Item Number- SCP-4481 Object Class-Safe Special Containment Procedures- SCP-4481 is currently stored in a containment hangar at Site-29, where it is undergoing study and restoration. Artifacts recovered from SCP-4481 are stored in Site-29's containment facilities as appropriate. The remains of SCP-4481-A are currently in cold storage at Site-29. These remains are to be inspected once yearly, until such a time that the Foundation deems them not worthy of further study. Description- SCP-4481 refers to a piece of extra-universal wreckage which was discovered off the coast of Florida in February of 1986. SCP-4481 consists of a craft superficially resembling a NASA space shuttle, including the cockpit, one surviving engine, and the dorsal side of the fuselage. A large part of the ventral side is missing, apparently sheared away in a circular pattern at the molecular level. SCP-4481 differs from a NASA shuttle in that it has solid black coloration, and the image of the American flag on the right tail fin bears only 41 stars. SCP-4481 contains several items of note, including packets of dehydrated banana slices that appear to have been made using the largely extinct Gromy Shell cultivar. A rhesus macaque, fused to the inside of its cage, speculated to have been a test animal. Several puppets resembling characters from the American children's program Sesame Street. Most are too waterlogged and damaged to identify, but some characters such as Kermit the Frog are recognizable. What appears to be part of a passport for a citizen of the Soviet Union, dated 1985, name-eligible. SCP-4481-A was the sole surviving crew member aboard SCP-4481. SCP-4481-A is a costume resembling the character of Big Bird from Sesame Street, albeit with several discrepancies. The feathers on the costume are white and blue as opposed to solid yellow. The eyes of the costume are heterochromatic, and contain small cameras of unknown use. Prior to 1987, the cameras continuously broadcast a signal that was picked up in Boston, Massachusetts. The head of the costume contains advanced motors and hydraulics that are out of place for 1986. The costume is styled to be wearing a suit similar in appearance to a contemporary NASA EVA suit. Emblems present on the suit claim to be part of the Muppets in Space Initiative aboard the shuttle Excelsior. A nameplate on the suit reads, Be Bird. SCP-4481-A was found in the flooded cockpit of SCP-4481, attempting to drown itself. When SCP-4481-A was alive, it was capable of muffled vocalization, most of which were pleased for death. Interviews conducted during this time provided no gainful information. SCP-4481-A successfully drowned itself before it could be recovered. An autopsy conducted on SCP-4481-A produced the following findings. No solid muscular or skeletal structures were present. Several pieces of soft tissue, believed to be organs, were found in a soup of fluid, mostly blood and sweat, at the lowest point of the thoracic cavity. What is believed to have once been the skull of the individual inside SCP-4481-A was found to have integrated itself into the heart. Craneal and cardiac matter intersected in this manner would have caused severe pain to the subject while they were alive. 1. 475 caliber bullet, origin unclear. Powder burn found on exterior of costume indicates a recent injury at time of recovery. But no firearm has been discovered near SCP-4481's location of recovery in the intervening years. A ziploc bag containing a crayon drawing on 5x8 writing paper, depicting SCP-4481-A alongside several figures that resemble characters on Sesame Street. SCP-4481-A is dressed in an astronaut's uniform. The drawing is signed Johnny Age 5. Six other suits belonging to the crew of SCP-4481 were found in the cockpit alongside SCP-4481-A. These all contained a soup of tissue and organs similar to what was found inside SCP-4481-A. In addition, there is evidence of human tissue being integrated into the structure of these suits. Whether or not the crew survived this process in a manner similar to SCP-4481-A is unclear.


