Alright Dan, it is March the 4th, so let's talk a little bit of nature as spring has sprung and Ingus Kennedy from Nature Northwest has joined us now in the studio. Great time of the year, time for us all to get a wee bit more excited, a wee bit of sunshine and the evenings are getting longer and even winter behind us. It's a great time here. I love three minutes a day, that's what we're getting at the moment. An extra three minutes of daylight every single day. Each day. So this day next week, the day will be 20 minutes longer, you know, that kind of way. So it's at its maximum now that we're getting close to the equinox, which is 21st of March or so. Which of course means more sunlight, more energy, more energy availability, so things are responding to that. The soil is starting to warm, buds are starting to burst, birds are starting to sing, the holler. Nature is coming alive for another year. And this is actually National Tree Week a week, which is organised by Quiltia and it's, well, it's the Tree Council of Ireland actually with Quiltia. But it's a celebration of trees and all that they do for us and how we should be planting more of them, I suppose. Yeah, that's it. And when the weather is a bit better, it's a lovely time of year to get out to plant a tree, but the trees are still in their dormant phrase or most of them are at least. You'll see some of the non-native trees have started to wake and the willows have started to put out their catkins in the hazel. But an awful lot of our trees, there's no leaves, the buds haven't even started to swell and their mind burst.  So the idea is to plant a tree before that happens when the trees still in the dormant state. And now the next few weeks is still the time to do that before they start to, start to grow and need energy. Okay, okay. And on National Tree Week, if you reach out, is it to the council, you can, they provide small trees to plant? Yeah, they do indeed. Yeah. So Tree Council of Ireland, that's the thing, or else go on to Quilch's website, either or, and they will, will direct you to the right place. And you can apply for a few trees. I was in a school this morning, and they got 10 trees for free. And we're delighted with themselves, school in Netter County here. And they put those trees in. I suppose we added all up schools and, you know, and ourselves and Swan. And if a lot of us were planting a tree here in a tree there, it all adds up. Well, a lot of what we do with biodiversity action plants, for instance, there's lots of different towns and communities are looking to get small biodiversity action plants. Councils have their own big ones. So in other words, plans for nature, how can we bolster nature? Ireland has its own national one, just republished, actually revised one. But there's lots of mini ones for communities as well. And maybe it was just announced there the other day. Ah, very good. Okay. Well, and more often than not, they're normally what they're trying to do is that they're looking at what nature they have. And they're saying, how can we bolster that? And really, it's about having lots of little mini pockets. Because the bumblebee can only fly so far before it needs a flower to get sustenance. The squirrel needs trees to get around the bird needs its seeds or its nuts or whatever it is. So if we can create all these mini habitats, it's hugely important. It doesn't mean turn the whole place into wilderness. But if each and every one of us had a little bit of a refuge, planted a few trees, had some long grass areas and whatnot, all of that connects together as a big habitat. So it's just to help nature along? Just to help nature along? Yeah. Okay. And the first of March as well was the start of hedge cutting season or sorry, the end of hedge cutting season and then the start of the prohibition. So we're just not supposed to be cutting this against the law now to be cutting the hedges for now until August. Yeah, it's against the law. And in the past, we could be accused of having laws on Ireland that we don't always enforce. And I'm sure some of the listeners can think of some of those right now. But they're really trying to push on the enforcement of this because we're starting to realise just how much trouble a lot of our nature is. And our hedgerows are little linear lines connecting upward, we're lucky in Ireland, our farmers are very good at leaving hedgerows in place to a large extent, at least, and keeping them intact in other countries, they rip out the lot and replace them with fences. And nature needs those hedgerows to connect from one little patch of woodland or wetland or whatever it is to the next. But those hedgerows, they need to let them flourish. The birds are already starting to investigate them. Insects are already starting to to emerge. And if we are trimming them later on in the year, now, there's exceptions for road safety, obviously, there has to be and that's fine. But the rest of the time that there's no reason whatsoever to be cutting a hedge from now, right up until the end of August. And because nature really needs it. And when you think about it, it's kind of obviously look around at our fields, our beautiful green fields, but there's not many places for nature outside of those hedgerows. These are hiding places. It's places where we can nurture these wee creatures. They're hugely important as hiding places if they're reasonably rich. Now, if you can see through a hedgerow, and the odd gap is okay, but if you if you can see right through the whole hedgerow, it is very little nature value. I am so one of the things that farm owners and home owners, any landowners are asked to do councils as well is plug any gaps with various different native trees and try and bolster your hedges that way. But they're important for shelter for birds. They're important for shelter for so many of the animals. You think of the hedgehogs that have been hibernating, they'll be following those hedge lines, the bats as they appear soon, they'll be following those lines. And then for creatures just to get from one place to another, as well as having a shelter along the way, they're massively. And you know, healthy, healthy nature around the countryside and abundant wildlife, it's good for landowners and it's good for farmers because everything circular, everything's there for a reason. And and and we're there for a reason originally. hugely important. And for so many reasons. And we're starting to realize that with our land management as well, we're starting to realize that if we have what they call nature based solutions, nbs nature based solutions, and you'll hear that term more and more now that it's it's in the brain. And nature based solutions are doing things like trying to slow down water before when there's a flood before it comes barreling downhill down to typically the town, which will be at the end of the river, or having our hedgerows in place, which will encourage more birds and spiders and the rest of it, which will help act as pest control, then we don't need as much pesticide. And one really interesting fact that that stood out when I was looking at hedgerows there recently, is a one acre field. If it has a healthy hedgerow around it, 48% of the water that falls in that field trickles down through the roots into the root system or is sucked up by the hedgerow 40 or so half of the water that falls in 50 lead nest, you need less drainage, you need less drainage and causes less flooding, etc. Whereas if you and then there's less runoff and that all helps that water quality. Whereas if you remove that and replace it with a fence or if you've got an unhealthy hedge, and there's a 2% of the water is absorbed by the grass itself. And by the by the soil itself, most of it just runs right off into the next field or the town or the whatever, whatever it's that stands for. There's a there's a walk that we do quite a bit actually, not far from here over Boerhurl and it's a circular walk and we were going around it a couple of weeks ago and there was one section on the road where there's stagnant water, particularly on one side, but on both sides. And the road was alive with frogs. So this is this is spawning season, I take it. This is spawning season and the last few weeks people might have noticed absolutely the frogs have been coming out and you'll still see them in your local pools and your local ditches. And this is something that has been going on for thousands upon thousands of years. I am around about February, when the temperature starts changing a little bit, but when the light becomes more abundant, that daylight stretching from two minutes in January or late January to three minutes a day from middle of February onwards, the day is getting longer and longer. The hibernating frogs wake up. The males are the first. They will head off to whatever pool they were born in. They go back to the back to the same pool. And so, of course, if in the meantime, we've built a road or we've put in some kind of barrier playground or whatever it is, they will hop over that and they will try. So hence we suddenly see so many on roads because these are our little pathways that frogs have been using for a vast amount of time before. For we were here before we knew what roads were. And now, of course, we're splitting up their habitats. They're crossing