Greetings Earthlings!

Welcome to the MadQueen Show!

I am your host the MadQueen

On today's menu, we have a new Cyberpunk 2077 lore video for you, and today we're

going to talk about the Megacorporations

There is a new jungle

It's a living thing, thriving in an environment where most other organisms would wither and perish

It is a canopy of glass and steel, rising from black ground fertilized with the dust

of a collapsed age, It is populated by only one kind of animal: a chameleon creature,

rapacious and predatory

Corporations

Shadowy monoliths of the Cyberpunk world, using their immense wealth and merciless power

to control nations, governments, and criminal organizations

From their towering skyscraper headquarters, the Corporate Elite engage in hostile takeovers,

deadly power plays and crushing betrayals

They're the heavy hitters in a vicious world; a world where Big Business meets Big Brother

for the best two out of three

The corporate world is a world of deception, murder, and intrigue

Welcome to the corporate world of 2077

After the world stock market crash

and the subsequent self-destructions and collapse

of many economies and governments across the world, including the United States, there

was only one type of organization with the ability to exert power on a global scale:

the international corporation

Of course, the collapse was a disaster for most companies, and many went under along

with the national economies, but it also acted as a kind of purge, with the strongest conglomerates

surviving, feeding on the fallen

Those companies that made it through those tumultuous years reaped unexpected benefits

With most national governments irreparably enfeebled, and much of the commercial competition

obliterated, the surviving corporations were left to fill a huge power vacuum

As you can guess, there was some disagreement between the surviving corporations as to how

to divide the spoils of survival amongst themselves

The result was a series of wars, known as the Corporate Wars, that erupted as each corporation

attempted to destroy its competition physically and economically, and concentrate as much

power as possible in their own hands

Smaller conflicts, covert and overt, continue to this day, with full-scale war threatening

to resurface at any time

While most aspects of corporate competition remain on the economic level, there are instances

where it moves into the arena of actual warfare

While these are not declared wars per se, they have all the aspects of the real thing

as missiles, armored vehicles, jet aircrafts, and cyber-enhanced group troops are brought into play

By its very nature, a corporate war must be covert, a very few nations are willing to

allow two companies to "duke it out" in their soil, Early on, most corporations hired

actual terrorist groups to strike at enemy targets, As these groups became more undependable,

the companies began to actually create battle forces disguised to resemble terrorists

Many terrorist groups such as the infamous Red Flag Army and the New Aryan Sons are actually

fully equipped corporate strike forces, whose seemingly random attacks of rival offices

and strongholds are part of larger covert warfare action

A corporate war never lasts longer than necessary, if combat activity becomes noticeable, there

is too great a chance of government intervention

While no corporate army is yet powerful enough to challenge a major government directly,

there are already reports of smaller nations who have capitulated to the power of the business armies

But, don't worry, Megacorporations have other ways to challenge major governments

that have nothing to see with armies and weapons

The development of new technologies and world situations during the nineties also made the

post-crash period a key time for new companies to develop

Venture capital was scarce in the wake of economic upheaval, but there were still enough

investors around who had survived the collapse, and even played it to their advantage, to

pump funds into new promising, infant industries such as cybertechnology, biotech, independent

military contracting and technology, artificial intelligence, virtual intelligence and nan-tech

and so on

The general economic confusion of the years 1994 to 2016 was increased as these new companies

incorporated, and attempted to establish footholds and stake their claim in the new order

The Third Corporate War, when corporations fought over power, information and access

in the net, was the last great shakeup in the world commercial hierarchy

Those corporations which couldn't use or compete in the Net have evaporated or been

consumed by their more adaptable rivals

In the wake of that was, came the power structure and world situation you already know

Well folks, thanks for watching, don't forget to watch the video about corporates and megacorporations

to know more about the power that rules the world of 2077

See you in next videos and stay being amazing

Difference between ASTROLOGY and ASTRONOMY | Singularity - Duration: 21:25.

Hi guys beauty? here who speaks is the Vini of the Channel Singularity

And this is the sixth video of our mini course on astronomy

In this video we will see the difference between Astronomy and Astrology

That are very similar terms, but are totally different things

In this video I'll be explaining this difference

And explaining why astrology is not a science and why it is wrong

If you believe in astrology and disagree with some argument...

Comment on the comments for us to discuss these ideas

But without bullshit and education

(Introduction)

Astrology is a pseudoscience

That is, it presents itself as scientific but does not support the

She lacks evidence

It says that the relative position of the stars at the time of their birth

Influence strongly your personality

Astrology believes in horoscopes, zodiac signs, astral maps etc.

Astrology and astronomy have long been basically the same thing

The last astrologer and first astronomer was Johannes Kepler

The creator of the three laws of planetary motion

He demystified the heavens with his mathematical laws, and thus astronomy separated from astrology

Cláudio Ptolemeu, creator of the geocentric model

I believed piously in Astrology

He not only believed in the influence of the stars, he believed

He also believed that influence on physical characteristics

So if Saturn were closer to Earth

You would have a different hair and these things

But there were older astronomers such as: Tales of Miletus, Aristotle among others

But why did the ancient peoples have so much interest in understanding the stars?

Previously, there was only natural light and no pollution

Then the skies were incredibly starry

Ancient hunter-gatherers

They looked at the sky as it was incredibly beautiful

But not only for this

Some old people realized that there was a regularity

A periodicity in the stars

The stars were always born in the west and set in the east.

When a certain constellation appeared

It meant that a new season of the year was coming

Then observing the constellations it was possible to know:

When to harvest, plant and hunt

The stars served as a calendar

Whether or not it was a matter of life and death

Understand the omens of the sky

The hunter-gatherers who did not perceive these regularities

They did not transmit their gene and did not reproduce

That is, a natural selection occurred

That only the hunter-gatherers who made these connections with the heavens

They survived

I do not know if that's exactly it

But it seems that this idea was so rooted in us

That to this day we believe that the stars influence our lives

Have you noticed how easy it is to find a magazine about astrology?

Virtually every newspaper in the United States has a daily column on Astrology

And almost none of them have a monthly Astronomy column

I did it by doing an experiment done by Carl Sagan in 1980

In which he shows that astrologers do not agree with each other

And apparently 38 years have passed and nothing has changed

This is the newspaper The City on January 10, 2018

Here in the area of horoscopes, since I was born on October 31, 2003

My Sign: Scorpio

According to the horoscopes I would have highlights at work

(Quick Voice) I would impress people on job interviews

If I had unresolved issues I could try

It would be a good day to seek dialogue and a perfect tuning of the novel.

