Says show work clearly blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, two forces if the two forces acting on the object below are equal in magnitude Which of the following is not? Possible in other words, which of the following is false Forces are equal in magnitude. Okay, um The object is at rest I Think that's possible. In fact, that's very likely could be traveling at a constant speed if the forces were in balance, but probably at rest so The object is accelerating to the left Can it be accelerating if the forces are in balance? Yeah, I think the answer here is Be I Think it could be at rest I think it could be moving at a constant velocity up or a constant velocity to the right as long as you had a constant velocity That means you have balanced forces number two a Mass of five kilograms is suspended from a chord as shown below what horizontal force F is Necessary to hold the mass in the position shown. Is there a beam in this question anywhere? But to be an easy question, so is there a beam in this question anywhere? No, no torques. This is equilibrium This is going to be free-body diagram and then we're going to add our forces together Perhaps in a vector triangle if there's three of them coming back to where we started from or we'll go components Let's see. What are the forces act? Well, I got good old mg down mystery force F and Tension, you know what since I only have three forces and a lovely right angle I think I'll use my trig approach here. I'll draw the easiest force first Mg the toughest force I think tension looks the uckiest and I know I have to stop exactly there Although that's really a lousy angle. I know I have to stop exactly there because the third force It tells me is exactly horizontal and that's the mystery force that I'm trying to find I Also notice if I add a vertical line right here That this angle here is 35 degrees and I see Z I'm pretty sure that this angle down here is 35 degrees and now let's see what I don't mean to find F Opposite adjacent y tangent of 35 equals opposite over adjacent I think that mystery force F is mg Can 35 I get out my calculator. I say, oh, I'm in math 12 as well better make sure I'm in degrees Speaking of which ha ha radians nice try M5 wasn't it? I think yeah five times nine point eight times the tangent of thirty five Thirty four point three Force F equals thirty four point three Newtons B. I like this question. I like this question. I like this question. I like this question Okay Now different ways I can ask this question. I Can give you this mass and you multiply by g or in this case? I gave you mg and say find the tensions I would also Jordan have no problem giving you one of the tensions say find the other one find the mass Because I'm gonna say in the triangle as long as you know one of the sides you have a pair You can find any of the other sides. I figure that's fair game. Okay So it says first of all draw a free-body diagram showing the forces acting on the knot. Okay, there's the knot. I have mg tension one Tension to Hopefully y'all got that one. I won't prop I probably won't be horribly fussy when it comes to Scale or angles. I mean be close though What is the tension in rope one no idea what is the tension in rope to no idea I Need to draw this. Let's see. Oh How many forces do I have here Ryan? Trink for components like the rock climber one that we did three, huh? Okay? Easiest force first Mg and then I'll probably do tension one which looks like it goes kind of shallow about like that and You know if I do this properly Probably a little longer if I'm thinking my scale and then tension two looks kind of like this And I want to find some angles. Let's see. I noticed that tension one has a 20 there How big is that angle right there then? Is that how big is this angle right here then and these two together add to 90 ha ha 70 got one I noticed this one 60 degrees with the vertical line 60 degrees with a vertical line. Sorry. Did I say vertical horizontal 60 degrees of the horizontal line? And I think this forms a 90. So I'm pretty sure that this here is aha 30 These two together add to a hundred. Oh 80 Okay, I've done the hard part. I've got my triangle and You'll notice who I have a pair in fact, you know what instead of writing mg They told me what mg is I'll put a little 750 right there Why not and this is the pair that I know which means it's gonna be sign law and cross multiplying and Certainly a nice change from the cosine law squaring all sorts of stuff so it's gonna be sign of 80 over what's across from it Equals now I want to find tension one. So it's gonna be this pair here Which means that it's gonna be 30 over tension one. I'm pretty sure that tension one is gonna end up being 750 sine 30 divided by sine 80 750 sine 30 divided by Sine 80 Boy, why am I yawning mr. Do it? It's first thing in the morning. You get 381 Yep 381 what Ryan Newvins? Check what is the tension in rope to it's gonna be almost identical in my approach Here's my pair sine 80 over 750 equals Tension to here's my pair sine 70 over tension to in fact I think that tension to it's gonna end up being 750 sine 70 over sine 80 Fact if I'm really lazy, I can just go second function enter and change the 30 to a 70 and you get tension to is 716 newtons Okay So keep an eye out for this kind of a diagram where you see a rope another rope two different angles and a mass But having said that I would have no problem mixing and matching this Hey, I'll give you one tension find the other one and find the mass or in this case. Here's the mass Mg find both tensions or I Think it's about it equilibrium in terms of part marks Well, if you got the right answers you get full mark seven well five out of five plus one This question was only worth six marks. That's a little weird Usually the written or seven. Oh well Otherwise, I'd probably give you one mark for a good free body to triangle if I could see that somewhere, but I'll let you well Let's go find it equilibrium Give yourself a score if you're not it out of ten But part marks in case you were wondering What's something like this? Did I have part marks on here? Ha, I didn't have part marks on here Okay, give yourself some good part marks if you didn't get the right answer Give yourself a score out of ten please and Pass the quizzes in please Look up. So we've been looking at Torx. Torx is what times what? Okay, go ahead. I like the way you said it He didn't say force times distance because I have to freak if you say that force times distance is work His jewels is scaler. His energy is totally different But torque is force times perpendicular difference distance It's a cross product for those of you who want to get fancy at your multiplying vectors Which we really don't know how to do properly We said it does have direction clockwise and counterclockwise For what it's worth and we said that if your forces are not perpendicular to the beam and you use torques when there is a beam You're gonna have to find the components. We talked about rotational equilibrium We said that rotational equilibrium is when the sum of all the torques is zero. I don't deal with that Jordan I always said all of the clockwise torques and I drew a little arrow in that direction equal all of the Counterclockwise torques and I drew a little arrow in that direction look up Alright the physics of cow tipping. Yes, someone has actually analyzed this you see as it turns out if You draw a line from the top shoulder of the cow all the way to the bottom hoof Why that's sort of like a beam as a matter of fact trying to tip a cow is sort of like having the pivot point of your torque Right down there and the UV prof actually worked out the equation now if you look at this Mg hey, that's the force straight down at the center of mass Cosine theta if you were to actually find the perpendicular component you would find out that it turns out to be cosine A plus B is the length of the beam Hey, that sounds like a torque question where to get the force by itself which being is applied right there torque Is what times what Gordon? And how far away is force F from the beam a Plus B so they had that here then they divided the end of by itself It's a torque question as it turns out and then when you crunch the numbers for an average cow You find that to flip a cow you need 1360 newtons of force which is why it's probably an urban legend or a myth But some of you on a farm it may feel free to try it out too much force required. Oh Come on, that was pretty good. I felt count. No Okay Then questions from the homework Which ones would you like me to go over I'll go over a couple some of these were definitely on the nasty side Can I do which one? seven Love to Not really, but I will any before number seven okay, and I think so for most of these it's the startup like I think you've noticed once we get everything set up The equations aren't even you divide once and you've got the thing by itself and you go to your calculator and the way you go I agree. It's the setup. Okay, so here's our beam. That is a crane Beam Yeah Torques. Yeah, what are the forces acting on this beam get the obvious ones Well, there's gonna be the mass of the beam which is gonna be I think right about there I'll call that mass of the beam times G Center of mass. You okay with that and then we have mass of the load times G and Tension I can't use any of those Because none of them are perpendicular to the beam you want to be careful I some kids think oh these are perpendicular Mr. Do it I'm not to the ground to the beam the beams on an angle. We're gonna be doing some trig here So what I would do now, and I'm gonna zoom in a little bit. I think I can fit all this on one. Yeah, I Would say There's the perpendicular component There's the parallel component. There's the perpendicular component. There's the parallel component by the way Sally this rope is pulling down and to the left These forces are both down I'm positive this hinge is pushing To the right. I'm not gonna label it though put the I'll put them in a race at this second because that cancels out the left and Since these are all three down. Is there any upwards force? Where on that hint this hinge is probably doing that It has to be otherwise this crane would have to be collapsing into the ground But how far are both of these from the pivot? So how much torque will they exert so I'm gonna nuke them But if I did give you this and say pick the best free-body diagram or I asked you to draw the free-body diagram And there's gonna be a perpendicular component of Tension where that's the right angle and that's the right angle and that's the right angle I'm gonna do the bottom the g's first How big how big how big This they all have to be 45 this time because it's these two have to add to 90 and these two have to add to 90 In fact, usually you'll find this angle and this angle are the same So I'm gonna put that in there 45 45 that one wasn't too bad the ugly one's gonna be this other Yeah, how big I mean That's not a proper Zed.  