In today's video we're opening all five of the brand new 25th anniversary booster boxes. What's up guys we're back with another epic new 25th anniversary opening where we have legend of blue eyes, metal raiders, spell ruler, pharaoh servant, and invasion of chaos all to open up in one single video. And the best part they're all being given away everything we pulled out of these will be given to one of you guys just like the video be subscribe turn notifications let me know down below your favorite set that we open up and what do you want to see pulled from one of these booster boxes to give you a chance to win let's get into it. Now before we actually open these up I do want to take a quick second to look at these boxes do you guys notice there is definitely a difference here not the 25th anniversary that's obviously a big difference but these do not look a lot like the original booster boxes because obviously new logo 25th anniversary there's also another thing that I noticed we have a very small legend of blue eyes look how small it is like they shrunk it compared to here's a first edition box so it's gonna be a lot different different logo first dead all that different stuff but yeah look how tiny that is like the text is like really large on the first dead box it is not here same thing with metal raiders look at this thing very tiny very interesting I don't know why it's like that's on all the boxes they just took the logo went whoop doesn't really matter it's just something I figured I'd mention uh thought it was interesting so let's go ahead I'm gonna crack all these boxes open because you know we got five boxes to open today and let's get into it all right guys we've got everything out of the box before we actually get into it I want to remind you guys if you guys want any of these boxes use my code down below with sasciato's link you can get cases or you can get boxes of any of these five sets and it supports the chance on affiliate links so let's get into it let's start opening no particular order here let's just see what we can pull might have a little counter on the screen for who can score you know the most you know let's not do any pack tricks today because this is gonna be a long video you know oh there's a rucksack special first one we have a dd scout plane super rare very nice and if you guys are excited about these openings I will be doing an opening for each one of these sets for the next five days so it's legacy week 3.0 basically and here's what we're gonna be doing for that legacy week we have a high boost at night in a normal glass wait oh yeah didn't do a pectin I'm gonna be opening each of these sets until we pull every single foil so if you're excited for that there will be videos coming in the next five days and then the day after that I think we're gonna do a live stream so we're gonna have seven straight days of legacy content you guys are excited about that it's legacy week 3.0 essentially one two I'm gonna do three okay here we go we have I'm gonna open these like this we have a axe of despair ultra rare our first ultra of the opening not bad we're gonna find out if the ratios are the same as old ones or not I think it'd be very unlikely they would not have the same ratios as the old ones because the legendary collections we open have the same ratios there's no reason to change the ratios also if you're wondering they that was cut open by my knife it seems like uh they probably do not have any 25th anniversary or anything like that inside a lot of people are wondering oh they have 25th anniversary no they don't we would have heard about it by now there's hasn't been any pulled uh I will be shocked if we pull a 25th anniversary card out of these it's just gonna be standard reprints you know with the changes we've already talked about so far a couple foils not bad we've got a axe of despair from magic rule we're gonna DD scout plan from IOC where we get a all right cast number dragon we will be looking for you what is our number one card that we want to pull it blue eyes white dragon's got to be up there genzo of course but you know we always pull genzo let's see if we can do it again okay okay I'm always down to pull genzo again like no matter how many times we pull it I'm still down for more genzo here we go let's see what we can do we have a mechanical snail how many secrets will we pull that's the most interesting thing to me because they never had a ratio in the old school boxes we've always guessed like two to three boxes for one so now we kind of have an idea because we're gonna have cases to be opened and if they took the old ratio seven tools of the band it don't want that out of metal raiders all right ultra rare not the ultra rare we're looking for still a cool card lob so that's not good okay yeah I definitely cut these open because even they made the boxes a little bit bigger I think because if you guys remember my legacy week when I would take and put the 25th anniversaries into the boxes they wouldn't fit in the old boxes because they were so much smaller and they've made them bigger and they still don't fit in these boxes so I was cutting the packs of them because they were sticking out at the top they have a gore