This is stock number 9J221A. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep headquarters. Today we are checking out this Leicnu 2019 Jeep Cherokee limited high altitude. This vehicle has the two liter turbocharged four cylinder motor, which pumps out 270 horsepower from this HD video. You'll be able to tell that this Jeep is Leicnu all the way around, only 313 miles on this vehicle, but we still like doing the videos that you can get a really good representation of the vehicle to see just how clean it is. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, so if you have the HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, or smartphone device, turn them on right now, because it is like you're right here looking at the vehicle with me. No dents or dings down this side comes with the granite crystal painted alloy rims. No scuffs or scrapes on that rim, and it has the Bridgestone Duler 23550 R19 tires. These tires are Leicnu, like I said, only 313 original miles on this vehicle. White pearl is the color, comes with the LED fog lamps, the LED head lamps, and the LED running lights. You get the granite crystal front grille trim, as well as the Jeep lettering painted as well. No dents, dings, or scuffs on that front bumper. Absolutely perfect. Passengers side fender, absolutely perfect. And the passengers side rim, no scuffs or scrapes on that. As you go down this side of the vehicle, you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. And we do take these videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close by, and just cannot make the trip down, you can still see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. No dents or dings on the roof. And once again down this side, no dents, no dings, very, very nice. These are just shots you can't get with traditional photos. No scuffs or scrapes back there, and you can see this tire has all the tread left, still has the little wear knobs on it. Because once again it only has 313 miles. Has the capitalist fuel fill, which is a really nice feature. Never gonna get gas on your hands again. Has the backup parking sensors. Dual rear exhaust, no dents or dings back here. It has the LED tail lamps. And you can really get a good idea of that granite crystal Jeep lettering there. Has a power lift gate. Back storage area is very nice and clean. Has factory subwoofer. Also has the spare tire and jack tools underneath here. And then it has the power lift gate button and those back seats do fold down, which we'll check out in just a second. Press that button. It'll beep at you three times and then come on down. No dents or dings on this rear quarter. And for full disclosure, this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Very, very clean down this side. It does have the heated power mirrors with the built-in blind spot monitoring and heated mirrors and directional signals. Has the enter and go system. So if you have the keys in your pocket, put your hand in there, it'll automatically unlock.  Both of these seats are power, both of these seats are heated. Has the driver side lumbar factory floor mats throughout. And it has auto headlamps, as well as that power lift gate button, power windows, power locks, power mirrors and a memory driver seat. As we hop inside here, you can see that this Jeep has only 314 miles as a compass outside temperature display and a digital speedometer. Has the heated leather wrap steering wheel. No scuffs or scrapes on that. Cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left. And it has audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Comes with the 8.4 4C touchscreen radio, which means it has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. This one also has the factory navigation included on it. You can do your heated seats right there as well as your heated steering wheel. You can check out your backup camera right there. And it also has AMFM and Sirius XM radio capabilities, which the Sirius still works right now. Has the stability control. The start stop feature right there has your active drive one select terrain, auto snow sports sand mud, it's part of your four wheel drive system and has Augs and USB jack, as well as the nine speed automatic transmission. Ascender seat and floor mat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on that. This Jeep has never been smoked in, smells absolutely perfect inside. Yeah, your map lights up there as well as your home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. And finally you have the SOS and assist buttons in the mirror, which are features of the vehicle that you never have to pay a subscription for. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we will check out under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats as you'd imagine with only 314 miles on it. No rips or tears back here.  They got side curtain airbags on the front seats. These seats do fold down four extra storage and it's nice to go almost completely flat. Really nice feature if you've got a haul of a bunch of extra stuff. But very nice and clean back here. Finally, you get cup holders right there and it does have two USBs and two USB C's. I know you can't really see them but they are up there in a 115 bolt, 150 watt plug-in. We'll check out under the hood. I'd personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, hopefully from this HD video. You will have been able to tell just how clean this Jeep is all the way around inside and out. Under the hood, we have the two liter four cylinder turbocharged motor. Like I said, 270 horsepower engine base, very clean runs, very smooth. And this vehicle has been totally safety to inspect by a service shop and as all the fluids have been topped and checked.

Our going, lecturing, gossiping, they are speech activities. How activities become events? This is the topic of this model. Why are we taking lecturing, gossiping as activities? Because they are verbs. If we look at these words, grammatically, they are verbs and verbs are action words. But when we do these speech activities in some situation, these activities become speech events. And when we take them as speech events, they become some entity, some concrete thing. They don't remain action. In other words, grammatically speaking, they become nouns. See this difference. Arguing is verb, but an argument, this is a noun. Now arguing is, arguing is an activity and argument is an event. Similarly, lecturing, this is an activity and a lecture. This is a speech act, speech event. Similarly, gossiping is an activity and gossip session, gossip time. This is a speech event. Now you understand the difference between activity and event. When verbal activities, the activities in which words are involved, we call them verbal activities. The word verb also means word. So in that sense, we are using it here. When verbal activities are speech activities, they are linked with situation, they become events. And when they become events, they have structure. They have beginning, they have middle, they have end. And why do we want to convert speech activities into speech events? Definitely, there would be some benefit for us. That benefit is given here. Each event can be compared. When we turn them into speech events, they get structure. The structure can be compared across communities, across cultures. A comparative study is possible. One speech event is similar to another speech event in the same culture or in different cultures. This is the benefit. Delheim's anthropological language and some people even give him credit to be the father of sociolinguistics. He has given components of speech events. A structure is suggested by him. Some of these components are, first of all, a speech event has social setting. For example, if our speech activity is small talk, it would be done when we are sitting, for example, in a situation like we are waiting at a bus stop.  In this social setting, such kind of talk can be done. Second thing is cultural norms about who says what, when and where. Context means the time, the place and the participants which are involved in a situation of talk. And who says what and how. This is determined by the culture. When you are talking, for example, in classroom with your teacher, your style of talking would be very different from your talk with your classmates. And with your intimate friends. This is what we mean cultural norm. Some speech events are ritualized. Again, here the role of culture is emphasized. For example, a cultural setting tells us how greeting, the speech event of greeting will take place. For example, in our culture, when we greet each other, we say As-Salaam-Alaikum. The other person says Wa-Alaikum As-Salaam. The other person never says As-Salaam-Alaikum. And similarly in other cultures, how are you? And I am fine. Good morning. And the second person also says morning. And in Hindu culture, in Japanese, in Hindu culture, they bind their palms with each other. And in Japanese, they bow to each other. So it varies from culture to culture. And these things are ritualized. They become ritual. The structure of the speech event is also gender. For example, father knows best. Because a research was conducted with this title. So that's why this title is used to show one example of gendering of speech events. Father knows best. This talk takes place when we are at dinner table. Mother or siblings and other people in the family, they sit together. What happens? What is the structure of this speech event? According to our culture, mother begins the talk. She asks the children, tell your work, your daily activities. Today's work especially to your father. They report to the father because they think father knows best. Father judges that you have done well. He appreciates or depreciates according to that. So this is the structure of this speech event. From this, we conclude that every speech community has a set of routine speech events. And the structure of these speech events, how they would begin, how they would end, how they would proceed, this is decided by gender ideology. This is gendering speech event.


