We present one of the most famous books of post-war Polish literature.
This is the first edition issued in 1956. "The first step in the clouds" by Marek Hłasko,
a collection of short stories that laid the foundations of the literary legend of this artist.
Legends of a seventeen-year-old who left school, became a chauffeur and began to write... remarkably.
The works that made up this volume began to appear in the literary press from 1951,
and they aroused great interest in critics before they were printed.
After the show, the book caused a lot of noise in Poland, and during the first three years it was translated into
Czech, Hungarian, Serbian and Croatian, Slovenian, French, English, Hebrew and Danish.
Soon, the famous films included in "The First Step in the Clouds" were also shot,
such as Wojciech Has's "Loop" or "The People of the Dead" by Ewa and Czesław Petelski.
And all this happened during the political fever and thaw of the turn of October 1956.
A small volume book therefore has a great and fascinating history.
The presented edition also has an extremely interesting, attractive cover and title page,
designed by Jan Młodożeniec
and also interesting illustrations by Jerzy Ćwiertnia.
The collector's item is in very good condition.

Verbal Aspect & Navajo Madness - Duration: 9:41.
Last time we looked at tense - the grammatical feature that locates in events in time.
This time let's look at aspect - the grammatical feature that tells us how an event relates
to the flow of time or, in fancy linguist speak, it tells us something about the internal
temporal consistency of an event.
At the highest level, we have the opposition between the perfective aspect and imperfective
aspect.
The perfective aspect presents an event as an instance in time - a simple unanalyzed
whole.[1] Whereas the imperfective aspect treats an event as a process with beginning,
duration and end.[2] Oftentimes, though not always, the perfective emphasises completion
and the imperfect emphasises incompletion.
Russian features such an opposition.
For every english verb[3] there are two Russian verbs which differ only in aspect.
One is perfective[4] the other imperfective[5].
The perfective form, in keeping with our definition, is used for completed events, events that
occur once, and when the result of an event is relevant.
The imperfective form is used for events that are repeated, have duration, are incomplete
or are in progress.
Both aspects can be applied across the past[6], present[7], and future[8] tenses.
Albeit Russian forbids the present perfective which kinda makes sense; the present is an
ongoing process centred on the now and the perfective is synonymous with completion – the
two don't really mix.
Now given that, by definition, there is more to say about the imperfective, some languages
split it up into the habitual aspect and continuous aspect.
The habitual aspect, think 'used to', tells us that event occurs habitually 'I
used to walk to work' or that it is characteristic of the time period being talked about 'this
building used to be a shop'.
The continuous aspect, on the other hand, tells that an event is ongoing but not habitual.
'He sees it' in Quechua[9] translates literally as he is in the process of seeing
it.
We can go down another level on the aspect tree and sub-divide the continuous aspect
into the progressive and non-progressive aspect.
The progressive aspect tells us an event is an ongoing dynamic process 'I was walking,
I am eating, I will be learning' whereas the non-progressive tells us the event is
an ongoing static state.
Analogs in English are 'I love, I know, I understand'.
Then there's the perfect which doesn't neatly fit into the aspect tree.
It tells us that an event has present relevance or put another way it highlights the consequences
of an action.
'Want some dinner?
No thanks, I have eaten?'
The event: the eating.
The consequence: I'm too full have dinner right now.
Now, I'm not pointing any fingers here, linguists, but next time maybe don't give almost identical
labels to utterly different concepts.[10] Just a thought...
Anyways, English deploys the majestically named perfect aspect in a number of cool ways.
There's the Perfect of Result 'Steven has arrived' which implies an event still holds.
Steven arrived and is still here.
The Experiential Perfect 'Steven has been to Beach City' tells us the event has occurred
at least once.
The Perfect of Persistence 'Pearl has lived here for many years' emphasises continuity
from past to present.
And the Perfect of Recency 'I've just seen Opal' highlights recency as the important
point in a statement.
With all that in the bag, let's talk about how to apply aspects to our conlangs.
First decide if you even want aspect.
Yoruba lacks tense and instead relies on a ton of aspects to convey temporal information.[11]
[12] German on the other hand doesn't really bother with aspect.
Context[13] and adverbs[14] suffice in German.
Assuming you do want aspects, pick from this set.[15] Be minimal and for the most part
think in oppositions: perfective vs imperfective, perfective vs habitual and continuous on so
on, and then decide how your aspects will be marked - with inflectional morphology like
in Russian, or through auxiliary verbs and periphrasis like in English, or maybe you
could just make up different verbs for each aspect.[16]
FYI periphrasis is the use of separate words to convey a grammatical relationship that
otherwise would be conveyed by inflection.
Couple of extra pointers though.
In English, we can say 'I used to work here' but not 'I will used to work here'.
That is, the habitual aspect can't be applied to the future, only the past.
This is common.
Past tenses tend to have more aspectual distinctions than other tenses so think about mimicking
this in your conlang.
Also, try to combine tense and aspect markers.
Like how the Italian Imperfetto[17], conveys the past tense, habitual aspect and progressive
aspect all at once in a single affix[18].
Combining tense and aspect is naturalistic[19], marking them seperately is not.[20]
Now, these are beginner level guidelines but the more advanced amongst may wish to go a
little deeper.
Buckle in folks...it's about to get dense.
Thus far we've only talked about grammatical aspect but there's also lexical aspect - the
phenomenon whereby verbs themselves are inherently temporal.
Such verbs come, at least in English, in five flavours.
An Activity, like 'to walk', is defined as being a dynamic, atelic, durative event.
Dynamic meaning the event is an ongoing process which requires continuous input.
Atelic means the event has no clear endpoint; stop walking at any time and the statement
'I walked' holds true.
And durative means the event is conceived of as lasting in time.
An Accomplishment, like 'to build a bridge', is defined as being a dynamic, telic, durative
event.
It's a process, it has a clearly defined end point; the bridge is either built or not,
you can't cut off construction at a point and say the bridge is built.
And it has duration.
A Semelfactive, like 'to hiccup', is a dynamic, atelic, instantaneous event.
It's a process, it has no clear end-point, and it occurs instantaneously - or at least
we conceive of it as being an instantaneous event.
An Achievement, like 'to reach to a summit', is defined as being a dynamic, telic, instantaneous
event.
It's a process, it has a clear end point and it occurs instantaneously - one moment the
summit has not been reached and the next it has.
And a Stative, like 'to know', is defined as being durative and static.
It has duration but is a changeless state - once you know something it holds over time
with no further input.
I bring all this up to say that a conlanger should be aware that the lexical aspect of
a verb can affect which grammatical aspect the verb can take.
In English, 'I am walking' is grammatically correct but 'I am knowing' is incorrect.
Meaning English allows the progressive aspect to couple with activities but not with states.
Think about this with your lang.
Finally, no talk of aspect would be complete without mentioning Navajo.
In blatant disregard for my guidelines, Navajos aspect system features … wait for it … seven
modes, twelve primary aspects and ten sub-aspects.
All of which combine with each other in various complex ways.
The modes are: imperfective, perfective, progressive, future, usitative, iterative, optative.
They're called modes but apart for the future (a tense) and the optative (a mood) they're
actually aspects.
The usitative aspect tells us that an event takes place customarily whereas the iterative
aspect tells us that an event takes place repeatedly.
Which, I know, sounds like tomato-tomato but take a sentence like this:
Hastiin ná'ádlį́į́hgo, ch'ínáshdááh[21]
The first part is iterative; the implication is that the husband has been known to drink
on several occasions.
And the second part is usitative; leaving is the customary response to the husbands
drinking.
Then we got the primary aspects: momentaneous, continuative, durative, repetitive, conclusive,
semelfactive, distributive, diversative, reversative, conative, transitional, and cursive.
Here's what they all do[22], links in the description.
Some of my favourites are the semelfactive aspect, which kinda like before tells us that
an event is a single act in a repeated series of acts[23]; the conative aspect, which tells
is that an event was attempted[24]; and the cursive aspect, which tells us an event progresses
in a line through time and/or space.
Think 'along'[25]
On to the subaspect: completive, terminative, stative, inceptive, prolongative, seriative,
inchoative, reversionary, semeliterative.
Again here's what they do[26].
The seriative aspect is cool.
It tells us that an event occurs in sequence[27].
And so is the semeliterative aspect, which tells us that an event occurs one more time[28].
But the prize for best aspect has got to go to Hopi and it's segmentative aspect.
Brace yourself for this one … the segmentative aspect takes the thing conveyed by a verb,
repeats it, and stretches it out into a series of interconnected segments in a single dimension,
regardless of time or space or both.
It forms an acute angle[29] turns into it is zigzagging[30].
Trippy, right?!
And I could go on and on[31] but this video is getting long.
Links in the description … Laters.

