So tomorrow morning and every morning, start the day right with a Cheerios breakfast. Then you'll hear people say, The daring and resourceful mask rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Heavily loaded army wagons moved through Gunstock Canyon. Each wagon was drawn by four strong mules, and the small caravan was guarded by a detachment of troopers. He walks on the canyon floor, and from the rim on both sides of the canyon. He didn't even see the critters, he didn't- Was the day after we attack in Gunstock Canyon, when a civilian scout employed by the army rode to the guard at the- Highway guard? I gotta see the commandant right away. Come on, Huggins. I'll take you to him. You were a- Your horse was ladded. I rode hard. Big news? News of engine work. Four supply wagons looted and burned in Gunstock Canyon. Yep, drivers and guards all killed. Yeah, that's bad. The Colonel's been waiting for those wagons. They held rifles, a new repeating kind. Well, old jumpin' bears renegades have those rifles now. Jumpin' bear? That sneak and slick-talkin' wintery. Oh! Who goes there? Watch this one. Other guy? How long since there's been a guard at- All right, I got orders to follow the manual. Friend or foe? Oh, stand aside, you junkhead. Huggins has to see the Colonel right away. Sergeant, you can't- Colonel Roberts, sir. Sergeant Prismal, the Regulations- Yes, sir, Colonel Roberts, sir. Mr. Huggins has a report of importance, sir. Jumpin' bears on the warpath again. What's that?  Maybe, sir, you should write a note to jumpin' bear for testing the murder of your men. That'd be a peaceful way of settlin' it. Sergeant, I want to speak to you and Huggins. Yes, sir. I know that you and the other men who've been here for years resent the change in command. Colonel Baines was a mighty smart engine fighter, sir. Splendid soldier, Sergeant. I can understand why you men were sorry to see him leave. But as you say, he was an Indian fighter. Is that why he was replaced, sir? I came here with orders to make peace with the Indians. It is my job to tighten up on discipline. It is my job to follow the regulations of army conduct. I didn't make the regulations. Colonel, years ago, when I first came to the Indian country, I had ideas of army discipline, the same as you have. But I learned that there's things more important than rules and regulations. Out here, we've had to make our own rules. I reckon that's insubordination. I'll start with the guardhouse. No, Sergeant, I... I need you. I need you and your knowledge of this country more than any other man. I wish you'd try to conform. Colonel Roberts, that's the nearest I ever heard you come to talking like a human being. Now, what about jumping bears? What's to be done about that renegade? If they have the new rifles that were being sent to us, they may attack the fort. Hawkins, do you know where jumping bears camp? Sure I do. His whole outfit's in the valley, not far from here. I'll leave a detachment there. If you give the word, you'll leave me. Now you're talking, sir? I'll take two men with me. Two men? Yes. I propose to talk things over with jumping bears. Talk! Hunting has been poor in this part of the country. Game is scarce. It is quite possible that jumping bears' people face salvation. That would drive the Indians to desperate measures. I'll meet the chief and see if we can arrange a peaceful settlement. Miles from the army post, the lone ranger rode into a small woodland camp where Toto, his friend, was waiting. The masked man had been visiting another friend, the pottery of a mission not far away. Oh, oh, oh! Easy, easy, big fella. Get in there. Oh, you right. Plenty fast. Kimosave. You see, pottery? Yes, I saw him, Toto. And he had a letter for me. Oh? It came from a retired army officer in Washington. Officer, you know? Yes, General Roberts. Him? Good friend. The General's son is now a colonel. That's all, General Say? Oh, there's more, Toto, but it's unimportant. Chief, jumping bear village near Fort and him bad Indian. Yes, jumping bear has made a lot of trouble. But him plenty smart. He's smart, and he'll do his very best to discredit Colonel Roberts. Come on, Toto. We'll break camp at once and find out what's happening at Fort Vincent. Colonel Roberts, carrying a flag of truce, held a powwow with Chief Jumping Bear and returned to the fort well pleased with what he thought had been accomplished. The next day, Sergeant Griswold, serving as the Sergeant of the Guard, was passed into the Colonel's office. What is it, Sergeant? Chief Jumping Bear is here, sir. He and a half dozen other redskins brought in a wagon load of stuff. They were passed by the guard because you gave them a note, sir. Good. Jumping bear has kept his word. You see, Sergeant, that proves we can make friends with the Indians. I wouldn't bet on that, Chief. Come with me. The Sergeant looked dubious as he walked with the Colonel toward a group of Indians and their horses standing beside a large wagon. Are any redskins to pay for murdering our soldiers in Gunstar Canyon? We cannot demand punishment until we can prove it was jumping bear's people who attacked. What's beneath the car? Rifles. I told Jumping Bear it was illegal for his people to have rifles and promised food in exchange for all the Indians' rifles. You figured to get back the rifles that were stolen, huh? Yes. Then we'll have proof that Jumping Bear attacked the wagons and killed the soldiers. You aim at to punish the Indians? I'll see. Jumping Bear, I'm glad to see that you've kept your part of the bargain. Uh, wagon... Full of Indian rifle. Ask your men to remove the covering. Who more? Who they say? You take rifle. You fill wagon with food. How do I see agreement? Hey! Look at the rifles he's brought. Old flip-locks and muscle loaders. But I... My vicious whippers jumped at the Indians picked up on the planes and stole them from pioneers. Jumping Bear, I told you to bring in all the firearms from your village. All there. You come search village. We know you have new rifles. Stolen from the army. Maybe other Indians. Not Jumping Bear people. You promised food. Maybe now you change mind. Break treaty. Not give Indians food. Looks like he's outsmarted you, sir. I'll give you food. Jumping Bear left the fort with a wagon filled with food. And in a few days he was back for more. At the end of a week, the sergeant came into the Colonel's office and said... Jumping Bear is here again, sir. He's already had two wagon loads of food. He can't possibly be using it all. Right now it looks like we're going to have to break our word to the Indians or starve ourselves to feed them. After a long trip, the lone ranger and tonto made camp in a woods not far from Fort Vincent. They were preparing their evening meal when they heard a horseman approaching. A moment later, a man with Sergeant Stripe centers a clearing. Oh, there, oh, there. Hey, Mr. Evey. Mashed. You're adjusting time for supper, Sergeant? Outlawing. No. Well, I'll take your word for that because I don't care.  My name is Griswold. Well, I'm glad to know you, Sergeant Griswold. Oh, this is Tonto. How? Howdy, Tonto.  