About 12 years ago, I bought a one-way ticket to move to China thinking that I would become a monk. And one of my very first stops was the Shaolin Temple, because I'd been studying traditional Chinese martial arts for a very long time, and this was supposedly the Mecca of martial arts. Now, one of the fascinating things associated with the Shaolin Temple are these what are called fall-hit wines. These liniments you apply to prevent bruises at the heel of broken bones that are shrouded in mystery and legends and actually are well protected by the Chinese pharmaceutical companies, the exact ingredients. But in this video, I thought I would share a little bit about one of them and what some of the clinical research actually says about them. Hey guys, I'm Dr. Alex Hine, author of the health book Master of the Day and doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. So before we jump into this video, there are two very important links right below the video. The first is for a free guide, four daily rituals that could potentially help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine. And the second is if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine, there's a link below to contact my private practice and learn more. Now, when I first developed my obsession with the Shaolin Temple, it was when I ordered a home kit for iron palm training. I don't know if you guys have ever seen this, but Shaolin monks do a certain kind of training where they will actually effectively bruise and damage their bones and their connective tissue to actually become more dense. I mean, even this clinical research showing that resistance training of any kind with weights will increase bone density, right? But this is extreme resistance training, right?  And I had bought this kit where it is a sequential training system for learning what's called iron palm. And the first level is mung beans.  So you do your palm, the back of the palm, the knife, the blade, and then the fingers. And so you're training basically the palms, the back hand, the blade, right for a knife hand strike, and then, you know, like eagle claw techniques have these kind of claw looking motions. But in a lot of Southern style martial arts in China, for example, there's a strike called bugie where it's just thrusting fingers. And it's basically you throw it into somebody's eyes.  So these kinds of training techniques are used. And one of the ways you offset the physical damage, for example, if you do this 30 minutes a day, the first thing I noticed was you could see bruising all around the bones in my hands, right? You could see mild swelling and bruising from the back of my hand hitting. The first level was mung beans. The second was gravel, right? So it's just a paper linen bag with gravel inside and you're smacking it for a half hour straight. Now these liniments that are prescribed are typically alcohol extracts. And you basically would spend 10 to 15 minutes like this, rubbing it into all the areas and the joints that you were hitting. Now, that's one usage of this, right? For really sports medicine. But the other is really for injuries. So for example, people who have rolled their ankle and they have sprained or strained it and there's swelling and there's heat and inflammation, you can utilize these compounded formulas externally as liniments to help decrease the swelling and inflammation. Now there's an interesting Chinese medicine lesson here because a lot of what these formulas are comprised of will, for one, we know some of the general ingredients because you see them in different regions of China and from different, you know, special secret lineages. But a lot of them have some of the same base ingredients that are herbs that we call blood movers. So certain herbs we use in Chinese medicine like Baishao, which is peony, Danshen and other herbs that are used for inflammation, specifically clearing heat like Huangqin, scutillaria, which is I think skull cap. These herbs are combined into these compounded formulas that have several synergistic purposes. So for example, we take the herb Baishao. Baishao is used day to day for many different conditions. It has a direct effect on what Chinese medicine calls the blood. So the blood includes things like actual blood circulation, hormones, for example, high Baishao formulas we use for women's health, severe abdominal cramps, endometriosis, issues with just dysmenorrhea overall. But it's also used for physical pain, muscular pain at the same time. Now Baishao is one of those herbs that is sometimes in some of these Shaolin formulas. It's a very common herb, there's no secret to it, but there's actually interesting clinical research showing that it really does work for pain. I mean it does, clinically, I use it every single day, but sometimes it's nice to see some of the research. So let's check that out. Now in one particular study, researchers were trying to see the effect that Baishao had on pain. So it was demonstrated in one study that what's called Pionafloren, one of the chief active ingredients in the root of Baishao, peony, was effective in relieving colorectal distension, induced visceral pain in rats, okay? So the analgesic, the pain relieving effect of it was mediated by certain receptors in the body. Now Baishao is not only used for, for example, the first thing I think of is really abdominal pain. There's a famous formula called Xiaojendong, minor build the middle decoction, which is used for basically chronic stomach pain. It also can be used for, as you just heard, colorectal pain, right? Issues related to digestion and bloating, abdominal pain, and also women's health. In addition to muscular pain. So people that are training really hard and are having delayed onset muscle soreness, that doms can also be moderated by high Baishao formulas. So in this case though, for the secret Xiaojendong formulas, they're applied topically. So they're external trauma elements and there are all kinds of other ingredients in there as well, like Akinite, Fuzzi, one of the most toxic plants on the planet that we actually do administer internally quite often, but it's processed in a certain way to be very, very safe. But Akinite in the same way can have a certain pain relieving effect. So these Xiaojendong formulas, we're actually gonna post a little list of some of the common ingredients here because Wikipedia actually has an entry into some of what's in these Xiaojendong formulas. It's really, really interesting to research and has been very safely guarded for probably thousands of years at this point. And they really do work clinically in my experience. Some of them we use as what's called herbal ice. There's a formula called Sanhuangsan that we also use in that way. Instead of icing something, we red-use herbs to move the blood and to decrease inflammation as opposed to slowing things down and keeping them stuck. It's a fascinating history and a fascinating science behind these trauma elements. So that's what I have for you here today, guys. Check out those links below the video if you wanna become a patient or check out that free guide I've put together and I will see you soon.


