ahead on early birds a slow start and a fast rising challenge for the Falcons and your mindset's got to be Yeah, we didn't like what happened a whole one. We got 71 just like those guys come out of the first round of those major It's a physical mental grind and that's what the NFL is as Atlanta prepares for the champs We get you ready for week two AJ Terrell talks Tom Brady and being a high school football fan Plus shock at the big board and Joe Hamilton on the QB Dilemma in dogtown that more ahead on early birds All right, good morning and welcome into early birds the Falcons stumbled in week one But hey glass half full says they've got a great opportunity to write the ship tomorrow Let's get things started with the opening drive. So DJ that was glass half full doing so will be difficult against Tom Brady and the Defending Super Bowl champions. No doubt about it. I mean we all know the accolades of Tom Brady What he's done over the years that he continues to play at a high level. We got to find a way to get to him We got to find a way to distract him. We got to find a way to get him off his spot We have to flush the time Brady as tough as that sounds We have to find a way to do it because if not people continue the same trend All right, Arthur Smith the head coach no surprise tons of respect for the Buccaneers and their future Hall of Fame QB That's a very good veteran team. They've won, you know, they won I believe nine in a row including last year ahead on early birds a slow start and a fast rising challenge for the Falcons and your mindset's got to be Yeah, we didn't like what happened a whole one. We got 71 just like those guys come out of the first round of those major It's a physical mental grind and that's what the NFL is as Atlanta prepares for the champs We get you ready for week two. AJ Terrell talks Tom Brady and being a high school football fan Plus shock at the big board and Joe Hamilton on the QB Dilemma in Dogtown that more ahead on early birds Your favorite Joe and the silk Falcons football on early birds presented by Mercedes Benz All right. Good morning and welcome into early birds the Falcons stumbled in week one But glass half full says they've got a great opportunity to write the ship tomorrow Let's get things started with the opening drive-in shock Doing so is gonna be not so easy against Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion buccaneers Yeah, I've just no doubt about that. He has been one of the more dynamic players in our entire league because of his longevity He has tons of accolades. He's seen everything. So it's gonna be tough to get to Brady But we had to find a way to get off the spot We got to find a way to fluster them confuse them as hard as that Maybe you have to find a way to do that because if not it may be the same old task All right other than that piece of cake, right? Are there Smith? No surprise from the coach tons of respect for the buccaneers and their future Hall of Fame QB That's a very good veteran team. They won You know, they won. I believe nine in a row including last year. That's a team You know, it's it's all about tail of two seasons I mean you look at them last year and they drew a line in the sand and they continued to improve and everybody saw what they did and And it's everybody but the one thing I do know about Tom Brady is he's gonna say he's probably the Best or one of the best I've ever seen with situational football. You make mistakes. He's gonna expose you You make errors All right continuing the opening drive now It's week one shock and we're doing this already Questioning the protection of Matt Ryan, especially the interior Oh line the Eagles got to the Falcons quarterback a whole bunch way too much than you like Tampa base tough front up front tough Outfront Vita Vaya inside. So so what do they do? Yeah, that's tough I mean you're talking about it. Domica Sue as well period Paul if he plays I mean there are a bunch of guys who can really get after the court of it But I think you have to get rid of it fast You can't hold on to it You can't have opportunities where Matt's sitting back there in a seven-step drop and you have an opportunity to get to Get rid of the football moving do some play action get them on the edges all those things I help will help a young offensive line get going. I think that's a bigger part of alright Matt Ryan says his young Offensive line have handled the weak like pros For some of these young guys, it's their first real opportunity, you know to have a full game evaluation and learn from that and and make the adjustments and You know, I think it's gonna be good for them. I think you can learn a lot early in the season You know, I remember myself just from week to week as a young player making huge strides And as we wrap up the opening drive DJ Tom Brady, I mean we mentioned him once or twice already He doesn't eat bread and he doesn't lose to the Falcons so shock How do they hand the Golden Boy career loss number one against Atlanta? We got to turn him over I think that's the only way take possessions away from them Don't allow them to have those longest in the drives and don't give them the deep ball like we see here They live on these deep plays. They live on these big momentum plays Don't give them those turn the football over and force Brady to look average as hard as that will be if you do that We can get a W on Brady. We'll see if they can do that Falcons and Buccaneers tomorrow here on Fox 5 Welcome into early birds alongside former Falcons and UGA quarterback DJ Shockley. I'm Justin Felder and Atlanta Well, they projected confidence in flowery branch all week long. So DJ Brady aside, that's a big part of it Of course, how do they make all that confidence pay off?  You can't have the false starts You can't be behind the change you have to find ways that you're doing things the right way as far as on both sides of the Ball getting lined up getting in position But you can't hurt yourself in game that puts you behind a change or give them reasons where you're just giving stuff away So play smart football, but don't do what you did last week. That's for sure Won't be easy Falcons taking on the Buccaneers shock time to get your jack sparrow on because we know you are the captain Go warm up the Telestrator. We will see you in a few But first Falcons cornerback AJ Terrell has a favorite word when we talked earlier this week Just about every one of his answers included the word Compete that he does every Sunday and that he did during training camp often in very entertaining tangles with Calvin Ridley I asked Terrell about that and what he gains from squaring off so often with the Falcons top receiver at practice and in camp You know, I gained a lot each day we came out of competed You know like I've been said before you know, I'm gonna give my best He gave me his best and we just compete every day just get ready for games on Sunday Is that something that's agreed upon is it kind of unspoken that you two would go head-to-head so often It's really just no expected between Me and him like when we line up we just know to just go all out and just you know compete against each other No, just get ready. So you're kind of a quiet guy when we talk to you now with a year and the game in the books How much do you talk on the field when you're lined up across from wide receiver?  I don't let you know too much get up and get me out my comfort zone And if any chirping or whatever happens, you know Glad to you know be with it talk, you know, go back and forth all we want You were two years old when Tom Brady made his debut, but he was dominating when you were kind of getting into football Do you remember watching him on those Patriots teams growing up? Yeah, definitely remember him all around the lead just make a place and you know Going to championship Super Bowls and they still doing it today. So, you know, it's definitely Blessing is you know be here today playing against you guys went against him twice last year and he had a lot of success He threw for a 390 both times six touchdowns What was he able to do last year against you guys that you have to stop him from doing this time? You know just he just made more plays We just got to stop that going into this week and just continue to look at our keys on film and just being able to defend it So when we heard from coach Smith earlier, he told us he told you guys this was like a golf tournament, right? You guys had a bad first hole, but you got a whole bunch left How do you guys take what happened in week one shove it aside and turn things around for a tough week, too? All right, you know, it should be you know simple just got put things to rest Continue, you know, we got 16 games left so being able to look for have short-term memory And just be able to come back this following week So we do and you know, we're a big high school football station now being back second year in town What's it like being a high school football fan senior brother at Westlake? It's definitely a blessing just going back and just you know being able to show face often in You know just give back a little bit, you know just being in the presence of my high school It's definitely a blessing for myself and my little brother Well, if you remember last week we talked about people who can affect a game and defensively it was a defensive lineman Where this week we're talking offense and tomorrow There's gonna be a guy on the offensive side that can affect the game Just as much as any defensive guy and his name is Rob Grinkowski and look at on this particular play here Here's Rob Grinkowski here.  