Hi and how are you all today? Let us start with the question which is given to us. It says if A cross B is equal to the audit pair is given out AX, AY, BX, BY find A and B. So here we'll use the definition of Cartesian product of sets, sets A and B and they are defined as P is equal to the audit pair AB where A belongs to set A and B belongs to set B. These are the element, element A belongs to set A and element B belongs to set B. The set of all audit pairs A for all A and B. Alternatively, we can say that the first element of the audit pair belongs to set A and the second element of the audit pair belongs to set B. We shall use this idea to solve this problem. We are given that A cross B is equal to having the audit pair as AX, AY, BX, B, Y and we have to find the set A and P. As a consequence of the definition of Cartesian product of two sets, we stated that the first element belongs to set A and the second element belongs to set B, right? Now here the first element of the audit pair will belong to set A and the second pair of the audit pair belongs to set B. Similarly, we have written down A already. We need to write down Y. That is new to us. Now the first element of the audit pair belongs to A and this completes our elements of set A and B. So the answer comes out to be A is equal to having elements AB and set B are having elements X, Y. This becomes the answer which we were supposed to find out. So for solving this type of problem, we need to know the Cartesian product of sets A and B, which is defined as A cross B is equal to AB where the first element of the audit pair belongs to set A and the second element of the audit pair belongs to set B. So I hope you enjoyed the session and found this question easier also. Bye for now.


In module three of our philosophy and science course, the topic explored will be faith, physics, and the relationship between the two, a theme that will be explored in lectures by professors Tom McLeish and Michael Murray. The question of whether there is room for faith or more generally religious belief within a wider scientific worldview is one that has importance far beyond just abstract philosophical debate. This question crops up in heated political discussions and it has important ramifications for policy, law, and education. This with most difficult philosophical questions. The question of the compatibility of faith and physics requires some careful disambiguation. In one very trivial sense, of course faith and physics can complement one another. After all, the physical laws of the universe clearly permit faith just as they permit dogmatism, atheism, and other kinds of belief. And likewise, one could come to accept physical laws on the basis of faith, just as one could come to endorse a particular religious claim or set of religious claims on the basis of faith. But these kinds of trivial compatibilities don't get at the heart of things. Just as we saw in the dispute about relativism and absolutism in science, the mere fact of a diversity of scientific perspectives is something we can all agree about. So likewise, the fact that faith and physics and more generally religion and science are compatible in the trivial ways just noted is more or less uncontroversial. Let's think more carefully now about what is that issue here and we take the compatibility between the two to be a deep and difficult philosophical question. That's what we have in mind is something like this. Physics, like any branch of science, is bound by certain methods and faith, in some relevant sense, falls outside of such methods. Therefore, given that both faith and physics constitute widespread modes of organizing the perspective we take on ourselves in the world, the alleged fact that their methods have little in common gives rise to a puzzle. Something like this is closer to the right track. However, there's still room to be clearer. Consider that even if we grant that faith understood as a method falls outside the kind of scientific method characteristic of physics. It's not clear, at least yet anyway, where the interesting conflict lies. After all, dreaming, hoping, imagining, and many other aspects of our cognitive and emotional lives fall outside the methods of science, and yet we don't take this fact to establish any deep or interesting question about the compatibility of physics with these kinds of attitudes. So why physics and faith, or more generally religious belief? Presumably, the heart of the matter must be specified in terms of how the methods or claims characteristic of one mode would seem to not just be independent of, but to positively exclude the methods or claims characteristic of the other mode. And once we begin to question the nature and extent of such exclusion, we find a range of more interesting and much more specific philosophical questions. Our lectures by Professor McLeish and Professor Murray will approach some of these more specific issues. McLeish and Murray both approach the issue of the compatibility of faith and more generally religious belief and physics by looking at a range of concrete cases which can help us to better understand what's at stake here and how to critically think about the issues raised in light of recent work in philosophy, science, and religion.

The both services are live today's podcast as being broadcast on twitch.tv and on my facebook page michael w smith and on my facebook group Hardcore christianity Thank you for tuning in today The secrets to anster prayer. Can you imagine that? Wow That's a tough one, isn't it? Actually, it isn't Check this out Jesus had shared with uh the people The number one parable he ever spoke he explained to the entire gospel message In one parable the parable of the solar Everybody's read that parable and it's the greatest of all parables After he got done with that parable His disciples were confused because they heard him say jesus said Whoever has an ear to hear Let him hear It's a weird statement And the disciples came to him later it says and they said to jesus. Why do you speak to them in parables? Well remember, uh the people that were hearing the gospel For the first time Illustrated by the parable of the sore the greek word is parabolae It means um an illustration Something you're using a metaphor so to speak You're telling a story about this but it actually means that it's a parable And it's not easily understood The only way to understand it is if you pursue it with sincere interest And so jesus says to the disciples It listen it wasn't given to them Like it's been given to you The disciples had left their families They had left their friends To follow christ they had made a major sacrifice of their lives to become christians and become trained As holy ghost ministers under jesus's ministry And jesus said These people out here they have not done that They are coming to be healed to be delivered And to hear the good news And jesus said to the disciples it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven But to them it is not given Why wasn't it given? That was the reason the disciples had sacrificed To hear the gospel And be a part of the gospel and be trained as a gospel minister And The people had not They were just coming to the services so to speak To be healed or delivered They had not done what the disciples did and so jesus said you get to know the mysteries of the kingdom of god And i speak to you plainly But to them But to them I don't speak that way I speak in parables now. Why was he doing that? Jesus was trying to weed out The carnal christians And that's exactly what happens today The holy spirit weeds out the carnal christians And he gives his the anointing of christ and the power of christ and the gifts of the spirit To those people who are god seekers They're god seekers And the parables were designed to weed out people who had a casual interest in god because If you're interested in god as casual You're not going to seek The kingdom of god and his righteousness. You're not going to push it You're just going to hear it and Well, that's an interesting story. I really can't figure it out. I got to go to lunch Parables are designed to weed people out They're not designed to give people specific divine revelations They're designed to see who Is motivated To understand the parable The disciples didn't get information in parables Because they had already sacrificed their lives They had already given their lives and they were already pursuing christ So he spoke plainly with them Then jesus says something interesting Whoever has To him will be given more and he shall have more abundance More abundance. Okay, so someone who has Blessings from god and keeps pursuing god for more Will receive more you will have you will go from abundance to more abundance But people who are not god seekers he says whoever has Not From him shall be taken away even what little he does have What are we talking about here? motivation motivation Jesus said therefore I talked to them in parables. That's how I talked to them And they see that they don't see They have ears. They don't hear they have eyes, but they don't see Why interest desire Determination and motivation And then jesus quotes a great prophet isaia. He says By hearing you will not hear and by and not understand and by seeing you will not perceive For these people their hearts are hardened They're dull their ears are dull They can't hear their eyes They have closed Notice that they closed them Less at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears They should understand with their heart And be converted Then be healed notice that That The great pain deception and insanity of Of our evangelistic system you take people like greg lorry billy graham louis pilau And and the other big crusaders Is that the message they preach was a generalized one Trying to welcome as many people into the kingdom of god as possible And so these systems are set up To make it easy to get saved They make it easy to come to god That's a big mistake I do the exact opposite.  