Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most kind. I wanted to take a few minutes of your time today to say Ramadan Mubarak, may Allah bless us all with a spiritual and blessed month. Our fastings be accepted, our Ibadats be raised to heaven every single night, and we be kind of our hearts and mindful of our tongues. In our series to introduce some of the converts in the recent years, MCC is trying to focus every Saturday on one person who has impacted one of us in our personal way or in our mosque. And today I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of my favorite people, Georgia. So Georgia plays many roles in my life. She's my mentor because although she's much younger than I am, she has taught me that once you set your mind to be guided towards Allah swt, you find ways towards Him. And He opens doors of ease and mercy and raises you. She inspires me to be a better Muslim every day and I hope her story will inspire you as well. Georgia is a daughter to me. She's a part of my family and we have grown to appreciate and this Ramadan we are very sad that we don't get to see her just yet. We're hoping that by Eid we will be able to visit with her and she can come over. And more than anything, Georgia is a friend with whom I giggle and we share lots of common things about books and shows and what crazy stuff we have been up to. So without any further ado, I will introduce you to Georgia and ask her to give us a little background on who she is. So let's see, general background about me. I grew up in the Bay Area. I'm going to college right now for creative producing for film and television and I converted officially at MCC two and a half years ago, I believe. So yeah, that's a quick background about me. What's your passion, Georgia? I'll tell everybody about that because I think it's very fascinating. I love writing and producing like TV and films.  And so I just, I love telling stories, however, whatever form and representation is also really important to me. So I hope to be able to write and tell lots of different people's stories so people can see themselves on screen. And I'm very excited for Georgia to step into this field. I think Muslim representation by a female is definitely needed and we're very excited to soon see it's Georgia's name and go to her on. So please keep her in your duos. So today, because it's Ramadan, it's actually first of Ramadan right after Juma Salah that we are sitting to chat. And so Georgia, I just wanted to ask you, what was your first Ramadan like? What was good? What was hard? You know, tell us a little bit about your first experience. Yeah. So my first Ramadan that like I actually fasted for was three years ago. So when I was a senior in high school, I had been kind of studying Islam for about a year. But the previous Ramadan, I just didn't really know what to do. So I hadn't done much. So my first official one, it was still before it took Shahada, but that's when I fasted for the whole month. And that was it was it was good. And it was also very hard because I was not connected to any community yet. I didn't I hadn't really found a masjid that I felt kind of comfortable and at home in. So it most of most of the month was just me fasting by myself in my house. And it was it was it was senior year and it was graduation. It was all the senior year things that were happening. And so I still managed to like fast through all of those. And my friends were very, very supportive. They I think made me feel very they they never, you know, made fun of me or anything for fasting. They were always very encouraging. They always would count me down until my grip time. Like they would make a really big thing out of it and like, oh, yeah, she can finally eat. And it was just kind of a joke that like whenever we would go somewhere to the movies or we'd go to an event, I would just have a massive amount of food in my bag. So that when my group time hit, I just straight up brought out like a tough way of like rice and beans and like a massive water bottle. And it's just like wherever we are, it doesn't matter. I'm just going to I'm going to start eating now because I'm hungry. But yeah, so my I even though I didn't have Muslim community, my my close friends, all of whom were non-Muslim or super supportive and super helpful and kind of made made that part of Ramadan fun. And I think it's near the end of that Ramadan that I actually reached out to MCC East Bay. And that is when I got connected with Munir and Humira. And so that was that was really great. And I wish I had done that sooner. But yeah, just to remind everybody that Georgia was not a converted Muslim. She had done tons of research. The first time I met her, my I was blown away by how much Mashallah she knew. And in my heart, it was like she's already a Muslim. She she practices like like anybody who has was born into it or who has done a lot of research into it. She was doing Salwa. She was she knew a lot of the all the Irkans. She was she had fasted this whole month all alone without any support. That was just amazing to me. And I think that was our first meeting and our first connection. And since then, it has been a little bond that I hope to continue will flourish as time goes on. So also another thing that was that since then, what about your second experience in Ramadan or after