Aliens Earth�s Future is Not Written in Stone
by Edward Morgan
Extraterrestrial beings from other �realities� are reaching out to humans on planet Earth
in order to raise our consciousness to become a self-responsible civilization and save us
from self-destruction: Such is the basic premise behind Rahma, a contact group which says it�s
been communicating with aliens since 1974.
Rahma comes from the words Rah (sun) and ma (earth): the title is based on the group�s
main concept that with knowledge, the sun�s love will radiate on the earth and through
its beings.
In order to receive messages from more advanced civilizations, we must also become more advanced,
the group�s tenets argue.
And that means that we will need to become true individuals, and realize that all humankind
and life on earth is interconnected.
It is then that we will be able to perceive the divine light and higher consciousness
that is already within us all.
Rahma came into being in 1974, in Peru, in the living room of a young man named Sixto
Paz Wells.
The son of a UFO researcher who at a young age experienced a life-changing accident,
forever altering his perception of the higher power, Wells says he first came into contact
with extraterrestrials when he along with his mother and sister received a psychographic
message in their home in Lima:
�This home�s living room is adequate for communication.
My name is Oxalc and I�m from Morlen, which you call Ganymede, one of the moons of Jupiter.
We can have contact with you.
You will see us soon�.
Not your average after-dinner conversation.
Sixto and friends gathered the next night and were contacted again, telepathically � each
receiving the same message � that instructed the group to meet in the Chilca desert of
Peru.
It was there, in February 1974, that the group first witnessed the presence of extra terrestrials
as a spaceship darted through the sky and all individuals received the same message
once again, this time stating that there would be more attempts at contact.
In the coming decades, the Rahma group asserts that it�s been in contact with a number
of extraterrestrials.
Beginning at first with a series of UFO sightings at designated spots that had been communicated
to the group, but then becoming more intimate.
Rahma Group continues to gain experience with contacting extraterrestrials, and adopting
more and more members each year � mostly based in Latin America.
However the group�s base is expanding across our globe.
In June of 1974, Sixto claims to have been invited aboard a spacecraft by the extraterrestrials
he�d been in contact with.
He says they took him to Jupiter�s moon Ganymede, just a bit larger than Mercury and
a satellite that has been proven to contain water, where he spent approximately five days
communicating with the inhabitants, humans who live within elaborate glass domes in order
to exist in the moon�s atmosphere.
The individuals say they are originally from the Orion constellation, relocated to settlements
on Ganymede.
Sixto has described in depth his experience with Oxalc in a number of interviews, from
his first moments aboard the spacecraft, to the messages received from the extraterrestrials.
He says the extraterrestrials have the technology �to dematerialize an individual, canceling
both his molecular cohesion and his atomic weight to project him to another place�.
This is how he came to visit a moon 373 million miles away in a seemingly short period of
time.
�Oxalc showed me a series of images of what the future of the Earth could be like.
What I could see is that the world�s tension was such that it was attracting the perilous
possibility that an asteroid or comet would pass so close that it could be affected gravitationally�.
�The purpose of this journey was to alert others through young people willing to commit
themselves with the message about the need to change, beginning from within each individual
in order to generate a chain reaction that would revert the planetary future.�
In 2015, Sixto visited Washington DC to meet with the National Press Club, where he argued
that information leaked by whistleblower and former CIA employee Edward Snowden contains
proof that the United States government has for decades been covering up its communication
with extraterrestrials.
Sixto also has met with academic groups from the United Nations and has presented at Columbia
University.
Musician Evaristo Infante is part of the Rahma Group�s Mexico chapter, which is in its
initial stages.
�We are beginning to collect our own evidence with the messages, sightings, dreams, visions
that we�ve been receiving from these beings,� Infante said.
�Comparing it to the group of Sixto Paz that started this whole experience, the new
group doesn�t have to go the same way other groups have.
We have observed that the communication with the guides (extraterrestrials) is more open
and fluid than in the times of Sixto�.
�Times are changing and accelerating and the interaction with the beings is evolving
and getting closer than ever�.
Rahma group believes humans are multidimensional beings, and that there is a cosmic plan in
motion, which has a destiny of great transcendence reserved for the human being.
�The awareness of this must start with oneself and then radiate to our neighbor,� Infante
says.
Meditation
In order to reach a higher level of consciousness, which according to the Rahma Group is required
to communicate with extraterrestrials, members around the world meditate.
They meet in public spaces, some of which are known to contain a hotbed of cosmic activity,
such as the Teotihuac�n pyramids outside of Mexico City.
There, they meditate collectively and hope to receive messages.
In some cases, Infante says, the group will take photos of the surrounding area after
meditation, only to look at them later and notice UFOs.
Positive thinking and creating our own reality:
�One has to believe it in order to create it�, says Sixto Paz Wells in an interview
on the Oscar Magosi website (a famed Canadian contactee).
�The human mind is powerful and if many of us agree with the same intention and with
faith, we can make it.
But what is important is to change our attitude before life.
We must be more optimistic, positive and constructive.� Being open to the light of knowledge and understanding:
�Old concepts that still permeate human society are no longer part of our thinking
due to the light of knowledge, understanding and experience of it that renders them obsolete,�
Infante says.
�And it would be no surprise that many people would go off the deep end or become frightened
once they know that what they had thought about Life, people, god, their religions is
not reality.
Existence is truly more infinite than we ever conceived possible.�
The Multidimensional Reality
Infante describes the basic beliefs of Rahma in terms of the multidimensional reality as
such:
�The knowingness that we are and we always have been Eternal Energy Essence Beings (Spirits)
and we are having multiple simultaneous physical and Non- Physical existences.
Death is never an issue since in greater terms there is no �dead.�
The Knowingness that we were never alone in this multiverse.
That humanity will become an outstanding, peaceful, intelligent and powerful civilization
despite the seeming outside �evidence.� That we don�t have to go through our evolution
process the hard way alone.
That extraterrestrial Civilizations have been assisting us throughout the ages.
That becoming aware of these facts increases the probability of open contact directly with
their civilizations.
That we have multidimensional abilities that we have ignored either by ignorance or by
denial.
That we are aspects of what we on Earth call �God� experiencing itself through our
unique eyes.� In the four decades of Rahma�s existence,
the group has continued to explore its own truths and respond to its increasing vat of
knowledge and experiences.
�We don�t claim to know everything but we do have a piece of the puzzle and other
individuals and groups around the world that don�t have anything to do with Rahma are
doing similar activities as us,� Infante says.
�They are having their own experiences and coming forth with similar information with
different pieces of this cosmic puzzle�.
�In other words those groups are corroborating what we have come to understand in our experience
and we are doing the same thing for them, and at the same time we are complementing
each other with the different information that each of us are bringing to the foreground
of the consciousness of humankind.
�In the end, the more we know the less we know.
But now our traversing through life is clearer and full of true light
and meaning.�

Top 5 Main Series Pokemon Songs | Pokemon Insider - Duration: 3:51.
The music from the Pokemon games has to be some of my favorite of all time.
From the original 8-bit songs from generation 1 to the more realistic sounding tracks from
gen 7, there is something to love from every game.
That's why I am going to be counting down my Top 5 songs from main series Pokemon games.
As always, I'm Pokemon Insider, and let's get started.
As you begin your journey in Pokemon Black and White 2, you are greeted with probably
my favorite generation 5 track, Aspertia City.
This song evokes the feeling of an adventure about to begin perfectly, and it seems to
me like the perfect song to start a game with.
The upbeat tune makes me think I can take on the challenges that lie ahead and defeat
anything in my way of achieving my goals.
Battles are a large part of any Pokemon game, and the significant ones are memorable not
only for the moment itself but also for the music.
Lysandre's battle theme from Pokemon X and Y jumped off the page as an incredibly memorable
song for me, because I felt that the track fit the experience perfectly.
Lysandre is a crazy madman on the road to complete world destruction, and it's up
to you to stop him.
This song sets the mood flawlessly, and it's by far my favorite battle theme of all time.
From the moment I first heard the Team Skull encounter theme in the Pokemon Sun and Moon
trailer, I instantly fell in love with it.
Even though Team Skull isn't really a very threatening evil organization, they have some
of the best music of any evil team in all of Pokemon.
The encounter theme for the grunts gives off the vibe that you are messing with the wrong
group of people, and that is exactly what I think an evil team encounter should feel
like.
Excellent job to the music team on Sun and Moon, because this track was amazing.
Music from the Pokemon games has definitely made me feel strong emotions, but never as
much as the first time I heard Let's Go Home from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
I had wanted generation 3 remakes for such a long time, and when I beat the game, all
the feels hit me at once.
It was the culmination of 10 years of waiting for a game that I wanted so bad, and when
I completed it, I had the most intense nostalgia rush ever.
I remembered all the great times I had playing the game as a kid and how much enjoyment I
got out of them.
The song that played encapsulated my emotions so well, and I will always love the song.
Sometimes you can't rationally explain your preferences, and Goldenrod City being my favorite
Pokemon song doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.
I don't have any emotional ties to the place, and I don't have some artistic knowledge
of how much of a masterpiece it might be.
I just simply like the song.
In fact, I like it so much that I learned how to play it on the piano without knowing
how to read music.
I could listen to Goldenrod City's theme from Gold, Silver, and Crystal on an endless
loop if I had to.
It's definitely my favorite song from all of Pokemon, and I don't see that changing
any time soon.
Well, that concludes my list.
With any top 5 out there, this video is simply my opinion, and if you want to share your
favorite Pokemon songs, feel free to leave a comment down below.

