Hey guys, okay, so here's a short introduction to my AR-Wing here Put together. Now I bought this a while ago. I bought this before I bought it before I bought the big one And I bought it because look at it. It looks awesome. I'm sort of shamed I know a lot of them look like this anyway, but it just looks awesome. I mean the wing does look good But I know it's not an easy one to fly And I've actually got first-hand experience of that now and not being that easy to fly it's got this private tape because what I did I set it all up once and Because I couldn't get the servos working. I couldn't get them working properly Meaning like it's got to work in like a couple of ways on this if you're gonna have it in any sort of assistant mode be it GPS returns home like this, but you want your servos to work So if it starts going down, you know, the Service has got to move in order to pull it back up again a bit banked It's gonna be corrected and whenever I did one one was like going wrong or you know One of them would just go like hard up And nothing else was going on. It was just all wrong and I couldn't get it figured out But eventually I've managed to do it the servo the Servo system changed 1.9 or 2 but it changed an eye now and that's just made it really easy for me now to be honest with you I couldn't just say to you. Hey, this is how I did it because what it seemed to be was I couldn't get it figured out And I played around played around played around eventually works, but I didn't remember exactly how I did it But the nice thing about it is I can Look at the settings in the radio and everything else and see now what I do see is in the radio I've set my your Different it's opposite. So if I go left on the or it goes right, but now everything works everything works on it But I needed to I will figure that out and do it the correct way it makes no difference I don't use your anyway apart from excess and the on-screen display menu and as I know that I just do the opposite rather than if there's a Menu item here, and I you're that way. I just you're this way instead and I get into that. So not a problem Everything else the same Yeah, but this is got a flight control in it It's when I first tried to try to put one together have it working looks a bit messy with the wiring But hey, don't worry about it. It's a nice clear picture. That's what we need. There's no interference And it works So yeah, I did I sat up at the power distribution board and a flight controller But now I've moved to this F405 wing because it's a it's a good easy one It's it's it's good. It's it's easy. It's good. It's got a Everything I need on here for this build and more, you know, I've not even set up the waypoint mission I've not done anything like that yet. The maidens is gonna come after this video but This is just been a you know, it's just been a little bit fun to fly today. It's been quite good So I've got a GPS module in here It's not the one I wanted I did put this in my skyhunter, but for some reason it kept it was working Then it wasn't working. That's been something I was doing But I put a different GPS in there and it worked fine. So I just thought okay I'll just leave this one out.  I mean, it's about 12 grams this Maybe it was only about four and a half five grams, but it's working great. I was doing good there I've got a camera switcher because I've got the GoPro. I've got a hero 4 in the front there and I got the little Little swift micro in there at the minute. I do like this. I like the idea that I can Put different cameras in there, you know, I do like that idea. That's pretty good So just try out other cameras and be quite good I'm using the TBS. I've taken this off my multirotor This VTX is just a TBS VTX 200 milliwatts keep it on the gym the most of the time Because I didn't really need it any higher. You fly close around you and you know with 600 milliwatts You get a lot of reflections. It's not really worth especially where I fly There's a big old building metal building the council building and I get you know I get inference from that anyway, especially on 2.4 gigs because I've noticed that with the receiver For the Skyhunter So yes, I'm using 8xR In here, I'm sure it's free sky high-fast sky I should say and then the Matek Matek We've got a 2.2 amp battery that's round about right in the center of gravity But I can only I can only fly it manually I can't fly in any assist modes at the moment because I cheated yesterday Because I decided I just wanted to get this up in the air and I cheated and rather than me taking This out of here because it's holding on to the SC which isn't underneath here The motor's here I just copied the gyro Details Gyro data from my file that I save, you know whenever I build a model now and I get it going It's all good I just do a default in this command line interface and then save that to a notepad file and call it whatever Whichever one it is and because I didn't want to just set this up and the accelerometer on the bench Which I've probably been better off doing I I just chucked it in on the CLI And so that's what this has been set up to this gyroscope. So I can't use anything I can ever use manual basically But that's all right. I'm happy. I'm happy with that. I will get it set up properly. I'm gonna do that tonight So But so there we go. So we got the ATX we got the camera switch and I don't run this today I'll just had it in the front for the weight the GoPro. I don't run it today Just just in the front for the weights. I can make sure I'm doing that correctly. I Have actually got a bit of them Like this this phone me stuff to go down the back here just to keep it on nicely in place And I put tape over it as well when I fly it just in case it pops off Yeah, so there's the antennas for the ATX-R ATX-R I should say So there I've used a different motor because I was too scared to well There's two reasons actually why because I actually put the other motor on that came You know with the kit of this I put it on 2.3 KV But the problem is that the stem is a little bit longer and a lot of it is Doesn't have any thread so to put a Prop with this size hub on it this thickness hub depth of hub It just wouldn't go down So that was rubbish means I had to go and buy special props just for that for that motor. Yeah So I think that this is a 1400 KV because I thought to myself as well Well, you know 2.3 on 4s is gonna be wow ripper. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to cope with that So I put a lower KV motor on it to tame it down a little bit and it's also a little bit heavier than the other motor And I said that it's just those were just noted that these multi-star 1400 KVs are quite a bit heavier Yes, that's it. Yes, I mean as I can use any my six inch multi roti even a seven inch prop on this I'm sure I put some LEDs on there. Nothing fancy. They all come on reds when it's armed and We've got red red and these two are blue and it's not on the natural fads. I'll just power it up I know it's on the bench, but you need to switch to arm it arm the motor So we're not gonna be going anywhere. We're doing anything It may look a bit messy, but it's not that messed up There you go guys just a little look at it little It's not a lot going on there. I know the wires look messy, but the road twisted up, which is nice So we keep the interference out The LEDs on the back then that you can see, so if I just arm it My throttles all the way down. It won't arm with the throttle up anyway, so There we go. So we can have that as we're flying around Well, we can just Just turn them off But they normally they come on with manual mode Like that or just lights on by themselves. Let's just disarm that scene. I wouldn't even know it was armed like that, but Through the LEDs, I know it's found There we go, so that's it. That's my little I look like I'm not the tidiest, but you know a few more builds maybe and I'll be getting a bit tidier I've stuck on the old No protection so I don't expect I'm gonna be treating this as Delicate liars other pilots that fly these things, but I tell you what it was great flying it. It was a I did it manual. There's no manual mode. There's no auto launch or anything on this at the minute Might consider it. I'm not gonna give it a few more goes The way I looked at is that this is gonna be quite hard to break this VTX We've got this little stubby antenna on it, so that's probably gonna take it It's got a it's got a cable tie cross here as well And it's got a rubber glue So that's quite good, but this one move it's just got hot glue It's gonna be easy to break so if it does get into the fact that I'm not these operate these up I'll put the auto watch on Okay, but I'd like to get up to that point of breaking these You know breaking the glue and then I'll redo it and put the auto watch on There you go guys. That's it. I'll I'll put the maiden video up a little bit later. Cheers for watching

And then we're gonna get into that youthful fun and flirty girl. You know what I'm saying. First thing we're gonna get into is the Versace Crystal Noir. And I don't know why I have not. I just got put on this like a month ago. And when I first sprayed this girl baddie luxury. A girl that's empowered and then is well put together and knows who she is. That's this thing. It smells so good. It's so warm. And you would think it would smell like that mature like strong scent because it's a noir. And it's not like that. It's it's a little bit of a hint of powder to it but it's it's still musky and warm at the same time. I don't really know how to explain this but it smells so good. If you know a girl that is very very like social. She's always going out and that is very sure herself and very empowered, sexy, confident. She is going to love this Versace Crystal Noir. And let's take a moment to appreciate the packaging. I just really love the crystal design as the cap. I love the dark darkness. Y'all know I love that dark thing.

