With the set of integers in hand, we can define the four basic arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We can define addition as an exercise in counting. A plus B means start with the number specified by the first term, A, and count the number specified by the second term, B. In this example, we start with A at 11 and count seven more for B. Zero is the additive identity in that adding zero to any number gives you the same number you started with. Subtraction would then be start with the first term and count backwards the number specified by the second term. Here we are counting seven times back from 11. This addition and subtraction are tied directly to counting and counting has been shown to accurately represent anything you can count. We can also define multiplication in terms of addition, which is based on counting. A times B says add the number A to itself, B times. Here we are starting with three and adding it to itself five times. Counting it one time leaves it unchanged. Thus the number one is the multiplicative identity, like zero was the additive identity. But what does it mean to add a number to itself zero times? To deal with this, we define a number being added to itself zero times to be the number zero. We define division as the inverse of multiplication. In the division of one number, say A, by another number, say B, we are asking how many times can we subtract B from A? Or more generally, what number, when multiplied by B, gives us A? For example, we would ask how many times can we subtract three from fifteen and the answer is five.


The next item of business is consideration of business motion 8858, in the name of Joe Fitzpatrick, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a revised business programme for today. I would ask any member who wishes to speak against the motion to press their request to sweet buttons now, and I call on Joe Fitzpatrick to move motion 8858. Formally moved. Thank you very much. No member has asked to speak against the motion. The question is that motion 8858 be agreed, are we agreed? We are agreed. Now that the motion has been agreed, the nomination period for election of a member for appointment to the Parliament's corporate body is now open. Members may have received an email, but if you wish to get further information, you can seek it from the parliamentary business team. Nominations should be submitted to the parliamentary business team by 4.30pm, and the election will take place just before decision time today. The next item of business is topical questions, and we start with question number one from David Torrance. Thank you, Presiding Officer. To ask the Scottish Government what support is given to burnt island fabrications to secure jobs in Fife and in Luz? Cabinet Secretary Keith Brown, discussions are on going with the Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise and the company, and this Government is fully exploring all the options available to save the company and the jobs that depend on it. When ministers became aware of the situation, we immediately engaged with all the relevant stakeholders. The Minister for Energy had a conversation with the management team at BiFab to get a detailed insight into the challenges. He also had detailed discussions with shareholders of the Beatrice project to ascertain more details and also discussed the issues directly with CWA heavy lifting, the main contractor for the Beatrice project. He and I have both been involved in discussions today with those parties. The Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise are continuing those discussions, and we are encouraging all parties to work constructively to find a solution. I have also spoken directly with the trade unions and conveyed that we will do everything possible to support the workforce. I really appreciate that this is a very concerning time for the workforce, but this Government is committed to doing everything that we can to find a positive solution to this situation. We want to see a solution at BiFab and ensure that Scottish engineering and manufacturing are central to the supply chain for the renewable energy sector and for oil and gas going forward. I thank the cabinet secretary for her answer. Following the announcement yesterday from the GMB and UNITE members regarding the planned working, I think that it is clear that the workforce at BiFab are serious about planar part and the company's survival and future success. Does the cabinet secretary agree that the Scottish Government owes it to those workers to leave no stone unturned in finding a solution? I do agree that that is an obligation on the Scottish Government. Of course, we are not directly involved in this. This is a contract between private companies and the issues that have arisen have been between those private companies. However, just for the reasons that David Torrance has mentioned, of course, we are very interested and want to do what we can to try to help to achieve a solution. At Root, of course, it is the future of 600 people directly employed up to 1400 people in general, including contractors and subcontractors. That has a huge impact on the areas that David Torrance has mentioned, both in Fife and in the Western Isles. Of course, we are interested to make sure that, for the benefit of those individuals, for the benefit of the contract for the renewables sector and for the Scottish economy to do whatever we can to try to help the situation. David Torrance I thank the cabinet secretary for her answer. More generally, BiFab plays a role in Scotland's green re-industrialisation. To maximise Scotland's renewable potential, create jobs and grow our economy. We need to engineer skills and fabrication capacity that BiFab has at its sites in Burntisland, Meffo and Arnish. What priority does the Scottish Government give to placing and securing the future of BiFab in terms of the importance of Scotland's wider economy and the long-term future of renewable energy? As I have said, it is my firm belief that Scottish engineering and manufacturing are central to the supply chain for the renewable energy sector, but also for oil and gas going forward, with several billions of pounds being invested in offshore wind and the potential for more investment in our offshore oil and gas sector. The Government believes that the Scottish supply chain should be well placed to take full advantage of those opportunities. There are five supplementaries, so depending on whether we can get through them all, I will start with Alexander Stewart. The report says that delays in payments have contributed to BiFab's cash-full problems. Considering that Scotland has the highest level of late payments of any part of the United Kingdom, with reports that 67 per cent of companies are effective, what action is the Scottish Government taking to solve the on-going and severe problem that BiFab and others face? Just to repeat for the benefit of Alexander Stewart, those are private companies involved in the contract. The Scottish Government, for our part, has taken action to make sure that we pay all our suppliers promptly. Also through the business pledge, we ensure that, as many companies as possible, the last count over 400 also follow best practice in relation to that. I do not think that delays in payment are at the root of the problem. Payments certainly are, and making sure that payments are made as they become due is an important part of that process. I do not think that there is much value in going into more of the detail, given the discussions that we currently have with the private companies involved. Alexander Stewart, as a regional member for the area, will want to be assured that the Scottish Government is doing what we can to try and make sure that we have a solution to that situation. At the base of that is, of course, the future of 1,400 people during a very difficult time of the year and a very important contract, and, of course, the reputation of the renewable sector in Scotland going forward. We are well aware of the challenges that are here. It would be useful to have the general support of other parties in relation to that, and I think that that would help us to carry as much weight as possible into those discussions. Rhoda Grant Arnish in the Western Isles employs over 150 people in BiFab, and that is a disproportionately large impact on the local economy. Those jobs are one of the biggest private sector employers in the area. He talked about the Scottish Government working with Scottish Enterprise, but he never mentioned Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and I wonder what role it will have in working alongside the workers in Arnish and, indeed, the trade unions to make sure that reassurance is given to the workforce and alternative jobs, if those jobs cannot be saved, will be found. Just to reassure the member that Highlands Enterprise has been kept fully engaged in the process and, of course, has a direct interest in the site in the Western Isles being the owners of that site. I think that I would just make the point that we want to use anybody's good offices to try to achieve the right solution here. As I said, Highlands Enterprise has been involved in the process and kept engaged as well, but we want to try to use anybody's good offices. The point that Rhoda Grant Arnish has made is a very important one. The impact on the Western Isles of 100 jobs is huge. It is no small matter that 1,300 other jobs elsewhere in Scotland could also be jeopardised by that. We are well aware of the potential damage that can be done not just to individuals but to the economy. Whether it is Highlands Enterprise or any of the other parties—indeed, the UK Government has a role in that as well. I am not going into the details of that, but it has a very direct role as well. We want to work with all parties. We are not being precious about this or trying to keep this to ourselves. We want to get the right solution and are happy to work with anybody and make use of all the assets that we have to get that solution. Mark Ruskell Thank you. Given the statement from the Dutch contract to Seaway heavy lifting that it is and I am keen to support Bifab's workforce, can I ask the minister what his understanding is of that offer? If he plans to speak to his counterpart in the Government of the Netherlands. We have engaged with the company mentioned by Mark Ruskell and are looking to engage further with that company. It is central to the contract itself. There has been some movement in the willingness of different partners to try to come to a solution that will keep Bifab going through the contract and achieve that contract, but there is still some way to go. We have not had discussions and do not currently plan to have discussions with the Government of the Netherlands. We are discussing with the appropriate party in this case, which is Seaway heavy lifting. If there was a rationale or a purpose behind contacting the Dutch Government that Mark Ruskell is aware of, I would be keen to hear exactly what that is in all sincerity so that we can take advantage of any opportunities. In the meantime, we will continue to discuss it with the parties most closely involved. The cabinet secretary will be aware that potential job losses at Bifab are not the first time in recent months and years that leaving mouth has been devastated by unemployment. Today, across my constituency and my colleague David Torrance's, one in three children live in poverty. What consideration has been given to establishing a group or a task force in light of the Bifab situation, and whether he will meet with himself and fellow Fife MSPs to discuss urgent proposals to support the local economy? First of all, Jenny, Garuth makes a very good point about keeping members MSPs and MPs aware. Paul Wheelhouse has been involved with this for some time. We are very willing to meet those members to keep them updated. As far as we are able to do that, some of the discussions, as can be imagined, are commercially confidential, but we can pass on information and the current state of discussions. We are happy to do that. I will ensure that that happens in relation to both Jenny Garuth and other members with an interest in the area. On the point that has been made about a task force, we have assembled the people who are necessary to do that. Of course, we have had task forces in the past. At this stage, our focus is on making sure that the company stays viable and that the jobs stay in place. We have all the resources and the different parties available to do that, but we will keep that under review. To confirm to Jenny Garuth that we are well aware of the points that she makes, there are pertinent points about the level of unemployment in Fife, and her partner Fife in particular is very aware of that. That is another reason why we want to pull out all the stops to try to ensure that those jobs stay where they are and that the contract is completed. This is an extremely worrying time for the workforce and the local community, and there has been conflicting speculation in the press that the root of the problem at BiFab is a dispute over delayed payments between the company and Seaway heavy lifting. Although the cabinet secretary says that he does not believe that that is at the root of the problem, does he recognise that delayed payments are an issue here? If so, can he confirm the value of the payments that have been requested of Seaway by BiFab, the value of the work that has been certified and the value that has been paid to BiFab, either in the chamber today or perhaps in confidence to MSPs? Until we have clarity over the financial picture, we and most importantly all the workers at BiFab are in the dark over how that issue can be resolved. I give the assurance to Clare Baker that we will seek to pass on as much information, especially in terms of the amounts involved. As we are able to do, I would rather check and make sure that we are doing that in a way that is consistent with our obligations to the private sector partners that we are discussing this with. In relation to delayed payments, it is not so much delayed payments, but disputed payments, which may of course lead to delay in a payment being made. That would be the nature of a dispute. That is more in the character of the issue that we are looking at than necessarily a delayed payment of the relationship between the two. It is trying to get to the bottom of that issue and the number of other issues such that we can ensure that there is a cash flow available to BiFab to keep things going in the meantime in terms of paying the staff, which is crucial. I can just say how much we appreciate the activities of the trade unions in continuing to work in the yards under this, as Clare Baker says, a very distressing time for them. We have to have an obligation to try to work with the private sector partners. There is a position of trust there in relation to some of the figures that are passed on to us, but I undertake to pass on whatever figures we are able to to both Clare Baker and other MSPs with an interest. To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the reported criticism of the Scottish Police Authority by some members of its board. The report that was published yesterday relates to the early years of the authorities' existence. A range of measures have been taken to learn from experience and strengthen governance arrangements since that time. In order to address a number of remaining issues identified by HMICS earlier this year, I commissioned a review of the executive functions to ensure that the board is getting the support that it needs to perform its role effectively. The review is expected to report in the coming weeks. Margaret Mitchell Thank you, cabinet secretary, for that response. In the Scottish Institute for Placing Research Report, one former SPA board member states that, every time we try to bite, the Government removes the tooth. I have been absolutely shocked at the level of Government interaction. Will the cabinet secretary comment on that quote? Given that Scottish ministers have formal powers to give directions to the SPA, so long as those directions are not related to police operations, will he confirm if he or any other Scottish ministers have ever used those powers? If so, when and under what circumstances? Michael Matheson On the former point, which the member made reference to, although ministers have power of direction over the SPA, it is not a power that I have exercised. I do not think that it was a power that was exercised by my predecessor. In relation to the idea that Scottish ministers are in some way interfering with the role of the SPA, that is one that I strongly refute. However, the member is not satisfied with my own response to that. He only has to look at the evidence that was provided to the Public Audit Committee by HMICS Derek Penman when he said that he found no evidence of Scottish Government interference in the setting of agendas or submissions of papers. However, as a Government that is responsible for serving the national strategic policing authorities overall objectives, we clearly have on-going engagement with the SPA in a regular basis in areas of shared interest. However, as HMICS has already identified, it has found no evidence to support the suggestion of Government interference. Margaret Mitchell When the 2012 act was passed, concerns were raised from all the opposition parties about too much ministerial influence. Those concerns fell in deaf ears. Whilst the SPA chair appointment process has been modified for the current selection process to include the convener of the police sub-committee, the cabinet secretary still retains major influence in that appointment. Will he now confirm that the Government will revisit the 2012 act and amend it to ensure that Parliament as a whole selects and crucially is involved in the decision as to whether to reappoint the SPA chair and that the discretion for ministers to intervene will be transparent? In that way, the new SPA chair will at least have the comfort of knowing that he or she does not have to rely on the good grace of the cabinet secretary for continuation of their appointment. Mary Fee If we have no plans to revisit the legislation. Mary Fee Media focus and attention on the SPA board has been an on-going issue and detracts from the work that the board does. What steps will the cabinet secretary take in conjunction with the board to ensure that all board members have proper training and fully understand not only their individual roles but also their collective responsibilities? In relation to governance, will the cabinet secretary ensure that the clear dividing line between the scrutiny role of the board and Government oversight is fully understood by all parties? Michael Matheson The member raises an important issue because there is an issue about making sure that those who join public boards have the necessary training and support in order to undertake their duties effectively. As a Government, we are keen to make sure that that is happening effectively. That is why in September last year the Scottish Government implemented a new corporate induction programme for all new board members and went on to public boards to ensure that they have the necessary training and support to assist them in undertaking their role and also ensuring that they have a proper understanding of the on-board guidance that is issued to them and how they should interpret that guidance as well. I can also assure the member that the work that I instructed through Nicola Merchant, the deputy chair of the SPA, along with Malcolm Burr, is to look at the overall support function that has been provided to the SPA board to identify whether there are further measures that can be put in place to help to support the board members in their role. That is not just about the board and themselves making sure that they are getting the right information, but it is also about making sure that Police Scotland is providing them with information that the board requires in order to hold Police Scotland to account and to scrutinise the actions of the Police Service and, in particular, its executive team. I am very much committed to making sure that board members get the training and support that they require and that the work that is being taken forward by Malcolm Burr and Nicola Merchant is precisely there to help to support the board in discharging its responsibilities and identifying what further supports are necessary to make sure that they can do that effectively moving forward. That concludes topical questions. I apologise to members for not getting in.


