Waching daily May 15 2017

Hi!

I'm Hazel, and this is my list of 12 creatures from WoW that I think should be made into

mounts.

There's no real reason to think that these will happen, but there's ALSO no reason to

think that they WON'T!

All of the models are in the game already, so I can dream.

#12: Bunnies.

This is a favourite of mine.

In pets, we've got dust bunnies, pink egg bunnies, bloody murder bunnies and celestial

bunnies.

So when do we get a big bunny we can ride around on?

Rabbits got a model update in Legion and they're looking EXTRA cute now.

Slap a saddle on a big bunny and my gnome will ride nothing else for months.

I could totally see this being a Kirin Tor mount as a sort of failed-mage-experiment

dealio.

Anyways, I want it.

Gimme a bunny.

#11: Blighthawks.

Remember these things?

They're all over the Plaguelands.

They could re-use the animations and even the base model of the Raven Class mount rogues

are getting and just give it a bandagey, skin-less, uh, skin.

Imagine how cool you would look as an Undead flapping around on a Blighthawk.

If they ever added racial flying mounts, they could totally give these to Undead and as

an Alliance I would be suuper jealous.

#10: Crabs.

On a basic level, crabs aren't that exciting but think of all the model variants that we

already have.

We have moonshell crabs, ghost crabs, big armored stabby crabs, and I could have sworn

somewhere there was a crab holding a fork.

My idea here is that they could be a combo land-swimming mount that does normal ground

mount speed on land, and swimmer mount speed under water.

Maybe it could even do ground mount speed on the ocean floor.

I think the whole idea has a lot of potential and I hope that one day we meet our crabby

steeds.

#9: Moths.

So back at the racial flying mount idea, Draenei would totally rock moth mounts.

I'm a little shocked that we have seventy thousand different moth battle pets and not

a single moth mount.

It would be cool if they left colored dust behind their wings like the fae dragon does

and they'd be pretty in armored or unarmored versions.

Maybe the model looks weird when blown up that big but I think they'd be nice.

#8: Sheep.

This is another species of critter that got a model update in Legion, and they look great

now.

They're so fluffy!

They've already got fantastic idle animations, and as long as they don't look too weird running

I think it'd be AWESOME.

We already have goats and a rooster mount, I don't think sheep are that much of a stretch.

#7: Turkeys.

The Pilgrim's Bounty holiday already gives us a rockin Turkey pet.

How cool would it be to find a big one we can ride?

It could be a Pilgrim's Bounty quest to go looking for a legendary giant turkey that

turns out to be a holiday WORLD BOSS who either drops or has a chance to drop a giant turkey

mount.

Yeah it would look kinda goofy but if you take all the goofy mounts out of WoW then

I don't wanna play anymore.

#6: A Mecha Spider Tank.

So this sounds kinda wacky but Trade Prince Gallywix ALREADY HAS ONE.

I've been looking for a good excuse to go take that guy out and stealing his ride is

as good as any.

He's not a very nice dude so by video game rules we can totally take his stuff.

There's a whole host of different mech-mount ideas beyond the sky golem and mechanostriders

we have now, but I really like the spider tank.

If we ever get to fight Trade Prince Gallywix in a raid, he BETTER drop his mount.

#5: Gargoyles.

I don't think we've seen these recently since the Legion brought out those big crazy fel

screamer things.

The Legion definitely used them back in the Attack on Hyjal, so maybe they just retired.

OR MAYBE they retreated from the Legion and formed their own faction!

MAYBE in Patch 9.3 one day we grind rep with a coalition of Gargoyles all Klaxxi style

and they grant us their firstborn to fly around as mounts.

Weirder things have happened.

#4: Fireflies.

After way too many hours spend grinding for the Firefly pet in Outland, I though I'd never

want to see one again.

Well, times change.

I'm a big fan of smaller flying mounts that don't completley black out the sky with their

wingspans.

Firefly mounts would be super cute!

The wing animation might be a bit spastic on a fully grown mount sized firefly but I

bet that could be sorted out.

#3: Deer/Gazelles.

Not like the new baby deer pets we got in Legion with the giant eyes- I have a feeling

those would be terrifying if they were huge.

I'm talking a rideable version of the unarmored Doe model.

The Gazelle is a very similar idea and they could potentially be Horde/Alliance counterparts.

The moose mounts and stag druids are a step in the right direction, but I'm looking for

something just a little bit more delicate.

I think deer make great sense as a ground mount and would love to see that added to

the game.

#2: A Scraps Style Skele Dog.

Getting Scraps as a new battle pet in 7.2 was the birthday present I never knew I wanted.

He's ferocious and frightening but at the end of the day, he's still a puppy!

The model seems very similar to the Legion Collector's Edition Felstalker mount, and

I think a lot of the same animations could be used.

It'd be cool to see more skele dogs make it into the game as mounts, maybe even in a variety

of colors.

Finally, my personal top pick for WoW creatures that should be mounts: SPOREBATS!

Bias alert: I friggin love Sporebats.

Back in the day before pets were account wide, I'd stall out for weeks in Zangarmarsh on

every character I ever leveled grinding Sporeggar rep for the Sporebat pet.

Something about their little spoon shaped wings and tail bloobles just does it for me.

I figure you could fly around on top of one a lot like a Nether Ray.

They're just so soothing and I hope we one day get a chance to collect more of them.

OR, they could make a sporebat PLUSH!

I don't know how the poor little guy would sit up but we could make it happen.

So, those are my top picks for WoW creatures that I'd like to see as mounts!

They seem to add mounts to the game at a pretty good rate so I think there's definitely hope

for at least some of these.

Thanks for watching!

Let me know what you think, please consider leaving a like if you liked it and have a

wonderful, wonderful day!

Bye!

Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X (PS4) - REVIEW - A's GAMING moments - Duration: 5:49.

"Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X" was originally just "Resident Evil CODE: Veronica", released

in 2000 for the SEGA Dreamcast.

It came about when producer, Shinji Mikami, was trying to port "Resident Evil 2" over

to the SEGA Saturn, but he couldn't manage it.

So instead he decided to make a brand new game just for SEGA fans.

It was actually meant to be the third Resident Evil game, i.e.

"Resident Evil 3", with the PlayStation getting a separate spin off title- "Nemesis".

However Sony, being the superpower that it is, wanted its game to be the third major

title in the series and so, "Nemesis" became "Resident Evil 3: Nemesis" and the Dreamcast

game became the spin off, subtitled "CODE: Veronica".

It was well praised by critics, but after some pretty poor sales, probably because nobody

actually bought a Dreamcast, the game was re-released onto the Gamecube and PS2, had

an 'X' slapped onto it's title and here we are today, with it now available on the PS4.

So, now the history lesson's over- let's take a look.

Now while this may look like a traditional, old school Resident Evil game- I think that

this was actually the point in the series when 'action' really started to creep its

way in.

Sure you still, had ink ribbons and save rooms and careful resource management and tank controls.

Actually, speaking of tank controls, no matter how many times I've played these games, I

always spend the first couple of minutes either walking into walls or just spinning in circles.

But also In Code Veronica, you've got duel wielding sub machine guns.

Slow motion breaking through windows, as if it's straight out of a John Woo movie.

Globe trotting to Antarctica- if you thought that "Resident Evil 6" was the only time that

Chris flew a jet, think again.

There's secret agent rock climbing.

Oh and let's not forget that opening scene, where Claire is supposedly captured by a group

of guards, only to drop her gun in slow motion catch it mid air, shoot a barrel and boom,

kill everyone.

A little different to the cut scenes of the original game which were mainly just, running

away, talking, getting knocked over, talking.

That's not to say they didn't have action.

After all, every Resident Evil game ends in a slow motion rocket, blowing the enemy to

smithereens- just like out of a Rambo movie.

But typically they had a slower pace to them.

For example, let's compare the way that the first zombie is introduced in two games, first

in the original, then in "CODE: Veronica X".

In the original, Chris or Jill slowly walks up to a strange figure, making a weird noise.

Who is this guy and what the hell is he doing?

Then he slowly turns round to show his deformed zombie face, before slowly getting up to stumble

around.

There's no immediate rush or danger here, giving the whole situation time to really

sink in.

But in Veronica- kabloom!

There's an explosion, a zombie on fire.

Then out of the ground a million other zombies rise up surrounding Claire, so she's instantly

in the middle of a horde.

It all happens so quickly, that there's not a lot of time for the player to feel any of

the tension.

That's not to say that game doesn't have any scary parts though.

As Claire lumbers up steps, the controller slowly vibrates to her heart beat.

She has no idea what she's walking into.

And even at the top of the steps she has no idea, because she can't see round corners.

All she can do is listen.

Players too, lean into their TVs to try to figure out what's going on based upon the

strange sounds.

And when a player is drawn like this, using all of their senses- then it means that they're

fully immersed and more susceptible to a fright.

Unfortunately though, a lot of the horror is lost the second you hear the main bad guy's

laugh.

So the game sees the two Redfield siblings, Chris and Claire, united at last, to learn

some more about the origins of Umbrella.

It's an interesting enough story that feels a lot more epic than the previous games, in

the way that it's split up into different parts, shifting between different characters

and locations.

It does a great job of hitting players with nostalgia, returning not only to classic "Resident

Evil" locations, but also to areas that were explored at the beginning of the game at the

end, making it feel like one a long journey that's come full circle.

And that's a trick used by "Resident Evil" even up to this day.

"CODE: Veronica X" has a really weird add on called Battle Mode, where basically, there's

infinite ammo and players have to run through a series of rooms killing everything, as fast

as possible.

And it's even got a first person mode, which is unique, but brings back too many bad memories.

I'm not really sure why there's infinite ammo?

It takes away a lot of the skill and the careful resource management, the challenge of saving

the best weapons for the hardest parts.

Plus it's got some pretty tough trophies making that Platinum pretty difficult.

That's right this game does at least have a platinum .

"Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X" is one of the better games in the series, even if it's

not the most well known.

It's got that classic "Resident Evil" pacing, keeping players engaged by making them take

mental notes of the all the locked doors, so when they find a key, curiosity drives

them on as they have to know what's coming next.

And sure, it may not be the scariest game ever, but some of the best horror movies aren't

scary.

Instead, they captivate audiences with atmosphere and tension- drawing people in to their dark

and creepy world.

Thanks for watching.

Servant husband that does everything for the queen wife! [Hello Counselor / 2017.05.15] - Duration: 14:49.

We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.

National...

- Competition on Worries! / - Competition on Worries!

I'll introduce today's guests.

He's now a father. Please welcome Eli from U-Kiss.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

Please welcome Hani and Hyelin from EXID.

You're amazing.

- Yes. / - Welcome.

This will be aired on Parents' Day.

In your life, have you done something bad

to your parents? Do you want to talk about anything

- to your parents? / - My mom is very strict.

How strict was she?

For example, when I was in seventh grade,

my friends were going to watch a movie

after the first midterm.

I wanted to join them,

so I asked my mom, "Can I go to the movie theater?"

And she said, "Don't you dare."

She's very strict.

She didn't say, "Where are you watching it?"

- "Don't you dare." / - "Don't you dare."

In eighth grade, I became a little rebellious.

I said to her, "What have you done for me?"

She said, "How dare you say such a thing?"

She hit me with a bowl that had bibimbap inside.

- You got hit with a spoon. / - She's fierce.

- Gosh. / - I got hit with a brass bowl.