It is rather vague, but if we take another different horoscope...

The horoscope of Terra's site, published on the same day

He says that my sign would have a day of intense movement...

And redoubled optimism

I could have had good news

Either way, it would be a good time for personal growth

And professional

Both horoscopes are very vague

The problem is that they are different

If you take a large sampling of websites and magazines

And select a day and pick up several horoscopes of the same sign

You will realize that they are different

The more sites you search for the horoscope of your sign

But you will realize

That they are different from each other

I'm going to put some some pictures

From the horoscope of January 10, from the scorpion sign

If astrology were really a science

Everyone should agree with each other

and also if they were scientists they would not be so lazy

To the point of being in any person and any day

They would make an accurate forecast

Astrology can be tested in the lives of twins

There are several real cases like this:

A twin is killed in childhood by a bicycle accident or by lightning

But the other has a healthy life until the velice

Suppose...

This has happened to me

My twin brother and I

We are born exactly in the same place and day

Within minutes of each other

Exactly the same planets would be influencing

If astrology were valid

How can we have destinations so profoundly different

It turns out that astrologers do not even agree with each other on astrological predictions

They are unethical to predict character and the future, using only the hour of birth

Pseudosciences sell a lot, newspapers, books, lectures, etc.

Even if astrology is two thousand years old

She can not prove any evidence of her allegations

There is much maternal about astrology

But you'll never find a serious scientific article about it.

Even if our society is based entirely on science and technology

There are very few people who understand science and technology

Some arguments of why astrology is valid

They are easily rebutted with basic science

But as I showed in the video '' The Importance of Scientific Disclosure ''

Our society is totally illiterate in these terms

Now let's go to the claims of why astrology is valid

The most common would be the gravitational influence of planets

But those who have studied theoretical physics...

Do you know that from the moment

That I take my cell phone

My muscle is managing to fight against all the gravity of the Earth.

Gravity is the weakest force in the whole universe.

We tend to think that gravity is a powerful force

After all it is the force that is pulling me right to this edge

But, compared to electromagnetism, it is extremely weak

In fact, there is a very simple test to demonstrate this

Imagine that I was going to jump out of this very hard building

Not only will we imagine this

Let's do this, you'll see what I mean

Well, of course I would have crashed

But the important question is

What keeps me from repenting the sidewalk and reaching the center of the earth

Strange as it may seem, it is electromagnetism

So when my atoms collide with the atoms in the concrete

The charges repulse so hard

That only a small piece of sidewalk, can withstand all the gravitational force of the Earth

And keep me from falling

In fact, the electromagnetic force is billions and billions of times stronger than gravity

This means that gravity is an extremely weak force

Still if you consider that the object is too far away

For example, consider the gravitational force of Saturn

It does not make sense because Saturn is extremely distant

Even though it has a very large mass it is very far

And as we saw in the video '' what is gravity ''

Gravity is inversely proportional to distance

So the more distant, the less gravity

The gravity that this cell generates

Influence far more than the gravity of Saturn

Then at the time of your birth

The gravitational influence of the physician

It will be much stronger than any planet

And also, how could this work?

As the birth of Mars at the time of my birth, can you influence me at that time and now?

I was born in an enclosed room, the light from Mars could not enter

The only influence that could affect me would be its severity

But the doctor's gravitational influence was much greater than Mars

Mars is so much bigger

But the doctor was much closer

Another influence would be the electromagnetism

That is, the force of the magnets and the rays

If this were really valid

It would be very important to mention that at the time of your birth

There was a rain with lightning or not

When a lightning strikes the surface of the Earth

It causes a change in the electromagnetic field

The sun has several electromagnetic fields

Due to the large amount of plasma, sunspots at last

These fields are extremely complicated

Even though planets and stars have electromagnetic fields

It does not make sense to think that this would influence

Because even an electromagnetic radiation like the sun's UV rays

Atigissem my D.N.A

They would cause radioactive radiation

So it is extremely unlikely if not impossible

That a mutation of this I can influence in my personality

And sometimes astrologers forget

That magnetic fields and electric fields are one and the same thing

Are the same thing

Clair Maxwell a few centuries ago, realized that these two forces are the same thing

What is the electromagnetic field

That is, these fields would cause electromagnetic radiation

The only problem is that for example:

Phones, internet, satellites, GPS etc.

All operate on the basis of electromagnetic radiation

They emit radio waves

What is a different length of light that we can not see

But it is manifestation of this electromagnetic field

The microwaves work from this radiation

So it would be much more interesting

You see how many people were using Facebook at the time of your birth

Than to see the position of Jupiter

But if an astrologist says he really has influence

Ask him to do a scientific paper on biochemistry

and describe how this works

Recently astronomy revealed

That the Sun goes through 13 constellations than 12

This means that there was to be another sign of the zodiac

The problem of this discovery

This would imply in the change of horoscopes, astral maps and signs

A person who is believed to be a pound, would change his or her sign according to this discovery

This would make your excuse to have a certain personality

It did not make sense because your sign could be different

I'll put it on the screen now

The true sign that was for you to have

Perhaps you are now the Serpentary sign

But as astrology is not a science

She denies this and proves her lack of evidence

Astrology was created at a time when we knew almost nothing about astronomy

So if astrology were really valid

It would have to take into account the new astronomical discoveries

As for example, the influence of gravitational waves

Gamma rays of black holes

The magnetic fields of the magnetars

The cosmic background radiation

The true distance between the stars and the planets

Matter and Dark Energy

The scientist would be to take every influence

And from that mount new sign and horoscopes

The problem is that this would be extremely complicated

Because the sky is full of cosmic events

A supernova may explode at the time of its birth

This would emit an electromagnetic radiation

Which according to the astrologers was to influence

Quasars emit gamma rays, which is electromagnetic radiation

Magnetares have strong magnetic fields

And according to astrologers was to influence

If, for example, two neutron stars or two black holes collided

They would generate gravitational waves

That is a manifestation of gravity, so it was to influence

It would be an extremely complex system of influences

Several tests have already been performed with several people

To see if your signs clash with your personality

The problem is that this adjustment is around 8%

8 equals 100 divided by 12

That is, 8% accuracy is the same probability of a kick

Other tests were also carried out, showing how vague the horoscopes are

That many people who are not of the sign identify with it

But then if we have so much evidence of astrology being a fraud

Why are there people who believe in it?

