This is a pretty typical single car flat bed tow truck in America.

Tow trucks in America and in Japan are quite different.

Let's load this Ferrari F430 Scuderia on this truck.

This truck is pretty new and is a lot better than some older models.

What makes it better is the curved end of the bed.

The curved end makes it easier to load low riding "shakotan" cars.

Older truck beds are not bent like this one is at the end.

Without the curved end, the slope of the bed makes it harder to load lowered cars.

Low cars like this Scuderia would definitely scrape on older model tow trucks.

It has definitely gotten easier to load cars like this nowadays.

I always wondered why we don't have tow trucks like this in America.

We're about to unload this drift car and you will see the differences with American tow trucks.

I am with Mr. Hasegawa of Ajito in Saitama.

He will demonstrate how the Japanese tow truck works.

The first big difference is this wireless remote control used to operate everything.

Wow!!

The American truck bed only goes to there.

Wow! You're still going!!

That is so cool!!!!

No way!!! The tailgate is remote controlled too!!??!!

Hasegawa-san, why aren't these types of trucks in America?

I want one of these back at home!!

With a tow truck like this you can load the lowest of Shakotan cars with no problems at all.

I'm gonna bring one of these to the USA one day!!!

See ya!!

Diolinux Interview with Gardiner Bryant - The Linux Gamer - Duration: 10:02.

What's up guys, welcome to one more video. And today, I'm going to give a sequence

to my Jo Soares experience on technology Youtube (or maybe David Letterman that foreign people know)

Today we have a pretty cool interview with Gardiner who's the author of Linux Gamer channel

or The Linux Gamer, which is a very cool channel (in English of course). He is going to talk a little to us

about how is it to have a youtube channel envolving Linux, specialliy the game area

which is something relatively new. And we're alson going to ask him

how Linux is seeing out of Brazil on the game area. We have an idea here in Brazil, some people still criticize it

and the interview was very fun. So, here we go.

Well, the first question I wanted to make actually is to know a little more about you

who are you by the way? What is your channel? And what is it about? Well, introduce your self.

Oi, muito obrigado por me receber. Meu nome é Gardiner Bryant; eu moro em Maine; no Estados Unidos.

Tenho 28 anos de idade e eu administro o canal The Linux Gamer.

No meu canal eu faço reviews de jogos de Linux, bem como comédias, algumas notícias Linux e opiniões.

Sou também ativo no Twitter. Meu user name é @TheLinuxGamer.

Everytime a we have a guest here I make this kind of question specially when I know they use Linux

How long have you used Linux and which distribution do you like most?

Eu sou usuário de Linux há mais de dez anos. Eu tenho sido usuário em tempo integral a maioria desse tempo.

Eu comecei utilizando Fedora (acho que era a versão 7). Eu migrei para o Debian por algum tempo

e ultimamente eu acabei no ubuntu.

Para a maior parte, Ubuntu tem sido a distro da minha escolha, embora eu tenha ficado um pouco longe dela

por um tempo, mas eu utilizo o Ubuntu mais por causa de compatibilidade e grande comunidade.

Se eu estiver tendo algum problema que não puder resolver sozinho, eu simplesmente busco no Google

e tipicamente há uma resposta bem lá para mim. Outra razão é que a maioria das aplicações focam no ubuntu.

Desde que ele possui uma base de instalação ampla. Você quer um aplicativo e não está no repositório?

Eu não preciso compilá-lo de zero. Eu posso encontrar um PPA dos desenvolvedores e utilizá-lo.

Maybe we have a diffrent notion about Linux here in Brazil that you there in the US do

People here believe most of the time that it is a nerd thing, something hard to use

And this channel tries to prove that it is totally the opposite. You can make stuffs seen technically

no doubt about that. But it can also be used by anyone else

So, I would like to know how do people out there, or at least people you know see Linux.

Na minha vida real no dia a dia, Linux é geralmente visto como uma coisa de nerd

e poucas pessoas se importam em tirar tempo e entendê-lo. Eu tenho alguns bons amigos que

Consideram muito Linux, mas não se sentem seguros o suficiente para utilizá-lo em suas rotinas.

Eu venho pensando em criar um Linux user Group por aqui para envolver pessoas na minha comunidade

ajudando-os a solucionar problemas que eles possam estar tendo e construir algumas amizades.

Mas eu sou muito ocupado, então eu não sei quando terei tempo para fazer isso.

One important thing since Valve is apparently a little stuck on Steam Machines 'till they get better developed

honestly, I don't know anymore what the goal of Valve is with the Steam Machines project

but I'd like to know I do see on the future of games for Linux since your channel is specifically focused on it

Eu espero que bastante interatividade inspire um paradoxo continuará sendo os pilares

Eles trarão jogos AAA para a plataforma. Sabe? como eles tem feito.

E nós continuaremos vendo a maioria das inovações dos jogos indie se apresentando e expandindo

a biblioteca de compatibilidade do Linux. Eu ouço as pessoas falando da API Vulkan; eu acho que a Vulkan

vai tornar mais fácil dos desenvolvedores escreverem jogos em plataformas cruzadas

Eu espero que isso na verdade resulte em mais jogos sendo trazidos para o sistema, mas por hora fico cético.

Mas, eu suspeito que temos um futuro brilhante a frente de nós. A base de usuários de Linuix em desktops

está expandindo e provavelmente nos próximos dois anos atingiremos um ponto onde as pessoas

começarão a vir para o Linux em massa. Essa é a minha esperança

Despite we already have half of the games on Steam running on Linux platform, many games are still out.

There are other platforms like uplay, origin which also sell game titles that people like a lot.

I'd like to know from you what game isn't still available for Linux and you'd like to play and can't yet.

Essa é uma ótima pergunta. Eu tenho alguns favoritos que não estão no Linux.

O original Bioshock foi uma obra de arte e eu desejo jogá-lo. Eu gostaria de ver algo como

sonic & all stars racing transformed e o jogo The South Park também serie bem divertido, mas honestamente

Eu estou muito feliz com os jogos que já temos. Dos 380 jogos na biblioteca Steam 317 deles

estão disponíveis no Linux. De verdade, eu gostaria de ver os jogos que tem versões linux vir para a Steam

Jogos como a franquina Unreal Tournament por exemplo, isso faria... isso faria o meu dia!

Eu gostaria de ter alguns dos grandes jogos que seguram as pessoas de migrarem para o Linux.

É surpresa para mim, mas as pessoas ainda jogam Skyrim, e isso é enorme obstáculo para as pessoas

migrarem, porque você não pode realmente fazer isso muito bem por aqui. Eu ouvi que Starcraft II

é outro desses jogos. Sabe? World of Warcraft, League of Legends. Eu não jogo esses jogos

mas um monte de outras pessoas jogam e o fato de que não temos impede que as pessoas venham para o lado do Linux.

Since there are still games that can't be played nativally on the Linux platform

I know there is PlayOnLinux, Wine and everything else that allow us to run this kind of game

What do you think about this practices of running games through PlayOnLinux, Wine and this sort of thing?

Pessoalmente eu não faço isso. Quando eu saltei para Linux, eu queria jogar alguns dos jogos

que eu costumava jogar. Sabe, eu tentei o wine, mas ele era mais para uma dor de cabeça do que solução.

Eu não achei ele útil; digo, parece que você passa horas configurando o Wine só para jogar dez minutos

parecia quebrado e frustrante. Eu sei que o Wine vem de um longo caminho ao longo dos anos

Eu só não dei uma segunda chance a ele. Talvez eu deveria. E sabe? Eu mencionei Vulkan um minuto atrás

e eu acho que aonde o Vulkan vai fazer um enorme impacto no mundo dos jogos Linux vai ser com o Wine

e outras soluções não nativas como programas de virtualização.

Por mim tudo bem se as empresas portarem seus antigos motores de renderização para o Vulkan

e empacotando os binários seus jogos em binários e em empacotamentos pré-configurados.

e enviando isso para o mercado. Sabe? Eu ficarei feliz com isso, levar adiante com novos lançamentos

eu já não fico muito bem isso, mas se significa mais jogos no Linux

através do cliente Steam nativamente, então assim seja.

The next question is a little complicated but I would like to know anyway

What is the best or what are the best linux game titles you have already played and which ones do you recommend?

WOW! isso é realmente dificil. Eu vou dar o meu top 5, tudo bem? Eu amo Rocket League, Civilization VI, Stardew Valley

Undertale e Cities: Skylines. Cada um desses eu amo por razões diferentes

Habilidades, estratégia, exploração, história e simulação respectivamente

Eles vão representar algo que eu gostava na jogabilidade quando criança

Como para recomendação, eu venho jogando Serious Sam's Bogus Detour

Eu vou fazer uma review semana que vem e eu acho que foi bem divertido. Definitivamente, confiram.

