In previous classes, we have been learning about different moulding sands. These are the green sand, coarse sand, dry sand, loam sand, facing sand, backing sand and finally the parting sand. So, these are the different moulding sands that are used in the metal casting and regarding the green sand, we have widely learnt about the green sand. What are its ingredients? What are its what say components and what are its properties and how to test the properties we have learnt in detail. And the second important sand in the metal casting is the coarse sand. So, today let us learn about the coarse and the coarse materials. What are these coarse and what are the materials for the coarse? What are the coarse first of all? Those are the objects that are placed inside the moulds to form internal cavities of the casting. Suppose inside a casting if we want a hollow cavity or a recess, we have to prevent the molten metal to occupy that particular region.  Then the molten metal will flow around that what say core and afterwards we can break that core and we will get a hollow cavity or the hollow recess, recess. So, that is the purpose and concept of the core. Now these cores are the normally disposable items that are destroyed after solidification. Naturally these are most of the times these are made up of the coarse sands and after solidification we have to break them and they will be disposed. So, cores are normally made up of coarse sands and are baked before use. So we are going to learn about these coarse sands. So using these coarse sands, we will be making this coarse in different shapes as per our requirement and remember they must be baked means they must be what say kept in ovens for a long time for gaining better strength then only we should place them inside the mould. So here we can see say this is the what say section of the mould and they are right. So this is the drag box and this is the co-box and the molten metal enters this way and enters this way yes this is this proof the vertical passes is known as this proof and yes it reaches this is proof well then it passes through the horizontal passes. The horizontal passes is known as the runner then it enters into the mould cavity. So this is the mould cavity. Now inside the mould cavity it is a cylindrical one we want a hollow cavity at the centre. So we have kept a sand core here. Now the molten metal flows around the sand core and finally it raises through the razor. Once it raises through the razor we stop pouring the molten metal. So that is the what say concept of the core. Now let us see another what say case and here you can see so this is the moulding system and this is the drag box and this is the co-op right and this is the core and here we wanted a hollow cavity. So this we made up of the coarse sand and we have kept here and see one side it is supported in the mould other side there is no support that is why we have kept chocolates here. So in the previous class we have learnt about the chocolates. Chocolates means these are the metallic components so to support the cores and what happens during the pouring so the molten metal flows around these chocolates and the chocolates partly they will fuse and what say join with the molten metal and they become the part of the casting. So this is another case and here we can see this is another case and this is the what say pouring what say basin and this is the sprue the vertical passes and next the molten metal passes through the runner the horizontal passes and this is the mould cavity. And inside the mould cavity we wanted a what say we want we do not want a solid casting but we want a casting with hollow cavity. So here we have kept a core and here it is a what say it is a core right and here we have kept the what say set the core. So this is the concept of the core. Now let us see some examples of what say some castings where cores are used and here you can see this is an automobile engine the four cylinder engine right. So maybe in our Honda city right or the Maruti Swift in all these cars there will be four cylinder engines. Now this engine block is manufactured by casting. Now what happens now this we create a cavity similar to this shape. Now this is the what say here we can see there is a what say hole is there right in all these we can see four holes are there in all these four holes there will be four pistons will be reciprocating. Now how to get these holes are the these four cavities we place the cores there the molten metal does not occupy where we have placed the core and it flows around the cores that is how after solidification we break the cores and we get the internal cavities. So this is an important application of the metal casting where core is used.  Now see how this is made initially we make a cavity of this shape and inside we place the core that is how we get the electric motor housing and here we can see this is a pump housing and again this is a casting and inside there will be a hollow space will be there how to get that hollow space we make a core and place inside the mould cavity then we get the pump housing of this shape. So these are all the practical examples of the cores and here we can see one more case this is the centrifugal pump housing and here we can see a hollow recess is there and here we can see there is a cavity and hole and again this is obtained by placing the core in that particular place. Now we can see here this is another example so this is the spur gear manufactured by casting. Now to manufacture this spur gear so this is the pattern used. Now when we take this pattern and put it inside the moulding box and when we make them what say cavity using this pattern and after the formation completion of the compaction of the moulding sand we withdraw the pattern then what happens there will be a mould cavity and there is no provision to get this kind of hole again to get the hole here what we have to do we have to place a core here so this is the concept of the core. Next one let us see the types of the cores based on the sand there are different types of the cores and based on the different what say considerations firstly when we consider the sand that is used we can broadly divide them into green sand cores and red sand cores this classification is based on the sand that is used. First let us see the green sand cores green sand cores are not typical type of the cores they are part of the cope and drag but still form an internal feature means these cores are not manufactured or they are not made separately while we are making the what say green mould that time itself this core is formed but still it is forming a what say an internal feature that is why it is known as the green sand core. Here we can see this is the typical green sand core and this is the drag and this is the cope. Now you can see here the what say cope is extended like this similarly the moulding sand in the drag is extended up to here now here in this place the molten metal does not flow and ultimately we get a what say recess or internal cavity there of this shape but the thing is we have not yet made a core separately we have not kept a core what say separately in that particular location but while what say doing the mould itself while making the mould itself this what say feature is created means pattern is like this. So this is the green sand core means this core is made up of the green sand itself automatically while the we make the mould. What are the disadvantages of the green sand core? The major disadvantage is the lack of strength because they are made up of the green sand. Next one it is difficult to make castings with long narrow core features using the green sand cores. Next let us see the dry sand cores dry sand cores overcome some of the disadvantages of the green sand cores. First of all green sand cores are not man what say made separately they are formed while we are making the mould itself but the thing is they have poor strength. So when we make the cores with the dry sand dry sand cores have additional strength that is how they overcome some of the disadvantages of the green sand cores. Next one they are formed independently of the mould and then inserted into the core prints in the mould. We make the mould separately and we also make the cores separately after making the mould we take those cores which we have made with dry sand then we insert into the mould cavity. So that is the another feature of the dry sand cores. Next one where these are supported these dry sand cores they are supported in the core prints. These core prints hold the cores in the correct position right. Next one they are made by mixing sand with a binder in a what say wooden or metal core box which contains a cavity in the shape of the desired core and here we can see this is the typical dry sand core. Now this is the casting we want right. So this casting what say internally it has got a hole here an axial hole is there right the diameter is this much an axial hole is there. So this is the casting we want naturally one can think that even the pattern will be of the similar geometry but here it is not so let us see this is the pattern used. So somehow the geometry seems to be different from the geometry of the casting. Why where because here we can see these projections here we see one projection and here we see another projection. If we remove this two projections the geometry of the pattern is exactly similar to the geometry of the casting that we want. Now the thing is why there are projections here.  