what is up ladies and gentlemen boys and girls it is Zulo back with another

Absolver video this time we're going to be doing a windfall guide to help you

guys get started in the game without further ado let's get this thing started

start things off we should first go over what it means to start as the windfall

class the students of the windfall combat-style will have a greater

dexterity and will they can avoid enemy attacks leaving the enemies open to a

powerful counter but that being said I would recommend spending attributes on

dexterity and strength to start but always keep an eye on the soft caps of

the skills you are ranking up a soft cap on a scale can be described as when you

start to get a lesser skill bonus per Attribution point spent now that you

know what it means to start as the windfall class what should you base your

fighting style off of in the beginning of course I wanted to max out my damage

on all my attacks to make my character really strong but quickly found out that

the way I most enjoy playing the windfall class is with fast combos and

the ability to punish mistakes now most of my moves are not heavy attacks but

can still be devastating when used in succession making combos quicker can be

done by correctly timing the next sequence of your attack right as this

little meteor turns gold but alone fast combos will not get you very far this

being that you must also take moments to slow your combo down so your opponent

can't read your next move but also be ready to dodge in the right direction if

they do so happen to attack if they do attack and you time your dodge correctly you'll

be given a boost and you'll be rewarded with a fraction

of a second to punish your enemy sometimes with multiple hits

but your windfall why so

much gear? Gear's for blunt and cut protection I mainly focus on blunt

protection because you rarely see swords in PvP but it also reduces the mobility

on your character which in turn affects only your movement speed and stamina and

not attack speed but remember stamina is very important also being heavily geared as

windfall will affect your damage output and only decreasing it more as you equip

more items so find works best for you I currently sit at around 20 to 24

mobility depending on if I'm doing combat trials or not and at around 80 to

85 damage output via my deck list why are you so weak? my deck list as I stated

before is built around punishing mistakes in doing this I use the quicker attack so

I can get more hits in after each successful dodge has been made allowing

me to punish my enemy a lot more than if I base my deck off damage output where I

could maybe only get one hit in before they could block the next incoming

attack and that is going to conclude my beginner's guide to playing as the

windfall class if you enjoyed make sure you hit that like button because it does

help me out a ton and maybe even consider checking out my other Absolver

content and until next time take it easy peace

Social Class & Poverty in the US: Crash Course Sociology #24 - Duration: 9:24.

Social Class in America can be hard to talk about.

And not just because you may find it awkward to discuss who's poor and who's rich, or who has more power and who has less.

As sociologists, the difficulty for us is in pinning down exactly what we mean by social class.

There isn't just one definition of it, and the definition you use will depend on what society you're interested in.

If we go by Marx's definition, we have two classes: the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production, and the proletariat, who do the labor.

But this might be too simplistic for our world.

If you own a small store, and you work there, which category do you belong in?

Your day-to-day life probably looks more like that of a retail employee than that of a CEO.

But Marx would put you in the bourgeoisie, because you own a business and hire workers.

So let's try another definition, one that's more in the tradition of our old friend Max Weber.

His theories were more about what kinds of opportunities a person's class gives them.

The owner of a big company has different opportunities than the owner of a small shop.

But they'll both have different resources available to them than someone who manages an office, or somebody who works at a factory.

So in this case, a social class can be defined as a group that's fairly similar in terms of income, education, power, and prestige in society.

And we can use this definition to better understand the social classes that make up society in the United States,

and it can help us to answer some of the questions they raise.

Like, is there more than one kind of upper class?

How can the middle class fit everyone who thinks they belong in it?

And what does poverty in America really look like?

[Theme Music]

Broadly speaking, American society can be split into five social classes:

upper class, upper middle class, average middle class, working class, and lower class

The upper class consists essentially of the capitalists in Marx's system.

This is the top of the income and wealth distribution – those who earn at least $250,000/year and control much of the country's wealth.

And as we learned last week – money talks.

This group tends to wield a lot of political and social power.

