What's up everybody I'm the Mangus, you were awesome and we finally got our first look at one of the flying sky junglers of ethereal, Leia, Era of the Jungle. Right off the bat the video production quality of this one was a step up from the others, they kept Leia in frame throughout the lore portion of the spotlight and provided several very good angles of her character model. They also dispensed with all the diagonal white transitions and that made everything look much cleaner and more professional. However, there were some visual glitches and anomalies that needed ironed out, and dying themselves warned us that the second ability doesn't look like it's supposed to, and we'll get an upgraded video for that when it's fixed. The rest I'll talk about later on. My first overall impression of Leia after seeing her abilities and especially her passive is that she'll function a lot like Crunch from Paragon, but with wings. Add a dash of Sareth in there and you've got Leia. Her arc types are Disruptor and Diver meaning she'll pack some CC and have the ability to get into the backline. I mean, she flies so imagine any Sky Slayer will be able to get into the backline pretty easy, but she does have some ground combat abilities that will let her get into the squishy targets fairly easily without having to dive them from the air. Before I get into her abilities I want to talk about the flight a bit. She goes high, like really high. I was expecting something like being able to skim the treetops and fly over to the elevated side lanes, but she's freaking up there. I kind of wonder if she'll have vision of the enemy team like that. Seems a little busted when you have Dante with his Global Snipe Ultimate and a Sky Slayer just hovering above spotting for him. The wing flap animation is good, but it kind of looks like she's posed under the wings. You don't see her weapon or legs move at all. I guess we'll find out more about what she looks like when we get the player. Now the abilities, starting with the passive. Wisdom of Yahime is much like Crunch's passive in Paragon. You get a stack when you cast an ability. After four stacks your next ability is empowered in some way. I love the hell out of Crunch, so I'm sure I'll love Leia. Leia's special ability is Tailwind, using this speeds you up a lot. But the downside is that you take increased damage across the board. Out of all the risk-reward abilities this one seems to be the most balanced upon first glance. They didn't mention if this works well in flight, but I'm guessing it will. That's just my hypothesis, nothing official. Her first basic ability is Galebound Thrust. You poke with your trident and then some wind shoots out. The trident deals one instance of damage and the wind deals another, but you can't hit someone with both the trident and the wind. Empowering this ability with Wisdom causes it to echo for reduced damage. I'm guessing this will be her left crunch, the most damaging ability to empower. Also of note, this was a welcome surprise for me, but we get Grognarch as her opponent. Grog is a berserker that is slated for the pre-alpha, however he isn't going to be in the initial seven myths that are released. Undying has stated that he's pretty big and while he doesn't look much taller than Leia here, he is hunched over on all fours. If he stood up, he would tower over pretty much any other myth we've seen. Her second ability is Sacred Plumage. This is the one that was bugged and looks pretty bad. Not as bad as they made it out to be, but it does need fixed.  Wisdom will cause the ability to heal yourself and any allies within the cone with the heal becoming stronger per enemy hit. It really doesn't look that bad from the side, but that overhead view, it is pretty wonky. I don't think that just this ability will make Leia into a support or anything with the heal aspect of it, but wise usage of the empowered cast may make the difference in a team fight. See what I did there, wise usage. The third ability is Crashing Dive. This functions much like Sarath's Ascend. You leap into the air, hover a bit, then choose where you come down. When you land, you deal AoE damage and knock people up. Empowering this ability causes you to dive faster and gain a shield per enemy hit. This looks way too slow as it is. I wasn't sure that it's going to be sped up, but the normal and empowered version. The animation kinda looks bad, but I think it's mainly because it's so slow. I checked Sarath's animation for Ascend in the Unreal Engine and she really didn't have much special going on with her dive animation, but it looked far more impactful than this. I believe the difference is the speed of the dive and the particle effects of the landing. A few minor tweaks and this will be one hell of a cool ability, especially if you can cast it from the air. Gameplay wise, I think good usage of this ability is going to be her bread and butter for engage or peel. It always does the knock up, empowered or not, so no need to try and set it up. You do get the shielding when it's empowered though, so that'll make for a great engage tool. Her ultimate is Windstorm.  Enemies hit by the return are pulled towards Leia. You can reactivate this at any time to make it return early. No empowering this one, but it seems like it's already powerful enough.  Damage, two forms of CC and it's huge. I hope this has a long cooldown because it's going to make fighting against Leia a nightmare. The next part is her flight and suggested items. I've already covered the flight. My only problems here are the quick dip to black transitions that they make. It makes it look like the video is cutting out and you can see some visual glitches with her in the background. Her back animation with the Desert Queenskin is pretty cool and the Desert Queenskin itself is freaking awesome. Overall, I'm really impressed with Leia. She looks to have an incredibly fun kit even without the ability to fly around. She looks really good, minus a few things here and there, and dying seems to be improving at their video editing which is nice to see. It was also great to see them telling us straight up that they had some problems with their second ability and were going to be fixing it. While nothing will ever keep me away from my waifu, Malaya or my side piece Marina, the spotlight did a lot towards making me want to give Leia a try. Let me know in the comments below what you thought of Leia's spotlight like the video if you enjoyed it. Sub for more ethereal content, but for now this is the Mangoo signing off, you guys have a good one. Mangoo!

Ukrainian army continues to knock out the Russians from positions in Tavriya. Alexander Tarnavsky, commander of the Tavriya grouping of troops, said that the defense forces continue to push the Russian occupiers out of their positions. He noted that over the past day in this direction, the enemy lost almost four companies of soldiers killed and wounded. Also, 56 units of military equipment of the occupiers were destroyed and damaged. This includes nine tanks, nine infantry fighting vehicles, two armoured multi-purpose transporters, two Howitzers 2S19, MSTAS, a self-propelled artillery mount, two S3 Acacia self-propelled artillery installation, two S5 Hyacinth, anti-aircraft missile system, Strella 10, multiple launch rocket systems, Urakhan, three sets of radio-electronic jamming, Gitel, electronic warfare system, Hole 2, Kamikazi drone Shahad 136, two armoured vehicles, Tiger. Over the past day, Ukrainian forces destroyed six warehouses with ammunition of the invaders in the Tavriya direction. On June 12, 2023, the Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of seven settlements in the southern direction Lobkovo, Levarnoy, Novodarovka, Neskuchnoy, Storozhevo, Makarovka, Blahodatnoy. On June 14, the Ministry of Defense reported that the armed forces of Ukraine were advancing in the direction of Burdiansk and Mariupol. There was an advance, but heavy battles were being waged.