Good morning friends, I am Poorwa and today I will help you with the following question which of the following differential equations has y is equal to c1 into e raised to the power x plus c2 into e raised to the power minus x as the general solution a d square y by dx square plus y is equal to 0 b d square y by dx square minus y is equal to 0 c d square y by dx square plus 1 is equal to 0 d d square y by dx square minus 1 is equal to 0 Let us now begin with this solution So here we are given that y is equal to c1 into e raised to the power x plus c2 into e raised to the power minus x and Let us mark this as equation 1 Now we shall form a differential equation whose solution is equation 1 by Differentiating it two times as it contains two arbitrary constants c1 and c2 So differentiating one with respect to x we get differentiating y gives dy by dx is equal to differentiating c1 into e raised to the power x gives c1 into e raised to the power x and differentiating c2 into e raised to the power minus x gives minus c2 into e raised to the power minus x and let us mark this as equation 2 Now we differentiate equation 2 with respect to x so differentiating 2 with respect to x we get differentiating dy by dx we get d square y by dx square is equal to differentiating c1 into e raised to the power x we get c1 into e raised to the power x minus differentiating c2 into e raised to the power minus x we get minus c2 into e raised to the power minus x We can write this as this implies d square y by dx square is Equal to c1 into e raised to the power x now minus into minus will become plus so plus c2 into e raised to the power minus x this implies d square y by dx square is Equal to now by equation 1 we have y is equal to c1 into e raised to the power x plus c2 into e raised to the power minus x so we get d square y by dx square is equal to y and this is by equation 1 and this implies d square y by dx square minus y is equal to 0 and this is same as equation b so we get hence equation b is the required differential equation Thus, we write our answer as b. Hope you have understood the solution. Bye and take care


