Sevara, the advocacy specialist for the Arc of the Pikes Peak Region during the
unveiling of the new monument.
"They are extremely vulnerable to abuse and exploitation."
The new monument reads: "Here lies an innocent man."
In 2011, Arridy was granted a full and unconditional posthumous pardon.
An overwhelming body of evidence indicated that he was innocent, including a coerced
and false confession and the likelihood that Arridy wasn't even in Pueblo at the time
of the slaying.
"Pardoning Mr. Arridy cannot undo this tragic event in Colorado history.
It is in the interests of justice and simple decency, however, to restore his good name,"
said Gov. Bill Ritter.

Rebel Creamery - Mint Chip! | LCHF Ice Cream made FOR keto! - Duration: 8:28.
Rebel Creamery has a Mint Chip ice cream, and I'm gonna check it out right after
these green things slide in from the side and conceal my face. Hey guys!
Welcome to A.D. Keto. My name is Aaron. This is the channel where you can watch a
weird dad work his way through the ketogenic diet. I do some keto eating
vlogs, I do some keto product reviews, and I do some keto recipes. If this is
your first time here, please consider subscribing, and if you do, make sure
you're on Notification Squad by clicking the bell. All right, everybody. It is Rebel
Creamery's Mint Chip. It's the third flavor that I'm checking out from them.
They have five altogether. We're at the halfway point. I do like some mint chip. Not really my
favorite of flavors, but I like a good one. I like a GOOD mint chip. And I think
this is gonna really hit the spot for me tonight, cuz I just had a really spicy
curry dinner. So I'm excited to have a little bit of mint chip ice cream to
sort of... quell the flames. Anyway, if you've been here before, you know that I
break my ice cream reviews down into four parts. The first part I talk about
the texture. That's the most important part to me. What does it feel like coming
out of the pint? What's it feel like... wussit feel like they take a bite...
What's it feel like once I take a bite? The second part of the review is the
taste. What does it taste like, based on my expectations? Here's what I'm
thinking. Rebel Creamery has had really enjoyable, real-tasting flavors, that have
been slightly less intense than flavors from... you know, their cohorts in the low-
carb high fat ice cream... space. Space? Man, that sounds so terrible. I'm expecting mint chip, but I'm not
expecting to be blasted in the face with mint chip. If their chocolate flavor
and their vanilla flavor are anything to go by, they tend to be a little bit
more on the subtle side of things, so we'll see how that turns out. Then I
talk about the carbs. And again, rebel Creamery knows what it's doing when it
comes to carbs. They're targeting... their target market is...
me. It's people doing the ketogenic diet. So it's very low carbs. And then the
fourth part of the review is the ingredients, where I just run down the
contents, and we see what's in this thing. So let's get into it.
Take it off...already like... I like what I see there. It's... you know, got some little mint
chippies. This has been out of my freezer for about 20 minutes. Maybe a little bit
more. 20, 21, 22, 23 minutes. If I keep talking here, we can get it up to 25. But there
is what it looks like. Let's check out the texture. If I can get it exposed
properly. Someday guys, I'm gonna have a real camera, not just my phone.
Hmm. I like it.
Substantial chips. That's a pretty big chip for...you know, compared to what you
can find like... in halo top or whatever. You get these little specks. But these are
pretty decent-sized chunks of chocolate in here. Also, the flavor -- relative to how
strong their vanilla and chocolate flavors were -- I'd say this is a little
bit more intense on the mint chip, which is fine by me. Yeah. Very, very nice. And
again, you know -- you've got sort of a fatty...fatty thing going on there, which is what these guys
are all about. Okay. Let's check out our nutrition information. As always, serving
size is half a cup. So four servings per container.
The thing to watch out for with these guys -- the only thing really to keep an
eye on if you're if you're keto, and you're having this ice cream -- is the
calorie count. It is high. But that's to be expected with with this stuff. 160
calories per serving, which to my math, is 640 calories for the pint. So be very
careful. Or not. I mean, I haven't eaten a ton of food today.
I have plenty of room for this. I would love to eat this whole thing. But now I
have someone else in the house who's doing keto, and she demands half of this
pint. So it shall be. So that's the calories. Total fat 15 grams, saturated fat 8 grams,
cholesterol 65 milligrams, sodium 25 milligrams, protein 2 grams. Total
carbohydrate 11 grams, dietary fiber 3, sugar alcohol 7. That's 1 net carb per
serving, and I think they... they round up their numbers, so total carbs is probably
like 10 point something. Dietary fiber's probably like 2 point
something. But they round up, so while the decimals are not on here, it is one...
around 1.5 grams of carbs per serving, which gives us that magical number on
the front, there. 6 grams per pint. Incredible. Let's take a look at the
ingredients, here. The ingredients are cream, water,
erythritol, chocolate flakes -- and then they list the
ingredients of the chocolate flakes. They are coconut oil, cocoa, erythritol,
sunflower lecithin, salt, dutched cocoa, natural vanilla flavor, and monk fruit.
Then back to the main ingredients: chicory root fiber, egg yolks, milk
protein isolate, vegetable glycerin, natural mint flavor, Peruvian carob gum,
guar gum, and monk fruit. The end. That's it. Again, that seems like a long list, but
a lot of it was... you know, just listing the ingredients of the chips. Should I
take one more bite? I think I shall. Shocker.
Yeah, stronger in flavor than their chocolate or their vanilla. And it's
really good. Man, look at the size of these! Look at the size of these chunks of chocolate. (five-second rule.)
This table is disgusting. Oh, man. The chips are really good. I just had a
really sweet-tasting chip only. So guys, uh... 3-for-3 so far. Rebel is really
hitting it out of the park for me. At the end of this, After the next couple of
flavors that I do, I will rank their first 5 flavors. This is quite good.
Probably the best tasting mint chip I've had.
I just got a series of texts from my wife. I'm gonna screenshot these, because
they are pretty funny. Ha! She's so great. Yes, more than half of
this is going to go to my wife Sara. This is really good stuff.
Rebel Creamery so far 3-for-3, as far as I'm concerned. Guys, again, I will leave a
link in the description for Rebel's product request form. You can bring that
to your local supermarket, bring it to the customer service desk. The one thing
that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, which I didn't get to update in the
review of chocolate, is that their promotion, where if the store eventually
ends up carrying Rebel, that you could get coupons for two free pints. Austin
got in touch with me after the first review came out, and he said, "Ooh, I meant to
tell you -- we're... we're not doing that two free pints thing. It would just be a
logistical nightmare." So they have removed that page from the website, but
it would still really behoove you, I think, to print that form out and deliver
it. Even without the promise of a reward. These guys are doing things that are
very exciting. So let's do our best to get them in stores. So let me know what
you guys think of Mint Chip. I really, really enjoy it,
even though I'm not a huge mint chip guy. I'd love to hear what you have to say
about it down in the comments. That's gonna wrap it up for this review, guys. I
hope you have fantastic day, and we'll see you next
time.
you get what's what's what's what what's what's what's what what's what for what
what's what what's what's what's what what's what's what's what's what's worse
what's what's what's what's rubble rubble

Lewis Hamilton | Together We Rise · #WhatsYourDrive · EP05 - Duration: 3:19.
