Welcome to a new episode of "Hollywood in de achtertuin"
Today we are talking about something that we only started doing recently.
We are going to talk, about Animation.
Animation, yes, we started with that 1,5 year ago, essentially for the fun and experimenting,
we started with..
Yes, essentially it all started with our love for animated movies.
From old school cartoons, modern day CGI, from Wall-E, to A Bugs Life..
Pocahontas, The Lion KIng..
There were two animated movies that inspired us to do something with animation.
True, Wout was working on that, using wires and tape to animate te doll and after that
he animated the eyes and mouth.
And it looked very realistic because it is a reall life doll.
And we expanded on that idea.
Something we noticed is that animation is a subject in itself.
You are working frame by frame to animate, which takes long.
But it is very unique.
All fun and games, but Dave can't speak, so we wanted to step up our game, and then we
started working on Ted.
We wanted to step up our animation game, we ordered Ted from America and it took 2 months
until he got delivered.
Dude! what are you waiting for?
Teddy!
And eventually we wanted to bring our animation to the next level.
And..
We took a look how we could do that.
So we got an animation chart with different mouths.
So every sound has a different mouth.
It's very difficult and specific.
It requires a lot of trail and error.
You need a good voice in the first place, so we found somebody who reenacted Ted's voice
perfectly.
In Hollywood they spent tons of money in animated a doll, we do it with a reall life doll with
a hand in it's back, with a green morphsuit.
And i'm not saying that it is easy, but it does work.
Yes!
maybe a good idea to show the morphsuit.
Yes, good idea, Let's go.
So yeah, These are the morph suits, green and blue. and we did it all with these suits,
right?
Yes, standing behind Ted, animate and after that removing the suit in editing software.
We chose to do it this way because we saw that with Dave, with all the wires and tape
it was difficult and did not look very realistic, it did not look human.
ANd with that, we wanted just that
And then we went in to out editing software, where we added the mouth, the eyebrows, the
eyes, the voice, so this is how we did it.
And let this be a lesson that with a creative brain you can get very far.
Yes, very far.
Thanks for watching this episode of "Hollywood in de achtertion" And see ypu next time!
See you later alligator!

Obviously because she's got the carrot top.
She's got the red hair, but I mean also because she's, you know,
she's tough on the outside but surprisingly
sweet on the inside.
Not surprisingly, obviously sweet on the inside.
- Briar: Like, no matter where we are -- we could be in Canada, in the smallest place and she
will go explore for hours before the show.
- Jordan: I like to adventure a lot so I felt like every city that I went to was something new.
So I was really adamant with going out and doing that.
- Briar: She always says "When's the next time you're gonna be in Spain?"
Or, when's the next time you're gonna be in Medicine Hat? (laughs)
- On this tour specifically, we have never been to Italy or Portugal before,
and obviously Australia and New Zealand.
I didn't really have any expectations because I really wasn't sure what it might be like.
But it was, it was very fun.
Very, very fun.
- Jordan: This is gonna be so fun!
So basically, what we're doing today is surprising a bunch of kids at a dance studio here in Adelaide.
Um, so I am dressing up as a completely different person and going to teach a class.
I have no idea what's gonna happen.
I have no idea if they're going to recognize me.
I've got the disguise coming.
I know, it looks... looks a little interesting.

- Jordan: Claire is... she's a piece of work.
She is blonde... and uh, she has glasses,
she likes to wear the dark lips.
As soon as I walked into the room, I looked at their faces
and there was this one girl that was kinda like...
And I saw her whisper to her friend.
And I saw her say "that kinda looks like Giselle."
And I was like "oh no... Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm."
- How are you guys doing?
- Class: Good! - Jordan: Yeah?
Okay, uh, can we get started?
- Teacher: Yeah. - Jordan: Yeah? Okay, why don't you guys, uh, spread out?
- Jordan: Okay, I don't think you guys understand how hard it was though, because...
I'm somebody that can't not smile.
I really tried, but there was definitely sometimes.
And I was switching accents all over the place, it was awful! It was awful.
I would've been like "who is this person?"
- Um, my name's Claire.
I'm based out in L.A. I'm just doing a... a teaching reel.
Um, have any of you guys seen any of my stuff?
No? Okay, so, uh, after class I'll tell you what my, uh,
what my handle is and you guys can go check it out for sure. Okay?

- Um, why don't you give me ten burpees?
Yeah. All ready?

- Jordan: I was shaking, I was so sweaty.
My hands were Niagara Falls.
It was very nerve-wracking.
- Um, we're gonna start facing the front.
We're gonna start here, you're gonna go ball change right left.
Right left.
We're gonna step back onto our left foot and your right hand is gonna go up.

I did Victoria, Isaac and I's trio.
It's a hard piece, it's not easy.
- Here we go! Ready? 6, 7, 8.
Step, ball change.
Reach.
Run run run, down up.
- Jordan: They started to figure out halfway through, I think.
So, I started panicking and looking at everyone "What do I do? What do I do?"
And then there was a point where they asked "can we have some water?"
And I said "Sure".
And they were all sort of talking to one another, and I was like "That's enough water!
Enough water! That's it! Come on!"
- Jordan: Let's go fast, guys!
Really fast, really fast, really fast!
Beautiful, let's do it from the top with the music please.

I feel awful.
- It's all good. It's all good. It's okay, just take a second.

They were like, "Oh, she's from The Next Step.
This girl, she's from The Next Step too.
Come on guys, we know what's going on."
But then there was some girls in the dance room that were just like, genuinely shocked
that we were at their dance studio.
- I see that they're trying to figure it out, but they're so in awe that Victoria Baldessara
is in the room, they're like "What is happening?!

Making Blueberry Liquor Cold Processed Soap & Visiting "Le Barbocheux" - Duration: 9:53.
Today I am out of the soap shop to
present you some of my local suppliers!
Here I am at the "Barbocheux" which is a
handcrafted factory for wines, liquors
and other digestives. All of their
products are made with locally harvested
berries and local plants such as
cranberries, strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries, and more! Let me show you a
couple of their products and especially
the two that I will be using in my soaps!
Of course that is always the purpose!
Here we have Le "Châlin" which is a slightly
fermented blueberries and berries
liquor, followed by the "Ariel" a
raspberry liquor. I was very lucky as
Leonce Arsenault, the owner agreed to
take me downstairs to his workstation
where he makes everything from home
just like me!
I was able to see the rhubarb and
strawberries and the raspberries and all
the other berries in the big tanks that
are fermenting in order to be turned
into alcohol! He has to stir them
every day for many weeks and they will be
stirred like that and then they will
turn into alcohol and will be later
bottled! I will give you a link to his
website but if you want to taste and
enjoy these beauties you will have to
visit the Magdalen Islands! This one here
is called the Ariel it is named after a
boat that I believe shipwrecked around
our Islands. It is made with raspberries
and it is my personal favorite to drink
of course! But once in a while I
sacrifice a bottle to make my soap with it!
I am back in a soap studio and I'm
getting ready to make a batch of the
blueberry liquor soap. I will be using
the bottle of Châlin, I will boil it
down to remove any alcohol and just keep
the sugar and the warm and rich color
that it brings to the soap. As for the
raspberry Ariel liquor I already have a
video made about this one so I will
leave the link at the end of this video
if you would like to
take a look at it!
Hey I will be saving some for tonight!
The required amount for this recipe is
200 grams but I'm going to add a little
bit more just because I will have some
water loss during the boiling process.
I am going to be using a blueberry
fragrance oil from Crafters Choice it's
called fresh picked blueberries: it
smells so yummy and I love to use it in
cold process soap because it doesn't
discolor the soap and it doesn't
accelerate the trace either!
My oils and butters are ready, I will add
the coconut milk and then proceed with
the lye water.
I just poured the the white soap into the
mold and then realized my camera wasn't
on a record mode! So anyway this is just
white soap that has been poured as the
first layer and then I'm going to add
the interesting part which is the blue
in-the-pot swirl. Okay so basically I
have my teal right here and I made quite
a mess on the side... anyways, and here I
have my darker blue that has the alcohol
liquor in it and what I do is I will be
adding both of them into the bigger pot.
One of my favorite swirling tools is
simply the back of a spoon and this soap
has a nice swirl to it giving it a very
nice wave. So I'm just diving in!
And then I like to come back with a
spoon and just finish texturing the tops
of the soap! I did write some lines so I
know just about where I'm going to be
cutting these soaps, so I try to make my
texture along where the soap will be cut.
I can feel that this is getting very
hot and gelling but it's not even
because of the alcohol content of the
dark blue soap so this is why working
with alcohols we need to be prepared for
things to move pretty quickly!
I really like the new look of these
soaps, they are a bit different than my
previous design. I'm going to show it to
you right here so you can compare but
I'm really happy about it and I knew it
was going to be different because I used
a different marbling technique for the
color. I wanted it to look more like a wave
and something more reminiscent of the
seaside which I think is what I got and
I also texture the tops so they would
look like waves. I'm really happy
about the overall look, the new look, of
this soap. That is also why I called it
Blueberry Liquor Splash because there's
something maritime about this design!
Thank you so much for watching this
video! If you liked it please give it a
thumbs up and make sure you are
subscribed to my youtube channel and to
turn on the Bell icon to receive
notifications. If you would like to
purchase this soap the link will be
right below the video once it's ready.
Thanks again and I will see you very soon.

