Actually, I have collected a very nice range of beautiful bird visualisation from the bronzage of the carpacing based material to show you how diverse this visualisation can be. Here, I will work with the potaryfoite. As you can see, they also have a high diversity, different kinds of birds. And, what the Zoro law, zoro archaeological investigation proves, that the bronze age list, ga sil現jeneuary za vsoče, počebenje dvoje, najbolj v conflicta dva poče, svoje dobroj, tudi neč si na svoje strane, zelo da je niso poče sprunovati na tvojo zelo. Tako zelo ki se s vahti zelo, neč je izvizualizacija iz boj, čas je okazala. Zelo da je zelo izaperil, nekaj prav, da čljamo z panjih izrečovih, kiquisite vakrošenje, aspečnosti in naredrišenej vseg tukaj. Odnočolem, da ne splugalte tukaj, še nekaj zelo všeko, nič nekaj tereske sp Cezič, da priča počkama prejacti had a konekšnja, nekaj skaj, ali, najbolj, z vodem, ali, nekaj, z vodem. In smo zelo, da vzelo, da vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, da vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzelo, vzvešali nekaj nekaj malih, pomočenju, zato je prišlo tudi na vsej, zato je na vsej izgleda v nekaj ještji, na neko vsej, na srečenju nalogu, in se za tudi na tudi. Zelo je, da tudi najhto se v zelo, kaj je je iz redu, nekaj je iz redu, kaj je iz izredne na vsej, nal Sametari, in se je nekaj... Ne kajte nekaj regularišac, nekaj vrčic, nekaj je zelo izvečanje vsepljavnih veček in semetarije. Brze bi so vse zelo zanimil, da je našli, da je odrečil, da ima delovom den, da tudi pogledati o zelo, z napradneh nama, pa se pravili, da počelnih ne bo. To ne bo dojerneh. To bo dojerneh ne se pravili in da je več-več poček vstah naprej. Daj smo gledati gdje za bo ?! But ne shouldn't forget that the Bronze Age lasted more than 1,100 years. Zato je bilo, da je zelo, da je tudi oči vrti. To se však je več veči artefakčne. Zelo sem tudi pravim semitori, ker je tudi vrti poslutni artefakčni. 50 gravs in 1 vrti. 50 gravs in pri vadi od 1 grav. Vseh je tudi treba retov z vrštih, ali je tudi jedno z vrštih. In tudi 50, tudi jedno. Tudi, najpozornej, vrštih, je Dunapentala, ki je vrštih, in tudi je tudi jedno z vrštih, ki se možemo vzveč. Nisem, je to vrštih, Zato ne bi se tomu počusti, da je to jedno, zelo jedno države, ali, da je počusti s tenem države, ne ješte njavno, da je tko v zelo ještje. Sreč sem, da vsi države sezbojilo, sezbojilo, skorito, od stvarj, ne možete počusti, imamo zelo, da se počusti, sezboj, očiljnega je nekaj lepov, ki zelo v počke. Tako proste in nekaj vičnja postavljamo.  So nekaj zelo se počke, nekaj je vseh, nekaj je vseh, nekaj je vseh, nekaj je stajen, kaj je vseh. In zelo, kako smo pričeli etnograficje materije, ker, nekaj prehistorije ne zelo, zelo, da počekaj, nekaj analoži s etnograficjimi rekorcij, smo zelo, da nekaj nekaj prišli, zelo, da nekaj prišli na zelo, na zelo, na zelo, na zelo, nekaj nekaj prišli, nekaj prišli na zelo, and not with the sky, as generally said. And if we compare the organic material we find in the settlements and in the cemeteries, we find something similar and it means that the birds were more valuable from cultural point of view than as mid provisions. So that was the basic information which I could collect from the investigation of birds artifacts because we have anthropomorphized birds, but very few, so that's why I needed widening the study. If we try to study the bird-human relationship in visualization in the ceramic object, we have these four categories that bird with human feet or legs and human with bird face or bird mask, as it is supposed in many times, or bird with human face and bird body with female breast. Then I show you some nice artifacts from this categorization. Birds with human feet takes the majority of these anthropomorphized birds in the archaeological material and there are many retors among them. And these retors, I don't think that they are toys because they are often mentioned or they are often assumed that they might be toys for children, but they are fragile and you can understand if the small children who likes playing with the rattle, they don't, they break the neck and the head of this bird very easily. So they are not men. And many of them which you can see in these slides comes from sanitary. So actually they are meant for the dead person and certainly not to their children. When we see these birds depictions or these birds vessels, there is the question, are these real birds can ornithologist define the species of these birds, it's possible at all or not? So certainly I try to ask colleagues to try to find out which species they might be, but they don't like giving direct answers, but generally it's familiar for us, I think. But they generally like to say that they are water birds, they look like water birds, but I think so I took the time and tried to find in the Carpathian Basin or Nethological List or catalog to find which is the best similar to them.  The bastard is a big bird in the Carpathian Basin, now it is on the rarity list, but still it's quite a big body, but it doesn't like flying at all because of it has big body, but like running and moving on the ground first of all. The other question, what comes studying these birds with human legs, because you may see that first I saw that these are not human legs, because just for the stability of these small figurines, that's why the pottery made this way. But then I noticed that these legs has fingers, and certainly these fingers are not like the bird feet, but like the human fingers. So many of them, if you have a closer look at them, many of them are really human fingers, so these legs are really human legs. And if these are human legs, what might have been the purpose to give human legs birds anyhow. So maybe the makers just wanted to express that these birds are equal beings with the humans, and maybe they might something common with the notion of animism. So they were ritually animated, or how to express it. So I don't like going to the anthropological field as an archaeologist, because I am an archaeologist, but I think this is the second possibility, which we can say that it was intentionally, they intentionally made human legs to express their human sense of these birds as well. I work with the Bronze Age, but now I show you some beautiful archaeological finds from the earlier period to show that this, what I was talking about, or the anthropomorphic features are not the privilege of the Bronze Age, in the Carpathian Bison. This is a famous artefact, which was found in a grave, and it is believed to have burned body and human legs, which cannot be seen quite well in this photo, but you must believe me that it is a human. They are, it has human legs. And it comes from a very early period, because it is from the 5th millennium BC of the Carpathian Bison. The second categorization from this point of view is that humans with bird face or bird mask, this, we have very, very few, hardly any, this type of artefacts in the Carpathian Bison, but I am proud to put the Dupiaia cart with these famous birds and the famous figurines into the Carpathian Bison, because actually it is in the Carpathian Bison. And this bird face or bird mask raised a question, and they might have represented a shamanistic type of beliefs or not. Unfortunately, there are very strong critiques against interpreting these as bird face, because these who are against them believe that it is the reason that the nose is a prominent feature of the face, and it is just only overemphasized. It might be true, certainly, but if we have a look at some representation, for example, in the same period of the Bronze Age, these are the famous Shiva stones, where you can see human beings and something which also looks like human, but still they have very different heads. So it means that these heads look like and quite often interpreted as bird woman or bird man, because there are human beings here and you can see that they are different. And if you want to... I just put two pictures of a bird mask or bird feature having on the head in the picture, in the slides to show that it might have been something similar if they were really bird. However, if we go back to the earlier times, you know these famous Lascaux paintings, I just show you because it is also strongly criticized and certainly I don't want to talk about it just to show, and maybe it is really just overemphasized, but the earlier time in the Neolithic period, for example, from the Vinča culture, so here there are such small figurines or representations, the so-called bird lady or lady bird, which I don't think that's the overemphasizing of the nose of a human face.  