or foreskins our tires at the base of everything lie the eternal questions of

origins these are questions that priests philosophers along with us scientists

have all examined we research extrasolar planets to find the origins of life and

for the origins of the universe people we try to observe the universe in its

infancy and that's the main motivation for building bigger and better

telescopes and evermore sophisticated instruments

even though light travels at 300,000 km/s the universe is so vast that light

from celestial objects takes a long time to reach us

the sun's light takes 8 minutes to traverse the a hundred and fifty million

kilometers between the Sun and the earth while light from the closest star

Proxima Centauri takes four years our neighboring galaxy Andromeda is 2.5

million light years away meaning that when we look at the Andromeda galaxy we

see it as it was more than 2 million years ago by attempting to observe even

more distant galaxies nearly 13 billion light years away we can go back in time

to approach the birth of the universe us hollow from the core table tea

astronomers are contemplative the only thing we can observe is light actually

we would rather do experiments like in other Sciences way a galaxy for instance

or stop it from turning to see what happens but of course we can't do that

our one and only source of information is light

and I'll girl of course we can take pictures look at the shape of objects

and see their colors but because light transmits information about the atoms

that emitted it by using quanta of energy or quantum mechanics we can do

much more than that we can find the signature of those atoms

a sort of unique genetic code and that's really powerful as it means we can

determine the chemical composition the physics of the gas even the movements of

the stars thanks to the Doppler effect the instruments that enable us to obtain

information by analyzing light are called spectrographs they are absolutely

essential to us from associate born

since its invention in the 19th century the spectrograph has been a fundamental

tool in astronomy in the 1990s a new type of instrument was invented in

Europe the 3d or integral field spectrograph for the first time we could

obtain spectra of a wide area of the sky containing many astronomical objects the

first generation of instruments based on this new concept is now installed on

large telescopes around the world with its many telescopes in Chile the

European Southern Observatory or ESO is the spearhead of European astronomy many

examples of first generation 3d spectrographs already in place at the

focus of the four very large telescopes with 8.2 meter diameter mirrors at the

Paranal observatory

as technology advances after say ten years you can build a much better camera

or a much better spectrograph and put it on the telescope and make it more

powerful but it takes five to ten years to do so early 2000s and planning was

going on at easel hmm we should have IDs for new more powerful instruments called

the second generation instruments lapel door for the lasers tender immediately

gave us a chance to move up again and to propose something that was based on

everything we had learned during all those years something much more

ambitious which would mean we'd be able to observe the very distant universe

like never before and so that was the very beginning of the Meuse project the

project in the past and we did have instruments that in a way operate like

we used integral field spectrographs they make images and spectra at the same

time they have been around for 20 years and both you know Lyon and also our

Institute in Potsdam have been very successful in using this type of

observations but what new is now followed really for the first time

introduces is to combine this capability with the capability of a survey

instrument meaning really to look at a significant part of the sky

not just at one galaxy but really at a significant part of the sky and have

lots of stuff in there and everything with this imaging plus spectroscopy

capability that's a very new approach to to do astronomy

Mews the multi-unit spectroscopic explorer is composed of not just one 3d

spectrograph but 24 when the light of the galaxy captured by the telescope

enters the instrument the first optical element the light encounters is the D

rotator which compensates for the Earth's rotation the stabilized image is

then magnified by a pair of mirrors next the beam enters the first field splitter

the image of the galaxy is split into 24 sections

resulting in 24 separate optical beams these beams are distributed by a group

of mirrors and lenses to the 24 modules

the light is again split by a second field splitter called a slicer the

masterpiece of Muse the slicer is composed of two series of 48 spherical

mirrors which split the beam into 48 slices the light reflected by each small

mirror enters the spectrograph where it is dispersed according to its wavelength

the detector registers the spectrum of a small part of the galaxy this process is

repeated for each of the 48 beams the detector is then completely illuminated

the same thing occurs simultaneously in each of the 24 spectrographs the

resulting 400 million pixel image holds the spectral information of every part

of the galaxy if you the more obviously no laboratory

could take on a project as complex as muse alone no one would have had the

strength or capacity for that so I brought together a group of laboratories

in Europe which together have the expertise for such a project five

research laboratories join the Astrophysical research center of Liam to

develop muse along with ESO the process began in 2004 with the conceptualization

design and construction involving experts in optics mechanics electronics

and software the different phases took nine years and involved a hundred

researchers technicians and engineers to overcome the many challenges

particularly in the development of the slicer the key component of Muse offered

a measure so you have to understand that in the beginning when we launched the

project as is often the case we didn't actually know how to create this slice

Idoko quality project we've made a small prototype but that's all and so as the

project went on we had to demonstrate that we could in fact do it so we

launched a whole load of tests made a whole lot of things in metal with

different technologies in the optical field with a variety of manufacturers in

Europe and in the USA and each time it didn't function each time there was

something that didn't work and so at one point we really thought that the project