Hi, my name is Xin Da Ling,
I'm 9 years old and I'm from Sydney, Australia.
Hi, my name is Denzel Ling,
I'm 8 years old and I'm from Sydney, Australia.
We love how he appreciates his family more than anything.
I love Lewis because of his awesome character.
-I look up to him every single day. -He believes in his dreams.
He is never afraid to fail
which helped me a lot because I am sometimes.
Lewis tries his best even when things are up against him
and he has taught me to believe in myself and follow my dreams.
And I've recently lost two stone because of that determination.
He never gives up, despite what he's facing
or the challenges he's going through.
It doesn't matter how many times you fail.
-Still I rise. -Still I rise.
Still I rise.
It's not about winning,
it's about challenging yourself to do your best.
He inspired me to keep going again for my dreams.
I also wanted to be a professional race car driver.
Last November I found out I had breast cancer,.
Believing in your motto, "Still I rise" and I do still rise,
I have from day one the unshakable certainty
that I was cured and nothing was going to put me down.
It spoke to me at a time when I needed it the most.
My lowest point in my life, right after my brother passed away.
In that moment, I found what he was saying
and I took hold of it and it changed my life,
It saved my life.
When I'm facing a hard situation, I think about what Lewis would do
and I face everything with hard work and perseverance
and try to overcome all my challenges.
I think about how, with all that hard work and confidence
Lewis achieved his dream.
I'm world ranked 14th right now. Lewis had a lot to do with that.
It taught me that everything is really possible
if you work really hard, if you believe in it
and if you have supportive people around you.
He's made such a big impact in my life that I wanted to thank him for that.
Thank you.
You're my hero, you're my inspiration.
You make us feel proud.
With racing or having a drive, you can inspire other people.
You have bigger impact than you can ever imagine.
One day I would like to be able to drive a Formula One car like Lewis
-and to win at Silverstone. -Wow.
I've work very hard on my physio with the therapist
so one day my dream can come true.
Thank you for inspiring me and keep up the good work, Lewis.
Love, Riley.
Wow, shoot!
I love you too.

The happiest man ever to be on death row - Joe Arridy Documentary - Duration: 5:11.
Joe Arridy, 23, who had an I.Q. of 46 and behaved more like a child than an adult, confessed
to the 1936 r@pe and ax murdær of 15-year-old Dorothy Drain in Pueblo, Colorado.
On the 16th of August, 1936, Riley Drain – a Works Project Administration foreman – and
his wife, Peggy, left their home at around 10 PM to go dancing.
When they returned that night, they heard moans coming from the bedroom upstairs.
They rushed upstairs to find Dorothy dying and her 12-year-old sister, Barbara, critically
injured.
Both had been attacked with an ax and Dorothy had been raped.
Miraculously, Barbara survived.
Arridy had spent most of his life at the Colorado State Home and Training School for Mental
Defectives; he couldn't even count to five or tell the difference between red and blue.
He was picked up by police after wandering around rail yards in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and

During the trial, Aguilar claimed that it was Arridy who killed Dorothy even though

Arsenal news : Why Lacazette AND Aubameyang don't start together | AFC News - Duration: 2:01.
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang don't start together for Arsenal because
it would leave the Gunners outnumbered in midfield.
That's the view of former Premier League star Jamie Redknapp, who has revealed why
he believes Unai Emery is facing a dilemma.
Aubameyang started Arsenal's latest game against West Ham, with Lacazette coming on
at half-time.
After a shaky first half, the introduction of the Frenchman helped Arsenal to a come-from-behind
3-1 victory.
Emery, who took over from Arsene Wenger in the summer, seems reluctant to play both forwards
in the same line-up despite the pair regularly starting together in pre-season.
And Redknapp believes it's because it would leave the north London side short in midfield,
especially against the top six sides.
"Their pace and power would strike fear into plenty of Premier League defences, particularly
those outside the top six," Redknapp wrote in his Daily Mail column.
"Emery has to find a way to get them both into the team.
Saturday's victory against West Ham showed him why he must do so.
"Emery's philosophy is to play out from the back.
To do so he needs bodies in midfield, particularly against their top six rivals.
"However when Arsenal are facing lesser opposition — especially at the Emirates
— they will be far more effective if they deploy their powerhouse strike partnership."
Aubameyang and Lacazette may get the chance to start alongside each other when Emery takes
his Arsenal side to Cardiff on Sunday (1.30pm).

Congress Just Did What Trump Couldn't – Jeff Sessions Is DONE
GOP lawmakers have had enough of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' nonsense, so they
are finally taking action against him.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) and his fellow
GOP Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) are giving Sessions' Department of Justice seven days to turn over
the documents that they owe to Congress.
Jordan announced on Wednesday afternoon that he is teaming Meadows to introduce a resolution
that would give the DOJ one week to comply.
"Mark Meadows and I are introducing a resolution that would give the DOJ seven days to turn
over the documents that they owe Congress.
We need to vote on this immediately," Jordan announced on Twitter.
Jordan then called out Sessions' Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
"Rod Rosenstein threatened congressional staff.
When the bully picks on your little brother, you have to respond.
It's time for House Leadership to stand up," Jordan tweeted.
This will also send a brutal message to Sessions, who has defended Rosenstein by saying that
he does not believe he actually threatened staffers.
On Tuesday night, after hearing that Sessions defended his deputy attorney general, Meadows
said that he is "confident" Sessions didn't know "what he was talking about."
"We're fed up with it," Meadows said.
Republicans have clearly had enough of Sessions, and with even President Donald Trump turning
against him, it seems like his days in the Department of Justice may be numbered!

What is imposter syndrome and how can you combat it? - Elizabeth Cox - Duration: 4:19.
Even after writing eleven books and winning several prestigious awards,
Maya Angelou couldn't escape the nagging doubt
that she hadn't really earned her accomplishments.
Albert Einstein experienced something similar:
he described himself as an "involuntary swindler"
whose work didn't deserve as much attention as it had received.