And we have a very unique object in the Capacian basin, birds with human face, a bird actually with human face, an escoi, which actually is an escoi, but with a bird body, but human face. And the escoi are well known for the Zauzistan European archaeologists because there are tremendous escoi everywhere, but we have no other analogy, analogy with human face. And also the purpose of the escoi or the use of escoi in settlements or cemeteries, because we find them in settlements and we find them in cemeteries as well. So we know, we just believe that they are really ritual vessels. Unfortunately, we have only single example when they found something in the escoi and investigated it and they found that it might have been animal blood. So it comes from a grave. I tried to find out the original purpose of the escoi, I mean as a ritual vessel, but actually the origin is, I don't think that it can be said exactly which area was its original place. I think the whole Zauz east Europe full of escos and from the early beginnings as well. There are opinions that the escos was found in or invented in the Kikladiq, but we have much other pieces from other sites of Zauzistan Europe. And maybe the early finds which figure the body of the vessels seems to be similar to a bird vessel. Maybe it actually doesn't represent or doesn't depict the bird, but another type of escoi, which actually was made from the stomach of an animal, I don't know the English, the correct English word, which also have similar, the line of the body is similar to a line of a bird. That's why when it is not, the details are not so many on it, you cannot make a difference between them. So in the earlier type, this type of escoi, I don't think that you can say that if they are bird or not or the other type. And these are also comes from the very early period, the protossesqlo, which is 7000 before Christ. So it is quite early. This map, I show this map because I just want to emphasize that these triangles, the black triangle shows the spread of the escoi and you can see that the escoi cannot be found in the other part of Northern Europe, to Northern part, to further north from the Carpathian Basin. So maybe the Carpathian Basin is the last territory where the escoi was spread. Generally, the archaeologists say that the escoi has an eastern or southern origin, that's why they have a certain connection with the God idea, anthropomorphic God idea. But also at the same time as we have, and sorry, I just go back to the retors and other bird vessels, which are very diverse, but there are many of them. You can see them, you can find them in the Northern part, further north from the Carpathian Basin. So we believe that there might have been two main beliefs alongside with each other in the Carpathian Basin during the Bronze Age. That's maybe a little bit animistic when they use the birds as when they consider the birds as equal with human. And the idol might have been similar to the God imagination. And now here are the famous escos with human face. We have similar human face from the Troja about a bit earlier times, so it shows, we know that there might have been good communication between them. And there are two beautiful examples from the earlier period.  Another one with the Neolithic bird body with human face as well. And we have a very unique one, which has no face, but has female genitalia. So we have two breasts. So whether it might mean that these escos represented female beings, or it is just by chance, or not by chance, but it is just a single or few expression that it might have been male and female as well. Unfortunately, there are no analogies for them. And my conclusion can be after investigating the stereomorph or anthropomorphic birds that it's very difficult to offer any general ideas about them, because there are too few of them. And they might have participated also in shamanistic beliefs, because the escos also assumed to contain such hallucinic liquid, which helped the shaman or the person to their vision quest or vision travel. And they might represent two belief systems, the escoy and other bird shapes, bird with human legs. And also they might have participated in such rituals, which has a connection with some transition. So that's why maybe in the burials or in the funeral rituals, they played such important role, these birds with human legs or these one. And if these are animated beings, which have the shaman or just it was believed for the people who believed that the whole world around them were equal with humans, we don't know exactly. Thank you for your attention.


Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's episode, we are continuing on with our VGC Series 11 content. In today's episode, we are continuing on with our VGC Series 11 content. Now Series 11 kicked off last week and if you missed any of the episodes on the channel that we put up last week, we had a bunch of sample teams to help you get started in the series if you're wanting to kind of find your feet a little bit. There is five sample teams that were featured from Monday to Friday last week that you can use and they're all the kind of top tier restricted Pokemon that you would kind of be seeing in the format at the minute to help you get started. So do check them out, link the playlist up in the top right hand corner. But getting on to today's episode, we do have a rental code and it is from Joe, fellow YouTuber Clover Bells, their YouTube channel and all their socials will be linked down in the description. So a big shout out to Joe who does put out a lot of really great VGC content and great teams as well. And this is one of them of course. I saw the Dialga team from a tweet of his last week, checked out the team and it was really great. Dialga definitely one of those restrictors that I did want to feature on the channel. And this team is brilliant. So hopefully you enjoyed today's episode. We'll see he has the overview of the team. There's a rental code. We'll have a couple of games with the team. Now just to pilot it short off and see how it works and then we'll wrap up with the rental at the end. So without further ado friends, hope you enjoyed today's episode and we'll get into game one. Okay, first up today we have a Cinderess talk call, Zapdos, Dialga, Weezing and Reggie Gigas team. Quite an interesting one for us to kick off with today, especially with that Weezing and Reggie Gigas. We haven't really seen that combination at all in series 10 because the Dynamics ability kind of disappearing. Other options in the team, speed control, you're looking at things like Airstream from the Zapdos. You've got Max Strike from the Reggie Gigas, but no direct speed control like Tailwind or Trick Room really in the team. Think maybe like Trick Room is really good for us. But you've got to worry about the talk call. I mean Blastoise might be a not a bad shout. To be honest, let's go to Dialga and then Grimsnell in the back and lock in and see if this is going to be good. I'm thinking maybe with time running out that Blastoise maybe if we can get a Shell Smash up and then we can Max the next turn and utilize something like Mungus with redirection to kind of start us off. Then get Grimsnell in. The problem is with Grimsnell is we can't really get the full benefit from our screen support because we lose our prankster with Weezing being on the field, you know? Kind of looking at like, it's really tricky. We have to go. We have to go Reggie powder turn one. And they just Max Strike I think. They Max Strike and probably taunt the Mungus. It's going to be very difficult. It's going to be so difficult for us to deal with. Nothing Maxing though. Turn one, which is interesting. Flame Thrower. Okay. They just want to get rid of the Mungus without Maxing. Kind of say, oh, got an icy wind. Oh, that's not good. That is not good because that gets rid of our white, our white herb. Although we do keep Mungus and we do have that redirection the next turn. So we can just go for a water spout. Although our defense is going to be absolutely on the floor. We could go for water spout. We could go for the Max, the Max move, which maybe it would be enough to get the Weezing for sure, but Weezing more likely to protect. We don't want that speed reset. So it's probably better to go a Max cannonade into Reggie Gigas with Weezing more likely to protect here. We have to rage powder. We have to rage powder because our defenses are on the floor without the white herb boost. And you would imagine probably Reggie Gigas going to be that Pokemon that wants to icy wind to get rid of the speed boost because we're plus one now after the icy wind drop. So they're probably wanting to catch us out going after Weezing, I would imagine, to remove it. So our abilities are back in effect. But we'll see. We'll soon find out as we get that rage powder off. No protects. So we should be able to remove the Gigas, which is kind of surprising that it's not Maxed yet. Wow, actually takes it. That's nuts. That is nuts. Sludge bomb coming out. We'll take this. And another icy wind. Yeah, the Gigas