And so we complete our escape from Impel down, but not without a sacrifice from Bon Clay himself.  But ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. We have episodes 453 and 454 of our one piece watch through today. And I guess our next mission is just get to Marine Ford. There's not really any other goings like aside from rescue ace. I'm excited to see what's in store. If you knew the channel, don't forget to drop a sub and let's hop into it. Hmm You know when that piano hits, it hits different. God, dang, gym basic unit. Mubiwada. Yeah, especially after everything that went down at Impel down. True. They just go from the tippity top to the tippity top. Oh my gosh! It's Nami's Island. Kind of. Wetheria. That's apt. We're going to learn a little bit more. I need to check in with everybody. Especially now knowing that we're Sangias is Ivan's homeland. That is just amazing. This is the old man, bro. She's like crying. He has a little cloud balloon suffocating her with it. Oh candy. I think she's dying, sir. No, she's actually dying. Wait, the island itself like in the sky is floating there? Oh, shoot. Yeah, how long will it take? Like a week? Can he not calculate it? Oh, so it's all dependent. 200 meters. That's not very far. How does he even control the direction of it? Yeah, it's like guaranteed if she stays there. Gotta get back to the crew. Even though all of them are separated. What does it mean running out of research expenses? Like he can drop the island? What? There is an elevator! Wait, how low does it go? What is that giant elevator like runs into something? What is this?   Oh, they have like a little, little, there's other wizards! Oh, it's kind of like a blimp with the fire. How, wait, how low does it go? Oh, they can actually leave, okay. Oh, yeah, it is moving really slowly if they're able to do this kind of thing. Brother, tell me that's not alabasta. Ain't no way. Wait, it kind of looks like alabasta. Save this island. Oh, wait, no, this does not look like, I don't think this is alabasta. Oh, he's going to save them. That's an interesting hat, sir. He's just charging them? 100 mil! Dang, dude, he drives a hard bargain. He's going to be like, alright, peace! They're dying! What kind of discount? No sense for business. So he just pushes a button and rain begins, huh? It's so apt that she's here. Like, it's just perfect. It's weather, weather inventions. Oh, he puts like storm clouds inside the bubbles. Oh, the weather rope! I don't think we've even learned this old man's name yet. It kind of reminds me of Khalifa, the soap bubbles. This is, it's more evidence as to the fact that Kuma knew exactly where he was sitting, each one. Like, he sent them there to, I guess, get stronger for a reason. There's no way this was, like, accidental that she went to this weather island where these guys have these crazy weather inventions. Just an accident. Must be reminding me of alabasta, though. Celebrating for the rain. He's a nice old man. She already knew the signs of whether it was useful. Look at these little umbrellas. No, I think she'll stay. Oh, wow. Dude, this guy is so nice. Yeah, she can improve her craft. Using as a mentor. Aw. There's like, why did Chopper get sent to where he got sent with, like, cavemen and birds? This is not that unfair. Oh, no. No, old man! Imagine he just dies here. Oh, wait. She's like, never mind. I'm going to go. I'm going to head out. I'm glad we're checking. I'm guessing we're going to see everyone. But I think the one I'm most interested in is Franky's. And if we're going in order, he would come next, I think. Well, I mean, he got the eye catcher. Yup. Yup. No, 100%. Mechanical Island, Baltimore. Birthplace of the genius, which is vagabunk, right? Oh, no. He's still proper. Oh, no. He was funnier. You put Cola in him and him, young boy. Oh, OK. They've ordered some. I think this island in general is what I'm most interested in because of the whole connection with vagabunk. His own. Oh, my gosh. This kid is so intrigued by him. Snow? Put him outside! Is this kid trying to forcefully bring out his wild side again? Oh, my gosh. Does everything have modifications to it here? And close force of animal? Mechanical animal? What? Brother! Who put? Did the little boy drag his bed out here as a prank? It's like sanest YouTube prank? Are these all that guy's tests? Oh, my God. There's even a turtle. The surprise. Yeah, this is his doing. Brother, no, this is not how you do it. Have you eaten breakfast? It's not good for your mental health. Proper Frankie is so proper. You're their breakfast, Frankie. He's made tea for you all. Delicious. How are you? Okay, dude. Okay, dude.  They've been found. Is Frankie going to have to save this child and his dog? The dog's taking a stand. The music, bro. I can't. Avoid that. Mr. Frankie, no way. I am not calling you that, Frankie. It's going to pull it out of him. No 100% forcefully. This kid's plan is going to work. He just keeps fixing his hair. Maybe not. No, he does need cola. Like 100%. Listen to what? Oh, wait. What's happening to the tea? It's carbonating. Is that even possible? Look at the hair. That's so Frankie I missed. No, Mr. Frankie. I like how this kid missed the old Frankie, even though he barely even knew him. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's going to turn back into regular tea. Oh, geek. Oh, my gosh. They're actually going. He made kuma. Oh, these are all creations from him? Oh, my gosh. He left the island. Okay. This is his birthplace. He's not here anymore. I mean, he could be here still, to be honest, just hiding out.  There could be so much lore in here. Oh, no. A security system. No shot. What's here? Okay, so yeah, we are getting a check-in. Like I said, I had hoped we would with the straw hats soon because I miss the man. It feels like it's been so long, but we have a sort of a game plan for Nami. Just wait on here until it gets back to Sabahodi. But she's kind of out of the loop in terms of everyone being completely separated, so she might even be the one back first. Episode 454, let's go. I would think so. Good ol' white beard. There's that third Admiral again, bro. Just show him to me. Introduce me. Oh, no. It's definitely not possible. Wait, we're going to Sanji's? No way to leave Frankie off on a cliffhanger. Oh, my gosh. And the fact that... Yeah, this is Ivan's homeland. That is so funny, man. Ivan rules this place. Even the sun is a heart or the moon, whichever that is. Oh, my gosh. Wait, they're all so agile. Why? Because Ivan rules here. Why trains them? Okay. He knows which direction to go. Even the stars. I guess we're going to learn a little bit more about this place and what goes on. Is there a current ruler here? Some candies. That's what Ivan says. Is the current ruler? Kicks aren't too bad. Kamabaka. Oh, no. What does that mean? Yeah, I guess that is the current ruler since Ivan's not here. Did they just chase him all day and all night? Oh, poor Sanji. The question is, what happens if they catch him? Oh, portrait of Ivan. Oh, my gosh. What is going on? What is this scooby-do-ass house? Looks like we're back in thrower bark. Oh, who's the ruler? Ivan never talked about who rules in... Oh, my. That's an interesting mask.  Karo. Karosama. Just standin'. Hahaha. Queen's standin', eh? That's what I said. Caroline. Sub. Why did Sanji get sent here? Yup. No Ivan now. Let me get this straight. I get it, Sanji. Are they going to let him leave? What? There is a trial to leave? How strong are they, though, is the thing. Oh, no. Oh, no. Caroline's head is like just as... It's the same ratio as Ivan's head is. Oh, no. What are they having my boy wear? You look awesome, man. Why do I have a feeling he's going to get smacked? Who's the strongest of them all? Oh, Caroline. That makes sense. The standin'. Nukama Kenpo. I mean, maybe he was sent here to get stronger? I don't know. I'm trying to... I'm having a struggle putting my finger on it. Maybe he'll get over his whole fear of hitting women here, honestly. That would be like... That would be... That is his biggest weakness, is women. Now, I have a feeling Caroline's actually surprisingly strong in his perspective. Kani-chan! Brother. Does Caroline no shave? Oh, he don't stand a chance. Oh, the wink! Why doesn't no death wink, though? What? No shot. Was Caroline looking down? He's embarrassed. Maiden-like modesty. Mm, mm. Wait, what was he measuring? Well, Caroline kind of terrifying. He keeps hiding it. Seaving yourself. Oh, my gosh, it's blooming. No, please don't. Awakening of the Inner Maiden. Oh, no. Ain't no way. It's so embarrassing. What is happening, bro? Sanji is breaking boundaries. About to what? Oh, my God, he's going to be in the line with them. Oh, no! What happened to you, Sanji? Wait, I genuinely feel like this entire development is to work towards him not being able to attack women. Oh, my gosh. Okay, who's next? I catch her. Who's next? My boy! My boy, Chop! Okay, okay, I'm ready. His place did not seem like it had anything for him, but I guess we'll see. Birdie Kingdom. Is that his hat? Oh, he's carrying fruit. I'm guessing for the birds. There's no one to talk to, it seems. Yeah, I feel like Chopper got the short straw. Just cavemen. Like, what could there be for him here? I kind of understand Sanji's now. I understand Frankie's. I understand Nami's. What could possibly be here for him in terms of, like, medical stuff? That is a big baby. Aw, it's injured? Maybe be friending the birds. This is like the end goal here. Since he's also an animal and he can speak to them. Actually, though. Oh, he saved it. Wait, no, actually, that could be it. I don't see anything having to do with the cavemen. Aw. God, I miss all of them being together so much, man. Because Kuma knew that Chopper was an animal, obviously, and could communicate with them most likely. Yeah, I think be friending the birds is his best bet.  Did he just roll it? That bird's like, I have no idea what a doctor is, man. And be able to fly. Dude, what if Chopper could fly on him? He's like, I could fly back to my friends. Aw, I see. It's starting to make sense. I was kind of on it pretty early, though. Aw, imagine him showing up on a bird. Aw.  