All right, I'm going to go ahead and get started. It is 11 o'clock for me. Anyway This is the UX functional update. I Added the link to the presentation in the chat. I wasn't able to update the calendar invite So my apologies on that one, but if you're curious, you can go ahead and link to the presentation there Start out with my team slide. So anyone that's new. This is the UX team No particular order and I just wanted to mention that there was some strange Scheduling last time due to Memorial Day my functional update got pushed So we actually went over the majority of 9-4 in our last update So I only cover maybe one or two items. So if you want to go back and look at the 9-4 Items that we covered last time there's a link there for you So I think this is the only item that I've added from 9-4, but it's it's a pretty neat one So coming up, we've cleaned up the issuable lists The goal here was to adjust the layout so the labels wrap nicely as the screen sizes reduced So less clutter a lot more polish easier to see on smaller screens So there was a lot of feedback On the confidential banner redesign, which was released in nine dot three You might remember that that lovely black bar that would follow you as you went up and down the page The redesign sounded good in theory, but it was really intrusive for users when we put it into practice So we rolled that back the goal here really is to let users know that they are viewing a confidential issue Not to distract them from the task at hand. So in this new design the icon is In the header as an with an orange background. You can see it right here Makes it readily visible, but not obtrusive once you scroll It moves from here down to this bottom right-hand corner So it fades and it moves to that bottom right the banner only appears when scrolling in the background of the banner is Transparent so it's not covering up anything and it's not really loud and in your face And really we're thinking that confidentiality matters most when you're leaving a comment, right? You kind of want to see who's going to be able to see this comment So the confidential issue banner will fade out when the comment box is opened and the comment box will now have a Confidentiality message to alert users that they're making a comment on a confidential issue then in the sidebar is how we're going to Control whether it is confidential or not. So if you look here in the first when the issue is confidential There'll be a little eye icon. It'll tell you it's confidential and you have the ability to edit that So when editing that you get a confirmation You can go ahead and cancel Or turn off confidentiality which will then make it visible and we changed the verbiage a little bit tried to keep it really simple So if it's confidential, it'll say this is confidential If it's not confidential, it will just say none. Nothing has It's not confidential Felt this was a little bit easier to see and understand pretty quickly Navigating files in merge request diffs. This is one that I think will make a big difference So in the first screen here, you'll show you'll see that it's showing how many change files were changed How many additions how many deletions? We want to keep this accessible at all times. So when you scroll It will dock itself right here with a little drop down and over on the right-hand side You'll actually see the x additions y deletions will be shown in a quick and easy to understand format Sorry about that after clicking The little drop down you'll get the ability to search and look through all the different files So you can look for specific additions nations changes that were made We also improve share locking feature for subgroups So when a parent group has a lock on sharing projects with other groups, this restriction should apply on the subgroups as well Subgroups should be able to apply a lock if the parent group does not have one Subgroups cannot release a lock if the parent group has one and the UI will explain this to the user So it's very clear what they're doing. All right. Let me just check and chat real quick All right, so I'm scheduled UX issues currently in progress Transactional batch merge request comments So we're trying to prevent notification overload by grouping comments staging comments and then submitting them all At the end that way you'll only get one notification instead of a gazillion of them Multiple discussions per line in merge request diffs. So currently in merge request if she can start a vertical line of comments It's essentially one discussion So we're going to enable the ability to branch out to multiple multiple discussed discussions. Sorry about that So early for me For each of those discussions enable resolvability and remove the ability to resolve individual comments So going forward you can only resolve entire discussions And this is just one example of all the ways that we're going to make empty pages awesome everywhere in GitLab And then we have some mobile optimizations for the merge request widget It's the first iteration towards improving the merge request widget for smaller viewpoints viewports, especially mobile We're doing a lot of work in the mobile area trying to optimize and make sure that things are clean and clear and easy to use So UX improvements ready for implementation Right now we have a hundred and twenty four open issues with the UX ready label so this one another beautification of empty screens It's actually logging in user when setting up a new instance. We've redesigned this to include text On the downloads page and command line telling the user where to go after installation Tory did some great work going through this to really understand what was confusing and what was difficult for those first Coming into a new instance So we've improved the first page as well by including the username of the admin was in the details to begin with But it was easy to forget by the time you get to the stage And allows them to create a password and automatically log the user in This was here last time. I'm just going over it again. It still hasn't made its way in has 30 likes It's currently in the backlog So display time tracking totals on the milestone page Show aggregated values for time spent time estimated in time remaining Assessing the milestone progress based on open-close issues and time tracking is possible by looking at the issue counts Progress bar and time tracking stats. This has a lot of really really positive comments on it So it'd be great to get it in sometimes soon These as well haven't quite made its way in yet improving our confirmation dialogues keep users from making mistakes with clearer Directions and instructions on what's what's actually happening when they click a button and Any questions on any of that what I'm actually going to do next is go over the UX okay ours that we put together Kind of explain how we came to those okay ours And then what issues will be working through to support those Any questions I'm gonna keep moving all right So okay ours So the first step we took was to look at the high-level objectives to determine where UX could offer support Objective one relates to sales and numbers and while good UX certainly contributes to increase sales and revenue We need to be able to track specific initiatives and objective three Relates generally to recruitment and hiring company-wide, and I think we have an awesome team But I really felt like UX needed to focus on objective two for this quarter so underneath that objective there are CEO objectives, so the first CEO objective relates mostly to performance performance of get lab comm and and our Our product in general so we focused on the other two objectives From these I identified or we identified Usability goals that will allow us to develop get lacks and get labs UX vision and strategy so this is how we kind of worked through each one so I Took or we took the the overall objective and we kind of broke it down to what problem is this talking about So what are the problems? That are arising that's not enabling this to happen Then we lay out how get lab is a business can solve these problems So this allows us to then define specifically how UX can support these business goals And then as part of the process we also make sure to define how we'll measure whether or not we're successful in attaining these goals and Sometimes that can be a little bit more tricky in the UX area Then and maybe other areas right we need to have very specific stats. We have to have starting points and