Alrighty, so hopefully you enjoyed that drone footage, so I'll go over quickly the drone footage and then we'll go into the construction update. So don't go because it gets really exciting. Well hopefully it's exciting, it's exciting for me. So basically from above you can't really see much from the drone. You can make up the new path and the theming. You can see Lakeside Lagoon and Splashworks really well, that looks awesome. And I always forget how bloody, beautiful Canada's Wonderland looks with all these trees. The park is just gorgeous, especially up here. So I flew my drone, I flew my drone at 8.30 in the morning so there were no guests, don't worry I would never fly my drone during park operating hours. In fact I will not fly my drone like 9am or later. So in this footage you can make out not too much, pretty much like you can see kind of like the footers in the station area and Lakeside Lagoon and just how pretty the park is. This is why my drone will probably go up maybe once a month at most and at 8 in the morning. But this is where it gets really interesting. So I just noticed this, so see that pile on there? Column 81 right, or Column 81 right, sorry. So Column 81 right is on one of these pylons and I didn't notice but the pylons were littered all over the land and they literally mark where footers are going. So based off of this, I searched through a lot of pylons, you're going to see that on this. I have, I think I got up to like 90 something, Column 90 something. So so far all we know is that this coaster is going to have 91 columns so far it could have more but from what I can see, 91 columns and weights you see a ton of rebar was being delivered again. Even more rebar and I do know, I can confirm now that they do make the rebar cages on site. So see those rebar cages? So here you have Column 7 over on the other side. So that's Column 7, that's working Column 7 hasn't been made yet but obviously it's going to be made soon. So their pylons do indicate where footers are going to go which is interesting and I can't believe I didn't clue into that sooner. So this helps with kind of me making a footer map which I'll do, I'll make an updated footer map of where everything's going to go and maybe we can come up with a better layout now. And then I'm going to have Eastern thrills make up a mock coaster prediction with the updated footer map. But this is so exciting. So not only that, they are starting to dig something and why do you see this footage? So I think that one is Column 51 left. If I'm not mistaken, it was really hard to see, it looked like Column 51. There's Column 91 left and this is interesting, Column 51 left was in the station area. So I didn't think the coaster would head back to the station area and then back around but it appears if these pylons are in their right position, which I do think they are, I can't see why they wouldn't be, indicate the footers and that's really interesting to see that Column 51 is kind of near the station area. We do know there's some weird footers over kind of behind Windseeker on the Skyredder Plotoland still, not on Windseeker's Plotoland but behind Windseeker on Skyredder Plotoland. So I was a little weirded out by those and I didn't make sense of those but I guess this kind of helps that so the coaster will eventually head back over here and then head back to Timber Wolf because there's Column 91 on Timber Wolf area. So it's like I'm so confuzzled. This is awesome and it's helping me get a better idea of the coaster layout and I do think this is going to be a really long dive coaster if it's a dive coaster. I was not expecting this many columns. I'm going to quickly and I wish I'd done it before filming this count how many columns were on Val Raven and I couldn't make that one out but that looks like 114 or 104 or 84 right. 84 right it looks like. So that's Column 84 right and that is Column 85 right or left Column 51. So that's Column 51 right or left. So when the when the path opens on Saturday, you know damn well I'm going to be there filming and getting a better shot of columns and where they are. I can't I'm just so excited I figured that out today. So again, I will make a footer map and I will post it to Instagram as soon as I do. So here they are using a water pressure system to dig the holes for the Canadian a theming fence. So the fencing is going in and they were cleaning the land. So all this junk you see on the land was removed while I was filming. So the land has been cleaned and cleared and all objects removed from it, which is interesting in my opinion. I don't know if they're going to lay down sod and then kind of stop construction on this part of land or if they're getting ready to bulldoze. They might be getting ready to bulldoze the land because we I've saw on the station side they bulldoze the land and then did the footers. So that's what they probably are doing that or just getting ready to leave. Now, OK, so this is what I was talking about. So we have a digger in there. It's really deep digging what is definitely at this point, the lift hill. The lift hill is located near my buster right near the station. So I can now tell which I predicted the station has a turn out of the station right near my buster's entrance right there. So there's probably the first part of the turn out of the station heads in right next to the splash pad and splash works and the lift hill will start. I was about to say accelerating accelerating up the lift. So inclining up the lift. And I do know or I have a feeling where the lift hill ends, which you'll see in the next clip. There's the biggest footer on the lot of land and it has the most amount of kind of like connectors, I guess you would call them. Coughed, choked on air, I need to learn how to breathe. The most one of connectors connect to the support. So that's a definitely a high stress moment. And I'm assuming that is the top of the lift. And I think that's a fair assumption from what I've been told. So here you can definitely see again that they're digging the start of the lift. Here comes more rebar cages because, you know, we don't have enough. It's already a massive pile there and even more come after that. So I have no clue what's going on. They're clearly gearing up to do a lot in that area. So obviously the lift is going will not be installed soon, but they're going to be working on it. So this is that footer I was talking about. So again, I'm going to make a really updated footer map. I'm going to do the lift hill measurements and everything because I think I have a very good analysis of where this lift hill is going to be located and how long it's going to be. And using math to figure out how high this could potentially be. As you saw my video yesterday. So here's just some more shots of the beginning of the left hill. Again, it's extremely deep. It's definitely a high stress moment. And just some shots of the station and the turnout of the station right there. So that's going to be a footer. But yeah, what do you guys think? Do you think that what I've been saying about a 270 something foot tall lift hill on this coaster and then a 300 foot drop with the tunnel being about 30 feet deep could be true? Do you honestly think that Canada's one and could be looking at a giga dive or something coaster coming in 2019 because it's really starting to add up and myself was not a full believer in my theories. I was just finding evidence that was a little bit weird to me. And I was just reporting on it and I was kind of like, yeah, there's no way we would get a giga dive coaster. But now I'm like, are they seriously thinking about installing a giga dive coaster at Canada's Wonderland? I'm going to try and find as much evidence as possible. I'm still not 100% sold on it myself. I'm just finding things leading me in that direction. So again, using current math as you saw my videos the other day, 277 feet is I think what we came up with