Redefining Roma Culture - Duration: 3:18.
Art is a form, a language, that allows us to describe deeper, through the catharsis,
through the heart of the people, what being Roma means.
Hungarian Roma: A Cultural Heritage
We Roma have been present in Hungary for centuries.
[I have just turned 40 and now I have started to dig
into what identity is, and Roma identity within that.]
[For a long time, I was preoccupied with either being a musician or an artist.]
[I started playing the violin at five in my family.
It's a profession that is passed down from father to son.]
We have contributed to mainstream Hungarian culture–music, dance, painting, and literature
–yet others have failed to recognize it.
For over 600 years,
the image of the Roma has been created, or it has been the monopoly of non-Roma.
It's time to redefine what Roma culture is–and what it is not.
Budapest, Hungary.
[I believe that art communicates common
human values and draws attention to them.
Art is hard in that it often seems unimportant,
a luxury or a frivolous activity.]
When there is pervasive discrimination against our communities,
our life doesn't matter the same way.
And art is a form of a survivor technique for us.
[It is very hard to live from love of music.
So hard that many of us went over into other styles,
into classical and other styles.
And my second fiddle, as it were, became violin making.]
If a foreigner arrives to Hungary or, basically, any of the Central European states,
this person will have no sense about how Roma have contributed to these societies.
[I wanted to show that Roma culture,
and within it Roma communities, are 21st century,
are very contemporary, and can keep up with the expectations of the age.]
You're making, definitely, something that allows me to give a voice to my communities,
to allow them to appear in different, positive roles in film.
In Europe state storages, there's over 10,000 works of art made by Roma people.
There's only two pieces exhibited in permanent exhibitions.
We're trying to put our messages–our way of seeing this reality of Europe today
–into art forms, and allow others to interpret it and see through our eyes.
[Being an activist means to me that I can
help my own community with my work.
And hopefully make the world,
of which we are a part, better.]
I think it's extremely vital that we remain strong, and we are not hiding.

The Story Behind the Morton's Salt Girl - Duration: 4:17.
The Story Behind the Morton's Salt Girl
Most people are familiar with the "Morton"s Salt girl".
With her bright yellow dress, oversized umbrella, and leaking container of table salt, she's
an iconic figure in American grocery stores.
But who is the Morton's girl, and where did she come from?
The Morton's story begins in the 1880s, when a man named Joy Morton invested in a
Chicago-based salt company.
Salt was big business in those days, largely fueled by the demand of the explorers and
pioneers who were settling the American West.
In fact, while salt sells for just a few dollars a pound at most grocery stores these days,
it wasn't always so easy to come by back then.
Salt is a critical component of any diet and throughout history has been critical to certain
types of food preservation.
Perhaps not surprisingly from that, evidence of early human settlements are often found
near sources of salt.
Struggles over salt have led to war in many cases – in fact, it was the subject of skirmishes
between the British and the colonists during the American Revolution.
One factor that persuaded Thomas Jefferson to launch the Lewis and Clark expedition was
the rumor that a great salt mountain could be found near the Missouri River.
Given the importance of salt, it's no surprise that Joy Morton's little company thrived
along with the growing country.
As the business grew, he bought out his partners.
By 1910, he owned a large enough stake to re-brand it in his name – the Morton Salt
Company.
At about this time, Morton's company was also trying to solve a persistent problem.
Salt is "hygroscopic", a physical property that causes it to absorb water from the air
around it.
When water is absorbed, the salt tends to clump – an inconvenient property for bakers
and diners.
If you try to put the salt from those days in a shaker and sprinkle it over your French
fries, you wouldn't have much success.
Morton and his team solved this problem in 1911 by adding an anti-caking agent, magnesium
carbonate, to their product.
They also put the salt in a cylindrical package that helped keep water out.
The result was a free-flowing salt that wouldn't frustrate customers.
Morton was pleased with his innovation, but still he faced another issue.
Now that his salt came in a new and improved form, he needed to spread this information
to his customers.
How could he get the word out to customers that Morton salt was the brand for them?
Morton hired advertising agency N.W.
Ayer and Company to put together a marketing campaign that would promote the anti-caking
properties of his salt.
The ad team came up with a long list of marketing plans.
They pitched their most promising concepts to the salt company's executives, but it
was Morton's son who saw genius in one of the throwaway ideas – a little umbrella-wielding
girl, accidentally pouring salt in the rain.
The illustration epitomized wholesomeness and innocence.
It also demonstrated the value of Morton salt – it will pour easily, even if you're
standing in a rainstorm.
The company paraphrased an old adage for the accompanying catchphrase: "When it rains
it pours."
The ad debuted in Good Housekeeping magazine in 1914.
In the years since, Morton's little girl hasn't aged more than a few years, but she
has made some changes to keep up with the times.
The first makeover came in 1921, when her hairdresser changed her blonde mop to straight,
dark hair.
In 1933 – as Shirley Temple's career as a child actress took off – she co-opted
the child star's trademark curls.
Today, the Morton Salt Company adorns its packages with the sixth version of the umbrella
girl – the one with the yellow dress and a daydreaming gaze that evokes the spirit
of 1968, the year she debuted.
Despite frequent questioning from fans and customers, Morton Salt Company maintains that
she is simply the creation of an ad-maker's imagination – there is no real girl behind
the iconic image.

[PBS Intro]
This episode is supported by 23 and Me
A long time ago a guy built a tomb out of rocks so he could live in it after he died
and not be dead.
His son was like "Hey that's cool" so he built one too..
Then his son was like "Me too" so he made a third and they were all buried there.
And that's how we got this.
The pyramids of Giza.
How did people who hadn't even invented the wheel build these things, and… why?
They're so big!
They're so precise!
They're so directionally oriented!
They're so mysterrrrrrious.
At first glance they really do look out-of-this world.
Thing is, the pyramids are much older than you probably think.
They were already ancient history to people IN ancient history, which led to some pretty
wild theories about how they came to be.
But pyramid technology didn't just show up out of nowhere.
It was the end product of centuries of scientific and cultural evolution, of people… figuring
it out.
And it definitely wasn't aliens.
[OPEN]
Early on, Egyptians buried their dead like we do.
The desert naturally mummified some corpses, which influenced their religious beliefs:
You need to preserve the body to reach the afterlife, and when you get there you'll
need all your stuff.
Rich people's graves had nicer stuff, and they needed to protect their afterlife investment.
First with simple mounds, and later with mud brick "eternal houses".
Then a king named Djoser was like "Why have one little mud mastaba when I can have six
stone mastabas in a stack?" so he stacked six stone mastabas like a mastaba boss and
the age of the pyramids had begun.
This was literally the first time humans had piled stone this high.
Egyptians knew totally vertical walls got less stable as they got taller, so Djoser's
architect stacked bricks at an incline and let gravity do the work.
Step pyramid achieved!
Why pyramids and not other shapes?
If you want to make a big pile of blocks, a pyramid gets you the most stability for
the least material.
A third of the way up, you've already laid two-thirds of your stone.
Halfway, you've placed more than 80%.
Next comes Sneferu, Mr. Pyramid.
He built his own step pyramid, but then decided he wanted a smooth one instead, so they started
on a second.
No one had ever built one of those before, so they made some mistakes.
For starters, they built it on sand, which is soft, they laid blocks carelessly, and
it was too steep, so halfway through they changed the slope and ended up with this.
Sneferu was like "you're not burying me in that", so he ordered a third pyramid!
Only this time they built a solid foundation, laid the stones in horizontal rows, and precision
cut the edges.
Sneferu's motto?
If at first you don't succeed, try again, and then try again one more time.
Sneferu had experimented his way to a blueprint for building awesome pyramids
The Great Pyramid at Giza, built by his son Khufu, took that blueprint to the next level.
Khufu's pyramid remained the tallest structure on Earth for almost 4000 years, until some
church tower in the year 1311, which fell down, so it was tallest again until this radio
antenna was finished in 1889.
Khufu's son Khafre built his pyramid right next to dad's, and he didn't stop innovating.
Instead of leveling the entire 46,000 square meter footprint, he built his pyramid over
a natural stone mound and only leveled the outer edge, which was less work, duh!
It's 3 meters shorter than his dad's, but this higher ground creates the illusion
that Khafre's pyramid is taller.
Kids, amirite?
But even these seemingly perfect pyramids weren't without mistakes.
Khafre's had a slight twist near the top in order to make the edges line up evenly.
What's remarkable is Egypt's biggest stone pyramids were the product of just three human
generations, but those were generations full of trial and error.
Pyramid building continued for nearly 700 years, and like any product, efficiency started
to win out over quality.
Precision-cut cores were replaced by rough-cut blocks.
Kings still wrapped their pyramids in fine white limestone, but over the next thousand
years that was removed by stone stealers and rock robbers, leaving the cheaply-produced
cores to collapse into rubble, which is probably why you've never heard of them.
Ironically, the kings were probably disappointed by the whole afterlife thing, but the pyramids
themselves have proven to be surprisingly resilient.
Ancient is not a synonym for stupid.
The world's first skyscrapers were tombs, and just like our own buildings, they didn't
spring up out of nowhere, they were the product of centuries of engineering trial and error.
Go back 500 years and show someone a smartphone and they'd probably think you were a wizard.
But when we look back from the present at the ideas and failures along the way, we see
that it's not magic at all!
It's science.
And if you still think aliens did it, you're in de-Nile.
You know, the river.
Stay curious.

