What do you feel like you're doing differently from August? I think the same thing. I feel like in August I just miss too many pitchers. Of course, every pitcher, I think they throw me really, really good pitchers.  When you throw, you always try to do a little bit more. And that is a throw. But man, I got really, really good people behind me. And also, my teammates always give me really, really good advance and just believe myself and just play. I think that is the right answer. Just play the game and just looking forward for getting better every day. For you, mentally, how difficult has it been to get through what you've been going throughout the plate in the second half of the season? I can't lie. It's just hard because also the situation, the team passed. We lost too many games and everything is getting down. I mean, myself, I don't do anything for the team in that moment. And it was a struggle. I mean, many conversations with the hitting coach and just try to figure out what I don't do. And just try to copy what I do in the first half. So right now I'm just a decent team. Just try to do the adjustment. I got a really good game today. I'm just looking forward for the next game. What's been the impact of having Stanton and Judge hitting 1-2? Or Judge and Stanton hitting 1-2 in the order? I feel like the pitch here was the opposite feel. Opposite team is really impact. I mean, I feel comfortable when I got those guys there because I know what they can do for the team. And it just feel like a little bit more relaxed because we don't have all the pressure and all the waves. And just get, I mean, the most important for us is everybody healthy and we know what we can do in the field.


Representative of Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor, the majority leader, along with eight other representatives visited the U.S. Navy's four deployed aircraft carrier, U.S.'s George Washington. Listen, it is always one of the most gratifying experiences to come abroad and visit with sailors, airmen, Marines, soldiers, and so we're here today on the G.W. and actually had an opportunity to meet with some constituents from home. Hours group spent their visit becoming familiar with the ship and speaking with sailors from states they represent. It was a great opportunity to meet a congressman, it's cool to hear about their perspective looking in the ship from the outside and hear what they have to say about traveling ever to Japan. For U.S.S. George Washington, I'm Petty Officer Brian Aver.

Jesus doesn't care about your depression. Jesus doesn't care about your anxiety. At least that's what it can feel like sometimes. We wonder if he was truly good. Why wouldn't he do something about this? Why wouldn't he just fix us? Why wouldn't he take away this looming weight on our shoulders? But here's the truth. Jesus did defeat mental illness that we would be healed that we would experience wholeness. But we are only guaranteed full relief and healing in the new heavens and new earth when God makes all things new. In the here now Yes, God does heal but not always that in the midst of our suffering our eyes would be more fervently fixed on the savior day after day That we would not look to the things of this world to satisfy the deepest longings of our soul But rather in the midst of the pain we would seek to lay our burdens down at the cross and rest in his presence And in that Christ would be glorified today lay your anxieties and depression at the foot of the cross for he cares for you A day is coming when he will wipe every tear from your eyes and all will be made right


No, you never know why Well, someone gets in the zone like that Steve how encouraging is it over here? That you guys are still climbing this mountain and trying to gel together But you're able to pull out results like this giving up a 22-point lead, but weathering the storm Yeah, I think we will find both lots of positives and also lots of room for improvement You know we we like you said we're just such a new group I think that was like the seventh game that those nine players tonight have played together, so Every day is a day for us to learn about ourselves how we can improve how we can To play a team a better team game at both ends of the floor You would you think of your two centers, you know, especially Nick in that fourth quarter what he brought you? They're great, you know, you look at their lines Andre seven for eleven 16 points eight rebounds in 19 minutes and Nick played 28 29 minutes with six to six from the floor nine rebounds. So, you know, you add it together It's 29 points and To the math it's 17 rebounds, you know, it's a great great effort from our centers You're impressed in the Boston you there's pretty much one game to go off of because you beat them early when you're different They beat you shortly Impressions that series I think you know, it's it's difficult way of a different team now But really impressed with the Celtics the job he may has done, you know, they they've Been able to build on that continuity that group's been together for quite a while And they've made some tweaks and adjustments that have really I think improved their team both ends of the floor So it'll be a great challenge for us and for a new group to go and play a team like that That's that's terrific at both ends. It's gonna be something that hopefully brings out the best in us I Steve right here. It seemed like Kevin really anchored your defense as a rim protector, especially in the first half there Do you scheme the defense for him to play that? Role for you or is that something he kind of does intrinsically? No, I mean, that was part of the game plan for him to be the low man as much as possible But you know, sometimes it's not as easy to do but I just thought that his energy and Competitive spirit was outstanding tonight. Thanks guys


When I was eight years old, we moved to Fresh Meadows and I met my new best friend, Gloria. And Gloria and I bonded over our love for the swings at the Big Kids Park. We played together every day after school. We taught each other Korean and Urdu words, and sometimes we even did each other's homework. But don't tell anyone. In the summers, we had these picnics in the park where we would lay back on the grass and we'd point out the shapes of the clouds to find all the Pokemon. And we'd share a pack of ramen noodles. We'd crack these noodles in half, sprinkle over the seasoning, and then eat them raw. We just really liked crunchy things and didn't know they were causing us stomach aches. But after 9-11, our friendship forever changed. When I finally saw Gloria again, it was on this golden autumn afternoon. I was wearing my favorite dress, the one with a big sunflower on top. She handed me our friendship bracelet, and an unopened pack of ramen noodles.  It wasn't the first time that I had felt this otherness. It was one of many experiences that led me towards speaking up for others, towards having courage in the face of something unfair, towards allyship. And being an ally goes beyond pinning pronouns to our badges, or pronouncing our co-worker's names correctly. It's about putting actions behind our words and our commitments. It's especially and even in situations that make us uncomfortable. And it's about acknowledging that for many people, this feeling of otherness is constant. Systemic oppression is constant for many people. But the good news is that being an ally is not something that you have to learn all at once, all today, and all in one moment.  And I've been thinking a lot about what an ally-ship knapsack might include, what tools and provisions that we as allies can use to help support our work and uplift others. And the first step of building this ally-ship knapsack is grounding ourselves in some core commitments. Like I can educate myself about the experiences and perspectives of marginalized groups and listen to those groups when they speak. I can speak up when I hear someone saying something racist or inappropriate. And I can use my voice, my time, my platform to amplify marginalized voices by sharing their work, promoting their ideas, and helping to create more opportunities for them. I can donate my money to organizations that work to support marginalized groups. And I can use my social networks and my connections to advocate for policies and practices that promote equity and justice. But ultimately, theory without practice is meaningless. And the ally-ship knapsack is about recognizing that the power that we all have to make a difference and use that power into action. And sometimes these commitments can feel really abstract, like unrelatable in our everyday lives. So today, I'd like to share five examples with you of ally-ship that I've experienced so that you can have the opportunity to spot these moments that you can be an ally in your life. One, in team meetings, my manager notices that sometimes I'm a little shy to interrupt. He encourages me by acknowledging my ideas and giving me credit. Not only does this make me feel valued on the team, but this sets an example for the rest of the team to listen as well. A white male coworker noticing that a conference has a lack of diversity withdraws from the event. He educates the organizers about diverse representation and he offers to find more underrepresented speakers for the slot. His ally-ship is impactful because he's making a personal sacrifice to raise awareness and create tangible change towards a more inclusive community.  She confronts him and puts herself at risk in order to protect me. Her ally-ship demonstrates solidarity and a willingness to stand up against discrimination. After a late-night team dinner, my coworker offers to walk me back to my hotel to make sure I get there safely. His ally-ship builds trust and shows support for my well-being. And at the conference exhibit hall, some community members report a code of conduct violation after witnessing a situation where I was just really, really uncomfortable. Their ally-ship shows an unwillingness to tolerate bad behavior in our community. I still think about Gloria sometimes, especially when I'm making ramen, I'll break off a corner of the noodles and I'll eat them raw and I'll laugh because this memory is now a symbol of my resilience. It reminds me to move forward with courage in a world where oppression is constant. It's one of the many intersectional pieces that make up who I am. Child of immigrants, Pakistani-American, open-source contributor, daughter, niece, aunt, escape room enthusiast, and now keynote speaker. And as we journey through life, we'll continue to shape our identities through the experiences that we have and the choices that we make. So I hope that from today onwards, you'll choose to embrace ally-ship as one part of your identity as well because we all have the power to make positive change in our communities. And we can do that by choosing to be allies. Thank you.