understand where something was Before we made a change and then reevaluate after it after the change So from this whole process of kind of looking through to defining the problems the objectives how we can Assist we come up with our final UX. Okay are and this may be different for each team. I'm not sure how the other teams Went through and did their okay are so be interesting really to see how other teams kind of focused in on these So the first UX okay are is to make it easier to find and use advanced get lab features And I've just put some of the issues related to this Some of have been completed or in process and are in the future Improved navigation iterate on it every month and these are again are just some of the issues I didn't talk about navigation today because we're still in the midst of kind of really putting together colors and Implementation getting the feature toggle in there. I'll talk about that extensively in the next functional update Improving perceived performance I think that there are definitely areas that we can assist in helping where maybe performance Seems to be lagging and we can assist with some UI elements to make time Seem to go a little bit quicker. There's always going to be times when something takes a little bit to load skeleton loading Loading of issue title and description before the rest of it gets in there can really help with that Then this last one is is rather large so measure usability of critical user flows to identify areas needing improvement There's kind of two little sub subsets to that. The idea here is to get really good concrete research done on critical areas and Identify where our users are getting stuck where things may be confusing or we may be able to save them time and Enable them to get what they need to do done a lot faster So we have a UX research roadmap that we have put together and the way this is going to work Is that each roadmap generates three or more areas of testing so in each roadmap? We're not just testing one area right now. We're testing Dashboard notifications and merge request and that's all done in one release cycle So each release cycle will be testing anywhere from three to maybe up to six different areas gathering information and then finding ways to Optimize and adjust those flows questions comments thoughts I Need Larry in here with a laugh track. That'd be the best. Where's Larry when you need him? All right fantastic last slide shout outs It's we had a condensed amount of time between our last Update so I don't have as many shout outs, but I wanted to thank Marsha and And Jay Vargas for helping with the new blog theme and helping Dimitri write his fantastic Travel around the world blog that he just released last week So really appreciate that All right, I'll let everybody go Hope everyone has a great week. Thanks. Bye. Bye


Hello everybody and welcome to Dragon's Rise of Burg. It has been a long time since we have recorded this. In fact, I didn't even think I'd record a single video since the whole winter update, and now it has thawed out. So, the main reason why I'm recording this video is because there is a new dragon. If you- I actually haven't seen it, I don't even know what that is. I think it is out. The new How to Train Your Dragons movie at the final in the trilogy apparently. There is, you know, the truth, this is a Night Fury, but there is a Light Fury, I think, which is this one. Yeah, Light Fury's exclusive exploration. Now, the only way to get it is to be part of the Dragon Riders Club, which is a bit of a shame. Um, I released it at the moment, that is. They could change it, who knows. Um, so, I'm going to- I'm gonna do it. I've played this for so long. So long, and you know what, I'm finally- I play it every day, you know what?  It takes me, like, ten minutes-ish, but I've played it for this long. I think I might as well. I need- I need to see what this whole new dragon's about. So, we're gonna go for the yearly, because this is the Jeepers. Yeah, bye. Okay, that should be it. I've only done a month. The toothless's face looks a bit messed up there, actually. That's a bit weird. Ah, there we go! Dragon Riders, your big buff is yours to keep forever. And you have exclusive access to the brand new Light Fury. So, if you didn't know beforehand, um, if you were to do the, uh, Dragon Riders, you would keep Big Buff, or you would get the Big Buffalord. Um, now you got the Night Fury. Now, I'm kind of thinking, maybe this is going to be a bit similar to the DNA factory in Jurassic World the game. So, if you cancel your membership, then you lose access to this, uh, creature. So, that might be the case. But, oh, there she is! Okay, interesting. Well, we have it! The Night- the Light Fury, I should say, and if I hold on the screen, there you go! Well, you know, if I hold it for a second there, it can look nice for a little bit. Uh, so, can we feed it? Oh, we can. So, if we were to go search... Oh, okay. This is interesting. So, does she- she seems to have maybe different dragons that she can go find, as well as like similar ones, um, as Toothless. It could even be that, yeah, there must be different ones. Meatloaf's offspring, you don't normally get the chance to look for that with, uh, Toothless. So, it- she kind of works the same way as Toothless does, except, um, she can get exclusive dragons, or are they called exclusive dragons? I think they might be. I think green is exclusive, so, I mean, if that's what you want to do, so there's one for you to do. There you go. Oh!  So, some more fish, um... And we could train for 12 minutes, I suppose?  At all! So, we could do a- actually, no, there we can. We can do the, uh, dust brawler, actually. I don't think I own this. It should say if I do. So, if we go search, uh, so you got three. So, yeah, it is pretty much exactly the same as Toothless. So, off she goes! And that is the Light Fury. Um, I- I wonder where the buff lord is, or if you just gotta keep him. Okay, aha! And because I'm now a dragon rider, I gotta find another one! Now, normally, I never do these. Uh, if you're not part of this, like, exclusive group, you have to do every day. Cause it's- once you click it, you got 22 hours. Um, and if you miss a day, or even miss- if you miss, like, two or three days, you might as well give up. Cause you got 42 days remaining. One, two, three, four, five, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five. Ooh, I guess? Yeah, you're actually gonna do this quite easy. You could probably do it two times over. Um, but for me, I- I- I feel like I- I miss out on them all the time. This one's actually really, really easy, I think. Um, as- as opposed to normal ones. So, are you ready to see what my dragons are like? Well, this is what happens if you play it every day. Ooh, ooh, oh. Oh great, fantastic. Was I actually going for anything? Oh yeah, I was going for this guy. So search, and then I just send off a 59, why not? Um, get more Vikings. Do it! Okay! Oh, I need to get this. The Great Forge. I need 12 level 100 dragons. I've only got nine at the moment. So, this is where my team's at. So this has never changed, but we have a level 100 tide glider. Pretty good for collecting fish. Uh, Night Terror again, good for collecting fish. The best one is probably the Rip Wrecker, um, that's like a rare dinosaur. Oh, no, Speed Sting actually, that's a level 100. I suppose I've got Whispering Death on wood and it doesn't really get too much. The same as, uh, Rumble Horn. Uh, we'll see. Yeah, unique, change ring's really good for that. Uh, Buffalo Lord I always send off to get some iron. Uh, rare, oh the Slyther song's pretty good. This guy's really good. 39 million at level 100, a Sacred Terror. Um, of course you've got the Gronkh at level 100. Try to go for this to get this level 100. Um, and this guy, are you ready? You ready to see how much, this is a Legendary Dragon. 61 million and not even halfway done. You set that off for a day and it gets so much. Um, look at these, so tiny in this level 97. So you might as well set, off you go. Level up a little bit, you can go towards my level 100. This, this Mission Mighty, to get the Mead Hall up to level 14, it's taken like six months. I'm not even, like, the game, you sort of progress through it quite quick and then all of a sudden, boom, you just hit this roadblock. Uh, cause you, and it's everything at the same time, it's just get, get these dragons to level 100. There's nothing else you can do, really. Um, so yeah, they're all level 99. So, a few more iron, we can get you up. I mean, these are all really close, like 98, 94, 94 again. Um, 92, 98.  