Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Zopa Stories. I'm Zopa, and tonight, I want to dive into a topic that has always been a part of my life. Paranormal activities. From my earliest memories as a little girl, I found myself caught in the midst of numerous encounters with unexplained. It's like there's this mystery energy swirling around me, and when it's present, things just get downright bizarre and unsettling. Let's get started. I want to take you back to my senior year of high school. It was during this period that I experienced a lot of inexplicable and terrifying things. Even with a jam-packed schedule, filled with extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports, I couldn't escape the clutches of these spine-tingling incidents. It was as if unseen presence were constantly attracted to me, haunting my every step. The strange thing was, I couldn't pinpoint the cause of these eerie happenings. It was a puzzle that kept me awake at night, questioning the nature of my reality. The day began just like any other. There was no indication of the event that was about to take place. It was a Friday night, and after cheering on my friend's basketball game, we decided to keep the celebration going with a late-night meal at Denny's. Since all the other places were closed, it seems like the perfect choice. Little did I know, this seemingly innocent decision was set the state for an eerie encounter.  It scared me, but I tried to stay calm. I looked around, hoping to see what made the sound, but it was too dark to tell. I felt a bit uneasy, so I quickly gathered my things and made my way towards the house. When I got to my room and opened the door, I felt a strange sensation. As soon as the door flung open, a sudden rush of cold air brush past me. As if someone hurriedly entered the room from behind, I instantly felt the temperature drop, but brushed it off, thinking it was just another cold night. I proceeded with my regular bedtime routine, trying to ignore the strange occurrence. I was completely worn out by the time I crawled into bed. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to drift off to sleep. After what felt like hours of lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, I decided to be productive and get some last-minute research done for an upcoming essay. I got out of bed and turned on my computer. As I began my research, I suddenly felt the strange sensation again. I knew something wasn't quite right, but I brushed it off once more. This time, it was just my tired mind playing tricks on me. That's when it happened. Out of nowhere, my computer screen flickered. Then suddenly, a loud thump made me jump out of my chair. I looked around the dark room, trying to figure out what had caused the commotion. That's when I saw it. My plastic laundry basket had fallen to the floor from the closet shelf. I walked over and carefully picked it up, put it back where it belonged, and came back to sat down again. But then, there was another loud crash, and this time, the basket rolled towards me. I couldn't ignore it. I had to figure out what's going on. I got up, turned on the light, and walked over to the closet again, trying to find the reason why the basket fell. I looked around carefully, checking every corner and shelf, but everything seemed to be in its place. There was no obvious reason for why the basket would fall like that, and it left me feeling confused. After finding nothing wrong, I was frustrated, so I grabbed the basket, and angrily threw it back into the closet. But believe it or not, as soon as I turned around, the darn basket flew right out at me.  It was the same creepy laugh that I heard earlier. My fierce skyrocketed, and I felt like I was about to pass out from the sheer terror. My heart was pounding like crazy, and I had this awful feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Keeping my eyes locked on the closet, I slowly bent down to grab the basket from the floor. But what I saw next, oh, that was enough to make my heart skip a beat. I couldn't believe my eyes. There, in the dark corner of my closet, was this freakish creature that gave me the creeps. This thing was no joke. It stood amissly maybe two feet tall, but it looked like it had crawled right out of a horror movie. Its fur was all tangled and sticky, making it even more repulsive. And those eyes, they were huge, dark, and had an airy glow to them. It was like they were peering straight into my soul, never even blinking for a second. To make matters worse, this creature had these long, pointy ears that stood straight up almost a length of its body. They looked so sharp, like they could pierce through anything that got in their way. And don't even get me started on its mouth. It was small, but filled with these razor sharp teeth that sent shivers down my spine. The worst part was its laugh. Oh my goodness, that laugh was the stuff of nightmares. It was so creepy, so bone chilling that it made my whole body trembled. Even thinking about it now gives me goosebumps. Believe me, encountering that creature was one hell of a terrifying experience. It's something I won't forget anytime soon. The whole scene was so terrifying that I couldn't help but scream it loudly. It was a piercing sound that brought my mother running into the room, looking really worried. She asked me urgently what was wrong, wanting to know what had happened. I was so scared that I couldn't even explain what I had seen. It was like my mind had gone blank and I couldn't find the right words to describe the unspeakable terror that had paralyzed me. Every time I tried to speak, I just gasped for air, as if something was squeezing my throat. It took a long time for me to calm down and get my thoughts in order. Finally, when I was able to speak again and regain control of my body, I let out a whisper and a shaky voice, telling my mother about the scary thing I saw in my closet. Her face turned really pale just like mine, but she quickly grabbed my flashlight and checked it out. I was so scared as I watched her, too afraid that that thing might just jump out at her and harm her in some type of way. But when she peered into the closet, there was nothing there. The scary thing had vanished and I started to question if I imagined it all. She walked around my room and flipped everything she could, but she found nothing. She didn't say anything to me afterward. She just gave me a look, walked out of my room, and quickly came back. She lit up what appeared to be a sage in a bowl. As she walked around my room, a whisper of smoke filled the air. In my culture, we use red strings for protection against evil, so she called my father to come to tie one around me. My father came in with a soothing voice, chanted special words while tightly knotting the strings around my wrist. Afterward, he went outside and placed branches with green leaves by my windows and doors. This is just to add an extra layer of protection for just in case. After that, everything seemed peaceful, but the memory of what happened stayed with me for months. It was so intense that it became difficult for me to sleep or even enter my room. Whenever I went in, my mind would replay the whole incident repeatedly. However, as days passed, I gradually started to gain control over my fear. From that moment on, I made a decision to avoid coming home late. I didn't want to accidentally encounter anything else and the risk of them following me home again. There's always the possibility of something else more evil and more powerful that can really cause harm to me. As I reflect on that terrifying encounter with the creature, I'm still left with many unanswered questions. I'll never know for sure why it chose to follow me home that night, perhaps drawn to my energy, or maybe it just wanted to play a twisted game of hide and seek. Regardless of its intentions, I'm grateful to have parents that knows how to handle the situation.  She explained that as a child, she had heard the stories but never believed that they were true until I personally experienced it. She was surprised by the details I could provide because she had never shared those stories with us. It frightened her so much but she had to remain strong for my sake. She explained that those creatures only bothered to reveal themselves to the person they follow home. I hope you guys enjoyed this personal story of mine.

What if I end up alone? We're gonna be talking about that in today's video. Let's jump into it. So I think this is a big question. Not only just from my own mind, because I know I've had this thought sometimes, but I've heard it from some of you guys on Instagram with this idea that like, what if I'm alone? What if I end up alone? What if God kind of forgets about me in this area of relationships? What if he never brings anybody for me to marry? What do I need to do to make sure I don't end up alone? What if I'm doing something wrong? Maybe I'm missing out on my opportunity. Maybe all the people around me are getting married. Maybe all these questions and I can sense and I can really identify in my own heart too. There's a sense of anxiety that's associated with this area oftentimes because we want to be in a relationship eventually. We don't want to be alone. We don't wanna be lonely. We wanna have that meaningful connection that we see in other couples in our lives. We want that for ourselves. And we hope God has those things under control, but sometimes we get in this area of, oh no, what if, what if, what if, what if, and then we stop kind of trusting God. And we wonder, maybe I'm leaving a little too much up to God, maybe I gotta take some of this back. And when we start doing that, we start kind of pushing God away from this area of our life and we start making decisions to avoid loneliness instead of making those decisions to really glorify God in this area of our lives and this relationship and finding somebody that you can serve God with and have that meaningful connection with. But instead we often just kind of like, I don't wanna be alone. So we do things that aren't good. And some of these things could be like getting in a relationship when you're not ready or staying with someone when they're not actually good for you, this kind of mentality of saying, well, it's better to stay with him or her than being alone. That's not a place we wanna be. But you know what's really drawing us to that is this idea of fear. The fear that we experience, we don't wanna be alone. We're scared of being alone. So we let that fear dictate our decisions. Well, I'm scared of being alone so I guess I'll stay with him. Or I'm scared of being alone so I'll put up with her even though I think that it's not a good situation. Or maybe I'm scared of being alone and I'm scared that God has kind of forgotten me about me in this area. Maybe I'll just get in a relationship with the first person that kind of likes me. A lot of these decisions aren't healthy and they're not spurred out of a desire to honor God as disciples. But they're more spurred out of a fear. And whenever we make decisions out of fear or purely fear, we're off base. And I can find myself sometimes in life making these decisions where I'm just avoiding something or I'm scared of something so I'm making this decision. We make these decisions because we're scared. I make these decisions because I'm scared. We choose to do things that aren't gonna be helpful for us that God doesn't want us to do just because of our fear. And also the fact that we're having trouble trusting God in this. If we truly trusted God in this area I think our fear would be significantly reduced. You think about it because if I trust God to bring a person to me or put me in the right circumstance where I do meet that person and I'm eventually gonna marry. If I trust God to have that under control then I can be at peace. Then I can serve him on my day to day life not panicking like oh my goodness is everyone getting married? Where am I gonna meet this person? I feel like my pools of people are so limited what's gonna happen? We can be at peace because we trust him. And I think this verse kinda speaks to that it's in Zephaniah 3, 17.  God has things under control. We can trust him. We really can. And I mean for me it's not always easy to trust him. Sometimes I get in that space like I was talking about earlier of anxiety in this area and just being worried about does God have everything under control? Do I need to be doing something or like figure something out or like come up with a strategy plan? That's kinda where my mindset goes. But God has things under control and you can trust him. You can believe him. And that's what I wanna leave you off with this at the end of this video. If you get anything from this video know that God has things under control and you can trust him. He is trustworthy. He won't bring you out to an area and leave you there. He won't forget about your life. He knows your life. He knows your life better than you do. Well, thanks for watching guys. I always appreciate you guys watching my videos here and if you like this video you can hit the like button and subscribe to the channel because we're putting out new videos like this all the time. Comment down below what you think about this video. It's a tough topic to talk about because it brings up a lot of worry and anxiety in some people because we don't wanna end up alone but God has things under control. You can trust him and I'll see you next time. Sounded like VeggieTales there. Anyway, bye.


