Waching daily Dec 21 2017

(murmuring)

- (humming) I think that there's this beautiful tribal thing

that happens when you put a record on

and it moves in a circle, and I think that it's hypnotizing.

(rustling)

(energetic rock music)

It's hypnotizing in a funny way, but I think

that there is actually something there that's happening.

(energetic rock music) (murmuring)

It has a magic that you don't get

from plugging in your phone or playing a cd.

It's just, I think something about it's very human.

It spins and we look at it like little kids.

(energetic rock music)

(click)

(pleasant soulful music)

My name is Raoul Benavides,

and I'm the owner of Flashlight Vinyl.

What I love about records is that

my clients are all over the place,

18 year old dj to a 60 year old Beatles collector,

and every mom, and dad, and everybody in between.

This store is a library.

It houses memories in time, these artists making music.

I don't think, I'm tryin' to think, I think it's permanent.

I think that younger people

are connecting to it more and more.

Because they're making a night out of it.

They'll put a record on, and have a party,

and everyone will be around the music and the record.

It's like going to the theater.

(click)

(pleasant vintage music)

I think it's coming back because people wanna own the music.

I think a lot of people bought and downloaded music

via iTunes or whatever, and they realized

that they don't even own it,

they're not owning anything physical.

And I think that we live in a disconnected world

that people are interested in being tactile,

holding onto stuff and touching it,

and being connected to the art of the record.

You know, it's like a 12 inch piece of artwork.

Well, and the experience is multiple layers,

and I think that's what makes it beautiful.

That's what separates it from other things.

You put a tape in, the tape's doing it.

You put a record on, first of all,

at the end, it's gonna tell you that it's over

by either keep going and skipping

or keep going and hitting the label, that. (hissing)

But it keeps you present.

- (humming) Well, I think in the digital world

it becomes more of a soundtrack or a background noise.

I mean, it's still entertaining to people,

(clacking) but I don't think

people may be as focused on the music

if they're just putting on an iPad and

walking around, or doing the dishes, or ya know.

I don't think people gather around the laptop

to, like, check out music together,

'cause that's not the same kind of ritual thing, you know.

(moves into pretty music)

- I think everyone gets overwhelmed and no one listens.

I think that listening

is a really difficult thing in 2017, 2018.

Oh well, I think that the magic of record stores

is that you get all of these people of like interests.

There's that collective magic.

You know, the beautiful thing about going to a concert

is that you have this collective joy.

Everyone is like "Oh, yeah!

"Oh, this song, I love this song."

And they singing, everyone is in one place.

And then people come to record stores.

If it's busy and there

is enough energy in the room, that happens too.

I'll put a record on downstairs,

and everbody'll be like "Oh, I love this song!"

How did Internet and Cable Companies Get Regional Monopolies in the United States? - Duration: 10:50.

>> ALEX: Hey guys, I'm here watching some South Park, let's get technical.

The cable provider that allows me to see this episode of South Park on my TV right now is

Comcast.

If, instead of wanting to watch South Park, I wanted to watch, say, BoJack Horseman, on

Netflix or Bo Burnham on YouTube, I'd need to use an internet connection provided to

me by Comcast.

Comcast is my only option for my cable provider or my ISP, and, if you live in America,

you probably don't many options either.

The Federal Communications Commission reports that 96% of Americans have 2 or fewer options

when it comes to cable broadband ISPs.

A matter of fact, people have even made maps on what your ISP likely is based on the state

you live in.

Not to mention, with all of the Net Neutrality stuff going on right now, it's got me thinking,

how did we even get here in the first place?

Today, let's answer How Internet and Cable Companies got Regional Monopolies in the United

States.

To find out, let's do some time traveling.

>> ALEX ON SET: In 1948, the first cable systems in the US were put into place in parts of

Arkansas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, but cable didn't really take off until the 1970s and

80s.

Why'd it take so long for it to get popular?

2 reasons.

First, the FCC put a ton of restrictions on cable in its early years because og broadcast

networks felt threatened by cable companies.

me just sitting there.

AAH!!

Before cable, networks themselves would just send a signal to your TV, but, when cable

came along, networks viewed them as a middleman who stole their shows and then forced people

to pay for content they were already getting.

So, after a lot of complaining, the FCC eventually put in rules to restrict cable.

And a lot of them.

So the FCC won't let me be, let me be me so let me see.

And cable did see.

*OFF SCREEN* Wait what does that mean?

I don't know, I'm just trying to make a good transition.

In 1972, after the public voiced disapproval of all the cable regulations, the FCC started

to loosen those regulations.

This was the first reason cable took off in the 70s.

The other?

Well, it was actually HBO... but it wasn't their programming, it was their technology.

HBO was also founded in 1972, and they took advantage of the loosening of

FCC restrictions, specifically, the 1975 ruling that cable companies could use satellites

for their broadcasting.