would have to stop there no slices no Muse and then suddenly a

French manufacturer came up with a technology that meant we could finally

create the slicer and of course there wasn't just one but 24 to be made

we were saved that was us hope he offered the Assembly of Muse began in

Leon in 2010 thousands of components arrived from all over Europe it took

three years to assemble calibrate align and test the instrument

in September 2013 after final tests Muse was disassembled carefully packed and

shipped to Chile

mr. David Musa rived in dozens and dozens of boxes several lorry Lords

arrived in Canal and our first concern was that everything arrived in one piece

because you see their unique pieces and if one part had been broken there

wouldn't have been time to make another one quickly enough so that was already

very stressful but everything was fine and so once all the crates with all the

pieces had been unpacked at paranal and we saw that everything was alright

it had to be assembled tested and aligned and for muse which is one of the

biggest instruments to install on the VLT the biggest in fact that phase took

a long time but the really stressful part of this marathon was respecting the

deadlines the Knights that had been allotted to us for the commissioning on

the sky had been fixed a long time in advance and we absolutely could not miss

the method that was a new experience for us because in earlier projects we

disassembled the instruments put them into single pieces and reassembled them

again on the telescope on the platform but for Muse it turned out is not

feasible because news was too complicated to do all this assembly and

especially these alignments inside of the telescope dome

it was decided that we will lift the instrument as a total in the single lift

into the dome and there is only one way to enter the dome with a big-sized

instrument and that is the slit for observation I wonder how you do sleep I

imagine our state of mind beforehand we knew that it was the crucial part of the

operation and that the weather would play a key role in it being successful

since we were going to unpack the instrument and leave it outside before

installing it in the telescope but of course just as we are about to do this

there was a high wind and risk of rain so we slowed down a bit and waited and

then we had a meeting and looked at the weather forecast I made the decision to

go ahead

one of the biggest risks was of course damage to the instrument but there was

also another parameter the alignment this had taken more than two months to

do in the integration Hall and if it had become misaligned we would have had no

choice but to take it back down again in all this

and then it was lifted up to the 15 meters elevation above our heads but to

be honest at that moment I thought I would be totally excited and fear that

the the instrument would could fall down

I noticed big you take another critical element was that the telescope has

mirrors and we would have had a big problem with the mirrors if the Sun

shone on so we started lifting at around 5:00 5:30 a.m. and when we'd finished at

them we only had about 10 minutes before the Sun arrived on the main mirror which

was the moment when we absolutely had to close the shutter so not only was it a

very delicate technical operation but one that had to be done in a very

limited space of time you tell you tell time

now from Yahoo it was the first time that a light other than ambient light or

from a calibration lamp would reach the instrument the light of a star or of a

galaxy for example I wanted to symbolize that moment by choosing a special object

that was hidden and secret okay so I chose the captain stars it because it's

13 light-years away which means that the light left this star in 2001 at the same

time that we made the bid for ease O's 10 member more you kept on your I love

editor for the RISM Creusot for 13 years the light had traveled

across deep space at 300,000 kilometers per second and arrived 13 years later in

muses channel number 6

it was really amazingly symbolically fried I shared this with the team when

they asked me I also told them that it was because the light from the star had

gone straight ahead whereas for us it had been a bit less straightforward

formula we a slap on your phone it was the first light and it was the first

time that we'd taken a picture of the sky personally I was under a lot of

pressure because we had installed the instrument and then spent a week

aligning it correctly with the telescope so when we took the first image

it was also validation that the instrument was exactly opposite the

telescope city love was the result of 10 years of work and it functioned we could

see our stars they were clearly defined then we could put them in the right

order well he had succeeded minute so now we've had this instrument over to

the scientists and we knew that they were going to have a lot of fun like

easily simulating

Muse was set up but before entering service it had to pass a battery of

tests and adjustments this stage known as commissioning required many nights of

data acquisition so that the engineers and researchers could obtain muses

optimal performance

Siddiq on this screen we can see the reconstructed image of the area of sky

which is being observed you can see the different objects that we have marked

and for each of the objects you can see the spectra which gives us the

characteristics and tells us what it is if it's a galaxy or a quasar or another

object of scientific interest of the colors report a one of the big

challenges of this project was being able to analyze efficiently the enormous

amount of data that the instrument provides sorry about the project Edsel

you see it's capable of producing 400 million bytes of data a minute the

volume of information can be considerable but it's not only the

volume it's also the complexity the image that arrives on the detector has

been cut several times into small pieces by slices and by field splitters and so

it's extremely complicated for and you have to retrace algorithmically what

happened on the detector and compare it to what was in the sky solution but Muse

fundamentally creates a lot of pixel data on some detectors and if you look

at that well he cannot make much head nor tail of it so it's it's a very

complicated process we have an expert in the team who wrote what we call the data

