Hello, thank you for joining me. I've just arrived at Brims down in the London borough of Enfield We came here once before when we went to have a look at 284 Green Street That was the very normal looking house where the very strange goings-on happened in 1977 it was the house of the Enfield poltergeist train Stansted Express those trains gonna be replaced soon anyway We haven't actually come here to look at trains like I mentioned the house of the Enfield poltergeist Well, we're gonna go there, but and I'll show you that house again And I'll explain why we're going back here when we get to Green Street I've just crossed Alma Road when I last came here. You may remember in the background now I pointed out some tower blocks. That is the Alma estate not there anymore Well, I think one and a half are still there. They've been taken down, but they were quite visible on the skyline They no longer are and here is Green Street There we are, Green Street, London Borough of Enfield. So this is that road. We're back in 1977 Those strange things happened With the Enfield poltergeist haunting the poor family who lived here Today we haven't come here so much to talk about that, but I've already explained that in the other video So have a look at the link on screen now. That does explain that I've come here today to talk about the film The Conjuring 2 which was based on it. Oh, look at this. There's a old lance here there Weird. This is really weird. Look, that's an R-Reg lance here So that's a 76 R-Reg car. So this car would have been brand-new when the Enfield Hauntings were going on. So that is really weird to think that that car was brand-new when all this was going on And here we have it. Very close. That house there 284. The woman at the blue front door. It still says Jesus house on the window In the last video I made quite a lot of people said you should knock on the door and ask to be shown around Well, sorry to disappoint you, but you know it is someone's house I don't think it's appropriate for me to just go knock on the door and say do you mind me coming having a look around Your house. So that's so we're not going to do that. But that is from the public road I can show you that is their house. I mean if a person watching the house Or a person who lives in the house is watching the video then you know And if you have seen anything do please comment and tell me but you know I Do respect the person who lives there probably may not want anything to do with its past Which is you know perfectly fair enough and understandable. So anyway, what we're going to do today with now walk past 284 Green Street My plan is to carry on a couple of miles into Enfield. I said come to talk about the Cundring 2 So what we're going to do we're going to go and see the house where the Cundring 2 was filmed because the ghostly going Don happened there, but that's not where they used it. It's in a quieter road. This is a Sunday afternoon at the moment So it's not so busy, but this is a fairly busy road The road it happened which is Further on into Enfield nearer to Enfield town and is a much quieter road So much more appropriate for filming from watching the film what I can see is Pretty much all of the inside is a set. It's only the outside and I think it's been from looking at Street View and everything It's been modernized quite a lot since then so it won't look exactly the same But that is my plan to go and find the we've seen the house of the Enfield hauntings now Let's go and find the house that where the Cundring 2 was filmed. I'm just gonna carry on walking. I'll see you there I've now been wandering through Enfield for about 45 minutes. It's quite pleasant lots of residential areas So I've just been walking on walking, but now I come to the road where they filmed the Cundring 2 So let's go and find the house Believe it's one of the ones along here. So this is where you see all of the outside goings-on So in the film where you see the police car pulling up That dramatic scene towards the end of the film where they have the final encounter with Valak and And you know Janet and Ed Warren nearly fall out onto the tree, but they don't quite manage it and it happened here This house there So that is not a haunted house, but it played the role of a haunted house in the Cundring 2 So a few things have changed the wall outside the front has been rebuilt since Not sure about the front. I think they might have changed the front door The house next door has had a modern porch put on synth You can see it's quite new so in the film it didn't have that modern porch You can see so that is the bay window upstairs where Where Janice nearly fell out the window and see where that bushes in the front garden. That is where That tree was you know that it was in front of the house It got struck by lightning and it formed that spike that you know Lorraine had had that vision of Ed Warren falling to his death and it very nearly happened Valak was up in the room upstairs But Lorraine she condemned Valak back to hell So yeah, that this is where it happened So two houses about two or three miles apart and two miles apart as the crow flies pretty slightly further to walk here In Enfield, North London One's haunted one isn't but it played a haunted house. So I've quite enjoyed this I think I'm going to have to go home now and watch the Cundring 2 and See it all again. So Here we are really so I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for watching Please do feel free to like subscribe comment tell your friends. Thank you very much for watching. Goodbye

Today's episode, Ecuador's presidential election heads to a second round in October. Our guest joining us from Ecuador today is Pilar Troya, and I'm just honored that she can join us for this episode. She is an Ecuadorian feminist anthropologist. Her main areas of interest are social public policy, especially concerning gender equality and the feminist movement. She has served as an advisor to the Ministry of National Planning and as an advisor and deputy minister, excuse me, to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of Ecuador. She is also a researcher at Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. So before I have her join us, I want to just give all of you just a really quick background. I'm sure most of the audience are aware of what happened on Sunday, August 20th in Ecuador. But let's just give you a brief refresher. So the results of the SNAP presidential elections on the 20th. Luisa Gonzales of the Movimiento Revolucione Siodudana Party on Sunday took a lead in the first round of Ecuador's presidential and legislative elections, which have been marred by political assassinations as the Andean nation struggles with the wave of violence that has brought homicide rates under the current LASO administration to record levels. Gonzales is set to face the surprise second place finisher, Daniel Noboa, in a runoff election in October, according to the National Electoral Council of Ecuador as neither candidate won more than 50% of the ballot. So welcome, Pilar. So nice to have you with us. Thank you for inviting me. It's very nice to be here. So maybe we should start with what technically happened on Sunday, the 20th with the presidential first round election results. And then we should maybe give the audience a really good background as to how these SNAP elections came about and all the violence associated with these elections and why. Yeah, well, it's going to be a bit long then, but let's start. On Sunday, what happened for the second place was a surprise. One of the reasons, a simple one that explained the surprise for most of us is the fact that it's prohibited to publish surveys 10 days before the election. The theory behind is you don't want an influence election. But the people who had access to those surveys were well aware that what was going to happen because it's not that you can produce surveys. You just cannot disseminate or publish them. And it was a surprise for the rest of us because things changed literally over the last week. Of course, there was always a front runner and that never changed. Luisa Gonzales from the revolution that will be the translation of Movimiento Revolución Ciudadana. But the second place was always contested, even the third and the fourth. Every survey that we get to know up until 10 days before the election was at different positions for the other candidates. So it was always pretty close because there was lots of people undecided. Even the last poll published when it was still possible had like, I think 17% of people still undecided. That is a lot of people in a country were voting mandatory. So everyone has to vote. Then what happened also in these elections is that everything changed when one of the presidential candidates, Fernando Villavicencio, was assassinated. And the people took some time to process that assassination and well, before getting into how it was processed and why we end up with Lani and Novoa as the second runner. It's worth remembering that the country is in an economical, political and violence crisis, I would say, the price to a violent. There's an unstoppable tide of violence that began a few years ago, but it's been way worse over the last year and a half, I would say. For you to have an idea in 2017, the rate of violent murders was 5 per 100,000 inhabitants. That was among the lowest in the region, similar to Chile and Uruguay. By the end of 2022, it was 23. And right now some people are saying maybe around 35 and that can reach 40 by the end of the year. That is worse than Brazil, similar to Colombia and Mexico. And only Honduras will be sadly worse in this global statistic. There was not only that candidate that was assassinated, there were like three or two or three other people, most notably two from the Citizen Revolution, one newly elected mayor in Manta, the second biggest port that happened like more than a month ago and a campaign organizer, Peter Vermeo, he was also here. Clearly, police is losing the war with the local gangs that are related to rival Mexican cartels. That's what we know. The business model of these gangs is distorting money and kidnapping people who refuse to pay. So not only wealthy people are caught up in this web, ordinary people also because they extort even in the poor neighborhoods from little money, it happens to everyone. Those gangs are well-armed, well-organized and usually step ahead of the police. That is like a short-term thing that is happening right now. But in the long-term perspective, Ecuador started applying neoliberal policies not with last but with Moreno's government back in 2017 after he betrayed the party and all the government plans he was elected for. So those administrations are more or less the same thing from the point of view of the type of policies they apply. Let me just interrupt for the audience. Lenin Moreno was a successor to Rafael Correa's government and was supposedly going to continue carrying out those same policies and was a traitor to the party and the political process. So sorry, just thank you. No, it's fine. So I see that those two administrations that are doing more or less the same thing. So they start investing less and less in guaranteeing basic rights of the population and investing less in the government. So the fact that, for instance, there's an estimation that now they are investing 3 billion less in security than what was being invested during Correa's government. 