Look at this nobody touches it So now he's going to get into this linebacker because of his size because of the speed he can run now You'll reroll him he gets to stay on this particular plane And as you see he finished it and watch him go up and get this football This is a physical receiver from the tight end spot. I said receiver. Yes because he plays like a receiver You have to be able to fight through the hands there of Rob Grinkowski and get that ball Now here's another particular play that they use a mess. You see he's in the same tight end spot here He's in that tight end spot, but also they use them in multiple ways. He's the guy that can catch screens He can go down the field vertical, but on this play He's going to be used in the screen game and you see here. They're gonna dump it off to him It's like three linemen out front. This is an excellent job of the 10-babe Buccaneers using Rob Grinkowski We got to find out where he is at all times and make sure that we got a body on them And we reroll them because he can make you pay Great breakdown shot. Thanks so much more to come on early birds quarterbacks a plenty in the sec each Joe Hamilton's here to explain How the dog should be handling things plus? There's varying amounts of responsibility Depending on how they scheme things He is at the center of the action, but he might be doing a lot more than you or I realized We're going deep with the Falcon Center next on early birds Falcons fans score a touchdown with low tire prices at Mavis tires and brakes the official tire retailer of the Atlanta Falcons Visit Mavis tire calm the finder store near you And bought to you by George a lot of today could be the day But she was committed to a better future by truest BNT and Sun trust are now truest here again. It's Fox fives Justin Felton All right, we welcome in our college football expert Joe Hamilton former Georgia Tech QB Let's start off in Athens where Georgia getting ready to kick off SEC play against South Carolina So Joe the dogs don't have a quarterback controversy because it's JT Daniels job when he's healthy But there's a little bit of QB drama in Athens. How do you think it's playing out? Well first and foremost I don't know when coach Kirby smart is gonna play JT Daniels and what he thinks a hundred percent healthy is for him going forward Can you play my 92? Can you play my 95%? But you are absolutely right. It's JT Daniels job to lose But the backup Stetson Bennett costing back what I would want if I'm a player is that a coach Kirby smart Todd Malkin and then those guys are very honest with saying this is how we're gonna evaluate you through the week And if we in the media don't know who to start in quarterback, I think that's fine But if Carson back or Stetson Bennett don't know until the end of the week You're not communicating well that might be a problem brewing that after it's going forward the second the second team quarterback What what a good problem to have who's gonna be your backup because your starter is so set Let's stay in the SEC another team with some quarterback questions The Florida Gators taken on Alabama big SEC showdown today. Joe any chance the Gators can run with the tide? Oh, absolutely. They can definitely run. You didn't say B You said run with the tide And they're gonna be very very comfortable and confident they can get it done But you can't not get it done with without a mobile elite playmaking quarterback Johnny Menzel the dude threat quarterback to show them why I said keep an eye on Richardson because you might let you know Surprise you in practice with the reason the decision-making, but on Saturdays when I like to the lights are bright He's a gamer. He's a ball player. So you got to have a Script ready for him to take over this game as well. Yeah, and you got emory Jones former high-five sports guy out I heard when disappointing we'll see he'll have a chance on a big stage to turn that around Another big stage for your yellow Jacks this week. They got win number one last week against Kennesaw State Tough one against Clemson today I'm not gonna ask you to pick this game unless you want to pick the Jack Let's go for it, but nobody likes moral victories But what would a win look like for Georgia Tech even if they don't have more points at the end of the day? My goodness good quick move to change No pre-staff errors Clemson is good enough to whether they can beat you on their own They don't need your help make sure that if you have some trick-ums of the after reverses Maybe some flea flickers or what I have you in the game playing onside kick Surprised me you utilize that when the big players present themselves you take advantage of it and at the end of the day Me personally could you ask my direct question? I want to come out of half-time with at least Clemson start is playing in the game is not in hand already I want to win. I believe we can win. That's the message in the locker room. Yeah I believe says that you're not good enough yet. Tell wise So I have to take some morality out of it And I want to come out of the second half being at least in the game And if Georgia Tech scores that upset we will certainly talk about it next week All right Joe enjoy the games today. We appreciate it shock. We'll send it over to you All right appreciate it fellows a lot of focus will be on the Falcons office of line this week The man in the middle is Matt Hennessey and there's much more to his job than just making sure Matt Ryan gets the ball Exactly where he likes it. I can tell you from experience. Trust me The center's job is a crucial part of the office success now. It's time to go deep with the Falcons center Matt Hennessey There's varying amounts of responsibility Depending on how they scheme things but as a center, there is there's a good bit on your plate So as far as getting up to the line of scrimmage, there's obviously a winding plate clock Matt obviously has a cadence He goes through so we'll go up there There's multiple moving pieces schematically on our end as well as their end I think that more of a puzzle than anything But you're also on the clock. So there's that stress put into it You know, there's vocal things I do to get us all aligned.  Then you get out there and being out there is definitely a different thing But it's um, it's a great challenge, but I love I love being able to command it So is that something that you can practice like Matt could sit at home and practice calm play calls all night long? Can you you know pop in film and say okay? Here's what I would be doing as I'm getting to the line like kind of get those mental reps Yeah, yeah, and I think that's what as far as becoming a better professional I think that's something that I'll really try to improve on really trying to put yourself within the film See how the alignments will be against you know opponent scout and then what we're doing Put yourself on the clock and try to work through things It'll always be different when you're out there and you got like a 330 pound nose breath on your neck But um, but there's there's definitely some some grounds to be gained there Welcome back in to early birds Well the Falcons of course do everything they can to head into week two with as short as possible injury report But so often during a season injury decisions will go right up until game time If it makes you sweat your fantasy football team think about how the actual medical professionals feel Here's falcons team physician kyle hammond in this week's emory road to recovery That discussion is kind of On the hour kind of you know through friday through saturday if they're at the team hotel It's still getting treatment. We're still talking about it and then come to the game three or four hours in advance We're doing treatment then we're getting ready We'll go out to the field usually a couple hours in advance and that athlete or that player will test whatever he's dealing with right We'll position specific things that he needs to do to perform And then he's got to feel safe right and I've got to feel safe for him that it's okay to play And that's how we make those decisions. We usually try to make those at least a couple hours in advance of the game though Just to give the coaches some some heads up But like I said, they they don't love it that way and I watch them and our training staff watches them too We look for asymmetries. We look for them favoring something. We look for just subtleties in the way that they're running or cutting Where we may Not only be worried about them injuring that same spot that they're dealing with but possibly injuring something else because they're favoring Some injury. So we're very careful with that You know and we like I said first and foremost listen to the athlete Oh Very interesting. I mean dj last time I was a game time decision was when the coffee maker was broke in the morning Were you ever a game time decision? Yeah, I was a lot of times in in college And sometimes it was because the coach wanted to have a little competitive advantage But then there were times where I didn't know how I felt until I got onto the field that actual day Or that actual morning to get out there at play So sometimes you are a real game time decision But then sometimes there is times where the coaches are trying to play a little mind games with these guys All right more to come on early birds despite the falcons getting off to a slow start It's got Tampa Bay's respect. You'll hear why next on early birds This has been presented to you by Mercedes Benz the best or nothing Falcons fans score a touchdown with low tire prices at mavis tires and brakes The official tire retailer of the Atlanta falcons visit mavis tire.com to find a store near you All right, falcons and bucks tomorrow here on fox five There will certainly be a lot of experience on the field against one another tom brady The model of that has been a quarterback in three different decades in the nfl matt ryan No slouch himself with over a decade of nfl experience brought to the table But it of course doesn't just end with the players buccaneers head coach bruce arians has been in the nfl as far back As 1989 one man that he's had coaching experience against Is none other of course than falcons defensive coordinator Dean peas peas faced off with arians in the a of c matchups while he was with the ravens And arians was the offensive guru for the stealers both men bring over 30 years of pro coaching experience to the table tomorrow And besides that arian says he's been impressed with what he's seen from falcons new head coach arthur smith I've known arthur for a while. Yeah, well, he was a g at memphis way back and He's worked his way up and he's a hell of a football coach totally different defensively, you know Dean peas is very multiple every front known to man every blitz known to man and I think they're all still filling each other out what they can do what they can't do so We've got to be ready for everything offensively Arthur's going to run the ball And it's going to be the wide zone wide zone wide zone bootleg bootleg And but they when they drop back to pass matty matty can put it out there And he still throws the deep seven rounds as goes anybody Well, we'll see if the falcons can bounce back from that week one loss Buckoneers and falcons tomorrow afternoon here on fox five highlights interviews and so much more on the dirty bird report tomorrow night at 11 30 p.m Make sure to tune in and as we wrap things up shock one more matchup to watch tomorrow afternoon I want to see aj terrell take away mike avis take away Antonio brown take away godwin take away one of those guys be effective have a great game And find a way to slow those bucks down a lot of different weapons there for tom brady on offense Aj terrell can do his part We saw him earlier in the one-on-one and we will see if he helps the falcons to their first win Well, that is it for us here on early birds. Make sure to join us right back here every saturday at 8 30 for our quarterback DJ Shockley i'm justin felder make it a great weekend


Discontinuous measurement. These are measurement procedures in which not all instances of the behavior are captured or recorded. I don't know how you capture a behavior.  I don't know how you do that either. But anyway, the point being is simple that it's not every single instance of the response class is captured here.  So, if I'm out of line in the classroom, or I'm out of seat in the classroom, maybe if the teacher is using a time sample procedure, they're only going to catch me out of seat once in a while, right? But they're not going to catch every instance of it, so it will underestimate behavior. There's other issues with these that I don't really want to get into right now, but it's just a category of measurement types. There's lots of different things that fit in this category.


