It was just a short stop at home back to work This trip is gonna be a little sad because I don't got diesel with me. I Know I know you can turn away from the video if you want I know you're just here to see diesel and Chevy and Frank You got none of them for the next couple of days on my channel You want to see him you can go over to my wife's channel reds beat It's down below in the description below this video.  So I don't want to deal with that again. I Left diesel at home with his brothers and his mom She's got lots of family around them, right? I He'll probably have a blast Stuff set up here. I can actually have my bed set up the whole time now and it'll stay clean It'll be so weird It's a really cold morning again Not as cold as it has been but it's cold minus 26 or so. I think I went down to minus 27 this last night But the rest of the week is supposed to start warming up and we're at the tail end of the deep freeze of winter here in Manitoba anyways This is the last week Proximately of our cold cold weather. It's already starting to warm up like it's not minus 35 anymore That's minus 25 and Next week should be even warmer as we approach March and then spring is on the way just around the corner So we made it through winter guys. We made it through the worst of it Of course, I'm getting every light red and heading late here Just fuel up at the flying J. I Like fuel up there because I get points there. I'm saving up save it up with points It's supposed to be a scale up ahead here from what I've heard It's closed or there's supposed to be a closed scale. I should say I know there's a scale Just outside of town and then it's pretty much just boring prairies all day today and tomorrow So you guys know what that means you got to put up with my boring voice talking about nothing Not much to see out here But then again those of you who aren't from the prairies or Midwest of the US you may not see flatlands like this every day So maybe it's interesting to you. I don't know You can see your dog run away for three days. That's both the most Cool thing about this region It's cold a lot of farming a lot of oil Outwest the western prairies a lot of oil. Well, there's a lot of oil just sitting there waiting to be used It's not really being Dug up right now There's 16,000 jobs in Alberta lost in January alone 16,000 from the reports That's all oil field jobs because they're Just hurting out there. That's why that convoy is in Ottawa right now There's so many people losing their jobs and families not being able to supply food for their kids It's getting real bad for them out there And the load I have on me right now these steel plates, they're going to the oil fields as well One of the few ones that are still operating Here's the scale and it is closed And a closed scale is a good scale They're the best ones everybody says it everybody knows it the closed scales are the best scales believe me Well, we stopped in at Moosamine didn't get my regular Timmy's there, but back on the road I got a co-op coffee back on the road and something's going on here. Look at this Flashing lights and remember flashing lights in the province of Saskatchewan You are required by law to slow down to 60 kilometers an hour or Just below 40 miles an hour. I don't know what's going on. Oh, there's a truck in the ditch. There's a truck in the ditch This is highway patrol a peace officer Saskatchewan highway patrol all same thing. Okay Well, somebody that's not where you were supposed to bring the pigs buddy Whoops the bacon is gonna get all cold there I guess it's gonna be even colder once it gets into my fridge in my freezer So So I have another What do I got eight hours to go to my destination? I'm not gonna make it quite all the way there today I have a reload in the city of Edmonton. That's taking me back to Winnipeg The load is actually going down to Iowa, but I'm gonna take it to Winnipeg and another driver is gonna take it from there I need to go home. This truck needs a little bit of work again I know right again. It's got to go back into the shop.  Simply simply put has a crack in it and when you pour oil down there It's supposed to go into the engine, right? Well, it goes on to the ground for me. That's not good for the earth Not good for my pocketbook either because that's wasted oil on the ground It's no good to me on the ground It has a crack in the oil feed line so I need to get that replaced and taking it to the shop in Steinback where I like to go and Getting that replaced. I also have a Hum coming out of my front driver side steer tire. I don't mean here it or not You have to sort of know what the truck sounds like to here. There it is No one sounds like rushing wind, but I know my truck. That's not wind gushing over the truck gushing over brushing over That's my wheel hub or my wheel bearing. I think I think so I need to get a mechanic to look at that I think what happened is when I delivered my last load into BC that load of glass To get into their yard. They didn't have a proper driveway built yet It was still just like a curve up. They hadn't like You know made it a driveway, but that's the only way to get in there and I hit the curb pretty lightly I didn't I didn't rock it myself over the curb But I guess I hit it just a little too fast like a little bit. I don't know when I hit it. I heard a click And ever since then I've had this humming noise that I feel is getting louder. I don't know if it's just in my head or not So they've got to take a look at that. I've just replaced that wheel hub, too And if it broke again, it's a waste of $900 Fixed it again. And what else is wrong? Oh, yeah, my steering wheel is not lined up I don't know if that's connected to that wheel issue, but I Steering alignment on my steering wheel here isn't lined up. So I'm hoping they can fix that Feels like I'm making a left turn all the time, but I'm going straight So my truck's got to go into the shop on Monday So I want to be home. So I'll pick up the low Thursday morning in Edmonton. I'll be home Friday midday Saturday we're doing our donation. I know I thought it was last Saturday I know I told you it was last Saturday. I made a mistake and I think I forgot to even clarify that with you guys But maybe you know already because I'll probably release a video sooner than this that we're doing our donation From leftovers from Frankie's surgery or fundraiser. We did Promise to donate that and we're giving it to in a donation to shelter in Winnipeg and Manitoba that helps dogs find homes pretty much I believe they find stray dogs from up north and they bring them to the city and Try to find a good home for them and they need food and playpans and toys So we're bringing them a whole pickup bed full of food and Britt's vehicle is full of toys Excuse me. I'm spitting excited full of toys and stuff. So we're doing that on Saturday on Sunday I believe we wanted to go visit my sister who was involved in that accident recently And on Monday this truck's going into the shop and Tuesday. I wanted to do nothing I just wanted to sit, but I don't know if that's gonna happen. I might have to go back to work then And Boom found a spot here in sasca. Don't just catch one. We're staying here at the flying J It's just on the other side of town from the gym Did a pretty good workout today. I think I got a hour of walking in burn a little over 300 calories What else is I gonna tell you? I? Did the rolling hills route again, so The the treadmill acts as if you're on hills right so it'll go on more of an incline go down You guys know how they work right so I did an hour of that and then I did some back Exercises before I left the gym and now we're here and I am ready to sleep one thing I like about getting back into working out regularly is that when it's time for bed It's time for bed and I'm ready to sleep There is no Tossing and turning rolling around because I can't sleep. No my body is tired The hard part is getting up in the morning because that's usually when I'm the most sore right But I'm getting used to it eventually. It won't be that bad anymore, but thanks for watching today Glad you're here Otherwise, I'd be all alone. I don't even have weasel here with me It's just an empty bed there. Can you see it here? Let's turn this light on here. Oh Oh, oh, oh see it's just an empty bed But it's a clean empty bed That's something that's not usual right you got dog hair all over by now This would be a clean trip tomorrow. I have to deliver this load around midday I made my appointment for noon, but I'm gonna try to be there for 11 I did that on purpose because I want to be there early I would rather be there an hour early and surprise them then be there an hour late and surprise them And from there I got ahead to Edmonton on Thursday morning or the next morning We have to load a load of lumber that's taking me home. I Have to get home for this weekend. I was telling you earlier. We're doing this donation Sort of like a food drive.  