going for that icy wind again. Residual damage. I mean, the fact that Amungus is able to kind of hang on again is pretty big for us. Get that residual damage. And another one going to be able to get rid of the Reggie Gigas. So that's kind of alright. So we've got to target into the Weezing now, which is good. We probably want to preserve Amungus here and maybe bring in, I mean we could bring in Dialgar actually because if they sludge bomb again, it's not going to do anything. And Dialgar don't really care about the speed drop because you can't just flip the dimensions and set trick room up if you want to. I'm so surprised that the Gigas hasn't Maxed and nothing is protecting either. But they're doing a good job of kind of, okay, so we just get rid of the Weezing just like that. We've got to watch out for Southern Utilizing Gas. Okay, that helps our defense drops for sure. And another icy wind that puts Blastoise down to minus one now. So we can Max guard the next turn in trick room potentially because the Gigas is gone. Now it depends on what my opponent's last two Pokemon are, but that is one strange way of playing Reggie Gigas and Weezing. Icy wind's a nice tech on it for sure, but it's not something you see too commonly used on it, but has put us in a bit of an awkward spot I guess. The Dialgar coming in doesn't worry me too much. And Cinderace, that's what worries me more than anything because we need the trick room up really and High Jump Kick against something like I mean we could just attack with Blastoise, just that offenses are so poor. And we're only minus one I guess. Okay, so I think what we'll do is Max guard because I think at the end of the day we could try for our trick room. It's just we're going to struggle against yeah with the Moongus kind of not having that regenerator coming in either. We would get redirectioned so we could water spout, get rid of the Cinderace. We could just water spout now and just trick room. Or we could yeah G-Max kind of need in trick room I think that's what we'll do. Yeah, yeah let's do that. Because the Dialgar, is it the Dialgar? Dialgar going to Max or is it looks like the Cinderace is going to Max? Now Cinderace Max is goes for probably Airstream or Knuckle. And I don't think either are going to be enough to take down Blastoise, right? And if we get the cannonade into Cinderace then we're, well we knock it out. It's going to Max Strike, okay. Slice down again but that's kind of fine. We've got the trick room. So we're in range now for Blastoise to go down from a water spout for sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah. But we get a trick room up which is the main thing. Put the Cinderace to sleep and we can Thunderbolt into the Dialgar. Or we could Pollenpuff into Dialgar which might not be a bad idea either. But I think putting the Cinderace to sleep is probably the better option. There's not terrain on the field that we need to really worry too much about. And yeah, if we, yeah. We Thunderbolt the Dialgar, we Spore the Cinderace and if a movie goes down then that's, that's that, that's fine. And we've got to hope that there's no safety goals on the Cinderace because that would be a little bit annoying for us to deal with. No, that's good. So Cinderace to sleep. Get the Thunderbolt into Dialgar. This should do about 50%, 50%, 60%. Or actually just knock it out. Critical hit. That helps us out massively. I think we would have lost Amungus there. Dialgar would have hung on. So I think this just quickens, quickens everything up for us now because we can just Pollenpuff into Dialgar as Amungus has kind of stuck around and go for, well we can Flash Cannon here because they're still a normal type. So we'll be able to get that kind of stab. Oh, that's why you don't run Pollenpuff with Dialgar because the telepathy totally comes back and bites you in the butt. Okay, well the Liberera changing into a fighting type is good because then Grimstone comes in and we can just Spirit Break into the Cinderace. And we got enough Trick Room turns and we got redirection to kind of help us out there. Didn't realize that about telepathy. Blocking Pollenpuff. Well, there's a new one for us. It makes a lot of sense though. And of course it's got the life orb. I was a little bit unsure whether it had the life orb or not because we had the cannonade damage, the residual damage, kind of chipping in. I wasn't sure if it was that or the life orb. But with the Trick Room of Grimstone coming in, we should be, should be all right.  And that should be that. Let's just go protect a course and it will protect this turn. But a sucker punch ain't gonna save it from this position. So let's see if we are able to pick up a win in this first one. Battle Cancel. So very good game to my opponent. Interesting team. I like the concept of the team a lot. I think the team build in general is really interesting, especially the gigas and the different lines of support. You can see that the options make sense in that team. But I think we probably let off a little bit lightly from them not maxing the Regi gigas early on. But that's how it goes sometimes. But very good game to my opponent. Nice game on and we'll jump straight into game two. Okay, next up we have a solid Sun team. We got a Venusaur, a Charizard, Groudon, Porygon, two, Alola, Marowak and Umbrian. So some nice options in here. Pretty standard Sun outside of the Alola, Marowak that you don't generally see. But another kind of addition to support the Trick Room option. Probably got Lightning Road as well to support the Charizard, the GMAX Charizard against big electric sort of threats. Incineroar gonna be particularly critical for us in this one. The other option is we could go with something like Landerous here and Grimstall and then have like Incineroar on the back with the Lumberry and then Screen Support. Landerous is in really good position to kind of cut through the potential Charizard of Venusaur and Incineroar on the back. And then do we want to go Dialga in this match? Probably need Dialga like in every match possible. But it's just if that Trick Room gets set up it's going to be difficult to kind of function with Dialga in this game. Just with the Marowak it makes it difficult. And also the Umbrian as well makes it a little bit more obnoxious to deal with. But I think we'll go down this route because I feel like Landerous and Grimstall can probably do enough in the short term like the early stages of the game to kind of make it easier for Dialga to kind of clean up later. The things that we need to watch out for of course are going to be the Umbrian with that yawn. So we have to be a bit careful with when we do Dynamax especially if we see the Umbrian lead. It always makes that kind of decision a little bit harder for you I feel. So let's see. Groudon and Venusaur. So this is actually a really good lead for us to be honest because we can Max Airstream into the Venusaur turn one. We can set up a light screen as well. Or we can set up a Reflect. But we can Reflect the next turn. I don't really worry too much about the Groudon now. We've got that Intimidate onto it. And you would imagine that the Venusaur will probably want to try and go for Sleep Powder into Landeras or switch out. But you've got to still look at the options of your opponent's team you know. Have they got any Intimidate in the back? The other option what they could potentially do is switch into like P2 here which would not be ideal. But I think we've got to pull the trigger. I think we pulled the trigger straight away into the Venusaur. Although it probably does switch out. It could have Corba Berry as well. Oh they're Maxing Venusaur which is interesting. So they're probably Corba Berry. They're probably Max Oozing. It's Grimstone. Maybe we've got that special attack boost. But more likely option is the G-Max Vine Lash into Landeras or Grimstone. I mean either or. It just depends which one you want to prioritize. I mean the the bigger threat is coming from the Landeras. So you would think that's where you would want to put like you would want to target into that slot really wouldn't you. So let's see. Got to worry about the Groudon as well. We're kind of leaving it alone this turn. So it does open up opportunities where my opponent could potentially sword stance which causes a few issues. So there's a light screen. See Venusaur going to go first. G-Max Vine Lash. Here he are. Into Landeras. But by the light screen we take that pretty well. Got to deal with that residual damage to our next which is not going to be great. And there's the Corba Berry. Okay well at least we get rid of that. And even if we don't add speed at the next time we do our scary face that we can kind of fall back on. Let's see what this is. It's a crit. I thought it did a lot more damage there than it would have normally with the Berry. And there's the precipice blades. So Grimstone going to take the full force of that. But we can get the reflect up this next turn which is going to help us. And hopefully Landeras can be in a good position to be able to just kind of clear up this Venusaur. Probably do need the scary face if I'm completely honest. Into Venus but it could potentially Max Guard here as well. So like just getting the reflect up is probably the better option overall. Because I'd hate the Max Guard. I'd hate them to Max Guard. Let's go scary face into it and Max Airstream into it and then the Groudon just goes for precipice blades and then it's got access to a sword stance where later on in the game we're not going to be able to kind of mitigate that because we've got to intimidate out on the field and they can move their Grimstone so we've no longer got that reflect. Now we do see the Venusaur take down the Grimstone here. We do get the reflect. Let's see what this see what this Groudon goes for. Wouldn't surprise me if it went for a sword stance here. We do get rid of the Venusaur which is nice. So we're plus two with Landerous and that's a double crit. What's this Landerous on?  