Single mom lives nine years in Forgotten House for free. Being a single parent is by no means an easy job. Doing a job that typically takes two people is hard work, but this mother knew that her kids relied on her. So she did everything she could to make sure that they always had a roof over their heads. No one enjoys the time of the month when the bills eat up their paycheck faster than the money was made. And rent is one of the biggest bills that most people can't avoid. Even though none of us want to part with our hard-earned money, we do what needs to be done. But this woman found a way to cleverly get out of paying rent. This single mom wondered how she would make ends meet when she moved into a large three-bedroom home in a prominent neighborhood. The rent would be taken care of by the company for a little while, but she could eventually end up paying extremely high fees. The not knowing was the worst part. Her story of renting a house in Indianapolis, Indiana is one of the strangest stories you'll ever hear. It was the year 2005 when Lisa Hardy had just packed up her kids and moved to a new house for a new job. She was finally catching a break and she was just going with the flow of things. She decided to worry about the rest later on. The house, with its quiet streets and large backyard, was much bigger than anything the small family of four was used to. Lisa's kids immediately fell in love with the home and spent the afternoon running and playing through the halls, claiming their bedrooms. But the kids would never be let in on Lisa's secret.  Would Lisa be able to find a home before they're kicked out, or would they end up on the street? After the children were put to bed, Lisa laid in her own bed, thinking about her new start. She finally had a good job as an agent with the company, show homes property management, which is how she got her new home in the first place. The company had owned a couple properties and they had let her stay in one until she could get her own. They never discussed the rent or a timeline. The uncertain terms of the agreement made Lisa extremely uneasy, causing her to experience sleepless nights full of anxiety. When you have three mouths to feed, money typically didn't stay around for too long. Lisa decided to start saving money for the day when she needed to move whenever that was. It was a year later and Lisa was still being quiet about the rent, hoping it would remain undiscussed when something horrible happened. An unexpected mortgage disaster hit Indiana in 2006. The entire country referred to it as the subprime mortgage crisis, which eventually turned into the great recession of the late 20s. Lisa realized her job was at risk. A higher demand for mortgages and mortgage backed securities were mainly to blame for the mortgage crisis. Show homes property management started laying off a large portion of their employees, including Lisa. Oddly enough, the company fell under after the CEO was arrested for mortgage fraud. Lisa immediately began to worry about becoming homeless again. Lisa was convinced that the rent bills would start showing up. She dreaded going to the mailbox, or even worse, a new landlord showing up at the house to evict her family. This rent-free location, provided by her former company, was only supposed to be temporary.  Lisa had a hard time finding a new job. Thanks to the current state of the economy, finding a real estate job was nearly impossible. Considering she didn't want to draw attention to her potentially illegal actions, Lisa used her savings to make sure that her utility bills were always paid on time. Lisa's home was just one of many that weren't claimed by owners, but hers was the only one that wasn't actually vacant. All of the houses, including the one she lived in, were put up for auction. Lisa did everything she could to seem relaxed in front of her children, but she was freaking out on the inside. Lisa made an offer on the house, but all of a sudden, it was pulled from the auction. What was happening? Put yourself into Lisa's shoes. Imagine staying up night after night, overcome with the fear of losing your home. Lisa must have been a nervous wreck all of the time. But she would soon learn that her rent-free vacation was coming to an end. Member of the neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, Roger Rayburn, said, simply because the glut of houses that the city had under their control. There were so many to deal with, literally thousands, that it was impossible to keep up with. And boy, was he right, Lisa stayed in that house with her children for eight more years. The months eventually turned into years and the family was able to stop worrying. As time moved forward, and the house was seemingly forgotten, the two older children moved on to start their own lives. Lisa had been doing odd jobs and since she wasn't paying rent, she was able to live comfortably with her youngest daughter until someone realized what was going on. A lot of people dream of not having a landlord, but owning a house tends to come with a lot of expenses. There was no one Lisa could call for help, and after dealing with a leaking roof for months, she had to spend a good portion of her savings to pay for the roof to be repaired, or risk destroying the foundation of the house. Unfortunately, Lisa's luck couldn't last forever. The lots were put up for sale every few years. Lisa attempted to bid on them, but every time she tried, they disappeared. It was as if Lisa was being reminded to appreciate her situation. Out of nowhere, the house was put up for sale for a whopping $7,500. But Lisa didn't have that money in the home was bought by a huge investment company from. Lisa spent the next few days crying and trying to figure out what to do next. She knew that this would eventually happen, but she needed to figure out something soon or she would be out on the street with her daughter. But then something wonderful happened. The founder of the investment group, Clara 10 Listen, said that she would be more than happy for Lisa to be a tenant as long as she could pay the rent. Finally, the other shoe dropped. Lisa no longer had to worry about being suddenly evicted. Even though she must have felt a sense of relief, would she be able to afford the rent to stay in the home? Lisa was more than happy to accept the terms of the proposal. Without the financial backing of a landlord, the house was slowly deteriorating. Lisa was looking forward to paying the rent for the ability to have someone else fix up the house. It sure would be nice to have a fresh coat of paint. Lisa's days of living rent-free were long gone, but so was the anxiety she got from not knowing what the future held. Lisa wouldn't have to worry about not having a place for her daughter to live or being kicked out in the middle of the night, but what was she going to do now? Lisa's family was extremely lucky to land in that house at the perfect time. A year later and their circumstances would have been very different. There were many people who were negatively affected by the housing crisis, but Lisa found a way to stay above water for her children. Lisa hopes that one day she'll have enough money to buy the house. This single mother of three was extremely lucky to live rent-free for almost a decade. The house allowed this little family to afford to start a better life for themselves. But only time will tell if she continues to use the luck to her advantage.  But finally, she was able to relax. Hopefully, she'll be able to save up enough money to call the home her very own.