These two what say what say cavities are used to support the core or in those cavities the core is supported. That is why to the pattern we have made some modifications. So this extra projection is known as core print. Core print means extra projection to the pattern not only the pattern here we can see what is the core here. So this is the what say cavity of the casting. So the core means here from this point to this point we want a hollow cavity. So core should be of this mass size only from here to here why it is extended up to here to support the core in the that extended hole. So even this extended portion of the core is known as the core print. So this is also the this extended portion is the core print. Now let us see the ingredients of the dry sand cores. So these are the typical ingredients of the dry sand cores. One is the base sand grains. Second one cereals or clay. Third one organic binders. These organic binders can be vegetable oils or synthetic oils. First one let us see the base sands of the cores. So generally the base sands of the cores are either they can be silica sands or chromite sands or the zircon sands. Even these sands are used in the green sands also. Of course we were using more sands like oleven sand. So here it is not used. So these are the base sands used in the what say dry sand cores. So its main constituent the main constituent of silica sand is silicon dioxide SiO2. It is considered of high quality when it contains only minor amounts of accompanying minerals such as feldspar, mica and carbonaceous minerals. So these materials present are present in the extremely what say small quantities. Then it offers the better properties. Next one the chromite sand. Its general form is iron chromium oxide FeOCR2O3. Next one the zircon sand. Its general form is zirconium silicate ZRO2SiO2. So this is the comparison of the base sands of the dry sand cores. So this is the silica sand. This is the chromite sand and zircon sand. And yes chemical composition we have seen for silica sand it is the SiO2. For chromite sand it is FeOCR2O3 and for zircon sand it is ZRO2SiO2. Next one coming to the density grams per what say cubic what say centimeter. The silica sands density is 2.65 grams per cc. Next one chromite sand it is from 4.4 to 4.6 and for zircon sand it is from 4.6 to 4.7. And this is the bulk density 1.5 to 2.2, 2.9 to 3.1 and for zircon sand it is 3.01. Next one the melting point. Its melting point is for silica sand it is 1723 degree centigrade. And for chromite sand it is 2180 degree centigrade. And for the zircon sand it varies between 1900 to 1995 degree centigrade. So this is the comparison of the base sands of the dry sand cores. Points to remember when chromite sand or zircon sand are processed in a cold box mixture. What happens when we use the chromite sand or the zircon sand? They reduce the flow of the molding sand mixture. Because we make a mixture generally we used to shoot inside the what say core box. So these sands reduce the flow of the molding sand. Next one due to the reduced flow of the what say these sands an increase in the shooting pressure is required naturally. And say to achieve the identical what say level of the core compaction. Next one finally because we are using what say high pressure the life of the what say these core boxes will be coming down. They also reduce the bench life of the molding sand mixture. Next one if mixtures of what say chrome sand and silica sand are used the flow is similarly reduced. So this also applies to mixtures of zircon sand and silica sand. Next one sequence of making cores. How to make the dry sand cores? First one first step is the mixing of the ingredients. Second one packing of the cores and in the core box. Next one curing right it can be by cold box hot box or no bake type no bake type right. In the cold box type curing is done by hardening the binder by passing special gases through it like carbon dioxide. And in the hot box type curing is done by baking the core in an oven between 200 to 250 degrees centigrade. And in the no bake type no gas no gas or heating is used. We mix some binder right and the moment to what say we place the what say core sand in the core box immediately within few minutes it will be hardened. These are the types of the dry sand cores based on the curing. Previously we have seen based on the sand right. Now these are the types of the dry sand cores based on the curing. One is the cold box cured cores. Next one hot box cured cores. Next one no bake cured cores and finally the shell cores. First let us see the cold box cured cores. This is the procedure mix about 5 percent of sodium silicate binder with fresh silica sand it should be fresh silica sand. Pack this sand mixture inside the core box. The core box will have the required cavity right. So the cavity will be similar to our requirement or similar to the core. Now harden the sand mixture by passing carbon dioxide gas through it. And the carbon dioxide will be passed around the molding sand that is packed in the core box and it will be hardened. And after that withdraw the hardened core from the core box and then we have to place it inside the mold. So this is the procedure for making what say core using the cold box curing. So these are the cores made by the what say cold box curing. So that is also known as the sodium silicate process. So these are the cores made by the sodium silicate process where we harden it by what say cold box process and also by what say passing carbon dioxide. So these are the cores. Next one so there is what we have learned just now is a what say traditional method. Now recently another method has come. Mix little amount of polyol phenolic formaldehyde resin and poly isocyanate binder with fresh silica sand. Pack the sand mixture inside the core box. Yes naturally the core box will have a cavity of the required shape into that we have to pack this mixture. We need not apply excessive pressure. Next one harden the sand mixture by passing amine gas through it for a few seconds may be 10 to 20 seconds then it will be hardened. Which are the hardened core from the core box then the core will be kept inside the molding box. So these are the what say proportions of the binders in the cold box curing which has been developed very recently. So the usage of the binders vary with the season. So the polyol phenolic formaldehyde resin it varies 0.8 to 1.2 percent during summer season. It varies 1 percent to 1.2 percent during winter season. Similarly poly isocyanate binder it varies from 0.8 to 1.2 percent during summer season and it varies from 1 percent to 1.2 percent during winter season. Next one so far we have seen the cold box cured course means in this course we use the cold box. Next one hot box cured course let us see. So this is the typical oven used in hot box curing means we mix the what say ingredients of the course and we place it inside the core box and this will be kept inside the oven. Then what happens it will be hardened. So this is the simple principle of the hot box curing. So these are the course made by using hot box curing. Next one