5 Shortcomings of Legion - the patch 7.2 edition! - Duration: 11:16.
Hey it's Soul, and this is the Word of Warcraft.
Back in October, about a month into Legion, I gave a list of five things about the expansion
that I found to be an inexcusable disappointment for the majority of players.
We're going to take a quick look at where we're at now with those, and I'll give
another five disappointments to freshen things up.
The first point was that Xavius was undertuned, and this caused a ripple of disappointment
among the raiding community that Blizzard is off the mark when it came to tuning.
This was for various reasons, among them the tuning of the encounter itself, artifact ranks
and legendary armor and so on.
Since then Blizzard swung the pendulum straight to the other side and brought players an overtuned
raid with the Trial of Valor, and Helya, who was menacing to underprepared raid teams.
This was then followed up with the Nighthold and Gul'dan, which overall was accepted
as a strong but reasonably entertaining raid to cap the tier.
So technically the easy mythic Xavius kill is a stain on Blizzard's record, but time
marches on with more wins and disappointments to look forward to.
Nomi still sucks.
Nomi's been updated a bit with the chance of learning upgraded recipes having gone up.
There's the new food that gives an additional, higher chance of also learning a recipe upgrade.
In the 7.2.5 PTR, there's a sort of rush order, similar to the Warlods of Draenor garrision
rush order, that speeds up work orders assigned to Nomi, to destroy your materials even faster.
Nomi still sucks.
I get it, Blizzard, you've got to stay the course with design paradigms but for all that
is good, don't do cooking like this ever again.
In the face of all these game systems like artifact power that're meant to give players
the sense that their time is always a positive investment, Nomi is not.
I said bacon sucked because it didn't provide a useful benefit at the start of Legion.
Cut to now, bacon does not suck anymore, now that Lavish Suramar Feasts give 500 to our
main stat, unlike the 200 from before.
Bacon has always been cool, but WoW bacon took some time to get its act together.
And Nomi sucks.
Reputations didn't mean anything after exalted in Legion 7.0 up till Legion 7.2.
Today players who earn enough extra rep with exalted factions receive a goodie bag of false
hope that's worth slightly more than nothing.
Even better, after a recent Q&A, the bag might have even better goodies in the near future.
So technically, reputations past exalted don't have a value of zero any longer.
There's a possible mount in one of those many bags and players can complain about RNG
all day, no problem with that.
But as for reputations past exalted, they at least have some value, and to be frank,
I'm glad this was salvaged with even this obvious design band-aid.
On a side note, my favorite reps are still the Mists of Pandaria reputations that offered
a neat questline as a capstone to the daily grind.
My hopes are that future expansions will adopt a system beyond exalted that will reward players
with both a conclusion questline and a long tail system that adds a bit more value to
completing world quests.
Finally, secondary stats are still a powerful thing to consider, especially when looking
at rings and trinkets.
But the comical difference secondary stats made is no longer there.
Aside from a few outliers, I find myself a bit more satisfied with the revisit to secondary
stats.
Sims and addons still help with the fine tuning of player optimization but for most players,
item level is king.
So let's get on with the good stuff.
Here's my new list of five Legion disappointments that you probably can't deny.
The 7.2 edition.
Social tools Artifact power
Flight implementation 7.2 expectations
Broken shore?
Social tools.
We're currently on patch 7.2 and with 7.2.5 around the corner, I think it's safe to
see that the delivery of WoW's improved "social toolkit" has been delivered, and
color me disappointed.
The social tools mentioned in Legion's announcement had me a bit excited.
A some of you may know, I'm a big fan of guilds and developing lasting relationships
as opposed to the dependence of queues and pugs that seem to permeate today's WoW culture.
Toasts are those notifications telling you your existing friends are doing something
and would rather not do with you, otherwise they'd say something first.
It's my opinion but while this feature adds a bit of convenience when you already have
a big battle.net friend list, it can be kind of annoying.
In fact one of the first big threads I noticed on this topic was to ask how to turn it off,
followed by a link to an addon that could disable the notification.
I get that our attention spans are short these days, but if we really wanted to play with
our friends, we'd reach out.
At least, I think.
The other feature comes straight out of Twitter and Selfie camera hell, a Facebook integration
with the formerly Battle.net client turned Blizzard Application.
Now you can opt in and have your Blizzard App notify you of all the FB friends you're
already stalking that hey, they've been playing Blizzard games without you, too.
I don't mean to insult Blizzard's efforts to reinforce relationships, but this is entirely
not what I expected by improved social tools.
Here I am pushing my agenda again but I expected something more robust but practical, a much
more powerful guild finder/player finder tool that helps facilitate the building of long
term groups for PvP or PvE or RP or whatever activity.
WoW needs more in game help for those who don't meander into external communities
like the Reddits or the Discords.
Artifact Power.
Actually in a lot of ways, the premise of AP isn't bad.
I think it's an unobtainable Unicorn of game design, but the idea of an endless system
that rewards the behaviors of both hardcore and casual players with reasonable parity
sounds pretty darn cool.
Blizzard has done a good job of pushing the system, learning from mistakes, and reiterating
on its design to adapt to the players' habits.
However, this cycle of learning and reiterating has been really, really jarring for these
players.
Before 7.2, players were starting to effectively finish powering up their weapon and were miles
ahead of their counterparts who were catching up.
The social demands for high item level and achievements to sign up for guild runs or
even menial PUGs now included the demand for an unreasonable artifact rank that suited
the group leader's wants.
In response, 7.2 came around and we now have an artifact power requirement that brings
players closer together, but also reads like a promise of mathematical futility.
Blizzard decided that hey, instead of setting a cap that we think is high enough, let's
use astronomical numbers instead.
And in a way, it worked.
With a raid in the horizon the hard expectations of artifact rank have become more like a reasonable
expectation.
But for Blizzard to have to make inelegant changes to artifact weapons with this whole
de-leveling process, it's probably on players' minds that in 7.3, this could happen again.
It makes me wonder that if in the next expansion, will something similar to this progression
system exist?
I'm not sure, but I don't think WoW's developers nor its players should burden itself
with a system like this that's critical to player progression but ends up being very
malleable.
Flight.
I've already talked about this once, so I'll make this one quick.
Flight itself is okay.
Flight as a mechanic is something I don't entirely agree with, but it doesn't necessarily
break the game, thanks to the current Pathfinder achievements that control its release.
My disappointment with flight in 7.2 is that its delivery was lackluster and with no more
fanfare than your standard achievement.
There's no awesome quest that grants me the ability, or the permission to fly.
There's no tongue-in-cheek thing from Khadgar where he's like, "I'm sure you've
been wanting to take to the skies, Champion, let me give you that opportunity," then
pats us on the head and tah dah, we can fly.
There's just the sound and the toast of the achievement, and I guess the relief of
completing it.
But the worst part about flight is that there's nothing fresh or new or exciting to do with
it.
Current world content is easier.
Yay.
The world looks different from the sky.
Cool.
But there's nowhere to go that makes flight mean something.
Flight doesn't unlock anything like I don't know, a timed quest to help deliver supplies
to 3 different areas under attack.
There could be random legion ships in each zone with rare mobs waiting to be killed.
There could be Kirin Tor based world quests based on actual flying and not the gimmicky
floating we've been trying to get around for the past few months.*********************
But there isn't.
There's just doing things faster with our alts, which IS nice.
And we can pause the game, so to speak.
And that's about it.
I'm happy to fly.
But Legion's world design doesn't seem to care one bit whether I can fly or not.
And that feels lazy to me.
7.2 expectations.
Ion Hazzikostas sort of squirreled his way out of this one.
But effective reasoning doesn't mitigate the disappointment of 7.2's delivery.
For the player type who wants to make sure that their favorite character is as in line
with the game's story as possible, 7.2 has been a race from one hard stop to the next,
encountering quests to complete activities that they've already been doing for the
past few weeks.
The claim of 7.2 being the "largest patch ever" turned out to be true from the eyes
of its developers.
Same for players who work multiple toons and specs who could otherwise feel much too overwhelmed.
Bellular hit the mark on this with a recent video.
Thanks to his desire to deliver on class guides he's churning through 7.2 to develop content
and taking every advantage of the numerous systems updates that do make the game more
alt friendly.
But for the individual player who does not have 12 characters and every spec being worked
on, 7.2 feels like only a fraction of the delivery that was promised.
It's not entirely guaranteed yet but 7.3 expects to be a more unified experience for
all players, meaning that development time will go into a delivery that everyone will
be able to play through, and there should be fewer instances of content that are reserved
for a particular spec and class.
But we're nowhere near that yet.
So I'm a little bummed.
PvP gearing.
So I wouldn't consider myself too much of a PvPer at all so let me describe my experience
with it from the outside.
If I, Soul, want some of that cool gear from pvp, here's what I do.
I go around the Broken Isles and complete Warden Towers for honor points and marks of
honor.
Then I wait till the next season, then buy the old set.
Titanforging.
I've also talked about this before.
I'll bring it up again.
Titanforging threatens to compromise the fulfillment of completing content.
Not to say that Titanforged gear totally negates content, but thanks to it existing in every
delivery of Legion's reward systems, it's watered down the older paradigm of working
your way up from easier to harder challenges.
Over the years Blizzard has fought against instances where a boss drops a fancy collection
of gear that absolutely no one needs or can use.
It's not a fun feeling, especially during progression.
Blizzard made changes over the years, including the rebalancing of secondary stats.
Having gear tokens.
Having gear change dynamically to suit a class's spec type.
Personal loot.
Basically, drops should have a high chance of being something players need because it's
an upgrade, again especially when this is progression and this is your first kill.
Titanforging threatens the upgrade aspect of it.
Players don't need to imagine scenarios; but have stories of where loot drops and no
one needs anything because the gear earned from outside the raid or dungeon turned out
to be much better thanks to Titanforging.
It's made gear from higher forms of content feel a bit less special and takes some of
the reward out of a hard earned win.
In fact if we go full hyperbole, so don't take me seriously on this one, the only gear
to look forward to in the Tomb of Sargeras might only be tier and trinkets, since those
are the only ways gear is unique against everything outside of it.
And this is a big might; players are probably saving every nethershard they can get a hold
of in the hopes that when the Tomb comes out, they can try getting Titanforged gear off
relinquished tokens.
I don't know if relinquished tokens can titanforge all the way to Tomb of Sargeras
gear, but someone'll try it.

