My dear, I don't want to fight you.
But if I must...
- Steve! - Come on, let's go!
Sammy, let's go!
Get these things out of here.
Oh my dear, you have so much to learn.
Oh my God!
What are we gonna do?
There is not much we can do...
...if that's who I think it is.
But we can stop that plane.
If we could get on the radio...
...we can ask flying corp to shoot her down.
No. If it crashes, it will wipe everyone out for 50 square miles.
We gotta ground it!
Bad news. It's on a timer.
If we ground it here, it's the same thing.
Is it flammable, Chief?
Yes, you said it's hydrogen. It's flammable.
I need you guys to clear me a path to that plane.
- No, Steve! - Hey, Steve!
Come on!
Come on! This way! Steve!
- Come on, Steve. - Ahead! Go!
Steve!
Let's see what kind of god you really are.

Can't You Have Objective Moral Values Based on Mutual Self Interest? - Duration: 2:17.
So earlier you were explaining about the moral argument for the existence of God. I've heard
atheistic people speaking on that and saying that it's still internally consistent if
you swap out the existence of God for mutual self-preservation. So the idea
that you treat other people with respect because you won't be treated with
love and respect, and you show people you act in a positive way. You don't kill or rob
because you don't want to be killed or robbed. How do you respond to that?
Right the question was, "Can't you have objective moral values based upon a kind of mutual
self-interest; you don't rob and steal from others so that they won't rob and
steal from you? I think this just is to say that moral values and duties are not
objective. They're not binding. They're not normative. This is just
self-interest, and for the person who is sufficiently powerful, like a Kim Jong Un
or even Donald Trump or a Vladimir Putin, they can pretty much
ignore these constraints and do as they wish and live in self-indulgence. So this
is clearly not objective moral values and duties when you talk about mutual
self-interest. And think too, what if a person doesn't care about his
self-interest? What if he's uninterested in that? Maybe he'd just
assume die. What could you say to him to say, "Well, but you're objectively obligated to behave
this way. No! It's conditioned on whether or not he's got self-interest to survive.
So I think that just is to concede the first premise, that in the absence of God
there aren't any objective moral values and duties. Let me just clarify. By "objective," what I mean
is "valid and binding, independently whether anybody believes in them or not."

Top 10 Books That Will Make You Smarter
While reading is always stimulating, sometimes we want to go for a pure intellectual power-up.
Here are some selections we've found that are guaranteed to expand your mind and worldview.
10 - The Courage to Write Ralph Keyes
While Ralph Keyes' conversational guide is an invaluable tool for those of us who
aspire to a profession in writing, it is equally eye-opening for those who simply enjoy reading
the fruits of their labor.
Keyes' insight comes from over three decades of teaching writing, and is engaging for writers
of all levels.
Comments from successful authors are sprinkled throughout, illustrating how they overcame
roadblocks in their creative processes.
Originally published in 1995, The Courage To Write has become a standard volume for
aspiring writers and is a fascinating read for anyone.
09 - A Short History of Nearly Everything Bill Bryson
Author Bill Bryson made his name with colorful first-person accounts of stays in some pretty
challenging environments, like the Appalachian Trail and the Australian Outback.
With A Short History of Everything, Bryson challenges himself- and the reader- to comprehend
the works of some of science's greatest minds, in an effort to understand… well,
everything.
From the Big Bang to the advent of civilization to our modern day, Bryson's work is entertaining,
informative and meditative in equal measure- a trek through the history of the world through
the eyes a someone very much like us.
08 - At Home: A Short History of Private Life Bill Bryson
This 2011 work has, on the surface, a narrower focus but becomes just as involved and in-depth
as the previous entry.
Bryson is the only repeat author on our list for good reason; his work will engage you,
and show you new frames of reference for the commonplace.
This book is hands-down the single best book I have read in years.
If you only buy one book on this list, this is the one.
Since I first read it, I have bought extra copies every year to give away as gifts.
07 - Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Jared M. Diamond
The book won the 1998 Pulitzer for General Nonfiction, among other awards, and has received
excellent academic reviews as well.
It's a worldview-challenging work that deserves a read.
06 - Cosmos Carl Sagan
15 billion years of cosmic evolution are covered in a light, inclusive tone that makes Cosmos
as easy to read as it is intellectually stimulating.
It became the best selling nonfiction science book of all time upon publication, and is
responsible for the higher visibility of science-based publication and programming that continues
to this day.
05 - Predictably Irrational Dan Ariely
The basic concept- that we make completely irrational choices a great deal of the time,
yet do so in ways that are easy to predict- is elaborated on in ways that will make you
question the very motives behind the choices you make, from the trivial to the life-altering.
A provocative and stimulating read.
04 - The Holographic Universe Michael Talbot
An impressive amount of science supports Talbot's theory, which touches on everything from deja
vu and "meaningful coincidences" to the holographic nature of dreams.
It's a cohesive theory, convincingly and thoroughly explained, that will give you a
different view of the world around you- perhaps a radically different one.
03 - Contrary Notions Michael Parenti
Political analyst Michael Parenti has a long history of calling into question the established
histories and conventions that drive our society.
This collection of short works is perhaps the purest distillation of his revolutionary
worldview, and the most varied of all his works.
02 - A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn
Zinn's remarkably cohesive, conversational and controversial work is as vital as when
it was published, and offers a historical perspective on America that many of us have
never considered.
01 - Tao of Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee
The most reflective and abstract entry on this list, Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a fascinating
and stimulating read for literally anyone, the thoughts and meditations of one of the
great humanist minds of our time.

The Real Reason Prince Charles And Princess Diana Divorced - Duration: 6:12.
The marriage of Prince Charles and the late Diana of Wales might've looked like a fairy
tale at first, but there was no happily ever after for these royals.
From mutual infidelity to pressure from the rest of the royal family, let's look at why
the couple couldn't make their palace a happy home.
No love lost
When it comes to royal relationships, love isn't always a necessary ingredient for a
marital arrangement.
Diana was of royal lineage, thanks to her status as a Spencer, and Charles needed to
marry to make more heirs to the throne.
So, their relationship may have been built on convenience and duty rather than real romance.
The pair had only met a dozen times before announcing their engagement, and what an awkward
event that was.
"I'm amazed that she's been brave enough to take me on."
"And I suppose in love?"
"Of course"
If it wasn't already clear that their affection for one another wasn't quite developed, Charles
made that very clear when he said:
"Whatever in love means"
Diana would later admit that the reason she and Charles felt the need to get engaged was
pressure from the outside.
Suffering in silence
Even if they weren't burning with passion for one another on their wedding day, Prince
Charles and Lady Diana did get married before going on to have two sons together, William
and Harry.
But Princess Di suffered from the experience of becoming a mother at first, and had to
keep her bout with postpartum depression quiet.
She later said, "I was unwell with postnatal depression, which no one ever discusses…You'd
wake up in the morning feeling you didn't want to get out of bed, you felt misunderstood,
and just very, very low in yourself.
It gave everybody a wonderful new label — 'Diana's unstable and Diana's mentally unbalanced.'
And unfortunately that seems to have stuck on and off over the years."
Diana revealed that her depression led her to self-harm, cutting her arms and legs, in
an effort to rid herself of the emotional pain.
She said, "People see it as crying wolf or attention-seeking, and they think because
you're in the media all the time you've got enough attention…But I was actually crying
out because I wanted to get better in order to go forward and continue my duty and my
role as wife, mother, Princess of Wales."
She also suffered from bulimia as a result of her discontent at home, and that may have
been encouraged by her husband's treatment of her as well.
Diana's biographer, Andrew Morton, told People, "I think she slimmed before the wedding as
a result of nerves, and then the whole thing was triggered during her honeymoon, when her
husband put his arms round her and said, 'You are a bit chubby, darling.'"
Media pressures
Even the strongest of relationships might buckle under the weight of scrutiny Charles
and Diana experienced during their marriage.
As the future of Buckingham Palace, the two were constantly pursued by the media, and
Diana lamented the loss of privacy.
She later attributed some of their unhappiness to the endless attention, saying, "my husband
and I, we were told when we got engaged that the media would go quietly, and it didn't;
and then when we were married they said it would go quietly and it didn't; and then it
started to focus very much on me, and I seemed to be on the front of a newspaper every single
day, which is an isolating experience."
She went on to add that much of the scrutiny was placed her shoulders in particular, and
that she had a hard time living beneath such an intense spotlight, saying, "it was difficult
to share that load, because I was the one who was always pitched out front, whether
it was my clothes, what I said, what my hair was doing, everything…when actually what
we wanted to be, what we wanted supported was our work."
She would later attempt to retreat from the spotlight by pleading with the press:
"To understand and to give me time and space that has been lacking in recent years"
However, the media never relented, even to her dying day.
Breaking faith
Prince Charles no longer has to hide his relationship with now-wife Camilla Parker-Bowles.
But when they first struck up a romance, he was still very much married to Diana, even
if it was just a technicality for both of them.
He told The New York Times that he had been faithful to Diana "until it became irretrievably
broken down, us both having tried."
One of the most damaging royal scandals emerged when an illegally obtained phone recording
between Charles and Parker-Bowles revealed their explicit phone conversations, at least
one of which Diana overheard.
"Well there were three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded."