let us see the no bake cured course. What is the procedure for making no bake cured course? Fine silica sand and urethane binder are mixed in a high speed mixture and packed in the core box. So this should be these ingredients fine silica sand and urethane binder should be mixed in a high speed mixture and they should not be exposed to the what say atmosphere. Because once they are exposed to the atmosphere they will be hardened very rapidly. Next one the sand mixture sets hard in a few minutes at room temperature. So that is why once we mix this sand inside the high speed mixture we have to keep the core box close to the high speed mixture and we have to drop the sand or we have to shoot the sand inside the cavity of the core box and within few minutes that sand will be hardened even at the room temperature. Next what are the benefits of this process? We get excellent dimensional tolerance and we get better what say casting surface finish but one thing is this binder urethane is expensive. Next one so far we have seen these three ones we have seen cold box cured course, hot box cured course and the no bake cured course. Now let us see the shell course. So this is again a what say recently developed process. Now what is the procedure in the shell course? Mix fine silica sand with thermoplastic resin, heat the metallic core box to about 230 degrees centigrade. Now shoot the sand mixture into the metallic core box here a metallic core box is to be used. Now what happens when we shoot the sand mixture into the metallic core box which are heated about 230 degree centigrade shells will be created inside the metallic core box because say they will be hardened because the metallic core is heated above 230 degree centigrade. So shells will be created on the what say cavity surface close to the cavity surface right. So shells are made in halves which are then glued and clipped together means if we want a cylindrical core two halves will be made means two shells will be made these two halves will be what say clipped together or they will be glued together. The shell thickness depends upon the amount of time the sand is is in contact with the heated core box. Longer the time we what say keep inside the metallic core boxes larger will be the thickness. So it all depends upon how long we keep inside the metallic core boxes. So these are the typical shell cores you can see here yes this is one half this is another half. So this is a what say shell core and again these are all the shell cores we can see inside they are hollow but externally they are offering us the required shape required geometry. And the important to benefit is their light in weight and they can be handled very easily and they do not to consume excessive of sand. Now these are the types of the cores based on their position.  So these are the what say different types of the cores based on their position. Now let us see all these one by one. So this is a balanced core. Now this is the mould right.  So it is balanced core. Next one cover core. So again we can see this is the mould and this is the drag and this is the cope and this is the core this is the core and the molten metal flows like this in this region the molten metal flows like this but the thing is the core it look appears that the core is covering the cavity mould cavity is it not that is why it is known as the cover core. Next one the hanging core we can see here yes this is the mould cavity and this is the drag and this is the cope the molten metal goes like this but there is a little difference between the previous one and this one in the cover core and at the bottom there is what say no gap between the mould and the core it is closed here whereas in the hanging core there is a gap that is the difference and it looks it is hanging from the top so that is why it is known as the hanging core. So this is all this is the hanging core. Next one this is the ram of core this is you can see this is the moulding right this is the mould and this is the core this is the core this is the core and the molten metal fills this area this part is the core so this is known as the ram of core. Next one the kiss core and you can see here this is the moulding sand right so this is the drag and this is the cope and this is the core and this is the core. Now what is happening it is touching from what say it is starting from the cope box and it is touching the drag or it appears it is kissing the drag box so that is why it is known as the kiss core. Next one the vertical core again you you see here this is the drag and this is the mould cavity and this is the vertical core. Next one core coatings so we will see what are these core coatings. Purpose of core coatings first of all why we should give the core coatings. Core coatings help to achieve better surface finish right and they also help us to get the reduced defects particularly surface defects penetration etc and if the what say size of the sand grains are somewhat larger and there will be some clearance between the neighboring sand grains and the hot metal can penetrate into the clearance between the two neighboring grains and that results in the penetration defect. So when we give this what say this core coating the possibility of the penetration defect comes down. Next one refractory coatings provide a protective barrier between molten metal and the mould so they make a protective barrier otherwise what happens because of the very high temperature of the molten metal the mould sand or the surface of the cavity may be damaged. This is the classification of the core coatings right. So these are the what say what say minerals of the core coatings. One is the aluminium silicate, second one jerken silicate, third one graphite. Here we can see carrier liquid means we will mix any of these minerals with this carrier liquid. We can mix these minerals with water or also with the isopropanol and finally what is the delivery form when we mix the minerals with the carrier it can be in the powder form or it can be in the paste or finally it will be in the slurry means slurry means once we make this slurry immediately it should be used whereas once we make the powder and paste they can be packed and they can be stored for some time. These are the applications of the different core coatings. What we have seen different what say what say these one materials are there so these are the different core minerals are there and what are their applications. Next one first one is if it is a jerken mixed with the say alcohol when the carrier is alcohol it is used for the steel castings. Jerken when the carrier is water it is also used for the steel castings. Next one aluminum mineral when mixed with the alcohol is used for heavy grey iron castings. Next one there is another mineral lamellar aluminum silicate when mixed with alcohol or water can be used for grey iron, aluminum and non-ferrous automobile castings. Next one various refractory materials are there and they can be mixed with water and they can be used for gas permeable coatings for the full mold and last foam process. So these are the applications of different core coatings. Next one design considerations of the course. How to design the course and what are the factors to be considered while we are designing the course and what are the precautions to be taken while we are designing the course. Now let us see a core consists of two portions. Remember the body of the core right one or more extensions called the prints. Suppose this red coloured one is the casting now internally we want a hole so to get the hole we place a core there so this portion in this portion we are placing the core. But see here there is an extension and here there is an extension. There we do not want any what say cavity nothing but why the core is extended up to there because it will be supported here and here if these supports are not there it will be falling down. So this extension these extensions are known as core prints. The prints are necessary to support the core in the mold. They also enable transfer of heat and gases to the mold right. So these core prints what say transfer the heat to the mold. The print is an extension of the core body usually along its axis right. We have seen that the core has an extension that is along the generally it is along the axis. So