When the narcissist realises they played themselves The narcissist had a good thing with you Their life was very convenient It fitted in well with their needs activities and plans It involved little trouble and effort and initially they were quite happy with the situation That's why they targeted you in the first place Because you had everything they wanted You were what they were looking for Narcissists typically look for superficial things They want people who are attractive People who have money power or success People who everyone else desires and wants and when they were with you They felt like they had that But as time went by They started to compare themselves to you They started to feel inferior to you Which made them very competitive It made them challenge you It made them desire to be more successful than you and this led them to turn against you It led them to devalue and degrade you They may even have tried to sabotage your success They may have tried to ruin your reputation because they felt like you were better than them They felt like you were stealing the spotlight away from them Your happiness and success made them feel very uncomfortable But in any relationship There are going to be arguments and disagreements That's when you work together to resolve it But narcissists are more focused on dodging their shame They can't deal with feeling like they made a fault or mistake So they tried to shift the blame onto you They tried to make you believe that you were the problem And they may have even smeared your name to everyone around you To get them to see you in the same way Even though the narcissist may have been the cause of the problem They cannot entertain that idea for long periods of time There is a small window where they do reflect and feel like they did something wrong But this doesn't last for long Because they can't deal with the shame Instead it triggers a narcissistic injury It makes them feel like you are attacking them So naturally They are going to do whatever it takes to defend themselves They are going to do whatever it takes to survive It makes them feel like they are in a fight for their lives Which is why they go to such extreme lengths Desperate people do desperate things So they react with narcissistic rage They try to intimidate you They try to make you feel like something is wrong with you When deep down They knew all along that they were the cause of the problem That's what caused the narcissistic injury Because they knew that they were at fault They are not going to entertain that idea for long periods of time They have weak fragile egos And they will do whatever it takes to protect them To protect their inflated sense of self importance This leads the narcissists to do whatever it takes to destroy you By pointing out the problems or issues They feel like you have attacked them So now they want to disarm you They want to deprive you of the power to hurt them And they also want to punish you They want to get revenge They will do this by targeting your self worth and self esteem By making you feel like something is wrong with you And they will then try to get everyone else to see you in the same way They will start a smear campaign against you Because they want everyone to see you as this horrible person They want everyone to see you as someone who hurt or neglected them Because narcissists have a dualistic mentality They see things in black or white Where someone is either good or bad, right or wrong And for them to be right, you have to be wrong Which is why they will go to the ends of the earth To betray you as this person who didn't treat them right Because then it saves their reputation It allows them to play the victim role Which then gives them more attention It gives them more supply And then they can just sit back And watch everyone gas like you into thinking that you were the problem But this is where the narcissists play themselves Because by doing this They've made it impossible for them to come back to you A narcissist will often leave when they used up everything you have to offer But when you get back on your feet And you become happy and healthier again That is when they want to return They want to partake in everything you have to offer But if they've started a smear campaign against you They've just shot themselves in the foot Because now they can't return to you Without looking like they're the ones who are at fault They've said all of these things about you They made you look like a bad person So if they were to return to you It would either look like they were lying Or they would just look like fools Because if you're really as bad as they said you were There should be no reason for them to return to you There should be no reason for them to want to be around you So their only option is to stay away They can't run the risk of damaging their image of reputation They care a lot about what people think of them They want to be seen as good people They want to be seen as someone who got ticket advantage of They don't want to look foolish or naive They don't want to look like they were the problem So by doing all of this They've played themselves They've shot themselves in the foot Because now they can't return to you And if you've moved on and become happy and healthier If you've moved on and become more successful There is a moment where the narcissist does realise what they've done There is a small window Where they realise that they've just made a big mistake That's why they get so angry Because that brief moment of introspection Has triggered a narcissistic injury They realise that they made the wrong decision And although they may try to fight against it In the back of their minds it's still there They are shame-based people Doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame But they are also very obsessive people They can't let things go They will stalk your social media They will hear about you from other people And every time they see Or hear that you have moved on And you've become happier and successful without them It eats away at them It reminds them That they've just made the biggest mistake of their lives It's like they had the winning lottery ticket They could have won the jackpot But they just threw it in the trash And now all they can do is watch you live your life Well it eats away at them Well it causes injury after injury Because they really can't take it They never thought that you would be able to move on without them They never thought that you would become happier and healthier They never thought that you would become successful If they had any idea that this was going to happen They would never have left you They would never have said all the horrible things about you They would never have smeared your name But of course A narcissist could not reflect on this for long periods of time They have to fight against it They have to push it away So instead All you see is this closed off bit of person who belittles you and validates your success You see this person who acts like there's so much better off without you When really That is nothing more than a coping mechanism And a defense mechanism for how they really feel Because deep down they know they played themselves They know they shot themselves in the foot And now they know there's nothing they can do about it They know that even if they did entertain those ideas it wouldn't solve anything So they remain in that state of being prideful and arrogant They act as though there's so much greater than what they actually are They act like they don't need you But that's really all it is It's just an act It doesn't change reality And the reality is that their life now sucks without you And every time they hear about you Every time they see you on social media It brings back those thoughts of how they screwed up Of how they threw their lives in the trash Which is something that they will forever deny But somewhere in their minds That idea does exist Which is why they're so angry Which is why they're so bitter and resentful towards you But rather than accepting their mistake They use projection and blame shifting They try to make you feel like you play them Rather than accepting that they play themselves Because they have to dodge the shame They have to feel like they made the right decision Their disorder is designed to block and deny the very things that they need the most It does this to protect them To keep them safe from danger or harm It's about survival But it only leaves them miserable in the end Thank you for watching I hope this video resonates with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My

The study reports that human recombinant-cystitin-9, R-CST-9, protects against Francis elatulorensis in vitro and in vivo by decreasing intracellular bacterial replication and increasing killing via preventing escape from the phagosome. It also induces autophagy in macrophages through MTOR signaling pathways, upregulates anti-inflammatory proteins while restraining pro-inflammatory associated proteins and directly decreases the viability and virulence of foot. The study suggests that R-CST-9's immunomodulatory functions may be exploited for therapeutic purposes during infection. This article was authored by Tonya E.

