So, what are you thinking about over here? Which word are you working on? So, what are you thinking so far about that word? Are there any parts that you recognize? We recognize V, but we don't see what it means. What kind of word part is V? A suffix. Why is it a prefix and not a suffix? Because a suffix comes at the end of a word, prefix is at the beginning. Okay, so let's think about that prefix then. What kind of impact might that have on the meaning, then, of the word? Are there other words that you recognize that have that same prefix? Replay. Replay, okay. So, think about the meaning of that word. Is that a word that you're familiar with, the meaning of it? So, why don't you have a little discussion about what you think then that prefix might mean related to that word? Okay? Maybe, um... Well, what is revoke mean? Prevoke means take something away. So, maybe it could be to take it away again. Or it could be. We can, like, evoke up an addiction.


Wearing a prosthetic limb is not always comfortable. I want to show you a trick that I use on days when I am feeling discomfort or pain. The first thing that I'm going to do is take my leg off and reach for this silicone lotion. It basically helps to remove some of the friction that I might be feeling on my leg bones or perhaps where my knee touches my socket. I'm going to rub it on any area where I feel pain, discomfort, too much pressure, and it usually helps to relieve a lot of that. One of the weirdest things about being an amputee that I never would have imagined is the fact that your limb does not stay the same size or shape throughout the day or throughout your lifetime. Your leg might fit really great one day and then not feel so awesome the next day, and this lotion is one trick that I use to feel a little bit more comfortable as I walk.


So Fidget Spinners being the latest craze, we decided that we wanted to go and show all the design process taking it through from prototype to final product. So first step is to put all your measurements and designs into the 3D software, place all those components together into one part, then send it either to the laser cutter or the 3D printer to make the prototype, and then actually physically put the parts together to make sure that they all fit. So while Fidget Spinners are something you can mindlessly do with your hands while not paying attention, you have to put a lot of attention to detail and actually getting the design right so you get something that's useful at the end. So if students have an idea for a product, the only limitation is the size of the machine. So what I love about engineering is the fact that you can think about something, create it, prototype it and get it in your hands within weeks these days.


Let's talk about squatting with a cable machine. Now you might notice I'm in my parents' great room right here and there's no cable machine, so we're gonna have to use our imaginations. What is this exercise? So basically the cable has a pulley system and it resists you. You might use them for cable rows or something. What they'll do is I'll hold onto the handles and it'll pull me forward. And so if I don't wanna fall down, which I don't wanna fall down, I'm gonna shift my weight back away from the cable. This just helps me maintain my balance. Now from there, I can do a squat pattern and then get a little bit more mobility out of the cable. I'm gonna have to move my mic because I'm gonna split it doing the squat. So generally when I'm doing a cable squat, I want to train my mobility, right? It's not the greatest way to train any sort of force development or any muscle exhaustion, I don't think. You could do like a continuous movement kind of thing and just make sure you're pushing really hard or pushing yourself really hard while you're doing it and you could get some sort of hypertrophy stimulus from it but generally when I'm using a cable squat, I'm using it to cue some mobility.   Do you feel your lower abdominals turn on? I want you to feel that. If you don't try to exhale a little bit more in that position and then tuck a little bit harder, see if you can feel them then. Generally people get them by then but if you don't just stick with it, just try to make sure your heels are down in the ground while you're doing it. So I'm holding on the cable handle, it's pulling me forward. I got this block in between my knees and I'm gently squeezing it. Hopefully I feel my adductors, hopefully I feel my hamstrings. Those are all things that you can be looking for. If you don't, it's okay to move on because this is a low risk, high reward kind of exercise here. So I got my hip tuck, I got my abs and I'm just gonna squat down as low as I can. If I feel myself do this, then I'm gonna stop there, okay? So that is not the depth that I want. That's just a spinal collapse that I'm getting there. So again, tuck abs and I squat back down. Other thing that I might notice, instead of my chest caving down, I might notice my hips start to roll back like this and I put a lot of stress on this low back right here and even sometimes you'll stick your chest up like this and it'll totally reverse your spinal position. So if I see that or if I feel that while I'm doing it, I don't want that. So I'll stop a little sooner. It's okay if I'm not squatting all the way down while I'm doing this because it does take a lot of mobility, especially while you're holding this block and especially if you find yourself squatting with your knees really wide, this variation is really good for you, right? But you won't be able to squat as deep because we're purposefully limiting your motion so that you can open up the backside of your hip. This is a good active form of like a hip capsule stretch. You might see some people doing a pigeon stretch or whatever on the ground to try to lengthen the tissues back there but this is a good way to teach you how to hang on to it while you're still opposing gravity. You'll find this sort of adaptation is harder to attain but lasts for longer because it's active. It's active learning. So last recap, we got tuck with an exhale, got our abs, blocking the knees, holding the cable and we sit down, we go pretty slow here. You can either hold here and take breaths or you can do like a slow continuous movement to try to mobilize yourself into the right position.


