Hello and welcome to the session in which you would look at the concept of capitalizing versus expensing. What is the big picture? Well, the big picture is this, when a company spends money, they have to decide whether they will need to expense this expenditure when they incur this cost or whether they need to treat it as an asset. Simply put, if they treat the expenditure, the cost as an asset, the term is called capitalizing, and that's the term of capitalizing, it means treating the cost as an asset. And when the cost is treated as an asset, it goes on the balance sheet and obviously it provides future benefit. That's the concept of capitalizing. Expensing, if we incurred, let's use a number, $5,000. If we expense this $5,000, well, that's expensing, obviously, it goes on the income statement and it affects profit immediately. The profit is affected. So the question becomes, how should we treat this $5,000? Well, this issue arises when it comes to property, print and equipment, subsequent to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. So you do have already a property, plant and equipment on the books, like a building, a machinery, a vehicle, then you incur additional cost. How do you treat this additional cost?  That's the question. Now, a notorious company known for abusing this is a company called WorldCom that no longer exists. They cook the books by $3.5 billion. Simply put, what does that mean? If we're looking at what I'm talking about here, they spent $3.5 billion. They should have expensed this $3.8 billion. What they did is they treat it as an asset. And as a result, they deferred the profit. And as a result, they reduced their expenses by $3.8 billion. So this company is known for abusing the rules for capitalizing versus expensing. Now, when do we capitalize? When do we expense? Let's look at the rules a little bit more specifically. If the expenditure provides greater future benefit, future value, so the cost we are incurring, it's improving the life of the asset. It's increased the life of the asset or increase the quality of the product or enhance the quality. If it meets any of these criteria, we are going to capitalize the expenditure. If the expenditure maintain a given level of service or maintain the operating condition of the asset, for example, looking at a car, for example, you need to change your oil on regular basis. You need to change your brakes on regular basis. You need to change your tires on regular basis. So what do you do with all these expenditure? Let's assume it's a delivery truck.  Well, all these are expense because they are maintaining the operating condition of the truck. Let's assume on the other side what you did is you added a lift, add a lift to the asset, to the truck. Now the truck can deliver more, can lift more units. Why? Because it has this additional feature, a lift. Maybe it's going to enhance the quality of the service. Well, as a result, we will capitalize the lift. However, any expense to maintain the truck normal operating condition is considered an expense. Now this concept is easy to learn in the real world. I'm sorry, on the contrary, easy to learn on the books. It's not clear cut in the real world. In the real world, what happened, a lot of companies, they have a policy. For example, any amount below, depending on the size of the company, any amount below 10,000, they will always expense it. Okay, they will have a policy like this. And any amount above 10,000, we will determine whether it's expense or capitalize. Again, depending on the size of the company, maybe it could be $500 or whatever that amount is. So the point is in the real world, you have many, many situations where it's not clear cut. This topic is covered in intermediate accounting as well as the CPA exam. Whether you are an accounting student or a CPA candidate, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website, farhatlectures.com. I don't replace your CPA review course, I'm a useful addition to your CPA review course. I explain the material differently. I explain the concept. I explain the theory behind the concept. And as a result, I can help you understand the material better. Your risk is one month of subscription. Give it a try. If you like it, you keep it. If not, well, that's your risk. And that's your return. But the risk return is pretty straightforward. I can help you add 10 to 15 points on your CPA exam. If not for anything, take a look at my website to find out how well or not well your University of the Wing on the CPA exam. This is a list of all my courses that I have, including lectures, multiple choice through false questions. My CPA supplemental material are lined with your Becker, Wiley, Roger, Gleam. I also provide you access to all the AI CPA previously released questions, almost 1500 questions with detailed solution. If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so. Take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation, like this recording, share it with other, connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Let's take a look into the different types of expenditures. Let's dig a little bit deeper into this. Well, we have repairs. Under repairs, we have ordinary repairs and major repairs. When the question says it's an ordinary repair, it means expensive. It means it's maintaining the current operating cycle of the asset. So ordinary repair are expensive. Ordinary, sometimes they call them minor. Minor or ordinary, basically the same thing. If the repair is considered major, and a major repair could be something like an addition, like, for example, adding an air conditioning system to an office building, improvement, for example, replacing your concrete floor with a wooden floor, or reconsider the replacement, for example, replacing the pipes in the plumbing system from ironing to plastic. Those are considered major and for major, we capitalize. We treat them as an asset. Now, how do we treat them? We capitalize them. We don't expense them. So how do we do so? Well, if the carrying value is known, if the carrying, for example, if the carrying value of the improvement or the replacement is known, because we are replacing the wooden floor, if the carrying value is known, we remove the old asset, remove its accumulated depreciation, recognize again or a loss. Usually, for example, maybe the pipes, what we have sometimes called something called cost segregation. So on a building, they account for the pipes separately from the building. This is called cost segregation. If that's known, if it's known, you remove the old asset and you replace it with the new one. So we have again and a loss. If the carrying value is unknown and the life of the asset is extended, if the life is extended, but the carrying value is unknown, we debit accumulated depreciation of the main asset, which is reducing what we do is we reduce accumulated depreciation, because remember, accumulated depreciation has a credit balance. We're going to remove it. We're going to kind of reduce the not remove it, reduce accumulated depreciation and credit, whatever we spend, money, material, whatever we spend, that's the corresponding credit. If the quality and quantity is enhanced, we debit the assets of who are dealing with the building, we increase the asset itself, increase the asset itself. Those are specific rules. Sometime what happened, the company have rearrangement or reinstallation of certain assets. For example, movement of a machine from one location to another to facilitate greater future production. And this happened in manufacturing facility. If you're going to enter expenditure, if the amount of the expenditure is immaterial, you expense it, or it cannot be separated from regular operating cycle at six months. But if the rearrangement and the reinstallation is considered material, and it's providing greater future production capacity, then those arrangements are capitalized. As I said at the beginning, this is easy to learn in a classroom for the CPA exam. But in the real world, it's much easier to apply. I would like to invite you. The best way to learn this is, again, to go to my website, farhatlectures.com and work multiple choice and examples to further solidify this concept. Again, on my website, I don't replace your CPA review course. If you decided to subscribe, I enhance it, like enhancing, giving you better value of your CPA review course. I'm a useful addition to your CPA review course. I don't replace your accounting course. I make your accounting course much better, much easier to understand. Again, your risk is one month of subscription. Give it a try. Your CPA exam is a lifetime investment. Don't shortchange yourself. Throw everything in it, add it, put it behind you, focus on your career. Good luck, and it's worth it.


