Welcome back everyone. In our previous video, we saw how we could actually take a geometric series and find a rational function for which it represents. But typically the direction is going to go the other way around. If we start off with a rational function, can we find a geometric series which represents it? And on what values of x does it represent? What is the associated interval of convergence? The interval of convergence will give us where does the rational function equal its power series representation? So we we have to play around with the geometric series formula, right? So we get this a over 1 minus r is equal to our geometric series, right? Which simplifying, simplifying just one thing here, if we start the series at n equals 0, if we start this at n equals 0, then we're going to get that as the sum goes from n equals 0 to infinity, we're going to get r to the n and this will equal 1 over 1 minus r. And so that's this is this is the basic template we're going to use to try to force things to work in our favor right here. So comparing comparing this original rational function with our target rational function here, we see that we want to take this positive x squared and set that equal to negative r. That is to say we need that x squared equals negative r and that's because of the disconnect. We have a positive here and a minus there or in other words, we should say that r is equal to negative x squared. And so we make that substitution. With that substitution in mind, we see that 1 plus 1 over 1 plus x squared is equal to the geometric series starting at n equals 0, unless you have a strong reason to do otherwise start your geometric series at 0. We're going to take the sum from n equals 0 to infinity and we replace the r with a negative x squared and then this will be raised to the nth power. And that's that's all really have to get here and in which case we can simplify it a little bit n equals 0 to infinity of the sum. We're going to get negative 1 to the n times x to the 2n. So notice this is going to be an alternating series, an alternating geometric series in expanded form. This would look like 1 minus x squared plus x to the 4th minus x to the 6th plus x to the 4th, 8th minus x to the 10th. And then the pattern just kind of continues on and on and on and on here. Notice what we're getting is we're getting this infinite series where the coefficient is always positive or negative, positive negative, it will alternate positive, negative, positive, negative, positive, negative. And we also only grab the even powers of x. So we don't have any odd powers. So we have x to the 0x squared, x to the 4th, x to the 6th, etc, etc, etc. And so this is the general formula for our geometric series. We can see it right here. But as it sometimes is useful, we can write in an expanded form like this. But even still we still have to figure out where is equality here, where is equality hold. Sometimes we use this equal sign very, very loosely right with functions because these variables x, but equality can only happen when the left side and the left side are both defined. Now the left hand side right here, it's it's defined for any real number x, but this geometric series on the other hand, it's only defined for certain values of x, its interval of convergence. Now because of our ratio being negative x squared, we can see very quickly that we want the absolute value of r, aka negative x squared. We want this to be less than one. Well, since you're taking absolute value, the the negative sign really does nothing here. We need the absolute value of x squared to be less than one. And again, if you're squaring, or if you take the absolute value of a square, that's the same thing as the square of the absolute value in which case be the absolute value of x to be less than one. When we take the square root of both sides, so we still need that x needs to be between negative one and one, or in other words, the interval of convergence is from negative one to one. I do want to mention that when it comes to a geometric series, a geometric power series, we don't actually need to use the ratio test to find the radius of convergence, because it is a geometric series. The radius of convergence is always going to be derived from this observation, the absolute value of r is less than one. And that typically leads to a simpler calculation than what's associated with the ratio test. And so what we've now done is we found a power series representation, it's right here, for our function one over one plus x squared. And we know that this equality will be valid so long as x is between negative one and one.

Good morning guys, happy Saturday. We're about to pop some champagne and get this day started. You got it, Char. You got it, it's fine. I always open these wrongs. I'm really trying to do it this time. Oh, it's the fancy schmancy. I know it is. Oh, sh... It's so carpeted. Yay. I've had it for like a year. Yay. So today is the day that we go back to our sorority house and that is one of the main reasons I'm back in Orlando, back in my college town. If you guys are new to my channel, I went to UCF, Reppin, and Reppin on our old glasses. So cute. And the other reason is because I had to get my Invisalign trays.  So, um, Kailin's gonna join us in a few minutes and then we're gonna see everyone at Katie and it's gonna be so fun. I just graduated in May and I was a capital at UCF. I was super involved so I was like low key obsessed, still low key am. I'm wearing my AOT necklace. So if you guys are a capital to comment AOT. I hope on the top. Really? I left the tin foil on too long because I forgot. Oh. Well, we can put it in there for longer, I guess. Okay, go for $500. We made breakfast casserole last night. I'm with Kailin. We all here. We're ready to party. Not really, that's for tonight. But we are all ready. We made breakfast casserole. Make your mimosa. Yeah, are you guys gonna have it? Yeah. Okay. Y'all, we did it. Our breakfast casserole. It's beautiful. How big do you want it? Wait, do you want to keep going? Um, no, that's fine. Turn. Yeah, turn. Oh, it's like juicy. I don't know. But where'd you guys get this recipe? I don't know. Charlotte. And they kept it in the fridge overnight. Megan was so skeptical. She was like, how does that? Just eggs and milk, tater tots, bacon. Okay, but the milk went in the eggs and then it was fluffy.  No, Charlotte got it. Charlotte, did you get this from Pinterest? Okay, so you're gonna get all of me? I got it from Pinterest. The rose should take interest. So that's what Megan said. And you said you just put some in the bin. I am giving Skylar my little for Josie today. So wish me luck. She accepts it. It's like I'm giving like a rose. Bachelor. All right, ladies, let's go. Six minutes late. We are driving down university and it's gonna be so weird to be back on campus. I might be a little dramatic. It's been three months. I feel like there's still so much like construction that happens in three months. Like the hotel over here. Yeah, hogs. I know.  They painted like orange, red, and blue. And they built this hotel across it from Plaza. They're like, it's all the way up. I know, isn't it crazy? Yeah, it's a hotel. Have y'all been to campus? Like since? Well, Charlotte has, but... I know. I know. Yeah. I have not since the day of graduation. Yeah, same. So weird. Oh my gosh, they have the tents. They have the tents for her. Wait, Sada's like, that's a different color. Renovated that way. Whoa. Yay! Then, ladies and gentlemen, Harry wasn't it? They have this cute little new wall. So, it's capital, it's super cute. Same. How score that they needed a path. And of course, of course they do it right when I graduate. All right. How score I see you. I love you, but God, come on. So, we just watched the philanthropy video that I made. So, I'll try to link it down below when it's up. It might not be up when I put this video up, but we'll see. I'll link it down below as well as the rest of my video I made. But y'all, it is live. The recruitment video and the philanthropy video are linked in the description down below, or you can type in into YouTube's Sinali Productions. And you will find the videos there. And I will also link down below last year's philanthropy video and recruitment video that I also made. So, check them out. I'm super proud of them. And I think you guys are going to love them. Yeah, so we're outside. We're about to go in and act like the PNMs. And the sisters are going to act like the sisters. Kind of do the whole philanthropy day, I think. It's time. It's beautiful. Love that. It's painted. What's it green in here? It used to be green with green couches. It's very bohemian. Love it. Oh, yeah. Oh, how cute. To a greater and better capitol ta. So cute. I've never had a coffee table. But I mean, it's simple like a third table over there though. