points on Odyssey, so whenever we get points, we'll upload to Odyssey as well. But for now, YouTube, Bichute and Rumble. And Rumble is giving me a little bit of hiccups, but we'll continue to do what it is that we are doing. Let's get on to a comic book haul. Seven minutes in, right on. Gang, let me tell you what the story behind this comic book haul is. Now, I've mentioned before that I refuse to buy any more comics from any seller in the United States that was using eBay's global shipping program, but I still track auctions, right? So I've seen some books go for prices that would have paid 10 times more to get, but the person was going through eBay's shipping program, so I didn't bid on them, right? But this lot I was tracking and the seller had listed it, and if it was in the US, I would have grabbed it, you know, and he had to make an offer, I would have grabbed it right off the bat. But I was in Canada and he was going through eBay's global shipping program, and I didn't pull the trigger, right? And it didn't sell. And then when it doesn't sell, eBay sends you another notification, hold the line, dodge, dodge to the moon, as Zara says, Zara, how you doing? And I didn't pull the trigger, right? So the guy re-listed it, and they didn't sell again. And the guy re-listed it for the same price. Actually he might have lowered it a little bit, right? So he had some other valiance on there, so I contacted the guy, I said, listen, are you willing to sell the slot without going eBay's global shipping program? And he said, listen, I just want to go through there, it's simpler and stuff like this. I go, dude, you got some other auctions that I want to bid on, but from my experience, eBay's global shipping program doesn't allow you to combine shipping.  He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, I'll combine shipping. I go, look, dude, I don't think eBay's global program allows you to do that. And he said, no, no, no, we can do it, right? Dancing Bijou Chicho, good on you for not supporting the, well, yeah, really. But I did for this one, like crazy, right? Sorry, man, I got to start on eBay and unload some of my books, sorry, famous last words. I might actually list some books on eBay tomorrow. I'll see, I'll see. I was very nice. So I said, okay, man, if you think you can combine shipping, sure, I'll make you an offer. So I made him offer like three different lots, three or four different lots. And I said, this is only on condition that we can combine global shipping, or we can combine shipping, right? And then the guy accepted all my offers. Okay. And then it took a few days from, you know, a couple of days later, you know, I caught up and said, listen, you can send me the invoice anytime you want. I'll pay, I can get this book sent to me. He goes, oh, dude, I'm having a hard time combining shipping. I'm like, dude, I told you, global shipping program doesn't have combined shipping. He goes, oh, I've never seen, I've never encountered this.  I go, dude, that's the reason I don't want to go through global shipping program plus other reasons, right? He goes, and plus this, like really, this box has got holes in it at the back. Take a look. Like it's been punctured in the stomach.  Look, they don't handle the books while and stuff. He goes, look, I understand if you want to cancel your, your, your buys. I said, yeah, man, I'm not gonna, because when it wasn't combined, it was going to cost like $90 US, like $75 plus duties US to get him shipped to me. I'm like, dude, I'm not going to pay that. That's crazy. So he canceled everything. And then he said, listen, why don't I put them all in one lot? Or I might have mentioned that put them all in one lot. I'll buy them. And that's what he did. This lot. Okay. There's probably around 100 books here. And it cost $145 US. Okay. Shipping was $26 US and import charges were around $13 US. So let's say 40. So this lot cost total of $184 US. Okay. That's the story behind this buy. Verdi here, I noticed on eBay when you watch a comic, often they will offer you a better price than the buy now price. Exactly. That's one of the things I've been doing, right? Sometimes you get 25% discount, 5%, 10%, 30% discount. So I'm like, okay, cool.  Damn, it's profanity now.  It's crazy. It's usually a 10% discount. Yeah, the real mic mic. And that's why I'm on Brax, me now to F and also bike. Oh, man, I wish I had some Ethereum Ethereum. Yeah, my bad guys. Thought answer like thought is being checked us out. T H O T was being censored by auto mod.  Like, seriously, what? I don't even know why the hell that what does that mean? Like, my state just started requiring sales tax on it. Yeah, they started a few months ago, which is insane. eBay. So it's making it harder to want to sell there. Plus, their 13% fees have been resorting to other third party services and CGC boards. eBay seller by protection are hard to pass up to. You know what, dirtflug, if you're selling your comics on any other platforms that you think are legit, let us know. Okay, on discord, I might start going on there. Because it's crazy. That Oh, man, I'm gonna look gang, auto mod is zapping a lot of comments. I don't know why. So I'm allowing stuff, but I'm going to crack the baby open. Okay. So much tape on it. It's all bad. Like, take a look at this thing. Let me move my chair back. Take a look at this. Let me correct this open to these don't be damaged. That's all I'm hoping. Right? That's all I'm hoping. What smell comic books. Packaging. Like, look at this packaging. Like this is eBay's global shipping program. I don't know what they do. They open it up and then they put it. The guy must have packaged this nicely. And then eBay's global shipping program just wackled. What is this? I thought those are supposed to be comic books in the world wide open. Here, let me show you this. This is the way eBay's global shipping program works. I'm going to show you this just so you appreciate how horrendous they are. Really. Take a look. Take a look at this. This is the way the comics are. So it's not tight. Like these are flying around, right? What up? That's not the way you have comic books. Like what? That's craziness, right? That's craziness. And that's the reason we don't try not to go through eBay's global shipping program. My God, look at this. Bony stuff. This stuff is the nastiest. This is like, I gotta get rid of this box. I gotta get rid of this box. This is nasty. This is nasty. This is nasty. Let me put these here for now. Like look at this. Like look at this. Right?   And people say why you don't want to go through eBay's global shipping program. Absolutely insane. I probably don't even blame the people working in eBay's warehouse because they're being paid slave wages, right? It's eBay. They're just trying to have another way to make more money. Absolutely horrendous. That said, it was a good deal. Okay? It's the Styrofoam stuff. It's this stuff. It's this Styrofoam stuff that you know they ship electronics in and whatnot. Like crazy stuff. It makes for some good ASMR though. The sounds of it. Okay, let's close this thing off. Let's get rid of this guy. Oh my god. Let's get rid of this. So nasty. So nasty. Let's close this off. No, no. Don't feel bad dragons. It's unfortunate. I wish that we're Pac nicer man. Really? Like why would you do this? Let's put this guy here. Let's put this guy here. Let's put these guys here. They're all in bags and boards so they were protected. Right? Take a look. But that's crazy. I'm going to take a picture of these games.  Yeah, I got to vacuum the whole place up for sure. For sure. Like the cats will eat the stuff up and this area actually we've cordoned off so the cats can't get in here. Right?  Our whole space. So we've got to eat some places about a half, about a third of the house kiddies can't go into. Look at this. I'm just going to take a couple of pictures game just to be on that craziness. But I'm not going to return these. I mean it was a good deal. I'm okay with it. As long as all the books are there I'm okay with it. Right? I wish it was the books were treated better but you know we can't expect everyone treat to treat comic books as a collector. Right? So let's see what we got. Because those books you were out a top five or check this out. Check this out. They arrived today. Right? Now I don't think we're going to have time to look at them today but I'm going to do an unscheduled comic book haul tomorrow. Gang, think about what time you want that comic book haul to be. We can do it in the morning. Okay. Let me know when you guys would be cool with it. Okay. My cats would love that box. They would indeed. Yeah. Does the cat sleep in your room or on their own bed? They have their own bed. They have their own bed. Multiple beds around the house. Awesome stuff. Awesome. I'm hoping it's there. Those are the 13 books we've been waiting for. It's like three months now. Right? Morning works for me. I vote morning. Crack says. Okay. Let me know when at the end of the stream. Let me know when you guys want to do it. So gang, this is what we got here. We got a full run of Bloodshot number one. The first series including the last issues. Supposedly anyway, we're going to take a look at it. Full run of the second Bloodshot series. Okay. We got Quantum and Woody number one. Let me make sure I got the thing here. Number one to three. Okay. So we got Quantum and Woody number one to three. Almost a complete run of Shadowman and Exo for the 2000... for the... I think it's been so long. It's taken a month and a half for this to get there. Right? And because we put all the packages together, he just listed them. He didn't include pictures or anything. Right? So it was hard for me to remember. I forgot to save them. So they were in