Good morning everybody and anybody who might be watching is my camera. Yeah, my camera is working. I didn't even test my Camera, that's I'm not used to seeing myself on the full screen I'm used to streaming on the 50th Street studio where I'm I'm in a square and I've got the 50th Street logo up there anyway It's me. I'm streaming live on my own channel for a change talk about Science fiction books and movies Who's watching I had two people watching God damn it. There were two people watching there and I was only one This is this is one of the reasons I don't I don't live stream on my own channel people People dip in and dip out within seconds Don't even say hello There's there's looks like there's one person watching somebody on Somebody on YouTube Yeah, say hello, please for Christ's sake Okay, that person's gone.  I wasn't playing fortnight myself. I was watching somebody else play fortnight and Watching them watch the Ariana Grande concert. It wasn't great. It wasn't very long But I was curious about it. I wanted to see it and I had people coming in to watch At one point I had three or four people None of them said a word none of them would respond to me No, none of them would say hello, and then they left wonder why I don't stream The last time I streamed myself here to talk about science fiction because it was a long time ago Yeah, I don't do it because I have no incentive because people don't watch and they don't they don't Interact Over at 50th Street. We have Generally have eight to ten sometimes 14 or 15 people watching at a time and people are people are talkative and interactive Not here I'm not here and I've been doing this for ten goddamn years All right, there's me complaining again Six minutes in all I'm doing is complaining I saw Suicide Squad yesterday I Saw the Green Knight last week. I wanted to talk about those. I re-read the old Green Knight King Arthur Era story. I'll talk about that. Hi, Carissa Good morning. Thanks for thanks for watching it. Thanks for talking to me One of the reasons I was just saying one of the reasons I don't stream on my own channel here is because nobody Nobody comes in and nobody talks to me There have been three or four viewers who have come in Right at the beginning and then they leave immediately And the frustrates the hell out of me Yeah whenever I see people I know streaming I try to Pop in and say hello at least pretty much none of the people I Do that for ever do that for me. I Think this is the first time I've seen anyone from From my 50-street friends ever come in to my to my personal channel There are a number of people who who know my stuff originally from My personal channels here who is who have come over to 50th Street. I Just yeah, I was just searching for the link for the bad Saturday morning stuff that I'm uploading to YouTube And I searched for a 50th Street studio forgetting that 50th Street studio doesn't have a channel by that name anymore And I found that one of the One of the semi regulars who comes into 50th Street all the time posted a brief YouTube video Saying that 50th Street studio is his favorite channel on Twitch. I have to watch that and see exactly what he says Yeah, I know you're you're I Assume that you'd be working while you're while you're watching Carissa I'm a little bit a little bit stuffed up a little bit congested. I started getting a little bit She says ooh that is awesome a heartwarming heartwarming, I guess yeah, I guess that's the way see what It's been so long since I've used to this Setup from my think-bolts channel. Well, there's my camera, too There's my image Scene to scene three. Okay, nothing I I post almost every day on Twitter and Instagram and Reddit and everywhere else about the reruns that are happening The reruns that are premiering on the new YouTube channels and nobody nobody watches them People tell me all the time well, you got a post on social media. I do that constantly I do it constantly it makes no difference. I think I'm gonna give up on Twitter and Instagram Just like I have in the past. I think I'm just gonna give up on them entirely Just like I gave up on Facebook. They don't make any difference Carissa says I always miss the launches there are two today at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Every weekday 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It is kind of a weird It's a bizarre idea posting a pre-recorded video on YouTube and having it and having it premiere as a live stream at a certain date in time It's bizarre Because YouTube is YouTube is mostly about pre-recorded videos And then posting something that's pre-recorded and having it premiere live. It's strange Yeah, you're usually in the middle of something. Yeah well In the last in the last 10 days or so I've gone to to I've gone to the cinema to see two movies I'm gonna have to stop doing that. I think it's it's getting too dangerous again to go out. I did that yesterday ate it I ate it Panera bread then walked over to the cinema and then went to Target and That evening I was feeling stuffed up and Starting to feel some post-nasal drip coming on and I have I haven't been sick in At all in almost two years and I don't want to get sick She says she wants to hear about both I Yeah, you're right it is neat to talk to other people all the video plays I Saw a suicide squad yesterday. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was really entertaining Apparently the Suicide Squad movie that came out Three or four years ago was called Suicide Squad and the movie that came out this week is called the Suicide Squad And basically apparently I got cuz I didn't see the the earlier one Apparently this is like a remake. It's like a reboot It was really entertaining Really interesting cast I've seen I've seen Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in a couple of movies now and And Her her portrayal of Harley Quinn is It's inconsistent and it's It's not I Don't know what to call it. It's not exactly great, but every time I've seen her Playing that character in the movie. She's made me laugh out loud and that's that's valuable Well, if the if you consider the first one fun, then I think you would consider this one hilarious It has a legit over-the-top supervillain which is missing from These superhero movies and it has appearances by all sorts of obscure characters Large numbers of obscure characters from DC Comics and they are all from DC Comics As weird as and and bizarre as they come across Yeah, you should see it I Recommend it the the idea that I would recommend a DC Comics superhero movie is bizarre Because they make the worst movies they make terrible movies I've heard terrible things about the Black Widow movie. I watched the whole Loki series And I'm always talking on and on about how you shouldn't support these Marvel Disney movies because they don't pay the artists and writers I've seen all these things without paying any money for them I Saw Wanda vision. I saw the Loki series They were both good. They were both worth seeing and then last week. I saw the Green Knight Which I wasn't crazy about the more time goes by the less The worst I feel about it and then over the past week. I reread the old King Arthur era Story I Remember us. I remember having to read it in high school Back in the 80s. I didn't like it then and I reread it now. I still don't like it.  He basically took this this silly aimless pointless Story King Arthur era story, which is really short story and shot it as if it were a modern horror movie like Like hereditary just that people enjoyed it is what I don't know why they wouldn't enjoy it.   Who passes every test gets everything right? He can do nothing wrong And shining golden armor and the story spends a lot of time talking about how great his horse is And There's this other There's this other king that he that he stays with For a few nights Yeah, Carissa the original story made no sense. I didn't like it didn't get it And you remember how much time they spent describing how this other king was hunting Hunting deer and hunting boars and how much it's a short thing and they waste page after page after page Describing in detail how he's hunting these animals and then and then killing them and then detailing how they They they hang them and bleed them and gut them and Yeah Audiences at the time, you know a thousand years ago, I obviously wanted to hear that or in the 1400s and And I've also She says I think I've blocked it from my mind. Yeah, because it's forgettable. There's nothing really to remember I've read that that whole Christmas bargain plot idea A lot of walking and riding. Yeah I've read that the Christmas bargain story trope was popular at the time so somebody wrote a Wrote that trope into a King Arthur story And that's why we have it so it wasn't even particularly original it was It was a trope that somebody inserted into the King Arthur like Like Harry Potter fanfic And then at the end of the story the You know, it's revealed that the big reveal is that the Green Knight was actually That King he was staying with who lived just you know half a mile from the green chapel which was not a surprise at all and But then he reveals that his wife who was trying to tempt Who spent days and days trying to tempt sir Gowan? His wife was actually Morgan LaFaye who was behind this whole thing They just toss that in at the end like why that doesn't improve the story The movie made more of out of Morgan LaFaye in fact they made Morgan LaFaye sir Gowan's mother for some reason and And he whoever wrote this movie they reversed everything Sir Gowan is a loser who He's a useless loser who can't get anything right he fails every he fails everything he adds they add all whole whole thing with With a band of thieves in the forest that he runs into Who tie him up and steal everything from him There's Good in the original story Gowan has no adventures of any kind on on the trick to the thing they added a story where he Stays at a he stays at a spends a night in an abandoned house that turns out to be haunted But none of that is in the original The The story says it has like two sentences where it says that along the way he and his mighty horse Encountered many adventures they hunted many deer and many foxes and and they fought giants and that's it The the movie adds an encounter with giants that I have to say I've never seen giants like these before I Do have to say that? But it's pointless it comes to nothing and He he Here's something that bothered me too. I Really don't like it when CGI Horns in on a movie that's otherwise not CGI and it's obvious CGI I really hate that and there's there's a lot of that. Hi Owen Owen Murdock Watching us on YouTube I'm waiting for Carissa to respond to what I just said about about to Inappropriate CGI That's one of the problems I had with the first Wonder Woman movie. It was terrible CGI Right at the beginning of the movie Completely inappropriate CGI the Wonder Woman movie anyway in in this Green Knight movie There's there's a little red fox that starts following him and he befriends it and it's CGI. It's a CGI fox and The way it moves around is obviously It's really obvious it's bad it would have been so much better if you know just Pay a little bit money to hire a fox a Fox Wrangler a Fox trainer The CGI of the Green Knight himself was excellent. I like the way the Green Knight looked in the old story he's He's uh Yeah, Chris is like I'm a hundred percent shaking my head In the original story the Green Knight is wearing shiny green armor He's he's a resplendent gold and green armor and a tremendous bejeweled axe and everything and his skin is green And that's why he's called the Green Knight in the movie one thing I liked about the movie was they made the Green Knight basically a nature God He's like like an ent or something and I like that but yeah, there's There's a couple of really shocking disgusting scenes in the film that I was like I was like Oh, did I just see that and I'm not talking about violence either.  I was like, oh I didn't want to see that Don't hire Owen. I'm talking about the Green Knight. I saw the movie Didn't much like it I Read the old the original story. I also saw The Suicide Squad which I did like And Margot Robbie made me laugh out loud King shark was a really interesting and entertaining character. Unfortunately, the voice of King shark is Sylvester Stallone unfortunately We don't need this to hear from Sylvester Stallone ever again.  I'll actually Do a screen capture that and watch a little bit of it I'll actually I'll live stream a live stream And then today at 6 p.m. Is the big Betty Boop and Popeye Livestream that I did a year ago, which has never been on YouTube until now Chris says, what are your thoughts on the whole Activision Blizzard thing? It's pretty ugly. Yeah, that's pretty ugly I've only read what I've seen people saying on Twitter So I don't know that much about it, but what I have seen is really ugly And apparently it's not just It's not just a couple of individuals complaining. It's Seems pretty real Yeah, Activision and Blizzard are not companies that I follow the the thing that's too bad about it from my perspective is that But in my day Activision was Making games for Atari consoles Activision was a small company that was created specifically to give game programmers credit for their games Chris says all the game channels I watch have talked about it link this crazy. I haven't been watching any discussions about it But yeah, Activision was created by a group of game programmers who were doing work for Atari specifically and They were not allowed to put their names in on the credits of the games and they weren't earning They weren't earning money from sales and Activision was making them the best most innovative games for Atari not just Atari and television Coleco vision They were doing the innovative stuff And they were all about to creators rights The idea that Activision has been reduced to just a name that any other company can buy Of course the same thing happened to Atari Owen Are you still here? Chris says that's what I think about on here Activision too. Yeah What about Sega is Sega still Sega? No, they stopped making consoles At the at the end of the 90s and started just making games for the Sega still the Sega company Yeah, Chris. So you're right. They're really just a holding company for Game companies in the capital. Yeah, excuse me.  I just forgot his name Carissa says they have some weird mobile games according to their website Sega you mean in the Mary Tyler Moore show I love that show Yeah, I didn't think that Mary Tyler Moore did anything before the dick Van Dyke show I wasn't aware that she did I knew that she was She was the mascot for hot point The hot point company she was a little devil character called happy hot point.  He won it for The music man. I've got a couple of days to put all that together. It's only Tuesday After tonight's Um, baby boop and Popeye premiere were you watching on Saturday when I was telling people that the all of the Popeye cartoons in the Popeye Marathon will be seen on YouTube tonight that Warner Brothers excused all of it all the copyrights Yeah, Carissa. I enjoyed those shows, too.  Yeah, well The uh, my Betty Boop and Popeye uh marathon Was never seen in in its entirety on YouTube because uh Because of copyrights on the Popeye cartoons But uh, all of it will be on on YouTube after tonight And they're worth seeing Plesch's Popeye cartoons are always worth uh, worth seeing historic I watched a video last night um These guys there are these guys who make CGI They they make CGI movies and they make videos Talking about how they make them. I forget the guy's names But they uh, they had an animator on with them And he was talking about How animators work he was talking about Animators from the golden age of animation and he showed He showed a clip from that uh That red hot riding hood cartoon that tech savory cartoon with the The first appearance of red hot riding hood And this is something I didn't know at one point the wolf The the wolf whistles at her and he he does the And he goes He does the the classic wolf whistle apparently that was the first time that was ever done And I'd never heard that before So tech savory invented the wolf whistle I did not know that now wait a minute Let me think about that for a second What year was that cartoon? It was 40 red hot riding hood 1943 There's a three stooge's film um That takes place in medieval times and all the knights in the castle are following the girl around And just walking up and down the hallway wolf whistling at her You remember the one I'm talking about had shemp in it? Um It looks like these are all from the 50s. Okay So shemp was making Was making three stooge's films into the 50s What else do you want to talk about? So it's just carissa that's interacting with me somebody's watching on uh Twitch it's probably a twitch bot Okay oan came in briefly said hello and then left There have been a number of other people that have come in and haven't even said the Said hello I finished reading a book Called replay by ken grimwood It was published in 1983 It says what if you could live your life over again and again and again It was a it was a nice quick read easy easy read well written And uh, I'll tell you what I'm never gonna forget some of the stuff some of the stuff that I uh read in here um It's it's like a variation on the uh groundhog day Concept except it was it was published You know 10 or 15 years before groundhog day It was published in 83 which means he was writing it in 80 or 81 and I have to tell you He correctly pegged the uh The reagan administration is the beginning of the end of democracy In the united states and the the reagan administration was only just getting started when he wrote this Chris says are you going to check out crypticon this year? I'm not going I'm not going to any conventions I'm not going to any gatherings of any kind Yeah, I have no plans to do anything like that I did want to start Casting and uh recording The video series that I wanted to do two years ago I started preparing the space for that lighting and everything Um I need more equipment for that Yeah, I'm not going to any conventions the the book that's uh That the others were talking about in my book group last night was called um I've already forgotten what the hell it was called Why does this take so long to open? Hmm. Someone just followed me on twitch. I guess that's who was watching on twitch Uh The book was called The Dreamers by Karen Thompson walker It was published in january of 2019 and it's about a worldwide plague And there's a lot of stuff in it about People becoming super spreaders and people People denying that the plague is real and um People isolating in their homes Uh And it's it's about this sleeping sickness where people just go to sleep and don't wake up um And the people who were The people who I didn't read it the people who were talking about it Some of them said they read it before kovid and some read it after Um, they they were saying that when they read it before kovid they they were thinking it was unrealistic But reading it now they're like, oh god, I can't even stand reading about it. It's too real um Yeah, my throat is getting scratchy I feel like uh, I don't have any fever. I've never had any fever.  From like 10 years ago called pandemic. I think it was just called pandemic They had that tremendous cast Um, it was about people the world being entirely unprepared. Um Other than idiocracy.  They don't think it's about them. They think it's about liberals Chris says I didn't see that one I saw it Back in the day when it first came out and I remember thinking how realistic it was I thought it was super realistic and shocking how realistic So many end of the world movies 10 years ago. Yeah um The uh, I don't know if you want to see it now at all. I would have recommended it a couple of years ago But now it's it's too real Uh, there were there were parts of it that that I was entirely unprepared for even at the time Yeah, idiocracy was a was a brilliant film and spot on and now we've got uh I recently saw someone putting essential oils in their plant water The electrolytes plants crave Yeah, let me get scene two set up here Set up uh If it's opening it's looking at tumblr. I'm not youtube. There we go This is gonna be weird Me and a picture window watching myself in a picture window Yeah yeah I I I did some shopping at target.