You have to alpha this baby chick while it's still a baby Chopper. Are the parents going to care that he's taking it under his wing? Aw. Yeah, but what is there for him to learn here or get stronger through? I guess treating the chick and raising it. The chick's gone. Wait, imagine it already flew back to its parents, or instead. He's like a doting parent. Is she running? No. No. He's both, kind of. He really is a reindeer. He's going to try and cook it. He has to protect his child. Oh, there it is. How did he run into it? I'm not going to lie. I was half expecting for him to run into it, just dead, caught up in the pieces. Run! Honestly, I feel like Chopper could rule these cavemen since he can speak English, and he can transform into this buff, buff creature. This little chick is so cute. Push! Is he just rolling it? Oh, no, it's actually running. Chopper, just transform and smack them all! My goodness. These spears are oddly advanced. Fly! You have to! At least try! Chopper can definitely fight them off. Just transform, Chop. The birds to the rescue! But you don't need to thank me. He's doing the little thing. No shot! Oh, no, he's just taking it. Chopper just getting done so dirty on this island, man. My goodness. Who's landing? Ten. My goodness! This is aerial warfare. The little baby chick. No, it's going to grow up for sure. The chick's like, Mm-hmm. It's so adorable. So he said it's a baby so it couldn't understand him. Maybe it's almost at that point. Yeah, how fast does it grow? I'm going to ask you, because who knows how long it's going to take Nami for the island to hover over it. And Sanji, if he even wants to leave his island, it really is a chaotic island. I mean, they're all kind of chaotic, but Chopper's is just tragic. Okay, and so we start checking in on all the straw hats, and I like how we're getting to a point where we're kind of, I guess, getting an idea of how everyone's doing and what they're all sort of working on. Because now it's starting to become more and more clear why Kuma sent each of them to where he sent them. Nami for weather, Frankie because it's sort of like a mechanical-based place. Sanji, like I said, I think it's a pretty good guess that it's to help him get over this entire not-hitting-women thing. But also, how would Kuma even know about that? And then Chopper, I guess, just arrived. So hopefully next time we find out why Robin's where she is. And same for Zoro and Brooke? Oh yeah, Brooke's being worshipped like he's the devil. Oh yeah, and Usopp on the plant island.  These two episodes really made a lot of things clear. So I'm guessing in the next two we'll make it even more clear. But guys, that has been it for One Piece today. If you're new to the channel, don't forget to drop us up and I will catch you in the next one. Peace, maize.


Abstract surgery is a type of primary clinical treatment for solid tumors. It involves frequent hospital visits due to the high risk of local relapse. To address this issue, researchers have developed a stretchable electronic device that can be worn as a patch and used to deliver targeted treatments such as chemo and thermotherapy. This device uses compliant materials to attach securely to the surgical site, and it is equipped with a nanotextile dressing that releases drugs when activated by electrical or thermal stimulation. Additionally, a flexible circuit and a compact battery provide power to the device, allowing it to operate remotely via a smartphone. In tests, the device successfully delivered both chemo and thermotherapy to inhibit tumor growth, demonstrating its potential use in wearable therapies.

Prime Minister Mahmoud Buhari has ordered security agencies to eradicate crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta before May 29. The president, who was represented by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Temipri Silva, set these while addressing security agencies in Port Harcourt, River State. He noted that due to the sealed up security efforts of the federal government, it has helped to ensure a production to about 1.5 million barrels per day. Mr. President mandated us to come here and give his commendation to the officers and men of the armed forces who have been involved in the fight against oil theft. We have seen significant improvement since we started this fight and Mr. President thought it was fitting for us to come and give this commendation to further bolster the morale of the armed forces. We are not exactly where we ought to be but we have also charged them through the double effort to ensure that oil theft is a thing of the past. Mr. President, really I want to leave that as a legacy before he exits on May 29 to ensure that oil theft has been totally dealt with. In his remarks, the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS General Lockheed, urged the security agencies to remain steadfast in the campaign to halt crude oil theft in the country. The motivation that has come from this commendation will be some form of veff that will enable us to pep up what we are doing to ensure that the desire of Mr. President is achieved overall. I think that is what we will be looking at, reassessing the gaps, what has made us to make this impact, what has not made us to be so effective and how to close it up. So this is precisely what we will do. And I would also like to use the opportunity to say that what this has indicated is that there is a need for everyone to have his hand on the plow. It is a collective effort which you know more or less validates that position that together we will win.


In this video I'm going to talk about the most common neutropic dangers.  If you've seen the film Limitless you'll be familiar with you know Bradley Cooper when he takes that limitless pill.  If you haven't gone watch the film it's really good. And when he takes this pill he's able to do incredible things with his brain. He's able to learn things much faster than normal. He's able to remember anything that's ever happened to him and he's able to sort of bring these things together and create an incredible life in a very short period of time. He basically just changes everything about his life and improves everything. He learns how to make money really quickly so neutropics are good in general okay they can help you boost your brain power. Now the brain power you're currently using is not as good as it could be. Our brains are like machines and so if we feed them the right fuel in terms of nutrition, food, water and getting enough sleep that is going to make them sort of perform better. Now once you're at that level once you're you know eating properly you're sleeping for eight or nine hours a night and you're exercising and all of those normal things that you should be doing once those things are in place you can actually go beyond that an extra 10 or 20% or even more and boost your brain power to a super high level where you're like the guy from limitless or you know any other kind of super clever really intelligent person that you can imagine. And you can do this with this type of smart drug called neutropics but there are some dangers to neutropics. There are some risks or things that you want to worry about especially if you're new to this and you're just thinking oh wow I want to become like limitless or Bradley Cooper or somebody like that and you have no idea how any of this works and you're not even taking a supplement like a multivitamin if you just jump straight in and start taking a crazy amount of neutropics you're going to have some pretty bad side effects and I need to say this right now okay none of this is medical advice do your own research okay I'm not a medical advisor or anything like that. I have had a lot of experience with neutropics and I've been taking them for about seven years or more now so I kind of know what I'm talking about in terms of what to watch out for but I'm not going to go into the technical neuroscience and everything like that in this video. Basically for beginners for people who know nothing or who are very new to neutropics here is what I would suggest you do okay firstly don't take neutropics unless you already have that high level of health unless you're already exercising daily meditating sleeping well drinking enough water and eating a good diet. No amount of neutropics is going to help you if all of that stuff is screwed up okay you can't expect it to do to work miracles okay you need to have a base level of health and mental performance first and then you can boost that with a new tropic so once you've got that in order or assuming you're just going to jump straight in and ignore what I just said there are some new tropics you want to try out and some that you want to steer away from at the beginning okay so firstly and this is kind of the easiest kind of win the low hanging fruit for most of you if you just take a caffeine supplement and if you take a caffeine supplement with L-theanine that's what the new tropic is called that is going to have a profound effect on your performance and your mental capacity. Most of us are familiar with the effects of coffee okay coffee makes us feel good it sort of energizes you and makes you more focused but what usually happens is you'll have the coffee your focus will go way up here and then very quickly after about half an hour or so your focus will drop and you'll need another cup of coffee and so you're over the course of a day you'll experience like a rise and then a drop a rise and then a drop and this will keep happening until you go to sleep or if you have too much coffee you can't sleep right but that's another story what L-theanine does it balances out the effects of the caffeine so you take the caffeine with the L-theanine and that makes the effects of the caffeine last longer and instead of having a big rise and then a drop you experience a more steady kind of higher level of performance all day instead of just for one hour and then you need another cup of coffee it's a really effective new tropic stack okay a stack is when you combine more than one new tropic so in this case we're combining caffeine and L-theanine if you combine those