All right Mopar fam we are back in project storm and we have the PLX gauge and pillar completely installed. Still got a lot more to go on this project we still got another gauge to put in which is the boost gauge. We still got the supercharger obviously to get in not to mention the water methanol injection kit and some other goodies. As you can see we got her lighting up and we're gonna fire the truck up. Oh yeah project storm getting it done and we have a wideband ladies and gentlemen. Today we have project storm in the shop. This is day one of starting supercharger control storm supercharger build and a whole lot of other goodies. So today we're going to be working on getting the PLX wideband gauge installed along with the gauge pod pillar and getting the O2 bomb welded into the exhaust for the PLX AFR gauge. So that's pretty much what we're working on today we're going to get all that stuff set up wired up ready to roll right now. All right so we're getting ready to take off the factory window pillar here has the hand grip we got to remove that so we can put in the automator gauge pod that's pretty much easy removal you pop off those little tabs with a flat head screwdriver that's hanging right here and then there's a couple of bolts that holds it on I believe it's 10 millimeters is what he's got in his hand right here so that's all that holds it on other than that it pretty much pulls out from there and that's it so now we're gonna get our gauges get everything laid out and get ready for the automator pillar so we are back here with project storm and like I said we're going to be putting in this automator gauge pod that is the one screw they supply you and that's what holds it in and then we got the PLX gauge the wideband gauge trusted by tuners baby oh yeah that's the best AFR gauge as far as I'm concerned lots and lots of people run this gauge and they absolutely love it so that's what we're installing today and then this is the boost gauge I'm not sure if we're going to get to this one today or not but the goal today is to get this installed get the wideband completely installed and the O2 bong welded to the exhaust pipe with the sensor installed so that's the ultimate goal today as we really don't need this yet till we get the supercharger on but that's what we're shooting for trying to get the wideband done and get this done and that'll be a good start to project storm and we are going to go straight to welding on the bong the bong that we ordered additionally additional with the PLX gauge it don't come with one so if you need one you're going to have to order it separately or pick one up somewhere else but it's just a basic steel bong that we're going to weld on to the exhaust pipe in order to thread in our O2 sensor for the PLX wideband gauge all right we are going to put our O2 sensor on the passenger side over here so we got our tire off and our fender liner out and we're going to drill into the pipe so we can put in uh weld in our bong as you can see we're going to do this spot right there right above the calic converter and uh that's where our sensor is going to go so we're going to get that drilled in and then weld in the bong install the uh O2 sensor and then show you what it all looks like when we're done all right move our fan we got a great big ass hole drilled in our exhaust pipe as you can see i'm going to zoom in there hot damn that's a big hole all right and then we got our uh our uh bong our bong hold it's going to go right there and we're going to weld that on right there over the hole that's where our sensor is going to go so that'll uh be the next step we're going to get the welder out start welding up and then uh we'll get the sensor in i'll show you what it looks like our bong hold is welded up try to zoom in up here for you uh zoom in focus there we go got it welded up and now it's time to put the sensor in this is the plx wideband O2 sensor it's going to thread right into the bong we just welded on just like so there you go that's what it's going to look like in the pipe and again this is the passenger side with the fender liner out and the tire off you can get to it pretty easy to be able to drill the hole and weld it um obviously if you can't do the welding part of it go to the exhaust shop and they can figure it out for you and get that sensor in not a big deal so now that we got this in we're going to work we're going to go back on the inside of the truck start working on uh running power a power source and running our gauge up to our pillar and our power up to the pillar and then start routing our wiring from the plx box down to our O2 sensor right here all right now we're on the inside of the truck and what we're trying to do now is run well first we need a switched 12 volt power supply to run our plx gauge and not to mention our boost gauge light and our water meth uh injection light when we get everything installed up here in the pillar so what we're doing is kind of like what i did in frostbite this is the 12 volt cigar or lighter plug or whatever you want to call it for the uh console here as you can see and they have the key on there because that tells you that this has no power unless the key is on and that's kind of what we're looking for um so we're going to tap into this with a little scotch connector one of these guys right here we're going to tap into the power wire which is this looks like a purple or a blue pink wire i just tested it with an o meter to find out which one is the power wire the black one is obviously the ground so we're going to tap into that wire with a scotch connector and run our own wire behind the dash here going all the way up to the pillar so that we have a 12 volt supply for our gauges so when the keys on our gauges will light up and we have a power supply uh that's kind of how i did it on frostbite i use the factory uh cigarette lighter plug or whatever as it's already got its own fuse and all that stuff from the factory so it works out pretty nice and it only works when the key is on so that's another plus so that's where we're at now we're going to go ahead and tap into this wire and then run our wire up to our pillar and then start working on these gauges all right mo pa fan we got our little red wire you see here tapped in to the cigarette lighter or power outlet supply right here wire runs behind the dash and then it's coming up to where our pillar is going to be all this extra red wire so we have a 12 volt power source going up here so that we can tap all of our gauges into it so we have light power and uh that's where we're at so we're going to keep on moving on show you the next step all right guys hopefully the fan's not too loud we are under the truck i just wanted to show you this little plug so there's a little floor plug right here that's underneath the driver's seat that we popped out and this is our o2 sensor wiring that's going to run all the way to the actual o2 sensor in the exhaust pipe on the passenger side so under the seat there's a little plug you can pop out and run your wiring underneath the truck over the top of the transmission and we're going to run it over the top of the frame here over the top of the transmission and then route it over to our passenger side header and then our o2 sensor is right there that we added on as you can see it up there so that's uh how we're going to route our wiring sorry for all the movement but we're doing this on the ground pull boy style there's a wire that's going to be plugging into the plx box right here and we'll just have this sitting under the seat like we do on frostbite and like i said there's the carpet from the factory the carpet's already cut right here so it's a good spot to run any wiring or anything like that and uh that's what we're going to do so moving on up we got our plx gauge uh jammed in the pod right now we got the wiring coming out the back of it so we're getting ready to wire it up we got the plx box so pretty much now it's just a matter of uh hooking up the o2 sensor wiring plugging in the box and then running power and ground to our plx box and then just kind of tucking everything up nice and neat and putting a pillar on so there we go continue on all right mobile par fam we are back and we are pretty much done with the plx install like i showed you earlier we got the gauge installed in the pillar everything is plugged up we have our power wire that we added and what we have done is i took a little connector here little butt connector we ran our main power wire and our plx power wire together and we butt connector pinched them together right here we left this side open because obviously we still have a boost gauge to install plus the water method the water