This tech would work by sending a signal from a satellite to massive 30-foot dish-shaped

antennas across the country, which would then send the signals through the cables and to

your home.

HBO was the first to take advantage of this new technology when they broadcast the Muhammad

Ali vs Joe Frazier fight. The fight took place in Manila, but it was broadcast to the entire world.

It really was a Thrilla in Manila...

And not just because the title was literally Thrilla in Manila.

The fight was huge success, which meant HBO wanted to do more of that.

So naturally they sued FCC, which resulted in even more loosening of restrictions.

These 2 factors spurred the growth of cable.

In 1960s, cable only had around 850,000 US subscribers, but, at the end of the 1980s,

cable had 53,000,000 US subscribers.

To put that in perspective, that's a 62x increase, that's going from only the silver

play button to PewDiePie level.

The huge growth led to Congress passing the Cable Communications Act of 1984.

This is where our story begins.

Cable Communications Act of 19... you know, that way too long of a name.

Let's just call it the...

CCA.

The CCA did a lot of things, but, most importantly, it gave cities themselves the authority to

create exclusive partnerships between their city and cable companies.

Basically, cities would strike up deals with cable companies like this...

>> COMCAST: Heeeey there, beautiful San Francisco!

>> SAN FRANCISCO: Stop pandering.

>> COMCAST: Ok.

How about we make a little dealsy?

We're willing to wire your entire town.

That's right, every corner, every house gets cable.

It's huge selling point for your town, plus current residents will LOVE it.

>> SF: Ooh, I do like that.

But wait a sec, what's in it for you?

>> COMCAST: *mumbling* Eeeeh, you know, you'll give us a complete monopoly over the city

for, like the next 12-15 years.

Don't worry, this essential though, we need this time to properly build out the cable

lines, and make sure, you know, we're the ones doing it.

>> SF: Well obviously that plan seems great and not like it will blow up in our

face later.

We accept!

Good doing business with ya.

Cable companies would go around snatching up monopolies over cities, creating the birth

of the oligopoly we have today.

Unfortunately, when Congress realized the damage they did with the CCA, it was too late.

In 1992, Congress passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act, making

those sorta monopoly deals illegal, but, at that point, it was too late to fix the damage

or even change anything.

Why?

Let me tell ya about it!

The cable industry now had something called a natural monopoly.

What is that?

*OFF CAMERA* It's when you make a monopoly board out of only compostable parts.

Yea-- Wait, what?

No.

There are two types of costs that are relevant to our discussion: fixed costs and marginal

costs.

Fixed costs are costs that stays consistent, they don't change depending on how many

customers you have, and it's essential to have whatever you're spending your fixed

costs on, even if you only have 1 customer.

Among many other things, the biggest fixed cost in the cable industry is, well, the cables.

You gotta lay them down, no matter how many customers you get.

Then, on the other hand, we have marginal costs.

This is how much it costs hook up another person with your product.

This cost is not necessarily consistent, it can change depending on the scale of your

company.

For the cable industry, that cost is pretty small.

I mean, they have to send out a cable box and whatnot, but that's not crazy expensive.

A natural monopoly is when an industry has an extremely high fixed cost, but a much lower,

fairly consistent marginal cost.

Elaborating on what I previously said, it's crazy expensive to lay cables down and give

a city your internet and TV access, but it's pretty consistently cheap to send out cable

boxes and for the occasional technician to come to your home.

To really bring this explanation home, let's take a look at an example.

You live in the city totallylegitcityopolous, where, because of the laws previously mentioned,

you only 1 ISP: Time Warner Cable.

You want to change that, so you start a new cable company.

What do you have to do to actually sell internet?

Well, you first you have get a ton of permits.

It's tricky and long, but assuming you can do that, then comes the hard part: you have

to lay down cable.

You can't use the cable that's already there, those are Charter's Cables.

They laid 'em down, and they own 'em.

Unfortunately, as you might expect, laying down cable is very expensive.

You have a massive fixed cost.

I couldn't find one exact magical number on how much it does cost to lay down cable,

but I did find this chart from the US Department of Transportation, makes me think it's somewhere

between 21,000 and 52,000 dollars per mile, which is, oooh, lemme just say, you could

get a lot of comically large coffee cups for the money.

At this point, you have one of two options.

You could either realize you don't have enough money and call it quits, or somehow

get enough money together to lay down cables, and then, well, try to make a profit.

Most of the city already on Charter, which means you'd have to offer lower prices

then them just to get only around 10-20 percent of the population of the city on your plan,

according to Gizmodo.

Moreover, Charter would see that some customers are leaving, so they drop their

prices even lower than yours to get people to come back, and yes, that does provide a

temporary relief to consumers, you know, competition brings pricing that benefits buyers, but,

sooner or later, you're gonna run out of business because you have too few customers

paying too low a price. Charter's gonna going to go back to being a monopoly, prices

rise, and we're back to where we started.

In this scenario, your cable startup took a massive loss, and it's the reason why

no one or, at least, very few people, attempt to compete with existing cable companies.

