Tonight, Hobart played, I mean we played a playoff game and that's what it was. I mean they came out flying from the jump and they got the couple early and I thought we responded to that pretty well and battled back in the first period and got better as the first period went on. And I think that third goal was what kind of turned the tide a little bit and took the wind out of ourselves and proud of them in the third period. The third period we talked about, you know, again we're the foundation. We need to be the first building block and get better from here and they stuck with it and battled with it and I thought we had a decent. Obviously, Hobart took some penalties in the third but we had a decent period. And that's really what we talked about. This is the foundation. Now we know what to expect. There's no more freshmen. Now we know what we're working for and what we're striving for and where we need to be better. I mean, I just, they scored. I mean it wasn't the, it's probably one we should have back and I know Jake would say that he wants it back but that stuff's going to happen and we've got to be able to fight through that but they scored the two quick back to back and then made it 4-1 and I think that took a little bit, I mean that took obviously a lot of energy from us and that's a big hill to climb against these guys. So I'm just, I'm proud of the guys for the amount of work they've put in since day one. They come to the rink every day, have fun, work hard to create a culture of, you know, to create the foundation of the program and that's what our goal was this year. Our goal was to play tonight and we're not happy losing tonight but we get better from here and we move on. I just think the value of the year and so many guys playing, having an opportunity to play and play in roles that, you know, maybe they wouldn't have played in anywhere else so just the experience of the year I think has huge value to all of our guys moving forward and like I kind of said before, now they know, you know, they know what they need to prepare for they know how hard they need to work over the summer and the spring and the fall and now it's, you know, now they know what they're working toward. You know, they came in here in the fall and a lot of them didn't know what to expect. You know, they're coming out of teams or programs where, you know, some of them are the best players and they don't know what to expect in terms of the level. Now they know and they know that, you know, they know we need to get stronger, they know we need to get faster and they've got the time and it's up to them to put in the work to do it.

We are Appalachian Wireless. The city of Weizberg is currently holding their annual Christmas streetlight poll decorating contest. We have about 13 light poles that run up and down Main Street and we just ask those to come out. They call and get an assigned poll and then they decorate it up and light up the town. And then we have outside judges to come in and we do ribbons for first, second and third place. The contest serves as a way to get members of the community out to help bring in the Christmas spirit through the city. Poll decorating will begin on November 24th and must be completed by December 1st. It's really important for everybody just to come together. You know, we had the floods and everybody came together and I think we're just all ready to celebrate. There's a limited number of streetlight polls left. If you would like to reserve a poll or would like more information about the contest, you can call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelcey Fidell.


After observing the world for about 15 years, here is my conclusion. The greatest problem of mankind is that the young lack wisdom and the old lack strength. When we were young we had zeal, physical strength and an open-minded dear life and break grounds. Unfortunately most people lack wisdom when they are young, so those capacities which come with youth are often wasted. When people grow old, they acquire wisdom about life, but there they are age 60, 75 or even 75. They are weak, have more fears and close towards adventures. Here is what you can wish for, the combination of wisdom and strength, which essentially means that if you as a young person seek wisdom, your life will be far better than that of most people. 1. Success is whatever it means to you Today when people say I want to be successful, they often mean that they want to be millionaires. Money is so significant to success that a teenager commented on one of our videos a few days ago that he wanted to become a billionaire. Come on guys, nobody should ever start life by dreaming to become a billionaire. What exactly does being a billionaire mean to a 16 year old? How much money does he think a billion dollars contains? And what in the world does he think he needs such money for? Or may I ask, does he think such money will ever make him the happiest human in the world? Now a lot of people might have abandoned this video, but if you are still here, let me tell you the truth most people don't know. The way the world defines success is dumb.  Success is when you know yourself enough to know what you were created to do and do it. Yes, everyone needs money to pay bills and I strongly advocate that young people should learn how money works so they can have enough of it but money is like oxygen. An everyday human inhales like 11,000 liters of oxygen every day. If for whatever reason you don't have enough oxygen to inhale, that's a big problem. But if you have 1 billion liters of oxygen all around you, your body still won't need more than what you need. That is money. If you don't have enough to cover your basic needs, you're in trouble. But after you have your necessities covered, Ferraris and Rolex watches add nothing to your life. Success to you may be to be a father, be a great father. Success to you may be to save lives by working in a hospital. Do just that. Success to you may be to be a wife, do it. Success to you may be to live in the woods, just do it. Because we all focus on billions, most of us neglect the real thing that ought to make them happy and when we are in our 70s and look back at life, we see that we've done nothing but pursue the wind. 2. Death is better than mediocrity. When I was in secondary school I often saw an old wretched man whenever we're coming from school. This man was so poor that even though my family was poor, I called him poor. Looking at that man I would tell myself, I'd rather die than grow up and become like this man. To me as a young adult I don't think there's much difference between death and mediocrity.   If you're living just like everyone pursuing shadows, well Benjamin Franklin said most people die at 25 but are not buried until 75. Living doesn't mean the same thing as being alive but most people don't know this. They leave all their lives in the fear of death until when they are old and realize that the real death happens when a man agrees to live for food and clothes. When the sense of purpose is lost, life itself is lost. 3. Mistakes are the way we learn. Mark Twain said, 20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade wings in your sails, explore, dream, discover. The human mind is very good at exaggerating negative things so you're likely to think that if you leave the job you hate, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. If you start a business and lost all your money, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. If you follow your dream and it doesn't work, you'll never recover from it. But the opposite is the truth. Failures rarely harm us. In fact, it's the greatest of all teachers. Most humans avoid failures all their lives only for them to be old and look back to see that all those ugly failures they experienced actually taught them great lessons. And if they had tried more things, they would have had far better lives. 4. You're the most important human in the world. I have an interest in memory of one day when I saw one of my classmates with a very expensive phone. I simply couldn't understand why a student would want to buy such a phone when all I wanted was to buy books, to learn about myself and the world. Over the years, I have seen people doing things just for others. We buy cars that we cannot afford simply to get others to think we're fine. We buy phones we cannot afford simply for our friends to think we're up to something. We're leaving homes that are bigger than us simply because that's where the well-to-do guys live and we want to pretend we're one of them.   Why do we sacrifice our future simply because we want others to have good opinions about us today? 5. Happiness comes from relationships, not from things. There's this 80-year study on happiness. The aim of the study was to find out what really makes humans happy. And the finding is surprising. Relationships. Yes, you won't be happy if you wake up this morning and find no food you can eat. No clothes you can wear or your landlord is about to evict you, but you won't be a bit happier if you live in the biggest mansion either. While I advocate that people should fight hard to pursue their life's mission, I advocate that you fulfill a calling. For example, I have a calling that is keeping me from sleep. The more I pursue this calling the more money I have, but I'm not doing it with the hope of being happier if I become a billionaire. I tell you, I won't be a bit happier than I am now, even if Bill Gates gives me all his money.  The better these people are, the more you invest in such relationships, the happier you'll be. Nobody is under deathbed and thinks, I wish I made more money. Instead, a lot of people regret not spending enough time with their kids, their wife and their friends. Success is whatever it means to you. Death is better than mediocrity. Mistakes are the way we learn. You're the most important human in the world. Happiness comes from relationships, not from things. I hope this video helps someone. I love you.

