All right, so I'm gonna show you my to-do list. And if you have a bunch of to-do list categories that you created at some point, what should you do? Should you organize everything?  That's a rabbit hole that's gonna take too much time. What you can do instead is to take all those old folders, put it into a one big folder called to sort, knowing that you can always sort that out later. So to have some visual clarity. So I'm gonna do that right now with my own to-do list. So with to-do list, I have all these projects that I had a bunch of in mind I never use anymore. So I'm gonna click on projects. I'm gonna add something called to sort. I'm gonna put an asterisk so that it shows up at the top. To sort, it's gonna be a list. And I'm gonna add to favorites, okay? Just so that it shows up in my favorite section also. All right, to sort. And then actually, you know what, nevermind. Well, I mean, nevermind in terms of adding the asterisk because to do is puts everything at the bottom when you first created. And you can simply now drag things under the to sort. So I'm just gonna drag everything that I don't usually use on a regular basis under to sort. And this is how you can quickly put everything in one place, you know, put everything in one place. Shopping, whatever. I'm gonna put it in here, I'm gonna drag it. Oh, actually I cannot drag the shopping one because shopping one has other things underneath it. Let me see if I can drag the rest. No, I can't. So I can only drag the ones that aren't nested that don't have things nested underneath it. So that's okay. The shopping one, I can collapse that one. Personal, I can collapse that one. Guest, guesting, guest posting, put it in there, book I can put it in there, et cetera, et cetera. So this is how I can quickly get that done. I'm gonna do that later when I'm not on this call with you anymore. But I'm gonna show you the other thing in my favorite section here is that I have created a label called five minutes and a label called 15 minutes. So for any one of my tasks, and today I'm gonna show you my tasks today, hopefully nothing's too embarrassing here. Defrost soup, it's kind of funny. But anyway, I do need to defrost soup later. So let's say that this task will take me five minutes. So I'm gonna click on this task and I'm just gonna do an at five minutes because that's how you do labels and to do is you just put an at symbol and whatever the label is. So I have a at five M label, 15 and 15 M label. So I'm gonna press return after I do at five M that's creating a label for this task. I'm gonna click save. And this task has now been labeled five minutes. The other way I could do it, I'm gonna create a sample task. The other way I could do it to create it is move. I can click on this more task actions and I could label it somehow. Can I label it from here? No, I can't. So the way to label it really is to do at five M or at whatever that's how you do it. Okay, so anyway, I'm not gonna create this task. I'm gonna just get rid of this. And so once you've created the tasks, now you can go to the label, which I have, what I've also done by the way, I've created a filter. I've created a filter. Let me show you what this filter is. Whoops, I've created a filter called five M today. Where is it? Where is it? Five M today. And let me show you how to create that filter. So basically parentheses today, line overdue, which means anything that is today, due today or overdue, and the ampersand, parentheses P1 line, P2 line, P3 means any task that has priority one, priority two or priority three, the ampersand and then this label at five M. So this is how to create this filter. So once I've created this filter, what that means is that this filter will only give me the tasks that are due today or overdue that have the label five M that are priority one, two or three. Isn't that great? And I've put that filter in my favorite section. So that's easy for me to catch, for easy for me to see under favorites. And the nice thing is I can now see, you see under five M, under five M or next to five M, this is five. That means I have five tasks that are in that filter as you can count there, one, two, three, four, five. It gives me that number five right there. I can't, right next to five M, which means I have five tasks today that take me about five minutes, which means that's 25 minutes of work. And then I have two tasks today that are labeled 15 minutes. That take me about 15 minutes of work. So I have total of 25 minutes plus 30 minutes of work for 15 minutes times two is 30 minutes. 25 plus 30 is 55 minutes. So I know that I have about an hour left of work today. So that's how I triage my tasks every day. I'm like, okay, what else do I have the left to do today? Which ones take me five minutes versus 15 minutes? I will label those so I can multi-select any task and label it that way, select anything and then label it using the labels tool up here to label it five minutes or 15 minutes. I don't really use the 30 minute one anymore because if I have a 30 minute task, I just put it on the calendar because it's 30 minutes. It's really a project, not a task. It's really more of a category. So that's how I sort out my to-do list every day is I first triage things by prioritizing them and then labeling them five minutes or 15 minutes. And now I know how much work I have left. Now, if I don't have, if I have more work, more things that I have time for, then I know I need to postpone the less important tasks for another day and I'll sort it out at that point. So yeah.


In this prospective study, researchers examined the effectiveness of anti-illinois 5 biologics in treating severe asthma in Denmark. They found that 58% of patients treated with anti-illinois 5 biologics experienced a complete response within one year, meaning they were able to stop taking their medication and avoid asthma exacerbations and the need for systemic steroids. Patients who achieved a complete response also showed improved lung function and symptom control compared to those who did not. This suggests that anti-illinois 5 biologics are effective in treating severe asthma and can help patients achieve better health outcomes.

RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, proudly presents... Mr. Playhouse star, Edward G. Robinson, production, The Seawolf, director, Michael Curtiz. The Hollywood screen directors present a Chronicle of Evil, the motion picture drama, The Seawolf, starring Edward G. Robinson in his original role of Wolf Larson. January 12, 1904, schooner ghost. Cleared San Francisco harbour in heavy fog, picked up two survivors of ferryboat Martinez, ram by steamer, man or woman. Woman more dead than alive. They may both wish they'd been left to drown before this voyage is over. January 14, making six knots in variable winds.  