turtle evolution nice okay give us something give us something give us something crazy a flame champion the champion of the flame it's crazy that you can open booster boxes and stuff now for like you know whatever it is not a lot of money like check out sassy outo if you want to get one for not a lot of money like these used to be I mean if you're talking about old school and you know boxes even on the limit it's were crazy and we've never had access to boxes until now so or at least uh not the not old ones oh tribute to the doom we got a super rare very cool so far I haven't seen any of our cool commons on a metal raider still looking for those lob here we go we will be opening a lot of these sets over the next week it's going to be fun oh mystical elf super rare I'm super excited for these uh hollow completion videos I'm not going to like set where I'm going to go for all the commons because that might be insane on like metal raiders but we're going to go for all the foils it could take a while though because if you start pulling doubles you never know what's going to happen so I'm really excited to do those videos I was going to do live streams and I was like it wouldn't be a very long live stream probably it'd probably be pretty short it's like so probably I'm going to save the live stream for the end and we'll do a big one at the end I'm not sure exactly what we're going to do for that I could probably just be a ton of the stuff opened but I'm trying to think of a fun thing to do um could go for the set completion all like all at the same time that could be fun confiscation that's a super rare so far not a secret we're pulled guys still looking metal raiders no pecanium off by the way just throwing that out there I will be pulling out every pecanium off that we get we have a stem pack we have a baby dragon they're very cool L.O.B we've gotten what two ultras something like that yeah so there should be 10 total ultras oh guy on the dragon champion our first secret rare I also wonder if they made secret rares one per box in this I wouldn't be shocked if they did that would hurt the value I think but it's not they're not gonna be that valuable anyway because they're reprints but they'll just be a little bit more of them out there okay IOC we've got a secret rare our first secret of the day let's see what we can get here let's get another one no secret crane feel the pain different one about feeling the pain but hey get rhymes okay genzo time maybe we'll get a imperial order this time I'm too good imperial order secret rare I did not see that I did not see that I had no I was like maybe we'll get imperial orders because we always get genzo and guess what we pulled it so we have two secret rare so far we have a bunch of supers couple ultras so this is getting wild okay that was insane um so at this point we've got two secrets we might pull a secret out of every pack maybe or every box I should say not every pack that would be uh that'd be pretty awesome I'd be down for that we have a horn of light let's get blue I soon dragon um Serpent Knight is also a really cool card so I would not be mad if we pulled that Serpent Knight's one of my favorites I finally got a PSA 10 of that card so that's pretty exciting we graded one it won the long time ago what ancient brain feel the pain it was kind of a long time ago but at the same time it wasn't like two years ago things like a year ago maybe all right LLB I got confused I want to order I was there this is going to be kind of a longer video because there is 120 packs to open so hopefully you guys enjoyed the longer video normally it's just two boxes we open on these release days but they came out with five sets at once okay they made it hard on me they made it hard on me to decide what I was going to do we have dark dry seratops grid maju day eyes are very cool psv the pharaohs servant here we go will we pull something crazy major riot ony tank ruckson 34 in there wait is that our first one it's the first one I've seen I'm going to pull that out ony tank ruckson 34 is in the chat let's go and by the chat I mean the comments because we are not live right now I've been live so much recently that I just feel like I'm always live at this point every time I'm recording I feel like I'm live because we've done three streams a week on twitch basically all year I think one week I didn't do three streams um other than that we've had three streams a week we did what not a ton we've done a ton of youtube streams it's been crazy cause it didn't super rare I have never streamed as much there's a cousin moth by the way cousin moth this is easily the most I've ever streamed in one year and we're like halfway through the year so we're doing a lot of streams it's been awesome it's been super fun doing stuff made it bad I thought that was something for some reason I really enjoyed doing twitch it's been so fun with the pokemon content pokorucks has been cranking out the content big burn you can actually see the foil now they updated it so if you guys don't know about big burn this is one of the hardest foils to see on the original print first add an unlimited originals you can't tell it's a super it's so hard you're like is that a super it is so now you can actually see it that's great good change okay let's keep it going but yeah I've been I've been posting a ton of videos on pokorucks been doing a lot of streams we've been doing streams here as well island turtles so it's been it's been a grindy year