What do these two add to ah Gives us one more angle. I'm gonna try something. So it's 180 minus 45 135 math 12 coming in handy here a little bit. So I'm actually gonna label this 135 ha ha ha One two I now know this angle. How big how come I know this angle? triangle That's 165 so 180 minus 165 15 degrees and that seems about right in terms of its size So I think I've done it. Okay, and now I say to you my child Now I see a proper Zed. Oh That right there is 15 degrees Just to unclutter my diagram because I can I'm gonna get rid of these guys now because that was they're gonna get in my way But you know on my homework to be stay there. So far so good. Okay Whoo, I Gotta go back to the small screen now By the way, this is this I would consider this fair game as the nasty multiple-choice question little over the top for a written but only a little equilibrium The sum of all the torques clockwise Equals the sum of all the torques counterclockwise Here's my pivot which forces would cause it to spin in the clockwise direction perpendicular which I didn't bother labeling on there. I guess I should M beam G perpendicular M L G perpendicular. I kind of got it fit in there. Sorry So I'm gonna have The mass of the beam G perpendicular times its distance from the pivot. Oh The beam is six meters long center of mass Three plus The mass of the load G perpendicular times its distance from the pivot and that equals Tension perpendicular times its distance from the pivot which conveniently is also six trig M G perpendicular and M G. I think it's cosine Right, I think this is gonna be the mass of the beam G cosine of 45 Times three now you're in math 12 Sally the nice one of this because it's 45 degrees Sign and cosine give you the same answer. So even if you got it wrong and you sign you'd still get the right answer by a fluke triangle Plus mass of the load times G times the sign, Mr. Do it cosine. We do it correctly Cosa 45 times six that equals tension perpendicular and Sally I'm gonna divide by six right now and get the tension perpendicular by itself Could you take it from here once you're done? Then you have to figure out which how tension and tension perpendicular are related I think they're related through sign. Okay, I'll let you take it the rest of the way I'm I think most people it's this first line. That's the challenge right getting all that set up in the trig Okay Any others? Okay Last lesson Short unit partly because I snuck a lot of the forces equilibrium stuff in earlier when we did ramps and things For So all we're going to do today is we're going to look at a famous pork question at an angle and Then if I have time today, I would like to go through your energy test You Missed the physics of count tipping no Well, I guess you could The latter question leading a ladder against the wall a ladder seems to me Gordon is a beam When you lean it that's James to me. It's kind of a torque at an angle Yeah Well Gordon said he's gonna fall what we're really going to ask ourselves is What are the physics of a ladder sliding out? When is it safe and when is it not? So it says draw a force diagram for the ladder below and Identify the best location for the pivot point. We do have to add one thing We have to assume the vertical wall is frictionless Otherwise, we'll have one too many unknown forces and we can't solve this. So here we go Here's our diagram What are the forces acting on this ladder get the obvious ones? Okay, the mass of the ladder Where am I gonna put that? Center of mass, so I'm gonna go like that and I'll call it MLG for mass of the ladder what else? I think it's at least one more kind of obvious one for me The weight of the dude. I'll call it M2g Can't bring myself to label him as the dude and it could be a female to a stick figure What else did by the way, can this be it no Because if that was it this ladder would have to be accelerating which direction down is it Okay, I think there is a ground force here And you know what we've given that force a name in the past. Let's call it the normal force I could also call it FY Okay Gordon is saying I think I need friction between the ladder and the wall because it seems to me You can't set up a ladder on ice I agree with you, but we're gonna have to prove why we need it because right now This is technically in balance like right now all of my forces cancel out by the way This is probably equal to both of those Right It's touching a wall here It's leaning against the surface here Here also just like with the normal force here also forces come in pairs If the ladder is pushing against the wall, what's the wall doing? So I'm gonna go like this and I'm gonna call this Normal force number two. That's my force to the left and by doing that then Gordon I can tell you I agree there is friction down here But I can tell you which way friction has to point this friction have to point to the left or to the right To the right to cancel out normal force number one In fact, that's the key idea to solving this question. The key idea to solving this is to recognize Oh, you know what look up. Let's all put a one right here next to the first normal force the key idea to recognize is that Normal force number one is going to be equal to the mass of the ladder times g Plus the mass of whatever else is on the ladder times g Those are an equilibrium the sum of the forces up equal to some of the forces down and Friction equals Normal force number two. I'm not saying friction equals mu times a normal force I'm just saying look those two forces are the only horizontal forces so they got to cancel each other out Otherwise this ladder would have to be accelerating. Oh Normal force two did I put a one there? That was silly normal force two Okay That's our diagram If We want to solve this where would the best place to put a pivot be I think if I put it here I cancel out two forces when it comes to torques Then what I would do is I would find the perpendicular component the perpendicular component the perpendicular component and And I think if I know both masses I can find normal force too And then if I need to usually they want you to find the friction force Or they might take it one step further and say find the coefficient of friction And then you would say friction equals mu times this normal force Kind of like example two Says find the value of the coefficient of friction for the ladder on the ground Little tie to your Dylan because we don't have somebody standing on the ladder to give us an extra mass No, the extra mass is just really one more term more than anything Let's label our diagram. What are the forces acting on this get the obvious ones? So we're gonna have mg mass of the ladder times g I'm gonna have Now I called it a normal force. You can also call it if you want to f wall or Anyways, it's technically a normal force. So I'm gonna call it normal force number two But you'll see when you're looking at my answer key. I'm not consistent Sometimes I called it force of the wall. Sometimes I might have called it force x horizontal. Whatever Normal force number one, and I'm pretty sure Brendan these two cancel each other out and Friction, and I'm pretty sure that these two cancel each other out. What do they want me to find here? okay friction equals mu times the normal force number one So if they want me to find that that's the only equation we have with mu in it So if they want me to find the coefficient of friction mu, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up going mu equals friction divided by Normal force number one. I guess me again. I'm gonna try and find each of these and then divide them Well, let's start. I think I'm gonna put my pivot right there And I'm gonna use torques But I need to go perpendicular so here's mg perpendicular and Let's zoom in just a little bit here Tyler imagine this line goes straight down and touches How big is this angle? How big is this angle if this goes straight down and touches? This is 90 60 and then the one next to it 60 because these two add to 90. Okay. We've got our 60 Yeah, oh And the upper one I can kind of also find the perpendicular component.  Ah How big is that angle? 60. Okay, that one is gonna be two Zs Okay Where that's the right angle? All right torques How do I know torques? There's a beam The sum of all the torques clock wise that's in that direction Equals the sum of all the torques counter clock wise that's in that direction If that's my pivot point if it could magically somehow rotate right around there I know it can't there's a wall in the way, but use your imagination. What would cause it to rotate in this direction? Sally you're right okay Mg perpendicular times its distance from the pivot. How far from pivot is it? Sorry 2.5. Did you say are there any other clockwise torques? I don't see any Equals counterclockwise. I think normal force number two perpendicular Times its distance from the pivot five By the way, how far is it from the pivot? Zero no torque Gordon said wouldn't normal force one make it spin to and ah That's why I put the pivot there because I cancel up both those which I don't know anyways very nice By the way, sometimes every once in a while you'll see them give you a beam with no length None call the length L So you would say this is L What would you call this? L over 2 you'll find you have L's and everything and since L's appear and everything. You know what they do they cancel I Haven't seen that for a long time, and I don't think I did that on your test But I'm positive there is one in your big review Okay Mg perpendicular which trig function? Coast as it turns out again kind of nice So this is going to be m g Cosine of 60 Don't forget the distance 2.5 equals Normal force number two perpendicular. Yeah, I'm gonna divide by five right now and get the force by itself 10 kilograms 10 times 9.8 is 98 2.5 divided by 5 is a half half of 98 is 49 And I'm pretty sure the cosine of 60 is also a half.  That's not what we want. That's the perpendicular component So now let's walk up to this triangle here. How is the perpendicular component related to the normal force? Oh remember the normal force number two is the hypotenuse How are they related? Sign by the Brendan I know what you're thinking mr. Dewick I notice you do the trig for this one, but you don't do the trig for this one in the same line I guess I could have done the trig here and as I got better I did in my answer key, but I made so many dumb mistakes on that last triangle I got paranoid and almost always did the trig for this guy on a separate line I don't know why it just kind of I got stung enough times that I started doing it that way so sign of 60 Equals normal force number two perpendicular Divided by normal force number two I'm running out of room here normal force number two ends up being 24.5 divided by sine 60 is that right? No, yes. Yes people nodding 28.3 all this and we're nowhere near done I'm running out of room folks. I'm gonna have to move up here. Sorry Now here's what we said We said that Mu was equal to friction divided by Normal force number one. I don't know friction. Oh But look look look look look I do know another force the same size as friction what Normal force number two twenty eight point three Divided by Normal force number one. I don't know normal force number one. Oh, but look look look look look I know another force the same size as normal force number one Which one? MG right those are my only two verticals I think new the coefficient of friction and sorry that I kind of looped around like this ran out of room Not very organized mr. Duke, but I think the coefficient of friction is gonna be this number divided by Please tell me I gave you the mass I did ten times nine point eight divided by 98 and I get a coefficient of friction of point two eight nine Actually Jordan, that's the minimum coefficient of friction stronger would be better right now that ladder It was a coefficient of friction of that.  Down which way would friction between this part of the ladder and the wall be acting up? That's why we had said we have to assume the wall is frictionless Otherwise we'd have one more force pointing up and we have two unknowns up here. We can't solve it Not at this stage, but I did point that out. Okay, make sure you what? Yeah, in fact You can actually find instead as a neat question I don't think I'd be I don't consider it fair game just as a nerdily neat question You could find the minimum safety angle and that I'm sure companies have done lots of research on Example three Each ladder below is set to climb from the ground to the top of a telephone pole Which ladder will be the most stable one two or three and convince me look at ladder one. What's wrong with ladder one? Okay, if you're right here It is possible that your center of mass could extend past the base We talked about how balance is keeping your center of mass above your body above the base so No good Here could slip would you slip standing right here? It's actually as the further you walk the further you walk The bigger this normal force gets The bigger the friction force has to get and if it can't be big enough it'll slide Okay explain your answer using principles of physics I'd probably do a good free-body diagram and walk through this, but I'm not going to worry about that. Oh There you go as the painter climbs this ladder at what position is he most likely to slip a B or C and Stay on this page Can you see that if I added an extra mass? Still be dividing by five, but I would just have plus mass of the painter G Cosign of 60 and then times their distance from the pivot which means the further they get from the pivot The bigger a number you're multiplying by the bigger an extra force you've got up here The more it is that you're likely to slip turn the page homework number one or Seven I like number seven. I like number seven. I like number seven and I consider finding the force from the hinge on Number seven because it's a horizontal beam that I consider fair game if the beam was crooked That's the one in our notes that we said. Oh, that's overkill and or the diving board question is nice