reduction software and that basically puts these all these pixel data together

to make images spectra the combined data cube and so on

in February 2014 during the validation phase Muse observed the Orion Nebula to

test its ability to analyze a large region of the sky in less than two hours

Muse took more than 60 pictures of the nebula that is 2 million spectra 100

times more than available so far after processing the data was arranged in a

cube composed of a series of four thousand images of different wavelengths

the analysis of this data reveals a number of distinct chemical elements as

well as the physical conditions of the gas in the nebula compared to simple

images the data cube produced by Muse is so rich in information that researchers

will need many months to fully analyze its contents and publish the results so

the real thing is what we got with the Orion Nebula was really what we hope for

even much better it was so spectacular they really the because there's a lot of

gas and that gas is in motion and there's stars hot stars that excite this

gas that bring it to radiates in different parts of the electrometric

spectrum so the earth all sorts of you can easily visualize this with very

colorful maps and that's what we've done afterwards

yeah and really the interesting things this is was a showpiece for the

capabilities of Muse but it also contains an incredible richness of

scientifically valuable data

every six months the members of the Meuse consortium meet for busy weeks at

these times they report on the status of the observing programme and discuss the

latest results throughout the week professors postdocs and students of many

nationalities come together with one objective to extract scientific

information from the light analyzed and dissected by muse numerous topics are

explored in particular my own interest is on how galaxies like our own Milky

Way galaxy how galaxies change with time how they evolve how they are formed in

the early universe how they then develop over time what controls how they develop

and so on and we know that a key part of that is the interaction with gas in the

universe how gas flows from the surrounding universe onto the galaxies

and that's then the fuel out of which stars like the Sun are eventually made

and we know that surrounding galaxies there is gas it's the gas leftover if

you like from the Big Bang we see that in absorption against background objects

but we that always just gives us a sort of one-dimensional probe it's like a

needle through literally a needle through a haystack with Moo's we can

actually now see where this gas is in a sort of three-dimensional volume and so

what we want to do with Muse is to understand this process of how gas flows

from the surrounding universe onto onto galaxies

I would say holy grails of my own research field has been to detect this

web of gas which we think must be there in the early universe out of which

galaxies are are forming and muse really is the best instrument now to really try

and see this

we observe quasar so-called quasars and these are some of the brightest sources

in the universe and what the quasar is supermassive black hole gas is spiraling

in because of the gravity of the supermassive black hole and because the

gravity is so strong with the gas moves really really fast as it spirals into

the black hole and because it's moving so fast there's a lot of friction

between gas layers that are moving at different speeds the gas gets really

really hot and as a gas hot its emits a huge amount of radiation now we were

using those quasars as tools not to study than themselves but as flashlights

because it's so bright you can see them all the way across the universe and you

see a flashlight and if you then check what the gas on its way from the quasar

to you the telescope The Observer what that gas around the galaxy that's in

between you absorbs then you can learn about the gas around a galaxy that you

can't observe in any other way but to learn how that relates to gas inflow and

outflow of the galaxy you need to know where the galaxy is and that was the

bottleneck and we couldn't find the galaxies only the very brightest ones

with Meuse we can go much fainter one two tours of magnitude fainter so we can

find many more galaxies in fact I realize we could find as many galaxies

as we could see absorption lines so we could really start to correlate the gas

that we see in absorption with the galaxy is detected by Muse and in that

way for the first time learning about the gas inflows and outflows of galaxies

that are far away and these are important because far away in astronomy

means further back in time and the muse we can study this process

at a time when the galaxies are most active in the history of the universe

and they were forming stars very vigorously and because of that's

producing big explosions that blew a lot of gas back into intergalactic space

kinetic art art they do ice core drilling in that arctica to go back in

climate history and it's the same when we observe a skyzone very deeply we go

back in time now I'm particularly interested in galaxies those huge groups

of millions of stars and the millions of galaxies in the universe we want to know

when they were formed how they evolved I don't and so it's like very deep core

drilling of the universe which means we can see galaxies at different ages when

they were infants adolescents adults and so on and that's how we try to retrace

their story news is really the perfect instrument for doing this I think it's

brilliant because I used to want to be an archaeologist and I've rediscovered

the love I had for it in my youth with Muse I'm doing the archaeology of the

universe

in 2014 over the equivalent of four nights

music served an area of the Hubble Deep Field this field had previously been

imaged in the year 2000 by the Hubble Space Telescope using very long

exposures to obtain color images of hundreds of galaxies the Muse data cube

of this field is rich in information as we go through the cube we advanced in

wavelength from blue to infra red a

number of bright points can be seen which vary in brightness with wavelength

these are mostly galaxies from the brightness variations we can deduce the

physical properties of the galaxies for example which types of stars are present

there we now select a small region of the data cube two zones to be precise

the first is the center of a bright galaxy the second is empty on the Left

we see a spectrum appear near 520 nanometers we encounter a bright

emission line the galaxy shines intensely at this wavelength showing the

presence of hot oxygen in the galaxy

in the red we suddenly see another line in the second part of the cube there

where nothing was visible before a galaxy is now revealed thanks to the

presence of ionized hydrogen by measuring the precise wavelength of the

emission line it's possible to deduce the distance to the galaxy it's a very

distant 113 billion light-years away and we have observed it just 1 billion years

