It's our problem, isn't it? Hang on, haven't I keep it pushed too wide? It's wide, but... We've already wide already. But that's our problem, we just can't hit the target. Ffritir. Honestly, what is going on here? What is the point that there must be? I'm not being funny, there's something in the game. There's something in the game. Garn has just been wiped out. How is it not a foul? Penalty that never was. Ffail, isn't it? The ball off him. Come on, again. I'm confident there's gone off something in the box. I know. Go on. How's it you? Let's not get ragged because we're not out of this. So let's just keep our heads. It's down in the glock. That's the way you'd kick it, wouldn't you? You'd just kick it to the advertising board. I got, honestly, what is downloaded, like, the jagged file. Jagged version of something.  Aw, that wasn't sooner. Come on, that's we've turned it. Now we've turned the corner. Go on. Go on, you're in. Unlocking, really good run. Really good run. How is he shite? How's he's playing? Nawr o boch yn disguston. Let it in you are.  How's he done that? Why isn't he just shite footed it? Brilliant. Keep it down please. He's spilt it. Come on, there's still time left. There's still time. Don't get sucked in by Cain. The last thing you want to do with that tongue. You're right. That's it, make it run. That wasn't the one I wanted it to make. Wasn't you. I believe this. Everything we've thrown, everything. It feels so hard to score. I don't even know what that was for. This, this for this. It's when you booted them up in the air. That's the rule, innit? Right, come on. Just throw it in the mix. Penalty spot. Come on, this is unfair.  Three defeats in a row. No goals scored. I believe that when we learn how to score, we're going to give someone a high. 11 shots today against Spares and they score a fluky penalty that should never have been given. I'm sitting on my own because, you know, Barry can't be here because he's been banned for telling the truth about these referees and it's happened again today. Jordan Piff comes out, makes a perfectly good save and that's Harry Kane. Getting the winning goal. We've done everything but score. Everything on a cabbage patch pitch. And I tell you what, when we learn how to score someone is getting a high and when refs learn how to ref we might get some decisions and win a game of football. You said at the start of the season that your objective is to win the league. Has that changed? Are you fighting a relegation battle now? Well, listen, it's four defeats. It's not good on paper. We're bringing the team together. We're finding out the strengths. It's not going to plan. We've got the refs against us. We've got the pitches against us. We've got everything against us. That's what it feels like. But when it comes together, mark my words, when it comes together we're going to take a few teams apart and we're going to get back up that league table.


Gidei, how are you going? Welcome back to Brutalosophy, my channel reviewing boots and boot related things. If you haven't been here before, my name is Tech. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands that I live and work on, the Wajik people of Nungabuja. Today I'm taking a look at these Italian made Chelsea boots. The Bitflex boot from Italian brand Astorflex. This is Italian boot maker Astorflex's Chelsea boot called the Bitflex. Let me tell you from the start that these are probably the most comfortable boot I've ever tried on. But I get ahead of myself. It was provided for me to review by Huckberry who sell this boot through their website. I've put a link to the website below. Now just let me say that while this was provided to me to review, there were no agreements or commitments about what I could and will say. I'm going to provide my usual unbiased review. Okay, so this boot. This is a Chelsea boot with a low to standard height shaft that's about 5 inches from the top of the heel. If you want to know about the surprising story about the invention of the Chelsea boot, I'll talk about it in my review of the RM Williams craftsman in Tobacco Suede that you can check out up here. This Bitflex Chelsea is set on top of a soft natural rubber crepe sole with a low heel of a little over half a centimetre about half an inch. This low profile along with this soft stone coloured suede combines to create a relaxed casual Italian fashion conscious look. The dark goreng panels surprise at first because they're a strong contrast of that light suede. But after you wear it a few times you get to like it for the contrast. It's a very pretty boot and if any boot can look Italian fashionable, this does. And looking at its style, it's obviously a casual boot so casual gear is the gore. I've worn it with slim jeans and a sloppy cable knit jumper and I find the light stone colour can look great with the dark of the indigo and the dark jumper.  