It smells so good. Like top tier like getting money girl. Like don't play with her. This is the ultimate getting money thing. It smells so good and it's so affordable. It's only $45 y'all. They made high concentrated perfumes that last a long time. So I can really take appreciation to that because I like when perfumes are definitely affordable but they still last.  I would definitely recommend Onyx. Notes on here. The top note is citrus raspberry. The heart is jasmine and gardenia and the base is amber and honey. It's a very musky and floral and that's why I like it so much. But if you smell white say Libre that's a very popular saying you are going to love this because it smells exactly the same. I'm like I smell this before. I swear my nose is just my nose is top tier because I be like I smelled that before. I know that is. I know it. I knew it. But anyways yes y'all.

Okay. This is Angel by Mugler Y'all. I remember when I smelled this when I used to work in breakfast modeling because actually one of my supporters actually wrote me and she was like have you ever smelled the Angel by Mugler. I seen it on Rebel Sense and I smelled this when I was like 18 and when I was fragrance modeling. So this is a very mature sense. So I wasn't reaching for it. I'm like no this smells too mature for me. I mean I'm just not doing it. So I'm like okay it's on Rebel Sense. Let's see what it's giving me and baby it's giving me.

Hello everybody, hooded Cobra Commander 788 here and it's time for another comic book Wednesday. We're back with another review of the G.I. Joe comic book, that's G.I. Joe A Real American Hero published by Marvel Comics in the early 80s. And we're going to look at G.I. Joe Number 5, the fifth issue in the series. Before we get started, I want to remind everybody to go ahead and smash that subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up if you like it. And if you're watching this video from any website other than YouTube, I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a little trip over to the hooded Cobra Commander 788 YouTube channel and hit the subscribe button. I've got a lot of great new reviews coming up and you don't want to miss any of them. So let's look at G.I. Joe Number 5, starting with the cover. Right on the cover we see the MOBAT tank attacking some Cobra soldiers. At last we get to see a vehicle. I've been waiting for this ever since the first issue. We haven't seen any of the G.I. Joe vehicles in action. The blurb on the cover says, featuring blazing combat in Central Park. Well as we read the comic book we will find out that the combat isn't quite so blazing, but we'll get to that. On the splash page, which isn't really a splash page, we get a small panel with another cross section of the pit, the G.I. Joe underground base. And at the vehicle level, we have one vehicle, the MOBAT tank. I don't know what they did with the rest of them, but we have only the MOBAT tank at the base right now. In the larger panel we have a title, Tanks for the Memories, and it's a pun based on the song popularized by Bob Hope. Larry Hammer I guess is kind of known for his puns. So this will not be the only pun that we get in this comic book series. We have a creative team of Larry Hammer, the scripter, and Don Perlin on pencils. Don Perlin was the artist for G.I. Joe number two, which I liked very much. We open up with Steeler, Clutch, and Breaker cleaning the tank. And they are showing off the attributes of the tank to Scarlet. And of course Scarlet is unimpressed. She sees tanks as nothing more than big, useful tools. But the guys, of course, are all fascinated by the electronics. We learned some features of the MOBAT tank, such as the fact that it can submerge underwater for a short time. And it has for some reason a loudspeaker. Scarlet does not care. And really nor do I. And nor should you if you're a collector of the toys, because the MOBAT tank toy that Hasbro put out had absolutely none of those features. It really is a lot of techno babble on features of this tank, most of which we've never heard of before and we will never hear of again. General Flag has a plan to have the Joe's drive the MOBAT tank in a parade to prove to the upper brass that it is indistinguishable from any other tank. Before doing this, he sends a memo to General Austin via Courier. And the Courier goes to the airport and his briefcase is scanned. And somehow from that X-ray scan, Cobra is able to read the message inside the briefcase. What this scene is intended to do, I think, is show a little bit of cloak and dagger. It shows that Cobra has secret operatives everywhere, just waiting to opportunistically pick up some secret information. So now Cobra knows that the MOBAT will be in a parade, and so General Flag's plan has already failed. We cut to the parade, where General Flag and other top brass are in the parade stand watching the parade go by. And they're with this really weird bald guy who cuts in with a non sequitur about the Heimlich maneuver. I think this is supposed to be Ed Koch, who was the mayor of New York City between 1978 and 1989. That's kind of random, but I think that's who that's supposed to be. So the MOBAT tank is behind the Springfield marching band. This is kind of important. This is the first time that Springfield is mentioned. And as we will later learn, Springfield is very important to the Cobra organization. Behind the MOBAT tank is a float commemorating the USS Nautilus. The Nautilus was the first nuclear powered submarine, and the first submarine to do a submerged transit to the North Pole. We also learned that the MOBAT tank is not carrying any live ammunition. So if anything goes wrong, they have nothing to fight back with. However, Steeler is using the technology in the tank that's very expensive and paid for by the government to check out the girls in the high school marching band. It's a high school marching band. High school Steeler, you pedo? No, not that pedo. The comic book had some moments when it was a bit less than classy. And this is not a shining moment in the comic book's history, nor in Steeler's character development. So the parade stops, and the marching band surrounds the tank with banners. I guess to do a magic trick to make the tank disappear. And then a trap door opens up in the Nautilus float, and it moves forward to swallow up the tank, and oh my god, it's a trap!  It's a trap that couldn't possibly work. There's nothing about this trap that could prevent the Joes from doing exactly what they did, which is floor it and drive the tank right out of there. Seriously, how did Cobra expect this plan to work? It had no chance. So the tank speeds off, and Clutch is driving. Clutch is driving. He is the driver of the vamp, and Steeler is the tank commander. I always just assumed that Steeler could drive the tank himself. I didn't think the tank needed another driver, other than Steeler up there in the top gun. But if it did need another driver, it would have been nice if the toy, Mobat, had accommodated another action figure. But it doesn't. It only accommodates one, and the one that it came with was Steeler.  