Assalamu alaikum guys, what is going on? It's your brother Muhammad here founder of another institute that come So like I said, and I promise you guys that I would show you how the vocabulary Apocalypse contest went down and who won as well and how it went and how many Mistakes that they have the contestants and what were the correct answers, etc So inshallah, that's what I want to do on this video I want to do a recap at the end inshallah will show you guys who won the $500 half a stack Okay, and then at the end as well I will show you guys how much money did I promise the net the students who are going to be Participants and contestants in the next Contest how much money did I promise them that they are going to get if they win and that?

That's I mean they have to be final This is too much What do you mean it's too much? Thank you. I've been actually borderline crazy the past and this was the point guys. This is where I wanted to get to Like here Safa opens up how hard it was to get ready to for these for these contests and even other students told me how beneficial it was and and and the best motivator the met the best motivator is pressure and Then having a deadline it pushes you even more to do things Faster so the fact that we have set this contest, which was the point of it as we say in the beginning To make their memorization better So having a deadline and having the pressure of a competition having to compete with other people it made The like some students even told me it was actually the first time that they felt like they actually Study it even though they as they you know, they complete those lessons long time ago I can't do this I need to move on with my life Why is your energy so so low now she has to feel bad because she's trying to get sad Manish manage your sofa Alright guys It might be private she sat here Okay Sounds like she about to cry And now when I say she won She mutes herself and she's out out of the room for like a whole two minutes So I start reading the chat box what the other students saying Next one is going to be a bigger one. We think about making the price to grand to grand with more lessons Here I'm thinking I'm trying to think Like with the she just left I thought she won and left I thought you was crying or something So for she legit say I need to move forward with my life Now she wasn't getting off a divorce or something I need you all I need all of you I need all of you.

It's gonna be a two grand price two grand We're going for a two grand price to back to pass to his legs The name the date is going to be a long I guess soon It's going to It's going to be more lessons So we have better start getting yourself together Lessons going and memorization everything and Yeah, man, thanks for tuning in for those who have been part of it You liked it and I hope it wasn't too, you know too Too not entertaining of a video But I had I tried to get the best parts of the probe of the of the contest Obviously, it was a two hour 37 minute Video that I had to pick from so So, yeah, I hope you like I hope you guys had a little insight of how the contest when If you're like to be part of a winning Community as we have right now We are more than a hundred a hundred and forty students. I think we reach now And and I'm the lie, you know, the progress is is is incredible the feedback is was incredible So I advise you guys to go check out the webinar. You will probably find the link down below the webinar will teach you And explain you how I became fluent in every content month and how you can do it in 15 months realistically because Obviously, you know, I didn't intend month and not everybody everybody might be able to do so but 15 is The 15 month is the average time that anyone can can do can be cannot attain fluency in Arabic In 15 month so so thanks for tuning in guys and And leaving the comments down below what you think about it and what you think we could have done better And if you have some constructive criticism, I will accept that from you as well because I believe that Feedback is the most important thing to make something better or to become better. Alright, so guys peace out. Thank you very much


Many economic analyses say that sort of the gross domestic product, the GDP, is good. And a bigger GDP spending more money in the economy is a good thing. Well, there's a lot of useful information of this, but it's not completely accurate. These pictures from the United States Geological Survey are showing the effect of Hurricane Katrina on the coast of Mississippi near Biloxi in the USA. What you see here is a picture on top from September 1998, which is well before the hurricane, and one on the bottom from August 31, 2005 after the hurricane. You will notice things such as there was a pier house, and then it was gone, and there was a pier, and then it was gone, and there was this beautiful pre-Civil War mansion, and, well, try to find it down below, and, you know, it's not there anymore. Now, if they spend money to fix these things, that money spent fixing these will show up in the GDP, and people will say, oh, look, the economy grew. But that might not be a good thing. If we see more disasters in the future, those disasters break things that we have to fix, those will show up as a growing economy, but that doesn't mean that people are better off, and in that case, we probably need better measures of what we're seeing.


