Is that more of what y'all are expecting to try and do? I don't get the question. OK.  And like I said, make them make some type of, make them make mistakes. How top are they able to move to ball early as opposed to what you guys were already able to do back into the game? Like I said, we just kept consistent with our rush plan, just kept chopping at it.  With that quick touchdown, then they get into your end of the field before Dante, as the strip sack, and Michael recovers it. How big is that for your guys to really get that turnover when it could have gotten out of hand, or they could have built a real big lead real quick? Like I said, we just kept playing hard, keeping our foot to the pedal. Guys made plays, especially to take good rush, got the ball out, Michael's there at the perfect time. And like I said, we just got to keep capitalizing off those type of plays and keep grinding. Don't really think about it too much. You know, it's next man up. We trust the guy who's behind AJ.  But you know, TJ still played tough, still flew around. And we appreciate him for that. Yeah, yeah. No. I mean, we're still going to play the same defense. And like I said, next man up. Jani, I got away a couple of stories late, but what was it, what did it say about the unit that you all put at the three? And I got it, you know, with a chance to try to pull it thing out. Like I said, we fight, you know, always fighting until the clock hit zero, zero. Appreciate the guys for that. And like I said, we just got to keep striving, keep getting better as the season go on. Like I said, we're a tough defense. We just got to keep stacking the plays, keep getting better as the season go on, keep learning from Dean. He's doing a great job, you know, presenting this defense to us and making sure we all on the same page for the, you know, for about the end of the week. And we just got to trust the process and keep grinding. They go three and now, punt, score quickly. Why was Tampa Bay able to make all those plays in a row there in the fourth quarter? Is it experiences that they've been in those situations? I'll have to see the film, see what happened. But I mean, when we have those opportunities, we just got to take advantage of it and keep our foot on the pedal. Yeah, yeah. We're driving you towards the turnover. Things have changed after the first three games. Like I said, they're going to adjust. You know, we got to keep going with our rush plan.  And like I said, we just got to capitalize when we do and when we don't, you know, just stay on top and make them throw check downs. Like I said, just trusting our coverage, playing deep, make them force some check downs and getting a good rush.


Hello friends, welcome to another session of problem solving on finding the GCD using Euclid's division algorithm. In this question, we have to find the hcf of 72 and 56 and express it as a linear combination of 72 and 56. And also, we need to show that the linear combination is not unique. So if you remember what was GCD of, first of all, what are the requirements of this question? So first requirement is find GCD of 72 and 56. And second is to express GCD of 72 and 56 as linear combination of 72 and 56. So what was linear combination? Basically, we have to express GCD in terms of 72x plus 56y, where x and y are integers. And the third part is we have to show that x and y are not unique. What does this mean? That means we have to find out another set of x and y. Let's say x1 and y1 such that GCD of 72 and 56 should be equal to 72 times x1 plus 56 times y1. This is what we have to show. So there are three parts. So let us first find out the first part. For that, we have a table here which will be used to find out the GCD of 72 and 56 using what? We will be using the underlying concept here will be Euclid's division algorithm. So what was Euclid's division algorithm? So we start with A and B. So 72 is taken as A. So let's say 72 is A and my B is 56. And we divide 72 by 56. So if you see, 56 will go 1 times into 72 because 2 times 56 is approximately more than 100. 112 to be precise. So hence it will go 1 times. So hence 56 into 1 is 56 and the remainder in this case will be 16. So 56 plus 16 is 72. Now what happens? Next, the previous step B becomes A in the next step. So I have to write 56 here. So B comes here. This is equal to and R comes in place of B. So I'll write 16. Now we know 16 into 3 is 48. So it will go 3 times into 56. So hence if you see 48 plus 8 is 56. So 8 is the remainder. Now is the remainder 0? No. So you know that we continue this process till we get the remainder as 0. Now here again 16 will be put in A column. And here in B column we'll be putting the previous remainder that is 8. Now 8 into 2 is 16. So hence remainder is 0. So what is GCD? GCD is the last step divisor. So in the last step whatever is the divisor is the GCD according to Euclid's division algorithm. Okay. So 8 is my GCD. So what can I write here? I can write GCD of 72 comma 56 is equal to 8. Okay. So now let us go to the next part of the question. That means we have to express the GCD. So obtained 8 in terms of 72 and 56 as 72x and 56y. So let us attempt the second part of the question. So hence if you see from B there are three steps. So if you see I am enumerating them 1, 2 and 3. So from second step from step number 2 from 2 we can say 8 can be written as 56 into 1 minus 16 into 3. Right. So in the sidelines we can say that we have to express 8 as what now? 72x plus 56y. Is it it? So we have to attain the value of x. So this has to be obtained and this has to be obtained and then the second part is done. Now we can see 56 over here but you know we can't see 72 anywhere in this part. So what will I do? I will use the first step to express 16 as. So the same thing same 8 can be written as let 56 be as it is because we need 56. But 16 can be replaced by can you see this is nothing but 72 minus 56. In terms of 72 and 56 I have to reduce. So hence and this 3 comes down like that. Right. Now simplifying what we like it 8 is equal to 56 minus 72 into 3 plus 56 into 3. And further simplifying I can get 8 is equal to 56 into 4. Why? Because 1 and 3 4 and minus 72 into 3. So further rearrangement can show 72 into negative 3 plus 56 times 4. So if you see what is x value? So if you compare this one with this you will get x equals negative 3 and y equals 4. So this is the second part of the question. Now let us attempt the third part of the question. The third part says that show that the linear combination thus obtained is not unique. So what did we get? We get 8 equals 72 into minus 3 plus 56 into 4. So basically we have to find out another set of x and y that is x1 y1 such that 8 is equal to 72 into x1 plus 56 into y1. Can we do that? For such questions what do we do is this. So the same 8 can be represented as 72 into negative 3 plus 56 into 4 and you need to do what? Add and subtract two quantities so that the equation does not change. The value of the expression does not change. What do I add? I add 72 into 56 the same A and B and then to equate it back I subtract the same quantity again. And why do I do this? You will get to know just a little while later. So now take 72 common between first and third term. So what will you get? You will get 72 common and then this is minus 3 plus 56 minus 3 plus 56 and in the second term you will get 56 common and here it is 4 and minus 72 minus 72. Is it it?  You will get 72 into 53 72 into 53 and here you will get 56 into negative 68 negative 68. So again if you see we are getting again a new set of x1 and y1. So if you compare these two these two so you will get what? x1 is clearly 53 and y1 is clearly negative 68. So we got another pair of integers x1 and y1. Previous pair was if you remember minus 3 and 4. x was minus 3 and y was 4. Here it is and now I am getting 53 and minus 68. That means we can get as many pairs as possible. So if you want another pair of x and y what do you need to do? Again add 72 into 56 and minus and subtract 72 into 56 from here and you will keep on getting more and more such pairs of x and y. That means the linear combination of GCD in terms of the two positive integers is not unique. That is what was the demand of the question and I hope you guys could understand this. Thanks a lot for watching this video.


