Is Rasheeda Frost pregnant? LHHATL rumor sparked after Kirk Frost reunion
After all that she's been through with Kirk Frost's cheating scandal, is it possible that Rasheeda Frost is pregnant? After posting a photo on Instagram that appears to show the tiniest bump, Rasheeda pregnancy speculation didn't take long.
Now, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fans want to know if Kirk and Rasheeda will be making an announcement soon.
The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star has been supporting her estranged husband after the death of his mom, Gloria Frost.
Despite all that Kirk put her through with the Jasmine Washington baby scandal, Rasheeda really went out of her way to be there for him.
Now, it looks like she may be expanding their family again too.
The latest Rasheeda pregnancy rumors started after the LHHATL star posted a new photo on Instagram recently.
As you can see in the photo above, when Rasheeda is sitting down, her shirt fans out a tiny bit around her belly.
Apparently, that is enough for MTO to start talking about Kirk Frost being a daddy again.
This isn't the first time that speculation over the state of Rasheeda's uterus has cropped up recently.
Prior to the May photo, questions were raised about a possible baby bump after she attended Jessica Dime's baby shower.
Rasheeda wore a gorgeous white lace dress but the suspicious part was how loosely the dress fit her.
That's not typical of something she would wear to a party.
It's definitely too early to say if Rasheeda is pregnant or not.
Just the LHHATL rumors alone have reminded some of another Love & Hip Hop love triangle that resulted in baby ping pong.
The big difference is that Rasheeda and Kirk have been together for over 20 years while Amina Buddafly and Tara Wallace both got played by Peter Gunz with little to no actual commitment from him.
Tonight on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Rasheeda takes the girls to Houston as she prepares to open another Pressed store.
It doesn't look like she'll be making a pregnancy announcement on air.
If she is expecting though, that would be interesting in terms of the storyline for next season.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta airs Mondays at 8/7c on VH1.

US will loose big defence contracts if it sanctions India over the S-400 Missile Deal - Duration: 2:54.
The Indian Air Force is all set to acquire S-400 Triumf air defence missiles from Russia
after the two countries concluded price negotiations on the procurement and the modus of the transaction.
India wants to procure the long-range S-400 Triumf missile systems for the Indian Air
Force to tighten its air defence mechanism, particularly to neutralise Pakistani Nuclear
Missiles.
Defence officials said the two countries are now trying to find a way out to evade the
provisions of a US law that seeks to punish countries and entities engaged in transactions
with the defence or intelligence establishment of Russia.
"The negotiations for the missile deal have been concluded.
The financial component has been finalised," PTI quoted a top official involved in the
negotiations as saying.
The deal is expected to be announced before an annual summit between Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in October 2018, it added.
Both sides are now looking at ways to insulate the deal from the sanctions announced by the
US against Russia under its Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
The issue is understood to have figured during Modi's informal talks with Putin in Sochi
on 21 May 2018.
There has been mounting concerns in India over the US sanctions against Russian defence
majors, including Rosoboronexport, over Russia's alleged meddling in the US election in 2016.
CAATSA, which came into effect in January 2018, mandates the Donald Trump administration
to punish entities engaging in significant transaction with the defence or intelligence
establishment of Russia.
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has already appealed to the Congress to urgently provide
waivers to India, saying that imposing sanctions under CAATSA for the S-400 air defence missile
deal would only hit the US.
In 2016, India and Russia signed an agreement on the 'Triumf' interceptor-based missile
system which can destroy incoming hostile aircraft, missiles and even drones at ranges
of up to 400 km.
S-400 is known as Russia's most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system.
China was the first foreign country to seal a government-to-government deal with Russia
in 2014 to procure the lethal missile system and Moscow has already started delivery of
the S-400 missile systems to Beijing.
The S-400 is an upgraded version of the S-300 missile systems manufactured by Almaz-Antey
systems, which has been in service in Russia since 2007.