3 billion for a small country like Ecuador is a lot of money. And the fact that they were doing this, like reducing the investment in security at the same time that the gangs were getting stronger, there's another factor is that when the peace agreements were signed in 2016 with Colombia that left in our border a lot of small militia kind groups, like paramilitary small groups. And there was no real process to contain them. Before the peace agreements, FARC used Ecuador as a place to rest as some kind of retreat. They don't want to get into fights with the Ecuadorian authorities. So they control that border in a way that they won't allow many criminal activities happen. So when that peace agreement was signed, there are people who wanted to, out of guerrilla, wanted to become criminals and that those were never controlled. That's another factor that is related. But of course, the government also reduced the investment in health, in education, in everything. That creates unemployment and unemployment. It's an opportunity for people for getting into criminal activities again. So it's not just the fact that the cartons were changing its traffic and routes. Ecuador has always been a road for drug trafficking, but now it's also becoming a drug storage site. And the shipping of drugs from Ecuadorian ports have greatly increased. Some people say that it's the third place where they are catching cocaine right now. Even if we don't produce cocaine from both Colombian groups, it's being shipped to Ecuador right now. But when that is happening, if the government stops investing in plastic rights and stops investing in security, of course, you are creating a scenario for increase in crimes and violence. And what has been the response from those governments is like states of emergency that have done little to nothing and also lately reduced the requisites for current fire arms. Like the message was you can arm yourself because we are not able to protect. That's what the population felt. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic also contributed because the specialists said disrupted the narcotrafficking route, so they decided to use Ecuador more consistently. And of course, it was a good spot because they saw what was a weak government. There are many people, many links of last with different types of corrosion. On the one hand, the thing why he was almost in pitch, we will go back to that. But there are also links with the Albanian mafia. And with other narco groups, let's say, those were in different reports that were leaked. Some reports made even by the Ecuadorian police. And there's a crime that is, I think it's important to remember because a close ally of Lasso was assassinated before he was called to testify in one of those cases. And probably his murder was related to that mafia association. Lasso is also mentioned in Pandora Papers, in Panama Papers. So there are many links of himself and his administration and close allies with different networks of corruption and criminal activity. So Lasso was about to be in pitch. And for the people to understand, I think this is very important also that Villa Vicencio, the candidate that was killed, he was the president of the inquiry commission in the parliament. He called the Parliament National Assembly. He was the president of that commission and he was trying to save Lasso by any means necessary. The moment he realized he was not going to be able to save Lasso at the level of the commission that had to produce a report to be presented to the full chamber, he resigned from the commission. So there are some people thinking that Villa Vicencio was kind of left and he was fighting corruption. He was in right wing and he was fighting some kind of corruption very selectively. In the same way we have seen Lofer being done all over Latin America. He wasn't going after Lasso and all the things that I have mentioned, you have to start looking at the internet. You can do a Google search and you will find many references to the things I just said. He wasn't investigating that. He was defending Lasso but he was going after all the people close or allies of the citizen revolution and in general parts of the land. So for me it was a fake fight against corruption. It was based on Lofer. That was what Villa Vicencio was doing. But he is still creating a scenario where the mainstream media and all the political opposition start saying that Korea was responsible. Which is what they always say. No matter what happens, Korea is the country. Korea is to be blamed. He did it. No matter what, everything is his fault even if he has not been in the country for like seven years. And the government has not been alive to the citizen revolution since I would say October 2017 if you want to be precise. So that assassination provoked Luisa Gonzalez and Andres Arauz that is the runners for president and vice president to lose votes actually. Because of that narrative around Korea being the culprit which has no sense because since Villa Vicencio was more aligned to the right clearly. It was less vote, sorry less runner in the right that is worse for the left because the right has become stronger with less runner. So the idea that Korea has anything to do with that assassination is frankly ridiculous because it doesn't make sense even from a perverse tactical point of view. I may say.  And Novoa, who is the son of the richest man of Ecuador, his father is Alvaro Novoa in the business of exporting bananas. He is not was not so well known, but he had a good participation in the debate and he assumed a position that like putting himself apart from that big division that we have in Ecuador between who is in favor of Korea's ideals, you would say, and who is against. That's a huge divide happens in a very similar way in Brazil and in Argentina. Who are in favor of Kitchener in Argentina and who are against, who are in favor of Lula here in Brazil and who are against. This is a very similar divide, but he took a step aside from that polarization. People who know about electoral campaigns said that that won votes for him. Luisa Gonzalez, we have to acknowledge that even if her position is the most progressive work to the left. He didn't have a good participation in the debate. And the other thing that helps Novoa be in the second in the ballot is the fact that he's perceived as new. Even if he's not that new, he was part of the National Assembly. He was a congressman, briefly, the congress that was just closed for then it's like a year and a half, but he's seen as new, still kind of kind of outsider in that sense. And he is married to a social media influencer. So he has a good strategy on social media and of course all the money in the world to run his campaign. He's not short of money running his campaign and it seems he gained the most votes among young people, which is really, really sad. Because in political and ideological terms, he will only continue what Lasso and Moreno have done so far, because they don't believe in the need of government and state protecting basic rights, providing housing, health, education for the people. They believe the state is only their tool for making more money regardless of anything else. In that sense, another thing that happened on Sunday that is interesting is that Ecuadorians vote in favor of preserving the environment. There were two different questions asked at the same time of the election, one to keep, two referendums, one to keep the oil in the ground in the area in the southern part of Ecuadorian Amazon in an area called Yasuni ITT. And the other was a local referendum just for the Quito, the municipality of Quito to stop all forms of mining in a biome called Chocoandino, that is exclusive of the north of Ecuador and the south of Colombia. And those are interesting steps in the sense that we need to engage in every day from all that is left. But it will be hard for any new government because they will lose money from oil exploitation and they will have to pay for the removal of all the equipment and everything that was already there in a part of that, in part of that area in the Amazon because oil has been exploited there since at least two or three years. Wow, so I can't, I've got a ton of notes here. I guess first, my first impression in listening to the history running up from Rafael Correa's final administration through Moreno Lasso and Sunday's first round elections has had almost scenes in listening to you that this is just my my impression for the audience that, you know, the crime, the destabilization of the country was intentional. I mean, just to undo so much and or not resolve intentionally not resolve things going forward, it just, it gets incredible, actually sad, actually. And then, just for the audience arouse the vice presidential candidate arouse he was the presidential candidate in April of 2021. Correct. Yeah, just, I was actually there for those elections as an observer. And what else I guess let's talk a little bit about. Oh, with the regional elections earlier this year you mentioned that that an RC can't make mayor on the newly elected mayor was assassinated. This was a huge turnaround in the country to see the come back in places like Guayaquil and I mean for people like me that was pretty exciting to see because it had been, you know, some pretty big wins in the regional elections. And I had forgotten about the mayoral assassination. I'm sorry, I had forgotten about that. I mean, you've said there's a split in the country I think it's really, really clear what's, what's trying to re percolate and pretty strongly, and then the forces that are trying to keep, you know, a progressive government down to really keep. And I would argue the destabilization and I think we see this in the states to the complete destabilization of education and healthcare and infrastructure is really to keep, you know, a really harsh neoliberal model in place. And there's very few there's a very small percentage of people that that benefit from that that system but it's, it's really harsh and not just an Ecuador, regarding the two referendums about the mining and the oil. Those are kind of tricky, I think, because there's so much of the global south that is trying to keep natural resources in the country, not stop extraction, but use the extraction industries to create manufacturing and and the exportation of finished products at home versus a share neocolonial model where the natural resources just get extracted and, and are for the benefit of principally the global north. But it's, it's tough to, I mean I think a lot of us who would say well environmentally it's great. But how do you replace those economies, they can't be replaced overnight. And I think you said it's going to be tough for the for an incoming government. It's going to be tough if the incoming government is on the left. That means if Luisa Gonzalez and Revolution Ciudadana wins, because they will, they will try its best to invest in the people and develop the country, manufacture the country or the right. There is no issue because they don't want the state to invest in the people. So if they have the money that we say oh we have no money, but we will pay or debt to the IMF, not even not even on time, ahead of time, like they did during the pandemic when people were literally dying on the streets, they were paying the external debt instead of helping the people. And yeah, there's no easy way out and the other part, the other thing that we have to be clear that it's a small portion of the Amazon is not at a big part. There has been several attempts to make it otherwise doing for the administration. There was a proposal for the international community to pay to Ecuador for keeping the oil in the ground, but it was like we needed something around 350 US million dollars per year during, I don't remember, 10 years, something like that. And of course, the international community didn't contribute. There was a whole process, lots of negotiation, but we never reached a very tiny part of that amount and then it was decided that it should be exploited. But there was a movement, civil society, I would say movement that never stopped in trying to approve this proposal, that is a really old idea that was created by civil society around keeping the oil in the ground. Yeah, it was brilliant. And it really called the world just, you know, what do we want as a species? And it didn't happen. It was very sad. Yeah, it's very difficult. And well, about the local elections, it was an important turn in the direction that the whole country was going that seemed to be totally neoliberal. Yeah, Revolución Ciudadana won the main cities, the main provinces as well. Even our government is not federal, so the authorities of the provinces don't have that much authority as a governor in a federal government. But even though it's important, but I also like the fact that our runners, but one are not fascists, because that was one thing that I was scared of, like having someone similar to your Trump, Brazil's Bolsonaro or the new famous gay in Argentina, Millet. So we had our own similar