It's quite simple, it gives a cosmic meaning to our daily lives

A feeling of belonging to something greater, of being spices

The problem is that if this is the real reason people believe

This is extremely wrong.

Astronomy has proven that the solar system came from a nebula

A nebula is the dust of the stars.

So we are literally the dust of the stars.

We are made literally from the same material as stars

So, this is a cosmic connection

It is a much stronger bond than astrology promises

If you have been curious

See the video '' What are the stars? '' And '' Stellar life cycle ''

Guys, one thing I forgot though is very important.

It's that the stars are at enormous distances

So... since the speed of light is finite

Some stars might even exist

And what we see are ghost stars that no longer exist

So it would be complicated an influence like that

And there is also a probability question in astrology

If we consider that there are 7.2 billion people

It would be extremely unlikely

Let people not identify with their signs and horoscopes

For example, think from 1 to 5

Did you think about number 3?

Probably someone who is watching this video

You're scared of my abilities.

But in fact, this is just statistics.

About 100 people watched this video

And if you consider that you had 5 options

Probability is 20% for me to hit your number

So that's it, big numbers generate big numbers

Probability shows, that any kick with big numbers...

Can you hit the personality of several people

And even if you consider ascending signs

The odds are lower, but still very large.

Another argument would be the principle of synchronicity

The idea is that if you think about something

Things turned to you

This seems to work due to confirmation

The confirmation vows is just to remember things that confirm your idea

For example, you have dozens of friends

And very few identify with their signs

But how do you want to believe in astrology?

You will only remember the friends who hit your signs

For example if you believe in horoscopes

You will forget the times horoscopes err

And just remember the times that they hit

The principle of synchronicity widely used in numerology

What is the idea that numbers have meant

For example, your video will be full of numbers 8

It will seem that your day really only has 8 numbers

Because all the different numbers you will forget

You will only remember the numbers 8

And forget about all the other numbers you saw

A very important thing to sitar

Imagine you start studying astrology

And you begin to believe in the principle of synchronicity

Facebook, Youtube, Twitter. All social networks

They are made of algorithms

They recommend what you most search for

Have you noticed that when you buy a shirt from an online store

After a while these shirts appear on your facebook

This happens because of this algorithm

For example, the home page of my Youtube

It's full of science videos, because I'm looking for science

But for example, if you start to '' study '' astrology

Youtube will only recommend astrology videos

The same thing happens in other social networks

You would start tanning astrology pages, astrology videos...

And when you stop to think

You would be in a social bubble in which everyone agrees with you.

And there is no contrary argument

For example some astronomer

So that's it, the principle of synchronicity

It happens basically because of the confirmation bias

And by the social bubbles that social network algorithms currently create

So this is personal, this is astrology

It is a popular belief that is totally wrong scientifically

Beliefs need not be science-based

But if you want your belief to be a science

You have to use the scientific method

You can not just claim that this is a science

You have to prove

Create a pseudoscience like astrology

It is a serious risk to scientific thinking

This can generate people who believe in flat land, atlantida and that vaccines are a fraud

Many countries have problems with illness due to misticos

Who do not take vaccine

Spreading science is not only educational

This helps society a lot

For example: you might have gotten sick because of mystics who did not take vaccines

And let the disease spread

What is astronomy?

Astronomy is a branch of science that studies the stars

She studies planets, stars, black holes, neutron stars, supernova, nebulae at last.

She uses science to support her claims

She observation of probes, telescopes, radio telescopes at any rate

After 500 years she has separated from astrology

We stopped looking at the telescope

And we left our first footprint on the moon.

'' It's a small step for a man ..

But a giant leap for mankind '' - Neil Armstrong

Astronomy is always evolving

The astronomy of 50 years ago was very different from today

Astronomy is based on the scientific method

Even if a well-accepted theory is wrong

It will be discarded

Véronique Mula "Migrante" - Duration: 6:54.

Why "Migrante"?

It was connected at first glance by the news, but not only.

I realized that in fact it was much deeper than that,

It was linked to my own story. I'm the result of migrations.

My grandparents were Italian and Spanish,

they fled the dictatorship and the famine.

So, I felt the need to translate that in my music,

with a project which had to be called "Migrant"

I went to live my music in Mali (in Africa),

in New Orleans (USA), as well as in the Balkans.

I felt the need to feed myself, to grow and to share,

to meet other cultures, other music, other notes, other languages.

This migration forced itself upon me.

When I met Carl Bouchaux and Jean-Christophe Gautier

and when I proposed to them my project,v

they totally adhered, with their musical identity

and also their humanity. That's what I liked.

In addition, I had the opportunity to meet Isabelle Quintana, web designer and graphic artist.

She directly suggested me the Tower of Babel for the poster.

It seemed obvious to her. So, I felt totally understood,

especially because she created this image while listening to my music.

During concerts, I realized that in fact my music appeals to any kind of audience,

even if sometimes, it is strangely strange.

My music impacts a lot thanks to its sensitivity and its veracity.

And so, I really want to share it, to make it discover to other audiences.

Good listening and good discovery!

I, Tonya Nitty Griddy (spoiler-full) Review! - Duration: 16:16.

it's kind of like the movies Deadpool and Black Swan had a baby and that movie

baby grew up watching only figure skating. That's right, today we're gonna

be talking about the 2017 biopic, I, Tonya. This movie was written by Steven Rogers and

is directed by Craig Gillespie and it's rated R for pervasive language,

violence, and some sexual content/nudity. The first category in my grid is

gonna be genre. Now, I thought I, Tonya was an amazing biopic. It took a story

that most Americans are familiar with and told it from the perspective of not

just one unreliable narrator but several and gave us a version of the story we've

never heard before. The use of talking head shots to recreate actual interviews

was incredibly effective and then carrying that technique over into the

fourth wall breaking moments with the character of Tonya Harding was just

brilliant. To be fair, I am a sucker for breaking the fourth wall. When done

right, it's very, very effective and I thought this movie is one of those

examples where it was just, I mean, it really felt like these characters were

just sitting down and telling us their story, because they were and I thought

that was really great. I also like that this movie doesn't do what most biopics

do with their protagonists. It didn't try to claim Tonya Harding's innocence and

it didn't try to make her a hero. It just presented her as herself, as a human

being. I also thought that the movie did a really good job of kind of introducing

us not only to the world of figure skating but also to Tonya Harding's

world and it didn't do it in a in a heavy-handed way. We weren't, you know ,shown

how the competitions work, really. It was more of a gradual introduction and a

gradual understanding of this characters world as a whole. So, for the genre

category overall, I gave I, Tonya an 8.67 out of 10, which is

gonna be an A-. So, the next category in the grid is gonna be writing. The script

for I, Tonya I did a really good job of humanizing the character of Tonya

Harding. She was definitely an unreliable

narrator, as were all of the other characters

introduced throughout the movie, and she wasn't even a particularly nice person.