What if Someone Refuses Help? - Schizophrenia - Duration: 6:43.
Hey what's up I'm Rachel Star schizophrenic so what do you do if
somebody refuses help first off if they're a danger to themselves or others
police okay especially if they're a danger to you alright so if there is an
act of danger that this person might kill themselves
might kill other people might kill you you need to get the police involved okay
like you need to just putting that out there pretty strong moving on
and this doesn't even have to have mental disorders if you have someone in
your life but maybe not diagnosed you like all they're fine or normally but
they're planning on shooting a bunch of people police yeah now who is this
person so let's talk if it's your child all right um if they're under 18 and
they have a problem and you're the parent you do need to like step in like
go to the doctor go to a therapist now if they're like middle school the high
school that's where it starts getting a little trickier I remember my parents
once taking me to a therapist and I I hated it I did not want to go and I
hated the woman she was super weird and I was just like I don't want to go do
this so it gets a lot harder we're talking about an older teen all right to
you know 17 trying to control them like that again especially for like a bigger
teenager you need to call the police if they're a danger okay and I can't even
imagine how hard that would be to do do for your child but I think we've all
seen the news yeah so if possible sit him down talk to them
all right kind of find some middle ground is there
some way like maybe there's a certain type of doctor you want to try first
like maybe let's just go talk to a school counselor first all right and see
where that goes or they could be the opposite and like not what you know it's
even touch so school be like I want to go to a real doctor so talk to them
alright give a few different options don't just come and sit you have to go
to the doctor all right give a few different options like hey
we can go the doctor all right we can go talk to a therapist all right we can go
talk to you know throw out some different options there okay don't make
it don't like kind of corner the person and make them feel like you're just kind
of coming at them and gonna force this help on them you know and if they are
your kid you know maybe you can even kind of bribe somehow like look you go
to therapy we go to McDonald's after BAM now over 18 let's actually talk about
spouses because this um comes up a lot in questions to me where one spouse
really wants the other one to go and get help and that person doesn't want to
period that kind of gets into the marriage territory of you needing to sit
down and like say look something has to change like something has to and if that
person is violent towards children in any way you need to get the children out
of the house okay and like you need to if at any point this person might become
violent to the towards children in any way you need to just take them out go
stay with someone else take them out I know that's like super or like well
Rachel it's a little no no at any point any harm take them out okay um if it's
not that kind of situation you're really just going to sit down if it really is that situaiton
something has to change be supportive um be like hey I'll go
with you we can even try it like couples therapy first or if you don't want me
anywhere near the doctor if you don't want me to know anything going on that's
fine too because people are different some want someone right there beside
them some don't now a friend or an adult child there's only so much you can do
but being supportive offering to kind of help them stepping in and being like hey
you're acting different you know I feel like you have a problem you're on a
really self-destructive path what you don't want to do is enable alright if
you know this person is engaging in very self-destructive activities and for
instance you're giving the money to continue on with those self-destructive
activities you're enabling them and they're not gonna change
it really sucks and I've had to tell people this before but a lot of people
have to hit rock bottom
I've had to thankfully oh and that's what made me have to come home and like
actually I was 20 like that's what made me have to come home was I hit rock
bottom hard over Eastern Europe and that's was
like I have to go home because I'm gonna die here I don't people have to hit rock
bottom sometimes and that can be scary because some people don't come back from
that but if they were already on that self-destructive path at least you
stepping in and speaking up there was a chance no one wants to cut somebody off
and I've had to do it actually quite a few times with um you know friends and
people who come into my life with mental disorders and stuff because where you
know they're they became so toxic that it was affecting me and I had to just
like be like I had you'd like draw it ultimately like look I'm gonna step away
from you I'm sorry um because you are so freaking toxic and you're not getting
your ish together and I can't I can't be around you anymore because I can't
sacrifice myself for you I can't I'm sorry you're not my child
and you're not my spouse so I'm sorry it's not worth it at the end of the day
there's only so much you can do for other people just be a good friend you
know be supportive and again yeah sometimes being a good friend is cutting
someone off I'm Rachel star thank you for watching like subscribe share I
don't know whatever else you can do with videos post in places print out

Storytelling
When Simon was little
everyone said he was a weepy child.
He cried because he dropped a toy.
He cried because his foot itched,
He cried because he was hungry,
he cried because his pacifier had fallen,
he cried because he wanted to sleep.
Simon, you are a crybaby!
His mother already told him:
Simon, you are a crybaby!
When dad changed his diaper he said:
Simon, you are a crybaby!
And in the grandparents' house, the grandmother said:
Simon, you are a crybaby!
When Simon turned five years old
He cried because he did not want to go to school.
Or he cried because he did not want to go home.
He was crying for chocolate ice cream
or cried because Dad was leaving.
Everyone kept saying that Simon was a weepy.
The godmother, the teacher and her best friend they said:
Simon, you are a crybaby!
One day, tired of being told by everyone the same
he decided that he would not cry again in front of from the people.
Every time a tear came out of his eyes,
he immediately took it.
he put it in a pot so no one would see it.
he put the lid on it so it would not escape.
Where is Simon going?
Ah, he's going to hide the pot under his bed.
Nobody told him anymore that Simon was a crybaby.
Now the answer was:
Very good, Simon,
You are a man made and right!
That phrase made him decide to pick up
the tears of everyone who cried.
When a child cried
because he did not want to share a toy,
He approached him,
He wiped his tears with his handkerchief
and he kept it in his pocket.
When a girl fell off her bike,
he approached her,
he wiped her tears with his handkerchief
and he kept it in his pocket.
When he got home he ran to his room
Drained the handkerchief full of tears in the pot,
he put the lid on them so they would not escape
and hid it again under his bed.
Over time he realized that moms,
uncles and aunts, grandparents and grandmothers too they cried
Even Dad had sometimes
a different brightness in his eyes.
So he started to pick up too
All those tears for his pot.
Nobody had to be a crybaby.
Little by little he was filling boats.
Simon picked up so many tears that no one could cry
all the tears were hidden underneath of his bed,
locked in pots so they would not escape.
He thought that this way the world would be better.
But with the passing of days he discovered
that without them people did not understand each other
Without tears nobody knew when to a baby itched a foot
or when he did not want to sleep.
When a child had a nightmare
or when someone was sad.
So Simon ran to his room
and he took the boats hidden under his bed.
He opened the lid and let out all the tears,
so that each one returned to its owner,
that each one would tell how he felt.
The father or the mother, the grandfather or the grandmother.
With tears of sorrow.
Or even with tears of laughter.
Because sometimes you can also cry laughing.

How to Find a Good Dropshipping Supplier - Duration: 6:49.
Today we're lifting the lid on one of the most elusive parts of dropshipping.
The supplier.
If you're a dropshipper, stick around, because this video is for you.
Hey everyone, it's Jessica from Oberlo.
If you're a dropshipper, then I'm going to assume you've never seen your supplier.
Am I right?
That's about to change.
Kind of.
I'm not going to send you on a blind date with one, but by the end of this video, you'll
be armed with all the supplier knowledge you need to choose the right one for your business.
You'll know exactly what to look for when it comes to choosing between suppliers on
the Oberlo platform.
After all, if you've got the world's best ecommerce store, with a winning product that
will sell, none of it will matter if your supplier sucks.
We are going to look at how different suppliers on Oberlo behave when it comes to six of the
most important aspects of dropshipping for you, the merchant.
Let's get down to it.
6.
Knowledge of dropshipping
Do you have to inform suppliers that you are dropshipping?
Oberlo offers three kinds of suppliers: AliExpress suppliers, Oberlo Suppliers, and Oberlo Verified
Suppliers.
AliExpress suppliers are not aware that you are dropshipping.
Sometimes these guys like to leave their promo material in packages.
It's not the end of the world if it happens, but it's not ideal for you, or your customers.
If you use Oberlo to dropship, you can leave an automated note for your AliExpress supplier
telling them not to include any promo stuff for all of your orders.
The Oberlo guys know that you're dropshipping.
They know because Oberlo has told them so, and they complete their orders and leave no
trace that it has anything to do with dropshipping at all.
That means peace of mind for you: Your customers will receive their orders, and nothing but
their orders.
No promos, no invoices, no nasty surprises.
5.
Custom labeling
Custom labelling, or white labelling, is when you, the merchant, personalize a product provided
by the supplier.
All three kinds of suppliers do not usually provide custom labelling for dropshippers.
I say "usually" because there are some who do.
If you require custom labelling, then we recommend simply getting in touch with a supplier you
are interested in to ask them about it personally.
Like my mama said: if you don't ask, you don't get.
Oberlo is exploring white labelling and customization opportunities for its marketplace of products.
This is in the pipeline, and as of August 2018, Oberlo has a team in China working on
it.
Stay tuned.
4.
Shipping times
This one's a biggy.
Shipping times are something that your customers will expect to have a clear understanding
of.
Here's what you need to know:
AliExpress suppliers generally ship orders within two to seven business days.
On the other hand, most Oberlo suppliers and Oberlo Verified Suppliers ship their orders
within two to four business days.
Oberlo Verified Suppliers was launched in mid 2018.
These are the top performing suppliers on the Oberlo marketplace.
There's a link in the description below if you would like to find out more about Oberlo
Verified Suppliers.
Keep in mind that there are two time periods required for dropshipping: The first is the
time it takes between receiving an order and shipping it from the warehouse.
The second period is the time it takes for the order to go from the warehouse to the
customer.
The second period depends on shipping methods.
Oberlo makes it easy for merchants to see their shipping options, so if you want a supplier
with fast turnaround times, keep an eye out for suppliers like this one who offers US
fast shipping via USPS.
Order fulfilment
Orders are automatically fulfilled with Oberlo suppliers.
Once an Oberlo Verified Supplier or an Oberlo supplier ships an order, the tracking code
is added to the Oberlo platform.
And that's it.
You don't really have to lift a finger to fulfil an order.
AliExpress suppliers work a little differently.
Once the supplier ships an order, you have to click on the Oberlo fulfilment buttons
to sync and fulfill your order.
How to fulfil orders with AliExpress suppliers is a common question for dropshippers, so
I've included a link in the description below that offers a very quick run-down of
how to handle order fulfillment with AliExpress suppliers.
2.
Returns and refunds
If a customer requests a return or a refund and you're working with Oberlo suppliers
or Oberlo Verified suppliers, here's what to do.
Simply report the issue to your supplier by using the support inbox.
You can find it in the left sidebar of the Oberlo app.
Or ask the supplier directly for the refund.
Refunds are issued for the following situations:
In this case, your customer received the wrong item.
Maybe the product arrived in a different color, size, or model.
Suppliers require evidence of this.
It's good to know this now so you can tell your customers as soon as possible and not
delay their inquiry.
This is when the package arrived in a damaged condition.
Just like the supplier needing evidence of the wrong item being delivered, the supplier
is going to need evidence that the package was damaged too before they can issue a refunds.
In this case the product arrived in an extremely poor condition.
Again: evidence is necessary.
This is when an order goes missing during the shipping process.
This is when the estimated delivery time for your product has passed.
Returns and refunds are not the norm.
Oberlo suppliers, and especially Oberlo Verified Suppliers, have very low error rates.
But starting your own online business is sure to be full of surprises, so better to be prepared,
right?
1.
Disputes
Alright, we know a dispute is something every merchant wants to avoid, but sometimes they
happen whether you like it or not.
That's life, and here's what you need to know if you encounter a dispute.
Oberlo suppliers and Oberlo Verified suppliers are obliged to respond to you within two to
five days of you opening a dispute or asking a question.
If they do not react within that time, one of our dedicated supply managers will step
in and mediate for you.
With AliExpress and disputes, we recommend you tread carefully when it comes to choosing
a supplier.
AliExpress suppliers have been known to take a long time to reply to disputes, and in the
worst cases, they do not even reply at all.
That's a whole new level of ghosting.
And it leaves you entirely responsible for dealing with customer complaints and other
business problems.
A few bad apples shouldn't spoil the tree.
Not all AliExpress suppliers behave the same way.
Here are a few signs to look out for to help you spot the good eggs.
Feedback
There are two kinds of feedback ratings to check when you are looking for AliExpress
suppliers.
The first is the Feedback Score
It represents the supplier's sales volume.
The second is called the Positive Feedback Rate, this shows the
feedback rate which the supplier has received.
Look for suppliers with a Positive Feedback Rate of 95% and above and a Feedback Score
of at least 2,000.
If your supplier meets these two criteria, then your supply line should be fine.
So keep this in mind when you go hunting for suppliers on AliExpress.
This doesn't mean that AliExpress suppliers with lower scores are not reliable.
It is just a general rule to work by that can help you when you start out.
Now you are all set to go and pick a supplier.
What do you look out for when you choose a supplier?
Do you do anything I haven't mentioned?
I want to hear about it in the comments.
Thanks for watching.
In the meantime, turn on that notification bell and remember: learn often, market better,
and sell more.

