Have you ever been "shocked" when you touched an electrical home appliance such as fridge,
TV, Oven?
Ouch!
Well, then you already know something about the effects of electricity.
You know what happened?
And why?
Because, your devise properly not connected to the earthing.

Firstly we see Importunacy of Earthing.
Earthing provides the safety of the personnel from the electric shock.
It insures that the non currents carrying parts, such as equipment frames are always
safe at ground potential even though the insulation fails.
Earthing is essential for the safety of the equipment and personnel against lightning
and voltage surges, providing the discharge path for surge arrestors, gaps, and other
similar devices.
It provides the ground connections for the ground neutral system.
It provides a means of positively discharging and de-energizing feeders or equipment before
proceeding with maintenance on them.
More information about the earthing system.
so, please visit our web site www.learningengnr.com We already seen the Importunacy of Earthing.
And now will see what is earthing?
how do work earthing system?
In electrical engineering, grounding or earthing is the reference point in an electrical circuit
from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct
physical connection to the Earth.
The method of connecting non current carrying parts of the electrical equipment or the neutral
point of the supply system to the earth through the wire having negligible resistance is called
electrical earthing.
Earthing protects the electrical equipment from lightning strokes and earth fault conditions.
It provides the easiest path to the fault or leakage current to flow through it.
Earthing can be done by electrically connecting the respective parts in the installation to
some system of electrical conductors or electrodes placed near the soil or below the ground level.
Your home electrical system not provide earthing connection.
incase your device connect to the live.
when you touched an electrical home appliance such as fridge metallic body . you get shock.
because the fault occurs the fault current from the equipment flows through your body
to ground.
on the other hand When your home electrical system provide a proper earthing connection
the fault occurs the fault current from the equipment flows through the earthing system
to the earth and thereby protect the equipment from the fault current.
you not get shock, and you safe.

I will instal it but first I'm going to degrease the disc
Who knows what oils are on it.
After I've been riding without brakes...i don't know maybe 2 weeks or less
and
I'm going to ride with a brake, because my shoes are not еternal
Never ride shimano saints with taken to the end pins....
without shoes
So and so I started washing, why not wash the whole bike
We are gonna wait to dry a little and put oil on the chain
But in this time we are going to install the brake
Тhis is another thing
We are going to put zip ties and we are ready
The thing that I hate so much after I wash my bike are these spots
that appear
But you get a microfiber cloth
and hope to get off
Yes, they get off
We are going to clean the whole bike

The Lengths We Go to for Beauty - Duration: 6:29.
I'm pretty.. "chilled out" when it comes to my appearance.
I don't mean that I don't care about how I look but I want to be comfortable at the same
time.
That's why it kind of perplexes me to think about the lengths that some people go to for
beauty.
You got people waxing their legs...spending 2 hours a day putting on makeup.. wearing
high heels and other uncomfortable clothing…
But to most people who do these things they aren't that bad - it's worth a little bit
of pain and discomfort to look the way they want to and feel good about themselves.
And while that's kind of interesting to think about on its own what really caught
my interest was looking into examples of how "suffering for the sake of beauty" is
taken to the extreme.
Up until the 20th century in China, women with small feet were considered beautiful
and desirable so many girls usually around the age of 5 had their feet broken and bound
to ensure they would marry into a rich family.
In some indigenous African tribes, lip plates are considered for women to be a symbol of
beauty, and for men a symbol of power and status.
And in the victorian era in the UK, women would wear extremely tight corsets to appear
thinner, and used dangerous ingredients like tar and lead as makeup.
There are so many examples across history of how humans have purposefully injured and
even disabled themselves to achieve beauty or status.
Suffering as a representation of power is fairly easy to understand.
You have suffered through pain and survived it - so you are a strong person.
But why would we want to physically harm or handicap ourselves for "beauty" ? shouldn't
it make it more difficult to find a "mate" if you look unhealthy or can't move properly?
Well unlike most animals, humans are not fighting for survival - we don't need to look for
a partner who can run away quickly or camouflage themselves into the environment or fight off
predators.
So it's not as much of a handicap for a human to lose the ability to walk as it would
be for a tiger living in the wild, for example.
Since we don't need to look for survival capabilities we can look for other, more useful
traits in a partner such as wealth.
Foot binding for example was originally practiced among upper class women and so it was possibly
an indicator that a woman was rich, for example.