Have you have you watched me before? Have you talked to me before? The chat statistics that restream sends me are the there's so There's a serious delay on them Because I might be trying to To talk to people and they could be long on well dara still here. She says she was looking up a book reviews. Well Nice to see you. What books are you reading now? What books are you? I specialize in science fiction um Carissa says there must be a new weather front moving in my ears are plugged also That's the thing with my ears. They're always clogged. They're always plugged up And it's not it's not wax in my ears. It's my the my eustachian tubes are always swollen up always 100 percent my You see me moving my jaw my ears are crackling when i'm i'm uh when i'm doing that My ears have always been that way um But yeah dara, what do you read and what are you reading now? Um hp lovecraft Okay I've read every Every bit of fiction that lovecraft ever wrote. Um, I don't read his nonfiction Because that's Yeah, you don't you don't want to read his nonfiction Just his fiction um My favorite, uh, lovecraft was would probably be Wait says i dara says i only read his nonfiction too. Do you mean you only read his fiction? Is that what you meant to say? um I i'm trying to think what my favorite, uh Lovecraft stories would have been. Um, I mean his fiction. Yeah, I thought that's what you probably I liked the dream quest of unknown cadath and uh The one about venus That one that He wrote late in his life and there was a co-author um What was it called What was that one called the walls of erics in the walls of erics. Yeah I liked that one It was trapped in an invisible maze I liked that one The the reason I read all of uh Lovecraft's fiction was because I was a great fan of that, uh the hp podcast uh podcast They started, um They read all of lovecraft in chronological order and uh They were great fun to listen to and uh, you know after a couple of years. I read everything um Dara says same. So you were a fan of uh hp podcraft? Okay I don't listen to them anymore. Uh after they covered all of lovecraft stuff They started covering other science fiction and weird fiction, which I was which I was glad of but, uh You know after a while I I'd heard enough What else do you read? Dara? one of the women in uh That uh science fiction book group that I met with last night. She mentioned That she uh, she belongs to another book group called the morbid book club And they they only read morbid books. I was like gosh, what a What a specialty and then she she talked about that there's a murder mystery book club that she belongs so apparently all she does is read um All she does is read and attend book club meetings I know Carissa right now is is uh sitting up in her chair and looking at looking up the morbid book club Uh, someone else came in. We've got someone else watching. Yeah Carissa writes sounds like something I should join Uh, Dara says what is the image on the top corner of the screen that looks familiar? That's from Uh the movie metropolis 1927 silent film. Here's uh Here's the larger image of it Excellent movie um One of the greatest science fiction movies ever made it was made in germany in 1927 by fritz lang So something you should definitely see Carissa's metropolis such a good movie to watch. Yeah It's uh, we watched the whole three hour thing on uh The 50 street studio, uh last year was great Chris's the anime version is also good. Is the anime version metropolis though? Is it actually metropolis or is it some kind of reinterpretation or or a sequel or something? That doesn't sound like something I would be interested in at all. Yes it is uh, Which is it? You say it is metropolis So it's just an animated version of metropolis Hmm, I find that hard to believe honestly. I can't imagine that there would be a straight anime Interpretation of fritz lang's metropolis It has to have it's actually metropolis with almost ghibli overlay I can't imagine any anime studio just doing a straight fritz lang metropolis That has to there has to be some magical girl with a giant sword in it Or some uh, skinny white-haired emo boy I'm so sick of those anime characters Just humans being humans I'm I'm I'm leery of it. I don't want to see it I don't know what I'm gonna do for the next movie night. Just this morning. I saw Dara says do you know where I can watch that through Carissa is uh, is that on uh, are you talking about the original metropolis or the anime metropolis dara? um There are many different versions of metropolis available online um You should try to find the uh The fully restored version Because it was only about 10 years ago that uh, uh the original um The the version that people have been seeing for all these decades now the various versions have been Uh heavily edited versions with scenes missing. It was only about 10 years ago That there was a fully A fully unedited film version found in brazil, I think Um that included all of fritz lang's original scenes and that was fully restored. You should look for that That's the version that we showed. In fact, let me find a link. Let me find a link our stream of it Since it's a silent film It's actually really enjoyable to watch with people talking And doing commentary And that's what I did Videos, okay Okay, why does twitch make it so difficult to look at archives? Twitch makes it really difficult to just look at archives Okay, I can't scroll. Hang on. What okay, when did we see it? It was It was last year was last summer The version that that I showed was the full Fully restored version and I had a lot of information about it I talked at length about the history of it and Here it is Okay copy Copy link address. Why am I having trouble finding just even just the links? Okay Hi Juan Yeah Silent films dara have turned out to be really Well suited for these live streams.