Some parents are very strict like that.

But not many hit their children with a brass bowl.

- And she's a daughter. / - Right.

But I am thankful to her. The reason

why I didn't become more rebellious

was because of the brass bowl and her harsh messages.

- Did you do anything sorry? / - First of all,

I'm sorry that I got married secretly.

- Did your parents not know? / - No.

- What? / - What?

- I got married unexpectedly. / - Did you

get married without telling your parents?

That's the worst thing you can do to your parents.

Really?

- So my mom said / - How...

I could marry her after the contract ends

- if I still love her then. / - Right.

But I was sure I was going to still love her.

- Your parents must have felt so sad. / - They were.

Kneel and apologize to your parents.

- Apologize to them. / - I am so sorry.

(But his family is really happy now.)

Goodness.

EXID's new song has a very unique title.

- It's called "Night Rather Than Day". / - It's lovely.

- Can you show us? / - Show us.

(Please show us the new song.)

("Night Rather Than Day" by EXID)

(At night, at night)

(Hello on Monday night)

(It's a collaboration of Hello and EXID.)

(It's a perfect night.)

We have three stories again today.

- Please reveal the keywords. / - Yes.

"Dear My Queen".

- "The Silent Son". / - "Nothing's Wrong with My Face".

I have mixed feelings about this.

Let's see how you feel about it.

Hello. I am a man in his 30s, married for 10 years.

Many wives have come out on Hello Counselor

because of their patriarchal husband.

But in my case, I am not the king.

I serve a queen.

(His wife is like a queen.)

- It's the opposite situation. / - Complete opposite.

- When my wife says, "Water." / - What?

"Water." "Food."

- That's crazy. / - "I'm hungry. Give me food."

- That's a worry. / - "Do the dishes and the laundry."

"Why don't you clean the house?"

I am unbelievably busy every day doing chores

and serving my wife.

Does his wife have a building?

"Honey, what do you want to eat today?"

"I want Chinese food. 1 jjajangmyeon and 1 jjamppong."

"But I want to eat fried rice."

"Just order 1 jjajangmyeon and 1 jjamppong."

"I married you because you're not gluttonous."

That's crazy.

I always have to eat whatever my wife wants.

This happens too.

(That's unbelievable.)

"It's already past nine. Let's sleep. Lights off."

"I need to check something on my phone."

"Turn it off."

(Turn it off.)

- Don't let any light come out. / - Any.

I have to sleep whenever my wife goes to bed.

Why does she treat me like her servant?

I want to escape this now.

Please help me.

(He wants help to escape the servant life.)

He must have a lot to say. Let's meet him.

Please come on out.

(Who's the one who serves the queen?)

Hello.

(Kang Deokho)

(Welcome)

Do you really serve your wife like a queen?

Yes. I've been married to her for ten years.

You've been like that for ten years.

I do most of the chores.

(He's in charge of most of the chores.)

I do almost everything except for the laundry.

When she does the laundry, she washes dirty clothes

in the washer and takes them out. That's it.

So the washed clothes are just in one big pile.

- You have to hang it. / - You have to wash it again.

- That's the toughest. / - You hang them.

Hanging them and taking them down are the toughest.

(Is he really her servant?)

When she says, "Water," while lying down,

I get water and give it to her. That's fine.

But I have to wait until she finishes it

and take the empty cup to the sink.

Is she not well?

Does she own a building?

Yes. Recently...

Does she really own a building?

Well, yes.

She must really have a building.

- No. No. / - Does she really have one?

No. No. That's not it.

- Does your wife have a building? / - No.

The worry is resolved.

(He will be her servant for life.)

You have to listen to her then.

What if she really has a building?

That's not it. We worked hard

- Really? / - and bought a house.

- You bought a house. / - And it's under her name.

- It's registered under her name. / - It's hers.

- Goodness. / - Does your wife work

and do you stay home?

I used to work too in the past.

But she had a dream of selling

the clothes she designed.

She was interested in the clothing business.

She suddenly started the clothing business.

I was doing well at work.

But she told me to quit, so I quit.

And I'm working with her now.

You run the business together.

- Yes. We work together. / - She said,

"Quit your job and come to me." And you did that?

Yes.

(Of course I should.)

Why would you do that?

Do you really have to sleep when she wants to sleep?

But what does it mean?

Are you talking about...

Gosh.

What?

You could stay in the living room while she sleeps.

I want to sleep next to her.

I want to be next to her.

- You want that. / - Yes.

I want us to sleep in the same room.

I could go to the living room and get things done.

But I want to

- be with her. / - You must really love her.

Can't you watch TV when she's asleep?

She wakes up when I rustle even a bit.

- Does she scold you when she wakes up? / - Yes, a lot.

- When you rustle... / - You get scolded a lot.

I guess you rustle a lot.

(I don't like being scolded.)

Have you never ordered what you want to eat?

When ordering Chinese food, I've already decided

to get fried rice, and she decides to get jjajangmyeon.

If she's not sure between jjamppong, I must order that.

I'm fine with that.

She'd taste my dish and if it's better, I must switch.

(What a tragedy.)

When we eat clam kalguksu,

she eats the clams only.

She eats all the clams in my dish first.

Clams are the most expensive ingredient of the dish.

Yours would be an ordinary kalguksu.

- Yes. / - It's no longer clam kalguksu.

- It's just noodles. / - It's simple kalguksu.

We better listen to his wife as well.

- That's right. / - That's how it always is.

- Let's meet his wife. / - I think she'll be so pretty.

Hello.

- Hello. / - Hello.

She is beautiful.

She's very cute.

Do you feel your husband's worry?

I do understand him, but I need to do what I want.

- There's nothing I can do. / - You're a bit selfish.

It's not just a bit. She's very selfish.

I said, "a bit" because I met her for the first time.