Today, we're opening a massive Yu-Gi-Oh! collection. What's up, guys? We're back with another epic video. Today, I was sent this massive box, as you guys just saw in the intro, and it was advertised as the deal of a lifetime. That's what he told me. He said, this is the deal of a lifetime. I'm going to send you this collection. You're going to open it up, and then you pay me $200. If you guys know, we spend a lot more than $200 a lot. So this is a large box. I feel like we could potentially have the deal of a lifetime here. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this Rage of Raw booster box.  Let me know if you think this box will actually be the deal of a lifetime. Will it be a good deal? Will it be a scam?  I'm going to open this box off camera because it's too large, but we're going to do one by one on camera. That did not make sense for whatever. All right. First off, we have, oh, wrapping paper. Wait for it. Wait for it. More wrapping paper. Okay. Let's get into the real stuff. What is this? I feel like I should know what this is. This is obviously from some sort of anime that I don't recognize. All right. Cool. We then have, it looks like a lot of comments. So we are not going to be going through every single comment because that would be crazy, but let's see. We have Donna Majesty. We have a starter deck. Okay. Cool stuff. Here is something that looks like it has a note on it.  Beth wishes to you and your family. So first of all, we have what looks like a blazing vortex so we could pull that pot of prosperity. That's pretty cool. Wait, is it? Wait, no. This might be open. What's in here? All right. We're about to find out. This might be an open box or something. Oh, packs. Yo, are these sealed? So if these are sealed, this is cool. Definitely. This is a, okay. We have a duelist pack you say to. We have a pharaoh servant, dragons of legend, complete series. We got a skill card from dueling or speed duel, whatever it's called, basically the same thing.  That's actually pretty cool. I've never opened that set except for in the every pack opening. We have a stardust overdrive pack. That's a really good one. We have fists of the gadgets. We have code of the duelist. We have dawn of majesty, legendary duelist synchro storm, king's court. Man, this is actually a cool collection. We got magic, the gathering. I don't think I've ever opened a magic pack, complete series. I really don't think I've opened one. Crow, there we go, Simo. We've got a dark crisis spell ruler and a blue eyes, white dragon. Nice little variety there. We're already borderline, kind of knocking out of the park for 200 bucks. So wait, okay. We have more stuff in here. Let's see if there's anything that's non-common. Okay. This is a lot of Pokemon cards. Turn away. It's just Pokemon. This seems like it's going to be common cards. We're just going to shuffle through these real quick to make sure. So common cards and common cards. See, I don't really know anything that's going to be in here. I think he told me a couple of things, but I can't remember, because it was a while back when he told me I think he's from Canada. Okay. I don't know what this is. Maybe this is what we saw earlier. Vanguard. I've also never opened Vanguard. This is a starter deck for Vanguard. If I ever play that, I mean we got some starter decks ready to go. So maybe that's what that little character was from. All right. We have a, what is inside? More cards. Okay. This looks like it is not commons, which is pretty exciting. Let's see what we'll be in this box. Okay. Blackwing, Armor Master. We got the, all right. This is blackwing stuff. So that's cool. Legendary, Six Samurai, Fusion, Destiny. That's a good card. Just got reprinted as it only an ultimate though. So not too bad. We got a Formula Synchron, Loki. This is some good stuff. Okay. A lot of Synchro cards. A lot of Formula Synchron's for sure. The Coral Dragon, cool. Blue-Eye Spirit Dragon, Brianak. Got the Clear Wing, the Black Rose. The Moonlight Dragons are actually pretty decent. And okay. Wow. This is a lot of cool stuff. This is definitely good for sure. Another Moonlight, Berserker. We got Junk Gardner. We got Jet Warrior. Stardust Assault, Scrapped Twin Dragon, Vulcan. Yeah. All kinds of good stuff in here. Shooting Star Dragon, Red and Super Nova Dragon. Where's that from? Oh, that's from a tin. I forgot there was a Nitro Warrior. Sideframe Lardo. Omega, the Vermillion Mac from Dual Links. There we go, Void Ogre. Okay. Overall, a lot of cool Synchro stuff in here. We have more decks. What will be inside this one? This one appears to be common. So, okay, except that was a blue, or not a blue-eyes. Curse of Dragon, Different Garden. Some Pokemon. I don't know too much about these just regular holos, so I don't think they're gonna be too valuable or anything. These are from Celebration. So yeah, these are not gonna be too crazy, but they are cool. Oh, something that we really love. We have Legendary Collection too. So at this point, I think $200 is already the deal of a lifetime. Basically, I think he wanted to give us an awesome deal on this. That's what it seems like at this point, because he was like, I know this is more than $200. So once again, this is from Tony. Tony, I appreciate this deal of a lifetime. You guys know we love opening those Legendary Collections. This one has been open, though. So we're gonna be opening that other one at some point, a different video. This one has two booster boxes. What's inside? More packs? Okay, let's see. We have a dual-less pack crow. Whoa, more booster packs. All right, oh, it looks like he had an entire box of crow at some point. That's actually really cool. So at the top, it's like a resealed box.  Oh, Metal Raider's cool. And then a bunch of crow, which is actually, that'll be fun to open at some point, I think. The other side, it's the same. A couple of Pharaoh Servant, and then crow packs. That's really exciting, actually, to open those up. So these are not open yet, which is pretty exciting. I'm pretty sure that I've said exciting way too many times. Oh my goodness, legacy packs.  This is the deal of a lifetime. Legitimately, this is awesome.  You know that I love these, for sure. Those are definitely gonna be open on a video. There's still a lot more to go. There's a bunch of commons, which is pretty cool.  