She's made me laugh out loud and I was laughing out loud When I saw the movie yesterday Um, I like the movie quite a bit. I did not see the first suicide squad movie Um, my understanding is that this movie is much better. It has a legit Um, crazy over the top supervillain, which most of these movies lack Um, yeah, it was really funny really creative I don't I don't remember I don't remember what happened And there's carissa on the donation list History studio, which is a nonprofit.

I've only been to the cinema twice and both in the last week or so And I don't think I'll go again. I think it's too dangerous to go out Um I saw the green night, which I did not like And the more I talk about it the less I like it And carissa and I had similar similar opinions about the original green night story We just weren't impressed with it. It was just silly and pointless Excuse me But yeah, those of you who are watching now, please definitely go subscribe to the youtube channel link that I just posted and if you're not subscribed to the To the 50th street twitch channel go subscribe to that too I posted two different links just now one to twitch and one to One to the youtube channel.

Yeah, the cinema was empty both times. I saw movies Um Wants is I guess we have slightly different tastes in movies, but I haven't read the original story.  Carissa was busy She's been busy. Um Dara says all the actors and actresses did an amazing job and king shark looked amazing king shark was pretty funny I think it's it's too bad that Sylvester Stallone Got paid for that. I'm sure he got paid millions just to do that voice And that's really unfortunate um But uh, one the original, um Green night story is very different from the the movie In the movie Gowan was a loser who failed at everything.  Um In the original story from the middle ages He's he's superman He's superman. He's hercules. He's he's he's wearing shiny golden armor and the the story goes on and on about how tremendous his horse is He doesn't have any of the adventures that happen in the movie. None um He just just defeats everybody wins everything um, and There's a lot of A lot of uh social and cultural references From the middle ages that I just don't get and it's all just nonsense Um, okay.

