What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So we can talk about gale weathers this time around as it pertains to screen five So gale weathers if I'm not mistaken her chance came in screen, too But it never came after that. She's never had a conversation on the phone with those face She's had a tremendous chase sequence with ghost face in screen, too but never an actual phone conversation because Randy got tired of her phone ringing and snatched it up and Randy was the one talking to Gale weathers so who knows who knows what would have happened if gale had answered that phone I'm dying to have a conversation between her and ghost face now What I just wanted to talk about was if she'll have a conversation with ghost face in screen five now knowing that Matt Bennelli and Tyler Gillette are fans of the franchise I'm assuming that they have paid close attention to some of the things that they have already happened and things that Haven't happened that they could potentially explore explore in screen five as first-ever's for the franchise that many people might not know this but us diehard fans would and I think this would be one thing that would be very important and very meaningful and You know exciting for a diehard fan who studies scream has seen scream one through four multiple times you aren't of Master as far as knowledge on it because I feel like every time I watch this movie I'm learning something new or just noticing something different all of the films. I'm noticing something different in all of them, but Going back to gale weathers her getting a phone call in this in this film would be exciting to see for like a first time ever since The franchise is an exception, you know your time came in the sequel But your friend took that from you but now you're gonna get this right now I would love to see this happen during a not to say this would happen I don't even I don't know if this could be even pulled off effectively if they did it like this I would love to see it happen during a Like live televised feed of what she's doing now, maybe she's like again like on a One of those Sick not sitcom shows but one of those good morning like America shows something like that or on her own Podcasts or something that she or she has her own show.  She's definitely gonna take advantage of it I would love to see a phone call happen during one of her shows Where she is getting a phone call from ghost face and it's regarding Dewey and his untimely death or his unfortunate death or Dewey's injuries that have occurred and she has like just some Downspiral moment on on screen because with the way they talk they make it seem as if Dewey is dead once again The other thing I want to add to that just to go off not necessarily completely off topic But I would love if they actually convinced us For like emphatically that Dewey is dead Like to the best they've ever done since the franchise's inception, but then he's not Now when I say that I know that would be tired It's cliched and it's just like okay that formula is getting stale But I'm saying like do it in a manner in which it is done to such Amazing heights that you are as the audience convinced that Dewey has died within of course is revealed. He's alive I wouldn't I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened I mean it's happened in scream 2 it happened in scream 1 it Didn't happen in scream 3 they more so tease you that that knife was gonna just go in his head But it just was the but but I would like to see gale Whether to get a phone call from ghost face and just see her sass on display during that phone call Just see her confidence on display during that phone call And I would like to have ghost face just let her have it at the end of it while she's just going off on him and Telling her or telling him how they're going to catch him They're not gonna get away with this and maybe thanking him for how famous she he helped make her I could see her just giving a comment like that and just being you like arrogant and kind of just Relishing in her confidence and her success that is in part to the ghost face killing sprees and just Giving like some type of snarky remarks to him and he's laughing it up enjoying it and kind of giving his own snarky remarks back And then they just end it with well You know Is that why dewey is xyz dead injured in the hospital and then she has a She has a moment of snapback into reality there Even though you may not be with dewey anymore I know you still care about him and then she has a downward spiral on live television It doesn't have to be on live television again. I'm just saying I wouldn't mind seeing it on one of her live broadcast Whether that be her on her own podcast or on her own television. That's on a cable network I think that would be a very Humor scene equally terrifying and just fun scene for gal whether it's herself to be on your own show With the entity or the mass killer that has kind of paved the way So to speak and been a big reason behind a lot of your career successes that came after that original ghost face killing spree with the movie and the movie that was based off of The book that you wrote and the fact that you yourself were involved in taking down The people behind those costumes in the original killing spree second third fourth like it would just be A very exciting thing to see and to have ghost face make comments like that about how they're responsible for her success and having gale just relish in it and just be overly arrogant and give her snarky remarks and give her I guess tabloid twitty comments tabloid twit comments Back at him over the phone. I think that scene would be Just amazing to watch unfold and Courtney Cox. She plays the character so well I can't wait to see her tap back into her more Ruder aspects of the character. I'll say hopefully she's not completely and what I what I know Fans will understand about the character.  We've seen it But she is tapped back into this because of the Breakup that we're presuming she has had with dewey and the fallout that she's had with dewey And so she's back on her bs essentially she hasn't lost her sense of Having heart But she's more so tacked back into what made her a force to be reckoned with back when it was just her and she didn't have to worry about love and Marriage and having a husband who she feels doesn't really Support her etc. I would love to find out what happened to them over the past 10 years I would love to know that I'm sure we will find out what happened to them If they are in fact not together anymore But do you think gale whether she get a phone call in screen five? How do you think that will play out? Do you think it'll play out the way I've described? Do you think that would be an exciting thing to watch unfold even on a live broadcast? Like a television show that she asked for herself or her own podcast Or do you think she won't get a phone call and it'll just be a thing that they overlook?