So this was actually scheduled to be like a live event that the site would be launched from here, but the time changed on Sunday. So it's seven o'clock in New York and people didn't want to stay until seven. So they just launched the site at six p.m. there, which was an hour ago. So I think it's good enough. So here, so this is the website for the new journal that just came live, as I said, was gonna come live straight from here, but came live one hour ago worldwide. So that's the main webpage of the journal. These are the three papers that have already been submitted. So I'll give a very quick view and then I'll go slowly over each component. So they wanted a picture that represented translation and I'll tell you how I came up with this picture. So, and then they also did a press release, the Nature Group did, which is about both the conference and the launching of the journal.  And so the site, if you go to look at papers or to submit something, the latest articles are here, but there are only three that just came live now. There would be an archive for all the papers. Press releases would be here. So let's see, I think they have a press release about the journal itself. So here's the launch of the journal, which is in New York for, is right now. It's the end of the day for them on the April 4th. So I mean, you can see all of this for yourself on the website. So this is basically describing the journal and why we need it and emphasizing here the translation psychiatry bridges the gap between discovery and healthcare by fostering, highlighting the pathway from discovery to clinical applications, healthcare and global health. So in the website itself, if people want to submit papers, you have here this online submission site that you need to register. And each person, many people who are already published there just have their login and password. If not, you register for an account. You have here author instructions, which is amazing that how people don't read instructions. In this journal specifically, we don't have a letter section because it's a lot of work for me. So people write a letter about the paper. The author didn't see these. The author responds, yes, but I was right anyway, et cetera. And then you can publish the dialogue as a letter to the editor. I think some new formats, they put like a blog and you can put the comments on the side like PLOS does that in the other PLOS journals. But a formal like traditional letter to the editor section is a lot of work and then you have to coordinate publication and then they have to come up more or less closer to the time that the paper came. So I didn't think it was a good use of time but in spite of that, we recently had a letter to the editor submitted. So the person called it an original research article but you read this a letter to the editor. And we have very explicit instructions not to have that.  So the key manuscript types are original research articles and reveals without these short letters that either comment on papers or people put like a mini article there. So this thing of instructions, I think it's very illustrative for people dealing with traditional media, new media, which is very annoying to people who are processing the papers when the person who's doing the submission shows that they haven't even looked at the instructions that aren't familiar with the journal. So molecular psychiatry, the abstract is what we call and this translation of psychiatry as well, both of them. The abstract is just a single paragraph. It's unstructured. So you just write 200 words, 250 words, summarizing everything. There is no section. Like in some journals like German now, for example, they put introduction. I think that the PLOS journals, you have introduction. Methods, results, conclusion. We don't have those sections, never had them. So people sent to me the papers formatted like that. It annoys me so much because it shows that they don't know the journal. They've never looked at the journal. They didn't read the instructions and they just don't care. They send it somewhere that had that requirement. It was not accepted. And then they just, you know, shipped it to me without the courtesy of reformatting per the journal standards. So it's very annoying. So people should please read the instructions for others. Then the three papers that came already is my own editorial that was printed and people gave a copy. Tom Minsell, who is the director of the National Institute of Mental Health at the NIH, he published this editorial here. So he wrote, he called this new journal a bridge to somewhere. And it says with over 5,000 journals indexed in PubMed, the announcement of a new journal generally elicits a raised brow along with some variation on these questions. Do we need another journal? Who can read even 10% of the journals covering neuropsychiatric science in the basic clinic? Will more journals just permit more publishing of mediocre science? And the answer depends on the journal or more specifically on the topic. And then he goes here to talk about the importance of translational psychiatry. And he said what I said yesterday as well, which is that in 2011, none of these findings from the last several decades are changing how clinicians diagnose or treat serious mental illness. And although neuroimaging has given us a window into brain development, connectivity and its function, is there any scan that reliably influences clinical care? And even though that Alzheimer's can be diagnosed by imaging now, it doesn't really change the course of dementia. So he puts, does a little propaganda highlighting some NIMAGE funded projects that have potential for translation. And then he essentially talks about the field. One thing which is interesting is that as he describes translation, he calls, he uses the terms T1 to T2 and T3 that I described yesterday. And but he stops there. So what I call the T0 and T4 and T5, it's not conceptualized by many other people yet. So the way he puts T1 going from discovery to the clinic, to from T2, the clinical trials. And then T3 he talks about, let's say even if 20,000 pet scan could reliably diagnose bipolar disorder. So that would be a T1 discovery. And even if this could show to work in a real world clinic, so that would be a T2 discovery. So some clinical trial show that it did work in the clinic. Would this scan be reimbursed by payers or required by guidelines? So that would be T3. And he kind of stops there. So he was very complimentary. And he says that the journal has an opportunity to make a difference by publishing the best science at the time when we can see this historic bridge being built that will link science, practice, and policy. And he says, I for one will watch and read it with enthusiasm. So that was very nice. And we had one, we have like two or three additional, actually seven papers that are about to be put on the line, but the one that came out an hour ago, the first one was this one, which was very interesting that vasopressin is a hormone that's been shown to mediate social behavior in animals and in humans. And it's been considered like a target for genetic studies in autism. So they apply these authors who are from the NIH and from Germany, from the NIH in Germany. They applied a functional MRI test with a social recognition masking task. And then they used a double-blind procedure that the volunteer himself sprayed intranasally, either with saline or with vasopressin, 45 minutes before the test. And then they