Hi everyone, I'm Philippe Magnus and today I will be talking about reviewing The Girl and the Moon by Marc Lawrence, his third book of the eyes, the epic conclusion of a trilogy, but not only of that, it is also the ending, the culmination of disparate elements woven throughout an entire 15 book over. I can't judge too well on the latter, having only read about half of Lawrence's novels, but gun pressed to my head, I'll tell you right now, I'll say and I will bet money on it, I'm not actually betting money on it, but I can ascertain that The Girl and the Moon is a fine, as fine an ending to a trilogy as any I have read. Why is that? Well, I'm going to tell you, in between taking peeks at the review I've written, which you can find on my blog right after the break. There is no break, no one is sponsoring this video, not even Spider-Man, not even Marvel, why would they be sponsoring this? No one is watching this. Anyway, let's continue. Its greatest weakness is that I wish I could spend more time with this world, with its characters, that I wish I could witness them do more, face more, live true, yet more horrifying trials and tribulations as beset by Lawrence, in yet more unspeakable ways. And that's what an excellent novel does, isn't it? You wish you could keep turning the pages, you wish you could keep following along with the lines, with the threads of these characters' lives. But you can't. Once the covers have closed, hoping beyond hope that the magic will return in a sequel is really a fool's errand, because what can happen except for diminishing returns? The story has been told, and it has been told phenomenally well in, what is it, less than 400 pages? Yes, just under 400 pages.  And I think it does a phenomenal job making you want more. Mark Lawrence is proficient at this, you know? I don't know if you've read any of his novels, any of his series before. I myself have finished one, Impossible Times, which is a trilogy of very short, here I mean 192, I think 220 pages a book. Three of them, as I said trilogy. And those were phenomenal. I read through them in three days straight over New Year's Eve. I was late to a party, a New Year's Eve party, because I couldn't stop reading the Impossible Times trilogy, which if you... it sounds a lot like me to be honest. I am something of a nerd. Maybe you have noticed up to this point. Anyway, my point is that having read the Impossible Times, having begun both the Broken Empire trilogy and the Book of the Ancestor, I can tell that Mark Lawrence is really good at always leaving you wanting for more. It's a talent, he's proficient at it, and he often makes me cry my eyes out while I'm wanting for more, which I do not appreciate. I have a severe napkin deficiency after this novel, and I have to be entirely honest with you. I don't like it. I do not appreciate it, Mr Lawrence. No, not at all. But, oh well, let's move on. Let's move on, shall we? Because I swear I am getting lost in the dreads of dolls here. I haven't done this in a long while, you know? And also, it's the Summer of Sequels. Imagine there was a shiny rainbow graphic here. The Summer of Sequels means that I will be reviewing a lot—oh god, I think I'm dying. A lot of sequels is what I was going to say. The Summer of Sequels is an event that I have made up for myself, which will fail horribly. But I will be reviewing so many sequels, you wouldn't even believe it. Oh well. My point is, take the gods I read Red Sister Before the Girl and the Moon, too. Just that first part of the book of the ancestors had me kind of drawing so many connections between the abbot—this is the world that both trilogies take place in—the abbot of the Girl and the Moon's present, which is also the abbot of Red Sister's future. Nope, that doesn't make sense. Oh god, I'm so nervous. I am so nervous. Let's try again, shall we? I think the gods I read Red Sister Before the Girl and the Mountains, too. Just that first part of the ancestor trilogy gave me so much more context to draw from and to understand the changes in the world of abbot, a world which is, well, quite a lot changed. The corridor in particular, the corridor is a 50-mile-wide space in the frozen world of abbot, kept unfrozen by a synthetic artificial moon that focuses the energies of a dying sun in order every night to break through the ice, to warm these 50 miles, to make certain that the last remnants of human civilization do not die out, and this moon is dying, which is not great. Anyway, the prior books in the Book of the Eyes, introduced abbot's vast icy surface, the unforgiving frigid wasteland of a planet's supports life as we would recognize it only across that corridor, and Yas's heart-wrenching beautiful adventure, saw her across the girl and the stars and the girl and the mountain, finally, at long last, reached the corridor. Spoilers, if you haven't read the previous books, sorry about that. And now it sees its climatic finale here. As a struggle against the city-mind Seuss and his servants reaches its mighty conclusion, and before it does, trust me, it's going to turn well and truly desperate. Yas, quinner, Aries, Tears, Ice and Fireboy, Mali and as many delightfully murdery red sisters and nuns of the Ancestor are going to have their hands full, their work is cut out for them, across so many enemies rearing from ruins and cityscapes and magical academies. It's really quite entertaining seeing so many binds that Yas ends up in, in her companions as well, and the ways in which they managed to fear a way out. I'm really a big fan of that. No one is safe, not the Convent of Sweet Mercy, not the Imperial Capital of Varity and its academy, and certainly not the part of the Ark of the Missing, which is the place that Yas and her companions need to reach in order to save the aforementioned eponymous moon. Now, how they do it, and if they even succeed, I will leave to the book to reveal, but I am willing to bet that you will be enchanted, entertained to no end by what goes on. No, so before I move on, let me just say, this cover, I love the previous ones, and I don't mind the UK covers, but this US cover is so freaking amazing and I love it, and I want a poster of it. I do. So give me one, please, someone send me a poster, I'm not giving you my address, you will just have to figure it out for yourself. When you do, you know what to do. Anyway, Spider-Water makes a superhero out of you, here's your art. Characters are drawn together, torn apart by cruel fate and faced with some remarkable tests of their skills and wits, seeing as they overcome so much. Her final confrontations, the losses along the way and the suffering she had to endure, only an ictor tribeswoman could do it all. I was thrilled by the connective tissue between Moon and Red Sister, for example, between those elements as well that reminded me, oh yeah, I really need to go back and finish the Broken Empire trilogy because I read Prince of Thorns some five, six years ago and I just, I need to read the rest, because I see so much connecting, so many clever threads and if I had finished that whole trilogy, I'm sure, if I had finished the Book of the Ancestors for that matter, so much would make even more sense and that is kind of what I love. This drawing of information from Yaz and her friends' perspectives that is helping along with a smorgasbord of interesting ideas which I will share with you, or want, some far-off day when I have finished every single one of these novels, these 15 novels that Lawrence has written, that's a lot of reading left, just halfway there, unbelievable. Anyway, I love the Girl and the Moon, I finished it a few weeks ago and having holding on from writing this review because past experience with the finishing of a trilogy have left me a little bit embittered. They've taught me caution, sometimes you get overexcited because the journey is over, you get a good fat dose of catharsis and then sometimes maybe you go back after you've written a shining review and you realise that book had issues, that book had some issues that I did not reflect on the way I should have. Yeah, you get overexcited, you end up singing the praises of a book without accounting for its weaknesses, so no, I told, not going to let myself make that mistake here. Took those few weeks and I have to tell you, oh and by the way, I do a lot of internal monologuing like this, it's, my head is not a nice place to be in, a lot of self-doubt and self-deprecation and also so much arrogance, just the pure seeding arrogance that I could be doing, this YouTube thing, despite not, I'm getting distracted aren't I, it's a tangent, I see what you're doing me, well, I'm not gonna stand for it, I was about to say, despite having waited a few weeks to review The Girl in the Moon, I think, I think back on it and can find no flaws in it, nothing that took away from my enjoyment of a journey finished alongside characters who are as real as any that I've read about, more so even a stellar example of Mark Lawrence's capacity to stick a landing, this one, The Girl in the Moon, Simmons, for me and I'm sure for many others, the Book of the Eyes is another must read fantasy trilogy, hell, put it in the canon, get a few nerds like me to write textbooks and teach courses, all about it and I'd love to, if only I could get past my stage fright, oh well, at any point, this review was weird and fragmentary, did you like it, you did, didn't you, come on, there's only you and me here, all the rest of my audience have left, so tell me, did you enjoy this, we like more meandering chaotic reviews of this sort in the future, stick around, don't forget to press like and subscribe and smash buttons or whatever it is that YouTube people tell you to do, because that's what you should be doing, right, you should be feeding that algorithm instead of reading books, well, maybe you don't have to, maybe you can just pick up the Book of the Eyes, pick up another of Mark Lawrence's trilogies and chill out, my dude, it's gonna be fine, you don't have to like everything, you don't have to share this with your friends, even though I would appreciate it, but you don't gotta, what you gotta do is sit back, relax and read books, it's fun, I've been doing it a lot and I haven't been reviewing any of them, so if you would like to see more reviews, or even if you wouldn't, you are probably going to get them here on this channel, I've got a review for Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky, I reviewed the previous book, oh, wait a second, my camera is about to shut down, ah, there we are, so I was saying I reviewed the previous book in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture series, was that the name, whatever, Shards of the Earth, you can click somewhere around here and you will be taken to the review, it's less chaotic than this one, but that shouldn't stop you, it's still probably informative, anyway, you'll see that on Wednesday, if all goes according to plan, after that you will see my, well, you will see some other video about Eyes in the Void of the Void, oh god, how did I feel, Eyes of the Void, the Final Architecture, that's the name, what's going on with me, I'm insane, I'm absolutely mental, it doesn't matter, it does not matter at all, the point is, you will be getting some content, because I'm trying to get back to it, savvy, that's what pirates say, right, and I'm a pirate, not a book pirate, unless it's academic textbooks, but those are very expensive, so sometimes I have pirates at those, sorry, you know what, read books, bye!