Moon map's secrets EXAMINED - Horizon Lunar Colony Lore Analysis [Overwatch] - Duration: 26:53.
hey folks this is rhykker with a full analysis video on the lore and easter
eggs behind the new overwatch map horizon lunar colony we'll go through
every new voice line of which there are four for winston and one for almost
every other hero we'll go through all the Maps secrets will examine the story
that this map reveals and there was even going to be a part in this video in
which we would have murdered out on a little bit of science to both praised
and criticized blizzard but this video was already too long so I've edited out
those parts and I'm making them into a new video which will go up tomorrow
we'll start with a fly through of the map examining the lore the defenders
spawn room and the attackers spawn room are both very different and we're
starting right now in the defenders spawn room you can see over here a
satellite that's undergoing some maintenance you have some panels over
here and a rover in this Bay over here that exits out onto the lunar surface
we'll do a full deep analysis of what we see on these displays in our next video
but right now what's up note to us for lower purposes is this gravitational
wave section the exclamation mark here might be alerting us to some anomalies
happening with gravitational waves gravitational waves are a pretty new
science and so it's possible that either there's some breakthrough going on right
now on the moon in overwatch something that could potentially lead to some form
of new technology or there's something bad about to happen relating to gravity
possibly black hole type stuff continuing our fly-through of what is
the maintenance area or maintenance Bay we exit out to Bay 12
leaving the spawn room and emerging into the final capture point here we have
another Rover and another exit onto the lunar surface this is Bay 12 from here
you can see some more panels off to the side and all these Rover panels are the
same they're simply detailing some specifications about the rover in this
case we're examining tire pressure we then have exits to hydroponics and we'll
start by going over to this right room over here in
which we can find a number of email interactions starting with this side
over here we're going to see some familiar messages here we have a message
from Patel saying can someone check the noise in the break room it's past
bedtime 8:50 p.m. at 912 Nevsky replies it was Simon and hip aysia causing
trouble I tell you Simon has been an absolute handful lately I mean more than
usual I'm confining him to his room and we can
figure out what to do with him in the morning if we go over to the other
messages now this seems to be the following day at 2:19 p.m. and that is a
lot of glare we have scientist Winston human
scientists Winston saying All Hands report to airlock key 35 Zhang replies
what happened are you okay Winston replies I need help at airlock 35
immediately and that's the rest of that familiar message this was the final
message at 2:22 p.m. before the station went dark but for the gorilla uprising
we can scroll over to see if there are any other messages here we have a video
message that unfortunately we cannot play I would have loved to find out what
that said and if we go over to this console we can see an activity log which
is basically your mail inbox and here again we see some familiar messages from
Flores strange noises and ventilation system Yoshida has some missing tools
and Nevsky has concerns about Simon's behavior and that covers everything
that's not redundant in here now as we move on we eventually make our way into
the hydroponics lab hydroponics refers to a method of growing plants without
soil instead using mineral nutrients in water hydro is an English prefix meaning
water and Panos is a Greek root meaning labour so water here is doing the work
hydroponics are very common in science fiction it is basically necessary for
any space station or extraterrestrial colony on a world without plants here we
see oxygen levels being measured we've got plants everywhere we're seeing
a lot of familiar displays and there's not too much new to be
learned here we're seeing familiar messages we're seeing the same displays
we saw in that little lab and really the biggest message here is simply that the
lunar colony is self-sustaining it can produce its own oxygen and because it's
growing plants it could also produce its own food this is how the gorillas were
able to survive here on their own all these years onwards into the training
facility here we have a hydroponic tank nothing really new to the tank where
you're growing the plants more consoles that have the same displays but then we
have this little room over here where we can find one new console we see Earth
and we see initialize sequence exiting this room and heading onward to the
training facility we see a jungle gym for gorillas we've got hanging tires
we've got rock climbing walls we have ladders and this was actually the first
control point to capture on this map and once you have captured this point then
the attackers unlock this additional spawn room which we're going to magic
through the door and here we are here we see a bunch of space suits for each of
the scientists aboard this station with one human Winston's being markedly
absent now one thing that's important to note is that these space suits are very
human shaped and human sized and is no way that gorillas Winston could wear
this so what could this mean does this mean that scientist Winston
was wearing this space suit when he called all hands on deck for the
emergency at the airlock was he wearing this while trying to repair the airlock
was he coming back from a spacewalk when the airlock stopped working or are there
other reasons why this spacesuit is missing now the other thing that is
worth noting in this room is these seem to be the vents
maybe the ceiling here is all messed up and we've heard reports of noises coming
from the ventilation system now look how small that is if that is a vent
we know that Hammond the specimen that is missing is a smaller type of creature
than the other gorillas we don't know what kind of animal he can be if he's
maybe just a smaller type of ape but if that is the size we're dealing with that
definitely definitely put some restrictions on what kind of animal you
can be even a chimpanzee doesn't seem like you can fit in there
we might even be dealing with a monkey instead of an ape maybe something small
like a spider monkey that is actually able to crawl around in these small
areas but then would it have the force to bust out of things like this lots of
questions raised by this room by whatever the devs are trying to tell us
with these clues leaving this area we go around to here we see some more familiar
displays and now we head into this bigger open area where we see gorilla
daycare you can see paw prints here but based on the size of these little things
you think that these were used more when the gorillas were younger you see little
baby toys effectively some rockets that are familiar again Winston as a baby was
very fond of rockets and we can see here a drawing possibly made by Winston who
knows it could be any of the gorillas really but given its rocket base that
certainly does hint towards it being Winston's drawing and again you can see
the paw prints all over the place leading to different areas they don't
seem to be going in any particular direction and it seems to be multiple
apes that have made these prints the blackboard even when flipped around
still says nothing we have a little display over here where it appears to be
some form of skill testing game testing the intelligence of the apes you have
scanning in progress 52 percent complete downloading data class alpha and you get
a score it's one of those baby games where you have to match the shapes to
the holes and if we go up here you can also make your way through the steps
here but we see that the glass here is shattered there's some of these rubik's
dodecahedron sore whatever they might be scattered about some more familiar
displays nothing new here but we are seeing now the airlock and we'll get to
those airlocks a little bit later we're going to finish
exploring the rest of this area first but you can see that the two airlocks
are very close together and they actually lead to the same external area
here we have a blue padded room which I don't know if this is like a holding
cell or what there don't seem to be doors here certainly a bizarre room with
no console that's currently on and here we have the little school we have the
Lexi Graham's which play a very important role for Winston you can see
that Winston has a LexA Graham spray Winston spray specifically focused on
these nine squares starting with the circle on the top left and finishing
with the I don't know sort of starburst on the bottom right Lexi Graham's are
basically symbols representing words and it's certainly bizarre that one of them
just says peanut butter kind of defeats the purpose of a lexigram here we have a
poster for this actual moon colony and then we have the little baby chairs for
baby gorilla school we've got more tests we have more of the
same drawings repeated here there is nothing interesting behind this teacher
station just more of the same consoles again the blackboard doesn't have
anything on it more of the same consoles and with that we leave this little
training area and we can see that some regions have certainly been blocked off
some of the doors as well you'll see that the locks have been destroyed part
of the station has been trashed in fact the more we get away from the defenders
spawn and the closer we get to the attacker spawn the more this station is
trashed from this little school area we can go around here into the break room
basically and by some miracle the vending machines have not been shattered
you can see salt and pepper and we got these little rumbas always going around
the area cleaning things up you got the peanut butter here we got the stove oven
and then you can see these little packages here these are pretty typical
of quote astronaut food vacuum packed dehydrated food it keeps really well in
space I remember going to Space Camp as a kid and having some dehydrated
strawberries and they weren't half bad it's kind of like the strawberries you
find in breakfast cereal and then over here we see finally a new console
horizon lunar colony with a directory and we have every one of these
scientists listed and it seems that Jang is highlighted and that's possibly his
location being highlighted by that circle which
doesn't make a whole lot of sense because apparently all the scientists
were murdered unless that's just where his corpse is but these numbers here
just sort of seemed to be extension numbers like if you want to reach a
specific individual we know that these refer not to the guerillas but to the
scientists now off to the side here we have another little break room nothing
particularly of note you can see in the distance there the label horizon on the
station itself and there's one little room that we've neglected visiting up to
now and that's because it's a special little room and we're going to go take a
look so right over here you can see this area is very trashed things are tossed
about again nothing new just yet until we get into this little room here that
should start looking familiar to you guys we've got the Lexi Grahams
we've got the little model rocket we've got the peanut butter on the bed this
was Winston's room baby Winston well I guess as well as you grew up but yeah
this is Winston's room now exiting this room there's two areas left to explore
one of which is the observatory this is the attacker spawn and again we're
seeing the same consoles here but there's some major big stuff in here to
go up through here again just a lot of repetition for now but you're already
seeing it right here that telescope is the Mae
your feature that is left to take a look at as well as this area here in fact so
if we come down here you can see the portrait of Winston and Winston and then
on these consoles here I wish we could unpause these videos but here we see the
guerrillas we see the guerrillas we see things going on here these guerrillas
are mad they are angry guerrillas so what are we seeing in these images well
let's start with this one all the way on the left this ape over here you can see
the number on her shoulder that's 20 that is Suzann that is specimen Susan we
know that because we have that specimen status tracking image with all of their
names next to their specimen numbers now we have this sinister looking specimen
down here and we can't quite see his number but he has those big old ears
could that be a chimpanzee gorillas typically don't have such big ears but
it could just be artistic direction taken my view of Washington because even
this specimen here has big ol ears if we see over here one one of these apes is
just lounging about after making a mess in the kitchen this one here seems to be
eating from the garbage then we have one that seems to be putting on a dress and
the other is that a smaller specimen no it seems it's hard to tell right now but
if we go over here this seems to be 23 the one who stole this dress and put it
on over here c23 is hip Asia so either there are multiple
Apes wearing dresses or otherwise these security footage tapes are not being
played in order and this one is curiously off and then we go to the
final one where we see 26 26 is Ellie and then that appears to maybe be a 15
over there Calvin that kind of looks like an
orangutan maybe these two seem to be larger than these over here but it's a
little difficult to say and this one over here definitely seems to be the
smallest of them all could that be a chimpanzee could that be
the smaller specimen Hammond that we're talking about well we gave some reasons
why or why not Hammond could be an ape in our overview
of the teaser video so over here we see atrium six out this window we could also
see the other side of atrium six from a room near the defenders spawn moving on
into the actual spawn of the defenders we have this enormous telescope pointed
at earth and if you step on this bun here it opens these doors and if you
step on it again it closes them up to here and it doesn't really seem to have
any major effect on anything if you go to this telescope though you are
prompted to hold our and then you can look through it and you get to see a
view of Spain and Portugal basically you always see the same thing regardless of
whether these doors are held open or closed more so we respond in as Winston
just to show you the door opening further and we're going to take a gander
through the telescope right now as that finishes opening we hold our and you
always see the same thing there's nothing to move around here you see a
few different potential landing sites and you see watch Point Gibraltar
highlighted as well we'll examine this all the more closely in a bit then we go
step on this again we close the doors again they just return to basically the
previous half open position there doesn't seem to be any point to
this at all you look through this again and it has not changed whatsoever now
we're going to go take a look at the last area that we have yet to explore
and that is actually outside there are two airlocks that lead to the exterior
of the map here is one it opens up we go out and now we get to experience low
gravity now this area is kind of disappointingly small I suppose I
understand why they did that all there is out here is a health pack there's
nothing really more to learn here war wise there's just another airlock it
opens up here and we're back in this little room we
could actually see the two airlocks there there's no shortcut to be taken
out here it's literally just going out there to have some fun and low gravity
jump around fall off the map and die or to get that health pack this door down
here does not open we can't even push past an invisible barrier to get closer
to the door and interesting to note about being out here is that there's
almost no sound there's basically no sound and it sound returns as you
re-enter alright we're going to listen to all the various new voice lines we
hear now on this map when you spawn in as Winston there are three different
random voice lines that you can hear and we'll play those right now
I wonder what's happened to you since I escaped they say you can never go home
again does it look like a chameleon switch they must be in another part of
the base so again there was a guerrilla uprising Winston water no part of that
he escaped to earth and he hasn't been back to the moon ever since now one
thing that I find really a nice touch is the fact that because we see no gorillas
in this area Winston addresses it it's called lamp shading and in fiction as a
trow doesn't look like they come in here much they must be in another part of the
base as I was going around I was wondering where the hell are all the
Apes well Winston addresses this with his comment now I was hoping that maybe
there was some interesting interaction with the horizon skin for Winston in
which he's wearing an actual horizon spacesuit I tried going around with that
skin I didn't get any new voice lines so unless any of you have found something
if you did please sign off in the comments but I couldn't find anything
myself so the other new voice lines we have one for every other hero apart from
Bastion when they look through the telescope will listen to these and it
will just comment on a couple of them that are no worthy really gives you
perspective on the world down there what it's all about
yeah I need a drink it all looks so small from up here the view is not bad
earth I've gone through a lot for you hope you appreciate it that's something
you don't see every day the first day or so we all pointed to our countries the
third or fourth day we were pointing to our continents by the fifth day we were
aware of only one earth wow I think I understand what Winston felt like now
looking back at the earth for me the concerns of my life seems so distant
from up here I think I can see my trailer Danny our work is worth paying
for well the views not much uh-huh a bit more powerful than my scope Wow the feel
is amazing recording if you will want to see this from here it all looks to be so
orderly and peaceful it all seems so peaceful from up here it all looks so
peaceful from up here I never thought I see the world like this the damage
doesn't look as bad from up here it's not bad but it's also not Hawaii so
sanada's line here is a Star Wars reference in the original Star Wars film
c-3po and r2d2 are escaping a rebel ship that was boarded by Darth Vader and his
goons after their ship was severely damaged by an imperial ship as the two
are floating away in an escape pod c-3po looks back at the two ships and says
that's funny the damage doesn't look as bad from out here now it's not clear
whether c-3po was simply too far away to see the damage on the rebel ship or
maybe the rebel ship is so small at this distance that he mistook the Imperial
ship as the ship that he was on but either way it's a funny line and now
I want a Zen Threepio skin I will never look at skin me that same way so here
Genji is saying I will never look at tsuki me the same way tsuki me is a
Japanese festival honoring the autumn moon and it literally translates to moon
viewing this festival takes place around September because ever since ancient
times this was regarded as the best time for moon viewing because the moon would
be at its brightest objectivism Luke Ravi spooty Kay Yow video cock
procrastination Ito Judy Boojum Fanny Dupree on izzati - Krista - Annie
reserved shot vo so sorry it says quite a bit here and I'm not a hundred percent
clear on the translation but this is the best that I can get she's saying
something to the effect of while orbiting the Earth in the spacecraft
Sputnik I saw how wonderful our planet is let's fight to preserve its beauty
and help it grow not destroy it and this is either a direct quote or an
adaptation of a quote from Yuri Gagarin Russian cosmonaut and the first man in
space his quote was when I orbited the earth in a spaceship I saw for the first
time how beautiful our planet is mankind let us preserve and increase this beauty
and not destroy it here's the thing though he orbited the earth in the
spacecraft Vostok not Sputnik Sputnik was a satellite that launched from the
same pad as Vostok but she definitely wasn't in it now maybe I'm not hearing
right or there's some error in translation here but it really sounds
like Zarya said Sputnik so either this is some error on Blizzard's part or
again sarios maybe not directly quoting Yuri
maybe she herself actually orbited the earth in a spaceship named Sputnik it's
not very likely but it's within the realm of possibility
Zaria is a celebrated Russian athlete as well as a soldier there's not a lot of
room in our backs for you to also be an astronaut but who knows maybe the
Russian Center into space either as a PR stunt
or just as a reward for her service if any of you watching speak or understand
Russian please let me know exactly what that quote is now again looking through
the telescope this is what we see we can clearly see watch Point Gibraltar
highlight it on the left it seems like this could be Lisbon the capital of
Portugal on the bottom seems to be Iran a coastal Algerian city and in the top
right this is maybe is that a Gosa but it seems pretty far off from where it
actually is geographically so there doesn't seem to be anything really of
note in that area at least today that said this map isn't super accurate
there's a lot of artistic interpretation so it could just be that they move where
desire goes that would be but most interesting here is note where the
lights are and where the lights are not compare this to a modern-day light map
where's Madrid where are all the big city regions that currently exist today
is this because of the Amna crisis is this what has happened to Spain and
Portugal during the war are these areas just ravaged now desolate destroyed now
what we gather overall from this is that Winston was likely the last to use this
telescope trying to find places to land with his rocket he likely picked watch
point Gibraltar which was an overwatch base and it has a landing pad landing
and takeoff pad which we see when we go there and you could even see Winston's
landing pod it's any of the attackers spawn room so it makes more sense that
Winston landed here and they kept his landing pod there then that Winston had
his landing pod transported to watch points or alter for sentimental reasons
and that wraps up this analysis video leave a comment with your thoughts are
you excited about the new map don't forget to come back tomorrow for our
next video in which we really get into the science of things praised and
criticized below that we're going to talk about the airlocks we are going to
talk about as well all the various panels and what they
tell us thanks for watching special thanks to my twitch and patreon

