Question is from Michael Salzel. If you had to add an exercise to the big four to make it the big five, which exercise would it be? So I'm assuming the big, because it's the big three, but easily number four, I would consider overhead press. So squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Okay. That's, that would be the big four, right? So what do you guys think would be a fifth exercise? If you had to throw it in there, either, either a bent over row, um, would be in there. Here's the thing, you're, I mean, you're, you're doing an incredible job with those big four of kind of attacking everything, right? You're, there's not a part of them. There's not a muscle that is not going to get worked if you do the big four. But I think another just staple, uh, exercise that has so much value, uh, a bent over row, maybe that's what I was going to say. Yeah. I would say either a row or a pull up or a lunge, maybe. Yeah. I was actually going to go in the lunge direction, mainly because if I could say like a multi-directional lunge, so that way I get more planes of, of, uh, you know, represented in this, uh, you know, list. But again, that's from the functional side of, of my thought process. Yeah. No, I like that. I like thinking of something that's either, you know, rotational or anti-rotational. So you get some benefits there that, that I think are, are incredible. The reason why these exercises are called the big three or big four or whatever is because the, just the, the results you get from these exercises. Yeah. They're just huge bang for your buck. It's really, really hard. And of course this isn't going to be true for every single person, but it's true for most people that, uh, you know, for leg development, for example, um, or lower body strength, functional strength and lower body development, it's hard to find one exercise that could compete with a squat for most people. Right. Um, you know, bench press, great horizontal pressing movement. You're getting the chest and the shoulders and the trices overhead press, very important to be able to lift something up above your head. A deadlift, you've got the hip hinging, but I think a row or a pull up because, uh, probably a row because you're not getting that like full extension and retraction that, that pulling back of the shoulder blades. Right. I think that would be better. And if you just combine those, and it's funny, that's like basically the workout I did for a while when I was a kid. Really? I was like, yeah, I was like, those five and I got the best gains doing just those, oh, if you have to reduce it all down. You're hitting like from every angle. It is. Um, you know, I would even make this argument. I would even say that the big three, you could probably interchange bench press and overhead press in terms of functional. Wouldn't you guys, what do you guys think? Well, that's why I think that makes it the big four, right? The four would be the overhead press. Like you got to have, I feel like that needs to be in there.  Totally. And you know, the more you really, when you really break down like human function and the things that we're supposed to be able to do, um, believe it or not, running is probably going to be up there. Um, it's something that we just don't do and we suck at. And, but it takes a long time. It takes a long time of training and mobility work to get there. It's just not one of the, to that point, that's why I'm making the case for like lunging, uh, is I think because we spend most of our time on, on one leg, you know, we're technically, uh, we don't walk with both feet together. We'd be hopping everywhere. Now from, from an aesthetic standpoint, if you're thinking like just developing an aesthetic body, um, I'd then, I'd say the row, right? It would have to be the row because the deadlift, although it hits the back, it doesn't, uh, fully get that, I guess that shoulder blade pullback position that you would get with the barbell row, but I get those will probably be the most important exercises. I'd say this, if you're working out and you're not doing those movements weekly, uh, you're probably missing out. Now it depends on the routine that you're doing, but you should probably do those movements or version of them. Yeah. These are all like hitting your foundational base of strength. And that's why I think it's good to have it all bilateral. And like everything is about like that, that gross motor movement and just building, you know, overall muscular development. And then we can get into the nuanced stuff and, and, you know, in access to that, where we're talking about like split positions, we're talking about, you know, lateral type exercises, like all that can kind of work around that. Well, the thing that's great too, about like the big three or the big four is that it's for most people, it's, it's going to be challenging to perform it perfect. And so the, the value isn't just in the doing the three movements. It's actually all the things that you should do probably to get better at those movements, if that makes sense. Absolutely. So that's part of the great value of just sticking to those three or four movements as staples. Yeah. As staples, isn't just that, oh, you just only do those. It's that, oh, wow, I, when I squat, I can't, you know, I can't break 90 degrees and I, I noticed that my knees cave in and it's like looking at it and saying, wow, it's far from perfect. Now, what are all the things I should be adding to my routine to complement this or to improve this movement? And you could spend years and years on just those, those movements and all the things that you should do to improve those movements. And that's what makes them, I think, in my opinion, so superior. And then when you get to a point, when you have a beautiful overhead press, you have a beautiful bench press, you have a beautiful squat, you have a beautiful deadlift, holy shit, now that the carryover that that has to all the rest of your body, I mean, that's why it's called the big three and it's the the irony, although it's more, it's better communicated today than ever. It's still not communicated well enough, because the irony is if you go to the average gym, those four or five exercises, if we throw in the barbell row, are the ones you see people do the least, except for maybe the bench press, bench press, you tend to see, you know, people get on the bench, probably because it turned into a way of guys that brag or whatever.  You don't see that much. No, no, and I feel like it needs to be communicated better to the average person, because the average person, not only don't they know that the benefits of resistance training, but the ones that finally go to the gym and say, okay, I'm going to do some resistance training, the exercises they pick are like, boy, you're you could be spending that time doing something that's far more effective than the exercises that you tend to do. Right. I mean, this is things I used to do with clients. And to get this point across is I would actually take those three or four movements and, you know, split it up over three or four days and like, you know, just two movements, right? We're just going to squat and overhead press today. And the whole routine would be around improving the squat and improving the overhead press.  You can go through it for art for sure. Ours we have a ton of tutorials and videos to help you get a better overhead press, to help you get a better squat, to help you get a better deadlift and all the exercises, movements, mobility drills that we provide in there. I mean, that you should be doing that to compliment and just trying to improve the squat, like just making that a goal. Like, Hey, I want to get better at my squat. Hey, I want to get better at my overhead press and all the movements and exercises that you do besides those movements are all ones that are designed to compliment or improve those movements. There's so much value in just focusing on that alone.