The presidential election season is in full swing following the formal nominations at the party conventions. Reporters Paige Williams and Leslie McVane were at the Democratic Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina and spoke with some of Maine's delegates about the issues that are important to them. Hi, this is Paige Williams with CTN Channel 5. I'm here inside the convention center. We've got a lot of people coming in the doors, and we ran into Jill Dusson, a city council member from Portland, Maine. So, tell me, Jill, what are you doing here? Well, Paige, I just ran out of fun things to do, and I thought I'd stop down in Charlotte, North Carolina and see what was going on. Well, thanks for coming and saying hi. So, why is this convention important to you? Well, this will be my fifth convention. I am a delegate from Portland, Maine, and I've served in local government in Portland, Maine for a while now. I'm very involved in local politics. I'm kind of a product of the civil rights movement, and being engaged in politics at all levels has just been something embedded in me by prior generations. What has the atmosphere been like with the Maine delegates? Well, our delegation is just a fun collection of quirky personalities. It's a group of people who know each other from being very active in Maine politics over many, many years. And then there's a few who are very young and new to the process. For example, you would think my son, who is 20, and is the youngest delegate in the Maine delegation. You think he was new to the process, but this is his fifth convention as well. So, we've been very active. He has always attended with me. And the delegation is truly kind of like a family. What are the most important issues to you? Well, what's at the top of my list is, of course, health care, making sure we preserve Obamacare, and making sure we get out the message by re-electing President Obama by a wide majority, that we've sent a clear message that health care is important to the nation. And then women's rights are just crazy the way the Republican Party seems to be wanting to roll back the clock. For me, a piece of one of my mantras is, you know, there's freedom of speech, but then there is the responsibility to talk back. And for me, being at this convention and being engaged is about talking back and making sure people don't misrepresent what's important to people in my economic class, in my race class, single moms. I mean, I just hit so many different interest groups as a person, as a person who was unemployed for much of last year. It's just important for me to talk back, to stand up and talk back. Well, I'm tag-teaming with my daughter Paige. It's my turn up at the mic, and I am here with supposedly the youngest delegate from Maine, Justin Chenette. Hi, it's unconfirmed. Unconfirmed. We don't tell lies. We just... We're not Paul Ryan. No, we're not Paul Ryan. So tell me, how has it been so far? It's only really the second day you've been here. Well, this is my first national convention, so this is truly a fantastic experience. I'm really just absorbing everything right now. When I walked into the convention for the first time, literally my breath was taken away from me. It was such an exhilarating experience, because it's not about the D or the R, it's about just enjoying democracy and our political system, and being a part of something much larger than ourselves individually, and this is what this convention is all about. So tell me, what are the issues that are closest to your heart? Do we have five hours to talk about it? No, five minutes. Jobs, jobs, jobs. I mean, any Google search for any employment in Maine or across the country, it's difficult for people, especially those aged between 18 and 30. I mean, there are some areas where the unemployment rate for that age group is between 12 and 17 percent. I mean, that's unbelievable, and so I'm seeing those effects, and this is why I'm running for office back home in the state of Maine. I know. Congratulations on that. That's a big step for someone your age. 21 is 21. We don't need to go over my age. No, but at 21, I would be the youngest legislator in the state, which, you know, from that perspective is not important, but what is important is inspiring other young people to get civically engaged. Well, I'm here with Loretta Klossin, Mayor of Boone, North Carolina, and an old friend. And an old friend? That's exactly right. We go back a long way, don't we, Leslie? We just ran into each other, and this is great. Oh my gosh, and Andy Ball from Boone as well. What an amazing event. We're so excited to be here representing the mountains and Boone, and we're just so excited to be here on behalf of LaTog County. The rest of the country looks at North Carolina, and North Carolina has been doing some things that really do not sit well with the Democratic Party as far as the right to marry. We had a Amendment 1 issue on the ballot in the primary. I think you saw a lot of new voters coming out, a young voters coming out for that issue. They're coming back out again this time. Anybody who votes in the Democratic primary is voting in the general. So we're excited about that turnout. At the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, this is Leslie McVane for Community Update.