Most of us are familiar with the traditional role of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. They are designers, architects, and builders of logistical facilities. They establish forward airstrips, bunkers, and other fortifications. They clear enemy jungle hideouts, provide bridges and other stream crossing facilities. The engineers move with the American fighting man to help him go where he has to go, do what he has to do. Army engineers are also engaged in a number of research and engineering programs that are perhaps lesser known but equally important. On today's big picture, you will see some of the operations in two of these areas. The rivers and harbor studies, which provide valuable information for flood control and for best use of the nation's waterways. And the Army Nuclear Power Program, a significant development in the search for greater and more available power for military needs. Periodically around the world, there is tremendous damage and widespread loss of life when waterways overflow banks, dams, and levees. Many countries' social and economic disruption from this kind of natural disaster is usually devastating. In our own country, it is now possible to reduce some of the tragic losses caused by flood, thanks to constant research and development by U.S. Army engineers. This miniature river system at the Army Engineers Waterways Experiment Station near Jackson, Mississippi is not a child's toy, although you might consider this man a modern gulliver. He is one of the scientists at the station engaged in a research project which makes use of the largest miniature working model in existence. Covering 200 acres, the model, built to scale proportions, represents the Mississippi River and its tributaries. It is designed to aid in planning for the control and development of water resources in the mid-continent, which takes in almost a third of the nation. The need for a hydraulic engineering facility to analyze the movement of water and its effect on river banks and channels is evident, especially for the rich and fertile Mississippi River basin. From the earliest westward drive for the pioneers, water and waterways have been the dominant concern of inland America. The Mississippi basin contains many of the nation's greatest agricultural lands. Its river is carry a flourishing commercial trade. Water is needed for industrial use, the movement of river traffic, and the generation of power. The rivers must be regulated and their waters utilized to provide for these needs. At times, however, water is a great liability. When floods descend upon the land, they reap a grim harvest of destruction and tragedy. To help prevent flooding of the land and to develop water resources for essential use is a tremendous undertaking. The Army Corps of Engineers has this responsibility. They've enlarged levees, built thousands of miles of new levees on hundreds of blocks, dams, and reservoirs. Because of the size and number of these waterways' controls, coordinating their operations is a complex and challenging problem. At headquarters of the waterways experiment station in Vicksburg, Mississippi, scientists carry on research in various types of water studies. It was to help implement this research that the Mississippi River basin model was designed. All important streams and adjacent lands which might be flooded are carefully reproduced in concrete at reduced dimensions. Miniature levees and embankments in the flood plain are built, some with removable sections to represent breaches or washouts. Forested areas are simulated by densely folded wire screens. The flow of water in the model corresponds exactly to the actual waterway it represents. Two-and-a-half feet on the model is equivalent to one mile of actual distance. On the miniature, Sioux City and Council Bluffs are about 230 feet apart. The actual distance between the two cities is 90 miles. Time is also telescoped on the model. A 24-hour day is reproduced in slightly over five minutes. A flood which would travel from Sioux City to Omaha in four days will make the trip on the model in only about 20 minutes. To operate the facility manually would require a staff of over 200. Automatic controls have been installed to conserve manpower. The river networks on the model can be operated as a unit or in separate sections. The operation for a given set of conditions is controlled through a device by which holes in a moving strip of paper, much like the rolls of an old-time player piano, actuate valves feeding water into the miniature stream then. A machine similar to a typewriter is used to punch holes in such patterns that the valves may be actuated in proper sequence. Precise records of the rise and fall of the rivers are obtained by electronically controlled probes which follow the fluctuations of the water. This data is transmitted for remote registration in the control houses. Time calendars keep continuous track of the date and hour at the model time scale. With these provisions, it is possible to reproduce any flood of the past or predict with accuracy what might happen under the worst possible future flood conditions. A dramatic example of the importance of the model waterways system took place during the 1952 flood on the Missouri River. With the terrible flood of the previous year still fresh in their memory, residents of the area learned they were to suffer an even greater disaster. A thousand miles behind the scene, the model was quickly adapted to the actual flood situation. With amazing precision, the model predicted critical points on levees, areas in danger of flooding, and other vital information. This was the greatest flood yet recorded on the Missouri River in modern times, an area larger than the state of Texas was underwater. The Missouri River Division Corps of Engineers, drawing on its years of study and experience, had predicted the impending disaster. In cooperation with civil organizations, the engineers mobilized equipment, labor, troops, and trained flood fighting personnel. Levees were reinforced. Those areas which could not be protected were evacuated. Meanwhile, the Waterways Experiment Station had been alerted to prepare the Missouri River section of the model for round the clock operation. This would assist in predicting crest levels. Tests were begun three days before the flood crested at Sioux City, and seven days before it was expected to reach Omaha. Vital data was immediately furnished to the flood area. Quickly delineated the flood limits below Sioux City, and revealed that some towns would be flooded, but certain other towns would escape flooding. The flood plain of North Omaha in the Council Bluffs region is several miles wide, but between the two cities it narrows to a few hundred yards. Flood waters must crowd through this narrow passage. Tests indicated that the water would rise far above the levees and upper reaches of the narrow section. This forewarning gave flood fighters the information they needed to plan their battle. Five days before the expected crest at Omaha, as predicted by the model, flood fighters worked at Fever Pitch, raising and reinforcing the levees which the model had shown to be vulnerable. Omaha and Council Bluffs were saved, and potential damages estimated at more than $60 million were averted. Today our waterways are being managed by man for his own purposes by varied systems of engineering work. Flood stage forecasting is done quickly and more efficiently by computers. Though our mighty rivers are still subject to the whims of nature, their devastating effects can be controlled by man's ingenuity. The Mississippi River Basin model is a key installation in these control systems. As a mechanism into which waterways problems can be felt, and answers produced, this facility of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers works for the welfare of the American people. Solar power gave birth to