method injection light to power up as well so we will have this open to be able to tap in so we have power that's very easy to get to up here our pillar and then we just kind of have the rest of the wires here zip tied up they come down here they flow through this little channel and then they go under the carpet here under the seat to the plx box and then uh pretty much it everything will be covered up you won't be able to see nothing once we get the plastic covers back on the truck right here so that's pretty much it guys we are going to go ahead and button this up put the pillar up put all the plastics back on and turn the key on and see if the plx gauge lights up and works we are back in project storm and we have the plx gauge and pillar completely installed still got a lot more to go on this project we still got another gauge to put in which is the boost gauge we still got the supercharger obviously to get in not to mention the water methanol injection kit and some other goodies but right now we got the plx gauge in we're going to turn it on and watch it light up here as you can see we got her lighting up and we're going to fire the truck up oh yeah project storm getting it done and we have a wideband and ladies and gentlemen very good gauge right out of the box you don't have to program calibrate none of that junk it's already done for you plug it up and go so there you go she's uh got a AFR gauge project storm definitely need it when you go boost or add any sort of a supercharger or turbo or anything like that um definitely a must have tool even for the NA guys out there this is definitely worth getting one even if you got an NA build you can really really work on your tuning with when you got an AFR gauge but there you go guys I think that's going to do it for today's video um as always stay safe out there don't forget hit that subscribe button mash that button down there we'll see you on the next one peace


All right, let's take a look at all of these here And it continues. All right, and then we got a character one Okay, I think it's ever so slightly slow that there are two things that struck me I think at the very beginning I would Take out three things. I would take out the texture. Whoops just because If the ball is not rolling and we don't need it just yet It's more fun here to see. I don't think at the beating. It's needed the second thing I would reduce the amount of Squash and stretch it might be okay on the first one Probably okay on the second one but take 10% 10% out of that and then it gets into a Lot of stretching and especially towards the end so something this small It is it just becomes very wiggly So I think once you get to here you really want to start taking 30% 50% out 70% out so then it becomes just a bit more hard now At the end those bounces become a bit too even It's not too bad, but there's something where you want to go bump bump bump bump bump bump It starts to get faster and faster and right now it's a bit too slow towards the end Even these guys are pretty Slow, but it's okay to distance pretty far, but then as you get to round to me seems like around here That's kind of the timing that I would have And just randomly let me just check this is going to be very boring to watch but I would like to Timing no No, can I undo it? Yes, I can No, oh I Need to work on my Wacom tablet Skills here should see my fingers. They're Creeping this so tightly All right, let's take this So you can see how this the spacing is getting bigger, but I think you can exaggerate it It does have a slight feel of evenness to it and Looking at the arcs are pretty okay. There's a slight feel of This being your arc at this very sloppy, but where you can go a bit more exaggerated than the roundness to me It feels like They're ever so slightly too straight That makes sense. So instead of Big bounces like that. They're almost a bit too flat there That coupled with the pretty even timing where I think you can you can exaggerate these Where it really accelerates and then even at the end where the hang time is a bit more even Sorry, those lines are getting blurred here But my point is that during the easing and out and on the apex side you want to Reason and point point point so you can exaggerate the the hang time just a bit more That will give you just a bit more snappiness Especially towards the ends it gets a bit too slow. The distance is a bit wide.  How far this ball travels That would be probably my biggest thing on top of the The squash and stretch which I think is a bit too big. This one I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to be because right now imagine this is your Your edge here goes It's a bit of a mix between a squishy ball Almost like a character ball because of how long you're keeping the contact point here This seems very deliberate versus if this was something really heavy. I would take out the squash the stretch and the squash here Keep this over one frame. So one frame bam next frame already back up And where's your down here here In your height so imagine this is a a bowling ball You know, I would go maybe this high Bam and then the next one may be this high. That's it and then maybe roll till here So that's my biggest thing for my question for you What type of ball Do you want to do here? I say for if you start out with bouncing balls I would look at something light which you have here and then quite the opposite that's something heavy So I would treat this as a bowling ball. So it's just A bit of a roll and a slight roll back Ever so slightly and then this one is pretty cute though. This is your character ball You could even on this anticipation there you can almost See if it becomes too weekly, but you could almost have a lean back And then as you hold this hold this for a couple more frames and start leaning forward Then you can go out here I'll be like this here. I like your contrast here of here. There's a lot of rotation there And then probably once you get to here Boom This seems like you're almost starting to go this way And then it lands straight where I would probably go lands here And then does this and finishes here nice Hang time there and there's watches again one two three It's a bit even in timing one two three four almost, huh? So you could you could exaggerate a couple of things if you're going into Character stuff. So again, I'm doing Some ghosting here. This is a perspective mode. It might be with skew, but you can see how This is the first level This is the second level of height there Third one is around here Last one is good. That's lower. So there is contrast, but I think you can exaggerate the height differences So if you imagine you're having a long anticipation here, which gives you that really high jump Then from here it could be Something a bit lower and then How high again, not what I'm doing right here, but you go maybe up to here And then that something like this or maybe then it would land here So first second then you lands here Then it would be here and then I'll be here. That seems pretty Uneven and contrasty and then height wise that could be interesting and the rotations are cube because that's your big difference there You can almost have if it goes from here Almost like that a tiny one here and careful with sticky contacts because you have one two three Three of those It gives it a certain amount of life, but to me it's always when it's that sticky and needs to be On purpose where it almost wants to hold to then Do something more unexpected. So jumps hold to go somewhere else where you would expect Almost like a regular bounce in direction. You would hold to do something different So to me, I would hold this more to start with as you patient and do your jumps. I think even this one That's two of those Yeah, a lot of A lot of stickiness there It gives it a certain feel but I'm I usually kind of tend to be on the less sticky side unless it's on purpose if that makes sense So it's it's a bounce unless you want to stop and hold to go somewhere Or really hold that squash to go higher To me, I would always put those stickiness the sticky frames there for a reason That's about it It's a great start. So I would just look at your weight for something very light and something very heavy to make that just mostly just um Terms, you know, it's so it's purely physics And weight properties whereas this one is cartoony working to whatever you want So what I meant the first one is would be traditional basketball type of weight The other one up to really heavy through something really heavy like a bowling ball Cannonball or something Um, and then that would be your middle where it's you can do kind of whatever you want. It's character-wise. All right.