Good morning. Welcome to CMC markets on Friday the 18th of November and this quick look at the weak head with me Houston and we certainly had a lot to digest this week Obviously, we've had the autumn statement from Chancellor of the Ucheca Jeremy Hunt. We've also had a host of Fed speakers Talking up the prospect that the Fed is nowhere near done when it comes to rate hikes pretty much know that anyway But as there's also the fact that we've seen a slightly more and I'm not gonna say dovish narrative But I think certainly a much more realistic narrative when it comes to How many rate hikes are likely to be coming down the pipe? Over the course of the next few months. There is an acceptance I think on the part of a number of Fed policymakers that The rate hikes are going to be slightly Lower in terms of they're not going to be 75 basis points. They're probably going to be 50 or 25 I think The expectation is for December that we are going to get 50 and certainly I think in the context of events That we've got this week We've got the latest Fed minutes We've got various flash PMI's from The UK Germany and France German Germany IFO business climate as well as a couple of earnings numbers from King fisherman zoom the earnings season is slowly winding down now so The the narrative around earnings is slowly giving way to a Wind down into the holiday season because we've got Thanksgiving coming up in the US on the 24th of November Before I move on to next week's events however I think it's important to look back at the events of the last few days and the overarching narrative This week has been I think of a slight consolidation in the US dollar after the declines That we've seen over the course of the past A few days couple of weeks But we've also seen I think a consolidation lower in bond yields And I think that is obviously important. It's feeding into a Hope I think rather than an expectation that energy prices will continue to come down certainly we're seeing that in the context of oil prices they are starting to Consolidate at the bottom end of their recent range, which I think is a good thing when you consider the Reaction to this week's autumn budget from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. So let's talk about that because I think The market reaction to it was fairly benign Which I think is surprising when you consider that it painted a very bleak outlook for the UK Economy, I mean the Bank of England was already predicting that the UK is facing a two-year recession and Earlier this week. We saw the CPI rose to 11.1 percent A 40-year high I mean core CPI Was steady at 6.5 percent. So Certainly price pressures are likely to remain a constant irritant to consumer sentiment Over the course of the next few years and certainly when you look at the measures that were announced in the budget That I think is unlikely to change anytime soon the OBR The Office of Budget Responsibility predicted the UK is already in recession Although they upgraded this year's GDP forecast to 4.2 percent, but they downgraded 2023 From 1.8 percent to minus 1.4. I mean, that's a significant shift before getting a rebound in 2024 Their inflation forecast 9.1 percent for this year coming down to 7.3 percent in 2023 While unemployment is expected to rise to 4.9 percent in 2024 from the 3.6 percent Level that it is now, but that wasn't the real kicker. What was the real kicker? Was that the OBR predicted that living standards could fall by as much as 7 percent disposable consumer disposable incomes are going to shrink quite significantly Over the next two years and house prices could fall by 9 percent Well, when I look at some of the tax measures, I think there's a temptation to think that that's a little bit optimistic Freezing tax thresholds five years to 2028 is obviously one case in point Obviously lowering the 45 percent tax rate from 145,000 to 150,000 to 125 Again, that's a significant that would have a significant impact on the higher percentile of UK taxpayers But it's the freezing of tax thresholds that I think is going to do the most damage Because if you've got inflation Running well above 5% for the next three or four years and you're freezing tax thresholds Which normally rise in line with inflation for the next five years Then the real terms hit to consumer incomes is going to be quite substantial At the same time you're raising the energy price cap from two and a half thousand three thousand Yes, you are giving help to some of the a lot of the more vulnerable households, but you're also Intending to raise fuel duty in March next year by 12 p a liter It's funny that he didn't mention that in yesterday's statement, but it's in there Then I think it's going to be very very difficult to Or for any one for that matter to have a significant amount of disposable income So it's a fairly bleak outlook and I think the only silver lining is The hope That energy prices continue to fall certainly natural gas prices have been on the decline and Are trading in and around? Their lowest levels quite some time the December contract here. We can see that it's down below 300 Which is encouraging the hope is that it will continue to languish around those levels It's still well above the levels. It was 12 to 18 months ago But at least it's coming in the right direction and it certainly will below the levels in August And I think that's one of the big I think that's one of the things that's really got me scratching my head about the severity of the tax rises that been imposed within this budget because Ultimately energy prices are lower guilt yields are lower sterling's higher so Markets have implicated was there really any need to Go as hard Into a slowdown on tax rises and spending cuts The good thing is that it didn't cut Capital expenditure or capital investment Northern Rail is going ahead They're going ahead with size we'll see I Think what was more concerning I think more than anything else was that I think the case for HS2 between Birmingham and London is Flimsy at best and he could have saved an awful lot of money by scrapping that while keeping the northern the northern The northern powerhouse rail the east-west rail as well as size we'll see but there was no mention of of SMR singular modular reactors, which are mini nuclear reactors Which is a new technology being developed by Rolls-Royce. No mention of that. That would have probably been a quicker solution He's hammered the oil and gas sector with a further Windfall tax moving out from 25 to 35 percent making an effective tax rate of 75 percent on all UK Profits now while BP and Shell can probably absorb that quite well slightly different metaphor the UK oil and gas providers like Harbour Energy An inquest to share prices took a little bit of a dive And it's not really surprising given the fact that most of their profits come from The North Sea oil and gas basin and if you want to these companies to develop new natural gas resources as an interim measure to Transition to renewables then you've got a funny way of going about it. So there was nothing about Encouraging investment in new wind farms in you know offshore wind onshore wind rather than taxing the Electricity generators are 45 percent Windfall tax on their excess profits We do know that the excess profits will only kick in over and above 75 pounds per megawatt hour So at least we get some clarity on that but nonetheless it's still Pretty much hangs out a sign to say that yeah, you can make money But if you make too much we're gonna whack you with a windfall tax and you know It's not written given the fact that these sorts of investment decisions generally take years to pay off It sort of sends out a message that The UK is not particularly open to business having said that talking about relaxing solvency to rules to encourage Life insurers to invest in infrastructure projects is welcome. The big question is whether or not it unlocks an awful lot of Capital from the likes of legal in general and Aviva to allow them to invest in UK infrastructure projects So, you know pretty bleak outlook retail sales for October came in at 0.6% So, you know, that's that's encouraging But ultimately I think the next couple of years are going to probably be very very challenging for the likes of the Retail and services sector of which the UK economy makes up around about 65 70% so Yeah, it's It's not a pretty picture. Hopefully once things have settled down a bit March April next year perhaps the the chancellor will see fit to Implement a bit of a relaxation in some of the measures that he announced today. We're assuming of course that The measures announced today are set in stone for the next five years if the outlook improves that may well not be the case But certainly for the here and now It's a pretty it's a pretty bleak out. It's not particularly current and encouraging outlook So what's coming up? Well, we've got Fed minutes UK flash PMIs German and France flash PMIs Germany IFO business climate. It's a fairly light week As we head into Thanksgiving and the end of November Got a couple of notable earnings announcements from being Q owner King Fisher and zoom but over Other than that, there's really not that much To really get your teeth into one notable item out earlier this week was James Ballard of the St. Louis Fed We put the cat amongst the pigeons a little bit yesterday by articulating His opinion that perhaps the Fed terminal rate could actually go as high But as between five and seven percent if inflation Continue to persist at the current high levels that it currently is at at the moment Now, obviously, that's quite a significant increase from the terminal rate that the markets are currently pricing at four and a half And it did prompt a little bit of a bid to the dollar As well as a little bit of a bid to us 10-year yields and we can certainly see that in In this daily chart here with that shop rebound there Nonetheless, we still look as if we're going to close lower on a weekly basis on US 10-year yields and certainly I think while It was a bit of a surprise to hear Bullard talk in such hawkish terms From the underlying narrative that we've heard from other Fed speakers They're not thinking along those lines. Yes quite conceivably the terminal rate could go To five percent over the course of the next 12 months, but for the here and now Certainly in looking at CPI and PPI It is coming down and while it's coming down the Fed will continue to like 50 basis points in December Pretty much priced in we're probably not going to get 75 It's going to be 50 and then if the Fed is data-dependent and inflation continues to fall back As it did in the PPI numbers earlier this week and the CPI numbers the week before Then it could well be that five percent terminal rate Will be very much an outlier It's certainly an outlier in terms of bullards comments and he's the only one making that argument we've heard the likes of Fed chair Layell-Brainard