If you're watching this video, chances are that you've probably heard or have watched videos on the Chuchuchiles game. Maybe you've asked yourself the question, What is that? What even is that? Well, in this video, I'm going to explain the lore contained within the game, as well as explain where Chuchuchiles came from. So buckle in, it's going to be a wild ride! Your adventure starts after you get a phone call from a man named Eugene. From the first line, it's presumed that you've had contact with Eugene before. He goes on to explain that there is something on the island that would be worth your while and a great addition to your museum, which is apparently going out of business.  Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter. Archivist museum person? On the way to the island, Eugene informs you that you're going to be hunting a giant train giga spider hybrid, and that the residents of the island have been planning its demise for some time now and have everything in order. As you step onto the island of... You find a train which you end up taking control of, the previous owner of which was killed by Charles a while ago. So that bodes well. But this isn't any old train, no! This one has guns! Oh, also on the dock, there's like an easter egg of a guy who tried to leave and didn't get very far. So... there's that then. After taking the train out for a quick spin, Charles shows up, killing Eugene and running off into the distance. And the rest of the game is really up to you. You talk to the residents of the island and they can give you scrap to upgrade your train or do missions to get different guns. Some of these residents really have no bearing on the plot. While others do, during your adventures on the island, you come to learn that there is a man in charge of the mining operation here called Warren, who everyone has some disdain towards. I've been wanting to see Warren's empire crumble for a long time. He also has people who work for him that the residents call crazies. These people, as it turns out, are wearing masks, not too dissimilar to Charles's face. However, it's never explained why they wear these masks, which has led to various theories on the matter. It could be because they worship their new train overlord and therefore see the best way to worship him is to look like him. Now all the normal residents on this island are held up in their homes, unable to escape for fear of running into Charles. But these crazies are seen walking around in various places outside in the open and even whistling. So what I think is more likely the case is that they found a way to not be attacked by Charles, and that's by pretending to be him. And the only people we see Charles attack are both Eugene and Warren, who don't wear masks. So that wasn't a very wise idea, was it? There's even a room where you can see all the different masks hanging up that these workers wear. However, I think it's more likely that this is probably an easter egg, showcasing all the various incarnations Charles has went through during its design process, before landing on this one. The villagers have an idea to lure Charles into a mortal battle by gathering the three eggs and placing them in the temple in the middle of the island. We believe there may be a way to get Charles to commit to a mortal battle. However, the mining company owner Warren Charles III has placed armed guards around these eggs and their locations. So your mission now is to gather those eggs and start a final battle with Charles, avoiding dying in the process. Early on in the game, a resident has you get something out of a chest that Warren's men have dumped.  And because it's literally called an ancient tablet, we can assume that this has happened a long, long time ago. And who else do we know looks like a spider? Yeah, hard to miss a minute. And what do spiders come out of? Yes, that's right. Eggs. See, we're getting somewhere already. Further down the line, we come across someone called Greg, and he tells us that Warren is protecting the three remaining monster eggs, and his theory is that Warren is raising an army of these Charles-like creatures to take over the world. He does, however, sign his name as genius extraordinaire, so I think we can all take this with a grain of salt. The more interesting thing to note here is that he explains that they have been harvesting the life essence from these eggs, and that's something that we'll come back to later. Another resident we come across is called Gale. He has a different take on Warren. Gale tells us that when they were using the prism to get this life energy extracted from the eggs, that was when Charles attacked them for the first time, saying that he grew ginormous and more monstrous on the energy. And because of this, Warren hid the eggs and ordered them to be protected, and he also ordered the evacuation of the island. He goes on to say that he thinks Warren might have plenty skeletons in his closet, but he can't help but think that Warren is looking out for them this time. Now, at this point we have multiple conflicting opinions on Warren, however, Gale is the only one that seems to shine him in a generous and full-favourite light. But trust me, by the end of this video, it's pretty clear what kind of man Warren really is. And let's just say he's not opposed to having his own men killed. Another character we meet later, called Ronnie, tells us Warren never told anyone on the mainland about the mining operation here. He also never reported the cave-in that caused the death of some of his workers, and since then, he seems to have only focused on these eggs and Charles, not even paying his workers. There are also notes scattered around the island, giving away major events in the story. A mine cave-in, extracting energy from eggs, a strange cavern, but before we uncover the entire story, there are some things I want to address in this game, because it breaks the fourth wall quite a lot. It has numerous references to other horror games and cliches. For instance, there is a mission in the game that has you hunt down pages stuck to lampposts while being pursued by a ghost. It's an obvious reference to Slenderman 8 pages, and it's not the only game that's done that. There is also a stereotypical witch character brewing a stew and a creature living in a swamp, very much a reference to the creature from the Black Lagoon. I don't feel that these components play a big part in any of the lore or story of Charles, but are more a product of the developer adding fun things into the game. Like, did you know that off the coast of the island, there is a giant rubber ducky? Heh, yeah, me neither. What, do you imagine a duck? Anyway, back to the plot. Now, after completing the game and searching the island for all the extra notes, I think I can safely say we have a much clearer picture on what happened here. And it all starts with Warren, the owner of the Charles mining company. From notes, we can ascertain that his business is very successful, and because of that, he's wealthy.  Well, that's what the workers want to know too. And I think it's because he had heard there was something here, something more valuable than gold, a source of power, the eggs. Because Warren is in the business of digging mines for a living, it's very possible that he found this ancient tablet from a previous excavation. This is what could have led him to this location. But due to his secret of nature, it's quite obvious this was the reason he came here, and didn't want to share his knowledge with anybody else. All of his team thought they were digging for gold, as seen in these notes. After arriving on the island, the team got to work. Some commented on how excessive this operation was and costly. Just taking all of the equipment to the primary mining location was crazy. The chances of finding gold here was minute. So, it was an incredibly big risk for a business owner with a spotless record to take. A month into the operation, there were signs of a gold vein being found. However, workers were starting to grow suspicious. One wrote about the ruins above the ground and below, and wondered if it was really gold, which was the reason they were here. And it was at about this time that the workers broke through into a large cavern. Eugene, being the site manager at the time, feels uneasy about this place and writes a request for Warren to visit the site immediately, saying there's something strange here. Eugene would turn out to be correct, as this was the place where the first contact was made with the creature. Before them, lay the treasure Warren had been seeking, harder than diamonds, and with the ability to produce energy. The shimmering diamond-like eggs. So, just like a regular mining expedition, they placed down track and brought in trains and minecarts to transport the eggs to the surface. Unbeknownst to the workers, eggs weren't the only surprise this cavern had in store for them. From the shadows emerges a giant creature, a spider, the likes of which none of them have ever seen before. Powering above them, it starts attacking the miners. But the miners had also come prepared for this. Just like that ancient tablet foretold, Warren had brought guns with him. So, we can assume that they took aim and shot at this creature. Some workers lost their lives, and this giant spider-like creature did something none of them expected. It hid itself inside one of the mining company's trains. Weird, I know, but don't worry, it'll be explained. If we just take a look at Charles, it's quite clear to see that the train part of him isn't really doing anything. It moves because it has legs that are sprouting out. And even the cabin of the train is completely sealed shut. And I believe what's hiding inside there is that same giant spider that was found in the mines months ago. The spider used the train's metal exterior to protect itself from their weapons, almost like a giant hermit crab would use a shell. And this explains why Eugene knew to shoot it in its face. He's not taking enough damage! He had come up against this creature once before down in the mines. We know that Charles is intelligent. Eugene's son writes that Charles deliberately avoids the wooden bridge because it knows that it's dangerous. So, to use the train as protection from the gunfire is not a stretch of the imagination. Failing to stop the beast as a last resort, the mine was collapsed, hoping to destroy the creature and the event written off as a tragic mining accident. With the eggs of power tantalizingly close, more entrances were created. One to the north and one to the east of that. Eventually, Warren managed to get to those eggs. They were then placed into the prism atop the ruins where a beam of energy erupted into the sky. And according to Greg, they did this for months. And just when everything seemed to be going according to plan, that creature that was found in the cave reappeared. And Charles was also able to harness the energy and grow bigger and more intimidating. This is where the majority of people first saw Charles. And from there, Warren hid the eggs far apart from each other, stopping anything like this happening again. But the residents took things into their own hands and well, you know the rest. So, you might be asking, if it's a spider, why out of nowhere can it just take control of a train? Well, the clue has been right beneath everyone's feet this whole time. The island, Arinarium. A weird name, at least that's what I thought. And a quick Google search later reveals that the island is actually named after a fungus. In particular, a species called angiodontium, Arinarium. And there is something special about this fungus.  