How Important Are Powermeters? | Ask GCN Anything Cycling - Duration: 11:04.
- Coming 'round faster than Tom Dumoulin
can remove his cycling shorts,
it's another edition of Ask GCN Anything.
What you ask, and we answer.
We try to anyway.
First up, without further ado is this question
from Stewart @MTB_Stewart who asks,
"I'm an MTB rider who recently got into road cycling.
I love dry roads, but I lack confidence
in the rain, any advice?" #TorqueBack.
Well thanks for getting in touch Stewart.
It is a really good question; especially coming off
the driest grand tour in living memory.
Of course no rain graced this year's Giro d'Italia.
But if you're used to the fantastic control
and traction offered by off-road, wider tyres,
it can definitely be a bit of a shock
when you go from the wider tyres onto the
skinny road counterparts.
Remember only 23, 25, 28 mm.
It's a massive difference, especially
when riding in the wet.
Firstly, there's a completely different feel,
and I think primarily there's hardly any
room for error at all.
So, yeah, what you have to do is just get used
to riding them; just slowly but surely improve
your confidence.
Practice makes perfect basically.
But also what you need to do is factor in
some other things that will make it easier for you.
So, looking at braking distances, and really importantly
making sure you've got your tyre pressure spot on.
Especially, don't have your ties too hard,
otherwise you will come off.
And in addition, you could watch this video too;
our top-10 tips for riding in the rain.
...this to a degree.
And that is to make sure you brake
in good time before the corners.
Now braking before corners is something we
always mention, but in the wet, definitely
back off that little bit more 'cause the
last thing you wanna do is grab some brakes
midway through the corner,
because you're gonna really increase
the risk of wiping out and crashing.
Well next up we have this question from
Prashant Pradhan who asks,
"Can you recommend a training plan
one can follow while working a full-time job?"
Well, firstly thanks so much again
for getting in touch Prashant.
And unsurprisingly this is a question we get
asked pretty much every single week,
because, let's face it, hardly any of us
are full-time pros who have nine or 10
hours a day to train.
So we really need to think about how we manage our time.
All the small things get in the way,
like your study as you say;
a full-time job; just family life.
And getting the balance right can be quite hard,
because the strain that you put on your body,
both physically and psychologically, can mean that
if you get it wrong, something will fail;
either your training or even your quality of life
and the quality of your work you're doing.
So, the key thing for working...
Or training, sorry, around a full-time job
is effective time management.
Once you've got that right, that's one thing.
And also making sure that each and every training
session has a meaning and counts.
But the overriding one when working and training
is to get enough rest.
There are the main three component parts,
which I look at in a bit more detail in this video.
... get fitter.
So, rather than just aimlessly riding your bike
without any real focus, although from time to time
that can actually be quite enjoyable, try and make sure
that every single session counted.
I actually managed to keep the same level of fitness
when I was working full-time compared to when I
was a full-time professional,
simply because my training was of far higher quality.
There simply were no dead miles, so to speak.
It's time now for the rapid-fire round.
But before I embark on this mid-section of this show,
I noticed last week that Si did say that he was
gonna make rapid-fire particularly rapid,
but let's be honest, a few of you did comment
it was one of the slowest rapid-fire rounds I've ever seen.
So I'm gonna try and speed things up
properly starting from now.
This question from Hitesch Dhorajiwala
If I got that wrong, I apologise.
He asks, "In light of the Bolide video,"
That was a TT bike video from Team Sky.
"why do pro riders not just completely get
custom frames with fixed saddle heights, etc?"
That's a cracking question.
The main reason is cost.
It cost a hell of a lot of money to get a carbon mould done.
I mean, an exorbitant amount of money.
So basically the vast majority of pros buy the same frames
and bikes that we can.
It's just a matter of cost.
Although there are a few professional riders...
I mean, probably you could count them on one hand,
who do get custom road bikes,
but they are the real minority,
and it's just a matter of cost.
I think I need to speed things up.
Next question. Here we go.
Jorre van de Weyer asks, "Are there pros who
listen to music during their races?"
Not that I'm aware of.
Next up we have this from Brian Foley.
"Why did Nibali do that aggressive bunny hop
approaching the downhill hairpin bend?"
And I think, Brian, you're referring
to the stage, that's Bormio, descending down the Stelvio.
And the little section you're referring to,
I think Nibali basically did a bunny hop
to jump over some ice-melt water that was
running across the road so he didn't make his tyres wet.
Simple as that.
He's a class descender, and he handles his bike very well;
little bunny hop over the water.
Next up from Saif Akhtar.
"Hi GCN, do you have any advice on racing
on a circuit and any tactics or strategies?"
Racing on a circuit?
First up do those indoor training;
lots of high-end stuff; a lot of sprints.
Try to improve your threshold.
But also, when you're actually racing on the circuit,
don't do too much work.
It's very, very high intensity.
If you hit the wind too early you'll pay for it.
So basically, high-intensity work, improve your sprinting,
don't get in the wind too much.
And finally this is from Liam Sangaku.
"Why don't professional cyclists do Criteriums?"
They do.
Caleb Ewan, for example, is the
Ozzie National Criterium champion.
The pros do them. Just not as much.
There you go. How'd I do?
I reckon four out of five for speed.
Straight off the back of the rapid-fire,
let's slow things down a little bit
with this question from Phill Tromans over on Twitter,
who asks, "How important are head units and powermeters
in the modern peloton? How would things change
if they weren't allowed?"
Well thanks Phill.
That is a really, really good question;
very interesting one in fact.
Now I think they are important, to the pros that is,
for a number of reasons.
But the most obvious one...
The kind of reason that causes the most controversy
because it potentially detracts from the spontaneity
of racing, is the fact that riders can see
the amount of power on their head unit.
They basically ride to that power;
making for a kind of quietly-controlled environment
depending on the way you look at it.
But, saying that, not all of the riders in the peloton
actually ride to power, but what I can say is,
from experience, escpecially in this modern era,
is that pretty much 100 percent of the riders in the peloton
will collect the power data in the powermeter.
They might not look at it immediately,
but what they will do is review it
in conjunction with their coach after
a training ride or after a race.
And that's really important information.
Information is power.
If you get my drift.
Now as for your second part of the question;
how would things change if powermeters
and head units weren't allowed,
well, I think that racing may be a little bit different.
I don't know how different because obviously riders
wouldn't have the ability to ride to
a set, fixed number in front of them.
They'd have to learn to ride on feel,
which on the one hand I think is a fantastic thing.
I think young riders should understand their bodies better.
Although I do, on the other hand, understand
the importance of data.
And just to mix things up a bit, I think in
every grand tour there should be two or three
stages where the riders can have powermeters on,
but they're not allowed to refer to their data.
I'll just throw that one out there,
and see how that one goes.
But, just to look at what the riders actually
look at on their head units, I spoke to a
smattering of riders at the head of a stage
at the Giro d'Italia last year, and the answers
are quite interesting and very varied.
Not everybody rides to power.
What data fields to you prefer when racing?
- I've got speed, distance, average power and time.
- Good Stuff. Why is that?
- Well, seeing the current power is bad,
'cause I'm just gonna look at it and get it in my head
and like, AAAAH, 500 watts.
And average power I can kinda gauge like, oh yeah,
it actually is, has been hard all day.
But, that does it for me.
- Simon's explanation of the unwritten rules
in last week's Ask GCN Anything has really caused
some fantastic debate and interaction
in our comment section with a really broad
range of views; which is fantastic.
But that is the very nub of this whole issue.
The rules are unwritten, so therefore ambiguous
and open to various different forms of interpretation
given a specific set of circumstances viewed,
of course, by many different people.
And that I think is the real beauty of the unwritten rules.
'Cause what you have to consider is that there's
no case law that's rooted in statute or law
to firm up any examples of breaches based on
a very specific set of circumstances as it is in law.
Now, loads of you got involved.
I had a lot of fun, actually, reading through the comments.
I'm just gonna throw a couple of people out there;
a couple of names so Joseph Burty, Maxime de Clerk,
Mick Buckley, Limited Gary, a kind chap, cracking name.
There are numerous, numerous others,
and think this one will run and run
because every time there's a set of circumstance
that unravel in a race, and the unwritten rules are
called into question, the whole thing is gonna
raise its head again.
I think what we have to look at is, in relation to
etiquette in the peloton, in relation to the
unwritten rules, the whole thing is evolving as well,
and there's different pressures in the modern peloton
than there were, say, 50 or 60 years ago,
when the unwritten rules were first written.
If you get my drift.
So, I just think it's a fantastic fertile ground
for debate and discussion about the sport
that we all love.
And on that very note, someone didn't throw
to this video last wee, so I'm gonna do it now.
It's my look at five of the unwritten rules of cycling.
This is volume one.
You can also check out volume two as well.
Enjoy. See what you think.
The sticky bottle.
Now, this entails a rider grabbing a bottle
as it's being passed to them from a moving team car.
But rather than releasing their grip immediately,
they'll hold on to the bottle for a short while.
Now, the unwritten rules allow for between
one and three seconds.
And anything above and beyond that, and it moves
into the written rules territory.
In other words, it moves from
a sticky bottle to getting a tow.
Well, that's it for another edition of
Ask GCN Anything.
Please do keep those questions coming.
If it's the first time you've watched this show,
the hashtag to use on all platforms of social media
and of course in the comments section is
#TORQUEBACK with a Q.
Now, if you haven't already subscribed
to GCN, your one-stop shop for everything cycling,
if you click on the globe for free
you will not miss another video.
Make sure you do that now.
And, if you are heading up high this summer
to do some riding, you might wanna click
on this video; How to Ride at Altitude.
Or, alternatively, you could do both.
How about clicking on this video where
I took a peek inside a grand tour rider's suitcase.
In this particular case, it was Simon Geschke;

