First question is from la flinsta. How do I push past a bed bench-press plateau or any for that matter? Oh, the dreaded strength plateaus.   So you have a particular goal You're progressing and strength Doesn't just come on your body on a consistent week by week basis just doesn't work this way Maybe in the beginning, but eventually you start to hit plateaus and you kind of have to figure out what to do So i'll tell you one of the easiest ways that I broke past Bench press plateau way back in the day and it's very silly But it worked really well for me is I actually moved away from the barbell bench press and I did Dumbbell chest press and I did that for I think I did it for like five weeks And it got really strong with dumbbells went back to the barbell because there's similar enough movements, right? But the dumbbells require more stability It's a little bit of different activation and for whatever reason for me It got me past the plateau that I was in and I was able to add I think it like 10 or 15 pounds to my bench I'll piggyback on that and and say like two with using a stability ball Uh is another way to get that leg driving a lot of times too like that was something that It took me took me later on benching to to realize how Much more stable and how much more forced output I could I could produce by really focusing on that leg drive But also the stability and security of the shoulder joint itself And so I feel like a broken record all the time about talking about Rotational movements and different things to enhance The overall stability of the shoulder, but that's something that I had to work through because I would always hit a wall Eventually, you know in my front delt and and that was just something that would limit me in my progress So to answer this best it would be most ideal to know what this person's routine looks like Because there could be like a low hanging fruit here Like so let's say this person is trying to get better at their flat bench But then they like never do barbell incline bench and one of the best things that ever brought my Overall bench up was getting better at the incline bench. So I would drive in that position Let's pretend they're doing that all time, but they never do dumbbells to salis point that I would put them towards the dumbbell So knowing what you're what you're currently doing for The bench press and what you do consistently and then what you tend to miss or not do very consistently Is the direction that I would push you now There are some exercises that I also found later on that I I wouldn't have thought it that would translate to a better bench Heavy weighted dips Getting into dips and and going really deep and heavy Really because a lot of the most sticking point for most people is being able to get it out off their chest Right? I mean most everybody can lower it down to their chest But it's getting out of that hole and completely, you know, to lift the weight out of the hole Doing weighted dips Really helped me out with that I would agree overhead presses getting really good at a full range of motion overhead presses really good too And then this is a more advanced technique and I learned I've told the story a hundred thousand times But I learned this from one of my trainers and that was to to practice the bench press every day at sub You know sub like at low intensities. So in other words, it would be like let's say 50 intensity. So let's say you can bench press 100 pounds and 10 reps is your max What he did is he would go out and he would do five reps with it And do a few sets every day. He just had a lot of practice But real kind of low to moderate intensity And I practiced this myself and this is the first time I broke through uh, three plates was doing that I literally bench pressed I think was like five or six days a week at low intensities and just got really really good at it There's so many little nuance things that you can concentrate on too This is what I'm realizing going through and teaching kids now how to do an actual bench press is You know just making a nice tight fist and like gripping the bar properly and finding that position That's ideal for you individually and then also, you know Pretending that basically you're bending the bar. And so now we're getting you know, even more stability and control And more muscular tension involved And so there's just like a lot of little things you can do and that's why it's beneficial to to lighten the load Do it with less intensity and really hone in on the technique well to that point sal The priming is another great tip too. So somebody who is not Priming before they go do their bench and you're spending the first couple sets getting in the groove You're wasting a lot of energy on your chest and shoulders Trying to find the groove and get into position where if you do a really good job of priming your upper body Before you go into bench press a lot of times you can get right after the heavy weight and you're not you're not spending a much energy


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's pretty big Wednesday today of content in FIFA 22. There is a lot going on with the market, with leaks, with new potential promo. Road to the final cards moving crazily in price because of Atlético Madrid. More games today in the UCL. There's a lot to talk about today. But the headlining thing and the headlining topic for today is the potential 94 rated player of the month, Kylian Mbappe, SBC that should be coming out in the next couple of days. So we're going to talk about that today. We talked about it last week, but it's now confirmed and leaked that he has one. So we'll talk about the price, how it could affect the market, how it already has affected the market. And of course, speaking with the market, a lot of foot birthdays dropped yesterday because of that UEFA Marquis matchups, SBC bringing supply to the game. We'll talk about today on Wednesday, how they could continue dropping. If EA run lightning rounds, it happened last week. It could happen again this week as well. So if you're excited for the video today, make sure to thumbs up. And of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's get right down to business. Player of the month, Kylian Mbappe, this is the leak. Now, here's the thing with leaks for Player of the Months, right? It's not really in question. He has one. This is a leak, but it's basically confirmed because a Player of the Month winner, it's not like it's a regular SBC that EA is in control of putting out. Like a Player of the Month is voted on by the league, by the fans. Like this is coming, right? This isn't just a leak. It's basically confirmed. The only question we have is now, is when are we going to see it in the game? Most likely it could come on Thursday. It could come between today, Wednesday and Friday, I really think. But the Ben Yetter SBC expires on Thursday. And most often the League One Player of the Months get released on Thursdays in general. So tomorrow could be a big Mbappe day with this SBC being dropped. We do expect it to be 94 rated. That would be a plus one over his most recent inform, the 93. It will not upgrade the headliner card, but it will be a new card that a lot of people will try to go out and craft because this SBC will be live for most likely 20 to 30 days throughout the whole month. You know, Player of the Month, right? It's out for a month. So a lot of these Mbappe cards have dropped off already as people have seen this leak. And they're selling these cards because they're like, oh my goodness, there's going to be a SBC for Mbappe and I'm going to be able to complete his card and have a better version than most of the other versions that people use on this game right now besides the headliner and the team of the year. But this has caused a lot of panic selling. Check, take a look at Gold of Mbappe from 560K down to 450. He dropped 100,000 coins. He's rebounded back up just to around 500K where if you bought in this drop, same thing with some of the informs. If you bought with this drop off, I would go ahead and take the cash. That would be my safe advice to you if you bought when he dropped down because I think when this SBC does come out, you're going to see some more people panic selling, more selling on the informs on the Gold card because people don't mess around when they see an SBC like this. When you can go and claim this card and not have to spend any coins, some people will sell their headliner version which is better and maybe some people even sell, the team of the year dropped yesterday. Can we look at this for a second? The best version of Mbappe on the game went from 5.4 down to 5 million coins and is only now back to 5.2. Yes, a 97 rating Mbappe. People were selling this yesterday because of this leak. How crazy is that, right? But just the ability to have a card like this untradable in your team that doesn't lose coins and value when you do the SBC that's out for so long that you can craft bit by bit every week or so if you want to take the long route since it'll be available for so long, that's why there's hype for an SBC like this. Now, what's the price gonna be? Well, we still think that EA is not gonna cut us any shortcuts with this card. Probably gonna end up being somewhere around 2.5 to 3 million coins since this inform before the crash was still about 2 million coins of value. I think that 94 Mbappe