And in particular, spiders. It spores land upon a spider and once they take root, they bore deep inside it, eating it from the inside out and then emerging ready to spread its spores and start the cycle again. The references to spiders in this game is plentiful. And what else looks like a spider? A sun red demonic train does. Now, I don't believe that Charles is a fungus. This reference to a fungus that grows inside of another host is the link between the Charles mining company and this prehistoric giant spider creature being able to get inside one of the trains and possessing it. Evidence of multiple rail cars can be found in the notes. Like this one from Theodore, which tells us he used his beautiful old mining train to push a spare rail car into the canyon. Even in the scrap heap, there is an old train rusting away. And it's exactly one of these trains that Charles managed to crawl into. And that's why at the side of it, there's Charles Mining Company, the exact same logo that appears on our train at the start of our adventure. And at the end of the game, Charles is killed, blown up on a bridge and then impaled on a spike. There is one thing that Warren says to us just before he ends up, you know, biting the proverbial train dust. You don't know what you're doing. Now, it is very possible that he's found out some information that hasn't been brought to light. And after Charles is killed, we still see that there are caverns filled with these monster eggs under the ground. One of them shaking as if it's ready to hatch any second. Maybe it's the death of Charles that's going to now bring all of these creatures to life, or just that this one is actually going to be the next Choo Choo Charles. It's hard to say. But if we're being honest, this game was a passion project made by one developer, which means that there's only one person who really knows the true story to Choo Choo Charles. So what do you think? Did I explain everything? Or is there something else I missed that maybe might make an add to the story? But again, it's just a theory. Before we wrap things up here, I want to give a massive shout out to my friend Excited for creating those beautifully horrific illustrations of Charles in the cave. I did, however, give him some pretty good reference images, it has to be said. This game was an absolute pleasure to play and if you haven't already picked it up, I will leave a link in the description to where you can buy it on Steam. Having pieces of lore strung about in notes here and there and an air of mystery about it really makes it interesting. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video and until next time, I'll see you later. Oh buh-bye.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here We're gonna be talking about scream 7 in this video here today And we're gonna be pointing the finger right back at everybody's favorite final girl Sydney Prescott Everybody's favorite little victim as cotton put it in screen to so we're gonna pretend that scream 7 is Sydney centric And we're gonna just gonna go over an idea of mine in which Sydney could again be given a purpose very Significant meaning and just not showing up for the sake of it because it's her franchise and by the Bing by the boom You know she needs a story. She needs to have a reason to be here. So let's just dive on into it I'm mostly gonna be recycling what I stated in my last true crime theory video But now what I'm doing is I'm shifting stuff around to allow Sydney Prescott to be effectively Important to the narrative. So let's pretend scream 7 is Sydney centric in some capacity our opening target is still someone with a Deep disdain for true crime.  So we're already in Sydney's neck of the woods He has an entire podcast dedicated to why true crime is bad for our culture the youth of America He's from Woodsboro as well So his disdain for ghost face and figures like Gail Weathers is a little personal to him And there's also an active killer that's knocked off a few teens in the past month or so One night after finishing recording a new episode for his podcast. He hears some noises downstairs Naturally, he goes to check them out. We the viewer then see that a ghost face killer is in his house We get some stalking sequences, but he doesn't know what we do yet And it can be very reminiscent like I stated in my last video of west is seen in screen 5 before he bought or bit the bullet as well A brawl could occur once ghost face makes their presence known But ghost face is killed by the boy and then we jump to some time later after again a survivor Survived the opening attack by knocking off a ghost face killer The podcast team who survived said opening attack has given up his passion and is just seen as a traumatized student Who still hates true crime? We meet a group of teens who are also seniors at the same high school as our opening survivor Sydney Prescott is actually a counselor at this school She's also recently released a new book and completed a book tour for the book during the last summer break The book is about the staff franchise and why it's harmful to society She actually was working on this book during screen 5 so Richie and Amber's antics were quite convenient at the time Now our other main protagonist can be a girl in this group of friends We're sending it on she can be a sent me or Sam type her parents just got divorced So she's upset about that but she has a loving boyfriend and a group of friends who love true crime and horror just as much as she does Naturally because of their interest in horror and true crime the new killer targets these people But where does the new ghost face stem from if you recall in my last video? I revealed that it would have ultimately just been the opening victim gone off the deep end But I'm not gonna do that. I'm changing it around from that. So it's not the opening victim But ultimately the new ghost face killer is revealed to be the opening victim The opening victims older brother who adores Sydney Prescott and feels betrayed by her See Sunrise Studios in the midst of all of this stuff that's happening in this fictional scream seven of mine is actively working on Rebooting stab for the big screen the older brother hates true crime just like his little brother with the podcast But he also loves Sydney and values her story since it's helped him overcome struggles in his life He hates the stab franchise for exploiting Sydney's life and was proud to see her put a stop to it a decade ago When she forced them to create new stories However, what he did not like was Sydney's recent statements related to his little brother's attack Reporters actually spoke to Sydney that night and asked her what she thought since she was just a few houses down Sydney said it's absolutely tragic But I'm glad they made it out alive and that they managed to kill the person who took out those other kids They also asked her about the stab franchise being on the verge of a return and Sydney dismissed it Basically saying she thinks she let her books say enough regarding the matter and she has no further comments So what's the older brother's issue here see? Sydney didn't do enough to advocate against the stab reboot in their eyes And they find it insulting that someone with her platform and influence would dodge a chance to make a positive change That could get the plug pulled on stab Sydney isn't the idol that they thought she was and now they hope that their own spree is ghostface Will open old wounds for Sydney while sending a direct message to Sunrise Studios that stab needs to stop What better way to do that in their mind than by knocking off the original final girl The ghostface attack at the beginning of the film is still connected to this online community of people That make bets on people's lives and the podcast kid just happened to be the unfortunate pick of the week at the time The group would pick a student at their school and bet on if they make it out alive That's why three or four other people were already dead before the opening attack So this group is in body embodying or embodies the thought process that the older brother and his little brother with the podcast have of how true crime has a Negative effect on the youth of America because look at what these teens are doing But where does the other protagonist girl and her friend group come in? Well her boyfriend was a member of this online betting group and the older brother found this out and Assumed that she and the rest of his friends knew about it But they didn't know the older brother's motive against them is just simply revenge for his little brother And it's also all tied to true crime and how these people represent everything He believes in terms of how it corrupts us since his brother almost lost his life Thanks to a sick game involving betting on people's lives The ultimate goal for them is getting caught Exposing the boyfriend and his betting community taking out the woman who isn't the person She thought she was in Sydney Prescott and getting the stab reboot canceled so the commentary here is the damage true crime has on some people and Stan culture and how a select few people put these complete strangers oftentimes celebrities on pedestals then place these Expectations on them and when said celebrities do not meet those Expectations they have meltdowns they start getting mad at the celebrity and again This is a complete stranger. They had no idea that they should be living up to these expectations I think that using Sydney Prescott to commentate on this would be great. She's written a book She's also at the center of an iconic horror franchise within this world. She's a real-life final girl So there's bound to be some lunatic fanatic out there of hers And what happens when said Luke one said fanatic is turned away from her They go off of the deep end and they don the ghost face mask to send a direct shot to Sunrise Studios in the hopes to get The stab reboot canceled but to also get back at Sydney Prescott for betraying the loyalty They've shown her for all these years loyalty She did not even know she had because again this person is a psychopath So what I've done is I've just constructed a story that is not rely too much on the past It's not digging up old wounds with Marine But it's also still very relevant to the toxic fandom things introduced in screen five Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you have area course Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification numbers video in the description. I'll have links on social media accounts I am on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know as any movies news or reviews you like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video