The P2 is going to be really obnoxious to deal with as well of course but okay fire punch. We still got a lumbary which comes in. Oh no no no I thought we were burnt there. Just as I said it. Do we want Incineroar coming? Probably yes because it gives us a nice wave for a potting shot. It gives us nice option for fake out as well. Not so much against the Umbran but we could double into it here and we don't necessarily need to worry that much about the Groudon because the Groudon's minus two we've got to reflect up. Really don't need to worry about it at all. I think yeah we just go flablet, sun boosted and we go Max Quake as well. Makes the most sense and just try and get rid of this Umbran. Groudon protecting here that's fine. Umbran very rarely has protect as well so you're pretty safe most of the time kind of double tapping into that slot. Is it going to be enough? Probably not. Probably not. But it does enough damage where we'll probably be able to pick it up the next turn. We still got Dialga in the back as well so let's see how much this does. Come on Inti don't let us down. Very close very close very close so I know if Quake the next turn we'll be able to get it but and we can we can't earthquake the next turn and switch into Dialga if you want. Preserve Incineroar for later on because you've got to you've got to think we've got the telepathy so we've got the ability to switch into Dialga next to um to Landerous as well which we found out from the pollen puff play from that last game. We could sword stance as well but I don't feel like we've got the kind of the room to be able to kind of sword stance. The only problem I would say we've got is if Charizard's in the back that could be a little bit of an issue but an earthquake should take down the Umbran and do a nice chunk of damage to the Groudon and if anything's going to switch out here it's going to be the Groudon. They want to reset those Intimidate drops like a hundred percent. I'm not going to see it switch though I don't think it doesn't appear so Dialga definitely doesn't want to take a Precious Blade but like I said before like Groudon's got it's minus two and we've got the reflect up so we don't need to necessarily worry about it too much. Just need to get rid of the Umbran which we do here so that's kind of job done on Landerous's kind of end of things. Precious Blade's coming out so Landerous is going to be able to avoid that. Precious Blade's coming in and Dialga taking that pretty well to be honest pretty well. Does it do damage? Can we take? Can we hang on? Oh by two we can. So it makes it a little bit more tricky in particular if we see something like Charizard coming because we have got that speed boost and we are going to be able to rock slide. Oh it's Marowak. Marowak we can double tap into. We probably want to switch into Incinero here and then go. I think we can't earthquake can we? Probably have to rock slide. The other option is it's just how can we deal with the Groudon? The Groudon's a bit obnoxious to deal with. Can Incinero deal with the Groudon by itself? Precious Blade's? I don't think so. We can probably double tap into the Marowak here like earthquake and yeah we earthquake. I think we earthquake. Think we earthquake and we earth power into the Marowak. They protect but that's all right it's all right because Groudon can only hit one thing here and we're going to get this earthquake damage off into it which is always useful. So it's not not terrible. I think they have to Precious Blade's here which will take Dialga down. Less it misses. Less it misses. Oh they rock slide. They want to prioritise getting rid of the um they want to get rid of the lander here which makes sense and but Dialga not going to really worry too much about that. We have the opportunity there to go after the Groudon which you know makes sense a lot of the time. But with Incinero coming back onto the field we can't fake out the the Marowak. We can snarl I guess just well an earth power definitely should get the Marowak. We are life-warbed. So we just fake out Groudon and earth power I think just depends how bulky this Marowak is I guess. But it'd be nice to stop the Precious Blade's this turn because then they have to yeah they go for protect okay. Less the Marowak's got like earthquake and that would not be good that would not be good but I'm kind of whole I'm kind of thinking a life-warbed earth power should be enough to get the Marowak. Yeah 100% yeah and now Dialga should out speed Groudon because it's a kind of a trick room based team so and like I said we've got reflect a hopefully a flameless or an earth power should be enough like I don't think Precious Blades takes both down might take Dialga down but it doesn't take Incinero down. Now we both survive so that's all right then it's our low rolls. The life-war recall going to take Dialga down but the earth power should be enough to take the Groudon down. So there we go two wins that wasn't that was a nice game that last one. We've had two nice games with the Dialga team today performed pretty well so what we're going to do good game to our opponent is wrap up now and remind you all of Joe or Clover Bell's rental code for this Dialga team so we'll be right back. Like friends here is today's rental code as I said a big shout out to Joe and Clover Bells for providing the rental and do definitely check out their channel down in the description their socials and their channel will be linked down below so if you do try the team out I hope you have a lot of fun with it. Dialga is an interesting pokemon in this format and it has a lot of power especially with that life orb kind of boosting its attacks in the flash cannon and the the max quake obviously from the earth power are two of the best max moves that you can have outside of probably airstream in the format so the team's got flexibility all over the shop with trick room nice beat control with the scary face as well and then the redirection and the fake out support as well to help things like Dialga and Blastoise kind of get set up and we've seen how important the landers can be in this format as well with something like the lumbering and then that screen support from Grimstone so if you do try the team out like I say I hope you have a lot of fun big shout out to Joe once again thank you so much for tuning in friends and we'll be back very soon with another episode on the channel so until then take care of yourselves and bye bye