It's gonna be a couple of thousand Well, I wish money to be I haven't even looked at the numbers yet. We've been We haven't been putting this off. We've just been waiting for an opportunity when they can accept the donation and Also when I'm home at the same time that they can accept it. That's why it's taking so long But we're gonna make a whole special video explaining everything. I promise I know I've been saying that for like a month already, but it is coming It is coming We're doing it this Saturday and that's why I got to go straight home from Edmonton with a load of lumber That's just paying for my fuel pretty much But I promised I was gonna do this and we're gonna get it done and we're gonna take you guys along with us It's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be really cool to see the the looks on their face when they see how much It added up to and how big of a donation we can bring them I think we'll be pretty pleased with how much we can we can do so Like we said and we promised like that extra money That's not for us. That goes to help other dogs in need So thanks for watching. I think I already thank you. I'm gonna thank you one more time. Okay. Thank you for watching I hope you tune in tomorrow hit that subscribe button and hit that like button if you did like the video if you Didn't like the video hit the thumbs down button doesn't really matter to me If you engage with my video either way it helps me, I don't care the thumbs down help me just as much as a thumbs up It really doesn't do anything But I Had preferred if you did thumbs up. I like that one better Makes me feel nice thumbs down kind of makes me feel sad sometimes But actually you know what it doesn't really matter to me anymore It used to when I first started making videos I get a bunch of thumbs down on a video and I sort of had to learn from experience what topics to talk about what not to Talk about and sometimes I know That I'm getting into a topic. That's gonna get me a bunch of thumbs down, but It doesn't really affect me anymore because that's one thing YouTube has done for me It's really boosted my I guess self-confidence and self-esteem not to the point of where I'm super arrogant I don't ever want to get to that point, but it it it's gotten me to a point where You know, I believe what I believe and I say what I say and if people don't like it. That's okay That's okay. I never mean to offend people. I never mean to Getting people's faces and I know that so if they feel like I am targeting them or you know Trying to start stuff. I know that I'm not so it doesn't really bother me when they get all upset People can get upset if they want to and say whatever they want to I rarely monitor My comment sections. I always read them. I'm always down there reading your comments, but I rarely Remove comments usually only if they're like super super personal Insults to my to my family my wife sometimes I get a little protective depends what mood I'm in depends what the comment is but as a rule I let you I want you guys to say whatever you want to say down there I mean, I'd be pretty hypocritical if I would be an advocate for my own opinions and say my own opinions And then stop you from sharing yours because that's how I learn sometimes my opinions are wrong and by hearing opposite opinions I Can learn I'm at a point in my life where I've sort of Sort of dug in my roots of what I believe But it's still nice hearing Different opinions right it's always nice I always encourage people don't block that out of your life. Don't block out Don't get yourself in an echo chamber like Twitter Oh, I do not like Twitter because Twitter is filled with echo chambers People only follow people that they agree with and I think the same way they do and then they all follow each other They all like each other's tweets and they all retweet each other and they don't realize that they're in an echo chamber Try to get outside Your usual, you know your usual groups and Dive into what other people think I did that today I went on to Twitter and I went into a couple of echo chambers where I didn't belong who Believe me. I realized pretty quick that this was not my echo chamber that I was the oddball out And I stated what I believed and I left it there. They tore me apart and We'll try to you know through every insult and slander and buzzword in the book at me, but Hey, at least I know what they think I tried to challenge them on what they believe I didn't get any answers I just got a bunch of insults, but Hey makes me feel better about where I am because if all you got is insults to throw back at me I think I'm doing pretty good So once again, thanks for watching. I've been talking for too long again. I'll see you tomorrow


Hey, everybody welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast the newsroom for data center and telecom professionals I'm Jamie Scott Okita of JSA and we are live on the floor of ITW 2022 This is so incredible 15th year anniversary of ITW the room is hopping We're back live and in person and joining me today is Craig drink All the director of products and sales engineering over at horizon welcome Craig Thank you very much for having me. It's an honor. It's an honor and horizon has been breaking all sorts of news So much expansion going on but before we get to it Can we set the table a little bit and tell our viewers who may not already know a little bit about horizon? Sure horizon is a fiber-based data and internet service provider out of Columbus, Ohio And we serve Southeast Ohio all the way from Dayton to Steubenville, Ohio And we also serve a little bit into West Virginia and Indianapolis too When we sell data products and internet access and voice communications to serve enterprises and carrier customers Absolutely and again you are breaking all these headlines We're excited about all the news you guys have been rolling out Especially on major expansions to your pure fiber optic network in the Midwest So can you tell us a little bit about your recent announcements Your fiber to the home in nine new Ohio market Yes, it's very exciting. Obviously having fiber broadband connectivity to home is very important So we're developing those networks too to help people to do work from home or to get better education opportunities And when we build those fiber networks, it's also good for our other business customers and our carrier customers too So the network just increases density and provides service to everybody So well said so well said and continuing on your expansion run here Last year Horizon acquired Infinity Network, a pipeline from Indianapolis over to South Bend A really interesting route there. Can you tell us a little bit more about this acquisition Sure, it's a unique fiber route between Indianapolis and South Bend, Indiana And it actually extends all the way over to Chicago to the CERMAC internet hub And it's a 95% varied network so it's a lot more safer and it's a completely diverse network From most other carriers who go sort of a western route between Indianapolis and Chicago So it's very interesting. We got some customers with that network So we'll be taking care of them, but we're also going to light the network ourselves too With some very exciting dense wave division multiplexing networks And the newest speeds available like 400, 600 and 800 gigs So that's the top end of the spectrum for high-end needs We're very excited about that Oh, I just love that, the diversity, the security of that route DWDM, awesome awesome Tell us, in addition to the extended geographic reach You've been really building up your portfolio of services Particularly your VoiceConnect product. Can you tell us a little bit more? Sure, sure. Many of our customers, in addition to wanting data networks They said I buy all of my needs at the same time and voices It's still a product that people want to use, but they want to use it in a cloud In a unified communications manner So a couple of years ago we launched our unified communications product called VoiceConnect To help people do all the things they need to do Just that's the pandemic head It was very useful for people, we launched soft clients So they could work from home and be mobile And we added instant messaging and collaboration tools And this year we're going to continue to add to the product too With fact services and other services like business text messaging Even though it sounds all basic, everybody wants to do it And it helps deepen our relationships with the customers to solve their needs Yeah, you're really just solving right to the very desktop end of it, if you will Yes, just love it, love it Where can our viewers go who want to learn more? Our website of course is horizonconnects.com A special section called Business Fiber Solutions To be able to find out more about the data networks or the new cities we go to Or all of our products Just love that, horizonconnectswithanass.com Craig, thank you so much for your time Taking out a little bit of time here on your busy ITW day Appreciate you You're very welcome, thank you too And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcast As always, think green guys and happy networking