CORN FESTIVAL! - Daily Vlog #11 - Duration: 6:02.
Did your fork break as well?
It just brok.... here.
I broke mine as well, look.
I just broke my plastic fork...
...eating pamonha.
Guys, starting this vlog at the festival...
I was about to say "Pamonha Festival".
Starting this vlog at the Corn Festival,
Which is happening at the mall,
I'm eating a sweet pamonha with cheese,
Which is...
...so yummy!
Just broke another piece of my fork.
Gezz...
Soon you'll start eating with your hands, dude.
Yep.
Mommy asked for a pamonha with cinamon,
I mean...
...they went out of salty pamonhas, so.
You can notice the fork problem is not Túlio's fault...
...this time.
This plastic fork is very fragile.
'Festa Junina' season is almost coming,
Is almost June! *I know is June already, we record this some weeks ago*
This Festival is really nice,
There's a lot of products made of corn here!
So tasty!
I...
I love corn,
So for people who loves corn...
...this festival is the bomb.
There's also some weird stuff,
Like there's Gourmet Brigadeiro made of corn.
There's Cachaça made of corn as well.
- Oh yes. - Never seen it before.
...what?
- If corn is from Minas. *Brazilian state* - Nope.
- I don't think so, right? - I think it's not.
I mean, its origins.
Of course there's corn in the whole country,
- But, like, 'pão de queijo'. - Yea, I don't know.
- Pão de Queijo is from Minas, right? - Yep.
- Corn is from Minas as well? - Nope.
No?
Daily Vlog!
Episode 11:
Corn Festival!
Guys, look how cool:
This corn is just like that ones in the beach, you know?
But they ask if you want to eat it directly from the cob,
Or if you want to eat it on a plate.
So I choosed the plate to see the experience.
And it's so yummy!
It comes with butter, right?
It's not so hot as the original corn cob,
Because I like when the Corn cob is really hot!
So good.
Also, when you bite the corn cob,
- You get that salty corn broth. - Yummm.
True, I kinda regret it now.
This festival,
It's in the rooftop of the mall...
...right?
And it was a great idea to make it in here,
Because the view here is beautiful!
I'm gonna try to show you,
Not sure if I will succeed, tho.
The city view.
And we have this big building too.
In the end, I couldn't...
*Nina sneezes* - Talked that much in there...
- Bless you! - Geez!
Bless you!
Sorry!
I ended up not talking that much in the festival,
Because it was very loud there, right.
We just left the corn festival,
It was the first Corn Festival!
It was very nice!
There was lots of food made of corn there,
There was even Corn Brigadeiro! *Nina sneezes again*
Bless you!
Actually there wasn't corn brigadeiro anymore.
No,
I mean... there was!
There was, but they ran out of corn brigadeiro.
- We tried to buy some, but it was sold out. -Yep.
...sad.
Today was the last day, actually.
Yep, today was the last day of the festival.
Hey mom.
...they were so fresh, right?...
What we came to get at the supermarket?
We're here to buy...
- err... some juice... - uh.
*Nina already dying*
And a snack that Túlio...
"...that Túlio"?!?
- That Túlio ate it one day... - "that Túlio"?...
- uh. - Then you said it was very yummy,
Then I taste it a little and I liked a little too.
But only Túlio??
That's why we came.
Only Túlio said the snack was very yummy?
- Nina said it too. - That's a lie, you two!
- Who said.... - No, look!
Who guided us to this corridor?
"oh, let's get that yummy snack!"
- I did! - So!
But I'm sayi...
I don't even like snacks! *Mom clearly doesn't know how to lie*
But let me tell you!
It was very cold these days!
A very nice cold weather, I mean,
Wonderful, because I love cold weather, right!
Even more because it's always very hot in here!
Very hot!
And now that winter is almost here,
I'm gonna use all the opportunities I have,
To use all my scarves,
Look at this one.
Actually Nina did this style for me!
She taught me how to use a scarf in a different way,
What do you think?
*EPIC BURP*
Did you see where it came from?
This is italian chocolate.
Is it italian?
It is.
Did you like it?
Mom bought
This chocolate here.
And it's like... the best chocolate...
...I've ever had.
Nah, I'm overreacting.
But I mean, geez guys...
It's really really good!
I think it's italian,
I'm not sure, tho.
Sunday evening...
...on this cold weather.
Just stole Nina's bed.
I always thought Nina's bed is comfier than mine.
I always thought that.
- Geez. - He always says that.
It's true!
I lay on Nina's bed and...
- Maybe because you're heavier.
Wow!
"MAYBE BECAUSE YOURE FAT"
"BECAUSE YOURE A BALL, RIGHT"
"BECAUSE YOURE A BIG FAT WHALE"
What was this again, Nina?
Do you remember?
Oh, a random thing me and Túlio won to...
- What was this, dude? - To sit on the floor, right?
This what?
Because this thing is soft.
- Oh! This was from Disney, right? - Yea.
Geez, I really don't know.
I still don't know for what this was made.
I think it was made for sit on it, because it's soft,
So you don't need to sit on the cold floor.
Possibly.
And this two here are cleaning some stuff.
I almost threw a gold pin...
She was your Great-great-grandmother, right?
Because if she was the mom of my mother...
Yea... no, she was my Great-grandmother.
You came to help us, right Nancy?
Nancy always show up when we are doing something,
Then she always put her face into a random plastic bag.
"Aww I like to participate, guys!"
"Because I think plastic bags are so fun!"
"interesting..."
She's eating a random elastic now.
I have a very important mission for both of you.
That's so sweet, dude!
This was from the time I was a teacher.
So,
You two...
Will need to... end this vlog.
Yeah?
So, guys...
Let's find a cool thing here.
Can I end the video whistling?
I'm gonna end this in a very gym teacher way.
Silence!
Look, what's this?
This may be expired since I don't know when.
Oh, this is a shell from Pacific Ocean.
...from that time we went to California.
Cruzeiros...
2 cruzeiros.
And some cruzados.
*The cruzeiro real was the short-lived currency of Brazil in the 40's*
That's cool dude.