Me, get full. Sure smell is good. We've been on short rations at the Fort. Fort Vincent? Yep. Yeah. Careful. Thank you. I have an outhunting game. In fact, a lot of them were sent out there. Game is scarce in these parts. You have a new common daughter, Fort Vincent, haven't you? Yeah. Colonel Roberts. Dad read him. Why do you say that? He figured them out smart and jimba bear, but instead he got taken in on the slickest deal I ever heard of. That's why we're short on food. We've been giving it all to the Indians. We'll continue our lone ranger adventure in just a moment. Take champions down south. They sure enough know about Wheaties. The Southland's favorite Wheaties fan is Muzio, known as Stan the Man, because when he swings his muddy bat, he nearly knocks that baseball flat. Another Southland pride and joy is Bob and Lane, a Wheaties boy, because when he starts to turn around, he's going to turn around, and he's going to turn around, and he's going to turn around, and he's going to turn around, and when he starts to turn on steam, he's sure a one-man football team. Just ask Stan Muzio or Bob and Lane. They know the secret of Wheaties' energy. There's a whole kernel of wheat in every Wheaties' flake. Wheaties, breakfast of champions. Keep body through your Wheaties, and you'll be new, new, new, and I'll keep okay. On the 8th, Sergeant Griswold told the lone ranger and tanto about the attack in Gunstock Canyon. The Colonel's futile effort to recover the stolen rifles and jumping bears repeated demands for food. During the daylight that remained after the meal, the lone ranger and tanto ate the sergeant in his quest for game and succeeded in shooting an antelope and a number of smaller animals. The masked man and sergeant parted as friends and made arrangements to meet the following day. That night at the campfire, the lone ranger said, the sergeant seems to be sure that sooner or later jumping bear will attack the fort. Am I right? I've thought of a plan, a dangerous plan. I'll discuss it with Sergeant Griswold when we see him in the morning. The following morning, found the sergeant once more hunting in a valley not far from the lone ranger's camp. Hawkins, the army scout, was with him. From the lone ranger and tanto approached. Here they come, Hawkins. The masked man and tanto. Racky, their sure-riding, mighty-fine horses. Who is the masked hombre? He didn't say. But I'll tell you this once, Hawkins. He's a friend. Who's the little boy? Who's the little boy there? Morning, Sergeant. This is Hawkins, the scout I told you about. Howdy. Howdy. Last night I thought of a plan to find those rifles. Wait, let's hear it, Griswold. Let's hear it. I'll need your help, Sergeant. I must warn you the plan is dangerous. A present situation is dangerous. You may face court-martial. Well, I'll face anything for a chance to outsmart that ordinary slick-schema-jumpin' bear. That goes double for me. Good. Tonight, tanto will go to Jumping Bear's village. You learn all he can about the Indians. Yeah, but where do I come in? What part do I play? You play your part when the Indians go to the fort for another supply of food. This mountain I'll outline my plan. The lone ranger talked at length and was gratified to find Sergeant Griswold, willing to sacrifice himself as need be to help the commandant out of an impossible situation. Three days went by during which tanto kept a close watch on all sides. Then on the third night, tanto crept from the Indian village and returned to the lone ranger who had waited in camp. tanto, what did you learn about Jumping Bear? Him take plenty food from soldiers, throw it away. He's throwing food away? Ah, that right. Him see how far I may go. I see. What does he plan to do when the army stops giving him food? Then Jumping Bear say, army break treaty. Then he make attack on army. Then he does have the new rifles? That's right. For me here, plenty talk. So Hawkins was right. Jumping Bear massacred the soldiers in the supply wagons. You know where the rifles are hidden? No, me not know. That's what we must learn. Those rifles must be taken away from the Indians. Ah. You know when the Indians will send another wagon to the fort? It goes there tomorrow morning. And tomorrow morning, Sergeant Griswold will make his move. Toto returned to the Indian village that night. And the following morning, Jumping Bear sent the heavy wagon to the fort for a new supply of food. When Sergeant Griswold saw the wagon coming through the gate, he hurried to meet it. More food, eh? All right, I'll take charge of this. What's going on? You could've just wait right here.  The surprised Indians climbed down from the seat and permitted the sergeant to take the wagon. Now, get up there. Griswold knew exactly what to do in carrying out his part of the Lone Rangers' plan. He drew the team to a halt at one side of the storehouse. A number of rocks gathered during the past three days were piled conveniently at hand. You boys stepped lightly. Throw those rocks into the wagon. Throw those Indians get rocks instead of food. They can use these rocks to shop in the wisdom gates. Right, sir. When the wagons were loaded, the rocks were covered with the skin the Indians had brought for the purpose. The Indians with a heavily loaded wagon reached the village. The skins that had been tied to cover the contents were removed and the rocks discovered. He stood in the Indian village. He saw a jumping bear move up to the wagon. Look at the rocks and cry out in rage. Next to Scout and Silver on a nearby hill could see the Indian village in the distant valley. Looking through binoculars, he singled out Tonto who had drawn a part from the rest of the Indians. Presently, the masked man's faithful Indian companion raised one hand high over his head. The signal, that's what we've been waiting for, Silver. Stranger dashed down the hill leading Scout. He took advantage of concealing rocks and clumps of undergrowth so the war-dancing Indians would not see him. Tonto was waiting apart from the Indian village. That means he'd bring out the stolen rifles. That's right. He sent three in into place where a horseman knew Tonto was one who had been in their village. They were surprised when both Tonto and the masked man... Now you disarm them. Now go, war seamer! It took but a moment for Tonto to collect the knives and tomahawks of the Indians. I'll keep an eye on them while I go inside the cave to look for the rifles. It was a large cave and inside, not far from the wide entrance, there was a great pile of brush-wound ranger discovered the piled-up cases of rifles and ammunition. He hurried back outside to where Tonto waited. I found the rifles, Tonto. We'll tie these three Indians and drag them inside the cave. Me, Sammy. Tell the sergeant we've found the rifles. And what him do then? I hope he can persuade Colonel Roberts to come here fast. There was ample room inside the cave for the captive Indians and their horses, as well as the great horse, Silver. The lone ranger opened several of the cases, brought out the new repeating rifles and loaded them with ammunition. He headed for the cave where the repeating rifles had been stored. It hid from within the cave all after another thudded into the protecting cases. Another streak passed the masked man's head, but he held his position, determined to keep up the gunfire as long as there were loaded rifles. The end was near. A few more shots, but I'm through. He picked up the last of the loaded rifles and then a bugle sounded. There was gunfire from behind the Indians, halted in their charge. They turned and saw the troopers led by Colonel Roberts, riding hard and firing from the saddle, trapped between the gunfire of the troopers and the equally devastating gunfire from within the cave. They had no chance. They threw down their crude weapons and raised their hands. The lone ranger led Silver from the cave, as the sergeant approached. You held him. You didn't snake. I was at the end of the string, sergeant. Glad you came in time. They look over there, jumping bare and talking to. Did the Colonel listen to you? He sure did. He's a fine young leader. He'll go a long way. It's fast. Come this way. Hey, Colonel Roberts, this is the mask man I told you about. My compliments to you, sir. My heartfelt thanks. You've nothing to thank me for, Colonel Roberts. Indeed, I disagree. The sergeant told me if you're playing to make the Indians reveal their hiding place.  These rifles prove his men did it. He and his men will be taught a severe lesson. From now on, I'm sure the Indian situation will be kept well in hand. Good. Your father will be proud of you. I'd be honored if you and Tata would return with me to the fort. Well, thanks, Colonel Roberts. We'd like to, but we have a message to deliver to a little mission. It's a long way from here, and I'd like to start at once. Oh, be ready. We may meet again. I hope so. I'd like to ask him many questions. I wonder why he mentioned my father. Well, sir, he knows your father. And your father knows him. You see? Ranger brought to you by special recording Mondays through Fridays at this same time.


