Income tax 2021-2022, itemized deductions overview. Get ready to get refunds to the max, dive in into income tax 2021-2022. Most of this information can be found on the Schedule A Instructions Tax Share 2021 found on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Here's our income tax formula focused in on the itemized deduction. In prior presentations, we looked at the income line. We looked at the adjustments to income, which could also be called the above the line deductions, deductions for adjusted gross income or Schedule 1 deductions. And then we have the adjusted gross income subtotal, and then we have our deductions down below taking the greater of the standard deduction or itemized deduction, meaning we always have to compare and contrast those two to get down to the taxable income. Remember that this top half of the formula is in essence a modified or tax income statement and an income statement in essence is just gonna be income minus the expenses to get to basically net income. So this is kind of like the equivalent of net income for our income tax system, which we're gonna apply the tax on. We wanna keep distinct the adjustments up top, which you can also think of as above the line deductions from these items down below and then these items down below, the standard deduction and itemized deduction. We have to look at the relationship between them so we can understand what is gonna happen with regards to the tax return and get some tax planning. And if we're taking on clients, this is gonna be important to get a grasp of the complexity of the tax return so we could focus on those returns that we have chosen to focus in on preparing. So note that this is like a confusing line up top, the adjustments to income, because you could call it an above the line deductions or deductions for adjusted gross income. So why would they call them adjustments to income? Because really remember that this line item down below, the adjusted gross income, the AGI, is often what is used when you think about income phase outs for things like credits and deductions. So these above the line deductions are deductions that are gonna have an impact on the AGI, the adjusted gross income, which is typically the number that is going to be used to calculate phase outs on expenses and credits. So you might call it an adjustment to income, a lowering of income, like a reversal of income, like kind of a contra income account as opposed to a deduction, but in essence with regards to the decrease of the line item, it's gonna do the same thing. In other words, a deduction, you can call this a deduction or you can call it an adjustment to income. It's gonna lower basically the bottom line, the net income in essence, getting us to the adjusted gross income.  They're gonna have an impact on the bottom line, which is the taxable income. So these deductions down below are not gonna have an impact on like the phase out kind of calculations that are going to be taking place with regards to certain deductions and certain credits. So you wanna keep those things kind of distinct in your mind. And then whenever we think about the itemized deductions, we always have to compare it to the standard deduction because the only time that we would take the itemized deduction is if it was higher than the standard deduction, because remember that with taxes, everything is reversed. We want to look bad. We want the taxable income to be low. In other words, if I was to talk to someone normally about income, income's usually a good thing, right? You can go overboard, you could be greedy or whatnot, but income is typically good. If you wanted to get a loan or something like that, you would wanna look good to try to impress the loan that you can repay the loan and get money for whatever you want to do. But for taxes, income is bad because obviously as income goes up, you have to pay more taxes because the IRS wants to tax you at the higher income. So that means that the deductions are good, which again, it's kind of weird because usually expenses from a normal sense are bad. The more expenses, if you're spending too much, it's usually bad. But here, the expenses are good in essence, those being the deduction. So we want the higher deduction. So if the standard deduction is higher than the itemized deduction, we're gonna take the standard deduction. Now, a couple of years ago, they actually increased the standard deduction and that made it so a lot less people are going to itemize. The rationale I believe for doing that was to try to simplify the code because if everyone just took a standard deduction based on like the filing status and a couple other things, that would make the tax return a lot easier. The itemized deductions are usually gonna benefit people who are more well off because they're gonna have more kind of things that fall into that category as itemized deductions, some of the largest being things like mortgage interest and things like the property tax on the home, which you might think, well, everybody should have a home and own the home and have property taxing. But even if you have an average sized home, you might not be giving as big a benefit as if you had a multimillion dollar home with a loan taken out on it, or two homes or something like that where obviously then the itemized deductions can get a lot higher quite quickly. So we always have to be comparing these two things. And this is important when we do, if we're working in the field of taxation, we wanna be determining what level of tax return we want to be working on. If we're trying to crank out as many tax returns as possible, possibly then using the automation of tax returns, trying to take the data input forms to W2s, to 1099s and use the fancy new technology and the softwares, we can scan the forms and whatnot and try to get the tax return done basically automatically with that kind of stuff, then you're not gonna be able to do that as easily with returns that are itemized because they're usually gonna be more complex because they're usually gonna be higher income individuals. So that'll be an indication that you're working with a more complex return if they are itemizing. And or are you working in a situation where you really want to take on people that are itemizing, typically people that have higher income levels and more complex returns, ones where you can't automate the whole process, where you can't just throw the tax, the actual documentation into a scanner and have the return do a lot of it in and of itself because it's too complicated to do that. Usually in that case, you have more complex returns, more research, more tax planning that could take place on it and you often have higher profit margins. So that's kind of the trade-off from the tax preparation standpoint. In order to determine if someone's gonna itemize or not, you gotta have an idea of their filing status. So if they're married filing single, you gotta know, okay, if they're married filing, I mean, I'm sorry, if they're single, then you gotta say, okay, what's the standard deduction if they're single and how many itemized deductions would I need in order to take me over that cap to where it would be beneficial to add up the itemized deductions because if I don't have enough itemized deductions to take, then it might not be worthwhile to ask my client, hey, pick up, go find all of your medical expenses that you spent all year and stuff like that. If you don't need that information because you're not gonna be able to itemize because you're gonna be taking the standard deduction. So it's a good idea to have a general idea of that. Obviously, if they're married, then the standard deduction is typically gonna be doubled. Head of household is typically gonna be somewhere in between. So let's take a look at, this is gonna be the first page of the Form 1040. We're looking here on line 12A where we have the 22.5. Now notice what 12A says. It says standard deduction or itemized deduction from schedule A. So it's gonna take either or, just like we saw in our formula up top, one of these two are going to be taken. You can look on the left-hand side and see that for a single or married filing separate individual, you've got the 12,550 for the standard deduction. So that means if they were filing single or married filing separately, they would have to have higher itemized deductions than that threshold, the 12,550, in order to itemize. And by the way, married filing separately could have added complications because if one person is filing out for the itemized deduction and the other was not, so you have kind of an added complication there. But generally, if single, the cutoff is gonna be that 12,550. And then you could double it if they're married. So if they're married, you would double that to the 25,100. So they would have to have itemized deductions over that in order to be able to itemize. So if they're not close to these amounts, then they ask you, well, should I be adding up all of my medical costs and so on? If they're not close to that, it might not be worth doing it. If you are somewhat close to that, then it might be worth adding those up and checking it out. If it's head of household, you're in between at the 18,800. Now also just realize what's the thing that mostly pushes people over to being able to take the itemized deduction. It's usually when they own a home. So if they don't own a home, it's likely that they're not gonna be pushed over because the thing that pushes most people over to being able to itemize is the fact that they have a lot of mortgage interest possibly, and they have the state taxes with regards to property taxes, too huge itemized deductions. Those are the things that often push people over the threshold. So in general, if they don't own a home, unless there's something more, an unusual thing going on, your default assumption would be, possibly they're not gonna itemize. If you're taking on a new client, then what you wanna do is ask about that. You wanna get a feel for how complex their return is. As you itemized last year, do you own a home? Those are the kind of questions that are gonna help you to determine how complex the return will be. And also just realize with regards to the itemized deductions, you'll often get questions with those big itemized deductions, like should I buy a home given the fact that I get this deduction? And obviously if you talk to real estate brokers or something like that who are in the business of selling homes, they're gonna say the government wants you to buy the home because they give you this big deduction. And you get that deduction, but it actually complicates things more than I think simplifies it. It's another area where if they never put the deduction in, then what would happen is the market would adjust around the more simple regulations. After they put the deduction in, you would think what happens in the long run is the home prices go up in order to compensate for the added regulation that goes up. So is it kind of baked into the price and that kind of stuff is basically an open type of question. But what you want to make clear is the fact that if you're buying a home to get the deduction, you might not be getting the full deduction related to the interest because the difference between where you were at before with this and the cap at the standard deduction isn't really a benefit for you. So in other words, let's say that you got a $10,000 interest that you would be paying for the home, but let's say that you're a single filer and you only had like 6,000 itemized deductions. So now buying the home would push you over to being able to itemize, but if you were only at 6,000 before and the cap for was 12,550 that you're going to get, then there's 12,550 minus the 6,000. That's 6,550 that you were already getting without the home, right? And then if the home allows you more itemized deductions of another $10,000, well, 6,550, you were already basically getting because it was baked into the standard deduction. So you'd have to subtract that out minus the 10,000 and you're really only getting an added benefit of the 3,450. So it's a bit more complex than just saying, I'm gonna get to deduct the full 10,000, which is my taxes and my mortgage interest because if you're not already itemizing, then you're probably got a standard deduction that has a pretty good space or gap between your current itemized deduction. So really the best way to do it, if that's gonna be an influential factor and it could be for a home purchase is to run actual projections with tax software so you can get an actual fuel, what the savings will be by running mock tax returns and running projections. Okay, so then we've got the itemized deduction, which is gonna be reported on schedule A. You got the major categories on the left-hand side and in future presentations, we'll go into some of those categories in more depth. You can obviously look at the instructions for the schedule A if you got any questions about a particular item within the itemized deductions. So this is the standard deduction and a bit more complex here on the standard deduction. Remember the left-hand side are your standard deductions for single filers, married filing, joint head of household and on the right-hand side, we have those added kind of components that would be in place if someone was older over the age limit to increase the standard deduction and if they were blind, for example, then you can have those increases in the standard deduction, which again, you'd wanna keep those kind of in mind, have those in mind as you're thinking about whether or not someone's gonna benefit from the itemized deductions or not. So itemized deductions overview, if you itemize, you can deduct a part of your medical and dental expenses and amounts you paid for certain taxes, interest contributions and other expenses. You can also deduct certain casualty and theft losses. If you and your spouse paid expenses jointly and are filing separate returns for 2021, see Publication 504 to figure the portion of joint expenses that you can claim as itemized deductions. So then we have, don't include on Schedule A items deducted elsewhere, such as Form 1040, Form 1040SR or Schedule C or F. So in other words, clearly, if you're taking the deduction in some other area, you can't also take that same deduction in general on the Schedule A. So for example, if you had the mortgage interest and you used part of your home for a business and you deducted it say on the Schedule C, you can't also deduct it basically on the Schedule A, you'd have to allocate it appropriately. Now again, also realize that if you're married filing joint and you file a separate return, I'm sorry, if you're married and you choose rather than filing married filing joint to file married filing separate, then the itemized deductions can kind of be a confusing component because the IRS is going to be skeptical that a married couple purposely tries to file married filing separate in order to maximize both the itemized deductions and then take the standard deduction on the other spouse's return. So there could be limitations there. That's another area where that married filing separate could run into kind of complexities or problems there. For that, you could take a look at publication 504, which you could find on the IRS website for a little bit more detail on it. So what's new? Personal protective equipment, PPE, amounts paid for PPEs such as masks, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes for the primary purpose of preventing the spread of coronavirus or qualified medical expenses. If the amounts were paid or reimbursed under a health flexible spending arrangement, Archer Medical Savings Account, health reimbursement arrangement or any other health plan, the amounts are not deductible on Schedule A. So you've got those added, which before this point in time possibly wouldn't be like medical related items. So standard mileage rates, the standard mileage rate allowed for operating expenses for a car when you use it for medical reasons, decreased to 16 cents a mile. The 2021 rate for use of your vehicle to volunteer work for certain charitable organizations remains at 14 cents a mile. So this is when we're calculating basically a mileage rate and the mileage rate could differ based on what type of deduction that we're looking into.