is gonna be 2.5 to 3 mil and I do think that it'll make fodder rise a little bit but it's not gonna make fodder spike because this isn't an SBC that you're gonna be able to do all in one sitting. At least most people won't be able to, right? It's gonna take them a few days, maybe a week or so doing upgrade packs and picks. It does help that we get the milestone rewards this Thursday with the season ending. So a lot of people will have some extra packs and some rewards tomorrow at their supply in the club when this SBC would potentially get released. So that's kind of my thoughts on the Mbappe. Again, fodder right now, if you wanna stock it, again, as I mentioned, we might have lightning rounds today on Wednesday, that happened last week. So maybe if you see fodder drop a little bit today on Wednesday, maybe into tomorrow or Thursday, could be an opportunity to snag a few of these cards, put something in the club. If you really look to do this Mbappe SBC pronto after it is released. So that's kind of all we're talking about with this Mbappe today. Expect it tomorrow. That is my opinion with this card on the game. Now, I actually bought a couple of the Mbappe's yesterday, I bought some Mbappe's at like 470 and he did rebound back up. I sold them just a minute ago at 500K and Mbappe right now is around 505, 506. So he has bounced back up. If you bought any of these cards, whether it was one of the Inforums or the Headliner or something like that, my recommendation to you would be take the cash because I think, again, when people see the Mbappe SBC released and if there's any crazy information about this brand new promo that is gonna be coming out maybe this Friday, I think that could drop some of these prices again. If the SBC is crazily overpriced, you might see a few of these cards bounce back, maybe the Mbappe Inform, the gold card, maybe the Headliner or the team of the year.  But if it's anywhere under two and a half, 2.75 mil, I think people are gonna see that and say, okay, it's decent value. I can get that done over a week or two or three. Then you're gonna see some of these cards drop down in price, that's my opinion. So we'll see what happens with that, of course, that should be coming tomorrow. Earliest potential is today though, you never know. Maybe EA would drop it a day early. We could see that pretty soon. Now also something we could see today is a loading screen and that's what I wanna talk about next, the potential for this next promo. I know that foot birthday has been a little bit lackluster in terms of the SBC content. We haven't had any party bags yet. As of right now when I'm recording this, we have no pack codes added, we have no hints or clues or anything related to a party bag that we were so hoping to see as a part of this foot birthday promo. It is not out at the moment. So we still hold on to a maybe little grasp of hope that we might see a party bag, maybe tomorrow on Thursday or something like that. But there is a new promo and as I mentioned, we could hear some information about it today. Sometimes Wednesdays are loading screen days for brand new promos. Take a look at this. There is a new promo being added fantasy foot player and foot sheriff says that he expects it to see. He expects to see it this Friday. So this could be our next promo, which he says is similar to the what if promo. If you guys remember that from last year, he said it's gonna be a two week promo and that it's somewhat a new version of the what if promo. Now last year, if you guys remember this promo, the what if promo was basically, they released just, it felt like a filler promo between like a February and team of the season, right? It feels like this might be just another two week promo to get us towards that almost team of the season timeframe, which believe it or not, we are like a month and a week, five, five, four weeks away from team of the season hype beginning. But the what if promo last year was live cards that didn't upgrade based on individual performance. They upgraded based on team performance with goals or clean sheets, attackers and midfielders. If their club scored six goals in five matches, they got an upgrade. Defenders and goalkeepers, if their club kept one clean sheet over five matches, they got an upgrade. So the potential was for the upgrades to happen almost instantly. If you guys remember last year, like what if and Babu got an insanely quick upgrade because Wolfsburg like kept a clean sheet the first weekend that that card was in packs. So these cards are cool because they're live on the upgrade and stuff like that. So that's all fun and games, but last year the content was not that great. So that's why people don't have the best, I guess, memory of the what if promo. So evidently that is what this promo could be kind of structured around. We'll see, right? Again, as I mentioned, it's not guaranteed that we'll get a loading screen today, but that'll be something that I'm watching for because on Wednesdays of a brand new promo, we often do see a loading screen. I think the foot birthday loading screen came on a Wednesday, either Wednesday or Thursday. If that promo is this Friday, we could be seeing a loading screen. So we'll probably talk about it more tomorrow if we have some more information of course to discuss, but that's all that we have right now. It looks like we are getting another promo or some sort of promo this weekend. They're not gonna leave us hanging after two weeks of foot birthday. Now, speaking of the market, like we did earlier, yesterday we had the UEFA Marquis matchups as expected. It was the same SBCs as leaked. There was a token inside of it and the pack supply yesterday and also the 85 plus times three. I can't forget about this SBC, right? I think the combination of that pack supply yesterday and this SBC, the 85 triple upgrade right here, which actually looks like it's going to be, we're gonna be able to do this SBC again today. As you can see, it says repeatable zero times, but in 16 hours, which would turn out to be today, 6 p.m. UK time, we're gonna be able to do the 85 plus triple upgrade again and people are gonna be able to turn in 84s, 85s, whatever, it was an 84 rated squad with a team of the week and 70 chemistry. So not that bad for a gamble pack. People are gonna do that 100% again today on Wednesday since that is going to be released. So I would watch out for that. But the combination of those two things that I just listed there really dropped some of the full birthdays in price. I mean, Fikir was like 460,000 coins yesterday before all that content dropped and this guy was under 400K. I don't know if he is right now, but he was 390,000 coins during the Champions League game when they were going on yesterday, but a lot of these full birthdays dropped in price. If we take a look at some of their prices, around right now, Firmino was down in the low 1.2 ranges. He's kind of slightly bounced back up. Danny Alves went from like 730K and he was 660 at one point. Look at this drop, 733 all the way down to 660.  Neuer was down at 100,000 coins flat. Again, we talked about the Fikir drop. So you just had a lot of supply and just coins being taken off the market. So prices dropped, not even just on these cards yesterday, but prices dropped across the whole game. If you take a look at some other special cards, Suarez is down at 840. He was 810 at one point. Dila Renzo was down at like 55,000 coins. And even if you take a look at some of the older out-of-packs cards, these guys just continue to drop in value on a lot of these items because coins are being taken off the market when they drop SBCs like that. So since we're gonna have that SBC again today, I would keep a close eye on what is going on there. Also, EA FIFA Direct just tweeted that impacted players have been messaged in-game with their new player pick being available in the foot store. EA Sports, I was affected by the icon moments, the mid-prime player pick. Where's my, all right, there it is. Thank you for your patience while the team worked through resolving a content issue that was impacting your account. Oh, we have granted you the correct content that could be claimed through the store. This compensation is what everybody was talking about. Beautiful. So I'm gonna have a player pick here. Actually, what I might do, I'm gonna save that for the stream. Ooh, I'm gonna have to, you're gonna hate me for this, but if you wanna watch me open that player pick, I'm gonna save that for the Twitch live stream today on Wednesday, twitch.tv slash the foot account and cheeky plug. I am gonna open that up. I wanna open on stream though because it'll be fun to do it live. So I will see you there for that. We'll open it towards the beginning. Make sure you check that link. Anyways, back into the video. That's big news, right? People are gonna be getting icons tonight, untradable, unless there's something crazy going on with them that would make them tradable like before, but I doubt that would happen. I think EA would just be giving out untradable icons. The mid-prime player pick as expected right there. So that's kind of big news actually. But more probably price drops on the foot birthday card today. We were just in the store talking about lightning rounds. Last week on Wednesday and Thursday, they dropped lightning rounds on both days. I think they could do that again because EA just knows