This is the battle you've been waiting for. Google Stadia vs Xbox Project X Cloud. Who has the better game streaming service? Let's find out. So Google Stadia is finally here. It's official, you can get it, I have one, you can go and buy it now. But I've also been using Project X Cloud for quite a bit of time. Now both of them are streaming services that give you the ability to stream your games to your mobile device or in case of Stadia, you can stream to your TV through a Chromecast, you can stream on Chrome browser, either on your desktop or your laptop or Chromebook Go, and also your smartphone which is currently limited to a Pixel device, so Pixel 4, Pixel 3, Pixel 4 XL and so on and so forth. So what do we have with the Google Stadia? Now when you get the Founders Edition, which results for $129, you get a controller, you get a Chromecast Ultra, a specific one that works specifically for Stadia here, you get a charger, some cables and boom, that's all you have. Now the controller itself is a mixed hybrid between a PlayStation controller and an Xbox controller. It's got a Stadia button, which is kind of like your home button that chews you all your different stats. We also have a Google Assistant button, which doesn't work right now, and I will mention a few features that just don't work at launch, which is fine, I get it, those things happen. But the controller feels comfortable, I think you'll get used to it, I just don't personally like the thumb sticks in that PlayStation setting, it's just not my style. So take it as you will, but I think the controllers are solid. Now the controller connects to, of course, either your smartphone, your laptop, or your Chromecast, and to set up the controller you have to use the app on your smartphone. Everything with Stadia centers around the mobile experience, I'll again say it again, it centers around the mobile experience, if you're playing Stadia on your TV or you're playing on the Chrome browser and you want to buy a game, you have to buy it off the mobile app, that's where everything houses there. Now speaking of games, Stadia comes with 22 games, you get two games free and the two games I got were Destiny, Destiny's two kind of like special edition, and Samurai Showdown. Now both games, I was able to play both of them on my Chrome browser immediately and I still noticed some glitchnesses and some slowdowns, it does look good, I'll say the games look at about 1080p resolution max and especially playing on the TV where Google promised 4K 60, I have not got 4K 60 yet, Tomb Raider looks the best but it also looked like a high 1080p game. Now speaking of some other features that of course you have with Stadia is the fact that you can play those games and you can switch from your TV to your Chromebook phone instantaneously, so playing a Tomb Raider, a shot of the Tomb Raider on my TV, once I switched over to my Chromebook Go, it paused on the TV and I just have to continue on my Chromebook Go, so it's a very simple seamless experience.   Now a couple of things to mention here before we take a look at what Project XCloud does differently here, right? So what about latency, how do games run, how does it feel on Stadia? I will tell you my experience has been a little bit mixed, my internet speeds are 75 up and 75 down which should be fine according to Google specs and I would say when playing games like Mortal Combat 11, there are certain points where I had just random slowdowns that happened especially while playing the fighting game, it can be annoying. Same thing also playing with Destiny, it was really twitchy with the controls, it was better with mouse and keyboard than with the controller even though it was tethered in so that's something to take note but I still felt some of the twitchiness there, Tomb Raider actually ran probably the best of all the games there. Now when you look at Project XCloud, we've seen that, I have a video about that, you can go check it out but what Project XCloud brings to the table is the ability to stream games from Microsoft server directly to your smartphone. XCloud is only limited to mobile devices and on the android ecosystem for now, Microsoft has said that it would expand to of course the iPad and more devices as they move along but with Project XCloud comes with 50 games, the process is pretty simple, you sign in with your xbox account and you've got access to a ton of games and Microsoft said they will be adding more games as months go ahead so that's already a clear difference between Stadia which has two free games and you have to pay for games and most of those games are much older than what you see already from Project XCloud off the bat. The extra benefit with Project XCloud is you can stream directly from your xbox console so if you're like me you have an xbox at home you can go ahead and switch to xbox streaming and stream directly from your xbox at home all the games you have on your xbox. Now if you also have xbox game pass then you have a huge library to stream from as well so you have the ability to stream games that are from game pass to your phone and play anywhere. Now xbox streaming on Project XCloud is actually really good I've got to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare which is a new game which you can't play on Google Stadia on my smartphone my Galaxy S10 plus streaming I played multiplayer I died a lot but it worked well and I didn't notice any negligible slowdowns whatsoever. Now just to let you know Project XCloud is set at 720p on the mobile experience that's what Microsoft said but it looks pretty good I also got to play some Far Cry 5 as well and that handled quite well and finally played some Mortal Kombat 11 and I didn't experience slowdowns there. Now playing of course Project Cloud games from the Microsoft server I played a ton of games in my previous video Forza Horizon Gears 5 Halo 5 now I will say Gears 5 was the only game that had the most amount of latency issues especially with audio syncing. Now there's one key difference with both devices here when we take a look at streaming Tomb Raider Shadow of the Tomb Raider on both Stadia and Project XCloud on Stadia it runs really well you're streaming on Wi-Fi you can see the resolution is about 720p ish also on the Pixel 4 and everything ran pretty well. Now on Project XCloud also running at 720p this is streaming from the XCloud servers ran pretty well as well on Wi-Fi and also when I switch to LTE the one thing I noticed is that it will kind of take you out and take you back in they haven't fixed that yet because it's a beta but you can play the game on LTE and the experience is really similar depending on your LTE connection so that of course will come into play but this is also something that XCloud has over Google Stadia Google Stadia does not allow LTE gameplay only Wi-Fi so if you're on Wi-Fi and you if your Wi-Fi want to go off Wi-Fi and play you cannot do that currently in Google Stadia I'm sure that will come in now you're probably wondering okay so what are the key differences Stadia looks good the games played fairly well some games had laggy issues some games did not so what's you know what's the difference here well the very first thing is Stadia is a paid service as I mentioned it's 129 for the founders edition and it's 9.99 a month for 4k 60 streaming now you'll get you're gonna get that first three months for free but sometime in January February you'll be paying 9.99 a month the thing here I'm not seeing is that I haven't seen 4k 60 at any point in time that I've been playing with the root Stadia and hopefully that will come but it is not there available and Stadia has the ability to play on multiple devices like your MacBook your PC as long as you have a Chrome browser your TV and your pixel device while Project X cloud is limited to just Android phones and tablets right there but Project X cloud has more games and its cost is much much minimal as long as you have Xbox Live Gold which is cheaper than 129 you do have the ability to go ahead and start playing Xbox games which are more than what you have with Stadia so there you have it I think overall both services are good I do like Project X cloud more because it's a beta and it's free and Stadia is also a beta let's just be honest this is not a full flood service I know it will get better but right now Google is lagging behind than a beta service with its full flood service so hopefully that changes but what are your thoughts guys who has Stadia who also has Project X cloud what are your experiences let me know if it's something different if you think I'm wrong if you think you've experienced something entirely you know out of this world leave your thoughts down below don't forget to like and share subscribe to the channel and always enjoy your entertainment