Hello people of the internet! My name is Johnny and welcome back to yet another FNAF News video. We just posted one the other day and we're back yet again with some more topics. All of which are very very interesting. We got news on the books, we got a lot of news on merchandise, little bit of game news too with the sister location ports and also some more pop goes arcade news. I trust you all know the deal at this point if you're new subscribe to the channel. I know a lot of people watching just keep coming back for FNAF News and I guarantee you the best way to stay up to date with FNAF News is subscribing to this channel so you don't miss out on anything and also hit the like button. Let's hop into it. Kicking it off with some game news we got the sister location mobile port getting the subtitles update. So now if you want to play sister location on your phone you have the option to turn on subtitles for 11 different languages. Pop goes arcade is back in the news for today because Kane Carter revealed over on Twitter that him and the arcade team has finally submitted the pop goes arcade steam point shop items. These include four animated avatar frames, three animated avatars, one animated profile background, one animated mini profile and one animated sticker. Some of these items we took a look at in the last FNAF news video and that will be linked down below if you want to go check it out for some more FNAF news. I'm clear when these items will be released but hopefully soon moving on now to some anniversary news if you don't know FNAF is turning 8 years old in the next coming days on August 8th and Gamejolt is actually teaming up with Steawall Studios to hold a celebration. Basically they're going to be hosting a few streams with prominent members of the Gamejolt FNAF community and there's also going to be a themed fan art contest and they say one lucky winner will take home a framed vintage Fredbear poster from Steawall Studios. I'll leave a link to their post down in the description below if you're interested and want to see a few more details on the event. Moving on now to some book news. We have the official names for the three stories that are going to be in Tales from the Pizza Plex number two, Haps. The first story is called Help Wanted, the second one, Haps, and the third one is B7. And I'll also show off some of the descriptions for the stories so you can kind of get to know what they're going to be about with the title with the descriptions. Interestingly enough the cover for the fourth Tales from the Pizza Plex book Sub-Mecophobia has been updated and it looks like they've gotten rid of our dear mermaid friend. Though going back to descriptions we got the official descriptions for Tales from the Pizza Plex four and five. Have you ever experienced a gut feeling that told you something was wrong? Caden senses the underwater animatronics in Freddy's fantasy water park have a mind of their own. Robbie knows deep down that the minds of the members of the Fazbear fan club have been taken over by something and Abe can't shake the feeling that the animatronic assistants in his, what the heck is this, Fazplex Tower apartment building are hiding things from him. So in the fourth Tales book we have another water park. We had one in Felix the Shark. We've got a Fazbear fan club and also a apartment building for FNAF. The description for Tales five goes as followed. Would you ever cut corners to get what you want? Outsourcing their storytelling to artificial intelligence comes with an unintended result for the executives of the Fazbear Entertainment Board of Directors. Taking some creative liberties in a series of articles for his school newspaper shows Drew that truth really can be stronger than fiction. And Abe's, yes there is a second Abe back-to-back books in the Tales series and Abe's journey to find the first generation animatronics causing trouble for his Bobby Dot home assistants led him to believe he should have never moved into this new apartment. Yup and now we're also back to apartments. So those are the two new descriptions for some upcoming Tales books. What do you think's going on in these stories? Let me know your theories in the comments down below. And if you thought we were done with Tales, I don't know why you would think that. We got 12 Fazbear Fright books and it looks like we may end up getting 12 Tales books because Tales number six and seven have been confirmed with early states of May 2nd, 2023 and July 4th, 2023. And speaking of Fazbear Frights, we actually got a lot of previews for the upcoming graphic novel adaptation of some stories into the pit to be beautiful and plush trap chaser in the first volume of the graphic novel series. Someone was actually able to get an early copy of the book, which is why we have so many previews at our disposal. The person who posted these posted a lot, but I'll only show off a select few here. There are some designs of the brand new plush trap chaser for the out of stock story in the brand new graphic novel. And speaking of previews, one of the upcoming books releasing next month, I think September 20th is the official guide, Security Breach Files book, which I actually don't think we've talked about on the channel before, but it's basically a guide to security breach as the title suggests. It looks like it's going to be a little bit different from the Freddy Files because it looks like it'll actually go in order of the events in the game, starting off with 11pm, going down the clock, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. With an intro page right here, as you can see a few screenshots of the game and also a brand new render of Vanessa. Another preview page shows off Glamrock Freddy's about section. And also we have Meet Gregory, which is Gregory's about page. So that does it for all the book news now. Let's move on to some merchandise. First up, we got some security breach Squish Mee's, featuring Freddy, Chica, Roxy, Monty, Vanny and also a sixth Squish Mee that we don't actually know who it's going to be. I'd assume it's just going to be like a glow in the dark Vanny, something lame like that. We also have a brand new t-shirt by Funko, which says five nights at Freddy's and also features the brand new tie dye characters of Freddy, Chica and Foxy. We also got revealed to us the brand new Funko reversible plushies. These were leaked quite a while ago, I'd say a couple months back, but basically they are small head plushies of the FNAF 1 gang. And when you turn them inside out, they actually flip to the nightmare animatronics. I think this is interesting. I think it's a cute little gimmick. I think the designs look good actually. Then we have the topic I'm personally most excited about in the merchandise section, because it appears we're getting a wave two of the security breach Funko mystery minis. Now hopefully this new wave can feature characters like Vanessa, you know, the daycare attendant, basically everyone that we didn't get in wave one, burn trap, maybe the blob, that'd be cool. Because as we're all well aware at this point, you can see some of them on the shelf, the mystery minis for security breach that came out, I think it was 2020 only had variants of the main four glam rock animatronics and also Vanny. It was a big disappointment. So hopefully this brand new wave can fill those gaps of missed out characters. Again, like Vanessa, Gregory, can't forget about him, the daycare attendant, I just, there are so many characters that they could do. And I really, really hope we can get a diverse group of characters in this brand new wave. We also got a listing for the Circus Freddy Funko Pop, which is a part of that Circus slash balloon characters that we still don't really know what they're for. The listing interestingly still says SB, security breach. And it was also revealed that when these guys were leaked, they were still tagged as security breach merchandise. So how exactly these guys connect to security breach or we're gonna see them in the upcoming Ruin DLC. A lot of people are also speculating that they are these characters that we got revealed to us on the FNAF subreddit as scrapped characters a little while ago. We don't know, we're just gonna have to wait and see but it's super, super interesting. What are your theories? And finally, we got some U2's news to go over. First up the other day, U2's tweeted out this image showing off a bunch of their U2's figures as a sort of select your character screen for a fighting game. And some of the characters are interesting. First up, as I'm sure you've already seen, Ignited Freddy is featured. Our first good look at him. And also below Ignited Freddy, you can see a brand new Markiplier figure. You can see him sitting atop a throne. A lot of people are speculating that this could be a King of FNAF Markiplier figure. In my personal opinion, I don't think it's gonna be that. It could just be a classic King Markiplier figure with him sitting atop a throne. I'm just not really seeing any FNAF resemblance. So I don't think we should jump to conclusions though I would love a King of FNAF figure. And finally, this last topic was a tough one to include because we weren't supposed to see it. But frankly, it's all over the place that if I didn't show it off, a lot of people would just span the comments saying, hey, you forgot about this thing. You forgot about this thing. So I'm gonna show it off. Basically, Deregular Sauce, I'm sure you've seen his incredible Glamrock Freddy cosplays. U2 sent them a few U2's products that we weren't supposed to see a full picture of and he accidentally posted the full picture. So I feel bad showing it off. But again, it's all over the place. So this is it. As you can see, not only did Deregular Sauce get the some fanverse figures of Ignited Freddy and Popgos, he also got sent some brand new plushies of the security breach characters. Glamrock Freddy, Montgomery, and also Roxanne, interestingly enough, were missing Chica. Poor Chica got left out, but I'd assume they're also making a plushie of her.  I do feel bad, but these are the brand new plushies of some security breach characters coming. I'd imagine pretty soon, if they're shipping them out to some people, to tease. And that is all the FNAF news I have for you guys today. Another packed lineup of FNAF news. Tell me what you most looking forward to. A lot of interesting previews of some upcoming books. A very interesting look at some brand new merchandise, especially those security breach plushies. I think they look amazing and adorable. That's gonna do it. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


