So, let me go back to the Hartree-Fock. Now, I go back for the general Hartree-Fock. Do not talk of closed-sale, open-sale. So, I go back to spin orbitals. So, I write again, I write the problem minimize energy. Now, I write minimize E equal to what is E? I now write it chi i tilde. I write deliberately chi i tilde now because they are trial function plus half of ij chi i chi j anti-symmetrized again. I have written in a short form now anti-symmetrized matrix elements of the Coulomb and exchange are stuck together. Minimize this subject to chi i tilde chi j tilde equal to 10 times. So, I have now stated the problem mathematically. Minimize this, of course, E subject to this with respect to n chi i tilde. So, this is my parameters and I told you, I am looking for n 1 electron functions. It is just that I do not know the basis. So, I am looking for n 1 electron function such that that determinant form out of that n 1 electron function gives you the minimum energy with respect to all other set of n functions. You can choose any n functions. So, that is the reason I am varying with respect to chi i tilde. I hope this statement is clear. So, this is my Hartree-Fock problem. So, how do I do this? So, remember it is a conditional variation because I have this chi i tilde chi j tilde minus delta ij equal to 0. So, it is a conditional thing. So, how do I do a conditional variation? I construct a Lagrangian. I hope all of you know this. It is a subject to this variation. So, my Lagrangian then becomes sum over i chi i tilde h chi i tilde plus half of ij. I am going to come back in the next class and expand this anti-symmetrize. Eventually, I have to expand this, of course. Right now, let me write it in a simple form. Minus sum over ij lambda ij chi i tilde chi j tilde minus delta ij, correct? That becomes my Lagrangian. Remember, the Lagrangians are always written that whatever is the function I am optimizing plus a undetermined multiplier times the condition such that the condition is equal to 0. So, what is my condition here? That this minus delta ij equal to 0 for all ij. So, how many conditions are there? n square, correct? All ij, remember. So, I will have for each of these one parameter. So, that is why I have n square parameter. I am summing over all of them. Is it clear this Lagrangian function? So, this Lagrangian is something that I am going to optimize with respect to what this chi i tilde is? As well as lambda ij. The lambda ij is something that I do not know. It is very clear that the variation with respect to lambda ij will merely give me this equation equal to 0. So, automatically the condition is satisfied and that is the basic idea of the Lagrange multiplier. That if I vary this with respect to lambda ij, what will be the first order variation? First order derivative will be just this because lambda does not appear here. It is a partial derivative. So, this should be equal to 0 which means my condition is automatically fulfilled. So, if I vary this Lagrange yarn with respect to chi i tilde and lambda ij, I am assured that in the process of variation, my condition is fulfilled. So, that is that was the main objective. So, for those who do not know the Lagrange variation, this is basically the reason the Lagrange variation is used. So, if I have to minimize a function f of x subject to another function g of x equal to 0, then what do you do? You consider l of x which is f of x minus or plus lambda times g of x and vary f of x with respect to x and lambda. If you vary with respect to lambda, g of x automatically goes to 0. So, in the process of variation, I am constraining my equation, the way I want. So, that is the basic idea of the Lagrange variation. That is a very important mathematics which is actually going to be used. It is being used just because I have knocked up the denominator. Let us not forget. I have written only the numerator here. I have knocked up the denominator. That is why it is being used. Let us do forget why this condition has come. So, this is where we are going to start now. So, this is my function which I am going to minimize with respect to kaii till days and lambda ij. Thank you.

Dread of Germanicus had made that prince faithful to the Romans and just to his people, but he subsequently changed this behaviour for insolence towards us and tyranny to his subjects. He was elated by the wars which he had successfully waged against the surrounding nations, one he disdained the aged and, as he thought, unwarlike Tiberius, eagerly coveting Armenia, over which, on the death of Artaxius, he placed Arsakis, his eldest son. He further added insult and sent envoys to reclaim the treasures left by Venonis in Syria and Silesia. Then, too, he insisted on the ancient boundaries of Persia and Macedonia and intimated, with a vain glorious threat, that he meant to seize on the country possessed by Saras and afterwards by Alexander. The chief advisor of the Pathians in sending the secret embassy was Sinakis, a man of distinguished family and corresponding wealth. Next in influence was Abdes, an eunuch, a class which, far from being despised among barbarians, actually possesses power. These, with some other nobles whom they admitted to their councils, as there was not a singular circuit whom they could put on the throne, most of the family having been murdered by Artabanas or being underage, demanded that Friates, son of King Friates, should be sent from Rome. Only a name, they said, and on authority were wanted, only in fact that with Caesar's consent a scion of the house of Arsakis should show himself on the banks of the Euphrates. This suited the wishes of Tiberius. He provided Friates with what he needed for assuming his father's sovereignty, one he clung to his purpose of regulating foreign affairs by a crafty policy and keeping war at a distance. Artabanas, meanwhile, hearing of the treacherous arrangement, was one moment perplexed by apprehension, the next fired with a longing for revenge. With barbarians, indecision is a slave's weakness. Prompt action king-like. But now, expediency prevailed, and he invited Abdus under the guise of friendship to a banquet and disabled him by a lingering poison. Sinakis he brought off by pretexts and presents and also by various employments. Friates, meanwhile, on arriving in Syria where he threw off the Roman fashions to which for so many years he had been accustomed and adapted himself to path in habits unable to endure the customs of his country, was carried off by an illness. Still, Tiberius did not relinquish his purpose. He chose Tiridates, of the same stock as Artabanas, to be his rival, and the Iberian Mithridates to be the instrument of recovering Armenia, having reconciled him to his brother Varysmanes, who held the throne of that country. He then entrusted the whole of his eastern policy to Lucius Vitelius. The man, I am aware, had a bad name at Rome, and many a foul story was told of him. But in the government of provinces he acted with the virtue of ancient times. He returned, and then, through fear of Chia Caesar and intimacy with Claudius, he degenerated into a civility so base that he is regarded by an after-generation as the type of the most degrading adulation. The beginning of his career was forgotten in its end. At an old age of infamy, a faced the virtues of youth. Of the petty chiefs, Mithridates was the first to persuade Varysmanes to aid his enterprise by strategy and force, and agents of corruption were found who tempted the servants of Arsarches into crime by a quantity of gold. At the same instant the Iberians burst into Armenia with a huge host, and captured the city of Artaxata. Artabanes, on hearing this, made his son Arodes the instrument of vengeance. He gave him the Parthian army and dispatched men to her auxiliaries. Varysmanes, on the other hand, allied himself with the Albanians and procured aid from the Samate, whose highest chiefs took bribes from both sides after the fashion of their countrymen and engaged themselves in conflicting interests. But the Iberians, who were masters of the various positions, suddenly poured the Samate into Armenia by the Caspian route. Meanwhile, those who were coming up to the support of the Parthians were easily kept back, all other approaches having been closed by the enemy except one, between the sea and the mountains on the Albanian frontier, which some are rendered difficult as there the shallows are flooded by the force of the Aetesian Gaels. The south wind in winter rolls back the waves and when the sea is driven back upon itself the shallows along the coast are exposed. Meantime, while Arodes was without an ally, Varysmanes, now strengthened by reinforcements, challenged him to battle, taunted him on his refusal, rode up to his camp and harassed his foraging parties. He often hemmed him in with his piques in the fashion of a blockade till the Parthians, who were unused to such insults, gathered