with the current calculations. So 277 feet tall or 272 feet tall. And then you have about a 30 foot deep tunnel, which leads you to about a 300 foot drop or yeah, drop into the tunnel. Which is crazy. So here comes even more rebar cages. We didn't have enough. We needed more. So this definitely looks like it's for the left hill, the base of the left hill. They're very square. They're very large. And the hole they're digging is very square and very large. So definitely the the lift hill slash pre lift of this what I'm going to call dive coaster. And yeah, and I think I have the end of the lift hill. So I think I'm going to do a bunch of calculations, get some people to help me out. And we're going to make a mock layout with Eastern thrills of a dive coaster because this is super exciting. Other than that, there wasn't too much going on. So again, they're digging the lift hill. That's going to take a while. Concrete from what I or cement from what I've been told takes about 28 days to cure once poured for a for a coaster. They like it to fully dry and kind of cure before putting in supports. So once we see cement go in, I was told to pretty much count 28 days after that. And that's when you might see, you know, the lift hill pieces coming in and supports coming in to be placed as well. So that's some pretty exciting information in itself. What were some other things that I was told? I'm trying to think I saw it. So by the way, guys, I'm really trying to become like super knowledgeable in what I'm talking about. You guys are really enjoying my updates and I want to try my best to provide you with the best information possible. So I've been reaching out to a couple of construction companies and people in engineering to kind of, you know, figure out and help me figure out what's going on here and what's going on in other parks. So, for example, I'll use the Carolin's update I did yesterday. So we saw a lot of water piping. And when I reached out to someone, I used some of those pictures to help me analyze what could be going on in construction sites. And a lot of the times when we see stuff like that, it's a redirecting water from a specific area that it may already be in to a different area of the park and also prepping or replacing old water systems in the park as well. Or, for example, Carolin's and you have Copperhead Strike. It could be because they're bringing in a lot of water features in that area, like a waterfall or maybe like a fake like lake or swamp or something like that, because Copperheads are prominent in that area. So there's a lot I'm learning because I want to, if I see things on a construction site, I want to be able to kind of digest what they could be for. So I'm definitely reaching out to people and learning more about construction and the terms and all that. And I really appreciate you guys commenting down below and helping me out with that. Like I really want to become super knowledgeable in this area as I'm going to be reporting on a lot of construction projects across North America and I don't want to sound like a dummy. But yeah, let's get back to the construction project. So again, you have not a lot of work on Timberwolf's side done at all yet. So we noticed that footers are not poured on Timberwolf's side. There's pylons marked for what kind of column they are just pushed off to the side because I assume they're about to bulldoze. That's what I'm assuming. They removed all the pylons that specify like column 81, column 94, column 51, and they move them off to the side for now and they're clearing all junk. I'm talking about every little bit of metal, wiring, objects removed. You see them doing it right there. They're removing everything from the spot of land. They're installing the Canadian offencing. So I don't know if they're going to lay down sod and pause construction or if they're getting ready to bulldoze. I have no clue. So I'll be there every day. You know that I have no life. My life is theme parks and cedar fair. So I'll be there. I'll be watching closely. It doesn't look like construction is going to ramp down. It looks like it's still going. I mean, they're digging the lift hill. But I don't know if this side is going to pause until fall. It's a very small size. I mean, if they get the lift hill done, they already have the station done. If they get that lift hill foundations in and all that, they're already miles ahead for a dive coaster on this project. And I mean, there are rumors of a second tunnel. I do not see any evidence of a second tunnel on this construction project yet. And the person that I'm using to help me figure out what's going on this construction project does not see any evidence of a second tunnel either. So at this point, I'm not going to call a second tunnel just yet. But there is some weird markings between Timberwolf and Whitewater Canyon. So we're going to pay close attention to that because the markings do represent digging and dig here elements. And there is, as you can see in this clip, more construction fencing not up yet and ready to be put up. So we think that this might be going up in the Whitewater Canyon area. But we'll be paying close attention. And I will be there Saturday first thing because there are a couple of things I want to check out that we saw. There might be a teaser in that area. I want to check out the pylons with all the codes on them. And I want to check out some of the spray paint markings as I'll be able to figure out what they're for. So I wanted to put this clip in here. And by the way, I'm working on a documentary for this coaster. I'm definitely going to be doing like a whole documentary from day one, you know, when the drone went up to the final product. And I want to put this clip in here because it's going to kind of, you know, touch on the, you know, a lot of the attention to details that a lot of people don't know that go into building a new area and a coaster. So it's a lot of work that goes into just a fence and or the smallest details that, you know, we overlook when a coaster and areas being built. So those are kind of the things that you can look for forward to in my video. Like I really want to make it an all out video. So in here, so it's not a retheme of the Splashworks building like I originally thought it may be. It looks like they're just touching out, replacing old wood and giving it a touch up on paint. Good. That's super awesome. It was much needed. It was chipping and all that. It looks great. So that's awesome to see it matches with the Timberkits building right next door to it. So I knew the roof wasn't going to get repainted. But that's awesome. From what I've heard, Barracuda Blaster from Ryan Roller Coaster, he told me that the sign has changed and the logo is now a canoe. Very interesting to this whole rumors of Splashworks being rethemed to, you know, the whole Canadian vibe itself. So we're definitely seeing evidence of Splashworks becoming a Canadian kind of themed Splash area. And we'll probably continue to see that happening slowly from for the next like three to five years. I don't think they're going to go full out and just rethink Splashworks over one year. I think we're seeing evidence that it's going to continuously be a project over the next three to five years and everything will be rethemed eventually. I do think Splashworks will have a name change eventually. I think the surfboard theme is going to go and the Canadiana is just going to bloom in Splashworks and it's going to look fantastic. I am not hating this Canadiana theming that I'm seeing over the park, even if it is being overdone. I absolutely love it and I could not get more of it. But yeah, here. So again, not much going on. They're just cleaning up the construction site. I do have some exciting clips coming up. So stay tuned. Don't worry. I'm trying to think of what else is happening over here that I remember and what I've been told. So we know they're digging