Okay, very good morning to you. It is Wednesday the 3rd of June. Hope everyone is doing well Just a reminder before I begin don't forget to like and subscribe to the YouTube channel lots more content coming Seven days a week from me and the rest of the team But just having a look then across the charts and as you can see this morning another case of relative risk on Equity index futures higher. We had a firmer close on Wall Street that Dow futures already up another hundred and fifty this morning the DAX trading up a hundred and seventy five But it's all one in the futures Consequently gold down about seven dollars teen notes down five ticks oil up a dollar So who despite what you're reading in mainstream media, which is kind of these ongoing size of protests in America And also reflected across some other parts of the Western world as well as the ongoing risk of coronavirus in a second wave at the moment market appetite remains fairly Optimistic in terms of a risk perspective and equities continue to move higher So yeah, that's the main kind of theme of this morning And I guess one of the questions I've had I woke up I had a few people just asking me on on Twitter so my handles there I mean feel free to follow and obviously ask me questions if you ever have any But questions about why are we continuing to rally? I think it does feel a little bit unusual because it almost seems counter-intuitive to the move that we continue to see and I Guess one of the things here Let's just make the S&P chart a little bit bigger to really put this into a bit of perspective I was looking on a daily chart here And obviously this was the the big sell-off that we had when we peeked around all-time highs in February And then we got to the the route on the March 23rd low Which was this huge sell-off on the pricing in of the the implications that the pandemic was going to have not just on the US But the global economy But since that point obviously we've had just this amazing rally And if I actually look from a percentage point of view now from where we were at the bottom to where we are now We're up about 42 and a half percent Technically now, I mean we're trading in the futures in the S&P. I'm looking at here 3090 Obviously if this trend continues, I don't really see much in the way of obstacles until we get up to around 31 1314 which would be around those highs that we had on the 5th of March and also some area of relevant Support and resistance around the Q4 of last year anything above there Well, then that starts to bring in you can see that wick high that you have in the 26th And that also the low on the 8th of Jan As well of this year, which would be a 3180 so on the road to 3200 once again Above that another interesting level would be those lows that we had the bounce late Jan and also a support area From early January as well of this year So this all contingent of course that all things remain as they are at the moment But I guess the question is is, you know, why are we seeing this this kind of Ongoing trend here despite these obvious risks on the table that people keep talking about and particularly now with things like the riots Obviously, I myself have talked about the potential In the future for risk of further transmission of the virus given the lack of social distancing obviously when when you're having a protest As well as other factors that might be risks such as the trade war Escalation that we've had so kind of I guess listing out these reasons There are a few and if you mean I talk about the risk of secondary waves Don't forget that has not materialized as yet. I've seen a few people using say Iran as a bit of a reference point I believe they had 3,000 cases Reported yesterday, which is kind of right back up there at the peak and they're they're kind of Bar chart if you're looking at cases has kind of gone phase one and phase two is almost mimicking the same as phase one I guess that would be a bit of a litmus test of maybe authorities not managing that situation In the best way that they possibly could have done but in the Western world at least it's continue to remain Cases plateauing in aggregate and compressed in some of the hardest hit areas So talking about the US and generally the UK and mainland Europe Italy Spain so on The other thing is manufacturing gauges have showed a degree of economies somewhat stabilizing We saw that in the Chinese data Yesterday we did have some Chinese data overnight. This was the case in service PMI and it was up sharply in May and Of course this comes after the reopening of their economy It was the largest expansion and nearly a decade for this data set to rebounds the steeper since October of 2010 So all of these things here are helping the narrative But probably underlying the main crux of the matter of what supporting markets of course is The dual fold mechanism of fiscal and monetary support. So from the government side, they've obviously fired a lot trillions in fact into the Global economy in order to counteract This downturn from the coronavirus and that's not stopping anytime soon Obviously the US going through various talks about potentially more Kind of fiscal stimulus and the same happening a second package was being discussed in Germany from Angela Merkel yesterday But then also you've got things like the ECB tomorrow where much like with other central banks The ECB is going to go that extra step further The likelihood is they're going to top up their quantitative easing program by a further 500 billion And so these are powerful forces underlying this general confidence in markets looking beyond the risks that are clear and apparent now and thinking about the Pricing in of the economic recovery that might come in future. Obviously When pricing the future that outlook though is subject to change. So don't get me wrong things can change But again, these underlying