Marlena Stell aka Makeup Geek just released her video for Truth in Makeup talking about her pledges to the beauty community and I just it just doesn't sit well with me and I just I don't trust her and I'm gonna explain why. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is not a drama channel I am a channel that is all about helping you improve your mental health but what I try to do is take things from the community and teach you how you can improve your mental health by recognizing that you might be going through the same stuff that's going on so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so real quick before I jump into this video like it's there's always this internal conflict like I just want to let you all know like I am leaps and bounds above where I used to be before I started working on my mental health but like I'm still a wacky guy up here right and there's these things that I have these internal conflicts about but you know that's part of being human and one of the things that I get conflicted about is talking about these types of stories and there's this thing called negative bias right we are we are more prone to focus on the negativity rather than the positivity okay and and as many of you who enjoy these videos I can hone in on the few comments that are that are like I don't like this Chris I don't like this your mental health channel what are you doing while you're making videos about this and and there's maybe there's maybe like two or three of them that I've come across but then there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of like positive comments and and like that's that's something that a lot of us struggle with and leave comments down below like let me know like are you one of those people where if in a sea of positivity you can hone in on the one or two negative things right like that's something I struggle with so I always struggle with like making these videos and like right before recording this and after watching Marlena's video I'm like should I make this like I don't want to be a drama channel and and I'm not I'm not and you know I want to give another shout out to my girlfriend's best friend Shelby because you know we're in a little group text and we talk about stuff and you know I show them like you know some of the comments that I get and things like that and you know whatever and and Shelby Shelby if you're watching this I think you will I don't think Shelby watched many of my videos okay I have over 400 videos on my channel I don't think she watched many of them she's been watching a lot of my videos lately because I'm pulling in these situations from the beauty community something that she's interested in but Shelby said something in our group text the other day and she said like I really enjoy what you're doing because you can take something that I can relate to and then I can reflect on myself and say okay where do I need to improve what am I doing and I'm like yes yes yes yes so you know like I know I made a video an entire video about this when I talked about the blind girl Molly Burke like sometimes you gotta wrap something up in a different package just to give people the help that they need you know so as much as I might have these like little internal conflicts about this like I don't know it helps a lot of people it brings people in so they can improve their life but anyways like that's the first couple minutes of the video I've talked too long about that but I do like to keep you guys in the know of what goes on with my own mental health and the things I struggle with and things like that and that way I can kind of show you what I do to overcome them and and do different things to like keep my sanity and keep my happiness and serenity and peace and all these other things but anyways my Linus Dell just released her video for truth and makeup and she wanted to clarify a bunch of things and you know she wanted to make her pledges to the beauty community and the overlying tone of this video is I want to talk about my black and white thinking okay black and white thinking for those of you who do not know it's it's a it's a thought process that people struggle with okay where somebody is in an all good category or an all bad category okay and I'm struggling right now because I put Marlena in an all good category but when I saw the video from Melray Segal and her follow-up video Marlena has gone into the all bad category and what happens for those of us with black and white thinking is the person has to do like this grand act in order to go back to the other category of being all good but the problem is is that we've set up guidelines in our brain that oftentimes the other person's not even aware of in order for them to get back into that good category and I hope that makes sense and anybody out there who struggles with black and white thinking it probably makes perfect sense to you all right so that's what I'm struggling with with Marlena I it's hard it's hard for me to believe her and trust her with what she's saying until what is what happened with Melray Segal until that's addressed it's hard for me to see Marlena in a good light which is crazy to me it's crazy because I'm very over analytical okay not only am I over analytical but I analyze people all right and I don't trust people I have a lot of trust issues I need to make videos on that and when you have somebody like Marlena who is making a ton of money who is a business owner and like her pledges are to support small influencers she made a hashtag for truth and beauty she says you go post that with your makeup look they will send you free makeup and things like that and I'm always questioning people's motives and I know all of you are too like this is a human issue this is this is something people do all the time like we're constantly questioning people's motives why are you doing that right so my brain since Marlena is in this all bad category right it's saying like she's only doing this so she can get more exposure she's only giving people free makeup so she can get more exposure she's giving free makeup on the off chance that these these smaller influencers are going to start to spread the word about makeup geek even though she said and her words said we're not doing this to make money when I do we're giving out free makeup we want to support small influencers stuff I'm like but what is your motive right but when it comes to black