Waching daily Jan 2 2017

Sir, why are you winking at me?

You winked at me first, Priyanka.

God!

I am not winking at you.

My eye is twitching.

Your eye is twitching.

That means something bad is going to happen.

God!

What bad thing is going to happen, sir?

I don't know, Priyanka. Eyes only give you a warning, not information.

Why are you winking at my husband?

I..

No, baby. Her eye is twitching.

Something bad is going to happen.

Good excuse, to flirt around. To fool me.

It is not very hard to fool you.

What is wrong with you now?

I suddenly had a headache.

Don't worry. Don't worry, Priyanka.

I will go and get medicines and water for you.

Why will you? - Then you get it.

Me? Get water and medicine for her?

My foot!

She makes new excuses every day to escape work.

Lazy bum.

Madam, don't falsely accuse me, I'm warning you.

I swear, I am telling the truth.

I am feeling very strange.

I think she is really unwell.

I will go and get medicines and water. Sit.

Goodness!

Who is this?

Madam, enough footage.

Both your hair and your baby frock have blown.

Why don't you blow away too?

Decent people live in this house.

This is not a fashion show ramp.

FYI.

For your kind information, this is not a frock.

It's a dress. But who the hell are you?

Who the heaven are you?

You have come to the wrong address. Don't waste my time.

Is there no one at home?

Don't you see this 5.5 feet hot, sexy personality..

..standing like Deepika Padukone in front of you?

Do you have problem in your eyes?

God! Who are you?

Priyanka. I am the best maid.

They can make a movie on me.

Well, I have introduced myself. Now your turn.

Tia?

Brother-in-law!

Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!

Tia, what a surprise.

Nice surprise, right?

Yes, Tia. Very pleasant surprise.

Sir, is this your sister-in-law?

Yes, this is Tia. My sister-in-law.

That means your half wife.

What, Tia? You..

Sir, stop blushing. Your real wife is here.

Tia. When did you come?

Sister.

I missed you so much that I came to surprise you.

God! I am in a shock.

I missed you so much, Tia.

Happy to see you here, my baby.

You can rejoice now, madam.

She is going to make you dance later.

By the way, sister, don't you think your maid..

..is smarter than required?

No, Tia.

I fact, she has made Sandhya smarter.

Sir, only you value me in this house.

By the way what does your sister-in-law do..

..besides wearing short clothes?

Tia is an air-hostess.

Do you know what an air hostess is? Air beauty.

I know what an air hostess is.

Even my brother is a janitor at the airport.

By the way she looks like a she-monkey to me.

What? Did you say something?

I was just saying that in the salary I get, I can only..

..work for madam and sir.

I will charge extra if I have to work for you too.

What? Sister, what the hell is she talking about?

You have spoilt her a lot.

Madam! What are you whispering to your sister?

Just say everything clearly. - What do you mean?

Do you think I am scared of you?

Anyway, maids should know their status.

You want me to show me my status.

You.. - Sister.

Priyanka, why are you scaring my sister?

Priyanka, what are you doing?

Sir, tell her not to mess with me.

Otherwise, there will be a problem.

Priyanka, you are smart. She is still a kid.

Kid!

Will she be a kid because she is wearing a baby frock?

Will you also become a kid if you wear kid's clothes?

This is not a frock. It's a dress.

Shut up, Tia. It's no use messing with her.

Madam, you have understood.

You took time, but you have learnt it.

Now make your sister learn it too.

Sister, what is she saying?

I say everything frankly.

Priyanka, take Tia's suitcase..

..to the guestroom instead of arguing.

Why should I? That's your problem.

Didn't she get her suitcase till here from the airport?

I came in a taxi.

I know. You didn't fly in.

But tell me, which maid was there at the airport..

..to carry your luggage?

Leave it, Tia. I will take your suitcase. Come on.

Brother-in-law, you are so sweet.

Sir, leave it. I was joking.

Just joking. Duty is duty.

Don't take advantage of my sweet sir.