our Earth. Across millions of miles of space it radiated the heat and light that nourished the Earth's surface and made it flourish. But just as he has long been aware of the truth that solar power gives him life, man has also seen that on the Earth, progress is energized by power, and his constant search for new sources of power and heat has led him to the atom, to nuclear power. From a mass of uranium no bigger than a golf ball, he can provide light and heat for a modern shopping center for one month. For the power package this small, he can derive an energy potential equivalent to 6,000 barrels of diesel oil. This is of great interest to the Army, which uses enormous amounts of conventional bulk fuel for its many power needs. In the early 1950s, Army planners began studying the feasibility of a portable nuclear fuel power plant for battlefield support and for power needs of remote installation. The U.S. Army Engineer Reactors Group was assigned the task of working with the Atomic Energy Commission to develop a mobile reactor power package that could be moved anywhere. The concept of the portable reactor was first tested by Army engineers in 1960 in a very dramatic and very frigid setting. A great ice cap in Greenland was to be the location of the U.S. Army Polar Research and Development Center. Less than 900 miles from the North Pole, Army engineers began planning a city under ice, a camp to be built entirely below the ice cap surface, providing power by conventional fuels with the impractical, especially during the winter months when transportation of bulk fuels would be hazardous. It was decided that a portable nuclear power plant would serve the camp's requirements efficiently. Construction of the camp moved forward as swiftly as weather and the flow of supplies permitted. Using heavy snow equipment to dig excavations, camp sentry as a city under ice was named began to take shape. Working conditions were far from ideal. Temperatures often went to 20 degrees below zero, and this was summer. When a trench was several feet deep, planks were put down on the shoulders of the cut. The planks would be used to support the roof of the camp. Soon the first roofing materials were put into place. Constructed of a series of steel arches, these roofs could be put up very quickly. Inside the completed tunnels, prefabricated and highly insulated wall sections were installed to make up living and working quarters for the personnel assigned to camp sentry. Electric structures were prepared to house the nuclear power plant. In a tunnel close to the surface, Army engineers built a maintenance facility to serve as both repair shop and garage. For the world's first portable nuclear reactor, designated PM2A, arrived at Tuley Greenland in July of 1960. This unit, part of a vapor container, weighed more than 21 tons. A wheeled caravan bearing the reactor components was hauled from Tuley toward the campsite. When the snow line was reached, the load was shifted to sleds for the final lap of the journey. To the ice cap over a route carefully planned by Army engineers to ensure the safety of a valuable cargo. Some components of the portable reactor were shipped in pieces and reassembled before being moved into the underground ice tunnels. The condenser, 15 tons of steel, was one of the first units to be moved into the tunnels. On small track rollers, it was slowly winched forward. Assembly of the nuclear plant was completed in 78 days by the crew which would operate it. For the first time in history, a complete portable nuclear power plant was being ready to serve the needs of the equivalent of a small city without the use of a single ton of coal or barrel of fuel oil. As winter approached, the nuclear plant was ready to begin operations. The reactor, all modern facilities, were immediately available in the city under ice. Except for the fact that they had no windows, the men of Camp Century enjoyed spacious, comfortable quarters. The reactor under ice had ushered in an era of non-weapons use of nuclear power. Now Army engineers began to develop other applications for the portable nuclear reactor. In 1961, the Corps of Engineers, again in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, began the construction of a floating nuclear power plant. This would provide a mobile power source, essentially for Army operations, from offshore anchorage anywhere in the world. The reactor ship could also be used for civilian needs as an emergency power source in disaster situations. At Fort Belvoir, the engineer nuclear reactors group headquarters contracts for the Army's first waterborne nuclear power plant were drawn up. Construction and design features of the hull as the reactor were carefully developed by Army engineers and the civilian contractor. From the mothball fleet of World War II Liberty ships, a vessel was selected for modification into a floating barge. Propulsion equipment was removed and the vessel was towed to a shipyard for the conversion operation. A new midsection was built inside the original hull to provide adequate protection for the reactor in case of collision or grounded. A crash into the barge's midsection of another vessel traveling at 20 knots would still leave a one-foot barrier protecting the reactor area. About 900 tons of concrete bored between the double steel walls provide a shield up to four feet thick. This acts as both a collision barrier and protection for the operating crew when the nuclear reactor is functioning. Tons of polyethylene provide additional protection against radiation. The new double-bodied midsection was launched in April 1964. At a dry dock in Mobile, Alabama, operations began despite the bow and stern retained from the original hull of the Liberty ship. The new floating barge was named the Sturgis, an honor of the late General Samuel D. Sturgis Jr., chief of engineers during the formative years of the Army nuclear power program. Next, the nuclear reactor container had to be moved to the dry dock for installation on the Sturgis. Along the route, power lines had to be temporarily taken down to allow for movement of the huge container. Army engineers planned special support for the roads that would have to bear its tremendous weight. At dark side, preparations have been made to receive the container, which was one of the largest single components ever to be transported over land. Special heavy-duty cranes and rigging equipment were used to position the container in the hold of the Sturgis. Each step in the construction of the barge and its reactor was preceded by model studies, allowing planning personnel to anticipate problems and make modifications if necessary. The reactor assembly was installed in the double-bodied midsection. Tightly sealed in a hull within a hull, the Army's first floating nuclear power plant would soon be ready for testing. Into the reactor core were lowered the fuel elements containing uranium. The elements in the Sturgis reactor can produce enough heat to generate 10,000 kilowatts of electricity enough to provide power needs for a community of 20,000 people for more than a year without refueling. Operation of a power plant by diesel fuel for the same period would require 100,000 barrels. A steam conversion system was installed on the barge. This would utilize the heat derived from the nuclear fuel to produce steam for driving the generator. Operation of the Sturgis power plant was centered in a control room containing instrumentation for the entire complex nuclear and steam systems. Backup controls against failure of any component ensured safe and continuous operations. As the interior construction neared completion, finishing touches were applied to the outside of the Sturgis. Though the Sturgis would have no propulsion equipment of its own and would have to be towed, it was in every other respect to hold the necessary apparatus for its job. The operating crew will not live