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

I want to say thank you for one million subscribers.

(confused beyond comprehension breathing)

There must be a misunderstanding...

(laughs then makes weird noises to shut up interviewer)

Don't be a party-pooper Mr. Science!

but sir..(gets cut the actual fuck off)

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

I'm your brother

we were raised in the same house

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

(annoyed as fuck sigh)

Why yes last time I checked just hit 6,000

(generic doorbell obviously downloaded))

(stereotypical black-people police-panic)

(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)

you can't just walk in to somebodies house like that

(get's pissed at the hypocrisy)

(lies through his teeth)

(he has)

(this British nigga was never invited)

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

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.

Episode Eleven

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)

to the Taoist temple at the peak of Mt. Cloud-Sea

and find the Taoist priest

give him the exorcist mirror

he will then use all his powers to assist you

and tell what you should do next

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