Accomplishments at the level of Angelou's or Einstein's are rare,
but their feeling of fraudulence is extremely common.
Why can't so many of us shake feelings
that we haven't earned our accomplishments,
or that our ideas and skills aren't worthy of others' attention?
Psychologist Pauline Rose Clance was the first to study
this unwarranted sense of insecurity.
In her work as a therapist,
she noticed many of her undergraduate patients shared a concern:
though they had high grades,
they didn't believe they deserved their spots at the university.
Some even believed their acceptance had been an admissions error.
While Clance knew these fears were unfounded,
she could also remember feeling the exact same way in graduate school.
She and her patients experienced something that goes by a number of names--
imposter phenomenon,
imposter experience,
and imposter syndrome.
Together with colleague Suzanne Imes,
Clance first studied imposterism in female college students and faculty.
Their work established pervasive feelings of fraudulence in this group.
Since that first study,
the same thing has been established across gender,
race,
age,
and a huge range of occupations,
though it may be more prevalent and disproportionately affect
the experiences of underrepresented or disadvantaged groups.
To call it a syndrome is to downplay how universal it is.
It's not a disease or an abnormality,
and it isn't necessarily tied to depression,
anxiety,
or self-esteem.
Where do these feelings of fraudulence come from?
People who are highly skilled or accomplished
tend to think others are just as skilled.
This can spiral into feelings that they don't deserve accolades
and opportunities over other people.
And as Angelou and Einstein experienced,
there's often no threshold of accomplishment
that puts these feelings to rest.
Feelings of imposterism aren't restricted to highly skilled individuals, either.
Everyone is susceptible to a phenomenon known as pluralistic ignorance,
where we each doubt ourselves privately,
but believe we're alone in thinking that way
because no one else voices their doubts.
Since it's tough to really know how hard our peers work,
how difficult they find certain tasks,
or how much they doubt themselves,
there's no easy way to dismiss feelings that we're less capable
than the people around us.
Intense feelings of imposterism
can prevent people from sharing their great ideas
or applying for jobs and programs where they'd excel.
At least so far,
the most surefire way to combat imposter syndrome
is to talk about it.
Many people suffering from imposter syndrome
are afraid that if they ask about their performance,
their fears will be confirmed.
And even when they receive positive feedback,
it often fails to ease feelings of fraudulence.
But on the other hand,
hearing that an advisor or mentor has experienced feelings of imposterism
can help relieve those feelings.
The same goes for peers.
Even simply finding out there's a term for these feelings
can be an incredible relief.
Once you're aware of the phenomenon,
you can combat your own imposter syndrome
by collecting and revisiting positive feedback.
One scientist who kept blaming herself for problems in her lab
started to document the causes every time something went wrong.
Eventually, she realized most of the problems
came from equipment failure,
and came to recognize her own competence.
We may never be able to banish these feelings entirely,
but we can have open conversations about academic or professional challenges.
With increasing awareness of how common these experiences are,
perhaps we can feel freer to be frank about our feelings
and build confidence in some simple truths:
you have talent,
you are capable,
and you belong.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING AND CHATTERING)
GIANNA TOBONI: Hi, Kai! How you doin'?
-Good. -GIANNA: Good to see you.
-Can I have a hug? -Yeah.
-GIANNA: How's everything? -KAI SHAPPLEY: Good.
GIANNA: Kai is now seven years old,
and living in Pearland, Texas with her younger brother
and her mom, Kimberly.
KIMBERLY SHAPPLEY: What jacket do you want?
You want your coat that Uncle David made?
KAI: Uh-huh.
♪ ...in the fall ♪
♪ Momma sewed the rags together Sewin' every piece with love ♪
♪ She made my Coat of many colors ♪
♪ That I was so proud of ♪
GIANNA: So, tell me about the sweater you're wearing.
-GIANNA: You like Dolly Parton? -Mm-hmm.
GIANNA: (LAUGHS) Why? Do you listen to her too much?
Uh...
GIANNA: You want to grow up to be like them?
Momma says I might grow up to be the President.
-GIANNA: Yeah? -Mm-hmm.
GIANNA: What would you change about the world
if you were President?
Um... Let trans people be free
and go to the bathroom they want to go to.
GIANNA: Are you able to use the girls bathroom at school?
No, and now they just put security guards up
for the bathroom security or whatever.
GIANNA: Kai, I can tell you're getting a little emotional.
What's making you sad?
I don't know.
GIANNA: Is it sometimes hard to be brave?
It's very hard. Sometimes it's very hard.
GIANNA: Kai is obviously a tough cookie.
But how was she affected by the staff removing her
from the girls bathroom?
This has been even more challenging
than her kindergarten year was.
She comes home crying a little bit more often.
You know, she told me that she was going to use
the girls bathroom, and I told her that
whatever she decided was the right thing to do,
that she could do it
and that she would definitely not get in trouble at home
if she got in trouble at school.
She's just not backing down.
KIMBERLY: Don't kick that, okay?
Kick. (GIGGLES)
KIMBERLY: Her challenges this year
are different, of course.
Her desk at school had her birth name on it.
KIMBERLY: She's constantly being outed
and constantly, she has to reexplain.
How have discussions with the school board
evolved over the last year since we were here?
KIMBERLY: When the first episode with you guys aired,
it showed the superintendent got up and walked out
while I was speaking and didn't return
until I was finishing.
A high school senior at Pearland ISD saw that segment
and encouraged him to run for school board and he won.
An 18-year old just pulled off an upset win
to get a seat on the Pearland school board.
GIANNA: Looking ahead to future elections,
Mike Floyd is now organizing more like-minded candidates
to run on a platform
for a more inclusive school district.
MIKE FLOYD: This board has not just discriminated
against trans kids but they've
gone after Muslim kids.
-We saw that very recently. -Mm-hmm.
They've gone after African-American kids,
we saw that as well, so...
It's really time to flip this board.
We have a lot of different pieces
of the community represented.
Pearland is ground zero for the bathroom bill,
that kind of thing,
a lot of that emanates from here.
-We need to come together. -MAN: Okay.
And vote together.
GIANNA: But until voters elect a more inclusive board,
Pearland is ultimately losing a family in its community.
SCOTT FEULESS: As you may know,
Kimberly Shappley has found a new job
and is moving her family to a school district
that will put the needs of her children
before the politics of religious extremism.
We have taken a brilliant, friendly,
and completely harmless little girl
and driven her and her family from our city.
You are on the wrong side of history on this,
and you are embarrassing our city.
There are many other transgender students in Pearland ISD,
some that you know about and some that you don't.
This issue is not going away. Thank you.
GIANNA: So how have the last few days been?