We have more Vanguard. So at this point, I'm like a Vanguard expert. I have four different decks that I could play. I don't know how, if you need like three of them like in Yu-Gi-Oh, or I don't know how Vanguard works at all, to be honest. We have another deck box. This one has more foils inside. Oh look, my old logo. If you guys are more of an OG fan, then you remember when this was my profile picture for my channel on YouTube. Oh wow, Rod Stratos. Oh wow, that's some good cards right off the bat. Gladiator Beast is very cool. Sly for the Sky Dragon Secret Rare, love to see that. Gladiator Beast, we got some Summon Skulls. These are not hollow, but they are Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, which is cool. The Ruby Carbuncle is cool. Rainbow Dark Dragon, a three Stratos. Okay, Elemental Hero Ocean, that's actually nice. The jump version, Woodsman. This card's actually pretty valuable, this prodigy. I realized that because of medicine format. Necro Garnesee Greres are cool and the alias. Okay, yeah, this is already like insane. This is already insane. I don't even know. I need to talk with them like, bro, why you only want $200 for this? Cause this is like a pretty cool collection. Okay, Dark Magician, Cyberstein, very cool. Lot of just different versions of Dark Magician. There's the ultimate rares, which are really cool. Those are, that's a first add. First add in an unlimited. We're struggling. Cypher, I'm here. Gamma, Exodia, Flounderies and Rabina. Photon Orbital. We got Exodia in here, pretty cool. Got the tokens, the left arm, the right leg, the right arm, all that stuff. And Battle Fader, very nice. I just found this. It was like in the middle. I think it fell off where it's supposed to be. There could be a ghost hiding in this collection. There's a ghost somewhere in here. We gotta keep looking. Hopefully it's not in the comments, cause then we're just gonna have to search for everything. Hopefully it's in one of these. Okay, this is more nice stuff. So a smiley face box. All right, Ginzo Layered, Blue Eyes, Red Eyes. We've got the Reddy Fusion. That's a good card. Rygeki, Allure of Darkness, Parallel to, I forgot about this. This is a Duel Links card in some decks back in the day. Totally forgot about that one. That's cool. Pot of Desires, which is now at one for some reason. Okay, Super Poly. We've got Brandon Red. Smashing Ground, we got Cyber Load Fusion. All right, what else have we got? Just a ton of epic stuff. Greater Polymerization is funny. Mass Change 2, oh, the Arkansas Razorbacks. There we go. Right before the tournament, we got Rygeki. Very nice. Speaking of the tournament, if you guys want to do a March Madness Bracket, check out my bracket that I posted on the YouTube community tab. You guys can join there and get in on the fun.  There's also a prize, a Yu-Gi-Oh prize, if you guys win. Okay, Synchro Blast for Bend Dress. So these are just some nice cards to have. There are common cards, but they're very nice. Okay, Allure of Darkness, that's cool. Put that up there. Pot of Duality, another Allure of Darkness. Okay, I'm pretty good. So all right, so far no ghosts. We're still looking. We ain't finding it. Let's see if we can find it in here. This looks like it might be commons. So this looks like Gladiator Beast stuff again. I can't shuffle through these. I got too many cards in my hand. There's the Kuribos. The Kuriboth, the Kuriboo, the Kuriboo again, okay. All right, just some of them, nevermind. And then we have some commons there. Those commons appear to be in nostalgic condition. What is this? All right, I've never seen this before, but this is in here. I don't know what this is. I don't know. Ooh, we have a sealed tin. This is the Jaden Yuki one. I can't remember what year this was. Like 2018, 2019, 2018. Okay, so 2018 Megaton, that's pretty fun. Hey, I actually needed some more of these. We have some more, whatever these things are called. Team bags, very nice. Another deck of Vanguard. I'm gonna become an expert. I'm telling you guys. Another figure, dude. This guy's gold though. Who is this? Let me know in the comments who these guys are. Ah, we have some actual Yu-Gi-Oh structured decks. Hero Strikes actually really cool. I was actually looking for this one the other day. That's actually pretty nice. A lot of elemental hero stuff. I think Dark Law's in here, right? As a super maybe. Or maybe it might even be a common. I don't know. So that's a cool one. And then of course the structured deck for the Sacred Beasts. Little bit worse, I would say. This one's really, really cool though. More characters. Wait, is this the moves from One Piece? Don't know spoilers. I'm gonna end episode 300, okay? They look completely different now, all right? How am I supposed to know? We got this guy. I don't know who that guy. He looks like a zombie kind of. We have more common cards, all right? Another deck box, let's see. I don't know, you know, sometimes they've been like foil. Sometimes they've not. This looks like partially foil. Let's pull out the foil part. Oh, there it is! The Ghost Trair, Majestic Red Dragon. Ooh, that is a pretty card. Okay, that, I think that's the Ghost Trair. Could be wrong, you never know, but. Unless there's, I mean, I know it's a Ghost Trair. There could be another one. I mean, I don't think there is because he teased a Ghost Trair. So I figured that is the one. But that's a good find. Good find, I like it. There's more box. We're gonna keep that Ghost Trair right there. That's like the perfect angle for it because it looks really nice. Wait, is this an invoked deck? Wait a second, wait a second. Or maybe it's just, oh, there's some invoked stuff. Okay, it might not be a deck, but wait, maybe it is. Shadal invoked, this is a full deck, I think. Yes, or at least a lot of a deck. Maybe it's just the support. Oh yeah, it's not a full deck. That's so cool. That's all like the core, basically, that you need. That's pretty nice. What else we got in here? Blade Ninja, Hierotic Dragon, Diamond Wolf. Number, whoa, that's a cool rarity. Like gold prismatic, that looks sick. All right, I've never seen that one. That's OCG. All right, very nice. Levee R the Sea Dragon, common. I wonder if that's worth anything. There's more Cyber Dragon stuff, nice. We're definitely gonna have to talk to him about this because like 200 bucks might be a little bit too low for all this stuff. That's all I'm gonna say. We're gonna have a discussion after this video. Okay, that's nice. Test Tiger, Bersentrix, Flamwing Man. Huyozanru, very cool. War Rocks, whoa, that's a good one. No, I'm just kidding. Okay, let's get through these because we have more to go. Like there's a lot of stuff in here. Let's see if we can find anything insane. So TG stuff, Valkyrie stuff, just a ton of cards in this thing. It's crazy. Okay, Card Trooper, Dragon Roid, Starving Venomway. There's the old Deep Sea Diva, nice. I needed that a while back, but I found some. The Drillfish, the TG stuff. Yeah, lots of TG stuff, very cool. The Yawwee, Yawwee, the Dometo, all right. Oh, we have an entire display of legendary duel of season one. All right, that's cool. Oh, look, another booster box, Dimensional Guardians. This might be like the worst set ever. I always see this set and I'm like, what is in this set? But I've never actually seen a booster box. This is actually pretty cool. This is probably when we keep sealed because it's not that interesting to open but it's actually kind of weird to see it