Hi everyone, this is Chih-choh. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book reading. And what we're going to do today is read Sandman number 8, the first appearance of death from the second Sandman volume that came out in, began in January 1989. And the writer for this, the creator for this is Neil Gaiman. And in collaboration basically with Sam Keith and Mike Dringberg, my apologies for not pronouncing that correctly. They came up with this universe and the way Sandman began, the reason Sandman came to be was basically, it was sort of a, I don't know if it was a byproduct, but it basically came to be because of the UK invasion, during the UK invasion of artists, writers and artists and creators that hit the DC universe in the 1980s. And Alan Moore was really sort of one of the pioneers for this as was Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman and a lot of other British writers and creators, and artists that came out during that period. And this is Sandman number 8. I'm going to crack this open and hopefully we will lose the glare on it, because I have this in mylar. And this is the first appearance of this character here, death. And we're going to get into a little bit of history of the universe that basically Gaiman created, Neil Gaiman created, which is extremely in depth, very intricate universe. The mythology on it is brilliant. It's that par with every other great mythology throughout history that human beings have created. And that's saying a lot, right? And as you can imagine, there's a lot to talk about here. So this is going to be sort of a little introduction to the universe that Neil Gaiman created and the character here that we're going to read the first appearance of, right? And the way it came out was basically DC Comics, right? Had an idea to re-envision the Sandman character that was really created in the golden age of comics. The first appearance came out in 1939, I believe. And basically that character had certain attributes of the Sandman character that was sort of reintroduced, revamped in 1970s and 1974 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, right? And what basically happened was DC Comics approached Neil Gaiman and they asked him to reimagine the Sandman character and try to create a series around it. And Neil Gaiman, just so you know, he was a British writer and his fame, he basically acquired a lot of fame from this series and he's published a tremendous amount of comic books and a tremendous amount of books based on this universe as well as other fantasy science fiction universes that he's created, okay? I know sort of jumping around a little bit, but there's a lot there to unpack and we're going to try to tackle some of that, okay? So this is the first appearance of Death, okay? Basically created by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringeberg, right? Because Sam Keith that initially was involved with the Sandman books, he basically worked on issue number one to five and after that he left the series and Mike, I won't pronounce the name, but Mike was basically brought on to work on the Sandman universe with Neil Gaiman and Mike basically worked on 11 issues and there was a lot of other artists and pencilers and inkers that worked on this series as well. There were basically three to four creators that stayed with the series, all 75 issues for the whole run. One of them was obviously Neil Gaiman that wrote this series, right? Envisioned the series. The other person was Todd Klein which did the lettering for the series and the lettering for the series is absolutely brilliant. I'll give you a taste of some of the artwork that we're talking about here. Okay, this is the first straight paperback. I don't know if it's the first print of it or not. I should be able to find this out. I don't know if it's the first print. It might be the first print, but that introduction copy, that cover on completion, I don't know if this is the first print but basically this is the type of artwork that we're talking about. It is absolutely brilliant, magnificent. It might have been a little rougher at the beginning because the universe was just starting to be created. And this is Sam Keith's work that we see here and it's only for the first five issues but what you end up seeing with the lettering. Let me find a good panel for you for the lettering about where we see dream talking. And it was groundbreaking as far as the lettering is concerned because basically the first character that we're going to take a look at or the character that we're going to take a look at right now is death. And death is part of a family, siblings that are called the endless and there's seven endless characters. There's seven siblings that occupy this universe and occupy basically their realm, which is called the dreaming. And what they ended up doing for this series was basically for each of the seven endless characters and the characters were basically called dream which is the main character of the Sandman universe and dream is this character right here. Also known as Morpheus. Morpheus, I believe so anyway. What we're going to refer to him is dream. For each of the siblings from the endless Todd Klein came up with different word balloon styles.  And each of the seven siblings had different type of lettering on them and the seven siblings are known as dream, death which is first appearance in Sandman library that we're going to read. Destiny, desire, destruction, despair and delirium which was also known as delight. Also went by the name delight. So here is dream talking and the lettering is unique especially for dream and this sort of comes into play towards the end of the Sandman series. I've read spoilers unfortunately. I mean take a look at this. This is classic, classic Sam Keith. Look at that beautiful, beautiful artwork. Absolutely magnificent series. So Todd Klein that the lettering for this series he was with it from issue number one all the way to issue number 75 as far as I know, okay. And the one person that really contributed a fair bit to the comic book in terms of its uniqueness was Dave McKeon and Dave McKeon did all the covers for all 75 issues of the Sandman series. So there was a brilliant consistency for this universe that Neil Gaiman created, okay. And just to let you know, one more thing I'd like to mention because I mentioned about Alan Moore, right. And if you recall we did a, I put out a video regarding sort of a local television program I used to watch at university during the early 1990s and it was called Prisoners of Gravity and Prisoners of Gravity was a series that sort of local television series that was available in Ontario on a local TV channel that was basically about science fiction fantasy comic book genre talking about all the possibilities of our society and some of the characters and just basically universes being shared through science fiction fantasy and the comic book genres, right. And in that series that I believe ran for about five years or so you can take a look at the video we put out talking about that series with Commander Rick, right. But in that series, Commander Rick interviewed Neil Gaiman a few times or a couple of times at least and he cut parts of those interviews into multiple videos, right. Multiple segments, right. But he had a couple of in-depth interviews with Neil Gaiman and I remember in one of those interviews he asked Neil Gaiman how he got into comic books and how it is he thought about creating comic books coming up with the SAMA Universe and Miracle Man and stuff like that and how it was taking over from Alan Moore and I recall him mentioning that and I'm going by memory here I wasn't able to track down that video. There was a lot. I went down the rabbit hole with this reading because I really wanted to do it justice, right. Because if anybody, if you read this universe the SAMA Universe it deserves to be portrayed in the right light which is something that I'm trying to do give you the history of the creator DC Comics how it played out in the comic book industry which was extremely important and how it was that came to be, right. And basically Neil Gaiman in that interview this is something that he mentioned. He stated that he was at a train station with his father and I'm going by memory here so don't quote me on this if you can please track down that video and I will if I track it down I will link it in the description of this video he stated that he was in a train station with his father waiting for the train to come and while they were waiting he went into a local convenience store and he picked up an issue of Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore and I believe he mentioned it was a first issue of Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore not the first issue that Alan Moore took over from the previous writer Alan Moore in the first issue was sort of finishing off the story from the previous writer but issue number 21 I believe it's issue number 21 of Alan Moore Swamp Thing and if you haven't read this series this is basically the first two trades of Alan Moore Swamp Thing it collects issue number 21 all the way to number 34 I believe if I'm not mistaken let's check this out let's make sure we're correct on this this one is the second one it collects issue number 28 to 34 and there's multiple printings of this I believe this is the first printing and this one is the first printing and this collects issue number 21 to number 27 and Neil Gaiman mentioned that the first time he really appreciated what comic books were capable of is when he picked up this issue Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore and the other creators which is Steven Beset and John Toth-Libbon and he read through this and it blew his mind and that planted a seed for him where he really went on the course to create comic books, to write for comic books and this series as an aside is absolutely magnificent it is a must-read for any comic book aficionado anyone who's interested in science fiction, fantasy anyone who's interested in lore, mythology and basically humanity in our society absolutely brilliant I just wanted