In my opinion the game has changed on this stock AI in my opinion it seems like it's going to continue to go higher because the shorts that are stuck in it are going to have to cover to get out of their position which is going to push the stock higher so does that make sense guys when you see short report be very cautious because by the time you get the report it is already too late by the time the stock crashes down they're using that as their cover okay so if they're using it as their cover that could be your thought process that hey if it holds the dip if it reclaims VWAP if it goes red to green that might be a really good long opportunity so when I first started I would lose all the time on these setups all the time on these short reports because it just didn't work for me

So the Nintendo switch is still absolutely killing it in Japan And we found this all thanks to a media create update. They're one of the sales analytical places in Japan and We discovered that the Nintendo switch this past week sold 61 1933 units which is actually a little bit ahead about a thousand units ahead of the Nintendo 3ds as you'll see in the charts in this video and Also ahead of the PlayStation 4 and this is notable because also that past week, you know, we still had Dragon Quest 11 Just killing it the 3ds version moving 260,000 units practically and the PlayStation 4 version moving a hundred and sixty six thousand units But you'll see that number three is Splatoon Splatoon Man Look at those numbers. Look at those numbers eighty seven thousand eight hundred and eighty four Oh, man, that is crazy So we know the Nintendo switch is essentially selling out as fast as it can in fact We have another report about Another three thousand plus people lining up to get their hands on switches during a switch lottery in Japan and again Just proving how popular the switch is and how its sales in Japan are actually supply Constrained the moment they put a unit on store shelves. It is gone in Japan period and a story You know in the United States you might see some bundles out there You might see a store or two that might have a unit sit there for a day That's not the case in Japan. It has gone before those stores even opened their doors now Moving beyond that The switch could be seen some issues in the future With the supply chain. Yes, it could get even worse and we know the stories out there about the worldwide NAND flash You know storage shortage and that's a real thing like I know it's rumored to be affecting Nintendo But it's affecting cell phone companies, so it's definitely affecting Nintendo in some way But now we know that another part of Nintendo's Switch could be in jeopardy So the Wall Street Journal has reported that Japan display, which is the exclusive provider of the screens for Nintendo switch Slash its workforce by about 30% and the reason for this is because of a significant loss something like 286 million dollars in losses and The big reason for this is because they use the supply screens for companies like Apple but Apple has started to move all their products to OLED and Japan display only makes LCD so with the big movement and phones going to OLED It kind of left Japan display in no man's land For production and this is not good while they still make, you know, Nintendo switch displays Nintendo switch is a very very tiny part of what Japan display does for the revenue streams So if they start losing their big revenue streams, you could be talking about Japan display potentially closing doors now Japan displays reportedly looking into potentially Partnering with some people in like China and Taiwan, but at this point it's not looking good for the company and So Japan display is probably looking like they're going to be closing their doors Someday, maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe it takes a few years I don't know that Nintendo is going to have too big of an issue or how much this is going to affect Nintendo because there There are other companies including the ones that make OLED screens that make LCD displays So I would assume Nintendo will be able to shift, you know, the company that's making the screens over to another one I don't know that this is going to potentially affect them But if Nintendo does have a hard time getting a contract with another LCD maker This could potentially present a problem a year or so from now If Japan display starts going down in the dumps either way the Nintendo switch looks like it's doing gang busters in Japan and while this little hiccup with the Screens might present a problem someday. I think Nintendo is going to be able to work around it There is definitely not a worldwide shortage and LCD screens. So they'll just find another manufacturer, but I Am really blown away right now. How well the switch is doing in Japan And it might be even doing that. Well over here in the United States. We don't know I know it's still really hard to get your hands on one finding it in supply online is nearly impossible finding it at retail stores is almost equally as bad and We have no idea how many units are even sending to the United States considering that they want every unit They possibly can get in Japan because you know, so tune to each of blowing up there it's easily gonna top a million units and We have to worry about things like monster hunter double cross coming out Which is probably also going to top a million units next month for Japan or this month for Japan even so Japan's got a lot of Reasons to worry about switch production and switch supply in Japan and I know some people still subscribe to that theory Nintendo is holding back stock They are preventing people from you know Buying the thing to keep it sold out to keep it things looking good I don't think so Nintendo's not leaving money on the table when you have thousands upon thousands of people lining up for a Lottery in Japan you think that's what Nintendo wants They would rather have a unit for every single person that shows up because that is money left on the table And sales of games left on the table at that I mean, you know, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of sales as between that could be left on the table right now Just because people don't own a switch So I doubt that they're holding back and the thing is we don't know when this Demand's gonna slow down, you know, I just said monster hunter double crosses coming We have fire Emma warriors coming out Which is probably gonna do okay in Japan it might be a 500,000 unit seller and then we have super Odyssey hitting at the end of the year, which tend to know those games tend to do really well worldwide So when you break it all down Nintendo is doing crazy good in Japan I mean really interested to see what the NPD is going to say about Last month for Nintendo in the United States, but I assume the numbers are gonna be pretty good I don't know if it'll top PlayStation 4 because PlayStation 4 just sells really really well in the North American region But switch has been making inroads and the momentum doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon And I know there's concerns about out there about third-party support and getting brand new games It's just not gonna matter this year next year. Okay. Now we're talking now We got to start getting those games But this year Nintendo almost gets a free pass because the lineup is so killer I mean, I haven't even brought up, you know Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom battle and how that's a day one purchase for me And I wonder how many other people are gonna consider the day one purchase to even as it's a game Created in a niche genre. It might bring new fans to that genre of games Anyways folks, I am Nathaniel Ruffles jantz from Nintendo Prime.

Why are these also abusive? When you want to live your dreams and you're ready to step into your full potential, what is the quote that you go back to over and over again? Now, this is an unconventional video for my channel but a necessary one because July is a massive month for both Jared and I. You have your book coming out, which you've been wanting to put out for the last 10 years but been afraid to, but now you're going to put it out in a few weeks. Just to see you go through this process has been such a buildup that I already know and I can already see the anxiety building up inside of you. And then for me, this is a special moment for me because I am investing more than I've ever invested in myself into this one project. So yeah, it's kind of a July is a scary month. And so maybe, dear viewer, you are also having a big month next month and this video is right on time for you or perhaps you watched this video in your 2025. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that we acknowledge the fact that even being here clicking on this video means you are already a dream come true. So I really feel like it's a lot easier to give advice rather than to hear advice. But sometimes the advice that you're giving you need to take it yourself. So we had this idea that I was going to give advice to Shan for her July month and then she was going to give advice to me for my July month. And you know, if you guys are going through something or have something big coming up, you can hear the advice and it can sink in as well. But I need the advice for real. Now, the first one I want to say actually comes from my mom. She used to say this to me all the time. It's not a matter of if, but when and like a family heirloom, I want to pass that one on to you. It's not a matter of if you're going to accomplish it.  You've already done that hard part. You've put in the groundwork for that. So when it comes to this dream that you've wanted for a really long time that feels slippery and kind of elusive, it's not a matter of if it's going to happen. It's when. So just know that every failure, every setback, every disappointment is just a part of your biopic. You know, in 50 years when we're all sitting around talking to a camera about your greatness, every failure will just make the story a little bit richer. Not if, but when. Everyone is always preaching about envision success, envision yourself doing well. I think you got to envision the failure as well. You know, get a long time, really imagine and put yourself in the position of it seeing your thing that you want really bad to flop, to fail. And then you can kind of work backwards and figure out why did that happen? How what are the ways that it can fail and live through that moment so that you can feel it so that you can let go of that fear. And when it actually does happen, or if it actually does happen, it's not a shock to my system. And it's a lot easier for me to get back up and to keep running the race. The death of inspiration comes at the hand of desperation. Our greatest strength, our greatest virtue is perspective. It's insight and it's hindsight. And those things are impossible to access when we are locked in on one singular thing, when we are clawing mind, body and soul. We cannot connect the dots looking forward. We can only do so looking backward, which means you don't know what that magical thing is going to be. You don't know what your next big thing is going to be.  If you're extremely thirsty out there, the way you're going to get the most water in your system is by cupping and gently moving. You're not going to get the most water by reaching and grabbing and thrashing and trying to reach for the water. It's just not going to work that way. It's always going to slip through your fingers because you cannot grip water. The same with your dreams. You cannot grip your dreams. You have to just cup them. You have to gently just go in and you have to be with intent, but you cannot be with aggression. And finally, dear everyone, please don't make the same mistake that I did and set yourself up for success. Take a few hours to set the foundation of what you do, what your vision is, what you're offering, who you want to collaborate with and put that in one clean space. I realized last year that I am basically that sandwich shop owner who has all the best ingredients, beautiful interior decor, amazing advertising and marketing, but I didn't have no bread. I didn't have that foundation underneath me, that cushion over top of me. And that's what I've actually spent the last year doing, making my bread, building my website, which sounds like such a no-brainer. That's something I only did last year. And thanks to Squarespace, I've been able to do that myself in a really stunning way that I'm super proud of.

Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I'm going to help you with the following question. The question says for some constants a and b, find the derivative of x minus a into x minus b. So let us start with a solution to this question. Let the function fx be equal to x minus a into x minus b. Let us open the bracket first of all. We get x into x is x square, x into minus b is minus bx, minus a into x is minus ax, minus a into minus b is plus a b and this can be written further as x square minus x into a plus b plus a b. Now we can find out f dash x that is dfx by dx that will be equal to 2x into x minus a plus b into 1 plus 0. This happens because we see that a and b are constants so they remain as it is in the second term. In the third term since a b is a constant so this becomes 0. Now in the second term we see that derivative of x with respect to x is 1 so this gets multiplied with 1. Derivative of x square with respect to x is 2x because derivative with respect to x of x raised to power n is equal to n into x raised to power n minus 1. In the first term n is 2 and in the second term n is 1 so derivative is 2x minus a plus b and that can be written as 2x minus a minus b. So this is our answer to the question. I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.


Hello hello, I'm feeling much better today. I just feel rested Like I got up this morning and I have energy I got up around nine because I went to bed around three because I was editing the vlog And I was kind of almost like three days behind so I'm pushing to do another one This evening and then have another one ready to go by tomorrow morning And then I should be caught up completely Anyway, so I'm feeling better today, which is awesome. It's great. I love it I am getting ready to go to the gym It's time to do back today, and then I'm gonna try to hit a bunch of errands while I'm out. I gotta go to the bank Pick up some groceries and then yeah practice posing all of that good stuff, and then I'll be back I don't have a whole lot scheduled today So this is gonna be a good day for me to catch up and just get a lot of stuff done That's just been kind of like sitting around. I have a huge pile of papers right here that just I've been avoiding for a long time All this I gotta get through all that stuff. All right Time's a waste, and let's go one of the unfortunate side effects of this extreme dieting and what I'm doing is Vertigo I get bouts of like Vertigo and dizziness here and there When I don't have my meal exactly what I'm supposed to and I'm just experiencing that right now, so feeling very Dizzy vertigo E right now, and I realized oh I didn't have my lunch yet So I need to have lunch real quick and take care of that, and then I'll be all right All right, so I'm attempting to cook as fast as I can right now The nausea has led. I mean well Rewind the vertigo has turned into nausea and a very acute painful headache, so I Need food in my body My potatoes are ready to go. I just need to heat them up Just do the broccoli and chop that up and this beef will be done in a couple minutes And then I'll be able to start Scarping down some food. It's my mistake. I should have been eating like an hour and a half ago But I just got caught up, and here we are. I won't let that happen again Pretty pretty pretty awful and miserable right now. Yeah, I'm just trying to push through it and focus You know part of the part of the difficulty is I'm pushing really hard right now because I have to in this last week and a half two weeks because of that You know a couple week period where I was at the conference, and I couldn't eat on diet And then after that I got laid off, and then I was like just down, so I wasn't doing anything diet-wise and That caused me to get behind on my schedule for Getting ready to compete and because I'm behind, well now I have to diet harder in these last two weeks And that's just making the whole experience way more difficult So that's just a product of the situation. You got to do what you got to do If you want to get to where you want to go I almost hesitate to share all the stuff with you guys because I have so many people in my life especially you know like close close friends loved ones and stuff who all worry about me especially at this time and all of that and I just know that When you guys see this you all are gonna get worried and Yeah, but you know I Know my body. I know I'm pushing it to its limit, but it's only temporary That is the name of the game especially when you're natural you don't have like all those extra things to like help you lose weight faster and You know testosterone to help you hold on to muscle more, so it's just becomes a trickier game But I would rather that than have to deal with the consequences of injecting myself with all these performance enhancing drugs they have God knows what kind of Consequences over time to my health and my body. I'll be back


We have, as a species, long suffered the results of a civilization with foundations for understandings built upon outdated belief systems, and a funded academic institution in which one is rewarded for repetition rather than that of pioneering a theory which could shine a light upon the oldest, most controversial corners of human civilization. Where did we come from? How old is human civilization? These are questions which we have not only witnessed being ignored by the majority of mainstream academia, but have also shown, through what we believe, is overwhelming evidence to prove that this same entity, entrusted with the accurate account of human history, has not only concealed a reality which threatens many mainstream belief systems, but also the modern, attested theory of evolution as a whole. Entire chapters of human history, and also, more than likely, entire branch-off subspecies of giant humanoid remains removed from the history books, concealed within kilometers of hidden artifacts, hidden away, withheld from the masses, often in favor of profitable avenues, born out of stability of understandings which powerful institutions grown out of which, in turn, protect their own survival rather than that of the allowance of furthering the understandings of the common man. There is not only strong evidence still to be found all over the planet of past highly advanced civilizations which displayed capabilities far beyond that of any civilization within the permitted timelines of investigations, but prove the tremendous age of some of these ancient ruins. These relics, far from mere ruins, are in reality, more accurately described as the fossilized remains of human activities that do not just stretch a few hundred thousand years into the ancient past, but due to the time needed to develop such features are indicative of a civilization nearly or possibly over a million years in age. The great stones within the Western Wall, for example, are not only far in excess of any weights, the already studied permitted ancient ancestors within known history were capable of moving, or indeed using as building blocks. But fortunately, this site still possesses ancient wooden stakes, presumably once used within the method of construction, which, regardless of the fact that the method is still an enigma to modern understandings, the wood, in contrast to stone relics, can indicate an age as to when this foundation was undertaken, petrified, fossilized, now stone blocks of what was once wood that are unquestionably of an incredible age, support our argument of this far-spanning currently dismissed chapter of ancient human civilization, which, if embraced by mainstream science, would not only prove this past beyond doubt, but would in turn threaten many currently highly profitable and as such extremely powerful and in turn influential belief systems and the institutions which have grown up around them in regards to ancient human origins and development. These tree roots can also be found upon the megalithic blocks of Gornia Shoria. Many other sites, like that of the inexplicable ancient temples of Petra, in some of the less publicized areas of the site, display immense erosion regardless of the site's relatively sheltered location. It seems that many of these oldest of sites not only often lay below several feet of sediment, which due to the funded and as such same rhetoric within geological studies forbids said sites to even be recognized as that of the past work of intelligent man. Due to this immense age, any human remains that may have been left by these ancient builders would have long turned to dust or have been fossilized at the site, concealed upon their discovery, or like any site which gains notoriety within mainstream media, secretly revisited and ransacked of any evidence of this incredible age. We believe that possibly the only remaining traces of these past ancestors can now only be found within the most obscure and curious of places, like that of the Altamura man, for example. A rare fossil, apparently of the genus Homo, discovered in 1993 in a karst sinkhole in the Lama Lunga Cave near the city of Altamura within Italy, that thanks to its location and the near impossible feed it would be to remove him, has been left in situ for the world to see, and thanks to where he fortunately lay, has been slowly growing ever since his death. He is quite possibly of an immense age and died an incredibly long time ago, and has, instead of slowly decaying away, fading away like the world which he once lived with him, has continued to be preserved in the calcite that has grown around him. Remarkably well preserved but embedded in stalagmites and covered in a thick layer of calcite, the fine was left in situ in order to avoid damage. Research during the following 20 years has been based mainly upon documented on-site observations. Consequently, experts have conveniently remained reluctant to agree on a conclusive age, and have thus never arrived at a mainstream consensus on the species it belonged to. In a 2015 paper published in the Journal of Human Evolution, it was announced that the Fossa was apparently a Neanderthal, and dating of the calcite has revealed that the bones are possibly older than 187,000 years old. How old is human civilization? Where do we come from? These questions persist, and as such, so do our endeavors of exposing the truth regarding the reality of these remarkable relics of a now forgotten history. Relics which we find highly compelling. Since the rediscovery of what is unquestionably the most puzzling, astounding, and enigmatic sight on earth, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza, we have been led to believe that what could be described as an astonishingly accurate yet somewhat vandalistic later edition was once put there by a caliph named Al-Maman, now popularly known by its coin title Al-Maman's Forced Entrance. This title, although argued as his work, has a pretty compelling tale attached to its possible original purpose. When one actually looks into what an incredible achievement this tunnel once was, it