that this is one of the promos where they can get people to open packs for since they've put some insane cards in packs. And since they did it last week and we had the insane lightning rounds this past weekend for foot birthday team too, I think they'll do it again. So still, if you're looking to buy full birthday cards, we're putting that on pause. Still, honestly, until we get more information about this promo, I'm pushing that off until like Thursday with the bar key matchup supply and maybe more lightning rounds and an Abape player the month and maybe even until Friday with whatever this new promo is. So any of the foot birthday two cards that you might want for your team, I'm pushing that off again until later on this week. Now for the rest of content today on a Wednesday, we do have a brand new team of the week that features a big player in headlining the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, right? Cristiano Ronaldo Sui is gonna get an inform and it's gonna upgrade his wants to watch. And I think that you should sell that wants to watch Ronaldo if you have it. If you have that wants to watch Ronaldo, I would take the cash because I think it's up too high in value. Yes, his inform is gonna be 92 rated. Yes, it is gonna boost this wants to watch card up. I mean, how is this card 1.4 million coins and the team of the group stage Ronaldo, which will probably have just about the same stats as the inform today is 990 K. I know it's a live item, but this card was 600,000 coins. I know he was so cheap because Ronaldo wasn't scoring and he had a hat trick against Tottenham and he deserves this inform. But I would sell this card because I think after the inform today it is gonna go down. That's just my opinion. I think the inform Ronaldo is probably gonna be under a million coins since this 92 is there and more of a rare card. So it might not be under a million coins just yet unless they make it some sort of crazy. If they made a record breaker item for this Ronaldo, which I don't know if they're going to, but if they do, then that would probably make him be a little more expensive just because the fact that record breakers are so much better than informs. But that's kind of my opinion on the Ronaldo. So if you're playing weak only this weekend, you got that 92 Ronaldo in reds that everybody's gonna be shooting for and in team of the week packs. So today people are gonna open their team of the week packs 100% whoever's in team of the week today, which I think there's a fair in Torres that's gonna be in as well. Barcelona fans will be happy about that. People are gonna open their team of the week packs today with the potential of getting a Cristiano Ronaldo. So just be cognizant of that happening today. Now elsewhere on the game today, we have more road to the finals in action. And I wanna talk about this part of the market just a little bit too. I actually made some coins or, well, it's technically not a realized gain yet because I have Marcus Llorentes that I bought at 770,000 coins. And this guy is 800,000 coins because he is getting a plus two, right? So his card is up in price and it's probably gonna rise a little bit more because of the potential plus two that he is getting. And then Telaz's item is down bad. This guy was down at 130K. He started to rise back up a little bit, but people are dumping this card because it's no longer gonna upgrade and the exact opposite is happening for the Llorentes card. Now today with Chelsea and Lille and Juventus and Villarreal, two interesting games today because Kai Havertz and Chelsea, this card has a potential to get another plus one for moving on to the next round of the competition. If Chelsea, they don't even have to win today and this card could get a plus one. It is if they move on and have the better score and win on aggregate, they will move on to the next round, this will get a plus one. Now, Ronaldo Sanchez still has a small likelihood of getting himself an upgrade as well.  Yes, I'm for real because if Lille were to win the game today, but if Chelsea were still, basically if Lille would win one-oh or two-to-one because right now Chelsea is two-oh-up on aggregate. If Lille win the game, but don't win by enough to advance, then this Ronaldo will get a plus one for the win, right? Because they have not won a game yet in the Champions League. So if they do somehow win today against Chelsea, this card will get a plus one. If they were somehow to beat Chelsea today on aggregate and win three-oh and win three-two in aggregate and then move on to the next round and knock Chelsea out, this card will get a plus two. So not very likely, but you never know. Crazier things have happened. So just kind of keep that in mind. Now also a big potential plus two is on the line today for Quadrado. They are favored, of course, to beat Villarreal because right now that game is one-one aggregate. So if Juve were to win today and, of course, secure their spot in the next round plus two for Quadrado, he would go through an 89-rated item. So that's the action that we have today in terms of the road to the finals. We don't have any Europa League games. It is just Champions League for today on Wednesday and then Thursday we'll have Subway Europa League and Conference League games with a few more cards in action there. Again, as I mentioned, we have no words yet on a party bag SBC. That was something I was hoping to cover tonight. And as of right now, we got nothing. We really have nothing about new pack code added. At least as I'm recording this video, I see nothing along the lines of that. So that's a bit of a bummer, but I guess EA is gonna drop this 85 plus times three again and make that doable another time. So that will be where our potential lies today for a gamble pack SBC. If you're trying to pack more of these foot birthday cards, this is gonna be repeatable, I guess you could say, again today on Wednesday. We'll also probably get Silver Stars today and I believe we have a Kelleher that will be getting the Liverpool goalkeeper is gonna be our Silver Star item. I would imagine that of the three foot birthday swap tokens that we are yet to see, I think that one of them would come from Silver Stars today. And I also imagine they would drop the foot 21 SBC today and then tomorrow on Thursday, our last token would be available from Marquis matchups after this one expired. So the last couple's tokens are gonna be going live in the next two days here. I imagine that all tokens would be out by Thursday so that when foot birthday ends on Friday, they won't be releasing any more tokens. That is just my opinion there. So it's kind of an interesting time on the game because we're gonna have another gamble pack today, Ronaldo team of the week and a lot of curiosity about upcoming events again with that player, the month in Bapé right there ready for us. Hopefully tomorrow on Thursday. And then also we should be having more information coming about a loading screen or about this new promo, whatever it's gonna be. So if it's hype, we'll have to see it. We'll probably talk a little bit more about that tomorrow on the YouTube channel. If you missed yesterday's double upload, by the way, if you're somebody who's trying to make some coins, I talked about some coin making methods in the current state of the market, stuff that you can do to make coins every single day, kind of like myself, tripping a lot of the icons, flipping a lot of these special cards. I did sell Etoe yesterday. So over a million coins, I'll profit on this card, definitely my biggest whip this year by far for one item. That was a huge W. Still have a couple icons right now. I have a job here that I'm trying to flip at the moment, trying to get that out still. But the coins have been made this week, right? We've been making a lot of coins and it's still a great time to trade, especially if you're trying to build that coin total up towards team this season. So check that video out if you think it would be of use to you. So I will see you guys on the Twitch stream today. I feel bad because I almost talked about opening that Play to Pick and I didn't do it. So don't hate me too much. But come to the stream if you want to see it. Link down below. Of course, if you did enjoy the video today, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nate at Put-A-Count and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Liz Liddell hates being called Lizzie because the thought of it makes her all dizzy. So the way she made sure no one would try makes the letter I in Liz with a Y. Freaking genius, right? Isn't that great? Ladies and gentlemen, Liz Liddell. I recognize that I'm not as large a name speaker as many of the speakers here at TAM. And so I figured I'd give you a little bit of background. And to do that, you need to understand the organization that I work for. And that's the Secular Student Alliance. So I guess I don't have a whole lot of explaining to do. The Secular Student Alliance is one of the only secular organizations in the United States that is solely dedicated to the support of secular students and student communities. We should promote the ideals of scientific and critical inquiry, democracy, secularism and human-based ethics. We are a recognized leader in grassroots organizing, cooperating with dozens of other organizations in the U.S. and beyond in the Freethought Movement and beyond, including of course the excellent James Randi Educational Foundation. So that's my organization. I'm the most visible person at the Secular Student Alliance. I'm more like the director of campus organizing behind the curtain. I'm not a media rock star. I'm not a famous blogger. I'm not our executive director. What I am is a campus organizer. Somehow I'm going to figure out how to get all my notes up here so I know what I'm doing. There we go. I have four years of full-time professional campus organizing experience. I have experience with hundreds of student groups and thousands of student leaders here in the United States and I'm a resource on secular students and grassroots organizing not only within the Freethought Movement but beyond it as well.  