live on youtube for these openings as well so I get a dark clown very cool we have a mass sorcerer dragon piper and more infant okay nothing too crazy there lo b the question is did I mess up and like

a 30 minute video but you know be going Dave very cool we have it's really hard not to grab two packs out of here as we go through here uh let me know in the comments how excited are you for opening

because they give you access a couple days early they're also a place for people to play you know place to go you know hang out with other people like cards just it's just a great thing so keep that in mind whenever um sometimes you go to local and you think they might have a slightly higher price than like amazon you know they they got stuff that they're they're bringing to the table so keep

secret rare no gore turtle of illusions ferro servant will we pull a second secret rare is that possible I don't know if the new ratios are one per box maybe it is because then sometimes you might get a little you know a little extra if it's like one every 24 you might end up with two at some point but I don't know if that's the case because we have only pulled three secrets so maybe it isn't we have house adhesive tape very nice stuff metal raiders will you pull us an epic monster card or a non-monster card harpy we have leogon the cool silvan cooled a petimod I'm just saying did they ban

the moth let's go we have a dark elf and a rainbow flower all right blue eyes white dragon i think we need an ultra out of here so we could pull blue eyes let's make it happen we have a monster reborn not a blue eyes but still pretty good another ultra we are pulling some fire today we're get we definitely heated up we start off a little slow with some bad foils ojama black we have a the konga and a heart of the underdog cool pharaoh's servant we have a shadow of eyes we have a fairy meteor crush ony tank ruckson 34 very nice okay spell ruler last couple packs will there be any more foils or is

have dragon piper and thunder dragon okay i don't know if metal raiders what if we pull ultras we have seven tools if we pull anything else we might have an ultra in there we have dark gray i think we might still have an ultra left an mrd turn this thing off here we go we have giga gaga gigo we have a dark mirror force oh what a bad ultra dark mirror force unfortunately the dark side of a mirror force it is bad it is not good okay pharaoh's servant let's finish this thing out with something crazy we have a call of the hot and i didn't wait we pulled three ultras i think we did we pulled three ultra rares yeah let's go so look i guess they are taking the old ratio sometimes you could pull three ultra rares it was pretty unusual but hey if it is unusual i guess we got lucky that's pretty nice spell roller let's see if we can pull three ultras out of some of these other ones i'm gonna look these up at the end and see how many have like weird ratios we can like note those later all right metal raiders very nice very good stuff let's see if we can get at i don't think we've pulled two ultras out of this oh and the regular mirror for it's dark and regular mirror for us let's go that is awesome ain't your brain feel the pain uh lo b still uh still got hope i guess for a third ultra here we go i mean can you get double secrets yet i guess no secret for mrd as well swords are revealing light pretty been a pretty good lob opening to be honest last few packs will we get any crazy ratios and this thing off we have a desk kangaroo very awesome pharaoh's servant last pack of pharaoh's servant these i did definitely mess up somewhere because we're this is our last pack here we have two of some of the other ones we have a insect imitation we got a secret and three ultras that's pretty good on it pharaoh's servant metal raiders your turn can you get a secret rare we the only one that hasn't pulled a secret rare we have soggy we have uh-oh do we get something gay guardian oh my goodness we did get a secret out of every single box so i'm wondering if that means every box is gonna have a secret or if we just got lucky there it is possible we got lucky because if it's one every like two boxes then we could have just grabbed you know a box that has them but okay so i'm interested to see that as i go through if every box is gonna end up with a secret rare because that would be a different ratio than before metabat okay four packs lutz ioc will there be something else inside bean tan mirror we have a dv designator super all right spell ruler anything left maybe a third or fourth ultra at this point i don't even know what we're on we have a mystical space typhoon that is another ultra rare we definitely have three on that one as well metal raiders wow this has been crazy we've got some great luck all right we have a pale beast ruxen 34 genzo number seven we have a king yummy guy i thought we were done like a long time ago we pull a lot more old drills and