My name is Eric Milton, I'm a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, an entomology student, so a lot of this is gonna be focused a bit on insects, but the project that I've been working on and what I'm gonna be talking to you today is about floral plantings and agriculture, how we can use these floral plantings to maximize quality of our protection and also to try to promote pest suppression all at the same time. So as an outline of what I'm gonna be talking about, also very clearly in the back, if you can't hear me, raise your hand, let me know. Also in general, I'd say move up if you can, because it's not very bright, some of the stuff might get hard to see. But as an outline of what I'm gonna be talking about, first we're gonna go into the background about floral plantings, what are they, where do you use them, why do you want them there? This will segue nicely to the benefits these floral plantings can have for growers, what kind of good things we can expect to have if you put these floral plantings in around your crops. Then we'll go into the background of my project, go into what we did, the results that we found, and see how this ended up affecting pollinators and also insect predators. And finally, we'll get you a bit of application for berry growers, how you can utilize this information and utilize our findings, and how these floral plantings can actually be very beneficial for you.  Originally I was working in berries, my project had to switch a bit, but even though I'm working with flowers around a potato field, these results do apply very nicely to other crops. And that's illustrated by the fact that originally we were going to work in berries. Berries are actually a very good crop to have these floral resources around. So although my results are talking about potato fields, this does relate very well to berries and we will go into a bit of other research that other people have done and tie all that together pretty nicely. But jumping right into it, floral plantings and agriculture. So first off, what are we talking about when we say floral plantings? What is it that we were referring to? Well, usually it's perennial wildflower plantings that are planted around the edges of fields. And that gets up the next question of, where is it usually used? It's oftentimes put in the unproductive margins of fields where you normally have just sort of grass or other things growing unmanaged land. Sometimes it's actually sown within the field itself. You have strips of wildflowers intercrop with everything else. That's a bit less common. What we're going to be talking about is when it's actually in the margins of fields. If you look in the background of this slide, you can see that behind that yellow sign and around that yellow sign, there's this wildflower planting they have there, which is underneath power lines and between the road on the left and the crops on the right. So again, generally unused land that you can then have this wildflower seed mixture planted there. And what do you hope to accomplish when you put these floral plantings in? Well, first and foremost, you want there to be a stable source of flowers throughout the year. And this source of flowers can attract beneficial organisms and this will then provide benefits to the grower in the form of what we call ecosystem services. And for those of you who haven't heard the term ecosystem services, I'll be using it a lot. And what that is, it's a very broad term and includes quite a few different things. But for the most part, it can be defined as an ecosystem service if it is a value that is provided by the environment to humans. And usually minimal or no input is required from us humans in order to get this benefit after initial sort of establishments, period. And so usually this results in higher yields, but it can also lead to reduced costs by reducing the inputs. You don't have to use as many pesticides. You don't have to bring in managed honey bees to pollinate, things like that. But it also can include other novel benefits or even novel sources of revenue. And to get at what some of these ecosystem services are, this might be kind of hard for you guys to read, but there's a whole list of them all right here. This is not all of them. This is just quite a few that there are. There's things like weed suppression, biological control, which is predation of pests. There's things like conservation, erosion control, ecotourism, that's one of those novel sources of revenue we're talking about. Things like aesthetics, it just looks prettier. And then also things like water retention and increasing the amount of carbon present in the soil. And this figure also shows a very neat thing, which is sort of the stack of services right here. And this gets the idea of stack ecosystem services. If you put in floral plantings, you probably won't just get one of these benefits. You'll instead get multiple benefits from it. So with floral plantings, what do we hope to accomplish? Well, if they do indeed provide flowers throughout the season, first and foremost, we would hope that this will help us to conserve beneficial organisms. These flowers are present. They're not something that's normally there in an agro-ecosystem. So more insects or more other beneficial organisms will come and be attracted to that. Beneficial organisms could be pollinators, all kinds of different bees that can then pollinate your crops. It could be predators that can move in there or it could be you want to preserve more charismatic species, say like monarch butterflies or something like that. Those would all fall into the category of beneficial organisms. And then if you do attract something like pollinators, you would then hope that they are attracted to the flowers. They move into the adjacent crops and you get some sort of pollination service. If you're working with something like blueberries, that could be very important where you actually need pollination in order to get good free set. And then another similar thing, you could promote the predation of pests. Predators are attracted to a wildflower planting. They then move into the field and they also will eat pests that might be economically damaging. So those are three pretty easy to measure, different ecosystem services that I'm going to talk about, but there's also a couple of more intangible things that can be provided. As you can see here in the background, these are all members of the EPA who are on a farm inspecting a floral planting that has been put in by a grower. And this gets at the idea that an ecosystem service that these plantings can provide is meeting sustainability initiatives or goals of environmental stewardship. These are things that companies often want to do or have to do based on different requirements. And so this is a really good way to do that. You have all these flowers there. And also this looks really good to other people in a lot of scenarios. You get good PR, it can appeal to your consumers. It shows that you do and you care about the environment or having sustainable practices. So both of these are somewhat harder to quantify, but they're both very important because these are two of the primary reasons why a lot of growers actually put these flower plantings in the first place. So right here we have a whole bunch of different benefits that these floral plantings can provide, conserving beneficial organisms, having pollinators present, predators that move into your field and hopefully suppress pests. And then also those two more intangible ecosystem services at the end. And as I said before, we're focusing more on those first three because there's something that I could measure. That's what my project and research is dealing with. But don't forget about those last two because we will talk about them a little bit at the end and they are very important. Now, there are some unknowns related to those ecosystem services. And the biggest ones is that the results often do vary case by case. If you put in these wildflowers, you're almost certainly going to attract more beneficial organisms. But if you do attract more pollinators, do they actually move into your crops? Do they actually provide additional pollination? Or if you attract more predators, do they have an appreciable impact on pests? Again, do they move into your crops?  Or you will actually see a benefit from it. And they finally, one of the last things that is oftentimes a bit unknown is how compatible this is with conventional agriculture because usually it's smaller growers who put in these kinds of floral plantings. So my project tries to answer or at least get at the answers for a lot of these different questions. So the background for my project, we are working with Artie Offit, who is, excuse me. Artie Offit, who's a very large producer of potatoes. And they have farms across the country, but they have one very large farm, as you can see here around Park Rapids, which is in North Central Minnesota. And they've got quite a few fields that are also quite large. They're about a kilometer in diameter. And on the edges in these unproductive margins, like we were talking about, they've sown a mixture of flowers there. So where there's normally sort of grass or maybe trees or shrubs, you now have this big patch of flowers growing. And they put these in with the goal of promoting pollinators and trying to conserve pollinators that might not normally be able to survive in this area. And this is a commercial seed mixture that they used, which was created by Shingenta and pheasants forever. And again, this seed mixture, the stated goal is to try to promote pollinators. So with all that in mind, this was a kind of great experimental setup where we could test something in the real world here. And we wanted to see how well these floral plantings actually worked. So first and foremost, we wanted to ask, do the