earlier this week are talking about Slowing of the pace of rate rises may soon be appropriate Certainly 50 basis points does appear to be the consensus call for December It's going to be the consensus call also for the ECB the European Central Bank There's a number of policymakers there pushing the case for not a 75 basis point Hiking in December, but a 50 basis point like in December and that's an entirely sensible And we are still struggling at around about the 200 day moving average on euro dollar We have seen a strong move higher. We did see a spike up above The 200 day moving average on those PPI numbers earlier this week which came in below expectations and obviously has prompted Expectations or hopes of a Fed pivot. We're not going to get a Fed pivot We're just going to get a slower pace of rate hikes of 50s 25s and what have you so at the moment while we're below the 200 day moving average We could we'll see euro dollar drift back down Certainly the more dovish noises that we're hearing from a number of ECB policy makers would appear to suggest that the next move is likely to be 50 and We're probably going to get 50 from the Bank of England as well. We could actually given the fiscal squeeze that the chance of or is Implementing on the UK population get 25, but I think if you want to be taken seriously as a central banker I think what we'll get is 50 50 50 so 50 Fed 50 ECB 50 Bank of England maintain the status quo and this really a question of what do we get in 2023? But here and now Euro dollars does look a little bit toppy anywhere near above near around 104 and as such Until we break above 104 we could well drift back down here And certainly the oscillator is looking a little bit overbought. It's a similar sort of story for cable Looking slightly better bid, but again finding resistance at 120 now between 195 and 120 we need to break above 120 hold above 120 and get through the 200 day moving average in a similar way to euro dollar to signal that potentially a Bottom is in and we're not going to see further declines, but again Looking at 120 on cable 104 on euro dollar that a break above that could well signal Further dollar weakness. I'm keeping a close eye on that dollar yen again a decent proxy for dollar strength or weakness We did break below 140. We went as low as one 37 67 165 We are starting to consolidate in and around here these levels here decent resistance around about 141 if we break above 141 then we could well head back towards the 50-day moving average Certainly is looking a little bit oversold in the short to medium term But I think you know unless something materially changes or the Bank of Japan signals a pivot on its yield curve control then What we've seen over the course of the past few days does suggest that perhaps The top is in in dollar yen, and we could see a drift back towards the 200-day moving average We'll have to wait and see certainly my bias is shifted ever so slightly Towards selling dollar strength on any move higher And certainly that would be supported by the fact that equity markets are looking slightly better bid if we look at the S&P 500 but again here we're hitting some very key resistance levels the 200-day moving average on the S&P 500 Around about here, and also it's notable that you got a very sharp spike towards 4,000 on the S&P, but we haven't as yet been able to consolidate above it So again some really decent numbers to get your teeth into here ladies and gentlemen 4,000 on the S&P 500 104 euro dollar 120 cable Yeah, all of these round numbers are significant I think in the wider scheme of things and we need to pay close attention to them Particularly in it given the fact they're all around the 200-day moving average 12,000 on the Nasdaq 100 again round number so We're at some we're at some very very key points in the wider scheme of things when we're looking at Financial markets, and it's certainly something that we do need to be aware of and certainly when you're talking about technical analysis And you're looking at confirmation of a break higher or lower If you want to see confirmation of a weaker dollar, we need to break above 104 We need to break above 120 we need to break above 12,000 We need to break above 4,000 on the S&P 500 to signal that perhaps a weaker dollar is on the way at the moment We're getting a similar sort signal in gold We haven't been able to break above the 200-day moving average on gold, which is around about $1,800 an ounce We've actually fallen short so we could see a little bit of a tightening in yours a little bit of firmer yields Which could actually push gold Down again and and firm the dollar up in the short to medium term So to say there's quite some way to go when it comes to whether or not we're going to see this weaker dollar narrative confirmed and Those key chart points will tell me an awful lot as to whether or not we can expect to see that play out as we head Towards year-end and December and obviously we then have the December payrolls numbers as well as a whole new set of inflation Data before a very key Fed meeting, which is in the middle of December The certainly Brent crude is looking soft again back towards the bottom end of its recent range. We can see that here Not quite back at the lows that we saw in September, but it is welcome The term Brent prices are coming down the only fly in the ointment I think is going to be China at the moment COVID cases are rising there So we're not going to get a reopening anytime soon Which should keep a lid on oil prices going forward we look at a footsie 100 Again similar sort of story very much a range trade Not really much to see on the footsie 100 here But it is quite notable that it is struggling to really can sustain a move above 7400 in the short to medium term Dax is looking much more resilient But again, we've seen a bit of a consolidation and we're currently struggling to get much above 14,500 I mean, we could conceivably argue this is a bit of a flag formation starting to form here And if the dollar continues to weaken we could well break higher towards 15,000 Certainly think there's scope for that But at the moment the Dax is the only index out of all the other indices that we've looked at That has shown any evidence that it's in any client to break out Euro sterling is like watching paint drive dry drive dry like watching paint dry Fairly well offered above 88 fairly well bid around 86 70 That's the range of it and I don't think that's likely to change any time soon In terms of earnings numbers next week we've got King Fisher B&Q owner hasn't had a particularly great run of it this year It is approaching the 200 day moving average. We've seen a fairly decent rebound off the table lows But I think the only the only sort of positive For that particular business is the Polish business has gone from strength to strength The outlook for Q3 was encouraging initially in the wake of their Q2 numbers Like the like sales were down by 0.7 Now that could well deteriorate further if recent retail sales data has been any guide and could put Four-year guidance under threat. So it'd be very interesting to see whether or not they guide lower on four-year guidance That was unchanged back in September at between 730 million and 770 million pounds For full year profits. So keep an eye on that. We could well see that shifted towards the downside Zoom video again seen a little bit of a rebound off the october lows but It's It's struggling to fill the gap that we saw when it gaps lower in August disappointment over its q3 guidance When it issued its q2 numbers Q3 revenues are expected to remain steady at 1.1 billion Profits are expected to fall to 82 cents to share but a full fiscal year zoom says it sees four-year revenue back down to 4.39 to 4.4 billion dollars and profits of three $3.66 to $3.69 which was down from around about 375 Zoom is blaming a slowdown in its online business as few people took advantage of its online service against the backdrop of increased competition from microsoft teams And sysco systems Webex service Okay, so I think that's pretty much it for This week ladies and gentlemen. I hope you all have a great weekend And speak to you all same time same place Next week. Thanks very much for listening

Internal Revenue Service IRS Tax News. Free IRS programs are here to help taxpayers prepare and file returns. But first, an attempt at a joke. I apologize in advance.  And I'm not letting it back in. Until it stops hurting. I don't care how much it cracks off at me. IRS Tax Tip 2022-18 February 2nd, 2022. It's a new tax season. While some things are different, one thing that remains the same is taxpayers can have their taxes prepared for free through one of two long-standing IRS programs. People with low to moderate income may benefit from this free tax help through one of these programs. Volunteer income tax assistance. This program is for eligible taxpayers who generally earn $58,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English-speaking taxpayers. Tax counseling for the elderly. This program is mainly for people of age 60 or older specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors. Here are some benefits of using these programs. They're conveniently located. Sites are generally located in community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other places. Most sites are open from February through April. Some sites are open through October. Some locations offer virtual services and self-help options. Filing is safe and secure. VITA and TCE provide free electronic filing, and e-file is the safest, most accurate way to file a tax return. Taxpayers can combine e-file with direct deposit for faster refunds. Volunteers are trained on tax law. Volunteers are certified to help people get all the tax benefits for which they are eligible. These may include the Earned Income Tax Credit, American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Child Tax Credit or the credit for the elderly. Assistance is also available in languages other than English. This is available at some VITA and TCE sites. Each site lists the available languages on the VITA Locator Tool. There's a link to that here. Many military bases have VITA sites. Volunteers can help with military tax options, including benefits for those serving in combat zones. Here's how taxpayers can find a volunteer tax site near them. Use the VITA Locator Tool at IRS.gov. Download the IRS to-go app. Call<PHONE_NUMBER>. Search for AARP Tax Aid Locations through the AARP Locator or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. Before going to a site, taxpayers should check out the What to Bring page on IRS.gov. There's a link to that page here. Make sure they have all the required documents and information. If taxpayers don't bring all the files and documents, the volunteers may be unable to help them. There's links to those items here, and there'll be a link to this in the description.