converting? How did you feel was the community supportive of you? Did you feel that your needs were being met? Or what would you like us as a community to improve upon? Yeah, I think I think the big difference for me between like my first Ramadan and the next ones were not even not even really taking the Shahada that made that much of a difference, but me seeking and like kind of attaching myself to a masjid because before I mean because I was a teenager, I didn't have a driver's license. You know, it's hard to get places anyway. But before I just didn't have a community, so once I found one like MCC that I felt comfortable in, then it was like, oh, okay, I need to like look at all the events they're doing and see if I can make any of these. And also going off to college, there was some student association, so there are a couple things, a couple of events that we had. But I think for converts, how masjids can accommodate them, I would say is just be really open-minded and easy going. That it's really hard too fast. It's really hard to pray five times a day and like a convert might want to fast Ramadan, even if they've only been studying for six months and they might not even have enough time to pray for six months and they might not even have all five prayers down yet, but just to kind of meet them where they're at, which I think MCC East Bay and a lot of mosques are good at, but just making sure it's community members. You're not like, oh, it's your first Ramadan. Well, you're going to pray in the mosque every night, you're going to go to Taht-O-Wee and like I didn't even know what Taht-O-Wee was. I don't think I prayed Taht-O-Wee until like my second Ramadan, which is good because people can start Ramadan because so many born Muslims are excited about all the Sunnah that you can do during the month. It's like, well, you got to slow down with converts, just help them focus on the farth because they don't even understand all of that yet sometimes. So yeah, and just knowing that if there are converts in your community, just being proactive about reaching out to them and inviting them to iftars and especially Eid, Ramadan can be really lonely as a convert, but Eid especially can be just so sad when you don't have, like I always threw an Eid party with kind of my friends and my family, none of them Muslim, but I would just make food and just like put up decorations and but it's just different when you're able to have just a Muslim like family to celebrate it with. And so that was really nice that I've been able, after I met Humair, I've been able to celebrate all the Eids with her and that just makes a world of a difference because it's, you know, you finally get that celebration, you get that community and kind of feeling like you're really, you know, you get to experience with all the other like born Muslims talk about because a lot of born Muslims are like, Ramadan is all about Tarawee and then Eid and we're going out and it's all like fun and converts. We're like, oh, we don't know, we don't know what you're talking about. So just being proactive, I think and reaching out to them because I know I was really shy and really hesitant to reach out or to ask for help or anything because I didn't really know what a Masjid could offer. Those are some valuable gems that you have sent our way and I hope that the community, not only of Pleasanton but other mosques do embrace that and are more welcoming and connect converts to families, you know, so that they have their own little, they have a bigger community and then they have a smaller family that they can connect to, call upon, go break bread with and stuff like that. It has been an immense pleasure having you have read with us since then. And so one of the things I wanted to ask you was now that it's, you have spent three Ramadan's on and off at MCC, you know, at school you were not here throughout all Ramadan last two years. So what was your favorite memory?  Yeah, I thought, I had to think a lot about this question because I was like, oh my gosh, I have to run through everything but I think what clearly stands out in my mind is last year Ramadan was finally like kind of during the school year, it'd been mainly in summer but last year kind of half of it was in the school year and so my school's Muslim Student Association put on just a massive iftar for kind of the whole university Muslim community and that was probably just the best experience because I like, it was an iftar where I finally like knew everyone because even going to MCC, going to all their events, mashallah, just great events but just because I am not able to spend a lot of time at MCC I just don't know people that well, especially people my age, I just don't know them. So last year when I had them going to MSA for two years so I really knew most of the people who were in it, I knew a lot of the Muslim professors and so to actually be able, that was only my third or fourth community iftar ever that I'd been to in three Ramadan's and so to be able to go to that and to be able to say hi to everyone and to everyone who's talking to you and praying together and just eating together, it was so fun and I finally kind of understood like, oh this is what born Muslims get like every night because they have all their family over and they have their friends and they go to IHOP with