KIMBERLY: Lots of emotions.
I feel like we're in a position now where,
you know, it's just not safe.
This is my child, like, I have to look at her at night
and say, "Please Lord, protect her."
Like, she's in the highest, most likely rate
to be murdered in a hate crime in our country.
She's in the highest risk group
for committing suicide in our country.
She's not at higher risk because she's trans.
She's at higher risk because we're allowing
this bigotry and prejudice to continue.
This trend is spreading across Texas,
where both local and statewide elections
have become a battleground for LGBTQ protections.
Last year, Texas, home to the second largest
transgender population in the country,
introduced more anti-LGBTQ bills than any other state.
We spoke to the former mayor of Houston, who in 2015
experienced firsthand the powerful backlash
against trans protections.
GIANNA: When you were mayor of Houston,
you attempted to pass
an anti-discrimination ordinance.
What happened there?
I worked with the LGBT community and others to bring forward
a comprehensive non-discrimination ordinance.
But unlike every other major city in America,
we were writing an ordinance from scratch.
Houston had no non-discrimination ordinance
that protected anybody.
This was about providing protections for all Houstonians,
and all the opposition was directed strictly
at the transgender community.
FEMALE NARRATOR: Any man at any time
could enter a woman's bathroom
simply by claiming to be a woman that day.
Even registered sex offenders could follow women
or young girls into the bathroom.
Protect women's privacy.
Vote no on the Proposition 1 bathroom ordinance.
They had started a steady drumbeat
of "This is about predators
attacking our women and our children."
And the voices got louder and louder...
And so, when it came time to be on the ballot,
that just erupted in this spew of puss
across the community.
I don't want men going in the restroom with women. Period.
NEWS ANCHOR: Voters overwhelmingly rejected HERO,
61 to 39 percent.
GIANNA: In the fall of 2015, the people of Houston voted
on whether they were in favor of HERO,
which prohibits discrimination based on 15 characteristics,
including sex, race, sexual orientation,
and gender identity.
The sick homophobic right was empowered by the win
in Houston, and they use it to spread the infection
in other places.
GIANNA: In the years since, this rhetoric has become
the playbook for anti-trans bills across the country.
To find out what it's like to live without
local protections, we spoke to Dana,
who came out as a transwoman in her workplace in 2015.
GIANNA: How long have you been taking the bus?
I've been riding the bus more or less regularly
since February of 2017.
Do people give you weird looks?
-Sometimes. -Yeah.
I don't exactly pass for... a biological female.
GIANNA: For more than 40 years, Dana was known at work
as Woody, a successful, well-paid technician
for engineering and construction companies.
Who were you before you were Dana?
That's hard to answer,
because I really don't know who I was.
GIANNA: I don't know the best way to say it,
but, like, this person is like a guy's guy,
carrying a big gun, wearing camo.
I lived most of my life trying to be
what people expected me to be.
I was a six-foot-two, two-hundred pound,
outside linebacker.
And so, yes, I was "guy-guy."
Have you ever been discriminated against for being a transwoman?
I am recovering from a stroke. I have had my car re-possessed.
I have almost no money, I live on social security,
and I can trace that back to one decision.
I-- I-- I came out at work.
The chief operating officer, the head of human resources,
they said, "We're gonna meet with the principal partners,
and they're gonna decide whether you can come out or not."
And what did they decide?
Five said okay, two said no.
GIANNA: Dana claims that some members of her team
weren't comfortable with her transition,
and that that's the main reason she was fired
the following year.
And I admit it, it was my fault. I-- I blew a deadline.
But that was like I gave them an excuse.
GIANNA: Dana's former employer said they couldn't comment
because of privacy concerns, except that the recollection
of events was different.
If I hadn't come out, I'd still be there.
And I'd still have a car,
and I'd still have my medication,
I would never have had a stroke,
and we wouldn't be having this conversation,
because my story really wouldn't be all that interesting.
How would your life be different
if the HERO ordinance was law in Houston today?
The whole point behind
the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance
was there was a city agency to which you could file
your complaint, and they would investigate.
I went from being on the top rung
of the privilege ladder to being one from the bottom.
The only person below me in the privilege ladder
is a transwoman of color.
GIANNA: We're in Dallas,
at the biggest black trans conference in the country
to talk to people in this community
about what they're dealing with day-to-day,
which in many cases are issues that go way beyond
the bathroom debate.
GIANNA: Long-time trans rights advocate
Monica Roberts, talked about their recent fight
against SB6, a state bill that would have required people
to use the bathroom that matches the gender
on their birth certificate.
We beat back SB6 twice.
We're tired of the debate being about bathrooms, period.
We're wanting employment,
we're wanting the discrimination to stop.
We're wanting the murders of black trans people to stop.
GIANNA: In 2017, a reported 28 trans people were killed,
most of them were trans women of color.
So far this year,
that death toll is already up to 16.
Dee Dee Watters organizes vigils to raise awareness
about anti-trans violence.
You hosted the first day of remembrance
for the transgender community in Texas.
Why did you start that day?
My goal was to make sure people understood the sadness
that was needed. And know that, you know what,
yes, there is a possibility I could be murdered
because I'm trans. Yes, there is that possibility.
But at the end of the day, before I am murdered,
those that were murdered before me,
I want to make sure that they have a voice still.
Do you know anybody who's been killed for being trans?
Mm-hmm. I know multiple people
that have been killed for being trans.
And a prime example would have been
one of my really good friends, which was NeNe.
DEE DEE WATTERS: Back here is where NeNe was murdered,
inside the fence behind the dumpster.
She was shot in the head.
That's pretty much all that we knew.
GIANNA: Police publicly identified NeNe using her birth name,
and described her as "A man who dressed and lived as a woman."
Court documents later revealed that the perpetrator
murdered NeNe after discovering that she was trans.
What is the life expectancy for a transwoman for color?
(SCOFFS) The average life expectancy
(SCOFFS) for a transwoman of color
is anywhere in between around about 30 and 35.
GIANNA: While there are no official estimates,
that's the average age range for transwomen of color
who are killed.
-How old are you? Wow. -I'm 32.
And every single day, I have to worry about
whether or not I'm going to make it to see the next day.
Up until the day that laws are changed,
people are always gonna kill trans people and feel like
they can get away with it because it's being justified.
GIANNA: One of the most critical areas
where the trans community struggles to find allies
is in law enforcement.
When Brandi Seals was murdered last year,
Houston Police Department was criticized
for misgendering her and for mishandling the case.
The fact that we've got a young man
who's clothed in women's clothing,
the speculation is that he's out here
walking the street.