round the king and demanded battle. Their sole strength was in cavalry. Varysmanes was also powerful in infantry for the Iberians and Albanians inhabiting as they did a densely wooded country were more inured to hardship and endurance. They claimed to have been descended from the Thessalians at the period when Jason, after the Departure of Media and the children born of her, returned subsequently to the empty palace of Aetes and the vacant kingdom of Kolci. They have many traditions connected with his name and with the oracle of Frixus. No one among them would think of sacrificing a ram, the animals supposed to have conveyed Frixus, whether it was really a ram or the figurehead of a ship. Both sides having been drawn up in battle array, the Parthian leader expatiated on the Empire of the East and the renown of the Arsarchids in contrast to the despicable Iberian chief with his harling soldiery. Varysmanes reminded his people that they had been free from Parthian domination and that the grander their aims, the more glory they would win if victorious. The more disgrace and peril they would incur if they turned their backs. He pointed, as he spoke, to his own menacing array and to the Median bands with their golden embroidery. Warriors, as he said, on one side, spoil on the other. Among the Samartai the general's voice was not alone to be heard. They encouraged one another not to begin the battle with volleys of arrows. They must, they said, anticipate attack by a hand-to-hand charge. Then followed every variety of conflict. The Parthians, accustomed to pursue or fly with equal science, deployed their squadrons and sought scope for their missiles. The Samartai, throwing aside their bows which at a shorter range are effective, rushed on with pikes and swords. Sometimes, as in a cavalry action, there will be alternate advances and retreats. Then again close fighting in which rest to rest with the clash of arms they repulsed the foe or were themselves repulsed. And now the Albanians and Iberians seized and hurled the Parthians from their steeds and embarrassed their enemy with a double attack pressed as they were by the cavalry on the heights and by the nearer blows of the infantry. Meanwhile, Pharasmanis and Orodis, who as they cheered on the brave and supported the wavering, were conspicuous to all and so recognized each other, rushed to the combat with a shout with javelins and galloping charges. Pharasmanis with a greater impetuousity for he pierced his enemy's helmet at a stroke. But he could not repeat the blow as he was hurried onwards by his horse and the wounded man was protected by the bravest of his guards. A rumour that he was slain, which was believed by mistake struck panic into the Parthians and they yielded the victory. Artabanis very soon marched with the whole strength of his kingdom intent on vengeance. The Iberians from their knowledge of the country fought at an advantage. Still Artabanis did not retreat till Vitellius had assembled his legions and by starting a report that he meant to invade Mesopotamia raised an alarm of war with Rome. Armenia was then abandoned and the fortunes of Artabanis were overthrown. Vitellius persuading his subjects to forsake a king who was a tyrant in peace and ruinously unsuccessful in war. And so Cynarches, whose enmity to the prince I have already mentioned drew into actual revolt his father Abdeghesis and others who had been secretly in his council and were now after their continued disasters more eager to fight. By degrees many flocked to him who, having been kept in subjection by fear rather than by good will took courage as soon as they found leaders. Artabanis had now no resources but in some foreigners who guarded his person men exiled from their own homes who had no perception of honour or any scruple about a base act mere higher link instruments of crime. With these attendants he hastened his flight into the remote country on the borders of Scythia in the hope of aid as he was connected by marriage alliances with the Hurcanians and Carmanians. Meantime the Parthians, he thought, indulgent as they are to an absent prince though restless under his presence might turn to a better mind. Vitellius, as soon as Artabanis had fled and his people were inclined to have a new king, urged Tiridates to seize the advantage thus offered and then led the main strength of the legions and the allies to the banks of the Euphrates. While they were sacrificing the one after Roman custom offering a swine, a ram and a bull the other a horse which he had duly prepared as a propitiation to the river-god they were informed by the neighbouring inhabitants that the Euphrates, without any violent rains was of itself rising to an immense height and that the white foam was curling into circles like a diadem, an omen of a prosperous passage. Some explained it with more subtlety of a successful commencement to the enterprise which, however, would not be lasting on the ground that though a confident trust might be placed in prognostics given in the earth or in the heavens, the fluctuating character of rivers exhibited omens which vanished at the same moment. A bridge of boats having been constructed and the army having crossed the first to enter the camp was Orna Spades with several thousand cavalry. Formally an exile he had rendered conspicuous aid to Tiberius in the completion of the Dalmatic War and had for this been rewarded with Roman citizenship. Subsequently he had again sought the friendship of his king by whom he had been raised to high honour and appointed governor of the plains which, being surrounded by the waters of those famous rivers the Euphrates and Tigris have received the name of Miso Potamia. Soon afterwards, Sinarches reinforced the army and Abdeghisis, the mainstay of the party came with the royal treasure and what belonged to the crown. Vitellius thought it enough to have displayed the arms of Rome and he then bade Tiridates remember his grandfather Friates and his foster father Caesar and all that was glorious in both of them while the nobles were to show obedience to their king and respect for us each maintaining his honour and his loyalty. This done he returned with the legions to Syria. I have related in sequence the events of two summer campaigns as a relief to the reader's mind from our miseries at home though three years had elapsed since the destruction of Sajanas neither time in treaties nor sated gratification all which have a soothing effect on others softened Tiberius or kept him from punishing doubtful or forgotten offences as most flagrant and recent crimes. Under this dread, Fulcinius Trio unwilling to face an onslaught of accusers inserted in his will several terrible imputations on macro and on the emperor's principal freedman while he taunted the emperor himself with a mental decay of old age and the virtual exile of continuous retirement. Tiberius ordered these insults which Trio's heirs had suppressed to be publicly read thus showing his tolerance of free speech in others and despising his own shame or possibly because he had long been ignorant of the villainies of Sajanas and now wished any remarks however reckless to be published and so to ascertain through invective if it must be so the truth which flattery obscures. About the same time Granius Marcianes, a senator who was accused of treason by Caesgracus laid hands on himself. Tarius Gratianus too, an ex-Prytor was condemned under the same law to capital punishment. A similar fate befell Trebellianus Rufus and Sextius Peconianus. Trebellianus perished by his own hand. Peconianus was strangled in prison for having there written some lampoons on the emperor. Tiberius received the news no longer parted by the sea as he had been once or through messengers from a distance but in close proximity to Rome so that on the same day or after the interval of a single night he could reply to the despatches of the consuls and almost behold the bloodshed as it streamed from house to house and the strokes of the executioner. At the years close Popias Sabinas died, a man of somewhat humble extraction who had risen by his friendship with two emperors to the consulship and the owners of a triumph. During twenty-four years he had the charge of the most important provinces not for any remarkable ability but because he was equal to business and was not too great for it. Quintus Plortius and Sextius Papinius were the next consuls.  