<i>For all its inconveniences,</i>
<i>Laing was satisfied with life in the high-rise.</i>
<i>Now that so many of the residents were out of the way,</i>
<i>he felt able to relax.</i>
<i>More in charge of himself.</i>
<i>Ready to move forward and explore life.</i>
<i>How and where, exactly...</i>
I see the rot's set in.
<i>...he had not yet decided.</i>
Do you fancy a drink?
Cosgrove is here.
All boys together.
<i>Sometimes he found it difficult not to believe</i>
<i>they were living in a future that had already taken place.</i>
Oh, Christ!
Oh, bad luck.
Or is it good luck? I can never remember.
Ooh!
So sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
I'll survive.
I don't doubt it.
You're an excellent specimen.
I thought you were empty.
Yeah, I... I just moved in.
I'm Charlotte Melville.
Hi. Sorry, I must have fallen asleep.
God, I hope we haven't frightened him off.
So what if we have?
- I say. - Yeah?
Why don't you come up later and have a drink?
- I'm having a party. - Thanks, I'll try.
What time do you want us tonight?
- Seven sharp. - That reminds me.
I haven't given you your birthday present yet.
You know you're not my type.
Besides, shouldn't you be off to the television studios?
I'm not their type either.
Come on.
I can't. I haven't drunk enough yet.
I don't wanna disappoint them.
What is Helen feeding you?
Nothing. She's too depressed to cook.
I should have married someone like you.
- Stoic and perfectly breasted. - Mm.
You know, I'd dearly like to get in between those thighs of yours
one of these days.
You really are too much sometimes, Wilder.
Am I?
<i>Has something happened that could cause a build-up</i>
<i>of negative energy?</i>
My sister died recently.
Really?
Yes, of course.
Sorry, it's just people normally lie here and just... lie.
To get an extra ten minutes, you know?
I don't have an extra ten minutes.
"All large rubbish bags... No large bags."
Nappies.
- I'm sorry? - They block up the chute.
I don't have any children, so...
Good. They urinate in the pool.
I'll remember that.
Fifty-eight. Male.
Schizophrenic. Myocardial infarction.
Bit of an old tortoise, wasn't he?
Respect shouldn't be set aside
with any perfectly natural feelings of revulsion.
Now, in time you may specialize in the clinical treatment
of mental illness, research into its origins,
development or manifestations.
But let's start with the nuts and bolts.
As you can see, the facial mask simply slips off the skull.
Munrow?
Munrow?
You've taken a fall.
So...
Yes, I'm afraid I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
- Slotting in, you mean? - Yes.
I was rather expecting to find a certain kind of anonymity here.
Don't worry, people don't usually care what happens
two floors above or below them.
Good.
Charlotte's different. She's on all sorts of committees.
She said your tenancy application was very Byronic.
- Did she really? - Mm.
Well, I'm determined to get everything right.
Right.
Top-up?
- Yes, thank you. - Come on.
- Which floor are you? - 25.
One floor down.
- Tennis? - No, squash actually.
That's 20, I think.
Why here and not a bachelor pad in town?
An investment in the future, I suppose.
I felt like I needed a clean slate to put my mark on.
We're down in the bottom, in all sorts of shadows.
Most families are. Real ones, anyway.
You blocked the chute.
- I'm sorry? - This is Steele. He's in teeth.
You don't know how things work around here yet, do you?
No, but I'm a fast learner.
I'm an orthodontist, not a homosexual.
Good for you.
Steele fixes the children.
I'm afraid they eat too many sweets.
Helen's an armchair environmentalist.
She cares, that's her thing.
- Have you heard of recycling? - No, I...
What she hasn't grasped is the detrimental effect
of all these rotten toothed little imps.
The women around here would help the planet more
by keeping their legs crossed.
This one's late. Doesn't want to come out.
- Mummy. - Mm?
Toby's got a radio set.
You have to build it yourself. Can I have one?
If you're good.
Is that your wife going into the bathroom with Cosgrove?
Cosgrove reads the news. Have you seen him on TV?
- No. - He's very good.
Very convincing.
Excuse me.
Injustice. My husband can't bear it.
He's been making a documentary about it for years but...
...I think he's lost his focus.
Excuse me?
Mm.
Thank you very much.
<i>Floor 25.</i>
Oh, fuck.
Hi, Jean, it's me.
Listen, I'm not gonna come in this morning.
Wait. What about Munrow? Did he turn up for that scan?
Okay, good.
Well, leave it on my desk if it turns up.
<i>And no, no, I don't need anything. It's all here.</i>
- Hi. - You didn't buzz.
Was I meant to?
Obviously.
Hi.
You haven't changed.
I'm sorry, I don't think I can.
Oh, well. Your loss.
Are you the new doctor?
Yeah. Yes, I am.
But not the kind you probably need.
If someone's injured, I can call the infirmary.
Mr. Royal wants to see you.
Now.
I'm sorry, who?
This is a very nice lift.
Private.
You won't be needing that.
<i>Floor 40. Penthouse.</i>
Terrace.
Ah, Doctor Laing.
I hear you play squash.
Yes, I do. You built all this?
Dreamt. Conceived. I hardly rolled my sleeves up.
Course, the project's far from finished.
There will be five towers in all, encircling the lake.
Something like an open hand.
The lake is the palm and we stand on the distal phalanx
of the index finger.
There.
I've put all my energies into this tower.
I'm its midwife, so to speak.
Mm.
It looks like the unconscious diagram
of some kind of psychic event.
That's good. Can I use that?
By all means.
Of course, I'm a modernist by trade but you, a doctor,
will understand one prescribes as required.
That folly out there is for my wife.
Her chief distraction is the careful cultivation
of an intense sort of nostalgia.
For what?
Why delve?
My car was crushed by a reversing cement truck.
I'm afraid I'm not a physiotherapist.
I know what you are, Doctor Laing.
Constant exercise is the only thing
that keeps the pain at bay.
So you could say not only am I the building's first
road casualty, but I am the architect of my own accident.
What do you think of that?
- Is that a horse? - Probably.
My wife rides.
On the 40th floor?
This is Simmons, one of my go-betweens.
Yes, ...we met.
Squash.
Friday, six a.m. Hmm?
- Why not. - Hmm. Good.
Oh, Laing?
My wife's giving a "thing" the day after tomorrow.
Full of the sort of people you should know
if you're to get the measure of the place.
Thank you.
Why is there never a damn switch for what I need?
I hope you're here to fix this.
I'm sorry?
I, um... I thought this was in a museum.
Well, you were wrong, weren't you?
Fucking hell.
Here, let me try.
Sorry about that.
It's inoperable, I'm afraid.
Doctor, this way.
Excuse me.
Royal likes you.
It's unusual.
Do you know, he hasn't left his penthouse since the accident.
You seem to know everyone.
But everyone thinks they know me.
That's the trick.
There's a rigid social hierarchy here,
whether Royal likes it or not.
Can you write me a script for sleeping pills?
No.
Then tell me how your sister died.
How do you know that?
Walls have ears.
I suppose I look like her.
You don't have to tell me anything.
I only really want to talk about myself.
There's a brothel somewhere in the building.
I can find out for you if you'd like.
- <i>Charlotte?</i> - Darling?
Charlotte?
Hi.
This is Toby, my son.
- Hi. - Where's Laura?
Sorry. Just warming the milk.
- Doesn't matter, I'm going out. - I don't need a babysitter.
What you need is to go to sleep
or you'll be tired for school in the morning.
I don't want to go to school.
Of course you don't want to go to school,
but we all have to do things we don't want to do.
It's what growing up is all about.
Isn't that right, Robert?
Yeah.
Yep.
Sweet dreams.
- Batteries. - I haven't forgotten.
Come on, you.
He's smart as a whip.
I call him the little professor. He hates it.
Hmm.
Hmm.
You're going?
I...
I thought we were... I thought we were doing this.
We've done it.
You know, you look much better without your clothes on.
You're lucky. Not many people do.
Fascist pig!
<i>Welcome to the 15th floor market.</i>
<i>Today we have a special offer on French bread</i>
<i>and French</i> fromage.
<i>Thank you for shopping on floor 15.</i>
Would you like an autograph?
Actually, I was looking for the Riesling.
- What? - <i>Grammaire.</i>
Should I know that woman?
That's Jane Sheridan.
The actress.
She doesn't need all that stuff, she just likes spending money.
She's preparing for a new role.
She's going to play a desperately sad actress
who lives alone in an apartment block.
Keep the change.
There isn't any.
Munrow. Banking.
Pangbourne. Gynecology.
My son's pursuing medicine.
Amongst other things, I should hope.
That's him.
He's quite reassuring but rather cold hands.
Your husband appears intent on colonizing the sky, Mrs. Royal.
And who can blame him when you look at what's going on
down at... street level?
The German press say he's a genius.
Ha! Germans.
We're award-winning. You can't argue with that.
Munrow.
You feeling better?
Oh, you.
- Did you invite him? - Of course not.
