Salamu Alaikum peace be upon you, Salamu Alaikum, and may Allah be with you, the best of the best. Thank you for having me here. It's a very interesting topic. I'll get right to it because I'm short on time. The primary text of Islam is called the Quran, as you may or may not know. Muslims believe that it was revealed to the final Abrahamic prophet, that's a prophet with an uppercase P that was Muhammad, peace be upon him, who lived in the 6th and 7th centuries. The Quran explicitly mentions al-Yahud-wan-Nasar, the Jews and the Christians, and gives them the epithet, the honorable epithet, of al-Qadr-u-Qitab in Arabic, which is translated as the people of the book. So initially theologians would, they would interpret the book al-Qitab as being the Bible, the people of the Bible, because the word Bible, literally on it, creates means book, and the Bible in Arabic is called al-Qitab, al-Qitab in Muqattas, or the holy book. Now during the 2nd and 3rd centuries, the Muslim calendar, during the Islamic expansion, Muslims came to realize that there are a lot more religions in the world than just Judaism and Christianity. So theologians at the time, they actually expanded the meaning of the title al-Qitab, the people of the book, to any religion that reveres some sort of sacred text. So Hindus, Buddhists, Soroastrians, etc. So under the Muslim polity in pre-modern times, the religious traditions, these religious traditions were given protected status, freedom of worship, and autonomous rule of their own religious courts. So was there absolutely equal rights amongst all the religions? No, that was not seen anywhere in the world at the time. But what was happening in the Muslim land was really unparalleled at that time throughout the rest of the world. And this is why we find historical Christian communities in Muslim-majority countries even today. So were there atrocities committed? Were there people that were oppressive? Yes. But this idea of hordes of Muslim armies coming in to force people to convert is pretty much a myth. Even the man who wrote the book answered Islam. He actually says that about the reason why the North African Christians actually became Muslims so quickly was because of low taxes and stress on brotherhood. That's the power of taxes. But there's a verse in the Quran on the second chapter, verse 256, that says, there's no compulsion in religion. And this is important, it's interesting because Pope Benedict XVI gave a talk at Regensburg University in Germany September 12th, interesting date, 2006 where he quoted this verse there's no compulsion in religion. And he said, this verse is abrogated. This verse has been canceled by other verses in the Quran which called for fighting the infidel. So abrogation in and of itself is a contentious issue within Quranic sciences. Probably there was authoritative scholar on this issue is an Egyptian scholar named Imam Suyuti, you don't have to remember that, but it's a text that most of the students will know and study. Anyway, he says in there that there are about 19 or 20 or 21 abrogated verses in the Quran and this verse is not one of them. I haven't come across a single scholar in my life that has said that this verse there's no compulsion in religion because it doesn't make sense to abrogate it. You can't force someone to believe in something. I can't force you to believe that the moon is made of cheese. You can say, oh yeah, I believe, I believe but I can't force that in your heart so it doesn't make sense that this verse will be abrogated and there's no precedent for that so I don't know what he's quoting here. We'll give you examples of historical Christian communities in most of the country. The Coptic Christians in Egypt, they've been there for 2000 years. Their claim is that Saint Mark founded their church. The church of the Assyrians in Iraq, which is also called I think they call it the ancient Assyrian church in the east, or ancient apostolic church in the east. Their claim is that Saint Badaeus founded their church. I've lived in Yemen. I've been to monasteries in Yemen. I've met nuns. I've lived in Yemen. I've been to North Africa. I've met Christians there. In fact, according to Pew, there are 50 Muslim-majority countries and there are churches in all of them except for two. And that's Saudi Arabia and Mauritania. Saudi Arabia is sort of weird, etiologically and it's important to use that. But it's interesting, Saudi Arabia, there are 2 million Christians living in Saudi Arabia. There's no church in Saudi Arabia. There are 2 million Christians living in Saudi Arabia. Mostly foreign workers. Which is interesting because per capita there are more Christians living in Saudi Arabia than there are Muslims living in America. Which is interesting. And then so there's about 50 million Christians living in the Muslim-majority world in the Middle East. 50 million compared to about 44 million Muslims living in Egypt. There are more Christians in the Middle East than there are Muslims in Europe. Now, if you look at Muslim Spain or North Africa, it's sometimes called the Golden Age of Judaism. This is when Jewish systematic theology and philosophy crystallized. You have these major classical Jewish works being produced in Arabic rather than in Hebrew. Later translated into Hebrew. I'll just give you a few of them. Kitab al-Amanat, what are they about that? It's called Edwinot Vadorot. This is by Sa'at Yagayo al-Fayyumi, the great scholar in Judaism. Reliefs and opinions. He wrote this book in Arabic. It's an incredible book. I've thumbed through it a little bit. Very difficult. There's another al-Hikaya which is called Khovot Halavavot by Ra'ay Ibn Pakuda. Duties of the heart wrote this in Arabic. You have Kitab al-Khutja with Dali, or called the Khusari Rabbi Ya'uda Halavi. Then you have the two great works by the Israelis. It's called Musa Ibn Maimon al-Qurtubi in Arabic. His first book is called Kitab al-Farahil which is in Hebrew. Sa'at Halavot, the book of the commandments, wrote this in Arabic. Then you have the magnum opus. Very difficult, but incredible. Dila al-Haili, the guide for the perplexed Mourid al-Lukhi by also by Ibaramba. It's one in which other religions are acknowledged and accepted and that these other religions will always be there. So the goal is not global Islamic domination. The goal is peaceful coexistence. The technical legal term for this is Musa al-Laha. If you want to do research on the charter, sometimes called the Constitution of Medina, when the prophet went into Medina, he had a constitution drafted. So you can do a Google search on Medina. However, the Quran does not advocate a type of perennial philosophy where all religions are seen as equally true. According to the Quran, there are correct beliefs and there are incorrect beliefs. There is a way of theologizing or speaking about God as correct and a way of theologizing that is not incarnates or he doesn't. Either Jesus is God or he's not. He's either the Messiah or he isn't. The Quran goes into these issues. The Quran encourages interfaith dialogue. The prophet himself engaged with dialogue with some Nestorian Christians who came to Medina and he housed them in his mosque for three days and they engaged in interfaith dialogue. So me coming here today is considered what I would say a sunnah practice of the prophet himself. There was a Catholic lady who came to the Moslem center moment and she was quite elderly. She said, I remember a time when I was not allowed to go into a mosque. Pre-Valent too. Very interesting. Now in with this, when the prophet was living in Medina, he was the head of state in Medina, the Muslims were living under constant siege in the city. God gave the prophet and the Muslims permission to defend themselves. So the stance in Mecca for 13 years was one of assertive non-violence. And in Medina you have active resistance with specific rules of engagement. So the first verse revealed to the prophet in the Quran chapter 22 verse 39, it gave him permission to physically defend his city. It sounds like this in Arabic. It says all of these verbs are in the passive. It says permission is given to those who are being fought against to fight because they have been wronged and indeed God is able to give them victory. So active resistance or martial action can only be called for by legitimate state authority not by vigilantes and is used to defend one's community. The very next verse says Who are these people, the Muslims that are given permission to defend themselves? They are those who are expelled from their homes unjustifiably. Except that they said our Lord is Allah, our Lord is the God of Abraham and that also entails a belief in the prophet Muhammad. And then the Quran says If God did not check one people against another in other words if God did not reveal a just war theory if God did not reveal rules of engagement when it comes to active resistance the Quran says Then you would have seen many temples synagogues and churches and mosques destroyed where the name of God is celebrated. So the initial impetus for active resistance is to ensure religious pluralism according to the Quran to ensure sacred spaces of worship and devotion for people of various religious traditions and I preempted questions. This is why ISIS is not Islamic it is a plague upon humanity that the prophet actually warned us against. There was a group of early Muslims who broke off the guidance of the prophet they were called the Karajites or the Khawwadij in Arabic and today we have Neo-Karajites people who are violent, exclusivist people who are terrorists and the prophet said they come in waves over time and it's our duty to oppose them so I want you to remember this analogy it's a very effective analogy ISIS is to Islam as the Ku Klux Klan is to Christianity so the question I get all the time is why don't Muslims like you your leaders or scholars why don't you condemn ISIS if you go to a mosque and you start talking about ISIS Muslims start rolling their eyes and you say oh this again why don't you know something else so people who ask for this question I always say that have you ever googled Muslim leaders who condemn ISIS and nobody has ever googled it so I'll just mention a few things here the Islamic decided North America or called ISTA they actually released something called the Code of Honor where they condemn ISIS and the organization in North America there's something called the Covenants Initiative Dr. John Andrew Moro is spearheading that this is something that is known in North America as well where he condemns ISIS and he has signatories to that there's something called the open letter to Baladi the so-called caliph of ISIS there's 120 signatories by scholars all around the Muslim world these are people who have swayed over the hearts and minds of millions of people condemning ISIS the Council on American Islamic Relations which is called CARE it's constantly condemning and repudiating ISIS there's something called the Muslim Council of Great Britain in 2014 that released a statement condemning ISIS there's an incredible book written by an incredible scholar of Damascus he's a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad he's a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad it's called Refuting ISIS he wrote it in Arabic and then he himself translated it into English it's very short you can probably find it online quite easily refuting ISIS an ideological refutation of ISIS you have the Muslim Public Affairs