to those called Jan Topik, who said he was part of the Lejeune fan says he was the French Legion. He wanted to arm each and every citizen as a solution to the tide of violence. It was terrible. And I was afraid because that's the way populations normally react. If you are suffering lots of violence and you feel you're under threat all the time, you want to use violence again to counteract that we are the violence that you are experiencing. But he was left out and that has to do with the assassination and I'm a bit hopeful because finally we are choosing between the normal right and a fascist right so we don't have a fascist in the second round. But that doesn't change what you also mentioned. The fact that the way they are doing things, the lack of control over violence, the lack of interest, it seems to control the criminality, the narcotrafficking and everything. Maybe it's signaling that they are taking a path of trying to make the neoliberal policies stronger throughout the story. It's a very authoritarian way of having a neoliberal policy in place and crashing all types of resistance because politically another conclusion that is very sad is that there is no one representing the huge popular uprisings that happened in 2019 and in 2022. So I would say that out of those two big protests, the one in 2019 probably the biggest ever in Ecuador or at least the biggest in the last 50 years for sure. And the one in 2022 was also very big. But then what happens? The political party that should represent the indigenous movement that was always on the lead on those uprisings. The coup is the name of that political party was already more on the right than anything and they prevented the first attempt to impeach last right after the protests in June 2022. So he wasn't impeached then and he was saved. He partially believed that part of it. They did it part of that party. They didn't want to vote right now again for the impeachment. They were against the impeachment. So it's pretty sad because the candidate that should have been the candidate of that process and of the indigenous movement he couldn't run or Leonidas Issa because he requested that the party expel those who have allied with Lasso's with Aspa Chacuti. So the most progressive option, of course, is Liza González. It's important to know that they are just part of a party, a group of people that have worked before in the state and have experienced about how to do things in favor of the majority and not just for the few. And maybe the only political gain out of those big rebellions and have a fascist in a relevant position. But how long will it last in the worst scenario if Nogua gets elected? He continues the same policies because I'm sure he will continue doing more or less the same or going strong in the path of arming the population. And violence and criminality continues. Then that is fertile ground for beating our own new faces. And that worries me right now. Yeah, it's almost, and you see this in a number of countries by own as well. I mean, I'm talking with you in the audience today from Venezuela, but when in the states you just see the free flow of weapons among citizens, the destabilization through drug abuse and lack of education, lack of economic opportunity. It seems like an intentional destabilization to make a nation a total police state because it will require police that are trained and armed at the level of a military to maintain stability if things get so bad. And it's very, it's really disconcerting. And then to see anybody, I'm sorry, go ahead. I was about to say one thing that I was forgetting and I think it's important to remember about the police precisely. Police is terribly corrupted. And it seems that even part of the top is in collusion right now with drug traffickers. There was a scandal on December 2021 when the US ambassador to Ecuador said that they refuse providing visas for five. I think there were four or five police generals because they know of their links with drug trafficking. That is like highly suspicious. The death of Villa Vicencio, it seems to be, it seems that it couldn't have been done without the cooperation of the police, like the way he was taken out of the place where he was, the way his guards that were from the police behaved. All are signals of negligence. And the wife and the sister of Villa Vicencio are accusing directly the police and the state of the killing. They are not accusing Korea, at least. And there was another thing that for me was terrible at some point that Korea was threatened by a gangster. I forgot his name right now. But they were requesting that he was transferred to a maximum security prison. And before he was transferred, he gave a press conference inside the prison where he was escorted by a police intelligence officer. This is like what levels of corruption inside the police are we talking about to have those things happening. So that is also a very sad and worrying signal that we can see right now. So what do you see happening from, you know, when are the second round is 15 October? Is that correct? I mean, I know it's hard to say what's going to happen. Well, it's hard to believe some of this stuff that's happened prior to the 20th of this month. Yeah. Yeah. Well, first let's hope there's no more killing, no more terrible violence. I'm saying let's hope because it doesn't seem like last year's government is going to do anything about it. Like he will continue letting things to happen. On the other hand, I believe that Luisa Gonzalez needs a better training for the debate. There will be a debate and that's when he, Novoa Daniel clearly won. And I hope the people get to understand that Novoa will only continue this in the same path than Moreno and Las Vegas. You are changing a bunker with a banana business guy. There's no change at all in that. There's very rich people that we're only careful when Luisa Gonzalez is a young lawyer with experience in the government for quite some time. She worked several years in Korea and she for sure will push forward an agenda that is progressive, that is guaranteeing rights for the people that we try also to ensure the sovereignty of Ecuador. And that is important also right now because if we get aggressive government in Ecuador, the balance of forces, the context in the Andean region is going to change because then there's only Peru left aligned with the imperialist US policies. There will be a lot. It will be very interesting to see that. So that's why there's also the elites have no interest in having progressive government because also the alignment in the rest of Latin America in this new think type. But even if it's less progressive than the prior one still presents a challenge for the interests of the local voodoo seas and the transnational capital.  That to me is the key word phrase being for I would, for all of Latin America and the Caribbean. I have the opportunity to be an election observer starting in October of 2020 in Bolivia and all the way through 2021 including in Ecuador. And through Columbia in May of 2022 and for me personally, the election results really showed populations voting for governments that would ensure national sovereignty, natural resource sovereignty, and an economic plan that would benefit the majority of the citizens. And of course those economic plans are a broad spectrum from, you know, social democrat to revolutionary leftist, but so many people really understand the word sovereignty as voters as participants and want to recapture that or in short it's continue it's continue existence and I just, I really I have to say I agree with you about Ecuador and it's going to be so critical as an Andean nation to, to move center left. And, yeah, because what they have been doing. Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, I'm sorry. Another thing that they have been doing and I was forgetting is modern sign and agreement with the US that is secret. So we don't know exactly what was signed in Ecuador. The US military bases are prohibited in our constitution in 2008 the constitution drafted during Korea's mandate. And so he signed an agreement allowing US military and agents to use our airports and ports. Again, it's secret so we don't know exactly what it entails. But people tell, yeah, you see US military getting in and out without any check that is that's been happening since 2018. And in May this year I think last year signed an agreement with that is an a reduction in external debt, a time of reduction with a company that in the end many people are saying is almost a surrendering in Ecuador sovereignty in the Galapagos Islands in exchange for a veto of external debt. So that's the kind of sale of governments we get in with these people and now that I remember his father who he run for president like five times. The closest he was with Korea he got to the second round and he lost with Korea that was the closest after that he always had very few votes. But one of his proposals that he repeated, not in the last campaign but in the first two probably was that he wants to turn like the whole country in a free economic zone like Oh wow. He wasn't that kind of thing that was his big proposal for the development of that one. And now his son is running. Even if he is much more clever than his father and won't be saying such things, I'm sure, because same as lasso lasso one lying a lot saying he was going to lose. There are a lot of things that he finally never did. He will be lying a lot of course but that's where he comes from. Yeah. Wow. It's. It's so complicated and so layered. And it's. It's amazing and I'm so happy that election day went so smoothly, given everything that you've described to us. I mean all of you must be so, so pleased with that. It just did at least from the outside looking in it went so smoothly I know when the voting in the diaspora started there was some question as to some of the technical issues associated with voting but that seems to have been cleared up early on. So, I think it just for the audience I think this is really important and you can explain this and more detail that for Ecuadorians living in the exterior. They are allowed to vote in the embassies and consulates. They also, which most countries are do allow that, but also they have a representative in the legislature, which is really unique to are so just, you know, you're living in the exterior you still have a legislative representative for your interest back home. It's very unique to Ecuador and that was something that Rafael Korea's government introduced. Yeah, because of the huge diaspora, we still we have like 400,000 people registered to vote. They were registered to vote at the point when voting was on paper right now when you live abroad, I live abroad, voting was online process, and it was pretty difficult I managed to vote but it wasn't it was hard, but only 85,000 people around that registered to vote online. Let's hope this time we get more people registered to vote online because those votes are mostly progressive. Yeah, we got two representatives from the from I think two from North America because that's where the majority of the migrant population are. Then we have two from Europe and Asia, and two others from Africa, South America and Oceania, I think, so I think in total from the diaspora. That I mean that's just so great that's so empowering for people to know that they can still participate back home. That's just really, it's a really wonderful thing on a lot of levels. So, so I hope you are that you can come back in October, and we can talk about the October 15 results because, as you said it's going to be so important for the Andean region, the the hemisphere in general, I would add as well. So it'd be really wonderful to have a follow up conversation after the second round with you I'm so thankful for your time today. That's been really happy to work with you. I come back gladly. Thank you for inviting me and let's hope the progressive wave continues. So, well, all of our, all of our good thoughts, your way. We'll keep our fingers crossed and I look forward to our follow up conversation. And for the audience I want to just remind you you've been watching what the F is going on in Latin America and the Caribbean, we're a popular resistance broadcast.