looked at brain performance in relation to these social cues. And they showed that vasopressin induces a regional specific alteration in a keynote of the three of my network, the left temporal parietal junction. And they proposed that this could be a neurobiological mechanism for prosocial neuropeptogenic effects in humans that suggest novel treatment strategies. And what's very interesting is that you go to the methods here, so they say that they use this phase stimuli, which is from a standardized setting that has been made available for research. So you can just click here, and you can actually go to the site of the entity that gives this this kind of a set of phase. So people who are in neuropsychology are very familiar with this. So this is the maxbrain.org. And the internet here is kind of slow. So it is downloading slowly, but the battery of phases is here. So this was originally sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation. And if you just patient a little bit, you'll see that they use the, those are the phases that they use. So in the methods of the papers, you can actually cross reference to outside resources. And people who are reading the paper, they don't have to have the resource actually in the paper. You can just use the link. So it's coming here. So these are the phases that come up in the recognition of emotion. And then, and some pictures were taken from the international effective picture system. So you can go there as well and actually see the pictures. So that's one of the advantages of the online, so here is this an IMAGE Center for the Study of Emotion and Attention. And here's where you can get the other pictures that they used. So the beauty of the online systems now for the papers is that you can actually, within the paper, because you know, people were talking yesterday that some people like the texture of the books, et cetera, but doing it online or on iPad or laptop or hard desk computer, you can actually click on the methods and the parts of the paper that you want and then you can see much more information. So here it shows in the figures. And what's interesting is that the new type of paper is gonna come for all journals. It's not gonna be restricted to this one. That you can actually condense and collapse sections of papers. So if you think that the paper's discussion is just a lot of blah, blah, blah, and you're interested in the data, you kind of collapse the discussion and you can enhance the figures, for example. And then you can print your own version or create your own PDF of that. You, essentially, you get the bits and pieces that you want of the paper and you can make your own manuscript based on what the author has there.  If you don't care about the methods, you want just the point.  And then you create your own version of the paper based on how much or how little you want to see. So that's what I had to do today. We just had one research paper just launched an hour ago in New York and many more are on the pipeline to come. So I thank you very much for being here and I hope you'll visit the site very frequently. Thank you.


All right let's go into some details of the first section. There's two very important stances in this section. One is the diagonal stance and one is the back stance. So we have the Duryokna which is means diagonal stance where your weight will be about 60 and 40 and then we have our back stance where the weight don't move but your body now moves this way. So we have a diagonal stance like this when we're doing the Bangsao Wu Sao and then we have our back stance this way when we're facing directly this way we have Lan Sao where we do the kick facing her this way. So when you do it one way to practice is practice just barely touching the ground with your toe and leaving your weight on your back leg. Try to keep your spine nice and straight and then the hardest part is to tuck in your tailbone. You're gonna feel a lot of burn on the right leg and hold that for a minute. Right so do it facing 45 degrees this way now I have you do that now face directly this way and practice the stance. Now you can do it the other side. So you should be able to lift this foot without changing your rest of your structure.  So if I did help you can just touch the ground with your toe. So this is not Wingsheng stance but this is just for a drill to train the strength of your back leg. So we're gonna train it 45 degrees this way and we're gonna train it 90 degrees this way. Alright so when you're actually using this stance it's gonna be 60-40 like this and when you're going this way most of your weight will be in the back so you can even do 80-20.  So when you're doing the back stance a little bit more weight is on the back leg. So once again our diagonal stance when we're doing this can be 60-40 and I'm doing a 45 degree angle this way but if you're facing directly to your right for example for this stance for the kicks or the double bound stance. Okay most of your weight is on the back about 80% and 20%. So those are the two stances that you can work on.


Four features that will decrease the amount of your locked Amazon accounts on AutoDS by a lot of percentage and one bonus feature that we added for you recently in AutoDS. Hello everybody! So as all of you know, Amazon making a lot of problems to drop shippers and people are struggling with their auto ordering from Amazon and actually in general processing their orders from Amazon. In this video I want to talk with you about four features that we recently added that will decrease dramatically the amount of your locked Amazon accounts and will make your life much easier and will make everything for you easier to work and save you time. So the first feature here is our internal Amazon accounts freezing system. And what does it mean? If you had any problem with your Amazon account, for example password verification or low gift load balance so orders couldn't be processed or anything that could lock your Amazon accounts, AutoDS will see this problem and will lock your Amazon account automatically for 24 hours. After 24 hours AutoDS will retry the orders and will continue to try making auto ordering and if it still doesn't work it will freeze the account for another 24 hours. Now if you want to make your account active again you can just go to AutoDS processor page and make your account active again without any need from any help from our side and without the need to wait 24 hours. The second feature that we added is the daily limit and what does it mean? We added a feature that will help you to limit your Amazon accounts for maximum orders per day. So if you put here 100 dollars every one of your Amazon accounts any Amazon account will do up to 100 dollars orders per day. It means that this way you can decrease the amount of locked money in your Amazon accounts and you can avoid situation that AutoDS will try again and again order your products while you don't have gift card balance. So this is something that will also help you by a lot of percentage to decrease the amount of your locked Amazon accounts. Third and super interesting feature that we added here is the pending orders limit and what does this feature mean? So using this feature you can limit the amount of pending orders in your Amazon account. So pending order is an order that still didn't get tracking number from Amazon. In this way you can limit the amount of orders that can be locked on your Amazon account. So only when this amount of products will