A Brainerd man escaped without serious injuries after accidentally driving his vehicle through a second-story garage in Mississippi Terence Apartments in Southwest Brainerd. As you can see from this video from Forum News Service, he ended up slamming into the pavement below. It happened yesterday around 3 p.m. Brainerd police sergeant Paul Dooley told Forum News Service the man was unfamiliar with the vehicle and accidentally pressed the gas instead of the brake causing the jeep to crash. Dooley said the man had unknown injuries and was treated on the scene and released.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here so I'm talking about scream six in this video here today primarily and Going over this original first victim that we would have learned about I guess during our killer reveal that we got in the movie Related to our trio of Baileys, but before I dive into that I'm going to talk about this report that's coming from bloody disgusting who's getting it from Jeff Snyder who reported it on above The line confirming that Linda Blair was indeed involved with the upcoming Exorcist sequel that's coming later this year from David Gordon Green Jeff Snyder reported that Linda Blair will reprise her role as Reagan McNeil above the line has exclusively learned this sources say that Blair was only On set for a few days, so she's not in the film all that much but her return to the franchise should make fans headspin Should make fans headspin with the excitement. It's worth noting that a Blumhouse spokesperson only confirmed to Snyder that Blair served as an Advisor on the new movie refusing to confirm or deny an on-screen appearance. I'm expecting her to appear in the movie I learned about her involvement a few months ago granted They didn't necessarily say that she would appear on screen, but learning that she's involved That would then lead you to assume she would appear on screen in some capacity So my whole thing with Reagan returning going off of the synopsis that we have the brief Synopsis that we have plot details that tells us that the character played by Odom junior is gonna be the father of a possessed child That's for her help. He tracks down Reagan's mother who we know is played by burstin so Reagan and her capacity of involvement like I predicted in another video most likely will relate to just teaming up with her mother for a Brief second or maybe Reagan shows up as like a last-minute savior of the movie and sacrifices herself To save the new kid depending on how it's executed on screen That might be something that could be underwhelming because you just had her come in to die But given the context and how it's executed it could go over very well I do think Linda Blair will appear on screen as Reagan Even though they didn't specifically tell Jeff Snyder dis I'm expecting Linda to return as Reagan later this October When this movie drops you guys can let me know down below in the comment section if you're excited to see her back I think this is her first time back since the Original sequel I was wanting to say the first movie, but I think she was actually in that sequel It's just been a while since I've watched those sequels. I just mostly adore that first movie I'm being honest jumping into scream six Apparently There was a bit of dialogue according to liana liberado in this article from collider this interview collider. She did According to liana liberado There was once a few lines explaining how mother Bailey was the new ghost faces first victim as the poor woman didn't want to get along With father Bailey's murderous plans.  She's saying that this was Bailey and Ethan You guys want it revenge for Richie being killed by Sam So you take out another family member because they're not down for the cause. It's a little counterproductive So yes, I am glad that this was cut I also am glad that it was cut because I am on the same page with a lot of you Don't get me wrong.  I don't really care there But some people do not like my review because of the fact that I still gave the movie a high score despite my gripes with it The gripes that I have with it are pretty much in line with some of you who are giving it a low score The unanswered questions that are piling up in the movie. They are a bit You could have avoided a lot of them. I won't I won't deny that but there are a lot of them that to me they're not so Important to the overall grand scheme of things like the fact that one that I know you could argue is very important but still something that Could happen is just highly unlikely the fact that Gail didn't know about Richie's father Kirby didn't know about Richie's father Or I guess you could even say that none of them learned about Richie's father because this man managed to stay out of the media There's ways for for this to be Likely but if you're thinking about it in ways that make it unlikely, of course that unanswered question would bother you Like how did Gail write a book and not know about Richie's parents? So if you would have threw in a line saying that oh, we actually took out our mother Because she didn't want to go along what we were down for that would have raised another unanswered question like the fact that okay Well, who who is this woman? Why didn't the news mention her? Why didn't anyone in this movie see anything online and where about About this kill like why wasn't it broadcasted or I mean honestly again? That's me raising questions thinking about it in a logical fashion they could have killed her and because of Because of the circumstances like people can literally be killed and the bodies could just be found days later so if they revealed this to us during their monologue and Knowing that nobody had any type of news coverage or we didn't see any news coverage of this During the movie prior to them dropping a bombshell like that that they took out their own mother The safe logical thing to assume would be that okay They must have did this recently and no one found her body Because there's a lot of things with scream 6. I'm not gonna disc discredit people who say this There's a lot of things with scream 6 that are unanswered that I know could have been Avoided if it was written a little better in certain departments. I'm just not one of those people who think that the script was the worst thing ever There's a lot of great pros about the script and like I said before during my spoiler free review There's a lot of weaknesses to the script I was even expecting the script to be the biggest issue with the movie because to me personally when I watch a lot of movies That tends to be the biggest issue for most movies with me is the script sometimes it could be the acting sometimes It could be the directing but usually to me I find most problems with the scripts or just how they might be being conveyed on screen to me Which could tie into the direction that that's that they chose to take the script in But not having this line in the movie I think was for the best because it would have just added on to the already list of unanswered questions people have that Bothered them with scream 6 so you guys let me know that in the comment section below Are you glad we didn't get a line about Richie's mother who I would assume? This is Richie's mother You could also assume that they don't have the same mother There's this very well possible that Wayne had had Richie with a different woman Just like he had Ethan and Quinn with a different woman possibly I think there was actually a scene that Dermot or somebody pointed out a scene in which Dermot and Kirby were Interacting and he told Kirby. Hey, my wife divorced me after my son died because she couldn't bear to look at me after After he died because she said I reminded her too much of him So the pain was too strong and too much for her So she divorced him that was cut and I think they kept in of course the line We know Quinn said oh my my after my brother died my dad became super clingy stuff like that So if you would have had another line like that that would have just tied those two and together made them more suspicious So there's a lot of stuff with scream 6 that was cut But knowing that they cut out this mention of an oath of a first victim being their mother I'm glad that was cut because it would just add it to the unanswered question I don't find it to be all that necessary to drop a line like that Let me know what y'all think about this down in the comments below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post Notification numbers video in the description. I'll have links on my social media accounts I'm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know as any movies news or views let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind Guys, I will see you in the next video


When Jesus came to earth with this beautiful message of salvation and happiness and joy and peace and gentleness 2,000 years ago, what he had to share was so deep and was so profound that basically he had to do most of his teachings in parables. The Holy Spirit gave him parables to share because the teachings were so otherworldly. They were so beyond what this time-space world had heard ever before or I would say since. We haven't really heard the depth of that teaching, the full depth of it since Jesus seemed to appear and he seemed to transmit these teachings from heaven and from absolute perfect oneness and in the many centuries that have come after that we've had there's so many amazing religions. There's beautiful non-dual pathways to God and certainly I have come across many of them, but with the Course in Miracles we have really you might say almost the complete package of everything, the full transmission and the most direct pathway to God I have ever come across. And so in the time of Jesus he basically put the teachings in parables. You know there was a man who had two sons and and then he tells the prodigal son story and it was a beautiful sharing because he was basically teaching with the prodigal son parable that you no matter what you think you've done in time and space you will be welcomed home to eternal love and eternal oneness. No matter what you think you've done, no matter what you've done as you judge it good or bad, right or wrong, you have a heavenly birthright and your reality is eternity and you are not really a creature of time and space, but you are a spirit, the living Christ that is a creation of God.