the the posts for the Canadiana theming. I do not see an entry area for trucks, which is why I thought, OK, maybe construction is coming to an end and they put up fencing for humans like regular GP. You see the black fencing along the lake that they put up and now they're putting up this Canadiana theming. So I'm thinking and call me out if you disagree. But maybe we might see teasers in here. Maybe they're going to put up, you know, the Canadian Canadiana theming fence. They have the protect you right there, the general public fencing to prevent people from getting too close to the water. Maybe construction will will not continue on this specific potted land until fall. They're probably just going to focus on the lift hill area and they're already miles ahead, so there isn't much work to be done. I know they can't be operating around Timber Wolf as that's a safety issue. So that's not going to happen either. So it's very interesting as to what we're going to see is construction going to stop. Is it going to slow down or is it going to go full force still just on the other side of the land? It's hard to figure out because there is a lot of dust being kicked up when they're doing construction and splash works is right there. So that maybe, you know, like an eyesore to the general public and maybe that's not what they want to do. So I wanted to get this shot of the tunnel because this is definitely going to be one of the longest tunnels on a coaster in the world. I know there are longer, but this is definitely a super long tunnel and the drone footage and all my footage before never did it justice. And even this clip doesn't do it full justice. This tunnel goes under water. It goes under land and it comes up on an elevation. I can see why the tunnel took so long to build. It's definitely a big project. So this is my next thing on my topic of discussion. So you have the mountain cafe or mountainside bakery, whatever I forget what it's called. But from what I'm hearing, this is not going to be here next year. I'm hearing that this whatever element coming out of the tunnel, whatever element they choose is actually going to be the end of the mountainside bakery and cafe. So I can't confirm fully because again, we this is all speculation. And until the park says something, nothing, what I say is true. But I am hearing and it does make sense that the mountainside cafe could be on its last year. I mean, it is hardly ever open this season alone. So I don't know if it would be missed. They can move it and yeah, hopefully you guys enjoyed the update. Thanks for watching. Like the video, subscribe if you haven't and share it for other people to enjoy on and speculate what's coming in 2019. Awesome. Thanks so much, guys. Have a good one. Bye.


But it's amazing how Tuve is getting better, but Correa's out, Springer, and yet whoever you plug in, the Astros keep winning. How are they doing it? Well, that's a lot of talent on the injured list. So you're wondering how they're going to do it.  When you have Justin Verlander, also Garrett Cole, and you know you can pitch every single night, that always helps. But offensively, these are guys that are stepping up. They're understanding that they have to do that, but it's a nice ballpark to hit in too, Frank. You know that. Alvarez, what a story coming up, and having the ability to hit the ball out. This young man has already had an imprint on this offense. And I think AJ Hinch, the manager of the Astros, knows that they have a big talent that they're after going to rely on right now. Well, this kid, 23 home runs, 71 RBIs in the PCL in 56 games. Yeah, the air's a little light up there, but still. That's impressive. He comes to the big leagues, he's at two home runs in less than a week. This offense is just too talented. And they keep pitching this year. It's gonna be a tough time trying to beat Houston Astros. You think about it too. I think AJ Hinch has created this atmosphere since the 2017 World Series. They have expectation. Even though there's guys that are injured, they know how important it is, goes down the stretch. They know where they're going to be, but they can also make some adjustments. Are they the deepest team in baseball? They could easily be. And the injuries to Correa and Altuve are concerning, but I think they are the deepest team because when you win a World Series like that, it affords you time to develop some of these guys. And the developed staff in the minor leagues has to have a tip of the cap as well. I mean, they have great scouting, but you gotta look at this team. They're battle tested. They just won a World Series a couple of years ago. They know what the goal is. They keep telling to add to this team, a rookie coming up, swinging the bat like this, perfect for that ballpark, because it's such a small ballpark. He could probably shoot 30 balls out in the second half the way he swings the bat. Bottom line is, yes, they're the deepest team in the American League right now. Okay, and Brad Peacock gave a good performance. We talk about if they get the pitching, you know what you get with Verlander and Cole, but when Peacock gives you a good enough performance with that kind of offense, you're in good shape. I'll tell you this one, Chris. A.J. Hinch talked to me and he said, listen, we're one or two players away from being a better team than we were as the World Series champs. That really tells you how much that roster has gotten improved. And there's some pieces there that they know, they understand. They're gonna win.  You think they will? I think they will go out and get another big time starter. Okay. And the American League. The A.L. Loaded with talented teams, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins having a terrific year. Can they win with this bullpen? When we say win, it's not just getting the playoffs. It's the World Series and maybe winning it. Yeah, the way it's constructed right now, I don't think so. Kenley Janssen has 19 saves out of 21. That's good percentage, but I don't think Kenley Janssen's the same guy. And that's the reason why it filters down from there. Joe Kelly has been a struggling reliever since he signed with the Dodgers. It's not the same guy. I think they do need to make a move. Even though the Dodgers are famous for putting one of those starters or even two starters in their bullpen to fortify it down the stretch, but I think they need an impact reliever and that would be huge for this club. But that's like three teams. Need that consistent power arm and a bullpen. I think there's one out there. I was looking early. I think I got like Michael Gibbons from Baltimore to come in and add some consistent back with bullpen. Power arm, good against righties and lefties. That's the type of guy they'd be looking for down in the deadline. Yeah, and I like that too, Frank. I think it's a guy that's versatile, that's closed before and then also has an opportunity to pitch the high leverage inning. I think Brad Han's the perfect guy. His name was there when he was with the Padres. I think the Dodgers really wanted Brad Han. He's very versatile. He'll take the ball at any moment. And I think he takes a little pressure of Kenley Jansen in that last inning role. Dave Roberts can be very versatile. This roster is so good. They have versatility defensively, offensively, but that would be huge pickup for them if they get Brad Han. Yeah, and Frank, if we're talking about the hierarchy in the National League, right? The Braves. Well, you look at the Braves. The Cubs went out. They had the Cubs. They got Kimbrel, right?  Okay, so you both agree they need to add somebody. I think they do. And listen, being in second for two straight years, that is frustrating in itself. I think this year is a priority because Clayton Kershaw's not getting any younger and everyone else has to step up. And the Dodgers know this is a dangerous club. They need to sure up their weakness.