So, this morning I was chatting with a friend about the current divorce rate and they were sharing how I believe something like 75% to 80% of divorces are initiated by women. So, and you know, we were examining why that might happen and I suspect that while in many cases the women choose to end the relationship because there's a real lack of emotional intimacy in the relationship, a lack of real genuine care in the relationship and women feel that women are probably in the position that they no longer financially need men to support them. They initiate it because they're in an unhappy relationship and it lets just assume for a moment that 50% of divorces, you know, there's a 50% divorce rate. I also suspect that the other half of the people, the other half in relationship aren't happy in their relationship. Okay, let's put that in a box for a second. But what's interesting is the second part of the conversation is divorce rates are on the decline. Divorce rates are on the decline. Now, I suspect part of that reason is because marriages is on the decline so that's why the divorce rate is on the decline. What is skyrocketing right now is short lived relationships that end. That's right short lived relationships that end and I suspect that 80% of the reason why short lived relationships end is because of the men. That's right. Men are ending the short lived relationships. So why is this happening? Why would men end the short lived relationships and not the women? It's because I believe that one of the fundamental problems in the current dating marketplace is that this is my suspicion for men is that men aren't committed to commitment. Number one, number two, they don't have the skill set to actually navigate one of the most fundamental issues within human mating for a successful relationship and that is good communication skills and good conflict resolution skills. That's right. Communication skills, good conflict resolution skills. Now, I want to share with you something. My girlfriend and I began, and I shared this before now, we began binge, well at least we did one season of married at first sight, married at first sight and this is where two people come together who have never met, they meet at the altar, they get married, they made a commitment to get married and then they go on a one week honeymoon and then they spend eight weeks together to decide if this is going to work. Now what's fascinating to me is, and this is why I'm bringing this up, is that there are counselors and matchmakers and other people that are part of therapists that are part of helping the couples navigate this new relationship and one of the particular experts is a guy by the name of Pastor Calvin. I really like this guy. I like the way that when the couples were having problems, he helped them with the communication skills to actually navigate their differences. He has a book that I just purchased, I just got it yesterday. It's called Marriage Ain't for Punks, Marriage Ain't for Punks and I'm just into the first chapter of this. Actually, I skimmed a couple chapters but I'm in the first chapter and what I find fascinating is that, and why I'm bringing, why marriage, why am I talking about marriage? Well let's think about the differences. If short-lived relationships end because men are unhappy, well let me go back. If marriages end because women are happy, why are short-lived relationships the endings initiated by men? I think women probably are more committed to commitment than men. That's right. In the relationship realm, in other words, I think men have this delusion that if it isn't perfect, they'll end the relationship, at least in the short-lived realm. In other words, and here's what the interesting, I think one of the differences with men is that when there's mutual chemistry and you get the opportunity to have sex relatively quickly, in other words, the barrier to entry to sex is little or no, men don't have to pay a price for that, in other words, the price being ultimate commitment. They can buy a couple dinners, go out on a few times, we get the opportunity for sex without any real level of commitment in the process. Because there's no level of commitment from the very early on, maybe there's the agreement to be monogamous and exclusive with one another, there's no real commitment or really it's not even what's missing most of the time is a real level of trust. Trust isn't merely about fidelity, trust is more about, does this person care about my feelings as much as I care about my own feelings? That's what real trust is, so what's missing in these short relationships is building the level of trust and then actually being committed to the process of commitment and this is why I think men operate from the, women operate from the delusion of the Cinderella, the notebook, the fantasies, the Hollywood. Men operate from the delusion that if it isn't perfect, it's not right for them. So coming back to this book I'm talking about and what I shared before, if you're not committed to commitment and more so I think if you don't have the skill sets and the tools to resolve conflict then that basically you're setting yourself up for failure, men in particular in this area because ultimately the happiest marriages that last 50 years, what they have is the ability to, I believe is, the happy ones. They have the ability to listen to their partner's point of view, validate their partner's point of view, this is when there's differences, listen to your partner's point of view, validate your partner's point of view and accept that their point of view is true for them. And if they're doing that and you're doing that, this is where you can agree to disagree but ultimately what's most important is listening, validating and accepting that it's true for them. But here's what happens, do you know most couples go into couples therapy, there's problems in the relationship and they're doing this, it's this person's fault, it's this person's fault, ladies do this as much as men, this isn't singular. Women I believe are willing to roll up their sleeves more often, probably 90% of the time roll up their sleeves and I think 90% of men fail at rolling up their sleeves and saying, let's find a mutual solution to this and because they fail, 90% of the time what we have is a lot of short-lived relationships that go nowhere and the endings are usually initiated by men, not all of them maybe and I said 90%, it could be 80%, I don't know, all I know is I think short-lived relationships are the endings are initiated by men because of the delusion that's supposed to be perfect, listen. You can watch movies about long-term relationships that work out and they give you some bits and tools and what not, yeah but ultimately you have to be willing to go you know what, this person is worth fighting for, this person is worth fighting for and not listen, good relationships aren't hard, they're not a lot of work, good relationships are not a lot of work because the individuals that entered into the relationship have done work on themselves to actually have better communication skills by learning how to actively listen to someone, that is one of the primary skills that is needed to have a successful relationship and if you don't have it then you're more apt to go next, next and we have this fantasy that we can just go on a dating app and just swipe the next person, that's the other piece that I think has changed in the last two decades is the belief that this person doesn't work out, I can just go online and meet another person, folks, since my divorce I've had a couple short-lived relationships, probably a half a dozen cumulative that were somewhere between three months and six months, not a half a dozen, I've had four, then I had a significant relationship that didn't, a six-year relationship that didn't work out, so think about that, if all of those were marriages I would have been married five or six times at this point, we judge people that have been married multiple times that end but what about all the people that have had short-lived relationships that go nowhere, what does that say, you know and then people get judged for not being married you know as if something's wrong with them, maybe they're the smart ones because they didn't, but I bet you those people who have never been married have had multiple short-lived relationships, so here's the bottom line of why I'm bringing this up, understanding good communication skills, reading the book nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg, reading my book what the heck is self-love anyway, just to give you a few, the reason why I say my book right now is in my book I talk about all the tools I went, all the books and learning experiences I went through to be a better communicator, to be, I'd like to think, I think my girlfriend I talked about this what she appreciates most is I listen to her point of view, I validate it and I accept it to be true for her and I'd like to think she does the same for me and my hope is because of that we have the makings to a successful happy relationship, we'll see. Listen, the bottom line is this, men end relationships I believe in many cases because it doesn't live up to their ideal because if the minute there's differences they bail, that's a sad state of affairs, ultimately committed to commitment and good communication and good conflict resolution skills is what's needed and I think 90% of men fail at this because they don't have it in them. How do we shift this narrative? How do you attract that kind of guy? I invite you to do the following, God, universe, spirit, I invite in a man in my life, oh, let me reframe that, God, universe, spirit, I'm in a relationship with a man who has excellent communication skills, who is committed to commitment and he's willing to work through and he works through the differences that we have between us, we have amazing chemistry together, we share the same values, our lifestyles are blendable and this man is an amazingly emotionally mature man and we are experiencing this amazing relationship together, God, universe, spirit, I have this in my life. Let's start from the I have it now instead of wishing for it, all right? All right, I think you get to just a word and going, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, post a comment below, let's get a conversation going. As always, if you find value in the group, please tell your friends about Midlife Love Mastery, send them to my website, JonathanAsley.com, have them click the group coaching button so they can join our fantastic group and I'm going to sign off this video as I always do. First off, give myself a big gigantic Jonathan Barrett of self-love, I'm going to reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm going to ask you to turn to someone, a pet, a teddy bear pillow and give it or them a hug of love, because hugs are a great source of love and let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch, bye-bye now, bye-bye.


