Waching daily Jan 25 2018

welcome to get indie gaming today were beginning our 2018 coverage of indie

game seeking funding via the kickstarter platform we've been through the various

campaigns and I've selected five titles we thought worth a showcase coming up

amongst this month's choices we've a game with its feet fully immersed in the

film noir a world war 2 flight sim and a promising low poly animal inspired

action-adventure in keeping with the serious tradition let's take a moment to

review how the games we picked out in December did against their aims

well it's wall-to-wall good news here Zeno Crisis secured just over 72,000

pounds versus a 20,000 pound aim and met all of its stretch goals including a

port coming out on both the PC and the Nintendo switch session was also a

runaway success bringing in more than one hundred and sixty three thousand

Canadian dollars nearly a hundred thousand more than their targets the

other three games prehistoric Kingdom Starfighter infinity and the ballad

singer were also successfully funded making it a full house amongst the

choices from last month with last month's successes covered off let's jump

into our selections for January

leading things off in vulpine we're looking at what could become a pleasant

action-adventure game where you make your way through a world that's been

reclaimed by Nature your players one of six different animals each one having

their own strengths and weaknesses we all encounter many eclectic beasts

creatures unlock various secrets and engage in combat with fearsome monster

boss battles much of the game is said to be exploration based all within a

procedurally generated low-poly diverse set of biomes ranging from dense forests

snowy mountain tops and barren deserts each will offer their own contain

ecosystem and dynamic weather capabilities like others of its type we

can also expect to see elements of crafting and inventory management as you

gather resources from defeated foes and things you find from about the place

while perhaps a little rough around the edges there's plenty of time for this

one to develop the team are looking to raise $22,000 and with just under a

month remaining in the campaign they're halfway towards their target

looking for $25,000 with their campaign finishing up on February the eighth the

team behind Eden's last sunrise are hoping to bring a unique take on the

traditional tactical RPG proposition players can expect isometric gameplay a

compelling job system meaningful character interactions and branching

storylines together with mix-and-match abilities and challenging battles in

another little twist from the get-go players will choose a science or magic

faction this naturally will enable you to have different powers depending on

which side you go for you'll also be able to make creative choices in the

weapon selection we are able to infuse parts of other items with healing or

magic options to improve your chances as you progress through the levels

currently expected to launch onto the PC and PlayStation 4 with other systems

under consideration with a demo available to play now Eden's last

sunrise should make it out to market at some point towards the end of next year

next up is the rather fine-looking Cerebral a fully hand animated 2v2 4

player tag-team fighter game that's inspired by the likes of Marvel vs.

Capcom series it'll ship with local and online modes and will come with a

minimum of 4 playable characters and perhaps more if a number of the stretch

goals are met seeking a rather sizable sum of just over a quarter of a million

dollars cerebral is built on the idea that players not only need to know their

character and the depths of their own movesets

but also how players can best work together as a team to defeat their

opponents the people behind the game have spent the best part of three years

putting this all together and hope to use his campaign to fund its full-time

development we're certainly enjoying the classical looking to the art style and

kudos for the painstaking work needed to put each frame together having spent a

short time with the available demo we're really excited to see how this one turns

out if successful before the end of the February campaign deadline the team are

suggesting an early access launch in q1 of next year

from the polish publisher movie games and being developed by a studio called

atomic jelly 303 squadron Battle of Britain is a world war two flight sim

that's promising to offer a mash-up of realistic fly mechanics all within an

open world that will enable the player to explore RAF Northolt its surroundings

and perhaps interact with other pilots and staff on the ground there's also the

premise of a first-person mechanic mode where you'll be able to mix up and

change the spec and weapon loadouts of your airplane said to be based on real

accounts of the time this one has a plan launched in early access on Steam as

early as March 2018 looking for 12,000 Canadian dollars stretch goals include a

port on to the Xbox Playstation 4 and at $300,000 the team a promising VR support

with the recent success stories of battlefield 1 and the forthcoming

battalion 1944 there seems an added impetus within the market to support

these type of pure back to basic war based experiences having already beaten

their initial campaign target as this video comes to air best wishes to atomic

jelly and reaching all those extra goals and while the VR target is certainly

stretch there's no doubt such an option would drive additional and genuine

excitement for the fans

and taking the top slot for january genesis noir on paper at least comes

across as something rather bizarre and which we know precious little about if

we're being honest it's so different to what we've seen of late that even

describing it is a reasonable challenge the game takes place before during and

after the big bang your character known as no man is tasked to save the love of

his life by preventing the expansion of the universe from a look at the trailer

and reviewing the documentation that's available were most likely seeing here a

graphic adventure experience that uses point-and-click mechanics which will

have you interact with objects and solve environmental based puzzles looks-wise

well we're highly amused by the team's use of cubist and film noir influences

or within a flat aesthetic using rough-and-ready sketches of the

characters and their surroundings the team are aiming to get 40,000 US dollars

and the title is penciled in for released in q4 next year while there's

not too much to go on the playable demo offers a snapshot of what to expect and

here's hoping this catch is enough people's imaginations to bring Genesis

noir out to market and with that thanks for watching please let us know your

thoughts in the usual sections and we'll be back here soon for some more videos

This Is What A Sumo Wrestler Really Eats - Duration: 3:56.

It's no secret that athletes of all shapes and sizes spend a huge amount of time perfecting

their diets and training to get themselves in peak performance shape.

Sumo wrestlers are no different — they don't just eat whatever they want to get to that

size.