So, and then the dragons as well. There's a couple dragons we don't have, we don't have screaming death, I think, oh see, it's screaming or screeching. Um, we don't have the dragon, is it from the foo- No, it's from the second movie, if I remember right. This guy, we don't have this one yet. Uh, Drago's Bewilderbeast. Um, I wonder, I wonder if there's gonna be another Titan, Titan Dragon for the latest movie, but I think maybe just the, uh, Lightwing is probably gonna be the only one. Oh, and, hold on, because we've got this, do we get half price off? Or do we, have we just unlocked something unique or special? No? What? Do I not, do I not like get something good? Yeah, there we go, I can collect runes. That's, that's good news I suppose. Uh, I've got 21 hours to wait on that. Win a brawl without losing any dragons. Ooh, and train six dragons. All for a chance at your terrible not really that great pack. Because it's basically, oh that's right, my mystery pack's upgraded. Oh, that's the difference, so I get six coins instead of three. Oh no! No, I get nine coins instead of six. Okay, that's good. Um, this guy. Now, I'm assuming this gives me a chance to get some epics. Oh, oh, oh. Ooh, there you go, five million four. So you can tell the difference if you get some, uh, better cards, because they're red. Hmm, okay. I don't know if it's really worth it, if I've gotta be honest. Um, so Toothless, yeah, we, we're just needing iron. That's what we really need is just iron. Um, but I can send off, I can't remember who it is. It might be this guy, but you need 450 million. And he does got a seven iron, so that's quite a lot. But again, it just takes a long flip in time to do it. Um, so yeah, that's pretty much all I'm waiting for, because I've got 30 out of 30 in the smithy. Oh right, is that collecting? Uh, are the dragons collecting from it? Okay, so I'm gonna drop, so for 3000 runes, I can get this guy. Um, but I don't really know if there's any need. And I guess my hang has been upgraded, so I got an extra 150, otherwise I was like, slots, because I got all of these dragons. All of them. So guys, leave in the comment, leave in the comment down below, what's a really good dragon for collecting fish and collecting wood? Because I've got certain dragons like this, um, this guy, who's a premium dragon, the woolly hollow, um, woolly howl I should say. And he's really freaking good. If I had five of the dragons that were just like him, I could get loads of, um, loads of wood. I mean, probably the gronkles, I could probably put away and just have something better. Um, because, yeah, he doesn't really gather too much. I suppose comments aren't really that better. I should honestly just be like, okay, I'll just get rares and rares collect better. I mean, if I had five rip records, I would get so much coin, I suppose. I've got these guys, hold on, let's have a look at this. I've been saving these for a video that eventually came, eh? That's what we got. Ooh, exclusive. Okay, uh, well, I guess you can go there, yeah, sure. The cavern crusher. We got two other ones. I think this is a Slyther song, if I remember right. I recognize that egg. Uh, it is a Slyther song, we've already got one. So, I may as well just sell it for 12 million. I don't really need it. And this guy, I don't think I have either. That might be an exclusive. It is. Ooh, the sun chaser. All of these dragons and more. So, and how much of these? Oh, God, the rock sticks so much. So, flippin' much. Okay, so, what can we do? We can defend. Because I never do these missions. Ooh, mission 69. Oh, my best dragons are like, not usable. Oh, wait, what, really? Ooh, okay, so we'll use... Now, what's the difference? Because that's a health tank. That's just an aimer.  Then I'm a fire breather and then... We'll have another health tank. 50 million wood. Let's go. Okay, I don't think this is the one I need. Ooh. Ooh, okay, so the... I really wanted to task them to the middle. What do you think? I could probably have a health tank and something at long range at the top. And I could probably take all those out. And then I'll just put another health tank at long range and a fire breather for the bottom. Should we say that? I think that. I think that's probably the best course. So, we'll put... We'll do an attack on the top first. So, we'll put this guy at the very top. And then... We'll put this guy behind him. Ooh, okay. So, once that's destroyed, we'll put in a health tank here. We'll put in... I was going to say, please go left. Yes, please go down. And then that should be all the deploy. They should pretty much do it. Because that... I can't remember what it's called. The one with four wings.  Oh, look at them destroying. OP! And... Yep, there you go. Oh, we're going to take a second. There we go. Let them go. Glorious. And I didn't need... I had 103 points which I could have fired like... loads of catapults. And I completely forgot. Because my dragons at the level I'm at are just way overpowered. And I quite like it that way. And it does take a while for like... I think it's... Is it 12 hours or 24 hours for you to be able to do another battle? Collect the reward. One, two, three. Oh, more cogs. I'm spending 15 runes and 4.7. And that's a thing.  I don't know. There's no reason to ever do them. I've got to be honest. Um... So... Oh no. Oh no, it's only four minutes. Okay, but we've got this also to do. Um... And if I've got to be honest, I just haven't really been... Trying to do it. Cause you... Or even getting card packs. Um... Cause you can get card packs. I can't remember how you do it now. You do just re... Yeah, these ones, the brawls. You just do these, you get a defeat. You get the chief pack. You get the pack slots. You unlock them. That's pretty cool. But... Um... I mean, it depends. If you guys really like this video, I could do more and just try to upgrade these guys. Cause... Um... It's just really hard to upgrade these ones. Because... They're legendaries. And they take ages. Um... And finding the cards for them is super tough. So we've got two waves. Um... Might as well put his... Oh, hold on! We need to get our power up here. So... Damn, we're only going to have two. I shouldn't have done that. But this early on, I think we're pretty good. Oh, good! That's fantastic. Yeah! Yeah! Right, okay. Oh, it's just... Wavewrecker? Is it? Wave something? I feel like it is. Oh, his turn. Is he going to lower defense? I think that's only one. No. Okay. Um... We'll put his attack up. And we'll just regenerate some health. Now it's... We'll just do this one. And if we can get... A roly poly only...  It's one more. Okay. Um... I mean, that'll do a lot of damage. Wah! And... Yeah, go on. Might not just kill him. That should kill him. We'll see. Oh, yeah! There you go. Didn't lose a single dragon. That's another one of those missions done. It's swear to God his face is weird. He looks like Shrek. I get it, DreamWorks. You really like Shrek, but don't make Toothers look like it. Oh! We're going to spin the wheel. Uh, 25 million fish. Yeah, I'll take it. Go for it. Yeah, sure. Not crazy, man, but still pretty. Oh! Because I'm...  Uh, 25 million wood. Yeah. Okay. Not too crazy. Okay, we'll do one more and get this 50, uh, rune. Because we probably could go all... Well, I say that. We probably couldn't go all the way to the end. Um, because they're probably super tough. But we'll do this one. We'll definitely do this one. Just because I don't want to make this episode. Oh! Oh, we just got it? Oh, okay. Yeah, sure.  