to lay that out there just to give you a feel of where Alan Moore where Neil Gaiman has come from and what he was the footsteps he was following and he did a magnificent job magnificent job on everything that he did and his masterpiece as many would agree was Sandman so this is issue number 8 this is what we're going to read now just to give you a little history of the comic book medium and how Sandman played out how important it was for the comic book industry and this medium that we share information artists and creators create contests for us to consume now Sandman came out a year after Hal Blazer number 1, Hal Blazer was introduced DC Comics was printing some comic books Swamp Think was one of them Hal Blazer was one of them Sandman was one of them Animal Man, Doom Patrol were two other ones printing some series titles that were more mature related but one thing that was going on back in the 1990s, 1980s it started off in the 1950s and we've talked about it and that's the comic code authority censorship in comic books and all of this came out in the golden age of comics where a book was really saying that comic books were polluting children's minds and a whole bunch of hysteria broke out and people freaked out and there was comic book burnings and boycotts and there was congressional hearings and what not and we covered a fair bit of that information in a previous video we did or two videos we did one of them was talking about the comic code authority and reading the code itself so DC Comics was printing some comics which were a little bit more mature related so they saw the tides turning so what they ended up doing was under the control of DC Comics they came up with a new imprint which was called vertical this name right here and vertical exists right now to this day it's an imprint of DC Comics sort of a subsidiary of DC Comics where they print more mature content and what DC decided to do during that time and this was in 1993 where the vertical imprint came to be what they decided to do was create the vertical imprint and release all the titles that were more mature under the vertical imprint and that included Sandman Doom Patrol Animal Man Black Orchards and a whole bunch of stuff and just to show you how important this vertical imprint is to the comic book medium and to a lot of readers including myself because death is one of the most beloved characters in the DC Universe it is extremely important and there's a lot of people that got into reading comics because of Sandman because of Neil Gaiman's work and this is sort of a trade paperback that I picked up a while ago, I'm not sure when this was printed I believe I picked this up at a discount bin of all places when was this printed and this sort of gives you a history this trade paperback is called vertical vision artwork from the cutting edge of comics so they came up, DC Comics came up with this imprint to sort of put all the titles that were not this was printed in 2000 all the titles that were sort of more mature related under the vertical title and basically this book trade paperback is really nice actually if you look at your comic book history it sort of goes through and breaks down what was going on with vertical comics and DC comics at the beginning and then sort of the different phases of things kicking in all the way to trans metropolitan everything that's being put out right now from preacher and whatnot and it goes through and it gives you a layout of the first few books actually a lot of the books up to 2000 I guess that they were printing under the vertical imprint and this is Swamp Thing and this is brilliant and Swamp Thing I believe went under the vertical imprint with issue number 47 or might have been Sandman that went into the vertical umbrella with issue number 47 and this is Swamp Thing I mean brilliant artwork and brilliant storytelling this is Hal Blazer and as you know Hal Blazer as far as I'm concerned was one of the greatest titles ever created and this is Dave McKeon did a lot of covers for Hal Blazer as well and this is one of the covers this is one of my favorite covers from Hal Blazer Hal Blazer number 61 done by Glenn Fabby and you can flip through this I believe Sandman is the next one that they talk about Sandman is the next one that's covered in this trade paper back shows you some of the artwork talks about some of the history some of the artist creators Sandman is another title that came out that was based on the dreaming being the universe that the endless their home basically and the endless are basically the character death being one of the seven siblings of the endless they're basically beyond gods they've existed since the beginning of time and they basically have certain power that they use based on the function that they have been assigned to be right books of magic was absolutely magnificent as well and this was written by New York and I love the books of magic especially the first the prestige format that came out I believe it was three or four prestige format right so the endless are basically people consider them to be natural forces and they have a certain function in life and their lives cannot end unless they want their lives to end and that has occurred a couple of times in the endless mythology so we won't continue flipping animal man was absolutely magnificent as well especially when Grand Morrison's animal man I guess you would call this so that's the vertical vision if you can get your hands on the trade paperback you'll give you a nice history and a sort of chronological order of how important vertical comics was to the comic book medium and just on the point of vertical comics now vertical comics the imprint came to be in 1993 and that trade paperback came out in 2000 so we have a seven years of history in that trade paperback talking about what transpires since 1993 and the way DC comics released vertical title the imprint was basically by releasing a death miniseries this is the first issue this is the second issue and I have the third issue as well they released the death 3 issue series and number 3 is buried somewhere and at the same time they were releasing this they converted all the titles that they were going to release under the vertical title with the vertical logo on there which included Sandman with issue number 47 included animal man swamp thing and whatnot so death was really the starting point of vertical comics and the special that they had DC really pushed this imprint this series and the way things were going to unfold just to let people know that this was not going to abide by the comic code authority the incentive that they gave comic book retailers at the time was that if they had ordered 25 issues of the first vertical imprint for each of the titles they would get a special death platinum issue death platinum of number 1 so it was a sort of incentive cover of death number 1 what was called the platinum death number 1 and retailers that ordered at least 25 issues of each of the first vertical titles they would get a copy of death number 1 and I have a copy of that unfortunately it's not in amazing shape but that's another story that we'll get into at some point most likely so there's 3 issues miniseries and this was a fantastic little miniseries and as far as where death has gone since Sandman now Sandman the story arc existed outside of the main DC Universe for quite some time they crossed over with some of the vertical titles but death made her first appearance in the main DC Universe with action comics number 894 and this is the artwork for the first appearance of death in the regular DC Universe and should we crack this open take a look at how death looked like in this well it looked like that but basically she and I've read this I got this in a previous comic book and I showed it to you I hadn't had this before and let me just take this off let's put the tape here and let's take a look at this basically the story of this is Lex Luthor is dying dead on the verge of death meets him because death is basically sort of reimagining of the death character that we know of in mythology and her role is really to be present when someone dies and when someone is born so her power is sort of to help in the transition of life to a certain degree I'll read you a couple of things that I want to read you quotes that I came across when I was going down the rabbit hole for this but this is sort of the artwork for this comic book and you can get this fairly on the cheap I've seen it go for $2 or $5 if you go and buy it now on eBay it's more expensive it's just the auctions that you can get it on the cheap if you're lucky enough so keep that image in mind because when we read Sandman number 8 it's the same character but it's a little heavier to a certain degree and each artist has their own sort of reimagining of the character and just one more note regarding death before I read you a couple of quotes that I want to read you regarding this book that is just recently this year I guess it's been in the works couple of years for DC Comics basically DC Comics released their first issue of what is called the dreaming and I believe there was 3 number 1 issues telling different stories telling different stories there were standalone comics but it's basically bringing the Sandman universe into the fold of the whole DC universe and this was issue number 1 of the dreaming the Sandman universe entering the realm of the DC universe where they've announced that they're going to be creating a lot of new characters and bringing back some of the older characters and it's going to take some of the secondary tertiary characters that were introduced in the dreaming series which was I believe 60 issues and expanding on them so just DJ's basically opened up a whole new universe with tremendous potential that we're going to have the pleasure to read and I still haven't read this one yet so I can't tell you what's really going on in this and I didn't really want to give any spoilers to myself so I didn't really look up to see what the story was that was being shared in this standalone so aside from that let me put these guys away and what we're