But within the upper class, there are sub classes that distinguish, by and large, between old money and new money.

The upper-upper class includes those who derive their wealth from inheritance rather than work.

People in this class may have jobs, but usually they take on more honorary positions such as board members or heading up philanthropic organizations.

But there's also a large part of the upper class whose wealth came from work.

Most of those we think of as wealthy – the Bill Gates, Oprah Winfreys, and Kanye West's of the world – fall into this group.

After upper class comes the middle class.

Remember awhile back when we talked about how almost every American thinks that they're middle class?

That's way too many people to fit into the middle, which is why sociologists split the mid-range of the income distribution into three groups.

Upper middle class families typically have incomes between $115,000 and $250,000 per year and make up about 15% of income earners.

About 2/3 of the adults here have college degrees – and many have post-graduate degrees.

It's almost a given that their kids will attend college when they grow up.

Adults in this sector tend to have jobs that are considered prestigious – doctors, lawyers, engineers, and the like.

Their families typically own homes in good school districts, and are able to afford luxuries, like travel and multiple vehicles.

And it may not surprise you to learn that they're wealthy, at least compared to most Americans.

This group is likely to have wealth from their home, strong 401Ks, and financial investments.

Now, families in the so-called average middle class make between $50,000 and $115,000 and make up about 35% of income earners.

Keep in mind, the median family income in the US is $70,700.

So families in this group still tend to own their own homes, but the mortgages might be more cumbersome.

And they have some wealth, usually tied up in their home or a modest retirement savings account.

About half of this group is college-educated, though they're more likely to have attended public universities than private schools.

And average middle class jobs are typically so-called white collar jobs – think office workers, teachers, middle-managers.

In contrast, most blue-collar workers, or those whose work is primarily based in manual labor, fall into the lower-middle class.

About 30 percent of Americans are in this category, with incomes ranging from about 25 to 50 thousand dollars a year.

Lower middle class families are less likely to own their own homes and typically hold little to no wealth.

The most defining feature of this social class is the type of jobs that are associated with it –

namely, manual labor, which is why it's often referred to as the working class.

Factory work, construction, manufacturing, maintenance work – all of these jobs generally fall under working class occupations.

And while some working class jobs require technical skills, they don't usually require a college education.

It's important to note that working class jobs are more sensitive to how the economy is doing, because these jobs tend to be built around making stuff.

When a recession hits, factories need fewer workers to meet demands.

Or the plant's owners might decide that it's cheaper to use machines rather than workers to produce their goods.

And just as vulnerable to economic downturns, if not more so, is the lower class.

Lower class Americans are blue-collar workers at the bottom of the income distribution.

They make less than $25,000 a year and tend to work hourly jobs that are part-time, with unpredictable schedules and no benefits, like health insurance or pensions.

About 20% of Americans, or the bottom quintile, fall into this group.

The majority of these families don't own their own homes and are more likely to live in neighborhoods with higher rates of poverty,

lower quality school districts, and higher crime rates.

In contrast to an upper-middle class family, whose children are likely to go to college,

only 9% of children born in the bottom income quartile complete a four-year college degree.

And the lower class also includes many Americans who are living in poverty.

The US government sets an income benchmark called the federal poverty level,

a threshold that's used, in part, to determine who's eligible for public assistance programs, like food stamps or help with health care.

As of 2017, the federal poverty level for a family of four is $24,600.

And 13.5% of Americans live in households below that.

The government arrives at this figure by estimating the minimum annual pre-tax income that's needed to pay food, shelter, transportation, and clothing costs for a given household size.

Of course, what's poor in the United States won't be the same as in another country

– the US federal poverty line is a measure of relative poverty, based on a standard of living in the US.

Relative poverty is used to describe a lack of resources compared to others who have more.

But absolute poverty is a lack of resources that threatens your ability to survive.

The federal poverty level gives us an indicator for which Americans have the fewest resources and lets us examine trends in groups that are the most economically vulnerable.