Hi everyone, Joe for jashbyscasebreaks.com coming at you with a four box break of 2023 Panini Phoenix Football. Pick your team number five, which is from a fresh case, right? There's 16 box cases, so one, two, three, four. Four boxes times four is 16, so yes, break five is from a fresh case. I don't think we have any more after this anyway. Very big thanks to this group for making it happen on a Sunday. Congrats again to the winners in PrismPak92. Mark, you got official last spot mojo before I pulled the teams for the filler. Thanks everyone for making it happen, appreciate it. All right, now let's see which four boxes we're going to do. Sort of an awkward size case in Phoenix. One can see me on this camera right over here. Let's start from all the way over here. I just want to bring these four boxes into the camera here, these four right over here, and then there's these four over here, and these four over here. So from left, all the way to right, we'll go one, two, three, four. If I roll a five or a six, I'll roll again, but that's the group of four that we'll do. You can see all the four right here as well. And it's five, one, two, three, four, five. We'll roll again. Oh no, it's all the way over there. Five, we'll roll again. Six, we'll roll again. Five again. Come on, Joe. There we go, one. We'll do that side right there, those four. Could have gone on forever. So then I'll set these back over here. Now with a little bit of luck, we might be able to do another four boxes tonight. It'll be a big help if some people grab some teams straight up right now, because after the break, I'm going to put the remaining teams into a filler pack. And 10% off the site tonight. Good luck. Some exciting NFL games today. We are running out of games. We only have one NFL game left, which is kind of sad, but also happy because that means we're on to the next season. As a Raiders fan, I've got a little bit of optimism, new GM, new head coach. You know, so there's some hope springs eternal in the off season. Ravens are mad. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens mad after their offense, sputters and loss. Yeah, I knew that the Chiefs defense was good. Raiders saw him twice this year, but I didn't think that the win would be... I mean, the score line was only 17-10, but it seemed like the Chiefs were in control the entire time. Detroit was in control for much of the game. They ended up losing 34-31. That's a heartbreaker as well. All right, good luck, everybody. Hopefully no heartbreaks in this break. Hopefully everyone in this break gets something that they want. There's four out of 99, Jared Goff. I'm going to set these aside. I'll save a little time on the break. I'll leave those after this break is over. There's Josh Downs, 36 out of 75. This hits all top load right away. That'll be for the Colts. That's going to go to Tristan in Indianapolis. Here is Damien Pierce. 002 out of 125. That'll be for Chad in the Texans. Zay Flowers, promising career ahead of him. And there's Marvin Mims. Broncos, what is that? A piece of the glove, maybe? Jersey and autograph from my rivals, the Broncos. Adam with Denver. 19 out of 99. 1999, Prince. We've got Jordan Battalion 250. That'll be for Chad in the Bengals. T Higgins also for Chad. That's the 175. We've got Brock Purdy. We'll see him in the Super Bowl, the 175. That'll be for the Niners, Michael. There's Trevor Lawrence, the 35. That'll be for Matthew. And we've got a playing through fire, CJ Stroud. Rookie insert. We're excited to see his evolution next year. Hopefully Anthony Richardson comes back healthy. This will be for Tristan in the Colts. Chad has the Texans. And it's a Gervon Dexter senior to 125. For the Bears, Christopher. Jalen Carter, 008 out of 175. That'll be for Adam in the Eagles. These contours inserts are pretty cool. Some of these can be numbered as well. And there's Roshan Johnson. Rookie Jersey and autograph for Da Bears. Christopher with the Chicago Bears. Got Anthony Richardson and a Bryce Young right back there. Anthony Richardson-Silver. Another one for Tristan in the Colts. And we've got a Bryce Young playing with fire, playing with fire. 136 out of 275. That's for Matt Kay and the Carolina Panthers. Hopefully with a new coach, new staff, unlock his potential next year. Quinton Johnson will have a new coach too. Kenny Pickett, new offensive coordinator. Jerry Judy to 199. New quarterback for Jerry Judy, most likely. I'll do a little recap at the end of this break as well. I'll do fairly quick. Yes, Gabe and I were just talking about that earlier. Rex. For the longest time, for the longest time, the Super Bowl was one week after the conference playoffs. But then for a number of years now, how long has it been? How long have I been doing this? Ten years? I think for a bit. They put a week in between the conference and the Super Bowl, so they put a full week in between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. So now they stick the Pro Bowl in between, which no one will watch. I like watch highlights on YouTube afterwards. From a fan perspective, I think part of me is in a rush. Like, all right, let's get to the Super Bowl, let's hurry and get to the Super Bowl. I think I do like the, Gabe was, Gilo was mentioning it too. It's kind of like the build-up that comes with that extra week. All the players say, here's Mike Evans to 175, all the players say they need at least a few days, if not a week, to try to get all families' travel plans in order, try to get tickets for all their friends and family, all that sort of stuff. And then they could, it's kind of hard to do that and practice for the biggest game of your life all at once. So I think the players are pretty happy with it. There's Evan Ingram to 199. Devin Witherspoon goes to Joseph and Seattle. This Evan Ingram will go to Matthew and the Jaguars. There's Jameer Gibbs, he had a really nice game today. That'll be for the Lions, that's for Mark, last spot Mojo. There's Zach to 250 for the Seahawks. Zach Charbonnet, former UCLA running back, was really good with UCLA. Got Michael Pittman, Jr. to 35. Colts, that's going to go to Tristan. And it's CJ Stroud, boring relic. But it's out of 50, 22 out of 50. I saw the out of 50 and I was like, is that going to be a cool relic? A couple colors maybe? No, but 22 out of 50. That's going to go to Chad, who won the Texans in the filler. Chad never wins anything. There he goes, getting the best team out there. To 125. Atta Barore for the Colts. Yeah, I'll take it, says Chad. And we've got Soss Gardner, two-color patch and autograph. That's Mythical patch and auto. That looks pretty cool. Is that Adam with his jets? Yeah, Adam with his J-E-T-S jets, jets, jets. And let's see if the jets can... I think everyone was so curious. There's the number right there, 17 out of 25. Obviously Adam, you know, and the rest of the NFL probably wondering, how are the jets going to look with Aaron Rodgers? And we never got the chance to see it. It was one play and that was it. But hopefully it would be healthy and we'll see him in action. Brian Williams to 175. Bills, it'll be for Brian. Bills have to retool. They have to figure out how to get back to where they want to be. There's Josh Allen to 175. Keenan Allen for the Charters to 199. Adam with the Bolts. They've got a new coach. And there's CJ Stroud to 125, playing with fire. We saw the base one earlier and now you've got what looks like the aqua parallel. You kind of see the different color pattern in the middle right there. There you go, Chad. And we got Luke Schoonmaker, the maker of spoons. Two color, dual relic and autograph for the boys. David Cowboys. 