No? No, we just picked up some runes. There we go. Okay. Ooh, a monstrous nightmare. I swear to God, I just... I've got this weird ability to just retain knowledge. It's... It's... Like, my dad's really good at, like, remembering just general stuff and kind of important dates and things. I'm terrible with stuff like that, but when it comes to games, I just remember everything. Like, more than what should be average, I'm... I'm sure. Um, so we're going for that. And then my ice dragon should be able to heal itself. It looks like it's going to go for it. Ooh! Big mistake. Huge. And we'll go for you. And then on the next one that comes in, it should be Triple Strike. Um... We could? Yeah! Why not? Well, let's lock him down. He's got loads of health, actually. But make sure he can't do any ability. We'll do an attack. Wow, that is so much. That's not normal, right? He's not a health tank. He's not green. Like, why does he have so much health? A level 12. Maybe it does. Or maybe, I don't know. Woopah! And there you go. And then, should we put the attack up just in case we don't finish him? I mean, we probably will. He should go for something. I think it can... Um... Minus attack. You should be able to click on it. And, uh, find out what you do. But if you click on it, he's just doing attack. Oh! You buggy! You evaded! He's always at the spike tail. Oh no, he puts his own attack up. Okay. Bam! And the final one... It's this! Ease peas. So every victory, I get to spin on the prize wheel. Oh! Awesome! And it only cost me... Well, nine pounds so far. And you're free to cancel, I think. The thing is, you've got to be careful, because it said when I was, um... When I was, like, signing up for this, the Dragon Raiders or Riders, um... Bonus. Oh my God! Two hundred! No! I don't have enough! Can I exit? Does the rest go into an envelope? It freaking doesn't! Are you kidding me? I just got... I just got so much! Oh, that was great! Okay, um... Who is it? You! Wait, what? No. No, it's not you. It's this guy. Sorry, I'm going to have to waste your four hundred thousand. And there you go! Collect some iron! And, uh... Oh, let's keep going! Ooh! Never mind! This is fun! Let's see how far we can go! Ooh! An exotic whispering death, I think. That one is. Um... He's more stealth, I think. Is it stealth or unique? I can't remember it because health beats... is stealth. Stealth beats speed, and speed beats attack, and attack beats, uh, health. So... Uh... You know what? Let's just go for some regular hits. Let's build up our energy bar. Um... We don't need to give anybody... Just wondering what the best course of action is here. I don't know what he can do. Oh, he can lower his defense. Okay. Um... So let's upgrade our attack. Let's also heal everybody, and put defense on me. And let's do this. Oh, God, no! Ooh! Okay, well, that's fine. Right, let's do this! Oh, there's two! Oh, no! Oh, he gets to go first. Okay. Oh, no! We lose all perks! So there's no point. I might as well just save. Oh, I didn't realize. Well, let's do more damage to him. Because we've got the, uh... I keep forgetting about that, like certain dragons are better against others. Whoa! That's a lot! That's more like it! Let's do a little more damage to you. Um... Oh, no! I do have my perks. It just seemed like they weren't working for a while. Uh... I can hit everybody, so I may as well. Uh...  Oh, no! Oh, no!  Can I hit everybody? Does that hit everybody? Oh, it does, yeah. It's a whole team. I forgot about that. Well, they should be all dead, unless they evaded. And we could, if we wanted to, um... get... uh... like amber? Because I keep forgetting about that. We could buy statues, which mean that the enemy will not evade an attack. Uh, which is pretty decent. Ooh, here we go. Let's see what we get. Anything good? $25 million? All right. Fair enough. $25 million, I'll take it. Um, the next one. Because you can even win some good car parks here. $25 million again. Okay, so we should be able to... Yep, just collect the free park. Do we... Do we... Oh, no! It's in the mail. There we go. Okay, so we got one more battle before... a boss. Or it seems to be a boss, or a big team. Okay. Don't know what this guy is. Haven't got it. I think it's like a smoke thing, but it's like an exotic version? Oh, a unique version. One of the two. Let's go. Um... I know that actually these... the, um... It might even be Lydia. I can't remember. But there's another dragon's game. Um, and we should... I should definitely play that, because it looks really cool. Um... It's a... It looks like it's a bit like, um... It's a puzzle game, I think. It's a bit like Candy Crush, which is probably the reason why I haven't played it, if I could be honest. Right! Who are we going to kill? All of them! And make sure they can't do any ability if it hits, that is. And they both hit, so they can only do their regular attack. Which is going to be nothing. Monstrous Nightmare. Uh, who should we go for? Who's going to go next? You. You're going to go next, first. So, may as well just... try and... Oh, really? Ah, goddammit. Okay, what's it, everybody? And he's gone. Oh! He's going to do the fireballs! Chip, chip, chip! Oh! He all hit me! No! He made triple strike! Yeah, bugger you. Whoosh! And... the final hit. Oh! I forgot! I didn't realize there was three waves! Whoops!  He's the worst. Oh, okay. This is... Oh, this is getting tough. Um... I'm going to try and kill him. Just because he's going to do a lot of damage. He's got two bars. Uh, ooh! Uh, should we just try and kill him? I've just got to try and kill him.  Uh, it's low risk. Defense...  Don't... Ooh! Thank you. Bam, bam! Yes! Gone. Okay, uh, heal everybody! And get a shield on me. Uh... Go for that. I don't know how I like these battles. They're really fun. Uh... More attack. There you go. Uh... Heal everybody again. Woop! Uh... Do another one. As long as I've got the ice dragon there. He's a good support. Uh... I've lost the attacks. I may as well go for that. And then gain health back. Uh... And then just go for a vomit. Bleh! Yeah! Don't really stand a chance if you don't have the same amount of dragons. So now this should be a big one. I don't know if it'll have a boss. I think the boss is a reserve for like the last one. It could! Who knows? Right, okay. Uh... 75 million food? Uh... Fish? Yeah, let's go for it. I'll take that. And... What else? Another 75 million fish. Wow, that's... That's like loads! Okay, okay. This one's the big one. Let's do the big one. 35% of the way there. So... What a 50%? Wow, we've got ways to go. It's really interesting though. I do like doing these battles. Uh... We've got lots of pairs and lots of energy bars to give ourselves. If we are in dire straits. So we've got three waves. Let's take out the one that's gonna do the most damage. Which is that guy on the left. I can't remember what these dragons are called. See, I'm gonna get mixed up between like... Harry Potter mythology. I'm gonna say Hungarian Hauntail. Too many dragons in this world. There you go. That's you taking out. And... May as well go for that. Now, let's just save up our goes. Save them up. Trying not to kill him. And he's dead. So... Ooh, he's got a catastrophic quacking. Kill it! No! Oh, we gotta go first. We gotta go first. That's good. That's good. His turn. Um... Oh, this goes for regular hit. Right. May as well get more health back. Cause he's weaker. Oh no! I didn't mean to do that. Okay. I didn't mean to do that. Right. Okay, so we'll go for that. Then when it's my ice dragons go, we should put them to sleep. No, we'll heal. Heal everybody and get rid of my weakness. And give him a weakness. And then just save up now. Ah, you little buggy. Oh no! He's dead. Whoops. Oh, there's bigger dragons. Oh dear. Uh, okay. Hit everybody. Um... Go for the ice dragon. Uh, probably shouldn't have went for that. I shouldn't have gone for this guy. The bone keeper, I think he's called. Um, so heal everybody. And a shield on my ice dragon cause he needs it. Okay. Yeah. Don't go for him. Go for this guy. He's the one we've got to worry about. Uh, get that up as well. There we go. Please don't do anything too crazy. Ooh. We even had a shield and he did a lot of damage there. Oh God. I forget, yeah, that ice dragon could do some serious damage to us if he puts us all to sleep. Yeah! Beautiful. Now you go on then. Put us to sleep. I dare you. Okay. There you go. No! Oh! That's gonna be his go again.  