Hello and welcome to NASA Science Live, an opportunity for you to come behind the scenes and to get to know your space agency. I'm your host, Sophia Roberts.  So visit us on Facebook or Twitter and ask us a question using that hashtag Ask NASA. Or leave a comment or question in the comment box wherever you're watching this. So here to share some of the latest updates from around the galaxy is our Cosmic News Anchor, Scott Bednar. Scott, what have you got for us? Thanks Sophia and hello everybody. I am your Cosmic News Anchor, Scott Bednar and we've got some breaking news just in. Are you good at counting rocks? Well, then you won't want to miss out on this opportunity. Just announced moments ago, NASA is inviting you to help find the perfect spot on asteroid Bennu where the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will collect a sample. But here's the problem, there's a lot of rocks. So we need your help to count, catalog and create a curated collection of rocks on the asteroid by July 10. Why? With your mad counting skills, this data will speed up the process in developing Bennu's hazard map, which will be used to select the final sample site. And then OSIRIS-REx is going to go down to Bennu, sweep up some little samples of asteroid bits and send them back to Earth. All you have to do is look at pictures of this asteroid and tell us what you see. Too long did it read? NASA is hiring rock counters for an annual salary of zero dollars. Sign up today. It's time to tighten your Van Allen belts because we're going back to the moon. And guess what Apollo, your twin sister Artemis is in town and she's here to stay. NASA's next mission to the moon with humans has officially been named Artemis after the Greek goddess of our nearest celestial neighbor. And when we land in 2024, the first woman and next man will step foot where no one has ever been before, the moon's south pole. It'll be something for everyone. Boots on the ground, flag planting contests, rock chiseling competitions, it'll be a regular romcom. Have you ever been to Mars? No? Well, here's your chance. Sort of. NASA is sending a car-sized rover to the red planet next year and your name gets to be passenger in teeny tiny letters. Submit your alias and it will be stenciled on a microchip that will travel on the rover as it makes its Martian debut. Roll a mass moot, you'll amass moot show frequent flyer miles and get a boarding pass. You can print it out in full CMKY glory, post it on social, slap it on your locker, tack it on your tack board. The possibilities are limitless. It's absolutely glorious. Well, I'm done. But that was just a taste of space. Hungry for more? There's a full-on brunch buffet at www.nasa.gov. Go feast on some science. Back to you, Sophia. Thanks, Scott. I've already got my name on it, and all of you guys should, too. Nearly a million people have already submitted their names, so go send yourself to Mars. All right, let's get on to today's topic. We're going to be talking about storms across the solar system. And we're going to start by talking about how storms form on Earth, and then we'll see the conditions that cause them to happen on other planets in a weather forecast from across the solar system. And finally, we're going to take a look at how NASA studies storms on our own planet. And you guys were even going to release a weather balloon live during this episode. So if you want to learn more about NASA's effort to study hurricanes, visit nasa.gov slash hurricanes, or visit NASA Hurricane or NASA Rain on Facebook and Twitter. So our friends over at NASA Wolves Flight Facility in Virginia help forecasters and first responders with severe storms by releasing these huge balloons every 12 hours. All right, Chelsea, can you hear me? What are you doing over there? Hey, Sophia, yes, I can hear you loud and clear. So we're here live at NASA's Wolves Flight Facility, where we're going to take you on a behind the scenes look at how weather data gets turned into the easy to read forecast that you get on your phone's weather app. So we're going to be launching a weather balloon today. So as the balloon ascends up into about 100,000 feet in altitude, it's going to be taking measurements. Here to talk to us a little bit more about that today is Adam Thomas. Hey, Adam. So what do we have going on behind us here today? Well, behind us, we have a balloon inflation shelter and Kyle Pilcher, one of our meteorological technicians, has inflated that balloon and hopefully we'll be able to release it at the end of the show today. And so what kind of data is it looking for? What do you have in your hands here? Well, I have a radio sign, which we attached to the balloon and it has all kinds of meteorological instrumentation here. Temperature sensor humidity also is GPS track. So we get wind speed and direction from this device as it ascends through the atmosphere. And so about how often does NASA launch these things? We do it twice a day here at Wallops, twice a day every day. And in some instances, we actually do it more than twice a day. If we have hurricanes, severe weather outbreaks, National Weather Service Program will ask for more balloon releases. So sometimes we have up to four balloon releases a day, especially for storms such as Maria and Florence just recently, where we had to get more data and more up-to-date data with those extra balloon releases. Wow, that's so interesting that this happens right here. Well, it sounds like we need to get this radio sound attached and we got to get this balloon up ready for flight. But in the meantime, if anybody has any questions for Adam here, be sure to send them to us on social media using hashtag Ask NASA and we'll get them answered a little bit later in the show. So we've got a balloon to set up. So Sophia, back to you. Thanks, Chelsea. I am so excited about this balloon and I'm really looking forward to it being released later on in the show. So today I have Dahlia, who is a research science scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center. And Dahlia, let's just come back down to Earth and talk about something we're a little more familiar with. How do storms form here? That's right. So tropical cyclones is actually the catch-all term. But they're called different things depending on where you live. So for example, in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific, we can see, we call them hurricanes. In the western Pacific, we call them typhoons. And in the Indian Ocean, we call them cyclones. Now, you need about three different ingredients for a storm to form. You need really warm ocean water. You need to have some pre-existing storms and then you need really humid air. So what happens when a storm forms is that humid air starts to rise. And as it rises, there's more air that comes in to fill it inside. And so we start to have warm air rising. You get a lot of convection, which causes clouds and precipitation. And that movement inward, upward, and then outward starts the storm moving. But because the storm, the earth rotates on its axis, that actually causes the storm to rotate. Like we see the eye wall and eye of a storm. And so because that strong pool of warm water is starting to fuel the storm, just like gas fuels our car, as the storm begins to develop, it starts moving faster and faster with stronger winds and more rainfall. And so what we see from space is we can get a view of how these storms are moving and changing, all depending on where the winds are blowing and how warm the surface of the ocean is. Great. Well, we already have some questions for you. So can you tell us what is the biggest hurricane we've ever seen? Well, we've had satellites and before that instruments on the ground measuring this for a long time. But the most intense storm we ever saw is Typhoon Tip, which occurred in the Philippines and it was 1,300 miles across. That's humongous. It was not only a Category 5, like we think of here, but it was a super typhoon with sustained winds of over 160 miles per hour. Oh, I know. I know, a follow-up question for that is how damaging are these storms? Well, so the damage, you know, a lot of the damage is caused by winds, which is what's happening in the eye wall of the storm. Those winds are whipping around in the middle. The eye is actually very calm. But as you get further out, the winds are important, but the rain and the rain bands around it tend to cause a lot of the flooding that we see, as well as the storm surge that pushes that water onto land when it makes landfall. And so it's important to forecast and understand how these storms move and intensify so we can really understand how they're going to impact people once they hit land. That's a lot to digest right there. And then just one very quick question, because we talked about sort of like the width maybe a little bit, but is there anything unusual about like heights or like how high up they are? Sure. So as these storms start to, this air starts to rise, we're able to see three-dimensional profiles of storms all the way up to 15 kilometers in height. That's way higher than where planes fly. And so, you know, with satellites like the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission, we can actually see three-dimensionally through the clouds all the way up in the atmosphere how the storm is distributed in terms of its heavy rainfall. And that's really important to provide clues to forecasters to understand where these storms might go and importantly, how intense they might be. All right, thanks, Delia. And we'll be getting back to you a little bit later. Great. You may have heard of Jupiter's great red spot. It's only the largest storm in the solar system, but there are actually a lot of other really unusual storms in our solar system and even beyond that. So NASA's chief scientist, Jim Green, is going to take us on a tour of some of these storms in our cosmic neighborhood. So let's find out. What is happening over at Jim, or, sorry. What's happening over on Venus, Jim? You know what? I can actually tell you something that's happening on Saturn right now as we wait for Jim. So one of the exciting