Obviously, she had the very clear outer goal of, you know, wanting to become the

best ice skater in the world and she had several very obvious outer oppositions

to that goal. But her internal struggles were what

really made the character empathetic. She had a need to be loved that couldn't be

fulfilled from the people in her life and she had a belief that she deserved

the abuses she endured. She says several times throughout the movie that when she

skated, she was loved by the people, and she doesn't explicitly state that she

needed that love, but she doesn't have to because that subtext is built into both

the script and Margot Robbie's performance. The character development

for each character across the board is very strong, as well. For pretty much

every character in the movie, we understand who they are from the moment

we meet them and that's really rare in movies. I also really like that Tonya

doesn't go through a major character arc throughout the movie. She does have some

ups and downs, particularly in her relationship with her husband, but as far

as any kind of, you know, overall character change or growth, she really

doesn't have any, which normally would be a pretty big flaw in a movie, at least from

my perspective. But in this movie, I mean, she just was who she was and didn't

change for anybody and that was kind of the point. So, I liked that she didn't,

you know, she didn't go through any kind of arc. By the end of the movie, she

wasn't seeking redemption or forgiveness. She never admitted she did anything

wrong. But, by the end of the movie, it really doesn't matter if she goes

through any kind of change or not because we as an audience have come to

empathize with her despite her flaws and despite her her unwillingness to take

responsibility for her actions. I think my only complaint within the script was

that there wasn't a clear enough mark of the passage of time throughout the movie.

We do get the dates on the screen at a few points and she does say her age in

fairly natural ways, which is always nice, at a few points throughout the script.

But, for example, there's one scene where she mentions, you know, she acted a certain way

but it wasn't her fault because of hormones. So, I was like,

"I guess she's still 16 at this point?" I kind of thought that time had progressed

a little bit more. There were just a few things like that where the passing

of time could have been marked a little bit more clearly just to avoid a little

bit of confusion, but that's a pretty minor complaint in the grand scheme of things.

Overall, the script was very, very strong and one of the best scripts I've

seen for 2017. So, the total score for the writing category is gonna be

9.6 out of 10, which is an A+. The next category in the

grid is gonna be the editing and the special effects. Overall, I thought the

editing throughout I, Tonya was very solid

thought. The pacing of the movie was perfect and the talking-head scenes were

placed in just the right spots and for just the right length of time to be an

extremely effective storytelling device without feeling trite or lazy. The

skating scenes were also very well done. I kept looking to see if I could notice

any obvious stunt doubles or CGI composition face, you know, anything like

that and as far as I could tell, it was Margot

Robbie skating the entire time. I know that's not true,

but that's what it looked like. So, it's very well done. I know that's obviously a

combination of a lot of different categories going on right there but, for

the editor's part in that, definitely very, very well done. So, for the ending and

special effects category overall, I gave I, Tonya an 8.8 out of 10,

which is gonna be a solid A. So, next category is gonna be the sound.

I thought the soundtrack throughout I, Tonya was extremely fun while also

extremely appropriate. The soundtrack was filled with recognizable songs from the

80s and 90s but it didn't feel like the same 80s and 90s songs that get chosen

for every movie taking place in that time period. I also loved that the first

time we see Tonya skate in a competition, we see the girl skating before her and

she's doing her routine to classical music and then Tonya comes out and

starts skating to ZZ Top's sleeping bag. Now, that's a real, like, song and routine

that she did in real life so it's not surprising that they picked that song

and integrated it into the movie, but the juxtaposition with the classical

music then jumping to that was just really well done. It wasn't really

mentioned in the movie but it did a really good job of just

showing how out of place she was and how differently she thought compared to

everyone else within that community. So, I just thought that was a really great

touch and just some great choices of music there. So, the overall score for the

sound design which includes the sound mix and sound effects as well as the

soundtrack is gonna be an 8.67 out of 10, which is gonna be

an A-. So, next category in the grid is gonna be acting and casting and I

thought that acting throughout I, Tonya was incredible but Margot Robbie and

Allison Janney a particular stole the show. Margot Robbie manages to break your

heart and make you root for her character even though she's not a

particularly likeable character and you know how the story is gonna end. In the

end of the movie, when she's told she'll never skate again, I mean, your heart just

breaks for her and a lot of that's from the performance as well as the script

and it's just a great moment because, I mean, as an audience, we know she should

be punished for her role in everything. Was this the appropriate punishment? I

don't know, but this movie makes you ask that question which i think is is

really great. And Allison Janney can say more in a reaction shot then I feel like

most actors could say at a page of dialogue. She definitely deserves all of

the awards, nominations, and praise she's been getting for her role in I, Tonya.

The one thing that bothers me a little bit within the acting and casting is

just the fact that Margot Robbie is a little bit too old to be playing the 23-

year-old Tonya Harding, and she's definitely too old to be playing the 15-

and 16-year-old Tonya Harding. And, don't get me wrong, I much prefer to complain

in this direction rather than the usual casting a 30-year-old to play a 55-year-old,

which happens far more frequently, and I also would much rather have Margot

Robbie play the teenage Tonya Harding then try to bring in another actor to

fill that role. Not only would that be a little bit distracting just because the

age gap between 15 and 23 isn't significant enough that you would look

that different, but also you would just get less Margot Robbie, which would be

ridiculous because she's amazing in this movie. So, this is a minor complaint

because I really don't a solution. I mean, the only solution

would be to cast someone younger and that's silly because she did an amazing

job playing Tonya Harding and she's an incredible actress but she is, you

know, in her late 20s and Tonya Harding at her oldest in the movie was 23,

and it was noticeable. But, like I said, I'd rather complain that way than the

other way and her performance was strong enough, I think she can get away with

that. But, it was noticeable and it's something worth noting.

So, for acting and casting overall, I gave the category a 9.43 out

of 10, which is gonna be an A+. So, next category is gonna be directing

and cinematography. I thought the camerawork throughout I, Tonya was very visually

interesting, particularly during those scenes when the fourth wall breaks occur.