Want to see something ultra-satisfying? Today, I'm spending a million training on the training variety pack. Let's see exactly what a million training would turn into. I'm not gonna lie, I would be recording something else right now, but Xbox servers are down. Regardless, there's a training variety pack. It costs 9,000 training. It'll give you an 80 plus platinum player, a common or better strategy item. Uniforms, 87, 88, and 92 team affinities. 89 plus redux players. And a chance at a limited when there's a limited available. And currently I can pull limited Darius Williams 96 overall. 1 million divided by 9,000 is 111 training variety packs. Let's get cracking gentlemen. Can we start it out hot? Ooh, actually we do. The purple strategy items. Quick sell for 55,000 coins. It's actually really good. I'll make sure to quick sell nothing right now. I want to see exactly what it is at the end. Then obviously we have exactly 4 million coins, so anything above that is what we made. Little platy player. I don't want those, bro. I don't want Kyro Santos. I want to see that redux. What inspired me to make this video actually is a wheel of mutt I was recording. I was opening training variety packs. Dude, they were so hot.  Wait a minute. It's actually really good. Quick sells for 200,000. Damn. Ooh, purple again. Let's go baby. Hybrid. Nothing fancy right now.  What is going on on the screen? Big clapping up for electronic arts.  What is this? I did not know these existed. A legendary finesse strategy item for finesse for block shed. Dude, that's actually nasty. Quick sells for 110k at auctions for 130, so you couldn't profit off of that. However, I'm fairly certain there's a strategy item called Sprinter, which is like really expensive because it's the best one. If I pull that one, it's even more profit. Also a huge shout out to today's sponsor, NBA All World. NBA All World is a new mobile game from the creators of Pokemon Go, where you can compete in basketball 1v1s as your favorite NBA players and explore an AR world that hosts tournaments, local competitions, custom drops, and more. This is the next big mobile app for any basketball fan. It encourages you to get out of the house and explore an AR world based on the real world. Here's how you get started. Hit the link in the top of the description to download. You complete the tutorial, then hop right into All World. The only way to search the map in All World is to actually explore around your neighborhood. Or hidden items that help level up your player. And you can find your favorite NBA players just chilling on the map. You can even challenge them, and if you win, you recruit them to your team. And there are actual real life basketball courts in All World. This is the ultimate way to get bragging rights in your neighborhood. And I'm gonna have an in-game creator tournament in NBA All World. My team will be going head-to-head against other creators' teams starting on February 6th. So I need all of you to download with the link in the top of the description. So on February 6th, go to the tournaments page and look for my creator showdown to join. We gotta win the tourney boys, so I expect to see you guys there. Link in the top of the description. Enjoy the rest of the video. Eric Rowe, 82 overall. Josh Allen and a couple of strategy items. This is actually looking really good so far. Everything else is kind of awash, because 9,000 training is kind of a lot, man. If you don't get a good poll, you wasted a lot. Okay, so that's like 19,000 coins does not stack up to 9,000 training. 19,000 coins would never get you 9,000 training. Actually, let's do the math on this. So 90 overall players' quick sell for 10,000 training, and 90 overall players' cost roughly 40,000 coins. So a quick sell would have to be about 40,000 coins, otherwise it's an L. So like this Titan's won at 6,000, that's a pretty big L. And then obviously Josh Allen, that's a huge W. I could have gotten 590 overalls for 200,000 coins. This right here, David Edwards, I think he's right on the cusp, yeah, 30,000 coins. He's right there. Ooh, a blue one. Wait, what are these quick sell for? So Panthers, 26,000, okay, it's a little better. We're getting carried by Josh Allen and the legendary strat item, trash animation. Ooh, purple, iron wall. Would quick sell for 55,000 coins. So that'll do. Need more of that. Ooh, ooh, ooh, what do we got? I love that animation, but damn, there are a lot better Redux players. This is kind of the low end of the Reduxes, but still 90 overall Ricky Williams. He'd sell for about 40K, like I was talking about, yeah, 39, 35, 36, 39. So he quick sells for 10,000 training. It's a 1,000 training profit at the very least. Oh, oh, shoot. This one of my nights when the game came out, I remember when I pulled this limited to Marcus Lawrence. Now it's the Redux. I'm happy to have it. This is a nostalgic card for me. It was the first limited I pulled. Pretty though, but not so great right now. I'm still happy to see that animation though. Randy Gregory. Big skirt, big skirt. Scary Terry. Gregory So. I'm just hunting for that orange animation, man. Did any of you guys ever play Borderlands? I was a huge Borderlands fan. Trace Smith, 85, that's nice, because that quick sells for 65,000. Let's go. I used to love Borderlands. I used to love farming the bosses for the legendary loot. I kind of feel the same way right now. In Borderlands, some bosses would have a unique item. Oh, no way I got Ricky again. Oh, that's so annoying. But in Borderlands, the legendary items were orange just like this. So when you killed the boss and you saw all the loot fly out, you'd just be looking for a glimmer of orange in there. Kind of doing the same thing right now. Except right now it's two Ricky Williams. I'm about at half a mil. Marcus May. Marcus May should sue Electronic Arts for this. I would. I'm on the driest of dry streaks. I'm hoping it's a second half team. I'm happy to get a lion's one right there. We're about a half a million. I'm unimpressed to say the least. Justin Lawler. Come on, man. Let's make something happen. Raiders solar powered. I don't know what happened on my Wheel of Money account, but I literally opened like two of these and pulled a 94 and then a 92. I haven't even gotten close here. Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm hugging you. I've seen that animation. Fire everybody at EA, but give that guy a raise.  This is a 5'9 corner, unusable. However, oh my God, that was so sick.  He's selling for 385K and he quick sells for 350. This is a rental. Took me 700,000 training, but I pulled there is Williams. So if I were to quick sell him, which I guess I should quick sell him because I want to see how much I get at the end of this. Yeah, we'll include his 350,000 coins. Let's keep that energy up. Bollies were onto something here. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, edge legendary strat on the move. Break tackle, break stack, spin and juke. This one cannot be worth much. That is not very good, but it's still quick sells for 110,000 coins. I think what would make a training variety pack good or bad is probably the quality of the limits available. For example, there are times where the limit is like the best at its position, you know, like when there's limited 97 overall left guard, I'm sure that'll come out at some point. That'll be a really good TVP because all the people with a ton of coins People with a ton of coins will spend a crazy amount for that limited this Darius Williams on the other hand He's barely worth the 350k quick sells for he's a five foot nine corner I don't realistically see anyone that is not a theme team user using that Darius Williams unless you get some crazy abilities But I doubt it. Hey That's what we need, baby That is kind of crazy though if you just think of it from a coin perspective 88 Kevin Byrd is not that far off from 96 Darius Williams Harrison Smith quick sells for 44 so winner. Hey At least we got a 91 make up fits Patrick 83. We'll take it Damian Lewis 88 overall nice six left boys The six final TV peas. Let's see we got first one anyone overall Logan Ryan who Common strategy the biggest how you can take is the common strategy. That's not true The biggest how you can take is the jerseys Damian Harris 82 overall two more a blue variety and the final Training variety pack.  Just do it. Let's go crazy on the final one final TV P is Eric row 82 overall middle of the pack a little bit lower than middle of the pack Let's go see what all of this was worth so glad we pulled Darius Williams I have never seen that animation so it was a beauty to see all right. Let's see what these were quick sell for I'll start with everything that is coins not Darius Williams. I don't want to quick sell Darius Williams He's too pretty that card are going so hard moment of truth every single player for coins would quick sell for 2.5 million and that is not counting Darius Williams there as soon as I make that 2.85 Oh my god, and that also doesn't count any of the players that I can quick sell for training.   Marcus Lawrence Ricky Williams Andrew Wiley. We would get back 57,200 training so I could go use that on even more TVP Wow That's actually wild so a million training to 2.85 million coins It's almost a one training to three coin ratio. So if you got a hundred K training you got about 270 K Something like that. That's not bad at all. That's pretty dope. All right boys I still wanted to get you guys a video even though head-to-head is down So I hope you guys enjoyed I can't wait to see you guys the next one huge ball with Darius Williams. I see that piece boys


Flawless almost and there it goes. Oh takes it Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode in Jurassic World Evolution 2 where we are going to be facing off 25 Scorpius Rexes against 25 Indominus Rexes and of course 25 Indoraptors we have a generational family spanning from the first film back in 2015 with the Dominus Rex to a rework genetic code to the Indoraptor And of course the failed Manipulation of said Indoraptor which did end up resulting in the Scorpius Rex now place your bets Who do you think is going to win? Is it going to be Indominus Rex with its huge massive power? It's gonna be Indoraptor with its more sleek design and you know clever Intelligence or will it even be Scorpius Rex with its poison? Hmm. Oh, I don't know. Well, let's meet the combatting shell way and release them all So here we are in the beautiful battle arena sort of decked out with the What do you call it the new sort of decorations and placeable trees that we can now add? If you haven't seen there was another video covering all of that all of the new additions This one's gonna be the fight of course So we have a complete random selection of loads of different Indominus Rex's Indoraptor Scorpius Rex's all with varying degrees of skin tones and colors Look at that one. It's like a froggy and this one It's like a froggy and this one Old joke bad now So I'm very interested to see how this goes one thing I will say before we start this is that actually Indoraptor and Indominus are both Security level six which means that the highest fence you can get is five and if there's a disaster and they want to break out They're unhappy they will break out.  