be decreased for example if I processed four orders AutoDS will wait until one of these orders will be shipped. Only when one of the orders shipped we will do another order from this specific account. Now if you put here zero it means that AutoDS will do unlimited orders per account but if you put here any number AutoDS will check how many orders still didn't get tracking number from Amazon and then when this amount reached it will just wait and then process the orders only when this amount decreased. The next feature here is the OTP and this is the four feature that we added to decrease the amount of locked Amazon accounts and actually this feature also improves the customer experience by a lot of percentage because it just makes everything much easier for you and it's stopping the annoying emails from Amazon about the OTP authentication. So in this feature if you click here the update I will not do it on this video because I have a full video just about this and I will edit under this video. If you add the OTP code it will be much easier for AutoDS to log into your Amazon account and it will look for Amazon like something much more real and like a real person because for programs and tools and automation tools usually it's very hard to process orders in this way. So we found the solution here we added this feature and it will also help you a lot. Another feature that we added for the auto ordering system and this is a bonus feature here for this video is the Gifted Balance. So after you made your first order using the automated orders of AutoDS you will have here the right amount of Gifted Balance which is remaining in your Amazon account. It means that here you can have even 100 accounts and you don't need to go and log into your accounts one by one you can just go to AutoDS orders processor and check the Gifted Balance from any of your accounts. I hope that you like these features don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you will be always stayed updated about all of our new features all of our dropshipping videos and tips. I am usually releasing a lot of videos just to help to our members and to any dropshipper in the world. See you in the next videos don't forget to subscribe like this video and write down in the comments what do you do to decrease the amount of your locked amazon accounts. Bye bye


Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde. Fourth Act. Scene, same as in Act One. Lying on sofa. How can I tell him? I can't tell him. It would kill me. I wonder what happened after I escaped from that horrible room. Perhaps she told them the true reason of her being there, and the real meaning of that fatal fan of mine. Oh, if he knows, how can I look him in the face again? He would never forgive me. Touch his bell. How securely one thinks one lives, out of reach of temptation, sin, folly. And then suddenly, oh, life is terrible. It rules us. We do not rule it. Enter Rosalie, right. Did your ladyship ring for me? Yes. Have you found out at what time Lord Windermere came in last night? His lordship did not come in till five o'clock. Five o'clock? He knocked at my door this morning, didn't he? Yes, my lady, at half past nine. I told him your ladyship was not awake yet. Did he say anything? Something about your ladyship's fan. I didn't quite catch what his lordship said. Has the fan been lost, my lady? I can't find it, and Parker says it was not left in any of the rooms. He has looked in all of them, and on the terrace as well. It doesn't matter. Tell Parker not to trouble. That will do. Exit Rosalie. Rising. She's sure to tell him. A fancier person doing a wonderful act of self-sacrifice, doing it spontaneously, recklessly, nobly, and afterwards finding out that it cost too much. Why should she hesitate between her ruin and mine? How strange. I would have publicly disgraced her in my own house. She accepts public disgrace in the house of another to save me. There is a bitter irony in things. A bitter irony in the way we talk of good and bad women.  And what a pity that in life we only get our lessons when they are of no use to us. For even if she doesn't tell, I must. Oh, the shame of it. The shame of it. To tell is to live through it all again. Actions are the first tragedy in life. Words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. Oh. Starts as Lord Windermere enters. Kisses her. Margaret, how pale you look. I slept very badly. Sitting on sofa with her. I am so sorry. I came in dreadfully late and didn't like to wake you. You are crying, dear. Yes, I am crying. For I have something to tell you, Arthur. My dear child, you are not well. You've been doing too much. Let us go away to the country. You'll be all right at Selby. The season is nearly over. There is no use staying on. Poor darling. We'll go away today, if you like. Risers. We can easily catch the 340. I'll send a wire to Fanon. Crosses and sits down at table to write a telegram. Yes, let us go away today. No, I can't go today, Arthur. There is someone I must see before I leave town. Someone who has been kind to me. Rising and leaning over sofa. Kind to you? Far more than that. Risers and goes to him. I will tell you, Arthur, but only love me. Love me as you used to love me. Used to?  Coming round and sitting right of her. You still don't imagine. No, you couldn't. I don't. I know now I was wrong and foolish. It was very good of you to receive her last night, but you are never to see her again. Why do you say that? Holding her hand. Margaret, I thought Mrs. Erlin was a woman more sinned against than sinning, as the phrase goes. I thought she wanted to be good, to get back into a place that she had lost by a moment's folly, to lead again a decent life. I believed what she told me. I was mistaken in her. She is bad. As bad as a woman can be. Arthur, Arthur, don't talk so bitterly about any woman. I don't think now that people can be divided into the good and bad, as though they were two separate races or creations. What are called good women may have terrible things in them. Mad moods of recklessness, assertion, jealousy, sin. Bad women, as they are termed, may have in them sorrow, repentance, pity, sacrifice. And I don't think Mrs. Erlin a bad woman. I know she is not. My dear child, the woman's impossible. No matter what harm she tries to do us, you must never see her again. She is inadmissible anywhere. But I want to see her. I want her to come here. Never! She came here once as your guest. She must come now as mine. That is but fair. She should never have come here. Rising. It is too late, Arthur, to say that now. Moves away. Rising. Margaret, if you knew where Mrs. Erlin went last night after she left this house, you would not sit in the same room with her. It was absolutely shameless, the whole thing. Arthur, I can't bear it any longer. I must tell you. Last night. Ends at Parker with a tray on which lie Lady Windermere's fan and a card. Mrs. Erlin has called to return your ladyship's fan, which she took away by mistake last night. Mrs. Erlin has written a message on the card.  Reads card. Say I shall be very glad to see her. Exit Parker. She wants to see me, Arthur. Takes card and looks at it. Margaret, I beg you not to. Let me see her first at any rate. She's a very dangerous woman. She's the most dangerous woman I know. You don't realize what you're doing. It is right that I should see her. My child, you may be on the brink of a great sorrow. Don't go to meet it. It is absolutely necessary that I should see her before you do. Why should it be necessary? Enter Parker. Mrs. Erlin. Enter Mrs. Erlin. Exit Parker. How do you do, Lady Windermere? To Lord Windermere. How do you do? Do you know, Lady Windermere, I am so sorry about your fan. I can't imagine how I made such a silly mistake.  