plantings establish well? If somebody wants to put in these flowers, will they actually result in more flowers and a greater number of blooms and a wider range of species? And will they last throughout the season? We also wanted to know, do these floral plantings actually attract pollinators? That's what it's sold as doing. So does it actually work as advertised? Do you get more pollinators attracted to both the margins with flowers and do these pollinators move into the field? And finally, we wanted to get at the idea of stacked ecosystem services and ask, do the floral plantings also improve the predation of pests? That is not a selling point of the seed mixture, but oftentimes as we've seen, you can get these multiple benefits. So those are the three questions that we wanted to try to answer with my research. We'll get right into the results of it, starting with floral cover. And so here on the X-axis, we have our treatment flowers, which will basically always be on the right-hand side here, means that the margin had that wildflower mixture put in and control means that there was no wildflower mixture, it's just an unmanaged margin, usually grass and shrubs. And in this case, on the Y-axis, we have floral cover, which just means basically the number of flowers and the size of it, how much area they took up. As you can see here, the flower bar is quite a bit higher. It is pretty clear in this case that these floral plantings did lead to a greater number of flowers being present. And this seems like kind of an obvious result, but it is actually a very important thing. In some cases when people put in these wildflower plantings, especially if the seed set's not designed very well, that doesn't actually do anything. So it's really important to know that yes, you do get more flowers if you use this particular seed mixture at least. We also didn't just look at floral cover, we looked at floral richness, do you get a wider range of flowers? And again, X-axis is the same, Y-axis is now the number of species. The results are very similar. When you put in this wildflower planting, you get not only a greater number of flowers, but you get a greater variety of species of flowers being there. So to answer that first question, do these floral plantings establish well? Yes, it seems so. They led to more flowers covering more area. They also led to a greater number of species. And these flowers, most importantly, would bloom throughout the season, so they provide that stable source of resources for beneficial organisms. So check, check, and check. That was all good. Fall plantings did indeed establish well. But we're gonna move on to the slightly more interesting topic of pollinators. Did it bring in a greater number of bees and other beneficial organisms that can help to pollinate? Come on, there we go. So, axis is the same again. Now the Y-axis this time is the number of pollinators that we found, on average, each time we went out and sampled. And we found a very similar result to what we found with how well the flowers did in that the flowers did indeed attract a significantly higher number of pollinators. And this, again, is an exciting result. It shows that, yes, more pollinators are being attracted to these flowers, and again, this seems to be working as advertised. But we weren't just interested in the number of pollinators present. We also wanted to know how does the pollinator species richness fair? Are we attracting a more diverse community to this area? And unfortunately here, it doesn't seem like that's the case. The flowers are basically exactly the same. They're not statistically significantly different from each other. And so this is important because we were attracting a greater number of pollinators, but we're not actually conserving a wider range of species. So if that's your goal to use a floral mixture like this, do not just bring in more pollinators, but also to try to conserve, you know, a wider number of species, it's definitely possible that it might not work out so well. At least that's what our results indicate for right now. Now, moving on to pollination. Are you actually getting these pollinators moving into your field and pollinating your crops? Well, we were working in potatoes and we didn't quantify pollination because the potatoes don't need it. We're not planting these potatoes from seed, at least in this case. So we didn't directly quantify pollination, but there was a good proxy for that. And that's just looking at how many pollinators are present in the field. Because if there are pollinators present in the field, we could assume if there were flowers, they might very well be pollinating them. So we wanted to determine if the pollinators move into the crop. And with that in mind, here is what we found. This one's a little bit more complicated, but y-axis, sorry, x-axis on the bottom, we have meters from the margin. So the further to the right we go, the further into the crop we are. Zero meters, in the case we're in the margin itself, y-axis is the number of individuals. And here, the sort of light green is when we had a control margin, the teal is when we had flowers in the margin. And you can see right off the bat that the further we go into the crop, the fewer pollinators we find. There's quite a few pollinators present in the margins, but they don't seem to really be going very far into the crop. Even at the edge, 10 meters in, there's very few pollinators that are actually moving from those margins into the crop. So yeah, few pollinators are going very far into our cropping system. That's not the only thing we were interested in. We also wanted to see are more pollinators being attracted by the flowers. And it's kind of small, but you can see that these teal bars are higher than the green bars there. And we ran the analysis, this was actually significant. So it's true that the flowers did lead to more pollinators being present in the crop, although there's not very many pollinators in general who are going to be there in the first place. So looking at our results for pollinators and for pollination, do the flow of plant-based attract pollinators? Well, yes, it seems so. The flowers did indeed attract more pollinators to the edge of the crop. But they did not increase the number of species present. We didn't get a more diverse community. And so our goal of conservation might not be being met in that case. And there were more pollinators present in the crop when we had the flowers, but it was a very small increase in numbers. There weren't that many to begin with. So if we are actually looking to increase rates of pollination, this might not work out so well. So next, we're going on to the final point that we looked at, which is predation of pests. Are we attracting predators? Are they going into the crop and are they eating different pest organisms? And so we utilized sensinal prey, which in our case was egg masses from Colorado potato beetle, which is the main pest in potatoes. And we put those inside the margins. That's in the flowers themselves or inside the grassy control areas. And the reason we did that was we wanted to test, first of all, are their organisms being attracted to the flowers that will eat insects or eat these pets at all? And then we would also look at inside the crop. But first, we wanted to make sure that this was actually working inside the margins themselves. On the Y axis, we have the number of eggs missing or consumed. X axis is the same as usual. I think this speaks for itself pretty well. This flower bar is a lot bigger than the other one. In the margins that had flowers, predators were coming and they were eating these eggs at a much, much higher rate than in the control margins. So this is an exciting result because it indicates that if you put in these flowers, you are attracting predators and these predators will eat these different pests that might be present. So that's great. That's in the margin though. It's not in the crop where we actually wanted. So we decided to put the eggs in the crop as well and see what we got. And fortunately, this is a very different result. They look like they're different. They're actually not in fact, they look like maybe one egg consumed in general. Almost no effect here. So it seems that the predators might be attracted, well, the predators are being attracted to the flowers. They're showing up. They do want to eat these pest organisms but they're not moving from those margins into the crop itself, which is where we actually want this predation to occur. So do floral plantings improve the predation of pests? Well, they do attract predators. The flowers do indeed attract predators. Those predators will eat more pests inside the margin themselves but the benefit in our case at least does not seem to extend into the crop, which is where of course we actually wanted to be happening. So as an overview of all the different results that we found, first and foremost, the floral plantings did indeed increase floral cover and richness, so that's good. It's performing as advertised. Additionally, it led to increased abundance of pollinators. So again, it's bringing in more pollinators from the surrounding area, which is exactly what we want to see. And it did lead to increased predation of pests in the margin and it clearly was attracting predators. However, there was no change in the pollinator richness, not a more diverse community. Few of those pollinators were actually moving into the potato fields themselves and there was no increase in the rate of predation at the actual edge of the crop. So most of the research that's been done with these floral plantings around berry crops has been done around blueberries. Blueberries require pollination, more so than things like raspberries. And so this is a really good system for people to be studying these floral plantings in. And in general, one of the results