two there's very little chance of anything going wrong however this is about the dangers of new tropics the the risks okay so just doing that is fine for beginners in most cases however if you then start going in and taking something like modafanil or any of the other things like that you're going to experience side effects okay and those side effects will be quite annoying and they can be quite severe in some people what I would suggest to avoid those side effects just start with something really simple like L-theanine and caffeine very simple new tropic stat okay now the danger is that if you jump in and take so many new tropics that you don't even know how they interact you firstly don't know which one is giving you the results good or bad and secondly they're going to interact either good or bad with each other in a good or bad way you might find that let's say if you take qualia mind with let's say optinuro or mind laparro or something you might find that they interact badly all that there is such a high level of one vitamin or nutrient in both these things that when you combine them together you get way too much of a particular nutrient or vitamin and this is going to put your entire body out of balance there are side effects associated with high levels or too high levels of some specific vitamins so you need to bear that in mind okay don't do that don't go and take so many new tropics that you don't know the interactions here is how you avoid that danger journal how things go so write down how you're getting on with each particular new tropic and only test one thing at a time so let's say if you want to dedicate let's say two weeks to each new tropic dedicate two weeks to the first one write down each day how you feel and how you perform and then stop taking that one and then start taking the second one and the third and so on you don't want to test everything at the same time because how are you going to know which one is having a good or bad effect on you you have no idea another really big danger of new tropics is that you become dependent on them or you build up a tolerance now this is mostly found with things that contain caffeine however not always it can be the case with other supplement ingredients as well here is how you avoid that danger okay and by tolerance I mean you need to take more and more of them to actually get the same effect and you get to the point where you can't even perform at a normal level without taking the new tropic you do not want to get to that point as with any supplement on new tropic you do not want to become dependent on that new tropic you want it to give you a boost when you want it you might not want it all the time so you want to make sure that it's not going to build up a tolerance or you're not going to become dependent on the new tropic so here's how you do that firstly only stick to the recommended dosage don't try and increase this to try and beat the system or you know hack yourself unless you really really know what you're doing because in most cases you're just going to have side effects and it's going to be a bad time okay so just stick with the recommended dosage chill out and just take it one step at a time secondly make sure that you if it's a caffeine based supplement cycle it okay so don't take it every single day take it on weekdays or take it for the first three weeks of the month every day and then you have a week off the most common use and this is what i've been doing is to take it only on weekdays so that you have that break every single week you only have it for five days and then you have two days to reset your dopamine system very important that you do that so anyway that's been the biggest dangers of new tropics i hope you understand and hope you can avoid these now this video isn't over yet because i want to explain one really powerful new tropic that i consider to be the best or at least one of the best new tropics out there and that is mind lab pro i have a link in the description where you can go and get it and learn more there is basically over 10 ingredients in this thing each one of them is really backed by science they have studies showing this third party peer reviewed studies showing the increases in performance memory capabilities articulation all of this stuff people all around the world use this a new tropic because it's so effective people like chess grandmasters you know lecturers scientists and people who want to increase their brain capacity and ability to do things with their mind and body really powerful supplement it does not contain caffeine so you can't build up a tolerance to it so there's no side effects and no bad side to mind lab pro so like i said check that out in the description and i'd love to hear your experience with new tropics so leave a comment and i'll see you next time


In some ways, in any S-games with the title like Total Red lives up to exactly what you would think it would be. You start the game up and yup, you've got so cool kids watching a magician perform magic that is deemed to be most excellent dude! They even make sure to shoehorn the word like into the dialogue! There's lots of uses of words like righteous and gnarly and radical too! I'd like to think names of the levels in the Special World and Super Mario influenced by this game instead of ninja turtles or whatever. But hey, for what it's worth, the pixel art here is pretty dang sharp looking. Whoops, I mean, it's totally tubular, man. Totally righteous. So this magician is teaching this kid to use magic when he's suddenly attacked by something and the game starts. And as you can see, it's a side-scrolling action platformer. You get three lives and three continues to get through five levels split up into two or three stages each with no saves or passwords. You shoot anything that moves and you can even charge your regular weapon, which is pretty cool. The meters and the upper left signify your life and your magic. And yep, right away you get all sorts of forms you can change into at the cost of magic. Just press start for the list of stuff, pick something, and then press up and B to activate. So really, this turns into a game of management, especially since the only way to replenish your health in this game is through a couple replenish spells. But yeah, the way I usually approached each level was using a spell quickly to change forms at the beginning, then switching back when I got to the boss, and then try and use some of the other spells that cost more magic bars like time freeze or to refill my health bar. The biggest hurdle for anyone to get into this game is gonna be the controls. They just have a different kind of feel to them. The jump is good. It's not too floaty and not too stiff, but there's some quirks here and there that make things kind of weird. Like, you can't run up these slopes and you can't charge your weapon while jumping. It's that sort of stuff. The thing is though, you can look at it from one of two ways. Like for example, I think most gamers have gotten well used to the freedom that more popular action platformers and running guns provide, games like Mega Man and Contra.  This game kind of reminds me of Ghosts and Goblins and by proxy Ghouls and Ghosts and Super Ghouls and Ghosts. In that, the controls are just what they are. That doesn't make them broken or anything like that. They're just kind of different. And hey, at least it's consistent within its own rules. It just takes a little while for the player to learn those rules. However, whether or not it's worth the time to learn, eh, that depends. And that brings me to this game's biggest flaw. The level design is as plain as it gets. The second level has you going underwater only not really, because all you have to do is jump across these top platforms no problem. Then after that, it's about a dozen platforms where you're just running back and forth. It gets pretty dull. It doesn't help that some of the enemy design here is way faster than your character, so there's plenty of cheap deaths here and there as well. A, it wouldn't be an NES game without cheap deaths. The only time you get any real use out of your extra forms are when you fight bosses. The levels themselves seem like an afterthought. Also, some of the spells just plain don't work by design. I guess to encourage trial and error or something?  This game still has plenty going for it though. The music is solid. Some of the pixel art here is really well done, especially with the boss fights where you face this eyeball monster thing, then this fish thing that must have been taken a break from the Darius series, and whatever this thing is. The colors are pretty garish, but this game makes it work pretty well with lots of subtle shading here and there, so it's not so hideously ugly that it nearly breaks your TV. Believe it or not, another reason to play this one is the story. Well, okay, not really. This isn't exactly Shakespeare, especially when it comes to the dialogue, but I appreciate any NES game that goes for a ninja guidance style presentation complete with cutscenes that feature some fantastic pixel art. The gist is that you play as this gnarly dude named Jake and his bodacious friend Allison gets kidnapped by these alien dudes trying to learn about the human race. Her dad is a famous professor or something and he tries to save her and he gets caught himself, but not before Jake can save Allison, but now he gotta go save her dad. And I'll told it's like, you know, really cool dialogue, man. Yeah, killer. So yeah, I did not expect to like Totally Rad, especially based on the title, the cover, and the way the game starts with such a dull layout. But this game looks good, sounds good, and plays okay. Just don't go into it expecting Contra or Mega Man kind of polish. It's fun experimenting with all the different forms and spells once you know what they are anyway, although some of them might be a bit overpowered like the invincibility trick where you can't take damage when you jump.  Totally Rad doesn't come near to the best stuff on NES, but it's still a decent playthrough. Alright, I want to thank you for watching and I hope you have a great rest of your day.