No, Royal did, actually. I hope you don't mind.
Must be one of his funny little social experiments.
What have you come as?
A dilettante?
Champagne, sir?
Yeah, thanks.
I wouldn't take it personally, sir.
- No? - No.
I've seen you at the gym, haven't I?
Yeah.
You set a very good pace.
So do you.
Well, it takes a certain determination to row against
the current.
Yes, it does.
Ah, Simmons, how are you?
Excuse me.
Won't be needing that.
Cheap bastard.
Wall?
So, how long were you stuck?
Not long, in the scheme of things.
Teething problems. Building is still settling.
Still, I hear all the floors from the first to the twelfth
were out of power for several hours.
Yeah. Probably more fun in that lift than at Ann's party.
I must apologize for my wife.
She was brought up in the insulation
of a large country house.
She feels a constant need to re-establish herself
on the top rung.
We toy with each other.
Not sexually, of course.
By the way, I hear you're fucking 374.
Her name is Charlotte Melville.
Yeah, Charlotte. That's right.
She has quite a tight cunt, as I recall.
Believe me, I understand.
At your age, straightforward, biological reason supervenes.
But some of the people who live here,
haven't you've seen them?
The vanguard of the well-to-do.
They've fitted themselves so tightly into their slots that...
...they no longer have room to escape themselves.
Slots designed by you.
I know.
I'd conceived this building to be a crucible for change.
I must have missed some vital element.
What are you going to do about it?
There are women on my floor with babies
and they can't even boil a kettle
so they can sterilize their baby's bottles.
Look... Look! If you lower people overload the system,
- there will be cuts. - Who are you calling "people"?
Look, I commend your bravery, old son, but don't push it.
You know very well that's not what we were sold.
I know for a fact that you're in arrears
with your service payments, Mr. Wilder.
You're hardly in a position to take the moral high ground.
- Tell him. - No.
Go on!
My daughter was interfered with in the dark.
She's certain it was someone from the top.
He was wearing expensive cologne
and stuffed a copy of the <i>Financial Times</i> in her mouth.
We pay the same charges as the top floors.
We want our fair share of the power.
Now you pull your finger out or I'll take it above your head!
I think you've made your point, Wilder.
Hey, wait! Why don't you just hold on a minute there.
Where the bloody hell do you think you're going?
The service lift's out. Gotta come up front.
White wine. Thank God.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oi!
If you're thinking of taking your grievances to the top,
I doubt you'll find much sympathy.
You've met the architect?
Hovers over the place like a fucking albatross.
No.
One should pity him really.
Oh. One should, should one?
Very magnanimous of you, I'm sure.
Listen, you couldn't give me a lift to the television studios,
could you?
No, I'm sorry.
I can't seem to remember where I left my car.
Funny, neither can I.
Why don't we have to go to school?
I don't know, I'll think of something.
You don't want mummy to be lonely, do you?
That's not how you spell "arse", darling.
<i>...rioting, which broke out on Tuesday after prisoners refused</i>
<i>to return to their cells has escalated significantly</i>
<i>according to prison...</i>
<i>I'm sorry, it can't go on.</i>
<i>But it was you that pursued me.</i>
<i>It's over. Do you hear me?</i>
<i>Oh.</i>
Oh, you're better!
Munrow's scan. He's absolutely fine.
He's uncommonly arrogant.
He needs bringing down a peg or two.
He's young.
Jean. Please.
How's the high-life?
Prone to fits of mania, narcissism and power failure.
Sounds an interesting case. Right up your street.
Possibly.
So, what's your final decision?
Everyone else has submitted.
It's only you who's procrastinating, as usual.
Cheese and pickle.
Thank you, Jean.
Munrow?
- A word, please. - Just a minute, Laing.
Look, so I'll see you tomorrow.
Perfect.
<i>Funny us living in the same building.</i>
We're just below Royal.
Where are you?
You took a tumble the other day and we sent you for a scan.
Yes, it was unnecessary fuss. I hadn't eaten.
I'm afraid we might have found something.
What do you mean "something"?
My father's not gonna like this.
Woo-hoo! Come on, darling!
Chop-chop! Half a league onward!
- What are you in again? - Sound.
Just got back from Tanzania.
Recording the mating cry of the baboon.
Awful bloody things. They throw shit at you.
That's it.
An object that is in motion will not change its velocity
unless an external force acts upon it.
I've no qualms about the invasion of my privacy
by government agencies or data processing organizations.
All I want is my fair share of the electricity so I can turn
a damned light on and ensure I've wiped my backside properly.
Teething problems, Wilder. The building is still settling.
Yeah, that what Herr Royal told you, was it?
The fact is, we're all bio-robots now.
I mean none of us can live without the equipment
we surround ourselves with. Cameras, cars, telephones.
Exactly.
- Thank you, Helen, very much. - I wanna go home.
I suspect Laing here has been charged with disseminating
propaganda amongst the lower orders.
The dangling carrot of friendship and approval.
Look, Toby, try to fit in, all right?
You want people to like you, don't you?
The children were turned away from the pool this morning
- for being too noisy. - Under whose authority?
Our lives are too messy, Richard.
Successful people don't want to be reminded
that things can go wrong.
Is that right, Laing?
Are we the ones letting the building down?
I think any sensible person would envy what you have here.
Well, I won't have my children humiliated.
We'll start a parents' action group.
- Here we go. - Who wants to go swimming?
All right, come on.
Richard, I don't have costumes for all these children.
I don't even know if they can all swim.
I'm not a parent but I am a psychiatrist. Will that do?
The more the merrier. Come on, no time like the present.
Come on, kids!
<i>Swimming pool, swimming pool...</i>
- One thing's for sure. - Yeah?
This building's nowhere near as homogenous
as someone would like to think.
- You're right about that. - Yeah. I'll see you later.
Bye.
<i>Swimming pool, swimming pool...</i>
<i>Swimming pool, swimming pool...</i>
Is it always like this here?
Yes.
<i>Swimming pool, swimming pool...</i>
<i>Swimming pool...</i>
Why haven't you got a wife?
Why haven't you got a father?
I'm so sorry. I...
I didn't mean to say that out loud.
Sorry, Toby. Come on, let's help clear this up.
Laura said your family's all dead.
- What? - Did you kill them?
Um.
No. No, Toby, I didn't.
What does it feel like to be the last one?
You know, Toby, um...
when I was your age I was always covered in something.
Mud.
Jam. Failure.
My father would never associate with anything dirty.
- Or real. - My father's up there.
You mean he's in heaven?
Heaven's not real, stupid.
You should have gone with him.
I'm gonna take Toby home.
I think I've forgotten how to sleep.
You know, everyone's in terrible debt like us, I'm certain.
They're just better at hiding it.
Perhaps I can help.
Fuck's sake.
Come on, Toby, let's take the stairs.
<i>Swimming pool, swimming pool...</i>
Guys, it's closed.
Daiquiri for the screen siren.
There's nothing there.
Are you blind as well as stupid?
Look in my ear and tell me what you see.
Our party.
Our rules!
- Mind if we join you? - Yes, we do.
Share and share alike, Janie.
Last one in's a big fat sissy!
I shouldn't really.
No, you shouldn't.
It's undercooked. Send it back.
If it isn't the social climber.
She got you babysitting now, has she?
Hold your horses.
That staircase is closed.
Don't be absurd.
Well, we'll just have to make our own entertainment.
Won't we?
Come on. Crack a smile, why don't you.
Scared your mascara will run?
You'll never work in television again,
I'll make damn sure of that.
<i>No children allowed.</i>
Why didn't you punch him?
Good question.
What's happening?
Have you seen Laura? She's supposed to be babysitting.
No.
I'm going to the pool.
- Give me that fucking candle. - Who the hell is that?
Out of my way.
Munrow, know of a decent party we can crash?
Out of my way!
Pity.
An animal like this should be strong enough to swim for hours.
It was like a child to her.
Pathetic really.
Where did you sneak off to?
Oh, well, the chlorine doesn't agree with my eczema.
Well, don't do it again.
It reflects badly on a man's character. Give me that.
Whoa.
Kids' parties always put me on fucking edge.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Eeny, meeny, miny...
mo.
Oops a daisy, you seem to have fallen off your tuffet.
My hero.
Save me from myself.
Get your hands off her, you cocky bastard.
I may be a bastard, madam, but I'm a polite bastard.
- She's out of your league. - What about you, Sonny Jim?
Lover boy. Twinkle toes.
Are you in my league, by any chance?
Come on. Show the lady what you're made of.
Oh, dear, dear. That's not a good start, is it?
Shall we try again?
Try using your fists this time.
It's traditional.
Oh!
Should we do something?
Well, that's a matter of opinion.
There's a school of thought that says we shouldn't.
Could do more harm than good.
Huh? Sonny Jim.
Wilder, stop it.
What do you think of Laing?
Well, he's hiding in plain sight.
It's not a bad party, is it?
There is something about him.
Come on.
Ha, ha, ha!