VidCon Day 1 |Vlog #2| Awesomeness😁 Cringeness😱 and many other "emotions" 😍 | The VidCon Series - Duration: 17:05.
Gooooood morning!! You thought I was about to say good mythical morning right? Ha!

and take a look around the RAI... I mean around the VidCon hall and then I will
have to go and do my second volunteer shift, it's a Creator Chat
I don't know with who... but we will see...
I think we we try not to get eyeballs... try to get hearts
try collect people's harts, because one person who is with you and you feel like
they like your stuff and they're actually with you and no matter what you
do and they're still the fans of you, that person's more important and people.
Thank you for making the talk about very nice! Freddie: Yeah thank you for moderating I mean
she is a volunteer and got the shirt and everything...
yeah it's really nice I really like it! :)
But I'm so happy that I got to be here and I learn a lot so thank

managed to understand me but he was so nice and... that... that was intense.
I'm so happy... :)

So I just met Jon Cozart, also I discovered that I do have feelings how
disappointing I thought I did not have feelings but I do have and apparently
I'm also little bit of fangirl so...
I made him repeat the whole thing three
times because I'm a little bit stupid... but it's fine...
I thought that people said

As you can see I'm... I'm a little bit in living in a shock
That was, that was great and...

going to go to my creator talk with Jack and Dean
How does that affect your your friendship I mean...you are friends
and you are work buddies... How you maintain that without wanting to kill each other?!
Jack: it's interesting, it's like we start
doing all this stuff when we were kids, when we were 15 or 16 years old, and then it just sort of evolved...
Dean: We did it because we enjoyed it and we will makes anyway and now we just get through
it more so it's not really the transitions not been that like it's not very drastic
When I fiound out that I had this creator Chat... it took Iike
between 8 and 14 videos to get you through your beautiful accent wich is
beautiful but oh my god... but have you thought about this ability of scripting...
I mean... Jack: The subtitles?
Dean: We need to do it that we're just a bit inconsiderate lazy (xD)
Oh my god you will not believe who I just Found...

Mamrie: would you like to introduce the next person
I'd like to introduce somebody who puts a lot of thought and
effort into their videos and is very good at them please all go to stage
MATPAT
My name is Matthew Patick better known as MatPat and I own the channels
Game theory, film theory and GTlive YouTube where basically we objectively do the
nerdiest things online, like there's a lot of nerdy channels on YouTube but we
do the nerdiest ones cuz we take videogames, movies and TV, apply Maths, science and history and create
nerdy inclusions like: Super Mario is a sociopath.
If you want views that's one
of the main reasons that you will get views it's a sexy sexy thumbnail
so just to go over all of that: -follow your fear, authenticity, realistic goal, try again
appreciate, support and sexy thumbnail and if you put that on the line it
spells out far ass
other ways but it is helpful for me raise your hand if you
speak more than one languages oh man guys are too good!
What do we do at that time
that we could be learning two... raise your hand if you speak more than 2 languages
Maaaan
raise your hand if you make content in a non English language okay thank you
is this counting down? it is! Oh my...
I'm going to go over, but that's fine... I own the conference... xD
Can you believe l forgot to have lunch cuz I was so excited I don't even stoped to eat
I'm okay though...go but oh my god there is free food thats great!
Hi! it's actually quite late now
we we're at the Creator keynote it was great I was a little bit late but I
was in time to see Doddie and Jon and Hank and MatPat and I'm so happy it was
great and after that we had some food but... - Hi! I left my jacket inside
- RUN... ( I don't understand the res... They were closing I guess :) )
oh thank you!...
Well I left my jacket inside wait
Okay so I just
lost my jackets, I left both of them inside the RAI and since the creator
keynote was in the order auditorium I forgot to take them back and now the RAI
is closed and I don't have my jackets with me and it's freaking cold out here
so luckily enough I met a lovely girl she was called Ella the bee, you will find
the link description down below she has a German channel she's really nice and she let
me borrow her jacket so I'm going to give it back to her because if not I'm going
to feel awful, but I don't know, it was a lot of fun I really really like the
creator note I absolutely forgot that humans should um feed themselves
couple times day I forgot about that so I'm fine I'm I will have my lunch now as
a dinner which is great I don't have to worry about making anything and I'm just
going to go to sleep because I'm super tired but it was such a fun day I will
catch you at the room and I will tell you a little bit more of the things that
happened it was such a fun day!
Oh hi I would like to make a little
review of the day just so you can know if you're interested in everything that
happened and also for me because I would love to have this when I'm back home so
if you don't mind today started out quite well I mean I had a shift with Freddie Wong
that was really cool!
After that, I got the chance to meet Jon Cozart um
that was amazing also quite cringing because I didn't know but apparently I
can be quite cringy um
Do you want to cringe?
Of course you want to cringe who doesn't want to cringe
Can you please show a little bit of the footage you
have... cuz you're a little bit dumb?
Bare with me, I was so nervous I am a fangirl who I'm trying to fool I'm so ashamed of myself...
so after that I went to my creator chat with Jack and Dean, it was
amazing I'm so happy I met them!
the M&G shift with Doddie was amazing
I'm really impressed so kuddos to doddie, she is great, Also manager Josh :)
Oh yeah then I went to the Creator Keynote after the creator keynote I found Mako again
and I was just talking to her for a bit and then some other youtubers came and I
met a lot of amazing people this afternoon, that was so much fun
I met a girl her name is Ella oh my god thank you! she just gave her jacket to a
complete stranger that was me and I'm going to do whatever it takes for me to
give it back to her because I don't want to steal this jacket! It's lovely the
lovely jacket but I want her to have it back so... she was so kind for letting me
borrow this because I was freazing and oh my god
Tomorrow I will keep a little
part of that time because I want to actually check the things in VidCon