I understand that. So let's get down to business. Imagine for a moment what our world looks like without critical thinking. It is admittedly a little bit of a scary place. Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy are medical authorities on childhood illnesses. Acupuncture and ear candles are given equal booking to physical therapy, medicine and surgery in our medical health care programs. U.S. legislators refuse to make public policy on climate change because God says it's going to be fine. Now you all understand that this is a pretty scary place. You're already here fighting back against these ideas, fighting for more science and rationalism. But how do we change it for everyone else? It might seem like an impossible task. We have to go to the very roots of our society, change both public policy and societal awareness. We need to build a new culture, one in which questioning is lauded and blind faith is not. We need to change the way people think and we need to start early. We're going to start with students, all of them. Why students? We have a tremendous opportunity in front of us right now. More than ever before, young people are beginning to question what they're being told, including even those topics that were once thought to be unquestionable, namely religion. Take a look at this graph. We're looking at that orange line more to the right-hand side. That's the millennial generation. That's the people who are in college right now. And all of those, over 30%, are doubting the existence of God. That is twice as many as any other generation and twice as many as their own generation just five years ago. And if they're questioning the previously untouchable question of God, then just imagine what else they're starting to question. They are already out there thinking about this stuff. So we have this great opportunity to give them the skills and tools they need to reach out, see what they're looking at, question it, evaluate it, and make the best possible conclusions about our world. Of course, there are some very pragmatically driven ideas why we should be working with students as well. The university setting is a great place for new ideas. Oftentimes, students are encouraged to come up with new ideas as part of projects and homework assignments, much less being presented with ideas from their peers that they may not have encountered before. Moreover, again, especially in the college setting, students are no longer as closely held under their parents' influence. They have the freedom to experiment and explore the world around them. Bonus, students have access to funding and space through their universities. This enables them to hold much larger events at much lower equivalent costs to many other audiences. But the most important reason we work with students is that students are the future. They are not going to be in school forever, at least most of them, but they're going to leave. They're going to graduate. They go on to become CEOs, politicians, doctors, and pop culture icons. The scientific and critical values they hold as students are going to remain with them throughout their lives. This is how we change society. As with any social movement, we do face some obstacles, and many are unique to this situation. Students don't have a lot of extra cash. In today's economy, which is great, and with rising tuition costs, oftentimes students are taking out tremendous loans just to pay for the costs of tuition, housing, and textbooks. They don't have a lot of spare pocket change. On top of that, they usually don't have reliable transportation, which makes it hard for them to get off campus and get to events like this here today. We like to say at the Secular Student Alliance that our work is like organizing at a bus stop. Everybody is coming and going very, very quickly. Leaders move on, and that makes it hard for a group to survive with multiple transitions, often every single year. And even if the group does survive, we have a loss of the institutional memory that makes a group strong. The new leaders have to relearn the same basic lessons every single year. Geographic isolation can be a problem. Colleges are often kind of in the middle of nowhere or in very small towns. If you're at a Secular Student Alliance in, say, Bozeman, Montana, there might not be another secular group for 100 miles. Student groups die. It happens, especially with that high turnover. The college level, we've historically seen about one in 10 groups die every year. At the high school level, it's about one in five. Some scientific ideas are facing a lot of resistance right now. Try going to Texas and teaching climate change as fact or evolution in Louisiana. How about comprehensive sex ed and reproductive rights in Oklahoma? Vaccinations in Los Angeles, so on and so forth. And this makes it hard for secular students to stand up and push for solid scientific education. On the other hand, we have some ideas out there that are pretty crazy that are making it hard to accept critical thinking. Ideas like, well, there can be multiple truths. Okay, that makes it really hard to take the one set of facts we have and have a rational discussion about it. But despite these obstacles, we have not let this get in our way. Secular students are a rising force in our society and they're beginning to be recognized all over the country. Take a look at how far they've come. This is 366 campus and high school groups right now. Yes, absolutely. The blue bars at the top of this graph represent our high school groups. We have 42 high school groups right now. I think Douglas Adams would be proud. And just in the past five years, we have seen really incredible growth in the number of secular students out there building communities to support the values of scientific and critical thinking. And it's not just the number of groups that's growing. The average group size has gone up in every way from dues paying members to attendance at events to Facebook groups and email lists. So we are reaching more students than ever before. At our national office, we've had to massively increase our staff to keep up with the demand we have. We have 14 staff and two interns right now. And as a result, we've been able to increase our affiliates' awareness of the services and resources we have to offer. And because of that, we've been able to take our longstanding goal of increasing retention to over 90%. This spring semester, we knocked that out of the park with over 92% attrition, retention. The demand for the services we offer is up. That means our groups are out there doing more. We've organized more speakers' bureau visits than we have before. We've sent out more resources for tabling so that students can go out on their campus, raise awareness and educate their communities. But here's the real kicker. We are sending out a phenomenal number of group starting packets. These free packets are available to any student interested in starting a group at their college or high school. And while not all of them become groups, the number of them that do is going up. In 2008, only about 14% of these packets resulted in successful affiliates. Today, this past school year, it's over 25%. So considering that we have over doubled the number of packets we're sending out and we've almost doubled the percentage of them that become groups, you can see why we're growing so fast. Now, here's a good question. What the heck are these student groups doing that's so important anyway? Well, let me tell you, they do a lot. Let's start with the easy ones. Our affiliate groups hold fantastic events with top-of-the-line speakers, bringing science and critical thinking to campuses and larger audiences all over the country. Phil Plate, Michael Sturmer, Massimo Piliuci, James Randy himself, and dozens more are making appearances at campuses with audiences of hundreds throughout the school year. And if that weren't enough, some groups are taking that to the next level and holding regional events and conferences of their own, anywhere from one to three days of fantastic speakers targeting a local or regional audience interested in skepticism. These events, like the Freethought Festival in Madison, Wisconsin, Skepticon in Springfield, Missouri, there we go, Reason Fest in Lawrence, Kansas, and many, many more events like these are entirely student-run and often free to attend, bringing in audiences of anywhere from a couple hundred people to over a thousand attendees interested in these issues. That's the strength that's in the student movement. Many of our groups participate in service projects. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has challenged the secular community to participate in their cancer-fighting life-the-night walk, and secular students are rising to that challenge. Other creative groups have reached out and participated in week-long service projects, rebuilding houses in New Orleans, Florida, and other hurricane-damaged areas. This is a creative group knitting blankets for the Linus Project, which provides these hand-knit comforts to children who've suffered traumatic experiences. And these are just a few examples. Over half of all of our affiliates participate in service projects throughout the year. Our affiliates are passionate about social justice and human-based ethics. Here, the Rutherford High School campaign, the Rutherford High School Secular Student Alliance, mounts a chalking campaign to fight LGBT bullying. A Kansas student led the creation of the We Are Atheism website, which is the It Gets Better campaign for young atheists. We also see widespread participation in interfaith social justice programs, like the Interfaith Youth Corps Better Together program, and this past school year, one out of five groups of the SSA were participating in a program like this. Our students are enthusiastic about campus outreach and raising awareness of secular and free-thought issues. Many of our groups participate in the 1023 campaign, the Homieapathy Overdose event, with the clever slogan, there's nothing in it. The Alliance Secular Student Alliance on Good Friday held an event called Have a Good Friday Night, in which they handed out three condoms on campus. I'm gonna tell you more about that one. Not only does the event raise awareness of the Catholic Church's stance on AIDS in Africa and the misinformation they spread that contributes to the spread of AIDS, but it's also fun and promotes safe sex on campus while raising great attention for their group. In 2011, a student group created Ask an Atheist Day, which has become an annual national event all over the country. The off-campus community has picked up on this, and so they're beginning to participate in well, hoping to reach out, educate their communities, combat stereotypes, and correct misinformation. So where do we go from here? Let's start by taking a look at the programs that we're already working on. I keep talking a little bit about our high school groups, and that's a place where we can expect to see a lot of growth in the years to come. We launched our high school program in the beginning of 2011, and it has nearly quadrupled the size of our high school affiliate base in that time, and the demand at high schools is phenomenal. At our annual conference last weekend, we officially launched our regional program. We have two paid regional campus organizers, as well as an opportunity for volunteers to coordinate networks of SSA affiliate groups in a specific geographic area. These networks enable communication and cooperation so that groups can host collaborative events, speaker tours, and establish an understanding that their campus group is not the only secular group in the world, but that they are part of a larger free thought movement. The feed, at our conference, we had 14 of these networks start on this spot, and we're hearing more and more from interested students in creating even more networks through the country. Another program we just launched is a series of resources aimed at the faculty and staff advisors of our affiliate groups. We provide great training to our student leaders, and at our most recent conference, we also held a track of programming specifically for these advisors. The feedback from that track is going to become a series of web-based resources that all of our advisors will have access to, hopefully creating more advisor involvement in our groups, which will lead to more sustainable, strong, active campus affiliates. We also just launched our free student memberships. For years, the leaders of our affiliate groups have been part of a community that's larger than just their campus. With this program, we're expanding that opportunity for community and belonging to the entire membership of those groups as well as any students who don't have an SSA group in their area. We launched this program in March of this year, and we already have over 2,000 members. So if you're a student in this audience or you have students in your household, stop by our table outside in the hallway and become a member today. It's free and it's a great program. Our new alumni program went live this spring, which provides an opportunity for leaders and members of SSA affiliate groups to stay connected and involved with the movement after they leave campus. We have a special alumni membership rate, connections with other organizations, graduation gifts, an alumni newsletter, and more tools to keep those alumni involved and connected as they head out into the real world. And all of that, that's just what we have in the pipeline right now. Let's take a look further out and see where we might go. In five years, assuming the same rate of growth we've seen over the last year, we will have over 1,000 affiliate groups. Just think about that.  I don't blame you for being skeptical, but here's where I'm coming from. There are almost 6,000 colleges here in the United States and over 24,000 public high schools alone. That's a lot of opportunity. And the general awareness of the Secular Student Alliance through traditional media and social media is skyrocketing. So we had the opportunity and we had the demand. Another way we can reality check this estimate is to take a look at an organization that we are pretty similar to in function. And that's the Gay Straight Alliance Network. We both work with an invisible, stigmatized population and we have a similar model of affiliate groups. The GSA network was formed in 1998. That's 14 years ago. And today they have over 4,000 GSAs registered at high schools and colleges across the country. Now take a look at this graph. That's 14 years right there. If our growth is gonna look anything like what the GSA network has seen, then this estimate of 1,000 groups in five years might be pretty damn conservative. So how do we do this? The students are out there. They have time, energy, passion, ideas, but they don't have the funding to support this movement by themselves. You're here, Tam. You are already committed to the secular, the scientific and critical thinking values that we all hold. And the Secular Student Alliance acts as a bridge between these two communities. We're a democratic membership organization and we rely on individual supporters and donations to make our work possible. And right now we have an incredible $250,000 matching offer on the table. So any donation you make today is gonna be matched dollar for dollar and we only have about $30,000 to go before we meet this match. We can't do what we do without support from individuals like you. So I'd love to invite you to come out after the talk, stop by our table, make a donation, become a supporter or find out other ways you can support secular students. Because together we can create that future that relies on critical thinking. Now I'd like to leave you with one last comparison. We are not infrequently referred to as the godless version of Campus Crusade for Christ, which has these days rebranded itself as Crue. And again, we have a similar campus organizing model, one national office, campus-based groups, but let's take a look at some of the differences in what we're doing out there. Crue teaches its members to follow doctrine and dogma. We teach members to question and inquire and learn about the world around them. Crue teaches that people are inherently sinful. While the Secular Student Alliance believes that people have an inherent value to them. Crue preaches the afterlife and we think this is our only life and we damn well better make the most of it. Crue encourages abstinence and represses sexuality in their members. The SSA encourages safe sex, positive sexuality and comprehensive sex ed. Crue's literature teaches that homosexuality is unnatural, unhealthy and sinful to be repressed at all costs and that transgender issues are so evil as to be unspeakable.  Crue downplays climate change while the Secular Student Alliance encourages activism regarding climate change and other controversial issues. And Crue of course supports intelligent design while we're out there fighting for the teaching and understanding of fact based Darwinian evolution. So let's take a look at how we're doing out in the field. Let's start with budgets. Crue's annual budget is $500 million every year. This is our biggest budget year yet. We're on 998,000. Crue has three staff for every campus group they support. At the Secular Student Alliance each one of our staffers supports about 33 campuses. They clearly have the advantage in spreading their message but here's where it gets interesting. The latest data we have for Crue is from 2011. Between the years of 2007 and 2011 their campus program grew about 16%. But in the same timeframe 2007 to 2011 the Secular Student Alliance out there teaching secular values, skeptical inquiry, critical thinking, rationality and activism has grown by 116%. Adds up to 2011. Today we're at 366, that's another 93% on top of this chart. These are the secular students. They are the future and they are unstoppable. Thank you. Liz Liddell, Liz Liddell everybody.