these barriers. The males then will call in the pool and they'll croak and they'll croak and they'll call and they'll call. And they are trying to attract the females. The females also make their way back to the same pools and then lay their eggs spawn. So what's the time span from frog spawn to tadpoles to frog? Many frogs. Yeah, so it takes a couple of months. It takes a couple of months. So they let each female will lay up to 2000 eggs, which is phenomenal really. And if you're, if you look in a pool right now, this time of year and it'll only be for the next few days to get out to your local woodland or get out to your local walk and have a look in them. If you stay still beside the pool, they'll disappear. But after a couple of minutes, you'll see the little heads popping up again. And each poor female will have a whole load of males vying for attention. Quite often all piling up on top. And as the female lays the eggs, the male then fertilizes those. And those frog spawn when the conditions are right and the weather starts to warm a little bit, within a few days, they will start to wriggle the tiny tadpoles. They'll eat the food that's inside and then within a week to two weeks, they'll be independent little tadpoles bombing around the pool, eating all the various different little bugs, eating little bits of plants, that kind of thing. Then they start to develop their little back legs first, and their little front legs start to come along. And eventually after about eight weeks or so, eight to ten weeks, the tails disappear and a tiny little frog, the size of your thumbnail, will hop out. And then they spend most of their time outside of pools, actually, in wet grass, in damp places, but not actually in the pool. Because they can live on a dry land as well as in water. Yeah. They breathe on both. Very much so, yeah. And that's the thing with the amphibians. They're amazing. So they have lungs, but they're also able to take in oxygen out of the water. And they're able to do that through their skin, so they can do both. And when they're out of the water, they don't breathe through their skin. They breathe... No, that's them using their lungs then, yeah. Unless, of course, they're in a very damp place and they can still absorb oxygen in that way.  So if you find a frog that's maybe a bit bigger than a two-year-old coin or so, it's probably last year's frogs. They will get a little bit of half-sized frogs over winter, hibernate for the winter, wake up. And then in their third... Then in their second year, develop into a full-sized frog. And the third year they start breeding, they're old enough to breed. So they need to have a safe habitat, a damp place, food availability for three years effectively before they can start to kind of replace themselves and spread their genes. But each and every frog from now on right through until the end of summer, until the end of autumn, really, when they start to hibernate, is eating dozens of bugs. And we have a huge amount of frogs. So again, as pest control, they're doing a lot. If we don't think about it or know about it, but if all the frogs disappear tomorrow, we'd be wondering why is there so many bugs annoying us when we're playing football or having a barbecue or eating our crops or whatever. Is it true that they can change their color? They can. Amazingly. And not like a chameleon. It's not that instant color change. But frogs can look very different in Ireland. And we've only one species, only one species. But if a frog is in a very dark part of the pool or a muddy part of the pool and you see a hop out, it'll be nearly black. So it'll change to suit its surroundings? It'll change and it'll take it 20 minutes or so to slowly, slowly change the pigments in its skin. Whereas if you come across a frog that's been sitting on some, that lovely vibrant green sphagnum mass in the bog and it hops off onto a piece of heather. It'll really jump out because it's quite a green color. But then in time, it'll start to merge with them. How often have we been surprised by frogs? Never notice them until they hop. And that's why they blend in with their surroundings. And that's it because they're the masters of disguise. Their hop is phenomenal. It's amazing what they can do. However, they're still quite easy to catch. So they're very vulnerable to prey because everybody and everything, even humans, eat frogs. So they're on the diet for an awful lot of our carnivorous mammals and for an awful lot of the birds as well. As mad as a March hair. Where did that saying come from? Why are March hair so mad mad as a March? Well, this is the breeding season is well and truly underway right now. Right. Yeah. And that's it. And the Irish hair, or often called the mountain hair in other parts of the world, but with the Irish hair is one of our oldest known mammals. So there's very few mammals that have been here way, way before humans. And hairs are one of them. And they're here so long that we have our own subspecies now or at least it. Well, it has its own traits. It's a little bit different, a little bit smaller and doesn't change color of its fur as much as other mountain hairs. And they also have slightly different habitats. They will live right down at sea level. They will live in grasslands. They live in bog. They live high up in the mountains or amazing little creatures. But the mad as a March hair bit comes because suddenly they're not as shy at this time of year and because the males are fighting each other to become the dominant male and the dominant male will get to breed with lots. And then of course, lots of females that don't want to breed right now.   And it's it's quite amazing thing. I'm lucky where I am living in outside Remelton and the farms around me, they leave lots of little areas for for the wild creatures for nature and lots of good hedgerows connecting and whatnot. So the hairs come in and out of my garden and wander through the fields. But you'll see them quite quickly zooming by at any other time of year. This time of year, they could be on the gravel beside the car. Two of them or three of them boxing away, maybe a female trying to keep off the attentions of two males who are busy vying for the territory, you know, and we'll we'll know they're not rabbits because of the size. The size is the biggest thing. But when something's far away, is it bigger or how far away is it? So size is one of the big things. But the other big thing is just the shape of them, the length of their legs, rabbits legs, of course, are strong and longer than their front legs, the back legs are whereas the hair is a whole different size again. Proportionately, the legs are much bigger, much stronger. They still have a white tail. They've got bigger ears. Size is the big thing. And speed, of course, they're the fastest of our land creatures can read speeds of up to up to 70 kilometers an hour. And the red deer is very fast. These characters are even faster again. Okay. But they don't go underground. And maybe that is the reason they like to get away from from prey. And they don't borrow underground the way rabbits do. They don't. And so you won't often see as many as you do as you will with rabbits, because rabbits, well, they breed like rabbits. So you can have big, big numbers of rabbits in an area if everything is usual. They of course make the warrens, the burrows down under the ground. And there are some places that likes to double an airport where there's big concentrations of hairs if conditions are just so. But normally you wouldn't see nearly as many. So that can be one of the giveaways too. If there's lots and lots in the field, chances are you're looking at rabbits. But they will, if anybody has a dog and you think the last thing the dog might do at nighttime is spin round and round and round. And even if that's the dog's going to sleep on the rug in your sitting room, it'll spin round and round and round. And that's it answering its ancestral kind of need or its instinctive need going right back to when they were originally wolves. They form what's called a form. And a form is literally spinning in the grasses, in the vegetation to flatten down an area. And of course, if you duck down into the grass and I often do this in an out of school group, so out of the school group in Cardona last week, it was cold and windy. We crouched down in amongst the heathers and grasses and the kids were delighted all the all the wind had disappeared. It was quite cosy down there. And those creatures are doing the same thing for camouflage, for safety. And they will, the hair would just like your dog will spin round and round and round. And when it's flattened out a little grassy area, that's that's where it goes. And during the day that they have a they have a different area they have a resting area and then they have an area where they forage where they go looking for Yeah, completely. So they'll have their safe area where they'll know they can rest you on the day. And they do tend to move around daytime now more so than any other time of year. But dusk early dawn is the time when they're happiest they're out and about and they're feeling that wee bit safer when there's not as many humans move around really. And and they'll have a completely different area. They can they can roam quite a big territory. If they're living up in the bogs and up in the up in the high lands up in the mountains there won't be as much good food for them. There won't be as much rich grasses.  