as a sealed box. So I kind of like it. We have another box that is opened and it's gonna be, okay, this looks like it is actually Dawn of Majesty stuff. Oh, wait, no, no, it's not. Is there, I think it's all commons in here. So a lot of more commons, all right, nice. We're making a dent. There's still a few things left. Let's see what else we can find. We have a Barrel Dragon, Time Wizard of Tomorrow, Invoked Mechaba, nice, Chimeritech, Rampage, more Chimeritech stuff. Oh yeah, the Fortress is nice, Eternity Drag. Yeah, some good stuff in here for sure. Fright for Tiger, the Gaia. Oh, Absolute Zero, Ultra Rare, cool, Heroes Revenge. That's a nice version of it for Edison format. I think I'm using Super Edge right now. Great Tornado, Brave Nios, and the Shiny. Here's Johnny. All right, all right, Dark Gaia, yeah, Dianne. Oh, that's a pretty version of Dianne. Okay, is that the PRC one? Yeah, that's right. I think that's, yeah, that's in one of those ones where it was only probos in the tin or something like that. It was kind of weird back then. Uh, what else we got? Eldritch of Agil Lord, very cool. And Rainbow Nios, that was worth a lot as a comment until recently. We have another box here. Let's see what it can be. Wow, there is a ton of different stuff. Like, so much different stuff in terms of like cards. I guess this is, I don't know how these are organized, but it's just like a bunch of different stuff. That's the one we always thought was a Ghostry. I think this might just be Brothers of Legend. Is it? No, that's not Brothers of Legend. Okay, maybe not. I don't know. I don't know what it is. The Gorgonic Guardian, that was cool in Dual Links. And, ooh, the Super Dread, not Real Ken. I might actually need that for my Machina deck. What else we got in there? We've got Hierotic Dragon, Norito, not Naruto, Norito. Here's something I've never seen before. Okay, this looks to be mostly commons, but it's like a double deck box. That's pretty cool. Inside it is, yeah, more common stuff. Okay, I'm pretty cool. Cyber Dragon Core is nice. All right, all right. Still a few more things before we're done because there's just a ton. So this one looks like mostly commons and rares. Let's see if anything crazy. Blackwing Shura is a super rare. That's actually pretty cool. Koga made it. He's not doing in the Pokemon Gym Leader thing anymore, but now he's a Yu-Gi-Oh card. All right, that's funny. Okay, this is actually sick. More sleeves. So we have sleeves, and then we have unopened Dragon Shield sleeves, I think. That's nice. Okay, we can't complain about that. We got matte. I mean, those cost $7. That's not cheap for sleeves. We've got gold, very nice. And then a few other protector sleeves. That's actually really cool. We're getting down towards the end of this insanely massive box. Like a lot of quantity for sure. I mean, there's been some good stuff as well, but the quantity has been a lot. There's a lot of cards in here. Is there anything crazy in these Black Wings? Okay, it looks like Black Wings, Acres Attack, yep, definitely Black Wings. There's a Bleed, Bleed, Brees, whatever his name is. Okay, more Black Wings. The Fuma, cool. A lot of the legendary Six Samurai stuff. That's pretty cool as well. Definitely nice and fun to play that stuff. Karebo, all right. Anything else? This just looks kinda random. Scrapper Cycler, okay, nice. Snowpile, Hustle, Russell. Air Raider, yeah, there's the Mockiness Structure deck. I know that one. Look at this deck box. Cardfight Vanguard, looks pretty cool. Is there anything, this looks like, oh, not Supply Squad, get that outta here. Get it outta here. I can't even shovel through these. They look like commons.  Anything else, looks like more commons. So I think we're hitting most of the commons at the end. We'll see if there's anything else crazy in the last couple of things. Ah, Lucky here, we have a Guardian Chimera Wood Structure. Oh, Cyberdark, yeah, okay, that's the Cyber Dragon one. Okay, I was like, which one is this? Is that the, wait, is that the one with Impermanent? Is that the one? I'm not sure, I can't really remember. This actually has some Mechurdeck cards. Animant, nice. IP Masquerain is in here. Okay, that's pretty good. Very, very good stuff actually. And Black Sonic. Cool, that's actually not too bad. Face2FaceGames.com. Okay, I guess that's where that came from. Morphoils, Morphoils, Dark Magician. Back at it again, another Korean Dark Magician. Nice, Infinity Archfiend. I'm like, there's so much stuff in here. I'm getting like kind of sweaty, like just going through all. I'm part perspiring being under these lights for so long. Okay, good cards. There's the Machina of Citadel. Of course, the Structure Deck, back at it again. What's the rest of this stuff? More Cyberdark, more Blackwing. There's the Gales as super rare. Value is actually good for Edison. That's actually a pretty nice one. I think it's actually a little bit valuable. Cyber and Dragon, especially the Ulti. That's not the Ulti though. Live Twins, those are cool. Tribor Gate Kits, worth a little bit. I think Galaxy Soldier is a hero card, right? Or used with heroes. Another Magician's, the Magician's Rod came back. Start of Synchron. Hey, this is a cool card for Edison too. Wow, there's a lot of really cool cards here at the end. Stratos Ultra, that's pretty good. A lot of cool cards just showing up at the end. Wow, two more deck boxes and then a couple of cubes worth and then we have gone through everything for the most part. Solid Morning Super Air is nice. More warning, that's a common. There's a drowning, there's a Royal Decree. More warning, they're warning us. What are they warning us? Oh, Phoenix Swing Limblast. That's a nice Super Air printing of it. Okay, ooh, Naked Attack is so pretty. It's nostalgic as well. A Crush Card, very nice. And the final deck box before we get into the cubes and then we are completely through this entire crazy, just insane collection. I mean, definitely the deal of the lifetime for 200 bucks, that's for sure. Okay, and then more sleeves, okay, cool. All right, this one appears to be commons unless there's something in the last part, let's see. Which is, yeah, common. Just pull, yeah, okay, commons. And then the final cube, this one may be commons as well, but these are sleeves, so I'm guessing maybe not. All right, there is Parallel World Fusion. Okay, so there are some foils in here for sure. That's Crystal Beast stuff, Fly Kicker, Razor, Laser. A lot of black wing stuff in here. It's a big CMO fan over here. We got a Cyber Dragons. Cyber Dark Impact or Cyber Impact or whatever his name is. Honest, okay, more Cyber Dragons stuff. So Cyber Dragons and black wings seem to be a fan favorite over here. Then the end, we have the Curry Bowl. Nice, the Curry Bowl, the Curry Bee, the Curry Bourne, Curry Babylon, Curry Boo, yeah, there's the Curry Bows. Okay, Downerd, Magician, Beatrice, Dollhouse. Okay, I interrupted Kaiju Slumber. Let's see, we got some Injectors, okay, cool. All right, so pretty cool. Overall, a lot of awesome stuff. Guys, enjoy this video.