Diana later revealed that when she confronted Charles about his continued romance with Parker-Bowles,
he said simply, "Well I refuse to be the only Prince of Wales who never had a mistress."
However, Charles wasn't the only one who stepped out during the course of their union.
Diana also became intimate with her bodyguard Barry Mannakee during their marriage.
Mannakee was later relieved of his duties, and Diana then took up with her sons' riding
instructor James Hewitt, with whom she carried on a five-year romance.
He later described their affair by saying, "It's a gradual period and then, you know,
suddenly you can't get enough of each other or see each other as much as you want."
As a result of their dalliance, Hewitt was even rumored to be Prince Harry's father,
thanks to their shared red hair, but their romance didn't begin until two years after
the second prince was born, so the theory has since been refuted.
Charles and Diana eventually announced their separation but intended to try and make the
marriage work and continue their duties as a royal couple.
But just as they'd experienced pressure from above to walk down the aisle, they were also
subject to the same forces calling for them to officially split.
Royal decree
As a result of their obvious discord and separation announcement, Queen Elizabeth II openly demanded,
in separate letters to Charles and Diana, that the two file for divorce.
A statement from the palace explained, "After considering the present situation, the queen
wrote to both the prince and princess earlier this week and gave them her view, supported
by the Duke of Edinburgh, that an early divorce is desirable.
[Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip] will continue to do all they can to help and support the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and most particularly their children, in this difficult period."
Shortly thereafter, their divorce was finalized — and the rest is history.

Linklater's collaboration with Matthew McConaughey on "Dazed and Confused" - Duration: 2:54.
I didn't know what to do except bring the exact same methodology. Whether
I'm working with an experienced actor or an amateur - someone I knew in acting
class or someone we just found off the street - I kind of worked with him in the
same way. It's like, well here's the scene - whether it's written, you know, it's like -
here's the scene written, but what do you think? Let's work on it. That
collaborative element that I really learned in acting classes - that was just
something - I had exact ways I wanted to work. And my sister, who's my assistant -
Patricia, she's helping me on the movie - she goes, "I think Cynthia is so cute with
that red hair she should have more scenes." She's just kind of talking
and I'm like, "that's a good idea!"
What if he's flirting with her? I get called up to the set one night to do
wardrobe test and so Rick comes over in a break, he goes, "You know Wooderson's the kind
"of guy - he's already been with like the quintessential - the typical hot hotties. He's been
"with the cheerleader and all that stuff. You think he'd go after the
redheaded intellectual? Would he be interested?" And I was like, "yeah I think he would. Hey,
Wooderson likes all kinds of women." He was like, "Think he'd maybe pull up and try
and pick her up?" I'm like, "Yeah - give me 30 minutes." And I remember I took a walk.
So I started getting nervous that's my first scene ever and I started to ask myself,
"Who's my man? Who is Wooderson?" And I go, "Okay - I'm about my car. I'm about getting
high. I'm about rock and roll, and I'm about chicks." And I'm in my '70s Chevelle. There's one.
Slater's over there, so we know we've got a doobah rolled up and we're
getting high. Nugent's coming out of the speakers - we got rock and roll. And I hear
"action," and I look up and I go, "and there's the chick." So I got three out of
four. All right, all right, all right.
How you doing? Pretty good.
So that was three affirmations for what I had and it really relaxed me to
pull that. And those are the first words I ever said on film.
Bye. I love those redheads man. That dynamic kind of came out of rehearsal
and it was just - once we took that, you know, it could come even more alive when we
were shooting. I never saw films as something to just render. I always saw
them as these living breathing things trying to be something else. Do you
realize when he graduated we were like three years old?
Oh, Cynthia what are you thinking? I don't know. So are we're going to still go? Yeah, what the hell?

MAKE THE E36 GREAT AGAIN! #1 - Bushes and Air Filter - Duration: 4:41.
I was advised in comments to upgrade the E36 look
so Paul and i did a brainstorming to see what we can do to upgrade the look
And
With Paul here, hello Paul
- Hello all
- We decided to order things
But while waiting we'll install things we already received
So
This - Which are rear anti-roll bar bushes
It looks like this
- So the anti-roll bar, important in drifting, stops the roll of the car when it turns
So it's more stable
And this allows the car to be more stable
So the car is lifted up, here we go
So these are Powerflex bushes
For the reference
You'll often see on sites "Powerflex bushes n°5"
On driftshop it's the n°5, same for gt2i (French sites)
So my anti-roll bar is from a 325
Here, the diameter of the hole in the middle is 18mm
Be careful with that diameter:
If it's too short it won't fit, same if it's too long
So to change the anti-roll bar of that car
You have to remove the screw and nut above on both the 2 sides
Then push up the anti-roll bar, uncheck the support below
then pull down the anti-roll bar, remove the bushes and reassemble it
Be careful to do it simultaneously on the 2 sides
or it will apply a big strength on the bar and it might twist it
So i'm done unscrewing on both sides
I'll be able to pull it down
Give it a bit of strength
Here is what relies the anti-roll bar to the chassis
Same diameter but not the same shape, we agree on that
So here you fat the pig - Exactly
Fixed
We're done installing the bushes
Now we'll move the car and open the hood
Lowered
Now we'll move the air filter that's here
We'll readjust the hose between the flow meter and the air filter that's down here
Because we have some plans for the future
We won't tell you right now
You still need wrenches dude, what did you think
So we moved the hose
So here it's like before
then we moved it down to place the air filter in the fog light hole here
So to make this enter
there
We'll need to remove the bumper, to have some space
Looks sharp now duude
So it has been placed here
and it is fixed in the hole that's normally used for the wheel arch
reassemble it now
Voila, bumper reassembled, now
We head to the town
Guess where we are
Not explicit at all
So, where do we go

True Scary Stories: INTRUDER - Duration: 24:33.
to set the tone I always hated the town I lived in I moved there alone when I
was 18 for college and quickly regretted it it was a decent sized town but full
of not decent people there were shootings in broad daylight robberies
you name it well for the first three years I lived with roommates on a side
of town that wasn't awful but it was sketchy so when I was making decent
enough money I moved out on my own the house was tiny maybe five hundred square
feet if that super old and poorly built it was just me living there so I didn't
mind how small it was but what really sold me was that it was
in the middle of nowhere it was surrounded by a bunch of fields in some
wooded areas with only a few houses nearby considering I hated being in town
I loved the idea of living out there so at the beginning of July I moved in
everything seemed super swell - not being able to get good internet a month
goes by and everything is still great and I decided to get a dog to keep me
company he also loved the place and spent long amounts of time lounging
about the yard and trying to convince the nearest neighbor to walk over and
pet him roughly two months into living there I started to notice things out of
place something to know is that an old roommate of mine was using my spare room
as storage space until he got moved himself so he had a key but wasn't ever
there he just kind of popped in every once in a while to grab something and
usually let me know beforehand but I'd come home to my kitchen chair pulled
away from the table or a bowl in the sink things like that there were such
small things that I wrote them off as my old roommate stopping by
or just stuff I was forgetting but then my dog developed this crazy bad
separation anxiety up until now he didn't even care when I left he just lay
on the couch and chew his toys he never barked never did anything weird however
all of a sudden he began acting really awful every time I tried to leave he'd
cram his body through the door as I was closing it screaming and barking and
wouldn't stop until I came back into the house
he didn't want me to leave him there alone at all I couldn't afford a kennel
for him yet so I decided one day that I'd put a
movie in while I was out thinking maybe the sound of people talking might keep
him calm I only had to finish one task up at work and knew I'd be home early so
I put in a copy of Hamlet I know boring but I chose it because the
copy I have is five hours long I knew it would be playing when I came back three
hours later long before Hamlet should have been over I walked in the door and
not only was the movie not playing but the TV and the Xbox were completely off
I immediately called my old roommate and asked if he had been over and he wasn't
even in town I explained the TV situation to him and he thought maybe it
turned off because it was idle for a while even though I know this happens
there are several reasons I know this isn't the case one
it wasn't idling a 5ever movie was playing - even if it had shut off my
xbox wouldn't have I've left it on for days by accident when I was out of town
or whatever and it was still on when I came home always but it was completely
powered down this time the weird thing is none of my stuff was missing and the
door was locked - when I entered I eventually convinced myself that it was
something weird with the Xbox and shrugged it off that is until my dog
started acting even weirder remember earlier I mentioned he used to play with
the neighbor we'll all of a sudden if she even walked by the house while he
was out he'd start yelping and running to me away from her this was incredibly
weird and made me really cautious of her I put some cheap alarms on my doors and
slept with my pistol handy the second night the alarms were on the doors I was
woken up by the one on the back I flew out of bed with my pistol trying to
convince myself that I was about to shoot some intruder but once I got to
the door it was shut and there was nobody there the alarm had been knocked
on the way across the room the door would have had to open for it to be
chucked like that it couldn't have fallen off and landed there
and something else the door was locked but not the way I had locked it I always
locked the knob and the deadbolt but when I checked only the knob was locked
the police wouldn't do much as I had no witnesses and they didn't have much to
go on needless to say I changed the locks I didn't have any noticeable
problems inside after that but later found out that the closed neighbor that
my dog hated had previously lived in the house I was renting and the locks had
never been changed I have no way to prove my theory but it's pretty obvious
that she had a key and was coming and going as she pleased why though I can't
figure it out nothing was ever missing but the most unsettling part for me
though is that she had tried to come in at night until the alarm scared her off
how many times has she been in my house at night while I was asleep and why
thankfully I no longer live there
this takes place a few months ago as I'm walking home from my friend's house
after a few beers it's a Sunday but it's not that late maybe 11:30 it's kind of a
long walk and it's quieter than usual for a small but vibrant city of a
hundred and twenty thousand people now I'd lived there for years I'd been down
these streets a thousand times but I was almost always biking them unfortunately
I'd been hit recently until I fixed my bike I was stuck walking which was
unusual but I didn't think I'd be any less safe I take a phone call from the
person I had just broken up with I'm too exhausted for this yes it's really over
so on and so forth I'm frustrated and not paying much attention to my
surroundings but there's pretty much no one around about 15 minutes from home a
man trots across the street to talk to me he asks me something but I ignore him
he follows up with oh you on the phone I glare at him
yeah I respond going back to hammering home this breakup one needy person at a
time I pay him no more attention as I get to my apartment I take a shortcut