the final pack the bent legend blue eyes pack will it have something crazy inside hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you have make sure to subscribe the channel for more epic content and more uh 25th anniversary content coming for the next week so keep an eye out for that it's going to be insane terribly terrible can we get something big like a blue eyes white dragon as the third ultra let's do it to ruben and and we're number two we'll have to save that blue eyes pull for tomorrow quick note on the ratios if you guys are interested in this kind of stuff the pharaoh servant actually had eight foils pulled which is more than you would ever get in old school booster box it was either going to be three ultras replacing a super they got three ultras four supers and a secret which is different than old ratios because if you did get three you would always replace either the secret rare or you'd replace a super rare same thing in the magic ruler packs aka spell ruler those were eight foils as well so it looks like you can get all the way up to eight foils in these boxes versus an old school with six to seven here it seems like it's going to be seven to eight if you're guaranteed a secret rare which is pretty interesting so i guess they have up the foil rates slightly shout out to tom foe show daxer jt show puffins of doom or nestle dnm the cycle america doister supreme stage 21 and undertie show ian moussa junior barding and mimic echo thank you guys for supporting the channel and i'll see you guys in the next one peace


Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and today we're gonna talk about genocide. So today is Thursday, February 18th, about two days ago President Biden gave this town hall and in that he said this. You know, Chinese leaders, if you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven't been unified at home. So the central, to vastly overstate it, the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China and he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that. I point out to him, no American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn't reflect the values of the United States. And so the idea, I'm not gonna speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in Western mountains of China and Taiwan trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful. I said, and by the, he said, he gets it. Culturally, there are different norms at each country and their leaders are expected to follow. So if that doesn't concern you at all, let me tell you why it should. First of all, he is talking about the, I think it's pronounced weger, the weger people in China, which is a people group within China. Often, in case you don't know this, China is actually extremely ethnically diverse. There's a lot of different minorities in China, but the Chinese government just kind of suppresses it and just says, you know, we're all Han Chinese, which is not even close to true, by the way. So this is a people group in China that are predominantly Muslim that right now are being sent to camps. Like it is documented, this is a thing. I'm gonna link a BBC article below here, which I'm gonna talk about in a second, but it's a thing. It's a documented thing that they are openly persecuting the weger people and putting them into reeducation camps, okay? Classic communist stuff. And among the things going on in these camps are potential genocide, although I haven't seen any confirmed reports about that, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.  Everything you think about, you know, the evils of when government starts putting people in camps, that's what's happening here. If the president of the United States is afraid to speak out against a government that rounds people up, puts them in camps, and then has women raped because, you know, cultural differences, I don't know what to tell you. If you're on board with that, if you're like, oh, what's the big deal? I don't really have a word for you on that. That to me seems pretty self-explanatory.   He negotiated with Hitler. He thought he could be peaceful with Hitler. He thought Hitler would listen.  That's what this is, only worse.  You know, if he wants to round people up and put them in camps, I mean, what's the problem? It's literally the same thing. You show me the difference there. You show me the difference between having praise Hitler for putting people in camps and then praising China for putting people in camps. They're both putting people in camps that are ethnic minorities. It's disgusting. And the fact that a president isn't willing to stand up for that is a big problem. He also mentions Hong Kong. I'm sure we all remember the issues with Hong Kong, a Hong Kong went back to China and it was supposed to remain. It's kind of its own thing for about 50 years, but that lasted less than 50 days before China started moving in and is now folding them into the Chinese system and how things are gonna work and establishing communist rule and wiping out freedom of speech and on and on and on. So, okay, if you're an American watching this video, why should you care? We should be like, well, why should I care that the president, because the same government