I weed out people Who are not interested in healing and deliverance. I weed them out by preaching Hardcore christianity In these crusades they make being saved so easy That 80 to 90 percent of the people and all the crusades backs life Within six months They've done research on this and it's been fully documented They're gone why because you come down you say a sinner's prayer you fill out a card You take the card and give it to the church in the person's geographic locale and then Hopefully they come to church Or you'll make a minister ministry call upon the family or that person Then you get them to come to church on sunday morning at wednesday night bible study and they maybe go to sunday school and so on And because these people are fallen to the parable the sower Some of the seed falls on the road Some of it falls over on some rocks Excuse me. Some of it falls in thorns right And they're gone and they're gone. That's exactly what big time evangelism does It's great for proclamations Proclamating christ as the king That's that's great. It does a really good job with that, but it does a terrible job with Getting people actually born again And it does a hideous job With discipleship See what god wants to do is find out who's really interested in him. Here's why A thousand people who are casually interested in god Are useless One person sold out becomes a spiritual monster In the kingdom of god the holy ghost can do more with one person Filled with a holy ghost with burning desire for god Then he can a thousand other carnal christians So the lord wants to work with people Who are what? Yeah, they're absolutely dedicated.  He's talking to sulliman and uh, he gets a prophetic word My son sulliman the lord says A god of your father you must serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind For the lord searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations and thoughts Of the heart and if you seek him he will be founded you But if you forsake him He will cast you off What happened to sulliman when he got cast off the demons took him they outsmarted him And remember this was his most intelligent man that ever lived Got completely smashed by demons.  He's not even mentioned In uh, he bruised chapter 11 the faith hall of fame We don't even know if the guy went to heaven or not Nothing about his fate is even mentioned. It's terrible What happened there sulliman started out perfect He was aggressive His desire was strong and his pursuit of god was spectacular But in his heart in his heart It didn't last It did not last Check out ecclesiastes chapter one here The preacher says I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom All things that are done under heaven And the sore travail has god given to the sons of man to be exercised There by What's sulliman saying hey god set up this system Of answered prayer miracles signs wonders healings deliverances everything else gifts of the spirit He set these things up But they're only eligible for god seekers People who will fight Pursue and travail The great prophet Jeremiah Was a really interesting person And he was a hardcore dude And jehovah said one time To him, I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the lord thoughts of peace not of evil to give you And expected and ti qua Ti qua is the Hebrew word It means To fulfill your hopes and dreams I want to do that for you.  You can't get the anointing that way. You're not going to get miracles that way You're not going to get answers to your prayers that way and You have to Pursue it push it You got a yellow streak on your back.  This is x-rated. Hold on your seat.  Okay Please don't kill yourself because I said that I know you're going to stay in shock You're going to have to make sacrifices To find your destiny You cannot casually get it Dinner prayers don't work Here jesus, please bless our food. Thank you for our gathering Please bless and nourish our bodies in the name of jesus Thank you. Amen No, okay Bag it Bag it It's not going to work That's good to bless a meal. That'll work But you're looking for far more than a male blessing So you're you're looking to be used In the spirit by the holy ghost. That's what you're looking for That's what you want. You're not going to find it without making sacrifices Jesus was unique of course from any human that's ever lived or ever will live no one will ever attain what he attained And The reason for that is he was able to sacrifice Excuse me 100% Of his mind his conscience his soul his spirit and his body 100% of it Was turned over to his heavenly father. Yahweh. Jehovah 100% of it. Okay. No one ever did that before No one ever did that since Okay, that is our goal in life That's our goal in life. It will never become a reality But that's still our goal. That is our objective to have the mind of christ perfectly And to make a complete sacrifice to god 100% Okay, that sounds like bad news and it kind of is Here's the good news. You don't have to be at jesus's level to have a staggering miracle ministry And to get healed and delivered from demons You do not have to have that level of commitment Okay, you have to be a god seeker a pursuer Okay, here i'll prove it to you In matthew chapter eight the dying leper came to jesus and he was worshiping him and he said lord Uh if you want to You could make me clean the greek word for want to there is uh thalo And that's exactly what it means if you want to I know you can but do you want to And jesus said thalo back I want to Be clean But see how this miraculous miracle happened his whole body was loaded with leprosy.  It's it's a horrible disease the skin necrophyses I just made that term up and it dies Then it falls off your body What happened oops I just lost my finger Can you imagine this guy loaded with leprosy digits missing Instantly cleansed and healed imagine that other supernatural miracles might bother correct sure it was How did it happen though? Well almost had been something jesus did no The holy spirit put that story in the New testament to matthew eight, right? Why because this leper Paid a severe price for this healing. He made sacrifices Leppers were not allowed to live in the communities. They were in the valley of the lepers or some other place caves Uh old sepulchers they lived out of town If they came into town they could get stoned because it was a communicable disease And they could spread leprosy to the communities okay A little bit like the kovat vaccine kind of confining the herd out killing people this guy sacrificed his health His welfare and his own life Not to mention the difficulty he had getting to jesus. He had to run him down And he was physically ill. It's very difficult To go places and ambulate and go from one point to the other obviously if you are totally disabled And you can see That because this man Had the right stuff So to speak the steal from the movie He got a miracle from god and god he was looking for people Exactly like this dying leper. He wants you to be just like the dying leper He didn't want you to have leprosy. He wants you to pursue And prioritize your life Like this dying leper again. Is that amazing? Sure it is That's why the story is in the bible The focus of the story is not the healing It's the reaction of the leper to god In that same chapter You remember the story of the centurion Right a centurion was was a Supervisor of a hundred soldiers and They were one section of a legion one one hundredth of a legion And this centurion Was a man of authority and power And they lived in the communities In their own homes And many of their soldiers lived near them in the communities Yeah, so there were pockets of these Roman soldiers all over the place Well, his son is dying and the guy's panicking and he hears about jesus And what was interesting about the centurion was he had A respect for jahovah and probably attended synagogue services He had a good reputation of the jews and in fact the bible says he had built A synagogue for the jews Because centurions they were wealthy and they were well paid They were very respected in the community And they were very powerful They had authority left and right And He came to jesus Begging him the bible says he was begging jesus He said lord my my son's laying at home. He's got He's paralyzed The greek word is paraluticus. It means to have a spinal cord in here.  