The Mobat is stuck in traffic, and other drivers will not move for them to get by. And with that, I'd like to make a note of something that G.I. Joe seems to hate. G.I. Joe hates drivers. This isn't the only instance. As we go forward, we'll see other instances where the G.I. Joe comic book seems to hate any drivers who are not driving G.I. Joe vehicles. So Clutch comes up with a brilliant plan to get around this. He just pops up on the sidewalk and drives on the sidewalk. And of course all the people on the sidewalk, they have to scurry out of the way. Which brings us to another thing that G.I. Joe hates. G.I. Joe hates pedestrians, apparently. So whether you are legally driving a car on the road, or standing on the sidewalk, if G.I. Joe is around, you better watch out. You know, jump out of the way, because here they come. They use that loud speaker feature, which did not come on the toy, to warn everybody to get out of the way. And stealer comments that the speaker is louder than their cannon. Well, that's something odd to say. Maybe that'll come up again. Cobra Commander, who is hiding in an undisclosed location, orders his marching band soldiers to hurry up and get that tank and eliminate anybody in the way, because the longer they take, the more it jeopardizes the mission. Of course, I mean, somebody's gonna notice a marching band running around town carrying, you know, automatic weapons. In the meantime, Breaker, Steeler and Clutch have found a pretty good hiding spot for the MOBAT, and it seems like all they have to do is just hang loose there and they'll be fine. But Clutch says he overheard something. The Cobra Radio man was talking directly to Cobra Commander, which means that Cobra Commander must be nearby. Clutch figures this out and not Breaker, even though Breaker is the communications officer. How exactly did Clutch figure this out? His main distinguishing quality seems to be his sexism, so he must have figured it out through sexism powers. So the team decides that they want to lure the Cobra Troopers out into the open, and they decide to do that in Central Park.  The marching band tracks the tanks to Central Park, but when they make it to Central Park, it's nowhere to be found. We see some high school jocks who get their comeuppance for making fun of the marching band and calling them nerds. When the tank emerges from the lake, it had been submerged down there, it knocks their boat over, and the cannon fires with a great blam! But how did the tank fire its cannon when it wasn't carrying any live ammunition? Maybe that question is answered by one of the crazy features that was explained to us earlier in that long, long exposition. The Mobat, with our three heroes, rejoins the parade, and now they have prisoners. The marching band is marching with their hands in the air. As the tank is going by the viewing stand, with General Flag and the top brass looking on, the sensors detect electrical activity nearby. And again, it's clutch and not breaker that detects this. So I guess that brings us to the third thing that G.I. Joe hates. G.I. Joe hates breaker. They won't even just let him do his job, it's clutch that takes over. Reasoning that the electrical activity must be coming from Cobra Commander's secret hiding location, clutch does the only thing that he could reasonably do with only a few pages left to go in the comic. He turns the tank and rams the viewing stand. That's right, he turns the tank in the direction of a viewing stand that is holding U.S. Army generals, and he rams it. General Flag is the only general that doesn't run for it, he pulls his pistol, and I guess he's going to shoot the tank, I'm not sure. But clutch turns out to be right, Cobra Commander is hiding under the viewing stand. Fortunately, it wasn't some kid's radio giving off the electrical signal. So he rams the viewing stand and Cobra Commander is flushed out. General Flag leaps from the stand just in time. Let's pause for a moment to make note of this. Clutch nearly killed his commanding general. General Flag faces off against Cobra Commander, with Cobra Commander using some Girl Scouts as human shields. Yes, he is the bad guy in case you hadn't noticed. Cobra Commander shoots General Flag and only grazes his temple. You know, there's a mistake that I think people make about the marksmanship of Cobra. It's not that they're really bad shots, they're really excellent shots at grazing people's temples. Later back at the pit, Scarlet is dressing Flag's wound, because that's women's work, I guess. And Clutch explains how it is that they got the Cobra soldiers to surrender at Central Park when they had no live ammunition. They simulated cannon fire by using the loudspeaker to amplify Breaker popping a bubble. It's a good thing that earlier Steeler mentioned that the loudspeaker was as loud as their cannon, otherwise we just wouldn't buy that. So I guess all that techno babble at the beginning of the issue was important after all. What was good about this issue? First, we get to see a vehicle, which we have not seen since the first issue of the comic book series. And this is a great view of the MOBAT. And Cobra is back. We get to actually see Cobra in action again, and not just talked about like in the previous issue. Also, Springfield is mentioned, and that's very important to the entire G.I. Joe story. We get a little bit of character development. We find out that Steeler is a pedo. But we also get to see General Flag face down Cobra Commander. What's bad about this issue? Well, once again, we don't see the whole team in action. And we get a look at a vehicle, but we only see one vehicle. The whole story seems rather contrived and implausible. I mean, you have an army tank and an armed marching band running around Manhattan, and apparently there is no New York police department, and nobody reports it. Maybe New Yorkers really are as jaded as they're reputed to be. Also, General Flag's plan is dumb. Is there really no other way to show top brass that the MOBAT looks like any ordinary tank? I don't know, maybe send them some pictures or something? My final judgment is that this issue is just so-so. It has some good points and it has some bad points. It's mostly forgettable, except for a few high points. I mean, we do get a better look at the MOBAT tank, and we get some hints at things that will be important later on. But as far as recommending this issue, I could take it or leave it. That is my review of G.I. Joe number five.