Last night the Cardinals were playing the Padres and Wayno, fountain of youth king, little tuck ever lasting action, having a career year at age 40, spits out the gum, says bring me the young whippersnapper, 22 year old Fernando Tautis. There's a lot of good things going on with the Padres and Cardinals right now and by good things I mean interesting, good for the Cardinals, bad for the Padres. This is the wild card race from the start of the second half of the season, the Padres sitting comfy in that second wild card spot, sitting comfy, sitting comfy.  Let's see what happens. First pitch to Tautis that's high, inside, ball, next pitch, curve ball right down the middle, Wayno's got those for days. Next pitch, curve ball again, right down the middle again just attacking them, says you want to throw another curve ball? No, you want to throw a slider? No, I want to throw outside fastball. Here it comes, Yachty gets ready and bam outside fastball, changes it up a little bit, wants to get back to the curb, he takes a little swing, Machado's on deck, he's taking a little swing, they gotta win this game, they said it was a must win beforehand, that pitch is inside, it counts three and one, Tautis wants to, oh another curve ball, cuz he says strike, this fan says strike, Tautis says I don't know, there that's a strike, that's a nice pitch, that is a Wayno curve ball in there for strike two, now full count, Wayno says let's attack the top of the zone with a fastball, bam gets the call from Phil Cussey and Tautis says are you serious dude? No, look at this, oh you can't really do that, you can't risk getting thrown out when your manager and your teammates say it's a must win game, so Tingler the manager comes out and says that ball is up, cuz he says no, get out of here, he ejects him, there's not really any camera angles about it cuz no one really cares about watching Tingler get ejected these days I guess, Phil Cussey welcome, he's the breakdown king these days, I think he's overthrowing Joe West as the breakdown king, he's in every single video that gets requested out of me, so he gets kicked out, gotta go, meanwhile you can see Tautis in the background here, still frustrated, carrying it with him, wants to do good, the play officer slipping away, his MVP might be slipping away, that batting helmet slipping out of his hands aggressively as it bangs against the bench, the game goes on though, and we're gonna have a base hit here and by base hit I mean double down the line and then Machado steps up, takes a deep breath says what up Phil Cussey how you doing and he says hey tell Tautis not to show me up again, I made that up, I don't know if that conversation happened, I doubt it did, Machado steps into the box, he's gonna take the first pitch and he's gonna pop it out I believe, I believe yeah no okay just a ball on the outside I could have edited that pitch out, sure could have, and he pops this one out, for out number two we're gonna keep things moving, he stays at second base, next batter comes up first pitch out, so now the inning turns over Machado goes back to the dugout and when he walks back to the dugout, he sees the third base coach yelling at Tautis a little bit saying hey we can't have that, we can't have you yelling and screaming so the message is pretty simple there, hey it's not about you it's about the team right now you're the best in the world everybody knows it nobody cares just go play baseball we need you team needs you it's kind of Machado's message could he have said it in a better place in a better situation where we don't have people filming it from the crowd and then people asking questions about it probably did he know is the message good overall yeah is it worrisome that there's like a lack of leadership in the Padres dugout kind of a little bit but overall I think Machado's got the right idea and there's an article written about it Dennis Lynn from the athletics subscribe to the athletic go read the article yourself I pulled out a couple quotes though because I think it shows you the change in manning Machado over the years that he even admits has happened he says I've learned things this was a conversation I had with Britt from the athletic earlier there's a time and place for everything in Baltimore I was young I was just there to play there were other guys that were leaders now obviously it's different guys are looking up to me to lead says I'm old school I want to teach it how I was taught it that's what it's about I messed up a lot of the young age we've seen a lot of those we've know a lot about that he threw his bat at the third baseman one point is ridiculous like a lot of people but you take that and you try to learn from it I'm at the point now where I'll be 30 next year I want to win I just want to win I think we can do that here gonna sneeze that's kind of the crux of everything I mean I think it's pretty normal I think usually this would just happen in the clubhouse and not the dugout but young kid upset about the call teammates trying to say hey we need you to keep your head in the game and not get ejected everyone knows you're good so go be good and help us win this game that's what matters most right now and just think about this fan Joe Yancey sitting in his seats at the game taking this video could have been you you could have used code John boy got $20 off your first order $20 off with promo code John boy click the link in the video and then your Joe Yancey sitting in these seats taking videos going viral


If the mainstream worldview was accurate, Gaza wouldn't be burning. The destruction of Gaza proves the entire mainstream Western worldview is bullshit, because if the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, the destruction of Gaza would not be happening. By the mainstream Western worldview, I mean the general consensus about what's going on in the world, which is prevalent among mainstream Western politicians and pundits, and the creators of mainstream culture in New York and Hollywood. The worldview, which takes it as a given that Western democracy is real, that the U.S. and its allies are basically good actors on the world stage, even if they make mistakes from time to time, that the Western news media pretty much tell the truth about things, or at least the media which align with the mainstream political faction we support, and that the world works pretty much the way we were taught in school. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, the U.S. and its Western allies would not be helping Israel with the rain military explosives upon a walled-in civilian population that's half comprised of children, because the mainstream Western worldview maintains that the U.S. and its Western allies behave in an ethical way, with high regard for human rights and well-being. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, the U.S. and its Western allies would not be assisting Israel while it deliberately starves civilians, because according to the mainstream Western worldview, that kind of collective punishment is a violation of the international law which the U.S. and its Western allies uphold and defend. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, we would not be continually reading stories about how large media outlets like CNN and The New York Times force their staff to slant their coverage in a way that benefits Israeli information interests, because per the mainstream Western worldview, the Western press are reliable sources of information, and propaganda is something that is only used by bad guys like Putin and Kim Jong-un. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, Hollywood and the Western news media would have spent six months united in passionate and consistent condemnation of Israel for its nonstop mass atrocities in Gaza, because the mainstream worldview says we live in a truth-based society guided by ethical institutions. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, we wouldn't see Western officials standing behind podiums justifying the mass slaughter of civilians and denying obvious Israeli war crimes day after day and month after month, because in the mainstream Western worldview, murdering civilians and facilitating war crimes is something that is only done by illiberal, undemocratic countries to the east and the south. If the mainstream Western worldview was accurate, the U.S. and its allies wouldn't have spent this time bombing people in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria who try to fight back in opposition to Israel's genocidal atrocities in Gaza, because the mainstream Western worldview asserts that the U.S. power alliance is an upholder of peace and stability throughout the world. We simply are not seeing what we'd expect to see with regard to Gaza if the mainstream Western worldview was accurate. This is because the mainstream Western worldview is not accurate. It's a false narrative construct that has been carefully assembled inside each of our skulls by the most sophisticated propaganda machine that has ever existed. In reality, we do not live in a truth-based society that is guided by morality and governed by basically decent people. We live in a lie-based society that is guided by greed and the pursuit of power and is governed by unelected sociopaths. We do not live in the kind of world we were taught about in school. We live in a corrupt, mind-controlled dystopia under the thumb of an undeclared, globe-spanning empire which requires more and more violence and tyranny to sustain. Gaza should devastate any part of the mainstream worldview which still exists in your mind, because all the facts we are seeing right in front of our faces squarely contradict that worldview. Changing your worldview is not easy. It takes work. It takes sincerity. It takes a willingness to sit in the discomfort of cognitive dissonance while staring at facts which prove our perspective is misinformed and coming to terms with them. But it's the only way for an individual to come to a truth-based understanding of the world. And one day, it's how we as a collective will move into the creation of a real truth-based society.