Got it?

Sister, she really talks too much.

Ignore her. Let's go. - Let's go.

Tia, take her.

My boss is very innocent.

His sister-in-law is making him dance to her tunes.

But Tia..

I have tested you too.

You are now going to face Priyanka.

I am the best maid. Beware because I am there.

Why don't we meet on Christmas? -Greenlight Briefing Ep.14 - Duration: 3:00.

What the heck should I do in Christmas?

Oh, yeah..

Why don't we meet on Christmas?

Pardon?

Greenlight Briefing Ep.14: Why don't we meet on Christmas?

Can you all hear Greenlight Carol?

Christmas!

A once-a-year-day for all of the couples in the world!

And "She" wants to spend Christmas ONLY with you?

Mr. Santa Claus also guarantees that

THIS IS GREENLIGHT SITUATION!

Solo FRIENDS meeting on Red day is GREENLIGHT?

It's not Joseon Dynasty!

So don't fall for it!

Cuz unlike men, women think

"Girl+Friend doesn't equal to girlfriend!"

According to this survey on the real definitions of "boy&girl+friends",

About 28% of men think any girls they've been working out = "girl+friends".

32% of women think any boys with touching barriers ="boy+friends".

So, if applying this survey result into this situation,

she won't wear & eat like that if she's really into you!

Hmm..men and women can be FRIENDS?

Although you two seem to hide your relationship

with nonsense title, "FRIENDS"

But, please be above-board with your true feelings.

Think about your "EX".

Weren't you all friends in the beginning?

Don't draw a line with such nonsense title, "FRIENDS"!

Christmas will be your only and last chance

to become HER REAL BOYFRIEND!

If you just play like a fool, imagining such nonsense,

A 10-YEAR-LONG FRIENDSHIP with her will be broken!!

And all of your friends will make fun of you forever.

And you won't ever go to reunion at all!

If you think she's not into you, don't waste your money

on the day selling things at the highest price!

Hey! Why should I play with you on Christmas?

Hey!! Speak it right.

I'm playing with you, not you playing with me.

Just say "Thank you!"

Aren't you going to play overwatch in PC room anyways?

Hey! Overwatch can't be compared to anything else.

What's more, a new skin came out, a Christmas edition!!

It's just..Whoa!

Shush!!! Eh..you look like a real dweeb!

A...C

Christmas is a "family gathering day", no?

Family is originated from couples!

Won't you watch Harry Potter again in this Christmas?

Be careful! In that way, you'll be a real witch!!

February, 2017! Green Light Briefing Season 2 will begin again!

Encouragement for the New Year - Duration: 3:55.

Hello, this is Larissa here with some encouragement for 2017.

You maybe wondering why I put my camera as black-and-white.

Well, I will tell you why: First of all, I just like the black-and-white filter on it.

The other thing is I wanted to make a point.

I want to talk about being black and white.

I want to talk about being single minded and decisive.

I just want to give some encouragement for this new year if you have some desires in

your heart that God has placed within you feel free to go for it.

Be decisive with it be single minded with it.

I will just give an illustration: have you ever imagined with if you travel 10 miles

one way and then travel 10 miles in the other direction it's not really going to work too

well.

And basically, you canceled your self out there.

Same way with goals if you start pursuing something but you're just not decided about

it and you kind of go the other way and stop, you're not really going to get anywhere.

I just want to encourage with practical goalsetting is get around people that are passionate about

the things that you want to move in.

it's a lot easier to stay in the grain of that.

For example, I am writing a book.

I have been writing it since November.

It's titled, "Aha: A Revelational Miracle Devotional."

I have a friend that's a writer, we often talk and we just stay revved up and encouraged

in our writing.

Especially if you had writers block, you need to be free to be creative and free make mistakes.

And have fun in the process.

That's really the most important thing is just pursuing fun in the process.

Because if you're not, other people are likely not to enjoy very well, honestly.

Because that pleasure or that displeasure will flow through it because it comes from

out of your heart.