I am here. So hi everyone, I just would welcome to our presentation and we'll go through some of the geochemistry that our geochemistry analysis we did for a lost or empty scores. So a simple introduction, so geochemistry, what is the geochemistry? A simple definition, geochemistry is the using of analytical chemistry for geological or archaeological purpose. What we use here, there's a number of analytical methods that can be used. It depends on what you are looking for. So if you are looking for organic matter or an organic elemental composition. During this presentation, we're going to show you two case studies. Case one is score 19, the one in the photo. We're going to go through the chemistry of score 19, then how we linked these results together and to show the final reconstruction of score 19. The case study B is mainly score 1A, and in this case study only Alice is going to show you his excellent work, how he linked the density with the systemic data. Can we move to the next slide? So the analytical method that I use are two thermal analysis and libids analysis. For the thermal analysis, I use the thermographic analyzer. And the idea behind that is to calculate the percentage of organic material and carbonate through the core. The idea is simple is just to heat the sample as certain temperature, then you use the weight of the sample before and after heating to calculate these percentages. Why is that important is to distinguish between different internalization and different layers through the core. Libids analysis, a definition of libids, libids are the organic component that does not dissolve in water but they do in chemical solvents. For this, we use gas chromatography mass spectroscopy machine. It's a separation identification machine. It's a powerful machine. We can use it for separate the component and then identify them. Before we run the sample, they need to be prepared. So basically, we extract the libids by using mix between dichrolemethane and methanol. For this process, what we are looking for, we are looking for a specific component, our specific organic compounds known as biomarkers. These are a long-lived component that can be used to distinguish between different vegetation, aquatic vegetation or terrestrial vegetation. Next slide, please. So the example of the biomarkers that I used. The first one is normal alkene. As you see in the structure is just carbon and atoms. We're going to go in details in normal alkene in the next slide. Then we have ceteroles and fatty acid. Ceteroles are a complex compound that but they produce in different structure terrestrial vegetation and aquatic vegetation. While fatty acid, they usually the high number of carbon atoms via fatty acid found in terrestrial vegetation, while the low number of carbon fatty acid low found in the aquatic vegetation. Next, please. So the normal alkene. So the normal alkene is how we distinguish between different normal alkenes that found in these samples. So the carbon alkenes that has carbon atoms from 14 to 20 usually related to bacteria and algae, while the normal alkene with c21 and c25 are found in the aquatic vegetation, as you see in the first figure, while the one with carbon atoms from 27 to 31 found in the terrestrial vegetation, which is in figure two. However, some not some mostly of the samples they they are complex ones where you found the normal alkenes from 19 to 31. Here when we are we apply a proxy known as carbon preference index where we use the big areas to apply the equation that you see. Usually the terrestrial vegetation they give carbon preference index higher than four, while the marine vegetation gives carbon preference index lower than four. Next, please. So the results. So the result of the two methods that I I I just went through are are integrated here. So the organic percentage as you see showing that in the middle of the core there is a high increasing on the growth of increasing in the percentage of organic material. Also, there is one sample in carbonate and carbonate percentage that increase increased, which may indicate that there is different kinds of soil deposit in the middle of the core. So the final analysis, we could say that the first part of of core 19 marine vegetation are are dominated in in in the first core, while terrestrial vegetation dominated the middle of the middle of the core. However, there is also some samples they give marine vegetation to the end of the core is a merged aquatic vegetation. Those what the merged plants are those usually found in lake or rivers. So this is the end of my of my part and let's move to Alex. Thank you very much, Muhammad. I'm going to take you through how we've used some x-ray fluorescence, so elemental data to help interpret the core. This data was collected on an eye track scanning XRF at Aberystwyth University. Approximately three meters of core was continuously analyzed to submit millimeter resolution. And this is important because this data set gives us a complete scan of the core. So we're not spot sampling up the core, we have a complete log so we can really start to put our finger on when events happen. Data gives us elemental abundances for about 21 elements. So at this very high resolution scanning, that's over a million data per core. It's a lot of data to play with. And we use this data to create chemical donations, a chemo stratigraphy to correlate between cores of possible and also help identify depositioned environments. We also get other data like continent rally scattering data off the core, which we can use to calculate relative densities and again help to link to seismic which I'll come to at the end of this talk. So I say we've got over a million data for year left 19. It's hard work to you know, how can we use it? What does it mean? And the way we do is a principal components analysis that's come on earlier in this conference. So what this does is takes all the different dimensions between these elements and depths and works out the main changes of it. So we've got component one along the bottom here and what you can see is that's really sulfur pulling it out along this axis as opposed to all these other elements. Component two is splitting up between these detritol minerals, silica, zirconium, rubidium, potassium, and titanium from more carbonate and organic driven elements like calcium, strontium, chlorine and bromine. But we want to get into a bit more detail. Let's say most of the variations coming on with the sulfur, this organic peak here. So we can look in our third and second and third principal components. This is our second major change in the data in the third. And this has really stuck and pulled out what's going on in the elemental data. We have rubidium, potassium, and titanium. So these elements are generally associated with different types of clay, our rillites, our smectites, our chlorites. We have bromine normally relating to salinity, strontium, calcium, and chlorine with our carbonate minerals, zirconium and silica and detritol zirconium quartz, our high energy deposition minerals, and sulfur in our organic material. So these are what we normally when we're doing chemostrictively expect elements to be associated with. And so what we can do is start to produce logs down each course. This is a three meters of core. This is silica over rubidium plotted up. So quartz over clay minerals. So as you go this way, you get higher energy deposits, this way lower energy deposits. So your sands will be up here, silks, and clays. This is all relative though. So, you know, we've got to be a bit careful as driving these names. We have carbonate over rubidium. So calcium over rubidium, which is our carbonate over clay proxy. Again, as you come this way, you get an increase in carbonate. And you can see this big spike in carbonate in the middle of the core. Sulfur rubidium is our organic proxy, again, increasing nicely and then dropping off down core. And bromine titanium is actually one of the ratio I've not used before, but came up in this study and I found it in the literature. We think it's a salinity index within wetlands. So we can see it's moderate hit spikes up here going to come on to the way we're not really going to consider that spike and then drops off at the bottom of the core. One thing I've shown some elements sediments are complex materials I've got different minerals in. And I've said look silica is in the courts, but we know the silica in every alumino silica. So it's in place as well. So how can we be sure that what I've told you is actually true and what I've got here is true? Luckily within the ALF study, we've got all sorts of other proxies to look at. So this is just core logging data down the core. So we've got different groups, medium sand, fine sand, sand down to the silts here. And what I've done is I've averaged these elemental data up for each of these observed data. And what you can see is in the sands and the silts, we've got higher levels of silica and zirconium are coarsed at minerals. Whereas in the finer sands and the silts and the clays, we've got higher levels of rubidium and potassium. So our clay minerals. So this has given confidence that what we're doing is correct. We've also got Mohammed's excellent data set. And what I've done here is plotted his organic data up against our organic proxy. And what you can see is this beautiful fit between data sets, giving us extreme confidence in this data. The same is true with our carbonate proxy and Mohammed's carbonate data. You can see that