Alfajores de Maicena | Felicitas Pizarro - Duration: 3:58.
Classic "Alfajorcitos de Maicena",
the one and only, so delicious.
Traditional from our country.
Filled with dulce de leche.
Sprinkled with grated coconut.
So delicious! And if you don't know what an "alfajor" is...let me explain...
If you live in another country, you probably don't know them.
They are like sweet sandwiches.
They are great as a snack at work or school, or for that moments you need a sweet treat.
You have one, then you want to have another and another and it goes on like that...
So let's begin the recipe.
Don't have too much alfajorcitos because you'll end up like me!
Take 150 GRS. BUTTER at room temperature,
to the mixer.
150 GRS. ICING SUGAR.
Now we will start beating this up.
We want the ingredients to integrate well and get a whiter color.
- BEAT UP UNTIL WELL INTEGRATED -
Perfect.
Let's add...
the ZEST OF 1 LEMON.
1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT.
And the egg yolks.
9 EGG YOLKS.
Ready.
Now, time to sieve...
cornstarch, flour, salt and baking powder.
350 GRS. CORNSTARCH.
Add in the flour.
120 GRS. FLOUR.
10 GRS. BAKING POWDER.
And 1 PINCH OF SALT.
Once you've sieved all the ingredients, let's add it to the butter, sugar and yolks mixture.
Let's go!
Keep on mixing until all the ingredients are well joined.
Good, this is ready!
Dough.
Spread some flour on the table to roll the dough.
So yellow.
Some more flour and time to roll!
Dough well rolled. Time to cut in circles.
Buttered baking tray.
And take the dough circles to the tray.
Well, I will bake these ones first.
You'll get 18 alfajorcitos out of this recipe.
This means you'll get 36 dough circles.
Can you believe how good I am at maths?
Take this to the oven,
for around 10-15 minutes, until they are just a bit golden and lovely.
180ºC / 356ºF - 10/15 MINUTES
This is now ready.
We want the top part to be super white
and the inner side just a bit golden.
Now, let's build my alfajores.
I'm using a spoon to fill them, you can use a pastry bag if you prefer.
It will be tidier of course.
Use one tablespoon per alfajor.
Lid on top.
And now with this dulce de leche that shows off the edges...
I will stick some lovely grated coconut.
My name is Felicitas Pizarro, remember we are what we eat...
and today we are..."Alfajorcitos de Maicena".

Shattering The Veils Of Illusion - Duration: 5:41.
Shattering The Veils Of Illusion
Today I received some insight and an urge to reach out and touch the masculine energy,
which I sense right now is struggling to come to terms with who they are.
Whether you are a man or a woman, you can carry the Masculine or Feminine energy within.
Your soul is guiding you to take a closer look at the inner core of self; this Universal
push is asking, begging, and pleading with you to really come to accept the authentic
you.
As the feminine energies are rising, to walk their true path in this lifetime, they move
forward without fear or judgement.
They continue on their quest to be guides and teachers to all mankind.
They are stepping into their life purpose and global missions, to transform the ways
of humanity.
You may feel a distinct desire to blame those around you for the way that you currently
feel, or for what is going on in your life.
Perhaps you are struggling to continue the way of living, many I sense are in a constant
conflict every day.
There is a reason, and one that your mind cannot and will not comprehend.
It may be that you have decided to run and hide behind alcohol, drugs or other pastimes
that distract you from your situation.
Your whole world may be seemingly falling apart at this time, and you are wondering
why.
In reality this is all something that the feminine energies have been going through
for the past few years.
Clearing templates, releasing chains and shattering the veils of illusion � they have battled
with themselves, and finally have reached a place of Oneness.
The feminine energy has laid the path behind them, so that you the masculine can quickly
and safely join alongside them.
This required a tremendous amount of pain, sorrow and guts to prepare the path.
Laying the foundations for the New Earth is a mammoth task, and one that the feminine
accepts with an open heart and mind.
They have filled themselves with pure unconditional love, for which humanity will one day be grateful.
Now, my dear brothers and sisters who carry the masculine energy, it is time for the masculine
to truly drop all the masks and machoism, to step in to the unknown, and fully embrace
their true authentic self.
Your feminine counterpart, or opposite energy, is going to continue on their quest, with
or without you � this is their solo mission.