This study proposes a new time series forecasting model based on multi-layer of long short-term memory, MLSTM. It was evaluated against three other popular forecasting methods, bidirectional LSTM, linear regression, and LSTM and found to be superior in terms of accuracy and precision. The MLSTM model achieved a decrease in mean absolute percentage error, mape of 20%, root mean square error, RMSE of 25%, and mean absolute percentage error, mape of 10% when compared to LSTM. Additionally, it outperformed bidirectional LSTM with a decrease in mape of 10%, RMSE of 20%, and mape of 18%. Finally, it also surpassed linear regression with a decrease in mape of 2%, RMSE of 7%, and mape of 10%. These results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed MLSTM model over existing methods in terms of accuracy and precision.

This is a Witchspace special report. I'm CMDR Buur Frontier developments have today given their first ever proper deep dive into the new fleet carrier system We already knew how much they'll cost five billion credits and what fuel they'll need tritium But now in the pre-recorded livestream community manager Stephen Benedetti along with developers Dav Stott and Luke Bettiton went through what carriers can do how they move and what changes they'll bring to how Commanders play the game in an announcement that was full of surprises Frontier have revealed carriers to be way more complex and engaging systems than we ever Anticipated and we're gonna break down what we know about them right now the basics When the content reveal live stream was first announced by Frontier about a week ago They did release some initial details on the system that covered a few of the big questions and perhaps hinted at some of the Functionality we could expect in case you missed that reveal what we now know to be facts are this The carriers will cost five billion credits to purchase They have 16 total landing pads of varying sizes other players can dock at those landing pads Carriers have a 500 light-year jump range to make that jump They'll use a new fuel to the game called tritium You can jump your carrier whenever you want, but there will be a charge-up and call-down period before and after the jump You'll be able to customize your fleet carriers loadout in a similar fashion to other elite dangerous ships They're having been a rethink at Frontier since the initial cookie cutter themed carrier design was discussed last year Fleet carrier owners can also set tariffs on goods traded on their carriers services to support the Weekly upkeep costs such as wear and tear maintenance crew wages and fuel If you don't however balance those weekly incomings and outgoings You could incur a debt and if that debt persists in Frontier's words to a huge level Then the carrier risks being decommissioned and sold for parts In short the carrier has running costs, but it also has an income and those two factors need to be balanced Fleet carriers will be coming to a leak dangerous in June And there will be two public beta tests before then one starting on April the 7th for PC players and a second one in May For PCs and consoles you can further manage your carriers finances by setting tariffs and adjusting the buying and selling prices for Commodities traded in its market So that's what we knew already Here's what's new from today's live stream We knew carriers were going to be expensive and so the purchase price of the basic carrier Wasn't too much of a surprise at five billion credits if however You have one of the original elite dangerous Kickstarter level accounts a discount will be applied to that cost at the point of purchase The carriers themselves can be purchased from a number of star ports that will have a new carrier dry dock facility nearby Similar to the capital ship dry docks that we've seen in the Federation and Empire for example So you don't purchase the ship directly from the factory, but rather from a new vendor at the nearby starport Once the carrier has been purchased it will appear in a nearby star system that the new owner will be directed to on the purchase screen The new fuel tritium can be purchased from a refinery economy starport, but it can also be mined from icy planetary rings Commanders will be able to control who can dock at their fleet carrier Restricting it if they so desire to friends or just squadron mates or both or indeed none You'll also be able to prevent a commander who has notoriety from docking at your carrier if you so wish The customization options to carriers are a much-welcomed change Meaning everyone's carrier will be bespoke to their own gameplay style and mission requirements Instead of the fixed build carrier idea that was discussed previously Commanders can now set an identifier that will place an icon next to the carrier on the contacts list That gives an indication of the features of that carrier be they mercenary explorer mining search and rescue or anti-Xeno etc Moving your carrier One of the features that has produced a degree of anxiety in the community was the movement of carriers and how that would be handled The vast majority of the fear being that we'd be in a situation similar to the mega ships in the game Where they only jump on a weekly cycle It is my genuine pleasure to confirm that this is very much not the case and your carrier will actually be able to jump every two Hours tritium fuel permitting obviously the massive frameshift drive used by the Drake class carrier Takes an hour to spin up ready for use and an hour to cool down after use making each jump a commitment But not a nuisance To move the carrier the owner will be able to plot a destination on the galaxy map and once jumped The carrier will appear and orbit a body within the system But commanders thankfully will also be able to target a specific body within the system via the system map and instead Jump to an orbital position around that body This essentially means that you should for example be able to target a distant ring system with a valuable Commodity and a long super cruise range and have your ship appear in orbit Around the rings ready to start mining Likewise if you and your squadron want to target a high intensity combat zone on the far side of a system Then you can have everyone load up ship out and just exit which space aboard the carrier right near your targeted combat zone If however a system has a permit lock the carrier will not be able to enter the system Even if the owner has access to that permit Day to day running Your fleet carrier is a massive ship and you can't run it alone You're gonna need a crew to run your facilities for you and perform maintenance duties and just like your SLF crew They come with a cost association Players will be able to recruit new crew members and add new services to their carrier via a new contact in certain systems Called the carrier management service the running costs for your carrier fall into three different categories core costs optional costs and maintenance costs Core costs are the basic services that any carrier must have in order to function things like a bridge crew and a deck officer To move the carrier and handle traffic control on the flight deck Optional costs are associated with the optional services that you can choose to add to your carrier and Maintenance costs are a flat fee that's incurred every time your ship jumps to a new destination In order to finance these costs the carrier comes with its own separate bank With a credit balance that can be managed and added to or withdrawn from by the owner However, the owner of a carrier can add a percentage tariff on top of the services and goods that it provides Meaning that the carrier if handled correctly will certainly contribute at least to pay for its own upkeep This struck me as a particularly fascinating concept where you place your carrier What services you provide and how you use the carrier could mean in theory at least that it should make money for you as well As being a useful tool for you your friends and the wider community in the