and white thinking before I saw no race seagulls video I would have just looked at this video from Marlena and said oh my god this is amazing she's supporting small influencers this is amazing this is incredible you see what I mean like this is something that we struggle with with people in our lives right like when they switch over to that other side it's hard for us to trust anything that they say and one of the ways I combat my black and white thinking with people in everyday life because I don't know Marlena like I don't buy makeup like it doesn't matter for me but like I take these situations and I'm like sitting here I'm like oh man like who else am I doing with it this within my life right and I talked about my black and white thinking in a video not too long ago like I'm involved in the YouTube community and there's a lot of people in the YouTube community who have switched from one side to the other in my brain because I'm still kind of a crazy person now some of you might be like what are you talking about with no race seagull well I am really surprised that no way seagull's videos have not exploded more than they already have basically what happened was no race seagull was paid $100 to use some of their makeup and model for it or whatever and they told her we're gonna promote you and stuff like that no way just you know she wanted the promotion for it and they have been using her image and all these other things but not crediting her at all and this upset her so she made a video about it she also sent them a cease and desist okay so they took her images down all right so like it would be crazy for anybody to think that Marlena is not aware of this situation that happened with malray seagull so in Marlena's video she said if you have ideas of what I can do or how I can help you know make the beauty community better and like I left a comment I'm like I really think that you need to set things right with malray seagull so I'm gonna lump this into my playlist of how to apologize like no race seagull was hurt okay her view her opinion of makeup geek has vastly changed my opinion of Marlena as the person has vastly changed because of that situation Marlena talks so much about supporting smaller influencers and all these other things in her video and and it's like since we like it is pretty safe to say that Marlena is aware she is aware of this cease and desist she needs to reach out to malray seagull directly because I do feel that Marlena is a good person I assume that whatever happened with malray seagull and the image and everything like that it was not like Marlena sitting in like a mansion going haha I'm gonna screw this little beauty influencer over I don't think that's what happened but I feel that Marlena should reach out to malray and say yo I'm sorry about that what can I do to help you I'm on this whole kick about supporting smaller influencers I want to get you more attention you do such an amazing job that we used your image how can I help you what can I do for you right now that's all Marlena can do that's it no way seagull might still be hurt she might still be hurt about it and she might tell Marlena no kick rocks and that's cool but that act that Marlena would do would would get me back on Marlena's side and and like I said I don't mean like this is nowhere this is not intended to be any type of drama video or anything but like let's say this let's say you know somebody in your life who struggles with black and white thinking I hope this video kind of gets you into the mind of somebody who has black and white thinking and have a better understanding I also want you to realize like when it comes to apologizing and trying to repair our image or who we are and set things right like I used to be a very terrible person I'm not saying Marlena is a terrible person but I used to be a very terrible person and I would just constantly sweep things under the rug just under the rug here it goes maybe nobody noticed this maybe not that many people realize this right but like we remember people remember right but I was making my image even worse way back in the day when I used to be a terrible person just by trying to ignore things and skirt around things and and stuff like that you know what I'm saying and that's not that's not a good way to live like I gotta be open honest about all sorts of things and like those of you who are my loyal subscribers like and have been around for a while or those of you who are my new loyal subscribers a lot of you know my true intentions you know you know my true motives I made an apology video yesterday and it meant a lot to me when people were like Chris I know that you didn't mean that you know what I mean and again like I don't know maybe someday I'll make a video about it but the comments in my apology video they're screwing me up again going back to that negative bias there was so much positivity in those comments and I'm honing in on the negative ones you know but anyways anyways I'm gonna quit babbling because I'm in this whole like just wacky kind of mindset where I'm in the mood to talk and so I'm gonna end this video but I want to hear your comments down below if you struggle with black and white thinking your thoughts your opinions whatever you got let's have a conversation down below all right but if you like this video please be sure to give it a thumbs up and again if you're new here my channel's all about helping you improve your mental and emotional well-being make