He's a god seeker He's sacrificed. He's overcome. He's pushing him. He's pushing him. No yellow streak on this guy's bag I will come and heal him And the centurion Says wow, I don't need you to To spend a day or so traveling to my house.  I give orders.  That's the Hebrew word for the messiah. He knew about the messiah. He respected the jews he understood Judaism to a degree he had heard and been taught about the messiah and realized that jesus was in fact him He saw it saw the signs of the messiah. It's it's in Isaiah.  That's the greek word for mazzo It means to be stunned jesus jaw fell open you're kidding This guy's not even jewish Remember the story. It's a math chapter eight.   They saw the miracles They had exposure to all of god's blessings They didn't do anything about it You see that You can see here now how going to church actually hurts you and doesn't and and does not help you If you go to church and you hear truth and you don't apply that truth it actually damages you by going to church Yeah, because you are responsible For what you hear Whoever has more will be given and you'll have even more abundance But what little you have is going to be taken from you. You're going to lose that too Why? It's all about attitude. It's all about your determination. It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice to receive Power of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit Unfortunately, I get Prophets and seers come in for deliverance and these people are subject up. You can't even imagine them if you're a prophet and a seer Wow You may be having some serious problems in your future The vast majority of prophets and seers in the united states are fake They're loaded with familiar spirits and they're not real And many of these prophets are out giving words to people But if you look at their background, you'll notice that They're these enormous and powerful spiritual people, but their lives are jacked up Their personal life sucks Things aren't going right their finances are jacked Their health is jacked up These people don't understand They don't understand they're being deceived If you look at a true prophet of god, there's very few of them out there almost none They have made enormous sacrifices And they are humble broken servants That you can spot a mile away The prophets we got in the charismatic and the prophetic movement these people are all Party in and having a great spiritual time They are not crushed broken servants You can spot them a mile away. It's so easy to do These two healings give you an exact example of what god wants you to do The two demon possessed men Of gergacinas We're in this chapter matthew chapter eight and These guys got delivered from demons They were what we would term in our language smis They're smis severely mentally ill And these guys both got delivered why they came after jesus And it says in the greek krazo. They were screaming at him Yelling at him for help the two demonized men of gergacinas Got delivered why they were god seekers They were god seekers And then later on you'll notice After they got delivered Half the town came out to see what was going on They couldn't believe it Everybody knew who these two psychos were And when they got healed people were absolutely in a state of shock They came out to find out what was going on That's good Excuse me. That's the purpose of miracles is to draw somebody to god But guess what happened? Yeah, parables soar. They just faded off They asked him to leave They asked jesus to leave Because they were afraid they didn't understand deliverance I'm scared Remember the story about the boy on the cot Yeah, that's in matthew chapter nine an incredible miracle How'd that kid get healed? Well, the kid didn't do anything. He had paraluticus. He had a spinal cord injury He couldn't walk so his family and his loved ones. What do you want?  Well, these guys were climbed up on the roof with this paralyzed boy And wow they dropped me through the roof and it was a mess Dust and dirt and tile falling everywhere. What happened there? The bible says that jesus Saw their faith Then he realized that the boy Had emotional problems that were more damaging than his physical problems. So in this particular case Inner healing occurred first and that's happened to me a hundred thousand times in my ministry I have seen somebody physically healed after The inner healing took place first I do it all the time Jesus did it in this incident And he told the kid Yeah, you're consumed with guilt and shame but Your sins Are forgiven you can you imagine that? And everybody's sitting around Couldn't believe what jesus said They were stunned and jesus had the gift of knowledge running at maximum capacity. So he literally could In a way read their mind and it says jesus knowing their thoughts The greek word is idu it means to see He actually saw their thoughts What they were thinking And they were questioning his authority to forgive this kid's sins Back then People thought it was easier to get healed Than forgiven and our society now the way we operate it We think it's easier to get forgiven than it is to get healed the things we burst flipped And jesus said why why are you thinking this evil in your hearts? The greek word word there this punters means Perversion why are you perverting the truth in your hearts? He was reading their he could see their thoughts He said what's easier for me to do to forgive someone's sins or to heal them with spinal cord injury and Just to prove his point he told the boy to get up and go home He did he got up picked up his cotton went home. Why because jesus saw their faith And they saw the relatives that had brought in probably four of them Carrying each corner of the cot and then the other relatives that went with them were just standing around watching He saw how determined they were He saw they had made sacrifices He saw they were ready to go And they had pushed their way in they had pressed their way in Guess what happened? The natural result of that when you do that with god is a miracle. It's a deliverance. It's A healing You say everybody who pursues god It steps out in their faith It's routine for them to get miracles routine Well, why are prayers so difficult to answer? Why don't why are there so few miracles?  I'm healed Can I get healed and just flip the switch there click I'm healed You know, I got bipolar man My brain's jacked up Can you fix my brain for me here fix it fix my brain quick it's fixed That was the purpose of the parables to weed out people Who are not god seekers They're not god seekers Like I've been in this ministry for a long time years and years and years I have seen so many people not get delivered. You would not even believe it And the pattern is always the same They're not pushing it They haven't prioritized their life They're not making sacrifices And they're not seeking the lord with all their heart You will seek me and you will find me When you search for me with all your heart says the lord And I will be found of you I have people all the time contact me Dozens of people a week. Hey, can I come in and get Healed and delivered.   To pursue God almighty In matthew chapter nine another miracle happens.   Well telonus tax farmers were despised In israel Jerusalem They hated him He was a perfect candidate For a superpowered Holy ghost healing and deliverance ministry Why because matthew before he came to christ was already accustomed to Adversity and persecution So the persecution of the gospel Was not going to be a shock to him. He had been persecuted and hated From the first day he took that job As a tax collector Made a lot of money had a good life But he had no friends his family took left him He was miserable But he understood persecution and that asset Became monumental later in his ministry After jesus went back to heaven He wrote this incredible gospel The gospel of matthew Thing is spectacular say at least Matthew sacrificed everything he had You imagine that He gave up his wealth He gave up his home. He lived in a luxury house He had a bunch of tax farmers who were friends of his he left He made a major sacrifice in his life to become A disciple and later an apostle of the lord jesus That's what god is saying to you.  I'll talk about it God has not given us a spirit here, but a loud power in the sound mind The weak word for fear there is Julia it means cowardice Should have been translated god has not given us a spirit of cowardice It's just translated right That was the context of the text too by the way he was talking about Timothy who was starting to become coward He started to shrink back because of the persecution And paul was trying to get him to Step up God's going to take care of you fight back No yellow streaks Matthew made an enormous sacrifice to god to become a disciple That cost him everything cost him a lot of money Cost him all his friends When i came to god years ago my youngest daughter tracy led me to the lord I lost all my friends All my secular friends all gone He didn't associate with him anymore. I just left I gave up my secular counseling practice I was a millionaire. I had a six figure income, you know back in the early 90s when a six figure income, you know Was really a decent living nowadays six figure incomes. No big deal Back then Hey, that was that was a good money I gave all that up. I let that stuff go because I saw the holy spirit moving And I wanted a piece of him.  