Thermophiles are organisms that live in hot temperatures, hotter than what would be considered comfortable for humans. Thermophiles are the only organisms that can survive in the temperatures in hot springs, such as this one. The suite of organisms that live in environments not hospitable to humans are called extremophiles. Those that live in cold temperatures are called psychrophiles. Thermophiles love temperatures about 122 degrees Fahrenheit and some have been found to live in temperatures above the boiling point of water. Usually enzymes denature at high temperatures. Most thermophiles are microbial, but some multicellular species live in these high temperatures. A common non-bacterial thermophile is blue-green algae, which you will see growing on surfaces of hot springs. The various colors viewed in hot springs are either mineral accumulations or thermophiles with some photosynthetic properties. Since discovery, thermophiles have become extremely important for medical and biotechnology. Their unique enzymes make them irreplaceable in high-temperature reactions like copying DNA. These properties have also advanced the food, clothing, and fiber industries to name a few. Although human plants and wildlife are not considered thermophiles, we all enjoy the warm temperatures of hot springs.

Alright you guys I want to show you a little trick. You can see this has a name on it.  It's not completely off, but it is definitely Better let's try it again and see if we can get it completely off Looks pretty good, right? You can still see it slightly But overall I might hit it one more time, but that's how you remove marker from a plastic toy. Thanks for watching


The Last of Us 2 is an incredible game, from its refined gameplay to its stunning visuals. However, I feel the story doesn't hit the way the writers intended it to. It ends up falling flat, and ultimately I feel it disrespectful to the original story, the characters, and even the fans. As an isolated experience, The Last of Us 2 is, as I said, an incredible game. But as a sequel, not so much. Now the internet is looking for any excuse to hate on this game right now. And honestly, I don't want to add to it. My opinions on the story are my own, and while I don't agree with the direction they took or what they did with the characters, I can respect that Naughty Dog took a risk and tried something different.  I would rather just sit here and say, hey, the story wasn't for me. There is still a lot to adore about Last of Us 2, and I feel like the good parts of the game are being over shrouded by the negative.  I've had a guitar my whole life, and I've never taken the time to learn how to play it. But I thought it'd be cool to sit here. The visuals are gorgeous, with this one shot on the farm being one of the most stunning locations I have ever seen in a video game. The Last of Us is an extremely linear adventure, so it's much easier to create these beautiful set pieces for us to explore section by section, and Naughty Dog did a fantastic job at building these breathtaking atmospheres. The gameplay feels very similar to the original game, in fact, hey, Abby, you mind keeping it down? Oh my gosh, I'm trying to defend this game, you can show me a little bit of respect at least. Anyway, the gameplay feels very similar to the original game, but with a lot of added features and ultimately just a lot more weight behind it. They added the ability to dodge, which I love. I went back and played the original, and now I already miss that dodge mechanic. As well as some new weapons and craftable items, the biggest change would be the ability to go prone. Leading to new stealth options hiding in grass or underneath objects, I feel like the original Last of Us already had stealth gameplay that was ahead of its time, and actually fun. And this new one goes even further to refine that gameplay, leading to some very rewarding action. Oh, you're kinda snuck up on me there. I am very, very sneaky, sir. I see that. The game has incredible level design, with each new area having multiple buildings for you to explore and different parts to take. It's always interesting to see how different players work their way around each individual level. The cutscenes blend into the gameplay is impressively seamless and almost impossible for me to catch the moment that it bleeds over. This is one of the many examples of how extremely immersive this game is from start to finish. The attention to detail is incredible.  Like most games forget to add the rest of that sound, but Naughty Dog remembers. I would say that the most unrealistic part of this game is that someone still playing the PlayStation Vita in 2020. I get that it's an apocalypse, but you don't have to sink that low. I guess the Switch never came out in this universe, so they are kinda screwed. The PlayStation Vita fans hate me now, although if there's one other thing that's more unrealistic than that, it's where does all these scar characters get their matching coats from? It's an apocalypse. What did they do? Raider Leather Store? Can we just snoop around a little bit? We can snoop around, but I should be wearing the duster. No, I'm wearing the duster. That's the end of the game. I still highly recommend everyone play this game, but nothing else to behold the beauty that is the last of us Part 2. It's a game that makes me feel like I don't even need PlayStation 5. I don't need a new generation of consoles. Just keep giving me games like this. We're already there. I love that. Oh, let me play a funky beat. This next part's gonna be rough. You know, I did actually learn a few songs at one point, but it's the same songs I always relearn like two years later and then forget them again. That's not one. Wait, there was one that was like, great song. Love it. Anyway, now that I got you all warmed up, I can't really talk about the story without getting negative. I was just disappointed by it. I don't feel like it hit the way that they wanted it to hit. I never came around to liking, okay, let's screw it, spoiler alert. If you haven't played the game or you haven't read the leaks and you're in that 5% of people that don't know what happens, let's just skip this part. I never came around on Abby. I don't think they sold her to me at all. I could tell what they were trying to do. They were trying to relate her to Ellie and show that she's really not that different, but she killed Joel. I think Naughty Dog and its writing team grossly underestimated how much we love Joel because I'd give my right liver for that guy. People have two livers moving on. So rather than breaking down the entire story, I'm just going to talk about the three main characters and why each one disappointed me. And again, this is just my interpretation and how I experienced the game. It's a very polarizing adventure and many people see different sides. And I think that's because a lot of people connect with this story in different ways. I think it's easy to bring your own personal life experiences into a story of this scope. And just because I feel one way, it doesn't invalidate, it should not and does not invalidate the way you feel about it. And please feel free to leave your interpretation of the story down below. This is just briefly my interpretation of these three characters. There's a lot more I could say and I might dive into it more on my streams when I play through this game if that ever happens. Let me pretend to play the guitar and we'll start with Joel. Joel's death was handled poorly.  This is just zombie-esque apocalypse 101 things you don't do. When you meet a group of strangers, you should be really cautious and learn everything you can about them before you're alone in a room with them and before you invite them back to your community. We've all watched Walking Dead. We know this by now. Joel knows this by now. He taught Ellie everything she knows and in a way taught us everything we know about this world. He knows better.  I know many people are mad at Abby for killing Joel, but I'm mad at Joel for killing Joel.  