But why such a painful and harmful procedure?
Why not just assume their wealth based on how expensive the clothing they wear is, for
example?
The most common story for its origin goes like this:
The emperor Li Yu sees a dancer who's bound her feet into the shape of a crescent moon
and he's like
"wow, that's pretty hot.
Don't you think so guys?"
"yeah dude, i want a wife with feet like that"
It's thought that the practice began in the 10th century so it's exact origin is
not 100% clear, but it's speculated that it was initially enforced by men to keep women
dependent on them - as they couldn't travel far or move easily in some cases.
But as it was passed around that rich men like the emperor prefered women with bound
feet, even lower class women began binding as they felt that they had to in order to
marry into wealth.
Mothers would do it to their daughters because they thought that it would be the best for
them, and it eventually became a tradition.
Eventually everyone was doing it because it was the standard of beauty, women with unbound,
natural feet were considered "ugly".
Whether or not the procedure was enforced by men, it was done as a way to appeal to
them and ensure a woman would marry.
Which is a common theme throughout the majority of examples of suffering for beauty.
However as a society we have evolved out of these painful beauty traditions.
It's no longer so important to attract a partner because men and women can now both
live comfortably without one.
Now that it's not a requirement to have a partner we can take our time with it and
be more selective based on our personal preferences.
So why do some people still go through pain and discomfort to achieve beauty standards
if they are no longer a requirement?
And why do we still have beauty standards at all if other qualities are more useful
for progressing as a society?
Lets answer the second question first since it's a little bit less complicated.
Beauty is subjective - different people find different things beautiful or attractive depending
on their personal preferences.
Studies suggest that these personal preferences are most likely influenced by your surroundings
and personal experiences as you grow up so theoretically being surrounded by media portraying
a certain "look" as beautiful is maybe why a lot of people are attracted to this
image - but not everyone.
But why are these specific looks pushed as being the ideal?
If you look at the people around you finding people who actually look like the "ideal"
is pretty difficult - particularly when you consider qualities that people can't change
about themselves - why do we promote an image that is unobtainable for a lot of people?
Well the answer is...probably because of money.
I mean...it kinda makes sense?
By promoting an ideal image that is ultimately unattainable for most people, companies can
sell their products with the idea that if you keep buying from them you can look like
that.
Except you can't.
But again if attracting a husband or wife is not a requirement anymore then why do people
care so much about what they look like?
Well romantic relationships are still considered extremely important to a lot of people.
Not having a partner or never having one is typically looked down upon by society, likely
because of the importance of relationships in our society and not being interested
or particularly active in seeking romantic relationships is seen as unusual.
Some even go as far as to judge it as a failure, as if if you don't have a partner you are
an unsuccessful person.
As a result people, particularly teenagers, feel pressured to find a partner and therefore
strive to look like the "ideal" man or woman in order to get one.
If you're someone who feels like they have to look a certain way to find a relationship
- remember that beauty is subjective.
This is not the "standard" - nobody expects you to look this way and you can achieve a
perfectly happy and successful life without it.
Heck you are probably actually more happy if you don't look like this, it's crazy
how much time and money some people spend on their image - it must be super stressful.
..when did this turn into a video about promoting a positive self image?
Anyway - all I want to say is you don't have to suffer to achieve beauty, unless you
actually enjoy it.
That's a thing too.
I'm not condemning the use of cosmetics, or getting fit or anything like that if it
makes you happy.
I'm just saying that you don't need to go out of your way to please people you don't
even know.

When I Was On The Howard Stern Show - Duration: 10:03.
In 2004, I appeared as a guest on Howard Stern's
radio and television show and to this day
people are asking all sorts of questions about it. How did you get there?
What were you doing there? What did you
use a different name on the show? Well, now I have the
opportunity to tell you about it, and so I'm going to.
So I'm a huge Howard Stern fan. A giant
one. And I used to listen to it every morning. I loved it.
Howard used to play all sorts of different sounds and things
and they used to play a sound of a woman called Taylor
Rain from an old adult film that she did called "Weapons
of Ass Destruction". And she just made this "oh yeah"
sound and I always thought it was very funny and so I kept searching the internet
Googling and stuff to see if I could find it and I never could.
But I found another woman by the name of Aurora Snow.
And she had a film called Gag Factor 5.