34 out of 125. Jim Jujusmith Schuster at the end right there. I suppose this is with any sport, but with the parody in the NFL, you're locked into different like class systems in football. Tears, if you will, right? Like there's like the bottom tier teams that, that's like to get to the next level of teams. It's extremely difficult, you know? And then once you get to like that middle class of teams, sometimes it's just, there's a lot of teams are going to be 8, 9, 9 and 8, you know? And that might happen for years. And like sometimes they'll win 10 or 11 games, sometimes they'll only win 7 games or something like that, but it's hard to get to that consistent playoff level. And then once you're in consistent playoff level, it's hard to get to championship level and try to consistently get back there. It's always going to be an injury that's getting in the way, you know? So on and so forth, you know? Or maybe you just, you just get there, you just kind of not be able to get past that next game, you know? Just Drake London to 150 for Atlanta, that'll be for Adam. Wow, the pink playing with Firesoul for 150? What's that number two? We did pull a Bryce Young pink. That was to 175. The AWK was a little bit lower number to 125, so that's a $200 card maybe. Yeah, remember, CD-Sharp doesn't have autographs in here, so the trickle-down effect, here's a Bryce Young. The trickle-down effect is that all of his numbered cards, the value, are shot up. Trevor Lawrence for the Jaguars to Matthew, which actually makes the... there's Travis Kalisari. It makes the Texans actually a really sharp play to just buy outright. There's CD-Lam. There's Bijan Robinson. And there's Tyjay Spears, big jumbo relic.  And then all the other relics and cards and whatnot, they'll all add up. Raymond with the Titans. So it's not like you have to get an autograph to make the money back. CD-Lam is going to go to Dallas, that's for David, and then Travis Kalisari will see him in the Super Bowl again, Chad Coleman. And we've got Overshawn to 99 for the Cowboys. That's Tiffan Diggs to 25, Brian. And we've got Tucker Kraft to 50 for Green Bay. Green Bay's on a nice trajectory. Hopefully they can build on that. We'll see Brock Purdy in the playoffs. And we've got Cortland Sutton. Nice signature highlights. The cracked ice pattern in there. That'll be for my rivals, Denver. It's going to be for Adam. Who are they going to get? A new person. A new guy throwing to Cortland Sutton. There's a Flowers to 175. That'll be for Adam and the Ravens. These guys both. Safe Flowers had a key touchdown grab, which was awesome. And then had that crucial fumble. I think Almonra St. Brown had a great first half, but then just a few key drops, I want to say, in the second half, which sort of derailed the Lions. So there's Pacheco to 175. Chiefs, Chad Coleman. We've got Bryce Young, piece of the jersey. That's going to go to Matt, Carolina. Any guesses on that redemption? 002 out of 199, Matt. Quinton Johnson to 150. 31 out of 150. Will Anderson, yeah, that's a good guess. He's a notorious non-signer. There's a rookie Otto Jersey Orange. Another non-signer is that is Jamiro Gibbs. But we got the letter D. Different player, D-E. Oh, Devon A. Shane. The Miami running back. Oliver with the Dolphins. There you go, Oliver. One of the Dolphins in the filler. What's up, Duncan? Yeah, heartbreak for the Lions, but yeah, a good day of football all around. And the Ravens Chiefs game wasn't as high-scoring, but had a lot of tension there, too. So, final box. We're only four box into a fresh case, so if you want to grab your teams in the next one, make it happen before it ends up in a filler. Yeah, we were breaking down the breakdown of the Lions collapse. But, yeah, it was pretty rough. That fourth and two play, I agreed with. They were on the Niners 28. They were 14 points ahead. Chance to really put another dagger into that coffin. You know, if they got another touchdown there, they'd be at, what, 31 points or something like that with the extra point. And, you know, that maybe really just took the momentum out of the sales. And their defense hasn't played well up to that point. So, you know, if they could kind of hold the Niners to three points or something like that, you know, not the end of the world, even a touchdown, not the end of the world. But they call a weird, I just didn't, I thought they'd call like a more safe play, but they called it sort of a, was it an over-the-middle slant or something like that to Josh Downs? It just didn't quite work out. It felt like it was a higher-risk play. I would have put it into the hands of, I don't know, a little tosto screen to a running back or something like that, run one of those plays, get an easy two yards, but they were looking for like six or seven. Didn't work out, fine, right? But then, within a minute and 41 seconds, Niners, bang, touchdown. All right, that's fine, not the end of the world.  First play, fumble, lost. Within two minutes, Niners, touchdown. All of a sudden, lines were days. It was 24-24, then they're three and out. Then the, you know, Niners run an 11-play, seven-minute drive, killing a lot of clock, get the field goal, six plays, and another fourth and short situation. Now, this is where I thought maybe you should just maybe take the, take the points, right? They were at the, or try to go for the field goal at this point, but no, another risky play, a deep right pass while Manra, St. Brown. Why not try to run a safer play? Just get first downs. Niners, bang, turn it around, turn into a touchdown. And by then, you know, they were pressed for time. Lions ran an 11-play, two-minute, they ran their two-minute offense, got a touchdown, but by then they had to rely on an onside kick, and that was that. That's how quickly momentum can change. Tony Pollard to 199 for the Cowboys, David. Miles Sanders, four out of ten. Nice, that might be the N and G of keep pounding, I want to say. Might have to fact check me on that, but that's what I think it is. Matt Kay with the Panthers. Nice low number on that, too. Looks really cool. That is some fire fabrics. And you got Russell Wilson to 125. Where does he end up? Adam and Denver. Got Bryce Young, and Anthony Richardson, and Rishi Rice, dual relic and autograph. We'll see him in the Super Bowl. We've seen him in the playoffs. Had a nice playoff run. That's going to be for Chad Coleman and the Chiefs. Rishi Rice raising his stock. 20 out of 199. That's good for the hobby. Yeah, that's how it went down. Niners just smacked him in the mouth at that point. Yeah, it looked over at one point. I think I declared, I think when it was like 24-7 at the end of the half, I declared that it was game over, that the Lions are going to win. Oh, that's Josh Count. Josh Reynolds, maybe? I think it was 250. I think it was Josh Reynolds on the Lions. Anyway, a Josh. Joe Burrell to 199. That's for Chad and the Bengals. Chad Dom. Got a couple different Chad's in the spray. Cole Comet to 175 for the Bears. Christopher McJones to 25 for the Patriots. That's for Karen. I mean, McJones is probably going to part ways. Nolan Smith to 175 for Adam and the Eagles. CD Lam for David and the Boys. Jalen Hertz to 150. Yeah, it was kind of like that. Kind of like Atlanta Falcons level in Super Bowl. And Roshan Johnson, three-color patch and autograph. Christopher and the Bears. 66 out of 75. Yeah, the pendulum went from the Lions to the Niners. You know, like in a flash. Zae Flowers to 150 at a nice rookie year. That's going to go to Adam and the Ravens. They got TJ Hawkinson, Hot Routes to 25. That'll be for Douglas and Minnesota. We got Jalen Waddle. He's waddling. That's to 175. That's for Oliver and Miami. And Nick Chubb is fired up. And there you go, boys and girls. Nice break. A'Shane, Schoonmaker, CJ Stroud. Couple CJ Strouds. The Sauce Gardener. Samantha Richardson. That was a pretty nice break, actually. Could this be the makings of a hot case? Let's find out together. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreak.com, and I'll see you next time for the next Phoenix break. Bye-bye.