She was dying She was broke. Okay. She had gone to dr. Fauci and all the other doctors. He couldn't help her of course She was dying and she exercised her faith through adversity Faith through adversity gets miracles from god The woman was dying. She was weak. She was sick. She pressed her way through the mob She Got to the street where jesus was And he was on top of her. He was right there So she had to dive for that tassel She said if I can just touch the tassel My cancer will be The king james germ is stanched Everybody needs a good stanching. I know that And sure enough She was healed How'd she get healed? How did blind barameas get healed? How'd the two blind men get healed? How did the woman issue of blood get healed? How did these things work? How did the apostle paul become the greatest christian that ever lived?   You don't get two Everybody has their life and they they want to do their own thing. They want to be I just want to be me Well, it takes a lot for a person to sacrifice their life And put god ahead of their spouse and kids their career Their own life it's difficult to do it's not easy And that was the purpose of the parables people and wanted an easy god got weeded out And only the pursuers and the god seekers got through the parable They pursued understanding of what the parable was actually teaching And went on to receive quote more abundance And that's what god's calling you to You cannot out give god you give the lord something What your time your energy your love your money whatever it is If you give that to god you cannot out giving he has so much more than we have if you did this it's absurd God's a good god the bible says god is love the bible says And you're gonna get you're gonna reap what you can and believe right now But you have to sow determination You got to so effort You have to overcome adversity You got to push it You got to kill this thing Hmm if drug sex and rock and roll are more important to you You're done.    They don't understand your call You're not going to support it. They don't get it And the disciples didn't get it either they didn't understand mother's love They didn't understand the determination to get to god of this syrian woman. She went into jewish went into jewish They didn't like her besides that women were Runts of their society that's true to this day You go to the middle east women are second-class citizens Women have more rights in the united states when they have anywhere else in the entire world. I mean Back then nothing She didn't care see love causes you to go places Nobody else will go Love causes you To seek god when everybody else Stops and takes it easy So jesus then said to her What do you want? Said my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon The demonian The spirits Chill in her and jesus said well wait a minute. You're not even jewish And deliverance is the children's bread deliverance for christians not sinners listen It's not proper for me to take the children's bread Off the table and throw it to the puppies We don't do that The dogs eat the food at the table. We don't throw food down to the puppies. Kunarian is the greek word means puppies He called her a puppy wasn't a derogatory term. It was a common term of the day. It was the class separations class distinctions And the woman says that's true lord I'm with you. I understand that but You got to remember some The puppies They eat the crumbs that fall From the bread on the master table the masters the lords They're eating the bread on the table, but sometimes crumbs fall on the floor and sometimes and the puppies give those crumbs And i'm a puppy and i'm underneath the table, but You just speak the word only like that centurion said My daughter's delivery.  She heard the parable Didn't understand it, but he was determined to research it and figure it out and press her way in So she could have more abundance More abundant And that's what god's telling you today Yeah Who am i talking to right now on on the podcasts on the facebook on the twitch who am i talking to A small percent of christians will will listen to this message And benefit from it. I already know that I already know 98 percent of this message is going to go right in the toilet That's okay with me. I'm looking for the two percent Two percent two percent Will say to themselves, you know what I most of my prayers are not answered Yeah, you know, I don't see the signs wonders miracles give things I'm not in my destiny and I need to be there and this message is perfect for me I got to become a god seeking fervent monster I got to hunt jesus down like the centurion And the syrian mother I got hunting down I can't seem I got a yell to getting my blind bar to mess I got a stalking like the two blind men God loves stalkers, you know, he loves people who stalking he just loved it The two blind men were stalking him They both went home with perfect eyesight 2020 Just like that How about you You ready? Okay If you need further help just send me an email mike at hardcore christianity.com I'll see you next sunday on this podcast at nine o'clock mountain time 11 o'clock eastern Don't forget about my teaching service friday nights at the deliverance center and God wants to bless you and help you and He's going to do it if You seek him with all your heart If you become a god seeker if you stop making excuses You stop whining Nothing going right for me. Okay. You're you're done. You're finished. It's over for you. Okay.  I'm not talking to whiners right now. I'm talking about I'm talking to god seekers 2% That's what our podcast was today 2%ers Let me ask you something. Are you a 2%er?


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of children and adolescents worldwide. Isolation, contact restrictions, and economic shutdown have disrupted the psychosocial environment, leading to anxiety, lack of peer contact and reduced stress regulation opportunities. Additionally, an increased risk for parental mental illness, domestic violence and child maltreatment has been identified, particularly for vulnerable populations such as those with special needs or disadvantages. To maintain regular and emergency child and adolescent psychiatric treatment during the pandemic is crucial to limit long-term consequences for their mental health. Urgent research questions include understanding the mental health effects of social distancing and economic pressure, identifying risk and resilience factors and preventing long-term consequences such as child maltreatment. Telepsychiatry is another important issue that needs to be evaluated to assess its efficacy in child and adolescent psychiatry. Overall, child and adolescent psychiatrists must ensure continuity of care during the pandemic and address the disproportionate impact on disadvantaged and marginalized populations. Research is needed to assess the implications of policies enacted to contain the pandemic on mental health and estimate the risk-benefit ratio of measures such as homeschooling to better prepare for future developments.


What's up guys? It's Caleb Farley here. We're about to go check out some sites in Nashville. Hopefully we can find something fun and interesting. Let's go! So all the posters you see in this room are made by hand. We're entirely non-digital. We're doing things the same way that we were doing them in 1879. So we're one of Nashville's oldest businesses. That just made me a little poster. I grew up on Johnny Cash and Willie and Waylon and the boys. The king of country. George Strait. Ladies and gentlemen. You got a pair of boots? Not like, not like good boots. I'm gonna have to make that happen now. No, I don't have Eric Church boots. Not yet. These guys that don't know anything about country music are still just like, whoa, there's stuff here for everybody. This place has got so much cool stuff. So I wish we had a full day. That's on sign though. See a lot of the artists I grew up listening to. A lot of the artists my dad grew up listening to. My mom grew up listening to. So I'm just glad to be a part of this and learn more than I already know. I like old school rap. So I like Biggie. I saw Biggie in there. I saw Tupac in there. Snoop Dogg was in there. Pharrell was in there. Great producer and everything. So I feel at home right now. I love music and this is all definitely my type of music. There's Fitzpatrick here signing off. Just finished up at the African American Music and you know both times it was awesome. Learned a lot new this you know this time and hopefully I'll be back with somebody who hasn't been. Peace.