my watch list. So it should be a near a complete run of Shadowman and a near a complete run of Exo Man of War from the acclaimed series. Right? So I'm pretty psyched for this. I'm pretty psyched for this. I've been chasing the... trying to get the full first series Bloodshot together. But the last issues go for a mint. Right? So obviously these are not going to be in order. Okay? Gunful fighter. Man, I hope it's there. I hope it's there. Let's check these guys out. Oh wow, he's put multiple issues. The guy... he's got how many... Oh nice, here's the Quantum Woody. And the visitor was in this too. Cool. Oh man, I have to crack these open. What? Oh nice. Okay, no, there's these ones. Okay, cool. Let me show you this. Okay, here's Quantum Woody. Man, for some reason these look huge. Nice. And this is the first appearance of Quantum Woody. Sweet, sweet, sweet. And they're in Mylar. Like you put them in Mylar bags. These ones are in Mylar or Mylight. They're in Mylight. So first appearance of Quantum Woody. Fantastic. I got this run, right? We bought it a few... a couple of years ago, I think. Apologies about the lighting gang. So Quantum Woody number one. Quantum Woody number two. Right? Let's see if it's better further out. Quantum Woody number three. And the first appearance of the goat as well. Right? Fantastic. Fantastic. So these, I forget how much he was offering. He put them up, but I made a moffer. He took it. So everything here that you see was a hundred and whatever dollars. And the condition of Quantum Woody number one is pretty sweet. I'm going to crack open Quantum Woody number one. Okay, I just want to check the condition because this is one of the keys in my wallet. And awesome. The guy put them in Mylar. Nice. Nice comic. Very nice. It's got a little bit of break here and a little bit up here, but I would grade this at least a nine. Okay, take a look. That's the back cover. Nine point two minimum. Sharp edges. Nice. Nice. If all the books are in this condition, fantastic. This comic came out in 1998. Let me see. 1997. 1997. Okay. 1997. Yeah, it would have been Turok. Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, for the N64. Turok for the N64. Great game, by the way. Great game. I have this, or I should have this. I've played this anyway. Fantastic. Really happy to have this. I'm going to have to bag and board these. The boards he's got them in are, they're not the acid free boards. Doesn't look like it. So let's put this back. But sweet. That's in, it's in Mylar. I got a comic box here, a short box. So I'm going to start putting things in this. The 13. The 13. Let me put these guys here. And then these ones, I don't have this series. And this is the visitor. Check this out. 23. Yeah, really good condition. Look really good. So I'm not going to crack this open. So this should be the visitor. It looks like it should be 12 comics. It goes up to issue number 12. So I'll show you the covers for these ones. So here's cover of number three. And I don't have this series. Right. Look, I just watched 24. I wish. Here's number five. Right. And I don't have the series. So super happy to get it. Right. Here's number 12. Okay. I'm assuming number one is in here somewhere. This is number 11. Foamy stuff. Here's number seven. That's Ninjak on there. Take a look. And here's number nine. Nice cover. Nice cover. But a valiant published, started publishing in 1990. Right. In 1990, Dragons. And there were some great comics from that period. I forgot the visitor was in there too. Quantum of Woody number one is one of the main key ones. No, no, they went up to, I think they went up to 90, 96 or something and then bought, got bought out, changed their name to a claim. Harbinger. Right. Why does he have harbinger here? Right in the future. This is Ryan, the future force. I don't know why he included this because I didn't really, I didn't bid on this one. I hope a bloodshot is here. Oh my God. If it's not, I'm going to freak. This is right. Number 19. Right. Number 20. Right. This is a cool cover. Right. Number 21. Cool cover. Right. Number 22. I hope bloodshot is in here. Right. Number 24. Right. Number 25. Right. Number 26. And I don't have these later rise. Right. Number 27. I forget how many issues rise goats go still. Right. Number 28. Right. Number 29. And then for some reason he's got a harbinger here. Harbinger number 15. I don't remember this being in the lot. Yeah. You're in February, elder God. Here's right. Number six. And I have this. This is the unity crossover. Right. Number seven. He's thrown in, put in two copies of Ryan, the future force. Number nine. A copy of Ryan, the future force. Number 10. Maybe he's a fan of the channel. Maybe. I don't know. I guess my name is Chicho. So you could have figured it out. This is right. Number 11. Two copies of right. Number 11. Right. Number 12. So this looks like I already have. Right. One, two, five, six, one, two, five. So this is right. Number 12. Right. Number 13. So this looks like a full right run, except for one, two, one, two, five. Right. Number 14. Comic. Sorry. Stuck over the valiant for the impending universe. Maybe. I'm sort of chasing. I don't have the full valiant runs, right? So I'm putting them together. Right. Number 15. Right. Number 16. And I don't have these ones, by the way. And by the way, gang, thank you for the follows. Thank you for the subs. I appreciate them. Right. Number 17. So I think I almost have a full run of right. How far, how high up the right. Go. I can't remember. Right. Number 18. I don't know what the Harvard job was doing in this. So this is a right. 19 to 28, I believe. Right. 19 to 28. This guy's got to go. Well, you want to 40 issues. So 40 issues. So we got it up to 28. Nice. Nice. Check this out. Yeah, baby. Looks beautiful. Looks beautiful.  Volume one. One to 40. Volume three, 93 issues? No, volume two, 93 issues. Oh, that's because of the 2012 real lunch. I'm assuming. Check this out. Let me show you these. And I don't have this. And man, I am crazy happy to now have a complete run of blood. Well, this is number 35. We'll go through it. Hopefully it's going to be, I haven't, the first few issues, a few dozen, two dozen issues and stuff. Or yeah, two dozen, let's say dozen plus. Right. Or let's say dozen. So I'm happy that these are in here. Oops. Sorry. Totally wrong. Well, lots of values. Volume one is 16 issues. Yeah. And I have a volume two, 16 issues. Sorry. So check this out. This is bloodshot number 35. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Bloodshot number 36. Bloodshot number 36. Bloodshot number 37. Hell yeah. And it's supposed to be the second movies coming out as well. They've already approved it. Bloodshot number 38. Gold mine. Hit the jackpot, dude. For the price I paid, it's pretty damn sweet. Bloodshot number 39. Bloodshot is a character I want to get into. But don't know where to Punisher max. I would say start with bloodshot volume one. If you want to start or school, if you want to start new, go to bloodshot. The third volume that was launched in 2012. That was Jeff Lemire. Bloodshot, the third volume from 2012 is brilliant. Fantastic. And then or was that and then bloodshot reborn. Bloodshot reborn is absolutely amazing as well. Thank you, Lord Javier number one. Thank you for the touch prime sub. Bloodshot number 40. Nice cover. Crack. Nice. Did you see a jump in price when the first movie was and now to a certain degree when it came out? But as far as I'm concerned, it's undervalued. Compared to the big two comic books, valiant comics are so undervalued. It's insane. The first movie was quite good after a second watch. Was it Elder God? Nice. This is bloodshot number 41. I've only watched it once. I might watch it again. Bloodshot number 41. Jeff Lemire writes everything. Jeff Lemire is fantastic dragons. My pleasure, Punisher Max. I hope you enjoy the read. Bloodshot from 2012 and then bloodshot reborn is the second series from the relaunch. It picks up from a book of death, I believe. We're really good. This is a beautiful cover. Look at this thing. Bloodshot number 42. Look at that cover.  Yeah, the big two are Marvel and DC. Yeah, void. Big two. Bloodshot number 43. The prices for valiant and old wizard issues were so high indeed. Indeed. Bloodshot number 44. This is a cool cover too. What is that? A bloodshot lady? That looks like a bloodshot lady. Number 44. Ah, go enjoy dinner crack. Bloodshot number 45. Now we're getting into the later issues. The prices on these are getting higher. I think bloodshot number 51 only had 3,500 print run or something. Evening valiant. How are you doing? We got a valiant comic book home. Bloodshot number 46. Elder God. Bloodshot should have been a younger, unknown actor though. But money won the day. Yeah, I agree with you. But Vin Diesel wasn't bad. I like Vin Diesel. And he suited the character, but it should have been an unknown. Bloodshot 47. Sweet. Bloodshot 48. Look at the sweetness. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Bloodshot number 49. And these look like they're in really good condition gang. Bloodshot number 49. Bloodshot number 50. Bloodshot number 50. Bloodshot number 50. Nice cover. Nice cover. Who made these bloodshot covers? I don't know. Tom Ryder, Mark Moratti, Sean Chen, and Tom Ryder. I don't know if Sean Chen would have been the cover artist as well. But they're very nice. Beautiful covers. Like look at that. Nice cover. And one of the holy grills in comics. Bloodshot number 51 baby. You know how long I've been chasing this thing? I lost my opportunity once to buy a graded one at 9.8. That went for like 50 bucks or 70 bucks or something. Bloodshot number 51. Let's crack this baby open. Let's crack this baby open. Let's check it out. Let's check it out. I just want to see the condition. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Let's throw this here. Let me have a sip of tea. Valiance. It's funny turning into these streams now. I always see new names. I like unlike an old timer. It's been like three years since she started. I know a lot of people. Let's take a look at this. Let's take a look at this. Oh, what a beautiful copy. Let's check it out. Okay, it's got dent dent. Not bad. Not bad. Little bit of stress. Not bad. Not bad. We take it. We take it. It's got a little bit of stress there. A little bit there. This would be graded out like a 9.9.2. Let's say 9. I take it. I'm happy with it. It completes. It completes. Right? So take a look. You can see a little bit of... Let me show it to you. So I would grade this as a 9. Okay? Let me see if I can get the lighting on this. So you see the reflection. Let me see. Let's see. Let's see. Can you see the things on there? You can't even see the things on there. Come on. Come on. Can you see it? Can you see it? Maybe this way. Oh, there they are. You see a little bit anyway. It's not much. This one is more. Which one? This one is more. See that? Over here. It's over here. See that? Right? Not bad. We take it. We harsh on the judging. Sit back and enjoy. Oh, and the popcorn. A top fiber. The last the last few issues of bloodshot. They were really low print run. Top fiber. So I believe this one, bloodshot number 51, had 3,500 print run or something like this. I think bloodshot number 50 had around 4,000, 4,500, and then bloodshot number 49 was around 4,500 or something. So they're really low print runs. Right? So just imagine bloodshot, a major character. Right? Movie put out, it's been 20, 30 year comic book character, multiple comics, multiple amazing artists, writers have written, worked on it. Right? There can only be ever 3,500 complete runs. Right? That's the reason. Again, don't forget Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital out as power to humanity. For more information, CR, CR, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist on censor 2 or guruwikileaks.org. They're pretty good shape. Dragons, they're really good shape. Considering they were banging around in this gigantic box. I'm quite happy. I'm quite happy. What's this one? Rye. Rye again. Look at the sweetness. Rye number 10. So these are random. So these are the, I can't look at the description again. This is not even know if these are supposed to be in here. Like I forget what the guy was going to include. Shadow Man and Exo. It was supposed to be Shadow Man and Exo. So we're seeing Rye's here too. Rye number 10. Exo Man of War number 3. This is from the, oh this is still Valiant. Nice. I think he just threw all the Valiants in here for some reason. Unity number 1. Cross over. Oh shooter. This is a claim. So shooter was writing. So check this out. Shooter Starlin and Robinson. Look at that. Shooter Starlin. Wow. I didn't know that. And this is a claim unity. So that's pretty cool. Sean Shen was a Marvel artist shortly after. I remember his Iron Man issues really. Okay. That's an interesting question. Time for first comic to first movie of comic superhero. Yeah. Okay. Let's check this out. Let's check out the rest of these. I got a feeling this guy just threw in whatever Valiants he had or something. So this is unity number 2. Unity 2002 of 6. And again. Shooter and Starlin. And then this is double 2 comics in here. Was this 2 comics as well? No. Unity number 1 was 1 comic. He's got 2 comics in here. I'm going to have to re-bag and board these. I'm going to go to a comic store and get bags and boards. Here's Exo Man of War number 1 from, this should be a claim. Yeah. This is a claim. So this is the 2000 and not 2000. This is late 90s series. Exo Man of War number 1. Exo Man of War number 2. Cool. I have some of these. Exo Man of War number 3. Exo Man of War number 4. Wade. Exo Man of War number 5. This thing says Wade. I wonder if it's Mark Wade. Number 5. Right? It's got Wade down there. I don't know if it's Mark Wade or not. Or the rest Wade as well. Yeah. Yeah. Wade. Wade. Wade. Number 1 doesn't say who it is. But I'm assuming it would be Wade as well. There's number 2 Wade. Yeah. Augustine Eaton and Hudson is Exo number 13. That's a cool cover. Exo number 14. Exo number 15. You're not an Exo fan. Exo is good, man. I like Exo. Oh, the god. Exo number 18. How could you not like a barbarian with a living exoskeleton that is really just a virus that annihilates planets? Exo number 19. I'm not sure how the stories are on these. I haven't read any of these. I don't know which Exo with this one is. There's no number on it. If that's 19, this is probably 20. Okay. There's no number on it. Here's Exo number 6. Cool. I'll hold them closer so you guys see the covers better. Exo number 7. This is very like people are saying image influence, right? After all these years, revenge. Who is this guy? Exo number 8. Exo number 9. So almost a near complete run of Exo. Awesome. Exo number 11. Good comic book haul. Good comic book haul. This is from the 2012 relaunch. It's got to be, but I don't remember this cover. Exo number 3. There was Exo-Manoir PlayStation game around these things. Yeah, I remember those. Okay, let me put these, close these up. Let's see what else we ended up getting. Let's see what else we ended up getting. Do you have a preferred one between the big two? Do I have a preferred one between the big two? Marvel is sort of killing it right now, right? They're doing really good. I sort of treat them the same in a big way. Okay. I don't like the aspect of the Disney part of Marvel. Here's Bloodshot number 16. Bloodshot number 17. These are common. Bloodshot number 18. Bloodshot number 19. Got a complete bloodshot run. Awesome. My parents are sending the comics to me tomorrow with my Death Head 1980s collection. Nice. Bloodshot number 20. Awesome Elder God. Finally. I don't question, but was the Marvel UK imprint used outside the US? Yeah, the characters do appear. I mean, so the main characters of Marvel University appear first in the Marvel UK imprint, right? 21. 22. 23. No, it's not a Rada. 24. What's the oldest comic I own? Into the 1940s. I own comics that are probably late 1940s, mid 1940s. That would be the oldest. Bloodshot number 26. Bloodshot number 27. Oh, this was a crossover with Ninja, because that's Rampage number one of five. Here's Rampage part three of five, but it's bloodshot number 28. And that's would have been with Ninja crossover. Bloodshot in his birthday suit. Nice artwork. Yeah. Bloodshot number 29. And I was lurking. Can you re-show all the other bloodshot? We can't have Barney's. There was a few of them, man. You're gonna have to watch the video. We got these guys to go through. We don't want to lose the light, right? Bloodshot number 30. I'll show 51, 50 and 49 again. Those are really important. Ask the audience on that one. Mine is 1943 comic. Elder God 1943. Yeah, what's the oldest comic you guys have? Bloodshot number 31. Was color printing even a thing back then? I'm a 94 kid. Yeah, they did color printing. It was a different process. So it was offset printing. I believe that's what they call it. 32, 2, 3 sub for anyone who can find bloodshot using iron sights on a scope. Iron sights or a scoop. Sights. What do you mean iron sights or a scoop? Number 33. Look at the eyes on that one. Let me move my fingers. Look at the eyes on the girl's face. Vampire. Oh, not shooting at me from the hip. Things you aim with a firearm. This one I think is fetching a higher price and it looks like it's a great condition. Bloodshot number 34. I think it's the first appearance of this dude. Bloodshot number 35. So that's a complete bloodshot. We need the one and stuff. Check this out. I forget who it was. Can you show the bloodshots again? Weekender Barney's. Here's number 49. Here's number 49. These are sought after. Here's number 50. Sought after very much. And here's number 51. Very much sought after. This is the most sought after bloodshot book actually. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a graded one. But a raw copy is good for me. A complete run is even better. Sweet, sweet. And gang, don't forget. Free Assange, free Assange, free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of the power, capital of power to humanity. For more information see the Julian Assange and Wikileaks playlist as well as Wikileaks.org. Those are 2012 year. No, this bloodshot run is 1990s, mid 1990s, early 1990s to mid 1990s. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, and nice. Complete run of Shadow Man from the 2012 relaunch, including the first appearance of punk mumbo. Damn. I feel like number 50 are so different from the last ones you showed. Yeah, those were earlier. Those were all the way up to 1930s and then 1930s continued and then the style changed, right? The different artists showed up, right? So I don't have these ones. Okay, nice, nice. This is like a mini. Death comes to all. Shadow Man Entities. Oh, sorry. Shadow Man Entities, number one. This is a three issue mini, right? Shadow Man number two, Entities. Shadow Man number three, Entities. I haven't read this one yet. I like Shadow Man. The original Valiant run from the 90s of Shadow Man was fantastic. Shadow Man number zero. Shadow Man number one. This is the first Valiant relaunch series, the 16 issue run, and we got it. Shadow Man number one. Shadow Man number two. Some people didn't like this run. I read it. It wasn't bad. I liked it. There's like three issues in there, phenomenal. Shadow Man number three with Darkseid's daughter and son. Whoa, those issues were phenomenal. Really good. I think that was Shadow Man number 10 and 11 or something. Shadow Man number four, beautiful. Shadow Man number five. I love this cover. This is very, it's sort of a tribute to the Shadow Man series from the 1990s with which issue was this? It was Darkseid and Eternal Warrior, or was it on the Eternal Warrior series? It's a tribute to that in the low tens. Insane art. Beautiful covers. I love this one. This is, it's got to be one of my favorite Valiant covers of relaunch. I like Master Dark. This guy, this character, is one of the greatest evils in comic book. Evil characters in comic book history. Really. Valiant. Look, one thing you can decide on. You can, you can judge a comic book series or a comic book universe not based on their heroes, but based on their villains. And Valiant has some of the most amazing villains ever. Three of them being Master Dark, which is that guy. Harada, which is one of the other villains. And the Eternal Enemy, okay, is another one. Thank you for her follows gang. Okay. And the subs, of course. Shadow Man number seven. Shadow Man number eight. That's Master Dark right there, I believe. Chichou, you can tell me what the book of death was. Like, was it a detailed summarization of certain Valiant comic characters? Yeah, Book of Death was the origin of the Anipada families and the Geomancer. Okay. Number nine. And it kicked into bloodshot. It was an important series. Oh, these two issues are absolutely phenomenal. Right. Like, this starts in this. I might be Shadow Man number nine as well. I can't remember exactly. Look at this cover. What an amazing issue this was. These two. Okay. This is Master Dark's daughter. And you realize how evil Master Dark is in this series. Barreliance. Really. This issue blew me away. Hello. Never been big into comics, but they are really interesting. And Shadow Man number 11, I think goes into this series, the two or three. This issue. Shadow Man number 12. Important, important. Very good. Very good. Let's see if we can get used to you. Shadow Man number 13. Sweet, sweet. First appearance of punk mumbo. Number 13. Very good. Very good indeed. Must read Valiant. Very happy about this. Should we crack this one open gang? Should we see the first appearance of punk mumbo? Let's see if we can find it. I don't know. I think I have this series. Welcome new followers indeed. Let's check this one out. Important book. Another key book. We got runs and key books in this. Very good. As far as great goes out. Great. This is like, let's say 8.59. Okay. And it's a variant cover. I believe if we can find it. Let's see the back. Yeah, yeah. Definitely great. This is a nine. At least a nine. Let's see the first appearance of punk mumbo. We got to find it. We got to look at it. Oh, is that her? Might be her beautiful artwork. Look at this. Look at this. Very nice. Oh snap. Very nice. Very nice. Check this out. Check this out. Very nice. A major character first appearance. Very cool. Happy to get this. Happy to get this. I'm still streaming. Sarge, how are you doing? So Shadowman number 13. Shadowman number 14. Beautiful cover. Beautiful cover. Look at that. Doing good, Sarge. Thank you very much. Initially, we started off being very concerned about this haul and end up loving it. Loving it. Shadowman number 15. And Fasty time. The final horror. Shadowman number 16. So this is a complete run of the Shadowman series from the relaunch from 2012, right? Awesome. Awesome. Very good. Very good. Very good. Very good. So we've got basically a short box. We've got two more to go through. Two more of these bags and I'm going to leave this guy great feedback. Very good feedback. Bloodshot. More bloodshot. Check this out. Bloodshot number four. Oh, this is the second bloodshot series. I forgot we got this one too. Sweet. Oh yeah. Nice. Did you pack them too nicely? I did. You put them two in one, right? So here's bloodshot number one. At least everything is awesome. Mine is the shipping. Mine is the shipping. And the duties. I didn't like paying the duties on it. But bloodshot number one. Bloodshot number four. Like father, like son. Oh, bloodshot number. This one's two. This one's two. Look at this. Bloodshot number two. That's a great cover. Look at that. Awesome. I don't have this, right? So very happy to have the complete run of this. Really? Bloodshot number three. So basically I should have a complete run of everything bloodshot now. Awesome. Almost, I guess. There must be a couple that I'm missing there. Let's make these, keep these in order. Here's this, this, this, this. The cover of the board was incredible. Yeah. This is number one. Here's number five. Heroes. No, this is number seven. You might have seen number five. Here's number six. Here's number seven. That's a weird cover to distinguish, right? Cheecho, can you tell me what the book of death was? Like, was it a detail? So, we can have Barney's. It was basically the origin of the Geomancer and the origin of the Anipata brothers and the origin of the immortal enemy or eternal enemy. I always mix that up. Okay. With, together with, okay, the legends of the Geomancer. Bloodshot number nine. That's what the book of death was and it kicked directly into bloodshot reborn, which is a fantastic series. Elshander seven. Maybe a dumb question, but will you read through all these or is it mostly for collecting? It's mostly for collecting. We will read, we've already read some bloodshot, right? We read the first appearance. We read the Rai number zero. We read the first appearance of Bloodshot, right? We've read the first appearance of Rai, the Eternal Warrior, number 11. Okay. So, we've read some valiant comics. We read, what do you call it? We've read Fall of Harbinger number one. We've read the first appearance of Harbinger with Harbinger number one. We've read Exo Man of War number one. Here's Bloodshot number 13.  Here's Bloodshot number 14. That was number 13. Here's number 14. Here's number 15. Here's number 16. Nice. Here's number five. Remember, at a comic book hall, we just did like a month ago or so. This is the cover I was looking for, right? And I grabbed it for like a dollar or two dollars or something. We just got ourselves another copy. It's sweet. It's a tribute to Nick Fury, Agents of S.H.I.E.L. number one, right? Beautiful cover. I really like this. Who is Bloodshot? Very cool cover. Very cool tribute, right? And here's Bloodshot number 16. And don't forget gang, Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that is being crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capital as power to humanity. For more information, see WikiLeaks.org and our WikiLeaks and Julian Assange playlists. Last bag. Chico, did you watch Bloodshot movie adaptation? If so, did you think it was accurate? I watched it weekend at Barney's. It was okay. It was like a Vin Diesel action movie. Was it accurate? I would have made it a lot better personally, like really. But it had some great moments. It had, it was to a degree true to the origin of Bloodshot. Okay. Yeah. It was just whatever it was. It could have been a lot better, right? And here's the first issues of Bloodshot. Nice. Here is Bloodshot number zero. It's a chrome wraparound cover. So here's Bloodshot number zero, glows, and then it wraps around to the back. Okay. Should I crack it open? Let's crack it open. Let's see in this full glory. Check this out. Some really great stuff in this haul. It makes me happy. Yeah, me too, man. Me too. Wow. This is like so glaring. Look at this. Like foil cover. So shiny. Let me open this up so you can see it. Here's the wraparound cover. Wow. It's like a 3D. Well, not a 3D, but very cool. I got to remember to bring bags and boards to these halls because I'm going to re-bag and board that. Bloodshot number one. Foil cover. Okay. That's tight. Yeah. I haven't read this comic. Bloodshot. Here's another copy of Bloodshot number one. I think everybody that was buying comics during that period has two Bloodshot number ones at least. Me included. This one. This one. Or the previous one. This is a cool cover. And remember, Ripper sent us a tribute to this cover. Wow. No, tribute to Rhyne number one. Rhyne number zero. Here's Bloodshot number two. This stream has got me in a nice, relaxed state. Awesome. I'm going to write my math exam when I'll have this on in the background. Nice. Here's Bloodshot number two again. And I have all these issues. We're going to write a cheat show. Is there such a thing as a comic book with a 10.0? Yeah, there are.   This is Bloodshot number four. I personally wouldn't pay the price for them, but I would sell them for what they're going for. No, the cats are in the other room. Now they're gone. I closed my partner's home, so my partner is with them. And we close the door to this area. Bloodshot number six. And this is the first appearance of Ninjak, by the way. It's common, but it's the first appearance of Ninjak. Right? Like New Meetings number 98 is common. Amazing Spider-Man 361 is common, but New Meetings 98, first appearance of Deadpool goes for hundreds. And first appearance of Carnage Amazing Spider-Man 361 goes for hundreds as well. Right? Oh wow, here's another one. Here's another one. We got two. Do you think you have any 10s? Do I have any 10s? I don't know. Like I don't even know what a 10 is. I really don't know what a 10 is. Like I have no idea. Nice. Bloodshot Last Stand. This one has a low print run as well. Bloodshot Last Stand, I believe. Okay, so this is good. I must have a few 10s. I must. Like I have thousands of comics. Right? I'm in Canada. Here's Bloodshot number one yearbook. Bloodshot number one yearbook. Here is the first full appearance of Ninjak. First appearance on the cover, number seven. This is common as well. Is manga much different to comics? Not really. Manga is, aside from reading it from the other way around. A lot of manga is printed in newsprint and it's a lot cheaper than American comic books. Like price-wise, you get a lot more bang for your money. But no, a lot of, there's lots of comic books, like US comic books that are sort of manga-stylish written. Here's Bloodshot number 10. I don't know how they got number 11. Their level number one would be one. For sure, Harbinger number one would be one. Exo-Man award number one. Magnus solar number one. Shadowman number one. Bloodshot number 12. Bloodshot number 13. And Bloodshot number 14. Look at this.  