OPEN THROAT Singing Method - How It Really Works - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy - Duration: 27:48.
Hey, Guys! Welcome back again to Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof
continues to be in the singing. I want to
talk about open throat technique and at
least my experience of what that is
compared to some of the videos that I've
seen on the internet and I've seen some
interesting stuff and some decent
information here and there but a lot of
it is really textbook stuff and it's not
really seen a practical application of
how open throat technique works. So the
very first thing I want to talk about is
laryngeal position, which means your
larynx. Okay, now your larynx for guys
your Adam's apple so you have this you
know voice box it kind of goes up and
down and you know that's the larynx it's
in there and one recent vocal coach you
know talks about a lowered laryngeal
position and neutral laryngeal position
a raised laryngeal position, and then
kind of compartmentalizes all of this
stuff and I want to say that it's not
quite that simple. And let me explain why
to have someone's, I don't want to use the
word bash, but to say, you know, you don't
want to have you know here's a lower
laryngeal position: AAAHHH here's a
neutral laryngeal position AAAHH! Here's a raised laryngeal
position AAAHH! Right. So we have these sort
of you know ways of looking at this
that's not really a good healthy way to
approach this and let me explain what my
experience has been in it this could be
help to you then hopefully this will
you'll benefit from this the first thing
is is that in Bel Canto the canto means
opera in a Porsche it's the old-school
style of singing for Barbara that's sort
of the gold standard to really
understand how these alluring tail
positions work to make fun of you know
tenors that have been doing this a long
time a couple hundred years and make
that you know mock them in that kind of
way for a laurel ranger position oh that
would be so good I don't know that I
would do that for lots of reasons and
explain why I been doing the grandpa's
been doing this a long time 35 years so
I've done that look me up on IMDB I've
got close to a thousand songs where you
get more maybe than a thousand songs
placed in film and TV Internet Movie
Database just check it out go to my wiki
you can check out I've got over 40
records out and I've written songs with
kiss and I've done this that than that
so you have these vocal coaches that
come out and they say this stuff that's
textbook stuff okay this is really
important and they may even at the end
of their video give you some theatrical
thing or whatever but listen to their
actual voice and ask yourself if you
really like it and see if they display
any students that do this and you really
like the way their students soundin
here's why that's important it took me a
long time to figure this stuff out this
wasn't something this has been in
processed and by the way as we age we
also have to learn how to control this
over time it's not like once you learn
it you learn it your diet
no you have to continue the process so
I've taken some very prestigious vocal
coaches and I'd love to tell you who
they all are any with some to
braggadocious so I'm not going to talk
about it but what I am gonna say is this
what I've learned and if this helps you
is that if we first trained with a lower
laryngeal position it really helps you
understand what open throat technique is
now is that the end all no but here's
something I want to put it put out there
to you guys is in the world of appoggio
Bel Canto Opera is that but we're in the
early stages of let's say a tenor and
I'm going to talk about guys and we
could talk about you know female vocal
Sopranos Altos contraltos up etc in a
minute is that a lower laryngeal
position helps us identify how to keep
the throat open first it doesn't mean
we're always going to reside in a Laura
laryngeal position in fact that's silly
in fact the I've heard so many vocal
coaches especially SLS vocal coaches say
you should always be in a neutral
position how stupid is that the larynx
moves up and down all the time it
doesn't
what you're doing and if you're at one
position in a scale in a lower register
and you start to go up to a Midway's
register that neutralizes and as you go
higher if you allow the laryngeal
position you go up like this you inhibit
range
anylock down on the lyrics to where
you're not able to go up really really
high and again guys and gals are
different their vocal cords are about
half the size of men so we have to I
can't go in all the details of this now
but I'm just talking about how open
throw it works now what I've learned and
I hope the feel benefit from this so
really listen closely guys this is
Bolden information if you're talking to
a guy that's toured for 30-some odd
years not some guy that sits behind a
piano in a climate-controlled
studio that's parroting something from a
textbook look me up look at the stuff
that I've done they'll explain this to
you when you train a lower laryngeal
position you're able to open up your
throat and you know what is it throat
and all this stuff and blah blah blah
your throat is your throat guys go in a
mirror doctor wants to see your tonsils
ah-ah-ah just look at the back here
throat we want the tongue drop to the
base of the jaw first okay we want the
back of this road and this other vocal
coach was kind of mocking the uvula
approach and soft palate approach but
that matters it matters a lot actually
and it matters even more the higher up
you go so that you Gila rises even
higher as you go and the soft palate
rises higher to go to create maximum
space if we don't do that we actually
pinch off and choke off the back of the
throat and then we're straining
ourselves to get to having a lot of good
open throat as we go out this is really
important so what is what I learned
again this is just me talking doing this
whatever you want this information in
the vowel and I'm gonna go through the
vowels all the vowels in a second the a
vowel is the biggest vowel that we have
and it's the most difficult to train
that's why all vowel sounds stem from
its lala i open up that vowel there's
something called vocal tract shaping and
hopefully I'll remember
get to this in a second is that in
within that about if we can train that
off I'll open first to keep all this
open mechanism in the back now what
you're gonna do is you're gonna go to a
mirror I want you to grab a handheld
mirror and I want you to just simply go
and I want you to watch the position of
your tongue and you're gonna see that
your tongue swells up and you start to
gag on your tongue right
what just trust me on this go to a
mirror or get a handheld mirror and
watch yourself do this if you drop the
larynx your voice box down
you're gonna find that you can maintain
and build muscle memory to hold the
larynx down this is really important
it's an anchor let me say this again
it's an anchor for your ability to
control the larynx okay so it's a pillar
that you build your voice on when we
talk about laryngeal positions just
because we talk about a lowered
laryngeal position doesn't mean we
always reside in a lower laryngeal
position okay let me say this again
we're going over Zeus in fact how many
insert something really funny for you
guys I have an assistant named Bob so
Bob when you can if you can insert I did
a couple of lower the original position
songs one of them is low rider okay and
we're going to show this clip in a
minute and another one is Johnny Cash
brings a fire and I use a lowered
laryngeal position through the whole
song okay but I can sing with any
position I want but I'm gonna get back
to why this is important in a second but
we're gonna play the clip Bob if you
play the clip now let's do it
right don't try to dance now
little trip to take a little
take a little trip take a little trip
take a little trip see
and low rider don't drive too fast now
so if you can tell this isn't just a
lower lense position this is a drop
learns position kinda like a gospel
quartet in country sort of combined I'm
gonna drop it even farther on this
course here readyit's keep going neck
here we go
I fell into a burning Ring of Fire
the flames of getting high and if
the ring of
okay so like I said you can see I
there's a difference between a lowered
larynx position a la la
very big difference one is just a
lowering of taking the farik's keeping
them flat horizontally straight and
taking your whole Eric and lowering it
so it's a la la is lowered and drop is
law completely taking the entire
Alaric's itself and dropping it all the
way to the floor
okay we chose a couple little pieces out
of that clip to show you a lowered
laryngeal position and why that's
important is it shows that I can
maintain a lower laryngeal position but
then how is it possible if I can sing in