Hello and welcome to News Clicks International Roundup. Today we have with us Prabir Pukhar Yafsat discussed the recent developments in the ongoing tanker wars between Iran and the UK. So Gibraltar has announced that the release of the Iranian super tanker Grace one along with its crew which also includes 24 Indians. But UK has said this is only happening because Iran has given an assurance that this ship, that this tanker will not go to Syria to transport oil. Which was the original reason that UK had given for seizing this tanker. So the question still remains Prabir that UK had said this was in violation of EU sanctions. So can UK continue to impose EU sanctions extra-territorially on countries which are not members of EU, of the European Union? Is this, does this follow the UN Convention for the Law of Seas? Well if you take the UN Convention for the Law of Seas, tank laws as you are referring to then this says that you must allow any ship to pass through such straits, straits of Gibraltar is one of them even if it falls within your territorial waters. And if they have what is called innocent passage that means if they are not threatening you militarily, they are not spying on you or they are not disrupting your communications which all of you, all of which can be done from the sea. Then they have a right of innocent passage and you cannot impose your legal laws, your laws on such ships. Question is transit of oil. If you look at Iran, Iran is not a part of the European Union, it does not therefore come under EU law. Therefore to claim that EU sanctions should be applicable on any ship including an Iranian ship because it is passing through territorial waters of Gibraltar or it is provisioning in Gibraltar, both would be in violation of to my understanding the UN law of seas. Question is what happens if you know the EU, an interesting law of EU has never actually asked for external sanctions, this has been said by the by UK and EU never made a statement in support of the Caesar of grace one. So the argument is that it seems that this is shall we say a fig leaf of the UK to essentially let the grace one tanker go because they are now trying to bargain with Iran on the Stena Impero which is what the Iranians had seized and they are also looking at the issue that if the hostilities with Iran continue in terms of tit for tat, Caesar of tankers that is quite possible that the UK flagged ships will not be able to use the states of harbors, the UK has said we are going to deploy our ships and so on but I think that is going to be little difficult. So I think this is really the acceptance by the UK that the tanker wars have to cease. It still begs the question why did the seas grace one at all and I think on that the issue has become shall we say much more clear today with the what we saw in the courts of the in the states of Gibraltar or in Gibraltar court which is that various people had said the ship had been seized at the instructions of the United States specifically of Bolton the national security advisor. This is a NSA Bolton's game plan to have the ship seized they had been tracking it they had been informing Spain as well as UK and UK carried it out at a point of time when its government was much more worried about its majority in parliament the Brexit issue and the instability in the British shall we say prime ministerial choice that there was really no prime minister at that point of time. So therefore it seemed that somebody in the British chain of command took the decision and Britain really wanted to get out of it. So US came out finally into the open and did move in the court of Gibraltar for continuing the seizure of grace one and it seems that the court has not yet taken a final decision but has already released the crew has released the drop the charges against the captain the first officer and the two mates all of who are presumed are actually Indians and it is also given say more or less clear indication they let the ship go. So in this context the US shall we say filing demand in the court for continued seizure does bring US out to the open and also makes clear that they were the ones who really the mover behind the seizure of grace one. It is also interesting that they have not given publicly what are the reasons on which they are seeking a continuation of the seizure in the court. So that still remains but I think it is very now it is very clear it was sanctions against Iran which they were imposing and it is not EU sanctions as even what UK continues to claim. And the last is Iran has also now after the Panama withdrew its flag from the ship has now reflagged it as a Iranian vessel has also changed its name. So it is very clear that they were using other flags which of course 90% of ships do they do not fly under their owners flag even Stena Impero as you know is a Swedish vessel which is flying a British flag. So this is a very common practice a lot of the countries fly Panamanian flags and so on. So but at this time after the Panama deflagged grace one Iranians have now come out openly claiming the ship which they had earlier and also now flagging it as an Iranian vessel. And also the question is that why is Britain choosing to back off now because Iran has also in fact come out and said that it has not given any assurance to UK about not going to Syria and also not really confirming if it was in fact going to Syria and as you have mentioned US has also demanded custody of the ship. So why is UK doing this now? I think it is very clear that UK has read the writing on the wall that their ability to protect the their flagged ships from the states of Hormuz is not there. There are two indications of that. One is the fact that if you look at the naval strength yes Iranian navy is not very strong if you talk about a far away theater but if you are talking the states of Hormuz they have shore batteries, they have missiles, missile batteries, they have radar which can check or really identify which vessels are where and they have fast attack boats. So states of Hormuz they outgun anything that UK can produce. UK has a couple of aircraft carriers and some ships destroyers and so on but they cannot match Iran in states of Hormuz because with the missile strength that is there it is very clear that big aircraft carriers are at risk if they come close to that. You cannot protect your own shipping if you have to operate say 500 kilometers away from the shore. So given the states of Hormuz the very narrow channels which are there I do not think there is any possibility of Britain being able to protect its ships not with the kind of navy it has. Can the United States do it? Yes if they bring all the naval power together with their allies and basically seize the states