after the Big Bang

Nalini may the quality of the Hubble telescopes image allows you to see a

galaxy and its form with precision but what you are essentially seeing is how

much light is received at a given moment in that galaxy like a techie I think

with the spectrum you also have the distribution of the energy of this light

all its wavelengths and all its colors a sow fits and we're done and this

provides a lot more information like the speed at which these galaxies rotate the

movement of gas chemical elements and the number of stars of different ages

young and old that the galaxies are composed of into size and is not for my

sake do men do all this information put together enables us to estimate what

stage of development the galaxy has reached

gasai Moo's well thanks to music we could measure the distances of something

like 180 galaxies in the same field of vision and we have discovered about 30

new very distant galaxies in that same field that couldn't be seen with Hubble

luckily we are aware that we have made a very beautiful instrument which is now

considered not only by us but by the community of those who have really used

it to be the Rolls Royce of astronomy after being used for a year a remarkable

number of articles have been published using data from it mostly by people who

are not on the Meuse team it's really great to see that people outside of the

project can use this instrument easily you can get results and extremely good

results very quickly who thought was he talking

you

to meet that dolls in 2014 I lived through some truly extraordinary moments

it was like a dream come true it was an idea a vague plan that became in reality

a fantastic machine to travel back in time they're all true it was a technical

scientific and human adventure throughout it I met some remarkable

people with remarkable intelligence devoted to the project and together we

made something extraordinary that none of us could have done alone Muse will be

used by ESO and by us for maybe the next 10 15 or 20 years so I think that Muse

will market Sarah as an important contributor to scientific discovery

you're about the only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the food and

I don't need it man you got the flag up now and you can see

the deal yes we are getting a TV picture with you now

at one of them

Are you using your time efficiently? Vlog #9 - Duration: 2:15.

All right, all right. I better put it down. I got too much to do today started up a Hawks training academy

radio Station on Anchor

I've got Facebook. I've got instagram. I've got Twitter. I've got so many things to do today. I can't sit still

I just don't know what to do. I'm overwhelmed. I'm feeling a little bit of anxiety. I'm stressed. Oh

Wait, I just could have stopped

For a second take your breath

My name is Trevor Knowles. I'm with Hawks training academy, and I'm going to talk about time management today

What do you do with your time?

You have to stop and think about that. Are you watching too many movies perhaps on a certain app are?

You scrolling on social Media too much and not watching

enough of me

If so, you can fix it yourself

What you have to do is actually write down stuff that you want done if you want

You know groceries plan them out your breakfast your lunch your dinner your snacks for the whole week write it out

Go pick it up that way that'll stop you from any impulse buys or any added expenses clearance or sales

Anything that'll trigger you you don't need it

Hold to your list, and that's it for that chores. You can work out

Write them down for the week

that way it's not all on one day, and of course you're

Overtaxed and feeling stressed as well as the rest of the things my family. We like to write out one

Activity for the week that we like to do of course

Rollerblading

Hiking some sort of fun activity usually that we haven't done a lot of unless we really enjoy it

That's a really good one as well

so basically take a breath write down everything and

Remember that you have this you got it. Just take care and

Execute everything that's the most important part enjoy yourself. Have a lovely weekend and then get outside!

Remember Who You Are, It's Time - Duration: 7:35.

Remember Who You Are, It�s Time�

Experience is the product of the mind, the spirit, conscious thoughts and feelings, and

unconscious thoughts and feelings.

These together form the reality that we know.

We are hardly at the mercy of reality, therefore, that exists apart from ourselves, or is thrust

upon us.

We are so intimately connected with the physical events composing our life experiences that

we often can�t distinguish between seemingly material occurrences and the thoughts, expectations

and desires that gave them birth.

If there are strongly negative characteristics present in your most intimate thoughts , if

these actually form bars between us and a more full life, still we often look through

the bars, not seeing them.

Until they are recognized they are impediments.

Even obstacles have a reason for being.

If they are our own, then it�s up to us to recognize them and discover the circumstances

behind their existence.

Our conscious thoughts can be great clues in uncovering such obstructions.

We�re not very familiar with our own thoughts as we think.

They can escape from us like water through our fingers, carrying with them vital nutrients

that spread across the landscape of our psyche�and all too often carrying sludge and mud that

clog up the channels of experience and creativity.

An examination of our conscious thoughts will tell us much about the state of our inner

mind, our intentions and expectations, and will often lead us to a direct confrontation

with challenges and problems.

Our thoughts, studied, will let us see where we are going.

They point clearly to the nature of physical events.

What exists physically exists first in thought and feeling.

There is no other rule.

We have the conscious mind for a good reason.

We�re not at the mercy of unconscious drives unless we consciously acquiesce to them.

Our present feelings and expectations can always be used to check our progress.