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, a table there. I mean, these bras are good. I think it's so cute how they stack. I like it. Like, I didn't know that could be a thing. So trendy. I'm so impressed. These new couches, like, if y'all ever came to Katie, you know, no offense. The couches were a little out of style. It looks so good. Yes, I agree. It's not as dark. Yeah, like, even like, just books on the shelf. Yeah, I think those books were definitely theirs. Like, that rose thing was there. That plant thing was there. Yeah, I'm just very impressed, honestly. Oh, yeah, true. Oh, we love that. So impressed. She did a great job. So I went Haley Travis. The Haley Travis got her. Remember it. Yeah. I'm about to tour my old room, which was the presents suite. I'm nervous. It's so different. I know. I know. I saw it on Snapchat and I'm so excited to show y'all because, honestly, I love the layout that they did. Hi, it's me again. So I just wanted to let you know that I'll be linking down my sorority dorm tour videos. And specifically, I want y'all to see this room because I had it last year, the presents suite. And I want you guys to see the differences. It's major, so it's very interesting. And I will also be linking down a full sorority house tour so you can actually see the before of the PBR, which is our TB room downstairs. Wow. All right, desks over here. Beds are over here. I know. If y'all remember, the bed was like that way. Tiff's bed was that way. And then my bed was like this way. Wait, right? Oh, OK. My bed was this way. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, so this is kind of like the setup. It looks so much more open. They have like a couch over there. I'm obsessed. And then the desk and they even have a TV. Like, what the heck? So Jenny was actually my sweet mate last year. So I lived here and Jenny lived all the way over there. And Jenny's the president right now, so she lives here. So she took this from my room. She bought it for me. And then she took the card thing. I don't know if you can see it. It doesn't look as good as she took that thing. And then Ryan actually made these two summers ago. So she bought those. Yeah, check out this tutorial. Link it down below. That one. That's so cute. That's so funny that I could see all my, like, old things in our fridge.  We're in another room now. And these are actually shelves that Ryan made too. But Tiff sold hers to, I guess, whoever lives in here, Kira. And I have mine. I have mine in, like, my room back in Texas. But yeah, those are so cute. Oh, I miss decorating, like, all Katie stuff, like, in my room. I'm like spending so much time decorating my room in, like, Hawthorne, and no one's gonna see that. Yeah. She put her own thing in here. Oh my God, that's so cute. Whoa, oh my God. That's insane.  Her dad's under her bed. Wait, Diana. Brian. Yeah, Diana. Oh my God, that's amazing. Ryan, if you're seeing this video, step it up, please. There's, like, a plug. What the heck? That's so cool. Okay, this room is probably my favorite. They, Brian always decorates really well. Okay, I'm gonna do an overview. I think a plant's in, like, the color. Yeah, no. Is it a plant she brought from home? Oh my God. Diana's such a, like, earthy girl. I love it. I did her, yeah. Diana's the recruitment chair of the year. So, if you're going through the recruitment, you'll definitely see her. She works at Free People? I thought she works at Ferama. Oh my God, y'all swear. This is so funny. Those are my headboards. And this is- I still have you in every room. Yeah, there really is. I love it. I wonder if it's gonna get recycled, like, throughout the years. Like, yeah. No, okay, wait. I'm confused. Those are definitely, like, the ones that I made. I don't know. Maybe somebody else made it, like, the ones, but yeah. I think those are yours. Yeah. They may be folded. Now it's picture time and the Katie lighting. So, we are at Wendy's because these spicy chicken nuggets are back. Hopefully they are back. And Ryan literally got it because it was free with favor. And so, I was craving them. And we're gonna try them. Well, I've had them before, but haven't had them in so long. So, should be good. We got the goods, y'all. You like it, Shar? Is this your first time having it? I think I've had it in the camera. Yeah. So, it is currently 7.51, and we are gonna go out downtown later on, but all of our friends are coming over. And we told them 7.30, but we knew they were gonna be late. I was really. I know. We were so shocked. Actually, I said something about that. Like, you guys are really good separately. You guys both get on time. I'm glad you got on time. I'm sure all those. They were just you together. Yeah, because then we're like, oh, are you late ready? And then we're like, no. And then we're like, okay, go ahead and be either. And then it's just like, are you almost ready? Yeah, maybe, too. Just like three more things. Yeah, I feel like we're just going back and forth like little things.  Yeah. Okay, well, if you're doing that, like, I'll go fix that. Yeah, I feel that. If you're doing that, I'll go do this. I feel that.  This is so cute. Ooh, we love it.  Yes, we love you too. It's not like, can you do your laugh for the vlog? I'll give this a no. This is going to last forever. She's feeling herself. Okay, we're going out. We'll probably end up at snap. Gonna visit our girls. It's not ending now. I want you to use. I thought it was ending now. You said we were going out. Well, yeah, but it'll be going out snap.

Penguin Random House Audio presents Wrath of Poseidon by Clive Cussler and Robin Berceau Red View by Scott Brick Prologue 1 Sardis, Persian Empire, 546 B.C. The steep acropolis of Sardis loomed against the night sky, while far below at the city's edge, flames consumed the reed-thanched buildings. The Mazaris, dispatched by King Cyrus II of Persia the moment he'd learned of the revolt, had ridden through the night, leading a unit of armed heavy cavalry. According to the Imperial messenger, the Ionian mercenaries were sent to spark the revolt and dawn. Apparently, they'd gotten an early start. Fools! Artaban, his lieutenant, called out over the sound of hooves as the horses neared the gates. A wooden building exploded near the gold-refining works. Do they not realize that Cyrus will crush them? There is nothing left to crush, Mazaris shouted. I'm surprised that there's anything left to burn. It was the second time they'd marched upon Sardis. The first was when King Cyrus's army had broken the siege of the wealthy Lydian capital, captured its king, Crisis, then plundered his vast treasury. If not for this revolt, Mazaris would be accompanying the bulk of Crisis's treasure back to Akbatana. The quicker we quell this rebellion, the sooner we get home. He eyed the flames swirling from several structures just outside the gates. As they neared the inferno, Mazaris realized the purpose of the fires. He and his horsemen were almost blinded, waiting for them, the insurgents, with their backs to the blaze, had the advantage. Within moments, Cyrus's cavalry was attacked by a shadow army of soldiers armed with spears, axes, and swords. Dividing his men into two flanks, Mazaris led the left, Artaban the right. The deafening clash of metal rang through the night as his horsemen, blinded by the flames, battled the unseen enemy. Mazaris thrust at an armed silhouette. His blade struck something solid—the rebels' shield. Shouting, Mazaris ordered his left flank to close in, while Artaban did the same with the right, sweeping in behind the rebels, who suddenly found themselves sandwiched between both flanks. Spurring his horse to rear, Mazaris blocked the thrust of a spear and drove his blade into his opponent's chest, piercing through the man's inadequate armor. Pulling his sword free, he wheeled his mount to the right, then swung at the next man, felling him as well. Within minutes, it was over. The insurrectionists fled. The flames of the wooden structures, no longer being fed, began to die as a— Sample complete. Ready to continue?