The woman is still unconscious, and, uh, Louie, our doctor is still drunk as usual. The man is squeamish, educated, and, uh, moral. Ha-ha-ha. He didn't like the way we treated my first mate, a villa, or the way I held funeral services for him on deck. The part of the burial service, and that's, uh... and the body shall be cast into the sea. So cast it in. Silly, dirty, rump-swelling sod. Captain Larson, the man is dead. Yes, dead and committed to the impersonal sea, correct. He didn't just die, he was beaten to death. Oh, that's hard. I confess I struck him lightly if you didn't. Lightly? Yes, but, uh, no amount of stimulation could restore the man from his excess of room. Now, tell me, what do you do when you're not being shipwrecked? I'm a newspaper reporter. Oh, writer, huh? What do you write? I write what I see. Well, is this the first time you've seen a man die? It's the first time I've seen such indifference to death. Well, this white is going to teach you something. I expect you to put me and the girl ashore at the first port of call. This is a ceiling schooner. The ghost doesn't sail the regular shipping lanes, and we touch no ports. You're on this ship until we return to Frisco in six months. There's such a thing as a law. There is. On this ship, I am the law. What's your name? Humphrey Van Wyden. Elegant. And the girl's name? Ruth Webster. My name is Captain Larson. Captain or Sir? I've heard of you. How have you now? Wolf Larson, skipper of the ghost, refuge of cutthroats and thieves. In whose service, Van Wyden, you are now cabin boy. Cabin boy? Yes, Van Wyden, cabin boy. We carry provisions only for the crew. Well, Van Wyden? Very well. Very well, sir. You're working for Wolf Larson now. Cookie said you wanted me. Yes, come in, Van Wyden. Look around you. It's surprising, isn't it? Books. Hundreds of books. Shakespeare, Tennyson, Poe, Plato. I hadn't expected to find such things from the cabin to Wolf Larson. A brutal callous inhuman creature, master of a brutish crew. Huh? Where'd you hear that? A man who tries to acquire dignity by destroying the dignity of others. I read it, Van Wyden. Cookie gave me some notes you're compiling on the voyage. He had no right to steal them. I've also been rereading Milton's Paradise Lost. Have you ever read Paradise Lost, Van Wyden? I've read it. Listen to this. I've read it. I said listen. Here, at least, we shall be free. Here, we may reign secure.   Lucifer speaking. Yes, Milton understood the devil, didn't he? Yes. You're right rather well yourself. College? College? Hm. A brutal callous inhuman creature, master of a brutish crew. Yes, I dare say in your set, people aren't a brutal callous inhuman lot. No. They didn't have to struggle for bread. You don't have to live in a world where your hand is turned against every man, even your only brother. If you ever write about this, boys, don't forget to write about the bleak, harsh coast where I was born. My mother and father, peasants of the sea, who sowed their sons upon the waves and got nothing in return but hunger and misery. Five brothers I had. Four. Four of them drowned like crats and lay focussles of leaking grotten ships that should have been condemned. I turned world to stay alive and my hand was against everything, posing in God's image, even my own brother. I want all of that written down. You hear? I want all of it. Yes? Would you come below that, Captain Larson? Why, Johnson? The woman, sir. I think she's dying. Dying? Captain. Well, let Louie take care of her. He's a doctor. He's drunk, sir. He's always drunk. Go along, Van Wyden. This might give you something else to put in that book you're going to write. Van Wyden, fine day. You drunken parody of a doctor. How's the girl? Please, don't let them take me back. What's she muttering about, Van Wyden? I don't know.  I don't want to go back to prison. Prison?  You hear that, Johnson? Prison. She's one of us. A jailbird! Captain Larson. Well, now tell us about your charming friend, Van Wyden. I met her on the ferry boat. I knew she was an escaped prisoner. I'd convinced her to give herself up and serve the couple of years she had left. And we were rammed. That's why she's got to get off this ship and get back to San Francisco. The sooner she gives herself up, the easier it'll be on her. She also happened to have taken a nice fancy to our pretty little jailbird. Oh, you fuck! Careful, Van Wyden. Louie. Louie, Louie! In order that this star pigeon may pay her debt to her fetid society, do something romantic. Well, here, save the girl. I couldn't operate my handshake. Well, that makes it harder and more dramatic. Louie, operate. February 19, 1904. We're in ceiling waters now, and I keep a double watch constantly for the Macedonia under Sixth Cannon. Although the men don't know what they're watching for, I could be troublesome. My headaches get worse and worse. Ruth Webster's recovered miraculously. She came on deck today when I was watching Van Wyden trying to sharpen the harpoon. She wanted to thank me, she said. You've been very kind, Captain. I wanted to thank you. Fine. Oh, now, you've been very lucky. Louie, our doctor was just drunk enough not to be able to practice all of his ignorance. Saved your life. Louie did a good job, Captain Larson. Now, when can I get back to San Francisco? Not for six months or so, Miss Webster. Six months? Or seven. But I must get back as soon as the better. I explained it to you. This is a ceiling schooner. There's nothing I can do. However, we want you to feel perfectly at home here. Johnson, we want Miss Webster to feel right at home. Take two men and put some bars on her window. Van Wyden, you told him. No, you talked about it in your delirium. Captain Larson, on second thought, there's no point in my going back to San Francisco. Ruth, you've got to go back. Don't you realize what it means to you? Excuse me, gentlemen. Ruth, spirit, eh? Captain Larson, I taught my heart out to get that girl to give herself up, to save herself. And you've destroyed it all. What makes you keep on feeding that bitter ego of yours unhelpless people who've never had anything but degradation? I had it. I fought back. You fought back? No. You ran away. You hid.   Van Wyden, you fear nothing on the ocean because you fear everything on land. Van Wyden, you saw my first may die when I struck him. Yes. Yes what? Captain Larson. What's the matter now, Louie? Captain, as you may know, I've done a remarkable job in saving Miss Webster's life. Proud of it. It's made a different man of me. I haven't had a drink in a week. All right, you can have a quarter whiskey out of my personal locker, Louie. No, I don't want that. But with the little time left to me, I'd like the men to die. I'd like the men to treat me with respect now. Oh. Like I used to be on land. Find, Doctor. I see. Respect it. I'd like you to tell the men not to laugh at me anymore. Yes, I see, Louie. Van Wyden, you once said I had no feeling for a man's dignity. And I'm going to show you something. Larson. Aye, sir. What the men have here? Men. Now listen to this. From now on, Louie, here is not to be laughed at.   Doctor Prescott here is to be given all the courtesy and respect. You him as a doctor. Is that clear? Thank you, Captain. Thank you. You're welcome, Doctor. I'm glad to do it. I'll go down and put on my old frock coat. Ah, yes, by all means. And be careful of that top step, Doctor. You devil. You kicked me. You kicked me down no steps. Ah, you slipped, Doctor. You fell. I don't have to stand for this anymore. Larson, you must be insane.  He's climbing into the rigging. Well, let him. He's an old man. He may fall. Let him, let him.  You men. You know why there's a double watch all the time now? I know. I've sailed with the ghosts long enough to know. Tell him, Wolf Larson. Tell him about your brother, Death Larson. Ah, shut up, Louis. Come down. Tell him about Death Larson and the Macedori.  Tell him.  I'm coming. But there's no price. No price. No man will pay for living. I'm coming down, all right. Louis, don't.  Man, why... What's wrong with you? You're gonna take me to my care.