Whereas if they're down in the the richer habitats where there's lots of good grasses and lots of wild flowers for them. Well, then they can be quite quite a few in the one area.   And not always in the most pleasant way they're literally trying to dominate them with their strength. So the females have to be able. So if you see two hairs boxing in a field and you'll see it literally looks like they're in it. They should be in a boxing ring and one is slightly bigger. That's the female saying I'm not ready for breeding quite now because they can breed pretty much right through the year. But right up until kind of October time it doesn't have to be much. And not just one litter. And not just one litter. So they're one of these creatures that they're numbers. They're a hard one to study because the numbers tend to spike and then tend to crash depending on what's happening in their habitat. So they have lots and lots of babies to get over over those issues and they can have up to three litters in a year. And each one can have up to four, four young ones. And they call their young ones leverettes. Leverettes is the name of the baby. It's open a table quiz now and again. Yeah. Yeah. It's a funny kind of word. Not a word to come across very often, but the little lever.  One time with very, very rich milk during the nighttime and won't come back again for another 24 hours. And it's relying on that lever being there and that same spot. And if you or me or the or the animal or whatever is chasing it off, well, then mom will look for a while, but eventually can't find it. Can't find. So not disturbing them for that first three weeks or so is crucial, crucial. And then after about three weeks, they're independent. They're born with their eyes open. They're born, born with fur and they're quite fast, even in that tiny, tiny stage. Is it true that some mountain hairs, female mountain hairs can get pregnant with a second litter while they're pregnant with the first? They can, yeah. And some creatures can do amazing things like that. Bats can get pregnant, but they can delay gestation. So bats breed in September, but they don't start developing the features until until March, April or so the next few weeks when they start waking up, which is quite amazing. Hairs then have a different kind of trick as they are still, well, nearly, quite close to giving birth or getting to that stage, that last kind of term, I suppose, they're able to breed again and they're able to hold that inside themselves and before the next eggs are fertilized. Quite amazing, really.  They need to breed as much as possible to keep themselves going. Yeah, to keep themselves going because what is this, like some areas, 80% of newborns won't survive the first year? With their under pressure, of course, in humans, is the biggest thing. They don't like going into areas where there's cattle and sheep and you think, well, what's left? They were all over all of Ireland, but they're still holding their own reasonably well. You're still allowed hunt them for hair coursing. You're still allowed to catch them and chase them with dogs, which it's a very strange kind of becoming a more stranger and stranger sport. But unfortunately, the government this year, they nearly banned it, but then they got cold feet at the end. And I think the days of that kind of carry on are probably numbered. But they're under pressure from all sorts of things. And then our golden eagles, our white-tailed eagles, will occasionally take them. They're very important food for the fox, for so many, for stoats, for so many other characters. Now, finally a question. I was really surprised when several huge bumblebees flew out off the azalea bushes. Not too, haven't seen them this early, or as early as February before. I saw my first couple of bumblebees. I think it was mid-February. And that's certainly pretty early, all right? But I've heard other reports of this quite a few around. And yet those really big ones are the queens. They've hibernated all winter. And they are looking for as much food as they can. They will make a little nest down underneath in the undergrowth in the ditches of the hedges. Another reason to keep our hedges and the scruffy places going. And then they will lay up to 3,000 worker bees and then eventually new queens. So something happens to that queen right now. And they don't, they aren't able to get enough food from the azaleas. So good on that person for providing a bit of food and shelter for them.  Well, then those bees won't have enough sustenance and then potentially 3 or 400 bees that pollinate our crops, pollinate our wildflowers won't appear and next year as queens. So the knock on effect is huge. Leave little wild areas. There's a lovely scheme run by the Heritage Council and the Burr and Biotrust down the country. But they're starting to spread around the country now called the Hare's Corner. And it's such a simple concept. It's to find a little corner of your garden, of your park, of your field, stick in a couple of small native trees, crab apples or something nice like that and leave the grass to grow, leave the flowers to grow. And then you can still have your football pitch. You can still have your farming or your garden, whatever it is that you need to have. But the bum will be has its sustenance. The hare has a place to be safe and so on. Got a bad idea. And Angus, thank you very much. As always, Nature Northwest. Nature Northwest. So for Tree Week, a couple of years ago, Creative Ireland sponsored the excellent filmmaker Charlie Joe Doherty and myself to make a few little short movies on native trees. So I'm going to post one up every day on Facebook of a different native tree. Short little movie, five, six, seven minutes. Learn about your oak tree today is the asp and I posted up naturenorthwest.ie. OK, thank you.


What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here since I'm about jeepers creepers for in this video here again today Jeepers creepers were born will also be talking about clover field in this sequel that's coming up Screams 6 and we'll be talking about my thoughts on Chucky season 2 because I've seen the first couple of episodes or few episodes They have to see it last week But just to dive on in with jeepers creepers 4 so a few folks were confused about jeepers creepers 4 being a sequel or Not I did videos to confirm this and yet when me and many of you watched it last week Definitely was not as clear as the props we found made it appear One thing that wasn't helping was the fact of the post-puncher that taggert owns is being missed by people because it's off in the distance and Never shown again Plus it wasn't even in a barn that the creepers crawling out of the more of a again broken down brick house That was supposed to be taggert's barn and then chase denounce the other three movies as just films within this world So then Timo shout out to you as Blakey because you sent this screenshot to me He answered a fan talking about this and I know I tried to I talked about this another video But I left out the screenshot. So here goes the screenshot for you guys to finally read he answered a fan and explained What what's going on with this movie in as far as his interpretation? Timo's interpretation is just how the movie made it seem by going over this screenshot But the movie again didn't overly flaunt this It again is a sequel to jeepers creepers 2 a long overdue sequel But they can actually take this back and throw it away. No one no one wants to watch this again I mean somebody out there does but not not me and many of you. So those first three movies What he says in this screenshot is yes Those first three movies were turned into actual movies in this world And we know this of course just helped the creepers name become bigger And this is probably also how chase became known of the creeper because he's a fan of those movies This is just nothing but a very cheap meta aspect that definitely wasn't necessary that original movie admittedly has some meta to it and some self-awareness, but This movie jeepers creepers 4 was better at trying to be a poorly made screen movie Then jeepers creepers and that's another big problem with it The meta stuff was unnecessary really as far as like how it was executed anyway But there you go. This was a sequel to jeepers creepers 2 It's not something that's a complete reboot as much as it is they just completely neglect to Confirm or really hone it in that it's a sequel to the second movie We got because of how so much is overlooked after the creeper escapes and people are missing things like the post-puncher But just to jump into cloverfield the cloverfield sequel that was previously announced might actually end up being a cloverfield Sequel this time because we know we have a universe of movies at this point It seems that picked up some momentum. We have I believe it's pronounced Babak I might be mispronouncing these but Babak and and Vary Babak and Vary will direct this project with Joe Barton pending the script The deadline report that came out last week stated It's unknown how this new installment will link to its predecessors whether it's straight