No one wants to suffer to that outcome, and, thus, a natural monopoly is formed.

Heck, cable companies themselves aren't even willing to compete with each other.

John Oliver pointed this out in his segment on Net Neutrality a couple years ago when

he showed this clip of Comcast CEO Brian Roberts talking about the issue at the re/code code conference.

>> BRIAN ROBERTS: Both in video and in broadband, we don't compete with Time Warner.

You have to start with that very fundamental point.

They're in New York, we're in Philadelphia.

They're in LA, we're in San Francisco.

You can't buy a Comcast in New York, you can't buy a Time Warner in Philadelphia.

>> ALEX: Anyways, now that we've covered what a natural monopoly is, let's jump back to where we

left off: the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.

So now, if you're the cable industry, and you're just hit with tighter regulation,

what do you do?

MERGE!

Merge like crazy.

Merge to your heart's content.

This Quartz article does a really good job of illustrating the mergers, but, long story

short, in 24 years, between 1993 and 2017, cable companies merged so much that what was

previously 40 cable companies merged into just THREE!

Charter, Comcast, and Cox.

So, where do we go from here?

Let's talk about Net Neutrality.

This is Ajit Pai.

He's the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and recently, he voted to repeal

Net Neutrality.

>> AJIT PAI: The chair votes aye. The item is adopted with editorial privileges given as granted as requested.

For those unaware, Net Neutrality is the concept that ISPs must provide access to everything

on the internet regardless of where it comes from.

Essentially, ISPs can't play favourites when deciding what content to deliver to you.

In the same way the local water company can't say "Hey, using our water for toilets will

be an extra $9.99 a month," net neutrality blocks ISPs from saying "Hey, using our

internet for YouTube will be an extra $9.99 a month."

That's the brief explanation, click the i to see a longer Vi Hart video explaining

it more.

Ajit Pai believes that eliminating Net Neutrality, among other things, will encourage competition

and more choices for consumer.

But, we know that's not true, because we just saw how ISPs got and maintained these

monopolies.

Eliminating net neutrality isn't going to magically change that.

A matter of fact, the only reason net neutrality laws exist at all is because there is no competition.

If ISPs didn't have regional monopolies in the US, then competition and capitalism

would encourage ISPs to not throttle or block internet, because, if they did, you could

just switch to a competitor who didn't.

Luckily, just because the FCC rolled back net neutrality, it doesn't mean the fight

is over.

As the famous battleforthenet.com says, "Congress [can] stop this—by passing a "Resolution

of Disapproval" to overturn the FCC vote."

So if you're interested in telling Congress your thoughts, click the i to check out battleforthenet.com.

And maybe... one day... we can get Jack to legally change his name to LitFam.

*short pause* And save the free and open internet, that's important too.

I also wanna quickly note before I end that I recognize that this is kinda a United States-specific

problem, so, if you're international, let me know what cable companies and ISPs are

like in country in the comments down below.

I talked with some of my YouTube friends from other countries, and it's really interesting

to see how it all compares.

DFTBA, and explore on.

>> ETHAN: Mr. Pie in the Face has basically ascended to anime super villain at this point.

You're a partisan hack, dude!

>> AJIT PAI: That's just, like, your opinion man.

We good?

Thanks guys!

Anyone have my coffee?

Hey check out this sponsor transition!

To access the internet, you may need a phone, and if you have a phone, you know what you

need?

Henri Hotel Hamburg. The Trendiest Hipster Hotel in Town? - Duration: 2:50.

In this video you're going to learn about a hip, happening and slightly

unusual hotel in Hamburg. Hi I'm Gary Bembridge of Tips for Travellers. I'm going

to show you around the Henri Hotel in Hamburg. It's a really unusual hotel, and

it's definitely for those of you who like something a little bit unusual,

something a little bit trendy, something a little bit maybe even hipstery! It's

in a great location. It's pretty central and within easy walking distance of

things like the City Hall, big shopping areas, the Metro. Great location. Very

quiet location. It's housed in what is a rather unattractive building in many

ways. It looks like an old sort of office block, and inside it really is a little

bit unusual. You have the reception area, which is a big lounge area and it

has an "honesty bar" restaurant where you basically choose food and

write it onto a sheet of paper and hand that in. It has a great breakfast, huge

choice of breakfast. So let's talk a little bit about the rooms. I was up

on the third floor, in room 305. And this here is the room. As you

can see, again like it was downstairs, it's a little bit unusual. I actually

had twin beds, but of course many of the other rooms do have double beds. As

you can see it's done in a sort of a retro trendy decor and feel to it. So

lots of Browns. The beds, I must say, are very comfortable indeed. As you can

see it's a fairly decent sized room. It's not a massive room. You've got a

television across there with lots and lots of channels. Also in the room there

is a desk to work at. It's a perfectly adequate size desk, perfectly

fine. You've got tea and coffee making facilities

and a refrigerator where you can store drinks etc. It doesn't have a

built-in minibar as such. In terms of storage, not huge amount of storage but

certainly plenty if you here for a couple of days. Now the bathroom is sort

of within the room, so it's not a separate room in its own right. You've

got a very nice basin, you've got a separate toilet facility -

which gives you much more privacy, and then you've got a really

good decent sized shower. Another good thing: there's lots of plug sockets around

the room so for plugging things like laptops. It's really handy for that.

