Hi, let's see what is an action potential and what are the phases of action potential. Action potential is defined as abrupt changes in the membrane potential that sweep along the cell membrane of excitable cells in response to excitation stimuli. So there are certain key terms in this definition. One is there is abrupt changes that is there is sudden change in the membrane potential. So that we'll see in the phases of action potential what is this sudden change. Then it sweeps along the cell membrane so it can travel along the cell membrane as such. So once an action potential is generated it travels as action potential along the entire cell membrane of excitable cells. So excitable cells are those which actually respond to any stimulus. So like nerve, skeletal muscles, smooth muscle basically all muscles in response to excitation stimuli. So note here that the term is excitation stimuli and not inhibition stimuli. So that again we'll see that what is the difference. So that is the definition of action potential. So this diagram is showing the phases of action potential and here x axis you see it is time in milliseconds whenever we are seeing the action potential it is very important to note the time also. So here x axis is in time in milliseconds and y axis is membrane voltage in millivolts. So now see that here the starting point this is RMP resting membrane potential which is shown as minus 70 millivolts. So there is RMP and at this point a stimulus comes. And it is an excitatory stimulus because it is causing the change in potential towards the positive you see the membrane potential is becoming less negative. So that is towards the positive side. So it is an excitatory stimuli and this is causing a graded change in potential. And once threshold is reached this red line is showing the threshold once threshold is reached action potential is fired. So basically what we are saying here is that a stimulus will lead to a graded change in potential. So what is this actually is shown in this diagram where you see that there is a certain stimulus and it is causing the graded change. Now first we'll see towards the positive side and then we'll come towards the negative side. So positive side changes in the membrane potential means that this is an excitatory stimuli and it is causing depolarization the change in potential towards positive side is known as depolarization. And you see that it is shown as a graded change that means increase in the strength of the stimulus is leading to increase in the change of the potential. But this graded change in potential is coming back towards the resting membrane potential there is no firing of the action potential until and unless it is reaching a threshold. So at this minus 55 millivolt is the threshold which is also known as the firing level and it leads to the generation of a propagated signal which is also known as the action potential as we have seen in the definition action potential sweeps along the membrane. So it is a propagated it will travel along the membrane signal. But you see here that graded change in potential can also occur towards a negative side if it is an inhibitory stimulus it will cause more and more negative change in the potential more the strength of the inhibitory signal more the change in the potential towards the negative side. So this is known as hyperpolarization the change in potential more towards the negative side compared to RMP is known as the hyperpolarization. So one thing is clear here that action potential will only occur when the change in potential is towards the positive side so threshold is towards the positive side while graded change in potential can be towards the positive side as well as towards the negative side. Now one small concept here that this thing is true for nerve but not for skeletal muscle because in a skeletal muscle whenever a skeletal muscle is stimulated by a nerve it always causes depolarization it is always an excitatory signal and never ever we see hyperpolarization. Okay let's move further so basically what we are seeing is action potential generation is basically a two-step activation. Stimulus first leads to a graded change in potential and if this graded change in potential reaches a threshold which is the firing level then there will be the generation of the action potential otherwise a change in potential will die down. Now one concept you can remember is generally this threshold is plus 15 millivolts from RMP. So you can safely assume that if RMP is minus 70 millivolts the threshold will be at minus 55 millivolts if RMP is minus 90 millivolts the threshold will be around minus 75 millivolts. So this is just a simple concept you can remember. Okay now let's move to the phases of the action potential. So this diagram same diagram which you saw earlier is shown here but with phases. So this is the site for a stimulus and there is a graded change in potential and once it reaches a threshold you see what is happening there is a abrupt change in the potential you see the slope has changed this is quite less slope and here it is almost a straight line. So this abrupt change in potential towards positive from the threshold is known as depolarization phase of the action potential. Now when this depolarization phase crosses 0 millivolt that means it has become so positive that the membrane inside now has become positive with respect to outside it's known as this part is known as overshoot. So see here that it is the membrane is becoming less and less negative with respect to outside right RMPs membrane is minus 70 millivolt negative with respect to outside. So here it is becoming less and less negative and once it crosses 0 millivolt the membrane has become positive with