So I checked that out and
sure enough it was just this woman making these
funny, just strange noises. And I had a friend of mine come over
and watch this and I said, "Is this what I think it is?" And he said,
"It absolutely is." I said, "Holy mackerel."
And then I started to show it to all my friends. I showed it to Ben, everybody.
I was like, "You've got to hear this funny sound." And so Ben and I were
hanging out one day and I said, "You know what?
I think I need to get this to Howard Stern. He's got to hear this noise.
It's so flipping funny." And then it came to me. There was
this party in Greenwich that happened every summer. It was in my sister's neighborhood
and Gary, from the Stern show, lived in that neighborhood
so I said, "Wow, I'm going to go to this party
and I'll just a bring a copy of it with me and just see what happens." If I can meet
Gary, I'll give it to him. So sure enough, I go to the party
and there's Gary and said, "Listen, I don't want to bug you about work
but I have a disc for you and want you to take
it home and watch it and if you think it's the funniest thing you've ever heard,
please show it to your boss and if you don't then it's 12 minutes our of your life
you'll never get back and I'm sorry for that." And he said, "Cool."
So now it's the following Monday morning. That party was a Saturday night.
It's Monday morning. I had the morning off. And I'm lying
in bed listening to Howard and Howard Stern goes,
"We have a friend who watches television a little but different than us because he's blind.
Now this guy says this is the funniest noise he's ever heard
and he's absolutely right. This is great."
So Howard started to play this sound that this woman was making from this video.
And I said, "Oh my god. This is cool." My sound is on the show.
This is all I ever wanted. This is great. So I'm doing
my thing and just going through life and back to work
and whatever and about a week and a half goes by and I get a call
from my brother in law after work one morning and he says, "Gary
wants to talk to you immediately." I said, "Okay, well I'm on my way home. I'll
call him when I get there." So I call Gary and I said, "What's up, man?"
He goes, "Well, listen, we love that noise you gave us. It's great.
How would you like to meet the woman that made that noise and
come on the show?" And I said, "Of course, I would love to."
He said, "Okay, cool. We'll set it up." And a week or two later I was
down in New York City on The Howard Stern Show with this woman, Aurora Snow.
I couldn't believe it. I took the train
at 4:30 in the morning. Got to the city around 6
and got my way over to Madison Avenue where the studios were.
And sat in the green room and just waited. I was so
nervous. I had never been on real television before or even
on a big radio show. Howard Stern is like an idol to me.
And I was very nervous and scared. They brought her in first.
And then they brought me in afterwards.
This is one of your biggest fans. This guy is tremendous. He loves
you so much. And I have to be honest with you. That part's not entirely
true. I think they just told her that because
could you imagine --- "Well, there's this blind guy who thinks this is the funniest
noise he's ever heard and he'd love to meet you."
Nobody wants to do that. So they told her I was a big fan.
Honestly just made me laugh. But there I was on the show and I'm
talking to her and they're doing all kinds of things with her and stuff.
And it was a lot of fun. Now, a lot of people are curious
about why I used a different name. Right, I said I was Pete
from New Jersey. Because I was working on what they call and Adult
Contemporary radio station. So it's sort of square.
In those days, it was kind of square. And I was afraid that
me being on this show with this adult entertainer
was going to blow me up and they'd just fire me.
So referred to me as Blind Pete. Right, that's what they had written
on the screen and that was what they were calling me too
throughout the appearance. So once I'm in the studio, I am nervous.
I'm so --- oh my god. I'm freaking out.
Because I'm here next to, you know, with my idol. Right, a radio
legend, but it's the radio so when somebody asks you
a question you just have to go and so I did and they
started asking me questions about how I found Aurora Snow.
And what I thought about this and did it excite me.
Was it titillating and all that kind of thing.
I never really said yes or no to that stuff because
I just wanted to keep it good for her too. You don't want to bring somebody in
and just --- we're all laughing at you. Right? That's not very nice.
And it was so funny too because as it went on ---
I think if you watch the clip, you can see that I'm really nervous and scared
up front but as it goes on I feel like I get more comfortable.
And actually, you know what, one of the questions I've been asked
a lot on YouTube was asked for the very time on that show.
And that was Artie Lange wanted to know, "How do I know when to stop wiping
in the bathroom?" First time in my life I ever heard that question.
Couldn't believe it. And when he asked me the question, I'll be honest I was not prepared.
I really didn't have an answer for it. You know, so that's the part
of that appearance that really makes me cringe.