this is the core print and this is also the core print. The print design depends on the direction of the core axis and the number of the openings. Next one each opening corresponds to a separate print for core support. Next one the print must balance the body so that the core stays in the place during the mold assembly right. So it must balance the body of the core. Next one the prints should minimize the deflection of the core. So this is the print and this is the print and in between this is the core. The prints should be designed in such a way that the core should not deflect at the center of the cavity. Next one unsymmetrical holes should have full proof prints to prevent incorrect assembly. Now let us see a case. So this is the core see the core cavity is actually from here this portion to this portion and it ends here like this like this only this much is the core portion this much is the core portion and certainly it needs core prints both the sets for supporting the core. Now what is this rule says that it should have the full proof prints means the previously in the we have seen say simple cores a cylindrical core. So that in for the cylindrical core also there were prints these prints were similar in the geometry it does not matter you make the core and put it in this direction or reverse it in the put it in the other direction does not matter. But here the direction is very important and what happens if the core prints are of same geometry of what is the same size by mistake someone may place it in the other direction. So this must be avoided. So to avoid this chance of mistake misplacing the core in the wrong direction the core should have the full proof prints means this here you can see this is the print and here this is the print. Now here the print is smaller and here the print is bigger by mistake can someone change the direction and put it in the wrong direction no even if he wants to do it these full proof prints do not permit him to place in the wrong direction. Why say here in this case we require full proof prints because the design of the core is not same along its its axis it is different it is continuously changing. If it is a simple geometry yes no need to have the full proof prints. Next one the print should maximize the heat transfer from the core to the mould. So that is another rule. Next one the print should allow the internal gases generated in the core to escape the mould. So here some gases will be involved inside the core and the core must enable these hot gases to escape to the mould and ultimately to the atmosphere. So generally we try to make holes at the centre of the core. Next one the prints of adjacent cores may be combined into one and here we can see this is what say one core and this is one core and this can be what say combined into one and here you can see they are combined and here we can see what is happening here right. So this is the select the type of the core and here and the core print and we have to select whether what say it should have two prints or one print or what say full proof prints and we have to decide. So that is the first part of the core design. Next one we have to visualize the forces falling on the core and here we can see and here the molten metal is causing the what say creating a force on the core like this and there is another force that is the bio-NC force here. So all these we have to consider other considerations of the core sands. To increase the strength of the cores internal wires and rods can be inserted internally and along the axis we can what say insert the wires or the rods. To enhance the collapsibility straw can be added to the middle of the core sands. Straw can be added so it will enhance the collapsibility and a hollow core can also be made. Generally all cores require wind holes to release the gases. They are formed from the surface of the mould to the core using small wires. Finally we will see the type of the core boxes. Half core box right when the shape of the core required is such that it can be prepared in identical halves a half core box should be used. The identical halves are glued together means here we can see a simple core right. So we can make two halves using the same core box and these two halves can be glued together. So this is the half core box. Next one the split core box and here we can see when the core box is in two parts and the complete core results in single ramming. So there will be two boxes will be there. Yes place the what say core sands in this gap and what say close the moulding boxes. The excess sand will be coming out and we get the required core. Of course we have to cure it before we take the core outside and it has got the double pins. Next one the split box right split core box looks like this. Next one left and right core box when the core is required in two parts and they are not identical two different core boxes of half core type have to be provided for each part of the core. Such boxes are called right handed and left handed core boxes. Next one the dump core box. If the core produced by the core box does not require any pasting and is complete in it the box designed is referred to as a dump core box and here we can see a dump core box. Next one strickel core box. So this is used when the core is required to have an irregular shape which cannot be obtained by any other methods. In this case the desired irregular shape is achieved by striking of the core sand from the top of the core box with a piece of wood called strickel board. The strickel is cut to correspond exactly to the contour of the required core and here we can see this is the strickel core box and this is the core box here we place the molding sand the excess sand will be strickeled by a rod striking bar and these are the materials of the core boxes. Core boxes can be wood made up of wood they can be made up of wood along with plastic they can be made up of aluminum and plastic or they can be made up of grey iron finally they can also be made up of steel and here we can see these are the wooden core boxes. So this is the pattern this is the pattern you can see right and this is the core box and here we make the core and this core will be kept inside the mold cavity that is made by using this pattern. Next one plastic core box and this is the plastic pattern and the cavity will be created and this is the core box and here we make the core and this core will be kept inside the hollow cavity that is made using this plastic pattern and these are the metallic core boxes you can see here these are the metallic core boxes. Friends in this lecture we have seen the importance and the concept of the cores we have seen different types of the cores we have seen that the what is a cores are mainly divided into green sand cores and the dry sand cores. The green sand cores are made while making the green sand mold itself we do not make that cores separately whereas the dry sand cores are made independently and later they are kept inside the green mold and we have also seen the classification of the cores based on the what is a classification of the dry cores based on the sands that are used and we have also seen the classification based on the position and we have seen in this class the coatings made to the coating what is a cores and the purpose and their applications and finally we have seen the different types of the what is a core boxes and the core material what is a material of the core boxes we have seen. So with this we are completing the cores and the core materials. Thank you.