Hello and welcome to our video summarizing everything you need to know about the songs of ourselves volume 1 part 2 anthology. My name is Barbara and this is the 9th of a 15 part video series where we examine all 15 poems in this anthology. Do make sure that you come back for video number 10 because every day we will release a video examining each of the poems in detail. So let's carry on with the next poem in this collection which is Ode on Melancholy by John Keats. Now in order to fully analyse this poem you must first understand that melancholy in other words sadness was viewed for the longest time as an illness. It was an imbalance according to a lot of people especially in Keats' time in the body's humours specifically in overabundance of what they called black bile that led to ill temperament in other words depression, mood swings, anger and a brooding disposition. And this for the discerning reader might have very well been the categorisation of the entire romantic period. Do remember that John Keats who lived in the 1700s was seen as a romantic poet now contrary to what you might think with the word romantic it's not to do with love it's more to do with the association of nature and nature being seen as the highest manifestation of innocence and what everyone should aspire to and everything to do with the city as being associated with the corruption. Now John Keats as a junior doctor would have most likely come into the definition and the treatment of melancholy during his training as a doctor which is why this particular poem Ode on Melancholy is so interesting when it comes to his writing. Now this was written in the spring of 1819 as part of the famous Great Odes and it differs slightly from the others in the fact that it addresses the reader rather than an object or emotion. It's also one of the shortest of the Odes with only three stanzas of ten lines each a total of 200 words and it's packed with Greek mythology and imagery that Keats no doubt gleaned from his studies at Enfield and also from his interest in the classics and classics literature. Now this Ode whilst not amongst most lauded or well known of the Odes is still perhaps maybe the most uplifting and hopeful of all of Keats's Odes whereas his other Odes dwell on the injustice and misery of life. In Ode on Melancholy Keats addresses the reader a sufferer of melancholy in other words a sufferer of depression or maybe sadness and tells this reader not to worry that beauty and pain are intertwined in the world and that both offer a fuller view of life when occurring in tandem. Melancholy which is a notoriously unbeautiful subject has actually turned really beautiful by Keats's flowing words and his fond address. Now it's worth pointing out that Keats originally had written this as a four stanza poem. The first stanza was removed just before it was published and the missing stanza is as follows as you can see beneath here and it states that you should build a bark of dead men's bones and rear a phantom gibbet for a mast stitch creeds together for a cell with groans to fill it out bloodstained in a ghast although your rather be a dragon's tail long severed yet still hard with agony your cordage large uprooting some of the skull of bored medusa sirtees you would fail to find the melancholy whether she deemeth in any aleath doll. Now of course this stanza was removed and Harold Bloom stated that should the first stanza have been published with this Ode it would have to set the delicate balance of the entire poem which is at its heart and acceptance of the state of melancholy and an embrace of misery that resonates with the reader in its simplicity. Now when it comes to analyzing the poem specifically Leith the Greek goddess of the underworld river of oblivion features in another poem called Ode on a Nightingale. Now in the first stanza Keats lists what not to do when be set by melancholy. There's also perhaps why the earlier first stanza was rejected by using a heavy amount of negative words no nor not. Keats actually manages to drive his message further considering that he's speaking about the idea of melancholy and bad temperament. Now the negative grammar helps to reinforce the idea that melancholy is actually a part of life one can't escape it by praying for oblivion or drinking wolf's bane. Also it's not the intertwining of death within the phrase it was well known for melancholy to cause a brooding temperament and a wish for death however Keats's masterful imagery within this poem and his dreamy invocations bring to the forefront the infamous dream world that's glimpsed throughout all of his work. In Keats's world and in Keatsian poems the world is made up of myth and legend this is also the case in melancholy where imagery is made up solely of almost religious motifs and Greek myth and the splash of colour for instance ruby grape which helps to ironically bring ode on melancholy to life. Now in the second stanza of this poem Keats moves on from what not to do when beset by melancholy to what one can actually do. He notes the idea of melancholy suddenly appearing in detail which he mentioned in a letter to his sister and brother as being debilitating almost changing the world. Reading it with a modern perspective one can clearly draw illusions to depression the way that Keats describes the sudden fall of melancholy the way that the imagery suffers for it and turns droop-headed flowers and hides a green hill in April shout to quote from the poem however what becomes evidence to reader is the beauty of this imagery. Now it's not only the beauty of Keatsian poetry of John Keats putting a pen to paper and delivering a journey of half a myth half pleasure it's also the beauty inherent in melancholy a sort of preciousness that Keats attributed to sadness is helping him appreciate life further although sadness has its pains according to Keats it actually helps one understand the scale and scope of happiness in life. In other words what's life without measure of sadness so that one can accurately see how happy one is thus Keats suggests enjoy the bursts of melancholy that come across and to quote from the poem he states then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose or on the rainbow of the salt sand wave or on the wealth of globed peonies or if they mistress some rich anger shows imprison her soft hand and let her rave and feed deep deep upon her pairless eyes. Now in the final stanza Keats shows the importance of melancholy and shows that melancholy is entwined with so much of the higher and most beautiful forms of life it's entwined with beauty and to quote from the poem beauty must die and joy whose hand is ever to his lips bidding adieu. Therefore it's impossible to have a complete life according to this poem without melancholy it's also impossible to live with only half emotions in other words with only just happiness and this sense of contradiction to mixing in the happiness with the sadness actually helps strengthen the ideas that Keats wishes to express to us as readers and he does this through contradicting but effective imagery such as the example of April so for example April is a sad and rainy month but it's also beautiful in its own way and it leads to the blooming of those droop headed flowers that he mentions a morning rose although fleetingly alive has a broody that brightens during April.