And as I was driving your direction, I thought I would take the opportunity of returning your property in person, with many apologies for my carelessness, and of bidding you goodbye. Goodbye? Moves towards sofa with Mrs. Erlin, and sits down beside her. Are you going away then, Mrs. Erlin? Yes, I am going to live abroad again. The English climate doesn't suit me. My heart is affected here, and that I don't like. I prefer living in the south. London is too full of fogs and— and serious people, Lord Windermere. Whether the fogs produce the serious people, or whether the serious people produce the fogs, I don't know. But the whole thing rather gets on my nerves, and— so I'm leaving this afternoon by the club train. This afternoon? But I wanted so much to come and see you. How kind of you. But I am afraid I have to go. Shall I never see you again, Mrs. Erlin? I am afraid not. Our lives lie too far apart. But there is a little thing I would like you to do for me. I want a photograph of you, Lady Windermere. Would you give me one? You don't know how gratified I should be. Oh, with pleasure. There is one on that table. I'll show it to you. Goes across to the table. Coming up to Mrs. Erlin and speaking in a low voice. It is monstrous you're intruding yourself here after your conduct last night. With an amused smile. My dear Windermere, manners before morals. Returning. I'm afraid it is very flattering. I am not so pretty as that. Showing photograph. You are much prettier.  I have. Would you prefer one of those? Yes. I'll go and get it for you if you'll excuse me for a moment. I have one upstairs. So sorry, Lady Windermere, to give you so much trouble. Moves the door. Right. No trouble at all, Mrs. Erlin. Thanks so much. Exit Lady Windermere, right. You seem rather out of temper this morning, Windermere. Why should you be? Margaret and I get uncharmingly together. I can't bear to see you with her. Besides, you have not told me the truth, Mrs. Erlin. I have not told her the truth, you mean. Standing centre. I sometimes wish you had. You should have been spared, then, the misery, the anxiety, the annoyance of the last six months.  Rather than that, I was ready to supply you with money to pay bill after bill, extravagance after extravagance, to risk what occurred yesterday, the first quarrel I have ever had with my wife. You don't understand what that means to me. How could you? I tell you that the only bitter words that ever came from those sweet lips of hers were on your account, and I hate to see you next to her. You sully the innocence that is in her. Moves, left centre.  You are not. Why do you say that? Let me get you an invitation to my wife's ball. For my daughter's ball? Yes. You came and within an hour of your leaving the house you are found in a man's rooms. You are disgraced before everyone. Goes upstage, centre. Yes. Turning round on her.  I have the right to tell you never to enter this house, never to attempt to come near my wife. My daughter, you mean? You have no right to claim her as your daughter. You left her. Abandon her when she was but a child in the cradle.  Rising. Do you count that to his credit, Lord Windmere, or to mine? To his, now that I know you. Take care. You had better be careful. Oh, I am not going to mince words for you. I know you thoroughly. Looks vividly at him. I question that. I do know you.  One day you read in the papers that she has married a rich man. That's all your hideous chance.  You began your blackmailing. Shrugging her shoulders.  They are vulgar. I saw my chance at his true and took it. Yes, you took it. And spoiled it all last night by being found out. With a strange smile. You are quite right. I spoiled it all last night. As for your blunder in taking my wife's van from here and then leaving it about in Darwin's rooms, it is unpardonable. I can't bear the sight of it now. I shall never let my wife use it again. That thing is soiled for me. You should have kept it and not brought it back. I think I shall keep it. Goes up. It's extremely pretty. Takes up fan. I shall ask Margaret to give it to me. I hope my wife will give it to you. Oh, I'm sure she will have no objection. I wish that at the same time she would give you a miniature she kisses every night before she prays. It's the miniature of a young innocent looking girl with beautiful dark hair. Ah, yes, I remember. How long ago that seems. Goes to sofa and sits down. It was done before I was married. Dark hair and an innocent expression were the fashion then, Windermere. What do you mean by coming here this morning? What is your object? Crossing left centre and sitting. To bid goodbye to my dear daughter, of course. Lord Windermere bites his underlip in anger. Mrs. Erlen looks at him and her voice and manner become serious. In her accents, as she talks, there is a note of deep tragedy. For a moment she reveals herself.   Only once in my life have I known a mother's feelings. That was last night. They were terrible. They made me suffer. They made me suffer too much. For twenty years, as you say, I have lived childless. I want to live childless still. Hiding her feelings with a trivial laugh. Besides, my dear Windermere, how on earth could I pose as a mother with a grown-up daughter? Margaret is twenty-one, and I have never admitted that I am more than twenty-nine, or thirty at the most. Twenty-nine, when there are pink shades, thirty when there are not. So you see what difficulties it would involve? No. As far as I am concerned, let your wife cherish the memory of this dead, stainless mother. Why should I interfere with her illusions? I find it hard enough to keep my own. I lost one illusion last night. I thought I had no heart. I find I have. And a heart doesn't suit me, Windermere. Somehow it doesn't go with modern dress. It makes one look old. Takes up hand-mirror from table, and looks into it. And it spoils one's career at critical moments. You fill me with horror, with absolute horror. Rising. I suppose, Windermere, you would like me to retire into a convent, or become a hospital nurse or something of that kind, as people do in silly modern novels.  