What Marcus Peter said y'all ain't about to be out here getting these headlines making these YouTube videos about me without me stepping in to defend myself YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and hit with another video and in this video a follow-up We get the other side of the story. We heard it from Jarvis Landry on the matters He called Marcus Peters a coward for spitting at him I know a lot of people felt like oh man, why is he bringing it up after the fact? He didn't say none of this in real-time, but then somebody made a very good point in the comment section They said well if you saw your house being robbed wouldn't you still get mad even though you didn't know it was getting robbed in real-time I was like, oh, okay, and somebody else Somebody else said man y'all just being chatty patties man. So shout out to Dame Dash That just reminded me that whole interview with Charlemagne, but anyway Marcus Peters This statement actually came out last night and let's just get straight into it what he said So, of course, we know what Jarvis Landry said we heard the interview We heard that that reporter boy. He was going for he was trying to stir that pot He was trying to get them boys hot Jarvis Landry ain't really bite though Well, he gave enough quotes and whatnot, but he wasn't really he didn't really seem like he was getting too He didn't he seemed like it was like, okay, whatever is what it is. That's that But with Marcus Peters Marcus Peters, like I said, he ain't want to let this thing linger He ain't want to let this thing keep going and he was like, you know what? Let me nip it in the bud right now talk about it. So he said his statement I didn't spit at Jarvis where I come from when you have an issue with someone you deal with it face-to-face Man-to-man anyone who believes that I intentionally spit at him does not know me playing And simple So that's that he addressed it He said anyone who believes that that I intentionally spit at him does not know me plain and simple so it's when when you see the video like I said it's Initially, I was like, okay, he just spit and even some people in the comment section like It happens in football all the time When when it's time to spit it's time to spit and you just you just spit and you do it It's soul second nature and it comes so natural that you're not even doing it at somebody just spitting just to spit I'm then again when you look at it again It's like what did he could have spit at any time before he got by Jarvis after he got by Jarvis He could have turned his head in the other direction opposite of Jarvis, but he spit in Jarvis direction If he really tried to spit at Jarvis, he got some really bad aim like some really bad aim Because that was it was close to him, but like Jarvis was it wasn't like Jarvis was running If you wanted to catch him with a loogie, he could easily got him So it is what it is this whole thing. It's um It's almost like they trying to build it all up to a Ravens versus Browns part three That's what it seems like it's heading to it. It does I know right now if everything was all said and done as in in this moment Then the Ravens would be out and the Browns would be in But hopefully some things shake out to where the Ravens they end up getting into And they out of all the teams that they are fate in Competition with for that last spot or the last couple of spots. It's the Browns. It's the Dolphins. It's the Colts The rate is lost last night. So they're not out of it, but yeah, they're probably out of it So, let's see and it would obviously take some crazy seating and whatnot For the Ravens to end up meeting the Browns again Because in order for them to meet each other to meet up Two ways one the Browns they would have to win the division and that would take the Steelers losing out And the Browns winning out. Is it likely? No, could it happen? Yes, anything is possible We we have seen crazier things happen in today's NFL So the Browns could win a division and Ravens could get the I think the six seed I want to say But if they wanted the vision, they would not be number one seed So they would have to play that first weekend. So what would ever see that they would be? Then the Ravens we had to get matched up with them that first weekend. That's one scenario now another scenario would be if Ravens and Browns obviously both get into the playoffs and then the Browns they obviously don't play each other in the first round But the Browns beat whoever they playing so they will they will be whatever seed that they were playing in the Ravens They would beat whatever seed that they played. So it will probably be like two upsets so to speak And then those two end up getting matched up with each other down the down the line So that's a possibility Because if they if the Browns upset whoever they played and the Ravens upset whoever they played both of them would actually have to do upsets two weeks in a row, I believe because One of them will play who at if they upset somebody that first week They would have to play whoever was the top seed whoever got that by week, which is most likely gonna be the chiefs then Anyway, if if round three happens These are all like like promos like WWE promos leading up to it Where did they have in the backstage interviews and whatnot? They're like, oh What'd you think about what Marcus Peters did and and obviously? Oh, well, I just saw the footage I didn't even know that he did that Then Marcus Peters they interview here and what what was that? What you did? Oh, well, I just I didn't I didn't do that Intentionally anybody that thinks that I did that intentionally. You don't know me Well, I'm from we talked to people face-to-face. We handle it face-to-face man to man straight up So hey We'll see what happens. Hopefully we can't get the round three. I mean Whoo, the levels of stress would be extremely high in that one because in this last one they were extremely high What a game that was just an amazing game And then I know somebody said these two just need to have a straight-up boxer match. They need to just box it out That's it. Um me. I think maybe they should just have a sit-down conversation Maybe they just talk Marcus Peters one-on-one with with old I said, oh, they're back on June with Javaslandry them to sit down Talk it out hash it out because they they again, they do have history They do have history. I know somebody was like, oh man, that's what you call history because he commented Perfect under under post Yes People try to like give a job is the benefit of the doubt with that one with Ravens extended him when Ravens extended Marcus Peters And Javaslandry say perfect, you know, Dale Beckham said whatever he said to like, you know, they would you know He's being petty. You know what he was doing.  This is great Okay, he's not he's like and he's like calling you sorry without calling you sorry Or saying that he can get the best of you without saying he can get the best of you because if it was a thing where It was like oh man, if it was more of a sort of a respect thing not that he distressed Well, I'm sure you don't respect him now But if it was more of a respect thing then he probably would have said mm-hmm. I look forward to facing this guy two times a year. I Look forward to this matchup. I look forward to this challenge two times a year But then boys say perfect. He said perfect. Yes, let's go So we know what he was doing and Marcus Peters again. He ain't innocent either He is definitely not innocent either. So Anyway, we'll see what happens with these two down the line. We'll see what happens with these two teams down the line Because it just From here on out. It's this part this aspect of it. It's always gonna be a storyline amongst these two Marcus Peters versus Jarvis Landry and Somebody said oh man, this is the new Odell Beckham junior versus Josh Norman. I don't think it's on that level I really don't because those two like those dudes was throwing hands, man Marcus Peters and Jarvis Landry. They not they they just been exchanging quotes back and forth issuing statements Saying stuff and interviews and all that and presses and all that So that that has not reached the Josh Norman Odell Beckham junior level yet and Hopefully it doesn't because we don't we don't need nobody fighting. We don't we don't need all that So anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and Just like that spit from Marcus Peters. I'm out


Another day another update the developers keep working too hard this time in the workbench engine Let's open the wasp bot blend file that is available on renderer.org for everyone to try this new setting it's a Workbench setting is a way to pre-visualize your your scene the workbench engine is this new engine that is meant to to help you Work better basically so in cycles and EV you set your your shaders to look awesome But the workbench is to actually work right and one of the things that you do when you actually work is to test your your shaders your Everything basically with a different kind of lighting in different situations So instead of you having to move the lights around or try different Lighting setups or HDR now you can actually tell blender Which HDR you want to use as a background and this is can be custom so just a quick roundup of the things that you can do to test your shading you can see it with a different but Single-color you can also use random colors and then flat lighting studio lighting Can shadows you can have all this kind of stuff you can also see the textures So you can actually see just textures applied to your model, but you can also In this new way of pre-visualizing is changing the HDR So you select it from a list right now There's only there is the default which is nothing and then there is one that is included for now They was taken from the cloud. I think it's from Greg's out. It's It's an HDR basically that you can just move around and you can test the Your your scene with this HDR. So if You look around you will see it's a bit pixelated They ideally this could be hidden or even blurred in the background. So you don't actually look at it You just care about the lighting and with this lighting you can also change the rotation you can Rotate just to see how it looks you have these two little balls here down here, which are for Like a pre-visualize how it would look in a completely Metallic sphere this case completely reflective and the second one right now. It's a bit Reflective, but yeah, it's gonna be completely refused So you have a way to compare is very common in game engines I believe I'm just just to compare how the material look in a Something that it's generic right completely metallic completely diffuse Something that's gonna be added to is is a color palette there so you can see how they react how colors react But basically also you would be able to hide these little balls if you don't feel like them But the coolest thing is that this HDR so you can pick them you can add your own so In your Blender installation when you install your settings when you have your your scripts your add-ons your presets For the time being these will have a better UI, but for the time being you can to test it You can make a folder called data files inside you can make another folder you have to that is close to the lights and Inside there are two folders that you can use where you can add your own HDR in this case for the HDR the folder has to be called world and There you can place anything for example I have the Blender Institute here that I like and the Verde images They can be JPEG, but they can also be HDR and if you close an open Blender again, you would see the Options here available basically so when you are in HDR you can select them from the list So the ones that was added and and the ones that were already built in with Blender So in this case you can be at the the old Blender Institute when we were in the south of Amsterdam and you can rotate So this is an easy way to personalize. I want I want actually I want to see the the wasp with this background you can check how is your your scene doing with the different kind of lighting and Let's let's bring it to the Blender Institute Nice Of course, this can be affected by the lights here if you can disable if you want to disable the lights you can disable anything basically and See it only affected by it I think for right now the implementation is still a work in progress is being affected by the Studio lights, but ideally it won't and in the final implementation is going to be only implemented by the Oh, sorry only affected by the HDR so you select so it's a work in progress But it's actually pretty pretty neat because then it means that you don't have to actually go and move Select your lamps and move them around to see how the light would affect it You just use a different HDR. You are your collection of HDRs and That's it. So it's pretty awesome. This being worked on by Your own backer isn't part of the workbench engine, but it's also using EV there So Clema was also helping and this is part of the goal quest. So super awesome and Yeah, go play play with it