sequel to the original or an anthology piece That is set in the cloverfield universe now I recall in 2008 thinking cloverfield was one of the most insane things I had ever seen and I think Parano activity had come out the year after or just a year prior So I had like two found footage movies I was telling everyone about during that time I haven't watched cloverfield in a while But it's definitely time to revisit it and all the craziness that went on in New York with that monster Now ten cloverfield Lane that was incredible I won't bother to even go into the paradox that Netflix movie because that that was not it That's another movie. They can take back you can keep that throw it away And I always wanted a true sequel to that first movie even though it's not necessary So I do look forward to seeing what happens here with this new cloverfield movie because I know in a lot of ways I've seen people compare cloverfield with a quiet place and You know, I would love to see maybe I've seen people even I remember when the quiet place came out People were like, this is another cloverfield movie. So hopefully this is not something where I Well, what I went to say was I'm glad we don't have something going on where we're kind of guessing or not Whether it's a cloverfield movie. I hope we find out this is that first true sequel to that 2008 movie And I hope that's what it ends up being but just to jump into screen six screen six is jack champion may have had their name confirmed by the user clips underscore Comprehend on Twitter now for those of you who aren't aware This is a user that's been sharing tidbits about the upcoming film for a while I did a video about him many months ago earlier in the year And I don't know how his name never really gained any traction until just recently during the summer But some trust the account and others don't buy by what they're saying But they claim that jack champions character's name is Ethan Alar Now Ethan Alar's description according to clips apparently includes someone who is awkward smart and wants college to be the opposite of high school He lets loose under the influence but doesn't deal with rejection all that well now Ethan's cold name according to this other breakdown I'm thinking of I did a video on also his cold name might have been Eric That description for Eric is giving me the same energy that Ethan's description is coming in from clips Ethan or am I gonna say was Eric's description mentions him being shy geeky nervous and social settings Especially around the opposite sex that sounds very reminiscent and a lot of ways to what we were being told is Ethan's role So we're learn how true this stuff is because honestly the IMDB page It has character names listed, but now we've potentially been provided with details on who Ethan is at least So we'll see how all of this ends up playing out When we start to find out more things about scream six as the March 31st release date nears So clips also didn't say that they would be dropping character names daily going forward So we'll see how true that ends up being from them And they also did kind of hint at the fact that we should expect something in October related to a small teaser We could get our first teaser in October to I'm predicting that would be nothing more than something attached With that scream to re-release and for everyone that's like oh, how can they have a teaser when the movie just got done filming again? teasers don't have to be What you what you might be envisioning? It's a teaser. It can be something that's a minute long again in the style of what the Scream 3 teaser was like text over the screen Haunting music maybe some sort of visuals that alludes ghost face That's all you need and a few quick cuts of stuff that's been edited from screen six There's your teaser you'll get your trailer when they're done editing the movie and ready to present it to us closer to the March release date But jumping into Chucky season 2 now These are just brief thoughts because I can't say anything until the full embargo lifts on the 26 before I do a complete review But what I'm gonna say is that this might end up being better than season 1 if it keeps up What I've been seeing from the first few episodes again I don't want to get too specific But there's several improvements compared to season 1 performance wise Writing wise when it relates to the characters while still being filled with knots to the child's play entries that came before this So season 2 so far is proving that the television format for the child's play series might be something They need to stick to but I still would ultimately love to see one last Chucky film from Diamond City Let me know what you guys think about all of this down in the comment section below If you haven't already of course make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notifications that you never miss a video in the Description I will have links to all my social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course to let me know if there are any movies news or reviews You let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control, quote, life expectancy for the U.S. population declined to 78.6 years in 2017, unquote. This was largely due to obesity and drug addiction. The American life expectancy trend does not reflect global trends, however. Hello, this is Ryan McMacon, and you're listening to Radio Rothbard. Worldwide, the evidence continues to point toward rising life expectancy in most of the world, with the biggest gains in the poorest countries. According to data compiled by the World Bank, life expectancy continues to grow fastest in Africa. During the 10-year period from 2007 to 2016, the largest gains were realized in Zimbabwe, Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, Botswana, Malawi, and South Africa. The gains in years ranged from 13 years over the period in Zimbabwe to nearly 10 years in South Africa. Wealthy and mid-level countries saw gains during this period as well, including in Switzerland and Mexico, where life expectancy increased 1.1 years and 1.4 years, respectively. Indeed, the continued gain should surprise no one who keeps up with global trends in health. Globally, access to sanitation and clean water has improved substantially, while extreme poverty, malnourishment, and child mortality have all declined. This has especially been the case in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia, where some of the worst poverty can be found. Oddly, however, you won't hear much about this in the context of the climate change debate. For years, as life expectancy numbers have continued to rise, pundits and researchers have repeatedly attempted to claim that climate change has led to, or will soon lead to, declines in overall life and health. For example, the New Republic announced in 2015 that climate change, quote, devastates food security, nutrition, and water safety, unquote. Yet the data shows that none of these things have been in any way devastated over the past decade. In fact, the indicators are all better now than they were 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the Lancet predicted, in a report released in November of last year, quote, continued progress in improving life expectancy, unquote. The biggest gains are to be found in poorer countries. The report also predicts continued life expectancy growth through the year 2040. Needless to say, the usual narrative we hear isn't to expect most of humanity to be living longer decades from now. The UN Secretary General, on the other hand, assures us that climate change is, quote, a systemic threat to mankind, unquote. And President Obama concludes nothing, quote, poses a greater threat to future generations, unquote, than climate change. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has predicted, quote, the world is going to end in 12 years, unquote, due to climate change. But while we're told global temperatures are already at catastrophic levels, we're also told the net gain in life expectancy continues to be positive well into the future. Where we do see life expectancy declining, as in the United States, we see it due primarily to drug addiction and to an inability to cut back on cheeseburgers. Upon noting this, advocates for climate change regulations might claim, well, both things are true. We'd be living even longer if not for climate change. Except here's the rub. The very things that make it possible to expand life expectancy, medical care, high quality housing, heating, air conditioning, and clean water are all byproducts of our industrialized economies powered primarily by fossil fuels. Tearing down the system in the name of preventing climate change would be devastating to life and health worldwide. In other words, taking steps to greatly increase the cost of essential resources and amenities, as carbon taxes and other climate change regulations do, would only pull the rug out from undercurrent efforts to continually fight against countless causes of mortality, such as waterborne disease, cancer, and diabetes. It is not climate change that poses the greatest threat to future generations. The real threat lies in losing the ground gained in the global south in terms of sanitation, medical care, and housing. Thus, crippling the global economy through climate change