I've never seen that before Little jump. They like to jump. They've got this these spring-loaded legs So a little bit of an interaction there that actually I don't even think I clocked in my in my other Scorpius Rex showcase video. So well there you go You haven't seen that one and you've watched that video. You have got a little little extra bit here So without further ado How about we get the show on a roll shall we okay? Here we go. They are now able to attack each other and who is gonna be the first Fatality is the question We've got a few dinosaurs sort of roaring at other ones We've got a dominance Rex. Oh, they're actually gonna have a fight of the other just roaring at each other We got another oh here. We got the first fight ever is actually dominance versus in dominance And now it's an indoor after versus in dominance. It's about to go all crazy up in Yeah, I've also got another indominal in dominance versus Indoraptor there. Oh, we got a Scorpius with a poison Oh, if you just have a look around there is battles going on all over the shop Indoraptors facing up against Indoraptors These guys facing off against each other. Oh That don't think they're gonna catch them they're roaring away. Let's get over the base camp Let's go over the base camp any Scorpius Rex's Oh, I think that Scorpius Rex attacked the indominus Rex, but I don't think we've got any dead so far Oh, they're all oh there we go our first step Indoraptor versus a Scorpius Rex that I still don't see the dead body. However, let's have a look see if we can pick it out over here That no no a Scorpius Rex just sort of going down there Whoo who was the first step there is now two dead bodies. Oh god It is we have a Scorpius Rex dead to an Indoraptor and another Scorpius Rex to an Indoraptor even wow So three deaths now the third death is an Indominus Rex that died to an Indominus Rex It's going just as I plan. It's absolutely bonkers There is so many bottles going on here. We've got the Scorpius here taking on. Oh, that's a cool-looking Indoraptor Whoa, but has the Indoraptor been hit by the Scorpius? It might have it has sustained a scratch and that is just enough for the Poison to really kick in we're gonna see a lot of deaths Start to happen now with Scorpius Rex because once it once it does that we got five plus Poisoned dinosaurs and as long as the Scorpius Rex can do exactly that and run away It means that this Indoraptor is probably gonna die from poison if it can't kill the in the Scorpius Rex quickly enough So we've got five deaths so far and I'm assuming They're probably not Scorpius or two of them were oh Oh, oh, there's all the Indominus Rex Absolutely tearing apart an Indoraptor. Oh, you love to see it. We also got a oh Scorpius Rex killed an Indominus Rex So I haven't changed their genetic codes. I don't that is a nice looking. Oh, I love that That looks gorgeous.  There's so many Indo in scope We got a whack there that is another lovely color as well. I think it's a different one We got a dead Indoraptor that I could have been killed by a Scorpius Rex because they have their own unique animation Oh that's Scorpius Rex scared away the Indoraptor Indominus Rex. Sorry It's absolute madness up in here. We have a lot of Dinosaurs that need medical attention. There was 75 of them before I don't know. I'm not expecting many of them to survive along. What is a lot of this teal color out of the Indominus Rexes? It's very odd. We've got five plus deaths. I'm assuming it's gonna be a lot Just from a quick glance. I am seeing a lot of Scorpiuses, but then again, I am also seeing a lot of Indominus Rexes now if we can get an Indominus Rex Oh Kill the Scorpius Rex and it doesn't look like it took a bite there or a tail whip Which is really good for it actually that means it won't be poisoned It'd be interesting if they if like a Scorpius Rex was eaten by something and it died like the thing They ate it died a bit like you have the Fugu fish Which is incredibly poisonous off the rose Indoraptor away It already looks really worse for web, but it actually managed to win We got another Scorpius Rex killing an Indominus Rex here. Oh Another Scorpius Rex killing an Indoraptor. They are pulling it back They took some quick losses very early losses there But now they are thriving cannibalizing their own and also eating everything else and I have yet to see a Scorpius Rex actually face off Against itself. There is so many of them. I thought that that would be a thing But so far nothing. Whoa, I know this guy just went into the Indoraptor. I don't know This Indoraptor doing too hard. I don't think so. It's very easy to keep an eye Indominus Rex there Scorpius Rex and another Indoraptor. So all three are still in it But it does feel that possibly Indoraptor is not firing too well here I have yet to see an Indoraptor take on an Indominus Rex or kill it Sorry, I should say because that's this one's taking it on whether it will win Although it does go for two kicks. So unless it gets bit here No, oh no, it did not win that one and Dominus Rex did win it Ah, that is a shame But I am seeing a lot of these Scorpius Rex is knocking about and here we go I think we got a fight over here. There's two Indoraptor three Four if you see that one all the way over there four Indoraptors something on low health Oh a Scorpius Rex killed by an Indominus Rex and the Indominus Rex has not been poisoned I think we're about to say oh god. There goes another Indoraptor Not so good At all how many dinosaurs do we actually have left we started with 75 we're down to 42 actually So there's quite a few still still there knocking about that guy has won one And has made a kill Whoa, I mean what's it straight? Does it say how much extra attack it has? I don't know but it is facing up against a Scorpius Rex. I think it might be this one. Although it might have just scared it away We've got a Scorpius Rex against an Indominus Rex Scorpius seemed to die to Indominus Rex quite a lot I don't know what those guys are doing. We got another fight over here Scorpius against an Indom Indom looks like it has been scratched Definitely scratched again unfortunately Indoraptor versus Indo. Oh, no, it's not never mind I thought it was Indoraptor versus Indoraptor, but it's not it's Indominus Rex Against it now this guy I think was almost on a hundred percent I don't know what the Indomus Rex wound that one. It's just a brute strength However, this one's been poisoned. It is on 90 percent though We have an Indoraptor against a Scorpius here. We just say Indo Indoraptor for Indoraptor or Indo for Indoraptor Indom Indom Indo Scorpius. There we go That's much better. This guy has not been poisoned and tried to start a fight with the Scorpius. So that's alright Low health on this guy at 48% Taking on a Scorpius Rex with the Scorpius. Oh The Scorpius looked worse for when it actually gets killed We see we see a mid game was quite strong with Scorpius Like all the fights that they managed to survive. I think They've actually managed to kill everything with poison. However. Oh Saying that well, that's another one dead by a Scorpius What we got here Indom against Indoraptor. Yeah, we see a lot of these a lot of these fights with the Indoraptor versus this Indominus Rex that's a 20s 26% against an 89% I don't know. I think this Indoraptor might be yeah, there it goes Throne about crunched and then whoa Indomus Rex is actually doing really well here. It is killed so many things like I think we can check right? The definitely is something I think that tells you how many kills it's made So this may this one's made three kills. This one's made one This one's lost twice and it's dead This was lost twice and is also dead. I do not know how many Scorpius's are left But this is one of them. It's on a hundred percent health. It actually has scars Indom against an Indom That's fine. They could they could find them, but I'm curious about this. We got two greenies here They're both look worse for wear Oh my god, they're killed. I was not expecting that. How much help did that have? 70% on the Scorpius and a hundred on the Indom and it killed it so I didn't know I'm so sorry My commentating skill is not up to par. It has been a busy day. We've had a lot of videos and Indom shutting down an Indo there But Indos still in it though still in it. We have at least one Oh, so it's on 40% against the 68% do we have any others that are like, yes We have this is 70% but that's also taking on an Indominus Rex a Scorpius and an Indo there as well Oh shut down. It's not looking good But they're also cutting off the fight between these two which could maybe Actually, no cuz that's on 90 95% while that Indo was on a hundred percent Scorpius.  Oh It's two losses now. This guy's not looking too good infamy level two though As long as it hasn't sustained any injury that means that loses health and it hasn't it is slowly recovering So it might be in with a shot Oh a kill from Scorpius Wow, okay. Well, how good are you we're really seeing the cream of the crop now that is Three victories for this Scorpius Rex and two kills. It has 30% extra attack and 20% dominance Maybe that's possibly why More defense on this guy, which is interesting and has led to two victories and one kill And he's kind of wants to take out this Indor after put the interrupter kills it again a Second kill for the green Indor raptor. It has already killed one in the past We've got who this Indom poison now by the Scorpius Also gets better. Oh, there's another Scorpius down. I read it's anybody's game I don't know how many are still left, but there's at least so you have five indoms four scopes and Three Indos Wow, this is way closer than I thought I thought like once all of the Scorpius Rexes had actually attacked You know the indoms or the indos then they died from the poison, but I get the feeling that some of these have actually survived from poison This guy has had two victories one loss and one kill, but it it is on low health I don't know if it's poison. It's hard to say But it doesn't matter because it's dead. Oh Gives another victory to this Scorpius Rex on 74% infamy level three four victories two kills and is regaining health Oh, actually quite quick a 68% against a 33% and oh, I don't think that was the score But that wasn't the Indor raptor that killed all the other ones. Was it? Yes. Oh, they hit from the Scorpius We've got two strong showings from Scorpius here We've got this one and the one over there They are pretty sure they have both killed their fair share of indoms actually this one wins this battle taking him on 53 53% and is also poisoned and this guy on 75% and the Scorpius on 53 so actually the Indor raptor It don't respect my win this one 53 against 55 it looks at the scope. No Oh The Indome would have never mind aha here. He is this is the one. Yes. This guy's got fit actually So it looks like the always had four victories and four kills This Indor raptors never won about without killing its opponent and that makes five for five Infamy level five. Oh Five infamy level five kills and five victories and once got five scots Oh, this one's one to look out for man the fit is actually really help We've seen some with 30% extra attack and 30% extra defense But maybe the fit is what they need they need the stamina Especially this guy's on 48% remember at any point during a battle these guys could suffer life Like threatening illnesses, which means they will die and this guy think has other than that was 48 to 47 Is it gonna go to 46? Oh No This one did so well three kills three victories, but it that loss must have cost it and now it's it's it's just gonna die Interrupted against oh and Dominus against the Scorpius How many dinosaurs do we have left now? 13 dinosaurs left and oh Indominus Rex killed by an interrupt. I don't know that doesn't seem too many in Dominus Rex's left We've got one over there. It is not looking good for Indominus's because these guys are poison I don't know if this means they're gonna die and for once actually With 13 dinosaurs remaining calm has settled over the battle arena while things wait to either die from poison or Hopefully outlast it the remaining survivors are now drinking and eating and just you know Soaking up that the last that they have possibly of their lives However, this is a battle this guy doesn't look like it has any scars these Scorpius Rex has just sustained some and there's the poison Froggy win. Oh, maybe froggy won't win Froggy bin by Indom. Thank you. You're not like me Oh, it's a tight balance this might actually work out in the Scorpius Rex's favor because even if it loses which it has That's in Dominus Rex needs to make sure that it has enough help to withstand that poison and here we go Is this this is this a stamina one? Oh, no It's the five kill five victory and it's on 32% It was the best chance. I think the interrupt is hard and it only lost it at the end there No, I don't even think it's too much damage 88% You've got five victories three kills. Oh that I Feel like that other one deserved to win man. The Indoraptor had done so well. Oh This is also Really tight battle when they both look emaciated and a full of scars 33% not looking good. Who's our best dinosaur? It is now an Indominus Rex So I kind of thought that that Indoraptor was the best one I think it is only five fit dinosaurs and Three of them are Indoraptors. Oh look the Scorpius Rex is like, please don't Please don't bite me.  