Gun smoke. Brought to you by L&M, the modern cigarette that lets you get full exciting flavor through the modern miracle of the pure white miracle tip. Live modern. Smoke L&M. Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved west with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, but it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. The Cape Cod girls, they have no cones, they comb their hair with codfish bones. Little mare, what's the matter with you? You've seen a man and a horse before, you calm down girl. They're only waiting to say hello to us. Hold up there, Dodge. Hello, stranger.  I am. You're a long way from Dodge. Man, I'm headed for Cam Seton's place. That's about 15 miles on south. Oh, you know him? Sure, I know him. The horse kicked him in the chest, and here's pretty badly hurt. Some cowboy rode by, found him, and got him into bed, and then came to Dodge after me. I just came from Cam Seton's dock. Oh, well, then how is he? There's nothing wrong with him. What's that? That cowboy was fun in you. Cam never got kicked by no horse. I don't believe it. Nobody had played a joke like that. Well, it's true. You better turn around and go back to Dodge. Somebody might be needing you there. I'm telling you, Dodge. I don't know you, mister. Who are you? Just do what I say. I get that buggy turned around. I'm driving on to Cam Seton's.  You gonna do what I say? Of course I'm not.   Oh, a shotgun, eh? Now, what are you doing with a shotgun, Doc? I'd like to eat prairie chicken, mister. But I've seen what two barrels of bird shot can do to a man. You... Doctor, you're bluffing... There's a man with a caved-in chest waiting for me 15 miles from here.  Oh, yes, mister. I'll shoot if I have to.  Nobody keeps me from being where I'm needed. The horse goes, Doc.  Don't you do it? Watch me. I told you not to! I told you! You still think Doc came here, Mr. Dillon? Well, there is footprints, Chester, headed straight for the house. Well, I just can't leave no part of it. His horse back there dead and all bloody. Look on the porch there. He just came out of the house. It's Doc, all right. Hello, Matt. Chester, hello, Doc. The Alan Boy reported finding your horse and buggy back there, Doc. I'm glad to see you're all right. I'm all right, Matt. How's Cam seating? He was dead when I got here. Oh? I guess you saw the man I left in my buggy. Yeah. He was a stranger to me, Matt.   His horse ran off. I see. So I guess it isn't exactly self-defense, is it? Hell, that's not for me to decide, Doc. Am I under arrest? The day I have to arrest you is the day I quit. There'll be talk, Matt. People will say I ought to be waiting triumph in jail. And they'll be blaming you for it. You sure you know what you do? To bet that man's horse ran off, Doc. You might have got here in time if you hadn't had to walk.

Well, everybody's sort of been eyeing you ever since we got back. Oh, no, not everybody, Chester. Well, now, you take that fella across the street, standing there by the town's soil. Yeah, yeah. Seems like he's always watching you from somewhere. I don't think I even know that man, Chester. He ain't been in town but a couple of days. Well, who is he? Well, I don't know. Well, he's got nothing to do with me.  I always said there's too much school girl in you.  I don't know what you're talking about, but I ain't sure. I like... Well, let me know when you make up your mind. I'm going to go back tomorrow. Wait a minute. Eh, what's what? He's Mr. Dunn. Well, he looks real mad about something. Yes, he does. Let's go over to the Texas Trail, Doc. What for? I just told off a few of our leading citizens up the street and now I want to be seen buying you a drink to really give them something to talk about. Now, wait a minute, Matt. I know what they've been saying about me not being in jail. But you can't fight them all. It isn't all of them. It's only a rotten few so far. Come on. I want everybody to know where I stand. Nope. No, Matt. Can I come too? I'd be proud to buy a second round myself. How about it, Doc? Well... Well... I guess I can't turn down a drink with... with a couple of friends. Thank you, Matt. Thank you, too, Chester. Now, I really had better get back to my office. Okay, Doc. Hold on a minute. There's that fellow again, Doc. He followed us in here. Why? At the end of the bar there, Mr. Jones. He keeps watching, Doc, all the while. You know him, Doc? Well, look... There is something familiar about him. What do you mean he's been watching, Doc, Chester? I don't know, but every dog on time I'm with Doc. I see him, Matt. Yeah. I know who he looks like. Who? The man I killed. What? Yes, his resemblance. A very definite resemblance. Well, how do you think it might be? I feel kind of funny inside. Same as I did out there on the prairie. You two wait here. I'd like to know your name, stranger. You would? No offense. I'm Marshall Dillon. Now, what's your name? Nate. Nate what? Nate'll do Marshall or no Marshall. Where are you from? Colorado. What are you doing in Dodge? You got something against me. Say it out, Marshall. All right. Doc Adams killed a man last week. He thinks you look like you might be related to him. Your Doc Adams has got a bad conscience, maybe. I can't help who I look like. He could be wrong. But if he's right, I want you to remember something. Doc's a friend of mine. If anything happened to him, I'd take it real personally. You ain't talking about me, Marshall. It'd be a bad death, mister.  Chester. Yes, sir. You'll get yourself a shotgun. What? You're going to stay with Doc day and night. From now on. I'm sorry to bother you, Kitty. Come in. I was just getting ready to go to work. I wasn't expecting company. It's about this trouble, Doc's in, Kitty. I think you might be able to help. I'll do anything for Doc, Matt. You know that. Well, this'll take your whole evening. It won't be easy. Go on. There's a stranger been hanging around town, says his first name is Nate.  I've seen him. Well, Doc thinks he might be related to the man he killed. He thinks it might be his brother. You want me to find out? That might take a lot of doing, Kitty. Maybe it's asking too much. You can't put him in jail, Matt. I might save Doc's life. Well, I doubt if he's a man to get drunk by himself, or easily. And even drunk, I don't know if he can make him talk. Leave that to me, Matt. It's like I said, I'll do anything for Doc. Shasta, come on, wake up. Come on. Oh, so much so sweet. I thought I told you to stay with Doc. Well, I was with him all last night and all the day. So far. Was he not? Well, I don't know. We were playing some cards here, and then I laid down from it. Oh, dear, I just don't know how I could have felt like that. Go up to his office, see if he's there, and stay with him if he is. Yes, sir, I will. I just don't know how. It's gonna have a while. Miss Kitty. How's Shasta? It's nice to see you, but I gotta go. I want to see you for a while. Well, Matt. Sit down, Kitty. Yeah. You look tired. That was about the longest night I ever spent. Where's Nate, whatever his name is? Last I saw of him, it was dawn, and he was almost asleep on one of the tables for long brunch. You're right, Matt. That man sure can drink. Well, Kitty, did do any good? Yeah, some. His name's Nate Brandl. Brandl? Mm-hmm. His brother's name was Miles Brandl. Yeah. And it was as brother Doc killed. Well, that's why Nate's after Doc. I guess he just hasn't had a good chance to get him yet, but he's going to a man. No, he isn't. I'll run him out of town now that I really know who he is. Well, you want to hear the rest of it first? Yeah, go ahead, Kitty. Well, Nate's brother, this Miles Brandl, he heard Cam Seton was living here, and he rode all the way from Colorado to kill him. And he found him lying there hurt and learned that he'd sent for Doc. I guess he figured if he could keep Doc away, Cam wouldn't need killing. Yeah, he was right. Why was he after Cam? Well, Nate didn't say much about that. But the important thing is that Miles was an outlaw with a price of $1,000 on his head. I never had a circular on him. It's true, anyway, according to Nate. That's why he's after Doc so bad. He thinks Doc shot his brother for the reward money. But hasn't he heard this story? I don't believe it, Matt. Yeah, Chester. Doc left a note on his door that he's down at the stable looking over a new buggy horse. I'm going to hurry on down there. Wait a minute.  