going to do, we're going to crack open Sandman number 8 and I'm just hoping that I covered as much as I can in this short little introduction to the DC universe or to Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe that he created and this comic book as far as Greek goes I'm not sure if this is the issue that I've read when I bought it because I have a handful of copies of this I loved Sandman when it was coming out but this comic would be considered to be there's a little bit of coloring I don't know if it's a smudge but where I guess right there but this would be considered a 9.2 if you were generous you would give a 9.4 if you weren't generous you would give it a 9 so this is graded at near mint near mint minus maybe near mint plus I believe is 9.6 so it's not a 9.6 not in my book anyway maybe some people will grade it as 9.6 I doubt it and the back cover I would give this a 9.2 personally near mint minus if you weren't being very generous at all you were being extremely hard and unforgiving you would give it a very fine near mint which is 9.0 now before we get into the reading of this let me read you a couple of quotes because I was going to summarize who this character is and the endless but I want to read you and where this character came to be and this character came to be from a real life person so let me read you I printed some quotes here my apologies I'm going to read this to you but I think it's important to read these to you and my printer still I haven't fixed it up yet but it works now regarding the endless which death is one of them the seven siblings that have been around since the beginning of time they have existed for billions of years and from some accounts they will come to be they will only end when this universe ends and they will come to be when a new universe is created right here's a quote this is in Sandman volume 2 number 48 and this is destruction which is one of the endless explaining who the endless are right the endless are merely patterns the endless are ideas the endless are wave functions the endless are repeating motives the endless are echoes of darkness and nothing more and even our existence are brief and bounded none of us will last longer than this version of the universe and that's one of the endless saying who the endless are and here's another little write up from who death of the endless is death of the endless came into existence shortly after the first life forms appeared in the universe she would function as the embodiment of death until the very last living thing died and after that she was destined to put the universe to rest death is both lord and personification of all death and life death meets with the recently deceased and guides them into their new existence unlike most personifications of death she also visits people as they are born evidently only she seems to remember these encounters and in terms of immortality of the endless like all endless death can only be heard besides if an endless is destroyed is personification and powers are instantly transmitted to another person who must become the new embodiment of the aspect death is really a natural force of function that death has to be and here's another quote regarding the origin of death according to Neil Gaiman the initial visual design of death was based on a friend of Mike Tringenberg's named Cinnamon Hadley and let me read you this quote from Neil Gaiman and Mike is basically the artist that took over with issue number he inked issue number 1 to 6 and he took over the penciling work from issue number 7 I believe and this is Neil Gaiman talking about death death is the only major character whose visuals didn't spring from me that credit goes to Mike Tringenberg in my original salmon outline I suggested death look like rock star Nico in 1968 with the perfect cheekbones and perfect face she has on the cover of her Chelsea girl album but Mike Tringenberg had his own ideas so he sent me a drawing based on a woman he knew named Cinnamon Hadley the drawing that was later printed in Sandman 11 and I looked at it at the immediate reaction of wow that's really cool later that day Dave McKeon and I went to dinner in Chelsea at the my old dutch pancake house and the waitress who served us was a kind of vision she was American had long black hair was dressed entirely in black black jeans t-shirt etc and wore a big silver anchor on a silver necklace and she looked exactly like Mike Tringenberg's drawing of death end quote and the person that death was sort of created the visual Cinnamon Hadley she passed away at the age of 48 January 6th this year in 2018 and at the time when she passed away hit my radar I ended up reading the trade paper back again issue number 1-8 of Sandman but here is I'll provide the links to this website in the description of this video but here is an interview that was conducted by Cinnamon hopefully I'm pronouncing that right and this is the question that they asked her right how did you get involved with Neil Gaiman and this is her reply and I'm quoting right now Mike Tringberg the original artist for the Sandman was a good friend of mine who could use me as a character for a comic book I said sure I didn't know anything about comics and I didn't know it was even anything special I certainly had no idea it would be what it is now funny story about 3 years after Mike asked me if you could use my likeness I was living in Houston having moved from Salt Lake City and I was at a friend's house my friend told me his favorite comic was the Sandman and showed me an issue when I opened it I saw a picture of myself staring back at me it was one of the two photographs actually used and just inked over I said oh my god that's me I had no idea I was in the Sandman and I had even forgotten about being asked by Mike as the model I thought that was important to share with you guys and what we'll do right now is have a read through Sandman but there's one other thing I want to show you and I've shown you this in a previous video that we did when I showed you my graded comic book collection I have maybe eight of them and three of them are issue number one two and three of Sandman that's how important this series is to me and many other people and as far as I'm concerned that's how collectible it is and I bought these as far as I'm concerned on the cheap cheap cheap and these prices here they're Canadian so this comes out to about $78 $80 US so this is Sandman number eight and number one graded at 9.4 for those of you that like graded comics I thought you'd get a kick out of this here's Sandman number two graded at 9.4 and check this out I paid $50 Canadian for it basically around $40 US a little bit less here is Sandman number three graded at 9.6 that cost me $40 Canadian which is around $28, $30 or $32 Canadian or US my apologies right and these are three of the prides in my collection as well and I do have the original Sandman series fairly deep so I thought what we do now since we've done a nice little intro to this is have a read through this and what I'm going to do as well there's a pretty in-depth introduction at the beginning of this and we're going to read the first page of it and the last paragraph of that introduction because it sort of gives you a summary of where we are and just to give you a heads up here actually I'll show it to you, I'll show you the panels after we do that reading in the trade paper rack maybe but a brilliant cover, absolutely beautiful the cover again by Dave McKeon take a look at this publisher, publisherial publisher editorial I guess, Janet Kahn president and publisher DC Comics let's read the first couple of paragraphs of this but I want to read you mainly, I'm going to read you some of these things sort of the quotes and I want to read you this first page sort of that builds up to the story here, okay but I haven't read this yet so let's just read the first couple of pages a couple of paragraphs of this ok I walked into Mike Gold's office and stopped short, there on his desk was a thrilling piece of artwork Hawksman Visage resonated resonated from out of the background bold, imperious primal and all his primitive hawk gear the burnished golds of his helmet pulsated against the basic field of midnight blue this was a character to be reckoned with, hawk world will be in store so this is sort of giving you let's check this out this is sort of talking about what DC Comics is releasing I guess, right so we'll skip that part because it's not really related to the Sandman universe and we've got a fair bit of reading to do in this, right Sandman goes beyond their wildest dreams so these are some creators that have commented on Sandman so let's read, well there's Alan Moore here for sure Steve Bissetta's work with Alan Moore so who's this guy Ramsay Campbell, author, sacred, stiff incarnate, hungry, moon, the influence let's read that first one, okay the theme and territory of dreaming are as vast as the imagination of whoever deals with them and I couldn't wish for better guys than Neil Gaiman and his collaborators their Sandman is clearly an adventure for them and a treat for the rest of us unpredictable as a dream, it should be a cause for rejoicing for all those who value the fantastic, right here's Alan Moore okay, with Sandman mainstream comic book fantasy finally moves from enchanted forests populated by elves and barbarians towards the haunted contemporary dreamscape of Jonathan Carroll or Clive Barker, bizarre and fascinating that's a pretty high praise for Alan Moore Steve Bissetta, Sandman is the latest and most playful entry in DC's horror trilogy Swamp Thing and Hellblazer, honorably preceded and dark, merciless journey into the dream plane written with precision, wit and vision forget the golden age Sandman Neil Gaiman's Sandman is here to stay agreed, agreed, agreed even though he liked the golden age Sandman and what Kirby had done, right Clive Barker, what does Clive Barker say Neil Gaiman is a star right, I can look at some of these who else should we read fantasy author, wow this is high praise there's a lot of praise on this let's read the first page intro in the beginning, but of