And, I also mentioned this in the editing section, but the skating scenes were just

phenomenally well done. You really couldn't tell that it wasn't Margot

Robbie when I'm sure it wasn't Margot Robbie in many of those scenes,

certainly during all the spins and things like that. It's a combination of

the editing and the directing as well as the performances, both for Margot Robbie

and whoever her skate double was so, there's a lot going on as far as, you

know, what made them look so good. For Gillespie's part, it really was very

well done. It really looked like it was Margot Robbie the whole time and

also just really looked like the actual skating routines. If you go back and

watch, you know, Tonya Harding's routines, you can see that it's very, very similar

and it's just very impressive the way they were able to recreate it. So,

definitely points for that. When it comes to lighting, I thought I, Tonya did a

really good job of maintaining a sense of realism while still looking just very,

very beautiful, which is a good balance because this movie in particular really

seemed to strive for that pseudo-documentary kind of feel so that

realism is really important. You know, you can't have anything to stylized or else

you would lose that personal connection with these characters. So, I thought they

did a really good job of balancing those things. I do wish that the lighting had

played a little bit more of a part within this storytelling but other than

that, I mean, the lighting was just very good throughout

and it did a really good job of maintaining that documentary feel while

also having more of an artistic feel, you know, it was a good balance. So, overall, for

the directing and cinematography category of I, Tonya, I gave it an

8.67 out of 10, which is gonna be an A-. The next two

categories are gonna be character aesthetics and environmental aesthetics.

Character aesthetics are gonna include hair, makeup, and costumes while

environmental aesthetics are gonna be sets, props, and locations. For

character aesthetics, I gave I, Tonya a perfect 10 out of 10.

If you look at pictures of Tonya Harding compared to Margot Robbie portraying

Tonya Harding, they don't look much alike, but just the details, you know, the hair,

the makeup, the costumes, you know, all of those characteristics, it's just

phenomenal the attention to detail. Now the environmentalists ethics, I went a

little bit lower with my score and I gave an 8 out of 10, which is still

an A-. I really just didn't see anything within

any of those categories that kind of knocked it up to perfect but the quality

and attention to detail is still there and still very, very well done.

The next category is gonna be impact on film and this one I break up into three

separate subcategories. I've got the critical impact, the cult impact, and the

inspirational impact. For critical impact, I gave I, Tonya a 3.5 out of 5,

which I based off of Rotten Tomatoes. For cult, impact I gave it a 4 out of 5. There

wasn't an audience score available on Rotten Tomatoes yet for some reason,

which surprised me, but I went ahead and just kind of went with my gut and

assumed that, you know, this is gonna be a movie that, I think, is gonna have a

cult following over time. I think audiences are gonna really respond to it

so I just kind of, you know, guessed based on my gut and gave it a 4 out of 5

for the cult impact. And, for inspirational impact, I gave I, Tonya a

four out of 5. More than anything, I think that this movie is going to

inspire not just future filmmakers but just storytellers, in general, because it

plays with perspective and I think any kind of story that takes risks like that

or that, you know, has a more experimental approach to storytelling is going to be

inspirational because it gets people thinking in different ways

and particularly because this is a story that everybody knows and it's being told in a

way that nobody has heard yet, so I think that that's gonna get people thinking in

different ways and maybe inspire some different ways of storytelling. I also

just think that this movie was really, really well-made overall and I do think

it's gonna have a cult following over time. So, for those reasons, as well, I

think that the inspirational impact is gonna be pretty strong, so I went ahead

and gave it a 4 out of 5 for that. So the total score for impact on film is

gonna average out to a 7.33 out of 10, which is gonna be a solid B. I think

it's worth noting that this is the only category that received lower than an A-.

So, you know, again, just to emphasize, this is a really, really well-made movie. I

really, really liked it. And that leads us into the last category, which is gonna be

overall enjoyment and it should come as no surprise that I definitely gave this

movie a 10 out of 10, perfect, for overall enjoyment. I was really excited going

into this movie because I could just tell from the trailer, you know, I had a

gut feeling I was gonna really love it and it did not disappoint. It was fun, it

was thought-provoking, it was visually appealing, it was funny, it was

heart-wrenching. I mean, what more could you ask for? This movie just had it all. I

also gave this movie one point of extra credit. I kind of divvied it up as a half

point of extra credit just for giving us that different perspective on a story

we're all familiar with and then another half point of extra credit for getting

people interested in, you know, a real-life event. I only gave a half point for

each mostly because I had mentioned the perspective thing throughout and kind of

gave points throughout the grid for that same reason and I didn't want to

double-dip too much and I didn't give a full point for getting people interested

just because I think a lot of people were already kind of interested and a

lot of people already knew this story, which is part of why the perspective

thing works so well. So, yeah, so I just did a half point for each to give one

point total of extra credit. So, the total score for I, Tonya is gonna be an 88.17,

which is a solid A. It's not a perfect movie and it does

have some flaws here and there but there's definitely not one category I

can point to and say "There is where the weaknesses are." It's definitely more, you know,

a couple of points lost here, a couple points lost there, just kind of

general things. So, it's definitely a strong movie overall. I highly encourage

people to see it. It's definitely one of those movies, though, like, if you watch

the trailer, I think you get a really good idea of whether you're gonna like

this movie or not. So, I would recommend, you know, if you've seen the trailer and

you're even a little bit interested in the movie, I think you should go see it. I

think you'll love it. But, if you've seen the trailer and you have zero interest,

you know, you probably won't like it. You know, it's just one of those movies

where you can really tell from the trailer what you're getting into. So,

that's my recommendation. I really liked it and I hope other people go see it. If

you've seen it already, let me know what you thought in the comments below and

I'm looking forward to hearing what other people thought of this movie. Hey,

I, Tonya Itty Bitty (SPOILER-FREE) Review! - Duration: 4:33.