their friends at 5am and like all of that experience that born Muslims have told me about I was like, oh like this is it, this is fine this is really cool. So yeah, that was definitely a very special moment, yeah. Well that does sound like a lot of fun and I wish you were able to do that this year too and I was hoping that we would not be in shelter in place and we would get to do some kiams together and go for, you know, Sahur maybe to Mirchi or IHOP this year but he was like, we will not be able to but inshallah let's hope that a loveless is us with more Ramadan's together and we can do that. Another question that was put forward to me to ask you is that what advice do you have to the converts? Some of the converts that we have in our community are very, very new. There might be just a few weeks, a couple of months this might be their first Ramadan. What advice would you like to give them? I would say the main thing is to just like go easy on yourself like don't beat yourself up too much. If you've never fasted before it's really hard so if you don't make every single one like that's okay it might feel, you might feel like you're you know not comparing to born Muslims. If you know born Muslims you might feel like you're kind of like failing or not meeting a certain standard but like really go easy on yourself first Ramadan. And like I said before like don't worry about tadawi, don't worry about any of the sunnahs just focus on like if you're not there yet with the five prayers then try to get there fast as you're able to do lots and lots of research about like what foods are the most helpful. Because sometimes born Muslims the foods they eat during Ramadan are not the best for fasting. So if you're fasting with born Muslims they might be like you know breaking their fast with like fried food you know like lots of samosas and stuff like that and if you've never fasted before and you're not used to it fried food can wreck your stomach.  And also be honest that you're fasting with whoever you're living with whether it's your family whether whoever it is they're going to figure out that something's up and it's best if it's safe for you to do so to just be like yeah I'm actually I'm doing this I'm fasting. Yeah that's and it's also a good way to kind of start introducing the fact that you are Muslim to other people it's kind of a good segue because there's never really a time if someone has known you for a long time for you to be like pop this new thing on them unless you look differently.  Tell me how is this Ramadan coming along with shelter in place being at home still have school full-on finals coming up you know not being able to come to the mosque how are you handling all of those those stresses? I'm the law I mean shelter in place definitely not ideal but I mean I've had Ramadan's like this before so like this isn't super different for me you know so it's yeah I think it'll it is I wish of course that I could go to the masjid more now that I have a driver's license I can drive I could have gone anytime I was thinking about that I was like ah um but it's okay um yeah so I think I think this Ramadan is gonna be it's gonna be different for all of us but not too different um for me and I think I'm just trying to focus on yeah just going going easy on myself. Are there any lectures or any programs that you're excited to listen to during this Ramadan? I made a playlist of lectures my goal inshallah was to kind of listen to like one lecture every day from like a bunch of different um places but this Ramadan I'm actually all my lectures are ustadas and sheikhas so they're all women that I'm listening to and I really sometimes if you don't know the scholars you really have to dig through YouTube to find these but I think part of like the last year I have had I've definitely struggled with my faith and and feeling a little bit disconnected and I think one way as sisters that we can reconnect is you know being able to listen to female scholars and that because I think for any women converts when I was converting I listened to kind of all like the internet famous like sheikhs and all of that which is not a bad thing but I got a very one very specific point of view of Islam and it was always from men's point of view and so I think I'm trying this Ramadan to really connect with kind of the female scholarship that exists in our faith because it does exist and it's awesome mashallah so I would really recommend any female converts to you know look into talks with women quran recitation by women that's also something that can be challenging to find but it's out there it exists um one of my favorite ustadas mariam amir abrahimi I'm going to pronounce your last name wrong you're pronouncing it right okay okay yeah she she's um and a scholar from uh southern california and uh she's just amazing and she is having this Ramadan uh like movement to encourage women to like post videos of themselves for citing quran so that you know the next generation of women knows that the quran is is open to them it's for them to um yeah so she's she's a really cool person that I've been following and so she's so energetic she is so energetic I've been able to meet her once in person and listen to her speak and she's she's just amazing very talented oh mashallah how about sharing that list with us you know because I