Seren Kierkegaard, Various Readings, Scandinavian Studies and Notes, Volume 6, No. 7, Seren Kierkegaard by David F. Swenson, University of Minnesota, Editor, A. M. Sturtavent, February 1920, Chapters 9 and 10, Pages 36 through 41. From September 1851 to December 1854 there was a pause in the steady stream of publications flowing from Kierkegaard's pen ever since, the year 1843. His reflection had not become sterile, but its energy was consumed in self-preparation for a new role, one more decisive than any he had yet played as the journals of the period bear witness. He was engaged in probing the distance between modern life and the ideals which it professes. And particularly, his reflection seized upon the difference between the life of Christendom and the Christianity of the New Testament. As always, his thought was impassioned, pregnant with indignation in scorn. Real worries, which had assailed him for some time, helped to mature his personality. And there are indications that Kierkegaard began during this period, a course of self-discipline, by means of ascetic exercises, to replace the somewhat luxurious life he had permitted himself earlier to lead. Then in the year 1854 came an opportunity which, in view of his previous publications, appealed to him as a challenge that must be squarely met. In the fall of 1853, Bishop Minster died. He had been a pulpiteer of great ability, and as bishop he had ruled the church with a strong and conservative hand. Kierkegaard maintained close personal relations with him. Minster had been his father's pastor. He admired his ability, and had frequently defended him against attacks which he deemed unjustified. But he had not hesitated to let him know where and how far he differed from him. A few weeks after Minster's death, Professor Martinson, parenthesis, whose Christian dogmatics had so wide a vogue in theological circles at one time in parenthesis, preached a memorial sermon in which the late bishop was eulogized as, quote, one more link in the holy chain of witnesses for the truth, stretching all the way from the days of the apostles to our own times, end, quote. This idealization of bishop Minster seemed to Kierkegaard an impudent falsification of the Christian ideal, symptomatic of that demoralization to which Christendom as a whole was subject. He wrote at once a brief but emphatic protest. Professor Martinson was a candidate for the vacant bishop prick, and hence Kierkegaard postponed publication until the appointment was announced, so as to avoid entanglement with political crosscurrents and other irrelevant considerations. Martinson received the appointment, and in December 1854 the article was published in the columns of a daily newspaper in Copenhagen. It places in question the truth of the assertion that bishop Minster was a witness for the truth, maintaining that both as regards the content of his preaching and the form of his personal life, bishop Minster fell far short of the Christian ideal of a witness. That accuses Professor Martinson of plain Christianity, just as children play it being soldiers. This decisive attack upon the ideal legitimization of the established order created a sensation and naturally awakened a storm of protest. Kierkegaard was accused of attacking the memory of the dead, in a violating the sanctity of the grave, of a lack of earnestness of purpose, of an overweening personal pride, of being insane, and of whatever else the wounded feelings of his antagonists could invent. But Kierkegaard brushed objections and objectors aside, keeping straight to his main theme and maintaining it with increasing intensity. For four months, publishing altogether a score of articles at irregular intervals, Kierkegaard kept up the agitation in the columns of Federlandet, Fatherland. It quickly became clear that here was no attack upon the reputation of bishop Minster, as that phrase would be ordinarily understood, but that Denmark was confronted with the most searching critique of the whole established order which bishop Minster represented. If bishop Minster is a witness for the truth, then every clergyman in the country, as even the blindest can see, is also a witness for the truth. What we call being a clergyman, priest, or bishop, is a means of livelihood, just like every other in the community, and a means of livelihood carried on, if you please, within a community where all call themselves Christians, where there is therefore not the slightest danger connected with the preaching of the Christian doctrine, but where on the contrary this situation in life must be regarded as one of the most respected and attractive. Now I ask, is there the slightest resemblance between these clergymen, priests, bishops, and what Christ calls his witnesses, or is it not ridiculous to call such clergymen, priests, bishops, quote, witnesses, end quote, in the sense of the New Testament, as ridiculous as to call field maneuvers in the time of peace, war? But Bishop Martenson persists in calling them witnesses, witnesses for the truth. If the clergy understood their own interests in the matter, they would without delay petition the bishop to give up his terminology, which puts the whole profession, to say the least, in a ridiculous light. For I know several most respectable and able, very able clergymen, but I venture to say that in the whole kingdom there is not one who, when viewed in the light of a witness for the truth, does not present the comic figure, end quote. With rapid strides and bold strokes Kurtigord advanced to the position that the notion of a Christian people, or nation, is an illusion, that a Christianity with official sanction and authority is directly contrary to the teaching of Christ, that Protestantism in general is a silly dishonest perversion of Christianity, and that New Testament Christianity is so completely non-existent in modern states that it is nonsense, even to talk of a reformation, there being nothing to reform. In two separately published leaflets the situation was intensify almost to the breaking point. Quote, wherever you are, my friend, and whatever your life may be, by refusing any longer to take part, parenthesis, if you have hitherto done so, end parenthesis, in the public worship as it is now conducted, with the pretense of being the New Testament Christianity, you will have one less crime, and a heavy one upon your conscience, for you will no longer take part in making a mockery of God, end quote. And shortly after this pronouncement he sharply called the attention of the public to the fact that the clergy were bombed by oath to the New Testament, and then went on to apply the words of Christ in Matthew 23 verses 29 through 33, and Luke 11, 47 and 48, without reservation to an official Christianity of every description, and particularly to that of the Danish Church. The last week in May, Kierkegaard began the publication of a pamphlet called The Moment, in which all together nine numbers appeared up to the end of September, a tenth number was made ready for publication, but its appearance was delayed by Kierkegaard's last illness, so that it came to be published posthumously. In these stirring pamphlets the agitation is carried on to its last consequences, and the measure of the distance between the Christian ideal and the actual life of the Christian world is taken with a certainty and an accuracy that leaves no illusion unexposed. He was a great agitator, says Brandes. His soul was full to the brim with a living indignation, and he had the language completely in his power.  He was just the man to carry on an agitation of which the nineteenth century will scarcely see the equal. He united the personal weight of a lasso to the eloquence of an O'Connell and the biting scorn of a Dean Swift. It is impossible to describe his procedure. One must see how he chisels his scorn into linguistic form, and hammers the word until it shapes itself into the greatest possible, the bloodiest injury, without for a moment ceasing to be the vehicle of an idea. His purpose was ideal. He had no finite end in view, no proposal of a changed organization, no displacement of authorities, no derogation of persons, nothing but a clarification of consciousness in the direction of greater honesty and sincerity. For those who wondered what his motive might be, he replied, quote, I want honesty. I do not represent Christian severity as over against Christian mildness by no means. I represent neither severity nor mildness. I stand for human honesty. And if the human race, or my contemporaries, wish honestly, sincerely, frankly, openly, to rebel against Christianity, and to say to God, quote, We cannot and will not subject ourselves to this power, end quote, well and good, providing this be done openly, frankly, and sincerely, then however strange it may seem to me to say this, I am with them, for I want honesty, end quote. In October 1855 he fell in a faint on the street, and was taken to a hospital. In the notes of the young intern who kept an account of the case, there are incorporated certain expressions to which Kierkegaard gave utterance. The following is from the first day's journal, quote, He considers his disease mortal. His death is necessary to the cause. He has used all his spiritual and intellectual powers to further the cause for which alone he has lived, in which he considers himself especially called and fitted to serve, whence the great intellectual powers with which he has been endowed in connection with so frail a body. If he were to live, he would have to continue his religious agitation, but people would soon tire of it. If he dies, on the other hand, the strength of his cause will be maintained, and as he thinks it's victory. End quote. On the 11th of November he died, forty-two years and six months old. It appeals as a fitting poetic symbolism that the patrimony which had made his untiring literary labours possible should have been found just exhausted at the time of his death. Chapter 10 It would be interesting to speculate upon the reputation that Kierkegaard might have attained and the extent of the influence he might have exerted if he had written in one of the major European languages, instead of in the tongue of one of the smallest countries in the world. An idealism more powerful and more consistent than that of either Emerson or Carlisle, a democratic individualism as thoroughgoing as the aristocratic individualism of Nietzsche, and presented with an equally passionate intensity, an ethical voluntarism clothed in a literary form as persuasive as that of Schopenhauer's philosophy, and a species of pragmatism more carefully and thoroughly worked out than that of either James or Bergson. These qualities must have attracted worldwide attention, and yet he himself believed that the limitations under which he was compelled to labor and the consequent lack of any effective opposition from the outside was a necessary factor in the peculiar development of his personality, and one demanded by his peculiar task. Had he written in English or in German, there would have naturally been enough significant opposition to have consumed a great part of his energy in external polemic. As it was, the outward opposition was negligible. He was compelled to set his own standard and to be his own critic. His reflection was thus turned inward in a greater measure than would otherwise have been possible. This he regarded as essential for the kind of literature it was his mission to produce. This literature will always remain, in one sense, a luxury. It does not have the kind of one-sidedness which would adapt it for the foundation of a school or the promotion of a movement. Nevertheless, it is bound to have an enduring significance. For it, quote, delineates the essential thought determinations of life and of individual existence. In a manner more dialectically precise and more emotionally primitive than anything comparable to be found in any modern literature. David F. Swenson, University of Minnesota.