The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents farewell to Birdie McKeisler, starring June Haver. George Murphy is your host.  One of our great presidents once said, the real reason for universal unrest is not to be found so much in politics and economics as in the sources of the spiritual life of our times. The sum of the whole matter is this, he said. Our civilization cannot survive unless it be redeemed spiritually. The primary hope that we can become less materialistic and more spiritual as men and as nations lies in our turning more to God, all of us. And the first step, it seems to me, is for us to decide that each of our families will henceforth institute the practice of daily family prayer. The family, you know, is the fundamental unit in the world society. And each of its members can be better, can be closer together, and can have more faith in the future if all of us together daily call on God to aid the nation and aid the world. It is not only true that a family which prays together stays together, but also a world at prayer is a world at peace. George Murphy will return at the conclusion of tonight's Family Theatre story farewell to Birdie McKeisler, starring Miss June Haber. Birdie McKeisler had been daydreaming behind the reception desk at Tyler, Flint, Standish and O'Rourke for nearly a year when Mr. Tyler met an amazing discovery. It all came about because Mr. Tyler's secretary was at home with a severe case of prickly heat, and so shaken was Mr. Tyler by his discovery that he felt obliged to call an immediate meeting of the partners. Gentlemen, I wonder if you're aware that the firm of Tyler, Flint, Standish and O'Rourke, a firm noted for its thoroughgoing efficiency down to this smallest detail, has in its employ a young woman who can type only 22 and one half words per minute. No. Incredible. Are you sure? Beyond the shadow of a doubt. I have here on my desk a letter which I gave her to type two hours ago. Two hours, mind you. She just brought it in, and with three erasures. I just can't believe it. It doesn't seem possible. But who is she? The young woman I refer to occupies the reception desk in our outer office. Miss, uh, Miss, uh, McKeisler. Yes, yes, that's it. Birdie McKeisler. McKeisler? McKeisler? McKeisler. The name means nothing to you? Absolutely nothing. First time I ever heard of it. I once knew a Millicent McKeisler in Whopper Caneta, Ohio. Come, come, come now, gentlemen.  Not I. Nor I. Well, O'Roch. You know me better than that. I wouldn't hire even an Irish lass who could type only twenty-two and a half words a minute. Hmm. Strange. Tyler. Yes? You don't suppose she could have been planted here as a subversive element? Oh, I hardly think. I know it seems far-fetched. Still, one can't be too careful. And it's just the sort of trick Flavin, Hepplewhite, Pringle and McGrew would pull. Yes. I have it. Why don't we ask the young lady herself? She ought to know who hired her. Splendid idea, Standish. Nothing like going to the sauce. You wanted to see me, Mr. Tyler? That's right, Miss... McKeisler. Birdie McKeisler. After my Aunt Birdie on my mother's side. Yes. Now, Miss McKeisler, there are a few questions I should like to ask you. Well, you just go right ahead, Mr. Tyler. I shall be glad to help you out in any way I can. First of all, Miss McKeisler, how long have you been working here? Well, it'll be a year next month. That's the longest I've ever worked anywhere. I have no doubt of it. Now, do you recall who it was who hired you? Well, nobody hired me in the proper sense of the word. Oh, but surely someone... Well, you see, it all came about because of my girlfriend, Mercedes McNulty. McNulty? McNulty? That name sounds familiar. Of course. I hired her myself two years ago. Excellent girl. Average well over a hundred words per minute. And as true a friend as you'd find anywhere. Yes, I'm sure of that. But how do you... Well, now, just a year ago next month, Mercedes' grandmother died up in Poughkeepsie. And Mercedes asked me if I'd sit in for her while she was gone. She said there was nothing to it. All I would have to do was say, Good morning, Mr. Tyler. Good morning, Mr. Flint. Good morning, Mr. Standish. And good morning, Mr. O'Rourke. Oh, and answer the phone a few times. That's simple, eh? Yes, sir. And that's just the way it's been, too. Until this morning, that is. You know, it was a real surprise to me when you handed me that letter to type. Yes, it must have been. Oh, but now don't you apologize, Mr. Tyler. Like I said, I'm just glad to help out. I want you to feel free to call on me any time you like. Uh... Thank you. But if you don't mind my asking, just what became of Miss McNeltave? Oh, that. Well, it was at the funeral. Oh, and it was a grand funeral, gentlemen. Mercedes wrote me about it. Flowers all over the place and not a dry eye in the house. Yes, but how do you... Well, now it was at the funeral that she met this young man. And it was love at first sight, gentlemen. So, after a decent interval, out of respect to her grandmother, rest her soul, they were married. And you just stayed on? Well, I thought it was only right. After all, I'd promised Mercedes I'd sit in for her till she came back, hadn't I? Well, yes, but... And I haven't minded it one little bit. Really, I haven't. How have you been paid? Who issued you your checks? There wasn't any trouble about that. The auditor's assistant gave me a slip to sign and my little old checks have been coming along just fine ever since. I see. Thank you, Miss McKeesley. I think that will be all for now. Yes, sir.  She will, of course, have to be dismissed. Oh, naturally. Oh, of course. I suppose she must. You know, though, Tyler, as receptionist, she isn't called upon to do much typing. What I mean is, she was here nearly a year before the occasion arose. Ah, but it did arise, didn't it? Well, yes. There you are, then. Oh, dread it all. It's the principle of the thing. Can't you see that? We've spent years building a reputation for a high standard of efficiency among our employees. Miss McKeesley simply doesn't measure up. Yes, I guess you're right, then. Twenty-two words a minute if wind of that ever got around. Please, let's not even think about it. Well, that's that, then. You'll tell her, I suppose. I? I just thought, well, you brought the matter up in the first place and you are the senior partner. I failed to see what that has to do with it. But who is going to tell her? Well, I had thought I'd turn the matter over to whichever one of you hired her. However, now I... Yes, it does pose a problem. I suppose we could flip for it. Now, wait a minute. Oh, Rourke was the one who hired Miss Pignalti. So indirectly, at least, he is responsible for it. Exactly. But I... Now, since you're the logical one, O'Rourke, you may speak to Miss McKeesler in the morning. Ah, good morning, Miss McKeesler. Oh, Mr. O'Rourke, you were so quiet. I didn't even hear you come in. And you're early, aren't you? Well, the fact is, Birdie, Miss McKeesler, I wondered if I could have a word with you. Why, I can't think of anything I'd enjoy more. Of course, if you're too busy, I... Oh, goodness, no. To tell you the honest truth, there's many a day when I'm hard put to keep myself occupied till it's time to go home. Oh? If you don't mind my saying so, Mr. O'Rourke, you're looking very fit this morning. That's a new tie, isn't it? Yes, yes it is. You like it? Oh, indeed I do. Now, there's a color that really does you justice. My wife gave it to me for our anniversary. Did she? Well, you're a lucky man. It's a true love when a wife picks out a tie that looks well on her husband. It is? Hmm, sure a sign. Well, I'll have to tell Margaret that. Don't tell me your wife's name is Margaret. Oh, yes. Why, that was my own dear mother's name, rest her soul, from County Cork she was. Is that a fact? My father came from Cork. That was a good many years ago, of course. You don't mean it. Oh, yes, indeed. Jamie O'Rourke from County Cork, the use of color. Well, there's no denying it's a small world. Oh, my goodness, look at the time. Here I've been going on like the chatterbox I am and I haven't even got this mail sorted. But never mind, Mr. O'Rourke. You can stop by later and tell me what you wanted to say. Morning, Stanley. Good morning. Morning, O'Rourke. Good morning. What's the matter with you? Out in the wrong side of bed? Oh, say you'd better get the employment agency on the phone. First thing about a replacement for Ms. McKeisler. Tyler. Yes? Well, I haven't exactly told Ms. McKeisler yet that she's leaving us. What? Thank to the matter is, Tyler. I think this may take a little more time than we had thought. More time? What do you mean? What's so difficult about telling an employer that the services are no longer required? It's done every day. I know. And it sounds easy when you say it, but... I'm disappointed in you, O'Rourke. I'm afraid I have no choice but to turn the entire matter over to Standish. Who? Me? Precisely. I'm depending on you to speak to Ms. McKeisler in the morning. Good morning, Ms. McKeisler. Why, good morning, Mr. Standish. How are you today? What? Oh, fine, fine. Just fine. Well, I'm glad to hear that. Ms. McKeisler, are you, uh... are you quite happy working for us? Why, Mr. Standish, how thoughtful of you to ask. But don't you ever worry, I wouldn't dream of working anywhere but here. You wouldn't. Why, no, I'd be an ungrateful fool if I did after all the kindness you gentlemen have showed me. Stopping by to talk to me in the morning the way you do and taking such an interest. I declare I've never seen the likes of it. Yes. Well... Oh, Mr. Standish, something fell out of your pocket. What? Oh, oh dear. I forgot all about that. Young Jackie asked me to mail it. It's some box tops he's sending for an atomic decoding ring or some such thing.  