respect to outside so this component is known as overshoot. Then up to that the potential again starts to come back to resting membrane potential so this phase is known as repolarization phase. So remember this term that when the potential is coming back towards the resting membrane potential from the depolarized state it is known as repolarization because RMP said that it is membrane is polarized membrane is polarized. So coming back towards the polarized state is known as repolarization. Now you see this repolarization phase slope is little less than that the depolarization phase depolarization is almost like a spike. So that's why action potential is also known as spike potential or it is an impulse. So this is the reason because of the slope of the depolarization phase it is so quick. Anyways now once it reaches towards the resting membrane potential what happens that the potential does not stop there instead it becomes more negative. So this change in potential towards more negative than the resting membrane potential is known as hyperpolarization phase of action potential and after that slowly it comes back again to the resting membrane potential. So till now we focused on the change in the membrane voltage but we have not spoken about the time. Now you see the time taken for the action potential is how much it is so less right. So in neuron the duration of action potential is only around 1 to 3 milliseconds it is so less 1 to 3 milliseconds starts and finishes. However in skeletal muscle it ranges from 3 to 5 milliseconds and so whenever you are drawing this diagram please also focus your attention to the time frame in which you are drawing the phases of the action potential. Okay before finishing I think we should have a look on what is refractory period. See the term refractory means that the cell the excitable cell becomes unresponsive to a stimulus that is the English meaning of the term refractory. So there are two types of refractory period there is absolute refractory period now this absolute refractory period starts from the beginning of the action potential till about two-third of repolarization phases finish. So from here to here is absolute refractory period meaning absolute meaning that if another stimulus comes see we are telling stimulus has come here. So suppose there is another stimulus which comes here while action potential is going on there will not be any new action potential it is absolute refractory doesn't respond to any stimulus during this phase so that is absolute refractory period. Then there is relative refractory period relative refractory period is from the end of absolute refractory period to the end of the action potential. So as the term indicates refractory obviously it is unresponsive but relative refractory that means it will respond to a stimulus but not to a normal stimulus it will respond to a higher strength of stimulus during this time. So we need supra threshold stimulus for stimulating an excitable cell during this relative refractory period. So guys that's all for phases of action potential and the refractory period in this video. So thanks for watching if you like the video don't forget to subscribe to the channel Physiology Open. Thank you.


Ayo Fat Joe, what's up, bruh? I know I got one pair, but I need the other ones.  How did I not end up on the list? But it's okay, I still got a pair. I'm gonna be giving you guys a review of the Terra Squad Air Force Ones. There's some nostalgic memories behind this shoe and I cannot wait to show you guys all the details because I know they look basic, but trust me, these things are nice. Oh yeah, and if you didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is the DNA show. So with all that being said, let's go ahead and take it to the studio so I can give you guys a review. So here we have it, the Terra Squad Air Force Ones. Now one thing that I love about these already, they're giving us nostalgic vibes when it comes to the box. For all my old sneaker heads from the early 2000s, y'all remember these boxes. Looking at the size tag, it reads Air Force One Low, Quick Strike, Terra Squad, New York, White Porpoise, size 12. Just for me, y'all know if you know, you saw my YouTube video where I went and bought these at SneakerCon. Okay, so the Terra Squad Air Force One. Right here it says ASK is 500. People are offering 200. There's no sales on this one, but if I look at like other sizes and prices, oh that's a 13, it's a size 12. Okay, so people are around like 260. So after fees, that's like above 200 or something like that. So the dude over there, he wants 300 for the pair. Hold on, let's take a sit down for this one. Look at the background. This is icy! Okay, so the guy wants 300 for the Terra Squad Air Force One, as the picture I just showed you. That shoe is like a nostalgic sneaker from the past. Okay.  Do they re-release it? They're releasing them now for the first time to the public. Okay.  