During this module, we are concerned with the use of informed consent during the therapeutic setting. Informed consent to therapy is also very important as of other things. When obtaining informed consent to therapy, psychologists are duly obliged to inform the participants, either their caregivers, either their parents or clients themselves about the nature and anticipated course of therapy. The fee they are going to charge, the involvement of third parties, if any, limits to confidentiality that where they can break it and where they cannot, and provides sufficient opportunities for clients and patients to ask questions and receive answers. So this whole process should be very harmonious in which there should be no ambiguity and nothing should be hidden from the participants, from the patients that whatever is going to be the part of therapy, it should be open to all of them. Especially in some scenarios where the fee should not be hidden at all, that some additional charges will be given or how long it will last because the clients are interested to know that if we pay 2000 rupees per session, then how many sessions we are going to seek. So don't just tell them that there may be five or six or eight sessions because you can't claim them that after how many sessions the problem is going to reduce. This should be telling in advance to the clients and its caregivers because if we do not mention them earlier, then their expectations might be different towards the therapy or our outcomes might be different from that. When obtaining informed consent for treatment for which generally recognized techniques and procedures have not been established, psychologists inform their clients and parents and patients about the developing nature of treatment, the potential risk involved, alternative methods that may be available and voluntary nature of their participation. There is a complex case for which there is no method or technique and the researcher is going to explore them during the therapy and you need to discuss them before the start of the therapy rather than falsely assuming that we have all the treatments available and we can do anything for you because we are charging you. At times the complex nature of the problem is that in which the things cannot be executed without the participation of their family members. If we are giving them a technique to rehearse at home, either it is thought stopping, either it is distraction of their thoughts or anything else, then we need a co-therapist at home. So for that co-therapist we need to involve a family member, train him, guide him. In case of all those problems where the problem is not simple, for instance with the problem patients who have bipolar, we need a co-therapist at home with borderline personality, the young adolescents who have the tendency to do self harm, we need a co-therapist at home. We need a co-operation of the family so you need to tell them it is not just coming to the therapy, paying the therapist and going back home and you are not obliged to do anything for your client. So this is a two way interaction, it is a formal contract, contract between two parties and on this both have to pay their obligations. Then when the therapist is a trainee and legal responsibility for the treatment provided resides with the supervisor, the client or patient as a part of informed consent procedure is informed that the therapist is in training and is being supervised and is given the name of supervisor. But responsibility primarily is for the supervisor because he has assessed that his intern or his trainee is so capable that he can handle the clients. Of course we need to do that because from somewhere he has to do the beginning, in an individual day, the trained expert will not be able to do it but under supervision under consultation at the end of the session, he will have to discuss the case with the supervisor, he will have to see his pros and cons, what techniques he is applying, anxiety reduction or methods, so he will have to get him wet from his supervisor and then he can take the case on. But the prime obligation would be on the part of the supervisor. Therapy involving couples or family. This is very much important to see that when we are involved with couples or families, what we have to do? The psychologists agree to provide services to several persons who are in relationship but they clarify at the onset which individuals are their clients. One instance of if a couple is coming and the couple's issue is that the female is diagnosed with depression but in the diagnosis of her depression, a maintaining factor is also her husband's behaviour and the maintaining factor is also coming along with her in the therapy. So, they are counseling both of them but they will clearly know who is the patient from this. Rather than looking at both of them openly, so we need to see that who is the prime responsibility and who is the secondary responsibility. Then the psychologist's role and probable use of services provided or information obtained. So, the psychologist's role is what will happen to the prime patient and what are the issues related to the secondary that are aligned with the post's preview that should be clearly spelled out in the beginning of the therapy. If it comes apparent that the psychologist may be called on to perform potentially conflicting roles such as family therapist and then witness for one party in diverse proceedings, psychologists take reasonable steps to clarify and modify or withdraw from roles appropriately. Like initially, in the beginning, you had a client. When you started his investigation, when you took his family history, you thought that this is a case of family therapy. In the case of family therapy, when you got involved with other individuals, you started to see their psychological issues and eventually, you become their family therapist. Because the whole family is not counseling. But when it comes to the conflicting role, let's say that a divorce case has arisen or a separation case has arisen or a child's legal custody case has arisen. So there, the psychologist cannot be a neutral person. He has to be the party to the one person and withdraw the role of the therapist for another person because you just can't take your place in all the boats. You have to be at one place at one time. So, you can support one party in that conflicting situation. So, it is very ethical, recommended and important for your role to appropriate withdrawal from the psychologist.