This video introduces a protein science paper by Mahona Sarkar and Gary Pylac, entitled An Osmalite Mitigates the Destabilizing Effect of Protein Crowding. Hello, I'm Gary Pylac. Osmalites are small organic molecules that stabilize proteins. They are found in all living things. One of their functions is to counter stress, including dehydration-induced stress. The major osmalite in E. coli is glycine beta-ene, which is simply a glycine with three methyl groups on its nitrogen atom, making it a zwitterion at physiological pH. Well, the cellular interior is crowded. The concentration of macromolecules is 300 grams per liter, and they occupy 30% of the volume of the cell. The original view of crowding effects involved only steric repulsions, which implied that crowding can only stabilize proteins. Now, dehydration-induced stress only increases the crowded nature of the cytoplasm. And we know that cells make osmalites in response to dehydration-induced stress. This leads to a puzzle. If crowding is only stabilizing, why would osmalites be required to overcome dehydration-induced stress? Well, now Mahona will discuss our experiments and our conclusions. I'm Mahona. I worked with Gary to understand the simultaneous effects of an osmalite and protein crowding on protein stability for our present paper. We performed NMR-detected amide proton exchange with CI2 as our test protein and different biomolecules as crowders. This technique allows us to observe residue-level stability without any external perturbations such as heat or denature end. We have shown before that CI2 is stabilized by inert synthetic polymers, whereas it's actually destabilized by biologically relevant protein crowders. Here, in our protein science paper, we have tested the stability of CI2 in buffer, under crowding by proteins from E. coli cytoplasm, and then add in an osmalite to the crowded system. This table summarizes our results. We measured global stability of CI2 in buffer, in protein lysates, in buffered osmalite solutions, and protein lysates with added osmalite to it. We first observed that protein lysate destabilizes CI2 by 600 calories per mole. This happens mostly by non-specific interactions with the backbone of our test protein. Adding osmalites shields these non-specific interactions. This results in an increase in CI2 stability by 200 calories per mole. We could now say that crowding is more dominated by steric repulsion's effect. The effects now are similar to those observed in PVP polymer in a previous study. Also in this figure, you can see that the CI2 stability is color-coded by a rainbow, where residues with shades of red are destabilized and blue are stabilized. CI2 changes from red to blue once osmalite is added to the crowded system for almost all residues. We conclude from our work here that osmalites make the test protein CI2 invisible to other proteins present as crowders. Probably now, protein crowders behave as inert crowders and therefore stabilize CI2 by more of a steric repulsion effect. Thank you, Mahouda. I will wrap up by suggesting where the field is going. First, we need to identify the mechanism of what we observed. That is, examine the dependence of the effect on the identity of the osmalite and its concentration. Second, we need to measure the effect of osmalites on proteins in living cells. We have started along these paths by developing a method for measuring stability in living E. coli cells. That paper was published recently in PNAS. Mahouda and Gary's paper is being published in the journal Protein Science. Thank you for watching. Please contact Mahouda or Gary if you have any questions or comments. Happy reading!


Hello, and welcome to another edition of Drunk with Nintendo Power, a series where I try my best to film and flip through an old issue of Nintendo Power despite my amateurish filmmaker capabilities. We've covered Volume 25 and 26, so this time let's keep right on going and check out Volume 27, featuring Mega Man and Dr. Wiley's Revenge for Game Boy on the cover. Again, I want to thank everyone, subscribe to my Patreon page for making this happen. We'll start as usual with the mailbag, and the first letter here asks about the upcoming Super Nintendo and when it's coming to Canada. The response here is pretty interesting, saying that their manufacturing facilities have been taxed to the max to meet the high demand, so everything is in short supply, and they probably won't be able to get any consoles to Canada until 1992 at the earliest. What's the old saying? The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Nestor's Adventures comic sees Nestor looking for his mother's keys, but gets sidetracked when talking about the latest Robin Hood game for NES. Yeah, I always skipped looking at these when I was a kid. Classified Information features cheat codes for Hunt for Red October, and it details the warp zones for Battletoads, which can be found in levels 1, 3, 4, and 6. Even today, this is extremely useful information. There's also a tip to refill your items in Vice Project Doom, an Unlimited Lives cheat in Bart vs. the Space Mutants, simultaneous 2-player continue in Ikari Warriors 3, a Mulligan cheat in NES Open, and a Mega Man 3 cheat where you can freeze a boss fight by holding up an A on the second controller. Pretty interesting. The NES Achievers section shows up early here, featuring a lot of people who managed to finish Dragon Warrior 2. I guess the tips from the last month's issue must have helped. Counselor's Corner also makes an early appearance, and sure enough, here's another What the Hell Do I Do question regarding Dragon Warrior 2. Any time you saw simple questions like this regarding a game, you knew to stay away from it. There's also questions about the Stones in Ultima Quest of the Avatar, there's Battletoads, the Lone Ranger, and Bart vs. the Space Mutants. This must counselors are pictured here, and this guy's best accomplishment is that he finished Street Fighter 2010 with One Life. I didn't know what that game was back then, but now that I do today, I can confirm that that is slightly insane. This month's poster is a doozy, featuring the upcoming Star Wars game on NES. So yeah, people are looking on Ebay for this issue just for this poster. There's also a couple different contests here, the first being to design your own Game Boy, which I guess really means what kind of stickers and colors and stuff would you use to make your Game Boy look all weird. The other contest is to win Bill and Ted's telephone booth, now that would be cool as hell to have. Now playing in August 1991 has the fourth NES Jeopardy game called Super Jeopardy, a game called Triumph, Captain Planet, and one of the worst games of all time, Where's Waldo? Check out the scores Nintendo Power gave that one. And they're usually really forgiving, wow what a turd of a game. Interestingly there's also an ad here saying hey, Nintendo makes more than games, advertising stuff like books, and this FM transmitter that you can plug into your NES. I didn't even know this thing existed. This month's top 30, yup you guessed it, Super Mario Bros. 3 is number one. There's not much new to say here, it's just the same old same old, there's only two new titles out of the 30, Monopoly and Dick Tracy. The celebrity profile finally features someone who you might actually know, it's McCully Culkin, which features this quote, it's fun to be a celebrity, I really can't think of any drawbacks, acting's the best, I think you might feel a little differently today. PacWatch previews BioForce Ape, Nightshade, and Kickmaster, as well as something called The Consumer Electronics Show, yeah they existed even back then. The Super Nintendo previewed a series of games there, everything from Super Ghouls and Ghosts to Drakken to Equinox to WWF Super WrestleMania. There's a new section here titled Super Nintendo Development Watch, and it talks about Zelda 3, in particular the direction the story will take, saying the plot and story are more involved? Eh, I don't know about that. There's also a couple blurbs on Castlevania IV and Super Ghouls and Ghosts, saying the latter isn't a game for the weak at heart or the easily frustrated. Let's move on to the main features here, despite Mega Man and Dr. Wiley's revenge for Game Boy being on the cover, the big feature here is for Ninja Gaiden 3 for NES. Interestingly enough, it says here, rumor has it this is Ryu's final appearance, I'm not sure if they were saying this is the last NES Ninja Gaiden game, which would have been pretty obvious at the time, or just the last Ninja Gaiden game ever, or what. But it's an interesting statement in hindsight, but yeah, the full Nintendo Power treatment is here with maps and hints on how to beat bosses, like here where it lets you know to attack the mutant twin on the right first. There's also a section on Dragon Warrior 2 and 3 laying out a brief history of the series which is nicely done. In particular, Dragon Warrior 3 has more hand holding than I've seen most games get in Nintendo Power. It's pretty direct in telling you where to go and where to find stuff. You can tell they really wanted these games to catch on in North America like they did in Japan, but they were just too cryptic and confusing. There's also a feature on Dark Man, a game based off of the Bruce Willis movie. Mega Man and Dr. Wily's Revenge only get six pages, which is pretty dang short for a game featured on the cover, but I guess everything is pretty straightforward in this game. Remember, this came out just after Mega Man 3, so audiences weren't quite burnt out on the series just yet. They do reuse Robot Masters from the first Mega Man game though, so that's a little disappointing. Still, all the maps are here, including for the Dr. Wily stages. A bunch of other Game Boy games are featured here as well, like Final Fantasy Legend 2, a game I did a video on, and is way more worth your time than any of the NES Dragon Warrior games this issue talks about.  Finally, we get our first extended look at some Super Nintendo games, namely Super Mario World, Gradius III, and Actraiser. Again, like the past couple issues they make sure to stress that these games, Mario World in particular, aren't just NES games with better graphics, saying that Mario and the enemies and bosses have a lot more capabilities that just weren't possible before, like the ghost houses, secret areas you can unlock, the different boss fights, and of course, Yoshi. The overall map illustration here is fantastic. The Gradius III preview here makes sure to emphasize the sheer size of the bosses you'll fight, plus I mean the pictures here really give you an idea of how freaking hard this game will be, and it also talks about all the different weapons you can choose from. The Actraiser preview is interesting to look at, with hindsight, because it's evident Nintendo really had high hopes for this game, talking about the cinematic soundtrack, and the unique gameplay, but I think they recognize that people might be confused by the switches between what they call creation mode and action modes, so they carefully lay out what you're supposed to do and how you're expected to go about things. That was probably a good idea, since Actraiser is definitely a game where you're better off reading the instruction book or a guide before playing. So yeah, that's about it. That wraps up another edition of Drunk with Nintendo Power. I want to thank you for watching, and have a good rest of your day.