Council in 2014 that released a statement condemning ISIS you have the Amman message where 200 scholars signed a declaration of Amman Jordan denouncing ISIS a fatwa that was issued by Al-Azhar University the oldest university on the planet in 2014 that denounced ISIS the Arab League in 2014 made a statement denouncing ISIS in December of 2015 100,000 Indian scholars and teachers signed a declaration 100,000 denouncing ISIS and then you have the Marrakesh and Morocco Declaration denouncing ISIS so these things are out there but it's strange how they don't make it into the MSN or mainstream media as it were I know I'm out of time so I'm going to stop at this point hopefully I answered the question I'm looking forward to your questions and conversations later, thank you for your attention we now open up the floor to questions and we do have a microphone that is going to go around and wherever it is so just raise your hand and you'll get a microphone there's a person right there and try to keep your questions short and on the topic since we only have an hour for this event yes sir oh you need a microphone oh she has a mic, I'm sorry forget about your pleasure I'll talk really fast I'll talk with Boston talk thank you very much, it was very informative talk and I appreciate it as a former Catholic I was condemned to hell if I were to go into a Protestant church let alone a Muslim one of the most glorious experiences in my life was in southern India Muslims, the Christians and the Hindi all had places of worship and often walked together in the street it was absolutely phenomenal and so my question to you would be would you ever see that that might happen here in the United States where we're all accepting of others, religions and the ultimate worship I think we have that here I think with respect to that America is the top of the list as far as acceptance and toleration of religions I'll tell you this I've outside of elementary school I've never experienced any type of and I used to debate Christians by the way I used to be a Muslim telephysicist when I was an undergrad at high school you're young, you're not married you have all this energy positive responses no one's ever pulled me insulted me kids do these types of things and it's interesting I have a friend who lives in Iraq he's actually my wife's teacher's husband my wife's Arabic teacher's husband and when I was in Yemen he was one of my teachers there and he says there's American soldiers around the corner they're going to kill all of us and then he says to me how are you living in America are you constantly threatened every day by people I've never in my life been threatened one time so as far as that goes I think America is actually a model of the rest of the world obviously it's not a perfect society but society is perfect yes and then there's a gentleman here you raised a very important point about the various Muslim organizations that have come out against ISIS and my question is why haven't majored, I mean this is big, why aren't they telling people that Muslims have objected I mean that would cover so many take care of so many concerns I don't know how to ask them you have to ask questions like who actually runs the media those are real questions that I think we're being diverted from so that's what I would do if I were you in research who actually are these people actually doing things for our best interest what's actually happening who are these people, we can find out who these people are we see any differences variations of toleration of other faith traditions between Sunni and Shia Muslim that's a good question certainly with the invasion of Iraq it's kind of created a power factor in Iraq now Sunnis and Shias have been around for 1200 years and in Iraq they've lived in a relative peace the major difference between a negligible difference there's really no difference that's major but the difference is in political theory who who should rule the Muslim or nation as it were the Shias say it must be a descendant of the prophet so I think a lot of these things I think there's always been little pockets of disputed violence since since the middle ages even before that but I think with what's going on in the news those little things are sort of the grand eyes put forward and presented as sort of this global conflict you know so there's the I call it the Santa Claus effect you know you have the the true Santa Claus was a fourth century Christian priest who used to give candy to children that he died when he was gone and you have this sort of mythological Santa Claus that flies around at night and goes under a chimney that doesn't really exist so a lot of this idea of your next neighbor could be Al-Qaeda you know even if he's a nice guy you know that's called Taqiyyah they learn these words that 99.9% of Muslims that they're even heard of right but you know people like Daniel Pipes for example he puts it out there and says you know the Muslim is nice to you and tells you he doesn't want to kill you he's lying because he's sanctioned by God to lie to you and you can steal it and you can do that and don't kill you later what I did a PhD in Islam I didn't learn about this yeah there's something in the deep dark sort of recesses of Sharia that you know the guy has gone to your head and says are you Muslim you can say no Sharia to save your life but this thing is sort of just a grand die so this is what all Muslims are doing they believe in us they believe in America we see our differences do you have a question? bring it down on back here okay I know as you use the term Muslim majority nations it's kind of politically correct that it can be used but I don't think we have our situation if we obscure what really is going on in reality the history of Islam has been more just Muslim majority it's been Muslim rule and wherever Islam has spread to what's got past a certain extent it has sought to establish its own rule whether it be the kind of separatist movement or even taking over governments of the countries where it has spread so I wanted to I ran Christianity I feel like that history separating church and state we have more to learn less of that I really want to challenge this I think we have to be honest there's still a problem with Islam the lack of separation of mosque and state and really throughout the Middle East what you have most majority nations under Islamic rule so do you have a question? do we have to say I think a lot of people feel this way but are afraid to bring that up I would agree with you the pre-modern world you have empires vying for land I also think that a lot of what's happening in Muslim majority countries what you call a PC term is a direct result of the area that Muslims have necessarily recovered from and then as far as under Islamic rule the Quran does not mandate any form of government if you can show me a verse in the Quran that says thou shalt have a theocracy I'll be glad to agree with you that there should be no separation of mosque and state which is a kingdom and the early Muslims when the caliphate became a kingdom a lot of early Muslims they frowned upon that you have democratic movements in the Muslim majority countries Syria in the 1940s and 50s Iran, the president or the prime minister of Iran was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson but we can't have him he was removed from power by the CIA and the Shah was put in and the Shah was quite cruel and you would torture Muslims my own family members some of them were tortured by him and so you have these sort of I mean Saddam Hussein is another example this is someone who was shaking hand with our defense secretary of defense in the 1980s the CIA trained Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and so did MI5 so you have American or western interests in that region turning that region into absolute chaos for different reasons but you know you have different forms of government all over the Middle East let's take one more question you mentioned that Saudi Arabia is kind of an anomaly can you kind of elucidate a little more about how to frame that yeah it's very interesting again we talk about sacred law Sharia people here Sharia literally means a path to cold water right so Sharia is an indispensable part of this identity it's like saying you can be a Jew but you can't follow Halakha law or you can be a Christian but you can't follow the Bible we're talking about it when most Muslims hear the word Sharia how they think prayer is fasting and like can I eat this because there's jealous of it that's what 99% of Muslims are thinking about so Sharia is very fast there isn't one way of doing Sharia so for example in Afghanistan again a country that's been under attack for 40 years you have places in Afghanistan where women do not leave their homes and they're not allowed to leave their homes and if you say what are people doing that's so oppressive when elders of a certain city will say this is the Sharia that's their interpretation of it if you go over to the border half the physicians Iran's not perfect obviously not perfect but half the physicians in Iran are women 70% of Palestinians are women and if you say well why is it like this they say this is Sharia the acquisition of knowledge is an obligation upon every type of Muslim right so it's very fast now you have Saudi Arabia they have their own laws they say women can't ride cars okay that's their interpretation of the Sharia right and as far as theologically their theological stances are very different than traditional Sunni or even Sharia stances so they're very tech-fairy they've anesthetized Muslims that don't believe exactly as they believe Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest allies by the way which is interesting but anyway not getting too much into politics but so theologically this sort of an outlier this idea that we believe exactly as we believe that we don't consider you Muslim traditional Islam always recognizes defensive opinion and that difference of opinion there's actually a hadith which is not exactly authentic but is quoted a lot by scholars as sort of being true and principle that difference of opinion among scholars is a mercy from God it's not sort of a fitna it's a strife amongst people so there is no true separation of church and state I mean you have Rick Santorum wanting to put abortion into law and he's doing that because he's a Catholic now I'm not saying he shouldn't do that what I'm saying is there's a difference between a secular society and secularism the secularism means let's banish religion to the household not even talk about it at all a secular society allows for religious discourse I mean you can go up there and say abortion is wrong because the bible says so he probably won't get that law passed but he can try and he might convince a few people so religion is on the forefront everyone in the conference almost everyone believes in God so there really is no true separation of religion and the state are never truly divorced anywhere you go around so I think we also have a problem if that's what you want to do create a totally secular society but it's no religion then you're in the wrong country thank you thank you