Thank you so much for being here with us, Sagru. It's lovely to be here with you again. Yes, and also Horacio de Iglesia. Thank you so much for being with us today. We want to talk about, set the stage a little bit about what we're here to do today. The idea is that the lunar cycle, the moon, can influence people's behavior. This idea dates back thousands of years, but it's been largely dismissed by modern science and medicine. Yet the lunar cycle is clearly impacting cycles like human reproduction. I think it's very accepted that it influences the menstrual cycle and fertility in that way, but there are other behaviors that have also been found to vary depending on the lunar cycle, but that are slightly less believable. Admittance to hospitals and emergency rooms have been shown to vary. Frequency of conditions like heart attacks and stroke and even the social interactions and human behaviors of things like traffic accidents or crime, suicide have all been reported to be correlated with the phase of the moon. Yet whether moonlight or the gravitational forces that accompany this massive space rock and whether it can influence human activity at all remains controversial. So let me make some introductions and then we'll get right into the discussion. My name is David Vago. I am a research associate professor of psychology at the Vanderbilt Brain Institute, Vanderbilt University. I maintain a research appointment at Brigham a Women's Hospital where I collaborate with the Department of Psychiatry and I have more recently become the research lead for Round Blast, a global health and well-being company where I am building research infrastructure and curating evidence-based content. So today we have this opportunity to discuss the wisdom of contemplative traditions that are thousands of years mature, not old, mature and modern science which is providing new evidence describing the relationship between this big rock in the sky and our planet earth. So we're going to have this dialogue how historical yoga sutras and philosophy describe the relationship between these two planetary orbs and how they influence each other also from the perspective of modern science and it turns out that there is evidence indeed that the moon can influence aspects of our mood or decision-making and our behaviors and so over the next hour I will try to moderate a discussion while I introduce some of the science from contemporary sources from the research lab of Dr. Delia Glacia and from the wisdom of contemplative traditions like yoga that Sadhguru will share with us. So just to give you a sense of who is speaking today, Dr. Horacio Delia Glacia finished his undergraduate studies in biology at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. He got his PhD in neuroscience and behavior at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst where he studied the neuroanatomy of the master circadian clock of animals and the brain centers that control reproduction and the interactions between the anatomy and reproduction. He then continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and later joined the University of Washington in the Department of Biology in 2003. His laboratory is interested in understanding how the neural systems encode time and generate rhythmic physiological and behavioral outputs to adapt to the temporal structure of our environment. We are going to only have an hour together today because Horacio will be receiving a prestigious award from your... Oh, congratulations. Ministry of Science and Technology are acknowledging him and his work so we will have to say goodbye a little early but we're so excited to have you with us. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Delia Glacia. Thank you, David and Saguru for having me. And while Dr. Delia Glacia raises the volume, I'm just going to introduce Saguru, a man who really doesn't need much introduction but he is a yogi, a mystic, a visionary named one of India's 50 most influential people. Saguru's work has touched the lives of millions worldwide through his transformational programs. Saguru has a unique ability to make the ancient yoga science relevant to contemporary minds. He's an internationally renowned speaker. He engages with scientists fairly often and has been an influential voice at major global forums including the United Nations and the World Economic Forum addressing issues as diverse as socio-economic development, leadership and spirituality. He's been invited to speak at leading educational institutions including Oxford, London Business School, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, all the big institution. So we're really fortunate to have this group of people today and I will do my best to moderate the discussion. So thank you, Saguru, for being here and being with us today. Thank you on a day like this when you're having an award, having this conversation wonderful and congratulations once again. I thought I'd start the conversation off with a from a paper that Dr. Dela Garcia recently wrote about synchronization of human sleep with the moon cycle under different conditions. And he says in the introduction and I will read that and then I'd love to hear your comments. Moonlight is so bright to the human eye that it's entirely reasonable to imagine that in the absence of other sources of light this source of nocturnal light could have had a role in modulating human nocturnal activity and sleep. However, whether the moon cycle can modulate human nocturnal activity and sleep really at all remains a matter of controversy. I thought maybe you could tell us a little bit more about what is this controversy? Why is it not clear? Yeah, so it turns out that there have been some studies looking at sleep recordings from sleep laboratories in which they had found an effect of the lunar cycle on the electrophilographic recordings of sleep. However, you know, that was a retrospective analysis of sleep stages in people that happened to be in the sleep lab at different times of the lunar cycle. So it wasn't what we call a longitudinal study of the same individuals throughout the lunar cycle. And there was controversy because other studies emerged that said, well, this is not a real effect. And the jury was still out in terms of whether the moon faces could really modulate sleep. And I guess what our study added to that is that we did exactly that. We followed single individuals for at least one month and up to two months recording their sleep, at least their sleep timing. And that allowed us to really answer the question of whether sleep was modulated by moon faces at the single person or individual level. Okay. And in fact, we found that it did. So I think the controversy was around the fact that the studies had not been designed to detect this. That's fascinating. So how do you know it's not the light itself of the moon coming into the remote? Okay. So we started, you know, when we started these studies, I've been studying sleep in indigenous communities in Argentina for over almost nine years now. And I remember one day I was chatting with Miguelito, one of the leaders of the families.  And I went swimming in the river with my wife. And I thought, wow, that's interesting. So he asked him, well, what else goes on on moonlit nights? And he was full of stories, right? Moonlit nights were nights for fishing, for hunting, for social activity, for more sexual activity. And I thought, wow, that's fascinating. Let's see whether we can capture this by measuring sleep. And that's how the story started, right? So in these communities, we still have single communities that have no access to electricity whatsoever. So we started with the idea that if we did find an effect, it would be present only in the communities that did not have artificial light, right? Because we thought, well, there you can, you really can take advantage of the moonlight because you have no other sources, right? For, of nocturnal light. But we started looking at the data and we found the effect, not only in the communities that had no electricity, but also in the communities that had 247 access to electricity. And even in some communities that live in a relatively urbanized area of Northern Argentina. So we thought, oh, that's, that's really interesting, right? That the effect persists, even if people have the ability to control whenever the lights are on in the evening. And that was followed by yet another study that we did here in Seattle, where I live currently, where we studied university students, and we saw the same effect of the lunar cycle. And these are students that are very much unaware of what moon phase they're going through. So it's not like they're looking at the moon and say, oh, this is full moon or new moon. And therefore they are responding to to the lunar light, right? To the moonlight. In fact, light pollution in Seattle is way above the levels of full moonlight intensity. So they could not be responding to to moonlight itself. So that's why we're currently thinking and trying to start testing the hypothesis that maybe other physical changes associated with the lunar cycle may modify our sensitivity to light. And that light could be moonlight if you're living in a natural environment, or artificial light if you live in an environment where you can switch it on and off. So that's the general idea that I have now in mind. It's so fascinating that that so you're saying that the controversy has been whether or not the moon can influence sleep, right? And that's the country. Yes. And your your research has shown, definitively, that at least in Argentinians and in students at University of Washington, maybe, yes, that the cycle may actually have an influence on how we're sensitive to light. And the light may be the mechanism by which it's influencing how the efficiency in which we sleep. But the gravitational force