Proudly, we hail. New York City, where the American stage begins. Here is another program with a cast of outstanding players. Public service time has been made available by this station to bring you this story. As proudly we hail, the United States Army. Our presentation is entitled, The Dragon Returns. Two returning sergeants of the United States Army en route to their homes to enjoy a hard earned leave, find mystery and excitement in San Francisco's Chinatown. Our first act curtain will rise in just a moment, but first, the man who measures up will succeed anywhere. For a life of excitement and adventure, join the United States Army. You see, the Army is the proving ground, the place for the men and the boys' part company, where, in a few short months, you'll learn more about how to take care of yourself and how to lead others than you could in a lifetime of civilian activity. In the Army, your opportunities for advancement and leadership are unlimited, but you've got to have what it takes. Right now, the Army has a new program in effect that permits you to enlist directly for training in the specialty of your choice. And here's how it works. You make application for the course of your choice and then take a qualifying examination.  If you're accepted and a vacancy exists, a class space will be set aside in your name. Now, if, on the other hand, the classes are filled or if for some reason you happen to fail the qualifying exam, then you're under no obligation to enlist and no obligation whatsoever. Here's an opportunity for you to serve your country and build a man-sized career for yourself that will take you as far as you want to go. Visit your local United States Army Recruiting Station today for complete details. And now your Army presents the proudly-we-hailed production The Dragon Returns. Boy, I never thought I'd spend my first evening back in the States from the far east in San Francisco's Chinatown. Yeah, but I tell you, it'll only take a minute. Gee, I've got presses for my Aunt Ruth, my Uncle Harry, my Kid Brother. Yeah, I know, I know.  And I've forgotten to get one for Grace. How do you like that? My own sister and I forget it. Well, come on, hurry it up. Hey, how about this place? Nah, that's only junk in there. I want something real classy for Grace. I can't let her know I didn't bring anything for her. That's why we had to come down here. I can buy something and she'll never know that it didn't come all the way from Tokyo. Well, for that matter, it probably will have. Everything around here is made in Japan. Hey, here's the place. Very exclusive. They just got one thing in the window, that Jade Dragon. I don't know. Looks like it might be expensive. Yeah, come on, I like it. Let's find out. What's it good for? How should I know? I just like it. Maybe a doorstop, huh? Come on, this green door. Let's go in. Good evening, gentlemen. Yeah, good evening. Can I show you something? The statue at the dragon in the window. The dragon. I do not think so. Something else, perhaps, but not the dragon. Well, it's for sale, isn't it? It's very expensive. Well, that's all right. It's a present for my sister. Oh, it's for your sister. Yeah, how much is it? That depends. Is it real, Jade? Of course. How much? For your sister, the Jade Dragon, $10.00 on 72 cents. Oh, that's too much. $5.00 on 72 cents. It's a deal. Wrap it up. Very well. That's too cheap for Jade. Must be something wrong with it. I'll take a look. Here, let me look at it. That is the one you want. Yeah. It's okay. Yeah, it looks okay to me too. Real nice. She'll like it. You sure got a good price? Yeah, almost half. That's good enough. Tila? Oh, thank you very much. I don't know anywhere. Let's get out of this neighborhood. It gives me the creeps. Jade, this was sure a night. We've certainly seen San Francisco. Too bad we couldn't get a train for tomorrow, but it'll give us another day to see the town. Yeah, I'm getting anxious to get home, though. Hey, Dick, there's the cable car we want. We need it to get back to the hotel. Come on, let's go. We missed it. Oh, got it. Oh, well, we'll ride one more. Yeah. Might as well walk from here. It's only a few blocks. All downhill, though. Yeah. That's one thing about Brisco. Everything's so close, you know. Hey, look down that street there, will you? Isn't that a view? I have a gun in your back. What? Please, do not cry out. Hey, watch the eye. Careful, Dick. He's not kidding about the artillery. I can feel it. Your wallet, please. But, gee, OK, OK. Why don't you pick on someone else? All we've got is about 10 bucks between us. And another package, please. And that's all we have. Thank you. That will be sufficient. Hey, he's heading for that car. Quick, see if we can get the license. So, you see, Lieutenant, we couldn't get the license number because they were driving without lights. Excuse me. Don't pray, sing, Lieutenant. Gee, speaking. Yes. Yes, I'll be through here in a few minutes. OK, right. You couldn't make it out, huh? No, the street lights weren't too bright on that corner. But you think he was Oriental type, huh? Or about how big, uh, about, like me, about? He was more slender than you. As a matter of fact, Lieutenant, he looked something like you. Uh-huh. He just came back from the Far East. We don't think all Orientals look alike. That's something. But you did get a pretty good look at him. Well, I did when he was turning to go back to the car. He was polite, too. He said, please. Oh, that's good, too. For what I gather, anyway, you're not out too much. About $12 in this jade dragon. That's right.  Well, it's a good thing you left your travel money in the safe in the hotel. You can be thankful for that. You're not just kidding. Well, Lieutenant, nice of you to bother with us. Not at all. I was in the service myself, so I take a personal interest in any report that involves military personnel. We just want to report this in case you could get a line on this guy so we won't be bothering someone else. You did exactly right. Good night, Lieutenant. Good night. I find soldiers, Lieutenant. Yes, Sergeant, they are. Wonder who Oriental Hood is. He's new to me. Maybe not to me. Well, this wouldn't be mixed up with that thing you're working on, would it? I would be willing to lay a little money on it. But by tomorrow night, I might no more. Here somewhere. But we've walked this block four times already. None of these places look like it. That's the one over there, I'm sure of it. Hey, they sure changed the window then. Look at all that junk. Yeah, but I remember the door. It was green. That's the only green one on the block. Come on, let's try it. All right. Still don't see why you have to come back to the same place as last night anyway. You can probably buy a dragon in any one of these places. Yeah, but I want one just like that when I like it. Come on, let's go in. All right. Hey, look, it's a girl buying the counter now. So it is. Good morning. Can I help you? We bought a dragon in here last night. Last night? Yeah, and we lost it. We'd like another just the same kind. I do not understand. Well, it was about eight inches high, green jade. A dragon last night? Yeah. Do you have another one? This is very peculiar, Sergeant. Are you sure it was here? I'm pretty sure. Well, I'm positive. I noticed the door. The green door is the only one on the street. But, Sergeant, you see, I am afraid I cannot help you. Well, when will your father be back? Whoever it was, it was here last night. We bought it from him. I have no father. At least he has been dead for several years. Well, who was the man who was telling the shop last night? I do not know what you mean. You see, Sergeant, I only shopped myself. I have owned it since my father died five years ago. I run it myself and I employ no one else. And, Sergeant, I am never open in the evening. Well, there was someone here last night. Impossible. I closed and locked the shop at 5.30 as I always do. I'm sure this is the place. And I am just as sure that it could not be. Of course, I will show you something else if you like. It was a jade dragon you were interested in. I have nothing like that here, as you can see. But perhaps a vase or some nice bracelet? Not interested. Come on, Sam, let's go. Yeah. It's a hot one. Are you sure that was the place? I couldn't be more positive. But she said that...  