They have a strict diet and routine they follow.

Here's how a sumo star really eats.

Counting calories

GQ talked to Mongolian sumo wrestler Byamba Ulambayar, who weighs in at a relatively lean

360 pounds.

He says a typical day for him involves scarfing down around 4,000 calories, and while that's

two or three times what you might be eating on a daily basis, it's still not a huge amount.

Different wrestlers have different dietary requirements.

NPR reports the typical caloric intake for a sumo wrestler is somewhere between 5,000

and 8,000 calories.

Others have reported numbers as high as 10,000 or more.

So what do they eat to reach those high numbers?

Start with starch

Ulambayar told Grub Street that rice is a key part of the sumo wrestler diet, and they

eat bowls and bowls of it at a time.

Wrestlers-in-training use rice as a way to pack on the pounds and help give them a competitive

edge.

For him, udon noodles are also key.

They're a big portion of his dinners, which usually also include other healthy foods like

fish and salad.

Try some chanko-nabe

If you really want to eat like a sumo wrestler, there's one dish you have to try: chanko-nabe.

There's a ton of different ways you can make the hearty, healthy stew.

Sometimes it's served alone and sometimes it's served with rice or side dishes like

omelets and dumplings, and while it's a pretty healthy meal, it also allows them to pack

on the calories with bowl after bowl after bowl.

It's been a staple of the sumo wrestler's diet since at least the 19th century, and

it's such an important component of their lifestyle it's called a "legal steroid."

While all wrestlers down multiple bowls, there's a clear record-holder for the most eaten in

a single sitting.

That honor goes to a man named Takamisugi, who downed a shocking 65 bowls featuring 29

pounds of beef, and apparently he only stopped because he was tired of chewing.

That's some serious dedication.

Winner winner chicken dinner

Chanko-nabe can be made with any kind of meat, including beef and fish.

NPR reports there are at least 100 different versions of the stew, and while there aren't

that many rules about what can go into the pot, there's one guideline that's rooted in

age-old thinking.

On competition days, sumo wrestlers will only eat chicken chanko-nabe, and it's not for

nutritional reasons.

It's because chickens only walk with two feet on the ground, and that's how sumo wrestlers

are going to win — by keeping two feet planted squarely on the ground.

Hands and feet would make four legs, and that would mean a loss.

Liquids

Hydration is also key to the sumo wrestler's diet, because in between all that eating are

some seriously grueling training sessions.

Ulambayar told Grub Street one of the biggest, most important parts of his daily intake is

a ton of water and plenty of green tea (and more than the occasional beer).

It's absolutely crucial, too, because the champ says he typically loses between 10 and

15 pounds in sweat alone during his morning workout.

Sleep after meals

Sumo wrestlers are surprisingly among the healthiest of all athletes.

According to a report by the Asia Pacific Journal of Sports and Social Science, they

don't just eat to pack on the pounds, they have strategic methods of eating.

One involves doing something you've probably heard you should never do if you're trying

to lose weight: sleeping right after you eat.

According to Slate, a sumo wrestler's massive, mid-day lunch of chanko-nabe is not only made

up of multiple bowls of soup, but it's also followed by a good, long nap.

Skipping breakfast

In order to help keep weight on, sumo wrestlers

skip breakfast, despite getting up early to train.

They spend their mornings working out, eat their first massive meal around 11 AM, and

then only eat again once.

That's said to help slow their metabolism and turn a lot of the calories they're consuming

into weight instead of just burning it off during their intense training sessions.

Basically, they do everything you're told not to do if you're trying to maintain your

weight or lose some pounds.

Top 10 INSANE Things Found In Basements - Part 2 - Duration: 6:45.

Hello!

Welcome back to the Most Amazing Corner of the internet!

I am Rebecca Felgate, your Most Amazing host and today we are talking about the Top 10

Things Found in Basements PART 2.

That's right….

Part 2!

You guys liked part 1 so much that I thought I would delve further into that lower level

crazy for you.

If you haven't seen part 1, here it its, check her out at the end of the video!

Also, a quick reminder before we launch right into this -

10 - A Spooky Chapel Urrrm..this is terrifying!

In Telford, UK, Pat and Diane Farla wondered what was inside a square box seal next to

a wall on the bottom level of their house.

They found a metal grille in their floor.

Eventually, they went below the grille and found an totally eerie stone chamber that

looked like an old chapel.

It even had a crucifix on the floor.

They then found there was a staircase leading to a cupboard in another area of their house.

Weird.

9 - Mythical Creatures According to Youtube Channel, Incredible News

E3, some strange creatures were found in a basement of a mansion in the UK.

Allegedly in the 60s in London, an old mansion belonging to a Thomas Theodore Merrylin was

being prepared for demolition when the discovery was made.

In wooden boxes, what look like alien and fairy

carcasses were found and now reside in the Merylinn Museum.

The museum exists ,but I am calling fake news all over the findings.

I am sure there were weird things in those boxes, but they're probably models.

Probably.

8 - THIS picture…

Okay, I am sure all kinds of things are going on in medical school basements, but imagine

being the group of modern day students that found this picture!

It is a group of class mates from times gone by posing with a corpse they were using for

dissection.

Nothing like a class snap!

Reddit is an endless source of creepy basement story sharing joy…for example, check out

this horrifying door one guy found in his workplace at number 7…

Hiiii.

No.

Absolutely not.

Firstly, why does it look like a prison door, and secondly, what the heck is this family

dynamic.

