Order number two is all the way sparked up. One more shop delivered 31 items, 4.6 miles for 3950. R.R.P. Nipsey. Let's go. I want to say this, baby. This order was critical. They got a lot of odd stuff. I think they have to be ordered. They got like butterscotch cookies and old fashioned oatmeal and different things like that. This joint was going to be critical. I ain't going to lie. Definitely going to work the money. But it's all good though, baby. We're going to keep on moving and we're going to keep on moving. You want to come out? And some of the stuff they didn't have. So we're like two things. That's it.  So it is what it is, baby. We're about to get these dividend. But that joint fell out. This here, Bamsky. That drink right there. She looked like this. I've never even seen a type of cranberry juice. I don't know. It looked like prune juice. That's what I thought it was at first, but it wasn't. So we're going to move this over. Chuck these A right there. Wawop. Let's go. We are here to talk about this order. To get an order, baby. You want to come out? I'm going to get this right here. Wawop. And then I'm going to get that milk. That boy needs some milk. Get that. Get that. I'm going to get the washing powder. And this is going to be all on one hand. We might give it. We're going to take one trip there. We're going to do it. This is what we're doing. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. We're doing it, baby. You know what I'm talking about? At the top, let's go get this money, baby. Oh, they got the... It said beware of dog on that fence too. So I got to be sure. I'll be careful. Yes, well, I ain't got to worry about any dog. In this case, you want to come out here and get busy. I'll be about to move on. Oh, I want to drop these down. I'm going to try to get it before they come out. Okay, John. Brear right there. Wawop. Put this right here. Wawop. They got good breads. Good breads. Good breads. So that's the eggs and the fruit. Drop this back. You just have to wait. Let's see. Hello. How you doing, ma'am? Okay. You're welcome. You have an excellent day, ma'am. Don't get me, doggy. That beef right there. Yeah, right.  That little girl helped you. Is that back in on the full yard? No, no. Man, we gone. Guess what, guys? All the way sparked up and taking me up top to the fifth row, like, raw man, look. So I hit my metrics. And guess what? My acceptance rate is at 10%. So I had the car already sparked up. Let them know what's going on, baby. Oh, we got our order right here. My fault, baby. I'll talk to you guys about that when we get back to the car. No, we're about to go far. Let's go. What's going on? How you doing? Um, yes, sir. Which one is smaller? They got around the same size. This one has a drink. I'm just going to put this one in the car. I seem like it's a little bit smaller. How you doing this morning? I'm trying to get this money, man. That's all I want to do. Get this money. Back to what we was talking about. My acceptance rate is at 10%. So I'm trying to figure out what's going on, man. Because I went out here getting busy. We've been moving shifts. We've been getting this $300 and $400 a day. And we've been keeping these headers away.  All the way sparked up told me that the reason why my acceptance rate is down to 10% is because I keep on delivering expired orders. So I told them that all the orders pop up like 20 orders at a one time. And I picked the one that's going to pay the most. I'll be riding the ghost next year. We're in the clear. But they said it's going to send everything out to tech and tech is going to fix everything for me. And I asked them, so what happens about acceptance rate keep going down? And y'all going to kick me off of what y'all going to do. They said that everything's going to be good because I called them already. So if this happened to you or your area, you want to get them. You want to make sure you get them a call so you can continue the ball. And we ain't going to stall. We're going to, uh, wait and deliver, baby. I'll see you guys when we get to the house. We are creeping like a monster. Let's go. Like that, we are here. We're going to get busy. And we got that dog food. Dog food. And we got some diet seven ups, baby. He might be getting righteous. And come on. It's out in the country, baby. It's like a little farm back there and everything. They got a lot of land. That's why I want to get a lot of land, man. Definitely want to get me a lot of land. Not going to throw it off. That's the plan to get a lot of land to get these bands, man. I don't want like maybe like one acre or something like that in the area. One other area. Come on. Let's go. Get a fence to cut that grass. Or we got a pit. Somebody cut it for us. Come on. Like it's hot. Like it's hot. Now we know what time it is. What time is it, baby? Step back in with the four-yard auto. We got it. Just like that, we are here to jump up order number two. What are they doing? They got some image drugs, baby. They're monster. I used to, I drunk a monster a few times, but guess what? It gave me the juice. So I had to stop drinking that John. I'm going to the first time I get, I drunk it. I was feeling so weird, baby. I didn't even know what the juice was. I was just going to drop it like a tie. So I drink, I end up drinking every now and then and not often. They say it's not that good for you. The way the wet go, we trying to get this done. You know what I'm saying? And we going to score. Drop it like a tie. And this one says drop it. It's not going to go up, but he's going to be on the call. So we're going to drop it like a tie. It's that Texan.  Bop, bop, bop, bop. And then we got over there. We're going to step back. Hit him with the four-yard auto. Back. We go. Order three and four. All y'all ready for the show? All the way, sparked up.

We got a tick up top with this order. I'm talking about it was credit code and app crash while I was in Walmart. So that's what made it so much worse. And guess what? This one said, leave it at the back door where it's rich. Here is it. But they got a whole fence back there. And guess what I ain't going to be doing? Going nobody fast. Somebody dog biting. But then what we going to do after that? Come on. But yes, today hasn't been going the greatest style. I ain't going to lie to y'all, man. I think it's our last order anyway. Or my business partner last. Both are at last order to get an order. They ain't just been off for me today for some of our reasons. Guess what? We ain't complaining.