If You Have Thin Brittle Nails, Insomnia Or Hair Loss, Start Eating This! - Duration: 1:53.
We all have a good idea where our kidneys are without looking at a photo of the anatomy.
But can we state the location of adrenal glands?
These two grape-sized glands sit on top of each kidney.
The glands secrete a stream of hormones into our system which regulate our immune system,
metabolism as well as blood pressure.
Additionally, these hormones are what allow us to manage stress.
In today's video we will take a look at one natural homemade recipe that will improve
the functionality of your adrenal glands.
There's no set measurement, but you'll want to create a mixture of about 2 tablespoons,
just enough to eat before breakfast.
First, you will need to assemble the following ingredients:
Brazilian walnuts Dried parsley leaves
Pure natural honey Ground ginger
Raisins
Preparation procedures Place Brazilian walnuts and dried parsley
leaves in a blender Blend these 2 ingredients
Add honey, raisins and ginger
Consume this adrenal-gland booster 2 or 3 times a week.
In no time, you should notice improvement not only with fatigue, but your hair will
have a natural luster.
Also, those brittle nails may be a thing of the past.

How Do I Avoid Crashing In The Wind Using Deep Section Wheels? | Ask GCN Anything Cycling - Duration: 11:05.
- Here we are again.
We've the show where we answer because you have asked.
It is Ask GCN Anything, and the first
of those questions this week
comes in on Twitter from Edwin.
"I never use a saddle bag.
"So, is there any alternate, compact,
"and effective solution to carry your saddle bag stuff?
"#torqueback"
Remember that one for asking your questions on Twitter.
- Now, I never used to use a saddlebag,
but of late, I have, because it means
I don't have to have my pockets
absolutely rammed full of stuff,
which can be really uncomfortable,
and actually, it does rather stretch the limits
of your rather expensive cycling jersey, as well,
and then, because your pockets are so full,
it's actually very difficult to get anything
out in the first place, so saddlebags are pretty good,
but there are other alternatives.
- Yeah, there are.
Of course, they have developed over the years,
haven't they, from looking like basically
a leather briefcase underneath your saddle
to what they are now, which is, in my mind,
quite neat and compact, and I have always
used saddlebags, ever since I first started cycling,
to carry my spares.
Like you said, your jersey can get so weighed down,
it's almost pulls below the saddle anyways.
You might as well have a saddlebag.
There are, though, other alternatives.
We did a questionnaire not too long ago,
most pros use saddlebags.
Some of them use a cut-off water bottle,
as Matt is displaying now,
and we go through some ways of carrying your spares
in this next video. - Check it out.
May involve karate.
- Yep, the half water bottle, neatly packed,
and then stored inside one of your water bottle cages,
which admittedly means that you will take
one less water bottle with you,
but probably then just good for short rides.
- Well, next up, we have this question
in the comments section from Stephen Heyworth, who asks,
"How do I avoid potentially lethal moments
in gusty crosswinds on deep,
but not that deep, profile wheels?
At high speed down the Horseshoe Pass
when a sharp and strong gust steered the front wheel,
resulting in a terrifying shimmy."
- I've seen you do a few terrifying shimmies in my time,
not even on the bike.
- I am actually quite a good dancer, you know.
Just leave my shimmies out of this.
Anyway, that is a really good question
and I do know the Horseshoe Pass very well.
A beautiful part of the world over in North Wales.
A long climb, this gradual sweeping bend on it,
very easy to get caught out in crosswinds.
Now, I think, we should say first up,
it is a cracking question,
but you should never go out
with deep-section rims on, really,
when it's particularly windy.
And of course, the wind generally does catch
the front wheel, so if in doubt,
and you like having these deep-sections on,
no harm having a deep-section at the back
and a box section at the front.
That's the first off, isn't it?
- Yeah, definitely.
And also, you want to think about
looking ahead on the road, see where the wind
might be affecting you most, so for example,
if you're in a tree-lined area
or going through hedges, and out front
you can suddenly see a part where they disappear
and it's particularly exposed,
that is the point at which you want to really expect
an extra gust of wind from the side,
which can catch you out if you're not expecting it.
Also, grip the bars slightly firmer
than you would do normally, so that you're able
to really react in terms of your steering,
and it also helps to get slightly lower at the front end.
More weight on the front should mean that
the wind has less of an effect on the steering.
From that point of view, actually,
heavier riders do tend to experience this slightly less
than featherweight climbers.
Up next, though, we have got a lot of tips for you
in a video entitled, How to Deal with Crosswinds.
- When you're riding in a group,
the rider that's about to come to the front
needs to be protected from the wind
until the very last moment,
so if the wind is coming from the left,
for example, then the group needs to
rotate counter-clockwise.
Or here, where the wind's coming from the right,
you're gonna need to rotate clockwise.
- Next up, it's time for the rapid-fire round,
but before we start, I think I might rename it
the steady-fire round after your performance last week.
- Just keep it slow. - It was high in quality,
but slow in pace, that's what I'm saying.
It certainly wasn't rapid-fire.
- Sorry about that.
Oh, we'd better crack on, then.
Paul Lafford asks, "Hi guys.
"Please tell me what's more beneficial,
"a complete rest day, doing nothing,
"or a recovery spin on a so-called rest day?"
Very good question.
We've actually just shot a video on this very subject,
so keep your eyes peeled on the channel
for that coming up very soon.
There isn't much scientific evidence
to say that there is a benefit to recovery rides,
but there is a little bit.
I think what most people advise
is to do what feels best for you,
so if you come off the back of
a complete rest day feeling better
than doing a recovery ride, do that, and vice versa.
- Well, I always found that having
one complete day off the bike in a week
is always good.
I think, from a psychological perspective,
you just feel really fresh.
And you can get stuck into training,
'cause bike riding's pretty hard work.
Take a day off.
Try it, and see how you feel.
Next up, we have this from B OS,
"It's ridiculous advice to say,
'listen to your body.'
I'd never get out of bed."
- I don't know what to say to that.
- Nor do I, really.
- I think we generally mean when
you're on the bike as much as anything
- Yes. - If you're feeling fatigued
and you can't do anything, it's time to take a day off.
Broody asks, "I'm a recreational mid-age cyclist training
"for a 100 km tour, next to running a company
"and a part-time job.
"What are good cool-downs and warm-ups
"before and after my training that are effective,
"keep me healthy, and are not time consuming.
"Keep it up!"
Well, it's an interesting one for cycling.
You do need to warm up a bit,
but it's not quite the same as doing something like squash,
or running, or football, where you're
really kind of extending yourself and jarring your muscles.
It's very important to warm them up
before you go into a full-blown game of any of those.
In cycling, it's more about just
warming your motor up gradually,
but I think you really only need ten minutes or so
with maybe a couple of thirty-second efforts
at very high cadence.
Not hard efforts, just really spinning the legs.
- Yeah, it's different if your going to be riding a
10 mile time trial or a short explosive effort
where you do need to do efforts that will replicate
the effort you're gonna be making in the time trial,
but if you're just going out on your bike,
do a bit of stretching as well, if you want,
if you find that beneficial, but again,
there's not a lot of scientific research
that suggests that is actually beneficial,
but it can feel good.
So just ease yourself into the ride,
a few sprints, off you go. - Yeah.
In terms of cool-down, then, well that's just
a case of spinning for five or ten minutes
on your way back home, in general.
I spoke to Chris Froome a couple years back,
and he says that, in his cool-down,
he actually does a couple of efforts within it.
He did tell me the scientific reasoning behind that,
but I've forgotten it.
- This really is the steady-fire round, isn't it?
- Sorry. - No, no worries.
All good stuff. - Alright,
let's go to Filippo Velli, then.
"I'm a student starting cycling on a limited budget.
"Is it better to buy a higher-end used road bike
"or a lower-end new one?"
That is always a difficult question.
- It's a cracker.
My view on this is to do some research,
invest a bit of time looking at what's out there,
but I would go for, maybe, a higher-end used one,
but you need to make sure that you're pretty happy
with the integrity of the bike and the frame, etc,
but you might get a lot more value for the money.
Or look towards the end of the bike season.
You get a new bike that's last year's model.
You can get a good deal that way, as well.
- Yeah. - But, yeah,
just do your research.
Do your homework, really.
- Yeah, I think if you're going to go for the former ,
a good secondhand bike, you need to have a bit of patience,
don't you, to wait for the right one
at the right price to come along,
but some people out there just like getting their hands on
something brand new, and that's fair enough,
so each to their own, really.
Finally, Luke Wight says, "After races, I am frequently
"being told I am a smooth rider,
"and have been told this by a number of people I race with.
"Is being called smooth a bad thing?"
- No! - No,
I wouldn't have thought so.
- If you're being called a smooth rider,
it's generally because you got a good style on the bike,
or you've got particularly well-shaved legs.
- Yeah, my ethos was always that,
since I wasn't very good, I'd try to look at least smooth.
- Yeah, and that's it.
Looking smooth--
Doesn't matter about the power.
If you look smooth, job done.
- Yeah.
Next up, a question that comes in from David Roeder.
"Slightly embarrassing, but I'm a new rider
"with a low FTP of 155 after doing the Zwift test.
"I'm trying to do zone and sweet spot training,
"but I live in a particularly hilly area.
"Just getting up a hill, I'm putting myself
"into the red fast.
"Have you got any suggestions?"
- Well, thanks for getting in touch, David,
but first off, don't be embarrassed about
having a relatively modest FTP at all,
because we all have to start somewhere.
And first up, you're clearly--
You've got ambition.
You're going out on your bike
and you're trying to improve yourself,
and that's a winner in my book.
And as long as you're enjoying it, that's fair enough.
But, I do sympathise with trying to do sweet spot training
in a particularly hilly area,
because I live in an area with lots of steep climbs,
and my ride to work is brutal,
and I must admit I like to ride at an even rhythm,
so, yeah, it is quite tough, but there are ways
you can address that.
- Yeah, definitely.
And you've already mentioned the fact
that you've done a test on the Zwift,
so presumably you've got access
to the online virtual world, and that could be
a great way of doing your initial training,
because you've also mentioned you're a new cyclist,
so it might well be that your fitness
increases quite quickly.
You may lose some weight.
Don't know exactly what size you are.
In which case, say for example, you get to an FTP
of over 200 watts in a couple of months,
lose a bit of weight, you may well then find
that you're going up these climbs
at a much easier rate than you were.
Likewise, you also need to think about your gearing,
also not embarrassing to have a triple chainset at the front
or a huge cassette at the rear,
and that will help you, again, to get up the climbs
at a slower pace with a decent cadence,
at a lower power, as well, which should
help you to keep inside that zone.
You can also make sure that you tackle the climbs correctly.
How to find your rhythm is the video
that's coming up next in the very hot and humid
Abu Dhabi, Jabel Hafeet.
Finding your rhythm on the climb
and tackling it in the correct way
could help you with your cause, as well.
- 46 degrees Celsius.
- When you're thinking about climbing rhythm,
be sure to start thinking about
any point where you can pick up some extra speed.
So, are there some points in the climb
where the gradient slackens off slightly?
If there are, what you should do
is just keep the same cadence and rhythm
by clicking down through the gears
and picking up some speed.
- Finally, on this week's Ask GCN Anything,
we have this question from somebody called Endz Lim.
What a cracking name for the final question
of this weeks show. - True.
- Endz has asked, quite simply,
"Going back to basics.
"How does a bike work?
"And the evolution of cycling."
Well, Endz, that really is going back to basics,
which can, on occasions, be particularly interesting,
especially when it come to the evolution
of the humble bicycle, well over a century ago.
- In fact, we have got a video about this fact
and a whole host of other cool facts,
about facts you didn't know about cycling
in a video entitled,
Top Ten Facts You Didn't Know About Cycling.
- Yeah, so it's not actually a fact,
because it's more of a rumor, but
apparently the first ever sketch of a bicycle
was made all the way back in 1493
by a student of Leonardo DaVinci,
and his name was Gian Giancomo Caprotti,
and it was from that sketch
that this replica bike was made in the late 1960s.
- Well, that's the end of this week's Ask GCN Anything.
Thanks to those of you who asked questions.
Don't forget to keep sending them in
using the comments section below this video
or, indeed, the hashtag #torqueback on social media.
- Indeed.