that is okay, the same president that is okay with some other government putting people in camps now wants you to surrender your guns, right? I still have it from the last video I did. Here's HR 127, which I have another video on that. If you haven't watched that yet, go ahead and watch it. One of the most egregious gun control bills in the history of America is now up right now and the Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House and you better believe they're gonna try to pass some kind of gun legislation. So the government that's okay with putting people in camps wants me to surrender my right to protect myself from going into a camp to them. Again, if you don't see the problem with that, if that doesn't inherently ring a red flag in your head, I'm not sure what to tell you. That should be a danger warning sign. So you have some choices to make and they're gonna come to you very soon.  If a government wants to disarm you and is cool with putting people in camps because of whatever reason, that should terrify you. That should terrify you and you should start thinking about the choices you're gonna make if those things come down the pipe because the more and more I think about it, I don't see how it's not gonna come down the pipe. I don't see how the same president that is totally cool with some other government putting their own people in camps and having systematic rapes and doing all this other horrible, horrible stuff, how that president now thinks that I should turn my gun over to him for safety. That's terrifying. And for anyone who still would say, oh, that could never happen in America, that won't happen, you're crazy, you're paranoid, I would just tell you to read a history book. People are people. People will do the same thing.   People are inherently sinful and do inherently bad things. And when anybody from any time period in any culture and history has too much power, it goes bad. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. There's a reason we have that maxim, okay? I'm afraid for the future of this country. I'm afraid for how bad things are gonna get. Nobody wants them to actually get that bad. But you have a government run by people who don't think you have rights and want you to surrender all of them to them so that they can keep you safe. Again, if you look at a simple survey of history, that never works out, ever. Do brave deeds and endure.


It's a sure sign of spring when you start seeing asparagus in the grocery store I'm going to show you my favorite way to prepare asparagus first of all when I bring it home from the store You know usually when you find it in the produce department. It's standing up in a bunch in some water So when I bring it home if I'm not going to prepare be preparing it right away I do the same thing I get a nice big mug I put the whole bunch of asparagus right into the cup until with a little bit of water until I'm ready to Prepare it and this is my favorite way and probably one of the easiest ways there is first of all I snap off the woody ends of the stock and to do that I just kind of snap it breaks right where it's supposed to if you want to you can save these woody ends to Prepare a broth if you're making some creamy asparagus soup and Once I've already rinsed it so they're nice and clean I've got them on an aluminum foil lined Baking sheet and then I'm just going to drizzle them with some oil and today. I'm using avocado oil Sunflower oil is a nice choice. They're both really they hold up well to really high heat and my oven is set at 425 degrees So I probably have two to three tablespoons of oil here And that's the trick you want to be generous with the oil and then roll them around so that they're totally covered with the oil and then arrange them back into a nice single layer on your sheet and Then a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and just sprinkle the salt right over the asparagus and a little bit of pepper and Then it's ready to go right into the oven at 425 degrees Your baking time will depend on the thickness of your asparagus spears so this asparagus was in the oven for about 10 minutes and It's nice and toasty brown on the outside. It's tender not mushy on the inside And sometimes I even leave it in the oven a little bit longer And it gets a little bit crunchy on the outside but still tender on the inside. It's like being french fries My favorite way to prepare asparagus. I'm Sue Dodin sharing good food for good life 365