Tanto minha review quanto o jogo em si.

I already asked you how people around you and friends see Linux. But I would like to be more specific.

How do people there in the US see Linux like a gaming platform?

Bom, aqui nos EUA... Eu tenho a impressão de que muitas pessoas não levam Linux no desktop a sério.

Os americanos tem esse tipo de atitude descuidadosa esquisita concernente a computadores em geral.

Então; desde que funcione, eles não ligam. Eu tenho visto uma atitude inconstante ultimamente

porque do Windows 10, mas ao mesmo tempo, para maioria das pessoas que eu conheço

PCs são caixas pretas mágicas que de repente decide não funcionar um dia.

E então eu acabo recebendo uma ligação pedindo para eu concertar os seus computadores.

Tenho certeza que você já tenho ouvido algo similar. A maioria dos gamers que eu conheço

nem são PC gamers. Eles são fãs de Xbox ou PlayStation; por que são mais fáceis

e mais convenientes, ou pelo menos eles dizem isso. Então, eu vou dizer que nos EUA, jogabilidade em Linux é um perdedor

com certeza, mas eu tenho fé nisso.

I would like to thank you so much, Gardiner, for participating. It is a little complicated sometimes

to get in touch with people out there, but it is interesting to see how commom interest joins people through the internet around the world

Then, here is my thank you. If you want, you can leave an ending message for our public

Sim. Então, se você pessoal ainda não conferiu, vocês podem conferir o meu canal no Youtube e se inscrever

para reviews de jogos em Linux e videos de opiniões. Eu geralmente faço dois vídeos por semana.

Vocês podem me seguir no Twitter @TheLinuxGamer e você podem também me oferecer suporte

no trabalho que eu faço no Patreon: patreon.com/thelinuxgamer

E muito obrigado por me receber aqui. Eu realmente apreciei isso =)

The Heartwrenching Story Behind This Hamptons Vineyard I Fortune - Duration: 2:54.

This was my happiest place.

Growing up out here was just a child's dream.

My first memories are definitely horse related.

What happened when our father passed away...

I was 26, and had a full career in New York City,

and when it came to selling to my brother -- I couldn't do it.

Your sister Joey, you took over this place with her,

buying out your two other siblings after the death of your father.

How is that partnership...

You didn't really grow up together as I understand.

We... We didn't grow up but we've grown very close.

It's wonderful working together with her.

Mark and I really kind of focus on whatever we're very good at.

So, you know, he's much more focused on the wine the quantities.

And I'm much more on the marketing and creative side.

It's kind of amazing to get to know your sibling through business.

The most famous bottle you have is 'Summer in a Bottle.'

Tell us a bit about how that came to be?

A winemaker, Roman Roth, realized very early that the customers,

people in general, want to drink lighter wines.

The rosé should be fun and light and elegant,

but because we use different grape varieties,

we add a little extra texture and make it more interesting.

So our regular rosé, we're picking seven days, eight days earlier

than the 'Summer in a Bottle.'

So by waiting a little longer, alcohol comes a little up,

acidity goes down, pH goes up,

which makes it a little softer, a little rounder, a little fruitier.

That combination of the flavor being luscious,

has been a winning recipe.

We are not a trend.

We are here to stay.

We mean something.

We're really true to who we are, and I'm, that's how I live my life,

and that's how we have to run our businesses.

Because if you're exactly who you are, it'll work.

And it continues to do so.

You agree?

3 Things You Can't Hide From An Empath - Duration: 4:19.

3 Things You Can�t Hide From An Empath

Empaths come into the world already experts of nuance and what isn�t revealed.

A true empath can discern which way is up with others, but it doesn�t mean it is fun

for an empath.

It�s often quite the opposite.

It isn�t easy for them to call out a friend, relative, or colleague on being dishonest

on a �hunch�.

Because for them, it is never just a hunch.

They don�t just hear truth or dishonesty, they feel it.

They are connected to the unseen field of consciousness via their extra ordinary open

senses, the first one being their intuitive sense, a.k.a. the sixth sense, but it is really

our first, original sense.

Because of this, they will almost always surround themselves with a close-knit circle of like-integrity

and like-vibe people who share in an uplifting, supportive, peaceful give and receive way

of being, without the heaviness of the toxic energy of expectation and demand.

This allows them to remain connected to the field and in the higher levels of vibration

it requires to maintain their energetic and physical bodies allowing them to maintain

a vessel of clarity.

Keep in mind; empaths are far from perfect.

They came here to experience joys, happiness, sadness, loss, love and struggle like everyone

else.

They are often misunderstood and don�t feel they fit in the world like most.

And they thrive when they finally realize they came here to help usher in sensitivity,

by using their own, to help heal a world that values the opposite.

So, it is just as important to their human experience and purpose as it is to yours that

they learn from their life experiences.

If you have a friendship with one, chances are they one of your more trustworthy, dependable

friends with traits like loyalty, kindness, and honesty.

But don�t assume their sensitivity is a weakness; it�s their strength.

And the more they trust themselves, the stronger it gets, and the easier it becomes to walk

away from toxicity and towards relationships based on respect and ease.

Here are 3 things that you can never hide from an empath:

1.

A True Motive

Empaths are clearly intuitive and most (but not all) are soul-sighted as well, so another�s

true inner climate (turmoil or peace) is as clear to them as the sky is blue regardless

of what they are presenting.

2.

An Insincere Fa�ade

Their radar is always receiving so they become adept at picking their peace and choosing

their battles.

They not only know when they�re being used as an ear for their sage advice as they�re

known for saying just the right thing, or for opportunistic reasons, they know why.

(see #1).

True empaths have an innate empathy for others and won�t fight an inauthentic fire with

authentic fire.

They will walk away from unhealthy, low vibration situations quietly.

3.

An Insincere Gift

It doesn�t matter what the gift is; flattery, companionship, a great opportunity, money,

or a ride home from the airport.

If there is a hint of a string attached or a whiff of agenda, they will know.

An empath will always prefer and respect the brutal truth over the disappointing lie and

the person who delivers it.

Episode 55

I'll probably wait for next year, an uninterrupted, bright sun in the summer. - Thinking of a Beauty from Nine Chapters by Qu Yuan

What is it?

Do you still remember about the reduction of taxes in Quan County?

Of course I remember. You did so much then,

but in the end, it was all in vain.

That time, it was so hard to reduce the taxes because

the so-called ancestral laws of Chu were suppressing on top of it.

If we want the people to live better,

those old rules must be changed.

What do you want me to help you do?

Receive the Heaven's order and change the old laws.

Casting yarrow wands to determine hexagrams from the Zhou Yi of the Book of Changes

Resolute mind and spirit,

heroic ghosts worthy of excellence.

The bravest warriors of the State of Chu,

your spirits be at ease.

[Chu]

Leave the down and add the up.

There is a fire at the center of the swamp.

Change. Change.

Please rise, Great Shaman of Chu.

Your Majesty, leaving is the fire and adding is the swamp.

The water above will fall down while the fire below will rise.

If the fire flourishes, the water will dry up. If the water increases, the fire will be put out.

The two of them can co-exist and can counter each other.

Change is then needed to happen. As stated in Xiao Chu Yaoci, (T/N Xiao Chu is Hexagram 9 of the Zhou Yi, divination text of the Book of Changes; Yaoci are the six line statements used to modify the Hexagram's main line of text)

"use the leather from a yellow ox to tie it up tightly."

When a king wants to make wise laws,

if he desires for change,

he then must push the old ways aside.

Great Shaman of Chu, what do you mean?

Your Majesty, Heaven's intention is such.

The State of Chu needs a big change

for it to have a new hope.

Mo Chou Palace

Little Sister Mo Chou.

No, I should call you Great Shaman of Chu.

You are being too courteous, Big Sister.

I know that Little Sister went to make an offering to the dead warriors of Chu.

You must be very tired. Come.

These are snacks I had made for you. I brought them over just for you.

You are too kind. Please come in.

Okay.

You are indeed very different now.

The movement of your hands and feet all have the air of a Great Shaman of Chu.

You already are not that little musician

who doesn't want to learn palace etiquette and doesn't abide with palace rules.

I must look at you differently now.

Please stop teasing me.

I never imagined that the me who used to get a headache when seeing rules,

would become the Great Shaman of Chu now. It seems ridiculous even to me.

These past days, I didn't have the chance to have a good chat with you.

When I heard that you were sick in the Cold Palace,

I didn't know what to do!

Now, seeing that you are perfectly fine in front of me,

I am so happy, I cannot speak!

Do you really know how to bring the dead back to life?

Of course! Or else, how would Big Sister Mo Chou be here perfectly fine?

If I knew long ago that you had this miraculous power,

I wouldn't have needed to shed so many sad tears for you.