Kitty, I think Doc will be wanting to thank you himself for what you've done. Yes, have an L&M. Enjoy a really modern cigarette. A cigarette that gives you all the full, exciting flavor of today's finest tobacco. No other cigarette, plane or filter, gives you the flavor you get through the modern miracle of the L&M miracle tip. Through the pure white miracle tip, L&M tastes richer. Smokes cleaner. Draws easier. So light up. Free up. Let your taste come alive. Live modern. Smoke L&M. Make today your big red letter day and start to live the modern way. Live, live, live modern. Get L&M today. Excuse me, Mr. Dillon. Stand just inside the door. Yeah. I don't see no buggy horse door under nobody else. At least Doc's still all right. I promise I won't never fall asleep again. I will take Doc back to the office where he'll be safe and I'll go round up Nate Brandl. Now where's he going? Hey, Doc?  Yeah, come on. Stand out, Doc. There he goes out that stall. Hold it. Did you kill him that? I tried not to, Doc. You hit me twice. Yeah. Let me have a look. No.   Hold still, Doc. Letting him up to my office, Matt. One of those bullets has to come out before I can stop the bleeding.  I know. Then what are you doing trying to save me? I'm a doctor. Nothing can keep me from a man who needs me. I tried to explain that to your brother. I don't believe you. You're lying. Let's get him moved, Matt. We're wasting time. Did you get the mail, Mr. Dillon? Yeah, it finally came, Chester. Now go upstairs and get Doc where he'll be in the office. Yes, sir. Me? Go on into the office. Three weeks in jail. You begin to wish you'd killed me, Marshal. I kept you in jail because Doc wanted you there, Nate. Has he always run the law around here? It was him you tried to kill, wasn't it? If I had my way, he'd be in prison. Between you and Doc, I ain't got a chance of nothing, have I? You're going to get that settled right now. What do you mean? I don't know. I'm doing this Doc's way. I didn't ask you. Hi, guys, Mr. Dillon. Good morning, Matt. Morning, Doc. Hello, Nate. Well, it came in today's mail, Doc. Give it to me, Matt. Here it is. Thank you. You got a pen in your desk, Matt? Yeah, I hope yourself. What is that? What are you talking about anyway? The reward money. A thousand dollar check for killing your brother. Oh, Doc put in his claim, so I sent a Colorado for it. Yeah, I might have known. I hope you have a good time with it, Doc. What are you going to spend it on? Tell us. I'll tell you, Nate.  I've endorsed it. Yeah, it's all yours. Mine. Take it. But what for? You'll have to figure out what for. And it's about time you did. Marshall? Yeah, Nate. My brother left a wife in Denver. You're going to see she gets this. She won't have to know what it's from. Can I leave now? Yeah, you can leave. But Marshall, don't worry about it, Nate. I'll tell Doc, you finally got it figured out. And now our star, William Conrad.

The study found that anemia was a major health problem among pregnant women in Rabbic Maternity Hospital, Sudan. It also showed that there was no clear evidence that lack of iron-folic acid caused anemia among these women. Instead, it suggested that other factors such as age, parity, history of miscarriage, interpregnancy interval, education, and antinatal care level could be contributing to anemia. Furthermore, the study revealed that more women with anemia did not take iron-folic acid compared to those without anemia. This suggests that providing iron-folic acid supplementation to all pregnant women in Rabbic Maternity Hospital could help reduce the risk of anemia.

Welcome back. So then, in 1990, Amstrad joined the console wars. As we know now, the decision was a complete disaster. By the beginning of 1992, the then popular Amstrad Action were already running a competition to see who could find the cheapest GX4000 console. For those that don't know, and according to Amstrad Action, Peter Robeck was the driving force behind the GX4000. The console arrived in September 1990 and was priced at £99. After just 8 months, Amstrad threw in the towel. Just 15,000 machines were sold. The GX4000 was being flogged for as little as £30. Amstrad were exposed for still being trapped in an 8-bit world. Alan Sugar respected the Nintendo and Sega 8-bit consoles, but the Sega Master System and NES had already been around for quite some time. In comparison, Amstrad felt the new GX4000 looked space-aged. The console was bundled with two game pads and the excellent burning rubber. In fact, this was the game that went on to be a shining beacon. An advertisement that showcased the GX4000's early Pro-S. Ocean software, Gremlin graphics, Titus, Loresell and Domark were all on board. So what went wrong with the GX4000? On the surface, the console appeared to be quite remarkable. It had the looks with more eye-catching futuristic style than the NES or Master System. Developers could choose from a colour palette of 4096 colours, 32 of which could be displayed on-screen at once. This time around, the GX4000 had built-in support for hardware sprites, which allowed for go-faster graphics and a faster screen. Better still, Amstrad permitted any software publisher to create software for the GX4000. Packaging had to adhere to a strict format. In terms of the actual software, software houses were completely free to develop whatever they wanted. Amstrad introduced their new console at the CNIT centre in Paris, August 1990. The Amstrad CPC had always been popular in France, and Sir Alan Sugar was eager to capitalise on this. The Amstrad 464 Plus and 6128 Plus were released at the same time as the GX4000, with the difference being that the former only played games and the latter were two fully functional computers. At the launch of the GX4000, Alan Sugar said, the end user doesn't know whether it is 16-bit, 8-bit or if it's working with gas or steam or with elastic bands. Rightly so, the media considered it odd that an 8-bit system was produced at the time when 16-bit was becoming the norm. Peter Robach made it plain that he considered the GX4000 an entry-level machine aimed at youngsters. At launch, games such as Batman the Movie, Shadow Warriors, Operation Thunderbolt, Chase HQ2, Fire and Forget 2, RoboCop 2, Klax, Crazy Cars 2, Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters and Kickoff 2 were apparently on display. Another remarkable asset of the machine was you could use the aerial socket or a SCART connector. Not even the Sega Mega Drive had SCART support. It does appear that Amstrad did throw their weight behind the new console. 80 million was spent on a pre-Christmas campaign. Commercials aired on television stations across Europe that were in-store demonstration units similar to those available in a game store that you find today for the PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch which displayed the console in all its splendor, offering up the opportunity to try before you buy. When Amstrad engineer Chris Lawson was interviewed by Retro Gamer and asked why the console failed, he pointed that it should have been supplied sooner and it would have been better if the machine had been 16-bit. Just before we get started there's also a fantastic website by Zypho and it painstakingly covers every little detail of the GX-4000. What this guy doesn't know about the GX-4000 isn't worth knowing and I think there's even a feature where he made an appearance in Retro Gamer. Before we move on to reasons as to why you need this console in 2022, let's just take a step back and look at the competition for the time and try to understand where Amstrad were going, were they aiming at a niche market and did a beefed up CPC. Ever stand a chance? So already at this point the Sega Master System retailed at around £80. It was generally considered that it was superior to the NES but spoiled by a generally average library of games. The feeling at the time was this should all change now the European software houses are supporting the machine. The machine even had its own magazine called the Sega Mag. You could also purchase 3D glasses and a light phaser to boost the lasting interest. Coming in at £100 was the now ageing 8-bit machine the NES with a funny display system, limited palette and leany sprites. But it had Super Mario games and the full backing of the largest video game company on the planet. Believe it or not Atari the 2600 were also on the scene. The ancient VCS was still doing the rounds and it came in at £40.  