I'm not a good swimmer, but when it comes to stories like this, I just have to swim for you all. You know, the name of this lake, this is Lake Busumche, I don't even know why the name Lake Busumche, I don't know how this lake came into existence, but for me, all I know is that I had one of the best breakfasts on this lake, like look at the Village Boy, having such a sweet breakfast on the lake, I think my mom would think that I've made it in life, oh yes, I've made it in life, I mean, since they gave it to my mom, I don't think she has ever had breakfast on the lake, how about you? Have you had any breakfast on the lake? Just let me know, but you know what, I'm not here to brag, I'm here to educate you and what I came in here, I saw people swimming in here, I saw people fishing in here, I was like wow, but I feel like we need to know more about whatever that goes on in here. I've got a beautiful sister, she's trying to hide, but hey, how are you? How are you doing? I'm good. If you're here and you're not good, I don't know what's wrong with you. They call it Lake Busumche. Yes. Wow, why the name Lake Busumche? Okay, we have Busum, which is idle.  As in a god, Busum. So in Chi, Busum means a god, like a smaller god. Okay. And then Ochi means an antelope. Okay. Yes. So I really like the locales, their story version. I also enjoy listening to the local story, since you said Busum means a god and Ochi means an antelope, which means there's a story that connects the god and the antelope. But I read something about this lake, they said it was from 3 million years ago. Yes, that's a scientific one. Oh, you call it scientific one? Tell me a little bit about the scientific one before we go to the local one. Okay, so they are saying that 3 million years ago, a meteorite hit here and it created a crater. So as it created that deep hole, later on, about 100 million years later, it started getting filled up with water. Wow. And then we do have the local one, which I always like. It never gets boring. It never gets boring. No, you know what? It seems that she just wants us to hear the local story and that's why I'm here. And I'm so excited to hear it again. It's so nice. Can we go and fish together? Who's going to tell us the local story? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, it seems he doesn't understand me. Yeah, I'm from Takaradyo. I say, I'm Beledi. I heard that Maya can form Ochi. Okay, Ojima, Ojima. Ojima, Ojima, Ojima. Now, I almost say, I'm sure they're there for me. That's something. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Oh. Oh. You see, around me, I almost say you go over there. No, I think that way. Oh, that's one of the trees. That's the one over there. Oh, wow. Okay. No, I think it was as normal as it is. But then because of the water, it sips down. So as it sips down, it makes the others look big. But then there are villages, like there are 24 villages surrounding this lake. So there's a village, village, village, village. There are 24 of it. So they were still living here, but not this close. So as he discovered it, then he knew that, oh, we have a source and then people started coming closer, you know. So then I think that since they live around here, this water will be something like a source of livelihood for them. Oh, yes. Like he's a fisherman right now. So he sells it, he gets something, he can feed himself. He can feed the family and all of that. But do people drink this water? Some, they use it to, what do you call it, cook and everything. Yes. Oh, okay, yes. Like to drink it straight like that. And then if you can notice, when I was coming here, I realized that the deepness, it slopes like, you know. Yes. As you go up, hey. No, no, no, no. Don't worry. I'm okay. I'm a good swimmer. No. So it's actually 230 to 240 feet down when you get to the middle. Where are you going? No, I just want to stack back a bit. No, no, no. No, listen, I'm just, I'm less than six feet. I can't go to 240 feet. No, okay. I understand. It's going to be a hot base one. It's okay. So what is the area? What about the area? Well, to go around it, it's more or less like 49 kilometers square. Since it's called Boston Tree, you know, we all live in Ghana.  What's that for? Hey! No, no, no. Okay. So I just want to know, is there any superstition that you guys believe around this lake? Tuesday. You can't come here on Tuesday. To fish. To fish. You can come here but you cannot fish on Tuesday.  You are worshiping it. So at the end of the day, you have to keep it neat because it's your source of life food. So God is giving you something. You have to appreciate it. So if it's dirty, you clean it and all of that, yes. Wow.  