If we don�t like our experience, then we must change the nature of our conscious thoughts

and expectations.

We must alter the kind of messages that we are sending through our thoughts to our own

bodies, to friends and associates.

Each thought has a result.

The same kind of thoughts, habitually repeated, will seem to have more or less permanent effect.

If we like the effect then we seldom examine the thought.

If we find ourselves assailed by physical difficulties, however, we begin to wonder

what is wrong.

Sometimes we blame others, our own background, or a previous life�if we accept reincarnation.

We may hold god or the devil responsible, or we may simply say, �That�s life,�

and accept the negative experience as a necessary part of our life.

We may finally come to a half-understanding of the nature of reality and whine,� I believe

that I have caused these problems, but I find myself unable to change or reverse them�.

If this is the case, then regardless of what we told ourselves thus far, we still don�t

believe that we are the creator of our own experience.

As soon as we recognize this fact we can begin at once to alter those conditions that cause

us dismay or dissatisfaction.

No one forces us to think in a particular way.

In the past we may have learned to consider things pessimistically.

We may believe that pessimism is more realistic than optimism.

We may even suppose, and many do, that sorrow is ennobling, a sign of deep spiritualism,

a mark of separation, a necessary mental garb of saints and poets.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

All consciousness has within it the deep abiding impetus to use its abilities fully, to expand

its capacities, to venture joyfully beyond the seeming barriers of its own experience.

The very consciousness within the smallest molecules cries out against any ideas of limitation.

They yearn toward new forms and experiences.

Even atoms, then, constantly seek to join in new organizations of structure and meaning.

They do this �instinctively�.

Man has been endowed, and has endowed himself, with a conscious mind to direct the nature,

shape and form of his creations.

All deep aspirations and unconscious motivations, all unspoken drives, rise up for the approval

or disapproval of the conscious mind, and await its direction.

Only when it abdicates its functions does it allow itself to become swayed by �negative�

experience.

Only when it refuses responsibility does it finally find itself at the seeming mercy of

events over which it appears to have no control.

If you�re in poor health, you can remedy that.

If your personal relationships are unsatisfactory, you can change them for the better.

If you are in poverty, you can instead find yourself surrounded by abundance.

Whether or not we realize it, we have pursued our present course with determination using

many resources, for ends or reasons that at one time made sense to us.

We might say:� Poor health makes no sense to me�, or �A fractured relationship with

my partner is hardly what I was after�, or, � I certainly have not been pursuing

poverty after all my hard work�.

If we were born poor, or born sick, then it certainly seems to us that these circumstances

were thrust upon us.

Yet they were not, and to some extent or another they can be changed for the better.

This doesn�t mean that effort is not required and determination.

It does mean that we are not powerless to change events and that each of us, regardless

of our position, status, circumstances or physical condition is in control of our own

personal experience.

We see and feel what we expect to see and feel.

The world as we know it is a picture of our expectations.

The world as a race of man knows it is the materialization en masse of our individual

expectations.

As children come from our physical tissues, so

is the

world our joint creation.

Time For Firmino To Break The Curse Of Liverpool's No.9 Shirt - Duration: 7:10.

Time For Firmino To Break The Curse Of Liverpool's No.9 Shirt

There are a few iconic shirt numbers that you associate with Liverpool Football Club, with both No. 9 very much the standouts.

James Milner currently occupies the former once worn majestically by Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez, much to the dismay of many who want a more glamorous player donning it, but the latter has been vacant for a year.

That is until this week, when it was confirmed that Roberto Firmino would take the honour, with the Brazilian kindly allowing new signing Mohamed Salah to wear his No.

Some true greats have been awarded that honour and thrived off it in the past, starting with Ian St John in the 1960s and Steve Heighway the following decade.

Ian Rush is unquestionably the greatest Red to have worn the No. 9, with the legendary striker netting 346 goals for the club, while Robbie Fowler was both untouchable and a hero to a generation in the mid-1990s.

The other standout No. 9 who wowed the masses with his world-class brilliance was Fernando Torres, who along with Luis Suarez, is Liverpool's finest ever foreign striker.

'El Nino' was a genuine superstar during the late-2000s, and while his exit to Chelsea in 2011 left a lot of supporters baying for blood, he deserves to be regarded as a true Anfield icon.

Some pretty special names there, don't you think?. If you forget Torres, however, a number of all-time flops have also worn No. 9 in the last 15 years, to the extent that it has become a 21st-century curse.

Andy Carroll has to be the best example, with the towering marksman never once coming close to justifying his laughable £35million price tag.

He barely played, and whenever he did, he resembled a League One player getting the very best out of his limited ability.

Nicolas Anelka could easily have become a permanent signing in 2002, but rather than keeping hold of his ruthless compatriot, Gerard Houllier inexplicably signed El Hadji Diouf instead.

Liverpool's most detestable No. 9 of all time was generally woeful on the pitch and a vile creature off it – to this day, it is hard to think of a less likeable player to have represented the Reds.