it's kind of like the movies Deadpool and Black Swan had a baby and that movie

baby grew up watching only figure skating. That's right, today we're gonna

be talking about the 2017 biopic I, Tonya. This movie is written by Steven Rogers

and directed by Craig Gillespie. It's rated R for pervasive language, some

violence, and some nudity and sexual content. So, when it comes to weaknesses,

this movie really doesn't have any. It's not a perfect movie, there are definitely

some categories that received lower scores than others on my grid, and, you

know, when I get into the Nitty Griddy review, I'll definitely point out some of

the things that I felt could have been stronger or some things that just

weren't as good as it could have been. But as far as, you know, a brief spoiler-free

review, there's really, you know, there's not a single category that I can

point to and say, you know, "this category is the weakest." Pretty much everything

got As throughout the grid, so I really can't just pick one and say this is

this is the weakness. So, even though there are weaknesses throughout the

movie, I'm kind of gonna just skip over it for this review just because the

weaknesses are a little bit more general rather than, like, a whole category. So,

that said, the strengths were also very hard to pin down as far as what I wanted

to talk about in this brief review but but what I will say is I think the two

strongest points in this very strong movie overall is gonna come in the

writing and the acting. So, I thought the script in I, Tonya did a really good job

of taking this event in history and this figure from, you know, American culture

and giving us a different perspective of events. So, I'm not gonna say too much

about the script just because I want to avoid all spoilers. Obviously, this is a

biopic, everybody kind of knows how the story goes, but because it plays around

with perspective so much, there are some, you know, twists and turns and just

interesting aspects to the script but, aside from what I just said, I don't

really want to say too much about it just because it's really--it's just a very

fresh and an interesting script but it just gets you thinking about point

of view and perspective and it also does a really good job of not vilifying or

hero-worshipping Tonya Harding. You know, which is good. So, it just does a

really good job of telling her story in a unique way so, in that regard, the

writing was really, really strong and just solid. It was it was a solid script.

The acting throughout was also phenomenal, particularly when it comes to

Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding and Alison Janney as her mother, LeVona.

Robbie's performance really does a great job of humanizing this character and

getting us to empathize with her without going too overboard or trying to turn

her into the hero of a story. It's just a great, humanizing performance and

very, just, well done. And Alison Janney definitely deserves all of the, you know,

awards and nominations and praise she's been getting. She's just incredible and

her facial expressions throughout, I mean, she can say more in a reaction shot than

a lot of actors can say with a full page of dialogue. So, I really don't want

to say too much more about I, Tonya and I don't want to spoil anything or,

you know, change anyone's expectations of the movie. I think the trailers do a

really good job of showing what you're getting into so, if you like the look of

the trailer, you like the feel of the trailer, you should go see it. You'll

probably love this movie like I did. And if you watch the trailer and it just

doesn't interest you at all, you know, maybe skip it. It definitely has a little

bit more of a quirkiness to it that maybe isn't, you know, up everybody's

alley but I really liked it. I thought it was visually stunning and the script, like

I mentioned, was really solid. The performances throughout, you know, the

acting is amazing. It definitely deserves the nominations it's

been getting and I hope it takes home some some awards and the Academy

Awards later this year, because it's just-- it's just a really good movie and I

think it's gonna go down as a cult classic, I really do. It's just

one of those movies. Hey, thanks for watching. Let me know your thoughts in

Jawhar - Menich Hzin (Official Video) - Duration: 3:53.

There it came the most blessed of days

And with its light bathed me

With its light bathed me

There were wars and seas of blood

But they did not move me

No they did not move me

Sewers invaded the streets

Sewers overflowed to celebrate freedom

But I'm not sad!

Black flags and thirst for slaughter

Here's a nice funeral for human history

No I'm not sad!

I have built small spaces

Spaces to illuminate the heart

Spaces today crumbling in chorus

I was pushed out by the street tide

And the Sun of Freedom burnt my eyes

After violence comes sleep

After sleep an empty will

I am not sad!

Get up and play me your lute

Let me do my belly dance!

No I am not sad!

Night and doubt have dawned on me

Night and doubt have dawned on me...

Night and doubt have dawned on me

Night and doubt have dawned on me...

Rocket Science Experiment - Playing upside down? - Duration: 2:59.

Hey guys, HalfwayDead here with an announcement.

I'm going to be playing Rocket League upside down for a month and stream it.

Let me explain in detail.

First off all how did I get this idea?

So there is this youtuber and I kinda wanted to give him a shoutout ages ago but didn't

really find a proper moment until now.

His name is badboogl and he is creating scientific Rocket League videos.

Except he doesn't research how the game works but instead how learning works.

Meaning, he read a lot of scientific research on the topic, summarizes the most relevant

points and offers suggestions for drills that align with the theory.

Not to take too much away but in one of his videos he made a point about how the brain

can build up this bad association that turning left will turn towards the left side of the

screen because most often we're watching the car from that same perspective.

However, it is obviously wrong in a lot of situations and one way to force your brain

to adapt is to turn the screen upside down.

Now he never actually suggested to try and hit the ball or go into ranked matches while

doing this so please don't blame him if my results from this little experiment are going

to be subpar but I personally thought it's logical that it should work in any scenario

because it's still the same game, I'm just looking at it from a different perspective.

It essentially allows me to start over like a new player.

Obviously, if I would only play upside down then I would just eventually get the same

bad habit in reverse so instead I'm going to be alternating between upside down and

normal days.

I'm going to be smurfing while upside down.

I believe that I'll probably place in bronze anyway at the start andlaying with my champ

account would just give everyone a worse experience.

Now some more info on the streams.

I'm going to be streaming at twitch.tv/halfwaydead as often as possible, usually in the evenings

CET.

But there is no exact time so I suggest following me on twitch or other social media.

If I feel like I don't have enough time, I will cancel streams.

Videos still take priority and the video release schedule should be unaffected.

On Sunday the next video will be released.

I will also be at DH Leipzig next weekend so I won't be able to stream then but the

week after should have lots of streams.

In a month I'll see how the experiment has come along and will decide on whether I'll

stop or keep going for a bit longer.

Afterwards I'll create a recap video of my experience.

Alright, if you're watching this video right after it comes out I should be live on twitch

right now so you can watch me.

And either way you should check out some of badboogls videos.

How The Jetsons Predicted The Future Of Automation | AJ+ - Duration: 9:14.

If you'd wanted to know what the future looked like before it arrived, all you

really had to do was look at the Jetsons.

(Music) "Meet George Jetson."

The television series described many things we now see in the 21st century

long before we'd even finished the 20th. The Jetsons predicted our present

technology and lifestyle. So, since they were so great at telling us what

today would look like what can this cartoon family teach us about future tech and

how automation will alter our lives?

"You think. You think! Your machine is supposed to do the thinking, Jetson."

"I have feelings, like everyone else."

"The future is happening now. And the question is: When will it be distributed so everyone benefits from it?"

Hey, everyone. I'm Joel. This is AJ+. And this Sunday we're looking into a colorful cartoon past

to better understand our automated future.