It is time to rise up and stop Abbott along with Charles Perry, the author of Disdiscriminating an Awful Bill. As an immigrant student at Austin Community College and someone that spends time at UT with ULI, as before would no longer make school a safe place for me. I fear if local universities please start acting like ICE, it would no longer be a place of learning or expanding. Immigration agents or even university cops acting like immigration agents have no place in our spaces of learning and education. I am a woman, a documented student, a worker, an older sister and a daughter. I am a trufadora and I am proud to be an immigrant. I have been here for 16 years, Dralpan, a little province in Mexico City. I will eternally carry in my heart, but Austin is the place I call home. This is my home, this is our home, and we will not, we will not allow our home to be infiltrated and contaminated by fear. We will not allow our mission and unfairly be questioned when they are doing nothing, nothing wrong. We will not allow our students, our undocumented LGBTQ community and our undocumented family at UT, our friends at ATC, our friends at Texas State, our friends in Houston, our friends in many other higher institutions in the state to be questioned when their one purpose is with good intentions to continue their education in order to provide a prosperous, safe and inspiring home for our community and for the generations of immigrants to come. Para mi comunidad le echamos ganas, hemos tomado riesgos, hemos dejado nuestras vidas en nuestros países, pero simplemente para tener un futuro brillante. Nuestras familias trabajan día y noche para asegurarse de que nuestros niños, hijos, hijas, hermanas y hermanos estén seguros en este país. Hasta niez Estado es nuestro hogar, ha sido nuestro hogar y seguirá siendo nuestro hogar. No nos venzamos, no nos rindamos de la misma manera que lo hemos hecho y que lo seguiremos haciendo. El apoyo y los recursos para que conozcan sus derechos están aquí. Todos estamos para apoyarnos los unos a los otros. Unidos como siempre lo hemos estado, tendremos poder en nuestras voces y en nuestras historias. Estamos aquí y definitivamente no nos vamos. We will stop as before because we are here to stay and we will not leave. Growing up was a low income immigrant student. I knew the power of education that will help me to find a better future for myself and my family in this country. I was lucky to attend and finish university with a bachelor's degree. During my time as an undergraduate student for the most part I felt safe and empowered when I walked around on campus because I felt that for the most part my diversity and others diversity whether immigrants, queer folks, people of color, Muslims, etc. We were celebrated and embraced. But Trump's hateful agenda is emboldening Texas officials like Governor Abbott, Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Patrick and Senator Perry. And they are carrying out Trump's tyranny by asking campus police officers to enforce federal immigration laws. This encourages officers to racially profile students. And no student, no matter their status or background, should feel safe or welcome to go to school if their campus officers are asked to protect them only if they look like US citizens. The reality is that enforcing immigration laws doesn't keep students safe. Clearly, Abbott, Patrick, and Perry are not here to make students of color feel safe and respected. Here's a picture of me and my wife Carla celebrating Christmas. Harry on luggage, because I hope that we can one day travel or bond together. And it makes me sick knowing that she has to live in fear as an undocumented person, driving around Houston on her way to work. And then on her way home to spend time with me, because in Houston and Harris County, the local sheriff's office is still collaborating with federal immigration customs enforcement. Our own country, how can we make a life and a family together? And how can I keep my promise to her that we'll one day travel outside the US together? I'm here to fight hate. Thank you. I decided to pursue a career in social justice as a social worker. I'm a school social worker. I work with 11th and 12th graders. And I'm on the front lines of how this is affecting our families. How this is affecting their education, their ability to pursue a future in college and universities. They have dreams. These children have been taken away from their families. And I have a whole stack of letters from my students saying how much that this is going to affect them. I've seen it day in and day out. I have support groups. I have information. And it's still not enough. We need people to come together. We need your help. We need allies, Muslim allies, African American allies. We stand by you and we need your support. We want opportunities for others to have the same opportunity. They're leaving their countries because of danger, because of violence. We should open our doors and give them the opportunity to learn, to gain knowledge, and take that knowledge back.


In this day and age, it seems that the truths of life, family and faith are being attacked from all sides. Engaging our relativistic world with the unchanging truth of Jesus can be challenging. At times we feel helpless, struggling to find the words to defend the very principles we hold nearest to our hearts. At the Defending of Faith conference, you will be given the tools to fortify your faith and the knowledge to proclaim Jesus Christ confidently and without fear. This weekend conference will send you forth with a deeper understanding of church teachings and a renewed zeal to stand for the truth with mercy and courage. Come, grow in boldness and be strengthened in faith. Join us for the Defending of Faith conference at Franciscan University of Stubborn.


Hello in this lecture, we're going to record the adjusting entry related to depreciation were recorded on the left-hand side. That's where the journal entry will go and then we'll post that to the trial balance on the right-hand side trial balance being in the format of assets and green liabilities in the orange. Then we have the equity section in the light blue and the income statement including revenue and expenses in the darker blue. We'll first talk about what accounts are affected and then we'll go back and explain why this is the case. So first we know that it's an adjusting entry so that's going to have some added rules. You want to keep the adjusting entries separate in your head from just normal journal entries. All entries have at least two accounts and an equal number of debits and credits as well as adjusting entries. But adjusting entries are all made of as of the cutoff date, we're going to say 1231 in this case. And they generally have one account above this equity line, above the capital meaning a balance sheet account and one account below that line meaning an income statement account. And if we know that we can look at the trial balance and usually figure out what accounts are affected even if we're not sure why. So let's do that first. What account above this blue line is going to be related to depreciation. If we go through these accounts we can say hmm how about the accumulated depreciation. And then we can look at the accounts below the blue line including revenue and expenses look for something related to depreciation and we see depreciation expense. So we can see those two accounts just by knowing that it's an adjusting entry and it's related to a depreciation. We can even know which way they are going. We can say hmm depreciation expense, income statement accounts all go up. They all have debit accounts balances and they all generally just go up. Therefore we're going to debit depreciation expense. And if we debit depreciation expense what are we going to do to accumulated depreciation? We will credit it. Then we can know all this without really even understanding what is going on here. Now let's talk about what's really going on here. What is depreciation? Why are we doing this? Remember that depreciation is an account that's going, accumulated depreciation is an account that's going to be related to the equipment account here. We can see the equipment account. What is happening to equipment? It's going to go down in value in a similar way as supplies. In a previous lecture we talked about supplies. We put supplies on as an asset and then we reduced the supplies as we consumed them in accordance with our physical count. The difference with equipment is the fact that if this was our car and this was the equipment we're talking about, if I go physically count it as of the end of the year or the month I still have one car. It didn't go down in amount at all. But I know it went down in value and therefore we have to determine how it went down in value. So instead of reducing the equipment account directly we're going to make this other account called accumulated depreciation so that people can see that it is an estimate. They can see how much we bought the equipment for. It could be multiple pieces of equipment, not just one car but multiple things. They can see how much we bought it for and they can see the estimate that we have for the reduction in value. So that's what we have here. That's why we have this account being a contra asset account, meaning it's going to be an asset account but it's got a credit balance because we're really saying it's going to be this number minus this number. And then we're going to depreciate it, meaning we're expensing it over time in a similar way that we expense basically the supplies but we're really depreciating or expensing the equipment. Alright, so if we record this out, usually the book is going to give us a number at the beginning. Later we'll talk about how to calculate it. So right now we're just going to say the number is 1100. We'll talk about calculating it later. Once you know that then you can just plug in the numbers here, debit 1100, depreciation expense, credit accumulated depreciation. If we post that out then depreciation is going to go from 0 to 1100. And accumulated depreciation is going to go from a credit of 97,950 up in the credit direction to 99,050. That means that assets are going down. Note that this is a confusing account because the accumulated depreciation went up in the credit direction which brought down assets because assets normally have debit balances. Alright, and then the liabilities stayed the same and the equity section has gone down. Why? Because expenses went up. Expenses going up means net income is going down which brings down the equity section. If we look at net income we can see that we had 91,080. That's going to be revenue minus the expenses and then we debited 1,100 bringing the balance down to 89,980.