That baby is a creep fest.

Wait, they're all creep fests.

One redditor wrote – it looks like Leatherface got into arts and crafts……Texas Chainsaw

Arts and Crafts Massacre.

Taking a sad turn for the next two points – at number 6 we have Mummified Infants

How sad is this!

In 2010, a woman in LA discovered a trunk in her LA apartment in the building's basement.

In the trunk, she found lots of Peter Pan memorabilia and a the mummified remains of

two newborns.

Weirdly the trunk seemed to belong to a JM Barrie, the name of the Peter Pan Author.

After DNA testing, It turns out the woman was a Janet M Barrie who identified with the

author but was no relation.

She had stowed the babies remains away in the 1930s and they had laid undiscovered for

80 years.

Horrifyingly similar at number 5 we have two foetuses in a jar.

In 2012, William C Neff made a shocking discovery of two semi formed babies preserved in jars

in the basement of his home in Hannibal, Missouri.

The discovery came as a result of renovation work going on in the building.

After the gruesome finding, it was discovered that the building had been used as an illegal

abortion clinic in the 1900s.

4 - A Stranger Urrrm… like…who are you and why are you

in my basement.

This was very much a question on these Ohio State University students lips when they discovered

a secret door in their basement that led to a secret bedroom in which a mystery man called

Jeremy was living in.

The group of lads thought there was a ghost in the house that opened the oven and cupboard

doors…turns out….it was Jeremy!

This sounds too good to be true…one museum found that they were sitting on a hidden wine

Vault…that is coming in to number three…

Researchers at New Jersey's Kean University discovered a hidden wine vault in the basement

of the Liberty Hall History Museum.

There were 50 bottles of wine and other spirits that date back 300 years just sitting there

idol.

The loot included a 1796 case of Madeira – the wine is known for its longevity.

There were also cases of Cuban cigars!

2 - NASA Secrets Oh my!

In 2015 a dealer was cleaning out the Pittsburgh basement of a deceased IBM engineer who worked

for NASA during the Space Race era of the late 50s to mid 70s.

They found a whole load of old NASA files on two giant computers.

93 tapes were found with data about the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 flyby missions to Jupiter

and Saturn.

How cool is that !

1- A dozen live sharks….

Urrrrm…..

Officers from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation searched a home

in LeGrangeville.

The authorities found a home made pool in the basement, filled with seven live sand

tiger sharks and a dead hammerhead shark.

The sharks were caught and taken to the Long Island Aquarium

So.. woah… that was the top 10 Insane Things Found in the Basement…have you ever found

anything crazy down there?

Which of these do you think is the craziest?

iPhone 8 Four Months Later: Finally Right - Duration: 5:30.

So I'm gonna get to the video but before lets just play a quick game

how many months ago do you think the iPhone 8 and the 8+ came out the answers

is a very surprising at least for me four months ago I had to look it up September

22nd Apple released the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus we've had a lot of time to look at

it now a lot of my testing time has been spent admittedly checking out the iPhone

X but I went back and looked at the 8 in the 8+ to revisit it see if it's

still the phone but I know a lot of you guys are considering buying is you look

at the iPhone X and you're like so my initial review was that the phones

really surprised me I wasn't expecting that much from the 8 and the 8 Plus and

that's kind of changed a little bit because I started using it then I

started expecting a lot from it the performance on the phone is absolutely

credible I never thought that most modern release iPhones were ever slow

they're always behind you when it came to raw horsepower but iOS was optimized for

the hardware the phone here still feels incredibly fast with iOS 11 boot up is

insanely fast as fast of course you get with things like the iPhone X games

load incredibly quick third-party apps load fast you can throw geekbench

scores all you want but end user experiences what matters the phone still

feels extremely fast the big difference for me coming back to the 8 plus I spent

a lot of my time testing with from the 10 was getting used to touch ID again

I'm so used to not having a home button and got used to using gestures that was

definitely a learning curve but if your coming from an iPhone that wasn't the

iPhone X we're gonna be right at home with this experience touch ID here still

works very well in fact it looks better for me more accurately than Face ID

does but certainly you have to you know use your thumb to do it it was

a bit hard to get used to not having gestures again but after two days it

really wasn't an issue this multitasking very quickly at least how Apple allows

you to multitask with giant air quotes battery life is

also another area where I became extremely impressed with the phone I've

been super disappointed battery life on the iPhone X on the iPhone 8+ I can

almost stretch this thing out to two days with normal usage and auto brightness

turned on battery life is damn incredible when it comes to the iPhone

8+ and I mentioned battery life before I got the screen because I'm probably

gonna seem like a bit of a hypocrite here and I'm totally aware of that

it's a 1080p screen and you can take that for what you want it's no longer a

best-in-class screen that's like doesn't work great it's still really solid

outdoors picture still a great text still looks crisp you're not seeing any chunkiness