In real life we don't do such things. Not as long as we have any good looks left at any rate. No. What consoles one nowadays is not repentance, but pleasure. Repentance is quite out of date. And, besides, if a woman really repents, she has to go to a bad dressmaker, otherwise no one believes in her. And nothing in the world would induce me to do that. No. I am going to pass entirely out of your two lives. My coming into them has been a mistake. I discovered that last night. A fatal mistake. Smiling. Almost fatal. I am sorry now, I did not tell my wife the whole thing at once. I regret my bad actions. You regret your good ones. That is the difference between us. I don't trust you. I will tell my wife. It's better for her to know and from me. It will cause her infinite pain. It will humiliate her terribly, but it's right that she should know. You propose to tell her? I am going to tell her. Going up to him. If you do, I will make my name so infamous that it will mar every moment of her life. It will ruin her and make her wretched. If you dare to tell her there is no depth of degradation I will not sink to. No pit of shame I will not enter. You shall not tell her. I forbid you. Why? If I said to you that I cared for her. Perhaps loved her even. You would sneer at me, wouldn't you? I should feel it was not true. A mother's love means devotion, unselfishness, sacrifice. What could you know of such things? You were right. What could I know of such things? Don't let us talk any more about it. As for telling my daughter who I am, that I do not allow. It is my secret. It is not yours. If I make up my mind to tell her—and I think I will—I shall tell her before I leave the house. If not, I shall never tell her. Then let me beg of you to leave our house at once. I will make your excuses to Margaret. Enter Lady Windermere right. She goes over to Mrs. Erlen with the photograph in her hand. Lord Windermere moves to back of Sofa and anxiously watches Mrs. Erlen as the scene progresses. I am so sorry Mrs. Erlen to have kept you waiting. I couldn't find the photograph anywhere. At last I discovered it in my husband's dressing room. He had stolen it. Takes the photograph from her and looks at it. I am not surprised. It is charming. Goes over to Sofa with Lady Windermere and sits down beside her, looks again at the photograph.  What is he called? Gerard, after my dear father. Laying the photograph down. Really? Yes. If it had been a girl I would have called it after my mother. My mother had the same name as myself. Margaret. My name is Margaret too. Indeed. Yes. You are devoted to your mother's memory Lady Windermere. Your husband tells me. We all have ideals in life. At least we all should have.  Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better. Shaking her head. If I lost my ideals I should lose everything. Everything? Yes. Did your father often speak to you of your mother? No. It gave him too much pain.   Then he begged me never to mention her name to him again. It made him suffer even to hear it. My father. My father really died of a broken heart. His was the most ruined life I know. Rising. I am afraid I must go now, Lady Windermere. Rising. Oh, no, don't. I think I had better. My carriage must have come back by this time. I sent it to Lady Jedberg's with a note. Arthur, would you mind seeing if Mrs. Erlen's carriage has come back? Pray don't trouble, Lord Windermere. Yes, Arthur. Do go, please. Lord Windermere hesitated for a moment and looks at Mrs. Erlen. She remains quite impassive. He leaves the room. To Mrs. Erlen. Oh, what am I to say to you? You saved me last night. Goes towards her. Hush, don't speak of it. I must speak of it. I can't let you think I am going to accept the sacrifice. I am not. It is too great. I am going to tell my husband everything. It is my duty. It is not your duty. At least you have duties to others besides him. You say you owe me something. I owe you everything. Then pay your debt by silence. That is the only way in which it can be paid. Don't spoil the one good thing I have done in my life by telling it to anyone. Promise me that what passed last night will remain a secret between us.  Why spoil his love? You must not spoil it. Love is easily killed. Oh, how easily love is killed. Pledge me your word, Lady Windermere, that you will never tell him. I insist upon it. With bowed head. It is your will, not mine. Yes, it is my will. And never forget your child.   Looking up. I always will now. Only once in my life I have forgotten my own mother. That was last night. Oh, if I had remembered her I should not have been so foolish, so wicked. With a slight shudder. Hush! Last night is quite over. Enter, Lord Windermere. Your carriage has not come back yet, Mrs. Irlyn. It makes no matter. I'll take a handsome. There is nothing in the world so respectable as a good Shroesery and Talbot. And now, dear Lady Windermere, I am afraid it really is good-bye. Moves up centre. Oh, I remember. You'll think me absurd, but do you know I've taken a great fancy to this fan that I was silly enough to run away with last night from your ball? Now, I wonder, would you give it to me? Lord Windermere says you may. I know it is his present. Oh, certainly. If it will give you any pleasure. But it has my name on it. It has Margaret on it. But we have the same Christian name. Oh, I forgot. Of course do have it. What a wonderful chance our names being the same. Quite wonderful. Thanks. It will always remind me of you. Shakes hands with her. Enter, Parker. Lord Augustus, Lorden. Mrs. Irlyn's carriage has come. Enter, Lord Augustus. Good morning, dear boy. Good morning, Lady Windermere. Seize, Mrs. Irlyn. Mrs. Irlyn? How do you do, Lord Augustus? Are you quite well this morning? Quite well. Thank you, Mrs. Irlyn. You don't look at all well, Lord Augustus.  It is so bad for you. You really should take more care of yourself. Goodbye, Lord Windermere. Goes towards door with a bow to Lord Augustus. Suddenly smiles and looks back at him. Lord Augustus, won't you see me to my carriage? You might carry the fan. Allow me. No, I want Lord Augustus. I have a special message for the dear Duchess. Won't you carry the fan, Lord Augustus? If you really desire it, Mrs. Irlyn. Of course I do. You'll carry it so gracefully. You would carry off anything gracefully, dear Lord Augustus. When she reaches the door, she looks back for a moment at Lady Windermere. Their eyes meet. Then she turns and exits centre, followed by Lord Augustus. You will never speak against Mrs. Irlyn again, Arthur, will you? She is better than one thought her. She is better than I am. Smiling as he strokes her hair. Child, you and she belong to different worlds. Into your world evil has never entered. Don't say that, Arthur. There is the same world for all of us, and good and evil, sin and innocence go through it hand in hand. To shut one's eyes to half of life that one may live securely is as though one blinded oneself that one might walk with more safety in a land of pit and precipice. Moves down with her. Darling, why do you say that? Sits on sofa.  We were never separated. We never must be again. Oh, Arthur, don't love me less, and I will trust you more. I will trust you absolutely. Let us go to Selby. In the rose garden at Selby the roses are white and red. Enter Lord Augustus centre. Arthur, she has explained everything. Lady Windermere looks horribly frightened at this. Lord Windermere starts. Lord Augustus takes Windermere by the arm and brings him to front of stage. He talks rapidly and in a low voice. Lady Windermere stands watching them in terror. My dear fellow, she had explained every damned thing. We all wronged her immensely. It was entirely for my sake she went to Darlington's rooms, called first at the club. Fact is, wanted to put me out of suspense. And being told I had gone, followed, naturally frightened when she heard a lot of us coming in. Retired to another room. I assure you, most gratifying to me, the whole thing. We all behaved brutally to her. She is just the woman for me. Suits me down to the ground. All the conditions she makes are that we live entirely out of England. A very good thing, too. Damned clubs, damned climate, damned cooks, damned everything. Sick of it all. Has Mrs. Erlin advancing towards her with a low bow? Yes, Lady Windermere. Mrs. Erlin has done me the honour of accepting my hand. Well, you are certainly marrying a very clever woman. Taking your husband's hand. Ah, you are marrying a very good woman. Curtain. End of Act 4. End of Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde. This recording is in the public domain.