I'll read minions welcome back to Another episode of Jurassic World for game. Yes a second one in a row. Oh my god Where's everything else we wanted from you? It's coming. Don't you worry dear? So why are we here today? Well? I got an email. In fact, well today I've been working on on a video that was supposed to go up tonight Maybe it will I'll see how I get on with it, but This is like a time-sensitive thing especially with dr. World the game, and I was like Yeah, I need to do this before it expires.  I know I know that's the reason why you come guys. I know I do apologize But you're gonna have to make do all right so We've been you know, we've been plagued us a lot the game for with the off 482 episodes is it a god knows? Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to hit you I've asked for a lot of things from Ludi. I remember asking for books or resources Some something like that along the lines Never got them However, the hypocritical thing always felt like they wouldn't give me stuff But then they would just allow hackers to run rampant throughout the game. How weather? Lydia have actually sent me an email and I actually missed it. They sent it to me a while ago Saying that they had given me juggernaut But I have so we can basically and we will definitely unlock juggernaut 32 in this video However, there is something else. Sorry. I've also got me a Engine so I might talk a little bit different, but I do apologize I'm also in tremendous pain because I've just had new stuff new hooks put on them It's brilliant. I love it. That's the thing ever before we collect because we could collect now and have it. However There are things once we collect it. We won't be able to get anymore So if we look at missions and I've already went ahead and completed some of these so Why'd you break like this? I? Swear there's just something about this game, and it just doesn't want to be recorded It's like every time I record just to raster will the game doesn't matter any other games fine But dress up world the game. I'll get five minutes in it'll just like break connections. Yeah Don't want to work. Um, so if we look at the missions So you can see here I've used a hundred herbivores 150 herbivores There's a lot of missions that aren't like too intense This there are like hatched ten legendary creatures Which is a bit of an issue because I think it's like 200 bucks each Voting four so we could definitely do that one. It's worth 300 so in the long run It definitely is worth it and the daily missions are the ones that are worth the most however You're not really gonna you know, we're gonna lock it today, and there's no way we're doing 333 Daily missions today. We do have fused 25 creatures which gives us 500 and books or sorry boss DNA Also link in description below there are two I repeat to sorry hold on On to collect boss DNA, and there's another one to get VIP points books and DNA in the game like regular Regular DNA at the 50s. We don't need to bother with stock five new gyrosphere draft tours 1200 So we are just another the you know it You could go through it and win a pack But because this is a time-sensitive thing. I will spend 250 bucks Select just whatever dinosaurs cuz I don't I'm not I'm not bothered about in the Whatever you call it the this because I think the top prize doesn't even give you books So there is no point in me doing it I mean what I'll get out of it like maybe DNA. I've almost got a million DNA So I don't care about that and you win a pack anyway, and oh Oh, wow that connected like instantly what the hell I don't trust it I don't trust it.  No, no, no, it's gonna disconnect in 10 minutes Don't worry anyway, so we do just on that one. So the next a big one really is Um hatch 15 herbivores, which actually we're on our way to it's also fused 25 Creatures in the game.   I think we have to do six fuses. So we do need to hatch some anyway So it's not going to be too much of an issue. So what I'm hoping to do in today's episode besides, you know, have lots of political dish issues is also Maybe max up Mortem and use it in regular vows because I don't I haven't looked into it deliberately because I kind of wanted But I think if you max up not Mortem Rex What's it called? What what even is that thing called Omega o9? That's the one if we if we do manage to Max it up to level 40. I think you can use it in regular battle. So that would be cool to see Just Keep fusing until we see well definitely five. So that's the re I think Oh God, oh God, there's a friggin watch in Macaulay Code 19 I don't really need to worry about code 19. So now we just need to hatch a couple as well I think it's maybe five. I think it's nice. So there it is speed it up And you know, it's only 50, but Every little help also to stop this this music from going we're gonna send Owen It is a good one though, but I'm not really fast. I'm not really it's my love of source DNA I'm not really that fast. So we're just gonna keep on going To do this now.  Oh, maybe you don't maybe don't have to spend in it. Okay. I was that it? So 20 creatures for you. So we got how many left? Unless that was hatching complete 15 battles with mod. We're not gonna bother. So five more fuses And have we done the hatching for the we I guess we could hatch And I'll echo five infigments or 15 terasores, you know, whatever But you know what we are gonna do this. I'm tempted to go for the 10 legendaries I want to see what what is the cheapest so we still need to fuse Five more triceratops together to try seratop. I Who is it? Do you like face cam do you like face cam in these little games in the middle of the lab games? I'm those tempted because I am recording or I'm editing something. It's a bit like the aisle And I was like should I face cam I Don't know because I always thought like it's not that I'm scared of being on camera I mean you if you've ever watched my channel for a long time, you know, I'm not scared About show me face But it's always like, you know, imagine if you were watching walking with dinosaurs and then all of a sudden, you know What was it? It was a Kenneth Branagh who who narrated it would just start like who put he popped up and start talking to you Why do you I mean I guess Think about that though, then you've got friggin Nigel Marlin the legend himself so But was it like a face can be can be a bit destructive of stuff like that But I don't know maybe maybe It's highly likely Also, I don't know why I fed that triceratops because I was just thinking I need a fuse it and a fuse it I think that's gonna end up costing like books to do. It'll probably be like a minute a month I might be wrong should we have a little check that out because we don't I don't want to spend DNA I don't have to I suppose and food Right so we've got a level we've got two level 20s there. So yeah, so let's evolve activate and it is it's 15 Didn't do it first Biggest waste of books in my life No, that was there a thousand or 500 whatever you spent last time here. Oh, was that it? Did we do it? Oh, we got one more one more to do. Okay, so we may as well just I Would I would rather trade 200 DNA for 15 bucks any day of the week? So, let's go Use that use that Level you up and then I will have a check to see What? Is if it's worth for 300, you know 300 boss DNA, that's a lot That I mean already we're claiming I don't know how much this is that's a lot of boss DNA And that's all going all this boss. We've got so far is gonna be going towards Omega or nine I'm not gonna level up during our 32. We probably could get it quite high But I would just want to get Omega over nine to level 40 and then maybe I can use it in regular bottles I'd be sweet so The last biggest one that I can get right now is hatching six legendary creatures I would assume That the worst the creature is the less books it's gonna cost. So I mean we'll try and One that I know for a fact is terrible is Sukamimus Now we have 14 of those So 300 so we have to do six of these so that's 3000 over though God. No, I don't know if it's worth it. No, it's not three thousand. That's 10 1500 in a box is it worth it for 300 I don't think it is. I don't think it is No, no, it's not so we're not gonna do that So what we're gonna do now is we are gonna claim just have a double check to make sure there is like hatch five amphibians For 50 oh But that means I have to speed up you otherwise it's gonna cost no if I speed up you It's actually cheaper for me to use this spend it lemma lemma lemma for ten bucks speed that up for nine bucks Oh, well, you have to speed it up the lima lemma lemma. Oh, sorry not loads labyrinth. Ah My bad. I needed to use and not serve. Is it aquatic or is it I think I was amphibian wasn't it? It's you I need more of you.  Well, 300 nod So we'll do another one activate I Could have been saying myself ten bucks each time here So that's one two three sell you and Sell you so we just need hatched two more which is 30 well bucks in total. Oh I almost clicked it. I went straight for the left one. That was by it and Activate there we go. Oh Almost spent way more bucks than I needed to then and place. I think unless it was aquatics No, yeah, it was okay. Maybe I didn't need that many.  Anyway, so we are on 7606 Boss DNA, so we're gonna collect there you go. Oh, wow 9,000 10,000 and a little bit more 11,000 so if we were to collect, you know if we're doing this legit, it's gonna take quite a long time to get 250 daily missions. I mean, that's what you're going for. There is 400 daily missions, which gives you 3,200 That basically puts you there. You don't need to collect all these missions, but once you unlock and Juggernaut 32 these missions go bye-bye So do remember to collect your missions before you do anything. I don't have anything. Oh, I do for Jurassic's another 150 So let's go in. Hopefully this works fingers crossed. Otherwise the videos are flop Collect come on There it is now. Oh, I've never seen it like that before so 10 bucks. How much is it to speed up? Oh, it's instant. Oh, thank God. I was about to speed up super minus thinking Oh, should I do that just in case and there it is Juggernaut 32. Place it. We need to place it next to man. We need to place it next to Omega How much xp do we get? Oh like literally nothing. Oh there it is Sweet look at that. It's like it's got like two frills. Oh, that's cool Damn, okay. So what we got this genetically modified trisectops is one of the biggest and most dangerous creatures in Jurassic book Okay, so we could spend we could spend DNA It's only 40 to level up once However, we do have 11,000 So we have five levels away from maxing up Omega oh nine so one There it is two what's two three four And he's a final one level. Okay Level 40 badge complete there. We have a level 40 Friggin Omega oh nine and not only that we've got a mission. Oh, we did a mission. It was a badge mission. Oh Wow, I didn't realize they had different calls. Okay. It was the badge mission. Oh, okay. Just have a have an Omega sweet So can you only get up to 48 oh wow there's loads Okay, so now that we've done that and we've we've still got Four thousand which is loads four thousand boss DNA. Okay, let's what's the eating animation for this guy? Oh, does it have eating animations? Oh? I don't think it does. Okay. Just kind of shakes it's brilliant Oh, I want it. I want to click on the I want to see it's raw. What is raw sound like? That sounds like a regular trisectop's more than that Omega Like more Omega or nine has a different role before whatever reason You just have a regular one. Okay, so shall we just like just go for it four five six seven eight nine ten one 14 15 16 17 21 20 20 already 21 22 23 24 25 oh 26 26 is the highest we can get this thing, but Hey That was good. It's one thousand three and fifty five attack. Okay, so it's not as crazy as Omega or nine, but it does have a lot of health Omega 4000 but then again that is at level max level 40, so we don't get anything extra We also did oh we should get some things here So