To find the television set which exactly fits both your earning and your yearning capacities, join the parade to your R.C.A. Victor dealers. Back to the screen directors' playhouse production. Starring Edward G. Robinson and his original role of Wolf Larson. That last attack was the worst. The headaches are getting worse, more frequent. There's nothing brewing among the men. They're sullen and silent. That's bad. They'll bear watching. Larson, what's happened? Mutiny.  But I put myself up by a toe line. A swine, a mutinous swine. I'll get them. Hold out your hand, Van Wyden. Why? Whoever the men were will attack me. Their pulses will still be racing. I want to feel your pulse. Hold out your hand. Here.  Trying to fight me. In the belly. And the hand.  Out of work. Now, help me. Help me. Help me. Why? I'm blind. Blind? My head. There's something in my brain growing, getting worse. I'm blind. I'll go away again. I'll stay with me. Don't tell the men. Pity, Van Wyden. Pity. No, I won't let a blind man be slaughtered. Where are you? Your hands. Give me your hands. Here, Larson. Larson, you're breaking my hands. Pity, Van Wyden. Pity.  And you lost. I go. Now, you'll have to stay with me until my sight comes back. Cannon. The Macedonia. My brother is sworn to sink me in over a woman.  You won't let them murder a blind man. You wouldn't let my brother sink a blind man, would you? No, but take me up on deck. There's a fog. Tell me what it is, and I'll order the crew to take the ghost into the fog. Hurry, we're hit. We're under attack. We have to abandon ship, you and I. No! It's our only chance, Ruth. I won't go back to prison now. You've got to. It's your only chance. I've had number three lifeboat ready for this for a week. Now, hurry. Bearing pain and fog. A fog on the sea. A fog in my eyes. My crew is deserted. I'm sinking. The ghost has got the pieces. My brother has his revenge for the woman I took from him. It was too weak to live sternly. The ghost is down by the head. Water in my cabin. I'm alone. But I have a revolver beside me.  Who's there? Who is it, I say? I see you. I can shoot. Who are you? He's on the water in an opened up breaker of water, Larson. Very palatable, huh? Salt water. You knew all the time I was planning to escape. Yes, all the time. I can stand it, Ruth's can't. I came back. You're sinking. I need supplies. No. No, you're not going to leave this ship again. I've lived alone, but I won't die alone. Are you afraid? Yeah. I'm a man.   No, no, not wolf Larson. Not meanly, not alone. But in the company of kindred spirits and congenial minds, Van White. You. I'm very sorry for you, Wolf Larson. Pity again, huh? Well, I suppose good Christian people take a lot of comfort in their fetishes, like pity, love, humanity, even to the last. Water's rising in here. We'll drown if we stay here. You mutinate. Mutineers don't share in the last arenas of the sea. They hang. They get shot down. Well? Can't you say something, Van Wyden?  I've said it, but not to you, Larson. Captain Larson, you scorned captain! Sir! Who makes you any happier? Sir, now shoot. I can't die alone.  Shoot. I... Shoot! He was not only mad, he was blind. Totally blind. He missed widely. I slipped quietly toward the open door. He was standing waist-high in water, erect. Blind eyes fixed on his dark eternity.  Deep, all the time, the deep of the voice that I cataracted. All thy waves and thy billows were gone of him. I left him there. But in the end, at the very last, Wolf Larson had his only wish, the only quarter he'd ever asked, from man or God. He was not alone. I've just heard the last act of the sea-wolf. Our star, Edward G. Robinson, and our guest screen director, Michael Curtiz, will be with us in just a moment. Next Friday, one of the screen's most delightful comedienne visits the screen director's playhouse. Our story, for the first time on the air, is this thing called love, and recreating her original role will be Rosalind Russell with screen director Alexander Hall. Now, here again is tonight's star, Edward G. Robinson. Eddie, I can hardly wait to tell our listeners what you like in real life. Well, go ahead and tell them. Well, here is a man who is not only a sensitive lover of great music, but also a world-famous art collector who shares his treasures with all comers. In short, friends, beneath the ferocious sea-wolf dwells but the harmless art hound. Now, what are you trying to do, Jimmy, ruin my reputation? Get me drummed out of the mob? No, Eddie. I'm just trying to make sure everybody knows about your deep interest in art before I ask you a $64 question. What do you think of the appearance, the design of R.C.A. Victor's new 45-RPM system? Well, Jimmy, I'd say it's a great triumph of functional design. That is, if I'm not talking too fancy. That is, the size and the shape of the 45-record changer and records are entirely determined by their function. And that is to make better music. Isn't that right? Absolutely. The R.C.A. Victor engineers found that music was at its finest when recorded and played at 45 revolutions per minute instead of the standard 78. And that's what determines sizes, much smaller than in the old systems. Eddie, how do you like those tiny 7-inch records? Well, they're marvelous space savers, Jimmy. I have a couple of hundred and they fit on about a foot and a half of ordinary bookshelf. I like their rainbow colors, too. Say, what's the engineering reason for the big donut holes in the middle of the records? Well, the engineers found they could get the fastest, easiest, automatic record changing ever if they put all the mechanism inside the big, fat center spindle with no gadgets to adjust. So the records were made to slip easily over the spindle 10 at a time for up to 50 minutes of music. Well, I'd say the 45 is a triumph any way you look at it. Well, that's what everybody's saying, Eddie. Saying with purchases of over 50,000 of the record changers and over 2 million records a month. The 45 is sweeping the country. See and hear it at your R.C.A. Victor dealers soon. Prices start as low as $12.95 for the players and 65 cents for the records. About 25 years ago, ladies and gentlemen, both the English language and motion pictures underwent a drastic change. It began when a young Hungarian director arrived in Hollywood. The English language has never quite recovered from the things he's done to it. As for pictures, his splendid talent has created more than 90 of them, including such memorable screen experiences as Casablanca and Yankee Doodle Dandy. Now I'd like you to meet him, my director in the Seawolf, Michael Curtis. But those were very unkind things you said about my English. Really? I admit that people before taught my speech was abnominable. You mean awful? I meant abnominable. No, I will let you out there. But they are improved. They, what do you mean they? They are used to me. Oh. Well, Mike, you know, those were very unkind things you did to me in the Seawolf, making me as nasty as you did. Valadis was very difficult to directing you in a role like that. You were really so charming, so likeable, and we just had to make a beast out of you. Well, I don't know, I'm a pretty tough guy, you know. From now on, I'm putting directors on a shooting schedule, and I don't mean cameras, understand? Well, you did, Mike. Who turned you into the terror of the scene? You did, Mike. And who is going to give you a good spanking if you don't behave yourself? Oh, but, Mike. Quiet. You see, folks, there is nothing to being a director. All you have to do is talk quietly to people. Coming at once? Yes, Mike. Good night, everyone. Good night. And good night to you, Edward G. Robinson and Michael Curtiz. Remember next Friday, Rosalind Russell in This Thing Called Love, with Green Director Alexander Hall, brought to you by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. The Sea Wolf was presented through the courtesy of Warner Brothers, producers of the technicolor adventure drama, Montana, starring Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith. Edward G. Robinson will soon be seen in the London Films production, My Daughter Joy. Michael Curtiz' latest production for Warner Brothers is Young Man with a Horn, starring Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall and Doris Day. In tonight's presentation, Paul Freese played Humphrey Van Wyden. Others in the cast were Lerene Tuttle, Lou Merrill, Wilms Herbert, Herb Lytton, Herbert Butterfield and Frank Barton. The Sea Wolf from the novel by Jack London was adapted for radio by Milton Geiger. That original music was composed and conducted by William Lava. Screen Directors Playhouse is produced by Howard Wiley, with Dramatic Direction by Bill Karn. Portions of the program were transcribed. This is Jimmy Wallington speaking and inviting you to listen again next Friday when RCA Victor presents... Screen Directors Playhouse star Rosalind Russell production, this thing called Love, director Alexander Hall. Next, it's Jimmy D'Radi with Dolomiti on NBC.