So there you are, this is room 305 in the Henri hotel in Hamburg. It

feels very different to traditional hotels. So if you looking for something a

little bit more unusual, but again with a great location,

the Henri hotel is definitely something to consider. Hopefully you've found that

tour of the Henri hotel in Hamburg helpful. I'd love it if you liked the video

if you do give it a "like", and very importantly though subscribe to Tips For

Travellers on YouTube and get more travel inspiration, advice and tips.

The Energetic Shift in Consciousness – Finding the Courage - Duration: 7:57.

The Energetic Shift in Consciousness � Finding the Courage to Evolve

By Rachel Horton White

The energy right now is that of a pulling in, a going inward. This is partially due

to Mercury retrograde and largely due to the seismic energetic shift in consciousness and

collective awakening happening all over the planet.

We are being confronted with our shadows. We are being asked to make choices. And our

choices matter. Do we choose to look at our phones or spend time with our children? Do

we pick up a piece of trash on the ground, or walk on by, assuming that it�s not our

problem? Do we smile or offer a kind word or gesture, to the homeless person we pass

by on the street, or do we walk on by, pretending not to see them?

Yes, these small moments do matter. Even if it seems that no one is looking � our souls

are.

What will you choose? Will you listen to your inner voice nudging you to live how you long

to live? Or will you give in to fear and worry about being different/ crazy/weird/alone/penniless?

We are facing our deepest fears and we are being asked to confront them once and for

all. It�s time to release them so we can fully expand into who we really are. Our souls

are longing to come out and be free.

Oh, yes, it is like peeling back the layers of an onion, working through years of programming

and conditioning at the hands of institutions trying to keep us feeling small, afraid and

completely oblivious to our incredible, magical powers (like healing the sick by just sending

light to someone suffering � similar to Jesus or any other mystical healer).

No one said this would be easy. Even though our natural state as humans is joy, it�s

not supposed to be easy all the time. (Remember, we set this up for ourselves as part of our

soul contracts.) Otherwise, how would we grow? After all, our mission with each subsequent

lifetime is to improve, to evolve.

So what will it be? It takes courage. It takes a lot of courage. I consider myself to be

a pretty brave person, but I have been confronting my shadow sides too, and it takes a lot of

inner discipline, faith, patience and trust in my higher guidance (I�ve been spending

time in the Akashic Records).

Here are a few things that might help you in your release and expansion. Some of them

may surprise you.

Stop trying so much. Yes, that�s right. Just for a while. Just

allow yourself to be present and stop trying. Enjoy the feeling of the sun on your face.

Spend time with those you love (children and animals are especially wonderful). Yes, do

visualize what you want your life to be like. Write it down. But then forget about it. Trying

too hard to make something happen is based in a state of lack. And that vibration of

lack cannot align with a vibration of plenty. It�s about, of course, raising your vibration,

but it�s not about to be trying to live for the future all of the time, as if you�re

not perfect just as you are (because you are perfect! You�re always expanding, just like

the universe, but you�re also perfect). So just relax and live.

Get information. Gather resources (videos, articles, websites)

to help you understand what is happening to the Earth, to us humans and to you in your

life. It will trigger something within you that already knows. You will remember what

you have forgotten upon incarnation in your human body. This includes learning about truth

and the reality that we have been living in for thousands of years. But be discerning

in what you find on the internet. Many websites are based in fear, and if an article/site

causes fear, it is not based in love and is not for your highest good. Find resources

that resonate with you and uplift you, and that you can digest (even though it may be

difficult to grasp and fully absorb as much of the information that is shocking � beyond

what you have ever experienced before).

Process your emotions. Once we really see what�s been done to us,

it is very easy to get angry. And to go through the stages of grief, really. Denial, anger,

bargaining are three that many people are going through. Hopefully depression is a temporary

phase. I have noticed that sometimes people who awaken can get stuck in one phase, like

anger, or maybe depression. So talk about it, move your body, scream/run/write/sing

whatever it is that feels like you can express, release and hopefully move on from the emotion.

Eventually, you might just reach acceptance.

Develop your intuitive gifts, which we all have.