becomes apparent that it was cleverly bored by an ancient people, far more advanced than a 9th century caliph. Additionally, possible hypotheses have been put forth as to its origins by individuals who may have known of entrances into the pyramid. We in the modern world have either lost knowledge of or have been prevented from knowing about their existence. Hinged doorways made of stone perfectly counterbalanced to allow an average sized man to open and close them. Doorways along the structure's north face that, when closed, becomes seemingly indistinguishable from its surroundings. Are there still secret entrances along the pyramid's northern side? Quote, The Great Pyramid, a little way up on one side, has a stone that may be taken out, which being raised up, there is a sloping passage to the foundations, end quote, written by Strabo in Pyramids and Temples of Giza, Flinders Petrie. Yet regardless of these additional, highly compelling investigative leads put forward in addition to an explanation for the tunnel's existence, its remarkable accuracy remains a tough thing for supporters of academia's tale of events to explain. As author Ralph Ellis puts it, quote, The main problem with the classical explanation was that Maman's tunnel is rather too accurate for comfort. It tracks into the pyramid in a direct line for the all important junction between the descending and ascending passageways. It is often cited that Maman had to turn the tunnel sharp left to discover the original passageways, a fact that Ralph had in the back of his mind when they first visited the Great Pyramid. But he ambled down the forced tunnel, rather mystified, because the left turn cited in the literature could not be found. Having backtracked the tunnel and to try again, that left turn seemed to be no more than a slight widening of the tunnel. In fact, the digging was almost right on target, end quote. For how does one know where one is when deep within the passages of such an incredibly huge ancient structure? Secondly, if instead argued as having been started from without, the same problem has to be solved. For how did one know how to create the initial angle? Although it is now the most used entrance and although it has been drawn upon countless plans, to draw an existing tunnel's precise line of descent is far more easier than to have created said precise angle in the first place. And within the Great Pyramid is the remaining half of what has often been used to create a compelling, possible explanation for this tunnel's original purpose. Known as the sarcophagus of Khufu, an anomalous object found within the pyramid, an artifact we have covered in the past, no one can explain how this giant stone object came to be within the pyramid. It would not have fit through the existing entrance tunnels. However, at some time in the pyramid's life, someone smashed into this stone box, took its past contents and the sarcophagus lid, an object that would also have not fit around the turns of the existing tunnel system, yet would have fit through the forced tunnel and due to the vandalistic nature of the tunnel itself, could be argued that this damage to the sarcophagi was inflicted by the same group of individuals who built the tunnel, one used to extract the so-called sarcophagus's lid. Is this the real past purpose of the tunnel? And if created by a caliph in the 9th century, how did he tunnel so accurately on target, and additionally, where is this lid now? Was this tunnel, like the many different layers of casing stones indicate, built by a later, yet also lost civilization, one who flourished far before even the ancient Egyptians? We find the evidence to suggest such highly compelling. Many of the most astonishing feats of ancient engineering are often avoided by historians, with many historical research materials absent their existence, due to their unexplainable origins. The reason for this should be obvious, for when one gazes upon such relics, instantly struck with wonder. A curiosity as to how something of such incredible size or skill could have been created by the individuals these sites are often claimed as the work of. This is one of the main theses of the channel, for not only are these sites largely ignored, and thus overlooked, regardless of being historically important structures. Clear yet suppressed evidence that a civilization far more capable than any currently recorded within permitted timelines once flourished on earth. Relics with a very different origin and indeed history. We believe that such structures were instead rediscovered by the many academically claimed builders, and this is often argued as being supported by empirical archaeological evidence. However, the archaeology merely proves inhabitation, not construction. With a record of construction never found within any of these academically claimed cultures surviving records, merely having re-inhabited such structures for strategic motivations, and in doing so, left their own archaeological footprint, subsequently concealing an unknown aspect of human history, one which came to an abrupt end, and one such site largely unknown by the greater world, is known as the Herodium. What makes this structure so incredible is not the small arrangement of stone structures within the center of the build, but the earthwork itself, the entire site's footprint, and indeed the volume of earth utilized in the making of this ancient earthwork was of gigantic proportions. A seemingly pyramid-sized volume of earth used in the building of what can only be described as a respectably sized hill made by the hands of ancient man. Once one inspects this site from the air, its huge size becomes apparent, and the incredible feat this once was, and undertaking, if in fact constructed with primitive tools, would have been a task of unimaginable hardship. Thousands of tons of earth were at some point quarried and then transported to this spot, subsequently creating an incredible well-sheltered inhabitation with an intimidating incline on all sides. Many similar earthworks can be found throughout the United Kingdom, with the biggest pyramid in Europe known as Silbury Hill. Mysteriously made completely of chalk, yet this little mentioned site dwarfs Silbury Hill by some measure. The question is, how old is Herodium? Who made it? How do they accomplish such a feat? It is undoubtedly highly compelling. Something which has always puzzled us at mystery history, although the mountains of pyramids, the gigantic megaliths, indestructible artifacts, or the out-of-place artifacts, is the massive amount of underground cities found all over our planet. Extraordinary undertakings, seemingly necessary at some time in the very distant past, complex tunnel networks almost telepathically hewn direct to each other. Cut from hard bedrocks, with many exhibiting considerable efforts committed into security. Huge rolling doors can be found at many crucial junctions within the underground systems, as can be found, for example, amongst the underground cities of Cappadocia. Derinkuyen particular still exhibits its rolling door still in situ. No one displaying the builder's impressive capabilities, but also the abilities of the rolling stone operators. As whoever built these contraptions, unarguably still possessed megalithic stone-moving knowledge, knowledge we hypothesize is lost knowledge, due to the builders of said sites also a lost civilization, which instead of where they have been placed chronologically by funded investigations, actually, we believe, originate an unimaginably longer time ago, placed far within an antiquity not only lost, but actively dismissed. But regardless of the impressive feats these underground cities were to create, the question persists, why? Why go to so much effort? The cities of Uzkanacht, Derinkuyu, and Kemakli, all found just within Cappadocia, Turkey, are not only some of the most complete underground dwellings, with Derinkuyu estimated to have once been capable of housing 20,000 people. Derinkuyu even connects to Kemakli via an underground tunnel, an astonishing 8 kilometers long. And this is but a tiny fraction of the ancient underground cities, which have so far been found all over the world with more discovered each day. Many seem to have simply been sealed when no longer needed, thus many still lay undisturbed to this day. Derinkuyu, for example, was only rediscovered when a wall was knocked down in a house during renovation work. All seemingly constructed around the same time, yet any definitive motivations for why ancient man decided upon such drastic efforts worldwide have yet to be substantiated. Their construction remains a complete mystery, a fact we find highly intriguing. Many people will argue that these cities were chiseled by slaves over many years and a great suffering, a safe bet narrative which jives with the mainstream. When it comes to the academically claimed ages, and due to the people during said ages, substantially lacked any advanced stone cutting technologies imperative for creating such vast works. This argument, however, thanks to the volumes of examples of exquisite, astounding feats, discovered as a special few of these underground complexes, not only installed clearly to demonstrate an acoustic level of awareness on par with prodigal ability and possibly many other as-yet-undicipered features displaying excelled understanding of many of life's most intriguing subjects. The Hypogeum, located within modern-day Malta, is but one of many examples which can be presented as proof that whoever built these underground layers at minimum possessed astonishing acoustic knowledge far ahead of man as well as almost physics-defying stone-moving techniques displayed in the structure itself. The Hypogeum possesses a characteristic designed into its construction which is simply astonishing. It is so mystifying that although very little is known regarding how it was achieved, a certain frequency it can amplify which seems to stimulate the building's amplifying capabilities as if the entire structure resonates and has since been shown to also affect the human brain becoming known as the god frequency. Who built these underground labyrinths? Why? When did they build them? We find these incredible relics of a lost civilization highly compelling. Many people from around the world have now fortunately been presented with and hopefully convinced enough thanks to platforms such as YouTube, particularly Egyptian constructional revisionists, to now realize that there are many as-yet unexplained feats of ancient engineering which literally drenches these magnificent structures and its equally mysterious sandstone plateau below. Yet we further expose many other indicative features which were seemingly impossible feats of ancient engineering which we hope has helped a lot of people to realize that there are many fallacies in historical doctrine, many gaps in academic and curricular understandings, many things dismissed with flaky strategies and theories which have again and