I braid this next look pretending to be in summer but the soft suede and light colour would be a great pairing with a summery shirt and light wash denim. Look it's a neutral colour so really it will go with any neutral coloured casual outfit from brown leather jackets to relaxed white or sand coloured linen anything in black, blue, brown, green or tan. It's such a relaxed and laid back design that you just need to make sure your clothes stay in that relaxed Italian La Dolce Vita lifestyle. The Bitflex is made by Italian company Astor Flex. The naming of their products seem to always include the Suffix Flex. I've previously reviewed the lace up six inch boot called the Bootflex which you can see by clicking the link up here. I'm also going to review the Chaka boot later, the one called Brownflex. They also make a loafer called the Patnoflex. Each of their designs come in a variety of leathers, mostly relaxed make-ups like suede or newbuck and most of them come on the crepe rubber sole. The company was started in the late 19th century. Fernando Trevanzoli started the company in Northern Italy. It was called Fratelli Trevanzoli then. After the First World War they began to expand their products and grew from a small family run workshop into an industrialised factory setup. They have long used the traditional stitch down method of construction which I'll talk about later and in time Fernando handed the company over to his son Danielle who in turn handed the reins to his sons Alfredo and Bettino and now it's owned by Alfredo's son Fabio. With family still working in Astaflex I believe it's now in sixth generation. On top of that they own a family restaurant right across the factory. How about that? The current family owners embrace the eco-conscious greening of their boots using veg tent leathers, water-based dyes, non-solvent glues and natural rubber soles. They describe their product as 100% ecological. So with that let's turn to the construction of these Bitflex Chelsea boots. As usual I'll start from the bottom and then go up. Right at the bottom the outsole is a crepe rubber outsole. When I say crepe rubber I don't mean like the red-wing mock-toe Christy wage sole which many people call crepe rubber. It isn't really. Crepe rubber is raw coagulated rubber processed by adding assets to the liquid rubber tapped from rubber trees and then run through rollers called crepiers. It's a French word because the French were instrumental in industrializing rubber from plantations in the China and Malaysia. What results is this thin spongy and sticky raw rubber that's cut into sheets? If you've owned or seen an original Clark's Desert boot you'll have seen this before. The heel is also made of the same crepe rubber glued onto the outsole. Now the advantages of crepe rubber as an outsole is that it's cheap and biodegradable. It's also very soft and so incredibly shock absorbing and it's very grippy on pretty much all surfaces. If you remember your high school physics it has a high drag coefficient and really grips well. The downside is that it is sticky.  As a result when well worn it can be pretty ugly when you kick back and everyone can see the bottom of your shoes. It's attached to the midsole with non-solvent glue. Lack of solvents means lack of petroleum products so you can appreciate the greenness. Nothing wrong with it though. The soles on my original lace up boot flex a couple of years old now haven't moved or come apart and these look very secure.  Think of it as a leather version of wood chip timber. Yeah some people will be didactic about it and say oh no no no it isn't real leather. No it isn't but it's part of what makes this boot fit into this price point. The midsole is sewn to the uppers using a 360 degree stitch down construction. The uppers are sewn and lasted into the shape of the boot and the bottom of the uppers are flat out and then sewn onto the midsole. The stitching is with very thick threads that go all the way around the boot hence 360 degrees. On the inside of the boot the midsole and stitches which if exposed can be uncomfortable is covered with a felt slip sole glued on top. Then they insert a removable veg tanned leather comfort insole with a foam backing for comfort. The hole inside of the boot is also leather lined and this helps make slipping the boot on really easy and comfortable. The uppers are an Italian tanned suede. It's described as premium suede but I don't know which tanner it's from. It's a very soft leather not particularly thick and combined with the lining it's overall a little over 4mm thick enough I suppose as a relaxed casual boot and on the plus side it means that it's soft on your foot. The nap is nice but I have to say not to the quality of really premium suede like that from Charles Evstead in England where the nap is longer and softer but again you know price point. The stitching is really really good. The stitch down stitch using really thick thread is neat and very even The stitching on the uppers panels is also straight and uniform double stitching on the front vat to the rear quarters and single stitching on the single piece backstay. The goring panels are a rougher weave elastic material securely sewn though, elastic enough but I get the feeling that from stretching it in time it might get flabby faster than those you get in the tighter weave goring panels elsewhere. The lining of the heel is very clever. The lining leather is cut so it exposes a suede piece to grip your sock. I'm guessing the very light heel counter is internal sandwiched between the outside suede and the inside suede lining. It's very light and I'm guessing because of their eco-consciousness it's not a thermoplastic and I think it feels like leather board. The toe box is also lightly structured. Again I guess with leather board. All in all the materials suit the casual boot and the price point and for this type of boot you can't complain about the QC. As for the caring of this suede you know, I'd say none is needed. Firstly it's suede and seriously you shouldn't be slapping condition all over it. On a finer suede you might invest in some Sophia suede conditioner spray but this feels and looks like it should be something you wear without care that you wear it and it gets stained and flattens and it looks good doing it. At best I use a suede brush and brush the nap every now and then. If you really want to keep it clean and I grant you there