Oh, a white and blue. The ice blue ones. And there's other ones too. So he wants 300. The question is, is that nostalgic enough to go into the booth? It's our early release. They haven't came out yet. Is it worth the cop? It's above market asking sale right now, like based off of like actual offers. But at the same time where I sneaker con, I'm making a video, da-da-da, like, is it worth me doing it for the video? Do I pay the extra 50 or whatever? Or do I try to get it for retail? You know, where do I go from this situation? It's like what, 50 bucks extra? Yeah, and that's the thing. It's not like I'm paying a lot extra, but around market. So it's over a 50. Okay. Maybe I'll be like, eh. Okay. The 50's not that bad. Okay. I think it's a cop. Let's go get the shoes. Unbox them. These are clean. You like them? Yeah. Wait a minute, Tia, real quick. I gotta go. I give them a 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Woo! Now lift and open the lid right here. I love this right here. Given that nostalgic vibe again, with the paper, with the stars all over. 1982 on the print right here. And peeling back the paper, you got the shoe. Oh, you got the shoe. So first impression of the shoe right here, the materials on this shoe is really, really nice. And I know they look like a very, very basic sneaker, but I was like, you know what? We should still do a review because there's a lot of cool details and materials and I think you guys need to check these out with some nice crispy shots. So like typical fashion on this channel, you already know we start with the bottom of the sneaker and work our way up. So let's go ahead and get into it. Looking at the outsole right here, you got your classic Air Force One outsole, translucent vibes and you got that icy sole to it, kind of matching and vibing with the upper. Now going up to the midsole right here, you got that pure white and instead of a white stitch, you have a UNC or an icy blue or whatever the size tag says on here, that same blue that matches with the back panel right here, that's gonna be the same color on the stitching. Now looking at the upper, like I said, materials on this shoe, these things are nice. So starting with the back end of the foot right here around the heel area, you got that TerraSquad branding with the little drip right there, the TS. This is just so nostalgic for me because I remember seeing these Air Force Ones back in the day and he has a bunch of different Air Force Ones by the way. He also had TerraSquad Jordans, which I might've had a couple of those in my collection at the time or two, but either way. So as you can see right here on the back panel, again, classic color blocking from that early 2000s era, you got that blue color tint right here on the swoosh in the back panel and around the heel area. And then on the back end right here, it looks like it says JC for Joey Crack. And then on the front end of the foot right here, you got the all white premium tumbled leather feeling so clean. It's kind of got of a sheen to it. It's not as like, I feel like it's a little bit duller on the back end compared to the white leather on the front, but I still think that's fine. It's still a nice look. Kinda given that certified Loverboy Air Force One vibe when it comes to the materials and how they put the shoe together, I think those two are not exactly the same, but you know, just more of an elevated Air Force One compared to your typical white on white. Now these come standard with a pair of all white laces and then you have the Dubraise right here in the front end Air Force One 1982. And then going up to the tongue, you got the white patch with the blue stitch Nike Air Force One right here. And then on the insoles, same thing, you got that UNC blue, I keep calling it UNC powder blue, whatever kind of blue they call it. They got that on the insole right here with the white Nike air. And then one part that I love about shoes, the sock liner. Like it's just doused in that buttery leather. And when you put the shoe on, it just feels so much better, so much more premium. It's just a nice feel when you're rocking a shoe with that leather sock liner. Now like I was talking about earlier, these come with a pair of standard white laces, but you have that same blue color that matches the upper that goes for the laces. Now I think it might be a dope switchup to switch the laces, but y'all know me, I keep it classic, I stay standard with it. I'm rocking the all white laces, real clean right there with the upper just vibing out, but I do think the blue would look really good. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. So after seeing some detailed shots of this shoe, let me know what you guys think down below. And you know me, I'm always interested to see what everybody else thinks. So I post the poll on my story, and then I get the results and I post them here on the channel. So if you haven't already, make sure you follow me on IG so you can participate in the polls every time. Now, this is what the people said. When I asked them if it was fire or trash. 64% of the people chose fire and 36% of the people chose trash. And honestly, it makes sense, I get it. It's an Air Force One, there's a lot of shoes coming out, retail price points are high. There's so many different reasons why somebody could like it or not like it. I don't think it's like a top 10 sneaker of the year type thing, but I definitely think that it's a fire shoe. I think it's a great addition to the collection, a great addition to the rotation, a collector's piece. I think this checks a lot of boxes overall at the end of the day when it comes to these. I ain't tried them all yet, so I don't know if the 12 is going to work, but either way, I'm gonna find a pair of my size. I'm excited to hear what you guys think. And if you guys wanna see any other reviews on this channel, hit that subscribe button. We got plenty more bangers dropping soon. And man, we got some cool events pulling up too.

When it comes to sneakers, scaling, real estate, you name it, we talk about all of it in there.  I give away shoes literally way too much, honestly. But either way, I'll see you guys on the inside. Hit the link down below in my description or pinned in the comment section for DJ Sneakerhead Academy. And I'll see you guys over there. Hey, man. The only choice I like to make what I'm aware today. I will never let you down and send my DNA. The only choice I like to make what I'm aware today. I was made for it. It's in the DNA.