Alright guys, welcome back to the channel, if you're new, my name is Bobby. Today I'm going to be answering viewers' question regarding God. Ever since I returned to Christianity, Christian orthodoxy to be precise, people asked me how to connect to God, how to feel God, how to understand God. What does it mean to surrender to God? So, in today's video I want to clarify this question, because I can relate to it very, very well. Before returning to Christianity, I was into New Age, into psychedelics, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and what not. I can very well relate to that question, even though I grew up somewhat Christian. My parents are from Macedonia, by default I was Christian orthodox, I was baptized as a baby, but I never looked into Christian orthodoxy, quite the opposite. I turned my back on it and I thought that the wisdom must lay in Buddhism, in Hinduism, in Eastern philosophy, in Terence McKenna, in Ellen Watts and what not. I was sure that Christianity cannot be the answer. That stuff is too old, that is something from the past. It is here to control the masses. It is all a cult brainwashing, so on and so forth. I even discussed it here on this channel and said, ma'am, if I want to experience mushrooms, I just take some mushrooms. If I want to understand ayahuasca, I just drink some ayahuasca. If I want to understand LSD, I just pop a tap. It is very straightforward, it is very easy to comprehend how to understand God. I was struggling with it. But guys, the answer is pretty easy. From a Christian perspective, we all know what we have to do. We all know what we have to do in order to connect to God. Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. What does it mean? As Christians, we cannot connect to God without Jesus. It is that simple. And that is something that I was struggling with. Coming from the New Age, coming from Buddhism, Hinduism. I believe that I am God. Man is God and everybody can internalize and actualize God in themselves. Within themselves, they can become God in this creation. They can become an enlightened master just as the Buddha. And even Jesus was an enlightened master. He was not the son of God. He was channeling God. He was becoming God in this creation. He was a Kundalini yoga master. He was a shaman that was Jesus. And therefore, he was just a man. And therefore, I can do the same thing. The exact same thing is possible for me. Here, little me, Bobby, I can transcend just like Leo from actualized.org. I can transcend and self-actualize and become God. And then I can have a bigger YouTube channel. God's perspective on YouTube. How amazing is that? And you can do it too. Christianity wants from exactly that phenomena. There is only one God and we are not God. We all hold God within us. But that does not mean that we are God. The Holy Spirit can flow through us, but we are not God. Only Jesus is the begotten Son. He is the only begotten Son. And we can find our way to the Lord only through Him. There is no other way. So now, enough ranting. What does that mean in practical terms? For me, it meant to pray to Jesus. Most literally, to do the Jesus prayer. If you do not know the Jesus prayer, the Jesus prayer goes like this. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me. A sinner. Now, what do those words mean? It is about humbling oneself. It is about realizing that you are not God. Who wants to be God? If you take this metaphysical spiritual concept, what you are talking about is your ego. The ego wants to be God. Your true self has no interest in becoming God because yourself wouldn't have that desire if it wasn't for that ego. To connect to Jesus, to understand that the sin is in the flesh, that you truly, by default, are born a sinner, you will understand how to humble yourself and how to reconnect with God. When you ask for Jesus, when you ask Jesus to forgive your sins, he will appear to you. You will be visited by Jesus. It might be in a dream. It might be in a vision. It might be in your heart. There are many different ways and I know it sounds vague. I fully understand why people critique and disregard Christians because it seems so woo-woo to them. But those are the exact same people that have no issues in doing a 180 and going to Eastern philosophy, going to Buddhism, Hinduism and praying to their Guru. No issues with that. But when it comes down to Christianity, out of a sudden they do not see this first-hand experience. They cannot grasp it. But let me tell you, just as you can go to a Buddhist temple and meditate and feel it the same way. You can feel Jesus in your heart as well.  If you go by the Ten Commandments, have you light? I'm sure you did. Have you stolen? Most of us have. Even the smallest, tiniest things. Have you lost it for men or for women?  Most of us did. So what does it mean? If you are into the spiritual concepts, you will understand that all of those sins are passions of the flesh. All of those sins are desires of your body. Every time you follow those desires, you are disconnecting from God. God is metaphysical. God is non-physical. The alpha and the omega. How can you connect to something non-physical through physicality? The more you get into comfort, the more you get away from God. This is why fasting practices work. This is why eschatism works. Comfort is the enemy of the Lord. Comfort is the enemy of God. Comfort is the enemy of communion and connection to the Lord. Why is that so? Because every time you feel comfortable, you lose that non-physical connection. So again, I went on an epic rant here. How do we connect to God? Through humbling ourselves. Through fasting. Through reading the scripture. Through truly having faith. And through truly surrendering to God. Which means to understand that you, with your little desires and mind constructs, will never find bliss. You will never find your way home by yourself. You assume that by following your desires, you will accomplish anything in this life. That is ludicrous. There is a creation, there is a creator. It is that simple. Nobody would assume now, staring at their phones or at their computers, that there is no creator behind those things. Nobody would assume that me, hello, how did I come to this world? With no parents, with no father, with no mother, there is always a creator behind the creation. But out of the sudden, we take the miracle of the Big Bang. You cannot set it. Science operates under one premise. Grant us one miracle and we explain the rest. Give us the Big Bang. Boom! Nothingness, right? Something out of nothing. And now we are going to explain the rest.  If you cannot accept that you have been created, you will be running in circles. You will be seeking and looking and striving. You won't find anything. It will be your demise. The only way to true happiness is through the Lord, through surrendering to the will of God. And once you surrender to the will of God, you will feel it in your heart. Just as I said with meditation, you feel it, right? Your mind gets calmer, fine, through yoga. You feel it, right? Through your body. Through cold showers. You feel it as well, right? There are many different practices. But for true peace at heart, you will have to surrender to God and understand that if you do not follow God's path that he laid out to you, you will follow the path of the devil. The devil will be your father and you will follow the passions of the flesh. That you cannot win. You will never be able to satisfy all your desires. And as long as you stay in comfort, you will never be able to connect to your father. So, to sum it up. Ask Jesus Christ. Ask the Lord for forgiveness.  Understand fully that you've done wrong. Understand fully that you are not as good as you like it to be. That you are not an ascendant master. Understand fully that you won't be some actualized being and leading the way into an evolving future. This is not your role here.  Accept it. This is what you've been created for. Stop fantasizing. Stop thinking about enlightenment. It is all a scam. How many people on YouTube talk about enlightenment and how many people reached it? Just ask yourself that question. Jed McKenna wrote a beautiful book, Spiritual Enlightenment, The Damnedest Thing and he describes beautifully how many people are in the business of enlightenment and how many people truly deliver. If enlightenment is your business, shouldn't you have many disciples that are all enlightened? If your business is bodybuilding, how many transformations did you create, right? How many clients did you change? What happened there? If you cannot deliver you're not in the right business.  How many of those gurus deliver real results? I haven't seen any. So many enlightened masters Osho and all the rest. They're talking about enlightenment but nobody reaches it. You won't reach enlightenment through watching YouTube videos. Enlightenment is a scam. It is a lie. You will only find peace at heart through the Lord. Humble yourself.  Understand that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. This is the only way to repent. Alright guys, that's it for today. Yet again, a slightly different video. I'm aware most people will hate it and that is totally alright because we are living in the end times where people are against God. They want to follow the doctrines of the devils. They want to follow veganism and that is a-okay with me. That is what we know will happen. This is what we've been warned of.