Oh, that's right. That's right. You don't. There we go. Okay. This is good. Oh, it's his go again. Oh my God. Okay. I need healing. Okay. Um, is it two for the heal? I think it is. So we should be good. I'll go for a regular hit. And now it's my turn. And heal! Oh! There you go. Oh, he healed himself. I think he did give himself a shield. Oh, right. That's right. He got rid of my broken shield on him. And yes! There you go. Why do I find that so much more fun? I enjoy doing these battles more than Jurassic World the game and more than, um... What's it called? Jurassic World alive? I don't know why it is. I just love doing these pals. I think it's... There's more strategy into it. I don't know. It's hard to put it into words, but I just really enjoy doing these ones. Uh, oh yes. Oh, I get to do two spins. Uh, 25. Not bad, not bad. Uh, let's collect 150, uh, runes. Come on then. Give it. Give it. Oh, yes. I might actually stop playing this game way more now. I might actually really enjoy it. Yes. Okay, go on. Let's make it a half an hour video. Let's get 10 mid-rolls. Yeah. Oh, an exotic monstrous nightmare. Can we do it? Oh. Oh, my kind of struggle is only level 9. I just realized. That's not so good. And he's got a lot of, um, attack on him as well. So, it's only two waves, so I may as well get his attack up and just go for some little hits. Uh, not go for anything else. Let's see what he does. I can't remember what he's got, but we're going to do a lot of damage to him now. Bam, bam. And then, can we heal? Oh, yep. There you go. Right. Okay, on to the big leagues. Triple strike? Yes. I was hoping it would be. Okay, please all hit. Please all hit. Oh, there you go. Okay, who should we go for? Who's the biggest threat? Probably this guy. The rest are mainly health tanks, especially Gronkel. Gronkel is not a threat. Watch me get killed by him. Dun dun. Dun dun dun dun dun. I think it's the music as well. The music in How to Train Your Dragons is awesome. And hit everybody.   And heal. Whoop. It was mainly just getting defense and healing the cataract.  Oh, that's fine. You can dizzy him. That's okay. Are they going to go for him? Oh, no. Why is he going for him? Well, triple strikes out. Let's go for that guy. He's level 11. He's a little bit weaker. Um, whoop.  Oh, and the Gronkel. Gronkel might do it. Gronkel might do it. Oh, he's out. Well, let's kill the Gronkel, shall we? Oh, not. You know, whatever's. Uh, let's go for you. Right. Kind of start with quacking. It's got to do the big hit here. I think it's going to run out of attack yet. There we go. But at least we stun it a little bit. And we can heal ourselves, I think. Oh, kind of. I think we might have to hit actually.  What? Okay. Kind of start with quacking. Please do some damage. There we go. Okay, heal. Heal him. Heop. Okay, now he's going to do something big. Oh, no. Why is he coming for me? I've got the fence. Yum. Yum. Another one. Just save up. Save up. I'm getting health back. So why would he hit? Oh, I didn't realize he could regenerate as well. Ah, this changes things. Although not really, because he's definitely dead. You're prolonging the inevitable, buddy. And there you go. Awesome. So that's two times we've lost Triple Strike, I think. It's always the kind of utility dragon we tend to lose, which in this case is I only use Triple Strike. I want a premium pack. Give me a premium pack. 125. Wow. Okay. Let's go again. Another 125. So that's it. We're maxed. That's 500. Okay. Well, let's feed some dragons. Unless there's more dragons that we can send off to collect iron. Let's have a look. 30 out of 30. How many dragons can we have collecting? I don't know. I don't know where it tells you that. So this is four and five. So we don't want him. You can't collect iron. You can, but it's only one. You can collect. Oh, hold on. We need to feed something. We need to feed something. Yeah, you. Two, three, four. Yeah, there you go.  So this guy, you can collect four and you can't collect anything. So how much is it? Again, wood. What are you? Your wood again. Anything. You're only one. You're four. Well, not too bad. We can get so many on iron. Anybody else? Anybody else can collect iron. Well, we don't have any more fish now. Okay, okay. Let's see if we can get this. Oh, it's a big one. It's a big one. Come on, then. Come on, then we can do this. Let's go big or go home, guys. Rumblehorn and the smokey thing. I don't know what that does. I know Rumblehorn can have, like, a shield, I think. So we'll go for the other guy, seeing as I don't really know what that does. I think he makes your accuracy go down. Oh, no, it's shield. Okay. So we'll just make sure he dies. And there you go. Just Rumblehorn now, who can pretty much... Actually, I don't know what Rumblehorn does. Gotta be honest. I know he can heal himself and put a shield on somebody, I think. I think that's what he does. Bam, bam. Okay, let's just get the points up. So we start the next battle going for something. Oh, okay. Yep, oh, he does... Oh, he did heal himself, my bad. Okay, let's put him down a little bit. Oh, he evaded it. Never mind. Right, here's go again. We can't do anything. Just go for a headbutt. May as well. We'll cycle to the triple strike. Oh, no. Oh, okay. This works. Oh, I should have went for the attack up. That's what you're doing. Okay. So now it's my ice dragon to go first. Oh, no. Well, you know, let's go for that. I would have been happy with ice dragon, but a triple strike would have been straight after. And he would have... If he missed, they would still be in a sleep, but he probably woke all of them up if that was the case. Okay, these are all like weird ones. There's two of the same zipplebacks. Oh, which one? Who's the biggest threat? Who's the biggest threat? I think a zippleback can go for... Or is it his vie something? I don't know. It's been ages. I haven't looked at the dragons. Yup. Yep. Killed one. That was good. And hit everybody else. Oh, no. That's a big one. Oh, yeah. Locked out. Okay. So I can't... He might die. No. Okay. So ice dragon, ice dragon. And... And he's gone. Okay. We still got another wave after this. Remember, guys? Okay. So we'll just go for a regular hit here. We'll go for a heal.   I just realized that. I was like, wait, what? No. Oh, that's okay. That's okay.  Let's go for a little regeneration there. And a little hit there. His go again. He shouldn't be able to do much. That'll do. And that one. Okay. Let's see who goes first next time. Let's start with quacking again. Ooh. Ooh. Okay. Oh, we got big... Are these old bosses? Or is it just the ones on the right and left? Okay. They're going to go first. So what do we do? Do we go for decreased defense? Or do we hit everybody? Because then... Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. Okay. Let's go for that one. Go for the ice dragon. Yes. Finally. Oh, don't go for him. Oh, that was some big chunks. Okay. There you go. Take him out now, son. Oh, that one in the middle can stun. I forgot about that. Okay. And... Okay. Oh, they don't get bar on death. Unlike me. Oh, God. Oh, well, you know what? If you're going to go out, you may as well go out in style, buddy. Yeah. He's going to take out the middle one, right? They've got to. Tell me you did that on the middle one. Yeah. Kazdorff quackens gone. That's good. Okay. Let's take out this guy. Awesome. Okay. Keep going for him. No, it's there. Go. He shouldn't have to do anything. Nope. And might go again. And that should... Oh, does a lot of damage. He always going to lock something out, I think. Is that it? Is it locked out? He just frigging did it. I keep forgetting. Oh, no. Oh, well, I got the health pack. Oh, God. They're going for my triple strike. This is not good. Hit everybody. I've made it again. You see. Oh, he's dead. Oh, he's dead. Okay. Sleep. Sleep powder. Beautiful. Okay. Well, I've got to wake him up to hit him. Right. I don't think he can heal himself. So we're pretty good. Okay. Please tell me it can't go to a stalemate. Okay. Okay. It doesn't look like it can. I think with the brawls it can though. Oh, he healed himself. Oh, no. Maybe it can go to a stalemate. Okay. It doesn't look like it can though. Can't throw in. Oh, it's two times speed as well. I forgot. So now we'll go for this one. Do a lot of damage. And then on the next hit his shield should have worn out. Has it? Nope. There you go. Right. He can't heal himself. Right. Two bars. No, it's not two bars. Okay. Please. Yeah. There you go. That was close. Really close. But we got a pack. And that's what it's all about. That's what it's all about, like. Come on. Come on. Oh, and of course the spin wheel. I've paid for this. I might as well make the most out of it. Another 175 million. You know, if I did this every day and I could do battles like this. I could see how you could max up dragons. Super quick. But I can't even get 500 million wood or fish in a day. So it's taken me for ages. But if this is how you do it, oh, and collect it. Hell yeah. Let's get it. 184 rookies. Yep. Anything decent? Nope. So now we've got one, two, three battles left. Well, you know what? I'm going to leave it there because if we go any further, we're getting a dangerous territory to a 40 minute video, even an hour if we were to complete it. So guys, if you enjoyed this video and you want to see more dragons, Rise of Burke? I think it is. It was Riders of Burke. I think it's Rise of Burke. Leave a like until next time. I'll see you later. Bye-bye.