they found was that small fields under a hectare in size, so pretty small fields, relied almost exclusively on wild pollinators. So if you have really small fields like this, floral plantings could be especially helpful here. You attract more of these wild pollinators, they come in pollinate, you don't need to bring in other managed beehives. And this is true across the board, even for larger fields, which they'd also studied from this, you can't read it probably, but Balau and Isaacs. They found that wildflowers did indeed increase pollination in the adjacent crops. And in their study, it reduced in some cases completely eliminated the need to bring in honey beehives to help pollinate these blueberry crops. They also looked at if they increased the predation of pests and they found that it actually did. Their results were a little bit more intriguing than ours, but they had something very similar where when they put stuff in the margin of the fields, that's where the most predation was and the predation dropped off pretty precipitously the further into the field you went. So it was a bit better, but it wasn't great still. So predation seems to be less likely to occur from here. But probably the most exciting result they had was they found that these wildflower plantings were found to be economically beneficial after just a couple of years. So this graph shows on the y-axis, well, start with x-axis. The x-axis is the number of years since the wildflower planting has been put in and the y-axis is the cumulative profit in dollars. And we have three different scenarios here. There's one with like a maximum price where berries are selling very well and you get a subsidy from the government for putting in these wildflower plantings. We have the average price of berries with no subsidy and it's sort of a worst case scenario which is where berries are not selling well and you have no subsidy. And you can see all these lines start below zero of the cumulative profit because it costs money to put in these wildflower plantings. And starting first with the sort of best case scenario, maximum price with the subsidy, they found that after three years, you start to turn a cumulative profit. That these wildflower plantings attract enough pollinators where you get increased yields, you don't have to bring in additional de-hives and it saves you enough money that after three years, you start to turn a profit on this. But of course, that's the best case scenario in the slightly more realistic probably and worst case scenarios. After about four to five years, that's when they start to turn a profit. I realize now you cannot see this line at all for the minimum price, but it goes right about here. So after four years, they found even sort of under the worst case scenario, these wildflower plantings would start to pay for themselves. In this case, they were working with a four hectare blueberry field and a pretty large wildflower planting of about half a hectare. So if you have large wildflower plantings and you're working in blueberries like this, it is very possible that you will actually start to see some tangible economic benefits from putting these in. So what can you expect if you do in fact put in one of these wildflower plantings? Well, you're very likely to conserve beneficial organisms. You'll attract pollinators, you'll attract predators, you might attract some of these other charismatic insects. That seems to be pretty certain that that will happen. You're also likely to provide pollination to the crops. We found we attracted a lot more pollinators and combining that with the results that they found in other studies, it seems you will get additional pollination to crops like blueberries. In terms of promoting the predation of pests, that seems less likely. Our results indicated that was unlikely to happen. Other studies have found it a little bit better, but probably not something you should rely on that predators will be attracted to your flowers and that they will move into the adjacent crops. And finally, these last two sort of more intangible ecosystem services or goals. This is something you'd have to decide for yourself if you're growing berries, whether or not this meets your different desires for environmental stewardship or being sustainable. But it does seem large companies are using these floral plantings and this is the primary reason they do it. It's for good PR, it's for meeting all these different goals. And so this definitely seems like, I think a compelling reason, simply on its own to put in these wildflower plantings. And in addition, you will likely conserve beneficial organisms and probably provide additional pollination to your crops. Other people have done, yes? Do you think your results would have been different if you weren't using a potato crop? It's definitely possible because again, the results do vary case by case. And so I will talk about that a little bit. Some people did some research with wildflowers here, but yes, that is a very good point. It will be different. So if you're attracting pests to the trap, let's call your pollinator having a trap crop. Yes. You're attracting beneficial predators to the trap crop. So if we've got insects that move in from the edges of the field, you're killing those insects before they move into your field. When you say insects, you mean pest insects? Pest insects, yes. Yes. So that is definitely possible where it's like if you have all these pests that might be moving in from the edge of the field, you have these flowers there, they bring in predators, they could preemptively kill them before they move into the field. Is that what you're saying? Yes. That is definitely possible. It's a lot harder to actually figure that out. We have been measuring pests. I didn't talk about that in this talk, but we also looked at pests inside the margins of the fields as well. In our case, we didn't find many Colorado potato beetle. They seem to sort of get past that barrier and get into the crops. But it is an important point that these wildflower plantings might sort of preemptively prevent the pests from getting into the field in the first place. Where can I get more information on that seed mixture? So the seed mixture is created by singenta and pheasants forever. And I believe it's called the honey bee and monarch mix. So if you look that up, I'm sure you'll be able to find it. There are other seed mixtures that are also available. It's not like this is the only one, but this seems to be one that large producers have been using or sort of going towards. And this is a native plant primarily? It's a mixture. There's some native plants. There's also some stuff like, there's different clovers, a couple of other annuals, things like that. So it is a mixture between the two, but yes, it's about half and half, I would say. Is there any management you had in the long, the end of the year or something? You can, you don't have to.  We planted some last year in the established slope. Yes, that is important to note. It takes a couple years before it really sort of comes into its own. And at the start, at least from what we saw here, they don't look that great. They don't look very impressive. And it's just like, what did I spend my money on? But if you wait a little bit, they'll start to look a lot better. And seed cost is not cheap? No, no. So that is one thing that was nice with this particularly large corporation is that they were able to more on a whim say, hey, we're gonna do this on a couple of our fields, which is important. But on the other hand, the previous study done, they found that the costs were offset over time.


Hello, what's up? We are on twitch. We are live you can come join us if you want if not that's cool Just leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification bells My less than team to grow the family from Chicago to the UK You know I'm saying And I guess the Miami man is what they call me in the UK now I Recently did an interview What a what a one of the largest independent? news People out there in the UK And I honestly let's I'm gonna keep you in a buck with you when I did it.

If you can see this message from the Sector Crime Patrol, then you must be aware of an individual who threatens the safety of your family. A pale male of European descent has been sighted in areas near you. This individual is extremely tall and always appears naked. He has been known to stalk and kill all members of households in isolated rural areas every year, from December 22nd to January 2nd. He only attacks households which fulfill the following criteria, at least one child under the age of eight, snow cover at the time of attack. This individual will often attack and kill all members of a family in a brutal and ritualistic fashion.  The Sector Crime Patrol has yet to detain this individual, but you can help arrest this dangerous criminal. If your household fulfills the attack criteria, please report anything unusual to Sector Crime Patrol and your local authorities. You should especially report your children seeing anyone outside your house, footsteps on the roof of your house, or an unpleasant odor. Report these unusual phenomena, and the Sector Crime Patrol may be able to detain this individual before he harms anyone else. All SCP Foundation personnel are advised. SCP-4666 is entering its active phase, and may soon begin to attack households at 40 degrees north latitude. All Mobile Task Forces stationed at above 40 degrees north latitude must be ready to rapidly deploy and contain SCP-4666. A Foundation Front Company, Sector Crime Patrol has disseminated information publicly suggesting SCP-4666 is an anomalous criminal. This will hopefully lead to civilians reporting SCP-4666 related activity, and may facilitate Foundation containment. The SCP Foundation will secure and contain SCP-4666, and protect all members of the public.