we got another hundred books of free journal 32s horns and armor plates make it a truly formidable enemy in battle and another hundred books Though a herd of all it would still be a terrible idea to enter this dinosaurs territory Oh, I bet okay, so we are low well low guys well low well low on um On some coin, so if you don't mind me, I'm gonna collect a max level in also We got more badges here because there was loads of homemade. Sorry, there you go. So another two get in We crash the game apparently. Oh, what's nice at least it's still record Let's jump back in shall we? Okay, we're gone. Oh, yeah, oh, it's apparently I couldn't collect two of those badges at once It apparently was too much for the game to handle and crash So clutch from DNA building once we got so much so much of that DNA like the super DNA Okay, so now when I go in here Do we have oh, can we even use it any creature showdown? Oh, we can use to now Okay, but what about regular balls? Can I use omega in a regular battle? Boss, okay, it's not allowing me to click boss Wait, so when can I use bosses? That's weird. I feel like I've seen it in a regular battle. I might know maybe I'm maybe I've got the wrong Okay, but now that we've got level 40 free in Omega or nine Is it possible any creature level 30 plus? This is 12 opponents. It's 20 bucks to enter. What are the prizes? Okay, the prices are just dinosaurs I don't care about that Prices again. Just die. Why is it raise? Why is raise the price for that one and this one? Oh this one? Oh, oh We gotta do this one apocalyptic bloodshed 30 bucks to enter. Come on. Let's go Let's do it We can only do this one and then it disappears for a day So it's like everything every 24 hours of reset. So for 30 bucks Whoo, I mean now it's just tactic right that that's what this is gonna be.  I've never completed one of these. However We're in the best state right now. We are level 40. We've got 8,000. We just have 8,000 health We could live a little bit less just a little bit and 4,000 damage basically means even if we're against a A Aquatic, I'm sorry. I'm fiddling we're still in with a chance. I'd say what do you think do like do like my new hairstyle now Does it look good? Do you like it? There's normally what I just look like on a day-to-day basis when I walk around the house 198 you know what if that was a full-on attack, which I'm I'm gonna factor in one just in case it wasn't Oh Always factory do Although that was okay. Now you won't Oh, we did oh brilliant. Okay, so now we can go for two. I can factor in one this time I need to get you had the catch in the game We got this we got this Yeah, I mean I didn't need to go for that. I should try to block but To negate what like 20 damage that I might get done to us. Yeah Yeah, we could be a little bit more if it goes to four now and that makes difference. I'd be very annoyed Okay, so it's still a wrap. We're very low. We got a raptor after this Factoring in two just in case I want to go Well, you know what if you're gonna go for loads of attacks go for it on Diplodocus rather than wrapped it That would be much appreciated. I'd like that Although you don't Okay, so one two And then I'm just gonna do that Okay, okay, not bad. Not bad three block or two blocks. Sorry Well, the agent attack has turned into 58 so 40 difference. That's a considerable amount I mean, I want to try and prevent taking damage as much as I can at the moment Even though, you know, it's early stages. It's it's not a Place that I was still want to take any damage Because it'll slowly get more and more if I'm gonna, you know, if I'm gonna take a hit I'll take a hit, but I don't want I take a hit now Rodman later. I suppose oh Three was obvious for I think that might have been what should we be wrong? I wasn't paying attention again. I was looking at the bloody go XLR mixer set up I think I don't think I need to go for that. Okay. Okay. Well, there you go always factoring in two is the best way Come on come on. This is gonna be the time. This is gonna be that time. We're gonna do it To okay So is that to block you could have I think it might be to block One two three, and then is that's how we do it. I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing apparently Okay, so five. Oh no, he could have one extra He could have blocked me, but he didn't. Okay, so five One factor in two always factor in two Okay, not bad. Not bad 38 Still in common now was that a 30 we're coming up to a third of the way through So he's got seven still quite a bit for a big hit. Oh Oh That one makes all the difference. Oh it makes all the difference. Okay, so I think it's got one block Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I'm right. Okay. Come on. You're just looking at the game. Just focus on focus stop being distracted by all the pretty lights Three okay, so out of his four. He's got three not bad not bad So we can go for one. Oh here. Here it comes. Here comes the first little bit of trouble Okay, not bad. Oh, but it's still only has four. That's good. Okay. So there it is ten down and that much help lost But we have taken a few hits Oh go so one arts and under suit just next as well One two I am gonna do that just in case you went for two block, which he didn't So he's gonna have six and it's 70 You might be thinking oh James only 130, but if he does five hits Okay, it's four. Okay, it could be it could have been worse couldn't be worse. So he's got one block So Yes, oh for codon not too bad. Um, how's a lot of attack actually might be around about the same 100 nod. Yeah, it's even more. I thought it would be. Oh He did have a block as well. I'm getting lucky here. I'm getting really lucky here. Wow Okay, so he's got a possibility of three block I'm okay Yeah, I'm very ready. The three's a lot for a bot to go for very right like one Probably two almost definitely three. Yeah It kind of goes like up and then straight down the chances them going for three block is very low Okay, so three out of his five. Okay, okay, so he's got two block ichthyostega next Um Okay, he's got five. He's got five ichthyostega's gonna have this is it the first big hit they're coming in with almost 200 damage Okay, so we've got three and then we've got gold we kill three more onto gold Okay, not oh not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Okay, so we went for three. So we've got two block One factor and two one two and then the first time ever I will not go for four reserve because I'm just taking a lot of hits and now I want to be a bit more safe I think maybe we're spino depending what spino does If it goes for full on five, then I will reserve four, but oh Not bad. Not bad. Okay. We're still over half out So one two one two and yeah Yeah, a little bit low. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no yet one why that factor in two, okay? We're going we're going lower We're going lower, but it's still okay now so far the Moment omega-9 oh nine omega-9 oh nine that I had before this video It just has less out than this one. It's I don't think it would have made much of a difference So I'm here gonna go for four reserve and two block So, oh man, that's like a thousand if he hits me for six You need for five Okay, we're getting to almost half health so I Think he's got one block Yeah, I think he had one block because he almost went for it. Okay, there we go, right? We're halfway there. We're halfway there and we've got half health, but now every hit we get hit by Is a big chunk is a big chunk it's still only bears though So one one two one two three four and one There perfect only problem is that's a level 34 over codon coming in with probably like 250 attack Oh my god, it is Where's all the herbivores this if it goes for a big hit goes for five is a lot of damage. Okay, that's good Okay, not bad still over a thousand though. That's a So that five I think it was forces got two block And Draco Rex is coming in. Okay. Well, he's gonna figure it's gonna five and hopefully Draco Rex nerf 97 oh a nice number nice cushy number So one two three four four we only need to defeat five more creatures I think and then we've got the highest I think I think although is though is the one higher than the purple I think them there must be There must be I'll go for one just in case. Okay, I'm happy like if I if you know Maybe didn't block at least I killed them, but I've got some I got some blocks myself and a backup to form Okay, okay, so he's got two block and I mean chances of him going for two block Quite high one and more so so with that in mind. I'm just gonna factor in one Oh, we did go for two.  I'm gonna go for that. Yo, there it is. There it is. Whoa. Okay. Okay. I think I've ever got to rank five Purple I've never got there before two scappers exactly the same really Dangerous dangerous numbers here. Oh another thousand. Oh, we're gonna do it Oh And then It's getting tough. It's really getting tough now 10 left or nine left two-thirds of the way there. I Don't think we're gonna do it though guys. I really don't think we're gonna do it. Oh it goes for two No, though What do I do? I think I go for four reserve three block. I I've got you. I think he's gonna go for a lot of blocks Damn it. He's got six. Okay, hit me for three. I still survived that Oh, he's got one block. Oh, he's got one block. I Don't like that one two one two I'm gonna have to in case you didn't block. Okay. Okay. I'm playing it safe for this t-rex is coming I want to get to rank five Cameras who chairs at level 35 just go for four. Just do it. Why not? Okay, one two three Four and then three reserve Six, okay. They normally go for four here Or five. Oh, it goes for six. Oh, not bad. Not bad. I'll take it. However, we're in dire straits So one one two like how much is he gonna have okay? He can't kill us So I can go for I can go for three blocks here and if he does attack for four which fingers crossed he does Okay, we're guaranteed. We're guaranteed rank five. We're guaranteed it Um, because there's nothing this thing can do and of course it doesn't so now we need to go for it because I'm gonna go for it. I'm just gonna go for it There it is right five and he went for three block and there it is to get to the highest prize is now almost impossible there's no way I have got no reserves and I'm sorry. I'm just gonna go for like we're dead. We're basically dead Well, actually not If I bought for four here might have survived, but I don't know. Yeah, I don't know how long I would have lasted that would have been One more hit and I was dead, but there we go I was thinking the whole time like this is pretty impossible to do even with a level 40 But we did get to the havoc leak Which gives us some pretty decent price 2% chance for an evo booster pack Do we get any DNA out of that? No, okay, but everything else always Boss DNA, which I guess isn't too bad. Okay, it's spin the wheel what we're gonna get what we're gonna have a league spin wheel It is oh, I mean out of everything really food Are we doing this? Apparently we are All right fine. I mean, I hope I got loads of VIP porn Yeah, no It'll be it like maybe it would be better if you could do Multiples like put in juggernaut as well. That would be pretty cool. Okay. Let's do juggernaut. Let's do oh, yes juggernaut Hey, y'all this looks sweet Okay, let's see a level 26 juggernaut. How far can it go? We got 20 creases to defeat now this one a 10 creases less but They get a lot harder and a lot quicker. So already Warren Reyes. Remember who would like take it on commons for a while So what's that like I mean to anyway just okay already I'm looking at the attack that I've gotten 2,000 Omega 9 it didn't matter if it was against amphibians it could probably kill them I mean this thing too, I guess at this point, but oh another one nice But I feel like when we're against legendary 600 no one near killing a condo for juggernaut. It really isn't You know what I like about this. I feel like for a while We said to Livia that We wanted to it