For example, groups that can't work, like children, the severely disabled, and the frail elderly, are particularly vulnerable to poverty.

But many working Americans are vulnerable to poverty, too – 12% of working-age adults in poverty work full-time, and another 29% work part time.

These are the working poor.

You can see how it's quite possible to work full time and still live in poverty, when you do the math.

The federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 per hour.

A 40 hour work week for 50 weeks a year would net an income of $14,500, which is well below the poverty line for a family of four.

It's hard enough to pull yourself out of poverty on a low-wage income, which is partly why more than half of families in poverty are headed by single mothers.

Higher rates of poverty among women, known as the feminization of poverty,

is related to the increasing number of women who are raising children on their own, and who work low-wage jobs.

But in addition to gender, you can also can look at poverty by race.

Contrary to popular belief, most poor Americans are not Black; in fact, two-thirds of the poor in the US are white.

Black Americans are, however, more likely to be poor than white Americans:

24.1% of Black Americans, who make up about 13% of the total American population, were living in poverty in 2015.

Compare that to 11.6% of white Americans, who make up about 77% of the total population.

Now, the causes of poverty are many.

And it's not easy to understand why some groups are more vulnerable than others.

America likes to think of itself as a nation that values self-reliance, where anyone can succeed.

And this view is partly why some argue that poverty is the result of an individual's own failings, or of certain cultural attitudes.

One of the most famous proponents of this idea was Daniel Patrick Moynihan –

former US senator, ambassador to the United Nations, and, by trade, a sociologist.

A report he wrote while Secretary of Labor in the Kennedy administration, known as the Moynihan report,

blamed high rates of poverty among African Americans not on a lack of economic opportunity,

but on cultural factors in the Black community, like high rates of birth outside of marriage.

By contrast, American sociologist William Julius Wilson – who you might remember from episode 7 – has provided a counter to this idea.

Wilson has documented how Black Americans are much more likely to face institutional barriers to achieving economic success,

and are more likely to live in areas where jobs are scarce.

He argues that in order to understand poverty, we have to look at wider economic and social structures, as well as the history and culture of racism in the U.S.

Next week, we'll talk more about how social class structures affects how Americans live their lives.

But for now, you learned about the five different social classes in the United States:

the upper class, the upper middle class, the average middle class, the working class, and the lower class.

And we discussed what poverty looks like in the United States.

DCS: F-5 Tiger II - Laser Bombs GBU-12 - #13 Tutorial - English Subtitles - Duration: 14:06.

Do not forget subscribe and hit the bell

hi and welcome to revientor reborn, this an F-5 in DCSw speaking about GBU-12 laser booms

how to use them with this plane

I will deploy them at 20000 feet or 10000 feet because I thins that values are more realistic when using this type of booms

in this modern era, in a old era I will use rocket not laser booms

think there are SAMs that can fire at you, at those altitudes you are avoiding some of them

I speak about this because the manual only say at 3000 feet at 450 knots you have the target between the camera and the cannons

is when you can release the boom because that one will find the laser spot

first of all is speak with the JTAC

with a human will be easier because you will have more references an more fluid conversation

but with the AI is limited to the options

this is not a tutorial how to use the JTAC, just the basic to release the boom

look here in this line, the altitude MSL , you will have to write down the coordenates

by laser and the laser code is selected in the mission editor

or when the plane is on ground and off

about the coordinates I want to show to you how to find them

there is a lot of squares with letters

here is the coordinate GG

in GG you found GG and some numbers

here is GG23, the coordinates are GG221360 the first number is the also the first number in the map

then the other next 2 numbers are thinking in that horizontal line divided in 100 parts , the part selected

with the same but in vertical with the other 3 numbers

and you find where the target is

now her know where to go, or speaking with a human he can tell us where to go

first is to see physically the target using the binoculars on cokpit

ther I am seeing some tracers

we continue with the jtac, until get the activate laser command

copy all

ok

we are already in inbound because we know where the target is

let keep the target on the left to perform a strike like other boom, the same

the configuration is also like other boom, you can see my last tutorials about that