You can cross him off your waiting list.
He won't be needing a head doctor any time soon.
No, he won't.
No.
So who do you want me to blame?
Suicide.
Yeah.
God, I feel sorry for his mother.
I'm sure his people are taking care of everything.
What's in all of these boxes anyway?
Sex and paranoia.
What did you say?
Nothing.
- Shall we get some air? - Is that your sister?
Probably.
Did you get any sleep?
Not really. You?
No.
Talbot's right.
It's as if everyone suddenly silently
decided to cross some line.
- Be worse tonight. - It's not that bad, surely?
- Can't be. - Are you sure you're a doctor?
Of course I am. What else would I be?
Yuck!
Laing!
Listen, I've got an idea.
A solid one.
<i>I need an introduction to the architect.</i>
I'm gonna make a documentary about this place.
That young man Munrow, you know, the one who died last night?
He'll make a good starting point.
I mean, doesn't it seem odd, Laing,
that a man can fall from the 39th floor
and not one police car turn up?
Where's the investigation, Laing?
I mean, where's the sirens?
Laing!
Christ!
Who was that?
Wilder.
What did he want? Why didn't he come in?
I don't know, some scheme.
I'd steer clear of him for a while.
Of Wilder?
Don't be absurd. He went a bit overboard with Simmons,
but really he wouldn't hurt a fly.
What about a dog?
It's rude to spy, Toby.
Leave him be, he's not doing any harm.
I wouldn't, if I were you.
What have you got there?
- A kaleidoscope. - Oh.
What can you see through that thing?
The future.
And what do you want to be in that future of yours?
An engine driver? An astronaut?
- I wanna be better than you. - Oh, for God's sake, Toby.
He's quite right.
I should go and change.
Simmons is right.
Wilder is nothing but an unconscionable
fucking reprobate.
He's symptomatic, isn't he?
You know, the whole place obviously needs a firmer hand.
There's no food left. Only the dog's.
And Mrs. Hillman is refusing to clean unless I pay her
what I apparently owe her.
Like all poor people, she's obsessed with money.
Yes.
You know, we can't have a repeat of last night.
We have got to show the lower floors
that we can throw a better party than them.
Healthy competition is the basis of a modern thriving economy.
But you're right, we must prevail.
Right, first things first.
We must commandeer all necessary resources.
Simmons? List.
Booze.
Canapés.
Cocktail onions.
Other suggestions?
Cake.
Are we talking about a raiding party then?
Not so harsh.
Although I think we should be prepared
to meet moderate resistance.
Ah.
Royal. Just the man.
You still hold the key to the building,
symbolically, at least.
We'd like you to lead a delegation.
Where to? The United Nations?
The supermarket.
Richard?
- Is that you? - It's all right.
Go back to sleep.
What are you doing?
I'm starting a new project.
Another prison documentary?
- Richard? - What?
You shouldn't leave me alone like that.
I love you but I don't trust you.
I don't think I ever have. Isn't that sad?
You're not alone.
You've got the children.
Things would be better if we could afford to move
to a higher floor.
It's the light I envy them up there.
Stop torturing yourself.
You're perfectly happy.
Try and be more like Charlotte.
Less giving, you mean?
- At least leave me some money. - There's money on the table.
Excuse me.
Get out of my way!
Residuum.
Some of these people generate the most unusual garbage.
Objects that could well be of interest to the Vice Squad.
Look.
I don't know anything about it.
I don't know what caused it.
And I didn't do it.
We're on the same level.
That's all that counts now.
At least until all of this blows over.
Restrain that intruder!
There, look! What we need is a good sturdy chain!
What are you doing?
I'm packing to leave.
What do you think?
Has anyone actually made a formal complaint to the owners?
We are the owners.
Pass me that green thing. Daddy likes to see me in it.
You're not going anywhere. I forbid it.
Well...
That's the first time he's touched me in... Six months?
<i>Simmons!</i>
<i>Simmons!</i>
What's wrong? Poor little chap.

<i>Welcome to the 15th floor market.</i>
<i>Today we have a special offer on French bread</i>
<i>and French</i> fromage.
<i>Thank you for shopping on floor 15.</i>
Talbot! Where the hell are you hiding, man?
The model here is less the noble savage
and more our un-innocent post-Freudian selves.
Perhaps they resent never having had the chance
to become perverse.
Outraged by all that over-indulgent toilet training.
Queue's back here, pal.
Good. Working. Need to get to the top.
This money's yours if you can point me in the direction
of the service lift.
Oh, hello, girls. Out on a spree, are we?
That's Wilder!
Yes, I recognize you from the foyer.
Sort of an agitator type.
Bet you wish you'd gone to the back of the bloody queue now.
Bastard!
Obviously a far more dangerous mix than anything our
Victorian forebears had to cope with anyway.
Excuse me, let me through, please.
Hold on. What have you got?
- Let me see it. - Don't touch that.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Let me through, it's my paint.
Get off that, it's mine.
It's mine!
It's my paint!
You really smashed him up.
I think you burst his eyeball.
Misogynist!
Talbot?
He's expecting us. I wonder where he is.
Don't think you can count on the Geneva bloody Convention
to get you out of this one, you longhaired poofter.
Help! Help!
Room for two more?
I haven't got any money. Will this do?
Look after your brother.
Why? You made him.
Is it the bomb?
- When are you coming back? - Soon.
Are you freaking out?
Kiss.
Kiss.
Helen.
Come in, come in.
Please.
It's so nice to see you.
Listen, you must give me your opinion.
I think I've finally found the right tone.
What do you think?

I don't know.
Well who invited all these people?
They invited themselves.
You can't hide up here forever.
You'll have to go down there and save her.
He's right.
She could get herself killed.
Or worse.
Unless that's what you want.
You are fired.
I don't work for you.
I work for the building.
<i>Fisher, south-westerly,</i>
<i>bearing westerly,</i>
<i>six to gale eight, perhaps severe gale nine later.</i>
<i>Rain then wintry showers, moderate or poor becoming good.</i>
<i>German Bight and Humber.</i>
Come on! Come, come, come!
<i>Et tu,</i> Digby?
Right.
Which one of you bastards is going to fuck me up the ass?
<i>...rain at times,</i>
<i>moderate or poor becoming good.</i>
<i>Biscay, south-westerly, six to gale eight.</i>
<i>Occasional rain, moderate or poor.</i>
I'm coming.
- What floor are you on? - Uh, this one.
What are you doing?
Shh.
Richard Wilder.
It's a real pleasure, Mr. Wilder.
I'd watch out, if I were you.
There's some very unhappy bunnies bouncing about.
<i>Hello?</i>
White.
Mr. Royal.
Everything all right, sir?
Perfectly.
Bit of a mess in there, isn't it?
Oh, you know, nothing that can't be "swept under the rug".
Enough!
Kill you. Go on, all of you!
Quite enough fun at my wife's expense.
So if you will excuse us.
We have guests waiting upstairs.
Guests?
- Come on, come on. - Silly old me.
Thank you, darling.
I don't know what I would have done without you.
Shh.
Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!
I won't be ignored.
Tell me about the architect.
Senior side down!
I won't be ignored. You work for the Royals,
you must have a way into the penthouse.
If I give you the key, will you get my money?
Money? Of course.
If you really wanna know about Anthony Royal,
you'll have to talk to that tart on 26
with that poor little bastard of his.
Charlotte Melville?
That's her.
To sweethearts and wives.
May they never meet.
I suppose you're a good boy really, aren't you?
Big enough to come and go as you please.
Big enough to have your own key.
What are you doing?
I want to see you, just once, properly.
Please don't.
I'm nearly perfectly happy just as I am.
Probably for the first time.
Well, Charlotte's right about one thing.
You are definitely the best amenity in the building.
Bugger off, you little shit!
Or I'll pull your teeth out through your ears
and use them for buttons!
Fuck!
What's this?
It's all right, Steele.
Are you sure?
It could be worth something.
I've heard people are bartering wives for food on other floors.
I'm not that hungry.
<i>Charlotte's right about one thing.</i>
<i>You are definitely the best amenity in the building.</i>
<i>My name is Richard Wilder.</i>
My name is Richard Wilder!
<i>My name is Richard Wilder!</i>
My name is Richard Wilder!
Richard Wilder!
Wilder?
What are you doing here? How did you get in?
I thought you'd be downstairs manning the barricades.
I only came to get the last of the supplies
but I see you found them.
Get off!
I know why I'm not your type.
Don't be so silly.
Oh, God, it's not just you. It's everyone.
Fibber.
Let go!
I know about you.
I know about the architect.
I know about Toby.
You don't know anything.
Quite the little building project, isn't he, our Toby?
The little professor.
Power will be restored tomorrow.
Day after at the latest.
I'll help you with your stupid documentary then.
But now I'm going back to the party.
Oh, I think you've had enough excitement for one day.
Richard, stop it. Stop it!
No!
Please help me.
Please help!
Please!