wouldn't be so cool if you could take control of the bosses and stuff and finally Finally like they're doing it. We're actually we are taking control of them Next is what a point increase like a level level cap for your dinosaurs to be increased from level 40 plus That could be pretty interesting I'd love to see like a level 200 triceratops That'd be sweet. I mean, I don't think it'd be very good But maybe it would be five oh That's gotta be that's gonna be everything right. I'll go for two just in case it had like one block Which it does. Okay. I thought as much Go for Toronto Titan now. Okay? Where you gonna go for he doesn't go for anything There we go. Okay Doing good doing good 15 not bad not bad. We're doing good. I Don't think we're gonna complete it though. I don't think we've ever completed any of any of the one I mean the one we just did with Omega was probably the tougher So I'm not I'm not surprised. We didn't complete that one this one I think we would be in with a fair shot if we did. Oh cover. What are the chances? I feel like if we did this one with Omega and I'm we could probably do it. Okay one two I Mean twos normally what they go for and there it is Okay, we're getting there we're getting there we can do it we can do it Can we go probably not I mean the hell's good like 6,000 health is really good. Oh That's a lot Right One Maybe he's got to I'm not really paying too much attention, but it doesn't matter. I'm doing it anyway Oh Most halfway there almost halfway there no legendaries and no super as you I'm when we get to 10 probably Okay, one not bad not bad still can kill them all in one here. So we're good for good one two I'll factor in two just in case they normally go to and there it is again one after another falling prey to juggernaut 32 and still No super as level 21 for red This maybe we can do it The only problem is I don't think the prices are very good so We'll see we'll see a factor in again in case you went for two eat those go for two another one falls so many kills Kill you know No, Zooto. No Zooto. Zooto. Go on go for seven Okay, five six seven so Say two blocks again. I think it's probably highly likely we got two blocks one We may even get three No, yep Another round another another KO sweet Paras are all of us No, no no no parrot juggernaut's got it. I'm so used to rooting for a parent Such as the underdog that is a paras life So we'll factor in two again. Is this the strat? Should I've done this with omega-9 it probably should have now that I'm looking at this Come on. We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it We're against okay four Not bad. We still got over half health and we're over halfway. So three attack four is is one block. Oh Didn't go for anything. Oh my bad. Did I not see that he used everything or something? Comes in a spinal could get tough here Go to four Three go through. Nope. Okay, so I'm gonna get rid of the spinal Just so we can probably get to banana beak and there it is another one's every round gone. There is rank four Onto banana bit now and then a no Zooto after that. Okay, so if it tacked loads here, I'm okay with that I'm okay. I don't think we've ever completed any of them. I think we've ever done that We've never completed it. Okay, so one I will do the same as usual. I think he might have only had one block. Oh Okay, but doesn't faze us doesn't faze us He's only got four now and if they go for they don't do anything. Yeah, they never do anything like four. Yeah Make it tricky. I think if they did do stuff at four then maybe it'd be too easy. I Think I think that's the the algorithm behind it or that coding. I think they do if they go for they don't do stuff Or at least not that I realized with my monkey brain right now I've realized that two is to always factor in two block at works, but when they go when they go for On there we go. We're below half now. I think right where we're close to it So he's got two block and just went out of four out of his six Oh now on to the legendaries. I'll start from the source coming in the first one out of the final five Is it just gonna be like carnival herbivore amphibian flyer? Is that the order?  It works. It just works. Oh My go is that tournament or VIP? I Think that's a tournament creature at level one. Yeah, but good good news is it's It's a flyer, so I will again just do the normal. I think you might have only had one. Oh, why why why three? We've only got three left guys. We're gonna do it. We've never won a battle You never won one of these ever Okay, right I'll factor in two just in case you but I think you only had one I Didn't even go for it. Okay, that's fine, right now He's gonna be nerfed so hundred forty three tack from Shunasaws turns into 84 and that's a second. We've done it. Come on. We can't lose now. We can't lose this I Can't those stay get after this I think so four out of his five or six 300 damage. Okay. I will factor in Two again, but I think he's only got one watch it be three. Yeah, there's one. I thought so I thought so and You know for the final one, we're just gonna go for it We're gonna see what a full-on eight attack looks like with a juggernaut 32 and I'm so glad It's this ballerina. This is so nice. I love this one Okay Come on, come on So we can do to 27,000 but we don't because they block for one here it comes. Okay. What does it look like? Oh Oh, he's not a regular. Oh, I never realized that's what the boss does Let's just use the part of that sweet It's now our turn to do it. Yeah Okay, oh We did a doom league. Oh There's no real good prices. I suppose like if we just don't 24% chance to win it the food or coin pack don't win a coin pack, please please don't win Why is it going backwards? You know what it's not worth 20 bucks But it's something and we're gonna have to wrap it up here cuz I hope you've enjoyed it It's been a an entertaining one to say the least I think right We've enjoyed leave light until next time. I'll see you cuties later. Oh, bye. Bye


Welcome back to our lecture series Math 4230 abstract Algebra 2 for students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Misseldine. In lectures one through three in our lecture series, we introduce the idea of group actions. So that is, we have a set for which some group G is acting upon it. This is often referred to as a G set, okay? Where X could be any set, it might have some algebraic structure, it might not. All that we're assuming right now is that there is a group acting upon that set X. And in those lectures, we presented many, many examples and some properties of group actions. In this lecture four, we're going to talk about the so-called class equation, which when you first look at the class equation, it actually feels like a somewhat obvious observation. But believe it or not, this obvious observation can actually have some powerful consequences, especially in the case of P groups, which we'll talk about in the second half of lecture for the next video here. But we'll introduce the class equation in this video right here and look at some examples. So let me remind you about some notation we introduced previously when we discussed group actions. So there's the idea of a stable set. So if you have an element G that belongs to the group and the set X sub G, capital X representing the G set here, this is the collection of all elements X inside of X, such that G dot X is equal to X. So this is the stable set. These are all the things that were fixed by the element G itself. Related to this on the other side, there's the so-called stabilizer. There's lots of different notations, of course, for the stabilizer. The one that we're mostly using is this set G sub X here. This is the set of all elements G inside of the group such that G dot X is equal to X. So the important thing here is X sub G is a subset of X, and G sub X is actually a subgroup of G, which kind of makes sense. Since X is a set that may or may not have any structure besides that affected the G set, then X sub G is just a subset. But the subsets of G we don't really care about. Really, we care about subgroups. We had these stable sets, these stabilizers, sometimes called the isotropy subgroups. What we want to do is add to this collection of symbols here. And so we're going to consider now the symbol X sub G. So notice what's going on here, that X sub little G, this is a subset of X, and then the subscript then tells us how we construct that. So for a little element who gets fixed by the little element, the individual element X right there, then capital G sub X here, right? In that situation, we're taking a subset, a subgroup, in fact, of G that's determined, that's fixed with regard to this element X right here. Now we're going to take capital X sub capital G. This is actually very similar to this set right here. We're going to take the subset of X, right? So X sub G is the collection of all elements of X. So this will be a subset of X right here. But what's different now is that we want to find all those elements X that are fixed by G, but in fact, they're fixed by every G whatsoever. So now the capital G is suggesting here that the little G is allowed to vary, right? In this notation, X sub G here, the little G is fixed, but the capital X is allowed to vary. You can take on any element of X so long as it's fixed here. So now we allow X and G to vary. And so this gives us all of the elements in X that are fixed by everything. These are things that are trivialized by the group action. No group element does anything to them whatsoever. So in fact, this right here is the intersection of all of these sets, XG, as G is allowed to range over the elements of the group. So this would be the collection of all of these, it's the intersection of all the stable sets. It's a very important set when one studies group actions. Another way of characterizing is the following. XG here is then the union of all of the orbits sub X that have this format. Each orbit is just a singleton, because after all, each element of the group just sends X back to itself, so its orbit is going to be trivial. So this is, this stable set is all of the stable sets together. I should say it's all the, it's all, it's the intersection of the stable sets, it's the union of all these trivial orbits. This is the collection of all the trivial elements of the group action, of the G set here. And so since the orbits of a group action form a partition, because after all, the action does cause an equivalence relation on the set. So X is a union of all of these, all of these cells here. So X, you know, you're going to have maybe a couple elements that are trivial. X2, move it up, in which case we get some like X, K, right?   