We explain how you can stay calm when flying. This is Simon. He can't wait to finally see his girlfriend again. But when he gets to the check-in, his excitement is suddenly gone. Beads of sweat start to form on his forehead. Soon he's in the plane and he's scared. But what is happening in his body? In evolutionary terms, this reaction is a logical protective reaction produced by our body. We sense something and the body reacts immediately without our conscious control. Hormones such as adrenaline are released. Picture a caveman who meets a saber-toothed tiger. In an instant he has to be able to fight or flee. His body recognizes the danger and immediately provides energy. Increased heart rate, shallow breathing. Blood rushes from the brain to the arms and legs. Digestive activities are minimized. Stomach is tense. His pupils dilate. Saliva becomes thicker and he gets sweaty palms. The caveman defeats the saber-toothed tiger with all his energy and then has a rest. But since Simon is sitting in the plane, all this energy bothers him.  He can't think clearly anymore and his control over his feelings has been lost. Since Simon also doesn't want to start a fight with his fellow passengers, he tries finding another way to get a grip on himself. Simon tries to calm himself and relax his stomach. He shakes his hands, shoulders and head. He takes a deep breath and lets the blood rush back into his brain. Now he has control over his body and he can spend the rest of the flight talking to his neighbor. When Simon finally sees his girlfriend, the process starts all over again. But that's probably for another reason. Before his return flight, Simon practices how to keep his physical reactions under control. For example, the swing set gives him a very similar feeling to take off. At that moment, he gives a long, powerful exhale. Simon also does short sprints, quickly turning and coming to a sudden halt. Dizziness and a rapid heartbeat can be controlled with his breathing. This helps him get used to all the symptoms and know that he can change them. Before the flight, he does a lot of sport so that he has as little adrenaline left as possible. Now when he's in the plane, he can concentrate on more important things instead.


The New York Times just endorsed the Mediterranean diet as the best in the entire world, but let's talk about why everybody's arguing and it just kind of is getting political. The Mediterranean diet really is that good for you. Here's why I just had a Greek solid for lunch. We got to talk about it. Andrew, this sparked a bunch of political debates and maybe it even is tied to why nobody can agree on anything in America in 2024. So make sure you like, subscribe and turn on notifications. But do you know what fits within a very delicious diet? Drizzle small sauce onto your food to make it taste better. It will add a little bit of mala and aromatics to any dish. Check it out. Hey, from Sichuanas, Sicily. Andrew, Sicily, part of the Mediterranean. Wow, is this part of the Mediterranean diet? Honestly, this was not that good of an article by the New York Times because they were basically saying, yeah, the Mediterranean diet is so good for you. Everybody should adopt it. And of course, Andrew, this sparked a lot of feelings from a lot of people. A lot of what we're not even related to diet. Right. But also I just feel like it depends on what your goals are and that should determine what diet you should eat. Obviously, what is available? What are your goals? Do you want to get buff?  Do you just want to lose weight? I don't know. There's like a million different ways to get everything done.  But I just don't know why the New York Times was like, yeah, the Mediterranean, the best one. It's rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, lean proteins and healthy fats. They have a protective effect on your cardiovascular health. Now, David, people did point out that there was a lot of inconsistencies with this article. What is considered Mediterranean? Are they talking about avocados and salmon, two things that are actually not that common in the Mediterranean? They don't even exist. Right. So then a lot of people are like, wait, what's up with this article? What is it? What is it even the Mediterranean diet now? Like you like, you know? Yeah, basically people were pointing out that Americans conception of the Mediterranean diet is based off researchers going to Greek and Italian islands in the 1950s studying lower middle class Fisher villages. Basically, that's what their diet was to a 10 out of 10 level. And then basically bring it over to America and then replacing out items that obviously didn't exist in the Mediterranean, such as salmon and avocado. This sounds pretty outdated. If you're talking about the 1950s, guys, I'm not going to lie. There's been a lot of health discovery since then. And not only I Andrew, almost everybody was thin back then because there really wasn't a lot of processed food in existence. Right. Right. Right. So yeah, anyway, we're going to get into it. Why is this such a Western debate?  Like, why does it need to have like a region of superiority stamped on it? And I'm really surprised that New York Times even try to like pick a region. Well, well, it's not even that New York Times try to come up with a good diet. It says that there's nothing new that they said like they really did not they they made this article almost like the de facto diet. Here we go guys. And everybody's like, yeah, we're doing new this like everybody's been talking about this stuff for like decades. What are you talking about? It's not even it is true and it's not true. It food gets political because your diet and what you grow up eating is oftentimes tied to your culture. David, Asians eat a lot of rice over the past decade. It is true. A lot of people have come out and a lot of true science has said that maybe you shouldn't eat that much rice. A lot of Asians have lived very healthy lives eating rice all the time now. But maybe there's other things about their lifestyle that allowed them to be very healthy. Or maybe rice isn't that bad for you. I don't know really. A lot of people were pointing out Andrew Okinawans actually live longer and healthier than Mediterranean's. But how come the New York Times didn't endorse the Okinawan diet? Right. Because what if a New York Times released the Okinawan diet, the best diet in the world? You know what I mean? Then people are Asians. We've got to listen to the Asians and stuff like that.  