And what happens in these moments, whether it's in our X-Factor Accelerator or in the bootcamp, is there's laughter, there's energy added to these moments that allows them to self-reflect and go, but that was so much more fun than feeling awkward or stuck or frozen or not participating. So that reaction from the rest of the group reinforces, hey, this other way of thinking can help me in this area. What's up everybody and welcome to the show today. We drop great content each and every week and we want to make sure that you guys get notified and in order to do that, you're going to have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell. And if you've gotten a lot of value out of this, make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends. Well, a big part for us in the group training aspect is the reflection back from other members of the program. And that's so important because oftentimes the self-criticism, if it's running non-stop and it's never countered with any real evidence, it can overrun the way you view things. And then it takes other members in the program sharing, no, you were funny in that moment, or that was an awesome conversation that we had. And I really enjoyed that. And wow, you're so charismatic to break through that self-criticism that is overriding their ability to just have a bit more fun in an interaction, let loose, be more open, as we said. It also gives them an opportunity to see the way that they think in the context of the games that are being played. Now, the way that they, for a lot of our clients, you could say that they're very analytical. They work in problem-solving fields. They're engineers. They're programmers. And so that mindset of getting things perfect works really well when you're engineering, when you're building a bridge, when you're putting something together or you're looking for flaws in things. It's amazing. It's kind of essential. Thankfully. Of course. But that same mindset doesn't work so well in a creative realm where you have to be able to let things go and develop. And I always get excited when we're about to do the improv sessions because I know it is going to frustrate a lot of the folks that come in because they're going to try to use the mindset that they've been so successful in life with. But it's also the mindset that has had them lacking in certain areas, why they're they're in our class and what they're looking to approve upon. And what's great about improv, and especially if you have a great improv teacher as we do, where they won't allow the thinking to happen.  The only way to allow the game to progress is to put on their creative and be-in-the-moment hat. And that's when they start to for the first time see that they can use a different mindset, a different thinking process that will allow them to be successful in that context. And as AJ said, once they start getting some laughs where they realize that they were better in that scenario than they thought they were going to be, that gives them an opportunity then to dive into it more. And we've brought improv into our classes because we know the benefits of it and we thought if they had a taste of it here and saw its benefits that then they would go out into the world and pursue that more so that they can be in an environment that forces them to switch that hat. Because they'll just go home and go back into their analytical problem-solving mindsets that again allow them to be successful work but not so much in the in the connection realm. That analytical skill is as you say essential in building a bridge or doing a financial report and you kind of need to have the numbers right in those kinds of things but it doesn't work in leading people at all because you can't just solve human problems by trying to work them out in your head. Unfortunately they're not maths equations. As Kelly Wilson likes to say you know about his clients, you know we need to appreciate them like sunsets.  You just go wow look at that. And we need to be you know humans have that element of chaos about them they're unpredictable so yeah we can't solve them like maths problems. And when we're criticizing ourselves in that way we're actually trying to solve ourselves like maths problems too actually. We're treating ourselves like a problem to be solved and if I could just critique myself more and control my performance tighter I can ensure that I feel okay but it just doesn't work out that way. And I love the way your improv classes you know they introduce that an alternative way. I would say though that it's probably not going to it doesn't replace the other way it provides an alternative way of looking interacting and so it gives people more greater flexibility and hopefully a greater range of options about how they can like react to the things that are going on in their lives. That loop though of like going back to I need to solve this I need to critique myself I need to nail down and bolt down all aspects of my behavior to make sure it's perfect to make sure I'm okay. That will save they keep reinforcing that so you give this beautiful opportunity for them to just step outside of that and then I imagine that you have you see you would then want to link that to like a why why would they keep wanting to go down that path because they need to have some ways that that's like reinforced ways that they just like know like are encouraged to keep going down that path. We drop great content each and every week and we want to make sure that you guys get notified and in order to do that you're gonna have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell and if you've gotten a lot of value out of this make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends. Absolutely and it's it's a night and day difference it's the difference between an awkward conversation where they feel stuck or trapped not knowing what to say or do because they don't want to fail versus and we're gonna we love act and the first principle is acceptance this idea that underpins all of improv which is yes and whatever happens you have to accept it and then add to it so in a conversation you have to accept the mistakes and add to it and keep trucking and keep moving along and what happens in these moments whether it's in our x-factor accelerator or in the bootcamp is there's laughter there's energy added to these moments that allows them to self-reflect and go but that was so much more fun than feeling awkward or stuck or frozen or not participating so that reaction from the rest of the group reinforces hey this other way of thinking can help me in this area it's not to say hey don't go into work and yes and your way through a financial report probably not going to be very helpful but when you start to see people react to you differently and you start to feel that energy back and all of a sudden you're not internally feeling awkward you start to accept hey this this way of being an improv and this idea of yes and is a concept that's applicable in relationships yeah absolutely then there's a felt like you sort of you talk about the fun and there's a playfulness in that there's like a a felt sense of that in your body isn't there like some people would say there's like a lightness to that they feel an energy versus when they're really stuck in a loop of self-criticism and trying to avoid failure there's a real tension and tightness and heaviness and I imagine the energy in the room is huge when you're doing this stuff but giving people that a felt experience because you can do your work and you can feel that lightness that passion that's probably where they started you know your clients were drawn to doing a certain type of work because they found it interesting or maybe not all of them you know but then they they felt curious about it in some way and if they don't feel curious and they don't enjoy their work then maybe that's not the right work I would say but you'd like to think that people can find a career where they're genuinely interested like I'm just fascinated by people I find people endlessly interesting not always into personally sometimes the theory of it too you know but I just never kind of get tired of that doing that work so I feel like a joy in doing this work and that's what you're capturing so that's that healthy striving that like I love doing this work I feel really excited by it I feel energized towards it yeah sometimes it's hard and I don't love admin but you know so there's elements of that that I don't enjoy overall I can keep tapping into this sense of like joy and that's that that's a flexible way of you know living your life really isn't it I mean I appreciate that's a very privileged position too yeah like a lot of people just have to work because they have to work like I appreciate it I'm very privileged and I was gonna say I think in a lot of ways we introduce this concept of psychological flexibility in our programs to a lot of our students unfortunately many of them are in career tracks that yes they have immense aptitude for but a lot of times they were pushed by their parents or by school or they rushed into it because they didn't really get to experience much else of life and for a lot of our clients you know you you start out in school you start doing well in math or science you get placed into advanced classes all of a sudden you're getting recognized for the perfection in that area it feels good then your family's reinforcing okay you got to be a doctor you got to be a lawyer you got to be an engineer to be successful and then they get through their 20s and 30s and they they realize okay I've sacrificed a lot for this career but is this where I'm finding meaning is this really tapping into my truest potential and oftentimes they haven't been flexible in their life they've been inflexible in thinking that this is the path sticking with it and then they do improv with us they come through the program they unlock their own x-factor of what really gives them that lightness that joy that happiness and sometimes our clients go and switch careers they started a side hustle into a business where they go and they want to go teach and coach and help others because the numbers the math the science isn't as interesting anymore what you touched on was was something that Johnny and I recognize and and one of the things we love the most about the work that we do is we'll often hear from clients in the weeks following their program that people will ask what what did you do in Las Vegas what what is this thing that's going on because they're carrying themselves lighter like a weight has been lifted off physically lifted off their shoulders because they've been so self-critical so full of doubt and they're wearing that openly in their body language others are picking up on that energy and others are avoiding them because of that energy and all of a sudden they're standing taller they're showcasing a bit more of a smile they're adding a bit more humor instead of their dry analysis to a conversation and people are like did you get a new haircut are you working with a stylist did you start losing some weight and it's a change that's happening internally but it's being expressed outwardly and people pick up on it