<i>What are you doing in there?</i>
<i>What are you doing?</i>
<i>What are you doing in there?</i>
<i>What do you all do while I'm at work?</i>
Good morning.
Now he's raping people he's not supposed to.
And to top it all, Mercer here says he actually shat
in his attaché case.
Seems Richard Wilder is certainly a maverick.
A barrister, aren't you, Mercer?
Retired.
But it's still, it's the principle.
And I suppose you believe that there should be unspoken rules?
Even for this sort of thing?
Quite.
Simmons has come up with a workable solution.
We get Laing to lobotomize Wilder.
You can't be serious.
It's an interesting thought.
For the good of the building, you mean?
If you like.
Shouldn't be too difficult.
We've already made contact with Laing.
He insists on carrying out a psychological evaluation first.
Humor him, then.
There's bound to be something we can give Laing in exchange.
I'd imagine he wants to be left alone.
Nevertheless, you're all forgetting one small point.
This is my party.
You're all my guests.
I shall be the one who decides if someone is lobotomized.
You should thank us!
You're the one he really wants!
What?
After all, you stole his wife.
I what?
Certainly looks like that on paper.
Where is Wilder's wife now?
Broom cupboard.
Oh, perfect.
We've got a vacancy for a cleaner, haven't we?
Yeah, right, anyone going to work?
Cosgrove.
Most have taken leave.
Well, quite right.
The real work is here.
Once we've dispensed with the likes of Wilder,
we play the lower people off against each other.
In short, Balkanize the central section.
Then begin colonization of the entire building.
Then I propose that Royal, here, draw up plans
to remodel the lower floors.
Oh.
Yes, a driving range.
Cricket nets.
Clubhouse.
Ah!
What about the horse?
What about the horse?
We're gonna eat it.
Dinner parties don't grow on trees, darling.
French do it all the time.
Motion's carried.
Meeting adjourned.
Wouldn't say no to a Bloody Mary.
I'll have the kitchen look into it.
Who is the kitchen?
The wives are rotating.
Ah!
Still enjoying the party, darling?
Fucking Christ.
Cosgrove really is quite convincing.
What are you doing? I... how fucking dare you!
Laing!
Funny, I was just thinking about you.
I was just about to leave. Come in.
How are things?
<i>Comme ci comme ça.</i>
Have you seen Helen?
No.
I'm no good without her.
She shouldn't leave me alone. It's this place.
Won't let me find my equilibrium.
I thought I was cut out for it, but...
I'm not.
Living in a high-rise requires a special type of behavior.
Acquiescent.
Restrained.
Perhaps even slightly mad.
The ones who are the real danger
are the self-contained types like you.
Impervious to the psychological pressures of high-rise life.
Professionally detached.
Thriving.
Like an advanced species in the neutral atmosphere.
I'm sorry you think that.
No, you're not.
Perhaps you're right.
This might help.
You won't be needing that.
Come on, chop-chop!
Ah, Laing.
Good of you to join us.
He won't do it.
Oh.
You should probably reconsider that.
It's not possible, I'm afraid.
I will not lobotomize Richard Wilder.
He's possibly the sanest man in the building.
Oh.
Well, it's flying school for you, I'm afraid, chum.
- Can I have his tie? - If you must.
- That's Savile Row, innit? - Yes.
Pangbourne!
What, Royal? I'm in the middle of something.
You can't put him over the edge. He owes me a game of squash.
Look, I insist you stop this at once.
All right then, let him go.
I'm having that tie one way or another.
<i>Ever thought of leaving the nest yourself?</i>
I was the first to arrive, I shall be the last to leave.
You recall us speaking about my hopes for the building
to be a crucible for change?
Of course.
Well, all this has made me realize something
quite fundamental.
It wasn't that I left an element out,
it was that I put too many in.
And now the building's failure has offered those people
the beginnings of a means of escape to a new life.
Mm.
Who knows...
Perhaps it will become a paradigm
for future developments.
And you, have you settled?
I believe so.
Impressions?
Well, the lights, fire, like neurons in a great brain.
<i>The lifts seem like the chambers of a heart.</i>
And when I move...
That's it!
<i>I move along its corridors like a cell...</i>
<i>...in a network of arteries.</i>
There we are.
There. That wasn't so bad, now was it?
Huh?
Bravo.
What... What is this?
What do you think?
Pudding?
Right, while I've got your ear...
about Richard Wilder.
You don't need to worry about Richard.
Or the others.
Bloody Mary, John?
- Wet the baby's head. - Where are all the menfolk?
Cosgrove was taken, I'm afraid.
On his way back from work.
Christ.
Really?
Simmons has gone to get him back.
Oh.
They may be some time.
Now tell me.
I can't remember.
Have I ever given you my autograph?
Whose area?
There's another.
Helen!
<i>Helen!</i>
<i>Helen!</i>
It's you.
- The architect. - Yes.
You see you've made a mistake there.
If you'd have confessed to your sins on camera when our paths
crossed in the foyer, I'd have probably edited this bit out.
I'm not accountable to you, Mr. Wilder.
Too late now, anyway.
Camera broke.
Oh, just one thing before you go.
Why exactly did you take my wife?
I can assure you,
I have no interest in your personal property.
Because I ask myself why would a great man like you
feel the need to hide behind women's skirts?
Behind children, even. Your own, as well as others'.
How dare you judge me! How dare...
Helen!
That's right.
You sit there and think about what you've done.
<i>On the whole, life in the high-rise was good.</i>
<i>There had been no obvious point at which it had moved</i>
<i>into a clearly more sinister dimension.</i>
<i>Helen was right.</i>
<i>It was a huge children's party which had got out of hand.</i>
<i>Of course, Laing was sorry the architect had died.</i>
<i>He felt he owed the man a debt of gratitude</i>
<i>for his new family.</i>
<i>The first Laing had ever really felt part of.</i>
<i>Now that several potential patients had emerged</i>
<i>here in the building,</i>
<i>Laing might start a private medical practice.</i>
<i>Do you fancy a drink? Cosgrove's here.</i>
<i>And help others surrender to a logic</i>
<i>more powerful than reason.</i>
All boys together.
Laing's got someone waiting.
You know how it is.
Say no more.
<i>One thing was certain,</i>
<i>now that everything was getting back to normal,</i>
<i>Laing would throw his own party.</i>
<i>A modest project which, nevertheless,</i>
<i>required careful and cautious planning.</i>
<i>For now, he would sit back,</i>
<i>eat the rest of the dog and wait for failure</i>
<i>to reach the second tower of the high-rise development.</i>
<i>Ready to welcome its residents into this new world...</i>
<i>with open arms.</i>
I heard you out there.
Who were you talking to?
No-one.
Just the building.
<i>The free enterprise system</i>
<i>is a necessary but not a sufficient condition.</i>
<i>There is only one economic system in the world</i>
<i>and that is capitalism.</i>
<i>The difference lies in whether the capital is in the hands of</i>
<i>the state or whether the greater part of it</i>
<i>is in the hands of people outside of state control.</i>
<i>Where there is state capitalism,</i>
<i>there will never be political freedom.</i>

Flow Drill #11: Modern Arnis Cross Body Pose - Duration: 9:30.
Hey there, tonight we're going to go over Flow Drill #11
which involves the cross body pose.
And there's two different versions of this in this video.
And I'll show you, first, the two different versions of it.
So the first version is this way where you have the stick on your left shoulder
And this stick across this way, okay?
Now the second version of this you're going to see in this video
is you have this stick going to the other side like the first one.
Except it's resting on the forearm
Like this here.
Okay?
The first one is this.
The right hand stick above the left shoulder.
The second one is both sticks on the same side.
The right side, okay?
But regardless of which one, this stick is traveling to the other side,
Hence the name "cross body pose."
Okay so, let's take it from the beginning.
So, start off with this.
Let's do this again.
You've got this here.
And again.
Okay, practice that.
We'll cover the next few moves in the next section.
Okay, this section is we're going to start with the first section
And I'm going to transition into this version of the pose first.
And we'll just stop right there.
Okay, we have this here.
Clear.
You've practiced this a few times.
Here.
Poke.
Now, as soon as my stick touches his,
I'm grabbing his stick with my palm up.
Shoot this stick back to here, okay?
I'm in position to shoot the punyo at him
With my right foot forward.
So let's do this again.
Here.
Clear.
Poke.
Right foot forward.
Palm up.
To here.
One more time.
Here.
Clear.
Here. Palm up.
And you're here.
Let's practice that okay?
All right. So, now we're in this position here.
This is where we left off in the last section.
This is where I'm going to shoot the punyo at Alex's face.
And the purpose of this is that he's going to touch.
So I'm going to take advantage of that because his hand is reaching out.
So, we're going to do this at the same time.
Hit.
Okay, let's do this again.
Boom.
Okay.
Bait. Hit.
Bait. Hit.
That's it.
Try that.
We'll cover the next section.
Okay, let's cover the next couple of moves here.
This is what we're going to do.
So the last time we were here.
And we addressed this.
