Good morning, everyone. I am a graduate student at Kyoto University, Japan. I'm really glad to be here today. Thank you. Let us start. Ethmologically speaking, the word niksipa may mean to put down. In giant tradition, however, this word has a unique meaning and definition. As of state that niksipa is the system of focusing keyword by applying a format of fixed viewpoints. He also pointed out the importance of making clear its significance in order to understand the text which represent the earliest post-canonical development of giant doctrine and exegesis. Paying attention to two types, niksipa, which appears in Utradiana Sutra, he examined which is an old form. As he mentioned that he had not yet seen a study which would explain the details of niksipa technique and make clear its general significance and practical use. No, practical use. Indeed, this is one of the starting points of the full-scale research on niksipa. However, we must not overlook another important research presented at the same time at this. Dixit defines anyoga duvara as the point of investigation of the meaning of the words in canons and niksipa as a particular set of anyoga duvaras. He classified the history of giant salt into two ages, namely the age of agamas and the age of logic besides each ages into three, the beginning, medieval, and the end of the age, and explained the theory of Pramana, Naya, and Anacant Vada, including niksipa, belonging to each historical part. After this works, several studies have been made on niksipa so far. Though this research is, it has been recognized that niksipa is basically fourfolded, namely Nama, Stapana, Drava, and Baba, in explaining the general definition of niksipa. An example of Raja is often quoted. The name Raja, which is given to the son of the, son of a catchman, for instance, is Nama Niksipa. A portrait or statue of the king, Raja, is Stapana Niksipa, a prince who will be the king in future or the former king who has already retired or the dead body of the king, Drava Niksipa. The king, Raja, who are engaged in political activities at present is Baba Niksipa. As shown above, there may be fairly general agreement in the definition of the concept of niksipa so far. However, there seems to be no study that try to focus in detail on niksipa, especially in the age of logic. There is no disagreement on this point that Akaneka plays a very important role among the authors belonging to the age of logic. From the point of view of Niksipa also, which constitute his philosophical system, his significance cannot be overlooked. Therefore, in this view of his significance for Niksipa, this paper is concentrated on the concept of niksipa in Akaneka's works. First of all, we will focus our attention on the niksipa in Tatovarta Varitika, Tatovarta Raja Varitika, which is the commentary on Tatovarta Sutra of Masvati. This is because it is pointed out by Mahendra Kumarjain that Tatovarta Raja Varitika is an earlier one among his works. Therefore, it is quite likely that his understanding of niksipa in Tatovarta Varitika serves as the foundation of niksipa in other works. In this part, while clarifying the fundamental definition of niksipa, I would like to especially observe a common future with Sarvarata city of Pujapada, which is earlier commentary on Tatovarta Sutra than Tatovarta Varitika of Akaneka. This will be a good example that Sarvarata city affected the diffusion in Tatovarta Varitika. Next, I will proceed to the comparative study of niksipa in his original works. Among his works, Laguio Strayer and the city in Shia, where Akaneka defines the four niksipas clearly, will be treated in this paper. This refers these two are indispensable to examine the concept of niksipa in the sort of Akaneka. Comparing description between Tatovarta Varitika and his original works, I would like to clarify the description common among them and the description different from each other. Common part would show that the understanding of niksipa in Tatovarta Varitika serves the basis of description of niksipa in his foreign works and different one will prove how his comprehension of niksipa changed throughout his works. So niksipa in Tatovarta Varitika, a general definition of niksipa. Nama, Stapana, Drabea, Barbatas, Tan, Niasat. This is the aphorism about niksipa in Tatovarta Sutra. On this aphorism, the explanation about four Niasats, namely Nama, Stapana, Drabea, and Barbat is made as follows first. Nama, Niksipa is defined as following. The act of naming without any other causes, limitant is Nama. Although the meaning of other causes is not explained clearly in Tatovarta Varitika, as in later in his original works, they are explained as a characteristic with which certain thing is equipped. That is, it is naming to give something a name without being based on its future character. In Sarbatas city, naming is also described as the act of naming something regardless of the meaning which the word originally has. Therefore, although each and every word explaining name are not completely same as in Sarbatas city, it is possible that the definition of Nama Niksipa in Tatovarta Varitika is fundamentally based on the definition in Sarbatas city. By connecting something a and b with linguistic expression, this a is that b. Substituting something a for the original thing b is Stapana Niksipa. As we say, Indra, which is the husband of Shachi and highest one, this is that Indra. That description in here mostly for Sarbatas city as well as in the case of Nama Niksipa. Next, Dravya. In the matter of Dravya, there are some problems. In Tatovarta Varitika, at first Dravya Niksipa is defined as the aspect of the meaning of a word which denotes the preceding state being confronted with the essential state, Baba. The problem is here. This definition focuses only on the future aspect of the state. For example, a