Before starting a debate or moderating a debate, I've heard that there are some students whose bus is leaving in half an hour, one an hour, so I would like to address them to raise their questions if they have. As far as I've heard, they have some questions for the artist. I would like to address them to raise their questions if they have. As far as I've heard, they have some questions for the artist. I would like to address them to raise their questions if they have. As far as I've heard, they have some questions for the artist. So actually the theatre plays started from a real case, like it happened ten years ago I think, or really in Hargita, where the Roma, Hungarian people are living, like the girl committed suicide, and we heard about the real story, and everything that we created afterwards, it was fictional, but we started from the real case. The first one is here, where a lot of Hungarian people live, and a girl lives there. And from the real case, how did you become an actress? What was your initial motive? All of us, all of us. I think he refers to all of you. I always wanted to become an actress, I mean I have a really cliche story, because I'm coming from a family of Roma musicians, and there was always around people that were performing music, so I always wanted to be on stage, and I had a really boring cliche story, and I knew since 5 that I want to be an actress, and I like this purpose. How was your first performance? I mean performing for the first time, appearing on stage for the first time. Maybe Zeka Kenyanser? Tell us about the Roma. How was your first appearance on stage? The first show. I don't know, I think it was the third one. I don't know, I don't know. How was your first appearance on stage? Honestly, I don't know. I was on stage for the first time. Oh, you were on stage for the first time? Yes. In general? Emotionally. Yes. There are some emotions there, but you have to read them. Do you have a student role? Yes, I have a student role as well. I'm an examiner for two years, and I started in the second year. I don't know, I really don't know. I think I'm going to be on stage. What do you think? I think I'm going to be on stage for the first time. You're already on stage. And maybe in the second year I was on stage, because I was on stage for the first time in a year, and I was on stage for three years. How many years have you been on stage? I've been on stage for three years. And you've been on stage for three years. I think I'm going to be on stage for the first time in a year. I'm going to be on stage for three years. And you were very nervous, because you didn't understand what this word was about. But do they ask that? Do they want to become actors? Or do they want to become actors? Do they want to become actors? They like it, but the question is not for that purpose. Why aren't musical tents so... I don't know. She had a tragic story, so she didn't make it for the final. I told them that my heart is broken, and they didn't want to buy that story. I didn't have a tragic story, so I couldn't... You need a very sad story. I didn't have a sad story. I just told them my heart is broken, and my love is gone. And they were like... No, that's not true. This is the truth. You said that you didn't have a tragic story. Was that the point? Yes, because they all have a tragic story, and that's why they want to make it. And that's why I didn't have a sad story. So you were very nervous. Yes, I was very nervous. I didn't have a sad story. Again? Yes, I was very nervous. I didn't have a sad story, so I couldn't make it for the final. How did you choose Lumi Salli? Lumi Salli and the Hungarian Gypsy. How did you choose Hungarian? We didn't have the Hungarian Gypsies. This is the first song. What song was that? The Hungarian Gypsies. This is the Roma. What is the difference between Gypsy and Roma? The Hungarian Roma had their own name. What was the difference? How did these two songs happen? I think Lumi Salli was the first one. And the second song was forbidden here because of the tragic thing with the composer. It's also a sad story behind it. A real sad story behind it. And the lyrics also. I think the story was a lot of music. I think it's also like this show that we did. It's also continuing another performance that Mihella did in Liana. They were together in Pantuma and they had this line about this girl. A character is talking about this girl. The structure was very similar to this song. So we tried to continue this. Eleanor was also playing. It was like this. Mihella was a former member of Liana. I think she was the first Roma member to talk about the girl in Pantuma. And this story didn't happen on the show. It's a different story. So the structure of the story was very similar to the structure of this song. It was like this. Yes. Are you performing only in Hungary? In Hungary? No. This show is performed also in Germany. cities, also in the Roman villages. We had, we just finished a tour in the Roman villages in the communities. What are your ideas? In Germany, there are many players, but in Romania, there are many of them, and not only in the theater, there are players, but also in the Roman community. They are taking a big tour from a lot of events. They showed them to the Roman community. That's the idea. Yes, and we also performed in Hargita and Kovacna, like this area, like in Sekei, in Sekei lands, and we also had, when we performed in Georgian, I think, when in Georgian, one of Somnac's colleagues came to the show. Somnac's colleagues came to the show. And did you sit here to speak to her? Did you have any opportunity to contact her? She left us a message, and that's how we knew. After the show, she left us a message in English, because she didn't speak Romanian. So typical, yes. And she left us this message. I don't know. So I asked her if she could connect with me and she said that if she could explain what she said in the show, she would say that she doesn't speak Romanian and that she doesn't speak Romanian. And that's why she left us a message after the show, that she's a great person. And what was written in that message? It says something about Somnac, she was a good girl, she was very serious into school, she was very dedicated, and she liked to talk. I mean, only beautiful things. But was she or the Egyptian person or the Hungarian? No, it was a Hungarian... Yeah, it was a Hungarian... It was a gajo. So there was a gajo party and Somnac was the only superlative. He was a fantastic person. He loved this show so much. And he was a great teacher. He taught me so many great things. And I think it was a great experience. So you would like to know more about the company? I mean, the... How did you start the story and what are the dimensions for maintaining your work? We started in 2014 the theater company. It was me and Zeta and also Mihail. And we wanted from the beginning to have a Roma feminist theater company. We wanted to have a Roma feminist theater company so we spoke with other Roma... professional Roma actresses from Romania in order to make the company. For us, it was very important to work with professional Roma actors that before they... you know, the fact that they were Roma was not so important because actually in Romania we have a lot of Roma actors and we wanted to offer an alternate to the story-tipic view about all these story-tipic roles that usually Roma actors do to their dark skin and so on. Thank you for coming. Bye. Bye. Thanks for coming. Have a good evening. Peace. Peace. Peace. So, in 2000 we had to return to Mihail when Mihail was here and Mihail was here. What? So, they were invited for the whole thing and at the end of the day they wanted to have a Roma feminist theater company. This was a lot of... a lot of professionals and a lot of... a lot of Roma actresses asked for their help. It wasn't so important that Roma actors were there because in Romania there are a lot of Roma actors but at the end of the day they offer an alternative to the Roma culture which I think is the same in Hungary so it's a bit like the Roma that comes together and we platformer as they can and since then every year we had one or two productions so in this moment I think in our company we have more than 70 other shows so now it was the second one and we we applied for cultural funds actually we have a specific one in Romania and we also struggled with foreign funds from abroad because we work in an independent regime so it's very difficult having no support from the state to exist and to have a theater and to offer to the audience good production so we continuously apply for the money. In Hungary the Roma culture is also subject to subvention and because we have to keep ourselves up to the level of subvention we also apply for foreign funds so we have two productions so now we have seven productions and the second one was obviously more than more than the number of productions in the community may I have a question this is just for fun does it come that a male character enters feminism Mihai creating performances while directing or staging something it's very hierarchical no we understand I mean is it the source of conflict between amongst you or I asked you how does it work when the order is a very hierarchical profession and how does it come into conflict so actually it's not the power structure between us because actually all the shows that we created we created together and we also like the text we wrote it together the direct thing and everything was together it's more like our theater director we don't have this power structure and yeah I mean to be honest like at the beginning we had no money and only Mihai wanted to help us for the nation because actually for us it was very important to have professional quality and it's very bad but in Romania we have no more theater directors so we have to work with people as high because it's really important for us so there is no white sweet professional no no I mean it's like more he's under our control sometimes of course there are conflicts but not because of this power relationship you know it's because we have different opinions but I also think that the director job is seen in a wrong way like this and you know like this dictator and very autocratic and so on I mean there are different ways of being the director and actually I worked on this and for me it's also like a theoretical job I did my PhD on this so different types of directing and trying to work in different ways and I think it's important to think about this role you know and how you construct a team that functions together and it's true that in most companies you have very strong hierarchies and you can have the author you can have the producer you can have a star actress that is there are different characters that can have the lead but I think it's important how the team works together and I think it's more like a specialized way you know like who's working on the sound, who's working the lights and so on it's just a profession after all and we try to do our job as actresses, as directors I don't know for me it's not so much about how to say this faith that you have so on it's about doing your job you have a job do your job and you know everything will be fine oh sorry how are you? I'm fine I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy I'm happy The whole thing is about the garden. When they left, there was a time when they didn't even go to Romania. And who was the only one who was chosen to help them with their work? What does he say? I think it's a bad reception. He is usually in the position to be in the management department of this garden. Because I think it's a habit. You can't do that in such a way. It's a habit. You can be a producer of this garden. You can be a gardener of this garden. The management department of this garden is responsible for this. He feels that this is his job. He doesn't have to do it. Of course, there are a lot of things to do. I think there are a lot of different things to do. But this is a very important position. Actually, we also work with other theater directors, not really with Mihai. And we are really waiting for a first professional Roman director in Romania. At that moment, we are working with different non-Roman theater directors. It's important for the person to know that he is her job. As I said, this was our second show. So we work with Mihai. But we also work with other people because we want. This is our purpose, to work with different theater directors. Also to educate them. Because nobody deals with Romania like we do. So of course, even if we live together, there are so many ignorance regarding Roma people, Roma history, Roma contemporary issues. So for us, it's very important to also educate the directors. We also work with other theater directors, not just with Mihai. And these are very important. And of course, we are waiting for a Roma theater director. But he is not here yet. He is the director of different theater directors. And he is also the name of these directors. He is the first theater director to deal with this.   