But it must be said that we cannot arrive at a clear and decided judgment of any form of Christianity, which is not consistently worked out. Cofton's view appears to me to stop short of its legitimate conclusion, as he attributes value not only to the supreme good of the beyond, but also in a relative degree to the moral ends of this world, which stand in no necessary connection with the former. The full energy of the purely transcendental, and therefore anti-rational view of Christianity, we do not find in Cofton, we find it in the Dane, Søren Körkegård. Note 1. One of his works is translated into German. This exercises in Christianity, translated by A Bartholk, Holly, 1878, and gives a tolerably clear representation of Körkegård's original style of thought. I have also had at my disposal a number of papers by the Danish scholars H. Brokner and S. Heegard, which Dr. Alexander Thorsow of Copenhagen was good enough to translate for me. End of note. Søren Körkegård sets out like the Neocontians from the position that truth is not a matter of objective thought at all, since such thought has for its contents some form or other of being, and hence is quite inadequate for the existing, which is not a being but a becoming. Christianity in particular is not a truth which could ever be the subject of scientific knowledge, whether called philosophical or theological or historical. It is rather a relation of existence, which can only be the subject of personal experience of passionate, infinitely interested appropriation. The truth of it consists entirely in the subjective inwardness and passionateness of personal appropriation of and absorption in the absolute relation of existences on which salvation or its opposite depends. The way to Christianity accordingly does not lead through objective thought, which, so far as it is philosophical, is a delusion. So far as it is historical, can only attain to an approximation to the truth, not to the truth itself. But equally little does the way to Christianity lead through the Church, which in its character as Christendom existing in alliance with the world is rather a declension from true Christianity than the way to it. The way to it is no other than subjective thought, self-collection about one's own existence, infinite concern about one's self and one's sins, and the infinite passion of faith or of absorption arising from the deepest, subjective interest in one's personal relation to the divine. But this way possesses several stages and leads through various forms of existence. The first stage is that of immediate or ascetic existence, where life is directed to enjoyment and consists in the passionate lanehold of the moment and of its fortuitous goods at each time without any constancy of direction or any consciousness of the eternal value of the spirit. This stage leads to despair, which is finite, which as finite leads to hardening, but as absolute to submission and so to healing. The ego has to choose between its fortuitous individuality and its eternal spiritual validity. As it determines for the latter, it has gained itself in its freedom or absoluteness and has passed therewith to the position of ethical existence. But the self which has attained its freedom can only maintain it by constantly realizing it. The ethical man is io ipso, the acting man. The absolute freedom can only be realized as one with absolute dependence, for example, in the fulfillment of duty, especially of the man's calling in which the universally human comes to individual expression. But the individual feints under the absolute demand of infinity and comes to require higher assistance. And so the ethical is shown to be a mere transitional sphere on the way to the higher, the religious sphere. The first form of this existence, not yet specifically Christian, is that of general religious inwardness or of absolute direction to the absolute end of eternal salvation. But this absolute end does not admit of being reconciled with the relative ends of finiteness. And so the man who directs himself to that end finds himself confronted with the task of renouncing his finite existence in its relative ends, no longer having his life in them, and in this pathos of self renunciation, accomplishing an act which transcends merely moral action. The fundamental quality of the religious life is suffering. To be without suffering is to be without religion. But the meaning of suffering is self-effacement, which, however, is not a spiritless giving up of ourself, but the strenuous exertion of an uninterrupted struggle for self-mastery. The relation of man to the eternal presents itself primarily as a consciousness of sin and guilt. And out of this comes the specific Christian religious spirit through the faith which lays hold of the paradox. God manifested in time as man and looks for its salvation from its relation to the eternal who came into the limits of time to the divine which put on an individual existence. It is the very essence of Christian faith, Kierkegaard strongly insists, that it conflicts with all the laws and forms of thought, declaring the birth of the eternal in a particular moment of time and the union of God with an individual man in the historical God-man. But this very paradox, which to thought is the inconceivable itself, is all the more the highest, certainly to faith. Faith lays hold of it, a fresh every moment with the infinite energy of a passionate desire of salvation and carries it off as it were in spite of the opposition of the understanding, maintaining it on the strength of its own subjective feeling in spite of everything objective. Faith, according to Kierkegaard, conflicts not merely with particular forms of thought but with thought itself and entirely. It throws all the rational contents of consciousness overboard on principle and loses itself with its consciousness of sin in the paradox of the grace which appeared in time in the God-man in this absolute miracle, thus becoming contemporary with Christ. But this opposition contained in faith to what is naturally human is not limited to the intellectual side. It affects the practical side as well. As the miracle of faith can never be reconciled with reason, the life of faith can never have anything in common with the life of the world. As a need of salvation demands the breach with thought, so it demands that a breach should be made with the finite interests of the world. The absolute religious relation does not, according to Kierkegaard, transcend the relative ethical relations of the life of the world in the sense that it embraces them in itself and seeks to develop its power in them and to elevate them to absolute divine worth and importance. Its relation to them is that of indifference, exclusion, negation. It claims man's whole strength for itself, requires him to refer himself absolutely to the absolute at every moment and sum up all his desires in a convulsive assertion of his entirely subjective relation to God, to his eternal end, to salvation. Then he has no strength left for ethical relations, he must of necessity disappear as unessential and valueless in comparison to the infinite religious relation because they fall outside of it. Hence, Kierkegaard can only find true Christianity in entire renunciation of the world in the following of Christ in lowliness and suffering, especially when met by hatred and persecution on the part of the world. Hence his passionate polemic against ecclesiastical Christianity, which he says has fallen away from Christ by coming to a peaceful understanding with the world and conforming itself to the world's life. True Christianity, on the contrary, is a constant polemical pathos, a battle against reason, nature, and the world. Its commandment is enmity with the world. Its way of life is the death of the naturally human. Not only was this negative relation characteristic of it at its first appearance, this is still its abiding essence. And hence, so long as Christianity remains true to its nature, it can only call forth the most extreme opposition, hatred, and scorn on the part of the world. Where this is not the case, as in the Christianity of the church, it is a sign that true Christianity is adulterated and perverted since it can never be the affair of the mass, but only of the individuals who renounce the world in order to find God and to save their souls. This is a consistent theory. It teaches with a resolution worthy of Tertullian, not in theory only, but in earnest, contempt of reason and science, of nature and of cultivation, of the morals and customs of the world, of marriage as well as others, and of a church which conforms to the world. And there is something refreshing, something commanding in this resolute consistency when we contrast it with the half measures and ambiguities of our Neocontian theologians. It has also the advantage of being incapable of refutation, since refutation can only take place by grounds of reason, the validity of which is here denied in advance. The position is therefore unassailable, yet its trees will not grow till they reach heaven. That is certain from the constitution of human nature, the reason in which cannot be uprooted and was not abolished by Christianity either, so that abstinence from the use of reason in thought and action cannot be permanently epidemic.