course we never see the beginning we come in the middle after the lights have gone down and try to make sense of the story so far whisper to our neighbors, who's he, who's she have they met each other before, we get by in this case let us imagine our neighbor to be to be tall, rope perhaps and old, monkish garments his face hidden in the shadows of his cowl he smells of age and dust, not unpleasantly and in his hands he holds a book as he opens the book, leather bound undoubtedly and every word in it, traced meticulously by hand, we hear the click of metal and realize the book is chained chained to his wrist, never mind we have seen strange things in dreams and fictions are merely frozen dreams linked images with some semblance of structure, they are not to be trusted no more than the people who create them are we dreaming, possibly but the man in the robe talking, his voice is like the rustling of old parchment in the library late at night when the people have gone home and the books begin to read themselves we strain to listen, the story so far and this part of it goes into what has transpired in Sandman 1 it was not enough that Roger Berger was a man, he was a vain one and presumptuous, he was not contempt with riches or with the leadership of the old order of ancient mysteries, although the order was in no wise ancient, having been founded only 16 years earlier at the return of the century by Berger himself he desired notoriety among his peers and he craved physical immortality the year was 1916 in the world outside the great war dragged on and a funny ring, his Sussex house Derrick Berger conceived the plan he would capture death, bind the reaper and death that he is talking about here is the death, the first appearance that we are going to read but this is occurring in Sandman 1 with an invocation with a stolen grimoire he performed a rite of summoning I suspect he was in true surprise when his invocation bore fruit when a figure took shape in the circle in the basement of his manor, it was not death the man in the circle was dressed in black his head hidden by a helm carved of bone and glass and metal fires danced in the velvet darkness of his robe around his neck hung a precious stone a ruby and by his side was a leather pouch drawn tight at the top by cords, but did Berger's know then what he had got, did he guess at the forces that had already weakened Morpheus the lord of dreams, that Berger's chance of summoning had provoked the final straw to someone, something already tried tried almost beyond endurance ok, now what's being explained there is what is being shown in Sandman the first few pages of Sandman that's number one, the one that I have graded and I have other copies of it as well showing this, showing this he does the magic invocation and dream appears and that is what is being explained and the text goes through and explains what has occurred so far up to issue number eight, which this issue is happening, and keep in mind this person that captured dream was really trying to capture death now, let's go to the text here and let me read you this paragraph here ok, we are still listening to the story waiting for some kind of conclusion when our neighbor closes his book, the cold chains that bind, blind destiny to his book, Ching quietly the story of course, far from finished but we know we will get no more of it, from this source and this comforted, we take our leaves, the mists are rising and it is time to be getting back we come in the middle watch for a time, leave before the lights go up, if there are no beginnings then there can be no endings we are alone in the darkness, every answer prompts another question and things are happening all the time that's all you need to know for the time being trust me, the story so far maybe it's all we can ever hope for number eight, the writer Neil Gaiman artist Mike Dringenberg Malcolm Jones III colors by Robbie Bosch associate editor Art Young editor Karen Berger the sound of her wings and this is dream here the person we saw that was captured let's take a look at the artwork hey mister, someone calls out that was a killer catch man totally wicked, can I have the ball back no, this? here sitting kicks it thanks, you want to play ball? no, no, thank you I am feeding the pigeons, dream says that's cool, what are you doing death says feeding the pigeons you do that too much, you know what you get that's a line from Mary Poppins I love that movie you ever see it? there's this guy who's literally a banker and he doesn't have time for his family or for living or anything and Mary Poppins, she comes down from the clouds and she shows him what's important fun, flying kites, all that stuff super, super fragilistic expend the cautious, super fragile I could never say this when I was watching Mary Poppins super fragilistic expend the cautious what dream says? pigeons sitting on his head super cali fragilistic expialidocious super califragilistic expialidocious, that's great literally, fabulous word it means, you know, great wonderful kimchi, gnarly death says peachy keen waga waga waga vroom, yay it's a cute movie, maybe not everybody's thing but you know, dick van dykes British accent defies belief, oh, it's a jolly old dyke when you marry pence penis you know, cute jolly, old dyke when you marry Poppins jolly, that's Mary Poppins only when you marry Poppins I can't understand those words he's a little sad okay, so what's the matter? death asks so what's the matter, Dreama? or death asks what do you mean, Dreama? what's the matter? I know something's wrong I mean, look at you, sitting there moping it isn't like you perhaps it isn't I don't know what's wrong but you're right something is, something is the matter when they captured me imprisoned in their box I had just one thought, revenge by the time I freed myself my original captor had gone the way of mortals and I took my vengeance on his son it felt, it felt fine I suppose but it didn't feel as satisfying as I'd expected in the interim my dream world had fallen apart I needed my tools long since stolen and scattered one by one I found them eventually I found them the pouch was relatively easy to regain the helmet I challenged the demon dared the hordes of hell face down Lucifer himself ah that left only the ruby the ruby was a human had been using it I hate to think what toll it must have taken on his mind or his soul we fought in dreams the stone no longer mine was sucking me into its fabric it was terrible and thinking it was my life he was crushing he destroyed the ruby he destroyed it it freed me I freed everything it freed everything of me that was in the stone I got it all back I was more powerful than I had been in eons I returned the human to the madhouse you see until then I'd been driven I had a true quest a purpose beyond my function and then suddenly the quest was over I felt drained does that make sense I had been sure that as soon as I had everything back I'd feel good but inside I felt worse than when I started I feel like nothing you asked there you asked I'm sorry maybe I don't have an answer have you finished? that says yes could have called me you know I didn't want to worry you dream says I don't believe it let me tell you something dream and I'm only going to say say this once so you better pay attention

बलो भीड, बलो उन्नात ममोशीड, शीरि नेहारि आमारि नातो शीरि शिखार ही माद्द्रीड, बलो भीड, बलो महा भिष्शेर, महा ताश्पारि, चन्र शूर्ज ग्रोटार चाडि, फूलोग, दूलोग, गोलोग, भेदिया, खोदा अशंणार श्चेदिया, बलो भीड, भीड, शीरि, बलो महाद्रीड, Nuzrul at the age of 10 was made the village Mulla and Muazin, caller for prayers at the mosque. Soon he was drawn into a group of travelling musicians, the Leto. He became conversant in Hindu mythology and the folk culture of Bengal, while composing dramas for Leto teams. Reading major Bengali newspapers, Nuzrul became aware of the world developments like the Bolshevik Revolution. Nuzrul now started writing in earnest. His first published piece was Bhāhuṁdhile Ṣaṭṭukahini or Autobiography of a Vagabond in 1919 in a literary journal of liberal Bengali Muslims. Nuzrul went on to publish several poems like Mukti or Freedom in the bongyo-musulman Shahitha Putrika. He introduced guzzles in Bengali for the first time. Nuzrul's writing career took off as a journalist. With Muzaffar Ahmed, he brought out the evening daily Nobujuq with the support of prominent Muslim politician Fazlul Haq. Nuzrul's language of protest was a unique blend of metaphors drawn from both Islam and Hinduism. In August 1922, Nuzrul began publishing his own bivikli paper with meager resources. He called it Thumketu or Comet. In November 1922, the British authorities banned Thumketu, arrested Nuzrul and sentenced him to a year's rigorous imprisonment. Prison could not silence Nuzrul's pen, stirring poems like Shikol Porachol composed in 1924 and Srishti Shukerul Lase composed in 1923, where impassioned cries of a free spirit. On his release from prison in December 1923, he hastened to Kumilla and proposed marriage to Pramila, whom he called his Bijoyini, the victorious one. An untiring advocate of gender equality, Nuzrul made an inspiring plea in his poem Nari. Nuzrul's musical career received a boost in 1928 when the British-owned gramophone company overcame its prejudice and saw the wisdom of making a handsome offer to Nuzrul to record his songs and become the music trainer. Nuzrul's Islamic music had a significant liberalizing impact on tradition-bound Muslim society. In 1931, Nuzrul entered the world of theatre and films and later joined Calcutta Radio as story and scriptwriter and music director. In the middle of a radio broadcast in 1942, Nuzrul suddenly felt the power of speech ebbing out of him, along with his mental faculties. Honours poured in. Calcutta University bestowed its prestigious Jaguttarini Gold Medal on Nuzrul in 1945. The Indian government honoured him with the Padma Bhushan in 1960. On August 29, 1976, Nuzrul passed away. His wife and a son having already pre-diseased him. Nuzrul's voice may have been silenced forever. Yet his soul-rousing message of his poems and songs echoes in the hearts of millions of Indians.