Hello and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we're on episode 263 of the Wizard101 Death Walkthrough last time. We hit it into the river which is where we are now and we did the other dungeon with the Hidmaster and today we're doing this There is no way I could hope to survive a confrontation with Raven but once my heart is free won't freeing your heart destroy the spiral? Have you grown sentimental? Do not trouble yourself with such questions. I have a new mission for you. Our friend the admiral will smuggle you and Mallory to a place called Xanadu in Imperia. There you will learn how to break the paradox chains. Now go all of you. Mallory and the wizard didn't come all this way to listen to you prattle on about the past. Wait this isn't what happened. Oh Mallory haven't you learned the rules of this place yet? Did you think you were in charge here? Hello again Raven child and you too wizard. It's been too long. He's got a bit of a transformation there. Yikes. Wow must have been ugly under that cow but I had no idea. You are fools to come here. Were you not warned of the dangers? I don't care. Tell me why am I the key? I thought it was because I could destroy you. Am I meant to destroy the chains instead? Will freeing your heart end the conflict? How can I do it without destroying the spiral? So many questions. We'll find the answers together. All I ask in return is that you break the paradox chains and help me get my heart back. But the spiral will die. It will indeed. But with my heart returned to me I will regain my full strength. I can weave a new spiral. You and the wizard can help me. You can choose survivors of this world to live on in the next. I will give you dominion over it. Raven won't be so generous. What do you think? Do you accept my offer? No way. I thought not. I warn you your essence is the easiest way to bring the chains but I have others. Trust me you do not want me to use them. Mallory if you remain here much longer you will die.  You'll have to catch me first. Wow. Last don't worry wizard. I'll deal with her soon enough. But first I will deal with you. I'll make you the same offer. Bring Mallory to me wizard and you'll rule over the next world. You refuse. How disappointing. Good luck escaping. The dream is over wizard. Welcome to your nightmare. Yikes um he's a bit of a he's a bit of a I really never liked grandfather spider. I've never really liked him. He's just frustrating but this area now this area is cool. Except this guy here. Now wizard stay calm. I have no quarrel with you. So you have not forgotten me. I am touched. I will help you wizard. How could I have forgotten you? We've fighting you. We've fought you like a billion times. The tower yonder. It contains a portal that leads out of this dreadful place. Why do I help you? If you cannot escape this place you will die.  Me in other words. So be quick. You will need a key to enter. Take one from these miserable little spiders and the way will be open to you. Yikes um yeah bellock not a fan of him um but this place really really really is cool. It's a mix of marley bone um there's bobby yuggers hut there um dragon spire obviously and I think yeah basically just marley bone and dragon spire and a bit of bobby yuggers hut just floating about. Kind of creepy um but yeah I'll be back once I've defeated these dream more gents. Okay I am back we got the key which is great no dialogue um but um yeah angel ported to me just as I finished that battle and got instantly pulled I was kind of confused because I saw like the death port animations and then um the battle circle joined I'm like wait why why am I joining the battle again I just finished it I was a bit confused but it's just angel shout out to him um yeah let's head into the nightmare tower that sounds fun absolutely exciting and stuff uh just ignore discord up there shout out to us um the jabberwock again you know what I really dislike is why they're bringing back the jabberwock again this is legitimately the third time we've fought him this is like bellock all over again like seriously why why luckily he's got a lot of um well not a lot of health which is great for me we're gonna blade I don't know why I'm keeping this battle in because we do only do bosses but technically he could be considered a boss just with no health so you know he's a boss without the health of a boss basically um so that's why we're doing him on on on camera I I don't know I'm confused as well this is probably going to be a longer episode just because I think the next fight from memory is gonna be um a lot of trial and error and slightly frustrating um also we need another enchant and we can basically just hit easy clap gg's um also the sound in here is quite soundy quite loud quite loud not gonna lie we're gonna turn that down a bit um uh yeah so that's that's exciting but yeah the next fight I mean if you if you if you've seen anybody doing this which I would expect you have by now um you know exactly what it is if it isn't I'm not gonna spoil it but it's a person we've faced many times before may or may not be in this room right now yeah you know he's a bit of a prick I don't like him he's really annoying he's frustrating every single time he's just frustrating I swear they just bring back characters just to be like heart we got him we got you back again you thought it was over nope nope not today not today folks he's back haha you make me frimulous oh is this his media strike chat finally probably oh look at us wow so cool said no one ever am I gonna die not quite that actually didn't do much at all I'm surprised I'm really surprised I thought that would do way more maybe I just have such a good resist because I'm OP or something I don't know I don't know who knows who knows um yeah what is this what is this boy oh vengeance wow he's gonna crit on me yikes get it or I think that's what it was I can't quite remember it could be it looks like the fire one as well it will either be it might actually be the fire one it might be it must be the fire one because it's got the fiery bits down the bottom I'm really bad with knowing exactly what they are I'm so bad with it the worst well we're not getting a enchant so instead we are gonna go for a dinner just because we um yeah it's it's gone but that's fine right yeah it's whatever it's whatever I didn't eat it anyway didn't eat it anyway I'm seriously gonna turn down this music it is way too loud like it's not loud for you but for me it is blasting through my eardrums and I'm not a fan of that not a fan of the blasting through eardrums type also the effects are really low as well I like the effects I haven't played in like forever so all of the things are probably messed up that was an email um I hope you enjoy the sounds of me recording again um because it's not be it's been a long time so um yeah that's exciting I'm still getting used to recording because it's been way too long um crit at least we crit that's always good knowing my luck they're gonna block oh he didn't block that's always a good idea good idea good work didn't block oh this could actually kill if it doesn't block it will kill that's actually I'm proud of that I'm really proud of that I will use a potion definitely um but yeah none of them blocked I am surprised I am very surprised about that geez good very good now reach the top of this tower and you will find your way home yep definitely not a trap at all 100% confirmed not a trap ever definitely not a trap hey look new loading screen so cool so cool okay um so there's a puzzle here really really simple puzzle um I don't know what happens if you fail it blocked my friend to move forward remember the long path that brought you here walk it again and you will face your final test um so yeah basically we have to open all of this in order of the worlds so first off we started in wizard city if I got this wrong I'll be so embarrassed um it makes a really cool cool wee little rifty thing to say that it's been done um we've got crocotopia is next this is like the most easiest puzzle in the world um definitely um what was after crocotopia marley bone marley bone is here got a marley bone mailbox which is cute um it's gonna have letters um next was mooshu I say it's really easy but I know it I'm gonna mess it up I just know it um there's mooshu it lights up right yeah it does um then we've got dragon spire which is the statue here then we went into celestia because celestia is pretty cool ignore my phone um then celestia is a faria which is here the obelisk here is a faria um then we went into um avalan avalan as ticker as ticker and then chrysalis as ticker chrysalis pilaris and then mirage mirage easy clap we did it you have done it bravo now press on wizard quickly this door is so cool like this is the coolest door in the game so cool um yeah so that's all of the words up to before imperia which is crazy um so let's head through the door let's head through the door and face our final enemy here oh look it's a dragon spider tower oh look look at this I can't believe you fell for that one now I will crush you and you will be trapped here in your nightmares forever okay um so there is a cheat to this boss obviously because it's balak obviously if you if you guessed it was balak congratulations if you knew it was balak you're a cheetah no you're not not actually um he's got a lot of health there is a cheat to him in order to kill him you actually have to defeat his um his partner in crime which for us today is um I don't know what it is um it is a mirror image of something um now with 33 percent more balak which is crazy um so yeah that's exciting we are we are gonna go for a blade um storm one that's actually not too bad I can't remember if there is a death one or not but storm one is good we're probably gonna just kizma um it it's only got it's got 6000 health um and as soon as we do that he casts rara himself so yeah it makes it makes it makes it exciting and stuff um I'm assuming I'm pretty sure he won't death shield but I know there is a myth one so that is something to be a bit cautious about because that one has