How could I have such a miraculous power?

The gods were just watching over me.

That's why I obtained a new life.

No matter what, I should be happy for you.

It's just that there's one thing I don't quite understand.

What do you not understand?

You don't like staying in the palace.

Since everyone thought you died from an illness this time,

then you can live freely for yourself.

Why did you come back?

Do you have other plans?

Everyone has their fate. Ever since I was born,

the blood of a shaman has been running in my veins.

So, perhaps becoming the Great Shaman of Chu is my fate.

You have such a great heart.

Since it's like that, there isn't much I need to worry about.

Thank you, Big Sister. Come, drink tea.

Ling Jun, today, the Great Shaman of Chu mentioned about the divination of change.

What do you think about it?

I believe that treating a person's illness

is no different with treating a country's illness.

You mean, does my State of Chu have an illness too?

Allow me to be frank. It is not just the country that is ill.

Also, the sickness has already reached the bones.

I used to think that if the six countries unite to destroy Qin,

it can let my Chu enjoy the flourishing age of the world forever.

Who would have thought that with the battle at Hangu Pass,

each country actually had their own intentions.

On the outside we are united, but in reality we are not. How can the Vertical Alliance be easy?

Only if the country is strong can it ensure peace.

If the country isn't strong,

just relying on our friendly relationships with other countries,

I'm afraid that's neglecting the root in pursuit of the tip.

Then let us hear it. How can we make the State of Chu stronger?

Constitution.

My lady, let me do it!

Your body is so important right now!

I always helped my husband clean up his books.

If you try to meddle, you surely will forget it.

It's just some bamboo scrolls. What's so hard about that?

Caiwei!

My stomach!

-My lady, what's wrong? -It hurts!

I think I'm in labor!

Attendants! Attendants!

-My lady! -Hurry and call for a physician!

-Yes! -Come!

What you mean is...to change the constitution?

That's right. May I ask Your Majesty, it is difficult to govern a country.

Why is that so?

I am willing to hear your opinions.

I think that the difficulty in governing a country is due to difficulty in governing a person.

Right now, the country is decaying.

The local officials connive with local bullies.

The people have no way of getting by.

Have Your Majesty ever wondered,

"Why are there so many rats?"

Do you need to ask?

It's because of all those corrupt officials and local bullies being overly greedy.

I don't think so.

I believe that every human has personal desires.

The personal desire of a human is like a deluge, a ferocious beast.

And in this world, everyone can become rats.

Your Majesty, that's why we need to

make restrictions to control human desires.

That's why the treatment that you are suggesting

is to reform the constitution?

Indeed.

I still remember that before I started my term as a county magistrate at Quan County,

Your Majesty wanted me to 'use the heart of a poet to personally experience what good governance is'.

You said that 'in time, I will understand it'.

I have always remembered that.

For so long, I carefully tried to understand it.

I finally found the answer.

Tell it to me then.

The essence of beautiful governance is having harmonious people and logical administration, a world in harmony.

It's in restricting personal lusts, suppressing one's desires and daring to speak.

It is also that interests, power, and laws must all have a basis.

And also with sharing happiness and blessings with your citizens.

All of these are based on a country's book of rules, the constitution.

Your Majesty, the past constitution is already not suitable for the current Chu.

All things in this world must change to survive.

If you don't, you die.

Your Majesty, reforming the constitution is the only path to strengthen our Chu.

There is no other way.

Your Majesty! Vice Chancellor Qu! Madam Qu...is going to deliver soon!

What?

Madam, push harder...

Use more energy.

- Push harder! - Young Mistress...

Madam... Madam, push hard.

Push a little harder.

- How is it? - With Madam's current state,

the child will surely be unable to be delivered.

The delivery might kill her!

I'll go in and take a look first.

Give it more strength, Madam.

Xia'er...mother is here.

- You must hold on. - You must hold on, Madam.

Xia'er, push hard.

Doctor, hurry and save my wife.

Vice Chancellor, don't worry. I surely will do my best.

Put more power, Madam. Put more energy.

Xia'er...

Madam, hold on...

Xia'er...

Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki

- Qu Yuan. - Why are you here?

His Majesty is worried so he sent me over to look.

How is she?

She was in labor since this morning and she still hasn't delivered.

She has delivered!

- She has delivered! It's a girl. She looks like Xia'er. - Really?

Let me hold her.

How can you carry a child like that? Just let me do it.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

There is still another child in Madam's womb.

But Madam has already lost so much blood earlier.

She won't be able to hold on.

I'll go in and take a look.

Master, when a woman delivers a child, men cannot go in. It will bring disaster.

What time is it already?! I can't care that much anymore!

Vice Chancellor Qu, from the current situation,

I'm afraid that we can only save one among the mother and the child.

What are you saying?! We both want the mother and the child.

I beg you...save the child...don't mind me.

Vice Chancellor Qu, Madam was carrying a twin pregnancy.

If we forcefully deliver it, both the mother and child may die.

I dare not make a decision.

Xia'er...

What should we do?

Let me.

You?

Mother...

There's no more time. Everyone go out first.

Hurry! There's no more time!

Sister Bixia, you must try to endure it a little.

Mo Chou...if I die...

I beg you to take good care of my children...

They all are husband's children.

They are also your children.

Your daughter just got born.

Do you want her to lose her mother after she just came out of this world?

No. You and the child will all be fine.

It's a boy.

Let me.

Bi Xia... Bi Xia! Look at me!

I heard that Vice Chancellor Qu's wife has delivered.

- One boy, one girl. - Oh?

Having both a boy and a girl. It's really Qu Yuan's good luck.

Send them the red bird's nest that His Majesty rewarded me last time.

Use Heng'er's name.

That red bird's nest is a high quality product.

You can't even bear to eat it.

His Majesty really trust Qu Yuan a lot.

His wife, Zhao Bixia, is also the daughter of Chancellor Zhao He.

We must not be thrifty with it.

In the future, Heng'er will naturally have to rely on the two of them.

Prince Zi Heng has Minister Jing supporting him. Why will he still need them?

You're wrong. The more enemies you make,

it's like having more help.

I'll do it right away.

Hit him hard! Hit him until he learns his lesson!

Royal Mother, why are you this angry?

This servant actually placed the cloud-print grain receptacle used during offerings to Heaven upside down.

Totally preposterous!

I deserve to die!

This item doesn't really look different if it faces up or down. No wonder he placed it wrongly.

You said it so casually.

Do you know the origin of this cloud-print grain receptacle?

It is an item used by our ancestors when they built the Chu country.

This grain receptacle carries the heaven on top and covers the earth below.

Can you turn the heaven and earth upside down?

It is because that your Royal Father played with this cloud-print grain receptacle and replaced it upside down

that he almost got stabbed to death by your grandfather.

Turning this cloud-print grain receptacle upside down is a crime of rebellion.

I deserved to die! I deserve to die!

You indeed deserve to die!

Good thing you are just a servant. You don't have an ability to revolt.

If you were a minister, Queen Dowager would surely have you executed!

Queen Dowager, have mercy!

Queen Dowager, although it must be the heaven above and the earth below in this cloud-print grain receptacle,

the heavens and earth accommodate each other. When the heavens and earth move, there surely will be a new life.

And right now, it happens to be that our Chu must try to change its fate.

The cloud-print grain receptacle getting turned upside down is actually a good sign.

Since the Great Shaman of Chu has already said it that way,

I'll spare this servant's life then.

Thank you for Queen Dowager's grace. Thank you for Great Shaman of Chu's grace.

Your Majesty, why are you very anxious?

Just misplacing a cloud-print grain receptacle already caused Queen Dowager to be that angry.

Qu Yuan wants to touch the constitution. I think that will be a more difficult feat.

You all should grow up quickly. Once you've grown up,

I'll teach you how to read poems.

You only know poems.

What's wrong with learning poems? Maybe my son will be better than I am in the future.

His Majesty has arrived!

Cai Wei, be careful a little.

- Your Majesty. - No need for formalities.

Madam Qu, no need for formalities.

Let me look at these little babies.

That one is the boy and this one is a girl.

This little lord has a flat and wide forehead and very broad and thick eyebrows.

He surely will be some successful lad in the future.

This little lady is quite beautiful too.

Madam Qu has given the Qu family a boy and a girl.

You really have rendered the Qu family great service.

Have the children been named?

Your Majesty, the boy's name is Qu Shu. The girl's name is Qu Ying.

Good names! Qu Ying.

Ling Jun always writes about flowers and grasses.

This must be the reason why her name has a "Ying" in it. Am I right?

Your Majesty really know me very well.

Ling Jun, I came to discuss something with you today.

Your Majesty, please.

Your Majesty, about the reforms,

I started thinking about it a while ago.