Greetings, my esteemed subscribing tons. Welcome to the great Q&A of eternal wisdom. Let's get into the questions at hand. Dear the golden one, I'm looking to start learning a martial art, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any recommendations for a beginner? Thank you for all that you do and congratulations on 100k sincerely, Alex. Yes, I get this question quite often and it warms my heart. It's a good question. I definitely endorse everyone who wants to start training a martial art. But it's really quite simple. Just go to your local club or the nearest possible club, say to them, I'm a beginner. Do you have any good classes for me to join? Usually all clubs have beginner classes, then more advanced, then competition group, etc. And you can just go into the beginner's group, say, hello, here I am, I'm completely new, so be nice to me and teach me. Otherwise you can just take some private lessons first, but generally speaking, it's really a really simple process. You can just go in, say, I'm new and I want to start and they will sort you out. Next question, also a training related one from Peter. For someone moving to more and heavier compound based training, how do you suggest dividing them over a week? I used to do mainly squat, weighted pull ups and bench with some dumbbell twice a week. Now I'm adding deadlifts and military press too much for one day. I also do taekwondo twice a week. Looking forward to your response. Yes, I would definitely suggest that you do bench press together with deadlift and military press together with squats. And I would put the squat session before the deadlift session, because if you have done heavy deadlifts, your lower back might be too tired to perform the squats. Whereas the squats do not have a similarly taxing effect on the lower back, even though it taxes it a bit. But anyway, I would suggest doing bench and deadlift twice a week, squats and military press twice a week and then taekwondo twice a week. So a lot of training, you will probably have to up your calories, but that is my best recommendation. Next question from Tony Mirac. Greetings, Golden One. Have you ever read the Witcher book series? If you have, I'm curious to know what you think of them. And the absolute blasphemy that is the Netflix adaptation. Funny you should ask, I actually have three books, three first books here. So Blood of Elves, Aesthetic Cover. We have Time of Contempt also, Aesthetic Cover. And The Last Wish. And yes, also this one has an aesthetic cover. I haven't read them yet though, because I have quite a few books to read before I get into this. But I do believe I will read them over Christmas, because I think that might be a cozy Christmas feel to read these books. And I will try to read them before I make the Let's Place on the Witcher, now that I've hit 100,000 I can finally do it. But yeah, I will get back to you on how I find the books. In regards to the Netflix adaptation, it's not something I will watch. I will only get disappointed, and I don't have a Netflix account. So I can't really comment about it. But yeah, I mean, no one should have any high expectations for Netflix to make a cool series. So yeah, that's how it is. So we have a special question. I got a while back via the private messages function, and it's a bit of... Yeah, before I begin to answer the question for anyone who's watching this, this is a guy coming to me for advice. So this is just my advice. Take it for what it is. So here's the question. Good evening.   I'm now out of that lifestyle and want to grow as a man. So my question is, do you have any advice for specifically homosexual men? Since we can't build a family like a straight man, it is easy to see one's own existence as meaningless. Which maybe is the reason many of us fall into an immoral lifestyle. So a second more specific question. What contributions to society can a homosexual man make? So yes, a tough question. I, as a straight man, perhaps is not the best to answer this question. But since you've come to me for advice, I'm just going to give my take on it anyway. So first of all, most good thing that you have gone away from that lifestyle. I can't imagine it to be a happy and fulfilling lifestyle to have a lot of degenerate promiscuous sex. And I say this even more for straight people. I don't endorse any sort of promiscuity. I can't see it being, I can't see anything good coming out of living a promiscuous lifestyle.   And if you are in a position where you have lived that lifestyle, yeah, it's absolutely saluted. If you can tell others to not go down the same road, because if you know it's bad for you, you can tell others. So, yeah, that's actually one contribution you can make specifically as a homosexual man to tell others to not live a certain lifestyle, because it's obviously celebrated in today's de-ender society. Then to answer your second question in regards to finding meaning for a man, and this is true for a tiny minority of women as well, you don't need to have a family to contribute to society. After all, as a man, you have the biological function of being expendable. So if you don't create a family, you can still contribute to society in positive ways. So if we look upon inventors, etc., who have not had a family, Nikola Tesla, for example, he didn't have a family, he could concentrate solely on his particular endeavor. So if you can find a particular endeavor, be it scientific or artistic or whatever it might be, view it as a blessing in disguise of sorts that you can focus fully on that instead of taking time to create a family. Now, of course, the optimal would be to have a family, but if that's not possible, yeah, then you have extra time to concentrate fully on your endeavor.  Focus on the higher instead. Focus on your path of excellence if you can find it. So that would be my best recommendation. Now, of course, this isn't specifically to homosexuals. This can apply to a man who, for some reason, do not want to engage with women or who can't engage with women. So keep that in mind. Your only contribution to society is not by having children. There are plenty of other ways you can contribute to society. You just have to find your own way to do it. So for any man who does not have a family, do not despair. You are still playing a part in saving our great civilization. Next question from Adeptus Custodis. And for those of you who don't know what an Adeptus Custodis is, it's an elite bodyguard for the Emperor of Mankind from Horace Heresy and Warhammer 4K. So they are similar to the Space Marines but a bit better and a bit more individualistic. They are the guardians of the palace. So anyway, the question goes as follows. Hail friend, what are your opinions on property ownership and entrepreneurship? I see them as goals which we should endeavor to maximize amongst our people. Yes, I completely agree. If I were put