of Hormuz which is what they will have to do which means really a limited war if not a much larger war against Iran because they have then to take out all the coastal batteries the missile batteries all of it and a lot of them are mobile batteries. So I think those are the calls that the US would have to do do they go into a limited or shall we say a war which can spiral out of control with Iran and certainly the UK's threat that they will bring in ships they will protect their shipping which are using their flags all of it was just bravado. The reality is the British flagships have deflagged and changed flags because they don't want to be caught into this Iran UK shall we say tank a war and they finally therefore I think UK has seen the writing on the wall that this is untenable this is something which is getting them into serious issues with Iran and the other part of it is also if you take the European Union's position to which UK is a party that United States pulling out of the JCPOA the nuclear agreement with Iran was a mistake US was wrong and they are very keen to have it continue so it didn't sit well that while it was arguing for continuation of the nuclear agreement with Iran on behalf of the European Union and the same time it was also pulling out of all of this and in fact playing the US game so I think it this has been something which the UK particularly now that it has a government it has a prime minister I think they are sort of taking a little more self-interest into account instead of listening to what a Mr Bolton might have been telling them and also with this move by the UK do we see a sort of change in policy towards Iran from countries in the region and if so then what does this leave the US with what sort of options does the US have now you see the US has been trying for some time to get an armada shall we say under its command of its allies the NATO of course the United Kingdom being one of the parties which seemed at one point willing to be a party to it given what was happening on the tanker wars but it's also clear that the recent meeting in Bahrain in which they got together to work out how they proceeded the states of Orboz and providing shall we say military or naval cover to the shipping over there hasn't really taken off not that we can see publicly what there has been any concrete decisions on that so I think European allies are also very wary of getting into a shall we say naval blockade of the states of Orboz equivalent of actually saying we'll give protection because that's really talking war it would be in the war with Iran because I don't think Iran will let the states of Orboz be controlled by the United States and its allies in this particular way so I think that's very clear seizure of territorial waters of Iran would lead to a war over there so given that I think the allies are backing off and is particularly true for what you said the region the Emiratis the United Arab Emirates have also read the writing on the wall they seem to be pulling out of Yemen alliance with Saudi Arabia they seem to have given Iran assurances that they are not a party to an alliance military alliance against Iran and they will stay out of such a fight so unlike Saudis they seem to be backing out of the alliance of the United States wanted to build against Iran so if you take the major elements of that alliance it was really of course the United States but it was also Saudis and Emiratis of course Israel is the big player in the region which behind completely this attack on Iran so if it becomes only Israel and the United States there is trouble Saudis are still with them but the Emiratis seems to have pulled out how long will the Saudis continue will they continue to fight the Houthis will they continue to try and win the war against Yemen which at the moment not only they don't have a chance but in Yemen there have been serious attacks against Saudis continuously on the rare fields of the industrial infrastructure and they don't seem to be able to stop it now the Emiratis have pulled out and even the southern front has and become more active because there is a formation over there which is seized now Aden so with all of this I think the anti-Iran coalition in the region is also in some disarray and people are now beginning to realize that blockade of Iran stopping its oil imports is not going to be painless for them as well because Iran has the capability of inflicting pain and the UK has seen that this is true they got their tanker seized they had the devil ship Montrose which is quite close to the tanker they are not in a position to stop it so I think increasingly realization is coming that this brink pan ship that the US is imposing has cost for them and I think that's a good sign whether it will lead to any change in the US policy that we have to see thank you for joining us today and that's all the time we have thank you for watching


Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I'm going to be reviewing the Melt Cosmetics Millennial Pink's eyeshadow palette. Another eyeshadow palette that's a Valentine's Day release, and I mean, hello, this is absolutely stunning. I look crazy right now because I'm just gonna be upfront. I had a really difficult time working with this palette, so I created a couple different looks just to really get to know the formula of this palette and just to really see where the insistencies lie. So this video did not exactly turn out how I expected, so make sure you stay tuned and let's just get right into the review. So I'm going to quickly go over the general details of this palette, kind of how it swatched for me, and then I want to get straight into the demo so you can just kind of see what happened with this, basically. Why I have two different looks on, why I look like a crazy person. Anyways, this is the Millennial Pink's palette from Melt Cosmetics. It's available right now on the Melt Cosmetics website, as well as the Sephora website. I purchased this from Sephora in stores this weekend. It is $58. It is an eyeshadow palette with a refreshing combination of pinks and modern greys, and as far as the packaging goes, comes with this really sleek rectangle with a little bit of a textured front and it says Millennial Pink's very slim, very chic. I really do enjoy this packaging. You have a mirror when you open it up and then you reveal the 10 shades. I really like the layout of this palette. You have the pinky shades over here and then you have your very cool toned gray shades over here. I think it's an interesting mix to have these three kind of random, but also I think it adds a really cool vibe to this palette. I love that you can get all pink and then I love that you can go for a whole different vibe on the other side. So even though these aren't colors that I necessarily would go for the most, I do really enjoy this palette altogether. I think it's a kind of, I think it's a