And yes, we will talk about robots, jobs – and the dark side of automation.

Flying cars. Moving walkways. Video conferencing. Computers. And robotic

maids. Those are all things the Jetsons had. When George, Jane, Judy and Elroy

premiered on ABC in 1962, all those things were unimaginable as part of a daily life.

Future tech was color TV when the Jetsons began, because it wasn't

wasn't until the 1960s when color televisions began selling en masse. So the thought that

Rosie, the family's robotic maid, would one day become a part of daily

daily life as an automatic vacuum cleaner may have been inconceivable then. But in 2018,

Rosie looks like this, and sounds like this.

"You have 12 events scheduled." The world is rushing to automate. Think grocery

store checkouts, self-driving cars and how shipping has evolved. In fact the

the automated household of the Jetsons is only a decade away, according to tech entrepreneur

Vivek Wadhwa. "When I was young, it was my favorite TV series. I

expect to have a robot like Rosie cleaning up after me. Rather than having

servants and maids and chauffeurs, we'll have robots serving us."

So maybe your morning routine doesn't look exactly like George Jetson's – yet! But

it already has some similarities. And unlike the Jetsons' total embrace of the

technology around them, society in real life has been hesitant about some

technological advances.  The trepidation may have something to do with hearing

forecasts like this from World Bank President Jim Yong Kim. "We estimate that

two-thirds of all jobs in developing economies will be

wiped out by automation." Take a second to think of any and every job that makes up our economy.

Well, 50% of those work activities are

technically able to be automated by current technologies. Even the Obama White House has

has said almost every driving job – that's your taxi driver, the delivery

driver who delivers the food to your local grocery store and the

long-haul truckers you see on the interstate – all of their jobs will be

be automated. "That's f*cked up, yo! What the f*ck are they going to do if they

make everything autonomous?" Maybe hearing those statistics makes you want to panic.

But AI and robotics expert Neil Jacobstein says you don't have to and

and shouldn't get hysterical about the worst that can happen with automation. "If you

run your risk assessment by what's the worst that can happen, you would run a

a risk assessment around many of the technologies that are already in the

world today and can conclude that they should all be banned, including cars."

Jacobstein says we haven't banned vehicles just because they have the potential to

run down pedestrians. That's a worst-case scenario. And he says that if we'd used it to

determine the future of cars, we would never have had them. So we have cars, and

actually, we have much more than you may realize.

Wadhwa says it's important to recognize just how far automation and AI have

already come. "We have to understand the technology advances and accept the fact

fact that this is going to happen. Don't be in denial about it. Understand the fact that

every industry is going to be impacted." And when he says AI and automation will

impact every single industry, he means it. It's not just jobs

reliant upon physical labor that are at risk.

Those are things you've probably already heard and thought about – like the truck

driver example we talked about earlier. You can also expect careers that require

a lot of intelligence to be disrupted, and here's why. "Because what artificial intelligence does,

it analyzes data, information, and makes decisions." "We're

going to see them augment humans in human roles. So there'll be machines plus humans

outperforming either humans or machines alone." Whoa! Maybe this is why – in

a world filled with advanced technology – George Jetson's only job is to push a

couple of buttons. "After all, I'm a darn good digital index operator.

You gotta have it up here to know how to start these things and stop 'em."

And according to Mr. Spacely, he didn't even do that well. [steam engine sound] "You dunderhead! You dolt!"

This means even George's cushy job could be disrupted, too. "You're fired!" I don't think that there is any limit to

what the systems can learn to do, eventually." Jacobstein says automation's benefits won't

come without turmoil – AKA serious growing pains. "The question is not whether AI and

robotics will create new jobs, because it's absolutely true that they will

create and do create new jobs the the question is what's the ratio of new jobs. The question is: What's the

the ratio of new job creation to job displacement or destruction? And I think that ratio

could easily be unfavorable, at least in the short term." To understand what this could

mean, let's look at the medical industry. There are already digital doctors

that can look at your health, and digital tutors that can teach you. Wadhwa says

the ability to diagnose yourself and have AI advise you on maintaining your health

isn't far away. In fact, Wadhwa says there we will be fewer doctors because of

this – and it may affect some of the most specialized positions first. If you're

questioning what other jobs will be available in the automated age,

realize we may already be doing them and just not getting compensated.

"In the long term, we could create new jobs that are jobs we don't see today

or people don't get paid to do today. A lot of work that people do in volunteer

work could be paid. We are already doing many jobs in today's world that people

people would never call a job 200 years ago." To prepare for this future,

Wadhwa says the best way to deal with automation's disruption is to look at the past.

"Alright, take a deep breath." [inhales] "Now exhale." [exhales]

OK, but not that far in the past. And in my interview, Wadhwa told me that

the case study to look at is the Great Depression. The crippling economic

downturn left about a quarter of the workforce jobless at one point.

The federal government's response is what's known as the New Deal. It included public

works projects and financial reforms, all aimed at getting people back to work.

So, much like the Great Depression, the disruption automation and AI

gives us a chance to reboot our lives. "We can rethink our society, rethink our

rethink our entire value system, and go back to what matters. This is the opportunity we

have now. All in the next 10, 15, 20 years." While we're thinking of all the changes

needed in the United States to deal with the result of automation, just know it's

not a one-size-fits-all solution. What's required in Nigeria, Australia or India

isn't the same as the U.S. "Countries such as India and Bangladesh and Pakistan,

for example, there's infrastructure to be built. We can put all those people

to work in building new cities. Abandon the existing cities, which are polluted."

But there is one thing all nations will have to troubleshoot.

"We really need to think ahead about what we're going to do to help people

maintain a high quality of lifestyle and be able to move forward with their lives. If we're going to rely on jobs

being the primary mechanism of wealth distribution, then we might easily see

see businesses cutting jobs and replacing those jobs with automation –

– both AI and robotics – and people losing jobs." So yes, automation and AI will bring a lot of changes, a lot of which

which will be very uncomfortable. But does that mean it will all be bad for humanity? "It's not

all hopeless. You know, who says we have to work 40, 50, 60 hours a week? Why

are jobs so important? What if we only had to work 5 or 10 hours a week?

What if everyone now had everything they needed and the purpose of life, the goals

that we had, were to seek enlightenment?"

Hey, thanks for watching. Be sure to like, share and subscribe. And I just produced a three-part series

on this topic: AI, automation and robotics. So be sure to check that out.