You have a son? I didn't know that. Oh, my yes. I have three. Well, isn't that grand? You wouldn't happen to have a picture of them, would you? Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a couple of snapshots. Oh, would you mind letting me see them? Why, no, not at all. They're right in my wallet here. Uh, not there. That one was taken at camp last summer.   And everyone the spittin' image of his father. You think they take after me? Well, I know them anywhere for yours. What, really? One thing is, most people think that Ronnie, especially, he's the one in the middle here, favors his mother's side of the family. Well, of course, I don't know your wife, but there's no mistaking the set of that chin. And about the eyes, that young man is his father all over again. Well, that's interesting. Indeed, that is interesting. Of course, I don't like to get into any arguments with my in-laws, but the fact is, I have always been of the private opinion. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Oh, good morning, Mr. Tyler. Good morning, Mr. Kislow. Well, Standish? Uh, I, uh... Well, that is, I was just about to go into my office. Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Standish. You forgot your pictures. I wonder if you realize, Mr. Standish, the spectacle you were making of yourself when I walked in that door.  Was it really that bad? Worse. Much worse. Now, top of that, Mrs. Kislow has still not been informed of her dismissal. I know, I know. What in the devil is happening to this firm? We've hired and fired hundreds of people since we started in business, and now, faced with a simple, clear-cut task you and O'Rough... Flint. Yes? Do you think you could face the formidable Mrs. Kislow and tell her in plain, unmistakable English that she has fired? Well, I... I don't see why not. All right. I want you to speak to Mrs. Kislow in the morning. And this time I want results. Why, Mr. Flint, I never did see such gentlemen for getting down to the office at the crack of dawn, so to speak. It's no wonder you've made a success of things. Mrs. Kislow, I shall be brief. By all means do, if it pleases you. You understand, I speak not for myself alone, but for the entire firm of Tyler, Flint, Standish and O'Rough. Oh, my, that must be a dreadfully big responsibility. Yes. We want you to know, Mrs. Kislow, that we, all of us that is, Tyler, Standish and O'Rough as well as myself, we are not unappreciative of the fact that you have been with us for nearly a year. And although your association with this firm did come about somewhat by accident, we assume that you have served us to the best of your ability. However... Please, Mr. Flint, don't go on. I beg your pardon. Well, if it's a raise you want to give me, I can't let you do it. But, Mrs. Kislow, I, that is, please, you don't understand. Well, I understand that you're the dearest, kindest gentleman in all the world, and it's exactly because of that that I wouldn't feel right about letting you pay me any more money. I get along very nicely on what I make now, and I'm making every cent of what I'm worth. Maybe more. Nobody knows that better than I. Well, I don't quite know what to say. You just thank the rest of the gentlemen for their kind thoughts, but tell them I couldn't accept a raise. Well, that will certainly come as a great surprise to them. Well, now, I'm sure they'll see my way of it if you'll just explain. Mr. Flint, would you turn this way a bit? What? There, just what I thought, the bottom button of your coat is hanging on by only a thread. Oh, so it is. I hadn't noticed. You'll lose it sure before the day's out if it isn't fixed. Yes, well, I'll have to stop by the tailors. Why, you'll do no such thing. I have a needle and thread right here in my purse. Now, that isn't necessary, Mrs. McKieslow. Really? Oh, I can have it fixed in less time than it takes to argue about it.  Well, all right. There, that's fine. I guess this is what comes of being a bachelor, eh? You, a bachelor? Well, that's hard to believe. It seems to me that some nice woman would have said her cap long ago for a fine-looking man like you. Well, I was engaged at one time. Her name was Caroline. But she decided in favor of someone else. No. Why, the lady must have lost hold of her senses. Oh, she seemed very sure of herself. Of course, he was rather a dashing chap. A furniture salesman. A poor choice, if you ask me. And I'll bet she regrets it to this day. Well, I don't know about that. There. There you are. That button won't be coming loose for a long time. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, it was no trouble at all. You know, it's odd that the subject of Caroline came up. It just happens, you see, that she was left a widow three years ago. She told me recently that it might not be out of order for me to call on her at any rate. Well, I don't think you should have a doubt in the world. After all, we were friends at one time, as I said. And we're both older and wiser now, so I daresay we could let bygones be bygones. Well, of course you could.  No, she's not exactly alone. She has three children. Oh, but it's not the same. I'm calling. You know very well it isn't. You think I should get in touch with her then? Why, it's the only decent friendly thing to do. You're right. By George, you're right. I'm going out and call her this very moment. Why, why, who knows? I might even have lunch with her. Miss Johnson hasn't Flint come in yet? No, Mr. Tyler. Have you tried to reach him again? We've been calling his home all afternoon, sir, but there's no answer. The coward. What time is it, Miss Johnson? Five, Mr. Tyler. Is Miss Mckiesler still at her desk? Yes, sir. She doesn't leave until five, sir. Very well. Send her into my office. I'll settle this thing once and for all. It was so sweet of you to drive me home, Mr. Tyler. Not at all. I often think it's easier to discuss such matters away from the, uh, the hurly-burly of the office. Oh, it is. I'm sure. Uh, Miss Mckiesler, and I have always been of the opinion that when something had to be said, it was better to come right out and say it and not beat around the bush. You must have looked into my mind, Mr. Tyler. I was thinking that very thing myself. You were? Yes, sir, and you're right. I can't put it off any longer. Oh, I've been trying to tell you or one of the other gentlemen for over a week now, but you've all been so good to me, keeping kindness upon kindness. I just couldn't find the heart to do it. I'm afraid I don't quite follow you. Well, like you said, Mr. Tyler, no good can come of beating around the bush, so I'll come right out with it. The bare fact of the matter is I'll have to be leaving you soon. What? I hope you won't think too harshly of me. It isn't that I'm ungrateful or dissatisfied. It's just that Tim... he's my young man. Tim has been after me to marry him now for three months and I finally set the date for a week from next Thursday. I just can't believe it. I know, sir. I was afraid you'd take it pretty hard, but don't you worry now. I'm sure things will all work out for the best. Gentlemen, I've called you together this morning to discuss a problem which has been very much in our minds these last few days. Perhaps you are aware of the matter to which I refer. Yes, quite. I am fully aware that each of us, in turn, undertook a task which should have held no qualms, the simple task of discharging an inefficient receptionist. But, Tyler... Just a moment, gentlemen, please. Each of you has told me of your encounters with Miss McKessler and each of you failed to carry through with a jab at hand. Why? Well, Tyler, after chatting with the young lady, briefly I came to the conclusion that perhaps we were misjudging the girl. She seemed to possess certain qualities that I felt we had been overlooking. Right, Standish. In spite of the fact that Miss McKessler can type only twenty-two and one-half words per minute, she would seem to have other attributes to minimise her lack of ability at the typewriter. After all... After all, gentlemen, for almost a year she has been the front for the firm of Tyler's Flint, Standish and O'Rourke. She is the first to greet any new client who sets foot in our offices and the girl who creates a very favourable first impression. And that's important. Gentlemen, I find your statements most interesting. I too have great admiration for Miss McKessler. This incident may well serve as a good example to us. A firm that has for years prided itself on efficiency and good management and now, right in our midst, we find an employee unknown by name to any one of us until a few days ago. A girl who might, for all we know, have had severe personal problems or might have been able to do something about. I think Miss McKessler has done us all a favour. I might even go so far as to say, taught us a lesson. Gentlemen, I believe we should institute a new policy with regard to our employee relationship. Agreed? Excellent. Agreed. Agreed. But just one question, Tyler. Didn't you undertake to personally discharge Miss McKessler? After all, 22 and a half words per minute. Gentlemen, you may be interested to know that after this week, Miss McKessler will no longer be with us. You told her?  