First question is from Mostofasen. How does body type affect your way of working out? Should a person consider a specific amount of weight or training methods if they have a mesomorph, ectomorph, or endomorph body type? I think this question is because have you guys seen a lot of, I've seen a ton of Instagram ads around this right now. Yeah. Like it's become really a popular angle is to market to people by their, their semantotypes, you know, ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph and say that, oh, if your body type is like this, you should be eating and training this way. And not like this. And that could be the reason why you're not getting results. Yeah. I've seen the, have you seen the one, the, the, the female version where they have pair, they have. Yes. There's almost like 15 different versions. They're trying to narrow it down for them. This is such a, and this is marketing 101. So people. Oh, totally. Get this. You're hitting a major pain point. Everybody, including myself, right? Like I, I want to believe that even if there is some truth to it, I want to believe that it's much harder for me to build muscle than it is Justin. Justin is, is it a much higher advantage than me to build muscle because it's definitely thick. Yeah. Because his bone structure in, you know, so he has that advantage. And the reason why I'm not more buff is because of that, because of my body type. And maybe that's why, because I've, I've been not eating correctly for my body type and my training. So it's a, it's a major pain point for a lot of people. So it's a, it's a great way to market, but that's really all, all the real weight to it. It's the, there's not a lot of truth to this. Yeah. This reminds me of, do you guys remember when they had the whole, are you a pair? Are you an apple? If you're this, then you eat this way. They're still marketing like that. Yeah. So, okay. So those, those somatotypes were created in the 1940s. It was a psychologist William Herbert Sheldon, I think is his name, who came up with this. And it was, he was trying to be used like taxonomy, right? Taxonomy is classifying animals and so he said, oh, we can classify humans into these three categories. It's been widely. Isn't it rooted in eugenics? Well, sometimes, yeah. He didn't necessarily know much about it. I know somebody, yeah, tied it into that. But this is, it's, it's been widely debunked because most people don't fit neatly into any of those categories. Most people are a combination of a lot of those things. Now, here's my opinion on training your body for, for its classified, you know, how it is a body type or whatever.  What you don't want to do is fall into a pattern of I have, I train this way because I look like this or because my body shape is this way.  When I train clients one on one, I, you know, just looking at them, I never developed a routine based off just looking at them. My routine was based off of how their body responded, how they moved, their own lifestyle, all that trumped it. Even, even male and female, here's the deal. Like there are clearly two biological categories of male and female sex. And generally speaking, there are differences between men and women, everything from hormones to fat distribution to, you know, lots of things I can generally say about men and women. But I still don't say men train this way, women train this way, because at the end of the day, it's all individual. It's all based on the individual. It would be nice if it was that simple. It would. And that's, I think that's the, you know, the key factor is that people want something that's so straightforward, so simple and it's going to work for them right away. And so they're looking for that. And so marketers know that.  Like this is the answer that I was looking for and it's speaking to me, because I do fit within this description and this type of body type and all these things. Unfortunately, you know, there's a lot more education that needs to happen in self responsibility and understanding of, you know, like your body signals, all these different factors and genetic factors that you're bringing into working out. Yeah, I would say that here's the most important things based your workout and diet off of information. Number one, your goal. Number two, your lifestyle. Number three, you know, how you feel during the workouts, your behaviors, what you enjoy to do. Those are the most important things. Those are the most important things. I'll give you an example of that, right? I could, we could do some crazy analysis of an individual. I could do all kinds of bio metric readings and biology and we could test your gut flora and do us. And I could say to you, hey, Steve, we did all this complicated, took, you know, $50,000 with a test or whatever based off of our research, the most effective form of cardio for you is going to be to wake up at 5.15 a.m. and go swim in a cold lake. Now, if Steve hates that, never wants to do it, guess what? It doesn't matter. It doesn't work. Because we're looking at long term success. None of that matters, right? So that's why it's important to consider that. Not only that, but there's even a massive variance day to day and week to week. True, yeah. So, you know, maybe that's perfect for Steve tomorrow. But then Steve gets bad news at work, gets terrible sleep the next day. Steve goes on a drinking binge. And that's, and here's the truth. You know, Justin said it would be nice, but it would be awful for us. We'd eliminate our jobs. I mean, that would be...  Yeah, but then it would be done, right? Yeah, it's done. There would be no reason to have conversations like this afterwards, right? Because it would be that specific. It's like, oh, here's your body type. Here's what you're supposed to be eating. Here's how you're supposed to be training. There you go. Go follow it. Just spits it out of a machine. Yeah, we'd be done, right? And many people could duplicate it. But really, that's what makes a great coach. A great coach is able to adjust on the fly like that is to know to ask the right questions from the client to get the proper feedback to then make the best educated guess. And I say guess because we always are kind of guessing. Yeah. I don't know physiologically what's going on in everybody's body at every moment. And that's what makes us so unique and beautiful is there's so many things that are happening moment to moment that you can never just categorize a type of person or people in a group that this is how they should eat, this is how they should train, this is how they should sleep. Nah, it just doesn't work that way. The best we can do as coaches is to help educate and form the listener or the client as much as possible so they can learn to read some of these signals and make the best educated guess. And this is why experience is so important. After you work with people years and years and years, you start to see your patterns, and your guesses get closer and better and more accurate.


Alrighty, let's play this in full as always here we will risk our lives blah blah blah. Okay done. I did my part Cool. I was a fan of nice short shots. What is this 150 frames? Nice bring down a volume just a little bit We will risk our lives blah blah blah. Okay done So my impressions were overall. I like it's cool As you move on with this I'll be careful with you might have to rearrange some of the set pieces This is extremely picky, but yes stuff where they start having tensions there And I would just finish up the animation and at the very end we can re Shuffle some props and you know some colors and things just kind of You know, I'm very much drawn to Can see this with this color here. Let me change to All that is drawing My attention to it. I know this is easily fixable. Let's be careful with all that It is it seems a bit distracting just visually just to start the shot like that But obviously it's very easy to fix now in terms of the performance here are my suggestions I don't think there's anything that stands out as being Horrificly wrong. Like oh this shot was never gonna work like this But here are my thoughts and as always you can agree and disagree And take what you need at first. I missed This because I'm looking at her the shot starts. I like that. She is finishing a move It's like caught on action. You can feel like this stuff happened before This is just a shot out of a sequence. She gets ready into her thing, but I'm ready to look at her It's also very appealing in character I just want to look there and then you know and the line starts so this actually also because of The coloring and how small this is and how he gets kind of lost. I Only noticed this on the second viewing now you might say that's good because I was drawn into this But here are my thoughts. What if you save this so you keep everything you have in terms of The gesture just imagine the thumb is still there But she can she can still do all that stuff and she does the popping at the very end when she's done She can just through here, and I know it's a different pose, but again, it's just a suggestion that she's done saying all her lines Then pop and then drinks. It's kind of the last thing she does I did my part because also I Think somewhere around here even the eyes will go towards there We're a bit more aware of this if you want to make a moment out of that. Just a little suggestion and body wise I Mean I like I like a lot. It's a really cool stuff I like that till had wiggle even in this early blocking phase and set mode You can you can see what's going on there and you got little detail there on the legs. This is all really cool What if again, it's totally up to you. What if during the blah blah blah? Blah blah blah, so she gets she turns around gets into this position and then blah blah blah She would actually lift up the root a bit more Maybe the fingers would be here in the hand comes off a bit So she gets just a bit higher. She's a bit of a blah blah blah and because the body Rises a bit raise a bit rise raise Okay, and then so she has a bigger drop on okay Because the only concern that I was that once she turns and gets into this When you screw up. Yes, there is movements, but it's also kind of it She's kind of locked into that not that I won't do some crazy things where she walks left and right But I wonder if that could be interesting just a little bit of an add-on of blah blah blah Because she looks up and she has all those cool moves What if you can accentuate this a bit more with the body going up as well and then and then if a bit of a more of a plop down And I wonder even if when she plops down imagine So she goes like this and maybe you might have to lean it forward a bit more or move that body over So that when you go blah blah blah again, she is maybe not angled so much Maybe she's just angled a bit less and goes up with the body. So when she plops down imagine she is she is maybe you know 25% less of this meaning the shoulder is a bit lower. She's not so leaning over just a bit less So that So during either done or I did my part during this it's her final final settle into this pose And my my thought process is that she goes around says all this right goes up and when she plops down Like okay, but she's she's still talking that person She's still invested only when she goes done or potentially even afterwards during this She really disconnects and you can see that by her looking at the bottle and drinking which I'm not really looking about but she's done Why she she is not holding eye contact and she starts drinking I wonder if this could be the moment to really get into this pose and again I'm only talking about you know lowering this a little bit head Maybe a bit less and just lessening this pose by maybe 20-25% to then get into this last pose During this section here to really finish that just looking for some subtle changes In the body to kind of accentuate the mood but not going overboard and adding too much movements, but also trying to get out of Bam once you're here again. It's just and especially once she has that shoulder up here I mean, it's kind of it and I feel like we could push even in subtle ways The emotional state and how much he connects with that character. She's talking to just a bit more But obviously there's totally up to you We can have a little bit discussion about that email if you want to but that is it from me at the moment. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way like and subscribe would be awesome.