Why the economy isn't controlled by one big corporation by Ryan McMacon an audio Mises wire narrated by Michael Stack More than a century of failure mass murder and ruined economies has not been sufficient to dissuade Socialists from the idea that socialism by which I mean Soviet style socialism not social democracy Can bring astounding prosperity once the planners work out the kinks Sure the Soviet Union failed North Korea's a basket case and Socialist countries routinely drive down local standards of living in pursuit of utopia But success will be achieved just as soon as socialists can find the right way to combine new technologies like big data with the right public administration techniques Then at last a functional and efficient socialist state will be at hand One of the latest schemes for finding the right Techniques and technologies that will allow us to crack the socialist nut Could recently be found at the avowedly socialist magazine Jacobin in May of this year The author Paul S. Adler is in search of a model that can allow current Capitalist economies which are really just third-way interventionist economies to transition to a socialist model He thinks he may have found it Quote we have something like a working model of such a system right under our noses in many of our largest corporations and And what is this model? According to Adler large private sector firms have shown that it is possible For one large organization to efficiently produce products and services Based on a single internally created central plan In other words capitalists have shown that societies can be run using strategic management Which sidesteps capitalist competition and decentralization large firms consolidate resources monopolize whole industries and then introduce a central plan to grow the firm and Increase profits in Adler's mind these firms are essentially self-governing bodies that can act in accordance with internal plans That is they may be prototypes for constructing successful socialist states Unfortunately for Adler large firms even very very large ones are not comparable to Socialist states and Adler's strategy of modeling a socialist state on a large capitalist firm is doomed to failure Here's why Adler makes the case for looking at large firms as Organizations that successfully implement central plans akin to those employed by socialist planners quote Many of our CEOs behave like closet socialists Most large firms are divided into more or less self-sufficient strategic business units charged with developing new products and assuring their production sale and profitability in Public their CEOs defend the superiority of markets and competition Over coordination and planning but inside their own corporations where they could leave these business units to compete with each other They rely instead on comprehensive strategic management Such strategic management aims to ensure that the various business units that make up the corporation Coordinate their production investment and other plans to achieve the best outcomes for the corporation as a whole Yes, there are some corporations that try to emulate the market in their internal operations But that approach is relatively rare in most firms the activity of business units is Coordinated by a strategic vision and plan much like the activity of enterprises across the country would be coordinated under democratic socialism Moreover in this internal strategic management process Corporations confront in miniature in the microcosm of the firm The same challenges as those that bedeviled economic planning on the wider scale in the USSR The four biggest of these challenges are how to assure democracy innovation efficiency and motivation and quote If socialists can employ similar corporate strategies Adler appears to believe Then a functioning and efficient socialist state might be made to work after all Socialist economies however don't fail because they haven't yet found out the right management or planning scheme They don't fail because workers in socialist states are unmotivated. They don't fail because they are insufficiently democratic Socialist economies fail because they lack a functioning price system To some outsiders looking in it may seem like huge capitalist firms have worked around the price system It might seem like they make all their planning decisions internally and that through vertical integration These firms have sidestepped the need of an external marketplace But things are not what they seem Large firms with large amounts of vertical integration are nonetheless quite reliant on a functioning price system outside the firm for the purposes of economic calculation and planning Without other firms and without an economy external to the firm Corporate planners have no way to even guess if current strategic plans and production methods are efficient For this reason if a capitalist firm were ever to grow so large that it subsumed all markets Leaving no external functioning price system. It would fail just as a socialist state fails Without prices of firms managers just like socialist planners Can't calculate or estimate what ought to be bought or produced and in what amounts Murray Rothbard addressed this in his book man economy and state when he wrote quote Paradoxically the reason why a socialist economy cannot calculate is not specifically because it is socialist Socialism is that system in which the state Forcibly seizes control of all the means of production in the economy The reason for the possibility of calculation under socialism Is that one agent owns or directs the use of all the resources in the economy? It should be clear that it does not make any difference whether that one agent is the state Or one private individual or private cartel Whichever occurs there's no possibility of calculation Anywhere in the production structure since production processes would be only internal and without markets There could be no calculation and therefore complete economic irrationality And chaos would prevail whether the single owner is the state or private persons The difference between the state and the private case Is that our economic law debars people from ever establishing such a system in a free market society Far lesser evils prevent entrepreneurs from establishing even islands of incalculability Let alone infinitely compounding such errors by eliminating calculability altogether But the state does not and cannot follow such guides of profit and loss Its officials are not held back by fear of losses from setting up all embracing cartels For one or more vertically integrated products The state is free to embark upon socialism without considering such matters While there is therefore no possibility of a one firm economy or even a one firm Vertically integrated product there is much danger in an attempt at socialism by the state end quote In the real world an unhampered or even mostly free economy does not allow for a single firm to become so large That it can take over the entire economy So long as other firms are able to enter the scene Markets will arise and a price system will exist Footnote Parabyland suggests that in a truly free economy there would even be fewer large companies than there are now Very large corporations are a result of government intervention which limit competition end foot note The reasons for this are complex as rothbart explains But in a competitive marketplace firms must constantly reevaluate if they are employing their resources in the most profitable way So long as it is legal for new firms and entrepreneurs to enter the marketplace As is the case in a non socialist economy Managers must ask themselves Is my auto producing firm more efficient when producing its own steel? Or would it be better to lease that land and equipment to some other producer? Is it most efficient for our home building firm to own its own forests and cut its own lumber? Or should the firm acquire the lumber from someone else? It's often assumed by socialists including apparently adler That firms always benefit when they own their own factors of production It is assumed that a firm could force down lumber prices For example, if that firm owned all the forests and employed all the lumberjacks But it is not at all necessarily the case In many cases a firm might become more profitable if it acquires its factors of production from the outside One reason for this is that entrepreneurship often creates new and more economical ways to produce And deliver goods and services And this is often done outside the large and flexible organizations That may already be heavily invested in a certain way of doing things As per violent has noted quote Entrepreneurial production is often and should be done small scale Using highly flexible and adjustable production processes Using technology that is effective at that scale But hopelessly costly at larger scale Economies of scale come into play after the market value of a good has been discovered And consumer demand appears to be way beyond what existing firms are able to satisfy At this point these firms can invest in increasing output But they would typically do so while at the same time shedding stages of production That are no longer necessary to carry out internally Thus they shrink in terms of vertical integration while expanding production volume This is a race to the bottom as competitors attempt to undercut each other by offering ever lower prices Eventually reaching the minimum production cost This process can at any time be disrupted by new innovation end quote Thus it's easy to imagine a case in which a firm voluntarily makes itself smaller So as to become more profitable and more efficient To many socialists, this does not compute It is often assumed that capitalists think bigger is better And that larger organizations are more profitable This of course is far removed from how states and especially socialist states function For a state it's always better to become larger and more monopolistic while exercising more control over the means of production But this process also has the effect of destroying the price system And thus destroying the possibility of economic calculation The end result is economic chaos and ruin For more content like this visit mesis.org