Getting yourself water is different from being selfish.

You can pour it yourself.

Getting some water is a trivial task.

You get water without a problem.

Wouldn't it be weird to say, "No, go get it yourself"?

I get what you mean. He could get you water,

but why must he wait until you finish drinking

and bring the cup back to the sink?

I have to put the cup down after drinking water.

- Then... / - You could bring it back yourself.

Then I might as well go get water myself.

(My goodness!)

(Chanwoo is completely defeated.)

I lost.

(Laughing)

(I'm the queen.)

Have you ever asked her to get you some water?

- No. / - Not once?

That's right.

(I only attend to my wife.)

Your husband does most of the housework.

You don't even do the laundry properly.

Laundry...

I don't want to use

my energy to such thing.

- You're too lazy. / - You're a housewife though.

When I can't do it, I ask him to do it for me.

Isn't it possible for him to do it for me?

- Earlier... / - It happens every time though.

Yes, every time.

Do you think it's natural for him to do what you want?

I don't think it's natural, but he caters to me well.

- That's why I got used to it. / - Exactly...

- Gosh. / - It's just

that your wife is the one wearing pants in your family.

When you're having an intimate time with your wife,

do you do whatever your wife asks you?

What are you asking him?

Did you get his question?

Dongyeop asked what he was most curious about.

I'm a typical blood type A.

When I show my affection about ten times,

I want her to show me her love at least once.

However, she's quite inattentive about that.

Your wife doesn't express her love a lot.

- That's right. / - Your wife.

If somebody is beside you when you make tea,

- you'd ask if they want some. / - You'd ask.

When she wants tea, she makes tea for herself only.

- Alone? / - Yes.

When she does the dishes, she looks lovely...

More than how she looks from the front?

(She looks lovelier from the back?)

She usually turns her back on me.

She usually turns her back on you?

- How lonely. / - I'd hug her from the back.

- You hug her from the back. / - On dramas

or American movies,

wives turn their heads and express love.

That's not even what I wish, but she shakes me off.

- "Forget it!" / - "You're heavy!"

- That's... / - That's what you're upset about.

I think that's the main problem.

He does that every single day.

He always wants me to be cute and begs for my love.

- He's a romantic. / - He makes a move all the time.

Yes, yes.

What I'm upset about is

that I express love more often because I like her more,

but I sometimes wonder if she finds me embarrassing.

- What? / - I sometimes feel that way.

- Why? / - When you're outside?

My daughter's tutor comes about once or twice a week.

When she hears the tutor coming, she turns

the light off suddenly.

She hides me so the tutor can't see me.

Why?

Continue.

When she invites her friends over, I must leave home.

I have to go to an internet cafe to kill time.

I got a new cell phone recently since my old one broke.

I happened to call my phone with my wife's phone.

I wasn't even saved on her phone.

- You weren't saved? / - Only the number was shown?

- Only your number was shown. / - Without a name.

Only my phone number was showing.

- I saw if I was the only unsaved one. / - You must

- have been upset. / - All her clients were saved.

- I was the only unsaved one. / - You're her husband.

- There was no name either? / - No.

- Why didn't you save it? / - Did he change his number?

Why did you not save his number with his name?

I recognize my husband's number, so I pick it up.

I memorize his number, so there's no need to save it.

You saved other people's numbers though.

That's because I could forget their numbers.

(That's because I could forget their numbers.)

- It makes sense. / - She's got a point.

It does, right?

She totally memorizes your number.

(This is not what I planned.)

When the tutor visits your place,

- you turn off the light. / - It's hilarious.

Do you wish your tutor not to see

your husband?

- It's the easiest way / - The awkward vibe.

- to avoid an uncomfortable vibe. / - You block him.

What about kicking him out when you have friends over?

My husband needs to go out when my friends come anyway.

Can't he just stay?

- If he stays, it's a bit weird. / - I have a question.

Do you also leave when your husband's friends come?

His friends don't come to my place.

Aren't you telling him not to bring his friends over?

- Excuse me? / - You're not allowing him, are you?

- I think she won't allow him. / - That's not it.

I think he has no friends.

(He nods.)

That's the answer.

When I have time, I try my best to be

- with my family. / - He's a family man.

Don't you want to meet your friends?

You can enjoy an alcoholic drink with your friend.

I don't drink alcohol.

- Recently... / - You don't smoke either, right?

I quit smoking.

- You don't drink alcohol. / - That's right.

You do the dishes, do the laundry and make food.

Do you want him to go out and meet his friends?

Yes, I want us to do our stuff well on our own.

However, he focuses his sole attention on me.

It'd be nice to do our stuff well on our own,

but the problem is that she only does what she wants.

Everything she doesn't want to do is left with me.

- She wanted to drive a foreign car. / - The small one.

She wanted one, so she signed the contract right away.

She didn't take care of the car and made it very dirty.

Like an off-road car.

All the holders had cups from months ago.

- There were cigarettes too. / - She doesn't smoke.

I'm just kidding.

The snack my daughter spilled in the car had molds.

I couldn't keep watching it,

- so I washed the car myself. / - You washed the car.

I thought you wanted to be responsible for your task.

Aren't men supposed to wash cars and take care of them?

- You got molds inside. / - You should clean them.

You could've taken them out, but you didn't.

We're both working.

My husband mostly works on his computer.

I have to make clothes myself,

so I often ask him to do little things.

- You think you work more than your husband? / - Yes.

I work much more.

I really acknowledge my wife's skills.

She's full of drive. However, I have to take care of

- the rest. For example, / - He takes care of the rest.

she makes spring clothes

- around May. / - I see.

- She tells me to sell them. / - It's already summer.

- That's what happens. / - I must do the rest.

Did your wife do something for you in return?

Interest Rate Forecast for Europe & US 2017 | Erste Group - Duration: 4:11.