neat concept. Not something I'm super excited by because I definitely own all three of these colors and I love a good monochromatic palette. I would have loved for them to have kept that theme or added some purples or something to make it more fun just because I feel like so many people have so many greys and silvers and black. But other than that, it's a gorgeous palette. That's why I bought it. I was really, really excited for it. And by the way, it is made in the USA really quickly. I do want to talk about the swatches with you guys. So what I noticed when I swatched was that all of the matte shades definitely felt very smooth and silky. They swatched very pretty. The only thing I noticed was that the color kind of changes on your arm. It just doesn't quite look like what it does in the pan. And I also noticed that there was an inconsistency in the shade itself and sometimes with those matte shades. Sometimes it would look light and then sometimes it wouldn't. There is a slight sheen in these mattes, which I think that might be what it is and why I'm noticing that color change. But I noticed it on my eyelids as well. But I think a lot of times with mattes, they'll add a little bit of silkiness and sheen to it to make it blend easier. So just something that I noticed as far as the shimmers go. As you can see, they are very, very soft. A lot of them are iridescent or they have like kind of a more lid topper kind of formula. I'm honestly very disappointed by this. I feel like there isn't a good shimmer in this palette and you'll see what I mean when I get into the demos. But yeah, just be aware that the five shimmers that are in this palette, not one is a really strong pigmented color. They're all kind of iridescent or sheer or more of a lid topper kind of formula. And I think that's fine. I like that type of formula, but for it to be in every single one of the shimmers in here is quite disappointing for me. Also, when swatching, you kind of do have to press down and push it into the skin because their formula is also very flaky with these shimmer formulas.  I just want to get straight into the demo so you can kind of see what I am dealing with and what I'm talking about. So let's just get right into it. So I'm going to be honest right now, this eye I really struggled with. So I just laid down the makeup revolution conceal and define infinite concealer. This is their newest one. I'm going to show you what I did. So I'm starting off with pink leather right here.  Now instantly this applied much more Barbie pink light pink than I was expecting. I thought it would show up a little bit deeper on my skin tone, but honestly not that big of a deal. Okay, that's fine. So I'm just going to blend this all over. I feel like there is a little bit like weird inconsistencies in this color like right here. It looks white, but it looks darker out here. Kind of, I don't know, oxidation or something strange. I mean, it's not a bad color. It's fine and blended on. It's just not the color I was expecting to deepen. I'm going in with flamingo dream right here. And as you can see, this color is super duper bright, very pigmented, really fun color. And it is blending out pretty evenly as well and nice and easy for depth. We're using modern love. This color is also fine. It blends out nice and easily. I'm not really struggling with it. We blend all of this. So as far as the mask go, I mean, they're fine. I didn't have any issues with them. I didn't think they were special by any means, but here's where I feel like things kind of went down here with this eye. So I'm starting off with ruby star right here. And I put it on my finger and I was like, whoa, like this is about to be really incredible, super reflective. It looks super pigmented. Pay close attention. So I don't know if you can see that, but this shadow is a chunky mess. So the amount of fallout I'm getting, it's going everywhere. It's not sticking to my eyelid. I like trying to kind of press it down. And there's no pigmentation underneath the sparkles. It's just not a good shadow, not easy to work with. If you are looking to keep this palette and kind of aid this issue, glitter glue and using your shadow wet is going to help. But there's no reason for me to have just blended that and it all fell down here and went away. So that's when I was like, uh-oh. Next, I'm moving into mixed emotions right here. The shade on the finger seems to be a bit more like of an iridescent shade. And this shade is not quite as chunky as ruby star. However, I don't know if you can see, but it's not really showing up on my lid. It's not sticking to my lid. You can see my lid through the shadow. It's like see-through. So again, not good. And I know a lot of people are going to say, we'll use the shadow wet. Personally, on my channel, I don't like using shadows wet for demos and trying to figure out the formula. Like any shadow you use, it's going to be better if you use it wet. But when you're paying $60 for a palette, I shouldn't have to use it wet to get it to work. So this is Rose Brunch and you can see it's lighter on the finger. I'm going to put that in this space. Now this shade is better than the previous two in that it's actually like sticking to my lid. But again, it's really, really sheer. I can see my lid through it. I'm taking some of pink noise and I actually use a brush to apply it just because that's my inner corner color. So look what happens when I pick up on a brush. Again, you're getting that weird like chunkiness. So when you tap it off, you get this nice iridescent color. But again, it's a really, really chunky color. Okay, so I'm going to take this off. I'm going to try a different route with this eye makeup, but it's now. So since my first experience with this palette was not good, I'm going to really play with these colors. So I'm going to do two different eye looks. So for this, I'm going to kind of retry some of those pinker colors. And then this eye, I want to play with the more cool tone side of the palette. So we're going to start off with some of pink leather and flamingo dream. And I'm going to blend these together. So I haven't had problems, these two colors. So so far, these are fine. So normally I don't like to do like two separate looks in a review video. That first look I did, I'm really worried. I really feel like I need to give these shadows a chance. And we're going to go more smoky here. We're going to go back into modern love right here. Again, another shade that hasn't given me difficulty. Run this down here. And let's get back into playing with these shimmer colors. So I'm going to completely bypass ruby star. The shadow is literally terrible. And we're going to retry mixed emotions and rose a brunch. So I'm going to take some of mixed emotions and we're going to see how this looks with a brush. I felt like big ruby star took over the whole show in the last looks. I want to see how this looks alone. So no, this just doesn't look good. Do you guys see that's just not a smooth application at all? It's like chunky and patching up and wiping away. So I mean, when I'm punching it in with a finger, it's not as like chunky anymore. And if you take a step back, like that's a pretty look, but this is not a good quality shadow guys. Okay, we're going to try rose a brunch again. I mean, same thing in that it's like sheer and patchy kind of honestly looks the same as mixed emotions as well. And honestly, it's literally like almost the exact same shadow as mixed emotions. Just a little bit more reflective. I'm going to take some of pink pink noise. I'm going to pat this in here. So I mean overall, like this is a pretty nice soft look, but these shadows are not good quality.  