across the parking lot out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone else taking
the same shortcut this sticks up to me no one would walk that way unless they
were coming up to my apartment that's when I realized that it's the same man
as before he's been following me the whole time I run I live on the third
floor off of the fire escape he's a lot faster than me and he's gaining our
footsteps resonate on the rusty metal stairs through the otherwise quiet night
I get to the door of my building fumbling with my keys at this point I'm
still holding my phone to my ear not listening but still too preoccupied to
hang up I unlocked the door and I get through
but it opens outward and he's right there holding the door before I can
close it he's so close to me that I can smell his overbearing Cologne I have one
more shot to get a locked door between us my unit is the very first one I
managed to get it unlocked lightning fast and I spin around trying to close
the door at least this door opens toward the inside I slam it on his arm grasping
like a cartoon horror villain with the phone still in one hand I'm whacking the
door on his arm over and over putting all of my weight into it
here attracts his arm just for a second and I slam the door shut and lock it he
creepily whispers from the other side of the door let me in you know you wanted
no no I don't I don't even understand how you could think that he tries the
doorknob for a minute or so and that I can hear him I don't know how to put it
pawing at the door like sliding his palms across it but it's okay
I'm safe after a minute or two I hear his footsteps ringing out on the fire
escape taking my welcome mat with him I finally
end that call and crawl into bed I wish I had called the police that
night I wasn't thinking clearly I did report it to the non-emergency line
later in case he's done this to other women I know that most women have at
least one story just like this are much worse but it was my first time feeling
so unsafe I fixed my bike soon after and never walked without pepper spray again
for a few months I was afraid that he would turn up after all he knew where I
lived but fortunately I never saw him again
would-be attacker let's not meet and give me back my welcome mat
I'm an American college student nobody special but I just arrived in Sydney
Australia for an international program with my University staying at summer
accommodations next to a major campus now Sydney is a huge city and none of
the other dozen students on the program had ever been to Australia before
so naturally we buzzed with excitement despite being exhausted from the 14 hour
plane ride at the airport down under the realness set in and we all exchanged
glances we were jet-lagged hungry and tired but
something about being in a new country kept us animated we all met each other
and already started to form little cliques within the program six boys and
six girls perfect ratio we arrived at our accommodations unpacked and bought a
ton of surprisingly expensive alcohol to celebrate we were all ecstatic despite
all of us being awake more than 24 hours at that point one of the other dudes on
the programme let's call him will he'd heard that we had access to the roof
with our swipe cards we grabbed our alcohol and headed up to the top floor
the stairway is a trudge but it was a beautiful night there were huge bats
circling around above the park we came from a very snowy wintry place and
suddenly it was summer with long warm evenings you can imagine how awesome
that was truthfully that first night was awesome and nothing really out of the
ordinary happened we all got drunk played some cards took some photos and
went to bed it was the second time on the roof when we saw it now to
understand how that night transpired I have to give you a description of the
building it's pretty close to downtown with a lot of tall buildings perhaps a
half mile toward the harbour and a large park across the street the dorm building
itself has eight floors I believe and it's rectangular so the roof is rather
long but skinny the rooftop itself is concrete one side very open with chairs
plants and shade covers and the other side punctuated with a raised
rectangular structure for the doorway as you can imagine by the end of the
first week we had broken up into smaller social groups my friend will and I had
become pretty tight and he had invited Sara up onto the roof with us to
celebrate our first full week in Australia he brought some wine cheap
wine since it's so damn expensive well was trying to get with Sara
he's admittedly very handsome and I think he invited me up there just to
break the ice we couldn't find a corkscrew so we had
to force the cork down into the bottle with a knife and ended up drinking
chunks of it for the rest of the night a string of lights around the perimeter
had never worked but last time it wasn't that dark this time it was though will
and Sara started kissing and I needed to get out of there so I walked to the
other side of the roof to admire the view I'm on the far side in the large
open area and my two friends are out of sight beyond the stairwell I get out my
phone I'm texting not really paying attention and to hear a really loud
slurping noise like wet and kind of crunchy it was immediately distressing
to me because I knew we were alone I turn around and I see a very pale very
limber figure huddled in the corner of the roof near a large vent pipe the
intruder was in a crouching position facing away half obscured by a sort of
pipe and rail system but he stood out so clearly and so unnaturally with really
pointy shoulder blades and hunched so far over I couldn't look away I nearly
vomited and just typing this I have goosebumps I'm in full panic mode at
this point because we'd been up here for at least 15 minutes and the three of us
had been totally alone I looked away and I froze and I got my phone out to call
will but instantly remembered neither of us have SIM cards yet
I went to Facebook Messenger chat and did a voice call
he answered right away something like what the fuck dude listen there's
something on the roof somebody behind the stairwell I whispered but I was loud
enough to be firm I looked back over my shoulder and the thing was still there
kind of huddled and occupied with something in its grip they didn't appear
around the stairwell right away but about five seconds later I heard will
what the fuck holy shit the visitor immediately stopped and turned to face
me even in the darkness the size of its saucer eyes are still burned into my
mind they were huge on a white face it was clutching something black and small
I was so paralyzed it was on my side of the roof with only a few tables and
benches between us at this point a fucking book did as fast as I could
because there was a bit of a wall I had to go around before I got to the door to
the stairs I shut my eyes when I was close to the creature I almost crashed
into Will and Sarah as they booked it from the other side we burst through the
metal door and into the concrete stairwell and slammed it shut it boomed
so loud I'm pretty sure I got hearing loss but adrenaline was pumping and we
were basically jumping down each flight so fast I think it was still echoing
when we got to the bottom floor the three of us were screaming and crying so
loud that everyone else in the hall opened their doors to see what was going
on but we just ran to my room we shut the curtain and didn't open for anything
until the Sun came up the next morning the whole thing lasted less than 30
seconds but we couldn't sleep we just kept talking and going over everything
all night and drinking we had all seen it something very real and foreign the
next day a large group of us went up onto the roof and indeed there were a
few spots of blood where the visitor had been crouching will swears it was
crunching on one of the huge bats that circle in the afternoon that was about a
week ago and I'm still staying on the bottom floor suffice to say I will never
go up there again you
so I'm currently going through a nasty divorce I left my wife about four months
ago and moved into a house by myself close to work we have a four and a half
year old daughter which I haven't been able to see for the last four months
because my wife filed an injunction against me nothing happened
it was just divorce tactics luckily she recently came to her senses and dropped
the injunction and now I have a 50/50 timeshare with my daughter that starts
next weekend well last weekend my mom came to town to help me set up the house
because you know I'm a guy and guys have no sense of decor right at least that's
how my mom thinks and when it comes to me she's right we bought a twin bed for
my daughter's room and frozen themed furniture and decor because it's her
favorite movie and then we got a bunch of knickknacks to decorate the whole
house candles pictures fake plants rugs etc we did everything we could to make
it more homey before we bought all these rugs and set
up my daughter's room I kept my cat's litter box in there so after we set it
up I moved the litter box to another empty
bedroom well my cat didn't like the fact that her box was moved apparently she
had decided that room was going to be hers and absolutely refused to use the
litter box instead she would shit and piss on all the new carpets any time my
mom and I were out of the house so the entire weekend
the two of us had to clean the rugs finally I decided to put the litter box
back until I could figure out a solution and my daughter's room was right next to
mine fast forward to Monday late afternoon
my mom's flight is at 6 p.m. so we leave the house go out for one last meal and I
drop her off at the airport I get home around 6:30 to my newly furnished and
decorated house it definitely made me feel more at home I had no plans that
night so I spent most of the night on the couch binge watching movies and
drinking scotch around 11:30 I was pretty hammered and
stumbled to my bedroom closed the door locked it because monsters and vampires
and collapsed on my bed I passed out instantly some time later I wake up to
the worst smell I think has ever hit my nose it was so bad it actually pulled me
out of my drunken sleep it smelled like a combination of shit sweaty ball sack
Oh Gert rash and blech all mixed together my first thought was the
goddamn cat took a shit on the rug again I ignored it and tried to go back to
sleep but couldn't the smell was that bad finally I got up unlocked the
bedroom door and peeked out into the living room to see if she left a
surprise on the rug clean I looked in my daughter's room and there was a nice
turd in the litter box so the smell couldn't have been my cat I shrugged it
off closed and locked my door and collapsed on my bed again I laid there
staring into the darkness for about 30 minutes trying to fathom what I was
smelling maybe it's a combination of my cat's shit and all the cleaning products
we used over the weekend maybe a pipe burst somewhere did I forget to take the
trash out no matter what conclusion I came up with none of it made sense a
little after 5:00 a.m. I get up and walked to the bathroom and sit down to
do my business I browse reddit for a few minutes on my phone until I'm done I
flushed the toilet and then go back to bed you know that draining sound the
toilet makes after you flush I'm laying there listening to the toilet to its
drain cycle until it finally stopped and it was completely silent that's when I
heard it a sniff and the sound of someone clearing their throat from my
fucking closet I immediately jumped into survival mode
I got my phone unlocked to the bedroom door grabbed my car keys and bolted I
jumped into my car and backed out of the driveway and into my neighbor's driveway
across the street I shined my high beams at my house while I called the police
they were there within minutes the cops approached my car and I tell them there
was someone in my closet I sleep in the nude so the cops thought
I was just some crazy drunk at first but after two minutes of arguing they went
in to investigate they were in there for what seemed like hours and sure enough
they come out with a very skinny obviously homeless black man and
handcuffs they put the guy in the back of one of their cruisers and approached
my car to ask me some more questions apparently this guy snuck in through the
back sliding glass door while I was at the airport he admitted to looking for
pills or something to pawn for pills when he heard me come home he said he
freaked out and hid the smell I was smelling was his terrible Bo coming from
my closet three feet away from me this man was in my house the entire night
what if I didn't smell him what if I had my daughter over that night the thought
of it gives me shivers hey guys and ladies thanks for watching if you want
me to tell your story or read a creepypasta email me at the address in

7- 12-b Prophet Noah, peace be upon him. - Duration: 13:56.