X is the union of all of these things. Now the trivial orbits we can put together as this set X sub G, like so. And then the other non-trivial orbits, we just keep them as they are. Because X is a union of all those things, we get the so-called class equation where a G set can be partitioned into its orbits, where you take all of the, you take all of the trivial orbits, we're just going to glue them together for simplicity's sakes. And then you have these non-trivial orbits right here. It's important to mention that with a G set, the orbits are essentially the G subsets. That is, the orbits are kind of like subgroups in that the orbits of X are going to be those subsets which are closed under the group action. If you take an orbit X here and you times it by any element of the sub, of the group, right, you act on it, you're just going to get back the same orbit, like things might get scrambled up, but you're going to get back the same orbit. So the orbits of a G set kind of are like the subgroups that we think about it in an algebraic category sense. And which case then, of course, you can union, these will be sort of like the smallest cosets, the smallest subgroups, so to speak. You can take unions of orbits that will also give you G subsets. And one important one, of course, to take the union of all the trivial ones, right? This is the trivial subset of X there. And so you get this very important equation. It's often called the class equation for which the cardinality of X here is going to be the cardinality. We'll call it the order, I guess, the order of the trivial stable set there. And then the union, the sum of the orders of all of these orbits here. Now when it comes to group actions, there's one group action that's very important compared to any others. And this is the conjugation one. I mean, there's a lot of important group actions, but the group action of conjugation is very, very important. And why is that? Well, the group action of conjugation is a group acting upon itself in an algebraic manner. And so any information we can learn about the G set actually says something about the group itself. So this is a group action that actually tells us information about the group itself. We learn things algebraically by studying a group as a group action. And so oftentimes, when we talk about the conjugation action, we can inherit sort of special terminology, special notation to describe the symbols we saw on the previous screen just for the group action. So in particular, the orbits of the group action with respect to conjugation are called the conjugation classes. A notation that's often used in this situation is that if you want to take the conjugation class of x, an element x here, this is often denoted as x to the G. So this would be the collection of all elements of the form G inverse x G, where x is fixed here. And so G is allowed to vary here. Now technically, I'm writing this as a right conjugation. We really should be working with left conjugation because we made the decision to do left actions in this lecture series. But the thing is the action, the left action by conjugation and the right action by conjugation give you the exact same partition of constancy classes. It doesn't really matter because if you are right conjugating by an element G, then you're left conjugating actually by its inverse. So you really get the same thing. No big deal. We're not going to be too worried about that. So this notation here suggests what you're doing here is you're taking the element and you raise it to the G. Why the superscript? Well, this is a very common thing because this notation can get a little bit cumbersome at times. So oftentimes in group theory, we use exponents where you take x to the G here, and this represents G inverse x G, for which if you want to be somewhat, you know, conventional with what we're doing here, you can put that on the on the right. In practice, though, when people write x to the G, they mean the right conjugate. If you want the left conjugate, that should be G to the G. The superscript should be on the left. Again, that's how it's typically done in the literature. This is a pain to type up in latex. So it's not used very common. So I think honestly, that's one of the reasons why the right conjugation Jews more commonly in the literature. But despite our agreement to do left actions, the right conjugation action, like I said, is really not any different. So it's not a big deal. So you might see notation like this used by me, x to the G to represent conjugates. If you mess up and switch it from the right to the left, not a big deal, it won't make much of a difference in this situation. So that's what this notation here means x to the G. The capital G means that you're allowing the exponent to vary, thus the conjugates vary, but who's getting conjugates left fixed.  All right, the conjugation, excuse me, the conjugation classes with respect to the conjugation action. Knowing the congisly classes of a group is very important when you study that non-Abelian group. They're trivial for Abelian groups, of course. The isotropy subgroups or the stabilizers will commonly be referred to as C of x. Some people like to call this C sub x, right? Now this, of course, agrees with the notation we had before of G sub x, right? But again, like I said, this is often referred to as C of x. Because again, since the group that's acting on the set x are actually the same thing, you get a little bit confused when you see things like G sub x versus x of G, because the G's and the x's are the same thing for conjugation. So we introduce that new symbol. So again, typically it's called C sub x, or C of x right here. It's the centralizer. So we're looking for all elements of the group for which they commute with the element x. This is always a subgroup, and this is a subgroup that always contains, of course, the cyclic subgroup generated by x. Because x will commute with itself, and in fact, every power of x will commute with itself, right? And so the centralizer always contains the cyclic subgroup generated by x. It will also always contain the center of the group, because those commute with everything. And that gives us the centralizer subgroup. It's a very important group, a subgroup when we're studying non-Abelian groups. Now speaking of this subgroup, ZG, the center, it's important to consider the center when you're talking about the conjugation action. So again, the center is the set of all elements that commute with everything in the group. With regard to this discussion of stable sets, the center is this set x sub G, right? x of G, which we saw on the previous slide. This is the collection of all elements x inside the set that are trivialized by the action. So these are all the elements G.Z, which are equal to Z. But the group action here is conjugation. So we're looking for all those elements G, Z, G inverse, which are equal to Z, which is a course equivalent to saying that GZ equals ZG. Like so. These are things that commute with everything. So this stable set is in fact the center. Now the class equation, when we translate it to the language of congenital classes, and honestly, when people talk about the class equation, this is usually what they're meaning. They're talking about the congenital class equations, because the more general formula 1421, which we saw on the previous slide, you might call that the orbit equation, right? But the congenital class equation, the congenital class equation tells you that any group is going to have the form. The order of the group is going to be the order of its center plus the indices of each of the congenital classes. Let me unravel that for a second. Okay. On the previous slide, we saw that a G set X, its order, which now that we have the conjugation action here, the X set is itself the group G. So the cardinality there is going to equal the order of the center, which for the previous equation, that is we take the collection of the size of all of the elements which are trivialized by the action, that's the center in the situation, which is a normal subgroup. Then we take the sum of all the sizes of orbits. Well, we saw previously by the fundamental counting principle that the size of an orbit is actually the index of its isotropy subgroup, which in the context of conjugation, the isotropy subgroups are the centralizers of the element itself. That is the stabilizers with respect to conjugation are the centralizers. And so putting all that together, we get this right here. And so what this tells us is that the order of a group is equal to the order of its center plus the collection of indices of centralizers, where these Xs, these XIs range over the non-trivial congenital classes. And for a finite group, this observation is very, very important. And we can use this to study various things. So for example, since the congenital class has cardinality equal to its index, so if we take the congenital class of X here, this is going to equal G dot the centralizer of X, which for a finite group, this is the order of G divided by the order of its centralizer. And so this is sort of like a Lagrange theorem-like result. The size of a congenital class must divide the order of the group in a finite setting. Let's look at two examples of this. Again, it only makes sense to really look at non-Abelian groups because this observation is trivial for Abelian groups because in that case, you just get that G is equal to its center. It doesn't really tell you much at all. So let's look at the smallest non-Abelian group possible. Let's take S3. The congenital classes of S3 turn out to be the identity, the three cycles, and the two cycles. This is actually a general principle that in Sn, the congenital classes are exactly the cycle types. So if we want to talk about the congenital classes of S4, we should look at the cycle types. You could have one, you could have a two cycle, you could have a three cycle, you could have a two-two cycle, and that's it. There's going to be four congenital classes in S4, and it comes from the different cycle types. I don't want to list all of them because there's 24 elements in S4. We see that same thing for S3. We get three cycle types, and those are the three congenital classes. Also in Sn, for S3 and above, S4, etc., the center is actually trivial in that situation. So we get that the symmetric group, again, for S3 and larger, it's a centerless group. The center is trivial in that situation. For S2, of course, it's abelian, so that's not true in that case. So if you look at these together, so the center is just this one. This is the only trivial congenital class for permutations of three letters or more. And so when we look at the class equation, we're going to get the order of S3 is going to be the order of its center. Let me write S3 there. Plus you're going to get the size of that first congenital class, this one right here, and then you're going to get the size of the next congenital class, which you see right here. So basically what we're saying here is if you add together the sizes of these congenital classes, you have a congenital size 1, 2, and 3. And so you're going to get that order of S3 is 6 because it's 1 plus 2 plus 3. And in each and every case, these have to be divisors of the order, 3 divides 6, 2 divides 6, 1 divides 6. The class equation guarantees this. Now for 6, that's not too surprising. 6 is a perfect number. It is literally the sum of its divisors, 1 plus 2 plus 3. So that might seem like, oh, you got me there. You had a perfect number. Give me 28. We can do the same thing again. Well, okay, let's try D4. The congenital classes of D4 are the following. 1 and R2 are central elements. Their collection together is ZD4. The other elements you have R and R cubed are conjugates. S and R squared S are conjugates. And RS and R cubed S are conjugates. So we get these congenital classes. Let's throw the center together like so. And so the class equation tells us that the order of D4 is going to be the order of the center plus the sizes of the three other congenital classes. So this one, this one and this one. So you get that 8 is 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 for which we see that those have to all be divisors of 8. So in particular, they're all 2s. So 2 divides 8. The individual congenital classes are also 1. So those singleton ones, right? So the order of a congenital class always divides the order of the group. And then the sum of all the congenital classes has to add up to the order of the group. So what we're telling you here is that the group has to be a sum of its divisors. The order of the group has to be a sum of its divisors, which again, that doesn't seem much because you know, it should take 1 plus 1 plus 1, et cetera, right? And to get up to your group order there because 1 divides everything. But that's just an abelian group. If all of your congenital classes are trivial, you get an abelian group. For non-belian groups, it gets a little bit more sticky. Like how can I form congenital classes? The congenital classes have to divide the order of the group. And we have to add them all up to give you the order of the group itself. So in some respect, congenital classes kind of behave like subgroups, at least from a Lagrange theorem point of view.