Firmness of purpose, my boy. Keep your goal in sight and let nothing stop you. I'm afraid I must admit that my task was made somewhat easier by the fact that Miss McKessler is planning to be married shortly. But what do you know? Isn't that nice? I hope he's good enough for her. Yes. Well, that brings me to my reason for calling this meeting. In view of the fact that Miss McKessler will have been with us for nearly a year, I thought perhaps it would be appropriate for us to present her with a parting gift. Sort of a nest egg, so to speak. By all means. Oh, quiet. Count me in. Very well. And that's agreed. Now, as to the amount, it occurred to me that a suitable sum might be $500. $500? Oh, wait till Tim hears about this. Well, I he'll want to come up and shake the hand of every one of you. Well, we just hope you'll be very, very happy. Indeed we do. We all wish you the best. That goes for me and Caroline, too. Oh, you're so good to me. I think I'm going to cry. Oh, none of that now. Here's my handkerchief. Thank you. Well, anyhow, gentlemen, you'll all be glad to know your kindness isn't going to go unrewarded. I've got a piece of good news for you that I've been saving till the last. Well, out with it. By all means. Yes, let's hear it. Well, I talked to my sister Peggy last week and it's all settled. She's agreed to take my place with you after I've left. Didn't you, gentlemen, hear what I said? Uh, yes, yes.  Your, uh, sister, you say? That's right. My sister Peggy. Oh, she hasn't quite my knack for typing and such office matters as that, but she's sweet and honest and I know you're going to love her. Really, Miss McKessler, you shouldn't have... Oh, now that's all right, Mr. Tyler, and don't you bother thanking me. After all, I felt it was the least I could do. This is George Murphy again. The story of Bertie McKessler is a charming light comedy. It furnishes an entertaining half hour of very amusing highlights of human nature, but the story carries a very important point, one that I think bears repeating. Now, maybe Bertie wasn't the most able stenographer whoever took a letter, but she did have one great faculty, the ability to understand the problems of other people. She was able to put herself in the other fellow's place. The more each of us can do that, the fewer misunderstandings will arise, the less friction. We need understanding these days, especially between individuals, between families, between groups and classes, and most of all between nations. One of the great commandments is, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. To aid us in this endeavor, we should, as families, call on God together. We should do that daily so that we will be constantly reminded of our obligations. Remember, a world at prayer is a world at peace. Before saying good night, I'd like to thank June Haver for her performance this evening, and our thanks to Jane Speed for writing tonight's play and to Max Tehr for his music. This production of Family Theater Incorporated was directed by David Young, others who appeared in tonight's play, where Alan Reed is Tyler, Charles Maxwell is Flint, Leo Cleary is a Roark, Herb Butterfield is Standish, and Joe Graham is Miss Johnson. Next week, our Family Theater stars will be Gene Hersholt and Scotty Beckett in the story of John Seger. Your hostess will be Dinah Shore. This is George Murphy saying good night, This series of the Family Theater broadcasts is made possible by the thousands of you who felt the need for this kind of program, and by the Mutual Broadcasting System which has responded to this need. Be with us next week at this same time when our Family Theater stars will be Gene Hersholt and Scotty Beckett with Dinah Shore as hostess. Tony LaFranco speaking. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.


This journey, and in terms of experience, it started very early in my life because I've always been outdoors and I have a certain sense of land. So, my engagement with this has been very long-term, but action-orientedness came in the… from 1998. On that year, some UN agencies came to Tamil Nadu and made a prediction that by 2025, sixty percent of Tamil Nadu will be… will be facing desertification. So, when I looked at this, I did not believe it, first of all. So, I decided to drive around Tamil Nadu and see for myself. Then I saw what they were saying was incorrect because in my experience, I felt it'll happen well before 2025 because three perennial rivers had dried up in Tamil Nadu. When I saw this, I thought we need to do something. So, at that time, the average green cover across Tamil Nadu was sixteen point five percent. The national aspiration was thirty-three percent. So, I said we need to get this to thirty-three percent. What does it take? I made a simple barefoot calculation. So, I called a group of our volunteers and said, see we need to plant hundred-and-forty million trees. They thought I've gone crazy because Sadhguru hundred-and-forty million trees, who can plant this? I asked what is your population? They said sixty-two million. See, if all of us plant one tree, take care of it for two years and plant one more tree, you've got the number. Why is it that it can't be done? Simply because all of us are consuming, but all of us are not willing to do the compensatory work. That's the whole thing. So, based on this, we started a movement called Project Green Hands, which planted millions of trees, still continuing to do that. And we converted a few over hundred-and-twenty thousand farmers into tree-based agriculture, where we saw significant improvement in the soil quality, in the nutritional values of the food and above all. For the farmer, it is an economic process because in seven to eight years' time, his income is going up anywhere between three hundred to eight hundred percent. In the last fifteen years, I have brought the trees into my garden in the direction of Jesus Christ. Now, how has the garden turned out? It has turned into an economic process along with the trees. Then, we came to the garden and said, let's test it and see how it turned out. It is 0.5. Now, it is 1.3 zero. I come across Rally for Rivers and Cauvery calling Camping. I planted almost two thousand saplings of six different varieties of high-value timber trees in my farmland. In fifteen to twenty years down the line, it will fetch me about eight to ten crore rupees' income. So, my future is fixed. One important thing I'm pushing for right now is, we must eliminate the term forest produce. There is no such thing. If you want timber, you must grow it. If you want honey, you must grow it. Whatever else you need, you must grow it on your agricultural lands. Right now, we are importing over seventy thousand crores worth of timber from various parts of the world. These seventy thousand crores could go to our farmers in the next twenty years if we start plantations right now. This does not mean we give up farming. We can grow almost every crop. This is what we have proven in the last twenty-two years. My work is to officiate the marriage of economy and ecology because if these two things don't come together, ecology will be beaten. Based on this, we launched the next thing because I saw there were many policy anomalies to plant trees in the land. How this was affected is, I drove from Kanyakumari to Himalayan region in twenty-nine days, covering sixteen states. At that time, in these sixteen states, there were six different political parties. We got absolute participation from all those political parties because there were one hundred and sixty-two million people supporting the movement. We must understand, in a democracy, there is only one currency that is the numbers, the people. I gave this policy document to the Prime Minister at about six-twenty in the evening. Next day, before eleven o'clock, just before eleven o'clock, the PM will call us and says, a special cell has been formed and they want a soft copy within three-and-a-half months. The Niti Ayog made this a recommendation policy for all the twenty-eight states. Niti Vitalization is a very important program. We have already prepared DPRs for thirteen rivers and I always hold that ideation comes from people like you. Your power is ideation. Our power is multiplication. That is what we are doing. So that is the story of Rally for Rivers. We knew that we had to manifest something which is a large-scale sample. This is why we took up Kaveri Calling. Kaveri because I grew up around Kaveri. What it was fifty years ago, today it is only forty percent of what it was fifty years ago. Kaveri Calling is an active process. There are nine districts in Karnataka which cover Kaveri Basin. We were working only in these nine districts and in the month of August, September, we had a… you know, like our volunteers went down and did eighteen-hundred events in about six weeks' time. Eighteen-hundred events in eighteen-hundred panchayats. Looking at this now, Karnataka government just less than two weeks ago sent an invite for us to take this up in thirty-one districts, that is all the districts in Karnataka. UNCCD, looking at the success of Kaveri Calling, is right now projecting Kaveri Calling as an ideal project in tropical world. Kaveri Calling could also be a large-scale project that helps improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable populations while rehabilitating the land that sustains all of us. To me, you are the incarnation of the sustainable development goals because while there are seventeen of them, they're all at the end about these two – people and planet, uplifted people and protect the planet. And that's your mission. So thank you so much, people and planet. So, pandemic has no way slowed us down. The dedication of our volunteers, risking their own personal health and well-being, they've been out there traveling, doing things. To understand this, Kaveri Calling is not just a fanciful project of our own. This is of enormous significance for the world to manifest that it's possible to change the terrain of degraded land by taking planned and strategized action towards this. So, everybody be a part of this and let's make this happen. This is our time on the planet. We as a generation of people have to show that we can do positive things.