Kierkegaard has come to his kingdom slowly. For many years after his death, his name was almost unknown beyond the Danish frontier, and even yet one or two magazine articles represent all the influence he exerts in this country. Yet he is not a man to be neglected without loss. One who has been variously designated the Christian Socrates and the Tycho Bra of modern ethics has surely some deep truth to impart to the world. He did not write for the general public. His methods are altogether different from those of the professed theologian. He wrote because he must. And from the first he found discerning readers whose number at present bits fair to increase. These two essays were written as far back as 1847 and have at last been admirably translated into German by a loving disciple. They utterly defy analysis or criticism of the conventional kind. The first, entitled, ought a man to let himself be killed for the truth's sake, deals with the absolute voluntary character of Christ's atoning passion. The second treats of the difference between a genius and an apostle and contains many memorable sayings upon the authority of the New Testament scriptures. Suffice it to testify that very seldom indeed do we remember to have read papers of alike originality, ingenuity, subtlety, and elemental and passionate power. Their spirit is profoundly Christian. Like the work of all really great minds, they leave irritating trifles on one side and go straight to the center of things. Had Kroekergaard written in German, or which is more difficult to imagine, French, his name would long ago have been a household word. Will someone not translate a selection of his shorter pieces into English? The task would be a comparatively light one, for his style has all the simplicity of nature and his or thoughts which appeal to the universal heart. HR Macintosh, Aberdeen, End of Recording.

Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this lecture we are going to talk about the evolution of galaxies and especially how that works through mergers of galaxies and how galaxies have built up from smaller galaxies over time. So let's go ahead and look, first of all how can we observe changes in galaxies? Well just like when we looked at stars, the changes occur too slow to be able to observe even over a human lifetime or multiple human lifetimes. What we see as a galaxy today, we are going to see essentially exactly the same thing a hundred or even a thousand years from now. However, because light travels at a finite speed, that means we can see galaxies at various stages of their evolution. So a galaxy at a distance of 12 billion light years is seen not as it is today, but as it was when the universe was only 2 billion years old. And this helps us to study galactic evolution. So how can we study these galaxies? What do we look at? Well, we look at their spectra. And this can be difficult because the galaxies are faint. That makes them difficult. However, one thing we can observe when we look at galaxies such as the ones pictured here are the colors of the galaxies. Now remember what this tells us. A blue galaxy tells us there has been recent star formation. A red galaxy says there has not been recent star formation. So looking at the galaxies in the image, we can at least tell which of them have had star formation recently and which have not. The earliest generation of stars we now know that the heavy elements formed in the first billion years of the history of the universe. It did not take long for those early generations of stars to form heavier elements. How do we know? Well, even really distant galaxies show lines of heavy elements that were not created in the Big Bang. So how do galaxies evolve? How do they change over time? Well, what were the early galaxies like? How can we see what a galaxy was like billions of years ago? We can see them. We can actually see these galaxies. And what we find is that early galaxies do not look like today's galaxies. Meaning the nearby galaxies the ones that we see as they are closer to the current time. Galaxies in the very early, sorry galaxies very early in the history of the universe were smaller and bluer than galaxies that we see today. And they were also much more chaotic. There was a lot more distortion of galaxies due to collisions going on. So the Hubble classification was made based on the galaxies that we see today. Those are nearby within maybe a hundred million light years or a little more or something like that. And that was what the Hubble classification was based on. Earlier galaxies look quite different than this. So what do we learn about galaxy mergers? Galaxies combining together. And we now believe that mergers and interactions between galaxies are very important in the evolution of galaxies. This is the primary way that galaxies evolve over time. We talk about galaxies colliding. Why did we never talk about stars colliding when we looked at stars or even now? That's because stars do not collide. Galaxies are very large compared to the distances between them. Stars are incredibly tiny compared to the distances between them.  That would be comparable maybe to roughly the idea of what a galaxy might be. If you also had a dozen BBs that could somehow surround that room, again never stopping, the odds of them bumping into each other is very, very small by comparison. And by doing this we are certainly vastly understating the difference in size between the galaxies and the stars. And we also, as we show here, many instances of galactic collisions have now been observed. So here we see a few of those, but there are a lot of galaxies that are seen to collide and are distorted because of that. So what happens when galaxies collide? It is not like an ordinary collision. It takes hundreds of millions of years. As I said, the individual stars do not collide. However, gas clouds will collide which enhances star formation, giving us sometimes what we call a starburst galaxy with extra material forming around, here we see in the blue, extra material that has formed. And streams of material will, streams of material can be expelled as those gravitational fields interact. So this distorts the galaxies and gives us the title stream such as we looked at with our Milky Way. The shapes of the galaxies can be vastly distorted from what we're used to. So here we see a galaxy with a ring pattern around it possibly because of a splash almost when a galaxy passed right through another galaxy. So we see a lot of enhanced star formation in the blue and we see this ring of material around that could have been distorted by that collision. Now what else do galaxies do? We talk about galaxy collisions. We also talk about galactic cannibalism. So friction often causes these colliding galaxies to merge. This is Centaurus A which we've looked at previously which is two galaxies in the process of colliding. They will merge together to become a single even larger galaxies. So the way we look at it is large sized galaxies merge, large galaxies will cannibalize, will consume those smaller galaxies that exist. And we will see that some galaxies show multiple nuclei from these collisions where the galaxies have collided but here we see one example where the two nuclei are still separate and have not yet coalesced together. That will eventually happen where we can see multiple nuclei even if the galaxies may not we may not see them colliding anymore. We can see those from previous mergers. So let's look at the timeline of these galaxy collisions and in fact collisions are relatively rare today less than 5% of galaxies. They were much more common in the past. Distant galaxy clusters sometimes show multiple collisions going on. So here we see a number of those in Hubble Space Telescope images from a variety of different galaxies, some showing relatively small amounts of interaction, others showing significant distortion. So what has happened is that galaxies have built up from those small blue galaxies that existed long ago to the larger spiral and elliptical galaxies that we see today. Now we've looked previously at active galaxies and how does that tie into this? Well collisions can feed the black hole at the center of a galaxy making it become an AGN, an active galactic nucleus. These AGNs were much more common in the early universe. Why? Because collisions were more common. So forming active galactic nucleus core and the jets may impact the star formation in the remainder of the galaxy. So this may actually impact what happens with the galaxy in the long run as well. And here we see one example in that collision with the jets of material coming out from the central core. So let's go ahead and finish up with our summary and what we've looked at this time is that galaxy evolution is driven by collisions and by galactic mergers and cannibalism. Galaxy collisions take a long time to occur. The individual stars do not collide. And the galaxy collisions were much more common in the early history of the universe and are relatively rare today. So that concludes this lecture on galaxy evolutions and mergers. We'll be back again next time for another topic in astronomy. So until then have a great day everyone and I will see you in class.