also struggle with that thing thing that as you said that um it's very easy to alhamdulillah there are many resources to find um in our times now this time asked me when 15 years ago or 20 years ago when I was a mom with young kids it was very hard to find resources that you could sit home and still be inspired by these great scholars male or female and female scholarship was not very prominent at that time at all so we are very blessed that we live in these times where through internet and instagram and facebook and zoom we we have access to mashallah scholars from all around the world so I would love for you to share that with me um and with that note I just wanted to say we miss you terribly we hope to see you soon even if we can social distance appropriately and so I hope we can do that um just this morning we were discussing that um Eid we have to somehow manage to see each other and and um at least wish one another I wish you a blessed Ramadan Georgia and um let me know if you need anything and let mcc meneer myself we are all here at the service of anybody who needs just a year to listen to just a helping hand take care that is


Really quick before the video starts, I asked that if you haven't already, go check out my video from yesterday on the non-reaction channel. It's not monetized or anything, but I just want you to hear what I have to say about Akira Toriyama and the profound respect I have for that man, especially because today's reaction wouldn't exist without him, and Broly was an absolutely, a spectacle for the eyes, and you'll see it based off my reaction. But that being said, enjoy the video. Despite the fact that we have finished Dragon Ball Super and the insaneness that the Tournament of Power was, it is finally time for a reaction that I know a lot of you have been waiting for. Dragon Ball Super, Broly. Though I watched the abridged version of Broly way back, and I'm pretty sure this is relatively the same guy that Ford told Saiyan that's just a buff monster that he is. Outside of that, not really sure anything else about him, to be honest, but I do have a big mug for a big guy. Yes, I will be comically drinking out of that the entire reaction.  Thank you very much, and let's get into my reaction to Broly. Planet Vegeta. Oh my, I just spoke coffee already. Oh, it's over. Oh, it's all over. This is a bad omen. I figured it was 41 years ago. Planet Vegeta still exists. Raccoon, that's my goal with the Ginyu Squad. Oh, it's Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta? Wait, this has something to do with Broly? And I also do know, I've been told that this movie takes place after the Tournament of Power. Like, this is canonically is going to take place after the Tournament of Power and Super. I like the animation style a lot. It's clean. Do the pose, yeah. The shadowing in this already is nuts.  That's where Frieza takes over, I see. You'll find that my son has a short temper, and is even more cold-hearted than I am. What? No! Hello, monkeys! We get started early. I hope you live up to them. Oh my gosh, man. Right away, he knew they were boned. Oh, shoot. Scouters. It appears that a number of Saiyans currently have weapons trained on them. Wait, what? Just in case? As a battle power of...  Oh my, oh my! Damn, he's setting the tone! I wonder why we're doing, like, seeing this, though. Dude, he sounds exactly like Vegeta. How dare they share a bunk bed? That's... Wait, Broly was here?  Oh, was he here canonically? Or is this, like, a retcon? His power level actually far exceeded himself. Illeties are quite remarkable. And King Vegeta can't ignore it. He will grow to be an outstanding...  Yeah. Oh, wait, but did King Vegeta, like, not want he wanted his son to be the one? Understand, you plan to send Broly away. What's this? So this pod will be destined for... His father? That's a fate meant for a lower-class warrior, not my son. Oh... They send him off to Venbor himself? This destination is the planetoid vampire. It's an inhospitable world devoid... They send him there?! When that time comes, there'll be a danger not just to the planet... So they just isolated him? They basically executed a child. ...dialing him to a faraway world and not simply ending his life.  He's a baby! You're jealous! Yeah! Dang, dude. So wait, is this the canon story of Broly? He was there, but he was exiled? Oh my gosh. Through his son to another planet. Bro, that is so sad. Did he go after him? I love how he just brought this poor random scout along with him. Would be stronger than Vegeta. This guy's just living with him now? He would be killed! Oh, dang. He was a little bit late, man. Vegeta's gone. King Vegeta. What an intro. Imagine how different things would be if King Vegeta had never exiled Broly, though. I mean, how old would Broly had been whenever Frieza exterminated the Saiyan race or destroyed planet Vegeta? There he is! A little gift cup. Ooh, that's a clean title card. Brother! This is like the planet from SpongeBob when they're delivering the pizza! Oh no, does his dad not make it? Oh, they did. No, they made it.  So they already had information on Frieza. This planet isn't happening. What are those, man? What the? Oh no. They don't even take blaster damage. Oh! They're gigantic. I totally forgot about that, too.  