may also have some sort of implication. I'm wondering if you could tell us a little bit about how there's a mass, right, that the moon carries and a mass of the Earth carries, and that all objects have a mass and carries some force. Is there something related to the the force by the just the mass of the two objects that is causing a change in human physiology? Well, you know, we're all familiar with tides, right? And actually, we pay attention to to tidal levels. It turns out that every 15 days, right, around the time of full moon and around the time of new moon, those tides get maximally high and maximum low. So it's what we call the spring tides. So they are the and the reason for that is that on those on those days, the moon, the sun and the Earth are aligned on the same axis. So the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon are added. And you experience maximally high daily tides. There's so far no evidence whatsoever that humans can detect those changes in gravity, right? I mean, we still don't have that. We love to have that, right? But on the other hand, there's no other we don't have at hand any other way to explain why in a place like Seattle, right, where you have no ability to sense the moonlight, you can still respond to the cycle of the moon in that way. So our idea is that on the nights previous to the full moon, because what's interesting is that what we found is that sleep starts later and is shorter on the few nights leading to the full moon, not around the full moon, but on the nights, you know, the shortest sleep duration takes place three to five days before the full moon. And it's what's interesting about those nights is that those are the nights in which moonlight is available at the end of the day. So it's available in the late evening and early night. And if you think about the utility of moonlight, right, in terms of our, you know, ancestors that were, you know, hunter-gatherers, it's interesting to think that in fact, it's much more useful to extend the daytime activity with the moonlight, right, than wake up in the middle of the night by the effect of the moonlight. In other words, if the moonlight comes out at 3 a.m., you're probably already fast asleep and you will not respond to that, you will not wake up. However, if you're planning to go to bed around 8 p.m. in the evening and you suddenly see this bright source of light, you may actually stay up and continue whatever you're doing. And it's interesting because that's exactly what we do nowadays with our artificial light. Whenever you use artificial light to advance the activity of the morning, we typically use it to extend the evening activity. So we think that in a way, artificial light has tapped into this ancestral effect of the moon on our sleep. But going back to your question of gravity, so the only explanation that we have so far is that probably that perception of gravity makes you more sensitive to that effect of evening light on keeping you awake. But the data is not clear, right? How gravity can... No, no, because we still, you know, as far as we know, there's no physiological data that shows that humans can respond to the subtle changes in gravity because, you know, they're not huge changes. And of course, animals that live in the intertidal zone, right, that are very well adapted to the tides, their whole life is very much in synchrony with these tides, right? But so far, nobody has been able to show that humans could respond to these gravity changes. So maybe, Satguru, you could provide some light from the yogic perspective. Clearly, there's a large history of descriptions of how the moon can influence our physiology. But there's no evidence from modern science to show that gravity, at least gravity, specifically the forces that bring two masses together can influence how our body and mind function. So I'm really curious about what the Hindu scriptures will say and how it can maybe motivate, inspire some more research. Namaskaram. Sivan, from the yogic perspective, if you look at it, one important arm of yoga, which is called as hatha yoga, simply means haa means the sun, thaa means the moon. Hatha means to bring a balance between these two forces. So essentially, approximately seven to eight planets and the moon and the sun together have a significant influence on the making of life on this planet. This is how it is seen. In this, the sun, moon and the planet has the maximum impact. Well, as well the male population may be confused about it, I think the female population in the world, human population, has always been very much in sync with the cycles of the moon and that's the basis of our birth and our existence right now. But apart from that, we do not see moon as, what to say, just having some gravitational impact on us in its extra reflected light like this. We see moon as the basic element which holds earth in its trajectory of rotation or the revolution around the sun. In the yogic sciences, we see that I think today modern sciences are confirming this that, you know, the moon as a satellite is moving away about twenty millimeters every year and when it moves beyond a certain point, it will start its impact on the life on this planet will recede. Out of that, human reproductive cycles will go off the… see it's normal cycle and that is how humanity will end. That is how human beings will slowly go away. But above all, if the moon goes away, which inevitably it is supposed to do after many million or billion years, whatever that is, when it goes away, we see that the earth cannot hold its track of revolution around the sun. It will lose its balance and it will also break up into pieces. This is how the yogic system looks at it, about its impact on our daily life. Well, I'm sure you are aware of this. India uses largely the Hindu calendar is either a lunar calendar in some parts of the country, wherever there is matriarchy, there there will be lunar calendar, wherever there is patriarchy, there there is what is called as luni solar calendar, which is a combination of lunar cycles and solar cycles. Why this calendar is important is, see today we are looking at calendar as just a number game of measuring how many days in a month, how many days in a year or how many years in our life like this. Here we are not looking at calendar as just a numerical record of things, but we are looking at it as how we experience the calendar within ourselves, how the body responds to it at different times. Our callingly various traditions, practices, rituals were crafted so that in those times you can make the best use of what is around you in the form of earth's energy, in the form of earth's trajectory, how it is moving, how it's northern face of the earth, where it is pointed towards, its closeness to the sun, all these things are taken into effect as to what sort of practices you do. When I say hatha yoga, this sun and moon, well this 4,356 days is considered as one solar cycle. This is segmented in different ways for different people, for householders it's segmented one way, for the yogis it's segmented different ways, for the ascetics one way and people who are into regular worldly life another way because their bodies are tuned and they need to function differently. Accordingly the calendar is used depending upon the moon faces and the the planets position in relation to the sun. Well as we know the moon is constantly showing only one face to us, it is its rotation is synchronized with planet's rotation so we're seeing only one face of the moon. This also is significant because the way the moon responds or the way the planet responds to the moon, there are very wonderful stories how they're always looking at each other, the moon never turns its back upon the planet. The day moon turns its back on us we are finished. You know in case the moon turns its back on us that means human reproductive system will go away and it's over that means when the moon's rotation goes beyond a certain certain radii or certain circumference rather then it will start showing the other face to you when it shows the other face that means the end of humanity has come in a few years it will go down. So what impact it has on a daily basis? Well it is not the moon light alone, it is a whole today people are talking in scientific terms of electrical chargers, electromagnetic impact and other things. Well I don't want to talk about it that I'm not an expert in that but in the yogic system we have a lot of significance to full moon and new moon days because those two days there are different types of practices we do. Assetics usually do practices during new moon days, people in the family way of life, they will do all their practices during the full moon night because the impact is very different. There are variety of devices that we created at one time where you know like through the full moon night how to expose your spine to the moon not allowing the moon to fall on the other parts of the body, a device so that an arrow crack which allows moon light to fall only upon your spine and how it reorganizes your system. Three moon full moon nights like that could completely reorganize your system from ill health to health, from foreign women it was seen as from baroness to fertility and various other aspects and also in the mystical world various levels of perception were always you know connected with the moon.  