Ling Jun, I know you're thinking for the State of Chu.

I also know that you have always been hard-working.

It's just that this matter about reforms is a huge matter.

I am afraid that it will cause problems.

It is indeed hard to push for reforms. Just like that pair of children that I have.

If there's no pain of labor, how can there be new lives?

Your Majesty, reforming is also just like that.

Ling Jun, I am still supportive about your reforms. But you must promise me

that you must proceed in a convenient manner, in order, and don't rush it.

Do not worry, Your Majesty.

Big Sister, these children are so cute!

Since you like the children so much,

why not be their godmother?

Godmother?

You are their savior.

It makes sense for them to call you godmother.

You're not afraid that as godmother,

I'll try to take the children from you?

I would be so happy for the children to have another mother to love them.

Don't cry, look, godmother has come to see you!

Ling Jun, I fear that the path to reforms is a hard one. You must prepare yourself.

The road is boundless, cultivation so distant.

I shall explore it from beginning to end.

Your Majesty, don't worry.

For my ambitions, I am willing to die and not regret it.

I am willing to assist Ling Jun in exploring it from beginning to end.

I won't abandon my words or regret it.

A few days ago, the Great Shaman of Chu said it.

If we wish for new life, we must push away the old ways.

My State of Chu needs some changes.

Let me hear your ideas.

Since none of you will say it, then I'll say it.

During these years, what sort of state has my State of Chu been?

I believe that all of you know that very well.

We appear strong but are actually very weak. Our citizens are in wretched poverty and are dejected.

But the local magistrates are living quite well!

They use my name

to be bullies and steal from the poor.

But the people? They either run away or escape.

Some even left the State of Chu!

They put all their grudges on me!

They say that I protect the officials.

They say that there is no law in the State of Chu!

What nonsense!

Your Majesty, if we just let these local magistrates continue to bully and steal from the people,

the time will come, how can the country still be mighty? How can the king still be mighty?

Does Vice Chancellor Qu have any suggestions?

Your Majesty, the citizens of Chu now are so impoverished and in suffering a lot.

I think that if we want to correct the world, we should start with the root

and cut off the wrong and decaying styles, change the rotten and corrupt government laws.

What you are referring to is...?

Reform the constitution.

Your Highness, don't you think it is odd?

The morning court today has almost been held until wu hour . (T/N the time interval from 11 am to 1 pm)

Up until now, it still isn't finished.

I wonder what requires such a long discussion.

Recently, the king and Qu Yuan have been holding secret conversations.

I'm afraid something is going to happen.

Go and investigate.

You must find a way to discover what they're talking about.

Yes.

Preposterous! The constitution has been our country's foundation of rules for hundreds of years.

How can we rashly change it?

It is indeed because that the constitution has been made hundreds of years ago.

Everything in this world changes with the passing of time.

If we want to build a new Chu, we must change the constitution.

This constitution...it seems unsuitable to talk about it now.

That's right. Is the current Chu not the past Chu anymore?

If the State of Chu's foundation hasn't changed, the State of Chu's rules also cannot change!

Royalty is born royalty, and commoners are born commoners.

Are those the rules?

The officials extort excessive taxes and levies. The citizens become destitute and homeless.

Are those the rules?

Only if we break the old rules will the State of Chu have a new chance of survival!

Only then will the people live peacefully!

That's why reforming the constitution is the way to conform to the wants of the citizens.

Wants of the citizens?

Are we supposed to do exactly what the commoners think?

The rich enjoying the flavors of their meals, the poor gnawing on husks and working for a living, that's just right and unalterable.

What nonsense!

In ruling a country, if you don't think of ways for your citizens to receive blessings, just letting them suffer,

what use is there to being king?

Correct the country's guiding principle, gather the hearts of the people,

I think that's what we should be doing now.

Your Majesty, the desires of the citizens are an endless pit. It will just keep getting empty no matter how you fill it up.

We cannot, just to satisfy all their desires,

and turn the State of Chu on its head!

As they say, if you don't destroy them, you cannot build a new one. Only by reforming the constitution

can we correct the guiding principles, strengthen our power, and gather the hearts of the people.

Use the constitution to build the country's might and restrict personal desires and we can then enforce beautiful governance.

What did you say? Beautiful governance?

That's right. Beautiful governance. If a person is beautiful, then he can do beautiful governance.

A beautiful government can lead to a beautiful country.

Have women lead the court? (T/N "mei ren" is woman, or beautiful person)

Vice Chancellor Qu, have you gone crazy?

I believe you are mistaken. The "mei ren" that I am referring to

is a person with beautiful character, talent, and moral integrity.

He is what we presently call a virtuous person.

- Since Minister Jing can't become a beautiful person, you then won't understand beautiful governance. - You...

Your Majesty, as I see it,

Vice Chancellor Qu has created too much poems.

He dares to treat official matters as child's play!

Coming up with some beautiful governance thing.

He's just dreaming!

This way, the State of Chu's thousands of years of stability,

will be ruined in this poet's hands!

I ask Your Majesty to punish Qu Yuan for his crime.

You want to punish Qu Yuan for his crime? Then do you want to punish me?

Beloved Subject Qu's wishes are my wishes!

What? Reforming the constitution?

That's right, Your Lady Highness. But what is a constitution?

The constitution is Chu's foundation.

This Qu Yuan wants to reform the constitution...

I'm afraid he wants to change the State of Chu from the roots.

Then what should we do now?

Why rush?

This constitution concerns the interests of those high officials.

You think that they will let Qu Yuan change the constitution smoothly?

You eat from the salary that I give you but you don't think of ways to unburden me.

You enjoy the taxes paid by the citizens but you don't plead for them.

If you all will be this kind of officials, what are your difference then with a vermin?

I...know I am guilty.

Vice Chancellor Qu said is right. If we want the country to become stronger and richer, we must start with change.

If we desire beautiful governance, we also must start with change.

Your Majesty, lords of the court.

The will of the Heaven asks for change. Everything in this world will surely change.

Natural law first before human laws.

Do you all hear that?

-Beloved Subject Zhao. -Here.

Now that the will of the heavens, my will, and the will of the citizens are pointing toward reforms,

as the government's Chancellor, what is your opinion about reforming the constitution?

I...

I have no objections.

Then what about everyone else?

We have no objections.

Qu Yuan, hear my order!

I am here!

I am giving you complete power to lead the changes and reform the constitution.

The Great Shaman of Chu will do her best to help you.

-Yes. -Yes!

This He Shi Bi is the treasure of my State of Chu.

Starting from today, I will give this He Shi Bi to you for safekeeping.

Subject Qu, I am allowing you to use this jade in asking three requests from me.

No matter what happens in the future, I will agree to your request.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

If there will be anyone who will still counter the reforms, he will be executed and not forgiven!

Your Majesty is intelligent!

Subject Qu, I gave you the power to change the laws.

Hope you can give my Chu back a beautiful governance.

Or else, I will blame you!

Do not worry, Your Majesty!

I will do my best and willing to die for it numerous times.

Grand Adviser, you must be careful when speaking in court now.

Maybe one of our words can let other people pull our hair.

I really am going through bad luck.

Aren't these bad lucks all brought by that witch?

His Majesty has been poisoned and bewitched by the two of them.

It'd be strange if the State of Chu doesn't run into trouble!

That Qu Yuan and that Mo Chou, one being proud and aloof,

the other being an evil witch.

The two of them acting in collusion with each other. Don't know what is going on between them behind closed doors!

Husband? Come and look.

I had some clothes made for the children.

Do they look good?

Husband, looking at your face, who angered you?

Who else could it be? It's your great son-in-law!

It's been so long already. Why are you still unsatisfied with him?

Do you think I'm willing to be like this?

It's enough that he did those ridiculous things in the past. He is young, so I won't hold it against him!

But today, he actually said that he wanted to reform the constitution!

Constitution? This Qu Yuan...

Why does he always attack the things of generations past?

Before, he said that he wanted to reduce the taxes.

He already faced so much rejection then.

Now this is just great.

He even dared to touch the constitution!

The king...the king actually agreed!

Husband, do not be so angry yet.

Since the king agreed, why not support him?

Support him? How could I support him?

If I support him, that's like guiding him to the wrong path.

Also, recently he's gotten close to that Mo Chou again!

What? Didn't he promise us before?

What does the past count as?

Don't forget. She's the Great Shaman of Chu now!

I heard that Your Majesty is preparing to reform the laws.

You heard too, Beloved?

Vice Chancellor Qu and the Great Shaman of Chu are preparing to reform the constitution.

It's spread through the entire palace now.

If we don't reform the laws, it would already be hard

for my Chu to regain its former glory.

Reforming the laws can reestablish your past glory?

What do you mean?

I am just a woman.

I don't understand these great principles behind these reforms.