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jaspierscasebase.com. We did it guys, this is the last World Cup promo break to sell out the promo. And this is actually a new release today guys, just dropped today, 2022 Penini Mosaic Choice Baseball two case break random teams, number 30, or number one, sorry not 31. And again, it's 40 boxes. So again, 20 boxes per case, you get one pack per box, eight cards per pack, two autos, two choice parallels, two exclusive rookie variations, some pretty nice stuff. Now I know we had a little bit of a miscommunication early guys. As the title was correct inside the item description, it did say one, 10 spots, three random teams. I think that was just a little human error from copying and pasting an older break. So we refunded the people that wanted to be refunded. I didn't get any more, so I'm assuming everybody else is okay. Usually guys that does happen, I know it sucks, but usually the title is correct. And we had a filler right next to it too, so that kind of didn't get a little confusing there. But yeah, basically it was one random team. So we were still able to sell it out, which was great. And got a lot of big help from Carl. Carl just came in and was like, yeah, I wanna break today, right? So thank you, Ryan, Chad, Ed, Daniel, Matthew, Steven, Carl, and then of course congratulations to the winners from the fillers. Ryan, Eric, you know, Nestor, Carl. So basically we did two fillers, straight up spots, and that pretty much gets us to the 30. There's the teams. And here we go guys, let's click dice roll. And dammit, I thought this was gonna be working better, now it's not. Oh well. The minute I wanna use it too. All right, so three times, here we go. Dammit, no, I shouldn't, no, I'm gonna try, if I get it, one, two, three. I really was giving you a chance, random.org. But I guess I was wrong. All right, well thankfully it's a small roll. Carl, down to Carl. Is that you, Nestor? Well, you bought into a pack filler, which ultimately got you to win spots. So actually the two spots you bought in the pack filler actually got you full spots.  Yeah, so you did extremely well. All right, so three times, three times, pasted your names there. Now let's go three times here on the list of teams. One, two, three. White Sox down to the Marlins. So Carl with the White Sox, Stephen with the Brewers, Ed with the Padres, Nestor, you have the Royals, very nice randomizer buddy, dang. All right, Carl with the Red Sox, Ryan with the Yankees, Carl with the Guardians, Daniel with the Cubs, Carl with the Giants, Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, Matthew the Twins, Carl with the As, Chad with the Tigers, Carl with the Rockies, Blue Jays, Angels, Rangers, Reds, Astros, Nestor with the Orioles, Ryan with the Mariners, Carl with the Nationals, Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Rays, Eric with the Pirates and then Carl with the Mets, Braves and Marlins. So let's alphabetize there. And again, trade windows open in the meantime guys, if you guys want to trade. Again, this is, it kind of will be a long break, but it kind of might be a fast break just because it's a choice edition. So should be able to rock right through this. But if anybody wants to trade, I'll give you guys a quick minute or two. In the meantime though, might have top camera open, right? No? Guess not. I guess I'll just do it there. All right, I'm assuming no trades then guys. Try one of the clothes. All right, then here's everybody in here guys, good luck. All right, here we go. Good luck guys. Well today's choice. Probably, let me actually, because this more time between me just because it's just boxes, I'm gonna rip up in like half the boxes and then we'll just stack up the packs and obviously we'll just go pack by pack. And again, look for Nebula's Peacock parallels. I think they might have added some new stuff to this actually. Find two rookie variations now. So I don't think before they actually inserted rookie variation. So it's actually pretty cool. So two numbered cards, two autos, two rookie variations and then one silver prism and mosaic parallels. So that's pretty good actually. I think before they would just put like two base on the top, the two autos, the two numbered cards. That's pretty much it. I might have enough to run this back if that's something you guys are interested in. I'll have to double check though, but here we go back. So each pack is a box basically guys. And that's a nice little card right there. 1980s, Boston, Roger Clemens. And then Sandy Alcantara. And the first auto is Luke Williams. It's a red fusion with a Jackson Collar. Then we got a Brian Reynolds, Bryson Stott, Aaron Ashby and Hunter Green. So I think those are rookie variations right there. And are these not numbered anymore? Usually these were numbered to 88 or 68. I guess maybe they're not this year. They probably switched it up just a little bit by adding those rookie variations I guess. So these are choice exclusive parallels and then rookie variations. Yeah, maybe they're not all numbered anymore. Maybe Brennan Rogers, Trevor Story. First auto is Jake Brentz. There's a rookie autograph there for the Kansas City Royals and Louise Gill. Gill, should say sorry, Yankees. It's going to Ryan. We got Max Kepler and Eloy Hemeniz. And of course, Jake Myers' rookie variation with Juan Yipez's rookie variation. Our Allison Riley, Stephen Kwan. First one we got is TJ Anton. And we have rookie Riley Adams. Chris Bryan and how about a little Cody Bellinger Peacock. It's a nice card right there. That's for the Dodgers, which is going to Carl. And Reese Kiner and Connor Siebold, rookie variations. So I do like that the way it looks. I just kind of wish those cards were numbered still. Maybe there can be though. I have to look at the checklist. There's probably parallels. Yeah, it says four exclusive Redfuge, Fred the Yellow Fusion, Blackgold, Nebula and Peacock. So you know what we probably have to get Blackgold probably, which would be a little tougher though. We have Andre Jackson. That's for the Dodgers. And then we got Cal Raleigh for the Seattle Mariners. We got Frambler-Raldes and a little A-Raw 2000s insert. Connor Long and then Curtis Terry rookie variations. We have a Gonzalez and did that card get stuck in the back? No, I guess this one was missing an auto. Wow, okay. So missing auto box. Hopefully we get an extra box in this case. I'm sure we will though. Harrison Bader, Mackenzie Gore and then Cabrera variation and then Doran variation. Nice out of 25, that is Jared Walsh. So those are numbered there, the 25, nice. And then Johanna Dom, Paul Goldschmidt, Willi Adamas, Contreras, Spencer Strider, Matt Brash, Trevor Bauer. We have a Nicky, Al Year, Drew Ellis, and it looks like we did get that third auto here, so that's good. And then Spencer Strider, so we made up for that one box auto. We have Freddie Freeman. How about a Nebula? Kevin Gosman, that is a one of one Nebula. That's for Toronto. Lujay is going to Carl. Solid. Bryson Stein and a little Neal Cruz variation. All right, so we got a Nebula, that's good, that's good. And I'm just gonna top all of these at the end guys, just kind of make the break go by. It's gonna be a lot of top-loaded autos and relics or numbered carts though. Sweet and crazy, they'll be nice and safe right there. Mackenzie Gore, Nicky Lopez, their first auto being Connor Wong and Videll Bruhan for the Rays going to Carl. Edmund, Jake McCarthy, and then Brash, Aaron Ashby, Fridell, and then a Jaren Durenne. Kettle Marte, Jose Abreu, Eli Ramos and Camila Duvall. All right, last box here and we'll be done with the first half of the case. Josiah Gray, and we got Shane Baz. So Musgrove, Bryce Elder, Baumann and Shane Baz again. All right, so let me go quickly go open this door really quick. All right, sorry. Food actually got delivered a little early, so. Might be a little cold when I eat it, but I'll deform it up. But I heard the honking, I was like, oh shit, I think someone's here. All right, so first half of the first case done. All right, so so far we've seen one Nebula, one Peacock so far. All right, here we go guys. Next 10. A-Rud, Josh Ross. Our first auto is Thomas Sapucki. Ruggy autograph there, and that is for New York Mets and Juan Iubes for St. Louis. Nolan Renato and how about a little Pete Alonzo Peacock? There you go. It's our second Peacock there. Nice one there for the Mets and that's Carl. And a nice Bobby Wood Jr. rookie variation. That's probably our first bigger variation there and that's going to Nestor and the Royals. Got my sheet there down here. All right, here we go. Frazier. Siebel, looks like we got 400 points instead of an auto. Then Camille Duvall. That's for San Francisco. Chapman, Bryce Harper, Miseca, and Seth Beers, sorry. So we'll have to give this out to one customer there at the end. Well, most likely what we'll probably do is, maybe number one gets the World Cup, number two gets a little consolation, a little extra something there, however many we have. Gary Cole, Trout, Lars Neutbar. This is the first auto. Hans Kroos