things that we can do with the Cassini spacecraft is we are actually able to see lightning and even hear it on the surface of Saturn. And so the way that we can do that is we actually see the visible light at night and the storm, it's called the great white spot, sort of like the great red spot, is actually so wide, it's almost as large as Earth, 6,200 miles across. But what's unique about these big gas giants relative to Earth is that on Earth, we have warm water heated from the sun that causes and fuels these storms like heat engines. But on these big gas giants, we actually think that the internal heat is fueling these storms themselves. Like from their core? Well, just from the heat from when they were born. And so we're still learning a lot more and some of NASA's missions that are flying right now as well as an orbit are gonna tell us more about how these storms form, not just on our planet, but all over the galaxy. All right, here's another question from Facebook. And Krista is asking you, what is it like to work for NASA? You know, it's one of my favorite questions because we work with amazing scientists and engineers every day. And so one of the really exciting things about working at NASA is we have lots of exciting satellite images and information that brings us to model these phenomena on Earth. So what I do is I actually use satellite data from NASA and our partners to model landslides and other natural disasters on Earth. And these provide important information to emergency responders and other groups that are helping to understand, mitigate, and ultimately recover and build resilience for these types of disasters. And so it's been really exciting and I think important to note that all of NASA data is free and open to the public. And that provides an important set of information for us to really understand and move forward with contributing to understanding disasters around the world. I mean, it's really wonderful that this data, which is created for the public is available just absolutely publicly. That's right. And I think another really important thing is that we work very closely with our partners. And so we work with groups like NOAA, which provides operational forecasting for National Hurricane Center, for example, or the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, or the Air Force, all of whom provide operational forecasts. And so by being able to have information like this hurricane here, where we can really understand layer by layer through the storms, how and why these storms are developing. So I know this is kind of a fun tool, but what it really is showing is the three-dimensional profiles of these storms. So the colors below show rainfall, but at the top we can actually see snow at the top of this hurricane, the first time we've ever been able to do that. So information like this is really important to bring into forecast models and help us to better predict the trajectory, the intensity, and the impacts that these storms might have later on. But we can't do it alone and our partners are critical in advancing our understanding. Right, thanks, Delia. And it looks like our Chief Scientist, Jim Green, is now available to give us our weather forecast. So Jim, what's happening on Venus right now? Thanks, Sophia. I'm dying to tell everybody about some of the weather in our solar system, and it can be extremes. Let's start with the inner planet, Venus. Now Venus, beautiful set of clouds. We cannot see the ground because the clouds are so dense and they're moving rapidly around the planet. In some cases, there are more than 225 miles per hour. These are really rapidly moving around the planet. But what about the surface? Let's go down to the surface. Here we see the global surface of Venus where the reds are the highs and the blues are the lows. And so you can see huge variations in altitude. But one thing to remember is the temperature on the surface of Venus is nearly the same everywhere on the near side, but also on the far side. So both the night and the day side. And that weather can be extreme. We're looking for lightning. We haven't seen lightning on this planet yet, but the temperatures are enormously hot.  In addition to that, the pressure is enormous. 90 times our own pressure. Well, let's move further out in the solar system. Let's take a look at the weather on Mars. Mars is this beautiful red planet. We hardly see any clouds. We can actually look through the atmosphere of Mars right down to the surface. But what is the surface weather like on Mars? Now everybody is seeing the movies and then the movies like the Martian. You see the huge dust storms, the extremes that they thought Mars was like, but it's not like that at all. The dust is really wispy. It's really high in the atmosphere. And here you see a before and after global dust storm occurring on Mars last year. And it lasted for about three months. And when that dust settled out and fell onto the ground, it coated many of the surfaces. We now have observed another spectacular phenomenon on Mars and that's these dust devils. These dust devils swirl around atmosphere. These are spectacular atmospheric phenomena that we had to get down onto the surface and really experience before we could believe it. Well, our lander inside actually has a weather capability. It has a weather system that measures the temperature and pressure on the surface of Mars. And that variation in one day can be more than 175 degrees. It's a huge variation, but it's mostly below zero. In fact, the average temperature on Mars is about 85 degrees below zero. So bring your weather coat. It's really cold on Mars. Well, as we go further out in the solar system, let's look at the weather on this planet, Neptune. Neptune, which is in the outer part of our solar system is what we call an ice giant. It's a fabulously beautiful planet, 10 times the mass of our Earth. And when the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune in the late 80s, it saw this beautiful dark spot. But that spot faded away over the years, but just recently a new one has appeared. That one has appeared in the Northern Hemisphere and you can see it in the top part of the Hubble observation in 2018. Now, this is a spectacular hurricane. This dark spot has winds that are more than 600 miles per hour. And around it, the clouds are moving more than 1,300 miles per hour. Wow, the most brisk winds in the solar system are on Neptune. Well, what is it like here on Earth? Sophia, let's talk about hurricanes on Earth. All right, thanks, Jim. And I think our friends over at Wallops are ready to release their weather balloon. So Chelsea, how is it going over there? Hey, Sophia, and welcome back to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. So it seems like we've got our radiosonde attached. We've got our balloon fully inflated and it's just over here ready for flight. But before that, can you tell us a little bit more about what we're about to witness today? Well, we've got a beautiful day for a balloon release here at Wallops. We're gonna see the balloon release here in just a minute or so. And as it ascends into the atmosphere, we're gonna see it go through the troposphere and then eventually into the stratosphere before it reaches about 100,000 feet or so. And that's where we'll see it pop and we'll start to see it come back down. But we're gonna get a lot of data from that so it should be very interesting. And so other than sending this information to the National Weather Service, what else is this data used for? Well, here at Wallops we do a lot of orbital and suborbital launches that require us to do balloon releases during the countdown. That provides a safety group here with a lot of information, a lot of meteorological data is given to them during these releases. So we'll do about one balloon an hour during the countdown and then as we get closer to T minus zero will actually go to about every half an hour. So they have a lot of information to determine if we are go or no go for launch. Wow, so how many launches does that end up being altogether for a launch? Generally we can do as many as 10 or 15. I think with the last resupply mission to the space station, we actually did 15 balloon releases throughout the countdown. So the meteorological technicians are very busy. Well, hey, speaking of launches, are we about ready for this countdown? I think so, let's get to it. All right, is everybody ready? Let's get going. Five, four, three, two, one. There it goes. So as this balloon ascends, what does the data look like as it comes back to you? Well, the first data that we get back in the weather office is in the form of what we call a skew-T diagram, which provides us with a lot of temperature and dew point information up through the profile, also a wind speed and wind direction. And we look at that diagram to get basically an overall