because I seem to have this habit now that every time I complete a puzzle I feel like I have to do this. Compare how both Eboo and Masterpieces stand up to my non-permanent storage method. Now for those of you who are new here I'll quickly go over what I'm talking about in terms of the non-permanent method and if you haven't seen my first couple of attempts using this method on two other brands then I'll leave a link down below to where I did my first puzzle storage video. But then after we quickly go over that you're going to join me as I try to use my puzzle mat for the first time. Now I'm not sure how well or how bad this is going to go for me but I'm sure that'll be interesting. I'm really curious how this is going to turn out and we're going to use this on my Masterpiece puzzle. So let's get down to business. First things first let's go over Eboo real quickly. Now I was successful in putting this puzzle away using my non-permanent method of choice but I do have to say it wasn't as easy as the Buffalo Games puzzle. All the pieces did hold up very well together. I was even able to lift it from the puzzle board and it stayed in one piece which was great. So just doing that alone made me realize that this was actually going to work. So I did my usual counting of pieces on each side just to make sure it fits within the box and then try taking the sections apart. But the reason why I say this wasn't as easy as when I did it with the Buffalo Games puzzle was because it was almost like the pieces did not want to come apart at times and areas that you didn't want to come apart would. So it felt delicate in some areas but where I really needed it to come apart it was a little difficult. There were some casualties along the way but it was nothing disastrous. Once I got the section that I wanted out I did any little repairs I had to do and I saved it in the box and I did that for the rest of the puzzle. Overall it wasn't the smoothest process but I got the results that I wanted in the end and just to give it some kind of support or cushion in the box once all the sections were inside I just took the bag that the pieces came in kind of folded it up and put it in the middle and just covered the box. Now I plan to store this box laying flat but then I realized well I have nowhere to put this flat so it has actually for the last week in a bit it's been standing vertically and I haven't opened it up to see what it looks like so um let's see because I didn't really put any like bubble or anything to keep it supported. That fooled me for a second. Ah look guys oh well you see that's not terrible it's still trying to hold now I just folded it up. What have I done? There we go. So as you can see I'm trying so the hold is not as strong as with Buffalo Games. Everything seems intact in here to be honest. Nothing has fallen apart in here which is great and I've been had I've had it standing up the whole time. Obviously I'm trying to like take the sections out and some of the pieces do come out but I mean I just pop them back in and it's fine but overall this is really not bad honestly for standing vertically and I didn't put tape on the box I probably should just to keep just to make sure that it stays you know closed but I mean that's all I've done seems pretty darn good to me it's not bad. Considering that it wasn't the strongest holding puzzle if that makes sense it holds up it does the job which is nice. Now if it were to fall apart one day if I open it again or fall to a million pieces I'm not gonna be too heartbroken because honestly that puzzle was pretty easy in my opinion to put together and it didn't take me very long so I won't be so crushed so that's fine. Now let's move on to masterpieces. Now one thing I noticed immediately after I completed the masterpiece Hershey Park puzzle was how strong it held together because I seem to have this habit now that every time I complete a puzzle I feel like I have to do this. Not bad huh? Watch me drop it. Oh jeez. I'm not getting to it then look at it it's still holding together I don't know if you could see that but one section I just banged it against something and all it did was bend slightly but it's holding on. Now I haven't done this one yet so let's do that together. All right so let's get started with this one here let me get my box. All right we have let's do our counting to 10 by 11 so always get your box ready so that you could start popping the sections in. All right let's get my life. Oh yeah oh this is magic this is wonderful look how easy that was oh my goodness look at that guys we have very thick puzzle pieces here so that's why. This worked out really well for this brand they came out fairly easily those probably maybe just about five or six pieces that came loose from the edges so that was an easy fix they stacked on top of each other really nicely and they went into the box really well so honestly I think masterpieces did a better job at this than buffalo games and it just has to be because of those thick pieces it was definitely much easier to do than on the buffalo games puzzle so what do you know in terms of my favorite non-permanent method of storage for my puzzles it looks like masterpieces has hit first place buffalo games is number two now and he boos at third place but that's okay seco doesn't even make the list it didn't even try to make the list but anyways let's move on to the puzzle mat. Hit the like button if you have one of these puzzle mats and also if you do let me know if you use it very often but let me know your personal experience with this all right here we go now let's see what the instructions are first we have to spread out and flatten the mat on a smooth surface then we have to fully inflate the tube please note that the inflatable tube is not for lifesaving anyways roll up make sure the jigsaw puzzles are flat before rolling up the mat place the inflated tube at one end and then roll up the mat slowly by applying even pressure then lastly fasten both ends of the mat with the enclosed elastic bands for easy storage and transport all right guys i'm gonna do my best here to film this but let's open this up and see what we have inside all right so here we have the mat i guess these here are the elastic bands they have velcro on them and it comes with two of them so let's put those on the side because we'll need those last here's our inflatable tube the only dilemma i'm seeing here is that i gotta inflate this uh this is a lot i have asthma i'm gonna be wasted by the time i'm done with this okay the tube is inflated that was that was strenuous all right and let's open up this mat it just seems like a piece of felt fabric to be honest it's nothing sturdy obviously because you have to roll it up let's lift up the master pieces puzzle and let's get this mat under it all right so we have this on this seems pretty big i guess it doesn't really matter where you start with it all right let's try here i guess we do this right so start on the edge and then just roll from there okay i feel i feel in here the puzzles crying a little bit all right now it looks like we have a sausage so once you have your sausage ready put your elastic bands on all right i mean i think that's it the puzzle's inside i mean you're probably not supposed to do this i don't know why i'm doing that but i guess just to see how well this lets the puzzle hold up all right what happens if i do this that probably wasn't a good idea the last part of the test is let's open it and see what's happened to my puzzle this is probably not a good you know i just kind of smashed it on the table but let's see i guess that's not bad right all you have to do is kind of flatten the pieces back down and i mean it did its job it's it saved the puzzle and you could put the tube anywhere once it's all rolled up you could store it in a closet i mean i guess if you like to keep your puzzles that way you'll have multiple sausages in your closet but you know this works really i'm i'm surprised i would be curious though how this can save a puzzle that is not fully completed to me that sounds like that would be a real test because if you need to stop your puzzle midway store it somewhere else until you can get back to it will it hold up well if it's not fully completed or does it have to be fully completed i don't know i think that's for another video we're gonna have to try that next time but obviously with that you would have to start the puzzle whilst this black mat is on the table so yeah i think we'll try that next time but i think honestly this puzzle mat is it was a success this it works which is fantastic this is great i kind of want to do it again now wow i mean as i said you just gotta push them back down but that's not bad at all this is fantastic i would recommend this this is good stuff i'd be curious how well this would work for a number of puzzle brands let me know what brands you've used this puzzle mat on i'd be curious to know that turned out better than i expected so yeah i don't know how well that would work for a half completed puzzle or one that's you know barely started probably not well now that i think about it but again let me know your experiences using a puzzle mat but yeah it's good stuff i just got my sausage hanging on the side there are the pile of puzzles that i need to find the home for in my house but it does the job that was fun i'm really glad that the puzzle mat worked out for me and it wasn't a catastrophe which was what i really expected but thankfully it wasn't so if you're interested in picking one of these puzzle mats up and i highly recommend it now i'll leave a link down below in case you're interested in looking more into it but anyways guys i hope this video gave you some good information on these puzzle mats and help you get an idea on different ways to store your completed puzzles but yeah this is pretty useful and speaking of useful i'm gonna have a video coming out soon on kind of like my favorite puzzle items favorite puzzle must-haves so stay tuned for that all right guys well i'm gonna go figure out which puzzle i'm going to do next and it might not necessarily be a flat jigsaw puzzle so if you want to find out exactly what i'm talking about and if you're new here be sure to subscribe so that you can keep up to date with all my puzzle reviews and see what new tips and tricks i come up with and i always got new puzzles coming in anyways guys thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one