If you enjoy what you do, just go for it.

Another thing is follow your gut. God has given you and in built the discerner

have you ever had a gut feeling about something you shouldn't do and then you do it anyway

because it doesn't make logical sense?

Well, then you find out your gut feeling was right.

So, that's just an encouragement to realize what God has placed within you.

He has placed a discernment within you, He has placed passion and desire

within you to discern when something is according to His heart.

If you notice something is very life-giving it makes you lighter and Freer and just

experiencing the presence of the Lord the pleasure of God

or just enjoy your life in general it's just pure go for it.

You don't have wait to have God specifically tell you to do it.

That's stupid to procrastinate a life.

I'll say I've done that before. I have procrastinated a good chunk of my year away one year

I am not going to do that, I am going to pursue these things I am not going to be double minded

about it I am just going to go for it I am

going to be connected to people that are moving in that area as well.

If you want to get encouraged in let's say the area of healing or you want to see more in that

I'd say get connected to my friends Dave and Patty Lage.

Last fall and this winter too I interned with them for four months, I just really got a

lot of experience traveling around the United States meeting all sorts of

hospitable families and people just seeing healing on a daily basis.

It's normal.

It's part of living is a Christian because we are created in His image and likeness,

just bringing restoration to people.

For another thing is, for example, if you want to improve in the area of baking find

someone that is really good at it.

For example, my mom has made some awesome chocolate cake.

So if you need to learn how to chocolate cake and not burn it or make them dry get connected

with my mom.

My most anticipated books of 2017 [English cations inclued] | shimin's book obsession - Duration: 5:31.

Happy new year!

I am Shimin.

This is my first video of 2017.

Today I'm doing the most anticipated books of 2017.

The first book is Wires and Nerves by Marissa Meyer.

Marissa Meyer is my absolute favorite author.

And all of her books are my most favorites.

and my favorite series is The Lunar Chronicles

Wires and Nerve is created from the character Iko of The Lunar Chronicles.

This is an illustrated book

and it will have illustrations of Iko and all other Lunar Chronicles character's

I cannot wait to read this book

My most favorite book of *2016 was Heartless by Marissa Meyer.

Actually I can't speak anything without fangirling Marissa Meyer!

Marissa Meyer is my most favorite author

I love everything she writes

and I can't wait for a book about Iko

Second book is Windwitch

It's the second installment of The Witchlands Series.

First one was Truthwitch.

It's written on a magic system

We mainly saw some first book in the first book

A truthwitch, a bloodwitch, a threadwitch and a windwitch.

as the name suggests, the first book was about a truthwitch

The second book might have the main character windwitch.

I'll tell you a bit without spoiling anything

This book is on a witchery system

All the witches have a special talent

Truthwitch will know if someone lies in front of her.

same as windwitch

windwitch can harness the wind

He can do anything with wind

Truthwitch was a great book

I'm expecting windwitch to be a good one too.

The third book is Carve The Mark by Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth wrote Divergent

I liked Divergent very much

And Carve The Mark is a Sci-fi

and sci-fi is one of my most favorite genres.

Carve the mark is also about a magic system

In this book some people have been kept prisoners in a kingdm

where their magics have been taken from them

I haven't read much because I want to read something on totally new conception

That's why I haven't read any spoilers

However, Veronica Roth has a great writing style

Obviously you should read Divergent if you haven't read it already

I liked the writing style, characters and plot of Divergent

Although it didn't have a happy ending

but I'm expecting a happy ending in the next book

The fourth book is the second one of The Trials of Apollo

I liked The trials of Apollo most among the books I read in 2016

It's written by Rick Riordan

He wrote the Percy Jackson series

Then the Heroes of Olympus series

and now continuing The Trials of Apollo series

These are very fun books

and this is one of my most loved series

I think I love Percy Jackson series after the Lunar Chronicles

And the second book of *the trials of Apollo is coming this year!

and the fifth book

which is my most anticipated book

that is, Because You Love to Hate Me

it's written from the point of view of villains

It will have thirteen stories

which will be written on classic fairy tale villains

and the best part is

it's written by thirteen writers along with booktubers

I just can't wait for it!

and the books from the POV of villains are always interesting

I talked about Heartless, that is also from the POV of a villain

and the best thing is Because You Love to Hate me will also have Marissa Meyer

and just look at the cover

you can tell by the cover that it's going to be incredible

Okay, this was my most anticipated books of 2017

Give it a thumbs up if you liked it

and subscribe if you want to watch another video next week

Bye!