African drums are talking. A message booms through the night. Black warriors steel from their hutts and slink silently by secret paths to the hidden juju grove. One by one they take their place around the altar, shining ebony bodies, statues of silence squatting in the flickering light of the sacrificial fire. The witch doctor rises. The drum falters, changes its note, and the faster, wilder rhythm causes the circle of black bodies to sway to its urge. This is Africa. After an old woman has warned them repeatedly to beware the eyes of the moon, the professor's party makes its way through the long grass toward a village where ceremonial drums are beating. The natives are grouped around a huge fire. A beautiful girl wearing a leopard skin that hangs from her head and down her back is moving with cat-like steps in a ceremonial dance. She is the witch of the moon. Before their eyes, she is apparently changed into a leopard, and the beast charges toward the waters in the shadow. The animal bounds between them and pauses, snarling. It eyes the party one by one, but seeing Jack, the snarls turn to cat-like purrs. Lorna's voice calling for Jack to shoot angers the beast and it bounds away again, snarling. Then out of the long grass where the leopard disappears comes the beautiful girl. She speaks to the party, looks at Jack with a strange look, then leaves them to enter again the native circle. Jack seems to be in a trance. He tries to follow the girl, saying that her eyes had commanded him to do so, but Nguro holds him back. Steady, Jack. Steady. Let me go, I tell you. It was written on the moon. I saw it. Her eyes told me... Buana, moon witch evil, I look for little Buana. Let me go. Why do you wear a fear? Jack, dear, look at me. Tell this man to let me go. Don't worry, Lorna. It's a fever. It's up all sorts of imaginings. But the woman and that leopard, her eyes were exactly the same as the animals when it looked at it. Yes. Her eyes. The old woman told us to beware the eyes of the moon and they call that girl the witch of the moon. Yes. Yes, I... I told her. Her eyes. Buana. Little Buana. Our wazy. Go sleep. Jack's fainted. We'll have to get him into a hut and doctor him. The girl's beckoned into us, father. She spoke to the witch doctor, then raised her arm in this direction. Yes, she's calling us again. Can you carry Jack on, Nguro? All right, I'll lead the way. You follow behind me, Lorna. Come on. Whatever you do, don't show fear. Keep your head up high. All right, father. I'm making a path through the circle for us. Keep looking straight ahead as we go through. Oh, white man. And strangers are not welcome at this season. But my father told me of your coming and I have made preparation. Your father has eyes at sea into the future, woman. Tell me his name. He lived in the hole in the sky through which Shimba and Shamba watches the earth. And his name in your tongue is called the Moon. Then his eyes are indeed far-seeing. This man here is Milini, the witch doctor. I see you, Milini. I see you, white man. His medicines are powerful and his knowledge is great. Let him attend to this sick man. Oh, go. But I see that Milini himself is sick. His arm has a wound close to the shoulder. I have a medicine that is powerful in such cases. Let my sick man be taken to a hut where my daughter may care for him. And I will bind Milini's arm so that the stiffness will go from it. The Shema Hayo. It is well. Follow me and Milini will come to the hut for your medicine. God. Did you see that wound in the witch doctor's arm? Unless I'm very much mistaken, a rifle bullet did that not two hours ago. You think someone shot him purposely? Maybe. Probably there are some more white people around here besides us. But we'd have heard the shot if it had happened within the last two hours. Yeah, I guess we would have at that. Drums have stopped. I guess the ceremony is over. This is the hut that has been prepared for you. The next hut has been made ready for the woman according to the white man's custom. By what name are you called? I am called Ifabi, daughter of the moon. Ifabi, you have learned the customs of the white man well. Who has taught you? Am I not the daughter of the moon? And does my father not know the customs of all people of the earth? Yes, maybe so. There's an oil lamp burning in here.  Well, Guru, put Jack on that bed. Take his boots off and wrap him in those blankets. Open the medicine kit, Lana. Ifabi, you will send a boy with boiling water for Malini when he is ready. Yes. White man, there is a law which you will keep while you stay in our hut. And that is? No leopard shall be killed unless it attacks. Why is that? They are our men. I go for Malini. Did you hear what she said? The leopard shall their men folk. Oh, oh, oh, it's hot in here. Oh, Jack, dear, do you feel better? Yes, I go to sleep. Gosh, I don't want these blankets. No, no, no, no, stay where you are, Jack. Here, drink this. These blankets, sir, I don't need them. I'm afraid you do, my boy. You've been out for the last half hour. Oh? What do you mean? Yes, there is something wrong. I don't recognize this place. Drink the medicine, Jack. You can think afterwards. Yes. Oh, that's vile stuff. Well, I didn't have time to call at the drugstore for flavoring my boy. You don't have to kid me, sir. I'm beginning to remember things. But which doctor? That woman who changed into a leopard. We really hear what matters. Oh, bring him in. Tell him to sit over there. The water? It is here. Shusha and Gemma, troka. I see the young white man is well again. Yes, I... I hope I didn't cause much trouble. N'Guro carried you in there. How do you feel now? Fine, just as if I'd had a good sleep. It is well for men to sleep when the moon is full grown. Lasti-fabi, steal the brain... Uri-rati-tulia! Lidini is sick from his wounds. He speaks of the ceremony. Is the white man's medicine good, Lidini? It has a devil in it that burns. This is the clean bullet holes of the flesh. Didn't touch the bone.  What man's gun did this, Lidini? The white man should know Lidini was standing in the mouth of the cave when his gun spoke. Father, you remember? The leopard. Yes, of course, but good heavens. Give me a bandage, Lana. Don't stand there looking like... No, no, no, no, no. A wider one. That's better. Good thing this wound is fairly clean. Where's N'Guro? He slipped out just now. The great black warrior is talking with his devils in the forest. He has a devil that shines when he speaks. Yeah, that's not a fiction, Lidini. They turn to Mora when the sun is three hours old. The medicine will grow weak. I will make it strong again. The white man's gun will speak at no more leopard. No, that is... They will not attack. Lidini will make Ndowa. Oh, Fobby? Yes, white man. What do the people say to our coming? They look upon you as sacred. Seeing that I, Fobby, brought you out of nowhere. Hmm. Well, that's that. Well, we've got some time to think. I'm sorry I was so abrupt just now, Lana. Although we mustn't let these happenings get into our brains.  Yes, sir, I know. Remember what I told you quite some time ago? Accept Africa, and Africa will accept you. Many men have gone mad because their ego has been turned upside down and inside out by witnessing such things inexplicable things as we've seen tonight. Yes, but, Father... I know, the whole thing is preposterous to us. Let's discuss these happenings as cold facts. You feel up to it, Jack? Yes, I feel as good as ever. All right, then. In the first place, we know that this place was prepared for us. We saw no one except leopards on the way here. Cats were everywhere. Now, what did you notice about the woman, Fobby? When she was apparently changed into a leopard. Well, she was put into that coffin-like box in which Doctor put the cover on it. Then those leopard men carried the box to the fire. Just a minute. The box was left lying there for a few minutes before they picked it up. Yes, they performed some rites around it. Good. Then they picked it up and took it to the fire and, with a long stick, shoved it into the fire. Yes. Well, go on. What did you see next? Well, a leopard screamed and jumped out of the fire. Yeah, yeah. All right. The next part is very vivid and yet decidedly muddled. The beast came straight to where we were hiding and stopped looking at it. Jack, when it started walking toward you, making that purring noise, what do you remember? What impressions did you get? Her eyes, they seemed to... Oh, it's also idiotic, sir. They were yellow and slanting, and yet they... Yet they were the eyes of a woman. Yes. Well, that's enough for the present. Come on, Lana. I will long to your hut with you. Let's get some rest. All right, Father. Good night, Jack. Good night, dear. You won't have to worry, I guess. Guru will camp on your doorstep tonight. I hope he does. I'll feel safer. Good night. Good night, dear. The moon is still bright. Somehow I... Father. Look, that leopard sitting looking at it. Those yellow eyes. It's going to spring.