So glad you talked to me And uh, please, uh, please let's do this again Follow that link, please and go watch some some great saturday morning science fiction Good saturday morning science fiction not bad saturday morning stuff. Um, and I'll see you all next time


You know, I'm pretty sure Teen Gohan is the reason this game sold so many copies. Like, we were all there watching the reveal trailer, and we're like, Yeah, this game looks pretty good, but I- Eugh! And I think when you combine that with the fact that he's such a fan-favorite character, you get the reason that Arc System Works made sure that he was so top tier. Oh, wait, sorry, that's adult Gohan. Uh, Teen Gohan is... Oh. Well, it's still probably a good idea to make a video covering the pros and cons of Teen Gohan anyway, because there's going to be a lot of people that play him regardless, and they might as well know what they're getting into. Let's start off by covering the cons of Gohan, and there's only really two that I really want to touch on. Con number one has to be that he is one of the shortest characters in the game, and I'm actually serious, this does matter a lot. Because of his size, his normals don't go very far, and in a lot of situations, you're going to get outranged by your opponent. I mean, Gohan's longest reaching normal is his down medium, and even then he has to slide into danger, like, like, that's just bad form. And the best part about it is you're going to be using that move a lot, because it's how you get into your most optimal damage. The second big con here for Gohan is that his neutral is probably one of the worst in the game. When you combine his small normals with the fact that he doesn't have any beams, and the fact that most of his specials are more used for keeping pressure or mid-combo extensions than actually getting closer to your opponent, then you've got a character that's really going to struggle getting in. If you've ever played Teen Gohan, you've probably had this experience when you're just trying to get in an opponent who has no interest in coming to you, and you just kind of have to fight that uphill battle until you eventually land a hit on him. Thankfully, after you land a hit, regardless of whether or not your opponent blocks it, this is where we start to see the real benefits of playing Teen Gohan. If your opponent does manage to block against you, you can start conditioning them to get opened up by your mix-ups. Thanks to Teen Gohan's Lightning Legs, this is made super easy. The light version of Gohan's Lightning Legs leaves no gap, so the opponent just has to keep blocking, while the medium version does leave a gap, but if you hit it, the reward is much better. You'll be able to mix them up with either an instant overhead or land and go for a low, or just throw in a traditional dragon rush for a bit of style. Like I said though, there is a gap, so if you don't want to end up being the one stuck in a combo, you should probably use an assist to cover it or make sure your opponent is very conditioned. If for whatever reason you fail to condition them throughout the entire match, but you also want the mix-up and your assists are both dead, then you should probably take the loss, but hey, between you and me, you can also spend a bar of meter to get the best of both worlds with your Lightning Legs, but keep that on the down low. And if for whatever reason you also got in that situation and have no meter, then I don't know what to tell you. You're gonna need more than a four minute internet guide to get out of that situation. But what if your opponent doesn't block your attack and actually ends up getting hit? Well in that case, we can just cut out the middleman of putting on pressure and just skip straight to Gohan's second pro, which is putting out a lot of damage. Because of Gohan's bomb loops, we get insane damage outside of the corner, and if the opponent is in the corner, then we just get insane damage regardless. Even if you only have one meter to spend, you're looking at upwards of 5,000 damage. And if you do end up having a level three, you're looking at a little more. And then if you use Gohan's level five, then you should be looking at a dead character there. And as a bonus, if you do opt to go for the level three in the corner, you'll get the hard knockdown. And then if you make them block a hit, you can go straight into that block pressure we were talking about. It's actually pretty crazy. The only two things keeping myself personally from playing Team Gohan is the fact that I really don't like his 5LL. You know, my brain works pretty slow. I need that extra hit to let me know that I did make contact with my opponent and that it's safe for me to go into my combo. With Team Gohan, if you do 5LL, you just leave yourself suspended in the air and you can't go into a down medium with that.  The other thing keeping me from playing him is his assist. I didn't put it in the cons because it is still pretty useful. But usually I just prefer to run with assists that help me keep pressure during the neutral. Shout out to my boy, Yamcha. But now that we know the pros and cons of Team Gohan, we can talk a little bit more about where he goes on a team. From my experience and from what I've seen, I see a lot of people choosing to run Team Gohan on point. And personally, I do feel like this is the right way to go about it. Team Gohan needs those assists to make up for his lackluster neutral, so you might as well throw him out up front. And his assist by itself isn't really all too great, so you're not really losing too much from not having access to it earlier in the game. And hey, adding assists is actually a good way to get even more damage out of your combos. Some teams that work well under this principle are Team Cell Saga, Team Goku's Lineage, Team 23andMe, and of course, an actual good Team Gohan team. And so the answer for whether or not you should play Team Gohan is kind of up to you in the end. If you're looking for a point character who could use a couple of beam assists to back him up in the neutral, then maybe this character is for you. Added bonus points if you're looking for a character with cool-looking combos as well. But if you're looking for a character that has some good range and handles himself well in neutral or regardless of his assist, then you should probably skip Team Gohan here. And that brings us to the end of this video. Let me know what you think about Team Gohan down in the comments below, as well as who you wanna see me cover next in a video like this.

So the first question is, what is a good decision anyway? An economist will tell you that it means maximizing your expected, over the whole future, utility. And this applies to everything from lottery tickets to Davos meetings to building radio telescopes. On maximizing AI has made a great deal of progress. 18 years ago, Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov at chess. Just last week, the game of Poco was solved perfectly, laughing and all, and humans could no longer compete. And right now, the Deep Mind system is playing 29 different video games superhumanly well that it learned entirely from scratch just by watching the screen. Imagine if a newborn baby did that. On expectations, these depend on perception and learning. Again, a huge amount of progress. The Watson system extracting information from text, cars watching the world as they go by, learning algorithms that classify images and write descriptions, even a system that discovers the concept of a cat entirely for itself just by looking at millions of images of everything under the sun. Now a lot of this progress comes from mathematical ideas. Here are just a few of the equations from my undergraduate course. And there will be a test if Linda allows some time later on. There's also a lot of progress that comes from commercial investment. So every one of these areas, a 1% improvement is worth billions of dollars. So we may see in the future domestic robots, for example. Search engines that read and understand every page on the web, even a machine that will discover the missing sock, perhaps in the very distant future. So the point of AI is that everything civilization has to offer is the product of our intelligence. So if we can amplify that, then there is no limit to where the human race can go. But I actually want to point to a problem. And that comes in the utility part of the equation. So imagine, for example, that you ask your robot to maybe make yourself some paper clips that you might need. And your robot's very, very clever. It takes you very literally and pretty soon the entire world is six feet deep in paper clips. So this is the sorcerer's apprentice and King Midas all rolled into one. Now technically what happens is that if you ask a machine to optimize and you leave out part of your preferences, the machine will set those elements to an extreme value. For example, if you say, Google car, quick, take me to Zurich Airport, it will max out the speedometer. And they say, oh, I didn't mean brake the speed limit. Well, it'll still put its foot on the gas. And then when it gets to the airport, slam on the brakes. So this is the problem of value alignment. And if you combine misalignment of values with a super intelligent machine that's very capable, then you have a really serious problem for the human race. So the point is that machines can and will make better decisions than humans, but only if their values are aligned with those of the human race. Now my colleagues, my distinguished colleagues, may argue that super intelligent AI will never happen. Let me take you back to September 11th, 1933. Lord Rutherford, the world's leading nuclear physicist, said that atomic energy was moonshine, could never happen. The next morning, Leo Zillard invented the nuclear chain reaction. The next morning. So we have to be careful. Let's look at nuclear fusion in particular. Long ago, they invented a method of generating unlimited amounts of energy. Long ago, it's called the hydrogen bomb. So now fusion concentrates on containment. And AI has to do the same thing. If you want unlimited intelligence, you have to solve value alignment. So one way of doing this is called inverse reinforcement learning. What that means is, for example, a machine sees somebody making coffee in the morning and then figures out the purpose, the underlying utility function that explains this behavior, namely that having coffee is a good idea, as long as it's not too much of it. Now, it's not quite as simple as that. As I'm sure you all see, humans differ in their values. Cultures differ in their values. None of us behaves perfectly. But there is a huge amount of information that the machine can access about human actions. Every television program, every book, every novel, every movie, every newspaper article is about human actions. And in particular, about our attitudes to those actions. So the rational thing for a machine to do is to engage in an extended conversation with a human race about its values before it can take any action that affects the real world. So my claim is that in the future, we will be able to design super intelligent machines that do exactly what they're supposed to do, which is to support greater realization of human values. And I think this is maybe the most important conversation that we can have over the next 50 years. Thank you.