The low-back merger is a sound change which describes the merging of the two low-backed vowels uh and or through this process which such as caught and caught have become homophones. Let us listen. In North America, the low-backed merger is complete in the majority of Canada, the west of the US, Western Pennsylvania and in Eastern New England. However, in the upper Midwest, the low-backed merger is in a transition stage where the merging of the two vowels has yet not been completed. As we can see here, the low-backed merger has opened a new space on the vowel chart, with the effect that low front vowels can now be retracted to a low central position. For example, the Canadian shift affects words such as stack which are now pronounced like stock in the north of the US. Even though the low-backed merger affects the speech of a large number of people, over the borders of the US it is not prestigious. In teaching, American English varieties without the low-backed merger are preferred. A different type of low-backed merger can be found in standard Scottish English where the same vowels are affected but the result is a short mid-low-back or.


Let's face it, nothing is more emotionally devastating that when you've invested in a person, especially physically, you've invested emotionally when they pull away, when they start to breadcrumb when they go, when they disappear. And certainly this is a search term many women look for on the internet. It's one of the top search firms searches as to why do men pull away? Now, some of the common narratives that many of those out in the YouTube universe will suggest to women that when a man pulls away, you go live your fantastic life, you don't share your feelings, you don't address the problem that this person has done something rather cruel. Why don't you think about this? When somebody stonewalls a relationship, when someone pulls away after they've made an investment in a relationship, that's a rather cruel thing to do to another human being. And so I'm not a big proponent. I don't think any of you should play the games that you've been taught how to get your ex back by living your full life and show on social media how you're having such a good time without him. Nor should you, like I know a lot of YouTubers will suggest never share your feelings with a man because that puts you in a subordinate position that gives him all the power. And I'm here to suggest that's just nonsense. I think it's time that women need to tell men to grow up. I really do believe this. I think there, now I will say this and I'm gonna get into, listen, I'm gonna go on to a rant about why I think men should grow up. At the same time, I think women need to grow up too. There is a lot of people out there in the dating realm talking about how women act very entitled, how they only go after a small percentage of the elite type of men, which is not true. And certainly there's a lot of women out there that are partying it up and they're certainly sleeping with a lot of different men. But that doesn't apply to our demographic, that demographic of the midlife folks. So ladies, if you're listening to advice out there that's really geared to a 20, 30 or even 40-year-old, that's not going to apply. That's not really gonna address our demographic. Those of us that are in midlife, which is after baby making years and before retirement. So we have to look at advice from a completely different vantage point. And I think by the time a man hits 40, 50, 60 or either 70, he hopefully treats women with a sense of respect. He treats another human being with a sense of courtesy, being conscientious, being respect, I said respectful, okay? So this is what's, I think this needs to be addressed. And so when a man pulls away, I think this is the time to call him out on his behavior. And at least if nothing else, express that this isn't acceptable and this is rather a cruel thing to do to another human being is to pull away. Now, before we get into pull away too deeply, let's differentiate between the early stages of dating where you barely know someone and you choose not to pursue a relationship. That's not pulling away. I know we call this ghosting. I know we call this bread crumbing, but the reality is, is if two people are in those first five to 10 dates where there hasn't really been a significant investment with that person, then I don't believe we should expect too much from a person that we haven't actually spent a significant amount of time together. And I was watching a video by Jay Shetty and Lewis Howe. I'm mentioning this quite frequently. What I mean is lately I've been thinking about this. Jay Shetty in this book, Eight Rules for Love. I don't know if he talks about this book but he talks about it in the podcast. He says it takes about 40 hours of face to face time just to beginning to get to know someone and it takes about 200 hours of face to face time. And this is quality face time. This doesn't include sleeping in the same bed but not talking to one another. It takes about 200 hours to really get to know someone as a decent friend. So I want you to recognize that for those of you who are in the beginning stages of dating, it's quite natural to have some doubt, to have some uncertainty and to pull away. Okay, now this is where it gets really tricky because again, men are biologically driven to spread their seed. You all know this. So what do men do in the beginning of the dating process? They come on strong, they love bomb, they profess their love.   So it's incumbent upon you to recognize this about men. Now, I know it's incredibly attractive to hear all these wonderful things about you.  I've been saying for years, it takes 100 hours of face to face time just to build the first layer of trust. Okay, so let's assume you've invested 100, 200 hours with each other. And now you see an energetic shift. You start to feel him pulling away. Most likely, the two of you haven't established the deep roots of trust. Now, my private coaching program, I really dig into this with my clients. I want them to understand the five elements to developing deep trust in a relationship. So if you need some support with that, check out a link right here to schedule a free discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. Developing trust requires some understanding of the mechanics to a healthy, happy relationship. So why does this happen? Why would someone pull away? Well, the reality is, is for those of us in midlife, many of us are just to begin, especially those of us who have gone through a divorce, roughly about 75% of singles who are over 45 years old or divorced, that usually sets off a series of emotional traumas. First off, our childhood wounds and adult traumas begin to surface right around midlife. What is that called? Midlife crisis.  This is the midlife crisis. This happens around age 40 for men and women alike. And then since there's a significant percentage of people going through a divorce in their 40s, 50s and 60s, guess what else happens? There's an unraveling of the tapestry of your old life and many people don't know how to navigate life on their own in this age demographic. So what happens is if they've not addressed their childhood wounds or their adult traumas, usually the ending of a significant relationship, what happens is they bring those problems to their next relationship and for many men, they have a fear of diving in deeper with another human being. So they actually, and this is challenging because for many men and women, they want companionship, they want connection, they want sex, but they're only capable of so much. Now the sad part for our age demographic is probably 60, 70, 80% of those singles out in the dating marketplace are rather wounded. And while they're good human beings, these are good men and women alike, they're rather wounded. So what happens is, and this is true for women as well, they bring these wounds to the relationship and it causes the other person to pull away, to go to disappear, it causes the other person to get overly attached to another human being. I see this mostly from women, they get highly attached to an outcome because they make a lot of assumptions and they create a lot of expectations of what this new relationship should be like because there's this hope that it's gonna solve all the problems from the previous relationship or relationships. So we have a huge demographic of app, emotionally stunted human beings, emotionally constipated human beings. We talk about emotionally unavailable