aboard the vessel, but the midship deck house contains quarters for a 15-man tow crew, a galley, and a recreation room. At last, the 442-foot, 10,000 ton vessel was ready for trial. From its dock and mobile, it began a 22-day journey around the tip of Key West, up the east coast to Chesapeake Bay and into the Potomac River, at Fort Belvoir for several months of controlled testing. Monitored by the Army Nuclear Power Field Office at Belvoir, the tests were begun in the spring of 1966. Equipment performances were matched against the rigid specifications established for the floating nuclear power bars. All systems checked out OK for go. Certified as operational by all military and civilian agencies involved in its development, the MH1A, Nuclear Power Barge Sturges, was towed to sea in the summer of 1968 for its first practical application. Destination, Panama Canal. Assignment to provide supplementary power for operation of the lock and other electrical needs. Increased commercial traffic, due to the closing of the Suez Canal, and additional traffic caused by the war in Vietnam, had taxed the Panama Canal's main water supply in Gatun Lake. 100 million gallons of water on each end of the canal must be moved in and out of the locks in order to raise and lower the ships. Diverted for this use, less water is available to generate power. Add anchor and tied into the electrical complex at Gatun Lake near the first of the canal locks. The Sturges' transmission lines carry electrical power generated by the vessel's nuclear plant to the shore facilities. As part of the power source, the floating nuclear plant is a valuable facility for the Sturges Canal zone. The men who operate the Sturges reactor are graduates of a year-long nuclear power plant operators course which is given at Fort Belvoir. Once assigned aboard the nuclear plant vessel, each man undergoes final training in his specific positions. This ensures the high degree of responsibility essential for safe operation of a nuclear power plant. The Sturges. A dramatic development in the Army's nuclear power program and the world's first floating nuclear power station. Nuclear reactors operated by personnel trained at Fort Belvoir's reactor center have been used to provide light and heat in various military installations, such as the McMurdo Scientific Research Station in Antarctica, where the remote location makes it impossible to bring in large amounts of bulk fuels in winter months. What projects lie ahead for the engineers? This artist's projection of a lunar module for NASA with its own nuclear reactor to provide power for space exploration symbolizes the advanced thinking of today's U.S. Army engineers. Whatever tomorrow's demands for research, development, or construction capabilities, the United States Army Corps of Engineers stands ready to serve the nation.


Hello friends and subscribers, a warm welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here, bringing you this video today from Jerusalem in Israel. This YouTube channel is Jerusalem and Israel unpacked, where we are always unpacking stuff related to Israel, living in Israel and living in Jerusalem, the capital city of Israel, the capital city of the Jewish people and one of the most ancient, continuously inhabited cities in the world. So a few videos ago, I put up a podcast on this channel entitled anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism by another name. And that video, that podcast was just about as popular as I expected, which is to say not very at all with a lot of people at least. And, you know, I got a few interesting comments back that I thought I would address in another video, which I'm going to call the difference between political and religious Zionism. So basically, there was a few comments, but just kind of to give the thrust to the argument, I put up a video saying that Zionism is an integral part of the religion called Judaism, and I cited as proof for that the fact that there are Judaism began in Israel, a large chunk of the commandments which distinguish Judaism as a religion called Mitzvot in Hebrew can only be fulfilled in the land of Israel, which, as I said, was not exactly the same thing as the state of Israel, but close enough that for the sake of simplicity, let's keep them the same. And therefore that Zionism is integral to Judaism and that if you oppose self-determination for the Jewish people and the existence of the state of Israel, which is the fundamental feature of Zionism as an ideology, you are anti-Jewish. And when people say anti-Semitism, it kind of has this connotation of hatred, and I didn't even mean it that way. I just meant that you're in opposition to the Jewish people. So that was my argument and comments in the video are again to just kind of summarize a few of them together. We're kind of like, well, what about the anti-Zionist Jews? And what about Jews that oppose Zionism? Now, I did mention in the video that there are Jews who oppose Zionism, anti-Zionist Jews, and I did also mention in the video that Jewish opposition to Zionism is very, very small. It's a very niche part of the Jewish world. Sex like Satmar and Nitori Carter, who famously oppose Zionism. And yet a lot of their members do live in Israel, which is really, really you talk about intellectual gymnastics that people have to play. I don't exactly know how these guys can justify living in Israel voluntarily, yet they don't recognize the state as a legitimate state. But believe it or not, there are such people who subscribe to that ideology living in Jerusalem. But in any event, people said, well, what about the early Zionists? Weren't a lot of those guys atheists or at least not religious? And they were, that is correct. And that's why it's important to understand the difference between political Zionism and religious Zionism. So let's start with religious Zionism, religious Zionism. I would summarize as the idea that the revival of the state of Israel or the possibility for Jewish people to be able to establish sovereignty in Israel for the first time in 2000 years after they were kicked out of Israel by the Romans and after the destruction of the Jewish temples. And thereafter spent time in the diaspora. People will see that religious Zionists as a divine occurrence. Right. And this is where, as I said previously, we have to bring religion into it because we can't divorce a religious movement from religion. Needless to say. So these people believe that Israel is given to the Jews by God and that the political events that may have and that returning there is a religious movement and it's a religious there's a religious impetus to do that. The Jews have to return to Israel as soon as possible. Now, the anti-religious Jews, firstly, are not Zionists or the anti-Zionist Jews are not Zionists. Needless to say, this does all get a little bit confusing. And their opposition to Zionism, this small group of Jews who oppose it on religious grounds, that's a little bit technical to get into why. But I would recommend a book for those who are interested in exploring this. It's an excellent book. It's called Aem Habanim Smecha. And it's by Rabbi called Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Techtal. Zichronol Avrakame is memory be for a blessing. And this book spells out the religious Zionist answer to the anti-Zionist answer. Now, the anti-Zionist, why they don't oppose why they oppose Zionism on religious grounds? Key thing is something called the Shalo Shavuot, the three oaths that they believe that the Jewish people are bound by. And that is in itself a Talmudic interpretation of some Torah, saying basically that they believe that Jews are the language that they use is banned by the nations of the world, or they took a vow to not go up as a wall. And they use as a wall to understand the idea of sort of coordinated mass entry to Israel. So that's why you have anti-Zionist Jews.  