What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony, I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we are in the new 2021 Mazda CX-5, courtesy of Jackie Umbalvo Mazda in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so wanting to check out the CX-5 yet again for another year, because of course this is a very safe vehicle, incredible reliability on this one. I believe Consumer Reports puts it actually at well above average, which is the highest reliability rating that they give out. All-wheel drive available for the winner of course, and there's actually several big changes. So having said all that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2021 CX-5, starting with the Sport, starting at $25,270, touring for $27,010, Carbon Edition, which is a neutral level for the 2021 model year. This one starts at $28,855, Carbon Edition Turbo for $30,660, Grand Touring for $30,460, Grand Touring Reserve for $35,285, and lastly the Signature, which by the way is the one we have today, starting at $37,405. And by the way, that was all pricing for the front-wheel drive configuration for the CX-5. If you wanted to add all-wheel drive to any of those prices, simply add $1,400 there. But as you can probably conclude by the trim level names, there are two different engine configurations available for the CX-5. First one belonging to the Sport, Touring, Carbon Edition, and Grand Touring. This one is going to be a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder engine, putting out 187 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 186 pound-feet of torque available at 4,000 RPM, again sent to front wheels or all wheels to a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters for the Grand Touring trim level and up with that engine configuration. Redline comes in at approximately 6,500 RPM, zero to 60 in 8.3 seconds, with MPG numbers coming in at 25 in the city, 31 on the highway for the front-wheel drive, 24 city, 30 on the highway then for the all-wheel drive configuration. But so then there is the other engine configuration available for this one, which is the one we have today and this one is going to be a 2.5 liter turbo charged inline-four cylinder engine. This one puts out 250 horsepower at 5,000 RPM, 320 pound-feet of torque available at 2,500 RPM. That's a crazy torque number considering the size of the CX-5, so that's dang impressive if you ask me. Sent to front wheels or all wheels to a six-speed automatic. Redline comes in at 6,300 RPM, zero to 60, approximately 6.4 seconds. And you guys know we will be testing that out in a little bit here. Paddle shifters are going to be available for this one as well. I do happen to have them too. And MPG numbers come in at 23 in the city, 28 highway for the front-wheel drive, 22 city, 27 on the highway for the all-wheel drive configuration and by the way, the recommended fuel for this particular engine configuration is premium unleaded. Although you can put regular unleaded in it, the trade-off to that is those power numbers will be pretty substantially reduced. So if you wanted a good bit of extra power, go ahead and fill it up with premium unleaded fuel basically. But before we do any kind of paddle shifter test or acceleration test in the CX-5, I did want to mention there is a sport driving mode and that is going to be located just to the left of the shifter that will adjust things like the shift points and the throttle response. And now having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. I want to test out the paddle shifters first and let's see how quickly they are going to react to us here. All right, you guys. So before we do this paddle shifter test, I did push the shifter all the way to the back and to the left. That is going to give me full control over the shifting and let's go ahead and pull out onto the road here and we're in first gear. There we go. What that was. All right, there is a little bit of a delay, but you know what? I still glad Mazda put paddle shifters on this one because if anything, you can use them for engine braking when it starts to snow out if you're going down a hill. Use the paddle shifters to downshift to do a little bit of engine braking rather than actually hitting the brakes. So you're less inclined to slide off the road or things like that. So it's a good reason they're there at least for that. But anyways, I'm going to go ahead and slide the shifter all the way to the back and to the right that is going to get full control back to the CX-5. And once again, let's find a straightaway and let's see if the CX-5 really does feel like it can hit 60 in 6.4 seconds. All right, slight uphill acceleration here, but it's kind of loud. That'll work. Certainly no issues in merging onto the highway. Not the quickest thing in the world, but dang, still a pretty darn good acceleration for an SUV. I kind of like the engine noise that it was giving off there too when I was really hitting the gas. So definitely planning to merge onto the highway or anything like that. But to go along with that acceleration, as always, braking is equally important. And so up front, you will find 11.7 inch ventilated front disc for the base engine configuration. 12.2 inch ventilated front disc if you were to go with that turbocharged engine that we have today. Then in the back, 11.9 inch solid rear disc, whichever engine configuration that you go with. As far as that 60 to zero stopping distance goes, that comes in at 123 feet. And as far as that braking feel goes, definitely no issues with that. It feels like it brings you to a stop very quickly. There's no brake pedal delay or anything like that there.  As far as the steering feel goes, that is one of the things I always say in my Mazda reviews. The steering feel is absolutely brilliant in the CX-5. They're really all Mazdas for that matter. It definitely has a nice weight to it. Definitely on the heavier side. So it instantly points you in the direction that you wanna go. Gives the driver a better feeling of being in control of the vehicle as well. So I love that. As far as ride quality goes, that's perfectly fine as well. Just pretty much as expected for this size of an SUV. So I have no issues with that either. Cabin noise is quite nice, especially when you get on the gas. You do get a good bit of that engine noise when you really hit it, but in my opinion, that's a good thing. I love hearing the engine noise. Other than that, there's very little exterior noises coming into the cabin in the form of wind noise or anything like that. So I do like that as well. Then touching on visibility, I can see perfectly fine out the back. This is a smaller SUV for the most part, so you really shouldn't have any issues with visibility. But I did wanna also mention along those lines, rain-sensing windshield wipers are going to come standard on every single trim level of the CX-5. That's a brilliant thing because a lot of times rain-sensing windshield wipers either won't come on a vehicle or they'll be just on the upper trim levels of other manufacturers. So I love that Mazda put it on every single trim level of the CX-5. Essentially what that is, is when the CX-5 detects any kind of mist or rainfall, it's gonna automatically turn on those windshield wipers. So it's essentially one less thing you gotta worry about, just like automatic headlights. So better focus on enjoying the drive in this one. Did wanna also mention there is a head-up display I am currently looking at. That is going to come standard on the grand touring trim level and up, projecting things like your speed limit as well as the current speed you're going and some safety features as well. So that is also going to assist with visibility up there too. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this brand new 2021 Mazda CX-5. All right, you guys, here she is, the new 2021 Mazda CX-5. Let's go ahead and start up front on this one. LED headlights actually do come standard across the board. Every single trim level, even the base model is going to get that. But I will say, if you go with the touring trim level and up, those headlights also come with auto-leveling as well. So it's a pretty cool feature. Headlights, of course, also come with the automatic feature as well, meaning when it starts to get dark out at night, they will turn on automatically for you there. LED daytime running lights also coming standard across the board. But if you were to go with that grand touring trim level and up, those headlights will actually get upgraded to an adaptive front lighting system, meaning when you're going around a bend at night, those headlights will swivel based on the direction of your steering angle. Better help illuminating when it is around that bends here. Less likely to hit a deer or anything else, really. But LED fog lights also coming with the grand touring trim level and up. You guys can see the small little fog lights towards the bottom of that front bumper there. Black mesh front grille is going to come standard across the board, all trim levels there. But I will say, you will get chrome grille surrounds. If you were to go with the sport touring trim levels or the signature and then dark grille surrounds, if you were to go with one of the carbon edition trim levels. So it's going to differ slightly there as well. But so now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the CX-5 here. So I've climbed into the woods here for you guys. So forgive some of the branches blocking the CX-5 a little bit there, but rear privacy glass is going to come standard on all trim levels. Chrome belt line molding also standard on all trims. When it comes to those side mirrors, there are body colored power adjustable side mirrors with LED integrated turd signals actually coming standard across the board as well. It's pretty nice. Gloss black side mirrors are going to come with the carbon edition trim level only of course. And you will get heated side mirrors for the grand touring trim level and up and automatic power folding side mirrors for the reserve and signature trims. And of course we do have that then today. So taking a look now down at the wheel setup, 17 by seven inch aluminum alloys for the sport and touring trims, then 19 by seven inch aluminum alloys for the carbon edition trim levels end up. And so of course there's wheel designs are going to differ slightly amongst the trim levels but as far as the sizes go, that's how they're set up there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the back of the CX-5. So now since we are around back, of