prince who is not the king right now but will be the king in future. This definition does not focus on the past aspect of the state. For example, the former king who has already retired or the dead body of the king. The set of the two aspects, future and past aspect is mentioned not only in Sarbatas city but also in Shibetambara text, Anuradwara Sutra, Bisheshavashikavashya. Therefore, it was the standard orthodox way to focus on both two aspects. Yet, it seems that Akanaka abandoned one of these two aspects. Why Akanaka decided to do so? With this question in mind, we will now take a look at following characteristics of Dravya Akanaka described. Dravya is also a qualified entity namely Dravya which is concerned with cannons and that is not concerned with cannons. The former is the person who knows only canonical words without contemplating the meaning of these words. The latter is further classified into three. The first is the body of the person who knows the meaning of the word. It is a material aspect of the body lasting throughout three tenses, perfect, present, and future. The second is previous state being confronted with the particular state. What has been noticed is that the quite similar phrase as the definition mentioned above applies to this case. It can be interpreted as Akanaka repeats the same definition twice. The Akanaka's intention is unclear and we cannot have enough evidence to decide this matter but it may be that Akanaka confused in these points. Anyway, let us now continue to follow his description again. The third is things accepted too. This is further divided into karma and no karma but Akanaka indicated that only these names and did not explain these meanings in detail. Such is an outline of Dravia in Tatwata Vertica. This diffusion of Dravia given above is not a material aspect of the meaning of the word as we have seen in the example of Raja but a unique aspect paying attention on the material aspect of the person who knows the meaning of the word. This aspect is also seen in Salvatte City, Anuagadwara, Bisheshava, Shukabasha, and so on. Therefore, there are the traditional way to interpret Dravia Nick Shepa and Baba Nick Shepa is the aspect of the meaning of the word which denote something identified with its present and essential state. This is also classified in the two which is concerned with canons and which is not concerned with canons. The form signifies something identified with its present and essential state which is defined in canon. The latter signifies something identified with its present and essential state which is experienced in general, not in canon. In the case of Baba, these definitions are common with Salvatte City. As seen above, in the matter of this definition of Nick Shepa in Tatovalda Vartica, we may say that Akarenka follows the definition in Salvatte City. After the definition of Four Nick Shepas, a total of eight arguments about their characteristic are follows. The following arguments do not appear in Salvatte City except for the last one. Furthermore, they are not seen in Tatovalda Sutra, Sutra Varsha by Umasavati himself or Aniyoga Dupara Sutra, Bishesha Varshaka Varsha. Therefore, in conclusion, it can be understood that these are the arguments which he invented uniquely. Mahendra Kumar Jain indicates that Akarenka was also a grammarian. Among following discussions, Akarenka focused on the linguistic features of Nick Shepa and quoted Janendra Vyakarana of Fujapada and Mahavarsha several times. This fact could be a good example which supports Jain's opinion. We do not have enough time to examine all of them. So I would like to pick up a couple of topics I've seen in heart out. There is one objection as following. Generally speaking, all into the order that between the common use and the technical use of the word, the technical one should take precedence over the common one. Name in Nick Shepa may be the technical use of the word. Accordingly, in the theory of Nick Shepa, name takes priority over those three elements of Nick Shepa so that there is no space for other three. Akarenka offers the answer for this. We usually experience both case. For example, one is said, bring Gopala. He may interpret two ways. One is that he interprets Gopala as a cattleman. It is common use of the word. In this case, he will bring a cattleman. The other is to interpret Gopala as a proper name. This is technical use of the word. In this case, he will bring a person whose name is Gopala. We experience this both case by Jain's, thus that objection is not correct. Akarenka also said, furthermore, each elements of Nick Shepa belongs to two knights. Among these two, there is no priority. Thus, that objection is not valid. Next, relationship with Pramana, Naya and Nick Shepa. In Tattvartasutra, the aphorism on Nick Shepa appears just before that on Pramana and Naya. Assuming that the intention of the author, Umasavati is represented in the order of every aphorism in Tattvartasutra, we can see that Nick Shepa is the previous step to Pramana and Naya. Indeed, at the beginning of the commentary of the aphorism on Pramana and Naya, Akarenka state that the object of Pramana and Naya the seven Tattvart and correct view Samyakudarsana that have been recognized by Nick Shepa. In other words, in the matter of Tattvart and Samyakudarsana, we have to specify the meaning of these words by means of Nick Shepa at first and then recognize correctly then by Pramana and Naya. It should also be added that after the aphorism of Pramana and Naya, two Anuyogas follows. In Tattvartasutra, Nick Shepa, Pramana, Naya and the two Anuyogas are defined as the way of way to recognize Tattvart and Samyakudarsana. Nick Shepa in Akarenka's original works. Nick Shepa in Pramana and Pramayakudarsana, Agiyasura. In Agiyasura, Shepa appears in the last part. The first noteworthy