reasons of why Stocks are continuing to rally Also yesterday as a kind of footnote. We had oil prices again. You can see down here at the bottom oil continues to rally You know, it's so interesting looking at oil prices now. There was a chart here Don't if you remember about two weeks ago I shared this chart and I had marked up and the reason why I'd shared it is I was looking at this trend line of Which at the time we had broken and it was the day after when we had printed on the candlestick Managed after we broke it we retested that trend line but closed above it importantly I thought and I drawn this arrow of what I thought the future price activity might be in Yeah, it couldn't have gone more to what I was thinking in that respect and really It's hard to see now much getting in the way of us getting to the psychological Kind of $40 handle, which isn't too far above and that would also bring into play then a full reversal of where we were Around $41 looking on a daily continuation here from when we had that initial Kind of fall out where OPEC plus had that meeting. You remember the beginning of March They failed to make an agreement that was when the Saudis retaliated talked about flooding the market under pricing Competitors for new customers and that was when we are then eventually had that big Kind of pushed down into negative prices on that whole cushing storage issue in the futures market But since then we continue to recover I'll talk about all a little bit more because I do feel like oil is I Think technically yes, there's some further room and other three or four dollars on the upside I don't think would be unrealistic particularly if the general risk appetite remains as it has been But there are certainly some expectations now for oil prices built around this upcoming OPEC meeting that we need to be aware of which I'm going to talk about in a moment so yeah oil prices obviously moving higher that kind of assists the general kind of Risk appetite obviously that that very fleeting moment of people panicking about the negative price of oil which Realistically yes in some ways it it it was a reflection of severe kind of misplacement of fundamentals in respect of the Destruction of demand through the coronavirus and the the massive economic impact the virus has had also Just generally the oversupplied nature of the market with all of these competing producers who Or have their own agendas Russia Saudi America so that that created and and it was a true move lower, but then You know the mechanics of the futures market and the storage issue Is what created that that one week of volatility and oil but you know that ship sailed and left town a long time ago So that that again is off the off the table for the moment and then from brexit point of view You know cable does continue to remain pretty solid at the moment. You know, we're up there one Close to 126 handle the Dixie a little bit weaker than this morning the currency market So both major pairs on the front foot But obviously we heard yesterday that the potential compromise on brexit and this is a kind of a another Macro topic that's a little bit being on the sidelines In the shadow of the coronavirus and obviously the trade war But that is important because there's a deadline moving as we know at the end of the month Johnson according to reports will be told where the EU could potentially make concessions When him and their European Commission president meet in the coming weeks But that's as long as the UK takes a similarly Concillatory approach, but overall some kind of lukewarm signals that there could be some Degree of coming off these kind of firm stances and meeting in the middle somewhere So yeah, all of these things are a positive short-term and what does that mean for the currency market? Well, you know, this is something I wanted to look at and You know traditionally when people look at markets they tend to think of They tend to oversimplify things like a little bit in a sense that they go, right risk on you're buying equities and then risk off You're looking at, you know, potentially strengthen in the yen, for example And so from a currency perspective, you're thinking about a flight to quality and things like the Swiss E the yen But actually the dollar has been quite a good barometer of risk sentiment Just looking at a chart here dating back year-to-date of the Dixie and You can see here quite a distinct and clear pattern. There was this Big rally that came in March and if you overlaid that with the equity market, it would be the complete inverse relationship So as equities were selling off dramatically, the dollar was strengthening dramatically And although that might sound a bit strange, you might think well the US economy is going to get hammered here You have to think about in broader global economic terms This is the global reserve currency and so in times of extreme strife like that people would flock to the dollar in terms of it being the in some respects the greatest store of value comparative to the depreciation of other currencies in respect so the Dixie rallied aggressively here, but one of the things at the moment is that you've been seeing a Reflection of when equities have been moving higher generally the Dixie's been moving lower and vice versa and this morning Another case in point. Dixie is down about a quarter percent. Major pairs are up T knows it down gold is down equities are higher again And so yeah, I just thought it was quite interesting to see here then about what does this mean for other? currency pairs and started looking at the euro dollar last night and Just want to bring the euro dollar chart into my screen. So just bear with me one second here So this is your dollar and I'm going to switch it over to a weekly chart So obviously when I put it on a weekly candlestick The access you're looking at the bottom goes back