What? Color changing markers, acrylic paint markers that change color. What are they? What are they about? What's this thing? Like in its fancy little package? We're gonna find out. I'm sorry I hit that so hard. These have been sent to me by Glistra. Glistra, yes. And they're color changing and I'm very excited! So let's just get into it. I'm not sure what paper to use with markers because if I use a Toofy paper they often like break off and all obviously, obviously Paint markers are supposed to be used for like chalkboards and stuff like that. Like that was their main purpose But now people are using them to make art. So it's very exciting for us. Why is it auto-fixing? Don't do that to me camera. Come on. We've got eight colors in here and five colors here a White one it doesn't actually say the color on it, which is a bit odd because Like if they're color changing it would be good to know What colors they change into so you can make an informed decision about your artwork. Um pink Okay, well, I guess we're gonna have a little surprise purple green silver silver Hopefully that'll be a metallic color. That would be pretty cool And what are these ones? These ones are Changing paint it says on the back. I'm interested to see how they change or shadow it got another purple I think there's exactly the same Yeah, we've got a few extras. So we've got the same ones again for some reason And maybe they thought these were like the best colors And then we got oh like that one and then this weird device which has extra nibs in it I don't know if I can rotate that enough for you to see but it does have extra nibs in it It came in its own Came in its own delightful rare package. It kind of looks like something. I don't know Secret and expensive so a little clear plastic box. Oh my gosh Oh Maybe this is what changes the color for shadow invisible luminous Is it a glow in the dark one? Is it a glow in the dark one because that's what we need to know And then it comes with two little nibs. Oh did that fall out? I don't know what that is Is that another nib or is that like Just I don't know a bit of plastic. I'm gonna keep them all in there just in case I need them in a minute I'm just gonna put that to the side. Oh fancy luminous. I think it is glow in the dark because it looks um Pretty glow in the darky It was in fact a glow in the dark pen Okay, let's get down to it I'm just gonna start doing some random testing because we know with paint markers they take a while to like Oh no actually that was relatively quick, right? To come through. Okay. Here we go. Oh, it's super thick It's coming out very very black for this purple. Um Not sure about that not sure why that is the case. Is that part of the color changing does it? I seriously I don't know what about this is color changing They just sent me these markers and there's not really an explanation with them Let's try out. Maybe when they dry they change to like a light color Is that what we're doing here? Let's see. Let's find out. I'm gonna write purple here because we don't know I forgot how to spell purple for like five seconds there and then I panic I want to try this pink This is real time how quick it is to like go down the nib because I know with like Posca's and stuff it does take quite A bit of time, but that could be because the paint is like thicker. I don't know This is coming out exactly the same like black color So now I'm scared This is the pink one Um, what? Let's see. Let's see what happens. Maybe when it dries It's going down quite nice by the way. It's very smooth and juicy. It's that I don't know I always feel weird saying something's juicy. It's a bit Weird, isn't it? This pen is juicy. Okay pink But it's not looking pink right now. They're both looking pretty black I can see this one slightly becoming more of a purple hue I don't know if you guys can see that on camera, but like super slight So I don't know. Um, I'm gonna try this green and hope for the best Hope it doesn't come out completely black because then this video will be very short and uh, thanks for watching It does take like some time to to change basically and then that would be kind of cool because then it's like you drew You drew you draw your picture and then you can see it would be unveiled before your eyes That's pretty cool. I can see that this is a slightly different tint of black, right? So that gives me promise because this is green So that's making me hope that maybe Is it gonna change? Oh, it is changing this one quite quickly Can you see it changing? It was in fact not changing or it's just like for, um, free I can't count either. I can't spell and I can't count. I'm yeah free black rectangles here for artwork Okay, so the pink is looking black. The purple is looking black. The green is looking Slightly metallicky green. I don't know if you could see that maybe in different light. Can you see that? It's like slightly green I'm hoping once they dry they dry a different color or I don't know Maybe I have to use this thing over the top. Maybe I have to use the white. Is it dry? It's dry. So maybe I don't know. I don't know. There are no instructions Let me maybe on the back shake before release. Yeah, it doesn't actually give you any like indication of How these work and I bet some people who have had color changing stuff before are screaming at me through the lens But I can't help it. Oh my god. This is a white and it's coming out black as well. How does that make sense? It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't know what happened to my voice. Super weird voice. Sorry about that Please stay. Please keep watching Oh God, what is this? Like I'm not sure if this is how they're supposed to be or if like In transit they got exposed to the sun too much. I don't know. Like that's just weird, right? Unless this is supposed to be a black. Oh, it is. I'm dumb. It is. No, it isn't. I thought he indicated the color. I'm like, no What's happening? Okay, I'm gonna put white here and be like Maybe it's this thing that I need to use. I think I need to use this because I remember I remember when I was a kid and um You've had those color changing pens and then you had the one that changed it So you ran it over in it.  I don't know. This looks pretty much like it's glow in the dark though. So And I think it is because when I hold it up to my face It glows in dark. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's glow in the dark. It's not doing anything And I've just ruined the nib Brilliant brilliant start to a brilliant show. I hope you're all happy The sarcasm is coming out and I'm very angry and I'm very British right now Okay, let's try this blue I I keep doing that thing where it's like I hope for different different result, but then they're just not Coming out. Okay. This looks slightly less black. I'm gonna just research them Okay, I've come back after some research and it shows That as you use them the more the pigment comes out So Would have been good to know because I'm very confused by that but as you go it should show you Stuff Come on and it they should become more like metallicy as you go, which is kind of cool I guess they're more like metallicy colors, but I wouldn't really call them paint changing color changing markers, right? I don't know. Let's keep going. Maybe I've missed something I'm gonna try and draw something with them and hope for the best The problem is I really do hate being that person who's like quite negative about stuff Actually art supplies because I think like people, you know, they're passionate about making art supplies or something And in the end it's like I'm just maybe reviewing something that people have worked hard on So I don't want to be too like critical But I don't really get these like I'm not understanding what's happening with them yet So I'm just gonna keep drawing and hoping for the best Basically because maybe it's just me not using them correctly Which is a very big possibility because I am actually a new highly surprised guys This is not the average artist. This is the new artist welcome. I tricked you tricked you all So yeah, um, these are looking pretty good As in juicy and then very shiny so you can see here This is the yellow one and you can see a yellow shine to it, but I'm just like that's kind of a weak Shine you can barely see it and uh, we'll see maybe the more I use it the more the pigment comes out Which is kind of what they showed on their channel like I watched a little short video with some kids testing out some stuff So let's see. Let's see how it goes.  What the heck? Yeah, it's how the liquid stay out like as if liquid goes back in What am I on about? I'm trying to find positive things. I guess to talk about these because I'm so excited to try these Right and I'm just like so disappointed like I don't want to be that person who just Poos on everything, you know I'm saying like I want to be someone who's like positive and can find the good and stuff and What the hell am I drawing? Oh my goodness because this is supposed to be yellow But it's not I mean, yes, it is is sparkling yellow on Over the black, so I wouldn't really call that color changing. Would you just gonna cover up her? The mistakes I've made which is nice paint markers are great because you can just uh, they're very forgiving basically And I'm not sure if it's the paper or these markers, but they are not pulling up any of the The paper which is usually what tends to happen with paint markers But I haven't again. I haven't used like this smooth paper before with markers So it's probably me color changing to me is There's a plane color changing to me is when you have like a blue and then over time it changes to pink or Red or something or you apply another color and it changes color like, you know This is not color changing to me. This is just like black with a slight hint of Um shimmer to it, which is not Not what it says on the tin and I think I'm getting down because I don't like to bad mouth stuff a bit Especially I don't know.  This is like I'm not company trying to make stuff and I do appreciate it for what it is like this black with a shimmer kind of cool, but It's not color changing. So if you guys are in the Looking for some black paint markers that have a metallic tint to them Then these are your the perfect fine because they do work really well For that purpose if you go to their website It kind of does show you people using it in real time and how it how it looks But I didn't look at that when I looked at their website. I just kind of looked at oh color changer mark Paint markers cool, and I was like can I have some of those? I think that's what people would see as well If they went to a website to buy something I don't know. You know, I mean you don't really Well, I don't personally watch like videos of products unless it's like a super expensive product Then I probably would do a bit more research, but you know, these are fairly cheap. They're not Terrible I am having a bit of a rant because I thought they were something else than what they are I'm going to finish this picture And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to take one and I'm going to fill a whole a4 page Because I want to see how much paint is in these bad boys And then if I fill a large surface area, which I know fine point is not really Made for But on their video on their channel it shows kids children Painting in large really large stencils of animals and you can really see the metallic shimmer once they're done So if I do that then it's like maybe you get more of the shimmer the more surface area you you find Can you guys see it now the shimmer slightly? Maybe if I up the The light a bit Can you see it's like slightly shimmery of The color so we've got the pink yellow yellow and green