this position but then sing
and connect the sound and go up really
high and release to a neutral position I
never go to a race position a raised
position would be this and you're caught
okay now I know there's a lot of pop
artists or you know Rihanna and like all
these people do you know Britney and all
these people do all these raise
positions and there are people that can
do it and do it well in fact Paul Rogers
does this i'ma baby when I think about
you I think about enough or Paul Carrack
you know tempted by the fruit of another
he's gonna use it so a brace position
but if you notice when they go up they
open up the sound and they drop the
lyrics so to say that you're gonna sing
only in one position and only in this
position and only in that position is
kind of ludicrous to me again
it's just can't tell they're talking I'm
just trying to give you a good quality
information let's get back to a lord
limit oh wait I was gonna sorry I was
gonna talk about a neutral position Bob
if you don't mind playing the clip you
know let's grab Steelheart for example
where I shit between a neutral position
I have dropped the lyrics as I go
through passaggio and then I have to
come back to a neutral position is that
go up high check out this clip
okay now there's other times you can do
it and use the John Fogerty clip here
Bob use fortunate side where you sing in
it in a just a slightly lowered position
like me a Wilson Pickett which we just
did a whole thing here recently on open
throat technique um you know right use a
lowered position and then I move it to a
neutral position
check out this fortunate side clip
okay why this is important is because
when we learn and we train the voice in
a lowered position we can hold down the
soundboard of the voice when we can hold
this down then we can relax it and move
it into a neutral position when we're in
a neutral position or we try to learn
only from neutral position the default
or what most people do is as they ascend
a scale or passage they go to a raised
position and then all of a sudden they
get caught in the throat right now there
are great artists that do this like I
said I talked about you know Paul Rogers
Glenn Hughes this ago you know sort of
the thrill II think Sam and Dave you
just talked about this in another video
well this becomes more of a stylistic
thing because I've heard Glenn do this
without having to raise the position but
what we do is again first we train first
the lower laryngeal position once we've
mastered that and we did the feeling of
it what I'm gonna back up sorry a lot of
information in bel canto when kids are
being raised to understand how to sing
with these different laryngeal positions
they cannot touch an aria which is the
musical piece of Italian for four years
we think by this for four years they
train bowels in different laryngeal
positions think about that okay what I
did was develop something that showed
that if you train a lowered position
first and you maintain that lowered
position to where you understand when
you relaxed the position to a neutral
position and if you want to raise it to
an upper you know to a raised learned
your position then all of a sudden
you're you have total command total
control of this and you can get there a
lot quicker you don't have to do it in
four years you can do it six months okay
straight up if you do it every day about
an hour hour and a half a day five days
a week and start sorry for those who
didn't want to take the quick pill and
get it you know doing faster than that
it
happen that way because we're at the gym
and we're working out and this is what
we have to do now we want to use these
different positions all throughout the
spectrum of the voice but there's two
elements that are missing big ones the
first one is is remember I just said
that all vowel sounds stem from its the
LA ah and it was a real open sound well
gets wet when I go ah ah eh and I spread
the pharynx which is just the mouth
right when I spread the pharynx all of a
sudden the sound closes down so I
haven't trained a lord laryngeal
position first I have no way of really
identifying how that really feels in the
throat when the fruit itself closes down
as the pharynx is spread this is really
important why because we don't sing only
one vowel Wow and we sing many different
vowels through the spectrum of the voice
and as we go through raising the going
up and range up and down in range we
find that we have to change this
laryngeal position and also there's
another huge element to this which our
glottal stops are things that close down
the back of the throat now what am I
need by that it means that we want to
reside in something called contiguous
phrase singing continuous phrase singing
is that we want to keep that vowel open
as long as we can without closing it
down with consonants well it turns out
to be this is extremely important
because every time you close a consonant
down it closes off the back of the
throat it wants to shoot air up into the
velar nasal port by the way fancy terms
for all the stupid stuff not stupid but
I try to keep things so simple I don't
love complicating stuffing you find
yourself using technical terms you hope
people will understand cooling into the
nose and so as it goes into the nose
then the throat is swing hey hey man
what's wrong with you do you want this
to come out of the mouth or do you want
this to come out of the nose could you
make up your mind here or both right so
what we want to do contiguous racing's
we want to have the the sound over the
fact Steve Perry and Sam Cooke I just
did a vocal demonstration on this and
sure when I'm gonna air all this stuff
but if you listen to what change is
gonna come from by Sam Cooke and using
house bow because every time I close
down a consonant sound I have to read
open the throat and then get back to
that placement that I had depending on
where I am in the range well men if you
think that's tough and you think that
you're gonna only reside in a neutral
position or raise laryngeal position or
lower position you've got another thing
coming
now again I'm gonna say this again check
out whomever you get your information
from do they sing great not just sin do
they sing great what do you want to
sound like them and do they displace
students that sing great this is so
important because I could sit there and
then I could be some guy that gets on
the internet reads all kinds of
technical stuff and and regurgitate this
stuff to you or I could put my heart on
a sleeve and put my heart on the line
and actually demonstrate and show you
this is very very important so as we go
up and down a scale if we only train a
neutral position a neutral learned your
position as we ascend there's a 95 doing
this for 35 years 95% of the people I've
trained default to erase positions so
they'll get caught and erase the
position if you train a lower position
first this is old-school bel canto guys
you train in a lower position first and
then you relax to a neutral position and
you understand the soundboard how to
move that soundboard first by anchoring
it to a lowered position it doesn't mean
you're sentencing yourself to see in a
lower position all the time
it just means you understand it I wanna
wrap you
till I'm dying
the way feel like me
- spend my time waiting on your call how
can I tell you babe my backs against the
wall I need you by my side to tell me
it's alright cuz I don't think I can
cheat game
love
and century
three days
hold on
it's got a hold on me
cutting passes on cello but the
backstage tour
I know that I must do what's right
sure is Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
above the sea
I seek to kill once deep inside trying
to know this thing that I've become
I miss the rain salad
ricca-san
please with
yeah yeah
Jamie tell me
I can always kill you
I believe
you won't ever have to
everybody you see
come and take me Shira yeah
come and take me when I hold my own
no she bets my solo
she's alright
that's the way is me
I met you baby
dream
Drimmer
as you've seen some of these different
positions you see that this can be done
in all kinds of different ways now
here's where this gets equally
interesting we talked about the vowels
themselves with a vowel if you go to an
e e is the most parentally spread vowel
but we have all of a sudden learns goes
up right but if you've trained a lowered
laryngeal position
I can actually maintain the a vowel or a
different vowel modification to hold it
at bay so then I don't get caught in the
throat anyway guys I could go on and on
and on about this I have a singing
course called how to sing better than
anyone else I covered all of us in the
poor's if you guys want to check it out
cool hopefully this information that's
beneficial to you and I'm sure we'll
talk a lot more about this in future
sessions so thank you for joining me