Okay, thank you. We continue to monitor the situation in Israel very closely. And the Vice President and I, and the Bukamai security team, spoke with the Prime Minister Netanyahu again this morning. And I'll be speaking about this this afternoon during my meeting with the Jewish American leaders. This attack has brought to the surface the painful memories and scars left by a millennia of anti-Semitism and genocide against the Jewish people. And this moment, we have to be crystal clear. There is no justification for terrorism, no excuse. And the type of terrorism that was exhibited here was just beyond the pale, beyond the pale. As I said yesterday, my commitment to Israel's security and the safety of the Jewish people is unshakable. The United States has Israel's back, and we're going to be working on this all through the day and beyond. But again, I apologize for keeping you waiting. Thank you, Becky, for that introduction and for sharing your story. That's familiar to so many families. This gets down to a basic problem, a basic circumstance. It's just about fairness. It's just about simple fairness.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's CaseBreaks.com, coming at you with a two-case break, 16 total boxes, two-case break of 2022-23, Bowman University Best Basketball, random letter break number one. So it's 16 total boxes and it's all random letter breaks. The first letter of their first name, all card ship. If you get V, yeah, Victor Wenbignamas. Big thanks to this group for making it happen and big thanks to the letters right here for existing as well. Let's roll it, randomize it, six into six, twelve times each. One, two, three, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. After twelve times we got John down to Adam and then six into six, twelve times for the letters. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and finally twelfth and final time. We got P, F, down at A, after twelve. All right, so John, you have P, F, Jose with H, Tristan, W, Z and all other letters. John, last but not least, V. For victory maybe? Stephen with C, John with T, Adam L, N, John with S, Tristan with D, Adam with M, Tristan with K, John with B, E, G, Tristan, J, John R, and Adam with A. Let's order these alphabetically and we're going to pause the video just for a little bit.  Letter trades are pretty rare but this will also be a trade window as well. So stick around, we'll be right back. All right, welcome back ladies and gentlemen. No deals were done so that list right here remains the same. Big thanks everybody for getting in on it, of course, on Tuesday 7-Eleven, random first letter of their first name. Two case break number one. I believe Jason Jaspie, who's live on Instagram tonight at Jaspie's Breaks, has another case with him if you wanted to buy personals one at a time. There it is. Good luck everyone. All right. I may be through the first couple innings or so, maybe the first inning, but you could vote in our poll. Who wins the 2023 MLB All-Star game tonight? Will the NL finally win? I think the last, what, four or five seasons? The NL has not. Is this the right break? Yeah, 2022. Bowman University. Oh, no, they're doing this. I did four cases a while ago. Blacked out. So vote in our poll. The National League, by the way, slight favor to minus 115, American League slight dog that plus 103-ish, depending on where you look and if you're into that sort of thing. If you're not, just let me know who you think just wins. 56% of voters are saying it's going to be the National League. Yeah, any MVP, you know what? I didn't put any, I actually don't have any investment on any part of this game. I should have had some investment in an All-Star MVP. Anyone have any thoughts on All-Star MVP? Yes. Julio Rodriguez, little homestown favorite. And the lead off bomb, Ronald Necunha Jr., like, wow. Garrett Cole told me he was throwing a fastball down the middle. Everyone knows. He told him it's up. Otani, your All-Star MVP odds, according to clutch points, I think they're using a special book. Are they using their own book? They're using their own book. Otani, plus 850, about 8.5 to 1. Ronald Necunha, 10 to 1. Adonis Garcia, 21 to 1. Juan Soto, 35 to 1. Vlad Gros, Jr., 35 to 1. So Otani is your favorite. What did Otani do last year? I think he got a hit off of Kershaw and they got picked off. Yeah. Remember that? Picked off by Kershaw? Yeah.    Getting picked off by Old Man Kershaw. There's a Mari Bailey, UCLA's own, going to Adam, letter A. Got a Caitlyn Clark insert. She's pretty good. Apparently a good golfer, too. Hardwood Warriors, Caitlyn Clark, letter C, Steven. We've got Armando Baycott. They're all card ship here and they're their first autograph to Juan Harris. I don't remember if he was drafted or not, but this will go to Tristan in the letter D. And we'll do a little autograph recap at the end of this break, too, along with any other sort of significant cards right here. You've got Matias Bozellas, 10 out of 99. Apparently this dude is supposed to be potentially a top 10, top 5 pick next season. The race walker did get drafted. He's been looking pretty good. And some summer league action is Caitlyn Clark. We'll look for parallels of her. This is going to go to Steven in the letter C. The fractures are not numbered. Caitlyn Clark, nice. That's the kind of stuff we're looking for. And GG Jackson, good game, Jackson. Going to the letter G, John Jackson. Is it mostly Braves in that starting lineup? Sporeport saying it's Braves versus American League. All right, the Caitlyn Clark speckle is not numbered, but it is a parallel. It is nice. Rex, as I saw a guy last night on Facebook, this is inherently the problem with Facebook, that just like that Julio card skyrocketed all Tony plummets, makes it off how people lose their minds during one game or one play. Get off the Facebook, Rex.  Although then again, if Rex wasn't on Facebook, maybe we wouldn't get funny stories like this. Idiots in the hobby. The knee-jerk reactions. I don't think they do very well in the stock market. A lot of times, that's why we see so many like former Wall Street guys kind of, you know, putting their spin on the hobby. There are a lot of shared elements there. One of those elements is patience. And just knowing a diversified hobby portfolio, right, don't just put all your eggs in one player basket. I thought Adolphe Garcia as well. Not surprised Vlad Jr. won. He was the second favorite, at least according to Vegas odds, was Judah Mintz. I did think Garcia would make it further, though. And we've got USC's Vincent Iwuchupu. Iwuchupu. That's going to go to John in the letter V, last spot mojo, 30 out of 50. That's true. The stock market is rigged. All right. Rex got that from another Facebook group post, a lot of the experts there. That Caleb Love Minidiamonds, not Speckle, is to 2.99, and we've got a Katelyn Clark Refractor. It's Caleb and Katelyn both going to Steven in the letter C. Is Katelyn Clark doing one more year at Iowa? I think she is. I'm sure she'll be a high draft pick in the WNBA draft. This guy's also supposed to be, I think he is going back to school. And there's Sky Clark. Reach for the Sky. John with letter S. This guy's another one who's going back to school, but should be allegedly a top pick. Fifth season goes well, I would imagine, but top 10, top five pick potentially in next year's NBA draft. So Tristan wanted to hold on to. Adam, what's up? But before the Derby start, you bet a dollar on Aurozorania over Vlad in the final at 40 to 1. That would have been nice. Facebook experts, they are real. Although I probably, this is a difficult one. Who do you trust, Morris? Some rando on Facebook or some rando on Twitter? Apparently, according to cloud services, cloud data number providers like Cloudflare and stuff like that are saying that Twitter traffic, ever since Meta's threads came out, has dropped significantly. I'm not sure what Musk is doing with Twitter, but yeah, I only use Twitter for sports now. Just put some stuff in their organism and Twitter lists and then that's it. I don't look anywhere else. Yeah, uniforms, I think they look better in the pictures, but seeing them out on the field, it doesn't, the teal ones are a little bit better, but I don't know. All right, there's Brandon Miller for B, that's for John.  We've got Zach Eadie, speckle, so speckle, is it hard to tell the difference? Speckle are actually dots, circles. There's Chance Westry and the mini diamonds are more jagged. Chance Westry, some more fractals on it, is that the right word? Letters C, that'll be for Stephen. Yeah, the dark uniforms look like they just got home from a long shift at work. I understand a sort of Tyrese Hunter to 1.99 for T, John. A sort of understated look, but it might have gone a little too understated. I have to admit, on TV it looks weird. When they released the uniform, it's like on photos, I thought it looked a lot cooler. Kind of going with like a foresty green Emerald City kind of deal, but maybe the execution is good. There's Victor Webinyama. I remember in Chrome, he's a short print. I think he's a lot more common in Best, but still nice. Summit Summerly, his first Summerly game on a Friday was not good, but showed some moments and then I think last night's game he was very good and they shot him down after that. Lauren Betts for Adam the letter L. There were some welcome to the NBA moments for Victor Webinyama. He's very skinny for his height, but he moves well, passes well, good basketball IQ, all that sort of stuff. At least, and I'm no basketball coach, but at least from my eyes that's what it seemed to be. It's Jaden Chute for the letter J, that'll be for Tristan. Jeremy Roche will go to you as well, but if he builds up a little muscle, Victor Webinyama just gets used to the physicality of the NBA, develops a Tim Duncan-y mid-range shot. If he stays healthy, so apparently here's one thing I heard about Victor Webinyama. My cousin, who also is a big basketball fan, says that like an hour before even warm-ups before game time, you don't see his feet here, but Victor Webinyama does a lot of foot exercises. So apparently, how did my cousin say it, like he'll be barefoot or maybe just in socks. He's without shoes and he'll do like walking exercises on just on each toe. So like he'll try to put more pressure on the big toe and then like walk a few steps here or there or whatever, and then try to focus on the second or middle toes and then toes on the outsides and stuff like that. So to kind of build up that toe strength, which obviously is good for gripping and probably good for your ankles and other parts of your lower extremities, so like that's what he does. It is sort of pre-game, pre-layup line routine in an effort to keep his body in shape in relation to his extraordinary size, which I thought was interesting.  