in charge of Sweden tomorrow and could formulate any economic policy as I wanted, I would make it as simple and straightforward as possible for small companies, family businesses, entrepreneurs to get started. That's the absolutely most important thing I would say to get a thriving economy, that you can have small local businesses instead of the current crony capitalist system where we have massive corporations who are influencing legislation so that they can impose certain regulations that only they can afford to implement. So if we're talking about regulations, yeah, they're usually mostly striking against small companies because the larger companies can afford to circumvent them. So anyway, as I've said before, I am a firm believer in supporting your local economy, buying local, supporting small companies, supporting family-owned businesses instead of going for the larger ones because there is such a thing called economics of scale which is important, I might make a separate video on it. It simply means that the more you can buy the larger quantity of a certain thing you can produce or import, the cheaper each product is. So that is why Nike or Adidas not only do they have all their factories in third world countries where they pay ridiculously low amount of money to their workers, they also have the economics of scale advantage which means that they can produce on such gigantic scale that each piece, each product costs much less than if you produce less. So yeah, that being said, if I were put in charge of the economics of Sweden, I would do everything in my power to make it easier for entrepreneurs, smaller companies, local companies, etc. to have an easy time. Next question, another training question from Thomas. I have a deadlift question. I see you always bend your neck to look up as you start your lifts whereas I always thought this was bad for your spine to do this. PS, thanks for the glorious training videos you've inspired me to hit a new deadlift PR of 105kg. First of all, congratulations on your new deadlifting PR, always nice to hear. So my mental cue for keeping a good spine when I do deadlifts is to simply pick a spot on the wall or in the mirror and focus on that the entire time. So the gaze is at one spot during the entire lift, that is my mental cue. Next question from Brad. Is it possible to be Christian and pagan at the same time? No, I wouldn't really say so. Then of course you can take my more secular stance on it where I don't really care about the religions per se. I more view it in a cultural sense so you can use cultural expressions from both time periods. So a Templar but you can also promote the aesthetics of a pagan chieftain or something like that. So if you look at the cultural side of things, yeah sure it can work but if you look at the spiritual, no they're quite in contrast to each other. So in spiritual terms no, in cultural terms yes, but in cultural terms I would say it's more of a European thing. From Grandmaster Mike. What are your two favorite nogi submissions? Well if I will recommend something to learn for predicaments on the street I probably would say guillotine and rare naked choke. For rolling etc. I would choose an americana and a triangle, I like those. Next question from my man Robert Green. Dear glories lion, how do you overcome on the days you wake up and are lacking motivation? I really don't have those sort of days often but if you do I would suggest looking at your sleep patterns. I will make a separate sleep video later on but in regards to lacking motivation it's simply a matter of doing it. Discipline beats motivation so if you get into a good routine you will just do it whether you have motivation or not. Some days if you're talking about training you have more motivation that's great but you can't rely on motivation to get the job done. So yeah, perhaps not much of an answer but some insights at least. Moving over to Subscribestar we have. Joe asks, the golden one you're undeniably juicy. For the average man wouldn't a smaller endurance based physique be more practical given the uncertain nature of our time? No I would not say so. As far as I see it it should be to, if you walk down the street you should be safer, you should be more imposing, you should be more of an imposing individual so that you can better protect your loved ones and yourself and just random people on the street. Imagine if an old woman gets robbed next to you. You will probably want to be able to punch as hard as possible with your right cross or your left hook. Same thing if you see a woman being sexually harassed on the street. If you want to step in you want to do it as effectively as possible so then strength training being a bit muscular and having good martial skills are the best options so it's not about having a good endurance primarily. Then of course that is good but we're not in that sort of scenario. We are in Gotham City, it's on many streets it's generally quite unsafe but yeah you should have the physique and the abilities of a street fighter more than a soldier. The soldier part might come later, I don't know but as it is right now I simply want all guys to be imposing so that they can stay out of trouble or if trouble should come to you that you should be able to deal with it in the best possible way. So if you look upon in Sweden's case for example when are old women being attacked by certain men? Yes when there are no real men around. If there are real men around who look imposing, who look confident, yeah they will not start any trouble. That's usually the case. Same thing when do women get sexually harassed? Yeah when there are no imposing men nearby so that is the goal at this moment in time. Then of course also when we're talking about the metapolitical and the culture war if we're talking about posting physique we need to look good, we need to look healthy and fit and aesthetically pleasing so that we can win so that our ideas can win the culture war. So gym and martial arts is the way forward. Last question from Patrick. What are your thoughts on firearms and general weapons access and training? Not only in Sweden or Vineland but across the West since our people are massively outnumbered. Yeah definitely I encourage all weapon training. If you can access it train with, yeah the more the merrier. So train with guns, train with knives, train with everything basically it never hurts. It's always a good idea. And yeah of course within what the law says you can do so I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal here. But to answer the question should you train with weapons? Yes definitely why not. If for no other reason it's fun. So yeah those were the majority of questions at least and thank you so much everyone for your continued support. And yeah it enables me to make these videos so thank you for that. Have a glorious weekend ahead. X-XO BOOM!