Item number, scp backslash, backslash, backslash, backslash, repeating dash j. Excuse me, that's not how you pronounce that. What? I know it's spelled scp backslash, backslash, backslash, backslash, repeating dash j, but it's actually pronounced scp throatwobbler mangrove dash j. This is a silly document, and I'm not going to read it. Serious note, the following article was generated by loading all 3,000 plus SCPs into the Botanik Predictive Keyboard app. Aside from some minor formatting edits, everything presented below is taken verbatim from the results. Item number, scp 3004, object class, Euclid safe, special containment procedures. The searches are not optional. Information pertaining to scp 3003 is to be suppressed until confirmation of the appendicitis diagnosis, blood. Individuals exposed to scp 3505 must be administered class BM nestics and repurposed as the feast. In order to ensure that no members of the public are able to view scp 3006, it must have written permission from site 28 Roguet to take over the Gulf of Mexico. Procedure Lambda Manos is to remain constantly monitored for possible issues with the following, breakfast sensation, initiating flight path through the skin layer, silly crab productions, agent Cooper's sexual education, facility director Shirley Gillespie and the smell her body is wrapped in. Dr. Oswald is currently available for further details. Footnote 1, Dr. Oswald was a baked man known to have one or more edible forms. Following his consumption in front of his wife and children, the foundation discovered that harvesting plant tissue removed from its brethren has been a useful resource. End footnote, deceased relatives are no help. Description, scp 3004 refers to a 2 square kilometer area of landmass deep in ape corpses piled outside Mongolia.  Within scp 3007, no specimen of Balanoptera, another placental mammal, vessels have been found in the location other than cloud types. Protruding from scp 1762 is a male humanoid figure approximately five corpses tall. The subject is able to exert an extreme amount of food products filled with spherical members from its body. Further investigation revealed the composition of its body to be an infinitely special holiday stuff. Footnote 2, this is strictly limited to researchers who wish to be held. End footnote, when questioned the subject reported itself to be made of softened materials incapable of being communist. Scp 3007 has been found to produce fragrance with its corpse creatures. Clinging to the top layer is a very slight minty smell thought to originate from further beneath the shroud. Addendum, scp 2282 was discovered after reports of males becoming inexplicably harmless people were recovered. All personnel assigned to scp 2003 have been found completely emptied of contents. Removing their dead body started feeling kind of formal and the smell was later described as, quote, crispy sex pirates, end quote. Agent Maxwell lost some vital minutes before abandoning flesh itself. Voices identified, Dr. Oswald and Agent Maxwell. I want you to talk directly into the transcript. Copy that. What makes sense to you is worthless to me. Father wanted a fresh source of noise and we wanted a good time. All the memories I've written on the back of his skin have become a single footnote in his head. Why do you still have anything to do the face protruding from behind me? I was pretty much the only foundation personnel in the area. No more perpetual snake species. Apart from my mouth, the whole world felt alien. The effect had turned my hand into a skeletal golem. This place probably spread beyond its body and watched as I cried.


So I'm going to share two ways that scientists have organized this fold universe to be able to make more sense of proteins. I'm going to show you the databases in a second, but I'll first show you a sneak peek just to get you to realize what we can use the databases for. This is a database called CAT, and I'm going to take you through the rings in a second. But the green ring here corresponds to really overall architectures that we can have proteins in, and the size of them corresponds to how common they are. So this is a class of some sort of orthogonal bundle where we would have lots of alpha helices, the global folds too. We have the beta barrel folds, or architectures in this case, some sort of beta sandwiches. If you looked at those two right, remember, you can have instead of one sandwich, you can have a two layer sandwich. I don't think that's visible. We can have a three layer sandwich that this is kind of the Rosman fold, right? And then you can have some alpha and beta complex. There were a bunch of others that I ignored here, but you see that some of them are much larger than the others. So with only, say, eight or so of these, I could represent the vast majority of old folds possible.


DevTools also has some great image tools in Chrome which show you the rendered size, the rendered aspect ratio, which can help you determine the aspect ratio values that you want to use to display that media. It shows you the file size, the current source, and it can help you make decisions about image optimization and also sizing aspect ratios, all those things. So definitely check out DevTools for images. What you do is essentially just hover over the image and you get all that information in a nice neat box overlay. Yeah, a little image tool tip, great tip there.

I think he has every right to just such a talk. Whatever it's about. I Only wanted to be sure he talked to the correct party. That's all Sergeant Kennedy to show you the way mr. Marlowe to scenario cell. I was a bit confused Right I seem anxious to help scenario over some rough hours, and yet at the same time he was shrewd In no time he'd work me around to where I'd be the fastest most courteous informer on record if scenario was a fake I thought But I thought otherwise when I was alone with scenario and knew that an agrado jewels did still exist mr. Marlowe Why are you looking at me that way you understand what I'm asking? Don't you see wait a minute take it easy Billy step at a time Now you say that the jewels never went overboard.  Is that right right?  Okay Where's the beginning Billy last august 5th? It was me and the other two a big red-headed louse named Jesse Tapp and a girl named Gloria Gloria Konkowski a blonde with a little scar on the bridge of her nose Jesse's girl strictly flashy We took my boat. It's a fishing smack the love lady We we sailed from San Pedro over to Baker's Beach. I Was the one who shot him mr. Marlowe and the jewels they were in the leather bag Jesse had them But after the shot we split up fast and ran I hid until the next morning then shoved off and the love lady I don't know about the others. I was picked up that afternoon The rest you know I'm not so sure At your trial you swore that I was alone and the jewels went overboard. Well at first I thought that I might get off so I had to climb up, but then I Then everything changed the verdict, huh?  I want the jewels back to the little old lady Hmm. I always liked you Billy. I Know how you work mr. Marlowe got enough for you to start on It only came yesterday. That's why this is last-minute rush you might say Mr. Marlowe, I know where Jesse Tapp is that also means glory isn't far away from where? San Pedro down near the docks now look There's a tough old guy who runs a dry dock and repair lash up for small boats name of Jomo. I worked for him a year I also left him the love lady He spotted tap had his eyes open for months for me. No questions asked. He was here to see me yesterday He's out to find where tap hangs out now. He's the one you see yeah But wait a minute What makes you think Jesse Tapp still has the jewel because I saw him take him and run and he's still hanging around San Pedro Maybe he hit him where he can't get to or maybe he doesn't want to get to him until he's contacted the right fence anyway, mr. Marlowe It's a chance. I'd like you to take for me Of course I Can't talk about your feet look kid. Don't you think we ought to talk to mr. Marlowe? I've done nothing but think This is the only way it can possibly work the only way it can help me and Mrs. Negrado both well Will you try it? Yeah, I Guess so Billy one last thing mr. Marlowe if you make it by before 11 tonight Get the word to me will you And if you don't make it or it looks like you're not going to Don't lie Okay Okay Times up, mr. Marlowe Sorry, snare. It's all right Kennedy. Don't mention it. So long mr. Marlowe Goodbye Billy It took five minutes for me to walk back to the warden's office and five more to lie to him about what scenario it wanted of me And another tend to get outside and head toward my park car I was thinking about what the condemned man had told me when I suddenly realized I was the middle of a busy street Right smack on the path of a speeding car Mr. You're right. You're okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay much obliged I'll try to remember to look where I'm going next time He's jerks figure every streets and in the map will a speedway and I think that gives it didn't stop either I know, but if you're interested I got a squint on him before I was in that corner drugstore after a coke And while I was waiting I happened to see this guy stand outside his car And all of a sudden he got out and talk off. I mean he got all that speed up just me into the street Tell me friend. What do you look like? Tiny tiny like your pinky finger and elevating shoes on plus the fact you needed a shade I think it was purposeful to you not an accident. I mean, I don't know But either way I'm much obliged to your friend. Bye.  