I'm glad I'm glad to be here It had just been too long since I've done a live stream and I just really wanted to do one So I thought we would sit and just chat for a little while just chill out and hang out for a little while And then maybe at the bottom half of the show We can have Storytime I picked this out because I don't Let's see. Maybe we have read this one Let's see I'm not sure if we've read this one or not, but I figure why not we can always try it again. So I'm going with Operation Star Raider Because it has blowtorch and roadblock on it. I just I thought the artwork is pretty good I like the artwork on these books. The artwork on the books are pretty cool Yeah, so what are you guys what what's you up to what you what you're doing what you're collecting You have you picked up anything cool lately That's right valaverse Action force has a sergeant slaughter Figure coming up. Hang on. I've got to get something I'll be right back talk amongst yourselves just for a moment. I'll be right back and I'm back. All right, so so Bubble wrap memories says what books do I have I have a few that will be willing to send you and and have read by you I I don't know. I have to check to see which I assume you're talking about to find your fate books But I have to check. I don't remember exactly which ones. I'm missing but I will check Just not at this moment, but I I'll I'll I'll I'll check on that for you So Sparkster had Kingdom cyclonus delivered Have a new studio series figure for my channel's fifth anniversary. Happy anniversary Happy happy fifth anniversary sparkster. Congratulations for on making it for five years. That's awesome And we're a gas. Hey gas made it. Hello gas. Nice to see you And Matt says he got a retro roadblock because didn't have him in a four inch collection Yeah, the retro series as as we know by now is is not a three and three-quarter inch Series it's four inch figures. So they're modern construction The so that's one reason why I'm not picking them up because I don't really collect modern The killer weasers sends a super chat. He says Would you sell your collection if money was tight? I had to because of truck repairs it hurt to let them go I Guess if if money were that tight, I would have to do what I got to do You always got to take care of your responsibilities first, right? Real-world responsibilities. They've got to take precedence over toys. So Yeah, it does hurt to let that go the killer weaser. I Understand but I think you did the right thing, you know taking care of your responsibilities Even though it meant sacrificing some toys. So well done, sir much respect But I understand how how difficult that can be Nathaniel says I hope you do reviews of Lady J and Flint and what do you think about the GI Joe Hall of Fame? And please do a review of Cobra the other Cobra commander Hall of Fame version the Hall of Fame figures The Hall of Fame figures I Have I guess what you could call a love-hate relationship with the Hall of Fame figures on one hand Hall of Fame Harkins back to The early days of 12 inch GI Joe and I like that connection to GI Joe's history and roots on the other hand their Articulation leaves much to be desired and that is my big frustration with the Hall of Fame figures is the articulation Those those classic 12 inch figures from the 60s and 70s They had great articulation and In comparison the Hall of Fame figures are almost mannequins Let's see Rob M says found the classified roadblock and retro snake eyes in a clearance aisle Local Walmart a week ago 615 for roadblock at 790. Well, that those are really good prices I also think it's interesting That they're turning up on clearance Because around here where I am you still can't find them you can't find them anywhere They are still they still sell out as soon as they hit the shelves or the pegs So I guess in some areas they are going on clearance and in other areas. They are selling like crazy So, yeah, that's that's interesting to see the just the difference It's Sparksters reviewing a studio Megatron. Okay, that's cool. Hey James aka rat face. Nice to see you. Thanks for joining us Other than Cobra commander and the 1964 original do you have any many 12 inch shows? I don't have a lot of them, but I have snake eyes and storm shadow and a stalker from the Hall of Fame line, I wouldn't be opposed to getting More Hall of Fame if I if I can get them at a decent price SEO tour review says retro vehicles are the only things I've seen and I've really Just only seen the his tank lately And the last time I checked even the his tank was sold out So at least in this area, it doesn't not to say everywhere, but at least in the area where I live The retro stuff is is flying off the shelves the classified stuff should still flying off the shelves. They can't keep them in Whereas in other places They're going on clearance. So Hopefully you guys are not feeling the need to pay scalpers for Inflated prices Matt Rubin sends a super chat says a lot of wal-mart start Changing their planograms and taking GI Joe out Probably because they don't have enough in stock to keep the pegs full that makes a lot of sense Because if I were a big retailer like that, I Would not want to have empty pegs for extended periods of time and that's exactly what you what you have Yeah, you go and you find empty pegs and I have to admit that Constantly finding empty pegs at retail has somewhat killed my enthusiasm for the the Classified line. I like the figures themselves But I'm not enjoying Hunting the figures and constantly finding nothing That is not very fun to me and is A little bit frustrating Matt Edwards says the Walmart by my house is filled to room with his tanks and awes strikers Well, that's cool because you can't find them around here impossible to find around here, so We'll just say that Hasbro's distribution is a little uneven Let's let's let's just I think we can say that it's a bit uneven Empty pegs should be a GI Joe codename. Thank you. Yeah, JLS comics. Yes. Yeah new codename empty pegs MC DJs MC DJ ACDC says I read the first wave of classified or now discontinued that may be true except they did or a Recolor and a refresh on Duke and Scarlet, I think it's just Duke and scarlet and I heard that there was a refresh on Snake eyes as well So they're they're getting Some of the first wave are getting reissued with some very minor color Differences hello small town machine shop. Nice to see you. Thank you for joining. Hey, it's Leah. How do you do Leah? Nice to see you as well Mal says Hasbro needs to cut it with the exclusive stores and while those exclusives are What kind of did me in I I was able to get all of the First wave of target exclusives, but it was such a hassle and it was so not fun that That I just I just didn't want to do it again when they when they decided to release even more exclusives I was just like This is just not my bag. I don't it is not fun to me to have to run around to Five or six targets in a day Hunting figures and mostly coming up empty That that is not enjoyable to me. I don't maybe somebody else likes that, but that's not that's not fun to me be Being at target at the crack of dawn when they open It not fun for me. Just personally not fun I was there repaint of roadblock to I didn't remember that hello. What's on Joe mine? the singing cats are Scheduled for the back half of the show Last half of the show there will be seeing cats Cobra Island says I got the retro his tank at Walmart and retro snake eyes Baroness Destro roadblock from a local small small local shop down the street from my house.