are other boots with a fine suede in light colours that you'd want to do that. In this case though I just use a suede eraser to spot clean any marks and then use the suede brush to raise the nap. I've got some affiliate Amazon links to suede cleaning products deep down in the description below if you want to take a look. Otherwise I intend to wear these as totally casual boots to relax in and if they get stained and scruffy I honestly think that adds to the look. As for sizing these were supplied by American retailer Huckbury so they actually sized in the US 8. I measure a US 8.5 in the average or D width. In most American boots I size a half down into an 8 in D width. These are size 8 and they fit perfectly. Take note though they don't come in half sizes and they don't come in different widths. I suspect that if you have wider feet you should size up but the best thing to do is to check with Huckbury's customer service. For my UK, Australian and European viewers the inside of the boot is stamped with a European size 41 which again is usually what I wear. To compare I take Thursday captains and parkers boots in size 8 Grandstone and Whiteson 8D and Oak Street bootmakers on the Elston last in 8.5. I also take Bordeaux boots in 41 as well as the Indonesian boots that I have. In English boots though I usually go through to size at 7.5 in average width and that applies to Cheney, Crockett and Jones but in Granson I go with size 7. As for comfort obviously the right sizing helps but anyway these are probably the most comfortable boots I've ever slipped on. Finally I can say these feel like slippers without mentally adding if slippers were made of tough leather wrapped around your whole foot and up your ankle initially digging into all of your sore spots. No really these do really feel like slipping on slippers. The last is not wide but it's cut enough not to be tight anywhere. If I had to say I'd say it was less than snug even and yet it feels secure in my foot even without the laces. My toes are not manipulated into the last shape in any way my little pinkies are squealing with happiness. The soft suede is just perfect for a pair of casual boots and the softness underfoot is a revelation. Even my boot flex made the same way with the same materials just doesn't feel as comfortable as this one. As for value these show up on the Hubberry website at US$215. They're the most expensive in the Astor Flex range carried the Chaka and Lofa sell for under US$200. I'm not sure why other than perhaps this model has more leather square area which I guess would have a knock-on effect on other materials used as well as labour. Anyway $215 they compare pretty well to other lower to mid-range Chelsea boots. The rugged variety like Bordon's Isidro is over that price but they're sturdily built and don't look like RM's which are now a high fashion priced boot. Compared to the work casual Chelsea's like Blunstone and Redwing these are comparable and better quality materials than the Blunnies. The pros for that price are comfort, reasonable QC and Italian 60s coolness. Think of Marcello Mastriani sipping his espresso in the piazza. Another pro is their green credentials if you care about that which often has a slightly higher premium for green materials.  And while technically resoldable I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a willing high street cobbler who'd be game enough to do it. So you'd probably have to send it to a specialist who does heritage stuff. Overall would I buy them again? Yeah they are so comfy and cool. When I wear these out I'd see if it's worth resolding them with a similar soft outsole and if not I'd buy another pair for sure. So there's my review of these Italian really cool looking comfortable Chelsea boots. There's a link below to where you can get them.

A blend of stunning landscapes, rich culture and history, friendly people and fascinating cities all make India a very appealing destination for a Tezal course. Our Tezal courses in India provide high quality training that can be utilized in India or elsewhere worldwide. India is truly unique in terms of the diversity that it offers. Many cultures and religions happily coexist in relative harmony and there is a tremendous variety of traditions, costumes and languages on display. The Indian cuisine has rightly become popular all over the world and again offers something to suit all tastes. India is also home to one of the modern wonders of the world, the famous Taj Mahal as well as other stunning cities, temples, palaces, castles, national parks and beaches. The city of Kolkata, formerly Kolkata, surrounded on one side by the beauty of the Himalayan ranges and by a delightful coastline on the other. You can arrange a visit to one of the numerous, colorful markets and witness firsthand the culture mix and smells and sights that make India such a fascinating destination. During a short walk in the market you could see anything from snake charmers to chattering monkeys as well as all manner of business people, beggars and traders. It certainly is interesting to see ancient tradition nestling side by side with modern business and buildings. The nearby Himalayas make a pleasant and cooler change from the heat and noise Kolkata and many visitors come to seek peace and solitude whereas others seek more active pursuits such as hiking and whitewater rafting. Kolkata itself and the surrounding area there is also plenty to see and do with temples, national parks, museums and wildlife sanctuaries. Kolkata is a melting pot for experiencing the true diversity of the country and therefore is a good choice of location for taking a tesal course.


