They are the fan favourites of a lot of the rallies, the classic sideways through all the corners, third place, Brett Stevens and well done, Tony Brandon made a mind, third place, congratulations. Yeah, thanks Dino. It was a long event, we had a lot of problems but we got to the end.  It's a bit like that, isn't it Tony? It's a long event for these machines and you've been in the sport a long time, even finish, let alone get a podium is awesome. Yeah, it was a very long event, it all started on Monday with testing, we didn't have a very good test with the gearbox and then we went out Friday morning, we thought we wouldn't change the gearbox and unfortunately it started to play up. On Saturday we should have changed it Friday night but we went on with it and the guys managed to actually change it Saturday night and Sunday I think we went pretty well but the dramas we had with clutch, slapping and the actual gearbox destroying itself from the main street of Bowel, we put on a bit of a show there for all the locals on that, it was quite good and I'd just like to thank Brett for a well drive this weekend. The crew put a massive effort in this weekend, they had some late nights, yes we fed them beer afterwards but they put it in a big effort so thank them. Keith and now congratulations, second outright in the classics, that's an awesome job. Ah Dean never expected it mate, Neil and I came down here, the crew came down expecting to run a three day event which is pretty mammoth job in itself, the podium wasn't on their mind mate. Pretty good though, this guy knows how to steer this thing doesn't he? He does, great machine he's got here and had a ball this weekend, it was fantastic. Now I'm looking at it, I don't believe, I think you've got a stunt car because to do three days on the toughest event on the calendar and it looks awesome, I mean to get the result and keep it tidy you'd be a happy man.  Look we've had our dramas, we did a clutch one night, we did a starter motor, we repaired the fuel tank, last night we started weeping. Mate we've had a work cut out but this, and also sorry we came down here with a 700 metre old BDA engine, so we did the shakedown, 8Ks and then we went and did the event, so nah it's been superb. Clay Badnok and Andrew Dunbar, another one mate, another classic win congratulations, awesome. Yep thanks very much, nah it feels really good, it's been a long few years and a tough year last year in this car and now it's reliable and it's doing its thing and it's down to us and we're really enjoying it. Andrew Clay's pretty understated, he's a very good driver and you won't ever say that on camera I know but it must be pretty good to sit in the car with him. It is and look we really gelled this weekend, this is the best, the fastest we've ever been and our notes are really good and Clay's just done an exceptional job this weekend, it's been fantastic, absolutely privileged to sit next to him. Yeah it certainly would be mate, leading the championship, must be really enjoying your rallying at this time, you said rough drop last year, all coming together beautifully. Yeah it is and it's a shame this weekend with Neil on the sidelines but it's nice to be on the top step. I think mate with the pace you're all going you might give him a run for your money. Oh I don't know about that. And how good are these team behind you everybody? Congratulations to the whole team, well done first in classic. Thanks very much.


Kenyans anxious for news on the next president two days after a tight vote, and eight policemen killed in Sierra Leone's protests. This is Plus Politics. I am Mary Anna Cole. Two days after Kenya's general election, officials are yet to announce who is leading the presidential race in East Africa's original powerhouse. Confused citizens were seen struggling to make sense of the divergent tallies from the media in a nail-biting closing race. Meanwhile, some citizens were worried that the media's different tallies could inflame claims of rigging, which had sparked violence in past elections. Many have urged fellow citizens to wait for the official results. The outgoing president, who Kenyatta has reached his two-term limit and has endorsed veteran opposition leader and former political prisoner Rai Laodinga for president after falling out with Ruto after the last election. Kenyan election authorities have proceeded with tallying cautiously wary of the mistakes that cost the Supreme Court to nullify the results the last time and ordered a rerun. Joining us to discuss this is Jim India. He is a policy and research officer, and of course he is an analyst. And also joining us is Ago Gorbo, who is a foreign affairs analyst. Thank you so much, gentlemen, for joining us. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm going to start with you, Jim. Give us, paint a picture to us of what's happening right now in Kenya. I mean, I know that everybody is waiting, some are seated on the edge of their seats waiting to hear the results. But it's taken two days after the elections, and we're yet to get a final result. Some say it's too close to call, but you're the man who's on ground. Give us an idea of what's happening. All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Right now. What we have is the independent election environmental commission in Kenya is doing the tallying because what we had in the country was the result would be done at the polling station and then they would be electronically transmitted to the National Tallying Center, where the independent electoral and environmental commission seats. So right now the independent electoral and environmental commission has received all the different results from all the 290 constituencies in Kenya, and they are doing verification of those results, and the verification is being done alongside 20 agents and international and local observers to just ensure that the results that we have at the National Tallying Center are the same as what was announced at the polling stations. Now once that verification is done, the chairman of the electoral commission will then go ahead and announce the results of that particular constituency. So as we speak right now, they've announced about 30 or so constituencies, and we have about 260 more constituencies to go. By law, the body has seven days to announce the results. So they have said they are on track. They have until Tuesday next week. In 2017, we did not get a result until four days later. So by any signs, we are actually on a good sign. But of course a lot of Kenyans are anxious, as you said, because the media had started doing the tally before the commission did. And different stations had different results, because they were tallying from different polling stations. So obviously they're going to have different results. But as we speak, the media has stopped doing the tallying, and they are all now waiting for the commission to do the tallying. Let's talk about how this selection has been largely about economic class, the hustlers versus the dynasties, which I also know that ethnicity is also sprinkled around it. Let's dive into that. So the two main contenders, which is you have William Muto on one side who has been pushing for the hustler narrative or what we call the bottom-up economic approach. Essentially, he's saying that majority of Kenyans are at the bottom of the economic pyramid, and a lot of government investment needs to go to the bottom of the economic pyramid, so that you then bring those who are at the bottom, bring them up. And he's really pushing. His message resonates a lot with the hustlers. So that is those who drive motorcycles, those who sell vegetables, the low-income owners in the country. And it has pitted them against the wealthy and the rich, who are called the dynasties. And on the other side, Bailu Dinger, who is the son of Hormel, the first vice president of the Republic of Kenya, Jaramungi Gengu Dinger, he is more or less calling for social protection programs. He is saying that because, again, majority of Kenyans are poor, the government needs to invest a lot more money into them. But he's asking that the state government should give at least 6,000 to 2 million poor families every month to cushion them against poverty, against hunger, and to give them the chance to sustain themselves. He's also pushing for free education from primary school all the way to university. He's pushing for free healthcare and access to healthcare for all Kenyans. So you have these two extremists. On one side, we need to inject money in the lot of people to make money on their own. But on the other side, you have someone saying we need a social protection plan that actually ensures that first they have money and then we will then create more jobs. But of course, both of them are trying to appeal to the youth who are the largest majority, who are the largest constituency in Kenya, just like any other African country. Unfortunately, young people do not register so well in this election. We only had about 39% of the registered voters being young people. Our voter turnout of the 22 million registered voters, only 14 million turned up to votes. That's about 65% voter turnout. But again, many people do not turn up to vote for this election because they do not see how it affects their life. They do not see how whichever way. So it's Rai Lodin and William Bruto how that will impact the quality of their life. Interesting. Let me come to you. Let's do some history, 60 second history class here. Let's do a brief comparison as to what's happening in 2022 as opposed to what's happened over the years. And let's see if there are any shared differences, you know, compared to what's going on today. All right. Let me say Ashanti Sana. All right. I think that when you compare and you contrast all that happened in previous elections in Kenya, you know, what will come to your mind will be from 1992. So you had Arap Moi, then after Arap Moi, you had Waikibaki. And the reason why the entire continent began to take place of the Kenya election was because of the unfortunate violence that happened in the aftermath of the 2007 election. And then you remember what happened with the constitution reform. I'm sure Jim can talk a lot about that and how you had elections happen in 2013. Incidentally, I was in Kenya for the elections in 2013, where it was between Uhuru Kenyatta and Rai Lodinga also. I also got into Rai Lodinga also during that election. And it's interesting because you have the eyes of the entire regional media picking that, but for me, the violence that happened in 2007, it could happen again in 2013, whether lessons had been learned. But thankfully the 2013 election was peaceful. And you had Uhuru imagine as the president of Kenya. 