By tapping into your intuition, and to the spirit realm, you will receive a level of

guidance, support, encouragement and helpful information for any area of your life. Like

having your own personal team of coaches/therapists/best friends at your disposal whenever you need

them! I personally love angels, since they are pure love, connected directly to the highest

Source of love that there is (God or whatever term you choose). And they protect me from

any negative, lower energies (hence why I am writing these words now to you). And the

realm of Spirit is already speaking to you anyway � it�s that quiet whisper nudging

you to do good. When you begin to hone that ability to hear, listen to and trust your

support team, your life will unfold. They so badly want to connect with us, we just

need to hone our ability to hear/see/understand them, and then just ask for their help! You

can do this by simply imagining light in your heart, like a glowing ball, every day, and

expanding that light from the top of your head into the Earth, a pillar of light. This

light carries healing, and it carries information (downloads of Divine universal knowledge to

start).

And then actually listen to and trust your intuition.

This is easier said than done. Believe me, I have spent lots of time trying to get answers

from someone else. And sometimes it really helped. But after getting lots of psychic

readings and personal coaching, I realized that I was seeking confirmation of what I

already know. It�s just that I wasn�t trusting my intuition. Now I am and I am listening

to their advice and guidance. And often that advice is completely opposite from what the

�experts� tell me to do. Deep down, we all know better what is right for us than

anyone else can.

It�s a strange and wonderful time to be alive. Yes, there will be some who choose

a path of fear, and to them the reality may look no different than it does now. But for

others, who choose a path of courage, their reality will be one of freedom. Freedom from

limitations, freedom from confining patterns, freedom from damaging thoughts and emotions

and freedom to expand, heal, love and share. It�s exciting to think what the world will

be like for our children. It truly is a time unlike any other. Step into the flow, and

experience the magic!

Bookshelf Reorganization - Duration: 17:10.

Hi guys. So today I'm going to reorganize my bookshelf, organize my bookshelf.

I feel like my bookshelves are kind of a mess and it isn't really apparent to

other people, but it's like one of those things where I know that my bookshelves

are not in order. I mean, for the most part they're okay. I'm just being

extremely picky because I like my bookshelves to be organized. But yeah, I'm

going to do a quick rundown of the way that I organize my books just in case

you haven't watched my bookshelf tour from last year. I'm not gonna do a full

bookshelf tour this year probably. I'll just do another rundown once I'm done

organizing. But yeah, let me show you how I've set this up in case you weren't

aware. This shelf, this shelf, the shelf are all of my nonfiction. And part of the

reason why I feel like my bookshelves are a mess is because I have these piles

that are sitting on my shelves. So this is just literally-- well, this is a book I

had sitting on the side because I picked this up for nonfiction November or I picked

it out as a possible for nonfiction November and just never put it back on

my TBR pile. This is a book I recently got when I went to go see Joe Biden.

If you watched my day in the life video, you would have seen me talking about that.

That's his new book. It came with the ticket to the event. And so literally I

just threw it on my shelf because I need to get it out of whatever way it was in

before. These are all of my library books that I pulled to the side for the read

harder challenge. There's a very good chance I'm not going to read any of

these and it's kind of like stressing me out

right now. So I might just go put these somewhere else so they're not constantly

looking at me. These are the books I've currently finished. This is a pin that

was sitting on my backpack. Isn't this adorable?

I got this from Etsy. But that's a complete side note. But it fell off

my backpack and I just stuck it there. And there are my glasses or at least a

pair of my glasses. Obviously I have a pair on my face. This is my comics and

graphic novel section. Those are like keepsakes in this thing. It's like my

newspapers from college as well as Milwaukee magazine where I interned for

a semester. I have my copy of Shakespeare from college. That's just extremely heavy

so I keep it on that bottom shelf so it doesn't bend my other shelves because I

just have cheap IKEA bookshelves. These are like the handful

of kids books that I have from when I was younger. These are all of my

mass-market paperbacks that I just put here cause they look so nice together in a

nice small stack. Alright and then all of this is my fiction shelf. This is not too

bad but it is a little messy. So this pile of books are all of the books that

the last time I organized my bookshelves I didn't put these in. I don't know how

but I somehow missed all of my Nick Hornby books. Like I put them all to the

side and then I never put them back. And I realized it after I was done that I

hadn't put them back. A couple of those are books that I had just gotten after I

had organized my bookshelves. Those Tana French's are ones that my sister

borrowed and she had them for like at least a year. So that's why they never

got put in. This shelf is not too bad. Those books covers that are sitting on

the top or actually books that have been borrowed by my friends. And the way I

organize my bookshelves, I didn't even say that, is obviously into these genres.

But then I kind of base it on the last name of the author but I also organize

things by height as you can tell as well so they just like look neat on my bookshelves.

And then over here are mostly my unread books.

I like-- oh this is really bothering me.