Now, coming back to the point about political Zionism or, you know, secular Zionism. So clearly secular Zionism isn't religious, right? It's in the name. These are Zionists who believe that the Jews should have a state. Zionism, the revival of the Jewish state, but they don't believe either believe in God. They may be, in fact, atheists who just identify as Jewish by virtue being part of the Jewish people. And these people tend to this religious versus political Zionism is the answer to the responses in my comments to people asking, how could I say that opposing Zionism is anti-Jewish when some of the some Jewish people were secular Zionists? OK, and that is the that is the answer to that good question, which is a very reasonable question to ask that Zionism has both religious and political strands. Now, it's more than just kind of fragment, intellectual fragmenting here. There are real differences, important differences in terms of how that manifests. So the religious Zionists, Dati, Naomi is what is called in Hebrew. This is has been associated more with the settler movement. Or I think it's fair to say that the Dati, Naomi movement, the religious Zionist movement tends to be more right wing in that. You know, they see the whole of the land of Israel as being the what the Jews are entitled to when they reestablished Israel versus the political Zionists. You want to see Israel for on non religious grounds, perhaps their grounds are that the Jews, the Holocaust proved that the Jews have to have a state, but they don't necessarily see the connection between that and the Jewish exile and the foregoing events documented in the Jewish Bible, the Torah. So there are differences beyond even though they both come towards the same point, ideological movement of Zionism, they are different camps and how they conceive of Zionism's legitimacy and also different. They conceive differently what they want, the output of Zionism, the state of Israel to be. And yes, they both exist. Even in today's Israel, there are secular and religious Zionists and secular and religious Zionist parties and politicians running on platforms that appeal to different those two different groups. And it is, therefore, an important distinction to underscore. But I maintain in my belief as a religious Zionist, broadly speaking, that I think that opposing Zionism Zionism completely saying the Jews don't have a right to a state is anti Jewish. Because, as he said, from my perspective, the land of Israel is a key integral element of the practice of Judaism. And therefore, if you deny the Jews have the right to exist in a Jewish state, I think you're opposing the Jewish people. But that comes from my perspective of more religiously motivated or oriented or derived Zionism. I hope that that video has perhaps been interesting for folks who are unclear on the differences and whatnot. And if you've got thoughts to offer, feel free to drop them in the comments. Thanks for watching today's video. More videos about Israel and Zionism will be coming soon.


And still talking health, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Maudi O'Nanye has called on health workers in Delta State to sit up and discharge in their professional duties at all levels. He made the statement in a budget defence at the State House of Assembly. He noted that health workers have an attitude problem which doesn't go well in the health sector. The Chairman House Committee on Health, Delta State House of Assembly, is Honourable Austin O'Roye. He expressed worry over non-implementation of government funds on the health sector. The government spending money is not enough. We need people to implement those funds. That is the common world of the people. And if those funds are not properly implemented, that is why you have the law back in the House for us to ask questions, about it and do our oversight. And that is what we've done as a committee. With the health sector, we are improving, we are not there yet, but certainly we'll get there.


thing a lot of us have been wondering as this whole DeAndre Hopkins watch continues to go on where's he gonna end up where's he gonna land where is DeAndre Hopkins going to sign he's taking visits with the Tennessee Titans and the New England Patriots thus far we'll see if he ends up scheduling anymore but it's been said that both teams they like what they saw both teams will be interested in signing them but when we hear about the Patriots interest it seems to be on a whole another level than the Tennessee Titans was I mean he went out to Tennessee he was out there in the private jet and whatnot went to the country concert and all that apparently had a good time but then with New England it just seemed to be a little bit different because we keep on hearing these reports that that interest is really really mutual and the Patriots really really want to land DeAndre Hopkins I mean I couldn't blame him you got a young Mac Jones you just gave him juju Smith Schuster excuse me Super Bowl champion juju Smith Schuster and to pair him alongside with DeAndre Hopkins and that running game that they could do some time I mean I don't really see them coming out of the east the the afc east anything strong really afc in general but still that could help your young quarterback and you want to do everything you can at possible to help your young quarterback so he'll be a good move sure-handed wide receiver done it all in the league except when a when a championship it's the only thing that he got left to accomplish but with Patriots put him in the best position to do that I don't think so but anyway Matt Judon who us Ravens fans we are definitely very familiar with we know Matt Judon know him for his on the field stuff but also the off the field stuff too and just how just goofy Matt Judon could be Matt Judon is somebody that likes to have fun he likes to joke around he likes to troll and the other day DeAndre Hopkins during his visit he posted a picture with him and Matt Judon in locker room just teasing and on that picture he put La Familia and that means the family well I think it means the family in Spanish anybody let me know if I'm wrong but anyway Matt Judon was like all right you know what that's cool but let me take it to another level so then on Twitter Matt Judon he tweeted GM of the year and a lot of people are thinking uh okay why would he put that what would be the reasoning what was that for what was that about who was that about was that about who we think or could have uh and somebody replied to him and said uh not yet you haven't done anything respectfully obviously I think that would be geared more towards uh Bill Belichick Robert Craver just the whole New England Patriots front office um because we haven't heard anything we haven't heard an announcement or anything that anybody's been signed or DeAndre Hopkins specifically so that's who that was for and then Matt Judon's response he just sent the gift just like and and that could lead a lot of us to believe hey is is something on the way is something brewing over there New England between them and DeAndre Hopkins could it be could they have everything that DeAndre Hopkins is looking for in a team to continue his career is the bread gonna be right is the chemistry gonna be right is the team environment gonna be right is I mean it is a pretty well run organization I'd say so got the coach the defense is solid and I mean they could get better even better this year so what's up I mean the whole quarterback there's a little question mark still but you got a lot of other stuff and I mean if the money comes right if the money is right then DeAndre Hopkins might be like forget that list that I was talking about I ain't worried about none of that but could Matt Judon be on or something does he know something or is he just trolling is he just playing the game and I guess it's just one of those things that we really