As a forward, he scored just three Premier League goals in his first two seasons at Anfield, in 55 appearances.

Rush, Fowler, Torres and others had every right to feel appalled that he was wearing the same shirt that they had once excelled in so greatly.

Djibril Cisse proved to be very disappointing, having been dubbed the 'next Thierry Henry'. A broken leg in his first season certainly didn't help, but if you took pace out of his game, there was little else on show.

Another No.9, Iago Aspas, is best remembered for taking the worst corner in Liverpool's history, and then there was Rickie Lambert.

With all due respect, he should never have signed for his boyhood club, with the former Southampton man looking completely overawed by the situation he found himself in.

Christian Benteke is the most recent recipient of arguably Liverpool's second-most famous shirt number, and he was another who just didn't cut the mustard.

He has shown everywhere else that he will score goals regularly, but that step up in quality is something many never manage to conquer.

Since Benteke's exit to Crystal Palace a year ago, the No.9 shirt has been crying out to be taken, and it is Firmino who will fill the void.

It will be fascinating to see how he fares in comparison to the legends, and flops, before him.

The biggest thing working in Firmino's favour is that he is not a new signing. Coming straight in and having the pressure of starring in the No.

9 shirt immediately is not easy, as we have seen so often, but he has been a Liverpool player for two years now. More will now be expected of him, however, even if that does sound slightly bizarre.

It suggests he is now unquestionably Jurgen Klopp's leading man up top, and he must prove that he is someone who can score at a more rapid rate, and be the man to break down stubborn opposition regularly.

Klopp is not necessarily expected to bring in a new big-money striker, with the likelihood being that Firmino will dovetail with Sadio Mane and Salah in a front-three next season.

In fairness, we all know that there is so much more to his game, especially in comparison to other strikers, but he needs to be edging nearer that 20-goal mark and beyond from this point on.

There will also be an extra pressure on him to recreate the brilliance of some of those heroes of past years, leading the line for the Reds in even more imposing, consistent fashion.

There can be no doubting that Firmino has been a successful signing, but such is his talent, there is another gear that he can find. 9 shirt acts as a positive in that respect, rather than a hindrance.

The small matter of a shirt number may feel unimportant and irrelevant to many, but it means a lot at the top clubs in Europe, and gives players an added identity. It can make or break an individual.

The latest chapter in the history of Liverpool's No. 9 is set to be written, and it's been a while since someone really shone in the role.

It's time for Firmino to change that in style, spearheading the Reds' assault on the Premier League and Champions League in 2017/18.

Half Life: The Story of Gabe Newell and Valve - Duration: 10:31.

Gabe Newell packed his suitcase.

This was it.

He'd made the decision.

He was dropping out of Harvard.

It was one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Yes, he'd worked ridiculously hard to get here, and completing his degree would help

fast-track him into any career he could envision.

But that life plan didn't seem to fit with Gabe.

Besides, he had what he figured was a better offer.

Gabe's brother had a new job at a tech company in Seattle.

Gabe had liked to spend time with him over the summer while he was at work, hanging out

with him at his desk, until his brother's manager got annoyed.

If Gabe was going to be taking up space in the office all day, he might as well have

something to do.

Working on tech projects all summer was wonderfully fulfilling The experience was incredible – Gabe

felt like he'd learned more in three months with the company than he had done in three

years at Harvard.

And so, Gabe jumped ship.

He walked out of college, into an uncertain future with the company that his brother was

working for.

This could all prove a disaster if things didn't work out, and he'd be left, having

thrown away an education that most people would give anything to achieve.

But Gabe liked his chances.

He had to do what felt right for him, even if that meant leaving his formal education

behind to focus on more practical methods of learning.

All he could do was hope that his new employer, a company by the name of Microsoft, would

turn out to be the success he believed it could be.

After thirteen incredibly successful years at Microsoft, Gabe Newell was ready for something

new.

His gamble on the company had paid off, and after years of work designing operating systems

for the company, Gabe was now a millionaire, with no shortage of possibilities for what

to do next.

Gabe partnered with a friend from Microsoft, Mike Harrington, and the two began to think

up plans for forming their own company.

Mike had been pleased with his work at Microsoft, but he'd always wondered whether all he'd

achieved had come from simply piggybacking on a company that was already destined for

success.

He wanted to prove that he could make something all his own that would be appreciated and

loved, and was eager to start from scratch without the reputation of an already popular

company.

Their work on operating systems had taught them the importance of building tools – they

saw their work on Windows platforms as a way to help people get the most out of their computers.

No matter whether an end user was an enormous, multinational company, or a couple of friends

building a gaming mod in their spare time, Gabe and Mike saw their creations as being

a helpful aid to the creativity of others.

Thinking about where they'd like to go with their company, the pair decided that they

were eager to create a video game.

This seemed like a fairly straightforward process – they could license the use of

an existing game engine, and modify it for their needs.

Cashflow wasn't a problem, so all they'd need was some actual designers and programmers.