to 2016 17 1819 20 to where we are at the moment. So this is bringing in a multi-year view and You know one of the things here I was looking at last night was a note out of Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Bank have said the broad nature of dollar weakness highlights the unwinding of the risk premium that Substantially benefited the reserve currency. So as we were just describing They've said the dollar should be about 10% weaker in narrow trade-weighted terms To fully take out this risk premium that was priced in so again if we go back to what we're looking at with a Dixie You could argue that if we go back to where we were and obviously we're trading around a 97 and a half in a Dixie at the moment Well, we could get back down to sub 95 at this point in time obviously if that's happening the dollars weakening well by default then euro dollar pair is moving higher at this point and For Deutsche Bank, they say that so far that move then Remember they said the dollar should be about 10% weaker in narrow trade-weighted terms to fully take out that risk premium They say the move at the moment has only been about 3% So put those together then there's still some more room to run over the medium term and their forecasting DB The euro dollar could go to 115 now 115. I've marked up here This would be this area. So if I just put a rectangle around what DB are looking at is here This would push us right back up to those March 9th highs At this point before we get there though There are certainly we're coming up to a fairly interesting point as we trade a 112 handle now So looking on the weekly 112-44 was that weekly high that we printed on the week of 16th and also resistance on in the end of December of 2019 we kind of close to it again during the October period has been a Numerous occasions. It was acting as support as well over the case of Q4 and Q1 of 2018-19 respectively So quite a key level coming up there on that horizontal just to keep an eye on but then, you know, do we come up? Kind of got this trend line here as well that I'd be keeping now But then you can see the significance of the 115 obviously psychological at the handle But then that was a key top for price activity in March and June of 2019 Also, you can go all the way back to 2016 It was a real firm area of resistance that then saw Eurodollar come Sharply lower in the in the 12 months thereafter. It's also added support before so yeah Just looking on a slightly longer time frame And about these these kind of views obviously from an ECB point of view the ECB you're going to be out Adding more stimulus in a form of more quantitative easing But at the moment, you know a lot of that is priced in don't forget if the ECB do not deliver on Stimulus tomorrow, it would be an absolute shock And so at the moment the euro dollar price that you're seeing in front of you on your screens is the real price. It's moving higher That's the markets already priced in that additional stimulus at that point. So Again, the risk appetite. It's a bit strange at the moment. It's more like the increased Assistance by the authorities whether the central bank or government helps assist the economic recovery which helps Economic risk sentiment globally which then typically sees an unwind of the risk premium in the dollar And that's lifting those dollar-based currency pairs at the moment I know it's quite quite a lot to take in but hopefully that makes a bit more sense The other thing as well I did see last night that I thought was quite interesting was this This is a graphic by the FT and It's looking at all streets performance. So the S&P 500 total returns percentage And it's looking at the performance down plays civil and political unrest So one of the things I'm quite interested in was just looking at a bit of kind of most backtesting of any other Previous time in his recent history that we've had some kind of civil political unrest and what type of impact is that then had as a consequence on the S&P 500 over that given year and This of course comes after we've had thousands of people marching in protests in New York and Los Angeles last night This comes irrespective of those curfews in place and doesn't look like any time soon that that's going to tail off So there's five different examples here some you might be more familiar with than others but Occupy Wall Street was a protest that happened in 2011 much more smaller to than compared to some of the others I'm about to describe the other was the Clinton impeachment And so this was the kind of period there of the we're looking at the late 90s Then you've got the LA riots that would be 1992 And then the Martin Luther King Kennedy assassinations of 1968 now these were all times of extreme Kind of political unrest some of them particularly 68 obviously being more in regards to a race issue Similar to what we have at the moment But as you can see here the percentage return on every single one of these occasions has been positive if not very positive illustrating then how equity prices reflect a focus on underlying economic and corporate earnings Narrative at the time rather than societal and political upheaval so Is this going to be any different? I Don't think so. I don't I don't think At the moment at least the massive support and it is massive from the Federal Reserve Fiscal stimulus from Washington is putting confidence in the the ability for the economic recovery The only you know the real risks here are as I said before I still think it warrants quite a lot of vigilance to look at these Corona virus cases as we go through the next week or so I've said this before I'll say it again And then of course you've got to keep an arm of trade war, but you know when it comes to the trade war Yes, it has escalated, but I guess it's one of those where We kind of end up in that same situation again. It's almost self-harming