He's like. Yes. Kill him This is actually looking like an Indoraptor victory Flawless almost and there it goes who takes it down and kills The second last Scorpius Rex it is now down Exclusively to the great sandy desert Papparana Which has got five victories and three kills and his savage level three Is this the last score Indoraptor? Sorry? No, sorry Indominus. Is it the last Indominus Rex? Okay, we've got this guy in 11% who I think is probably dying And we've got this guy who's on 48% and I think yes, it's recovering It's not all over for indoor. It's not all over for Indominus Rex just yet All right, I think it's time. We clear away the bodies only dinosaurs left all three Indoraptors and one Scorpius Rex. Oh the odds. This is it. I did not expect it to come down to this I thought that Indominus Rex would have lasted because you know, it's bigger It's got the bulk and Scorpius Rex definitely because of the poison but despite Scorpius Rex's amazing poison Ability it really hasn't had a great deal of a showing over any of the other two dinosaurs Which is interesting and I think we have a battle here 100% Scorpius Rex the second one to be born Against an Indoraptor so this is it like it's actually called over at the same one again And it's a hundred percent against Wow That's one whole third of the Indoraptors remaining killed. It's only two left And this guy's got seven victories and five kills It's facing it in exactly the same place that it faced the other one. Oh, how's this gonna go both on a hundred percent Oh, I don't know man. I don't know and Oh Scorpius Rex getting the first hit off. I mean, that's very tellic That means that Scorpius Rex is probably in a better state and it's done 21 percent damage Which doesn't seem like a great deal and runs away Okay So by the time this Scorpius Rex gets into another battle, it's probably gonna heal The Indoraptor has unfortunately came back to face against the Scorpius Rex and has it recovered from its bleed No No, it has not and it's about to die probably Bless it. If only it too had an amazing ability to poison, but it doesn't and here it is the final showdown The last remaining Indoraptor versus the last remaining Scorpius Rex. Oh the tail hit instantly there Will Indoraptor actually get a hit off? Oh, it does That's all right. Maybe maybe it won't die in this next hit It's hard to say because it it it actually might unless Scorpius Rex Is very clever and calls the fight early. Oh, no, it actually does another hit It's not gonna look good for this one Tell you what however This last Indoraptor is putting a more of a fight than the other one did Which is basically get hit once and then run away But I think that's probably gonna be look it's not even running away Oh, you know what for losing That's a that's a victory for me 19 percent in comparison to 82 and it was hit twice The last Indoraptor hit it once it got it down to 79 percent. Oh god. Look at them. He's like go away I've never seen something so bloomin aggressive Oh, I mean, yes, it has the dominance, but that defense has definitely helped it attack 87 and defense 47 In comparison to attack 92 and defense 45 so really the Indoraptor should have won that and I'm I'm at a loss like infamy level three I suppose as opposed to infamy level four and the nine victories just I think that's probably what secured this It's just more experience. It's made way more kills And so it doesn't matter if the other one has more attack and defense stats if it can't use it Illexperienced and on 10 percent It's probably gonna lie down now ready to die. And that is it the end of this Indoraptor Scorpius Rex 002 And if you too want that Scorpius Rex in your park a great sandy desert paparana You can kind of copy the stats there. Apparently it's like the best dinosaur in the game Or at least when it comes to Indoraptor and Indominus Rexes So I hope you've enjoyed this little battle arena royal If there's any other ideas you have for other suggestions of dinosaurs that we could You know pitch up against each other or fight and of course because there's updates now out Hopefully mods can like resume without any weird bugs and stuff happening So there's definitely a few that I want to check out But if you've enjoyed this video leave a like and until next time. I'll see you cuties later. Oh, bye. Bye

doというようなことをしたい最初はことらしいようなことをしていますGoogleから的には製品が成立されますメントラクとGitShip is a provided GitHub and latest paper.You will get the code and paper.Following Twitter user.It is possible to get the latest information.The book will get the structure, knowledge and access.It is provided the paper site.You can find the latest method.You already know the good keywords.You will use the GitHub and Google.It is possible to get the good code and good knowledge.The next content is keep recharging.You gather a lot of training data.Let's start using the full dataset.No possible.A lot of training data takes a lot of time to train.You have to check the closing.First things are prepare small dataset and check module works correctly.Second steps prepare easy to verify training dataset.Most models can be trained with datasets such as MNIST.You have to check it works.Deep learning have deep learning.Observers method improve accuracy.You have to check the training accuracy and validation accuracy.Both accuracy are not improve it.You have to stop it.Check the result by the visual board such as the tensile board.You have to increase in challenging times by improving the calculation speed using GPU or optimized CPU.Focus.Deep learning are a lot of methods to improve accuracy.The model, how deep, how is it structure, adjusting the hyper parameter,and the process data, data augmentation if using graphical data,and optimized SGD alarm and so on.Depending on your situation,the enough computation resources and enough datatry a deep and complex model.Enough computation resources but enough datafind good pre-trained model and focus on the pre-process such as data augmentation.So, not enough computation resources or dataconsider other way to solve a problem such as logistic regression and SVM random forest.Deep learning probability isn't best choice.So, the end of the first part I will talk about the next partDeep learning applied to 3D objects.I will talk about BoxNet.There are a lot of deep learning models.How to choose one?I consider three things.Resource,Performance,Speed.So, resource is the computation resources and human resources.Performance is accuracy and speed of development.I choose the BoxNet.Why choose the BoxNet?So, BoxNet advantage the resource and speed.So, computation resources is good because in my environment it works.Memory 32GB and GPU type is there.Performance is accuracy also.So, 83% accuracy in the paper.Speed is open source and simple call.So, I will talk about BoxNet processes at first time.So, the maps 3D data to 3232 BoxNet.3032 is possible to choose it.Resist data size because the 3D data is rich data.So, we have to reduce the size.And the input is convolution 3D.So, the convolution 3D is effective for the filter.I will explain about the 2D cases.So, because the 3D cases is difficult.So, they prepare the input image.Prepare the kernel window.So, we will watch the red spaces.And input image value is 1.And multiply is 5.And plus.And input image value is 1.And multiply is 1.And plus.And repeat the action again.And it is get the value convolution filter is 33.And repeat the action.And spaces, green spaces, blue spaces.And it is get the convolution future value.And then, so talk about the 3D cases.I will provide it the input image and 3D kernel.And 3D kernel move to the image and all image map.And provide it the convolution future.And move the inner.And provide it the convolution future.And repeat the action again.So, they get the first convolution future layer.So, in figure cases, repeat the 7 times action.So, if you are interested in the implement the code.So, if you use the keras, it is only one line up.So, in this case 32.So, in that case, the input shape is 32.In the last one meaning about the color channel.And setting the kernel size.And slide is how the kernel move it.And data format meaning about the which color channel.So, the keras support for the TensorFlow and Siano.So, the TensorFlow and Siano are different input shape.So, that's the reason why the setting the color channel.So, the next step is MaxPool.So, MaxPool effective for the detected image.And then, so, it get the convolution future layer.And select the MaxValue.In that case, red spaces MaxValue is 6.So, they get 6.And orange spaces get the MaxValue 8.Repeat the same action.MaxValue action for the 3D data is the same action.So, they provide it to the pooling windowand the convolution future.Repeat it action.Get the MaxPool layer.And if we use the keras, it is only the one-liner.So, the setting size and channel.So, the input image.So, the filtering and the detect.And the fully connected.And the limited sizes.Limited sizes.Because of the class file cases.Number of class.And apply the softmax function.Softmax function.It maps output, probability, distribution.And it is easy to differentiate.So, the keras using only these things.So, they define about fully connected.Limited size.Limited number of class size.And softmax layer.So, these code is define the model.At first is define the model.And the convolution 3D.Conversion 3D.And MaxPool.And fully connected.Limited size.And apply the softmax function.So, it also define about the loss function.And the metrics.And then training the data.So, the setting the box mapping data.And setting the class file level.So, I will talk about the next step.Is the improving technique, accuracy.I think improving accuracy has two approaches.The first approach is the model.And the second approach is data.So, model approach a variety of way to improve accuracy.This advantage deep model takes a lot of resources.And it is obvious which model is better.Data approach advantage is the effect of change of the object.And this advantage approach are limited.So, in my case, model approach is applied to random dropout,require, and data approach is data augmentation for 3D data.And class weight for unbalanced category data.So, 3D data augmentation is a specialty case.So, I will talk detail about it.I think data augmentation has advantage over the other method.The effect of shares and it does not increase in calculation timeunlike adding layer to the model.So, data augmentation these things.So, the changing data, rotation, shift, share.So, the few apply to the code.So, they provide it to the box cell data.And each box cell data applies augmentation matrix.So, getting the changing data and re-changing the numpy format.So, I will talk about the example case.Rotation matrix, this one.So, the changing data is rotation.System matrix changing the data, this one.And share matrix changing the data, this one.So, in my case, adding the data augmentation data for the training data.So, improvement technique speed.Deep learning has a lot of ways to improve the calculation speed.Such as, use GPU or CPU optimization.Mount thread, prepare future set.So, the CPU optimization is very effective for the data augmentation.So, I will talk about CPU optimization.So, if we use TensorFlow, so setting the build option,it is possible to apply the CPU optimized.However, you have to check which option is available.So, the result, this result shows the validation accuracy.So, the blue line meaning the baseline.And the red line meaning about the data augmentation,shift x and shift y.And the yellow line meaning about the shift x,y and applied to class weight.And the green line meaning about adding the training databy the data augmentation and applied to class weight.This table shows about the result.So, this is the result validation accuracy.So, the baseline is 79%.However, adding the shift x and y dataand applied to class weight achieves 85%.So, the conclusion.So, at first part, my strategy,find the right method and find the right programand find the right method and read challenge and focus.So, the other case, the right programis 3D object recognition and right method.Right choose the box net and read challengeinc data augmentation and customized modeland focus improves the validation accuracy.I will show the demo.This site show about the similar 3D objects.However, so this text is Japanese.Just a moment.So, it takes a lot of time.I prepare the video.Okay, I show the demo.Choose the file about the airplaneand set it.Okay, sorry.So, upload the airplane.This possible find such as similar shape isand the next content is the bus stop.So, the last content is the toilet.Toilet and chair, it is possible find.Such it.So, the end of the presentationand show the recording.I think deep learning for 3D object,it is very rare case.And if you are interested in the working in Japan,so, you have to access the siteand send the email.That's all.Thank you for listening my presentation.Five minutes for questions.If anyone has any questions.Hello, thank you for your presentation.Do you have any other metrics or just accuracy?Because accuracy, especially if you haveimbalanced classes, could be pretty misleadinglike any kind of loss or precision recall.What about them?So, you question me about the othercalculation metrics such as therotation and so on?Yes.The metrics?Sorry.I only calculate about the accuracy.So, not calculate it as the metrics.Okay, thank you.