And so, the pair set to work, recruiting new staff to join them in their brand new games

studio, Valve.

Rather than only hiring established industry professions, the pair reached out to the amateur

modding communities for various popular games.

These gamers, they felt, were a source of fantastic untapped potential.

What they lacked in formal experience, they more than made up for in their ingenuity and

creativity – and considering the grassroots evolution of Microsoft in its early years,

Mike and Gabe figured they should similarly recruit industry newcomers to build something

fresh and original.

The team set to work, creating a first person shooter for PC platforms, as Gabe and Mike,

along with their team of modders, knew home computers best.

As progress on the game moved forward, Gabe and Mike began searching for a publisher for

their title.

No matter how much capital their new studio had, they knew that actually getting the game

into stores was outside of their abilities at this point, and they needed to go through

established channels in order to see their game succeed.

After some searching, the pair found a publisher that was willing to take a chance on a new,

unproven studio, and all seemed to be going well.

Their game, Half Life, was announced to the public, and was instantly embraced with open

arms.

Gamers everywhere were blown away by the game's style and design – this quickly looked like

it was going to be one of the year's biggest sellers, and Valve's new publishing partner

was absolutely thrilled.

But Gabe and Mike weren't convinced.

As they looked at the game they'd been building thus far, they began to wonder if, perhaps,

some ideas could have been fleshed out better.

They didn't want their first title to be anything less than perfect, and if Half Life

didn't meet the high expectations that fans already had, then their new passion project

would be a failure in their eyes.

With some trepidation, the pair approached their publisher, and explained that the game

wouldn't be ready for its scheduled release date.

The publisher was not impressed.

They urged Valve not to worry about this nonsensical perfectionism.

No game is without flaws, and Half Life certainly seemed good enough to win over audiences,

even with a few rough edges.

But Gabe and Mike would not be dissuaded.

They simply couldn't rush the completion of the game, knowing that it would have to

sit, incomplete, on gamers' shelves forever.

It was better to make the best game possible, than to cut corners to get it out in time

for its scheduled release.

And so, the entire team at Valve paused their work, as the project was rethought.

Ultimately, the team ended up scrapping pretty much everything that they'd done up to that

point, and started all over again, from scratch.

With this second attempt, the team focused on building the game around a strong story.

This wasn't entirely unheard of in a first person shooter, but it was rare.

Most titles simply featured a lot of monsters for players to shoot, without any real thought

about the context behind what was going on.

With Half Life, though, Valve wanted to make something that kept the player engaged through

a compelling, overarching narrative, with plenty of plot twists and turns along the

way.

What's more, instead of giving the player context through lengthy cutscenes or text

dumps, the game's story was told through key narrative clues.

As the player searched around, they'd see events happening through the eyes of their

character, so as not to break immersion, and to help the player learn the story in an organic,

believable fashion.

This wasn't a game that pretended to be a movie, as was common, but a seamless story

that was perfect for the interactive medium.

As Half Life was finally completed, the team sat back, and congratulated themselves on

their work.

They'd made something that really stood out from the crowd, giving players a unique

experience, and telling a powerful story in a unique fictional world.

And so, as the game was finally released, to enormous critical and commercial success,

the team at Valve made the decision to give a little back to the gamers who quickly fell

in love with Half Life.

This was a game that had been built by modders, and to help the successful modding of their

work, they released the entirety of Half Life's source code online, for interested gamers

to study and learn from, in order to build more complex and impressive add-ons for the

game.

After all, Gabe and Mike thought, their game hadn't just been meant as a single experience

– they'd wanted to provide gamers of all levels a tool to build upon.

Just as their work at Microsoft had provided a digital suite to help creatives of all kinds

of materials, Half Life would prove to be the perfect tool to help modders across the

internet build their own unique games and experiences.

Finally, with the success of Half-Life behind him, Mike told Gabe that he planned to leave

the company on a high note.

He'd achieved his goal of making something he could be proud of, and proving that he

could create something worthwhile on his own terms.

Besides, after so much hard work on Half-Life, his family deserved a vacation, and he was

looking forward to taking things slow for a while.

Gabe was sorry to see his friend and partner leave.

It meant losing his greatest support and source of advice and guidance from over the past

few years.

He now had the difficult challenge ahead of building on Valve's initial successes, and

not letting Half-Life fans down.

But he knew he could do it.

Valve had achieved everything they had because his talented team had given their all to build

the best game they possibly could.

Now, they were ready to do the same again, as Gabe began to steer Valve towards the future.

The moral of this story, is that if something's really worth doing, it's worth doing right.

If you have a desire to build something, it's important to take the time to make something

you can truly be proud of.

This often means learning new skills, and being willing to start projects over if needs

be, in order to build something that's the best it can possibly be.

This takes time, and it involves a lot of practice, and hard work.

Nobody ever achieves their dreams by getting complacent, and while you may face setbacks

and hiccups along the way, as you keep pushing forward, working every day to improve and

develop your talents, you'll see the progress you desire over time.