I'm surprised that these things didn't just eat little baby Broly alive. Like grass. Oh no. Is it like their nest? Oh my God. What is this? Bro, what? What?  Oh, there are parasites feeding on it. Broly! Bro! Why the fin for himself? Oh my gosh, are those eggs? Did he just eat their eggs to survive? Little baby Broly! He's alive! He's so small. That's my boy! Nothing makes a Saiyan dad prouder. Oh, they don't have a way off. They just have to live there. Time to make some difficult decisions. Eat the child. Bro! Same with five years. Bardock! Wait, are they changing the way this happened, too? Is this the day that they destroy this planet, Vegeta? Hmm. I like how he doesn't even seem that's like worked out about it either. Oh, about Broly. The Super Saiyan. Are they retconning like how everything happened with Bardock? Because it seems like the day that he destroys planet Vegeta. And he asked about the Super Saiyan because like I said, it's a loose end. That could be a problem later on. Oh no. Gine. Is Gine Goku's mom? So he's still here, but Vegeta isn't even here. Still small, huh? You're all Saiyans! Which means for better or worse, it's sick hairstyle. He wants to role-play Broly. So in this, he just got a hunch about it and he thought it could have been Goku. He's just carrying his pod. Poor Goku. My Kakarot. Broly. He's still crying. Bro, this is so sad actually. I can imagine looking my son in the eyes. He doesn't understand. Bro. So I think in the original Broly, he hated Goku what? Because he cried? This they never even met as kids. Bro, I cannot imagine being a parent and just saying goodbye to my child. He's like a baby still, especially.  He's not scared of Saiyan races as a whole. He's more scared of these Super Saiyans, rightfully so.  I mean, evil but smart, but he was too late. Just straight up made a nuke. So Pardoc Squad wasn't killed. He was just like, huh, that's crazy. Frieza's like, got everybody here, grouped up. Wonder what'll happen to them. They just, they just ate it. Oh my gosh. I almost liked this retelling more. I don't know. I guess like the tension of him seeing his crew wiped out and like slowly coming to realization made more sense. But okay. Now I got to see what we went back this far to see the origins of Broly too and how this is, this is telling the story. And he just sees zero. Oh, wait, is this who Vegeta's with? Yup. There he is. Who's with him? Well, I guess we're pretty. Reddits! Oh, never get to be King Vegeta. Oh, yeah. I wonder if he got blown up too. Bro! That's Vegeta. Oh my gosh. Well, we have heard that because weren't they already off-planet? I like how the adults were all like, oh my gosh, we lost everything and the kids were like, I do not care. And there's Broly eating, I don't want to know what that is. What is that? A pod. Oh, that's Kakarot. Oh, when he got to Earth, I see. The history of Dragon Ball. So I think this will, this says present day, I think this is like right after the tournament of power. Oh my, oh my gosh. Oh, little Bola. So inherently Goku, does he have Ultra Instinct? Like unlock? I don't really know. Especially if this is after the tournament of power. I really like the art style of this movie. It's so different. It's a sand. He doesn't like destroying either. Okay, yeah. This is right after the tournament of power. What is Frieza up to? Yup. Yup. When he decides to like train some more, yeah. Trunks. Oh my gosh. Oh wait, somebody actually broke in. Oh, it was 100% pilaf. A million percent. Oh wait, they're right there. What? What? Oh, I actually thought like Trunks just like, they like destroyed the lab and that was it. Frieza sending people in to steal the Dragon Balls? Tournament of power ends and he just gets to scheming right away. Did she just mean like Antarctica? Absolutely not. Somebody that could babysit? She was actually hoping he would say no. Oh, should have come with a man. What would Frieza be stealing the Dragon Balls for though? It's like just having them is important. Just in case you need them. Oh my gosh. Just because you look so old. It's almost like you need an ancient dragon to do that. Girl, I don't blame you. I love Goku's laugh. There he is. What is he planning? What is he scheming? Well, Frieza actually wasted no time after the tournament of power. This is hilarious. Oh, even he doesn't know. His sail curling up. So he doesn't want immortality. What do you want? I feel like just more power in general. You can't wish for that, I don't think. There's no way. Is she right? What? Oh my gosh. We're like second born Frieza. He's tall. What? That's not even that much. That's exactly what I said. I would like to be taller in my normal form, you nitty. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, why only five? Wait, it's literally the same as Friggin' Bulma's. Oh my gosh, there's no way. This is so funny, man. Our orders are to recruit as many warriors as we can to rebuild the force. Rebuilding the Frieza force? I'm not a soldier type, so I've only ever seen him on the video. I hear he's tiny. Not for long. What's that? That is Broly's planet. Is that his father? Is he alive? I'll use my scouter. Dude, I want to see what number he sees if he sees Broly. I'm guessing they've just been eating these bugs all these years. Oh, dude, there he is. He's a big boy now. Oh my gosh. He can't even read it. Yeah, dude, we got some big over recruits. Look at his face. He's like, bro, all I've eaten all these years is bugs. Do I want one of these to eat? I think his taste buds would explode. How do you get the scars? It's food, son. It's food. Bro, in comparison to what he's been eating. Wow, not even a thanks. Bro, he's primitive. Wait, does he meet Frieza? No way. Oh shoot. He pushed the floating thing. I can control him using this remote device. Oh, he's scared of it.  