Welcome to an update on Western Macro.

The topic today: interest rates in both Europe and the United States.

You have a report coming out right now.

Yes indeed. We're going to issue our new interest rate outlook report

which covers interest rate and yield developments -

an analysis for the Eurozone and the US.

Let's start with the Eurozone. Where do you see the movements right now?

I think you had earlier this year... you predicted we will see a couple of moves already this year within the ECB is that still the case?

Well moves in a sense that they would already announce more clearly that...

Or let's put it this way: we originally [inaudible] that they would also cut their asset purchases in January 2018.

Here we have become more skeptical and now we see the most likely cut of asset purchases in April 2018.

So we moved it back by three months. The reason being that we had rather dovish statements

from a number of ECB officials - most importantly chief economist Praet.

Of course they didn't really put a clear guideline or a clear timeline for their actions.

But what we think was kind of written in between the lines was that they would rather still wait.

The crucial question will be, however, for the path of asset purchases will be if we see any progress of core inflation.

So core inflation - inflation excluding energy and and food. And core inflation is currently at around 1%.

And the ECB needs to see some progress of this numbers towards their medium-term inflation goal

of under but about close to 2%. So they need to see some movement there.

I'm not saying they need to reach 2%. Not by far.

But they need to see that something is moving in core inflation.

And we think that the data until September will not be sufficient.

That means we think they will delay their decision until December.

By then we think inflation should show enough signs of life to justify the decision.

And given that they always had... or before a three-month leading time

that if they make the decision in December that would mean then another three months that they

would reduce their asset purchases April 2018. We think from sixty to forty billion euros.

That's your take on the ECB. What do you think about Fed policy right now? Will there be another hike?

Yes indeed. We think for this year there will be another two hikes.

Where we differ with the market is about the timing.

We rather think that September for the next move is the most likely timing

given the rather poor economic data we have seen for the first quarter.

The numbers for April - the first month of the second quarter - are good but maybe not good enough really

to compensate for the poor first quarter.

But overall we think two hikes. So this is in line with the median [inaudible] FOMC.

The market expects one hike and gives another hike this year a 50% chance.

So generally I'd say the expectations are pretty close together.

Again where we differ is the timing.

The report is coming out today, right?

The German version is coming out today and the English version will come out by the mid of the week.

Thank you, thanks for your time. See you next week!

A son that hasn't been speaking with his father for 10 years [Hello Counselor / 2017.05.15] - Duration: 10:56.

This is a frustrating worry.

Hello, I am a dad in my 60s with grown-up sons.

My son is responseless.

When I go home after work, I say, "I am home."

Then my son goes to his room and slams the door.

"Son, I am home."

No matter how much I knock, he doesn't open the door.

He has refused to talk to me for over ten years.

(He has refused to talk to me for over ten years.)

A decade passed without a conversation.

My wife tried to help.

"Answer your dad. He is talking to you."

"What do you want me to say? Leave me alone."

It doesn't look like he is acting.

Are you mad at me?

"Leave me alone!"

- I think he is serious. / - The role suits him.

I can hear his voice only in that circumstance.

It's miserable and sad.

Is my son looking down on me because I incompetent?

I want to knock on the door of my son's heart today.

Please help.

(Please help my son talk to me.)

He gathered his courage.

I once didn't talk to my dad for three months.

- Why not? / - Do daughters do that, too?

I was hurt by his brusque comments.

When I sang, he said, "She must be crazy."

- It hurt my feelings. / - "What is she thinking?"

- Right. / - You were serious about your dream.

I think that's why I stopped talking to him back then.

- All right. / - Let's meet the man who sent the worry.

Please come on out.

(Who is frustrated by his silent son?)

(Lee Daehee)

(He slides down in an upright position.)

He is incredible.

- Please sit down over here. / - Welcome.

It has been a while since we had a dad send a worry.

We usually get moms and children.

It's meaningful to have a dad on Parents' Day. Welcome.

Welcome. Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I am a taxi driver, Lee Daehee.

- It's nice to meet you. / - Welcome.

(Good luck.)

Does he refuse to say anything back?

When I go home after work,

he goes to his room and locks the door.

- He doesn't say, "Welcome back." / - No.

Usually, sons come and say, "Welcome back."

When I knock on the door to have a conversation,

he doesn't answer.

- He doesn't even answer. / - No.

In hopes of sharing a meal with him,

I would say, "Come out for dinner."

He takes his portion of the dishes

and goes back inside his room.

(Why does he do that?)

What does your son do in his room?

- He probably plays games. / - He plays computer games.

At night, he startles me awake.

He yells when he plays games, right?

- That's it. / - Did I imitate him perfectly?

(Did I imitate him perfectly?)

(Yelling)

(Yelling)

Since when did he behave that way?

I don't know. In middle school,

he started to talk less.

- He was going through puberty. / - Ten years passed.

Doesn't his big brother say,

"Be nice to Dad"? What does his big brother say?

He is the same.

(He can't talk to his eldest son either.)

- That's right. / - Do the brothers talk to each other?

- No, they don't. / - They don't talk to each other.

Do the sons and their mom talk?

They talk a little.

Does your eldest son live with you?

- He moved out a month ago. / - He moved out.

I haven't heard from him since then.

- He never called. / - No.

What is going on?

Has there been an incident?

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for them...

- to act that way. / - There must be a reason.

I don't know. Had I known, I would have made amends.

Do you have a hunch?

Have you thought, "Could this be the reason"?

I am not a competent man.

I don't have a way with words. Perhaps that's why.

(It's frustrating.)

Fortunately, the younger son is here. We hope...

the family would talk and make up. Hello.

- Hello. / - It's nice to meet you.

I am curious about your thought on the matter.

To be honest, I don't think it's a worry.