2017 also to a lot peaceful compared to what happened in 2007. So what we've seen as elections in Kenya has happened as it should happen is the eyes of the continent of the rest of the world moved away from, like you said, has moved away from the fear of violence happening to whether every day ordinary Kenya stands to benefit from whoever emerges as the winner of the election of the election in Kenya, which of course is where we all hope and what we hope should be the legacy of the democratic process in Kenya. Whether it's in Kenya, whether it's in Ghana, whether it's in South Africa, or even Nigeria, the continent wants a free, fair, great election. We want to get to a point just like when I called elections in Ghana where the election observer mission then said, look, we want the time to happen where the internet will not send observer missions from Europe, from the Americas or from the Commonwealth to observe elections because they believe that the local election body conducting elections does not need outside supervision or a stamp of credibility. These elections are free and fair based on what we observe. Rather, we can look at all of us as Africans and say, these elections have met not just our local standards, original standards, but global standards of how elections should be held. So I think like the rest of us who are brought now and having to wait until the election results are finally out, we'll keep our fingers crossed. I think the legacy of the election in Kenya, in terms of what the conduct has been compared to what we saw in 2007 and the years before that. Let's go into the politics of it all. It's very intriguing for those of us who are looking from the outside in that a Kenyatta is supporting Arilo Odinga as opposed to a Ruto who is his number two. Let's look at the politics there. How do you explain that to the average person? I think that it's a question, interestingly, that we also have a living Nigerian experience. I was talking to a politician a couple of days back and I was trying to child him that, look, if you have a political party and then you move from one party to the other party, does that in any way mean that you're a credible politician we can trust? And he said no. The party is just a vehicle for the politician. They're all the same. So many African democracies are puncturing at that level. You can count on your fingertips the African democracies that have the candidates that really believe in their party policy or their party's agenda. They're basically looking for a vehicle to improve. This is why you can imagine that in 1992 you had William Ruto backing Uruk Eniata. And then afterwards he decided to run for office and he said no. He's not going to come back. He can't come to me and they were upset with him. He won't give back his godfather. And then he ran for the election, obviously opposed to Uruk Eniata. But interestingly, remember when they ran in 2013, you know, both of them on the same ticket. I spoke with the African Union head of political affairs and I said look, people are concerned that you have William Ruto and Uruk Eniata who are wanted for war crimes, had charges to answer. If you have them win the election, how will the African Union have a president and a deputy president having to answer war crimes charges? And he said no. Let that time come. We'll cross the bridge. Win the election. It is the popular need of Canadians. But they best represent their interests. Because the rest is history. Those charges were eventually dropped. And I want to tell you, I'm sure that, you know, that Uruk and William Ruto were on the same ticket because it was politically expedient for them at that time. When they had used their youthfulness one for the other, I'm sure Uruk realises it's time for him to look at the problems and maybe explains why you had them, I guess, and yet you would not have to get in support of an outgoing president, Kenyatta. Interesting. Let me come back to Jim. Jim, let's talk about how crucial this particular election is to the people of Kenya. And of course, I'm wondering what source of reforms are Kenyans looking towards. I mean, looking forward to. Especially after Uruk and Yatta is leaving office. What are the things that they're looking out for? And how does that determine how they vote? So one of the reasons why this particular election is very important is it's a transition period. We live in, you know, Uruk and Yatta have had these two terms. And he is handing over power. He's agreed to the transition. And like many transitions, they need to be managed. Because we're coming from a president who invested heavily in the infrastructure of this country, invested heavily in connecting last month with connection, invested a lot in education and healthcare. And those investments came at a price. They came at a very huge public debt. We have borrowed. When Uruk and Yatta came into office in 2013, our debt was at about $2 trillion. When we were moving to office, our debt is close to $9 trillion. So it's giving us to the huge. And the next study of the session needs to come and figure out how we pay off the debt that we owe to the international community. Also number two, Uruk and Yatta is leaving office when a huge population is employed. Again, that's a story that is very common across many African countries. But we need to figure out how do we get employment for the majority of our population. Those are some of the two priorities in this particular election. How do we pay our debt and how do we get our Yatta employed? Beyond that, we also have a huge population that's now educated, but we do have enough capacity in our higher institutions of high learning. Before he left office, he gave university debt at about 20 different universities because we're trying to expand that infrastructure to allow more young people to go to higher education. So this particular election is put into Kenya because of that. It's the economy is what is on the ballot. The economy is what we are looking for. Both candidates had a very valid plan and valid manifestos to doing the economy and the issues that I'm raising. Let's talk about the issue of corruption. Just like Kagawa mentioned, corruption is an issue discussed everywhere in the world. But then Africa seems to have more of those conversations. What would you say about the level of corruption in Kenya and what would a leader need to do to stem that tide if there be any? Both of the candidates, the leading candidates on the ballot, we have four presidential candidates, but who are the leading candidates? And William Ruto. So Ryle Odinga has come out to be a very strong anti-conductual court leader. He chose a woman deputy president, Matakarua, who has a long history of standing on the right side of justice. And in fact, when Matakarua was appointed deputy president or running to Ryle Odinga, she's not just going to be deputy president, she's also going to be the minister of justice in the traditional affairs. And one of the reasons why that became very popular is because they were seen as anti-corruption procedures. They have for a long time been a great corruption. On the other side, you have William Ruto and his running mate. During the electoral process, the running mate was actually enacted for corruption in a court of law. So they have been seen as not being anti-corruption, but they have made it very clear in their manifesto that if anyone is found capable of corruption, then they will be prosecuted. Part of what needs to be done, and both parties have said it, is that the judiciary needs to be independent. Now the only way to get the judiciary to be dependent is to have a fund that is controlled by the judiciary and is not controlled by the executive. And so right now, there's been the establishment of the judiciary fund which comes directly from the ex-checker and is not controlled by other parliament or the executive. That way, the judiciary can actually make very fair judgments without the fear that their funds will be blocked either from the executive or from the legislature. The second thing that is done is that other institutions, institutions like the police, we have an anti-corruption commission. We have a directorate of criminal investigations. All these institutions now need to coordinate their efforts better to ensure that we are stopping any charges in spending of public process. The last thing that needs to happen is that even the criticism needs to be a lot more vigilant in keeping the public officials who have just been elected accountable so that our involvement in the electoral process does not end at the ballot. It does not end at voting, but it continues even after that that we continue to participate in the budget making process and keep our leaders accountable to track if the things that they say they will do, they are actually voting. Let's talk about some of the reforms that the electoral reforms that Kenya has in place. Maybe countries like us who call ourselves the Big Brother of Africa can learn from. Don't forget our elections are just around the corner. We are in campaign season. I understand that prisoners and people in diaspora can vote in Kenya and they actually make up about 3 to 4 million in total according to authorities of the voting population. What are the other things that you think Kenya is doing in terms of its electoral process that we can learn from? Excellent. I think it's a brilliant point about how the Kenyan electoral process has also provided lessons for the rest of the African continent. I'm not too sure if we have to wait 7 days or 4 days before the election results come out in Nigeria how we are going to go through that. I would have to say admire their patience in having to wait for the results to be out 3 to 4 days. If you had that happening in Nigeria, they would be panning on you. Even with the plethora of fake news and all of that information going on, I know they are having a difficult time having to control the narrative in terms of how the news is coming up in terms of officials. The chair of the electoral and banter commission talked about how difficult it was controlling the news coming in from those sources. I think it's a problem we are going to have to face also because the Kenyans didn't get very early on the technology electronic transmission results. By 2013, it was even used even before we began to use the CAD reader and that process which we now have in Nigeria with the viewing photo. We spoke with Ironhack about that's the Nigeria electoral commission about how within the narrative for so you can have people in groups or classes get involved in the election. They say that how difficult it was for us to even get this current electoral law passed. So 2020 general elections will be done and the next hurdle will be to see how to get the diaspora voting involved to see how to get those who are in prisons for example get to vote. Those who are in so-called essential duties that get part of the process because it's a huge chunk of the numbers of people who don't get to vote an election in Nigeria so I think that's something we have to learn very quickly from also too. I think another thing I saw with the election that was going on in Kenya is so we do the CAD reader thing so if you don't have a CAD reader for example then you can't vote