Pierwodruk wydanego w 1956 r. „Pierwszego dnia w chmurach" Marka Hłaski (w dobrym stanie) - Duration: 1:46.
We present one of the most famous books of post-war Polish literature.
This is the first edition issued in 1956. "The first step in the clouds" by Marek Hłasko,
a collection of short stories that laid the foundations of the literary legend of this artist.
Legends of a seventeen-year-old who left school, became a chauffeur and began to write... remarkably.
The works that made up this volume began to appear in the literary press from 1951,
and they aroused great interest in critics before they were printed.
After the show, the book caused a lot of noise in Poland, and during the first three years it was translated into
Czech, Hungarian, Serbian and Croatian, Slovenian, French, English, Hebrew and Danish.
Soon, the famous films included in "The First Step in the Clouds" were also shot,
such as Wojciech Has's "Loop" or "The People of the Dead" by Ewa and Czesław Petelski.
And all this happened during the political fever and thaw of the turn of October 1956.
A small volume book therefore has a great and fascinating history.
The presented edition also has an extremely interesting, attractive cover and title page,
designed by Jan Młodożeniec
and also interesting illustrations by Jerzy Ćwiertnia.
The collector's item is in very good condition.

Verbal Aspect & Navajo Madness - Duration: 9:41.
Last time we looked at tense - the grammatical feature that locates in events in time.
This time let's look at aspect - the grammatical feature that tells us how an event relates
to the flow of time or, in fancy linguist speak, it tells us something about the internal
temporal consistency of an event.
At the highest level, we have the opposition between the perfective aspect and imperfective
aspect.
The perfective aspect presents an event as an instance in time - a simple unanalyzed
whole.[1] Whereas the imperfective aspect treats an event as a process with beginning,
duration and end.[2] Oftentimes, though not always, the perfective emphasises completion
and the imperfect emphasises incompletion.
Russian features such an opposition.
For every english verb[3] there are two Russian verbs which differ only in aspect.
One is perfective[4] the other imperfective[5].
The perfective form, in keeping with our definition, is used for completed events, events that
occur once, and when the result of an event is relevant.
The imperfective form is used for events that are repeated, have duration, are incomplete
or are in progress.
Both aspects can be applied across the past[6], present[7], and future[8] tenses.
Albeit Russian forbids the present perfective which kinda makes sense; the present is an
ongoing process centred on the now and the perfective is synonymous with completion – the
two don't really mix.
Now given that, by definition, there is more to say about the imperfective, some languages
split it up into the habitual aspect and continuous aspect.
The habitual aspect, think 'used to', tells us that event occurs habitually 'I
used to walk to work' or that it is characteristic of the time period being talked about 'this
building used to be a shop'.
The continuous aspect, on the other hand, tells that an event is ongoing but not habitual.
'He sees it' in Quechua[9] translates literally as he is in the process of seeing
it.
We can go down another level on the aspect tree and sub-divide the continuous aspect
into the progressive and non-progressive aspect.
The progressive aspect tells us an event is an ongoing dynamic process 'I was walking,
I am eating, I will be learning' whereas the non-progressive tells us the event is
an ongoing static state.
Analogs in English are 'I love, I know, I understand'.
Then there's the perfect which doesn't neatly fit into the aspect tree.
It tells us that an event has present relevance or put another way it highlights the consequences
of an action.
'Want some dinner?
No thanks, I have eaten?'
The event: the eating.
The consequence: I'm too full have dinner right now.
Now, I'm not pointing any fingers here, linguists, but next time maybe don't give almost identical
labels to utterly different concepts.[10] Just a thought...
Anyways, English deploys the majestically named perfect aspect in a number of cool ways.
There's the Perfect of Result 'Steven has arrived' which implies an event still holds.
Steven arrived and is still here.
The Experiential Perfect 'Steven has been to Beach City' tells us the event has occurred
at least once.
The Perfect of Persistence 'Pearl has lived here for many years' emphasises continuity
from past to present.
And the Perfect of Recency 'I've just seen Opal' highlights recency as the important
point in a statement.
With all that in the bag, let's talk about how to apply aspects to our conlangs.
First decide if you even want aspect.
Yoruba lacks tense and instead relies on a ton of aspects to convey temporal information.[11]
[12] German on the other hand doesn't really bother with aspect.
Context[13] and adverbs[14] suffice in German.
Assuming you do want aspects, pick from this set.[15] Be minimal and for the most part
think in oppositions: perfective vs imperfective, perfective vs habitual and continuous on so
on, and then decide how your aspects will be marked - with inflectional morphology like
in Russian, or through auxiliary verbs and periphrasis like in English, or maybe you
could just make up different verbs for each aspect.[16]
FYI periphrasis is the use of separate words to convey a grammatical relationship that
otherwise would be conveyed by inflection.
Couple of extra pointers though.
In English, we can say 'I used to work here' but not 'I will used to work here'.
That is, the habitual aspect can't be applied to the future, only the past.
This is common.
Past tenses tend to have more aspectual distinctions than other tenses so think about mimicking
this in your conlang.
Also, try to combine tense and aspect markers.
Like how the Italian Imperfetto[17], conveys the past tense, habitual aspect and progressive
aspect all at once in a single affix[18].
Combining tense and aspect is naturalistic[19], marking them seperately is not.[20]
Now, these are beginner level guidelines but the more advanced amongst may wish to go a
little deeper.
Buckle in folks...it's about to get dense.
Thus far we've only talked about grammatical aspect but there's also lexical aspect - the
phenomenon whereby verbs themselves are inherently temporal.
Such verbs come, at least in English, in five flavours.
An Activity, like 'to walk', is defined as being a dynamic, atelic, durative event.
Dynamic meaning the event is an ongoing process which requires continuous input.
Atelic means the event has no clear endpoint; stop walking at any time and the statement
'I walked' holds true.
And durative means the event is conceived of as lasting in time.
An Accomplishment, like 'to build a bridge', is defined as being a dynamic, telic, durative
event.
It's a process, it has a clearly defined end point; the bridge is either built or not,
you can't cut off construction at a point and say the bridge is built.
And it has duration.
A Semelfactive, like 'to hiccup', is a dynamic, atelic, instantaneous event.
It's a process, it has no clear end-point, and it occurs instantaneously - or at least
we conceive of it as being an instantaneous event.
An Achievement, like 'to reach to a summit', is defined as being a dynamic, telic, instantaneous
event.
It's a process, it has a clear end point and it occurs instantaneously - one moment the
summit has not been reached and the next it has.
And a Stative, like 'to know', is defined as being durative and static.
It has duration but is a changeless state - once you know something it holds over time
with no further input.
I bring all this up to say that a conlanger should be aware that the lexical aspect of
a verb can affect which grammatical aspect the verb can take.
In English, 'I am walking' is grammatically correct but 'I am knowing' is incorrect.
Meaning English allows the progressive aspect to couple with activities but not with states.
Think about this with your lang.
Finally, no talk of aspect would be complete without mentioning Navajo.
In blatant disregard for my guidelines, Navajos aspect system features … wait for it … seven
modes, twelve primary aspects and ten sub-aspects.
All of which combine with each other in various complex ways.
The modes are: imperfective, perfective, progressive, future, usitative, iterative, optative.
They're called modes but apart for the future (a tense) and the optative (a mood) they're
actually aspects.
The usitative aspect tells us that an event takes place customarily whereas the iterative
aspect tells us that an event takes place repeatedly.
Which, I know, sounds like tomato-tomato but take a sentence like this:
Hastiin ná'ádlį́į́hgo, ch'ínáshdááh[21]
The first part is iterative; the implication is that the husband has been known to drink
on several occasions.
And the second part is usitative; leaving is the customary response to the husbands
drinking.
Then we got the primary aspects: momentaneous, continuative, durative, repetitive, conclusive,
semelfactive, distributive, diversative, reversative, conative, transitional, and cursive.
Here's what they all do[22], links in the description.
Some of my favourites are the semelfactive aspect, which kinda like before tells us that
an event is a single act in a repeated series of acts[23]; the conative aspect, which tells
is that an event was attempted[24]; and the cursive aspect, which tells us an event progresses
in a line through time and/or space.
Think 'along'[25]
On to the subaspect: completive, terminative, stative, inceptive, prolongative, seriative,
inchoative, reversionary, semeliterative.
Again here's what they do[26].
The seriative aspect is cool.
It tells us that an event occurs in sequence[27].
And so is the semeliterative aspect, which tells us that an event occurs one more time[28].
But the prize for best aspect has got to go to Hopi and it's segmentative aspect.
Brace yourself for this one … the segmentative aspect takes the thing conveyed by a verb,
repeats it, and stretches it out into a series of interconnected segments in a single dimension,
regardless of time or space or both.
It forms an acute angle[29] turns into it is zigzagging[30].
Trippy, right?!
And I could go on and on[31] but this video is getting long.
Links in the description … Laters.

What You Don't Know About Makeup Artist Kandee Johnson - Duration: 3:55.
There are a lot of makeup artists on the 'Tube these days, but few of them have had the impact
that Kandee Johnson has.
Johnson has been sharing her skills since 2009, and has become one of the most established
beauty influencers today.
As one of the earliest to jump on YouTube, Johnson led the way for other beauty gurus
to follow.
And while fame could have turned her into a diva, she's remained the best friend everyone
wishes they had.
Here's what even the most devoted fans probably don't know about Kandee Johnson.
Mommy blog beginnings
These days, Johnson is world famous for her beauty vlogs, but she originally started off
with a very different sort of online presence.
Before she transitioned to YouTube, Johnson started blogging in 2008 about what it was
like being a mom.
She slowly began branching out into beauty and style, but her first posts were all about
her kids.
Even after she had launched her YouTube channel, Johnson still made time to feature her children.
In a 2010 post, Johnson blogged,
"The greatest job you'll ever have is being a mom.
[…] Nothing leaves a legacy like a little soul that was loved, adored, and loved some
more."
We're sure her four kids would totally agree with their devoted mom.
Multi-talented maven
We know that Johnson can throw together incredible looks, transform her face into a famous icon,
and create an engaging YouTube tutorial, but it seems that Johnson has some other real
talents - including some musical chops.
She loves to play the piano, posting on Insta:
"Sometimes when my mind feels it has no words to make sounds from my mouth…my hands just
make sounds on the keys."
Johnson has even been writing her own songs, ever since she was a little kid.
Fresh-faced Fridays?
Anyone who has seen Johnson create one of her stunning transformations might expect
that the vlogger wears a full face of makeup all the time.
But when the cameras aren't rolling, Johnson often sports a fresh face.
When Celeb Secrets TV asked how long it takes her to get ready on a normal day, Johnson
replied,
"Some days I don't even wear makeup so it's like maybe five minutes...maybe some foundation,
maybe mascara, if we're lucky."
But she can definitely rock a red carpet look, in under an hour, saying,
"But like today, I mean I did it fast, it was like hair and makeup in 45 minutes."
A lot of celebs wouldn't leave the house without a full face of makeup - especially one known
for her beauty tutorials - but Johnson has fresh-faced days just like the rest of us!
No days off
A lot of people look at online celeb life as an easy job, but maintaining that YouTube
fame involves a lot of hard work.
Johnson revealed just how much time she puts into her brand, telling E! News,
"It's more than when I worked three jobs at one time.
I never get a day off.
I'm up editing until four in the morning.
It just never stops.
But it's amazing."
At least all that hard work pays off when you're doing something you - and your fans
- totally love!
Advice from a pro
Johnson never set out to become an internet legend.
In fact, she didn't even realize at the time that YouTube could be used to build a career.
These days, of course, there are plenty of people who are hustling to become social media
influencers.
But Johnson doesn't think they should be in it for the fame.
She dished some advice to those who are just starting out, telling Fusion,
"Make sure that you're starting YouTube because you want to help people, you want to entertain
people, not because you want to get free products or you want to be like YouTube famous."
She also advised,
"Talk like you're talking to your best friend or your sister.
When you start thinking like, 'This is my persona,' or 'I have to act cool,' you're
not likeable, and you're not relatable.
You're just being weird."
Hollywood bound?
Johnson has been adding to her resumé by hitting the big screen.
She announced her foray into acting in 2016, when she was cast as the voice of Mandy Sparkledust
in Trolls.
It seems pretty fitting that the brightly-haired troll would be played by Johnson, who frequently
sports bright tresses, herself.
"I get to be a voice in like a real giant animated thing, I mean granted I only have
a few little lines, but still I'm excited."
But she doesn't let that box office glamour go to her head, telling Hollywire,
"Like almost every moment where it's like a huge opportunity, like being here feels
surreal, getting to be doing a voice of a movie feels surreal, when I started YouTube
I had no idea."
Will the Los Angeles native transform into a full-fledged Hollywood screen queen?
For this rising star, anything's possible!