They've been bothering me for days. Just gonna turn that and then turn this so that way

all my spines are pointing out. So yeah, I keep all of my unread books on the top

of this dresser so that way I can see them all the time. And then if I can see

them then I'm more likely to read them. This stack, some of these are read, some of

these are unread. These are the books I recently posted in my book haul. And then

these are all the books I read in November that I didn't bother to put

away because I knew I was going to be reorganizing my bookshelves. So I was

like, hey, there's no point in putting them away. So this is my dresser and in

some of these drawers are books. So these are basically organized. These don't

really get messed up very much because they're kind of like hidden away in a

don't pull from them very often unless I'm letting someone borrow books. But

yeah, it's just more fiction books mostly organized by author. There's like more

hidden in the back. So this one's full up. This one is basically

full up. This is basically the end of the alphabet here, as you can tell, brief

overview on my books. Again more in the back. I'm not gonna show you because

pulling this out all the way makes me slightly concerned that it's going to break.

This drawer is the final drawer where I have books. But these are actually just

all of the books I read this year. So what I do is generally I go through and

I organize my bookshelves once a year. And then I take whatever the last drawer

is in my dresser and then I just start putting in the books that I read that

year in that drawer. And then at the end of the year again I just go through the

drawer and I started putting them wherever they're supposed to belong.

But I really like how all of my book of the month books look in this drawer. Like

isn't this so pretty? So yeah, I think what I need to do now is start pulling

out these books and putting them close to where they need to be. And then I can

start figuring out how to reorganize my bookshelves. But before I do that I'm

going to take a picture of this and post it on Instagram because it looks great.

All right. So that wasn't too bad.

But that wasn't the hardest part yet either. So what I did is I basically took all

the books and I put them like approximately where they would go on the

shelf if I had like the room to just stick them on the shelf at the moment.

So you can see like I've added piles. Well, that was already there. But like there

are more books. This is looking to be like the crazy part right here. Down here

are just like approximations. Like these could go in the bottom shelf or they

could potentially be moved into my dresser. And then I have like this giant

stack here which is all like stuff in the latter half of the alphabet that I

know is for sure is gonna go with my dresser just because of the way you know

the alphabet works. My goal now is to start putting this stuff in my shelves.

There's a couple of concerns I have. One is that my like nonfiction bookshelf or

shelves fit perfectly on three. I have a feeling they're gonna spill over into

four. So if they spill over into four I don't know what I'm going to do. I've

been thinking about this for a long time and I still haven't figured out what I'm

gonna do. Like part of me is thinking like I can start migrating these

magazine racks. It might be helpful if I showed you what I'm talking about.

These magazine racks have single issue comics in them. I'm thinking like what if

I just move these to down here because there's plenty of space on this bottom

shelf for those. And then if I mix like my comics and nonfiction.

I don't like the idea of mixing genres though. But I might do it for now. My other option is

just to make this a completely non fiction shelf, have room to grow and then

move my comics somewhere else. But the question is where is that somewhere else

going to be? I might end up doing that though. My other thought like if I do

move my comics then I could like move them to the top of my dresser because

there's not like quite as many of those. So like if I just stack them. Because I

like my comics being on display because they just look nice obviously because

they're a visual medium. So I don't like the idea of like putting them in drawers.

Yeah I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make this a non fiction shelf,

outside of that bottom drawer and move my comics.

I don't feel great about this decision right now

but I think that's just what we're gonna have to deal with because I have too

many books. The struggle. Anyways, so then that's my nonfiction shelf. So my

fiction itself shelf obviously there's like no room here for more books. So what

I think I'm going to have to do is just like start moving more letters of the

alphabet into my dresser drawers. And that's fine. I mean, I've had books in my

dresser drawers for a while now so I'm used to that. I'm just a little sad that

more books have to be hidden away. But that's fine. More surprises for people.

The greatest thing about having people come over to my house or coming into my room

is like showing them my bookshelf and them being like oh my gosh you have so

many books. And then I'm like oh yeah by the way there's more in the drawer and then

their faces are like what? Some of them are like what are you a crazy person? Some of them

were like what are you a crazy person? But anyway that's a completely

separate tangent. I need to organize my books and I'm currently procrastinating

it by talking to you guys. So let me just get to work.

[Good King Wenceslas plays]

So here's a thing I didn't think about. Daphne Du Maurier.

Do I categorize her as D or M? Pretty sure it's D, right? I'm just going to put it as D. Let's just go with that.

Alright so I finished the nonfiction section. So let me take you through that really quickly.

So a lot didn't change up top except there's just like more space here. I left this big gap

because I got the third volume of this biography series of Eleanor Roosevelt.

If you watch my December? Yeah, book haul you would have seen that. So I left space for it

because I will be reading it soon and then I can just stick it in here to be

with its friends. Just adjusted things so I could fit a couple more books up here.

Moved a bunch of books down and then reorganized them by size. I'm still

not crazy about the way this looks just yet.

But I might just have to move small things around like order wise. Going down,

plenty of space down here. And then even more space down here. It really bothers

me how like wide these are because they don't sit nicely like this.

They would probably sit fine if I stacked them like this. But I figured

since the stack is small right now I can put it up like that. But yeah, plenty

of space here to grow which means clearly I need to buy more non-fiction books.