To share the love and energies that they possess within.
They have healed and prepared the foundations within, to build a fully aligned life and
journey, in love.
The journey is one that has enable you, the masculine, to enjoy so much hard work that
the feminine has done.
You are able and free to become your true authentic self, because your feminine counterpart
will guide and support you all the way.
We honor and give thanks for the tremendous sacrifices the feminine has made.
It has not been easy, and they don�t want your empathy or sympathy.
The feminine is asking you, the masculine, to truly embrace the love that you are, and
to join them.
Together, you are able to achieve the most miraculous things as One.
Your energies, when combined become the power of three, for you are adding the Divine energy
of love.
Can you imagine the possibilities?
The combination of your energies?
All your combined skills and wisdom are a true force to be reckoned with.
As you move forward, together, you will create incredible things that only dreams are made
of.
This is your light at the end of the tunnel, the reward for your desire to reach your true
authentic self.
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow � true love, peace and harmony.
Dreams do come true.
Allow your heart and soul guide you to that hidden treasure within, and reach the same
place as your feminine counterpart.
He or She is ready and waiting to receive you, on a level playing field.
It takes a hero to delve into the crevices of the mind and soul.
Be sure to know, that you will be nurtured and supported by your feminine counterpart,
as she continues to do the work necessary for humanity.
She has not forgotten you, she is with you, she is part of you � it is time
to join her and be one.

Depression, Anxiety And Fatigue Symptoms Of The Mutiny Of The Soul - Duration: 16:14.
Depression, Anxiety And Fatigue Symptoms Of The Mutiny Of The Soul
by Charles Eisenstein
Depression, anxiety, and fatigue are an essential part of a process of metamorphosis that is
unfolding on the planet today, and highly significant for the light they shed on the
transition from an old world to a new.
When a growing fatigue or depression becomes serious, and we get a diagnosis of Epstein-Barr
or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or hypothyroid or low serotonin, we typically feel relief
and alarm.
Alarm: something is wrong with me.
Relief: at least I know I�m not imagining things; now that I have a diagnosis, I can
be cured, and life can go back to normal.
But of course, a cure for these conditions is elusive.
The Question
The notion of a cure starts with the question, �What has gone wrong?� But there is another,
radically different way of seeing fatigue and depression that starts by asking, �What
is the body, in its perfect wisdom, responding to?� When would it be the wisest choice
for someone to be unable to summon the energy to fully participate in life?
The answer is staring us in the face.
When our soul-body is saying No to life, through fatigue or depression, the first thing to
ask is, �Is life as I am living it the right life for me right now?� When the soul-body
is saying No to participation in the world, the first thing to ask is, �Does the world
as it is presented me merit my full participation?�
What if there is something so fundamentally wrong with the world, the lives, and the way
of being offered us, that withdrawal is the only sane response?
Withdrawal, followed by a reentry into a world, a life, and a way of being wholly different
from the one left behind?
The unspoken goal of modern life seems to be to live as long and as comfortably as possible,
to minimize risk and to maximize security.
We see this priority in the educational system, which tries to train us to be �competitive�
so that we can �make a living�.
We see it in the medical system, where the goal of prolonging life trumps any consideration
of whether, sometimes, the time has come to die.
We see it in our economic system, which assumes that all people are motivated by �rational
self-interest�, defined in terms of money, associated with security and survival.
(And have you ever thought about the phrase �the cost of living�?)
We are supposed to be practical, not idealistic; we are supposed to put work before play.
Ask someone why she stays in a job she hates, and as often as not the answer is, �For
the health insurance.� In other words, we stay in jobs that leave us feeling dead in
order to gain the assurance of staying alive.
When we choose health insurance over passion, we are choosing survival over life.
On a deep level, which I call the soul level, we want none of that.
We recognize that we are here on earth to enact a sacred purpose, and that most of the
jobs on offer are beneath our dignity as human beings.
But we might be too afraid to leave our jobs, our planned-out lives, our health insurance,
or whatever other security and comfort we have received in exchange for our divine gifts.
Deep down, we recognize this security and comfort as slaves� wages, and we yearn to
be free.
A rebellion of the Soul
So, the soul rebels.
Afraid to make the conscious choice to step away from a slave�s life, we make the choice
unconsciously instead.