In the role of Roma theater directors, there is always the relationship between Roma identity and Roma history. These are the seven-day problems that are related to Roma today. So let's go to this room and talk about this scene. So let's try. Yeah, I'm just interested in how was the reception of this production. You told about different types of audience before. I'm not asking this in terms of if it was good or bad. I'm curious about the reaction times. Yes, please. It's amazing, but always all the audience was very enthusiastic about the play. Because everybody told us it's from the artistic point of view, the ethical point of view. It's a well done job. Acting is good. Textics is good. No, I'm very objective. So even if it was a non-Roma audience, even if it was an elite audience, because we played in the communities for children, for people who didn't see theater before. So all of them had the same reaction. It was good. They were enthusiastic. They applaud and they like it. May I go with the translation? Yes. They played in the same way. They met a lot of different types of audience. They met all of them from today. For example, in the community of Roma, they saw theater before. They did the same. The cover, the performance, the actors, the actors, the directing, they all showed up. To be honest, it's an objective interpretation. But now I'm not laughing about you, just interpreting your objectivity. I tried to be objective because I was acting teacher, actually I was Nihalas teacher, I am also a director. So her first performance and I pity she didn't mention it. No, it's not true. And I was a... Mihai mentioned that we worked together. Well, yes. So I can be objective. I also want to add that it's still very different when you perform in a theater. I also want to add that it's still very different when you perform in a village, in a courtyard or with a big group like 200 people, young people and people that come for the first time to see a theater show. And people are answering their phone, they get out, it's very loud, it's very, very loud. And actually for the last performances we did it in communities, in Roma communities with this show. And for me it was very strange tonight, it was so quiet and I couldn't hear anything. And they also perform, I mean, I'm sitting there in the back and I see they perform very different, you know, because when you are in front of a big crowd that is very loud and it's not loud because they are not interested or they're interested but they don't... They are not used to being in theater and to be silent. And they take care of the child, it's running, come, come. Yes, and it's very, and also for you acting, it's something else in a way. When you have to be loud, you have to... We have no voice after. I think he has another? Yes. Please. I trust it rapidly. And what was the difference? Because in the past you said that you had this big tour, that it was so quiet and that there was no communication. I mean, I know Hungarian too. But it's interesting because... I don't really know what I'm saying, that the reactions of the audience, what kind of people are going to say this to the audience, in this case, in the audience... I think that the aesthetic or the socialization of the audience needs to be understood. Almost everything will be understood if I'm talking about it. It's because of the fact that the audience is interested in it. So the interesting points for me in the response we gave is that there is almost no social impact factor of the reaction was mentioned. So the mentioned aspects were more aesthetic or the socialization of the audience. So my focus would be rather... What was this play provocatively? If the play was provocative in the Roma communities who are still practicing early marriage or regarding the gender roles in this way, you asked?  Either. It was a purpose to... the message was send your children to school. This was... No, not... Important. No. No? No. So it was... Yeah, I mean in the Roma communities, I mean we really try to avoid this patronizing, you know, style. Like we don't go to Roma communities and we say like we have a show and the purpose of this show is like to send your children to the school. Because actually we know that the problem with the Roma education is not that the parents, they don't send the children to the school. You know, it's a lot of things like poverty, like segregation, racism in the school and so on. Like even now, now started the school in September and some Roma children, they were... Their parents, they were called in order to not bring their children to the school in the first day.  So, you know, we don't go with this patronizing attitude in the villages. So, I mean our message, you know, is more... And also this is what we try to solve now to explain the whole situation that brought her to this decision to take her life. You know, it was of course the Roma tradition, the poverty, but it was also the segregation. I mean even the character that we invented, the teacher, you know, we were inspired from an interview. But actually her real teacher gave about her, you know. Also what appeared afterwards in the papers, it was in a very racist way, putting all the guilt on the parents, you know. And no questioning about the poverty and the racism that she suffered in the school and so on. So, if you refer to this, yes, I mean yes, when we go to Roma communities, like some...  But this is the real message that Sona left, you know, I am the school. So, from this point we started to create the play.  And she wrote it in Hungary. Yeah, she wrote it in Hungary because they were Hungarian speakers. Of course, there is a big difference between the school and the Roma community. So they decided that this is what it is about. So a lot of Roma leaders, when they go on tour, they try to convince them to listen, to take care of the children at school. So if this is what Sona is trying to do, this is one of the things that doesn't work in the school. In the meantime, there is poverty, segregation. And now, since the school started in September, and a lot of Roma parents called the school to not take care of their children at school, they wait for a few days. Because if they go to school the first day, then the Roma children will be transferred to another school. So these are the unexpected, unexpected, segregationist, self-treatment. And they don't want to take care of their own parentifications. What I find out is that I am the school, that's a real story that Sona herself left behind. And in the beginning, the first day, I found a story and a color story in the beginning, it comes from herself the same way. Instead, it's interesting, and I try to listen to that in the Roma community, how many Roma children don't go to school, it's too much, too much, let's say, there is a tradition, where the girls live, but the boys also live together. And the point is that it's interesting, that the specific Sonna branch of the tragedy, and that was the background story, that a lot of Roma children were missing their parents, while at least the teacher, and the one we saw in the beginning, and the girl's figure, they thought that after Sonna died, they left some parts, and they left the figure, or their motivations, that it's not their goal, that they leave the community, because she herself says, I am the school, that the school will be written at the end, but instead I will show you how many Roma children are missing their parents. And I also want to add that what was really interesting was the reaction of the teenagers from villages, and also from the city, and from what we talked to them after the performance, they really felt it was about them, because of course this is an extreme case, it's a very tragic case, but they said we have the same problems, we are dealing with the same issues like this girl, and they don't want to listen to us, like no one listens to us, like our parents don't listen, the teachers don't listen, no one... They don't get attention. Yes, and they don't care about how we feel, and this is exactly like our story, and a lot of young people were saying that, which I think is important, and also when we did this research for the performance, I think in Romania, but maybe also in Hungary, there is a huge problem with depression, and teenagers, and it's like not pay attention to it, like psychologists in schools, they don't have time to work with them, like real to do some therapy, parents don't pay attention to it, and so on. This is an issue that I think is important, but also not only the pressure, like all this pressure that teenagers have now on them, it's somehow present in this show, and I think they really understood this story, because it was also about them. I think a lot of young people have come back, but also not a lot of young people, but a lot of young people, not only young people, have come back to us, because in this story, that the attention is being paid, their problems are also affected by the teachers, and their previous researches have never come to see how bad mental health is, and how they are in Romania, and they have brought that they don't know how bad the situation is in Hungary, and so on. They have a huge pressure in their life, and they helped them to leave them to themselves, in their education, like in their family. So a lot of young people have a big meeting point, this story, because it's very important now. What is the message for these youngsters, because some of the stories, it's a tragedy, and what is the message for these youngsters, for these children who say, yes, this story is the same as my story. Do you mean the performance? Yes, the performance, and after the show, because you say they feel the same. They find themselves in the same way. Yes. Maybe you answered, because you researched this young people's depression, and so on, mostly I mean, I know the reactions of Roma young women in the communities, like I have recently the reactions in my mind, and I feel that now is a new generation that is fighting