or we talk about avoidant attachment style. Men oftentimes get labeled as the avoidant attachment style. And by the way, there's some valid reasons why that happens but the problem is is very few people are actually dating with a level of consciousness from the very beginning, establishing radical honesty in the early stage of dating, laying your cards on the table and I'll talk about what this means and the rules of engagement. So let me start with the rules of engagement for a moment. The rules of engagement is basically establishing what is the standard we are going to have if we're going to explore a relationship together and ladies, the minute a man wants to have sex with you you have every right to establish your standards. Let me repeat that. You have every right to establish your standards once we have physical intimacy. Now, let me just say this, this isn't just for your benefit this is for his benefit too. You see, we've, I think here in United States I can't speak for the rest of the world but we've taken sex down to a physical experience and there's this complete neglect over the emotional experience that happens through physical intimacy. There's a scene in the movie Vanilla Sky where Cameron Diaz is driving incredibly fast in a car with Tom Cruise almost to the point I believe there's a car accident but she talks about the bonding effect of once you're physically intimate with a woman you have bonded with this person and if you're operating from a disingenuous place that's a very inconsiderate thing to do to another human being. So first, the rules of engagement simply means establish your standards of when it's to establish the standard as are we in a committed relationship? Do we call each other boyfriend and girlfriend? How often do we see each other and what is the end goal of this relationship? What is the end goal? Is it to move in together or to get married? Now a lot of people go, oh my God, that's why I barely know you. Well, guess what? If you barely know the person then you shouldn't be sleeping with someone that you're not willing to invest in them. Call them boyfriend and girlfriend, make a commitment and talk about the future. If you're not willing, this is to the men listening to right now and ladies, I want you to tell this to the men.  If two people wanted to have sex, they had to make a strong commitment to one another. I'm here to establish something called my dating vows. Folks, if you aren't familiar with my dating vows, I'm gonna encourage this as part of the rules of engagement. Have you ever heard the saying women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of commitment? Well, that is rather true.  So you think about it, sex these days happens well before any genuine sincere commitment happens. So the dating vows is simply an agreement between two people. This is part of the rules of engagement. I agree to explore the process. This is an agreement the two of you make together. I agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious within the next three to six months. I agree to be monogamous while sexually, while we have regular sex together, that's a fair thing to ask. I agree not to actively seek to meet and date others while we're in the dating process, including taking down our dating profiles. I agree to speak up if this isn't working for me versus ghosting, pulling away or disappearing. And lastly, I agree to invest regular time together getting to know you, which looks like whatever you establish as your rules of engagement. Okay, that's the first piece. The second piece in this equation is laying your cards on the table. Folks, we have to recognize that past experiences indicate future experiences. So unpacking someone's past relationships is a vital, is critical to get a sense of who this person is because keep in mind, when you're meeting total strangers, you don't know anything about their backstory and here's the scary part. Even if I'm sharing this suggestion that's not a guarantee, the scary part is they can tell you whatever they want. This is why I'm a big proponent of even doing background checks and doing, search their social media footprint to get a sense of who this person is. If you're going to physically explore a relationship with someone, you have every right to ask as many questions about their past to get an insight into how they operate in the future. And one thing I've observed for men and women alike is that they take little or no ownership on their part to the ending of a previous relationship or relationships. They take little or no ownership. So if you take no ownership in your past, if it's always someone else's fault and you go, oh my God, this person is so wonderful. They got abused by their ex-partner. They were cheated on. They were emotionally beaten up by their ex-partner. I'm going to be the loving partner to save them. Let me just give you some insight. If you're listening to this right now and you in the future accept someone who throws their previous partner under the bus, be warned right now because guess what they'll do to you when they end the relationship with you, they're going to throw you under the bus. So laying your cards on the table is about talking about your past. And last but not least is radical honesty. Radical honesty is being vulnerable, being authentic, being transparent. Transparency, by the way, we need transparency. I want you to think about this. If something is material to a relationship with someone else, don't you think they have a right to know how your lifestyle, your actions, your previous behavior, your current financial status could affect someone in the future? It's really sad that we're living in a world where we are using people. That's right, people are getting used. It's very sad. I think part of the problem is with the abundance of perceived opportunity through the internet, through dating apps, it's given permission to treat human beings as disposable. So I'm here to, by the way, and I'm sharing all this because if you want to change your narrative, lead by example, transparency, if it's material, you share it. Authenticity, look, don't you wanna be your true self instead of pretending to be someone else? I'm here to encourage authenticity and vulnerability is sharing those insecurities. So vulnerability is also calling people out on bad behavior. That's what radical honesty does. So coming back to the person who's pulled away, and I guess if it's the first couple of dates, that's just kind of natural par for the course. But if you've invested emotional time with another human being and they do something cowardly like bread crumb or start to pull away, then have some, if you catch them before they've disappeared or pulled away, have some real dialogue about what can we do to improve our relationship together? I want you to write this down. What can we do to improve our relationship together and have a serious dialogue? Because most of you are having such surface level dialogues. How's your day going? Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day. If you really want to change your narrative, then it's time to have some serious conversation. And if a person pulls away, listen, living your good life like a lot of people tell you to do, yeah, you should do that. But you know what?  And whether it goes on deaf ears or not, I'm here to say, it's time that all men get a bit of a wake up call. And you should tell your male friends to call the guy. You should tell every one of your male friends to call that guy and call him out on his bad behavior because we need a lot of butt kicking right now to shift this dysfunctional, disastrous dating world we live in today.  All right, that's my rant. Did you get value out of this? I'd like to hear your thoughts. Please post a comment below. If this resonated with you, please hit that like button. Please share this video. Please subscribe to my channel. And if you need some support, there's a link below to schedule a discovery call with me to join my group to follow me on Instagram. And the dating vows I shared earlier is listed below. And for the record, 90% of guys will bail on the vows but the guys who don't, you have a greater chance of success with those guys. Is this sinking in? I hope it is. All right, I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do.  I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'll ask you to turn to someone, a pet teddy bear pillow and give Iter them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye-bye now. Bye.