"We had certainly sent Noah to his people,
and he said, "O my people, worship (Allah);
i.e. it is not enough for me the devotional acts of your bodies,
No, I want your hearts! I want ?
He ﷺ is telling them, "Worship Allah". i.e. I want your hearts with me
but a devotional act without a heart! Doesn't do anything.
"you have no god (other than Him)", i.e. no other Beloved
"Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day", [Quran 7:59]
Our master Noah, peace be upon him, was the first apostle sent to (a group of) disbelievers.
our master `Adam was (also) an apostle but he was only sent to ? His children
who were all believers. (After all) they were his children. They were (unlikely) to disbelieve.
But our master Noah ﷺ was the first prophet to be sent to (a group of) disbelievers.
He ﷺ is mentioned in the Quran 43 times: "O Noah ... Noah ..."
Can you imagine it? When our Lord ﷻ mentions your name in the Quran!
"O Nūh! O Nūh!" While he ﷺ is annihilated in Allah!
He ﷺ spent 950 years calling the disbelievers (to worship Allah),
and lived another 50 years, after the Flood, calling (and guiding) the believers.
so 950 tough years (each called a sanah سَنَة) and 50 graceful years (each called a `ām عَام)
The word `ām is used for a good year. If you had a graceful and a prosperous year, don't call it a sanah
call it a `ām. And if it was a difficult year, call it a sanah.
Examples: "You will plant for seven years", [Quran 12:47]
Then, after that, will come a year when the people will have plenteous crops and when they will press (wine and oil)", [Quran 12:49].
You find here that our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, telling you what?
"and he remained among them 1,000 sanah (years) minus fifty `ām (years)", [Quran 29:14]
i.e. one thousand years of which fifty years were good ones
so 950 tough years and 50 easy ones
And prophethood is typically bestowed on the prophets at the age of forty,
therefore, our master Noah lived (on this earth) for 1,040 years.
Forty years more than our master Adam peace and blessing be upon him.
And our master Noah did not become frustrated. It was his people who got frustrated with him
(They said), ""O Noah, you have disputed us and been frequent in dispute of us,
so bring us what you threaten us, if you should be of the truthful", [Quran 11:32]
i.e. they said, "Brother we are fed up!" He ﷺ was not tired
because he ﷺ was annihilated. Annihilated in (Allah).
When they told him that,
he ﷺ said a word indicative of his close intimate relationship with Allah ﷻ
What did he say? "And my advice will not benefit you, though I desired to"
He ﷺ affirmed that he has a will (of his own) "though I desired to advise you"
if Allah should intend to keep you astray", [Quran 11:34]
i.e. he ﷺ is telling them, "It is our Lord Who keep you astray"
What kind of (close relationship) is this!
Can you tell anyone, "Our Lord is misguiding you"? Can you?
But our master Noah, because of his close relationship (with Allah), can say what he ﷺ wants.
In reality, it is Allah who misguides with His name 'The Misguider' and guides with His name, 'The Guide'
This is the reality.
So (here) our master Noah presented them with reality (al-Haqīqah)
"If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned", [Quran 11:34]
"And it was revealed to Noah that ...", [Quran 11:36] When our Lord saw him ﷺ a bit sad
And it was revealed to Noah that, 'No one will believe from your people except those who have already believed,
so do not be distressed by what they have been doing", [Quran 11:36]
i.e. our master Noah wanted to keep going
and our Lord told him ﷺ, "No. That's it. I decreed that
no one will believe from your people except those who have already believed.
What would our master Noah ﷺ do now?
Those few who believed with you, "But none had believed with him, except a few", [Quran 11:40]
Few who were deemed weak
"Spend your free-time teaching them,
but spend the bulk of your time building the Ark"
Free yourself to focus on its construction.
We don't know what miracle Prophet Noah was sent with to his people (to prove his prophethood).
The Quran did not mention it.
Every prophet, every apostle is sent with a miracle
for his people to believe (his claims)
The miracle of our master Noah that he brought forward to his people was not mentioned.
That does not mean that he ﷺ did not bring one. No. It was just not mentioned.
His miracle was not the Ark. No.
The miracle is usually brought forth at the very beginning of an apostle's mission.

Phyrra Says Vol. 43 - Life Update, Puppies, LA & Dragon Con - Duration: 3:11.
Hey guys what's up.
This is just a quick little personal update on my life to let you know what's been going
on with me.
Sorry I've been MIA the past couple of weeks.
As you know I got a brand new puppy, Nyx, and puppies take up a lot of time.
Anybody who tells you that there's not a high energy puppy is wrong because I think all
puppies are high energy.
Nyx is very high energy.
so she's taking up a ton of my time.
So basically my time is split between work and Nyx, and then when I have time I do stuff
for my blog and then Youtube.
So most of my time has been spent playing with Nyx because she needs it.
We're still housebreaking her because, you know, she's really young.
She's like 11 weeks.
In addition to that I recently took a quick trip to LA.
I was in LA for 3 days.
The trip got booked on a Monday morning, I flew out out Tuesday morning.
I had to get up at 4:30 am to make my 6:50 am flight.
I had a great time in LA.
I hung out with my friend Emily from HausOfHounds.com most of the time.
I hung out with her on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Then Thursday I got up at 6:30 am no 6:20 am to be at the airport by 7:10 so that I
wouldn't miss my flight home.
But unfortunately, Delta had a lot of problems leaving out of LA.
My flight kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed.
I don't think I left LAX until after 1pm, even though I was supposed to leave at like
10, I think my flight was supposed to board at 9 something.
And be out by 10, so yeah, I was stuck for many many hours in LAX which sucked.
And then I got home really really late.
I am getting ready to go to Dragon Con.
By the time you see this video I might actually be at Dragon Con.
So if you're going to be at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia say hi to me.
Just tag me on Instagram @phyrra or something because I'll be doing all kinds of updates
on Instagram and Instagram Stories while I'm gone.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me.
What's going on with you?
Please be sure to let me know in the comments below.
If you like this video give it a thumbs up and share.
And if you haven't already, go ahead and click that little subscribe button down below so
you don't miss my next video.
Thanks so much for watching!

What is the Case for More Diverse Teachers? | Let's Talk | NPR - Duration: 1:26.
There is mounting evidence about the positive impact
of teachers of color.
Researchers call this the role model effect.
First, a study this year found [that] having just one
black teacher in third, fourth or fifth grade
lowers the probability that low-income black
boys will drop out of high school by 39 percent.
It also raises black students' expectations
of going to college.
The researchers looked at long-term records
of more than 100,000 elementary school
students in North Carolina.
They checked their conclusions by
looking at students in Tennessee.
Again, these positive role model effects were found
seven to eight years after having just one black teacher.
In another study, black teachers were
three times as likely to recognize black students
as being gifted.
In general, African-Americans are
less likely than white students to be put
on a "gifted" track — even when they have
similar test scores.
But when those students have a teacher
who looks like them, that gap disappears.
Finally, last year, another study came out that suggested
that students of all races prefer teachers
of color and have more positive
perceptions of Latino and African-American
teachers specifically.
The public school teaching force remains
more than 80 percent white.
But the evidence is rising that diverse schools
and diverse teachers have benefits for everyone.

Building Businesses around Breakthrough Science - Duration: 5:12.
I truly believe that scientific innovation
is one of the best ways of creating good in the world.
Young entrepreneurs have the imagination
and the vision and the risk capacity to think big.
But just as importantly is identifying entrepreneurs
who can execute on that vision.