Hello everyone. I am Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. In this video, I'm going to demonstrate a scenario based on record trigger flow. Let's understand the requirement for record trigger flow scenario. So I'm going to demonstrate how you can create scheduled path in flow. So the requirement is we need to create a contact once an account is created. This contact will be created immediately on account creation. Then we need to create an opportunity one day after an account record is created. So that will be happened with the help of scheduled path. So now jumping to the org. So I'm going to create this flow for you so that you can understand the working off schedule path. So I'm creating new flow and this option will be available under record trigger flow. So just select it. Now here we need to select the object as account or record is created. We don't want to provide any condition and then actions and related record. So schedule path is available in this option only. If you select fast field update, you won't see any schedule path. So let me select fast field update. So here you are not able to see any schedule path. If I select actions and related record. So you will be able to see this ad scheduled path. So though it is optional. So in general requirement, if you don't want schedule path, you can ignore it. So your flow will run immediately. If you want to have both the parts like run immediately and schedule path. So you can just click on this. Then here create opportunity. Then time source. So all the date fields will be available here. So we just need to select when account is created. Then this is offset number. It works based on this days after days before hours after hours before minutes after minutes before. So you can just read this help text for better understanding. Specify whether the path runs minutes hours or days before or after the selected time source. However, in some cases, a scheduled path interview will not execute until after system resources become available. So if resources are not available, then in that case, it can go beyond this offset as well. So we need to select one day after and the time sources when account is created. Then we have this option that is advanced where we can enter the batch size. So just go through with this help text. So enter the number of records that this path can process at the same time. The default is 200, which is the maximum and the minimum is one. For example, if you specify a batch size of two and seven records are scheduled to be processed in the same time interval flow builder group stamp into four batches. So total seven records are there that sizes to so 222 and one for batches will be created. So set a batch size smaller than 200 to improve performance and to avoid hitting governor limits. Right. So I'm just leaving it as is because I just want to use the default batch size. So I'm not putting any value here. And as per your business requirement, you can just put a particular value state. Right. Now if you want to create one more schedule path, so you can just click on plus and here you can enter one more schedule path. So it depends as per the requirement how many schedule paths you want to create. Okay. So I'm just deleting this one. Now just go through with the text which is written over here as well. So add a schedule path. If you want part of or the entire flow to run sometime after the triggering record is created. Right. That scheduled time can be based on when the report is created or based on a field value in the record. Right. So here you can see these are the values basis on that you can schedule a separate flow interview runs for each schedule path. Path labels appear on the connectors in the canvas. Consider using path labels such as run one day after cases created and run when cases close. So this is the help like you can use. So what we can do we can put it here as well run one day after account is created. Right. So I'm modifying it like this. Okay. And why we did so because on the canvas this label will be displayed. So if I click on done so here you can see this label is available. So this will run immediately and this path will run after one day of account creation. Now for immediate creation, we need to create context. So I'm labeling it as create contact one contact then use separate resources and literal values. So here I need to select the object as contact and I need to set the first name. So I'm just setting account name as first name and account name as last name. So this flow will run when account record is created. So account record information will be available in this global variable that is dollar report. Now here if you want to link your contact with the account so you can pass the record ID as well in the account ID lookup. And click on done. So contact will be created immediately. Now here we need to create the opportunity. Create opportunity. So opportunity name should be equals to record dot name. So account name will be assigned as opportunity name. Then we need to populate state. So I'm providing prospecting. Then we need to put the date. So here I'm putting the close date. So I'm putting as six slash three zero slash two to two zero double two. And then if we want to relate this opportunity with the account, so we need to populate account ID in the account ID lookup. So this account ID lookup is available on the opportunity and from here record dot ID means account ID will be assigned into this variable. So I'm just clicking on done. So this way this record trigger flow is created. Now I'm just clicking on save. So I'm providing the label here. So labeling it as scheduled path clicking on save and activate. Right. Now let's see flow trigger explorer as well. So I'm just selecting when a part is created. Okay, so now let me check one more thing. So nothing is available here. So let me just create one account report and then we will verify those things again. So I'm just clicking on new and creating one account and clicking on save. So under related you can see one contact is created automatically. Now I'm just checking the schedule jobs. Okay. Here we don't have any information. So let's search for time based workflow object equals account and search. So here you can see we have the record name account 1301 and flow name is scheduled path schedule date today 28 six and sorry. So date is 27 six and schedule date like when it will be executing one day after this created date. Right. So this way here you can identify like whether your schedule path is actually scheduled or not. Now let me just refresh and see whether. Okay. So here that information is not available. Okay, so if you want to check whether your this schedule path is actually scheduled or not. So this is the way you can go into time based workflow and here you can see, and for example if you have deleted account reports of this role will be deleted automatically from here. So this way, you can create scheduled paths, and you can create any number of schedule path in your record trigger flow. Okay. And from here also like if you want to open flow trigger explorer so you can open from here so that you can see the order for that particular option.


What are exchange rates? Simply exchange rates are the relationship between two currencies or how much of one currency can you buy with another? You may have heard that currencies can be strong or weak. Now the strength of a currency is simply determined by the age old laws of supply and demand. A currency becomes stronger relative to other currencies when the demand for that currency outweighs supply. Now there are a lot of explanations as to why a currency becomes stronger relative to others. The first is the inflow of what's called hot money. Speculative flows of foreign money to take advantage of high interest rates in the host country. The second is an increase in demand for host country's products and services where foreign currency is exchanged into the local currency in order to buy things. And finally there might simply be an increase in foreign investment into a country, further increasing the demand for the host currency. So how then do we know whether a country's currency is over or undervalued relative to other currencies? This can be confusing as currency pairs tend to have very different historic exchange rates and it's frustrating that fair value for each currency pair is not simply one to one. Therefore we use a concept called purchasing power. Or how many units of your currency do you need to buy say a Big Mac in another country? Let's give an example. Let's say you're waiting in Heathrow for a flight to bounce in New York. You decide to buy a Big Mac in the terminal of four pounds. At the time you think to yourself that you might be peckish when you land at JFK. So you make sure that you have four pounds worth of dollars for another Big Mac on landing. However when you get to the front of the queue and try to buy a Big Mac with your four pounds worth of dollars you find that you can only buy three quarters of the Big Mac. In this example it's very likely that the pound is undervalued relative to the dollar. Now is it a good thing to have a strong currency? Well to an extent yes as it is a fair reflection that your country is in rude health as demand for domestic goods services and investments are high and also your currency strength means that imports become cheaper. However a strong local currency can harm a country's exports as they become uncompetitive in the global market. Both strong and weak currencies have benefits and drawbacks. It is a wise politician that seeks to benefit in both scenarios.