point is that Akarenka mentioned that the word meaning has to be analyzed at least in four ways. That is, Nick Shepa is defined as originally more than four fold. This feature is important since not seen in Tattvartavartika or Saravartasidi. We can find this in Anuyogasutra. In Anuyogasutra, this topic is described following. If we can, we have to analyze the meaning of the word as in many ways as we can. However, if we cannot, we have to do so at least in four ways, namely, Nama, Stapana, Dravia, Nick Shepa, Baba. In this respect, Akarenka refers to Shwetambara text, Anuyogadwara. After that, the definition of Nick Shepa follows. Nama, Nick Shepa is defined as the act of naming without any other causes, nimitantara. The description here is fairly common with that of Tattvartavartika, but it's different in that the meaning of other causes, nimitantara, are explicit here as Jati, Dravia, Guna, Kuria. Sometimes people give someone a name after a characteristic which the word originally has, but with regard to Nama, Nick Shepa, the act of naming without this characteristic is indicated. And it is Stapana, Nick Shepa that substituting something A for the original thing B in the true picture of it, Sat Baba or in symbolized form, Asat Baba. The important point to note is the terms true picture, Sat Baba or symbolized form, Asat Baba, here, are not seen in Tattvartavartika nor Sarbat City. Then it may be regarded as Akarenka's invention, but that is not true. It is pointed out in the footnote of Mahendra Kumar Jain that this type of definition about Stapana can be traced to Visheshavashika Abhashya, Brihat-Kalpavashya, Aniyoga-Dubhara Sutra, Abhashyaka-Nilukti. Although it is simplistic to think that only because this phrase is common among these texts, Akarenka knows these old texts, yet all into the example above, it seems quite likely that at least he notes Aniyoga-Dubhara Sutra and refers to it. Judging from this fact that the phrase Nimi-Tantra, which is a characteristic phrase in the Diffusion of Namaniksepa, is not seen in these texts, it is possible that based on the understanding in Tattvartavartika, Akarenka corrects the appropriate expression from other texts and put them together here. Based on the definition in Tattvartavartika, Dravya and Baba are briefly described here. Thus, we may shortcut them. Significance of Niksepa. Now, the significance of Niksepa is described following. Niksepa is fruitful that it eliminate the unnecessary meaning of the word and adapt the intended meaning of the word. This kind of expression discussing about the significance of Niksepa did not appear in Tattvartavartika, however, we can find it in Sarabhata city. The texts before Sarabhata city, such as Aniyoga-Dubhara Sutra and Vesesha Vashakavashya, do not discuss about this topic. Therefore, Puja father can be regarded as the first through pay attention to the significance of Niksepa. Relationship with Pramana, Naya and Niksepa. In Lagya Sura, the significance of Pramana, Naya and Niksepa are given as below. Pramana is the way to recognize the general characteristic of an object throughout three tenses and Naya makes clear the intended part of the object. Moreover, Niksepa analyzed the meaning of the word. Although Akalaka himself does not express the relationship in view of time, the commentary Naya Kunda Chandra analyzed that Niksepa works after Naya. That is at first a person recognize an object or a word and then he starts to consider the meaning of the word. As in Tattvara Sutra, Niksepa, Pramana, Naya and two Aniyogas are defined as the way to recognize to correct meaning of every word. Not mentioned about inclusion property with Naya. The Niksepa in Siddhivinshchaya, in short, defintions, significance and the number of the elements that we have seen in Lagya Sura are common. With regard to the relationship, Niksepa is defined to work after Naya. It is not described that Niksepa, Pramana, Naya and two Aniyogas are the ways to recognize the meaning of the word. It can be said that he abandoned such system of knowledge as seen in Tattvara Sutra and Lagya Sura. So conclusion. In the matter of the defintions of Niksepa in Tattvara Valtika, we may say that Akalanka followed the defintions in Sarabata city. On the other hand, regarding the linguistic arguments which is not seen in Sarabata city, they are likely Akalanka's invention. As has been pointed out by Hujinaga, Niksepa cannot be discussed beyond the narrow limit of linguistic view. Therefore, it is difficult to discuss in the same level as Pramana and Naya, which is related with the epistemological topic. From what has been said before, it can be concluded that recognizing Niksepa as the means of understanding Tattvara, Akalanka noticed its linguistic characteristics as seen in Tattvara Valtika and clearly distinguished it from Pramana and Naya as the epistemological causes. This defintions in Tattvara Valtika are adapted in Lagya Sura. However, it is likely that beside this defintions, the ideas in other works, namely, Aniyoga Devara or Bishashagashashaka Vashya, et cetera, are corrected and put together there. Furthermore, in Lagya Sura, he also adapted the notion in Tattvara Valtika that Niksepa, Pramana, Naya, and two Aniyogas are the means of cognition of seven Tattvars. But regarding Niksepa as walking after Naya, this is likely because that from the epistemological point of view, he admits that at first, a person recognized an object or word and then he starts to consider the meaning of it. In Siddhminisha, it was not discussed, the structure that Tattvars are recognized by means of Pramana, Naya, Niksepa, and two Aniyogas. This may indicate that he abandoned such system of knowledge as seen in Tattvara Sutra or in Lagya Sura. And we miss it that he took paints with application, the traditional doctrine to his own works. Thank you.