We can no longer muster the energy to go through the motions.
We enact this withdrawal from life through a variety of means.
We might summon the Epstein-Barr virus into our bodies, or mononucleosis, or some other
vector of chronic fatigue.
We might shut down our thyroid or adrenal glands.
We might shut down our production of serotonin in the brain.
Other people take a different route, incinerating the excess life energy in the fires of addiction.
Either way, we are in some way refusing to participate.
We are shying away from ignoble complicity in a world gone wrong.
We are refusing to contribute our divine gifts to the aggrandizement of that world.
That is why the conventional approach of fixing the problem so that we can return to normal
life will not work.
It might work temporarily, but the body will find other ways to resist.
Raise serotonin levels with SSRIs, and the brain will prune some receptor sites, thinking
in its wisdom, �Hey, I�m not supposed to feel good about the life I am living right
now.� In the end, there is always suicide, a common endpoint of the pharmaceutical regimes
that seek to make us happy with something inimical to our very purpose and being.
You can only force yourself to abide in wrongness so long.
When the soul�s rebellion is suppressed too long, it can explode outward in bloody
revolution.
Significantly, all of the school shootings in the last decade have involved people on
anti-depression medication.
All of them!
For a jaw-dropping glimpse of the results of the pharmaceutical regime of control, scroll
down this compilation of suicide/homicide cases involving SSRIs.
I am not using �jaw-dropping� as a figure of speech.
My jaw literally dropped open.
Back in the 1970s, dissidents in the Soviet Union were often hospitalized in mental institutions
and given drugs similar to the ones used to treat depression today.
The reasoning was that you had to be insane to be unhappy in the Socialist Workers�
Utopia.
When the people treating depression receive status and prestige from the very system that
their patients are unhappy with, they are unlikely to affirm the basic validity of the
patient�s withdrawal from life.
�The system has to be sound � after all, it validates my professional status � therefore
the problem must be with you.�
Unfortunately, �holistic� approaches are no different, as long as they deny the wisdom
of the body�s rebellion.
When they do seem to work, usually that is because they coincide with some other shift.
When someone goes out and gets help, or makes a radical switch of modalities, it works as
a ritual communication to the unconscious mind of a genuine life change.
Rituals have the power to make conscious decisions real to the unconscious.
They can be part of taking back one�s power.
I have met countless people of great compassion and sensitivity, people who would describe
themselves as �conscious� or �spiritual�, who have battled with CFS, depression, thyroid
deficiency, and so on.
These are people who have come to a transition point in their lives where they become physically
incapable of living the old life in the old world.
That is because, in fact, the world presented to us as normal and acceptable is anything
but.
It is a monstrosity.
Ours is a planet in pain.
If you need me to convince you of that, if you are unaware of the destruction of forests,
oceans, wetlands, cultures, soil, health, beauty, dignity, and spirit that underlies
the System we live in, then I have nothing to say to you.
I only am speaking to you if you do believe that there is something deeply wrong with
the way we are living on this planet.
Anxiety �disorders�
A related syndrome comprises various �attention deficit� and anxiety �disorders� (forgive
me, I cannot write down these words without the ironic quotation marks) which reflect
an unconscious knowledge that something is wrong around here.
Anxiety, like all emotions, has a proper function.
Suppose you left a pot on the stove and you know you forgot something, you just can�t
remember what.
You cannot rest at ease.
Something is bothering you, something is wrong.
Subliminally you smell smoke.
You obsess: did I leave the water running?
Did I forget to pay the mortgage?
The anxiety keeps you awake and alert; it doesn�t let you rest; it keeps your mind
churning, worrying.
This is good.
This is what saves your life.
Eventually you realize � the house is on fire! � and anxiety turns into panic, and
action.
So if you suffer from anxiety, maybe you don�t have a �disorder� at all � maybe the
house is on fire.
Anxiety is simply the emotion corresponding to �Something is dangerously wrong and I
don�t know what it is.� That is only a disorder if there is in fact nothing dangerously
wrong.
�Nothing is wrong, just you� is the message that any therapy gives when it tries to fix
you.
I disagree with that message.
The problem is not with you.
You have very good reason to be anxious.
Anxiety keeps part of your attention away from your tasks of polishing the silverware
as the house burns down, of playing the violin as the Titanic sinks.