Being here at the 21 convention 2022 has been an eye-opening experience. The biggest takeaway from this experience in general would probably be the people that I've met because without the people, none of it would have been possible. There are actually three events that are happening under one umbrella. One specifically for women, one specifically for fathers, and one for men. I love the fact that it comes from so many different angles. The majority of the speakers, they have their own perspective, they have their own foundations, things that they morally agree with, but all of it revolves around masculinity and bringing that back. I believe that it's been a great outlet for men to be able to find that thing that we've always seemed to be missing.  If he's never made into a man, men are made. The main experience is the community. I think it's absent in society. It's just a group of men talking and hanging out and like-minded, like self-improvement and for helping the country. Just having this little tribe for four days, I think that was just very valuable. Look, you can get the content if you go to 21 University. And you know, that's great. And I encourage guys to do that who couldn't make it in person. But really, the reason you come to these events is so that you can interface with speakers, but most importantly for other attendees. Like what I see here is I see all these attendees, they're getting lunch together, they're chatting, they're sharing their stories, they're connecting. A lot of the guys here became friends from prior conferences. And so now they come together to this, to sort of check in on each other and it's like it builds life on friendships and like a brotherhood. I find it really powerful here. As a coach myself, I've really gleaned a lot. I'm going to be able to take away helping other men's lives as well. So this is my second time at the 21 Convention and it's a group of men who come together and recognize that it is a responsibility of men to become better and stronger and to be examples in their communities. I'd say it's definitely something you should go to and the speeches were very intelligent and very detailed and very in-depth. It was a lot deeper than someone may think by seeing the advertising and I just recommend it at an intellectual level, at a political level, and at a personal level. It's just really interesting to see where these guys have gone and how their life has improved since the prior summit and they just keep coming back to get that next level. Yes, I would recommend that someone comes to the 21 Convention in 2023. I believe you definitely should come because there is something here for everybody and I can guarantee you you'll walk away to give something to everybody. At 21 Summit, we're making men alpha again, rebuilding the patriarchy and making women great again. Change you can believe in.


This is JSA TV the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals I'm Dean Perine of JSA and we are coming at you live from Metro Connect 20 Metro Connect It's Metro Connect 2023 in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I am here with mr. John Denemark John is the SVP and GM at Newstar John welcome to JSA TV Thank you.  Sure. Well, why don't I introduce myself and Newstar at the same time? So as you said, I'm the SVP and GM for carrier provisioning division of Newstar and we're a trans union company No, I'll tell you a little bit more about that in a sec. So I Live in Northern Virginia. I've got two boys that are at school So my wife and I are empty nesters now for Newstar. Congratulations. Oh, well, thank you. We're still getting used to it So for Newstar, you know, Newstar was created back in 1996 to address the porting portability challenge for the United States and Canada So one of the main interoperability challenges for the telecom Industry back then and with our carrier provisioning division. We have continued that focus on interoperability And say that say that a couple times in a row. Okay, so Whether that's on the numbering or porting sides where we started or now automating the Intercarrier ordering platforms That's kind of where we're focused and what we're bringing to market is new and innovative solutions in the space that make The ordering of wholesale network access simpler Automated easier better customer experience. So let's talk about that. Yeah, does that how does that work? I mean, obviously that comes with its own unique set of challenges. How are you addressing those right? So so the main challenges in this base is that there are thousands of carriers Literally both in the US and internationally that sell network in some way shape or form They sell their network access right the last mile. For example, they sell Ethernet broadband So internet-based connectivity a bunch of different products And there is no real standard out there that standardizes that and makes that simple And so the carriers that are selling they have their own little spin up Right and the carriers that are buying find that experience difficult and then that is that difficult experience then Impacts the end-users experience the enterprises that are the ultimate customers here, right? And so what we do to solve that is we've created something called universal order connect UOC for short and It's been called the Swiss Army knife of ordering, right? So we can we can take care we solve that challenge because Our customers whether they're on the buy side and they're buying or they're on the sell side that are selling We simplify this world for them and we connect the buyers and the sellers in a standardized way That makes that process simple and more automated You you could not be seguing but any better than I could myself that automation Let's talk about that because that to me feels like it's probably key to the whole system. Oh, absolutely I mean part of the reason that this is a difficult difficult process is that It is not automated typically right that there are standalone legacy systems that don't talk to each other there's a bunch of swivel chair in between and what we do with our solution is is We kind of solve that that problem We're an API based solution that you can integrate with your OSS and BSS stacks and that you can integrate across the ordering Platforms and so then we make those orders flow and once you do that you all of a sudden start to see Scalability issues go away resolved right you get cost per order down You get cycle times that are shorter now than they used to be There are a number of benefits that our customers see That are really transformative to the way that they do business once they implement the solution. That's again great segue So to me to me everything that you're talking about ultimately has And an impact on how business gets done correct within the industry Yeah, so so put on put on you can take out your crystal ball and let me know so in an ideal world Your solution does what for the marketplace? Oh well in an ideal world We connect the entire ecosystem and we're able to automate that process from front to back There is some attempts at automation in other ways and and you know Sometimes people focus on a task and they want to automate that right well in a perfect world Honestly the process and the end is automated so you can do your service ability check you can get your quote You can turn that into an order the order is placed if there's a problem later with that order you can create a self Service assurance ticket. I mean it's all and that's what we provide We provide that entire functionality that can pull that process together on our customers behalf So well beyond traditional CPQ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and we've got partners You know that we can bring into the fold like we don't do the quoting ourselves But because we're API based we can pull that together and and make it flow. I love it. I love it And thank you very much for being here. Yeah. No, it was my pleasure. Thank you for the time And I appreciate it for our viewers that would like to know more about Newstar. Where should they go?  Look for the communication solutions and carry your provisioning and and we've got a lot of great Material out there and of course you can email me at any time and I John dot Denmark At team dot new star and EU John thank you so much. Oh, no, thank you. You bet you bet and thank you viewers for watching jsa tv. We'll see you soon