What's up everybody Jason from jazby's case breaks calm. It is new release day 2021 upper-deck series to hockey This is a four box hobby break three random teams each number one and again 10 total spots Everybody gets three random teams in the NHL We combo up one two teams jets and ducks to make one spot to make an even 30 and we're no better in common ship Six young guns per box guys and again Caprice off one of the best rookies in NHL this year Finally NHL as well. He was in I think in Russia for a couple years. I think he's like what 23 now Kind of reminds me of like Valoran Akushkin from the Dallas Stars at the time where Such a huge prospect and then stayed in in Russia. I think for a couple years But this guy's killing it. There's other great rookies in here dealing colds cosens suit cell from the Sends I want to say as well. So let's get this going guys Dice roller here Joseph down to Troy remember we tripled your names and then ducks win and pick jets combo. There we go Let's roll it four to one five times one two three four and five There you go five times Josh Proust at the top down a Brian Croft How am I watching Supernatural have no idea what that is. All right, here you go five times one two three four and five Carolina Hurricanes out of the Montreal Canadiens Josh Proust of the Hurricanes Troy you have the Yotes Sean with the Knights Troy with the Rangers Joseph with the Blackhawks Brian crowd with the Oilers Sean with the Islanders Brian probably Redwings Troy with the Devils Joseph with my Kings Troy with the Flyers Sean with the Ducks Winnipeck Jets combo Troy with the Panthers Avalanche Canucks Shay with the Leafs Brian crowd with the Wild and Blue Jackets Penguins for you Shay Joseph with the Stars Troy with the Bruins Josh Bruce of the Sabres Joseph with the Blues Shay with the Predators Troy with the Caps Brian crowd with the Senators Joseph with the Lightning Flames Josh Bruce of the Sharks and Brian Croft with the Montreal Canadiens So here we go guys if anybody wants to make any trades give me a quick minute in the meantime I'm gonna open up this case. So we're doing four box breaks. So we should have at least three breaks of these Available so number two is already up if you guys want to run it back. I wouldn't mind breaking some more of this stuff This stuff is nice So in the hockey world guys, I mean of course cup our PA's are like the NT flawless of hockey You have future watches from SPA ice premieres and stuff like that But I think the one thing that will always retain its value, especially the players are really really good Is they're young guns? This is basically one of the ultimate rookie cards you want and they have definitely have grown in the last few years Especially this last year with the pandemic now, you know, you're great on PSA 10s Go for a lot. I mean they were talking about like Pasternacks like young guns PSA 10s are like almost $2,000. Yeah, definitely. That is true ESPN has NHL back for the first time since like 2000 and what two or something crazy like that It's been a while the Not that I know of I don't think the Kings are allowing fans. I think in California. It's a little bit more strict I think the only sport that's allowing fans right now is gonna be the Dodgers and baseball because it's outdoors I'd assume that later this year When the season restarts for next year, they will be allowing fans by the time like September October I Know in Arizona. We have a couple customers They they they have like a little bubble type deal where they get like in a little cubes like a little Two four six type of deals, which is actually pretty cool. I don't think anybody's gonna trade right TWC. All right, so there you go guys. Here is Four boxes here four boxes here four boxes there if I roll a one two, we're gonna go to left three four middle five six the right side six one two three four five six So these two will be used for Other breaks and again, I think Jen's got into number two But lots of do another two box before box break So here you go serious to hockey nice John Tavares on there home of the young guns since 1990 We are unboxing doing a little four box break of Series to hockey just released today. I think that's cool All right, it's a me. I'm Mario We got a program of excellence Jonathan toes We go to the blockbuster John the tapes There you go Ian Mitchell young gun is our first one of the box We got the tech we got young guns here for the sharks Nicholas You hear the street sewer boat? We got our 10 Jamie Ben all of our Eggman Larson Dazzlers. I should love these Dazzler set cards. It's pretty cool Bowen Byron Pavel Look at that. We got an autograph Signature sensations Dan Vladaar gold tender for the Boston Bruins and Bruins. That's going to Troy It's a very cool photo right there Keondre Miller make Schmaltz canvas Key real Connor, McMichael Leon dry side award winners Little blank. Yeah, I wonder if they're just gonna keep a couple of the same announcers Sean Walker, are they're gonna hire some good announcers for the NHL? Nico Mikula for the blues and If we have multiples of these guys, we're just gonna give them out evenly. I'm sure they're pretty much gonna be the same William Carlson the bull Matias Brom Pierre Oliver Joseph Same thing with this one here. Sure. They'll be multiples of those the nudge Matisse for the blue jackets So here we go, I'm gonna put all the young guns in a little ball a little organized here The canvases together as well All right, next box That's second box out of the four next box Dylan Coughlin Shea Theodore and there you go Dylan Cousins very very nice Born in 2001 guys believe that Buffalo Sabres. That's a nice one right there Josh Bruce. I think Dylan Cousins would be selling pretty well too as well Calvin young guns here Ron McLoid We got Cole Smith for the National Predators young guns Kyle Pulmeri canvas Followed by a little bull Horvath Dazzlers Bowen Byram. Oh little MVP insert 15 out of 20 Kyrell used to Menko That's pretty nice. That's gonna be going right there. I believe to the Flyers Troy with that one Little Elia Sorokin you de canvas for the Islanders Bowen Byram No, so Rex when we so when we bought this Asia we were told that Some people were experiencing that some boxes will have no autos some boxes will have two autographs so just to make it kind of even and fair since kind of like the way Artifacts Hockey was this year where some boxes had no hits some boxes had double the hits We made it where buyer has a floor. So if someone has a say you purchased it today for the first time you buy a box if for some reason it's missing an autograph or Even even if you think like the box suck Like we're just gonna have you have the floor meaning that if you want to buy another box You have priority over somebody else right after you finish the first box You can't wait like three hours later But you know I want to get another box like right then and there you decide whether you want another box or not But it's just more for in case the autographs