Unfortunately, the wrongness you are tapping into might be beyond the cognizance of the
psychiatrists who treat you, who then conclude that the problem must be your brain.
Similarly, Attention Deficit Disorder, ADHD, and my favorite, Oppositional Defiant Disorder
(ODD) are only disorders if we believe that the things presented for our attention are
worth paying attention to.
We cannot admit, without calling into question the whole edifice of our school system, that
it may be completely healthy for a ten-year-old boy to not sit still for six hours in a classroom
learning about long division and Vasco de Gama.
Perhaps the current generation of children, that some call the Indigos, simply have a
lower tolerance for school�s agenda of conformity, obedience, external motivation, right-and-wrong
answers, the quantification of performance, rules and bells, report cards and grades and
your permanent record.
So we try to enforce their attention with stimulants, and subdue their heroic intuitive
rebellion against the spirit-wrecking machine.
As I write about the �wrongness� against which we all rebel, I can hear some readers
asking, �What about the metaphysical principle that it�s �all good�?� Just relax,
I am told, nothing is wrong, all is part of the divine plan.
You only perceive it as wrong because of your limited human perspective.
All of this is only here for our own development.
War: it gives people wonderful opportunities to make heroic choices and burn off bad karma.
Life is wonderful, Charles, why do you have to make it wrong?
I am sorry, but usually such reasoning is just a sop to the conscience.
If it is all good, then that is only because we perceive and experience it as terribly
wrong.
The perception of iniquity moves us to right it.
Nonetheless, it would be ignorant and fruitless to pass judgment upon those who do not see
anything wrong, who, oblivious to the facts of destruction, think everything is basically
fine.
There is a natural awakening process, in which first we proceed full speed ahead participating
in the world, believing in it, seeking to contribute to the Ascent of Humanity.
Eventually, we encounter something that is undeniably wrong, perhaps a flagrant injustice
or a serious health problem or a tragedy near at hand.
Our first response is to think this is an isolated problem, remediable with some effort,
within a system that is basically sound.
But when we try to fix it, we discover deeper and deeper levels of wrongness.
The rot spreads; we see that no injustice, no horror can stand in isolation.
We see that the disappeared dissidents in South America, the child laborers in Pakistan,
the clearcut forests of the Amazon, are all intimately linked together in a grotesque
tapestry that includes every aspect of modern life.
We realize that the problems are too big to fix.
We are called to live in an entirely different way, starting with our most fundamental values
and priorities.
All of us go through this process, repeatedly, in various realms of our lives; all parts
of the process are right and necessary.
The phase of full participation is a growth phase in which we develop gifts that will
be applied very differently later.
The phase of trying to fix, to endure, to soldier on with a life that isn�t working
is a maturation phase that develops qualities of patience and determination and strength.
The phase of discovering the all-encompassing nature of the problem is usually a phase of
despair, but it need not be.
Properly, it is a phase of rest, of stillness, of withdrawal, of preparation for a push.
The push is a birth-push.
Crises in our lives converge and propel us into a new life, a new being that we hardly
imagine could exist, except that we�d heard rumors of it, echoes, and maybe even caught
a glimpse of it here and there, been granted through grace a brief preview.
If you are in the midst of this process, you need not suffer if you cooperate with it.
I can offer you two things.
First is self-trust.
Trust your own urge to withdraw even when a million messages are telling you, �The
world is fine, what�s wrong with you?
Get with the program.� Trust your innate belief that you are here on earth for something
magnificent, even when a thousand disappointments have told you you are ordinary.
Trust your idealism, buried in your eternal child�s heart, that says that a far more
beautiful world than this is possible.
Trust your impatience that says �good enough� is not good enough.
Do not label your noble refusal to participate as laziness and do not medicalize it as an
illness.
Your heroic body has merely made a few sacrifices to serve your growth.
The second thing I can offer you is a map.
The journey I have described is not always linear, and you may find yourself from time
to time revisiting earlier territory.
When you find the right life, when you find the right expression of your gifts, you will
receive an unmistakable signal.
You will feel excited and alive.
Many people have preceded you on this journey, and many more will follow in times to come.
Because the old world is falling apart, and the crises that initiate the journey are converging
upon us.
Soon many people will follow the paths we have pioneered.
Each journey is unique, but all share the same basic dynamics I have described.