for Philadelphia is the second auto. We've got the Grom, Cedric Mullins, Jaren Duran, and A.J. Alexi. John Heasley, that's for Kansas City, and Jake Myers, therefore Houston. We've got Byron Buxton, Vernon Marsh, McCormick, Jake Cousins. We've got Matt Verlain, Reese Kiner. Hey, Chuckster, what's going on, man? All right, buddy. Wilson and Acunia with Glenn Otto and Jose Ceteri. All right, Chris Sale, Jarellis. First auto is Kevin Smith. Ooh, and a redemption, that usually means, maybe Wander, who knows. I actually don't know who's actually live or not. Redemption time there. Chapman, Jake Myers. We've got a nice O'Neal Cruz and Jaren Duran right there. Those are rookie variations. Rookie autographs, Choice Fusion, card number 65. No, it's Suzuki, very nice for the Cubs. And that is Daniel Smith, very nice. Chicago. All right, we've got a couple more boxes here, guys, and then we're done with the first case. We'll go with the second one after. All right, Jared Walsh, Miles Stroll, Austin Warren. And how about a Connor Siebel, that's numbered to 88. That Charlie Blackman not numbered, Gavin Sheets not numbered. Gavin Sheets variation and Kevin Smith variation. Bryson Stott, Dalton Gorsho, and Rodolfo Castro to 88. Okay, okay. We're getting some more numbered to 88s. And then Greg Dietron to 88 for the Cubs. Nice. Lattie, Justin Turner, Otto Lopez and Jackson Collar variations. Two more boxes, and then we're done with the first case. We got Zach Thompson, and then Aaron Ashby. We got Castellano, and wow, how about another nebula? Juan Yves, and that's a rookie one-on-one for the St. Louis Cardinals going to Carl. That's his second nebula today. Very, very nice. And we got Joe Ryan and Bryce Elder. All right, last one here, and we're done with the first case. Wow, one-on-one again. One-on-one autographs there, that is Alexander Wells. And that doesn't look like a nebula, but I guess it's like a gold. That's another one-on-one there, and that's going to Baltimore. We're just going to Nestor and the Orioles. Very nice. So we didn't get the biggest autograph names besides Suzuki, but we did get a couple of one-on-ones. Mike Baumann, we got Kyle Hendricks, Jaren Duran, Cal Raleigh, and Deichmann. It's all in all three one-on-ones on the case. It's not that bad. There you go, Peacock's, a couple one-on-ones. Suzuki, a couple of good rookie variations there, 400 points. It's almost like we leave the autos here again, just so we got that. But all the other color variations and stuff, we'll just put those down over here, I guess, for now. And let's continue on. Remember, it's two cases, guys. All right, and again, I'll do the same thing. I'll rip open the first 10 boxes and just stack them up in packs and then we'll go through them and then we'll go through the rest after that. Yeah, Chucks, do these Mosaic choices are nice. You know, it's a cheap box, right? Compared to other products. You know, it's like 115, 130. I think we have it for like 115, but some places are like 130, 150 probably, but. You know, under 150 bucks, you get two autos, you get some variations, potential numbered cards as well. Can't really complain too much. Still features all the best players in the class.  But we did a two-case random teams break, so everybody got a random team in two cases. And then we got a Nick Allagir, 16 out of 88. Yeah, dude, did you see that, Chucks? Well, I think Teddy ended up grabbing a loose box that we had in our showcase and Scott, who I think kind of got it started while you were working on it too, he ended up getting that one crazy box and I'm gonna try to get the shade off of them, but that one loose box was pretty good, but I guess there was like a black gold Anthony Edwards in there, so that's what I figured, man. I know we hit the Anthony Edwards early on, but could have definitely still been some more stuff. Angel Zerpa, but hey, you know, still got some good stuff at the end of the day. But yeah, that was crazy, man. I'm gonna see if we can get some more of that because I think it's at a solid price right now and you know, I think it's a good buy, honestly. Rosarania, showtime, and we got Josiah, grade of 88, look, these two cards are stuck. Nice numbered card there, and we got Vidal Bruhan, and Freddie Freeman, 1990 stars, Larry Walker, Yves Bez, and Aaron Ashby, nice. Yeah, I think we only actually only have two more cases left. That one's gonna be yours, and then I have a half case break here, pick your teams for the second case, so good luck, buddy. I hope you pull fire, man. Tommy Gonzalez, Tim Anderson, Fredio, and Bauman. So now that we're doing the second case, guys, just to remember we might see a lot of Dupes, Tommy Edmond, Josh Bell. I assume that there is a lot of the same guys signing, probably more than, let's say, Wander and those guys. Wander and those guys, so you might see a lot more Dupes in choice, but, yeah, yeah, I could probably do a half case tonight. I already booked to 11, man, we're really, really busy over here today. But yeah, I mean, if not for tomorrow too, but if you'd like, and you're interested in any teams, I think we're down to like 11 and 12 left. So this is the first pick your team, and this one's the second one. So of course they're half casers, but it'll be the same case, so if there's a team that you're potentially eyeing in there, and they're available in both halves, then you can get those there. But I think a lot of the bigger teams might have been gone already, but it's still a lot of cheap teams, and you never know, of course, with a checklist. There's still a lot of good players for a lot of those teams, just some of the bigger, like rookie teams like Seattle and those guys might be gone already. And to 88, Connor Wong. I know, dude, I don't know if they're still available, Chuckster, but if you ever want some Astros and stuff when I post the bigger teams and you're interested in a certain product, let me know, man. I'll make sure to tell you when they're still available or when we post it, so that way you can always at least buy your Astros. That's the beauty of picker teams, you know? Paying a smaller fraction of the price rather than the whole box, and then you get a whole case or half case of whatever it is, and then you get all your Astros hits or Dodger hits, whatever the case may be. That works out good. There you go. Jake Brentz, and Jaren Durant, for the Boston Red Sox. You got Musgrove. I haven't seen that out of eight in this though. Hunter Green and Rice Kiner. Matt Verlang, for Philly, going to Carl. And Jake Myers to 88 for the Astros. Astros going to Carl as well. Matt Chapman, and this actually might be our first black gold, yeah. Four of eight, Edward Cabrera, I noticed it right away. That's solid. Aaron Ashby and Eloy Ramos. Let me know on top of this though, just so we, you got Patrick Mazzica. And did we get a Tautis Auto? Yeah, we did. Fernando Tautis Jr. That's awesome. And that's numbered five of 10 for the Padres, going to Ed. You go, Ed. You got Max Kepler. Ventreras, Seabold and Cabrera. All right, three more to go here. Ridolfo Castro, Hans Pros, we got Vladdy Jr., Otto Lopez, Jose Ciri, and Matt Brash. Andre Jackson for the Dodgers. And then Deitcher to 88 for the Cubs. Kettlemorte, Calrelli, nice O'Neill Cruz and Ballman. So for Pittsburgh, that's your second one, Eric. All right, he's down to one left and then we'll rip the next 10 guys. Luke Williams for Miami and then Calrelli for Seattle. Point of Ryan. Reynolds and how about another Nebula? Jake Cousins. One of one for Milwaukee and Steven with Milwaukee Brewers. Nice, that's our third Nebula. Third Nebula, but fourth one of one. And we had a one-on-one auto. All right, last 10 here guys. All right guys, here we go. Final 10.  