You know, in Kumasi, yeah? There's nothing like a sea in Kumasi. Yes. Okay? And don't you think this is like sea for people living in Kumasi and the half-taker of it? I don't even know why they say there's no sea. What is the difference? Okay, this is not salt sea. Okay. This is not salt sea. Thank you. It's a lake, yeah? It's a lake. So this should be the sea of Kumasi. But why are you guys not taking care of it? Because even how to get here is difficult to get here. Well, I don't want to go off politics. Yeah. But no, you are a consent citizen. But then, you know, I love this place. Yeah. It's so natural. The air here is amazing. You cannot describe it. No, it's beautiful. Yo, I'm living my best life in here. If they should, you know, help with the roads, it's good. That leads to this place? Yes. It was trust more tourist. And then I learned that they are trying to make a road around it so that if somebody wants to go, they can just drive around. Yeah, it's pretty. But then they said that about five years ago. Please, we are pleading with you on behalf of this beautiful lake. Please just come and do something because I feel like this place is so beautiful. When you come in here, you get a chance to connect with nature. Like I came to sit somewhere here watching people face. Oh my goodness, I was so happy. Your friend, Zabama, what are you doing? I'm Isaac. Isaac? Oh, you mean you're from Jacob? Yes, I'm from Jacob. You're not talking about me, you're talking about the people who are here. Yeah. Very good. Hey, let's sing a song. Oh, okay. But what? But what? Oh, okay. So I guess I'm good at doing that. But what are you using this kind of words? No more one. This is like just a wood, right? Yes. This one is better. Yes. It's better. But I've seen that everyone uses it. It's not like only you. You see another one. They also have the same thing. I think like... That this one is good. This one is good. Why not the normal canoe that everyone uses? You see how they fish where the canoe, they throw it. They cast the net. Okay. But this one, they hang the net. So they need to be very close. Just drop the net and then take the animals out one by one. You see? So, yeah. So on a good day, you see that the fishes are on it. Like they get stuck in it like that. So they just pick it out. So if they are in a canoe, it will be way up like that and it will be a short way. And then I think this is like, if you have a very good balance, you should be on this. I don't have a good balance. And I don't even want to try it out. For real. Should I say Fieru? Yeah, I'm a Fieru. Like water is not my friend, you know? Water is not my friend. I just want to say thank you so much. And yeah, thank you.


Everyone and welcome back to Empires of the Undergrowth! Oh that's why I accidentally dog- Oh this little bit. It's a little poopy corner. So welcome! I have, um, recently done two more missions in this because if we go to here, we have the Formicarian Challenge 4 and when you click it, an unprepared colony will not survive the next experiment. Make sure you are well stocked on resources. So yeah, I wasn't really, uh, so I've added, like, the leaf cutters into this and oh, whoa, wait, what? Okay we may as well upgrade them. Look at them, they're so big! We've got, I think these are the wood ants. These ones, I think are the black ants. And these ones are, oh god, I don't even know. Fire ants and black ants, and then these ones are the wood ants. So I haven't got many of those. But, uh, once I made more of them, I was like, oh food! And I remember what this game is like when you run out of food. Everything dies. So, I did, which ones did I did? Which one did I did I did? I did the bridge too far on medium. Great, loved it, uh, super easy. And then I did it on hard. Because I was like, oh well you get more food. And I spent an hour on that, and then I lost. So yeah, that was fun. But now, I'm kind of curious. We've got 1,000 thrown in 15 food, and we'll kind of see. Most of my creatures are maxed up, or most of my ants are. I think all of them are. And they've all got enough royal jelly. They've all maxed up. I think this was the most recent one, the blue one I got. Gives a small chance to take no damage, because that's way better. Way better for the fire ants. Um, so how about we just, you know, I want to see what this is. The final one. We'll do it on medium, because if you do it first time, oh wait, what's the same one? Oh, we just get more royal jelly. And like 500 extra food. Oh, easy's like the same kind of stuff. We'll do it on medium, because these will be way too easy. HA! They're about to start the Glaber trials at site B. Are you coming? Site B? He's gonna do stuff to us again. Oh God, that's a long time. Do you? Do you? I don't know if he does. All to the final experiment. But fate has presented us an opportunity. And this we must take. There's plenty to get started with for now. We'll need specimens, transposition canisters, towels, scalpels, glissarole, my trusty currette, and of course jelly. Oh, I like jelly.  