As you keep striving and working on your passion projects, eventually you'll create something

truly special.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what other people think of your work.

You may receive all the praise and support you need, or labour quietly in obscurity for

years and years.

As long as you're proud of what you finally produce, though, then that's all that matters.

When you're proud of your accomplishments, you'll be able to say that you've finally

succeeded.

MANIFEST

Energetically, everything is falling into place.

the people, things, and situation you need to carry you forward on your journey.

The energy of manifestation is a creative force, and right now it is in full flow for

you.

So while you may not win a lottery, you can expect to experience ABUNDANCE and EASE while

these energies are here.

This is a great time to play with and learn about the order of manifesting.

While you will notice that most of what is manifested is done by the Higher Self, a smaller

portion will be manifested from your consciousness mind.

Explore it fully and have fun with it!

Anything can be manifested at this time, so do not limit your potential.

Your soul knows no limits.

You are a creator and able to naturally turn your energy into physical manifestation.

to help connect you to the right people or organizations, or even aid you in gaining

the financial resources you require.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Hold in your mind, that it wasn�t intended that you use your ability to manifest for

yourself only.

You can also use this to help others who may not be able to help themselves right now.

POWER

The Power card rules the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra.

This is where we experience our own sense of personal power.

If you have drawn this card today, it is because Spirit is asking that you focus on you own

sense of personal power-and claim it.

Have you been hiding your power or afraid to own it?

Have you been feeling powerless or fearing you aren�t strong enough?

Its time to focus on your solar plexus, and start to build your sense of personal power.

Sometimes there can be a drain from our solar plexus, because we are unintentionally corded

to another person-most often in close relationships.

This energetic cord runs directly from our third chakra and attaches to the other person.

We unknowingly let others siphon off our power.

This can happen if we are enabling or trying to please someone.

It can also happen if we fear losing the love of that person or if we feel attacked in some

way.

It is time for you to look closely at why this has happened to you and to ask your guides

and angels to assist you with cutting that cord.

This card also comes if we are in fear of claiming our power; of standing tall and showing

the world exactly who we are.

Most often, we have had experiences in our earthly years where we personally witnessed

the misuse of power or had some attempt to diminish our own.

This was in the past though, and you know how power is not to be used.

You also know that not claiming your own power does not serve you.

It�s time for you to claim YOU-to claim your life and claim the fact that you are

a powerful, incredible soul � Return to Spirit by Cheryl Lee Harnish.

As always I am right here with you.

It's time for big business to step up on health care - Duration: 3:40.

When you asked me to come here, I said, "You bet!"

She actually did! It's true.

I actually did. Because this is one that I don't understand many of the people in this room.

And I don't understand the companies that you represent.

I'm here with a whole bunch of folks who represent -- what did you all say in advertising this?

The most influential... Right? Come on! That's what it said.

I don't know. We have numbers --

The people who - right? - Make the world go round or whatever the phrase was.

Where are you all on health care? I mean, let's face it.

You can do this with dollars and cents.

What's the cost that's climbing the fastest for probably every corporation

represented in this room? It's health care. And the Republicans are

sitting over there in secret, 13 of them, trying to figure out how to rollback

health care coverage, and as part of that rollback many of the reforms that were

starting to drive down health care costs. That should matter a lot to people in

this room for your employees, and by the way, for any of you who have customers.

It should matter a lot if your customers are going to lose health care coverage,

if your customers are going to have the kind of minimalist coverage that says,

"yeah you get this much covered with an out-of-pocket," and then once you get

really sick, once you have a baby with a serious problem, you're just out of the

consumer economy. There's no help left for you.

And we're talking about not a handful of people.

We're talking about tens of millions of people who will be affected,

one-sixth of the entire US economy; and most of the companies

represented in this room have not had a word to say about that. Not had a word to

say about a process in which 13 men are behind a locked door, and they're horse trading

over their political futures and how

they're going to have to make health care come out. And they don't even want

to put that bill out there where other Democrats and Republicans get to read it,

where you get to read it, where experts get to read it, where families at home get to read it.

You know, this is huge for American democracy,

that somehow it has become okay on something as personal as health care,

on something that is as big in the American economy as health care,

and that you're all sitting silently by while 13 Republicans, man, they're going to do it?

And the word is they're going to drop the old bill, let us debate it,

meaning the House bill, jerk it up, put in the new bill after debate time is running,

Everybody votes and leaves town. That's not how law is supposed to be made

in a democracy, and it's not how laws should be made if you care about the

survival of your employees, your customers, and this economy.

But if that's what happens, is there a chance that a law this big could actually pass that way?

Yea! Are you kidding?

Well I'm asking because there are some Republicans who are not

happy with the process you just described either right now.

Yea.

And they've got to have every single one.

Well, all I'm saying is Mitch McConnell sure is smiling

while he's walking through the halls.

Not smiling at you I'm guessing.

Oh well that's true.