As soon as this happens and for the purpose of this drill,
I'm going to step back with my right leg.
And go back into the other pose.
This stick is resting on my arm.
This is above the shoulder.
Let's do this again.
One.
Step back. Here.
Let's do this again.
Here.
Shift.
Now you have the right foot forward, left foot back.
One more time.
Here. Boom.
Step back here.
Okay?
So let's take this from the beginning.
Here.
Here.
Bam.
To here.
Let's do it again.
Bam.
Here.
Practice that.
And we're going to pick it up for the rest of the way.
All right. So, we left off at this section here.
What we're going to do now is I'm going to punch with this.
As soon as Alex touches my hand,
This stick…..for the purposes of this flow drill,
I'm going through through the arm and shift back
to the other side.
Like this here, okay?
Let's do this again. From here.
I punch.
This stick right here.
As soon as he touches me, I'm hitting him.
Bam.
Shift through.
My right foot forward.
Okay?
One more time.
You've got this here.
Here.
Boom.
Here.
Let's take this from the beginning.
Here.
Clear.
Here.
Bam.
Step back.
Boom.
Shift back to this side.
So let's do this slow so that you can see this here.
One
Step back.
Go through to here.
Okay?
Practice that.
Okay, so we left off in this section here.
Punyo.
Slap off.
He's going to do tapi tapi block.
Sweep stroke into the pull off.
We'll stop right here.
And you know what I'm going to do next. I'll give him a #1.
Okay, so let's do this.
We were here.
Slap off.
Sweep stroke.
To here.
And #1.
Step back. Sweep stroke.
To here.
Pull off. #1.
Let's do this from the beginning.
So.
Here.
We've got the first one here.
Hit.
Step back to here.
Punch.
Hit and go through.
Shift back with your right foot forward.
Sweep stroke.
Now it's Alex's turn.
We'll do Alex's turn in the next section.
This is Flow Drill #11.
Cross body posing.
We're going to put it all together.
By the way for those of you who have trained with me
on this drill, you may notice something different about this drill.
It is different because I've simplified it.
I took out one hit and kept it to two.
So, go with this version, all right?
So, let's take it from the top.
From here.
Here.
Clear.
First pose.
First hit.
Step back.
Punch.
Go through and shift back with your right foot forward.
Sweep stroke.
Now it's Alex's turn.
That's it.
So now Alex is going to lift up his stick here.
Hit.
That's it.
Now he's going to shift back.
Punch.
Go through.
Yeah!
And then sweep stroke.
We're going to do this one more time.
Here.
A little trick.
Most of the time when I clear and poke a #7, I do it with the left foot forward.
But for this drill, keep your right foot forward.
Watch.
Here.
Now you're in position.
Hit. Step back.
Right foot forward.
Hit.
Go through.
Slap off.
Sweep stroke.
Now it's Alex's turn.
That's it.
We'll stop right there.
That's Flow Drill #11.
Cross Body pose, okay?
Pay attention to your footwork.
If you're confused about this,
go back and rewatch the previous sections.
If you have any questions about any aspect of this drill,
email me at bamboospiritmartialarts@gmail.com
or contact me through the Bamboo Spirit business page on Google+
And I would appreciate any feedback you have about this video.
Thank you.
Good night.
See you next time.

THE 70 INGREDIENT CANCER PROMOTING MCRIB SANDWICH IT'S NOT REAL FOOD - Duration: 6:56.
THE 70 INGREDIENT CANCER-PROMOTING MCRIB SANDWICH IT�S NOT REAL FOOD
McDonald�s is the king of marketing, having created a cult-like following surrounding
their �McRib� sandwich.
Originally introduced in 1981, McDonald�s made the sandwich a �special� selection
menu item available in certain regions at different times.
It has come and gone throughout the years, now making a triumphant return at the end
of 2013.
Disturbing is the only word to use to describe such a monstrosity, as the �McRib� contains
over 70 ingredients for an item that is supposedly compiled from a bun, a barbecue patty, pickles,
and onions.
In fact the McDonald�s official website is daring enough to list all of the ingredients
contained within the franken-creation.
The �Meat�.
*Taken from the McDonald�s website
MCRIB PORK PATTYIngredients: Pork, Water, Salt, Dextrose, Preservatives (BHA, Propyl
Gallate, Citric Acid).
The �pork� is restructured meat, meaning that there is no real quality meat involved.
Instead they use the disposable innards of the pig such as tripe, heart, and scalded
stomach, which are then turned over to a process that cooks all of the pig scraps in water
and salt.
This process extracts all of the salt-soluble proteins and congeals everything together
into a rubbery concoction respectfully titled as a �pork patty.�
Notice the ingredients propyl gallate and BHA.
This preservative is one to look out for, as it can cause promoted urinary bladder and
thyroid carcinogenesis.
Studies have noted that BHA and propyl gallate showed additional effects in inducing stomach
hyperplasia and cytotoxicity.
But we already knew McDonald�s meat was sub-par.
Let�s move on to the bun.
The McRib Bun
MCRIB BUN
Allergens: WHEAT AND SOY
Ingredients: Enriched Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced
Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Yeast, High Fructose Corn Syrup,
Contains 2% Or Less: Salt, Corn Meal, Wheat Gluten, Soybean Oil, Partially Hydrogenated
Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oils, Dextrose, Sugar, Malted Barley Flour, Cultured Wheat
Flour, Calcium Sulfate, Ammonium Sulfate, Soy Flour, Dough Conditioners (Sodium Stearoyl
Lactylate, DATEM, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide, Mono- and Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Mono-
and Diglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Enzymes, Guar Gum, Calcium Peroxide), Calcium Propionate
(Preservative), Soy Lecithin.
CONTAINS: WHEAT AND SOY
That�s almost 40 ingredients for the bun alone.
Interesting that high-fructose corn syrup is the fourth ingredient considering it is
known to cause pancreatic cancer.
If the hydrogenated oils alone don�t ring your alarm, then perhaps the ammonium and
calcium sulfate will, seeing how their common usage is as a soil fertilizer.
That�s nothing to worry about, however, considering the FDA approved it as a safe
food additive.
Azodicarbonamide takes the cake for unnecessary ingredients, acting as a �dough conditioner�.
Azodicarbonamide is used in the manufacture of foamed-plastics in the U.S. and is banned
in Europe and Australia.
The use of this chemical in Singapore actually results in jail time.
The McRib Sauce
MCRIB SAUCE
Ingredients: Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Tomato Paste, Distilled Vinegar, Molasses,
Natural Smoke Flavor (Plant Source), Modified Food Starch, Salt, Sugar, Spices, Soybean
Oil, Xanthan Gum, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Chili Pepper, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative),
Caramel Color, Beet Powder.
Here we see high fructose corn syrup again as a main ingredient.
PICKLE SLICES
Ingredients: Cucumbers, Water, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Alum, Potassium Sorbate
(Preservative), Natural Flavors (Plant Source), Polysorbate 80, Extractives of Turmeric.
Even the pickles are carcinogenic.
Potassium sorbate is a genotoxic and mutagenic compound.
Surely a �ribless� rib patty would raise questions for anyone as to how such a thing
could even exist.
Marta Fearon, Marketing Director for McDonald�s, says the lack of actual �ribs� is what
gives the item its �quirky sense of humour� � an interesting spin from a marketing director.
If this information were common knowledge, would people still be eating these things?
The good news is that fast food nutrition awareness is spreading like wildfire.
McDonald�s was shut down and banned in Bolivia, Bermuda, and Iceland in the past decade.
Stories such as the �Strange Fibers Found in Chicken McNuggets� and the �McRib Breakdown�
are making headlines as people are beginning to make more conscious decisions about the
food they are choosing to put in their bodies.
Perhaps the day of worldwide McDonald�s prohibition is just around the corner.
Let us at least hope.

🇬🇧 **New** Bonsai Mame Cotoneaster - Duration: 6:50.