POLICE OFFICER: Attention!
GIANNA: Houston's police department is attempting to fix
this problem with a new sensitivity training
for their officers and cadets.
At the Montrose Center, a local LGBTQ organization,
community organizer, Kennedy Loftin,
teaches them Transgender 101.
The queer community has a very interesting history with HPD.
We had a cross-dressing ordinance,
and that was a way our transgender community
was criminalized.
The highest criminalized population by percentage
is transgender women of color.
KENNEDY LOFTIN: LGBTQ institutions like the Montrose Center,
are kind of tucked back,
kind of hidden away, in neighborhoods.
The reason why is because of a history of bombings
and other issues.
Do you feel any differently about the bathroom bills
than you did before the presentation?
As a police officer, we can't have personal opinions,
let's just say, because we have to do
whatever policy and general order is.
Like I said, I've never had a problem
with transgender people, but I can see how some people
would have a problem with it, and some people die.
GIANNA: While the Houston Police Department
is taking a pragmatic approach to law enforcement,
lawmakers nationwide put forth 115 anti-LGBTQ bills this year,
that's on top of the 129 bills introduced last year.
And as we approach the midterms,
some candidates are adopting the identical rhetoric
that was used to take down the HERO ordinance.
But this year, the other side has a fierce response.
LGBTQ candidates are running for office in record numbers.
More than 50 candidates threw their hat in the ring
in Texas alone.
What happens in November will have a dramatic effect
on the lives of trans people across the country.
We've been filming
with a seven-year-old transgender girl prevented
from using the girls' bathroom at her school.
Do you think she'll face discrimination
-when she grows older? -Absolutely.
I grew up in a time, where even though segregation
was not legal, it was still happening.
The kids are the most vulnerable ones,
and when you make a kid-- you can't go into that restroom,
you gotta go to this one way over here,
and you're the only one that goes there,
you're putting a brand on them that says, "Other, different."
GIANNA: So how are you gonna decorate your room?
Petals. Tiaras. Um, roses. Um, my beautiful bed.
Mommy said it might be king size or queen.
Kai. I have something for you.
Yeah! My new birth certificate.
I don't know what the heck that is.
Check it out. What does that say?
-I'm a female. -It says you're a female.
What do you think about that?
♪ (CHEERY MUSIC PLAYS) ♪
GIANNA: By filing a petition in court,
Kimberly was able to get Kai a new birth certificate,
officially changing both her gender and her name,
marking a new day for their family to celebrate.
Happy Name Change!
(CHUCKLES)
The fifth birthday, we went to a Chuck E. Cheese,
I searched all over Target,
and the only boy thing was the wizard outfit,
so, I got the wizard outfit and he goes,
"I wanna give you a hug because you bought me my first dress."
So, ever since then,
I'm not-- I'm not gonna buy her anything else
that is even considered a boy toy.
GIANNA: Some of Kimberly's family has slowly
come around to accepting Kai,
even though they sometimes find themselves
on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
-Did you vote for Trump? -DAVID COOKE: Yes, I voted for Trump.
There's no way in God's green Earth
I would've voted for Hillary Clinton,
but when it gets down towards...
you know, gay rights and all that stuff,
yes, I think Kai should...
She has every right that everybody else does.
And it is right now, to me, in the Constitution.
GIANNA: As the trans community holds out hope
for federal support,
Kai is enjoying a new school with a new bathroom policy.
How is this school different from your old school?
Well, here it treats me better,
it lets me use the girls bathroom.
They actually make everything that says my name,
"Esther Kai Shappley" 'cause I changed my birth certificate.
GIANNA: How does that make you feel?
KAI: Happy!
Kai is just a kid here.
Even people knowing that she's transgender
doesn't make a difference.
I'd rather her just to enjoy the privilege
of living in a land where she's just a person
with basic human rights.

11 Powerful Tricks To Approaching Girls (Do This) - Duration: 8:16.
Gentlemen, today we're showing you the 11 most effective ways... to approach a girl.
Everybody knows that guy.
The guy who talks a big game about which girls he wants, and which girls want him...
Except when it comes time to actually talk to girls, he shuts down.
Well guys, We don't want you to be that guy.
We don't want you to be all talk, and no action.
And we don't want you to be wishing you had talked to that girl who you swear was
into you.
That's why we're gonna show you how to set up the perfect approach, and execute it
to a tee.
And just to make sure nothing goes wrong at the last minute,
We're also sharing the #1 thing you can do that will make ANY girl lose interest...and
bounce real quick.
Now let's jump in.
11. Don't Approach at All
' the heck?
Swear you didn't just tell us in a video about how to approach girls, to NOT approach.
Well it's true.
If you really want to learn how to approach girls, the first thing you've gotta do...
is pause and set the stage.
This is a technique we call, The "anti-approach."
In other words, hang back and warm up the room before jumping in.
Now you might be thinking, "Mantelligence, That just sounds like an excuse to not have
to talk to girls.
But you'd be wrong.
Because here's what's going to happen: If you just go out trigger happy, ready to
approach as many girls as you can, And indiscriminately rely on sheer volume
to get by, all that's going to happen is you end up
with a high contact rate, but low success.
Sure you'll have talked to a bunch of girls, But did any of those conversations go anywhere?
What anti-approaching does is act as a kind of filter ...
That gives you a chance to assess and lets you know who's worth your time.
10. Own Your Expectations
Here's how most guys shoot themselves in
the foot when preparing for the approach: Of course they want to talk to girls, but
they're not always feeling like it's the right time.
Couple that with the fact that they're also feeling some peer pressure and what do you get?
A classic case of performance anxiety.
If you're like most guys, you've felt the terror of approach anxiety.
But did you ever stop to think why you get approach anxiety in the first place?
For lots of guys, it's the fear of rejection.
I mean, let's face it…
Rejection stings.
So what should you do?
Don't let anyone else set expectations for you.
By managing your own expectations, You neutralize the effects of rejection and
allow yourself to think clearly about how to make your approach.
9. Judge the Cover
Alright, now it's time to pull the trigger.
First step?
Know what you're up against.
When you're at the grocery store and it's time to pick out your produce,
Do you ever grab fruits or vegetables without checking the quality first?
You check, don't you?
You don't want your apples to have any bruises, unusual holes, or mold growing on them, right?
Of course not.
So why would you want a girl with those things?
Sometimes the best way to approach a girl is to take a good look at her from a distance
and make some judgements first.
Ask yourself if she looks like the type of girl you want to get to know in the first
place.
Is she having a good time or does she seem standoffish?
Observe her (but don't be creepy about it) and you'll learn a lot without ever having
to say a word.