because one big spike in carbonate is coming on really nicely with our carbonate proxy as well. So from this, we've actually, we can produce a chemo stratigraphy. And this is split into six chemo units going down the core, one at the top. So chemo unit one is it made up of interbedded silts and clays with moderate wet and salinity. Chemo unit two is dropping off into a clay rich unit with decreasing organic material going down core and slightly higher saline conditions. We've then got a very sharp rows of break before we get into our unit C3, which is made of a lot of sandy carbonate material with organic material in there. This then drops off some sandy low carbonate material with decreasing organics, a clay rich silty unit of moderate organic material and low salinity and then a silty unit with very little organic and very low saline conditions. This is interpreted from the chemistry. Again, working in ELF, as you've seen, we have all sorts of other data. So I'm going to piggyback with all the talks you've seen today to show the use of chemistry. Again, just going through our main zones, moderately saline, sandy and then fresh water at the bottom. We have Mohammed's CPI data showing terrestrial biomarkers coming in in the center of the core. We have his lipid analysis and what you can see here is we're going from marine through to terrestrial organic material coming in where we're seeing our sands coming in through to this aquatic, so lacustrine fluvial material coming in with our low salinities. We've got Tom's diatom data again going from marine to fresh water over this break. We have the ecological data. So this is the rapid assessment work that Martin's talked about earlier from John. And again, these the ostracods and the fossils are showing us changing from marine through to fresh water, through to terrestrial through to fresh water deposition. Finally, as of yesterday, I've got Sam's Magsus data, which you've just seen again for this core. And again, you've seen it's dropping down at this point here where we're seeing our sands coming in before increasing at the bottom. So all these different data sets are chemistry or the organic material, the diatoms and ecological data all suggest we're going from marine to a terrestrial organic deposition environment to a fresh water environment. So again, this is just the organic material I'm talking about as terrestrial could well be a riverine environment. All these proxies agree really nicely with each other. It's great to see. Interestingly, we've got this little spike in the Magsus, which is occurring on this spike in the CPI and these little spikes in the chemistry. I only saw this yesterday. No idea what this means, but it's something we're going to look at in the future. There's also all the geocrinology that TIPM has taken you through today. We've got the OSL dates coming at about 5,000 to 6,000 years, and then the carbon 14 coming out to 9,000 to 10,000 years here. There's a break in ages here. So potentially, we've got a 3,000 million year-old conformity occurring on this sharp change in our grain size. Sharp changes in grain size normally mean an arose of surface. So again, more data agreeing with each other. So using all these data sets coming up with an integrated interpretation, at the top of our core, we have unit C1, esterine mudflats containing interbed silts and sands, low to moderate salinity, moderate organic material comprising marine vegetation of about 5,000 to 6,000 years of age. Unit C2, esterine mudflats, clay-rich material, so changing the detrital material, moderately saline again with organic material comprising marine vegetation. We have our own conformity. We then have a freshwater channel deposit comprising sand-rich carbonate material with terrestrial organic material coming in, quite large levels of organic material. Dropping down into a river or possibly lake deposit comprising a sandy layer, decreasing terrestrial organic material with depth, you can see that dropping down there. Then dropping into our lower two levels, I think that's probably the custrine due to it being clay-rich and low depositional energies comprising these finer silts or clays, terrestrial organic material. And then our bottom zone, C6, again, the custrine or potentially river or fluvial, comprising silty material, slightly sandy, you can see we've got slightly more sandy there, some interbeds in there, low levels of organic material and what it is, it's very little salinity with this emergent organic material. We can also though move into, that's analysing a single core and we want to get out from a single core into the surrounding area. So we're moving back to ELF1A, which has been talked about. Here is the Storega tsunami deposit. Here's increased amounts of both strontium, which is a shell material, and sand from the high energy deposit. And luckily for me, it's been, the seismic's been published again in this paper, Gaffnitol, and Simon's provided me with another line coming through it. And you can see there's a rose of unconformity in the base of the tsunami deposit cutting the core. This is our density curve, we've calculated from our Compton and Raleigh scattering data. And what you can see at this point here, we've got this big shift in density at the base of the core. But we've also got other smaller changes in density occurring throughout the core, coinciding with changes in the material within it. And this is important because you change the density, you change the sonic velocity of material through the core, so you get an acoustic impedance, you get a seismic reflector. And so this is just a cartoon to illustrate this, this is something I've mocked up, it's not been done by the seismic guys that might well hold their hand, you know, head in their hands when they see it. But what we've got is our big change in here coinciding with this in rose of unconformity. We have our other units that correspond really nicely with other reflectors within the package. So we can get away from a single cause worth of data and start to extrapolate out along the seismic line what we're seeing. And what we think at the top here, here's our C2 sands that I've just colored in there. We then have our C3 and our C4 chemical sands in here, these are silts and sands forming this area, are really quite small, actual tsunami deposit, underlined by clays and silts, and finally underlined by clays and interbeds. So by doing this, we've analyzed one tiny strip of about six inches through this bed that the seismic has enabled us to expand outside of it. So to conclude, it's been a whistle stop tour of it, but I've hopefully shown you how geochemical techniques are both powerful and flexible too for archaeological and paleo environmental analysis. We've shown over one million of geochemical data of different types of elemental, of lipid, of biomarkers and thermal data. And we've shown how these different geochemical data and other data agree, complement and build on each other. So that's elemental, the thermal, the biomarker, the geochronological, the ecological, and finally the magnetic susceptibility. They all agree really nicely in this call. We've shown how you can build these data up, produce a chemistotigraphy, identify chemical fashies, and then help identify the deposition environment of core ELF-19. Then switching over to core 1A, we've shown how we can use this geochemical data to directly tie it in with the seismic, help the understanding of what's causing the seismic reflectors and using these reflectors to identify sediment compositions away from the core interval. So many thanks for listening and many thanks to the team for getting me in. It's been great. Thank you very much, Alex, and Mohamed, together. Sue, if we have any questions from the attendees, please do write into the chat panel now. Everyone's wanting a cup of coffee. We are fighting a tea break, that's right. Personally, I've had that much tea and red bull today that I'm in danger of exploding if I take any more. Okay, so Richard asks, Richard Bates, how can the geochemistry be used for provenance analysis? That's something we do a lot of in our day-to-day job, so it's used throughout the oil industry and quarrying industry, all sorts of natural resources. And elements like, I've talked about zirconium, that's locked into the trital zircon, which we can use for provenance. Elements like titanium in other heavy minerals, like rutile. And the mineralogy of this material will change depending on what you're eroding into a system. So say if you're eroding a mafic body, it's going to have high levels of rutile, where if you're eroding in a felsic body, it'll have higher zirconium. So it can give us some ideas from that. But we can also actually analyze these materials themselves so we can carry out other analysis, such as heavy mineral analysis, or the trital zircon, uranium-ledge geochronology. So we can actually date these minerals so we can identify the age of the hint of land, the age of the unit, the shedding material, and also its composition. So from the chemistry we can get some idea, and then from this other techniques we can get increased ideas and really can pull apart the provenance of the area. That's great.