Welcome back to Investor Intel. I'm Peter Closy and today is Steven Berega from Romyos Gold Corp. Romyos is a multi-jurisdictional exploration company. We're going to talk about some of those jurisdictions. Welcome, Steven. Thanks for having me, Peter. How are you doing? I'm well.  We're all very particular about the way we spell our name, aren't we? The Stevens are. So the flagship property is up in the Golden Triangle in Northern BC, right? It's certainly one of the core assets that we have. As you mentioned, we're multi-jurisdictional and BC is definitely a major focus for us. We had a massive work program this past summer and we're fortunate enough to identify a very significant IPMT target with some of the work completed this summer. As you say, in the Golden Triangle, we're all on the southern boundary of the Galore Creek assets. That's a massive target that's co-owned by Newmont and Tech. We're along that southern boundary and their road access, proposed access road, partially completed road actually intersects the trek block. You have good access to your property. We certainly do. It's a kilometer away. There's a proposed mill site 10 kilometers away. I gave a speech in a follow-up article about seven years ago that the best mining story in the world was the Northwest Transmission Line. The federal government, the BC government poured almost $800 million into building that, and companies like yours are the beneficiary of that energy. Absolutely. No doubt about it. We have access to power. Of course, road access is something that is extraordinary in the Triangle. Some of the massive dollars being spent just to get into these properties for us to be able to have a road kilometer away and then a mill site proposed, not that far away either, as the crow flies, is very fortuitous. And you have maps and 3D models and everything that an investor would want available at the website, right? We certainly do. The target is about 800 meters long, approximately 500 meters wide. The IP shows it extending 650 meters deep, and the MT shows it going down an additional kilometer and a half. And that's when we cut it off. It shows it's going much deeper than that, but of course, it's not of interest past 2K. Okay, so our time is limited. You have a Quebec project. I'm more curious about the Nevada project. Nevada has consistently ranked one of the three top mining jurisdictions in the world. So what's going on in Nevada? I couldn't agree more with you. In fact, one of the reasons why I was brought on board was to try and streamline the company and decide how best to focus the company. And in my opinion, Nevada certainly should be our focus. So we have two core assets down in Nevada. One is called the Kincaid and one is called SCOSA. SCOSA is something that's been on our books for since 1999. We've had some extraordinary early day results, some bonanza grade drill results, and that was back in 2000. So 22 years ago, we did some small work programs, came back with some extremely positive gold results. And we basically, because of the price of gold being $250 an ounce, it simply wasn't a priority target. So I'm fortunate to be able to blow the dust off of this barn fine and get back to it. And we have a plan for drilling at SCOSA this year at Q1 and Q2, and a Q1 into Q2. Right. So that's post implementation of 43-101. So that means that's data you can rely upon. It is. It is certainly data we can rely upon. But it was very limited, very limited, and just a few holes, very narrow diameter core, and not very deep. So we got to get back there with a proper rig, drill offensive holes up the side. And essentially what we're after, boiling zone material, very similar to this. Is that up in the, sorry, Stephen, is that in the mountains or out in the flats? It's in, it's foothills, definitely not mountainous, but SCOSA is very accessible. It's in Northwestern state, and it's up by where the Rosebud and Highcroft would be. Yeah, past Winamaka, right? You lost to Winamaka. You got it. I've been to Winamaka. The great asset, I'm really looking forward to getting some drills turning. We've got some basic work to do. In fact, I had a 3D model recently commissioned to better understand what's been done to date. They only averaged mine down at SCOSA 400 feet. The average grade of the ore that came out over an ounce per ton. Some of it was so high grade, it just went straight into the vault. It wasn't processed. What about the other project in Nevada? It's called Kincaid. It's now in, now you're looking at Southwestern. It's down the Walker Lane area. It's just east of Hawthorne, and it's a property that we picked up when I joined the company just last year in November. It's 109 claims. It's really interesting. There's two sides to this story. There's the southern half and the northern half. On the northern half, we're looking at these large sort of blue sky scarring structures. The contact points with the granites on the northern extreme of the property. It's exciting. It's exactly the same structure that is being mined at the Isabella Pearl Mine, which is about 15 kilometers away. On the southern half of this property, it was a complete surprise to us when we were out there staking. There are former workings everywhere, and every time we hit an old adit, an old former working, we find this kind of material, this copper stained material, chrysocola. It is exciting. We've hit 16 targets so far. We've probably got another 20, 20 to 30 targets we just haven't got to yet. And of course, all of those historic workings appear in the government maps, right? That's right. Found one. We found one of them. It's an old working called the Silver King Mine, and we thought we were actually on it. And for those who are viewers here can go to one of our PowerPoint presentations on the website and you'll see we didn't find it. It's about four valleys further north to where we were, but these former workings are everywhere at its pits, trenches, and there's copper strewn across the entirety of the southern half of this property, and it's running with gold, silver, and both at times. So we're excited. It's early days. We've got to get some geologists on the ground, someone who can spend two months cataloging, sampling, and just better understanding what we see at surface. And then we'll get to some targets and we'll have a much better sense of what we'll be doing sometime in Q2 for upcoming drill programs. So when I look at your balance sheet, I look at your shares issued note, and I hear you say that sounds like we're unlocking value for shareholders in 2023. That's a goal. No question about it. I couldn't say it better. All right. So PDAC has been unfortunately moved back to the first week of March. I really liked it in June. Can you and I talk before that? We'll see what's going on. I look forward to it. Thanks very much for the time today, Peter. Steven Berega from Romeo's Gold, Peter Clausi signing off from Investor Intel. Thanks for your time. Have a great day.


All four play to try and battle with four Exeter. This is Colin, he takes a touch. Edwards to aim for, let's say by O'Donnell. Into at it on time, Bradford putting the pressure on. This is Elliot Watts, always in the crossbar. That would have won it for Bradford. Holes with the free kick. Plenty forwards here for the Bantamuses, been cleared away, the counter could be on. Kite with a good touch, and suddenly Matty J, racing free.  What a finish! Exeter leading extra time. He's good, he's free on the right-hand side. And he get the cross in. And Tengana! It's a two to the good. Oh, he's long. Backling away, they win it back temporarily. Oh! Well, that was a poor challenge. The angle's already on, a yellow, and there's a second to be followed by a red, and Bradford are down to ten. It's decent control. And this is Matty J, he's in again! He scores again! Exeter have three. Exeter have been brilliant in extra time. Matty J's on a hat-trick, and he's still going forwards. Here! Oh, denied by the post! Power-unlucky! Exeter, too good in extra time. They've beaten Bradford here by three goals to now.


Alright, welcome everybody. Quite the crowd, very cool. So, welcome. I'm going to talk today a little bit about hypnosis and social engineering and NLP and just all of the things that allow us to persuade other people. And you will notice that there are two names on the presentation slides and on the program, but my partner Anton is not going to be here today. I got an email yesterday and just sort of out of the blue. Two line email, hey Mike, not going to make it. So, you're on by yourself. I was like, okay then. Little bit of confusion. Not quite what we had planned, and of course we had a plan for how this was going to go. And so, sort of winging it, but that's how things go sometimes. And actually, which that sort of reminds me of a bit of a story, because I had the weirdest experience yesterday. I was walking into Caesars. I spoke yesterday on security careers. I don't know how many of you were there, but I was walking into Caesars to meet with my co-presenter on the career talk. And as I got out of the taxi, the weirdest thing happened to me. And I was walking up to the front door and this girl comes running out of Caesars, runs up to me, grabs me by the hands and starts spinning me around dancing. She's out of nowhere.  It was very, very, very confusing. And I had no idea what that was about. But she reminded me of another story. So, the thing you'll notice about hypnotists is we like to tell stories. And I will explain some of that later, but for the time being I'm just going to tell the story that she reminded me of, because as I was spinning around in circles out in the middle of the taxi stand at Caesars, I got to thinking, as I'm sure all of you would, about a story that a coach of mine once told. And it was an ancient story about a young boy in a monastery in Japan. Because of course, a girl dancing with you in front of Caesars would remind you of a kid in a monastery. But he was a particularly mischievous young boy. And his name was Koji. And Koji ended up in the monastery because his parents had shipped him there.  It's really what it came down to. And he kept getting himself in trouble. And when he went to school, you know, he didn't listen. He didn't pay attention in class. You know, he was always playing tricks. And the more bored he got in school, the more trouble he got into. I'm sure there's nobody in this audience who can relate to that. And so his parents shipped him off. And all was good for a couple of weeks. And Koji eventually, when he got to the monastery, got himself into trouble. And he got pulled into the headmaster's quarters. And remember, this is a Japanese monastery in the 17th century. And the headmasters were not exactly as nice as they are today. They had canes and liked to use corporal punishment. So when Koji was in the headmaster's office, the headmaster gets out this boy-sized jar of candy. He's sitting on this couch, eating this jar of candy. That's absolutely huge. And the headmaster, as he was doling out Koji's punishment, just kept eating his candy the whole time. And, you know, this is a boy in a monastery who is mischievous and all that. And he asks the headmaster if he can have some candy. And the headmaster says, no, this is candy to adults, but it's poison to young boys. Kind of lie that adults often tell young children. And so Koji received his punishment and he was asked to do extra chores. That was fine. Koji did his extra chores. He was punished and all was monastery life. But soon enough the headmaster was called away. The headmaster had to go on a trip as they often did.  