She was lying. But why? I don't know. I wish I did. Hey, Dick, look, up there. Why? That guy hurrying up that hill there. That's our stick-up artist from last night. Why? Couldn't be. But it is. I am just as sure of it as you are about that store. Remember, I got a good look at him. You didn't. Come on, he's going to the shop. Let's go after him. Where's the guy that just came in here? In here? Well, Sergeant, I think you are mistaken. No one came in here, as you can see. Brother, I think maybe I'm going nuts. We were following a guy up the street. We think he held us up last night. He turned in here. Unfortunately not. However, is there anything I can show you? That guy... Oh. Please, look around. We have some very fine pieces. A statuette, perhaps. Here's a lovely little dragon. A dragon? Yes, brass, as you can see. Or perhaps something more practical. Here are some very fine cigarette boxes. They're nice, but what about Jade? Ah, Jade, Jade. Over here, please. You will see anything you like. What I had in mind is a Jade dragon. Come on, we're wasting time.  Let's look around a little. We've looked. Okay, okay. I'm coming. What are you holding a rank hole like that for? It was dragging on the ground. You know, I might have found something in there for Grace if you had given me more time. It was a pretty nice shot. You did find something. Look, the Jade dragon. You are listening to the proudly we hail production, the dragon returns. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. Young man, be honest with yourself. Have you reached a standstill in life? Is each day just like any other? Are you worried about your future? And most important, are you feeling sort of dissatisfied with yourself and your personal development? Well, if this description or any part of it fits you, then it's just about time you investigated the wonderful opportunities waiting for you when you enlist in your United States Army. You see, in the Army, every man has a skill, and more often than not, the Army taught him that skill in one of its fine technical training schools. The Army offers an interesting present and a secure future with plenty of promotions along the way. And above all, the Army molds you into a man, a man whose family, friends, and country are proud of him. If you think you can measure up, drop into your nearest recruiting station and see if you can qualify to wear the Mark of a Man, the uniform of your United States Army. You are listening too proudly we hail. Now we present the second act of The Dragon Returns. Well, we got the dragon back. Pretty, isn't it? Pretty mysterious, if you'll ask me. Yeah. Funny turning up there. But the same one, all right. I can tell by this crack on the tail here. I wonder how it got in that other store. Well, it didn't walk. Our friend of last night must have left it when he lambed through, dodging us. The other guy certainly did a cover up fast. Well, that's that. You've got it back. We've called Lieutenant G to tell him and now we can get on with our sightseeing. Hey, leave the dragon here. We don't want to lose it. Yeah, okay. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. I've got a pair of shoes here that need heels. I'll just drop them off on the way. I'll, uh, put them in this bag here. Okay, come on, let's go. Fisherman's Wharf, let's take a taxi. It'll be faster. All right. Taxi! Hey, taxi! Even the taxi drivers are Oriental. I think we were back in Tokyo. Yeah. Hey, this doesn't seem right. Are you sure this guy knows where he's going? I don't know. At least he knows it's better than we do. Holy smoke, this is Chinatown again. Can't we get out of the Orient? Driver! Hey, hey, driver! He heard me, but he won't turn around. Probably taking us the long way around so we can charge us more. Hey, slow him down. This looks like the same place we found the dragon. Say, driver, what's the idea? Hey, he's stopping. All right, gentlemen, just about quietly. Walk in store and nothing will happen to you. What the... Dick, he's got a gun. Look who it is. The guy who sold you the dragon. Well, I guess we don't have any choice. Very sensible, gentlemen. Very sensible. Come on. Move on. All ready. My humble apologies, gentlemen. But, you see, I felt sure that it was you who had taken my dragon from the back room. His dragon? Get him. The package you are carrying, please, Sergeant. The pack? Now, if you will just accompany me to this other room, it is more quiet back there. Ah, yes. I will just look at my little green Jade Dragon. What is this? I, uh, looks like a pair of shoes to me. What kind of joke are you playing with me?  Well, you see, they need heels and I... Where is the dragon? The dragon? Oh, the dragon. Where is it? You mean that little old Jade Dragon. You know there what I mean. Gee, whatever happened to that thing, Dick? I don't know. I think it got broken. I can't recall. Oh, well, that's life. Take them away. Move on, you too. Okay, Dick, do what the man says. You make a tire holding that cannon and accidentally let it go on. Yeah. And when they are secure, go back to their hotel and search the room. Anyhow, I know how a turkey feels when it's trust up for roasting. Don't you be pessimistic now, boy. He may not roast us. Well... Dick, I think I've got one of my ropes loose enough to... Keep it down for Pete's sake. You'll have everyone in a place in here. I got my legs free. Now, if I could... I made it. Where are you? I can't see a thing in this blasted cellar. Over here. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. See if I can get these knots loose. Friend Wang took my knife away. Guess he was afraid I might cut myself. How the heck are we going to get out, even after we've gotten untied? I'm sure he didn't lock the door at the top of the stairs. Guess he was sure we were tied up for keeps. There must be a back way out. There's no one in a little back room. We've got it made. Yeah, we'll go out the same way the guy who held us up did this morning. Hey, so kind of alley. Never mind the view. Let's just get out of here. Dragon's gone again. Not so much of a surprise. We should have put it in the hotel safe instead of leaving it in a room. But it had no value. I'm not so sure now. Shall we call Chi, the lieutenant? And have him think we're nuts. First you have it, then you don't. Yeah, I guess so. Besides, there's nothing much more we can tell him.  The funny part of it is that girl back at the place where we bought the thing. She didn't look like the type that'd be mixed up in a thing like this, you know? Just because she's pretty. No, no, that's not it. Just had a feeling about her. Oh, well, oh, gosh, I just remembered. I still got to get something for Grace, you know. Oh, no, you don't. Not with me, anyhow. I feel like locking myself in this hotel room until it's time for our train tomorrow. Yeah, but, Chi, they got back the dragon. They don't want us anymore. Still can't figure out why they wanted it. The tail was even cracked. Maybe it's an early ming or something. Someone's turning the knob on the door. What? Hey, somebody are. I got over here behind it, and I can grab them. It's opening. Hey, it's the girl. Close the door, Sam. What's this all about? What are you doing here? I did not know you would be here. What did you think? We were tied up in a cellar? Yes, that is. I wanted to tell you something. Oh, come on. Now, you'll have to do better than that. No, really. I can explain. You frightened me. May I sit down? Well, go ahead. You know, you had us holding our breath, too, in case you don't know it. I am so sorry. I really am trying to help. You see, my brother, he is in the army, too. I was trapped by Dr. Singh to leave store open with one of his men there. I tried to find out after you left today what it was about. And I did find out one thing. The dragon you bought was supposed to be sold to someone who would give a password. You must have said it by accident. Why? Well, it seems to me they go to a lot of trouble in this town to make a sale. That is what worries me. I am mixed up in it now, and I am afraid there is something wrong, very wrong. And I thought... Yeah, well, what did you think? I thought perhaps you could help. I do not want to go to police. Us? I thought you could at least find out what it is all about. I do not dare ask any more questions. There is going to be a meeting tonight, and I thought... A meeting? What kind of a meeting? A tongue. They dress up in ceremonial Chinese gowns, and Dr. Singh is head of it. Now, if I could arrange for a back door to be left open, then maybe... Things you get me into. Hey! What's that doll you mean? Well, you started it all by buying that confounded statue. Shh! We're getting close to the main room here. Yeah. There's a crack of light over there. Must be the door. Hey, maybe we can hear through it. Have they started? Open it just a crack. Why not? All we can do is end up in another basement. Anything we're just making with the tea, sitting around the table. Well, I'll be doggone. Let me see. Hey, it's my dragon. Yeah. Here comes another guy, all dressed up. Hey, will you look at that mustache? That's a beauty. What's he doing? Shh! I don't know. Listen.  I've come to make a purchase. What is it for? The dragon is a present for my sister. Quite so. A $10.72. Too much. Very well. A $5.72. That will be satisfactory. Oh, my God. She's giving him the money. No wonder they thought you were the right guy last night. You said everything right. Just the way he said it. She's leaving. Quick. We may be able to get around the front of the building in time to catch her. There he is, coming out of the building. Yeah, he's getting in the car. Hurry! Taxi! Hey, taxi! This guy look all right. We can't be choosy. Can you follow that car that just pulled away? Yeah, I guess so. We don't go too fast. I don't want to get no ticket. We probably should have called the lieutenant. Well, it's too late now. We're on our own. Looks like an apartment house. Hey! That shit's not real. For God's sakes. It's Lieutenant Chi. So all orientals don't look alike to you. Come on. Come on inside with me. You may have been followed. We'll find amateur detectives. You wind up following the law. We were only trying to help. I wish you could tell us what this is all about, Lieutenant. I can't tell you much, but I can tell you one thing.   What do you know about this dragon of yours? I think except what we told you. Yeah. Let me see that thing. What? I'm sorry, Lieutenant. You're crying out loud. Why didn't... Hey, Lieutenant. Look what fell out when it broke. Let me see that. What is it? It's microfilm. I know. I used to work with it in Washington. This may put a new light on everything. Chi speaking. Get me Inspector O'Brien. Yes. Yes, thank you. I still don't know exactly what it was all about. Well, I don't know all myself. I saw enough of those microfilms to know they contain military information. The army and the FBI have them now. We won't touch them again, and we may never know what they were. See, I was mixed up in it when I was trying to get our friend Dr. Singh on a bunco racket that I still suspect he was carrying on as a side-drying to the espionage. They were all mixed up in it. Even the girl, the one at the shop? No, you can relax. She was just what she said. An innocent duper. No kidding. Gosh, what a night. I'm going to see that you two get a commendation from someone out of this. You took a terrific personal risk. Actually, I should throw the bucket you for not calling me instead of going up on your own like that. Well, Lieutenant, we thought you'd think we were crazy or something. I suppose I might very well have, if I had not been working on the case in the first place. Sam, you know, I was thinking if we get up early tomorrow, maybe we'll have time to run up and get that present for Grace. Oh, no. Here's a word to young men and women who are high school graduates.