Why the narcissist is destined to die alone? Many narcissists are destined to die alone They're destined to get older and then experience nothing but loneliness and sadness Where they become very bitter and resentful towards the opposite sex Because they feel like they have been treated unfairly They will never look at themselves They will never adjust their way of thinking They will never hold themselves accountable for their actions And that is why they're destined to die alone Because accountability is the key to success in any area of our lives But all the narcissists ever did was blame other people when things went wrong They never looked themselves and made the necessary changes We cannot control other people We cannot choose how other people behave We can try to influence their actions or decisions But in the end it's up to them how they choose to respond We can only change ourselves By taking responsibility for where we are in life By realizing that it is our own actions and decisions That have led us to where we are now By tracing our steps back to that fork in the road Where we went in the wrong direction By understanding what made us make those actions and decisions And then choosing a different path to then achieve a more favorable outcome or results Which is something that the narcissist will never do They will always blame a person or circumstance for them as fortune Which is why they never change or develop Their disorder is maladaptive They have an inability to assimilate They cannot take in or understand fully certain informational ideas They cannot absorb or integrate into a wider society or culture Because everything has to go their way Everything has to revolve around them There's no room for them to accommodate another person's desires or needs Because the narcissist has a void that can never be filled It can never be filled because they refuse to look within and attend to it Instead they expect us to intend to them and fulfill their needs Which is what we try to do until we realize that we cannot change them We can only change ourselves And it is their inability to change that prevents them from being able to sustain a long-term relationship Because eventually people just get fed up of having to do everything their way Relationships are meant to be reciprocal They're supposed to be a mutual benefit Rather than one person being drained of their energy and resources To feed or sustain the other person But this is a concept that narcissists do not understand How could they ever understand it? You cannot rationalize anything with someone who has a large gap in wounded side of their chest Or someone who is hanging off the edge of a cliff Which is why there's just no way to get through to them There's no way to get them to understand Because anytime that you don't make everything about them In their minds, you're the problem You're expected to be at their beck and call It's like they're suffering from severe injuries They cannot survive unless you are there to sustain their false self Which is why narcissists cannot be unknown They need a source of supply They need someone to provide them with a sense of stability and security That's what keeps them sane It gives them a purpose But they never have that person's best interest in mind They just manipulate and exploit those people They take advantage of them They use them And when they have nothing left to give They toss them aside Like their garbage But they never regret their actions In their minds, it's always the other person's fault And that is why they're destined to die alone Because they never learn from their mistakes Which is why you should not feel bad for them This video is not a pity party for the narcissist They had plenty of options to choose from But they abused them all They mistreated them They refused to limit themselves to one person Even if they found someone who was perfect for them They were always looking for something else They wanted to see what else was out there It's a never-ending cycle First they idealized their target Then they devalued them And then finally they discard them But then it just starts all over again with someone else They refused to limit themselves to one person Because they always want more They always want something better They want someone who is more attractive Or someone with more money But even when they get that It's still not enough They just keep wanting more and more But they're never satisfied Which is why they're destined to die alone Because although they may have met lots of good people They always felt like they could do better They always wanted more They always thought the grass was greener on the other side They always felt that what they had wasn't good enough In the end The narcissists who are once so loud and grandiose Eventually become covert They play the victim They act like everyone did them wrong And they become very bitter and resentful As though life is just being fair to them Rather than accepting that they brought this on themselves It's the result of their own actions They chose this And they could have made a different choice But they didn't Eventually many narcissists will even choose to be alone Because they have a long list of what they're looking for in a relationship partner But a very short list or no list at all Of what they have to bring to the table Many of these narcissists act grandiose and arrogant But they don't actually have any quality skills or resources That would benefit you or improve your life in any way It's all in their heads Which is why when you get involved with them You find that they're just a hindrance in your life They're just setting you back Because they lied about their abilities They had to make you believe that they were on your level But eventually The truth reveals itself When you're no longer able to perform at the same standard as you did before Because they lied to you They exaggerated everything They sold you a dream Eventually You just wake up You see the truth And if you don't get rid of them They'll get rid of you Because they don't want truth They don't want to deal with reality They want the fantasy It just gets to the point where people begin to wake up No one wants to participate in this fantasy anymore Which is why they eventually end up alone Not because they can't find anyone But because they don't want to be with someone Who's beneath what they think they deserve Because that would just reflect back to them That maybe they're not special or important It would reflect back to them That they're not much better than the average person Which is what their narcissism is designed to deny So instead they become better and resentful at the world They act like they've been treated unfairly As though they're deserving of something better or greater When the truth is much worse than what they're trying to deny Because while they may think that they deserve more than what they've received The truth is that those relationships failed Because they were not deserving of them But in the end They act like those people were not deserving They cut off or resent anyone who is not willing to validate this illusion The narcissist is destined to die alone Because they will always choose their false self over their source of supply The illusion is more important to them than love or any form of connection Because they live in fear That maybe they're not special or important In life we have two choices We can choose to live in fear Or we can choose to live with love But for narcissists It's not a choice Because they've lived in fear for so long They don't know anything else So eventually they just die alone because they're afraid They target people who they think are better than them Because then it makes them feel like they are better Then they can feel better about themselves Rather than accept them themselves as they actually are Because all they're really doing is running from themselves That's the purpose of the idealization, the devaluation and the discard That's the purpose of the illusion It's a distraction They create these different characters Which they abandon eventually And they abandon everyone and everything that goes along with these characters Until there's nothing left Because if you've spent years of your life working on yourself To become the person that you are today You're probably not going to want to live in a fantasy You're going to be content with your reality You're not going to want to conform to an illusion But the narcissists never worked on themselves They just decided one day that there's something Without putting any work in Which is why the only option is to sustain the illusion Without that there's nothing All they can do is pull people into their world Until those people realize that it's not real And then the narcissist will either remove them from their fake world Or those people will leave on their own Once you discover that it's all a lie There's really nothing you can do You can't rationalize where the narcissist You cannot bring truth to the situation Because truth is death to a narcissist So in the end A lot of them have to be alone Because that's the only way that they can survive That's the only way that they can sustain the illusion Because although they may have tried to brainwash you They're also victims of their own manipulation They're under the same spell And they want to stay there Because reality was too painful for them to deal with Thank you for watching I hope this video resonates with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video

Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell. This YouTube channel covers things about living in Jerusalem and Israel. As most people who've been following the news over the past few days will be aware, there has been an escalation in the security situation with militant groups in the Gaza Strip, firing rockets into Israel. Today, some rockets landed near Jerusalem. Um, so when this happens, if you are living in Israel, um, at the time of a sort of security flare up like this, generally people will start paying a lot more attention to this system called the Red Alert in Hebrew. Seva Adam. So most people check it. It's a nationwide system that sends out warnings based on specific areas in the country. And most people check it via, um, their smartphone, but I personally much prefer to do stuff on my computer, my desktop. Uh, so if you're working at a desktop during the day, um, I like to have it on my, uh, desktop rather than my phone. So this is a nice website that I found that I wanted to just show quickly. I'll put the URL up on the screen at sevaadome.co.al, the Israeli domain name. And as you can see, it's available in four languages. We can switch between the Hebrew version, which is of course, uh, laid out right to left the English version. And they've also got a version in Spanish, um, Arabic and in Russian. Uh, so I'm just going to return it to English. Um, so basically what this is, it's going to send you desktop notifications. And it's kind of self-explanatory, but I thought I would, uh, just kind of run through the features anyway. So you can see on the left-hand side of the screen here, the alert notifications that have been sent in, uh, over the past few hours, as you can see today, there's been a bunch of these alerts. And as you can see, um, the nationwide sevaadome system divides the country into alert regions. Uh, so basically you need to know where you should know your alert region, whatever, however you're checking these. So, um, the two things that you can do basically desktop notifications, you want to turn this on and that will give a notification at the moment, if you don't specify a city, it'll give it for the whole country, but you can pop your city in. So my alert region is Jerusalem south. So I'm just going to scroll down on my screen a bit and you can see for Jerusalem, there is Jerusalem, Qatar, the north Jerusalem, east Jerusalem, west, so I'm going to go for a Jerusalem south and put that in. And now I'm going to be getting notifications only for my area and up the whole country. So Jerusalem south and you can select multiple regions, which is a nice feature as well. So I can do Jerusalem west also. And then this will send notifications for you. You can see there's two alert regions. So I'm just going to take off as Jerusalem west, just to show as well. Um, if you click on more warning measures, you'll, you'll see other places you can get this. There is, of course, um, apps for the Android and for iPhone. There's also, uh, this works over telegram, uh, Twitter, um, WhatsApp and Instagram even. So they have it all covered. So you don't need to have, you know, everything. The ones I would recommend doing are, I like the desktop one personally, and I also have the app set up on my phone. Just my phone isn't always turned on or with me. So I like when I'm working at the computer to do it like this. One more option you have there is read city names in English. If you want to follow alerts for the whole country. Um, and when you take this the first time, you're going to get a notification from Chrome to enable notification. So it's important you click yes. Uh, so that you can get these if you're using Google Chrome as your browser, like me, and you want to make sure double check that you've got the notification permission allowed for that website. You want to go into your Chrome settings, then click into privacy and security. Then you want to click into, um, site settings here, control what information sites can use and show. And as you can see, I've whitelisted, I've whitelisted save a dome.co.al and allowed notifications. So you should see that there, um, and, uh, it's going to allow it to send it into the notifications, into the browser. So if you don't see that there, uh, go back to save a dome, refresh the page, and then click on enable in order to allow notifications. One final little trick that might prove useful is, uh, Chrome has a nice feature whereby you can turn a webpage into sort of an app. So if you want to just keep this open on your computer at all times and not just when you're using Chrome, you can do that. You want to click on the Chrome menu, click into more tools, and then you have a button here for create a shortcut. And, um, you want to click on open as window. And I'm just going to call this red alerts.  This is what I have here. So I like to separate my web browsing from my, from this, and I can just keep this window open on my computer. Um, and I can even actually configure it to run automatically when my computer starts up. So I think that's pretty much all you might need to know in order to get the red alert alerts, alerts, um, on your desktop computer. Again, I'll put the URL here at save a dome.co.al and I'll also put a link to it in the description and it is a voluntary project, which people can donate to.