But there was a panic when Vibuelanus Agrippa, a Roman knight as soon as his accusers had finished their case took from his robe in the very Senate house a dose of poison, drank it off and as he fell expiring was hurried away to prison by the prompt hands of Lictors where the neck of the now lifeless man was crushed with a halter. Even Tigranis who had once ruled Armenia and was now impeached did not escape the punishment of an ordinary citizen on the strength of his royal title. Caes Galba, meanwhile and the Blysea perished by a voluntary death. Galba, because a harsh letter from the emperor forbade him was allotted to him. While as for the Blysea the priesthoods intended for them during the prosperity of their house Tiberius had withheld when that prosperity was shaken and now conferred as vacant offices on others. This they understood as a signal of their doom and acted on it. Emilia Leopoda too whose marriage with the younger Drusus I have already related and pursued her husband with ceaseless accusations remained unpunished infamous as she was as long as her father Leopoda's lived subsequently fell a victim to the informers for adultery with a slave. There was no question about her guilt and so without an attempt at defence she put an end to her life. At this same time the Clity a tribe subject to the Capitose retreated to the heights of Mount Taurus because they were compelled in Roman fashion to render an account of their revenue and submit to tribute. There they defended themselves by means of the nature of the country against the king's unwarlike troops. To Marcus Trebellius whom Vitellius the governor of Syria sent as his lieutenant with four thousand legionaries and some picked auxiliaries surrounded with his lines occupied by the Barbarians the lesser of which was named Cardra the other Devarra those who dared to sally out he reduced to surrender by the sword the rest by drought. To Radartes meanwhile with the consent of the Parthians received the submission of Nicaforium Anthemosius and the other cities which having been founded by Macedonians claim Greek names also of the Parthian towns Haleus and Artemita there was a rivalry of joy among the inhabitants who detested Art of Barnas bred as he had been among the Scythians for his cruelty and hoped to find into Radartes a kindly spirit from his Roman training. Seleucia a powerful and fortified city which had never lapsed into barbarism but had clung loyally to its founder Seleucus assumed the most marked tone of flattery. 300 citizens chosen for wealth or wisdom form a kind of senate and the people have powers of their own when both act in concert they look with contempt on the Parthians as soon as they are at discord and the respective leaders invite aid for themselves against their rivals the allies summoned to help a faction crushes them all This had lately happened in the reign who for his own interest put the people at the mercy of the nobles As a fact popular government almost amounts to freedom while the rule of the few approaches closely to a monarch's caprice Seleucia now celebrated the arrival of Tiridartes with all the honors paid to princes of old and all which modern times with the more copious inventiveness have devised which is where at the same time heaped on Art of Bonus as an Arsarchid indeed on his mother's side but as in all else degenerate Tiridartes gave the government of Seleucia to the people soon afterwards as he was deliberating on what day he should inaugurate his reign he received letters from Friarities and Harrow who held two very powerful provinces imploring a brief delay it was thought best to wait for men for such commanding influence and meanwhile Ctesiphon the seat of Empire was their chosen destination but as they postponed their coming from day to day the Serena in the presence of an approving throng crowned Tiridartes according to the national usage with the royal diadem and now had he instantly made his way to the heart of the country and to its other tribes the reluctance of those who wavered would have been overpowered and all to a man would have yielded by besieging a fortress into which Art of Bonus had conveyed his treasure and his concubines he gave them time to disown their compact Friarities and Harrow with others who had not united in celebrating the day fixed for the coronation some from fear some out of jealousy of abdigeces who then ruled the court and the new king transferred their allegiance to Art of Bonus they found him in Hercania covered with filth and procuring sustenance with his bow he was at first alarmed under the impression that treachery was intended but when they pledged their honour that they had come to restore to him his dominion his spirit revived and he asked what the sudden change meant Harrow then spoke insultingly of the boyish years of Tiridartes hinting that the throne was not held by an Ars Arquit but that a mere empty name was enjoyed by a feeble creature bred in foreign effeminacy while the actual power was in the house of abdigeces an experienced king Art of Bonus knew that men do not necessarily feign hatred because they are false infringement he delayed only while he was raising auxiliaries in Scythia and then pushed on in haste thus anticipating the plots of enemies and the fickleness of friends wishing to attract popular sympathy he did not even cast off his miserable garb he stooped to wiles and to entreaties to anything indeed by which he might allure the wavering and confirm the willing he was now approaching the neighbourhood of Scythia with a large force while Tiridartes, dismayed by the rumour and then by the king's presence in person was divided in mind and doubted whether he should march against him or prolong the war by delay those who wished for battle with its prompt decision argued that ill-arrayed levees fatigued by a long march could not even in heart be thoroughly united in obedience traitors and enemies as they had lately been to the prince whom now again they were supporting Abdigeces however advised a retreat into Mesopotamia there with a river in their front they might in the interval summoned their aid the Armenians and Elimians to other nations in their rear and then reinforced by allies and troops which would be sent by the Roman general they might try the fortune of war this advice prevailed for Abdigeces had the chief influence and Tiridartes was a coward in the face of danger but their retreat resembled a flight the Arabs made a beginning and then the rest went to their homes or to the camp of Art Barnas till Tiridartes returned to Scythia with a few followers who moved all from the disgrace of desertion that same year Rome suffered from a terrible fire and part of the circus near the Aventine hill was burnt as well as the Aventine quarter itself this calamity the emperor turned to his own glory by paying the values of the houses and blocks of tenements a hundred million of Cisterces was expended in this munificence a boon all the more acceptable to the populace as Tiberius was rather sparing in building at his private expense he raised only two structures even at the public cost the temple of Augustus and the stage of Pompey's theatre and when these were completed he did not dedicate them either out of contempt for popularity or from his extreme age for commissioners all husbands of the emperor's granddaughters Nius Demisius Cassius Longinus Marcus Vinicius Rebellius Blandus were appointed to assess the damage in each case and Publius Petronius was added to their number on the nomination of the consuls various honors were devised and creed to the emperor such as each man's ingenuity suggested it is a question which of these he rejected or accepted as the end of his life was so near for soon afterwards Tiberius's last consuls Nius Acheronius and Caius Pontius entered on office macro's power being now excessive every day the man cultivated more assiduously than ever the favour of Caius Caesar which indeed he had never neglected and after the death of Claudia who had, as I have related been married to Caius he had prompted his wife Enya to unveil the young prince by a pretence of love and to bind him by an engagement of marriage and the lad provided he could secure the throne shrunk from no conditions for though he was of an excitable temper he had thoroughly learnt the falsehoods of hypocrisy under the loving care of his grandfather this the emperor knew and he therefore hesitated about bequeathing the empire first between his grandsons of these the son of Drusus was nearest in blood and natural affection but he was still in his childhood Germanicus's son was in the vigor of youth and enjoyed the people's favour a reason for having his grandfathers hatred Tiberius had even thought of Claudius as he was of sedate age and had a taste for liberal culture but a weak intellect was against him if however he would seek a successor outside of his house he feared that the memory of Augustus and the name of the Caesars would become a laughing stock at a scorn it was in fact not so much popularity in the present for which he cared as for glory in the future perplexed in mind exhausted in body he soon left destiny a question to which he was unequal though he threw out some hints from which it might be inferred that he foresaw what was to come he taunted macro in no obscure terms with forsaking the setting and looking to the rising sun once too when