But this is a way to pacify young men and keep them weak. And that's not the only thing that's happening. We're re-educating our young men through egalitarian curriculum of our governments, our schools, our churches. This is a battle I have as a pastor. Evangelicalism is wretched. It's horrible. I believe everything in scripture is inerrant. You should believe everything. I want you all to convert. That's who I am. That's what this is about. I'm not ashamed of Christianity. I am ashamed of evangelicalism. I do not blame men for checking out. You should not have to leave your balls at the door of a church. It should not be happening. God made men and women, he said, it is good, right? This is good work. But we're watching men put aside their mask on dry for sex, for ambition, to do well. All for the glory of God. You have to come and be weak to be in a church. And we're destroying everything good about men and the world needs men. So we are reeducated in that way. And through some of the stuff you see on YouTube, man. YouTube, if you're a dad, right now we're having battles with screens and like YouTubers. My kids don't care about TV. They don't follow anything. And when I was a kid, I had to sneak to watch Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And then my kids are watching all these crazy YouTubers. Some of them are like interesting. Some of them I would like to meet in person.  America is built on the backs of a mountain of dead babies. Blood. That's our country. We deserve to be judged. Millions and millions. These people talking about 200,000 COVID deaths. Give me a break compared to what we've done. And we kill men that way. We also kill men through this culture of shame. Now shame's good.  It's my body saying, don't do that. And when you feel a shame for something that's immoral and bad, that's your soul saying, don't do that, OK? But I shouldn't move my hand in a natural way and it hurts. Something's wrong if I'm moving my hand. Something's broken. And if you act like a man and you feel shame for that, something's wrong.  And we are shaming men for being masculine. Little boys. You guys read the APA standards that came out a couple years probably, how they define toxic masculinity. And it's just masculinity. We just hate men. And they want to change little boys. And that creates this culture of depression and hopelessness.  Just this past weekend, I was out at a church conference because that's what I do. I get hit at a church conference one weekend.  Life is grand. But we were out there and they were talking about the 16-year-old that shot himself. And they were describing that the family was a good family. They moved around a little bit. But because of the pandemic, it's kind of been stuck in the house. It's really hard. As a dad, I can only tell my kids to use their imagination until I'm sick of me saying it. And I'm like, yeah, it's pretty boring. But this kid's stuck in the house. And he just kept watching YouTube and playing video games. And we're different like Discord servers or whatever. And just, it's all hopeless. So hopeless.  And mom and dad walked in there to find that mess. And the pastor comes and they're covered in the child's blood. This is America. This is the real systemic problem that no one seems to be talking about. What's up, people like you? People like the 21 convention. And a few Christians here and there. So it's still going on. The war on men is still happening. It's very depressing, right? It's as widespread and intense as it's ever been. But I want to remind you of something. So Pharaoh, he tried to kill baby Moses, right?  Didn't work. Moses ends up, the baby he tries to kill raised a manhood in his own house, right? It's one of these beautiful ironies of scripture. Tried to reeducate Moses. Tried to train him, make him into Egyptian. But that doesn't take either, right? And they tried to pacify him. And that didn't work either. And so Moses ends up being the one to destroy Pharaoh. Moses is a normal guy, right? He started out as a normal man. God loves to use normal men to destroy tyranny. He loves it. God loves to use the foolish things of the world. I always tell people God is a great comedian, and I'm one of his jokes. And I've had a weird life. I've been a professional card counter. I've written a blog post that I won't tell you the name. Well, I will tell you this blog post, actually. I started a viral media site with a friend of mine. And we learned that millennials were really easy to troll. And so we found out if people click on this, we made a lot of AdSense money. And so I created a post on how beautiful Disney princesses are if they're overweight.  And that thing still gets comments on it today. It was like 6 million views when it first went out. But I got to do that. I get to do this. Life's been really crazy and cool. God uses people like me. There's nothing very great about me at all. There's nothing really that impressive. So God likes to use normal men.  Men that are waking up.  And I think one reason I'm getting so much traction online right now is that a lot of Christian men are like, is this it? Is Christianity really this egalitarian and feminist? Because when I read the Bible, it doesn't seem like that. God, the father, Christianity is patriarchal to the core.  I love radical feminists. They're like my favorite people in the world. I can't stand Christian feminists. And here's why. Christian feminists, they just lie through their teeth. You have to to make the Bible sink to feminism. But radical feminists like Shilma Firestone, or Betty Frieden, or whoever you want to go through, they just hate Christianity. And they just like, we got to get rid of men. And we got to get rid of the womb. And they just say all those things. And they're so refreshingly honest. And these guys are starting to realize that egalitarianism is false. And it's not true. And they're waking up.  It's kind of funny that that's catching fire. And that's very encouraging to me. That's telling me that the reason these little sparks can create a fire is the ground's dry and ready. And they're ready. They're ready for folks to start taking charge. And I'm not a McTow guy. I got a lot of McTow guys that follow me. I sympathize with them. But you know what? No.  It's not happening. I am not checking out. I'm going to war. Absolutely. I might lose. I might. I don't know. I wouldn't be the first guy that tried to go to war and lost. But I'm going to go down on my shield, OK? And I want to tell you guys to do the same. I want you to go down on your shield. Go down fighting. Are you going to let these people do this to our kids? Are you going to stand for this? You're just going to enjoy the ash heap that's society right now. You're just going to enjoy this. A little bit of shining pieces.  Now we're going to do something about this. And the thing is, if men will become fathers, boys will become men. The world needs men. God made this world for men. Six days, he makes this world. And on the sixth day, he puts man and woman in it to rule and reign over it as a royal priesthood. This world was made for us, not the animals for us. The animals are made for us. That's why they taste so good. So I want to challenge you men to be patriarchs. And let me give you just a couple practical things to think about. I want to use the model.


Well, no one else is gonna do it, so I might as well. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. So several weeks ago in my evermore video, which you should watch if you haven't, I just mentioned that for some reason in a lot of romance books, especially young adult romance books, for some reason it just features really, really bad abuse of romantic partners. Like, it's rarely physical abuse. It sometimes is physical abuse, but it's rarely physical abuse.  That sort of thing. And it's just really common and also not acknowledged as abuse and also like just not even brought up as a problem a lot of the time. So the main character and their love interest just kind of go on being happy together. And the main thing about this is that like a lot of stuff, it's an iceberg. You know, you only see a little bit above the water, but there's so much more below it. Like, and a lot of the stuff that you know of at the top is not even that bad comparatively. Like, Edward watching Bella sleep and stalking her before they're together is like the very, very tippity tip top of the iceberg. And like, that's bad, don't get me wrong, but compared to some of the other shit here, it's not even worth mentioning, quite frankly. And in my evermore video, I just mentioned that someone should make a video, like an iceberg video, going over all of the horrible, abusive things that love interests to do in romance novels, especially young adult romance novels, I don't know why. But I just decided, you know what, why not? I'll do it. No one else seems to. It's not like there's a law that says, after I do this, no one else is allowed to. And how I'm doing this is going to be that the farther down you go on the iceberg, the worse it is, not necessarily the more obscure it is. Now, there's a correlation between those two things, like some of the things that are really bad are more obscure. Some of them aren't that obscure. But whatever the case is, they're getting worse as it goes down. I know that's not how iceberg videos are supposed to work, but I don't care.  And yeah, so let's get going. I will note that if I mention a book here, expect there to be spoilers, so be aware.  So if you don't want to hear about that, then you should leave now. Goodbye. So we're going to start off with tier one of the iceberg, like the very top, what you can see above the water. And this is stuff that is really bad, but forgivable. You know, like if you explain to someone why it's wrong and they understand that what they did was wrong and they move past it and don't do it anymore, then you could see that relationship still working out. It might be a bit of a long shot, but it's, you know, you could see it. First is from Twilight. And again, that's just Edward watching Bella sleep and kind of sort of stalking her for a little while before they're together. Like that's creepy, yes, but she seems cool with it, I suppose. And it's not like he's doing anything untoward with like her possessions or her personally. And he does like actually keep an eye on her and protect her. So I mean, it could be a lot worse. Like honestly, something Edward does that belongs much lower on the iceberg is that he straight up damages her car at one point to prevent her from going out to see one of her other friends because he wants to control who she is allowed to have friendships with. It's like, it's not good. But yeah, the stalking thing is not that awful, really, in the grand scheme of things. The second one is from a more obscure series, which I talked about a few months ago called Elemental. And basically in this one, it's what you would expect a normal girl runs into supernatural boy and then there's like this whole conflict where a bunch of people called the guides who like police the supernatural world are going to come in and attack them. And Becca has a love triangle with some dude and he's not important. But her secondary love interest is a guy named Hunter. And we find out near the end of the book that he has actually been lying to her this whole time and he's been working with the guides who are coming after her friends and he actually winds up helping them, helping the guides imprison her friends at the end and nearly kill them. Now that would be pretty bad. And in fact, Becca straight up acknowledges in the book that it's bad, which is like a rarity for some reason. But yeah, she straight up acknowledges that it's bad. And in the later books, her and Hunter remain friends. But she straight up tells them like, yeah, this whole relationship thing is not going to happen between us because you lie. And it would be worse. But he does actually help her and the other characters rescue their friends at the end like he changed his mind. So, you know, it could be a lot worse. Next up is going to be from Fallen. And that is how at the end of the first book, Daniel just abandons Lucinda at a different school on the other side of the country. Like, again, this series is pretty simple to understand like main character girl goes to school, falls in love with boy finds out he's actually a fallen angel also finds out that she's been dying and reincarnating over and over again for thousands of years and she doesn't know why. And then in order to protect her from forces who might be after her, her BF Daniel just flies her to a school on the other side of the country and then just leaves her there for most of the second book. And like it's for her safety, you know, she's not in any real danger while she's over there or she's in less danger while she's over there.  