If you mess around with Uber cars, that's gonna happen. Try to remember some of the basics of CQC. Everybody wants more boost, but not so you can blow off your charge pipes. Boost is for bragging on the internet, duh. If your charge pipes keep popping off, install mistakes are usually a big reason why. Forgetting to tighten down a clamp means it's probably gonna come loose later, but overtightening clamps is also a big issue. Overtightening worm clamps will damage them and weaken their grip. And T-bolt clamps can even squish the pipe. If you're having trouble getting your silicone on your pipe, or you need some extra stick for big boost, use hairspray instead of silicone lube. Hairspray lets the silicone slide on nice and easy, then dry sticky. Silicone spray just makes everything slippery. I need a second, freaking Tony Robo.


Welcome to this episode of the International Roundup by People's Dispatch. Today we're talking about the ninth day of the Turkish invasion of northeastern Syria. News Clicks Prabir Burkayashta talks about the ground situation there, the regional implications of the conflict, and the declining role of the U.S. in the area. Take a look. Well, I think the most important point is what we had discussed earlier, that will the YPG be able to reach an accommodation this short time with the Syrian government? Because there is for them no other alternative. That actually has happened on the ground. They have been able, within a very short span of time, to reach an accommodation, allow the Syrian government forces to come in, take positions of at least the major concentrations where the Kurdish population is, and this has changed the complexion of Syria today, particularly because if SDF goes, SDF is led by the YPG, if SDF goes with the Syrian government, Assad's government, then we have liberated another 20-25% area of Syria which was under the occupation of SDF, and this was also the gas and oil-rich areas. Coming back to the question that you asked, what about the Turkish invasion? It does seem that the Turkish invasion is not really being led by Turkish armed forces in large numbers. They may be supporting it, they may be giving it logistical support, but it seems to be largely what used to be called the Free Syrian Army, which has now got another name. But essentially it is what we would have called al-Qaeda light forces which were backed by, from the Saudis to Qataris, also by the United States and NATO allies, and of course sheltered by Erdogan. Turkey was the main backer of these forces. Now this raktag band which has been camping for quite some time in Turkey and is also a significant part of that is also there in some pockets in Idlib. They seem to have joined the Turkish forces and they seem to be spearheading this, and this is the fight between actually the Kurdish forces and the so-called Free Syrian Army. In fact, one of the SDF women leaders was brutally killed as a part of this on the M4 highway and it's again from what we see it's again the so-called Free Syrian Army which is spearheading this kind of attacks. So at the moment it also appears that the Turkish forces are reaching some kind of an accommodation with the Syrian government as well as with the Russian government. And this is somewhere being brokered by Russia who is playing the honest intermediary in this particular case between Syria, Turkey and also the Kurdish forces, the YPG because if you remember the Kurds always had a very good equation. The Russians they have an embassy in Russia and their equation with Russia has always been there in spite of the fact that they were under American umbrella. So I think the quickness with which this has happened has shocked everybody because we didn't think that there was chance of Kurdish switch over in such a quick way and they could coordinate this so quickly. The other important part is it appears that both the Syrian Air Force and the Russian Air Force have declared that Turkish Air Force cannot enter that area. So there is no air cover that these forces will have when they enter northeast Syria. So with all of this I think the picture that is emerging is that Turkey is using the Free Syrian Army as cannon fodder essentially. After a month long strike the management of General Motors and the leaders of the United automobile workers have arrived at a temporary deal. The company has agreed to most of the demands which were made by the workers including two key issues. The first is to ensure the protection and the generation of jobs in the United States. The second is the formalizing of temporary workers who have been employed in the company's plans for years. According to the deal the company has agreed to invest close to about 9 billion US dollars to keep one production unit in Detroit operational. The plant was among the four plants that were scheduled to be closed by the company. The company will also work out mechanisms to generate or retain the 9000 jobs in the country that were to be laid off initially. The company has also agreed to a wage hike of about 3% to 4% or a lump-sump annual bonus for the employees. It also agreed to clear pathways to formalize the temporary employees who have worked at the GM factories for more than three years. General Motors currently operates 33 production units across the US of which it had planned to close four units and transfer a large part of its production work to Mexico. Union negotiations had failed to yield results which had led to the strike earlier. We'd be keeping a track of that story and a lot of other stories as well for all these updates and news around the world.