In this video, we'll talk about a family of foods that might be the most important of all for keeping our families healthy. Fruits and vegetables can be thought of as protecting foods, and they're so important that if they're available, they should make up about one half of each meal. Fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals that help protect mothers, children, and their families from infections that cause colds, stomach problems, and many other illnesses. Fruits and vegetables also protect our eyesight, they keep the heart strong, and they help keep the digestive system, or gut, working and healthy. Eating enough fruits and vegetables may even help prevent diseases like cancer. When the meals we eat are made up of approximately one half plant foods, combined with carbohydrate-rich energy foods and protein-rich building foods, we're more likely to feel good, stay healthy, and maintain a healthy weight. Examples of nutrient-rich vegetables are things like cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, beets, spinach, beans, squash like butternut squash, peas, onions, and broccoli. Vegetables cooked at home are almost always healthier than the vegetables in ready-made meals. Many vegetables don't even require cooking and can be eaten raw, like shredded carrots, cabbage, or tomatoes. Examples of nutrient-rich fruits are bananas, apples, oranges, peaches, mandarins, pears, grapes, melons, and pineapples. Fresh fruits are almost always healthier than canned fruits because they usually contain less sugar and many more vitamins. Fruits are the best kind of treats for children, and eating a fruit instead of a dessert is usually a better choice. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten every day if they're available. In fact, we should try and eat five portions of these foods each and every day if possible. The best way to get the most protection from fruits and vegetables is to eat a variety of these foods. Different colored fruits and vegetables contain different vitamins. Each of these vitamins has a special role in protecting our health. So try to eat like a rainbow with different colors of vegetables and fruits on your plate if you can get them. Even on a tight budget, fruits and vegetables should be a priority because they are so rich in nutrients. Raising a family can be lots of fun, especially when we all stay healthy, so we're able to enjoy our time together. Protect your health and the health of your family by eating a variety of protecting fruits and vegetables.

Hey guys, this is Hydra from Xtrades, and yeah for this video I'm just gonna be going over The most popular the most popular requested tickers for the week and then go over some tickers that I think are setting up pretty nicely That we should be watching for the weeks coming forward So first I'm just gonna go over the indexes of spy and QQQ. So we'll take a look at spy first So this week. It was pretty ugly week, right? We went Yeah, we touched We tried to break out actually we went all the way up to like four. Yeah, four ten when we close around 383 So not a great week So clearly the down trend has been broken this week and there's a lot of volume on so There's a lot of volume on this pullback, right? So I This is definitely not some typical pullback. This is more like This pullback pretty much killed the rally that we had right? We had a pretty nice rally starting from October and we were building up pretty nicely We had a solid uptrend and then this week. We just completely fell down Yeah, we just completely broke down and and we broke down on some On a rise in volume. So this is definitely not a good sign for bulls and Yeah, I think we should be looking for another move down lower to 360 level. I think that's very I think there's that's very likely and Yeah, so we did we did end up filling this gap here around 381 on last Friday. So that is We we did go all the way down to 381 and then we saw some buying coming So that could be a good sign for bulls Maybe there's 381 level holds and if so then there could be a long play if it can take 392 again So on watch for that, but right now this is looking pretty bearish for for Red days in a row. So it's getting a little bit extended here. So we might see some sort of bounce We could go all the way up to 391 and then get another rejection and then make another leg lower so yeah, that's pretty much what I'm watching on Spy and As I said last week we're still in a major downtrend and this week or the last week definitely confirmed that with a With the pretty ugly pullback So next up QQQ So QQQ is even weaker than spy like in terms of like for example spy rallied Spy rallied from 348 to all the way up to 410, right? That's 17.5 percent QQQ didn't even get that much QQQ got Yeah, QQQ got 16.3 percent, which isn't bad, but still relatively weak compared to this spy and Yeah, it's definitely not holding up well here Again for red days in a row and then we should be watching out for this gapville Gepo at 268 level so there's a good chance that QQQ can come all the way back down to this level and then we'll see if we can get a bounce off but again Big pullback rise in volume. So that's not a good sign for bulls and there's a good chance that yeah we're gonna retest this 268 level and Yeah, potentially we might see a bounce for like one or two days form some sort of bear flag and then Make the next leg down. But yeah, that's pretty much what I'm watching for both the spy and QQQ So next we'll go into some individual tickers. We'll take a look at Netflix first so Netflix had Netflix also broke down this week. So we were Netflix was actually acting really well the last couple weeks It was tightening up getting tighter Testing this 331 level which was a key resistance level So we tested that and then we rejected and then we actually gap down on Thursday And on Friday was just pretty much a consolidation day So unless unless we get above this trend line again And it could be something that you want to watch out for like on the long side Take out this 331 level tighten up then that would be a very good long play But right now it's setting up more to be a short play So if it takes out this 286 level or you can even look at this 280 level that's a major support level if it takes that out Then there's a good chance that this could go much much lower and potentially even visit 247 But yeah right now. I'm I would say Netflix looks a lot more bearish than bullish Next up Tesla So for Tesla here Tesla is clearly in again major downtrend, right? It's been going lower and lower for weeks now. It went from all the way up to 314 to 150 in just in just three months. Yeah. Yeah on three months So this already had a really big pullback and now we're at a key support level, which is 150 I think there's a good chance this level can hold not sure how long it can hold for but I think we should at least get a bounce back to like one sixties Yeah, I think I think there's a good chance that we'll get a bounce Maybe back all the way up to back to 166 at best But Tesla's definitely very weak right now. Look at that volume, right? a lot of yeah, definitely a lot of selling happened last week and Elon selling definitely is not helping the company at all and right now it's just yeah right now It's just not in a good spot and it's very weak one of the weakest big cap names And yeah, it's just something that you don't want to touch right now trying to Catch the bottom of this. It's like trying to catch a night falling. So it's just way too risky and there's better places to Put your money if you're trying to find the reversal play or a long set up Next up we can take a look at Nvidia So Nvidia has been in bottom all the way back in October and it's been building a pretty nice uptrend But just you know just recently or just yeah just last Friday it broke the downtrend We'll see if we can get a bounce back up. All right now. It's not looking too great And video is still one of the strongest stocks compared to like the other big cap name So this name's still holding up pretty well. It has a pretty solid uptrend I think there's a good chance that we can bounce next week There's definitely some resistance at this 173 level Maybe we can a bounce all the way back up there and then we'll see what happens, right? I think there's a good chance that we continue pulling back Just because the market is so weak right now, but we'll see what happens and media is one of the strongest stocks though Next up we'll take a look at M RNA so M RNA. Yeah, this stocks had a really really nice week So first up, there's this major base, right? It's been building out since all the way back in March this year. So it's been trying to break out Here tried to break out here, but failed tried to break out here But now it was consolidating and then finally made a really big breakout move on huge volume, right? So this is this was an A plus setup. This was it's been consolidating for nine months Tried to break this resistance many times but failed and it finally broke through with big volume So this is like the definition of like a great chart, right? This is exactly what you want to see and this there's a good chance that this can go a lot higher Right, it has the volume it has it has