Hey You!
When did you decide to be transgender?
Uhm, I didn't decide to be transgender, I am transgender.
What's your real name?
Hmmm what's my real name?
My real name is Tygh.
You were always such a pretty girl.
Uhh...Thank you?
Hey if you like girls the why didn't just stay a lesbian?
Basically, there wasn't a choice in the matter.
Simple as that.
Hey, did you get the surgery?
Um, the surgery?
The surgery?
Did you get the surgery?
How do you have sex?
I don't know, how do you have sex?
Hey, what's in your pants?
What's in my pants?
Calvin Kleins?
Can I see some old pictures of you, you know like baby pictures?
Well, I have old pictures but I just met you and why would you want to ask me this question?
I don't really care about your baby pictures.
You look strong.
Doesn't Testosterone build your muscles?
If I look strong it's not because I'm on Testosterone.
Yes Testosterone aids in building muscle but you have to work out to build the muscle.
If you don't work out then you're just going to be maybe a skinny or fat or just a normal
hairier person with less hair on your head.
You got to work out.
It's not like a steroid.
In fact I have as much T as the average "CIS" guy in their system.
Period.
Wow, you're pretty short for a guy.
You know that's a pretty ignorant statement.
There are many guys shorter than me.
Take a look around.
Is there a Mrs. Lawrence-Clarke here?
Uhm why are you calling me that?
Well, there's an F on your insurance card.

IPPS-A Is Coming to the Army National Guard! - Duration: 1:57.
IPPS-A is coming to the Army National Guard.
Are you an Army National Guard Service Member?
Are you a unit Readiness NCO?
Are you a Commander or in a leadership position?
Then it's important that you know what the Army is working
on to make your life easier.
It's the Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army.
A cutting-edge, online Human Resources
information system that includes personnel and pay
capabilities that will be rolled out to the Total Force.
And the Army National Guard is leading the way for IPPS-A
for the Army.
For the first time ever, one comprehensive Army personnel
system will streamline transitions between Active, Guard
and Reserve service.
IPPS-A is being developed to eliminate manual data entry
into multiple systems and reduce the manual workarounds for
HR service providers, meaning they can focus on taking care
of Guardsmen and their Families.
The system will also be able to track Guard Soldiers when
they transfer to different units in other states, meaning
when they move, their records will seamlessly transfer with
them.
From the first day of a Guardsman's career to the very
last, IPPS-A will be with them, through their entire
career.
Every step of the way.
Thanks to input from all the 54 states, territories and
the District of Columbia, IPPS-A will be implemented by
fielding groups to make the rollout as smooth as possible.
The Army is committed to developing and deploying a system
that is secure, efficient, comprehensive, and mobile to
improve your military quality of life.
To keep up on the developments of IPPS-A and when you will
start benefiting from it, go to ipps-a.army.mil

La Bola - Paso a Paso con JG - Duration: 4:26.
Welcome again
to step by step with Javier Guillén
on today's episode I will show you
how to make a dessert that's part of the surprise collection
I call it "The Ball"
let's take a look
STEP 1: CASHEW FILLING
1000 g cashew pulp
40 g gelatin
700 g sugar
500 g glucose syrup
Well, we are going to prepare the cashew filling
we add the pulp
we mix it with the gelatin while it's cold
we let it heat a little
and now we add
the sugar
and glucose syrup
we mix well
and we bring it to the boil
once it has boiled
we will store it in the fridge for 3 hours
so, when it has boiled
we pour it on a bowl
and now we're ready to put this in the fridge
we will leave it there for 3 hours
STEP 2: CRUNCHY HAZELNUT
200 powdered hazelnut
200 g flour
200 g butter
200 g brown sugar
200 g hazelnut
Now, we are going to make the crunchy hazelnut
as always we incorporate the solid ingredients first
powdered hazelnut
slightly crushed hazelnut to add crunchiness
brown sugar
all purpose flour
and we add the butter little by little
and once they are well blended we don't work this dough too much
so
when the butter has blended already
we stop
and we put
the mixture
on a tray
we stretch it well
and we bake it for 20 minutes
to 150 degrees
STEP 3: WHIPPED GANACHE
500 g cashew pulp
200 g cream
100 g glucose syrup
400 g white chocolate
600 g liquid cream
Well, we will start with the anacardium ganache
or cashew as you prefer to call it
we add the fruit pulp
glucose syrup
the smaller part of the cream
remember we have two different amounts
we add the smaller part
and we wait for the boil
It is boiling right now
so we remove the heat
and we pour it on the chocolate
and we mix well
once the chocolate melts
we add
the rest of the cream
we blend well
and we refrigerate it for 4 hours
STEP 4: ASSEMBLY
Finally we have whipped the dessert already
the surprise ball, like I was telling you before is a surprise
because everything goes inside
whatever we like the most
we have the cashew whipped ganache
our crunchy hazelnut
and the gelatin
first we will use
the whipped ganache
and we use the electric mixer until we get a Chantilly-like texture
like whipped cream
meanwhile
begin assembling
we add the crunchy almonds
and we add a couple of gelatin cubes
now we have
the whipped ganache ready
we fill a pastry bag
and we put the filling inside the ball
well my friends, that's all for today's show
step by step with Javier Guillén
today we made a surprise ball
¿Why?
because inside you will find the things we like the most