Chelsea next manager: Maurizio Sarri 'deal is done' to replace Antonio Conte - ESPN pundit - Duration: 2:27.
Chelsea next manager: Maurizio Sarri 'deal is done' to replace Antonio Conte - ESPN pundit
That's the opinion of ESPN pundit Paul Mariner who believes the Blues will replace Antonio Conte with the former Napoli boss.
Conte has a strained relationship with officials at Stamford Bridge and is expected to be let go by the club this summer.
That's despite beating Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Mariner believes it is just a matter of time before Sarri replaces Conte.
"They do (still have a manager) but that's never worried them in the past has it?," he said.
"I think with Sarri, I think it's a done deal" ESPN pundit Paul Mariner on Chelsea "They're a little bit cutthroat to say the least.
"I think with Sarri, I think it's a done deal.
"I think it's just the semantics, the money, how long is the contract, and so on and so forth.
"I don't think he's going to be hanging around for too long, Sarri.
"He's got other offers, so Chelsea have got to play this correct.
"They've got to play it quickly, so I say this is a winner.".
Chelsea struggled in trying to defend their Premier League title.
The Blues finished fifth, outside the Champions League qualifying places, and a massive 30 points behind champions Manchester City.

Researchers: Being Forgetful Is A Sign You'Re Unusually Intelligent - Duration: 2:13.
Researchers: Being forgetful is a sign you're unusually intelligent
Do you ever forget your new coworker's name?
If it happens often, you might be concerned that something's not quite right.
But don't worry, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong.
In fact, it's quite the opposite!
Researchers have published a new study showing that people who are forgetful might actually
be smarter than their friends with better memories.
The University of Toronto in Canada has discovered that intelligence has nothing to do with how
much someone can remember.
Usually, we think that people who can remember anything from multiplication tables to their
relatives's birthdays are smart, but being forgetful actually has practical applications.
In fact, the part of the brain that stores memories also writes important new memories
over older unimportant ones.
Remembering every little detail isn't what makes us smart, reports CNN.
It's about keeping what's important front and center, while letting go of the rest.
This might be easier to understand if we look at the example of someone who remembers a
person's face but not their name.
Certainly, it might be embarrassing, but if you look at it from another angle, it could
actually be better.
But the cleverness of the forgetful brain doesn't end there.
It also helps us sort out old memories that we no longer need, so we have room to add
new, more important ones.
Although it's better to remember every detail and also keep a grasp on the big picture,
fewer and fewer people are able to do it.
When the answer to almost everything question is just a click away, there's not really
an incentive to memorize all the names of the American presidents, for example.
However, this study doesn't mean you should forget everything all the time.
But if you forget to buy milk, for example, remember it's just your brain doing its
job Make sense?
Please share this article with your forgetful friends on Facebook,youtube and tweeter.
Hopefully, they'll remember to read it and they won't feel stupid the next time they
forget something!

Comey Finally Breaks His Silence on #SpyGate and It's a DOOZY - Duration: 12:44.
Comey Finally Breaks His Silence on #SpyGate and It's a DOOZY
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has been very quiet lately, as word spreads
over the "FBI mole" who spied on the Trump Campaign for Obama's Deep State.
The lying liberal media and Obama's cronies are out in full-force trying to spin #SpyGate
into something magical and awesome, claiming no one was "really spying on Trump," and
he should be "HAPPY" the FBI placed spies in his campaign.
Comey is now joining the spin-choir, by claiming federal spies are "regulated and normal"
and chastised Republicans for thinking otherwise, and then suggested conservatives were "harming"
their grandchildren by attacking the FBI.
From Washington Examiner
Former FBI Director James Comey defended the FBI's use of confidential sources Wednesday
following a series of tweets from President Trump about "spygate."
He also warned that attacks on and lies about the bureau and its work will cause "lasting
damage" to the country.
"Facts matter.
The FBI's use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and
essential to protecting the country.
Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country.
How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?"
Comey tweeted.