Oh, it actually fights bug! Yeah! They do share it! Oh, it even throws it! Hello everyone, and welcome to an exclusive episode of Jurassic World Evolution 3, where I've been giving access to the latest DLC, which is the Early Cretaceous, I think it is. So this DLC adds one, two, three, four dinosaurs, unless I'm missing one, I'm pretty sure it's four dinosaurs into the game, allowing you to just, you know, spruce up your dinosaur population, but we're going to focus on all these different new dinosaurs, also as well as I don't know if this is just in the update, like the DLC that you have to buy, or if this is a general life update for Jurassic World Evolution 2, because all I know is I did this update and got these, you know, noticed these differences. So, for instance, if we go into a hatchery, and we go, you know, an empty hatchery bay and we synthesize said dinosaur, now when you go in a dinosaur, you can click modify genome, but what comes up now is the skin and pattern thing is completely different. So if you click the skin, it actually now gives you a whole palette instead of, you know, scrolling left and right, you can now go through and, you know, the specific ones that are available to you, and not only that, this is the best thing. You can click randomize skin color, and that isn't just for the batch, that's per egg, and the same can be applied to that. So you can have a random pattern, you can have a random skin color per clutch of eggs, so when you release a dinosaur, release dinosaurs, they're all different, also another difference, now I don't know whether this is in the update or just something I've noticed, but I am now able to do loads of different buildings that I didn't know existed before, maybe it's possibly because I just haven't used them, but you got the wildlife thing there, and you're able to make an aquatic hatchery. I've never seen it like that, as well as a Jurassic version of the lagoon hatchery, which is that too. So again, like I said, I don't know whether that's always been in the game, I've never noticed, but like I said, since I put this in, I'm able to do that. How about we start with the dinosaurs I'm least excited to see, and move away steadily to the more exciting ones. So here we go in the hatchery, so the one I'm least excited to see, I guess, is, it's a tie. It really depends, I think the least one I'm the one I'm least excited to see is, woo, Horosora, so whatever you want to call it, so we're going to take a quick look at this guy. So this is a Stegosaurid, so these should all be different colors, and as you can see, they're all coming out in glorious different colors and different patterns. Also, I'll show you, when you make an anus on the hatchery, it tells you what cosmetic the egg has as well. So you can see whether you maybe you didn't want a certain egg, you can get rid of them all, or what have you. But here we go. So what I've done is, oh, hold on, I've also turned off voices, oh, probably shouldn't have done that, hold on. Is it going to say it again? Yes! Oh, it's a cutie though. Oh, but everything they could have added to the game, I mean, they probably have their own unique animations, which we're probably going to keep an eye out for. I think even in the trailer it showed what the unique animation was. So what I was interested in was just seeing what they needed, because, you know, depending on what they needed, it makes the dinosaur easier to keep or not easier to keep. So they need ground fruit, a fair amount of open space, and ground fiber. So, I mean, what we're looking at? We look at that territory so far. Yeah, I mean, it wants open space. So yeah, I mean, there is a fair amount of them. I love that pattern. Oh, that looks lovely. Noice! Okay, now on to the next one, which is in fact the minme. So you can get eight of these in a clutch. That's the Max Badger. Look how they're so small! Oh my God! Oh my God, how small the minme was! And does the top door open as well? Well, they're just so small that I don't get to see it. I think maybe that's Jurassic World hatchery in particular. So these guys all have different patterns, and they look fairly similar. Oh, I like that one. The green one's quite nice. So let's have a look at what it needs. Ground fruit, ground nut, and open space. What sets this species apart from other members of its family? Are the horizontally orientated plates that run along the sides of its backbone? That's the binomial name, minme paravirtebra. Ooh, we're learning something new every day. So apparently this guy does not like woohoo saurus. So they're probably going to start a fight. Oh, it's biting its tail! Oh, that's adorable! Oh, so that's its interaction. That's great. So they like saurapods, or ornithomimus, or ornithomimus saurid, oh God. Ceratopsid had a saurid, a pack of saurid, but it does not like stegosaurid and gylosaurid. Weird, you know. And Dr. Woo, hybrids. And I haven't even checked what this guy is. And it does tell you the cosmetic now. I feel like it never did, but now they've updated it to do that. I remember trying to find what the cosmetic was, and maybe I just couldn't find it. So it does not like minme. It likes comsugnator, saurapods, ornithomimus saurid, hydro-saurid, and ankyloscephalosaurid. It does not like carnivores, ceratopsids, ankylosaurids, and other stegosaurids. I do not understand why they just don't like each other. That is so odd. But anyway, well, those are the herbivores. Interestingly enough, we didn't get any carnivores. We'll make some strithiumimus. There we go. We got seven of them. And now, when we looked at the bottom, oh, I didn't change it. OK, they're all Yukon River. Ah, well, anyway, they have it. So I'll discard those, I guess. This is their interaction between each other. So rubbing alongside each other, it must have been, or nosing each other's heads. Yes, very cute. So what I wanted to see, as I was saying, was interrupted by some cuteness, was how these guys get on with, you know, a velociraptor or tearouts. Maybe they share some unique animations and with this game, you know, that is very likely. So here we go, some random pattern raptors there. Now four is around about the right number they need in order to pack up. I think maybe three might be minimum. Before we should definitely get there. Ah, combat frequency was off. That might be why they're not attacking. Yes, very good, James. Do we have a minme being attacked by a velociraptor? I guess it's really small, so... Yeah, oh, this is interesting. Okay, how's this going to go? Oh, oh, the raptor sort of clawed at it. Okay, okay. And the minme's, oh, it's so weak. No. Oh, I'll tell you what, it's going to bite in the half on it, though. And another kick. Is that going to kill it? Oh, it's no help now. No. Look at it run. Run away. Looks like another minme got attacked as well. So, small carnivores like raptors can just take them on without much of a problem. Things like Ankylosaur, you need to pack a raptor in order to take down. However, we have these two raptors, I think, hunting this woohoo-asaurus. Yes! Oh, oh, he's actually running away with them on it. Oh, that's interesting. Okay, okay.  Oh, god, they're falling off this woohoo-asaurus is doing literally nothing. I think one's dead. Oh, where did that raptor go?  Who's got put through the fence? Okay, that raptor got completely clobbered.  I think the raptor just died. Yeah, raptor dead. Well, there you go. So, apparently two raptors can't take on a woohoo-asaurus. Well, it had 70 attack and 32 defense and the raptor, before it, you know, kicked the bucket, 45 and 18 defense. So, yeah, it's way stronger. Oh, okay. Well, we'll let those guys fight it out. Now, on to the third dinosaur. Or, if we say reptile, it's been added to the game. That is the sun-gopterics. Oh, well, three seems to be the most we can get for it. Oh, no, five. Is it five? Wow, there they go. Woo-hoo-hoo. All different patterns. Look at it. Oh, god, of course, Isaac has to talk about it. Oh, I love the spots on it. That's really cool. Right, what do you need? Water and sand. Okay, so it's a sandy one. It likes its sand. Okay. I've not seen anything like this before. Have you not? Check it out. The sun-garipterics. This pterosaur would use its curved jaws like a crowbar, levering shellfish out of the mud before cracking them open with their blunt teeth. That's pretty resourceful, huh? Just like stocked through hybrids, probably because it gets eaten by them. So this, I think, is a Jurassic Park? Avery, I think? There's weird doors as well. Like I said, I've never seen this before. Oh, is it landing? Oh, it's going to land on a rock. Yes. Now, oh, they're all landed on rocks. Cool. I've never seen them land on rocks either. We're learning so much. So when I go in here, normally I'm used to seeing those three, but there's another one with the tropical rocks you can pick from. I don't know if that's new. And also different sharks as well. Could just be because I've done all the missions and stuff and I've finally unlocked them. And another thing being ornamental shrubs, which I don't think do much. They're just kind of there to look pretty. Okay, let's release a Pteranodon. Let's do this first. Let's get this out the way. Let's release a Pteranodon into the mix. Now, these guys, of course, will not get on. I'm pretty sure, because it has no like dinosaurs. And most of the time, that's the way it goes. Although it is saying that it doesn't seem to mind. Sun-gopterus. It's not disliking it. So maybe it actually does get on. I'm sure they'll probably have a similar fight animation to everything else though.  