Greetings! Hi! Welcome to Economics 362, American Economic History. I'm Professor Gerald Friedman at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I'm in the Department of Economics, but to be sure I have training in history. My undergraduate major was in history and my advisors were in the Economics Department and the History Department at Harvard University. I kind of think for myself as an historian, as much as an economist, used to be that I only did history because I never wanted to argue with my mother's personal experiences and her memories. So I couldn't talk about anything in the world that happened in the world after she was born in 1917. Well, she died a few years ago and I found myself working on 20th century events and things. That's a nice change, but I still love history. This course will be different than any other course you've had, I suspect. I could be wrong, but my approach to history and approach to economic history is different than the Convention and I like to think better, but that's up to you to decide. The conventional view of American history, which we could call triumphalism or the wig history, sees America as a triumph over geography, over stingy nature, over political extremism, and it celebrates these triumphs. America in the traditional story has gone onward and upward, ever forward. Everything is for the best. Everything is good. Everybody gains. Everybody wins. We all have gained. We've all won because America's become rich. And why? Why has America become rich? Because of great ideas, because of great men, Columbus, Henry Hudson, Washington, the cult of the founding fathers comes out of this vision of American triumphalism. We've won because America's great natural wonders. We have this continent that just kind of opened up for us with the Grand Canyon and the mighty rivers and on the great plains we've built alabaster cities that gleam untouched by human tears, because we've all triumphed in America as a great liberal country without feudalism, without original sin. I question this view. Sometimes I love this country, but it's not as simple as that. And in this course we will talk about all the pieces left out of this triumphalist story, not to say that there's no merit to it, but rather to say that we need nuance and we need, we can appreciate America and American history better if we understand the full picture. There was an America before the Americans. There were people before us. There were the natives, maybe over a hundred million of them. There were the Spanish, the Dutch, the French, all of whom need to be part of this story. Who built the prosperity? There were immigrant workers who's often dropped out of the Whig story. Not only those from Ireland and Germany who have been incorporated into America, as we know it, but those from Asia, those from Latin America, and of course those from Africa. Original sin, slavery probably should count. It's a story of American history, historiography, that American history is taught in secondary schools in two-year courses. The first year goes up to the Civil War, which means never quite get to slavery in the Civil War. The second course starts conventionally with 1877. Somehow we've, we teach American history with slavery and the Civil War left out. That kind of sums up the triumphalist Whig nature of conventional American history, the history that you may have been taught. This is a view of American history without conflict, without divisions. That's not the vision that we're going to have in this course. American history in this course is a history of conflict, of people fighting. This is a country that was founded to exploit African slaves. It was founded, built over the graveyard of huge civilizations. This country founded on conflict, conflict against the Native peoples who had survived, against the Spanish, against the Dutch, against the French. Conflict against slaves, conflict against other Americans. We have clash of civilizations in America, free labor against slavery, various forms of imperialism. The world's first revolution against colonial rule, 1776, when people stood up and declared for equality. This is an exciting story. It's much more exciting than the passive triumphalist Whig story. This is a story of the growth of an idea. America is an idea. It's an idea of opportunity. It's an idea that labor is valued, that people are valued according to what they do, according to their work, and that all are entitled to a decent living and decent opportunity to express themselves and to develop themselves, to pursue happiness as they see it. That is the idea of America. It's an idea that's developed through conflict among peoples, and it's an idea that we will talk about throughout this semester, and I look forward to it. I look forward to seeing more of you. Thank you. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome to a summary of what you need to know about the poem Piano by D. H. Lawrence. I'll explain the meaning related to this poem as it appears in part 3 of the Pearson-Edexcel International GCSE anthology. Now do bear in mind that in contrast to part 1 of the anthology which featured only nonfiction texts and part 2 which was a mix of fiction short stories and poems, part 3 of this anthology exclusively features poems alone so in this video I'll highlight key language and literary devices used in this poem and you'll learn how to analyse it. So let's get started. Now what I'll do is I'll read through this poem and then I'll stop afterwards and highlight important techniques that you need to annotate when studying this poem. Softly in the dusk a woman is singing to me, taking me back down the vista of years till I see a child sitting under the piano in the boom of the tingling strings and pressing the small poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings. In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song betrays me back till the heart of me weeps to belong to the old Sunday evenings at home with winter outside and hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide. So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour with the great black piano at Pascianato.  