That's lazy. There's more I could say about Joel since he only had a couple hours in this story. I feel like he was really swept under the rug not only by Ellie, but by the game itself. Alright, Abby, she doesn't really have much of a personality. Right now, honestly try and think, what's a couple things Abby likes? I don't really know what she likes. I don't really know what she's about. And most of her story is spent in a love triangle with two other very boring characters. And this was hard for me to sit through as we already had a pregnant love triangle with Ellie's character. And I found it weird that they did this same story twice. And I get that this could have been to show these two characters have something in common, but banging somebody else's boyfriend or ex-girlfriend doesn't really make me like either of these characters more or understand either of their past actions any clearer. So they both liked someone that liked someone else. Isn't that everyone? I don't think that's really an uncommon thing that these two had that was specific to them. And I know Abby had a whole nother thing at the tail end there with a couple of kids she saved, but they saved her first. So, you know, eye for an eye. Now they're square. That doesn't justify everything else Abby did. You know what? I'm about to say it. I don't care that you broke your elbow. And Ellie loses sight of herself completely. We as players already understand and forgave Joel seven years ago for what he did, but Ellie can't seem to understand that he loves her and can't bear to live without her. Even though he's told her that multiple times. Ultimately at the point where she was on that table, Ellie was unconscious and couldn't make the choice for herself whether she lived or died for a good cause. If she had made that decision for herself and then Joel, whatever. Okay, I get that.  But he found out while she was under and he said, no, thank you.  Morals aside, yes, there are wrong things here. They're the right things here. But everyone, you and I, we can all get on the same page with seeing why he did that and understanding completely why he did. Ellie just doesn't seem to understand why.  Her relationship was already severed, casting aside everything we experienced in the first game and now she'll never have a chance to make it right. Abby didn't take Joel away from her. Abby took away Ellie's chance at being a decent human being. Ellie, time and time again throughout this story, shows how much of a petty selfish person she is. The Ellie we met in the first game was raised and taught by Joel. Joel would have done anything to save that kid and he did.  She's clearly changed. And even though there's a spark of Joel left in her at this moment that she clearly saw at the last minute and realized that this isn't what Joel would have done or what Joel would have wanted, I really don't care for her anymore at this point. So, for me, that was how they ruined two of my favorite characters in a video game at once and added a third character who I also really didn't care for much. As I said, the game itself is fantastic and it's a complete marvel to behold. I just didn't agree with the story and that's just how I interpreted it. I might play through again in a couple years and have a different experience altogether. All right, whatever. You know what? Let's open this big box.  I don't know. It feels like I'm ruining it. We got the art of last of us. Isn't that nice? That's nice, isn't it? Stillbook case. A bit of a spoiler there on the other side, but oh well. Oh, this is actually pretty neat.  Yeah, but where's the good thing? I want the good thing. I care about no pins. This box is confusing. Here we go. Oh, whoa. This is actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Wow, that's actually pretty neat. That's actually pretty neato. Doesn't really look like Ellie, does it? Kind of, I guess. A little bit more like Ellen Page, then. Well, that's neat. Kind of feel like half the statue is missing. Sense. You know. Well, I'd love to know your opinion on the game down below. If you like this video, then like it. Again, you can have a different opinion. I'd love to hear it. Bye.

many objects or causes from that which is overwhelmingly vast and mighty to that which is productive of momentary physical pain in its higher uses dread approaches the meaning of awe but with more of chilliness and cowering and without that subjection of soul to the grandeur and worthiness of the object that is involved in awe is preoccupied with the object that inspires it dread with apprehension

but undeliberation is found to be susceptible to pardon excusable is scarcely applied to offenses but to matters open to doubt or criticism rather than direct censure so used it often falls little

letters on the page thus oral applies to that which is given by spoken words and distinction from that which is written or printed as oral tradition and oral examination by this rule we shouldn't strictly speak of an oral contract or an oral message but verbal contract and verbal message as indicating that which is spoken rather than by written words have become so fixed in the language that they can probably never be changed this usage is also in line with other idioms of the language as quote i give you my word end quote quote a true man's word is as good as his bond end quote quote my

largely with the view of avoiding loss and injury wisdom transcends prudence so that while the part of prudence is ordinarily also that of wisdom cases arise as in the exigencies of business or of war when the highest wisdom is in the disregard of the maxims of prudence judgment the power of forming decisions especially correct decisions is broader and more positive than prudence leading one to do as readily as to refrain from doing but judgment is more limited in range and less exalted in character than wisdom to say of one that he displayed good judgment is much less than to say that he manifested wisdom skill is far inferior to wisdom consisting largely in the practical application of acquired knowledge power and habitual processes or in the ingenious contrivance that makes such

Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Give the people what they want. Your weekly movement news roundup. Well, it's show number 138. You always give the people what they want. Brought to you from People's Dispatch. Today it's just Zoe. Prashant is off for the day. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter. Happy to be with you to bring you the stories from around the world that matter. Real stories. Not fake news, as they say, or not cooked up stories that make no sense. It would be strange for us on this show not to address a story that started last week, last Saturday. In fact, it would be very strange not to address it because we're implicated in the story. No journalist likes to cover themselves. That's a very strange thing. And no journalist likes to be the story. They want to cover the story. On the other hand, the leading paper in the United States, the paper that after all brought you the US war on Iraq, the illegal war. That is to say the New York Times ran what it called an investigation into money given by one person. Neville Roy Singham to a foundation which funded projects that some of us work with my own Institute Tri-Continental and so on. Well, it was not really the best story and I shouldn't be the judge of this because I'm a character in the story. Nonetheless, I didn't feel it was a great story turned out that the Indian government thought it was a terrific story. And the Minister of Information and Broadcasting wielded that piece of paper and gave a press conference where he decided to bring this New York Times story into a completely different context. You need to understand that in India, there's a parliamentary election next year in the interim in the lead up to that opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of the Congress Party has been gaining popularity largely because of his Bharat Joro Yatra where he walked from one end of the country to the other. Mr Gandhi, a scion of the Gandhi family's father is Rajiv Gandhi, his mother, his grandmother is Indira Gandhi, his great grandfather is Jawaharlal Nehru, Indus first Prime Minister, striking