I don't know why I am here.

In that case, why are you here?

I came because the production team asked me to.

Your dad said you have refused to talk to him

- for almost ten years. It doesn't make sense. / - Why?

I don't want to talk to him.

You don't think it's a worry?

You don't even welcome him when he comes home.

How is that not a worry?

I play games often.

It's annoying when he asks me to eat repeatedly.

What about other instances?

When he comes home and says, "I am home,"

you don't answer.

You ignore him even when you aren't playing games.

I do ignore him even when I am not playing games.

It's more convenient...

- to mind my business. / - Isn't it uncomfortable

- not talking to your dad? / - I am very comfortable.

Now that you have grown up,

you find your parent a hassle.

- It makes your dad sad. / - It makes him very sad.

Why do you eat alone?

Dad chews food loudly. I don't want to hear it.

- He's loud? / - My goodness.

Some people chew food loudly.

That's why it's more convenient to eat in my room.

You must like being alone.

Do you find it inconvenient to eat with friends?

I don't have many friends.

It's better to be alone.

Which game do you play? How much do you play in a day?

I play games eight hours a day.

Why do you lock the door?

Is it to prevent your dad from walking in?

Ever since I was little, he entered without knocking.

Locking the door became a habit.

I have privacy.

That much is true.

What privacy?

Do you watch something your dad shouldn't see?

(Does he have a secret hobby?)

Dongyeop would know.

(I refuse to say more.)

His ears turned red.

(Dongyeop's ears are red.)

- All right. / - Your dad said

his incompetence could be the reason.

- It's heartbreaking. / - Most children

would clench their fists at those words.

Do you think his words are true?

There are times I am ashamed of his job.

- Why would you be ashamed? / - Go on.

Ever since my friends teased me about his job,

I was ashamed of his job.

- There is nothing wrong with his job. / - What jerks!

(This is my fault.)

You might have thought that in adolescence.

However, most people don't think that way in adulthood.

I try to think differently, but I am still ashamed.

Aren't you ashamed of playing games all day?

(Shouldn't you act differently if you know shame?)

(You should reflect on yourself!)

He said he has never had a conversation with his son.

Think about how your dad must feel.

He must feel pain worse than an awl to his lungs.

He is at a loss, but you don't even think it's a worry.

"I am comfortable. It's more convenient this way."

Do you have respect for your dad?

I respect that he works hard.

- That's right. / - You need to tell him that.

(He finally looks at his son.)

Is there a reason why you avoid conversations?

When I was in elementary school, he beat me

for failing to memorize the multiplication table.

- What? / - The multiplication table.

Afterwards, he suddenly apologized

and gave me a hug.

It was baffling.

- Do you remember the incident? / - I know

that emotional wounds can last a lifetime.

However, it makes my heart ache

- that it's still in his mind. / - It's heartbreaking.

Hani said earlier that she was beaten

with a brass bowl by her mom.

She is a woman, too.

Now, she is thankful for her mom's strict ways.

There were worse beatings.

There were more.

- You should be a delinquent. / - If I failed

to clean my bag, she would make me bring it out

and count the trash inside. If there were 64 pieces,

I got 64 hits.

When the stick broke, she brought another one.

My mom always gave me a hug

- after a beating of love. / - She felt sorry.

- That's disciplining. / - A carrot and stick effect.

- That's right. / - My mom beat me

- many times with a hanger. / - My mom did the same.

That's why I always had a bruise

in the shape of a question mark on my thigh.

- Then she always gave me a hug. / - That's nothing.

A stick? A hanger? I was beaten with a frozen pollack.

(Do you know the taste of a frozen pollack?)

A frozen pollack!

I was beaten with a frozen pollack.

Even the same experience

can leave different wounds in people's hearts.

That's right.

However, it can't be the only reason

- why you remain silent. / - It doesn't make sense.

Some people find it hard to do something

they haven't done for a long time.

- Let's hear from his mom. / - She must have suffered.

Hello.

- Hello. / - Hello, ma'am.

(Hello)

Why do you think your son behaves this way?

The topic makes me upset.

He is obsessed with games.

He works part-time jobs to spend money on games.

When he doesn't have enough money,

he makes a mobile payment.

He once spent 3,000 dollars

on a mobile payment.

- 3,000 dollars? / - Yes.

I am ashamed of you.

We are already struggling to get by.

Doesn't he earn money?

He can't stand difficulties in life.

He spends his parents' money frivolously.

- He doesn't value it. / - He acts like it's his own.

- Has he completed his military service? / - Yes.

He took time off from school. He became crazy

after he completed his military service.

He became obsessed with games.

Most men mature

after their military service. Why do you spend money

so frivolously?

I was playing a game when I lost an item.

I became angry and made a payment without thinking.

I felt bad,

but I couldn't stop myself.

You are mean.

It must feel dreary at home

because of their strained relationship.

What do you do?

Looking at them makes me so frustrated

and upset. When I talk to my son,

he doesn't listen.

- I end up lashing out / - You nag at your husband.

at my husband.

"Why can't you take care of your son?"

Pippa Middleton Slammed For Being Uglier Than Kate Middleton - Duration: 2:49.

Geez, how would you like to wake up to that headline if you�re Pippa Middleton? Karl

Lagerfeld is yet again ensuring that the Middleton sisters will never wear Chanel at a public

event by criticizing the future Queen of England�s sister�s face. Sometimes you just don�t

like people and Karl really, really doesn�t like Pippa. I can�t think of it this early

in the morning but there�s a movie where a guy says another guy has an asshole face.