Good afternoon, thank you Michelle for that kind introduction and I'm thrilled to be with you and so proud of what you all have accomplished these last three days. I also want to recognize my colleague Maria Kosolowski who leads the Rockefeller Foundation's work in innovative finance, including our partnerships with many of you and I'm thrilled that Maria is here with us today. You know it is really good to be with you because you have shown that your commitment to using capitalism, using investment, using impact investment, and using your values all together can genuinely be transformational. You're making big bets every day and in fact we need your big bets today more than ever. If you look at the nature and the condition of our domestic economy, we are in the midst of a once in a generation, maybe once in multiple generation, public investments through the Inflation Reduction Act, the infrastructure bill in reshaping our economy. And whether that reshaping of our economy ends up building a more inclusive and a more just and a more broadly based economy or ends up reinforcing the trends of the last four decades of narrowing the size of our middle class and expanding the size of those who are at the top and the bottom of our economy is up to whether or not your big bets succeed. On a global basis, the condition is perhaps even more dire and consequential. There are 50 or 60 economies teetering on the edge of a debt crisis. I was just in Kenya where 60 cents on every dollar of public tax revenue is spent on interest payments that go out of the country. And in that context, these nations have to deal with the reality that we are going backwards for the first time, the first three-year period in our post-2000 history on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The goals sound sometimes complicated and they sound sometimes fanciful, but ultimately they're pretty basic. It's a simple idea that everyone everywhere deserves to have some dignity, some opportunity, and the capacity to do something purposeful with their lives. And we're going backwards on the indicators because of the macro environment. So I think the net effect of those realities is that we are not currently building an inclusive economy fast enough at home or around the world. We see that in statistic after statistic that I won't get into. So the question is, what can we do about it? And the reason I'm so excited to be in this room with you is you're already doing it. You're showing that we can take risks with our capitalism, you're showing we can take risks with our capitalism, you're showing we can take risks with our ideas in order to build a better society. I recently wrote a book called Big Vets that is about taking those risks. And I very much hope that book, which describes efforts that range from global vaccination initially instigated in part by leadership from Bill and Melinda Gates in 2020, in the year 2000, to more recent examples of fighting hunger and pandemics under the public administration of President Obama's. To some of the work the Rockefeller Foundation is now doing in energy and did domestically in the United States on testing and COVID. In all of those examples, the book tries to pull out a set of practical actions that make it possible for us together to make a difference at a much greater level of scale. And I too, like you, see the news every day that sometimes makes you feel like, gosh, it's a complex, difficult and unfortunate world out there. But because I've been exposed to you and your work and because I've been exposed to the examples I just described, I know it's realistic to be optimistic about our future. So I want to take a moment and just describe three big bets we're making at the Rockefeller Foundation right now in the spirit of this outstanding SOCAP gathering. The first is the Economic Opportunity Coalition, an effort launched in part with Vice President Kamala Harris a few years ago. It's a historic public-private philanthropic collaboration designed to bring together partners, and I won't list all the partners because there are too many to name, but from banking and technology to financial transactions and the public sector, these partners, private sector partners, have come together to secure more than $1 billion in commitments in just the last year for community lenders nationwide. They're already helping 5 million small businesses access capital, go digital and grow their networks with the focus on women and companies that have entrepreneurs of color. They've launched programs to connect students and students of color in particular to tens of thousands of new high-paying jobs. And just today, the EOC announced two new efforts to build wealth and underserved communities. First, an effort to reach $3 billion in committed deposits from the nation's largest corporations for community lenders, community development financial institutions. The second is a call to all companies to invest more in the technology sector, semiconductors, clean energy, batteries, heavy industry, in a way that will strengthen our domestic supply chains, but also create opportunities for minority-led businesses that are otherwise undercapitalized and left out. The second big bet is a program called invest in our future. Invest in our future is an effort to recognize that between the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Chips and Science Act, we are experiencing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape our economy. There's $3 trillion of public and private investments in those three pieces of legislation taken together. But being honest, most of those benefits are going to go to places that already have growth, already have jobs, already have technology, and already have capital. So invest in our future is a collaboration between the Rockefeller, Hewlett, MacArthur, and Packard foundations that have come together with initial commitments of $60 million over three years to help all communities access the benefits of those pieces of legislation. In fact, just tomorrow, I'll be visiting an electric vehicle plant in the southern part of California to understand the new community benefits agreements that have been negotiated by a group called Jobs to Move America, which helps make sure that these investments in these technology companies are creating jobs that are fair and equitable and accessible to everyone in our country. The program is also making a new investment, and I'm pleased to announce a million-dollar commitment to Elemental Accelerator. Elemental is doing exactly the types of things you all have been talking about these last few days. Investing in companies like DollarRide, an app-based rideshare option for the millions of Americans who aren't adequately served by public transport and who find taxis, ubers, and lifts too costly for their daily needs. DollarRide and its electric fleet will serve areas in New York City that have limited public transit, unlocking $27 million in financing and serving up to 600,000 customers. We're excited to make this initial million-dollar grant to this organization, but we hope they will accelerate that and raise as much as 10 times more for those types of projects. Third and most globally relevant, our foundation has made a $500 million grant two years ago to create a program called the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet. Because it is finally true after many, many years that the renewable energy technology frontier is offering up the technologies and the business models that can reach the billion people on this planet that are trapped in extreme poverty because they still effectively live in the dark. And that $500 million unlocked a billion dollars of other philanthropic commitments from the Bezos Earth Fund and the Ikea Foundation. That billion and a half unlocked another $10 billion from development finance institutions and multilateral development banks. And we're going into this year's COP hoping that our collection of about $11.5 billion dollars will unlock far more private capital to accelerate programs that are already reaching nearly 20 million people in almost 22 countries around the world and that have tremendous capacity to scale if only they had the resources and the risk capital to do so. So I invite all of you to be a part of our Global Energy Alliance, whether you have capital to put in some form of the risk stack or whether you're a technology operator that has a solution that can make the world a better place. I will conclude with just a tremendous thank you to all of you. You've demonstrated your innovative thinkers. You've demonstrated your risk takers and you've demonstrated you care about making the world a better place. You're the reason I wrote the book because I feel like if my kids get to see the energy, the values and the persistence each of you brings to this mission every single day, then instead of being cynical because of all the news they consume, they can be optimistic about the future and inspired to shape it. Thank you.