Now this poem is brief but it's very powerful because it's essentially a recollection of this person's childhood which is triggered by the sound of a piano hence the title piano. Now in the opening stanza initially after Softly there's Cesura used which shows already and alerts us as readers that something is shifting slowly. Then we learn that it is dusk. Now the pathetic fallacy here is used because it's really powerful in showing this dark space between night and day this dark transient space and again sometimes music can do this. It takes us into a transient place and nostalgia is also that it's quite transient. Now we learn that the speaker is stating that a woman is singing to me and this present continuous verb shows that music is triggering this narrator's nostalgia. Now the mention of me shows that this is written of course in first person narrative and we focus on the narrative voice and then this person is taken back down the vista of years and the repetition of me here focuses on this person's intensely personal experience. Now do bear in mind that in this short poem there's a very regular predictable rhyme scheme so as you can see here there's the A, A, B, B rhyme scheme in stanza 1 then in stanza 2 it's also A, A, B, B and in stanza 3 it's A, A, B, B. Now what this regular predictable rhyme scheme does is it shows that perhaps in nostalgia this memory is coming to him in a wave and it's taking him back perhaps a predictable route that he was well familiar with as a child however of course it also triggers perhaps what can be a very bittersweet memory for him. Now the reference to the vista of years, this is metaphor and hyperbole and what this shows is the narrator is about to begin recalling a succession of past events. Now it's really interesting that the narrator reflects on their past however they state a child sitting under the piano. Now the indefinite article A makes this child anonymous and the speaker in many ways is shown that they don't really recognise their younger self which again is interesting from a nostalgic perspective but also it's a little bit poignant we feel perhaps a sense of pathos because they've become so disassociated with their past. Now there's onomatopoeia that's used here in the boom of the tingling strings and again this is highlighting just how powerful music is in triggering nostalgia. On the fourth line this child presses the small poised feet of their mother and the pre-modifier small and poised show this very intimate detail of the mother they can remember this one encounter as they listen to the mother singing. And on top of that the mother smiles as she sings and the sibilants here is quite soft and comforting showing that the speaker really yearns for this comfort of the past. Now on line five the speaker states in spite of myself and this shows that they are feeling quite melancholic they're trying to repress this memory and repress the emotions that go with this memory and are somehow failing at doing this. Furthermore the Caesarea hair arguably is the Volta, the turning point because in spite of trying to repress their emotions this wavered nostalgia comes and carries them away. And then there's this reference to the insidious mastery of a song now insidious mastery shows the power of music to trigger such vivid memories from the narrator's perspective. Now the music betrays me back so it's interesting use of what betrays is the illiteration here shows that the narrator is drawn back to memories that they don't want to consider that's why they feel it's almost a betrayal. Moreover the narrator states the heart of me weeps and the speaker's heart is personified showing just how intense this nostalgia is and the emotions that accompany this nostalgia. Moreover we learn that this memory is based at home Sunday evenings at home and it's in a cozy parlor so there's a lot of domestic language used here what this shows again is a speaker yearning for this comfort yearning for this regular routine perhaps that happened at the end of the evening before they went to sleep they would sit by the mother's feet and listen as they sang. Now the illiteration with winter is used here to show in some ways rather than have pathetic fallacy which is quite sad it's again creating and adding to this very strong sense of comfort for the speaker. The narrator also mentions the tinkling piano our guide. Now onomatopoeia is used here and onomatopoeia is used throughout the poem to show the powerful effect that music can have not only intriguing nostalgia but also to show just how vivid this recollection is for the narrator. Moreover the piano is our guide and once more the piano is personified here music is personified as guiding this narrator. Now in the final stanza the narrator says so now it is vain so the adverbial phrase so now signals a shift in the person's feelings and how perhaps angry they are at how this music has really forcefully taken them back to something that they've repressed and the speaker says it is vain and what this shows is a sense of anger and irritation at the person who's causing this nostalgic feeling. Now there's the reference to the singer bursting into a clamour and this is dramatic verb to show the dramatic action of this performer or singer who started singing really loudly and the narrator is somewhat irritated by this. Moreover the reference to the apparsionato shows this is a very emotional and very emotive piece of music that they can hear. Moreover in line 11 of Childish Days Upon Me now this is a really diminutive description it shows the narrator in some ways feels really silly for remembering the childlike days their childhood and they're almost trying to downplay it by calling it Childish and the narrator then says upon me my manhood and the literation here is quite powerful they've been quite forceful in reminding themselves that they now should be a man and it's really childish and silly to remember and feel sad at missing their childhood. Moreover the caesura in between me and my it brings us back to the present and the narrator seems to be quite wistful that the good times that the childhood had are over and now they face the pressures and expectations of manhood and adulthood they're trying to in many ways man up but they're finding it quite difficult to repress this nostalgia and this yearning to be a child again. Now in the final line down the flood of remembrance now this is a metaphor of how strong and vivid nostalgia can be it's unlocked and it's almost like a flood of memories that are unleashed upon the person then this really triggers the narrator to weep are wepluck a child and this simile shows just how much he misses being a child how much he misses the innocence of childhood perhaps also the freedom of childhood that they no longer are accorded as a man so that's all if you found this video useful do you know that we have an in-depth extensive course covering all the texts and poems in Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the anthology so make sure you sign up for the course for explanations on all the texts as well as model answers also do check out our website www.firstreadtutors.com where you can find plenty of English revision worksheets model answers and online courses covering all major English syllabuses including Edexcel, AQA and IGCSE thanks so much for watching

Nice roll for the giveaways. Five times. One, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. One and a four. Five times for the teams. All right, so here's the first half of the list right here. I know trade windows in breaks like this, little filler breaks. And the second half of the list right here. All right, let's sort by column B by team and let's print and rip.

Got to do one more pack, sell some spots straight up, and then we'll be in Brakesville. So let's make it happen. Thanks everybody. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one.