in a way particularly in a political Campaigning year when the economy is already depressed on the back of a pandemic for Trump to really push it too far so yes, he has to have an anti-China rhetoric in order to Cultivate his base into an election, but he knows for a while that he's got to manage it in a certain type of way And as we've seen many times before that infinity loop of kind of the trade war cycle You know, are we just going out of the negative we go back into a positive phase Well yet to be seen so yeah a couple of interesting things that I thought I'd cover Final things then are in oil Oil as I said this has been moving higher, but I'm getting a little bit of deja vu to be honest because Doesn't matter how many times OPEC say something and don't deliver and then they say this and they change it to that people still generally buy into what they say and You know, this isn't just oil moving on the back of expectations that OPEC plus are going to roll over their existing supply cut There's obviously as I've said You know a bit of a bounce back in some of these indicators particularly in China that their economy is stabilizing On the manufacturing the service numbers were pretty strong overnight. You know, these other factors are helping but Whether or not we have the meeting this week brought forward or next week The consensus at the moment is emerging around proposal to cut or to extend the cuts for one month Saudis are still pushing for three But the talk of the town is at the moment if they can get Russia still on board Which of course is imperative for the cuts to have any type of impact Then it's more likely to be at the lower end one month but yeah, just given the the kind of The move that we've had consistently higher in oil I do think that perhaps It could be one of those where an extension of one month becomes somewhat of a disappointment just given the fact that it's kind of By the rumor sell the fact type price activity because as per usual, I'm sure there's going to be some real Speed bumps along the way that isn't going to make this smooth sailing in order to get a Saudi russia compromise at this point It's something to just be aware of API oil if entries came out last night Obviously, this comes as the front run for the the DOEs this afternoon The crude headline figure was a surprise drawdown. So again another factor just helping support prices in the short term at least intraday Cruder drawdown of just shy of half a million expectations were for a build Of 3.5 million cushing and draw 2.2 million gasoline build 1.7 million. They're still at 5.9 million Looking at the calendar for today What have we got? Well, all of these service PMI numbers These will be the eurozone final readings. So probably not too much in terms of market moving potential We do have some german unemployment rate and change Coming up in just over an hour's time or so perhaps worth keeping an eye on the unemployment rate in germany expected to tick up To 6.2 for 5.8 percent got a range of 5.9 to 6.8 Uh the uk service PMI Final reading that's coming out as well a bit later This morning and that'll be at 9 30 and then you got the eurozone unemployment rate at 10 o'clock The focus then in the u.s. Session turns towards the build up for non-farm payrolls. Of course that's coming on The jobs report on friday. So today we get adp Adp is expected to show another quite stark negative reading The expectation is for minus 9 million the range minus 12 million at the low To a high most optimistic way of just minus 200 000 But remember minus 9 million in private payrolls is a pretty huge number But is actually an improvement because the prior month, of course, we had a loss of 20.236 million of jobs So something similar that we're anticipating there for payrolls So an accumulation Unemployment rate obviously is going to go up on a median basis up to expectations are just shy of 20 percent But a bulk of that had already come In the april reading remember in may part of the us economy had already started reopening Hence the numbers not going to be adjusted or not as dramatic in that sense Otherwise then other than adp you get the US factory orders coming out at three o'clock you get ism no manufacturing PMI as well You've also got the bank of canada interest rate decision Rates expected to be left on hold at 0.25 percent, and then you've got the oil inventory numbers in the afternoon So that's it. We're going to go any further than that. I'm going to let you guys get on with your day Any questions, please feel free to to leave a comment on the video and remember to subscribe to the channel And I'll see you guys tomorrow. All right. Thanks very much


Hello, I've got to keep it light today because I want to lift, last week I went really hard during this session, the second session of the week after my heavy lifting, I did hot yoga yesterday so I feel very dehydrated, but we'll see how it goes, I'm going to try to keep the session light, a few dunks if I'm feeling it, just go all out, why not, and then light lifting and then dunk it in two days again, let's get it. What's up Adam? Where'd you go? Oh, there he is. Hey, what are we doing today bro? We're doing the brim touchers and the slam jammers.   I'm sorry about my hair, it's going to get cut today. One sin, and I was like, basically told him when he goes up with two, he's exploding more. The best form of his two hand, he doesn't know why, and it's basically because when he's trying to cop back, he's probably exploding most. You get his things off one, he just kind of goes, probably gets more pop. Sorry guys. I really don't think I've jumped my full 100% jump yet, so I'm just trying to get that and then I'll cut it. I'm going to try to replicate that dunk off the dribble. Bounce windmill for those who want to see it. Hey, tips on 360. Tips. I'm really tired, so I'm just going to stop.