do not forget to select the station of the boom

the laser boom normally are released one by one

there is the target

the idea is from A20, keep that elevation, 350 knots

as much the target is beside of the lateral of the ckpit, the better

this lateral

we are almost in parameters

now I will speak about the references to drop the boom

I have 3 references 5000 feet, 10000 feet and 20000 feet

we are now in parameters, I will pause

that is the reference for 10000 feets

the 3 references that I have if for 5000 feet

10000 this one

and 20000, in the vertical of this red thing

the target is beside "me", now I am at the reference of 10000 feet, because I am at 20000 this is nor valid, but in A10 this will be perfect

and the table of the beginning of the video, will be as must be

the same with the reference of A10, this two references A5 and A10 are lateral references, the A20 is vertical

last checks

I can now ask to activate laser, lets see the strike at A20

at 20000, befor the target arrive I have to start the maneuvre

now I can start turning

I ask for laser on and meanwhile I move the plane to get the target in front

now I drop the boom and I get out of the area

be careful because now the plane will make weird movement due the different drag between the wings

let´s see the boom

there is the boom and looks it is following the laser spot

It´s a 45º dive for the boom is not bad, and the speed is raising, this one will hit the target

in real life that angle may be could give us some headcheck, because the boom do not hit properly

in DCS the booms always impact at first hit with the ground or target

in real life the boom can bounce

tahr is the hardest mark, but as you see it´s possible, higher altitude will be more difficult but possible

you can investigate more marks, as simple as get the distance of the target, and look for the distance that the manual says

you can also drop a booms in loft , but that require too much briefing, it´s performed as the manual says

there is no ret depression or visual way to get the correct distance, because you are near the ground, there is no references,

you have to pop up at 4nm from the target, with 500 feet 400 knots, afterburner when you pop up, a pitch of 30º

ant 2500 feet you release the boom, and the you leave the area

there is no a visual reference, like at this strike that I just perform

you can do it laterally as always but if you turn and pop up, you have to do it quickly to keep that 4nm

the easy briefing is from the map, get the distance of 4nk and look for that land mark, a lake, airfield, city.....

from that lake before arriving the lake I Perform the maneuver

you can do it also with tacan

the radial 200º at 2nm you pop up and drop the boom

remember the references 5000 feet, 10000 and 20000

good enough to strike a target

remember if the AI is the JTAC online all the booms will follow the same laser spot if the laser code is not different, do not shoot all the flight at same time

finally I Hope you learned all, subscribe, give me your feedback and be happy

Trump Interview Right After 9/11 Shows The Truth | Top Stories Today - Duration: 4:16.

After the terrorist attacks on 9/11, we were stunned,

there is no doubt about that.

A recently uncovered interview of now-President Trump from back in 2001 shows a side of him

that the Democrats don't want anyone to see.

The interview took place just two days after the attacks.

Smoke was still billowing out from Lower Manhattan, and the smell of soot and ash was in the air.

It was here that Trump vowed that now, the goal is to find survivors from that fateful

day.

He didn't stop there, he then went on to talk about what America needs

to do next, "It's like a

whole

different city and world," Trump reflected.

Why is GERMANY such an INDUSTRIAL LEADER? – VisualPolitik EN - Duration: 12:04.

Ahhh Germany.

It's the place where BMW, Ramstein, and FKK (nudist) culture, and BMW cars were born.

Nevertheless, Germany has something even more important than all of that and that is that

it is the world's ultimate factory.

Yep, you heard that right… and I know what you are thinking…

"Isn't China the country where TV screens, mobile phones and, practically, every good

we buy is made?"

Well, that's not entirely true.

Now, of course, China does lead the charge when it comes to exports.

But… do you know what?

In order to manufacture all those products, they need to import a lot of things from abroad.