So we're here in the Tessaloniki at the Nanotechnology Conference and hi, so who are you? Hi, I'm Arianna Fuga from EDP Sciences. I'm a senior publishing editor the company EDP Sciences is an international publisher of academic journals proceedings and books Based in France. So for example, this one is applied physics is every month This one is yes. It's every month. It's the journal. It's the European physical journal applied physics. So who are the researchers that get published here? Researchers are from all the world. First of all, there are physicists in applied physics and we have in the scope For example, physicists working on semiconductors and devices physics of organic materials and devices, thin films, photonics and so on. And so how do you choose what gets published? Well, these journals as well as they add all our journals are peer-reviewed. So articles are submitted usually in the journal and then they get peer-reviewed. An editorial board is going to find referees, people who will review the articles and after acceptance articles are published it's the classical way of publishing scholarly articles. The classical way is it that every university does this? But you're a private company, right? We are a private company. We belong to learn societies. Belong to who? To learn societies. And it's French company? The company is international. It's based in France. We have a very interesting history. Next year the company will have a century and it was the first stakeholders were very known scientists, Marie Curie, Louis de Broglie and other distinguished scientists. So Marie Curie is one of the founders? One of the first stakeholders, yes. And the journal, the company was at the beginning founded in order to make the merging of two journals, the Journal de Physique and the radio. At that time they wanted to merge the two. Radio? The radium. Yes. And here you talk about some other things. Is this every six months or when is this coming out? This one is bimathely. Twice a month. Once in every two months. Yes, this is a journal that one of the very huge journals that have, for example, not only English but also French language articles. In the same... Yes, it's a mix. Nice. It's good for me because I can understand both, right? Some people understand both. Yeah, and this is a journal that publishes articles and materials scientists and in the use of materials. And what do you talk about here? Well, I have brought here many of our sample of journals that we publish in open access. The DP-Size is an editor that is very strongly involved in the open access movement. For example, I take this journal, EPG Applied Metamaterials, European Physical Journal Applied Metamaterials, is a journal in open access. This is the editor-in-chief and the journal publishes work on metamaterials. The peer reviewing is done as for the other journals in which are not in open access and for this year still we have a model, an economic model for this journal where that we call Liberty APCs, Liberty Article Processing Charges. This means that authors can pay if they have if they have funding can pay for this journal, but if they don't have they cannot. They don't have to. They don't have to. It's voluntary contributions. Yes, for some years. We have some journals that we have in this model. And this is also another one? Yes, this also is in this model and this is publishes articles on manufacturing. I'll show you the editor-in-chief. And so what's the big move to do this open access? He says right here, open access. Does that mean because those in general the journals have not been free access or have not been open for everybody to access? Usually the journals are under subscription. And now we know that the the movement in Europe, at least in Europe, is to go towards the open science, so publishing research for every which will be available for everybody. Worldwide, for free. Worldwide, but this has a cost. The publishing has a cost, so this research also and these models needs to be funded. For the moment, we try to launch this kind of journals. EDP Sciences already has made an agreement with the French biggest consortium Coupre, for the French institutions. Authors coming from the institutions that have joined the agreement can publish without paying anything in open access in our journals. And we try to make these kind of agreements with other countries as well. What is this for open? This is our very new project. This is a mega journal that is in open access. It's newly launched and this journal is really compliant with the open science. It is based in open access, open data, open code and open peer review. We just begin to apply the open peer review in this journal. How does it work? Open peer review? That means that we first, in the first stage, will publish the reviews of the articles with, surely, with a confirmation of authors, with the permission of authors and peer reviewers, and it will begin just in the few coming months. So, EDP Sciences have been involved in the last century of scientific innovations in a big way? Yes, sure. We try to apply the new innovations also in publishing industry. And these are the applied peer review, open access and open peer review. And what is a web of conferences? And this is our platform to publish open, in open access, conference proceedings. Proceedings are published in journals of proceedings. And these journals are one, for example, in one conference, one volume of the journal, and the journals are indexed in the basis of proceedings. And so people can just go online and see the whole conference? Yes. The video? Yes, also video can, we don't, for the moment, I don't know if we have too many... Can you just use YouTube, maybe? But it is possible. Maybe YouTube links or something. This could be a good idea for the next stage. For the moment, we can have a supplementary material online video as well. All right. And here's some more information about that. What else