pimples on my chin and it's annoying. Hello hello everyone my name is Laura and this is my channel Laura's Little Library and welcome to today's video which is my June wrap up. Eleven books and June technically isn't over but I highly doubt I'll finish my current read before the end of June. By the way my current read is a master of gin so I have decided this month that I'm going to go through the books that I read this month in order of least favorite to favorite. Another thing to point out before we really get started is that my theme for this month was like queer especially queer romance but not specifically queer romance. Not every book I read was queer just because I had like some audiobooks and other things that I just had available to me and so I wanted to read it before it became not available to me. I didn't have any one-stars or DNS which is great. So we're gonna start off I had two two-star books. So the first one was A Spindle Splintered by Alexi Harrow and I just was not a fan of this one. I thought the beginning was really cool and the initial concept was good but I don't like how the story grew. I didn't like the writing. I didn't like our characters as much as I wanted to. I think the concept was good but it was taken in a direction that didn't make sense or I didn't enjoy. So this really just missed the mark for me and I will not be continuing on with other books that may or may not be published. By this I'm still willing to give the author a chance even though I wasn't a fan of the writing. I think this book it was too short but only because the author tried to do more than what I think they could fit in this length. I think if they either allowed themselves more space or didn't try to reach for the stars it would have been a little better. So I'm still up for reading more from this author but not any in this series of any more coming out. My other two-star book was Cool for the Summer and this is by Dalia Adler. This follows our main character who is discovering that she is bisexual. She had a it's a dual timeline so we have the now which is school is starting again and her long time crush has finally asked her out. She's so excited to go on a date with him but she's also flashing back through her romance of the summer with this girl in North Carolina and she wasn't aware that she was bi before this so it kind of just made her question and I knew that I wasn't going to be a big fan of this book. Like going in I knew it was gonna be a love triangle and I knew that I was going to get frustrated with it but it was so much worse in that regard than when I thought it was going to be. It was just painful to read so much cringe so much like second hand embarrassment and like even the characters I was like what there's no point in you doing this or I don't see the logic behind it. So I knew this wasn't going to be a favorite of mine but I wanted to give it a chance and it just really kind of let me down so it was a two-stars. Moving on to three stars I had a book called Better Off Dead and this is one of the book in the Jack Reacher series. I read this as an audiobook with my dad just on the drive home from Minnesota to Michigan as it's a 10-hour drive and we both love audiobooks so it was completely unplanned by me but a book that my dad had been wanting to read. So we read it. It's basically this ex-military police guy Jack Reacher just kind of lives his life as a hobo. He doesn't carry like anything on him and he just travels wherever he wants to you know he hitchhikes he sleeps outside he only gets rid of his clothes when he needs new ones and then he just wears those until they're not good anymore like you know I just like super chill but because he's ex-military police he's like super buff and super smart and super big so he kind of goes around and helps people so yeah he's trying to solve a murder in this book and I like the idea of it I think the writing it's a little old like this book there are like 26 books in the series and they're still coming out and you don't necessarily need to read them in order but it is helpful if you at least know like the background but it was just constantly like oh I'm so big I'm so tough this would hurt a regular sized person but not me like just a lot of toxic masculinity style military stuff but and like the writing just wasn't great but it was a fun listen and again kind of like with the spy espionage novels like it's not my go-to genre it's not genre that I would choose but I read it so it's there now and then I also read one true king by so much I know me this is the final book in this school for getting evil it is book six so it's the last book oh my goodness I think there's like a prequel that's either about to come out or just came out so I'm not done with his writing in the world but I finally finished the series and I've been reading this series for a very long time it's three out of five stars again I felt that it was just long drawn out constantly just more things needed to happen like it just kept getting over over complicated and I just was kind of sick of it and just really wanted to finish the series but like it was fine I still highly recommend this series I think other people would probably enjoy the last two books more than me especially if you're like a classic fantasy reader or love middle grade yeah and one thing though that did frustrate me about this book and again is June so like my main focus were queer books but like there was I felt like there was like so much queer baiting where I was like could this character be oh wait was that a glove that no so it oh it just got into my head I was like come on but nothing was ever explicit so it's a little bummed but then the next three star book that I have is I'll Be the One and this is by Lila Lee and this is about an plus-sized Korean American who auditions on the show as a singer and a dancer to try and become the next K-pop star this I love the premise of it and I loved the characters and I gotta say I loved the romance so much it did not have that third act break up it did not follow those tropes which made me so happy like I loved it so much however I still think this could have been much better than it was like our character just seemed a little out of whack in terms of her like priorities and the competition aspect was so like like we never got anything about her figuring out how to choose songs or memorize in choreo or like like she just kind of went through the competition like like it was a breeze and it just it just seemed like she didn't really have to work with anything she just had to put up with all the hate for her being a plus-sized dancer which is not a bad thing because we need that representation there are amazing plus sized dancers