earthquake this one probably has sirens and will destroy all of my blades ever um you never know probably wouldn't put it past him 40 50 45 um we will kisman next that should kill hopefully you'd really have to kill before he kills you um because he's a bit of a tough cookie he is a tough cookie I blocked how did I block I don't know I do not know how I block that I have like two percent block that's ridiculous um not complaining either that is really cool um so yeah he's either gonna sirens which would be bad um really really bad we're getting a bit of lag I have had so much lag over the last like couple of days in whiz it's ridiculous and I don't know why I have no idea why at all um I'm really hoping it's not a sirens and if he fizzles oh it's on him even better please don't be fortify the spray nope but it's not good job easy clap gg boys we did it hopefully if we could definitely did it if not then we might have to just deonite or something um I mean we have the pips for it so yeah and can we correct no we cannot but it's fine we should be should be good should be good this is a lot of blades um I was wanting to put up a faint but it's kind of best just to kill it did enough it's killed anyway so now um feel the power of what wait what no yes right it attacks you because you're bad yeah that's right fight yeah boom you're dead boy that was easy easy peasy fight yeah go away yep that's a lot that did a lot a lot a lot now wizard you must deal with me really really dream melisda you you had to be brought back to everybody who said they'll never bring back melisda you were lying they did hold wizard why are you so hostile I am here to help you I am not melisda wizard I am only an idea the dream of what melisda could have been what he should have been you are lost wizard and the fate of the spiral hangs in the balance you saved me from my dark obsession now I will save you spider has locked you in your own mind but you are still in the reverie all minds touch here on the edge of the other side you can find malory's mind again concentrate on her focus your memories of her down to the tiniest detail feel her presence you've done it go quickly wizard go now yep the joke jokes on everybody melisda wasn't actually had a hurt us for once finally he's actually being helpful took him a while back off wizard this is what I came to find be quiet and listen I don't understand grandmother what am I to do with this baby I'm not hungry right now haha brace her as your own keep her secret even from your friends in the arcanum nobody must know about her she's so cute oh my gosh look at that Polaris is so far from the rest of the spiral she would be safe here and perhaps I can forget her forget her I don't understand where did you get this child look at this baby baby malory so cute I drew her out of myself out of my very heart she is the part of myself I cannot trust she is the temptation to undo all the horrible things I had to do for the sake of the world I lost and the spiral I wove to replace it horrible things then she must be oh grandmother can you live without her I must someday I may need to take the ultimate step to fight the final battle with him I could never do it if she were still in my heart that is horrible still it shall be as you say I will do your bidding grandmother still in her heart the part of herself she that's it I understand I'm ready now let's go yay we sorted out malory malory is fine now she's all fixed and we understand more of the story yay it's amazing how that happens um so yeah let's quickly finish off this probably slightly longer as I said earlier um please don't disconnect me I was about to say I got that last night it was ridiculous I don't know why but this game hates me at the moment it absolutely hates me we're just going to click this either either burst because because I can um and we're going to talk to malory hi malory I know who I am now I thought raven hated spider I thought I hated spider not get it now raven and spider opposites and opposites clash but they also attract in the beginning raven loved spider even after the first world broke even after she locked spider's heart in chains she still loved him she was afraid her love would keep her from stopping spider if he ever escaped or that it might tempt her to set him free so she made me I am ravens love for spider pulled out of her heart and made into a person but she went too far all she has now is hate and she'll kill the spiral just to get to spider I can stop it I've got to get her to remember to know that love again but I don't know how still I can feel something I have some of ravens memories buried in my mind I think I can find them and understand them but it's going to take a lot of work first things first I need to wake up okay let's um return return all the way back find beans not pork he's he's returned yes we have it's about time when malory woke up I figured you'd be appearing soon well done yep let's talk to beans you look tired too bad oh wizard's work is never done so true getting malory to the chain did the trick wizard I'm happy to say she's finally on the mend I feel better but my essence it's gone what do we do now what you do now is rest you may be on your feet but you're a long way from all right you're staying here doctors orders wizard the captain called on the communicator a while back looking for you let me call him back beans to pork come in captain pork here I'm on zanadu we found bat get the wizard over here as fast as you can tell them checking with spark that's what you're doing next wizard get to a stream portal and make your way back to zanadu okay so next time we will be hitting into zanadu we'll be probably I can't remember how long it is I don't think it's too long so we'll probably be finishing up zanadu that we stint and zanadu that we have next time but anyway

In 1984, the first of what would be a nine series slasher film debuted. This was the film A Nightmare on Elm Street. This of course is a cult classic film about a dead serial killer who comes back to life in spirit form and kills his victims in their dreams using a gloved hands with razors on them. He also notoriously wears a hat. And of course this character's name is Freddy Krueger. But what if I told you Freddy Krueger was based on a true phenomenon? A phenomenon that happens to a lot of people including myself. It's probably happened to you too or someone you know at some point. Now before we go any further, you know what to do.

We have a lot of fun on this channel. I also want to give a special thank you to David Zublik. I did my second episode with him yesterday over the Georgia Guidestones. I am going to be coming on his channel once a week to discuss some really fun topics. And I will link his channel down below if you're not familiar with David's work. David has a great channel. He's been doing this for a really, really long time. And there's a lot of really, really interesting stuff that he has to present. He also brings on some really awesome guests too. And with that being said, let's get started. Welcome to Esoteric Atlanta. My name is Bryce. And today we're going to be talking about the phenomenon of shadow people and the hat man. Coast to Coast AM is a radio late night talk show. It is an extremely popular show. Weekly Coast to Coast AM gets about 2.75 million listeners. Now this show, this radio show was created by a man named Art Bell. Art Bell is a fairly famous man in the fringe community. And in fact, most of the topics that Art Bell spoke about were paranormal. Now, of course, in doing so, he had a lot of very interesting guests on his show. And it was on April 12th, 2001 that Art Bell had a Native American elder that went by the name Thunderstrikes on the show to discuss the phenomenon of shadow people. Now, from what I understand, Art Bell brought on this special guest because he had received a lot of information from listeners of the program about being haunted by these entities. Now, of course, these entities are figures that appear in a shadow form. They are obviously not from this world. A lot of people will confuse them with ghosts. But if you have experienced a shadow person like I have, and you've also experienced a ghost like I have, then you definitely know that there is a difference between the two. And in fact, there are a lot of cultures and a lot of religions that will describe these shadow people as beings from the underworld. Now, Thunderstrikes interview with Art Bell. I will place below in the description box. You can link to it and listen to it for yourself. There's a lot of information there. So much information that I'm really just going to skim the surface. I don't have any Native American in me. I don't have a heritage in the Native American culture. And so I'm going to try to do my best to explain shadow people the way Thunderstrikes did in this interview. Again, I apologize if I get anything wrong. I am trying my best. According to Thunderstrikes, the first recorded mention of this shadow people phenomenon happened in 1153 BC. Very, very, very long time ago. Thunderstrike did mention that everything that's happening, especially with the shadow people now in present time, has a lot to do with the prophecy that we're living in. Now, I find this really, really fascinating and I actually want to go back and listen to this interview a couple more times. Because again, this took place in 2001. In fact, this took place before September of 2001, if you know what I mean. Thunderstrike mentioned a prophecy in the Native American heritage that said from 1980 to the year 2000, we would be living in this time of awakening. I was born in 1983. So according to this prophecy, myself, my sister, and many people around my age were born during the time of massive awakening. I know in a lot of our present day conversations, we're talking about now being the awakening. But according to him, that was back from 1980 to 2000. From the year 2000 to present, we are living in the quickening. And so that means that our time is actually moving faster. I can agree that sounds legitimate. I do feel like time is moving a lot faster. And we do know, especially those who are of us who are interested in French topics, time is relative. It's relative, right? Now, according to the Native American philosophy, all of this quickening would come to a head in the year 2012. We know this from the Mayan prophecies too. And a lot of people will scoff at that because, of course, for us 2012, nothing happened. However, what we forget is that we did change calendars at a certain point over in Europe. And so a lot of occultists will tell you that this year isn't 2020. The year we're living in now is actually 2012. But anyway, according to Thunderstrikes, because of this quickening, because of time moving faster, we also have developed a faster metabolism, a faster energy. Now we know that the body is energy, just as the earth is energy, just as the universe is energy. And because of this quickening of energy, from what I understand, what I think he was saying is that the veil is lifting. Now we've talked about this, the apocalypse means to lift the veil, to reveal, right? And so according to Thunderstrike, these shadow people live in a fifth dimension reality. It's a parallel reality to our own reality. Now for us, the fifth dimension pretty much lives with us while we're in our dream state. And sometimes when we're seeing these beings, it can be at a time where we're in between waking up and falling asleep or vice versa. Now according to Thunderstrike, we also see the shadow people with our third eye, meaning that