Filling Bezels With Polymer Clay Tutorial (Intro Vol-034-2) - Duration: 2:47.

Hi Guys its Cindy Lietz, your Polymer Clay Tutor, and today I'm gonna teach you how to

fill bezels with Polymer Clay.

Now bezels come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, I've got a whole bin here.

Most of these are from Terry Morris at EpoxyJewelry.com, and there is just unlimited variety of bezels

that you can fill with Polymer Clay.

Now, I've got a few examples here of what I've made with some of the bezels.

I've got some from a previous tutorial where I've used some Rose Petal Clay inside a little

Copper bezel here.

I've got another one with the Rose Petal Clay in a Silver bezel, and a square Black Enameled

Bezel.

I've got an example of a Cane Slice, this is a little Spider cane, and it's inside of

a Silver Plated bezel and it has some UV Resin on the top of it, which makes it really pretty.

This is another cane slice, this is from the shaded rose cane in Volume 32 and this also

has a UV Resin on the top.

Here is another pendant where I put some of the Faux Knit Technique on the inside, and

this doesn't have Resin on the top, so that you can feel and see the texture really well.

Here's another example of a pendant and this one is in kind of a raised form and this has

a section of the Aurora technique in it, and that's from Volume 33, and it has kind of

a stone look to it.

I've also got some examples of some bezels that were from a previous tutorial, and these

are the Katiedids Bezels, and they have a special hole inside of them, and you have…here's

another one here that's used as a pendant, and the pin goes right through the whole bezel

itself, there's also one made into a ring here.

And then another type of bezel that you can actually make yourself, this is a spoon bezel

that we learned to how to make these into bales in Volume 22.

So there is just absolutely tons of varieties and techniques that you can do with bezels,

so it's something that you definitely need to know how to do

Essential Films: Apocalypse Now (1979) - Duration: 7:26.

To be completely honest, Apocalypse Now

is not a film that I'm particularly keen

on talking about, not because it's bad or

anything. On the contrary, Apocalypse Now

is a movie that is so good that no words can

fully describe how good it is. It's

something that has to be experienced

firsthand. In fact, it's so good that I

would probably place it among the ten

best films I've ever seen.

Granted, I only first saw it a few years

ago, so, as I was getting ready to discuss

this one, I was wondering if perhaps the

film's critically acclaimed status

influenced my original impression of it.

But no, upon rewatching it, it is every bit

as great as I remember it. For those who

aren't familiar,

this is a film about the Vietnam War, but

it is important not because of what it

says about Vietnam, but rather because of

what it says about war in general.

Over the course of the film's long and

troubled production history, director

Francis Ford Coppola attempted to place

within the film everything that he

believed could be said about the war, and

as a result, one discovers upon watching

it the complex range of ideas presented,

even further complicated by the many

different interpretations different

critics have offered on the film. Here I

want to present some of the various

ideas explored in the film and for the sake

of both newcomers and returning fans, to

provide a coherent picture of what the film

ultimately says about war, evil, and human

nature. The best starting point for

interpreting Apocalypse Now is to

consider its inspirations: the film has

literary origins in Joseph Conrad's 1899

novel "Heart of Darkness", which follows

a steamboat captain as he heads down

the Congo into the heart of Africa

searching for a manager named Kurtz.

Apocalypse Now borrows the basic structure

and plot of Conrad's novella, but

transports the captain's journey into a

river in Vietnam during the war, but

instead of seeking to do business with

Kurtz, he is instead under orders from

the government to assassinate him.