Oh, here's another one here. Bloodshot number 14. It looks like you were beat up at Christmas time and hung out to dry. Haha. He's got a black eye. Look at that. And Bloodshot number 15. Who's this guy? Oh, this is Bloodshot. He's on fire. Bloodshot number 15. Nice. Oh, I got G.I. Joe number one too. Is my price cash. Yeah, G.I. Joe number one I was happy to get. I got G.I. Joe number one and two. But I don't have G.I. Joe number 21, the silent issue. Man, I could have picked that up for like 30 bucks, like five years ago, six years ago. And I didn't. Now it's going for hundreds. Like if you got G.I. Joe 21, the silent issue, it's going for mint money. I wish I picked it up. Unfortunately, I didn't. Hey, Elijah. Hey, Elijah. Gang, that's our comic we'll call. Oh, kitty cat. Hi, kitty cat. That's got to be via, via, via meows like that. Yeah, yeah. What's up? How you doing? You have one to 30. Awesome. Elder God. Keep it. Check out the price for the silent issue. Gats. And they're supposed to be like, I never got into reading G.I. Joe, but supposedly there's some of amazing comic books written. I wish I got into them at the time, but I just didn't. Right. I wasn't into G.I. Joe. I wasn't into war in that way. Right. And G.I. Joe was very imperialistic war type of thing. So my politics got in the way of me collecting a very key issue. And at some point, I'm going to try to collect them. Hey, there she show pandemic watch. How are you doing? Gang, I hope you enjoyed this comic call. It was a good comic call. Very happy. Very happy. Very, very happy. I think it's time to go play with the kitty cats. Okay, man. Good to see you lonely thingy. Thanks for the stream teacher. Your cat's called to you now. Yeah, they are, they are. These jumped, jumped up to try to take a look at me. Can we see kittens before stream, man? We can borrow these comics. Figure is number nine. Let me do my little outro. No, the kitty cats. He's chilling, man. He's chilling. We got a lot of, a lot of comic book. What do you call it? Not a comic book. We put a fair bit of videos in the last little while with the kitty cats in there. Right. We put a few, a few videos out and there's going to be more coming. They're cute. They're super cute. One video we put out this, I'm putting segments out right now and I'm going to pull out the full video. Most likely tomorrow is like two, an hour and a half of us talking about education and watching the kitty cat sleep. Which is fantastic. Right. And we played with the kitty cats and whatnot.

So now that we're going into week four with Division two to nine and the division as a whole is just starting to work together a lot better. The standard is set and they have to do what they can do to reach the standard and that's helping bring them together as a team. They say that basic training doesn't get better, you get better. I think that's definitely true. When we first pick the division up we can barely get them to stand still and just left the right face. But now coming to week four training they've been marching everywhere, every single day together since the first day we got them. Our progression it's been really cool seeing it and just looking back on our P-Day days and the first day that we tried to start marching and how horrible it looked. And it's kind of like the progression just happened right before our eyes. The transition is night and day. Every time Cadence comes on I'm always in the back screaming and you can hear my voice all the way in the front. The division has come a long way physically but they still have a long way to go. Here at Recruit Training Command we have physical fitness training six days a week. So about three days a week we do some in-house physical fitness activities. Which are a lot of additional jumping jacks, running climbs, different exercises that we can do right here in a small space to get the recruits in better shape. And then four days a week we go over to Freedom Hall where they get to run. So it's all a building block to get them up to the standard that the Navy wants them to be at prior to leaving Recruit Training Command. Yeah I've seen my waistline go down which is awesome. Fitness is going well you know it also helps that we've been put on our faces every day. So I try to think about that when we have to do our little flow kicks and to encounter core builders. So it has certainly improved PZ for sure. From my perspective I do think we are good friends chief. In a professional standpoint yes chief. Professional. Explain to me what professionalism is when you're going out of your way to talk to each other. You're talking to each other in inappropriate places. You're talking to each other when you should not be. So you tell me about professionalism. You better fix your military band right now. I'm sorry chief.  Alright chief. Here's the point. Conversations. Send me a hand. Good friends. Not in my boot camp. Everything that you guys are doing is against good order and discipline. I'm going to ensure that whatever relationship you're trying to have here in Brooklyn. Whether it's just good friends, social buddies or whatever you're working. I'm going to make sure that it doesn't happen here. Do the workout correctly.  One, two, three. One, two, three. Marlin Spike is a huge team evolution. Get up here! Move, move, move! So if a division feels that they operate as a team, they get to Marlin Spike and they find out exactly what real team work is. Learning how to tie a knot and cast off the line and actually tie down the ship I felt like was more practical. Everybody has to be able to get the ship underway. So when it comes down to line handling, when it comes down to that Marlin Spike evolution, they got to work together. Life before Marlin Spike and life after Marlin Spike was night and day. Let's go! We got this! Let's go! So that was really hard but I felt like it made us, it forced us to work together. Every single sailor is a firefighter. Damage control training is extremely important. Everybody has to know it. If they don't have the proper training, then you lose the ship and that's one of the damage control techniques you do not give up the ship. You don't really think about all the things that can happen while you're in the middle of the ocean. You know, your ship going down or being attacked and really all you have is each other and the skills that you learn. Yes, I am. I'm really confident that something was wrong. For example, the conference chamber. This will be the best work day in boot camp. Who y'all? Who y'all? I want everybody to repeat after me.   You would think, okay, so it's this mass that's really going to cover me and keep me alive. It's called confidence chamber for a reason. It gives you the confidence on the equipment of the Navy. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I think on a scale of one to ten, I would have given it like a five. It burns? Oh, it still burns. Like right under my nose, it burns. But I think we sliced it a little bit more than we needed to. I just cried a lot. My eyes were watering, they're still watering. I really didn't call for it. It wasn't that bad as it said it was. You know what? Y'all got confidence in that gear? Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. Y'all see this? That means it's a good day. Good day to be in the Navy. Who y'all Navy? I do believe that they're doing a lot better job getting these recruits a basic knowledge of what they're going to be expected to do once they get out to the fleet. I know when I came to Bootcamp nine years ago, we had a three or four day course on firefighting and then two days on line handling. And now the recruits are getting it every single week once they hit week four until the week they graduate. And I think that will help prepare sailors for the fleet a lot better. One of the primary things that we all do as instructors is we give these recruits the experience, the real life experience. First of all, handling this weapon in an environment that's close to reality. It's not quiet. It's not passive. It's going to take a few years to survive in an environment like this. So that's pretty much what we do. Get a good breath of strength. Point at the target like you mean it. Prepare for the weapon spirit. I didn't miss my target, which was great. So I think I did alright. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed shooting weapons. Since the P-Days to now, they're completely different recruits. Every time we walk past Pearl Harbor, which is where P-Days was, we kind of see through the window the people and their PT and their sweat seats and we're like, man, that was us only a few weeks ago. And that was us looking out the window at some of our senior divs and we're like, man, I wish I was there and they're marching and they have on their uniforms and their flags and that's so cool and we just got here three days ago. They understand that they have to work together as a team. They understand that no one can make it through boot camp completely by themselves. That's the biggest thing and the thing that makes you the most proud as an RDC is when you see them work together as a team, understand each other's weaknesses and really just come together.