most of us are more typed into our natural intuition or psychic ability than science gives us credit for. Now according to Thunderstrike, these shadow people are almost like vampires. They feed off of us. Whenever we're experiencing a negative emotion or projecting negativity or fear or anger is usually what gives these beings the power to slip through the veil. Now this, as Thunderstrike said, might not necessarily be a bad thing. Sometimes these beings will eat the negative emotion so it doesn't exist anymore. This whole interview with Thunderstrike on Art Bell's show, Coast to Coast, opened up Pandora's box so to speak. All of a sudden the station was flooded in with even more people talking about their experiences with shadow people and another entity called the hat man. A lot of times people think shadow people and the hat man are the same thing. They are not. I have experienced both. The hat man is not a ghost-like shadow. The hat man is three-dimensional. He is an actual being. And according to Heidi Hollis, another guest on Art Bell's show, Coast to Coast, the hat man is what inspired Freddy Krueger from a nightmare on Elm Street. Now I really enjoy Heidi Hollis. She is like the savant when it comes to shadow people and hat man. And I'm going to leave a link to her website. I'm going to leave a link to her books on Amazon. And I'm going to leave a link to her social media in the description box below so that you can read more about her and her life's work trying to understand shadow people and hat man. Now Heidi Hollis is definitely a woman after my own heart. She has had so many experiences with these beings, as have I. And she's very, very, very open about it. And I really respect that because when you are allowed to experience things that are weird or maybe fringe, keeping quiet about it isn't doing anybody any service. So many people have experiences and they think they're going crazy or they don't. People won't listen to them. But because of Heidi, she has given people tools from her experience on how to work with these beings when you happen to come across them. Now, one of the biggest arguments from skeptics is that what you're dealing with when you experience shadow people are a hat man is sleep paralysis. I have dealt with sleep paralysis as well.  It's healing itself.  And so your mind is awake, but your body feels like it's being pinned down. Now, I don't dispute sleep paralysis and the feeling of panic that it causes. However, a lot of people who deal with shadow people and the hat man, I don't believe are having a sleep paralysis. Because in my situation with the shadow people and the hat man, I haven't been asleep. I was fully awake. Not even in bed. According to Heidi Hollis, the shadow people again are these entities that hide in the corners. They're shadows. They're definitely from the underworld. They're not super positive beings, but they like to stay hidden. Now, according to Heidi as well, opposed to the shadow people is the hat man. Again, the hat man is like a three-dimensional being that you can't see through. Now, according to Heidi and her research, which I absolutely respect, is that the hat man is the boss of the shadow people. Heidi went on to say that she believes in a lot of situations where there is a haunting in the house. The haunting is actually being caused by a shadow person because Heidi said just like Thunderstrike said that these shadow people feed off of people's negative emotions like fear and anger. Shadow people do have the ability to cause illness in a person. They can also cause arguments within a home. And even though the damage done by shadow people is great, their power is very limited compared to their boss, the hat man. Now, again, as I've said a few times, the hat man is a three-dimensional being. I've seen him. It's very freaky. You can't see through him. He is literally like a body.   His eyes, if you get a chance to see his eyes, are red. And his hands, a lot like Freddy Kruger's hands, are like claws, almost like razors. Now, again, the shadow people, they like to stay in the corners. They don't particularly like for people to know that they're there. They can do the most damage with you not knowing they're there. But the hat man on the other side of the coin, now, he likes for you to know he's there. He likes to challenge you. And according to Heidi and some other research that I did, there are a lot of people who have been in physical altercations with the hat man. They've been bitten by him, scratched by him, punched by him. And in fact, Heidi, in her interview with Art Bell, recounted a story where she had to attack a hat man to get him out of her personal space. Heidi Hollis also brought up this topic of astral travel, which is something I've never done, but I know people have had experiences of leaving their bodies. Of course, we know that the body and the soul reside together during this life, but upon death, our soul will leave our body. And people believe when they astral travel, that is what's happening. Now, most people who astral travel end up coming back to their body at some point. But Heidi Hollis was very, very worried about people who try to astral travel or do it regularly, because apparently the hat man will sometimes wait for people to get in that position where the soul leaves the body so that they can pull the soul down into the underworld, leaving the body as an empty vessel to inhabit whatever else wants to come into it. In fact, this information matches another story I found from another Native American group in regarding shadow people and the hat man. And this is the Choctaw people. Now, in our last episode, we spoke about the Black Eyed Kids, and we talked about the Iroquois Native Americans and how they had the OTCON, which they believed was a dark entity. We talked about how the Iroquois believed in a good spirit and a bad spirit. Again, like most religions teach us, a God in a devil, dark and light. Well, the Choctaw also believed in the same thing, that there was a good energy and that there was a bad energy. The Choctaw also believed that in this scale, there was good and bad, and there were all these supernatural beings that lived in between the good and the bad. Very similar to the Christian faith, right? You have a God and the devil, and then you have angels and demons. Well, the Choctaw did have an actual name for these shadow people. They called them the Great Black Being or the Soul Eater. Now, obviously, that's the English translation because they did not speak English before the English settlers came to the Americas. However, I am not going to disrespect the Choctaw people by trying to say the names of these beings. Instead, I will just place the names right up here for you to see for yourself. But in saying that, the Choctaw people believed that by even mentioning the names of the shadow people, that you were wishing shadow people upon yourself.  So kind of like Peter Pan, when he goes into Wendy's bedroom and or the nursery and he's trying to catch his shadow and Wendy has to sew it back on him. This idea that your shadow has a life of its own, has a consciousness of its own. Well, the Choctaw people believed that when a person passed away, their soul inside their being, their ghost, was what left the body, went on to wherever it was going to go. But its shadow oftentimes hung around and that was what the shadow people were. They were the conscious beings of people who had already passed before. Now, other people in modern times who have tried to study this shadow people phenomenon also have a theory that the shadow people might just be time travelers. Yes, you heard me right, time travelers. They believe or some people believe that shadow people are people coming from a different time in the future for us and they're coming back in to watch what's happening now, us being their history. Now, I'm not saying that time travel does not exist. Honestly, in the last few years, I don't even know what exists and what doesn't exist anymore. We are all leaving the matrix now and more and more and more possibilities are opening up to us. So I'm not here to argue whether that's a real thing or not. Although, I don't believe that shadow people are time travelers because in my opinion and in my experience, they have always been more on the violent side. And I would hope that if people from our future, our descendants are coming back to watch us now, they would be a little bit more positive and kind. Now, a few years ago, there was a story of an entity that popped up online, a creepypasta story or an urban legend on the internet called The Slender Man. I'm sure most of us have heard of The Slender Man. We know that he was apparently a figment of someone's imagination. Now, in 2014, two young girls in Wisconsin held down their friend and stabbed her 19 times. Now, this poor child did survive the stabbing, a cyclist passing by found her crawling out of the woods where her two other friends had attempted to murder her. Now, at the trial, the two girls that did the deed claimed that they were influenced to do so by The Slender Man. Now, of course, the media had a heyday with this and I am not qualified, nor do I want to speak on the mental health of these children. However, it has come to many researchers' attention that The Slender Man might not be as fantastical or fake as we believe he is. In fact, many researchers, including Heidi Hollis, believe that it is a possibility that The Slender Man is another representation of the hat man. And since we do know that the hat man can communicate with people and he's always trying to get people's souls, is it possible that these girls were being influenced by this entity? Who knows? All I know is that the truth sometimes is a lot stranger than fiction. And to the skeptics out there who think that this is just sleep paralysis, you might want to check your arrogance because I think most of us, as we grow and as we learn and we gain more wisdom, we realize there are things out there that we might not ever know. And when somebody has a paranormal experience like a shadow person or like a hat man, sometimes the PTSD is so real with them from that experience, you can't deny that something happened to them that was beyond sleep paralysis. So for all the skeptics out there, I would just beg for you to have an open mind and to listen to your fellow man when they try to tell you stories of unexplainable things that have happened to them. After all, man versus nature, nature always wins. All right guys, so I did not tell you my experiences with the shadow people or the hat man in this episode because I want to ask you, if you have had an experience with a shadow person or a hat man, send me your story. If you want me to share your story in an episode, I would love to do an episode reading from your emails, the things that you've gone through. Now, if you want to share your story, but you want to stay anonymous, I totally respect that. In the email, just make sure you put that you don't want me to say your name and I'll be more than happy to keep you anonymous. Again, our email address is esotericatlana at gmail.com. It will be down in the description box below. In that episode, I will also share my experiences with the shadow people and the hat man. All right guys, have a wonderful day again. Thank you so much to everybody who is new to this channel. I love having you here. I again, check out David Zublik's channel. Links below. Thank you to Josh McKay for doing our music and to Todd Broderick for helping me edit. And I will speak to you guys soon. Have a wonderful day. Bye.


Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling So in today's video, we're gonna get into some of my current beauty products for the skin. So those of you guys who don't know I like to put things on my skin that make them moisturizing and Glowy if that makes sense. So for a really long time, I was into I'm not even gonna say it was a moisturizer especially for the face Your girl was using Vaseline on her skin. It worked well for me for years Okay, I mean like I've never had an issue with Vaseline for some girls. They can't wear Vaseline It will literally clog their pores and make them have acne. I never had that issue if I would get like what we call a Black folks a bone It will Like I would just like leave it alone. If it left a slight mark child I will put Vaseline on my face and that mark would be completely gone Don't know what it is. It's like a protector, but I know it's just not good for your skin But anyway in this video, I wanted to share some of my current fav some are Like recent recent and then the other ones you guys have probably seen but they are in rotation heavy for me So the first item is for my face and that would be this pre cleanse by Thermalogica listen I mentioned this in my face you video and the reason why it's a Fave of mine is because it has like this liquidy Texture, I don't know if you guys can like even see it's very like Liquidy all like not liquidy like oily and if you are a girl who likes to Shave the little hairs off your face This is a really good item to use because it's cleansing your skin while you're able to like glide the actual shaver across your skin It's just like a good barrier between your skin and the actual blade if you own that this If you have not double cleansed your face before Definitely give it a try and also if you have like any mascara like all up in here girls This will get it all out when you're rubbing It's never caused any issues like for my under eyes or anything like that if I am rubbing in this area I am rubbing very very light and if I needed to go under here I'm gonna use this finger. It doesn't add as much pressure to your under eye as opposed to your point of finger So this Dermalogica Pre-cleanse is definitely one of my current faves and I'm probably never going to stop using it unless I come across something else that is cheaper but In the meantime between time your girl is gonna be using this item But if you are interested in something like this safara does carry this item and I believe you can just go on there Actually website and just get it but safara is more Accessible than you know order something online unless you get it overnight, but that is the first item The second item is my Peter Thomas Ross skin Exfoliate in Cream or whatever you want to call it. It's called a peel But it doesn't necessarily peel my skin when you rub it on it does give you Like some crumbles right, but it's just from the product and sometimes I'll just let it sit there So the enzymes can sit on my skin for a while, but it's not the cheapest It's not really big, but you only need a really little bit if you're doing like a small Exfoliate and treatment on your face. It's a light exfoliate and gel Neutrogena does have one, but I am gonna tell you I tried it out before and the next day It looked like I had like a heat rash on my face. I think it was just too harsh And I'm gonna tell you why so I ended up using it again But I put my cream Neutrogena cleanser on first and then put like a little bit of it on and I was fine So it's just too rough for my actual skin. So when you are doing cleansers and any face shoe stuff For your skin any exfoliating items really pay attention to your skin. It may happen overnight or may happen a couple of days later, but Try not to add too many products at once so you can wean out what the issue is the third item that is my current fade is the image MD vitamin C serum. Oh Gosh, hold on.  Okay This I've set it in my face you video along with something else This is an item that I Slept on for a really long time meaning I didn't know that I really needed a vitamin C serum The one that I used to use by intimates into what intimates I don't forgot because I stopped using it This is I always had to order it actually all of the items that I had to order from that brand um, but The reason why this is a little bit different from most because it does have like a Like a cloudy Cloudy situation here. I don't even know if you guys can see that because it's not zooming in And most of the other ones are like really clear in color and it has kind of like a Medicine smell a little bit. So it's their restoring power C serum girls It is like 110 or 12. I don't know something like that But it's worth it. You only need a little bit in like here in this area and just like spread it around But this is another current fave of mine The other item I'm gonna turn that goes with that piece is the skin fix barrier Yeah These two together. I'm probably gonna say it over and over and over But that combination with that vitamin C serum and this And this is the largest one, I didn't even realize I bought the largest one this right here. It got the little top for you to Press and then the little I don't know if you guys can see it's like a little tiny hole So you won't pretty much overdo it when you're pulling out some and it'll help you stretch your item your product But this is the skin fix skin fix barrier triple lipid peptide cream Oh This is a current fave. I'm probably So it's a few items over here actually All of these items for the face that I'm gonna show you are items that I'm probably always going to buy and I want to say these are kind of like staple products to Meaning like it's not like a new product and it's gonna be out next year or two years But this is a great great moisturizer is like I said, it is expensive So you can definitely try the what's the other one that I have the confidence and cream Well, that's still pricey too, but they're really good But there's more check them out out there But definitely this is one of my current faves and the other item is going to be Let me pull it. I Just got this I didn't even bring the other item in here because I didn't want to make the video too long It's the Kiehl's rare earth deep pore cleansing mask Y'all already know. Can y'all see that? It's this lens. Oh, I Did a cleanse the other day and I showed you guys I'll link the video, but Girls this is like Magic if you don't want to spend this much You can definitely get the other one the other clay masks is by Aztec I think that's what it's called Now it really does dry out your skin that one So you have to put your moisturizer back This one dries it out But not as much as the other one and the other one you got to actually mix it up and make it yourself But it is cheaper if you guys want a video on that one Let me know I can definitely do it how to mix it up what you need to put in it Maybe I will do a video on that because it's affordable and the jar is kind of like Remember the old why I guess I can't say oh cuz they still to carry them like prom prom containers for like just for not just for me like I'm aging myself hold on Not just like this a perm thing how it comes in like that big or even like the cholesterol That's so old to the cholesterol container It's kind of big like that so you can get a ton of use out of it But if you want me to do a video on that I will do it. I Can do a comparison between the two as far as like the dryness It's probably gonna take me a few because I can't do them within the same day But if you want something more affordable as opposed to this go for that But if you want it already made girls don't head and get you this keel. Let me see This this other lens don't do what I needed to do but anyway Yeah, and this was this is the 4.2 fluid ounce bottle It's kind of it's pretty much the same color as um The Aztec one. It's just already made for you. I mean I'll do a video I'll do a video for you guys So that's the stuff for the face. It's not a ton of stuff But these products are not super cheap, but I absolutely love them I'm not a person to try a ton of skin products You won't see a lot of it So it'd be a lot of repeats or maybe from the same brand I'll try but these are things that I've been using for a while now The only thing that is new is the deep pore cleansing by keels. It's new But I tried it out before from a sample that I had and this is why I purchased it So if you can get samples of these items Girl get you some samples and try the item I try to product out Get a couple of packets a few packets And then see how your skin actually takes to the product But I'm gonna get into body and it's not many many things because I realized that I don't need a ton of things on my body So here we go So the first thing is going to be this body serum less serum corpse. I Don't know if you can this does have hyaluronic acid in it Chow when you get it, it doesn't sound like there's anything in here, but this comes in like a little nozzle this is a little nozzle like this and It's not the cheapest. I'm gonna keep saying that Because some people may say it's too much now if you are a girl who loves to read Ingredients and stuff. So you can probably find this for like the low-low with another product I'm being honest But I like this a lot soon as I get out of the shower still a little damp And I'll put this on on top of that little bit of water that's on my body for me I feel like the product takes a little bit better when your skin is actually damp And it's kind of like your your face right before I put any hyaluronic acid on my face I make sure that my face has a little bit of moisture on it So I do the same with my body so this is my face and I didn't even bring the Scrub in here because they didn't have any so I might be looking at a new body scrub some guys And the last one is the Y'all it's almost gone. It's like my fourth bottle. This is the Kiehl's creme de la Corpse lotion y'all This Okay, it is expensive However This little ingredient. I think it's called squalene.  It's something about that lotion that's thick and luscious Actually, I just saw makeup Shayla do a It was tick-tock, but she's always shiny. So I'm like does she use this all the time and I know for sure Somebody else uses this I can't think of the name But these are the products that are currently my faves and I'm not gonna stop using them I'm gonna purchase another one of these soon because when it gets to this bottom area like maybe a little bit further down Chow is so hard to get the lotion out So let me tell you what I do cuz this expensive I will cut this mug open and keep it covered to make sure that it stays moisturized and that I'm not like wasting any of my money my laundry Has stopped and you guys now hear the music But Check this out and this is a this is a big but this is a one liter So and it lasts me for a really long time like I don't usually use a lot of it Usually at night time before I go to bed I use my coconut oil you and then put a little little bit of this on top If I'm using this by itself I do tend to use a little bit more but when I mix it with my coconut oil you I use less so Those are the products that are my current faves and I swear by guys if you're interested in any of them I am gonna link them below so you guys can go ahead and just grab them I love them each item the only item that I had to order Was the image and Z Because I couldn't find this in the store, but everything else you can get from like Sephora Or Ulta Ulta is so expensive Y'all I don't even want to talk about it But thank you guys for tuning into this video 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 In my personal style blog Coco styles NYC and my style services Coco styles NY comm and I'm on tickety tickety Talk Coco styles NYC and I will catch you guys in the next one Make sure you are getting good skincare products guys.