But I heard

that many lords of the court are against it.

Those old things are just thinking of their own benefits.

It is just common for the high ministers of a palace to be a bit stubborn.

They are all old lords of the court.

Would they not want the State of Chu to do well?

I instead think that reforms are indeed plausible.

The important thing is how it is changed.

I absolutely believe in Qu Yuan.

With him here, I'm at ease!

Since Your Majesty trusts Lord Qu so much,

then I hope that he really will do as you say.

Qu Manor

Father, Mother, why have you come?

Xia'er. Where is Qu Yuan?

He...hasn't come back from court yet.

He already is a father. How long ago has the court ended?

He still doesn't know to come back?

Lord Father.

You're back? Father and Mother have come to see us.

Xia'er. Take me to see the children.

Madam, you are playing favorites. You won't hold Ying'er.

Who says?

I love Ying'er and Shu'er both.

Look, Ying'er looks so much like My Lady.

It's better for your daughter to be like her father.

Staying at home every day and not going outside.

If the boy is like Qu Yuan,

in the future, you'll have to worry about him.

You really don't know your limits.

You actually dare to talk about reforms during the court?

Reforming the constitution of the present Chu is what the Heaven wanted.

The heaven's will? Just based on a few words from that Mo Chou?

Fine. Let's not talk about the Heaven's will. How about the will of the people? The will of the king?

Stop talking about people will, king's will, heaven's will, earth's will with me.

Lord Father, today at court in the morning,

you supported the change in front of the entire court.

I was just forced by you and His Majesty. You think I have a choice to disagree?

Lord Father, as the current Chancellor, are you going to go back on your word?

You have the king's support.

If you want to insist on changing the constitution, I also can't stop you.

But this way,

you will only create more enemies in court!

If I was afraid of offending others,

I'll just be like Lord Father and just be a peacemaker. Why bother reforming laws?

Pawlik Automotive - 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo Automatic Transmission - Duration: 5:14.

Mark: Hi it's Mark from Top Local, we're here with Bernie Pawlik, Pawlik Automotive,

Vancouver's best auto service experience.

How're you doing this morning Bernie?

Bernie: I'm doing very well.

Mark: So we're going to talk about a 2007 Monte Carlo that had an automatic transmission

problem.

What was going on with this Monte Carlo?

Bernie: Well, first step of course is always for us to road test the vehicle, the client

was experiencing some shifting problems, I drove the vehicle and definitely noted there's

some shifting issues.

At first it seemed to be fine and then there was the odd, a sort of three four, third to

fourth gear type shift there was a kind of a weird feel to it and then I noticed after

a while of driving, I'd stop and go to start and it would jump out of gear and then jump

back in again.

So that was clearly a pretty significant problem.

Mark: So what kind of diagnostic steps did you do to narrow down what the problem was?

Bernie: Well first thing of course is a road test to verify the concern, which we did,

second plug a scan tool into the vehicle, I mean this is an 07 there's lots of computer

controls in the transmission, plugged the scan tool in, see if there are any trouble

codes, that gives us an area to look and there was actually none.

And my kind of initial, my gut feeling from driving it is maybe there's a fluid problem,

maybe the fluid level was low and sure enough, the next step was the check the fluid level.

This vehicle has a dipstick which surprised me because a lot of GM's of this vintage

don't have dipsticks and you can still check the level, it's just a lot more work.

Put the dipstick in, pulled it out and the fluid wasn't even reading on the stick.

It took two litres of fluid to actually get the reading close to normal.

From there we road tested the vehicle to see how it works and it shifted fine which I kind

of suspected it would.

Mark: So what else did you do?

Bernie: Ok so from there, basically the next step was to, we could of let the vehicle go

at that point because it was working but the fluid was discoloured and it makes send to

look inside the pan and see if there's any damage.

Also of course, why's the fluid level low?

So we looked underneath, did an inspection and found the leak was coming from the transmission

pan gasket and you know, that's a pretty common spot for a leak.

So we pulled the transmission pan down, inspected inside, fortunately there was absolutely no

filings, materials like particles of any sort which is really good news for the owner of

the vehicle.

Yeah, so that's basically what we did from there.

Mark: So how did if work after the service?

Bernie: Oh it was awesome.

So what I should add is in addition to changing the pan gasket and filter, we also did a transmission

fluid flush because the fluid was old and discoloured.

So yeah it was great, road tested the vehicle, worked absolutely fabulously and I want to

share a few photos while we're at it because it's interesting, so where were we here,

so here's our Monte Carlo, good vehicle.

I know for quite a few years they built this car looking at the same type of design of

vehicle so it actually surprised me it was when they got it it was actually new as it

was, I thought it was a lot older.

Anyway so here's the transmission pan that we took out.

Now I'm going to share a couple photos of this pan.

So this is the pan, and this area here, someone has used a cork gasket and put some silicone

or some Right Stuff Gasket Sealer on there, probably nothing really wrong with it, it's

not exactly the right gasket, but they tightened it way too tight and this area here, it's

actually the middle of the pan they tightened it so tight that the cork is squished right

out and that was one of the causes of the leak.

And now I'll share the other photo, this is the proper pan gasket that's supposed

to be in there, you can see it's a very elegant, thin gasket.

This is like a metal cored gasket with molded rubber and it's actually supposedly a reusable

gasket, we normally change them but you can take them off and reuse them.

They're meant for multi purpose use.

So again, we put the proper gasket on with the filter and it works fine.

Mark: So we don't see a lot of these Monte Carlos, how are they?

Bernie: Pretty good cars, as I say, yeah we don't really see many of these cars, I don't

think they made a lot of them but when you open the hood, it's a typical GM vehicle

of that vintage, I'm trying to think of others but there's other Chevy's, there's

Pontiac's and Buick's that if you look under the hood they have the same engine configuration,

same transmission, generally a pretty reliable vehicle.

A few problems here and there but overall pretty good car.

Mark: Alright if you're looking for service for your GM vehicle, the guys to see in Vancouver

are Pawlik Automotive.

You can reach them at 604-327-7112 or check out their website pawlikautomotive.com.

Thanks Bernie.

Bernie: Thanks Mark.

Episode 56

Since they pursued the fashion of the time, why wonder that they decayed even in their prime? - Li Sao (the Grievances) by Qu Yuan

You really don't know your limits.

You actually dared to talk about reforms during the court session?

Reforming the constitution of the present Chu is what the heavens wanted.

The heavens' will? Just based on a few words from that Mo Chou?

Alright, let's not talk about the heavens' will.

How about the will of the citizens? the king's will?

Stop talking about the citizen's will, the king's will, the heavens' will, the earth's will with me.

Lord Father, this morning at court,

you supported the change in front of the entire court.

I only got forced by you and His Majesty. Do I have any choice but to agree?

Lord Father, as the current Chancellor,

are you going to go back on your word?

You have His Majesty supporting you and if you want to insist on changing the constitution,

I can't stop you.

But this way, you will only create more enemies at court!

If I was afraid of offending others, I'd be like you

and just be a peacemaker. Why bother reforming laws?

Be good.

Xia'er.

Xia'er, you must keep an eye on Qu Yuan

and his associations with that Mo Chou.

Mother, I know about Ling Jun and Little Sister Mo Chou's affections.

What?

Since you know, why won't you stop them from associating with each other?

Mother, nothing will happen between them.

You must not get muddled.

Actually, I was the one that let Little Sister Mo Chou

help Ling Jun more in court.

My silly daughter!

If this were (happening to) other people, they surely would hinder it.

Look at you, always calling her "Little Sister".

Do you want Qu Yuan to always have her in his heart?

That Mo Chou is the Grand Shaman of Chu now.

I heard from your father that even the king listens to her!

Such a manipulative woman...

Besides, her relationship with Qu Yuan before is unclear.

-If you still won't keep an eye on it, then-! -Mother.

Don't worry. I know what to do about my own matters.

You won't hear anything I say now anyway.

You should think it over yourself.

Alright. You insist on bringing trouble onto yourself!

I can't stop you!

Then don't bring that trouble to me!

Okay. Lord Father, I will take responsibility for my own actions.

Besides, I am not only Zhao Bixia's husband now.

I am also the father of two children. What I should do, I have my own plans.

Alright!

Alright!

Is there meaning to this?

You appeared again?

None of them understand me. None of them understand my intentions.

Forget it. Don't bother with them. You've come just in time.

Come! Drink with me!

I'm talking about you!

Me?

I didn't imagine that the adult me would be so stupid.

How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?

You are me, and I am you!

- Stop treating me like a father treating his child! - You...

I thought you already expected this difficult situation.

But never thought that just after hearing some criticism,

you'd hide here and drown your sorrows in wine!

If in the future, the person you trust most,

the person you depend on most cannot understand you,

perhaps even betrays you, what will you do?