Now onto the one I'm most excited for. That is the Kronosaurus. And I think Frontier might have listened to, you know, people liking the Leiplerodon from Walking With Dinosaurs because that is exactly what this Kronosaurus looks like in its default coloring. So let's release now. They release in twos. They eat from the shark feeder, which is only what the... Of course, it's a bad release, unless they're all like this. Oh, look at you. Right, we're definitely going to release more than two. Hell yeah, we need to. Okay, let's have a look at them under. What's that? Oh. Green reptile was named after the Titan Kronos, a legendary ruler of Greek mythology's golden age. Pretty cool, right? Right, so let's release a couple more. Hopefully we get... Yeah, that's better. That's a better angle. Let's have a look at this one. So, like I said, you can automate two, which is a bit like Tilosaur, but unlike Tilosaur, these guys eat from the shark feeder. Now, I don't know how big Kronosaur was, whether it was one of the biggest Leiplerodons out there. Oh, sorry, Plyosaurs. It possibly could have been... I don't know if these guys have a interaction with each other. And we'll release again from a similar point of view. Oh, this guy's got spots on him. We're all the others blank. Oh, you're pretty. Yes. Now that looks more like the walk with dinosaurs Leiplerodon. Okay, what is this skin coloring? Let's have a look. It's Yukon River with Rana. Okay, so you want Yukon River with not Rana, because I think Rana is like beige. Yukon River with the white. And there you go. That's probably going to be the closest you'll get to a walking with dinosaur skin. And to be honest, it's pretty much the same. It looks gorgeous. Kronosaur was, you know, announced, or the trailer was kind of accidentally put a burly. And we saw Kronosaur. I was thinking, oh, it's just like a re-skinned Leiplerodon. It's going to act the same. So I'm really interested to see how this guy compares to Kronosaur because when, like, you know, the Kronosaur, the trailer was released early, I thought it was just going to be a re-skinned, you know, one of these. But apparently it's not. So hold on. Let me just turn the voices off. And let's release the Kronosaurs as part of a size comparison. So they, yeah, all right off the bat. Yes. They're like twice the size of them. Yeah, we look at that even just from, you know, not seeing them particularly well. Yeah, there's a definite size difference here. So let's keep an eye on the Kronosaur. It doesn't need a shark feeder. It needs fish, but it does also eat from the shark feeder. That is very strange. Okay. But apparently it's okay with Leiplerodon. I know that to be a lie, though, at this point. Oh, there she comes. Oh, God, the lag. I forgot about the lag and bush. Down and eats the shark. Yum, yum, yum. Now you are missing fish, but I'm sure you can eat on that, right? Yeah. Food is all the way up. The other one is lower. So they do eat the shark, but it's not what they want. Right. Let's see this from another view. Oh, God, it always does that. Whoosh. Oh, the destroyed shark. Yum, yum, yum, yum. Oh, they just went completely towards the shore of fish. Like, yes. You know what? I don't think I've ever seen them eat fish before, so. Yum. There you go. Gorgeous.  Oh, God. Okay. Well, it killed it pretty quickly, although I don't know where it got teleported to. How is this one going to go? How is it supposed to go? Oh, it's still broken. Now that could be because I'm sort of like speeding it up and then slowing it down and that's what's breaking it. Don't look at me like I have no idea. And, yeah. I don't know what goes on, but then he just gets pinged, pinged across. Okay.  Oh, God, he's still really glitched. You're going to get him. You're going to get one. Yum, yum, yum, yum. And the other one, yum, yum, yum, yum. And boop. Okay. Okay. Well, the coronas are having some sort of issue. Right. Let's see.  So first, that's really so many of them that they want to break out. Fly, my booties. Fly. While we're running, let's just release some T-Rexes because let's see if Min-Me can actually fight a T-Rex over. It just gets eaten in one bite. And if maybe the Woosaurus also has its own kind of attack animation for a large carnival like T-Rex. What could go wrong, they said. Wait, what? What? Oh, I was kind of hoping it would have a different animation. I just kind of did the regular, like, battle animation. It was, you know, that small. It could have easily been in one bite. Look at that. Look at it. Look at the manners. The door's open and he won't go. Now, one thing I'm interested about finding out is if the Mosasaur will hunt the Kronosaur. So let's take a look at this. Now, you are the only one that shares the shark eating animation. Now, how will you handle something else being in your lagoon? Okay. Yeah, they're fairly big size. Yeah, it kind of puts up a little bit of a threat up to Mosasaur. And you know what it is? It's not even bothered. It's not even bothered with the Mosasaur.  Oh, oh, I just missed it. It killed it. Literally two seconds and it killed it. And that didn't look like a glitch because it was the Mosasaur that initiated. So, now let's have a look. Oh, here we go. Here we go. So here it is. Oh, it actually bites back. Wow. Yeah. Oh, it throws it. Brilliant. Oh, wow. Oh, there it goes. Sploosh. All the way down to the bottom. Ah, you're suffering from the classic twisted spine syndrome that means you jump out of the water 50 feet. Yes. Oh, we have a Sundopterus now. Just flying about. Maybe it'll hunt down a homalosephaly. Oh, it is. It is hunting down one end. Oh, oh, it turns around. Oh, brilliant. So it killed it a bit similar to how other ones do. They're trying to sort of latches on and rolls and then attacks it. But the Sundopterus sort of hits it down, circles back, and then makes the kill. Oh, look at that in the meat chunks as well. Beautiful. So it looks like we finally have a break in every there it is. Oh, I think it's making for somebody. Yes, it is. Here we go. It's going for this, guys. Stop looking behind. You run forward.  Now you're done for. Yeah. Oh, it's got a leg. Is he alive? Oh, apparently just stretching his leg killed him. OK, fair enough. But I know the unique animation. I knew they would add one in. So out of this pack, it really feels like Sundopterus and also the Kronosaur are the ones you kind of want because they have their own unique animations with all other creatures, basically. OK, another attack. Here it comes from a different angle. Oh, it's beautiful. Barely does anything to the person. It pushes them over, picks them up a little bit, and then drops them. I assume it's like picking them up and then drops them on my head so they break their neck or something. But pretty much it doesn't really kill them, but it does. It's a weird one. Wait, what? No. No. Oh, my. Oh, I've never seen this before. A Pteranodon can land on the lagoon and eat a dead body? Oh, if only it actually landed on the body. That is so cool. Instead of it weirdly floating there. That's brilliant. But we're going to try one more time to get this Kronosaur animation working. So I'm going to load a different save. OK, releasing now the proper ones. And hopefully we get to see an animation that is it is in glitched. I think it's crossed. So here we are with the proper, what's it called? The proper Kronosaur. Yes. Look at that. Like walking with dinosaurs. It's beautiful. Or even if you want less, you could just make it black on top. But I think that's probably about right, but that is 100% inspired by freaking more with dinosaurs. It's beautiful. Excuse me. Kronosaur fighting a Kronosaur? I never. OK. I mean, is it because they're, oh God, it almost died as well. But it's still alive. I didn't think they would attack each other. Although the chase has been picked up again. And it really looks like this time that police is still not getting away. And it glitches again. Brilliant. But there's one battle that definitely doesn't glitch. And that is the Mosasaur. So let's release that bad boy. And here we have it. The Mosas taking on the Kronosaur without any glitches. And oh, look at that bite. Oh, it's gorgeous. And then it's sort of, oh, no, it survived. OK. The Mosasaur coming to finish what it started. The poor Kronosaur bleeding away. And then, bam, there you go. So it jumps around. And then this is a cool bit. The throw. It's all like, ah, gorgeous. And now if it goes, are you going to spring? No. We go. We're not going to jump out of the water this time. But anyway, guys. So there you have it, guys. Showcase of all the dinosaurs. All the new dinosaurs that are going to be in this DLC. As well as some of the unique behaviors. But I can't find them all. That's up to you to do. So until next time, if you try to be newly like, and I'll see you cuties later. Oh, bye-bye.


Well, the Marine Corps changed my life. Pretty smooth as to why we would need so many Marines to take this little piece of rock. After the first day, when they lost so many who didn't kill, they announced that night, you know, we're going to shore. And the island was so different in its appearance that from Guam and other islands that we've been on, there was no jungle, it wasn't anything. Even though we'd been in combat before, you could see right off it wasn't going to be anything like what we had experienced before. Landed, the beach looked, it was chaotic. Jeeps had blown up and tanks stuck, and packs and rifles, the dead naturally along the beach area. They had all the advantage. They had a complete field of fire, so every time we would move, try to move forward, we'd lose Marines. We couldn't penetrate the pillbox area. After the losing so many Marines, our commanding officer, he called for a meeting of all NCOs. So that's where I got involved. He told me to pick four Marines to help. And two of them I picked were in my squad. I knew those two guys. But there were other Marines there, and by that time we were so chaotic, we had lost organizational structure completely. It was just Marines. So I picked two other Marines, and I didn't know who they were. But there were Marines. So I picked them to help me when I was approaching a pillbox. Their job was to actually shoot at that aperture so that the Japanese couldn't shoot at me. Two of them sacrificed their lives at that, so they protected mine. And I said from that point on that it belongs to them. They made the sacrifice. I'm just the caretaker of it.


Russian combat drones and cruise missiles destroyed buildings and infrastructure at the Black Sea port of Odessa, including grain storage facilities. Ukrainian officials said on September 25.The attacks were part of an air campaign that has made it harder for major grain producer Ukraine to export its products since Moscow quit a deal in mid-July that had enabled Black Sea shipments and helped combat a global food crisis. The strikes have intensified as key of pressison with a counteroffensive in. The south and east that has made slow gains, Ola Khyper, the Odessa region governor, said the facilities that were hit had contained almost 1,000 tons of grain and that the bodies of two men were found under the rubble of a warehouse where grain was stored.