Howdy how's it going? My name's Davy Chappy and it's my job to talk about things that make it easier for you to turn your brain off because 2021 just ended, but the struggle is not over. Today I'm going to be going over the races presented in Volo's Guide to Monsters, with a bigger focus on the abilities and which classes are good options for set abilities. For lengthy reasons, I'm going to put the monstrous races in their own video and this one will just focus on the intended playable races. As always, keep in mind that the majority of this is just my opinion and if you feel like an arbitrary grab bag of races is a weird choice for a video topic, feel free to play your games however you want. And really quick, I'd like to give a brief shout out to my new patrons this month. Joshua Abrahamson, Beats Orion, 2487, Alistair Crowley, Runaard Odinson. Follow Davy on Twitter. The click-click, Alex. Thank you so much for pledging to my Patreon, it is because of you that I can continue making money off of talking into a microphone and annoying my cat with loud noises. But with that out of the way, let's begin. So first up, when the ASMR isn't interrupting perfectly fair baseball games, it's standing in the front lines and shouting for evil to go away. ASMRs love to be in the thick of it, getting two separate resistances to radiant and necrotic damage as well as a once per long rest pick-me-up heal. I know that I don't put much stock into resistances due to the meta understanding that DMs will just stop throwing enemies at you with those damage types if it gets annoying, but it's interesting that ASMR get two separate resistances that do come up semi-often. Necrotic damage is everywhere in Undead Fights and while radiant damage isn't as common, it's a regular damage type in lower level spells. Range classes can also make use of the resistances, but the nature of being ranged means that you're usually not getting hit as much, ergo, your resistances won't see as much use. Plus, the healing touch is, well, a touch ability, so you won't be near your friends anyway, although there is an argument to be made that any ranged classes would have an easier time getting to the downed allies since they don't have to worry about attacks of opportunity. The ASMR also have access to the light cantrip and dark vision, which kind of serve the same role, but light can be thrown onto somebody else to make them the glowing beacon that gets punched in the face instead. Among all of these races, the ASMR is the only one that gets subrace options, which is probably why it's the one that gets invited to the most parties. Each subrace determines whether you're good, neutral, or angsty, and they give you a power at third level that'll make all the other players jelly. The Protector ASMR pretends to be the responsible one, but they're the first person out of the house when the cops come, igniting spectral wings for a minute and flying around like a chad. Flying is fun and nobody dislikes flying, but in a paradoxical twist, it benefits ranged characters more, because what's the point of flying if you're just going to stop right next to the person anyway? That said, melee combatants can use the wings to sail right over the bruisers and get to the squishy bits hiding in the back, and the wings let you add your level and extra radiant damage to one attack per turn. So no matter what you do, your damage output will be wholly graceful. The Scourge ASMR is neutral in the same way that your one co-worker is neutral. They say that they don't talk politics, and that the first person to go into a violent rant about purification. At third level, Scourges can glow bright for a minute as they take up all the attention in the room, and anybody stuck in the radius of that bright light takes half of the ASMR's level in radiant damage. Unlike the Protector's wings, this only takes a bonus action, so you can prepare your speech about why gingerbread women are the destruction of the West in the time that it takes to run in and start axing people questions. As these types of conversations tend to go, the damage from your radiant aura hurts you as well, and nobody's going to want to be around you unless they're specifically trying to punch your face in, so this sub-race is best played by characters who have enough HP to not buckle under the pressure. I can't see full casters needing this since they're more like keyboard warriors who do their talking from afar, but one of my favorite meme builds is playing a Scourge Warlock with shield and the false life invocation. Activate the aura, cast false life every turn, and then use shield when the room realizes what's happening. You won't be great, but you'll be annoying, and at some point, that just becomes the goal. Lastly, the fallen ASMR heard the emo G-key and knew their fate was sealed. When their power activates, they get the witcher's black eye, spooky scary skeleton wings, and they strike fear into the hearts of anyone who happens to be standing right next to them. They also start dealing necrotic damage just like how the Protector deals radiant damage, and just like the Protector, fallen ASMR can be taken by anybody to different effects. Big tanky people can step in and send groups of enemies running in all directions, and ranged, casty people can save the ability as a get out of jail free card that also doubles as a power boost right after. Just keep in mind that it's an action to activate, so you'll use it and then you'll stand there like a gloomba afterwards unless you got a bonus action. Anyway, that was much to do about the ASMR, but there are still six other races on this list, and I can only make this video so long before Emma asks for a raise, so let's move on to the cow slash giant slash people. For a bulk, have weirded me out for years because I don't really get what they are. Is it a man? Is it a baby? These are legitimate questions. And it extends to the abilities too, because even though they're described as natural druids, they don't do druid things. They can talk to plants. That's it. I can do that too. They also get to detect magic