that this is the fourth generation of Gandhi aspiring to be the Prime Minister of India. Mr Gandhi's popularity has been increasing in order to undercut him. The Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Anurag went out in public and said that Mr Gandhi is somehow linked to a plot regarding the Chinese government baffling connections made by the minister but nonetheless those were the connections. One of the reasons that the Indian government picked up this story was that Mr Gandhi was supposed to return to parliament after he had been quote unquote expelled from parliament for reasons that are by themselves quite baffling he had criticized the connection between the Indian government and a big business tycoon named Gautam Adani. Now the Supreme Court had asked for Mr Gandhi to be returned to parliament and in anticipation of his return and a motion of no confidence against the government of Narendra Modi this was in a sense inflamed as a great scandal and so on. Well, Mr Gandhi did return to parliament did speak did give a pretty good speech about half an hour speech where he laid out his criticisms of the government. The government on the other hand banging on this drum, you know, in flaming the situation and driving the investigative services to go after an organization with which we partner with which we have, you know, had a long association. That's the media house in India called NewsClick. The press council of India came out to condemn the attacks once more on NewsClick. The various editors in the country of some standing have stood up and said this is outrageous. A very tense time in India for journalists as you know, the Indian government passed two, you know, one amendment and a law, which really should have been the focus of attention this week, but got really a free pass. And that is the amendment to the Forest Conservation Act and the amendment to the Mines and Mineral Development and Regulation Act of 1980. Now, you might say, well, gosh, those sound really esoteric. Not if you are an indigenous inhabitant of the forests of India, not if you are the forest themselves. This is a direct attack on India's forests on conservation and so on. Very little coverage of that. Meanwhile, lots of coverage about a story that doesn't exist, but is now taken over in many ways the news channels are passing through emails leaked by Indian intelligence to the news channel. No mediation. Very little critical voice. Uncomfortable strange situation. Not as strange Zoe as a situation in Ecuador. Terrible to have such an incident in the lead up to an election. Tell us what happened in Ecuador. Well, on August 9th, a presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was shot dead after a campaign rally that he was holding in a high school in the capital of the country keto. And last week we spoke about this very worrying and concerning rise in violence in the country, the rise in violent crime that many attribute to the kind of attack on the institutions of the country the cutting of social programs. Alongside the empowerment of criminal groups. Very, very difficult situation as we said, the amount of prison massacres have been taking place all of these indexes are kind of on the rise and in this context is when Fernando Villavicencio is shot dead and murdered. There's many following the moment of his death, thousands and thousands of theories came out, some people blaming the left, some people blaming the right. But I think what's true is that it is just another kind of inflection point in in throwing Ecuador into an increased crisis. This is following the murder of Fernando Villavicencio, Guillermo Lasso, once again, instituted a state of emergency, it's almost hard to count how many states of emergency have been implemented in this small Andean country over the past two years, because of gang violence, because of prison violence, because of, you know, they're not able to be getting a handle over the country. And so, once again, Ecuador is in a state of emergency. Some people speculated that these early elections that have been called by Guillermo Lasso when he dissolved the parliament would be maybe postponed. It seems like elections are on they're going to be held on August 20. But of course, this is a moment of great tension. All of the candidates have already expressed their condolences and also condemned as atrocious act of violence. There have been once we reported last week about the amount of these videos that are circulating on social media, allegedly released by these gangs, you know, saying different things to the public once again, another video, which people may have seen on Twitter has been circulating. The veracity of this video is quite questionable has been widely condemned to being fake. But again, it shows about 20 people masked holding machine guns and saying that this was because of lack of payments of promises that were not fulfilled on, and that the other presidential candidate young topic who's actually a mercenary who's fought in the French Legion, allegedly in Ukraine and the Sahel, which we're going to get to in a bit later is the next victim. And so, again, this video is quite dubious. Many people have said that it is completely fake. But I think it really speaks to this, this climate that's being created in Ecuador of fear of increased violence of anything can happen to anyone. Not it's not only that this violence is taking place in the prisons where again hundreds of people have been killed. You know, in this situation, but again, it's in the cities. Another candidate had already been killed to the mayor of one of the largest cities in the country has also been murdered in these past couple of weeks so very, very concerning situation. This is a citizen revolution movement party has been very sharp in condemning this and linking it to again this institutional breakdown, the deterioration of socioeconomic conditions. Many on the right are using this incident to say that, look, this is why we need an increased security state, we need more police, we need more military. So once again, events like these really shift the public discourse. They throw a lot into the balance. And again, we're just three days away. Sorry, 10 days away from these general elections, early general elections called by Guillermo lasso. So we'll be we'll be following this closely and hoping that the situation of violence does not continue to escalate. Very troubling situation in Ecuador, violence like this of course, disturbs the body politic it chills people reduces their faith and trust in in their systems. Very true in Africa, if we move now to the central belt of Africa on Thursday, August 10. The meeting of eco was which is the economic community of West Africa and countries around there. Nigeria's president, taking the lead in this meeting Bola to new boo, talking about the importance of eco was this body of the African middle intervening in Niger. This is interesting, we've talked a lot about what's been happening in the Sahel region of Africa, Niger, the country with the United States largest drone base in Agadez, Niger, a country that provides France with a great amount of its uranium for its nuclear power plants, and so on very key country in the interdiction program of Europe to stop migrants entering the Sahara into Libya towards Subhag going up to the border lines of Libya and the Mediterranean and then crossing the Mediterranean. In fact, Niger is like zero point for the Europeans, as I mentioned before, artificial intelligence surveillance technology which is banned in Europe, used in countries like Niger to track migrants and stop them. It's a key country for the West and the Western state a lot on it. But of course conditions in Niger have deteriorated that uranium which Niger is famous for has not actually benefited the people of Niger it is benefited the people of France and so on great animosity and anger in the form of French colonies 50% of their gold reserves have to be held in Paris. That kind of thing irks the consciousness. So there was the military coup, you know people are not sure why was there a military coup. Well, that's because other