course body colored shark fin antenna up top there just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light. Just below that rear window wiper LED tail lights actually coming standard on the grand touring trim level and up if you want a little better illumination in the back. We'll find some trim level badging along with all wheel drive badging if the CX-5 that you get is equipped back on that rear lift gate as well. And just below it all dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. So but now since we are around back of this one when it comes to opening that rear lift gate, you will get a power lift gate for the grand touring trim level and up. There is a button on the key fob. There is also a button by the driver's left knee and there is a button on the lift gate itself of course as well. So a few different ways you can go about opening that one up. Once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 30.9 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there's a 40, 20, 40 split meaning the rear seats do fold down bumping that up to 59.6 cubic feet then. Also in that cargo area, we'll find some tie down anchors. There is also a very little bit of in-floor storage. So underneath the cargo floor, there's actually a spare tire and of course all of the tools needed to actually swap it out but to the sides under the cargo floor, that is where you're going to find that little bit of in-floor storage really. So I did want to mention that to you guys. 12-volt power outlet back there as well but that pretty much rounds out the cargo area. Let's go ahead and make our way to the rear leg room. That is going to come in at 39.6 inches. So for reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there.  You will find heated rear seats if you go with the reserve or signature trim levels. That is a pretty cool feature to spoil the rear passengers there. Rear center armrest with cup holders coming with the touring trim level and up and also with that touring trim level and up, you will find rear ventilation for the rear passengers then as well. And make our way to the front seats, manually adjustable cloth seating coming with the sport. Touring trim level is going to add to that leatherette seating with suede inserts including heated front seats as well. Carbon edition trim level and up is actually going to give you then leather seating and you will find ventilated front seats if you were to go with the reserve or signature trim levels.  But it did what I also mentioned on the signature that we have today, we actually have memory settings for up to two different drivers as well. It's actually located on the seat itself as opposed to on the driver's side door where it's typically found on other manufacturers. So did want to mention the memory settings are located on the seat. Now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped across the board. Even the sport trim level is gonna get a leather wrapped steering wheel. It's pretty nice. Heated steering wheel is going to come with the reserve and signature trim levels. And by the way, that heat is steering wheel button is located just to the right of the push button start button. So that's where you're gonna find that. But that's pretty nice for colder days in Pennsylvania quite like today actually. But so now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup here. Let me start by showing you guys the key. You do have your Mazda logo on the one side and nothing on the other side because essentially all of your buttons are located on the side of the key that is going to include lock, unlock, the panic button and the button to open that rear lift gate of course as well. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start for every single trim level. So all I am going to do is simply leave the key in my pocket, put my front of the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee there. So then when it comes to the gauges of the 2021 CX-5 tachometers all the way to your left speedometer is front and center. And then there is a small digital display found all the way to the right to control what is on that small digital display. Simply use the steering wheel mount to control on the left side labeled info. When you press that info button you will be able to display a ton of different information like how many miles you'll have left until you hit empty. There's trip A, trip B of course when you need your next oil change some safety information, navigation information the list goes on. So basically everything you could possibly need in that right hand portion of the gauge display there. Now, let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality because quite honestly Mazda always gets this one right. Power moonroof is going to come with the grand touring trim level and up I always like to start with that. And you do actually have homeland controls for up to three different garage doors located just underneath of that as well. Do you want to also mention up top here there is an overhead sunglass holder that is going to come with all trim levels as well. By the way, should mention the homeland controls that is for the grand touring trim level and up. In case anybody wanted that dual zone climate control coming with the touring trim level and up there is LED interior lighting for the signature trim level the one we have today of course and you do get a little bit of wood trim accenting for the signature trim level as well. You guys can see that located on the doors it kind of ties together just above the passenger side glove box and continues as well. So that's pretty nice. But overall what really makes Mazda interior quality so nice is all of the soft touch materials like for instance just above the passenger side glove box a lot of soft touch materials with stitching as well definitely looks good there. Just around the shifter you have that piano black finish which is also a very nice finish. However, the one room for improvement I would say is just behind that piano black finish there is a hard plastic finish which I can see is probably going to get scratched up eventually over time. So I wouldn't have minded if they kept that piano black finish and push that back right around the circular dials and buttons for the infotainment screen there.  There is a little bit of storage up there as well just behind all of it there are two cup holders as well as a good bit of storage along with two USB charging ports and SD card slot and a 12 volt power outlet within that center armrest as well. One of the things I am missing here though is there is no wireless phone charger. I'm kind of surprised to see on a 2021 model that it is even not offered on this one. So that kind of surprised me there. But anyways, it is plenty fine though as far as the quality of the materials used in the CX-5 but let's now go ahead and take a look at the tech display. 10 and a quarter inch color touchscreen display now coming standard for every single trim level across the board. That is one of the new features for the 2021 CX-5 so you got to love that. Previously it was an eight inch screen of course. Bluetooth and audio streaming also coming standard Android, Auto and Apple CarPlay along with that. Factory navigation system is going to come with the signature trim level only and of course you can check out your radio settings up there as well and by the way when it comes to the sound systems of the CX-5 four speakers is going to come with the sports, six speakers is going to come with the touring and carbon edition trims and then you will find a 10 speaker Bose sound system with the Grand Touring. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. We do have that Bose sound system here with us today. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio see if we got playing today and let's test out the clarity this one.  Wow, that was amazing. Quite honestly, not as good as Bowers and Wilkins that's still my favorite but dang that sound system was absolutely amazing. The clarity really is what did it for me there with the Bose sound system, that was wonderful. But last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display is when you do put the CX-5 in reverse you will find a rear view camera coming standard for every single trim level. Signature trim then is going to give you a 360 degree monitor in addition to that as well which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so first thing I always like to mention this is an IIHS top safety pick plus which is the very highest designation given by IIHS. That's always a good start. Front side, side curtain airbags also coming standard in the back you're going to have latch AKA lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats. Rear child door locks also standard tire pressure monitoring system that's all pretty basic at this point but also standard for every single trim across the board blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert that's usually something you only find in upper trim levels of other manufacturers. Adaptive cruise control with stop and go automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection forward collision warning lane departure warning and lane keep assist as well. Then if you were to go with the signature trim level and up that is going to add to that front and rear parking sensors, driver attention monitoring system and reverse automatic braking as well. And so overall when it comes to my final thoughts here of the 2021 Mazda CX-5 love the new 10 and a quarter inch infotainment screen that is definitely a feature I would probably consider just jumping up to the 2021 as opposed to the 2020 right now just because of that that's pretty cool. Great interior quality of course as always absolutely amazing steering feel that something Mazda always gets right in their vehicles. Great safety, great reliability so that's always a plus as well. Cargo space is really the trade-off when it comes to pretty much all Mazdas they tend to be on the smaller side so when you're comparing this to maybe a CR-V or a Hyundai Santa Fe or even Tucson all of those other manufacturers for the most part are going to give you more cargo space than the Mazda CX-5. So it's really a trade-off for this one when it comes to space but on the other hand you still got the great reliability and the steering feel is definitely one of the big perks of the CX-5 but anyways let me know what you guys think of the new 2021 Mazda CX-5 in the comments section below that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching.