Annabelle the Doll: The Origins - Duration: 20:11.
The year was 1970.
For her 25th birthday, Deidre Bernard received what, at the time, would have appeared a quirky
and fun present - a Raggedy Ann doll.
Her mother had given it to her in the hope that it would bring cheer to her daughter's
apartment whilst she was studying to become a nurse.
The gift was well-received.
The following morning Deidre placed the doll on her bed, with its arms and legs stretched
out.
However, after just a few days of this new routine, Deidre started to notice something
peculiar: every morning she would leave her Raggedy Ann doll seated with limbs stretched
out, yet, every night she would return to find the doll's arms and legs in different
positions.
Sometimes the doll's legs would be crossed.
Occasionally its arms would crossed and resting in its lap.
Then, there were the times when Deidre would find the doll's arms pointing outwards,
almost as though it was silently gesturing to something…
The doll's activity grew odder still.
It began to move to different rooms of its own accord.
It was at this point that everyone in the apartment began to feel the eerie effect of
the Raggedy Ann doll.
One night Deidre returned home with her roommate Lara Clifton, also a trainee nurse, and her
fiance Cal Randell.
Upon opening the door, they found the doll kneeling before them on a chair.
It sat there, staring at them with its big, black eyes.
Despite having been left, as usual, on Deidre's bed, the doll had moved.
Bothered by the doll's inexplicable relocation, they moved the doll and tried to make it kneel
again.
However, as the rag doll had no joints with which to kneel, each time they positioned
it, it flopped over.
The only conclusion they could draw was that some force had been keeping the limp legs
of the doll in the kneeling position.
From then, the occurrences grew stranger still.
Notes, written in pencil on parchment paper, began to manifest randomly around the apartment.
The messages included phrases like "help us" or "help Cal".
Strangely, neither Deidre or her roommates could link these messages to an emergency
or urgent situation to attend to at the time.
Not only that, none of them kept pencils or parchment paper anywhere in the apartment.
Assuming that someone was breaking into their home to play a trick on them, Deidre and Lara
began leaving marks around windows and doors.
They also rearranged furnishings, all in the hope that, if anyone did enter the apartment,
they would leave a trace.
All was to no avail.
The doll continued to teleport from room to room and change its posture frequently One
day, they arrived home to find the back of the doll's hand covered in something which
they could only discern as blood.
Its hands were bloody, with three distinct spots of blood on its chest.
Understandably, the young women were terrified.
In need of resolution, Deidre and Lara contacted a psychic medium for help.
The clairvoyant claimed to have channeled the spirit of a seven-year-old girl from the
doll.
It was said that she used to play in the area, long before the houses were built, back when
all that was there were fields.
Many happy hours were passed in childish innocence until, all of a sudden, it mysteriously came
to an end.
Since her death, the child spirit had wandered the fields.
Once the apartments were built upon them, its halls became a lonely place for her to
haunt.
The pace of modern life meant everyone was at work all the time, leaving the spectral
girl with no one to play with.
But then, one day, two young women moved in and brought with them a playful looking Raggedy
Ann doll.
Finally she had something to play with, and more so, young people who would be more sympathetic
and allow her to play with them.
Through the vessel of the psychic medium, the spirit girl asked if she could live in
the doll and be with Deidre and Lara.
Touched by her story, the two women said yes to the little girl, whose name was Annabelle
Higgins.
That was when the haunting truly began.
The doll became Annabelle, and the two young women started to treat it like a living, breathing
being.
It was no longer a doll, but Annabelle - a young and lonely girl.
Regardless of the nurses' compassion, Cal, Lara's fiance, was convinced that no good
would come from this.
He saw it as a voodoo doll of sorts, whose ambition was to trick and take advantage of
them.
Annabelle saw that he was a threat, and so she turned her malevolent gaze upon him.
In the weeks that followed, Cal was plagued with nightmares and ill feelings.
One night he awoke to see the doll Annabelle gliding over his semi-conscious body.
Before he could react, its hands were around his neck.
The doll's big, black eyes stared into his, as its grasp sought to sap the life from Cal's
body.
As hard as he pushed against Annabelle, the doll would not move - it was as if he were
pushing a wall.
After much effort, Cal managed to free himself.
However, Annabelle would not forget his insult so easily.
Soon after that incident, Cal was alone with Lara one night in the apartment.
After hearing a noise coming from Deidre's bedroom, Cal went to investigate the source
of the sound.
There was nobody in there, except for Annabelle, which had been tossed on the floor in the
corner of the room.
Alone, he walked over to the doll.
It was then that he claimed he was physically attacked: doubling over in pain, Cal felt
the searing sensation of seven "claw" marks being etched into his chest.
When Lara found him, there was blood "all over his shirt".
By now, it was becoming increasingly clear that Annabelle's attacks were escalating,
and that all of their lives were in danger.
Deidre, Lara and Cal contacted their local priest.
He in turn contacted his superiors, who passed on the story of Annabelle to the paranormal
investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Upon arriving at their apartment and listening to their testimonies, the Warrens diagnosed
the happenings as the result of demonic infestation.
There had never been an Annabelle; instead, it was all the trick of a demonic, "inhuman
spirit" delivered through the mouth of an unsuspecting medium.
As Deidre and Lara had agreed to let the entity possess the doll, it had received the permission
required to be able to inflict harm.
The Warrens further stated that if the situation had continued unchecked, the demonic entity
would have probably killed them all within a "week or two".
Thus, Ed contacted the priest and requested an exorcism of the apartment.
The priest duly exorcised and blessed the apartment and its residents.
At Deidre's request, the Warrens took the doll home with them.
Whilst Deidre, Lara and Cal were now free of the malevolent entity, for Ed and Lorraine
it was only the beginning.
Annabelle was placed in the back seat of the car.
Within no time at all, the Warrens felt the presence of the demonic spirit in the car
with them.
Angry, it plagued the car, making it stall and causing the power steering and brakes
to fail.
At times, Ed claimed he lost all control of the car.
Several times during the drive, they came close to a fatal accident.
The third time that the car stalled, Ed pulled out a vial of holy water from his equipment
bag and splashed the demonic doll with it.
For the rest of the car journey home, the demonic spirit did not bother them.
Once home, Ed placed Annabelle in a chair next to his desk.
The Warrens have stated that over the next few days, the doll levitated and teleported
between different rooms of the house.
Not only that, one time whilst home alone, Lorraine reported hearing "loud, rolling
growls that reverberated throughout the house".
On one occasion, a priest visited to talk with the Warrens about their recent case involving
Annabelle.
During the discourse, the priest picked up the doll and said:
"You are just a rag doll, Annabelle.
You can't hurt anything."
With a laugh, Ed warned him not to say such a thing again.
When it was time for the priest to leave, Lorraine took special care to tell him to
drive carefully.
She claimed that her clairvoyance had "discerned tragedy for that young priest."
A few hours later the priest's car was totaled in a near fatal car accident after his brakes
had failed.
In the years that followed, more incidences of paranormal phenomena were said to have
occurred around Annabelle, including at least one death.
The situation became so dangerous that Ed and Lorraine had Annabelle encased in a glass
box, with the warning:
"Positively do not open."
Such is the tale of Annabelle the doll.
This is the story that has been recounted by various writers, most notably Gerald Brittle,
who based his book on the Warren's own case files and exclusive interviews with the husband
and wife duo.
In the years that have followed, the tale, despite its almost fantastical elements, has
been presented as unquestionably true.
In 2014, these allegedly true events inspired the prequel to the much-beloved Conjuring
horror movie.
However, the actual evidence for Annabelle the doll being infested by an inhuman demonic
spirit is scant.
Beyond the testimonies of the Warrens and a Raggedy Ann doll locked away with a warning
written in scary font, there is little to prove the truth of the story.
Certainly, even confirming the names of those involved is a difficult task.
Depending on where one looks, Deidre changes into both "Donna" and "Debbie".
Asides from these inconsistencies, the Warrens initial handling of the cases raises alarm
bells.
When they first met with Deidre and the others, little or no evidence was collected.
Their testimonies were taken at face value, meaning that demonic infestation was the first,
and only, conclusion to be drawn.
Of course, one can argue that Lorraine's clairvoyance allowed her to confirm what they
said.
But, is this really enough to convince skeptics?
Whilst Deidre, Lara and Cal can be said to have had no motive to lie, misinterpretation
or misremembering were never consider a possibility by the Warrens.
As for the spiritual relief felt after the priest exorcised the apartment, this could
be attributed to the natural positive effect - regardless of the situation - of a priest's
presence to the religious.
With such a shaky base, the most cynically minded might even question the very existence
of Deidre, Lara and Cal in the first place.
Certainly, it is not necessarily a wise policy to automatic trust the word of the Warrens.
Ed and Lorraine Warren have always been regarded as sincere and kind-hearted people.
However, since founding the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952, their work has
attracted much criticism and controversy.
Indeed, they profited greatly from book sales, ticket-only evening events, tickets sales
to their exclusive museum, and $5,000 lectures they conducted in the 1990s.
All this being said, it is unfair to deny the couple an income.
After all, Ed and Lorraine dedicated much time to their paranormal research - it would
have been impossible for them to have explored all the cases they did had they not treated
it as a job.
Even to this day, at the age of 90, Lorraine is still active, hosting the occasional lecture
and evening event.
Providing that the Warrens were honest and professional in their research and fair in
their fees, it is unreasonable to criticise them for making a living.
Yet, it is precisely the matter of honesty and professionalism which has aroused the
suspicions of some who have encountered the Warrens.
The Warrens' occult museum is claimed to be the "oldest and only museum of its kind",
having attracted attention from across the globe.
Undoubtedly, it is the jewel of the Warrens work.
It is in this museum that Annabelle is housed.
During an interview sometime before Ed passed away in 2006, Ed and Lorraine showed many
of the items in their collection to an interviewer.
One of the objects discussed was an alleged original "Books of Shadows", the Necronomicon.
In spite of Ed's assertion that the
Necronomicon book contains English translations of old and dangerous incantations, it is widely
known to be a fictional grimoire published by an unknown author in 1977.
In the years afterwards, it was independently denounced as fraudulent by many members of
the occult community.
By stitching together fiction with material from older sources, the book is "a well-constructed
hoax", being known to have duped several wannabe paranormal practitioners, including,
it seems, the Warrens.
Not only is the Necronomicon a literary hoax, but the claim that it is a Book of Shadows
is misleading.
Rather than be a collection of ancient and dangerous spells and rituals, Books of Shadows
are associated with the Neopaganism movement of the 1940s and 50s, and usually contain
religious texts and white magic.
For someone who made a career off paranormal research, investigations and knowledge of
the occult, it seems like quite a rookie mistake for Ed to have made.
As such, some have drawn the conclusion that the "Necronomicon" "Book of Shadows",
and many of the other items in the Warrens' Occult Museum, are merely the stuff of Halloween
horror stories - juicy morsels of sensational horror which serve the purpose of drawing
in visitors to their museum.
Annabelle the doll, an item in that museum, could very well serve this same purpose.
Yet, as serious a folly as it might seem for a pair of paranormal experts to present a
well-known hoax as real, let us not judge too harshly.
After all, every now and again everyone makes mistakes: human errors should not be what
defines our intellect or our ability to scrutinise.
Perhaps it is more prudent, then, to investigate the ethics of the Warrens.
It is here, however, that possibly the most damning piece of evidence against Ed and Lorraine
can be found.
In 1992 novelist Ray Garton published the book, "In a Dark Place: The Story of a True
Haunting".
The focus of the story, a possession case involving the Warrens, would eventually go
on to inspire the 2009 horror film "The Haunting in Connecticut".
The story told of the Snedekers, a family whose home was possessed by ghosts and demons.
According to the book, the grip which these dark entities had on the family was so strong
that the family were sexually molested by the beings.
However, the extent of the "truth" behind this "true" story is questionable, with
much of the evidence against the Warrens coming from the author himself.
During an interview for "Horror Bound" magazine, Garton explained how he worked closely with
both the Warrens and the family whilst writing the book.
However, after interviewing the family members about their experiences, the novelist encountered
a problem:
"I found that the accounts of the individual Snedekers didn't quite mesh.
They couldn't keep their stories straight.
I went to Ed with this problem.
'Oh, they're crazy,' he said….
'You've got some of the story — just use what works and make the rest up…
Just make it up and make it scary.'"
In the interview, Garton admitted that he did what Ed told him.
"I used what I could, made up the rest, and tried to make it as scary as I could."
Perhaps it is all slander.
Either way, the claims of Garton and other instances of doubt, do tarnish the trustworthiness
of the Warrens' word.
And, unfortunately, in the case of Annabelle, the Warrens' word is all we have.
As such, the case of Annabelle the doll can only be regarded as, at best, dubious.
Thank you for watching.