but I saw that they could vote with identification like ID cards and all that. But here you can't vote with ID cards with a PVC. So it's a question about what we've been able to do with our data aggregation. If you have one data which is key into a SEBA we should be able to use that whether you have a PVC any document you have which has a barbed you can store in a central SEBA which is a barbed identification document you should be able to vote with it. So those are things I think we should be able to trust in the elections and I think even up to now Nigeria has been able to help other African countries into the electoral process too. They go with the ECHONEC which is the economic community of the election of SEBA so we provide logistic support and Nigeria leads that team able to share experiences and also resources for electoral elections in Liberia and I think once in Sierra Leone also too and the Gambia Nigeria is also used to provide it but I think the point Jim makes also where we are too as a nation what happens after electoral process how involved is the electorate after the choice of candidates in ensuring that what we call Nigeria the dividends of democracy happens we don't have to wait for four years or five years and say okay we can go to the ballot to see whether the person has worked or not worked we should be able to bring a scorecard on a particular basis to say on this parameter how has this person fed this particular policy how has this person fed because we are able to check this very quickly it will put the politicians of the candidates who have won the elections to make sure that they are able to score themselves themselves out before the date of the election so I think that's one very important point to make which colour force can lend from accountability I also think that you know the problem Kenya has a Kenya has never suffered a coup d'etat they've got a democratic experience and since many have gone I think even Kazania also too immediately don't have that problem with them the problem people have pointed out in the West African even in Central Africa also too the whole of Rex you know the blocks which formed the African Union the Ritual Blocks what have you done to check through the peer review mechanism what is happening none of us have observed missions to what elections this election met local standards this election met regional standards because the same people are pointed back at the regional bodies representatives when the coups are happening say where were you when this festival actually on and after one to three months you're in need of electoral promises so I believe those are lessons that we can compare those with countries like Kenya to see how to make the democratic experience a more wholesome experience rather than what we are going through we are not being necessarily represented in the policies or government that they interestingly elected very good finally let me come back to you Jim let's talk about peace I'm a peace ambassador so I'm always looking for peaceful strategies when it comes to the electoral processes how or what strategies I think I should ask what strategies peaceful strategies has Kenya over the years been able to use or apply that's helped because just as we said we remember 2007 very vividly because it's still irreverberated across the continent but now Kenya is experiencing a peaceful hopefully hand over to whoever takes over after these results are read and it's been able to also manage information dissemination so far just like I said in a very patient manner what are some of those strategies that again we could learn from the rest of the world could learn from because it seems like Kenya is you know on the up and up so one of the things that I mean changed up 2007 we've got a new constitution we've emulgated a new constitution in 2010 and that constitution did two things one it created what we called the national co-teacher and integration committee whose sole mandate is to ensure that throughout the year throughout the electoral process we've been maintaining peace so if any politician spews hate speech or is incitement to violence this commission needs my input to charge them without offencing it's an offence to actually incite violence it's no offence to use no hate speech but the second thing that we also did after that commission is we created pathways and opportunities that political disputes could be dealt with in a courtable so in 2013 while loading and disputed the results of the presidential election he went to the supreme court he was hired and the judges ruled against him and he accepted the results and we all moved on in 2013 he again disputed the results of that election he went to the Supreme Court he presented his case and that constitutional court ruled in his favor in his election so we have seen from past experiences that actually there are legal meaning legal way of resolving a natural dispute and now this does not just happen at the presidential level it happens at the governance rate it happens at the member of parliament race if you have any issues with the process you can go to court, present it and you know you will be happy so I think that particular confidence that people have had with the judiciary as I can say there is no point of us fighting because the courts actually treated their job but the last thing that has happened is that the civil society has voted on an incredible job of preaching of doing civic education among especially the young people saying hey we need to be together we have a country after this election and so those three sort of strategies are part of the reason we are enjoying the people we have even right now people are saying if anyone with huge results of this election the Supreme Court will open please go and contest at the Supreme Court Well good luck to you and of course while you wait for the results we are hoping that the people of Kenya will be pleased whoever turns out to be their president Agogo Obo is a foreign affairs analyst and Jim India is a policy and research officer thank you so much gentlemen for being part of this conversation thank you thank you thank you all for staying with us we will take a quick break when we return we go to Sierra Leone to find out what is happening someone a few people actually were killed as a result of a protest that took place in Sierra Leone we will be having the head of a security agency in the country speak to us after this break


Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Michael Hunter of Cloud9. How are you today, Michael? I'm well. How are you doing, Tracy? Very good. You know, I have seen Cloud9 advertised absolutely everywhere.  Would you tell the investor intel audience, what is Cloud9, please? Cloud9 is a Canadian firm specializing in the design, construction, and sale of English as a second language curriculum for schools and institutions overseas that need an English language curriculum as part of their studies program. Perfect. And of course, you and I know, but not everybody out there may appreciate how large the ESL language market is. Can you tell us a little bit about the market size that you're targeting? We are exactly right. I think a lot of people don't realize English generates $35 billion a year annually. That's more than all of the other languages combined, so it really dwarfs the linguistic market. And of course, we also, our investors love the jockey that they're investing in, and you have a fascinating background about how you got into this market. So you were brought up in Africa and you speak all these different languages. Can you give us a quick introduction to who you are? Well, I was fortunate to have some time traveling overseas as you alluded to. I went to Vancouver, lived in Canada, East Africa for a number of years. And so he came back, studied some French through high school and university, and then got involved in learning Mandarin tracing back in 1987. So a little bit ahead of the curve, ran a translation company for a number of years, been involved in some mining, but always had an interest in education and specifically linguistics, teaching people how to speak English. Okay, I would say you're way ahead of the curve and the competitive advantage, as I understand it, is your digital curriculum. That really separates you from the PAC in ESL. Can you tell us a little bit more about that, please? Yeah, it's interesting to see, I think some of the bigger groups like Cambridge and Oxford would have taken the challenge on to create a cloud hosted digital curriculum, but it's not the case. And so Cloud9 finds itself, as you said, at the front of the PAC, leading the way. We've created a cloud hosted digital content curriculum that takes people from, hello, my name is Tracy, all the way through university level English. It's been designed for delivery in a classroom by an instructor. So this is not a self-study program. This is a program that's used by an instructor in a classroom. And as I said, it takes people all the way along, very defined steps as you move yourself from a novice right through to an accomplished English speaker. Obviously, there are some people out there who appreciate the digital curriculum. I noticed a news release about your exclusive selection for Mexican government scholarship program. That sounds to me like the right kind of contract for an ESL company to secure. Use this as an example of what Cloud9 can do. Well, it's a great example. We have our school here in Vancouver, so we have a registered accredited ESL school where we're able to test the curriculum and put it in front of students before it finds its way to the program. But the scholarship program you're referring to is signed with three institutions in Mexico just a couple of months ago. It allows for their students to come here and study English, but more importantly for our investors. It opens the door for us to negotiate our curriculum being made part of their studies program. And just to give investors a sense of size, these three institutions have 600,000 students among them in Michoacan state. So putting that into revenue for Cloud9, that's somewhere between $10 and $50 million worth of bread. So those are the kinds of programs that we're looking at going after. And this actually appealed to me. I was reading a little bit more about you, Michael.  What should we as shareholders really anticipate seeing the next couple of quarters as you're working towards that very impressive objective? Well, we've been very clear from the get-go that we need to be revenue positive as soon as we possibly can be. Our objective, our current corporate development plan sees us being in that position by the end of the calendar year 2017, which sets us up for great growth, both organic and assisted growth as we look into the years in front of us. Well, Michael, thank you so much for joining us. We are so looking forward to following the Cloud9 story. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Tracy. Delight to sleep with you. Cheers.