you're not see any pixels cuz it's still more than the eye can see

but it certainly doesn't look as good as a competition especially the equally

priced competition but of course the trade-off you're getting awesome battery

life so again like I said I know it's super critical to be like I want a

higher-risk green and awesome battery life because you give you just clearly

can't have everything as you saw what happens to the iPhone X battery life

but I'd probably sacrifice like a tiny bit of battery to maybe get a higher

resolution screen on it but if you're coming from an older Jen Plus device

you're not gonna lose any difference here on the screen at all it's similar

experience it works well it's true tone display is nice actually I kept it on

here so it boils down to this screen is fine I really love the way the glass

back feel on this generation devices I also really like the color I wish Apple

could decide what the heck color space gray actually was it's like six different

versions in eight different iterations but I liked away Space Gray looks I

really liked her the eggshell white of the silver

I loved that wireless charging is enabled here the Space Gray is definitely

fingerprint magnet so if you go for that color I definitely recommend putting on

a dbrand skin so you get a little bit more grip on it well link to those down

below if you want to check them out my issue with the 8 plus and this is a

minor issue than the design front it's the fourth iteration of the same design

we saw this back from the iPhone 6 and 6+ things haven't really changed

that much but if you like that design you're still getting a really good phone

and that's kind of the moral of this whole video you're still getting almost

everything that you get from the iPhone X with a few exceptions certainly the

front-facing camera you're not getting portrait mode you're getting close to

the same rear camera and of course the same speed you

with the iPhone X if you want to save some money you want the latest Apple experience I'm

still really enjoying the iPhone 8 plus but I will say the plus feels gigantic

in my hands so if you don't mind the giant screen size you want to go back

something like the iPhone 8 which it's a whole other discussion when it comes to

the screen on that phone that's the decision up to you it's certainly a

better value if you can save value when it comes to an Apple flagship phone and

you're still getting close to what you get with the iPhone X so let me know

what you guys picked up I know a lot of you guys decided to go for the iPhone 8 or the

8+ over the X if you switch to Android it all together and of course hit the

subscribe button and that little Bell next to it you notify when new videos

are coming we got a ton more awesome flagship vs. videos coming your way

that's all next time I'm Jon Rettinger from TechnoBuffalo

What is ePacket? (DROPSHIPPING Ecommerce) - Duration: 2:12.

[What is ePacket]

Alright, so if you've been thinking about dropshipping from China, ePacket delivery

has no doubt crossed your radar.

And while it may sound like something that's really complex or intimidating, it's actually

pretty straightforward.

Hey, what's up world it's Tommy Walker with Oberlo, and today, we're going to talk

all about ePacket delivery, how it all works, and how it will help you to ship products

more products more profitably from China

If you have any questions, or want to share your experiences, drop them in the comments

below, and I'll be sure to get back to you

ePacket is an agreement that the Chinese and Hong Kong governments have with the US postal

service and a ton of other countries including Canada and Australia to ship

light ecommerce packages from China, relatively cheaply and within 7-20 days and often much

quicker.

ePacket provides merchants and customers end to end tracking to monitor and locate their

package on official websites such as EMS.com and the United States Postal Service website

For dropshippers, ePacket has been massive and essential to the long-term success of

their business.

For years, dropshippers were plagued for with long, unreliable, and expensive shipping times

and little visibility into the fulfillment process.

As you can imagine, that was a nightmare for customer service, and establishing long-term

trust between buyers and dropshipping companies.

ePacket has totally revolutionized shipping small packets from China to Europe, Australia

& North America.

The length, height, and thickness of the package shouldn't exceed 36" (90cm).

And the weight shouldn't exceed 4 and a half pounds, and the price can't have a

value higher than $400 USD.

Lastly, the package must be shipped from China

or Hong Kong to eligible countries, which you can find an up-to-date list in the description

below!

If you want to track your packages using Oberlo,

click on "my orders" and you'll see the tracking code directly next to your fulfilled

orders.

The majority of the products in the Oberlo Marketplace are eligible for ePacket delivery,

making it easy to select qualified products

If, however, you're not using Oberlo, you can easily track your orders on services like

17track.net.

Customers may have to pay taxes and customs fees for their products, and it's different

for every product, so it's a good practice to make that known on an F.A.Q page, and throughout

the buying process so it's not a complete surprise for your customer.

And that's it!

See, I told you it was pretty simple.

And what about you?

If you're already dropshipping, how has ePacket impacted your business?

Hit that subscribe button and ring that bell to know when new videos on running a dropshipping

are released, and be sure to share this video with anyone you know who's looking to start

a dropshipping store using products from China.

Thanks so much for watching, and until next time

What Happened to the Beepocalypse? - Duration: 4:39.

- In 2006, something mysterious

started happening to the honeybees.

They were disappearing from their hives,

just flying away and not coming back.

Beekeepers across the country reported losing

anywhere from 30 to 90% of their beehives.

These losses were unprecedented, fast,

and no one knew what was causing it.

The strange phenomenon was dubbed colony collapse disorder,

and it soon got widespread coverage on major news outlets.

- Bee colonies have been dying off.

- Honeybees now in danger of disappearing.

- A massive, mysterious reduction in the bee population.

- What agriculture and scientists

continue to fear ...

- Is a phenomenon called ...

- Colony Collapse Disorder.

- Some of the biggest commercial beekeepers,

their industry may be on the brink of extinction.

- And this was cause for concern

because, for such a small insect,

honeybees have a huge impact on our food supply.

As honeybee colonies collapsed,

so too could our agriculture system.

Talk about a major buzzkill.

But despite years of panicked media coverage,

and the warnings of an imminent beepocalypse,

today the number of honeybee colonies

are the highest they've been in 20 years.

So, what happened?

How did we get the beepocalypse so wrong?

After picking up to stories

that bees were mysteriously vanishing,

the media was quick to declare disaster.

They imagined what life would be like without bees,

and warned that a beepocalypse was coming.

And in 2013, National Public Radio

declared we were hitting a crisis point for crops.