Hello everyone, welcome back to another session in dentistry and more. So we are continuing our dental anatomy sessions So today's session is about maxillary second premolar. So far we finished maxillary central lateral canine first premolar and mantibulock So we have three systems of tooth numbering in universal system the right second maxillary premolar will be four and And The left second premolar will be 13 Okay, so this is central lateral canine first premolar second premolar first second third molar central lateral canine First premolar second premolar first second third molar in sigmondi power system. It will be five Because it starts like one two eight Central lateral canine first premolar second premolar on both side. So it will be just like this an FDA system it will be 15 and 25. Okay, so the one and two is a quadrant and five is a Tooth number in each quadrant. Now we have the chronology that is the first evidence of calcification it is two to Two and a half years then enamel completed at around six to seven years then eruption by 10 to 12 years and root completion by 12 to 14 years and The dimension of tooth it is 8.5 millimeter crown length 14 Root length then mesiodistral diameter of crown is seven and it is five at the cervix and the bucklingle diameter is at eight nine sorry nine and eight at cervix and The mesial curvature line is one mm and the distal one is zero. So we'll start with the buckle aspect So as you see here the outline is almost like a trapezoidal With the mesial outline is slightly convex whereas a distal one is more convex and cusp is shorter one with less pointed and The mesial slope of the cusp is shorter than the distal slope and tip is as you can see here the tip is displaced to the mesial side and The contact areas are at mesial it is at the junction between middle and occlusal one-third and the distal is At the middle of middle one-third and there is a buckle and cervical ridges the cervical line is convex in regard to the root and The root is a single tapering from cervical to apical with a distal curved apex Regarding the lingual aspect the lingual convergence is there and there is reversed outline with respect to mesial and distal and And lingual cusp is sharp and it is almost same length as the buckle cusp now the mesial aspect the Outline is trapezoidal The buckle and lingual are slightly convex and cusps are almost same length and There is greater distance between the cusp which widened the occlusal surface because it is a posterior teeth and the crest of curvature on the buckle side it is at the junction between middle and cervical and On the lingual side it is at the middle of the middle one-third On the buckle side it is at the junction between middle and cervical one-third on the lingual side it is at the middle of middle one-third and The aspect is a little bit convex and smooth with no depressions and Mesial marginal ridge is more Occlusively present than the distal marginal ridge just like any other teeth and the cervical line is concave with respect to the root Regarding the root from the mesial side It is single broad bakulinguli with relatively blunt apex and there is a shallow developmental depression On the distal aspect it is almost similar to the mesial aspect the distal contact area is wider and more cervical And distal marginal ridge is more cervical The straighter cervical line is present compared to the mesial one and there is a deeper developmental depression Whereas the occlusal aspect the oval or round shaped symmetry there is cusps both at the same size with wide distance in between them and Marginal edges, they are thick strong and well developed There is presence of central groove which is shot with multiple Supplemental grooves and there is two triangular foeza which is near to each other Distal triangular foeza is larger than the larger and deeper than mesial triangular foeza Now we need to study the comparison with maxillary first and second primolar on the bakal aspect on the bakal aspect On the mesial side the outline is concave and distal is less concave here Whereas the second primolar mesial is slightly convex and distal is more convex and Mesial slope is larger than the distal one tip is displaced to distal Mesial slope is shorter than the distal tip is displaced to mesial side Contact area on the first primolar mesial just occlusal to the middle of the middle one third and distal at the junction between middle and occlusal one third on the second primolar Mesial at the junction between middle and occlusal one third whereas a distal at the middle of middle one third From the lingual aspect on the first primolar it is shorter than 1 mm Buckle but 1 mm shorter than the buckle one But it is same as the buckle on the second primolar on the first primolar the lingual cusp is sharp although the whole lingual surface is convex and the second primolar the Cusp is sharp On the mesial aspect to regard to first primolar There is canine foeza Mesial marginal developmental groove is there Here the smooth end convex with no depression With regard to root bifurcation level is at mid root Here it is only single and broad root That is developmental depression in both cases On the distal aspect there is no canine foeza here. There is no mesial marginal developmental groove But on the second primolar It is almost similar to mesial aspect to regard to root The bifurcation level at the apical one third on the first and There is deeper developmental depression present on the second primolar and the occlusal aspect first primolar Outline is hexagonal and Second primolar it is more oval or rounded and the cusp buckle and lingual cusp Same in both cases marginal adjusts are thicker ones in second primolar the depression In first primolar we have long central groove here. We have short central groove Then the mesial marginal developmental groove is there There is supplemental Grooves are present on second primolar to triangle foeza In both the cases So that is the comparison between maxillary first and second primolar very commonly asked Short essay the difference between maxillary first and second primolar That's all about The maxillary second primolar next session will be about the maxillary more less That is for second and third molas. So I'll come up with maxillary first molar. Thank you


I don't tend to buy white things because they're so challenging to keep white. In fact, I purposely avoided buying white clothes, sheets, towels, tablecloths, socks, underwear, any type of white fabric really, because I didn't want the trouble of trying to keep it from staining or becoming dull. Bleach is one of the strongest chemical cleaners available on the market and it is an effective tool for helping to whiten clothes. However, it is also a known carcinogen and breathing it in over long periods of time can actually increase your risk of cancer. If bleach comes into contact with skin, it can burn and damage the tissue, and when mixed with certain chemicals, like ammonia, a toxic gas is produced, which can damage the lungs if inhaled and can even be fatal. It wasn't until I started thrifting clothes from secondhand stores that I began purchasing whites again.  I thought seeing as I was wearing whites again, I may as well find some way of keeping them bright and white for longer, and that's how this natural laundry whitening routine came about. So, here is how to whiten your clothes naturally without the need for chemicals like bleach. I pair these natural ingredients with a natural laundry liquid or powder to help clean and disinfect my clothes. Most of these bleach alternatives work best on natural fibres, like cotton or linen, and should only be used on white clothing without prints or other coloured patterns to avoid fading. When washing your whites, use the warm or hot water setting. Just make sure it is safe to use on that particular fabric that you're washing. You can double check by reading the fabric care instructions, then opt for an extra rinse cycle. Really stubborn stains may require another treatment, such as a spot treatment, but most stains should disappear with another wash. Do not put the clothes in the dryer until you're certain that all the stains are gone, otherwise they can bake into the fabric. I start my whitening routine by presoaking my whites and linen in a solution made of one part distilled white vinegar and six parts warm water, which can help naturally brighten your whites in an environmentally friendly and toxin free way. Mix the solution in a tub, sink or washer drum, and completely submerge the clothes before swishing them through the vinegar solution to make certain that all the items are saturated. Let the clothes sit overnight and then wash as normal the following day. Do not be concerned about the vinegar smell as it will fade as the clothes dry. I soaked my clothes again afterwards in a solution of half a cup of borax to one gallon of warm water. I left mine to soak for a few hours to really help remove some tough stains, but you really only need to soak them for at least 30 minutes or more. I finished up by sprinkling half a cup of borax powder at the bottom of my washer drum before adding in the whites. I added my usual laundry powder on top along with half a cup of baking soda, then set my machine to wash on a warm setting. For spot cleaning stains, you can make a paste using baking soda and water and apply it directly to the fabric. This is especially helpful for sweat stains. You can also create a soak by combining a gallon of water with one cup of baking soda and let the clothes soak for at least an hour or overnight. This can help brighten whites that are dull. Once the clothes have finished soaking, you can just wash them as usual. As my washer was filling with water, I added one cup of a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to the water, making sure not to pour any hydrogen peroxide directly onto my clothes as it can bleach and cause spotting. Once my clothes had finished in the washing machine, I hung them up to dry. The best way to ensure your whites stay white is to start a whitening routine straight away and not wait until they become dull or stained to start. This will help maintain their white colour for longer. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you found this video helpful. Let me know if you use any of these ingredients to help whiten your clothes too or if you have any other tips for whitening clothes naturally. I'd love to hear them. I'm sending all my love to you. Take care and I'll see you again soon.