Hello, and welcome to this screencast on section 9.5, Lines and Planes in Space. This screencast is going to cover lines in space. You're likely familiar with the slope intercept definition of a line. This definition works for two dimensions. We'd like to extend the definition of a line to three or higher dimensions, however, the notion of slope, often referred to as rise over run, isn't well defined for three or higher dimensions. Since the slope tells us the direction of a line, an alternate way to think about slope is using a vector, since vectors tell us a direction. Points on the line can then be described by the sum of two vectors. The first vector traveling from the origin to some point P, and the second vector traveling along some scalar multiple of the vector V, which tells us the direction of the line. This idea leads to a new definition of a line. A line in space is the set of terminal points of vectors emanating from some given point P that are parallel to a fixed vector V. The vector form of a line through a point P in the direction of the vector V is given by the following expression, which is a sum of two vectors, as we saw in the last slide. The first vector is a vector from the origin to some point P on the line. The second is a scalar multiple of the vector V. The vector V is often referred to as the direction vector of a line. And I want to note here that this definition works for any point P on the line, not just the y-intercept as the previous slide suggested. Shown here is an example of a line, the vector definition of a line, that we can reach any point on this line by first traveling from the origin to the point P, then traveling along a scalar multiple of the vector V. We can reach points anywhere on this line by choosing the value of the scalar T appropriately. These pictures here show how three different values of the scalar T puts us at different points along the line. Thus far, this has all been pictured in two dimensions, but all of these ideas extend to three dimensions or higher. We now wish to look at an alternate way to define a line in space. Consider the vector form of a line R of T in three space through the point P with coordinates x-naught, y-naught, and z-naught, with direction vector V that has components a, b, and c. Using vector addition, we can use the coordinates from the point P and the components of the vector V to describe the line in terms of a single vector. And from this last vector that we have here, we get three equations that describe the x, y, and z-coordinates of points on the line in terms of the variable T. These equations are called the parametric equations of a line. The variable T represents an arbitrary scalar that is called the parameter. Note that there are many different parametric equations for the same line. For example, we could choose another point P on the line, or we could choose a different direction vector, and these would produce another set of parametric equations that describe the same line. It will sometimes be useful to think of T as a time parameter in the parametric equations as telling us where we are on the line at each time. In this way, the parametric equations describe a particular walk along the line of which there are many different ways that we could walk a line.


Live from Nashville, Tennessee, it's theCUBE.  Welcome back to Nashville, Tennessee. You're watching theCUBE at Commvault Go. I'm Stu Miniman with my co-host Keith Townsend. Happy to welcome to the program, Lance Shaw, who's the Director of Solutions Marketing at Commvault. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you so much, glad to be here. All right, so we've been having a great day here. We're talking to some of your partners, we're talking to some of your customers. Solutions Marketing, of course, everything's a solution these days. That's what we're looking for. Tell us a little bit about your background and what you do at Commvault. Absolutely, right? So I came from a product management and product marketing background. And one of the things that we're really focused on here at this show, of course, is all about, is customers and what their stories are. And frankly, how we can improve our products and our solutions to better meet the needs of the customers, right? That's ultimately what it all comes down to. And so, you know, that's why we're here. That's the whole reason for the show. I think what's been interesting so far at this show has been the focus on not only just cloud utilization, but the fact that customers are having to deal with multiple clouds. And the fact that, and why they have to do that. And there's a variety of reasons that drive people to say, well, you know, maybe five years ago, you would have said, are you using the cloud? Yeah, I've got one cloud provider, but now I've got lots. Yeah, and Lance, I'd love to hear what you're hearing from customers. Because one of the things you talk to the customers and they're like, oh, they have a multi-cloud strategy. And when you dig in, first of all, every customer has a totally different environment. And it reminds me, I spent the last like two decades trying to help customers get out of their silos. And in some ways I'm a little worried that we've just created a whole bunch of new silos that just don't happen to live in my data center and we called it multi-cloud.  So tell me we've got it all figured out. Customers, they have a good strategy. They're really sharp as to where they're going and the future is bright. Absolutely. Now the reality of that is that in fact, you're absolutely right. Unwittingly or unknowingly, we've gone back to a path of history repeating itself where I'm creating new silos of information and data. So you're absolutely right. Organizations start out with a point solution for a particular application or a particular data set or they acquired a company and so they brought in this new thing and pretty soon, I have no idea what I've got in the Singapore office versus the London office versus New York, right? So, and how do I reconcile that and bring it back together? So I've got that same old problem that if you've been around in the industry for a few years, we saw, you know, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, I've got to bring my silos of information together. And so, yeah, you're right. It's suddenly a new, the same old challenge all over again, right? So, and that's why it's become a focus area because I suddenly have fragmented, you know, disconnected application and data silos. So that's really where Commvault turns out can really help because sometimes it's a matter of consolidation. You know what, I need to get down from three locations to two or four to one or whatever the case may be, some sort of consolidation. And usually there's some sort of cost savings involved there or it's, you know, I've got these multiple solutions that are out there and I've got no control and I have no visibility and I know I'm exposed. So I've got a risk factor now that I didn't have before. So when you start to blend all those together, you're absolutely right. It's the same old story again, right? So industry versus vertical versus use case, you've given us a couple of different use cases, reducing costs, consolidation, even multi-clouding itself is a use case. But if you're an enterprise software company, if you're an enterprise IT company, you're challenged as you talk to different industries about specific solutions. You got to tailor solutions to industries. Talk about some of the industries that Commvault has come to solve specific problems for. Right, well I think, you know, there's a lot to be honest, right? Because every company faces those set of challenges. I think where it gets really interesting is in highly regulated industries, right? So you think about biopharmaceuticals, you think about financial services, and certainly in the government space, in the federal space. And they have a whole set of unique challenges there because you're dealing with top secret clouds and you're dealing with some special concerns there. I think where it gets of particular interest is when I've got all those fragmented or disconnected silos, is that I need to address my compliance concerns. I need to understand the data for more than just is it protected and could I recover it in a specific amount of time? I actually need to be able to show that I have it and prove that what I've got and be able to address specific industry regulations that are unique to my particular industry. So that's where we start to see very specific use cases that kind of get down from the generic or the general down to the very specific, how do I manage this data and how do I understand what I have? And then of course you get into, can you prove what you've got? Can you go out and retrieve it? And there's all sort of regulations along that that I've got to adhere to. But that can be addressed once I have that full index and understanding what my environment's like. Now I can go out and locate that information. I can retrieve it when I need to and actually open it up from a persona based access perspective, let specific people in an organization have access just to the limited data sets that they need. So that comes into play a lot, especially for example, every organization, you've got database admins, you've got critical Tier Zero applications that you need to manage, it's your CRM system, it's your supply chain management system. If it goes down, people freak out. And I want to be able to provide self-service access to information for those people. So I've got a well managed understanding of my environment, but then I'm able to dole out access to the individuals that need it when they need it. And they don't have to come ask us or ask IT or ask anybody else for that information. Yeah, Lance, as we watch the companies really understand that data is very valuable. We have a transition that's going on. Traditional customer for Commvault, you're talking about things like RPO and RTO and the like, and you've got the admins of the world trying to figure out how they do their jobs and things like, okay, backup windows of the past versus recovery and all those moving pieces. As opposed to today, you talk about the value of data. These are board level discussions. You've got the C-suite that you're working with. We've talked to a few of your teams about, well, you've got the top down and the bottom up. How are you helping them? What conversations do you have with them? They are entirely different conversations, right? IT is serving the business, as we all know, right? You know, maybe a bit cliche, sorry. Hopefully if they're doing their job right, they're responding to and actually doing their job. Why am I here? Oh, that's right, to serve the business. Let's try that. So anyway, there's that delivery of data, but you're absolutely right. The utilization of data and how it's consumed and the understanding that I can get from it, that is an entirely different conversation. And you're right, it is