Well for the most part I think it was relatively injury free during this crime, but yeah I thought that was interesting. There's Marcus Sasser for the letter M. More Brandon Millers, he looked good at summer league. Another Lauren Betts, this time purple, 250. Brandon Miller, letter B, that's John. He looked good at summer league too. Well as I see, I saw Lakers Jalen Huchafino also moving well, he might be getting regular minutes from the get-go. And there's Drew Timé, Gonzaga's Drew Timé going to letter D, that's for Tristan. A little cough drop here, we got Ashley Watkins, Minnie Diamonds, 299, Keegan Clark, Keegan's brother Chris Murray for Tristan and Kay, and Marcus Sasser, Adam, letter M. That's good, Anthem. Good Anthem. Do you think there's one company that has a monopoly on giant flags? Is there an official flag provider for Major League Baseball, for those giant flags that they unfurl at sports stadiums across the country? Do they make other gigantic flags for other countries? Yeah, me too. Rex is saying, I like when people come up with a routine for themselves. Yeah, that's right, Rex. Not everyone's the same. Everyone's body is different, everyone warms up in a different way. They often say that about how you shoot a basket or how you swing a golf club or a baseball bat. Everyone's body is different, everyone moves a different way. You can't just have a cookie cutter type swing and maybe assumes that that'll work for you. All right, we got Nick Smith Jr. for letter N, die cut. But Siwan Howard's kid, Jett Howard, Zach E.D. Minnie Diamonds to 299, and me for Tristan and letter Z. Jett Howard refractor for the letter J, Tristan and Adam will get the Nick Smith Jr. die cut. Mr. Bolton and Leakey Black. Leakey, Leakey, Leakey? Go on, Adam, letter L. Got hardwood warriors. We got Katie Johnson to 199, 50 out of 199. That'll be for Tristan and the letter K. Jaden shoot blue to 150. Letter J, that'll be for Tristan. And Jeremy Roche. Tristan with the letter J. Is that Edgar Martinez around the first pitch? 14 out of 150 on that one. Tristan, letter J. You get the Jalen Wilson as well. Ken Griffey Jr. Oh, no. Come on, Rex. Rex's phone fella is brushing his teeth and trying to catch it. Stream will rewound two hours, so I disappear. And you're like, where did Joe go? I'm going to realize, oh, right, I was lagging. Don't be a lagger, ladies and gentlemen. Now, usually the two hours is kind of extreme. But usually, sometimes YouTube acts weird. They just will automatically adjust your viewing settings, your stream quality settings. And sometimes that'll kick you back a few minutes. And you can just trade windows and contests and special deals and stuff like that, or just be behind in the conversation. Don't do that. Just always make sure you're watching live. It's good to just double check. Make a habit of it. Drew Timmy Die Cut. And we've got a Malik Renau. Lava to 50, Hardwood Warriors. Lava parallel for Adam in the letter M. Another one, Minyama. All of those will go to V, John, Adalia Boston, Speckle, and Jarece Walker. Why here is pretty good too. Tristan with the letter J. Also get that Jalen Cook. That looks like Miny Diamonds, yeah. Jared McCain to 199 Miny Diamonds. Tristan with the letter J. And we've got DeMar Langford, green for Steven and the letter, sorry, Tristan in the letter D. 58 out of 99. Two more boxes to go. You can still vote on our poll, ladies and gentlemen. Who wins the 2023? And it'll be all-star game tonight. The National League or the American League. They're in Seattle, so. The AL is considered the home team here in the situation. So far, Jaspie's voters are saying 55% are saying a little over half are thinking it's gonna be NL finally winning one. Is the all-star game meaningful anymore? Now that there's so much inter-league play and now even more because of the completely balanced schedule, should they change the format of this? Should it just be, should they try a captain in a draft sort of situation? Captain can draft anybody, AL or NL. All right, we've got Oscar right here, letter O. That's four, that's all other letters. Tristan with that one. Got a Brandon Miller, got a Frankie Collins, Miny Diamonds to 299, letter F. That'll be for John. Brandon Miller's going to John in the letter B. And Victor Wimbanyama, autograph. Last spot mojo, John Jackson got randomized to letter V, V for victory, and Victor Wimbanyama. Congrats, Adam, 41 out of 99, Adam gets Adam. You thought there were redemptions, you thought wrong Rex.  Stephen Carney with the letter C, 18 out of 25. Speckle autograph, Cailin Clark.  You're welcome, John, thanks for getting in. All right, final box of the first case. This is a two-case break. Another case coming up right after this. Yeah, Cam Whitmore, another Victor Wimbanyama. John should keep an eye out for parallels of that base card there, that would be awesome. Something to look for in the second case. Maybe another auto, that'd be even better. Nick Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore going to C, Stephen Carney. More Cailin Clark for Stephen as well. That's a refractor, Cailin Clark. And PJ Hall is your autograph.  Hans Emanuel is a mini diamond. So you can kind of see, in case you're curious, you can see the difference here. So you can see the speckle, circles, right? Little more jagged edges on the mini diamonds. And Jacob Toppin, letter J, gold lava. Tristan, 37 out of 75. All right, that's that for the first case, not too shabby. But wait, there's more. Here's the second case. Yeah, well, let's see what we got in here. Maybe some more stuff like that. Good luck, everyone, case two. I'm gonna put the auto mixer, it's sold out. If I can't remember. Ah, okay. Remind me again, after this. Who's this kid running the bases? If that was a constellations of greatness insert in the last box, it's a short print? Let's take a look. That's worth doing a look. Good warriors. It's neon. Flashing lights, what are we thinking of this? Flashing lights? It's Bowman masterpieces. Yeah, there you go, constellations of greatness. Nice, good eye, Adam. Constellations of greatness speckle. Nick Smith Jr. for Adam, for you, Adam, and the letter N. Did Nick Smith Jr. get drafted? Please be drafted. He is a professional basketball player for the Charlotte Hornets. He was the late first round, picked 27th overall. Oh no! Thomas, you almost had it. I don't know if anyone heard earlier, but Thomas had first batter home run. I had Ronald Cunha lead off bomb. Lead off bomb. What a bum, warning track power. First box of the second case, and away we go. We got Felix Okpara to 299 for the letter F. That'll be for John. Mini diamonds, Caitlin Clark refractor for Stephen Carney, letter C. And we got Chris Livingston, I presume, going to Stephen in the letter C. Right, yeah, that guy on Rex's Facebook is gonna be typing about how Okunha value plummeting.  Jordan Walsh to 250, that's for letter J, Tristan. I mean, it plays like that, and I keep people interested in watching this game. There's a base, Caitlin Clark, and there's your autograph, Frankie Collins, letter F. That'll be for John. It slipped on my shoulder weird. She ended up. Are there doing, all right, do we have any special commercials for all, sir? Is it like the Super Bowl where, make sure advertising rates are a little bit higher. What game is this? Final Fantasy? Wow, that looked kind of intense. Do I have to buy a PlayStation 5? Should we take a glance at Summer League scores while we're doing this basketball related break? You got two games in the books, Nets beat the Bucks 92 to 71. Any notable standouts here? Duke Jr. with 24 points, plus 35. Wow, if any other names are jumping out at me here. What about on the Bucks side? It doesn't look like they did very well if they're only scoring 71 points. Chris Livingston, whose auto we just pulled, right? Not a good game for him, nine, oh, it's all right. Game 24 minutes, nine points, five rebounds, a few assists and a steal, but a minus 32 on that plus minus. Marjon Beauchamp, who's actually looking like he was gonna be lighting it up, has gone Ofer. Oh, 23 minutes, Ofer five from the field, Ofer three from three. No field, field was fee free throws attempted. We got Hansel Emmanuel to 199. That'll be for H, that'll be for Jose. Yeah, come on Joe's shoulder. No, it's all my fault Rex. I think I just slept awkwardly on my shoulder. There's Kiki Rice, letter K Tristan, 68 out of 75. Gold Lava, another one Minyama base. Maybe we'll see some parallels here. Elia Boston, Jordan Walsh for the letter J to 250, Tristan. Now, I want everyone's opinions, especially if you watch a lot of baseball. So Joe Davis does play-by-play for Fox, the big games on Fox and the World Series for baseball. He also, his other job, his main job, I think, is play-by-play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, my team. So I hear them all the time and there's Donovan Klingon. Now, I'm not sure if I like John Smoltz as the color commentator, but definitely like Joe Davis's play-by-play. What does everyone else think? Tristan with letter D. People like Joe Davis as a play-by-play guy for Fox Baseball. Rockets beat the Thunder 105 to 92. We're talking about Cam Whitmore, not too long ago, for the Rockets, 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steal, that's pretty good, 34 minutes of work. Hudgens had 26 points, Mayer had 19 points. And 10 rebounds. On the Thunder side, I don't know if they're really playing Chut Holmstrom too much, right? I think he played a game. So we got Shackleford with 16 points, KJ Willings with 19 points and 13 rebounds. That's pretty nice. It could be, okay, you see a team to just look out for in general. That gown strikes out of time. A game in progress, Suns, Pelicans are in progress. All right, onwards. We've got Matus Vazelis, 41 out of 99 green mini diamonds. Adam with letter M. Nick Smith Jr., an autograph this time, Adam Koperman. He's a hornet. Has he played recently? He played my Lakers a couple of nights ago. Nick Smith Jr. with 11 points, a rebound, a couple assists, a block. Three for seven from three. The threes were the only shots he made. He's three from 10th from the field. Chris Livingston. It's Cam Whitmore, we're just talking about him. There's Oscar Chiebue, 197 out of 199 mini diamonds. Ooh, there we go, blue. Victor Wembanyama. It's gonna go to John Jackson. 