Unmanned on Monday night opened fire on operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Awolowa Road. In their bid to prevent them from arresting the drive-over truck loaded with several bags of cannabis, the Unmanned suspected to belong to a yet-to-be-identified security agency also smashed one of the operational vehicles of the anti-necotic agencies. However, the intervention of some military men prevented what would have resulted in a bloodbath as the unmanned fled the scene where the driver of the truck abandoned the truck. The officers stood their ground, imparted the leader of operation, and was immediately smashed by those unidentified security agents. There is no point up to this morning but we have set in some channels of investigations and fat findings and my officers are on the lookout to see where those people come and who are they.


Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today. And today we're taking it back to school, well at least for me, but I know that it's May, therefore graduations are approaching. And many of you have wrote me asking what to do with your curly hair and your grad cap. Like many things in life, grad caps weren't really created with big curly ethnic natural hair in mind. It's either just like, just not gonna fit or just like give you like really weird hat hair. You know, I guess it works.  So I mean, there is this. I was able to get it over my fine hair, but if your hair is any thicker than mine or you have bigger, more voluminous hair, this just ain't gonna work. So I've already made a video a couple years ago showing you the grad cap hack. If you haven't seen it, we're gonna do it again today as a little refresher. And I also thought of a new idea that we're gonna try as well.  But this is how you do the graduation curly hair hack. You get your cap, right? All you're gonna need is a headband. You can get this from the dollar store, just about anywhere. I need drug stores to have a normal black headband. And then you're gonna need some tape. This is pretty hefty duty, but any type of sturdy tape will work. What you're gonna do is you take your hat, you take Bianca Brown 07. I'm dating myself and showing you my maiden name. But I'm gonna put this headband right in the middle and then I'm gonna grab some tape. All you're gonna do is tape it in the middle. So it looks like that. Then we're going to fold in all the extra fabric, like this, and then you just put it on. Simple.  It's not giving you any hat hair. It's just basically just a headband. And to secure it, you can grab some bobby pins. One on this side, right on the headband. And one on this side. Secure it in place. Shout out to class of 2011. It's been a long time. But I wanted to redo this video to one, make sure you guys knew of this graduation cap so you don't have any excuses as to why you need to straighten your hair for graduation. I don't wanna hear it. But as you can see from my previous curly hair graduation cap video, my hair has changed a lot. So when I had bangs, I was able to pull out these hairstyles, but I wanted to try it again now that my hair is longer and I don't have the bangs. Let's give it a try. As you can see, this does look fine, but it is, you know, a little, it's a little flat.  But what if we were able to give it some height? First, I wanna give a shout out to Grad Cap Remix. I found this girl on TikTok and she has basically created a whole invention to fix this exact problem.  So one, shout out to this new, small, black-owned, woman-owned business. She solved the problem so she realized there was a need and created a little business around it and I respect that. Now, her invention is about $20. So a headband is 99 cents. You probably already have some tape at home. This is definitely the easy DIY route. If you're on that college life budget, which is probably where you are.  Otherwise, if you're gonna wear it one time, you might not wanna spend 20 bucks on this invention but I still think it's really cool. Just wanted to give them a little shout out. But what I liked about her invention is that it gave your cap some height. So instead of just putting the headband straight on here, I'm gonna take it off and I'm just gonna add a bowl. This is another cheap little plastic bowl probably from the dollar store and I'm gonna stick it in here and then I'm going to fold all the pieces around the bowl. And then I'm gonna tape it. That way we have a little bit of height. So we'll grab some more tape. Definitely making my dad proud right now. He tapes everything. If I broke a bone, you would just tape it. Taping some here. Once again, this is definitely the boot leg. I'm on a budget. Ain't nobody got time for that. Maybe you do have time because if you ain't got time you might as well buy the real deal. Like so. Now we grab our headband and tape it in the middle. Hide the tape. I wanna be exposed now. So now when you put it on, what do you guys like? If you like the lifted look, stick a bowl in there. If you like it flat against your head, you can do that as well. Because we do now have a bowl on top of our head we definitely need to bobby pin this down. Like so. Ready to walk the stage. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it.  Okay, so now that we've got our cap down let's try some different styles. Obviously down and big is always a vibe but let's see what else we can do with it now that I don't have my banks. Let's do a side ponytail. I'm just gonna grab it all. You do not need to slip this down because you're gonna have a hat on. I mean you can if you're planning on taking it off. Ta-da!  I just took out the bowl and I think on a slick back look I actually like how it looks better just flat.  I'm gonna bobby pin this down again and there we go. Cute little side ponytail. So my previous graduation video I also did a low bun look when my hair was kind of like a shoulder length but now let's try it now that it's longer and it's gonna loop it once. Leaving out some curls, kinda like that.  Probably would slick this down if I wasn't trying to do multiple looks but oh cute, she's sophisticated and educated. If this was the style that you chose to wear I would recommend just slicking this down just so it's as smooth and flat as possible. I'm not going to because I'm gonna keep trying to make different looks. Okay now this is what I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to do on my longer hair because when you have short hair you have the greatest pineapples of all time. But I'm gonna see if I can try to flip by doing all of my hair into a pineapple of some sort. Well actually I guess I could do a ponytail. Let's try that. Let's see how a ponytail looks like so. Grabbing our hat, a ponytail. But let's see if we can bring it up to the front for a pineapple look. A messy bunnet and then do something. Oh, something, I'm on to something. So I did kind of go messy bun where I started with a pineapple, left out the curls and then we're gonna put this behind the bun. Snapper runes. This is gonna require some serious bobby pinning but if we can get this to stay it's kind of like creating my pineapple look in my first video. But it is, it is loose. So I'm gonna have to really secure this down. That's pretty cute. Okay, new fave again. This was my favorite of my last video and it's my favorite again. Just didn't think I'd be able to pull it off with long hair so the bobby pins are a must. And I kind of like the cap in the back as like a accessory more than like a hat on top. So if you could do like the Lee Widditt Rock Widditt type of look, I think I like it better. So these are all of my curly graduation hairstyles. Comment below, let me know which was your favorite. And just remember that you do not need to straighten your hair for special occasions. Your curls are beautiful all the time and they should be rocked even on your most memorable days. And with all the people in your class that are graduating, your parents, family, friends are gonna be trying to find you in the audience and it's much easier to find curly hair than straight hair. Just saying.  You did it. You can finally say goodbye to either high school and move on to college, bigger and better things. Or if you're graduating from college, you're done. You're done. Just the thought of not having to do homework ever again just truly brings me joy. But now that I have kids, I'm gonna have to. Please share this video with anyone that you know that is graduating this year that might need some tips on how to rock their beautiful curls. I'm also so close to 600,000 subscribers. So if you are new here, please hit that subscribe button. I post new curly hair videos every week. And I promise you, you will learn a thing or two about your curls if you stick around.