regulation, not climate change itself, is the most systemic threat we face. The burden hand of industrial globalization has clearly delivered a higher standard of living than has ever been known in the old, quote unquote, third world. However, the promised two birds in the bush of global climate control offers fewer plausible promises for a better life. Realizing the need to up the ante, researchers continue trying to connect a myriad of health problems directly to climate change in order to justify more regulatory intervention. The New Republic continues, quote, it, a 2012 report on climate change, linked 400,000 deaths worldwide to climate change each year, projecting deaths to increase to over 600,000 per year by 2030, unquote. But how do they arrive at these numbers? They're achieved by claiming a variety of diseases are indirectly caused by climate change. Given that most mortality is now caused by diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver failure, and other chronic conditions, it's chronic disease and not factors directly connected to climate like heat stroke that will be the most significant drivers in life expectancy. Thus, a solid connection must be made to diseases such as diabetes if climate change can be held up as a leading cause of mortality. But even if they could show the precise degree to which, say, cardiovascular disease can be blamed on climate change, which hasn't been done, big numbers such as those used in the New Republic article don't provide a picture of net mortality.  Admittedly, significant changes in food availability have some of the highest potential for significantly impacting life expectancy predictions. But if this occurs, it would then be necessary to connect food availability to climate change itself. After all, malnutrition issues in Africa are heavily impacted by economic and political problems caused by governments, such as civil wars and dysfunctional economies. Clearly, it would be nonsensical to point to the current situation in Venezuela and claim the current shortages there are significantly due to a climate change problem. It's not enough to point out there are malnutrition problems. It's also necessary to show the exact extent to which climate change has been a significant driver. Nor can much of a case be made for claims that climate change causes more deadly natural disasters. The media has attempted to create the picture that climate change-related natural disasters are worse than ever, but this case can only be made in terms of dollar amounts. This is because, at least in wealthy parts of the world, people are putting more expensive cars, homes, and other amenities in harm's way. A street full of flood-ruined automobiles is far more expensive today than in the past. In most of the world, though, the cost of climate change-related natural disasters is much lower, in terms of human life, especially, than in the past. The evidence points towards sizable declines in deaths due to natural disasters, and those deaths are far fewer today than a century ago. This should not be surprising since modern economies and higher standards of living make it easier for populations to take shelter and get out of harm's way. Vehicles and equipment needed for medical triage are more readily available, and there is more surplus wealth to deal with large temporary relocations of populations. The Lancet itself report also notes that natural disaster-related deaths are unlikely to be relevant to life expectancy predictions. Unquote predicted impacts in other studies on extreme weather-related deaths and heatwave deaths are not large enough to have much impact on global life expectancy. Unquote.  Those who want to rein in economic activity in the name of climate improvement would be destroying the very thing that's improved the quality of life for billions already. Second, the anti-climate change research would have to show that carbon taxes and similar policies will both reduce climate change and increase access to better medical care housing and clean water. This has certainly not been done. In fact, as Robert Murphy has noted here at Mises.org, we have every reason to believe the cost of implementation of anti-climate change regimes will be very high.

Everybody forced here ripping five Pini National VIP gold packs for Ryan a Best of luck Ryan. Let's see. What's up, man? It's fine a nice auto, baby No, these packs like with the silvers is anything guaranteed or no I'm not entirely sure honestly got a dirt Novitsky 22 of 50 and an Anthony Richardson rookie Because I assume like they don't have a checklist for these right? I think they do I have not looked Come on now There's a blue ice of Steph Curry It's number 142 of 149 like the design on though. That's like a prism. Yeah, I mean it's just it basically is It is basically a different prism design just about Kevin Garnett's Looks like a 43 Green ice Cade Cunningham nice 20 of 99 a lot of nice basketball parallels And a Peyton Nice a Jalen Williams rookie blue ice 147 of 149 One there in a hardened last one It's again Ryan. You got a red ice Joey Logano Joey Logano is 91 of 199 and there's a prism of Christian Pulisic Hyper I guess it would be with Benini hyper Christian Pulisic. All right. Thanks again, Ryan solid. Thanks again. We'll get him out to you


Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to day 2, TCGA symposium. We have six great talks in the next session, session 3, and we're going to start with an exciting story from Tom Giordano and Gaddy Getz and the others in the thyroid group who just submitted their paper two days ago to sell. So, Tom.


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to a new Zor education. I would like to present a few problems, very simple problems which are related to inverse functions, inverse trigonometric functions. Basically, I hope they will help you to better understand the concepts behind these inverse trigonometric functions. If you did not attempt to do these problems yourself first, before listening to this lecture, I do suggest to press pause and try to do it. It's on unizor.com in this chapter about inverse functions. Now, let me just address all these. I have two lectures actually. One is just a little bit simpler, and it's related to just inverse functions, and another combines with some trigonometric functions. All right. We have six different trigonometric functions. We have six different inverse trigonometric functions. The main problem with inverse functions in trigonometry is that the regular trigonometric functions are periodical and obviously, they do not have inverse like everywhere. We have to restrict the domain of the main function to the area where it's monotonic. In that area, we can talk about inverse functions. The first problem is you variate r sine of sine of 3 pi over 2. In this case, as in any other case, the problem is that we have to really consider this particular value, but we have to find the angle which has the same sign as the 3 pi over 2. But this angle is not 3 pi over 2.  So if you start from something, apply the function, then apply the inverse function, we should return back to this one. That's not true, and the reason is, if you will consider the graph of the sine, now this is 0 pi pi over 2, 3 pi over 2, this is minus pi over 2. So the function sine is considered as inversible only between these two points. So this is a monotonic branch or monotonic part of the graph of the function sine, where inverse is actually defined. 3 pi over 2, which is an argument to sine, is not part of this area. So what is part of this area, which has exactly the same sign as 3 pi over 2? Well, this is obviously minus 1. And the same value of minus 1 has this particular point, minus pi over 2. So sine of minus pi over 2 and sine of 3 pi over 2 are the same, they are minus 1. So basically what I'm asking here to do is, I'm asking to find the value r sine of minus 1. And I have to find this value only between these two boundaries, which designate the area where sine is inversible between minus pi over 2 and pi over 2. Now within this area, sine takes also all the possible values from minus 1 to plus 1. And the minus 1, it takes in this particular point. So the answer to this is minus pi over 2. So regardless of the fact that we started with 3 pi over 2, when we perform sine and arc sine, we have to basically shift to the point, which has exactly the same sign as 3 pi over 2. But it belongs to the area where the function arc sine is supposed to take values. So the main for the arc sine is obviously from minus 1 to 1. But the range only between minus pi over 2 to pi over 2. And that's where we have to find the value in that range defined for this function. So I have actually explained it in more details. And the rest of the problems, which are very similar, I will explain it in less details. But the idea is exactly the same. We have to find within the range of this function the value which would give the same value of trigonometric function as an argument. Next one is arc cosine of minus pi. Same thing. Let's start with a graph. This is the cosine. Cosine is an even function. It's symmetrical. So that's how I remember it. And this is pi over 2. This is pi. This is 3 pi over 2. Now, where the function is monotonic and where it's reversible between these boundaries? So