out of, there's a, well, it's a business unit discussion. It's a line of business discussion at the very least, and it's probably a senior executive discussion because with that additional visibility, I am then able to make much better, at least theoretically, better business decisions and because I've got more information to draw from. So you're right, in terms of the conversation, we're not talking about strictly data protection. It's like, yes, when your data is understood, here's what else you can do with it. And then you got to tailor that to the specific industry, specific vertical, more or more specific to that particular conversation. So Lance, give us a feel for that conversation that's happening here at Commvault Go. 2,000 people, over 150 sessions, education, focus event, and there's different personas. I like to focus on that executive persona a little bit. I got you in front of the SVP of some group, the CDO, what's the Commvault story? Why Commvault over any other data protection company? I like to think of it as the proverbial killing two birds with one stone, right? So is my data growing? Oh yeah, you're never going to hear someone say, you know data is shrinking, I have less to worry about. I mean, I've been in the industry a couple years now, give or take, and it's just never going to happen, right? And so you don't have to worry about, with that in mind, the need to be able to have visibility is continuing to increase. So you see the rise of a chief data officer and what are they concerned about? They're concerned about utilizing data in ways that they were previously never able to do. And so when we have those conversations, it's one of, if I'm going to kill two birds with one stone, I'm going to be able to not only protect my data, but I'm going to give you additional visibility that you didn't have before, because I'm providing you visibility into all of that secondary data and application protection, and I'm allowing you to be ultimately more flexible, because now you're able to actually move data where you need it. And expand your data center in ways that you previously could not. So I want to move from one cloud to the other, no problem, I can do that. I want to finally get off of tape and do, you know, consolidate my environments and move either to on-premises environment or to the cloud, not a problem. I can come back, we see customers that are coming back to on-premises from cloud in some cases, just for particular use cases. So the conversations that we have with a CDO, we'll just stick with the CDO as an example, are around better utilization of the data and better risk mitigation around that data, right? So I've had a number of conversations related to that where we're concerned about not, you know, everybody talks about ransomware, but in general attacks on the business, and it's not if it's when, so how do I make sure that I can keep my business up and running? And so it's that broader perspective that you have around how I manage data and how I deliver it to the business, that's what they care about, right? That's great that you protect it by the way, that's sort of important too. But what I can do with it and how I deliver it to my lines of business, that's where the interest starts to lie in a CDO level conversation. Yeah, Lance, one of the things everybody loves coming to a show like this, you get some of those great user stories. This morning we had the state of Colorado on talking about how they're recovering from ransomware. We had American Pacific Mortgage on talking about just the scale. You talk about the growing data and how, you know, using Commvault, they're able to manage that much better. Any other specific examples of kind of interesting use cases or good customer stories? Yeah, I think we recently had a very large customer that was looking to consolidate their environment. It's a classic case of, I've got offices spread around the world and they had a number of different point solutions, right? So it's a, you know, without naming names, I've got different protection solutions to different areas. I've got different administrators. I've got different policies and, you know, they hit a scenario where they were exposed from a risk perspective. That particular set of data was not covered as they thought it was because they didn't have standardization of policies or standardized policies, I should say, around how they manage access and the retention of that data. And so that, sometimes there's that forcing event that says, okay, we have a problem here. We need to do something about this, all right? So in their case, they were able to consolidate from multiple solutions down to Commvault where they could have a predefined set of policies in place around the data, not only for what they were gathering in. So as they ingested it or as they moved data under Commvault's management, you know, they were able to automatically assign policies to that. But then in their case, they were also acquiring other companies, right? So, and they were acquiring a rather large European entity and when they were bringing that organization in, they wanted to make sure that they did so in a way that didn't expose them to risk again in the future because they'd say, if we're going to grow as a business with an acquisition strategy, we've got to be able to make sure that what comes into the organization is consistent. So, big partner presence here. The Commvault has been pretty direct and forward talking about how you're shifting from a direct sales model and having going through partners to help provide the solutions to these challenges. Talk through, how do you enable partners or how do you encourage partners? This is a crowded market. There's a lot of investment in the area of data protection. How do you rise to the top of the partner list and for partners putting your solution in front of customers? Right, there's two ways we do that, right? So, because you're absolutely right, partners are key to our growth and we can be key to their growth and success. No doubt about it. So, the first thing is give them something that's going to really make them successful. So, instead of, if I'm a partner, I don't want to come in with, I want the flexibility to be able to address a wider variety of demands. I want to be able to go in to a potential prospect and say, yeah, I can address this, but also I have the software behind the scenes, Commvault, to be able to attack multiple other scenarios for you. Oh, and by the way, it's all in one and you've got one solution to be able to address all that. So, one of the key ways that we differentiate in your right, in a very crowded market, right?  If you're going in and seeing scenarios where a point solution simply doesn't do it or it paints you into a corner where you're not going to be able to help them grow down in the future. Because the other thing partners obviously want as every business wants is repeat business. I want to be able to go back in and expand. I want to, you know, build my footprint out. And if I can go in with a partner that enables me to do that, then I've got long-term opportunity versus just going in, hey, I made a quick sale and I'm out and, you know, good luck to you, right? All right, last thing I want to ask you, last year GDPR was the, you know, the talk of every single show. Yeah, I seem to have heard about that, yeah. We got a good education. My boss actually read through the entire specs. I read the Cliff Notes version. Okay, yeah. And talked to a lot of smart people about it. California's looking at some new legislation, but what's the latest on that? It seems like, you know, I mean, some of the lawsuits already happened to get some of the biggest companies in Europe, you know, from a technology standpoint, but what are you hearing and how does CommVelt help customers understand kind of today and future legislation? Yeah, I think, you know, what's interesting, we, when we looked at, you know, everybody was kind of marching up to the GDPR date as if it was Y2K all over again, right? And not that I remember that, of course, since too young for that. But, you know, it was like, oh, May 25th, May 25th, the sky's going to fall. And we all knew that, hey, listen, that day's going to come and go. And, you know, somebody's going to be made an example of it at some point, right? And sure enough, that's starting to happen. And, you know, it's a good thing. It's building the awareness that, you know, we try to educate people, try to get the word out. You know, it happens longer than, way past May 25th, it's still going on, right? So, for a lot of customers that we're talking to, they're looking to, they've had a plan in place and they're moving there gradually. It wasn't, you know, right away, but I think sometimes when you see those things in the press about there's actually being a fine, it's actually real, and it brings it to life, like, ah, we should really do something here, right? So, I think, honestly, that's a process that's going to continue for years. You know, I've heard everything from, we'll just pay the fine, which, you know, is a risky strategy, both probably, you know, on a personal level, as well as professional, like, you wouldn't want to bet your career on that strategy, and, but you know, with the advent of, we also always knew that, hey, GDPR is one of these set of regulations, there will be others, there are others, and you have to be able to adhere to those no matter where you live on the earth.  We help customers understand their data. So, you know, through our Commvault Activate product, we can do it, even if you don't, even if you're not using Commvault for backup and recovery, you're actually able to go out and scan your environment and get a better understanding of what personal information you've got under Lock and Key, what you've got in your environment, and be able to ascertain, well, okay, now, where's my risk, where am I exposed, and then I can start to put a plan in place to mitigate that. So, I think it'll be going on for quite some time in terms of, especially as new laws, like the California law, I always forget what that's, I always forget the letters and numbers associated with it, but it's the same idea around personal privacy, and I think, you know, with, you know, we've had the Patriot Act for a long time, right, where foreign governments are concerned about data sovereignty and where data lives, and that's going to continue to increase for, you know, for a variety of reasons. So, organizations have to really know where their data is and what's encapsulated within that data, and that's where the Commvault data platform, and the index actually shines and does very well to uncover that information. All right, well, Lanshaw, I really appreciate you sharing with us where your customers are and a lot of these really important issues. For Keith Townsend, I'm Stu Miniman, and we'll be back with more coverage here from Commvault Go in Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks for watching theCUBE.