see you next time

Before you start asking any questions
I want to say thank you for one million subscribers.

BUT...NOTHING!
I just hit one million subscribers and I cant wait to get my golden play button!
Do you even remember hitting 100k!!?
YEP!
(attempts country accent)
It was in summer of 95
Old West Song from "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" plays ironically
Back when...
YouTube was just a search engine.
I was the only international internet-er that made YouTube videos...
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAT
Stop!
I don't even think there was a such thing in 1995
and why are you even talking in a cowboy accent?
Beats me I think the man's lost his crackers!
Who...the...f#ck...is...that!?
I have no ide-
(laughs) LOLZ dat be mah cuz brehh
Why must you talk as if there's a huge carrot stuck in the back of your throat?
Aye nig you don know mah hood

AND PUSHED OUT OF THE SAME VA-
("WHOA!" from 2 sciences)
(breaks 4th wall) kids are watching
So who are all of these people again?
Where did you come fro-
Well I'm Science I'm supposed to be getting my One million subscriber playbutton

Why yes last time I checked just hit 6,000
(generic doorbell obviously downloaded))

(brother trying to calm down other brother by calling him twit)
(captain obvious)
(walks the fuck in like a savage instead of waiting for a nigga to answer the door)
WOAH...WOAH
(looks confused as if its okay to just walk into somebodies house like that... but still doesn't give two fucks)

Six of us are in this room to celebrate
Science's achievement of 6,000 subscribers.
So why isn't there 6,000 of us?
yeah 6 is like...way off of 6,000 that's like
1,000 sixes off
ARE YOU MAD?
6,000 sciences could not fit in one room...let alone one house
Yo! why do you talk like that?
That and the editing would take years if six-thousand of him had a turn to talk
Then why an interview with 6 different Sciences...
why not a mansion full of 6,000 different sciences in some kind of party you know?
I don't think sixthousand subscribers is that big of a deal
man I'm sure editing this is gone be a BITCH

ZenHOW: How to Make an A0 Size Poster with ZenFone Zoom S | ASUS - Duration: 3:19.
Hi everyone
this is Marcus, with another episode of ZenHOW
Today we'll be taking a closer look
at the ASUS's new ZenFone Zoom S
and it's exceptional camera.
How to Make an A0 Poster with ZenFone Zoom S
The ZenFone Zoom S has an incredible 13MP front camera
and a 12MP rear camera
It has an extremely long lasting 5000mAh battery
which can last up to 42 days on standby
from a single charge.
The 64GB internal storage which can be extended
up to 2TB with a microSD card
gives you plenty of space
for your photos and 4K videos.
Something that makes this phone so special
is it's dual lens camera
It comes equipped with both
a standard 25mm wide angle lens
and a 59mm 2.3x optical zoom lens
So today I'm going to show you
the benefits of having a dual-lens smartphone
And then we're going to test the quality of the photos
by blowing one up into an extremely large A0 poster
In general, a wide angle lens
is suitable for street or panorama photography
But what happens if you want to
to shoot a nice portrait or
shoot something else a little bit further away
We've all experienced the frustrations of
not being able to get a nice close shot
of a pop star on stage
or some action at Sunday football match
but because it's Tuesday and there's no star in town
we're at the Taipei zoo
one of the largest in Asia
and a leader conservation, research and education
Let's go find some animals
With the wide angle lens
you can see many details of this beautiful lizard
but with the 59mm lens
we're able to get some great shots
because we're going to blow up
one of these photos to an A0 size
let's make sure we have the camera settings right
We are in manual mode
The ISO is around 200 or below to reduce noise
and the focus is right
because we set a low ISO for better image quality
and it's quite dark here
we select a slower shutter speed but don't worry
this phone has a built-in image stabilizer
that keeps our photos in focus.
OK, guys we're done here
So, let's go somewhere to print this
Wow, this came out even better than I expected
For a photo taken with a cellphone this is an awesome result
OK guys, that's it for today
Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe
and keep sending those photos you take with the new ZenFone Zoom S
See you guys next time, on next ZenHOW