Like you could at least you owe her some support man. Like you should be talking to her throughout this and communicating with her and making sure that she understands you're there for her at the very least. So that's the end of tier one. We're now moving on to tier two.   First up is going to be from after and if you've read that book, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Granted, there's a lot of things that could fit here, but I'm going to put the whole virginity bet thing there. So basically after is again, if you haven't read it, it's like stupidly simple, but it's such a long book for some reason. I don't know why. Basically the main character girl whose name no one cares about, it goes off to college and she's away from her mom and her old boyfriend and everything and she gets involved with this dude named Harden Scott, who was originally Harry Styles. And we find out near the end, like after they've been in a relationship for a while, that Harden actually made a bet with some of his friends that he could take her virginity and he actually like kept bedsheets with blood on them as proof that he took her virginity and well yeah, that's I don't think I need to explain too much about that. That is extremely gross awful behavior on his part. Like it is extremely manipulative for one and it is extremely objectifying for another. Like it is taking main character girl and reducing her down to something that's can be bet over, you know, rather than a person with her own agency and everything. It's just gross behavior and for some reason the whole series continues on for a while after that. After that we're gonna have Light Larch and I don't even feel bad about spoiling this because that entire book is just so it's nonsense, like everything that happens in it is nonsense, but basically we have main character girl who again you don't care about her name. She goes to this magical competition and then things happen, but while she's there she meets a foreign king whose name is Grimm and the two of them kind of sort of fall in love, I guess, like they start making out and in the hallways and stuff like that. Again, I'm not making that up. That's a real those are real things that happen in this book. It's it's wild. But basically we find out that she's never met Grimm before this right, but then at the end of the book we find out that she actually did know Grimm before they were in a relationship before, but before the competition he erased her memories without her knowledge or her consent because he didn't want her to be distracted by him being there and like okay obviously this is an awful awful thing to do to someone like it's a violation of their privacy it's a violation of their mind itself like that's insane like an insanely insanely bad thing to do but honestly I feel like it would be worse if Lightlark weren't just so nonsensical like that's the worst thing about Lightlark is that none of it just makes any sense like character motivations make no sense and change all the time the world makes no sense the story makes no sense like the events I don't see how they lead into one another it's just dumb and like Grimm was trying not to distract her but then as soon as she shows up again they start making out and so like what it's just extremely dumb like even though this should maybe be on a lower tier it's so stupid that I have to put it in tier two this next one is from Elixir by Hilary Duff and it's a little unusual because this one is actually the main character doing something horrible to their partner instead of the other way around which it usually is a short version of this story is that god there's there's no short version but main character girl has a boyfriend who drank the elixir of immortality hundreds of years ago and ever since then she has like died and reincarnated several times there's multiple series with this exact premise by the way died and reincarnated several times and in this most recent iteration in the modern day he there's people after him that want to kill him so that they can use his blood to make more elixir of life and make themselves immortal and at the end of the first book he's going to commit suicide with like this magical ritual in order to prevent that from happening and because he also just doesn't want to live anymore he's been alive for centuries and main character girl despite meeting him like three days earlier decides to just tell the bad guys where he is so that they will come in and stop him from killing himself and then kidnap him so that they can use them in their evil plans which i want to reiterate their evil plans still involve killing him so it's not like she's really saving his life here and they actually do succeed in killing him in the second book but then he just comes back these books are wild that's just i don't know you're you're taking away his choice in the matter and letting him get abducted and imprisoned by people who want him dead for nefarious purposes that's horrible the last entry in tier two is also the main character doing something terrible to their love interest it is it's from stones to Abigail i just i cannot escape the onision trilogy i can't it's going to haunt me until i die but anyways uh that's a simple enough story main character who is unfortunately named james uh is just a high school student who falls in love with this girl named abby who goes to school with him uh and then later in the book there's a shooting at their school like abby's ex-boyfriend whose name is seth comes in and shoots a whole bunch of the fellow student their fellow students and kills a whole bunch of them right and then weeks after that uh abby is questioned by the police uh because they find out she wrote a letter to seth which might have inspired him to do the shooting like she says she wishes everyone would disappear which is not really that that's not telling him to do a shooting and the police figure that out pretty quick so they you know let her go without any issue however afterwards she tells james about this and him rather than saying you know the logical thing which is oh yeah you didn't actually do anything wrong and like just being there to support her basically he immediately without saying a word just like leaves the room and goes to brood in the shower for a while and the book explicitly says that she's like panicking and basically begging him without words not to leave but he does it anyways and um that's that's that's a shitty thing to do you know she she's emotionally fragile at the moment and she feels an incredible amount of guilt over what happens like again it's not her fault by any logical sense but you know your brain sometimes doesn't follow that logic and tells you to feel bad about things like that and you need to be there to support her yeah and she's been there to support him throughout this whole book in his difficult times but instead he just leaves for a while and then he does come back and say you know you didn't do anything wrong but which like no shit but the fact that he waited is awful and it I don't know if it's manipulative really but is a horrible thing to do with someone now we've reached tier three tier three is pretty simple run and call the cops like if someone did this then you should run and you should call the cops like don't just break up with them stay as far away as possible and try to get charges pressed first up is a quart of thorns and roses and it is just everything tamlin does in a quart of thorns and roses just just everything like I will admit I still I haven't read these books and I'm not going to because there's so many other people who have already done really in-depth criticism on YouTube I wouldn't have anything new to add but I have watched like multi-hour long summaries of this I feel like I understand the context and everything enough to comment on this but yes that this is kind of a retelling of the beauty and the beast story where main character girl shoots a wolf in the woods and it turns out that wolf was a fey in disguise I mean it seems like his fault you know if you're an animal in the woods and a hunter shoots you like that's your fault you didn't identify yourself but anyways and one of his friends comes out and says hey according to some obscure treaty I get to take you back to the world to fey world with me like we have to do that otherwise there'll be a war and so main character girl's like okay and so he takes her away from her family and everything and they fall in love over the course of the story sort of again beauty and the beast however we find out later on that the treaty he's talking about is nonsense like it's it is not what he says it is and he was just lying because he wanted to keep her at his castle as basically a slave so he basically kidnapped her but on top of that he physically attacks slash hurts her a couple of points like there's a scene where he specifically like pins are up against a wall and she begs him to let her go and he doesn't and he's like touching her inappropriately and he bites her on the neck until she bleeds and he like licks it up and it's supposed to be hot or whatever but like that's just straight up sexual assault is what it is it just it's sexual assault like he doesn't full on per or anything so that's nice but uh that's still sexual assault and next up on the list is going to be everything rissan does in aqatar because rissan is just the other part of the love triangle who main character girl fault winds up leaving tamlin for for whatever reason i don't know they're both terrible but basically rissan uh makes some sort of deal with tamlin so that he gets to own main character girl for one week out of every month again just so that he she can be a slave for him a quarter of the time and he forces her to drink like this