And so the headmaster was away for weeks. And while the headmaster was away, all was well for a little while. Koji was doing his extra chores. And then one night all the boys were laying up in bed and all was quiet. And Koji said, hey guys, I know where we can get some candy. And they were like, yeah, whatever, there's no candy in this monastery. And he's like, no, seriously, I know where we can get some. And so they snuck up to the headmaster's office because Koji was a troublemaker and liked to lead his friends in getting in trouble. And when they got to the headmaster's office, you know, I mean it's a huge jar of candy, right? And they were only going to eat a little bit. They ate a couple pieces off the top. And they ate a couple more pieces. And then a couple more pieces. And then a couple more. And soon enough the jar was empty. And of course their thought was, well, you know, if we only had a few, he wouldn't have noticed. But how are we going to hide this? You know, because the jar is empty. I mean, this is a huge jar of candy. It's not like the guy's not going to notice. And so Koji goes, no, wait, I've got a plan. And in the headmaster's office was a vase. And this was a vase that was a very special vase. It had been around for hundreds of years. It was the prize possession of the monastery. And Koji walked over to the place where the vase was and picked it up and slammed it on the floor, breaking it into a million pieces.  And so hypnosis and influence. I'm going to talk about all the different ways that we influence each other while I'm up here today. It's funny, I can't stand still while I'm talking, so I have to move around.  So we use language to influence each other. And when we talk about social engineering what isn't social engineering if you really think about it? I mean, when we talk about social engineering in this context, we're usually talking about tricking someone into giving us their password or giving us access we wouldn't normally have. It's really the same act as any act of influence. We do all sorts of things to influence each other on a daily basis that is really social engineering. And when it comes right down to it, language is really the primary form of influence. Language is what we use to influence each other every day. When talking about language, language actually has three main functions when it comes to representing experience. Let me back up for a second. First, let me just assert that language is what we use to map experience to each other. If I want to tell you about my day, for example, if I want to represent to you about the day I had last night or yesterday or the party that we had or what we were doing at the bar last night I have to use language to do it. But in so doing I do three things to that piece of experience. When I have a piece of experience it's a rich model. I have rich sensory representation of all the parts of the experience. I have awareness of how my left foot felt in the experience. And I have awareness of every piece of visual information coming at me. I can notice that the lights dim over there and brighter over here. But when I'm talking to you I can't do that. Because if I gave you that much information while talking you would be bored instantly. It would be like it would be information overload. So language is actually used to do three things. We delete parts of experience. If I was talking about my experience of this talk I probably wouldn't mention that that corner of the room is dark. But it's part of my experience. I would just delete it while I was using the language. I distort things because language is by nature distorted. You can't translate the experience directly into language. Language has a function where it changes the quality of the experience and we generalize. Because if we didn't generalize it would be absolute information overload. And so when people started really researching the way that language works in influence they found that there were really two models. There's two models for using language and one is really an information model. It's called the meta model. And the other is an influence. It's a model for influence and it's called the Milton model and we'll get to both of those. But the meta model is really about understanding precision in language. It's about overcoming those three things I was just talking about. It's about overcoming the deletion, the distortion and the generalization. So for example let me use a really simple example. If I said the cat chased the rat it's a simple sentence, simple example. How much information is actually left out of that? Where was the cat chasing the rat? What color was the cat? What color was the rat? How fast were they going? There's all these pieces of information that are not part of that sentence that if you're trying to get information from me and think about an influence situation if someone says something to you you often need more information from them in order to go anywhere with it. You often want more information.  And you realize that what they just said to you is but a small part of what rich experience is going on in their mind no matter how crazy that experience might be, right? And the meta model is really about pulling that information back. And so if you read about the meta model you'll find that it's mostly concerned with how do you get the information that's left out. Chomsky called the difference between the two sets of information the surface structure of the linguistic act and the deep structure. The surface structure is what you hear. The surface structure is the sentence that I'm saying. The deep structure is all the representation that underlies it. So for example if I were to say what color is this dog sitting on the table right here?  How many people thought the dog was black? Nobody? So really what it comes down to is recovering the information that was deleted and distorted. Now that's incredibly useful but it's not that useful for influence. Because it's really about recovering information rather than actually making people do things. And what they found was when they started studying people who knew how to make people do things they looked at this guy. That's a picture of Milton Erickson. Erickson was, is widely regarded as the world's greatest hypnotist. He died in like 1980 but he was a, I mean he was the leading practitioner of hypnotism from about 1940 to about 1980. I mean the man published volumes of work on influence. And Erickson was a particularly interesting character. He was, when he was a young boy he got polio. And he was forced, he was basically immobile for about a year and a half. And all he could do was lay in bed and watch the people around him. And so he became very precise at watching people. And he started to notice how people interacted with each other and what language did to them. And so Erickson developed this style of influencing people that was unparalleled. And his quirks and idiosyncrasies are well-known in hypnosis to this day. But Erickson was easily the most brilliant communicator probably of any generation we've ever seen. Because he started to realize that there are, there is a way to communicate with someone. And it's been described as artfully vague that allows a person to remain in their experience. So if I was taught, let me actually demonstrate with an example. So if I'm talking about, you know, we're outside walking and we're walking along and it's a beautiful sunny day and you can look up and you can notice how blue the sky is.  How many people had the rhinoceros in the picture before I said it? Yeah, exactly. So the point was, I know it's a strange example but there's a point there. The point was you didn't have that as part of your experience. What Erickson would do was map his communication to the experience that everyone already had. So Erickson was brilliant in using things like sensory generalization. If he was talking to you and, you know, trying to influence you, he wouldn't say and you can notice that it feels kind of warm in here. Because to some people maybe it doesn't feel kind of warm in here. He would say something like and you can notice that there's a sensation in the air and it might be warm and it might be cold but you can feel something. And you notice it's a true statement no matter where you are. No matter who you are in the room it's a true statement. And so you're pacing the person's experience. By talking about something that the person has to experience, they have no choice but to agree. And agreement is fundamentally the base unit of influence. Everyone's been in a situation where you're trying to convince someone else that they're wrong and convince them that your point is right. And that is usually the hardest way to get anyone to do anything. It's usually the hardest way to get influence is to try and convince the person that you're smarter than they are. The real way to actually make influence happen is to convince them that it was their idea all along and they were smart all along right? So Erickson was brilliant in making sure that no one ever disagreed with him. And yet at the same time he would lead the person through that agreement to the point that he wanted them to make. The other thing that Erickson did really brilliantly was understanding the way that language can create confusion. Erickson would use, Erickson realized that negation doesn't exist in language. Or sorry, negation only exists in language. It doesn't exist in the human mind. Think about this. Well, alright, let's try the same example as before. The cat's not chasing the rat. What does that sentence mean? How do you represent that sentence?  You can't imagine the cat not chasing the rat. You can only imagine the cat chasing the rat and then not doing it. And so by using negation he realized that he could force people to think of things that they weren't willing to think about otherwise. We've all probably experienced this in some way at some time. Another one that he liked was tag questions. And this is one that's incredibly powerful and I would urge you to play with it because it's a really cool one. Tag questions are using negation at the end of a sentence. So, you know, you can imagine that things are going well, can't you? Or you will, won't you? By using the positive form of the sentence and the negative form of the sentence, the mind gets confused. You probably find yourself wanting to agree with that sentence even if it doesn't actually map to your experience because by putting both of those things together, it's incredibly confusing for the mind. And confusion is really where it all comes down to. I mean, the mind has a limit on processing power, just like a computer. I mean, literally many of the same concepts, I did a talk last year at Hope called Hacking the Mind where I actually spent the whole time mapping all of the things that we do in terms of breaking into computers into the way that we can use language to influence each other. And one of the ways that we do that is by creating processing lag. A great example is that one of the things that they found is that if I use a non grammatical sentence and then follow it up with a command, you are four times more likely to follow through with whatever I command you to do than if I use a grammatical sentence in front of it.  