That is pretty funny the I'll have to see what Timmer has to say about that But hey, you know what it almost is time for it almost is time For story time This is actually number one in the series of Find your fate now Has every everybody played this before anybody not played it before I'll explain I'll explain Okay, the way this works is at the bottom of certain pages you get choices And you get to Control what the characters do And when we get to one of those pages, I will give you the options of choosing Which page you want us to turn to which pay which option you want to pick and we'll do an entirely entirely unscientific poll in the live chat and I'll just pick which one looks like it it wins I'm not going to actually count in each individual vote. It's purely unscientific But then we try to see if we can survive because on a lot of these It's very dangerous and and you can actually die in these in these books It can be a remarkably violent and morbid for a children's book I have to say so So, oh, hey painted plastic nice of yous to join us nice to see you painted plastic Thank you for joining. I don't know if I said hello to Sean Beckett, but hello Sean Beckett I think what's on Joe line once page 12? Thank you Oh, yeah, I Joe fest 2021. I'm really hoping that the the pandemic is more under control By the time Joe fest runs around because I really miss Joe fest I I miss the experience Not so much just Joe fest, but I miss the experience of getting together with with our friends and Having a nice time and being surrounded by G. I Joe and talking about G. I Joe. I miss that I miss that very much. So I'm really hoping that Joe fest works out this year and knock on wood knock on wood I thank you for stopping by Sargent slaughter slaughterhouse. See you back at the slaughterhouse catch you later So anyway, well here here's something for For beachhead Mike. I think I've showed this before I did I have picked up a A fun co-pop beach head and As was featured Prominently in the most recent review. I still have this thing out. I haven't put away all of the Sargent slaughter stuff But this the box I did not open the box. It was already open But the items are unassembled And I'm going to leave them that way It's the author of you says he had COVID and got off Isolated or get off isolation tomorrow. Well, I'm glad that You know, you didn't have a severe case and you're able to get out of isolation Glad you survived You know and make sure you get well soon But I'll sorry you had to go through that experience it can be rough on a lot of people so Anyway, are we ready? Are we ready? Are we ready for? Storytime I Think we're ready. Okay, so I'm gonna dawn my professor grandpa glasses and I'm going to start with page one and Let's see if we survive this time. Let's see if we survive. Okay. All right Here we go It says can't you move faster ripcord? What's your problem?  You can understand why your fellow GI Joes are a bit edgy Why has Duke your sergeant called a briefing session at this hour? It must be important You enter the low ceiling Low ceiling the room and take your places around the long table There are seven of you waiting in silence for Duke to enter.  What's burning in there? so there's there's the illustration illustration of people at a conference table not a lot of action yet just people at a conference table Turn to page two Smells like burning rubber airtight says with a peculiar grin on his face. It's my boot Mutt cries.   I've got a job for you What's the mission turned to page 20 page 20? I do have a feeling that we've read this one before But that's okay One nice thing about these books is They can have different outcomes, you know, you make different choices they have different outcomes Okay, Duke switches on the slide projector and A face appears on the screen It's the face of a man and with wavy white hair piercing blue eyes and a short cropped white mustache The man is dressed in a long white lab coat Is that it sounds like he's describing baron iron blood doesn't it Anyway, this is dr. Newton Fitzsimmons. I know we've read that before I remember that name He's an Australian scientist and this is dr. Fitzsimmons invention. He clicks to the next slide It shows a small red metal device. It doesn't look like much does it but it's a heavy-duty machine What exactly is it Sarge you ask is called the Star Raider. It's a nuclear Anti-missile device it can be launched from any kind of space satellite You better believe the boys in the Pentagon are real eager to see how this little beauty works. That's where we come in We're not we're going to Borrow it from the scientists airtight asks That's too simple. Duke says we're not gonna steal it. I wouldn't need you guys for that No, it seems that the Defense Department has invited dr. F to Washington He's agreed to fly here and bring his plans for the Star Raider to show the big boys at the Pentagon page 21 We still haven't gotten to an option yet. So sorry about that and Our job you ask our job is to protect dr. Ed Dr. F during his visit to the US Duke says you see I've left out one detail Cobra it seems knows about the Star Raider and Cobra also knows about the doctor's visit to Washington My guess is they'll try something anything to get those plans for themselves You look around the table and the GI Joe team that will be with you on this mission Snake eyes the silent master of the martial arts ripcord the paratrooper blowtorch the fire expert Spirit the soldier with special skills of a Native American medicine man airtight whose specialty is chemical warfare and whose hobby is practical jokes and mutt the feisty dog handler Cobra should know better than to tangle with this group Duke presents you with two different plans for protecting dr. Fitzsimmons and his Invention as strategy specialist for the team. You're the strategy strategy specialist You will have to decide which plan to put into operation turn to page four good grief Wise guy for your eyes only operation Star Raider to strategies plan a in full view Object to throw Cobra off the track by doing what they least expect Background Fitzsimmons planes plane will land at Kennedy Airport in New York. He will then be taken to Washington Fitzsimmons will arrive Why does he fly into New York? Uh, why doesn't he just fly into Washington? Anyway, sorry Got sidetracked a giant parade in honor of all other Of the of all the other parades that are held in the city is scheduled It's a parade to honor parades Don't try to hide strategy Don't try to hide dr. Fitzsimmons have him ride in the parade up Fifth Avenue with the mayor in full view of everyone At the end of the parade route the mayor gets out the car continues on Accompanied by the Joe team to the meeting place in Washington rationale Cobra will be totally surprised Also, would we be next to impossible for Cobra to kidnap Fitzsimmons? From an official limo in the middle of a crowded parade That's the plan That's the plan is just to parade him up the street Literally parade him up the street All right Plan B is on page five plan B mountain retreat Objects to get dr. Fitzsimmons to the most hidden secluded a place possible Background snake eyes owns a small cabin in the high sierras where he goes to escape From the world with his pet wolf It is secret and secluded and as far as is as far as is known Cobra is unaware of it Strategy take Fitzsimmons directly from the plane to the hidden cabin in the mountains Have the Defense Department officials meet with him there and see his plans then fly him back to Australia Rationale he can be gotten in and out of the country without Cobra ever knowing where he is Also, the mountain cabin would be easy to defend against attack if Cobra should happen to locate Fitzsimmons so We got two plans plan a is to parade him around Plan B is to use snake eyes his cabin now. I Don't know if they've asked snake eyes if he wants Them to use their cabin. I guess he didn't voice any objections So, you know, they just decided it was okay snake eyes. We're using your cabin. Is that okay? Yeah, fine Okay, good Okay, so if you want plan a Type 54 in the chat and hit enter if you want plan B type 62 Plan a 54 plan B 62 Let's see what you got Just type those numbers in which 54 or 62 Matt says we use snake eyes cabin last time. I think that's correct. I think we did that last time Well, we got us a vote for 62 We got one for 54 62 is still winning We got a little bit more for 54. We got a 12 nice try nice try. We got some 54s Believe it or not, I think 54 might win unless we get some more 62s 54 what could go wrong? Let's see, you know, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say 54 edges out Not by very much, but I think I think 54 has it let's just give 54 a try So I'm turning to 54 Page 54 Here we go. All right Nice weather for a parade Okay, nice weather for parade day You say as you and the GI Joe team roar into our onto the runway at Kennedy Airport on Turbo cycles.  I'm old-fashioned. I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy blowtorch replies You hear a roar above you its ripcord hovering over the runway in an unmarked sky copter sky copter Okay Here comes dr. F.  