not there Then you can have priority to get another box because you don't want someone to take and snipe the next box after yours Because it could have two autographs But I haven't personally experienced any autographs missing McKenzie Young guns clear cut But I think that's the reason why we have that for just to be safe and If you decide you want to pass on the next box then someone else can just buy a box after you Alexander Barbanoff Yeah, I don't problem. I'm Dougie Hamilton canvas You have Felipe Thomas Harley and we got Steven Lorentz young guns for the Carolina Hurricanes Joseph Wall And there you go And Howard yeah, you know what I've pulled a lot of that dude. I haven't pulled I think I haven't pulled an autograph in a little bit but I Feel like he does pop out and most of those little team all about I mean those Asia boxes. They're really cool boxes man. Honestly. I love those Better than breaking a big-ass super jumbo box and they're like mini boxes, too like I sound people's like these are like These are like little Super jumbo boxes that you can like hang as an ornament for Christmas That's how tiny they are. Oh really? I did one on Monday. I don't know if you're watching They're really cool though. They're like legit little mini supers super jumbo boxes Just like four packs. I Would say they're the cutest little things But it's extremely hard to get that bone in Asia. We had someone have us find some and Not many people break that though. It's really tough to find All right. Good luck. Next ball. We got Joe Pawełski canvas We got Matias Bro, and we got a checklist soup sale and Dylan Kozum. So again, if we get two of these We're just gonna split them up evenly But if we get an odd number Then we'll have to randomize so right now we're gonna have to randomize this So that'll be Saber's Josh Proust and Otto Senators Brian Croft That's usually how I like to do it Darcy Kemper at the nice cool canvas card. I think they do the best photography in these canvas carts. They're pretty awesome for the sharks Malosh Michael Di Pietro and Anthony Angelo Alexis Laferne a marquee rookies That whole peachy platter. I'm gonna look this here Mike Riley Krebs And we got a relic here for the Colorado Avalanche Brayden Burke for the yolks JT John Tavares and a Dazzlers Nick Robertson and we got Michael Kempney to 100 UD exclusive Matias Alrighty Next box The last box of a four box break here of new release upper-decks here to hockey again another four boxes is on the website I mean we still haven't hit a Suitsill or a Caprice off yet, so I mean if we don't hit one here in the last box I'm sure that second break will continue to start flying To get it rolling guys It could be a pretty strong break to get to get done It looks like we're halfway there five left So we can run that back. Remember mosaic football Random Divisions two box break is down to one left. I can also still squeeze in that break Easily with that second series to break you guys want to get that done We hit a Dylan Kozans Young gun so far. I mean that's a pretty strong one, but and then that Suitsill and Kozans checklist young We have an autograph to actually It's pretty nice Well Josh you got randomized the Sabres, and I think you got one of the better hits so far You got a Dylan Kozans young gun But no Caprice off or Suitsill young guns yet Yeah, well, yeah, I forgot. Yeah, we got the key Andre too as well Yeah, I mean obviously every box is gonna be different But at least that gives you guys a better picture of me potentially what's hiding in the next four box break Nils hoglander Do the Sabres are terrible like I don't know what the hell happened. I mean honestly guys I love hockey You guys know that I'm a big big big Kingsman, but I haven't really been paying attention to like other teams I've just been focusing on the Kings and you know stuff like that Yeah, Sabres are terrible though. They're your record is horrible Igor Zuma Clean Keller Whenever it sells out man, I don't think any of the breaks are sold out So there's no schedule breaks once you see it sold out at zero then that's when it'll break Every five minutes nightbot drops the schedule. We have a little Google Doc. I just pinned it right now You can always check back there if it's sold out When is it gonna do right when it's gonna continue to or what it's gonna break? You know Brandon Hagel. I love Cal Peterson So we got him for I don't know her name and I'm happy he signed with us I think he knew that it was gonna take a couple years To be the starter, but I mean I think quickies pretty much on his last Last leg although, I still love Johnny quick. I still think he's still good, but Cal is definitely the future Roop hints Soderstrom La Furnier UD portraits Nice, I know I just I was actually looking through one of my bins right here, and I found like four or five of them I found a bunch of my Kempe future watch autographs Like premier RPAs. I was like, whoa, you know, this is in here and look at that fluorescence Dylan Kozans Nice break for the Sabres Brandon Hagel and La Furnier Dazzlers Rangers gonna Troy and a young guns Shane Bowers canvas. I like Blake Lazar. I don't know It's just kind of hard man because I don't know to me The Kings have so many young Young people young young players in their pipeline. It's just I don't know when they're all gonna get a shot like The Ontario rain is just loaded Gabe Velarde. That's the guy like Joseph if you're willing to sell this I'll buy this off of you. I don't know how much it costs, but Gotta get some Gabe Velarde. So let me know man Jordan grass and there you go. All righty guys, and there you go. So I'll do a quick recap of The young guns the inserts and canvases really quick like Ross miss Koopari has barely played like a game or two this year and he was a big draft pick for us from from Finland You know, obviously you still have Turk hot down in the Ontario Obviously have bifill. We just drafted and he's probably gonna play next year. I think he's pretty much there already I just there's no room for them. So it's like Brown and Carter and all these older players minus Copa tar I think or Gonna have to be gone soon. Just can't keep him forever. You know All right guys So here you go, here's a young guns recap. I'm just gonna go through them. You guys can see it So no Capri soft or a suit so Young guns in this four boxes Yeah, they definitely rebuilt big time after The last like three or four years And I think so too, I think they'll be contending soon, too If they can make the plows here, that'd be amazing, but I think next year they're gonna be right there Copa tar is still killing it for the Kings Dude is still going strong. Hope he never retires the Furnier portraits And then we had to randomize this one UD checklist right here And then here were some of the bigger cards Gave will already Dazzlers Dazzlers less of the Furnier Cozins Florescent we got a relic here for the avalanche. We got an exclusive here for the capitals Campany we got a used to Menko to 20 MVP Inserted 20 Dylan Cozins young guns and we got one autographed Dan Bladar So there you go guys very very nice so Here we go. Let's randomize that one checklist card And if you guys are looking forward to some other breaks, this one's still at one And it looks like this one might have sold out already two left so we can get number two going right after this So let's quickly get a dice roll a list randomizer and that'll be between the sends And sabers Let's roll Six and a one lucky number seven.  So there you go. Appreciate it guys. Jaspy's case breaks.com