The tallest structure on County Road 39 was the Southern Medley Water Tower, and the rumor was that Troy Nolan didn't scream during his descent of all 129 feet of it. He was a classmate of mine and due to our senior class consisting of only 44 people, his death resulted in quite the frenzy at school. Hayden Christensen wept openly in the hallway and had to be consoled by her boyfriend. Ginger Jackson set up a GoFundMe page in Troy's honor. The proceeds would go to Troy's parents and his brother who was a sophomore. Garrett Locksteed created a memorial PowerPoint slide deck that would be played in two weeks at our graduation ceremony. Don Winston, who turned 18 in February, got a small tattoo of Troy's life dates on his shoulder blade. The most unusual aspect about all the support was that the ones involved, the ones who were the most earnest and affected, had bullied Troy for years. Every cry, financial expenditure or creative avenue inspired by their classmates passing, was amplified on social media with the accompaniment of saccharine deception. Actions were taken for the sole purposes of likes and glorious feedback. The desire for attention was cylindrical and every loop reinforced an idea that profiting attention from a tragedy was not only moral but expected. For example, Don's post of his nearly tattooed skin reached 300 comments in 48 hours. This prompted Garrett to post a sneak peek of his memorial slide deck. After his post received praise, Ginger explained on Facebook how to donate to the GoFundMe she created. When the stir for her post was at its apex, Hayden topped them all with an eloquent post highlighting all the incredible times she had had with her close friend, Troy.  In the interview, she needed her hands, smiled when necessary, and leaked tears of sorrow between questions. I found it odd that she didn't mention the time last year when she'd made fun of Troy in front of the entire class. I remember that Troy was absent from school for the next three days out of embarrassment. This is not to say I didn't appreciate my classmates' energy being applied to something other than field parties and hiding teen pregnancies from the pastor. cynicism ran in my family. And I lathered my inherited skepticism all over my classmates' intentions. Hell, most of my kin felt the same way I did. My family tree branched all throughout the history of medley. It was one of the smallest towns in the state. So small, in fact, when one municipal traffic engineer had a small roundabout constructed on east over avenue, there were 12 wrecks the following week. Most residents that came to the street expected to find the stop sign that had been there for 50 years, but was met with a complicated junction they'd only seen in films or in the big city. Everyone knew each other in town, and if a stranger ever did appear, they didn't remain a stranger long. People like to know everyone and everyone's business medley folks didn't like unknowns. When a problem occurred, it was fixed or discovered quickly. A month after the accidents, the roundabout was swiftly removed, paved over and a fresh stop sign was posted where the old one used to be that explained why the residents of medley were so perplexed by the southern medley water tower. Troy's apparent accident piqued their interest, but it was what happened next that grabbed the town's attention. My senior class was divided. Half thought it was suicide. Everyone thought it was an accident. But people didn't know what to think when Don Winston wanted to outdo his classmates' digital commemoration by going to the spot where Troy slipped or jumped to snap a photo. He posted a selfie of himself atop the water tower at dusk on Wednesday. The photo was beautiful. The golden clouds melted into the crimson sunset, and the town of medley looked stoic and peaceful beneath. But what peace there had been Wednesday at dusk was gone by Friday afternoon, when a road crew found the crumpled body of Don Winston at the base of the tower. Either the workman's platform was unbearably slippery, or we had the most depressed senior class in medley high school history. Like I mentioned earlier, my family had roots in medley since the town was first organized in 1859. It was my great and great grandfather who led the people in his community to organize and make medley a permanent staple in the state. We're a proud family, and throughout the years my relatives had shown me photo albums, government documents, and handwritten letters about our time here. It was fascinating. So when my grandmother mentioned about a third person who would perish from the water tower, it took me by surprise. What do you mean? I asked her while we both sat on the dingy couch in her living room. Always in threes, she whispered. It always takes in threes. That's right, Graham. Bad luck does come in threes. Luck has nothing to do with it. She said and stared at me with those baby blue eyes. It seems to have taken roost on the water tower this time.  What's wrong with the tower? She struck me on the ear.  But what was more painful was the fact she had done it. My grandmother had never struck me before.  It's a command, a demand. Don't go to the southern medley water tower.  I nodded in agreement, holding the side of my face, my eyes welling with tears. It was then that I noticed my grandmother had tears in her eyes, too. Like I told you, cynicism runs in my family. That and rebellion. The walk to the water tower was a short one. And I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Saturday afternoon. A chain link fence wrapped around the base of the tower, but a rusted section allowed for easy access. Or it used to.  So the rusted section of fence had been replaced and a brand new padlock hung on the entrance gate. I didn't care. I wasn't going to climb the tower. I only wanted to see what enticed Tony and Don to the point they were willing to risk their lives. I studied the area for a while. The tower property was nestled in a square cut into a strand of pine trees. The property line was well defined because the water supply district paid a local landscaping company to keep up the area. The tower itself was bulbous and bell shaped, with a small walking deck around the top studded with antennas. To put it plainly, it was an average water tower. My grandmother's words came back to me. Don't go to the southern mentally water tower. You understand. I understood. But my curiosity had me in a vice grip. I stood looking at the tower and wondered who would find it so alluring. I remembered that my deceased classmates had made their voyages to the tower at night. So I made the decision to return closer to dusk. I'm not telling you to rouse your macho curiosity. Too late, Graham. The sun was dipped halfway under the horizon when I returned to the property lines. The pines were sprawling ink stains to the orange glow of the horizon. The tower itself stood tall and proud above everything else. And I craned my neck to an uncomfortable degree to see its peak. A red light flashed intermittently on the very top. Perhaps it was the light that did it. Perhaps my fallen classmates had been high or drunk when they decided to scale the tower then got disoriented by the strobe effect. Two vehicles roared by while I watched the tower. But I hid behind a tree when they passed so I wouldn't be seen. It wasn't illegal to view it, but something in me wanted my presence to be unknown. Despite what I'd thought earlier, the tower did have a slight allure to it. The way it rose taller than anything else in sight was a taunt like whoever climbed it had achieved something worthwhile. Even its shape, the bulbous top and angled bars that went down the supports like a zipper had a dynamic to it in a way that seized the attention of the eye. It seemed that even though it was manmade, mother nature had not only allowed it in her world, but respected it. I was pondering these ideas. When I saw the person on top of the tower, it was a brief glance, but I had no doubt someone was there since the sun had not disappeared completely. Always in threes, I thought to myself, which classmate was at this time? Was it a friend of mine? Was it a classmate who would try to gain popularity from the other's deaths? Regardless, I knew I couldn't wait for the wet smack of a 17 year old body hitting the earth. Before I found out, I could stop this. I must stop this. Before I knew it, I climbed the fence and used a metal hinged box as a lift off point. I jumped off at as hard as I could, and my fingers found the bottom rung of the ladder. Pulling myself up was much too difficult. And as I regained my breath on the third rung, I promised myself to work out more. I climbed. A light breeze found me after I topped the crowns of the trees. I was very high up, but refused to look down. Vertigo would capture me and never let go if I saw how far my feet were from solid ground. I continued up, rung after rung, that red light becoming larger and brighter every flicker. When my hand found the walkway, I called out to the person, but there was no response. I couldn't see anyone then, but I knew they could hear me. Maybe I could talk some sense into them before they did anything drastic. I got a good foothold on the walkway and made my way to the very top of the water tower. It was twilight when I started my climb, and now the sky was as black as pitch, but there were no stars. And the only sound was the soft whistle of the breeze. Medley glowed in the darkness, and the lights of homes and companies were fireflies from my elevation. To be honest, it was one of the most peaceful times I've encountered. I found the shallow stairs and made it to the apex of the tower. I took hold of an antenna for balance and cold out into the darkness. Damn my cynicism, I wanted to prevent a catastrophe. Then the antenna bulb glowed, the light bathing everything around me in red, including the classmate I came to save. Only it wasn't a classmate. It was perched on a railing and had its head bowed slightly between thick folds of cloth. My view of it was brief, but it certainly startled me. I was alone up here with something. Everything went black again, and the thing atop the water tower vanished