Let's jump over to our man, Teddy Kegstad. We talk to Teddy folks every Wednesday at 40 past the hour. You can reach him every trading day at his website, forex-trading-unlock.com. Teddy Kegstad, I love that we get to talk to you on Wednesday, Fed Day. Good morning, man. Good morning, Tommy. So where do you want to kick things off, Teddy? Well, there's a lot to talk about. That's it's so open-ended, man, but I was jumping around, I saw the yen doing some action there. We got Fed Day. What about the Fed? As a forex trader, what's your approach on Fed Day as we come into a pretty volatile statement potentially? Well, I think it's going to keep most of the markets quiet and the currencies for the most part. I think you've got the dollar index, which is hovering below its highs right now. Right now, I think you're going to probably see the dollar under a little bit of pressure going into the lunchtime trade, not much, and you've got to remember that right now the dollar is on its highs. So any type of down-tick in the dollar is not bearish. It's profit-taking, and it's normal right now, especially in this environment on a day like today. So I think that you're going to see more traders are pondering the Monday morning quarterback Jamie Dimon in his comment today. It's kind of funny how he was pro-fed, pro-interest rates being low, and all of a sudden he's like, they should have raised rates a long time ago. He wasn't saying a year ago that they should be raising rates. But I think that's what you're going to see today is the people are just pondering a lot of jibber-jabber until the Fed releases their comment. I agree with a lot of the talk about them talking about more than just a half a point over the next couple of meetings and half-point pops. We've been talking about that already for six months, that they should be doing that. So I think that that's mostly what you're going to hear about. They're going to still start to acknowledge the fact that inflation does exist. They can't deny that anymore. I think that they're going to have to probably change their speak also, being that they're going to have to agree with the fact that the consensus that inflation is here to stay, it's not going away anytime soon. The reality is, I think you're going to see this, the actions of the Fed right now, they're chasing this curve. We have a contracting economy. I've been saying, I said at the beginning of the last year in the fall that this should be the year of the economic numbers. Now they're all lagging. That means that where we are is a lot worse than what we're seeing on a balance sheet basis. I think that the markets, no matter what, they're forward-thinking and the traders are very aware of this environment. Anyone that doesn't acknowledge the fact that inflation, if you think that we saw inflation this year, wait till where we are any year from now. Just think about your grocery store or even a gas. Right now, you're spending three times what you were paying for gas 14 months ago. That's not changing. I would guarantee you that this time next year, you're paying at least a dollar and a half to $2 more for gas, on average, no matter what, no matter what we do. Then think about your cost of food. Your cost of food, just think about walking down the aisle. Minor things that are actually pretty reasonable price and you don't really think about their numbers. Look at pasta. Pasta's up 50% to 100% in the past six months. Where do you think that's going to be in a year from now? Pasta's a high margin item for a lot of restaurants. This is going to impact the economy. Think about it. Where do your big chain restaurants make all their money on? Alcohol sales and things like pizza, pasta dishes because their margins are super high. Now all of a sudden, you take out the one last component in these industries where your margins are high and you shrink them radically very quickly. How fast is the economy going to contract then? I think that this is going to cause a lot of market swings. It's going to definitely impact the stock market huge. With the Fed being on a raising interest rate policy, the dollar is going to remain strong for at least in the short run too because of this. So a strong dollar may look good on the economic, on the chart. But when you think about where the value is, the value of the purchasing power of the dollar is crashing. Here's an interesting take. I was out this week and I was with a friend who had company in town from the Europe. One was from the UK, one was from the EU. And I asked them both of them are businessmen too. And I said, so is the Bank of England and the EU, are you going to start to defend your currency and start at least talking about doing so like Japan? And the first thing the guy from the UK said is like, we don't have enough bullets to defend our currency. And the guy from the EU said the same thing. And he's like, also their environment as far as what they really have been trying to push and what they're trying to push moving forward is in contrary to what you would be doing. So if that's truly the case, then you're going to see the dollar index continue right now. Any break in the dollar index is going to be a break to buy. So and I would say it's a profit taking move. Like today the euro is up, the pound is up. The Australian dollar, we have a buy signal from yesterday and the Australian dollar. Here's the problem is every single buy signal, and I always that's why I say don't try and pick a bottom. Right now it's a corrective move that no matter what, if you look at the trend, but it can't even hold a correction. A correction now only lasts for a day. Instead of being a three, four, five day trend, even if it's not that extreme in direction as far as how much price movement you've got, at least you would maintain that momentum. You cannot maintain momentum against the dollar right now for more than two days. And that's something that is, I think all forex traders need to take into account is that like we've been talking about the trends right now are very extreme and you can ride these trends and be and just be aware of that. You know, I mean, the trend is your friend is an old adage, but the geopolitical activity of what's going on right now supports it in such a big way that I mean your technicals are out the window. I mean, if you're using any type of indicators overbought, oversold, we know that they're all lagging. Well, they're getting crushed and they're going to continue to get crushed for the next couple of years. You know, so and I think like oil, too, after today, we got the oil numbers coming out, Fed meeting. I wouldn't doubt that we see an upside breakout. And if we do, once we get above 110, 116 is a heartbeat away. And then we're back up challenging 130. You know, I mean, I told you before, like 150 oil by the end of the summer, I think may come a lot quicker and $200 oil is it's on the table. It's not going away. Those are some statements, man. I was going to ask you, if you're looking for gas prices up a buck or two, where does that put crude in that round? If you're looking there at 150 right there. So now we're looking at $200 oil, then you're looking at, you know, we'll be paying $8 a gallon for gas. Well, I hope that's not the case. We'll see what happens, man, but it's a dicey scenario, for sure. And you got the den. You got the den all riled up, man. You got my dad riled up in there with pasta prices. It's Prince Spaghetti Day Wednesday. I'm a pasta fan.  I'm telling you, but the average person who doesn't even know markets can see this happening. Oh, for sure, man, for sure. And if you see this happen, think about this. How much is it going to cost to plant this year? How much is wheat going to cost? The fundamental parts of things like that, that you don't normally think about because there is such a huge supply, we know the supply is going to be shrinking no matter what. And the cost of that supply is going up because of artificial things. Sure. No, I've been talking about it in the beginning of the program. I see a lot of risks in terms of the Fed. I think everybody knows Jamie Timon that we were late to the party. I think that's pretty much consensus if you're paying attention. So yeah, pretty dicey scenario when where do the risks lie? The risks lie, man, that the Fed might figure out they have to hike. And they have to hike pretty quickly. And like you say, there's a lot of economic indicators that make things maybe a little bit tough as we go forward as they keep hiking. And we're all facing some pretty tough situations, man, with whether it's gas, inflation, the likes. Well, Teddy, I wish we could do all our men. Thank you so much for the update. And we will talk to you next Wednesday. New highs on the end before we talk next week. New highs on the end. I love it. We'll take a look. Thanks so much, Teddy. Have a great week, man. We'll talk to you next Wednesday.