A more organized aberration came where the English tried to educate Indians the way they want. They said they may be brown of skin, but they must think like us, their values must be what ours are. Almost every day, I never came home without being beaten for something. So, this effort is very appreciative. In many ways it is positive. Sudden change may make it collapse totally, because first you have to educate the teachers how to be. In a much-needed move, the Government of India recently announced sweeping changes in the education policy for the first time in 34 years. I am keen to know your review of the new policy. Well, India's education for millennia was conducted in a certain way, where education was designed to integrate you into life process, without life process overwhelming you, that everybody had freedom to choose. Probably, if you look back a thousand or fifteen hundred years ago, the only culture on the planet where nearly ninety to ninety-five percent of the women were literate is India. Nowhere else this happened that long ago. Education is very, very recent for women in the rest of the world. I'm telling you, all ladies, recently educated. But education was part of both male and female populations in India for a very long time, which changed in the last six hundred to eight hundred years, because of aberrations that happened to that culture. And about hundred and fifty, two hundred years ago, a more organized aberration came, where the English tried to educate Indians the way they want. Very clearly they defined it, they had no ambiguity about what they wanted. They said they may be brown of skin, but they must think like us, their values must be what ours are. Like this they went on, schooling system was very, very cruel. Similar things have happened in America for the native Americans. The English education was a cruel system of trying to contain a child in a room and beaten for twelve years with some rubbish that doesn't mean anything to him. I escaped. So this happened in India in a much larger scale, an organization, than the way it happened here. So when this happened, what was their intent of educating the Indian populace? The only thing is, they wanted... they found Indians were very good with mathematics, languages, because they... everybody spoke four, five languages, they could pick up any language easily. And they're very good without using even their fingers, without using paper, even today it is true. I think the present generation is completely losing it because of the gadgets. Otherwise, when we are growing up, even today, we can count things, multiply things, divide things in our mind without using any other instrument. So they found this very valuable, they thought these guys will make good clerks and accountants for her majesty's service, because the ambition was to take the entire world. And you needed very docile, honest, hardworking people who will never rebel, who don't have bloodthirsty-ness in them, who are very calm, who will never organize revolutions or anything. They will just do their work. You put them in slavery, they will think this is their karma, and they will just do that also. Well, when they saw this attitude, they thought of all the nations they had colonized at that time. India looked like an ideal place to educate and make sure this whole enterprise of... recall this, this whole enterprise of imperialism will be staffed by Indians. And it was, even a large part of British army, both in World War I and World War II, was Indian soldiers who fought for fifty paisa a day, understand? They did not even give them shoes, they were just wearing sandals, Indian jodhpuris, and they were in the trenches in France and nearly some hundred and fifty thousand men lost their toes and their feet because they were in ice cold temperatures with no shoes. So they found, in spite of that they fought with minimal food because they were told to fight because this thing is there in India if you take something from somebody. The present day Indians may be losing it, but generally, traditionally, it is called as, I have eaten something from you. That means I'll always do the best for you. Suppose you give me one day's food, that's it. Only one day you fed me in my life, I'll always remember that and always serve you in the best possible way for that one thing. So this is called namak that I've eaten the salt from your hands because this comes from the understanding of runanabhanda. If I've taken salt from your hands, that means we are one. So they use this in a big way and educated Indians, the way it is necessary to fill all the clerical and accounting posts across the world, which they fulfill pretty well. But in this education process, the most important thing is obedience, not intelligence, not ingenuity, not unfolding of individual genius. It is obedience. You must obey, otherwise you'll be punished. This brought, was brought in. Maybe in the current generation, according to the Indian laws, you can't beat a child in the school, but when we were growing up, why should I tell you all this? I don't think, you know, almost every day, I never came home without being beaten for something. Like this, like this, sometimes they get cruel like this on the knuckles, tumble, tumble. So I went there only when it was absolutely necessary because what are... what are they trying to do? So this education system, mildly, was transformed in 50s and 60s, a little bit of change, but didn't have the courage to shift it totally because changing a whole system can lead to collapse. Did not have the wherewithal and the money and finances to do it. I'm glad though it took so much time at least now it's happening, I feel it should have happened much earlier. We could have done this in 90s, but it came to 2020 and now we are making changes. If you ask me personally, I'm very appreciative of the changes that have happened, but I'm not satisfied because I would like more drastic changes. First thing is liberate the children from this tyranny. Everybody is talking about, even day before yesterday, I was in conversation with the minister. I... well, if a child goes to farm with his father and learns how to farm, this is called as child labour and the father can be arrested because he took his son and made him work there. But school is a horrible labour, in my experience it was. Now we are trying to create schools which doesn't feel like labour, otherwise and it's a tyrannical labour because this moment you tell me you learn this language, I'm just beginning to read and understand.  Well, this is tyranny of the worst kind. At your whim, you try to change and shift the child's focus from this to that, that to this.  This is a factory designed to feed other factories. The whole education system is designed unfortunately to cater to the economic engine that is running, which is your personal interest, it's not child's interest. Education should be about blossoming a human being to their fullest. Well, this may sound too idealistic, are we capable of doing this in the nation? Should we not produce accountant, should we not produce engineer, should we not produce many medical sciences? Yes we should, I'm not questioning it. Tell me, at the age of six or seven, you are trying to understand how, let us say, how hydrogen and oxygen comes together and becomes water. Tell me, did you really understand or did you just start believing it? So you are propagating a new religion. Nobody understood how two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen became water at the age of seven or eight, even now you have not understood, as far as I'm concerned. I have not. So you just start believing it. So if all you want to do is propagating a new religion, which doesn't get you anywhere, well all the best. At least now there is an effort to make this more relaxed, that what is said in the school is not absolute. School provides an ambience for the child to interact with his own age group and also develop a thirst for knowing. This is all a school should do, to inject a new level of thirst to know something every day new. And of course, information and other things are available, especially today in today's world where information is everywhere. Propagating information is no more a school. A school should become largely an inspirational place. Information is available everywhere. What human wisdom could not do, it looks like the virus is doing. Now suddenly everybody's understood. I've been talking about this incessantly for the last ten, twelve years. It is time that there is nothing being taught in the school. The only purpose, you know our schools are like this, we don't have trained teachers. Only people who are well educated, who are well behaved, who are well cultured, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and nurture, so that they don't take to wrong things. They don't take to anything which is damaging to their life. That's all the concern is. Rest of it let them grow up. First of all, these words which have gotten implanted into human psyche and in the languages, it is very... it's only in America I hear this. When I ask people something about their background, they say, I was raised Jewish, I was raised Catholic. Why are you being raised? Only cattle are raised. Human beings should not be raised, human beings should grow up. If human beings have to grow up, there is a certain ambience and atmosphere that is nurturing for their growth. That is all a school should create. Right now, if you want these plants to flower, you don't go there and pull flowers out of the plant. All you do is maintain the atmosphere in the soil, water, sunlight, whatever else it needs. You just maintain the ambience. The plant will flower. You cannot make it flower. Right now, school looks like you want to pull flowers out of people's heads or whatever else. No, you only interested in pulling money out of their heads because the entire damn world has become economy, economy, economy. All right? Economic system is here to serve humanity. Humanity is not here to serve the economic system. I think that's in that sense without disrespecting unfortunate loss of life and suffering that people are going through or hearts are with you for that. But in terms of relegating the economic system to secondary level from being a primary thing has been in some way achieved by this virus. Right now, staying alive and staying healthy is more important than how much bank money you got. It's a very good happening for the human beings. This should have happened of our own