Penguin Random House Audio Presents The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall Read for You by Nicholas Bolton Acknowledgements These reminiscences could not have been compiled without the tireless and faithful support of my editor, Mr Horatio Slapbiscuit, of my publisher, Braden and Wells, and of the many friends and acquaintances who have served to remind me of those details upon which my own memory is sadly deficient. To my long-suffering husband, I offer both my thanks and my apologies. I fear I have repeated several unkind comments Ms. Haas made about you, but I have done so in order to preserve an accurate record of events as they transpired, not in any way as an endorsement of those remarks. And of course, neither this text nor any other aspect of my life as I know it would have been as it is had I not the privilege of knowing the incomparable Ms. Shaharazad Haas. I have faith that we shall someday meet again. Chapter 1 Captain John Wyndham That I must begin these reminiscences with the description of myself and my origins is a necessity that runs contrary to both my character and my upbringing. My editor, however, tells me that my readers will wish to know how a man of my unremarkable public reputation came to be associated with so extraordinary a person as the sorceress Shaharazad Haas. I shall endeavour, therefore, to assuage your curiosity by outlining a little of my early life, particularly the circumstances that led to my arrival in Kelathraven and to my falling into company with the woman who would become my most trusted, confident and truest friend. I was born in the kingdom of E during the 467th year of the reign of the witch-king Justinian. My earliest memory of childhood is being summoned to sing Alas Must I in Torment's Dwell for one of my parents' friends. Such gatherings were frequent at that time and I never thought to question their purpose, though they occurred always after nightfall and were conducted with an air of peculiar secrecy. In any case, I performed poorly and my father was disappointed, as he so often was. As for my father himself, I will simply say that he was a man of strong principles and unswerving faith. He fought valiantly for his beliefs and, unlike so many of his contemporaries, practised in private what he espoused in public. Although his role in the revolution and subsequent part in the formation of the Commonwealth afforded him great power and influence, we continued to live simply.


Section 3 – Listed Authorities British Sign Language Plans Section 3 sets out Listed Authorities responsibilities in relation to the preparation and publication of British Sign Language Plans to be known as authority plans. Listed authorities are further referred to in Section 8 and Schedule 2 lists all of the authorities to which the bill applies. Subsection 2 makes an exception for any authority that is not a listed authority at the commencement of a Scottish parliamentary session. As a result, if a new body is created mid-session, it only becomes obliged to prepare an authority plan from the beginning of the following session. Subsection 3 sets out the information that is to be included in each authority plan. This requires the authority to set out measures to be taken by it in relation to the use of BSL, time scales for doing so and where appropriate, how, when and to what extent any measures to be taken in terms of the most recently published such plan were taken. Subsection 3, paragraph D, enables the Scottish ministers to specify by order any additional information to be included in authority plans. Subsection 9 states that any such order is subject to the negative procedure, i.e. is subject to anulment by resolution of the parliament. Subsection 4, paragraph A, obliges a listed authority in preparing an authority plan to try to achieve consistency between that plan and the most recently published national plan. In addition, there are also a number of other matters which an authority is to take into account in preparing a plan, these being set out at Subsection 4, paragraph B. Subsections 5 and 6 specify the nature of the consultation that listed authorities are obliged to undertake in the production of their plans. The consultation requirement is similar to that for the national plan. Listed authorities must consult those likely to be directly affected or who have an interest in an authority plan and take account of any representations they receive in finalising the plan. They must in particular consult users of BSL and those who represent such users. Subsection 7 and 8 enable an authority to revise its plan at any time, as long as in doing so it observes the same requirements, i.e. a set out at Subsection 4, as it did when the plan was first prepared.


Biziness man. Sama zote. Gani ni mihacha. Janzana, the great. The great Eddie Boutita, a comedian, creative director, writer and a business man. And a mogul. Ya chief. Chief in... Writer in chief of the comedy forces. In Kenya maafrika. Mi afrika. Bi hain every successful joke.  Ni God. Sosa una feel ni God. Una facheni God. Wacheni Mamboa God. You see what people forget when you are a creative. It's a whole ecosystem. When you are an entertainer, you are in the entertainment field. So you create in art. So it's not limited. There is that one thing that you can do better. That's a special purpose vehicle to the rest. So maybe you are a good musician. You are very good at singing. And maybe you also have talents in writing music. You can write for other people. Maybe you have an eye or an ear to know a hit song. You can help and guide other people. And all these things can be separate jobs in the entertainment industry. So me as a comedian. That is the first thing that I came with. That's how people knew me. And that's what I do full time. But I'm sad that I can also write for people. Direct for people. And the entire industry. So it's an ecosystem. Now Boutita of course we are here.  You can be a PR guru. Because you understand how communication is done. What it takes. So you don't limit yourself. You are within that industry. But maximizing your abilities. Yes. Boutita now of course we are here today to celebrate and reward leading sport in people and creatives. I haven't seen so many creatives. So I am not so sure what criteria was used to invite people especially because you are here. Why are you here? Did you get a reason as to why you are here today? I was called on my private line. And you see when you call my private line. It's either the government or you're my close friend. Atata atata atata atata atata watu wana kwa karibuna mimi yawana private line. Do you have my private line? Nyambia watu kweninu konaio. Mami yao employee Boutita. I don't have my private line. Naingin eh? We are a lot of creatives, same to sports, a lot of sports personalities, they cannot all be here, but those that are here can represent them, so I don't know the criteria but I was called and told because of the achievements and a lot of things that we've been able to do in the industry, maybe we can come for this event and share our experience and celebrate together, so but when I'm here I'm representing the industry, because for me I believe anything I do I don't do it alone. May I feel like, I don't know if that's how to say it's your calling, may I feel like my calling is growing others, so when I'm here I feel like a lot of people are represented. Now talking about representing creatives butita, Talanta Hela had nominated renowned artists, renowned celebrities but that nomination was revoked. What are you expecting from what is coming now after that? And how do you actually feel when you know those renowned artists nominations were revoked? I think first the revocation, maybe the basis of it is what we don't know all of us. Someone took the case to court also because of how it was formed, issues of maybe gender representation, disability, people with disability being represented, so maybe I felt like maybe they revoked that to reconstitute. It's not that the people that were there were not capable, I feel like maybe they want to restructure the Talanta, the council or the committee, but I wish everyone that was there would be retained because they had started something and I was looking forward to see their potential and what they can do. So if they are retained better and if they are adding other people maybe they can look into the things that the court led someone appealing in court. In the spirit of celebrating leading sports people, who is your sports person of all times? I know they have achieved, I know so many things but who is that person? When you say of all times, you know of all times you are back dating? Yes I am. That's from Kitambo. According to you, nim ga nim moja un eza se manye un nim noma? All time, all time, ay! All time, ok mi na listi wa tu wa noma. Before I came here I was watching an interview by Larry Maddo African Voices for Faith Kipiagon. The lady was breaking records after every one week. I felt like her story is so inspirational. So being a lady and I see she broke a record after just after giving birth. And you see normally in Africa it's perceived that if you are a lady and you start the journey of motherhood you tend to leave the other part of you. The other part of your career and focus comes to family and that was phenomenal to see her breaking record and she's a young mum. So I feel like I'll give my flowers to her but that doesn't mean that the rest are not part of my winners. I respect Elid Kipchoge because of one thing. Do you know Elid Kipchoge is a global star? In streets of London he can't just walk there. Who do you idolize internationally? The one who is doing an interview. I'm not thinking right now about it. I'll give you an example or name for me a top world star. Jay Z. Jay Z you see because a person like Jay Z would