The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated stations present the Pacific Story. In the mounting fury of world conflict, events in the Pacific are taking on ever greater importance. Here is the story of the Pacific and the millions of people who live around this greatest sea. The drama of the people's whose destiny is at stake in the Pacific War. Here, as another public service, is the tale of the war in the Pacific and its meaning to us and to the generations to come. The Yellow River, barrier and battle line. Where the Chinese have for thousands of years prevailed against the sinister waters of the Yellow River, they are today prevailing against the Japanese. The Chinese call the Yellow River Huanghou and China's sorrow and the dragon carrier. The Huanghou is one of the most ruthless killers of mankind. No one will ever know how many millions of us it has killed. But as the Chinese have learned to die by it, they have learned to live with it. They have learned to use it as a devastating weapon against the Japanese, as we shall see. The Japanese are bandoning their strongholds in the great bend of the Yellow River, where they've been entrenched for seven years. It is believed that the Japanese are affecting a general withdrawal to the Beiping Hangkau Railroad. Remember that Beiping Hangkau Railroad. It runs roughly north and south, paralleling the southern course of the Yellow River. And in military terms, this is important. The Huanghou rises in the hills of North Tibet and flows 2,500 miles to the sea. 2,500 miles.  When it floods, it spreads out over the Great Plain, bringing suffering and death to millions. For ages, China's scholars have considered control of the Yellow River as one of China's greatest problems. I have called you Kun to answer for the disaster that has befallen us on the Yellow River. I worked for nine years to control the ravaging waters of the Huanghou, my Emperor. Your dikes have been swept away by the Great Flood. The powers of the waters was too great, my Emperor. You have failed, but I... My people are dying in the swirling silt in the slime of the river. The force of the Great Flood was stronger than we had ever... I command that you be exiled to the mountain of the feathers. There to be transformed into a yellow turtle with only three legs, so that you will limp in the pool of feathers for all time. Take him away. Kun, according to the legend, was banished. And his son, you, was ordered to master the floods of the river. Keep clearing the channels. But you, we have been clearing and deepening the channels for 13 years, and still they fill up with silt. If we clear the channels and keep them deep, the flood waters instead of overflowing will be carried down to the sea. The bottoms fill up almost as fast as we clear them. We must never stop clearing them. I have tidings for you.  I cannot go. She says that you have come this way near your home only three times in 13 years. My duty is to save the lives of my people. Tell her I cannot leave. I will tell her you. Now, Wang. Get your crews down into the river. Dredge out the silt. The snow is melted and the spring rains came and the Yellow River swelled and raged down its course. The deepened channels carried the water safely out to the sea. And you became the great you. And when the old emperor died, he became emperor, and started a dynasty that has lived ever since in the world between the real and the legendary. From northern Tibet, the Yellow River roars down through the mountain chasms to the great plain of north China. It wanders through the yellow soil and itself becomes yellow. And it empties at last into the yellow sea. Along its banks, 50 million people depend on its waters for life. When the river stays within its banks, it irrigates the great flatlands and brings forth bountiful crops. When it breaches its banks, millions suffer and die. The upper stretches of the river. I watched the Cooley straining against the great poles pushing the raft. This is an American. We were bringing a cargo of wool and skins and hides down the river from Tibet. Wraths of this kind made of sheep skins, lashed to wooden frames, have been used on the upper Yellow River for thousands of years. I asked the skipper of the raft, how many sheep skins are there in this raft? About 500 sheep skins making 500 inflated boys. We blow them up one by one. The Cooleys walk down the sides of the raft as they pushed against their poles. At the stern, others man the tellers to keep the raft in the middle of the channel. Tomorrow we will be in Lanzhou. There are few communities of any size on the Yellow River in this part of China. Lanzhou is one of the largest. Lanzhou, there is Lanzhou ahead of us. Look at that, the steel bridge there. That is the only steel bridge across the Wanghou for hundreds of miles. How does there happen to be a bridge way out here? Lanzhou is on the ancient Silk Road to the west. Over the Silk Road, caravans once moved from China across Central Asia into Europe and down into Rome. To Lanzhou, the capital of Kansu province, 5,200 feet above sea level, people came to trade. They came to buy the Kansu grains and tobacco and fruits and to sell their wares. They came to cross the bridge and travel either eastward into China or westward into Central Asia and perhaps into Europe. There seem to be quite a few jumps on the river. Small ones. The water is not deep enough for large ones. And look, there is a raft like this one. No, that one is made of oxhide. Rats like that are made of about 120 oxhides. They are stuffed with wool. They carry a tremendous cargo. They are made to carry great cargo as a place. The raft headed down into the swirling rapids, down between the towering granite cliffs of the gorge. Can this raft with its cargo hold together? Yes. Through rapids after rapids, the rafts make their way, swinging crazily from side to side. Unwieldy yet under control, the experienced rivermen. The river suddenly swings to the northwest to make its great loop around the artist's desert. How much longer will it be? It will be weeks before we get into Baodou. Weeks. We must push every inch of the way. Son, there is no mercy on us. The elements have no regard for men. No. Look at that yellow waist up there. You will see much more of it before you see Baodou. At last Baodou, where the caravan trails in the railroad meet the Yellow River. The wolves and the skins and the hides brought all the way down from Tibet are loaded on the trains for Tien Sin. And when this task is done, the raftmen go ashore and visit the bazaar. Here we can buy the western goods brought in by the trains from Tien Sin. We will take them back by caravan with us. We will take apart our rafts with their hundreds of sheep skins and carry them back on donkeys and camels. All the way back to Tibet? We can make two round trips each year. Unbelievable. It has always been done this way. No man on a raft can go up the Wang Ho. This was the upper Yellow River. The lower Yellow River has for centuries sprawled over the muddy flats of the Great Plains. Once it entered the sea at the present site of Tien Sin up near the Manchurian border. Then it changed its course and for 500 years entered the sea more than 300 miles to the south. Then came 1852. The Dragon Carrier has broken its dice. Take the baby and I will take the other children. We must do it once. The water will soon be here. Hurry! Hurry! The river swept over Honan and found an ancient course north of the Shandong Peninsula. 250 miles north of where its mouth had been for 500 years. The people to the north of the peninsula adjusted their lives to having a river. And the people to the south of the peninsula adjusted their lives to being without one. The good dragons may now favor our land. This was the attitude of the peasants affected by the change. If we have water near, we can grow hemp for rope as well as wheat and corn. And to the south, the peasants were equally optimistic. Now we will escape the danger of flood. And if we have enough rain, if the locusts do not come, we will have good crops. The peasants plowed the Yellow Soil where the river had flowed. The sediment deposited by the river over the plains was rich and fertile. In the middle 30s, the rains poured down. The waters of the upper river became angry torrents, rushing and roaring down through the cattle. Down to the plant lands of the Great Plains. The dikes have broken. The dikes have broken. Are you expecting the water to reach way out here? We must use the boat. We will have to hurry. The river is so far away you can't even see it. The flood comes on wings. No. All of us under this side of the boat. Leave. The boat kept upside down alongside the house, was quickly turned up right on the powdered dry Yellow Soil. Far away across the plains, the waters were approaching. Let me help you carry out some of those things for the boat. Thank you. Would you take those things, please? Yes. All of us go. As much as we can get into the boat. I will get the tools from the field so they will not be lost. Hurry, Ching-Wa. Hurry. While the sun went for the tools, the others hastily carried the belongings of the family out into the boat. There it comes. There comes the water. Ching-Wa. Hurry. Hurry. Where is he? Where is he gone? Something must have happened out there. Ching-Wa. Hurry. Ching-Wa. Ching-Wa. Hurry. Hurry. Ching-Wa. Hurry. The water swept across the plains, across the land that had been tilled by the men and women pulling the plow along with their ops. Can't we get the boat around to pick them up? We must get it around. We must. We are coming, Ching-Wa. We are coming. We've got to hurry. Tragedy struck in a thousand places. The swirling water swept down with such force that those caught, except the strongest, were lost in its slimy silt. The water surged over the land and refugees scrambled to such high ground as they could reach. Many of them set up households on the broad dykes. Ching-Wa is gone. Before we can go back to the land, we must help repair the dykes. Far and near the workers gathered to repair the dykes. Some were paid 15 cents a day. Some were merely given their food. Chinese engineers came to supervise the work. And the thousands struggled with all the strength they had against the mighty devastation. How many thousands have you come here with your wheelbarrow? I do not know. 25,000 workers had come to this vicinity to repair the dykes. I don't see how you can push that wheelbarrow while those big rocks are not through that mud. We must push it through. Here, let me try it. No, there is not time. Just let me try. How can you do it? I must hurry now. Thousands upon thousands of workers moving heavy rocks in their wheelbarrows down into the gap in the dyke. Moving down to the edge of the water from the high ground, dumping their loads and going back for more. Again and again. And into the breach when Kowliang stocks bundled together and woven willow sticks. Then the dragon net was stretched. The ropes are stretched tight across the gap like a breach. Yes, I see. And then other ropes are woven across so it makes a regular net. Not far from the gap, other Chinese were twisting hemp into ropes. And as fast as the ropes were finished, they were taken to the gap and stretched across. There, the dragon net is ready now. Bring the Kowliang stocks. We will make the bail. Oh, they are going to make the bail now.  