Top 10 Seemingly Innocent Things That Reveal Shocking Amounts of Information About You
10.
Your Netflix Ratings Can Reveal if You're Gay
Netflix is a great service.
For a few bucks a month you get unlimited access to a constantly changing library of
content, most of which is tailored towards you.
Netflix does this with a number of algorithms that take into account what you watch, for
how long, and what overall rating you gave it, and then compares it with similar data
from other customers.
It would seem that the only real thing you'd be able to tell about someone from their Netflix
habits would be what kind of movies they like, and which celebrity they have a crush on.
However, by simply cross-referencing the data Netflix has with other sources (for example
movie reviews on IMDb), it is shockingly easy to discern someone's actual identity from
a list of movies they liked.
It is then possible to extrapolate from this data and determine someone's sexuality,
political affiliations, and where they live.
As unlikely as this sounds, a team of researchers in 2009, taking part in a competition with
Netflix to improve their algorithms, were able to learn all this and more about a bunch
of customers.
One of these customers later sued Netflix because the data (which was completely anonymous)
revealed that she was gay, something she hadn't even told her family, and she was worried
it could be used to out her before she personally felt comfortable doing so.
Then again, the lady in question had children, so we're guessing she could have denied
being gay fairly easily if she wasn't ready to tell someone.
It's for this reason that we highly advise rating every film you see on Netflix arbitrarily
to throw them off in the future.
Hey, speaking of politics!

Owning a Cat is an Indicator of Your Political Views
Like choosing a video game console, or how you like your steak cooked (well-done all
the way for this author, come at him in the comments), whether you prefer cats or dogs
is a weirdly polarizing topic.
While we're sure there a number of educated guesses you could make about a person based
solely on the fact they own a cat, such as their living situation or how often they use
that Snapchat filter that makes you look like a dog, you wouldn't think cat ownership
would be an indicator of political affiliation.
Weirdly, though, there's data to support the fact that it kind of is.
As discussed in a 2014 Time magazine article, a number of seemingly unrelated things are
actually a fairly useful and accurate indicators of a person's place on the political spectrum.
While some of these things are a little more obvious than others – for example, highly
conservative people are less likely to agree that watching pornography while in a relationship
is acceptable and liberals are more likely to disagree with the statement "I am proud
of my country's history" – some are a little more… odd.
For example, for reasons that aren't quite clear, people who agree with the statement
that they prefer cats to dogs, by and large, appear to be more liberal than those who disagree,
whereas people who use Internet Explorer are more likely to hold conservative views.
Though we could chalk this up to being an interesting quirk of statistics, we feel it
would be unwise to fully rule out that the possibility that cats want us to live a socialist
utopia, free of Internet Explorer.
That's a future we'd actually be kind of curious about, which we're assuming would
be punishable by death in a cat-ruled society.

Facebook Has Better Face Detection Software Than the FBI
Due to the secretive and presumably super boring nature of most of their work, the inner
workings of the FBI aren't made privy to the public and, as such, we have no idea what
awesome gadgets and technology they have access to that we don't know about.
One thing we can be sure of, though, is that they're worse at analyzing faces than Facebook.
According to statistics released by both the FBI and Facebook, Facebook's proprietary
facial analysis software is able to accurately identify a person in a photo 98% of the time.
A figure that dunks just all over the Feds, who admit that their own software has an accuracy
rating of just 85%.
Their main reason for this discrepancy is that the FBI very often only have a single
photo to go on to identify a person.
Facebook, meanwhile, often has hundreds of every person using the site, from multiple
angles, allowing them to build a comprehensive image on an individual's features.
In other words, Facebook probably has a better idea of what you look like than the people
who see you every day.

Stores Like Target Can Predict When You're Pregnant
You probably remember a few years ago, a story breaking about the store Target correctly
predicting that a young girl was pregnant.
It got her in trouble when the store sent vouchers for baby stuff to her house, which
were noticed by her father, who didn't know she had a bun in the oven.
What you probably didn't hear about, or see discussed, though, is how Target was able
to do this.
Now you're probably thinking that the girl bought a pregnancy test in a Target, or something
a few months earlier, or something.
Which is a good assumption, but it's not how it went down.
The store was actually able to make the prediction based purely on the fact the girl had bought
cotton balls and some unscented lotion a few weeks earlier.
On their own these items don't seem all that unusual, but the girl's loyalty card
also showed that she'd recently also purchased mineral substances for the first time.
Again, these don't seem like solid indicators of pregnancy, but Target's vast reams of
data showed that in cases where women bought these items unexpectedly, several months later
they'd buy diapers and other baby-related items, too, suggesting that the former items
were bought during pregnancy.
This allowed the store to accurately predict that the girl was pregnant.
Of course they don't get it right every time, but the fact they're even able to
get it right once is evidence enough that humans are depressingly predictable when it
comes to shopping.
Speaking of which…

Credit Card Companies Know if You'll Skip Out on a Debt Based on if You Like Birds
Credit cards are like handguns, in that you probably shouldn't let a person with poor
impulse control hold one lest they wave it around in a store and walk out wearing a floor-length
chinchilla coat.
As evil as they all are, credit card companies, like any of us, just want to get paid.
To this end, they hire people to pore through the reams of data they collect to better allow
them to predict whether a person is good for the money they borrow.
One of the more unusual predictors of whether a person will pay back a given debt is, rather
oddly, buying fancy bird seed.
As stupid as it sounds, analysis shows people willing to drop 20 bucks on premium, bald
eagle-friendly bird seed seldom ever default on a payment.
As innocuous as such a purchase seems, it's one of those things that is indicative of
a person's overall personality.
Think of it like littering, or being rude to waiters: it's a small, almost trivial
thing, but the kind of person who does it likely acts like an entitled douche in other
areas of their life.
As summed up by author Charles Duhigg:
"If you buy premium wild bird seed, you're spending a lot of money on something that
you're going to give away to birds you don't own.
They [Credit card companies] basically figured out that the types of people who do that,
pay off their credit card on time, because they feel this sense of moral obligation."
Because of this, bird seed and other such purchases are often taken into consideration
by credit card companies when it comes to deciding how much credit to give a person.

Buying Underwear can Indicate the State of the Economy
The economy is a weird, nebulous entity that few people are capable of fully understanding.
That's why we're going to give you all a crash course in something known as the 'underwear
index'.
Basically, there's an observable and studied correlation between sales of men's underwear
and the current state of the economy.
In a nutshell, during times of economic hardship, men buy fewer pairs.
Which seems… well, obvious.
We all make sacrifices when times are tough, but underwear is unique in that while it's
an essential purchase, it is one that can be put off.
Economists liken it to "driving your car for another 10,000 miles instead of having
it serviced."
It's a minor choice that says a lot about the person making it.
Unlike other items of men's clothing that are purchased sporadically, underwear is a
predictable purchase, so when sales of it drop, it is a fairly reasonable indicator
of the current state of the economy.
If 10 million dudes aren't willing to drop 10 bucks on a new dong pouch, there's a
good chance that the economy they work in isn't all that strong.

Whether or Not You Kiss Your Partner Before Work Can Influence if You'll Die in a Car
Crash
Few things are more intimate than kissing, and we're just going to go right ahead and
say that if there's a person out there who lets you kiss their face, all available research
says that you should be doing as much as possible.
Research has shown that men who kiss their wives before work every morning live longer,
earn more money, and are 50% less likely to be killed in a car crash.
You may scoff at this, but numbers never lie and they all point to kissing your partner
or spouse being awesome.
Now, we don't live in the Harry Potter universe, so the act of expressing your love doesn't
cast a magical bubble around you or anything.
It's more an act that's indicative of how you live the rest of your life.
Like a lot of other things on this list, kissing is a minor thing that says a lot about your
overall personality, with people who do it the most being more likely to be hold a positive
outlook on life (sad people are notoriously bad kissers).
Psychologists believe that kissing your partner each morning is a strong indicator that you're,
overall, a positive person, which in turn suggests you live a healthier lifestyle, which
in turn suggests you'll live longer, earn more, and be less likely to drive into a ditch.
Again, it's not that kissing magically fixes all your problems, but if you have someone
in your life you care about romantically, it's probably not a bad idea to do it more.
The worst that can happen is you get to grab a handful of butt, which is always great.