1 Year of Triathlon Swim Training Progress Side-by-Side - Duration: 9:24.

- [Narrator] I have, I want to say four big focuses

with improving my swimming.

I really caught Miles' attention there when I said butt.

The overall length of my body has become longer.

(instrumental music and running water)

(rushing water)

Morning traniacs that was a 3,000 meter swim and

about an hour and 12 minutes.

I did not feel good.

That did not, no, even the floaty pants

couldn't save that one.

Nah, nah, nah.

Oh, oh, oh, you know what I forgot about until, like,

yesterday is that almost to the year,

we have 2016, December swimming tearing and

2017, December swimming tearing on video

side by side, exact same shot.

I think, let's look at 'em.

Let's see what 12 months of work ends up resulting in and

over the course of 2017, I have,

I want to say, four big focuses with improving my swimming.

Those being, number one, I wanted

to not have my butt so high up.

I really caught Miles' attention there when I said butt.

(laughing)

That'll make sense in a second here.

Number two, I wanted to have my elbow in a better position,

not being, not cutting back so

quickly in the water ahead of my hand.

The third thing was I wanted to have a bent elbow.

I want it to be nice like that so that it's not just my

forearm that's acting as a solid surface in the water,

but, I've actually got the under side of my bicep and

the fourth thing was having a nice long vessel.

So, let's see how I did over the course of the year.

So, remember here that on top is just recently and

the bottom is a little over a year ago and the first thing

that we're gonna look at is what I'm talking about with

not having my butt up close to the surface of the water.

We'll let this play out and you can see what I mean.

I'll pause it at a certain point that explains it perfectly.

(instrumental music)

So, I'm gonna pause it right there and you can see exactly

what I'm talking about.

You can see that a year ago, that my body was like an

upside down M that I was trying to push my chest deeper into

the water to bring my legs up and have that seesaw effect,

but, what was happening was because I was like

most triathletes, I used a

pole buoy lap and became reliant on it.

I love my floaty pants and this is why I say don't become

reliant on those things because what happens

is you end up looking like this where your chest gets pushed

deep into the water, but, your butt ends up coming up close

to the surface of the water and then, your legs end up

going down to counter act that and

what you see is I've got from a

straight line from the bottom of my leg

to my chest, there's about a two inch gap and

this front of my leg part here, is actually creating drag.

What you can also see is that my legs are sitting lower in

the water, whereas just recently,

they're sitting a fair bit higher.

It's almost one straight line and everything

that comes from my shoulders back

is tucked in to that frontal surface area

that's creating drag at the front of my stroke

which I can't get around, but, it's tucked in behind.

Whereas a little over a year ago, we've got my shoulders,

but, my chest is creating a bit of drag, the front of my hip

is creating a little bit of drag and you can see

that my legs are sitting lower in the water

so, they're creating a little more drag.

So, project number one seems to have been improved and

next thing I wanted to improve was my elbow position.

We can actually just kind of scoot forward here and

see how I did with that.

You can see right away that as I start

pulling back over a year ago, I was leading with my elbow.

I was trying to slice through the water with my elbow as the

first thing that was pulling back, whereas just recently,

I've worked on that a lot and sure,

the elbow is the first thing to go back.

I don't have a perfectly vertical form.

I'm going to work on that, but, you can see that in almost

every frame, especially here, I'm starting the catch by

creating surface area with my hand to push back, whereas,

a little over a year ago, you can see that,

that hand is actually pushing down.

It's not quite there, but, it's getting there.

Now, let's see how I did with the bent elbow and

getting that closer to 90 degrees.

On the left, is a year ago.

On the right, is just a few weeks ago.

Currently, I still don't quite have

that 90 degree bent elbow that you want.

I didn't a year ago and quite honestly,

I don't see a lot of change here and from that angle,

I would almost say that my right arm

has got worse potentially.

That feels good and then, the final thing I want to look at

being a longer vessel, being stretched out.

You can see a couple of things.

Number one is that my arm is stretched out way further.

The longer you are in the water, the more

hydrodynamic you're going to be.

You want the same force.

You're gonna slide through the water longer for each stroke.

So, I'm more stretched out at the front.

In addition to that, what you can see is that,

basically, my feet are cut off at almost the same point.

The camera angle is closer a year ago, but,

the total length from my fingertips back towards

the end of my feet is, kind of, close to the same distance.

So, the overall length of my body has become longer.

We can see this in another angle as I am as stretched out

a year ago as much as I can possibly be,

my elbow was still bent.

I wasn't all the way out there getting as long as I

possibly could whereas, now, from my fingertips

through the body, all the way back to the feet is one long

unit that is working together sliding through the water

on my side at about a 45 degree angle here and I'm a lot

longer and I'm gonna end up traveling further per stroke.

After the entire year of work and a lot of

the changes came at the end of the year.

I went from doing around a 1645

or so, thousand meter time trial, down to a 1607

or so, thousand meter time trial and

one of the biggest changes that I made was that lengthening

up the body and I've got to give a shout out here

to Gerry Rodrigues from Tower 26 who gave me just a couple

really easy drills in the podcast that we did with him

that were so straight forward that I was able to easily

understand them and apply them in the

few weeks before this footage happened.

I've been in contact with Gerry.

We've kind of developed a friendship, like, bromance,

big fan Gerry and he actually just came out

with his foundation's swim program and I would say

this works really well for people who've gone through

my swim drill program and they're comfortable in the

water and then, they're looking at just developing

into a really good competent swimmer.

Gerry has a lot of techniques and explanations of drills

that are very easy to understand because in my case,

all he had to say was, well practice vertical kicking and

remember that long stretched out feeling that you get

when you're vertical kicking and then, transfer that into a

horizontal movement and that was like, (snap) instantly.

I'd been working on this for years, but, within days,

I was able to stretch myself out.

So, they just launched their foundation's swim program and

what I worked out with Gerry is, I said hey, let's do my

followers a solid here.

You can get a one week free trial to check out

all of Gerry's plans at coaching.tower26.com.

Enter the code T26-10 and you can get a

one week free trial to their $75.00 a month plan and that'll

let you know if you are or aren't interested in it.

Big fan Gerry, like I say,

I don't make any money off of that.

I just think that Gerry is a fantastic coach.

The man has helped Lionel Sanders

throughout the course of the last few years.

Turned into actually, a pretty good swimmer.

So, he knows what he's talking about and on that note,

I have a lot of bent elbow drills to do.