next level this place is so cool I love the look of this area it's just so sick more explosion monsters yep explosion monsters everywhere oh my gosh I love them there they're she kind of cool I love the way little explosions coming off them really well done really well done we're just frenzy we just frenzy it'll be good we will win and stuff probably it should be good most likely blame oh Stormlord we are stunned love to see it lovely lovely lovely lovely I love to be stunned it's great it's really great really cool and good everyone loves getting stunned just the best part of this game is when you get stunned it's really good it's just amazing blade okay he's gonna storm lord me next watch watch it happen we can't hit at the moment but we're gonna try anyway because one day it's gonna work it's gonna work I tell you it's gonna work you can laugh at me now but when it works I'll be the one laughing this is a storm lord told you and I just know this game too well I've obviously played it I'm getting so good at predicting what they're gonna do I don't know why I have this ability but I do I have this ability I just know I just know it just know what's gonna happen this is if I am just so smart that I can see it coming but I'm not I'm not that smart right this should kill easily hopefully is that what they're metham death metham storm yeah easy easy peasy nice right gg voice corrupts up there wizard right next next next next next next next haha this is not what I wanted to be is that tongue knock no some sort of copy a shade in other words a warm-up hi rose

the one we do that you've been up for 30 minutes valid fair fair fair fair fair makes sense right hello hello scarecrow goodbye goodbye little guys goodbye farewell actually I don't think I killed one of them you said through four alarms oh my gosh that's quite a few alarms that is quite a few alarms no no don't do this spell no no no no please please I am small I'm small smaller guy please don't do this to me no that was unfortunate really unfortunate right so we're gonna double blade into a shipper falls hopefully we will be able to do enough damage with that hopefully hopefully hopefully we will find out soon find out very soon but dumb but dumb but dumb but dumb keep blade and what is this no it's a trap no don't trap me it's okay the traps are fine this is not good though this is really not good this is so unfair why would you do this why do you know the spell please stop stop it no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no I feel like he just hates me for existing and that's not very nice of him it's not very nice of him at all I should have probably switched to balance pips oh well oh well we'll do that now we do that now we switch to balance pips now balance bum bum bum bum can blam okay here we go right hopefully the skin kill even through a shield we'll see we will see we do have two blades and a frenzy so this is kind of like all or nothing really we did pierce through a lot of that shield which is good but he still has resist on top of that oh yeah we easily killed easy kill easy peasy speaking of we need to carry some grim readers this is not what I wanted to be wizard why do you stare at that thing we beat it already no I didn't hear it say anything but I think I see the way out up ahead leave the beast and let's go okie dokie we do have a reshuffle and we do cool cool cool right next haha we made it I'll drop a rope to the previous ledge in case we need to return there are the cannons now just beyond another swarm of mustache birds that are on fire because of course they are you hold them off I'll destroy the cannons okie dokie um Bollackle Phoenix here we go let us destroy them and get to destroy the little Phoenix man bum bum bum bum bum bum because of course they are exactly best line in the game because of course they are boom boom boom boom boom boom boom okay she's called interesting choice interesting choice don't be a weakness okay that's fine that is fine hopefully this case hopefully this case here we go die little moustache man die die die die yeah that's right get destroyed get absolutely destroyed destruction noises mega destruction noises yikes yikes yikes yikes hello why do we have to go this way I don't get this I don't get this keep fighting with it okay okay game appreciate it yep right let's do another one because you know just can't get enough can't get enough of fighting these little dudes these weird little dudes right frenzy means we should be able to scarecrow next if we get it which we hopefully do hopefully get it that would be the best the best thing do we we don't of course which is great and cool and good we will blade we will blade first and then we will hit bum bum bum bum bum bum bum okie dokie nice we blade cute and goodbye goodbye farewell farewell moustache you must be dead now blade and destroyed absolutely destroyed good job good job that's the last cannon cat man do is safe for now but that won't stick unless we stop tongue okay okay okay who's Dakota why is it just standing there looks like we've got another climb ahead of us but beyond that is tongue rock stronghold can't wait to see what's in there feel like this guy's gonna come into my fight and I don't want him I don't want him I don't want it good he fled he saw me and left I put off vibes that are intimidating or something like that but is this a literal golden horde I was granted my words became wishes my wishes became reality it can't be tongue rock we are always to possess oh my gosh wow look at this who's in tongue out stronghold could it be tongue arc I don't know I don't know we're gonna have to wait and see gonna have to wait and find out you never know there could be a massive plot twist and it may not be him lines are pointing that it is him but you know that's what they want you to that's what the writers would do to think it's actually not probably baby big plot twist incoming imagine imagine right frenzy just do the same strategy over and over and over again and you will always win it's how it works just simply how it works what is this blade cute oh my gosh cute right gg bye bye get rekt destroyed get absolutely destroyed bye bye bye bye bye bye golden guys see you later yeah that's right didn't like it when it's on the other foot a don't know what that means but whatever I've got all day let's see how many flakes I can peel says the one who's playing good luck with that yeah it would be really quite terrible if I just stopped them you know imagine that I just stopped them in his tracks and he couldn't do it what would happen then what would he do then I don't know it's just some guy yeah he's just some guy you know it's not tongue-kick it's just some random guy just some random guy just doing things and talking to things and doing stuff you know it's not tongue-kick hundred percent not tongue-kick should kill should kill theoretically snow angel cute cute cute cute no one uses this I've never seen anyone use the spell like any actual human player do people even use the spell I don't know the only times I've seen this isn't the first fight in dark more and like here and that's it no other times no one uses that spell literally no one it's a cool spell but no one uses it why is that why is probably because it sucks it's got a taunt on it doesn't it well he's mad and his madness is spilling over into the stone shaping it somehow corrupting it we have to stop him okay I guess we can stop him if you insist move ancestors have risen from their graves to let voice to my car I see one ancestor and he isn't talking whoa don't call me a peasant I will destroy you very quickly very quickly watch this watch this I'll destroy him in two rounds pretty crazy I bet he won't see this coming there's nothing he can do to stop me I'm just too good way too good now nice we played nice we played there lovely lovely lovely and goodbye and goodbye see you later bye bye tongue okay this can stop me this is really unfortunate I didn't really think that he could earthquake you know like that's a little bit advanced for what I feel like he is you know just seems a little bit too too advanced for this but I guess that happens sometimes I guess that happens sometimes this is so sad so sad of course he would earthquake I got too cocky I got too cocky and it cost me everything it cost me everything oh my gosh this is all say it oh well we can go for a ship of course next anyway or is that a shadow that might be a shadow that's a shadow that's a shadow but we can go for a ship of course next and we'll be fine oh now we're getting stunned you'd love to see it thank you game appreciate you appreciate you okay maybe the ancestor did help a little bit okay maybe maybe the ancestors kind of good maybe just maybe have you guys ever found it weird that both Frost Giant and Storm Lord both seven pip spells stun what's with that what's with that and why does every every school accept balance death and life get a stun I don't understand that either because actually technically technically balance have a sun in the form of canette but it's I think that's what the spell is but it's like an item card on a pet so doesn't really count but why does it why does all of the other schools accept balance life and death especially balance why doesn't balance have a stun like why don't they why don't they have a son it's done like they should they should if they're they're a mixture of everything they should be able to stun people you know like they just should be able to it just makes sense but then everyone has a doll but not everyone has a stun how does that work how does how does that work you know I never