Because I wasn't ready. I wasn't prepared. I had nothing.
I didn't even have a funny line or anything. But it was towards the end
and it was short and nice and fast.
The funniest part was, after it was all over
I got to sort of shake Howard's hand for a second and talk to him.
And Gary said, "Do you know what this guy does really?
He's a traffic reporter up in the Connecticut." And Howard went, "Really?"
And everybody sort of got a big laugh about it as people do.
And honestly it was over as quickly as it started.
As soon as I finished the show, they took me outside, I got into a cab,
went back to Grand Central Station, and off to Connecticut.
There's a lot of funny things that happened this day.
I mean, I lied at work of course and told them I was sick that day and couldn't come in.
And then they hear Blind Pete
on The Howard Stern Show and they know it's me. The guy I worked with at the time
said he had gotten a couple calls that said, "Hey, I think Tommy's on The Howard
Stern Show right now." And he went, "What?"
"What's he talking about? I thought he was home sick.
And after the appearance, at work people were saying to me, "Why didn't you use your real
name?
name?" I said, "Please, I'm going on The Howard Stern Show with
an adult film star, you know. This could be the thing you might
need to just get rid of me. So I figured I'd use a differerent name."
"Oh, you should have just used your name. It would have been great."
That's easy to say afterwards, right.
But upfront, I was not going to take that chance. I had too much
to lose. I had a good job. I don't want mess it up.
My experience off the air with Howard wasn't much. I'll be honest
with you. I just talked to him for a few seconds but he was really nice to me.
He wasn't going to let me touch his face or anything like that to see
if his nose was really as big as he says. Artie was
very nice to me. Artie laughed at a lot of my stuff
which was great. Robin was alright with me too but she's in another
room so I never even met her. I think the thing that surprised me most
about the experience was how short it really was.
It just flew by so fast.
And how comfortable I got so quickly.
Ben Churchill actually told me the night before this appearance,
he said, "You're on the radio every day. Don't worry about it.
Just make like you're on your own radio station
and just do what you do and just relax and have fun."
That advice was spectacular. It was wonderful advice.
It helped me a ton. I was nervous, nervous,
nervous, and then I sat down, put the headphones on,
and now I'm just on the radio just like any other time.
It happens to be with Howard and Robin and Gary and Artie and everybody.
But it was wonderful advice and it helped me out
a ton. Aurora Snow was almost timid off camera.
She was very quiet and shy and didn't quite
know what to say to me or how to be with me. I remember we did
a thing after the appearance, you know, that they did on the Howard Stern
show, they talked to the guests afterwards, right, and get their reaction and stuff.
She seemed completely different.
Just as shy as could be... like anybody.
Just quiet and, "Hi, how are you?" It is funny though
that they told her that I was a giant fan of hers and that's just not true.
That noise was not exciting, nor was it
titillating. It just made me laugh.
One of the funny things that happens when you do television, is that people
see you. Which is weird
but that's what happens.
So that show aired on a Thursday night. On Friday afternoon,
I went in our friend Franco's for a slice of pizza for lunch before
my second shift of the day and Franco says to me,
"Hey, saw you on The Howard Stern Show last night." I said,
"What? You saw that?" He goes, "Yeah, it was pretty funny.
You were good." People flip around when they watch television of course,
and when they see someone they know they stop.
And so I'm sure that's how he found me and how others found me
as well. Now, since I've been on YouTube people have found
this clip and went, "Wait a minute. Blind Pete?That's Tommy Edison.
Oh my god. I know him."
It's very strange. And I get a lot of questions about
my appearance on that show and I hope this answers them
all for you. I guess a lot of people in the comments are upset because
they think Howard and the whole crew were rude to me. I don't know.
I didn't see it as being rude to me. I mean, that's the show.
You know what I mean? You go into that show knowing what you're going to get.
And I knew what it was going to be like. I mean, I'm a blind person. There's not many
of us, you know. So they're going to ask all sorts of questions. They're going to
be curious about things. They don't think a blind person
could find somebody attractive or have somebody
find them attractive. I mean, I get that in the comments now.
People are like, "Are you a virgin?"
I find that kind of outrageous but no I didn't think they
were rude to me at all. I thought they were very nice. And I'm not a virgin.
[laughs]
So there it is. That's my story about my time on The Howard Stern Show.