— James Comey (@Comey) May 23, 2018
The tweet from the former FBI director, who Trump fired in May 2017, comes after reports
the FBI worked with a secret informant during its investigation into Russian meddling in
the 2016 election.
The confidential source, identified as Stefan Halper, sought out and met with three Trump
campaign aides: former aide Carter Page, former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos,
and former campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis.
In a subsequent tweet, Comey encouraged Americans to "seek truth" in what he described as
a time of peril for the country.
"Dangerous time when our country is led by those who will lie about anything, backed
by those who will believe anything, based on information from media sources that will
say anything.
Americans must break out of that bubble and seek truth," the former FBI director said.

In a series of tweets Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, Trump accused the Obama
administration of embedding a spy in his campaign for "political reasons" and to help Hillary
Clinton win the presidency.
[Media insist: FBI's source on Trump was an 'informant,' not a 'spy']
The president also said allegations the FBI had an informant working for it during the
2016 campaign, which he referred to as "spygate," may be "one of the biggest political scandals
in history" and said spying on a campaign would be both illegal and "a scandal to
boot."
Trump accused the "criminal deep state," a reference to deeply entrenched members of
the intelligence community and executive branch who are allegedly working to undermine the
president and his agenda, of being behind allegations the Trump campaign colluded with
Russia and said it's now been caught in a "major spy
scandal."

FULLTANK by Bo Sanchez 440: Greatness is not about Success. It's about S______ S____ - Duration: 5:21.
I've learned that greatness is not about success. It is about two other "S's" When I
was a teenager and I was already preaching in a small prayer group, and you
know. Pople were amazed, "How could you be preaching? You're 13, you're 14, you're 15?" And
then, they would ask this question, "Who are the spiritual leaders or spiritual
mentors that you look up to? That you admire? That inspire you?" And I would
smile and I'd say, "Oh, I'll mention these big name preachers on TV. And wow!
Fantastic orators, fantastic speakers and they're so amazing."
Anyway, as the years went by, and when people would ask me the question, "Who are
the spiritual leaders and mentors that you admire? That you look up
to?" I noticed that my answers changed. I would say, to answer that question,
"Oh, sister so-and-so. Friend of my mom." "She's a beautiful, wonderful, spiritual
leader. She would ask me, 'How are you, Bo?' She'd go out of her way to love me; to
think about me." And I began to realize, "Whoa, my answers aren't changing."
Greatness is not about success. It's about selfless service. Hi, my name
is Bo Sanchez. Welcome to Fulltank, your place of inspiration. I pray that
you will be inspired, as we share the Gospel for the day. I do this from Monday
to Friday. Our Gospel is Mark 10:32; and Jesus said this.
He says that, "If you want to be great, you've got to be a servant." "You've
got to be a servant." and the reason why I share this with you is, I was thinking
you know. When you think about selflessness, I think about
my father. I think about my mom, you know. Because yes, when you think about
great parents; when you think about great teachers; when you think about great
leaders, it's because their selflessness. They think of others
more than they think of themselves. It was very painful for me I was counseling
someone, a guy. He was you know, 20-something years old, and he was
having problems with his own life, but also with his family. And he began to
talk about his father. And I said, "How's your relationship with your dad?" And he
starts crying. And I remember I asked, "Why?" "What's wrong?" and he told
me, "You know Bo, when you talk about your dad and how loving he is, and I would
listen in Fulltank, you talk about how you treat your kids. I am just crushed in
my heart, because my father is not like that. He's a selfish man."