In the UK it was reported as being the best selling console of Christmas 1989. Don't quote me on that I don't know how true it is but at that time it was 10 years old. As if things couldn't get any worse for the old GX4000 coming in at £90 was the Nintendo Game Boy.  It hadn't yet launched in the UK but it was set to launch later that year and most people were buying them on import and to make matters worse there were loads of games already available. It was also the PC engine that came in at a whopping £180 but it was a brilliant 8-bit machine with go faster stripes. Neat, compact and extremely good at being a games machine. Sadly us Europeans could only get it on import. Then there was the SNK Neo Geo, the ultimate console of the moment. However this box of tricks cost around £400 and the games around £200 a piece. The Atari Lynx and Atari 7800 were also fighting for their own survival. So it doesn't take a brain surgeon to tell you that Amstrad already have a problem. I don't know I can't say for sure but if they'd have released this console two years earlier it might have found a niche market but the real killer blow was yet to come. Waiting in the wings was the Sega Mega Drive and the Super Nintendo. By this point the Sega Mega Drive or better known in America as the Genesis had already wiped out the PC engine. So even despite decent 8-bit specs the poor old GX4000 never stood a chance. What I'd like to do now is take a look at the games. A console without games, no matter how powerful. It's like a Sunday roast without gravy. As mentioned Burning Rubber was the first to be released. Yes Burning Rubber was a good start, a great packing title but the console definitely needed more. They should have thrown in World of Sports and probably something like Batman. Could you have imagined if it would have launched with Pang or Switchblade? But to be fair this is a good game and Amstrad Action gave it 92%. Oh my god they had the cheek to charge for this. It came with just four levels for Christ's sake. But despite that I quite enjoyed each of the events especially the surfing. This event the BMX track is ripped straight out of California games. But whilst it lasts it's fun and you can quite clearly see the upgrade in the sprites, the scroll and the graphics. A few more levels and this could have been brilliant. Now this is the first of many insults on the GX4000. Not because it's a bad game I actually quite like this. I enjoyed it but it's exactly the same game that you got on the stock Amstrad CPC. And by this time you could buy it on cassette for around about £1.99 or £2.99 when this cartridge was retailing around something like £25. They didn't even try to enhance it. Talk about a low blow. They should have released the original Barbarian and enhanced the graphics. Now a great game is a great game regardless of the system or the price. But this is just another rehash. The colours have changed slightly but there's absolutely no improvement to the game whatsoever. In fact there's a bit of slowdown and the games are tad more difficult and once again why would you buy this you can get it on the stock Amstrad CPC for around about £1.99. I get that they were trying to flood the system with games but this is just daylight robbery. I might be on my own with this one. This was my Grand Theft Auto. I thought it was brilliant. It was as open world as you could get on an 8-bit. It was completely up to you as the player. Which route you took to reach your destination. I think at the time I was just obsessed with the USA. Now I've made it sound better than it actually is but at the time it was better than the original. Sadly you couldn't complete it due to a nasty bug. Now Dick Tracy is a flipping cool game on the Sega Mega Drive. It's probably one of my favourites.  The music is terrible. The sprites look like they've just been stuck on. To an almost half decent scrolling background it could have been a killer game for the Amstrad GX4000. Instead GX4000 owners were delivered a dog's dinner. This was the second game to arrive on the GX4000 and the second game to be reviewed by Amstrad Action. You can quite clearly see the Sega Master System version at the top right and the Amiga 500 at the bottom and you can quite clearly see how lackless the graphics are. The sky looks good but the clouds are missing and when compared to the other versions you might as well be driving the world's slowest car. A Peel P50. What on earth were Amstrad Action thinking awarding this 94%? Geez oh guys, come on. Now Amstrad owners didn't get a good version of Tetris.  So step forward clacks which for me personally is a fantastic little puzzle game. It starts you off nice and easy, lulls you in and I personally wasn't able to put this one down but sadly it's another game that's absolutely 100% identical to the stock Amstrad CPC version. They could have at least made a bit of an effort. Now then, I really like this one. It's a bit difficult and that might put the majority of people off. The main protagonist as sprite here looks like he's suffering from a recent hip replacement but this guy is battle hardened. He's looked death himself in the face. And just smiled and waved. Now the colours and these graphics would have been impossible really on the stock Amstrad CPC but it's good to see the GX 4000 being pushed. When the GX 4000 wasn't suffering from a rehash of old games it had to suffer rubbish like this. So instead of talking about this god awful game let's just take a look at this article here where Amstrad axed the top post the people behind the Amstrad GX 4000 over 35 people lost their jobs over the failure of the GX 4000. A spokesperson for Amstrad said that the principal problem has been the lack of widespread and high quality software support. Barry Young went on to work at Sega. Now this one I played with my cousin and we quite enjoyed it, we liked it but now playing it in 2022 I realise it's bad, it's not good at all.  You'd have been devastated if you'd have spent £25 on this cartridge. Now this is much better but I never saw this game back in the day I heard about it but could never find it so I think it was only ever available on mail order but it's a great little shoot em up and you could use the light gun as well unfortunately I never owned the light gun it was a different connector to the stock Amstrad CPC I did kind of get into a bidding war the once on eBay for the light gun but it just got silly The difference between this and the stock Amstrad version is that this one had sound and music and I don't believe the stock Amstrad CPC version did but it's a half decent shoot em up for the GX4000 and so it's a great one to have in your collection especially if you're a shoot em up nut but it doesn't push the GX4000 in any way so it's one of those games that anyone can play and should enjoy I absolutely loved Operation Wolf and Operation Thunderbolt on the stock Amstrad CPC and I really like this on the GX4000 as well but unfortunately once again it's just a rehash the colours on the display have been enhanced slightly can you imagine the disappointment if you'd have forked out £25 for this I think I'd still be having nightmares still it's a good game but sadly you can't use the light gun now this is like chalk and cheese the quality of this game compared to most others on the GX4000 is absolutely phenomenal now Stuart Middleton was