Eudaimonia (2017)- A short film - Duration: 5:37.
THE REASON WHY WE ARE IN SUCH A MESS IS NOT
SIMPLY THAT WE HAVE WRONG SYSTEMS FOR DOING THINGS,
WHETHER THEY BE TECHNOLOGICAL, POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS
BUT WE HAVE THE WRONG PEOPLE.
THE SYSTEMS MAYBE ALRIGHT BUT THEY ARE IN THE WRONG HANDS BECAUSE
WE ARE ALL IN VARIOUS WAYS
SELF-SEEKING
LACKING IN WISDOM
LACKING IN COURAGE
AFRAID OF DEATH
AFRAID OF PAIN
UNWILLING REALLY TO COOPERATE WITH OTHERS
UNWILLING TO BE OPEN TO OTHERS
AND WE ALL THINK THATS TOO BAD, ITS ME THATS WRONG
AND IF ONLY I COULD BE THE RIGHT PERSON
IS THIS MAN GOING TO TELL ME SOMETHING
THAT WILL HELP ME TO CHANGE MYSELF
SO THAT I WILL BE A MORE CREATIVE AND COOPERATIVE MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE.
SO, YOU LOOKED THROUGH THE MIRROR.
DON'T GET SCARED OF WHAT YOU SEE.
I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
YES! BECAUSE YOU WERE INSIDE THOSE WALLS SINCE FOREVER.
BUT I KNEW WE WEREN'T SEEING EVERYTHING WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE HIDDEN MIRROR.
YES! CURIOSITY OFTEN LEADS YOU TO REALIZATION.
BUT HOW DO I REACH THAT LAND?
YOU WALK!
WALK? BUT HOW?
YOU CAN STILL CHOOSE TO GET BACK INSIDE IF YOU ARE AFRAID.