Our purpose was really to inspire and train and provide
opportunity for young entrepreneurs who
are interested in building businesses around breakthrough
technologies, breakthrough science, science
that has the potential to really change how the world works.
The Blavatnik Fellowship in Life Science Entrepreneurship
was started in 2013 primarily as a partnership between Harvard
Business School and the Office of Technology Development
at Harvard University.
When we got Len Blavatnik together
with the first group of fellows, he really
challenged them to think big.
BrainSpec is software for brain imaging.
We take the output of an MRI and tell doctors
about patient's brain chemistry.
Instead of just getting pictures of the brain,
we're also going to get measures of chemistry within the brain.
And that allows us to then benefit the patients
by being able to get diagnoses more accurately.
Right now, we have four employees.
And we're working out of downtown Boston.
The Blavatnik Fellowship allows us to really grow this company.
There's a great deal of interest both from investors, as well as
Brigham, MGH, Children's Hospital.
It's most motivating for me to really have the technology,
have the biggest patient impact.
Given where Harvard Business School sits,
which is at the center of the largest and most diverse
collection of experts in the life sciences, broadly writ,
universities, medical schools, teaching
hospitals, the biotechnology industry,
the pharmaceutical industry.
This is not only an opportunity for us.
I think it's a responsibility.
There's more biomedical innovation happening here
than anywhere on the planet.
How can you answer and help a woman track
and solve so many different complex issues.
What we're trying to do is to push the envelope
where women can make decisions about their reproductive health
through information.
My company is NextGen Jane.
The form factor of a tampon gives you
access, a unique singular access to a woman's
reproductive system like nothing else short of a biopsy.
In our lab here in Oakland, it's part wet bench
and part dry lab work.
If we're looking at ovarian cells,
we may be able to pick up signals for detection
of ovarian cancer.
One of our biggest passions is to empower women
to take care of themselves.
And it shouldn't be a matter of where you live
or how much money you make that determines
whether you're able to do that.
The Blavatnik Fellowship allows the opportunity for the fellows
to actually learn through experiential processes.
We give them support by connecting them
to advisers, consultants, and other educational means
specific to creating new companies.
My Blavatnik Fellowship allowed me to help
co-founded a company called Voxel8.
Voxel8 is a novel, 3D printing technology.
It allows you to print in multiple materials,
including electronically active materials.
It allows you to create things on a 3D printer
you never would have been able to otherwise.
And the Blavatnik Fellowship really
allowed us to have resources early on,
to go explore different markets, pull
in the right types of people, and get
this thing off the ground.
Voxel8 is based on a technology out of the engineering
school at Harvard, specifically Professor Jennifer Lewis's
technology.
The fellowship opens these doors and unlocks these relationships
that would be almost impossible to get any other way.
I think we have to recognize Len Blavatnik's contributions here
to young entrepreneurs by giving back to them
and helping them create the next generation of great companies.
If you've always harbored a desire
to take the risk to see if you can start something that really
has the potential to change how the world works,
come spend a year with us.
The Blavatnik Fellowship provides you
with an entire support system of other fellows going
through exactly what you're going through.
The fellowship has been incredibly
supportive and helpful getting BrainSpec
to the point it is now.
Without the Blavatnik Fellowship,
I wouldn't be able to be doing the types of things I'm doing.
If we can bring the business community together
with the scientific community and start
getting more of these technologies out of the lab,
off the shelf, and into companies,
where they can actually become products and services
for people, the possibilities are endless.

True Scary Stories: INTRUDER - Duration: 24:33.
to set the tone I always hated the town I lived in I moved there alone when I
was 18 for college and quickly regretted it it was a decent sized town but full
of not decent people there were shootings in broad daylight robberies
you name it well for the first three years I lived with roommates on a side
of town that wasn't awful but it was sketchy so when I was making decent
enough money I moved out on my own the house was tiny maybe five hundred square
feet if that super old and poorly built it was just me living there so I didn't
mind how small it was but what really sold me was that it was
in the middle of nowhere it was surrounded by a bunch of fields in some
wooded areas with only a few houses nearby considering I hated being in town
I loved the idea of living out there so at the beginning of July I moved in
everything seemed super swell - not being able to get good internet a month
goes by and everything is still great and I decided to get a dog to keep me
company he also loved the place and spent long amounts of time lounging
about the yard and trying to convince the nearest neighbor to walk over and
pet him roughly two months into living there I started to notice things out of
place something to know is that an old roommate of mine was using my spare room
as storage space until he got moved himself so he had a key but wasn't ever
there he just kind of popped in every once in a while to grab something and
usually let me know beforehand but I'd come home to my kitchen chair pulled
away from the table or a bowl in the sink things like that there were such
small things that I wrote them off as my old roommate stopping by
or just stuff I was forgetting but then my dog developed this crazy bad
separation anxiety up until now he didn't even care when I left he just lay
on the couch and chew his toys he never barked never did anything weird however
all of a sudden he began acting really awful every time I tried to leave he'd
cram his body through the door as I was closing it screaming and barking and
wouldn't stop until I came back into the house
he didn't want me to leave him there alone at all I couldn't afford a kennel
for him yet so I decided one day that I'd put a
movie in while I was out thinking maybe the sound of people talking might keep
him calm I only had to finish one task up at work and knew I'd be home early so
I put in a copy of Hamlet I know boring but I chose it because the
copy I have is five hours long I knew it would be playing when I came back three
hours later long before Hamlet should have been over I walked in the door and
not only was the movie not playing but the TV and the Xbox were completely off
I immediately called my old roommate and asked if he had been over and he wasn't
even in town I explained the TV situation to him and he thought maybe it
turned off because it was idle for a while even though I know this happens
there are several reasons I know this isn't the case one
it wasn't idling a 5ever movie was playing - even if it had shut off my
xbox wouldn't have I've left it on for days by accident when I was out of town
or whatever and it was still on when I came home always but it was completely
powered down this time the weird thing is none of my stuff was missing and the
door was locked - when I entered I eventually convinced myself that it was
something weird with the Xbox and shrugged it off that is until my dog
started acting even weirder remember earlier I mentioned he used to play with
the neighbor we'll all of a sudden if she even walked by the house while he
was out he'd start yelping and running to me away from her this was incredibly
weird and made me really cautious of her I put some cheap alarms on my doors and
slept with my pistol handy the second night the alarms were on the doors I was
woken up by the one on the back I flew out of bed with my pistol trying to
convince myself that I was about to shoot some intruder but once I got to
the door it was shut and there was nobody there the alarm had been knocked
on the way across the room the door would have had to open for it to be
chucked like that it couldn't have fallen off and landed there
and something else the door was locked but not the way I had locked it I always
locked the knob and the deadbolt but when I checked only the knob was locked
the police wouldn't do much as I had no witnesses and they didn't have much to
go on needless to say I changed the locks I didn't have any noticeable
problems inside after that but later found out that the closed neighbor that
my dog hated had previously lived in the house I was renting and the locks had
never been changed I have no way to prove my theory but it's pretty obvious
that she had a key and was coming and going as she pleased why though I can't
figure it out nothing was ever missing but the most unsettling part for me
though is that she had tried to come in at night until the alarm scared her off
how many times has she been in my house at night while I was asleep and why
thankfully I no longer live there
this takes place a few months ago as I'm walking home from my friend's house
after a few beers it's a Sunday but it's not that late maybe 11:30 it's kind of a
long walk and it's quieter than usual for a small but vibrant city of a
hundred and twenty thousand people now I'd lived there for years I'd been down
these streets a thousand times but I was almost always biking them unfortunately
I'd been hit recently until I fixed my bike I was stuck walking which was
unusual but I didn't think I'd be any less safe I take a phone call from the
person I had just broken up with I'm too exhausted for this yes it's really over
so on and so forth I'm frustrated and not paying much attention to my
surroundings but there's pretty much no one around about 15 minutes from home a
man trots across the street to talk to me he asks me something but I ignore him
he follows up with oh you on the phone I glare at him
yeah I respond going back to hammering home this breakup one needy person at a
time I pay him no more attention as I get to my apartment I take a shortcut
across the parking lot out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone else taking
the same shortcut this sticks up to me no one would walk that way unless they
were coming up to my apartment that's when I realized that it's the same man
as before he's been following me the whole time I run I live on the third
floor off of the fire escape he's a lot faster than me and he's gaining our
footsteps resonate on the rusty metal stairs through the otherwise quiet night
I get to the door of my building fumbling with my keys at this point I'm
still holding my phone to my ear not listening but still too preoccupied to
hang up I unlocked the door and I get through
but it opens outward and he's right there holding the door before I can
close it he's so close to me that I can smell his overbearing Cologne I have one
more shot to get a locked door between us my unit is the very first one I
managed to get it unlocked lightning fast and I spin around trying to close
the door at least this door opens toward the inside I slam it on his arm grasping
like a cartoon horror villain with the phone still in one hand I'm whacking the
door on his arm over and over putting all of my weight into it
here attracts his arm just for a second and I slam the door shut and lock it he
creepily whispers from the other side of the door let me in you know you wanted
no no I don't I don't even understand how you could think that he tries the
doorknob for a minute or so and that I can hear him I don't know how to put it