and disguise itself, as well as a short invisibility burst as a bonus action, which would make them really good spies, despite also being massive powerful build monstrosities. Unluckily for me, none of these powers are any good at specifying which combination of abilities might be good for them, because they're all so broad and generic. But with a minor invisibility power combined with disguises and powerful builds, the term stealthy barbarian comes to mind. That said, the less stealthy barbarian would be the goliaths, second cause into the furbolg, only they decided to live in Canada, so now they're really cold all the time. Gliaths get powerful build, resistance to cold damage, proficiency in athletics, and the holy grail of barbarian skills, stones endurance, wherein you use a reaction to reduce incoming damage by 1d12 plus con. This is insanely good for anyone, because it can mean the difference between life and death, but on a barbarian who already cut most damage that hits them in half, the one time that you do get an unlucky crit against you, and the damage rises somewhere in the 20s, you can just say, stones endurance, and all that damage goes away. It's dumb. The other skills are pretty universal, even stones endurance becomes a general panic button in the hands of fighters and wizards alike, because you can only get it once per short rest, so it's not like the tanks will get to spam it. Reficiency in athletics implies a more physical bent, but outside of grappling, no one is using athletics in a fight anyway. And besides, if you want your pick of abilities, you should look at the canku. This bird, parrot thing, gets two skills from a list of acrobatics, deception, stealth, or sleight of hand, destining it to a life of crime. It can also mimic noises which everyone already knows about, but no one knows how to roleplay without getting hospital bills for ear surgery sent to their home. And they have advantage on forging both writing and objects. That last bit, and objects, is one that everyone silently ignores because canku being tinkers, isn't very on-brand. But if a canku artificer gets its hands on somebody else's creations, then you have a pretty good argument for recreating magical items. Everything else is standard, universal stuff, but item mimicry at least adds artificer to the list of like three classes that anybody ever wants to play a canku as. Oh, the lizard folk.  Natural armor? Useless. Don't need it.  The bite attack does 1d6 plus strength, so you're either using a strength-based weapon already, which pretty much all do more than 1d6, or you dump strength, in which case the only thing that the bite attack will be is kinky. The exception is that it can be used once per short rest as a bonus action, and that attack heals you for your con mod. So it's not that you should be using it as an alternative weapon, but as a random bit of extra damage against somebody that you think deserves a hickey. Besides that, you get some extra skills, swimming powers, very good lung capacity, and you can make weapons out of dead people. All of that screams ranger to me, but ultimately, it can be used by anyone. Even the bite attack is useful for casters, not because it'll do damage, but because that little bit of health might be the difference between life and having weapons made out of your body. None of those practical abilities matter, though, compared to the one thing that everybody loves, furries. The tabaxi open the floodgates, and ever since, DMs have had to map out their dungeons twice as long, because it wasn't enough to make a party member that would come to you with a pssspspspspsp. It also had to have useful abilities. Unlike actual D&D cats, the tabaxi get dark vision, as well as a useless natural weapon, proficiency in both perception and stealth, and the option to, at your discretion, double your movement speed to go lightning fast and knock over everything on the table at super speeds. This ability is ridiculous, and you get it back whenever you want, as long as you take a turn to stop moving, and it makes the tabaxi the number one in all speed builds. Tobaxi Monk with mobility. Boom. You're now kit and flash. Much like the other Volos races, there's not much discretion in classes here. Technically the natural weapon could be used to change a monk's fist from bludgeoning to slashing damage, but there are so few scenarios where you'd care to do that that it's just for the flavor. Part of me misses the old ASI bonuses because I could say, Hey, pick this thing, dummy. But now everybody gets freedom, so I have lists to talk about. Onto the last one. Triton is a trite race that doesn't get a lot of coverage because it isn't a a typical high fantasy creature that you'd imagine seeing in an adventuring party, nor is it to be a furry. What it lacks in deviant art, it makes up for by being Aquaman, complete with all the powers of a fish, including talking to them, which again, isn't special. It also gets cold resistance and a few nautical spells in the form of fog cloud, gust of wind, and wall of water, which are spells that are intended to be used during combat. So sorry, barbarian, you're out of the running. The spells are also charisma based, so that narrows down the amount of people who can use them effectively to the bard, paladin, sorcerer, and the warlock. Although, to be fair, that only matters for gust of wind. Fog cloud and water wall don't care about anything. Being honest, a lot of the reason why this race isn't played is because half of these abilities are focused on water. And despite 90% of published adventures taking place on the Sword Coast, exactly one adventure is set in the water, and it isn't even on the Sword Coast. And it isn't even in water, it's just water adjacent.  Buuuut, that'll about do it. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please be sure to like, comment, subscribe, ring that bell, check out all my social media in the description below, and maybe support me on Patreon so that I can bribe Wizards of the Coast to reintroduce ASIs that'll give me more to talk about. But yeah, dev'ya out.