into the murky dark. My heart stammered in my chest, and a gust of breeze had me holding onto the antenna to keep me from falling over. I prodded the area around me with my foot, and tried to refocus my orientation. I needed to leave. Now why hadn't I listened to my grandmother? The light blinked again. The thing was off the railing and on the steel grate ten feet from me. The folds of cloth had expanded, and I saw it was not cloth at all, but wings. A pair of eyes, as compassionate and forgiving as a new mother to her infant, stared at me within alluring curiosity. It was not the eyes of evil, but of adoration. They were big and bright, and loved me with an unparalleled fierceness I'd never experienced. I was immersed in euphoria and unbridled glee. Everything I'd known to cause panic or fear had been quelled and replaced with relentless contentment. I was embraced, and the light stopped its intermittent blinking, and I was in a void. Infinite darkness spread over me, around me, through me, but the darkness wasn't forlorn. Hopeful warmth swaddled me entire. It was a new birth of enlightenment, a promise of enduring love. All I had to do was take a stride forward, just a simple step over the railing, and the promise would be fulfilled. An explosion ripped through the pleasure. Then another, and another. I could hear faint screams, human screams, when the red light blinked again, and I realized that the winged thing that had enveloped me earlier in its wings was now retreating down the walkway. I could make out a mouth, jagged with teeth, and the bristly outline of fur. Then the fur turned blue, then violent. Another explosion, another. Fireworks were going off around us. With a tremendous flap of its wings, the thing took to the sky and vanished against the brilliant spectacles of color and fire, and into the night. More human screams came from below, harsh screams, screams of my name. I got control of my bearings and went down the short walkway. The breeze blew the acrid smell of spent fireworks all over me as I made my way down the ladder. My grandmother didn't stop shooting the fireworks until she'd clutched me in her arms. She still screamed curse words at me, but she did so through a stream of tears.  I told you. She kept repeating. She walked me home, helping me keep my balance. I felt weak and lethargic. My muscles were so sore that the short walk felt like miles. My shivering didn't stop until I was wrapped in blankets in front of a space heater on my grandmother's dingy couch. She excavated a large book from her bookcase and plopped it on my lap. Open it. She demanded. The first page consisted of two photographs, both of my grandmother. One was her high school senior portrait. The other was taken a few years later as she held my father when he was a baby. What? I asked and pulled the blankets up to my neck.  She held up a small purse mirror for me. It was difficult to believe what I saw. My eyes had changed from deep brown to light blue, the same color as grams. I turned back to the photographs in my grandmother's senior portrait. Her eyes were brown, almost black. But in the one of her with my father, they were the baby blues I'd always known her to have. I saw it when I was 20 years old. She said, what happened? My father saved me. He knew about it too. I told you to stay away. I wasn't going to let it take you. You knew about that. That thing on the water tower. What is it? She tapped the thick book on my lap. This book has been in our family for quite some time. Everything we know about it is in there. Drawings, sightings, killings, patterns, possible motivations. Unfortunately, there is a lot we don't know, but we are sure of one thing. What? It takes in threes. She whispered. It always has.


Let's do this problem, very similar to the last problem in the lecture notes, only referring to the periodic table, how many grams does a mole of each of these molecules weigh, and how many molecules are in a mole of each of these substances. So the first one is water. So in order to figure out the mass of a mole of water, you've got to figure out what the molecular weight of one molecule is. So in order to do that, you've got to look at the periodic table, and the periodic table I'm using shows me to have hydrogen as an atomic weight of 1.0079, and there's two hydrogens in the molecule. So we're going to have to multiply that by 2, and then add that to the atomic weight of oxygen, which is 15.9994. And when we do that, we get the molecular weight. So let's write another column over here, molecular weight, 18.01. And then let's do the same thing for carbon dioxide, so 12.011 plus 15.99. Ammonia is 14.0067 for nitrogen, plus 3 times 1.007. So this one's going to be 17.030. So now we know the molecular weight of each of them. Well, the mass of one mole is the same number but different units. So the number is going to be 18.01. The units are going to be grams. So we can say the molar, so let's do another column. So the molar mass is going to be 18.0 always 12 eggs. It doesn't have donuts. It's always 12 donuts. So a mole or something is always this number, 6.022 times 10 to the corner. OK? So hopefully that helps everybody out.


Hi, my name is Maria, and I'm a visual artist and teaching artist. Today's lesson is gonna be on making butterflies out of origami or paper. So, origami paper or you can just find different kinds of paper at home. So if you have just any thin paper, newspaper, magazine paper works, I created this pattern paper that I'm gonna show you how to cut into a square if you don't have origami paper. So if you have origami paper, just you're just gonna need a square. So it's just a regular square. And then pick out the colors that you identify the best with, a color that represents you. So usually I like greens and blues a lot. So I'll probably make one of the butterflies like a dark blue. And then I also have this pattern paper that I'm gonna show you how to cut out. So you just need a rectangle square. So you wanna make sure when you cut your paper, it's all the sides are equally the same size. So let's see, so I'm gonna guesstimate with this one. But you could also use a ruler. So if you have a ruler, if you wanna make like six inches on each side, you can just put the ruler and cut out. So I'm gonna assume this is all the same length. Okay, so I'm always cutting squares. So it's kind of programmed in my brain already, kind of how to cut a square. So you just wanna make sure that all your sides are evenly cut. You can see, and then you can see there. This one is a tiny bit bigger than this origami paper, but that's okay. So I'm gonna make the butterfly with this paper. So the first thing is you have your square. And you're gonna fold it. I always say fold it sandwich style. When I tell my students, it's like just make sure it's like folded, maybe hot dog also is another reference we refer to. So you wanna make sure that this line is very crispy. So you wanna go with your fingernail just to press it and make sure that it's very pressed.   So cut out evenly. So now you have two sides. So kind of like buildings, so two. And so you're gonna grab one of the papers. So these are your wings. So these are gonna be the up and lower wings. So now we're gonna fold them like an accordion. So you're gonna grab one of the sides and bend it over.  And then continue doing it like this until you're done folding the paper. And you wanna make sure you press every time you fold so that you can retain kind of like the accordion look. So keep pressing.   See, you have like a little accordion wing. And then you're gonna fold it in half. So that's why you wanna make sure you keep your paper small cause it can get really thick and hard to fold. So there you have your lower wings and then spread them out a little bit.   So you're gonna grab similar what you did with the other. So this one is, so you're gonna fold it like this, like a little, maybe like tiny bit. You don't need to like fold it too small. So you're gonna do the same fold back and forth, like an accordion paper. And then you're also gonna fold this in the middle. You can start seeing, you have the upper wings and lower wings of your butterfly.  So it could be any type of string you find at home. And then with the string, what you're doing is you're making sure to keep your butterfly together.  And then you're gonna slowly do a tight knot, spread them out. You have a paper butterfly inspired by nature. And so see with the origami paper, it's similar. I need to put a string through this, but yeah, so. And then you could also fold the edges of your upper papers of the long wings to give it more like a, if you wanna give it more like a circular wings, you could do a little bit of folding there. We've created a butterfly. So as artists, we use a lot of inspiration from things around us. So a lot of my students and a lot of youth that I work with are really inspired by things that they see around them. So like butterflies, birds or animals. And we as humans for thousands of years have been very observant of the plant life, animal life around us. And we've created artwork out of what we see. So some of the earliest drawings humans did were of the animals and plants. And so you can see how we've created these tools like paper that we make art now with and emulating and inspired by nature. And so when I think of butterflies, I think of freedom, movement, I think of crossing boundaries, borders, like just expanding. And so each of us internally have our own little butterfly.  So this teaches us how we can use paper to create things. So all you need is a piece of paper, a string and scissors. So just make sure you ask your parents, you're like, I wanna make this. Just a newspaper, if you have that at home, you could use a cardboard paper, even like a cardboard from like cereal box. You could use that also. So yeah, so my name is Maria and I'm really glad we made art together today. And I hope you are inspired by nature, by butterflies, flowers, anything you see around. And if you wanna create other type of art with paper, that's perfectly fine. The paper is so flexible. There's thousands of things you can create just with a piece of paper.