pawing at the door like sliding his palms across it but it's okay
I'm safe after a minute or two I hear his footsteps ringing out on the fire
escape taking my welcome mat with him I finally
end that call and crawl into bed I wish I had called the police that
night I wasn't thinking clearly I did report it to the non-emergency line
later in case he's done this to other women I know that most women have at
least one story just like this are much worse but it was my first time feeling
so unsafe I fixed my bike soon after and never walked without pepper spray again
for a few months I was afraid that he would turn up after all he knew where I
lived but fortunately I never saw him again
would-be attacker let's not meet and give me back my welcome mat
I'm an American college student nobody special but I just arrived in Sydney
Australia for an international program with my University staying at summer
accommodations next to a major campus now Sydney is a huge city and none of
the other dozen students on the program had ever been to Australia before
so naturally we buzzed with excitement despite being exhausted from the 14 hour
plane ride at the airport down under the realness set in and we all exchanged
glances we were jet-lagged hungry and tired but
something about being in a new country kept us animated we all met each other
and already started to form little cliques within the program six boys and
six girls perfect ratio we arrived at our accommodations unpacked and bought a
ton of surprisingly expensive alcohol to celebrate we were all ecstatic despite
all of us being awake more than 24 hours at that point one of the other dudes on
the programme let's call him will he'd heard that we had access to the roof
with our swipe cards we grabbed our alcohol and headed up to the top floor
the stairway is a trudge but it was a beautiful night there were huge bats
circling around above the park we came from a very snowy wintry place and
suddenly it was summer with long warm evenings you can imagine how awesome
that was truthfully that first night was awesome and nothing really out of the
ordinary happened we all got drunk played some cards took some photos and
went to bed it was the second time on the roof when we saw it now to
understand how that night transpired I have to give you a description of the
building it's pretty close to downtown with a lot of tall buildings perhaps a
half mile toward the harbour and a large park across the street the dorm building
itself has eight floors I believe and it's rectangular so the roof is rather
long but skinny the rooftop itself is concrete one side very open with chairs
plants and shade covers and the other side punctuated with a raised
rectangular structure for the doorway as you can imagine by the end of the
first week we had broken up into smaller social groups my friend will and I had
become pretty tight and he had invited Sara up onto the roof with us to
celebrate our first full week in Australia he brought some wine cheap
wine since it's so damn expensive well was trying to get with Sara
he's admittedly very handsome and I think he invited me up there just to
break the ice we couldn't find a corkscrew so we had
to force the cork down into the bottle with a knife and ended up drinking
chunks of it for the rest of the night a string of lights around the perimeter
had never worked but last time it wasn't that dark this time it was though will
and Sara started kissing and I needed to get out of there so I walked to the
other side of the roof to admire the view I'm on the far side in the large
open area and my two friends are out of sight beyond the stairwell I get out my
phone I'm texting not really paying attention and to hear a really loud
slurping noise like wet and kind of crunchy it was immediately distressing
to me because I knew we were alone I turn around and I see a very pale very
limber figure huddled in the corner of the roof near a large vent pipe the
intruder was in a crouching position facing away half obscured by a sort of
pipe and rail system but he stood out so clearly and so unnaturally with really
pointy shoulder blades and hunched so far over I couldn't look away I nearly
vomited and just typing this I have goosebumps I'm in full panic mode at
this point because we'd been up here for at least 15 minutes and the three of us
had been totally alone I looked away and I froze and I got my phone out to call
will but instantly remembered neither of us have SIM cards yet
I went to Facebook Messenger chat and did a voice call
he answered right away something like what the fuck dude listen there's
something on the roof somebody behind the stairwell I whispered but I was loud
enough to be firm I looked back over my shoulder and the thing was still there
kind of huddled and occupied with something in its grip they didn't appear
around the stairwell right away but about five seconds later I heard will
what the fuck holy shit the visitor immediately stopped and turned to face
me even in the darkness the size of its saucer eyes are still burned into my
mind they were huge on a white face it was clutching something black and small
I was so paralyzed it was on my side of the roof with only a few tables and
benches between us at this point a fucking book did as fast as I could
because there was a bit of a wall I had to go around before I got to the door to
the stairs I shut my eyes when I was close to the creature I almost crashed
into Will and Sarah as they booked it from the other side we burst through the
metal door and into the concrete stairwell and slammed it shut it boomed
so loud I'm pretty sure I got hearing loss but adrenaline was pumping and we
were basically jumping down each flight so fast I think it was still echoing
when we got to the bottom floor the three of us were screaming and crying so
loud that everyone else in the hall opened their doors to see what was going
on but we just ran to my room we shut the curtain and didn't open for anything
until the Sun came up the next morning the whole thing lasted less than 30
seconds but we couldn't sleep we just kept talking and going over everything
all night and drinking we had all seen it something very real and foreign the
next day a large group of us went up onto the roof and indeed there were a
few spots of blood where the visitor had been crouching will swears it was
crunching on one of the huge bats that circle in the afternoon that was about a
week ago and I'm still staying on the bottom floor suffice to say I will never
go up there again you
so I'm currently going through a nasty divorce I left my wife about four months
ago and moved into a house by myself close to work we have a four and a half
year old daughter which I haven't been able to see for the last four months
because my wife filed an injunction against me nothing happened
it was just divorce tactics luckily she recently came to her senses and dropped
the injunction and now I have a 50/50 timeshare with my daughter that starts
next weekend well last weekend my mom came to town to help me set up the house
because you know I'm a guy and guys have no sense of decor right at least that's
how my mom thinks and when it comes to me she's right we bought a twin bed for
my daughter's room and frozen themed furniture and decor because it's her
favorite movie and then we got a bunch of knickknacks to decorate the whole
house candles pictures fake plants rugs etc we did everything we could to make
it more homey before we bought all these rugs and set
up my daughter's room I kept my cat's litter box in there so after we set it
up I moved the litter box to another empty
bedroom well my cat didn't like the fact that her box was moved apparently she
had decided that room was going to be hers and absolutely refused to use the
litter box instead she would shit and piss on all the new carpets any time my
mom and I were out of the house so the entire weekend
the two of us had to clean the rugs finally I decided to put the litter box
back until I could figure out a solution and my daughter's room was right next to
mine fast forward to Monday late afternoon
my mom's flight is at 6 p.m. so we leave the house go out for one last meal and I
drop her off at the airport I get home around 6:30 to my newly furnished and
decorated house it definitely made me feel more at home I had no plans that
night so I spent most of the night on the couch binge watching movies and
drinking scotch around 11:30 I was pretty hammered and
stumbled to my bedroom closed the door locked it because monsters and vampires
and collapsed on my bed I passed out instantly some time later I wake up to
the worst smell I think has ever hit my nose it was so bad it actually pulled me
out of my drunken sleep it smelled like a combination of shit sweaty ball sack
Oh Gert rash and blech all mixed together my first thought was the
goddamn cat took a shit on the rug again I ignored it and tried to go back to
sleep but couldn't the smell was that bad finally I got up unlocked the
bedroom door and peeked out into the living room to see if she left a
surprise on the rug clean I looked in my daughter's room and there was a nice
turd in the litter box so the smell couldn't have been my cat I shrugged it
off closed and locked my door and collapsed on my bed again I laid there
staring into the darkness for about 30 minutes trying to fathom what I was
smelling maybe it's a combination of my cat's shit and all the cleaning products
we used over the weekend maybe a pipe burst somewhere did I forget to take the
trash out no matter what conclusion I came up with none of it made sense a
little after 5:00 a.m. I get up and walked to the bathroom and sit down to
do my business I browse reddit for a few minutes on my phone until I'm done I
flushed the toilet and then go back to bed you know that draining sound the
toilet makes after you flush I'm laying there listening to the toilet to its
drain cycle until it finally stopped and it was completely silent that's when I
heard it a sniff and the sound of someone clearing their throat from my
fucking closet I immediately jumped into survival mode
I got my phone unlocked to the bedroom door grabbed my car keys and bolted I
jumped into my car and backed out of the driveway and into my neighbor's driveway
across the street I shined my high beams at my house while I called the police
they were there within minutes the cops approached my car and I tell them there
was someone in my closet I sleep in the nude so the cops thought
I was just some crazy drunk at first but after two minutes of arguing they went
in to investigate they were in there for what seemed like hours and sure enough
they come out with a very skinny obviously homeless black man and
handcuffs they put the guy in the back of one of their cruisers and approached
my car to ask me some more questions apparently this guy snuck in through the
back sliding glass door while I was at the airport he admitted to looking for
pills or something to pawn for pills when he heard me come home he said he
freaked out and hid the smell I was smelling was his terrible Bo coming from
my closet three feet away from me this man was in my house the entire night
what if I didn't smell him what if I had my daughter over that night the thought
of it gives me shivers hey guys and ladies thanks for watching if you want
me to tell your story or read a creepypasta email me at the address in
the description be good to animals even people cya

Why I left the internet | Personal Rant - Duration: 19:00.
(music)
What's going on guys, my name is HERO, and today I'm going to try to explain why I took a break from the
internet for the past two weeks. Before I begin I just want to say please watch until the end and please keep
an open mind because the first and only time I ever really made a serious and emotional video was
bombarded with hate. In fact, ever since that video I've been losing more subscribers than I'm gaining.