here And I think what would be cool to use them with if they hadn't marketed them as color changing to me What would be cool to use them as is a black outline that sort of had that shimmer to it Which would be quite nice. So what I'm going to do Is also test the glow in the dark one. Let's see how glow in the dark it is But also I want to fill up a page with one of these colors and I think I'm going to use one of these extra ones I have which is this pink one, which hasn't been used So we'll start straight away with a fresh one and we'll see how many pages I can fill up with this And if the shimmer works better Sick of this okay, you can see Um that it filled up an entire piece of paper and it's still pretty juicy. It's still got lots inside and uh You can also see that The color changing aspect is still a little meh. Um, you could probably tell that this side is quite Um More pinky than this side. Maybe if you can tell that on the camera quite difficult barely there though in real life so Um, what I'm going to do now is see how they layer. This is my drawing from earlier. That's completely dried now I'm just going to like use some colors over the top of it and just see How it looks if there's anything to see other than black can definitely tell there's a difference There's like a hue of the color right, you know, so it's kind of disappointing. I'm A little bit disappointed because I was looking forward to trying these out And as you can see on the large one, it doesn't really change Depending on how large you make it Um, I also want to try just completely a new one Okay, here's a new one and I'm going to completely shake it because maybe inside that hasn't mixed well enough That's my last stitch effort to see if they will work Okay, so I'm probably shaking this for about a minute So there was some vigorous shaking there and this one is the purple No, it's looking the same. I do also want to try the glow in the dark one So let's just try two different aspects. I'll do one over here like a circle Okay, I'm gonna just do like a circle on her dress and some stripes maybe So let's go and see how this looks in the dark in my bathroom now And as you can see the glow in the dark works actually surprisingly well. That's a cool pen I would say that pen is pretty cool I will be using that in the future a bit more and yeah, so There we go. Look guys. It's quite bright. So that's it guys. That's my review of these color changing pink markers Uh, you can probably tell the difference from me From the beginning of this video to the end I mean, I'm looking forward to using these as line art markers for when I use paint markers. So There we go. I've got a lot of line art markers. So right that's my review And I'm sorry if this video was overly negative. I don't like to be negative But yeah, please check out my patreon guys and thank you again to glistra glistra For um sending me these pens if you guys would like to check these out for whatever reason Their website is in the description box below. Obviously these work well as a black liner pen Very juicy good in that sense good if you want a bit of tint of color As you can see here But apart from that not really color changing. So thanks for watching guys And I will hopefully see you next time. Bye


Leech Lake anglers will be able to keep a wider size range of walleye starting on the 2019 fishing opener. The new regulations which will take effect Saturday May 11th will remove the 20 to 26 inch protected slot and replace it with a regulation similar to the statewide regulation but with a four fish walleye limit only one of which can be over 20 inches. Currently anglers on Leech Lake can keep four fish but must immediately release any walleye that are within a 20 to 26 inch protected slot limit. Only one fish over 26 inches is allowed in possession. The four fish walleye possession limit on Leech Lake has been in effect since 2005 and one of the reasons why they are doing that is the perch population in the lake is lower and they think by doing these walleye regulations the walleye may not eat as much perch and then the perch population may increase kind of summing up.

In the library at Forest View Middle School in Baxter is a room where students are able to work hands-on with new technologies such as virtual reality, 3D printing and more. The makerspace is a popular new concept that allows students to explore and challenge their creativity. With this week's Golden Apple reporter Rachel Johnson has more. Virtual reality, 3D printing and augmented reality typography are just a few things that fill Forest View Middle School's makerspace. My favorite station is probably like the GoPro or the PEN stands and I like the GoPro because you can move around the library and it's like a weird scavenger hunt. The makerspace is a new addition to the middle school this year. We had an extra space where we used to have a computer lab and we've got a planetarium upstairs and we had people coming in from outside the district coming in and the planetarium director wanted to have a separate space. The makerspace lets the students learn and create on their own with adults stepping in only when they need help. A lot of it is learn on your own. You know I'm not going to tell you how to do it and you try to figure it out. If you can't figure it out we'll help you. But I like the thinking harder about things and trying to come up with answers. There are a variety of activities available centering around STEM and the arts. 3D printing is really big, 3D pens are huge. We've got green screen where they can create little plays and things like that. They can create a computer, they can work with circuits. Just a wide variety of art, tech and video. One of the favorite activities in the makerspace is called the virtual reality sandbox where students are able to move the sand to create different typography. It's fun to make mountains and valleys and rivers and lakes. The makerspace offers the students a unique opportunity to explore what interests them. You know when I was growing up I got to experiment and do things and I think that had a big impact on me so this kind of fits what I knew of education and I love seeing kids just pop out of the what do you want me to do into what do I want to do. Along with being educational the makerspace is fun and has been a huge hit with the students. It's just been so fun you know I it's kind of stepping out of my my usual position and just kind of just letting them go and it's amazing how they just pick it up and run with it and sometimes I'll walk behind them and say do you need help no we're fine we're fine you know so it's really been fun to see them just take it on their own. It's awesome yeah reporting from Baxter with this week's Golden Apple Rachel Johnson Lakeland News. Any classes in the area are welcome to use the the makerspace contact the media center at Fortview Middle School for more information.

The tooth enamel is one of the four major tissues that make up the tooth in humans and many other animals, including some species of fish. It makes up the normally visible part of the tooth, covering the crown. The other major tissues are dentin, semantum, and dental pulp. It is a very hard, white-to-off white, highly mineralized substance that acts as a barrier to protect the tooth but can become susceptible to degradation, especially by acids from food and drink. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and contains the highest percentage of minerals, 96%, with water and organic material composing the rest. The primary mineral is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate. Enamel is formed on the tooth while the tooth develops within the gum before it erupts into the mouth. Once fully formed, enamel does not contain blood vessels or nerves. Remineralization of teeth can repair damage to the tooth to a certain degree but damage beyond that cannot be repaired by the body. The maintenance and repair of human tooth enamel is one of the primary concerns of dentistry.


Every morning, I'm so spoiled, every morning Steve brings me a cup of coffee and he brings it to me in my Ember mug and an Ember mug is basically a rechargeable heated coffee mug. It keeps my coffee hot, we like our coffee hot and so that's why we're in the Ember booth with Jake Singer and he's going to tell us about other products, new things coming, what they've got here today. I love to hear it, I start my day that way every day too so I love to hear it. Steve brings you coffee, that's amazing. Come on over any time. Yeah, so along with our typical classic product offerings, we've got our 6oz, 10oz, 14oz mugs with accessory lids available but we recently launched in September our new tumbler, this is 16oz, perfect for a grande coffee from Starbucks. Comes with two lids in the box, got a sliding lid for quick drinking and then a handle carry lid as well, so this one you can for on the go. So both of those come in the box. We have never gotten the travel mugs before, that's kind of interesting, so the mugs at home they sit in a little saucer and that's how they charge, is that how this charges as well? Exactly the same way, yeah and on the charging base on the coaster it'll last all day, keep your coffee hot all day. So that's if you're drinking from your mug, sitting at your desk but if you're on the go that can also hold the charge? Yeah, last for about three hours with the lid on. Oh even I don't drink it that slow so that sounds great. So what's that travel mug called? This is the Ember tumbler and yeah this is our latest greatest so we also have the travel mug so this is the Ember travel mug. I'm sorry tumbler not travel mug, now this is the travel mug, okay great. So the travel mug this is a 12oz mug but the main difference with this is you can actually change the temperature directly on the device itself. He's tapping up and down on the plus buttons here and it says 125, oh I should mention one thing we would like we would actually like to go hotter. Our mugs only go to I think it's 140. 145 is the hottest so 120 to 145 is the total range. We order our coffee at 180 degrees at Starbucks so if you can heat that baby up we'll go even hotter. Okay we'll take the feedback. Maybe not 180 but once you've seen it might be nicer. 