A share of the blame was given to everything

from genetically modified crops, and pesticides,

to even cellphones and wifi

messing with bees' sense of direction.

Major companies like Cheerios and Haagen-Dazs

launched save the bee campaigns,

and even the Obama administration

developed a national strategy

to promote honeybees and other pollinators.

- Oh no, it's a bee.

That's okay, guys.

Bees are good.

- So, why was there so much concern

about bees in the first place?

Well, because honeybees pollinate 1/3 of the foods we eat.

Over a hundred different kinds of fruits,

nuts, and vegetables rely on bees

and other pollinators to make them grow.

Every year, millions of bees are loaded

onto semis and trucks around the country,

from the blueberry fields of Maine

to the almond groves of California

to pollinate an estimated $15 billion worth of crops.

Hey, they don't call it "busy as a bee" for nothing.

But, as bees travel around the country,

they often come into contact

with things that can make them sick,

things like viruses, pesticides and parasites,

like the varroa mite, a nasty bloodsucker

that can devastate bee colonies.

It's believed that these stressors,

and perhaps some others, combined, are the likely cause

behind Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD.

And as bee losses continued,

it looked like we'd be forced to see

what life would be like without them.

But while the government worked on a national strategy

for pollination, and the media was crying disaster,

beekeepers quietly found a way to address the problem.

Honeybees are essentially livestock animals,

but unlike cattle they can replenish their numbers

very quickly.

Compared to the two to four calves

a cow might have in their lifetime,

queen bees can lay 1,500 eggs in a single day.

And commercial queen breeders

can rear large numbers of bees quickly

to meet increased demand.

Rebuilding hives is nothing new for beekeepers.

Often, they'll split a hive into two

and buy a new queen bee for about $20.

The new hive can be ready to pollinate after a few weeks.

Beekeepers can also simply buy bees

to replenish their hives.

A package of 12,000 bees costs about $100.

Beekeepers can recoup these extra costs

from the pollination fees they charge farmers.

And it seems to be working.

Despite losses from CCD, beekeepers have grown

honeybee colonies to their highest number in 20 years.

So, while CCD continues to perplex scientists,

there doesn't seem to be any imminent danger

that the honeybees will go extinct.

The good new is reports of CCD

have been declining in recent years, and that's great,

because honeybees are vitally important

to the diversity of our food supply,

and that's something we should appreciate,

even when they're not in the headlines.

But it seems clear that all the media buzz

over Colony Collapse Disorder,

and the warnings of an imminent beepocalypse

and a world without bees turned out to be totally wrong.

BREAKING!!

HELP CATCH THEM!!!

They BRUTALLY Tortured Someone's Pet!

Baltimore Police are asking for help in investigating the whereabouts of five teenage boys caught

in surveillance video footage depicting horrific cruelty upon a cat stemming from an incident

on December 16, 2017.

The city police say this group of people go well beyond just being teenagers and the video

is highly disturbing and graphic in nature.

The group of teens lit a cat on fire with cigarette lighters and beat it with a cinderblock.

Animal Control was eventually called to the scene at the 5100 block of Harford Road in

the northeast part of Baltimore, where the cat was pronounced dead.

Police have posted the video on YouTube and we've included it below.

Viewers are warned that some may consider the video to be graphic.

Neighbors asserted that incidents of this caliber occur frequently, with many transpiring

during school hours.

One of the suspects is said to be no older than 14 years old.

Baltimore Police Department reported by way of Facebook –

Detectives are investigating a case of animal cruelty that occurred in Northeast Baltimore.

On December 16, 2017, at approximately 4:30pm, a group of suspects assaulted and then set

a cat on fire in the 5100 block of Harford Road.

Animal Control was called to the scene where the cat was pronounced deceased.

Images of the suspects were obtained from a surveillance camera in the area.

Anyone with information on the identity of the suspects is asked to call detectives at

443-681-0101 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.

"I have fear, even though they're teenagers, when I come across them or see them, I just

feel something inside," a woman who lives in the neighborhood told WBAL-TV.

"I saw five kids out in the back.

They were poking a cat right next to my property with sticks, cigarette lighters and they threw

a cinder block onto the cat, and I was like 'Oh my god.'"

The woman who lives nearby who did not want to be identified said she saw them smiling

and laughing while abusing the animal and called the police.

"The cat had to be alive because they wouldn't be poking it and sticking lighters and everything

to it if it wasn't alive," the woman said.

The surveillance video shows the teens throwing cinder blocks at the cat's head, lighting

it on fire with cigarette lighters, and tossing it around with sticks.

The people we talked to didn't want to be identified but say the teens have been causing

trouble for months.

"Damaging people's property hanging outside of the 7/11 and stores like that I don't

know where the parents are and I think they are partly responsible for these cats being

killed like this," One neighbor said.

It goes beyond kids being kids.

"I don't think it's kids being kids, I think it's the parents not looking at

these groups of kids that's hanging together," said a witness.

"To me, it's like a babysitter that they're letting these kids go out in groups and they

figure they're alright and they don't know what they're doing,"

The neighbor said she hasn't seen them get aggressive towards other people, but this

disregard for life is troubling.

"When they start killing animals next they start killing people."

She hopes this story gets to them, and their parents.

"I would tell them to try to have respect for other people and their property.

Matter fact I'd ask them would you want your mother's home to be treated like this

I actually said that to them,"

According to the Baltimore Sun –

The department is already under a federal consent decree demanding reform after findings

of unconstitutional policing.