meet Kipchoge. Kipchoge is a star. Kipchoge is so big internationally. We don't have Jackson. So I feel like I'll give my flowers to greatsana. And for me let them get my flowers. Just broke a record. A juzi and a machine. Global stars and that's what I feel. I feel like the creative industry also want to be on that level. But that is a musician, comedian, actor, actress. I think the only industry in Kenya that are represented as in terms of talent to the international platform very well. We are athletes. Miki Malizia, how do you feel about C.S. Ababuna Moamba being the person we are heading this talent initiative? How do you feel about his skills and his capability? We've had a lot of conversations with Waziri in terms of sports and arts. And one thing I can say is that it's in safe hands because it relates to these things. You know explaining the issues of creative and sports to a person who does not relate to those issues can be very difficult. But somehow C.S. has been instrumental. He understands how the creative industry works. He's accommodating to new ideas and is very open. Niki takaku muwana kesho. Ata komedianiote, musicianiote, aktayote ki takaku wanda kuna waziri. Ata muwana, ata present ideas zake. So for me I feel it's the right person in terms of moving this boat. And I wish him well, I wish that we can work together and share ideas and make this thing great. Butita Niki Malizia, last question. What is that one thing people misunderstand about you? One thing that people misunderstand about me. No, they don't misunderstand me. I don't have something to be misunderstood about me. But I feel like naturally human beings. The first impression, if I look at you, the first impression. If I look at... Niaje, manja mazasana takawana rekode. If I look at Sule, if I look at Denya, if I look at this Claudia. There's an atmosphere you create as a human being when you meet people. This atmosphere normally might not define the real person. Maybe someone can be very good than you see, or someone can be very bad than you think. Mostly this atmosphere is a defense mechanism that automatically comes out. Like we say there are people who are shy and there are people who are... Let's say, as an example.  So naturally, your body creates this defense mechanism because you fear people in your space. So you end up preparing. Isn't it natural if it was a fight or not?  The defense mechanism is created by you. You have to be secure in your space. So anything that people misunderstand about people, I think it's fiction. When I see you the first impression, I put it aside and I'll try to find the real you. So if you have misunderstood me on anything, put it aside, find the real me. Anything you see at the first impression is the defense mechanism of the real person. And it's natural. You can't create it at the same time. There is a bird that goes to the water to eat fish. You know that bird. So you know that bird when those birds kitambo before they started eating fish. They used to have feathers that when they hold water, kama kingiza kukukishamaji na kwa wet sana. So now when they used to dive to look for fish, makosa food, naturally the new offsprings had feathers that are slippery. So now with time these birds when they dive in water and come out, water doesn't touch the feather. So it's a defense mechanism that was created naturally. So it defines nothing about the bird. The bird remains the bird with what it used to have but a defense mechanism was created. So what we fear creates a defense mechanism that repels people and they tend to use that too. Describe that. That's free master class. Clearly. Last question. I've spoken to a few people who've told me, say hi to your boss. We're here for season 2 of Anastoto. Where are you from? Anastoto season 2 is coming. I'm just trying to deliberate if it's coming back in later this year or next year. It's trying to weigh in options because there are other productions that we are doing at SPM Africa Studios and we are trying to see nini kujesai, nini andembele because we have a lot of people to grow and thank everyone who supported Anastoto. Everyone is a star at Anastoto. We cannot even work with them so well and good. Season 2, I promise, it's coming and it's dope. We are featuring people that damn! But we have new appearances. We have 3 new people that will shock the industry. We are also bringing someone from one of the East African countries to be part of it. So it's going to be great. Thank you so much. Let's see the masterpiece you create for Season 2. Creative director Eddie Butita right here on SPM Buzz. Thank you for watching.


wicker park 2004 movie review. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. Today I want to do a little movie review on a movie called wicker park from 2004. And now this movie is pretty interesting. It has a pretty good mystery style element to it, something that you don't know for about a good half of the movie. And this movie does lean pretty heavy on the drama and the romance. Now I don't mind a good romance and I don't mind some drama, but all drama and romance usually isn't my favorite aspect. But this is one of those stories that I really appreciate for what it is. And although I'm not a big drama and romance guy, I wouldn't want anything changed with this story because I really did enjoy it for what it was. You kind of want to know what to expect a little bit when you're going into it because it doesn't really make sense on why this movie is so good for a long time. You have a lot of classic horror people in this cast. You have Rose Burn, which is probably one of the first movies I've ever seen Rose Burn in. She's in the original Insidious that'll come in a few years. You have Matthew Lillard in here, which is from Scream. He's from Thirteen Ghost. He's just one of the most iconic 90s scary movie guys. And then you also have Josh Hartnett, which he was in Halloween H2O and he was also in the faculty. So a lot of people who were in the horror genre in this movie, but this is definitely not a horror movie. It's definitely not really a suspense movie. It is a romance drama. But again, I like it for that. This is what it feels like to watch this movie. So you're watching it, you have this spontaneous love at first sight. That's the first part. Then after this spontaneous love at first sight, things kind of get a little confusing and slow. Things don't really make sense. I saw somebody online say it's almost like the scenes are out of order. And I could kind of see that. It just, I don't really know what I'm watching. You know, the scenes don't really make sense. I'm a little bit confused. And then about halfway through or so, the viewer is let behind the curtain. There's something that's manipulating things in the story behind the scenes and you don't really see that so about halfway through. And from there, it becomes very nail-biting and intense because you're left behind the curtain. And these two people that you've grown to like since the beginning, because of this unseen force, it's almost like they're not going to get to express the love that they have for each other. They become so close to just completely missing each other forever. So just moving on to just giving up. And it just is so nail-biting and intense because you're left behind the curtain. And you're like, just please talk to each other, figure this out because you guys love each other. And there's just something that's, that's, that's messing with you guys can just please figure it out. I do think by the end, it was very satisfying. I just, you have to know that it is a drama. It's a romance. And again, it's a little bit confusing and slow in the first part of this movie. So eventually you'll be left behind the curtain and things will make more sense. But again, this is going to be for somebody who likes more drama and romance. And I also want to say I did appreciate Matthew Lillard in this role because he plays a person like he did in Scream, but he's much more grounded. He's much more vulnerable.  And it's kind of nice to see him play this role of being very vulnerable and like scared and like not always in control of everything. I liked seeing him in this role. There was times where Josh Hartnett to me felt like a cringy boy man. I wasn't too big of a fan of that. Kind of felt that a little bit in this movie. And then the romance to me was above average. Now, I liked both these characters. I did feel a little bit between them, but I felt a lot more from other characters. I just think that the connection between them could have been a little bit better, but it was by no means bad. So if I was going to say by try or pass, I think this is a definite try. This movie also has a very 2004 style feel to where it's definitely not 1999 and 2000, but it's definitely not 2010 yet. I don't know what it is, but these movies in 2004, they have a very specific feeling to them. But just keep in mind that it is a little bit drama and romance. So if you really don't like drama and you know, romance things like that, I would just avoid it. If you're a fan, definitely check it out. And if I was going to rate it, I'd probably rate it between like a 7.5 to an eight out of 10. I really do like it. Again, it wasn't my style movie. I wouldn't want anything changed with it though, because I liked it for what it was. So yeah, 7.5 to an eight. Have you seen this movie? Have you not seen this movie? Is there any other movies that are similar to this? And once you figure out the twist, there's not that many movies that are mysterious and twisty like this one. So anyways, guys, let me know what you think about this movie. We're on the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of you guys. I hope you guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully, I'm having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.