And now you're being told that those are inferior to your health. While I'll be honest, obviously there are certain foods we all know are worse for your health if you eat it in high amounts. But there are people of every culture who have lived very long healthy lives. That is true. Yeah. I guess if they would have called it the 1950s Greek Islander diet, would that have been way more logical? Because that's what they were eating in the 1950s in the Greek islands. Eat like a fisherman in the 1950s. That's what you're trying to say. Wow. Extremely easy for us to do nowadays. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I think that the reason why like the comments section like devolves into this crazy like tribalistic wars or whatever in 2024 between vegans versus meat eaters, Hindus versus Muslims on whether or not to be for pork. What else was in there? African Americans were very angry that obviously the New York Times is endorsing another, you know, white European diet as superior man. Oh, Andrew, some women were mad in the comments section that the study in that from the 1950s only focused on men. Great job, New York Times. You guys really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one. Yeah. David, what do people like you've done a lot of research. Everybody's done a lot of research. You guys let us know in the comments down below if you've done research on actually how to lose weight and live a healthy life. But what is the easiest, simplest thing that people need to just know about dieting? Just seco. C I C O calories in calories out. Basically, you just have a calorie number that is your maintenance. You can either go in a surplus or you can go in a deficit.   Now, where do you get those calories from? It does matter to arterial health, cardiovascular health. You know what I mean? Like sodium, blood pressure, right? Getting getting all your calories throughout the day just from French fries only is not exactly the same as getting your calories from a bunch of fruits, veggies and meat. Right, right. Nutrient dense food. But, but as far as losing weight, calories in calories out is going to be the main factor, but that doesn't mean you're super healthy. Right, right. So basically, I guess what this study was talking about was that arterial health is really good in that region due to olive oil increasing blood flow or something like that. Like basically, but it is true. Basically, if you just eat lean, clean and green, or if you just eat less, eat better and walk more, you will be fine if you follow those essentially literally just those two things that rhyme. Those sound pretty simple, but I guess America can't do it. They just can't do it. Like we said, there's all this tribalism in the comment section. Anyway, let's get into the comment section Andrew. It turned into an argument about European socialism versus American capitalism. Oh, guess what? They get free healthcare over there. They get mandatory paid vacations because it is true, Andrew, in Europe they take more vacay time because they take more like trains and they walk more because I guess the cities are more dense, right? Even though they're shorter, there's less skyscrapers. And then people were just talking about the economies. But I guess what I'm saying is like America, you can make a lot of money, but it is true that interestingly enough, America is the richest country. There's a lot of process things here too, right? Because a lot of the commercial food industry here, they want to make money off the production of food. Right. Like it's privatized. Right, right, right. But I guess they're saying in Europe a lot of things are like farm to table because that's like they never like really hypercommercialize their food industries. So I guess, I don't know. And then people are arguing about that. Of course, Andrew, people are arguing about the definition of the Mediterranean diet because how can the Mediterranean diet in 2024 and America mean avocados and salmon? Those don't even exist in the Mediterranean. Like people on the Mediterranean might never have even eaten those things. Yeah. I mean, I guess is this is this just an American, Andrew, like wrong interpretation of like, you know, like Americans have bad geography where they're just like, yeah, those Mediterranean's, that's what they eat. Yeah, I think so. I think it was almost like had this person been to the Mediterranean to write this article or something. I don't know. Yeah. What do you think about people arguing over beef, Andrew? There's a big argument over the raising of cattle right now from everything from their farts, creating methane, burning away the Earth's ozone to like obviously some people have religious things against beef, some people have religious things against pork hormones. And I think it's more of a, I think the issue is not really that it's just cows in itself or red meat or like, you know, red meat is actually not as bad for you if you just don't eat a insane amount of it. Like I think if you eat a insane amount of just apples, you're going to gain weight because apples have a lot of calories. Everybody always says, oh, don't drink orange juice.  And I'm just like, well, you can't eat too much of anything.  But it is true that certain things like for example, lean beef is much more nutrient dense than orange juice. Sure. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's more filling, right?  