Hi, my name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food.  On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty recipes using everyday ingredients. Hey guys, welcome to week seven of the Pantry Freezer Challenge. It is Sunday, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and so we are having appetizers for dinner tonight. I made these Asian style seven spice dry rub wings from Walmart, and I also made some, it's called bacon cheeseburger dip. I actually made a video on this on our channel and I'll link it in the description box. It is so good. And then I also made a dessert pizza, so strawberry dessert pizza, but I just didn't put the strawberries on there, but I also have a video on that and I'll link it as well. Let me show you the packaging for those, for these wings and they are pretty good. Like I said, they're from Walmart and I think they're like $10 a bag or something like that. And of course, tortilla chips for the cheeseburger dip. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, I am making this Thai coconut soup that I had in my pantry and you just add water and chicken. And so these are the three packets that came in the little box. And instead of using canned chicken, which is what it says on the, let me show you, which it says right here, you can use canned chicken or shrimp. I am going to use this chicken that I had in my freezer. I just thawed it out and you're supposed to just add it to a pot with six cups of warm water. So I'll be back. Okay. So here is the soup. Howard really likes it, but he is a big fan of curry. Me not so much. I just think it's okay. I mean, I would definitely buy it again because he likes it, but it's just not for me. I'm not big into curry. He did add some extra rice to it. So there is some rice at the bottom of the bowl. But this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. Hey guys. So it is Valentine's Day. So Howard went to our favorite local Italian restaurant and brought home Valentine's dinner for us. So I got the lasagna and then he got the, I think it's like a pesto chicken. And then you get salad or soup with it. So I got soup and salad because I absolutely love their Italian wedding soup. It comes with bread. So both of these are, this is a bread and this is a bread. And then it comes with salad and this is the salad. We got two salads, like I said, and this is a salad dressing. It's a house dressing, which is absolutely delicious. So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, we are having some pork steaks that I had in the freezer. So Howard grilled them for us and he used this seasoning, which I picked up from HEB. It was probably last year on a haul. If I can remember, I'll try to link it in the description box. And we both just tried it on the pork steaks and it is pretty good. We both like it a lot. With it, I am serving some, a side of fresh Brussels sprouts that I quartered and I sauteed with some pancetta. And then this is spinach orzo pasta. And I used to make this all the time on our channel and I will make sure to link a video so you all can have the recipe. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, we are eating from our freezer. So in my freezer, I had a package of chicken thighs that I got a long time ago on clearance and I'm sorry, they weren't on clearance. They were on sale at Kroger for 99 cents a pound.  And here it is. I am serving it with a cabbage and kelp mixture. I made this mixture last week and Howard and I really liked it. So I decided to make it again and then we are, Howard is having his with rice and then that's just some of the chicken gravy right on top. And then this is my plate in the freezer. I had some dressing left over from the holidays and Howard doesn't like dressing so I am eating it and I'm just having the cabbage mix and the chicken. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time.


A few years ago, I showed you the beginnings of my book of Allen, which is what I call my Book of Shadows or Grimoire. Today, I have an update for you. Hey there saplings, welcome back to esoteric moments. Who here loves Book of Shadows tour videos? I certainly enjoy seeing how other people put their practice to pen and paper and love seeing magical books come to life, which is why a few years ago I shared with you my making of a Book of Shadows or what I call a Book of Allen because I'm not really putting down just reference material and I'm not just putting down small craft. I have a journal system that I use extensively. What I'm really looking for is kind of working out the things that have become regular practices in my practice, putting it to paper and pen and kind of collecting all the inspiration from different stories, quotes and ideas into one place so that when I need a boost, I can reference it. When I need a source of magic for different items and spell crafts, it's all in one place. When I first made my Book of Allen, I did a whole like binding of myself. I did the leather, all of it. And if you follow me on Instagram, you know that it went to the woods a few too many times and came back completely destroyed. I repaired it a bunch. It just eventually it died. So I had to go and get it rebound. I rebounded it to look like this with Grim Bindery, the same place I did my obod gorsi materials. I bound all of those for my Druid coursework. And some of those pages I was able to keep in the rebinding process for this. Some of them sadly weren't going to work because of paper and things like that. So it is going to look a little bit differently. Before we dive in, the front cover has this owl symbol with the same leather as my original book. It's actually the piece that had been on the spine. And it's what I use to kind of invoke the magic aspect of my book and bring it to life. And that's written in a spiral under this piece and glued on to the book. Book of Owen. I have my own Wheel of the Year here. It is not as decorative as many people's Wheel of the Year. It is mostly my own correspondences to different plants and garden processes. You'll see that I also have some of the obod official booklets in here, the Book of Ritual being the first one, and then all of the eight seasonal festivals. So this is information that comes with the Bard course and we use it in my seed group for all of our group rituals. It has a solo ritual which I've used. So I have that for every seasonal celebration. I'm beginning to fill in with some of the recipes and fun things that I do every year. Some pages I start and will come back to finish later. Some are pretty much done. I also have some plant materials that I've dried and glued in. Those are collected throughout the year. Sometimes I know exactly what I want for a page. Like if I'm talking about the summer solstice, I want some of the roses that grow in our pasture that I collect in that morning because that's a magical practice that I do every year and I want to imbue my book with that. There are some pages where I know I'm going to be putting down like our wedding ritual, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. So they're just in pencil a word letting me know, oh yeah, I'm claiming this page for this activity. I use the same font throughout the entire book. One, because I think the consistency just looks good and it's easy to read. Two, because I like the practice of using a different font that's very specific to this book. I've done calligraphy before and while this isn't calligraphy per se, it's the same kind of process. You're practicing that specific letter and that alphabet and it's imbued with a certain sense of focus. There are some experiments with Celtic knotwork on most of the pages. That's something that I'm really hoping to develop more of as I complete the book page by page. You'll see that rituals and practices are intermixed with just informational pages. We get into a section where there are specific pages that I then use like imbuing oil, leaving gifts for spirit guides, pages that I use for divination like OM and the pendulum board. And that's because this book gets used. It is not just a sit pretty. It is not just a pass on. It is a working magical tool that helps document my practice, sure, but also is a part of my practice. In the back, I'm really hoping to do more about the plants that are important to my practice and the grove that I planted and how that relationship has developed. So that is definitely a section that is very much in the works and lots of just like penciled in. This is what's going to happen in the future.


Gastric cancer is a deadly cancer worldwide, with stomach cancer being the fifth most common neoplasm and third most deadly cancer in 2018, with an estimated 783,000 deaths. The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer are highly variable by region and dependent on diet and helicobacter pylori infection. While H. pylori infection has been decreased through prevention and treatment, it has contributed to an increase in cardiac gastric cancer. A better understanding of the etiology and risk factors of the disease can help approach H. pylori infection. Dietary modification, smoking cessation, exercise, and genetic testing hold promise in preventing and diagnosing gastric cancer. This article was authored by Prashant Rala and Adam Barsuk.