He has been briefed on the plan. This is Franz. He says holding the dog up to you I never go anywhere without Franz a Few minutes later your motorcade dr. F and Franz in the back of a stretch limo surrounded by on all sides by GI Joe's on turbo cycles Turbo cycles, I assume they're talking about like the silver mirage. I Yeah, that's what I'm saying Lazarus. What what's the turbo cycle? I assume they're talking about the silver mirage. I guess I Don't know Let's see, where are we a few minutes later stretch limo Turbo cycle speeds down Grand Central Parkway toward Manhattan. Hey, wait a minute. You say to yourself What are those men doing on that overpass up ahead? Go to page 55 You see a group of men carrying some sort of equipment on the overpass above the parkway Are those high-powered rifles? They have up there. You know, you have only seconds to act Should you put your turbo cycle into overdrive and roar up to the overpass to see what these men are up to? Or should you signal ripcord in the sky copter to investigate? So do you want to ride up yourself? Select 72 72 Signal rich core that signal ripcord to investigate page 11. So if you want to ride up in your turbo cycle Select 72 If you want ripcord to investigate select page 11 So let's see. Let's see what we got 72 or 11 Tron bikes 11 we got a couple 11's we got three 11's four 11's We got a bunch of 11's got it's a couple 72's But 11 is has pulled out to a substantial lead. I'll give it a couple more seconds Put ripcord to work Wow, I think 11 has Ah Yeah, okay 11 definitely wins that one 11 won that one by a mile. So let's let's put ripcord to work Okay All right, your eyes on the over your eyes Okay, your eyes on the overpass ahead you signal ripcord on your helmet radio a few seconds later He calls down to report no sweat wise guy just a bunch of engineers with surveying equipment out You breathe a sigh of relief as the motorcade speeds under the overpass the rest of the trip to the city is uneventful Soon after you are introducing dr. Fitzsimmons and Franz to the mayor of New York Thousands of people line the sidewalks as the parade day parade begins. It's a parade day parade a marching band starts up a Suica March as you help the scientist into the back of the limo next to the grinning mayor Just wave to the crowd and enjoy the parade you tell dr. F will be with you all the way The driver pulls the limo beside the gigantic flowered float that depicts the statue of Liberty Standing on the top of the Empire State Building you and the GI Joe team follow your on your turbo cycles This is a piece of cake blowtorch yells to you about halfway through the parade route The crowd cheers and booze as the mayor's car slowly goes by you are about to Agree with your teammate when suddenly everything starts to go wrong page 85 Okay, let's see what goes wrong You hear a loud squeal of tires the mayor's limo suddenly swerves to the right look out the car is going Right into the crowd that someone screams people frantically leap out of the way The limo roars into a shrieking horrified crowd. It crashes through a police barrier and keeps going down a side street They're kidnapping dr. Fitzsimons. You scream to the others.  That's That's disturbing page 48 past it Okay page 48 The limo seems to have slipped away from you guys, but I'm still tracking it It's the voice of ripcord coming through your helmet radio from the skycopter above They're heading up Madison Avenue about 50 50th Street, and they're moving you guys better get the let out over Your signal you signal your fellow team members and throw your cycle into overdrive Cars and taxi squeal out of your way as you blast your way up the avenue at full throttle Soon the limo comes into view a couple blocks up ahead you pull out your auto pistol There are too many people around and too many cars in the way to shoot at the escaping limo And you are you certainly don't want to take the chance of hitting dr. Fitzsimmons They're headed into Central Park now nice day for a picnic ripcord reports It won't be a picnic for them if we get there you scream into the radio What do they plan to do with dr. Fitzsimmons in Central Park? Will you get there in time? You race okay, this page now we're at page 49 Or you race up the park drive after the speeding limo the joggers leap out of the way the limo Smashes through the a wooden grandstand set up for a bike race and keeps right on going They pulls right into the sheep meadow the large grassy area at the center of center of the at the center of the park Look over there spirit yells a cobra helicopter The limo screeches to a sudden stop the back door is shoved open the mayor carrying a pistol Forces dr. F out of the car the mayor is obviously an imposter a cobra agent in a very convincing disguise The real mayor must be in cobra's clutches right now Your companions leap off their turbo cycles and raise their weapons hold your fire you scream You might hit dr. F You hear a loud roar overhead An army skycopter is landing right next to you I took the liberty of ordering up some transportation for you guys You hear ripcord say through the radio in your helmet It could be time for a chase scene Ripcord may be right you watch as the limo driver and the fake mayor shove dr. F into the cobra helicopter Suddenly the scientists dog leaps out of dr. F's arms and scampers away fronds fronds dr. F cries page 14 Okay, we got some choices at the end of this page The cobra agents ignore if it Simmons please for to retrieve the dog The helicopter door closes behind them and the cobra chopper lifts off the ground kicking up a swirl of dirt Suddenly airtight runs after the chopper. I'm gonna hold on to the runner I'll be waiting for him when they land airtight you hot dog. You scream pulling him back I'll work out the strategy for this operation and holding on to a helicopter runner is not it We got to get that dog bad back mutt yells. I got a feeling the dogs real important wise guy Let the rest of the team chase after him in the skycopter will get the dog and then catch up We've got to decide what to do fast Should you forget about the dog and order all six of you to pursue the cobra kidnappers? Or is it possible that mutt is right? Maybe dr. Fitzsimmons brought the dog along for a reason if so you could let Spirit snake eyes blowtorch and airtight follow the kidnappers in the skycopter while you and mutt go after the dog Okay, so first of all here's an illustration That's supposed to be the cobra copter even though it looks a lot like a dragonfly Here are your options.  I'll show you the The illustration one more time Cobra chopper Let's see lots of 28s and 28s and 28s and 28s and it's like only There's only a couple of 44s I'll give it a couple more seconds. Let's see if if 44 catches up Let's see 28 28 28 Still trying to get 12 Nothing on page 12 44 I think 28 one that one I think 21 28 one pretty handily so I'm gonna go to 28 28 Okay Curiosity Okay, okay, more reading here. We go Okay, but it must be out of here I must be out of my ever-loving mind But let's go after that dog you yell over the roar of the cobra helicopter as it lifts away The rest of you guys get going after that chopper They run to the sky chopper a few seconds later They lift off in pursuit of the kidnapped scientist you and mutt run across the sheet meadow Asking picnickers and sunbathers if they've seen a gray terrier No one can remember seeing one then suddenly you see the dog digging in the dirt in front of a metal fence quick You cry to mutt if that dog gets under the fence and escapes into the trees will never find him Frons Frons mutt calls gently don't worry wise guy.  Okay mutt you got a soft assignment now Take Frons back to the pit for safekeeping. I've got I'm going after dr. F now turn to page 50 50 50 50 50 All right People scramble out of the way as ripcord brings the skycopter down in the middle of the sheet meadow Need a lift soldier. He yells you climb into the chopper. Let's get going you tell him the Cobra agents have a Head start, but we'll catch up to them. You pull a small radio device from your pocket I put a transmitter and a microphone on dr. F before he climbed into the limo. Let's see if we can pick Let's see what we can pick up The tracer is working. They're heading north you say But the Mike isn't picking up anything. Maybe they're too far away Ripcord guides the skycopter directly north after a while you're flying over thick forests near the New York Vermont border. Hey Look down there. It's some hotel ripcord yells. You look down and you see two sheer rock cliffs divided by Blue a wide blue river standing on one cliff is a Tall fortress of stone and steel trees grow almost to the edge of the other You look at the readout from the tracking device. Cobra's got the doctor in that fortress You say I know who I knew Cobra had a hidden fortress up here The place is not going to be easy to crack page 51 We have more options at the end of page 51. Yeah, okay Where do you want to land wise guy you can't float up? I'm sorry. We can't float around up here all day We're likely to get blasted ripcord says his eyes on the gray fortress below You've got an important decision to make should you land on the side of the cliff? The fortress is on or should you land on the river? I'm sorry We'll land across the river on the side with the trees landing on the forest side will be would be easier than landing in the trees What hold on? Landing on the forest side would be easier than landing in the trees Okay, but on the other hand the trees will give you cover in case Cobra is expecting you all right On the fortress side. Okay. All right. I got a miss. So we got fortress or forest Fortress or forest? Clayton Lawrence hi So if you want to land on the fortress side Select option 75 if you want to land on the forest side select six 75 to land on the fortress side Six to land on the forest side 75 fortress side seven six Forest side 75 or six 75 or six lots of 75s got any six not 69 Six lots of 75s. Yeah, at least we're being decisive at least this time We're being decisive well done guys because I think 75 is is pulling out ahead Yeah, I think 75 is gonna take this one. All right totally unscientific I'll give it a couple more seconds to see if six catches up, but it looks like It's probably gonna be 75 here one dollar Okay, I'm going with 75 75 This was a long one. We've survived for quite a while. That's good 75 Where's our other skycopter you ask we better find out where the others landed 75 right Where the others landed Before we decide where to come down ripcord tries to raise them on the radio But there's no reply no signal at all looks like we're on our own wise guy ripcord says well I feel lucky today ripcord bring her down as near to the fortress as you can or going in with our machine guns blazing Okay, maybe we'll take him by surprise ripcord says guiding the chopper down They're probably not accustomed to anyone being that stupid.  They got rocket launchers a whole wall of them Kaplow kaplow Ripcord tries to maneuver the chopper away, but you are too near the fortress the rocket launchers are locked on target You cannot escape the deadly rocket fire. Your luck has run out. Cobra has blasted you out of the sky Well, will they soon have dr. Fitzsimmons plans to make their victory complete? You'll never know the end we died Not only did we die We took ripcord with us Not only did we die we took ripcord with us so You know We didn't win that one, but I feel like it was a good time. I feel like it was a good time. I feel like We were decisive We got pretty far we got pretty far But it is actually eight o'clock now, so it is time to wrap up the live stream So I am going to wrap it up.