Is that the next step for Karl? Will he finally stop bitching about her behind her back and

call her ugly to her face? Last year he gave Pippa the brilliant advice

to enter every room ass first. In a new clip from CNN�s Fashion: Backstage Pass he�s

asked by Anita Cho: �You did not like the face of Pippa Middleton?� and he replies,

�No, I think her sister looks better.� Now, still a douche, but as far as Karl comments

go that one�s about as tame as they get. Perhaps he�s warming? And it�s not like

he�s saying something most of the world doesn�t agree with. Kate is the country�s

darling and already being considered an icon. Pippa, on the other hand, has to work (insert

sad face emoticon here) while constantly hearing that she feeds off her sister�s perks and

popularity. Pippa will always be the evil ugly step sister in the media�s eyes. Kate

flashed her boobs and she�s still an innocent. But I don�t understand Karl. It�s got

to be his goal to get Kate in his clothes. He�s a egotistical fashion designer and

she�s the one everyone wants to dress. Why piss off her sister? How does that help things?

And why Kim Kardashian? Kim was seen working at Karl�s studio in Paris just recently

(you know the trip where Kanye fled to Milan?). How does Kim and all her famewhoring not bother

him? He even resisted a chance to rip on her when he was asked about her wearing his clothes.

He basically said anyone can wear whatever they want to wear. How did he not call her

fat?? If anyone is going to call Kimmy fat while pregnant you�d figure it would be

Karl Lagerfeld! But no. For some reason Kim is greater than Pippa in Karl�s eyes. I

just don�t get it! Is Pippa Middleton uglier than her sister?

Does it seem to be slowing her down any? tell us your thoughts in comments below. thanks

for watching. please like,subscribe and share my videos.

Cadyville Beach - Adirondack Paddling - Duration: 0:31.

Here we are at Cadyville Beach, which is located on the Saranac River.

Great for paddling because it offers a variety of challenges.

Right where we are, if you put in at Cadyville Beach, it's an easy paddle, not a lot of wind

and waves to worry about.

But if you get a little bit further you get 100 feet wide with some great varied terrains,

rougher currents and things like that.

So based on your experience, the Saranac River is a great option for every paddler.

What's a compound noun ? - Duration: 7:21.

hello everyone how are you today this

marc I'm doing great thanks for asking

so what do these words have in common

shoelace passerby sister-in-law seatbelt

if you want to know the answer

stay tuned because we're going to talk

about compound nouns right we're going to

talk about compound nouns and a noun is a

word that names a person an animal a

place an idea or a thing there can be

concrete or abstract nouns

a concrete noun is something that you

can touch for example a table a

whiteboard a house a fire an apple things

that you can touch an abstract noun is

for example nature love happiness they are

feelings ideas emotions quantities

things that you cannot touch they're

usually introduced with articles

indefinite or definite articles for

example an apple house a computer the

dog etc also they can be introduced

with possessive adjectives like my

suitcase his shirt etc and determiners

for example this class that plant etc I

said that we're going to talk about

compound nouns it's a fixed expression

made with more than one word so the

first rule to follow is that the first

part of the compound noun usually is a

purpose or kind I will give you some

examples later on the second part

usually is who or what the stress is on the

first syllable

so

WEEKend and not weekEND but WEEKend

and you can sometimes omit the second

word only after mentioning it first so

for example how often do you use your

personal computer ? personal computer here

is a compound noun right ? and I can

answer I use my computer every evening

so I don't need to mention personal

right so I just omit personal and I

just mention computer don't

forget that I used in this case the

possessive adjective my to identify

which computer I'm talking about now

some compound nouns are written with

hyphens

for example baby-sitter and here we have

a - or brother-in-law here we have - -

and letter-box these are examples and

there are a lot of them others can be

written with or without - for example

air conditioner you can write the - or

you can omit it living room okay with or

without the - some compounds that

consist of more than two words are

written partly with a hyphen and a space

for example back-seat and here we have

a - back-seat passenger no - we just

add a space mother-tongue

speaker for example

now obviously compound nouns can be

countable and uncountable and I listed

some countable ones blood donor here we

don't need a - blood donor bus stop car

park

uncountable ones further education so

we don't say further educationS but we

say further education do-it-yourself

fast-food and then the last one toilet

paper now I'm going to erase this and

I'm going to show you other points about

compound nouns actually I think is the

most important point in this lesson

right so we're back compound nouns are

made of two words usually but sometimes

more they're made up of a noun plus noun

for example housewife classmate

classroom etc then we have

adjective plus noun for example high

school old-age dining-room greenhouse

or noun plus verb rainfall train

spotting etc now plus adverb passer-by

runner-up or verb plus noun driving license

washing machine adverb plus noun

bystander for example and adjective plus

verb dry-cleaning

so now let's recap in this lesson we

talked about compound nouns but I first

started by describing what a noun is the

compound noun is a word made up of two

or more words put together there can be

noun plus noun adjective plus noun noun

plus verb noun plus adverb etc just like

nouns there can be countable or

uncountable compound nouns well that's

it for today thank you very much for

watching please subscribe to my channel

if you haven't subscribed yet you'll get

a new lesson next week don't forget to

share the lesson if you liked it and if

you want you can write your own exam

Preparing Run for Office. Mind. Body. Spirit. - Duration: 2:27.

In recent weeks I've mentioned there are certain things that should be done

to prepare yourself for a political campaign.

Today a brief summary.

Make sure you have scrubbed your biography and resume to ensure that it is

dead on accurate.

Two weeks ago I saw an otherwise promising candidate

felled because she exaggerated and embellished some of the items on her resume.

She learned the hard way that when you do that you will get caught, and you

will have a very bad day.

Get into the habit of starting your day by glancing at your local and statewide

newspapers.

Candidates running for office are expected to be current on the news,

well informed, and able to comment on almost any subject, including foreign policy, state

issues and matters of concern in their local community.

Dress the part.

For it is hard for your would be constituents to imagine you in public office if you don't.

Think of it this way.