Hugs me, brother! I like soap. You guys aren't mad at each other anymore. We should never have gone in there. It was way too scary. Well, maybe I was right about that. But I should never have gone all mad at you since you were my friend. We could never not be friends. I promise we'll always be the bestest friends in the whole wide world forever. Me too! Hey, speaking of best friends, you know what today is? The 25th? Yep, no way! What's the 25th? The five-year anniversary of when Sam and I first met. Yep. I remember it like it was only five years ago. Hey, I'm Sam. Hi, I'm Carly. Can I have that sandwich? No way! Get your own! So even back then, you were obnoxious and aggressive. Can you believe we became friends over a tuna sandwich? And now you hate tuna. No.  Oh, yeah. Tuna! Tuna! Tuna. Yeah, don't play with it. Since it's our friendship anniversary, I got you a little something. Wait, you got me a present? Ta-da! Ah, you shouldn't have gotten it. Carly T-shirt. Look on the back. So insane. Ah, it's no big deal. Please, I love this. How great are you? I don't know. Very. Look, I'm sorry I forgot your birthday. Sorry it isn't sweet and muddy! One more time? Don't talk to me! If you just let me show you something, I'm sure it'll cheer you up. I've seen the birthmark on your back, Drake. It does not look like a giraffe raking leaves. Oh, not that. These. Yeah? What is this, huh? What are you gonna... Within 24 hours at the local Illinois Lottery Center, go, we go out to school tomorrow. I have a radio in my car. I wouldn't want to be a millionaire without you.  Ah, you're both a couple of ruddy twits. That's it! Grrrr! Good luck tonight, and remember, have fun! Wait a minute. She and Carl, what are we doing? Well, I was about to strangle Carl. Yeah, and I was gonna slap Sheen in the back of the head. Look at us. We're best friends, and ever since we started this band, we've been arguing and fighting. We're so obsessed with becoming rock stars that we've forgotten the real reason we did this. To beat Cindy on the webby! Yeah!


We're kicking off an effort where I'm calling Naval X, Naval Expeditions, right? Expedition is an arduous task where you've got to bring technology and courage and all your MacGyver skills all that together in one place. What this really is is not as much of like a glitzy innovation store as much as a set of capabilities that anybody can access. So the mission of Naval X is to facilitate a set of tools that will provide agility, both flexibility and speed to the department of the Navy at the type of scale that we need in order to be a global competitor. We're going to do that by focusing on empowering the workforce at the lowest possible levels and trying to decentralize the authority and the tools that they need to innovate at the speed and scale that is required. So when I talk about agility, what I'm really focused on is the velocity of an organization and how fast can it seize opportunities as they present themselves, react to a new challenge that comes out, or leverage an idea and get it all the way through the system. So as we think about agility at the scale of the Navy, it's a pretty challenging problem. We've got a lot of folks who are interested in innovation and pushing the envelope. What we really need to do now is tie all that network together. And so if you've got an idea in the Navy, you can find other folks who are thinking about the same thing and then get access to the tools to push that idea forward. If we can do that, then we've got an agile Navy. When somebody comes up with a good idea somewhere out in the fleet, anywhere across the department of the Navy, when they fight to make it a reality, they find their way through regulation, through authority, through finding something that actually works, which can be a long process on each of those. When they finally get to a place where it does the thing they want it to do, they're probably not the only person with that problem and nobody else should ever have to do that upfront work ever again to get there. If that person could teach everybody if we could get the whole department of the Navy in one room and have them ask, that looks really useful, how do I get that, and have them just explain it, that's way easier than having to do all that experimentation on the front end. NavalX is responsible for propagating, for sharing all of that understanding, which has arrived at a state of being proven, of being useful, to everybody who needs it as fast as humanly possible. Anybody in the department of the Navy who is trying to do something and thinks that there might be a better way to do it, we're here for you. Yeah, so as a young junior officer, I remember trying things that, to me, felt like I was taking great risk and if I had had some tools or even social media back then to make connections with other supply officers at sea or supply officers on shore, I could have probably taken a few bigger risks that would have landed me some great success with my divisions. Those things that keep us from communicating, sometimes keep us from succeeding. I really considered an empowering mission to empower not only innovators or people who want to make things better, but to empower the people that don't want to innovate. But how do we show them the easier way to do this? Because a lot of our force, they're already maxed out on their time. They're already maxed out on what they're doing. And if we can provide a better way to do it, it gives them a better product and takes less time, that would be the mission. I think that NavalX is, and this might be a self-serving, but I think it's needed, and I don't think it's something that we've really seen much of. I think we get a lot of top-down sort of here, go do this, and then it gets bogged down in our management levels. And I think something like this would be able to bring in the people from the fleet and the civilian side that are working on the same sort of problems and actually able to make those solutions a little easier, because we actually decided to say, hey, you guys in the fleet, what can we do on this product that you're going to have to end up using? How can we make that better for you? And I think NavalX will be able to not only digitally connect those people, but physically connect those people in the spaces like NavalX is trying to put together.