again, thanks to modern computer engines, been proven as impossible maneuvers. It seems many people and a considerable amount of money goes into keeping a stranglehold over the pyramid's possible origins and original function, inevitably shrouding these structures in a veil of secrecy. In addition to the original pyramid blocks and the enormous megalithic exoskeleton visible in a few obscure areas of the pyramid's lower regions, we have also in the past put forward the hypothesis that due to the advanced nature of many of the pyramid's casing stones and the drastic differences in ages they appear to be, all made with the same type of rock, thus to display such drastically different levels of erosion, is undeniably evidence of them being installed at many different times. Yet although claimed as being built within known history, no documentation of the installation of the blocks or indeed any explanation as to how these pyramids were built all remain elusive. Several different styles were put upon these monuments we feel at vastly different times within antiquity. We posit that they are clear proofs of a number of past civilizations' conservation efforts, but due to these compelling and visible proofs, one has to consider that the great pyramid's origins are vastly more prehistoric than could ever be publicly accepted, and due to these features having seemingly survived due to what we suspect was a number of considerable efforts to shield them from the environment by a number of different, extremely ancient, yet all highly capable, yet now lost civilizations, which we have identified in previous work as that of the Cyclopean civilization and the Polygonal civilization. But I digress. Many of you who have donated towards the channel and to reserve a book may be wondering when the channel's accompanying books will be published. However, I assure you, mystery history intends to go in-depth regarding his and other findings surrounding not only the ancient pyramids, but also the many other compelling, seemingly impossible ancient legacies found throughout Giza's plateau and many museums and many other controversial sleuth-gathered factors from throughout antiquity, creating the type of evidence-driven, visually illustrated examinational content in which the books will be exclusively focused upon. All of these factors are reasons why the books will not be written hastily, as my knowledge grows, so does my understanding of what makes ancient ruins so enigmatic, and I believe, the larger my research, the better the go-to guides will eventually be. I just wanted to reassure you that mystery history has not forgotten about any of you. Returning to our opening statement, however, many are now aware that there does not exist a valid explanation for the construction of the pyramids. Even if one had unlimited slaves, it is not a case of muscle, but rather a lack of space in which to utilize such. Yet what many who have not explored Giza and the surrounding connected ruins on foot are often oblivious of the astonishing array of ancient temples, clearly dating from the pyramid builders, not only lost for eons in the sand of the Sahara, but has preserved some in astonishing conditions. Ancient Egypt, its great pyramids, its eight-sided chiops, its incredibly well-preserved, once-long engulfed temples, and the inexplicable stonework of ancient Egypt, is but one of many areas from a world of ruins which we not only intend to unravel as much as possible, but it is an investigational struggle which we find highly compelling. We recently covered the impressive ancient dwellings known as dolmens, which can be found littering most of the European countryside. Enormous ancient structures, which we feel were left by a surviving, less capable branch of an earlier civilization, still possessing advanced knowledge, allowing them to build with such stones. Surviving remnants of the group, we also believe, were responsible for the masterfully constructed ancient ruins which can be found upon the same continents. Additionally, this era within human history was the inspiration for an animated TV show, namely The Flintstones. Curiously, the Flintstones, dubbed the Modern Stone Age Family, could easily be mistaken for a lost advanced civilization. Did the makers of the Flintstones know something we are currently unraveling regarding the builders of the Flintstones' homes, namely the dolmens? Or is it all a mere coincidence? Some of these dolmens still possess as yet unexplained evidence which flies in the face of academics worldwide. Sites such as the Dolmen of Menga, found near Malaga in Spain, this massive dolmen, one of the largest megalithic sites in Europe, is a prime example of the unexplained features which defy current explanation. The dolmen is 902 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 115 feet in height. It was built with 32 megaliths, the largest of which weighing over 200 tons. Nearby is another impressive dolmen, known as De Vera, discovered between 1903 and 1905 by brothers Antonio and José Vera of Antequera. This site also possesses some of the most impressive megaliths to be found in any dolmens anywhere in Europe. Who built these incredible structures? How did they build them? La Rocha Fille, in the French department of Villeville in the Brittany region, was named after a legend claiming that the stones were brought by fairies, this clearly inspired by their inexplicable nature. A name of fairy rock was given to many French dolmens or covered walkways. Regardless of whether our own theory is correct, the still surviving features of many of these ancient dolmens is clearly indirect contradiction with attested theory. Further alternative study is desperately needed of structures we find highly compelling. We feel that the evidence to suggest a highly capable, technologically advanced, intercontinental, possibly interstellar civilization once flourished here on our planet is now irrefutable. The questions we now feel need answering. Do not now regard whether they existed but surround their true origins, actual age, and indeed final destination. We would, of course, be the descendants of this past civilization, yet the proof of global flooding, past cataclysm, and a technological reset occurring within human history, we would hope, is clear for all who peruse our channel to see. With such an event experienced by a civilization, once capable of lifting and building with unimaginably huge megaliths, one would presume that post-event one would encounter primitive dwellings, yet built, partially with these now dwindling technologies, which would eventually become lost knowledge. We feel that, indeed, many ancient dwellings that can't be found all over the planet, in particular the United Kingdom, currently claimed as Neolithic, are suitable candidates to support this opposition. Constructed with enormous, unexplained, mysteriously lifted megaliths, are these sites remnants of an advanced lost civilization? We hypothesize that the builders of such, still retained limited knowledge and or technologies, left from their now lost civilization, allowing them to create stable, immovable, yet primitively constructed dwellings, which we still cannot explain today. Furthermore, and the purpose for our video, the extremely ancient, little academically shared dwelling, tucked away among a remote region of Russia. Located within the Caucasus mountains, hundreds of similarly aged megalithic monuments, which the Russians call dolmens, uncannily similar to the ancient trilathons found within the UK. However, it seems that these remaining remnants, possibly of the same lost civilization, still possess something which allowed them to carve perfectly spherical holes through enormous megalithic stones. Just what were these ancient people using to create these ancient structures, or indeed, the perfectly cut spherical doorways within? Who built the ancient dolmens that can be found dotting Russia, the ancient trilathons found dotting the United Kingdom? Are these structures, as we have suggested, remaining relics left by a civilization who had just experienced drastic cataclysm? If this is not the case, why do they possess characteristics indicative of lost knowledge, yet appear to be of such a primitive design? We find our hypothesis and the supporting evidence highly compelling. There are many places on our planet so remote or little mentioned that much of the world has never heard of said sites, and the great Selbik Kurgan is one such example of an incredible ruin that has been largely forgotten or overlooked by modern academic study. Clearly of a neolithic age, the thing which is most striking regarding the ruin is the sheer size of the megalithic blocks which make up the main structure. Claimed by many as the most majestic and mysterious ancient monument of southern Siberia, the mound is located in what is locally known as the so-called Siberian Valley of the Kings, where several thousand years ago, it is claimed that there existed a kingdom, one made up of a people once known as the Tagars. Thus, the age monument has been pinned on said culprits, with an age of around 2,300 to 2,500 years attributed to the site. The main earthwork is a stone square mound 70 meters by 70 meters in size, as mentioned, huge slabs of Devonian sandstone. Some estimated as weighing as much as 50 to 70 tons were somehow once inexplicably delivered to the site from a quarry site of over 100 kilometers away found upon the banks of the Yenisei River. It is believed that it was an ancient temple, and at a later date an ancient astronomical observatory, which like most other neolithic sites incorporates processional cycles in its alignment, showing the movement of the sun and the moon. As mentioned, it still remains a complete mystery as to what devices were once utilized for the importation and installation of these gigantic stones. At the corners and sides of the stone fences are deeply driven large moneers.  The rare excavations and explorations noted as having been undertaken at the site note that before the construction of the giant earth embankment and its accompanying stone fence, there was a crypt of logs in its place, once in the form of a truncated pyramid. This whole crypt can be found inside the huge earthwork, preserved beneath, untouched, yet covered with a thick layer of bark. The crypt had the height of 2.5 meters in depth of 2 meters of water covered the pit. It is claimed that around the burial zone, for a long time, a strong anomaly has continually been observed. The study of these phenomena has indeed been engaged by scholars, but the pace of said explorations has been suspiciously slow paced. Who built the great Salvik Kurgan? How were these huge stones transported to the site and once driven into the earth at the site? What is this quote, strong anomaly? More investigation and popularization of the site is desperately needed. It is a place which we find highly compelling. Thanks for watching guys, and until next time, take care.