Greetings random friends. Today I received a box from HackerBoxes.com which is one of those subscription services where they send you a box every month and it has neat stuff in it. And apparently each box is themed, so this one is called Technodactyl. I have no idea what's inside, so let's find out. Okay, it's some sort of an optical device. I don't know what that is, but it's got a circuit board on the other side. Presumably there is a camera in there maybe? Looks like this. Yeah, I don't know. Let's see, we've got some random breakout boards. This I recognize as I think a basically a spark fun level shifter. I think, yep. So this is a level shifter for shifting between 3 volts and 5 volts. And as I understand it, it's not so great for I squared C. At least it's not like truly bi-directional or maybe it is. I don't know, maybe I'm getting my level shifters backwards. Let's see, we've also got this thing. What is this? Well, it's a USB thing. And I don't know what it is, let's just open it up and find out. Digis spark. Digis spark. Okay. It's a digis spark. Neat. Alright, oh, and we've got another level shifter. We've got some desoldering, desoldering wick. Nice. Something called a nano, yes. So we've got a robot dine nano. What is that? It's basically, I think it's an Arduino nano. Okay. Oh, we've got tweezers. Those are useful. I actually kind of like the tweezers that are bent, but I actually don't have this kind. I might find a use for that. We've got some batteries, coin cells. We've got a USB extender cable. We have a plug. And we've got a chair-borne badge. Okay. Some stickers. Stickers, stickers. Another sticker, hacker boxes. That's going right on my laptop and taking it to work. And the bag that I set aside appears to be the main content. So the idea behind these things is that they give you sort of a random assortment of stuff, and you could build things with it. Kind of like Lego, almost. But there is usually a theme for each box, and presumably that's what this bag is all about. So let's see what's in the bag. Zoom in a little. Oh, and we have a note. Installation instructions of finger spinner. Okay. Interesting. So this is a fidget spinner. There's the bearing. There's the spinny thing itself, and you put LEDs on it. Ah, that's nice. I was actually playing with one of these that I found at the store for like five bucks. And it just had one row of LEDs. And so, you know, you spun it, and of course through persistence of vision, it would display various messages. And it could only display like five different patterns. So I just sort of ripped that out and connected the LEDs to wires, and then, you know, hooked it up to an Arduino and put my own message in there. Of course, the problem is that this was now connected to a huge Arduino with wires. So basically, the only thing I could do was do this with it instead of spin it. So this is actually kind of nice, because I think this is going to be one of a programmable ones. So let's see. So according to this, the chips are not known. They're just called U1. So presumably, not exactly sure what chips these are. Maybe I can pop them under the microscope and see. Well, unfortunately, these chips are completely unlabeled, except on the underside, which I think is just a lot number or a lot code. Let's see. So we've got some LEDs, and we've got some resistors, and we've got some holders for the batteries. And then there is this thing, which is the body of the fidget spinner. And then there's this. So that's interesting. This is all laser cut acrylic. So you could actually build your own if you had a laser cutter. Then, of course, you'd need the printed circuit board here. Let's see. So, yeah, it looks like the two chips go here and here. Are they even connected? They're connected to this button, but they seem to be otherwise completely independent. And if we check out the schematic, we can see that. Their only connection is basically through the button and power and ground. So I kind of suspect that this is one of those pre-programmed ones. There's a website. I can look at the website. Actually, I don't have to look at the website. I can just see over here it says, short-press the switch once to change the display mode, and long-press the switch once to change the displayed image. So presumably that's all you get, just whatever images are pre-programmed into this. Interestingly, this is different from the one that I bought because it's got two rows of LEDs, which is kind of interesting. How would they sync? Yeah, I have no idea how they would synchronize because you wouldn't really want them displaying inconsistent images. Anyway, so there's the bearing, there's the chip, so that's kind of nice. But, you know, I think this is going to be kind of interesting or useful. There's a little quality pass sticker on this for some reason. Oh, that's on some sort of a chip. And then we've got this DigiSpark. So the interesting thing is, could I hook up one of these, say, you know, on the underneath somewhere, or could I just, you know, put my own chip over here? Apparently the LEDs are Charlie Plexed, so you get 12 LEDs per microcontroller. So if you have an 8-pin microcontroller, you can stick that on there. I'm still kind of puzzled as to what this is. Is there even a part number on here? JM101B. Okay, this is actually a fingerprint optical sensor module. So I looked up JM-101B, and after a bunch of jazz-related things, I saw in the image search that there was a picture of this very circuit board. So this very circuit board. So it appears that this is a fingerprint scanner, and that's what this is for. So this plugs in right over here, I think. Pretty sure. No, it actually does not. So this actually does not fit on this. So I'm kind of wondering what this is for, or if it's just, you know, something random. So that's, I think the other thing with these hacker boxes is that they don't give you, like, absolutely everything that you need. So for example, they don't give you a breadboard.  Eventually, you know, you might build up a whole set of things, but, you know, they're not going to include a soldering iron in here. So they kind of assume that you have some of the basic tools. So, you know, that might be the case over here where, you know, they don't really supply this or, you know, or maybe some of these pins aren't actually used and you could just, you know, plug this in. The pin pitch seems correct.  So I'll have to look at the pin diagram. But anyway, you know, apparently it's an optical fingerprint sensor, which is interesting. Okay, well, I guess that's about it. Again, the idea behind these hacker boxes is that they give you a bunch of stuff and you can play with it and see what you can build with it. This hacker box is called Technodactyl. I guess Dactyl must refer to the fingers and this would be the Technodactyl thing, basically a fidget or finger spinner. So that's what that meant. Anyway, that's kind of neat. Tweezer is kind of nice. I could always use more desoldering braid. These batteries are kind of cool. You don't have to use them in the fidget spinner, you know, you can use it for something else. And I got an Arduino Nano and a DigiSpark and a fingerprint sensor and what else did I get?  So that's kind of neat. So again, a random assortment of interesting stuff.