what a coincidence
why do you have so many books
I cleaned the house today
I just brought these books to school to pass time reading
wow, I didn't think you liked reading this much
oh and yesterday, dinner was your treat
today, I'll treat everyone
sure
I'm not going
Rongrong, don't be angry
I hope you guys can make it at least
should we go?
I feel like he doesn't have good intentions
go
I want to see what tricks he's up to
we can't always hide in the shadows
okay, I know
we'll go, why wouldn't we?
there's good food to be eaten, of course we'll go
what about Lu Yin?
of course I'm going
good
Xiao Mo can't go. Xiao Mo's going home with me to eat rice porridge
I'm not going to listen to you
I'm following Lu Bai
Lu Bai's going, then I'm going
traitor
okay then, then it's decided
I hope that everyone can make it today
Rongrong
if today... you can also come
I think
don't worry
I definitely won't come
Rongrong
we're going
see you tonight
hello students
the collegiate basketball tournament ended yesterday
our college achieved glory this year
we won number in the competition once again
yeah (x100)
this was all due to the careful guidance of our basketball team's coach Zhou
and the arduous training of our team members
here I would like to specially thank two of our classmates
Shen Yan and Gu Han
they are the strongest members of our school's team
they contributed greatly to our school's victory
and have won our school's additional 5000 yuan scholarship
I invite you two to come on stage
hello, hello everyone, hello fellow students
I am a main player on our school's basketball team
I'm called Gu Han
the reason why we were able to win the championship this time
is because of the hard work of every member on our team
at the same time
I have to thank captain Shen Yan for his help
however
I'm not going to brag
I will lead our team to more victories in future competitions
thank you everyone
how shameless
it's obviously Shen Yan's hard work
but he's giving himself all the credit
Rongrong
don't be so biased against Gu han
Gu Han also worked really hard
yeah, right
hello teacher, hello fellow students
I am Shen Yan
in all honesty, the fact that we were able to win the championship in this competition
was out of my expectations
the students who didn't watch the match probably don't understand clearly
the first half, due to various reasons
we almost missed our chance at the championship
here, firstly, I would like to thank Gu Han
it was his timely arrival that helped us decisively take the championship
this also let me realize
that in a sports teams
the trust and unity between team members is extremely important
every team member is crucial to the team
not a single one is dispensible
no matter in what field
more people brings more strength
the match this time, I can't take the credit for
I want to thank the school and our coach for their trust
and giving me the opportunity to be here
I also want to thank my team members
and my friends who have always supported me
thank you everyone
I thank both students for their wonderful speeches
our award ceremony will begin now
hello everyone
sorry, there was a bit of traffic
sit sit
why didn't Rongrong come
she has something to do
I think she's lying about having something to do
she probably still holds a grudge against me
how could she?
don't worry about it
okay then
another day, I'll go find her alone and apologize again
here, everyone drink
here
here
eat. don't have to be polite
we can finally start eating
it all looks so yummy
xiao Bai, you should eat. it tastes really good
look at how you're eating
but I wonder what your sister's eating at home
yeah, it's her first time eating alone at home
how about we take some home for her
someone like her who can't live properly by herself
it wouldn't be good if she starved to death
that's true
it's already nine but they're still not back
but it's even better that they're not back
like this, there's no one fighting me for the food
there isn't much meaning in drinking beer
how about...
we drink some white wine
sure
be careful
he obviously wants to use the same trick he used that night of the party
to make us drunk in order for us to reveal our true selves
we don't have much alcohol tolerance
beer is manageable, but we can't drink white wine
all right, I understand
um... we can't drink white wine
if you can't drink white wine, then eat your favorite chicken
okay, you eat too
Lu Bai
don't ruin the mood
it's rare that everyone's happy today
the unhappy things in the past
let's put them in the alcohol and drink them down
Gu Han
they can't drink white wine, don't force them
I'll drink with you
Lu Bai
this is my second glass
c'mon, fill it
my brother can't drink white wine
I think that even if your alcohol tolerance isn't high
it's fine to just drink one glass
right?
it's better not to force someone to do something they don't want to do
ge, you should sit down
then okay, I'll just drink one glass
wait a second
this glass, I'll drink for him
Xiao Mo
this is the glass Lu Bai agreed to drink
why did you drink it
then I'll drink another glass
he fainted just from that
um... we'll leave now
you guys can keep on drinking
I'll be leaving
bye
as expected, tonight was actually a trap
Gu Han has quite a lot of intentions
at least now we've confirmed that he's an enemy
from now on, stay far away from him
for you three to meet me, it's your misfortune
if you have money, then quickly take it out
if you don't have money
then my brothers... won't be pleased with that
dumbass
Lu Bai
take care of Xiao Mo
I'll take them on
elder brother
remember not to use your magic
of course I know
I've waited a thousand years
and now I can finally use my muscles
brothers
attack him
Gu Han
Gu Han
Gu Han
c'mon, cheers
here, cheers
Yan ge, I have to take a call
okay
hello? oh Yan ge
hello Yuan ge
yeah Yuan ge, yes yes yes
yeah okay
now that you've seen who I am
then I'm going to have to kill you today
are you guys here to watch a fucking movie
we fell for it
quickly, let's go
what was that? what happened?
what was that?
what the hell?
it seems we hadn't completely erased Gu Han's memory last time
then what do we do?
what's fated to happened will happened
let's just counter his tricks
you're back
what happened?
he smells entirely of alcohol
it's okay. he just drank a little too much
Rongrong, why don't you go get a cup of water
why did you guys let him drink this much alcohol
it's all because of the one called Gu Han
he was purposely trying to get us drunk
that bastard again
I just knew he didn't have good intentions
let's just not talk about it
quickly let him drink some water
Lu Bai
Lu Yin
Xiao Rongrong
why am I at home
what do you think?
you can't drink alcohol, but you still drank that much
obviously xiao Bai and Lu Yin brought you home
Gu Han
go three hundred li east of the city (t/n: lǐ is an ancient measure of length, about 500 meters)