8. The Female Co-Pilot
Sure, going to bars alone is easy if you're
the type of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone,
But let's face it: We're not all social butterflies...
Which is why we've told you before how important it is to have a wingman.
But think about it…
How much better of a wingman would your friend be...
If he... was a girl?
Because who knows the MOST about girls?
Other girls.
Instead of bringing your male buddy with you to help you get girls...
Bring a female friend!
Having a bro by your side is good...
But having a girl to back you up is even better.
Why?
A wing girl is the ultimate social proof.
A wing girl will either make you look unavailable, and in demand,
Or more importantly, other girls will see that you're at least sorta normal...
Since there's evidence that at least one woman doesn't mind hanging out with you.
7. Tread The Friend Zone
We'll admit it: This may be a risky maneuver
for some guys out there.
But no risk, no reward, right?
Here's how you tread the friend zone without being fake, creepy… or too nice.
All you've got to do...
Is treat her (and everyone, really) as a person whom you don't want anything from.
Sounds easy, until you realize that most guys really struggle
with this when talking to girls.
Basically, be friendly, but don't go all in on the friendly behavior:
Smile, eye contact, light touching, engaged body language...you know the drill.
She'll like that you're warm but not too intense, and be way more likely to talk to you.
6. Count Down From 3
Everyone is afraid of something.
Spiders, the dark, and approaching women are just a few examples.
And one of the best methods of dealing with fear (especially when approaching women)...
Is by counting "3…
2…
1…" and approaching.
Convince yourself there's no other option.
Because the truth is, There isn't.
For guys who count down, but don't act on it,
This handy, psychological trick actually has the opposite effect ...
And reinforces bad behavior which makes approaching even harder.
Hey!
If you like what you're hearing, keep watching.
Because we've got 5 more ways to make approaching so much easier
And the #1 thing that could prevent you from talking to girls for a long time.
Alright.
Let's get back to it.
5. The Goddess of Victory
Have you ever heard of the Greek Goddess,
Nike?
She made her own clothing brand (or something like that)
And the slogan for that brand is something along the lines of: "Don't think.
Do."
In our last method, you had 3 seconds to second guess yourself before approaching a girl.
In this one, you have zero.
Here's how it works...
Step 1: Walk into a room and see a pretty girl you'd like to meet.
Step 2: Turn your feet in her direction.
Don't stop walking.
Step 3: Reach her and start a conversation.
When you don't give yourself time to think about how things could go wrong…
You figure out pretty quickly that you had nothing to worry about in the first place.
Master this trick?
You'll be making big league approaches every time you leave the house.
4. Back To Basics
Eye contact is the world's most ancient
method of starting a conversation with a girl.
It's what started it all.
The reason you're here today is because your ancestors at the very least...
Didn't make completely poor eye contact with the ladies.
That's just like, basic anthropology.
So in case you forgot, here are the eye contact basics for the approach:
When you make eye contact with her, look inquisitive, like you can't seem to figure her out.
It'll make her wonder why you're looking at her that way.
That's when you walk up to her and tell her she looks familiar (or something similar)
But for that real next level do this: When you make eye contact, guide her attention
to something funny or unusual in the room.
You'll share a mini moment together and if she seems receptive (i.e. she's laughing),
It's usually a sign you can approach immediately...
Or wait a few minutes if you want…
It'll keep her on her toes.
Looking for some other ways to capture her interest?
Check out this video we did right here.
3. Don't Be Lame
What is one of the most important things YOU
look for in a girl?
Sure, attractiveness is a given, but just because a girl is pretty, does that mean she's
enjoyable to be around?
Not necessarily.
And the same rule applies to guys.
It doesn't matter how handsome you are...
If you're not fun to be around, who's going to want to spend time with you?
So one of our favorite methods of approaching girls is to be the life of the party
And spread those fun guy vibes everywhere you go.
2. The Question Master
Where are you from?
What do you do?
How many kids do you want?
Heads up: That's not a conversation.
That's an interview.
A conversation is a give and take.
You ask a question, she shares an answer.
Then you share your own experiences in relation to the question.
But it doesn't have to stop there.
When approaching a girl, try out a word game like "Would You Rather?"
Here's an example: Would you rather be chased by the Mafia or by the FBI?
Tough choice, huh?
That's why it's fun.
Don't forget Truth or Dare either.
That's always a good one.
And that's the thing...
Games like these help you weed out the boring girls and, as an added bonus...
Meeting girls becomes less intimidating, and more hilarious and full of surprises.
1. Be a Scientist
If there's one thing to keep in mind while
trying these out, It's that not every method is going to work
for every guy.
So be a scientist and experiment!
If you find a method of approaching girls that works for you, try it with other girls.
And don't forget to keep it flirty and casual on occasion.
Not EVERY girl is meant to be your soulmate.
Remember: Meeting girls (and learning how to talk to them) is a skill just like anything
else.
And the more you practice, the more natural it feels, which translates directly into confidence.
Not to mention, it hurts a little less when you get rejected.
Which can happen if you...
Guys who can walk up and talk to any girl all have one VERY important trait in common...
Confidence.
But what you may not realize is that most guys faked that confidence until they actually
became confident.
This process can take years, but they were scientists and honed their approach until
it became natural.
And before it became natural…
It was AWKWARD...
And that's exactly how you SHOULDN'T approach girls…
Without a plan or a personality.
Because that's just awkward for everyone.
So what do you do?
Just remember that not everything has to work, But you should try to have a reason behind
every method you try with girls.
We guarantee that with a little practice, Confidence will come naturally and you'll
start thinking well past the approach..
That's it for today guys.
Hopefully these tips make approach anxiety a thing of the past.

Stossel: These Students Know More Than Politicians - Duration: 4:08.
Are you smarter than a politician?
Anybody?
The answer is yes if you were among the
millions of students who,
thanks to the charity run by this high school teacher,
get to watch my videos in class.
It should only take you a couple of minutes.
Actually, not all the videos are mine but
the charity's called Stossel In The Classroom
because I offer free videos to
any teacher who wants video teaching aids
for courses in economics, government,
critical thinking, and current events.
Watching and discussing the videos gives
kids new perspective on things.
But the people that accept welfare, over time
they lose the incentive to work.
Every year we hold an essay contest.
Winners get money plus a free trip for them
and their teacher to visit us here
in New York City.
This year's contest invited students to
write about price gouging,
a practice hated by the media and most politicians.
Jeff Sessions and the President of the United States
will not tolerate gouging.
Gouging becomes an issue every hurricane season,
because after storms, some merchants
raise prices.
They're taking advantage of us.