quite understood that never quite understood that it just seems a bit weird a bit weird right crits blade goodbye goodbye Kaplan also the other issue with stuns is why even have them in the game if every single boss after Dragon Spire even some in Dragon Spire a stun you have it one Alice of the steps and gaze upon their own eternal in all his glory try not to go blind I stare down the aquilins on their mountain I think I can manage a shiny horse and yet you were crushed once near iron not even iron is stronger than gold gold is weak so like you know that would make sense to me I think it's a bit counterproductive for him personally dropped another rope when we need to go back down iron don't worry about that tongue off just likes to talk so let's go shut them up say less say less bestie say less say less I'm right gold is a very soft metal it's very malleable whereas iron is a little bit more tougher right so you know that would make sense the sacrifices gaze upon the resplendence the effulgence the glorious shininess of Tungak the infinite we get it you have an ego of will it demanded and the heavens obeyed it spoke to the stone and it heard me saw me knew me changed me it bent to my will became my instrument of conquest and turn me into a being that transcends all magics that will just be more impressive when we beat you man he's a little bit angry move is angry um right okay so he does cheat he has he will say a thing when he cast one of the following shadow spells a 1500 absorb damage shield or a both of these are protected or a plus 500 flight damage charm so really fun really exciting and then on a on a round he will cast guardian spirit on himself because you know of course he will of course he would usually when someone says that immense bull they are not so true so true I feel like we need to go for something different here I feel like I need a good strategy because I feel I feel like I've just been doing the same thing over and over and over again and you know that's kind of boring whereas on my fire it was quite fun because we were just melting people and I loved that that was really fun and cool but I don't know I don't know how to what I should do on this character um maybe we just carry on with how we're going it's work so far work so far is there a better spell that we could use though something that'll do more damage in case we have to maybe not let's just put another reshuffle I just feel like I'm not gonna kill maybe that's just me I don't know I don't know we should be fine we'll find out soon at least it's just golden tongue he's pretty easy to deal with my armory is infinite he's putting up a shield cute cute cute cute I love his shield that I can just not care about it's pretty cool really cool and good I love it I really love it what is this oh my gosh okay jeez preparing for fighting yikes yakers we'll go for this my armory isn't he's blading cute or shielding shielding again okay nice nice nice nice nice nice he just doesn't want to die I get it you know we've all been there buddy we've all been there not everyone wants to die does he know in feeble no he doesn't this doesn't lock damage it's got up 100% PS which sucks no he can't remove my blades which is great which is really great why do I have an odd number of these oh wait no don't worry that hasn't been enchanted it just already has no PvP because you can't I get it now I get it makes sense another shield wow crazy absolutely crazy amazing we will hit with the scarecrow necks should do a decent amount of damage we can always follow up with a grim reader as well just kidding we're not heading with the scarecrow necks because we're stunned of course of course we're stunned it just makes sense makes sense here makes absolute sense good job good job cool we will enchant this we'll do this just just because we can just because we can this is a shield he's got so many shields oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh stormzilla what is this stormzilla this is a gambit stormzilla three negative three weaknesses on me for a hill over time for three rounds and then 650 damage this is a cool spell I like the spell it's kind of kind of quirky but kind of cool this is gonna hurt 404 damage not found gained ice pip no don't gain ice pip haha no don't do that don't do that he gained an ice pip this is so sad so sad right this should hopefully kill at least the minion get us a lot of health back so we'd nearly be full and if we're lucky kill the boss as well but I don't know about that one I don't know about that one yet not even close that's fine it's fine we're back to full health which is good back to full health we kill it to the minion we can just go for a grim reader and kill the boss even my even the ancestors are mine to control okay cute cute easy clap let's quickly go for one of these change to balance just in case go for one of these the only problem with grim reader is it's kind of bad because of all of the shield all of the shield so let's kill him get rid of his guardian spirit real fast and then cry that's the plan here 3000 ice he's dead love to see it love to see it oh sweet that actually gets rid of all of his shields I like that I like that a lot cool cool cool cool cool cool please blade blade blade blade blade blade yes okay this is great this is great this is great this is fantastic this is goaded absolutely goaded please blade again blade again I know you want to I know you want to blade just blade do it do it do it do it do it do it do it yes what a great move oh my gosh he just played himself he played right into my trap I don't actually know if this kills with no blades or nothing we'll find out we will find out not a hundred percent sure if it does it does gg easy invincible huh they lied to me the heavens lied I am not blessed I am cursed this stone wills my defeat so now what do you finish me attempting but I think instead you will make a better gift for the emperor what greater shame that it'll live out your days a trophy for mooshu better than what awaits you there is something darker here yet the servants of the manticore wait and they watch and they will devour you I've been devoured by a manticore manticore severely regretted it wizard I'll secure him for transport to catmandu there we can arrange a new caravan to the jade palace meet you outside okay doki we did it that wasn't too bad I was worried for nothing worried for no reason super easy super duper easy wizard find me here open my eyes reveal to me myself I am here it is good to see you again wizard apologies for my silence I have not been myself not completely indeed it seems I have been split into several shards several frames of mine each frame is an impulse an unconscious fragment of myself and each seems to innately reflect the peoples who inhabit its shard see this frame on the stone of heaven as you call it turned ton ox toxic dreams into reality but it was reflex I didn't do it consciously I wanted to join the spiral to become a new thing in the everything I blended shapes and magic to create what I wanted to be something for everyone I think this is why the world synthesizer fragmented me so everyone wants something different and in this fragmented state I am weakened I feel the other shards but I can't see or control them they are contorted by contradictory whims and thus I am twisted into incompatible shapes these exertions are straining me these quiet tensions cause stress which manifests as creatures monsters enemies help me expand my frame of mind open frames on other shards to connect me to myself strengthening me mind and body to deny evil wants I wish to join the everything wizard but right now the everything is tearing me apart please help me wizard you okay I took tongue back to Kathmandu and returned to find you staring blankly at this thing also the sky changed seemed to be more of those breaches tongue was using to attack Kathmandu but they're looking toward conidus what happened frame of mind huh and now you need to find more maybe the people in conidus can guide you there wish I could help but Kathmandu's in rough shape I think I need to help them rebuild as they would say our strings disentangle here unless you want to come down and lend a hand otherwise thank you wizard for showing an old warrior there are still adventures to be had wow so much lore I've just realized that him changing like his shape at all of the people that he has consumed as to nothing I've only just realized that now maybe I'm a bit slow but I only just realized that wizard you must help me Marley bone Polaris Monquista and Valencia have all gathered in that large tent to discuss permanent settlement I don't care about Kathmandu I mean I do care of course I care I've no doubt Mubu can handle it we have to save the settlers of novice like I told you before this world is a trap it leeches off them absorbs them becomes them you spoke to it what did it say they are dividing it causing it stress which leads to creatures like orcs what monsters will it create if stress turns into rage quickly we must warn the spiral powers of the danger to the conference tent um hi saucy no I haven't I haven't seen that but that is a cool idea that I tried out a wee while ago um but yeah hi doge welcome you just noticed that too I have always found it weird that he only changes into things that we saw in caramel and not anything in Lemuria and then it's just come to me now that it's because those are the things that he has consumed which makes sense um this is the tent this is the tent I didn't do it with commands I did it with poles but it was it was pretty cool this is tiger again you deal with