game And that value continues when you're not in the game as everyone's carrier is Persistent across platforms private groups open and solo mode if you're not around Your carrier still hangs around for everyone to use just like a starport or any other facility in the game Indeed off the back of this I can see carrier management Theory crafting becoming a thing with commander seeking out whatever the new carrier meta happens to be as the galaxy evolves While we're talking about day-to-day running cost Let's cover off the thing that has given commanders the most anxiety since it was announced debt and decommissioning In context the principle is this as I mentioned your carrier has a bank balance all its own and Separate from your own credit balance and it has running costs that draw from that bank balance If that bank balance reaches zero and you can no longer afford to run the carrier and pay your crew from that bank balance Then the carrier will shut down all of its optional IE the non-default services in order to reduce the running costs those optional services will be brought back online Once the debt is paid if however debt then continues to accrue and go unpaid for a number of weeks The player will be given a week to resolve the financial issue with the carrier before it is finally Decommissioned and becomes unrecoverable Let me start by saying that I understand completely the degree of anxiety that the debt and decommissioning issue has raised Frontier have said in their social media channels that the debt cap that needs to be reached before the carrier is removed is Huge and you have a number of weeks to resolve the issue But without knowing specific details on the system It's hard to comment further what I would say is that the screenshots that we've seen of weekly upkeep costs would seem to imply the following With no extra services activated the weekly upkeep is shown as 10 million credits With a full rack of services activated the weekly upkeep is shown as just under 13 and a half million credits It's a fact in the game right now that you can easily earn over a hundred million credits with about an hour's worth of mining That's roughly seven weeks worth of carrier running costs right there If you assume that no one is landing on your carrier and buying fuel or repairing their ship or re-arming If you're feeling a bit flush and you were to give your carrier a bank balance of one billion credits to be getting on with Again assuming you had no one landing at your carrier and giving you money for services Then that's around a year and a half running costs with your carrier running at full cost With no other input from anyone before you'd incur a debt I'd say you would honestly have to have left the game almost entirely Before that really became an issue and whilst Frontier haven't been specific about refunds on forced carrier decommissioning If you choose voluntarily to decommission your carrier, you can actually get most of the five billion initial cost back I can't believe the forced decommissioning wouldn't work the same There's obviously a balance to be found and finding the new carrier cost slash profit meta is going to be brilliant fun Honestly, but if those figures are accurate I can't see a situation where the vast majority of lightly attended carriers won't just be Predominantly self-sufficient indeed if balanced correctly they could in theory become a colossal mobile credit hose As I've already mentioned your carrier is persistent That's to say if you leave the game the carrier stays there still offering services still potentially bringing in money Even when you're asleep or on holiday But we need to fiddle with these ships for a bit to understand them fully And that's what the forthcoming beaters should help with What else can your carrier do it has both standard and configurable services? You can provide on board the standard core services that every carrier has are a Commodity market that commanders can use to buy and sell goods The money used to buy the goods from commanders comes from the carrier's own bank balance and the money commanders use to buy goods from the carrier goes into that bank balance and Just like that elite has a player economy. Yes, folks You'll at last be able to buy and sell commodities in elite dangerous to other commanders Secondly each carrier will have a tritium depot That can be viewed by anyone visiting the carrier and can be donated to by anyone visiting the carrier Meaning for a group out in the black or indeed at the heart of the bubble the tritium fuel gathering can be a joint group effort And not just the responsibility of the carrier owner The commodity market and tritium depot are managed by a dedicated crew member called the deck officer Additional services on the carrier can be added by recruiting dedicated staff and fitting the new services at a carrier administration contact that can be found at some star ports Added surfaces can be removed and sold back to the admin service for a reduced price at any time or additionally Commanders will themselves be able to suspend services when they're not needed rather than specifically removing them to help reduce the running costs of the carrier The additional services that can be added are as follows Redemption officer who can buy bonds trade dividends power play salaries and codex vouchers from players the carrier bank and Redemption officer will both take a cut of the fee. However Advanced maintenance which comprises three separate facilities allowing commanders to repair refuel and rearm or restock their ships Outfitting which allows commanders to purchase sell or store modules at the fleet carrier Owners will be able to customize what stock they make available for purchase from their carrier Owners can choose to add a shipyard allowing players to purchase sell or store ships at a fleet carrier as With module outfitting the owner can choose and theme what ships will be available at their carrier for others to purchase and Finally a fence allowing visiting commanders to buy and sell illegal goods Frontier have stated that when a fleet carrier is parked in a system The systems authorities will send patrol craft to maintain order and if the visitors to the carrier participate in illegal Activities then the amount of patrols will be increased making illegal activity more difficult by the same token The fleet carrier security level will increase with the system super power over time if no illegal activities take place reducing the amount of system authority patrols and as a side note if you have a pinned Engineering blueprint you will be able to use that blueprint while parked at a carrier just like in a regular starport and Also really importantly when an owner is docked at their carrier They will be able to transfer their cargo directly to the fleet carrier and just like that will have player storage facilities Your carrier has a total internal storage space of 25,000 units Which is vast some of that will be used up by additional services if you choose to add them But the rest can be completely devoted to commodity storage if you so desire If you're not parked at your carrier You can still issue orders to it via a new option in the right hand in cockpit menu That will take you to a carrier management screen meaning you won't have to chase it around the galaxy to make it do stuff The carriers will come with their own livery system Just like regular ships SRVs and fighters and so you can expect to see carrier specific paint jobs and Probably carrier sized ship kits at the very least purchasable for arcs on the frontier store I can't wait for those. I frankly want a spoiler that's bigger than a t10 Steven said at the end of the live stream that they were only scratching the surface of what carriers will bring to the game and that the In-game commander's handbook had been updated to accommodate the incoming super ships It's worth noting as some final thoughts that given the current state of the world and that frontier are all working from home As I speak these