That leads politicians to pass laws that say:
During a state of emergency,
you cannot substantially raise prices
whether it's a hotel room, fuel,
commodities such as water, generators,
you cannot raise prices substantially
and that's what these bad people are doing.
Fortunately, our students get to hear a
Nobel Prize winning economist
give the other side of the argument.
The gougers deserve a medal.
The gougers are heroes,
said Milton Friedman
because they take risks to bring in goods
that people desperately need.
After Hurricane Katrina,
one so-called gouger was John Shepperson.
Watching news reports about Katrina,
he learned that people desperately needed things.
My wife just got out of the hospital.
She's very sick, and we need a generator.
So John bought 19 generators,
put them in a rented U-Haul,
and drove it 600 miles to
part of Mississippi which had no
electricity.
Five million people in this region are without power.
John offered to sell his generators
for twice what he paid for them.
People were eager to buy.
People were excited. We had a product they needed.
But Mississippi police wouldn't let John sell them.
They called that price gouging.
Instead, they confiscated his generators
and locked John up in this jail.
So did the public benefit?
No.
What do we need? Come on guys.
Generators, water, food.
Somebody needs to bring these products
to people
when there are disasters and emergencies,
and this is gonna be one person
that's not going to be there that
they took out of the equation.
Students who entered our video essay contest
expanded on that point.
In modern day, you see countries like Venezuela
suffer from the fact that their
governments continue to place price controls
on all items.
17 year-old Annelise Kofod
of Raleigh, North Carolina submitted this video
and won our high school award.
34 the 50 US states have laws against price gouging.
As I did more and more research,
I was like, okay maybe price gouging
isn't such a bad thing.
Erika Lewis of Towson University won the
college-level category.
Sellers are able to earn more profit and buyers are
capable of getting the supplies they desperately need.
Actually the price gougers are the moral ones.
17 year old Maggie Hroncich of Grove City,
Pennsylvania
won her high school essay contest.
If you just look at the economics,
the most people are helped
if you keep the government out of it.
When people hear price gouging,
they think, oh gouging
this awful thing that you'd think of,
but it really is kind of just another name
for supply and demand.
Wisdom from students helped to look at
all sides of the issue
by teachers who use our videos.
Next year's essay contest will be announced soon.

The Hermann's Tortoise Is The Most Low-Maintenance Pet | Scaled - Duration: 1:07.
- This is a Hermann's tortoise.
(mellow funky music)
These guys'll make a great first time pet,
provided the commitment is taken under consideration,
'cause they live for a long time.
So, these guys can live 30 plus years in captivity.
They're very docile, as you can see,
not very quick moving, very small.
This is full-grown.
So they don't tend to get anywhere over, eight inches long
is pretty much the max size for these guys.
'Cause alotta tortoises get very large,
where as these guys stay nice and small.
Very non-aggressive, as you can see,
not known to be very bitey.
But what set these guys apart from turtles
is that these guys are vegetarian.
So turtles need a protein component,
typically animal protein.
These guys get everything they need
from the vegetation they eat.
So, you wanna pay particular attention with these guys,
because their nails and beaks are constantly growing,
is in their habitats, you wanna keep
some rough surfaces to help keep that stuff worn down,
as well as in their diets, some kind
of rougher textured food items, as well.
These guys are kinda like the cow of the reptile world.
They just kinda roam around their habitat
and graze all day long.
All in all, just very cool little pets.

Harvey Geeks Meet Energy Efficient Windows - Duration: 1:38.
You know, the energy efficiency of Harvey windows is truly quite remarkable.
It enables a reduction of overall heat transferance and allowing for more optimal temperature regulation
regardless of season!
The way I think of it.
Harvey windows are a security guard for the elements.
They let the good stuff in while keeping the bad stuff out.
You're making a metaphor.
Yeah, you don't need a PhD to use a metaphor.
For example saving money is a good thing like a security guard Harvey windows protect your wallet with their durability.
Light is also a good thing.
Harvey windows lend a ton of natural light in while also conserving energy.
Now... drafts and water leaks are bad things.
And to keep those out, Harvey engineers and tests their windows right here in their own lab to seal tight year after year.
Natural light is quite wonderful
You could use it to demonstrate the effects of a prism or to try your hand at hydroponics or to...
Or to see things.
Yes, also to...
Very funny.
But, clearly it is nothing like a guard.
Harvey mitigates energy transfer by incorporating the most advanced glass technologies,
inert gases, superior spacer system, and more to exceed energy star performance criteria.
That would make it one remarkably sophisticated and intelligent security guard.
Okay, so more like a private bodyguard then.
Ooh, a secret agent!
I'm done with this conversation.

From Soft to Sculpted to Stylized Light: OnSet ep.183 - Duration: 9:35.
Hey this is Daniel, I'm here in my studio
in New York City with Gavin Hoey, oh and
Mark Wallace.
These guys came to visit
for Adorama inspire, a great event that
went on in New York City here in June or
May we're not really sure.
June we'll say.. so we decided to do a
shoot together.
We're all going to make some
quick portraits of Sharinna
showing some little different techniques.
I get to go first, so if you guys can go
in the lounge and have drinks and stuff
while I take care of business.
So here I am
I've got Serena right, and we want to do
like a nice kind of clean open bright
shot. She's got this beautiful purple
shirt ,we have a nice simple gray
background. Now I'm gonna do it with one
light, because I feel like a lot of times
people are starting out, they just have
one light. So one way to kind of maximize
your, your light source, and get the most
out of it is to kind of let it be big
and open, and spread everywhere. right?
And kind of cover the whole scene so the way
I'm going to do that is instead of using
like a softbox or something. I'm going to
just use a foam board. Here, this is about
a three foot by four foot foam board,
that I picked up, and what we're doing is
we're just bouncing the light, the
Profoto light off the board, gives it a
nice wash of light across her face, and
because of the distance, of you know, the the
foam board to her into the background.
We're going to get some light on the
background as well. It's gonna be the
only light we need for the whole shot.
We might bring a reflector in on the
shadow side if we need it, but otherwise
we're basically down to one light. I've
got my Hasselblad X1D here, with the
Profoto remote on top. I'm just going to
quickly do a meter reading here, to make
sure my lights set correctly. Steal
Gavin's meter, his ID card so we can get
across the border. All right, so here we
go all right so I'm reading a 5.6
all right so I'm read, I'm metering at
5... a little bit over 5.6. I know that
at 5.6 at 250th of a second at 100 ISO,
that none of this light from the window
is going to affect my shot, and the
reason why I'm not letting the light
from the window really affect my shot is
because I don't like the direction it's
coming from. Right? So using flash is
gonna give me control to put the light
where I want it. So first thing where I
do is a test shot, I'm tethered into
focus, here so we'll be able to look at
it right away. There we go, okay so I'm
gonna quickly, look, you know, you don't
spend a lot of time doing this, but I can
get a good idea of what my exposure is,
and everything else. That looks pretty
decent, looks a little bit dark to me, so
I'm gonna give myself a couple more
tenths of light on the controller. There
she is,
perfect thanks nice and clean, and you
can probably see in the video camera you
know there's a there's a hole. This light
coming, hitting in the back of her face .