What must it be like to be condemned? To know that ultimately your life is forfeit, your existence insofar as reality will acknowledge it, abruptly far more finite than you could have possibly imagined. Humanity has never been well capable of reckoning with our own tenuous mortality. The terror of what may wait for one at the instant of death drives many of us into behaviors and beliefs impossible otherwise. For the terror of this flesh-clad impermanence is universal. We all, I am sure, wish to believe that we will be resilient, noble, accepting once we are perched upon that proverbial ledge, but history has shown otherwise. At best we can hope to leave a legacy. We mark upon the passage of time through our deeds and devices, but it is never for us to decide precisely what that legacy is. The subjects of this record were people, humans like you and I, thrown into the furnace of war used for their skills, courage, and altogether darker traits, before passing into the annals of history to remain there as a footnote of greater things altogether. They are a legacy of days. Many within the Imperium wish to remember only in lurid prose or redacted records, if they wish to acknowledge it even at all. There were tools, weapons in the shapes of men, who won for their lords a world and paid for it with their bodies, but not in their humanity. You know, then, this is a record of the Imperium's first genetically enhanced soldier, the fists of the Lord of Lightning, the Thunder Warriors of the Unification Wars. It is unlikely that the first Thunder Warriors were the Emperor's first feet of Geno creation. No matter how gifted a mind of science, as he was known to have possessed, this soldiery were as much a product of Terran history as they were of Imperial Artifice. In the millennia before the revelation of the Master of Mankind, the homeworld of humanity had been a torn and bleeding place. A toxic wasteland caught in the darkest depths of that epoch known to scholars as the Age of Strife. A galaxy-wide phenomenon, old night lasted for millennia, a time during which the vast interstellar realms of humanity were sundered by warp storms, sudden psycheremergences, alien invasions, demonic incursions, and dozens of other calamities. Old Earth, dependent on her offworld colonies for survival, swiftly crumbled into anarchy. The veil of civilization that the humanity of the Dark Age of Technology were so confident in ripped off by the sudden deprivation of basic resources. Whatever polity had ruled the homeworld, its name now lost to the grains of history collapsed swiftly, the planet breaking apart into the nation states that it had sought to place in the past. With no ability to harness faster than light travel, the pattern was repeated throughout the salt system itself. In short order, the various planets, moons, archaeologies, and habitats began to look out only for themselves, and war amongst each other for control over this resource or that. Earth and Mars, the largest of the system's regimes, vied back and forth for control of the inner planets, but neither could muster anything approaching a decisive victory, as the basic economies of each were shattering with each passing year. Approximately by the 28th millennium, all traces of advanced technologically powered civilization on terra had been stripped away. Without the advanced climate control systems keeping the planet's biosphere nominally intact, old earth was rendered a toxic, fume-choked thing, poisoned by the atomic weaponry unleashed by petty warlords, ravaged by renegade thinking machines and genetic monstrosities, able to do not but tear at itself in lunatic terror. The Age of Strife upon Terra was one of the barbarian descendants of humanity squatting amidst the ruins of once empire. The technology of the Dark Age prior could no longer be wielded. Few lived who remembered how, and the basic infrastructure required no longer existed in any meaningful capacity. Scraps of Techno-Arcena were now prized possessions of savage warlords and mad kings, ill-understood but nevertheless quite deadly. Weaponry is of course the most obvious and efficacious example that was oft recorded prominently in the scattered histories of the era. But no less relevant were the genetic devices and crafts left over from humanity's downfall. The species of the Dark Age of Technology had made gigantic strides in its cracking and weaving of the human genome. So robust were some of the products of this age that they still survive even to our 41st millennia, in the squat shape of the kin of the Votan. The situation on Terra however did not call for the creation of a stable mining cast species. It demanded warriors, super soldiers, and thus was the genocraft of humanity turned to the creation of monsters. Devices previously used for completely different purposes were forced to become parts in processes dreamed up by the deranged, vomiting forth horrors hitherto undreamed. Eras of lawlessness and civil strife perennially create environments where the worst examples of humanity will flourish, and the age of strife was, if anything, absolutely defined by these wretches. Those with knowledge of the scientific arts untrammeled by ethics, morality, or empathy found themselves prized courtiers for the rulers of these millennia. Supplied with all the life test subjects they could possibly desire for human life was the cheapest of all currencies.  They created monstrosities of flesh in their searches for ever more destructive human forms, often dabbling in esoteric warpcraft to further enhance their damned creations to often disastrous and fatal results. The cultural impacts of this degenerate science upon the populace crafted scars that would last millennia. Several modern scholars suppose that this may have been the birth of humanity's fear of the mutant strains amongst us, although one wonders how much of this is simply stoked by the imperial regime for the purpose of granting its populace another scapegoat outgroup to loathe. Much of the genetic heritage of humanity was shepherded off-world to the sanctums of the lunar gene cults, foremost amongst them the selenar, believing that the wretches of terra could not be trusted with their craft lest they dam even more souls to the fires of mad science. It is from this legacy that the thunder warriors were born and were defined by. Terran science of the genomic was in exact, a product of millennia of degradation and superstition. It had allowed the truly monstrous to prosper and experiment, creating monsters of their own. The genetic recidivist Basilio Foe, for example, was a product of the age of strife, an environment that allowed a man of his twisted genius to flourish, tinkering with genomics, anatomy, and the limits of both, like few ever thought to. We cannot possibly know the number of human lives sacrificed upon this malachian altar, fed to the gene furnaces of the behest of unrestricted barbarity. It is like eyes completely unverifiable if their lives actually bought anything of substantial progress. Certainly no improvement in quality of life was made. The geno-engineering of the Terran age of strife was a pursuit done for the sole purpose of creating human weapons. No effort was made to cure disease, for example, merely create even deadlier ones. Conquest, collapse, conquest again, the endless cycle of war for the meager scraps of civilization were fueled by the genetic soldier. Beast things unleashed as animals upon the foe, bloated near corpses swollen with the powers of the warp, mute flesh hulks maddened with pain, too far gone to understand anything about their reality. This was Terra. And into this furnace came him, the emperor. Even in those days this was apparently his title.  The earliest days of the emperor's unification wars are lost to the morass of history. Dates, locations, battles, all are far too difficult to extract from legends, lost record, and outright propaganda. It is unclear too precisely when the Thunder warriors first walked Terra's wastelands, for their fate was entirely bound up within the emperor's greater works. What can reasonably be established is that, even prior to the wars of unification, even prior to his revelation, the emperor, alongside colleagues whose tales must be reserved for greater and more terrible records, was crafting what would become his greatest feats of gene science. The Primarch project, the work that would ultimately beget the emperor his twenty sons, is believed to have been initiated as early as M29, possibly over a thousand years before the eventual launch of his great crusade to the stars. Even this is disputed, some sources claiming the Primarchs were only created once unity had been nearly achieved. Regardless of the actual date, there are others that point to the emperor's powers even in those early years. Custodies. Since his earliest appearances, the emperor was never without his auric life wards, and the sheer nature of the custodian's biology belies a phenomenal mastery of genome science.  