Hello, and welcome to NewsClick. Today, we'll announce a declaration by US President Donald Trump that America would recognize Israel's annexation of the Jolan Heights. To talk more about this, we have with us, Prabir Prakash, the editor in NewsClick. Hello, Prabir. Prabir, let's look at the context in which this decision has happened. So Israel has been in control of the Jolan Heights for a long time since 1967. And there's been a lot of discussion in the recent past, especially over the past couple of weeks, that this decision was coming. And this decision was made in the light of the Israeli elections on April 9th. But could you give a bit of a background on the significance of the Jolan Heights itself? And what is the reason for this decision? Before we go into that, let's take what you said. At what is it due to? What shall we say the immediate reason for Trump as declaring the annexation of Jolan Heights by Israel should be recognized by the United States? Israel is really, of course, trying to stack the Israeli elections in favor of Neta Diyahu, who's currently in a difficult situation. There are cases of corruption, which the prosecuting authorities are saying have enough evidence to justify it going to trial, and so on. So there is that backdrop of an embattled Shalbisede Neta Diyahu, who might otherwise lose the Israeli elections or could have lost the Israeli elections. And this could be a trump card in maintaining Neta Diyahu's position in Israel. At the moment, he has really aligned with, and we discussed this with Ejaz Ahmad a couple of weeks before, that he has aligned with what would be called Nazi equivalent forces in Israel to the shock inside the United States to the liberal opinion, who otherwise have been supportive of Israel right through. So this is a really an electoral move. And Donald Trump's decision is as much an attempt to, shall we say, change the Israeli elections and anything else. Of course, as you know, the Israeli elections are really between the right, the far right, and even more far right. So that's the state of the Israeli elections. In this, what we seem to see is an attempt to give a formal recognition to a step which otherwise is illegal, recognized by international law to be occupied territory. And at the moment, the correct international legal position is the United Nations Resolution, which considers Jolan to be occupied territory. So that's really the equivalent of international law, because as you know, that's a security council resolution. Coming back to what you said is the strategic importance of Jolan. This is really where we can see what the map Jolan is. The Jolan has three important roles, as we can see. Two of them, geostrategic, one of them economic. The geostrategic role is, of course, its heights. So therefore, it overlooks Syria. In some sense, it can control a larger airspace and it can also control a larger land territory because it overlooks it and therefore it's easier to attack it or control it militarily. So there is a military strategic importance to it. Other importance, these are land, these are water distressed states, whether it is Jordan, whether it is Lebanon, and of course Israel. All of them have problems with water. Jolan is the head water, lot of the water that flows into Jordan River in fact the major catchment of the Jordan River is Jolan. So Jolan in fact controls a lot of the water that goes into Israel by some accounts. It could be as much as 25 to 30% of the water that goes to Israel. And we're not talking on the West Bank here, really is from Jolan. So that is the second geostrategic part of it because water, as you know, is a very, very important issue for all the neighboring states in this region. And last of course is the economic one that Jolan seems to have deposits of hydrocarbon oil and there are, shall we say, important American companies who are exploring Jolan, who have very, very important figures in the United States or the board of such companies. And therefore the economic significance of Jolan is also its oil which it may possess. And it has been argued that it could make even Israel self-sufficient oil. It's also interesting that other part of the oil resources are really the ones which are being controlled or could be considered a part of Gaza. And that is also something that Israel is claiming rights over. And therefore this in fact is Israel trying to grab resources from neighboring countries in the guise of occupation. But the occupation is not just military occupation, not a word of dispute, but also basically trying to grab economic resources which in fact Moshe Dayan said quite a bit earlier that the reason they went into Jolan was economic resources and water. And it was not so much that it was a part of the 67 war. The provocation was from Israel. Right. And if you look at the situation in Syria right now in this context, so on the one hand we see the Syrian government in the last one year especially having achieved a lot of victories in result and leading to some sort of stabilization. And Iran and Hezbollah are among the forces which have also helped the government in this effort. So how do you see this in the context of this decision in the context of the Syrian situation as well? Especially when we look at say Trump's decision or so-called decision to withdraw forces which he's actually not gonna do. Well here again Jolan played a different role. As you know Israel used to strike within Syria and when it got some amount of arms, rockets, missiles, air cover, radar, et cetera from Russians then one of the ways it retaliated if it hit Damascus Syria would hit Jolan. So Israel had that check on it that if they want unlimited or untrammel right to bomb any part of Syria that the Russians may not respond but the Syrians could and they chose quite often Jolan as a target. So that is one and I think therefore declaring Jolan to be a part of Israel would make according to Americans and probably the Israelis little more difficult. That's one argument. The second part of it if you remember in the clearing of the nearby areas to Jolan these were also the forces which were sheltered by the Israeli forces, by Israel and they belong strangely enough to Al Qaeda and ISIS. Supposedly the ones, the Americans were fighting in the global war on terror and Israeli supposed to be their closest ally in the region. Now all of this were really as we know or we have known for quite some time were held by the Israeli side. They were treated in their hospitals. They effectively worked as a hinterland for the forces over there. And one of the difficulties that the Syrian forces had was clearing these areas because of the backing that Israel did. Quite often Israel would bomb or use artillery fire against the Syrian forces claiming that any strike which came into Jolan from these areas was basically responsibility of Syria even if it was held by forces which are being supported by Israel and gave them a free hand therefore to bomb or have artillery barrage or missile attack on the Syrian forces. So providing in fact artillery support to the ISIS and Al Qaeda forces over there. So that part has been cleared out in this part in this at least adjoining areas to Jolan is now free of those. Now ISIS and Al Qaeda forces still are there. One of course is Idlib whereas we know there are strong Al Qaeda forces over there working in proximity with Arar al-Sham. All of them have changed their names just to get out of X, Y, Z, UN list, US list and so on but effectively they remain the same forces. And they had been earlier supported by Turkey. We'll have to see what Turkey is willing to do in terms of bringing back normalcy to this region. And of course you have the Syrian democratic forces democratic front which is really the Kurdish forces supported by certain elements within Eastern Syria and of course with US support. We have al-Tanab still an enclave still controlled by the United States still sheltering according to Syria forces which are close to Al Qaeda and ISIS. So all these things are there but it does seem as ISIS has virtually lost all territory that then the remaining pockets are being cleared by the United States claiming as if they have won the victory against ISIS and of course that it is not really the Syrian forces who have defeated ISIS on the ground which they have. And let's look at this decision so to speak also in the context of the Palestinian issue. So we also saw Trump more shifting the US embassy to Jerusalem and this is actually in some senses a move very similar to that again boosting Netanyahu considerably. And again in Israel there have been calls for annexation of the West Bank as well lot of in fact like Netanyahu's parties MPs have actually called for that. And then there's Trump's deal of the century which actually envisioned some sort of a fracturing of the Palestinian even the existing Palestinian state. So does this also look like a precedent for a similar move of that sort? Well I think it's very clear the United States is saying that whatever Israel has done or wants to do is acceptable to the United States in effect they are echoing what the Goldemire had said that there are no Palestinians. So they're only Arabs and Arabs can go and live with other parts of Arab lands and this is really our land. I think this is what Mr. Trump is saying and if they have to stay in West Bank if they don't leave West Bank then they have to stay as basically a second class citizens under apartheid conditions. So the question now is no longer whether there is a chance of Palestinian shall we say independence, a West Bank independent state, a two state solution. I think all of these are now almost impossible to achieve given the fact that this is what the position the ground today is the Israeli apartheid regime has dominance militarily over the area is supported by United States. I don't see any possibility of militarily Israel being today forced to hand over so occupied territories. So the really the issue is no longer a two state solution an independent West Bank with Jerusalem as its capital no question of even Jolan which is a much is quite a different case than that of the West Bank. Jolan is essentially something which everybody recognizes as Syrian territory that is also being thought of that it is worthy of annexation. So what we're looking at is can in the 21st century, in the 21st century it's possible for an apartheid state like Israel to continue indefinitely. And I think the answer to that is no but it's a matter of time now how long it will take before the apartheid state crumbles like South African state did. It is certainly a more difficult case in South Africa because the numbers are larger here and also it has the support of shall we say the biggest stroke state in the world today the United States. Thank you, Pabir. That's all we have time for today. Keep watching NewsLeak.