My name is Mary Jean Butry. I'm a physician trained in internal medicine. I spent my career in Taiwan where I was working at a hospital, essentially as a clinical instructor. I accompanied medical students and young physicians to the bedside, helping them to develop their clinical skills and evaluating patients, how to take a history, perform physical examination, evaluate laboratory data. And I really like to focus on their clinical thinking skills and clinical judgment, learning how to apply the medical knowledge that they already had to each individual patient's case. I was also asked to help with the editing of manuscripts that our physicians were submitting to English language medical journals. They would do the research and write the papers in English and then I would work on polishing the English, but also often they were able to spend time talking with them about the content and how to communicate it even more clearly. It was always great when one of them would come up to me and say they had gotten the paper published. I was asked from time to time to lecture on writing English medical manuscripts. You can't really cover how to write English in a one-hour lecture, but I would focus on the content of the paper, what was expected in the traditional INRAD structure, introduction, methods, results, discussion, what each section, the purpose that each section was intended to fulfill in the paper and to keep the logic flowing clearly throughout the paper. When we retired several years ago, I was looking around for some part-time work to earn a little bit of money and keep myself a bit busy and I thought about using my editing skills. I looked online and came across Crimson in ALGO. I applied and I've been working with them now for about a year and a half. My main goal when I am editing the paper is to help the author get it published. I want to help them to present their results very clearly in a format that is acceptable and expected and hopefully will be accepted.

All right, we're going to work on the Selenium test failure now. So Selenium is our integration testing framework, which means it very commonly tests both back end stuff and front end stuff, which means that debugging it or navigating it can be sometimes hard, since the problem could be in a multitude of places. But I know you can do it. The first thing that we want to do is share my screen. And then the second thing that we want to do is go and look at the failure on GitHub. So we can click here, we see Selenium test. There are going to be actually a couple places where you're going to see Selenium test. So you're going to see one somewhere here. If you scroll down, you'll see another one and you'll see a third one. There are three different types of Selenium test failures. So you can see that when we go over here to Artifacts. And if we click into the Artifacts, we can download the Artifacts and then really see, okay, what test is failing. So we've got test build list and show items is failing. That we found on the zero one. If we download this one is one, we can see that test upload pair and specify extension is failing. So we're going to want to make sure that we're in the Galaxy route. You're probably coming right from the unit test where you were in the CD that when you were in the, you were in the client directory. You're going to want to CD out of that if you haven't already. And we're going to want to find out where these tests live. So let's go do that first. Let's go to BS code and I already have the answers up. Here in test collection builders up high. We can see that test build paired test build list and show items lives here. And in test upload, you can see a test test upload list. Is that the other failure? Test upload pair, specify extension is failing. So test upload pair and specify extension. And if we look at these two tests, we might get a clue as to what is going on. We can see that this one is definitely building a list. And we can see that in test uploads. We're also uploading a list. So a good clue might be to look at the list collection creator. Don't ask me. I'll show you. Of course, what we're going to do next is run the tests locally. So we know where the tests are defined. They're in these two Python files. And you need to have the file location, not just the name of the test to run it locally. And this is a command that you can use to run a Selenium test. Except we want to change this file name to the actual files where we find the failing tests. I'm going to move just a little bit forward to save us some time. And I'm going to tell you that the first thing that we're going to do before we run the test locally. Is we are going to export this line here export galaxy test Selenium headless equal to false. This is important. And it's going to be really good for us. What this is going to do is while the test the Selenium tests are running. We'll get to see the headless browser walk through each step. And that might give us a really, really big clue as to why it isn't working the way it's expected.  So it really doesn't matter which one of these you run, they're both going to do different things. So if you choose a different one than I'm choosing, you're going to see that headless browser do something different. But I'm going to run this one. And we're really only interested in that first test case, even though we're running all of the test cases in this. In this Selenium test suite, we're running all of the test cases, but the only one that failed is this test build list and show items so. That's what we should expect to find, but we should also be watching for the test running. Basically, when you're running Selenium tests like this, they are building and starting Galaxy. So however long it takes Galaxy to run on your machine, it might take about that long to get through that beginning part. And then there's also the running of the test. So here's the test screen and I'm not doing any of this. This is the test doing it. So let's pay attention to what it does. Here's the uploading data. One step faster. Okay. We're going to watch that turn to green. And then we're going to create a list with it. And now nothing's happening. We saw the list be created. But nothing has changed. It might be that this is the step that is broken. And that is the fact that is the truth. So what I'm going to do, because there's other test cases, I'm going to pause here. I'm going to stop sharing and pause my recording and I'll be back with you in a minute as those other test cases run. All right, I'm back. At this point, my test is finished running. And you can see that we have one failed test case and five passing ones and the failed one is test build list and show items, which is what we expected from GitHub. All right. So I already walked you through this very special how to run the Chrome has this browser so you can see it. And I'm not yet. Now we get to find out what the problem is. So as we might have to do is from looking at the tests and from watching the test run, there's a problem with the list collection creator. So this is the less collection creator. I'm going to go to the, the one that I ran with you guys and see what the problem is. So watch the test walk through created the list is put the list there. Right, let's create. And the only thing left to do in this test was wait for hid three. If you remember and you can back up the video if you need to to see what the Chrome have this browser did. We did not see a number three we had a number two, and number one disappeared. Very interesting. You guys want to take some time you can pause right here. I'll give you a few seconds here to click the pause button to look through this view component and see if you can figure out where the problem might be. Why would the test expect to see number three. But it is only seeing number two, let you pause. All right. If you're still here, that means you're ready to see the answer. So the problem lies right here. It's in this hide source items, I have flipped the Boolean to negate hiding the source items. So if we look at the just to compare it to another collection creator if we look at the pair collection creator we can see that hide source items is set to true, and that's really what we want for this collection creator as well. I'm going to save that. After I save that we now have the solution. We are going to rerun the test locally. So here I go I'm just going to click up and run it again, and we're going to get to watch it complete. We're going to hold on one moment. Now that I re-exported my Selenium browser I see things happen. We're going to rerun it. And now we're going to get to see the test complete successfully. We're going to see the headless browser step through it and see that the collection is HIG three. This takes a little bit of time. Not too much time. Depending on what you've got going on, what kind of setup you have, what else is running on your computer, it can take some time. We've got zoom running right now to record this and it's making things run a little bit slower than usual, but ultimately it's fine. Maybe in just a minute. I don't know why it's taking longer than it did five seconds ago. It seems like five seconds ago, maybe, although of course I paused it. I guess I could just broadly talk about I'll let this run and then I'll tell you something else about Selenium test. So we're going to see the headless browser pops up in just a second here. Logs in. So everything that it did last time looks with data. We see the data get uploaded successfully and then we're going to turn that into a list of just one item. And did you see that it passed? You can see that it passed very briefly for just a second there though. You could see that it was number three because the hidden items. Problem is fixed. I want to direct you to do something else that is, I think, important to know when working with the Root Galaxy. I open another terminal window because I still have the one name test running over here. I'm going to go to CD, change directories into database, test errors, and then display them. So you can see that I've run a lot or maybe just a lot of the same Selenium tests. This is where you will get Selenium tests output put and it can really also define something if you guys think this is helpful. Let me know in Slack or wherever and I can add it to the tutorial. I didn't think to do it initially, but while I'm waiting for those Selenium tests to run, I might as well show you something else. So if we change directory into this test, which is one that we just ran, you can see the date. No, not today. That's a lie. Up here you can see that we ran test build simple list, test build list, and show items. This one here. And we'll be able to see that run. So I'm going to change directory into this fail test. And if I list everything that's in there, you can see browser output, you can see some logs, you can see a stack trace, and you can see the last picture. And you can open all this stuff by just typing code. And it'll open that up in VS code if that's what you use. So sometimes looking at this stuff can be really helpful. One thing that I always do is check out this last, this last image, especially if I didn't run it with a cool with a, with the headless browser. So I can see that, like we talked about before when we saw the failure, that number two, this is number two, and it really, we were expecting it to be the third item in the history. You can also check out the stack trace, which will tell you that there was a timeout exception in wait for HID visible. So hopefully doing that will be helpful for you. So again, I just want to show you that path it's database testers and then you find the test that failed recently and you can see all of that information. With that. It seems that our Selenium test is done running. We have six past test cases, which is good. That's what we want. What we have to do is write our commit message. And we're done. Selenium test. So I'm going to say get status that brings up the file that I recently changed. Get add this file. Get dash and reverted hide source items to true instead of maybe that's not even quite true. Get status items to original or something along the line. Again, look at the get committer guide to writing the, the galaxy contributors guide for details on how to write a good commit message. And with that, you're done. Selenium tests are in the bag. Thank you.