Well, thank you, Michael, for that two-kind introduction. Like Michael, I want to thank our collaborators in this event, the Center on Finance, Law, and Policy at the University, the University of Michigan College of Engineering, the Institute for Data Science, University of Michigan Raw School of Business, University of Michigan Law School, and like Michael, I also want to thank our sponsors, the Smith Richardson Foundation and the Omidyar Network. And of course, our speakers and presenters for joining us and making this event possible. Most of all, I want to thank all of you, our conference participants, for being here to focus on a really fundamental element of the New World Order, and that is big data. This is our second joint interdisciplinary conference bringing together, as Michael mentioned, data scientists, economists, lawyers, mathematicians, and others to share ideas, scientific findings, and alternative perspectives on opportunities and problems that still face our financial system. So let me talk for a moment about big data. Big data captures one of the defining traits of our era and likely the future. Some prosaic examples, we all pull out our smartphones to recall who played Kramer in the TV show, Seinfeld, or to navigate around traffic jams. Our cars have dozens of computers that feed data to us and to the manufacturer. And of course, they'll soon drive themselves. In virtually every aspect of our personal and professional lives, our thirst for information, for decision making based on detailed information, for convenience and for speed, have fueled the demand for data while technology has raced to supply them. As Michael mentioned, the value of data explodes when they can be compared and linked with other data from a variety of sources, especially when they are highly granular. Small wonder that enterprises and governments alike view data as valuable assets. So do criminals and other bad actors. However, making sense of and managing the torrent of data create a tsunami of challenges. We use visualization and other techniques to understand the patterns in large sets of data, but I think here we've only scratched the surface. Some of the emerging techniques, like artificial intelligence, raise the kinds of moral questions that genetic engineering has raised for decades. And the data deluge also raises serious questions, a long list, I would say, about data privacy. We're going to talk about that, data confidentiality, data ownership, appropriate access, security, management, stewardship, integrity, analytics, and retention. These are far more than words, and I know they concern all of you. It's hardly surprising that the private and official sectors have elevated chief data officers to very senior positions in their organizations. So in my remarks, I'll try to offer a few answers to those questions in the context of our work and to frame the discussion over the next couple of days. And of course, I'll challenge you, the people in this room, to help us find even better answers. Let me start with data and financial stability. Although we have access to vast stores of data, we still struggle to separate the information from the noise. What data do we truly need, and how can we best use them? And how do we act on the recognition that all the data in the world are no help without being harnessed, organized, and understood? As Michael mentioned, marrying the data with analytics clearly creates a lot of value. That's why, for example, IBM purchased the weather company's assets last year. Its Watson computer can sift through troves of weather data and improve weather predictions. Forecasting weather has improved markedly over the decades in large part because of the availability of good weather data has exploded, as has the ability to analyze massive amounts of data. And both of those are important. Let me give you some context for thinking about data needs for our work in financial stability analysis. Now, some people propose that the OFR should be a financial weather service, pouring over troves of data and identifying patterns of financial storm signals to predict a gathering crisis. That's an exciting metaphor. But even with great data and tools to analyze them, I don't think that we can predict much less prevent the next financial crisis. Instead, we seek to make the financial system more resilient to shocks by helping to identify and analyze vulnerabilities that can morph into system-wide threats. To do that, we also work to improve the quality and accessibility of the data we have to identify and fill gaps in the data landscape and to develop appropriate tools to analyze them. That will vastly enhance our ability to look around corners and in the shadows for building threats. Now, our financial system and the regulatory framework governing it have evolved rapidly, paralleling the revolution in data and technology over the past few decades. We've clearly evolved from a financial system that was largely domestic where threats may have been confined to particular sectors like banking and specialized regulators conducted oversight of both institutions and markets. The financial crisis exposed gaps in our understanding of the financial system as a whole and in data to measure financial activity. The crisis also underscored the strong need for financial policymakers and regulators to collaborate across jurisdictions and regulatory silos. Before the crisis, the International Organization for Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, an Association of the World Securities Regulators and the Financial Stability Forum, which is now the Financial Stability Board, began to promote reform in international financial regulation. Domestically, we saw enhanced coordination through the informal president's working group on financial markets and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, a body of federal financial regulators that set standards for examining financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act responded to a growing recognition that financial activity and regulation are now interconnected, global, and jurisdictional. To break down barriers to collaboration in our regulatory infrastructure, Congress created two complementary institutions, as you well know, to identify and respond to threats to U.S. financial stability wherever they emerge, the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the FSOC or Council and the Office of Financial Research. The post-crisis framework for global coordination also improved. The G20 began a high-level political impetus to enact reforms. The Financial Stability Board gained legal status in Switzerland and IOSCO joined forces with the Basel Committee on payments and market infrastructures, on projects such as harmonizing swap data reporting, setting standards for the governance of central counterparties and coordinating global standards for cybersecurity threats. To me, the most notable aspect of these emerging organizations and affiliations is their interdisciplinary nature. Economists no longer work only with other economists or lawyers only with other lawyers. Each must get out of their comfort zones and work closely from the beginning of a project to the end with the other and more broadly in a team that includes data scientists and information technologists or their solutions fall flat. At the all far, we're keenly focused on this point. Late last year, we adopted a programmatic approach to our work, which identifies core areas of concentration that align our priorities to our mission. We're initially focusing on eight core areas, some relate to institutions and markets, central counterparties, market structure, financial institutions, while others involve tools, monitors, and stress testing. The final three of our programs focus on the scope, the quality, and the accessibility of financial data, the topic of this conference. Our programmatic approach is interdisciplinary by design. A senior staffer with relevant expertise leads each of our program teams. That person could be an economist, a market analyst, a policy expert, or a data scientist. Each team is made up of researchers, data experts, lawyers, and technologists. In addition, the teams include external affairs specialists who help us align our priorities with stakeholder needs and communicating our work and findings to those stakeholders. This retooling of the way that we work by convening centers of interdisciplinary coordination is already paying off. For example, our US Money Fund Monitor is an interactive visualization tool to display highly granular data collected by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Both policy makers who are analyzing the effects of Brexit and the impact of the SEC's new fund rules on US markets and the news media have cited its utility. In designing the monitor, analysts who are expert in these markets work with lawyers who negotiated data rights, technologists who built the user-friendly tool, and public affairs specialists who help figure out how to efficiently communicate the most valuable information to our stakeholders. I invite you to visit our website to use this tool for yourself. Let me switch to data scope, quality, and accessibility. Our OFR data programs echo the three themes of this conference and ask three basic questions about data. First, do the data have the necessary scope? That is, are the data comprehensive and at the same time granular? And where are the key gaps in the data? Second, are the data of good quality? Are they fit for purpose and capable of providing actionable information, either alone or in combination with other data? Finally, are the data accessible? Are they available to decision makers for well-informed and timely decisions? Let me start with data scope. Regarding that, I'll start by making an important point. More data are not necessarily the answer. You must have the right data. That might mean using existing regulatory, commercial, or public collections. It could also mean that some data are not doing the intended job, and so the collections no longer make sense. If the financial system has evolved and moved on, so should our data collections. Granular data are essential for our work. That's because, like policymakers and risk managers, we're in the business of assessing tail risks. Looking at medians and means is helpful for sizing a market or an institution, but risk assessment requires analyzing the whole distribution. Granular data and their analysis help us gauge risks related to particular activities and to concentration, interconnectedness, complexity, financial innovation, and the migration of financial activity from one part of the system to another. So granular data are critical for us to update our financial stability monitor, which assesses vulnerabilities in the financial system based on five functional areas of risk, macroeconomic, market, credit, funding and liquidity, and contagion. Now, if we see a consequential data gap, we consider filling it. For example, data describing bilateral repurchase agreements and securities lending were scant in the run up to the financial crisis, and they still are. To understand how best to fill those gaps, the OFR, the Federal Reserve System, and the SEC together recently completed voluntary pilot surveys. We reported results of the pilots to the Council and to the public. Guided by the pilots, we're pursuing a permanent data collection for repo transactions, again in collaboration with the Fed, and we appreciate that collaboration. These data will help us better monitor a $1.8 trillion component of the $4.4 trillion securities financing markets, one that amplify the financial crisis through runs and asset fire sales. Under our data scope program, we also consider what other data sets exist on the servers of our sister and brother agencies that are necessary for better financial stability monitoring. We work closely with fellow regulators to figure out who has what. The results are filed in the Interagency Data Inventory, which is a catalog of metadata. Metadata are data about the data acquired by financial regulators. We update the inventory annually, hopefully more frequently in the future. We also collaborate with industry, with market utilities and other data providers to see if the data we seek may already exist. In fact, the statute requires that we check whether data exists before launching any collection. We wanna be sure that any new data collection minimizes the burden on firms providing the data while maximizing the benefits for us and for them. For our repo and SEC lending pilots, we work directly with the firms to develop the data template, a shining example of government and industry working together to solve problems. Following these best