I'm glad I can help him some way That both heroes is you know, the love lady putting her back in the water tonight Love lady It might be what he needed to keep him out of trouble at that. It's hard to say Jomo But look, I don't have much time. Do you know where I can get next to this Jesse tap? I Followed him just this morning from a bar on 3rd Street. He's hiding out in a warehouse and look out He'll road it shut down out won't open up again. Hold on Jomo that noise that came from out here There's someone there mr. Marlowe. Oh Not any more there isn't And there probably wasn't I got me a clumsy little cat Marlowe always fallen over Jomo. You said look out hill road, right? I yeah, there's only a block long the highest point in town You just head straight up King Street to the top. You can't miss the warehouse. Thanks Jomo, you have no idea what this is all about, huh? Well, I Wouldn't say that Marlowe But you see I don't let myself think of some things too much. I Keep my mind on boats more than people easier to understand Easier to repair too. Good luck Marlowe. I was less than 10 minutes finding the deserted warehouse which ran true to form Rust and every other window broken When I was out of my car and moving around toward a side entrance. I saw something else It was a girl tall and blonde standing in the deep shadow of a fit shampoo billboard When I started for her she threw one scared look my way then scrambled into a pocket for a key I made it just as she got it out and into the door lock. Let's not be hasty honey When you stop kicking I will not before sweetheart. Not Not before Gloria How do you know the name Brad I have a cute little scar on the bridge of your nose Hey, you should have duck kid not that it doesn't add character.  I don't know you sure Jesse does just Why anyway names Marlowe here to see your boyfriend tap her schedule. It's a business appointment Gloria business. Oh Yeah, sure Yeah, thanks, huh? Now that we go up a throw pebbles at the window until Jesse comes out which they go up now that I know who you are You know Jesse didn't mention you coming. That's what I like about working with Jesse Which way up these days? Kind of nice setup. We got here. Yeah Sweet of the owners to let you have a key. Well, it wasn't exactly that way Jesse has changed the lock. Yeah Is that the door one mark president? Uh-huh. Mr. Taps very own Imagine Jesse as an executive funny. Hey, mr. Head of the firm. You got callers see That jerk's probably asleep The way I figured asleep in the swivel chair. Hey, mr. President. You got company Jesse come on wake up the guy here What's wrong with so much to fix honey? Head of the firm Jesse's been shot to death No business as usual today dead How do you like that? Not much Now maybe it's you I do business with huh? What are you talking about? Now look, I never liked to get into money matters with names, but now I'm stuck So let's get to work you and me Where are they Gloria? Well, what come on?  I want to see him I don't know where they are. He wouldn't ever tell me. I don't lie. You were his girl Ever since I met that guy I've been living on double-talking slaps in the mouth.  Oh, I just stick because of them stones.  Yeah Believe me, mister. I learned the hard way not to try to pin Jesse tap down You do whatever you want. I'm getting out of here before the act just a minute Somebody did this baby Yeah, but I took a lot of chances setting up this deal the move on the grotto jewels I wouldn't want to be edged out now by cheap competition like a squirt and Built-up heels. What's that? Nothing to swing in the dark. Excuse me sure now you excuse me. He's strictly your problem sucker I stood and watched her as she walked away. I didn't know just what my next move should be but Then it hit me Whoever had killed Jesse tap would go for her next So when she held a cab at the foot of the hill I ran in my car and I started after it But by the time I got turned around a switch engine playing shuffleboard with a string of boxcars cut in between us And that was over Gloria was gone. I spent the next hour and a half raking the neon lighted muck along the docks looking for her with no success Until finally in a rancid backwash called the reef I got a break But from another direction The same unshaven little man with high heels who tried earlier to run me down was at the bar Blinking back the sting of a straight shot. I watched while I picked up a handful of small change from the bartender And when he plants taught a phone in the hallway at the rear I followed him It was too good to be a coincidence. Yeah, that's right. I'm ready San Diego Yeah, Christine for the right How much okay? Hello Hello Christine. Hi, baby. This is friends It doesn't honey. I got it all set up. Yeah, I'm going right now right away. Yeah, it's dark now and everything's ready. I Said everything good night I'll have them in an hour and be out of here Hmm I'll just be a good girl till I get there understand Yeah, I'll see you before morning.  You know that Goodbye, baby. Hello little fritz.  Listen slim. There must be some mistake The reason you just made it when you knocked off Jesse tap and now that I got your little fritz I'm gonna shake you up and down until a lot of answers or a lot of teeth start dropping out of you My what's gonna be come on? Run along bus to its private. Oh, yeah.  Hey, don't you believe in the brotherhood of man. Yeah, but this weasel don't qualify No, he told me follows. He was gonna rock me. Oh, he was was he put him down here. Come on.  Hey He beat it. Oh, you'd think you'd stick around long enough to buy us a drink Judging from the way my face felt That's who long shaman must have Barnacles on their fists In the five minutes it took me to climb back on my feet. I Thought some very unpleasant things about the brotherhood of man both foreign aft But I dropped when I remembered the time was running out fast my client And I still hadn't got beyond the loose ends. I started with Taps girlfriend glory and little fritz Was a hunch that took me up the hill of the old retired warehouse again I parked the block away and started taught it on foot when they Glow from a lonely cigarette said that it wasn't quite as deserted as it should have been The cigarette belonged to a woman Who was someplace under a lot of makeup? Interesting evening.  No, no just a philosophical discussion Nice view from here not too bad Girl like me needs a view once in a while keeps the past from crowd in the future And see the whole waterfront from here without smelling it. Yeah, that's great, huh? Now look you haven't seen anybody hanging around here in the last few minutes. Have you kidding? Nobody hangs around this old dump First time I've been up here in a month. Nobody's hung around here since This old Tom died Used to be the night watchman That it was a lot of last for you old Tom He had that upstairs from no one that one up there He's a time I've been It's queer that's real queer look what oh a telescope Not it on the window, sir. Yeah, old Tom never had a thing like that up there What do you suppose put it I know who honey my question is why That's a let's go but seems to be pointed down there toward the small boat anchorage. Yeah Where a certain boat was in for paint and repairs That could watch every step from here when the job was done Holy smoke it could be thanks, baby. You've been a big help sure all things to all men Have fun, sonny My client's boat was a long shot, but it was the only bet I had And it stayed a long shot all the way down to Jomo's dock There the odds began to drop fast weaving money when I heard the motor running and found the door to Jomo's boat house half open It became odds on when I eased inside and stumbled over Jomo himself stretched out unconscious on greasy planks like a beach full whale I Stepped over him got my 38 in hand and edged out along the catwalk to the open dock where the boat scraped restlessly against the tenders There were no lights except for a tiny spot No bigger than the hole in the candy lifesaver that probe finitely along the seams inside the cabin Was little fritz with a shielded flashlight intent on finding something fast I stepped into the boat Deliberately took over an oil can and crouched the light went out. Oh, who's that?   I'll blow you in two Wait Who are you it's me fritty Marlowe? So tap hit the stones right here on Bill scenario's boat, huh? Yeah, yeah, that's right. They're still here Fortune hey look fellow if we played smart this shot at both. I want a few things straight for us. Correct me if I'm wrong Tap hit the jewels aboard here after the robbery without scenarios knowledge But after scenario was caught he gave the boat to Jomo who kept it locked up inside there Which meant the tap had to wait until Jomo'd finished his repairs before he could get back the stones again, huh? That's right. Have it too hard to handle anyway They had to be head someplace that they were safe.  We can do business and another thing How'd you get into this act in the first place? I got ways like a couple of friends on the inside That figures One of them must be on the inside of the state pen That's how come you hooked on to me so fast with that car. Who is it a guard named Kennedy? He's a pig the cut rate show the other friend behind you with a gun That's my baby. I'll take your gun now, mr. Marlowe. Oh stop it put it away for it To find the stones and that's yet, but won't be long now sugar Marlowe getting out cabin and run this boat We're going out go on move. Oh, no wait. I'm gonna baby. We don't know anything about boy We're not taking any more chances here and tie that rope at the back fritz.  Sure Well skipper where to That's warm out of cost baby. We've been through plenty together, huh? Yeah, like putting Jesse tap out of the way for a starter sure what he asked for he was a pushover for Gloria It was little Gloria who killed him a all right, so it was me Let's call me up and warn me you were coming here to Pedro and I overheard you when you talked to Joe Moe I knew you get to Jesse and make him spill so I killed him It's gonna have to be done sooner or later. Anyway, the old double-cross. Yeah, they all double-cross Oh, that's the game the smart ones always play with the suckers always win not always fritz Oh often enough to make a what? I Heard Marlowe's crack about that Christine full of fritz Straight ahead Marlowe Now what baby still got me to worry about that's too bad. You're a nice guy Where are we?  You said it have another couple Coast Guard mud. Do you good? Oh, thanks? Look, I was wondering if if we located the girl you told us about yeah, yeah She wasn't as lucky as you were However your boat hung up on the rocks the boys found all that jewelry in the cabin and it's leather baggy Well, we'll be in a couple of minutes good I'll just have time to call a young guy and tell him he can close out his books a balance now he's Paid up in full when I got through to warden Riker told them all that it happened And gave him the message for Billy scenario. He thanked me and said The kid was facing 11 o'clock like someone who?