Every time he takes an oath by something, it means it's magnified. It means that it's very, very important. In the Qur'an, Allah SWT often takes an oath by time. Various types of time, various moments in time, various parts of the day, but he takes oaths by time. He mentions, for example, Wal-Asr, literally taking an oath and swearing by time. He mentions Wal-Fajr, swearing by the time of Fajr. He mentions Wad-doha, swearing by the time of the mid-morning, and so on. And you have various examples in the Qur'an of Allah SWT swearing by different moments of time. And that means that it's important and that it is magnified in the sight of Allah. And the concept of time in general is magnified in the sight of Allah. Now in Islam, not every time is the same, right? And not every place is the same. For example, if you were to go to the plain of Arafat randomly in Shabbat or in Ramadan, let's say the plain of Arafat we're supposed to go to during the time of Hajj, and you go into Minna and Mustalifah in Arafat in those places, just in Ramadan, there's no extra benefit, right? You can go, you can look at it, there's not really going to be any people there. There's no extra reward for going there. There's just kind of you checking something out, right? But going during the days of Dhul-Hijjah, specifically in the time of Hajj, there's very specific benefit. Being in Arafat in the time of Arafat is very, very important. And so through this, Allah SWT has given us secret times to take advantage of. And Allah knows our condition. You and I are all very, very busy people, right? The life in these days, there's so much to do. You have to take care of work. Jobs are busy. Work is crazy. You have to take care of families. There's a lot going on in the community. And in general, it's very difficult to take out significant amounts of time to just do worship, right? Getting the five prayers in alone is already a big accomplishment, Masha'Allah. Let alone sitting and reciting extra Quran and praying a lot at night and learning extra about the Deen. I mean, these are all things, hopefully we aspire to do, but it's not easy to do by any means in the time that we live in. And so we have been these moments every single day, every single week, and every single year, different moments that are secret moments. And these are kind of like shortcuts that if you take advantage of, you will get extra blessings in your life. You will gain extra reward with Allah SWT. It's kind of like if anybody's ever, you know, I'm sure the children and teenagers here have done it.  And then all of a sudden you get this star and then you become bigger. You get a boost and then you keep going and you keep going and these boosts come, right? Allah gives you these times in life to get spiritual boosts, but not everybody goes after the spiritual boost because they don't know where it is. And so you have to know what are the times that are important. And again, as we mentioned, there are times every day, every week and every month will start with the times that exist every day, starting with the morning time. And the morning time is absolutely essential in our religion of Fajr. There's no coincidence that why at the time of Fajr, the light first enters because it is also spiritually corresponding to light opening up in your heart. That is a very, very important time for light and for tranquility. And you feel a certain calmness in that early morning that you don't feel during the hustle and bustle in the middle of the day. And that's because it is a time that's important to take advantage of. And then there are times right after Salat al-Fajr, for examples. The ideal thing to do at the time of Fajr is for someone to, of course, pray and then in addition to pray, to sit and do some vicar and ideally try to pray in Jama'a. And if somebody sits and prays in Jama'a, does some vicar and waits up until sunrise and roughly 10, 15, 20 minutes or so after sunrise, at any time up until Dhuhr, someone prays to Raka of Salat al-Dhuhr. In the mid-morning prayer, you will get the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah. Complete, complete, complete, as mentioned in the Hadjit. It's not, you don't really have to do anything. It's like 45 minutes. It's nothing, right? It's way easier than going and getting your visa and going all the way to Mecca and Medina and so on, which is, of course, we should still do that, but you're getting the reward. And there are some people who get that reward every single day. It's these boosts that they're getting, these spiritual boosts, because they knew the time and they took advantage of the time. They knew it and they took advantage of it. That's an example of something someone can do every day at an important time of the day. Another very, very critical time is the night time. Generally, at night, it is a time when someone should be trying to dedicate a little bit to draw near to Allah and spend alone time with Him. The night is special, is singled out. Allah also mentions Walayl. He also swears by the night. And so there are many things that one can do at night, but ideally, every now and then, if possible, if not every day, someone should try to take a portion of the night and about hour, two hours before slath al-Fajr, be awake and pray slath al-Hajjit. It is a time where dua is accepted. It is a time where forgiveness is granted. It is a time when spiritual secrets are accessible. It is a time when spiritual breezes are blowing. It is a very, very important time. Such was the importance that one of the great Imams of the past, he was very concerned about people being up to no good at night time. Because usually you either can take advantage of the night or you can be having a different type of night life. There are different night lives that people can choose. And so he used to be concerned about what people were doing at night. And he was so concerned that he said, you know, I know that at night is a time when people are caught up in no good. And so he would gather the people together to give them something else to do. He would have a gathering of knowledge and a bicker and of a discussion. And he would try to continue it as much as possible into the night, right? This was not, this was like, you know, seven, eight hundred years ago, not in the time we live in.  And he would be so generous. He would give them their wages for the day because he's like, I know I kept you at night. You're probably going to be tired and not able to work as hard. But at least I kept you away from sin. And it was the level of honor he gave to the night to make sure that, you know what, people are going to be caught up in something or another. Let me make sure that they're able to take advantage of this. And so it's about taking advantage of the different times that come throughout the day. And then there's also times that come throughout the week. Jumma is a prime example. Jumma is the most honored day of the week for a reason, Friday. And it is a time when two things everybody should try to make sure that they do. At first, of course, attend slath al-Jumma and ideally try to make a strong intention because there's many angels present in the gathering of slath al-Jumma. And there's a lot of light being distributed in this gathering. It is a very, very important gathering. Allah literally has a whole surah about slath al-Jumma in the Quran. The other thing that's mentioned is to take out a little time on Friday just to dedicate to the hereafter. You can't do it the whole week. Things are busy. School, work, homework, stress, bills, everything else, socializing, everything people have to do. But Friday is the one day, take a little bit extra time and say, you know what? I'm going to dedicate this to my achara.  I'm not going to be in this dunya forever. I'm going to die at some point. And you dedicate a little time to the hereafter on Fridays. And try to do that post slath al-Jumma before coming to slath al-Jumma. And then the second time that's called out within Jumma is the time between Asr and Maghrib on Friday. It is a special, secret time where many of the ulama mentioned dua is accepted, number one. And it's a time to do abundant salawat upon the Prophet, alayhi salatu wa s-salam. A time to do a lot of salawat, Allahumma s-salayah, ala Sayyidina Muhammad. Darood Sharif upon the Prophet, s.a. That if you can, again, ten minutes right now, you know, you could Maghrib's coming in 6.15, by next week it'll daylight savings time. You come in at 7.15, take out a little time at like 5.30. Work's done, hopefully, right?  And you will make extra dua for yourself and for your family. Make these as consistent rituals you do in your life and your week to take advantage of time so that you will have assistance throughout the week. And then the third thing to do on the day of Jumma, as many of us know, that it is sunnah to recite surah al-kaaf on Jumma. Sunnah to recite surah al-kaaf on Jumma. You can recite surah al-kaaf on other days and there's many advantages, but it is not the same advantage as doing it in the time you're supposed to do it. Right? So it's al-kaaf, the 18th chapter of the Qur'an, the cave. It takes maybe, you know, 25 or so minutes to recite, but there's immense reward. As it comes in narration, the person who recites this surah will have a light that assists them throughout the entire week. You will have a light and you don't know what that light is until you try it. You can't really explain it, but there's some type of extra benefit in barakah and blessing you will feel throughout your week, throughout your job, with your health, with your family and so on, just from the benefit of reciting surah al-kaaf on Jumma. And so that's, again, taking advantage of the time and doing what the Prophet, alaihi salatu wa s-salam, recommended that we do in that time. And so that's the day, that's the week, and then there's times of the year that are very important. And we're coming up on one that's very, very close. Of course, the month of Ramadan, about 20 days away, and in order to help prepare us for that month and get us ready for that month and get us access to extra spiritual boosts, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honored us with a night known as leila tul nisfu sha'ban, the middle night of sha'ban, the 15th of sha'ban, which will fall on, insha'Allah, roughly one week from now, so Thursday night, right, and the day will be Friday and in Islam, as we know, the night begins at Maghrib, so it will fall on Thursday, I think that will be the 17th or so of March. And so that Thursday night is a very, very important night, a very critical night, that it mentioned, it's mentioned in the hadith, that one time I say that Aisha, radiAllahu anha, she noticed the messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he left the house. And so she went after him, what's he doing? What's the Prophet sallam doing? And she saw him that he was at the graveyard of Baqee, Jannat al Baqee. As you know, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam lives, which is where his masjid is, right, and Jannat al Baqee, if anyone has ever been to Medina, it's very close, you're talking like a few minutes