practices in data collection also aligns the data with the risks and aligns industry interests with ours. Our second data related program, Data Quality, focuses on standardizing and harmonizing data to make them more useful. An example is our legal entity identifier program. The LAI is like a barcode for precisely identifying parties to financial transactions. Although industry hungered for such a standard before the crisis, the LAI did not exist before it happened. So the industry regulators and policy makers were practically unable to link data sets or even figure out who is whom and who owns whom in our financial system. Under OFR leadership, the LAI system now exists and almost 500,000 legal entities from almost 200 countries, excuse me, have LAIs for reporting and other uses. This system is now rolling out the ability to reveal the ownership structures of companies and thus how firms are exposed to one another. The next step is implementation of global standards for instrument identifiers, which will help us understand who owns what and frankly, who owns the risk through financial instruments. These critical interdisciplinary building blocks help assure data quality. To realize the full benefits of the LAI system, we continue to call on regulators to require the use of the LAI in regulatory reporting. I get choked up when I talk about the LAI. Let me turn last to data accessibility. Our data accessibility program starts from an obvious premise. What good is any data set if you can't get it and use it when you need it? A major challenge is to achieve a balance between securing confidential data and making data appropriately available to stakeholders, including policymakers, regulators, markets, and the public. This program aims at finding that balance. Trust and verification are crucial for sharing data. Data providers such as financial firms, domestic regulators, and foreign authorities are reluctant to share data without trusting that. First, the need for confidentiality is recognized. And second, once shared, the data will not be breached or carelessly shared further. Verification, even of trusted parties, helps build that trust. And I would point out that the Irving Fisher Foundation in as part of the Euro system, has published an excellent review of best practices in data sharing. Reputations are at stake and any regulator, including the OFR, recognizes that it must protect, excuse me, confidential data or prospective data providers will be reluctant to cooperate in the future. At the OFR, we've been highly successful at gathering data voluntarily from other regulators, market infrastructures, and firms with those promises made and kept. We have dozens of memorandums of understanding, or MOUs that reflect common understandings of the importance of strong information security regimes, agreement on what data must be secured at what level of security, and other process-oriented clauses dealing with court subpoenas and Freedom of Information Act requests. We've found this approach fruitful. In fact, the OFR has been leading in the interagency working group developing best practices for data sharing like the one in Europe. This group is working on a common vocabulary for identifying data, definitions of information, security levels, and model language for MOUs. This project is particularly exciting because for the first time, we've created a community of financial regulatory lawyers specializing in data sharing agreements and memorandums. I would hasten to add that lawyers are not the only ones who have skin in this game. I believe that this interagency partnership will greatly speed the creation of MOUs and lead to greater familiarity and therefore trust. Now, the OFR's data collection rulemaking and subpoena authority are also critical for our work. We intend to collect a rulemaking to conduct a rulemaking on repo markets very soon. Of course, a rulemaking is superfluous if the desired data already exists elsewhere, either at a regulator or at a firm. A subpoena is a great tool to have in the toolkit. It enhances our power to persuade. Someone recently said to me, and this was an economist, that you can learn a lot more from a subpoena than you can from a regression analysis. Of course, this tool must be used judiciously. A subpoena carries costs to the reputation of the organization, to its ability to really get the job done and through the sometimes time-consuming process of judicial enforcement. So far, we've chosen to pursue the cooperative approach to data sharing. This approach is not perfect because the process takes persistence and it takes time and the data once obtained may not fit their intended purpose. Moreover, the provider of the data may impose limits on further sharing the data, making use of the data for public or regulatory reporting challenging. International data sharing can be even more challenging although I will confess that it is often easier to collaborate and work with our global counterparts than it is with our domestic ones. And that's because the absence of a common overseer and legal framework is not there. In that environment, MOUs also advance the game. We have one with the Bank of England and markets regulators and enforcement entities have long relied on informal MOUs and international soft law to gain cooperation. Now, at last year's conference here in Ann Arbor, we heard of many promising technologies that might help solve the trust problems that can impede data sharing. For example, computing techniques may be able to mass counterparty data but still reveal concentrations of a particular counterparty or network and the risk in them. As these technologies mature, they might help us solve a problem such as combining US data on swap positions with those of European regulated entities without revealing the names of the firms themselves. Now, as an economist by training, even one supported by a cadre of technologists, lawyers and data scientists, I won't presume to enumerate the possibilities that exist in these other domains, but you can and I hope you will. I hope our discussions here can help us imagine how to develop ways to use modern data and information technology science to collect data efficiently, to improve data quality and to make data appropriately accessible to those who need them. Thanks again for your engagement here. Thank you.


I don't know how many of you follow Jordan Peterson, or watch Jordan Peterson. Like Jordan Peterson views Jesus on a cross as a superhero. He is the ultimate human hero, why? Because he's willing to give up his life in the most brutal, horrible death for sins other people commit. It's the ultimate altruistic act. It's the ultimate act of self-negation and of living for other people.


I already filmed this once and I'm kind of annoyed. I have to do it again. That said, Del TorreQuest is still pretty good. It is one of the big kids fantasy book series that was out in the 2000s. And a bunch of my friends read it back then. And I only read the first couple of books when I was a kid, but I finally just went back and read the whole series and start to finish. And yeah, it's pretty good. It deserves its popularity. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. So at its core, this is a very simple Lord of the Rings style quest where a couple of characters have to go around this crazy magical kingdom and gather up a couple of magical items so that they can save the world. It's, you know, nothing really new or original or anything. And hell, there's even a Dark Lord, which you never really see, but has crazy magic powers and has cast a land in darkness and all that. But it is a very good way to introduce kids to this idea and this concept, which I think is pretty great. And so the setup, like I said, 16 years before the bulk of the story begins, like there is a chunk of it that happens before this, but we'll get to that later. 16 years before the bulk of the story begins, this guy who was just called the Shadow Lord comes into the Kingdom of Deltora and he took this item called the Belt of Deltora, which was preventing him from coming in and it had these seven magical gems in it and he took the gems and scattered them all over the place so that it couldn't ever be used again. And now, many years later, the heroes, Leaf, Barda, and Jasmine have to gather them back up and complete the belt. And each book, they find one gem up until the final book where everything's all together and they still have to put in a little bit more effort to defeat the Shadow Lord. It's not like the instant they place the last gem into the belt, it's okay, everything's fixed. Like there's a little more to it and I actually did enjoy that because, well, it just, it made the whole journey seem a bit more difficult. So every book in this series follows a formula. Basically, the heroes travel for a bit and they get to a new area and this area they observe for a little while has been corrupted by the Shadow Lord and so it's all evil and dangerous and stuff. They run into some trouble while they're there. They meet some new companions while they're there. They find out where the gem is. They go through some trials to get to it, which usually involves killing the gem's guardian because each one has a guardian, and then they finally place it into the belt and then say, okay, we're on to the next place. And a formula is not a bad thing by any means, but that's what it is here. Like, every book is pretty similar in that sense. Now, at first I thought it would be much more episodic. Like I thought each book would be very self-contained and it would just be slowly, okay, we know in the back of our heads that they are making some progress, but we aren't really reminded of that much. But no, actually in later books they do bring in some overarching plot threads, which do play a role going further down. Like, for example, they meet this guy called Doom, who is a leader in this rebel group fighting against the Shadow Lord, and it's made clear from the beginning that the heroes don't think he is going to get very far with it. Like, they just think, okay, the belt of Del Torre is the only way we're gonna get rid of him. We need that magic power. And so when they first meet him and then part ways, I figured, okay, that'll be the last we ever see of him. But no, he comes back later and actually plays a role in the later stories and is actually kind of a big character at the end. So I actually did enjoy that. It makes the whole thing feel, like I've said this before, I just prefer having overarching stories to episodic ones. And it just makes the whole story feel like a bit more of an epic fantasy, which is really great. That said, the main characters don't really change much. In that sense, it does feel very episodic. Now, none of the main characters are bad, I don't think. But the way that they are at the end of the first book, once we've gotten to know them a little bit, is pretty much how they are at the end of the series. Like for instance, Jasmine is just the wild girl who lived out in the woods for a while and can talk to animals somehow and doesn't really understand social niceties as much as she should, but that also doesn't really cause her trouble. But she is still very intelligent and resourceful. Barda is the oldest one in the part. He's the only real adult there because the others are about 16. He is stoic. He is mostly pretty wise. He's smart and knows things, but he is still... Well, he makes mistakes sometimes. But he is still a valuable member of the party. He helps him out. And then of course, there's Leif, who is the main character. And he's pretty smart and determined to rid the world of the Shadow Lord, I guess. But there's not a whole lot to him. But again, he's likable enough guy that I was fine with it. None of them are bad. They're just very static. And in fact, because this is a kid's series, everything is very surface level. All of the characters say their thoughts and their feelings directly out loud. There's no subtext or anything saying with the world. All aspects are stated outright. Like, hey, it used to be like this, but then Shadow Lord did this or some other evil thing did this. And, you know, it's just, it's very straightforward. There's no real room for interpretation or reading between the lines or anything, which, again, it's not a problem, I guess.  The dialogue in this series is kind of evocative of fairy tales, I suppose. Kind of like The Hobbit, you know, where the characters speak almost super fancy, almost like poetry.  