Yung Bans' "Round" | Lyrics That Don't Add Up - Duration: 2:27.
JACQUES: Hi. Yung Bans' song, 'Round,' contains a lyric that simply doesn't add up.
JACQUES: Well, actually the earth is round, but the belief that its flat is nothing new,
in fact, there is a group called 'The Flat Earth Society' full of 'free thinkers'
who subscribe to the notion that quote:
ANCHOR: The North Pole is at the center of most flat Earth maps,
with the ice of Antarctica holding everything in.
MAN: The basic concept is sound.
And one thing again, we absolutely know for a fact: this ain't it.
JACQUES: Hm.
JACQUES: Right now, what you're using your 'sense' of sight to see a video from the
International Space Station currently orbiting the earth.
See that curve?
It's a sign that the earth is in fact round.
JACQUES: Another example, here is a timelapse of a lunar eclipse, where the earth casts
its shadow on the moon.
The shadow is curved.
JACQUES: While we cannot say for sure whether or not Yung Bans is a 'flat earther,'
he wouldn't be the first MC to boast this club.
Atlanta's B.O.B is a big supporter.
JACQUES: Now 'flat earthers' encourage folks to do their own research because images
and videos can be faked...faked.
B.O.B even created a GoFundMe to raise a million dollars to launch
satellites into space to quote 'find the curve.'
At last check, Bobby Ray still has more than 900k to go.
JACQUES: It seems like people do not want to donate money to validating something
that was disproven hundreds of years ago.
NEIL: It's a fundamental fact of calculus and non-Euclidean geometry,
small sections of large curved surfaces will always look flat to little creatures that crawl upon it.
Well that my friends, does add up.
JACQUES: I'm Jacques Morel with Genius News, bringing you the meaning and the knowledge
behind the music.
Peace!

Kellyanne Conway Says Its AMAZING Trump Won With Everything "Rigged" Against Him - Duration: 4:32.
Kellyanne Conway went on Fox and Friends this week to help Donald Trump kinda run some interference
from all of the horrible news that has been coming out about his administration.
And during her little segment with them, not only was she behaving more erratically and
just plain weirder than usual, but she also said something that was incredibly interesting.
Here's the clip.
But this is incredibly important testimony because it does show that Americans in the
interest of accountability and transparency, do have a right to know what was going on
in the other side.
Sure, that woman lost the presidency, but just because she lost doesn't mean that we
shouldn't know everything that was happening on the other side, to rig the system, the
fix was in against candidate Trump.
And I'm just amazed ... I'm not amazed he won, because I was on TV saying it.
I've got all the tapes, if you want to see them, ever.
But the fact is that it's amazing that he won under the circumstances of this rigged
system.
People at the highest echelons of the FBI and the DOJ trying to deny him the election
and then once he won, during transition, trying to deny him a smooth transition in our democratic
process into his presidency.
So yes, it's incredibly amazing that Trump was able to win this election with everything
rigged him against him, right, Kellyanne?
Everything was rigged against this guy, and yet he still managed to win.
I think at this point, there's really no question that there was some rigging involved, but
any of that actually helped Donald Trump to win the election.
What Kellyanne is out there doing right now is trying to create the smoke screen for the
Trump administration.
Now, she came on the show to talk about Donald's latest target, and that is Bruce Orr from
the Department of Justice.
He wants Bruce Orr fired, now that he's got Peter Strzok fired, Lisa Page, I'm not sure
if she's just been re-assigned or if she's actually been fired, but now the new target's
Bruce Orr, because his wife worked for Fusion GPS and according to a Trump tweet this morning,
she also speaks Russian, so that's proof of collusion.
The president literally tweeted that out Thursday morning, she speaks Russian, so there's your
collusion.
He has gone absolutely insane.
Kellyanne Conway is doing everything she can to create this bigger smoke screen so that
people don't bother to look behind at all of the corruption of this administration and
it's not working.
Few people are falling for it at this point.
Yes, the hardcore maggots out there?
They're falling for it.
But they're going to fall for whatever this administration tries to sell them.
But average, everyday American citizens, moderates, independents, they understand what's actually
happening here.
They're not buying into any of this.
They do not believe that Bruce Orr did anything wrong, because even the FBI has had to come
out and say, what did he do that was wrong?
We can't find a single thing.
He got information that he thought might be worth investigating and he handed it off to
the FBI to do their job.
That actually was Bruce Orr's job: to work with people, including Christopher Steele,
whom he had worked with on other issues, and if he gave him anything that he felt was worth
investigation, Bruce Orr took it from that person, handed it off to the FBI and that
was his involvement.
That was it.
That was it.
And yet, somehow, people like Kellyanne Conway and Donald Trump want us to believe that this
man singlehandedly influenced the election.
Kellyanne Conway is desperate right now, and you can tell from her body language too.
She didn't feel comfortable saying the things that she was saying.
There was something very off.
If you compare that appearance to any other appearance she has given, there was something
odd about the way she was composing herself there.
You cannot deny that.
But either way, this is a very desperate woman trying to cover up for a very desperate man
who understands that the walls are closing in at a rapid pace.

Çağatay Ulusoy in the center of a new controversy - Duration: 3:06.
Çağatay Ulusoy in the center of a new controversy
Cengiz Semercioglu, who was left without the usual work after his gossip program was closed,
decided to continue to wag his tongue already on the pages of the tabloids.
And of course, Çağatay Ulusoy, who allegedly caught a swordfish on a tubular harpoon,
became the favorite target for him.
Cengiz broke out into an angry article about the protection of nature,
which caused a lot of ridicule among professional fishermen.
It turned out that spearfishing, which is practiced by Çağatay, is an official sport,
fish is not rare and is found in abundance,
and judging by the size of fishing gear, the actor did not violate any laws,
and he did not have the harpoon that was forbidden to use.
Actually, this was confirmed by Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ, telling reporters that they are very attentive
to such things with his friend, they use only authorized means, without balloons
and a tubular harpoon, and in general are against catching a tubular harpoon.
Moreover, if he and Çağatay see that someone is using such type of spear, then they report
this to the authorities since they consider this behavior to be criminal.
By the way, one of the fishermen in a commentary to Mr. Semercioglu's article noticed with
a grin that his four-year-old son understands more in fishing than a journalist and it would
be better for him to throw the pen far away from shame if he writes such ignorant things.

What if Someone Refuses Help? - Schizophrenia - Duration: 6:43.
Hey what's up I'm Rachel Star schizophrenic so what do you do if
somebody refuses help first off if they're a danger to themselves or others
police okay especially if they're a danger to you alright so if there is an
act of danger that this person might kill themselves
might kill other people might kill you you need to get the police involved okay
like you need to just putting that out there pretty strong moving on
and this doesn't even have to have mental disorders if you have someone in
your life but maybe not diagnosed you like all they're fine or normally but
they're planning on shooting a bunch of people police yeah now who is this
person so let's talk if it's your child all right um if they're under 18 and
they have a problem and you're the parent you do need to like step in like
go to the doctor go to a therapist now if they're like middle school the high
school that's where it starts getting a little trickier I remember my parents
once taking me to a therapist and I I hated it I did not want to go and I
hated the woman she was super weird and I was just like I don't want to go do
this so it gets a lot harder we're talking about an older teen all right to
you know 17 trying to control them like that again especially for like a bigger
teenager you need to call the police if they're a danger okay and I can't even
imagine how hard that would be to do do for your child but I think we've all
seen the news yeah so if possible sit him down talk to them
all right kind of find some middle ground is there
some way like maybe there's a certain type of doctor you want to try first
like maybe let's just go talk to a school counselor first all right and see
where that goes or they could be the opposite and like not what you know it's
even touch so school be like I want to go to a real doctor so talk to them
alright give a few different options don't just come and sit you have to go
to the doctor all right give a few different options like hey
we can go the doctor all right we can go talk to a therapist all right we can go
talk to you know throw out some different options there okay don't make
it don't like kind of corner the person and make them feel like you're just kind
of coming at them and gonna force this help on them you know and if they are
your kid you know maybe you can even kind of bribe somehow like look you go
to therapy we go to McDonald's after BAM now over 18 let's actually talk about
spouses because this um comes up a lot in questions to me where one spouse
really wants the other one to go and get help and that person doesn't want to
period that kind of gets into the marriage territory of you needing to sit
down and like say look something has to change like something has to and if that
person is violent towards children in any way you need to get the children out
of the house okay and like you need to if at any point this person might become
violent to the towards children in any way you need to just take them out go
stay with someone else take them out I know that's like super or like well
Rachel it's a little no no at any point any harm take them out okay um if it's
not that kind of situation you're really just going to sit down if it really is that situaiton
something has to change be supportive um be like hey I'll go
with you we can even try it like couples therapy first or if you don't want me
anywhere near the doctor if you don't want me to know anything going on that's
fine too because people are different some want someone right there beside
them some don't now a friend or an adult child there's only so much you can do
but being supportive offering to kind of help them stepping in and being like hey
you're acting different you know I feel like you have a problem you're on a
really self-destructive path what you don't want to do is enable alright if
you know this person is engaging in very self-destructive activities and for
instance you're giving the money to continue on with those self-destructive
activities you're enabling them and they're not gonna change
it really sucks and I've had to tell people this before but a lot of people
have to hit rock bottom
I've had to thankfully oh and that's what made me have to come home and like
actually I was 20 like that's what made me have to come home was I hit rock
bottom hard over Eastern Europe and that's was
like I have to go home because I'm gonna die here I don't people have to hit rock
bottom sometimes and that can be scary because some people don't come back from
that but if they were already on that self-destructive path at least you
stepping in and speaking up there was a chance no one wants to cut somebody off
and I've had to do it actually quite a few times with um you know friends and
people who come into my life with mental disorders and stuff because where you
know they're they became so toxic that it was affecting me and I had to just
like be like I had you'd like draw it ultimately like look I'm gonna step away
from you I'm sorry um because you are so freaking toxic and you're not getting
your ish together and I can't I can't be around you anymore because I can't
sacrifice myself for you I can't I'm sorry you're not my child
and you're not my spouse so I'm sorry it's not worth it at the end of the day
there's only so much you can do for other people just be a good friend you
know be supportive and again yeah sometimes being a good friend is cutting
someone off I'm Rachel star thank you for watching like subscribe share I
don't know whatever else you can do with videos post in places print out