The agency was rocked this year by revelations of a corrupt Gun Trace Task Force accused

of robbing people and planting evidence.

Baltimore suffered 343 homicides in 2017 — the second most in a single year, and the most

per capita in city history.

More than 1,000 people were shot last year.

A police department that has been

Baltimore ended 2016 with the second-highest number of murders per capita in its history,

reports say.

Meanwhile, the number of officers dropped another 6.1 percent in 2016.

Since 2014, the force has seen hundreds of officers leave the job.

At the end of 2014, the city had a 2,805-officer force, but there were only 2,634 officers

at the end of 2015.

By the closing days of 2016, that number had fallen to 2,445 officers, according to Yahoo

News.

Not only has political pressure due to various department prosecutions hit morale hard, but

budget cuts, even in the face of rising crime, have also put a crimp in the department.

With the political and media scrutiny, Baltimore officers have felt like they are "walking

on eggshells."

"All of us are walking on eggshells.

What's the next explosive thing that's going to set the powder keg off?

What's the next matchstick?" president of the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police

Lt. Gene Ryan told the Baltimore Sun.

"If society wants us to be a softer police department, you have to be careful what you

wish for."

The worst pressure began after the death of suspect Freddie Gray in 2015.

The man's death while in police custody sparked months of riots and property destruction,

all masking a sharp rise in crime rates, including murder.

What we don't teach kids about sex | Sue Jaye Johnson - Duration: 7:20.

I remember my aunt brushing my hair when I was a child.

I felt this tingling in my stomach,

this swelling in my belly.

All her attention on me,

just me.

My beautiful Aunt Bea,

stroking my hair with a fine-bristled brush.

Do you have a memory like that that you can feel in your body right now?

Before language,

we're all sensation.

As children, that's how we learn

to differentiate ourselves in the world -- through touch.

Everything goes in the mouth, the hands, on the skin.

Sensation --

it is the way that we first experience love.

It's the basis of human connection.

We want our children to grow up to have healthy intimate relationships.

So as parents,

one of the things that we do is we teach our children about sex.

We have books to help us,

we have sex ed at school for the basics.

There's porn to fill in the gaps --

and it will fill in the gaps.

(Laughter)

We teach our children "the talk" about biology and mechanics,

about pregnancy and safe sex,

and that's what our kids grow up thinking that sex is pretty much all about.

But we can do better than that.

We can teach our sons and daughters about pleasure and desire,

about consent and boundaries,

about what it feels like to be present in their body

and to know when they're not.

And we do that in the ways that we model touch, play,

make eye contact --

all the ways that we engage their senses.

We can teach our children not just about sex,

but about sensuality.

This is the kind of talk that I needed as a girl.

I was extremely sensitive,

but by the time I was an adolescent,

I had numbed out.

The shame of boys mocking my changing body

and then girls exiling me for,

ironically, my interest in boys,

it was so much.

I didn't have any language for what I was experiencing;

I didn't know it was going to pass.

So I did the best thing I could at the time

and I checked out.

And you can't isolate just the difficult feelings,

so I lost access to the joy, the pleasure, the play,

and I spent decades like that,

with this his low-grade depression,

thinking that this is what it meant to be a grown-up.

For the past year,

I've been interviewing men and women about their relationship to sex

and I've heard my story again and again.

Girls who were told they were too sensitive, too much.

Boys who were taught to man up --

"don't be so emotional."

I learned I was not alone in checking out.

It was my daughter who reminded me of how much I used to feel.

We were at the beach.

It was this rare day.

I turned off my cell phone,

put in the calendar, "Day at the beach with the girls."

I laid our towels down just out of reach of the surf

and fell asleep.

And when I woke up,

I saw my daughter drizzling sand on her arm like this,

and I could feel that light tickle of sand on her skin

and I remembered my aunt brushing my hair.

So I curled up next to her

and I drizzled sand on her other arm and then her legs.

And then I said, "Hey, you want me to bury you?"

And her eyes got really big and she was like, "Yeah!"

So we dug a hole

and I covered her in sand and shells

and drew this little mermaid tail.

And then I took her home and lathered her up in the shower

and massaged her scalp

and I dried her off in a towel.

And I thought,

"Ah. How many times had I done that --

bathed her and dried her off --

but had I ever stopped and paid attention

to the sensations that I was creating for her?"

I'd been treating her like she was on some assembly line

of children needing to be fed and put to bed.

And I realized

that when I dry my daughter off in a towel tenderly the way a lover would,

I'm teaching her to expect that kind of touch.

I'm teaching her in that moment about intimacy.

About how to love her body and respect her body.

I realized there are parts of the talk that can't be conveyed in words.

In her book, "Girls and Sex,"

writer Peggy Orenstein finds

that young women are focusing on their partner's pleasure,

not their own.

This is something I'm going to talk about with my girls when they're older,

but for now, I look for ways to help them identify what gives them pleasure

and to practice articulating that.

"Rub my back," my daughter says when I tuck her in.

And I say, "OK, how do you want me to rub your back?"

"I don't know," she says.

So I pause, waiting for her directions.

Finally she says, "OK, up and to the right,

like you're tickling me."

I run my fingertips up her spine.

"What else?" I ask.

"Over to the left, a little harder now."

We need to teach our children how to articulate their sensations

so they're familiar with them.

I look for ways to play games with my girls at home to do this.

I scratch my fingernails on my daughter's arm and say,

"Give me one word to describe this."

"Violent," she says.