When you have passed through it, and understood the necessity and rightness of each of its
phases, you will be prepared to midwife others through it as well.
Your condition, all the years of it, has prepared you for this.
It has prepared you to ease the passage of those who will follow.

Why You Don't Hear From Andie MacDowell Anymore - Duration: 5:56.
Andie MacDowell rose to fame in the late '80s with memorable appearances in films like Sex,
Lies and Videotape, Groundhog Day, and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Her public profile also increased due to long-lived status as a hair and beauty model.
The years have been kind to Andie MacDowell, and at almost 60 years old she's just as stunning
as ever, but her career as been much more low-key lately.
Here's a look at what the actress has been up to under the radar in recent years.
Stepping away from the limelight
MacDowell has spent the better part of her adult life in the spotlight, but too much
attention can sometimes overwhelm her.
In a 2013 interview with The Washington Post, she said, "There's a deep piece of me that
wants to be very personal and not share everything with everybody and not put it out there.
There's a piece of me that wants to hold on and not to have to be out in front.
But there's another part of me that's perfectly fine with it.
It's almost a dual personality."
Perhaps smaller roles in TV films and her Hallmark Channel series have helped her find
a happy balance between those interests, but there's a sign she might be coming out of
her shell now.
She did her first nude scene at the age of 59 for 2017's Love After Love and found that
she was surprisingly comfortable with the work.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, "And after all of that worrying about taking my clothes
off, it didn't even affect me in the least, seeing myself naked.
What affected me more was to see how sad I looked.
The only reason I could do that is because I know that sadness.
That to me made me feel more vulnerable that being naked.
It had no effect on me, being naked, which is fascinating."
That body positivity has also inspired MacDowell to speak out against some ageist terminology
that might be thrown at her.
Taking a stand
One can call MacDowell talented, graceful, intriguing and even sexy.
But the term "cougar" will send this star into the red zone.
Despite having played a thirsty southern mom in Magic Mike XXL, MacDowell refuses to label
her character and even other woman of a certain age "cougars."
She believes it's downright rude and derogatory.
She told People, "I find it offensive.
There's this notion that as men get older they become more handsome, so therefore they
can have younger women, but there is no reality to that obviously – it's just another way
to disempower women… if we want to date a guy that's 20 years younger than we are
then we definitely have that same right, just like any man does.
I dare any 57-year-old man to tell me that he looks younger than me."
It's hard to argue with that, although she did famously decline to kiss Dane DeHaan in
a Lifetime movie because he was the same age as her son.
"He's beautiful but I just eeeeh I don't know."
Given what she's been through in her personal life, though, it's no wonder she's widening
her potential match market.
Surviving heartbreak
Since entering the spotlight in the late '80s, MacDowell has endured two major divorces,
and each time it left a mark on her heart.
She told The Washington Post, "Divorce is horrible.
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
I don't think it's anything that's ever completely resolved....
I can usually tell when a woman is going through a divorce because they look so gaunt and tired
and sad.
It's just a huge sadness.
It's horrible.
It's like death.
You mourn, but the person's still there."
She's feeling better about those lost loves now, but she still doesn't plan to take a
third trip down the aisle any time soon.
She told Town and Country, "I'm in an unusual stage right now, because I haven't dated in
so long.
The sense of isolation turns it all into a bigger deal.
Just taking the risk of opening that door is really hard for me right now."
In other words, she's steering clear of the long-term relationship scene right now, which
might have something to do with her face not being plastered all over gossip headlines
anymore.
Taking care of business
The reason MacDowell seems so ageless is that she's committed to keeping herself in shape.
She told ABC that she does at least one hour of exercise every day, saying, "If I miss
a day, I'm not as happy.
I definitely feel it."
She's also been flexing her fame muscle to guide her daughters into their careers in
front of the cameras.
Her two girls, Margaret and Rainey Qualley, have decided to step into show business, despite
MacDowell's attempt to steer them away.
She told Town & Country Magazine, "I tried to talk them into doing something less stressful.
Because while what I do is beautiful, it's not easy.
But I do like the idea of Margaret doing some stage training while she's still young which
I didn't do."
The training paid off, as Margaret has a recurring role on HBO's The Leftovers, which she films
in between her college career at NYU.