Should Christians cuss? Some people say that they're just words, that they have no real power, and that there's no real evil within them, so it's okay. Others might address the heart issue saying that any word that is spoken can be wrong if it's spoken out of anger or pride. Here's what the Bible says. But now you must put them all away. Anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Colossians 3-8. When I was a teenager, I discovered something pretty cool. I was on a basketball team where cussing was the norm, and I just had decided before the season that I wasn't going to do that as part of my witness. Obviously, I'm nowhere near perfect, but that intentional decision to not cuss during practice or at games led to opportunities where I was able to speak to my teammates about why that is and about Jesus. All that to say, a word may be a word, but what I'd ask you is what is your intent behind it, and how does it affect your Christian witness? Those are serious and important questions that you need to take into account when you're discerning this issue. Follow for more Christ-centered content and help support my ministry on Patreon.


Ukrainian servicemen shot down Russia's famed Ka-52 attack helicopter that's according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our soldiers destroyed yet another costly Ka-52 attack helicopter also known as Alligator reads a Facebook posting by the General Staff press office. The update did not specify where on the frontline Ukrainian forces took out the helicopter. The Ka-52 helicopter can hold two pilots and is used by Russian forces in both reconnaissance missions and combat operations. The Ka-52 can execute any combat tasks with high efficiency according to Russian state military exporter Rosa Boron export. It's designed to destroy tanks, military vehicles, aircraft and manpower including on the front lines.


to Germany from Alaska to Puerto Rico all over the world the United States Army is on the alert to defend our country you the American people against aggression this is the big picture an official television report to the nation from the United States Army now to show you part of the big picture here is Sergeant Stuart Queen Japan is the key to the fate of the Far East once again for the second time in the March of Modern History those words have urgent reality but now there is a difference in their meaning the United States Army has come to know Japan well in recent years in war in occupation and finally in partnership in the record of that relationship there can be found the changing symbol of Japan's place in the Far East once it was a symbol of destruction today we look upon it with hope as a symbol of stability Iratia imaso that means welcome home in Japanese to these American soldiers after a tour of duty in Korea they are returning to their base in Japan where once a short time before they were stationed as occupation troops and how do they return how are they received by the people whose land they occupy not as overlords not as antagonists not as men who are distressed it and feared and presented but as friends the military occupation of Japan is long since over now but this is its fruit it was an occupation without precedent in the history of the Orient and its results are likewise unparalleled a strong active friendship grows out of old enmities a bond of mutual trust and goodwill ties together the people who once were the victors and those who were the vanquished Iratia imaso said with warmth and feeling it is a welcome that would thrill any soldier it's a different kind of reception from the fall of 1945 when the Americans marched through the streets of Japan while the Japanese people huddled silent and frightened by their bombed-out houses there were no cries then of welcome on their lips and in their faces there was no sign of friendship only fear and apprehension how could this picture change so completely in a few years time what accounts for the difference it is the difference between this which was Japan at the end of the war a defeated nation lying in ruins its land gutted and scarred many of its old modes of life uprooted hundreds of thousands of its people lost a nation without hope bewildered and confused and this the Japan which stands today a nation rebuilt after the years of American occupation rededicated to democratic pursuits and realigned in friendship with the West this is particularly important to the free world today because again Japan's future is the key to the future of the entire far East during the years of Japan's struggle for new life the menace of Soviet aggression began to spread over the Orient the Russians would like to include Japan in their orbit because of its location and its industrial capacity and if they were able to take over Japan they would soon be able to control all Asia toward this end the communists in Japan have employed their usual tools of dissension and discord the communists here are not strong but they are noisy they have tried to undermine Japan's security by promoting hatred of Americans their campaign has harvested violence bitter demonstrations of mob passion whose purpose was to drive a wedge between the Japanese and American people but in spite of the most serious efforts of the communists Japan's ties with the United States remains strong those ties made of respect and trust and cooperation started building immediately in the occupation when the Japanese first met the American forces and learned their purpose they found that instead of coming as conquering masters to their homeland the Americans came instead as friends to help the Japanese clear new paths toward peace and prosperity to the Herculean task of rebuilding their devastated nation the Japanese people themselves brought their native gifts of diligence industriousness and persistence with a devotion that matched that of any people in the world's history they labored hard to remove the evidences of war from their beloved land who aid them in this task the United States brought assistance and encouragement Japan's new constitution compiled under American guidance led the framework for democracy it gave the people the right to exercise their sovereignty through their elected representatives as a result the phenomenon of free elections a condition which Americans accept as casually as they accept the air they breathe began to appear for the first time in Japan's long history political parties sprang up and campaigned for their candidates in the free swinging style of a democracy women were given the right to vote Japan's new constitution brought other changes civil liberties were guaranteed for all persons men and women rich and poor the press had always been a tightly controlled voice of the state in Japan the militarist government before the war had used it to keep the people deluded and submissive under the occupation the press was made free and with freedom of the press came the other great freedoms of democracy freedom of speech and freedom of assembly democracy was new and strange to the Japanese people but they responded to its exhilarating effects with seriousness and responsibility another great reform brought by the occupation was the redistribution of farmland at the end of the war two-thirds of Japan's farmers were tenants working land not their own for only a small share of the crop today as a result of the land reform program brought about in the occupation 90% of Japan's farmers have a piece of land of their own the total amount of arable land in Japan is small the average farm is only two and a half acres compared to 155 in the United States because of this the average Japanese farmer is not wealthy but he tends his land carefully conserving every precious inch of it and the fruits of his labor are his own he is independent and independence was long the Japanese farmers dream to help rebuild Japan the United States supplied help in tangible form as well as political and economic guidance during the occupation we gave Japan more than two billion dollars worth of aid including food for the war had all but shattered Japan's economy and the hungry people cannot learn democratic ways very quickly the task of reconstructing the devastated nation was slow and difficult with many heartbreaking setbacks like the floodwaters which rolled up from the sea carrying misery and destruction floods engulfed Japan in various sections but each place the tragic story was the same after the tides had subsided acre after acre of carefully tended farmland lay covered entire communities were isolated when catastrophe like this struck the occupation forces rushed emergency aid to the stricken communities the army's medical corps assumed the task of pushing through whatever obstacles it could to deliver needed personnel and equipment nurses and doctors to care for the sick medical supplies to ward off disease food and clothing under the stimulus of American aid Japan's industry began to revive slowly at first and often literally from scratch materials were scarce but the industrious Japanese people have a great amount of ingenuity and they accepted what little they had and built from that the lowly tin can for instance discarded at American military bases and salvaged by the Japanese became raw material in the revival of Japan's important toy industry the sea has always been an important source of Japan's food supply and since ancient times her fishing fleets have been her greatest industry in normal times her fishermen bring in one fourth of the world's fish products but the end of the war found almost half the fleet sunk or out of commission and what was left was in harbor for lack of fuel and equipment occupation authorities put fishing high on the list of industries needing help and once more the coastal waters around Japan are filled with vessels carrying fishermen who comb the sea for one of the most important staples in the Japanese diet Japan's textile industry including its famed silk mills was one