are you doing? Many things? We do also books. We do some books, maybe about 50, 70 books per year. Mostly books in French, but also someone in English. And we begin also to publish books in open access in our platform. And index books. Is the EU funding this, pushing for open access? Is the EU promoting it? EU is trying to make this kind of publishing an open size in general, a reality in all countries. But it can help to speed up science. If this becomes a new standard, right? Yes, yes. Then there will be no... This is the position of Europe, yes. There will be no barriers, there will just be quick innovation, right? And how is the French science compared to English language science? How would you compare? French is, the French are doing a lot? French are doing a lot, surely, but they communicate very, very, very much in English. So it's already mostly in English? There is also some French. For example, in this journal, Materia Technica, I have still articles in French. All right. OK, so, and here you have the nanotechnology here in Tessaloniki. So you just continue and continue to network with all the scientists and engineers? Sure. We, the purpose is to network with science and engineers also to participate in the conferences and try to follow what is going on, what are the innovations, what are the European projects that are going on. So it's a global, not only network, but also following science and also inviting authors to publish in our journals and make known our open access journals and proceedings. Do you organize conferences or? No, we don't. You don't, but you do all the publishing around it, maybe? Exactly. All right, for a century, which is awesome. Yes, yes. OK, thank you. Thank you.

On Saturday June 17th, Pikeville will be hosting its first ever river run beginning at 10am at the Jubilee Christian Assembly parking lot. Participants can expect giveaways, free lunch and a day of fun. For those who have their own kayak, they can bring in and enjoy an afternoon of smooth sailing on the river. You know, it's pretty straightforward. This is the Pikeville River Trail. We're starting at the main beginning of it, which is the Indian Hills behind Jubilee Church. We're going to be meeting at 10am sharp, 10am sharp that morning because we've got a pretty strict timeline. It's about a four and a half to five hour float when we count lunch included into that. So we'll be meeting at 10. We will be having some raffles, some gift cards and stuff like that. Everybody signs up or when they get there, they'll register. They'll get a ticket for those raffles and we'll do a quick safety briefing and we're going to be hitting the river sharp at 10.30. So we need everybody there that's been registered to come. We need them there at 10 o'clock and then we're going to be hitting the river at 10.30. That way we can, you know, our timeline works out with meeting up for lunch and then getting on down to the end of the river trail so we have time to get all the kayaks and stuff out and loaded. Collins also mentions there will be conservation officers present to provide river safety tips and other helpful insights. Their goal is to make sure everyone floats down the river without any problems. Conservation officers, their primary goal here is going to be, you know, for one, some community engagement and two, to kind of help spread the word on how to, you know, navigate this river in a safe manner, as well as, you know, we're going to be answering questions that could be fishing related questions could be, you know, like ecology type questions. There'll be a diverse group of people there to answer this type of stuff. So if anybody's interested in that, we would love to have you. You know, we're going to be discussing a lot of water safety, water regulations. The conservation officers will be talking about, you know, all the fishing regulations and rules and just how to stay safe on the river. You know, moving water like that, it comes with its share of dangers, of course. And, you know, we're wanting to put a big emphasis on water safety for this event. You know, we want people to utilize the river, but want people to do it safely. Reporting from out on top news. I'm Nick Colum.


Verified, pass it off. I'm Second Lieutenant Dutch Franco Dines. I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I joined the Army because I always knew I wanted to serve. I always wanted to pay back what this country has given me in terms of opportunities. Opportunities for my family members, friends. It's given a lot to me. I figure I should pay it back. And I knew that through service, I could not just pay back the country, but I could also help protect those and the values that I hold close to me. I was trying to be combat arms. I wanted to be more on the ground doing stuff. I like being in the suck, so to say. I don't mind doing hard work. I like working alongside people. I don't like office jobs as much. And I figured the best way to do that was through combat arms. If you're thinking about joining, do it. It's worth it. A lot of opportunities, both on the enlisted and officer side. And no matter where you end up or what you're doing, you're going to serve alongside some great people.