Welcome to another Winter's Day vlog. Today is Monday and I need to start on a process that I call de-weekending the house. Because our Sundays are screen free Sundays, wherein the children don't get to go onto any screen at all, they tend to mess up the house as they do a lot of old-fashioned play. And on top of the fact that I had quite a lot of other things going on, the laundry fell behind. I didn't keep up with the laundry. So everything is a little bit of a mess and today's cleaning Monday needs a lot of extra focus and attention on my part. Most Mondays I'm actually able to do the whole house as part of Flylading's routine called the weekly home blessing. But for this week I've had to split it into two and deal with mainly the lounge, the downstairs toilet, the family bathroom, as well as the kids bedrooms. And then I'll do the rest of the house on Tuesday. The family bathroom again just seems to have become a magnet for a lot of things that just accumulated and it just became a real mess. And though normally this would take me about 20 minutes, it probably took me a good hour, hour and a half, to thoroughly clean it and get it back to the state in which I was happy with it. Which is just as well. It felt a little bit like it was a spring clean. And given that we are in February, that lovely little month that's tucked in between January, which is a bit of an exciting month because we think about our New Year's resolutions and there's always a sense of excitement of a clean slate. And then March has got so much joy and promise in it because that's when spring tends to be more or less in full spring with the cheerful duffer deals and spring lamps all over the place and you're looking forward to Easter. I do find that February can be a little bit challenging because it's sort of neither here nor there. It's not perfectly winter most of the time, particularly for us in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's not quite yet perfectly spring. Case in point, I got really excited because the crocuses were out, the duffer deals seemed to be trumpet-ing, but then the next day we had snow. It's in February that I begin to make my list of things that I require for the big spring clean, which I always try to get done by the end of February. The word February actually comes from the Latin word for februarius, meaning to purify. And in ancient Rome this was a month dedicated to purifying the excesses of the festive season and re-establishing healthy habits. Centuries later, February, two housekeepers across the land, it still represents a time when we establish and celebrate scarcity in the form of lint and lay the foundations for a clean and clutter-free spring. And I'm definitely looking forward to spring. While traditionally spring cleaning happened in March, now I choose to use February to sweep away the cobwebs because there's just too much life to be lived in March with all its promise of morning walks, bouncing lamps and Easter and all the fun stuff that happens in March. So part of the process of my cleaning on this particular day is I also make notes about the cleaning equipment, tools, resources that I will need for the big spring clean. I plan on starting my big spring clean a week from now and that will be after the children have gone back after the half-term holidays that we have here in England. Being a Monday it's a soup day and I already had some tomato soup that I double-batched last week so there won't be any cooking or recipes shared in this video but hopefully you'll stay around for some cleaning tips and some cleaning fun. Now on to what I'm actually doing. So I'm starting off in the laundry room. It's the furthest part of the house that's out. I prefer to clean the laundry room first before I move on to the lounge so that I'm not tracking things from the laundry room into the lounge and vice versa. So I start off with clearing off the counter. Is it just me or is there something very satisfying about clearing a counter? Fly lady calls them hot spots, you know, the areas that just seem to gather things at a miraculous rate. Well in the laundry room it is the counter. So I started off by wiping that down and I also like to make sure that I wipe down my washing machine and the dryer. I didn't always use to do this and it's something that I've had to learn from having done a bad job and having had to get new ones so it's something that I do regularly. Every Monday I will wipe them down. I didn't manage to record this but another thing that I do with the washing machine is I look after the rubber seal that's at the mouth of a front loading washing machine by wiping it down with some vinegar and drying it up. And another thing that I always do to ensure that I keep my washing machine in tip-top condition is overnight I never leave anything in the washing machine. Number two I dry out the rubber seal. So you've got that big rubber seal. I always make sure that I never leave that wet overnight and I always leave the door open on the washing machine overnight. The washing machine that I have now is a new one because the last one the rubber seal went on account of the fact that I wasn't doing all of those things and this washing machine is three years going and there's no sign of damage to the rubber seal. I also needed to top up the laundry powder that I use. I'm buying a laundry powder from Costco. I use the Kirkland Signature one and it works really well but I don't like to have the big tub right onto the counter so I tend to use a smaller 1kg tub that I decant into. And by the end of it the laundry room was back to some semblance of order and it was very satisfying. I also sorted out the things in my cleaning caddy by putting all of the usable spray bottles on one side and folding up and organizing my rags into polishing rags and wet scrubbing down rags. I love this caddy so much. It made such a huge difference for me when I started taking my cleaning very seriously. I have this non bio gel that I bought from Aldi a long time ago but it didn't quite work out because my children's skin was quite sensitive to it. So I now use it basically for cleaning the downstairs toilet because one of the other things that I learned from fly ladies that soap is soap is soap. One of the things that I start doing is by wiping down the door and the door handle. For some reason dust seems to gather on the door in this room. I've never figured out why that is but yeah I will wipe it down and particularly spend a bit of time on the door handles and particularly the light switch plates especially in winter when there's a lot more coughs, colds and sniffles going on. And though cleaning is such a joyful thing to do one thing that I learned a few years ago was the usefulness of rubber gloves. My hands used to be so terrible because I never used to bother with wearing rubber gloves but now I wear them and it's really nice to always have cuticles in good shape and in good form and the hands not to be dry. So now these marigolds they are a staple. I always make sure that I have them and I have a spare. So I make sure that I've got marigolds in the kitchen cupboards and each of the bathrooms has got a set of marigolds. I always wash down the hand sanitizer bottles as well as the hand lotion bottles. I always make sure that there's hand sanitizer and lotion. Some of my children have eczema and so it's important for them to keep their skin moisturized. And then I will just wash everything down regardless of how clean it may look. So this is one of the things that I also learned from Fly Lady that I'm very grateful for was that you don't always have to clean when things look absolutely filthy dirty. So even though this room wasn't as clean or as tidy as it normally is the sink itself looked clean and back in the day old healer from decades ago would have just thought okay well I can skip this but that's how dirt accumulates. So every Monday I do this process. Sometimes if I'm in a rush or I have little time in the morning I will just use my antibacterial surface spray. I'll spritz that and then I'll just wipe everything down and that keeps things on an even kill. Every week I do this cleaning with the toilet where I put in some hot very hot water and then I'll use this power-forming toilet cleaner that is really fabulous. It foams up and it just cleans the toilet and it removes limescale buildup. So if I had to sum up what my cleaning strategy is when it comes to the bathrooms is I am constantly fighting limescale and I'm constantly on the lookout for products that can help me with that because the limescale buildup is so fast and it is crazy. And so this one is a really good one and I'll just sprinkle the powder in and one sachet is good for one use. I think I could get away with