Caesars in a casual conversation ridiculed Lucius Sulla he predicted to him that he would have all Sulla's vices but even one of his virtues at the same moment he embraced the younger of his two grandsons with a flood of tears and noting the savage face of the other said you will slay this boy and will be yourself slain by another but even one his strength was fast failing he gave up none of his debaucheries in his sufferings he would simulate health and was wont to jest at the arts of the physician and at all who after the age of 30 bequire another man's advice to distinguish between what is beneficial or hurtful to their constitutions at Rome meanwhile were being sown the seeds of bloodshed to come even after Tiberius's death Acutea formerly the wife of Publius Vitelius had been accused of treason by Lilius Balbus when on her condemnation a reward was being voted to her prosecutor Junius Otho, tribune of the people interposed his veto hence a feud between Vitelius and Otho ending in Otho's banishment then Albuquila notorious for the number of her lovers who had been married to Satrius Secundus the betrayer of the late conspiracy was charged with irreverence towards the emperor with her were involved as her accomplices and paramours Nius Demisius Vibius Marces and Lucius Aruntius I have already spoken of the illustrious rank of Demisius Marces too was distinguished by the honours of his ancestors and by his own attainments it was however stated in the notes of the proceedings furnished of the senate that macro had superintended the examination of the witnesses and the torture of the slaves and the fact that there was no letter from the emperor against the defendants caused a suspicion that while he was very feeble and possibly ignorant of the matter the charge was to a great extent invented to gratify macro's well known enmity against Aruntius and so Demisius and Marces prolonged their lives Demisius preparing his defense Marces having apparently resolved on starvation Aruntius when his friends advised delay and temporizing replied that the same conduct was not becoming in all persons he had had enough of life and all he regretted was that he had endured amid scorn and peril an old age of anxious fears long detested by Sagenius now by macro always indeed by some powerful minister not for any fault but as a man who could not tolerate gross iniquities granted the possibility of passing safely through the few last days of Tiberius how was he to be secure under the youth of the coming sovereign was it probable that when Tiberius with his long experience of affairs was under the influence of absolute power wholly perverted and changed Chia Caesar who had hardly completed his boyhood was thoroughly ignorant and bred under the wireless training would enter on a better course with macro for his guide who having been selected for his superior wickedness to crush Sagenius had by yet more numerous crimes been the scourge of the state he now foresaw a still more galling slavery and therefore sought to flee alike from the past and from the impending future while he thus spoke like a prophet he opened his veins what followed will be a proof that Arunius rightly chose death a book killer having stabbed herself with an ineffectual wound and his order carried off to prison those who had ministered to a profligacy Carcidius Saccados and ex-Prytor and Pontius Fregalanus were sentenced respectively to transportation to an island and to loss of a senator's rank alike punishment was adjudged in the case of Lilius Belbus and indeed with intense satisfaction as Belbus was noted for his savage eloquence and his eagerness to assail the innocent about the same time Sextus Papinius who belonged to a family of consular rank chose a sudden and shocking death by throwing himself from a height the cause was ascribed to his mother who, having been repeatedly repulsed in her overtures had at last by her arts and seductions drove him to an extremity from which he could find no escape but death she was accordingly put on her trial before the senate and although she groveled at the knees of the senators and long urged of parents' grief the greater weakness of a woman's mind under such an affliction and other sad and pitful pleas of the same painful kind she was after all banished from Rome for ten years till her younger son would have passed the frail period Tiberius's bodily powers were now leaving him but not his skill in dissembling there was the same stern spirit he had his words and looks under strict control and occasionally would try to hide his weakness evident as it was by a forced politeness after frequent changes of place he at last settled down on the promontory of mycenum in a country house once owned by Lucius Lucullus there it was noted in this way that he was drawing near his end there was a physician distinguished in his profession of the name of Charakles usually employed not indeed to have the direction of the emperor's varying health but to put his advice at immediate disposal this man as if he were leaving on business his own clasped his hand with a show of homage and touched his pulse Tiberius noticed it whether he was displeased and strove the more to hide his anger is a question at any rate he ordered the banquet to be renewed and sat at the table longer than usual by way apparently of showing honour to his departing friend Charakles however assured Macro that his breath was failing and that he would not last more than two days all was at once hurry there were conferences among those on the spot and dispatches to the generals and armies on the 15th of March his breath failing he was believed to have expired and Charakles Caesar was going forth with a numerous throng of congratulating followers to take the first possession of the emperor when suddenly news came that Tiberius was recovering his voice and sight and calling for persons to bring him food to revive him from his faintness then ensued a universal panic and while the rest fled hither and thither everyone feigning grief or ignorance Charakles Caesar in silent stupor passed from the highest hopes to the extremity of apprehension Macro nothing daunted ordered the old emperor to be smothered and a huge heap of clothes and all to quit the entrance hall and so died Tiberius in the 78th year of his age Nero was his father and he was on both sides descended from the Claudian house though his mother passed by adoption first into the Livian then into the Julian family from earliest infancy perilous vicissitudes were his lot himself in exile he was the companion of a prescribed father and on being admitted as a stepson into the house of Augustus he had to struggle with many rivals so long as Marcellus and Agrippa and subsequently Caus and Lucia Caesar were in their glory again his brother Drusus enjoyed in a greater degree the affection of the citizens but he was more than ever on dangerous ground after his marriage with Julia whether he tolerated or escaped from his wife's profligacy on his return from Rome on his return from Rhodes he ruled the emperor's now airless house for 12 years and the Roman world with absolute sway for about 23 his character too had its distinct periods it was a bright time in his life and reputation while under Augustus he was a private citizen or held high offices a time of reserve and crafty assumption of virtue long as Germanicus and Drusus were alive again while his mother lived he was a compound of good and evil he was infamous for his cruelty though he veiled his debaucheries while he loved or feared sojenas finally he plunged into every wickedness and disgrace when fear and shame being cast off he simply indulged his own inclinations note the four following books in the beginning of book 11 which are lost contains the history of a period of nearly 10 years from 8037 to 8047 these years included the reign of Caesars the son of Germanicus by the elder Agrippina and the first six years of the reign of Claudius Caesars reign was three years three months and eight days in duration Claudius Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus the brother of Germanicus succeeded him at the age of 50 and reigned from AD 41 to AD 54 the 11th book of the annals opens with the seventh year of Claudius's reign the power of his wife Messalina was then at its height she was it seems jealous of a certain Popia Sabina who is mentioned in book 13 as having surpassed in beauty all the ladies of her day this Popia was the daughter of the Popia Sabinas alluded to in book 6 and the mother of the more famous Popia afterwards the wife of the Emperor Nero Messalina contrived to involve this lady at her lover Valerius Asiaticus in a ruinous charge Asiaticus had been twice consul once under Caesars Caesar a second time under Claudius in AD 46 he was rich as well as noble the 11th book as we have it begins with the account of his prosecution by means Messalina who with the help of Lucius Vitelius Vitelius father of the Vitelius afterwards emperor affected his ruin end of note end of book 6 recording by Andrew Coleman