And in Japan, rescuers recover 11 bodies after a pleasure boat carrying 26 people disappeared Saturday in stormy weather off the northeastern coast.


Hello, my name is Dr Shobana Nagraj and everyone calls me Shobie. I work in the health systems collaborative group within the Centre for Global Health Research in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford. NDM is really world renowned but also more importantly it has so many inspirational people within it. I think I've been really lucky to have quite a few really inspirational female role models in my life. I think the first one being my mother. She's a doctor but she also always was there for us as we were growing up. She really inspired me to actually be able to pursue studies to a higher level and both my parents have been hugely supportive. In terms of professional mentors I think that there are women that I've seen in science that have actually managed to break those glass ceilings and follow their dreams and I think that gave me permission to do that myself as well. It's really important to have female role models around you. Sometimes I've found that you are the one that has to lead the way sometimes. I've always felt very welcomed and it's been an environment where I've known that I can progress within that as well. So that's been really great.


Listen, I've been playing, literally all I've been playing has been pro-ing. I'm just enjoying myself, man. It's enjoyable until we lose to a garbage team, in which case that's frustrating.  I still got my 2K defaults on. Y'all can't expect any sort of fashion sense from me. I don't know when I'm gonna change the defaults, but for now I've just been rocking with it. Welcome, everybody, to the Game Breakers Arena. Man, we had some pretty solid moments so far. Listen, y'all don't want to see me destroy teams by 50. That's not enjoyable to watch. I'm trying to rank the team up so we can actually play some good competition and get some good game. I'm trying out different lineups. I'm learning the cheese when it comes to playing on pro-amp. Let me show y'all from a bird's-eye view, bro. Is Carl looking too clean? How he just don't look beautiful, man. Oh my God, y'all. It's different, y'all. When we got our first 20 wins and we finally got out that bleacher arena, like the little high school arena, I was like, damn, this is a whole new, different type of atmosphere. Our record as of right now is like 43 and 3? 43 and 3. Yo, the 3 losses came on some bullshit, man. We were just running some weird lineups. Yo, what are the teams we beat by 30? The next game we're goofing around. We just beat them by 30. Why would we pay attention? And then they were leading by like 12, leading into the fourth. And we had to try hard and we ended up losing by 3. I think all our losses were losses by 3. Frustrating against some garbage teams. But we've been rolling ever since, man. I've been trying to get the hang of pro-amp for the most part. The jumper situation is very different than it is on the park. So I've been testing out different jump shots that can fight through all kind of... This is not my jump shot. Somebody's been on my account. Oh! I changed my jump shot because I was playing on my my court. And that... Okay, all right. Because I knew something was up. I know I didn't change it, except I did. Because the one time... Anyway, I'm learning the sense, bro. This seems like everybody on prime is running a five out or a four out pick and roll. I was hoping to be a little bit more dynamic than that. The meta is pretty simple. If you have a bad center, GG.  And if you have a bad point guard, GG.  Man, I'll never get used to those little kids screaming in the background. I've never seen a little kid jet on the playground. But I still hear their voices for some reason screaming in the background while I'm trying to record. I'm gonna mute their audio. Don't worry about it. Listen, y'all see my controller right now. This is my... This is an OG controller right here, man. I may or may not have broke some controllers in the past. It's lagging! No! This game, man! I have a great history of controller breaking prevention. So I don't know what happened exactly, but with this specific controller, the... Can you guys hear it? There's like a sticky sound. Like I got some Popeye's juice within the touch pad. I don't know how this happened, y'all. It was probably one of my... I have like flavored water around me all the time. There's like bottles all around me. I'm assuming that may have spilled in here because there's nothing else I don't usually eat near here. So I said, yo, this might as well be time to upgrade. It is no... When you upgrade, you gotta... You gotta really upgrade. Geez, you know the ones, yo? Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! Yo, if your controller does not look like mine, delete your account. It is not even a contest, man. Oh my God, y'all! Yo, this feels so... So if y'all pay attention right here, we got the stealth black look with gold buttons. Like golden eye. The sticks feel smoother. I like the concave ones where it curves in I won't mess with the the regular ps4 ones, bro Y'all know I used to have the little thing on my controller to help make it anyway, man That's not just and we got the grip in the back y'all see that And I think these are mappable controllers like you know how on your mouse you can map different controls depending on what mouse you have I think that's what those are. I'm never gonna use those But I guess it's cooler there with at least on 2k. I'm never gonna I might I might have a use for those on rainbow six. Maybe even take it When we're talking about tech and young age and got the whole pad, you know, my controller game is crazy All right, let me connect this controller. I actually want to give it a go for the first time. Yo, that's all so dope, bro That is all so dope. Y'all if just You know like you you touching cashmere sweater That's how this is feeling right now, bro. It's wavy, bro.  