doing it every two weeks but honestly I've found that the best way to keep the limescale in check is to do this every week. And what it does is with exposure to water it just foams up and it bubbles up and it just really leaves a very nice clean looking toilet bowl and I do love doing this so I do this every Monday for each of the toilets in the home. It's a very satisfying way to clean the toilet and then I'll make sure to just clean underneath the rim. Another thing that I do to fight limescale is I'm always using these lube blocks that also turn the color blue that I quite like in the toilet and I will leave the brush to dry out like just by popping it underneath the seat so that it can dry out because a toilet brush can be a haven for bacteria if you don't let it dry out and that's something that I learned from a great channel called Clean My Space which just has a lot of great cleaning tips. I'll link it in the description box down below. It's definitely worth it if you're somebody who hates cleaning and you want to learn how to love cleaning which is the place that I came from. I really used to hate cleaning a lot. So I will also top up the toilet roll because this is the downstairs toilet and we store our toilet roll that we buy in bulk up in the attic so the last thing you want is to run out of toilet roll when the nearest one is up in the attic. The other thing that I like to do probably every six months or so is to replace the toilet brush. So I get these toilet brushes from Wilkinsons and they're only about three pounds the last time that I bought them but the prices may have increased since then and I tend to buy maybe five or six of them in one go and keep them in storage so that I can replace them as and when needed.  I even opened up the window just to let some fresh air in and it was a it was a good one. It's a nice place to start off with something small because you can build up momentum and I even mopped the floor and it was just really lovely. I had to stop at that point to take my girls to the shops they're on half-term and whilst we're at the shops looking for a present for a party they were going to I couldn't resist this little mini orchid and I just I love orchids. I have them in my dining area and I have them in my bathroom they're so beautiful and I also happened to have this old flower vase that had been sitting around for a while and I thought it might fit and it's fabulous. I was so happy that it fit in there and I knew just the perfect place for each to go because when I finished cleaning the downstairs bathroom I just kept thinking it's just it's missing a pop of something and though I have some lovely succulents in there that I've had for years I thought the moment I saw this I thought it would be perfect for the downstairs bathroom.  Healthy roots would look very nice and turgid and green and it just looked so pretty. I gave it just a tiny little top up of water because it was just a tiny little bit on the dry side but orchids don't need a lot of water at all in their native environment they grow on trees so they're not actually sort of sogy they're not set in water. I decided to put it up on the shelf because that window is south facing and that would have been too much sun for the orchid and in the meantime the laundry cycle still had to keep going and I had to do some folding. So throughout the day I always have a good idea of how many minutes are left on the dryer cycle in particular because the dryer particularly on Mondays is basically going all day long and each time it finishes I have to make sure that I get to it quickly so that I can fold the garments whilst they're still warm and that reduces the amount of creases or any ironing requirements. I do like to separate out garments by type and category especially if I've accumulated too much laundry like in this particular case. So I'm just doing trousers and it's just so much faster and easier if I'm just folding up trousers and then just folding up shirts and I try and separate them out by color so that's that's how I found the laundry to work best for me over the years. Moving on to the lounge now I now clean the lounge using the organized mom method and basically what I learned from Gemma that's the name of the lady who came up with the organized mom method so if I'm saying Gemma I'm talking about Tom or the organized mom method is that when you clean a room you pick a section and then you work clockwise from it you pick a corner rather and then you start to clean it clockwise whereas before I used to be like oh I'm going to first of all pick out all of the odds and ends pick out the rubbish and then move this to the other bed I actually found that I love Gemma's suggestion of starting in one corner and then you go clockwise which has the benefit of if you have to stop and go do something else which often happens with me when I'm cleaning it's not often that I'm lucky enough to be able to do one full cleaning session without any interruption it's very easy for me to see exactly where I had left off because I'm literally living a path of cleanliness behind me. So for the lounge I always start on the door that leads into the laundry room so I start by wiping that down and then I move on to the cabinet and so I'll then hoover after it and I have to admit that I was quite skeptical when I first read the organized mom method but you know I'm always up for trying things and then if they work it's fantastic if they don't work it's okay you know no no harm done you at least realize that it doesn't work but yeah if you haven't checked out the organized mom method I do recommend it I do think that it is a pretty good system to use it's not quite as mature and full-on as Fly Lady but that's because Fly Lady has been going for decades now she's been around for so long whereas the organized mom method relatively speaking is quite young but I do believe that it has a lot of potential and as long as Gemma keeps on working on it refining it and tweaking it I think that it will get to a point where it's you know it's right up there with Fly Lady so as you can see behind me it's now nice and clean so when I had to stop to go and deal with a delivery and then deal with the laundry I knew exactly where I had left off and I like that I think that it is a fabulous system for it so as I'm actually doing this I'm also making notes about the things that I need to get done or things that need to get fixed in the room in preparation for this big spring clean that I'm going to be doing after this week. Part of that preparation includes booking time with a carpet cleaner they do tend to get quite busy towards the spring and summer months so I try and get that booking done early. So this is another one of those things that I've had to learn the hard way the first set of cupboards that I actually had in this lounge we had to get rid of them because they were destroyed beyond redemption and that's because we had you know so many kids that were just playing in there with their slimes and the play-dohs and I wasn't cleaning up after any messes or anything like that so by the time I did get around to calling in a carpet cleaner I think three years ago they basically said you know they're damaged there's only so much that we can do and so we had to replace the carpet and so the carpet that you're seeing now is in its second year and I have been doing good practice on it and the carpet cleaner showed me what I needed to do if there's a spill and how to look after it and basically the advice was stay away from the commercial carpet cleaning you know those foam sprays that you see in shops that say oh just spray this you say that that was one of the worst things that you can do on them because they tend to have bleach and so they can actually damage the carpet so I use baking soda so he always said a lot of the stuff you can deal with using bicarbonate of soda or baking soda and so that's what I do and I've instructed the children to just always tell me if they spill anything on the carpets so that it can be cleaned up straight away and so far that seems to have been working plus also I asked the carpet cleaner for a recommendation for a carpet type that's great for high volume because we have five kids and along with my husband that's seven people and as well as visitors I was willing to pay a little bit extra for a more hard-wearing carpet and he recommended these these ones are called steel carpets and apparently they've got some steel fiber I don't quite understand the chemistry behind the textiles but they are they they are called steel carpets and