a right I've had my feel of apocalyptic rhetoric for one day very well in the name of the free people's republic of pink winonia shining jewel of pullery I hereby order you to scoot but that is what I am saying we must all can't you hear it scream my friends allow me in valencia we have a most effective method for resolving all disputes of this nature arm yourselves for now we do I love how the monkey just doesn't get to speak quite sad really quite sad um yeah right let us destroy these guys real fast and by real fast I mean frenzy and kill could be good unless they decide to do shenanigans and start you know taking my blades away even though I don't have any stunning me what else could they do ice is fine probably just stuns it's probably the worst but that could happen stuns are the worst that could happen so I think we should be fine that is a shield it's only 50 so we should be okay we should be okay to kill should be fine hopefully RPS should be enough theoretically these guys do all resist though so we'll see we'll see 15 but still go oh we boost don't worry then don't worry this is all good easy easy peasy we did it nice goodbye feel well and this matter is now a set what is it precisely we were settling yes of course carry on bring your portents inside I say sir really they won the door my hands are tied go on now into the tent still no monkeys didn't speak so sad no one lost monkeys so it's tragic we're about to level up as well which is really cool you demand that we pay you taxes to set to the lands that have appeared in our skies absurd the skies are immaterial what matters is who got there first our forces braved storms and lay lines while yours huddled in fear we left flags flags are not illegally binding and now contracts yes a paper is immutable paper with the names are written on it that's a true a law indeed and we have signed no such paper thus the marliabonian claim is rejected you have no authority nor do you not over us not over the valencians not over the groves of the exalted banana our presence is clearly a sacred mandate yours but ego stop this I too serve a sacred order and I have connections few can understand you must trust me when I say this world is angry tell them wizard and this design is imprinted by our desires fascinating if each shard manifests a different empire this conflict must be quite stressing no superstitious drivel let us be civilized or at least as much as you lot can manage and it gets no more civilized than first come first served mighty valencia serves a no one earn the you have an assaulted our honor even hear the part about conflict causing the world stress whoa Dylan that spoilers oh my gosh geez you can't be doing these spoilery things oh my gosh oh my gosh and if I'm being honest not the best sculptures I've seen sir surely you do not insult the majesty of valencian stonework insulted he has and such a insults a cannot stand into re-addling a tent did you notice friends the ground shook is you and they're already inside the tent great yep it's just perfect now for the tantrum now you right so wizard I gave it some thought and I believe there may be merit to your theory about conflict creating stress and monsters um let me just quickly check this real fast um right so we need to carry some bubbles bubbles like this and this um how did I do this on my fire I don't even remember how I did this on my fire all I know is I struggled on my death in test room like really struggled actually we can just go for a massive grim reader or sign on let's go for a grim reader and then we've got other stuff to follow up with what we need to we'll see this um we'll do that we will discard both of those just for now just for now dark packs oh yeah that probably would have been a good idea he can probably weakness hey he can yeah oh well it's fine it's fine he's gonna he's gonna remove them when he uses um gravestorm anyway so it's okay it's okay don't even worry about it don't even worry we got this we got this this is fine perfectly fine perfectly perfectly fine oh that's fine it's okay it's okay he can only use this that is the only self that he can use so we should be okay right only five more levels until you start the grind for dark mogia oh exciting it is a grind it is a big grind that is for sure that is for sure but good luck when you get there good luck see told you told you he would use them when he uses gravestorm and of course he would do that when i go for a cleanse typical typical typical typical oh well it's fine it's fine just waste around that's okay though is okay um sweet we're gonna keep this up as long as possible we're gonna just cut that we're gonna go for a frenzy real fast it's my first time so i'm excited grand is it worth that to use crowns on the chairs to get armor quicker um that's up to you that's up to you i don't make those decisions for people that's something you can decide and only you can decide yeah um what's funny is he didn't if he didn't have gravestorm on testrum i'm glad they gave it to him for life but did he not oh wow yeah him having gravestorm is quite good it's quite good because it does literally just remove remove that we're gonna go for this i really want him to use it again he does have a storm but so i'm kind of optimistic that he will do that which is good i love that he has gravestorm because he can't actually use his blades but he just gets rid of his weaknesses which is really cool really really cool um we will discard that one discard that i really want a another blade really want another blade he's gonna gravestorm right now just kidding he's gonna weakness that's fine that's fine we have to only have two weaknesses up because if he does gravestorm it only gets rid of two so it's probably just as why we did that um there's a blade but not a blade that i want we're gonna waste our wasting our frenzy yeah we're gonna waste our frenzy real fast that's fine it's okay it's okay here the storm and life spell ah okay the tea cup let's go oh no yeah the tea cup now he has he doesn't even have that one he has star spawn and gravestorm now i think i might have put in too many bubbles kind of screwing with me kind of screwing with me oopsie doopsie um gravestorm scarecrow okay fair fair enough fair enough is fine is perfectly fine right we'll get rid of the weakness hopefully we'll get an enchant for our blade we do lovely right so we should be able to hit next is the plan is the plan as long as he doesn't change his bubble which is i just did the wrong spell i'm an idiot i'm an idiot haha yep that's me idiot idiot idiot guy love to say it i'm just so used to clicking on scarecrow so used to just seeing scarecrow clicking on scarecrow yeah that's cool he does only have 45% resist so it's not too bad um we can get through most of it with ps anyway he does also have a brace at the moment though so we're just gonna pass and wait for his brace to run out yeah at least i'm full health i mean i didn't have much health gone anyway but it's fine it's fine it would have been a great grim reader slight misplay on my behalf but that's fine it's okay we did a decent amount of damage um his brace is gone we will do he can technically go for it we'll do this first because he can technically okay of course he would do that of course should i wait to harvest my couch potatoes until they out all harvest at mature you can do both if you harvest it mature you can still harvest them when they get outer they just continue growing so if you want more i don't know what they drop at mature they only drop their mega snacks i believe at elder but um you can get golden stuff at mature which is quite nice uh that's unfortunate hold up that's really unfortunate when you change the bubble because of course he would do the bubble just as i get there oh my gosh it's the cursed egg the cursed egg it's such a weird spell you know not great not great at all right we'll get rid of that we need to um go for a reshuffle which we will do now because we need some bubbles hopefully we get one right away that would be good kablam we do lovely we'll cleanse then we'll go for a bubble and then we'll hit that is the plan is the plan that is a nasty little nasty little weakness there's no there's no harm at harvesting at mature like if you're wondering like would they just um like stop they don't stop growing you can still harvest them so yeah see i knew he would do this i knew he would do this eventually i just had to wait a bit just had to wait a bit okay right goodbye weakness lovely we'll do this we will go for a bubble and then her and hopefully he doesn't shoot me now that i've said it though he's going to do to me 100 it's going to happen just kidding this is a brace lovely all the drops are so much better out of they don't drop anything good at mature yeah that is true but you can still harvest them why would you do this stop stop changing bubble dude seriously stop stop it get some help get some help dude um also let's just change back to death real fast what is with this dude oh my gosh okay now you spam this make sense make sense make sense kablam slowly gaining health right don't change it don't do it don't do it don't good little tantrum good little tantrum right this should kill hopefully hopefully this kills that would be good and you get the seed back after a mature harvest right i thought i read this i went no you get the seed back off the outer harvest yeah the couch potatoes you get the seed back evil magma peas you get the seed back king parsley as you get the seed back pink dandelions you get the seed back uh i find about to be sure but i suppose we kind of have such a stress of