Germany, instead, sells way more that what it buys.

In fact, 1 of every 10 products sold on the international market is made in this country

which has a population 15 times smaller than China.

Yes, we all know those big car companies: BMW, Audi or VOLKSWAGEN…

But there is way more than that!

Don't you believe me?

Well, consider you mobile phone.

Sure, I know it says right there 'Assembled in the People's Republic of China' or

something similar.

But, and I'm not recommending this, but if you did open it up you are going to find

a lot of microchips…

As an example here , the little chip that makes your screen rotate when you move the

phone is made, most likely, by a German company called BOSCH SENSORTECH.

But not only that!

Many of the robots used inside these Chinese factories assembling the phones are probably

made in Germany.

In other words, in Germany, they manufacture the things that go inside of the things manufactured

by others.

And now you might be wondering…

How is that possible?

Factories should be built in places with cheap labour costs, right?

I mean how is that possible that Germany, with relatively high salaries, is such an

industrial powerhouse?

Well, today, we are going to answer that question.

But before we do, let's take a look back at history...

ORDOLIBERALISM

After World War II, Europe was pretty darn destroyed.

Countries like Italy, France and Western Germany (which was the capitalist side of Germany),

got a massive money grant from their beloved friend, Uncle Sam.

But wait a minute because each of those countries used that money in really different ways!

The French president, for instance, was this guy you see on the screen.

General Charles de Gaulle.

De Gaulle came from the military and was no friend of private companies.

His political creed, the so-called DIRIGISME, was about nationalizing big businesses and

leading the whole country's economy as if it was an army!

In Western Germany they choose a different path...

Both the Chancellor KONRAD ADENAUER and his finance minister, LUDWIG ERHARD, spent years

thinking about their own economic system.

A mixture between the competition of free market capitalism and the safety net provided

by the government.

Then they decided to give this system the worst name ever...

They called it ORDOLIBERALISM or SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY.

"Competition is the most promising means to achieve and secure prosperity"—Ludwig

Erhard

In other words…

While De Gaulle centralized the economy in Paris, Konrad Adenauer designed a system where

the government would put into place a set of conditions, but the other players would

make their own decisions.

This explains why in Germany, trade unions, regional governments and, of course, companies,

are so important.

And now you might be wondering…

What are the keys for that system to work?

And has it really worked out?

Well let's get right into that.

AN STABLE CURRENCY

I'm pretty sure you've heard at some point some economist saying that devaluing a currency

boosts exports, right?

For instance, imagine we have a shoe manufacturing facility in Mexico and we want to sell a pair

of shoes to the American market.

Let's say, the price for those shoes is 2000 Mexican Pesos.

At the time we are making this video those 200 pesos equal to 110 USD.

But let's say that, all of a sudden, the Mexican Central Bank decides to print money

and, therefore, devalue its currency.

From one day to the next, that pair of shoes could be worth 90 USD.

Therefore, it would be easier to sell it abroad.

This is a theory supported by most governments today.

Nevertheless, the German Government did exactly the opposite.

During the second half of the 20th century the GERMAN MARK became one of the most stable

currency on the planet.

And this might lead you to wonder…

How is it possible that Germany could export so much when their products are not that cheap?

Well… let's get back to the shoes example.

But this time I'm going to tell you the story of a real company.

This is a company from the North of Germany and it's called DESMA.

It is a SME with around 200 staff.

They started out right after the war in 1946, and they specialized in making machines for

shoe manufacturing.

In order to do this, they needed to import lots of machines from the United States.

Thanks to having a stable currency, the price for importing those machines was relatively

low.

They decided to rent a facility - at the end of the day, since there was no inflation,

rents would not go up, and they could calculate the future cost reliably.

But not only that!

Since German companies couldn't offer lower prices, DESMA had to innovate.

In 1960, they invested in state of the art technologies to manufacture rubber-made soles.