In these days, second only to the emperor himself in capabilities. Their creation was as torturous as their numbers were small, however. A single candidate would require plucking from thousands of potentials, and even if they did survive the initial genetic conditioning, their further ascension required solar decades of precise bioalchemical augmentation and psychomimetic training. The painstaking increase of their number can be charted across Terra as the emperor brought more and more of the homeworld under his thrall. Upon the pillars of the Black Main of Nassau, one of the emperor's earliest verifiable conquests, our inscription stating he was flanked by four giants in gold. Decades later, the transnordic conflicts confirm there were as many as thirty. Their presence at his side, throughout the span of his entire revealed history, confirms the emperor's procession of fabulously advanced genetic science prior to his emergence. What he lacked were the resources and technologies to actually apply it. The thunder warriors were his solution to the conundrum. Gene's soldiery was needed to conquer Terra. That much is a truism of the era. He could create the custodies, but for each one was needed an extraordinary amount of time, attention, and resources. There were superlative bodyguards for his personage, but they could never be soldiers of the line. So the emperor did what all warlords of this epoch did. He crafted the most robust weapons he could with what assets he possessed. Any military general will tell you that the best weaponry one can have during a war is one that works. Finding the cardinal balance between efficacy, cost of production, and reliability is a fundamental principle when crafting tools of war. The custodies occupied a cardinal point in terms of effectiveness. No one could best them, but they were simply too few and too expensive. The thunder warriors could be produced from nearly any populace upon Terra, and were brought to their genetically modified maturity through robust geno-engineering techniques replicatable across a very broad technology base. While never reaching close to the prowess and abilities of the custodies, the Ligio Cataegis, as their high gothic name was ushered in, were orders of magnitude faster, stronger, and more resilient than any baseline human could ever be. While a custodies aspirant must be hand selected by the emperor as an infant, a thunder warrior could be any adult male from most anywhere on Terra, provided he was broadly free from mutation. As Terra was a no short supply of humans, or at least those willing to undergo the rigors of such a process, their numbers exploded. They were present in every major military confrontation the emperor fought during the first century and a half of the unification wars, against the Kievan rusts upon the severe ice plain, at the Siege of Abyssinia, confronting the Hoth-Grindal clans at Albia, and thousands more. One of the most brutal conflicts of the period, against the Mauland Sen confederacy in the frozen Nordic conclaves, tested the thunder warriors as never before, pitting the emperor's own gene science against his twisted mirror. The priest king of Mauland Sen was brought to death at the Battle of the Red Frost, as was his horde of cloned gene abominations and witch-marked slaves. It was reportedly the first time an entire legion of thunder warriors was deployed, and given their estimated 7,000 casualties, highlighted the emperor's need for them terribly plainly. Terra was a cocktail of the mad in the amok, but he now possessed the tools he required. The organization of his new warriors appeared to follow, interestingly, the tenants of the ancient Terran warfare treatise the Principia Bellicosa. Like the legion as a startes that followed them, the legio catechus was ordered into 20 legions, each forming its own specializations through decades of conflicts. The fourth legion, for instance, became known by the unofficial moniker of the Iron Lords, and specialized in Siege warfare. In a curiously close parallel to the later Astartes legion that would also bear the same numeral. These legions were all, again similarly, led by Primarchs, although it must be made strictly clear that the term applied quite differently. Thunder warrior Primarchs possessed no genetic relation to their legions, while the emperor's sons would provide the genomic blueprint for the legion as a startes. The catechus Primarchs were more akin to generals, renowned for their combat and strategic prowess, but not sharing anything else with those that followed them. They were, where possible, equipped uniformly. The signature armor of the legio catechus, the Mark I suit of power armor, became an icon for the Imperium by the end of the first century of the wars, despite its many operational issues. Unlike later suits, it was not fully enclosed, with only the torso and arms being actually powered by the loud and inefficient back-mounted power generator. Warrior's legs were invariably plated in simple steel or padded riches. Primacy of protection was given to his torso. Nevertheless, and perhaps as another indicator of the sorry state of Terra's technology base, it was still superior to the primitive powered armor worn by the early Imperium's techno-barbarian enemies. And, when combined with the catechus' superhuman strength and resilience, granted many a soldier the edge required in combat needed to pulverize the foe. Firearms were, initially, las rifles and auto carbines, replaced when possible by the Terran Bolter, refined through Imperial production chains to make it capable of mass production. Close combat weaponry was left to an individual warrior's preference. Powered blades were of course highly prized, but incredibly rare, and the idiotic sequences of inch individual Thunder Warrior meant all forms of melee weapons could be found in any given formation. Unification-era warfare was remarkably brutal, even by the standards of this hateful galaxy. A Thunder Warrior must expect to find himself in melee far more often than not. Stabbing, slicing, crushing, bludgeoning, whatever horrors the strife-torn globe may have thrown at him. The legio catechus served the Imperium well, after a fashion. During his depositions to the first provost marshal of the Imperium, Uwama Kandawire, the captain general of the legio Custodes, Constantine Valdor, likened the Thunder legions to the munitions employed by the early Imperium. Powerful, but unstable. Unlike the Custodes and the later Astartes, Thunder Warriors possess nothing in the way of psychological conditioning. Their crude genetic ascension process and the exigencies of the unification war's manpower demands left no time or room for anything even approximating memetic augmentation. They were effectively baseline humanity hot-housed in a soup of genoconditioning into superhuman physiology, possessing all the typical emotional issues to be found in war-torn traumatized populations, even before their ascension procedures reworked their hormonal, adrenal, and cognitive systems. Once unleashed upon an enemy, be it an army, or a population, they proved difficult to impossible to control in any real sense. They suffered from berserk rages, a battle lust that was impossible for all but the strongest wield amongst them to fight, and displayed, at least in Valdor's judgment, a worrying capacity for this state to be amplified in the presence of warp sorcery. This had the pronounced effect of rendering enemy populations exterminated rather than compliant. Once a Thunder Legion had broken the back of an army that opposed the will of unity, they would simply continue on their rampage, slaughtering the civilian population wantonly. According to the clinical opinion of Valdor, this deprived the Imperium of those that might still have been salvaged for productive employment, a particularly Custodaz-appropriate remark for what was nothing less than genocide. It became rapidly apparent that the Ligio Cataeges were tools of destruction, not conquest. To conquer, one must still have something other than ash and bone left to rule. This was further compounded by issues of their biology. The Thunder Warriors were severely prone to cascading genetic events. The process of their ascension, as previously mentioned, was imprecise, and designed for functionality, not longevity. Nevarje bodies were prone to rebelling against them, causing sudden and massive cellular degeneration and organ failure, all of which was rapidly and ultimately fatal. The briefness of their lives, not to mention their invariably brutal and traumatized pasts, and the