You will follow it whether you like it or not. It's really kind of funny. And it all comes down to confusion. I had a hypnosis teacher who once got up in front of the audience and said, do you realize you're not thinking right now of what I'm not saying? And can you realize that it's not that easy to not know what I'm going to say next? But even when you're not knowing it, I'm knowing it and you're not.  Brilliant stuff. Milton realized this really early on. So Milton would do really funny things in the middle of talking. He'd just leave out words. He'd just be talking and he'd be saying a sentence like, and you don't know whether your right hand or your left hand is going to lift or it's going to. And then you'll find that you don't know what's going to happen. And he just leaves words out of the middle of sentences.  And fills it in, the next thing goes directly into the unconscious mind. It's literally, it's almost like a buffer overflow. You know, it literally just you know, it just jumps into the instruction stack and you have no power over it. It's not so good for you. So if anything you can do to literally, anything you can do to overwhelm the senses creates an opportunity for influence.  Guess what? That stuff all went right into your unconscious mind. A great, great study just, I read about like two weeks ago, they did a really cool study where they were trying to figure out how to, I don't remember exactly what the details of the study were. It was, they took a bunch of college kids and they were trying to educate them on the evils of fraternities. I mean, just some random thing, that was what it was, but totally random. And they took two groups and they put one group in a room and made them listen to a lecture. And they put another group in a room and made them listen to the same lecture but made them watch TV at the same time. The ones that watch TV were 50% more swayed by the argument than the ones that didn't because there was confusion at the same time. Their senses were overwhelmed and all of that argument went directly to the unconscious and it made massive, massive influence. So you'll find that if you're trying to do two things at once, that stuff goes in really well. So it's one of the reasons, and you know, when we bring it back to social engineering for a second, it's one of the reasons that overwhelm works so well in social engineering. You know, we set up a situation where either you try and emotionally overwhelm them by throwing, you know, you're yelling or whatever, throwing a lot of information at them at once, or you try and set up a situation where it's a really busy situation and you're just trying to bypass because of the busyness. That overwhelm allows you to create influence far more easily than when you're not overwhelmed at the same time. So switching gears for a second, because overwhelm is just one piece. The real thing about influence is that it's all about framing. Framing is a word that was coined by George Lakoff. It actually stands for contextual or cognitive frames. And basically really what it means is context. If you put anyone in the right context, they will do anything. Erickson, you know, we have this sort of silly social mental image of hypnotists as sort of this evil influencer and hypnosis as this state where people will do anything, but actually what's really interesting about hypnosis is no one will violate their own ethical code. If you won't do something, you know, I actually, I always use alcohol as a great example. If you won't do something drunk, you won't do it under hypnosis. So if you guys have all probably seen stage hypnotists, yeah? You know how they always get someone up on stage who wants to take off their clothes? Guess what? They wanted to take off their clothes, you know, before they got on stage. So, and actually they didn't, I'm being flipped because they didn't want to take off their clothes, but it wasn't a violation of their ethical code to do so. But what Erickson found is he, and this was a really interesting experiment. He did an experiment with the military and he took all these soldiers, and he was, this was in the 50's they were trying to figure out the limits of hypnosis.  Because they're so trained not to do so, right? There's so much training to obey orders and there's so much, you know, in built ethics around not doing so, he was trying to set up a situation where that would work. And they found that hypnosis wouldn't do it. You could not hypnotize anyone to do that. But he, I mean Erickson was the kind of guy who was like, he had to find a way. So what he did was he set up a frame, and the frame was really simple. The CEO's a traitor. And as soon as he set the frame that the CEO's a traitor, and convinced them that was true, they were willing to do something that wasn't ethical, you know, that was against their ethical code. And what it really comes down to is framing. I had a frame up here as I was telling the story, and it's because I was using the story as a frame for this entire talk. Because what we find is that if you set a frame everything else that follows falls into it. I was reading yesterday, a good friend of mine sent me a story that was in the New York Times the other day about an experiment they just did in a university setting. And basically how it worked was they had this, you know, they had the student subjects come to the, come to the lab and they were to work together with somebody on a problem. And then they were to rate the person as to how much they liked them. And this is not a particularly interesting study except the difference between the two groups was that before they got into the room, someone ran into them in the hall with a cup of coffee, dropped their book and said for half of the group said, can you hold my coffee while I do this? And had the person do them a favor. You know, before they even got to the study completely unrelated, had them do them a favor before they got to the room. And they found that the reactions of the people who did the favor for someone before they got to the room to the cooperative, you know, their rating of the cooperativeness of the person they were solving the problem with was significantly higher than if they didn't do that. And it was all about the frame. You'll find that psychologists also call it priming. Basically they set up a situation that primed the person to be in a mood where they wanted to work with someone. Where I had done a favor for someone two seconds ago and now I walk in to work with somebody and we work together and I think for some reason that this person is more cooperative than I would have otherwise. Because I'm already in a cooperative mood. The interaction in the hallway set the cooperative frame.  It's because you set the frame in the morning. The frame was set before you got there. Now, I mean this is obviously a key of influence. If I can set a frame for an interaction, if I can set a situation and I can prime you to have certain responses, then everything that follows can also fit in that frame. And that's what, so there's a brilliant researcher named Robert Cialdini. And he is this incredible PhD researcher, and I don't remember what university he's at, but has done some of the coolest research on influence out there. And though he wouldn't call it this, it's all about framing. And the three frames that I'm going to, you know, talk about, he's done more than this, but these are the three that I particularly find interesting are reciprocation, social proof and authority. So reciprocation is a pretty easy one. If someone does something for you, you will do something for them. You know, it's why time shares get sold. Everybody knows that time share is a bad deal. But you know what? They give you all this stuff.  In this case, your money forever. Right?   I mean, the same thing for infomercials. But wait, there's more. We'll give you a free gift. And suddenly you're picking up the phone. They haven't even given you the free gift yet, and you're picking up the phone, because reciprocation is that strong.  It's inbuilt into our evolutionary circuitry. Right? If you think about why in terms of natural selection, it actually makes sense. Humans aren't fast or strong or particularly well suited to survive out in the wilderness, except in our ability to cooperate. So the people who are most built to cooperate, back in the 10,000 years ago caveman days, were the ones most likely to survive. So the people who had this reciprocation gene built into them were more likely to be here. So we have this hard wired desire to reciprocate. I read another study recently and sort of back to the priming one that I was just talking about that actually showed that if you really want to cement a friendship, if you really want to make someone your friend forever, have them do a favor for you. Seriously, and it's bizarre. I've actually tried it. It's really quite cool. If somebody gives you a ride somewhere or whatever, they are much more likely to remain your friend and to solidify that relationship than if you do a favor for them even. And I don't know why that is, but there's something about doing something that makes a person cooperate with you that is evolutionarily just a draw to remain in relationship. I'm sure you can figure out how that's useful in any sort of social engineering sort of situation. So social proof is another interesting one. And social proof is sort of the, everyone's probably experienced it most usefully in restaurants. You're walking along the street and you're looking for a place to go to dinner. There's two restaurants next to each other. One is completely empty. One is lined up out the door. Which one do you go to? 99% of people go to the one that's lined up out the door even though it means they have to wait. Why? Because when we look at it we assume that if everybody is going there it must be good. Even though they all assume that too. At the beginning there was one person in that one and nobody in the next one and the second person went to that one. And so that is the theory of social proof. Literally if a bunch of people believe something's good everybody will believe it's good.  