Maybe see if we can make something work. I did not anticipate this review to go this way. So I have not yet used these last three shadows. So this look is about to be dark. I'm going to take just a little bit of pink leather though to kind of work as a transition, kind of tie it along with the theme that we have going on here. Okay, let me back up. I'm going to take GF right here. I'm going to take it on a fluffy brush. I'm not expecting to have problems with this color. Just get ready for an intense look. I'm going to kind of blend this out with another brush. This is one of the brushes I used for the pinks over here. We're just going to blend that gray out. It's kind of creating with that pink a little bit more of a purpley eye, which I kind of like, like it's turning the color almost periwinkle. Dark shadows like this are very intimidating. I feel like this is doing an okay job. And now we're going to mix in euphoria right here, which is the black. I'm going to put that right in the outer corner. Oh, that's quite black. Oh my gosh, that is really, really, really black. This is the type of black that I wouldn't use to like smoke out a look because it's almost too black, too intimidating, but I would most definitely use it for eyeliner. Holy black out. All right, now we're going to take some of moon glow. I'm nervous to see how this shadow, this is pretty. It's almost still like more of a lid topper, I would say. And it does have that weird glittery sheer formula. In this particular case, it works like I think it's actually kind of pretty. It's not like a good silver shadow though. This is pretty. It's a pretty lid topper. I like it with this look. It creates a really pretty galactic look. But again, this shimmer formula, it's just not that good. So I'm going to finish these eyes and I'll be back with my final thoughts on this palette. All right, so I'm back. As you can see, I didn't even play around with fake lashes or anything.  I just don't think that it is worth the money. Now I have to admit, I am really loving this eye look specifically. I think both individually, they look fine and this eye in particular is absolutely stunning. But there are 10 shades in this palette and these three working great does not justify the $60 price that it is. Something that I would like to note because I did just fill my swatches and I kind of touched on this in the demos that I noticed like the matte shadows it almost looked like when I applied it, they got lighter or they were darker in some places. Some parts were like oxidizing. I don't want to say patchy because there wasn't a problem as far as the mattes go with like my skin showing through and some parts disappearing. It was more so it looked like the mattes themselves were kind of different shades on the lid. And you can even tell, I don't know, you can see, but as I was swatching, I really felt like I could see it kind of showing up different colors in the pan. Do you see how I swatch it and it gets lighter? And then I felt like as I was swatching them on my arm, I did notice that slight color change that I noticed when I was applying on my eyes. But I just thought it was just a me problem when I was applying on the eyes. But no, like that was happening while I was swatching as well on my arms. So I mean overall, I would say though that the mattes work pretty good in this palette in particular the euphoria shade, that black shade. It is so black on your eyes and it's not too difficult to work with. But generally speaking, I do like the mattes. I feel like these two especially show up a little bit more different on your eyes than in the pan. They almost show up more brighter and pigmented, which is great. But it's just a little bit of a different shade and just that weird slight thing that I noticed. But I don't think it's that noticeable since I'm the person applying it. That's why I notice it. But the shimmers in here are just not there. The only one that I really like is Moonglow and the silver because I mean, honestly, it is stunning. But there is not a shimmer in here that is consistently even and pigmented on the eyelid. They're all that kind of iridescent sheer glitter formula. But it's not even done that well. The only one that I would argue that is done well is Moonglow. And then you have these three shades, which are more iridescent kind of shades. But it's not necessary to have 30% of the palette be an iridescent lid hopper kind of shade. You need some pigmentation within the shimmers as well. And I'm all for a glittery lid topper, but I just, it's an odd mixture for a palette. It makes it incomplete and more difficult to make a look. And this Ruby Star color is just flake city. It is not good. And even these three shades, honestly, are kind of flaky. They're just not as flaky as Ruby Star, but no, like this palette is not good. I can't recommend it to you guys. I'm not saying that you can't get pretty looks with it. But personally, I just don't think it's worth all of the fuss of getting to apply it for $60. There are so many better palettes that have come out for this time of year that just work better and apply better. And I don't know, honestly, I really can't recommend this to anybody. I'm sure there are some of you that purchased it and really enjoyed it. And that's great. I really hope you do have a better experience than I did. But personally for my channel, I cannot recommend it for you guys. It's just not a good palette. The proof is in the pudding. You saw what I was working with. They have other great palettes. That's what I am so confused by, like the Smoke Sessions palette and the Gemini palette. Those are great. The shimmers do not work. Like these are feel like our whole different formula and they just didn't do a good job with it. Sorry, guys. It was such a negative review, but I just have to be honest. So thank you guys so much for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed it and I really hope you found it helpful. If you've purchased this palette, let me know if you've had the same struggles that I have. Or if you've really enjoyed it and what works for you as far as application.