Today we're going to explore Ancient Rome, reborn with new virtual reality. Due to the launch of a new project, we want to share with you just what Ancient Rome looked like in the reign of Constantine. This is Flight Over Ancient Rome by Professor Bernard Frischer, the legendary director of the Rome Reborn Project. We start off by flying over the Colosseum. There you see the Velarium attached to it, giving shade to the spectators, and right now we're passing over the monumental Temple of Venus and Rome. Now we're walking on the podium of the Temple of Venus and Rome, so what we want to do also today is we look at the incredible reconstruction of virtual Ancient Rome of the Imperial period. In the reign of Constantine, we want to also show you what we do best in Ancient Rome Live, take you on location to give you that nice contrast between these amazing reconstructions and then on the ground reality of what's preserved still today. Continuing our journey, we're flying right over the amazing, massive Basilica of Exentius and Constantine, and on the left we can see the remains of the Domus Tepidiana. We have a video on that on Ancient Rome Live. Continuing onward, we're passing over the Temple of Antiochus, Pius and Faustina into the Roman Forum, into the heart of the ancient city. We're on the Capitoline Hill, looking back at the Roman Forum. Past the Clevis Capitolinas road, past the remains of the Temple of Saturn, there lies the Roman Forum. There's the Coupel of St. Martina, the Arch of Septemius Severus, columns of the Temple of Aspation, and again that colonnade from the Temple of Saturn on the slopes of the Capitoline Hill. We're back in virtual reality, and we're looking at the Capitoline Hill, the Gammonium Steps, the Augustine Temple of Concord, which is poorly preserved today, going past the Temple of Aspation, and we're catching a view of the Tabularium structure that has been recently interpreted as the substructures for a series of temples on the Capitoline Hill. Continuing on from the Tabularium, we're passing over the roof of the Temple of Saturn and catching a view of the Clevis Capitolinas again, that you as a Triumphator would ascend to make a sacrifice to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, the largest temple on the hill that we see in the distance. Of course it wasn't the only temple on the Capitoline Hill, and we can see here an accurate reconstruction, a lot of it hypothetical, but due to studies that gives us a sense of the other monuments, the arch, the erected columns, and the temples that were once accompanying the area in front of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. This truly is a breathtaking view of one of the most important religious spaces in the entire city. Back by the Colosseum, we're going past some late antique houses on our way through the Arch of Constantine, and there is the Metasudans, the sweating fountain built by Domitian, destroyed by Mussolini. We've got the Temple of Venus Rome on our left, we have the Colosseum, and of course we have that reconstruction of the Colossus that was placed next to the Colosseum in the reign of Hadrian. Absolutely magnificent. Today, here's what we have. We have the Arch of Constantine Bielofi preserved, the imprint in the grass from the Metasudans of Domitian, looking out in the distance to the right there, that's the Kylian Hill, and of course we have the outer wall of the Colosseum broken on this side as we're pivoting along here in this still gorgeous landscape of the Colosseum Valley. And as we pivot over here, we see some walls that belong to the pavilions along the stagdom of Nero that was here before the Colosseum, and in the distance we would see the colossal statue of course no longer preserved, but recreated in virtual reality for us. Another great feature of this app is the time warps, so we can see what Rome looks like today and what it looked like in antiquity. And here's a magnificent view of the palace of the emperors sprawled across the Palantine Hill and the Circus Maximus, and on the right side is the Aventine Hill. It was a place of residence and it is a residential district still today, so we've got these incredible views then and now of Imperial Rome in the time of Constantine when the Circus Maximus, the life around the use of that circus was still going strong. We have to say that this work is so impressive because it's accurate, it's based on top research and academic studies by an illustrious international advisory committee, and you can get the virtual tour app YourScape for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android right now. Check it out, it's free for one week, it's for students, educators, travelers, and lovers of Rome. See the link in the description. So here we are looking at the foreground, it's the Forum Boarium, and in the distance is the Circus Maximus with the palace of the emperors and the Palantine Hill on the left hand side and the Colosseum there in the distance, and the Aventine Hill is on the right. Now way in the distance, what are those hills? Those are the Alban Hills, today's Castele Romani, that's where Romus Remus were actually born, and you do notice a lot of green space, so much of the ancient city was landscaped. Now we can time warp to another destination and that's the fun thing about the app. Now here we are overlooking the Colosseum itself, and to the right it's the Baths of Titus, and they were contemporary with the inauguration of the Colosseum in the Flavian Era. Of course you don't have pretty much anything of the Baths of Titus preserved, but we have so much of the Colosseum, so we love to take you inside with Ancient Rome Live, with the reconstruction of the virtual reality program, you'll come inside and see an accurate restoration or reconstruction of the original design and decoration. Moving over to the Chylian Hill, we have this large terrace for the Temple of Divus Claudius completed in the Flavian Era, and just beyond it it's the winding way of the aqua cloudia bringing water to the Palace of the Emperors. Now we don't have the Temple of Claudius anymore, but we do have that terrace preserved in the private property of a monastery still in use. Now we have a great view of the Via Apia, and next to it the Baths of Caracalla, some of the greatest imperial Baths ever constructed, and we have a beautiful reconstruction of the Baths. We can also go inside today and take a look at the impressive ruins. What is so amazing about the Baths of Caracalla is that they were made in five years, and we have an accurate rendering and study of exactly that process and that knowledge, that scholarship has gone into the reconstruction of the Baths of Caracalla. We're in the Forum of Trajan with the once painted column of Trajan still standing, here flanked by Greek and Latin libraries, and the Temple of Trajan and the Basilica Upia. What an impressive view of the Imperial Fora. There's the Coliseum and the Distance for Orientation. Here's that view today from the top of Trajan's column, past the columns of the Basilica Upia, past the other Imperial Fora. There's the Coliseum still standing in the Distance. Now here's a great view of the Tiber Island, and we see the proximity of the Tiber River to the Capitoline Hill. We're passing over to the heart of the Campus Marshes, and we can see the dome with the Pantheon. Look at the Pantheon right here. To its left is the Sipta, and to the right is the Baths of Nero, and of course here's the Pantheon today. The gilding might be gone, the original piazza in front might be gone once lined with columns, but it is still impressive. Nevertheless, this is the best preserved temple from the ancient world, and we can admire it. And when we step inside today, of course, when we look at the model, the digital model, we get an idea of the original decorative scheme from top to bottom. Here's a view of the Northern Campus Marshes and the newest rendering of the Mausoleum of Augustus. You can check out our video on the Mausoleum of Augustus and who's buried inside, and here it is as an active job site still today under restoration. Pivoting over across the Campus Marshes past the Theater of Balbus toward the Theater of Marcellus in the distance, and that big open space where everyone's busy shopping is the Circus Flaminius. What an incredible rendering. What an incredible view we have in the virtual reality model. Here is the Theater of Marcellus today with the re-erected columns of the Temple of Apollo. What an incredible view we have of ancient Rome. All thanks to the virtual reality model from director Bernard Fisher. It's yourscape.com. Check it out and you will have an immersive experience of ancient Rome at the time of the reign of Constantine and you will fall in love with the ancient city and all of its aspects. It's a great way to get immersed in history. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe for an unparalleled look at ancient Rome throughout Italy, throughout the Mediterranean.