In just a moment, suspense with Bert Lancaster.   Oh golly, can't a poor doctor make a simple social visit like ordinary folks? I just finished my last call, so I stopped by to a steel haps easy chair. Relax and listen to the auto light suspense show. Sit right down. My car and I have had a tough day. We have to keep in shape too, you know.  Auto light resistor spark plugs, auto light batteries, and auto light ignition systems. I wish every case was as easy as that one. Boy, you sound like Frank Martin. Is your prescription for tired doctors the auto light suspense show? Right again. Let's listen. Suspense. Auto light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations bring you radio's outstanding theater of thrills. Starring tonight, Mr. Bert Lancaster in Anton Leader's production of The Big Shot by Brett Halliday, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.  I learned about that early when I was a kid and the other kid started rousing.  It was a very profitable lesson, which paid off as I grew up and I found it pays dividends whether you're on East 10th Street or down in Mexico. Martin, Charlie Morton. Yeah? Yeah. Well, welcome to Mexico. Well, thanks. You're Quinn, I suppose. Right, glad to meet you. Same here. I was lucky you were the only American on the bus or I'd never have recognized you. No? No. Collins Rodey was sending a young fellow out just from engineering school but I didn't expect it. Listen, Quinn, never mind my looks. You asked for a mining engineer and you got one. Any complaints? Well, of course. Well, if they're all, you can pay me off my guarantee and I'll get back on that bus. No, wait a minute, Morton. I didn't mean to offend you. I got no complaints as long as you can do the job. I can do the job. Yes, I guess maybe you can. Now, how about a drink? Right over here at the corner. And Mexico, there's always a bottle of tequila not too far away. That's one thing makes it attractive. Must be the only thing then. Oh, I don't know. Some of us like it down here. Is that so? Why'd you come then? Well, that's easy. They told me there was money in it. Yeah. Yeah, there is. In here. Good evening, gentlemen. What do you want? Two tequilas, please. I hope you like tequila, Morton. It's about all they have around here. It'll do. Are all the bartenders like that? Oh, no, that's Lolita, her father owns a place. She ought to be plenty good for business. Yes, sir. Say your stuff is all right. Last box of equipment came in last night, so you can start setting up the mail as soon as we get back. Don't worry. I'll get it up. I'm not worried, but time is important. Two tequilas, señores. See, gracious Lolita. Yeah. Thanks, beautiful. Be beautiful? See, baby, that's you. From top to bottom. Is okay, senor? Yes, plenty okay, baby. Plenty. Gracias, senor. Gracias. Maybe I'm going to like Mexico after all. Look, Morton, I don't know how much Collins told you about the setup. Not much. Said there was a chance for some money and plus a little excitement. He didn't tell you there might be more than excitement. Jail, maybe, or worse. He mentioned it. Oh, okay then. You understand that we've got a ticklish proposition on our hands. We've got to be careful, especially with these people. If they knew what we were planning. Okay, what are we planning? We struck a rich vein of gold quartz in the remote mountains about 20 miles from here. I've got my crew mining as fast as we can before anybody around here finds out about it. So? The tough part comes in getting it out of the country. There's a wave of Mexico for Mexicans right now. And if we haul the ore out to the regular stamping mill in town, the government will confiscate most of the gold. I see. So you bring me in to set up a small stamping mill at the mine and mill the ore there. Right. We figure that in the next month we can suss out maybe a half million dollars worth of free gold. Then get out quick before anybody gets wise. Half a million dollars? Yes, but we'll still have to smuggle it out of the country. It's going to be a tough job. Kid stuff. Yeah? It's not just the law we've got. Well, what else? Lolita? Sure. These people would inform them if they found out, but they wouldn't tell the government. They'd tell some bandit gang around in the hills somewhere. Bandits? I suppose they got a Robin Hood down here, too. OK, Morton. Maybe you'll learn. Well, I thought a half a million would tempt anybody. And a 20th of that is your share. Maybe 25,000. That's not hay. Careful, Morton. I don't know if there is another evidence. No. No gracious. No, no gracious. Quanto? Un beso. Gracias, señores. Hello, Lita. Sí, señor. You understand, uh, comprende inglés? Sí, señor. I speak inglés muy good. Oh, so I see. Never mind, baby. A little is enough. Your old man never give you any time off? Sí, señor. No comprendo. Well, let's put it another way. Are you doing anything Saturday night? Wait a minute, Morton. Better not make any dates. Why not? A guy can't work all the time, especially with stuff like this around. You don't expect me to stay up there.  Never mind, beautiful. See you later, comprende? Sí, señor. See you later. Yeah, you get the idea. Hasta luego. Look, Morton, I warned you. Be careful. I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself and her. Just remember, there's a half a million involved. Yeah, half a million. Maybe, all together, for the company. 25,000 for you. Half a million dollars. Listen, Morton. And 25,000 for me. That's not enough for you. It'll do for a start.  And you don't like it, is that it? I don't like you. That bus is still out there. You could get another engineer down here in maybe six weeks. Something tells me I ought to take you up on that, but I don't have to like you. As long as you do your job and stay out of trouble. Okay, then let's leave it at that. Whatever happens, it won't be me who'll have any regrets. The setup was just like Quinn said. Except that the yaw was even richer than I'd expected. There was a pile of it already mined, and they put them in to work right away assembling the stamping mill. You know, hard rock miners are funny. They hate being bossed by an engineer who's learned all his mining out of books. And they didn't like it either that I was getting a bigger share of the net than they were. And of course to add that, my looks. The yellow hair and the baby face. I knew that sooner or later I'd have to show them that they couldn't draw any wrong conclusions from my face. Well, it didn't take long for the showdown to come.  Chow's ready. Okay. Wait a minute, Logan. Yeah? That solution's not tight. You better get down there and tighten up those bolts. It can wait till tomorrow. Chow's ready. I said get down there and tighten up those bolts.  Ah, yes. Hey, you need a little... Come on, Logan. Come on, Logan. Yeah, but you're not tough enough. Look out, little man. Oh, man. What are you... Well, look out. They're too close to the gully. Look out. We knocked him over the cliff. He went down on the gully. I saw him. Hurry up. Get down there, man. He probably hurt bad. Must have fallen 30 feet. What, where are you going? Somebody said supper was ready. You didn't have to do that. You didn't have to knock him over the cliff. Hell, they asked for it. You didn't have to fight like that. Like you meant to kill him? They wouldn't take orders. I had to show them. Okay, Morton. Hey, Quinn. Yeah? He's dead. His neck's broke.  Even if it amounts to murder. Nobody else wants any supper I do. I'm hungry. For suspense, Auto-Light is bringing you Mr. Burt Lancaster. In radio's outstanding theater of thrills, suspense. I wouldn't call suspense very relaxing, Dr. Lewis. Well, suspense is certainly no sedative, Mary, but I like it that way. Full of dangers. Like those Auto-Light's resistor spark plugs you mentioned, hey, Doc? Now, say, Hap, don't you get me started on those Auto-Light resistors, because I'm a bug on them. I guess it's pretty important that you doctors have spark plugs that you can really depend on, huh? Right as rain, Hap. You know, my patients just can't wait. They expect me to be Johnny on the spot, day or night, fair weather or foul. Yes, folks, come rain or shine. Auto-Light resistor spark plugs are just what the doctor ordered for your car. Right now, you can get Auto-Light resistor spark plugs anywhere in the United States, and they're sensational. Why, no other spark plugs can give and maintain such performance. Auto-Light ignition engineered a 10,000 ohm resistor right into the Auto-Light spark plugs. This permits a wider gap setting and maintains it far longer than any other spark plugs. Replace your narrow-gap spark plugs with a set of wide-gap Auto-Light resistor spark plugs. You can actually tell the difference in your car. Auto-Light resistor spark plugs are a great new development of Auto-Light ignition engineers. Auto-Light engineers tests and produces complete ignition systems. That's why Auto-Light spark plugs work in special harmony with your car's entire electrical system. Get a set of Auto-Light resistor spark plugs right away. And now Auto-Light brings back to a Hollywood soundstage Mr. Bert Lancaster as Charles Morton in The Big Shot. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. You gotta be tough. It's a tough world. You gotta be tougher than the next guy. I was tougher than Joe Logan, that's all. I beat him in a fair fight. If he slipped and fell over that cliff, well, it's just too bad. While they buried him, I ate my supper. After that, I had no more trouble with the men. The first Saturday that everything was running smoothly, I went up to Quinn's tent. Quinn! Yeah? Oh, come in, Morton. I've been just looking over the take so far. What's your guess? Maybe a hundred thousand. Yes, maybe. We'll pull at least two hundred and fifty. We'll get that half a million, don't you worry. If nobody bothers us. Don't be so jumpy. Nobody's gonna bother us. Not. Say, Morton, I gotta admit you've done a whale of a job so far. Forget it. Don't worry, Morton. I don't like you any better. But I can appreciate it when a man knows his job and does it well. Okay, okay. Look, I'm going into town. You want any supplies? I'm sending Andy in for him. There's no use of the two of us going. Morton, I'm the boss here. Are you? Yes. You told me as long as I did the job, that was all you cared about. That's right. It'll take the crew two days to catch up. I'm going to town. I'll tell Andy you'll get the supplies. I'll carry you. More tequila. Sisi, baby. Come here. Send your charm. Love me, baby. I'll carry you. I have never met one like you. Well, that goes double, baby. Yes, sensation. You're not come dead in the States. I'd like to take you back there. I'd like to dress you up in fancy clothes with diamonds in your hair. Diamonds? Oh, senor, you must be very rich. Not yet, not yet, but give me time. It's very interesting. Tell me more, querido. Later, baby, later. Right now, let's blow this joint. But, senor Charlie, is it not you must go back to wherever you go? Yeah, they can do without me for a while. I like it here better. Okay. Okay, senor. Well, what was that? What did the kid say? It's nothing, senor Charlie. It's a game they play. What did he say? He said beware El Chico. Oh, who's El Chico? It's nobody, senor. You must not mind. Sounds like a Mexican goblin or something. El Chico is, they say, a bandito. He's not like Americanos. He robbed, killed them. They see me with Americano. They say, beware El Chico. It's a game. I get it. He's a Mexican equivalent of Superman, eh? An imaginary Robin Hood in a sombrero. Oh, no comprendo, senor. Ah, never mind, baby. Forget the