Tell you what, if you've never seen this before and you'd like to, we'll leave the link for it
right there in the description and I'd love to know what you think about it.
And if you have any other questions, please hit me up in the comments.
Thank you. Thanks so much for subscribing to The Blind Pete Experience.
[music plays]
Hey, how about this new background, huh? You like this? Well, don't get
used to it. We're just on the road. We're in a hotel and we figured
we have the time so we may as well shoot some videos. That's all.
Don't be alarmed or paniced or anything. Things will
return to the way you're used to. Maybe.

3 Wasps That Will Do Anything to Survive - Duration: 5:17.
Wasps have a pretty bad rep: nobody wants yellowjackets pestering them at picnics.
It's not like they make honey...they just sting you!
But there's around 30,000 species of them, more than all known mammals and birds combined!
Some are stunning to look at, while others have ridiculous names like
"gasteruption jaculator" or "aha ha."
And some wasps go to pretty extreme lengths to survive and reproduce:
getting trapped in figs, destroying their own nervous system, and
cockroach mind-control!
You probably know bees are great pollinators.
And some wasps are too, like the fig wasp!
They've lived, mated, and died inside figs for millions of years, driving a complicated
evolutionary relationship.
A young fig is actually a bunch of tiny flowers folded inside a pod.
There's a small opening at the bottom of the pod
just big enough for a female fig wasp to crawl into.
In fact, it's such a tight squeeze that her wings and antenna are usually ripped off
of her body as she climbs in.
But it's not like she's going to need them anymore.
She lays an egg inside each fig flower, which serve as little incubators.
Then, she dies – helpless and trapped, but her job complete.
The baby males emerge first, chewing holes into the leftover flower-incubators
and impregnating the females before they even hatch
to set up the next generation.
The males are wingless, and can't survive outside.
But they dig tunnels out of the fig to help the emerging females escape, to start the
cycle over again.
Now, what does the fig get out of this deal?
Well, the same thing: reproduction!
Figs can be male or female, too.
And fig wasps can only lay eggs in male figs, which produce pollen.
The shape of the flowers in female figs, which receive pollen, prevents it.
So basically, every female fig wasp is born coated in the pollen of a male fig flower.
So it's not great for her if she ends up in a female fig, but it IS good for the fig!
That female wasp will have some pollen stuck to her from the male fig she hatched in, so
it pollinates the female fig she ended up in, even though she can't lay eggs in there,
before she dies.
So the fig can mature into a tasty fruit, and an animal can eat it and disperse
the seeds.
And it works out for everybody, except for that one particular female fig wasp.
Now, wasps come in all shapes and sizes.
The biggest are Asian giant hornets, whose queens can reach 5 cm.
But others rarely grow larger than one millimeter long!
They're too small for most predators to bother them, and they're tiny enough to
lay their eggs in other insect eggs to take advantage of someone else's delicious nutrients.
And they've pulled some nifty tricks to
pack thousands of cells into a teeny-tiny body.
Take this wasp with a mouthful of a name: Megaphragma mymaripenne, which is the third
smallest insect we know of.
It has a full body with organs and nerves, but it's about the same size as an amoeba
– a single-celled organism!
To stay small as it matures into an adult, it destroys nearly all the DNA-containing
nuclei from its neurons... and somehow survives!
We used to think all cells need DNA in order to make proteins, and carry out all the processes
that keep animals alive and functioning.
But even with its ravaged nervous system, these wasps can still fly, mate, lay eggs,
and survive for five whole days into their adulthood – which isn't an unusually short
lifespan.
Some researchers think that this wasp might make all the proteins and stuff its neurons
need to survive for those five days just before becoming an adult and bursting its nuclei.
But it's still kind of a mystery, and there might be a lot we can learn about the bare
minimum for survival from these thrifty little critters.
This female jewel wasp may look snazzy, but don't be fooled.
She uses literal mind control to get what she wants: live cockroach flesh for her babies.
When she finds a roach, she hits it a one-two punch of a venom cocktail.
The first sting to the thorax temporarily disables its front legs, and the second targets
specific cells in the cockroach's version of a brain.
The venom isn't deadly, as she, unlike me, doesn't want to kill the roach…
just change its behavior.
Probably because of dopamine laced into the injection, the cockroach suddenly gets obsessed
with cleaning itself.
The venom also screws with its opioid system, making it much less responsive and less easily
startled.
So even though it has a clear size advantage, it doesn't put up a fight.