Rainey on the other hand, is a budding country music star, who has already made a splash
on the airwaves.
Rainey moved to Nashville in pursuit of her passion, and her mom is just "fired up about"
that development.
Rainey, who was named Miss Golden Globe 2012, is also a talented actress who landed a sexy
role on a 2015 episode of Mad Men.
Back to work
While it seems that MacDowell has been relatively absent in recent years, she's actually been
working very quietly.
She appeared in Freeform's 2012 series Jane by Design before snagging the lead in The
Hallmark Channel's Cedar Cove for three seasons.
She's been trying to keep herself involved in cheerier screen opportunities.
"I'm a really sensitive person, so when I watch TV that's super dark.
I get agitated.
I get upset.
I get disturbed.
I can't sleep."
Even though her starring series have ended, she still seems ready to return to primetime
again sooner than later.
As she told The U.K.'s Express, "One of the reasons I didn't really want to do TV earlier
in my career was because it is so life-consuming and I wanted to spend time with my kids and
be a mother.
I didn't want to leave them.
But as soon as my youngest daughter finished high school, I started thinking it would really
be great.
It was all timing."
So, don't be surprised if you see Andie MacDowell's name attached to the next big network pilot
in the near future because she's ready.

Hello

Ancestry DNA Results | Where are we REALLY from?! | African? Persian? - Duration: 11:28.
oh there you go!
I'm a bit African as well! oh Caz! where?
hey guys! so as you would've guess from the title, we have had our DNA tested! yeah so
we always get asked about where we're from.
We recently did a video revealing that I'm Iranian or Persian and Caz is Ghanaian! but
now we've teamed up with Ancestry.com to take this to the next level!
We have had our DNA tested and we're going to reveal the detail breakdown of exactly
where we're from according to our DNA! so I'm going first!
I know!
I'm kind of excited! like I dunno!
Let's just do it!
ok guys we've got it on the laptop! so ok alright! oh my god! there's like different
stuff!
I'm not 100% one thing!
I just like saw a pie chart! so there is a pie chart that I thought was going to be 100%
of one thing but it's not! so I'm actually really excited! um oh my god! ok how do I
click into this? you've gotta click there! so guys high level apparently I am 82% Ghanaian/
Ivorian!
14% from Benin and 4% other! so do you think the 4% is going to be somewhere in Africa
or!
I feel like I'm going to be 100% African! yeah I mean there's a chance Ghana was colonized
so you never know! but I feel like I'm 100%.
Ok let's do this!
oh wow! alright guys!
I'm going to bring this up!
Like I said I'm 82% Ghanaian/ Ivorian! it makes sense!
They're right next to each other! yeah ok I kind of got that!
I expected that! so like I said I;m 14% from Benin/ Togo! wow I'm 3% from Mali!
I wasn't expecting that! that's so different!
I am 1% south central! what is that though?
I'm 1% African/south central! or which is what exactly? so it is anything from South
Africa to Namibia 2% Botswana which is like really spaced out! they're really far apart!
but I'm 1% random other Africa! so you thought it was going to be all West Africa!
I'm surprised!
I mean it's only a little amount! um ok guys!
I guess I am 100% African! um which is what I expected! um but what else is really cool
about Ancestry.com is it's not just testing your like DNA! it's also connecting you to
other people who have had their DNA tested! so I'm about to jump into the family section!
so hopefully they're going to match me with like cousins! or second cousins! or something
like that! who have also taken the test, which is really exciting!
I feel like it would be really cool if you were adopted or something and you would find
out so much about who you are and where you're from!
Anyways let's see if I've got some cousins! wow I have 14 4th cousins! oh wow you can
see that! you can actually see their photos there as well! which is very cool!
I'm actually super excited! so it gives you a rating of how closely you are related to
them as well! so it goes from really strong!
100% that we are related! so you can send that person a message now! oh wow! if you
are my fourth cousins, expect to receive a message from me!
wow this is amazing! you can tell that this person you can go through their background
as well!
I'm super excited, super pumped because the Persian empire back in the day span across
Asia, Africa and Europe so I could be anything and anything in between right! let's get into
it!
what do you think you are though?
well I'm going to say majority Middle Eastern of course! bit of Asian perhaps! like what
kind of Asian?
I dunno! and maybe a bit of European! ok let me click on this!