in our world and they need to be represented and know that they're loved and valued but I wish that other elements of the competition was still there and the story and that it just didn't feel too easy and like the whole thing will like if you win you go to Korea will she barely mention the fact that she wants to go to Korea and like things like that but I did love the aspect of Korean American and Korean culture sprinkled in here it was really cool and I would still very much recommend this book but it was kind of only a three stars for me for these reasons next we get to move on to the four stars so the first one is oh I'm not even saying sexuality our main character in here is bisexual and so are some of the other characters which was really cool and really fun to read for me because I'm bisexual so I enjoyed it then the next book that I read is the Kindred and we have we got a lot of queer rep in that book let me let me just open up my notes to make sure I get everything so one character is bi another is gay another has non-binary another is non-binary and we have body image issues rep so there was a lot going on in this book but it was four stars it was really good it's science fiction which is again not one of my top genres but like I enjoy it so basically the premise is that the on this alien planet or system really and it does deal with colonization too a little bit two people are basically kind of paired at birth and they are kindred they could be best friends they could be soul mates they could like they have some deep connection but it's not always romantic but one of our main characters because it's dual perspective and the audio book actually had two narrators which was kind of cool but one is a duke who's like fifth in line for the throne he's kind of more of a party boy kind of does what he wants and the other is a very very poor girl who lives in the poor area of the poorest planet etc. and so forth so everyone's like oh my word I cannot believe that they were the kindred but also okay I guess but then when the royal family is killed he has to go into hiding and he finally takes his kindred with him so that they can meet each other in person and not be split up or in danger and they go to earth they got to figure out how to get home prove their innocence but also survive on earth which is kind of fun I really I loved the characters I think they were one of my favorite parts like the world building was cool I kind of wish we had gotten a little more description about the physical things in the alien world but I liked the concept again of the kindred and the characters were really the main points of the story it was also very 2022 like COVID was mentioned and lots of modern references so if you want to read this I would say read it now before everything kind of grows old I mean it probably won't for another like five to ten years but still books that have modern references are always just like great that's great now but it's not always gonna stay great they debut in this genre I don't know if it was a debut for the author at least now but I think it could have been and it was and it's just seemed like that where there are some areas where I was like that could have been a better sentence or that plot point company and a little better just like with more like lacking of experience kind of so I look forward to reading more by this author but you know it wasn't perfect it was a four star I also wish we had gotten more the villain because I feel like that could have been a really cool villain that could have been really complex and I could have felt for but there was barely anything to it it was just like this person did it the end for what it was it was four stars and then I've got the henna wars most of these books also will be in my June vlog that will be up sometime around this so just keep that in mind there are quite a few overlap but you get more review here anyway the head of war is by a deep project you're not our main character is a lesbian and she is also Muslim she's been she's Bengali living in Ireland and she needs to figure out a business for one of her classes and then she develops a crush on Flavia who is a Brazilian Irish and they end up opening rival henna businesses and there's a lot of deep things beware trigger warnings in terms of someone being outed and like cultural appropriation and bling and things like that so just be aware of that before you go in but I love to this book so four out of five star I think this would have been a five star if I didn't read honey and issues guide to fake dating first because I think I like that book just a little bit more and I saw a lot of the aspects from that book in this book to just like bad friends and various other issues I think this would have been a five star if I read this before honey and issues guide but oh well what can you do I still very highly recommend this even if it wasn't a full five star for me it just kind of came down to like the nitty gritty but it was like so cute but I have me crying I stayed up so late to finish reading this book because I was like oh I've got like two hours left in this book but it's like nine o'clock and I need to go to bed but I need to finish the book so I stayed up really late and finished the book and it was worth it but it was hard but it was worth it so getting close to the end so the next one is a four point five star rating and it was kind of surprising that it's a four point five star rating because I feel like this book was really hyped up on Instagram but not really anywhere else and that is the grim rose girls by Laura pole and this is a like sapphic queer dark academia which was really cool but it was a four point five stars it was very heavily based off of fairy tales without being a retelling or anything like that it was really interesting and there's another book that takes place after this and I really want to pick that up soon so this is just good all I can say about it really is that there is like queer dark academia and it was amazing it was so good and I've got another book like that and I'm really excited to read that soon as well and now we're on to the five stars I have three five-star books this month the first one is a graphic novel the prince and the dressmaker and this is by Jen Wang and this is like so cute but basically our main character is a seamstress and she is super talented and this prince kind of discovers her in a way and he tries to employ her secretly to like make him dresses because he likes dressing up he kind of it's kind of like a drag situation like it's more than just the dresses he also puts on a wig and comes up with a new name and just kind of really just is who he wants to be and he goes out and he has fun and