Dame Stephanie Shirley meets The Pool's youngest feminist | Women We Love | The Pool - Duration: 10:03.
Hello, my name is Miranda. I'm seven years old,
and today I'm going to be interviewing
Dame Stephanie Shirley. Hello, Dame Stephanie.
Hello, Miranda. Very nice to meet you.
I really like school. Did you like school when you were my age?
Oh, I loved school, and really what... called
a swot. I love to learn, I love to do new
things. I'm very impatient with people
who are not interested in learning, and
so I thought school was absolutely
marvellous. Did you like school?
Yes, very much.
What sort of school do you go to? Is it a nice school?
Yes, very nice.
My favourite subject is history.
What were your favourite subjects?
Well, again, I'm very different to you. I didn't like history,
but I like maths and arithmetic and geometry and things like
that, and that was very important to me. I really enjoyed them.
I might be a history teacher when I grow up, but I'm not sure yet.
What did you want to be?
Well, because I liked maths and arithmetic a lot I was
going to be a mathematician and earn my
living at that, and when I grew up I knew
I wasn't really bright enough to do that,
so, I became a computer person and I
worked with computers and had a wonderful time.
Is it true the first computers were as big as a house?
Oh, they were as big as this room! And they were warm,
they had valves in them and you would warm your hands on.
And they were very expensive things and you
had to get yourself ready to go on the computer,
none of this, or doing it on your desk.
It was quite a different
way of computing, just as it's changing
now. It's changed a lot in my lifetime.
When you were growing up there were lots
of things boys told girls they couldn't do.
What do you say to them?
Well, I'm interested to hear what you say to them, but
the more somebody says to me, "You can't
do that," the more I want to do it. So, I'm
very stubborn and it really eggs me on,
you know, if they say I can't, I jolly well will.
Are you like that, or do you...?
Yeah.
...slide away. Yeah, I think you're going to stand up for yourself.
Do you think it was harder to be a girl when you were my age?
I'm not sure how much that has changed.
People are very nice to children,
generally, it's as you grow up, really, that the
world gets a bit tougher and things get
difficult. I think as a child at your age
I was very lucky. I had lovely foster parents who brought me up and they
really loved me dearly, and that's all
you're really interested in.
People used to think women couldn't do some jobs.
What did people say when you started working with computers?
Well, they didn't say very much. They laughed and they
smirked and behind my back, maybe, they
said a lot of rude things but it wasn't
expected for a woman to be starting a business, and certainly not in computers.
You know, women didn't do that sort of thing.
I think it's absolutely outrageous because women can do what they like
and think different things to men.
Yes. Keep at it!
I believe girls and boys are equal.
My hero is Emmeline Pankhurst. Who were your heroes when you were growing up?
Well, one of my heroines is Emily, as well, because
she really fought for votes for women
and that's pretty important. There are lots
of places in the world where women do
not have votes and so, although we have it easy today, I'm still fighting for
the ones that haven't got a vote. So, yes,
I agree with you. Emily, I think, was a very special person.
You had a very important job. If I wanted to do a very
important job, like being prime minister, what advice would you give me?
Work hard. Make friends, because friends are
very important in supporting you, and
without having people behind you, you
could never be a prime minister. It's not
a job I'd want, by the way. Would you want to be prime minister?
Maybe.
Maybe?
Yeah.
Yes. And what would you decide if
you were a prime minister?
That all women get the same amount of money as men in sports.
Right, yes, OK. That's pretty good. Good start.
My mum has a job. When you were the boss at your company,
why did you pick mothers to work for you?
I think, basically, because mothers like having something to do as well as looking after children.
You can do both, and by working with other mothers – I mean, I had a little boy
at that time – and it just fitted in and
we were all the same. There's a... teamwork.
Dame Stephanie, why did you call yourself Steve? Do you have any other nicknames?
Well, one nickname that I did have was "Bossy boots", and my foster parents called
me "Pickles," because I was always in trouble, I was always in a pickle, and I
think I've still got a bit of a sense of humour left, but Pickles hasn't been
used for a long time. But Steve instead
of Dame Stephanie is just to pretend that I'm a man, and so on the telephone
nobody knows who's going to come in, and it was a little bit of pretend.
Why did you want to pretend to be a boy?
Because nobody wanted to see me as a woman. They didn't think I was serious about
business and about life, and so, they were laughing at me setting up a computer business,
ha ha ha ha ha, so I pretended to be a boy. Would you pretend to be a boy?
Mmm....
What name would you have?
If I pretended to be a boy, I would do Michael because it's the nearest to Miranda.
Or Michaela or something? Yes. Miranda. That's good enough. Yes.
What did you do after you stopped working with computers?
Well, that was an interesting question because I didn't
just stop. I started doing something else,
and I started giving my money away and
I've become what's called a
philanthropist. I give money away, I give
time and energy and help other people...
Make the world a little bit better.
What did you like to do in your spare time?
Oh, I don't have any spare time! I really don't. I try to keep fit because as you
get older it's more and more important
to, sort of, keep yourself supple and
moving, and so, I go swimming as often as I can.
That's probably two or three times a week.
My friends and family are important to me.
Who are the most important people in your life?
In my life? Definitely my son. I think family relationships are so, so
important, but I was a refugee and so my
extended family – the sort of grannies, aunts and uncles and so on – I've lost them.
But family, I think, is important. I used to have pussycats. I'm a cat person, not a
dog person, and they were quite important to me. And when I was your age my dolls
were very important, and on the big journey from when I came to England from
Europe I lost my doll and that was a disaster, absolute disaster.
So, things can be important as well.
Why do you give lots of your money away to other people?
I've been very lucky, and it's only fair to share my money with
other people. So, it's a question of people... people were good to me and I try
to be good to others.
What do you do to help people apart from giving your money away to them?
Well, I've set up the school and I've given them a robot to help the children learn.
I've funded a lot of medicine for people who are sick. These are the sorts of things that give me
enormous pleasure, and the Bible says it's better to give
than to receive and it really is, I so enjoy giving things away.
Ummm....no, not really.
I think you've done marvellously, honestly.
Thank you....!
Thank you Dame Stephanie.
I hope to see you again.
Great pleasure. Thank you for having me