So now Matt, I've got some good news for you. You can start shooting my rats. So shooting is a short action. So if you want, you can move to get into a good position and then shoot or you can shoot and then move. So if you realise you've suddenly left yourself in a bit of a precarious position, you can then move out of the way. Now it's really important to see, first of all, how high your model is and then you've got to look for things like cover because that will start to dictate your bonuses of that. So let's take... It's almost as if these were placed here on purpose, Matt, but you've got one, two, three of your GCPS here and they're all on different levels.  That would be too broken. So you can't do it normally, so you can't do the same action twice. So I couldn't move and move again? No. Do something else? Yes. You have to sprint if you want to move your sprint stat and obviously you can't sprint and then shoot normally, but there might be a way to help you out with that. So here we've got... Your leader is on like the base, the kind of ground floor. You've got a kind of marine here and then another one on top there. So let's say you wanted to aim at one of my rats here. You've got different things to look out for. So I say you've got things like cover, you've got things like clear shot, and then you've also got to make sure you've got line of sight to the target. So typically line of sight is really, really easy. If you can see it, you can shoot it. So if you can see the body of a model, you can shoot it. Is that if I can see it or if from the position of one? It's from the position of your model. So actually dead turn is really good because it does encourage you to sort of get down. It's quite immersive because you're in the game, you're looking around. Which is quite good in all this terrain. Yeah, yeah. So it is quite atmospheric, quite cinematic actually because you feel like you're actually in the game looking around. So if you wanted to shoot from this unit here, you would kind of get down sort of eye level and make sure that they can actually see. And you're drawing line of sight from the model's eyes. You know, you're not sort of drawing line of sight from the gun. It might you might be sticking a gun around the corner and shooting blind. Instead, you need to be able to actually see the models. So let's have a look to here. We'd say, yeah, see that one. Yeah, I'm guessing I can see that from any of those three. Can see that. Yeah, they can all see that. We've got this one here, which you can see. And now let's have a look at this nightmare down here. So if you look, what can you see? Well, this one up here, I guess, can't see really much at all. Yeah, maybe back through the window. These two can definitely see because in the end of the drill here, but nothing else. OK, now the way we've got it now in dead zone third edition is yes, you can say you can see that drill. What we say is because it's overhanging over the edge of the base, it means you can't target it. So one of the reasons for specifying what size base all the models come on is because you imagine they're sort of like a cylinder that's kind of of the area you can aim at, I guess. So on this right here, pretty much all its body is within the base. Anything that overhangs, you can't aim at. And that's to you imagine these are moving around. They're really fast.  I suppose that helps from the bigger models like this one. Yes, a lot overhanging or someone wants to model something spectacular. Yeah, really, particularly with the big models, because you've got two here, the nightmare and the pack. They've obviously got quite big chunky models. They're quite dynamic poses. So actually now what we can say is I don't have to worry about moving my nightmare here. I can actually leave it out there and think, OK, well, I'm pretty safe. Because you can't target it and that will also affect things like clear shot. Because if I was shooting here, because that's overhanging, actually, that doesn't block my line of sight either to you. OK, so let's have a look at the different options you've got when shooting. So let's say you wanted this marine here to shoot this rat here. So the way it works with shooting is all tests start with three dice. You three days. OK. So you would get your three days and then you would look to see if there's any bonuses or modifiers to the shot. So in this case, if you were shooting this one here, you would say this stalker is in cover because of this or because of this because of this. So because I might be in this, I can ignore. Yeah, yeah, because you're up against it, you kind of look over it. You don't have to worry about it. But because he's got this kind of barrier in front of him, in cover. So if I was shooting that one, he said there would be no cover. That's correct. Yeah. And the way it works is actually cover doesn't. I guess models are always assumed to be in cover in some ways. They're always assumed to be running around and hiding and things like that. Because of the density of the. Just because, yeah, and we've got scatter, yeah. So in that case, if you're shooting this one here, you just have your base three dice. Yeah. Now it'd be slightly different with this one because there's no cover around. So that would count as a clear shot. So you get two extra dice. OK, so rather than and does that affect my do I also get a bonus to the what I need to roll or is it just the dice that I get? No, so the modifiers are only ever plus dice. So you never have to worry about changing your fight stat or changing your range stat or anything like that. So that's fixed. Yeah, that is always fixed. You just have to basically remember to increase your dice. So you've basically got more of a chance of shooting me off the table. And so, yeah, this one would be a clear shot because there's no scenery. You've got a direct line of sight to it as well. So that would be five dice. So things are looking slightly dangerous for me here. So this one would be exactly the same. I'll be a clear shot here and still have the cover from this area here. What about my? Well, actually, this one, not only would you have clear shot, but because you're higher than me, you get an advantage for height as well. So you actually get another plus one. There's a definite double bonus for being the high. Yeah, so that's another reason why, you know, using your movement to get higher than the opponent that you're shooting is really, really important. So this one, because you're higher and I've got the advantage of being able to see me better and take me out. So you would get the bonus for clear shot. And then you would get another dice for actually being higher than me. Yeah, so now it's getting slightly dangerous. Now, you asked about your leader down here. Now, I guess that may look like you've kind of got a clear shot again, really, because you're up against that terrain. Obviously, I've got my bat here. You actually never get a bonus, a clear shot bonus for being lower, because you imagine, actually, when you're looking from here, the scenery is actually blocking in the front half. Yeah, so this corner actually taking the line of sight. Yeah, probably going to cut through the legs. Yeah, exactly. So if you're shooting from down low, up high, no chance of a clear shot. So now, which of these do you want to try and shoot you with? Well, six dice would be. Yeah, yeah, because because I like to take a risk. OK, good. Just because you can. Whichever of the eights I roll. OK, fine. This guy, that one. OK, so you just the three dice. Yeah, so you roll your three dice. OK, and so I'm a normal marine. And if I look up a corporation marine, so I'm looking for the RA, the ranged. Yes. OK, so five plus everything. There's a final one more on this dice. Yeah, I guess one thing we didn't mention is is actually how far your weapon can fire. So what's the range on your weapon? So that's the. So I've got a laser rifle. Yeah, so there's six. So that's presumably ranged. Yes, it rains six. So that means you can go one, two, three. And again, just like the movement, you know, we're not going to get a tape measure out or anything like that. You're literally just counting the amount of cubes in between you and your target. And if I'm going up or down, how does that work as well for range? Does that count at all? No, it's still. So it's still you just counting the distance. So you don't have to worry about if you're up there, that you don't have to go one, two, three. You're just counting the actual distance into a number of cubes on the board. Now, some of these probably come to this later. I'm guessing some of these haven't got an R. They've got a CC. I'm guessing that's close combat. Yeah, that means they can only do close combat. So R six, I've definitely been in range. Yeah, I'm needing five or four. Yep. Oh, wow, that is a good OK. So that means I get. So these two both hit. Yeah, they both hit. And that's that has hit us an extra. Yeah. Now you get to roll another dice. So there's not one. So you can't claim that I didn't. OK. Another ice. Oh, that one has a minute. Yeah. No, no. So some of them will have different rules like way to fire, which means you can't reroll misses as well. So I don't think you've do you want to check if you've got way to fire a laser rifle? Rapid fire. OK, well, it's no more rapid fire is in a second. But so you've got three successes. OK, great. So now because you're shooting at me, all I can do is I can't shoot back. I basically just have to survive the attack. So I have three dice as well. And again, there's no modifiers for me being in cover. It's just sort of assumes that I'm