this is game chat born episode 134 negativity travels game chat with Buona welcome to the show now here's your host Buona McCall with all the gaming news of this week uh by the way that's me please folks and welcome to episode 134 of game chat born we got a great show lined up for you guys some good stories about five or six stories to talk about today and uh hope you all enjoyed the last episode of tale of two rants that was a 50 minute it was like over an hour I think an hour of just me ranting about a whole bunch of stuff with anthem and some stuff with borderlands during the epic game store it was a pretty engaging episode even my wife got involved you know she was like she was listening to the podcast and she she said she was actually arguing with the podcast on some points I was like oh that must be a good podcast and a good episode of it's got you arguing with the podcast but if you guys got comments like that you can leave them in the comments below that you know I don't bite I don't bite uh but today's show is going to be pretty pretty standard we got about five or six things to talk about everything ranging from the BAFTA awards to a follow-up to Bioware story on anthem and some stuff with even online even two we're going to talk something some stuff about negativity on the internet and uh something that I saw recently that inspired me to to kind of investigate or not even investigate but to just talk more about that topic so let's get right into the show and for our first story we're going to talk about Bioware and the whole anthem fiasco that we talked about last week with the article from Kotaku this is a follow-up that was posted from Jason Schreier over on kotaku.com and I've already discussed Bioware's response to Jason's article last week if you haven't checked that out go check out episode 133 of Game Chat 1 and uh this is a follow-up and this is Bioware's head boss basically replying to what the allegations were and the allegations were that there was a lot of mental issues and a lot of depression and anxiety that caused a lot of employees to leave Bioware. Casey Hudson is the name of the boss that I'm referring to and the reason why this is so so perplexing is because the PR statement that came from Bioware generally stated that things were fine that their postmortems didn't show what the article was accusing Bioware of having in their in their environment so this is a note from from Casey Hudson this is uh an internal memo it's pretty long but uh some of the quotes that I want to he says I want to get a note out to you to share my thoughts about the Kotaku article and the online discussion it has raised the article mentions many of the problems and the development of Anthem and some of our previous projects and it draws a link between those issues and the quality of our workplace and the well-being of our staff these problems are real and it's our top priority to continue working to solve them and then he goes on about what they're going to do and you know his commitment to helping them says I'm committing to getting us to a place where we are delivering on the highest expectations for Bioware games through a work environment that's among the very best in the world with your help we will get there please let me know if we can talk in person I'll be happy to set up a time to hear your thoughts so wow um this is this is quite the turnaround from Bioware I wonder if the person who wrote that article or the response to the article is still with the company because this sounds like a direct contradiction to what they were saying uh a lot of that rebuttal that they had before was you know defending individuals because individuals were named and uh Jason Schreyer claims that he only named uh some of the high level of execs and no I guess you call them foot soldiers or normal employees were named uh there's only a couple people that were named and you know Bioware was against that they said that you know they don't want to single people out it's a team effort blah blah blah but then they go to say that um that I think in the beginning of their response that the post mortems of our project showed that none of this was a concern you know it wasn't even a big deal um so I guess that that may have brought up the problem too and it just just goes to highlight how quickly things can change uh once once the public's eye is brought to some internal issues uh because I think it may have been an environment that it was uh you know I've been into some of these environments where it's a harsh environment but it was established to bring it up so if you go to a post mortem meeting no one's going to bring it up because you may get in trouble you may get fired you may get a look you know your boss may tell you not to bring it up which is quite possible that you may go into a post mortem and you know don't bring up the stress leave don't bring up this don't bring up that just bring up issues that could have been prevented in the uh in the project no mental issues allowed that's quite possible although I won't I don't agree with it it's probably one of those things they could have done however some companies do like to separate project-based issues with HR issues because stress environment stress-based uh leave and um mental health issues can most times be taken up in HR post mortems or one-on-ones with HR uh personnel so while it's easy to for even me to do it to even compare what happened in this response with the other response it could be it could have been accurate because a lot of those things may have been covered in HR but the light of the response you know you got a minute it made it seem like it wasn't really a big deal and in actuality it probably was a big deal so we'll be uh we'll be following this one up to see if Casey Hudson's note to his employees will make a big difference um on their future projects or even on Anthem but right now the company seems to be seems to be in a in a in a back peddling state responding to all this public outcry about what happened with Anthem both from a game standpoint and both from an internal employee standpoint check it out guys over on cataqua cataqua.com Jason posts this uh follow-up article by our boss addresses studio issues vows to continue working to solve them and for our next story we're going to talk about BAFTA the BAFTA game award winners for 2019 if you don't know what this is this is the british academy game awards uh 2019 uh a bunch of different categories i'm just going to go down the list and name some of these and i'll give my thoughts artistic achievement return of the obra obraden uh

five five awards god of war walked away with five awards and i have to really thank spider man my my thing is i thought spider man was one of the best games last year um out of everybody everywhere

never played god of war though i'm not a god of war guy i do respect it i do believe all the people that that said they loved it i believe that it was genuine but for me this was all about spider man

first off i don't know i see if these is even up here uh no first off the game i think is too new and then on top of that they really haven't done anything yet and it's been it's been very very shallow so far even the updates they've been added adding hasn't really added that much so i could agree with overwatch i can read fortnight elite dangerous the december update was really really good i guess if they're talking about that the beyond update oh they are okay they actually put beyond in there okay yeah then i can agree with that destiny to forsaken i can kind of agree with that and rainbow six siege yeah i can agree with all that but see if these i don't i don't understand that one that that seems a little bit you know we'll see um of these other ones yeah original property i guess when we talk about that dead cells florence moss return of the over then and subnautica was on here too that's cool uh into the breach won that i haven't played that yet i've been meaning to try