Welcome back to my channel guys, it's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and styling. Today I have five skirts you should have in your wardrobe as a tall woman. Struggle is real when trying to find clothes and to fit our friends. But it's certain pieces that will make getting dressed a lot easier and here are some of my favorite pieces that I think you should have in your wardrobe as far as skirts. So satin skirts are those items that can actually be dressed up or down and for tall women what looks really good on us are maxi skirts or even a midi skirt. It's kind of hard going between maxi and midi depending on the brand that you get your skirts from but sometimes the midi is not so midi on us and the maxi is not so maxi. The goal is to find something that's at your knee or a little bit below your knee and then for maxi at like at minimum your ankle anything higher than that would still to me would be like a midi skirt. I have two in my wardrobe that are kind of like a line style and a line skirts are really amazing on our frames because a lot of us are bigger at the top like most of us have broad shoulders or at or an athletic build. Typically softer materials look really good on us so satin skirts should be in your wardrobe. Get multiple colors I would always recommend getting a black and like a nice neutral color and I'll show you guys some videos of me with mine on. This is what I'm saying that's because you can wear them so many ways and the goal is to always get the most out of your clothes. I've said this before and I'll say it a ton of times as tall women it is hard for us to find things and sometimes you don't really want to put that out they're like oh it's so hard for us to find clothes but that's just the reality of it.  Get a black one and definitely get something that is neutral. The second style of skirt you should have in your wardrobe are denim skirts. Denim is on trend right now so it's on trend but it's never been out of style if that makes sense. People are wearing them in the fall with boots or you can wear them with some slides which I absolutely love in the spring definitely once fall hits I'm sure the ladies are going to be wearing them with boots and sneakers and anything else they could actually put them with. Oh you can wear chunky boots with them if you want to go for that style. There's so many things you can actually do with a denim skirt so you can wear chelsea boots you can wear ankle boots you can definitely wear knee boots any of those boots sneakers anything can actually go with denim skirts they're really good to have in your wardrobe just go for a color that can be worn a lot right so light wash doesn't really look good in the fall or in the winter but if you get something like a medium wash you can definitely get your course per wear and ladies I don't care how many times I say this as tall women we have to get our course per wear because we cannot find the stuff as often as we would like to so it's best to go for something that's great quality and something that you can actually wear multiple ways especially when it's something like these pieces that I'm mentioning because that way you can have them for season after season. Definitely go for denim skirts maybe get a black one as well which I'm going to show you guys too black is another color that can be worn a ton of ways okay you can go for a dark crispy black one and I mean crispy like I mean like that deep dark black or you can go for something that is more of like an acid not acid wash but like a like a faded black because those look really good with red it gives it kind of like an edgy look but you could also like I said wear those with shoes sneakers boots anything so definitely go for blue and black denim skirts these are just essential skirts that you should have in your wardrobe choose the best colors for your wardrobe basically if you have a ton of satin skirts or tops that are like neutral colors or like pop of pops of colors any of these skirts can go with those pieces so you want to grab pieces that are going to like I said get the best and your best cost per wear I'm not going to sit here and tell you to go buy the most expensive satin skirts because to be quite honest sometimes they don't even feel that great okay so you want to go for things that's really going to make sense for your pockets in your wardrobe and the last piece would be a wrap skirt wrap skirts are amazing on tall women a lot of us do have more of an athletic build or are very slim there's not many tall women that are extremely shapely and it just could be how the body is made because we're longer wrap skirts do give off a really nice silhouette on for the girlies who have smaller hip and smaller bum areas so definitely go for a wrap skirt there are tons of them and you can go for even something that is ruching that also has a wrap because that also gives you some sort of shape when you are wearing the idol those are five nice pieces that you should have in your wardrobe if you don't have them now definitely go ahead and get them satin skirts are the raid you can get a ton of colors they're just really nice they're very versatile and I definitely think that they will make an impact on your wardrobe for the girlies who do not like satin skirts you can definitely still go for pencil skirts with pockets if that's your thing so for the girlies who are tall who are trying to build out their wardrobe definitely try to get some of these pieces in there start now me I'm always going to keep adding to my skirt category because I like skirts they look really nice on us and I think a lot of us should really stop wearing them a little bit more and trousers look really good on us too so those are pieces that I would definitely keep in my wardrobe for a really long time and they're like essential pieces so if you don't have them definitely go ahead and try to get them you do not have to spend a ton of money on them but mango okay the Zara the Frankie shop they have nice denim skirts and you want to go for denim skirts that are denim right nothing that's mixed with like elastic because it's really not going to last you for a long time the goal is to make sure that you are getting your course per wear and buying great quality another tip is to make sure you are taking your stuff to the dry cleaners because sometimes ladies when we wash things people tend to dry them and then before you know it the item is trash those are some skirts that I think you should have in your wardrobe if you don't have them today I'm basing this off of my wardrobe and how easy it is for me to get dressed or as tall ladies we do struggle when it comes to finding things especially in our size if something does fit us that's at a brand that does not cater to tall women we definitely have to grab the pieces up and again if they have multiple colors get multiple colors okay thank you guys for joining me today if you have any questions about any of the skirts that I mentioned in here they're all from mango with the exception of the orange one the orange one is from express or banana republic I'm not even sure I'll just double check but the rest of the rest of the skirts are from mango so this is what I'm saying that we don't necessarily have to go ahead and shop at a tall girl brand if we don't have to especially for things like skirts we can find skirts at regular brands that fit us and then get probably jeans or trousers from a tall girl brand I think it's a really good idea to start with these and go from there guys so if you like videos like this please comment below and if you stay to the end of this video please comment Coco we see you and guys don't forget to follow me on Instagram at Coco Styles NYC and Coco Styles NY and my personal style blog Coco Styles NYC and Coco Styles NY for my style services and guys I'm on TikTok Coco Styles NYC that little Coco Styles NYC and I will catch you guys in the next one bye guys