However, film critic German E. Vargas

discusses the issue of regarding

Apocalypse Now as an adaptation.

What Vargas

is saying here is that Apocalypse Now is

essentially an amalgamation of different

cultural sources.

Aside from the novella, the film

incorporates anecdotes from Michael

Herr's memoir "Dispatches" and stylistic

elements from the German film "Aguirre,

the Wrath of God", which also follows a

group of men traveling down a river and

moving closer and closer to madness. But

although it cannot be considered an

adaptation, "Heart of Darkness" remains

crucial to addressing the film's

political statements and the way that it

deals with its mysterious central figure

Kurtz. Within "Heart of Darkness",

Kurtz stood as an emblem of British

imperialism, containing within him all of

the goods and evils of the "white man's

burden" model of thinking, and if you're

unfamiliar with all of that stuff, then,

well, unfortunately, that's a topic for me

to explain on another day. In Apocalypse

Now, though Kurtz can be seen as a

representation of a similar American

ideology: that of foreign interventionism.

Some have criticized the fact that none

of the Vietnamese characters have

speaking roles within the film, when in

fact, the Vietnamese are portrayed as

silent because of the film's psychological

nature: here they are projection

constructed from the country's

collective memories of the war,

suggesting that perhaps the war was

mistake because it was more about us

than it was about them. But as I've said

before, the film is not just about the

Vietnam War:

it's about war in general, and if you

look further into it, the human psyche as well.

Francis Ford Coppola's wife even

described the film as "a metaphor for the

journey into the self." I know I've used

Roger Ebert quotes a lot in the past but

here I really think that he gets to the

bottom of the central idea of the entire film:

In this film, Kurtz begins as a noble man, an ideal man, even,

but once he's exposed to the horrors of

war, his philosophies turn against him.

What he realizes is that

war may be fought over ideologies, but

ultimately wars are decided not by the

strength of the ideology, but by the

brute force of those involved, and that

to be successful in war, one must abandon

moral judgment and embrace the primitive

instinct to kill without mercy.

"You have to have men... who are moral... and at

the same time, who are able to... utilize their

primordial instincts to kill without

feeling, without passion, without judgment.

Without judgment, because it's judgment

that defeats us." Hence, in the thick of

battle, despite the emphasis that we

Americans place on principles, ideology

becomes irrelevant and the issue becomes

one of killing or being killed. This

instinct lies buried within all of us,

but most of us have not been forced into

situations where this instinct must surface.

In confronting Kurtz, the film's protagonist

Captain Wheeler confronts that instinct

within himself and rejects it. Kurtz is

painted out as alluring and desirable,

but there is no deception. Instead, Kurtz

is presented as a brutal and

uncomfortable truth of man's innately

vicious nature, a nature that we must

all try to fight. "Because there's a

conflict in every human heart... between

the rational and irrational, between good and evil,

and good does not always triumph. Every man has

got a breaking point.

You and I have one. Well, Kurtz has reached his."

It's easy to see apocalypse now as an

anti-war film, but many critics have also

interpreted it as a pro-war film. For me,

it's a bit of both: war, as described by

the film, is evil because it turns men

into animals. And yet, at the same time, it's

sometimes a necessary evil.

Hence, the film withdraws from any

particular political stance, instead

choosing to simply observe and describe

the past as best it can. But beyond the

profound themes the film contains, the

film's true greatness relies in how it's

constructed as an experience for the

viewer: which, referring back to the

beginning of the review, is something

that can only be understood by watching

it. At the film's close, we have gone

through the jaws of hell, and we have

confronted the heart of darkness at the

climax of the film's narrative, but we

ultimately emerged victorious. Yet like

returning from war,

it is a victory that comes with a price.

The lesson that we have learned about

ourselves and the world we live in

will haunt us, and the things that we've

seen cannot be unseen; the things that we

have done cannot be undone.