show notes i mean let me know in the comments what am i talking about that and for our next door we're going to talk about octopath traveler octopath traveler is a j rpg uh on the nintendo switch which was one of the first games that i saw on nintendo switch that i said man i would actually play that game um around the release time is when i actually got the switch and played it on my uh playing on my live stream at twitch.tv slash one you can also find footage of it on my youtube channel youtube.com slash one i got a playlist of it up there uh it is a pretty pretty similar to final fantasy type games where you've got turn based combat and you've got a party of different classes that have different abilities and items that attack different monsters and random encounters and the thing that encapsulated and and just grabbed me was that it had a really really good art style now the story i'm going to talk about from gomatsu.com is that octopath traveler is has been rated for pc in korea so it may be coming to pc as a pc port and i gotta say i highly recommend this game if you haven't played it you're into old school turn based rpgs like the final fantasy series octopath traveler is a great great game even my alert sound on my live stream is from that game where where tressa goes thank you where she she does her steal ability on different mobs and she says thank you that is my alert sound on my live stream i really love this game um so yeah it'd be really really good if this came to pc i'm wondering if it's going to be published on the epic store now but the the listing says it's going to be uh it's going to be published by bandai namco which has been known to to publish uh square enix games so this seems legit so we're going to be watching this one very closely if you haven't checked out octopath traveler on the switch if you own the switch you need to see if you want to buy it need to check your funds check your wallet because it is a worthwhile game to check out over there check it out guys over on gomatsu.com they got the details about octopath traveler possibly coming to pc it's a good one it's definitely a good one and for our next story we're going to talk about eve online eve online the space game where people spend billions of dollars on ships and no i'm just joking usually when there's a headline in in the uh the news about eve online it's about oh three million dollars where the ships were destroyed in a giant battle or this player has stolen the equivalent of seven hundred thousand dollars and ships and modules and they always like to tie a real money value to assets and eve but this particular story is about a real life counterpart to a character in eve online a player by the name of brisk rubal he is an actual real life lobbyist who is now or was sitting on a council of stellar management which is like their it's like their player council which is like the player uh it's like the voice of the players to uh ccp so that you know issues and stuff that come up in the game can be can be properly communicated from players to the company and it's a election that takes place every every so often in eve online they elect players to be to seat to be seated on the counter stellar management so this guy was permanently banning eve online for corruption it's kind of funny because his role in real life almost mimics exactly what he's doing in game and he's been he's been banned from the game he hasn't nothing has happened in real life but um they have accused him this is a pretty it's a pretty high accusation they have accused him of let me get the the actual text of what they accused him of um let's see he was permanently blamed for sharing confidential information with the member of his alliance that was later used by another alliance member to conduct illicit in game transactions and this is this is the meat of it this is where the drama eve is good at drama let me tell you the miss this misconduct was brought to us by the csm themselves this is the other people that sit on the council of stellar management as an immediate threat to the integrity of the csm as an institution ccp stands on this is clear regardless of the type of information shared acts like this go against everything that the council of stellar management stands for and will not be tolerated under any circumstances now uh mister i think his real name is shuman shunaman shunaman brian shunaman he made a lengthy public statement denying any wrongdoing this is an update on the pcgamer.com article he says that ccp games is not responding to his request for information about what specifically he was banned for and asserts that he did not break any non-disclosure agreements or share confidential information here's his quote he says as a licensed attorney for nearly a decade i have never had a complaint filed against me i have served in positions of public trust in the united states government and have never had a complaint filed against me the claims that i would risk my reputation by providing proprietary or otherwise confidential information to members of my own alliance for personal gain are false there is no reason why i would jeopardize all of that by violating my word putting my reputation online and risking all of this to provide a fellow player with an unfair advantage in the game i will fight these these false allegations restore my reputation and seek all avenues for recourse available to me for these reckless actions i'll quote um this this this sounds like a scandal this is like this is like soap opera like level scandal stuff like somebody it was a one-hour man somebody set me up and i it is so it's even such a cutthroat game inside the game that it's so often and you've reached you read stories it's so often bleeds into real life like people can't separate the game from real life it's it's like that's people call eve a second job it's like you know you know spaceships is serious business there's a lot of sayings and memes about it but in all truth man people take this game way too seriously it is a video game that people spend thousands of dollars a year on number one and then number two it's just the links that people go to to ruin somebody else's reputation both in game and out of game there's been a lot of public doxing that's been happening in this game a lot of threats you know real life stuff over the past few years that ccp has been trying to to get under control but this right here i mean this could affect this guy's real life uh his real life profession if if it turns out to be you know accurate my first that my first my first impression and my first reaction to this is that this guy's been set up it's really easy to falsify information and just come up with logs and and just falsify logs and stuff and put people in certain situations or even compromise the guy's account and do stuff you know it's there's so many things that could have happened here i don't know why i'm siding with this guy i don't even know him i i don't you know there's no reason to trust him but my first good reaction is that man i don't i don't really think he did it it's just i mean his his response makes sense he's like why would i do that i i there there's no reason to do that but you know that hasn't stopped people in the past so that's that's not an excuse that can hold water in all cases you know some people do stupid stuff for stupid reasons and have no reason to do them but they do them anyway so check this story out man this guy brian or brisk rubol evil line a public servant if you will has been banned from evil line permanently and all of his assets i didn't even tell you about that uh they're going to um let's see i think they have it it says all of his stuff because he's got two other people that are going to be banned too um here it is uh effective immediately he removed that he was removed from his role and permanently banned from the game two other players named dark shines and pandora pandora lika also receive year-long bans and all the isk which is the end game currency and goods associated with the schemes which sounds a lot like evil line versions of insider trading has been confiscated so they took all of his money and ships along with this these other two guys or gals um interesting interesting you can't make this stuff up man when they talk about emergent gameplay i didn't know would really do this this is some serious emergence right here check it out guys over on pcgamer dot b pc gamer dot com they got the details a real life lobbyist was just permanently banned and evil line for corruption if i find the story we're going to do something a little bit different i'm going to talk about something that we i saw on the joe rogan podcast and it affects games it affects gamers uh this is how i came on my radar because uh it was quoted by ninja he said kevin hart was speaking to his soul and i was like oh i got to see this um essentially what happened and i said essentially and um and i'm probably going to say uh what's the point you know you know see you know you know uh kevin hart was on the joe rogan podcast and the topic of negativity came up and uh kevin hart says that negativity these days is popular and joe rogan him are going back and forth about why that is and kevin says something very very true he said being negative is cool these days it is it is the popular opinion to be negative to be the the negative opinion and we see it in games all the time if you if you follow any subreddit if you follow any game community it is very popular the the the negative viewpoint is always going to be the more popular viewpoint reasonable arguments and stuff like that you know sometimes rise to the top but the negative opinion gets the views gets the popularity you see it on youtube videos you see it on game reviews angry rants and stuff like that people who are negative get the attention because that's what people want to see and that's the words that those are the exact words he said that's what people want to see they want to see the negative nobody wants to see the positive and i've been noticing this for a long time i first noticed it and called it out i don't know if i called it out on the podcast i'm going to go hipster on you guys a little bit um i called it on the podcast when the term white night first was like introduced and i was like what in the deuce is white night and it's like this guy's white nighting he's white night no basically what it means is that this person comes into a negative discussion and defends who's ever been attacked or someone who's been attacked he's white nighting and this is how it started this is how it came out if you came into a negative situation where everybody's being negative and you come in and be positive oh this guy's white nighting it's since evolved to something different now where in white nighting is now being quated with fanboying where you blindly defend things now that that that definition of white nighting has evolved since then but when it first hit it was when you just came and said no man nobody's doing anything wrong you're just white nighting and it's just like well what about this this is the truth what am i supposed to say and people you were you were intentionally put down for being positive and people even joke about these days you're like somebody's ranting about something and complaining about something you come in with a reasonable you know like hey man that's not true this is that this is that there's no reason to be upset like why are you coming into our we're trying to have a perfectly reasonable negative discussion you're coming in with all that positivity you know people even joke like that now and it's a plague it really is a plague software developers are terrified of this plague they're terrified of this of this thing because one thing point out in the video that i'm going to link in the description that it's a timestamp link to when kevin heart starts talking about it one thing he points out is that when one person is negative somebody else jumps in and just wants to do it for no reason as well yeah man i hate that too i hate that you know they were talking he gave the example of of someone talking about liking a movie i like titanic and then you say yeah i like titan too and somebody just bops bustles in boom i hate titanic why'd you hate titanic i don't know i don't have to tell you i just hate it you know just hate hate hate hate and then somebody else comes along like i hate it too and then i hate it i hate that you know it's like all these people come in and say they hate it now it's one thing to to actually not like the movie but you know as well as i do that majority of majority of these cases people don't even they barely know what you're even talking about they just want to jump on the hate train and i even saw this on that i was reading an epic game thread and um it was about uh some guy came forth and debunked the idea that the epic game store was fireware which anybody with half a brain already knew and the one guy put in the comments he said at this point i'm just having a good time hating epic i was just like well there you go and i i i really believe he was being honest he's just like i just i'm just having i just like hating epic how can you like hating something unless you just have evil in your heart i don't i don't understand that and the internet and this is where the discussion on kevin hart and on the joe rogan show kind of kind of alluded to it's like the internet and anonymity people are just purposefully being negative and hateful and not even trying to be positive that's their first reaction is to be negative and it's become a complaint echo chamber if you go to twitter if you go to instagram if you go to a forum uh subreddit social media in general has become uh come uh complaining and hatred echo chamber uh and it's really bad now i mean you can really really see it in some cases where people don't need there's no rational thought it's just constant screaming and and and grinding of teeth i was just yeah i hate this i hate this too you know they're just going back and forth and they just they're feeding off of each other's negative energy and it just it just grows and grows and grows so you can't have a really rational thought like i was saying earlier developers they're they're terrified of this because these negative waves and these negative uh these negative movements essentially can be a pr nightmare from nothing let's take the epic game store as an example i'm not going to rant about it but the fact that people are calling it spyware is so laughable because of a seemingly bad i think it's bad programmatic practice how they did the steam import friends list it's bad it was a bad programmatic practice it was it was a hack pretty much which oh my gosh in my years and my my 10 to 20 years of software development i've seen these types of hacks all over the place all these little shortcuts and tricks that that developers do it's not spyware though and they just think it's kept throwing that spyware term out there to scare people it was fear mongering and yet and still people are still propagated and it was like the guy came forth and did a detailed explanation and a detailed analysis which everybody knew was the case because the guy who brought up the original point had no clue he even admitted he had no clue what he was talking about he just had screenshots of various things that made no sense and then it just started this hate wagon and this hate train and i say it all the time there's perfectly reasons to not there's perfectly good reasons to disagree with companies and disagree with how they do stuff but don't spread and propagate misinformation and lies based off of fear that's where i have to draw the line i can have a i can have a reasonable discussion about that stuff all day long with people but soon as that stuff starts happening that's that's where logic and reason go out the window and that's people's ammunition these days is negativity negativity breeds a lot of defensive reactions and then you get you get caught up in fear and then you get caught in the motion and the next thing you know you are getting mad on the internet at four o'clock in the morning won't go to bed because you're trying to prove somebody is wrong over a video game it's a big problem negativity in video games is a big problem and there is a such thing as providing constructive criticism without being negative and people a lot of kids don't understand that they're like oh you just want me to bend over and you know you just want me to take you know everything you just want me to just just bow down to these people and just say hey you know you you you you just do whatever you want might know you could have you can have constructive feedback and you can even actually be a little bit upset about something without being negative it is it's called it's just called manners and intact something you kind of have to learn these days but I think a lot of this social media generation they just they don't know what how to do that and it's a it's a crucial skill you got to learn how to express yourself without being mad because when you're angry nobody wants to listen to an angry angry person let alone an angry gamer this is why gamers have a reputation now especially with people outside of outside of the the entertainment industry or outside of just the whole gaming market they just think game gamers are complaining whining babies that stereotype has been formed rightfully so because a lot of the the the minority out there the vocal minority that's exactly what they're doing it's exactly what they're doing it's just a lot of crying and negativity and no constructive you know no constructive conversations that are rising to the top the negativity rises to the top and I know there's people out there that are passionate about gaming like myself you probably listen to this going born I don't do that you know I have conversations I write lengthy posts I give developers feedback but like Kevin Hart just said people want to see the negative they want to they want to they thrive on the negative they want to be negative and they want to join along with the negative and that herein is the biggest problem that we're seeing in gaming today nothing is done because people are just negative it's a very very good podcast on a lot of different topics if you haven't watched this Joe Rogan podcast it's a heavy big language warning I have a family friendly podcast so if you're going to go over there listen to this be prepared to have your ears melted by a lot of the curse words and a lot of language on the Joe it's a very raw podcast but it is it's got some topics that I think a lot of people should listen to and it was really good really really good not just on negativity but just on social media in general there's a lot of good discussions in that podcast and they're all so true so true so check it out guys Kevin Hart on negativity and it applies to the gaming community of why we like to be negative so much and like to propagate negativity I think it's something that needs to stop and I hope we can all come together and realize that we need to stop doing that and that concludes episode 134 of game chat when I I want to thank you all for listening to this show