And man, when he told me that I said, "Ouch." And I said, "Why do you say that?" and
he said, "Because he just thinks about himself. He never asks how I am. He never
looks at what's happening to me, and you know, it's all about him, you know. His
money, that's only for his needs. His time, it's only for him. He would never go
out of his way just to serve me, no." "It's about him. He's the boss and we're
supposed to serve him." And so, he was this this 20-plus year old
guy crying in front of me. And my heart was I was just crushed just
listening to him. And I prayed for him, and I pray that I'm calling on all the
father's. I'm calling on all the mothers. I'm calling on all the husband's, all the
wives, all the uncles, all the aunts, all the leaders, all the teachers. I'm calling
on you. If you want to make a difference in this world,
then, you be selfless. You serve other people. And you do it because it's a
choice, you know. You make a decision that, when you wake up in the morning you say,
"Jesus, use me to be a servant." Father, I pray for every person watching
this program that, they become great people. That they will have greatness,
and that they do it, by becoming a servant to other people. I pray Father
for selfless service, to be their gift to the world.
And I pray for every other area of their life, that they be filled with Your
provision, and Your miracles and healing and blessing be theirs right now. In
Jesus' name. Amen and amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit. Amen! Thank you so much for watching this program, and thank you for
being part of Fulltank and have a great week ahead of you. And by the way, I'm
giving a financial seminar again, and that's one of my passions. I try to help
people in their financial life, and so, on details below this video; where I'm gonna
give this seminar. And you know, different places. So, I hope you'll be
very blessed. God bless you. I will see you tomorrow.

The Web site. Is that really necesary? - Duration: 2:40.
With so many specialized social networks nowadays...
Is it really necessary to invest in a website?
We all know that if you're going to start a business or project, do you need to have a
website. A place on the Internet with your brand and product. With all the
important information about your project: your product, where to find you, how
to contact you. But with so many social networks nowadays Is that really necessary
to invest on a website? Not really. Although it's important for the
brand positioning, it's not vital. Let me explain.
If you're browsing for a business, there are different online directories
like foursquare, swarm or Google. If you're looking the way to
contact them, a lot of social networks have that possibility like
facebook, instagram, twitter and linkedin. If you're looking for platforms
for your content, you have wordpress for blogging, youtube for video,
instagram for images, and soundcloud for audio.
So you have free platforms to broadcast your content
whatever it may be. If the fact to have a various number of social networks
can save us from not having a website, which is the most important thing
we can do so users can find us on the Internet and get to know our brand?
The most important thing folks, it's the content. A useful and quality content.
A content that generates interest and position our brand.
¡Watch out! I'm not saying that it's not important to have a corporate website.
I'm just saying that if investing on a proper website, in line with your
brand and your goals it's an important economic effort,
You better save money first and invest time, creativity and energy on
creating content. So in the end, you have the just right website
that reflects your brand and your philosophy, as well as having
a propper content in it. Isn't that better than having a tasteless website
not reflecting your brand philosophy? So that's all for today folks!
If you have any doubts, suggestions or questions you can
email me at the address on the screen. Mi name is Adrià Muñoz,
and this is the Entrepreneur's Vlog.

[ENG SUB CC] Nine Percent: Beijing Fan Meeting - Whose Brain is It? - Duration: 22:39.
Let's guess which picture represents which member.
Let's first take a look at
the first picture, ok?
Alright.
This person's brain thinks about a lot of things.
skateboarding
hip hop
parents, siblings, happiness, sleep
darling
Did a darling come today?
Yes
Ok, so guess who this picture belongs to.
Xiao Gui
That's right. It's Zhu Zhengting.
It's Zhu Zhengting?
Oh, thank you.
It's Xiao Gui. Yeah.
Xiao Gui, out of all of these keywords, do you have anything that you want to share with everyone
about why you think about so many things in your head?
Which one do you want to share with everyone the most?
I guess the biggest one in the center.
Hip hop
Yeah because it's actually a topic of belief that's influenced me for a long time.
Since I was 13 until now, I've revolved around this as my main focus,
and I've thought of a lot of stories, including recent ones
That's right.
Because my life is included in it.
Really. So to maintain as handsome, his brain has to keep these things in mind.
Yeah, it's integrated into my life, I can't separate from it anymore.
- Became as one. - Yeah.
Ok. Seems like everyone's good at guessing, right?
Let's take a look at the second picture.