I thought you knew what you were doing!

I thought you knew what you needed to face!

I thought you knew what the worst outcome was!

You know that nothing can stop your determination.

I thought you knew what you should do!

I know! I know everything!

Good. Great!

Ling Jun, you've worked hard.

Your Majesty, if we just follow this new constitution,

in less than three years, our Chu will surely be in peaceful and prosperous times.

The world returning their trust in the government.

Okay. We will reestablish the past might of my ancestors.

I will make new advocates.

As long as there is a beautiful ruler, there will be beautiful governance.

With beautiful governance, there will be beautiful citizens.

Good! I will do as you say.

You are completely in charge!

But this is just a beautiful dream of mine.

Are you using me to find fun?

I do not dare.

It's just that, if we really follow this new constitution,

I'm afraid many officials will become uneasy.

Just let them be uneasy.

Your Majesty. If they are uneasy,

then can I be at ease?

Unless Your Majesty agrees to a few of my requirements.

Speak.

First, the reforms must be discussed. Everything must be for the sake of strengthening the country.

Second, appoint people according to their merits.

Third, the law must not give any allowance.

The nobles can also be punished.

The nobles can also be punished?

I agree. We will do as you say!

I have one more requirement.

Speak.

- The king and citizens must be treated equally. - This...

If we don't do so, what's the use of talking about beautiful governance,

then this will all be empty!

With those words from Your Majesty,

I surely will implement this new constitution until the very end.

Ling Jun, just be at ease and do it. If any problem will arise, I will bear it for you.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Ling Jun, tell me.

Where should we start the changes from?

Choose the crown prince.

Isn't my Chu's crown prince Zi Heng?

Based on the ancestral laws, Prince Zi Heng being your eldest son

indeed should be the crown prince.

But the rules of choosing the crown prince

are more important than choosing who will be the crown prince.

I asked you to think of ways but how come you keep giving me problems?

Your Majesty, choose the virtuous and able one and gain the trust of the country.

Start with assigning the crown prince so this can serve as an example.

Does Your Majesty still remember when you left the He Shi Bi to me for safekeeping?

I can ask for three requests that Your Majesty will not object to, no matter what.

You wouldn't be asking me a first request this fast, right?

Indeed. I hope that Your Majesty can allow me

to choose the crown prince again to give Chu future prosperity.

You...never consider my difficult situation.

Fine. We'll do as you say.

Your Majesty is wise.

This is the new constitution that Vice Chancellor Qu finished making a few days ago.

I already carefully read it.

The rules and laws here were all made practical.

I think that this is indeed what our Chu needs right now.

Starting today, this will become my Chu's governing foundation.

My fellow beloved subjects, read the newly-reformed constitution

when you go home.

Yes.

Conferring the crown prince is a important matter of the country.

The constitution clearly states that we must choose able and virtuous officials to serve.

In choosing able and virtuous officials, we should start in choosing the crown prince.

In all the years of the State of Chu, I've never heard of something like this before.

That's right!

Could it be that he doesn't want Prince Heng to be the crown prince?

By the king's order, in three days,

I will hold an exam for Prince Heng and Prince Lan.

Test the two princes in terms of virtuousness, abilities, talents, and moral character.

The winner will immediately become the crown prince.

Court is dismissed!

Say, what really does His Majesty want?

Who does he want to be the crown prince?

Ever since ancient times, the eldest has been the crown prince.

Prince Zi Heng is the eldest prince.

He is also the son of Nan Hou (the Queen).

The position of crown prince automatically should have been his.

If His Majesty wants to crown Prince Zi Heng, why make such a fuss?

Wouldn't it be fine if he just directly crowns him?

That's right. Looks like His Majesty doing this

means he wants to crown Prince Zi Lan as crown prince.

Say, what are you all blindly discussing here?

Qu Yuan and the Great Shaman of Chu thought of such a way to choose the crown prince.

It's clear that they want to use this chance

to train their own ally. Can't you see that?

What? Choose the crown prince anew?

Yes, Queen Mother. The king also said

that he wants Zi Heng and Zi Lan to compete in a few days.

He says whoever wins will be the crown prince!

The crown prince has always been the eldest prince!

Why must they still hold some competition to choose the most virtuous and most able one? Nonsense!

I heard that it was Vice Chancellor Qu who urged His Majesty to do it.

What does choosing the crown prince have to do with him?

Is the Chu kingdom the Qu clan's, or is it our Xiong clan's?

Vice Chancellor Qu wants to choose virtuous and capable officials.

I don't have any opinion against that.

But Queen Mother, the crown prince is the future King of the State of Chu!

It makes no sense for the subjects to choose the king!

Come to Orchid Dais Palace with me.

I want to see who this Kingdom of Chu really belongs to!

Greetings, Queen Mother.

Queen Mother, is there something you need?

What? You think that I am old and annoying now?

I can't even come here to your palace now?

That's not what I meant.

You know what you mean.

If I did something wrong, please punish me.

About the matters in the government,

if there aren't any grave mistakes, I will try to not to bother.

But there are some words that I want to say.

Please go ahead, Queen Mother.

I heard you want to re-select the crown prince position?

Correct. I was just about to report this to you.

Was this Qu Yuan's idea?

No. Choosing and employing the virtuous and capable ones and re-selecting the crown prince are all my ideas.

You want to re-select the crown prince position.

How many lords of the court will agree to that?

I want the lords of the court to know, that in the future, in this country,

that no matter what position it is, only the capable one should do it.

Have you ever thought about Nan Hou ("Southern Queen")?

You are re-selecting the crown prince. Do you want to tell Southern Queen

Do you want to tell the Queen that Zi Heng may not become the King of Chu?

That's not what I mean! If Zi Heng wins, the crown prince position is still his!

This position was always his!

What is this talk about winning or losing?

Queen Mother, don't interfere in this.

I have already announced my order.

As a king of a country, how can I just change my words?

Fine. Your wings have grown hard. (T/N: asserting himself, he's on his own)

What I need to say, I'll stop here.

What you should do,

you'd best think it over!

Queen Dowager, I'll help you!

I don't need your help!

Jasmine Flower Palace

Lan'er.

Mother.

You're still working hard to read here?

Yes. Did you need something, Mother?

I want to tell you some good news.

You're about to have a chance to be the crown prince!

Hasn't that position always belonged to Big Brother Zi Heng?

What nonsense!

Right now, your Royal Father wants to choose one of you two

to be crown prince.

You and I are about to have our chance to rise!

Choose one of us? How?

The two of you will have three rounds of competition.

Whoever wins will be the crown prince.

Lan'er,

If you win this time, you'll be the future king of Chu!

So you must work hard.

You must not lose to Zi Heng!

Work hard? What use is working hard?

Zi Heng is always better than me.

No matter how I work hard, I'll still lose to him in the end.

You're not allowed to think like that! So what if he's amazing?

In any case, you must win.

Also, you must triumph!

To win and triumph, you can do anything!

I can do anything?

But...but Teacher doesn't usually teach us that!

What does your Teacher say?

He says: "The superior man must have things to be done, and things not to be done."

Don't listen to him.

If you listen to him, your life will be ruined.

Reading, well, that he can teach you.

But there are some things where you must listen to me.

In this world, you must think more about yourself.

You must think for your benefit,

even if you have to use underhanded tactics.

Underhanded tactics? For myself?

In these years, I've worked hard to gain your Royal Father's favor.

I put in so much effort to compete with the women in the palace.

If I didn't do that,

do you think I'd be like this today?

As long as I win, can I do anything?

Of course!

Mother, I understand.

Is there news from the Queen Dowager?

Queen Dowager wasn't able to convince His Majesty and even got angry, causing her old illness to recur.

What do we do? What should we do?

That's right! Hurry and call Zi Heng here! Hurry and call Zi Heng here!

Yes!

Hurry!

Mo Chou, you are the Great Shaman of Chu now.

You can predict the heaven's will.

Tell me. Naming the crown prince,

choosing the virtuous and employing those that are capable, is that right or wrong?

The things passed down from past generations,

are they really too old to be used?

Queen Dowager, as mentioned in Yijing , (T/N the Classic of Changes, ancient divination text and oldest Classic)

"When all means are exhausted, changes have been necessary. Once changes have been made, a solution emerges."

Everything in this world follows this order.

The principles of governing aren't an exemption.

And right now, the old laws of Chu are already gravely abused.

If it still isn't changed,

I'm afraid even the State left from the ancestors will be lost.

I think that Qu Yuan is just saying frightening things to alarm others.

He just wants to establish his own might and gain self-interest.

Your Highness, have you heard Vice Chancellor Qu's Ju Song (Ode to an Orange)?

Heard of it? My ears are already having calluses from listening to it.