After about half an hour, the zombified roach's legs recover enough to let the wasp lead it
to its final destination: an underground burrow she prepared while the roach was busy grooming.
Once inside, she leaves the roach with a parting "gift": a single egg laid inside its body.
Then she seals the tomb and goes off to find another victim.
There's nothing the trapped roach can do.
The venom keeps it in a stupor, but it stays alive long enough to feed the new larva growing
inside it, beginning the next generation of cockroach mind-control!

Actors Whose Careers Were Ruined By Great TV Shows - Duration: 5:43.
To us regular people, landing a gig on an immensely popular television series might
seem like the best work ever for an actor.
Years and years of steady salary plus celebrity status?
What could go wrong?
Well, sometimes those roles aren't quite all they're cracked up to be.
These actors hit it so big with these TV shows that their careers still haven't fully recovered.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
If you have to go down in history for one role and one role only, it doesn't get much
better than being remembered as the kickass Buffy Summers, the Slayer, the Chosen One.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the most influential television series to ever grace
the small screen, and fans have stuck by the series for 20 years now.
Sarah Michelle Gellar had a number of hits during the Buffy years, like I Know What You
Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions.
But the post-Buffy years haven't been exactly kind to Gellar, at least in a cinematic sense.
Fortunately, her other pursuits have taken off.
In 2002 she married Freddie Prinze Jr., and the two '90s sweethearts now have two children.
In 2015, Gellar launched Foodstirs, a monthly subscription service offering baking boxes.
And in February 2017, she published her first cookbook.
Not bad for a former slayer...
David Schwimmer
Since his ten years as Ross Geller on Friends, Schwimmer's career has basically slowed to
a halt.
It's a typical case of a great television role ruining an actor's chances for success
in other arenas.
Schwimmer himself even acknowledges the damage his Friends success did to his career.
In August 2016, he told The Hollywood Reporter how his sudden celebrity status affected him:
"It made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen.
And I realized that after a while I was no longer watching people; I was trying to hide."
And as if that weren't bad enough, Schwimmer's enormous celebrity nearly destroyed his personal
life, too.
"It messed with my relationship to other people in a way that took years, I think, for me
to kind of adjust to and be comfortable with."
But there's hope on the horizon.
More recently, Friends fans delighted in the return of David Schwimmer as attorney Robert
Kardashian in the critically acclaimed FX series The People vs. O.J. Simpson.
And if that doesn't reboot his career, we can always look forward to another Madagascar,
right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Despite the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker said that she would never do a television
series again after Sex and the City, she popped up on HBO's Divorce, which has received mixed
reviews since its premiere in 2016.
SJP had quite the career before Sex and the City, beginning as a theater actor on Broadway,
and going on to star in such films as L.A. Story, Honeymoon in Vegas, Ed Wood, and Mars
Attacks!.
But it still feels a little like SJP will always be remembered as C-C-C-Carrie Bradshaw.
And there's really nothing wrong with that — Sex and the City has a pretty amazing
legacy.
Just, please, don't make any more Sex and the City movies.
Jason Alexander
From the cast of Seinfeld, there's Jerry, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards.
We all know what happened to Michael Richards.
And Louis-Dreyfus has gone on to star in another great show, Veep.
Jerry is still Jerry-ing right along.
That leaves Jason Alexander, a fantastic comedic actor...whose career just took a nosedive
after Seinfeld wrapped in 1998.
So what has Alexander been up to since Seinfeld?
Well, aside from those KFC commercials, apparently he's been playing a lot of poker, including
in televised tournaments where he donates his winnings to charity.
That's a big change from George Costanza, but hey, good for him!
The crew of the Enterprise
Although Shakespearean-trained actor Patrick Stewart has gone on to many more major roles
in his long and prolific career after playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the rest of the Star
Trek: The Next Generation cast was not so lucky.
Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and Brent Spiner have all failed to embark on major careers
post-Trek.
That speaks more to the career stifling effects of the iconic characters they played, rather
than their talents as actors.
"Hey, Troy?"
"Hi, I'm LeVar Burton!"
Still, the Star Trek fanbase is a die-hard, dedicated, uh, enterprise.
Let's hope the Star Trek legacy has been enough to sustain these three over the years.
Jon Hamm
Mad Men's Jon Hamm is so totally Don Draper that the only parts he's had since are simply
different versions of that same character — like his brief cameo in Bridesmaids or
his role in 30 Rock.