As long as you believe in the judgment of the people. And that sort of goes right along with authority. And both of these, I was talking about stage hypnosis a little bit earlier. Both of these are really what stage hypnosis is all about. Stage hypnosis is a really funny thing and it has almost nothing to do with real hypnosis. With real therapeutic hypnosis or real influence. Stage hypnosis is really a situation of these three things. The frame is really simple. I'm the guy on the stage. I have authority just by nature of being the guy with the mic. And if everybody's in the room I already have social proof. So if I get you up on stage you're very likely to listen to me. Because the frame is such that you have no real choice. You have all the things working for me. And if I do something good for you well then you have to reciprocate. Seriously next time you see a stage hypnosis show just focus on how the frame is set up. They get a whole bunch of people up on stage and they're all set up in a situation where they have to go along it has nothing to do with the hypnotist actually influencing them. The frame influenced them before they even got up on the stage. There's a whole lot of hypnosis. Let me backtrack a little bit and explain hypnosis. I mentioned we all have the cultural biasing of what hypnosis is. It's like the evil looking guy with the goatee swinging the watch in front of people. I like to say that that's as much real hypnosis as the movie Hackers was. Real hacking. Seriously like hypnosis and it's actually a really good metaphor because much like real hacking is really boring to watch. Real hypnosis is really boring to watch. There's nothing exciting about it and there's really nothing sort of uber cool about it. But what it really is is the art of using attention to put someone in a place where they're critical faculty suspended. The mind is basically a two part entity. There's the conscious mind which is about that big and then there's the unconscious mind which is this vast ocean doing all this cool stuff that you're not even aware of. I mean how many people sitting out there right now are actually sitting thinking about making their heart beat or aware of the feeling in the pinky on their left hand or noticing the background noise instead of my voice. All that was available unconsciously. Your unconscious was taking all of that in as I was talking. But you weren't aware of any of it consciously until I pointed out. Now the barrier between those two parts of your mind is known as the critical faculty. It sort of filters the stuff that gets to bubble up. Hypnosis is really just using attention in such a way to suspend the action of the critical faculty to allow anything to go in and anything to come out. It's why it's particularly interesting in using it for therapy. Things like stopping smoking and all that sort of thing because you can actually use it to help a person do the things they want to do. And in the old days it was really about structured attention. Hypnosis was very much the watch-the-watch induction. Your eyes are getting very sleepy. You're getting tired. All this kind of stuff. That was really sort of the old school way to do it. The tone in my voice probably makes it very clear that I'm not a fan of that. It's sort of hitting a mosquito with a sledge hammer.  And if you read any of the things he did he would literally just tell stories. He'd just talk. And suddenly people would have just these massive changes in their lives because he was brilliant at using unstructured attention. He was brilliant at using metaphor. Because what it comes to is that humans think in a very particular way. Which of course reminds me of a story. And this is a story that was told by the sociologist Gregory Bateson. And I've updated a bit for current day because it was told in the 70s so it was particularly lame. So Bateson was telling the story and the story sort of went like this. He was talking about when he was in university and his roommate was a computer hacker. He's actually a programmer but we would call the roommate a hacker. And he gets control of this massive supercomputer. And he's playing around and running commands. And Bateson was a sociologist.  And the hackers like what? What kind of tough question? And Bateson says ask it if it computes that it will ever think like a human being. And so you know types it in. And the computer you know words and clicks and does all the things that large rooms of computing power do. And eventually they you know it comes up with a result. And the result is that reminds me of a story. Because that's the way that human beings think. We think in stories and metaphors. If you think about how you learn anything. Almost all learning when you're past you know about six years old is in metaphor. You know you relate this new experience to something you already know.  And the key there is that if you understand the way that metaphor works. And the way that those patterns get embedded into the mind. You realize that these stories actually bypass the critical faculty. Because the conscious mind thinks in data. You know when I'm up here and you're listening to me. Your conscious mind is processing each of the words linearly and sequentially and going through all the things I'm saying. Your unconscious mind is structuring the pattern of what I'm saying.  You will relate that pattern back to all the things I want you to relate it to. Unconsciously. You won't have any awareness that you're doing it. But you'll do it whether you like it or not. Because that's the way that our mind works. So if I'm an artful storyteller. If I can get up here and structure a story in the right way. I can change the way that you look at the world. And that works even better if I can do it with more than one story. Because the way that the human mind works the human mind thinks in terms of open loops. And when I say an open loop it's literally just the number of bringing it back to Unix for a second. It's literally the number of processes that are running in memory at any given time. If I open a whole bunch of loops and don't close them at some point you just lose the ability to continue to keep track. And it all just starts going haywire. It's very interesting. You can ultimately fork bomb the human mind. It's quite a cool experience. And really it works pretty simply. I start telling you a story. I start a loop. And I don't finish the story and I start telling another loop. And I don't finish that one. And I leave it open and I open another one. And then bad things happen. Well actually, bad things if I'm nefarious, right? You'll notice this a lot if you watch political speech. They will open so many loops in the middle of a speech that you'll just sort of stop paying attention. Has anybody ever noticed how boring political speeches are? You know why? Because they're structuring it so that your mind goes somewhere else. Because when your conscious mind goes somewhere else they're speaking directly unconsciously. The whole purpose of that type of speech is to literally open a whole bunch of loops. You know they'll be talking about taxes and then they'll be talking about immigration and then it'll be foreign policy. And then you don't know what they're talking about. And then you'll notice that at the end of the speech they'll finish all those thoughts. But in the middle all that stuff went just directly into your mind. And it's really quite messed up. And it's really quite interesting to be able to structure attention that way. And to structure language that way so as to have that kind of influence. But there's another language pattern I actually want to get to. Because humans actually have one of the most insidious backdoors around. And I mentioned the negation backdoor earlier. You know if I negate something you must process it. You must actually run the instruction in order to figure out what it was you were negating. But there's another one that's even more insidious. And so seriously can you imagine what it would be like if there was a language pattern that you actually had to process in order to even eat. Anytime you heard it you had to process it before you could do anything with it. I mean this pattern exists. Anybody know what it is? No not body language. What is it? Nicely done. Yes that was the answer. The answer is questions. In order to process a question in order to hear a question you have to execute the instruction. Can you imagine what a purple elephant looks like? Just by me asking it you did it. In order to hear the sentence you had to imagine what a purple elephant looks like to understand the sentence. So if I ask you a question like could you imagine what it would be like if you gave me your password? You all just imagined what it would be like to give me your password. Now none of you are necessarily going to do it. But the point is I'm standing up here controlling all of your minds. I saw a t-shirt earlier this week actually which was my favorite t-shirt that I've ever seen. I've seen it twice. I saw it once last year before Hope. There's a guy walking around and the t-shirt said by reading this you have given me control of your mind. And I was like oh brilliant because literally by reading it he was inputting instructions. And if it had been a question in order to process it you had to realize that it was giving you control of the mind. Sort of tying it all together. There are some really interesting tricks you can do with language. And I mean obviously I've just sort of scratched the surface here. I've not gone particularly deep on a lot of this stuff. I could talk for days on it mostly because this stuff is so fascinating. I mean there are massive books on all the neat tricks you can do with language to influence another's mind. The meta model and the Milton model are two really interesting ones. Questions, I mean play with questions. I urge all of you just to see the things you can put in other people's brains with questions. I had a friend in college who liked to pick up women who was brilliant. I don't think he ever told anyone anything. He just asked a lot of questions. And if you ask artful questions you have people imagining things that they wouldn't have been imagining otherwise, right? They have to process it. Especially if they're in the right frame. If you put someone in the right frame and start asking them the right questions and start using language the right way, you can do some really interesting things. And so closing the frame because we left good old Koji with a broken vase on the floor. So the headmaster comes back and I mean obviously this is the prized possession of the monastery and he finds the vase on the floor and he calls all the boys into the common room downstairs and lines them up and says who did this?  And Koji steps forward and he says I did sir. All the boys are like oh god he's dead now. He is toast. And so the headmaster grabs him by the ear and drags him up to his office and demands an explanation. And Koji says you gave me extra chores. So I came up here and you were away and I decided to clean your office. And I knocked the vase over with the broom and I was so upset I couldn't handle it. I just wanted to die. I couldn't even handle it. So I started eating the candy. And I didn't die and then I ate more. And I guess I'm immune to the poison. So Koji went back to his room and all the boys are like what happened?  And Koji said no, when I left his office I bowed to him and he bowed to me. And this was all inspired by the girl who was dancing with me. And I was saying as she stopped spinning me around she literally starts running the other direction.  She said that. And just kept going. And so, yes I do still have a wallet. So that confusion was also inspired by the email I got from Anton who I really wish could have been here. But I certainly hope he's alright and I certainly, we would have had a lot of fun if he was here but I've had a lot of fun even with him not here and I hope you all have enjoyed it. I'll take questions. I don't know, do I have time to take questions up here? So I'm going to go to the Q&A room. If anybody wants to ask questions please come there.