this is the piece, the monotonically decreasing piece. And that's where we have to really find the resulting value between this and this. Now, what is cosine of minus pi? Well, let's just continue the graph. Now, this is minus pi over 2. This is minus pi. So it's minus 1, right? Now, within this area, this is the point where the cosine also shakes the value of minus 1. But this point belongs to the range of the arc cosine. So that's why the answer to this is pi. Same story. We started with minus pi. We found what's the value of the cosine in this place. And then we shift the whole thing within the domain where the cosine can be inverse. And the domain for the cosine where it's reversible is from 0 to pi. Next, arc tangent of tangent of minus pi, OK? The graph of the tangent is minus pi over 2, 0, pi over 2. And then it repeats itself here as well, minus pi. So tangent of minus pi is 0. But we have to find an angle within this area from here to here. This is the range of the function tangent, which is reversible. So we have to find within these boundaries the value of the angle, which is equal to 0, same as tangent of minus pi over 2. So we have to find this. So what's the angle tangent of which is equal to 0, but which belongs to this area? Obviously, it's 0. So the problems are simple, as you see. All you have to do is you have to understand where exactly each trigonometric function is inversely. So which interval, where the function is monotonic and takes all the possible values, should be taken as the interval where we have to look for an angle which we need. Next, cotangent of cotangent 3 pi over 2, OK, 3 pi over 2. The graph of the cotangent is this is pi over 2, this is pi. Now here we have the next one. So that's the cotangent graph. Now, we are interested in arc cotangent from the cotangent of 3 pi over 2. So 3 pi over 2 cotangent is 0. So this is 0. So question where exactly we should consider the function cotangent to make it inversible. Well, traditionally it's from 0 to pi. So this is the branch where it is inversible. And in this particular branch, the value of 0 is where the angle is equal to pi over 2. So that's why the answer to this is pi over 2. By the way, for those who do not really remember how to construct the graphs of whatever the functions, trigonometric functions I was just using, go to the corresponding lectures. Every lecture for every function has this graph. Next arc secant of secant of minus 2 pi. All right. So let's draw the graph. Now arc secant is 1 over cosine. So the cosine is equal to 0 at minus pi over 2 and pi over 2. So these would be the asymptotes. Now cosine goes this way, so secant goes this way. Now from pi over 2 to 3 pi over 2, it would be the negative. And here I will have minus pi minus 3 pi over 2, and another asymptote, it would be like this. And then next is minus 2 pi. That's what we need. So the function would be like this. So it looks like our function is equal to secant of minus 2 pi. It looks like it's 1. Now where exactly the function secant is monotonic and therefore inversible? Well, traditionally it's this one from 0 to pi. It's this branch and this branch. So the combination of these two branches is a piece of the graph where it's monotonic. And the function is defined from 0 to pi except the point pi over 2 where there is an asymptote. Now the question is, we need 1, right? So this is secant of minus pi is 1. So within these boundaries, we have to find where exactly the function is equal to 1. And this only point 1, 0. That's where it's 1. So the answer to this is 0. I spent more time writing the board than explaining the material. All right, the last one, arc cosecant. Arc cosecant of minus 3 pi over 2. Now cosecant is 1 over sine. So the asymptotes are where the sine is equal to 0. So it's 0 pi minus pi and minus 2 pi. So these are asymptotes. Now the graph looks like, so the sine is from 0 to pi. The sine is this way, so 1 over sine would be this way. And similarly would be here and similarly would be here. So minus 3 pi over 2, the function is equal to 1. So my question is, where exactly the sine is, or actually cosecant, cosecant is monotonic, where we can invert it. Well, this is from minus pi over 2 to pi over 2. And the monotonic branch is this monotonically. So within these boundaries from minus pi over 2 to pi over 2, the function cosecant is monotonic and therefore inversible. So question is, where exactly it's equal to 1? In this interval from minus pi over 2 to pi over 2? Well, obviously it's this point. So it's pi over 2 the result of this. So the angle where the arc, the angle, the cosecant of which is the same as cosecant of minus 3 pi over 2 is pi over 2. That's it. That completes this particular lecture. These are very simple exercises in number one, graphing, by the way, that's an important thing. Number two, you have to understand which part of the graph you should use for inversing the trigonometric function. Usually it's either from minus pi over 2 to pi over 2 or from 0 to pi, either or. Wherever it's monotonic. Like sine is from minus pi over 2 to pi over 2. It's monotonic or increasing. Cosine is from 0 to pi, where it's monotonic, monotonically decreasing, et cetera. So either this or that. Within these intervals, we should look for the answer to all problems where we have to really evaluate arc something, arc sine arc, cosine arc, tangent, et cetera. Now, next lecture would be more or less the same. I'll just slightly change the arguments. So basically, again, that's it for today. Thank you very much. And try again to do it yourself. That probably would be very helpful. Thanks a lot.


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1970 Italian giallo film a quiet place to kill by Umberto Lenzi and this is the film This is from the box set from Severin films that has four Lenzi films including this one Which is the third in a trilogy which I believe the point of the trilogy is basically rich people who suck rich people who Have bad things go down in their lives because they have money and other people want the money and people Get greedy and these are bad people Basically, that's kind of how I break this down. So anyway, I'm about to talk about a quiet place to kill Now directed by Umberto Lenzi who's also done some things such as seven of bloodstained orchids or gasmo So sweet so perverse knife of ice spasmo eyeball eaten alive cannibal furrow Ghost house and hitcher in the dark just to name a few he's done He's done much other stuff and I do plan on watching even more Umberto Lenzi because I find this stuff interesting Thus far. This one's written by Marcelo Cossia and there are many people involved so some films other films that Marcelo has written scripts for our Dorian Gray Yeti giant Yeti giant of the 20th century and virgin killer Those are just some interesting sounding ones Bruno de Geronimo who also wrote what have you done to Ceylon's? Which is another giallo film the weapon the hour and the motive? puzzle and the man to kill and Then Raphael Romero Marchant who wrote scripts for pray of vultures Santo versus dr. Death and the student connection and the last person is Mary Claire Solville who also it wrote So sweet so perverse and even angels eat beans That's an interesting title So John Sorrell is in this as Maurice in the film and as soon as I saw him I was like I've seen that guy somewhere before so I looked him up and he was also in a few other giallo films a Lizard in a woman's skin and short night of glass dolls Which I will say I like both of those films more than this film, but in general, I think he's a good actor I think he does a good job, and I will say this I am man enough to admit that is a good-looking guy I actually think that he looks like a Cross between John F. Kennedy and Sebastian Stan does anyone else feel me on that just saying but anyway Carol Baker is a good-looking woman. He's a good-looking looking man So it makes sense that that's the leading couple in this film This film was actually released as paranoia in Italy. So this is where it's kind of confusing This film's title was paranoia in Italy internationally. It is a quiet place to kill now That's confusing because the film orgasmo, which is the first film in this trilogy was released as orgasmo in Italy But internationally it was released as paranoia. So based on where you were living There's a film called paranoia. It is different whether you were in Italy or everywhere else It gets confusing. So for someone looking for the film paranoia in the United States, you'd probably find some Differing information on which film that actually is you're either gonna get a quiet place to kill or you're gonna get orgasmo Actually, I'd say if you get one of them It I would say it should be orgasmo because that one's better in my opinion better more fun more interesting in many ways But apparently this film a quiet place to kill was actually called something different in Spain They actually shot part of this in Spain. It was called a drug named Helen, which I think is kind of a cool title I like that one So Helen driving the car and wrecking is a cool start to it I actually really liked the way that Lindsay handled those shots of like the POV in the car And I thought it was it looked cool how they would cut between that and her face with the got the