of the first industries to be revived today although it has been hampered by diminishing markets textiles make up nearly half of Japan's exports Japan's heavy industry began to grow such as the ship building industry which revived the nation's merchant fleet to carry Japan's exports into the world markets this industrial rebirth was spurred not only by American aid but also by Japan's own affinity for industrialization since the 19th century Japan has been mastering the techniques of industrial production matching the best records produced during the industrial revolution in the west this ability once made Japan the strongest nation in all Asia but the war set her back some 10 years behind the west in industrial techniques she suffered from old plants and equipment and lack of contact with technical advances elsewhere in the world but with American help she started to catch up not only government help but private American investment as well has helped Japan in this effort some of the United States leading industrial enterprises encouraged by investment incentives have developed a private technical assistance program which is aiding Japan immeasurably and once again Japan is ahead of every other nation in Asia in knowledge of mass production methods Japan became particularly important to the United States when the communist armies shook the stability of the far east by marching on South Korea in the summer of 1950 when the free world promptly met the challenge Japan became the base from which the United Nations directed its campaign to halt aggression it was now that the real test of Japan's friendship for the United States came occupation troops left Japan for the fighting zone at one point every major tactical unit had left Japan in many military occupations this would be a dangerous situation signaling the opportunity for uprising among the occupied people but in Japan there was no disturbance the occupation proved a success without Japanese bases from which to move troops and equipment the prosecution of the Korean campaign would have been much more difficult indeed the Japanese helped our war effort not only through their loyalty and moral support but in a more direct way as well Japanese industrialists turned their attention to the war needs of the United Nations and on a competitive bid basis undertook to produce these items their factories turned out equipment of all kinds for the fighting troops of the United Nations Japanese laborers worked in United States Army plants to repair damaged military equipment all this activity spurred by Japan's friendship with the United States had also a beneficial effect upon Japanese industry the United Nations spent at the rate of 300 million dollars a year for the military goods it bought related spending by United Nations forces pumped another 500 million dollars a year into Japan's economy over the last few years the Japanese people have had occasion to meet many Americans high-ranking representatives of the United States from all walks of American life but the greatest unofficial ambassador of goodwill has been the American soldier since the very beginning of the occupation he has been in direct contact with the Japanese people themselves most of what they know of American life they have learned from the soldiers who have been stationed in their land the association was not always there were many barriers to complete understanding particularly language and cultural ones but both the Japanese citizens and the American soldiers put their hearts into it and it is out of their association that the friendship between the two countries derives much of its strength it is with the children of any foreign country that the American soldier first makes friends and Japan was no exception candy the universal language of childhood the common denominator of friendship some might call this bribery the art of buying friendship well perhaps but a child's friendship is not easily bought so perhaps there is another name for it which the child knows whether the cynic does or not kindness it is an art which the GI has practiced for a long time and children the world over have responded in Japan the soldiers and children became fast friends immediately almost every military unit in the country entertained a group of youngsters at one time or another they contributed generously to orphanages and other child charities the American soldier did not set out consciously to be an ambassador even an unofficial one all he had in mind was to enjoy himself as well as he could away from home to take advantage of all the opportunities for enjoyment that the scenic land of Japan offered not everything in this strange culture was easy for him to understand the Shinto religion for instance or the precise formality of Japanese manners but the soldier didn't have to understand it all to appreciate it and in his appreciation of the things Japan had to offer he earned the goodwill of the Japanese people as well as finding pleasure himself in the enjoyment of new experiences for their part the Japanese too had difficulty understanding some American customs but through exhibitions staged by the American forces country fairs for instance where American landmarks were represented the Japanese learned a great deal about the United States replicas of American institutions enabled them to learn something of its government they were fascinated in their discovery of its political history its industrial strength the majestic look of its cities they learned about us in other ways too customs and traditions which for ages have appealed to children of the West had an impact on children of the East the Boy Scout movement always popular with Japanese youth deteriorated during the war years but its revival after the war found the same kind of popularity with the new generation of Japanese boys international jamborees provided Japanese scouts with an opportunity to meet and work with boys of other nations with great success it is among the youth that westernization has a particular appeal in Japan at a school set up by American women in Japan young Japanese wives of American soldiers learn how an American housewife goes about her duties it's not that one system is better than the other but there are areas of great difference between the Japanese and the American way of baby tending cooking and many other activities these young Japanese brides will soon be going to the United States with their husbands and they want to learn the customs and the manners of their new home in the steady forging of friendship between the two peoples the Japanese and Americans have done more than sample each other's cultures they have participated together in many activities their youth have met on the field of sports a good proving ground for any friendship swimming meets are a particular favorite drawing great crowds of spectators Americans and Japanese alike traditionally both nations produce top swimmers and they delight in bringing their best representatives together to play aquatic games or to compete in distance swimming each with his own distinctive style competition in sports in itself is not perhaps a solid enough base upon which a structure of international friendship can be built but it helps the military occupation of Japan ended on April 28 1952 after a peace treaty between the two countries was signed at San Francisco American troops are still in Japan today as defense troops training instead of performing occupation duties we recognize the defense of Japan as our first military responsibility in the far East and by mutual agreement between the Japanese and American government our troops will remain in Japan to provide her with the security she needs Japan lies perilously close to both Russia and communist China and the American troops in Japan are closer than any other forces to the iron curtain which hides Soviet ambitions so in a very real sense these troops are poised on the front lines of the free world's defenses for there is little doubt that Japan figures prominently in long-range Soviet plans through constant training and maneuver these troops prepare for any sudden move any eventuality for the harsh truth today is that strength and vigilance are the price of freedom the free world has learned that and Japan has recognized it too and is moving steadily toward the day when she will be strong enough to defend herself against aggression Japan has a national security force of 110,000 men made up of police and constabulary troops who were trained during the occupation this force will be expanded in the future and with American help equipped with heavy weapons picking her way carefully through the mistakes of recent history avoiding the excesses that led once to catastrophe Japan is taking on the responsibilities that go with freedom Japan's historic and colorful past is important and meaningful to the Japanese nation today for out of that past has come the folklore the traditions and beliefs which mold a national character Japan's period of association with the West has been relatively short as history goes here American friends of Japan help the Japanese people celebrate the anniversary of the opening of one of the nation's major ports to Western ships less than a century ago that century of contact with the Western world has been a turbulent one for Japan it has brought her great strength but it is also brought great defeat and violent change to many of the symbols and values she lived by but out of it all there is emerging today a new Japan with tradition still rooted in its national past but with its future tied to the fortunes of the West a strong Japan in which the free world sees the hope of stability and peace in the orient our ties of friendship with Japan are strong in this fact lies part of our strength and much of our hope for peace this is sergeant Stuart Queen inviting you to be with us on this same channel next week for another look at the big picture the United States Army in action the big picture