Our ability to compare two ratios leads to an important result. So you could first of all define that magnitudes in the same ratio are said to be proportional. Now, notice that we have to have two ratios, so A and B, as well as C and D, must have a ratio. However, there's no requirement that B and C have a ratio. They could be entirely different things that we can't find a ratio between. Now, if they did have a ratio, if B and C were the same things, then Euclid noted that a proportion required at least three quantities. And so Euclid then considered, suppose that we have three magnitudes proportional, then the first is said to have the third a duplicate ratio of that which it has to the second. So again, this language of ratio and proportion might not be as familiar as they should be, so let's consider this. If we view our ratios as fractions with positive real numbers, then our proportion A is to B as B is to C. We can read that as A B is equal to B C. And let's see what this duplicate ratio really means. What we want to do is we want to find the ratio of the first to the third and compare it to the ratio of the first to the second. So introducing some horrifically anachronistic algebra. If we multiply both sides by A B and simplify, and over here on the right-hand side that's our ratio of the first to the third, and over on the left-hand side that's our duplicate ratio of the first to the second. And that means the duplicate ratio is what we think of as the square of the ratio. What's worth noting here is that over on the left-hand side we have the ratio between the squares of two quantities, but it's still a ratio between two quantities A and C. What this means is that we can express ratios of squares as ratios of sides. So let's do that. If the two sides of the two squares are A and B, then the ratio of the two squares is the ratio A squared to B squared. Now this is the duplicate ratio of A to B. And so A and B are the first and second terms in the proportion. A is to B as B is to C. And this continued proportion gives us A squared is to B squared as A is to C. And this is important because that euclid generalizes it to the idea of a continued proportion. When four magnitudes are continuously proportional, the first is said to have to the fourth the triplicate ratio of that which it has to the second, and so on continually whatever the proportion. Again, let's see what this triplicate ratio is. So I have four magnitudes that are continuously proportional. So again, regarding these ratios as fractions with positive real numbers, then we have. So A is to B as B is to C. And B is to C as C is to D. And again, we'll anachronistically multiply this first ratio by A divided by B. And there's our duplicate ratio. Now if we multiply by A B's again, if we multiply on the left by A B's and on the right by something equal to A B's, let's see, A over B is B over C, which is C over T. So I can multiply on the left by A over B and on the right by C over D. And simplify. And so here I have my triplicate ratio. A cubed is to B cubed as A is to D. That's the first to the fourth. But euclid says we can go on. So suppose I extend our continued proportionality. C is to D as D is to E. And remember these are all equal to A over B. So if I multiply on the left by A over B and on the right by D over E, we get. And now I have the ratio of two fourth powers is equal to the ratio between the first and the fifth. And here's the important thing. If A and B are the lengths of line segments, then C, D, E and so on also has to be line segments. But it's not clear what A to the fourth, B to the fourth are. But the ratio of A to the fourth and B to the fourth is equal to the ratio between two line segments. So we might express a ratio of two cubes. So if our two cubes are A cubed and B cubed, then A and B are the first two magnitudes in a proportionality. A is to B as B is to C. And since these are cubes, we want to continue C is to D. And this continued proportionality gives us the triplicate ratio A cubed is to B cubed as A is to D. And again, remember that A and D are line segments. And so this gives the relationship between two cubes in terms of the relationship between two lines.


Hey guys, welcome to Archland! So we are here with the English version of Archland in their Facebook page and if you can see and recall this, this was yesterday. They are actually featuring Michael and from what I recall once they feature someone, at some point they will be dropping a banner. So take note Michael is already available in all of the banners. She is actually in the probability drops in all of the banners I actually checked but I think she is going to be receiving her own banner. I like the way she is designed, she is unique with all the assassins that are in play in this game and let's take a look at her video guys and see more or less her animations. I am actually liking her unique equipment because at some point her unique equipment can replace a certain skill of her, certain passive. So again, I don't mind having her, as you level her up and as she gains more levels she is going to be very essential in PvE. In early game not much but late game she is going to be very good. Okay guys, so here we are with Michael. So Michael is an assassin again as I mentioned. Light element, she doesn't have that much of a mismatch in terms of the elements, red, green and blue. So she is not going to take a lot of damage from all of the elements but she does have a lower stat. Okay, so starting off with her unique passive, so star path, when above 80% HP increases, P attack of 8, 10, 12, 15. This is going to be applicable to her. At the end of the action gives inspired to all allies with the highest P attack, M attack. For my team it will be Sigard and with also the Charlotte, so within 7 tiles, so within 7 tiles of her. So inspired is increasing of P attack and M attack by 20% which is big. Okay, so take note of that. So for her skills, she's built in an unique way because she's an assassin but she delves a lot in buffs. So for this one divine spear converts 2 debuffs on self into buffs. So for those teams out there that really like to dish out debuffs, they will be converted when she's around. Also for this one precise movement, this is the passive that I mentioned that can be replaced by the unique equipment. So increased damage done by 8% of attacking enemy if you still have movement you can freely move. So the freely free movement can be replaced by that equipment. So also for this one she does gain mobility so she's going to be mobile when she kills. So she's going to be literally be all over the place supporting your team. Killing stragglers left and right, that is her role.  Her role is to support her team but pick off left and right squishy ones or the ones that she can handle. So increased physical and magic attack by 8 when HP is below 50, this is another passive. And most of her passives are based or most of her skills have mobility, have free movement so she's going to be very hard to catch because it's turn based. So also for this one so she also has damage reduction for self. So this is going to be good and also increase another buff here. So Grant's allies within 2 tiles after the battle and increase again with 20%. So she dishes a lot of buffs, she converts debuffs to buffs, she has a lot of mobility, kills whatever she does within the team and I'm starting to like her actually. So this one is a consume 3 anger use 3 skill to gain 1 anger after a deal damage to target. So this one is, I think this is her ultimate skill. So after battle she recovers HP as well. So gain 1 random buff for every tile move through the battle up to 5. So again she gains that for herself. Okay so this is her unique weapon guys, this is one that I mentioned. So again this skill is going to be added and you can use another passive in you know place of that passive that I mentioned that was supposed to be replaced. Okay so again I'll do my separate analysis of of her. For me she's nice to play, she is going to be a part of your late game for PvP definitely. As you can see here she's ranked SS, she's a nice debuffer. A good team actually has to have a nice debuffer, a nice buffer. A good team definitely needs to have a nice buffer probably 1 or 2. You can't go wrong with 1 or 2 but if you only have 1 I think she's the best one so far that I've seen. I've been using Catherine, she's a more of a debuffer than a buffer. I've used Avia so far and Avia also has one buff for attacks but her she has a lot of buffs that she can spread around with increased range and again she has a unique ability for an assassin. Again guys I think at this point if you are done with your summons with the current banners particularly with semi and also with the, forgot her name, the defender forgot her name but anyway those two if you're done with recruiting for them I think Michael is going to be going to be one of the heroes that will give you long term support. If you get her now at least you get one copy. I'll show you guys tomorrow on how to get more copies of your SSRs that you've gotten already. So again get Michael I would highly suggest that you get her for your team in preparation for future PvE matches because alone over DevOps of her mobility and that's it. So I'm off to a party so thank you very much guys for staying this far, take care, stay safe, this is The Warden and I'm out here.

There's an early Holland base going over to the Norwegians. There's a Ramella Lukaku on the silver for Belgium. Belgium's got a squad too. Ask for Schmeichel. Son and base. That's a good one. There's some good ones, for sure. What about all the spaces? I don't blame you on that one, James. I didn't, I had no idea that the Wiseman was still out there. That was absolutely not, like back to back days we pulled Logo Man's. I posted on Instagram, Luka Modric. I posted that my Logo Man from Larry Hughes on my Instagram and he reposted it. Larry Hughes.

Next up, more mosaic. Let's get it filled.