What are those? Is that money? What? Are you aware that your homeworld, Planet Vegeta, was regrettably destroyed? Regrettably destroyed. Oh, unexpected meteor. Oh, so they have no clue. Yeah, because he wouldn't care. He didn't like King Vegeta. Did you know that King Vegeta's son, Vegeta the Four, is still alive? Oh. He sees the perfect opportunity to use them. But yeah, I did not think Frieza would be such a big part of this movie. The tournament ends and he already schemes, man. Oh my gosh. You're looking much better. He looks clean. Where's your battle uniform? It's hard to move in. It's not that bad once you get used to it. Oh my... Nah, he looks slick. Fur around your waist, though. No, he looks cool. Seriously, what was the last time you... You have some story with it. Oh, Broly looks so sad. Oh. And he just stands there.  Thank you. I realize he would have lost it. Poor Broly, man. He grew up on that planet. Wait, did someone yoink it? Did she just yoink the switch? Oh, no. This is a cute little trio, though. What is this? It looks like water. Ordinary water. He just drank like the juices inside the bugs, all those ears. I still want to know what Frieza paid them in. That was good water. This is Ba's ear. Me and Ba got along well back home. Oh. Is that his pet? Oh, my gosh. Did he kill Ba? Oh, my gosh, bro. I mean, they had to do what they had to do to survive. The hatred of King Vegeta also kind of festered that. There it is. Oh, how to get wedged in there. Oh, my. He's briefing Paragus. Classic. Paragus is fine with that. He hates Vegeta. Ideos meal.  Oh, my gosh. They have little coats. Is there a sab on it? He's throwing the snow. Pretty right at them to just book it. Like it's nothing. Oh, my gosh. He's like a bull. Oh, there's Papa. I just like how anytime Whis could really just step in and make a huge impact. I mean, he has no reason to. Oh, my gosh. I mean, would his father even want the shotcaller on him if they are to fight? Their eyes meet. He's seen. He recognized him right away. Looks exactly like his father. Nowhere near as tall, though. Risa. He knew it. He's got them all. Well, they know nothing, huh? You tell them, Bulma. Whis can tell. Yeah, especially because they are Saiyans. I am Paragus. When Paragus even care if he knew the truth, he hated Vegeta. Your father did a great disservice condemning the poor boy to a repugnant world. Tell me one thing. What's repugnant mean? Oh. I swear you will pay Vegeta. Is Paragus going to fight? Come on. We're all Saiyans here. We're all Saiyans here?  So, Goku's saying that just makes it worse. Shoot. Dude, the bold colors just do it so well. Gio's still got his arms folded. He needs that collar off, man. This might end up being a pretty good warm-up. Damn. Do you feel like the impact of the poem? Oh my gosh. Oh, he is adapting. Vegeta, just go Super Saiyan, man. This shot him to a mountain. Is this like his aura? Oh, there he goes. Oh, I really like the way they did that, though. So mystical. It's like the way Broly sees it for the first time, a Super Saiyan. What did she just do? He has no idea. That's certainly a disappointment. Oh my God, Paragus is just going to implode whenever he sees Goku do it. Can you do that, Broly? I know. Even base Vegeta was kicking him around. Nice. Dude, where is Goku? I get that they like their 1v1s, but man. Actually, this is kind of Vegeta's fight. There he is. Goku's just getting hype. Gone! Vegeta's going gone. He's getting way faster now. I think Goku isn't inherently more power, but it is like mostly speed. Wear him out. Oh my God! I kind of feel bad for Broly, man. I don't know what I'm supposed to. Like, all this hatred built up is rightfully so from King Vegeta. They're just going to leave? That was some slick animation, though. He's going to start to lose it, but he doesn't have the button anymore. Oh. He's like scared. I almost feel bad for Paragus, too. Uh, Vegeta? No! He continues. His eye. It looks like a Super Saiyan aura. I know Corrin's pumping those bad boys out. It's like aura, but not his hair. He fires a laser beam out of his mouth. It's beautiful. Come on, Goku. Get in there, man. Did you realize that I actually might need him? Oh, it's the strength of a grape. Oh, great ape. I see. The MC's stepping in. Dude, this movie looks so fluid, man. The frames. He's like getting himself amped. Oh. Did they call her break? Oh, it did. He's a big busta now. I mean, until Goku leaves base, I won't see him as taking it too seriously. Oh, we got Broly's POV? Damn! I feel like scaring Goku. Oh, my God. Bro! What are they singing? Vegeta recovering? Waiting for his entrance? Oh, my God. You get to feel like the punches in this movie. Like, the sound effects are done really well. Oh! Going to God. I want to see him. I wonder if he needs UI. I think he's controlling the fight relatively well, though. Oh. Oh. Giving him a life lesson? I can't believe he's actually restraining him. Oh, shoot, his aura. Man, pushing Goku's aura. Ew. That's like WWE. I'm surprised Frieza isn't just like way over there just doing his wish already. Okay, they've got him. Oh, they're leaving.  