Also, I think a lot of people tend to think like if you're the type of person that eats a lot of meat, how are you cooking that meat? Are you frying it? Are you burning it? Are you barbecuing it? So there's all these carcinogens. Are you covering it in batter, which is carbs, right?  Yeah, if you're just like boiling meat, that's probably a pretty healthy way to eat it, to be honest, but that's not appealing to a lot of people. All right, this next comment section getting spicy for New York Times, I'm telling you. Somebody said, my soul food diet has gotten my ancestors through slavery and is doing perfectly fine by me. A lot of arguing about health outcomes. And then somebody said, I hope we can realize that this sort of headline is not without consequence. Exalting one region's pattern of eating as the best doesn't do much to honor various cultures and preferences. We should reconsider this whitewash nutrition reporting. I don't even like taking the politics out of it in the cultural list out of it, obviously, because as an Asian person, as a Chinese person, I can easily say, oh, they're being like, how come they're putting the men attorney and diet over the Japanese or the Chinese diet or the Korean diet? You know what I mean? Where people live healthy over there. It's like, it's not really about like, even the diet. Yeah, the girl could eat soul food. But yeah, if you eat too much soul food is not going to be good for you. But if you, maybe she doesn't eat too much, and maybe she has a high metabolism, so it's fine for her. You know what I mean? So it's just like, it can work so many different ways. And I understand why like, people just want, this is the classic like American healthcare where it's like, hey, this is a good diet. You should just eat this.  Right.  And they're Mediterranean. Yeah, eating pizzas. Pizzas are incredibly caloric dense. Yeah. It's just like super caloric. It's just about what else you're doing with your life and how much you're eating. Somebody said, guess what? I got bad news for you Mediterranean diet lovers. Andrew fish is high in heavy metals and nanoplastics because the oceans are polluted or the fish go through high stress and salmon farms in Norway where they're all crammed up together, you know, and those like big tanks or whatever those nets. So that's even bad for you because then you're going to get all the stress from the animal. Dude, everything can be bad for you. Everything is good and everything is bad. I don't know. This person said, try all you can. You can't beat your genetics. Enjoy. Eat what you enjoy. I kind of actually disagree with this. It's true. If you eat a lot of caloric dense foods that have no nutrients, that's generally not a good way to live your life. Like if you eat foods that are really low in nutrients like macronutrients or micronutrients and then that is really caloric dense, it's not going to fill you up and it's going to pull you full of calorie caloric surplus and a lot of actually. All right. So yes, most diseases in America are related to caloric surplus. Right. Like more than like where you got the calories from. Okay. Because there's like a linkage between everything. It's really easy to eat a lot of bad foods to get into a surplus. If you eat lean green and clean, it's really hard to get to a super bad surplus unless you're just like packing your stomach. Right. Right. I guess, David, why can't there be in the future? Isn't there some type of body scan that can scan your body and your genetics and then you just take a quick quiz and then it basically just don't they do that again? They just tell you what to eat because everybody's different. Right. Even a micro gut biome and things like that. Like, oh, everybody's body has different allergies and things like that. Yeah, foods may give you diarrhea. It doesn't give me diarrhea. So our diets got to be different. Yeah. Some people are allergic to nutritious foods. Yeah. But it seems like, isn't it funny that the comment section just turned into like almost like identarian, like more than just like, no, I don't like, I mean, do you find this? Some people found this article offensive. I don't find it offensive as much as it's just incomplete and it's simplified. Yeah, it seemed like it was from 19, like, yeah, it's almost like, where'd you pull this out of the archives of like the 1980s? Like, oh, Mediterranean diet. Have you heard of it? Ah, so new. Greek salad with some nuts on it. Right. Yeah. I don't even like Greek salads. Yeah. I can't eat the Greek salad. It's not going to work for me because I don't like how they taste. Greek food is great, but the Greek salad, whack. Oh, man, I got it. I'd rather like arugula. Somebody said, yep, it's because everything in America is not natural. This nation wants us to have high blood pressure so they can put us on big pharma, blood pressure pills. They wouldn't do that in Europe. Other people are blaming it on conspiracy theories from big pharma in collusion with the refined carb companies, Andrew. What do you think? So basically, they're saying they just don't have that industrial complex set up in Europe, but they have it in America. Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's possible. They do things differently over there. I just think, man, after watching all these health videos, I was like, man, everything you're bought bottled water has gotten nanoplastics in it. Don't drink bottled water. Don't eat this. Don't eat that. Don't eat eggs with hormones, only cage free. I don't know, man. Of course, Andrew, then it turned into man, you know, not everybody, of course, just healthy eating is basically healthy eating.  