I just have to start by saying that I wasn't actually going to come out here dribbling because I thought I'd be too nervous, which I was. And then at the last minute, I thought it would be cool to enter juggling. So an hour ago, I ran across the street and I thought, where am I going to get a football? And there was a waiter standing outside the restaurant and I ran up to him and I asked him, do you have a football or does anyone have a football? And he said, hold on one minute. And he ran inside and he went back into the kitchen and spoke to the chef, spoke to someone back there. He was outside of the kitchen with a football in his hand and he handed it to me and he said, go, go, go, go. So I said, I stand here tonight before you, representing the voice of one among many female football players in Brazil attempting to carve a space for ourselves within a historically male sport. I also stand here as a carrier of many of these voices and it's a privilege to be here. I first came to Brazil eight years ago to play professional football for Santos and it quickly became evident that the nation of football was not the nation of women's football. We wore the jerseys of the men's team from seven years prior. We walked 45 minutes to get to practice, no bus, often tired feet by the time we got there. We stayed up late at night washing our uniforms by hand in the outdoor sinks. We were fed different food than the men's team. The only thing we had in common with the men's team was our team name. My teammate shared stories with me of the struggles they faced to be accepted as female players and I soon learned the word preconceito or prejudice around the women's game. Although the ban that prohibited women from playing the sport in Brazil was lifted in 1979, female players continued to struggle with cultural stigma. Female players were marginalized and discriminated against, marked as other. Female bodies acting in this space were seen as gender deviant and thus met with lots of cultural disapproval. But recently we've been seeing a shift starting to occur. The women's game in Brazil is starting to move in from the margins to the mainstream. Silver medal at the last two Olympics, Marta, the world's best player, a Brazilian, has now become a national icon. New women's pro teams springing up across the nation, media coverage increasing, fathers encouraging daughters to play, more fans. I went back to Santos recently and walked down the street with our team jacket on and I had men running up to me asking for my autograph. The same streets where we were once entirely invisible or worse yet laughed at and trivialized. It appears as though women's entrance into this historically male space has started to dislodge gender stereotypes and we see signs of progress. But when we look more closely, we see something else occurring. As women are being accepted into this space, they're also being expected to take on a new image or rather a traditional image of femininity. I reconnected with a lot of my old teammates recently and was surprised to see that the entire team had grown their hair long. Even Fabiana, who always had short hair. And I turned and I said, what happened? Did somebody tell you to grow your hair long? And she said, no, no, I started growing it long and the other girls started encouraging me saying that it looked really pretty and that I should keep letting it grow because it would be good for the image of our sport. She said the club even tried to get us to wear tighter uniforms but it didn't work because we couldn't move our arms to run. So although the cultural stigma and so I said what's happening and what's happening is the women's game in Brazil is being feminized. We're in only a feminine version of the game is being accepted and only this female player is being allowed inside if she recreates her identity in this manner. So although the cultural stigma is starting to fade, the exclusion of the preconceito is reconfiguring itself and imposing itself on the only place left, the female body. The body of the female athlete is being policed. It's being shaped, regulated and controlled by the intensification of feminine expectations. So although we see new roles, gender roles emerging here, old gender norms and ideas are finding ways to persist under the surface. Shall we conclude then that women's football in Brazil is not serving as a source of empowerment for female players? Well no, not exactly because the interesting thing about oppression is that it's always rife with contradictions, tensions, ambiguities and resistance. Female players are experiencing their bodies and identities in complex ways and developing a diverse array of strategies for navigating these tensions. She expresses agency through the labor that she exerts and embodies on the field and she develops a sense of solidarity with those around her. But she works just as hard simultaneously at another form of bodily labor, performing the appropriate balance of femininity within this still suspiciously masculine arena. Hair, nails, gestures become her tools. She crosses her legs for the interview but not on the bench.  I recently turned to one of my teammates and I asked her and I said, what's happening? The image with the image of the game is shifting around women's football. She said to me, yeah, Katie, we're taking on a more feminine image because it's helping us. It's helping our sport and us become more popular. But she said, this femininity doesn't necessarily say anything about me. We use it. I use it too. But what are the sacrifices involved here? How much identity is being lost? How much exploitation is present? The deeper structures aren't changing so the individual maneuvers around them and changes herself. Well, at what point do we need to start thinking about changes in the deeper structures? Changes that will truly loosen up space for individual expression. It starts now and it starts here by problematizing our thinking on gender indifference. And this is why I'm here. This is the Gehres Project and now you're part of the dialogue. Thanks.

You might not know it, but today there are more UN troops than any other type of uniformed forces deployed in conflict zones in the world. More than American, more than French, more than NATO and the African Union, more than all of those combined. So we have more than 100,000 UN peacekeepers deployed in conflict zones. They're deployed across 16 different operations. Of these 16 missions, we have nine multi-dimensional missions. And what that means is these are missions that are trying not only to monitor ceasefire lines, but also to reconstruct the very institutions of the state and to knit the social fabric and economic systems together again. Now, for many years the UN was extremely successful. We might not know that from reading the press or even from reading scholarly analyses of peacekeeping, but for many years the UN was regularly implementing these difficult, massive, complex, multi-dimensional missions. So from the end of the Cold War through the mid-2000s, we had the UN implementing one of these mandates at the rate of one every other year, seven and all, Namibia, El Salvador, Mozambique, Cambodia, Eastern Slavonia, which is in Croatia, East Timor and Sierra Leone.  Since 2005, it's been over 10 years since the UN has implemented another one of its multi-dimensional mandates. And so the question is why? Why is the UN no longer able to do what it used to do on a regular basis? What changed? There are many different answers to this question, but the one that I want to focus on is that we've confused peacekeeping and peace enforcement. UN peacekeeping was never designed to work by using force. UN peacekeepers were designed to help implement peace agreements. So the first step that we need is to negotiate peace agreements. And once we've negotiated peace agreements, then we can deploy peacekeepers to help implement them. The essence of the problem is that the UN is being asked to enforce the peace when it's incapable of using force. The UN is being asked to do something that it's incapable of doing, and it doesn't have the legitimacy to do it. Single states and regional organizations are capable and effective at enforcing the peace, but the UN is not. What we need to do is separate, divide the labor. But what we have right now are peacekeepers deploying before there's a peace agreement, where there's no peace to keep. And what we need to do is look at the previous cases of success, where the UN effectively kept the peace, because it had the preconditions. There was a peace agreement, if there was a need to use force, other entities used force. And then the UN was able to do what it does very well, which is to implement multi-dimensional peacekeeping agreements.