Hopefully we can get there sometimes soon But yeah, let's head over to Al has read who is just over the boat Let's not spam spam press X otherwise you get back on the boat, which is not ideal I've done that way too many times and Yeah, not the best high nails welcome. How are you? Look at him. Look at him chilling there. Why can you not I? Don't know. I don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know not cool zero out of ten right Al has read hello Basilisk's so that old rascal Drake expects me to do his work for him does he the Basilisk is the king of lizards a six-legged razor clawed creature whose very vision is like venom They hunt by locking eyes with their prey and stunning them So if you should see a basilisk in the wild look away, I could go on but the basics will suffice You would think someone named Drake would have more to say on the matter Right, let's head back home and go to wizard city Real fast because we need to go back to Cyrus Drake Do so much just running around Also, this this quest is basically very similar to the fly one that we did what like two weeks ago It's quite funny. How my these two characters are like literally nearly the same level So, yeah, that's that's great. You're gonna be getting like back-to-back Spell quests for a bit Which is fun. Um, yeah Cyrus. Hello, I'm sure Al has read begrudge you every scrap of knowledge He taught you but it should be enough Now we shall turn to the more practical matter of procuring you the means to apply your knowledge You must now learn to summon the Basilisk Bringing it forth to dismay and be fuddled your foes with the force of its gaze However, you must work for such power the spell is not at my disposal to provide you It lies in dragon spire home to the dragon go speak to Milo's bookworm in the Athenium He will give you the means of summoning the Basilisk or put you on the right path So, yeah, as I said pretty similar to the last spell quest that I have done Where we have to go and defeat the collector, which is again what we have to do except this time We're on my myth and not my fire So we'll see how that goes where you can compare to see how long the fights take who knows will it go? Well, hopefully you never know myth is definitely had a lot of changes Since probably a lot of people have done Just anything really especially low level, so it'll be very interesting to see how it goes Yeah, I haven't really been questing too much solo on this character. So I'm interested to see how it goes We do have Grendel's amends, but I don't think I'll be using that Yeah, I think we'll probably just stick with what we've got here. It should work We do have a reshuffle just in case, but we shouldn't need that theoretically Um, yeah, I might put in another Couple of things Cyrus Drake sent you for a spell Haven't the Drake's meddled enough in the affairs of Dragon's Pire enough though I cannot provide you with such a spell because I don't have it anymore. It was taken by the hoarder Who's that? You don't know the hoarder is Morgan's most devout follower Hording magic in hope of her return the hoarder took many spells from the Athenaeum Including yours and keeps them within a tower in the plaza of conquest If you wish that spell you must defeat the hoarder and take the basilisk spell from the hoarder's books of myth. Good luck Right, it's so difficult to remember all that I once knew you know what would help Very loud very loud there it would help if you were not loud Just a suggestion. Um, what else do we need? Do we want to put in something else? Maybe ninja pigs just for fun because I don't use ninja pigs. So maybe I don't really use ninja pinks much It's a great spell though. Really really great. Love it Also probably infall Just in case and from memory we go to the teleporter hub and we hear the other way which is this way This way over here and he's in this tower over here. I think I cut last time Um, so you know exactly where he is just over here. Lovely lovely jubbly Um, he doesn't resist myth from memory. So should be not too difficult at all Um, he doesn't have any cheats as we found out last time Um, yeah Hmm actually what we might do is we might put orphan just in case just in case we might do an orphanly humongous um since authoris is now a AoE just in case you forgot that's the thing that has happened since um, probably many people have quested I wish we could just get all of the spells. Um, that would be cool And I wonder what other spells are kept here as well just out of curiosity Um, because I don't think this is ever expanded on Other than you know the lore of hey the hoarder is collecting spells for more games But what other spells like there looks to be so many Except we only get like one spell for each school basically Who knows what else is here? What other spells is the hoarder hoarding? I would love to know would love to know. Um, what is this weakness? Yeah, of course, we wouldn't be in dragon spy if we didn't have weaknesses. It's just how it works just how it works honestly just The only thing that is common in dragon spire is weakness. It's the only spell that they know I swear But hey, it's fine.  Right.  Um, at least twice if not thrice um, and then we'll authoris and hopefully kill but if not, we will follow up with hermitus or Ninja pigs or something along those lines and we should definitely kill then So, yeah, that is plan of attack for this fight. We shouldn't be too bad. There's a chance for oath Um, we can actually do three blades. So we might as well do that might as well thrice blade or trice blade. Who knows whatever it's called. I don't know. I ain't england That is a quote and a half. I ain't england and that is true. I am not england I am not the country of england Fun fact skier crow. What a spell. What a spell The only spell they get spammed by death wizards nowadays because it's very good way too good Luckily, we don't have to worry about that shield luckily Um, right and we could actually we could actually quad blade But we're just gonna go for three blades just to get as much damage as possible Simply because we have the weakness if we didn't have the weakness. I probably wouldn't have bladed again But um, you know because we are actually really really really good on this character This character has amazing stats Amazing stats. So this should probably kill. I would be very surprised if it doesn't Um, and with the correct we should definitely kill I would say But