Well today in terms of medical terms you I mean the doctors you must translate this but I'm saying in medical terms we may see it as there is a certain level of neurological stimulus. When I say neurological stimulus why I'm talking about this is see as in the evolutionary process of life on this planet of all the things we are not the strongest creature on this planet but we have the most complex and sophisticated neurological system that's what renders us as really on top of the pile of the evolutionary system. So this neurological development is the most significant aspect of who we are and the neurological development of the human being and how stimulated it is and how active activities and how balanced it is is in many ways directly related to the faces of the moon and there are very many ways in which people can make use of it to handle their various mental fluctuations and sloshings that they have you know many human beings go into tides themselves within their system because the whole oceans are going up but seventy-two percent of our body is also water so there is fluctuation in the system it is just that generally I know there are some studies saying on this day people tend to become more imbalanced or those who have anxiety and manic depressions go off control this kind of things I would like to say the moon is not causing madness I'm saying this so that moon is liberated from this word lunar means if you say loony people think you're mad all right so moon does not cause madness moon just pushes up your energy in a certain way if your quality is joy you will become more joyful if your quality is love you will become more loving if you are meditative you will become more meditative if you have mental illnesses that also gets enhanced whatever is your quality gets enhanced because of full moon it is not causing any one particular quality in us it definitely does not bring about madness it is just that it enhances who you are on that day whatever is your quality finds a larger manifestation because of that maybe in the medical institutions mental and other kinds of institutions people may find some kind of exaggeration on those days well thank you for that that that so that there's clear description of yoga's influence or at least the influence of the moon the relationship between the moon and human physiology is clear in in yoga philosophy right and so and almost even more intimately connected into our everyday lives than we would ever think right most of our at least in north american culture most people will hardly recognize that there's a moon outside thanks no that's because they went to the moon you're right that's a problem maybe when you're traveling to the moon it's like a i don't know it's for for for leisure it'll be more in its mind which is the importance of it but you you also mentioned in your writings that practices from the yogic tradition that specifically are meant for maybe spiritual practices tying your behaviors on this planet if your spiritual practice how can a spiritual practice on this planet be influenced by a rock in the sky up there is that really a possibility and if so how is it interacting with your physiology at least from the yogic perspective right there's 11 day cycles where there's fasting it's related to that kind of practice of doing working with you know your your gut so i'm really curious about how that it relates to a spiritual experiences well uh david we are all all this life including you and me are living on a rock here which we call as planet earth isn't it it's just a rock for somebody else who is looking at us from elsewhere so about how it influences i i do not know what is the direction of studies which are going on but i think from what i have heard from people people are largely trying to measure changes in the brain activity and stuff like that but it would be helpful because from my experience i know that the maximum amount of change happens in your belly in this region which you call as the gut because that is where the real change happens and it has consequences in the brain and the rest of the body so one important aspect of taking in the moon there are practices in yoga where you can live like every day in your experience it's like full moon the same full moon impact is on in your body on a daily basis there's a whole lot of practices like that so we say this is a somebody has become like an eternal moon within himself that he's like a full moon always because certain things can be done in the system the impact that the full moon has on various aspects of your body the cellular behavior in the system this can be replicated on a daily basis simply by activating this dimension well to give some background to that see who we are as life is a consequence of how this planet functions the how this planet functions is a consequence of its position in the solar system and definitely the sun is a major powerhouse which fires everything and the moon which is a satellite by our understanding but it has a significant impact on the production of life on this planet so what kind of life we are is essentially determined by these two aspects sun and moon playing their influence upon the planet at various levels there are other planets which have influences on you but their impact is much lower and they are significant only to certain people not for everybody but fundamentally sun moon and the planet are the three celestial objects these celestial objects moon there is so much romance about moon david just killed it saying that it's just a rock in the sky so many people have fallen in love on that David David now you just made the rock in the sky why is this rock so so special you know compared to you know other stars in the sky it is close so we see it we engage with it a little bit more but is there something unique about the moon itself or is it really just a you know just an organic sort of artifact of the of this influence of two massive rocks influence it is not that the rocks it is not the influence of the rock upon us it is not the content or the mineral content of the rock which is making the difference maybe that also could be making but essentially it is a geometric placement of the moon in relation to the planet that it's making the difference for example you know the there are numbers like this I am not very good with mathematics but let me tell you something the distance between planet earth and and moon and the distance between planet earth and sun is 108 times more and the diameter is similarly 108 times more there's a geometric proportion to this you can look it up I am not very good with these numbers but essentially there is a geometric relationship which is more important that's why I was telling you as the circumference increases its influence will decrease and about 3700 years ago a certain yogi made a calculation that in 28000 years time the influence of moon upon the planet will become so feeble and slowly the moon will start turning its back upon you that is when human race will go down well now about 3700 years are gone so we still have 24300 years according to that calculation so as this 20 millimeter excess of the radius that is happening year on year which has been confirmed by scientific scientific measurements if this continues for another 28 years or 28000 years or so then they say the influence of moon will become so minimal on the planet that it may not be able to help us to regenerate so this regeneration process is not in the brain it is in this region which is very important so the influence of the moon maximum is on your gut so this is the reason on in India there is a whole tradition on full moon day how you should eat on a new moon day how you should eat for every face of the moon how you should eat on that day in terms both in terms of quality of food and the quantity of food what you should do so that you can get maximum benefit of the moon face of that time so one important thing is in India this was the practice traditionally in the Hindu calendar that for all activity that we are doing the there were no weekly holidays there was three days break for full moon and two days break for new moon but there was no Sunday Monday kind of holidays so now we've just come to this because these numbers are easy to calculate you don't have to look up at the sky as you said most people who live in cities don't even know there is a moon that exists they only read about it somewhere they've never looked up in the sky at least every month they're not looking up definitely not every day even the full moon nights they're missing it completely because the lights are all bright and blazing so where will they ever like professor or has suggested that you know the the light pollution in Seattle city is much more than the moon so where will they notice it they will not notice it unless they're out in the open somewhere generally people notice it if they're in the wild or especially if they're on the ocean then you cannot ignore the moon you understand what kind of significance it has today all our you know marine vessels are powered otherwise in ancient times tides and mariners are like you know inseparable there is no way so their full moon new moon and their expeditions were so very connected it definitely has more impact than just causing minor differences where we were talking about how the sleep quality changes i would like to see that scientists like you focus on how our life quality changes with the moon faces how our wakefulness changes why are we talking about sleep because i see there is a kind of a fetish about sleep in this country to sleep well to sleep well not to live well is more important than to sleep well if you live well you will sleep well that's a really good point harassing comment on some of what sagru has been alluding to at least from the from not only from the yogic scriptures of a more intimate relationship that humans have with the moon on a daily basis they different behaviors of fasting of how they you know bring in food depending on the phases do you see the phases of the moon influencing any other aspect of human physiology in your research so um well other than than you know corona activity and sleep there have been several reports particularly in relation to mental health right and and and this is really interesting because of what sagru was saying