108 out of 150. That's his weight, right, 150. There's Kiki Rice, Speckle. And Matus Vazelis, that's for Adam in the letter M. Like I said, this is the one to hold on to. I've heard that it could be. I mean, it's in some way too early mock drafts. I saw him in like top three. But that's way too early. Also saw Grady Dick play. And there were some dudes in their early 20s. Not much younger than me, but some dudes in their early 20s who were having a good time with Grady Dick. A lot of talk about him getting to the hole in a basketball sense, obviously, this is a family show. Penetrating the defense. Talking about his energy. Rex saying, okay, I know you rarely ever like my ideas. Well, it's not subjective. It's just, they're just not good, Rex. But do you think it'd be fun to watch a couple NFL and NBA teams play a baseball game once a year? Yeah. Yeah. You don't think you want MLB players playing NFA. I mean, for like an exhibition, I spun, but would anyone watch that? It's a notch above like a celebrity softball game, right? I mean, when I'm watching athletes, I want to watch them play their best sport at a high level. So do I want to see major league baseball players trying to play like a flag football game or something like that? No, I'd be just like just watching another group of adults that are slightly better athletes for you're watching them play flag football against each other. Do I want to see NFL players flailing at a softball attempting to hit one out? I feel like the novelty would wear off very quickly. You know, MLB All-Store game always has a celebrity game which includes athletes from other sports. Ooh, look at this. 13 out of 100. Pink Lava Victor Wimbanyama. There you go, John. So you got the autograph, the Wimbanyama auto in the first half. You got the blue to 150. You got the pink lava to 100. Are we getting warmer to a really low numbered hit? Low numbered car? Got a Brandon Miller refractor for the letter B and it'll be for John. Pink Lava. Some nice stuff, John. Just Lakers bias right here, we're gonna sleeve that up. And we got Jaden Zachary for Tristan and the letter J. If we build a rainbow right out of here, that'd be awesome. 36 out of 75. And Lakers Jalen Hood Shafino for Tristan and the letter J. Another Victor Wimbanyama base. And a Kajani Wright for letter K. That'll be for Tristan to 250. Now, I have zero interest in seeing Celtics versus Yankees playing a basketball game and a baseball game. I mean, how eagerly, Rex, are you tuning into a celebrity softball game when they do that before the All-Star, before like the Futures game or whatever? They've got former players on there or players from other leagues on there. How closely are you watching? You know, they do that for basketball. They're playing celebrity basketball games. Nice Jet Howard Redd for Tristan and letter J. Are you watching that, the celebrity basketball game? Which also includes players from other sports? Eight out of 10. Nice. It's your one hours kid. So you're basically asking for a glorified version of that. I don't think. Plus, I know this is more of a thought exercise, but plus, in reality, no team would ever let them do that. Like who's covering that? The insurance on that would be crazy to ensure the contracts of Jason Tatum playing baseball and then tweaking an ankle, turning, you know, rounding the corner at first. Also, I think the sports overlap, right? So when would you do it? Like schedule-wise, it just would be hard to schedule. When would you do it? Cause usually pro players will do like a celebrity tournament, but usually it'll be the off-season. All right, another box. We've got Arthur Columa, Aqua Lava to 199. There's Columa again, refractor for Adam in letter A. Caitlyn, letter C, going to Steven. And Duran Holmes from Dayton, letter D, Tristan. I guess we're in the top of the second, so let's end the poll. So from all the voters, people are thinking that the National League, 56% thinking that they're gonna win tonight's game. Well, that'll make it, what, five or six in a row for the AL. There's MJ Rice, mini diamond for letter M for Adam. Chris Livingston, die cut going to letter C. Katie Johnson, speckle, Brandon Miller, refractor, and a Trace Jackson Davis autograph, letter T. John Jackson with Trace. All right, three boxes to go in this dual case break. We're almost there, we're getting there. So one summer league game in Vegas, in progress, Suns, Pelicans. Pelicans are up 33 to 24 on the Suns. Any early, three minutes left in the second quarter, the first half. Any statistical standouts here? That doesn't seem like it. Matt Kovic on the Pelicans has 10 points, four rebounds in assist early in the games. All right, there's Corbin Carroll up to bat. I guess whatever injury he had, like a week or so ago is, there's nothing to worry about because he's playing. Two outs, two men on, first and second, facing Nate Ivaldi. This would be good for the hobby and the NL if Corbin Carroll, they puts one out, maybe gets an RBI double, clears the bases a little bit, that'd be nice. I don't know how much a successful all-star game performance will do for the hobby, but anything to add, little thing to add to the resume couldn't hurt. There's Trey White to 99. No, instead he grounds out. Trey White goes to letter T, that'll be for John. Derek Lively, the die cut will go to Tristan in the letter D. Another Victor Wenbenyama base, that'll be for John. Last Bob Mojo, working real nice for John in his break. All of these will add up too. Another Victor Wenbenyama refractor this time, and there's Jaden Zachary for the letter J Tristan. Nick Smith Jr., mini diamonds to 299. What's the strategy on, the sort of resale strategy on Wenbenyama? I guess all of this university stuff, you know, we probably move sooner rather than later. There might be some valiant holding some of the lower numbered stuff, but. And there's Leaky Black, letter L, that's gonna be for Adam. And then maybe bank that money for when his pro uniform stuff comes out. Contenders, maybe. Prism, select. All right, second to last box. Jilo, what's going on? Wow, Adam saying his base from this set still selling for around 50 bucks. I don't know, maybe the, I wonder if like the sort of, the history that Bowman best has will kind of keep that value, even if he's in his non-pro uniform. Delta, what's going on? So the Bowman you first was his first card, correct for Victor? First, yeah. I mean, I'm sure there were other trading cards of Victor Wenbenyama, from Top's Bowman, it's the first. You'll grade and sell base, says John. Jilo saying college football and basketball cards holding decent value in general. That's good to hear. But there will be a little dip once the pro uniform stuff comes out though, right? Maybe that's shifting. It used to be a very stark difference between college uniform stuff and then pro uniform stuff, but maybe that's starting to shift. And again, maybe with Bowman Chrome, Bowman best, all the university products, an inception university, maybe just having that sort of more recognizable, more history filled brand will help. That'll be interesting to see. Highest Mooner last year in Clemson QB, sold both 50, that's not bad. Julian Phillips die cut for Tennessee, Tristan, Adam Flagler to 199 for Adam Kopner, letter eight. It's a home run for the AL. Yandy Diaz with 383 feet. Here's Malik Renault and Caleb Love, letter C, Steven.  Well, what about Wembe Nyama though?  Tyrese Proctor to letter T. Racier Bolton Gold to 50. John with letter R. Mark Armstrong, Speckle, and we got Hannah Cavinder. Miami, Jose with letter H. All right, and the final box of this two case break. Thanks everyone for watching. And Rex, if you're listening, I think Nick Jaspy did indeed cancel a filler for that baseball mixer, so there's some full spots available for you and everybody else, not just Rex. And I think there's still some spots left in the final filler. Or maybe we're planning on more filler. I don't know, I'll give you an update after this break. You know, that's what I was just talking about a little bit earlier, Delta. I think we pulled the autograph of his and some numbered cards and base cards. But yeah, it's way too early to really be thinking about that, even before another college basketball season has even tipped off, or is he in college or is he playing for someone else over time? He's in high school, maybe, I don't know. But either way, now I'm curious. He's 18 years old, he's 6'11". Oh, he's G-leaguer.  I guess he's gonna be with the Ignite. 6'11", 195 pounds, born in Chicago, Lithuanian background. Yeah, and I have seen some way too early mock drafts, having him top three. Oh good, you have an auto and numbered first from Bowman Chrome as well, says Adam. Yeah, Adam has all the M's. I guess you'll be watching a lot more G-league games than you thought at this upcoming season, Adam. There's Donovan Klingon, 19 out of 99 for Tristan and Letter D. Yeah, I don't know much about him, but from what I've read, there is some hype around him. There he is again. And there's Ron Holmes, D, Tristan. So this guy apparently is a consensus five star recruit, one of the top players of the 2023 class, according to a major recruiting service, according to major recruiting services. He ultimately chose to play professionally for the G-league Ignite, but he had considered playing for Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Florida State, USC, Wake Forest. Jalen Cook, Gold Lava to 75. It'll be for Jay, for Tristan. Got a Katelyn Clark, there's Lauren Betz, Katelyn Clark Neon, Neophytes. Insert. And Caleb Love is your final autograph, Blue Auto for Letter C, Stephen Carney. That's to 150. My allergy's driving me crazy here. It's been warming up. That gets my allergy all goofy. All right, this is also, yeah, I'll do a recap in a second, but let's do the Wax Party Invite. So not only can you get some nice hits for future basketball stars, we're giving away a Wax Party Invite and think about the odds here. This is a one in 16 chance at a Wax Party Invite. So there's some good value here. So let's gather everybody's names, copy everyone's names.  I don't have to do any other randomizers. Name on top after five and a one six times we'll get a Wax Party Invite. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, and a one, six in final time. Adam Koperman, congrats to you Adam. Pretty solid break and a Wax Party Invite. Congrats. Now let's check out the solidness of this break. Yeah, Caleb Love, pretty good. Jilo's pointing out. Got some other color on Caleb Love. Blue, green. Wenbenyama, refractors. Jett Howard's to 10. We're talking about, that's his Bozellas. Oh, it was your first one? Nice, congrats Adam. Better late than never. That's a short print right here. Kaylin Clark, refractors. Yeah, I really like what's happened out of this set. Jason Jaspy has personal box of this on Instagram Live. Check it out at Jaspy's Breaks. And of course the good stuff here. We have the Kaylin Clark speckle autograph to 25. Nice little number there. A blue Wemby to 150. A pink Lava Wemby to 100. And a Wenbenyama autograph. Nice stuff. There you go gang. I'm Joe for JaspysCaseBreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. And I'll see you next time for the next basketball break. Bye bye.