Okinawan actually has a lot of Chinese. No, I get that the meta saying just eat the Mediterranean diet is an easy way. If someone has to just be like, I don't know what diet to adopt. Okay, Mediterranean, they said it, you know, I guess it's not like wrong. Right. And then people are talking about, oh, food deserts, this type of food isn't accessible to everybody. I don't know. Yes and no. I think that the commercialization of food in America could make it more or less difficult, but now there's food delivery and stuff like that. I don't really buy that in the richest country in the world. You can't eat healthy. It's like people don't have those patterns of behavior to eat healthy. Oh, dude, America is like the best place. Well, I don't know. I mean, depending on where you live in America, things are more available. But still, you can pretty much eat what you want. You can get hummus anywhere if you want. Yeah, and what are your takeaways, man? How come this discussion turned into like, ding, is that just everything nowadays? It's great. In the comments section, there's not a lot of talking about seco calories in calories out.  At the end of the day, man, it just depends on what you want to do with your life, because in America if you want to eat healthy, I don't care where you live, you can do it. If you try, it may not be, it may not be, you may have to go there, you got to order food from this and that, but like probably in 95% of America, you can pretty much just eat whatever, however you want if you try. And so it's just about, about what your goals are, right?  Do you want to be super shredded? That's going to be a little bit different than if you just want to walk around and have like good cardiovascular. Well, you, to have good cardiovascular, you got to do some cardio actually.  Right. Well, because you're not getting any calories out. Yeah. So yeah, the calories might be coming from a good place, but it's like, it's still not going to, still going to suffer. Yeah.  I don't get this conversation, man. I'm shocked that in America, with the best like universities, the most money, everybody is still just so caught up in maintaining their lifestyle and justifying their lifestyle and then demonizing somebody else's lifestyle that that's, but then everybody's fat. But do people argue about exercise the same way? I see some people argue about like lifting weights versus like slow burn stuff. Yeah. Versus cardio versus lifting weights. Okay. There's that trend right now. Just set your incline on seven and walk for 20 minutes on speed six. Sure. Yeah. Why not? Probably not bad for you. Get your need in. I mean, it might speed up your need a little bit. But at the end of the day, man, I just think that that's where we're at right now. We're almost like over complicating everything and like articles about this turning the article comments about that. And that's just where we're at right now. Let us know what you guys think it is in the comments section below. I think it's this man. People want to live how they want and not be accountable for their outcomes. I think that's fair. I think that's what people want. So I guess people just don't want to feel ashamed of whatever they're doing.  Anyway guys, let us know what you think in the comments section below. Until next time, we're the hop hop boys. We out. Peace.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another counterside videos. Today's video we are going to discuss Awakened CEO Yun's strategy and build but before that if you want an updated counterside videos, please hit the subscribe button down below. Alright guys so here we are at the CEO Yun's profile so she's called ultra aggressive. I don't know what that means but sounds cool then you have her as a counter definitely an Awakened SSR and an Awakened Ranger ground type and she is all around attack which means she can attack both air and ground. Then for her stats guys she has a couple of strengths namely her HP which is 38,097 which is actually above average. Her attack is also high at 5,340 then her crit is at above average at 7,22. Her weaknesses would be her defense, evasion, and hit rate. Defense would be 6,95. Hit rate would be 9,20 and your evasion would be 5,90. All of them are at below average guys. So let's go to her skills right now.  So levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 will give her a total of a plus 20 percent additional damage. Her passive skill guys is arm synchronization which is an AOE. Valid hits is 2, increases skill cooldown by 8 seconds for all enemies in a 7 meter radius in front and knocks them backwards. Okay so for those who are healing teams, this is not gonna work for you. So might as well keep the healers out of her way and after every third basic attack she delivers an enhanced attack summons up to 4 telekinetic rifles and increases her telekinetic rifles attack by 5% for 12 seconds with a max of a plus 25%. Okay so these telekinetic rifles take damage for her. CEO Yun moves backwards when her HP drops to 70% or below. So she basically increases her distance between the enemies falls back with HP going below 70 and knocking surrounding enemies backward in her facing direction. So the opposite direction then summons one additional telekinetic rifle. Her attack speed guys increases from level 2, 3, and 4 with a maximum of 20% and her level 5 passive evasion is activated again if HP drops to 40 or below. So there will be two passive activations at level 40 and at level 70. Okay so she's very she's very evasive. She I think based on this one she will be high on survivability. Next would be her special skill which is divine slash. It's a 21 second cooldown special skill with valid hits of three. Swings mistletoe inflicting AOE damage on enemies in front. So I see a big spear actually behind her I don't know if it's a spear or something but looks like a spear. The afflicted enemies can't recover health for 9 seconds. Again very serious for your healers. In gauntlet they receive as much damage as their healing amount. So again it's best not to put out any healers when she's around. Possession ships excluded. Level 1 level 2, 3, 4 is a damage of a plus 25%. Then you have a debuff duration of plus six seconds for your special skill. Okay next is going to be your ultimate skill. This side I'm not sure how to pronounce this is dice side cleaver. Okay let's leave it be guys. So it's a 52 second cooldown with valid hits of three. Concentrates energy into