in cover. The bonuses is actually go on your shot rather than me having a bonus for being in cover. So I take my three dice, it's simple. So my survive is five plus and these are all going to be eight. So I'm going to survive. Oh dear. So. I've only got one five. OK, so how many did you get again? I got three against your one. OK, so I beat you by two. Yeah, that's right. So let's say there's your three. Let's imagine they all hit. Hang on a few seconds. There we go. So you got seven, seven, eight. So my seven. Cancels one. These miss. That means two shots get through. Unfortunately, my HP is only two. I have no armor. No, I've no armor at all. So obviously if I did have armor, that would potentially knock one of those off. OK. If you had armor piercing, it would kind of knock my armor back. Yeah. So they sort of cancel each other and work against each other. But yeah, so I've taken two wins and I am gone. Steve. One rat down. Yeah. The Laura Biden duty. Yes. And then it would be so we have alternating activations. So now it'd be my go when I. And I think I'm going to come and fight you. Great. So Matt, you asked what rapid fire did. Yes. So some of the different weapons have a special rule, which is rapid fire, which means you don't actually do damage. What you're trying to do is pin your opponent down. So in that case, if you would you want to kind of use your rapid fire, you can do a move called blaze away. So that's my choice. I don't have to rapid fire that way. No, no, that's right. So you've got the choice of do you want to shoot normally and cause damage or do you want to try and pin me? So some of them, particularly like the rats and things are quite fast. So what will happen is if you pin my unit or lay it down or use a marker to indicate that it's been pinned.  So what it's really good at doing is slowing down an opponent. So if you're playing against someone who's very fast, maybe like the plague, or even like the forge father is actually quite interesting because they're quite slow. They're being able to pin them down. It made them even slower. So if I didn't think I had a chance of killing you, I wanted you to stop getting to attacking one of my guys or get into an objective maybe. I'd slow you down. Yeah, exactly. Now some units like the big vehicles and things or the ones that special rules are immune to getting pinned. So they're not going to kind of hit the dirt. They're going to kind of stand there and you can't really do them. Some weapons as well will have automatic pinned. So if you get hit by like a frag grenade or some of the bigger weapons as well, they will automatically pin you. Yeah, so actually blazing away, you'll tend to find that people, particularly when they start, are always wanting to shoot and that's all they do. But yeah, if you want to do a kind of be a bit more tactical, you can blaze away to kind of slow me down or just stop me getting close to an objective as well.


Ayrton Senna, three-time world champion, 41 wins, 80 podiums, drove for pretty much 10 years, 84-94. If you look at the history of Ayrton, him driving on the rain in Monaco with a car that wasn't the best and just flying and being so good to almost lapping everyone in Monaco in the race and crashing at the end because he kind of lost the focus. Three-time world champion with my client then went with Williams to win a fourth world title and fourth race of the season is Imola 94, probably the worst weekend of F1 history with Roland Radsenbeger dying and on Saturday and qualifying and Sunday 1st of May 94. Ayrton Senna passing away in the race, I was watching that race. I was only eight years old but I still remember watching the race, I still remember not understanding what was going on. I was with my dad on the sofa and I was watching and waiting and didn't know what was happening 28 years ago. I still remember what I was doing.

Today, we are going to talk about the guidelines for record keeping. Record keeping is one of a very essential and important process in therapy because if we are not going to keep the record of everything, it is just going to create trouble for us. APA provides guidelines designed to educate psychologists and provide a framework for making decisions regarding professional record keeping. This record keeping is not just a simple paper pencil record keeping but it has certain professional ways which are being used and designed by APA and it needs to be fulfilled by the therapist. Psychologists should be familiar with legal and ethical requirements for record keeping in their specific professional context and in their specific adjudication because the rules are being used everywhere and we have to give them data in some ethical ways to provide the data to our clients. We just have to ensure their confidentiality without randomly giving their names, numbers and details. So how we are going to keep the record and how we are going to give it to other people, this is being educated by APA that how we are going to do this process. Records benefits both the client and the psychologist through documentation of a treatment and plans, service provided and the client's progress. We can have the baseline data, we can have the data during the progress and we can add the final data and we can compare it to where we started and where we are standing now. The nature and the extent of the record will vary depending upon the purpose, setting and context of psychological services. Now how do we keep the record? It depends on the psychological service we are giving. Sometimes we need to probably have a video record of everything which we have done. Sometimes we need to keep the numbers with us. Sometimes we need to keep something else. So it depends on what treatment we are taking and how we are going to keep the record. The record of psychological services may include information of three kinds. If we describe it in broader categories, then there are three types of information that we have to take. Information in the client's life, this is very simple to understand that identifying data, that is name which is being provided by the Codal ID, contact information, phone number, addresses, fees and billing information which is going to pay for the therapy, guardianship status where appropriate or parents where they work, the number of the family members in the house and things like that. Documentation of informed consent or its details which is the ascent of the treatment, whether you have taken its permission or not. Documentation of waiver of confidentiality and authorization. These are the topics we have read in detail. But we are just looking at the application that we need to have these papers. Then presenting complaints and diagnosis record is important. Plan for service which you made initial, then modified and implemented. Health and developmental history should be there. There should be no allergies, how were the milestones and things like that. And consent for release of information, in which situations which confidential information of the client can be revealed to which authority. Even this could be documented. For each substantive contact with a client, date of service and duration of a session, how many times you meet, how many sessions of your therapy and how much duration that need to be recited. Because all these things should be there. In any situation when there is a problem or issue, then you should have this record there. Type of service, consultation, assessment, treatment and training, whatever is being given to the client. Nature of professional intervention and contact. For example, what were the treatment modalities following? Was there a referral or not? Did the psychologist refer to a psychiatrist or not? Was there any medication advice or not? Former or informal assessment of client status? Not exactly, but we still know the formal or informal status. We tell that assessment in the beginning. Gradually it develops. Because when the client comes for the first time, at times he has seen a therapist and has some assessment records. The recording, including other specific information, is client responses or reactions to professional intervention. That is, what is the response of your therapy? Current risk factor in relation to the danger of self and others. Is that a harmful client? Other treatment modalities employed such as medication, whether it is a previous record or current, and emergency intervention. For example, special sessions and hospitalization if they have been in the past or if they are expected to be in future. So, they need to be documented and in record. Then plans for future intervention. What interventions are you going to do? What kind of treatment interventions are you going to give in the future? Information describing the qualitative aspect of professional client interaction.  Then prognosis which is being expected by the therapist towards the client. And then assessment or summary data, that is psychological testing, structured interview, all these things need to be recorded and recorded. And then consultation with or referrals to other professionals. And if they have been consulted with, and in the future what kind of consultation you can recommend, they can understand. So, all these three kinds of the information must be documented and they should be kept into the record. Because this is very important that in any case, they may be asked by probably court, by the law, maybe the guardians or the parents, or anywhere else. Especially in those situations where any problem occurs. So, it is very important to have the record or properly record filing is an ethical responsibility of the therapist.