for their own voice in front of their parents, and actually many times we saw these polemics between the generation, trans-intergenerational conflict, and sometimes when you also have discussions after the performance we see that only the mothers or the women, or the women they talk, and we really put pressure on them to be also the younger to talk, and they complain a lot about all these power relationships between them and their parents because I mean, in the Roma communities all these defenses seem like this is our tradition, this is our way, this is what we do, you know? They just repeat to them the answers, this thing, and I just see young voices struggling with this or fighting against their own marriage and for fighting to not abandon the school after they get married. And I think it's also important from what I observed, it's also important for them, for teenagers, that they see a story and they cannot believe that oh, someone made this, you know? How come that they made it something like this? It means that this, the thing that I'm living and I'm feeling it's important and I'm not alone and I think that's also a relevant point, even if you don't come with a solution like to tell them in the show oh, you should do this or you should do that or we don't have these solutions but in a way, the fact that... Yeah, we are only artists and we just wanted to make a relevant show but we are not psychologists or something. It's important that these stories are presented and they feel represented, you know? And this is another issue like I think that teenagers in general they let forms of representation that are close to them nowadays and even if you have like a lot of let's say cultural production for teenagers, even like pop culture and so on, they feel that their problems are not... I mean, they cannot see them they cannot find them, you know? It's like the real issues that they are struggling with and when they find something they say, okay, it means something important that what I feel and you know, it's like this, you don't have to tell them do this or, you know? I'll turn it over quickly. What I mean is that it's very important to see that the girls today they are already there, they have to go to school, not in the past. And I think that even today, after a lecture after a lecture even the older girls want to make a statement and they are very... very... they want to bring the boys together and they don't have to keep defending themselves that this is what our tradition is and it's not the same anymore but they want to bring the boys together. Mihai Pedigas says that he asked about the choice that what do the boys do and also that it's a little bit about the image of the boys today and you can see what the boys are talking about and even then since there are not so many but some parts of it then the solution is what do the boys do because it's not a color the first goal is to express the generational problem when the boys are talking about the boys that they don't have this kind of thing that they should deal with. Thank you very much for... I want to thank you to the organizers I think they do a great job doing this festival in Hungary and thank you for inviting us and keep it keep it on keep it on


If you were at our pitcon convention earlier in the year then you may have seen me at one point or another walking around with a life-size replica of a manticore executioner sniper rifle. At the same time you may have well thought that looks like a large and complicated 3D print. You would however be incorrect to think that, not because the gun isn't complicated it is, but because it's not a 3D print at all. It is in fact a beautifully crafted and detailed entirely handmade replica and also it has a firing mechanism. Yes you heard that correctly, the life-size executioner rifle and indeed its kinematic P15 counterpart that was also at the show were not 3D printed. They were both handmade replicas entirely created in a workshop by one very talented commander. So who created these marvels and how did they do it? The weapons were created by commander Abril Keane and are crafted entirely from pieces of specially shaped and carved wood as well as scraps of electrical flex and speaker wiring but there's also pieces of broken tools in the builds and even parts from an old X-52 joystick. The P15 came in its own custom made presentation case complete with a cut foam interior and a couple of proposed attachments a silencer and a scope that don't appear physically at least in the game. The now familiar handgun from Elite Dangerous is incredibly convincing when seen in real life and you'd never guess at first sight that it was actually made from pieces of shaped wood that had been stuck together but if you think the P15 is a complicated piece of work then the executioner rifle takes it to a whole other level. The outer structure and subframe of the rifle is again built entirely from wood and as I mentioned the various little pieces of detailing on the gun are scraps of wire and plastic etc. Again the rifle is singularly impressive to see in the flesh and to hold it it weighs about what you'd expect it to weigh were it actually the real McCoy which only serves to make it more intimidating and impressive to be honest but it's when you realise that the weapon has the ability to be primed and then fired that your chin starts to head rapidly in the direction of your feet. Abril initially designed and built the internal firing mechanism again all from scrap and entirely his own design with the ability to fire three rounds just like the default weapon in the game and indeed for a brief while during its construction that's exactly what it did it rapidly became apparent during prototyping however that such was the strength of the elastic material inside being used to power the gun that it caused the trigger to recoil back and give the user a dead finger also more than once the gun literally blew itself apart under its own power so Abril went back to the drawing board and now the gun features a single shot with each priming of the mechanism. When the weapon is primed to fire the heat radiator fins retract to lie closer to the body of the gun and then when the trigger is pulled the internal mechanism is released resulting in a loud and satisfying audible snap an associated kick in the rifle for the user as the radiator fins snap open into the ready position again whilst the gun doesn't fire a projectile it absolutely sounds and feels like it has the most amazing element to us however is that Abril made the weapons specifically for us and presented them to us at Pitcon they now take pride of place in our nerd cave at the Burpit Homestead these two pieces of fan art are so impressive and so unique we really wanted to share them with as many Elite Dangerous fans as possible hence this video our huge thanks to the lovely commander Abril Keen for these extraordinary gifts the talent and passion in this community is something that never fails to leave both of us stunned if you've enjoyed this video be sure to like and subscribe as that stuff really helps the channel you can also become a patron and directly support our work here at the Burpit that's it for now thanks very much we look forward to seeing you next time


It is soon the holidays, and I want to show you all of the games that I find to be perfect as a holiday gift to your loved ones, to your boyfriend, to your girlfriend, to your kids, to anyone in the family. I'm going to go over a lot of different categories in this Christmas slash holidays buying guide. So the categories I'm going to include in this video are single player RPGs, multiplayer games, casual games that are also more appealing to kids, and then category number 4 niche RPGs, which I have just covered on this channel, check out my last video. And I want to say that you guys are very good at liking my videos. You know, when I look at my videos and I see how many likes I have gotten, I feel very lucky. Thank you so much, and keep that up, it makes me happy. Okay, so for the holidays, I would actually recommend that you get your kid or your spouse or anyone a switch to begin with. If they don't have a switch, then there is a new model of the switch out now. It is the switch OLED. You can recognize it because it is white. But it does everything that a regular switch does. It's just a bigger screen, and the screen is made of OLED. It's made of OLED, oh god. Which is good. It's just the best option. You can dock that switch, it's not like the switch light in case you didn't know. Perfect holiday gift. I know I would have a dream Christmas if I, you know, never had a switch, and then I got the OLED. I'm getting my OLED really soon, guys. I'm going to make an OLED video, I think. But I haven't gotten it yet. I will get it. I hope I will. Now to the first category, which are single player RPGs that I recommend that you get or buy to someone else this Christmas. Skyrim is still one of the best single player RPG experience that I have had. I take that back. It is. It is actually the best experience I've ever had. Single player RPG just mesmerized in the world doing my thing. I've talked about Skyrim so many times on my channel, but you are just going to have to take my word for it. If you are looking for a very lore heavy and freedom heavy game that is single player and RPG, then Skyrim is such a good value for your money.  And that happens to most people that I have talked with. Now the next game that I recommend is Immortals Phoenix Rising as a single player RPG experience. I played this earlier this year, I think it was like, yeah, it's almost a year ago that I played this game. I had a great time in this game.  So this actually fits a lot to the teenager in the house and just about anyone. And I mean, if kids play this, it's going to be too hard maybe. Some of the puzzles were too hard for me, but we have already established that I am a children. It's a children's birthday card. I am a children. Yeah. So yeah, that is a, I can say so, by personal experience I have completed that game and I enjoyed my time in that game a lot. I recommend. Now people are not going to like this buying guide if I do not include Metroid Dread, Metroid Dread. But I don't play this game. I just recommended it to the people that are really into this genre of play style. Now if you're buying a game for someone else, ask them first if they enjoy games like this. But from the people that I have talked with, on Discord and on Instagram, actually, they are super obsessed with this game. It's crazy. A bunch of people in my comments section on the Metroid Dread, I say that wrong every time.  