that you cannot stay for the wedding. The Duke of Corlain is concerned with arranging such affairs, not attending them. And for your own sake, do something about her temper. I was with her for five minutes and got scratched. You'll be married to her for life. Don't worry. Margeum, come. But the prince's casus appeared. You were told to guard her. Oh, never mind. Get horses. She won't get far. I'm sure of that. But I'm wondering about you.  Believe me, your grace. I can't afford such blunderers. There's too much at stake. I swear she'll be back here, and the wedding will go ahead. My friend, a man who is clumsy once can be clumsy twice. But the second time, I find someone to take his place. Drive on. I'll hang in celebration of my wedding tomorrow. Highway, man. I'd hang before I'd celebrate your wedding. The who's the happy bridegroom? Count Valliers. Who's the custom he has to mark his wedding day? It's becoming unhappy land. It sounds like the usual confusion that follows a war. Dr. Corley and his henchmen, Count Valliers, are running rough shot over the country.  You worry too much, father. Don't you worry about my people? I remember you telling me that I was too wild. I should settle down. Now I'm ready.  Each of us does what seems best. We'll sit around the fireplace and argue these things out on cold winter nights like old times. Well, times are gone. I'm on my way home now. Will I see you tomorrow? I'll be there tomorrow. I don't think you will. Your state has been confiscated. I didn't bargain on it. I was taken over last chair by Count Valliers. Better persuade him to give it back. Not going to be a homebody without a home. State your business. Where can I find Count Valliers? Your name? Did I want when I climbed in here? What do I want now that I've seen you? Get out. Be happy to. I need help to get away from here. I can pay you. Let's hope we become very close friends. That way we won't have to think of payment. I'm not interested in your clumsy gallantry. I wish there was somebody I could rely on. Not someone whose sword is probably rusty. My sword hasn't had a chance to get rusty. I used it only this afternoon, helping a lady who was attacked by a highwayman. That was you on the road? Say thank you very prettily. I'd have preferred those bandits to be years. It's going to be difficult pleasing you. However, I can only try. Good evening, my dear. It's been scarlet. I heard you were killed in Arabia. Not as far as I know. A mistake in Arabia will be corrected in France. Sleep well, my dear. My estates were confiscated because of my crimes. Quite correct. Would you mind telling me what I was found guilty of? Certainly. The one crime which is impartable. You were guilty of having something I wanted. There will be a double celebration after the wedding tomorrow. Rest well, Captain Scarlet. Captain Scarlet? No wonder I thought you were a wizard with a sword.  Highwayman by courtesy of Count Belair's. When my uncle died, I came here to take over as a state. I can guess the rest. You were found guilty of something and the estate's confiscated, huh? The air of the poor at your service. I'll maybe a short friendship here. What a warm one. This is important, some Spanish dancers to keep the Princess Maria happy. That music, unless I miss my guess, marks the beginning of wedding festivities. Just to soon not be around to share it. Stretch your fingers and you may not have your next fix.  No, we talk about new times and how to bring them about. Amazing what a night in chains will do for your point of view. But about getting involved in other people's troubles. They're my troubles too. One man against hundreds. We'll talk about this too on some cold winter's night when this is all over. You can't be seen here. Go to the church. I'll join you there after the wedding. With your help, there'll be no wedding. I'm to marry them. What a thief to a girl who hates him. Not ask my opinion of the marriages I perform. I have my duty. I do what I must. Even though I had duties. Would it be against your principles to help a girl who's being forced into a marriage like this one? I don't know what you're talking about if I'd understand it. But the good father. Enough stomach to go anywhere. Well, the military has got to know. You pick up our two horses and one to the princess Maria. As you used to say. Do you think you will succeed as well this time as you did last night? No, we never did precess all the question of payment. We're concerned about that last night. I'll pay you any amount of money. What more could I ask? What time does the ceremony commence? I don't know. I didn't expect to attend. If we get out of here, you know, Villiers should thank me even if you don't. Who is it? Aunt Delia. The wedding guests are here. Please, wait. I don't join. You must be there. I said I had no complaints. The job isn't finished. You're not home yet. As a matter of fact, getting you home the way you look poses certain problems. I didn't ask your opinion of the way I look. I took complaints, but, uh, that dress isn't the best is guys. I neglected to bring a trunk. I didn't. I'm not going to Spain. Spain means my guardian and another marriage arranged like this one. What's your choice? You needn't concern yourself. Well, that's true. Yeah, shall we write on? If the lady wishes. Well? Goodbye. One thing. My job's finished.  I haven't any money. No, that's a real problem. But I might have a solution. Turn around. Well? She looks like a man.  I'll leave it to you. You could work out your debt. I wouldn't want... By joining us. Then there'll be three comrades instead of two riding together of whatever the future holds. Yes. Oh, yes. I have no choice. I'd say it was a wise move. I'm innocent. Of what? Sure, the newborn babe, no doubt. Are you innocent? Yes. We just follow orders. Wonderful country we live in. Nobody is guilty of anything. What about you? The Colonel of the Guards arrested me because I wanted to move away from here without paying my taxes. That's very serious. How could the vultures feed the people who don't pay taxes? I paid until I had nothing. And then when I was moving to my relatives and her loan, they arrested me for not working to make more taxes. I was only following orders, I swear. And I, and I. Quiet.  How are you going to get to Roulon? Walk. I have no money for a horse. Now you have a carriage. Not very stylish, far better than walking. And to give you a start, two swords to sell, given to you by these two heroes out of their love of humanity. Right? Right? Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank them. They just realized that it's more blessed to give than to receive. Bless you. But don't go away. Getting laid out, we wouldn't want you to get lost. Your mother's might worry. And with not a bad idea. Touch me, now scratch your eye down. You two sent to have a one defenseless woman. Defenseless, am I? Steadily, now. I may seep into your thick skulls to come back after I've gone. It's a bad idea. I'll know if you ever try this again, and I promise to make you very sorry you were bad little boys, understand? Yes, sir. Yeah, well, you'll escort these gentlemen away. I'd like to thank you. But I'd like to show my credit. I'd like to put the cow in the stable.  Princess Maria, Madam Zell. Josephine Trenais. Thank you, too. Don't mention it. Isn't there some way I could repay you? Are we staying here all day? Goodbye. I don't think those two will be back. Will you? What would you like me to say? That you're the Duke? I'm sure there's no doubt in your mind. This man, this Captain Scarlet, why hasn't he been killed as I ordered? Possibly Captain Scarlet disagrees with your theory that he should submit to the guillotine. Two men and a girl. And they've made fools of all the troops that I've sent. He's killed Villiers, interfered with a collection of taxes.  And troops can always trap a fox. A smarter fox is sometimes required.  They and others have tried. And failed. And so, my folks, are you smarter? Infinitely. If conceit were shrewdness, you'd be the wisest man on earth. The state originally owned by Scarlet, and later by the unlimited Count Villiers. It appeals to me greatly. Bring me news of Scarlet's death, and it's yours. I do not know if the Captain's life was a merry one, but I'll guarantee it'll be a very short one. Put Gods at every road. He's only a man he can be captured and killed. Well, don't just stand there, go on. Nervous man, Colonel Hugo. Hey, Tian. Who wouldn't be nervous with that? Why don't you come in through the front door, and what are these rags you're wearing? I didn't want to be seen with you. No, I recognize this attentional. What are you talking about? Don't I have enough troubles without playing a game of riddles? I'm interested in Captain Scarlet. You've come to the right place. Here, everybody is interested in the same man. Your effort to capture him has not been crowned with great success. Have you ever tried to capture a phantom? Why, he slips through your fingers like smoke. All the blasted peasants in the country think of him as a saint. Each time I send out a troop, he learns of its advance an hour before we get near him. Cheer up, Colonel. I propose to take care of the elusive Scarlet. You'll take care of Scarlet, where all the rest of us have failed? I will. I'll leave you with cooperation, however. You've got it. Name what you want. Put soldiers, a troop of horsemen. You've tried those. I prefer to bait my own trap. I want you to arrange my execution. For treason against the Duke of Golan, and for resistance to an officer, at the end of your march, his sentence to die in the guillotine was hanging over your head. Your Captain Scarlet, of course. Princess Maria, Pierre du Clos. Free to thumb your nose at the soldiers and go wherever you like. Good luck. I've nowhere to go. I'd be recaptured if I went home. Besides, there's only one thing I want to do. Join you. We don't have a band of followers. There are just the three of us. Why not four? I can fight, I can cook, I can do anything. Try me. No, friend. Too many of us would make it harder. You heard. I'm sorry. I asked not only because I'm grateful, but because I want to fight as you're fighting. There must be somewhere you can use me. Why not? He comes with the best references. The shadow of Corleen's guillotine is still around his neck. Are you a good cook, at least? I can make a venison stew sing like the angels of heaven. My friend, if you just make it hum a tune, I'll be satisfied. Welcome to whatever is in store for you. It would be welcome indeed. For something useful and surely make a good pincushion. It's good to see you, Father. Maria, my child. Hello, Father. Yeah, you look well. Etienne Cook, swordsman and all-around good fellow. Father. Welcome. I came because I have a message for you from Josephine.  The cow with the cows. She was to see you. She wouldn't tell me what it was. I'm not surprised. Thank you, Father. I don't think you should go. This might be a trap. Oh, I doubt it. I doubt it too. You seem eager. Go ahead. No, let me go. Then if it's safe, why shouldn't I go? I'm the newest and least important member of the group. Let me prove I can be useful. I don't think it's worth arguing about. But if you wish, it's the first house on the hill road. You remember the house. I'm amazed. Would you like to see how Maria's education is progressing? Fine. I yield. You've shown amazing enthusiasm for the sword all of a sudden. I wonder why. I have a message for Catherine Scarlet. What is my gift? Give it to me. You didn't think he'd come himself? And why not? Princess Maria? Princess Maria.   I don't care. I'm fed up with a great hero and his high and mighty heirs. So good for the likes of you and me.  Catherine Scarlet means nothing to me. Of course he doesn't. You're young and beautiful. You should be thinking of how to get out of this big stag, how to get fine clothes instead of home's button, and fine food instead of slops. And I suppose if I listen to you, I'll have all of those things? You might. I've heard many pretty words. But I've never seen one of them turn into a gold piece. Send twice as much again if you'll do as I tell you. Usually I can persuade women to confide in me. But this one, she refused to talk to anyone but you. I wonder why. I wouldn't know. I'm sure it's no trap, but I'll stand guard. No wonder to me. Maybe I wanted you to be curious. I'm sure you did. Now that I am. Easy, not so fast. I've prepared dinner. Very thoughtful of you. Perhaps a little time. Please. And then we'll talk. You're short to refuse present invitations. Wedding till after dark and then each of us came from a different direction. Good. Do you think four of us will be enough? Five with you and me, Colonel. Any more might have been spotted by some president who'd want him. What about the woman? Don't worry, moving closer. And when you hear my signal. And what'll that be? A cat crying three times. He's alone? And Pierre and the princess? Far away. I'm the sole protector of Captain Scarlett. I'm pacing for an hour. I like to pace. Forgive me. No, Pierre. Forgive me. You and I, we worry about him, don't we? Am I so obvious as all that? Only to me. You're a good friend, Pierre. Pacing's all very well, but I feel easier if I rode in the direction of Josephine's house. Just to relieve my mind, you understand.  Just for the ride. You understand. Say, I didn't expect such food and the wine. I've never tasted better. Oh. Fort Tabby. I figure out all about her. I'll be right back. Who's worrying, Edward? Perhaps alone after all. Food and wine that you can't afford without blood money. Did Etienne get away? And the charming lady? She's unimportant. I could make a pretty good guess. The soldiers? They've gone by now, I'm sure. We better follow. But at the street distance, an angry woman has nothing to trifle with. I came by only last week, and I didn't pay anything. Last week is nothing. Come on, 10 francs. Oh, I'll turn back. You've used the road. You have no cash. Well, that's too bad. Hey, wait a minute. I'm just a poor man. Quiet. For what? For being so pretty, maybe.  Hey, all right, take what's in the cart. Did I frighten you? I'm so sorry. But I thought anybody as brave as you are with girls and old peasants wouldn't be afraid of anything. Nice work, princess. He's all yours, Pierre. What are you going to do with me? I eat three of the Duke's soldiers for breakfast every morning. You can be on your way. Thank you, sir. Thank you. No thanks are necessary. Thank you, sir. You look quite so heroic now. I swear I was only doing what my lieutenant told me to do. My friend, you're old enough to have learned that a man only does what sits well with his conscience.  Please, Maria, Matt can figure that out for himself. Some men can. 10 francs for a kiss, a little expensive. Still, everything's going up. As a matter of fact, if I had 10 francs. Not if you had 10,000. We've got company. You'd rather see. Except so have them go. The sins of death that's been passed on Captain Scarlet and Pierre Declue, by the Duke of Pologne, unless they surrender themselves to the Duke by August 14. The Princess Maria and now a prisoner will be publicly executed at sunrise. It's no weapon. It may be a trap. It has no need of traps now. It's getting to be monotonous. It will seem, my dear Duke. I have provided for all eventualities. Untie the lady. As we both know, Scarlet will make an attempt to rescue you in the next two days. But what I alone know is that he hasn't a chance. You shiver with fright at the mention of his name. True, because I respect his ability. As a result, I don't underestimate him. But as a further result, he's as good as dead right now. Each town between here and Martau Forest is filled with soldiers. Every road is guarded. And this castle is an armed camp. Verkount the Grandville, my military aide.  Do you know Scarlet's tactics? Perhaps you could tell us how he would plan an attempted rescue. When would I go free? As soon as Scarlet is dead. He'll be killed anyway. It can't matter, my dear. It would be a shame to execute so lovely a lady. Close to me for the next few days. I'd like a chance to teach your manners. All right, the Grandville, the map. Several routes Scarlet can take, and they all lead to janteers. You'll know we have the roads watched. But he's smart enough to realize that he can't go through fields all the way without attracting attention to himself. No, the captain will follow one of the roads. I think he will travel by night with his friend Duke Blue. They will be in disguise. Yes, I'm quite sure of that. At least that's what I would do if I were a foolish romantic bent on risking my neck to save a woman. The Duke's expecting us and has prepared a warm welcome. Two guilletines made to measure. Waiting in janteer. Shall we be good guests and not keep them waiting? With luck, we could get through the patrol. But will he more than luck getting through a janteer? How should we enter the town with peasants or soldiers? I make a good friar. Take your choice. Let's see what lady luck has to offer. There, one troop is just inside a town gate and squads at every corner. If we don't stop them on the roads, Scarlet should reach here tonight. He'll be in disguise. Several of my men have seen him. They'll know him no matter how he's disguised. Hold everyone you're not sure of. Watch particularly for strange peasants, soldiers you don't recognize, or friars who are new to this section. Yes, sir. The reception committee no doubt. Recognize the coach? That means they'll be watching to this coach. It was nice traveling and style. Let's hope they won't be so interested in a couple of peasants. Loth will reach the castle. He may not know that we've discovered of his take into Grandville's carriage. In that event? You're sure? But you paced back and forth. Too nervous to sit still. This time I've left nothing to chance. Any man that comes to the road, Loth, will be held in chains. Even though he might be the Duke of Corlain himself. But nothing? Why are you holding me? You might be Captain Skardet. Well, Granny, are you hiding Captain Skardet under your skirt? Mind your manners. And be more respectful to an old woman. If you had a pretty granddaughter, I'd be very respectful. You, you got a pretty girl for a soldier like me? Death and dumb, my sister. That way from birth. She wants a drink of water. Over there. You'll have to get permission from the captain. Let me see your hand. Why? I got a glimpse and saw no wrinkles. Let me see your hand. And there better be wrinkles. Take a good look. No, no, come, don't you? Person sitting foot on the grounds will be killed before he can move to the steps. Every inch of the wall in the palace is guarded. You said no man could get through the roadblock. This guy's won't help here. Captain Skardet might as well come up to the door and knock. He's a dead man the moment he approaches. Obviously, the Duke's expecting us. No disguise would help. We march right up and knock on the door. That small village that we passed. Do the people hate the Duke? Everyone hates the Duke. Would there be a few men who would help us? Certainly a few, but what good against hundreds of soldiers? I want company when I knock on that door. For sunrise, he arrived on time. He'll die on time. Up in the fields, for a prisoner being brought back for execution.