What's up guys, so today I'm in a very nice country park, this is a nice bike track. Today I have this electric scooter, this is the IEZway EZ8, it's a waterproof foldable electric scooter and I'm really excited to try this out. This comes in at $349 but I have a $15 discount code for you guys if you do want to check this out, all the information is in the description down below. Let's go ahead and run through some of the key specifications and the capabilities of this electric scooter and then let's go for a little test drive. So some of the key specifications that you'll always look out for when you buy an electric scooter is battery life, range and the speed. Now this one has up to 15 miles of range, obviously that depends on the weight and size that you put and the speed that you travel at but I think that's more than enough for basically using it the electric scooter for whatever purpose you'd like to, especially if you use it in your local area or just using it for your commutes, I think that's great. It maxes out that speed at 20 kilometers per hour or that's roughly around 12.5 miles per hour on the fastest mode which is the sport mode and I'll cover a little bit about the modes in a second. Now it charges fully in three to four hours so you can just leave it on charge at home and the next day you'll be ready to go. So I think that's pretty on standard with a lot of the key and the premium electric scooters out there which I think is great. So now let's take a little bit more of a closer look at the scooter itself. So one of the key things here is that this is a 350 watt motor and it has both front and rear shock absorbers and disc brakes. In terms of the wheels themselves they are 8.5 inch solid non-slip rubber tires which makes it great for all types of weather conditions so you can use this in rain, mud and even on stones which is a little bit like what this flooring is like right now. So it performs very well on this not just flat surfaces like pavements and roads. Now I will be testing this out but the key thing that I also like about it which I've seen not on a lot of many scooters these days is that it's waterproof so if you do ride this in the rain or you go over some puddles it should still perform absolutely fine. Now in terms of the weight capacity the max load on this is 120 kilograms so pretty much anyone of any type of weight will be able to use this perfectly fine and the scooter itself weighs 14 kilograms so if you want to take this on your commute you fold it up it wouldn't be too much of a headache it's not the lightest it's not the heaviest but it's fairly easy to take with you especially if you wanted to carry it onto your commute when you're getting to and from work. So now that I've given you a run through of all of the key specifications let me show you basically how to fold this and how that looks and see how heavy it actually is. So to fold it you just need to make sure that this clip here on the handlebar connects with the little clip and the rubber grip there at the bottom on the back wheel so that's where I'll be connecting that to. Now to fold it from the front you need to put a little bit of pressure by pushing this little red button in pulling that out like so and then it's ready to fold. So now all you do if you come to the back you'll try to align that clip that I mentioned you push it down and it will align into that rubber grip it's locked into place and then you can just carry it like so it's 14 kilograms like I mentioned but for most people you should be very easy to carry. If it is a bit too heavy you can literally lift it up with the handlebars and you can just use the front wheel to take it very easily like this as well so multiple different ways to carry it. Let me go ahead and open this up you just push that down lift it back up lock it into place and that's it you're ready to ride. Okay so let's take a quick look at the handle so you have the bell here you have the disc brake this is the throttle the red one here is the electronic brake and then you also have the reflective light there for oncoming car headlights to visibly see you a bit better. This is the screen that is the digital display so you have a power on button all you have to do is just hold this down and you'll see it will start turning on. So there you have your speed in kilometers per hour. D is the normal speed mode if I double press it goes into S which is the sport mode and that will max out at the 20 kilometers per hour speed limit and an eco this is which will give you the longest range but the slowest speed at the same time. If you wanted to keep track of the battery life you have some bars there at the bottom this is basically telling me you know I've charged this fully it's got five bars which is the full battery life so I still have a lot of range on it so as this slowly starts to come down that will give you an indication of when you should just maybe consider charging this again. If I just hit the button once this will basically turn on the front headlights as you can see it's reflecting there on my hand and if I press it one more time it just turns off. If I press the disc brake if you take a look at the rear lights you'll notice that they come on and start flashing while I'm holding the disc brake on the handlebar down like so. So if you're using this or you use the electronic brake so I'm pressing the red button now the lights will come on at the back as well so plenty of security measures you also have here on the bars some reflective strips so no matter which angle you're riding at on the pavements or the roads someone will always be able to see you because the lights will be reflected back into them using these strips and they're also there on the front of the scooter so we've got a couple in addition to the front LED lights so from a security point of view you're pretty much covered. So now that covers pretty much everything I'm going to put this onto the normal drive mode and then give you a ride and performance test on this very slight gravel bike trail and go around this little park and let's see how it performs. So one thing I forgot to mention is that this is perfectly capable to go over bumps because of the very thick tires that it has so there's a lot of bumps in this as well and I'll showcase you guys that it will still be very stable while I'm driving like so. Pretty solid pretty fast and then now if I break that was the manual disc brake and you guys can see the lights came on and I was able to brake in no time. Let me go ahead and quickly spin around the track. So that was a really great and smooth ride I felt like I wasn't going to fall off at any point there was obstacles in the way there was bumps and it really performs very well. So I can see myself using this especially if I take it to the parks like this if you are going to use it on the roads and pavements just make sure you do have your safety equipment on as well like a helmet and in terms of like the twists and turns I can easily get around very sharp corners and I was able to do that without any hesitation. Sorry guys so that's it I'm super impressed with this it's two big thumbs up from me and if you are in the market to look for an electric scooter then do check out the EZ8. It's very premium but it's also very affordable as well and what better way than to have a bit more of a discount than using my discount code that you can find in the description check it out all of the link and the information on this electric scooter is there.

Catch up and get ahead with the edge for the week of July 4th. The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District issued a level 2 heat advisory this week, indicating a sustained heat index greater than or equal to 108 degrees Fahrenheit or air temperature greater than or equal to 103 degrees Fahrenheit. At Nowcast SA, we've got a map of cooling stations, places that are free and open to the public so anyone can find relief from the heat. This is when our public libraries become a big part of the community safety net. The cooling stations include central library, 25 branch libraries, community centers, and senior centers. Seniors living in homes without air conditioning or circulating air face a greater risk of heat-related injuries and fatalities during the summer. Besides the free cooling stations, any senior is eligible to receive a free box fan, free of charge, just by calling 211. And you can help use our map at Nowcast SA to find the nearest fire station where you can donate a fan or make a donation to Project Cool. What does San Antonio's new anti-idling ordinance mean? Well, enforcing the new rule could contribute to a 20 to 25% cut in ozone and mean easier breathing for everyone. Ozone oxidizes epithelial cells in the lungs causing damage that some sensitive people, children and seniors, for instance, take longer to recover from. Along with the anti-idling ordinance, the City Council approved a ban on coal tar sealants in pavement products, setting a city-wide standard to improve the quality of the air and the water. Check out our story for more details on enforcement, penalties, and some exceptions to the rule. Your neighbors continue to speak out about the Bracken Ridge Park Draft Master Plan. Here is Graciela Sanchez of Esperanza Peace and Justice Center. I love the idea that you talk about restoring and preserving and protecting. And what I hope you restore, preserve and protect is the Mexican-American and working class people that use this park. And here is former Councilwoman Maria Beriazobal. You mentioned the five strategies, and they're fine. But nowhere does it say who the users are. Usually you investigate who goes there, who uses it, and then you want to keep them there. Because very frankly, when I tell people what's happening, summarize what I know to be the plan, what they tell me. Many of them. Los Estados Unidos, señora. They're kicking us out. There are two more public meetings to discuss the draft plan on July 7th and July 13th. Nowcast SA would like to be there with our cameras, but as a 501c3 nonprofit, we rely on your support for coverage like this. Head to nowcastsa.com slash donate now to make a tax-deductible contribution.