145 is pretty hot but yeah most coffees brewed around 185 so 145 is a nice drinking temperature for most people. We're just weirdos. No all good. So actually I don't want you to go past this. I didn't say up front this is an audio podcast. Some people will be watching videos so what have I got my hands on here? So this is the Ember baby bottle. This is the first branch outside of the coffee products for Ember. So we took the heating technology from the mugs and put it into a baby bottle system. You can take your bottle out of the fridge, drop it onto, we've got a smart warming puck which is basically where the batteries are. We've got the bottle itself and then over the bottle you can place our double wall stainless steel vacuum thermos. We call it the thermal dome so you take your bottle out of the fridge you can cover it with the thermal dome. It'll stay cool for up to four hours until you're ready to feed. Oh I was thinking immediately this was going to heat it. This is to keep it cool. The thermal dome keeps it cool and then the system is intended to heat. So you can heat from fridge temperature to body temperature in five minutes. In the same unit. In the same unit. Oh my gosh this is cool. You can double tap the button on the front or if it's in the other room downstairs you can also start heating with your app. Okay this is bananas. I need to take one home with me today for my grandchildren. When I started working on this I had a six month old I had another baby in the meantime while we were working on it I can tell you it is a game changer parents love it. Yeah for travel for home everywhere. Take it on a plane take it in the car even you know before you go to bed you place it on your nightstand it'll keep it cool and when your baby wakes up in the middle of the night it's perfect. Boom five minutes feed the baby. Exactly. Not going out to the kitchen for the bottle off. No. Entirely BPA free dishwasher safe bottles and we also have adapter collars so you can use it. We have our own anticholic ember nipple that we've designed but you can also use Phillips Avent or Dr. Brown's wide nipples. So those adapter collars come in the box. So what is this product called? This is the ember baby bottle. Ember baby bottle and what's the price point on this? $3.99 for the full kit. We also have a starter kit that has the bottle only and or one bottle and one puck without the thermal dome without the adapter collars with a lower lower entry point. But we need the thermal dome and I just want to say thermal dome. All right anything else here we need to see? Yeah if you want to see our our cold technology so we have a cloud based shipping box. So this is the world's first self-refrigerated cloud based shipping box. This is we use this to ship drugs or pharmaceuticals that need to be maintained at refrigerator temperature. So this has onboard cellular and GPS so you can use our cloud based dashboard to track your package in real time. You always know exactly where it is and what temperature it's at so that when the medication arrives at your doorstep. You know it's safe, effective and not spoiled. Wow can you open it up for us show us what's inside? Of course, yeah. Put up the lid and inside we've got a cold ginger ale. You can feel the walls it's actually quite cold in there. It's quite chilly but that's about the size of a ginger ale. Yeah and that's what right now we're shipping drugs like humera and pens that'll fit the payload will fit perfectly in there. So it's maybe three ginger ale stall, one ginger ale white so it's a pretty big box though. It's always at 10, 12 inches on it, 14 inches on a side. I believe 14 inches, 14 inch cube, yeah.  We've got a one touch return to sender. We have an e-ink shipping label display on the front so you can actually just push one button the label will change to the return and it'll notify the carrier to come pick up the box. He said that very blasé but there is an electronic display here that is a shipping label. I mean it's a UPS or somebody, yeah UPS ground and it's electronically put that on. That's crazy. That's really cool. It's very convenient. No printing labels, you know it arrives at your door you take one button and it'll call the carrier and change the label for you. So who is this for again? Who is this for medical companies to ship to you and then you press this return to sender? Exactly, yeah. So right now we're piloting with some of the largest pharmaceutical cold chain distributors. Very very interesting. I'm not going to ask the price point because I don't think it's something that a regular human, not something a regular human would buy but I like the idea of you guys solving this problem. You're going the whole hot to cold thing now. Hot and cold. That's been the vision all along. Yeah, start with the coffee products and the baby bottle and this cold chipper have really been part of the vision since the very beginning of Ember. We're a precise temperature control company. Very good, very good. And where would people find Ember products? Ember.com is the best place. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Apple Store, lots of retailers near you. Alright, we'll be drinking our coffee and thinking of you. Thank you so much. Thanks for coming.

That was the warm-up I can't believe I've done that oof Good job. Good job. So good. So good and just mention moon. You had to fight a boss with three minions Yeah, that's a it's a tough one. It's a tough one Three bosses and each had three minions. Yeah, that's in the portico Portico is pain absolute pain Painful painful painful. We're gonna go for um bubble after bubble after this will be good bum bum bum bubble Nobody likes the portico. No, no one does. It is painful. It is not fun Not very cool or fun And probably why we're not doing it today So, yeah I was thinking about it Yesterday after I finished streaming I could if I wanted to probably finish off celestia in about three streams Maybe four maybe four depending But it's not actually particularly long which is kind of cool Um, we're not gonna finish off in three streams because I'm not streaming for a long time today, but yeah But yeah Yeah, right wyvern, of course Get used to seeing the spell because this is the only spell that these guys know other than colossus It's just how it goes 100 how it goes 410 kablam One shield gone One shield gone 900 not too bad not too bad Can nearly go for another one straight off, but we'll blade first we blade Is the faria harder for team up or soon? um I don't know it depends on I don't really usually use team up much So I don't know I don't know This is a faria harder difficulty wise not really Not really, um Do we just do this? We just do this. We just do this. It'll be fun But yeah, I don't know team up wise because I don't team up usually Usually I'm not looking forward to the trial of spheres. I'm not soloing that either by the way just putting that out there From celestia onwards. I am fine with not soloing everything just saying just saying I just felt like I kind of had to solo most of arc one because I didn't really pull at that in the death walk So I felt kind of bad. I felt kind of bad um Yeah But now I don't really care and definitely Definitely not soloing the trial of spheres if we make it up to there, which we probably will Definitely not doing that Because that just sounds painful absolutely painful um Um Three pips should do nearly 500 Nearly if not 500 and something 583 so close so close Your login and help when I get to trial appreciate that Appreciate that We're just gonna pass we might have the hydra Might be a hydra moment because oh we have a sandstorm if we get it technically will be quicker to get If we get it though otherwise, we're just gonna hydra Please get good tips though gg two down one to go one to go lovely Ha ha cool right one more one more Celestian totality set who would have guessed who would have guessed I have a hundred of those already Raise it right um We do this off the bat This off the bat and then we will win maybe possibly most likely we'll see we will see if we win Ha ha Then after this we've got two three three boss fights a mob fight another boss fight and a defeating collect so many boss fights So many boss fights actually kind of crazy Actually kind of crazy not gonna lie I have to say the floating land is the last good area of celestia before it just becomes pain Painful and defeating collectivy This is the last good area um I don't know if I enchant this kind of not worth it Kind of not worth it. Where is my power pips? Where are my power pips? I demand them Demands and power pips please game would be much appreciated Okay, nope sure thing got it got it got it got it got it. Yep cool, right, okay Fun fight jacks welcome It is not quite morning. It's 12 24 p.m. Which would mean it is afternoon But welcome. How are you? Hope you're doing well Uh one more Discard this don't need it one more One more bit Is it okay to collect different class gear from celestia that you get like for your other character? You can always do that Most of the gear you get though is not pretty good Is not really good But you can do that and you can transfer it through the shed bank That's What people do a lot higher level when you can get multiple class multiple school gear Only if you can do that some some places don't allow you to do that and they don't drop anything by your school Which is kind of silly, but that's one Celestia equals the world of constant quick sell.  They've removed that so sad Stupid celestian totality set being no auction. Why did they make it like that? I don't understand.  Yeah, you can transfer them through the shed bank Which is in your house or dorm room And your other characters can use them as long as they're the right level So as long as they're whatever level like 52 or whatever whatever the level the gear is they need to be that But you can transfer it to them We'll wait one run we wait one We wait one to get sandstorm, then we're gonna have to This is rude. This is rude.  Honestly ice needs to be removed from the game At least it's not weaknesses, I guess Could be worse Your bank gets full You shouldn't be transferring like everything Generally, generally if you're transferring everything, then yes, your bank will get full I would recommend only taking only transferring the stuff that you that is actually good Like this stuff with the highest stats Um, but the bank and shed bank have two separate like Um numbers your bank is for just you and your shared bank is for your characters And they have two separate like amenities. So like there's two separate I think the shared bank is 100 and I can't remember what the default um bank is It must be like 250 or something. Maybe there's 100 again but yeah And if you put it in your shed bank, you can get it off and then you can save space by taking it off and putting it Into the bank of the other wizard or whatever, right? See from crystals one one one two three and four Ahas normal author boom and back to piece Hello, hello, give me give me xp, please. I don't want to beat your silly little bosses Let's see what level I can be to get these spells.  He does crit a lot from memory from memory We do this Yes, we can do this as well I guess I guess You're currently level 53 nice Nice quite a few levels ahead of me But that's fine It's fine. It's not the competition I will probably be over level 50 by the time we finish off the next um X amount of days however many is 16 minus 30 or 30 minus 16. Um, yeah But yeah level 53 pretty good Pretty good. I wish I was level 50 something at the moment getting in chance would be so nice right now so nice But no I have to be I have to be weak little man with no enchants and no power and over so sad So sad My storm wizard is going to be so OP when I come through here next He gonna be actually no next I have to do my life wizard through here. Oh my gosh This is crazy I'm at the point where my life wizard's at I've beaten my life wizard now.  