that any character that you have will be enhanced at given phases so the moon cycle right and of course if you think for instance of about a psychotic patient right um if you think about our sleep wake cycles right that are modulated by the moon cycle then if you are going to stay up later on the nights that are leading to the full moon then you'd have more of an opportunity to exceed your psychotic symptoms right and this could be perceived by other people as an enhancement of the psychotic symptoms but it turns out that there's some literature that really suggests that there may be a real enhancement of those symptoms and this is particularly in bipolar patients that um you know I don't know to what extent the audience knows about this but bipolar patients are characterized by the cycling between depressive and manic states right and it turns out that it's very well characterized that you know bipolar patients if you shorten the sleep whether spontaneously or you you you force this for environmental influences they will get more manic whereas if you lengthen sleep that's associated with more depressive symptoms and it turns out that there's been several publications showing that bipolar patients had a very striking synchronization some bipolar patients right um with the moon phases and in turn that seems to be related with symptom with symptoms of the disease and this this would make sense right if you're going to shorten your sleep around the nights before the new moon that sorry before the full moon that could lead to more manic expression of the disease whereas if you're going to lengthen it before the new moon that could lead to um to more depressive symptoms of the of the disease um you know what I I find really fascinating um this idea that that you know any any um any personal character that you have you know will be enhanced by the moon cycle and I I guess you know one one question that I was thinking about is is there any is there something special about the nights leading to the full moon in terms of preparation for that night of a full moon in the in the yoga culture right because that's when we find that main effect right that that sleep is more severely affected on the nights previous to the full moon not on the night of the full moon itself so I wonder whether there are some practices that are associated with those nights specifically right or or with those days in general um so anyway I don't know if I answer your question David but but uh well yeah no this is it it's you're alluding to this uh the question really is still unknown how and as I proposed the question how how does the moon really influence you know behavior we don't really understand that at least the gravitational mechanism the light sensitivity one's interesting in the sense that so you said that the light that's produced by the moon is not even as bright as the the pollution you get from the city yeah so why would you be more sensitive to that light even through another mechanism like the gravitational force yeah yeah of course we don't we don't know what the mechanism is but but it's it's a fascinating question and it it goes back to um what Satguru is saying that yes we live in an environment where we're completely unaware of what the moon is doing in terms of the lunar month right but yet you know there may be inescapable influences of the moon on our physiology right that even if you live in a completely isolated built environment with thick curtains you know turning the artificial light whenever you want you may still be under that influence and that's suggested by our research in these highly organized environments like Seattle that's that's fascinating so I was involved in some research actually a Brigham Owens hospital that looked at circadian rhythms and Charles Sizler who is one of the world renowned experts in this area he showed that you can you can use a light cue as small as a spot of light maybe the size of a nickel on the back of your knee to actually influence your circadian rhythm to to change the rhythm so if light that small actually yeah you know I think that the the story on the the light on the back of the knee was finally not it was it wasn't from Chuck Sizler's lab but but I think that didn't eventually hold that story was from another lab but in any case but yeah but but I guess the point which is very important is that very dim light can influence your circadian system and with much dimmer than we used to think about and a question would be do you think that the spectrum of light from the moon is something unique compared to say other you know artificial light so you know it likely is but we don't think that that's probably how that was probably the the most important if you want throughout evolution the most important selective pressure for nocturnal activity again going back to our ancestors right if you think about somebody living in Europe 30 000 years ago where you know throughout the fall that the days are getting shorter and shorter and you need to gather food for the whole winter well you know any extra little bit of light that you could get in the evening you take advantage of it right if you think from that perspective that that must have been a tremendous influence and you know we have the the latest records indicates that we have 300 000 years of human evolution on earth right that effect of the moon has been there for 300 000 years and and it's to me it's almost entwitted that there may have been selective pressures from the moon throughout evolution to actually influence our physiology right is there is there anything from the sciences to suggest that because that's what's i grew was was alluding to also was that the moon is shifting on its axis and so is you know so is our magnetic poles and we know that that is also influencing um rhythms uh biologically and um you know on earth seasonally so i'm wondering it from your perspective do you see any any changes maybe over the last 30 years or so since you started doing this work uh and how the moons change in its spatial orientation is maybe influencing no not that i know and and and i think 30 years would probably be very short you know if we think about the timeline that said we were was talking about we're talking about almost 30 000 years right so half a lifetime probably will not capture that right but but you know at least as far as i know i i don't know of any studies that can look at that specifically but do you see an um a cautious kind of uh interpretation of of what's happening with uh you know in astronomy like how these how the moon is actually shifting is going to affect um maybe some of the work that you're doing in circadian well i guess you know eventually if the the moon cycle changes in its period right we should expect that our response to it will also change accordingly right um you know even even if it is small changes that would be a prediction that that could be tested but again i don't know how um how big those differences will be you know in in our testable life right i mean at least in my life i don't think i'll i'll see those changes that that i understood that that's probably well said i i would ask though given our limited amount of time together that segura had alluded also to the the the relationship of mysticism or spirituality and the moon with humans and i know you've done some work with animals um and melatonin i'm wondering if you could you know in in the best way possible to summarize that work and i only bring it up because melatonin is this precursor to um uh it was a dimethyl tryptamine which is a psychedelic as produced in the in the pineal gland and it has all these implications for mysticism so i'm wondering if if you could talk a little bit about some of the work you've seen in that yeah so you know we've done some studies in in animals and one study specifically where we studied the moon cycle in animals is with um monkeys monkeys that are actually nocturnal which are very rare they live throughout south america this is the only genus of monkeys that are truly nocturnal and amazingly you know these animals are heavily dependent on the lunar cycle right so it's kind of going back to what segura was saying that you know people that are connected with nature are very well aware right of what the moon does to them and how they depend on the moon even for agriculture you know i mean people are timing when they plant on the and when they collect based on lunar cycles um well for animals it's even more and i don't think there's probably any any single species that lives in a while that is not somehow connected in its sleep and and and circadian ethnicity with the lunar cycle right it would be very unlikely that that's the case um i'm talking about animals right um i guess going to melatonin melatonin of course is this this amazing signal for the brain of where your biological night is and one of the things that we're trying to determine now is where the the lunar phase has the ability of changing that biological night signal which is melatonin melatonin is the most important signal for the brain in terms of when is it that it's a biological night right um and we think that maybe one of the mechanisms by which the moon may change the timing of your sleep is by changing that that nocturnal signal right that marks the beginning of the night but there's still no evidence neither from from animal models nor from human models who are kind of moving towards that in the next phases of these these studies but melatonin in general is a um you know as produced by the pineal gland could you be comment on it's controversial in the sense that it's been thought of as like a mystical chemical yeah you know i i i don't know how strong that that evidence is i you know it's clearly you know an extreme important signal for the brain to know where your night your internal night