So it's like a fun game that you can play several times, apparently. I'm just saying what I have been told when it comes to this game. But it is a new game and I'm sure it's going to be under a lot of Christmas trees this year. Now, Animal Crossing has gotten a new DLC and I have dealt a tiny bit into it. And it is just like Happy Home Designer that I played back in the day on my Nintendo 3DS. And I loved it and I am liking it now also. You get that for free if you have already Nintendo Switch Online plus expansion, which includes some stuff like Nintendo 64 games. And that brings me to the Switch Online. Get that for your kid. You can play NES games, SNES games and Nintendo 64 games. I have been playing Zelda Ocarina of Time, my good old baby again. And I remember almost every single nook and cranny within the game, but just some tiny sections of the game and some puzzles I had forgotten about. And when I figure them out I'm like, that is how it was done. I have gotten to the Forest Temple and let me just say that Ocarina of Time, to be fair, I have played it from start to finish definitely over 20 times. There was a time in my life that I played it at least once a year for a long time in my year in my life. It is my first Zelda game, okay. It hasn't aged that much, I think the current generation can find enjoyment in Ocarina of Time. It is so amazing. The puzzles are so clever. Now looking back at the game, revisiting after a few years, I mean last time I played through it was on the previous. I have to say that it is quite the gem and it is the Zelda game for me. Anyways, let's move on to the next category. Multiplayer category, I don't know why I did that, okay. So I have written down Mario Party Superstars because someone on my Discord channel said that this game is the good Mario Party game. He said specifically, I mean Superstars, not Super Mario Party. That is the older title, this is the new one, Mario Party Superstars. He said that he recommends it a lot, so I'm taking his word for it. I don't have the game, but I am going to take this opportunity to show you gameplay on the screen and then you can decide if you like it. Now that is a multiplayer game, fun for I guess everyone. It is new, so it is worth mentioning. Now we have the good old Mario Kart 8. I have said this before and I am saying it again and I will probably say it one more time in the future, but that is a perfect party game, multiplayer game, family game, kids game and nerdy trying to beat everyone's times game. It is for everyone. So Mario Kart 8, definitely. Now my third category is casual games that are for kids as well. I bet most of us that are adults now. We know some sort of kid that is going to need to get some sort of holiday Christmas gift. And if that is the case, then I can gladly recommend Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Pokemon Shining Pearl. I have recently started this game and it is taking me back. It is cosy and it is easy enough for any age group. I would give this to any kids age. Any kids that has an age. I was very young when I played my first Pokemon game. It is amazing, you capture these monsters and you train them, you collect them. In a lot of ways, Pokemon is very good as a starting out game for kids. Now another game I could say are good for maybe the older kid, maybe like 8 or 9 years old. Zelda Link's Awakening. Now that is a remake of an old Game Boy game that was then remade to Game Boy Color, then it was now super remade to the Switch. Now that is some years ago now though. But it is a very colorful and happy looking game with actually a dark story. Some of the dungeons can be a tiny bit hard, but it is still a classic and I can imagine this being very cosy to play in Christmas at Christmas times. Some other games that I could actually mention as casual kids games would be Meetopia. I mean it depends on the kid, doesn't it? You have to ask the kid what he or she is into. But DC superhero girls, very nice game for kids and I like it and it is cute, you could also check that out. Now of course we have Mario Odyssey, which we have talked about before so many times. And of course Mario 3D World.  But I have come to realize that that is those games, they are perfect for kids. So I take back what I have said, I think they are very nice for kids, I'm just too old for it because it's so easy. But I want to have that mentioned Pokemon Let's Go are good games for kids. Now category number 4, the last category, which is the niche category, niche JRPGs. I have some months throughout the year that I am just having a JRPG time that I am obsessed with JRPGs. I'm in that time now, as you could tell from my last video. It is the weird side of Isha gaming and I got a comment saying, well, Isha, you definitely talk about games that only you play, but we still watch your videos, they are good either way. I could watch you read from a dictionary if that was the case. So yeah, I can still recommend a Holiday Buying Guide sort of thing. The JRPGs, Blue Reflection, Second Light, I can still say that I like it so much. The JRPG is making its way up on my top lists on the game of the year sort of lists. The people that know what I'm talking about, they know the list that I do every year. The couple of lists that I do every year. And niche JRPG, I mean this game is actually becoming less niche. It's crawling its way out of the niche-ness. That is Atelier Riser 2, brilliant game. That came out this year and I have played it a ton, I swear, a ton, just too much. And I have had a blast in this game. There's so many things to do and collect and craft and it is so beautiful. That is always a game that I'm gonna recommend on this channel, I mean. But these were some games to point you in maybe some sort of direction when it comes to what you want to buy for, I don't know, someone else or yourself even. And I can't wait to get my Nintendo Switch all out. Okay, so have a nice pre-Christmas time, I don't know what that is called in your language. But I'll do it, have fun with that. And I will see you later, check out my sweater. I made this, look at this, I love my pink shirt back. They can't talk about it, actually. Just gonna mention it again, that's awkward, I'm gonna cut that out. Definitely cut that out in edit, Jesus.

Although we have to we still Our living condition is still not a hundred percent.

Hey everyone, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today is Foundation Friday where I review foundations to let y'all know how long they really last and if they work well for oily skin. Now today's victim is the Smashbox Studio Skin 15-Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation. I've heard great things about this foundation, especially for oily skin, so I really wanted to try it and that's what we'll be doing today. Now the box claims that this is a hydrating foundation and it was made for photo shoots that you look and feel amazing throughout the whole 15-hour shoot. Now that is a very long claim time. I will not be able to wear this foundation for 15 hours and come back for you guys, but I will wear it for as long as possible and we'll see how well it does, because ain't nobody got time for 15 hours. But it also says it's going to give you medium to full coverage, oil-free, it's supposed to control your oils all day. That's the main test. Oh, sweat, humidity and exercise resistant. So for all you glam girls that go to the gym with your lashes and your contour and your highlight, this just might be your best friend. It also claims to be color true, meaning it shouldn't oxidize or change colors throughout the day.  That's like it's actually awkward. And it also is supposed to have a demi matte finish. Now this is the bottle comes in, a little glass bottle, it has a pump nozzle which I absolutely love and it has one fluid ounce just like the rest of the foundations I've reviewed. So without further ado, let me show you exactly how I apply this foundation. Let's get started. I just put on my moisturizer by Neutrogena and now I'm going to use my Veil Mineral Primer. This is one of my favorite primers for oily skin so if this foundation does not work with this, I don't know what will. Now I've heard really good things about this foundation so I really hope it works. Let's go ahead and shake it up and I'm using a damp beauty blender to apply this. So I'm just going to put, let's do it one good pump and see what that does. Here we go for the color match. Okay it's kind of like the orangey color that a lot of foundations are for me. This is very similar to the shade of the infallible that I used but not the infallible price. One pump gave me a pretty sheer coverage but let's see if this is buildable so I'm going in for pump number two. So there's my first layer. I think it is pretty sheer. It's definitely going on very matte, I'm not shiny or dewy at all. But I do want to add some more to get some more coverage where I have some darker spots so I'm going to do one more pump. I'm going to apply of the Smashbox Studio Skin Foundation so now let me finish the rest of my face. Now we're talking. So overall I think the foundation does look really nice. Right now I'm definitely matte, I'm not shiny or dewy at all. It says it's supposed to be a demi matte but I think I'm kind of getting like a full matte from this or at least my powder is helping out with that. And the color ended up working out fine for my skin tone but fortunately there are a total of 22 shade ranges for this foundation and six of them are darker than my skin tone. Now usually when I do my foundation Fridays it's usually only like two or three colors darker than my skin tone so I'm so happy to say that there are six additional options past me. I got my Smashbox Foundation from Sephora, it was $42 and it's also available at Ulta, Macy's and Nordstrom's. So now it's time for the main test which is to see how long this foundation really lasts especially on oily skin. The box is claiming 15 hours but we gon' see about that. So it is currently 1.30pm, I'll be back at the end of the day and I'll show you how shiny or not I am. And I'm back. It's now 11pm so I've had on this foundation for nine and a half hours so I didn't get to go all the way to 15 but this is still a pretty long time and look at my face. I'm actually very surprised at how well this did. This is technically at least the second or third time that I've worn this foundation this week and the first two times I was kind of like whatever about it but today now that I've really paid attention to it it did a really good job so now I'm thinking like what did I do different today maybe I just did a better job at setting it I did set my face with my Laura Mercier powder but it looks really good. But now I'm going to get my oil absorbing sheets per usual and this is going to test how much oil it actually controlled. So let me just go ahead and blot. Look at that, that's not a lot for the first pat. In one pat I'm like drenched, oh I am pleasantly surprised. So this is the oil that came up on my skin it really wasn't that much and there's no makeup on here which is always a good sign you never want the makeup to come off on the absorbing sheet it's just supposed to take the oil which really does attest to it possibly being transfer proof. Probably should have hugged somebody today to test that theory out. All the Smashbox Studio Skin does lead up to the hype of lasting a very very long time controlling oil and being transfer proof. It did keep me very matte all day and after I blotted it after nine and a half hours my skin looks really really good and I think this definitely deserves a spot in at least my top three favorite high end foundations. At this point I would have to say that my top three are the Hourglass and Fallible, the Estee Lauder Double Wear and now the Smashbox Studio Skin. So I'm probably gonna have to do some side-by-side comparison battles between them to see which one keeps me the most matte but I'm very satisfied with this purchase. If you want to see me continue to use this foundation to see if anything changes throughout the week make sure you follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat at MsBiancaRenae and make sure to push that subscribe button and the bell so you don't miss any more of my videos. I review new foundations on Fridays and I do curly hair product videos on Sunday so I hope to see you all next week. Thanks for watching Bianca Renee today.