driving goggles on issues Like squinting and really concentrating So I like that and then obviously they bring that back at the end when you know The car goes off the cliff and it all kind of becomes full circle But I will say that watching those types of scenes really made me want to watch the Roger Corman film death race from the 70s I'm sorry death race 2000. I love that film so great I know some people have heard me talk about that ad nauseam. So if you're one of those people, I apologize But anyway, I do think this is kind of a foreshadowing showing it very early on that she's driving this car and she's driving it recklessly and she Beaps it, you know, she has her crash I think that's foreshadowing that that's actually how things end in the end of the film is she has that crash and she dies She doesn't die in the initial crash in the beginning. So Thought that was interesting Immediately I see Lindsay is on his Is on his excessive zooming in and out and panning a lot kick which he did quite a bit in the film orgasmo This is his fourth film that I've watched thus far and Half of the films he does this really aggressive kind of like zooming in and out and the other half he doesn't so I kind of like I don't know why he does this and also he does a lot of panning from like one focal point to another focal point He in general just likes to keep the camera moving. I noticed as a director Which is totally fine, but like the the excessive zooming and the excessive panning Gets to be a little much especially because like I said, it's kind of aggressive Especially the the zooming in and out gets too much now It does settle down a little bit as it goes further into the film Which I think is how it was also with orgasmo, but it's just annoying in the beginning. Yeah He also shoots a lot of characters in mirrors. That's another thing that he did in so sweet so perverse So this it's interesting to see that where he does one certain thing in one film and then repeats it in another film and Then does another thing in another film and repeats it in that same film It's just interesting to you know note those interest those little Commonalities between them Helen jumping over into the driver's seat and ditching the guy that she was with At the liquor store shows I I think sets her character up to show that she's impulsive that she just kind of like goes with her feelings because that was the whole after the whole conversation of Her and that guy, which I don't even remember who that guy was her and that guy talking about how she was invited to her exes Which is Maurice when she's like I have no interest, you know, we're not together anymore We got divorced.  There's something there There's something about Maurice that keeps pulling her back in that makes her want to get back together with him even though we find out she tried to kill him before and then she gets into a position where she tries to kill him again in The events of this actual film, but not only does he pull in someone like? Helen he has pulled in Constance and he ends up pulling in Susan as well. So it's just something Magnetic about this individual guy His looks sure but his charm also and he's also kind of a conniving individual because it looks like he just wants to get it on with every female in essence, which you know the 70s It was a thing Helen saying she has no interest in seeing Maurice again and then racing off to see him shows she can't get him out of her mind Yes, I already said that sorry It's intriguing when Maurice reveals that Constance invited Helen Especially after both she and Maurice were watching Helen in the shower So it kind of gives you this feeling that Constance may be sexually interested in Helen Now that's taken even further when they're kind of having a meal and she starts, you know Rubbing her foot up and down Helen's leg But then I feel like they kind of abandon that because then Constance approaches her about Offing Maurice she needs her help and I think maybe the whole like acting sexual towards her may have been a way to See if she could kind of pull her in By any means to get her on board to go ahead and take out Maurice because I guess in the end we kind of find out that she I Think she knew that Maurice was Involved with Susan and she I was obviously not very happy about that And that she kind of knew that Maurice would end up leaving her and she wanted to be able to keep the money So, yeah, although obviously things don't work out for Constance like at all I like how when Maurice is potentially having a medical emergency in this film Helen just starts making out with him instead of doing what they tell him tell her to do Which is stay there and just watch over him as he lays there basically unconscious She can't help but kiss him and that's that next level of this Magnetism that she just can't stop thinking about him. She can't stop being attracted to him. She must have him But I think it's a funny ridiculous moment where she's just making out with him when he's unconscious Although it doesn't awake him So maybe he was just faking I don't know Helen driving right up to the cliff is pretty intense and now I think that's that was an intentional thing to kind of mirror The end of the film where she actually goes up to the cliff and then just goes off the cliff And it was not of her accord that time It was because you know Jean had jumped out in the road in front of her and she had to veer now It's interesting because those two scenes when she's kind of driving out of control John looks really uncomfortable any kind of comments about her, you know Not driving so wildly and she says oh well you're in the Basically something the effect of like he's in the seat where the person would die if they got into a wreck Which is why it's so interesting that later on she does wreck Which I think it's exactly the same place that exact same cliff spot where she goes off and dies And it's not him that dies this time or would die in the in the instance of a crash It is her because he's not even there. I mean not in the car, you know The song playing at the club to go to early on is a song that was heavily Used in orgasmo. That was the the song that was driving The main character in that one insane. I forget her name at the moment Looks like a tough spot for Helen.  Oh I'm sorry an inspector and a judge is who it was. I was like this seems so weird But that is one of the quirky things about Giala films they do wacky stuff like that I had a hard time deciding if Helen just acted like she was going to kill Maurice or she legitimately thought about doing it in that Moment where it happens. There is a good hesitation, but then you really just start to question Is she acting here? Is she just setting Constance up because I do feel like that was a potential possibility because I believe she did talk to Jaune about At one point about the fact that Constance may have wanted him gone so there could have been some behind-the-scenes planning But since that wasn't actually shown in the film. I think probably not The idea to fake Constance drowning is actually pretty quick thinking and I thought at the time It is too quick thinking that was probably there was potentially planned out I don't think with the way the events actually happened that it was planned out to happen just like that But I do think that there is a possibility that Maurice had the idea when they were out there to take to offer at that time and he just saw that as that moment as the opportunity to just go ahead and do it Maurice telling Jamie to our sorry Jamie Jaime Gotta get that right Maurice telling Jaime to look in a different spot for Constance because of the winds When she was in the water would be very suspicious I mean at least wait and tell you later to suggest it Yeah, it's like immediately after she goes missing pretty much They're talking about it and they threw out the idea of okay Well, we can go you know dredge and search for her body and they're like okay We'll just search where she fell off the boat And Maurice is just basically like oh No, I think because of the winds and everything that you probably have to search like way further away like just don't search There like it's very suspicious and it it hit me as at least wait a while to like bring up this idea of Searching elsewhere, but I guess he went into the mode of like I really don't want them to search right there Because her body's probably there and it probably was well I mean it was because they had tied that anchor to her legs So she was weighted down. She was in place It's a cringe-worthy moment when Susan shows up and is looking for her mother as Maurice and Helen are Naked in bed together and she's literally going around the house opening up doors.   