Item Number – SCP-672 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures The sample kept at research sector is to be maintained in a biodome suitable for desert life with accompanying scrub plants. Samples may be taken at the discretion of Dr. H. This to have relevant data for the location of SCP-672 colonies uploaded. Any wild colonies are to have an MTF dispatched to enact procedure Lambda-6. Description – SCP-672 is a species of coral that grows in desert environments. The rich green color of SCP-672, making it appear as a plant at first glance, comes from a previously undiscovered but unremarkable species of Zuzantholi. The colony is extremely efficient with resources. Dead individuals are broken down and any useful components redistributed, leaving behind limestone that can only be distinguished from deposits formed by normal coral by the presence of ... when not active. SCP-672 polyps completely seal themselves within their shells and become nearly impossible to distinguish from surrounding rock formations. It is recommended that MTFs carry a copy of document 672-12 as an identification aid when performing fieldwork relating to SCP-672. Outside of expansion events, SCP-672 will periodically become active for brief times to either consume prey or to allow its Zuzantholi to undergo photosynthesis. SCP-672 was initially discovered by a ... in 19 ... a sleeper agent planted in the team alerted the foundation to a possible SCP species and attempted to direct attention away from SCP-672, as per standard procedure, but was detained by his fellow researchers due to suspicious behavior. Agent D attributed his detention as the primary reason for surviving the subsequent expansion event that killed the rest of the expedition. SCP-672 feeds when an animal touches a polyp, either by chance or having been lured during an expansion event. The polyps with access to prey use a radula to tear off small pieces of food. Test subjects report feeling like they have scraped their hand against sharp stone, even when lightly touching SCP-672. Observation of injuries caused by SCP-672 feeding have shown the polyps to coordinate their motion to keep the damage consistent with a scraping injury. Polyps pass food around the colony via laterally placed holes in their shell, allowing the whole reef to stay fed. This feeding behavior is relatively harmless, and subjects have successfully maintained prolonged contact with SCP-672 without severe damage. SCP-672 only poses a real threat during an expansion event, during which the colony attempts to draw in as much prey as possible, leading up to its reproduction. SCP-672 will begin emitting a pheromone that has been demonstrated to create a desire invertebrates to move towards its source. Victims attempt to make as much skin contact as possible once they reach SCP-672, allowing it to feed upon them with maximum efficiency. Reptiles are most affected by the pheromone, some documented as being attracted from up to six kilometers away, while the maximum range of effect for birds and mammals is closer to two kilometers. Upon cessation of pheromone production, SCP-672 emits a cloud of spores, most of which settle on and around SCP-672, with large amounts collecting on prey caught upon the colony. Any surviving victims return to normal behavior once the pheromone disperses and will generally flee the area. Spores caught on these animals remain dormant until death and will grow to become a new colony on the corpse. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-671 Deconstructing Ants, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