Then Queen Dowager surely knows the lines, "Although you are young,

you can already be a good teacher of the people.

Your character is better than the Bo Yi of ancient times, planting you here to be a model of good conduct."

Moral character being compared to Bo Yi's? (T/N Bo Yi was a minister during the reign of Emperor Shun, one of the Five Legendary Emperors Circa 2200 BCE)

Qu Yuan has too big a breath. (bragging overly much)

Minister Qu compared himself to Bo Yi in his poem.

One can see that he is chasing after the hearts of the past sages.

If we are talking about self-interest,

Bo Yi really doesn't have thoughts of self-interest.

In the past, Emperor Yao actually wanted to give his throne to him.

He not only refused,

he even recommended Shun.

Emperor Shun conferred him as a Minister of Ceremonies. (T/N possibly Priest of Ancestral Temple)

Until the times of Emperor Li,

he again served him with all his might.

There are no longer people as loyal as that.

If Queen Dowager gets to know Vice Chancellor Qu better,

perhaps you won't think that way.

You are saying that Qu Yuan has no personal reasons for reforming the constitution?

A few days ago, Vice Chancellor Qu privately went back to Quan County.

When the people heard that he had returned,

they all traveled far to welcome him, all speaking his praises.

And when he left in the past,

the citizens knelt in front of the city gates,

and begged for him to stay.

Did that really happen?

Now, Vice Chancellor Qu is helping His Majesty reform the constitution.

Just like in the past, when Bo Yi created the

three etiquette and five punishments for Emperor Wu of Zhou, don't they have the same cause?

Then, His Majesty and Qu Yuan

can really be like Yao Di and Bo Yi?

His Majesty makes great efforts to build a strong state.

He uses benevolence to govern. Vice Chancellor Qu handle affairs justly and is very loyal.

Why can't they be compared?

Rather than worrying about if it will work or not,

Queen Dowager, why not let go

and let him try?

These two children,

are just like you as a child. Everyone who sees them loves them.

Really? You really know how to talk.

Bixia, take the children to play first.

Yes.

Shu'er, Ying'er, be careful!

Caiwei, take good care of them.

Yes.

Let's hear it.

How has Prince Zi Heng offended you?

You insist on making the king keep him from being crown prince.

I did not stop Prince Zi Heng from being crown prince.

I just want to choose the virtuous and able one.

Virtuous...

What is virtuous?

A twenty-some-year-old child,

do you know who will succeed in the future?

Besides, the rules set by the ancestors

cannot be changed back and forth.

What needs to be changed will be changed.

Change, change, change!

You always talk about change!

I really want to ask, what if we don't change?

Will Chu really get destroyed?

You're becoming more and more ridiculous.

You even want to interfere with choosing the crown prince!

You are directly placing the fire on other people's eyebrows . (T/N Pushing other people to be anxious)

Lord Father, as long as what I do is right, then I'm not afraid of anything.

I don't need anyone's protection either.

You are becoming more capable.

Then do you think this is only your own personal matter?

Bixia, and your two children!

Won't you think about them?

I thought that I found a good husband for Bixia.

But I never imagined

that I made her live with an unreasonable and muddled person!

Queen Mother! Queen Mother, please get justice for our Heng'er!

You cannot let Heng'er's crown prince position

be lost just like that!

Queen Mother!

Grandmother! You must get justice for me!

Heng'er,

the Great Shaman of Chu said it.

Change is the will of the heavens.

The State of Chu has to change.

Only then can it live again.

There's nothing I can do.

The Great Shaman of Chu?

Queen Mother, what do we do now? Even Grandmother can't do anything!

Am I really supposed to hand over my crown prince position?

Since even the Queen Dowager believes in the Great Shaman of Chu,

then we...

Let's go beg the Great Shaman of Chu!

Go look for the Great Shaman of Chu?

Heng'er, didn't you say so before?

You have associated with the Great Shaman of Chu's little brother before?

Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki

Heng'er, go on.

Queen Mother, I'm going in alone?

Yes. If I go with you,

then Great Shaman of Chu will worry about my status and neglect your words.

If you two talk privately, when she is moved,

you still have a chance to persuade her.

I understand.

Go on.

Greetings, Great Shaman of Chu.

Please rise, Prince Zi Heng.

Why have you come here?

Actually I should have come to greet you long ago.

At the Hangu Pass, it was all thanks to Lu Yi that I was able to survive.

Don't talk about the past.

No! Lu Yi was the one that saved me.

I will never forget that.

At the Hangu Pass, Lu Yi and I had sworn to be brothers.

Now that you mention it, I should call you

Big Sister Mo Chou.

That silly child, Lu Yi.

How could he become sworn brothers with a prince?

Why can't he? Vice Chancellor Qu once taught us

that the nobles and citizens must be treated equally.

So no matter if it's a prince or commoner, in my heart, there is no difference.

Big Sister Mo Chou, if one day I become the king,

I will definitely keep my promise to Lu Yi,

and treat the people well, making sure all the commoners eat well.

I will definitely keep my word.

You should say those words to His Majesty.

Vice Chancellor Qu is in charge of choosing the crown prince.

I heard Lu Yi say that you and Vice Chancellor Qu

have a deep relationship.

So, I thought of you.

Please get justice for me.

Prince Zi Heng, do you think Vice Chancellor Qu would play favorites?

Please go back.

-Zi Heng! -Queen Mother.

How did it go?

Queen Mother, what should we do now?

Don't be afraid. I'll think of another way for you.

Let's go.

Husband, what kind of flower is this? You like it so much.

This is one of the best species of orchids.

Even if you have thousands of gold, it would be hard to see one.

Someone is willing to gift such a valuable flower.

Yet they don't leave a name? Who could have given it to you?

Think about it.

Lan. (T/N "Orchid")

Could it be...Zi Lan?

He really knows your heart.

Yes.

It's just that this is a spiritual being of nature.

How can one just plant it in one's garden and let it be together with those ordinary ones?

Mother, you're so pretty!

Really? Then is the flower prettier, or am I prettier?

Of course Mother is prettier!

If you put the flower on Mother, it will become more beautiful.

What a good girl!

Yuan'er, tell me.

Am I prettier, or your orchid?

Both are pretty!

Flowers will always eventually wilt.

I will grow old one day.

So, you must learn to properly take good care of yourself.

No! You're not allowed to turn old!

They won't wilt either!

You are so good, Yuan'er.

Father, what flower is this?

This is called an orchid. It has a noble and unsullied innate nature.

If you plant it here,

can it grow well?

Orchids are rulers of the flowers.

As long as it doesn't mingle with ordinary flowers,

it won't get dirtied by the evil and pungent odor of the secular world.

Even if it wilts,

it will still forever hold its fragrance.

Father, it's such a nice flower.

Why won't you leave it at home?

Yes, Father, then you can always see it!

Shu'er, Ying'er, once you grow up,

you will understand.

Prime Minister, have there been any movements from the State of Chu lately?

Tian Ji sent a message that the State of Chu wants to re-select the crown prince.

This Xiong Huai really knows how to torment himself.

I think it is Qu Yuan's idea.

That's not a bad idea.

If Princess Ying's son was still alive, he could participate.

If Your Majesty wants to participate, you can do that right now.

You mean...?

Who does Your Majesty think will win between Zi Lan and Zi Heng?

His two children, one soft, one hard; one good in knowledge, one in martial arts skills.

Of course, Zi Heng was borne by Nan Hou (the Queen).

He also has the Jing clan's support.

He has a higher chance of winning.

Then let's have Tian Ji secretly support Zi Lan.

Depose the elder and instate the younger one.

Prime Minister, you want to get involved in this muddy Chu government waters?

Your Majesty, just wait to watch the show.

Grand Adviser Zi Shang's Manor

The day after tomorrow will be the day where the crown prince is chosen.

Do you think our Lan'er has a chance?

He has a chance, but he has to fight for it himself.

Just help him!

How about you look into Qu Yuan's thoughts?

Look for him? How could I look for him?

Qu Yuan doesn't care about fame or wealth.

What can I use to move him?

Jasmine Flower Palace

Oh, right, those fragrant incenses that I asked you to burn,

did you light them?

The Problems with ADHD - Duration: 15:03.

ADD and ADHD, what are they and what is the problems

with the diagnosis? Let's talk about that now.

[Autumn Asphodel]

Hi everyone! We are going to be discussing ADD and ADHD, the

diagnosis, and the problem with the rise of the diagnosis.