Ten years later, DESMA was the world leader in machines to make PVC soles.

It's likely that the sole of the shoes you are wearing today was made with a DESMA machine.

This company, with 200 staff, sells to every country in the world... including China.

And this is just one example of the thousands of small and medium sized companies, the so-called

MITTELSTAND, that made up Germany.

And yes, I know, I know...

In 2002, the Germans abandoned the Mark and adopted the EURO as their currency.

But think about it… while other countries like Spain were using weaker currencies before,

Germany had had a strong currency for decades.

That means, that in 2002, German companies were already more competitive than anyone

else's.

But hold on a minute because there are many other things that can explain the success

of the German model, so let's dig into those now.

THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

I know what you are going to say now…

Come on, Simon!

Germany isn't really famous for its educational system!

Just check out the PISA report...

Germany is not even in the top 10!

But then again, German students can find a job right after they finish their studies.

So, why is this?

Well, the the answer is in their vocational training system.

Let's imagine that you are high school student in Germany and you don't want to go to university.

So instead you study to become a plumber.

Well… from the first moment, you are already working for a company which has an arrangement

with the school.

This means, from Monday to Wednesday, you go to a classroom and from Thursday to Friday,

you go the company's workshop.

There, you would be trained by the experience plumbers and you would even get a small salary

of between 300 or 500 dollars a month.

And this salary is pretty important...

The simple fact that the company is paying means the employer has to make the students

work.

Otherwise, the firm will be throwing money away...

And the outcome of this is that German students know how it is to be in a real life working

environment.

In fact, many of them remain in the company where they did their training.

And, of course, those German firms, in exchange, get well trained workers.

And now that we are talking about workers, let's talk about another key piece on the

German system...

GERMAN TRADE UNIONS

In other countries like France or Spain, most of the labour laws are made by parliament.

But not so in Germany.

Until 2015, Germans didn't even have a minimum wage...

Salaries were negotiated by trade unions and employers.

In Germany, syndicates are extremely important.

Actually, those big companies like AUDI or BMW, with more than 2000 workers, are required

to have union representatives on their administrative board.

Consider this: Siemens has 10 shareholder representatives on their board and, therefore,

they must have 10 people representing the workers!

Remember this one because it makes a big difference!

In Spain, for instance, a big company like TELEFONICA has no trade union representatives

on their board of administration.

Trade unions can only participate in another body called the "company council".

And they can only speak about matters that affect salaries or working conditions.

By contrast, in Germany, trade unions have a voice on every decision the company makes.

When SIEMENS wants to start operating in a new market, or launch a new product, they

have to ask the shareholders… and the trade unions.

And now you might be wondering…

Is this just bad news for the companies?

We pretty much take for granted that unions are the enemy of a company, right?

Well, it doesn't have to be that way...

Think about it.

Thanks to this set up, SIEMENS and BMW workers know whether if the company is making or losing

money.

And, of course, when things are going bad for the company, they can make compromises,

like reducing their working hours instead of being fired.

"Opel to cut working hours at German facilities"

This explains why during the financial crisis of 2008, German companies didn't fire a

large number of people.

And this is good for the workers and the company.

But wait a minute because I know what you are thinking!

Those German trade unions are collaborating with big capitalists in order to exploit the

workers!

Right?

Right?

Well… the answer there is certainly NO.

The reality is that average wage in Germany is around $3,400 dollars a month.

That's higher than the state of New York!

And that's in a country with a pretty affordable cost of living.

A flat in Berlin is half the price of a flat in New York City.

And despite all of this Germany maintains its position as the third biggest country

when it comes to exports.

So now the question is…

Do you believe your country could benefit from the German model?

Or perhaps you think these policies are impossible to implement elsewhere?

Hmm, okay, I'm gonna get the heck out of here.

Dennis Quaid's legs

what a day I have had here in Salt Lake City.

I never did kiss any Marmons

but at least I found some good grass.

It even was the best day of my whole life.