Oh, yeah, I already said that Very suspicious around Susan Pretty sure Maurice wasn't going to ask Jaime to look for Constance again because he does But he did it since Susan was there He had to play it off like he actually cared at that point So this is kind of doing the inverse of what he did before saying, oh, no, don't search there search here He definitely would not have said oh, yeah We should go out and search again except for the fact that Susan was there basically staring a hole through him And so he's just like yeah, let's you know, let's do that Susan's creepy Susan is creepy in this they do that Her character does that very well. She she comes off as very creepy I think a lot of it has to do with the way they frame shots on her and her stare I'm assuming it's intentional And it's kind of there to like put a little bit of fear into Maurice and Helen and have the audience see that That's what's happening in essence Is that she's scary to them because she could find out The scene of everyone watching the film was pretty intense I actually did like that and note that there was no music used during that portion which actually helped to increase that tension I really felt like at any moment you could end up seeing something on that real that would Send everyone into an uproar and everything would click and they would be like this was no accident You guys are done. So I I just like that moment. That's maybe I think that might be the best moment in the film in my opinion really Well, I didn't see it coming when Susan started making out with Maurice and how stupid is Maurice. Well, I guess maybe I was gonna say I guess maybe not because he got away with it in the end But he didn't get away with it. He got away with it for a little bit in the end until they found Constance's body. I Like how Maurice's explanation for sleeping with Susan when Helen finds out is that she'd been flaunting Flaunting herself the whole time she was there. This is that I mean obviously remember This is the 1970s and he literally is just like, you know, I couldn't I was with her because I couldn't resist I mean, she'd been flaunting herself the whole time. She was here. Oh, I forgot men can't control their sexual urges And that's like what all this is predicated on is just the idea that Helen's supposed to understand. Look, I'm Maurice I'm a sexual being I just have to have sex if women make it available to me and I assume that's probably how he was with Constance as well just saying The timing of Jaime hearing the gunshots when he was going to the tower and then making it to the tower Would not have actually left enough time for all the events that supposedly transpired there Feel me on that if you disagree with me or if you agree with me put a comment down there I don't think there was enough time in between For Maurice and Susan to set up that whole ruse that they did where they made it look like Helena driven there shot Shot Maurice and then got rid of his body into off the cliffs Now maybe there was enough time for them to set up the events that they did But when Jaime gets there Between the time that he heard the gunshots and he gets there and sees the aftermath He should know that there wasn't enough time for her to shoot him and drag his body all the way out of the tower And into and throw him off the cliff. I'm just saying There's a problem The way they shot Helen speeding in the car portrays her losing her mind pretty well And that is you know doing that POV of her driving the car like crazy on those really windy roads You know then again harkening back to the very beginning of the film where she did crash And then here she goes off a cliff, which is an even worse version of a crash in this instance And where Helen stopped short of going off the cliff in the beginning She actually plummets to her death this time. She doesn't stop short. She goes over so I did like that aspect of it Really too convenient that Constance's body is found right where it is But I guess looking for Helen's body led them to Constance and in the end Maurice won't get away with anything I do like when these types of movies, especially with crappy characters like they are Everyone gets screwed over in a sense, although I guess Susan was probably okay would be my guess Susan was probably alright and It did appear that based off Susan's reaction when they found Constance's body that she was not in the know about Helen and and Maurice killing her mother because at one point when She was sorry with this lighting at one point when she was starting to get with Maurice Susan I started to think oh well Maybe she knows about her mother being off, but she's acting the way she is Because they're trying to get rid of Helen But I don't really think that was the case based off how she reacted when her mother's body was discovered In the end this film is actually too slow in my opinion I think the pacing was too off for me to really like it. I still think it's a solid film. I still enjoy it You know, I might watch it again, but I'm talking you know looking at this compared to all the other giallo I've seen which is 30 some films at this point It's lower way low on my list It's towards the bottom just because it is so slow and it's not that Interesting of a story honestly. I Know I already said it, but there's a lot of zooming. It's too much. It is too much. It is too aggressive The film is very scenic, which I really like about it It's I like all these stuff on on and around the water the cliffs are beautiful beautiful and that tower I love that tower the one where Marisa and Helen bang Really cool construction. It looks cool on the outside. It looks even cooler on the inside Especially with that spiral staircase with the staircase that goes up the side and to that little loft At first I thought when they were showing the interior that it was a lighthouse and then I saw the outside And I was like, oh, it's not and then they were calling it a tower So I was like, okay, I got it. But it's cool. I would like to have a place to go like that that would be awesome So, yeah, but that's that's basically all I have to say about it I do unfortunately feel like this trilogy of Umberto Lindsey films was a whole diminishing return situation Which happens a lot with things like this. So that kind of sucks orgasmo was by far the best so sweet perverse So sweet so perverse was definitely the second best and this is the third But still worth watching in my opinion. So out of five stars with half stars in play. I will give this Three stars. It's still solid. I still enjoy it Just slow and weird, but you know And it was it was um, it's good to see carol baker numerous times. I like her acting I think she's cool in all the films that I've seen her in and I will be doing a review of night a knife of ice Which is the final film in that box set but from severant and I'm excited for that So do me a favor put some comments down here. Let's talk about this film Any other geologist film you want to talk about as well and also do me a favor real quick hit that subscribe button If you like this video or any video I've ever done that is your way to repay me. It's very quick It's very painless and I do appreciate it a lot. I'm trying to grow this community of nerdy horror folks and let's talk Oh also hit the notification bell because then you'll know whenever i'm putting up any new reviews or unboxings Or haul videos or anything else I decide to start doing but regardless I thank you for taking your time to watch this and until next time keep it brutal


Hi, I'm Amy Treboni, Director of University Exploration at the Ohio State University, and I want to welcome you to Ohio State. We're sorry you're not able to make it in person to our summer orientation, but this module will help you understand what you need to do to prepare for fall and you'll be meeting with your advisors soon. Exploration is home to students with a variety of different needs and interests. We have students who are interested in all 200 plus majors that are available at Ohio State, as well as students who are pretty narrowed down on their choice and just need to work on some prerequisites and different requirements in order to be able to apply. Regardless of why you're starting in university exploration, our staff is trained to help you understand your skills, values, and interests, and make the best possible academic choice so that you can go into the career that you're most interested in. Exploration advisors, again, are experts at helping students understand all of the areas where the curriculums intersect and helping you pick classes that will allow you to explore majors while making degree progress. We're going to need you to help us, though. You're going to be asked a lot of questions by your exploration advisors so that they can understand what your values are, what you believe you're best at, and what interests you. We want to make sure that your academic fit is the best possible at Ohio State. Again, we're sorry that you weren't able to make it to summer orientation, but we look forward to seeing you in person soon.


Aaron, can you kind of describe the swing of emotions in this one? Garrett Cole takes a no-hitter into that eighth inning, and you go from looking like you could maybe be seeing history to potentially looking like you might be losing the game.  But once it goes by the wayside, obviously tight ball game, you don't really get that emotional.  We're able to tie the game, and it's right back to let's go find a way to get this thing done. And we talk about you keep playing. There's things that happen over the course of a game, over the course of a season that are sometimes out of your control. You just keep playing, keep turning the page, and they did a great job of that and coming in here and getting that first one, just a good resilient victory and a lot of different things that help us get there.