(Dee) Trash. Trash.
T... Trash.
Ughhhh. (grunts)
Come on, Dee... You used to be better at this.
You used to be the queen of this.
The Chanel comma Coco at this.
Take a tarp - make it silk.
Glue some weave - make it mink.
Yaaas,
it takes a visionary queen -
to make diamonds out of glass.
To make diamonds out of glass.
Unnnngh. (sighs)
Trash. Trash.
Ohh......
Ohhhhh.....
What? The camera don't pick out thread counts, honey.
Ah....
Ah....
Ah...ouch!
Think this is easy?
You try making a cocktail dress out of cocktail napkins.
Every morning a shave.
Every square inch, smooth.
My body: a clean canvas.
Map, blend, highlight, dust:
Pop your pout. Sculpt your jaws.
Strobe your cheeks. Cat your eyes...
Drama, Dee! Drama....
Some mornings, gin.
Fine,...most mornings, gin.
And then, the dress.
Most important, the dress.
Who am I?
A clean canvas...becoming me, becoming Dee!
But ugh, this dress!
Ah...
Ah.....
(the lights go out)
Hmm...
Money. Money.
The only difference between me and Lena Horne, honey,
is money.
Money, and respect.
You know where they can tell a thread count
from a thousand yards away?
The Upper East Side.
Oh...
Out there I'm not pretty.
I'm a freak.
Out there, I'm not thrifty.
I'm poor.
Out there, oh, out there...
I'm not safe out there...
A stunning dress,
A heavenly dress.
A transcendent garbage dress for me...yas!
Ah...
Ah...Ah...Ah...
Hello there Dee.
Why hello there Dee
Legendary
Oui.
It takes a visionary queen
to make a queen out of this.
A queenly woman...out of this.
(knock at the door)
Who's there?
I don't have any money.
(knock at the door)
Leave me alone!
(Martina) Mama, it's us.
(Lola) Open the door. It's cold.
(Dee) What time is it?
(Lola) Ooh, it's dress o'clock.
Where's mine?
(Martina) Where's mine?
(Lola) No, me first!
(Dee) Okay, okay!
Like a pair of rabid dogs.
Now, what do you say?
(Martina) Thank you.
(Lola) I look amazing.
(Trio) Oh, it takes a visionary queen.
To make a queen out of us.
(Lola) A queenly woman out of us.
(Scene 2)
(Lola) Thought we had it.
(Martina) Did you really?
(Lola) Thought we nailed it.
(Martina) Honey, we got nailed.
(Lola) Like Jesus
(Martina) On her bad day.
(laughs)
(Lola) What happened?
(Martina) You know what happened.
(Lola) Wasn't me, right?
(Martina) Wasn't you, doll.
(Lola) Wasn't you, boo.
(Martina) I know that.
(Lola) Wasn't me.
(Martina) Wasn't you.
(Lola) Wasn't you. (Martina) Wasn't me.
(Lola) Wasn't me. (Martina) Wasn't you.
(Lola) Wasn't you. (Martina) Wasn't me.
(Lola & Martina) Wasn't me. Wasn't you. Wasn't me.
We spent months. Nights and days. Walking fiercely
A hundred ways.
What happened to the days,
when we had it?
(Lola) Was it us?
(Martina) Was it her?
(Lola) Was it her? (Martina) Was it us?
(Martina) Was it her? (Lola) Was it us?
(Lola & Martina) Was it us? Was it her?
Brand new queens. Throwing shade.
All these houses. With legs for days!
Quelle domage! What a waste:
Serving realness, and giving face.
What, what happened to the days
When we had it?
(Martina) When we had it?
(Lola) When we had it?
It wasn't us.
(Martina) Wasn't us. It was her.
(Lola & Martina) It was Dee. Our Mama.
We spent months. Nights and days.
Walking fierce. A hundred ways.
What happened to the days, What happened to the days
When we had it?
The House of Legendary.
We used to have it.
(Martina) Here comes Dee. Try not to be dramatic.
(Lola) Everything is ruined!
(Dee) Lola, my little cricket, stop crying!
Your mascara ain't waterproof.
(Lola) But mama, it got ugly!
(Martina) They laughed at us!
(Dee) They laugh once, and now you're in tears?
They don't know who they're dealing with.
The House of Legendary.
Dee Legendary.
That's me.
Dee Legendary. The queen.
They wanna read me.
They can't. I'm Proust. Too hard.
Try Seuss. That has pictures.
They wanna de-throne me.
Who me? I'm queen. Divine law.
Kneel down. I'm timeless.
The House of Legendary. Dee Legendary. That's me.
Dee Legendary. The queen.
They wanna be new. They wanna run the game.
But drag ain't no game. It's life: that's my thesis.
And besides. Step back. Look up. I invented game.
So what if they're young?
So what if they're fresh?
You see this ballroom?
I own this.
The flag they planted. It's useless.
It's useless. Ah...ah...ah!
The House of Legendary. Dee Legendary. That's me.
Dee Legendary. The queen.
You gotta go through the queen first to be legendary.
Gotta know realness first
To be legendary.
Gotta learn from Mama Dee first.
To be legendary.
So...
Open you books. Take notes.
Lesson number one:
Dee Legendary. That's me, Dee Legendary.
Your mothuh. The queen.
(Lola) But our looks.
(Martina) But our dances.
(Dee) What's wrong with your dresses?
(Martina) So our dances. (Lola) Our routines.
(Martina) So outdated.
(Dee) Outdated? (Lola) So passe.
(Dee) You mean classic?
(Lola) we want Madonna.
(Martina) Cover of Vogue.
(Dee) You want trash?
(Lola & Martina) Big diamonds. Red carpets.
Rich husbands. Big contracts.
I want more than this life. We want more than this life.
(Dee) This is our life.
(Lola & Martina) We want more than this life.
I want more than this life. I want to be (Dee) This is our life.
(Lola) A rich wife! (Martina) A big star!
(Dee) This is it. This is our life.
(Martina) We want Madonna (Lola) Cover of Vogue.
(Dee) This is our life.
(M&L) We want Madonna. Cover of Vogue. (Dee) This is our life. (repeats 3x)
(M&L) This ain't working Dee.
(Trio) The House of Legendary
(Dee) is my life. (M&L) ain't giving me life.
(Lola) I dunno, Mama, we love you.
(Martina) But this ain't working.
(Scene 3)
(John) Hey there, sweet lady. Where you walking to so fast?
You know, it's dangerous around here at nighttime.
'Specially for such a sweet lady.
Hey there, sweet lady, lookin' mighty good tonight.
Hey there, sweet lady, hey there.
It's a good night for lovin', sweet lady.
Hey there, sweet lady. How 'bout a big man like me?
How 'bout it? How 'bout it?
Oh, hey there, sweet lady,
It's a fine night for walkin'
What if a sweet lady...
(Dee) Allow me to stop you, sir.
Before you call me a lady again.
(John) Well, that's what you are, ain't it?
(Dee) No.)
(John) No?
(Dee) You must have me confused with someone else.
I'm not a lady.
I am a woman.
(John laughs)
You got quite a mouth on you. I like that.
(Dee) what an exquisite compliment.
But if you don't mind, sweet sir,
I should get going.
(John) Wait, what's the rush?
We haven't discussed any numbers yet.
(Dee) Numbers?
Twenty? Forty? Fifty?
Or are you more "high class" than that?
Come on, doll. You don't want me to get mean, do you?
(Dee laughs)
You laughin'. But you won't like it when I'm mean.
(Dee) By all means go ahead. Let's see what people say
when they find out you're a cop.
Why suddenly so quiet, officer?
(John) No...that's not me...
(Dee) I know how to spot a pig.
It's Officer John, i'n't it?
Officer John, that's you, isn't it?
I've seen you on the streets.
Oh, Officer John, I know that's you.
You work at the precinct near my house.
I've seen you at the balls before.
Yes, Officer John I'm sure that's your name.
You hide in that cap and those glasses.
A very sophisticated disguise.
(John) I don't know what you're talkin' about.
(Dee) You try not to, but you smile as you lurk...
A queen likes to know her audience.
(John) I'm advising you lady:
Don't tell anyone about this.
(Dee) Thank you so much, but I don't take advice
from closet faggots
(John) What'd you just call me??
(Dee) Stop, you're hurting me! Please, let me go!
You play nice, mister,
or I'll walk to your precinct,
Tell your buddies what kind of man you are.
And don't even think about coming to a ball again.
(John) Look, Dee...Yeah, I know your name...
I'm not usually like this. Okay?
So let's just relax.