If the pilot of the plane flying you to California showed up wearing a pink Floyd t-shirt, and

purple shorts, would you think twice about getting on the plane?

Candidates always need to be in uniform when they are in public.

Carefully go through your life history, the places you were raised, the people you know,

the teachers and college professors you had, the places you worked, the clubs and organizations

you belonged to.

You'll need to be in touch with some of those people before your campaign begins…to

ask for campaign contributions, quotes, testimonials or endorsements.

I'll add one more item too often ignored by candidates.

Eat balanced and regular meals, and do not stop feeding your spiritual self.

All members of the human race have mental, physical and spiritual needs.

If you allow one to starve, everything else goes out of whack.

Next week I am going to talk about something called your magnetic charisma.

It's inside of you, even if you think you don't have it.

I'll give you a little help on bringing out the best of yourself,

FirePUP: Firefighting Vehicle for Africa - Duration: 2:34.

PUP stands for "Purdue Utility Platform."

The PUP is essentially a basic utility

vehicle, designed to be cheap and

sourceable in foreign countries that don't

have a lot of access to transportation.

You can put ag and tillage implements on

the back. Transportation of people, water,

crops, building supplies, things like that.

Over the years Purdue engineers have

improved the design of it. We were

contacted by the Africa Fire Mission,

and they said, "We are American

firefighters who volunteer in the slums of

Nairobi, Kenya, and can we use your

vehicular platform as a firefighting engine?"

--Africa generally has little to no

knowledge of firefighting. Many places

right now, they have no access to

firefighting equipment whatsoever. This

will allow them to put out small fires,

even medium-sized fires, that

they've never been able to before

because they couldn't get close enough

or they didn't have enough water.

--If you could find some way to have over 150

gallons of water, and then some type of

pump and hose system on the vehicle, you

could get to the situation faster, while it's

potentially still within one home, and be

able to put that fire out. The homes in

this part of Nairobi are 10' x 10' wood

and corrugated steel structures. So the

challenge was, how do we reproduce that

and show that we can extinguish that?

In our tests, about 10 wooden pallets in a

structure with some verticality and a

roof and walls to keep the heat in, with

the fire inside them, would be pretty

close to reproducing the fire load from

over there... which we were able to

extinguish! It exceeded expectations!

So the idea for our vehicle is, it's rapid

response. If one house is on fire and you

know about it, and you can get there as

soon as possible in your rapid response

vehicle, you can contain that fire, or put it out.

--This is a versatile vehicle that

can go on just about any terrain,

go where vehicles can't go. It has multi

purposes; it's used for more than just

firefighting, which is vitally important

in areas where resources are scarce.

Providing 150 or 200 gallons of water

and a hose will be a game-changer as far

as firefighting in most of

the areas where this is designed to work.

--When I got to Purdue, I wanted to try to

be as involved as possible. I was trying

to find a project that not only did cool

engineering work, but was also meaningful.

You can make a little bit of difference

and improve someone's quality of life.

Scientists Are Giving People Psychedelics to Understand Consciousness - Duration: 3:42.

Some people who have taken psychedelics have described their experience as entering god

mode, transcending human perception, or reaching a higher state of consciousness.

But ... what's actually going on inside the brain?

To find out, a recent study gave volunteers intravenous doses of either LSD, psilocybin

or ketamine.

Then they did exactly what you'd think they'd do: lock their tripping volunteers in a loud,

claustrophobic machine to scan their brains.

The researchers found their brain activity was more random and less integrated, which

could explain the randomness of thought that reportedly happens under the influence of

psychedelics.

They also found that these compounds affected parts of the brain that deal with perception.

Essentially, parts of the brain that didn't normally communicate were saying, "Hey There!,"

creating what they called a "mixing of the senses," sort of like a chemically induced

synaesthesia.

The researchers called this a "higher state of consciousness," which coincidentally

is what hippies or monks might call this state of mind.

But the researchers made a point to say that "higher" does not mean "better" or more "desirable."

Instead, this is just the first time we've measured brain-signal diversity that's higher

than normal.

And that more research is likely needed!

Anyone who's even seen a movie about someone who's been on these drugs understands they're

experiencing an altered state of consciousness.

But now, we have data.

Ketamine, Psilocybin and LSD have different pharmacological properties, but in this study,

they all produced changes in the neural signal diversity, which is a measure of how complex

brain activity is.

Ketamine seems to have the widest effect on the brain, while psilocybin affects only a

very small section.

In the field of neuroscience, these compounds are slowly becoming tools to help researchers

find the molecular basis of consciousness.

Just like sleep research, psychedelics are a window into the brain at a different state.

For example, in a separate study researchers found the principal nodes in the brain's

default mode network, which is an interconnected group of brain structures that creates your

sense of self, are disrupted under the influence of psilocybin and LSD.

These changes in brain activity are why users often report a temporary loss of self or "ego

dissolution."

What that means is, the brain's central compass, the inner voice you have that drives

your behavior is quieted.

The neurons that usually work together lose synchronization, and that is what the researchers

think creates an entirely different conscious experience.

We still don't know what parts of the brain are responsible for generating consciousness.

I mean, the brain is one of the most complex structures in the universe with over 100 to

500 trillion synapses.

We have our work cut out for us.

Understanding how brain activity reorients could have therapeutic potential.

The default mode network is overactive in people who are prone to depression and pessimistic

patterns of thinking, which is why psilocybin is being explored as an antidepressant.

And that's the key for these researchers.

By seeing how the brain lights up under different drugs and understanding the changes in brain

activity, there's hope that these compounds could alleviate hard to treat neurological

conditions.

Psychedelics are a tool to tweak consciousness and gather more data.

We have so many pictures of normal brains, but by tweaking things a little (and understanding

what's happening), we get better insight into how the brain does this amazing thing

that it's doing for you and me right now.