It's my first Blender conference. It was really cool to hang out with the people. Blender has millions of artists. I call it industry standard and all the things I did in other tools, I'm able to do in Blender. It's my everyday work right now, everyday job. Being at BlenderCon for the first time has been really cool because this is like how it got started. There's such a wealth of talks on every possible topic. Everyone is super friendly and the talks that they're giving, they're so informative. I really like that the 42 tips for animation reference talk and that was a really good one. Most of us nerds we don't have a chance to nerd about 3D enough. I'm the one who was learning all of the processes from Blender YouTube channel.  You can learn things through forums and Twitter and get a sense but meeting people face to face, understanding what they're doing with Blender is so invaluable. It's also just nice kind of sharing experiences with other creators and it's a really good place for me to connect with fans of the channel as well. All the women were really happy that there was a space where we could meet from people that do jewelry and 3D from people that animated games. Really diverse without limits. Thank you Blender for being so cool. Now basically we laugh and I became a part of the cult now. I convert people to join this and it's awesome. I want it to be inspired and that happens. I will be back, I will be 100% back here and use Blender.


Chris to Spain an ICANN board member and a long-time figure in the country code top-level domain sphere Chris in the early days John Postel handled most CCTLD delegations directly When ICANN was formed the CC registers disputed a lot of the ICANN fees. There was a lot of contention Tell us about that period. It was wider than the fees Brad. It was it was the whole ICANN concept CCTLDs was a sovereign still are and when I first came along to ICANN in 2000 November 2000 a lot of CCTLDs turned up to ICANN meetings to make sure nothing happened There was an argument going on about The legitimacy of ICANN and more importantly even if ICANN was legitimate Whether the CCTLD world should bother to be involved and and should they pay them any money was of course a major part of that question as well as Should there be contracts between? ICANN and the CCTLD manager so for the first few years from say 2000 the CCs would meet to talk about that and eventually in about 2002 Enough people in the CCTLD world felt it was worth exploring Having a an inter a proper interface a separate CCTLD interface with ICANN apart from the originally the DNSO the domain name supporting organization Included CCs, but they left and so the question was should we have our own our own organization and as part of the As part of looking a look at ICANN structure a review of ICANN structure When we moved to what we have now the supporting organization model There was a call for there to be a CCNSO and that then took quite some considerable time to corral enough Enough CCTLDs together To make it to give it critical mass so that it was possible to negotiate the formation of the CCNSO In those early days now is it an oversimplification to say that the CCs sort of didn't automatically assume ICANN authority Well, they still don't I mean they they they accept that ICANN has its role right and that they have their role and CCs can choose to be There's no because there's no contractual relationship unlike in the GTLD world where every GTLD is in is in a relationship with ICANN in The CC world with a few small exceptions. There is no contractual relationship So what that means is that the CCs come voluntarily to ICANN At its baseline at its absolute baseline all a CCTLD Manager really cares about is the IANA function and as long as the IANA function works So the CCTLD manager can update a phone number in the database or change an address as long as that works And as long as it's stable CCTLD managers at the base are happy. There's very little policy at a global level that has any effect on CCTLDs one example Is the interpretation of RFC 1591, which is the RFC that John Postel wrote to govern the way that a CCTLD management could be transferred from one body to another and CCs have completed now a Policy development on on how that should be interpreted now the interesting thing to remember about that is that that is a global Policy that tells ICANN what to do Not a global policy that tells the CCTLDs what to do and so this this independence Each one being sovereign coming voluntarily in my view actually significantly contributes to the legitimacy of ICANN because you've got Non-contracted people who run their own TLD turning up and involving themselves in the ICANN model Now because they have to but because they choose to so was there an assumption on the ICANN side that equation in those very early days That the CCs would fall into a line or or yes absolutely the ICANN at that time ICANN's I mean ICANN was like a small number of people so individuals views You know held held sway and there was a for quite some time There was a view that CCTLDs would sign contracts that that would happen and CCTLDs would be obliged to make financial contributions And it just it just didn't happen because it was never going to happen. I mean Getting the CCNSO fought in itself was was we really got it across the line in Montreal in 2003 Not because we had a lot of CCTLD managers willing to Do to be in it but more because the vocal voices against it Just accepted that they wouldn't join but they would not try it they wouldn't block it So in other words there was no active Blocking by any CC there was a little bit of active blocking but not enough to make it Yeah, very small number and not enough to make it an issue So when we set it up the the the bylaw said It doesn't officially become the CCNSO until you have four members in each of the regions So you've got Europe Asia Pacific Latin America and Caribbean Africa and You think about that for a second you've got to get four members in each of those regions now The North American region is already a challenge because there aren't actually that many North American Members of the North American region and in fact we're in Puerto Rico right now and Puerto Rico PR was a founding member of the CCNSO In in Africa we had we didn't have an issue in Africa We we got four members there Asia Pacific was okay because we had Australia and New Zealand and Taiwan and and one other which I can't remember but Europe was a real challenge a real challenge Why because the the seat of the the seat of the antipathy towards ICANN was based in Europe And so you had large ccTLDs who simply wouldn't join So the Netherlands was this was a fat and L was a founding member And in the end we had to get Gibraltar became a became a member And we couldn't find a fourth member But because of the quirk of the ICANN regional setup that says that if you are if you are a protectorate You are part of that region. So the French Polynesian islands are actually part of Europe We managed to persuade the Cayman Islands to join as a European member of the CCNSO Was it naive in the early days on the part of ICANN to assume that the ccs would just fall in line I'm not sure there was an assumption that they would do that And I don't think anyone was was naive But I do think that there was a There was a real does a real need I think from the point of view of legitimacy of making ICANN Legitimate in this area to to be able to show that you've brought the ccTLDs along There's I mean it's the same thing in respect to governments if you hadn't got the governments in Then how can you say that you have a you have a multi-stakeholder model? You just can't you've got what you've got as a trade organization for gtlds So there wasn't I don't think it wasn't night I don't think there was a sort of like it was really just like we have to have this and this is how we're going to get it And over time that we kind of wore we wore it down to a point where people went, okay Well, we'll accept this and and I think that's worked pretty well. You wore it down. How oh just well in various different ways by those of us who were sort of committed to the multi-stakeholder model and wanted this to work by by Empowering the the agitation from the ones on the the other end of the poll who just said not interested never do it We kind of brought the parties together. I mean Montreal was we spent I spent Bart Boswinkel from dot nl. Bernie Turcotte from dot ca and me and alahandra pesanti and Hans from Netherlands on the board spent Five days in a basement in Montreal in the Sheridan hotel in Montreal Notting out the final bits of the cc of the cc ns. Oh, and this was what time for him again 2003 Montreal and Then what had happened was that the the deal Had to go to the GAC to the governmental advisory committee to be Yes, tick endorsed and had to go to the cc tld room and had and have enough Buying from the cc tld managers in that room for us to be able to say we are now going to push the button And see if we can find the four members from each region and during that Time that afternoon there were of three or four hours The GAC chair was charil tamizi And he was obviously chairing the GAC and I was the the sort of the the the the nominated Negotiator if you like in the cc tld room and charil was Explaining to the GAC how this was all going to work and they should endorse it and I was explaining to the cc tld How it's going to work and a number of cc tld managers even at that late stage were running between the two rooms telling The GAC that it wasn't going well in the cc tld room and was telling the cc tld room It wasn't going well in the GAC. Fortunately charil and I were on Messenger with each other even