Hey guys, it's Tilly, and I swear one day I will go back to posting videos regularly. At the moment, I just can't seem to reach that deadline, but I mean it's kind of a funny story. Like some aspects of my life have been uprooted lately and a lot of things have changed. And it's mostly for the better, so I'm kind of trying to fit into this new schedule and also still learn how to be happy, but it's all just like really new. It's kind of like the unexpected everything. It just took like a split second and so much has changed in the last few months. But I'm gonna be pretty hush hush about it all because it's kind of like my private life and stuff, but I can say that I have not been on Tinder and I have not been- oh god no. I'm just gonna continue to a wing, uh, this one. Basically, I'm just a passenger on this thing that we call life and I'm pretty happy right now so hopefully it'll continue to stay that way and wait what?  This video is actually gonna be about books that I love and for those of you who might have seen my kind of parallel video to this, it was books that I hate. That one generated a lot of views and responses and for good reason too, I think a lot of people like to thrive off negativity in a way, but just because I have one video on books that I don't like does not mean that there isn't a huge pile of books that I don't love and I really really am so passionate about so many books. So I'm gonna show you guys my favorites. I don't even know what the actual list is gonna be yet. I'm just gonna look around and grab them with a shelf and make you guys want to read them. The first one is obviously a given and that is The Book Thief by Marcus Zuzak. This is a historical fiction novel and it is absolutely fantastic. It is set in World War II and follows the story from a quite peculiar perspective but mostly it follows the story of a young girl called Liesl Memminga who is just amazing. It is a really really phenomenal story and the book's amazing and the writing and Marcus Zuzak is just fantastic and if you guys haven't read this yet on my recommendation then I do you guys even really listen to me. This next one is basically what I call like the not YA version of this. I guess like the adult fiction kind of YA version and it's the All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Dewar. This too is just like absolutely fantastic. Same kind of story. It is historical fiction. It follows it during the war and it's just yeah emotional, heartbreaking and fantastic all at once. This next one is loved by so many and that is The Six of Crows duology. So the first book is Six of Crows and the second one is Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo.  It has characters that are problematic and diverse and they're amazing and you're gonna love them despite all their flaws as well and this book is just it's amazing. There's so many plots and twists and you just keep on turning that page and I swear like I just am so emotional about this story still and I finished it so long ago. This next book is a little underrated if you ask me and that is Bird by Crystal Chan. This is a contemporary book about a young girl called Jewel and the day that Jewel is born her older brother dies and so she kind of lives in his shadow and it's really emotional read but it's really really good. If you guys like blood and gore and death and all that amazing stuff you guys will love The Enemy by Charlie Higson. This follows the story of basically like a zombie apocalypse but everyone over the age of 13 got turned into these zombies so you're basically following these young kids as they are trying to survive in London and it is so amazing. I love these books so so much and I wish a lot more people had read them. The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness. The first book is The Knife of Never Letting Go. This is a dystopia trilogy and I read this book maybe about like four or five years ago now and it's still one that sits really high on my list. I really enjoyed it and it has quite an original idea and plus it has like animals in it and I love animals so it's just it's really really good and pretty much from the very first sentence of this book I know I'm gonna enjoy it. The first thing you find out when your dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say about anything. Need a poo toad.  Poo. Poo toad. I said shut it. You guys want to read it now, don't you? Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe of Benjamin Alias Ayens and this is definitely one of the higher books on my favorites list. I love everything about this. It is a contemporary, it has a bit of romance, it has a lot of emotional heartbreak and it has characters that you guys will love. One of the most magical books I have ever read. This storytelling in this is just a plus plus and the world's building and you can just see it so clearly in your mind and that is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. These next two series, although they are very different, are also kind of similar in the same boat of this magical world with these characters that you love and you just really are addicted to the series. The first one is Akane by Lynette Noni. This is an incomplete series as now. Drake Cora which is the third book and it comes out very very soon so you guys should probably read this now so you guys can join in on the party. And the next one is Cinder by Marissa Meijer. This is part of the Lerner Chronicles series and this one is complete now so this is also the perfect time for you guys to marathon read it because it is fantastic. The Scorpio Rises by Maggie Steve Otter. Like I said I really do love animals in books and this one has plenty of horses that are horrible, deadly creatures and I just love the idea of that and the story and the way it's executed and it's just yeah it was good. This one is kind of two. I don't actually have the second book with me at the moment, I've learned it out. But whenever I mention one of these books I kind of mention them both together. It comes like a bundle to me because they both gave me so many raw emotions and these are two amazing poetry books which I definitely recommend to you guys. The first one is The Princess Says herself in this one by Amanda Lovelace and the other one is Milk and Honey by Ruby Kerr. This next book became one of my favorites after I became emotionally destroyed by it which is obviously like the best kind of books and that is The Sidekicks by Wilkes Darkes. In this you had four friends and basically three of them had one mutual friend and that's how they all got along but when that one mutual friend dies the three then have to try to figure out how their lives move on from there, whether it would be all of them together or whether it just be them going on with their lives separately. Once again if you guys like a bit of gore and death and zombie-like attitude in books you guys should read Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick. This series is also another one that's like totally underrated. It is a trilogy and it is really really really good. I love it so so much. In fact I kind of want to reread of it. This is the last one and I'm pretty sure that I have a lot more books that I do love and I probably have the gotten a few but either way I hope that you guys are telling me books that you guys love down below and I'm sure my list will continue to grow. The last one that I have is Wear by Meg Caddy. This is probably one of my favorite twists on werewolves in any story ever and it is really well executed and the writing is really fantastic. So I do recommend that you guys pick this up. I guarantee you will enjoy it. It is a standalone as well so you don't have to get like fully committed to a series to really really enjoy it. What it looks like that we have reached the end of this video you guys can relax and unwind and hopefully I shall see you guys again soon and until then have a lovely bookish day and I will see you next time. Bye.