assessment of the atmosphere. So if it's a stable atmosphere like today or sometimes we have an unstable atmosphere where we can have thunderstorm activity, it's a very important part of our diagnostics that we do for weather forecasting. Well, it seems like we're almost ready to take NASA social questions, but before that, I have a quick question for you. So it seems like this is a ton of data that we're getting back. But does this paint the full picture for weather? Not entirely, we do have this radio sign information going into the computer models, but this is all sent to the National Center for Environmental Prediction with NOAA. In addition to that, we have NASA satellites, we also have NOAA satellites, whether it goes and pose satellites. We also have surface observations, radar data that are all included with that data set. So it's a big collaboration of data, but the balloon is really our highest resolution data that we get. It gives us data back here at Wallops every second as it's ascending into the atmosphere. Wow, thank you for answering all of the questions that I had. But I think it's about time that we take some audience questions here. I wanted to remind everybody that if anyone has any questions for Adam, to send them over to us on social media using hashtag asknasa. Let's take a look at what we have here. So it looks like our first question is from Twitter and who wants to know how big is the balloon? Well, as you could see when we just released it, it's about six feet in diameter. But the interesting part is when it goes up into the atmosphere, the pressure drops. So the balloon actually expands as it goes up in height. So on a successful launch, if we get it up to about 100,000 feet, the balloon will expand to about 20 to 25 feet in diameter or as big as a small building in some cases before it pops. So it gets very large as it ascends in the atmosphere. Oh wow, that's really cool. So we've got another one here from Facebook from a Facebook user, Katie, who wants to know, do balloons take off in other places? Yes, actually, we're one of about 92 sites in the United States that have a balloon program with the National Weather Service. So we do two balloon releases a day, but here at Wallops. But in other sites, they also do two a day to really have a full scope of data coming from the entire country. And throughout the world, we have many, many balloon releases as well. So it's very important data that gets fed into our computer models that we as forecasters use every day. Okay, we've got some good ones coming in here from Twitter. How much mass can a balloon carry? Well, it doesn't need to carry much. That radio sounds very light. So as it goes into the atmosphere, it ascends and brings that instrument into the atmosphere, into the stratosphere actually, to about 100,000 feet. So it really doesn't have much weight hanging from the balloon. Very cool. So we've got another one here that asks, can we see whether balloons from space or from airplanes? You can see them from airplanes, but one thing that we definitely want to make sure of when we do release these balloons is to get clearance to release the balloons. We don't want airplanes flying by as we release those balloons. We do not want them going in through the engines of these airplanes. So definitely want those cleared out of the way. You can see them from an airplane, but they know when we're releasing balloons that they don't run into one of them as they're ascending into the atmosphere. So it's not very likely that we'll ever see one looking out the windows of our airplane? Not very likely, not very likely. If so, it'll be at a distance. So another person wanted to know how high the balloon travel and where does it collect the data? So about 100,000 feet is generally where we are satisfied with the balloon. We have gotten balloons as high as 115, 120,000 feet. The requirement is about the 400 millibar level.  So that's the level that they needed to get to in order to be successful. That's really cool. Well, thank you, Adam, for joining us and answering all the questions that we had online. I think that's just about all the time that we had. We hope you enjoyed seeing our balloon. We're gonna be doing it again this evening, right? That's right, yeah. All right, well, thank you so much for joining us here at Wallops. Back to you, Sophia. Thank you so much, Chelsea. It was really cool to see the balloon being released. But we're also here back with Dahlia. So we just go back to some earthstorm stuff. So can you tell us how we study storms with NASA? Sure, so NASA and our partners, we have a lot of different assets that are allowing us to look at storms both in the tropics and up to the poles. We have satellites like the NOAA NASA ghost satellites. That's at 22,000 miles up and take a view of the earth all at the same time, being able to look at the top of the clouds and the temperature. Further down, we can start to look at how the storms are distributed. We talked about GPM a little earlier in the show, but we have other satellites like the Cygnus constellation, which is super cool. So we can look at global precipitation using GPM and other products that tells us about not only rain in the tropics, but all the way up to the poles. And satellites like Cygnus have a constellation that actually uses GPS signals bouncing off the surface of the ocean to tell us about wind speeds in these storms. Wow. And I'd also mentioned earlier, but the data is helping first responders. So can you also talk a little bit about that? That's right. So being able to understand the impacts of these storms, the first and the most important thing is about forecasting them, right? So NASA provides research and with our partners at NOAA and other centers, we can provide accurate forecaster. They can provide forecasts of where storms are going. But there's other satellites up there and airborne information that can provide us about how these storms may impact people. For example, we can look at how vegetation changes as a storm passes over. So this is an example of we can see before and after Hurricane Maria moved over Barbuda. And you can see literally that all of the, and the Virgin Islands, that all of the leaves on the trees in these areas were completely blown off. And that affects ecosystems and it affects the recovery of an area. Another example of how we can understand impacts is looking at rainfall accumulation. So we talked about how the rain bands in these storms can cause a vast amount of rainfall. Hurricane Harvey, for example, costs over 40 inches of rain to fall over, over the Houston, over the Texas area. And that inland flooding is critical for groups to understand like FEMA to provide information and help when these storms pass. And also we can look at how humans are impacted looking at things like power outages. So from the SUNY NPP mission, we can, this is an example of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria went over the island. And you can just see how the power has changed in terms of loss of power. And then we can look at satellites to see how power has been restored across the island. Really important signatures for how and how we can help in the recovery effort. Yeah, that's really great that we were able to like provide that information to those really useful things. So what other storms I'm getting here does NASA study other than hurricanes? So as we remember we said, so hurricanes and tropical cyclones really occur in the tropics to mid-latitudes. But we also have satellites that can go all the way up to the poles or the Arctic and Antarctic Circle to look at how these storms change from tropical to extra tropical systems. And that's really important for us to understand things like light rainfall and snow and ice.  And by being able to work with our partners and have NASA satellites and airborne assets to understand these storms, we're able to look at everything from the tropics to the poles. All right, and one really quick question for you. What is your favorite thing about working here? You know, I love that we are able to work together every day. And you know, I like that we're looking towards what's happened in the past using satellite data to understand and model the past. Well, we can also look at what's happening in the future. And so understanding how climate change impacts our earth system is of critical importance. Well, thank you so much for joining us, Dahlia. Thank you so much. Yeah, and that is all the time we have for today. But if you wanna learn more, visit nasa.gov slash hurricane or visit NASA hurricane or NASA rain on Facebook and Twitter. And be sure to tune in next month. On June 26th, we're gonna be talking about space rocks. We're gonna discuss how NASA detects and tracks asteroids and visit a dart spacecraft being built and even more. So please tune in in June.