I embrace her, hold her tight.

"Protected," she tells me.

I find opportunities to tell them how I'm feeling,

what I'm experiencing,

so we have common language.

Like right now,

this tingling in my scalp down my spine means I'm nervous and I'm excited.

You are likely experiencing sensations in response to me.

The language I'm using,

the ideas I'm sharing.

And our tendency is to judge these reactions

and sort them into a hierarchy:

better or worse,

and then seek or avoid them.

And that's because we live in this binary culture

and we're taught from a very young age to sort the world into good and bad.

"Did you like that book?"

"Did you have a good day?"

How about, "What did you notice about that story?"

"Tell me a moment about your day.

What did you learn?"

Let's teach our children to stay open and curious about their experiences,

like a traveler in a foreign land.

And that way they can stay with sensation without checking out --

even the heightened and challenging ones --

the way I did,

the way so many of us have.

This sense education,

this is education I want for my daughters.

Sense education is what I needed as girl.

It's what I hope for all of our children.

This awareness of sensation,

it's where we began as children.

It's what we can learn from our children

and it's what we can in turn remind our children

as they come of age.

Thank you.

(Applause)

Tremco's Product Training in Chile - Duration: 1:16.

We decided to go to Santiago, Chile and conduct both a presentation and hands-on

training. We had glazing, waterproofing and we did a little bit of roofing. We

discussed some of the finer points of the application to make sure that we do

the little things til we have success in these markets. It's a big benefit for

these training sessions is not only does the contractor get face to face time

with us, it helps us develop the relationship with these customers.

Different geographical areas have different ways of doing things and

understanding some of their challenges, because when you hear it over the phone it's one

thing, but to actually walk in their shoes for a short amount of time and

understand the people that they're dealing with. Talk to the contractors, the

spec writers, the architects, the engineers and find out really what they

need from a product line point of view. It sheds a light to make us all better as

an organization as Tremco and to make our installers better.

Nintendo Switch Online WILL be A LOT better than you think - Duration: 11:30.

I knoooowww how DARE they charge $20 for Nintendo Switch's online multiplayer.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD AT ONLINE!

HAVE YO PLAYED MARIO KART????

20 WHOLE US DOLLARS A YEAR!

THAT'S LIKE, 5 CENTS A DAY!

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TAFFY I COULD'VE BEEN BUYING WITH THAT BACK IN 1946??….

me either…

POINT IS, IT'S EVIL!

EVIL!

HEY!

I FINALLY GOT A NEW CAPTURE CARD!

I'm gonna stream at some point in the next few days so I'd suggest clicking the bell

or the star on YouTube Gaming to know when.

The plan is to play Splatoon 2 with you guys (sponsors get priority so if you're sponsored

be sure you're there if you wanna play!

Also!

We have new emotes!

Sponsor for those too.

Ok.

On to the viiiiideeeoooo

Switch Online has EASILY been the biggest Switch mystery since it was officially revealed

and the service was announced back in January of last year.

Amongst other things, that event wasn't exactly the best info dump in recent memory,

but, the saving grace for those other things is that they have all received SIGNIFICANTLY

clearer explanations since then if not, they've been fully released by now.

Switch Online was SUPPOSED to be out by now, but, Switch is just as an abstract concept

to us as it was then.

When they first announced it, we had no price, no definitive window, and we had a pitch for

the additional PS Plus/Games with Gold like incentives.

Thing is, the only thing that we've learned FOR SURE in VERY clear language is the pricing

model.

Which, I'll get to toward the end.

THAT is actually the most important piece to this puzzle I think.

In fact, I think some of gamers most hated things will be powerful tools in our effort

to drag Nintendo into the 21st century when it comes to online play.

More on that later.

First, let's get into what we know, and, kind of already have.

The Online Lounge.

This is something that we sort of have access to in a limited beta like form where for a

limited time EXCLUSIVELY for Splatoon 2 you can chat, set up matches, buy exclusive gear,

view stats, check upcoming events and stage changes, pick splat test teams,and judge your

friends for their stupid decisions.

This will clearly be expanded on and changed on a game to game basis and I think with the

right approach coming from both 1st and 3rd parties

Nintendo's app description says "The Nintendo Switch Online app is designed to help enhance

your online gameplay experience on Nintendo Switch.

With this app, you can check game-specific services (e.g., SplatNet 2 for Splatoon 2),

invite friends to play with you via social media, and use voice chat while gaming."

Everybody HATES this.

& I can understand why.

I personally don't care because I've always used discord and before voice clients like

Skype to play online games with friends.

Most people though, I imagine have grown accustom to what the other guys do, allow for voice

chat through the system itself.

& that's fair enough, there's no real reason why Nintendo CAN'T do that.

The system has the functionality already built into certain games like Splatoon supporting

it locally.

Hell, Wii U could even use voice chat for certain games.

The only thing I think stopping Nintendo is their desire to police things like that.

My guess is that Nintendo's rationale is they don't want kids to be exposed to the

to random people they may play with unless they have VERY deliberate permission to do

so otherwise.

ESPECIALLY since now you can pretty easily get a link to a match from a streamer or some

other internet personality.

There's of course an argument against that.

Arguments I'm sure I'll see in the comments anyway, so, go for it.

You tell ME why Nintendo's dumb for this part.

Discord, in particular, has thrown their hat in the ring to take the reigns for Nintendo's

voice chat system, & I for one am 1000% on board for that.