So this is not a tutorial video like I normally do this is a story video really has nothing to do with technology or computers or anything but It's something that I want to bring up so that people are aware even though I don't really care at this point in my life. So My birthday's coming up. I'm gonna be turning 40 by the time you guys see this video already be 40 And I'm ready for it. I've been in my 30s for long enough I mean no longer than anybody else, but I'm ready for a new decade and A good friend of mine from high school I don't see that often was nice stuff to send me a birthday card and in it He sent me a gift card to Starbucks now I don't go to Starbucks often because I don't drink coffee But I definitely look forward to getting myself a sandwich or a pastry or whatever else they have there But it makes me think back 16 17 years ago Before I was a firefighter when I was going through the fire Academy I got myself a part-time job at the Barnes and Noble cafe for those of you don't know Barnes and Noble is a bookstore and within the bookstore. They have a cafe which serves Starbucks coffee, but it is not a Starbucks and that is what the story is about So it's not really a story more of just a Conversation if you will so people Quite often didn't realize that we were not a Starbucks that we just serve Starbucks coffee You might ask well, what's the difference? So the difference is this a few things We don't have everything Starbucks has we had a few types of coffee and a few types of pastries But we didn't do everything Starbucks did we were a company that serves Starbucks coffee But we were not Starbucks the sign was very misleading because it was a green circle It said Barnes and Noble cafe and then in the middle they had the Starbucks logo and it said serving Starbucks coffee and Sometimes people come in and try to order stuff that Starbucks has that we don't that wasn't that big of a deal We explain to them and they go okay, but what became a problem was this people would bring in Starbucks gift cards place the order and go here's my gift card and we go. Oh, sorry. We're not a Starbucks And people go. What do you mean? Look at the sign? I'd be like, yeah, look at the sign read it It doesn't say we're a Starbucks says we're serving Starbucks coffee now I tell people the story and they go well, that's an honest mistake and yes Yes, I get it was kind of misleading and we're in green aprons It looks like a Starbucks the sign has a Starbucks logo on it and I understand people not realizing that we aren't a Starbucks but Once I pointed out people would get mad at me and be like well I got a gift card. I want to use my gift card. It's like well. I don't know how you expect me to do that I've explained. We're not a Starbucks. We don't have Starbucks systems I can't do anything with your gift card and people will get mad at me. So the point of me telling this story is to Kind of point out and I think most people would know this is just you can't get mad at a worker for the system, right? And I don't know people act like they if they yelled at me or asked for a manager It would change the situation But there was absolutely no way for us to take Starbucks gift cards because we were not a Starbucks I compare it to you going to a grocery store like Publix or Winn-Dixie or wherever grocery have near you They sell Starbucks coffee there, right? They sell the bags their coffee You can't use a Starbucks gift card there, right? Just because it's a Starbucks product It's not a Starbucks store. We're the same thing. We were just cooking the coffee or Percolating the coffee when you don't percolate it. Whatever you would call it. We would heat the coffee up for you But it was just so hard. I mean I get the confusion but I don't get as Once it's pointed out why people would try to argue and fight and think that it's going to make a difference Because I don't know what they expected us to do And it happened quite often and and people would Get upset with me and ask for managers and stuff like that and insist that they take the gift card You know I get you know some people went oh, you know I can't I was planning on using that and I don't want my stuff Anymore Lee I completely understand that that's what I would do if I went someplace thinking I was gonna use a gift card And they wouldn't take the gift card I wouldn't been paid for the product unless I really wanted it But a lot of times when I get a gift card like I said I don't normally go to Starbucks because I don't drink coffee But I definitely look forward to using this and I'm very thankful a friend gave it to me But if I went to Starbucks, they said oh, sorry, we can't take your gift card for whatever reason I Wouldn't go well. Here's my I'd be like sorry. I don't want it then and I'd walk away So yeah, just be kind it's it's always crazy when you see someone getting mad at an employee For doing their job you can get mad at the company, but but don't get mad at the person behind the counter so Just be kind be courteous and yeah, if you're being wrong fight for your rights But don't blame the man in the middle. Have a great day

And what we do is we build and develop slot decoding systems primarily. It's like big machines like this? Exactly. Yeah, it goes from small R&D systems to very large systems that are mainly used for flat panel display production. And our technology was kind of the pioneer in this area. Technology was first developed almost 30 years ago in the early 1990s as a replacement for what was historically coded with spin coders. So our technology became the de facto standard for coding photoresist layers, in some cases also color filter layers for early LCD production. So what are we looking at here in those pictures? So our technology and our systems are implemented in a fairly wide range of applications. While flat panel display is our main application, our largest market right now, there's also areas like photovoltaic, some print electronics like RFIDs, sensors, smart glass, and other applications, even some semiconductor where the technology has been applied to. And it's clean rooms. So what does it mean, the macro patterning, for example? Yeah, right. So again, technology was first developed almost 30 years ago. There have been other companies that have followed and also deliver slot decoding systems. We've tried to stay at the forefront of the technology and further developing our technology to be able to do what we refer to as macro patterning, which is really the position of an array of shapes on a larger substrate. So this technology historically has been used and has been very effective at coding large areas of an entire area of a panel. That's like big screens there? So yeah, this would be a way of, in this case, it's the front side, but this is a way for when you have a very large gen-sized glass, a way to just code active areas that will eventually become your products on the flat panel display.  All right. So how many of these machines do you have? Is it only in your fab? Or is it spread around the world? Do you have customers using them? So over the years, since our inception, we've probably sold well over 200 systems. And again, ranging from these smaller R&D tools that you find in labs all over the world to larger production tools. What does this one do, for example? That one specifically was actually for older lighting. It was for a customer in Europe. And is this arm going automatically around? So this idea is an example of a fully automated system. So while the core technology that we provide is slot-type coding, it's that technology, when we deliver it, it's usually delivered in conjunction with some other modules. You do the whole automation, you do all this? We do the whole automation. We do the whole integration. So with slot-type coding, you're depositing a wet film that, in most cases, has to be cured afterwards. So we usually, when we deliver a system, an integrated system, it's usually delivered either with hot plates or baking ovens. Some materials are UV cured. What are we looking at here? Is that the future of displays? Or are you going to be part of that? Are you going to be part of the flexible displays and plastic displays? Yeah, so right now, probably one of the biggest areas that we are looking at is flexible display, flexible OLED, where one of the films that we're depositing is become a very common practice to use polyimid as your flexible display. So what our systems will do is deposit a layer of polyimid, roughly about 15 microns, dry. And polyimid's then used to deposit the subsequent layers on, and eventually, at the end of your process, that polyimid is peeled off of the glass carrier plate that it was coated on, and it becomes your flexible display. So definitely a central part of potential future of those flexible OLEDs. When you're not quite printing the whole display, right? No. That's one of the processes. Who's doing that? I don't think there's anybody printing the whole. There's not one technology that's used to do the whole display. It's a number of technologies that work together to do this. So this is one key part of it, but there are other technologies that are used for the display area. One of the key parts is depositing the emissive layers whether it's for larger displays. You may be, when you start looking at solution processing, people are looking at potentially using inkjet in the future. But right now, most of those layers are being evaporated. And so your machines are building millions and millions of things, like this is everywhere. In some fabs, that's correct. It's not just R&D? No, not anymore. Certainly, there are a lot of systems still that are used for R&D, because development is ongoing. But there are dozens of systems that are in production now. Producing thousands of units a month. Where are you based? We're based in Dallas, Texas. And all these machines are being made there? Everything is being built in the US right now, correct.