The Yasmina dogs Provided as a special care taken for a pet the relationship between the animal and its owner was strong This aspect of human culture does not seem to have changed since Roman times but Tunisia But Tunisia was also used to export animal more concretely wild mammals development of the wild animal tried during the Roman period was because of the augmented demand of for exotic beasts for entertainment and show purposes in Roman times large number of Burberry line were cut in North Africa and Transported to Rome to be used in the arena the cameras were used for military and try purposes during the late Roman period The state maintained a large number of cameras For the transport of the supply that the Roman army needed on its campaign Camelers were also used other is a reading animal and could also help in agricultural activity some camels fighting and camel Racing were recorded in public show Introduced in Italy in the late antiquity medieval period Porcupines were used as game animals and probably has occurred for pharmaceutical reasons our archaeological data come from two Tunisian sites Zama and reason Zama is located in the plane of Siliana in the center of Tunisia This region is famous since the antiquity by By its land of Syria Probably is located in the vicinity of the site of Zama battle Reason site is located in northeast of gerba southern Tunisia Several fishermen cabin have been documented Preliminary datation between the second and the third century ID was given to the construction of The terminal structure of Zama regia city reason site has a chronology starting since pune period until late antiquity preliminary archaeological Certification point out the presence of dog hair and rabbit As a conclusion we can point out that hair was introduced during the Roman period and was an important source of game in Roman cartage Rabbit has been introduced by bronze age or Roman people Full of deal seems to be introduced also during the Roman period some dogs as Much breed were brought to cartage from Roman trading expeditions.

And now, tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theatre of thrills. Suspense. Tonight, we bring you a story of courage on a safari in Africa. We call it Game Hunt. So now, starring Raymond Lawrence, here is tonight's suspense play, Game Hunt. Will you, Charlie? See how much farther this bush stretches. Yes, one. You now keep on, Mr. Babson, but more slowly. Seems to me it's been too slow up to now. It hasn't been, Mr. Babson. You leave the pace to me. The day had begun much the same as other mornings on the safari. They had left their base camp deep in the Kenya country before a cloudy dawn broke. Babson, an American businessman, our cross a professional hunter, and a semi-educated native tracker whose unpronounceable Masai name had been simplified to Charlie. During the weeks behind them there had been no vital call on courage. The game had been fleet of hoof rather than dangerous, and many hides and trophy heads had been gathered without undue incident. But, inevitably, a safari such as theirs enters a period when moments of peril will be met. It is the hope of the professional hunter that by this time all the killings of harmless animals will have prepared the amateur for the dangerous game. Assured him of his own power, tightened his reflexes so that he will operate correctly and calmly. Oftentimes it works that way. Our cross Babson and Charlie entered this hazardous phase when they started after Lyon. Well, here comes Charlie. Well? He's not far from a bidding on Zebra and a clearing. He's an ancient one who carries a great black mane. Good. We've worked hard for him. I hope he's worth it. Shall in your chamber?  I just wanted to be sure. All right, all right. Well, can't we go on? The wind is shifting some, Charlie. The wind will help us long enough, I think.  No, Bonner. The wind will help us long enough. There, Bonner.  Why are we waiting? Can we go on? We'll go on. There's your trophy, a black mane. He's a beauty. Can he smell us?  Charlie, it holds. You won't be able to take him the way he is low behind the Zebra Babson, but he's bound to move before long. Now, let's settle into a good position and relax. Right. Look at him, Gorge. He's got a few hundred lazy days behind him.  Your wall, Mr. Babson, I've got the place for it.  But it's the last time he'll see you, thanks to you and Charlie and to me. Why not? We've brought a lot of the last sunrises, haven't we, Mr. Babson? Elan, Kudu, Kongoni, Horricks. No more suns for them.  No. I'm tired of it. Killing's bad unless it's for food or to save your own life. When I look, the wife is coming. She's prettier. Careful, Babson, he'll move now. He's a proper one now. Doesn't want a woman meddling, even if it is her kill. Watch it carefully, Mr. Babson. He's starting to move. Make your time. He's only chasing the old lady off. You come back for his meat. But he's moving away. He'll be back and give you a good shot as he comes. No, Babson. Not now, not now. Why did you fire? I hit him. You didn't stop him? I hit him well. I know I did. I might have done better if you hadn't been yelling at me. Oh, you'd have done better if you'd listened to me. You got shot in. He can live for days or weeks. He goes into the elephant grass over there.  And he's the most dangerous animal in the world right now. You want to go in after him? No, no. I don't know enough about him.  Well, we've hunted over a week for a good head. That's all I was thinking of when I saw him running away. I wanted him. Right now, he wants you, Mr. Babson. Stay here. Charlie and I'll go in and try and get him. Why don't you leave him? He'll die. I know I hit him well. Not well enough. It's against the game laws to leave a wounded animal. And he'll charge any money he sees until he dies. Charlie, run back to the truck. Bring my flask, the big one. And the heavy rifle. Courage is defined as that quality of mind which enables one to meet danger and difficulties with firmness. Well, the call for it had suddenly come and there was a lack of it. None was really expected of Babson because his money had bought, along with other services and knowledge, that commodity which was our cross's courage. But our cross for the first time in his career didn't have the required amount for sale. In an intangible way, he was cheating his customer. The natives sensed this lack as he and the white man crossed the clearing. After long and intimate association, he thought he knew the hunter. But what he saw now made him, in his turn, uneasy. They passed the torn remains of the zebra and continued on toward the inevitable charge of the dying lion.  I've disliked them for a long time, but for almost a year I've hated them. Which, Bonner? The trophy hunters. Girls and the lords and the movie stars. The complainers about the sun and the rain and the flies. Now, the game isn't really as numerous as they've been led to believe by the movies taken from airplanes. Nobody's told them that an airplane flight in a truck safari aren't the same things. Isn't that right, Charlie?  The elephant grass belongs here. It grows so the gut shot lions will ever place to hide. This lion, you all along, the one day I'd gut shooter would stop making ladies dresses in Chicago and come and visit America. Bonner, it is the wife. Does she tell him we come? If she has a great lion's love for him, yes. If she's shallow, she's killing the jackal and the hyena so that she can eat. You know as much about lions as anyone, why'd you ask me? I thought you had a very deep understanding of these two. I've been sarcastic about the gut shooter. Have you found sign? That way. It went into the grass beyond the highest antelope. All right. Maybe from the top of it we can see what we're getting into. It's the nastiest stand of cover I've seen. Grass is over eight feet high. Yes, Bonner. Can't see 15 paces into it. Take our friend only the time of a breath to cover that distance. Let's look for a sign. Blood. Dark and thick from deep inside. No artery cut, though.  Give me the flowers, Charlie. We could wait, Bonner. Our friend will stiffen. Our friend will rest and lick his wounds and maybe stop the bleeding. Then we'd have no bloodstores for to follow him. We'll keep on going. We went in here. An old game trail. If it leads to water, we could find him there. And as he goes to the water and comes back to wait for us, there's more blood up ahead. The wind isn't for us now, Charlie. It's coming in from every quarter. You get us in from any direction.  I don't catch it. You sure? It comes another hour, I think.   You smell the fear that's in me, haven't you? For the first time, what is there about this lion and his wife? Nothing, except a new feeling that I have. This is the last time out with a trophy hunter. There are better things to do than this. The trophy hunters pay you much money.  Find some more for our signs. It is there. Ahead where he lie down. There you see. His head was here and looking this way. Sure. Down the back trail. Waiting for us. He was running when he got up. Look here, the claw signs. He's close enough that he caught our scent and got up and ran. He's not stiffened. And he's waiting again up ahead. There's nothing else to do, to wait for us and to fight, or to wait for the slower death. You have a wife and children, Charlie. How are they? Eat well, Warner. The doctor has done much to stop the sickness. Where'd you see them last? Before this hunt. You must want to get back to them as quickly as possible. Yes, Warner. Man, I see more sign up ahead. A wife again. She's closer. What direction? Where is she? The wind is against us now. We don't know where she is. No, Warner. Give me the flask. This does nothing to build bravery. I have never seen you when you needed to ask for it. I haven't either. I've never been afraid until this time. You've been to Nairobi, Charlie. Is it Warner? Is it Narcissus? No, there was too much noise.  But I found myself there. It's more of a reason to live, I mean, a woman. Said she'd be my wife. I've never had before. A wife is good. Not with this kind of business in the elephant grass. When you think of a wife, you don't do well with the problem of a gut shot lion. She's the ancient one. Where's he waiting for us, Charlie? Oh, he has many places to be. Stupid, mischievous logic. Give me the big rifle. I'll carry it now. Here's one. Keep it dry because the rain is coming. You are listening to Game Hunt.