wisdom, which is what these centers are, where nobody's thinking money. We are living in a way that there are many people who are living with me who not thought money for the last 10-20 years because money doesn't mean anything to them. I have developed people around me that if you put a... you know, you open up the federal bank to them, they'll walk in thinking, what is there to read? It's not even a library because it doesn't mean anything to them. Because what money can buy doesn't matter to them. Of course we all eat, all this is there, but for that you don't have to run such a horribly destructive economic engine which is just ripping the life out of this planet. So in this, if you want to correct this, this can't be corrected by crippling the economy. This can only be done by transforming our education system. So this effort is very appreciative. In many ways it is positive, but still for me it is still coming from too much fear. In a controlled way little shift is happening. But maybe there are practical problems, I understand that because in India millions of children probably around... if in Tamil Nadu alone, there are about fifteen million children in school, I think. No, I'm sorry. No, no, that's wrong. In Tamil Nadu, in the government schools in Tamil Nadu there are a million children in the government schools. A similar number is there in the private schools. So approximately maybe around two, two point two million children in Tamil Nadu. All over the country in twenty-eight states, there must be at least seventy to hundred million children in schools. If you take them up to high school, probably up to hundred, hundred twenty million children are in school. So the changes that you make for such a large structure, you will have to make it carefully. But I only hope I have also given my insights into education what needs to happen. And hope in a calibrated manner more changes will come in the coming years because to absorb these changes, for many schools to absorb these changes to create the necessary staff, to create the necessary infrastructure, it may take two, three years before they're able to implement what changes they have made which are significant. One important change that has happened which is good is children can pursue education, they can break it and again they can come back, which already is there in this country I think, but otherwise in India if you break your education you're finished. That's the end of your education. You never come back. So now there are options that you can take a break and again you can come back.  That possibility has opened up which is a great thing that is a very significant change. A certain number of children are committing suicide unable to bear the pressure because in India if you get ninety-nine percent in your examination your parents will ask, where is the other one percent? What happened? What did you do with that one percent? So the pressure of performance where in the Delhi University children who got hundred percent don't get seats for graduation courses because there are so many people who got hundred percent. So essentially the most significant aspect of this change that has happened in education policy is from route learning to a more creative way of thinking and applying themselves which is very significant. I think it's a good change. Can we make all these changes effective? You know for all these hundred million children plus instantly I don't think so but it'll take time. It's a good move. I would have expected a little more. One thing I wanted from the government which I've been pitching for especially for higher education is release them. Let the private people do whatever they want. Do not control the private schools. Government schools you decide what to teach that's up to you but private schools release them in such a way. I actually told just to the leaders of the nation, I said see I will teach nonsense and I will charge a million but the parents love it, children love it. What is your problem? Where did this come that administration starts thinking you love the children more than the parents? Where did this come from that you're concerned about the well-being of the child more than the parents? Well there are ignorant parents, they may induce them into all kinds of things. Yes, that much protection you must give but you must not assume that there are many parents who will take children in the wrong way. If they're drinking they'll take them into drinking, if they're drugging they're taking them drugging whatever compulsions they have, they will initiate their children into same compulsions and there are any number of parents who will enslave their children for their own. This thing parents are not above board completely. Any number of parents have horribly enslaved their own children. So in that sense the state has to be active and vigilant about it that is understood but still what I'm saying is easier than done. I'm not trying to say they're wrong. All I'm saying is we must continue to change. This is not like an absolute change has been done and we've achieved something. We must continue to change. Every few years more and more relaxation should happen. Education should become a joyful choice, not a compulsive extruder out of which you have to come out in a certain shape. This needs to happen everywhere in the world. In India it's necessary because it's a massive population. We need to bring a possibility where education builds beautiful human beings, not soldiers. Well, soldiers have become necessary in the world only because we have created a world full of confrontation. At least within the given society we can avoid the soldiers. At the national borders unfortunately we still need soldiers. This also would go if economic disparity in the world largely gets equalized either by everybody going up or everybody coming down one way or the other. If there is economic disparity goes away, you will see national borders will not mean much. That needs to happen but we're doing everything possible to see that doesn't happen quickly because imperialism is being practiced in so many ways, in so many subtler ways than before and new forms of imperialism is being developed in various parts of the world. So evolution of individual human being is most important. This is where education is vital, that it is evolution of individual human beings on this planet.  Educated people have been the most destructive people on the planet. Even ecologically it's only educated people for destroying this world. Illiterate people are not doing such things. Even now it is only in the cities across India, reasonably educated people who are a big virus threat, the rural population anyway maintaining social distance. In Tamil Nadu if you see, this is a culture in South India, when somebody speaks to somebody they will speak like this. They were always conscious that your breath should not touch somebody else. Now look at all of you. But once in a way you would like to raise this and cough at somebody because your freedom to cough in somebody's face. You know, this is being, protests are being taken out. Why can't I infect somebody? That is the way the world happens. Virus must, you know, transact. We all know biologically that is how it is happening. Microbial life needs to transact. But you don't have to be an active participant in it.  Well, this is what it means. Educated people on the planet should become the most responsible unconscious population on the planet. Right now unfortunately our education systems have not built this. The future generations, this is what we should aim towards as long as the Indian policymakers are seeing this as a calibrated change which will, which they will continue to change over a period of time. The present change is fine with me because I understand the largeness. It's not ideal, the changes, the small changes. Some are significant changes but I understand the size of the education machinery, sudden change may make it collapse totally because first you have to educate the teachers how to be. When they don't know how to be, suddenly changing the education system could be a disastrous process. So they're changing in installments. That's what I'm thinking, that they're changing in installments. Every few years there will be changes and changes. This needs to happen. Nobody should believe this, these changes that have been done is absolute and perfect. They are not. I must say, it reminds me. I never understood why but it was fine with me. See, by the time I finished my graduation, which is twelve plus three, fifteen years of education, I have been in thirteen different institutions. One, I can blame it on my father because he was working for Indian Railways and he was being transferred a little bit. That is one cause. But even when we stayed in one city, still I changed every year. This happened. One day Shankaran Pillai applied for a job. Then the interviewer looked at this and said, may ask many questions which all he answered properly. Then he said, you have left over fifteen jobs in your career.  Why is that? Shankaran Pillai said, I never left any of them of my own intent. That was so for me also. I never wanted to leave the school for some reason. They put me in another school and another school and another school.