The American First Army Gears Up - Germany Retreats I THE GREAT WAR - Week 214 - Duration: 9:54.
Germany took a lot of Western Front territory in their spring offensives, but since July
the Allies have been pushing back bit by bit, and now Germany is forced to do something
German High Command had deemed unthinkable - this week Germany retreats.
I'm Indy Neidell; welcome to the Great War.
Last week the Allies launched the Battle of the Ailette and the Battle of Bapaume on the
Western Front, part of their new strategy of launching smaller attacks all along the
western front that the Germans would be unable to predict.
In Palestine, the Imperial Camel Corps played a ruse on the Ottomans, in preparation for
a coming attack that they would be unable to predict.
In Baku, the small British force wondered how they would defend the city against an
attack that was totally predictable.
One such attack came this week.
On the 26th, two Ottoman battalions supported by artillery attacked a British company on
Mud Volcano near Baku.
The British lost all their officers and 80 men.
Two more British companies were thrown in as reinforcements and the defense held, but
the Armenian battalions supposed to be there failed to turn up.
It was looking very shaky for the British there.
It was anything but that for them on the Western Front, though.
On the 26th, they began the Battle of the Scarpe, east of Arras.
Two years ago, this Somme battlefield had halted the Allies, but not now - the Canadians
fought their way right through it.
For example, in 1916, Delville Wood had stopped the Allies for weeks, now it fell in days.
British Commander Sir Douglas Haig was really using his armies very well at this point.
The Battle of Albert ended the 29th, but you can see the Germans got no rest.
The 1st, 3rd, and 4th armies were just going to keep hammering and hammering.
On the 30th, Charles Mangin and the French attacked east of Soissons, pushing the Germans
back across the River Aisne.
That same day 5 miles to the north the Americans captured Juvigny.
So this week the Germans withdraw 16km on a 100km front.
German Quartermaster General Erich Ludendorff rejected an appeal from his commanders to
fall back further.
This was because he feared a total collapse.
Allied Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch would say of Ludendorff on the 28th (Meyer), "The
man could escape now if he would make up his mind to leave behind his baggage".
At the end of the week, the Germans also begin evacuating the La Lys sector in Flanders in
the north, giving up all the ground they'd taken four months earlier.
Actually, on the 25th Foch wrote to Haig and congratulated him for widening British operations.
Haig wrote back saying that what he wanted to do was push to St. Quentin and Cambrai
while the Americans pushed north toward Mezieres.
The plan was to beat the Germans along a whole 130 km front and threaten their single lateral
railway from Valenciennes and Cambrai to Metz and Thionville.
Haig won Foch over to this, but this plan would mess with American Commander John Pershing's
plans.
Pershing, in command of the only weeks old American First Army, had been gearing up for
its first independent offensive against St. Mihiel, but that would now be downgraded so
that when it went off, and if it was a success, the Americans would have to stop advancing
at the base of the St. Mihiel salient, since they would be pushing northeast and that wouldn't
fit with Haig's big plan, and then quickly change sectors so the next push in Haig's
plan toward Mezieres could go off west of the Meuse river.
Pershing was actually on board with the change as long as his army was still autonomous.
Here's some other bits of Foch's overall plans: with the Germans pulling back from
the La Lys salient, they were exposing their railways up there that ran to the sea.
So now King Albert of Belgium, who'd been holding back his army since 1914, wanted to
put it into the game.
Foch suggested a Flanders attack to Haig and Belgian army Chief of Staff Cyriaque Gillain.
This would ideally take the heights east of Ypres and from there they could hit the Roulers
railway line.
So, to sum up... near the end of September the British would attack eastward against
the center of the Hindenburg Line, the French and Americans northward along the River Meuse,
and the Belgians and British up in Flanders.
Thing is, the Americans would have to open that offensive and would have the toughest
job.
First of all, whether or not the St. Mihiel attack was successful, Pershing was going
to have to pull his men out of there and into the new sector to go up west of the Meuse,
and that'll be fun logistics.
But see, the Germans had two main railway lines connecting their army with Germany itself,
and the southern one could handle differing capacities at different spots.
From Metz toward Verdun it could handle (Stevenson) like 200 trains a day, but the parts of that
line that crossed the Ardennes could only handle 80 or so, and in the section between
Mezieres, Carignan, and Sedan there was no other east-west route.
Now, this section of the railway is only 50 km from where the Americans would begin the
attack, and from the rear German defense lines, if they could be reached, it was only 18 km.
So theoretically the Americans would have a thinner belt of defense to fight their way
through, and were closer than any of the other allies anyhow.
However (Stevenson), "...precisely for these reasons the Germans knew they could not retreat,
and both the terrain and their defenses were forbidding.
On the eastern flank of the attack lay the unfordable River Meuse with wooded heights
above it.
On the western flank lay further wooded heights, the dense and tangled Argonne Forest."
And in between?
The high ground from Montfaucon back to Romagne.
We visited there in 2017 and I can tell you from personal experience that Montfaucon is
a serious commanding position.
So the Americans would have to advance uphill on positions covered by German artillery,
would have to pass four defensive lines, all with excellent machine gun lookouts, including
line three - the Kriemhilde Stellung, at the Romagne Heights, which was the local section
of the Hindenburg Line.
So that would be the Americans' job a few weeks from now, when that offensive kicked
off.
They were hoping that they would have the element of surprise with them, so that they
could at least overrun Kriemhilde Stellung before it could be reinforced.
You might wonder how that could happen - it would be by the breaking off of the St. Mihiel
attack and moving hundreds of thousands of men to where they were not expected to suddenly
turn up.
There was plenty of unexpected news at the moment though.
The New York Times blared that General Dmitri Horvath, hailed by the London Daily Mail last
month as "the man to save Siberia", declared the 25th that he was assuming control of all
Russian military forces in the Far East by coup d'état.
He had already set up a provisional government and proclaimed himself dictator.
Thing is, there were a bunch of independent military forces out there, Russian and otherwise,
more or less friendly to the allies but divided amongst themselves.
Horvath's rule would last only an hour or two, however, when Allied diplomats made it
clear that their forces would not support him.
The Allies weren't just in Siberia.
They had landed in force in Murmansk.
German General Max von Hoffman wrote of that, "if the Entente set up a Tsar in Russia,
then Russia will be closed to us" (Gilbert).
This week the Russian Bolshevik leadership signs a supplementary peace treaty with the
Germans in which the Russians promise to fight against the Allies in the north.
And also under treaty from this week, Germany has full control of all Red Navy ships and
facilities on the Black Sea, so that if Baku can be put in Bolshevik hands, Germany will
get a third of that city's oil production.
In return, Germany will prevent Finland from attacking Russia.
Lenin and the Kaiser were making common cause.
But you know, Lenin would have to survive for that to work.
And he was shot and badly wounded the 30th, to the point where it was unclear if he would
survive.
More on that next week.
Here's a note to end THIS week.
An As Salam newspaper on the 28th and the French paper "Le Temps" the 29th both
reported that the sheik of the Senussi, the Ottoman backed North African tribesmen who
harassed the Entente on the Libyan front before being defeated two years ago, arrived at Vienna
before heading for Constantinople.
He made the crossing from Tripoli to Pola in a German submarine, the first Arab leader
to do so, as far as I'm aware.
I found that quite interesting - thanks Rabih Rac for that tidbit.
So the week ends.
With more Allied advances in the West, as the Germans pull back to consolidate; a deteriorating
situation for the British in Baku, a brief coup in Siberia, and an attempt on Lenin's
life.
And Doug Haig's plans for a big new offensive soon to come, bigger than the local attacks
we've seen recently, bringing in the Belgians and kicking off with the Americans.
Now, the Americans had surprised many by fighting pretty well so far the past couple of months
now that they had joined the war in force, but this was gonna be some seriously tough
fighting.
I can't say what the tactical results will be, but I can say this - the Americans will
finally join the war in another respect; they will have tens of thousands of dead soldiers.

Advice on Moving in With Your Significant Other - Duration: 6:08.
- Hello, hello, hello my friends, Kaitlyn here!
And so you're thinking about moving in
with your significant other.
Maybe you're scared or excited, conflicted?
Wondering what it will be like?
Or if it's the right choice! (gasps)
Yep, yep, I have been there.
It is a crazy, emotional time.
And it is not as easy as movies make it seem.
So let's talk about it!
(upbeat electronic music)
So a little over two years ago,
my ex and I moved in together,
and it was a big deal.
We'd dated for four years up to that point
and for us, but mostly for him,
it was kind of a, we need to live together
for him to feel comfortable getting married.
Now, knowing what I know now,
that didn't turn out to be the best decision,
but I'm glad that we did,
because I learned a whole heck of a lot about myself,
about him, about our relationship,
and just about what it's like
to live with your significant other.
So I'm here to give you advice on what I learned
and hopefully it can make the decision and transition
easier for you!
First, if you are still in the questioning phase.
That's okay!
It's a really big commitment to move in with someone
and you can have reservations
for all kinds of reasons,
religious, geographical, financial, emotional.
All of them are valid.
My biggest advice here
is to talk about it with your significant other.
Tell them about your reservations
and work through it together.
If this is going to work,
they should be really understanding
and not demanding of you to do one thing or another,
but basically help you feel comfortable
taking the next step,
if that's what you ultimately decide to do.
Second, it's like having a roommate, but not.
With a roommate, there's this level of civility.
And you kind of feel guilted into establishing ground rules,
or you don't, and then you're kind of a terrible roommate
and there's probably a lot of resentment going on.
But you don't want that with your significant other.
Also I think it's a lot more like living with family
where you have our guard down.
And we're less considerate
about other people wants and feelings
and more concerned with our own comfort.
Which leads to fights
because you're just more comfortable with one another.
And you find yourself yelling at them
that you are sick of hearing the Fallout Four theme music
playing for the last six hours.
You gotta recognize
that you're not going to not fight if you live together.
That's kind of inevitable.
But you still have to be respectful of them as people.
Third, you're gonna find out some weird stuff about them
that you didn't know.
I don't care how long you've been with this person
or how many times you've stayed over,
or how many vacations you've gone on together,
there are always things that you are not gonna figure out
until you live with a person.
Maybe they only flush with #2s or not even then?
Or they're actually really irresponsible
with paying their bills.
Or they keep all their clothes on the floor
and just sniff them
to see which one smells clean enough to wear?
Who knows!
We have all got weird habits and quirks and stuff,
and you are now going to find out about them.
And they're gonna find things out about you too!
And maybe they'll point them out,
and it's gonna be stuff you didn't even think was weird!
So the key here is to have compassion and understanding
about the weirdness.
Setting ground rules
for how you'd like to see your household function is good,
but don't let it overwhelm you
so that you end up shaming the other person
for things that maybe they grew up with
or are used to doing.
But also, don't let them get away
with forgetting about their bills.
Fourth, boys are gross.
Or really, people are gross, it's not just boys.
I am a very organized person.
I have certain standards of cleanliness.
Sometimes they get lowered because I am sick or super busy,
but generally, I don't like to have
dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
I like having a clean bathroom.
And I keep all my dirty clothes
in a hamper, not on the floor,
and I fold them and put them away
within one day of washing them.
I like keeping the toilet lid down when flushing
because I imagine poop particles and germs
just flying around everywhere and getting on my toothbrush!
You may find that your significant other
does not have the same standards as you.
They may be higher.
They may be lower.
They may just be different.
Honestly, this one is just figuring out a good compromise.
And compromise here was just something my ex and I
could not do effectively because we were too different.
His messiness made me feel gross.
And my desire for cleaning and organization
stressed him out.
But the hope is that you can find a happy medium
if you do have significantly differing ideas
of what an acceptable level of cleanliness in your house is.
And finally, number five,
don't let anyone take advantage of you.
So before you move in together you may try to figure out
who's gonna do the dishes and who's gonna cook
and who's gonna clean the house
and just have everything figured out.
And it may all work really peachy at first,
but after a month or two
you may find that you just have different ideas
of how home living is supposed to go.
But the key here is to not let you and your standards
be taken advantage of.
Whether that's making you do all the housework and cleaning
or feeling forced into providing financially
in a way that you hadn't initially agreed to.
Just anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Lay down some ground rules,
and do your absolute best to stick to them,
and then periodically reevaluate them
based on what's going on in your lives.
Because things do change
and sometimes you can't hold up to
what you'd originally agreed to,
but instead of secretly resenting one other,
it's better to talk it out.
Basically it's what anyone and everyone
would tell you about relationships: you need to communicate!
Communication is vital
to making your relationship and your living together work.
Bup-a-dah-dah!
Okay, so those are five things that I learned
and I think are important
when moving in with your significant other.
I really wish you the best of luck and congratulations!
This is a big step, but you got this!
Just remember to talk it out.
For the question today,
I want to know what your questions are
about moving in with your significant other.
And I'll do my best to answer them down in the comments.
And as always you can check me out
on these other social media sites
and if you haven't already, subscribe
and hit that notification bell
so you know the moment there's a new video.
And I'll see you guys next Thursday, bye!