missile time and slows it in a straight line inflicting AOE damage. Multiple times. The first attack randomly removes one non-permanent buff from the affected target additionally summons a telekinetic rifle after this skill. So damage for this skill increases at the maximum of a 25% up to so level 2, 3, and 4. Then for level 5 her ultimate is going to be a special and ultimate skills also activate passive. So again for her passive alone guys she's going to be a beast and overall she is going to wreck havoc particularly now in PvP where I was able to use her earlier and I'm very happy how she performed. Let's go first to her gear management and see what type of gear she actually needs. I actually had to look for her gear. I actually swapped them out for another unit because I was doing the um danger close earlier but now I have her kind of her temporary gear as of the moment but they're all CDR or skill cooldown or skill haste so basically what I'm saying is she's going to perform well with CDR gear skill cooldown gear and preferably her second this one the yellow one that's running around preferably it's going to be skill haste as well. Okay if you want to go the route of all attack speed it can be done as well but you have to have a skill haste for this yellow skill here. Okay so again gear set you're gonna have a choice of CDR or attack speed but your gear stat here again for the second to the last line should be skill haste to compensate for um the attack speed for gear set or to add to add additional skill haste if your gear set is CDR already so ideally for for say you or awaken say you your t6 gears should be a maze gear at this point that is what is available to us because it has anti ground damage and anti ground damage resistance both for weapon and armor and for her accessory it should be um gorgeous crown because um you're gonna have to make sure that for example this stat this uh the first stat up here should be hip so again if it's going to be gorgeous movement it's going to be evasion as well so it's go it should be as you can see it's gorgeous movement that i have extra i don't have a choice i have to put it on her so it's evasion but if it's gorgeous crown this evasion is going to be hit okay so let's take a look at guys her or what they call this her skills how to deploy her in more or less some tips on how to play her especially for pvp okay um i did a couple of runs for her in pvp mostly she is deployed right after your defender or somebody in front of her probably striker or defender she is actually very good against um other defenders because she's a ranger deals a lot of damage as you can see a lot of telekinetic rifles are appearing and i wouldn't want to face her guys she's going to she's going to basically um strip you down of any armor that you have because of all the firepower that she is bringing so again she ideally she'll be deployed earlier um right behind a defender to you know take advantage of the buffs or sorry of the debuffs that she gives to the opponent to the other side so as you can see there let's take a look at her uh special skill so that's it then your um ultimate it's going to be beautiful guys as you can see there she throws missile time i'm not sure i'm saying it right i hope i do but again very good skill and and and based on the gear that you saw her when she had evasion she had a little bit of survivability but again evasion is not going to fit her she should have hit for her accessory as the primary stat again she needs to have her hit increased so anyway she's going to jump at the back once her hp goes down and more or less that is it guys she is very simple to deploy very very easy to use she is actually survivable on her own but again you still have to keep her alive so as you can see here let's just summon a couple of air and ground units here and turn on the ai so both of them are going forward so as you can see she can hit air and ground units and pushes them back actually if you can see there so there's a pushback that is why i realized that when you have an opposing awakened seiyun you are being pushed back really so again let's take a look at her ultimate skill the last time before i give you guys my final thoughts okay so we're done here and let's get out okay guys so as for seiyun well she's the best ranger that we have number one number two she is going to provide a new dynamic which defenders have been dominating so far you have hildae you have awakened hildae you have awakened now you've been a lot of defenders have come out which are very good you have serappel you have dominik king so again she will be a big threat she will be a big threat to your mechs your healing teams those who are addicted to a lot of healers in their teams they're going to regret building you know healing teams at this point for pve guys she's going to be superb in pve probably 11 over 10 she will be good in shadow palace if you pair her especially with with a yuna the two of them can really clear that um stage or that or that content very fast and if you're going to bring her in pvp she's going to be a 10 out of 10 she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve again increase in cooldown for the enemy anti heal debuffs and again she will make a lot of units cry so again for those who are bringing abraham to you know to the battlefield especially in pvp so you might as well make sure that she's banned for that week okay she's gonna be she's gonna be really really really uh you know hard to deal with um i've encountered her previously in pvp and again even if you if you have your own you still have to deal with the other um uh we can see you and on on the other side so again amazing unit to have um really really happy that i got her today and hope that you also got her from your summons okay guys so um for those who have stayed this far in this video please consider subscribing also please click that bell icon and also put a like to this video guys take care stay safe this is the warden and i am out of here