It's just meant to make this feel like, yes, this is a magical land and this is where the people just talk like this, you know, normal humans don't, but these guys do. And I'll admit, this isn't my cup of tea, you know, like this isn't a style that I like. It is a style which can be done well or poorly and I think it's done well here, but it's just not something I'm personally into. If you are a fan of that type of thing, then you'll probably really enjoy that. And, yeah, you know, it's a thing I felt like mentioning because I take some small issue with it. But another thing that I really, really liked about this series, which helps to set it apart from a lot of other fantasy, especially kids' fantasy, is that very few situations that the characters get themselves into are resolved with violence. And especially when you're considering that they're constantly getting into all these different scrapes, if they were just fighting their way out every time, it would get old pretty quick. Like, they pretty much always have to use their wits, they have to think quickly, they have to observe their surroundings and be clever about it because they just don't have the powers to power through everything. Like, the gems on the belt do have a little bit of magic on them, which helps them out occasionally, but it's never like just, okay, some enlightening and then destroy whoever's there and they can never just like fight their way through a tide of foes or anything. Like, the closest we get to that is when they're going to this abandoned city that has just been overrun with millions and millions of rats and they're outside the city and then at night time the rats just come out looking for food and this horde is about to swarm over them so they have to fight their way through it. And even then they have to use some clever tactics, I don't want to give it away here, in order to get out of there, but they do have to fight a lot. So that's the closest we get that I can think of off the top of my head at least. And most of the villains, especially the guardians who are like the big bads of every book, most of them are defeated using the clues that they found earlier in the book and even then they usually don't realize that they're clues to their weakness before they find it. And even then it's not as simple as just knowing his weakness and okay, cool, we're good. Like, no, there is a little bit of they still have to work to exploit it, which I think is really, really great. Like, it's just so easy to write your characters in such a way where they can use their magic or their sword skills or whatever to just power through whatever's in their way. And the series doesn't do that. It takes the high road.  And that's why even though it's a kid series and even though I do have some problems with it, it's still pretty good because yes, I am going to give it a little bit more leeway in some aspects for being a kid series. But that doesn't mean I'm saying like, okay, kid series are allowed to be bad, you know, there's still a good way to do kid series and a bad way to do them. And this is a good way of doing it. This is showing kids that in order to get through obstacles, you don't don't always resort to violence, you know? Like, even in real life, obviously, you can't usually do that. You have to think your way out of things. And I just, I just, I really like that. It's a good way of doing it. I'm sorry, I keep repeating myself, but I just, I liked that. It was really cool. I also really loved how the world genuinely feels like it's been taken over by evil. You know, everywhere they go, the environments are just described as being really dark and depressing. And there are still people ecking out a living out there, but you get the feeling that if the Shadow Lord rules over Del Toro for too much longer, there's just going to be no one left. Like there's so much disease and famine and everything else going around that people are just going to die out in this area. Like they're going to go extinct almost. And it's, it's not pleasant.  There's witches that have taken over places. Even just traveling down the road is super dangerous. And I liked that because it manages to make everything feel more dangerous and more tense without actually, without just being gory, you know? Because sometimes that's what people do, especially in the horror genre. If they want to make things feel more dangerous, they just make it gorier.   Like you know, they just go over the top with it. But you obviously can't really do that with something aimed at kids. So they just, it found a smarter way to do it. You know, like this is a series that while it has its flaws is smarter than a lot of adult fantasy, if I'm being honest. And it's also made very clear in the first book actually that even before the Shadow Lord took over everything, things were already getting pretty bad because the kings of Del Torra were puppets. You know, they were little more than puppets. They had no real idea what was going on outside. And so things were just getting worse and worse and worse until eventually the Shadow Lord was able to strike. And I know that sounds like a bit of a spoiler, but I really can't talk about the bulk of the series without doing that. And you find it out pretty early on. So it's not too big of a deal. And it's especially impressive that they're able to make the world feel this big and this real and this lived in. Because I mean, they go to a different location in every book and each of them feels very distinct from the last one, even though they're all, you know, dangerous and evil, they all still are dangerous and evil in their own way, which is really great. And they also mention a lot of like lands outside of Del Torra that the Shadow Lord is also going to try and conquer or the original place where the Shadow Lord came from. And there's all these crazy creatures and stuff. Like this world feels really big and deep and complex, but it's even more impressive that they were able to do that because this is a relatively short series. I mean, there's eight books, but each book is fairly short. I think the copies I got were all around 200 pages. So you can get through them pretty quick. I got through one of them in just one night. So it's, you know, they're not long book series, but they're still able to make this world feel so big and so real and lived in. I liked that. It was really impressive. And I thought a little while about how exactly I was going to go over this, but I can't really think of a way to do it without spoilers. So I'm just not really going to go into a lot of detail, but I will just say that there are some pretty good twists near the end of this series, you know, like for the most part, it is very straightforward and all that. Most of the twists come in realizing like, oh, that's what the villain's weakness is. Okay. But the last book, like I said, they, even though they have the belts, they still have to figure out exactly how to use it to defeat the Shadow Lord, and they have to bring it to the rightful heir of Del Torre, like the heir to the throne of it. And it's, there's some good twists surrounding that. I like, I thought I saw the twist coming from like book two, but I wound up not seeing it. It did catch me by surprise. So I liked that or rather multiple twists that I thought I saw coming, but I didn't see them. So without giving too much away, that's it. And I do want to end on just my biggest single gripe about this series. And that is the first book, which is possibly the most important if you want to get people to read it. Like it would be very easy for people to read part or the entirety of the first book and then just not like it because it has a severe issue here and then just not go through the rest of the series. And if you're one of those people, I will tell you it gets a lot better. But basically, the first third of the first book is just a long extended prologue, which is explaining everything leading up to the Shadow Lord taking over Deltora. So basically, it starts off with this character named Jared, and he's like a servant in the palace of Deltora, and he's friends with Prince Endin, and it's right as Prince Endin's father, the king dies. So Endin becomes the king, and then Jared realizes, hey, there's something weird going on here. So he does some research and realizes, hey, the Prime Minister is using you. Actually, he's not called Prime Minister, but that's essentially his role. The Prime Minister is using you. He's using you as a puppet. He used your father as a puppet. We need to get you the belt of Deltora. And then he winds up having to flee the palace. And when he does, he goes outside and he realizes, oh, okay, I thought it was all nice and prosperous out here, but it's actually shitty and everyone is poor and starving.  And then he sees his friend Endin ask for help. So he goes back into the palace and that's when Shadow Lord strikes and he takes all the gems from the belt of Deltora. And then Jared and Endin have to flee and then they say to themselves, okay, well, we're just going to have to find a way to get all the gems back and restore the belt and then we can defeat the Shadow Lord, but we can't do it right now. And then it skips forward another 16 years and then we get introduced to the real main characters of the story, which is Leaf and Varda. And then a little bit later, we run into Jasmine. And we also, while all of this is happening, we have to see how the world has changed since the Shadow Lord took it over and how it's gotten so much worse. And we have a little bit of an idea of how normal people live under these circumstances. And then Jared, who is Leaf's father, tells him, hey, I have the belt of Deltora here. We need you to go get all the gems. I would do it myself, but I hurt my leg in an accident a couple of years ago and now I can't do it. So it's all up to you son. And then the journey begins. And then this is when like the formula kicks in where Leaf and Varda are going off looking for the gem and then they run into some trouble and meet new companions and stuff. But this time when they meet new companions, they meet Jasmine. And because she's not just a side character, she's one of the main heroes, they have to spend more time with her than we do with the others. And so what this all means is that the actual like dangerous part of the book where they're going into the forests of silence and going after the Guardian and having to defeat him, like that goes by much quicker. And so it doesn't really have time to sink in.  And it also makes Leaf and Varda seem kind of useless. And I was afraid that, oh, okay, Jasmine's just going to be the one that does most of the stuff in this series. And it wound up not being true. Like all three of the heroes are useful some of the time. And they do save the others at multiple occasions. Like it's, it's, it's fine in that regard. But yeah, basically the first book does break the formula, but it doesn't do it in a good way. Because like, we're getting attached to Jared, this main character who is honestly a little bit more complex than Leaf, and a little bit better set up than Leaf. Not that Leaf is a bad character, but just he would work better as a hero, I think. And that's what I was expecting him to be throughout all of this. But then we just have to start over basically once we get through that. And I think that the Del Torrequest anime, which yes, there is an anime, it's been playing in the background this whole time. The Del Torrequest anime actually skips over that whole prologue and then just goes straight to Leaf being handed the belt. And honestly, I feel like that would have been a better, just a better way to start the story. Like we could have found out some of the stuff that happened in the backstory in the prologue later through like flashbacks or something like that. But at the same time, I feel like some of the stuff that happens near the end of the series wouldn't hit nearly as hard if that happens. So I just, I don't know. I don't know if there's a good way to fix that problem, but it is a pretty substantial problem and I felt the need to address it. But you know what? All that out of the way, Del Torrequest is a very good, fun series. You know, I surprisingly really liked it more than I thought I did. After all these years, I wound up reading it more out of curiosity than anything. But no, it is genuinely a good, fun series. It doesn't, it doesn't hit as hard as like the great adult fantasy that I'm used to because, you know, this just isn't aimed at me anymore. But I think if you are someone who is looking to get like a gift for your nephew or something or you're trying to read something with your kids, I think you could read this. You would both get a lot of enjoyment out of it. And yeah, now now I know everything about Del Torrequest, or not everything, but I have read Del Torrequest many years after I was supposed to and it was a lot of fun. And that's about all I have to say goodbye.