words we should be prepared that things like beta dates may possibly slip I also suspect there are things that frontier aren't telling us as yet because obviously they're gonna want us to have some Surprises and find out stuff for ourselves To date they've not mentioned for example What happens if a carrier is attacked or how that might play out in a player versus player situation What has happened to the support vessels that were shown initially with carriers last year I'm not convinced that the artwork is gone entirely yet, but no mention of them has been made today If it hasn't gone, how does it now fit in? Also this carrier shown in the dry dock on the stream looks completely different to what we've seen so far Is it a ship kit or something else? It's already apparent from what we've just been told that carriers are gonna be a significant game changer in many regards We now have player storage coming in mass transport of groups of players of up to 500 light years a player to player Economy a persistent player owned asset that earns money for the owner the transportation of huge quantities of commodities to a marketplace in the blink of an eye which will have ramifications for mining and trading and player minor faction influence at the very least as The plan stands we'll have our hands-on carriers in the first beta in just five days time I couldn't be more excited to see where these vast player owned ships take the game now and In the years to come and don't worry if you haven't got five billion credits to blow on a carrier in the beta There's plenty of things still to be tested and messed around with from trading to mining to BGS work So be sure to get your hands dirty and gather your thoughts and get your constructive feedback to frontier There is an official content reveal forum post that I've linked below where you can review the details of the announcement in their entirety and Put your questions to frontier Interesting times indeed. That's it for now. Thanks very much for watching We'll be back later this week with more videos until then oh seven commanders follow the greens on the way out and do Keep clear of the toast rack. We very much look forward to seeing you next time


Hi everyone. Thanks for joining us. A 37 year old native washman is in custody after leading Bemidji area law enforcement on a pursuit early this morning. The incident started with a traffic stop in Bemidji when a police officer noted a vehicle that had expired registration and also met the description of a suspect vehicle from an indecent exposure case from February. The officer reported asking Augustus Light to step out of the vehicle but that light refused and drove away. Light was eventually arrested north of Bemidji after a Beltrami County deputy deployed stop sticks. Light was taken to the Beltrami County jail and is awaiting formal charges by the Beltrami County Attorney's Office.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are moving on to the next session. This is the fireside chat between Julia Rust, Global Solutions and Innovation Manager, Zaxis, and Stas Tushinsky, CEO, co-founder, Instrumatic. They are going to be talking about voice advertising Go's mainstream. I'll hand it over to these two. Hello, everybody. It's great to be here. Thanks for having us. Hi, everyone. Hi, Stas. How are you doing today? Julia, I'm doing well. How are you? Yeah, good. Very excited to be here. And I guess we're talking about voice advertising today, right? So shall we quickly kick off and start by explaining what voice advertising really is? Yeah. Up until now, all previous advertising formats have talked at consumers, right? And this has been the case for decades. But now, technology has created a whole new opportunity. You can listen. And the voice era opens a new chapter in marketing. Brands can listen and speak with consumers, just like we are speaking right now. So how does it work? What is voice advertising? So imagine you're listening to your favorite music app. Let's say it's Ghana. And instead of getting a 30-second regular audio ad, you would hear something like this. Hey, Starbucks is here. Would you want to skip the line in the morning and have a hot cup of coffee waiting for you? And you can respond by saying, yeah, I'd love that. All right, just get our app and we'll get a hot cup of coffee waiting for you. Or you can say, no, I don't like coffee. Sorry. All right, sorry about that. We'll try harder next time. And voice and interactivity creates a very rich relationship between a brand and a consumer because now, well, first of all, people feel heard by participating in a conversation. And also in the process, marketers can learn something about them. And at the same time, people get control over their ad experience. So if ad is relevant or not interested, interesting, they can skip it. But if it's relevant, then people can unpack, learn more, and it makes advertising really entertaining journey because now you can actually navigate through a certain path and uncover interesting surprises. And as we all know, the best ads always tell a story. And voice ads make the user an active participant in the story. Ads can actually become episodic, which means that we can connect multiple ads in a single narrative. And we can do that based on previous response history, which makes it really powerful marketing tool. And all the campaigns that we have run and that we saw delivered really high engagement rates and great results. And I think there is no one better than Julia to tell us more about their experience with voice. Yeah, exactly. And I think you hit the hill on the head, right? I mean, there is no denying in the rapid evolution of voice tech. And if anything was proven last year, we've seen how resilient tech is and how it could really amplify people's lives. And more and more people start to use their voice as a tool to drive their devices. And it makes sense, right? Because our life becomes increasingly busy and we're handling multiple tasks at the same time. And therefore, voice is very a convenient tool to use our devices. And within that consumer changing behavior, brands are in the middle of it. And brands need to adapt to that change. But what isn't changing is that ever-growing, incredible amount of choice people have every day. And I guess today's always on consumer really demands convenient access to information when it comes to buying product, but also when they're exploring services. And voice advertising really offers marketers to your point a flexible mix of creative storytelling, but also data-driven application at scale. And combining those two can really elevate personal messaging and subsequently lead to higher return on investment. And I think this is absolutely crucial for brands, right? Because no matter how accurate or how well our media execution may be, creative content is still a massive influencer of our campaign success. And what does campaign success really mean? I think we really have to rethink what success means because before we really used a click as a proxy and really told everyone, like, if someone clicks on an ad, it means they're interested. While we all now know that, you know, if someone clicks accidentally on an ad, it doesn't mean they're interested. There could be tons of reasons why they're not interested. And the opposite is true as well. You know, if someone doesn't click in your ad, they may be interested as well. And over time, we found new meaningful ways to add more insights into our digital media tactics. And, you know, we've applied artificial intelligence. We are layering multiple data sources to identify purchase patents. And it all become more granular and more insightful. But what is lacking still today is that qualitative layer of why people are interested. And within that fast moving and trans sensitive landscape, consumer preferences also constantly change. There isn't really a traditional consumer profile anymore and therefore ads are subject to change. And I think, you know, using voice advertising can