As I said, I use discord anyway so to be able to give users that want to use the Switch

as their passthrough for voice chat via a Discord developed API can easily chat with

people like me that prefer using a more dedicated professional setup.

Do I think Nintendo will do this?

Meh?

Who knows?

There seems to be a shakeup over at Nintendo of sorts.

They're a lot more open to collaboration.

So, maybe?

Also, in the same vain people also seem to want an achievement system.

I'm not the type of player to chase that sort of thing, so, let me know why that matters

in the comments to.

Something I DO have personal investment in is the Classic Game Service they mentioned

and proceeded to confuse us all about.

Initially, the announcement was they'd release NES and potentially SNES games with online

multiplayer functionality.

These games would be taken away at the end of every month.

I can see a usage case for this being that everyone has a limited time to play that would

inflate the online player base for whatever game they released.

Kinda like how Online Betas typically function.

Only, more functional than that.

I would've hoped at least.

FORTUNATELY, Nintendo seems to have changed their tune on this particular feature.

They're now saying these games will go on to live in a dedicated library of games a

kin to a Netflix or more relevant to this industry, PS Now, but, my assumption is that

it'll function more like Xbox's Game Pass.

I can't imagine Nintendo has any interest in streaming games from the cloud like Sony.

It hasn't seemed to have really paid off for anyone yet.

This Classic Game Collection will be games you can download and play for as long as you're

a Switch Online subscriber.

That's an improvement to their online service they ALREADY made after hearing the feedback.

Nintendo Switch Online will run us $4 for a one-month subscription, $8 for a three-month

subscription OR $20 for the year.

This is the biggest point of contention amongst longtime Nintendo fans, lapsed fans, and new

fans alike.

No one wants to pay money for a thing they used to get for free after all.

HOWEVER, THIS is the biggest reason why I'm POSITIVE Switch Online will at the VERY least

be reliable.

The cash incentive will help tremendously.

It always has and it always will.

Up until now… or…

I guess… up until some time this year…

Nintendo has treated online play like that thing they know everyone wants them to get

around to, but, aren't really too eager to do.

They've flirted with online play for some time now, even spanning back to the Famicom

WAAAY back in 1988 with what they called the Famicom Net System or Famicom Modem.

In fact, Nintendo used that experience to incorporate an online service of some sort

for every one of their systems since then.

SNES had Satelliview, N64 had Randnet via 64DD, Gamecube… didn't have a BRANDED

service, but it did support it, & I'm sure we know what they did from there with Wii,

& Wii U.

None of these things were GREAT but, none of these things required an international

subscription model in a world where people have expectations for that market.

Nintendo will not be able to sweep bad performance under the rug for a service people are paying

for.

Just like Sony couldn't when people started paying for Playstation Plus and later had

to pay an increased price.

Xbox Live costed money from the door and as a result has stood heads and shoulders above

all other services for some time now.

I believe this trend will hold true for Nintendo.

Fans can yell about Nintendo's online services all they wanna when they aren't paying for

it.

Nintendo will always brush the bulk of those complaints off due to it being an additive

thing that doesn't add to their core business.

Having paying customers that have superior alternative options will force them to improve.

That's how capitalism works.

If they don't improve, people won't pay.

Wii U proved that.

Not to mention the fact that Nintendo seems to really be putting an emphasis on online

multiplayer already.

Most of their 2017 1st party offering was comprised of online multiplayer games.

This is new thing for them.

Trust me.

I know.

We're no strangers to shaking our fist at Nintendo for not including online play in

their plans.

Click the Mario Party video in the in the cards for proof.

That video is VINTAGE FanatixFour.

Ooooold school.

But yeah, it was a different Nintendo.

We have a renewed Nintendo moving into 2018.

One that even cares about third parties and has a platform that third parties perform

well on.

third parties that very clearly have their eyes locked on online play & games as a service

on EVERY other platform.

Do you REALLY think they'd let Switch be the one platform they DON'T try to utilize

this tactic on?

It's easily the belle of the ball.

Skipping out on it would be a crime and I'm sure publishers know that.

They'll be pressuring Nintendo to step up their services more than anyone.

& Nintendo may not have ALWAYS listened to third parties but that's changed in recent

years.

Even in the days of Wii U 3rd parties were able to convince Nintendo to swap out the

GamePad's circle pads from the original concept in favor of clickable analog sticks.

Granted, they obviously didn't include them as much in the considerations as Sony or Microsoft

usually do when creating their new platforms.

Or even as much as they must have with Switch, but, it was a start.

& I think we can all agree that it wasn't a nonstarter they have been cooperating with

outside parties more and more ever since.

Funnily enough, given recent controversies, I think games as a service will be another

ally in this fight.

Not because NINTENDO wants to utilize those tactics, but, their partners sure do.

With enough pressure from them I am COMPLETELY sure we will eventually see Nintendo make

a concerted effort toward modernizing their approach to online play.

At the end of the day, Playstation was in a similar boat as Nintendo at the tail end

of last generation.

Actually, I'd argue they had it WORSE & my bank would agree.

The hack didn't do their online reputation any favors.

& look at THEM now.

There's even cases where PSN handles certain games better than Xbox Live.

That is entirely because of Sony making online play a priority.

If Sony can do it.

Nintendo can do it.

But those are MY thoughts.

What do YOU think?

Will Switch Online follow this trend of modernization that Nintendo has been on with the Switch

thus far?

Will it take people paying for a while like PSN did?

Or will it be straight garbage forever?