Hey everyone, this is Dan with my very first video on the exchange traded fund TMV. The market has not been doing well lately, as you might know already. Since the beginning of the year, SPY has been down 6% and QQQ has been down 13%. TMV, on the other hand, is up 43% since the beginning of the year. So what is TMV? Let's get into the details. First of all, to put things into perspective, we need to understand that back on March 17, 2022, the Fed announced that they were going to increase the Fed funds rate by 0.25%. And they expect to be increasing the Fed funds rate at least 6 times for the rest of the year. If you look at the chart for the Fed funds rate since 1980, you can see that it went as high as about 19%, in the last 10 years it's been coming down steadily, and now currently is here, which is about 0.33%. This is the chart showing the movement of SPY, which is packed to the S&P 500, and QQQ, which is packed to the Nasdaq 100, and show how they moved since the beginning of the year. So you can see SPY actually went down by 6.31%, whereas QQQ went down by 13.08% since the beginning of the year. On the other hand, the ETF, TMV went up by a whopping 43%, certainly that would have been a very good investment had you bought TMV in the beginning of the year, although it's not too late to buy it yet. I will talk more about that in the next few minutes. This point here is when the Fed announced the rate hike back on March 17, and after that announcement, you can see that TMV went flat or went down a little bit, and then after that it shot up. And my prediction that it will continue to go up, I will talk more about that. What is TMV? TMV is an exchange-traded fund created by Direxion, and is related to the 20-plus year treasury bills. Basically when the 20-year rate goes up, TMV goes up in value as well. There is an inverse twin of TMV, which is TMF. In other words, when the 20-year rate goes up and TMV goes up, TMF goes down. That's why if you want to swing trade interest rates, you can buy and sell TMV and TMF at different times. In the last couple of minutes, we mentioned quite a few things. We talked about the Fed funds rate, the 20-year treasury rate, and the ETF TMV. The general understanding is that because of high inflation rate as measured by CPI, the Consumer Price Index, which is at about 8% now, the Fed is now compelled to raise Fed funds rate to bring down inflation. As the Fed funds rate goes up, it causes the 20-year treasury rate and other interest rates to go up. Because TMV is paid to the 20-year rate, when the 20-year rate goes up, TMV also goes up. And that's the relationship among these different elements. We will spend the next few minutes to verify whether these rates are closely correlated with each other. We'll look at the charts. We'll also try to predict how high the Fed funds rate and the 20-year rate might go up in the next few months, so that we can predict how high TMV might go up in the next few months. Stay tuned. Let's compare the movement of the 20-year treasury bills and TMV and see how well they correlate with each other. As you can see, since the beginning of the year, this is the movement of the yield of the 20-year treasury bills, and this is the movement of TMV. The two lines look almost identical in shape. That's why there's a pretty good correlation between the two instruments, and the red line here indicates where the Fed made the announcement on rate high back on March 17. During this time, the 20-year yield went up by 40%, and TMV went up by 43%. If you like what you've seen so far, I'd like to encourage you to click the like, subscribe and notification button. This will enable you to be notified when I publish my next video. It will also encourage me to make more videos like this in the future. Thank you very much. Let's continue. These are interesting things to cover in the next few minutes. Let's look at the movement of the 20-year treasury for the last 10 years. Currently, we're at this point with about 2.8% yield, but in the last 10 years, the yield was as high as about 3.7%, that means compared to this peak in the last 10 years, the yield can go up by at least another 20-30%. Similarly, my prediction is that TMV can easily go up another 20-30% in the next few months. Now if you look back further in the timeline, going all the way back to 1994, you'll see that back in 1995, the 20-year treasury yield was as high as 8%, and compared to where we are now, it looks like if we went back to that condition, TMV and also the treasury yield will easily double. Since the Fed is increasing the interest rate because they want to control CPI, let's look at historically how the CPI is correlated to the Fed funds rate. On the top chart here, we're showing the CPI, which is currently at 8%, and on the bottom chart, we're looking at the Fed funds rate, and currently is at 0.33%. You can see that back in the 1960s, the CPI was pretty low, and then it started to creep up, and sure enough, the Fed started to raise interest rates to control the inflation rate, and then eventually CPI crossed the 8% line around 1974, and at that point, the interest rate was at 10% already, compared to 0.33% today, and that's why a lot of people are saying that the Fed is already behind the curve, as far as increasing rates to try to control inflation. Even with the Fed being so aggressive raising the rate back in the 1970s, there was still a lagging effect that basically the inflation rate didn't start to come down until at least a couple of months after the Fed has increased the interest rate, as we can see here, and then the rate eventually started to come down, the inflation rate in 1975, 76, and so on, and correspondingly, the interest rate started to come down, and then inflation started to shoot up again, and then the Fed had to follow with rate hikes, eventually inflation went as high as 15%, and the Fed funds rate went as high as 20%, 21%, which is really high compared to what we have today, and then finally the inflation rate went down, and the interest rate went down. Again, the two charts here show us that there's a lot of room for the inflation rate and the Fed funds rate to move up in the next couple years, if the same thing is going to happen like what happened back in the 1970s and 1980s. Let's look at how the 20-year Treasury yield correlates with the Fed funds rate. If you look at the chart here all the way back from 1960 to today, you can see the two lines pretty much correlate well with each other. What will bring down the interest rates? When would it stop? First of all, if the inflation rate is down to 3% to 4%, then the Fed will have no reason to raise interest rates anymore, and that's when the value of TMV will flatten out and eventually it will start to drop. And by the way, I already bought TMV back on March 17, I'm still holding those shares, I'll talk a little bit more about that. The other scenario is that if the unemployment rate gets higher than 7% to 8%, which will cause the Fed to want to stimulate economy to increase employment, in that situation the Fed will probably not worry about inflation for the short term and will just reduce the rate to stimulate economy. Or when there's extreme unrest in the rest of the world, for example, if there's a market crash in Europe or there's a market crash in Asia, then the foreign investors will probably buy you as treasuries as a safety investment, which will then bit down the yield of the treasuries. Usually when that happens, it's a short term phenomenon, it will last for about 3 to 6 months. So this is not a long term type of possible scenario. To get a better understanding of the macro situation, I'd like to refer you to the YouTube video I posted on January 30, when I talked about my outlook for the market for this year. Generally speaking, my outlook is bearish because the fact that the Fed is going to be having 6 to 7 rate hikes this year. In that video, I looked at the month-to-month change in the Fed asset. The green line here is the rate of increase of Fed assets. The rate of increase has been reducing, and I compared that to the SPY. As you can see, the SPY resided the dip since December of last year because of the aggressive action from the Fed by tapering and also now with the interest rate increase. In the same video, I did a step-by-step analysis of the time period between 1978 and 1984 when the Fed was aggressively trying to control inflation by increasing interest rate. As you can see here, I was comparing the CPI with the Fed funds rate with the unemployment rate and S&P 500. During that time, S&P 500 was down at 1.21% before the inflation rate was brought under control. In the meanwhile, the Fed funds rate here indicated about a green line went from about 6% to 7% to as high as 17%.

For example, on February 18th, I said I bought SQQQQ and actually I've been swing trading SQQQQ and I've been making profit, and on February 22nd, I bought UNG, the natural gas ETF, which has been going up pretty nicely. Even on March 17th, I said I bought TMV shares and I still hold those shares so far it's up 12% already. And on March 30th, I bought XLE, which has also been going up in value.