nature of the seemingly ceaseless wars they found themselves fighting in, instilled into the Ligio Cataeges a cavalier culture of warriors fully aware that they were unborrowed time. The nature of their genetically certain deaths was a foul one. Blood might rebel against the arteries that carried it, or organs might start to devour themselves, or muscles might explode with breakneck growth, according, again, to Captain General Valdor. The Master of the Custodies felt it a poor way for so proud a creation as a Thunder Warrior to die, and it appeared that they felt similarly. It did predictable things to their mindset, existing as brief, fleeting humans. They became careless of operational considerations, such as the casualties or status of their allies, existing purely to fight on their own individual terms, many no doubt seeking glorious deaths that they would hope live on in tall tales. As the Imperium began to reach a degree of security, with borders being drawn and administrative structures beginning to prosper, there were some within its higher echelons that worried as to where this increasingly ungovernable military element would lead itself. The solution was presented at the order of the Imperial household. Production stays were ordered on Thunder Legion recruitments, ostensibly due to the unification wars now well over a century and a half old, very clearly drawing to their conclusion. The majority of the globe now flew the raptor and lightning emblems of the Emperor, and with the destruction or capitulation of the remaining holdouts assuming inevitability. In 669 M30, the remaining Thunder legions were amassed for an assault on one such regime, who had constructed their hold fast upon the heights of Mount Ararat in the Anatolian region. According to Imperial records and inforeals, the enemy were brought to their end, but the battle had cost the lives of every single Thunder Warrior, marking a noble end to those warriors that had won the Emperor so many battles throughout the decades of the conflict. In truth, the battle had been a betrayal. The Ligio Costode's detachment slaughtered the Cataeus to a man. It was an extermination meant to remove the problem the Thunder Warriors presented. In a civilized and stable terra, the ill-disciplined formations of the Cataeus were far too unreliable to be counted upon, and no longer fit within the realms of the Emperor's plans, for he was about to reveal something else entirely. Of course, it was not simply possible for every Thunder Warrior to be gathered in one place, and not even for all of them to be killed before some escaped. The fastidiousness of the Costodes was superhuman, but not even they could manage so thorough an extermination. Elements of the Cataeus persisted globally, hunted down now by strike sodalities from the Costodes' Ephoroi Division, but it was generally reason that their own biology would catch up to them faster than the hands of the Emperor. In this, the Costodes were largely correct, with several notable exceptions. The Primarch of the Fourth Cataeus Legion, Ushotan, who had been present at the Battle of Maul and Sen all those decades ago, survived with some two dozen of his closest warriors, and assisted Provost Marshall Candoire in her palace coup in the early 700s of M-30. Ironically, Candoire had been reacting to the possibility that the Costodes themselves had gone rogue with their extermination of the Thunder legions against the words of the Emperor, she supposed, and was attempting to bring justice to an arm of the Imperial military. The coup was ultimately defeated by one of the first deployments of the successors of the Thunder Warriors, the Astartes of the newly incepted First Legion. This Legion would further be utilized by the Imperial Government against other Thunder Warrior bands confirmed alive, as, laterally, with the 12th Legion Warhounds, who put down the so-called Cerberus Insurrection, wherein a group of Thunder Warrior survivors seized a prison asteroid. Being one of the few instances the Imperial Government deigned to record Astartes battling contagious, it is a sharp example of the disparity between the two strands of transhuman, gen-hanced soldierry. The Thunder Warriors aboard Cerberus were recorded for having killed four or five times their number in Astartes before being brought low. No matter the degree of experience, this, along with several other sources, indicates that despite their rebellious and ultimately fatal genetic conditioning, the Thunder Warriors were formidable enough creations to overcome their Astartes successors with apparent ease. This being said, the instances of Thunder Warrior survivors highlighted their true legacy to the Imperium, namely the Legionnaires Astartes. Astartes appear in many respects to be a design iteration upon the Cataegis, not merely an upgraded Thunder Warrior, but a new model whose strengths were built from the information provided by the Cataegis during the Unification Wars. With the trade-off of physical strength and resilience, the Astartes improved on the Thunder Warriors in every capacity. They suffered no inherent genetic instability, becoming functionally immortal. Their psychoconditioning, maiming their memories and personalities with imprinted thought patterns and belief structures made them superlatively naturally loyal, instilling a discipline the Cataegis simply would never have possessed. Their augmentations were many and highly adaptable. They could learn by consuming the brain matter of dead foes or spit an acidic bile that could eat away at metal. The core of their genetic structure was regulated by a cocktail of phagic machines and viral coating that is used to grow and regulate their augmentations and organs, granting a hitherto impossible level of stability to their biology, and most importantly, allowing for mass production. The Astartes were the perfect human weapon. With the templates the gene seed provided, the Imperium only had to expand its production capacity. The legions were scalable, and indeed the progress across Terra after their initial deployment proved. This scale could rise with the resources the Imperium commanded. Indeed all that was ultimately required for the Imperium to shuck the bounds of Terra and collect the manpower needed to move to the outer system was the facilities of the Lunar Gene cults, brought to heel in 702 M30. As one touched upon earlier, a weapon should lie within the bounds of efficacy, reliability, and cost. For the Imperium, the Astartes were just that. They were not without their faults, of course, but lying upon this axis they were considered the finest tools of conquest the Emperor had ever created. They were, however, removed from the humanity they fight on behalf of. If any Acolyte has ever had the blessing or curse to have interacted with one of the Astartes, this much will be immediately obvious. They see us baseline creatures as curiosities, understanding us in the detached fashion of one who has only learned about a thing from reading or hearing about it. They are unable to understand us. The majority simply will never bother to attempt to. The custodies are even further removed, unable to view the world through anything other than the prism of their own responsibilities. The protection of his Imperial Majesty underpins their very existence at a level fundamental. Everything that is, is simply to be navigated with that duty in mind. The testimony of Valdor records, from an interaction with the Primarch Oshotan, a remarkably different state of being for the Cretaceous. The Captain General is firm in his belief that the Thunder Warriors were inherently unstable owing to their genetic enhancements. Certainly this is verified by numerous other sorcerers, and their ability to degenerate into mindless bloodlust has already been discussed. But during the Battle of the Red Frost, when the two came upon one another, the Thunder Warrior at the height of his battlelust, yet still coherent and in command of his facilities. Oshotan remarked that this feeling is one that Valdor will never be capable of, and he was to be pitied for it. For all of Oshotan's barbarism, for all the violence and terror of those who he led, for all that they spent their brief lives barely clinging to sanity they were, ultimately, far more human than any that succeeded them. Candles burning briefly but brightly, and torching the world they inhabited as they did. They set standards for those that followed. They taught the Imperium lessons through their butchery and savagery, lessons it had professed to have learned from, and yet ones which history had shown were simply not. They were not good people, nor were they misbegotten innocents. But their essential humanity, is that worth marking? A larger question than one feels one has the capacity for.