to Germany, from Alaska to Puerto Rico. All over the world, the United States Army is on the alert to defend our country, you, the American people, against aggression. This is the Big Picture, an official television report to the nation from the United States Army. Now to show you part of the Big Picture, here is Sergeant Stuart Queen. We are continuing our special series of first-hand reports of America's continental armies. Our subject for this issue of the Big Picture is 4th Army, its principal units and installations. 4th Army has many interesting activities, such as the development and testing of guided missiles, the big guns of the artillery, and the training program of Army aviation. But it also contains the sites of many historic relics of America's great expansion in the last century. Now here is our guide, Lieutenant John Mortimer. This is Lieutenant John Mortimer and the Big Picture camera. This week we're taking you on a tour of 4th Army. At Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, headquarters of 4th Army, we enter the Fame Quadrangle. In 1846, this post was established as a training center where volunteers from the north were trained and sent to join General Taylor's Army in Mexico. Here, tame deer run unhappard through the grounds. 1898 became a memorable year in San Antonio history when Colonel Leonard Wood arrived to prepare for the encampment and training of Teddy Roosevelt and his rough riders before they went to Cuba. Throughout the grounds, there are many reminders of earlier times in the 4th's history. During those early days, this structure was built as tall as a nine-story building to hold a water tank high enough to provide enough pressure to carry water to all parts of the encampment. From this tower, one can see east, north, west, and south, the whole sweeping area of Fort Sam Houston. But perhaps the most colorful page of Texas history can be found at the first military center at San Antonio, the Alamo. The most historic battle in Texas was waged within these walls. In 1836, 184 Texans fought the last man against the attack led by Mexico's general, Santa Aña. Fighting raised around the church and convent, surrounded by this wall, eight feet high and two-and-one-half feet wide. One of the famous heroes, David Crockett, fought battlesly during the battle, as did Colonel James Bowie, both dying in the cause to send the cry, remember the Alamo, ringing through Texas history. The 4th Army is contributing to the history, not only of Texas, but of the entire southwest. Here is 4th Army's commanding general, Lieutenant General I.D. White. Good morning, General White. Well, I see you have the camera set up for the big pictures tour of the 4th Army area. Yes, sir. We're getting ready for a trip around your Army area. As commanding general of 4th Army, sir, would you tell us about the mission of 4th Army? I'd be glad to. The mission of the 4th Army is to administer and to supply and to train all of the Army units in our 5-state Army area. And what are those 5 states, sir? The states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma. I see. Now our first stop, sir, will be Fort Hood, Texas. What might be of interest to our big picture audience there? Well, Fort Hood is the home of the famous 1st Armored Division, one of our really great divisions of World War II. And they have just had assigned to them a new armored personnel carrier, which I think your audience would find of great interest. Well, that sounds very interesting. Our next stop, sir, is Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Fort Sill is the home of the artillery center. Some people call it the artillery center of the world. There, perhaps the atomic cannon would be of considerable interest to you. And also, perhaps your audience would like to take a look at the Army's light aviation school. Our next stop is Western Texas and Fort Bliss. Fort Bliss has the Army's anti-aircraft and guided missile center. I'm sure that your audience has heard a great deal about the Nike guided missile. And I'm sure that they would like to see something of it. Perhaps you can get something on that out there. And then we're going on to White Sands, the proving ground. Well, I guess there the perhaps the most interesting thing would be the scientists who work on the guided missiles. That all sounds very interesting, General.  Well, good luck to you. Thank you very much, sir. After talking with General White, the big picture camera goes to another part of Fort Sam Houston to take in the Brook Army Medical Center. Here at Brook Army Hospital, the unforgettable words of Abraham Lincoln to care for him who shall have borne the battle are engraved not only in stone, but in the hearts of those who have made the care of the wounded their life's work. Their dedication has made healing an exact science and help lower the combat mortality rate. Dedicated to the same end is the Center's Surgical Research Unit. Here, technicians work unceasingly to save the lives and speed the recovery of the wounded and injured. To aid them in their tasks, they have available the most advanced equipment science can provide. It was in 1920 that the Surgeon General established an institution to provide complete coverage of field medicine in all wartime aspects. This institution is the Medical Field Service School, where Army medics learn to conserve the fighting strength of combat units. They learn this on a nearby training field where simulated problems in evacuation are carried out. In battle, wounded men must be removed with the greatest speed, and these medics drill constantly in the techniques to accomplish that. The wounded man is placed aboard the helicopter and protected from the wind and elements by a plastic hood. The helicopter is the newest bit of equipment used in medical evacuation. In Korea, it made a dramatic contribution to the lowering of casualty rates because of its ability to reach inaccessible places and lift itself into the air quickly. The helicopter speedily carries the wounded to the nearest hospital unit where they will be treated with skill and started back on the road to recovery. Confident that the Army Medical Service Training is meeting the newest challenge in the evacuation and treatment of combat wounded, the big picture camera rolls away from the oldest fort in the Great Southwest and the headquarters of military activities in five states of the region. Our itinerary sends us some 150 miles northward in the vast state of Texas, to Fort Hood, activated in World War II. Here, an intensive armored training program aims at combat readiness for a proud old division which won fame in African Italy and then was reactivated in 1951, the first armored division. A tank infantry problem is being run here. Sergeant, you're in a structure here, aren't you? Yes, I am. Well, you'd be just the man to tell us about this armored personnel carrier. How is it so useful to the infantry? Well, the armored personnel carrier is useful in such a way that it protects lives. Also, it will take them in on the objective underneath the enemy of small arms fire and the enemy artillery fire. We can get the objective underneath our own artillery fire. I see you're all loaded here. Yes, we are. Would you like to go along and see what happens? I'll be fine. Get the proper gear here. You've got to have the right gear here. The other personnel carriers move out with us. The tank's full in line. The tank infantry team is on the way. Together, the components of the team push towards the objective, the hill that lies directly ahead of us. From inside the personnel carrier, we hear a barrage of shell fire late on the objective. Approximately time-fired to keep the enemy pinned down by fragments burst over the heads of the empty carriers we're riding in, making us very grateful for the carrier's protected shell of armor. This is the part of the operation which proves the real value of the personnel carrier. We go forward under the overhead fire while the enemy is held coupless and immobile in their positions. A tank infantry operation is a coordinated movement in which each vehicle, each man has a specific function. On predetermined signal, the overhead proximity fire ceases and precisely at that time before the enemy has time to take up their position and continue to fire the personnel carrier's hull and the infantry men dismount to take over our part of the operation to pose with the enemy and take the hill. Leaving these trainees who are being taught the importance of teamwork between infantry, armor and artillery, the big picture camera wins its way northward once more. Our next stop will be the Army's artillery center to see the greatest school of its type in the world at Fort Sill, Oklahoma where the techniques of artillery support are taught. Proud of their heritage, the big gun people have named the two largest buildings at Fort Sill after artillery men who died in World War II. McNair Hall commemorates Lieutenant General Leslie J. McNair killed while observing the American attack at St. Louis, France. Serby Hall honors Brigadier General Edmund W. Serby, artillery officer of 3rd Army's 80th Infantry Division who died fighting off a German tank attack with an M1 rifle. We leave the main part of camp and head out toward the firing range. Along the road are specimens of the field artillery which was responsible for a great percentage of the enemy battle casualties in World War II. We pass artillery trainees practicing the tracking of targets by means of radar. We go now to watch the firing problem of a 280-millimeter gun. Corporal, what is this problem you're firing? Sir, this problem here is a day problem, dawn problem, sir, which we are firing a 280-millimeter gun. It is a problem which we take in our battery test. We have three tests, day, night, and dawn, which determines whether the battery will pass to go on to further locations. Are they just about ready to fire now? Yes, sir. It's about 1-0 seconds. That's pretty smooth operation. Yes, sir. That weapon is very smooth. It has two recoils to it. Now, what would you say standing back here, how that looked to you? Is that a good fire? Yes, sir. That was a very good fire considering the terrain and different locations of the weapon and different things about the weapon. That was a very good shoot. But there will have to be some tabulations made before you know whether you're on your way or not to a new location. Yes, sir. We have umpires in the area which are scoring us on every movement we make. We cannot go out into the open. We have to stay underneath trees, and such things as that. They check everything we do. Thank you very much, Bob. It was nice to talk to you. Yes, sir. Another part of Fort Sill is gaining attention these days. The Big Picture camera visits the Army Aviation School where the sky is dotted with training planes and the increasingly popular helicopters. I'm Lieutenant John Mortimer, Big Picture Camera. I'm glad to know you. I'm Captain Moffill. Sir, are you instructor here? That's right, yes. I'm the Aviation School. I wonder if we could interrupt you for a moment. Oh, certainly, yes. Lieutenant Phillips, an excuse, may I please? We'd like to find out about some of the activities going on here at the Aviation School. On our way out, we saw all these planes up in the air. How do you control so many aircraft at one time? Well, the best way for that would be to go to the control tower at postfield itself. Oh, fine. You can see the traffic directed there. I'd like you to meet Lieutenant John Mortimer at the Big Picture. Good morning, sir. How are you? You certainly keep that traffic on snarl upstairs. Thanks, Lieutenant. We tried. It gets kind of rough sometime, especially when our classes go out and we have about 30 or 40 aircraft to contend with in five-second intervals. Well, how many would that say in a month be landings? Well, it's hard to say. Sometime we forget. Well, now, where do you get all this training here? Well, sir, when we first come here, we're put on the job training for 30 days and then we're sent to school. I went to Olathe Air Station in Kansas and some of the others went to Keesler Air Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. And after that? Well, then we come back here and we're put on the job for about six months to see if we're suited for it. Well, what if you're not suitable? Well, then you're put in some other aviation job so that your training won't go to waste. Why are you smiling? Well, sir, I was just thinking, and time went by so fast I didn't realize that I'd been here over nine months. I guess I'm in. You're in. That's fine.  