Oh, look at my test tubes. Lovely. Okay. So my enduring erectors. Oh, no, what about the unnatural? What? What? My most armored hybrid. The Hammett's Scobion. Oh, it was in the Jurassic Park thing. So the cage, the site B reference as well. The Hermit Scorpion. So half scorpion, half hermit crab. Okay. So I've just got to fight this thing, huh? What if I don't want to fight it, huh? I'll just send everybody out going then. Come on then. I think they've got like a defense buff around them. So this will be interesting. I'm assuming this is going to be really tough. Oh, bless it. Look at it. Oh, yep. It's found one. Like water on rock. The erectors crash against the hybrid. Oh, oh, they can crawl on it. Look at that. Oh, they're on this shell and everything. This is awesome. Oh, uh-oh. Is this a good idea? Oh, he's, he doesn't seem so tough though. Like, I mean, I think I'm doing a good job here. My mortal is doing good damage. I'm not really losing too many. Oh, I'm saying that though. A lot of leaf cutters are dying. So, oh God, actually, yes. Although we're halfway helped. Is it, is it like a dark soul boss? Is it going to have more, more things happen to it? Defeat the hybrid in time. In time? What do you mean in time? Squat mortars. As long as they're stuck at the back. This is, look at them on top. Yeah, I think we should be able to do it. Oh God. Should, uh, should really pull away those mortars a little bit. Put them back at number two. But, uh, I think we got this. Yeah! Woo-hoo! Wait, what? It's not over? Or was that it? Oh God. I love this. This is brilliant. Oh, here it is again. Uh, whip spider mantis? Okay, the twins. Oh, they each have different health. Oh, oh, this is really interesting. Oh, wait, there's two? Okay, 90,000 or 20,000. I think we go with the left one with the 20,000. I'm assuming that's him. Hey, no, I just ate him. I was gonna say, oh please attack. Oh God. Oh God, are we even, are we even hurting him? Oh yeah, we got the 20,000. Yeah, the 90,000 health. No, that's too hard. I like the eyes. This is a cool idea. I love the Jurassic Park references. Although, oh my God. Oh, oh, I don't know if this is a, this is so good. It's, uh, no, look at them on the leg. This is crawling off it. This is about onstein and the smell. We kill this one. Does this one get stronger? Maybe I've made a mistake. I don't know. It depends how much, uh, God, he's fast. Look at him. It's almost done though. Almost done. Yes. I don't know how these things are still alive. Glisser rolls. That thing's magic. Go. This one's like three times as strong, if not more. Just a tiny bit more. Or at least I had more health. Oh, oh no. It's got like poison and bleed and that's not good. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Where's the shooties? Shooties get to the back. Yes. Stay far enough away from it. So you don't get attacked by it. It's got huge range on it. And they're putty putty. God, these things are, uh, horrible. And because it keeps moving, I don't think my motors can hurt it. They can't hit it because it counts as like moving and they need to stay still. And I don't see any splashes from the motors coming through. I'm following this leaf cutter here. This one. I want to see what he does. Oh, he did the roar. He's not taking any damage though. Oh, no. No, still no damage. Okay. If there's another roar. There we go. Yes. Oh, we are losing health. I mean, lots of food. A patient scientist in 34. Oh no. I'm trying. I'm trying my best here. Although I'm running low on food. Ten seconds. Nine, eight, seven. I don't think we're going to do it. Oh God. Is it going to squish me? Don't squish me please. Oh God. What's that? Did we lose? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh, we lost. Okay, cool. Oh, now look what you've done. Weeks of progress ruined. Suppose we can always start again with a more potent queen. No way. Then they're all like, please give me the egg. We need to repopulate. Okay, guys. Two seconds. Let me just do a mission and I'll be right back, I guess. Okay, we are back. And I've done one easy mission and another easy mission. So we should be good. This is, I think, about 3,000. The problem was we just didn't have enough to keep with the answer we were losing. So now, no, I'm thinking we should be perfectly capable of doing such things. But first, we need to go and gather all of our foods. Nom-noms. Okay, I guess we'll upgrade two rows, right?  