Don't do the accrued Thank you. Um, he's gonna be so big and strong It's gonna be great I'm not good at which spell cards I should put so I feel weak fair Fair enough. I mean even at level 53 in celestia. You should be feeling quite weak because that is Like in my opinion, that's pretty underleveled I usually like to like start celestia at like level 53. So then you'll be about level 55 or 6 by the point that you're at Um But sometimes that's just not possible Wow, that's a fizzle. I'm lucky and then yeah, it does really it really does Determine what you put in your deck. How how easy it feels um generally What I would recommend is if you could get the damage enchants From the sun school trainers around celestia. So there's some in the base camp and then there's um one here and uh In the floating land Then you can train up the damage spells and they enchant your cards that you have so they can do more damage So it makes you feel a little bit stronger um Yeah, that would be my burst recommendation That did nothing to him absolutely nothing I need to heal Need to heal Um, those would be a good recommendation if you feel like you're dying a lot in boss fights specifically I would train fortify from the star school trainer um That one gets better much later in the game where it gets upgraded to brace Which is a lot better um Your ice yeah, I I quested through celestia on my ice recently and that was a little bit of a pain but definitely definitely definitely get um The damage spells damage enchant from the sun trainer um and also get Also get brace is quite good. Um, but you do generally have a lot of shields on ice So you could just use shields instead as well. Um Maybe amplify could be kind of nice That's a star school spell as well that does damage Um, and then kind of just like what I would recommend doing is blading into a frost giant That's what I was doing on my ice and it seemed to work quite well Yeah, the ones that can be enough damage What they upgrade as you go by so I would at level 53 I think you can get the level 51 and the 52 one So I would get both of those which is like strong and tough or something like that Whichever one does more use that one Um, put that on a frost giant and I'll start doing a lot more damage Will be helpful Will be very helpful I would say Um, yeah Yeah, and also just play slowly like if you haven't already um Maybe learn Maybe learn some life spells because at level 50 you start using art art mastery Which means you can switch your pips to life. So you don't have to waste power pips on life spells Um, and that will be quite helpful So being able to heal confidently um Try and shield as much as you can is what I would say especially if you're not like Yeah, if you're feeling weak Just play slower Play slower slow down your combat. Don't try and just like triple blade and hit like I do Don't don't try that if you're feeling weak. Just try and survive a little bit more. So like heal shield Um, and then slowly slowly when you get enough Start like blading up on the side and then hit when you have enough blades or faints or whatever But try and make sure you have like shields up a lot if you're feeling weak That would be my the man's looks cool. That would be my recommendation Wooden chest ha ha my pet has headless horseman spell, but i'm not sure What what it's cool, but he's good Oh, that'll be the jackal lantern is it is that the jackal lantern pet Headless is a good spell. Um, I personally wouldn't use it on an ice wizard though, especially at like level 50 Just simply because you don't really have much of a way to buff To buff it and generally you want to buff spells as much as possible before hitting so they have a more like more hit power the most optimal way to play the game is to simply Blade up so that you cast one spell and it kills him. That's the most optimal way to play the game This man says no help at all.  Um, hi resty. Welcome. How are you? Sometimes this one boss is all right for you. Yeah, usually usually if it's just you versus the boss, you shouldn't die If you die to one boss And it's not cheating um, I would definitely Try and reconsider your play style if you're dying to that You should be fine always with one enemy Anything more I can understand why some people have issues with that I have issues with some fights sometimes sometimes you just get screwed over by rng um But if you're consistently dying to just one like having one thing in the fight That is something you should probably like try and figure out why um We're just gonna heal real fast Real quickly heal Well, there was your balance trusty Flam nice heal nice heal there Also, don't be afraid to heal as well. That is something that I have learned a lot After playing death, just don't be afraid to heal if you need to heal just do it just do it But sometimes it's actually better and if you feel like you should heal you should probably heal Especially if you're going second It's a lot more Crucial to try and like predict what they're gonna do and always think of the worst solution Like what is the worst thing that they can do to you right now? So for example, I would be really nervous casting a blade here I would have probably gone for helping hands if I had it in my deck if I was going second Because I could have 100 died to this and the next run could have died more so Yeah, this is gonna hurt a lot especially since he's correct And maybe I should have healed here. I should have held it there. Oh well I don't even think you heal a helping hands at that point would have worked, but that's fine That's fine. That happens That happens Says I should be worried about heals and continues to not follow my own advice.   This is so sad devastating 92 damage to wow Wow insane Absolutely insane I guess you're using waterworks Yeah, I would assume I would assume Gonna have to bomb for waterworks Yikes Yikes I love how he can do half my health in just one round We really love it really really love it so cool. Once that's crafted in judgment Boots. Yeah Is once that's crafted actually like good On balance I know some schools. It's like really good other schools. It's not good at all What do I want to do? How do I want to deal with this situation? I feel like I have to heal um You get like 107 if you get quick damage bear Fair you'd say yes. I need to look into that. I need to look into that um Level 60 balance Yeah, so I don't think can you Can you like transfer Um, once as I was crafted anymore because I feel like you can't I feel like they fixed that And by fixed it. I mean remove that completely. I can't believe I fizzled my heel again What was this kill? four five Maybe maybe it will kill maybe Maybe maybe maybe Maybe it will die You can because I know when I did it on my myth you couldn't Okay, that easily killed him easily killed I don't know if they've changed it back since But on my myth I could not do that. I crafted it on my death And then I could not trade it Only problem with balance is you need to 7% accuracy drills in zigzag dick to get max accuracy I'm probably not going to go for max accuracy until later anyway Generally, I don't actually mind fizzling. It's a little bit Troublesome at times, but I don't necessarily mind fizzling. I need to find a Thing I want to do this, but I also don't want to do this, but this is all I have so we're going to do This is suicide absolute suicide mission right now Absolute suicide mission Can we please get some actual pips please actual pips? He's gonna try to me next round. It's gonna be so bad I'll crack an even worse. Don't crit this please Please don't crit this Thank you This is emergency heal Emergency heal You got 90% pip and no accuracy Yeah, I mean, I don't really care about accuracy until late game because I know it's not necessarily Gonna happen and honestly I prefer having powerpip over accuracy if I fizzle I fizzle That's fine. I come to accept that but if I if I pip fail I get really annoyed I get really really annoyed because it means you just limit yourself so much um So I prefer having powerpip over accuracy At max level Thank goodness that did not do max at max level. I prefer having both um And sometimes I will like full go stats just as specifically have but we have to do this and hope it does not hit Um storm If it hits storm probably gonna scream The one spell the one school I told you not to hit I still did a lot of damage for storm, but still what the heck game seriously Seriously game And next round we're going for helping. We're dead. We are dead. Yeah, absolutely. This is not cool It's fantastic. Yep. Love this guy. This boss is fun. So fun. I love this boss so much When in doubt Spiritual tribunal comes out see that rhymed. Oh my gosh amazing. I'm a poet Such a poet where is the spirit blade? There's a spirit blade At max or even 150 you can get max both easily even at level 100 you can get both of them max pretty easily It does take a little bit of benangling gear, but Generally you can get both max accuracy and powerpip from level 100 onwards Like relatively easily Boxing is okay the chrysalis on the in the day in your life. Yeah, fair fair fair fair Why does the sky keep coming back? I don't understand it I don't understand how this how the mechanic of the the minion's not coming back works Because sometimes it works as you would expect it to and other times it does not other times the minion is just back for no reason I just don't get it. Why would you crit this? Oh my gosh I love the instant half health. I love it. It's so cool. So fun. Thanks game So fun. Um measure accounts though. So gear isn't a problem. Fair enough Um I don't want to do this already. I don't want to do this already Oh my gosh Actually the worst I think I had problems on despite all my death as well Hacken yield day Probably super easy on the dead now But the whole like instant crit into all of your health Abliterated is not nice on round one where you can't do anything because you go second Kinda not great Just saying Kinda not great And this is why We should always go first like in pirate We should always go first There shouldn't be an option to not go first You should always go first always because it just doesn't make any sense how you can get absolutely obliterated round one without doing anything like I couldn't have even prevented that because The only way I could have prevented that is if I had crit block But I can't get crit block because you don't get enough xp and dragon spire To get to level 50 before you get to celestia So there's literally no way I could have prevented that at all and that frustrates me I don't mind if I make a mistake and then I die. That's okay. That's cool. That's on me But if I can't even prevent anything from happening Like how's that fear? How's that fear? Really isn't Why is it getting me to download ravenwood? I've been there too many times Um, I don't know It's strange Is strange is it are you sure it's ravenwood and not something that is in there Because sometimes when people have light mounts that have been recently released or gear that has been recently released you need to download it And it only triggers that when when you see them Or making an option to go first or second for a bit of challenge Yeah, but going second doesn't really offer any challenge Going second is not challenging. It's just frustrating It's not challenging. You can do as much as you can going second. It doesn't affect gameplay much Yeah, it's a little bit easier when you go first, but you can still generally predict where you have to go It's not challenging. It's just more frustrating And that's the thing I hate about it. It's just more frustrating But no reason It's getting me to read download every area. That's a bit weird That is a bit weird Very odd Um, can we get spiritual tribunal, please? Stop doing their spells. Oh my gosh Oh This is going to be another stream where my pet doesn't heal for the whole stream. It's going to be great So cool Hopefully this hits myth. If this hits myth, we're done. If this doesn't hit myth We are not done and I cry 100% cry I did hit myth Fantastic Get wrecked Hopefully it doesn't have the bug. We're at what happened yesterday Well, every time you change area music loud Lovely, lovely, lovely Right, that is two of the four boss fights some That was large. Yeah, the spell's broken. Sorry Sorry, it's not my fault. It's the game's fault. This bug has been in here since the spell has been implemented in the game That's why I try not use it much That's why I try not use it much, but for some fights.  