all the characteristics of a big winner And it's one that I'm definitely keeping on watch. So right now it's pulling. It's building the low flag here On Friday pulled back in a bit too much for like a proper bull flag. You don't want to see Yeah, you just don't want to see stocks pulling back that much on one day So pulled back like six percent six to seven percent that's fine though as long as we consolidate and Yeah, we as long as we consolidate and hold this one 87 level I think it's fine and there's a good chance that this dog can see a leg Leg up higher. So, you know, we'll see what happens But this is one of the one of the better stocks in the market right now for sure Next up So this is also another name that's been holding up really well. So like MRNA this one's been building a nice base since August and then it broke out Early November time. So This one already did break out and I was just consolidating right after a solid move. So right now I'm just looking for this five potentially Potentially, it's yeah, it can see a it can break out here right now It's building a flag here. It's tightening up and potentially next week or in a couple of days that we can see a breakout move But key level key psychological level is gonna be a hundred years So we want to see that get taken out and if that gets taken out, there's a good chance We can go up to the next resistance level was just 108 But yeah, this one's definitely on watch just because it's been holding up really nice compared to all the other stocks out there So I think this one has potential And then last one for today So this stock is insanely strong, right? There's not a lot of stocks in the market. I look at this right now There's not a lot of charts that Look like this right now in the market. This stock is just insanely strong and I think there's a good chance that the stock can continue to build out or continue to Act strong and go a lot, right? So this one also has a really Had a really big pullback all the last year and this year now it's been consolidating since March again It's a really nice base here. And now it's just yeah, it's just getting ready to Completely blow right this one this one has potential to go exponential right Has all the characteristics really nice volume on this these updates Really? Yeah, it's just building out a nice flag right now. And yeah, this one just looks really good And next target for it for it would be Around this 8.83 level Another one at this 10.9 the 10.0 Or just you could find it up to 11 Then another one at 15 Another one at 16. So these are the key levels so far for a TME Yeah, like I said before it's just acting really well here Not a lot of stocks have had a really nice breakout and they're actually Continuing to hold so this continues to hold Tighten up and build the flag and then break out and there's a good chance this go a lot higher So this one's definitely on the watch list. But yeah, that's pretty much all I have for this week And yeah, I'm definitely leading more bearish than bullish For the market for the coming week. It's just a lot more signs that There's more weakness going on or there's more there's a lot more weakness in the markets right now And I don't think the alter in your favorite to try Try going for long setups currently so right now either send cash or look for short setups But yeah, that's pretty much all I have for you guys for this week. Yeah, thank you


All right. All right. I've stopped recording welcome to the August 18th version of the Minecraft have sync Michael is not here today. So Eric you want to kick us off? Yeah, sure So I had a couple things I do for marketing Some just graphics and stuff for for the ongoing marketing stuff But most of the time is I was working on the GUI. So I got the Common play GUI with with news done and sent that over to Aditya So we talked yesterday about You know color schemes and stuff for the different default news news channels we support so I marked all that up and then I Did a red line of the the layout so that you know, we can get things There's a couple tweets that he was making you know change in the You know the audio equalizer graphic and the placement of the the actual icons for the news QML Well, let's be called news when I call it like streaming or something But anyway, yeah, so that's all good to go So yeah, the idea there is that each each of those different You know Versions will have its own QML page to pull from and be slightly different They'll be 90% the same but it's just gonna have different icon layouts and then the bar at the bottom whether or not it can Actually be scruppable depends on you know if it's live or if it's you know if it's live It's not gonna be scruppable. Let's just say live across there and stuff like that Anyway, that's pretty good. That's picked over to Aditya and I'm back to the the other stuff so common query and The installer skills, so yeah, that's been me All right, Mr. Smith have notes so I Noticed today my volume skill gooey showed once Which was interesting for it actually like it looked like a circle that was pulsating, but then it went away. I don't know why I reviewed a simple PR for Gez. I Fixed the wiki vk test issue. I think you know for the wiki skills I have a I have a method that I refactored So instead of having these gnarly timeouts Basically, you know looks for the right message response and that seems to work faster and better in everything past the only question is I posted it up in the dev Chat not clear to me how you want to handle it Gez if you want to take it I can just either give you the code or I can create a PR if I create a PR What should I create a PR against and I can also put it in the vk test tool That pie file which probably work along. I don't know you how you want to handle that but I'm flexible on that I think I think if we do it against the wiki skill because the Vk tools won't necessarily be available until the next major release So I think if we need it in the wiki skill now, then we should we should drop it in there Yeah, the problem is duck duck don't need to do and They clash I'll commit it into the wiki skill do you want me to create a PR put it on the old one I Think the other one got merged in it Yeah, yeah, and then I got TensorFlow Lite 2.5 running on the mark to I got the Hey, my craft TensorFlow Lite model imported into the network and runner and I Am working on getting it Integrated so that it uses the TensorFlow Lite model and my craft on the mark to instead of size is normal TensorFlow model and That's what I'm working on and will be for tomorrow as well alright kids and I was focused on well doing a bunch of mergers From the community I was also because I was doing a lot of trying to get the panic or Trying to get a release candidate panic or image out, but kept hitting the same Stuff that we had before where it was waiting on initial data sync and I Think partly that's because we haven't done releases since we hit that big issue last time and so I Think I was just hitting the The same thing from previously Which I seem to have resolved now, but wait and see And then as soon as we do a new proper stable then it should be Reliated to history The I've been thinking about the the the hard sleeps stuff that you mentioned because I've realized that it's also Causing a delay in the start-up process It's like in the Wi-Fi connect skill we We sleep for periods of time during the initialized method and so the skill doesn't Because it's a priority skill And it's not considered loaded until the initialized method is completed All of those sleeps are just like delaying the start-up of everything else So I'm going to switch that across to Some scheduled event callbacks which will You know allow the exact same behavior to happen, but the rest of the skills can continue loading in the background Which would just be everything set up You know about 30 seconds quicker And I also had a look at the Whether there's a way we can do this news GUI before You know actually redoing the whole common-play music service stuff and And At the moment the only solution I've come up with is is a little bit of a hack So Juvius about it Yeah So I won't go into details about that because that will be a whole that will take it's not a dick tension But just putting that out there Maybe we need to talk about it soon or delay delay the News GUI until we until we do the music spring Since it's you know fits into that whole common-play Group Yeah, there you want to go next yes, so Michael found a bug in my recent salini push when it came to SSH keys and Putting them in there, so I fixed that that is also that got that into tests yesterday Tested it a few times and now it is in production So that will no longer be a problem Which is probably a problem for a lot of people but If you are entering an SSH key and everything should now work And Okay, because it worked for me an hour or so ago So What else like yeah, I'm looking at the skill API and the Home screen but my device has been stuck in the Spinning circle of death for several hours now. I'm not sure why so I'm I think I was going on there too, but that's kind of where I'm at is Working on that home skill screen Getting the date and time in there boy. We want them to so anything else