Okay, in and out of the way we've got a raw edge of the black, we've got a raw back on the right side we'll see the red's there, you hit the right point on the other side and we'll carry on like that, let's go That sounds cool Great thing you second that, the red's in again It's still on that front leg When you're going to go back round you're going to go lunge again, you're going to press out that front leg heel on the floor, toss in the air The black, you're going to go through some blutters, the short blutters widen out on the middle cones No transition, just blutters widening You've got a bit of hand drive going, good It's going half way, bit of break, go half way you're going to go It's eventually up, is it light? It's over, it's over


The study investigates the ionization dynamics of helium droplets irradiated by intense XUV pulses using photoelectron spectroscopy. It reveals a complex evolution of electron spectra with varying droplets size and XUV intensity, ranging from atomic-like peaks to a nanoplasma feature. The results are analyzed through numerical simulation based on rate equations that consider all relevant processes. This article was offered by Y. Opturenko, A. C. Laforge, B. Langben, and others.


Well, hello and welcome to understand men now. I'm your host Jonathan Astley of Jonathan Astley.com And I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today I'm going to talk about how one man emotionally opened up his heart But before I do really quickly if you have a comment to make on this particular video I would love it if you did because any I've got a little special offer for anyone who does make a comment I'm offering a special gift to one lucky person who writes a comment below on this personal video I say personal video because this is a Mother's Day video that I'm making On Mother's Day, and this is a personal share. I'm just going to be kind of rambling for a bit because Many of you who watch my channel are mothers and I want to honor you today big time And yet not all of you are and so we all have mothers and we should all honor our mothers today And there's something particularly special. I want to share today. So really quickly That's my mom and dad for anyone who watches my videos That's my mom and dad and you might notice that I continually change the pictures here today Or to change those pictures with every video and I've got something very special to talk about that as well So my mother passed away in November of 2017 and I'm grateful. She lived a good life She's very blessed. She had so much to be grateful for and we had a very nice Ability to say goodbye to her and so this is gonna be my third Mother's Day without her But what I'm really mourning today is something much deeper and for those of you've been following me You may know this and for those who don't my 19 year old son passed away in July of 2018 Just shortly after my mother did and it obviously an incredibly traumatic event For those who know me his nickname was Salty hence why I have the t-shirt stay Salty today And just for those who are interested So I really want to honor his mother Connor's mother and that is her right there That's Connor and his mom Aaron That's Connor my son Colin and his mom Aaron and that's my mom and my son Connor there as well I wanted to honor her today Because I'll be candid with you after the divorce There was a lot of anger and angst between us and it was very contentious and It took me years to shift that anger and that element of just just that that Friction between us it took years to heal and mend that and I want to lean into that today Because I have so much to be grateful for she was or is a fantastic mother She did a great job of raising the children when I was very myopic and selfish in my own angst and I was going through my emotional despair and She was going through her own stuff too But not one minute not one day did she falter and being a mom and she still to this day is a great mom To our son Colin and so I truly want to honor her big time. I'm so beyond grateful For what a great job she did I mean I I know I feel like I'm rambling here. So I am kind of rambling here Because I am very emotional about this I'm very sad that she's not going to be able to spend today with with our son And I know I'm going to feel the same way on Father's Day, and this is no parent should ever experience this But I want to lean into what did it take for me to open my heart? Why did I? How did I shift from being in that negative place to a much greater positive place? And why I think this is important for everyone to hear again, please post a comment I'd like to hear your thoughts on this and again for one lucky person. I've got a special gift for them What truly opened my heart was was another woman and I was in relationship back in 2010 for almost six years or excuse me 2011 for almost six years of fantastic woman who is a therapist and During our time together. She really got me to open up to appreciate the value of my ex-wife Now I think this is part of them by the way. Here's a picture. I'm since I'm showing pictures. This is a picture of my Ex-girlfriend Sherry Dear friend of mine today and while it didn't work out for us because On some level, I think we were both entered into each other's lives to heal some deeper traumas and wounds and When we experienced that healing we recognized that while we may weren't a great fit from a long-term perspective We are family to one another And why I'm sharing this with you today because it was truly her that helped me open my heart It took another woman Oftentimes we hear men need male role models and that's certainly to from that outer masculine role of being provider protectors, but the emotional Provider protector for us men I believe comes from a woman that opens our heart now I Had to go through some many humbling events and let me Let me lean into this for a second I've gone through many humbling events that got me to a place where I can open up my heart Not everybody experienced this when they have a humbling a man my humbling event was going through the divorce my humbling event Was losing my quarter million dollar job? My humbling event was getting wiped out in the market at 2008 and while I did go down the bandwagon of drugs and alcohol for a while. I Also was able to climb my way out Not every man can do this, but many men can and when I did it took this woman for I'm sharing with you this special lady To really encourage me to lean in with my ex-wife Again, she's coming from a therapist background, but she wasn't coming from a place of negativity She was like encouraging me to be loving and kind and generous and but most of all she was Reminding me to be appreciative and to be grateful She continually reminded me to be appreciative and grateful and what I recognize is for a man to open up his heart It starts with gratitude. It starts with appreciation But it's not just open up his heart for any new relationship It's open up his heart for every relationship and this is why I want to honor my ex my ex You know, I don't even like saying exes say the mother of my children Aaron I am so grateful for you today and I'm grateful for my mom too, but I'm very grateful for you today And I just wanted to say this publicly because I'm gonna post this publicly and my hope and invitation is This might inspire others to do the same. Maybe my words here today might be worth sharing with another guy Might be sharing to your ex-husband or maybe to some other ex out there As I want to encourage all men to lean in and appreciate their ex-spouses, especially if they have children Please send them a thank you because they are doing the Herculean work Because it takes a lot of work for single mothers to do what they did and she did a great job And I think it's so important that we all honor Not just single mothers but honor every woman and honor every man because ultimately when we come from a place of gratitude and appreciation This uplifts everybody and that's my message for everybody today and I miss my son Connor deeply stay salty And I'm grateful for a great for a great mom for myself and a great mother to Connor and to Colin Okay, as I said before I'd like to hear your thoughts.