Hello What Level level 50 I measured me being able to learn. I said no There's not even a balanced one. Wow rigged rigged. There's not even a balanced one. Oh my gosh What happens if I wanted to to pacify myself? Oh my gosh rigged So sad Man So rude, you don't get half the secret training spells. Yeah, so sad So sad So sad I guess we get extra spells here and there But still Little bit rude Little bit rude Little bit rude but that's fine.  No, we also get Game why why sorry, um Uh, we also get the one in marley bone. We get one of the like I think it's Like sacrifice minions still help because I got that the other day We get one and dig more station Um Wasn't this bug like six years ago while this spell was released four years ago and has been in the game since then um Four years ago three years ago a spiritual umus ship of balls Um, when did I post my absolutely terrifying ship of balls? It's been in the game for a long time. I've reported it about six different times They've said they've fixed it about three Has not been fixed yet and they've fixed other spells since then as well. I don't understand why the spell is still yet. It was still an issue um Uh, when did this get released? When did this get released? hmm I don't know. It must have been like 20 18 or 19 I would say But yeah, it's still an issue hasn't gone away should have been The music bug well the bug the bug happens after you cast spiritual tribunal spiritual tribunal makes the music um Go back to default settings even though that's not what you're like what it's set at Because my music is set down here. Whereas it just goes it up to there for no reason um After you cast this spell which is really stupid there might have been another bug where it didn't like Where you change area and it doesn't do that, but that's not the bug that That well, it's probably a it's probably happened since that bug happened um And that one's been fixed But this one has been in the game since the spell has came out where the sound volume after casting spiritual tribunal does not actually Accurately represent what your sound volume actually is. It just puts it back to default um Which is stupid because it means that you absolutely obliterate the edrums of people watching my stream so Yeah, luckily it's not as loud for me because I turned down my game sounds a lot so I can kind of hear what I'm saying as well um But for people who are watching I can't really adjust that on the fly That's why I usually beforehand I turn off my sound and then turn it back on afterwards Usually that fixes it but for the last two days that has not fixed it Um, so I don't know what's up. I don't know what's up with that But it's because of spiritual tribunal. You don't have any problems until you cast that spell After you cast that spell it's not great And it's really bad um, so yeah It's fun There's a different one where every time you go into battle put some music to max. Yeah, I never I never encountered that but I'm not saying it's not a thing But that one's been fixed that one's been fixed. This one is specifically after you cast um Um After you cast spiritual tribunal It used to you just turn your music sound off and on again It would fix it, but yesterday we encountered a bug I don't know what caused it, but when every time I changed an area the music would reset to like max volume Constantly after chain after after the spell was cast It didn't happen before and I played for like hours beforehand For like an hour and a half and then after I did it it started doing it um So I don't quite understand why it's like that We're gonna do this. This isn't gonna do crazy amounts of damage, but it's fine. It's fine. We'll do big on icet But yeah, I haven't heard of that bug But this one is specifically spiritual tribunal and it's been like that since Since it came into the game and it's not been fixed Yet other spells that have had this same problem have been fixed. I don't quite understand it I don't quite get it I don't know if it's just me I'm pretty sure it's not just me I get to a point sometimes with these bugs where I'm like, maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the problem Maybe it's just me. Maybe maybe I'm the one having the issue. It's not actually a bug in the game It's just a bug with me because honestly wouldn't be surprised that boss fight was surprisingly easy I say something nearly did, but that's fine Is fine Let me get the health set set set set set Um right Back to to pot hour Hello Now we collect some idols by little time Yeah, there they are There they are. You have to defeat these guys soon So sad so sad number two um Where is number three? Number three Um and number four. Nope. That's a chest. No, it is not a chest It is an idol easy peasy Easy peasy Jungle tooth these are these guys here. Don't need these. Okay nearly done with this area, which is cool Um terrible hand It's fine though. It is fine. I guess Centaur no way No way kept lamb 500 oof um got so much health so much health So much health why why have so much health It would be fine if I had power nova, but I do not I do not have power nova Makes it very hard Very very hard for me To do this much damage with a singular sandstorm I'll do this That gets rid of two spells, which is good.   Don't quite get why they have 1500 health Okay, we put this up. We hit next three blades probably will do about 600 So that's the less than half their health Just cut that for sure This is guys aren't shielding. Yeah Just wait until they cast spirit armor every single round for like four rounds. Oh a thousand. Okay, that's that's a lot more than I thought I would That's cool It's cool because they have like 500 health left And I'm also going to have like 500 health left in a sec. Actually less than 500 health because this does 500 300 okay 400 health left I'm so worried about this guy.  Why why would you do this to me? He's gonna be up to full health in like five seconds Oh, you're getting it now. You're getting it now at least he fizzled at least he fizzled You know that makes me feel better Get out of here Get out of here.  That's a great question One that I do not know the answer to I'm just hoping that he heals He did not heal. He's gonna trap though because he's a good guy. Just kidding. I'm dead.  Maybe my deck will cooperate with me this time. That would be cool Yes, thank you I don't know why I discovered that but that's fine. I thought it was a elemental blade But that's fine. You know spectral blast who needs it not me not me. I don't need no spectral blast I don't need a blast anything Stop using the spell. Holy moly What is with you and the spell? I don't understand I don't understand your obsess obsession with um With centaur I just don't get it. I don't get it Serif Okay Okay We do this. We go for a balance of power. Then we sandstorm That'll be ideal That is the plan here Triant Ouch Ouch ouch ouch Uh Balance of power Kaplan okay pass cool Cool, right Sandstorm How much damage can you do? Let's find out. Please do close to 1500 Thank you for doing over a thousand. I appreciate that I appreciate that Kaplan Serif Dykes Um 400 Gonna go for this Get sort of our two noob pips Hopefully we can transfer that into a powerpip mix. That would be cool That would be very cool Plus we get a little bit of health a little bit of health Just a schmidgen just a schmidgen of health Yeah, we'll do this We do this And next round we will go for a sandstorm and hopefully that kills Hopefully that kills Would be ideal Would be ideal Stop healing. Oh my gosh Oli moly Why they do this Why they heal? Actually insane Actually a little bit insane 230 around Oof Okay, we go for a judgment next A double bladed three pip judgment.   He didn't crit He didn't crit I said this is not gonna kill This is not even gonna come close to killing because we didn't get any powerpips. Love it Love it. Love it. Love it. Today is the day where Kingsile just tries to screw me over as much as possible Just just as much as why is this five rounds? Who changed this to be five rounds? I don't get it. I really don't get it. Whoever did that honestly Not a fan. Not a fan Not a fan of this five round dot That you cannot remove.   It's so fun. It's so fun not getting powerpips I would take fizzling over not getting power powerpips any day 100% Powerpips is so crucial So crucial Both can screw you over but powerpips just they just they just screw you over less in my opinion Thank goodness That's it. That's it. I'm done. I'm done. These guys are annoying These guys are annoying I really want to get the sixp, but I can't I really cannot I really cannot I just cannot That's the end of the stream today. I apologize. I'm a little bit frustrated Um, yeah, thank you for watching. I probably won't be live for a few days. I would say but Yeah Anyway, thank you for watching who I've enjoyed and I'll catch you all another time as always Roman craft inside the box


What's up guys? My name is Michael and welcome to my YouTube channel. Today we are going to go over this problem called fashion shows, spodged fashion shows. It's another ad hoc problem. Basically you have like a matching dating service and then matches them and they want to maximize the hotness bond between two couples. And the man is rated at hotness level X and a woman is rated at a hotness level Y. The value of the hotness bond is X times Y and basically we want to return the maximum hotness for all couples. Okay? We want to like pair them in such a way that they're maximum hotness. Both fashion shows contain participants each and your job is to find the sum of the hotness bonds for all the couples that MMDS has proposed. This is a very easy problem. Basically it's an easy problem. So you know that the hotness bond is X times Y and if you want to maximize the hotness bonds for all couples you want to get the maximum of all the values and pair them up the hotness level of X for all the men, right? All the men's hotness level, the maximum of those and then pair them up with the maximum hotness level of woman and sum them all up and then that'll be the maximum hotness bonds for all couples. That's basically how you do this problem. Read them both in, sort them in increasing order and multiply them both together and sum them all up. That's basically how you do this problem. And I'll just explain the code to you guys. Our guys, so this is the code, basically read a number of test cases while T minus minus will decrease the number of test cases that we're going to read in the number of people, right? And then we create two vectors, which is the arrays of both men and women. And then we read in, we loop through both of them reading in both the men's values and the woman's values. Then what we do is we just sort both of them, sort the men and sort the woman, right? Now we have a sum variable equals zero and then we're just going to add up the multiplication of each men's value and the woman's value, multiply them together and then we just print out the sum. So that's basically how you do this problem. It's not that difficult. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Ready to come subscribe? I'll check you guys out.