So let's get on to the meat of the presentation. First of all, what does it provide? Well, this is, of course, familiar to any argument to a user or any argument to one user already. Archiment provides you a language with concepts to describe enterprise architectures. And it has its in-built framework for organizing these concepts. And I will show you how this framework has evolved over the years. Of course, Archiment provides a notation for these concepts. So it provides you with a way of graphically displaying your architecture. But it also has its vision and visualization of architecture for different stakeholders. So this notation is not the only way you can display these models. You might want to use other ways of doing that. And later on in my presentation, I will also patch upon that when we are going to talk about viewpoints. And finally, of course, it's an open standard maintained by the open group. But since you're attending an open group webinar, you will know about that. So why did we develop a new version of Archiment? Developers of the new version started about two years ago. And over the last few years, since version two came out, we saw an increasing demand for relating enterprise architecture to business strategy. More and more organizations have recognized that PA is not just an IT thing, but it's really a way of realizing your strategy of implementing a strategy. And vice versa also, a feedback mechanism up towards the strategy. So architecture should be connected better to the strategic world. Secondly, we see that there are a lot of technology innovations that mix IT and the physical world. Say, for example, the internet of things. In Archimate 2, it was possible to model the internet, but we didn't have any concept for the things. So the physical world is something we needed to add. And also in more traditional domains, like manufacturing or logistics or other, say, physically-based companies, we see increased usage of enterprise architecture. So we wanted to support those domains with concepts from modeling the physical world as well. Then of course, in applying a language like Archimate and Practice, you always discover some inconsistencies or things that could be improved or various areas in which we wanted to improve the usability and make it easier for people to understand the language. And finally, of course, the open group has more standards than just Archimate. And we wanted to improve the alignment between these standards. And of course, most importantly in the enterprise architecture domain is Toga. So there was already a project working on harmonization between Archimate and Toga for the last two years, looking at definitions, et cetera. So that's also been input to this new version. I won't read out all the definitions to you. Don't worry about that. But you can find in the standard the differences and see which definitions have been improved at. So first of all, the Archimate framework. Well, those of you who are familiar with Archimate know that its core is constructed of three different aspects, as we call them. We have the access structure aspect, which comprises the subjects of the sentence, if you want to put it in grammatical terms. In this case, John. We have the behavior, the verbs in the sentence. So in this case, John reads. And what does he read? He reads a book. And the book is object. So this active structure behavior, the passive structure, that's really the core of the structure of the language. That has been like this ever since the inception of Archimate. And in its first version, we have these three layers of business application and technology, which were, and perhaps still are, the most common layers you see in enterprise architecture approaches. Some people might say you want to have an information layer there as well, but it's very important to know that Archimate uses this passive structure column to position information architecture. So it's not a separate layer, but it's integrated across these three layers. So the information really resides in the passive structure aspect and not in a separate layer. So this was Archimate 1. This was where we started when Archimate was transferred to the open group. This was what was developed in the R&E project that I met between 2002 and 2004, as I've already mentioned. But then when people started working with Archimate, they discovered that it did cover the core of the architecture but it didn't cover the motivation behind the architecture, things like your goals and your principles and your requirements. So that's the first addition we made. And of course, you also want to describe how an architecture should be implemented, so which steps to take, plateaus, which work packages should implement parts of that. So those were the two main additions to Archimate in version two, demotivation and implementation and migration extensions, as they were then called. Later on, I will talk about the word extension. We're not going to use it anymore in Archimate 3, but I'll leave that for now. So where are we now? Well, first of all, like I mentioned at the start, people are increasingly using enterprise architecture in a more strategic context. And of course, many people ask for concepts in this area already for the last years and perhaps capability as a concept is the most prominent one. We'll talk about that later on. So we now have some more strategic concepts to link architecture to where the organization wants to go. And secondly, we have this layer of physical concepts. And as I already said in my introduction, this is tightly integrated with the IT world since we see that physical technology often is IT-based as well. The Internet of Things is just one example, but most equipment nowadays is computer control. So it's really tightly coupled to the technology layer. I will discuss it later on as well. So this is now the new framework for Archimate 3. So these different areas are now covered by the language and that's what we'll zoom in on in the rest of this talk.


Oh, he's, he's gone, he's gone. Ah! Gee, my god! Ha ha ha ha! Roshi, calm down, man! How's it going, everybody? Dot, did I hear back with some more Dragon Ball fighters, rank matches? This time, playing a team of Ultra Instinct Goku, Krillin and Yamcha. And speaking of Ultra Instinct, it seems we're going up against an opponent who is the rank of Ultra Instinct, who's also playing characters like Roshi and Vegeta Blue. Two characters that are super interesting, and obviously, Vegeta Blue's a lot better now. Ooh, sorry, I tensed up like that. I thought I was about to get hit by that Roshi assist. I just got done playing this guy. Ha ha ha! Do I tech? Nah, we don't tech. We don't tech right away. I'm looking for a Dragon Rush. Oh no! No, that was supposed to be a counter. Am I dead here? Is this a two-touch? Nah, it's not. We actually got out. Ha ha! Oh, there it is! But I've still got it, dude. The tech is too strong. I really do feel like that is just so cheap that you could just down tech, get away with that in the scramble. Oh, nice. Ooh, we waited too long, though. Oh, he does hit me with the 6M overhead with Sparking.  It's going to be close, but it's probably going to air on the side of killing. It's still going to be close. Hey! Not tech. Don't tech. Ah! I should have teched. I didn't think he'd throw a ki blast out. All right, our only advantage now is that we do have Sparking. Nice. He tried it. He thought I was going to keep jumping, and I was. I just jumped back. So we got pretty lucky there that we avoided the Thunder Shock attack. Hopefully we can keep that kind of energy up. Oh, back dash heavy. No, this is where I spark. Oh, nice. He gave it twice to us. That was incredible. I'm upset about it. The double DP. Roshi, why are you built like this? No, I'll take that. I will take that. Seven frames. You know this is bad. Nice. Just got to try to outpace him here. We just got to try to get in all the damage we can.  Nice, meaty. Don't hit a button. Two bars, that looks good enough for me. The question is, is it a one-bar kill? Nah, but that's fine. I will easily spend two. I wonder if it could have been a one-bar kill if we instantly went for Destructor Disc, but I was not going to chance it. I do not want to lose another knockout. Oh, doesn't combo off of it. Thunder Shock. Clean. Superdash to continue that combo. Down tech. I thought I blocked it. That actually surprised me. I didn't hit a button there. That was just me messing up. Oh, wasn't enough to kill, which means that's fine by me. Yes, the afterimage. We took a chance on it, and it worked. Wow, that was insane. OK, that could have easily just been Krillin dead right there. Instead, now we're down to Vegeta Blue. I have a lot of regrets that I didn't combo off that. Let's go! Let's go! Overheaded to the object. You love to see it. It's a tale as old as time. Oh, true classic. We got to save the assist. Not only can Krillin dispense Sensu beans, but rocks are also just really good. I think we have to take the 2M here. Block it! No guard cancel allowed.  