71 this little count including am
working on a small cotton astre
volleyballs I've it was definitely
cutting from one of my Raja trees and
grow a training pot and it has since
been reported in a small bonsai pot I
need to keep it mommy sighs now for
those of you who are new and visited and
are interested in learning on my then
hit that subscribe button and hit the
down and kick the box and you will
receive notifications of all my uploads
magni you not miss anything
looking at a little cotoneaster I've
grown this to be cutting eating this box
without couple of years now and I'm just
tidy up the pot and others lot of weeds
and revel in here so we'll take that out
and then top it up with fresh soil to
create the top layer of the soil is
easier and quicker and to mess around
let us drop it up at fresh soil
amelie damn right just a few more bits
from this side and walk it over and you
get some berries in stock photo came to
I side it really is tiny and I really
like it it does need a little bit of a
groom so you'll quickly turn it before I
top it up with soil I'm going to cut
this branch here leaving this Lee these
duties and the next bit of drawers will
come from the node between these leaves
and ranch you could be energy goes to
the end and when the branch is proved
the energy caught when he further so it
has to go into the node which is inert
at the moment time it'll wake up and a
new branch was coming same thing will do
witness here and cut that back to here
and I'll and also at the back
the top is then that point to that cool
at load there I don't last done it's
turning is one there are quite a small
tree so w/e take very long I'm going to
just top it up with this soil or cat
litter with a low dust it works and I've
used it before and I'm using it more and
more lately just started off as an
experiment all that heard some very
well-known people here in England
advocated but I wanted to see for myself
and yes it does work so there's more and
more off the swings by me now so this is
a very easy of page look after the
leaves are naturally very small and it
has smaller switch then turn into
berries in the autumn and from green
they go through yellowy and then orangi
and then great and it's very very pretty
and also very easy to look after and for
anyone starting out in ones I i would
suggest that you have at least relative
of peace and as they are very late you
should look after I've just noticed
another little pouch which is trying to
fight with the this upper branch this
torch here and we'll remove that
I call that as I was turning the three
area does it look better looked a bit
congested and no this can be true in a
bit not much just a tad to start taking
move out in a different direction so as
I'm saying anyone starting out should
have one or two or even more and they're
quite easy to get hold of you can buy
these as plants of your local garden
center and then make them into vampires
I've got two large ones but this is the
one that came from a cutting from one of
them when I cleaned it and not bad I
quite like it and also think is a pretty
tree this time of year when we bury when
the very start to change color and not
to go from green to orange to wait well
this is one of my smaller trees and
thats all for now thanks for watching
and watch more we subscribe this little
con for becomes I in disguise
and now for the afterthought what do you
call a line of bunnies hopping backwards
in receding hairline to dig

Best Replays of the Week International #59 - Duration: 13:04.
Hello, I'm Luke Kneller
and welcome to Best Replays of the Week.
In this episode we have: Brothers in Spähpanzers,
some problems with MMO tactics,
and several incidents with Sunday drivers.
Let the battles commence!
Let's kick things off with our Wall of Steel,
Guardian_angel70
who plays in the North American region.
The angel's chariot is a non-patriotic
version of the T26E5,
and the tier 9 battle is fought on Tundra.
Our Steel Wall heads for the Western pass,
with plenty of heavy armour in tow.
Contact.
"Alright, people, you know the drill.
Standard tank and spank."
The Löwe tries a Leroy and heads out in front,
"well, that worked as well as expected…"
Guardian_angel70 stays on the front,
holding the line, and dishing out punishment.
The damage dealers seem to be struggling,
as another one blows up.
Maybe Angel
thinks this is the wrong sort of MMO?
One crew member was a radio operator,
until he took a shell to the knee…
"Really, guys?"
Maybe Angel has realised the Tank
and Spank isn't working here,
as they need to do most of the spanking as well.
It's fine. Who needs support, anyway.
The base is getting capped,
and there's a Type 59 threatening the rear.
The Type is pretty easy to deal with,
especially when a teammate actually shows up
to stab it in the back.
That's more like it.
Angel's tank is pretty nippy for a heavy,
but the capture is getting awfully close.
Come on WZ, you can do it.
Nice, now watch this.
An S-Tank can be a tough nut to crack,
but only from the front.
Its side is pretty squishy.
A loud fart could blow this one up,
but Guardian Angel is classy,
and uses a shell instead.
The last opponent is a T29, in fairly good repair.
It puts up a fight, but we know how this will end.
How could it beat an indestructible
Steel Wall, after all?
That was quite the Steel Wall
carry from Guardian_angel70.
5.5k blocked, 7k dished out,
and with a nice, six kill Top Gun
as the cherry on top.
Well played.
Onwards and upwards,
we're in the Asian region,
where MatchyHK goes scouting on Redshire.
The WZ-131 is more of a fast
medium tank than a, hey!
Watch it.
Anyway, it's got a lot of firepower,
making it well suited
for the role of combat scout.
Matchy starts well,
spotting a handful of Reds,
and scoring a nice bit of Assist.
Nothing to see here, just a harmless tree.
Despite what I said earlier,
the first attempts at damage dealing don't go so well.
The repair kit is gone,
but otherwise the tank is still pretty much intact.
And the spotting damage is nice.
These guys do need to be stopped, though.
A couple of HEAT rounds should
soften them up a bit.
The team needs help.
It's time to go knock some heads.
Taking out this SPG is a good start.
The second arty has an E 75 for a bodyguard.
Not that it matters.
It just means there's a heavy tank to kill as well.
The T29 is going down already,
but Matchy's kill streak will not be denied.
Boom!
"Caernarvon at 400 meters.
What do you think, gunner?"
"Not a problem, boss."
The team is well in the lead now,
but there are still two machines to destroy.
A tier 9 VK is a tough nut to crack,
but artillery is on the case.
The behemoth gets in a hit of its own,
and it really stings.
Luckily, a gunner isn't really needed at this range.
The M12 has a go, but it's much too late.
Your doom approaches, arty.
Can you feel it?
Ending the game takes a couple of shots,
securing the kill just ahead of the SPGs attempt.
Great spotting-work early on,
with a switch into rampage mode
when the enemy team was gaining the upper hand.
It's nice to see the firepower of a scout
being put to good use.
Now let's move back to the American servers
for a dose of mayhem.
FullsunTOP takes a Škoda T 25 to Overlord,
cries havoc, and let's slip the dogs of war.
Almost immediately,
a Sunday driver rear ends the Škoda.
Fullsun stays on the move,
looking for an opening.
That SU down at the beach will do nicely.
Charge!
Ok, I'm not gonna lie.
The attack is a bit of a mess.
The hit on a Crusader is more promising,
but Fullsun doesn't stay to finish it off.
The team is five points behind.
Show us what you've got, Top Gun.
Yes, that's the spirit.
The Škoda pounces on a Cromwell, bursting it down.
The Crusader gets finished off with a shot,
leaving the rest of the clip for an Ikv.
This place is getting crowded,
so Fullsun leaves the area, and goes on an arty hunt.
There's one of them, and another.
Apparently, all three SPGs are here.
A three shot autoloader isn't
optimal for this kind of work,
but it does get the job done…
eventually.
The last teammate is down,
and there are still four opponents to go through.
The first one attempts a frontal assault,
which fails as it gets clipped down in seconds.
The bottom tier heavy is made of thicker steel,
but its aim isn't any better.
One of the foes is capping,
which means they just
volunteered to be kill number ten.
It's the IS, showing its side profile.
The first attempt barely
puts a dent into the heavy.
Fullsun looks for another angle,
but ends up coming back
to the previous position.
The second volley takes the big guy
down to one-shot territory.
Shaving off those last few hit points
could be a bit of a challenge, however.
The long range attempt fails,
so it's time to get up-close and personal.
Ammo is also running out,
so Fullsun is going in with just two AP rounds in the drum.
Here goes!
Nope… and nope.
Oh dear.
The opponent seems a little confused.
Fullsun reloads with the last APCR shell,
and punches it straight through the glacis plate.
That leaves three HE rounds to finish
the game with.
According to teammates, the Hellcat
has gotten itself wedged in a tricky spot.
Time is also starting to run out.
Let's see how bad it is.
Ok, this should be doable.
There would be an easy Fadin's Medal to be had here,
but Fullsun doesn't want to risk it. GG.
That started slow,
and the first attack was something of a comedy of errors.
FullsunTOP rallied magnificently though,
playing better and better.
In the end, it was a true Top Gun.
Now it's time for a spot of tag-team action,
with kiilleerr and mcubic fighting
back to back on Murovanka.
The match is a tier 9 Encounter,
with our dynamic duo in command of a pair
of Spähpanzer Ru 251 light tanks.
Hostile contact happens almost immediately,
and kiilleerr lets a rival 251 know
it's not welcome in these woods.
The platoon mate pulls back,
giving fire support to the battle raging in the forest.
Another Red force 251
has penetrated deep into friendly territory.
It tries to run, but our heroes take it down without mercy.
The battle in the forest is going
poorly for the team.
This light tank platoon will need to turn the tide.
kiilleerr picks off a badly damaged Tiger,
but the weight of incoming
fire forces the pair into a retreat.
mcubic charges back in,
while kiilleerr focuses fire on an O-Ho.
A KV-3 is attempting to capture,
so the platoon leaves the forest battle,
and head over to give their support.
kiilleerr and mcubic hammer a T29 into submission,
but the reset has already happened.
An Emil I is burned to a crisp by mcubic,
but the chance to win by capture is most likely gone.
kiilleerr engages a Bat Chat at range,
while mcubic hunts down an SPG.
kiilleerr secures the kill,
because that's what friends do, right?
The KV stays in the cap,
serving to at least draw the opposition out of the forest.
kiilleerr completes Top Gun
by finishing off a Liberté,
while mcubic ventilates a Löwe.
kiilleerr keeps up the pressure,
as mcubic goes looking for another line of fire.
Another one falls, evening out the score.
The Jagdtiger has had enough of these capture attempts.