Welcome traders to another TimoCelso with me, Patrick Munley. I want to draw your attention to the dollar Swiss on the daily timeframe. And I've overlaid a pitchfork here on the chart versus the swing structure here, an AB. We have a C objective, a quality objective currently at 96.41 and you can see we have been consolidating here just below this descending trend line. So I'm looking at two areas of interest. Either a pullback to 91.20, bullish reversal patterns, long positions or a closing breach of the descending trend line resistance currently coming in around 92.30. Again, long positions initially targeting the 94.55 and then onto the equality objective at 96.40. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan most importantly, manage your risk. To the next time, thanks very much.


Now, do pay attention, 007.  Observe, I simply twist the cap like so, and we've talked a fair amount about Star Trek the next generation, a show that simply bleeds techno-optimism and a utopian vision of a united humanity exploring the universe. It might surprise you to hear that, although the show espouses hard-lined secularism on numerous occasions, the plot of TNG is a story about humanity going on trial for its sins in front of God Almighty. The very first episode in the first season, don't watch the first season, but the very first episode, the Enterprise crew finds themselves magically transported into a courtroom, presided over by an omnipotent entity named Q, who accuses humanity of being a savage species, listing numerous historical atrocities as evidence. Jean-Luc Picard argues that humans have evolved beyond these crimes, and agrees to be tested to see if we're still as barbaric as Q claims. Seven years later, in the final episode of the show, Q reappears in full Judge Regalia and informs Picard that he's been observing and evaluating the whole time.  Of course, anyone familiar with TNG will know that Q is hardly the sort of deity you want sitting in judgment of anything, let alone the possible genocide of the human race.  He's just as likely to kick off an interstellar war as he is to take you on a spirit quest and rescue you from the brink of death. All this is to say, Q is a long way from the sort of God we'd pick to give us an impartial trial, but what does that mean exactly? What is it that we're looking for in a properly objective judge for our species? In his 1986 book, The View From Nowhere, philosopher Thomas Nagel raises some concerns about that notion of objectivity, a position free from any influence of the observer's biases, preferences, and background, which any other reasonable observer would endorse. Nagel finds the whole idea of a perspective without a perceiver suspicious, maybe incoherent. He argues that when we make pleas or efforts to think more objectively, there are certain moves we make, rituals of thought we associate with shedding our petty individualism and observing the universe impartially, but he argues these moves don't actually have any objectivity in them, they're just thought exercises we use to feel more objective, while retaining all the bias and subjectivity we're supposedly transcending. For example, if someone gets the sense they may not be treating a situation fairly, they might take a step back, adopting a wider sort of third person perspective, contemplating their position as though they were someone else who's not personally invested in what's going on, watching things from afar. That certainly seems like it could be a more objective point of view, right? But if we were to watch someone who's taking a step back, we wouldn't see any magic brain power summoning an unbiased consultant into existence, we'd just see them thinking real hard, fantasizing that they're looking at the situation from somewhere outside themselves. This implies an interesting question. Who exactly is this virtual observer that they're imagining? What do they care about? It's a fair question. When I take a step back, I'm probably not going to imagine looking at my situation from the outside as a Malaysian woodworker who doesn't understand English and only cares about motor rally. I've got limited materials to work with in here. I'm probably going to picture someone who has my values and my interpretation of things. But, you know, more objectively or... When someone suggests that we be more objective, there's also an implication that we should ratchet down our investment in the situation, weigh our options without feeling quite so upset or head over heels in love or whatever. Nagle suggests that this emotional detachment doesn't really have anything to do with the objectivity of our judgment, but is a byproduct of the mental technique we employ to fantasize having a wider perspective, literally imagining zooming out, visualizing a little mental camera backing slowly away from the scene that has us in it. A wider shot contains more information and fewer details. And for some reason, when we imagine some observer looking on from afar, we imagine them with the same limitations of attention and concern that we would have in their place. I couldn't see or care about each individual ant crawling around on a particular tree, so when I fantasize my supposedly objective person taking in the scene, I assume they won't notice or think about those things either. None of that makes any particular sense. The ants and their struggles are just as real as anything else. But in my hallucinatory vision quest for objectivity, the further I zoom out, the less mental bandwidth I have to consider details like ants, and my own feelings about the situation seem smaller and less noteworthy. Again, that's not a feature of true objectivity or anything like that. It's a feature of me and my limitations, which I'm projecting onto my little thought experiment, which brings us back to Star Trek. The pale blue dot view of Earth is about as far out as you can get from terrestrial concerns, perhaps the most objective viewpoint we've achieved as a species. We've talked before about the overview effect, how people who visit space often come back with a vibe of having transcended petty things like borders or politics. It pairs well with the utopian message of Trek. Humanity rising above its petty squabbles over resources or ideology, looking out at the stars together with curiosity and wonder. If we take Nagel's argument seriously, that whole vibe is a simple trick of cinematography. It's very hard to see border disputes or political struggles from orbit. And even if we could, we simply don't have the mental bandwidth to process a world full of billions of people, each with a rich internal life and their own values and so on. Zoom out enough, yeah, all our problems look very small. We could zoom out even further. What if our mental camera retreated at warp nine into deep space and observed the whole solar system? No, no, no, wait, the entire Milky Way galaxy. Hell, what if we could make it omniscient and all seeing, oh no. Q himself exists outside time and space and has regarded the universe and its various life forms for eons.  We started this whole exercise looking for someone more objective than Q because of his attitude. But it is the attitude of someone who can see more and farther than any human possibly could. What grounds do we have to accuse him of not being objective enough as our judge? We might not have been aware of it, but when playing the view from nowhere game with Q, it really seems as though we're trying to have our objective cake and eat it too. On the one hand, we're fantasizing about an impossibly remote observer.  If you chase that conception of objectivity to a sloctrical conclusion, we're kind of asking for a being who's so overwhelmed by the scale of the universe that they can't care about anything at all. On the other hand, if we imagine an objective observer who does care about stuff, it seems we've already decided what their values and characters should be based loosely on what we imagine we would be like in that position. Something like aloof stoicism, detached profundity, certainly not arrogance and silly costumes. We want them to have a clear conception of the big picture and to care about certain aspects of the universe, but only in the way that we've prescribed. None of this mariachi business. Q is a bit of an oddity in the landscape of science fiction, a being who is both superior to humans in many ways, but also monumentally petty and decidedly unserious. Many authors use aliens as a narrative vehicle for sober critique of humanity's potential compared to our track record. When visitors from another world land their flying saucers and offer us their perspective from on high, it is often a moralizing message decrying our shortcomings and frivolous concerns about things that don't matter on the galactic scale. That critique seems reasonable. I certainly agree that we have a long way to go as a species, but I think there's a tendency to fall into the objectivity trap that Nagel is highlighting. To imagine that simply because these fictional visitors view Earth from the heavens, their thoughts about how we ought to be should have any more weight than yours or mine. There's no reason an alien's opinions must be insightful or accurate, even if they wield god-like technology. For every klatu or starman lamenting humanity's violence, there may as well be a Klingon or a predator who thinks we're wimps who should butcher each other for the sake of honor. Science fiction is a great vehicle for probing the things we take for granted about our world, using fantastic scenarios to force us to examine our culture and society from new perspectives. But Q is a great example of how, even with the most extreme superhuman perspective, it's still worth asking what kind of person is doing the perceiving and what their deal is. Do you think that science fiction tends to lean a little heavily on the supposed view from nowhere that Nagel's worried about? What's your favorite Q costume? Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think. Thank you very much for watching. Don't forget to blah, blah, subscribe, blah, share, and don't stop thinking.