they are fabulous let me tell I just I love this carpet so much and it is so much fun to Hoover it because every time that I Hoover it you can it looks really really lovely the downside is you can tell when people have walked over it because it's got a two-tone shade to it but it's such a lovely carpet to Hoover and from that experience of realizing that if you have a nice carpet you enjoy looking after it my plan is over the years to eventually replace the rest of the carpets in the house with a similar sort of carpet and the lounge once cleaned up it is so lovely I do like a clean house I must admit and because I have to walk through the lounge every time to go to the laundry room it is quite nice to always be seen it in a tidy state and there we have it everything has been cleaned folded cushions all nicely plumped and another thing that I like to do is I like to putter around and change things so this display here the flowers and the foliage had dried out so I moved the flowers from another part of the house and some little knickknacks that I have just to create a little bit of a table display with little Mr. Otter over here who I think would look better staring at the flowers than away from the flowers these carnations are in their third or fourth week now which is why I love carnations they lost ages now it was time to move on to the big baddie of them all the family bathroom so I had my audible on so that I could be listening to a book and just like with the organized mom method I pick a corner to start in by the door and I just wipe down by the door and then I move clockwise and on yes this is clockwise and so I move clockwise around the bathroom cleaning the the taps and cleaning the sinks etc and yeah rubber gloves on because I don't want to damage my hands as much I should you know I'd love to get the pink marigolds I think that's what I'm gonna do next time I'll get myself the pink marigolds so with the bathroom I also use this foaming cleaner and it's one that I picked up from B&M bargains but it's not as great as the other one that I showed you downstairs so I'm not gonna go on too much about that one but I have to finish it because I bought it so I also have some flowers and plants in this bathroom here because I just I love the energy that house plants and flowers bring to a home they bring such a fresh energy into the house and yeah so I always try to make sure that I have those and I do enjoy cleaning them and looking after them so one thing that I do want to change in the bathroom is I need some more prints in there so that's something that I added to my spring clean list and things that I want to do and so the other thing that I do is I will wipe down everything because the bathroom here it's a bit of a it's a dust trap we have to have the windows open even in winter to let the moisture out because the house is a humidity issue and because of that it's on the exposed side so whenever wind is blowing we just we just get a lot of dust in there and if I don't wipe down on a every day or every other day basis it accumulates a film of dust so that's something that I always have to keep on on top of most of the stuff that was in here it was just a case of things weren't getting put away where they live and hence it was just looking so cluttered the bathtub I like to use a mix of washing up liquid and some sift cream cleaner which just has this tiny little micro crystals or sometimes I'll use bicarbonate of soda and just give it a really good scrubbing so that everything just looks nice and shiny it's very satisfying on an evening to be able to walk up to the bathroom looking forward to a nice hot bath and there's a nice clean shiny bathtub there the thing that I'm still working on is teaching the kids how to clean the bathtub properly when they use it I'm still working on that one of the things that I've actually noted that needs to be done in this particular bathroom is I'm gonna need to work on cleaning the ceiling I didn't have time to do it this time around but it's on the list of things to do for when I do the big spring clean so I'm already on the lookout for tools that I'll be able to use for that when it comes to doing the floor though I do have a mop I don't quite like lugging the mop upstairs to the bathroom it doesn't quite work I've tried it before I've just found that it's better for me to go old-fashioned go on my hands and knees and just use my old rugs from old towels that I cut up that would then go into the wash on their own and just clean everything and I finish off by adding a lube block into the cistern of the toilet again constantly fighting limescale the struggle is real I'm constantly fighting limescale and then just give the mirror a quick polish I like to use the window cleaner and using this I hope I'll say this correctly I think they're called chamois cloth that just make cleaning glass and mirrors just really such an easy thing to do and the window cleaner spray I've had that for years now that stuff last ages because you don't need much of it is just like one or two squirt sprays and then it it works and I find that a clean mirror really helps to deal with the steam very nicely that way we don't get a lot of streaks on the mirror itself I can now honestly say that I do enjoy cleaning it wasn't always the case I really used to hate cleaning and just wanted to be as efficient and get it done as quickly as possible but now I do love it I do find there's a certain spiritual connection with making sure that the environment that I'm living in is pleasing to look at because how our eyes when we see things that visual input whenever it isn't pleasant you know I think that it feeds into unpleasant thoughts as well so I do love it when I've got the house in some sort of a tidy state when I get it clean it's even nice although I do make the distinction between clean and tidy and so that's all that I have for today thank you so much for visiting with me on cleaning day and cleaning along with me and I hope that you've enjoyed hanging out with me on this day I will link all of the things that I was talking about in the description box down below particularly the books etc and I will leave you with a quote from one of the first books that I actually read about cleaning and decluttering that helped me from Marie Kondo and I hope that this will also bless you and until I see you next time I wish you blue skies help and happiness bye


Annyeonghaseyo guys today. It's a beautiful day for dying in squid games. So we're gonna play squid games.  We invited our friends and they're all gonna play the squid games with us. Guys show us your numbers. I'm number one. I'm the old man. I'm 199. You're strong man. She's a strong man. And this guy's 69. 69 and 96. Nice. And we're gonna see who would actually survive the squid games. Yes. They're not me. They're not 99. Don't bet on number one. $45 million. Here we come. Gaming is hard work. We're eating better than they did in squid games though. They give them like a single potato. It was crazy. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It was crazy. I was so like emotionally attached to this little family at first. And then when they started dying I was like what's going on.  I'm like they're playing red like green light and then everyone gets shot. Everyone gets shot in like 10 seconds. Everybody's dead. Everyone's dead.

And Yungi here is going to explain to us the rules because she played this as a little kid and lost all the time. I was too young. I mean the people will be putting two separate groups, the offense and the defense. So the defense, they try to stop the offense people to get to the squid inside the squid. And the attackers, they need to make it to the squid head. And when they tap the squid head, boom, they win and the defense, they die. And they get eliminated. Ten million dollars on 67. Five million dollars on 67. You too. One million dollars on 69. Why do you choose 69? Because. Because? Nice. Because he can't have 96. Go. 67. Five million dollars. Why is he still on one foot? It's your first circle. Oh he got her. So now he gets to be on two feet, right? 67. You gotta push him out. You gotta push him out. You gotta push him out. Yes. Angles. Angles. Push him out. Push him out. Yes. Let's go 69. Let's go. Fight him. We both lost, but we're going to play for fun. We're going to play just for fun, but we're not going to hurt each other because we're gentle. I have a plan. I have a plan. Wait. What are you going to do? I can't tell you.  I want to attack. Okay, I'll be the defense. Yeah yeah yeah. Okay, let's go.