really help brands adding that qualitative layer to their media mix strategy. And I guess I'll kick off with some examples too, if you don't mind, obviously. I think voice advertising can be really infused into multiple ways into our media tactics. But one of my favorites really is, you touched on it or earlier, is applying voice AI to audio ads. So we did a case study last year and we used your tag of Instramatic and we, you know, we activated on Ghana supply here in India for Pizza Hut. And basically what we did in that campaign is, Pizza Hut wanted to gain awareness for their buy one get one free campaign. And they really wanted to drive awareness but simultaneously add more engagement into that layer and subsequently drive more scale. So we decided to implement voice activated comments in the audio ads. And we asked people whether or not they were interested in the offering. And it was a very simple execution. We asked if they were interested and if they were, they were directed to a landing page. And what we found in this campaign is that the engagement rate was eight times higher than a normal audio campaign. And 4% of the users actually was interested in ordering the buy one get one for free pizza. And when we followed up after that with a retargeting campaign, we saw that 3% of the people who had a negative attitude before changed their mind and had a positive attitude towards the campaign and the brand. So we're not for that interaction and adding voice technology to the audio campaign. People may have not changed their minds. So it really demonstrates how powerful voice can be and how important it is for a brand to have that connection at scale with consumers. And another example, for instance, is how voice advertising can really help driving customer engagement and ultimately leading to consumer loyalty. And I think that touches on what you said before, Stas. The importance of, I'm not interested, there's such a wealth of information behind that answer. And any conversational format, basically what it does is it mimics a conversation and it basically allows a brand to start having a two-way interaction with a brand rather than a one-way interaction. You're not pushing a message, but you're actually asking for information and that information can be infused into your only channel strategy. It can really ensure that your entire digital media strategy can be enhanced and subsequently also your business outcomes. And a great example of an industry that is really benefiting from that is the auto industry because globally governments have set targets to reduce carbon footprints, right? And the automotive industry is really engaged and they have to because they're a big contributor to carbon, the carbon footprint. And if they don't start engaging with their audience right now with their new electric cars, they might risk losing them because the thing is with electric cars and selling them, it's differently, the customer journey is different because there is less information out there on electric cars and therefore consumers have little references and they have to explore more before they can base their decision and choose for rent. Before with fossil fuel cars, people could, maybe they had their parents or their friends that drove a type of brands or they had a driving lesson and they have really fond memories of that driving lesser so they really wanna go for that brand. Research actually shows for people who are in the market for electric cars, they're not necessarily buying a car that they are familiar with but they're going for a brand that offers them the information that they're looking for at that time. So for brands that really means they need to start communicating with their clients at scale and by doing so they can start adding engagement layers but also working on brand trust and ultimately that leads to consumer loyalty. Brands who are not adding that element of personalization into their digital media mix really risk losing consumers on the longer term. Yeah. There is a question from the audience. So the question is, would there be a recording button like a CTA in the Ghana app when the voice ad appears in Ghana? That's a very good question. So the way we roll out voice ads is through allowing people to opt in. So our clients and our publishers, they tell their users like, hey, if you want to enable voice interactivity and replace one way audio ad experience with a two-way dialogue, then you have to opt in, you have to give us permission to enable mic when it's appropriate. And so people, users don't actually have to do anything. The moment they get a voice ad, the voice ad itself ends with a question or with something like, hey, let us know if you want to learn more and then we open mic for four seconds to get a response and people say something and based on the response, we continue the advertising journey. And speaking of platforms and the adoption and the scale, we, I mean, Instrumatic and GroupM, we've been at the forefront of this innovation and we can see that right now, voice advertising really enters mainstream market. So a couple of publishers that already using Instrumatic voice technology and growing their supply. So they are Ghana, the largest music app in India. It's Pandora, the largest music app in the US. It's many, many radio groups. We have several big, big publishers coming online this year and follow the announcements. And what's really great is that we've been also working hard to expand the offering into the programmatic ecosystem. So just recently, again, with GroupM, we ran the first programmatic execution of a voice. So it's getting there. Like you won't notice it, but very soon, you won't be able to imagine the media plan without a voice ad line item there. Yeah, and I think really the direction of traveling for voice advertising is there are already so many strategies out there that brands can leverage and start reaping the benefits of voice advertising. And especially with a channel such as Audio, enriching it with voice advertising really offers clients to engage with people on scale and really add more impact to their media campaigns. And we really see this as a great opportunity to be smart about our digital media tactics and engaging people by asking questions and maybe even circumventing the limits of cookies. I know it's not a topic today, but it's really definitely an option that a conversational technology can do. And it also allows us to capture true intent and really infuse it into our media channels and only channel strategies. And it makes the entire digital media activation more valuable and impactful for our clients. Not sure, I know we only have 15 minutes. I'm not sure how we are in times does, but what do you think are the next steps for voice advertising? I think that voice advertising is gonna be part of every ad supported medium. So Audio Vertical is a very natural place for it to start to thrive, but eventually we'll see voice sets in the video vertical, in the gaming vertical, navigation and any other ad supported apps and services. So I think that every marketer should think of voice as mobile ads 10 years ago. It's just the beginning, but it's gonna be really big and it's gonna affect every, again every vertical that we have today. And what do you think, Julia? I totally agree. I think brands, it would be wise for brands to start exploring it now from small to large. I think there is an opportunity for all of them. And yeah, what we've seen, I mean, numbers aren't lying. More and more people are starting to use their voice to again drive their devices and brands can really add that layer of quality to their campaigns by using voice technology. And I guess on that note, I hope this conversation gave everyone food for thought. And I think we're gonna hand over to Revin again. Thank you. Thank you so much, Julia. Thank you, Stas. And of course, it was a wonderful session and we really had a great time listening to you. Thank you. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of today.