Owning an iPhone Makes You a Terrible Person (According to Android Users)
The internet has a collective throb on for anything that involves making fun of iPhone
owners, which is why studies like the ones we're about the quote often go viral when
they're released.
For example, in late 2016 a study was conducted that found that iPhone owners, in general,
seem to display lower levels of "honesty and integrity", a finding that was gleefully
touted across the web by avid Android users.
While the study did indeed find a seemingly concrete correlation between personality and
the brand of phone a person had in their pocket, to the point the lead researcher said they
could predict what type of phone a person used based on a simple, unrelated questionnaire
with about 70% accuracy, it's not the whole story.
One thing that was mysteriously left out of all the articles slamming iPhone users is
that the study also showed that iPhone owners were more likely to be female, have a degree,
and earn significantly more than their Android using peers.
Which goes hand-in-hand with data showing rich people tend to be douchebags anyway,
due to a sense of perceived entitlement.
2.
Using Twitter Means You Have Shorter Relationships
Most everyone these days uses social media.
The internet has resulted in a noticeable increase in the amount of people being joined
at the hip, with anywhere between 5 and 10% of long term relationships today beginning
online, depending on your source.
With the advent and subsequent removal of the stigma surrounding online dating, the
sites that offer the service have an unbelievable amount of information related to the world
of getting our freak on with the opposite sex.
One of the more unusual things people parsing through the endless reams of data sites like
OKCupid have is that there's a link between relationship length and the use of Twitter.
Though nobody at OKCupid is exactly sure why this is the case, the site's co-founder
has explained that the data shows a "measurable and consistent" difference between the overall
length of Twitter users' relationships compared to those who don't tweet that much, or at
all.
The key thing here is that this only seems to apply to people who use Twitter all the
time.
You know, like those people who always Tweet pictures of their food and stuff.
Numerous theories have arisen about why exactly this seems to be the case, ranging from shorter
attention spans of Twitter users to an increasingly narcissistic society.
Or, you know, it could just be that people who use Twitter all the time are kind of boring
to be around?
Anyway, erm, why not follow us on Twitter?

Simply Liking the Taste of Beer Means You're More Likely to Put Out on a First Date
Sex on the first date is a weirdly antiquated taboo that, nonetheless, has a huge social
stigma surrounding it.
But lets say that, like 99% of people in the world you, our viral young (or young at heart)
reader, like sex and want to be matched with someone who similarly likes doing the horizontal
hug.
All you have to do is ask if they like the taste of beer.
Again gleaned from data released by OKCupid, the site found that among users of all ages,
genders, and sexualities, the single biggest signifier of whether they would consider having
sex on a first date is if they responded positively to the question "Do you like the taste of
beer?"
There's no data about why exactly this is the case, but we're guessing that it has
something to do with those people spending their first date getting hammered.
Oh, uh, totally unrelated… happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
Wink, wink.
Interestingly, while the beer question was the only accurate signifier OKCupid could
find that indicated a woman would enjoy some intercourse a few hours after meeting someone,
for men there were a few more… interesting results.
For example, the site also found that men who'd find the prospect of nuclear annihilation
exciting, can imagine themselves taking a life, and would feel comfortable launching
a nuke were also more likely to have sex on a first date.
Then again, if you're comfortable ending the world in a nuclear holocaust, we're
guessing the taboo about touching genitals moments after meeting isn't something you'd
be all that concerned about.

Spotlight - 2017 Ford F-150, 6" BDS, 20x10's, and 35's - Duration: 6:21.
- Hey guys, Shawn again, Custom Offsets TV on YouTube,
got a vehicle spotlight for you,
pretty excited to show you this one.
It's another one of our 2017 F-150's that we just
put a six inch BDS and some 10 wides and some 35's.
Let's go.
(exciting rap music)
(thumping bass music)
- Hey guys, like I said this is
one of our 2017 Ford f-150 builds.
There's a partnership ship we're doing with Holiday,
so they're bringing us brand new trucks
and then we get to outfit them.
This one we spent a little extra time working
on the color combination, we wanted to go with
one of these new gray wheels,
so what we picked is the Moto Metal 962,
and you're gonna see that it's got
that graphite gray look to it,
and then it's also got the milling
on all of the windows there,
and then milled rivets all the way around.
And that's gonna be a 20x10" -24,
so we'll get you that bill test,
and you're gonna see ...
That it's about a four inch lip,
I would say about three and three quarter.
So that 10 wide negative 24 gives you that nice lip
on that Moto Metal 962.
And then we wrapped those in
the Toyo Open Country A-T II extreme,
so you're gonna see that's
a really aggressive all-terrain tire,
so it's got a nice aggressive look to it,
but it's still gonna give you the ride quality
nice and quiet of an all-terrain.
And then that's a 35, twelve and a half,
so 35 tall, twelve and a half wide,
and that's nice because it gives you
a little bit of sidewall protection for that wheel
'cause it's a 10 wide wheel on that twelve and a half tire.
For suspension, again we went with the six inch BDS
so you'll see the six inch, this strut spacer in there,
and then back here you'll see the FOX 2.0 shocks,
also an upgrade.
Really just putting the best of the best together
with Moto Metal, Toyo Open Country,
and then the FOX suspension.
As far as fitting it, with that 10 wide and that 35,
it's a little aggressive for the six inch,
but we just go about it by doing some trimming.
So we go in and trim off that front crash bar,
take off that plastic down below
the valance in the lower of the bumper there,
and then same thing back here,
just take the end of that bar in the back
and then she fits.
So there's no other rubbing,
she's now got complete clearance at full lock.
So that's your wheels and tires,
let's check out the rest of this thing.
You'll see from front to back that everything's
gonna be painted to match, this is the sport 150 FX4,
so you'll the front bumpers are gonna be painted to match,
you're gonna see that the
side handle are all painted to match,
and I'll show you on the rear of the tailgate, same thing.
We also went through and did
the bushwhacker pocket-style fender flares,
and we have those all painted to match.
So it really just combines the whole truck
for almost a white-out effect
with just a little bit of black
and you'll notice there's no chrome really in the vehicle,
couple little rivets in the pocket flares
to match the rivets on the wheels and that's about it,
and of course your emblems.
So back here you'll see the bumper's also painted to match,
with your backup sensors,
this thing's got backup camera and all the options.
And then the handle, painted to match.
You see it's got the stock steps,
and then inside what we did is pull the cloth out of there
and swapped it with a real good catskin leather replacement,
and you see the white stitching to match
the whole white theme of the truck.
And you'll see the thing's totally optioned out,
if you check out the gauge cluster, the touch screen,
it's got all the bells and whistles.
Like I said it's the FX4 edition.
And then back here you'll see that nice big back seat.
Put that down for you Mario.
So you got a lot of room back there.
This one here's the crew cab,
get your whole crew in there Mario.
For the crew. Cab, for the crew.
And then window tint, you'll see we matched
the front windows to the rears for that 20% tint.
And what been doing for all of these
for the dealership trucks is we also
put a programmer in them, so what that programmer's gonna do
is it's gonna take those 35 inch tires into consideration
and it's gonna set your speedo so it's right on
with what the factory size would have been for the speedo.
Otherwise you'd probably be, on a 35,
you'd probably be off three to five miles and hour
at 65 or 70 miles an hour,
so that sets that all up to be
just like brand new and working perfectly.
That is another one of our holiday builds,
we will put the link above or below
so you guys can check that out
and snap it up if you're interested,
like I said it's an absolutely brand new truck
that just got the BDS, some 35's,
and she's ready to go to her new home.
Appreciate you guys, peace.

Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) LEAKED! - Duration: 2:14.
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy J series smartphones - the J5 (2017) and J7 (2017) - have not only
been the subjects of several rumors and leaks so far, but have also received various certifications.
And now, they have been officially confirmed by the company, although not directly.
Specifically, the Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) monikers have been spotted on the
tech giant's South Korean website.
They are listed among the devices that are compatible with the Kids Mode feature.
The Galaxy J7 (2017) and Galaxy J5 (2017) are both rumored to feature a 13MP front shooter,
full metal body, as well as a fingerprint sensor.
The former is also said to sport a full HD display resolution, pack in 3GB RAM and 3,600mAh
battery.
The latter, on the other hand, is rumored to be powered by an SoC with octa-core processor.
Both run Android Nougat out of the box.
Rumored pricing is €339 for the J7 (2017) and €279 for the J5 (2017).
The new Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) phones were spotted by SamMobile.
The listing also revealed the specs of the phones, but the company is yet to announce
the devices.
The Galaxy J series is company's affordable range of Android smartphones.
While the high-end smartphones attract more attention, the low-end phones are vital for
phonemakers such as Samsung, Nokia and Motorola.
The J series is an ideal smartphone that can run the Android Go software.
I'm definitely really excited for the upcoming J5 and J7 as the phones are in my opinion
quite amazing for the price, what do you think?
Let me know in the comments bellow.
Anyway guys, that's pretty much it for the video, thank you for watching, this video's
shoutout goes to Jaynathi – thank you so much for having my push notifications on,
if you'd like a shoutout in one of my videos, turn on my push notifications and let me know
when you're done.
Anyway I'll see you all, next time.