It's the bottom of the 15th inning and they're tied up at zero runs apiece. It's brought to you by DraftKings. It's brought to you by SpongeBob SquarePants. This game was kind of just a drag. No one was scoring. If the Guardians win, they win and the race season is over. Kluber makes his first pitch to the inning and it's about as perfect as he probably could do it, but the ump doesn't give him the call. If you make that pitch with that break on the edge right in the corner. Oh, don't get the call. You get a thing. All right, I'll just throw that same thing again, but I'll put it a little more inside to get the call does that and it gets absolutely smacked. Finally, a run is scored. The Guardians win. These guys weren't watching. They didn't see it. Don't tell people you were watching. You weren't. This guy also wasn't watching, but does such a cool Hollywood. Oh, moved. Look at that. Just top tier shade removal. One of the all time great shade removal home run watches. And then he goes Joker on a Moscow. You guys watch while I walk away. And then never mind. I want to see it too. I'm pretty interested. Uh, yep.  They're going to the DS. They sweep the rays in the wildcard series. Barely any offense. Oh, takes a shot as he round second. The crowd's going crazy in Cleveland. And then this was the bench. You got Willie Benson running to the Gatorade cooler right away. Immediately runs over. Naylor kind of slow rolls over. He's going to run and scream. And he does this move. What is this move? Is this sweep? I've never seen someone do the sweep motion like that. He kind of stops, stands over it. Not sure what that was. Big old left fist pump here. They're running.  They're on the ground. Tito and his coach, great embrace. Double high five into interlocking fingers, staring at each other and shaking. That's beautiful. All right, here comes the Gatorade coolers. He's going to try and switch hands. And it's on the ground. And he looks at it. He's like, oh, no, no. And he's like, whatever. Disappointing, Benson. So he's a lefty. Pivots the left hand to try and get under it. The right hand's not strong enough to support it. And it's down. You got to be better. If you're first to the cooler, you want the job. You got to be up for the task. No one's wet. Everyone should be wet. And now the cooler is on the ground. And I believe our dude, Hedges, is going to get tabletopped by. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I can't believe it. All right, here we go. We got on the bottom left, I think that's Hedges and Maley. Hedges fell from the cooler.  All he wants to do is slap that bald head. That's all J-Ram's doing. All right, Oscar's going to get a water bottle, throwing at him right here. Boom. And then J-Ram just going after that bald head. Give it to me. Give it to me. Taylor's going to come in for the big hug. Jimenez is there. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Can you believe it? Unbelievable. This one was brought to you by DraftKings. I appreciate you, DraftKings. Thank you for sponsoring the breakdown. Good job, The Guardians.

And I just, I couldn't imagine what these people were going through. And, you know, I would lay down in my bed and think they can't lay down in their beds. It, you know, just so devastating that it just really, it really got to me. And so I contacted Chris Preston with the Mountain Grill Experience and Cindy Mae Johnson that's with Mountain Top Media, and was like, hey, well, would you like to do a benefit? And we could have several musicians play on the Mountain Top Media stage and just have something for them, you know. Within just a few days, we had all the spots filled for bands and has some really, really good bands, a great lineup. The event will house two stages, one for bands and one for solo artists, so music will be playing continuously. There will also be a cruise in held by Hillbilly Christmas in July. The price of admission is whatever you can donate. Please come and have fun with this because that's what this night is about. We want to have fun while we're helping people.  The benefit will also host a telethon during the concert which people can call at<PHONE_NUMBER>, as well as auctions and drawings for items including signed to guitars and signed hats. QR codes will be posted around the venue that will give people access to other ways of donating. The concert will be broadcast on the Mountain Top Media radio stations as well as streamed on the Mountain Top TV app and Facebook. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.


The Russia-Ukraine conflict has led to a natural gas supply shortage in European countries, prompting them to restart coal-fired power plants to maintain economic and social operations. However, the uneven distribution of coal resources in the world makes international trade inevitable, forming a coal trade network. When a country's coal exports are limited due to geopolitical factors, it can cause coal supply risks that spread along the trade network, potentially leading to the collapse of the network. The cascading failure model was used to build a crisis propagation model of the coal supply under the Russia-Ukraine conflict, showing that countries with high proportions of coal exports are at risk of becoming abnormal. When the Russian Federation reduced its coal exports by 80%, 23 European countries were the worst affected, and indirect risks spread to other countries. Multiple risks caused some countries to become abnormal, while others were affected by indirect risks. This article was authored by Huihuan, Jingying Zhao, Haibin Liu, and others.