Cast a Mini Aluminum Skillet - Start to Finish - Duration: 8:59.
In this video. I'll show how I cast this mini aluminum skillet using basic materials and skills
Welcome to another episode of the Plutonium Bunny
The first ingredient is greensand. I store it in these handy cat litter buckets. It is made of cat litter and sand
Making the mold is really the most difficult part of the whole process
It begins with placing the skillet in the casting flask and dusting it with baby powder
I use a sock as my duster for even coverage
Then I sprinkle greensand onto the skillet to make sure that there are no clumps
This is important to ensure good detail in the casting
After I have the skillet covered I pack the sand down with my hands and add another layer until
I fill the flask up to the top
Once the flask is full, I pack the sand down using a rammer and
Then level the top like you would spread concrete
After carefully flipping the flask over I used a spoon to remove excess sand that got underneath the skillet
The skillets handle is round so I needed to remove sand to the halfway point
This helps the skillet to release better from the mold. Being careful at this part will make a better casting later,
so be sure to take your time and do a good job
I also eventually press the sand around the handle so that it wouldn't come loose
When I was happy with the sand around the handle I dusted the skillet with baby powder and
then dusted the sand so it wouldn't stick during the next step. I then put on the other half of my casting flask,
using pegs in holes drilled in the two by fours
Then I repeated the mold making process
Sprinkling sand onto the skillet and then ramming it down as I built up the mold
At this point it would be good to say that the ideal greensand is just wet enough to hold together without crumbling
It shouldn't be so wet that it sticks to your hand a lot when you squeeze it
This is important for making a mold that doesn't crumble before use or make steam bubbles when it touches molten aluminum
When I had finished the other half I very carefully separated the two halves of the mold
I did this by inching them apart to separate the sand and then lifting them fully apart
I tried to lift them straight up as much as possible
To remove the skillet I first tapped it with a screwdriver to loosen it
And then lifted it straight up, trying not to disturb the handle too much
I used a large one-inch pipe to cut the sprue where the metal flows into the mold
It should be fairly large so that it can feed molten metal into the shrinking casting
I then used a smaller pipe to cut the riser where metal flows back out of the mold when it is full
The finished mold looked like this with the sprue, the riser, and
a small vent I cut in the handle with a skewer. This will let air out of the mold so that the aluminum can fill it
With both halves of the mold completed I
carefully set them on top of each other trying to go straight down as much as possible so that I would not disturb the sand
with any bumping about sideways
Outside I started some charcoal using a charcoal chimney. This works better than starting it directly in the furnace
I poured the hot charcoal into the propane tank furnace
And then turned on the ShopVac that supplies the air
I also felt the airstream to make sure I wasn't adding too much air
While I waited for the furnace to get going I felt my crucible with broken bits of a cast aluminum
vacuum cleaner, trying to get it as full as possible
Then I used tongs made of welded steel rods to place the crucible in the middle of the furnace
Trying to get it as level as possible
With the crucible in the furnace I turned the air on again and put the lid on
This furnace has an exhaust vent where the propane valve would go
A few times during the melt I took the lid off to add aluminium and fuel
One problem with this type of furnace is that it burns fuel unevenly which makes the crucible tilt
Propane furnaces do not have this problem
This kind of furnace is just fine for a beginner though as it only uses basic materials and does not require gas
regulation equipment
When the crucible was full of molten aluminum
I heated it three minutes after the last piece became molten to make sure that the aluminum was up to pouring temperature
Then I sprinkled on a mixture of sodium chloride and sodium carbonate which flux and degass the metal respectively
I scraped off the slag trying not to get molten aluminum all over my furnace. Believe me, it's happened before
I then used my tongs to grab the crucible and
smoothly poured it into the sprue. It is important to pour in one continuous motion
I replaced the crucible in the furnace prevent thermal shock and then put on the lid to let everything cool down slowly
In this sped up clip you can see the aluminum in the sprue shrinking as it cools which I thought was pretty cool
After half an hour of cooling I broke open the mold to reveal a successful casting
I was really impressed with how the skillet turned out. The aluminum completely filled the mold even though there were thin sections
Some of my other castings haven't turned out this way
But the important thing is just to keep trying again. One casting even took me three tries to get right
But I learned a lot from the process
Failure isn't necessarily bad as long as you keep learning
The greensand can be reused indefinitely. It is a bit dry, but adding water and remixing will freshen it up again
And it can be used for the next casting
To finish the casting I cut the sprue and riser off using a hacksaw with a metal blade
The bottom was still not flat so I used a file to smooth it out. This took a while and was fairly tedious
The inside of the skillet was also a bit rough, so I sanded that smooth using some 80 grit sandpaper
This will help food not stick to it when it is used for cooking
I finished the skillet up by giving it a good shine with a wire brush
Now it really looks presentable
The skillet works well, so I hope you enjoyed and thank you for watching another episode of the Plutonium Bunny