Oh, my God.  Frieza crotch shot? If he lost Broly too. Oh, my gosh. Oh, but he said it'll all be over. He's not worried about losing his son. He's worried about losing his weapon. Damn, Paragus. Oh, my gosh. He's like the Hulk, man. He's throwing Goku's in the original movie like Drogos head through the wall. I remember that, and I remember him holding him by the skull, like just limp. Damn. He bodied him.  I can't believe he foretold this. Piccolo. Damn, he looks like excited to hurt him. Oh, my gosh. I've never seen this effect before. Dang, bro. And it's all gone. It's like destroyed Namek now. What King Vegeta said might actually have been the truth. I'll put the legends here. He's super saying. Danger to us all. Wow. He's like, maybe I see why King Vegeta sent us away. Do you think he's really finished this time? I love this commentary. Oh, seeing one of our Saiyans push their limit, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. This is so standard Frieza. Oh, no. I love how he literally thought back to Krillin. He's like, oh, that's how I got Goku there. Yo, that's the same effect from Kale. When she entered that rage form. They're like expanding colors. It's a machine. And all the colors going back in. Absorbing. I love how Frieza, the head of all this, it only makes sense, man.  What are you talking about? Says you. Yes, sir. Oh, my God. He just throws them any chance he gets. Oh, my God. They actually went to Piccolo? The name of the multiverse. My goodness, Piccolo. Oh, shoot. I learned it once upon a time. I forgot it. Why proposing like that? He's still beating Frieza down, bro. That's what you asked for. Oh, my. He just wall ran off of him. Bro might actually awaken something in Frieza. He's got to put his dog down. Why do I feel... They're doing it. Oh, wait. Oh, Piccolo's like showing him. Wait, so why didn't him and Piccolo fuse right there? Do you have to like do a certain thing? Oh, he missed the finger, dude. But Piccolo also noticed that he missed. Is that going to actually be like a... Oh, it's like go tanks. Quite again in 30 minutes. 30 minutes? Hey, man. I mean, honestly, take your time. Frieza's getting beat down. I'm surprised he hasn't just run yet. All the fingers. They touched? What? Oh, my.  There is no way. It has to be that precise? Oh, my God. Shortly this time. Perfect. Perfect form. Vegeta's just like glad that nobody has a camera. I'm waiting for them to just make another bit out of it. Oh, Piccolo smiled. He's beautiful. His name would definitely make us sound much cooler. Oh, my. How about Gojita? Gojita. So, Vegeta was like more Vegeta than Goku. Is this still more Vegeta? I don't really understand like who's personality or if it just becomes like a new personality altogether. There he is. Kakarot and Vegeta have merged together to take Broly Dash. Speak to like third person kind of? Oh, yeah. I guess Frieza's never even seen Vegeta. Not fair. Not fair. I really like the like the fusion design. Even Whis is jumping around? Nah, he's just playing with Broly. I gotta say that anytime Whis could do whatever he wants. Oh, shoot. Oh, my goodness. We got a soundtrack again, baby. They're saying Gojita. Oh, my. Okay, it's just overkill, bro. You got one single target. The soundtrack goes dumb. This reminds me a lot of Destroyed Navek. The surf's off. Where are they? It is a mix of 3D though. I like it. My god, bro. A blue Gojita. Where are they running to? Oh, shoot. The transmission. He reflected it. How is he not just obliterating him? Gojita. Gojita. We get a Shinrona. Oh, my God. Frieza's going to get pissed. Not his five centimeters. What is she going to wish for? Also, how did she know how to do it? Oh, she's forcing him. I was going to say, she had no idea how it even worked. Bro, the aura. When they actually go like, hey, man, do you like feel that shit? That's like an impact frame. That's an impact scene. I don't know why.  It doesn't even seem close. Amba. We saw it coming. You better dodge. Why me? Come on. She did it. That would have killed him. That would have annihilated him. He's good. Oh, my. Oh, my gosh. She actually came in clutch though. Bro, where's Frieza? God damn. Gojita. Gojita. Oh, yeah. They better leave now before Frieza just obliterates them. They're going to go right to Broly probably. I feel like Gojita absolutely crushes Frieza's skull. And he knows that. I will be back for this planet one day. Okay, buddy. All right. Damn. Gojita goes crazy. He's still babysitting. Looks like everything turned out all right. I wonder if he was like ready to step in just in case because of how bad things got. You know, these have been the most exciting few days I've had. So the original Broly movie is retconned. Is this like all canon? Even the stuff with Bardock? Like is the original Bardock stuff retconned? Just destroying another planet. Just destroying another planet. Yep. I'm surprised to even admit that to be honest. Can Frieza really himself not get any stronger? Hey, bud. How you feeling? So Paragus is like dead, dead, right? Goku. Is like the light behind him? Did he pull his hammer out? There's no way. Goku's