without the tail just keeps on hiding out and whenever this one tries to leave he comes out and pins them again yeah the other one was trying to leave but this one just came out again and just went nope you're not leaving


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a sky CPX to RD the RD stands for red dots guy created a red dot series that is available on all their handgun So here is the CPX to then the CPX one both in 9 millimeter CPX one has a thumb safety also with their 380 models Here's the CPX 3 this will be available with a red dot and the CPX for with a thumb safety One of the reasons why I've avoided red dots on my carry guns on many of my optic ready guns is primarily because of the price You look at the amount you pay for the gun itself, you know typically three to six hundred dollars and then the optic will cost Just about the same amount and so you add that up and get very pricey now. I know a lot of people like it They say, you know, you just point that dot at your target and you pull the trigger And you're pretty dead nuts and a lot of people are going in that direction, but it is an expensive Venture, but we look at this model here. Sky enjoys a fine reputation. Every time I feature a sky I get many positive comments back. It's a budget gun crimson trace CTS 1500 included Retails with this model 339 now that's a price I could live with the 380 models with the the same exact optic 349 so they kept this whole package in The budget category and I think many people who love sky and many people who just want You know, they want to try out an optic and a handgun They've been hearing a lot about it a lot of companies are making optic ready They don't know what to think. This would be a good way to go for Initially to see see how well you like it and maybe just stick with it But here it is the CPX 2 it has a double stack 10 round magazine comes with 2 you can pick these up for 200 bucks It's very much a budget gun does have a 3.1 inch barrel All right, and what's very interesting. We look at the sights is is that this optic we're gonna talk more about this But this optic has a rear sight Embedded right in the optic itself. So there you've got the rear sight Large front dot and there you go. This is an unloaded firearm It's known for having a double-action hammer fired. You see the hammer right there It's a double-action hammer fired the brakes right around eight and a half to nine pounds And it's it's a bit of it's kind of like a revolver pull to it But that's what you're looking at. It doesn't matter, you know Being that a tamer fire that the slide has to action to reset the hit trigger not at all But it does have slight finger grooves one cool thing is that with this 10 round magazine It does have extension there for full three finger contact on the gun there it is and Then the 380 models have the quad lock system that I explained I shot it at the range I did very well with that a Hammer fired gun Now the optic itself is a crimson trace 1500 or CTS 1500 if you go to their site You will not see this optic on there. Okay the crimson trace site They made this proprietary to the sky handguns or for the sky handguns, which is pretty cool And one thing that I found very unique is that the only adjustments are the The windage and the elevation adjustments it comes mounted just like this It does have a protective cap that goes on just like that and the dot is on Continuously it's auto dimming this dot this 3.5 MOA dot is always on so you don't have to worry about You know when you're getting ready to go out for the day to you know Make sure that you're all set firearm in holster. Oh, yeah I have to flip this switch to make sure the dot is on it is always on which leads to the next question How long is the battery life? Well? Crimson trace is saying 20,000 hours, which with the help of the internet. I did the math. I didn't do the math 833 days so over two years with a single battery 20 32 battery and It is always on and I don't think it'll pick up on the camera But I tell you what when you're live that that dot just kind of jumps out at you And we'll have to see if I have to site it in it all it does come with an Allen wrench And I'll be able to do that but that's about it. You know, it's it's nice clear glass. It's a crimson trace and I I'm pretty happy with the package and I think sky really priced it well. We'll go ahead and take a look at The internals and then we'll put it on the scale and we'll wrap this thing up to this is some of this guy It's really simple. Just lock the slide back. All right, and we're going to take a round I'm pretty much take anything to pull this pin out and then no need to pull the trigger at all Just off comes the slide. All right, you do have some metal inserts all throughout the frame itself and we have a Captured recoil spring and guide rod and here is the 3.1 inch barrel And there is the optic itself All right feels heavy-duty. You know the one thing, you know people baby their optics, and I'm no different I baby the optics always worried.  You don't want to want to mess up the glass at all and that makes complete sense, but You know, you don't have to worry about it too much there now when you reassemble this you want that just a little over an inch That's the way I typically do it. I keep it just around an Inch put that in there and you are good to go. Let's go ahead and get it on the scale Then we'll wrap this thing up here. We have an unloaded Sky we have an unloaded magazine and it's weighing in 17 and an 8th ounce, but we'll go ahead and put 10 rounds in here 21 and a quarter there's your carry-around for 11 21 and 3 quarter ounces. So there it is Sky Cpx 2 RD. It's the red dot series that you're going to see more and more. It's available on all their handguns It's priced well and this is what it's going to take for me to get into Red dots, especially with the carry gun. We'll see how that goes but I do like and think that this package is priced well, it's priced for the working man and It's going to be available. Actually, it's available right now Go ahead and check it out and see if you're interested and let me know what you think If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


The study found that different weight gain trajectories exist depending on a woman's pre-pregnancy body mass index, BMI, and other factors such as parity in age. Underweight, Normal Weight, Overweight, and obese women who gain between 8.4kg and 11.1kg, 6.4kg to 9.1kg, 3.8kg to 6.5kg, and less than 1.9kg at 30 weeks of gestation are on track to meet the new guidelines at 40 weeks of gestation. This information can be useful for pregnant women to monitor their weight during pregnancy. This article was authored by Naho Morisaki, Oralee Piedwijk, C.H.I.G. Morakuma, and others.