messenger remember that So she how long ago it was right and and so we were able to make sure that that nothing nothing went wrong But it was touch and go and that was obviously a critical moment. Oh, yeah What were some of the others? Oh i dns. I mean i dns was was It's the thing that i'm probably The proudest of that the ccs did the fast the idn fast track because of the expansion of inclusivity Yes, I mean what happened was that we were at an an a an ap tld asia pacific tld meeting in in dubai in 2007 I think and Teresa swineheart That from I can Janice carcassan's who was then the chair of the GAC and I were at this meeting and we were in a session and the The wave of passion That came out of that room It's the first time we'd had a meeting in the asia in in the arab region in the asia pacific thing The wave of passion that came out of that room to say we this is ridiculous We cannot use the internet properly because we cannot type in our script was so amazing that At the coffee break Janice Teresa and I went stood in a at a table in the hallway with with with literally an envelope and a pen And and and wrote down how could we make this work? So that it happened quickly Knowing that a full blown policy development process would take a considerable amount of time And from there we developed the concept of having the fast track the fast track was the first time In in I can where the GAC had been prepared to actually Nominate people from the GAC to actually be on the working group the GAC's way of working previously had been we don't do that We're all in it together And you just tell us what you're doing and then we'll sort it out later But they actually agreed to put individual people on the working group we had at large So it was actually the first cross community working group in I can although we didn't call it that then And that worked to build the fast track and to make that work so that id n's were able to be to be launched Now I have a terrible memory for dates and times and I cannot remember the date it was but I do remember it was in sol And I was I was chairing the ccns. So peter dan gates rush was the chair of the board I think Avery was I don't remember. I think it was avry was gns. So chair and the board passed the resolution To launch the id n fast track And everyone in that room was in tears Because it meant so much it was an extraordinary moment There is to the lay person to the ican world. There is I think not clarity In terms of the relationship between ccs and the respective governments Yeah, well, that's that varies from cc to cc, right? So you have some ccs Who are our government like they are they are just people they're people nominated by the government and and you know china is an obvious example of that There are some ccs that are entirely entirely independent of government Now most of those are Are legacy ones that where you've got still got an individual who's running that cctld who john postel nominated Not all but most are and they are They might talk to their government, but they're entirely independent of them You have some that are academia universities running them Because a lot of john's people nominations were obviously clearly in the universities Yeah, and then and then you have the ones that have the sort of middle ground model which is usually A sort of membership based independent organization that has a good Either a liaison role government either has a liaison role or in some cases An oversight role in respect to that organization So it the the relationship varies, but if you want to run a successful cc tld You pretty much need to have a good relationship with your government So in that context chris was their concern on the part of many governments about this Involvement in iKant in those early days Well again, I think it varies from government to government. I mean there are some In those days there were some cc tlds who who Wanted Who didn't want there to be anything too Loud or too far above the parapet because their concern was if government actually wakes up to us then we're gonna we're gonna have a problem Then there were some who were you know who were government and so on. I think it was a mixed bag I think in the same way that the the cc tld managers some were for iKant some were didn't care Some were against whatever the same thing applies to governments and it still does I mean there are still you know, there are governments in the today that you know Don't feel comfortable with the iKant model and there are governments that do in this project We're obviously looking back in time But looking ahead for a moment Is it now just an automatic given that cc's are within the iKant sphere with a part of the iKant Process a part of the iKant community. Well again, I suppose it depends on what you mean I mean if you mean is it a given that that they will Speak in terms of involvement. I mean in terms of involvement. No, it's not a given. I mean a lot of cc tlds do come A lot quite a significant number do come I mean in in respect to the cc and so we've probably reached the sort of 80 20 point You know getting the last bunch of members Is much much harder than sure, you know it's changing Because of the break now of the line between cc tlds and g tlds because you've got cc tld managers running g tlds now because of the new g tlds and you've got you've got geographic Names appearing in the g tld world I think that's making Bringing the two sides if I can use that word together Stress is what holds buildings up and the stress between those two organizers g n s o and cc n s o is actually quite important because it's It's it's it binds i can together and the more the cc tld Community kind of needs to involve itself in what's going on in the g n s o world Whether it's from a protectionist points of view or from a i'm involved points of view The more we actually come together as a community now, it doesn't mean we get we necessarily agree with each other But at least we're in the same room Discussing it so in the future I think right now I think it is changing and there's much more cross community stuff than there used to be the silos are kind of breaking down You you made a point of mentioning and I think it's an interesting point that Cc involvement was a form of validation of the ican model. It contributes to the legitimacy. Absolutely. Yes Did I can see it that way in the early days? I I think some people certainly did I mean some people I think some people just felt that they had to get the cc tlds involved because they were You know 246 of them and they'd all pay money So that was good. Yeah, because there wasn't a lot of money, right? um But I think that others were clearly felt and that the cc tlds were critical from the point of view of Building the base of defensibility of the of the ican model. Um, otherwise You can't really say you you you're doing what you do because you haven't got a significant portion of the cc of the of the dns In your on your on your side Chris was there ever a concern either in the early days or right up to present That on the part of the cc operators and part of the cc community that they were taking seconds Second seat to the the genera No, they wanted to take second seat because that what they they didn't want ican to be um to be influential In the in the cc world. They wanted ican to concentrate on the gtld world Uh, and so basically the cc in the early days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah ccs were basically quite happy to have their own room And I mean there was talk at the time of you know, we'll pay we'll pay for our own room And we shouldn't take the money from ican and if you go if you go back and look at the bylaws When we when we set up the cc in there So it was critical and this took a long time to get agreed It was critical that we the ccs actually have the right to decide who their staff support is And if the ccs are not happy with that they have the right to say thanks We'll create our own and we'll pay for it And that was a really important point because people said well, we if if we're having to if ican's staff are going to be providing us with All of this stuff. Well, then we'll clearly we'll get captured. I mean it hasn't happened, of course, but then you know, we've got barbos winkels, so You expressed a great deal of pride. In fact, you wore the pride on your face when you were talking about it ends No one's been more involved in the development of ccs and bringing them within the ican world than probably you have What other points of pride do you have? Well, I'm going to answer that before I do. I think I must acknowledge The work that leslie cowley did when she took over from me as chair of the ccnso because What she did was work really hard to to to increase the membership. So she you know, I that really does need to be acknowledged um I think probably Setting it up I mean there are lessons to be learned in what everyone in all sorts of ways what everybody does I mean, I think for example one of the things that the ccs did is when we set ourselves up We got our four members And in each region and the first thing we did was a review of ourselves because we thought well This is we've now we're now here. We exist now We need to find out what we need to change in order for other people who haven't joined to to join and that first step was actually Broke down a lot of barriers because people went oh, okay, so You're not just going to close the doors and carry on but I think I mean in general terms brad I just I just think this model is so is is so interesting. It's extremely hard work But it's so interesting and so and so important as a model that that for me Having ccs actually agree to be part of it It is the most important thing. I mean, how