"I guess I'll see you around then…"
"Or as the French say…"
"Yeah."
But the fact remains that since Mad Men wrapped in 2015, Jon Hamm's career has been mostly
dormant … or just flying under the radar.
It's only been two years, so let's hope that Hamm will be able to find a role that gives
him a break from the Don Draper persona.
So far — unless you count corny tax-preparation commercials — it hasn't happened.
Lauren Ambrose
Lauren Ambrose: What happened?
We miss you.
Ambrose is best remembered for her turn as Claire on HBO's Six Feet Under, one of the
most relatable and beloved characters of the series.
Before that, you may have seen Ambrose trapped in a bathroom with Seth Green in 1998's Can't
Hardly Wait.
But after Six Feet Under ended in 2005, Ambrose hasn't gotten many shots in big-name productions,
aside from a supporting role in The X-Files reboot.
We'd love to see her again!
Hopefully we'll get our wish soon...

23 Disney Facts About The Princess - Duration: 8:11.
Hi everybody! It's Wednesday! I had no idea what I wanted to do for this week, so I decided
to do a variation of the "25 facts about me" video that a lot of YouTubers have done in the past.
And what I mean by a "variation of 25 facts about me" is that I'm not going do 25 facts, first of all.
I'm 23; I'm gonna go with 23 facts. They're not gonna just be any facts.
I'm gonna do 23 Disney facts about me! Without further ado, I'm going to get into it.
(#1) So far, out of the six Disney parks in total, I've been to two. I've been
to Disneyland Paris, and I basically grew up in Walt Disney World. (#2) I am going
to Disneyland this summer! Like, in a month! I am so excited! Walt will have stood in the place
where I will stand, and that's what matters to me. (#3) My favorite live action Disney (remake) movie
that is not based on a property that Disney acquired - but is like actually made by Disney - is The Jungle Book.
Which, technically it is a property that Disney acquired, but my point is that Disney had
the animated version from the [19]60's, and now they have the live action remake with the CGI.
And it's really only live action because Neel Sethi is in it. (#4) I have never had a Dole Whip in my entire life.
I don't like pineapple. But I have been told that, at least the Dole Whip in Disneyland is really good despite
people not liking pineapple. (#5) My favorite Disney park has changed throughout my life, but it has circled
back to the Magic Kingdom. (#6) My favorite ride at my favorite park is the Haunted Mansion.
(#7) I was actually scared of the Haunted Mansion when I was a child. So much so, that when my family
came down, we went to Disney and I screamed about not wanting to go on the Haunted Mansion.
I ended up going with my Grandpa and, like, burying my face in his side because I just couldn't deal with it.
(#8) Believe it or not, the Eddie Murphy movie is the reason that I like the Haunted Mansion now.
(#9) I am one of those Disney people that is disappointed in the acquisition of the
Pandora property for Animal Kingdom. It's not like I won't go to Pandora and experience it for myself.
From what I've seen, the landscaping is gorgeous. I don't like Avatar, is the thing. I just don't like it as a movie.
(#10) I have not been to Walt Disney World since October of 2015. Granted, the following April,
I went to Disneyland Paris so I can't really complain, but it's been almost 2 years since I've been home.
(#11) Pocahontas was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. It came out 2 years after I was born
and I was obsessed with it because I was a toddler. For my second birthday party, everything was
Pocahontas-themed. I had a Pocahontas sweater, I had a Pocahontas cake, I had the plastic armband-thing
(not sure what the term for it is?), I had her necklace - and it was 1995. (#12) One of my favorite Imagineers…
ever, who is also a Disney Legend, is Alice Davis. If you want me to, I will eventually do a
Women Crush Winesday for her because she was …is, she's still alive…the coolest woman!
(#13) My Beast doll back here [pointing] - I didn't get him at the show. It's only important to tell you
that because my mom got him from work - she worked at some affiliate of ABC I think.
She gave him to me, we took him to New York, the little girl behind me threw a flippin' fit.
She wanted that doll. The ones that they sold at the show, which they still sell now, are about half his size.
And she wanted this one because he's huge and cuddly. (#14) [humming sarcastically] I'mma tell y'all the
Queen of Hearts story. I do not like the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Not even a little bit.