Making Blueberry Liquor Cold Processed Soap & Visiting "Le Barbocheux" - Duration: 9:53.Today I am out of the soap shop to
present you some of my local suppliers!
Here I am at the "Barbocheux" which is a
handcrafted factory for wines, liquors
and other digestives. All of their
products are made with locally harvested
berries and local plants such as
cranberries, strawberries, blueberries,
raspberries, and more! Let me show you a
couple of their products and especially
the two that I will be using in my soaps!
Of course that is always the purpose!
Here we have Le "Châlin" which is a slightly
fermented blueberries and berries
liquor, followed by the "Ariel" a
raspberry liquor. I was very lucky as
Leonce Arsenault, the owner agreed to
take me downstairs to his workstation
where he makes everything from home
just like me!
I was able to see the rhubarb and
strawberries and the raspberries and all
the other berries in the big tanks that
are fermenting in order to be turned
into alcohol! He has to stir them
every day for many weeks and they will be
stirred like that and then they will
turn into alcohol and will be later
bottled! I will give you a link to his
website but if you want to taste and
enjoy these beauties you will have to
visit the Magdalen Islands! This one here
is called the Ariel it is named after a
boat that I believe shipwrecked around
our Islands. It is made with raspberries
and it is my personal favorite to drink
of course! But once in a while I
sacrifice a bottle to make my soap with it!
I am back in a soap studio and I'm
getting ready to make a batch of the
blueberry liquor soap. I will be using
the bottle of Châlin, I will boil it
down to remove any alcohol and just keep
the sugar and the warm and rich color
that it brings to the soap. As for the
raspberry Ariel liquor I already have a
video made about this one so I will
leave the link at the end of this video
if you would like to
take a look at it!
Hey I will be saving some for tonight!
The required amount for this recipe is
200 grams but I'm going to add a little
bit more just because I will have some
water loss during the boiling process.
I am going to be using a blueberry
fragrance oil from Crafters Choice it's
called fresh picked blueberries: it
smells so yummy and I love to use it in
cold process soap because it doesn't
discolor the soap and it doesn't
accelerate the trace either!
My oils and butters are ready, I will add
the coconut milk and then proceed with
the lye water.
I just poured the the white soap into the
mold and then realized my camera wasn't
on a record mode! So anyway this is just
white soap that has been poured as the
first layer and then I'm going to add
the interesting part which is the blue
in-the-pot swirl. Okay so basically I
have my teal right here and I made quite
a mess on the side... anyways, and here I
have my darker blue that has the alcohol
liquor in it and what I do is I will be
adding both of them into the bigger pot.
One of my favorite swirling tools is
simply the back of a spoon and this soap
has a nice swirl to it giving it a very
nice wave. So I'm just diving in!
And then I like to come back with a
spoon and just finish texturing the tops
of the soap! I did write some lines so I
know just about where I'm going to be
cutting these soaps, so I try to make my
texture along where the soap will be cut.
I can feel that this is getting very
hot and gelling but it's not even
because of the alcohol content of the
dark blue soap so this is why working
with alcohols we need to be prepared for
things to move pretty quickly!
I really like the new look of these
soaps, they are a bit different than my
previous design. I'm going to show it to
you right here so you can compare but
I'm really happy about it and I knew it
was going to be different because I used
a different marbling technique for the
color. I wanted it to look more like a wave
and something more reminiscent of the
seaside which I think is what I got and
I also texture the tops so they would
look like waves. I'm really happy
about the overall look, the new look, of
this soap. That is also why I called it
Blueberry Liquor Splash because there's
something maritime about this design!
Thank you so much for watching this
video! If you liked it please give it a
thumbs up and make sure you are
subscribed to my youtube channel and to
turn on the Bell icon to receive
notifications. If you would like to
purchase this soap the link will be
right below the video once it's ready.
Thanks again and I will see you very soon.