Hi everyone, I'm Brian Zemurs from Okta and today I'm going to show you five tools to help improve your Java code. This video is based on a blog post I wrote, so if you'd rather read instead of watch, I'll have the link to that and the code in the description below. Let's get started. Number one, add test coverage with Jacoco. Jacoco is my favorite Java coverage tool. It works a little different than some of the others out there, so Jacoco works with a Java agent, so you can attach it to basically any Java process. So what I've done today is I've created a little Java project and I'll be using Apache Maven because I'm a Maven fan, but all of these tools work great as well. So to add Jacoco to your project, it's just a plug-in. So if I create the plug-ins definitions here and then I've saved a little time, so you don't have to watch me type this whole thing, and I've added the plug-in block already. So in this example, I have three executions for this plug-in. So the first one is really all you need and that tells Jacoco to configure the short fire test runner to add Jacoco automatically. So that is all you need to do. If you have integration tests, which we all do, you have a similar block in Maven, integration tests are run using failsafe instead of short fire, so there's minor differences, but essentially it's the same process. And the final execution I have here is to generate an HTML report. So this could go in basically any phase, but for this example, I'm going to be using the verify phase the whole time just to keep things simple. So that's all I need to do. And if I run this example, just Maven verify, it takes a second. And there we go. So I can open the report, which is in target site Jacoco index. And here we go. So you can see this project has a couple tests. It's not great, but we can drill right down into this. So there's a hotspot right here, this file utility class, which we'll get to in a moment. And we have some utility class, which has decent coverage, but we're missing something here. So we can drill right in and see it's this add method. And we could see one of these branches is missing coverage. So you could go out of test and improve that. Number two, static analysis with PMD. PMD doesn't actually stand for anything, but it's a really great tool to help you find some common problems like unused variables, imports, empty statements. So to add PMD to a project, again, I've saved a little time here. I can remember how to type PMD. So it's worth noting that the PMD plugin is one of the official plugins that's supported by the Apache Maven team. So in this plugin, I have one execution. And I'm just going to call check, and that will do everything for me. So once again, if I run Maven Verify and run to this project, we're going to start to see that I wrote some pretty terrible code. Here we go. So we have three PMD violations. So PMD, by default, outputs to an XML file so we can crack that thing open. If I can find it. There we go, PMD, XML. So you can see that in this class file utility, I have some unused imports, an empty statement, and an unused private method. So if we head over there, you can see that. So here we go is an unused import, an empty statement. And this private method isn't actually used anywhere. You may notice some other problems with this class, but we'll get to that in a minute. Number three, byte code analysis with spot bugs and find security bugs. So if you remember, this class has a few problems, and we're going to detect those right now. So we jump back to our POM. I'm going to add a plugin for spot bugs. Now spot bugs is a great little nifty plugin that will do byte code analysis to detect similar types of problems as PMD. But you'll see it's able to detect significant issues here. So once again, I have a template to add spot bugs and just this plugin block. And I've added the find security bugs plugin within a plugin. So a plugin within a plugin. Now this one will detect security related issues. So weak hashes, untrusted imports and other common issues. And I'm basically going to fail on any type of error we see. So the threshold is low, the effort is max and fail on error is true. And we have one execution, which I'm going to just run the check goal. So once again, if I run maven verify, we're going to see some other terrible, terrible issues with this code I wrote. These will output right into the console. Here we go, four bugs. So right here we have default encoding issue. We have a missing try catch block and we have an unused private method. So if I jump back to this code, you can point that out. All right, so a couple of these can be solved with using a try with resources block or even your typical try catch and then close the stream. And we're also not setting any coding here. So typically UTF-8. So I'll leave this exercise up to you to how to clean up this code. Number four, short backwards compatibility with Java API compare. This is a great little tool I've been using for the past few years and it will detect binary source and sember compatibility issues. So typically most of the time I care about binary and sember compatibility. So I'm going to focus on that. So this also has a maven plugin and I've added this block here. So simple usage, you define the plugin and then you point to the old jar file. So in this case I'm going to use a maven dependency and almost always your group ID and your artifact ID will be the same because you're just changing versions and then you'll set the version to some previous version. Now this could be 1.0, whatever you define and type as a jar and I have some parameters here. So I only want to report on modified methods. I want to break the build if anything changes and same thing with sember. I'm going to break the build on any sember related changes. However, the Java compatibility is a little tricky. For example, adding new default methods through Java interface is technically a breaking change. Most of us will allow this and that's a great way to move your APIs forward. So you can add a post analysis script and I will create one right now. And once again, just to save time, I have a template I can use to spit out all the code so you don't have to watch me type. So this looks a little funny, it's groovy. There's a lot of other variables already in the context here. For the most part, all this is doing is it's iterating through all of the classes. Anything that has changed, so not unchanged, it's going to get all of those methods and we're going to remove any new default methods. And that way we've just excluded all of them. Number five, code reviews. Don't skip them. All of these previous tools can be added to your IDE but adding them to your build ensures they get run. It also helps make your code reviews more effective by automating all of this stuff out of them. No longer will you be asked is there a test for this, right? All of that stuff can be automatically fed into your code review. That way the human element can really shine through. The best part about code reviews is it's a chance to share knowledge between the reviewer and the reviewer. And you can get down to all the subjective topics like does this code make sense? Is it clear? Those things a computer can't determine for you. Bonus round, scan your dependencies for vulnerabilities. Your libraries and applications contain dozens, if not more, direct and indirect dependencies. You need to make sure they don't contain vulnerabilities. Luckily there are a few great options around for that. I've been using the OWAS dependency check tool for years and it's been great. The only problem is there's a high rate of false positives. So these need to be managed with an excludes file. So you may end up with a few commits to your repository that are just managing this file. Next up there's dependent bot. So if anyone's using GitHub on a public repo you've probably already seen dependent bot. May have sent you pull request automatically. So that's another great choice. I've had some sort of mixed results with Maven multi-module projects in the past but I'm sure that's getting better. There are commercial options too. Sneak.io will scan your dependencies and even detect additional security issues that are not in the official NIST vulnerability database. That's it. I hope you can use these tools to help improve your code. If you liked this video, be sure to hit that like button and subscribe. You don't want to miss our future videos. Thanks for watching.

The plan that we are announcing today calls for a further reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions by 25 megatons, 25 megatons of greenhouse gases every year by 2050. And it's also though about renewing and protecting our economy because we know that British Columbians expect us to protect our environment, to protect our planet, and they also expect us to make sure that we are protecting our economy and creating jobs, especially green jobs. And that's what our plan intends to do. This is our way of making sure we take the next steps and make sure that British Columbia remains in the lead not just in this country when it comes to fighting climate change, but across North America. It's also part of our plan to make sure that we are remaining in the lead in economic growth. This plan will create 66,000 new jobs, many of them clean tech jobs across the province. But as I said, it will also make sure that we continue to lead in fighting climate change.


Got him. Got him again, dude. Hopefully that kills. Come on. Show me enough damage, and I'm all for it. Let's go Yeah The damage on this character. How's it going everybody? Datotoi here back with some more Samurai showdown online matches And today we're going to be checking out the newest character to be released, Kazuki Now this isn't a character that I see as being topped here In fact, there's actually a couple things about him that are really bad including his jump in normals You can see a lot of them just do not hit the opponent very naturally They just aren't the best jump-ins. There are some exceptional things about him Like he has a great anti air move where he just explodes and teleports behind him huge hitbox great for anti airs And then the biggest aspect of this character, of course is the damage now The only catch to the damage is that you have a move called flames of disaster Which you can stack up to three times each time you stack it you'll get a little more damage You can spend them a one by one or you can go all out with one big attack and do some insane damage like this Of course, you can also spend them to throw a huge fireball, which doesn't ton of damage as well I'll also really funny to land in an online match FIREBALL! I can't wait to see what the community thinks of him and where he ends up on a tier list But as of now let's go ahead and take him into some online ranked matches and see what we can get done with him Another hao haomaru player spotted. Wow, and this one is way more aggressive. Wait a minute Okay Jump in I couldn't punish it grab him. Welcome back down to earth, buddy Something about the way he fell on that really looked uh, I love that I want to go in for the grab here, but I can see that we're taking some damage for that So maybe now we look for the weapon flip All right, he's going he's going nuts.  Oh He's gonna fight without his alright never mind. He went for it.  We still have one tiny stack so we can build that up pretty quickly. I think Get off me. The anti air is so good with this dude Again, you got to stay out of the distance Where you tech rolling to?  