won't know till we know because players man players will do this type of stuff because players are in the know then it will for some stuff they're in the know because if you remember just this with Ravens remember when um there were the rumors going around that the Ravens were interested in Darius lay they were ready to get Darius lay cornerback from the Philadelphia Eagles who it was said that the Eagles were getting ready to release them and because they couldn't find a trade part or nothing so it was said that they were getting ready to release them and then you saw some Ravens players especially like Marlon Humphrey tweeting the eyes emojis and when players like they know that we be watching that stuff they know that we see that stuff and I remember when I saw that I didn't really think nothing of it like oh Marlon Humphrey just trolling but then it came out later on that the Ravens really were trying to sign Darius lay and it came directly from him he said it he let it he said hey the Ravens they were the team they were trying to sign and he said that the money it was the same thing what the Eagles were matching I mean what the Eagles gave them so Ravens were willing to pay Darius they were willing to pay him that money and they were really trying to get them so they're really trying to upgrade that other corner opposite Marlon Humphrey and I mean that would have been nice but I wonder how the rest of their offseason would have went if they would have made that move I mean it could have still went crazy but I guess it's just one of those things that we'll never know but I say all that to say this that players they know some stuff and when you see different like little emojis and stuff different stuff that they be tweeting hey they may be on or something but with Matt Judon it's like man because we know that he's such a troll you know he's such a troll but could he actually mean business this time I guess we'll just have to wait and see baby till you keep it clean I love y'all let me know what y'all think you you think Deandre Hopkins if big if capital if if Deandre Hopkins does go to the Patriots you think they could make some noise you think they'll be a good fit you think they could shake up the AFC East or do you think it would just be like okay he went to the Patriots all right it is what it is anyway let me know I love y'all appreciate y'all make sure you subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on so you do not miss not one single thing and just like it comes to Deandre Hopkins being in free agency soon enough he could end up finally being out but hopefully it's not with the Patriots hopefully ends up being with the Ravens well we'll see I mean we'll see I love y'all


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It is a Thursday on FIFA 21. We have got the guaranteed Path to Glory Team 2, SBC probably coming today, along with the Weekend League rewards, and of course, interesting market movements with those French objectives for the Weekend League Plus. We'll talk about that, what that could mean for the market, and of course, tomorrow, we will be seeing our first Path to Glory upgrades based off how many wins some of these PTG cards have gotten. We've got a couple cards here that are locked in, loaded, ready, and set for upgrades. I think that's gonna be an exciting time on the market tomorrow. So we're gonna talk about that, just what is going on with this game and how these cards are, again, just incredible, incredible opportunities to trade on this game. Also, I want to look at SBC fodder with, again, that SBC coming today. What is that guaranteed Path to Glory SBC going to be looking like for the market? What is that gonna do? And are French cards gonna rise even further today, like some of these icons and some of these out-of-pack specials that are of the France nationality? Are they going to be rising up even more today with rewards, with those, of course, being the focal point with these Weekend League Plus objectives? I think that's what I wanna start talking off first today is the Weekend League Plus objectives and how this affects this game, right? Weekend League Plus. Now, also, when we talk about this, we usually see Weekend League Plus objectives when there are, there's not going to be an actual promo Friday released. So this is a bit interesting in the fact that we thought we might see summer stars cards tomorrow on Friday, but as it looks right now, we might just be having Weekend League Plus that might be doing PTG upgrades. And I guess maybe in that fact, they could release the PTG cards back into packs, both teams, not 100% expecting that one. But I think what we'll be on the lookout for today is, again, that summer stars card design, which is basically the same card design right here for the Platte de Glories, but it has all the different color in the background. If we do see a legit PNG or JPEG, whatever kind of file it is, uploaded into the actual game from Foot Watch in the code, then we will 100% know, in my opinion, that tomorrow will be those summer stars items. So the content's been rolling out this week, right? I've got a lot of SBCs that I have yet to complete, and fodder's getting a little bit lower than what it was. Like I've got the 87 triple to do, the 82 times 10, probably going to give that a shot as well. We do have some fodder in the clubs, we're going to give that a go. Again, it's just a bummer that the 82 plus player pick is our repeatable upgrade pack that we had this week. And I just think the level of hype on that SBC is just not too high. It's not very grindable, it's a lot harder to do. So maybe some of you guys are still doing some of those, but I think it's just, the hype is not there on those in my opinion. But these upgrade packs are nice, right? And the Racketedge SBC is a W as well. So we're getting good value SBCs right now. The content is good. It's just, I think we're really curious to see what's going to happen on Friday. And today could continue with that good content, of course, if we do have the path to glory SBC. But again, back to the market, right? Today's week in the reward. So some of these PTG team two cards are probably going to get supplied. Now last week, we actually saw a pretty big drop offs on rewards day for some of these cards. Now the only interesting thing is the preview packs have supplied these cards so much that they're already so cheap. But also what you see here is an interesting thing to be watching out for today with the guaranteed PTG pack and week in the rewards is some of these cards are guaranteed upgrades for Mino and Brazil got their third win tonight in the 90th minute against Columbia. So he's going to go to a 97 rated card. Millie Tau's going to go to a 94. Hazard's going to get boosted up. Wynaldum's going to get a boost. And I think from this team two, those are the only cards that are getting boosted up, right? Thorgan Hazard's getting an upgrade. Florenzi will go up plus two. Wynaldum will go up plus two. Verati, Delict, Hazard. Those are the cards, along with Vinicius Jr. Eddie Millie Tau and Roberto Firmino. Those are the cards that tomorrow will get upgraded as of right now. Those are the, I think there's going to be nine cards in total that will be upgraded with the three Brazilians, the two Belgian cards, the two Dutch cards and the two Italian cards that are in this game. So our first upgrades are coming in. I'm very curious to see how much they juice these cards up. Again, it's a plus two upgrade. So we're expecting a plus two in all stat categories, maybe a plus three and one or two of them. That'd be pretty dope. So we'll be keeping an eye out for that tomorrow. But I'm interested to see if anybody, like let's say somebody today on the market's like, I think this is a very popular way of maybe some investors, what they might be looking for today on Thursday.  