It's in fine repair, so knocking it out
could prove tricky.
kiilleerr shaves off some hit points,
but a Batmobile makes it impossible
to charge in and finish it off.
mcubic gives up on the lion hunt,
re-joining kiilleerr on the hill.
Between the two of them, the Bat is easy prey.
Now, how to deal with the Jagdtiger?
There's no point in attacking it head on,
so I guess that the Löwe is back on the menu.
The big cat proves to be a cunning foe,
having sneaked much closer than expected.
It smashes its way through the flimsy house,
while mcubic is busy finishing off an M4A1.
This could be the end, but mcubic
comes to the rescue with a well-aimed shot.
"Thanks, buddy".
That just leaves the Jagdtiger,
but kiilleerr is now down to a single HE shell.
Not to worry though, as mcubic has plenty of ammo.
The key will be not getting hit in return.
The Jagdtiger's capture is pretty far,
but it can only defend in one direction.
mcubic pounces on its fat backside,
while kiilleerr waits for an opportunity
to take that last shot.
That should do it. Fire at will.
It's pretty flash when you have
the luxury of manufacturing a Fadin's finish.
kiilleerr and mcubic carried this one hard,
and with impeccable style.
We'll wrap up the episode
with a Crucial Contribution from the EU region,
where ubighost works hard to carry the game.
The tier six assault on Karelia starts,
with ubighost's Chaffee leading
the charge up the Eastern flank.
An ELC dashes out on a daring scouting run.
A little too daring, as it turns out.
A German mini-tiger attacks,
but the Chaffee is just too fast.
The heavy goes down without too much trouble.
The Lago doesn't do any better,
but its' supporters make the fight more dangerous.
Bad news, the push has pretty much stalled.
ubighost fights on for a while,
before heading out to assault
the defenders near the capture zone.
Catching the Alecto by surprise,
our hero is able to destroy it without it fighting back.
The quick snapshot lands,
but the artillery's aim is off.
This Hetzer probably thinks it's in cover. Nope.
ubighost goes for the Ikv,
finishing it off with a flurry of steady shots.
Three vs. four, keep up the pressure.
The SPG goes down easily,
but where did that Matilda fire from?
While ubighost looks for another victim,
the last friendlies are blown up.
The endgame is one against three.
Attempting to take out the Matilda at range fails,
so the Chaffee heads closer.
A Swedish medium tank volunteers
to be the next victim.
It would be rude to turn it down.
The Matilda is here as well,
wading closer with grim determination.
But this is just writing cheques
its firepower can't cash.
However, it does make for an easy kill.
That just leaves the VK, and it's already here.
Our champion has a serious problem.
With four shells, the average
damage is only 440,
assuming they all penetrate.
Shells fly, leaving
both combatants in a bad way.
The last shell won't be enough,
and an ammo rack explosion is highly unlikely.
Alas, this is where the story ends.
ubighost put up a great fight,
falling short by a single shell.
A carry against the odds turned into
a Heartbreak of the Week.
You just can't win them all.
And that's it for this season.
A heartbreak end for a heartbreak season.
Maybe I'll go visit the Luchs at home
during our Easter Break.
Don't forget to keep sending those replays!
I'm Luke Kneller.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.

Introduction to Moonshots | Pwaacademy Science #1 - Duration: 6:14.
Hi, I'm Alexa and this is Pwaacademy, a project of the Philippine Independent Club
of Alpacas AKA PICA.
Today, we'll be tackling the Science and Technology section of the World Scholar's
Cup curriculum.
Let's get started.
First, what is a moonshot?
No, it's not some fancy drink that you can order at a bar. :D
Though I wouldn't know :P
And no, it no longer simply refers to the very first shot to the moon.
But from this example, we can then relate this term to what it means in the arena of
technology today.
Google defines a moonshot as a project that addresses a huge problem, proposes a radical
solution, and uses breakthrough technology.
We'll get into how this definition relates to the original moonshot in a succeeding video,
but for now, let's explore a few historical efforts that may fit into these criteria.
Number one: Polynesian Exploration.
If you've ever watched the Disney film Moana, then you'd have a pretty good idea of how
crucial exploration was to the Polynesian people.
So Polynesia is a region composed of a few tiny islands in the Pacific.
When European explorers first stumbled upon these people like 500 years ago, they couldn't
possibly imagine how they had gotten there.
Later on, they came to accept the "impossible" answer.
The Polynesian settlers came all the way from Southeast Asia, and then set out eastwards
on their canoes, bringing their plants and animals with them, and using natural way finding
techniques to, well, find their way.
Next up: Global Circumnavigation.
Oooh, big word—but let's break it down.
Circum, latin for around, plus navigate.
Basically, just going around the world—but if say, I visited Santa and walked around
the North Pole, would that count?
That's why some people like to add another criterion, that is, that the halves of the Earth that
you travelled between have to be of comparable size.
The first voyage that circumnavigated the globe was headed by Ferdinand Magellan of
Spain.
They headed west towards Asia, and then ended up in the Philippines.
There, he aggravated some guy, and got killed.
Not just him—a lot of them got killed.
So, his second in command, Juan Sebastian Elcano, headed eastward back to Spain with
a meagre crew of 18 men, completing the circumnavigation.
Third: First Manned Flight.
You guessed it—our favourite brothers who are never wrong.
Or left.
The Wright brothers! :D
Al(w)right, so, Wilbur and Orville flew their airplane for 12 grand seconds in 1903, revolutionising
fixed-wing powered flight in the first manned, powered, heavier-than-air, and controlled
flight.
They started out working with bicycles, and ended up inventing an airplane!!!
But before them came several other aviation pioneers, like these guys who flew a hot air
balloon, and this guy who invented a steam-powered airship, and this guy who went all Batman!
Cool (w)right?
But the Wright brothers were the first ones who could, to some extent, control their flying
machine, which is pretty important, don't you think?
Fourth: Supersonic Travel That is, traveling faster than the speed of
sound, which is Mach 1.
Like that dude from the Parent Trap who wanted to surprise his wife so he took the Concorde.
Which is actually one of only two SSTs (or supersonic transports) to have ever seen regular
service, the other being the Tupolev Tu-144.
But traveling faster than sound creates that really annoying sonic boom, which is like really,
really loud.
Also, building really fast airplanes means really expensive technology, so eventually,
both of the SSTs were discontinued.
Next, mind control!
We've all seen it in movies when the bad guys use different drugs to try and control the good
guys and make them do EVIL.
Well, the theory of mind control basically started in the same way.
During the Korean War, some American soldiers got captured and became prisoners of war.
And when these captured people started defending their captors or siding with the enemy, the
US government said that it was just because they had been brainwashed.
And they even started their own project to try and learn how to brainwash people.
So sketchy.
Finally, the creation of the internet.
So if you watch this video by Kurzgesagt, then it explains it very very well already.
But here's my own little summary.
First, of course, computers had to be developed sometime in the 1950s.
Then, packet switching networks, which break data into packets before sending them
off, were invented.
They had to set protocol, the TCP/IP on how to send data around.
Finally, Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web, so that people could access this data
through websites and hyperlinks the way that we do today.
So all those were a bunch of moonshots from the past, right?
So who is working on moonshots now?
That would be none other than Google's semi-secret lab called X. Basically, they're the guys
who work on some really cool projects where they try and try and try and fail and fail and fail—but
sometimes, they succeed.
Like Waymo, a self-driving car.
And Google Watch.
They've had moonshots for communications, photography, AI, buildings, healthcare, and more, which
you can find if you just Google them :D
Currently, they're working on Makani, an energy kite that's basically a more efficient
wind turbine; Project Wing, automated delivery bots; and my personal favorite, Project Loon.
Balloons.
That bring internet to people.
So those are the bare bones of what we'll be exploring in terms of moonshots this season.
They are awesome projects, by awesome people, who are trying to do awesome things.
In this unlikely world, anything is possible—and moonshot science is the great belief in that
"anything".
If you liked this video, let me know so that I can make more of them.
Share it with your friends, and brainwash them with some moonshot science :D

How to Get Fluent in English with 3 (not so) Simple Tricks - Duration: 6:22.
Hi there, Vladimir here, with another video on how to learn English
How to become fluent in a foreign language, in English in our case
How to become a fluent speaker of English?
Fluent is such a hot word nowadays, everybody on the Internet is promising to make you fluent
here is my 2 cents/opinion
First we need to define the word fluent.
I use the definition given by Cambridge Dictionary
when a person is fluent, they can speak a language easily, well, quickly and without many pauses
The first thing you need to do is ask yourself Are you a fluent speaker of your native language?
do you speak your mother tongue easily, well, quickly and without many pauses?
it is not possible to be fluent in a foreign language/English, and not be fluent in
your native language first.
Don't blame the foreign language alone for your lack of fluency
your second language fluency is likely to mirror your first language fluency
this was the first condition for fluency
to be fluent in English you have to be fluent in your native language first
Second condition for fluency is to read a lot, yes you heard me right, read a lot
lots of reading and listening practice, it's what we call input, but mainly reading.