she goes out with him and it's really fun and things like that but he's the prince so we don't know how people would react to him like cross dressing like that so yeah super cute I read it so quick good art oh my goodness like highly highly recommend if you're looking for a quick read that deals with like fashion or royalty or yeah next up I read a book called anatomy and this was like a gothic romance it is not queer so don't don't think that it is but basically it's like 1800s Scotland there are certain elements of science that don't exist as science in our world like they kind of talk about bringing things back to life at the very beginning of the book but that is a topic that is like dropped for a majority of the book which was super disappointing I thought I think I was told it was kind of like a frankenstein inspired gothic romance and I liked the romance but I think frankenstein just didn't make it quite as much in there as I was hoping but it was just well written the audiobook was great I love the characters the ending was not an ending I thought I would like but I ended up being perfectly okay with which was kind of cool so yeah I know a lot of people have been like picking it up and reading it and then like not talking about it so yeah I thought it's a five out of five stars I just I was gripped throughout the whole way I kept like going on I would go for a walk and listen to it and come home and be like oh there's more book to listen to I'll go on another walk uh just because I wanted to keep reading it and then the final book that I have that I'm going to talk about is dial a for aunties by jesse keysu tanto I have been wanting to read this ever since it came out it's been on my radar for quite a while the second book actually like just came out and I loved it like I knew I was gonna love it and I was really worried that the hype was going to make it like I was worried it was going to be over hyped but I don't think it was so we've got our main character who has four well she's got her mom and then three aunties and they are uh Chinese Indonesian and they run a wedding business so like one does the pastries and one the entertainment and the other is hair and makeup and the other does she does the floral arrangements and then our main character is the photographer and so there's this really like important wedding in the Indonesian American community and they're really excited to be doing it and then our main character accidentally kills somebody oops so now they have to cover it up while also putting on a wedding and let me tell you things get crazy they get out of control they're hilarious it's wonderful and I loved her main character like it was slightly thinly done when it's killing it but with a very different main character and just a very different background like it's like it's they have one thing in common but otherwise like it's completely different and oh I loved it so much easy five stars yeah those are all the books that I read in June all 11 books thank you all so much for watching if you liked this video let me know by giving a thumbs up feel free to subscribe down below I

Welcome to the section of the thigh, Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Professor, Department Chair. This is the left side of the cut ever and this is the deep fascia of the thigh which has been removed. This lateral portion, this thick portion that you see here, this is the iliotibial tract and this is the other cut portion of the fascia. This deep fascia of the thigh is called the fascia letter that has been completely removed here. Let's take a quick look at the muscles of the anterior compartment. So this is the anterior compartment of the thigh. The first muscle which comes to a view is this long strap-like muscle here. This is the sartorius, the tailor's muscle. It starts originating from the anteriorly spine and goes obliquely down all the way and gets inserted into the pess and serenus on the medial side of the tibia. So this is the sartorius. The next muscle that we see when I reflect the sartorius is this one here. This is the rectus femoris. This has got two origins, a straight head and a reflected head. The straight head takes origin from the anterior inferiorly spine and the reflected head from just above the estabular margin. And this is a powerful kicking muscle and if there's a loss of function of this muscle, it is equivalent to loss of 17% function of the quadriceps. So this is the most superficial muscle of the quadriceps femoris. When I lift up the rectus femoris, I see a muscle under that. And this muscle that you see here, this is the vastus intermedius, which takes origin from the anterior surface of the femur. Immediately lateral to that is the largest muscle of the quadriceps and you can see it here. This is the vastus lateralis. The vastus lateralis, as I said, is the largest muscle and we have already mentioned that it is covered on the lateral aspect by the t-liotibia tract. Posteriorly the vastus lateralis is covered by the lateral intermuscular septum. And on the medial side, we see this muscle here. This is the vastus medialis. Both these vasti, vasti medialis and vastus lateralis take origin from behind the femur from the linear asphora and they come forward. So we have put all the four muscles of the quadriceps in place, namely the rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis and vastus delis. And all these four muscles, they form a very strong tendon here just above the patella. And this tendon that you see here, this is the quadriceps tendon. Now the quadriceps tendon gets inserted onto the base of the patella. However, each of these muscles also have independent insertions onto the patella. Then there is a thin apodiorotic expansion which goes above the patella and then it continues down as this strong ligament here that we see called the ligamentum patellae, or the patella ligament, which finally gets inserted onto this bony projection on the tibia, which is called the tibial tuberosity. So therefore the quadriceps, final insertion of all the quadriceps is on the tibial tuberosity with the patella inserted in between, just opposed between the quadriceps tendon above and the patella ligament below. The purpose of the patella is to change the direction of pull and increase the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps muscle.  So these are the muscles and they are all supplied by the femoral nerve which I am going to show you later. So these are the muscles of the anterior compartment. There are a few other muscles which I am going to show you when I come to the next section. Thank you very much for watching ladies and gentlemen. Have a nice day. Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out.