can you I used to say this to people How can you you're in at home? Claim your right to run an independent cctld where you're not run by your government You've got a membership-based organization and you run it and you say you do outreach how can you do that at home and Claim the right to do that and then not support the equivalent model Internationally it just doesn't make sense otherwise, you know, you're it's your legitimacy that's on the line What came back at you when you were you know what it's nothing to do with that It's not it's not you it's them, you know, it's all of that stuff all the stuff about well It's not that it's about will I it is joining I can that sorry is joining the ccnso putting me in a contractual relationship with I can No, well prove it to me and when we had to have a lot of that kind of I make this claim And until you prove to me that I'm wrong I'm not going to do anything So the responsive will know actually you have to show me that your claim is right They wanted a proof of the negative proof of a negative exactly But I think you know that was a long time ago when we have a very vibrant cctld community and a lot of people who were You know very anti have now turned around and and and and a part of it And that's definitely something that I think we should all all be proud of I think I think I can should be Proud of of its relationship with the cctld community. I think the cctlds Generally are pretty proud of what they do and that's great. It's a fascinating history. Krista spame. Thank you very much Thank you


So I'm David Wong and thanks for having me in this meeting and today we're going to show you in your businesses how you can multiply it two to ten times using a fully automated lead generation system that is used for increasing your sales and increasing your revenue. Who wants to increase the revenue in the business? Who wants to do it by working harder? No right? Who wants to do it by chasing your prospects all around town? No? Who wants to do it by spending a ton of money on advertising not getting not knowing if it works? Okay good nobody raised their hand. Okay so we're going to talk about an automated system for marketing that I have developed that really works well. So basically we all have our own businesses we're self-employed or we have our own companies and we all want to grow our businesses. What is the most common problem for businesses? Most common problem is not getting exposure. You don't know where to advertise. You're getting traffic. You're buying traffic but nobody is really buying or not enough people are actually taking action on your websites.  You want to make money by helping people but you don't want to be sales you don't want to be pushy and people are buying from you but they're not spending too much they're just buying the minimum so that you're not making enough margins to have a high profit or you're spending a lot of time in your business but doesn't seem to really grow. Does it resonate with any of you? Maybe one or two of those things? Okay anything other other challenges that you're facing? You want to share? What's your view on prospecting and positioning? Right okay so there's two ways right basically number one you want to either you find a market that is hungry for a certain product and then you basically change yourself to fit that market okay or you have set up yourself to attract the market that you want to attract. Okay so here's the signs of a successful marketing system. You're spending a dollar and you're getting back $2. If you have a effective marketing system that should be your ROI. You have clients chasing you instead of you chasing them. You have ideal clients that who will work on your terms that you choose okay and you have a automated marketing system that uses technology and systems to cut down your costs lessen your headaches and so that you can spend your energy growing your business instead of running your business. So how can you free out your time so that you can focus on growing your business instead of just running it? What does their business need to make money? I'm giving you all the answers okay well traffic but not just any kind of traffic you need targeted traffic a lot of people they just buy a bunch of ads on a newspaper or put it on the front page of a magazine or they'll put it on a radio show or they're put it on a TV commercial or they'll buy a bunch of ads on a website or something like that but how do you know that the person looking at that ad listening to that radio show or watching that TV commercial actually wants your product actually is in the market for the product? Most of the time you don't you're just guessing you have to test that you have to spend a ton of money to figure out which works. That takes a lot of time a lot of money okay so what does this business need? You need traffic but you need targeted traffic that's the key. Also you need leads you need a way to convert that traffic to become leads and then you need to qualify those leads that become appointments we all know this right appointments become sales sales become repeat sales then they repeat sales you want to be able to cross sell other products with up sales and down sales higher price items lower price items and that becomes customers that becomes business pretty simple right good so why is it important to have a very robust marketing system in place because if you don't have one in place then your competition will most successful retailers right now are combining the power of a physical retail store with online e-commerce traditional sales channels are being phased out look at Tours & Res in the States they're out of business bankrupt Sears JC penny they all bankrupt because they couldn't keep up with e-commerce Millennials basically all of us here we're driving a comedy because now we prefer to buy on our phones and we prefer to buy online sometimes we go to the store but then we always we go and check out our phones see we can get a private price on Amazon right so so what's the point of having a store okay so people are going to do comparison shopping on their phones how are you going to position your business for that okay there's 800 million we chat users Chinese we chat users who uses we chat if you want to open up the Chinese market this is the way to do it if you don't have we chat then you can forget about it okay everybody who's who speaks a who's from China or Hong Kong any Asian will have we chat and we chat users use their app 814 times a day how many times they use Facebook a day Facebook app lots right or go on their website and then Facebook is saying it's 1.6 billion double that in North America alone and I think it's pretty close they use it 14 times a day too so if you want to get in front of targeted customers what's the better way 10 then the way that they are accessing information right now so social media is probably the most effective way to build your brand and to gain new long-term customers and it's a fact that 85% of all the consumer dollars spent right now in the world or not in the world in the United States and China every day is spent through e-commerce is that a surprise to you no maybe 10 years ago if you said that people will laugh at you right but now it's happening so if you're not positioning your business to take advantage of e-commerce then you are you're behind you're being hiding the game yeah I have a question and maybe you may answer it in the later slides but how do you get a sales system or an e-commerce system to apply to us you know salesmen oriented company right so I'm gonna exactly that's exactly I'm gonna talk about today how to because that's what my one of my businesses main model is okay it says it's a sales like lie in person well not in person but live salesperson has to connect with the customer because we sell eight to thirty thousand dollar packages on the phone all right two customers that never seen our product never touched our product never tested our product never tried our product okay all done basically all online


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today we have with us Prof. Ajaz Ahmad, who has come back after a long time with NewsClick. Thank you, Ajaz, for being here with us. Thank you. Very good to be back. Ajaz, Libyan situation has changed in the last couple of, last 5-6 days. Gaddafi seems to have really lost his hold on Tripoli. The National Transition Council seems to have now got at least 90 percent of the territory they claim under its control. Do you think that this situation now is going to be the one which is going to be even more difficult because this is the time that they have to stabilize Libya? Pravee, the first thing that occurs to me is that Europeans and Italians in particular are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first aerial bombing ever done in the world, when the Italians bombed in Libya in 1911. Now, of course, with 100 years of developments of the technology, there have been 20,000 aerial attacks on Libya in a matter of about three months. 