avenues for politics are foreclosed to many people of the low middle class peasant backgrounds and so on it's these people from those communities that the ranks of the mid level of the military come, you know the captains and up to perhaps the nationals. It's these people that have been conducting the coups in the Sahel whether it's the recent one in Niger or the coup in Mali the coup in Burkina Faso, the coup in Guinea, foreclosed political options for these young men in particular, they go through the country to try to establish their goals what are they interested in they say we want to better fight Al Qaeda half of Mali taken over by Al Qaeda forces, and we want a better deal for our countries we don't want to lease the wealth to Europe we want to tackle basic problems, quite a reasonable agenda that they have set for themselves nothing great echo was meeting on the 10th of August, made a decision which I think is going to become a quite a problem for the region. The echo has decided that they want their military forces to be on standby, in other words, to be prepared at any point to intervene militarily into Niger. This is of course very chilling because the armies of Burkina Faso and Mali have said that if there is a military in Niger, they will enter conflict or wider conflict to prevent that. At the same time, the government in Niger is said that if the military enters Niger they will kill the former head of government, Mohammed Bazoum, who is being held by the government in a way as a kind of hostage I think the way we talked about, but stunningly in the middle of all this, the European Union special representative for the Sahel, Emmanuel Del Ray, gave an interview to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, where Emmanuel Del Ray said the impact of the sanctions she's talking about Niger is becoming palpable. The scarcity of medicine and food has reached alarming levels, while power outages are more frequent than ever. And this is what she said, I want to underline this, if we want the junta to weaken, we must persist with these sanctions. I mean, it's pretty extraordinary that there she is laying out the agenda, medicines are scarce, food is scarce, power outages frequent and then she says let's harden the sanctions against Niger, it's going to help us. This is an all out war on Niger and I think what we're seeing from the people in Niger, massive support for this coup d'etat, what we're seeing with them is that the contradictions of their own lives are manifesting themselves quite openly in this direct confrontation between the new government in Niger and Ecovast. This is in a way the front line of the contradiction that is there in the Sahel. There's been talk between Guinea, Burkina Faso and Mali about creating a federation, a federation of these countries going back, to the Malian Federation of the 1950s. If Niger enters this process of conversation, I'm very interested to see whether it enters and if it enters, what will this imply? Right now, of course, very tense situation on the border between Nigeria and Niger, the troops are amassing from Ecovast, hope very much that this doesn't escalate, but there's a way found to de-escalate the situation. You're listening to give the people what they want, brought to you from people's dispatch today, it's just Zoe Prashant is off for the day. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter. We come to you every week, people-centered stories, that's what we're interested in. Only the people up front, not the people in power. We tell their stories, but from the angle of the people. Zoe, coming back to violence, and I know there's been a lot in South America recently, presidential candidate killed in Ecuador, as you said, violence in Argentina, violence in Brazil. Give us a sense, kind of scanner of the violence in South America. Yeah, I would love to give more upbeat stories today, but it's been a very intense week, and it started with the murder of a 13-year-old boy, and I say boy to emphasize that because that's not how the police would talk about him. So a 13-year-old boy, Thiago Flossino, on Monday morning, very, very early in the morning, 13 years old, he's killed by the military police in a drug operation in a city, a neighborhood some might be familiar with from the Brazilian movie City of God. This is a favela in Rio, and it's, of course, has many of those challenges that many of those neighborhoods in Rio face, drug trafficking, of course. But along with that heavy, heavy, heavy presence of the military police, we know that in the city of Rio, it is the military police who has been deployed in that city to combat drug trafficking and related violence. And so he is just yet another victim of this war on drugs in the city of Rio, a city where a majority of black and young people have been killed in this war on drugs. This is a story that we've seen before. A 13-year-old killed, and then immediately after mainstream media and the police immediately scrambled to try to say that he was a criminal, that he was involved in different crimes, etc. The family, meanwhile, saying this is a 13-year-old child, of course he was not involved in these activities. And additionally, he does not have to be murdered at point-blank range like he was by the military police. So this has really brought up a lot of emotions and anger in the city, in a place where many, many, many young black people are just, again, murdered by the police, no trial, no sort of sense of justice.  Of course, in the same context, in the same type of neighborhood as where Marielle Franco was assassinated again, someone who actually led one of the commissions to investigate police murders of black people in the city. So it's such an unfortunate situation. And again, it's bringing to the fore these very, very big challenges that Brazil faces. On one hand, a lot of a growth of drug trafficking, of criminal groups. Of course, this has been intensified, made worse with the pandemic, with the socioeconomic breakdown that took place under Michel Temer, under Jair Bolsonaro. Also, Bolsonaro, someone who has greatly benefited from militias whose family has links to militias in Rio de Janeiro. On the other hand, military police presence in neighborhoods across Rio, killing with impunity. Once again, and then the media trying to character assassinate a 13 year old child. So this is, you know, first we have this in Brazil, that's the week starts with that. And then we move then to Argentina, where a different sort of murder or death killing took place of an 11 year old girl on her way to school more than a Dominguez. She was walking to school, two people on a motorcycle attempted to rob her dragged her for half of a block. She collapsed on the ground and essentially, I think she maybe suffered sort of a heart attack and was and died upon reaching the hospital. And this is another death that has really once again shaken the country and we're going to get to another one in Argentina in a minute, but a little 11 year old. You know, once again, people saying various things about who she was why she was in this neighborhood that all these neighborhoods are very dangerous.  