Who is it talking about?
First, I see a "bag"
Clothes
Hold on. This member is constantly thinking about bags and clothes.
Dream, novels
He's artsy.
Family, watching movies
Purchasing, Pearl Candy (ZZT's fandom)
Pearl Candy
Did any Pearl Candy's come?
Why do I feel like I don't hear any sounds?
Oh, yes.
So everyone, guess who this person is.
[Zhu Zhengting]
That's right. That person admitted it himself right?
Because earlier I said clothes and bags, and Zhengting secretly glanced at me.
You said "it's me." Yeah. Alright. Share with everyone one that you want to tell everyone the most.
Mine would be "dream"
Because um...I'm currently striving for my dream, which is why I am standing here today and meeting everyone.
and I will work even harder to be even closer to my dream
True. And as a fairy amongst the people, buying bags and clothes are a must, right?
This is very lifestyle-like. Write novels, read novels, watch movies
You mentioned that you want to share more with your fans online.
Actually you posted many times on Weibo.
Right?
If I remember correctly, it's him right?
There are typos sometimes, right?
You're still going to continue posting on Weibo, right?
No, no, no
I will pick more (something)
Alright. Thank you Zhengting.
Ok. Let's look at the next picture.
What is he thinking about in his head?
Wow, this one is extreme.
Placed "practice" right in the center. This is too diligent.
Eat, handsome, widsom, play, family
9%, NANA
She is indeed here.
Ok. Who is this person. Everyone let's say his name together.
- That's right. - XG: You Zhangjing. Yeah.
- Xiao Gui said You Zhangjing. - I'm a smooth dog.
Ok. We know which member it is now. Justin.
Actually, I really want to say that...um...Nana
First of all, nana is our lyrics, "na-na-na-na-na-na-na"
But it's not.
It's the Sister Na that we met from a few days ago. (host from variety show Happy Camp)
Is it? No it's not her either.
So did we just accidentally hear a cold joke just now?
So then who is she?
-Who is she? - It's my baby.
Are you sure everyone is going to (something) from his words today?
Damn. That's a lot of babies.
Yeah and I placed my babies in a special spot.
It's...oh it's right next to 9%
Aren't you being a bit too dangerous?
You almost said...
I'm kidding.
And if you see where it's placed, it's placed where my eyes should be.
That's right. They're placed right in your eyes.
You can see them with your eyes, right?
Wow, that's amazing.
But I think it's a bit inaccurate. Is the "eating" region really that small?
The "eating"...Mainly because Nana is around.
But there are a lot of things you like: spicy pot, poached pork, they're all your favorites right?
It's not big enough to be my most favorite.
Which is spicy.
This is our very hardworking, Justin!
Alright, let's look at the next picture.
What's in the Brain Talk
Have style
Eh, a person...Hold on. How can a person think about having style? I can't comprehend.
Manly.
Handsome.
Family. Oh, milk.
Legs?!
Whose legs?
Why are there so many people that are so willing (to share). My legs.
I worry about my legs.
Ok.
Nong Tang (Fandom) is in the most center. This person is
Chen Linong
That's right. Nong Nong, Chen Linong.
Nong Nong, share with everyone.
There's nothing to be said about Nong Tang being in the center.
It'll never move.
And being manly and handsome I think will also not move.
Singing, I think everyone all...
You guys said legs.
And family is a must.
Milk is something I like to drink. Yeah.
Nong Nong isn't speaking a lot today.
Kun Kun said--
He said that today I--
Speak few words.
Not speaking a lot.
Speaking few words.
No, Nong Nong, I have a question.
Having style, handsome, and manly, are you really implementing this?
Even though you're already handsome, but during live broadcasts, some people think they have to (something)
and not say pretty face.
Anyway, it's a different kind of handsome, right?
I think that I'm pretty handsome.
Is that right?
It's right.
That's right. Naturally confident is the way to go.
Alright. Ultimately, we understand what Nong Nong is thinking about in his mind.