None of the light, lights, obviously here
because only my strobe is effecting the shot.
So we'll work towards the light, slightly
at the face. I'm gonna be happy, this is a
bright open shot, so we want to do that.
You know? The mood of the shot, you
should wait the lighting, there she is...
shoot a few to make sure we got it, this
is where like the background music
plays and stuff, like it's very exciting...
and there we go. Nice.. and nice and simple
really clean shot. Mark can do something a
little bit more funky. I think so..
Let's have Sharinna change and Mark will
jump in, and we'll move onto the next
shot.
Daniel's shot was very nice and soft,
it was very nice, high key. What we want
to do though is change the contrast of
this and make it a little bit more
sculpted. So what I've done is I've just
taken this light, added a two-foot octa
box. Elevated that, and so this is going
to come at an angle to give us a little
bit more shape on Sharinna face, but we
don't want her chin to fall into a
complete shadow down there, so I'm gonna
have you hold this reflector, and that's
going to give us really nice soft light,
but because of the light fall-off behind
her, that background is gonna fall into
darkness. So the first thing I want to do
is meter this. So I'm gonna zip over here,
meter this right underneath her chin,
and that meters right at f/8. So I sort
of got lucky with that, I'll put this
down and then we'll start shooting. So
I'm gonna have you look straight at me
Sharinna, and then we'll just get a nice
tight shot. This is beautiful...
give me a little smile there, excellent,
just like that, big, big head, yeah!
There you go.. awesome, these are lovely. it
doesn't take much to really transform
your shot too, from a high key shot to a
more contrast. The low key shot, but I
think Gavin Hoey can take this and take
it one step further,
and so we're gonna go for this really
nice contrast you shot, to something
that's even more creative, so next up
there's Mr. Gavin Hoey!
So Daniel and Mark did some fantastic
setups there. I'm
gonna take Mark's setup, and modify it
ever so slightly, by adding a little bit
of styling, and the styling is gonna come
from.. there's a piece of fabric here, so
this piece of very floaty fabric is
called organza. Not just any sort of
organza, if you want to do this you're
looking for a specific type it's
two-tone. Anything that is something and
black, because we're gonna get some color.
In this case with a silver and black, and
where we have the black, will see through
the fabric, and where we have the silver,
will get the colour reflected. Now for
this to work, we're gonna get Sharinna to
put the fabric over her head, and then
she's gonna do a little bit of modeling
work. She's gonna move around
underneath the fabric I'm gonna use Mark's lighting
set up with a slight modification. I've
raised the light ever so slightly higher,
about six inches higher, and because I've
moved the light. I need to re meter the
light. So let's just get our flash meter,
and there you go, meter reading. I'm gonna pop
this underneath your chin, and I've lost
a little bit of light. Not too much, let's
just pop the power up. Okay, and try that,
again, and I'm back to f/8. So I'm gonna
shoot to f/8 two hundred and fiftieth of
a second. I'm on ISO 200 because I'm
using an Olympus camera, okay Sharinna you
ready? Okay, let's pop that over your head.
Okay, and let's see how this goes, ready.
I'll do a test shot first, so we're off
already. Okay, that's cool
and Sharinna literally just gets to move
around now. There's no magic to this,
there's no science behind this,
this is.. shoot away, this is tell your
model that they are doing amazing, and
Sharinna, no you are doing absolutely
incredible. I am NOT no, that absolutely,
You'll know if it's not working, I will
be silent because if I'm not talking,
then I'm thinking oh goodness this isn't
working. If I'm talking, that means it's
going great, so you're good, doing
absolutely brilliant, fantastic. So with
these sorts of shots, when you're adding
a styling that's a little bit random. A little bit
dangerous, because you're not
going to be guaranteed a perfect shot every
single time, here's what you're
gonna do. You're gonna take some wide
shots, because wide can look really good.
But don't forget to go in close either,
cropping in, or even better move your
feet. Go in closer, and you'll get a whole
look and feel that's completely
different. Okay, let's just take some shots.
I'm gonna come in for some closer shots,
that's great,
a little bit of focusing, but we've got
it. Move now, this, okay so we're gonna do
a little bit, so I want you to throw it
up in the air. Let's have a little bit of
a it floating down, okay, you ready?
Excellent, that's fantastic,
Okay, that's good. We're do with one
last one, give it a really good throw up
in the air, and let it just float down
all around. Do the best we can,
it's kind of warm in her... isn't it? Okay
that's fantastic...
perfect ..good stuff, so this works really
well, but if you've got a couple of
friends who can help you out, well they
can make a big difference to the shots, so
wouldn't it be fortunate if I have two
great photographers here to help whoa
look at that...? How fortunate is that? So
these guys are going to get either end
of the fabric Sharinna's gonna be
underneath, this means that she can
actually do a little bit more with her
hands without having to support the
fabric, and what these guys are gonna do.
You're going to give it a good shake
either side... okay that's it you're just
going to do that a little bit lower down,
a little bit lower down, down with your
arms, there you go that's fantastic!
And the more movement you guys can do
the better, and Sharinna can move
underneath. Okay, that's great, fantastic,
keep going, and again I'm gonna do
close-up shots, and I'm gonna do wide
shots. It's doing wonderful things to
Sharinna's hair, and wonderful isn't
always wonderful. But through the
fabric you actually barely see it, it
just disappears in, which all adds to the
look of the film, okay awesome!
Good stuff.
Okay great, thanks guys for coming by and
playing, and having some fun. I think it's
always great to work with other
photographers. If you guys are out there
and you have friends their interests in
photography, or whatever get together,
shoot together, shoot the same model that
you know. Share ideas, it wasn't like we
each were in our own little circle,
though may have looked that way, we were
talking before we started, what we're gonna
do, and bouncing ideas off each other and
that's really great, and I think that's
what Adorama TV is kind of about you
know, this whole community of
photographers learning and talking, and
from each other, so be sure to subscribe
to Adoramatv for more videos. Be
sure to follow Sharinna on social, I put
the links in the bottom. Follow all of us
and I'll see you next time Onset!