I didn't E-exit. So the delay was the longer. I tried jumping away. That was a bad move. Vegeta's not going to let me get away. Vegeta has no regards for us. Oh, I hit a button coming down. 2H going to anti-air it. Is that? Oh, that is death limit break. Oh, it's not. I got hit low. OK, hold on. Hold on. I'm getting too excited. I'm getting too excited. It's a one-touch game now for everybody. Oh, no. Yep, that was the worst vanish I could have possibly done right there unless he drops it. That was such a rookie vanish right there. I just got nervous. I thought the beam missed. I didn't want to stick around to see if he had a punishment plan for that. I did not want to subscribe to punishment plan weekly. Oh, that was tough. OK, obviously, we can still clean it up a bunch, though. And it won too many counters. If I had landed that, that would have been so sick. Won too many. Don't UI tech. I feel like he's looking for it now. I feel like he is. Really, even the 2H didn't work there? Are we going to lose UI Goku this early? It's unthinkable. It can't happen. It's going to happen. For cheap, too. Yeah, it's just a couple of bars. Man, again, we start off in a very bad position. Was the first game this bad of a position? I don't remember. I don't know. I can't remember. I remember UI Goku doing more, though. I could be wrong. But it's going to come down to Krillin and Yamcha. So I've started off a couple rounds pretty similarly. I don't think it was an excuse to bully me. Are you kidding me? Oh, I didn't know he was plus there. He's got the combos.  Oh, no. Yeah, my vanishing is really bad this set. Wow. In the corner, does it not for the 2H route? Probably didn't trust it. I can't say I blame him. Got to take it. Got to take what I can there. Oh, no. He tried to hit the ejector button twice. I can't believe I let him get away with that. Doesn't really go with a combo, though. Last time he was plus there. I still don't see it. No, none of that. Thank you. Now we're playing from a big disadvantage, though. No sparking. Oh, bad. And I called out Yamcha. Oh, he's gone. He's gone. Bro, she calmed down, man. Oh, my goodness. That was crazy. Oh, that was so crazy. OK, I can't believe that didn't work. I can't believe it. Didn't 2H be there? I'm so worried. I don't even know what to say. Nice. Oh, of course I dropped it. I didn't trust it. I didn't trust myself. I thought I would drop it if I went for the ground route. So I tried to jump and just take it to him. Not to him, a jumping medium. Double overhead. That was sick. Man, I don't know if Krillin can make this comeback. Honestly, with this bar, the differential, no spark. It's going to be rough. Can't use beam. I don't know why I'm using so many beams. OK, we're in. OK, OK. We are limit break Krillin, so that is pretty good. I think we just have to go all in. Even that didn't kill. OK, we got the pity kill. We got a pity kill. That was rough. Oh, man, I'm so nervous. All right, take it easy one step at a time. He's going to try to run up, and I want to. I tried a 2M for some reason. I don't know why. If I'm going to be honest. Don't level 2. I forgot Roshi had that. Oh, I would have talked with much more severity in my voice if I knew I had just died. Oh, limit. We're alive? You old man, you tried to do it again. You crazy old man. This is the craziest master Roshi I've ever seen. Oh, my goodness. I didn't think he would do that. Wow. Oh, man, what a game. Roshi. All right, we actually found that same Roshi player again. So even though Arx has tried to take away our unlimited rematches, I was not plus there. Darn. Even though Arx has tried to take it away, we're still here. I'm so worried about this Roshi, dude. That was crazy to me. Low? OK, good. We got that. Nice. Get him off me. That was not supposed to be a tag, but at least it worked. No, that's key blast. That was crazy. Roshi assist, man. Even that is so good. That assist is busted. That assist is wild. That move is crazy to me. Nice. OK. He was defending. He was high and low. I can see the future. I don't know. High and low really doesn't interest me. But OK, we cracked them open eventually with the dragon rush. It took some time. We definitely took a lot of risk, too. But now we add a cross-up to the mix. Let me see if you can defend that. So far, pretty good. Cross-up part two worked, but we just couldn't get it done. Roshi. Even in seven frames of glory, I got to see that one go through. Oh, Bardock got away, too. OK, we got to make sure Yamcha gets out of here. Yeah, we can't afford to be getting mixed right now. Right now, Yamcha does not want to come to the phone to get mixed. He was, I knew it. I knew he could do that. I thought I didn't want to let him get away with doing anything else. So this is fine. We took this punishment. We knew it was an option that could happen. Got the raw tag at least. But it's very hard to say that this is clean. Oh, no tech. Oh, we missed the Gale Claws as well. We lose a character first. We also got sparking down. Rough. We couldn't finish off Bardock, and now we're paying the ultimate price. Having to defend. Finish. Man, I cannot just get to this Bardock seven frames again. I can't get to this Bardock, dude. The Roshi assist is stopping me in my tracks. Oh, that was it, too, darn. Not level three. Not level three. Oh, no, the sausage thing. Oh, the great incident of 2020. I just hit two buttons at once. Oh, my thumb. Just dancing across the pad, not listening to any instructions. All right, hold on, hold on. We got a course correct. We got a course to correct here. That was awful. OK, we got a character down. We got a character down. We just got to improve it, man. We got to get, OK, at least master where she's at. Last time he electrified us, that actually sucked. That one sucked. I feel like I tried to back up. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I know we're weak, I know we're weak, I know we're weak. Damn it. That aftermage move. Nobody uses it anyway. It's such a good move, dude. It's definitely a sleeper move. If you use it too much, you're going to be like, well, this move's not that good. But in like, it's like, I don't know how to describe it. It's like just going for, I'm trying to think of the perfect analogy. Man, it's really not coming to mind. I guess it's just like going for Goku's 2.6L, or Super Saiyan Goku's overhead, without just the light version. It's like going for that, I guess. But man, in the clutch, that is ridiculously good. Oh, I got stood up and got punished. Hold on. We can adjust. I took a big risk. Why I'm taking huge risk? Man, now it's 5 frames. He's comboing your 5 frames. He's seeing the code. He can see it to the data. Bring it on. Oh, a bad start, really bad start. Are we just going to get cleaned out again? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I can do this. Where's Roshi assist? I can practically, the Roshi assist is just, it's such a lockout. I can't super dash.  Oh, I stood up too. And the range is also pretty good. All right, that was decent. He's got the Dragon Rush here. Dragon Rush or 6M Roshi. Oh, did you see? Wow, Roshi just, he said, you're not going anywhere. Bro, give it up. You're not going anywhere. What, trying to hit the injector? But all right, that hits me standing up. Got to remember that. I am just getting freed up by that. Dude, it's unreal how quickly that stopped. That was also sick, by the way. I don't even, I didn't even really see what happened. But how did he stop me? That was clean. Nice vanish. Oh, my sparky timer, dude. It is just, it is just getting rinsed even with good defense. It's just, it's just, I thought we were dead there too. Oh, come on. Okay, we actually got over Roshi. I was worried about that. Nice, we can't really do too much here, if we're being honest. Oh, Bardock B, stun. Oh, dude, Bardock B and Roshi B, just realized. Just not realizing the damage, the danger I've been in. I am not going anywhere. Dragon Rush, empty dash, Dragon Rush. I didn't see it. This could very well be the end. I'm not giving up though. Yoncha, see through it, Yoncha. See through it, see through it, Yoncha. Let's go, Yoncha. Let's go. Really, he blocked that, okay. Can't block Dragon Rush, you gotta tech those. You have to tech those. I'm not done yet. My confidence is not as shattered as you would think it would be. In fact, it's looking good. My confidence is looking beautiful right now. I'm gonna go for the Dragon Rush. Oh, yep, he was gonna try to defensive me out. He was gonna show me the defense and I know he can block, so I don't wanna test it. I really did not wanna test it. Did we rush things here? Season 3.5, the, oh my, that was the perfect, this man just drew the perfect period on this game. That move is so good. He course corrected.  Let me just, let me school you. That Roshi is insane. That move is really good too.  This is actually like old school fighters. We played for a pretty long time. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it though. If you did, let me know down below in the comment section what your favorite moment was. And hey, also let me know your thoughts of what the best assist in the game is. I don't know if it's Roshi B, but obviously that moves on my mind right now. It's definitely up there for me.