The second mistake is not educating yourself. A lot of people might try winging it, but that could lead to some very costly mistakes, especially in the food and beverage world. If anything goes wrong, it's gonna be disaster for you because you need to be a master in a lot of different things. For example, you need to know how to cook, you need to know your numbers, accounting, finances, marketing, logistics, equipments, and facing your customers. And each one of these mistakes can be very costly. For example, wrong equipment, that's tens of thousands of dollars, wrong menu, that can lead to thousands of dollars in missed profits. Wrong location. This is a deadly mistake, tens of thousands of dollars. So that means even before your food business is open, you could already be racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars from your short-term decisions and your lack of foresight into the long-term.

Lavrov, West aims to surround Russia with sanitary cordon. The United States and its satellites are waging an all-encompassing hybrid war against Russia to surround it with a sanitary cordon and make it a rogue country. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament. Today, the United States and its satellites are waging an all-encompassing hybrid war against us that has been prepared for many years using Ukrainian national radicals as a battering ram, he said. Lavrov pointed out that the West does not hide its goals. It is not only to defeat Russia on the battlefield to destroy the Russian economy, but also to surround us with a sanitary cordon to turn us into some kind of rogue country, the top diplomat said. The range of instruments is wide, he continued. From direct military support for the neo-Nazis, which US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin directly called for yesterday, stating the need to provide the Ukrainian armed forces with precision weapons and to train personnel to ensure the success of the new counter-offensive operations, the Kiev regime is allegedly preparing to unprecedented illegal sanctions and outright lies in an attempt to demonize Russia. The Russian side, according to Lavrov, until the last moment did everything possible to de-escalate tensions to find an equal mutually respectful agreement. The top diplomat noted that it was to this end that Russian President Vladimir Putin in December 2021 put forward an initiative to formalize counter-legally binding security guarantees for the West. These, as we know, were arrogantly rejected by Washington and NATO. They weren't even willing to discuss our legitimate concern. All this left us with no way out, Lavrov recalled. A year ago on the orders of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's regime, the Ukrainian armed forces led by the national battalions moved to suppress Donbas by force, increasing the bombing of populated areas. In response to the official appeal of the Lugansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic, we recognized their independence and came to their aid in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter by launching a special military operation, the minister added.

Because you still have the Halloween dance. I don't know if they do that anymore. I'm not sure. In elementary school, they had the Halloween dance and everything. Yeah, it was a festive holiday in school. So let us know in the comments what you're gonna be watching today on Halloween for Halloween.

The Navy's shipboard sapper teams are now stronger than ever with the assistance of deployment resiliency counselors. These civilian counselors provide the same services aboard a ship that clinical counselors provide at Fleet and Family Support Centers.  Deployment resiliency counselors are incorporated into the ship's company and they participate in drills and exercises such as general quarters, man overboard and abandon ship drills. These exercises provide a common ground for deployment resiliency counselors and sailors to interact. These civilians are a great addition to our team, however, sailors need to remember that they are the first line of defense for their shipmates. DOD estimates that it receives a report from only one in four victims of sexual assault. Do your part. If you see or hear something, say something. Now is the time, not tomorrow, not next week, but today. Before it happens again, if you don't speak up, who will?

the electronics expert and also the real-life son of Greg Morris who played Barney Thou penglass stepped in as the disguise expert Anthony Hamilton as the strongman and Terry Markwell later Jane

There was no lottery and Dan actually died The series was a huge hit for ABC and the top five shows for seven years number one in 1989 And in the top 20 for two more Metcalf would win three Emmys for the show and Roseanne won Despite all this or perhaps due to off-screen dramas ABC walked away from a spin-off series with Roseanne only Then after years of rumors the show returned last year with initial blockbuster ratings And then Roseanne made racist statements online This must have reminded ABC about how she would act and the show was canceled It was then resurrected as the Connors sons Roseanne Personally, I was never a fan of the show.