I preferiti di Aprile 2017 - April 2017 favourites feat. Zara, Primark, Jo Malone ect - Duration: 19:00.
>> Hi ya'll and welcome or welcome back to my channel
it's time again to share with you my monthly favourite products
the video in which I show you everything that I've been loving recently
skincare, make up, clothes, accessories, shoes and so on
To be honest this month I don't have a lot of favourites
because after the huge shopping spree of the past months
I tried to hold up and I didn't buy many new things and I used the things you may have already seen in my haul videos
or that I may have featured in past favourites video and that I'm not going to feature again
That said of course I do have a few things to recommend, so make yourself comfortable and let's start
with the clothes.
I only have 2 items to share for this cathegory
because as you can see I'm still in love with last month favourites
and I'm obsessed with this Primark dress
Anyway I have 2 pieces that I had featured in my Spring haul and if you watched it you may recognize them
The first one is by Primark too and it's this shirt
quite basic, but perfect for Spring
It's easy to pair, with these cute frills, a mandarin collar and I love to wear it with a denim skirt or my flared skirts
and it's perfect for Spring and Summer.
Speaking about springy clothes here comes the second piece
which was in my haul video too and it's this Zara Skirt
It's in a dust pink fabric with a muted floral print
I love it, it's flared just as I like, it's elasticated on the waist which makes it comfy to wear
and I like to pair it with a slim fit shirt and a cardi
and it's super springy and comfy
and if I'm not wrong it has pockets
yes it does as it's something I always look for in a skirt
because I never know where to keep my phone which is always glued to my hand
and these where my 2 favourite clothes from April
now let's move to the make up because I have a lovely product to share with you
Here we are in the make up section, as I said at the beginning of the video
in April I didn't buy many new things
but I did buy a new item as I've been trying to get it for weeks
but it was always sold out
and in April I finally managed to get my hands on it and it's Anastasia Beverly Hill Modern Renaissance palette
I bought it on Beauty Bay because it was the only web site I could find it on
Shall we talk about the packaging? Isn't it lovely?
it's velvety and you must be carefull because it may get dirty easily
I just noticed a foundation stain which certifies that I've been actually using it a lot
and on the inside...
it has some breathtaking eyeshadows
the shades are totally up my alley, simply perfect for me and all in one single palette
it's quite expensive, but you get 14 amazing and high quality shades
as usual I won't state any price because I have the worst memory ever
but I'll link this item and all the other ones on my blog so that you'll be able to get more infos and buy them too if you wish
coming back to this palette
as you can see there are many burgundy/orange/golden shades, some are matte and other are shimmery
I did my make up today using this palette, I'll get nearer so that maybe you can get an idea
I could talk about it for hours because I'm obsessed
the pigmentation is excellent, which is always good, but they are also easy to blend in
they are perfect both to create natural and more intense looks
as I said I've been loving it and I've been using it on a daily base
Is there anything more to say? I don't think so, I'll just add that it's the item I love the most among all of my favourites
Now we can move to the next section which is going to be skincare.
There are 2 skincare products that I've been loving in April
one was featured in my beauty haul
and the other one has never been featured as I only started to use it recently inspite of the fact that I bought it
a few months ago.
Let's start with the first product which is Fresh Vitam Nectar Vibrancy Boosting face mask
it's a very interesting product because it's made with nectarines
and it makes the skin look more vibrant and even
but the most interesting thing is the texture as it looks like a fruit jam
you apply it on your face,
you leave it on for 10 minutes
and then you rinse it off with warm water
and it can be used two or three times a week
Now I have it on my finger and I don't know what to do with it, let me close the jar first
Anyway I love to use this mask because it feels like a treat, the fragrance is amazing, it's nice on the skin
and it evens out and boosts the skin vibrancy which is always nice.
so I highly recommend it if you'll travel to London or to the U.S. where you can easily buy it in Sephora
The second skincare product I loved is a Jo Malone Scrub
Jo Malone is a high end brand that I trurly love
it's fairly new as I think it was released at the end of last year
I bought it in December, but I only started to use it recently because I keep buying things
before I finished the ones I already own and it make take a while before I use them
In April I finally tried this out and I loved it
The fragrance it's interesting as it's geranium and walnuts
and I do believe the grains inside are actually walnuts
what sells me the most in a scrub is the grains because if it's too exfoliating
it irritates the skin, while if it's too subtle it's not effective enough
this one has the perfect texture...as usual there are cars passing by and I get distracted
It has the perfect texture, it leaves the skin silky smooth, I use the scrub at least once a week in the shower
because it's important to get rid of the dead skin to boost its natural vibrance
so if you don't do that I suggest you to try
if you don't want to splurge with this Jo Malone one you can find many other lovely and cheaper ones on the market
but the Jo Malone was my favourite so I wanted to share it with you
Now let's move to the random section because I have three very random things to share
Welcome to the random section
as I said I have 3 things to share and they are very different one from the other
the first one ...dadadadada...is this pillow with a black cats print
I don't know if you remember but lately I've been obsessed with foxes and cats
and this is a consequence of that, look how nice it looks in the shot too
I got it in Ikea, I apologize if I screamed, I got too excited
I got in in Ikea recently
I didn't really need a new pillow because I have plenty of them
as pillows are another obsession of mine, but I couldn't resist as it costed less than 5 euro if I remember correctly
I love the shape and the cute cats print and usually
I have it sitting on this chair when I'm not using it
You can buy it in Ikea, so if you're looking for a cute pillow for your bedroom or living room look no further
and this was my first random favourite
my second random favourite is an app
so let me grab my phone
called Calm, I'm opening it know
can you hear it?
it's an app that helps you meditate
it's free, but if you wish to implement it you have to pay something
You can choose a background sound, I went for rain, but there are other ones available
and then there's a voice that guides you through the meditation
and the meditation cycles usually last one week
I discovered this last year and I recently got back to using it and it helps me reduce the stress level
and I recommend it, I'll link it on my blog in case you should want to download it
It's called Calm, a very appropriate name
and the last random favourite is an accessory
and more precisely it's one of the accessories that I make, if you're new on this channel
you may not know it, but I do make some accessories getting the inspiration from everything I like
it can be everything, but to be honest one of my main inspirations is Frida kahlo
because I'm litterally obsessed with her
Among my latest creations there's this necklace which part of a set
I love the shape and the charms I chose, even if I shouldn't praise myself
but I do like it a lot and it's just perfect for me
and I'm showing it mostly as an excuse to invite you check my blog
as every wednesday I share my new creations of the week
so check it out, you can find the link in the downbar
and check my Facebook page too, link down below, because the next day I upload my accessories there too
and in any moment you can check the photo section of my Facebook page, click on Albums
and find all the available accessories divided per type
and if you should like something you'll just have to send me a private message
and I'll explain you everything
ok, those were my random favourites
there's one more section that always ends my favourites videos
and it's books
Inspite of the fact that at the beginning of the video I said I didn't have that many favourites
I've already been chatting for half an hour, congrats for my ability to sinthesize
anyway we managed to reach the last section, the books one
and I have here the book I'd like to recommend this month, which is
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children...gosh I can never pronounce that word
Tim Burton recently directed a movie based on this novel
but I didn't manage to watch it even if I really wanted to because I love Tim Burton
but when I was in the U.K. I noticed the book and I decided to get it following my tradition
as everytime I visit an english speaking country I always buy a book to practice my reading skills
and the last time I bought this one and I really loved it.
and only when I finished it I found out that luckily it's part of a trilogy
so I will soon buy the other 2 and I think I'll get them in english to continue the read in the same language I started it
how can I describe this novel? If you watched the movie you already know the plot, but if you haven't
I would describe it as a mix between Harry Potter and Steven King or Edgar Allan Poe
as it mixes magics and dark/gloomy vibes and I love this combination
it's the story of a teenager from Florida who has a strong bond with his grandfather
who has been telling him magic and weird stories for all the main character's childhood
and while growing, the main character, who in the book is 16 years old, stops believing in those stories
and treat them as mere tales
but then the grandfather suddently dies and many weird things happen from that moment on
but I don't want to spoiler too much neither the book nor the movie
Anyway you'll be glued to the book and what makes this novel even more special are the pictures you'll find inside
photos that refer to the characters in the book
In case you missed this pearl the author is Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar children
I recommend it as I loved it a whole lot
Ok, enough with the chats as we reached the end of another favourites video
and as always it has been a very long one, because I never manage to be more concise
Anyway I hope that you found my suggestions interesting
if so give this video a thumbs up so that I will know it
and if you haven't yet subscribe to my channel in order not to miss any new video
I upload new ones every monday and friday, so do it now
and as all youtubers say click on the bell icon too to receive a notification each time I upload a new video
that's it, I remind you once again that on my blog you'll find the links of all the products mentioned
and check my blog also to see all my accessories
Ok, that's really it now, I send you a big kiss and I'll see you in my next one, ciao!