we want to talk about it's not status update related 15 minutes that's pretty cool. I'm much probably close to a record Well, do you want to do you want to hear the weed hack of innocent? I'm waiting about it's not that much of a hack But the fact that you need a word hack is a bad thing Well, I don't think it's I don't think it's the best thing in the world So like one of the problems is you know when we when you send a track to the to the commonplace service currently we send The URL and a mime type in the first instance and then as a follow-up call We send all of the track information And so one of the things that I would you know love to see in the future Playback system is that if we have all the information available already Just send it all to the to the play service You know in that first call So the then it can you know decide which player to use and It can you know render everything, you know from from the start rather than Rendering a blank screen like a blank player and then slowly populating data as it comes in Well Yeah, there's this kind of there's been suggestions about using the mime type For that Yes, yeah Yeah, but like but then to to say the what Derek was talking about was like you know for For Something that streams or for like the new skill we might have one one QML page for a Service like Spotify, we might have a different QML page for a service like Pandora streaming radio where you can skip forward. We might have a different QML page and they It feels like using the mime type to differentiate between those is a bit of a hack in itself Well, nobody said you could use the mime type of differentiates between screenings players Well, that's kind of been suggested as like one that's that's one hack around it is to like, you know Append some weird append another bit to the mime type Yeah, yeah, right so we could map Map skill IDs to which page should be used We're gonna design it Yeah, well, and it like we're gonna do it in the music sprint which is coming up pretty soon I didn't think about mapping the skill IDs to to QML pages that that's not a bad Idea, it's less. I mean I was thinking about adding a you know a new Parameter to the call that had a default value so it gets ignored if it if it's not passed in You know that essentially just adds a data object allowing you to to pass in all that extra information But that would require You know changes to the multi feature branch, which you know wouldn't be out on the mainline Core and and so then we'd have to to check to see which which version we're using and It all gets a bit ugly So, yeah, it's good idea. That's a good idea. I might go. I'll go have a look at that Or show or add the QML page identifier to the message Yeah, yeah Yeah, that's what that's that's basically what I was talking about adding adding information to the message that you know Well, I mean it makes sense that you're gonna look at it The player by default that come play level would have a Yeah, there's just not a Because like currently the the initial message is a you know a tuple a two-length tuple It's it doesn't provide for easy injection of extra data in there Yeah, but it starts rendering the page from the from the first message And then the secondary message Yeah, anyway, I'll have another look at that face. Yeah, I think the skill ID might be a The cleanest way of doing it Cool anybody Does anyone want to have a look at the news yeah, that still hasn't been reviewed Yeah, that's my bad. I'll get to it. I'll do it right after this meeting sweet. All right Well, then I'll uh, let's cut it out and see you all tomorrow Yeah, so there's a gooey element that we're gonna need eventually Cuz I was testing the timer and you can set timers to work timers or long timers and right now they Format weird, you know, once it goes out of two cards or four cards, they just spill over the card. They're too big so We they're gonna need to truncate it, you know, you truncate it and put some ellipses on the end or something or scrolling horizontal text Which I actually see quite a lot and even in like Android apps and stuff Are you saying that if we had three timers, we'd have three timer images or icons on the screen at the same time Yeah, yeah Just have one with a number inside of it. Well, we've already got to work it No, but but we're gonna need this for a lot of things, you know You're gonna need it in the music skills cuz like there's so many artists now that it's like, you know So-and-so featuring so-and-so and so-and-so and it's like five artists And you know, you're not gonna be able to display all the text in one line. That's actually how a lot of these other music Skill or music apps on like Android or whatever. They're doing scrolling horizontal text to deal with this this problem It's one way to do it or like I said just truncating it, you know And then putting some ellipses or something to indicate that it's been truncated. I I'm okay with either but we we need a you know We're gonna have to come up with a solution at some point and there'd be something to be used in in multiple different guis so anyway Something to think about but we're already seeing a problem in timer. So I Will make a ticket for it That's it. Yep sounds good All right Yeah, you could do like a bubble with scrolling text inside the bubble Yeah, yeah, that would work Yeah, we'll just take a look at different ideas Cool. All right, we'll see y'all tomorrow Yeah, right


Hey everyone, welcome back to Nintendo Prime. Sorry we haven't had a lot of news videos the last couple of days, it's been a bit of a crazy week. Just a lot of kid activities here as we wind down to the end of the school year, but we're getting a little bit back on track cause I got some breaking news. Well, not really breaking news, but important news for you today that we're going to discuss. But before we get to that, I wanna remind you we are giving away two copies of Mario Striker's Battle League to kick off Prime Gaming Fest. All you have to do is go down to the pinned comment or down in the description, click on the link. And I wish everyone luck, we'll be announcing the winners at the start of Prime Gaming Fest at June 9th at 10 or 9 a.m. 9 a.m. CTN June 9th. Hope to see all you guys there for Prime Gaming Fest. And let's get into what we have to talk about in regards to this because this news is one that Nintendo's been doing for a while, but it's really interesting what they're trying to do and that is Nintendo trying to stop cheaters. There have been a lot of cheating that has happened across their software. Mario Kart cheaters, Smash Bros. cheaters and really the one that happens, I think more frequently than most, Splatoon 2. And it's sort of important to do something about cheating when you have Splatoon 3 coming out. And a lot of the ways that various companies deal with cheating end up being a little bit hurtful towards normal consumers. So let's just dive into what Nintendo is doing here by checking out this article on Nintendo Life. So it says Nintendo files a patent to combat online cheating and software modification. So it says Nintendo is always filing patents for all sorts of ideas, but they don't always see the light of day. This latest one might be a bit different though. This new one will target cheaters by attempting to identify any software modifications. This would be achieved by implementing an attestation program that continues to check for possible code changes to the software. The technology described implements attestation programs that employ code reuse techniques. In particular, the technology relates to auto-generating attestation programs for among other aspects, detecting whether a program has been modified. In one non-limiting example, the technology uses a tool that scans a software program, example a video game, code for usable code sequences. The tool can automatically combine code sequences to generate a large number of attestation programs of different varieties, example memory checks and hashing. The same pattern further notes how attestation tools are particularly handy for online multiplayer and competitive play over the internet and mentions how unfair advantages result in games may be less satisfying for all users. These modifications can also come with certain security risks. Such cheating is prevalent where the gaming environment is extended to gaming, particularly multiplayer gaming over the internet. In particular, users are able to modify software in a way that enables them to have advantages over other players on different systems across a multiplayer game. These unfair advantages result in the game being much less satisfying to the user, thereby affecting the overall human user experience and interaction in the game. Moreover, such modifications to the game can create certain security risks for the game system. So yeah, they're probably not gonna officially announce this as they note here. It'll just be something that just simply exists. And it's probably trying to get out there before Splatoon 3 hits to deal with the wide swath of cheating that's been going on in Splatoon 2. So this is clearly a very positive thing for Nintendo to explore. And what's notable here is that since this is a software-based anti-cheat, it actually