weird wine a lot which just makes her black out so she doesn't remember anything and then he like just takes her bed every time and it's like he he as far as we know he doesn't just straight up date but we don't know for certain and the fact that we don't know for certain is oh god and i mean again even if he doesn't full on he um he is uh god i just no no next we have saved the pearls god i hate this so much and in that one main character girl her name is eden uh goes up to the surface after the apocalypse because most of humanity lives underground and she's there with her furry boyfriend named bramford and then she does something stupid and bramford just straight up imprisons her like yeah like it was a little shack in the forest he just imprisons her in there locks the doors so she can't get out i feel like that's pretty self-explanatory like what the fuck the final entry in tier three comes from hush hush and that is like main character girl her father is killed some point before the story begins that becomes important in a couple of minutes trust me uh and then she starts having these weird things happen around her uh because she meets a dude who turns out to be a fallen angel whose name is patch and throughout most of the book he is just straight up stalking her because he's planning on killing her which he doesn't want to he's being forced to but still he is planning on killing her and then later he just forces his way into her house while she's home and her parents aren't yeah um yeah like i think he only gets away with that because he's hot like i think again you i shouldn't have to explain why that one's bad finally we have reached the bottom of the iceberg and this tier i'm just calling nuke it from orbit so the first entry on tier four is also from hush hush and that is how patch kills norah's dad yeah before the events of the story he is the one who murdered her mother or excuse me who murdered her father like again he was forced to do it he didn't want to do it but still i i think your chances of being in a relationship with someone should be zero if that if you do that i don't think you should be dating them after that for any reason like that's just oh god what the fuck next up is article five which is a pretty obscure book i mentioned it once or twice like two years ago three years ago uh but anyways this is just a crappy dystopian story about a young girl and her mother who get arrested and separated by the government because they they're it's like a religious extremist government and it's a single woman living with a kid which is just not okay to them uh and then while they're being arrested one of the soldiers doing it is one of their old neighbors who main character girl her name is ember recognizes his name is chase and chase actually helps her escape from where she's being held later on and they most of the rest of the book is them running across the country trying to escape and then he chase keeps telling her like okay we'll meet your mom later don't worry she's fine and near the end we find out that chase executed her mother like again he didn't want to do it he was forced to do it and that's part of what finally made him desert and try to save ember but still he was he shot her mother in the head while she was being held prisoner that's yeah okay i wish i wasn't so speechless with so many of these but they're just they're just baffling decisions they just are next up we have reapers creek again i will never escape the onision trilogy this one very simple man character dude named daniel finds out he has godlike powers and that he can bend reality to his whim right and he has a girlfriend named julie and at one point they go to dinner with her parents and while they're he murders her father why is this such a common theme but okay so the reason he murders her father though is because her father is a serial killer and he discovers that just out of nowhere like he reads her father's mind and discovered oh this guy's a serial killer he's killed a bunch of women before and then he just instantly kills him now debatable whether or not he deserved it you know you you could argue like okay he should do he should kill him but the way he goes about it is really really bad because again he just killed his girlfriend's father right in front of her but he knows that she's gonna freak out uh if uh if she doesn't understand what's going on so he immediately takes all the memories of her father murdering and attacking women and just puts it into her head so she just sees all this shit instantly and just knows everything like god how traumatic would that be like dude that nuke it from orbit okay that's not okay nuke it from orbit next is house of night and i promise this one isn't about murdering anyone's parents but uh house of night very simple to understand a main character girl named zoe turns into a vampire goes to a special school for vampires and not long after that she drinks a little bit of the blood of a human guy she used to know at school and that forms like a really powerful mental magical bond between them so they're like obsessed with each other and they have some limited telepathy so they can kind of feel each other's thoughts and stuff you know pretty pretty easy to understand but later zoe she wasn't exactly in a relationship with the dude but she basically cheats on him with another guy and has sex with the other guy and while it's happening she uh her and the dude that she has a bond with can kind of feel each other's emotions and it breaks the bond basically her having sex with another another dude breaks the bond and it's extraordinarily painful for them and for days afterwards she just doesn't say anything and then when she finally runs into other dude he says i thought you were dead what the fuck like she basically mentally and possibly physically attacked this dude uh caused him a lot of pain again physically and mentally and made made him think that she was dead and she just she didn't think to like call him or anything to not only to say that she's okay but to ask if he is all right because it never occurs to her to stop and say hey wait is he all right this one actually kind of does belong in tier four just because of obscurity but also because of how bad it is it is a book called Abandoned by Meg Cabot and Abandoned is like kind of a retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth where like Hades kidnaps her and brings her to the underworld to be his wife uh and she eats a little bit of food while she's down there which winds up making her be trapped there for six months out of the year and those six months are winter and Abandoned is kind of like that main character girl uh falls in love with a god of death that he's only god of part of the underworld though and so she's goes down there and is with him for a while and she eats some cereal while she's down there and then he tells her afterwards like oh uh eating food traps you here forever sorry and she takes that remarkably well all things considered um and then later she talks to somebody else they tell her okay you can't get pregnant in the underworld because magic whatever and so she has sex with her underworld boyfriend and then after that when they're having an argument he just tells her basically oh yeah well actually it was having sex with me that traps you here forever so ha there i don't know if that counts as but it feels pretty close and finally at the bottom of tier four we have something from evermore which again you should have watched that whole video by now why are you you hear if you haven't watched that go watch that but uh again that is yet another series where main character girl keeps dying and getting reincarnated and falling in love with her immortal boyfriend who's immortal because he drank the elixir of immortality but uh basically before the series begins uh main character girls her name is ever and her boyfriend is named daemon by the way uh and ever's family dies in a horrible car crash and she almost dies too but we find out near the end of the first book that daemon was nearby uh we'll discuss that in a moment uh and he give her some of the elixir of immortality to save her life so he actually made her immortal without asking her that now that's pretty bad on its own like he did save her life so at first you might be thinking okay that's that's fine i guess like he he did save her but also doing that without someone's consent is kind of iffy but it becomes much less iffy later on because in the third book we learn that uh everyone who drinks the elixir of immortality goes to hell like after they die and the immortals in this series are remarkably easy to kill but after they die they go to hell for eternity full stop like so ever is never going to get to see her family in the afterlife again and she's just going to live eternity in torment forever after she dies and daemon knew about this too like it was not something that he found out at the same time she did he knew about this and he still did it to her because oh i couldn't bear to leave you like dude not okay what the actual fuck is wrong with you and uh the reason he was nearby when the car crash happened is actually because he's been stalking her since she was 10 years old like in in this current incarnation he's been stalking her since she was 10 years old and um he specifically says like no i wasn't going to start a relationship with you when you were a kid i was just waiting until you were ready oh okay yeah and uh i don't have an organic place to put this but in one of her previous lives he literally bought her and owned her as a slave for a while so yeah now this was by no means an exhaustive list uh if you have more to talk about please please tell me down below because i find this weirdly concerning but also extremely funny i can't i can't deny it is extremely funny to me uh but yeah i think i think it's fine to write stuff like this you know having like weird fantasies or whatever is fine as long as you acknowledge that it's not okay in real life and part of acknowledging that it's not okay in real life is making videos like this and talking about it and laughing at it and you know other people if you are into this sort of thing then that's fine you can have your trash i have my trash but um yeah that's about it uh just weird abusive shit that love interests due to other love interests in books for some reason and i don't know why it's so prevalent but it is goodbye huge thank you to everyone who watched this far uh especially all my patrons you can see all

Science, when people think of science they think like, oh it's boring geek or whatever but this way you're using like different ways to visualize science and know science, learn science, you're using tech to learn science. Like I think it's really cool that you can do that. A lot of teens, sometimes we feel like outsiders so it'll just be important for us to all group together and be in one safe place where we can just do things that we enjoy, things that we like to do, things that we think are interesting, we may learn about new things. You might meet new people that could be your friends for a lifetime like even if you're not really interested right now in media and everything like that you can still interact with new people, learn a lot of new things that can take you far in life.