We've got so much food that our coffers can't take any more. So I may as well. Yes, good, good, good. And now, three, three, three, three, three, three, three. Ho, ho, ho, so many threes. Okay, the mo. And the mo. And the mo. Okay, okay. Now I'm getting carried away because we basically ran out of food now. Kill him. We'll need it. So our food stalls are good. We need to look how big this whole place is.  So we can only imagine what else this game has in store. I just wish it would update quicker. It's such a goddamn beautiful game. I love it so much. Anyway, we'll save the formicarium. And now, no, we'll do medium again. I don't want to do easy. That's bad. And then we'll skip that and let's get on to the hermit crab. It's so cool. I love that it's just a Jurassic Park reference. It's beautiful.  Come on. Oh my god, it's stunned everybody. And they're all dead. Thank god they're not. Look at that black hand on the shell. Is he gonna like get flung off? Oh, he just fell all the way down. Okay, cool. At least he didn't die, I suppose. Yes, there's so many of them. Oh god, I killed a lot of leaf cutters there. Oh damn. There's like a splash damage of poison. No, this time, this time I came prepared even more upgraded ants and more food resources. And you're about to give me 600. Was that the hermit crab in them? This was like, I'll whack that thing. Okay, so we've lost about, what, 300 food-ish? And now, yes, we're gonna get 600. Which is actually too much. So we should probably upgrade some things. We'll upgrade those too, yeah. Oh yeah, these are the black ants? Yes. No. Something to provoke a creative response. Yes, on it, we'll get a couple more of those. Four legs or petapops. Four legs or petapops. Four legs or petapops. Come on, we need, we need. Upgrade them quickly. Upgrade them quickly. We're gonna need every last one of them. Quicker, quicker, quicker. Yes, level threes. Okay, here we go. Kill the twin. Kill the weaker twin. It's got less health, but it's not a push-up, but by any means. I'm wondering if the mortars would be, like it would be better if I was the rapid fire ones rather than the mortars. Because the mortars don't seem to be able to hit anything. But we've got, you know, we're gonna get, I think, 200 food for this, and then that should be more than enough. Look, the child leaf cutters on top. They're having a grand old time. Yes, 300 food. No, no, no, no, no, no. Quickly eat it. We will, we will. But first we need to not die as quick, but we probably will. So, okay. Right, I've got, like, all of those extra. Got another ring of the black ants there. Upgrade it as well. Oh, God. Oh, I don't like when I see that, like, sprucing. That's like, bleed damage. It's not good. I don't like it.  Numbers. Maybe I need, like, five times as many ants. I don't know. Look, they're still, they're still coming. Is that everybody? Oh, these are all the ones that have just died. And I've got, yeah, 21 workers just slowly replenishing everything. So we should be good. Oh, it's completely covered. Like, what more would you want? So if I have my leaf cutters, like, everything not to mount, put the leaf cutters in here, and leaf cutters could mount. So therefore, only the leaf cutters can climb on and take up the most space. Maybe that's the best bit. Oh, yeah, it's working as well. Look at them all on top. Yeah, the thing is, the leaf cutters do give extra defense to the smaller ants. I don't know how much of a difference that makes, because when they're on top, they're not giving any defense. Oh, God, please give me a lot. I think we're going to do it. Yes, we're definitely going to do it. 100%. The food's enough. Oh, look at it go down. 20,000 left. Oh, God. Oh, so many just died there. Well, yeah, 10,000. Here we go. The last stretch. Five, four, three, two, one, zero. Only 300. That's it. No. Oh, God. Oh, God, what's this thing? What's this thing he's making in the final one? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Oh, God, it's right on top. What is it? Oh, God. Oh, a dragonfly tarantula. Jesus. Okay, climb on top. Climb on top. Leave cutters. Oh, oh no. Oh, that's not good. Get away from it. Get away from it. It's going to explode. Oh, hooky-dokey. Okay, just everybody attack it. Why not? Sure, go for it. You can all mount. Mount it now while it's on the ground, if you can at all, that is. Uh, the dragantula. Oh, it even has a cool little name. There we go.  