fairy tales. That kid ought to be home in bed anyway instead of running around in a saloon. He's my little brother. Oh, I get it now. This is the family game to scare off the Americanos, eh? No, no, senor. Well, I don't scare easily, baby. I don't scare at all. Ah, bueno. Ah, no, sorry, I... Say... Gay? What does he matter, senor Charlie? Nothing, baby, nothing. I just had a great idea, that's all. Thank you, little brother, for me, baby. He's just given me a great idea. A great idea. For a long time I've been thinking, why just 25,000? Why not the whole half of a million? There's something wonderful about those little bags of free gold, you know? They're so negotiable. You don't have to exchange them for anything else before you can get the cash. With a half a million and... and a liter, life could be beautiful. And now the plan was shaping up in my mind. I started putting it into effect as soon as I got back to the camp. Quinn was waiting there for me as I rode up and I could see he was boiling. Here we do it back two days ago. Ah, I got drunk. I didn't feel like hitting the trail this morning. Oh, just like that. Take it or leave it. That's it. Now don't blame a man for getting drunk once. But I'll send somebody else in for supplies next week. I'm going in. I've got a date next Saturday night. Listen, Morton, I told you... You don't want to fire me now? Huh? You got anybody else that can keep the mill going? I haven't in New North. All right, then. Let's get to work. Maybe we better speed up a little too. Why? Well, they're talking in town about this El Chico. El Chico? Yeah, Bandit thinks he's going to run all the Americanos out of Mexico. He's making war on the Americans. Yeah, the talk in town was that he's heading down this way. I was afraid of something like that. You better tell me about it, Morton. Tell me all about it. It was a cinch. From the very first he swallowed it all. By the next Saturday, he was begging me to go back to town. Keep my ears open. Find out all I could. Of course, I heard plenty. Then Quinn was hurrying the men, trying to figure out a way we could get out. But the way I told them, El Chico had complete control of the province to the north and blocked our way back to the States. The other way was across the mountains to the west, and they were impassable without native guides. Now, he knew that, but I reminded him. And then the next time I went into town, I brought back the map, a greasy, crumpled, dog-eared pencil map, scrawled on butcher paper. It was a masterpiece. It should have been. It took me a whole night to draw it. And it showed an old wagon road going out over the mountains to the coast. I told Quinn I bought it from an old Mexican. It was the prelude for my trump card. Okay. The map looks genuine all right. And if it is, that road can't be more than 10 miles due west of here. Yeah, I figure less than that. Straight over there in that low pass. My gully, I think you're right. Sure. All we gotta do is to get across this one, this one canyon right here. And how do you figure we do that? With wings? It's 300 feet deep and 100 wide. That's easy. Yeah? That tequila you've been swilling in town's got you goofy. Oh, and I'll throw a bridge across. I love the way you say that, Look, I'm an engineer, remember? I'll put a bridge across there in three days. Martin, you do that and I'll take back everything I ever said about you. The next morning I tied a 200 foot length of rope around my waist. Took a pulley with me and started down to the bottom. It took me all day to make it up to the other side. I tied the pulley to a jack pine and pulled the rope through tight and tied it off. And then I came back hand over hand. After that it was simple to finish the slickest suspension bridge you ever laid eyes on. Plenty strong enough to hold all our men and mules, fully loaded. It was so good that even Quinn had the grace to admit it. I gotta hand it to you, Morton. I've seen a lot of engineers that can work things out on paper, but not many that can do the job themselves. Thanks. What do you say we take a look over there tomorrow for that road? No need to. I'll take a little walk around the cable across. The road's there all right. Just where the map shows it. Oh, all right, if you found it. I guess that takes care of that. Sure, we're all set. Thanks to you. I guess I owe you an apology, Morton. Maybe we all owe our lives to you. That's the only time before or after that I had a qualm where he said that. But you gotta be tough. I couldn't forget that. It was too late now to back out. Everything was ready. We were all set to leave on short notice. Quinn wrote a letter to Collins in the States, telling him to meet us on the coast with a boat. Quinn gave me the letter to mail in town, but of course I never mailed it. I spent my time in town getting the necessary mules in the gear, and then I went to Lolita. Get it, Omeo. I have missed you. Well, it's the last time you'll have to miss me, baby. This is it. The diamonds are fancy clothes, all of it. Yours. Mine? Get it, or you are rich now. By this time tomorrow we'll both be rich with more gold and we'll know what to do with for the rest of our lives. Gold? You have found much gold? See, that's ours. Thanks to El Chico. El Chico, what? Remember Beware El Chico, the game you played with your brother? Oh, see. Well, that's what gave me the idea, and it worked perfectly. We'll have to thank El Chico if we ever run into him. Oh, I do not think that will happen. After all, El Chico is only in a game, remember? Well, never mind the games now, baby. We've got work to do. Now get some clothes, but keep it light. We'll pull out of here at midnight, and tomorrow... tomorrow we're rich. All there, alto! We are here already, querido.  It'll be done in an hour, then you start up. And remember, raise as much dust as you can. That's part of the plan. By the time you get there, everything will be ready. Comprende? Sí, sí, querido. You are sure there will be no mistake? Not with me running this clam-bake, honey. Now give me a kiss. And a girl. Hasta luego, baby. Good luck, querido. But I wasn't depending on luck. You don't need luck when you've got everything figured. By noon El Lido and I would be on our way back to the States with a trunk full of that yellow stuff. And the men? Yeah, I didn't even give them a thought. Not even Quinn. Dumb lucks.  They deserved whatever life handed them. Just before I rounded the last bend in the camp, I stopped the kite. It's awful quiet in the mountains just before dawn. I took a deep breath and... Quinn, Quinn! Get going, you magic cussers. Try to look like you've been running for 20 miles. Quinn, no Quinn! Who is it? Is that you and what is it? What's the matter? Altatah. We'll have to get out in a hurry. Now Chico's on his way here with 20 men. He'll be here inside of two hours. How'd he find out about us? Oh, it's all my fault. I was a fool to trust Elida. I thought she was okay. She sent word to El Chico about the gold. You're blasted, Eddie.  I know, I know. You can kick me anywhere. I've been kicking myself all the way up here.  Well, I wouldn't blame you, Quinn. All right, men. Get those meals back. We're getting out. The gold first. Two saddlebags, great deal. I worked like a demon alongside the men, but getting the stuff packed. And then, just as the last mule was getting his diamond hitch, I grabbed Quinn's arm. What do you want? Quinn, I've been thinking. I gotta do something. Looks to me like you've done enough. I don't just see. It's my fault. It's up to me to do something now. This is no time to beat your breast. We're getting out. Getting out of here as fast as we can. No, look. Look, I got an idea. You gotta let me square myself. Make it snappy. We can't waste time. Well, listen. I've placed a dynamite charge under the eyeballs at this side of the bridge. Uh-huh. I'll go to the other side and wait till you're safely across. Then blow the bolts clean so there'll be no trace left. I see. You cut the cables on the other side with a hacksaw, and the whole bridge will drop to the bottom where the brush will hide it. You'll be out of sight when El Chico comes. And I'll tell him you've out-slicked him, gone nought. He'll waste several days riding after you before he realizes the truth. And by that time, you'll be safe on the coast. What about you? Well, I don't matter. This wouldn't have happened if I had shot my mouth off.  No, it will stick together. Cutting the cables in the far side's a good idea. He'll lose a day going back to where he can cross the canyon. But our day is not enough. His horses will catch your moves. We've got to destroy every sign of the bridge. Make them think you've gone the other way. I'm staying. I don't know. It's the only way, Quinn. Look, look. You can see the dust cloud over there on the trail. He's coming. You haven't got much time to get out of sight. All right, Martin. Maybe I was wrong about you. Let me shake your hand. Good luck. Good luck. That's all the guys like Quinn can think about. They don't understand a man who's tough enough to make his own luck. All of them lined up and they shook my hand. They all hated me since I came on the job. Now they were shaking my hand. And in a minute... The lead meal started. Soon they were all strung out on that long swaying bridge. Quinn stayed till last, spacing them out. I waved to him and waited for him to step out on the bridge. My hand inched toward the plunger.  Go on, Quinn. Hurry. There's no time. I can catch up with him. Listen, I've been thinking, Martin. Sunday while you were in town, I looked around for that road. I couldn't find it. They're all right. You'll find it. Hurry, Quinn. Maybe so, but I was just thinking. Why'd you plant the dynamite under this end of the bridge? Why couldn't you have strung wires and blown it out from the other side? I just didn't. I made a mistake. All right, I'll take the consequences. You can still do it, Martin. We've got plenty of wire. No need for you to fall into Welchiko's hands.  Go on. In a minute, it'll be too late. Too late for what, Morton? Look at that dust. He's coming. You know what I think? I think Welchiko isn't anywhere within 500 miles up here. What? I think you plan to blow up this bridge with the men on it. Drop us all at the bottom where you could pick up the pieces. Get away, Quinn. Can't stop me now. I'll take care of you later. Gotta wait in that pleasure. Stop it. Morton, get your hand off that. Stop it. No. Cushion had my head reeling for a few seconds. When the landscapes were back into focus, I could see the bridge was gone. The bridge and the men in the mules. But I couldn't seem to figure out what happened. Quinn lay beside me. Very still. I could see blood. How did... I seem to remember hearing a shot. But where did it come from? Later! You did it. You shot him. You're wonderful. We did it, baby. We did it. Look it down there. A half a million bucks, baby. Three million pesos in gold. All we gotta do is go down... Good job, senor. Dead stupidly, the little man in the big sombrero who stepped out of the manzanita and grinned at me. A smoking revolver dangled from one hairy paw and the other... the other was pulling Lolita toward him. My Lolita. She put her arms around him and kissed him in a way that she never kissed me.  You are very smart man, senor Charlie. I should like to be your friend. Except... you are gringo. And you mistake to make the love to the sweetheart of El Chico. Lancaster for a splendid performance. Mr. Lancaster will return in just a moment. What do you do for an acute case of goose pimples? Well, if I knew, I'd prescribe some for myself.