I changed this row and given that it only happens every couple of years I actually wanted to quickly talk about where I went, from where I was coming and why did I choose what I choose. So currently I am in Kery Neon and you might say but Kery Neon is based on Ubuntu and you say you were living Ubuntu and yes I'm living the mainline Ubuntu that was built in this computer when I bought it because this is a Linux machine and it does change something. First of all it changes the desktop environment which is a pretty big deal. Ubuntu out of the box the default one has GNOME on it and GNOME is actually what I use for I think almost five six months so a lot and you might try to fully ask well what brought you back to Kery really and I've already talked about this but very quickly it's because Kery works better for me in general but also all the new features that were in Plasma 5.25 has just convinced me that Kery should be the project to use for my personal productivity stuff like just source which I'm also able to show however the old Ubuntu even though I had Kery on it had some issues. Issue number one it was a mess it was a mess and it was my fault partially because out of the box as an example OBS does support recording the screen in Wayland given that you have a pipe wire. I didn't Ubuntu by default back then at least that version hadn't pipe wire by default it had pool sodium so I tried to switch to pipe wire manually and it was a disaster I don't know why I don't know what happened but I'm still grateful that I didn't completely break my machine that's how bad it went so I just couldn't record on Wayland which I now am able to do because Kedinion does come with pipe wire out of the box or whatever it is that makes it work but OBS does record on Wayland out of the box without any change so thank you so much for that and that was the worst thing secondly secondly the desktop the Kedy desktop that I had Kedy Plasma was not actually packaged it was built from source by me everything all of the Kedy applications the Kedy Plasma as the shell everything was built from source by me and this is because I'm a Kedy developer so I developed with Kedy Plasma and I need to make changes to try those out the issue is that master Kedy Plasma is unstable obviously because it's master you shouldn't stay on master for your like personal productivity side of things unless you're ready to live with the consequences which in general I am but I really needed something more stable so I wanted to use Kedy I still want to develop for Kedy because that's very important to me but but I also want to have a stable desktop when I'm not developing and Kedy Neon does meet that in a very nice way because you do have the latest packages in my case I even choose like the user version of Kedy Neon as if I didn't had to develop just to have the latest packages but not too much I don't want to be a stuff just stable but at the same time it's very easy still to build everything from source it's not as easy as could be because some of the packages in Kedy Neon are very outdated because they rely on Ubuntu LTS and I understand that but it actually caused some I lost some hours because of that trying to debug what was going on so but nonetheless it's really easy to actually build everything and you still have the stable Kedy experience I could have went for literally anything else like ranging from minjero which I do not recommend anymore they've done too many mistakes I'll talk about them specifically but also I don't know Fedora is very nice looking and but I used Kedy Neon for so many years that when I just decided to go with it I really felt home and it is very nice to use a product that is directly by Kedy as a Kedy developer so I switched from Ubuntu GNOME to Kedy Neon and you know what that's it I don't need to make 10 minutes of video just to bore you this is what I did this is the reasons so what like do you agree because I am not sure I did the right thing so I'm still asking you keeping in mind that I'll keep Kedy Neon for at least a couple of years because I don't usually distro hope but I can try out new distros in a little partition at the end of my SSDs so if you have anything very specific that maybe I don't know about to recommend as an example I've seen Crystal Linux it's a very interesting project I think so I was considering actually giving it a look so if you have anything to recommend go for it but this as a quick update this is it that's the video cut cut stop


Welcome back we were looking at the linear instability analysis of a plain liquid sheet this is essentially if you imagine a liquid sheet that is flat but has a finite thickness which is about we called it 2H exiting into an otherwise quiescent atmosphere. So we look at the density of the liquid sheet was rho 1 and it was moving with a velocity u 1 the density of the air outside if you want to call it the fluid outside was rho 2 on the top rho 3 on the bottom and u 2 and u 3 but essentially rho 2 and rho 3 will set equal to each other. So it is exactly the case of a plain liquid sheet exiting into atmosphere and one point we have to understand in all these linear instability analysis is that we are looking at the stability of an infinite liquid sheet. So there is no such thing as a nozzle from which the liquid sheet is exiting now you can do an instability analysis of what is called a semi infinite liquid sheet where you show the presence of a nozzle and then say they cannot you cannot have the possibility of disturbances upstream of that and you can only have the possibility of disturbances downstream of the nozzle. But we are not going to focus our attention we are only going to focus our attention today on the linear instability analysis of a plain liquid sheet exiting that of an infinite plain liquid sheet. So let us look at the schematic that we have like I said the sheet is of thickness 2H the density of the fluid is rho 1 and it is moving with a velocity u 1 uniform in the entire sheet and rho 3 we are going to set equal to rho 2. So we went through the process of writing the Euler's equations for both the fluids and then going through the perturbation process for the two fluids and we came as far as calculating the pressure field in the fluid above and the fluid below. The pressure field in the fluid above p 2 is given by this expression c 1 2 e power minus k y e power i k x times e power omega t I can write it slightly more compactly in the form that we are otherwise used to which is likewise p 3 and then so these are this is essentially the fluid above and the fluid below p 2 and p 3. As far as the liquid sheet itself is concerned we went through the process of eliminating one of the variables and using the normal mode assumption we got these equations 9 10 and 11. I can multiply equation 9 by i k and take 1 over omega d dy of equation 10 you will see why I am doing this it is essentially to get to the form that is in equation 11. So if I divide this by omega i k u 1 multiply by and multiply by i k.   Now equation 10 is omega v 1 prime if I take derivative of this with respect to y I will call this equation 13 now using 11 you will find that this right hand side is 0 because of equation 11 what we have I will write this in a slightly different way but still recognizable. So essentially I have now an equation for p 1 double prime this is of the form equation 14 where lambda squared equals k squared omega over omega plus i k u 1 the rho 1 cancels out the solution to this call this 2 1 and 2 3 just for consistency of nomenclature. So I have this c 2 1 and c 2 3 are as yet undetermined and likewise you have these two constants in the pressures c 1 2 and c 1 3. So I have c 1 2 c 1 3 c 2 1 and c 2 3 so now I am going to go back to the schematic that we had the plain liquid sheet I will just copy this whole thing this is my unperturbed configuration if I look at the perturbations on this so I can have two kinds of perturbations on this and this is the fundamental difference between a plain liquid sheet and all of the analysis we had before this problem has two interfaces as opposed to one that has always been the case right. So what do we do with with the two interfaces I will call the above the interface on top as eta and the one on the bottom as eta bottom if I write the form of eta t and eta b so essentially y equal to eta b eta t of x comma t is the equation determining the of the top interface and y equals eta b x comma t now because of the linearity in the problem the this clearly has a functional form that is similar to the functional form that already has occurred in the pressures I will call this eta 0 t e power omega t plus i k x this is coming from the normal mode assumption. So now now that we know the interface shape we can write down the boundary conditions the boundary conditions at the t interface which is the top interface the first one like we have always written is the kinematic boundary condition I will write it from the direction of fluid 2 and from the direction of fluid 1 from the direction of fluid 2 what I know is that v 2 prime which is the y direction velocity in fluid 2 has to equal the partial derivative of eta t with respect to t this evaluated at y equal to h has to equal this from the fluid 1's point of view v 1 prime at y equal to h has to equal the partial derivative of eta t with respect to t plus u 1 partial derivative of eta t with respect to x and all these derivatives evaluated at the unperturbed free surface we have discussed this at least twice during the course of the previous lectures but I will reiterate one more point of one more point of view so to say that v 1 prime and v 2 prime in these two in this equation are the Eulerian velocities at the interface whereas the right hand side of each of these two equations is the same velocity at the same point written from a Lagrangian point of view so if I was a material particle on the interface and I am governed by the equation eta t of x comma t which means the rate of motion that I am subjected to is fixed therefore the material velocity at the interface say either in fluid 1 or fluid 2 has to equal the corresponding velocity coming from the Eulerian description that is the physical essence of the kinematic boundary condition now if I write down the dynamic boundary conditions I will call these I have two kinematic boundary conditions at the top interface how many dynamic boundary conditions do I expect to have there is only going to be one because what that dynamic boundary condition amounts to is essentially a force balance on a tiny element so if I take if I take an element of fluid just like that and write down the force balance on that element of fluid that element of fluid is chosen to span both fluids but of an infinitesimal thickness so its own mass is nearly 0 which means the pressures acting on both sides and the net resultant forces should all balance out if I say force equals mass times