Animal Charity RSPCA says West Ham United defender Kurt, Zuma and his brother Joanne are said to be charged under the Animal Welfare Act after they posted a video which showed them abusing a pet cat. A viral video filmed by Joanne and posted on social media last month showed Kurt dropping the tabby cat and kicking it across the floor. West Ham said they were aware of the RSPCA statement and said Kurt was cooperating fully with the investigation. The video caused outrage and led to club sponsors cutting ties with Kurt's Premier League club West Ham, while Adidas also dropped the sponsorship of the defender. However, he continued to be selected by manager David Moyes. West Ham said Zuma was fined the maximum amount possible last month, with British media reporting the fine was two weeks wages. Now the 27-year-old who apologised had accepted the fine which was to be donated to Animal Welfare Charities.


Great historic mistake. Stoltenberg urges NATO not to allow Putin to win war. NATO members should quickly provide additional military assistance to Ukraine to avoid a great historic mistake of a Russian victory on the battlefield. According to NATO Secretary General Jenz Stoltenberg, he emphasises that Ukrainians have enough courage, they lack ammunition. Together we have the capacity to provide Ukraine with what it needs. Now we need to show the political will to do so. Stoltenberg emphasises that NATO countries must dig deep and deliver quickly as delay will lead to real consequences on the battlefield. So this is a critical moment. It would be a great historic mistake to allow Putin to prevail, he said. Jenz Stoltenberg told that since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian occupiers have lost 350,000 of their soldiers killed and wounded, states the NATO Secretary General. He mentions that the number of killed and wounded Russian soldiers is based on data from Western intelligence services. However, he has not specified the exact number of Russian military personnel killed. According to Stoltenberg, the losses of the occupiers in Ukraine have significantly increased recently. The aggressor country is paying a very high price for minor successes in terms of controlling certain territories. The Secretary General reminds that the Ukrainian Armed Forces also sank a significant part of the Russian Black Sea fleet. Additionally, Ukrainian forces managed to shoot down important and expensive long-range airborne early warning and control aircraft A-50. It should be noted that the data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine differs from what was announced by the NATO Secretary General. It is known that since the start of the full-scale war, Russian occupiers have lost 427,840 of their soldiers. Shocking claim from Russia. NATO will divide Ukrainian territory between countries of alliance. French President Emmanuel Macron has brought up the idea of sending NATO soldiers into Ukraine because members of the US-led bloc are plotting to divide up the country. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, Macron first suggested two weeks ago that when it came to NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine, no option should be off the table but was publicly disavowed by most NATO members. He has since argued that France might send its own soldiers should Russia break through to Kiev or Odessa. All these statements that Macron and other NATO politicians make about the possibility of introducing contingents or some kind of paramilitary units into the territory of Ukraine are related to the partition of what they see as the remnants of Ukraine. Zakharova said at a press briefing in Moscow, territorial aspirations help explain why Kiev has not been invited to join the bloc yet. Zakharova argued, this would require all NATO members to recognize Ukraine's borders and not all of them are willing to do so, she added. She said that they are ready to occupy and partition Ukraine. The moral preparation of the population in both NATO countries and Ukraine is already underway. Zakharova said with some politicians speaking about such an outcome openly. All this is happening as usual with NATO members under a false flag. They talk about countering Russia, but are in fact starting to divide the remains of Ukraine between themselves, she said. Adding that this should serve as a warning to those who entrust their fate to NATO. As for Paris, Zakharova said, French troops invaded Russia in the early 19th century and again in the early 20th. France would do well to remember how that ended. South Korean Defence Chief Orders plan to kill Northern Korean leader Kim Jong-un. South Korean Defence Minister Shin Won-sik has called for quickly killing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and other top officials in Pyongyang in the event that war breaks out on the peninsula again. Shin issued this order telling South Korea's Army Special Warfare Command to make preparations for taking out North Korea's leader. If Kim Jong-un starts a war as a key unit of Korea's massive punishment and retaliation, you must become the world's strongest Special Operations Unit to swiftly eliminate the enemy leadership, he said, during a visit to the Commando Unit Southeast of Seoul in Incheon. Korea's massive punishment and retaliation is South Korea's Defence Doctrine for delivering a debilitating retaliatory strike in response to a North Korean attack. It's part of Seoul's three-axis system for deterring a new war with Pyongyang, which also includes preemptively eliminating a North Korean missile launch and shooting down missiles in flight. Shin made his visit to the Special Forces Command amid South Korea's ongoing Freedom Shield military exercise with the US military. Kim has called such joint exercises a rehearsal for invasion of North Korea and a provocation of war. The two Koreas have technically been at war for over seven decades after their 1950 to 1953 conflict ended with an armistice rather than a peace agreement. In Seoul's latest drills with US troops, Special Forces have worked on infiltrating key command facilities and paralyzing their operations, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported. The South Korean Army Special Warfare Command said it's preparing for various provocations from the North including terrorist attacks. We will move in, strongly suppress them and punish them until the end. Shin, the Defence Chief, also visited a key wartime command bunker in Songnam just south of Seoul. He said the joint exercise will hone operations to neutralise the North Korean nuclear and missile network at an early stage and attack the enemy in all areas including land, sea, air, space, cyber and electromagnetic waves. We need to further strengthen our capabilities so that we can overwhelm them.