Yes, so that the pressure of the water is against their in. Very ingenious. As the Kowliang stocks and the bags of earth were piled on the ropes, the net sagged with its great burden. More and more were piled on top and the net sagged deeper and deeper into the gap. At last it settled down into the water and the gap was closed. Still more sacks of earth, more Kowliang stocks, more woven willow sticks went into the gap to make it fill it up to the level of the dike. The yellow river had been pushed back into its channel. We are fortunate. Our land is covered with silt, yes, but it is rich and fertile. We can work it and plant it and next year we will have a new crop. Yes, we are fortunate. We might have lived in the lost village. The people of the lost village were not so fortunate. This was your home here in this village? Yes. Can you ever clear the silt away enough so that you can come back here? No. There must be six feet of silt here. There is more. It is up to the top of some of the houses. Yes. Where will you go now? I do not know. I do not. Homeless, destitute, starving. The multitude set out in quest of another place to live. Another place that will give them the nearest hope of a living. And the yellow river rages down its course. Carrying as much as 40% sediment, which in time will cause more floods. Back in its course, the dragon carrier continued to flow northeastward on the Great Plain. It continued through these years of the Great Floods of the Middle 30s to empty into the LOC north of the Shandong Peninsula. But in 1937, the whole face of affairs in China changed. The Japanese attack outside of Beijing and headed across the Great Plain toward the heart of North China. And now the Yellow River, China's sorrow, was to play its greatest role. If the Japanese drive toward Suqiao, we will divert the river into the channel it followed until 1852. This will halt their march there, at least temporarily. It will give us time to make preparation. This was the Chinese plan, but developments came too rapidly to make this possible. The Japanese are at the gates of Suqiao. It is not possible to hold them and to escape in time to divert the river. The Chinese retreated. The Japanese moved in, took Suqiao, and then continued their drive to the west. The Chinese retreat from Suqiao has turned into a rout. The Chinese are fleeing in wild disorder before the victorious Japanese army. We are now heading directly for Kaifeng, the capital of Hunan province. I thought they should be at the approaches to Kaifeng. But the retreating Chinese armies had other plans. We are still in contact with the Japanese advanced patrols, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes are keeping a close watch on us. Very well. See that we have every appearance of retreating in panic. Yes, sir. Keep in close touch with all commanders so that they can act at once when the order comes. The commanders have their units well under control, sir. Very well. The Chinese continued their apparent rout before the Japanese, and the Japanese continued the pursuit in heavily armed mechanized units. Sir, we have just received intelligence from our air reconnaissance that the Chinese are reforming at Kaifeng. There is every evidence that they are concentrating there to try to stop our drive on the railroad. They think they can keep us from taking Kaifeng and going on to Chengqiao. Well, that seems to be their purpose. They have made it clear that they intend to fight to the end for Kaifeng. Yes. Yes, sir. If you will look at these reconnaissance photographs brought back by our plane. Yes, let me see. You see, this is a new heavy gun emplacement that has just been newly built at Kaifeng. Yes, sir. And these, these are on here. These are machine gun broke houses. And these around here are handbag barricades. And these are the... And what intelligence do we have from Kaifeng? That the Chinese would defend Kaifeng to the last man. They expect us to drive straight on Kaifeng so that they can hit our columns on the flanks and destroy them. We will change our tactics. We will deploy along the approaches. The objective of the Japanese drive was to take Kaifeng and then drive on and take Chengqiao. This would place them on the Beiping Hangkou Railroad. And they would then be in a position to drive down this railroad and take Hangkou. Railroad center and strong point on the Yangtze. The Japanese have deployed in our approaching on a wide front, sir. Hold your fire. Be ready for the order. Yes, sir. The Japanese advanced on the Kaifeng defenses. The Chinese, behind their strong fortifications, held their fire despite the hail of Japanese. Sir, the Chinese are pulling out of Kaifeng. Are they breathing without firing a shot? They are making no defense whatsoever. We will continue to advance according to plans. Yes, sir. The Japanese deployed for heavy attack, moved cautiously into Kaifeng. The Chinese withdrew, retreated toward the railroad junction at Chengqiao. The Japanese reformed and followed in pursuit. The morale of the retreating Chinese is completely broken, sir. Air reconnaissance reports that they are scattering like the wind before our advance. We must not lose the momentum of our drive. This would permit them to reorganize. We must drive them ahead of us like cattle until we have taken Chengqiao. Until this time, the Japanese had feared a trap. Now, with every evidence of the Chinese forces in panic, they abandoned this idea. But now the Chinese were drawing them into a trap. They are now within 20 miles of Chengzhou. It is not yet time. If we permit them to get closer to Chengzhou, it may be too late. We must lure them in closer to the river. The Chinese took positions on high ground. While others visit themselves with dynamite charges in the dykes above Kaifeng and Chengqiao. The Japanese are now at a point 15 miles from Chengzhou. Chinese behind the enemy lines kept the Chinese command informed on the Japanese advance. By daylight we should be in the outskirts of Chengqiao, sir. By daylight we will be in Chengqiao. What was that, sir? That explosion? There was a flash of fire in the west in the direction of Chengqiao. That cannot be gunfire. They are blowing something up. Well, they may be blowing up their munitions to keep them from falling into our hands. We will see when we roll into Chengqiao. The massive dykes built with the hand labor of countless thousands of workers were blown up at Chengqiao. The raging waters of the Yellow River left the course they had followed since 1852 and plunged down over the great plain in the path of the advancing Japanese. As more and more of the dykes north of the Japanese were blasted, the swirling yellow waters drove on down on the Japanese in a solid wall five feet high. Almost before the Japanese could realize what had happened, the 500 square miles which they were occupying were flooded. Our entire force is stopped, sir. The high roads are covered only with one foot of water? Yes, sir, but our heavy mechanized units cannot move in the soft slippery mud. Many of them have gone off the roads into the deep water in the ditches. The waters of the Yellow River, thundering down from the towering mountains of Tibet, roaring down through the rocky chasms, poured out in torrents on the Japanese, poured out also on many hapless Chinese. But the fate of China was at stake. The rain started and the waters of the Huanghou raised 44 feet. When will the planes be here? They should have been here two hours ago. The water is rising. Unless they come soon, it will be too late. Yes, sir. All the rafts and boats gone? The Chinese boats? Yes, sir. If we could get back to the long high railroad embankment, we could walk back. We are too far from the embankment. Oh, oh, look, look, planes, two of them. Are those our planes? Yes, sir. They see us. They are coming over this way. Yes, sir. They are dropping the rafts. They are dropping the rafts. Yes, now get out in the water, bring those rafts back here. Yes, sir. And then we can paddle our way back to high ground. Instead of flowing northeast and emptying into the Gulf of Chile, north of the Changdong Peninsula, the Yellow River in its new course flowed southeast and emptied into the Yellow Sea, south of the peninsula. The mouth of the river was now 250 miles south of where it had been before. Here, take these field glasses, sir. You can see the Japanese on the other side of the river. Yes. Yes, they are still there. Do you think they will try to cross the river? They will not try until the flood season is over. They cannot even start repairs for another two months. By the time the rains had stopped and the flood waters had subsided, the Chinese had been reinforced. But by this time, the Japanese initiative was lost. The Japanese at last crossed the river, but were stumped below the great bend of the stream. And there they dug in and stayed for seven years. As the Japanese withdraw from their strongholds, the Chinese are coming back. They are coming back with their crude tools to this country where the sky is yellow, the earth is yellow, and the swirling waters of the Langhou are yellow. Today, the sleeping river is quiet. The peasants are tilling the fields of the Great Plain. They know that the sleeping river will again spring into wild, ungovernable fury. But deep within them is the unspoken confidence that, as they have survived these thousands of years, so come good fortune or suffering and death, they will still be there.