acceleration the mass of the element itself is small then you are essentially looking at something that is where the forces are all equal since static equilibrium that is what we call the dynamic boundary condition so with that if I write down the pressure in fluid 2 minus the pressure in fluid 1 equals sigma times kappa we have already gone through this process of identifying what kappa would be if I know y minus eta t of x comma t equal to 0 is the equation of the surface kappa is given by this minus d square y d x square divided by 1 minus 1 plus d y d x the square raise to the power 3 half so if I simplify that knowing what the form of eta is so this is eta 0 t e power omega t plus i k x if I take derivative twice one derivative gives me i k times this another derivative gives me i k times i k which is minus k square so this becomes plus k square eta 0 t d y d x is essentially i k using the Taylor series expansion that we had I can clearly see that the minus 3 halves this term here is order epsilon squared so this simply becomes so this is the formula for the curvature so this is the formula for the curvature if I substitute that in the dynamic boundary condition I have p 2 minus p 1 evaluated at y equal to h is equal to sigma times k square eta 0 t e power we will actually do this just to sort of show what it looks like p 2 is known really speaking these are the prime quantities p 2 prime and p 1 prime because the mean pressure condition was where everything was at the same pressure so I can go get the forms for p 2 and p 1 p 2 is given by the c 1 2 e power minus k y times e power omega t plus i k x so this is c 1 2 e power minus k h times e power omega t plus i k x this is p 2 prime at y equal to h p 1 prime at y equal to h has these two c 2 1 and c 2 3 but this is p 1 double prime so we just have to multiply this by e power omega t plus i k x so this is simply the right hand the left hand side of this equation the right hand side says sigma k square eta 0 t e power omega t plus i k x so from here I have one equation that c 2 1 e power minus k h minus c 2 1 sin k h sorry c 1 2 minus c 2 3 cosine k h equals sigma k square eta 0 t likewise so I have this is my equation 17 which is I have 15 16 and 17 as the three boundary conditions at the t interface likewise if I write the boundary conditions at the bottom interface I will have the following first of all v 3 prime at y equal to minus h is equal to d eta b d t and v 2 prime at y equal to minus h equals d eta b d t and v 2 prime at y plus u 1 d eta b d x these are the kinematic boundary conditions at 18 19 just as we did the dynamic boundary condition part with the top interface I am going to implement this in some detail with the bottom interface if I go back I know what p 3 double prime looks like p 3 x comma y comma t is given by this whole thing if I evaluate so from this p 3 I can go to equation 7 as the equation that looks like equation 7 essentially because the fluid on top and bottom 1 and 2 are essentially the same the equation for the v velocity in fluid 3 will look exactly like equation 7 with the subscript 2 replaced by 3 so I know d v 3 prime d t equals minus 1 over rho 2 because rho 2 and rho 3 are the same and knowing p 3 prime is c 1 3 e power k y e power omega t plus i k x what we have we find is that knowing v 3 prime is also of the normal mode form so from here I find omega v 3 double prime is minus 1 over c 2 times c 1 3 k times e power k y this is the functional form this is the equation that gives you the functional form for v 3 double prime so if I use if I substitute that in the boundary condition 18 what we have it for 18 is v 3 prime evaluated at y equal to minus h equals d eta b d t the partial derivative of eta b with respect to t so if I evaluate v 3 prime at y equal to h I have minus 1 over rho 2 omega c 1 3 k e power plus k minus k h because y equals minus h e power omega t plus i k x equals omega eta 0 b e power omega t plus i k x notice how the exponentials cancel out in pretty much all these equations what we are left with is so this is 20 but comes from 18 I can likewise go through and do the same thing for 19 I am just showing you how you can you can take the solution that we have for the pressure and find the y direction velocity and use the kinematic boundary condition to come up with the expression relating the unknown constants and eta 0s eta 0 t and eta 0 b so now the last part is the dynamic boundary condition at the b interface and what we have here is p 2 minus p 3 equals sigma kappa evaluated at y equal to minus h you can find kappa to be the same k square eta 0 b e power omega t plus i k x up to order epsilon so let us quickly take stock what are the unknown constants that we are yet to find we have c 1 2 c 1 3 c 2 1 c 2 3 eta 0 b and eta 0 t we have six boundary conditions basically four kinematic boundary conditions and two dynamic boundary conditions in total when you go through this process though what you will it looks like a nice consistent Eigen value problem now mind you that all these boundary conditions yield only homogeneous equations if you look at equation 20 as an example c 1 3 is my unknown constant eta 0 b is one of the unknown one of the unknowns in the list that we had just here under likewise every one of our equations would be and like for example here c 1 2 c 2 1 c 2 3 and eta 0 t so every one of these equations would yield you a homogeneous equation every one of the boundary conditions would yield the homogeneous equation in these and six unknowns that are shown here but the problem is that you will find that when you go through this process the rank of the matrix is less than even five so essentially you have a six by six matrix if I write this out in the form of I can where x vector is basically I can write these six equations in this form what we will find is that we the in order for me to set the determinant to 0 I do need one more condition because some of the equations give you the same they are essentially the same equation so will not you will not be able to eliminate all these equations to get you to the characteristic equation the condition that is used is basically assigning a value to this ratio now let us quickly look at what this ratio means if I take two menisci and if one of this meniscus has a perturbation of that form I have two possibilities for the bottom one it is in phase or exactly out of phase so this number can either be plus or minus one so depending on whether you choose this to be equal to plus one or whether you choose that equal to minus one you get two different characteristic equations arising from setting this determinant equal to 0 so these are of this form but determinant of a equal to 0 is the characteristic equation so whether you choose this ratio to be equal to plus one or whether you choose it equal to minus one gives you two separate characteristic equations that is essentially if you go back what is the characteristic equation characteristic equation is some f of k right so you have one equation for eta 0 b over eta 0 t equal to one which are called sinuous perturbations sinuous mode would be a better way to say it and you would get another equation this is called the varicose so for a given wavelength or for a given wave number for a given wave number I can get one growth rate if the disturbance was in the sinuous mode and I can get another growth rate if the disturbance was in the varicose mode so for a given flow situation I need to know what disturbance that I am looking at so I can plot my dispersion diagram which is omega versus k so I want to ultimately identify the value of k for which omega is a maximum and for me to get to that condition I need to know which mode it is that I am looking at so typically what you could do is that you could plot a dispersion diagram for both the sinuous mode and the varicose mode and choose the one k that has the maximum growth rate of all the modes possible of both the sinuous and the varicose modes so in fact this is kind of nice if you go back and look at what this actually physically means the if I assume the sheet is of the if I assume the sheets to be composed of parallel menisci initially in the unperturbed condition the sinuous mode says that both of them are in phase which is like saying that the sheet is going to if I look at the top meniscus and the bottom meniscus as being the top and bottom surfaces of my palm essentially they are both in phase sort of like that so this is like a flag flapping in a breeze for example would be the case of a of a sinuous mode except for a rigid object you cannot have a varicose mode but since you have you are dealing with a liquid sheet the liquid sheet would go into a mode where it thickens in at one point and thins at another point completely symmetric about the half way axis about the x equal to about the y equal to 0 position. So there are situations where we see that a sheet thickens and thins which in the varicose mode there are situations where the sheet is more of a flapping nature. So depending on the flow condition you may get one kind of break up or the other now if you go back and look at the analysis that we have that we have performed there is nothing in this analysis that says that the liquid sheet that you have a liquid sheet exiting into air they are just fluids of some densities I could have a gaseous sheet. So like a sheet of gas that is let us say entering and otherwise quiescent liquid. Now you can imagine how if I did that the varicose mode would essentially mean bubbles forming the minisci sort of being anti symmetric to each other or minisci being mirror images about the y equal to 0 axis would amount to sort of like a bubble becoming trapped. So if you did this analysis you would find that the situation where rho 2 is less than rho 1 and rho 1 is less than rho 2 and rho 3 would give you the varicose mode showing the dominant behavior whereas if you had a liquid sheet exiting into air generally speaking you would find the sinuous mode dominating. So let us look at some results so if I completed this analysis what I will get is a dispersion relation that looks like this with this alpha being equal to 2 H in our analysis this is from this paper by Ibrahim and Akpan from the Akta Mechanica.  Now if I so this is essentially a quadratic in omega so that I can solve just like the previous situation I can write omega is minus tan hyperbolic I can essentially I can write the dispersion relation in closed form where I will get two roots for a given value of k. Now this is for a sinuous mode so somewhere along you will see if you go back to this reference they would have assumed that eta 0 t or eta 0 b over eta 0 t is equal to 1. Now if I look at the results from if I look at an extension of this now all thus far we have only looked at inviscid analysis we will at the beginning of the next class start off with including the effect of viscosity liquid viscosity and see what we find.