And then down here: single issue comics, single issue comics, memorabilia.

And then I combined all of these and I double stacked a little bit which is

fine. Because those are like my mass-market paperbacks and other things

like that. I was going to move a couple of those-- Oh nope, maybe I can't keep that

standing up. Anyway I was gonna move some of those mass-market paperback sized

books down here but just decided not to. So now onto the fiction.

which is going to be a lot more work. My biggest issue which I

know I'm going to run into is that this is like my Harry Potter, JK Rowling, To

Kill a Mockingbird shelf. I don't think I'm gonna touch that shelf because

I kind of like how it's organized. Like you can't see. Those are all of my Harry

Potter's and then it has like the Robert Galbraith books and then I have multiple

copies of To Kill a Mockingbird. Oh hey, there's a couple other books back there too.

Maybe I'll take those out. Yeah I'll

probably have to take those out and then I'll probably just stick more of the

Harper Lee books down because eventually I'm gonna get another Robert Galbraith.

I think there's another one coming out in 2018. So I'm gonna have to make space for

that there. So yeah this is gonna be an interesting experience. Guys this is the

only time where I'm like man I have too many books. Well not the only time but

when I feel it the most. Alright we reached the point in the book shelf

organization where I regret doing this whole thing. I'm sitting awkwardly so that way

there's light on my face. There's literally piles of books

all around me right now. But I did finish the fiction shelf for the most part. But now

I have to move onto the dresser drawers, which I can do it. I'm half way through

the alphabet. I did it. I started listening to a podcast while organizing

my bookshelf. I highly recommend it or an audiobook. Whatever you like to

listen to. But I reorganized all my books. I'm going to do a quick rundown of how

things are set up now. I'm not gonna do, like I said, an individual bookshelf tour

but you can get a general sense of my shelves. And if you have any questions

about any of the books, leave them down in the comment section and I will do my

best to answer them. Okay up top: memorabilia and tigers. I had to

reorganize this one because I forgot to put my Chernow books back in here.

Nonfiction. This is basically A through C.

This is C through K. This is basically K through

S. Ignore these two books because they are obviously like I said

earlier the books that I read so far this month so I can

keep them from my wrap-up. I decided to mix my comics and nonfiction books. I was

going to move them to my unread shelf but I really just did not like that.

And then down here that stayed the same. Single issues, mass-market paperbacks,

Shakespeare. Alright up top we have basically my A shelf. The only reason why

the Michael Chabon book is out here is because i forgot to put it away and I

realized it way too late. And it's nice enough looking that I don't mind if it

faces outward. So yeah, that's just what's going to happen. But basically all of the

books that are here are authors with the last name of a except for a couple of

Bs. This is more As and Bs and possibly Cs. Again, obviously Dodie

Smith doesn't belong in this section. But it's too pretty. I'm not gonna put it

away in my drawers. And just in case you are wondering what it looks like

without those books. Tada. Moving on down, we've got the Harry Potter, to kill a

mockingbird, and now catching fire-related shelf.

And so without those two this is what it looks like so. And this is like

completely tight. Like I should probably pull one of these out to put them up top.

But it works for now. Okay and this is like the next part of the alphabet which

is like Ds through H I believe. Down here, I actually really like how the shelf looks.

What am I at? H through K maybe? J? It's probably J. Yeah all those john green's

look really nice together. A bunch of these hardbacks just happened to be all

to the right size, same size. So looks pretty good. Alright and then we have

first drawer, which again is not in exact alphabetical order. It's mostly size

so that way I can maximize the space. But it's basically like K thru M. No it

goes further than M. Maybe O or P. Alright and then drawer 2. It's like Q through S.

The final part of the alphabet which is basically T through Z. But at the end I

have a copy of the Percy Jackson series right there in the corner. Because I put

them to the side to move down a shelf and then I realized when I was done that

I didn't put them away. And instead of trying to reorganize everything again I

just stuck them at the end. It works fine. That's fine. Good enough for me.

Alright so that's everything. I'm very glad that I reorganized my bookshelves.

Oh I didn't show you my TBR shelf. Hold please. That didn't really change much

but yes I will show it to you. Up top. These are all the books that I own that

I need to read at some point. Tada. It's not too bad. It's at like the upper

edge of what I like to have which is around 50 books. But yeah I'm at about 50

books which is like as high as I like it to go. So I definitely need to read some

of these books so I can again start putting them away

and clear off this unread shelf. Now I'm officially done. I'm going to go to bed

now. I'm tired. It's like 9:30 or so. 10 o'clock. I don't even know at this point.

But yeah that's all I have for now. Again if you have any questions on my

bookshelf reorganization or any of the books on my

shelf that you saw, feel free to leave it as a comment down below. And I will see

you guys next time. Bye.

(slow piano tune)

- [Man] As the Holiday party got on the way,

and Jack Frost brought winter to bear,

Grant still couldn't help wondering,

about the true meaning of Christmas.