This is I'm so I'm saying man. I'm not gonna say anything else Hey every time isn't just me every time I've been playing pro am recently It's been like Three ai's on both teams like only four user players in each game Ah, they they map as a square triangle circle x. Oh, man. Yo, don't make fun of me in the comment section I'm using my pro. I'm jumper that cannot fight through latency and I know I'm gonna experience some latency. So I'm gonna be missing. I'm gonna hop back out, bro.  No loading. Just switch your jump shot. You're out Now you gotta dive through all these loading screens and I'm like, uh Why is it so challenging, man? All right, close your eyes people Good look at my beautiful smile Because I'm about to do my jump shot real quick and y'all don't need to know what this is agent When you go release another jump shot. Hey, if you can't hit with the jump shots I've already released. I might have some bad news for you, man. It might not be the jump shots, man It might it might be another reason why I'm not gonna say what the reason is but there might be another one I'll be I've been hearing stuff from my house recently like while I'm streaming too It'd be like somebody activated google home in the other room I'm like google who called you if y'all see me disappear for like over a week on youtube Call the authorities because I've been abducted by ghosts is what it seems like I need to be ready at all times to talk all kind of smack So my mic is always on deck, bro. You never know when you might have to check a teammate. Let him know who you are Hey I'm the greatest big guy in the game You know there's something about this controller Hey What is that animation, bro?  So we man. He's gonna take it. Oh Can agent pull that? Yeah, there's all kind of delay g Yess. I still hit though. All right Chill out chill out breath fard relaxed there buddy. Hey, we're hitting him though Agent agent agent whole whole whole thing Oh my god, I'm over here my well that snatch bag is nasty y'all don't patch that in the next patch I'd actually be surprised. I don't mind it cuz I use it, but it is OD Buttons by accident and it passed out of shot damn it man. It's not what I was trying to ask why did that that was clean I didn't mean to hit that I'm gonna have to remove those cuz it's gonna get in the way Jesus hey y'all gonna allow me some time with the Pro line videos man I need a I need at least get to like elite for bro before I really start to face like good competition man I'm telling you what the team I have now and keep my we're switching players all the time We've got a new lineup for the time like you see earlier. There's only four people on the roster people playing with whatever You know, I don't have a set five. It's not challenging to beat these teams Bro, it doesn't take a lot of focus and I haven't played a top 100 team yet I want to play a top because you know, I want to see what it's like But then I don't want to play one because I'm trying to improve the record Bro, we butchered the record playing with weird old line-ups man Yeah, you know the first thing people ask when they see a prime team is what's your record, right? And then they judge everything past that off your record I'm trying to you know avoid thinking like that to be honest But I mean that's just the way prime works. There's gonna be some games where I don't do it but stretch the floor There's gonna be other games where I straight up dominate. It really depends on how the opponent's playing me. You know what I'm talking about? Hey good role right there man.  Hey in the comments. Let me know Let me green that real quick. BAH Let me know what type of prime videos y'all want to see I could do those hundred point videos and for sure for sure I could drop a hundred points. I could run Comp games if y'all interested in those those aren't as entertaining. They're more focused, you know when I'm playing those games I'm not trying to be entertaining. I'm just I'm zoned in that's it I also had another idea y'all can have to let me know what y'all think of this idea I'm gonna. Oh, I was not a good release still head. I'm just am I that nice Am I that the bad releases going I gotta be that nice I had a brilliant idea and y'all can have to tell me what you think I actually swante originally thought of it and I was like, yo, that's not a bad idea man He was like, yo agent We need to get all the guys with the biggest egos in the community on one team now Me and swante already have beef right cuz swante beyond some ego sometimes man But I thought if we could grab a whole bunch of other people that are Primary ball handlers and just running on one team. We're not everybody could handle the ball I thought that'd be the funniest stuff man.  It's walk on agent. Stop bragging. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. There's a lot of delay, too I'm looking surprised. I'm hitting some of these shots. Hey, I'm an AI now.  I when I'm testing releases. I love going against AI I'll sit right here. They give me way too much room and unless that double is coming you can start to really test your releases I had like 50 points on a prime game zone the out because there was an AI doing the same thing They don't there's no way to program the AI to step up.  Look at this. Look at this.


All right, if you've got a living trust, the centerpiece of an estate plan, why would you ever need a will? Because a will leads to probate. You want to avoid probate. Well, sure you want to avoid probate, but what if someone passes away and they left out an important piece of property or asset from their living trust? You want that asset to go the way the rest of your living trust articles do. Well, the only way to get it into that living trust is through a probate. Therefore, if you have a living trust, you need a poor over will. It's a special kind of will. And we also use wills to name guardians for minor children. So even though a will can lead to problems like probate, that a living trust can solve, a will is still an integral part of a good estate plan.