I've actually won and clinched that game, that third win to kind of lock his upgrade in. You're seeing his price drop off. He's gonna get supply today at rewards, maybe. This is the type of card that, you know, if you think back to the PTG team one guaranteed pack, you didn't get that many Gullivans. You didn't get that many Yazikis. Some people did, but honestly, you had a lot of Veratis. You had a lot of Surge Navries. I think from this week's PTG team two, as we see, you're probably gonna see a decent amount of Chilwell, Paredes, Marata, Colostrum and Rebic, but you might also see a decent amount of Wynaldum and Eder Militao, because those are some of the mid-tier cards that seem to pop a lot in the last week's guaranteed from team one. I think these guys might pop again from team two, which is gonna be interesting market movements, because I feel like there will be some people on the game today that are looking to invest in Militao, in Hazard, in Firmino. Some of those cards that are going out of packs tomorrow that also could have a rise with their upgrades. So I think that's gonna be a very interesting part of the market to keep an eye on. You know, even this Hazard card, I really feel like a lot of these guys are really cheap. I mean, 580,000 coins this Ed and Hazard is pretty nuts. I do expect it to drop more today with weakening rewards, tradable supply of course, brand new preview packs being open today. So I would expect drop off and with a guaranteed as well. If he pops up from those packs a lot, then he could drop even more later on today. I think the other part of the market that I'm just so interested in knowing what's gonna happen with are these, are some of these cards that are French, that have already gone up so much in price. I mean, if you think about it, a lot of people who are playing weakening at this point have probably purchased some of these French cards that they're going to be using in the weakening this weekend.  I'm really curious with this Marquinhos card. I'm really keeping an eye on him. I know he's gonna get supplied tonight with elite packs from rewards. Again, that's one thing we have to look at every single Thursday now, is that some of these team of the season cards, of course the 91 plus items, are going to be available from rewards in the tradable packs 91 plus from the elite and the top 100 packs. So I'm very curious to see if some of these cards, especially from League One, have a dip maybe and then a rebound after that on a guy like Marquinhos. I got like Kailor Navas. You've already seen Ben Yetter and, you know, some of these French cards like Klaus and Bomba go up so much. But I'm really curious to see if some of these cards continue to keep going if there's more hype for those today, which honestly, if you're playing weakening this weekend, most likely you're gonna be using some French players. I'm gonna be using French players in my team to try to get those extra player picks. Now, we have this Lucas Hernandez that is in objectives right now. I think a decent amount of people have done him. And this Davies card is, you know, it's not a French card, but it is Byron. It links Coman and it links that Hernandez card together. 400,000 coins is what he was earlier yesterday. That was really, really low on the market. I think some of these cards that aren't French but have really good links to the popular French players that are in this game could also rise today. Now I'm gonna take a look here at these, this Alfonso Davies, because if he's like 400K flat on undercut or like low 400s, I'm gonna pull a trigger, but he's 450, he is up. So people are already looking at this card. It looks like we'll see if we have even more of a rise today after rewards. But that'd be one thing you could look for on the market as well right now is maybe some of these cards during the first hour or so of the supply from the Weekend Link rewards tradable on these team of the seasons. Do you see a drop on those cards and then a rise from people actually wanting to go out and use those items in the Weekend Link? So that's gonna be one thing I'll be curious to see what happens to stay with rewards. But other than that, I think you'll see the market, I mean push up a little bit, not a ton. Again, there's a lot of coins that are on this market. You see with these fluctuations, you see with these cards, people have coins from doing the preview packs and stuff like that. So I'm very, I guess I'm very curious to see how many people are motivated to go out and play Weekend Link with these extra objectives available to us right now in this game. If it at this stage of FIFA are those types of objectives going to motivate people to play the Weekend Link, which I honestly think that it will a little bit. Did I see Foden at 550?  Because if that's actually sitting there, then I'm gonna buy that at 550. Yeah, that guy bought. That was a really low price for Foden. Anyways, this Pogba's done a million coins, but he's in packs today. So for rewards and with a guaranteed PTG, I'm probably gonna be staying away from some of these cards that are in packs like the Firmino, like the Pogba until later on in the day on Thursday. But speaking again about that guaranteed PTG SBC, what we have here is we still technically have the team one SBC that is out in the game. It expires today. And again, if you guys remember, this was an 87 rated squad is what this cost it. It came out right away at 200,000 coins, got really cheap over the next couple of days, and then has rebounded back up as fodder has gone back up in the past couple of days as well. Now since PTG team two is a lot cheaper with the preview packs, we've seen so much supply of these cards on the market. Do I think they make the PTG team two cheaper than team one? I think if at all they do, it's only gonna be an 86 rated squad. I think it's an 86 or an 87 rated squad today for these cards. Now if you wanted to buy some 86s, as you see here, a really nice drop off into rewards with maybe a little bit of a less demand on yesterday on Wednesday for the higher tier SBC fodder market. Since that 82 times 10 didn't require a lot and the racquetich SBC is cool, but that doesn't have as much demand as like a moments icon player picked it earlier in the week. So I mean, maybe you see some of the 86s dip off again today during rewards that they jumped down a little bit more on the index. Maybe you look to try to snag a few of these cards that maybe like, I don't know, if you can snag like 16,000 coins, they might go 20 plus with that guaranteed PTG pack coming later today if it is 86 or 87 rated. I don't think they'll go any lower than that. I don't think they'll go any higher than that. I feel like 86 is kind of even a little bit too much if I'm being completely honest, because a lot of times what EA does though is they base these SBCs off of how they think they should be priced and they don't necessarily go off of like the actual market price. Because if they value an 87 rated squad on this market right now, that's about 210,000 coins. This Path of Glory upgrade from last week is a 210,000 coin SBC, 200K-ish on both consoles. Now I think they need to make it 86 rated because look at how many cards we have here in PTG team two that are like under 200K or under 300,000 coins. Whereas last week on PTG team one, at this exact same time, we had three cards that were over 2 million coins with Havertz, with Griezmann, and with Venetius. We had some very, very, very expensive cards last week in the team. Phil Foden was still a million coins last week and right now he's 600K, right? So I think that this SBC has to be cheaper today. I still think that it will move fodder upwards in the general trend and today might be a decent time to get out on some of these cards as well. If you're gonna buy some SBC fodder for a quick flip or if you have some in the club still, you maybe wanna get out unless you don't think