such a simple creature. Oh, shoot. There could be a goddamn mall in those. Nice. A little home and Senzu beans. It's like a peace offering. They don't work against illnesses aware. He's like giving them the lore. He sneezed because they were talking about him. It's kind of like Broly is home. I like how much she took after Broly and cares for him. Both of them. Dragon Ball. Hell yeah. Actually, that ending goes crazy. I won't even lie. Oh my gosh. The animation in that was insane. Is there a post credits or anything? What are we looking at here? It's like no post credits scene. My goodness bro, the animation in that movie like for like 30 or 40 straight minutes did not stop. Like it just popped like crazy. Gojita. Gojita. Oh my goodness gracious. I also, like I said, I love how Frieza was a part of it. And honestly, this movie just kind of makes me sad. Sad for the fact that Dragon Ball Super has not continued on. Like because now like if this is actually canon and this is how Broly is like a part of the world it would be really cool to see both like his place and like I said, whenever the tournament of power into Jiren's place and all of it because it's these insanely powerful characters that we've grown to know and that can really give it to Goku and Vegeta and push them further. And like I said, like Frieza just being a part of the usual shenanigans again and him still not caring about messing with Earth. Knowing about Beerus and Whis just chilling on Earth. He's like, I do not care. I'm going there. I'm going to be taller. And like while I'm at it I'll just unleash this legendary sand at the same time. Of course he didn't know how strong Broly was but dude the highlight for sure was them just dumping Broly on the Frieza and just Broly just beating him down. It was amazing. But this like the movie front to back like kept me on the edge of my seat like not even just the art style but whenever Dragon Ball can do just talking scenes and making them very engaging and make characters that are engaging like Paragus is like sort of revenge story. It's like whenever you feel bad for characters for the same time you don't. Paragus being the perfect example. His literal son was sent off to another planet just shipped off and he had to just deal with it. Of course he would have this crazy revenge path. I would too Bro. If you say you wouldn't you're lying.   Now would it drive me to virtually abuse my son? Not really. But I also see like what happened there if you know what I mean. I see how damaged he was as a human and poor Paragus honestly probably gets this happy ending of sorts. Paragus just gets shot and that's it. Like Gigi's sorry man. He would just use the push him further. But I just I can't get over both the art style and like I said the sound effects were just done very well and I like how the soundtrack just had something to do with the fights like it starts off like gah garah whenever Goku first starts fighting and it just gets further and further all the way to Gojita. Oh my gosh man. Yeah that one will sit with me for a while. That was pretty gas. That was pretty gas. All built up to the very end and giving Broly some friends along the way is very nice. But like I said just making me want more out of this world of Dragon Ball but we'll just have to wait and see because the next installment is what? Daima? We'll see how that goes. Guys that has been it for my reaction to Dragon Ball Super Broly. Enjoy the heck out of it and I get it now. I get the hype now. Guys that's been it for me. I hope you did enjoy and I'll see you in the next one. Peace, peace.

My name is Lieutenant Kirkland and I'm a first assignment instructor pilot here at the 33rd Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base.  And it's also one of my favorite things I experienced as a student and so now being on the instructor side and getting to watch a student experience one of my favorite flights that I had is incredibly rewarding. As an instructor pilot I get to see the students go from knowing little to nothing about aviation all the way to being winged aviators now. It was the awesome instructors that I had as a student that made faping a very exciting opportunity that I've enjoyed thoroughly so far. What I would tell someone who is thinking about coming to Vance and being an instructor pilot is that it is difficult, it is challenging, the days can be long, but when you see the students finally the light bulb turns on in their head or they finally get the landing I couldn't imagine doing anything else.


You know, those are not God's values, and Christians have always, always, always been opposed to the values of the world.


This study evaluated the accuracy of Landsat-8 satellite imagery for mapping tree canopy cover, TCC, and above-ground biomass AGB in a woodland area in Burkina Faso. The study found that multi-temporal imagery and variable selection produced the most accurate results when creating models for both TCC and AGB. The models had coefficients of determination of 0.77 for TCC, root mean square error equals 8.9%, and 0.57 for AGB, root mean square error equals 17.6 tons per hectare. These results suggest that this method could be applied to other woodlands with sufficient reference data. This article was authored by Martin Carlson, Madeline Ostwald, Heather Reese, and others.