20,000 is a total number of aerial attacks. Yes, Gaddafi gives that number. I was surprised that until now we had been seeing figures of 8,000 and 9,000, which is big enough. Also special forces from both France and England seems to have been a party to this. In fact, the same sources, Gaddafi and among others, tell us that they were there from the very beginning. The special forces, both Americans and British and possibly French, were there from the very beginning, well before the National Transition Council itself came into being. So, this has been really a military intervention of a great order. Now, with respect to the question that you have asked, this is the typical pattern of Afghanistan and Iraq and now in Libya. When such overwhelming Western force comes in, how can anybody stand up and fight? It's easy to win a military victory, though this one is taken about six months. So, that part was always thought to be the easier part. The more difficult part was really how to really control, quote unquote, control Libya, particularly after this kind of a military campaign. We are actually seeing a repeat a third time. Overwhelming Western force comes in. The regime crumbles. The entire military infrastructure of the Libyan forces had been completely destroyed. The news is that half of the rebel force was brought in from the seas into Tripoli by NATO. So, it's really NATO bombing that has done it and if that is what has done it, then clearly what happened in Afghanistan, what happened in Iraq would be repeated, which is to say the regime crumbles and disappears. The military had been, the military command had been decomposing from the very beginning. In fact, the prime minister of the so-called new government that is being recognized by a host of countries was the Home Minister in Gaddafi's regime and a number of military officers, senior, most senior military officers, defected and so on. According to again the Guardian, there were people who were very much in touch with the CIA and M16 and that is to say the British and American intelligence agencies and so on. So, I don't believe that there is a hidden Gaddafi army that is going to be dispersed and which is going to do the fighting. But now I think what is going to happen is this National Transition Council is a conglomerate of all kinds of people, disparate elements. One of the things that is also happening in Libya again after Afghanistan and Iraq is really a sort of restoration of the ASEAN regime. That is to say the very people in Afghanistan who were toppled by the Khalkh Revolution of 1978 became the backbone of the American intervention there and they were the people who were ultimately toppled by the Taliban and so on. So, in Iraq the same thing, it is the ASEAN regime, every prominent leader of Iraq today is part of the old Iraqi elite that was overthrown by the Vatests. Now again in Libya, the Sunni tribe and their leaders, the old monarchical elements and all of them are being brought back. So, that is one part of what is going on. The other part that is going on is that that bringing the Salussis back is also playing with America's new obsession, moderate Islam. Libya is an extremely wealthy country. $150 billion worth of Libyan assets were seized and by the western powers from the banks which is now going to come back as part of the stabilization process and part of paying off the occupiers. Libya is the largest oil producing country in Africa. Libyan Reserve Bank has 143.8 tons of gold. Is there going to be only pilfering or looting? Who will get what? Which faction of this TNC is going to get what? Libya has 100,000 worth of fresh water. Bottling agencies of Europe are sitting there looking at this water to grab who are going to get the contracts and so on. So anyway, first point regardless of ideology, regardless of anything, one big fight that is going to come is over the distribution of these spoils of war in terms of tribe, in terms of region, in terms of religious groupings and so on. I think what you are going to have is Libya, you know Libya is a country that engaged the Italians for over 20 years. Italy, Italians could never actually stabilize their rule. They could never win Libya. So you have that whole tradition and soon enough you will have an upsurge against NATO as soon as NATO comes in the ground. With its arms, without NATO arms, this kind of conglomeration is not going to hold together. They are going to need NATO arms what they are calling stabilization process. So if you look at it, so what this is what we discussed in fact when the Libyan War started, if you remember that the war against Gandalfi, the first phase could be easy that you know it is possible in the military to defeat Gandalfi. The problem would be occupying Libya because this is what really it is all about, occupation in a different way. That is going to be the far more difficult case and that is as you said the history of Libya shows that this is not never going to be easy in the past, is not going to be easy now. You see what bears repeating is that what has defeated Gandalfi are not internal forces. It is NATO that has defeated and it is only NATO that can stabilize the what comes after the war. So you really talk we're really talking about the boots on the ground which NATO said it would not put though it has put in terms of special forces but there's still very much behind the scene in that sense. But now if they put as an occupation NATO forces and if they're going to be European NATO forces I think that is going to be a far more difficult mix. Do you think that's possible or do you think they look for local allies or in the west station and other regions? Well you know I mean those kinds of discussions as obviously not in the public domain but Richard Haas for example who is a very very powerful figure has already gone public saying we need boots on the ground that is actually the phrase he uses NATO troops on the ground. By the way very interestingly that argument is also being made from the international left if you wish to call a section thereof. Gilbert Ashkar who's Lebanese leftist teaching in London has made that argument. Who has been in favour of the intervention right from the beginning? Of the invasion absolutely Juan Cole and all that so there is a section of that. So that has been that there have to be boots on the ground now is now the the general position whose boots. My guess is that to start with these will be Gulf Cooperation Council troops. One of the things to to keep in mind is that on Libya this has been Americans and the Arab League versus the African Union. So you cannot get African troops. Libya somehow has ceased to be an African country. It has suddenly become some sort of an Arab Emirate you know of some sort. So my sense is that the first contingent and by the way Qataris are there have been there already along with the Americans and the British the troops but that's going to be completely insufficient. Who are the next ones? One very unclear one country whose policy is completely unclear at this point is Turkey which is a Muslim country. The NATO is looking for Muslim troops. Turkey has the most professional army that you can find in Europe. The natural one would be Turkey. Will Turkey come in? Will Turkey not come in? There are different kinds of calculations including this is a quagmire. If you go in there you're going to be there for 30 years. Turkey on this issue has really sided with the NATO. That's right for the beginning. That is why I said that it's very hard to read which way and how far Turkey is willing to go. On this one they have sided entirely with NATO. How that plays with their social base getting Europe to invade a Muslim country. What happens to their own social base? How far they can go? We don't know. Strategically within the military would they make the calculation of being ready to be in Libya for the next 25-30 years? I don't know but my sense is that in the first the first contingent we might see would be the Gulf Feeds. Gulf Cooperation Council in the Qataris. That is not going to work. Along with that will come a whole area of what will be called experts but who will be. So you might see 5,000, 7,000 experts coming in from NATO or something like that. The Vietnam War start in the fact. Yeah. That's right. That's right. And my sense is that that is going to prove a quagmire. Not because there is some great Libyan army, Qaddafi's army spread around the country but there are just too many conflicting forces in Libya and you open this up and people are going to fight actually each other. This is a completely different stage now of interventionism. You have the Security Council passing a resolution that you should do all things necessary to protect civilians and you launch a full-scale intervention and I mean military assault and now an occupation and then you become actually the new administration avoiding this, that and the other and so on. And this is done by NATO. The implication in my view is that it is to get Libya also to become a part of the African, the American new command they have set up a new command that they have set up for Africa to which most African countries are very unwilling to offer bases and so on. So you are also at a point where they have not only invaded a third Muslim country but also really the first military foray of this kind of this level into Africa where that is using this kind of NATO license. The subservience of the members of the Security Council is astonishing. At any point any member of the Security Council permanent or non-permanent could have called for a special session saying that NATO is exceeding its they did not. So there is an acquiescence not only from Russia and China but also the non-permanent members of the Security Council like India for instance. Will this be repeated for Syria? We do not know. So it is an interesting issue that what we are seeing is the ability of the old colonial regimes if you will of course with the new imperial neo-colonial power United States being able to intervene and change regimes militarily but the ability to handle the aftermath which is what they thought would be easy with the amount of oil wealth that for instance Iraq had and Libya has that might prove the much more difficult part. Thank you very much Ajaz. We will continue to watch this as we go along and I think we will really need to see the region as a whole as it is developing in the future. Thank you very much.