Well, if you've been outside at all lately, you've probably noticed a drastic change in the landscape. And this week's Northwest Adventure, our Josh Peterson shows us where you can find some of the best fall colors. There's nothing quite like the sights and sounds of fall. Each day, just about everywhere you look, the scenery around northern and central Minnesota has exploded with bright and vibrant colors. While this is a common yearly sight, we are seeing these bold colors earlier than past years. It looks like we are hitting peak right now in north central and northwestern Minnesota. With the maples already turning nice colors of yellow and orange, some red even. One contributing factor to the early showing is the moderate drought the area had last summer. The lack of moisture accelerated the process and has provided Minnesotans and its guests with a kaleidoscope of color. Things like drought can already kind of stress a tree going into this, this changing photo period. So the drought actually will factor in but it'll just cause leaves maybe to drop a little earlier than they would have otherwise. One way to find the best colors in the area is by going online and checking the fall color finder, courtesy of the Minnesota DNR. The map is updated weekly and provides an opportunity for fall color seekers to post and share their colorful photos. If you're looking to get out and explore the fall colors, the Minnesota DNR recommends starting in your own backyard and visiting your local state park. Well, I think our maples are really going to peak this week. We still have oaks ahead of us and of course the Tamarack are even later in the season. So for us, it's pretty spread out and we enjoy that. There's, it's a lovely time of year. Around this time each year, the park begins to see an increase in visitors who are simply there to explore the park and take in its natural and colorful fall beauty. I would say that we definitely get people that are out looking for fall colors. And they may be local people just out for a day trip. They might come through here, take a walk along Rocky Point. The fall colors don't last long. And if you want to check out the scenery before that last leaf drops, it's best to do so sooner rather than later.

Because we've got so much, you know, it's summertime and lots of people are going to be traveling and more and more of us are able to travel internationally. Coming back into the U. S. You have to go through passport control. Of course, you have to do that in other countries, too. But as a U. S. Citizen, you have the ability to sign up for global entry, which is like It includes pre check, but you know, I'll call it pre check in reverse. It gives you the fast lane when you are coming back in through, uh, through immigration control into the U. S. Through passport control. If you do not have global entry, there are two other lines available to U. S. Citizens. One is the cattle call line that everybody else gets in and it's long and therefore slow, not that the people that are processing it are slow, but there's just more people in line to be processed. And then between the global entry line, which is short and fast.  I just like they took my global entry card in a little machine. I didn't know when you scan. It scans the barcode on your global. It scanned my face. I didn't you don't need your global entry card for, uh, for flying. You need it for, uh, land crossings. But your passport's in it. But yeah, it just like it saw my, I guess my retina scan. That was the end of that. They're like, Yeah, you're good to go. Here's your receipt. Go to the front. Uh, but there's a short little line in between the cattle call line and the global entry line. And that is for people using the free to use mobile passport app. I mentioned this to my son because Lisa and I have global entry, but my two kids do not. And he, as we were getting off the plane, walking down the corridor of the plane and then the corridor and Boston Logan, he put both his passport and, uh, his sister, my daughter's passport into the mobile passport app, processed it, said, yep, we're here. Did all the things, walked right up to the front. They were almost through faster than we were with global entry. So, and they didn't have to go through the whole global entry interview process. Yep. Yep. Anybody can do it. It's free. It doesn't cost any, like there's no, you don't have to do anything in advance. Clearly, uh, you just, you know, as soon as he had data on the ground, he was like, I'm good to go. Okay. Scan the passport and you're done. Government enters the electronic age. I know. So I wanted to make sure to share that. I know we're, we're a little over time here, whatever that means these days, but, um, but super handy if you're doing any international travel and, uh, I wanted to make sure everybody, everybody knew about it.


I noticed the free speech issue, I guess really after 9-11, and I noticed it really on two sides of it. There was a sudden rise of patriotism where you couldn't criticize Bush, and there was a sudden pushback against anybody who criticized Bush. And I was very critical of Bush on his right, if you will. I thought he was a wimp. So I thought to deal with the threat that we really faced, you need to be a lot tougher and you need to be... And people say, no, you can't do that, you can't criticize Bush. And then, so that was kind of from the right, and then from the left, oh my God, I mean, people would yell me down and demonstrate and attack, and I was, I don't know if you know Daniel Pipes, but I was often with Daniel Pipes doing events after 9-11, and it was just mayhem. I noticed that then, I think before that I really did take it for granted. Acknowledging the academic side, I think that's always existed. I think if you're pushing the envelope in academia, even on whether what you're doing is right or wrong, I mean, put that aside, just pushing the envelope and challenging the authorities to be. It's part of the tenure system. They reinforce themselves. It's always there. But on the culture, it was 9-11 really struck me as this real change in the culture. Yeah, I think I probably agree with that because there are different consequences to trying to restrict someone's open and honest dialogue about an issue. And I suppose there is no greater important issue on a civilizational scale than how we handle the issue of whether Islamic doctrines are consistent with our secular liberal democracies and so on. And so in that sense, I agree with you. What amazes me is the extent to which, and I've weighed in on this in other venues, the extent to which my academic colleagues refuse to even engage in a discussion on this topic, even in contexts where no one could know that they're taking these positions. So even if I want to have a private conversation with someone at a conference sitting at a bar, the amount of hedging that they engage is. And it shows you, I mean, if you are this afraid given the current demographic realities, do you want me to predict what's going to happen to your fear when it's 10 times where we are today? So I think I agree with you that the sort of the issue went on steroids is precisely when Islam became so central to our daily lives. Why do you think that is? What is it? Because it's absolutely that. It's as if they've got a battle going on in their own minds. I'm not supposed to think this. I'm not supposed to say this. I'm not even supposed to hear this. And so you can't even have that conversation one-on-one with people because they're so afraid of the consequences, I guess. So I think it's twofold. Let's talk about sort of the more banal one. Well, banal, but even more consequential, people are literally physically afraid. I always tell people who think that all religions are equal. I say, why don't I set up three different websites for you under your name? And one will be critical of Jainism. One will be critical of Jehovah's Witness. One will be critical of Islam. And we will post your personal address and then let's test your idea. That's a very easy way to empirically test your position. And then of course they kind of shut their mouths, right? But I think a second reason that's maybe a bit more difficult to actually penetrate is the fact that people have been parasitized by this notion that it is uniquely gauche and inappropriate to criticize Islam. Because, you know, it is a religion of the brown person. It is the religion of the downtrodden. Even though in most places where Islam rules, it's by far the majority. In most of the cultures, it's 98, 99, 100 percent. So they're hardly the minority in terms of the places where Islam rules. They really rule. But they're still downtrodden in the sense of they're still poor. They're poor. They're refugees. They're noble. They're exotic, right? And so to criticize Christianity is extraordinarily progressive.  If I criticize something as idiotic, if not more so in Islam, well, that's just racist and bigoted. And so until we're able to convince people that there is nothing unique about Islam in your capability to attack it, to critique it, to ridicule it, to mock it, then we're going to have this problem. Well, I was giving a talk at Oxford and this one professor tried to convince me that while it was okay to criticize the West for slavery, it was wrong to criticize other cultures for slavery.  And it was a woman and I said, so you're okay with the way women are treated in Saudi Arabia? And she said I wouldn't be okay with it if I were treated like this here, but I can't comment on I can't have a position because it's multiculturalism. It's so insidious. It's unbelievable. Look, my next book will deal with what I call idea pathogens, right? I analogize biological pathogens that parasitize brains. So, you know, the classic example I give, but there are many of these that I'll be covering in the book. There's a mice can be infected with a particular parasite that causes it to lose its innate fear of cats, right? Well, that's not a very good thing to not be afraid of cats when you are a mouse, right? There are ungulates, so elk, moose, deer, that when they become parasitized by a particular brainworm, they start engaging in what's called circling behavior. They go around and circle and they cannot extricate themselves. So if the predators are coming, they will still go around. So I argue that in the same way that there is this class of biological pathogens, human beings can also be parasitized by idea pathogens that will lead us down the path, you know, towards the abyss of infinite lunacy. So multiculturalism, identity politics, cultural relativism, postmodernism, radical feminism, all of these, each of them might not be sufficient to, you know, make you collapse your edifice of reason, but put together it becomes a tsunami of nonsense that's difficult to defeat. Yeah, and I think that's fascinating because all ideas, I mean, all bad ideas are going to generate that. It's just a question of how many and to what extent. And I think, and this relates, we'll talk about this more, I think, I think reason is an achievement, right?  