I place this class of insulated jackets and vests 1, 3, 4, 2. I place 1 over 3 because 1 is water resistant while 3 is not, and 1 has an interior pocket while 3 does not. Grant, 3 is available in red. I place 3 over 4 because 3 is a goose down jacket while 4 is a vest, and 3 is available in red while 4 is not. Grant, 4 is water resistant. Grant, 4 has an interior gear pocket. I place 4 over 2 because 4 has prime down having 800 fill goose down while 2 has only 500 fill goose down, and 4 has an interior gear pocket while 2 does not. Grant, 2 is available in red. I place 2 last because it is not a goose down jacket. It does not have at least 500 fill goose down to make it prime down, and it does not have an interior gear pocket. For these reasons, I place this class of insulated jackets and vests 1, 3, 4, 2.


The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the psychosocial environment, potentially threatening the mental health of children and adolescents. Anxiety, lack of peer contact, and reduced stress regulation are major concerns. Additionally, an increased risk for parental mental illness, domestic violence, and child maltreatment is a threat, particularly for disadvantaged children and adolescents. Telepsychiatry is an important issue to evaluate its efficacy in child and adolescent psychiatry. Research is needed to assess the implications of pandemic policies on mental health and estimate the risk-benefit ratio of measures such as homeschooling. Child and adolescent psychiatrists must ensure continuity of care during all phases of the pandemic, with a focus on addressing the disproportionate impact on disadvantaged and marginalised children and adolescents.

Hello everyone and welcome. My name is Melissa Armo and I own the Stock Swoosh.  Don't do anything about trading the market, stocks and you wanna change careers. I say to those of you out there that are struggling or if you're thinking about making a leap into trading and you don't know anything about it and it seems really daunting, the best thing that you could do for yourself is to focus. You will be so much more successful if you focus daily on one strategy and one system and even preferably in one directional bias when you trade. If you get really, really good at one system, really good at one direction of bias whether it's going long or short and I prefer to short, although I'm very good at looking at longs too. Shorting is the first direction that I usually go to. Either way the focus will help you become more consistent. It will also be less stress before you when you're trading where you're not all over the place, not knowing what strategy to focus on, what to do, what indicator to be watching. It can be very overwhelming when you're new to trading and it can be overwhelming if you're currently trading because in any given day, the story can change, the market can change. There's a lot of volatility in the market right now and if you're really, really super duper focused you can really take advantage of making money in this market with the volatility that we're having but it does come down to having a good system, having the focus and really getting good even in one direction of bias when you're looking to trade. I hope you learned a little bit today. If you'd like more information on what I do and the method that I teach, which I created on gaps, feel free to email me at melissa at thestockswitch.com for upcoming class dates. Thanks everyone, have a great day.


Hey guys, what's up? So just want to share with you guys what happened particularly as my experience During the typhoon Some call it typhoon rye the Philippines calls it the typhoon or death, but it was really a category five Typhoon or hurricane was really scary and I just want to you know at least share with you guys my experience What happened? What did I do and? and the aftermath as well, so as you can see I Most of you guys know that I live in the Philippines and this is if this is going to be your typhoon eye We are here in this island. It's called negros Negros Island So it looks like a shape of a foot So we are there. We were literally in the center of the eye of the typhoon one of the most, you know, I think intense experiences of my life and So there you have it there that is the center and it went through from east side which is around your east viscis side, which is this part and This is what happened in east viscis. This is the one that I posted In terms of the pictures It really tore through the country from east to west As it made landfall it did all of these damage So again, I'm just want to recall what what I did for that day. I Was actually going about my business for the day. I was even though I knew that there was a typhoon coming in I Didn't expect it to be this, you know, this this this crazy crazy high category of five I thought it was just, you know, a two or something because a few days prior to that day of the typhoon We had a typhoon, which is a smaller one So what I what I was expecting was and I it's just going to be a similar typhoon, but I was wrong I I went out of the house gave out gifts to colleagues to friends Then got home at around 2 p.m. 2 p.m. Philippine time. I knew that, you know, it was coming in it was going to be winds are actually intense enough So I secured some of the things out outside of the house at 6 p.m. It was already at signal number four. So storm signal number four is very dangerous already It it was it made landfall. I think some part of east viscis So I knew it was already serious and Just to you know, just to keep my mind off. You watched movies my family and I and At 10 p.m. Philippine time Everything went dark. So the lights went out. They cut the power Not even internet connection. So we were really in the dark I told my daughter to go to sleep, but Unfortunately, my wife and I wasn't able to sleep that much. We were awake the whole time and the most the the scariest thing that I experienced was Waiting for the roof to come off. So that is how I really felt during this time Because I'll show you guys some of the pictures here for what happened. So these are actually floods So as you can see here trees uprooted everywhere trees floods even boats were not even saved so My thinking was some of the roof already came off and The winds were howling it was really re-terrifying because if the roof came off definitely the rain would come in the wind would come in so Again, it was it was one of the scariest moments in my life. I was about to To you know to have a panic attack Fortunately, I you know, didn't have any what I did was put on earphones put on music as loud as I can to take my You know my my head off what was happening outside and I had to basically Think about anything else aside from what was going on outside But I I saw from outside of my window palm my palm tree here was actually swaying and Really the wind was crazy Things outside were falling were breaking and I just wished wasn't one of it wasn't my car So again Really really scary episode There was this one time where It kept on coming and coming in terms of the wind and I thought the roof would come off That was how scary it is for the first time in my life As you can see More trees uprooted trees falling down. This is actually these are actually pictures from my surrounding area This were these were contributed by friends trees falling off roof roof flying off flooding another you know boats crashing As you can see their power lines or telecommunication lines going down. So again, the whole experience of Being in a situation where in where in you're fearful for your life, you're fearful for your family You know, it's it's horrifying We actually stayed up until two or three o'clock in the morning just for just to wait for the winds to die down and You know, it did really at around three o'clock in the morning. So again, this was really a horrifying experience I wouldn't want you guys to go through it for those who are the Philippines with me and have gone through it I hope you guys are actually safe wherever you are and I hope that, you know, you can comment down below on also your experience with the past Typhoon that just rocked our our country, which is Odette or Rai and That's it guys. So just want to share with you the next day. By the way, I woke up at 7 in the morning just to check the roof just to check Just to check everything is alright outside and fortunately My roof is intact surprisingly But some houses were not, you know, some houses were not fortunate. Some people were not fortunate and I hope You know, I hope this experience is going, you know Will strengthen those who were affected by this typhoon and hopefully guys if you're one of them I'd like to hear from you. I'd like to hear your stories. Please put them in the comment section below And hopefully there are no more typhoons left for this year for the Philippines because we're usually Are we are usually the path of most typhoons? We usually get around 50 to 20 typhoons every year But this one was one of the craziest ones and for me I think personally was one of the scariest ones because it really passed by On top of us, especially the eye itself Okay, guys, so thank you for you know for just listening to me Just wanted to share with you my experience and what I have encountered in the past few days. So again Um, hopefully no more interruption for the next few days Um, hope to bring you guys more videos and I'll see you in the next one. Peace out