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to New Zor education. I would like to illustrate certain concepts which we were discussing before in the previous lecture actually. We were discussing improper definite integrals and as illustration, I just have a few examples. Maybe I will have more, but at least these four examples for today which basically explain how these improper integrals are supposed to be handled with. Now this lecture is part of the course of advanced mathematics presented on unizor.com for students of high school teenagers in general. I do recommend you to watch this lecture from the website because it has very detailed notes plus many topics on this website have exams, so you can just check yourself how you how you study, how successful you're studying. And the site is completely free, so Alright, so few examples. Integral from 0 to 1, 1 over square root of x dx. Okay, first of all what's improper about this particular integral? Well, let's think about it. As x approaching 0 1 over square root of x obviously goes to infinity. So my function is not contiguous basically on the segment from 0 to 1. As a matter of fact, the graph is at 1, it's equal to 1 and as x is diminishing, since it's denominator, my function is increasing and it's increasing to infinity basically. So the graph is something like this. It's asymptotically goes to y-axis. Now we need to know this area, which seems to be definitely improper, so to speak, right? I'm not I'm not saying it's infinite because maybe it's not infinite since this thing is becoming narrower and narrower it's obviously infinite height, but infinitesimal widths, right? So in this particular case, I mean I know that this is actually the finite area, but we have to prove it somehow. So how do we calculate the value of this particular improper definite integral? Well, first of all, let me start from the definition. What is this? Considering 0 is a point of improperness. Well, this integral is basically a limit integral from a to 1, 1 over square root of x dx, as a goes to 0 if this limit exists, right? So first of all, let's just evaluate this particular integral. How? Well, obviously we have to take the indefinite integral and the derivative of this function and then use the muton label in its formula, right? Now this is basically x to the power of minus one-half, right? Minus because it's denominator and one-half because this is square root. Now indefinite integral of this is x to the power of minus one-half plus one and divided by minus one-half plus one, right? Obviously because derivative of this, when we are taking derivative from a power function, we diminish by one, it's exponent and then it's supposed to be multiplied by this particular power. So that's why I divided to get 0, to get 1, sorry, coefficient of 1. All right, so this is what I have. Well, you can actually say this is minus no, this is plus one-half, right? But we divide to one-half. So it's 2. All right, so it's 2 times x to which power? One-half. Well, plus c obviously, but we don't really care about plus c right now since we will have both limits of integration, they cancel out c. All right, so then we substitute 2 square root of x from 0 to 1. So we are using this formula Newton-Ladies formula. So for 1, we get 2 and for 0 minus we get 0, which is 2. Oh, sorry, to a not to 2. I have already went to a limit minus 2 square root of a, right? Now, as you see, whenever a goes to 0, this thing obviously converges to 2 because this is infinitesimal. So the answer is to... That's it. So what did we do? What's very important? Well, number one, we have expressed this as a proper definite integral by cutting off the point where our function is behaves, right? And then we basically calculated this integral as normal definite integral using indefinite integral and the derivative and the formula Newton-Labnitz. And then we actually went to a limit when the point which we are using to cut off our function goes really to the one which we need, which is 0. So that's basically a typical approach to evaluate these improper integrals. And that's what I will do maybe with a little bit less words for the next examples. Okay, now next example is from 0 to infinity e to the power of minus x dx. It's minus x. Okay. Now, what's improper about this guy? Well, obviously this infinity is improper. Now e to the power of minus x goes like this. This is 1, this is 0, and this is e to the power minus x. So again, we have misbehaving function. Well, because it's an infinity. So again, obviously the traditional approach is not working. And again, we will use this traditional definition of improper integral. So what do we have to cut in this particular case? Well, we have to cut infinity, obviously, to say that this is from 0 to b e to the power of minus x dx. And we have to take the limit of this as b goes to plus infinity. That's what this is by definition, right? So there is no other way to define this particular integral. We cannot use those Riemann sums when I divide the whole area of integration into a certain number of intervals, because it's infinite. We can divide it. All right. Now, this is easy. What is this? Well, let me just preserve this limit and say, okay, I will say what is my indefinite integral from e to the power of minus x? Well, that's, well, e to the power of something, it's usually e to the power of something, right? So in this case, minus x. But if I will differentiate this, I will have e to the power of minus x times derivative of the inner function, which is minus x, and derivative is minus 1. So it will be minus. So to nullify this minus, I have to put this. So this is my indefinite integral, which I have to take in these particular limits. Now the upper limit is minus e to the power of minus b, and the lower limit is minus e to the power of zero. Okay. Well, this is e to the power of zero is one, minus, it's minus one, and minus it's plus one, right? So this is one. Now, how about this piece? Well, as b goes to, sorry, not zero, infinity. As b goes to infinity, minus b goes to obviously minus infinity, which is one over e to very large number. Let's call it capital B. I don't know. Capital B is minus lowercase b. Well, no. Actually, I'm wrong. It's lowercase b. b is a large number. It's plus infinity. Minus b is minus infinity. So this is what we have here. Right? And obviously, if b goes to plus infinity, my denominator goes to infinity, so the whole fraction goes to zero. So this thing is goes to zero as b goes to plus infinity, and what remains is one. So this limit is equal to one, and this is the value of my integral. So again, what was important here? Important to realize where is impropriateness. In this case, that's the infinite right limit of integration. So we have to cut it with b and then take the limit as it goes to plus infinity. Next problem. They're all easy problems, as you see. The most important here is number one, to be able to take indefinite integrals, and obviously my examples are relatively easy, where indefinite integral is kind of obvious. And the second is to be able to take the limit and again, in our cases, the limit was very simple and obvious. So these are just, you know, simple examples. Of the approach rather than attempt to give you some hard time figuring out integrals or whatever. Next. Integral from zero to infinity. Well, when I'm saying infinity, it means plus infinity, obviously. One over one plus x square dx. Well, this is the same type of improper behavior as in the previous example. We have this infinity, which means we have to say that this is, by definition, integral from zero to b, as b goes to infinity of this particular function. So what do we do now? We take an indefinite integral from this function, right? So what's indefinite integral of one over one plus x square? Well, I just happen to remember that this is arc tangent. And we have to take it from zero to b. Okay, remember what arc tangent is? That's an angle. Well, in radians, by the way. Tangent of which is equal to x. So which is equal to limit b goes to infinity. It's arc tangent b minus arc tangent zero. Okay, what is Well, this is a constant. It's independent, right? Of b. So we can write the value of this. So what is the value of arc tangent of zero? It's the angle tangent of which is equal to zero. Well, it's zero, right? Remember what tangent is? Here's my function of the tangent. Minus pi over two and pi over two. So if my tangent is equal to zero, that's an angle zero. So I can just completely wipe it out. That's zero. Okay? Now, how about arc tangent of b if b goes to infinity? Well, let's just draw the graph of arc tangent. We did it many times before. Basically, it's the function which is inverse to this one. So the graph is also inverse. Here, the x have from minus pi over two to pi over two. That's the main angles where arc tangent is defined. So in this case, it would be on the y-axis from pi over two to minus pi over two. And the whole thing will be inverse. So now it's very easy to see where exactly is the angle tangent of which is equal to infinity. Obviously, that's it goes to pi over two. If b goes to infinity, my value arc tangent of b goes to pi over two. Now, you remember the tangent is from from the definition, tangent is of any angle. That's a xy. It's y over x, right? So as my angle is increasing from zero to pi over two, my y-coordinate is increasing to one and my x-coordinate is decreasing to zero, right? And at the pi over two, my x is equal to zero, so tangent is not defined. However, it really goes as the value to infinity as we see as we approach pi over two. So tangent is not defined, but it's limit goes to, well, I shouldn't say limit goes to infinity. It's unlimitedly going to the positive infinity, right? So that's why this particular limit is equal to pi over two. As function goes to, as argument b goes to infinity, value of arc tangent b goes to pi over two. And we are talking about limit in this case. So it's a regular limit. So this is equal to pi over two. And my last example is is more of an exercise for definite integrals than improper definite integrals. Because as we see, we always reduce our problem of taking improper definite integral to basically two things. Number one is to take indefinite integral