walk, to get to Jannat al Baqee, to get to the graveyard. And so he, she saw him there and she saw that he was making dua. She saw that he was making dua. And so she said, what are you, what are you, you know, she asked him, what are you doing? And he said, this is the night of the middle of Shabbat. And on this night, Allah forgives more people on this night than all of the hares on the sheep of a specific tribe known as the tribe of Kalb, which was known as a tribe that had a ton of sheep. That's like a metaphor, because in our time, people don't really have sheep. So you could think it's like Allah forgives all the people, as much traffic as there is, you know, on 8.80 at 6 o'clock. Like that's how much forgiveness could happen. Or whatever metaphor you need to think of, a lot, a lot of forgiveness, right? That's how much forgiveness is handed out on this night. And this hadith narrated in the Musa ma'am Ahmad and the collection of At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. So that is one of the secrets that opens up on this night. Now the Prophet ﷺ, he would regularly be making dua. He was always up at the Hajj of time. He's always up in the middle of the night, often making dua. But look at this, he's singling out something in order to teach us, in order to teach his ummah. And he's making dua at this time. And then he, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, also said, that's narrated in the collection of Ma'am Ahmad, that Allah gazes at his creation on this night, on the night of the mid-Shabbat, and forgives all of his servants and slaves, except two types of people. First, the one who's associating some partner to Allah, that person, who is giving weight to someone other than Allah, who is attributing power to someone other than Allah. And secondly, those who hold ranker and hatred against other Muslims, against their fellow Muslims. Two types of people. And so you think about it, this is an amazing night of all of this forgiveness, of the ah being accepted, of all these special secrets and breezes that Allah is giving out, and yet, there are people who cannot get access to this. By what? Not because of anything they did physically, not because of anything that they necessarily have even done, but something that exists inside of their heart. It's the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam showing us how important the state of your heart is. That if in your heart, you, number one, are worshiping and magnifying something other than Allah, there's a big problem, right? And there's very few people in the time that we live in that literally will worship, you know, physical idols and so on. The majority of this is now become figurative. Where people will have worship, instead of worshiping Allah, they worship the God of money. Instead of worshiping Allah, they worship the God of fame. Instead of worshiping Allah, they worship power. And they worship status and so on. That is a problem. That means that something is a higher priority than Allah. And so before this night comes, and as we enter into the month of Ramadan, it's important to assess ourselves and to think, okay, where is my heart at? And what am I magnifying? And how can I remove that? And how can I, inshallah, try to get closer to Allah and make him my objective, right? And then the second is to make sure to not hold anything in your heart against your fellow believers. And now this is a problem that's rampant in our community. That people could go to the same masjid, but they disagree with somebody because of the way that they do things, the way that they worship, a belief that they have, whatever. And they just, like, all this ranker and these problems and this fitna develops between two people. Even though they worship the same Lord, they have the same prophets, Allah says, and they have a different way of understanding things. And instead of unifying, there's ranker.  There is a big problem there. All the ibadah that you do is pointless until you fix that. And the ibadah should be helping you fix that. The ibadah should be helping us fix that instead of elevating us and thinking over something. And amongst those people who are in this category, as mentioned in the ulama, are those who they just declare everybody is wrong other than them. Everybody is an innovator. Everybody is doing something wrong other than them. That's highly arrogant.  And then to hold this ranker and not associate with those other Muslims. Or you might hold a grudge against somebody, gotten into an argument with your family member, whatever it is, but it's important that before this time and before especially the month of Ramadan that you and I forgive and let go. We forgive and let go. It's not worth it. It's not worth it to hold on to these things. It's going to do more damage to you at the end of the day, internally, spiritually, because your deeds will be at risk of getting accepted. And if you and I want Allah to forgive us and to pardon us and to not be angry with us, given all the mistakes we make, how could we go to Allah and say, you know, someone made some mistakes with me and I didn't pardon them. We don't want to be amongst those people. And so the Prophet ﷺ is showing us here the heart and how the heart is so important and to work on these traits in relation to how we worship Allah and then how we take care of our relationships with other people. And then the Prophet ﷺ also told us specific things to do to take advantage of this night. That he says first is when this night comes to take advantage of it by spending it in prayer as much as possible. Right? Some people have the himmat to do many hours. If you can do even 30, 40, 50 minutes extra of extra qiyam on this night, it is a very good thing to do. It is a very good thing to do. As it comes in a collection of in a Hadith narrated in the collection of Ibn Maja that Allah ﷺ asks and calls out from his calls out from sunset until Fajr of this night that is there anybody seeking forgiveness such that I may forgive them. Is there anyone seeking provision from me that I may give them? And is there anybody suffering that I may relieve their suffering? These three things, forgiveness seeking help and assistance in our life and removing our problems. I mean what else is there that most people make da'a for? These are usually the three big categories. And Allah ﷺ is giving an open invitation to make sure to try to do this on this night. So it is very, very important. These three elements. The first is Allah is the one who is all forgiving. It doesn't matter what sin you and I have done what sin our children may have done what sin anybody here might have done we have all made big mistakes but to try and in this night sincerely turn to Allah. Allah is the most forgiving, the most merciful the one who loves to forgive the one who looks he loves for people to turn to repentance and for people to turn to him and so you and I want to try to do that on this night. Whatever mistakes we've made Ya Allah I'm sorry I screwed up, I did this, I shouldn't have done it I looked at this, I shouldn't have done it I listened to this, I shouldn't have done it and it prepares you for Ramadan. Ramadan is only going to be two, three weeks away and so Ramadan is a time when we even more fervently ask for forgiveness because we all make mistakes and yet the best people, as the Prophet ﷺ said amongst those who make mistakes are those who ask Allah to forgive them and then the second category is to make a lot of dua for your provision your provision here, your dunya your job, money, school these types of things but also your spiritual provision, your spiritual provision to have access to higher yakin and certainty and states of spirituality and access to good traits it's a very very important time to single out, very few of us just sit down and like spend a lot of time Ya Allah make me from the people of patience and from the people of gratitude and from the people of contentment and from the people who are not attached to the dunya we might not be doing that often but to make sure we find time in this night to do that and to make dua for our provision worldly of course for everything we want and then also for our spiritual provision and then third is to ask for help from tribulation that many of us, everybody has their own problems sick themselves are sick, family members are sick people are going through financial problems people are going through other tribulations family families and so on, tension and stress this is a good time to turn to Allah and to ask Him to give faraj and relief relief for ourselves, relief for our family members relief for the fellow Muslims throughout the world relief for all the wars going on throughout the world specifically the wars that have been going on for decades and decades in the Muslim world often which are ignored and the new wars that have popped up all of these types of things we should be asking Allah for relief for tribulation because when collectively as an ummah relief is sought for, relief is given and so again these nights are there for us to turn collectively to Allah and it is also a practice of the righteous this is not from the hadith this is just a practice of the righteous of the people of the elect of Allah that they will recite surah yasin a few times in this night because as it is mentioned in the narration that yasin is for its intention and they will recite one time surah yasin for intention of a life in obedience of Allah again taking care of the spiritual provision they will recite surah yasin with the intention of that tribulations are diverted and problems are warded off in this next year and they will recite the yasin with the intention that to be blessed and not be in need of people to have enough provision to not be in need of people is something good to do again not required by any means and none of these things were mentioned are required again these are extra things to do if we want to get these extra boosts but because we don't have that much time throughout the year to specifically single out and concentrate we should try to take advantage then of these special nights and these special breezes that do exist and then lastly to try to fast the following day that there is virtue to try to fast number one it's going to prepare you for Ramadan most of us haven't fasted either since the last Ramadan or maybe you know Yom al-Arafat or Ashura or some one of these days right so to try to fast the following day so next Friday and to try to take advantage of that day by fasting and prepare yourself right for for Ramadan this is an important night it is a night that is magnified by the ummah it is a night that we should take advantage of that we should encourage our families to take advantage of and then we should also continue to take advantage of all the various days and moments of the week and moments of the year that exist in order to draw us nearer to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah We are getting as we just mentioned very close to the month of Ramadan and Sha'ban is an excellent time to prepare for Ramadan as the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him would say When Rajab