We have a Fargus for the Cubs. O'Don. We got Frumnau Rez, Jared Walsh, Contreras and Kyle Muller. Jayce Bacormick, Kyle Muller. We got Pablo Lopez, Jonathan India, which is Rookie of the Year. They're Josh Lowe and Ryan Relade, but I think he was the Rookie of the Year before, right? I guess they still put the Rookie Lowe on his. Taylor McGill, San Ceylon and Colton Wong, nice two of eight, Black Gold. That's Spencer Turnbull, Savaki and Dela Cruz. To 88, Kevin Smith. We got Redemption, Braggie, Cabrera, Stephen Kwan, San Ceylon. Rookie Autographs Choice Fusion 65, another Sasuke, Jesus. All right, Cubs killing it though, Daniel. Kostrom, Rojas, Garrett Cole, Josiah Gray and Reed Deppners. Lother, Riley Adams Otto, Blasnell, Sanson, Andre Jackson, Jeremy Begna, which is pretty nice right there. It's the first time I've seen Begna. It's a variation, Ricky. Lerpam, to 88. That is for Kansas City. Jackson Coar, Remuto, Woodruff, another O'Neill Cruz and Zerpa. All righty guys, few more boxes. Haven't seen a peacock on this side, so hopefully we got one here in that last 30. Hoping, but not too sure if we will get one. Glenn Otto, Luis Gill, we got Goldy, Taylor McGill, Dela Cruz and there's a nice Julio finally. Variation. He's probably been one of the tougher ones to get. Ryan with that one, there you go. The biggest one we've got was like O'Neill Cruz really, and Begna right now, so a little different right now, so that's good. All right, two more. Give me another peacock. Give me another nebula. Nice, O'Neill Cruz to 88. That's a big auto there, right? Pirates going to Eric and to 88, Shane Bass. Nice box right there with some numbered cards. Harrison Bader, Joey Bart, Manning, Michael Lopez and TJ Anton with a Drew Ellis to 88 auto for Arizona. We got Chris Bryant, Matt Manning, Spencer Strider and Shane Bass.  You know, Julio variation, O'Neill Cruz variations, et cetera, et cetera. This was basically the second half here. Some of the bigger cards, of course. I guess we did get a peacock. We got one nebula here. The first half though, did have a lot of nebulas here too. We got two nebulas there and then a one-on-one autograph here of Alexander Wells. Suzuki Autograph Redemption twice. All in all, guys. That's pretty fun stuff right there. We might have enough for another one. I'll have to double check, but again, this is a World Cup promo break, so this is the last one here to sell at the World Cup, guys. Boom. Dunzo. So, there is the original list that bought into this break. We're gonna randomize the customer names and number one, number one, gets the last spot in the World Cup promo. So here we go, guys. Dice roll and here we go. Seven times, six out of one, seven. Here we go, guys. One, two, three, four, five, six. Come on, RoundaboutOrg, you're doing great. All right, we're making a lot of time for the last rolls. Wow, we're so close.  I'm not gonna give you another shot after this though. Psychic signs. All right, seven. Seven in the final time. So, boom, seven times, there you go. Number one gets in. Just missing out was Nestor. But Carl, your straight up spot got you in, buddy. So there you go, you are in the World Cup promo. Congrats, you're the last one. So, last spot, Mojo. And this was 2022 Mosaic Baseball Dual Case RT number one. So there you have it, folks. That pretty much completes it. I'll probably do the randomizer a little later tonight or if anything, the first thing tomorrow. But most likely tonight, just so you guys can see who you guys got. But the World Cup starts Sunday, so you guys have more than enough time, of course, to root for, to win or lose, right? So, I appreciate it, folks. So again, that was it. JaspysCaseBricks.com.


It was December 30th, 2019, New Year's Eve's Eve, when Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan's Central Hospital in the Hubei province of China, messaged his fellow physicians, alerting them, to the appearance of a concerning cluster of pneumonia cases. In response, he was detained for spreading rumors summoned to the Public Security Bureau and reprimanded for making false statements that disturbed the public order. 39 days later, after becoming infected with the very virus he'd tried to warn his colleagues about, he was dead at age 33. By that time, the disease had already spread to dozens of countries. My new book, How to Survive a Pandemic, is dedicated to Dr. Li's memory. His initial message read seven SARS cases confirmed at the Hunan Seafood Market. SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which 17 years earlier had been the first deadly global outbreak triggered by a coronavirus. Sadly, the doctor who first alerted the world to that pandemic, Carlo Urbani, also succumbed to the disease. Coronaviruses are named for their crown-like appearance under an electron microscope from the Latin corona for crown, as in coronation, due to a fringe of protein spikes that radiate from the surface. I'm sure you've all seen those graphical representations, but this is what they actually look like under an electron microscope. You can see that halo of spikes. These are actually chicken coronaviruses, the first type of coronavirus ever discovered, which caused a disease called avian infectious bronchitis. Here's the COVID-19 coronavirus. It's a little hard to see the spikes, but they show up nice in this colorized version. Before the big outbreak of SARS in 2003, only two coronaviruses were known to cause disease in humans, and both caused a little more than the common cold. But the SARS coronavirus went on to kill nearly 1 in 10 people it infected. A 10% mortality rate. A decade later, in 2012, another deadly coronavirus emerged. MERS, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, like SARS, MERS spread to infect thousands of people across dozens of countries, but this time 1 in 3 died. More than a 30% mortality rate emerged from where? Where do emerging infectious diseases emerge from? According to the CDC, three-quarters of new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from animals. Most likely on this landmark study of the risk factors for human disease emergence, and it may be an even greater percentage for human viral infections, all of which may have originated in animals, been zoonotic in origin, meaning an animal to human disease. In the case of coronaviruses, most human coronaviruses appear to have arisen originally in bats. The reason bats make such good viral hosts is that up to 200,000 can crowd together in dense roosting colonies, and they can fly more than 1,000 miles acquiring and spreading new viral strains. Their unique navigational tool, echolocation, may even facilitate bat-to-bat transmission by spraying out respiratory secretions. But people aren't getting the disease directly from bats. Bats are considered the primordial hosts, the gene pool from which genetic fragments of coronaviruses can mix and match. Reaching the species barrier to infect people appears to necessitate intermediary hosts in whom coronaviruses can adapt, amplify, and access human populations. In the case of MERS, the intermediate hosts were found to be camels. A bat in Saudi Arabia was found carrying the MERS coronavirus, but it is contact with the bodily fluids of infected camels, particularly their nasal secretions, that is considered the major risk factor for human infection. Once camels infect people, MERS can then be spread human to human. And now, of course, those in the camel business denied the link between MERS and camel exposure. In response to the warnings that those in close camel contact wear protective personal protective equipment at all times, they launched with a social media campaign entitled, and I'm not making this up, Kiss Your Camel. But wait, we domesticated camels 3,000 years ago. What happened to turn camel slobber into a potential kiss of death? Good samples of camel blood show MERS had long been circulating in them for decades before spilling over into the human population. Why now? Camels used to be allowed to forage outdoors, but as more and more camels were being raised, desertification from overgrazing forced the industry to transition to thousands of camel farms using enclosed high density housing systems where they were confined indoors. And the high intensity contact between camels alongside their workers is thought to be what helped drive the spillover of the MERS coronavirus from camels to humans. By 2011, open grazing was completely banned in Qatar, the Middle Eastern country with the highest camel density. The next year, the first human cases of MERS were reported. In my next video I'll cover the emergence of the SARS coronavirus and then the emergence of SARS coronavirus to the cause of COVID-19.