I don't really care about my sub count that much, but to see it frozen for half a year because I made one simple
mistake, which I don't even view as a mistake because it was just me opening up for once. And to see all that-
I mean of course I could have worded the video better, but to see my subscriber count freeze for half a year-
-and slowly go down for half a year, sorry, It just sucks. I tried to go back to making content like it never happened,
but it did happen, and it negatively affected the channel. I can expect this video to do the same and kill my
channel more than it already has been killed, but I'm just hoping that with a new format and everything, it'll help
the channel more than hinder it, whilst letting me open up a little, and explain some stuff. So if this isn't really
your type of video than that's fine, you don't have to watch this. But for those of you who decided to stay,
Here we go:
The truth is that this time of year is very personal to me, and brings back a lot of bad memories from the past
couple years. Especially August 19th, that day is just agony to me. I know some of friends are probably
assuming that I left the internet because of them or because of a specific argument or something, but
it's just not the reason. Those things may have helped me make this decision, but that's just because- and it
pains me to admit this- because I'm vulnerable. I can be emotionally hurt easily. Especially at times like this.
~~~I'm sorry guys but I'm too busy to finish captioning this right now! I'll finish captioning it later today, I have to focus on school right now.~~~

T49 ATGM German Live Commentary - World of Tanks Blitz Deutsch - Duration: 3:27.
Welcome to a new video.
Today i want to play with the T49 ATGM.
So let's go into the battle.
That is a typical Tier 7 battle.
*speaking about which tanks we and they have*
The MM is okay but just with all the T49 ATGMs.
We're driving to the left.
I'm gonna drive up there to spot some enemies.
There is one. HE loaded and fire.
Wow that was close.
I put 786 dmg into him.
And he is dead. Poor guy got killes in 30 seconds.

360 Metadata Tutorial - Duration: 3:22.
so you took a bunch of 360 photos and you're really proud of them, and you want
to show them off and tell your family all about them. you want your grandma to
be able to look at them and tell you how great of a job you're doing, how proud
she is and how is college by the way? how is that? oh did you graduate
already? Did I miss that? I must have forgotten.
So you upload them to
Facebook and Facebook looks at that and stretches the whole thing out to just
one big equirectangular blob. what are you gonna do?
never fear - freeware is here! before we go too far in though I need to ask a
question. a very important question. do you know what metadata is? it's data
that goes alongside your actual data - the image - and tells other programs what
it is, what it does, what it's about, and that carries all sorts of stuff like
make, model... think of it like George Clooney's underpaid personal assistant.
all that metadata for images at least is contained in the very standard exif -E.X.I.F -
format which stands for.....
so the E is....
it's a big list of tags so all we have to do is go
in and add a bunch of new tags. simple, right? so our first stop is exif Fixer! this
is a free option that is built specifically for 360 users. it doesn't
have a lot of features, but what is is just drag-and-drop. you just throw a picture
in, tag, boom. export done. tagging accomplished. but maybe you want
a web option, right? you don't trust suspicious programs you don't want to
install anything on your computer. that's fine, because we have the exifer.net
this one's actually is not built for 360 users. they don't have any specific
little place where you can check a box like "this is a 360 picture." because
facebook is smart, you see, and they don't just look for the 360 tag. they also look
to see what camera took the picture. and if that camera is something like a
Rico theta, or a nikon keymission, or one of the insta360s, then Facebook knows
that gee, this is probably a 360 photo. so all we have to do is masquerade your
photo as one of them. it's kind of like your assistant is forging Clooney's
driver's license for you. and I should also mention exif tool which is a very
powerful command-line based editor which has a ton of features and it's just
really powerful and trusted and reliable and MAN I can't figure the thing out. I
don't know, maybe you'll have better luck with it. so upload freely my friends! let
your metadata protect you!
Videos! videos! get your videos over here! learn about all the gear you didn't
know you wanted until you now saw it on our video and now you want it a lot that
I hope that made sense to someone

Alan Walker - Tired (Lyrics / Lyric Video) Wild Cards Remix, ft. Gavin James - Duration: 3:02.
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you, just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you, just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
My love, there's no need to hide
And it feels like you've lost who you are
If your ghost pulls you apart
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Oh love, there's no need to hide
And I feel so helpless inside
I see those tears in your eyes
From the sidelines
I'm waiting on the sidelines
You can't forget about this mess
Can't hide the secrets
And if they could, they'd say
But these walls don't talk
But I see through your white lies
When you whisper, I'm alright
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you, just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you, just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
My love, there's no need to hide
And it feels like you've lost who you are
If your ghost pulls you apart
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Oh love, there's no need to hide
And I feel so helpless inside
I see those tears in your eyes
From the sidelines
Been waiting on the sidelines
Just forget about this mess
Just roll up a cigarette
I don't know what came by me
They've been there for weeks
Packed your bags at midnight
Cold hands, red eyes

Phyrra Says Vol. 43 - Life Update, Puppies, LA & Dragon Con - Duration: 3:11.
Hey guys what's up.
This is just a quick little personal update on my life to let you know what's been going
on with me.
Sorry I've been MIA the past couple of weeks.
As you know I got a brand new puppy, Nyx, and puppies take up a lot of time.
Anybody who tells you that there's not a high energy puppy is wrong because I think all
puppies are high energy.
Nyx is very high energy.
so she's taking up a ton of my time.
So basically my time is split between work and Nyx, and then when I have time I do stuff
for my blog and then Youtube.
So most of my time has been spent playing with Nyx because she needs it.
We're still housebreaking her because, you know, she's really young.
She's like 11 weeks.
In addition to that I recently took a quick trip to LA.
I was in LA for 3 days.
The trip got booked on a Monday morning, I flew out out Tuesday morning.
I had to get up at 4:30 am to make my 6:50 am flight.
I had a great time in LA.
I hung out with my friend Emily from HausOfHounds.com most of the time.
I hung out with her on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Then Thursday I got up at 6:30 am no 6:20 am to be at the airport by 7:10 so that I
wouldn't miss my flight home.
But unfortunately, Delta had a lot of problems leaving out of LA.
My flight kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed.
I don't think I left LAX until after 1pm, even though I was supposed to leave at like
10, I think my flight was supposed to board at 9 something.
And be out by 10, so yeah, I was stuck for many many hours in LAX which sucked.
And then I got home really really late.
I am getting ready to go to Dragon Con.
By the time you see this video I might actually be at Dragon Con.
So if you're going to be at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia say hi to me.
Just tag me on Instagram @phyrra or something because I'll be doing all kinds of updates
on Instagram and Instagram Stories while I'm gone.
Anyway, that's what's going on with me.
What's going on with you?
Please be sure to let me know in the comments below.
If you like this video give it a thumbs up and share.
And if you haven't already, go ahead and click that little subscribe button down below so
you don't miss my next video.
Thanks so much for watching!

Top 10 Books That Will Make You Smarter - Duration: 5:20.
Top 10 Books That Will Make You Smarter
While reading is always stimulating, sometimes we want to go for a pure intellectual power-up.
Here are some selections we've found that are guaranteed to expand your mind and worldview.
10 - The Courage to Write Ralph Keyes
While Ralph Keyes' conversational guide is an invaluable tool for those of us who
aspire to a profession in writing, it is equally eye-opening for those who simply enjoy reading
the fruits of their labor.
Keyes' insight comes from over three decades of teaching writing, and is engaging for writers
of all levels.
Comments from successful authors are sprinkled throughout, illustrating how they overcame
roadblocks in their creative processes.
Originally published in 1995, The Courage To Write has become a standard volume for
aspiring writers and is a fascinating read for anyone.
09 - A Short History of Nearly Everything Bill Bryson
Author Bill Bryson made his name with colorful first-person accounts of stays in some pretty
challenging environments, like the Appalachian Trail and the Australian Outback.
With A Short History of Everything, Bryson challenges himself- and the reader- to comprehend
the works of some of science's greatest minds, in an effort to understand… well,
everything.
From the Big Bang to the advent of civilization to our modern day, Bryson's work is entertaining,
informative and meditative in equal measure- a trek through the history of the world through
the eyes a someone very much like us.
08 - At Home: A Short History of Private Life Bill Bryson
This 2011 work has, on the surface, a narrower focus but becomes just as involved and in-depth
as the previous entry.
Bryson is the only repeat author on our list for good reason; his work will engage you,
and show you new frames of reference for the commonplace.
This book is hands-down the single best book I have read in years.
If you only buy one book on this list, this is the one.
Since I first read it, I have bought extra copies every year to give away as gifts.
07 - Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Jared M. Diamond
The book won the 1998 Pulitzer for General Nonfiction, among other awards, and has received
excellent academic reviews as well.
It's a worldview-challenging work that deserves a read.
06 - Cosmos Carl Sagan
15 billion years of cosmic evolution are covered in a light, inclusive tone that makes Cosmos
as easy to read as it is intellectually stimulating.
It became the best selling nonfiction science book of all time upon publication, and is
responsible for the higher visibility of science-based publication and programming that continues
to this day.
05 - Predictably Irrational Dan Ariely
The basic concept- that we make completely irrational choices a great deal of the time,
yet do so in ways that are easy to predict- is elaborated on in ways that will make you
question the very motives behind the choices you make, from the trivial to the life-altering.
A provocative and stimulating read.
04 - The Holographic Universe Michael Talbot
An impressive amount of science supports Talbot's theory, which touches on everything from deja
vu and "meaningful coincidences" to the holographic nature of dreams.