yeah, we're just gonna be sitting through this really long spell because it's kind of long Should really be I'm hoping that they're gonna fix a spell to make it look a bit better. Um Or hit everybody all at once That would be pretty cool Would be pretty good pretty good pretty good But hey, Elise is quicker than ra and forest lord Right gg Yikes, he he has some problems just saying he has some problems Yep, we did he get moving he does not like to be waiting around does he we know him He is all for punctuality all for punctuality right wizard city again again to wizard city Once more And then we just got one more thing which is the summoning of the basilisk And then we get this spell. So not too bad. Not too bad Not too bad. Right. Where is drake? He is over here over here Yes, yes, right in here right in the door lovely door And Professor drake hello You certainly took your time Stopped for a nap. Did you yeah, I did actually You'll be mad at that now that you've recovered the spell from dragon spire It is time to see if you have the wherewithal to use it Let me think of a place that will suffice for your trial run Should I send you back to dragon spire? No too obvious The skies of imperia You haven't been there yet pity Oh, I can't be bothered just do it at golem court The space outside the dragon's mouth cave should be room enough And it's fairly quiet in the court this time of year Go and see if you can cast the basilisk spell I'll be evaluating your performance when you return. So be prompt Okay, okay, we'll be as quick as we can We'll even teleport to the commons even though we could walk But we're lazy which makes sense because I'm very lazy Unfortunately, we can't be as quick as possible because we do not have a 50 speed mount on this character But I'm sure I'm sure 40% will be sufficient for syra strike And if not, he can provide the crowns. I'm hoping Imagine that that would never happen looks like the place drake described Oh, here he is. Here's mr. Basilisk. Look at him Look at him amazing. Hello, buddy Is he gonna do his thing? We need to get the power. Oh, yeah Nice. I'm surprised he didn't talk. Usually they talk Usually they talk but hey, that's cool. Yikes. That was unpleasant time to return to professor drake's classroom for evaluation Yep, let's do that and go back to the commons real fast Nice, nice, not too bad Hopefully we can get used to this spell. I don't know if what was changed. I think it might have been slightly Um, I don't think it was changed too much though. So that'll be cool. That'll be cool I don't think I'll use it too much at the moment just because um Medusa kind of surprises because this does don't over time which I'm not as fond of Um, especially on myth. I assume you didn't fail Use this spell with discretion. I suppose you'll get better with it in time Thank you, buddy Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, buddy Right, that is all for today. We managed to get a lovely basilisk spell which does um 320 damage upfront and then 750 over three rounds and stuns for one turn Um, which is pretty cool pretty cool. So it's kind of like a slightly buffed Medusa over three rounds plus an extra bit minus the stun Um, probably won't be using it too much. It's also nine perp still 80 accuracy Um, but yeah, it's nice to have one more spell for the arsenal Um, but yeah, thank you for watching.

Trying to stay healthy can seem like a full-time job sometimes, especially during a pandemic. But I'm here to make that goal a little easier. Welcome to the Nutrition Facts Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger. Today, an acronym that needs a little explaining. It's called SIBO, S-I-B-O, and it stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Here's my first story.  One of the conditions that may be considered for such a nonspecific presentation of symptoms is SIBO, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, a concept that has gained popularity on the internet. In addition to certain clinical research circles, SIBO is broadly defined as the excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine, as typically treated with antibiotics. But dispensing antibiotics to patients with such nonspecific common symptoms is not without risks. You could be fostering antibiotic resistance, there could be side effects, and wiping out your good bacteria could set you up for an invasion of bad bugs like C. diff, all for a condition that may not even be real. Even alternative medicine journals admit that SIBO is being overdiagnosed, creating confusion and fear. SIBO testing is overused and overly relied upon. Diagnoses are often handed out quickly and without adequate substantiation. Patients can be indoctrinated into thinking SIBO is a chronic condition that cannot be cleared and will require lifelong management. This is simply not true for most, and is an example of the damage done by overzealousness. The monster that we now perceive SIBO to be may be no more than a phantom. The traditional method for a diagnosis was a small bowel aspiration, an invasive test where a long tube is snaked down your throat to take a sample and count the bugs down there. This method has been almost entirely replaced with breath testing. See, normally a sugar called glucose is almost entirely absorbed in the small intestine, so it never makes it down to the colon. So if there is bacterial fermentation of that sugar that suggests you have bacteria up in your small intestine and can detect that fermentation because the bacteria produce specific gases that get absorbed in your bloodstream and then are breathed out from your lungs, which can then be detected with a breathalyzer-type machine. Previously, a sugar called lactulose was used, but lactulose breath tests weren't found to reliably detect the overgrowth of bacteria, so researchers switched to glucose. But when glucose was finally put to the test, it didn't work either. The bacterial load in the small intestine was similar for those testing positive or negative, so that's not a useful test, either. It turns out glucose can make it down to your colon after all. They labeled the glucose dose with a tracer and found that almost half of the positive results from glucose breath tests were false positives because they were just fermenting it down in their colon where your bacteria are supposed to be. So patients incorrectly labeled with SIBO may undergo multiple courses of antibiotics for a problem they don't even have. Why do experts keep recommending breath testing, then? Oh, you mean the experts at the conference supported by a breath testing company, most of whom had personally received funds from SIBO testing or antibiotic companies? And even if we could properly diagnose it, does it even matter? In those with digestive symptoms, there's a range of positivity for SIBO from approximately 4% to 84% all over the map. And there may be no difference in symptom scores between those testing positive versus those testing negative. So testing positive could mean