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here since I'm a halloween in this video here again today and talking about some Different new details that fandom empire shared recently in a couple videos shout out to fandom empire I'll leave a link to both videos down in the description of this video We're gonna be talking mostly about glass hill and talking about the Myers house And apparently if it will be appearing or not in halloween ends according to the sources that again have been relaying information To fandom empire so when it comes to glass hill that was the destination in halloween 2018 I believe was mentioned as pertains to where Michael Myers was to be Transported to until the bus crash of course we know happened that led to the events of what transpired later on in that movie And of course in halloween kills and now we're gonna see the fallout from all that how it's impacted everyone four years later in halloween Ends so from what they were saying in this video It seems like it could be like the B-plot of the movie but more updated information shows that it's going to serve as a foundation for new Characters that are introduced and will help with their development as well Of course now my thing here is are we going to meet because I don't know what this place is gonna look like I know Sartain described it as a pit of hail. So like how I would imagine this is gonna be a very dingy looking place like very Sinister maybe in nature not to say it's gonna look like it's from another world But it's gonna look ran through I would imagine ran through run down Not the most welcoming and it might just be a home to maybe some unpleasant individuals Because I don't know how certain people are actually gonna be connected to the movie or connected to Glass Hill in the movie and how their developments will be impacted by Glass Hill So we'll see how that ends up being in halloween ends now again It was supposed to be the place where Michael was gonna get transported to so I'm also thinking Could we see Michael? Get captured does he and I've always said it stated. What if we see something that happens at the beginning of ends picking up From where kills left off showing Michael get recaptured and he's still taken to where he was intended to be taken to which is glass Hill so is Michael gonna escape from glass hill in this movie has that where he's been for the past four years You know, there's so many different things you can do there So and again, we don't know what it's gonna look like It's all so nice to see that they are not gonna just try to go back to Smith's Grove Presumably they're gonna try to relate more on in this Location glass Hill because I know people were getting tired of Smith's Grove So if we do find out that Michael was recaptured and he wasn't in Smith's Grove, but he was at glass hill I think that again would be something that people are more open to because you're being you're being more I would say cohesive and more logical there and Not having things that don't really make sense happening since again, it's important to acknowledge He was supposed to already get transported here in the 2018 movie So again, given that the events of kills end on the night of 2018 You still can go through with that if you want to for whatever reason So I'm I'm imagining them taking him to glass hill and he'll escape from glass hill And that's how he'll end up getting back to Haddonfield in Halloween ends now, of course though something is telling me that Michael has just been out there in the ether for the past four years So I feel like we're gonna get very much vibes of what happened to him. Where did he go? It's gonna seem like many people don't know where he's at not to say they couldn't have taken him to glass hill and secretly somehow kept it a secret But we'll see what happens as pertains to the Myers house Phantom Empire also stated that the Myers house is indeed in the movie, but it's only briefly However, it could be cut out since it's not that important like it was in Halloween kills If it is in the movie, I will do wonder what this brief moment could look like So I'm imagining them doing maybe like somebody driving by the house and making some comments about it or You know, some people would love to say a final battle actually happened there But I can see Halloween ends going to a place where you are getting a finale in a place where you weren't expecting it to be So having it at the Myers house would of course be something many of us would like to see myself included but Knowing that the Myers house will be present in the movie But probably not as relevant or important as it was in kills I'm okay with that if you don't have anything really to work with there for the movie Then don't don't really just use it But that was a brilliant set piece that was shown in having because again I can go on all day about what they did in those flashbacks Some of the strongest stuff from the trilogy is in those 1978 flashbacks What they did and how they recreated that Myers house is still one of the most best recreations since we've gotten Or that we've had since the original movie I'd also say it's probably the best use of the Myers film in quite a while Since of course going all the way back to the last time it was used with the John Carpenter Movie continuity I would say with Halloween resurrection. So it's just like okay the way it was done there It's like okay. That's more respectful. It's more accurate looking and you also are not giving us a Movie a watered-down movie with not to say that resurrection didn't have quality aspects over that were ahead of its time But still the overall quality of the movie with the Myers house as a backdrop felt bit felt a bit insulting Considering what went on in the history and how this house has been talked about and to put it in the movie like that It felt a little bit insulting So I was glad to see the Myers house return in a movie that was much better compared to resurrection But the brief mention of it in ends how that will play out. I do not know I do not even think that this movie will end at the Myers house Of course now knowing that it's apparently only gonna have a brief thing It could actually be cut also because there's no telling if this deep if this information is coming to us from the looks of a first cut or Something that's final because the thing about it is just because they have been related information that the Myers house is in It now doesn't mean that they can't still cut it out because if it's that unimportant as a as compared to how it was seemingly very important in kills if it doesn't do anything to push the needle for it You don't need it so I can see them cutting it out And if they do cut it out I wouldn't care in the sense that we've already gotten our fix of the Myers house done perfectly fine with Halloween kills They've done enough with the house if it's shown briefly in ends. That's fine, too, but I don't think they're gonna take it that far to Have a finale occur there. I've already stated. I think in other videos that would love to see that happen there I don't think there's anything wrong with it happening there, but they might just wanting to be Preserving what they've already done with the house in kills and then just doing the wrap-up at a different location obviously we're gonna see countless new locations and I can just see this movie ending at a place where you probably never have seen before in Haddonfield I don't think I don't even say oh, what if it ends at the radio tower that can of course still happen But I'm thinking of it ending at a separate location. It doesn't have to end at the radio tower This could be ending at a place where you never even considered They're not even making it clear that it's going to be in the movie this location because it's gonna be something that surprises you It's gonna be a different location in Haddonfield I think that you've never seen before and that will be where the final battle goes on between Michael Laurie Lindsay I'm assuming is gonna be present and Allison and then whoever else is left by the end of it So I'm excited to see how all these new details end up becoming fleshed out or brought to life in Halloween ends Let me know you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already, of course Make sure you subscribe turn on postification there is a video in your scripts I have links my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course limited movies and reviews let me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


When the rock rips a promo, he gets super personal. He called you a clown. He brought your wife Becky Lynch into it. Is there anything that's over the line with you? No, because it's coming from him and I know what he's trying to do. And look, he is living kind of on his past receipts.  Come up with something more original. First of all, I'm not a clown. I got style you never had, pal. Second of all, you can't dog on me for being married to the greatest of all time. I mean, especially when you're saying I'm not as popular as her. Come on now. This is a great style of time as Becky Lynch. What I am offended by is that he's coming back here trying to say that he made wrestling cool again. He hasn't been cool in 20 years. All he's done in the last five years is try to latch himself onto things he thought were cool. And then in turn, he made them uncool. WWE was hot before the rock got back. We're happy to have you here, but we don't need you, pal.  Because it ain't making good movies. I'll tell you that.


The EU Lifecycle Project is a large-scale research initiative that combines data from multiple cohorts across Europe and Australia. This project provides a comprehensive overview of mental health measures available in these cohorts, ranging from birth to adulthood. It also includes longitudinal and cross-sectional data on a variety of behavioral and psychopathology indicators and outcomes, such as executive function, depression, ADHD, and cognition. Additionally, the project has developed harmonized variables on a subset of mental health domains, which will allow for longitudinal meta-analysis across instruments and cohorts.