is and of course you know part of the problem is that artificial light can acutely inhibit the release of melatonin so we are every single day we're tampering with that natural nocturnal signal signal by by getting exposed to even very deep levels of light you know the light that you use to read a book next year you know next to your bed is sufficient to inhibit melatonin so we're always sending the brain the signal that the night has not started when in fact it has right yeah that's that's very helpful just to give a sense of of how you know the body has this internal endogenous clock right that helps keep our time within the same period of this periodicity of a day right day yes hours but our natural rhythm is around 25 hours right yes yeah exactly and then there's this chemical in the brain that's released from you know what Descartes referred to as the seat of the soul and yes the Egyptians you know referred to as the the eye of Boris the only unilateral structure in the brain is in the brain then it seems like a very interesting structure and it's been implicated in well mystical states only because it has there is some limited data like Horacio is alluding to that if the state is not very convincing but it is a it is the data that does exist it shows that it's a precursor to a chemical that's naturally occurring in the brain and is a DMT it's a it's a psychedelic that's used for very short intense psychedelic experiences and so that's why I was thinking with said guru you've been referring to the moon and and working with the moment the the the cycle of the moon specifically for spiritual purposes you have shown Horacio that that birds have daily variations in melatonin that disappear on full moon days is that right is that no no that's not my work okay but I was actually not aware of that well there is some data that's showing that the flux okay melatonin vary on the on the lunar cycle is that something that you have observed in your work not not yet no and we are actually gearing to do those experiments those studies in in human subjects but we need to do that under laboratory conditions because of the fact that humans are very bad at exposing themselves to artificial light and erasing the natural signal of the night which is melatonin so in order to capture that you need to put them in a lab where they remain very relaxed and they're very dim light and then then you can really see where is the natural melatonin signal sitting at David the thing is see in the yogic system there are simple processes with which particularly on full moon nights where you can get totally stoned out just on moonlight there are processes to do that and as you can see I don't know what the DMT is you can see I am on it all the time no substance from outside it's from within it is in some way on one level in the physiological level the significance of yoga is to stay in tune with the sun and moon cycles in relation to the planet that is the only way this life can be in balance and with least amount of friction within itself because then the life's experience as I mean whatever the chemicals you're discussing serotonin melatonin all this stuff essentially you're saying chemistry determines the nature of your experience of life itself so to maintain that chemistry which is always blissful and ecstatic moon and being aligned with the moon is a very important part of it so there are various practices associated with that one thing I would like to request professor Horace is if they can invest a certain amount of attention towards what is happening in the gut with the full moon new moon I think it may be far more easily measurable than what is happening in the brain because what is happening in the brain we see it only as a consequence the real thing is happening in the gut you may see certain effects in the brain what is a consequence is one thing but the process the changes that are happening within the gut region is very big and it is probably more easily measurable in in my limited understanding of science I am saying because what is happening is there more solid kind of stuff it is more tangible that maybe it is more easily measurable than what's happening in the brain yeah that's a great idea and there's a lot of research emerging on the importance of the gut not just in general in general physiology and neuroscience but particularly in circadian rhythm so and it is there are definitely some physiological outputs that we can look at in our study so that's a great suggestion well I think there are implications for this work and this kind of dialogue and collaboration is really great we are limited in our time to get it today so in in closing are there any reflections that you want to reflect upon at this at this time Horacio maybe we could start with you and then we can end with some group well I guess you know the main reflection is that we tend to think that we humans are very good at isolating ourselves from nature and I think our research clearly shows that there are some aspects of natures that that are unavoidable right like for instance maybe we're all all under the influence of the moon even when we're not paying any attention to it so that that'll be my message too thank you for that yeah that clearly there's things happening in our environment that we're not aware of right that we don't register in our sensory stores but that have very strong influence on us and they only manifest or we only see it when you know for you for example in a female reproductive system has a very clear rhythm to it and when there's one rhythm in one by a lot one biological system and another rhythm in a you know very strong physical system they're going to influence each other so that makes a total intuitive sense said guru please I'd love to hear what I think I think all of the audience would love to hear your reflections on how you think we scientists continue to work with yogis and yogi philosophy to better understand the influence of moon on on behavior and moon say I mean I'm not with all due respect I'm saying this see there are many instruments which are being used to analyze this data or that you gather but well it's at least in my perception it is well established the most sophisticated instrument on this planet is the human mechanism itself so what is happening in the human mechanism to measure that do we have instruments which are sophisticated enough to what's happening there so why can't we do experiments where people who are in different at least at a certain level of sadhana their body itself is treated as an instrument of measurement what is happening there not necessarily taking their blood samples or neurological impulses and saying this and that yes that is important at one level but I'm saying beyond that why don't we prepare people who the very body can be treated as an instrument what it is saying that is more important because ultimately that is human experience also so if we want this the efforts of scientists to become a practical implementable process I think if we I know this may be deflecting or deviating from how science has been till now but I feel a time has come for that because in the modern sciences they're clearly clearly recognized there cannot be another gadget on this planet which is more sensitive more sophisticated than human body itself so how to use that if scientists can arrive at that I think what is going at a snail space could leaps could go leaps and bounds and this generation could benefit not some other future generation that's a great idea so so now and I apologize for having to leave early but I really need to go to that thank you Dr thank you very much everybody and it's been a great experience to to hear you Sadhguru and all your with some ideas you know I already have at least a couple of ideas that are that may actually change how we go over our studies so thanks a lot. Namaskaram thank you very much. Thank you so much both of you for participating today and thank you all for listening and participating wherever you may be may the moon have good influences on you all. Thanks a lot David. Thank you very much and don't call it a rock. Okay. Namaskaram. Namaskaram.


The musketeers know that DePaul wants to go inside and out. Nice! Oh, Tyreek Jones! The gamble didn't pay off for Buntz. And that's where Xavier's at their best. Struse driving. There were four musketeers on him defensively. Marshall comes away with a loose ball, and here comes Xavier. Three on two. Wellage, smart pull-up. And he knocks down the triple. He's made three in this game. Again, Gooden nearly came away with a steal. Struse buries the three. His first three of the afternoon. Sixth all-time scorer in San Jose State history, over 1,200 points. But underneath, chance for a three-point play. His career day continues. Stagging off of him. You're not going to guard him at the three-point line. Kane is fouled in a chance for a three-point play. The senior, he lags. Embrace the moment. And when the moment comes, you've got to step up to the challenge. Eli Kane, and going the other way, shrugs. Bad possession. Look, Femi was wide open down on the short corner. Went out to the three. That's not your game. Play, first shot of the game. Paul Reed trying to check in as well. He too has four fouls. He's had a heck of an afternoon. Marshall, three-ball. Najee Marshall. Remember when I said you got to force him to make shots from distance? No possible way for them to win. He's done a great job of playing through fouls and tiredness. Wide open. Now, it's down to shot. Paul Scruggs. Boom. Seven to shoot. Gooden, driving. Stripped away by Gage. Great defense by Gage.  Stripped it away. And Jones with another flush. That might do it for Xavier. The shoulders are going for Tyreek. After Gage has stolen the ball. And it looked like the ball was going to get his stop. Jones took it right back.