It's a cohesive theory, convincingly and thoroughly explained, that will give you a
different view of the world around you- perhaps a radically different one.
03 - Contrary Notions Michael Parenti
Political analyst Michael Parenti has a long history of calling into question the established
histories and conventions that drive our society.
This collection of short works is perhaps the purest distillation of his revolutionary
worldview, and the most varied of all his works.
02 - A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn
Zinn's remarkably cohesive, conversational and controversial work is as vital as when
it was published, and offers a historical perspective on America that many of us have
never considered.
01 - Tao of Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee
The most reflective and abstract entry on this list, Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a fascinating
and stimulating read for literally anyone, the thoughts and meditations of one of the
great humanist minds of our time.

What Wore ~ Funk It Up ~ Ep. 17 - Duration: 4:31.
[Audio Length: 00:04:30] RECORDING COMMENCES:
Rajka Hayden: Welcome to the Dress Up Mom.
Hello, friends.
Another week where we get to pick out and wear some outfits.
Yay!
Let's get to it.
I'm taking this staple Kit and Ace dress that is a pretty basic dress, and I really love
it.
I love Kit and Ace.
It feels so great.
It's a pretty basic dress, and I'm funking it up a little bit.
The biggest thing I'm doing to it is, I put this vintage vest over it.
This is a vintage Persian vest.
It is so beautiful.
It has this sparkle to it, and it's all embroidered with this felt, but look at the back.
This elephant in the back.
I just really love it.
I've got that paired with, these are beads and a little tassel necklace that I got when
I went to see Amma at her global marketplace, and then again, one of my favorite things
as well, these Briar clogs that I think tie it all in together.
Today, I'm wearing that same Kit and Ace dress, just styled a little differently.
It's a nice basic dress, shift for the summer.
I really like the back and how it flows, the design of that.
I'm going to work, so I'm doing it a little differently.
I have this choker that I just made out of some vintage fabric that I love the colors.
I think they're nice and bold, and it picks up on the purple in my camper platform shoes
that I love and are super comfy.
Then, I'll probably take my Levi's jacket and have that for the office, because it gets
a little bit chilly in there, even in the summer.
So, Kit and Ace dress styled a different way.
Going to work today, and I'm wearing some of my old favorites.
This top to start with is a vintage silk little piece, and I love this cutout here.
I think it's very flattering.
The way it fits, the length of it.
I didn't have to do anything to it.
It's this nice silk, and I've had it for a long time.
It goes with everything.
This is a Trina Turk skirt that I bought resale at Flashbacks many years ago.
The shoes, this little leopard kitten heel, is from eBay.
It's a designer brand, I think Ted Ziegar or something.
It rubbed out of the insoles.
I've worn them so much I can't even remember who it's from.
Then, this little sweater, because it gets a little chilly in there sometimes, is a little
cashmere, just basic cardigan that I got from Uniqlo maybe 10 years ago.
It just keeps on taking and looking great.
That's what I'm going to be wearing in the office today.
I'm wearing this Saint John knit sweater-y shell that I got resale a long time ago.
I like the color of it, and I have it paired with these culottes.
These culottes are, they were Tahari pants that I bought at Flashbacks resale, but I
took them in and I had them turned into culottes.
We moved the bottom part up and made them into culottes.
Then, I'm having a little loafer here, a Bass loafer that I got at an outlet mall to kind
of tie it all in and make it a look a little bit different as well as these earrings from
454 Tattoo.
We are on our way to go see some live music out on a patio at one of our favorite hotels,
La Valencia, and I am wearing this '70s vintage palazzo pant one-piece little jumpsuit,
which to me just screams having fun.
We're going to have a great time tonight.
I have my 454 Tattoo earrings with it.
This beautiful pashmina in case it gets a little bit cold later.
This was gifted to me by my son's really good friend and our friend who just came back
from Asia.
I think it goes with the paisley here in my grandmother's purse.
This is the Amma prayer cloth that got put into my grandmother's purse.
I am off to have a great time.
That's it for this week.
I hope that you enjoyed the outfits.
Would love to have in the comments below your favorite one, your favorite ones.
Or, if one didn't work or just the kinds of vintage pieces that you look to incorporate
into your wardrobe.
Thank you so much for watching.
I appreciate it so much.
Until next time, have fun and dress it up a little.

Getting Started Repurposing Content - Duration: 6:18.
Yes, you can publish content consistently AND be addicted to Netflix. I'm proof! Hi
I'm Brittany Berger from BrittanyBerger.com and I am here with another quick
content marketing tip to help you create smarter content, strengthen your audience,
and grow your online biz like crazy. If you're new to this party, make sure to hit
the subscribe button below so that you do not miss any of my awesome content
marketing, blogging, and business tips. If you've tuned in to any of my other
videos, you know that I love repurposing content to get the most out
of every blog post or piece published and just to make it work harder for you.
I have mentioned a few new things that you can turn old blog posts and content
into, we've talked about ways to break up and improve the content, and all that jazz.
And as a reward for putting up with me, I even have a free worksheet to help you
get started repurposing content, so stay tuned until the end and I'll tell you
more about it. But in my other repurposing content videos, I have not
talked about one thing. A very important thing. An "oh my god you got to get this
right or no ice cream for you" thing. And that is choosing what content you're gonna
repurpose in the first place. That old chestnut! So today we are talking about
that very very first step picking out what content you're gonna repurpose and
figuring out what you're gonna do with it. First, let's talk about choosing which
content to repurpose. Now I cannot understate how important this is, but
just know Beyonce wants you to get it right. If you choose to repurpose content
that's not great for repurposing content, you're just gonna end up with a lot of
sucky new stuff. Don't put that kind of negativity out into the universe, and do
not hold me accountable for it if you do. Not hear for it! Instead, focus on the
best candidates for repurposing, and that will be two kinds of content: your
greatest hits and your hidden gems. Greatest tips content is pretty
self-explanatory. It's your best and most popular content, the epic stuff, the stuff
with all of the opt-ins and shares and pins and comments...stuff that makes your
audience dance in their pants. To find your greatest tips content, you're gonna
want to check out your analytics for everything: website, social media, email
marketing, sales dashboard, if you have one. And greatest hits content will be
at the top of the top content list for a lot of the
different categories. Greatest hits content doesn't just drive opt-ins or
just drive traffic, it's helping you at multiple stages of the buyer's journey.
It's really important to remember that greatest hits content actually gets
results. And the second category of content that makes for really great
stuff to repurpose is your hidden gems. These are pieces that aren't really
doing anything for you right now, but you know they have potential. Really old
posts are a great example of this. Not the "oh my god I can't believe I put this
stuff on the Internet" old posts, but the stuff that is still
great information, but it's just kind of outdated, or not following current best
practices, or something like that. To find your hidden gems,
go back into the list of top content for your blog your social media your email
and everything like that and scroll down a little bit. Go to the middle of the
list. Your hidden gem content may be really strong in one area or one metric
that's important to you, but not others. Maybe it gets traffic, but doesn't convert.
Maybe almost everyone who reads the post signs up for your email list, but not a
lot of people read the posts. One way or another, it's okay and you want to make
it great. If you're just getting started repurposing content, try picking out one
greatest hits and one hidden gem to repurpose. And once you decide what to
repurpose, you need to decide what to do with it. And this depends on what kind of
content to repurpose, so that's why it's really important to choose carefully. If
you're working with the greatest hits, you might want to consider something
like reformatting it, like turning text into a video, or a video into text. You
could also republish it, which is taking some or all of the original content and
publishing it again in one or more places. When you're working with hidden
gems, you want to take a different approach so that you can improve and
reoptimize it and really make it awesome. You want to consider options like
rewriting it, adding or removing different sections, or putting in a
little remix, which is rewriting it but then shifting the topic or the
information a little bit. For example maybe you're starting off with 15 ifttt
recipes, and you remix and shift it a little bit over to 15
ifttt recipes for solo business owners. I wonder who did that? After you've decided
what the new finished product is going to be, you
need to break down what changes or whatever you're going to make. Once again
this depends on what you're repurposing. For example, if you were turning a blog
post into an email series, you would want to plan out the subject lines, how
you're going to break it up, any conclusions or transitions or extra
information that you need to add, and stuff like that. And really really
customize this to the original piece of content. What are its strengths and
weaknesses? You want to make sure that no matter what, you are playing up the
strengths and either improving or just hiding those weaknesses. Now is your
chance to make great content even greater and good content great. Bad
content, good, I guess...but do we want to admit we have bad content? Between having
multiple old posts to repurpose, multiple ways to repurpose them, and multiple
channels to repurpose them for, you have hundreds and hundreds of content ideas
at your disposal that you've already started creating. Create more content in
less time, and that's more episodes of Parks and Rec that you can binge watch
in bed. Not that I speak from experience or anything. And if you want to use that
time to be less lazy than me, go right ahead! You now know how to
select the best candidates for repurposing content and you can figure
out how to change and repurpose them. You, my friend, are ready to get started. But
if you want a super simple free worksheet that guides you through the
content repurposing process every time, I gotcha.
Just click the link in the description or up there and you can download my free
content repurposing planning sheet. That's all for today! Aren't you jittery
to get started? I know. I have been there. But before you go, make sure to leave a
comment below and tell me one thing that you're going to repurpose and what you
plan to do with it! Until next time!