and number two go to limit, right? So if you know how to do indefinite integrals and you know how to do the limits, that's basically a sufficient condition to understand how definite improper integrals are supposed to be handled. So my function is from one to infinity one over x squared times e to the power of one over x dx. Well, that looks complicated. I mean one over x in the exponent, it's difficult. Plus we have this thing which is messing around. However, we should be really I don't know how should I say it. It goes through all the problems sufficient number of times to recognize that this is one over x and the derivative of one over x is very close to this one, right? Remember? Why? Because again x to the power of minus one, that's what it is. We increase the power we decrease the power, we'll be taking a derivative, we decrease the power by one. So it goes to derivative of this goes to x to the power of minus two and then minus one would be our multiplier. So it's minus one over x squared, right? Now we have x squared. So it's almost minus integral one to infinity e to the power one over x one over x derivative dx. Okay, that's my first transformation. Now, why did they do it? Well, obviously because this is one over x and this is one over x. Now, what is one over x derivative times dx? Well, this is differential of d over one over x, right? Because what is differential of the function? It's a derivative of the function times differential of the argument, right? We basically covered that pretty well before. And why did I do this? Well, now I can very easily do the substitution. So let's do a substitution. t is equal to one over x. What happens? Well, obviously I can say minus integral e to the power of t dt. Now, what's the limit? If x is goes from one to infinity, one over x goes to, if it's one, then it's one. If it's infinity, one over infinity is zero, right? Well, what did I actually kind of cheat it a little bit? Well, I shortened the whole explanation because in theory I should have said that this is equal not exactly to this but to a limit of Let me just do it slightly more. It's b and limit b it goes to infinity, right? Same thing is here because now I have regular integral and I can do whatever I want with it, right? Including the substitution. Now this is better, right? But now you see I should probably put, instead of zero, I should put one over b as b goes to infinity, right? And one over b as b goes to infinity is equal to zero again, obviously. Okay, now what is this integral? Well, it's a very familiar thing. Indefinite integral of e to the power of t is equal to e to the power of t, right? Plus constant c. So basically we have to evaluate this thing which is minus, minus is retained, zero to the power of t, which is indefinite integral from e to the power of t from one to zero. Now, it's kind of unusual to have integration from one to zero and then the minus here. What's probably better is to have the plus here and then from zero to one, right? Remember when we change the order of integration? Same thing here. We change the sign. That's better, right? Remember the property of integral. Integral from a to b is equal to minus integral from b to a, right? Okay, and what is this? Well, e to the power of t when t is equal to one is e minus e to the power of zero, which is one. So this is my answer, e minus one. So it looks a little scary, but you have to recognize two things. Number one, we can simplify it because of this substitution. One over x is a great substitution in this particular case because we recognize it here and here is derivative of it and that's why we converted this integral into this. And everything else is exactly the same, with limits and integration using the indefinite integral and formula Newton-Leibnitz formula. Okay, so these are four very simple examples. Sometimes you have to get a little bit creative when you recognize that something can be done this way. I mean sometimes, yes, integral needs a little bit of creativity. Differentiation is simpler because there are certain known elementary functions and everything else, every other function can actually be represented, usually can be represented as a combination of elementary functions, composition, multiplication, product, etc. So if we know the rules of differentiation and we know what's the derivative of every elementary function, well, including maybe not so elementary like our tangent, for instance. But in any case, all these functions which we are talking about, they are known as far as their derivatives is concerned. So any combination of these functions give us a more complex function. But anyway, how do you define any complex function as some kind of a formula which involves simpler functions? So it's always decipherable in this case and we can always differentiate it. Integration is much more difficult because in integration not every function which can be constructed from elementary function can be integrated in terms of elementary functions. That's what I would like actually to point out. I can have something a little bit more complicated here. For instance, I know 1 plus x, if I will put even that, the function, it's already much more complex and I'm not sure really how to take this integral. You see this particular property of having 1 over x square here and 1 over x there immediately prompts me to use some substitution like this. If it's not like this, well, it needs some creativity, maybe, and even if you are very creative, there is still no guarantee that integral can be expressed in terms of composition of regular functions, right? So that's why there are some maybe problems. In certain cases, when you're trying to integrate some functions, although I'm pretty sure that the functions which you will be given during exams, for instance, to integrate, they are usually the ones which you can really integrate using certain simple methods, like substitution or by parts or something like this. All right, so basically that's it for today. Thank you very much. I do recommend you to go to the website and read all the notes and what probably would be very important for you is just take all these examples, do yourself this integration and see if you come up with the same answers. Very useful. Okay, that's it. Thanks very much and good luck.

Hello there, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with a stock swish and a review in here of the spy. I'll look at the Dow, too. ZSPY. Just want to see here how we closed on Friday. Not as bullish as I would have liked us to close, but there was some negative political news out Friday afternoon, and then the market fell. We looked really nice right up until about lunchtime. Actually, I'll just blow this up in here. In fact, we got over that number of 275, which I wanted to see in the spy, but we didn't close over it. We didn't hold it. And so what does that mean for this week? Market's closed today. What it means is that we need to open tomorrow morning somewhere in anywhere, anywhere at all, in the bar from Friday. Anywhere from the low to the high or above it is good for the market to hold and move higher into this week. However, if we do not do that, which right now they're saying the futures are down, I don't get futures data, but I just got an alert about it. If for some reason we ended, we end up tomorrow morning opening, gapping down from the close on Friday or even under the low from Friday's bar, it's gonna be tough for us to hold. It's gonna be tough for us to hold next week. And again, that does not mean that we're not higher, but I will say I was shocked that the rally that we had last week was so strong. So I'll be even more shocked if we don't open strong on Tuesday morning and go just because the futures are down right now. Next tomorrow morning is a long, long, long time away. So I think that it's gonna be a touch and go this week for the market. Short week and we really did not close as strong as I would have liked to see last week considering the rally that we had in the week. You still have lots of bulls here in this market, but you have some people that now are anticipating the market is going to make another move down and fall and break. And we could come down here if we do and retest it or we could break it. It's more likely though, I gotta be honest with you, if we break again and fall into the rally that happened last week, we won't hold this. I just, we're just not gonna hold this. So I'd rather see the market hold and move higher and do everything it's supposed to do and more. It's gonna be sloppy trading.  So that will not be good. So we're just gonna have to wait and see. I don't know what the market does this week. I think that the rally last week was big and strong and I was surprised that we did it so quickly, but it would have been much, much better for the market to close near the highs on Friday. There was political news which affected the market in the afternoon and it fell, but we do need to open Tuesday and hold anywhere from Friday's low to the high or above. I guess we're gonna wait and see. This is a quick look at the Dow. Same concept here though, the deal. Again, 255, we didn't get over it yet. I said we have to get over the number. 255, we got close, but then the political news fell. 254, 12, close, close, close, but no cigar. So I do not wanna see anything here that drops this week. If we do, we'll be sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, and again, if we come down in this area, we will not hold it. It doesn't mean again, we're not strong. Doesn't mean we're gonna break the trend. Even if we come down and break this pivot, we are still strong, we're still in the uptrend in all the markets. Q's, five, Dow, all of it, but it's gonna mean sloppy trading because you're gonna have the fighting between the bulls and the bears and the bulls and the bears, even though the control is still to the upside. All you have to do is look at this and see. So good luck everyone. If you trade this week, be very, very careful and watch tomorrow morning. I'll be looking at it in the room in the morning. If you're interested in more information and learning how I figure all this out, make the predictions, email me at melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great week everyone.