Hello, hello, everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel Laura's Little Library and welcome to today's video Which is a spring cleaning themed book on haul I have been wanting to purge my shelves a little bit because there are books that I am holding on to that I am never gonna read again. I'm never gonna reference in a video and I'm just I don't need them on my shelves I don't want them. They're not books that I enjoyed a lot or they're series that I won't be continuing So I just thought I should probably get rid of these and so I've been thinking a lot about spring lately Even though we're about to have a snowstorm. I thought it would be fun to do a spring cleaning Most of these books will probably be sold to half-priced books and for the arcs or Books that half price books might not want I will be dropping them in free little libraries in my neighborhood So let's get started The first one is going to be alive by Scott Sigler. This is the first in a trilogy I read the first book and I thought it was all right I read the second book and I really didn't like it that much and I tried to read the third and I just couldn't do it So I decided if I can't even finish reading the trilogy Then I shouldn't even own the first book it is a sci-fi trilogy where a main character wakes up in a coffin and Has no memory of who she is where she is kind of what is going on and Then she finds other people and they got to figure out where they are and what they need to do this book I have on my shelf is one that I read way even before I started my YouTube channel and I read it and it was all right and that is criminal by Tara Eland McVoy and This is following a girl who is Dating basically a criminal like she gets caught up in some of the activities that he does and they're not legal and Just kind of like trying to sever that relationship realizing that it's Manipulative and not healthy and I mean the book is all right. I don't really like her characters And I just haven't There's there doesn't need to be a place for it on my shelves. So goodbye Next up is raising dragons by Brian Davis I read this and I thought it was good But I just don't have a lot of motivation to continue with the series and so I won't be keeping it on my shelves and Yeah, it's a series about dragons. It's middle grade I believe this one is the graveyard book by Neil Gaiman, but it's the graphic novel version and it's like library wrapped and I want to own this book in a different format next up this one I went back and forth on so much, but it's somewhere between bitter and sweet by like in the camp and See this book just It missed the mark for me I was so excited to to read it because it's all around food and like she bakes and her parents have a restaurant But she has her own dreams and yeah, like I just it seemed right down my alley like a food-based contemporary romance but sprinkled in with Issues with immigration and scares of being deported and things like that. So just keep that in mind but just It started off alright, but then it just kept getting and I was less interested in getting more annoyed and kind of just like I don't like our love interest and I don't think These characters are making good decisions and it it just it was right on the border of Do I like it enough to keep it or do I know it? And so at this point I think I'm just need to I just need to let it go These next two are definitely going to require a little bit of explanation So the cool prints by Holly black The reason I am getting rid of this is because all of my other Holly black books are hardcover And this is softcover and I've been wanting to kind of put more attention Into my shelves of aesthetics and details and things that make it look nice. So I Have the hardcover now. I purchased the hardcover of this book And I don't need two copies. So I'm just gonna sell the softcover.  I just don't need the softcover and then this next one The round of glass by Sarah J. Mas this one. I'm getting rid of because I bought this individually and then I ended up buying the entire set The entire set and so I don't need two copies of it because it's the same cover. It's the same So I'm just getting it because it is a duplicate book. That's why I'm getting rid of it Don't worry. And then I have where the sidewalk ends by shell Silverstein So this was handed down to me from like my mom or my sister or like someone it was not initially my book I don't care for poetry And I'm just not gonna keep it in all honesty I might just give this to my mom because she has a whole bunch of like baby things Getting ready for grandchildren. And so I might just give this to her to hold on for that Rather than get rid of it. But point is I don't want to own my shelves anymore The final book that I have is sway with the me this is by Said and Masoud and This is an art copy. I actually have the finished copy in hardcover And so I just wanted to get rid of the softcover arc and keep the hardcover finished copy I'm currently reading it. I think it's alright. I don't actually know if I'm gonna keep the hardcover yet I just want to finish reading it and then I'll make that decision So and of course as I continue to read books on my shelves, I'll probably get rid of some more But yeah, those are all the books that I will be doing in this little unhaul Thank you very much for watching if you liked it give it a thumbs up comment down below How often you clean out your shelves and do an unhaul? I I want to do it more often and I want to be more like strict with if I didn't like this book. I Shouldn't keep it or if I'm not gonna read this book. I shouldn't keep it. I think though I've read most of the yeah, I've read All of them except for the poetry book or the the ones I'm getting rid of because of duplicates. So That's pretty good. I would say that's pretty good I've read them all and I'm getting rid of them because I didn't like them because it's honestly Harder for me to get rid of a book that I have read Even if I didn't like it So I want to know how often you go through your shelves and clean them out And are you getting rid of books that you just not gonna read or that you did not like?

So my beautiful people, I am back with another out of the ring video and today guys I showcased you a proper unique dagger, I've barely seen anyone cover, it's a poison rat dagger guys, a scarlet rat poison build up weapon called the Scorpion Stinger. Today I'll showcase you exactly how you get this thing. How's it going guys? My name's DPG and if you do enjoy the video leave me a like, it really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. Okay so, I won't lie to you, daggers I don't really use but I know there are tons and tons of people out there, they definitely do. If I was going to use them, I'd definitely use them as a pair, I think they look absolutely brutal in this way, but hey guys, each let on as you know. So the dagger itself, the Scorpion Stinger scales with strength and dexterity, requires a 6 in that strength and 12 in that dexterity, causes that scarlet rat build up pretty cool guys. It's special attack, it's like a charge parry, nothing fancy, nothing too over the top as we do see. I definitely feel this would be much much better in a pair, it just depends what other daggers you've got to pair it with, I'm currently using the Glintz on Chris which I do like, it's one of my favourite ones, if I was to use a dagger it probably would be this one just because that Glintz on Pebble skill it has on it, if I switch it around you'll see that. So let me just, where are you, where are you, where are you, where are you, there you are, right there, there we go, so as you'll see, boom, that's utterly brutal for stagging and then I can just chop up at the same time guys as you know, as you know what hi, hey, two new game plus guys, go and get two of these things, you can get a second one for a scarlet that build up, if you've got a build that you plan on doing or you have and you're looking for a dagger or this fits that kind of build you have in mind, hey, this one could be for you, okay so it is located down here, down within the Enso River so it's a pretty mission to get to, it's literally located right at the very end here too and I know how many people may not have come down to this area yet and obviously a couple players will have, but for the people that haven't, the best way you can get down to here, there's two ways in which I think would be the easiest way for you, the one would be to do Rani's quest line that starts up here, Rani's rise, the tower and that's early on quest line it can start, the main problem with this one is you have to take out Loretta, which take out Loretta located here and come to Rani's rise, start quest line and eventually guys you will have to use, I think it's one of these towers, I've got a full guide I'll link it down below and you get teleported straight to where we're at right here, the Enso River Main and another way to get to the Enso River Main which I believe the only way can get down to here, is to guys use Nuckron City, so you come through Nuckron City, you actually get to Nuckron City guys by defeating Rodan, so you defeat Rodan, one of the main bosses, everyone knows about him, he probably killed him already and then come to Fort Hight West, make your way down to Nuckron City, I've actually made a video guide on this as well, this exact route which I will suggest you to take, I'll link that down below and it's 13 secrets and hidden paths, just check the timestamps, it will be there, so you come through Nuckron City, take out the mimic tier boss, you then come all this way guys, you have to take out the Gargoyle boss, twin gargoyles who ain't easy, they ain't easy at all, once you do that there is a tomb at the end of the room and you go for that tomb guys and you'll end up right up here, so a great waterfall quest then guys, you come all the way around or all the way down, you go for a tomb right here, that was it right there, it's one of these two, anyway one of these two areas and the tomb you get in and you then as you will come to here, literally there and I'll start that actual process of making my way down to here guys, which I'll see on screen now from this grace point, so yes follow this actual route, I mean you will get a lot of poison rot build up on you, so I suggest you having health potions ready to use if you've got nothing to alleviate that poison rot, there's nothing really you have to fight, I mean once you get down to here, there's a few enemies on the floor here, you can't even pass like I do, just run up and grab the chest and you're good, follow the path I take on screen now, I won't speed it up because it can be a little, if you're new to this area, it can be a little bit of a pain to follow, so yes guys I hope you enjoyed the video, go get this dagger and hopefully people I will see you on that next one