Many people blame their poor language fluency on their lack of speaking practice.
let me let you in on a secret: speaking is overrated
the reason why you don't speak English fluently is because you don't read enough
read and listen
Just consider how long it takes a child to start speaking somewhat fluently
at least 6-7 years of intensive listening
reading can shorten that time, it's the 1 huge advantage adults have over children
we can start reading English texts from day 1
The third condition for speaking fluency is to use Monolingual Learner's Dictionaries,
read a lot and use Monolingual Learner's Dictionaries every time you come across a new word
As I said, everybody is making videos about how to become fluent
the most popular fluency video by far is titled Get fluent with 1 trick - become a confident
English speaker with this simple trick by one Drew Badger and the simple trick is
to learn English like native speakers
learn English like a native speaker, what the hell does this mean?
how can a 30-year old learn English like a native speaker, wait to be reborn in an
English speaking country with English speaking parents, go to English only school
the most popular English learning video on YouTube
help me understand, I am simultaneously discouraged and encouraged by this video
ask yourself this simple question:
what does a native English speaker like Drew know about how to become fluent in English ?
It's like Shaquille O'Neal teaching you how to dunk
I would much rather Allen Iverson taught me how to dunk
Allen:183cm, 75 kg Shaq: 216cm, 155 kg
I bet Drew's Japanese isn't as fluent, he should make a video to demonstrate how his
1 simple trick helped him learn a foreign language Japanese in his case
you won't see that video
learn English like native speakers, native speakers never use Monolingual Learner's Dictionaries
so many fluency videos on the Internet and nobody talks about Monolingual Dictionaries
why? because native speakers don't have to use Monolingual Learner's Dictionaries
the last condition for speaking fluency is of course speaking
but make no mistake
in order to make a single sentence in English you have to have read at least 10 pages in English
That's my 2 cents/opinion, for what is worth, after all all I've done is become fluent in English,
here I am speaking English fluently and confidently
as I said, I am both discouraged and encouraged by videos like the 1 simple trick video
discouraged because I truly, honestly don't understand why the 11 million views
and encouraged because there is room for some real, helpful stuff on the internet
like my book Virtually Native
Everything you need to know about how to become a fluent speaker of English is in that book
Virtually Native is available at Amazon and virtuallynative.com

A Brief History of April Fools Events | War Thunder - Duration: 3:52.
War Thunder has built up quite the reputation over the years of making pretty awesome April
Fool's events.
With the next one just around the corner, let's take a step back and remember what
we had so far.
Since I do not have my own footage for the first two, I'll leave links down in the
description to videos where they are shown.
2013.
Back when the game was new, only had aircraft and was relatively unknown, Gaijin introduced
an additional nation in the form of Ponyland.
This nation had 6 differently coloured reserve rank Ponies armed with cannons, rockets, bombs
and what was essentially a jet flightmodel at tier 1.
For an entire day, the hilarious ponies which even had animated wings and shot rainbow tracers
trashed every battle with their unrivalled performance.
But everybody had fun, many even begging for the return of these cute little critters.
Mainly bronies, let's be real.
2014.
Stepping up the game from last year's event, in 2014 Gaijin turned their company logo into
a giant Godzilla-esque snail that would crawl across a city, destroying everything in its
path.
The player's objective was to destroy it with bombs and rockets, and if enough damage
was done before the end of its journey, the beast would explode into a nasty cloud of
green slime.
Deserving its own trailer and everything, this was the first event that I personally
attended, and was only available on the dev server.
2015.
With the release of ground forces, Gaijin doubled down on their creativity and made
not one, but two different events.
In an obvious jab at their main competitor, World of Tanks, "unrealistic battles"
as it was called featured mock up M4 Sherman tanks which in reality were just sheets covering
some guys on Bicycles.
These tanks had Hitpoints and shot potatos and carrots at each other.
The second one, and by far one of the most memorable so far was the Walker tank.
Similar to the AT-STs of the Star Wars franchise, these machines would walk on legs and cross
everything from houses to rivers.
Armed with what was essentially a KV-2 turret and gun with a T-26 and T-60 turret with a
45mm and a 20mm gun respectively glued onto each side, these tall beasts would stampede
across the battlefield, scaring the crap out of new players who had no idea what they were
facing.
This event was so well received that the Walker Tanks even made a comeback in another event,
and their assets are still in the game code and can be seen in the tank test map I've
featured in a separate video.
Maybe some day we'll be able to play these machines once more.
2016.
the 2016 event marked another high point of april fools events in war thunder, introducing
playable and impressively detailed pirate and royal navy sailing ships and the first
glimpse at the upcoming naval combat.
This event even featured an easter egg!
If you would sail your ship out of bounds, the tentacles of a Kraken would drag you down
to the bottom of the ocean.
So, what's next?
The 2017 April fools event will go live within less than a day of this video being published.
And the question is, can they top what they've done so far?
This is a question that I'm going to leave open to you, in fact I'd very much like
to hear your guesses in the comments down below.
Be sure to check out the links in the description to full videos of each event.
As always lads, my name has been MikeGoesboom, I'll see you tomorrow with full video coverage
of the april fools event, and thank you for watching!

Affordable $20 RGB LED Strip - Duration: 4:52.
This is what a generic LED strip looks like.
It's got no frills
and I got it off of Amazon.ca for about $20.
So, it's cheap and generic.
Unlike pricier options such as the Philips Hue LED strip
which features an app,
this one doesn't have any fancy features;
but if you take the price into consideration,
you might want to gun for this instead.
You see, the Philips option costs a solid $90.
Now, that is not to say that they don't have a great product,
I find that many of Philips' features are very useful;
but this LED strip is more than 4 times cheaper.
That means, for the price of 1 Philips Hue LED strip,
you can purchase 4 of these.
Honestly, you aren''t even
losing out on too much with one of these.
They're still capable of producing your RGB colours.
Maybe just not as precisely.
Now, when you look for one of these on Amazon,
The pricing does vary, but it does float around $20.
If you purchase the complete package,
on the inside you will find a remote for controlling the strip,
an infrared controller,
a generic power adapter,
and of course, your LED strip.
My strip here is 5 metres long, and that is plenty.
I can actually cut the strip at any of these
brass-looking contact points.
As long as you do it properly, it will still work fine.
Do note that, unlike premium options,
in order to control the lights
you have to point the IR remote at the receiver.
In my opinion, that's a minor inconvenience.
Still acceptable.
The controller obviously controls the colour of the light,
but it is also capable of processing basic effects.
My particular unit here is capable of doing
flash, strobe, fade, and smooth.
The speeds of the effects can always be adjusted
by using the brightness buttons.
My unit also happens to be waterproof;
it's rated IP65
and as long as you don't submerge and of the important components,
you can actually use this under water.
What more can I ask for, really?
Besides an app...
Well actually, there is a little bit I can ask for.
The first thing is a better power supply.
At first, I thought it might've just been my unit here,
but according to Amazon reviews, more people have been having this issue.
When you're using a lot of power, and I mean like
maximum brightness on white lights,
you can actually get a little bit of flickering from time-to-time
It's very occasional, but it's present.
The second thing is,
my package came with a very short cord for the power adapter.
I mean very short; it is under a metre long.
I imagine that's probably unacceptable for a lot of situations.
It certainly was for mine.
It's a good thing it's generic, and you can probably find a longer one.
The third thing I don't like about this product is how it produces colour.
Now, this one can vary between strips,
but there are essentially two types.
For the first type,
every single light on the strip is capable of producing every colour.
This would be ideal, and you'll find out why after you find out about the second type.
The second type has individual LEDs that correspond to one colour;
red, green, and blue.
With the second type, if you press red on the remote,
only the red LEDs will activate.
Only the green LEDs will activate if you press green.
The issue arises when you want something in between.
Say you want something like aqua,
what happens is, it activates the green LED and the blue LED,
and it mixes the two.
The brightness levels of those LEDs
are adjusted according to the shade that you want.
The colours do come out okay,
but if you don't hide the LED strip,
just above the LEDs you will see a rainbow effect.
This is most prominent on white.
This effect is also visible
on the shadows that are casted by the LEDs.
It's not very good looking, and it just screams "cheap".
For my lack nit pick, we're going to go back to the controller and the remote.
It's the fact that you have to point it in the direction of the LED strip.
I know earlier on in this video I said it was acceptable,
but that doesn't mean we can just ignore the issue.
What if we had 2 or 3 of these strips?
They all operate on the same frequency,
so you can just use the same remote for all of them,
but that is a lot of pointing.
It might even get a little confusing
if you're trying to set individual colours.
So clearly this LED strip has its flaws,
but for $20, it's still a pretty good product.
If you have a pretty clean gaming setup
and you just want to add a little more to it,
I would recommend looking into one of these for a budget option.
They are significantly cheaper than their more premium competition.
Yet, they still manage to produce a similar effect.
In my opinion, that's a win!
That's it for this video,
thank-you for watching,
and I'll see you in the next one.