All right, before I talk about what you're already seeing on screen right now, a bunch of new physical rewards regarding Mario, a whole bunch of crazy stuff. We're actually having another giveaway happening right now. We have two giveaways already going on, but we're going to start a third that's going to run here for about a month and a half through November. And that is for two copies of Super Mario 3D World Plus Bowser's Fury to enter. You have to comment on this video, like this video, subscribe to the channel, hit the bell icon. You get additional entries for joining our Discord server, following on Twitch, subbing on Twitch, all of that jazz. There'll be links to all this down in the description. Also we have two other giveaways going on, one for a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X or a Nintendo Switch. There's a link down in the description to enter for that. We also have another giveaway for two copies of Pikmin 3 Deluxe. So get that right, three giveaways going on, two of them that run through November, one that ends at the end of this month. I wish everyone luck, I know it's a lot to keep track of, but we're going to make it work. Alright, so what you're seeing on screen right now is a look at some brand new physical rewards that just launched. And hopefully this goes better than the Mario pin set. I know there's a lot of people still upset that they couldn't get their hands on that but I don't even think that's on here anymore. So yeah, I mean even these things are out of stock and might never get restocked from Xenoblade and Animal Crossing these key chains. But you'll see here first off we got the Mario Kart Home Circuit Racer ID holder. This is cool because this launches today actually, or tomorrow I believe, 800 Platinum points. It's still lanyard where you can put your name on it and it's like an ID badge. Kind of cool. But this is like really cool. So Super Mario 3D All Stars, you can get a set of three posters. Now they do know that the frames do not come with it so they're obviously you're just going to get the posters. It looks like the code expires on November 30th, limited time only while supplies last, limited one per Nintendo account, all that jazz, 800 Platinum. Not only have 70s so I won't be getting it, unfortunately I don't have enough Platinum points. We also have a Super Mario Zipper case. So nothing special here. It's just like a little tiny zipper case with headphones in it. You can put switch cartridges in it. All that jazz. This is obviously a new item as well. Mario themed, you know how it goes, 35th anniversary. We have some new Paper Mario, the Origami King stuff as well. So this looks like it is like a card set of sorts with like, or maybe it's a sticker set. I don't think maybe it's a sticker set looking at this now. Doesn't really give a ton of details on it. I guess if you scroll down here you can see some extra details. So Paper Crafted, Adventure Unfolded, Nintendo Switched to Paper, Mario Series with Origami Twist. Oh so these are like little origami things, that's cool. So yeah, as I'm going through all this, you know we have a postcard set here as well for Paper Mario the Origami King that you can pick up for 300 points. I think it's just interesting to see Nintendo do these physical awards. This is one thing that was a big deal with Club Nintendo back in the day. A lot of people really enjoyed physical awards and then they went away. Like they did some really cool ones. We used to be able to get statues and all sorts of crazy stuff. That is not the case anymore. We don't get that kind of stuff. But we are getting some physical awards and I think some is better than none. It's interesting that it's with the Platinum award, it's not with the Gold points because the Gold points are for purchasing. The Platinum is for actually doing things in games. So I find that to be extremely interesting that they went that route with this. But I'm just happy that we even have this as an option. These posters here just look fantastic. I would love to have them. They look like they're kind of mini posters but I would take those and frame them and put them on my wall any day. Heck, someone wants to get them for me, let me know because I really want to add these to my collection. I'm actually curious what else Nintendo is going to be adding to this. Obviously with the Mario 35th anniversary we're getting a lot of Mario stuff right now. But I actually want to see, are we going to get something special next month for Age of Calamity or for the 35th anniversary? Here you see some headphones and some Switch cartridges just kind of being tossed and I don't know if that's the best way to store Switch cartridges. But hey, it's something at least. But yeah, honestly, physical awards are back. And physical awards need to remain. They need to be something that we keep around. I know that Nintendo doesn't have a traditional achievement system even though this is kind of like an achievement system. In fact, let's just go, how do you even earn points, right? So if I go to my points here, you'll see I got 70 or whatever. But if you go out to my Nintendo, we'll just talk about how you even earn these points. I'll say you want to earn some points here, right?  These are mobile points that you can't really use that much, to be completely honest. Mario rum, but then here we get into the Platinum points. And as you can see, like, you know, find the first hidden Poochee pup on Yoshi's Crafted World. Boom, that's 50, right? You know, these are literally like achievements. Like find the second, find the third. Now, these are the ones that I can do based on games that I already own. As you can see, I've already done all of these ones. Sign up to the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and 3DS. You can get that every week, apparently.  Here's one where I could take the Super Mario quiz, I guess. I could do that. Download, this is my Mario image. Try the Super Mario. Like, it's just kind of cool. Like they have all these ways that you can earn. As you can see, I can't even earn enough to get any of this. Like, even if I could did all of these things, I would not get enough. Even Cold Stone Creamery has a code that you can redeem for 100. So you really got to pile these up over time to get anything significant out of this program. But still, the fact that there's even an option for this stuff is great. I'm just like, I'm really going to go take this Mario quiz right now or whatever. Let's see what this is. Like, for 50, screw it. Let's find it. Oh, you can't. I can't take it. I can't take it. I can't take it. Mission details. Wait, what's the say? Hold on. This one says, complete the mission by taking the Super Mario quiz at supermario35.com. All right, let's go to supermario35.com then, shall we? You know, this is just really cool that they do this. So, supermario35.com, let's get in here. Let's get in here. All right, let's see here. We have some my Nintendo missions. Here we go. Let's see all the missions. See all missions. Sign up for the Super Mario Maker 2 Ninja Speed Run online challenge. Participate in the Super Mario Maker 2. Play Super Mario. See, I've done this one. I've done that one. I've got that completed. Regime code from console. Creamy can't do that. Visit the official Mario Super Mario. I've completed that now, I guess. Let's see here. Here's the quiz. Take the quiz. Except I can't take the quiz. I can't take the quiz.  Download this. Like, this is just telling me the same stuff. I'm on Super Mario 35. I'm on it. I'm at the website. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? See, it gets really confusing. This, to me, is kind of confusing. I have three out of 10 missions completed. Here's the quiz. There's the quiz. It's a Mario time now, watch me. Let's go with a hard one. Let's go difficult. In the Super Mario Sunshine game, Mario uses a tool strapped to his back to clean up messes on I'll Del Fino called Flood. What does Flood stand for? Oh, geez. What a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dowsing Device, I believe, is it? That's right. In which game did Mario first encounter the poison mushroom? That is the Lost Levels, I believe. Yeah, I'm acing this quiz so far, going back in time. Which game did Mario first get sleepy and take a nap when the player was idle? Oh, Super Mario World? No, Super Mario 64. Which is the first Super Mario game where Mario's hat can be blown off his head? Blown off his head? Blown off his head? Super Mario Odyssey? Super Mario 64 again? Man, in the original Super Mario Bros. game, Mario's iconic overalls weren't blue. They were in the original. This is the first one, green. What, red? Ah, geez. See, I suck.  My Mario knowledge is horrible. My Mario knowledge is horrible. So let's see, did we get the points for it though? So we completed that. Let's go back here. Let's refresh the missions. It just says to take it. Yeah, we got that 50, right? Let's see if it adds to my total at the top. Yeah, I got 120, but this is just cool. I like that Nintendo does this. I wish, the one thing I wish Nintendo would do is take these my Nintendo stuff and make it, like, show it on Switch. Like, you don't even know about these Poochie achievements or anything that you can get these coins with it. You just don't know about them unless you're told, right? Like, that's the crazy thing. Unless you're told, you don't know about them because it doesn't tell you really on Switch. I know there's a news section, but why doesn't it tell you in-game? This is why we need this stuff to be in-game. So I like that they're doing this. I think it can be done better. But hey, some new physical awards. So enjoy, guys. Good luck, and I'll catch you guys in the next video.


Welcome to the Republic. Pachamama Republic.  We want to do a kind of concept, kind of green revolution, where we can have our own world, be totally autonomous and be happy. What we need for that? We need some people, people sharing the same ideology. We need some land, which we have already. And we just need to build our world. That's what we're doing. So the goal is building with what we have in around, growing with what we have also, and living happy. It's possible. There are 32 hectares. It's open for everybody. From the minute you like this kind of life, being out of the city, being in a jungle, all what you will have will come by you. This project that started 15 months ago, and it starts to continue growing up. We were 5% for Christmas last year. We were 30% for Christmas this year. Let's see how it goes on for next year. If you want to reach us, you're welcome.  So this is the rocket stove that I built here at Pachamama and Panama. It's just three food tins, like tomato tins and some clay. Some sort of sawdust, animal feed material. It has an insulation. It's a double wall in there with the cans. And then just a clay straw outer. Works pretty good. So we use this to heat water, pre-heating water for cooking. Just to save on the gas, which is always a little bit short supply here. It's going to be a tent, apparently.