began O Allah, please put blessing and barakah in the month of Rajab and in the month of Sha'ban O Allah, please put blessing and barakah in the month of Rajab O Allah, please put blessing and barakah in the month of Rajab and in the month of Sha'ban and allow us to reach Ramadan and so again, we're very very close to this blessed month of Ramadan three things we should all do in Ramadan or begin to try to prepare for Ramadan first is to try to pick, again focus on the heart of this Ramadan pick one bad trait that you have that you have and say I'm gonna work on this trait and if you don't think you have any bad traits just ask your spouse or your children and I'm sure they can give you a list hopefully short, but if it's long you can pick one and work down that list but to try to pick one, okay maybe getting angry easily, getting annoyed all the time not having any sorrow or patience being arrogant or whatever it is there's certain bad traits I'm gonna try to work, for example on trying to think way too often about work it's constantly on my mind I'm like, no I need to detach in Ramadan just detach a little bit, work when I need to work but then not think too much about it afterwards there's different traits everybody has to work on pick something that you have to identify number two find one good trait to work on this Ramadan don't overdo it, pick one and say I'm gonna try to get this down again, good traits exist, suburb being patient, being grateful being kind, taking care of other people taking care of your parents, taking care of your family trying to do some extra good but pick something because a trait once it's established has benefits for you and everybody around you if you've ever met people who are on the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ who have good character that they will be people who they always make you feel good they're always down to help they're always people who are giving out and giving other people because people of traits are people who don't only benefit themselves they also benefit others so that would be the third thing to do or the second thing to do and third is make a strong intention for an act of Ibadah that you want to do in Ramadan that you want to continue for many it's reciting Quran it's the time when most people restore connection to the Quran for many others it's to do extra prayers at night to look at the tarawih and other prayers but pick something and then find something sustainable that you and I can continue that you and I can continue and you'll see in the example of the people of Allah that they were so firmly rooted in traits that no matter who came to them they magnified goodness and they magnified traits amongst the great people of Allah that one of the great Shuyuch of the Umma Sheikh Abu Bakr bin Salim was a very very generous man very generous man and he had this whole kitchen where he would supervise the affairs of the kitchen assist in preparing the food and prepare food for all of these people that would come and would work to bake a thousand loaves of bread every single day 500 for lunch 500 for dinner for the people who didn't have food and so this wasn't included the food that he might have prepared for his guests and others and so one time a poor woman she came to him and she offered some small amount of food and his person who was there who was not the sheikh who was assisting him and he said no no no there's all these people coming to give all this this significant amounts of food and gifts to the sheikh what is this little bit of food that you're trying to give right he turned her away the sheikh listened he said no no he went to his servant and he said stop and then he turned to her and he accepted he was graciously accepted thank you for this offering thank you for what you were giving us to and he gave her a reward and exchange and then he chastised the one who was helping and he said the one who doesn't show gratitude for little things they won't show gratitude for big things and the one who doesn't show gratitude to people they won't show gratitude to Allah this was a person who was great in his outward worship great in the amount of prayers he did great in the amount of vicar that he did but look at his character he was firmly established in the kindness and the generosity and the good character of the Prophet sallallahu sallam such that his goal was to make sure people around him don't feel off and bad if that's something you and I have in us that we make people feel off and we make people feel bad and we make people feel constricted inside of us it's something to work on it's something to work on in the month of shaban and especially in the month of Ramadan and lastly and inshallah we'll end with this in this night of the miss shaban many people get caught up and debating the merits of it and debating should we do it or should we not look the big thing is if you don't want to do extra ibadah you don't have to it's totally fine up to you there's no point debating though there's no point getting caught up in it the reality is for the majority of Muslims as mentioned who live in the silicon valley are very very busy people it's very difficult to find time to do any extra ibadah so if you are amongst the category of people who regularly every night you're reciting Quran you're doing a few khatams a month or a khatam a month at least you are often learning knowledge you are often waking up for the hajjah you are often reciting books of Adqar and doing extra prayer and taking care of the needy you don't necessarily need any specific night just do it all the time masha'Allah that's really good however it's not the state for the majority of people so don't limit people when they need these shortcuts and they need these secrets and they need these boosts to come in don't do that because otherwise the majority people will say oh yeah don't do ibadah but it's fine to watch netflix and go on tiktok and all these other things that you're doing and watch the news and see and then but don't do extra ibadah how? that doesn't make any sense think use the brain it doesn't make any sense to limit the ibadah to don't close the door to Allah ever don't close the door to anybody with their intention who wants to do extra ibadah that there is strong proof for in the Islamic tradition that there is strong proof for in the Islamic tradition but if you choose not to do it you don't have to do it so try to take advantage of this night that's coming up inshallah this following Thursday night take advantage of that following day to try to fast make doaa for yourselves make doaa for your children make doaa for the community and make an intention to try to take advantage of the time that you and i have left every day that passes by is a day you don't get back you're never going to get that day back and only Allah knows how many days and hours and minutes you have written before the angel of death comes and takes you and at the end of the day if we don't find a moment in our life and make that intention that you know what i'm going to take this religion seriously i'm going to take this worship seriously i'm going to take the akhira seriously we will regret it and it starts with exposing ourselves to the days and the moments when these these special breezes are coming from Allah when special breezes of forgiveness are coming when special boosts are coming because that will create an internal reality in you and will insert light and noor in you that will then make you want to get closer and closer in the normal days and that's what we all need in this time it is a time of tribulation and struggle and many people are struggling and insha'Allah we should make that intention in Allah and the angels and the prophet Allah and the prophet and his family and the believers Ya Allah Ya Rahman Ya Ghaffar Ya Tawab we ask Allah that you forgive us and that you pardon us and that you give us barakah in our time allows us to take advantage of our time allows us to take advantage of this blessed night of littleness for Sha'ban Ya Rabb Al Alumin Ya Allah allows us to live our life Allah allows Ya Allah to worship you and only you and to make our intention focused on you Ya Rabb Al Alumin Ya Allah and whatever difficulties and problems we are going through please we ask that you remove those problems and difficulties and we ask you for everything good that the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked for and we ask you for protection from everything evil that he asks protection from wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wa barakah ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala aleyhi wa sahbihi wa sallam wa alhamdulillahi wa l-naqir wa l-naqir

I'm not done talking about she who must be obeyed. In my recent review of the H writer Haggard book I mentioned that I was familiar with the story of she because I had seen comics adaptations when I was younger and that's what I'm gonna tell you about now. The first was a classics comics adaptation by Marvel which appeared in 1977 right about the time that I first started buying and collecting comics. It's a faithful adaptation of the novel, but it's somewhat of a hack job and unremarkable and if not for this spectacular cover art, it would probably be forgotten entirely. But then in 1979 I found this copy of a Warren magazine called 1984 on the shelves of a local drugstore. It is a very much adult comics magazine. It's kind of the Warren magazine's answer to heavy metal, I guess, and I had no business buying this at the age of 13. There is some nudity in the stuff that I'm about to show you, but believe me, this is the tamest stuff in this book. Apparently there was an ongoing series in this magazine called Rex Havoc and the ass-kickers of the Fantastic. I've always loved that name and look at this tremendous team logo of theirs. Anyway, the people at Warren took this world-hopping adventure team of theirs and shoehorned the story of Haggard's she into one of their adventures and made some really interesting changes to the story to accommodate the existing series. For one thing she is now known as she who must be okay and her hidden kingdom in darkest Africa is somewhat of an open secret. It starts with a millionaire businessman who hires the ass-kickers to find this place and as it turns out, the lost kingdom of core is operating somewhat of a tourist trap and many of the citizens there are eager to overthrow she who must be okay. One of their motivations being the underground sweatshops she is operating to mass-produce tourist merchandise for Shiko. Of course when she who must be okay meets Rex, he is so good-looking and his name is Rex, which means King, that she immediately decides that he must be her long-lost calicoities. And then the thing that I remembered most clearly all these years was that there was a more complex and interesting ending. That they tacked on to this parody and until I read the original novel a few months ago I had always wondered if the Rex Havoc ending was reflected in the original novel and it is not. Re-reading this magazine now as an adult, decades later, I find it much more entertaining and I understand the humor much better.