Five days of some of the bloodiest fighting in World War Two, five Marines and one Navy Corpsman raised America's colors atop Mount Sarabachi on the island of Iwo Jima. In the photos of this single act hit the newspapers it quickly became a national symbol for the pride, respect and esteem for all America's fighting forces. Three of these Marines would later be killed in the battle for Iwo Jima. These great men have long lost over our beloved Corps from on high. There's a smile on their faces right now because they know that their sacrifices were not in vain. Nation and the Corps for which they bled and died will make them good hands.


Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with Stock Swashcombe here today to review Microsoft. I went long Microsoft today. Late play today. I had a lot of conviction in this. It was a nice bullish gap. I felt 53 was the target. I didn't quite get there but close enough. It was a nice late play for me to do today with the market and I was looking for something to do because again it was a day to go long. It was a day to go long pretty much like I said everything. Even shorts didn't really fall through today anywhere because of the market. So I went long Microsoft today here and it is very rare that I ever do anything this late but this counts as a hold of 52. It came in here low as 51.93 but it doesn't matter. It counts as a hold of 52 the whole number and then it rallied. I took it on the one minute chart but I inched my way in and here it is. I just took it up into the rally and it was a good good play of timing with the market. And when you do late plays after when you enter any trade any traded off brandy trade up to 10 o'clock then you really need to be with the market unless something opens. It's whooshes. I was out before this but here is the ride up here with the market 115 but the market kept going. So Microsoft was a good long today. If you watched it it was something that I ended up going long on this day was the earnings. I did an option in it prior to the earnings and then went long on the day. Got out luckily the day of the earnings in both the trades fell off a cliff with the market but today it's recovered. Microsoft is a good solid long. It's good. Microsoft's target $60 this year. I mean that will get there sooner rather than later. The stock actually looks stronger than the market. So it was a nice long here today. Lately trained with the market. Nice move. Again today the play was bullish with the market. Gap held quickly this morning and the cues in the spy. Have a great day everyone. If you're interested in more information email me at Melissa at the stockswush.com. Golden Gap class is this week in February 20th and 21st and if you want to learn how to do longs the bullish class is March 8th, 9th and 10th. That's during the week. Have a great night everyone. And email me at Melissa at the stockswush.com if you want more information. Thanks.


My name is Colin, and I want to tell you a story. It's a story about a dream that came true with subtitles. My story started in floating 17 years ago, and when I thought about 17 and I heard Ash Khan this morning give his little poem, I realized I should have written Haiku for this morning. That's a poem with 17 syllables, but I didn't. The Haiku that comes to mind when I think about Ash Khan as a butterfly, may not be the image you all have, but it suits the Haiku that comes to mind, corn down between the rows weaving them together a butterfly goes. That's a little Haiku. Now, 17 years ago we started making float tanks in England, and we made all sorts of shapes and sizes. We made pod type float tanks, we made round ones, we made square ones or rectangular ones, and we made specials for people who wanted something a little bit different. But then the story that I really want to tell you today began three years ago, almost exactly to the day because it was at the conference in Portland. We come from England, but our floating home is here in Portland, and at Portland three years ago I met Dr. Justin Feinstein for the first time, and Justin had a dream, and we met and he said to me, Colin, I have a dream. I want to use floatation for research. I think the float tanks should be round, I think there should be an open one and there should be a closed one, and there should be all sorts of special features that I haven't even thought about yet. Could you do that for me? And I said, yes. And that is how we began for the float tanks at Liber. And Justin's dream began to look like this. It's a facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a great place for it to be because Dr. Jay Shirley it was in Oklahoma City, who actually was the first scientist to start using floatation to examine what happens in our minds. And here at the Liber Center you see we have a quite a big facility with a reception room, an open round float pool for introduction, a central area for all the researchers to actually sit and do whatever they do, and a closed float tank, around one eight foot diameter for some of the experiments. And that dream came true. We had to up our act as float tank manufacturers because Justin wanted the float experience to be as near perfect as he could achieve. So we had to have tighter calibration of the variables than we would normally expect to do. And in particular we had to look at the air, which I think Jim mentioned. In the early days we only worried about float tank solution, the water, the epsom salt, but of course the air that you're breathing is absolutely essential part of the experience of relaxation and the invisibility of the experience that you become unaware of your environment. Obviously we had to look after the water. So it's controlled but like all floatation systems it has to be accurately controlled. We added water with an accurate level system to about one millimeter using reverse osmosis filtration. We have sterilization or I should say disinfection is the correct word by UV and hydrogen peroxide. We have the epsom salt and we maintain the specific gravity at around 1.26, which is ideal for floating. But what's more important is to concentrate on the air. The air temperature should be as close as possible to the water temperature. And controlling it as has been said before is actually more difficult than controlling the water temperature, especially since you want to achieve a relative humidity of 80%. That's the right target. If you have a humidity higher than 80%, you will tend to make it stuffy and you'll get condensation, which is a problem we don't want to have. And if the humidity drops much below 80%, when you're floating the salt begins to crystallize around your body and you start to feel it. So 80% and at the same temperature the water is quite difficult to achieve. So in the open pool it's done by air conditioning system and in the closed pool we have a progressive system. And this is part of the dream diagram that has become reality. At the top of the diagram you see there's a tube where we actually extract air with a fan a long way away. And the air that goes in starts in the green box which is a HEPA filter taking away particles and then we humidify the air with basically a steam box which is under individual control of course and then the black box is we call it the hot box. It heats the air and the whole thing is controlled so that we put into that big round float tank air at the right temperature just the same or slightly higher. It's amazing when you feel a breeze coming in the air feels colder so you we actually have the temperature sometimes a little higher. And so that's the length we had to go to which we wouldn't normally do on a commercial system but it's possibly the way that we should go. And we added a data logging system which runs through the internet so these graphs that you can see here these this is a 24-hour record as it happens they're continuous we can look at these from anywhere in the world and in particular Justin can stay up all night looking at them to see what's going on. And I'm not going to explain every detail because that's not the point. The point is that we can see what's going on in this in this graph you see here the peaks are caused by actually that there's a probe on the actual heater the heater gets much hotter than the rest of the system of course. The green line is the pump as a matter of fact the pump is regularly going through the day you can in this case you see there wasn't much of a float session going on the pump was running intermittently and it rises but the steady lines at the bottom are showing that the air and the water are pretty much at the same temperature and the bottom of the pro of that graph is the humidity and the humidity I don't know if you can see the values but that's hanging around 80 all the time. In the open pool we have a slightly different set of variables and you can see here that's where the where the peaks come in that's where the heater turns on that will be the door opening so the the room cools down a little bit the heaters have to compensate there's a huge gain of course because where you see the blue arrow the temperature of the air and the temperature of the water are the same more or less and they're running through absolutely steady and the point about doing this data logging which is again a very feature for the future is that we can check all kinds of parameters and we learned a lot from watching what happens over the long term. Now noise reduction we have three courses of noise airborne noise is obvious ground-born noise is what comes through the floor and there's heater and ticking noise. Now what we did we found that the hospital has an MRI machine it's not a noisy building normally speaking but an MRI machine is very noisy and when you are floating you could hear it so we had to put the float tanks on springs this is a diagram showing a float tank mounted on the heater which continues heating of course and then mounted on rubber springs and this is what happens this is a a video running with a float tank loaded to the right mass mounted on exactly the kind of springs and here we see we're exciting it with a little motorized drill and we're using an iPad one of these very useful with an app called vibrations and that helps see what that experiment just showed the left hand one is mounted on the floor being excited by a rather gross vibration and that's what happens when you're at the float tank when it's mounted on springs. The ticking there's a bit of a rumor going around that if you have a fiberglass tank and you put heaters underneath it then you're doomed to have ticking and there's obviously truth in the rumor but you don't have to have it we experienced some ticking when everything was really quiet and we dealt with it and it doesn't tick it's a question of putting the right technology in place so that is the way that Justin's dream of a research facility using floatation came true and after the break you will hear Justin himself explaining what he did what we did as technologists was produce a float tank system that could be used for clinical research that we can monitor all the variables using an internet connected data logger and that you can control things like the lights by waving at them a little detail it may just be a gimmick but we were quite pleased with it um my time is up that's the end of my story we made a dream come true and I hope our technology can make all your dreams come true and floating can expand all over the world