shouldn't impact people dumping their games to PC to emulate. It really shouldn't affect that at all. It also shouldn't affect whether or not people modified their Nintendo Switch hardware and say, wanna run custom firmware or other things like that or wanna add other modifications to their hardware. So maybe some of them, what's the water cool their Switch for some reason? It shouldn't really impact any of that. So that's really cool. They're not really checking for hardware modifications. This is focusing on software because software is the most prevalent type of cheating out there. In fact, it's pretty hard to catch someone cheating with hardware because you have to figure out exactly what the hell they're doing. So yeah, I do think the software cheating is the most easy one to catch because it does involve obviously tampering with code in some way and being able to have some sort of system in place to catch that tampering. And thus, take care of those players, boot them out, permaband, whatever they gotta do is definitely beneficial for the consumer. This doesn't mean it can't affect hardware, of course, because naturally, if you catch someone cheating, Nintendo could decide, hey, we're just gonna brick your Switch and that's gonna be that. Nintendo has done the Switch Switches, DSs and other systems in the past. So this isn't beyond Nintendo scope. And if you are breaking terms of service on the game, which also happens to break the terms of service to the platform, Nintendo does maintain the rights to basically prevent you from using your Switch anymore. So it's well within Nintendo's rights whether you like it or not. So this is good. This is a positive because nobody likes to play online matches but cheating. And that has been one of the somewhat underbelly conversation leading up to the launch of Splatoon 3 was how Nintendo was gonna deal with cheating since it was so prevalent. Like when you went to the upper ranks of Splatoon 2, let's just say it was pretty common sometimes as much as every other match to run into people who were clearly cheating in some way. And that sucks because when you're at that highest level of competition, you would like to just play against other people who are also highly skilled in not taking advantage of things that you aren't privy to unless you also cheat. And while they did catch a number of these cheaters, there was always more and it wasn't always the best. So Nintendo having a new anti-cheat program in place. One that's more software based especially for online multiplayer games. I think it makes a lot of sense. I also like how this isn't really a DRM style anti-cheat. Like we have seen a lot of DRM version anti-cheats in the past from a lot of other companies that ultimately we're trying to solve multiple things. They're trying to solve cheating and also trying to solve pirating all in one. And frankly, it ended up just creating a mess of a system for end users, legitimate consumers that bought the game and aren't cheating or having some difficulties just trying to play the game due to that DRM. So Nintendo didn't go that route, thankfully. So that's really good. And obviously the games between three do have a single player mode. So you definitely don't wanna be like, oh, you must connect online to play, blah, blah, blah. That's just, we need to do an online check and then our servers will check the code base. No, why can't you just build it into the system, build it into the software and let the software self-check and hey, guess what? When you connect online, if the code base that exists to check the software is somehow deleted, because I could see someone hacking in, wanting to maybe say, hey, what if I just delete the checker? Well, if that code's missing, they could just say, oh, you're clearly cheating because you modified the code just to get rid of the code checker in the first place. So that's the beauty of playing online is that they can still check the code as you connect. So I think that they're in a very good place here to stop cheating, moving forward. This isn't gonna be full proof, by the way. We all know that no matter what anti-cheat systems are put in place, cheaters find a way around it, right? People who are hacking the games find a way around these anti-cheat systems. So it's really just a matter of time before somebody finds a way around this system. But still, if it can greatly reduce the number of cheaters, especially at launch for Splatoon 3 and maybe moving forward, I'm all for it because I think obviously an anti-cheat built around checking code changes is maybe one of the more clever ideas. In fact, I'm kind of surprised Nintendo's the one that come up with this system and it hasn't meant other major multiplayer games, like Call of Duty or something, doing something like this. It's Nintendo that came up with the concept. So kind of neat. You guys don't know what you think about this down in the comments below. I am Nathaniel Ruppeljantz from Nintendo Prime. I hope you really enjoyed this video. We'll be back to our normal Prime news episodes on Monday as we get back into a bit of a normal schedule here on an attempt to get back into a normal schedule, getting busy weekend ahead, been a busy week. It's gonna be a busy month. So catch you guys in that next video.


The Rays complete the sweep in the Bronx in this afternoon with a 10-5 win. Just a forgettable three days for a variety of reasons for the Yankees. Yeah, deflating day today that ends a deflating series punctuated by ineffective pitching. Some sloppy play. The Yankees are now knocked out of first place because the Rays took these three games. The Yankees have been in sole possession of first place for 22 straight days. And Bob, there's so much to dissect from this game. James Paxton looked terrific for the first four innings and then he labored in that fifth inning. He had talked about making some adjustments, some mechanical adjustments to pick up his Velo. Remember he had that back surgery and he just soured in that inning. And then the Yankee both went after that Ottavino and Avalon struggled. We didn't see Chad Green, which is curious. And then on top of all that, the Yankees lose another player, Glaiber Torres, to a hamstring injury. So a frustrating day all around. Yeah, we'll hear from Aaron Boone about Glaiber and his status and more. Buck, show Walter joins us now. Buck, I had your voice in my head during the game.  It seems like these last three days, the Rays were very comfortable with the atmosphere in the Bronx. Yeah, you could tell that they knew that they were going to have to use multiple pitchers today and they're using, you know, guys, regardless of their background, their experience, I mean, sluggers got called up today and he's fishing a three run lead in the eighth inning. That's who they are, but you can tell they got their ears pinned back. They're letting it fly. They feel like they're playing with house money. And, uh, you know, the Yankees looked a little flat today, but I thought Faxman was great for four innings. He used all of his pitches, even though his velocity was still down somewhat. I thought the change up in the breaking ball and the command of all three pitchers by as good as I've seen it. And like you said, Jack, the fifth inning just didn't happen for him. The bottom line is the Rays win this one 10 to five. So they now won six of seven against the Yankees this season. They won three or four in St. Pete. And you take a look at the season by opponents against everybody else. The Yankees have just torn it up 15 and three averaging more than six runs a game, but just one at six against the Rays 3.4 runs. The average down the home runs per game down. But to your point, it's a great reminder if nothing else in the shortened season, but gives a little more concern is that the Rays up and down have a very good pitching staff and very good continuity and just solid people at positions. Yeah, and they've got such depth. You see the people they're bringing into games. It's just you talk about next man up. That's the way they look at their bullpen was your turn to pitch.  What? What do you need? I don't care. You know, you just came up from our leagues. I don't care.  We want to be cautious this season. Sometimes caution has to be thrown the wind a little bit, and you're going to have to do some things unconventionally. And I think that's what everybody's struggling to grasp is what is your level of sense of urgency in a 60 game season. And these games certainly reveal that. Buck, I think you said something at the beginning of this series that was so vital and it proved to be true. The Rays don't fear the Yankees. They're more a familiar foe, not a feared foe.  It's sort of the idea of know your enemy and I think the Rays know the Yankees very well. Yes, the Yankees know the Rays very well, but when you look at this series, the Rays simply outplayed the Yankees. Well, it's also we talked also Jack about presentation. We're also talking about the presence and these are good players to make it keep the wind with. There's a have now the presentation and the just the status that some of the guys that are out present over the course of these series. It's the stuff they're missing as much as the statistics.