Welcome back to run it back before we get to shams and the Hawks Chandler did you just turn into a hot LA girl with your Aero on smoothie posts? I just want to make sure I know what's going on so people can follow you The whole combo all right shops are I'm so sorry. That's Chandler's just being ridiculous We had some news it happened so fast didn't it out in Atlanta, but things are official now Yeah, Quinn Snyder is signing a five-year deal to become the new Hawks head coach I'm told the deals in the neighborhood of 40 million dollars. So this is their guy now He's their franchise cornerstone when you think about the coach of the future He's their franchise piece now the guy that they're going to rely on to bring the culture Bring the accountability for the organization and when you look at Trey young and Quinn Snyder Very curious to see how this superstar coach superstar player partnership evolves I'm told Don Raimichael had a conversation with Trey young over the weekend and told Trey You will love Quinn because he's gonna push you and you'll want to fight for him And so the reality is in Atlanta is that there's not any excuses anymore. Trey young Realistically has these next couple of months To show some buy-in with Quinn Snyder with this new regime that's going to be coming in now with Quinn Snyder Being at the helm He has to prove that he can buy in and and if he doesn't and if they're not able to figure out some cohesiveness Between the two parties and Snyder and young the Hawks are going to have some very serious decisions to make with young And the roster of this team comes summertime But Chandler, you were there in Atlanta. You were around Trey young and Lloyd Pierce. This is now the third coach for Trey young there What do you make of the hire of Quinn Snyder in that relationship and the pressure that's going to be on that relationship moving forward Well, I love the hire. I think Quinn Snyder was one of the best coaches in the league I don't know why he ever left Utah they you know, they were a top team in their division whatever He's an offensive genius. Trey young loves to play offense and listen. Trey young is not a bad guy He's got this rep now being this coach killer and this He he just came to the league as a young score where he was a point guard and I think he's I think he's misunderstood a little bit He's not a bad dude. I actually spent a lot of time with Trey when I was there in Atlanta He means well, I think I said one time he just the minute he Matures a little bit and kind of gets more vet players around him He was drafted to the situation where he was the best player on day one He never really had any real vets me and Evan Turner were his vets the year I was there And we hung with him the most and he's a funny outgoing dude that works extremely hard He wants to win and he was in a real tricky situation with Lloyd Pierce because I gotta be honest with you I get along with everybody. I'm a very personal guy. I couldn't stand that guy either So like I don't blame Trey young on on the Lloyd Pierce firing at all the Nate McMillan thing I wasn't there. I don't know about but when Snyder from everything I've heard. He's a cool dude He's a he's a brilliant mind offensively, which I think Trey obviously excels with He's gonna know how to groom these young players like Deandre Hunter like Dijonte Murray like John Collins He's got a talented team here where they can win in the next few years and and I think Trey knows now too like Five years 40 million dollars. This dude ain't going anywhere So whether you like it or not, he's gonna have to have a relationship with them And he's gonna at least fake it till you make it but Trey is not that type of dude.  He's he's very coachable. He just kind of has this rep now for whatever reason But I think when Snyder is the perfect guy for him. He knows how to get the best out of players He's going to push Trey young, but he's also gonna I think Trey's gonna excel at his offense and where he puts them on the floor So I think it works for both and I think it should be great Yeah, I think it's a good parent and something yeah, I think it's a good parent It's something Trey young should be excited about I know Some of the whispers coming out of Atlanta was that just wasn't his choice of coach But it's not really his choice to make anymore either They're clearly heavily invested into Quinn Snyder as a future of this team Landry fields now as their gm They've had a complete overhaul and so you got to wonder are they sitting there saying hey Is he tradable if he's not on board? Do we get as many assets as we can this summer? Next summer soon whenever To try to stock up our coffers for going forward We've seen kind of the the hall you can get for this type of player We watch what Donovan Mitchell got traded for You know the kevin de randio is probably above him But you're due to imagine you're getting some stock some draft stock back and Ideally a player that we can start and hopefully make an all-star game with going forward Now I don't know what that trade is and if that exists out there right now But we've watched a couple teams pile up with draft picks the jazz the the Nets the thunder teams are getting ready for that next disgruntled superstar And it might be the hawks they jump in front of him and say hey, you're not on board You're the next disgruntled superstar But I think it's a great spot for tray young if he locks in all the reasons Chandler means he's a great offensive coach Look at what he did with Donovan Mitchell in Utah We've seen tray young go to the conference finals before as the hub of an offense He can do it again, but they're just going to need to lock in They're going to need to load up a little bit more on wing depth going forward with those two teams They got to deal with out there But there's a lots of like here going forward. So if tray young's on board I think he's going to be a part of their future But if he's not We could just as easily see the hawks say all right and then and and a cut bait now while they can And trey's a smart guy, right?  All right shams. Thank you as always. We shall see you Tomorrow morning. We'll take a quick break here. We come back. Jalen brown says that 76ers fans were hella disrespectful When we come back, Chandler will tell us about his own experiences with the root fans Although he probably deserved it


Robert Silman's exemplary endeavors in historic preservation engineering have given new life to hundreds of significant buildings. But even more than his work, his humanistic approach has helped the public better appreciate the importance of technology in preserving our heritage. Mr. Silman's career, starting with the founding of his structural engineering firm in 1966, mirrors the rise of the historic preservation movement in the United States. At that time, there was little to no formal academic training in the art and science of preservation. Until only a few years ago, in fact, engineers still had to follow the route taken by Mr. Silman, learn preservation engineering on the job. Mr. Silman has worked on more than 450 registered individual landmarks and scores of others in landmark districts or on eligibility lists. Among these is Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, where Mr. Silman employed an ingenious modern technology, post-tensioning, to reverse dangerously high stresses in the concrete cantilevers. Mr. Silman has also worked on historic museums, historic state capital buildings, nationally significant homes and sites, public buildings, performing art spaces, historic religious buildings. No place is too small or humble for him to rehabilitate and reuse. The U.S. Secretary of the Interior appointed Mr. Silman to the advisory board for the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training, for which he has passed chairman, representing the fields of engineering and preservation education. In the meantime, many local, national and international organizations have recognized Mr. Silman's achievements. Of note, in 2013, Mr. Silman received the Association for Preservation Technology International's Harley J. McKee Award for his outstanding contributions to the field, helping to fill the educational gap he once faced. Mr. Silman is taught as an adjunct professor or lecturer in schools of architecture at Yale, Columbia, the City College of New York, Cornell, and Harvard. The National Trust for Historic Preservation's relationship with Mr. Silman is a deep and productive one. Under his leadership, his firm has worked on numerous national trust properties, including a current project to mitigate damage at the Farnsworth House. Moreover, Mr. Silman has participated and partnered with the trust on a number of initiatives to further the study and practice of historic preservation in engineering. In particular, Robert Silman Associates has partnered with the National Trust since 1997 to sponsor a fellowship that gives a recent engineering graduate the opportunity to work on restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation projects at the National Trust's 27 sites nationwide. Fellows are then offered a full-time position at the firm, where they can put their valuable lessons to full use. Mr. Silman is the first technologist to receive the Crown and Shield Award, a milestone that recognizes the vital role of engineering in preserving the built environment. He represents more than just numbers, however, his passion is infectious as well. Mr. Silman's expertise, influence, and devotion to the cause exemplify the tenets of the Crown and Shield Award, and we are thrilled to honor him today.