So my story begins on February 14th, 2016. One of my best friends died by suicide. He was 18. I was 19 at the time. I went about two or three weeks just kind of not talking to anybody, angry, filled with all these different emotions, sadness, distancing myself, and basically blaming myself for what had happened.   I drank. Another coping mechanism was fighting. It was fighting quite a bit. That was the first time I was hospitalized for anxiety and depression and thoughts of suicide. I didn't really believe in getting help. I kind of thought it kind of showed that I wasn't as strong as I should be, especially being in the military. So I kind of weaseled my way through, said I was fine. Got done with what I needed to do and was let go. And then another incident occurred where an NCO from my previous unit had actually died from suicide. And that was kind of like the unveiling of everything that occurred. And I ended up getting hospitalized for the second time. This time, however, was a little bit different. I didn't want to hurt anymore. I didn't want to feel that pain anymore, that sadness. I was kind of sick of it. I was sick of it taking control of my life and I wanted to change my life for the better. So I listened to what I had to do, went through the process of getting help, taking the medication, listening to what others had to say, and kind of building myself to be the person I am today. Not only am I a better person, I'm a better soldier.  I feel a little bit more confident. I used to be scared of everything, scared of little things. My anxiety was what stopped me from doing the things that I love to do. I was really nervous about the second time being hospitalized for the fact that the military now kind of knew what it was going on in my life. I was scared that I was going to lose my career, lose everything that I've worked hard for, what I've built up to, and instead it was the exact opposite. It was more of a supportive role they took. One of my senior NCOs called me every single day asking how I was, you know, how am I doing and what can he do to help me. Another junior NCO was right there, right along the way. When I was at my low point, I didn't think anybody cared. I was all alone, no brothers, no sisters. Dad always working, mom not in the picture. I had to figure this out on my own. I've never been more wrong in my life. Don't treat the soldier like a liability just because they had a low point. To be honest, they're probably going to be some of your strongest leaders. Now they have an experience that they can share with either the junior enlisted, their peers, or even leaders themselves. So we wear this uniform to serve. And basically when you're in a time of need and a time of sadness or grief, you can't perform to the extent that you want to. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to feel down. It's okay to hurt. It's not okay to quit.


I love South Africa, it's really pretty much my passion. And I am a photographer, so maybe I'm not always eloquent in where I speak and I might stumble at times. And the fact that I'm speaking to an audience that there's Suwetans here and I am speaking about Suweta is also intimidating. But let's go. The first person, the work that I'm gonna show you is my work that I did on Suweta. It was shot in 2009 and 2010. The first woman I met was Sibongelio Mazabucco from Josie FM 105.8, and she said to me, Suweta is like Hollywood to me. Everything is here. There is no longer a need to go to the other side of town. Wow, that was the beginning.  And he said he had been going to all the bookstores looking for a contemporary book on Suweta and he couldn't find one. He said with the World Cup coming up, why wouldn't I do one? So I thought, okay, that's not a bad idea. Another thing, and I'm speaking about my process here, more than about the individual pictures. Throughout my photographic career, I started at the Star newspaper. Basically, whenever there was a free moment and we could go anywhere to take pictures, I used to say to the picture editor, can I please go to the Star newspaper? I mean, can I please go to Suweta? And one day I remember in the late afternoon lights, some grannies came out and they said to me, what are you still doing here? And I said, what do you mean? And they said, well, the tzotsis are gonna come out, which are criminals because the sun's going down. And then they said to me, and what country are you from? I then fast forward to 2009 and here I've got this daunting task to create this project on Suweta. You know that there are over a million people living here and 32 different areas, so it's vast. And how was I conceptually gonna speak about it? Now, I have quite a thing. I come from the media, but I believe that in context to Africa or South Africa, I really believe that we often are given a raw deal. And basically, Africa and South Africa, we speak about war, famine, poverty, HIV, AIDS. And I wanted to create this book that was going to speak about what I believe Suwetans, how they would see Suweta. And so once I had conceptualized all of this, I drove for, it was 7,000 kilometers over a three-month period. And I worked with four different photographers, not at the same time, but by the end of the week they were exhausted. And everything, as you can see, I'm quite an emotional person. I suppose everything was only built by instinct. So I would drive along, see someone that I thought was gorgeous, and stop the car, get out, and ask if I could photograph. And if you know Suwetans, they love photography. So it was pretty easy, and compared to the suburbs, it was even easier, because where I come from, everyone is behind high walls. In Suweta, everyone is out and about. And then I sort of broke it down into portraits, into landscapes. Actually, the hardest place to photograph was the swimming pool. To get permission to photograph at the 10 swimming pools in Suweta was next to impossible. So this is actually a sign, an HIV-AIDS sign in someone's garden. And I wanted to take you away from what you already know. This is the backpackers lodge in Suweta. I found it quite bizarre that they've already like memorialized Nelson Mandela. Just take a look at a few more of the pictures. I thought this was beautiful. It's a portrait studio in Suweta. And then, in a way, I thought about the different kinds of people I would like to photograph. I photographed mixed couples. I photographed the old and the new generation, the Sangoma, and I promised myself never again to have a reading. Because I did, and she said to me that basically what was gonna happen was that I was gonna have a car accident. And I still had another like 5,000 kilometers to go. And at the same time in the Shacks, how people speak about that and the pride and the dignity that you find in people's home. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. And I thought this was classic. We have two famous football teams, Orlando Pirates and Kaiser Chiefs. And both houses were on different sides just around the corner from each other. Yeah, and then this woman was great. This is actually in Villacarsie Street. And she was trying to educate people in the neighborhood about snakes. And of course, I was introduced to bling and fashion. And maybe I did learn to dance in Suweta, but no, actually I know how to dance. And then subtly, I wanted to bring in the things that are important, for example, alcohol. But I didn't want to force it in your face. And then obviously the different characters that existed. And this really amazing guy. This man, I just pulled over, I nearly destroyed my car. He told me he was the best dressed man in Suweta. And photographing weddings was difficult. Because every time I wanted to photograph, it was during the peak sunlight. And then another extraordinary thing is that you have subcultures, which are bikers. I even ate a vegetarian bunny chow. And a bunny chow basically is it's half a loaf of bread.  But the vegetarians in Suweta have vegetables and then they sprinkle cheese on it. In closing, my work is not the full truth. It's part of the truth. And I really just hope that I can shift people who don't really know Suweta into another kind of atmosphere. And that you can think of it more in terms of home. And with pride and dignity. And the last picture, which is coming up now now, will speak very much about it. It's in the old age home that's actually around the corner. Thank you. Thank you, that was great.


For Oshun State Governor, Uyghah Uyitola has warned against any act of violence that could disrupt the existing peace in the state. In a statement on Monday, the governor condemned what he described as the unruly behavior of some aggrieved members of the party, which led to violence and injuries at the APC party secretariat. Uyitola also ordered security agencies to fish out the perpetrators and ensure justice is served. Meanwhile, the chairman of the all-progressive Congress appeal committee for Oshun State, Obede Wadzani has promised to ferry, treat all petitions from aggrieved members. So far, 32 petitions have been received by the committee. They are bound to be those that feel maybe aggrieved with the process. That is why the national level in their own wisdom decided to set this panel all over the states of the country, so that if there are issues to be looked into, the committee will look into and to ensure that justice is done. They should become, they should become, they should go back home with this confidence that APC is one, the national level has delegated us to ensure that we look into these petitions and make sure that every party member is carried on board. We have committed to them because we came here to see them and they are just depressed, they are just all of us. And this morning again, they are around to come down to listen to us about the petitions and we believe that the good justice, equity and fairness to all our petitions.