The default is religion and mysticism of all, because I consider many of these ideologies mystical because they're not rooted in reality. They're not rooted in fact. So the default is mysticism in this and reason is an achievement. And if you let go of reason in any one of these ways, disaster follows, whether it's a civilizational disaster or individual disaster, it's a disaster follows. So what you're basically saying is that it's easy for human minds to be parasitized by idiotic viruses. And you're exactly right. It takes great effort to actually not be parasitized, to be inoculated from these pathogens. You're right, absolutely.  That effort to engage your reason is the essence of what free will is. It's to turn it on or to turn it off to engage in the efforts or not. I was going to say be careful. Never say free will with Sam Harris. You'll get very upset. Oh, no, no, I, you know, I know every one of these members of the intellectual doc web, I have a whole list of things that I disagree with each one of them. It's, you know, it's interesting. It makes for lively conversations. Thus, although many of them, many of them are avoiding me. So I was invited two weeks ago, I was speaking at the Association for Psychological Science Conference in San Francisco. And I was delighted to be invited by, I guess, the gentleman who coined the term Eric Weinstein. Oh, yes, yes. He invited me and he was maybe he doesn't want me to say this, but we're speaking on the phone. He said, I just want to let you know that it wasn't me who did not include you in that list of. And that I think it's, I mean, he was being very gracious because at one point I was trolling the New York Times author who had.  Why, why did I was trolling her? I was having fun. I had a smile on my face. I said, don't worry about it, Eric. I'll learn to love again. It's okay. Yeah. I think I'll always be on the margins, but I think you are deeply embedded in the intellectual doc web. So I think it'll be a while before anybody embraces me inside, except Dave. Dave seems to be the connector and the person who links us all together, which is wonderful. I mean, it's just, I love the guy. He's fantastic. I actually saw a thing somewhere. I don't know where that had done exactly what you said. Sort of a first level sociometric analysis. And I think Dave was the top connector of all the examples. I think that's absolutely right. I think that's right. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, so I mean, Islam really functions as one of these, but it's, but you know, I've always viewed that the, the civilizational issue. And I wonder what you think of this is not Islam because I think it's pretty pathetic. It's us, right? It's our inability to define and defend Western values, what it is to mean Western values. If we actually had that conception, they would be a little, they would be a pest, a little pest that we could get rid of. It's not, you know, they don't really have the weapons or the intellectual firepower, any kind of firepower to threaten us. It's our weakness. 100%.  It really, in several versions, it comes from several Islamic leaders and thinkers who have said the following. So I'll kind of paraphrase it. We will not conquer the West militarily. We will conquer the West in three ways through the womb of our women, through Hijra immigration. That's the Arabic word. True. Through by using your miserable freedoms against you. They say it loudly. They get on top of the mountain and give you the exact playbook. And you're exactly right that it is the weakness of the self-confidence in your own values that allows this playbook to play out, right? And I've often said that I despise the Western weakness a lot more than I do the Islamists. Because at least the Islamists are fighting for a cause. You may not like their cause, but at least they've got, they act out their convictions. And you have to respect them for that in some deluded way.  I agree completely. And even those three, so I think they actually hurt their cause when they engage in violence. Because it's a violence that wakes up the Westerner at least for five minutes to defend himself. But those three, all three would be combated easily by the West saying, by the West assimilating them. And I think we have a powerful philosophy, a powerful ideology that would assimilate them. So it turns out that in America the Muslims have fewer kids. That when they're better assimilated, they're fewer kids. All the three kind of drop away because they become American or they become Canadian or they become whatever. It's because we don't demand assimilation. Because we don't know what to assimilate into. Like you ask a European, what is Europe? They don't know. They have no idea. What are Western values? Maybe they think Christianity, but that's their downfall if they think the West is Christianity. It really is the whole Islamic agenda falls apart. If one still West stands on its two feet. But the problem is that the person who is fully assimilated, it takes a very small committed interaction with the holy books to again be revert to being problematic. So my question, and of course you don't know who will succumb to that pull. My thinking is very simple. Any ideology. It doesn't matter which one doesn't have to be only Islam that is incongruent with our foundational values. I don't need to tolerate it. No one needs to tolerate it. So if you wish to come into our cultures and abide by our foundational values without a seeding a single millimeter on any of those values. Welcome in my brother. Let's live together in peace. If you don't, then there are many, many other cultures, many other places where you can exercise your right to your religion. But your religion never supersedes the right of a third party. It's really not that difficult. Yeah, I mean, again, I think if Western cultures committed themselves to separation of church and state, committed themselves to a female genital mutilation as a crime and we will prosecute that crime, committed themselves to actually following the rule of law, then you get that. Then if they come and they don't belong, they leave, but you don't, you never surrender one iota to them. My challenge is that some people would argue we should have a ideological test before they come into the country. And that worries me to no end because giving the government the power to decide on ideology scares the bejesus out of me. So I would rather government never thinks about ideology. We culturally enforce it. And frankly, how difficult would it be for someone who is committed to cause, let's put it charitably mischief to beat any ideological test, right? I mean, it doesn't take an evil genius to beat. What do you think of female genital mutilation? Oh, I abhor it. What do you think of Jews? I love them. What do you think of gays? They're my closest friends. Geez, that took a lot of difficulty for me to beat the ideological test, right? So this is why I think all this vetting stuff is complete nonsense.  No, I agree. I agree. And you know, I've been arguing since 9-11. I don't know your position on this, but I've been arguing since 9-11 that all they need, all the West really needs to do is crush them. It's really defeat them. Make it clear to them they cannot win. Psychologically, it's very difficult to become a passionate suicide bomber for a cause that you know is lost. So if we made it clear to them that their cause was lost, that they had no hope of ever achieving it, I think the appetite for the radicalization for their suicide bombing would decline dramatically and more and more of them would want to go with a winner, which is the West. So let me give you a quick anecdote that comes from saying that the Taliban members use. So they say apparently that the Americans have all the watches, but we have all the time in the world, right? InshaAllah, right? So to speak to your point, I think that the temporal view of those who are committed to having ultimate peace around the world where we all will be under the flag of Islam. So you see Islam is a religion and peace. It seeks peace. We are all under the flag of Islam. How could you say that that's not peaceful, right? And so I think the issue is that the Western mindset is very different in terms of its temporal orientation from sort of the Islamic one or at least the expansionist Islamic one. And again, I hate to preface this. Most Muslims don't think like this and are lovely and are kind and I want my children. So my issue is that the guy sitting on the fence trying to decide am I going to go the Islamist throughout or my go-go just be a normal human being. I think he's swayed to go one direction or the other by way he sees more confidence, where he sees more interest and where he sees victory. So when ISIS was gaining territory, lots of recruits because they were winning. But if ISIS is crushed on day one, if the Saudi theocracy is eliminated, if the theocrats around the world are destroyed, you know, it turns out that November 4th, 1979, the taking of the embassy by Tula Khomeini in Iran was a key moment in Islamist history because it emboldened even Sunnis that said, oh, wow, if we can do it in Iran, if you can get rid of the Shah or Iran, a relatively secular westernized country, then we can do it anyway. And they went to all these other countries and really the modern Islamist movement was started then, Sunni Anshiyat. And if you destroy those models for them, then I think, yeah, there are always going to be a few, always. But the passion, the growth, the excitement, the energy around it, I think dissipates. Let's hope that you're right. Well, nobody will ever do what I argue for. So we'll never actually test that theory.