creatures that popping up with every disagreement no no that would get rather cumbersome the little irk things already scurrying about new vikorgia are difficult enough fortunately i have a solution even you lot can appreciate let's us discuss it with the others come along now kiroki welcome as a representative of the great empire of marley bone i have graciously elected not to pursue territorial rights for the time being yes how very gracious of you all it took us a little earthquake to make you see a reason until we can find a peaceful manner through which to solidify our rightful claim it seems unwise to make waves as it were so you now know how dangerous how angry this place is it bleeds dress monsters onto your streets you must all leave it to rot in the sky as long as we don't fight ours to blend and now if this is a settled i must prepare for our in matters that are beyond you you are but animus playing with a lightning rod and it will burn you all wizard might i ever word i do not think we have been properly introduced citizen maxine rojo pierre hero of la resistance and leader of the new bolari but technically red rosa heads the citizen's assembly ma'am quiet you you go let's go fuss between a spit at your name but the wizard now there is a name respected in the bolari so when you say this world this design create a lens in our image and for our use i listen come with me to ashore do we there is a problem for which i think you are uniquely suited come come you too your gargantuan lomax your blocker of the sun you right what a perfect way to end off with today um next time we'll head into la villa rose uh we're gonna level up next time as well which is really exciting actually let's head in there and live a lot first then we get at least one level and we can feel happy about that it can be like we actually did something today we'll do that real quick and then we'll finish off for today a silent future wall of it's oh my gosh so true though it's so true behold wizard la vir a floating paradise of a penguin onia this is a world without kings or stars a land of the citizens free of rossks a land that's starving ma'am silence your future wall ornament your mercenary swine you servant of the old stars but we we have a slight starvation problem we were propelled here you see via cannons the ping occupied elsewhere food sometimes comes the same way and it sometimes oh mrs there is of course miran fish but well they have shoes nobody wants to eat fish with shoes it fits with shoes even edible i don't know also they bite go on see for yourself okay right there we go we leveled up epic level 155 155 nearly 160 very cool that is all for today um thank you for watching i'll be back later with another stream um probably in a few hours and we'll be doing some more um 30 days and this is what i want so yeah that'll be cool but yeah otherwise thank you for watching hope you enjoyed smash like subscribe if you want to and as always

Is there any significance to the clay that Jesus spit on to heal the blind man? He had just left the temple on a Sabbath when he healed the man so being in Jerusalem He was on God's turf his portion on Jacob. Was this another message slight to the powers and principalities of a heavenly spiritual nature that they got and we didn't I Understand that Jesus you spit other times to heal people and I understand the Levitical law about spit But do you know if there is any deeper meaning to the fact he used the dirt clay of Jerusalem to mix with his spit to perform the healing? Well, if there is it would be pretty oblique and You'll understand that by the time I get to the end of the answer on the one hand I don't think there's anything clearly going on here with cosmic geography because there's no indication that the blindness was caused By the powers of darkness if you had that element in there, then I could see again some sort of cosmic geographical Sign or confrontation here, but we don't have that again the Old Testament Comments about saliva in the Old Testament It could saliva could convey ritual Uncleanness if the person spitting had been unclean if they were in an unclean status that person spit would render in theory someone else Unclean so the verse for that is Leviticus 15 8 for example If the one with the discharge spits on someone who is clean then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself so on and so forth So it could render someone unclean That's interesting because the unclean status typically takes the discussion into Let me rephrase that put it this way some scholars see a parallel to this It's gonna sound odd, but they see a parallel to this with when Jesus heals the leper You recall leprosy obviously you can't touch a leper because then you become unclean and so when Jesus does this You know he he's asked by the leper if you will you can heal me and Jesus says yes I'm willing to do that and he touches the leper and heals him So on the one hand when Jesus does does this it kind of renders the uncleanness point moot because as soon as he touches The guy he's healed so he's not really is he really in contact with an unclean person or not No, it looks clean to me. So some people think that that because spit is Referenced in Leviticus as possibly rendering someone unclean that when Jesus use it the teaching point of both that and the leper Is really the same in other words that that Jesus is a higher authority Than the normal priests, you know who would be using mosaic law to determine whether you should or shouldn't do something like that So by using saliva to cure the man or by touching the leper Jesus is presented or is presenting himself as someone having some sort of Unusual or inordinate spiritual authority because it basically amounts to Jesus saying look I'm unaffected By these Levitical taboos I transcend them And watch because I'm going to do this act and sort of the question becomes moot because this person is healed now Now that that's possible again scholars go there Because they're looking for a parallel to the this unusual incident with the using of the spit Then they find Leviticus 15 and then they start thinking well, maybe this is kind of like the leprosy incident It's possible. I don't I don't think it's that strong of a connection But I think it's on the table saliva of course was regarded by some rabbis as Having healing properties in other words if the spit of a person who wasn't done clean is a different matter And you can actually find in rabbinic tradition References to saliva being an agent of healing. I'm just going to give the abbreviation BAT 126b I can't remember what what that stands for in the Talmud But it says this the saliva of the firstborn of a father heals Specifically diseases of the eye, but the saliva of the firstborn of the mother does not heal Can assist a rabbinic opinion, but it shows you know that that that some at least some Jews were thinking that okay They had it had healing properties now the interesting part of this is that it's the firstborn of a father And so is Jesus doing this? Because of this Jewish notion that the firstborn in his case of the father Which of course he has claimed for himself is a healer which of course would be associated with the Messiah And so does this act so I kind of reinforce his messianic status and his claim to be the son of God Okay, again, I think that's on the table. I think it's possible on the other hand You'll get other rabbis that condemned saliva because pagans often you know use saliva in their healing rituals And so some of the rabbis were skittish over it rabbi Akiba has a famous Sentence about this that we shouldn't you know, you shouldn't be doing this So, you know, who really knows now? I think there's a more interesting parallel more interesting sort of backdrop to this Other than this he set of possibilities. There was a recent article. This is 2013 so it's it's just in the last couple years in journal biblical literature where somebody the author happened to notice That they're the spit language is actually in a few Dead Sea scroll texts And the article if I can't again, it's not something I can post Because it's not public domain But the article essentially I'll just give you the gist of it There's a there was an old interpretation of this passage John 9 with the spit from Irenaeus our buddy Irenaeus and like I said, I like him because he thinks outside the box a lot But Irenaeus taught that Jesus use of clay the spit You know that to form the clay to heal the manborn blind alluded to God's use of dust Or dirt in the creation account in Genesis 2 you know where he creates Adam from the dust to the ground now That there are a lot of scholars who didn't buy that because hey, it's it's dust It's not it's not clay, you know, it just didn't feel right Well, this article actually defends the idea using the Dead Sea scroll So Irenaeus gets defended here and what it amounts to I'll just quote a few excerpts from from the article It both spittle and clay are Similarly juxtaposed in several Dead Sea scrolls in the context of the creation of humankind Suggesting that John and the authors of these scrolls may have been drawing on a shared tradition that understood both elements as Materials of creation now, it's important to keep in mind. This is me talking now that ancient Near Eastern You know creation stories and myths also use spit and dirt and things like this So it well when you go back into the Israelite context These elements are part of the story that the main reason back to the article here now This is another quotation the chief reason scholars have been hesitant to see an allusion to Genesis in John 9 