anything. Who cares if some people have bacteria growing in their small intestines if that doesn't necessarily correlate with symptoms? Now, antibiotics can make people with irritable bowel type symptoms diagnosed with SIBO feel better, so doesn't that prove SIBO was the cause? No, because it can make just as many people feel better who are negative for SIBO. Currently, rifaxamin is most often used for SIBO, but it's not FDA approved for SIBO so the cost can be prohibitive. In fact, no drug has been approved for SIBO. So even if you have good insurance, you may be shelling out of pocket as much as 50 bucks a day, and you typically take it for two weeks. And while antibiotics may help in the short term, they may make things worse in the long term. Those who are given a course of antibiotics are more than three times as likely to report more bowel symptoms four months later than controls. Finally today, it may not be the number of bacteria growing in your small intestine, but the type of bacteria which can be corrected with diet. If you test more than a thousand patients suffering from irritable bowel type symptoms such as excess gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain for longer than six months who don't appear to have anything more serious going on, such as inflammatory bowel disease, a significant percentage were found to be suffering from lactose intolerance, intolerance to the milk sugar lactose. In infancy, we have an enzyme in our small intestines that digests milk sugar, but most of us understandably lose it after weaning. Although a genetic mutation has led to the persistence of the enzyme in a minority of adults, about 75% of the world's population malabsorb lactose and have lactose intolerance after age 30. A third, though, were diagnosed with SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The evidence for SIBO and IBS symptoms is shrouded in controversy, predominantly because of the fact that the breath tests used in clinical practice to diagnose SIBO are not valid as I explored in the last video. It's not even clear what the implications are of having more versus less bacteria growing in your small intestine since the number don't seem to correlate with symptoms. It turns out it's not the number, but the type. It's the kind of bugs you have growing in your small intestine. So it's small intestinal microbial dysbiosis, not overgrowth in general, but the wrong kind of growth that appears to underlie symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome. How can you prevent this from happening? Well, the symptoms appear to be correlated to a significant drop in the number of prevetella species. Remember them? Prevetella are healthy fiber feeders, suggestive of a higher fiber intake in healthy individuals, while the bugs found more in symptomatic patients ate sugar, which may reflect a higher dietary intake of sugars. Yes, but correlation doesn't mean causation. To prove cause and effect, you have to put it to the test, which is exactly what they did. Switching a group of healthy individuals who habitually ate a higher fiber diet to a more typical standard American low fiber diet with lots of sugar produced striking results within just 7 days. First, 80% developed new gastrointestinal symptoms out of the blue, such as bloating and abdominal pain that resolved on resumption of their more healthful, habitual, higher fiber diet. And the diet-related changes in the small intestinal microbiome were more predictive of symptoms and linked to an alteration in intestinal permeability. In other words, they developed a leaky gut within 7 days. And while some went from sebo-positive to sebo-negative or sebo-negative to sebo-positive, it didn't matter. Since the number of bacteria growing didn't correlate with symptoms, it was the type of bacteria growing.  Those are the magical by-parts that our good gut bugs make from fiber, which play an important role in your integrity, meaning keeping our gut from getting leaky. So while we don't have sound data that's something like a low FODMAP diet has any benefit for sebo-symptom patients, there have been more than a dozen randomized controlled trials putting fiber to the test. And overall, there was a significant improvement in symptoms among those randomized to increase their fiber intake. That may actually help explain why high fiber plant-based diets may prevent so many common diseases. The effects such diets have on the composition and metabolic activity of our microbiome. Our good gut bugs take the plant residues like fiber and produce health-promoting and cancer-suppressing metabolites like those short-chain fatty acids, which have profound anti-inflammatory properties. All the evidence points to a physiological need for about 50 grams of fiber a day, which is the amount contained in the traditional African diet and associated with the prevention of Westernized diseases. That's approximately twice what's typically recommended in three times more than what most people are getting day to day. Perhaps it should be no surprise we need so much. Even though we split from chimpanzees millions of years ago, there's still broad congruency in the composition of our respective microbiomes to this day. While they're still eating their 98 to 99% plant-based diets to feed their friendly flora with fiber, we've largely removed fiber-rich foods from our food supply.

How about GE's quarter? I think it'll be terrible. It'll be better in Q1, I hope, where they had negative cash flow. We're stuck in GE. We're stuck in SNAP 1. I think SNAP 1's probably overdone. I got to do more work on it with my team. We're stuck in Danaher for now, but at least we're up in Danaher. Another conglomerate. Of course, I look at the ones that are bad because the good ones take care of themselves. GE's going to have a new executive, John Flannery. He's got a kitchen sink, really. It's going to be Jeff Immelt's last one. Remember, what are they big in? They're in oil, not so good. They're in turbines. It really hasn't been that good. Locomotive's terrible. They're in infrastructure. You know what? I mean, they got in healthcare. They have to take out $2 billion worth of costs. They could use someone from Try-In on the board. I wish that would happen. They really need that badly. Most complacent company on earth. All right, and then finally, Honeywell. They're also set to report. Now, there's the least complacent industrial. I think Honeywell's going to have a remarkable quarter. Darius Damcheck is going to carry on exactly with what Dave Cody did. I think that Honeywell's got, they have amazing aerospace to business. Darius, considering Dan Loeb's suggestion of maybe they spin it off. Honeywell has sold divisions from time to time that I really like and what new companies that I really like, and it's all worked out. It's been one of the best performing industrials. Honeywell United Technologies often look at GE and say, what the heck are you thinking? That could be another what the heck are you thinking moment.