Matt Kelly What's Next in Compliance Episode 2 | Expert Advice | Compliance Next - Duration: 5:58.
Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of "What's Next in Compliance" with me,
Matt Kelley.
Today, we're going to talk about the future of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Enforcement of the FCPA is probably one of the largest worries that corporate compliance
officers have, and given the results of the election last November, compliance officers
are allowed to feel some anxiety and uncertainty about how changes in FCPA enforcement might happen.
First, we have to remember that there are two different ways the FCPA could theoretically
be changed.
It could be changed at the legislative level.
I'd like to knock that down first.
We are not going to see Congress repeal the FCPA.
We are not going to see them change the language of the FCPA - that is a time-consuming and
politically awkward process to weaken anti-corruption laws.
There's no real need for it.
They have plenty to do.
So that really is not the ball that compliance officers need to keep their eye on.
What is more important to look at is changes in the executive branch.
How are the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission going to enforce the
FCPA from here forward?
They will have a lot of discretion and how they may or may not enforce these crimes.
So we need to keep a couple of ideas in mind.
Broadly speaking, what will we see?
I believe that we're going to see a whole lot more carrot to encourage cooperation and
a whole lot less stick to beat companies over the head with large fines and onerous consent
decrees and compliance monitors.
It really, it is going to be all about how can companies demonstrate cooperation, participate
and cooperate with enforcement agencies, and therefore win more credit from these agencies
for having a good effort.
Having a good effort is code for having an effective FCPA compliance program.
Really, what we need to keep in mind is that this change is only going to make the importance
of having a well-run, well-oiled compliance machine go up.
So this gets us to the big key question here - What does cooperation with the Justice Department
actually mean?
We can first look back to the FCPA pilot program that started one year ago in early 2016.
The goal there was to encourage companies to cooperate.
If they did, they would win breaks on potential fines and penalties, a deferred prosecution
agreements might get down-scaled to non-prosecution agreements, and the like.
I believe we're going to see more of the spirit of that pilot program continue, and it all
hinges on having good cooperation.
Look to the pilot program for what cooperation means.
It means when you have an issue, you self-disclose it.
It means that when the Justice Department comes and says, "We want you to investigate
this," you have an investigative ability to be able to find the facts.
You can turn over all the facts that you have, all the facts that they ask for.
This gets to a secondary concern that we'll have, which is the future of the Yates Memo.
Now, the Yates Memo came about in 2015 where the Justice Department said that to win any
cooperation credit at all, you had to turn over all evidence that might implicate the
perpetrators of an FCPA crime in your organization.
I don't think that's going to go away.
That's going to be prosecutorial discretion.
They want to keep that.
They want to be able to lean on companies to say, "We want to find the actual perpetrators.
You're going to have to work hard to help us get there."
Now, again, this works in a compliance officer's favor.
If there's a perpetrator who is violating the law in your organization, you want to
know.
You want to find out who that person is.
You want to get rid of that person.
So there isn't actually anything wrong with the spirit of the Yates Memo there.
Now, if you can fulfill the spirit of the Yates Memo - and as a bonus it shows that
you have an effective compliance program and you are cooperating with the Justice Department
- and then you get less fines.
You get maybe no fines.
You get a declination to prosecute, everybody wins - including the compliance officer who
goes to the board and the CEO to say that we have resolved this issue.
You know, the more you talk about it, the more you see that, really, the penalties may
go down in favor of rewards, but again, you're going to need an effective compliance program
- either to avoid penalty or get rewards.
It doesn't matter to you, the compliance officer, the bottom line, the foundation is that effective
compliance program.
That's here to stay.
And, lastly, we should note that for all of our talk about the FCPA, we have not mentioned
the rest of the world - which is a big thing and it has stepped up its enforcement of anti-bribery
laws quite a bit.
Even if we were to do something drastic such as let FCPA enforcement lapse entirely - which
I do not expect at all.
Even if that happened, the rest of the world still has the Bribery Act in the UK, the Clean
Companies Act in Brazil.
We have anti-corruption laws now being enforced more vigorously in countries from Canada to
the Netherlands to other places in the European Union.
That spirit of anti-corruption is only going to get bigger and better around the world.
As we've said before, when you look into the future, paint a picture where people are pro-corruption.
That's not going to happen.
The demand for better corporate compliance is going to be solid and steady.
It is definitely going to be very relevant to the FCPA enforcement and we are going to
continue to see a strong need for this for quite a while - no matter who is in charge
in Washington.
So that's all for this episode of What's Next in Compliance.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Matt Kelly and I hope you'll join us again next time.