Give them defensive boosts. Wait, how much health did this have? What, only 45,000? But it has a special cool move and everything. Okay, okay, okay. Get away. Oh, my God. What's it doing? It's just like a dragon breath. Yeah, everyone, move. You're taking your sweet time to get out the way. I'll tell you that. Oh, my God. Okay, now I see why. Oh. Oh, maybe I should have like went over to it. I could have got loads of free damage to it now. But we're just so slow. Yep. Oh, God, that's a hideous monster. Yes, but now we can kill it. Oh, yeah. I think maybe this will be the last one. You're like, I like the whole idea with it doing multiple different cool moves. Okay, go, go, go, go, go. Oh, no. Oh, no. Get away. Get away. Okay, that's fine. Okay, attack it now. Go, go, go. I mean, I've got plenty of health, so I don't really need to worry about it. Climb. Climb on it. Oh, yeah, the leaf cutters are on it. Oh, the health. The health. Okay, now I know what it's going to do. Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go. Oh, what's he doing? What are you doing?  Fool. Yeah, that's fine. Don't worry, we're going to kill it. Biting its bum, bum. Yes, climb on top of it. Wait, where's it going? Oi, come back here. Not done with you. It's cool. Like we haven't seen a tarantula yet, and yet we're getting the hybrid for it. So maybe that's what's to come. 720, and it just squished all mad. Yes, defeated. If only we could finish now, but we must be patient. Okay. You'll have to stay in here for now where they won't find you. Don't give up. I'll be back soon. What is the meaning of this? Get him out of here. It's okay. I just need to escort you off-site. Absolutely unacceptable. You'll be hearing from my union representative. Okay, don't say. That is just self, my friend. Whoa. So he's getting arrested. Oh my God. And we are free? What if she's just as crazy? Congratulations. The colony has grown sufficient. Oh, look at him. Way! What was he up to? Is nothing under board here? Why did he lock the door? He's going to break out of prison and then like get us, isn't he? Be on the run. But my garrom is yours to command. To control. More levels in the works. Why not try it together another way? Oh, try the game another way. Play with your colony the way you want. An endless customizable, savable, free mode. Ooh. We can go on to all of these and just place them in. I think I would assume, but we've just got so much food. But now we're locked in a little cupboard. No, never to be discovered again. Except for now I have lots of food. Okay, hold on. Let's make these a little bit bigger then. If we've got 7,000 food. It's a few more shooty bumbums here. And I'm out of food. Oh no. Actually, I'm not definitely not out of food. If you ever look at this, I don't know where is it. There is a lot. There is so much of it. Damn. Yeah. Wait, we got like 7,000 food, didn't we?  So we did it again. And we did it on sane difficulty. Oh, I don't know. Well, we don't get anything. Oh, you don't get anything for doing that. Ah, do we get anything for doing this? Yes, we still get food. So we can grind those. But the formicarium challenge, you get no more food for shooty bumbums. There we go. And let's upgrade. Oh wow. That was pretty much all of the food I just got. I'm getting all of those extra. And now the outside rim of leaf cutters. Where I could if I had... Oh, there we go. So now I can only upgrade one more, but I don't have the food for it. And then another row of the shooty bumbums. And we are good to go. Look at the ginormous number of them, the beasts. So we are now just kind of waiting for like the next update. Again, I would love multiplayer for this. I'd love... Oh, it's like seeing the tactics of the early game where you have to like... You've only got workers and it's the best to just create the nest first or just to put them in your like first slot and actually control them and gather food. Oh man, my love for this game never ends. It's so good, so much fun. It's so good. I just want to see it complete. Ah, alas, we can't have that because games take time. Good games anyway.  I'll leave a like and until next time, I'll see you cuties later. Oh, bye-bye.


Here I go. I got all passionate about it. So here he goes, but it's great And I would tell you I mean as somebody who's been asking for money in my community for more than 30 years I Could see when it worked After studying this with you When it worked and why it worked and maybe more importantly why it didn't work right and you know I have been thinking back on all of these conversations on all of these lunches or coffees or dinners or Meeting with people in their homes, and I was never afraid. I was never afraid to ask But I would be bitterly disappointed when Something didn't turn out the way I thought it should I could never really go back and say well This is why and now as I'm replaying all of these Times I'm like dang it dang it if I had known You know, maybe I would have done this and so I for me I have to witness it's been really powerful To see this I mean really powerful as part of