ADD stands for attention-deficit disorder. ADHD stands for

attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADD is often not a

term used anymore, so I will be calling the condition ADHD from

here out. Often ADHD is divided into different categories such

as inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive. Inattentive is where

an individual is easily distracted, which is the

characteristics of ADD. Hyperactive is where an

individual is restless, always moving and cannot stay still, as

well as talking excessively and often fast. Impulsive is when an

individual does risky activities with little to no thought,

combined with the inability to be patient and think an action

through. A diagnosis of ADHD can accompany any combinations of

these key parts. The condition is a very common diagnosis among

children. I'm sure many of you may be thinking, "These symptoms

you just described are typical of children." Very true, and we

will get to that in just a moment. With ADHD, however,

there is some evidence to suggest that it's a brain

disorder, in how the brain forms and functions. Difference in

brains, as with most any mental disorder, can often be seen on

brain scans. Despite the changes in brain function and chemistry,

as with other mental disorders as well, we have to look at two

other key components, nature and nurture. This debate is one you

may have heard about time and time again. It basically means

that behaviors and even mental disorders can stem from nature,

as in biology and genetics, or from nurture, as in what a child

learns and is taught growing up. I believe the middle ground,

that some disorders have a higher chance for being passed

on through genetics, as well as how the child is raised. I've

personally known people who were separated from their parents

from birth, exhibited mental disorders, then found their real

parents with similar problems. In addition, I've known people

who have no family history of mental disorders, were raised in

a chaotic environment, and abused, and developed severe

mental disorders as a result of the abuse, often labeled as a

condition that cannot be developed in this manner. Both

genetics and how a child is raised play a huge impact.

Parents cannot be blamed for everything, but they certainly

should be held accountable if they neglect and abuse their

children. As with any mental disorder, or just any impairment

to the traditional way of thinking and behaving, there are

going to be pros and cons. Those with mental disorders tend to be

more creative and expressive. But, any medication to get this

individual back to 'normal' will destroy the potential they have

with creative endeavors. This is why it's so important to find

ways of dealing with the symptoms in a more natural way

over synthetic chemicals that numb and destroy potential. It's

about finding the right career and work environment for the

individual, as opposed to the person conforming to a society

that says it's abnormal to think and behave in this manner. When

I was a child, I was diagnosed or close to being diagnosed with

ADD or related disorder due to my inability to stay still and

focused. At the time, medication was going to be a treatment, but

other family stopped it. I can tell you right now that if

medication were to have been prescribed and I was taking it

when I was so young that it would've ended with severe

impairment of my abilities and creativity. These symptoms

mentioned earlier, a lot of us deal with them, including

myself, which is why the work I do is so creative and my own,

which gives me the freedom I need to be happy and use any

disadvantage I have related to my inability to focus for too

long to my advantage to the point that I love what I'm doing

and actually get into a trance doing it. So learn to realize

that there are activities that will give you these rewards for

your creative work. What are some other possible causes of

ADHD-like symptoms? There are many things, especially with the

world we live in today, that can cause individuals, especially

developing children, to become easily distracted, unfocused,

and leading to dopamine in the brain to be less effective, as

is often correlated with individuals with ADHD. One of

the biggest ones is over stimulation to the child, which

causes an oversaturation of dopamine which can impair what

is thought to be a major core element in those with ADHD.

Imagine a child being exposed to constant stimulation without

rest. This includes things like technology which wasn't as

advanced as it was when I was growing up. This is such a big

one. We have television with colorful children's shows, video

games on consoles and phones, an endless supply of games to be

exact available for download on these devices, as well as the

wealth of information and things to do and look up on the

Internet. Children get sick of the TV, they go on the game, and

when they are done with that, they go to the phone for other

games, switching endlessly between app here, app there,

photos, Internet, games. There is no break and it burns the

child's dopamine receptors. If there is a break, the child

becomes bored and doesn't know what to do. Why is that? Because

we are overstimulating our children with technology and

when there isn't any, what is there to do? Seriously? Ask this

question to yourself. If you lose power and are without any

electronics and no phone reception, do you know how to

keep yourself occupied? Do you just fall asleep? Or do you

literally don't know what to do and feel like you are going

insane? The amount of people who would say the latter is

staggering. Technology has spoiled us and is creating major

problems in our lives if we don't know how to properly

utilize it. Another theory could be diet. A poor diet, lacking in

essential vitamins and minerals a child needs could cause the

body to starve for these missing elements. The body and brain

then try to function without them, which could cause an

impairment in thinking and ability to focus. If these two

things are in check, and the child has a healthy family

environment at home, and they still have difficulties, then

it's time to look at any other causes or factors, as well as

ruling out the typical child activities and behavior. After

all that, then an ADHD or other mental disorder diagnosis should

be considered. While ADHD is a legitimate diagnosis and mental

disorder, does this mean that everyone diagnosed with it has

it? Let's look at an example. A mother takes their child to

the therapist for exhibiting symptoms of hyperactivity and

inability to follow instructions and orders, as many children do

obviously since it's normal. After just one visit, the doctor

sees the problem the mother has described, diagnoses the child

with ADHD, and prescribed medication. What is the problem

with this picture? Everything is a problem with this picture.

A diagnosis was made after just one visit, with just an

evaluation of the current presentation the child has made,

as well as no background history of the child and limited

information regarding the home and school environment of the

child, or rather the parent's interpretation of it.

The diagnosis is made that says there is something abnormal with

this child and we have to change it with medication so the child

conforms and behaves. The drugging of children is

extremely dangerous and toxic to the health and future of that

child. Furthermore, what if the child only behaves this way when

they are around their mother, thus if the child's father

brought them in, the therapist would see a different child.

Does this child actually have ADHD and should be on

medication? No, I don't see it. Rather, I see a corrupt medical

industry profiting off the ideology of there is a problem,

the symptoms are being exhibited, here is a pill to

prevent the symptoms. This completely ignores the problem

to begin with, which could in fact be that the child is being

neglected by their mother so they act out for attention from

them. What is so concerning is this scenario is so common.

Doctors, especially psychiatrists, always push for

medications. The reasons being is because it's easier to have a

quick fix than it is to actually have family counseling to see

where the problem lies. Not to mention the money generated from

a young child diagnosed who are supposed to be life-long

customers of the pharmaceutical industry. Any side effects that

crop up as a result for the medication are also counteracted

with more medication. Everything is a mental disorder these days.

You got a child who is behaving like how a child should,

spontaneous, high energy, even defiant and throws temper

tantrums on occasion. Typical child things. Nope, that's now a

mental disorder. Every child has a mental disorder. Everyone has

a mental disorder. And guess what, there are psychiatric

medications for all of it. Go see a doctor and get your

prescription today. You have side effects from the

medication, they have a pill for that as well. Take them all,

don't ask question, do as you are told, obey. That is the

world we live in, which is incredibly troubling. A

psychiatrist is someone who can prescribe medication, which is

different from a psychologist which specializes in more talk

therapy. Both psychiatrists and psychologists can be extremely

corrupt, which is no wonder the pharmaceutical industry is a

huge money maker. The reason why it is so corrupt is due to what

I just mentioned, because everything is labeled as a

mental disorder and there is a medication to treat those

symptoms. After all, this is the type of false science that is

taught to psychiatrists and psychologists, to look for

anything they deem as abnormal and is in the mental disorder

book, known here as the DSM, which these days is everything.

Psychiatrists can even prescribe medication during a minor

depressive episode someone may have versus chronic depression.

It's normal to feel depressed if you just lost someone close to

you, but not according to psychiatry. Your depression is a

mental illness and there are meds to help you not feel

depressed anymore. Numbing the pain so the person doesn't know

how to deal with the problem, like a crutch. Think of it like

lifting weights, you have to lift stronger and stronger

weights to see improvements and gains. If you lift small weights

because they are easier and expect gains, then you will make

little to no progress because you are putting no effort into

improving. Medication, for some people, can be this crutch. When

you treat the symptoms instead of the cause of these symptoms,

you never get to the root of the issue and will never overcome

it. When you realize that this is how medical science works,

it's easy to see the flaws and holes associated with it and how

advances in treatments don't actually address the real

problem, but cover up and mask the true issues that are under

the surface that need to be discovered and worked on for a

stronger, more well rounded individual. This is why I firmly

believe that a diagnosis of ADHD is largely that of a scam. It is

a real disorder and affects the people who have it, but the

amount of cases and legitimate diagnoses is largely inflated

due to a misdiagnosis, whether it be intentional

or unintentional by the doctor. Medication can only do so much,

and for those that have been improperly diagnosed, it can

cause more harm to the individual than it could

possibly help, especially if the root cause had never been

addressed. So the conclusion here is that ADHD is

characterized by symptoms of being easily distracted,

restlessness, always moving and cannot stay still, as well as

talking excessively. However, it is not nearly as common as it

should be due to a misdiagnosis, environmental factors, and

medical science deeming everything as a mental disorder.

In those cases, we need to look much harder for what is causing

the behavior, not how to treat the symptoms of the behavior. If