So I've seen a couple of tiktoks of this power world build and have decided to bring you guys my version of it, today I bring you a complete guide on how you can get this max damage go you at with that mega ton implode with the best passives too and also the best functioning party to get the ultimate team or P build. How's it going guys, my name is dpj and before we go any further I'm giving away a couple of copies of this game or any game of your choice if you're already on power world. To be in with a chance of winning see plz drop a like on this video leave a comment down below and make sure you are sucked. Winners are picked from the comments section and will be announced Sunday evening so good luck everybody. So the tiktoks I've seen haven't actually credited who I believe is the first to show cases that as far as I'm aware belongs to a dude called Old Dole. I will link his channel down below if you do want to check him out and show him some love. So what this consists of is a power which is capable of devastating things. This isn't just because of the mega ton implode, there's also a special part in skill on the go you at which increases damage like nothing else we've seen. Now to do this you will obviously need to breed up to it. There are multiple paths to take but ultimately it will take some cakes. It requires a lot of breeding and will also require luck on your behalf that is for sure. So let's get into it and let's start at the very very bottom. Okay so first things first we need to breed ourselves a ray hand but we need this ray hand to have the four major passives almost right off the bat and those passives are musclehead, ferocious, legend and celestial emperor. Now right away you will notice that legend and celestial emperor are much much harder passives to get. This is true and this is because these guys are exclusive to Palladius. Palladius is the only paladin again with that celestial emperor but it does come at a guarantee and it also comes with a guaranteed of that legend passive too. I mean may as well start off with Palladius, may as well be the first one you get. So yes Palladius is a level 50 world boss seen right here on the map but he is a part of the team, his pal is called Necromus. Yeah it definitely isn't easy to catch. I mean you can catch both of these or just get Palladius it doesn't matter but you need Palladius that is for sure but once you have him it does get much much easier run from this point. So with Palladius in the bag having the passives of legend and that celestial emperor we now need to breed a ray hand. Now we will obviously create this ray hand using Palladius it just makes sense this way and the options are doing is are you can breed fox parts with Palladius, a jolt hug with Palladius, a depressor with Palladius, who creates with Palladius and flambellae with Palladius. These will all result in a guaranteed ray hand baby. But guys we need to add the two of the passives into this mix and they are ferocious and musclehead. These are an absolute must because we want that ray hand to come out with musclehead ferocious, legend and celestial emperor that is the main goal here. So take your pick of pals who you choose to breed with Palladius, me personally after your fox parts is probably the easiest and most common one you will find and the point and now guys is it's going out and taming capturing a turn of these certain pals my instance fox parts because you want these fox parts you have that musclehead and ferocious on them. This may quit you having to basically catch a turn of these until one of them has one passive and the other one has the other passive and breed them together until you get one fox parts which has both ferocious and musclehead on them and when you get to this point people you then breed this constantly with Palladius until you get that ray hand with all four passives on it. So once you do get that ray hand guys which will take a while and plenty of cakes you now want to put this aside for a second. You now want to go out and catch yourself a toko toko. These are super easy to catch and find so you won't have to worry about these. So come to this point in the map guys which I think is the best place and look preferably for a toko toko with minimal passives on it the less the better if you can get one with no passives perfect but while you are here people if you do catch toko toko's which have musclehead and ferocious on them keep them aside we'll use them later. Don't forget this toko toko as well with the no passives on it or the minimal passives you want to make sure it's the opposite sex of your ray hand. So with you now having and getting that toko toko you now want to level it up to a level 22 or 3. This will unlock the mega turn implode skill so that's what you got to do here make sure this is unlocked and make sure it's applied and probably unequip every other skill too not sure this makes any difference to the baby we'll just do it anyway you never know. So once you have the skill unlocked and you have this toko toko ready you now want to breed it with that ray hand and keep breeding guys continuously breed until you get which will be a guaranteed go rat but what we're looking for is a go rat with all four of the passives of again musclehead ferocious celestial emperor as well as a legend and also having a skill of mega turn implode and this is the main goal this is the final fight this is where we want to get to guys we need this go rat with the four passives and this skill this is the ultimate damage power in the game as of right now so yes this is definitely the end goal people now what I'll also suggest is try and get in a mating pair of these go rats and they can breed them on for the perfect IVs if that's your thing then obviously use a condensation machine and maxis stood out as well as the statue of power people you now have the ultimate power of damage power which part of skill a full power gorilla mode this does crazy damage people let me tell you but remember with this setup you are building up to using that one move of mega turn implode this will KO your pal so you won't be able to use it again until that KO cooldown is done now although there are barely any powers in the game which can withstand this single attack but there are some so here's why I recommend you doing so we continue on with the setup guys and we brewed ourselves the perfect party so you can also have part in members within your power team which further increases go rats damage output and to do this guys you need to get yourself some ride bunnies or rebunnies I'm not sure how that's pronounced now I definitely recommend you breed in your own and using that talk or talk all I spoke about earlier when I talk about them if you did get ones of ferocious and muscle head on them we'll use those talk or talk calls to breed ourselves the best ride bunnies possible because we also want our whole team to have that mega turn implode because where that go rat doesn't finish that bus off the ride bunnies will so not only were the ride bunnies both go rats attack but it will also finish off anyone still standing so we was already having our own talk or talk all if you did like I mentioned earlier catch any with a ferocious and muscle head on them we now breed them now you want to go out and get yourself a couple of flow piece floppy so much floppy is that sounds so funny now with regards to passives here if you can get yourself the others ferocious almost ahead if you don't already have them on that talk or talk all that's a real added bonus here I've been lucky I'm not gonna lie I've caught myself two shiny talk or talk calls which I've bred with other talk or talk calls which means I now have a lucky ferocious and muscle head on them these are the perfect passives for me any of a passive that increases damage is absolutely a bonus too so yeah but once you have those floppies people floppies people read away until you have four ride bunnies which have said passives as well as that mega turn implode skill this will no doubt take a while but it's a most people it really is but once you get what you seek you have the spare ride bunnies use the condensation machine and level them up further along with the statue of powers these will give you a major buff of rule to go to that's damage output to also don't forget people we're using these as backup for when go at doesn't get the job done by himself we took in these ride bunnies they go in use the the implosion and decimate any stragglers and we fought in your party that's for further attempts of taking out said enemy after go at's initial damage and me personally I haven't gone this far in regards to the the ride bunnies and leveling them up with the condensation machine I don't think it's worth the time in reading this many ride bunnies but I mean you've got them in may as well do it but hey that's completely up to you if you want to invest your time in doing this is the ultimate end game damage output goal in regards to this team and his party but hey you gotta do what you got to do people but yes this in my opinion is the best way for that go at to be the most damage I think you're gonna do in a game and for quite a while now until they probably know that nervous because I mean the damage output the damage numbers you're seeing are just broken so yeah we will see guys we will see but there we have it guys guys we enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out feel like what you see want to see more power would be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one