interviewed by Retro Gamer he's the guy that programmed pang on the GX4000 now when they asked him could Amstrad have done anything to improve their machine or was it simply doomed from the start he gave a really good answer and I've posted it in the video above and it does make you wonder Amstrad themselves said they'd spoken to the developers listened and would produce the goods this is another one I really liked and it was also fantastic on the Sega Mega Drive as well this one takes quite a bit of practice the martial artist and pugilist amongst you will appreciate it and you really have to put the hard work into progress this game also looks really good on an old CRT PAL TV the controls are tight there's lots of moves there's new moves as well along the way and you know what I still want to play this is that good? who doesn't love a great puzzle game the graphics are small, colourful but cute and it wasn't until late in the 90s I found this one and I paid good money for it but the best thing is that it's too clear don't get me wrong it can't hope to match Tetris but apart from clacks it's certainly the next best thing the programmers have done a fantastic job for me personally back in the day when I played this it worked because I just fancied a change and I couldn't put it down now you can't beat a good pinball game and whilst Amstrad owners today have pinball dreams back then the GX4000 had pinball magic now despite the cramped small screen I played this a heck of a lot but today as I revisit it's very limited and if I'm honest I quickly lost interest I think I prefer time scanner so I think this one Switchblade is definitely my favourite GX4000 game and it's one that I've revisited and spent hours playing still apart from the colour this game also existed on the stock Amstrad CPC as well and lost nothing in way of gameplay it's a challenge from beginning to end and trust me you will not put this down until you've completed it it's platforming perfection two tennis games on one system and I have to say I quite like this one as well it's less sophisticated than the other tennis game on the GX4000 but I still really liked it I guess I'm just a bit of a sucker for a half decent tennis game now the graphics don't look anything special by today's standards but back then I thought it looked alright I found this one just incredibly boring the graphics looked alright and there's some good cutscenes but the actual gameplay it was a missed opportunity and for a console that boasted stereo sound this one sounds bloody awful I'm not sure who the games aimed at but kids won't want to play this and adults will complete it on their first or second go so a great license completely ruined by idiots I personally swear by Real Sports Tennis on the Atari 800 XL but pro tennis tool offered up a great serve to anyone willing to give the GX4000 a try there's a fantastic level of variety and strategy and I have to say that pro tennis tool provides simple yet addictive gameplay on this limited system it tries to deliver a realistic physics based tennis experience and for an 8 bit it pulls it off this is a great little two player game where each player tries alternatively to complete each round apparently you've had enough with your daft everyday mundane life and now you've packed your bags packed your guns and you've decided to try your look at the international pro skate shoot tool better still you get to travel the world in style you can visit some of the greatest sites on earth including Sydney Harbour, Australia unfortunately the only way you can experience this game is with a Trojan light phaser good luck with that more Coronation Street than Wild Street 1 it looks an absolute mess 2 the controls are atrocious and 3 it's probably just as boring as Kylie Minogue's sister Danny Minogue so regret all round sadly I should be so lucky so I think we've got the majority of the games out of the way that came out originally on the GX4000 what a beautiful loading screen now Chase HQ 2 existed on the Amstrad GX4000 if you do a search for the opposite of Jesus he uploaded a video of Chase HQ 2 running on an Amstrad 6128 Plus but the pitch is a bit grainy and blurry if you did an actual playthrough of the game you'd probably get like a million views so this game is classed as the holy grail of the GX4000 and apparently only 2 copies exist sadly the same programmers that did Cisco Heat did this but now we come to the real reason why you need a GX4000 and it opens up a world of not only existing Amstrad CPC 464 games but new games as well they're starting to trickle onto the GX4000 as we speak now you'll need one of these hardware devices a C4 CPC now there is an issue you can't use the existing power supply that came with the GX4000 you have to use a special 9 volt and when you finally get it up and running it's an absolute thing of beauty a thing of wonder now it uses an SD card and you just literally download the games copy them to the SD card on your PC and then just transfer the SD card over to your C4 CPC now you can run plus games anything made for the GX4000 and pretty much all of the 64K games that came out for the stock CPC what you can't do is run 128K games unless you've got a memory upgrade now the website CPCWiki the fan community there modded, patched a lot of the existing CPC 464 games so that the controls work with the gamepad I'll put a link in the description so that you can visit but it's a fantastic little discovery because there's all sorts you can run on this thing and in fact let's find something let's have a quick look ah I know what here we go this one allegedly came out on the GX4000 but I've been unable to find it however it did come out on the stock Amstrad CPC here we go Gazer 2 I think at the time this was probably the best footy game on the Amstrad although some will argue that title belongs to Emmeline Hughes International Soccer now this is Elcon 2020 which most people will probably know a slap fight and this arrived in the post about a month ago and so I haven't been able to put it down it's a fantastic game it's so smooth so that's kind of why I'm recommending the GX4000 today but wait there's more Sonic GX it's coming it's coming to the Amstrad GX4000 and these games are breathing new life into failed hardware and we're all getting a glimpse of how things might have been and I have to say this is looking promising I'm excited my personal humble opinion on the GX4000 is that it could have been a small success it could have found a niche market but Amstrad seemed to have messed up on the distribution side of things me personally I felt like I was cheated robbed out of a console that could have been good and I think if the games would have been available from day one and they hadn't mixed things up like people had bought cartridges and found that the wrong game was in there or the label was the game that it stated but actually a different game entirely and I was always impressed with the stereo sound from the GX4000 and you can kind of hear it now it's called DMA and it's got a very distinct sound that's unique to Amstrad what we're also seeing here this is an actual game, not a demo is that the GX4000 was as good if not more powerful than the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System and the great news as well is there's more to come so Sonic the Hedgehog fans will probably want to hunt this down anyway but hats off this looks absolutely brilliant and I can't wait to play it so probably my favourite game of all time is Ghosts and Goblins and this doesn't disappoint it's almost arcade perfect I think Arthur might have been the first half-naked protagonist as well but seriously this is a fantastic game unbelievable and if like me you need to be that person that plays every arcade conversion of Ghosts and Goblins you'll need this there's other games as well and there's more games coming there's one that was released a few years back called Bez and it's a really good RPG believe it or not so we've reached the end I hope you enjoyed this video please share, comment and until next time bye