there's a promo coming on Friday and you wanna hold onto those as we get more SBCs, that could be a thought process that you have as well. But again, I'm thinking 86 with a guaranteed PTG team, player team two, and I think they will require a team this season or a team of the week card as they have been doing for a lot of those SBCs in the last couple of weeks. I was gonna say second half this year, but I mean, obviously only since team this season have they been requiring those Taz cards. So I've got this Griezmann here. I'm gonna try to get like one, six, something for this tonight. He just dropped off way too much. Now the interesting thing here is some of these nations can actually not get six wins. You guys know how the upgrades work, right? Since some of these teams in group F especially are coming out with only one win, they needed two to technically stay alive to get the six win threshold for that five star, five star. And I believe right now, if you take a look at the Euro bracket and kind of do the math, let's see, France is playing Switzerland in the first round of 16, right? But if you take a look at this, France on one win right now, we'll go one win to here, two, three, four, five. So technically right now, all of group F which would be Portugal, Germany, and France are capped at five wins. So they can still get the plus two, plus one, and plus one if they were to go on through the rest of the tournament. But as it looks right now, these cards won't get the five star, five star. So it's gonna be very hard to get the six win or hit that six win threshold unless a team that wins the Euros is a team that won at least two games from their group play.  They still have the potential. Phil Foden could get that five star, five star upgrade if England were to win out and win the rest of the tournament because they came out of their group on two wins, if that makes sense. Again, we're really seeing now how I think the six win threshold was a bit too much. I feel like the first upgrade should have been after two wins. And then of course, maybe after three, then after four, and then after five. I think they should have subtracted one win off of each of these requirements because again, it's gonna be really hard to get that six wins unless you're in Brazil and you maybe just go like seven and oh through the entire tournament. I don't know what's gonna happen there. But they're on fire. So that's one interesting thing these price drops today. That's why you saw it. Griezmann dropped so much. That's why you've seen Pogba drop so much as well is because I think people were really hoping for the French national team to really show up. And technically they did get first in their group and they're moving on, but the upgrades aren't coming as quickly and they're not planned out to come as quickly as people really wanted them to be. So I think that's why you're seeing such a huge drop off in those prices. But I do think you'll see some of them bounce back as well. And that's why I bought that Griezmann really watching this average tonight too because he went from 1.4 flat up into the 1.5s. Right now he's at 1.495. So if I saw these back down in the low 1.4s I'd get interested again because of course they are still alive and in the tournament. It's just, you know, now we're in the real fun, right? We're in the knockout stages round of 16 and moving on past that it's gonna be really fun for the Euros and Copa America because of that. So again today on Thursday what we're really watching out for is a potential market rise on more of those French cards in this game, icons, team of the seasons, out of packed special cards. Like let me even take a look at this Alan St. Maxman, right? You know what? You're gonna see a lot of this weekend. And I know a lot of you guys are gonna say, man, this is not good. We don't wanna see this. You're gonna see a lot of Veran and Mendy. I'm calling it right now. You're gonna see a lot of Veran and Mendy in the Weekend League basically because people are gonna be rocking with those, the Saladuo that they rocked with for so long earlier this year. They need those French links, especially if they don't have a lot of coins. You're gonna see a lot of that. This same Maxman card is up a bunch. You're gonna see a lot of those French links that maybe were used earlier on in the year. People are gonna be using some lower tier cards, right? Cause there's not, there's a lot of French team in the season items, but not always can you get the greatest of links with those. So of course people are gonna be dipping back into the earlier promos of FIFA with some of these, like the Alwar card as you can see here is already up a lot. French nationality from Foot Birthday. I think Foot Birthday team one had another, oh of course the Furlan-Mendi French card, the Zambia French card as well. So again, a lot of these promo cards from earlier on in the year that are French, you're seeing a nice rise on those. Cause again, that demand is just so, so heavy. But I think one place again where you could look to maybe try to find a market rise today is somewhere where yes, there are links to some of those French nation players where people might be having to, you know, cause you need eight French players maybe for your rest of your three, you're linking together again, like a Coleman and a Lucas Hernandez with that Alfonso Davies. So just kind of trying to throw some things out there or maybe like the Marquinhos. I think that was a pretty good shot as well. I think you'll see a decent amount of the market today with links to French stuff move up. Cause again, a lot of people have already bought cards they're gonna use for this weekend league. But I think there's still gonna be more buying today. I think this market does have coins because of the preview packs. People are opening these packs for free, then deciding if they want to actually pay for them if they get something good from it. So you're probably gonna see a little bit more of that even today with a refresh of the promo packs. It looks like almost every single day there's a little bit of a market crash probably gonna happen today as well. Now there's not any huge, huge games on today. I believe that there might be some Copa America games, Bolivia Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay, but the Euro 2020 games do not come back until Saturday with the knockout stages starting Italy, Austria and Wales, Denmark. So that'll be interesting to see if the market does not die off as much unless the content is insane. Cause I feel like the Euros, the later Euro games are pulling people away from FIFA. They're watching those games instead and that definitely impacts the market. But it is good to be back at the setup boys. It is good to be back. Thanks for hanging in there with the phone videos while I was at camp for a couple of days. But that is the video for today man. It should be an interesting Thursday. I'm gonna rock up to the stream today with the 87 triple upgrade and the 82 times 10 rip a couple of those. See if we get any PTG cards untradable in the club. That'd be dope. So if you enjoyed this one, just smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


The OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman's cryptocurrency project, The Worldcoin Foundation, is rolling out its services worldwide, except in the United States. You can schedule a visit to a nearby location that has what they call Worldcoin orbs.  That way you prove you're not a bot. You, you a person went to the store. If you are a crypto long hauler, and I know many are, then trying to figure out what lessons were learned from the first boom and bust is critical. If part of that was that you didn't know who your stakeholders were, and that you were looking at rampant pump and dump stuff beyond just influencers, but also by way of bots and stuff like that, then this is a step forward.