This is happening again three day just a week before in the week of elections in Argentina on Sunday. This Sunday there will be the primary elections in the country. So different candidates have really taken advantage of them of the death of this 11 year old child to have different campaign promises saying, we're going to increase police presence. The neighborhoods in Argentina are completely unhinged. Once again, of course, completely glossing over the conditions that exists in these neighborhoods. Why are they existing. Why are there people that are, you know, fear for their lives, why do they have to fear from being robbed, etc. But really this has shaken the country. It's also was captured on a security camera which meant that many, many people have seen this this sequence of events. Extremely, extremely unfortunate. And then yesterday night, Facundo Morales, who is an activist and internationalist since very, very young. He was killed by the Buenos Aires police in the center Buenos Aires at the Obelisco during a protest. Police came and repressed this protest extremely violently. And those who were arrested, as one can see in the video recorded by a reporter were pushed to the ground cops knees on their necks. And Argentinian journalists told me that it was it's something that you see in the United States, but maybe you don't see as much in Argentina. Protesters with flans on the ground and one of these protesters was had a heart attack in this context and is killed. And so we're looking at a situation where the country is in a very, very difficult economic situation. We're very upset with what has happened over the past period in Argentina. The last year was 100% inflation in the country. Very, very little change in their conditions during the front of those government. We've seen heavy repression and who who now we're seeing heavy repression in Buenos Aires the city governed by Horacio Loretta who is one of the candidates on this Sunday's elections. We've been the people very upset about the death of Facundo Morales someone who survived the jungles of Colombia someone who survived the dictatorship of Bolivia he was imprisoned in Bolivia by Janine Amiens it was in a coma shot at by right wing Bolivian people in Santa Cruz and yesterday he unfortunately passed he's a militant communicator a journalist passing the city of Buenos Aires is really all of these I mentioned all these situations of violence all these situations of tension to say that things are really on the edge and that with this electoral process. We've seen many, again, different posturing from these candidates. These are elections where there's extreme polarity we have a candidate like Javier Millay who's an extreme libertarian who wants to dollarize the economy. We have Patricia Pulverich who's running for the together for change ticket. She was the minister of security under Mariusio Macri responsible largely for the disappearance of Sergio Maldonado responsible for the very, very heavy repression of social movements that took place during Mariusio Macri's government. We have Juan Graboya social leader who's contesting the progressive ticket and the together for the homeland. We have Sergio Massa who's the economy minister so a very, very difficult situation in the country amplified by this violence people really see no end in sight at this moment to to this continued crisis in the country. Lots of violence in South America. We're going to just quickly close out our show talking a little about what happened in Syria. Syria has been off the news a lot but I think it's important to point out that since this year 402 people have been killed in the war in Syria. We're right now in August this is a much lower number than in the years a high point of the war in Syria said 2014 when about a third of the Syrian country was held by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS. The numbers are much lower but still 400 people killed. Well on the 10th of August on Thursday, there was an attack by ISIS on a bus carrying Syrian Arab Army soldiers 23 of them were killed. This was in Derazur province in the eastern part of Syria and the town of Al-Mayadeen. Pretty interesting development there. Why is this so interesting? It's important for people to understand that ISIS still operates on the eastern flank of Syria, where large sections of the Syrian oil reserves are held somewhere between ISIS, western troops, Turkish forces and so on. It's a bad lands of Syria and the Syrian army trying to recover sovereignty over there has had a hard time. It's not the only place where there's a conflict going on in the Derazur section in Raqqa on Monday ISIS troops killed 10 Syrian pro government fighters. Raqqa is the city in northwestern Syria, which is a kind of, you know, maybe it's like the last point a holdout of a lot of the rebellion from 2011 Raqqa and Idlib in that area. Very high proportion of people still sitting there, you know, in some kind of, you know, position of their own. Well, but the violence has continued. In April, the Turkish authorities took responsibility for killing the ISIS leader. Now this is an interesting development. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his bosses had killed or rather Tahir Al-Sham, a group associated with the Turks had killed Abu Al-Hussain Al-Hussain Al-Quresh, who was the so called Emir of ISIS. Well, last week, the group named Abu Hussain Al-Hussain Al-Quresh as their leader. And right after they named this new leader, the violence picked up. Not really sure what the end game is in Syria, but I just wanted to put this on the table for you. Don't forget that that conflict that opened up over 10 years ago continues to manifest itself in the western deserts and northern parts of Syria. You're listening to Give the People What They Want, brought to you from People's Dispatch. Today that's Zoe Prashant is off. I'm Vijay from Globetrotter. Happy to be with you. See you next week.


On March 31, 2014, U.S. Marines and sailors worked in conjunction with Marines and soldiers from the Republic of Korea and the Australian Army to take part in exercise Sangyong-14. Sangyong-14 is the culmination of a multitude of training events and exercises between the U.S. and rock forces, which take place across the Asia-Pacific region throughout the year. This year's evolution was the largest in its storied history, and was comprised of three expeditionary units, two U.S. and one rock. The exercise was led by the Third Marine Expeditionary Brigade, based in Okinawa, Japan, and showcased both interoperability and sea-based operations in the Korean Peninsula. When I watched 13 ships come together, both the U.S. Navy and the Rock Navy, and as we met yesterday for the first time, we folded into a tight formation, seamlessly bringing these two forces together, and that's just an example of how mature our relationship is, how well we work together with the Rock and the Navy partners. As the exercise commenced, the Marines began training with their multinational counterparts. The focus of this year's exercise was sea-based power projection and the ability to rapidly deploy forces anywhere in the region to accomplish full-spectrum operations. As exercise Sangyong gained momentum, the multinational force partnered to engage in a full-scale amphibious beach assault. This exercise is kind of a validation of the fact that it did not take us, a generation of Marines, to get back to doing amphibious operations on a larger scale. We were able to do this through a lot of hard staff work, a lot of cooperation, and a lot of just spirit. As ships moved into position, the exercise transitioned from maritime to assault operations. Marine and rock forces loaded into amphibious vehicles and began the ship-to-shore movement. The integration has been seamless. Whenever we've had an opportunity to train, be it in field operations or just training exercises, we've tried to implement them in everything we do in vice versa. I would say that we've had an outstanding working relationship and look forward to working with them again. While forces were swiftly moving across the beach, Marine Corps aircraft moved in overhead. With speed and agility, Marine aviation moved seamlessly over the battle space, providing crucial aerial integration and fire support to the forces on the ground. As forces moved inland, they were able to integrate and focus on ground command and control while securing simulated objectives. It's been really good. A lot of good training values come out of it. Working with Marines has been great. You can tell them I'll work with them. It's always good. Always look after us really well. It's a good exercise to come on with a privilege. Both US and rock forces were able to gain crucial knowledge and experience while training together. Despite language and cultural differences, the service members were able to create relationships and build on their expertise. As the exercise drew to a close and the ships set sail, the Navy and Marine Corps team were able to once again validate power projection from the sea and their commitment to being the quote, first to fight and win tonight.