Yes, sir. I certainly do. Thank you very much. You've been lucky. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Come on over on this side of the Tower, Lieutenant, and we'll see some of the students trying out their wings. Now, these planes are passing short field landings and takeoffs. That's the takeoff barrier right there. That's right. Now, this plane is passing into position. Well, hold his brakes, run up his throttle, and he'll release his brakes, keeping his tail low. Just before the aircraft gets to the barrier, you leave the ground at almost stalling speed to clear the barrier. Now, besides taking off, they land for this efficiency... That's right. Now, you look right over here, and you have another aircraft that you're going to make a short field landing over this simulated barrier. And when they're through with this type of training, they're all set for practically any type of field. That's right. They leave the simulated barriers here. We'll make this pilot efficient enough to go into short fields over trees, houses, or other actual obstacles. That's a pretty short landing right there. That's the landing roll that the aircraft makes. It's all very interesting, Captain. Thank you very much. You're welcome, Lieutenant. As part of their curriculum at this school, pilots also receive instruction in tactical and instrument flying on all kinds of Army aircraft. Though in different states, the next two installations are neighbors and have a certain kinship in that they are both guided-missile centers. One operating at a high technological level, and the other engaged in the training of men to man the missiles. The latter mission is undertaken at Fort Bliss, Texas, at the Anti-Aircraft Artillery and Guided Missile Center. Following eight weeks of basic training at the Replacement Training Center, the recruits come here for specialized instruction. The training here turns some of them out as anti-aircraft artillery men. Some become radar or director operators. And others become specialists in the technique of aircraft warning. 2-2-3-4-1-8, Angels. Fox 9-2-2-3-4-2-4-7-6-8-4-6-1. Out on the training field, the big-picture camera visits a sky sweeper battery, which is ready to go into action. We latch on to an instructor, Sergeant Glenn Kritzer, to get some data on the sky sweeper's principles of operation. Sergeant, what would you say about the sky sweeper, not in physical detail, but as to its effects? Sir, I'd say it's a very wonderful weapon, and being that it is very highly mobile and it can be put into almost any position to be set up very rapidly and ready to fire, it's got a very active radar on it, which can be locked onto a target very promptly. Using the target selector and your computer periscope is a very wonderful weapon. Well, I'll take your word for it. Yes, sir, you don't have to take my word for it. The sky sweeper talks for itself. See that spot up in the air up there? Yes. Well, you just watch that spot. The important mission of the Center at Fort Bliss is the training of Kedriman and replacements for guided missile units. This is done by the first guided missile brigade, composed of the first and second guided missile groups. The brigade is a unique training organization designed to keep pace with any new developments in this fast-growing field. Such exacting jobs as loading, launching and handling guided missiles are taught here. Any guided missile, including those yet to be conceived by the scientists at White Sands Proving Ground in nearby New Mexico, where the big picture camera goes now to show you an actual missile shoot. From the lonely desert outpost it once was, White Sands today is a 4,000 square mile area, teaming with activity as a proving ground for guided missiles. When it was being activated, it was to serve only as a temporary testing facility, but its amazing growth and importance increased to such a point that in September 1948, it was reclassified as a permanent ordinance activity. Before this test is started, can you tell us a few facts about what's going on? Well, we have here a complete Nike system over there in the short distance there. You can see the missiles. Normally now there's one coming up. You'll see just right now. It's slowly coming up into its position that it will be fired from. The one to the left there, of course, is flying down and will stay down on its launching rail. Now, off to the right here, we have the actual complicated equipment that guides us. You'll see here in just a moment that the thing will be up in the normal position for firing. What we have done now is to take this system and set it up and adjust it, and we're now about ready to fire a test missile.  There's approximately seven or eight minutes. Before that goes, tell us about yourself, how you take part in the civilian engineer scientist. Of course, there are a lot of us here engaged in the Nike program and other programs, but there still aren't enough. We need more here as well as, of course, in different parts of the country. It's a great need for trained electronic men, engineers, physicists, and so on. We don't have enough. As we drove through the proving grounds, we noticed there was an awful great deal of testing going on at that time. That's what we're engaged in here is testing this thing. This system is priced out of the factory now and we're trying it out and it's actually what we do, your proof test program. Now, how are we going to tell when this Nike is going to go off? You will hear the regular countdown.  We better step back then and wait for that counting down, is that correct? Very good. While we're waiting, we look at one of the many test stands where the rocket motor thrust is gauged is studied carefully by the scientists who can thus deduce precisely the motor's power. And now it's about time to get back to the missile launchy. Fire the missile now. In the background, you can hear the countdown. 35 seconds before takeoff. When the time gets down to zero, you will see the customary flash from the bottom of the missile and it will be on its way. Coming up on 20 seconds now. 8 seconds to go. This is because these vehicles probe constantly into space, so the pursuit of scientific research goes on into every phase of guided missiles at White Sands Proving Ground aptly called the miracle of Tularosa Basin. This is Lieutenant John Mortimer bidding you goodbye from the last stop in our tour of some of the installations in the 4th Army area. We're on our way now to 5th Army where we'll be with you next week. And that's the story of 4th Army. Another in the Big Picture special series of on-the-spot reports of our Continental Armies. Next week, we'll continue our guided tour of America's forces in the zone of the interior. The Big Picture camera will be focused on an army which sprawls over 13 states in area the largest of our great Continental Forces. The 5th Army. This is Sergeant Stuart Queen inviting you to tune in next week for another look at your army in action on the Big Picture. The Big Picture is a weekly television report to the nation on the activities of the Army at home and overseas. Produced by the Signal Corps Pictorial Center. Presented by the U.S. Army in cooperation with this station. You can be an important part of the Big Picture. You can proudly serve with the best equipped, the best trained, the best fighting team in the world today. The United States Army.


Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santos downplay Tottenham's one new loss to Viteci, saying the conference league is tough and a difficult match was expected away from home. Santos also defended his side's selection and refused to judge his team's performance. It was a tough match, tough match like we expected, always away from home in the Europe conference league is tough, we compete well, we compete well in terms of attack I think we should finish the actions better, some good combinations that were missing and there was a period in the second half that we lost a little bit of control but in terms of lack of focus in the moment of the goal details that that we should improve like we always do conference league is always a chance to to have minutes on the players players that work hard and deserve so this is what was all about so let's let's progress in terms of the group I think we have two games at home against VTS against Wren and then we have to play Moura that we can we can solve the situation of the hello hope you enjoyed the news please do subscribe to our YouTube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates


What is the Central European Teaching Program, CETP, for teaching English in Hungary? The Central European Teaching Program, CETP, is a scheme run throughout Hungary that places native English speakers in state-run or private schools to work as language teachers. Unlike similar programs that operate in other European countries, such as Spain and France, the CETP requires a placement fee that must be paid in advance. Despite this fee, the program is still popular as it offers a great opportunity to live and work in a part of Europe that has a fascinating history and culture and is also slightly off the beaten track. Every year, thousands of new and experienced teachers head to Europe looking for adventure while working as an English language teacher. A large number of these will arrive in the usual hotspots across Italy and Spain where the competition for jobs can be very high. If you are looking for something a little different that is slightly off the beaten track, then the Central European Teaching Program, CETP, may be worth a look. The CETP is a long-running program that places applicants into schools in Hungary to work as English language teachers. The Basics The CETP is open to native English speakers from the US, Canada and the UK or any other EU country. As the scheme has no official upper age limit, it is a particularly good option for older teachers who might find it difficult to secure a job in some other European countries. The standard program runs for 10 months from September to mid-June, with an orientation week prior to the start. There are also 6 month positions available from January to June. Unlike many government run placement programs, the privately operated CETP requires applicants to pay a placement fee. While this might put off some teachers, the program does offer many benefits that warrant further consideration. Some of the main benefits of the program are as follows. A regular salary that is equal to local coworkers, no income taxes required. National Health Insurance A private furnished apartment with all utilities covered. Paid holidays A work visa that allows you to travel across Europe. Partners, friends or families can often be placed together. How to apply If you are interested in the program and would like further details, you should visit the CETP website. In order to be accepted on the program, applicants must submit the following documents. A TEFL or TSOL certification that includes at least 20 hours of practical classroom teaching. A letter from a doctor confirming your good health. It's a work visa requirement. A notarized copy of your university diploma. A background check.