6 you Jesus act of spitting and creating the clay is that Whereas it is dust Hebrew the Hebrew term there is afar out of which God creates Adam and Genesis 2 7 Jesus uses clay, which is a different Hebrew term came are now What's interesting here is dust gets translated in in Greek in Septuagint New Testament as coos the word is coos and mud the clay is Palos Palos is also used by the Septuagint in the Old Testament passages Where God is described as a potter Remember the potter in the clay thing the Old Testament casting God is the As the potter you know who molds the clay and and that's associated in certain contexts certain Instances when this language is used with creation so you actually do have Old Testament precedent for clay talk in Terms of you know with respect to the creation account and not just dust talk is what this amounts to now The two Dead Sea Scrolls of the article it actually refers to more than this But I'll give you I'll give you two examples of what this author is trying Basically, how he's defending iron AS and defending this view from the Dead Sea Scrolls One of them is the rule of the community, which is 1 qs for you kumran fans out there This would be column 11 lines 21 and 22 says as what shall one born of a woman be considered in your presence? Question shape from dust has he been? Okay, so one born from a woman, which is human humankind No as was what shall humankind be considered in your presence shape from dust has he been Maggots food shall be his dwelling. He is spat saliva molded clay and For dust is his longing. What will what will the clay reply and The one shape by hand and what advice will he be able to understand? So it's a clear reference to humanity being formed not just from the dust of the ground but Spit and clay right here in this in this scroll text another example as it comes from the Thanksgiving hymns That's one qh Specifically in this instance one qha column 20 says what is he to do that he who returns to his dust? I have kept my silence for what can I say about this matter in accordance with my knowledge? I spoke spat saliva one fashion from clay Again, it's kind of an awkward Translation or an awkward text, but it's another clear reference to the one returning to the dust which would be humankind and At the end of the line that that humanity is identified with spat saliva and being fashioned from clay So if this is the backdrop and again, this is second temple material if this is the backdrop to John 9 And I actually think there's a better chance of this being the backdrop than the rabbinic material frankly because the Rabbinic material is later it might refer to some attitude During Jesus time it may or may not we can't really be sure but with second temple material We you know we can be sure of of the greater potential. There's a greater potential for cross fertilization here But if this is the backdrop this idea of associating the Spit and the dirt forming clay and it's an illusion to creation That's really interesting because then this whole incident in John 9 would be casting Jesus as at least Having power over the physical world as the Creator did or Even as the Creator in the words it cast Jesus it puts Jesus pardon the pun in that mold So that when people would read this or hear the story or witness it their mind would be taken back to Something that the potter did the Creator did and here you have Jesus doing it So it's a way to telegraph and John is really, you know, well known again for connecting Jesus to Old Testament To Yahweh of the Old Testament. He John is very well known the gospel again for Really strong statements of deity and so this I think could be added to the list Based on the association with the Creator with the potter who who molds the claim


Ginko biloba is one of the most commonly used brainotropics. But why do more recently developed brain supplements rarely contain it? Well, let's find out. Hey, what's up? Brack here, the founder of your own inception. Welcome to my channel. If you want to achieve limitless performance, then subscribe below to start a journey. Today we're going to talk about Ginko biloba. Now Ginko biloba is a tree native to China that has been grown for thousands and thousands of years for its many benefits that this tree and the extract bring. Now seeds and leaves of this tree has been used for many years because of different benefits and especially in the traditional Chinese medicine. However, most studies were done on the extract of Ginko biloba. And that's what we're going to talk about today. We're going to look at the benefits of using Ginko biloba extract. We're going to look at the side effects, the recombined dosage and at the end of the video I'm going to tell you if I recombined it or not. So if you're ready, let's just begin. Oh, by the way, first question guys for you, have you ever tried Ginko biloba? And if yes, did you experience any kind of benefits? Let me know in the comment section below. So the first benefit is that using Ginko biloba can reduce symptoms of dementia and mild Alzheimer's disease. There have been many studies done where people were given a supplement of Ginko biloba combined with more conventional medicine. And whenever these two were combined, the benefits were obvious and the symptoms were improved, especially when Ginko was used for a longer period for about 22 to 24 weeks. So based on those studies, people that have mild Alzheimer's disease were often given a supplement of Ginko biloba. Another benefit of using Ginko biloba is that it can improve brain function and mental performance. However, most studies that were done and showed the correlation there were mostly done on elderly people. And secondly, what I found out based on the studies that were done is that Ginko biloba cannot really improve memory. It cannot really improve attention or even executive functions. So again, it seems that Ginko biloba is more effective on elderly people that are already in this stage of cognitive decline. Whereas it's not as effective for younger people. Another benefit of Ginko biloba is that it contains many antioxidants and because of that, it's very great for fighting inflammation, for reducing the symptoms of anxiety and depression, for supporting your eye health and it can even reduce PMS symptoms. And last but not least, Ginko biloba can improve short-term memory in elderly and even slow down cognitive decline. So as you can see, Ginko biloba is very effective for especially elderly people, but not as effective for younger people who search for a cognitive boost, who search for compounds that could help them improve their memory-focused attention. By the way guys, I revealed 13 hacks that will show you how you can quickly boost your energy levels. To get them, download my free handbook below. So if you decided to try Ginko biloba, what's the recommend daily dosage? So based on the studies that I found, the recommend daily dosage for slowing down cognitive decline is somewhere between 40 to 120 milligrams per day, taking up to three times. However, if you want to boost your cognitive performance just before the event, then simply take a bit higher dosage somewhere between 120 milligrams to 240 milligrams prior, like one hour prior to the event. So if you're taking exam or if you have a very cognitive demanding project before it happens, just take a bit higher dosage. Now if you're going to take Ginko biloba as an individual compound, you're going to find it probably in a bit higher dosage. Just if you, however, you're going to take it as a part of more advanced brain supplement or brain natropic stack, then you can expect a bit lower dosage of Ginko biloba because those advanced stacks usually contain other, more effective natropics combined and you don't really need such a high dosage of Ginko biloba. If you want to check one of my favorite supplements that does contain Ginko biloba, you can check the video up there and have a look. By the way guys, if you like this video, please press the like button below. I'll be super happy about it. So how about the side effects? Well, Ginko biloba is generally a very safe supplement based on the research that I've done. However, if you're overdosed or if you're allergic to it, then you can, of course, experience different kind of side effects such as dizziness, headache, stomach pain and that kind of stuff. I always recommend consulting your doctor before you take or experiment with any kind of natropics and the same is true for Ginko. Also be careful if you take any kind of drugs such as blood thinners like aspirin, for example, if you take any kind of antidepressants or other strong medication. In this case, again, do consult a doctor just to be on the safe side. So the final question is, should you supplement Ginko biloba or not? Well, if you're older than 50 years, if you are in the midst of cognitive decline, if you suffer from the dementia, then I think, yes, do consult your doctor, find the optimal dose, then combine it with other conventional medicine. And based on the studies, I think you'll see some benefits when supplementing it. Would I take it as an individual compound? Probably not because the studies are not that strong and they're better, more effective than tropics on the market. But if you find it as a part of more complex brain supplement for improving your cognitive performance, for improving your memory, focus on that kind of stuff, then of course, I think Ginko biloba can be beneficial. But yes, it needs to be combined with other effective natropics to get the best benefits. And that's my final conclusion. Thank you for watching this video, guys.