It was definitely worth if he's not careful We just win this flat out like this and remind we dropped it and remind we got it Shouldn't have used three stacks for that though. Oh, that was a bit overkill. It just blew him away He had one little bit of health left and I just absolutely cremated him. All right, hold on Yep, BP this is gonna get us knocked down. Not the best look Weapon flip give it to me weapon flip acquired Got him. No, I didn't he teched it missed it again Big damage though. He wants to jump in I'm cool with that. I wish I said that earlier Do we roll out or do we just stay down? Glad we stayed down And a bit hot in the kitchen Who you shouldn't have thrown out of move buddy deflected into the super okay? I liked it. I liked it. We did a lot of good We did we did a lot of good that game took a while to say we didn't do a lot of good talking But the anti-ares were on point and that that clutch was also really nice Rematch is where things get real though now that we've both had a little time to adjust the play styles I'm expecting a little more DPs. I'm sure he's expecting a little more Antiers he got caught by a few of those and up big hit probably should just work for the normal heavy. I Knew I should have slashed there The fact that he stopped for a second to look to me was crazy Why did we do it on heavy again? All right, just do it, bro. Let's just take the damage we can get a nice little lead. We'll get one stack off this for sure I went for another load too. Oh, this is embarrassing my sword We really need it though Like really apparently we do I can't generate the flames without it did not know that All right. Well, we got to go back for it now We are just we are sitting ducks without our sword I It was worth it. No, I tried to get the heavy out or the DP didn't really work out Wow, I've really overestimated what we'd be able to do without the sword Dp'd right in the middle of it. Okay, you need more stacks anyway lock it stack. I am another good DP from him Three stacks acquired. We're in there We are in there jump in is fine with me if he wants to do that. That's a lifestyle choice Oh We're stuck. We're stuck. We're stuck. Oh, no, no Damn it. All right, you got the game, but my spirits are definitely a little higher after that dude Not after getting dp'd again though. All right. He loves that run-up grab He's gonna try to grab here pretty your weapon is mine. No, you don't get to have it You don't get to keep it anymore No, don't pick that up. Don't he did it did it's a little wily one dude. Give me it back. I Said I want the weapon back dude overhead attack low Overhead attack. No, no drop the weapon. Oh, he picked it back up at some point Home away grab him out of the it.  No wrong move. I give it back. No down heavy. Let's go Dp I should really learn to block. I should learn my place. I don't want medium heavy.  I had no supers in this town. Just a jab to the knee You could see there the damage came in clutch. Got a nice lead. I thought I was gonna win.  Geez That move is really good That move is so sick and he's gonna jump to that's crazy. Oh, you know what?  You don't you don't want to jump, huh? All right. Oh, no, I Understand now the clear error of my ways. We were both men without options. We should be fine We should be fine. We'll take the game. We'll take game two or three actually We didn't get to use our flame, but that's fine. We got the W. That's all that counts Finally, dude a cultured matchup a man of culture on the other side Mind if I get a stack or okay? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Help yourself to a stack as well Man, you want a second one and a third? Oh, I can see I cross some line. No, no, no, no Yeah, I don't know where you think this is that I can get I have to get hit. Oh wow. He wasted that I'm not really a waste. Oh That could have been good neutral jump He's asking for dude just stated there with a neutral job that is a scary situation to be it Get the anti air boom blow him up. Try to attack me Hey, I'm a medium slice could have been the death of him too.     All right, that's mine. That's a heavy slash for sure. Oh You can calm that down got him got him again, dude. Hopefully that kills. Come on. Show me enough damage and I'm all for it Let's go. Yeah The damage on this character. Oh, it wasn't enough, but you know what I think I will a surprise overhead You know what two surprise overheads I'm just having a blast with this character man. I'm having a blast One stack block it two stacks. No That's good. Didn't go for the didn't go for the jump in so I'm not too afraid of it How I you have to block that you have to hold that block. I need the third stack as well. Thank you Oh, and I blocked it No way Let me neutral jump he dodged it Mad Lad just sidestepped it. I can't believe this dude. He's sidestepping it I could just get in close. I could just get in close. It's a no contest fireball.  Oh, he won. No, I let it slip away in my my greed for the three stack All right, that's two hits real quick. Oh All right, that's a grab. That's a heavy. We got to take that. Damn another grab these you got to watch out. Oh Who's that a tier is so good? All right, if he wants to jump, that's his prerogative All right. Well, he didn't want to jump he wanted my blood. Does that work? No, that does not work I thought that worked for like a solid second Yeah, he was gonna get real risky there cuz if that hit I think I might have been dead But now we get to go into a fresh match with this much This much fire you let me get this much fire for a fresh match. That's cool Peace and starter but nothing to write home about we did have to do it raw. Oh, I did it raw again You better watch out, dude. You better watch out All right, you found me fireball Damage on this character That was a clean round. Let's finish it off with one last game. Oh character select. He's mixing you up I gotta be I gotta be respectful. I'm not switching off the character one because we're doing a video on the character So that would be weird and two, you know, I won the match and you got to stick with the character He's free to switch. So it's one one and if the first to three he would dock me into losers if he beats me right here I really hope we don't lose. That's it. I have no idea how he plays with this character one stack Hey, he's looking like he wants to go in Do you stack that's fine? I Try to I try to get him out of the air That's three. I didn't know there was a second part to that. All right.  I didn't know you were that confident. No, that was only the second version I wanted to keep the fire that time Okay, now we can look to do some cool stuff. All right. Give me your weapon. You've lost You didn't lose weapon privileges. I did You've lost damage privileges Get off of me keep the fire going grab him. No, it will almost work. That was pretty damaging as well Oh, we lost there. I don't want to lose. Oh No, he did it as well Sick, but now we're both at a rage. Okay, we both have no rage So it's time to move past try to use that. Oh, we have to get this second win. He's got a roundup on us Okay, what do we do? Do we just go in? All right. Let's try to keep the pressure up Big damage big damage running heavy grabs There we go knockdown situation. What's it gonna be? They didn't let me get the overhead off He had the DP ready.  I've of course. I mean we are going to cheat just a little No, that's gonna be a no from me No way It's gonna be a no from him. I'm so worried dude. Let's see if we can't beat that All right, we did we did he bet he went in for the role He thought we were gonna block and now it all comes down to this no rage. No stacks for me I don't know dude. I feel like we're we're in the worst position here No, I missed it. He misses a fireball from that range we can run in nice grab dash grab Decent punish, but not too great Two stacks. He's got to be a little little more worried now DP I got to remember the name going in three stacks. That's the damage Pee again. I'm looking for the neutral jump. I honestly want to hit the damage All right being off the ground is whack. How have you actually worked wonders?  I know we're low. I know we're low Doesn't have to be that way. We don't have to lose. I can't believe I spaced it properly That's good back it up. Get ready for the fireball. Get ready to win fireball. Um So please don't judge me on that. I missed the grab. I thought yeah I think we were lower than him So I was definitely the one that had to feel the pressure on that one, but that's gonna be the video Hopefully you guys enjoyed it if you did let me know down below and of course I would love to bring more samurai showdown to the channel So thank you for sticking with it while you're down there Make sure to leave a like and subscribe to the channel if you enjoy fighting games and all the content here on the channel And hey, if you want more videos right away, make sure to check out the videos on your screen right now other than that I've been Dr. Doi. Thanks again for reaching the end of this video, and I will see you in the next one


so let's do it the other way just to finish just to round this out let's say i think of it from the checking account side and if i got if i got money on the checking account this let's do the 20 000 i would think of it as a deposit so if i go in here and i say instead of recording a transfer i'm going to categorize it because it's an increase that means quick books you would think would categorize it as a deposit form and so i'm going to say it's a deposit and then the other side is going to go to paypal paypal pay up pal paypal pay pal so there and so it should do the same thing but now it's going to use a deposit form so we're going to say which will look right on the checking account but not on the paypal side so let's save it and add it and then i'm going to go to the to the checking account and it found the match so i'm going to say okay go ahead and match it up that won't record anything new because i recorded it on the checking account side it'll just verify paypal has been finalized now if i go into the checking account let's run it again running it checking account then i should have that 20 there it is right there and it looks right because it's a deposit so that looks good although it's the same as every other deposit right but there's a deposit and then it but then if i go to the paypal account which is like another checking account i'm going to have a deposit that's decreasing it which is weird that's not how it should go why won't it go in there there it goes all right so there it is but it's a deposit form that's decreasing so that messes up this account because if i'm trying to sort my cash over here by increases i'm going to use deposits and this deposit decreased it so that's the point