I was a baby; I was still in a stroller, I don't even know how old I was. So, you know, innocent 'lil Paige,
sitting in her stroller, bucket of popcorn in her lap - and if you've never had the Walt Disney World popcorn,
you don't know just how addictive it is. The Queen of Hearts, with her plastic head and her disgusting
cloth hands, she comes over to me, puts her hand in my popcorn bucket, shovels a [exaggerated] huge
handful of popcorn, and puts it into her fake mouth! I'll never forgive her for it.
(#15) I was Mulan for Halloween in 1998 (I think sans makeup), because that's when the movie came out.
(#16) I was Jane Porter for Halloween in 1999 because that's when Tarzan came out - and
also I really liked that dress because it was my style. It was the big, poofy yellow one she wears
at the beginning. (#17) I think you guys/people probably think that Belle is my favorite Disney princess,
and she is very close to the top spot if not actually in the top spot. I have a hard time picking, mostly
because I don't find that I entirely identify with any of the Princesses, except for one. I have to say that
my favorite, that I identify with the most, is Moana. Her personality is one that I find most of myself in,
more than any other Disney princess. (#18) Before Moana, I actually found myself in other
characters that weren't the Princesses - even though I do love all of them.
For example: [sighs] Miss Bianca and Charlotte la Bouff are two characters that I aspire to be.
(#19) My favorite non-Princess movie is 101 Dalmatians. I love puppies, and I love Cruella de Vil
as a villain. The movie itself is drawn in this way that is akin to the other movies that were [animated]
around it. It wasn't as clean of an animation style as it had been, but 101 Dalmatians is done
intentionally like that. The lines of the buildings don't line up with the buildings themselves.
The spots are all Xeroxed because there is no way that they could have made that movie
in as little time as they did by hand painting each individual puppy with specific spots
for that puppy - There's just now way they could do it. (#20) And Dodie Smith, the author of 101 Dalmatians
[the book] actually worked closely with the cast and crew. And then, when the movie came out,
she said that it actually improved her work! She was really proud of it. She was really happy with
the outcome of 101 Dalmatians, and that alone warms my lil' heart. (#21) It is almost impossible to pick
a single favorite Disney song, so I'm gonna pick a few. I'm gonna count them all as 1 fact, and
they're all gonna be in different categories. My favorite Princess song, I think, is a Dream Is A Wish Your
Heart Makes from Cinderella. [flails] Oh, it's romantic and I love it.
My favorite sidekick song…it would be sacrilegious of me not to pick Human Again because
…Beauty and the Beast. My favorite song from one of the sing-a-long VHS tapes as a kid is called
I'm Walking Right Down The Middle of Mainstreet USA.
I don't know - it's very welcoming and it's like, "You're in Disney!" and I like that a lot. My favorite villain song…
these are so hard to pick from. The villains have some of the best songs!
Because there's Gaston, there's Poor Unfortunate Soul, Be Prepared which is…it's scary.
I'm gonna say that Be Prepared is my favorite Villain song. My favorite Phil Collins song from a Disney
movie…just the whole Tarzan soundtrack. Now I can only hear Trashin' the Camp in my head. Oooohh!
You know what? Son of Man. Mhm! Yeah, I think those are all the songs that I'm going to pick because
I just can't pick anymore. (#22) My favorite Disney attraction overall…It really depends on the park.
But if I'm gonna pick one that beats most others, if not all others…OOOH. It hurts - it hurts my heart
to try to do this. My brain is telling me The Ratatouille ride at Disneyland Paris, just because of its scale
and the fact that I cried all the way through it. (#23) I'll make this one easy since it's the last one.
My favorite acquired property of Disney's is Star Wars. I am always here for Star Wars movies, and
Star Wars shows, and Star Wars books, and Star Wars, and Princess Leia, and Star Wars.
I like the wars of the stars! Those are 23 Disney facts about moi! Thank you so much for watching this video!
If you liked it, please give it a thumbs up. In the comments below, let me know what any of your
favorite things about Disney are or if you would like me to do more videos like this.
I like doing them because I don't have to think too hard as far as pre-planning goes,
but I'll only do them if you want to see them. If you're not already subscribed to The Princess and the Scrivener,
please do so down below, especially if you'd like to see more videos on Disney, intersectional feminism,
pop culture critiques, and more! Sarah will see you next week…I hope…I really hope!
This channel is more and more just becoming The Princess [laughs]. I'm kidding! I kid! [I love you, Sarah <3]