And now we bring back to our Hollywood soundstage, Raymond Lawrence starring in tonight's production, Game Hunt. A tale well calculated to keep you in... suspense. The rain started to fall approximately 45 minutes after R. Cross and the native entered the stand of grass. Mr. Babson took refuge under a tree from where he could watch the jackal and the hyena whirring the remains of the zebra and the increasing numbers of vultures patiently awaiting their turn. He fully admitted to himself now that he'd been wrong ensuring the lie and the way he did. He was filled with self-incrimination at having sent two men to search out a danger that he had caused. He imagined their bodies being torn by the jackal and the hyena with the vultures waiting their turn. The center of the stand of grass was now a place of dull gray light and darker shadows and a place of sound. The beat of the rain and the gusty wind made any attempted silence unnecessary. In a way this was good because talk was a tension release that R. Cross very much needed. You still find sign in this much, Charlie? Too much, Bonner. He stayed on the old trail and his wife has been to him. Has been to him? See? Here. He's limping on the right leg in the back. Look at the size of that forepaw. He's bigger than I thought. Here are hers going the other way again. That puts her behind us now. She's hunting us, Charlie. We'll move on ahead. I'll watch the back trail. Charge may come from there first. This close, Bonner. Blood spores here again. We're very close. Or the rain would have washed it away, you see? Very close, Charlie. It'd be nice if we could see farther into this grass. We'll rest here for a while. You know why I wanted to stop, don't you? I've never seen this in you before. My robe of fear. And I'm not ashamed to show it to you because you're my friend and you've seen me in better times. Flash, please, Charlie. Quit this business. You'll stop all hunting? Except for a table and get a city job, a nice, safe, dull job in the city where you can go home every night after work. I've been a... She's still behind this? I've been a good hunter. It's been said that I think like an animal when I'm on the stalk that I know what the game's going to do before it's done. I've seen this with you. Not any more. Not after my robe. It left me. After the woman I thought only as a man. I've been very bad with Mr. Babson. I'm even very bad right now. You may have crossed the trail. Did you see her? Yes, Warner. I'm going to put her out of the way. We can't have her trading along behind. Where did she, Charlie? It was close to the ear that she crossed. Oh, father ahead, Warner. I see it now. Come on. If he fired it, I hope he did better than the last time. Is that you? Yes. You all right? I'm fine. I got the female. Then some of the grass against the wind so that we can locate you. Well, I see it. Here she is. She never did see me. She's lying with her back to me in the old game trail, looking in your direction, I guess. They are waiting for us. We were stalking each other. When she got up to move to the side, I saw my sights on her shoulder as simple as that. Oh, isn't she a beauty? Yes. Lovely. I had to go well next to the males. Where is he? We've been only a few paces away from him, but we haven't seen him yet. Mr. Babson, I told you to stay out in the clearing. Why'd you come in here? Because I felt like a coward letting you two finish a job that I'd bunk. I want you to go back. You've done enough for us killing the female. It was my excitement and bad shooting that caused it all. It's my responsibility more than yours. I'm saying with you. I'd call myself a coward every time I looked at my trophies if I didn't. All right. It's your privilege. If any time you feel like turning back, do it. I won't turn back. I'll be all right. Here is where we were close to him. The blood is gone, but his marks still show. They stay on the trail. Not for long, I think. Let's find out how long. Here we are. He's off to the left. His back leg is very bad now. See here, Babson? The signs of his dragging it. It wouldn't mean anything to me without being told. I feel good now, Charlie. No now, Roby. What does that mean, no now, Roby? It's a vague term we sometimes use in our trade. Sort of unease in us. Now, this will go well if we all do our jobs carefully and calmly. You still want to stay with us, Babson? You don't have to, you know. I shouldn't want to. I suppose what I do... I feel good. I'm calm. I said a lot of bad things about you, Mr. Babson, and I thought a lot worse. I'm sorry. Oh. Now, this is really quite simple. We'll move in the line a few paces apart. You're on my left, Charlie, on my right. When he decides to come, he'll charge anything that moves, so freeze when he starts. Charlie and I'll draw his attention and swing his charge towards us. Well, this isn't a favor you, Babson. He's got a target. I'll have him broadside, you mean. Right. And don't move your position and keep firing until your rifle is empty. Reload and start firing again. We'll be doing the same. But he can carry a lot of steel. Right. A few paces this way for me. That's good. All right, Charlie. Take us to him. Yes, brother. Charlie, ahead. See the tops of the grass moving against the wind? I see it. I don't think we know where he is. All right, Babson. I'd like to see him. You will. Carefully now. We'll be less than 20 paces away when we first see him. Do you see him? Don't fire. We want him closer. Good lord. Hold, hold, Babson. He'll swing in this way. I can't stay. Freeze, Babson. Don't run. I can't hold. I can't. Cut! Does he die? Careful, Charlie. He's dead, Warner. He doesn't look it, Charlie. You'd think he's ready to charge again, wouldn't you? He's dead. No, he isn't. Not for Mr. Babson, he isn't. Warner. Get the trophy hunter and bring him here. Load his gun with expanding ammunition. Bullets to finish the thing. To smash it. I understand. I'm ashamed that I ran, but I just couldn't help it. There was nothing I could do. Of course there wasn't. Your first time and all? Where is he? From here. I'll show you. Over there. You can just see his head. Oh, yes, I see him. He'll be ready to charge again if we let him rest. I thought you'd like the final shots. I would. Put your sights right under his ear and a bit to the front. Check the safety. Go ahead. I hit him. Again, don't take any chances. One more. That'll do it, I think. Let's take a look at him. Congratulations, Mr. Babson.  But his head. He's worthless as a trophy. It's ruined. Isn't it a shame? I'm afraid it had to be this way. It's one of those things. It was a gesture of contempt toward many trophy hunters. The destruction of an already dead trophy. Childish perhaps for a man of our crosses age and experience. But it was important to him as the final act of his last hunt. Something that would be told and retold when old hunters gathered in Nairobi. A retribution that would be understood by the others. A thing that should happen to all uncontrollable gut shooters. The fear that was so important a part of the situation would never be mentioned. Except perhaps sometime very late at night to his wife when there would be true understanding of it. Suspense Raymond Lawrence starred in tonight's presentation of Game Hunt.

A remembrance ceremony was held aboard Naval Station Mayport to honor the sailors killed aboard USS Stark 26 years ago. It's a memorial and according to my dictionary, anything meant to help people to remember some person or event. I would like to focus on the other aspect of that definition, the people, the persons involved. 37 sailors were killed when two Iraqi missiles struck the ship on May 17, 1987. Every year since the attack, Mayport has held a ceremony commemorating the bravery and sacrifice of that heroic crew. The current CEO of the Naval Station and everyone in between, they have made this happen every year for 26 years and I hope that it will go on for 26 more years at least because we owe them that legacy, that obligation.