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So this year's gonna be my review for the sequel to Stanley Kubrick's as well as Stephen King's Best one of his best-selling novels the shining as we all know I did make a video previously Discussing how it was receiving early praise And of course now that I've seen the film for myself I can see that the praise is warranted because the doctor sleep while it's not as good as The shining and it's not going to be as horrific to some as the shining It is a well-made companion to that story and somehow Mike Flanagan managed to make a film that kind of just It kind of balances out and it does everything it needs to to kind of be a sequel to Kubrick's film Recognize the novel the shining and then also recognize the novel that is doctor sleep I would say for the first two thirds of the movie that that's the strongest and then the and then the third act It's gonna the third act is gonna be amazing for a lot of fans of the shining Then it does stumble of it has a few hiccups there and then it just it feels a bit rushed But other than that, this was a very good movie First of all, I want to talk right off the bat about Rose Rose Ferguson not Rose Ferguson. I think I'm forgetting her name Rebecca Rebecca Ferguson She is an absolute treat as Rose the Hat She's very seductive in the role very charming very charismatic and she just brings like a new She's based off what I've read because I haven't fully read the novel of doctor sleep I still have a few pages, but she Perfectly embodies that character in my opinion. She is an amazing actress of Everything the way she does with everything she does with this character the way she talks the way she walks This vibe she gives off of her Any anytime she was talking I was just listening. I was just hooked on to what she was saying She has like this trance like voice again since Rebecca Ferguson is very very attractive of the character of Rose the Hat now is very attractive. So Aside from that The villain is also Rose the Hat is very sadistic. She's very methodical She is very Sinister with what she wants to do and her intentions are very sinister She basically is the leader of this group known as the true not who in this universe they Exist so also doctor sleep is expanding on what we already found out about the shining and Danny Danny Torrance His shining capability It expands on all of that And we find out that there's this there's people in the world who feed off of this stuff So in this particular story, they there's a group of people are known as the true not just a group of people who are quote-unquote immortal because What they do they have abilities of their own their psychic their psychic individuals What these people do is they feed off of the life source or they feed off of the life of the people with the Shining ability because what it does is it it provides them youth and a longer lifespan They are in a sense This world's vampires and what I kind of appreciate is how What it's saying here is that the vampires if vampires were real or the vampires that we all know and love They're based off of these real life individuals that Feed off of the feet off of the shine and therefore they're immortal. They stay young forever. I like that Other than that doctors sleep another another few things that has working for it is Ewan McGregor who stars as the grown-up Danny Torrance in the film basically said a few decades after Mishining and we're following Danny who was now grown up. He has sadly fallen into the same alcoholic habits of his father He's still recovering from the events at the Overlook Hotel We get to catch up with him see see the struggles He's been going through and then he's also been in communication with a young girl that he Becomes pen pals with the source once he decides that he wants to Not go down that same dark road that his father when he wants to start new He becomes pen pals a sort with a girl who he learns has the same abilities as he does to shine Once she becomes the target of the true not they team up they take it they go they Seek to take down the true not the movie is just very The movie is very enchanting Mike Flanagan. He's one of the best directors out now He has been someone who I've been paying attention to since he kind of broke out with the 2013 film Oculus he managed to recover and save the Ouija horror series with a six with a moderately decent sequel Gerald's game. He did that was great He hasn't done anything That's been received negatively in my opinion just yet not that I can recall and then coming off the coming off The success of the haunting of Hill House, which he also did for Netflix last year. This is just a great year for him I think this is gonna be his biggest his biggest hit For a film so far cuz so to make a sequel a successful worthy sequel mind you to one of the best horror films ever That's gonna be something that's gonna set you apart from the rest of the Directors out today This is a big accomplishment for him. The score in Dr. Sleep is very unnerving is chilling The Newton Brothers do a great job at recreating certain tunes from the shining. There's a particular scene towards the end where Many fans who grew up with that film and know everything about the shining you're gonna get chills sent down your spine It's very it's very nostalgic Overall, this movie is just it's just an absolute blast. It's a love letter to the shining not in not It's an imperfect love letter because it has several flaws several things that make that prove Why it is not better than the shining and then just the third act again is a bit clunky But aside from that Dr. Sleep, I'm gonna have to give it a solid 7.5 out of 10 Oh and another thing the young actress in it Abra Abra's the girl that Danny befriends the young girl that he has he befriends and helps to take down the true not with The actors that plays her she is one of the very few rare child actors who don't get on your nerves And you want to see more of the character She is an absolute treat and the light to see on screen There's also a little bit of darkness to this character So it's gonna be interesting to see if this will even affect her later on in her life with her shining capabilities Of course, those are just some of the questions that we have to ponder after watching dr. Sleep Dr. Sleep just like the shiny leaves several things left unanswered several things for you to wonder and ponder on All in all a very worthy expansion in this universe a Solid sequel to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining it's just a beautiful film dr. Sleep is a


Vice Admiral James Fogo, Commander, Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO, visited Sweden to witness the tactical phase of Baltops 2016, a multinational maritime exercise. It's about our presence in the Baltic region for reassurance to our allies and friends that have coastlines and navies and marine cores up here. I'm here today on Uto Island. It is our second amphibious assault in a week and we are combined with Marines of the United States Marine Corps, the United Kingdom, Italy and Sweden and Finland. Our Marines and the Allied Marines are tremendously resilient, enthusiastic and ready to conduct their mission. So as a Navy Admiral, I'm impressed, semper fi.


Interview 1 Excuse me sir, I'm a student of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and I'm carrying our survey on world-class cities. May I ask you a few questions about your views on what makes a world-class city? No problem. Thanks. First, may I know where you're from? The UK, London, to be exact. Would you say London is a world-class city? No doubt about that. Can you explain your criteria on what makes a world-class city? Using London as an example? Let me see. Well, first the size. London is one of the biggest cities in Europe. Second, it's ethnic diversity. If you were there yourself, you would notice different ethnic groups walking in the street or travelling on the underground. Of course, I don't mean tourists. Anything else? Another important factor is related to its culture, which can be reflected by museums, art galleries, magnificent architecture, parks, concert halls and theatres easily found across the city. If people's life is surrounded by these things, they are more naturally influenced and will appreciate life in a different way. Although it is no longer a major financial centre, it has its own character.  Sorry I've got to go. Thank you. Thank you very much for your time.