(cheering)

- Alright, more of a rap than a rock, though.

You know, Christmas.

So, when is the rest of the office gonna get here, alright?

- We didn't invite them.

- What? You rented out this whole bar just for us?

- Yeah, we got this, we got a bunch of billiards tables.

- No, no, no, that's such a waste of money.

We need to be more careful--

- Guys, I know we said that we were not

gonna exchange gifts this year,

but I couldn't help myself.

- You little sweetheart. - Come on, you.

- Giving gifts is the true meaning of Christmas.

- Really?

- Yeah, listen, consumerism eating us alive.

- Allie, give it a rest.

(gasps) - Thank you so much.

Wait, I...

I just got this.

This exact same slow cooker, like a week ago.

- Oh, really? That stinks, that really stinks.

- Wait, you were saying that you really wanted to get one.

- Yeah, I guess I was.

- Dude, just have this one.

(cheering)

That's perfect, right.

- This is the Christmas spirit.

- Yeah. - Here, Trapp.

- Oh wow, you know this is perfect

´cause people keep throwing my laptop around.

- Yes.

- I think it's a little too small for my computer, though.

- Oh!

- You know, if you just give me the receipt,

I can just go exchange it.

- Dang!

Dang! Dang!

The store...

closed.

- Best Buy?

- Yeah, dang!

- [Trapp] All the Best Buys?

- Dang, they're all gone.

So sorry, I guess I'll just have to take it back.

- Sure, yeah all right.

I guess it'll fit your computer better than mine, anyway.

- Here, Grant.

- Beard shampoo?

- Oh, I'm an idiot, you don't have a beard.

- I don't. - You can't even grow one.

- I can't. - 'Cause your weak face.

I'm so sorry.

- Hey Ralph, you're not just getting us gifts

only you can use on purpose, right?

- Absolutely not.

Hey, Katie.

- Oh wow.

What a cool hat.

Yeah, I'll definitely use this.

- That looks great.

- Does it look good on me?

(rasping throat)

- No, that does not work for you.

You look awful.

- It feels great on my head.

And I'm gonna keep it.

- Wait a minute, let me see.

Oh God, no, it looks even worse when I can see it.

Look it has mesh on it.

That's not gonna protect you from the sun.

Don't you have lupus?

- I don't know why you'd bring that up.

Yeah, I have lupus.

- I have to take it back, I'm so bad at this.

- Rekha.

- Doll polish?

- Yeah, for your doll.

- I don't have a doll.

- Am I the only one with a doll?

- Uh-huh.

- None of you has a doll?

- We don't have dolls.

- It's the weirder thing to have a doll.

- I guess I have to take it back.

Grant...

- Now why would I want a replacement part for your glasses?

- If you're gonna be rude I'm just gonna take it back.

Katie, you're up again.

- Black Skin, White Masks: A Guide for only Black Men.

You clearly bought this for yourself.

- I thought you were interested in broadening your horizons.

- It says, "Only Black Men."

I'm not a black man, I can't even look at this.

(Rekha grunts)

- Grant...

- You made a donation in my name

to the Raphael Chestang Foundation.

- It is a really good foundation.

It finds every Raphael Chestang across the globe

and gives him financial independence.

- You donated to yourself.

- I can't help it if I'm the only Raphael Chestang.

That's the name of the foundation.

- Raph, this is ridiculous.

None of these gifts were actually for us.

- Yeah, you can buy stuff for yourself,

just don't call them gifts for us.

(sad music)

- I'm sorry guys.

I just grew up not having enough money to buy myself gifts.

So...

now that I have enough it's all I wanna do,

is buy myself gifts.

I just hope you can forgive me.

- Wow.

Shut up!

- Profound dumbass.

- Children, we don't have jobs.

Elif Episode 629 - Opening Scene | Season 4 Episode 69 (English subtitles) - Duration: 2:00.

We worked with Mr. Bahadır, years ago.

But I'm confident to say that this year's designs are completely different.

As a brand, our goal is to not be repetitive.

Yes, we're seeing that as well.

Every season your company has grown even more.

Thank you.

In fact, we became a preferred brand in foreign markets.

Let's check out our new season catalogue, if you would like.

Sure.

As you can see,

we've chosen different materials for this season.

Our shoes are not only chic, but also very light.

Oh are they?

We took into consideration that working women stand on their heels all day.

Being just chic is not enough, that's a fact.

We also considered orthopedics as an important factor.

Business life is tough enough.

We didn't want to make it even tougher.

You're right.

Long story short,

we didn't want to design shoes to be worn for one or two times in a year,

so we didn't want to make women upset about them being uncomfortable.

And while doing that, we didn't compromise on the factor of beauty.

A pair of shoes, fantastic on the outside, but terrible on the inside...

means nothing to us.

These are sensational designs.

Our visions had been already very similar.

And this is it.

Beautiful pair of shoes!

Which pair is this one?

This model shows them so well.

Fantastic!