This person. Wow
This person's brain consists of
Music occupied a lot of his life
And we can also see: positive energy, persistance, practice, career, health, nine percent
and iKun. Who is he?
Cai Xukun!
I think today's game is very easy to guess. right?
There's no challenge.
It's okay. Later on, we will have more games to play with everyone.
Kun Kun, please share with everyone.
Ok um...
First of all, music you know?
It can't be separated from my life.
And the second thing I wrote, right on top of music, is iKun,
It's also something that can't be separated from my life.
And an important point is that afterwards I wrote positive energy, which I hope to pass on to you guys
And my perserverance, so through my continuous hard work and practice...is this a bit too formal?
Yes
Career...
But why did I write Nine Percent? It's because
I hope that Nine Percent can actively produce good work for you guys.
So these are all the things that I wrote. Yeah.
These are all the things that I thought of at the moment, and I immediately wrote them down.
That's great.
And also, even though Kun Kun said himself that he was being a bit formal,
but I think it's his natural representation of positive energy
Then we are going to continue
to look at the next picture, alright?
It's okay. We can slow down the pace today and chat more with everyone.
Alright.
It (the picture) came out.
Games
rap
Work. Work. Work. Work. Work.
Cheng stars and family.
Who is this person?
Fan Chengcheng
But I can't understand. In Chengcheng's mind, is their really that much work?
Yeah just...
I was at...I've been taking airplanes and working
Really? So basically you're a workaholic.
Probably.
Yes. Then how do you explain this?
This was when I was sleeping, and a staff member suddenly woke me up.
And he told me, told me
Hurry, Chengcheng, you still haven't picked out (something) yet.
And I said, except for family, eveyone else (something)
Is this good for the staff members?
So we see that there's also games and rap
Aside from work, this is also important to you too.
Games I think are necessary when I am taking a break. To relax for a bit.
Because we usually will play games together
Whose better at playing games?
I already wrote "games" in my head and you still don't know whose better at playing games?
Let me tell you, you stood up just talking about games. What was that for?
So basically, you're the king of games.
Yeah, right?
Really good.
Do the fans know about this?
Do the fans know that Chengcheng is good at playing games?
They probably haven't seen me play yet. Next time, maybe I'll share my screen and play.
Everyone play together.
Everyone play together.
Everyone to play together. The fans will play together.
And you also like rap a lot.
Yeah, um... I've been working on how to make this thing even better, so I've been working on it.
That's great. Basically, just working hard. Ok. Thank you Chengcheng.
Next, let's take a look at the next picture.
The brain contains
manliness, theater, good humour, arts, family, showering
Music
dream
Who is this refering to?
Lin Yanjun!
This one is hard to comprehend. Let's hear him explain.
Ok?
Yanjun.
Huh? It's me, it's me.
Is it Ziyi?
Yeah um...when I was writing this thing, I thought for a long time.
And for now, in my plans, the things I want to focus the most are on here.
Yeah.
And arts, humour, music are things that I've been learning now.
And maniness is...yeah a feeling that I've been seeking after.
It's um...a feeling.
Take good care of people, and very um...yeah things like that.
And for my dream, dream was placed so big because my dream
is that aside from these,
there are more um...
it probably shouldn't be called a dream. It should be called a goal.
Yeah. And these goals um...
When I have the chance one day, I will show everyone each of them
because I think I shouldn't tell everyone my goals, I will just show each of them to everyone.
Yeah, and I believe you are alreadly slowly achieving a lot of your goals right?
Um, it's okay.
And while you're achieving your dreams, you have so many brothers accompanying you.
Yeah, I'm very grateful.
Good humour.
I'll talk about the family aspect.
My family includes
Yeah.
These are my family.
My family also includes dad, mom. Sorry.
Yeah.
And
Yeah. Showering. Yeah.
This is also important.
Showering is important.
Then for instance when you're working hard at practice,
and sometimes you have a show and rehearsals, then how do you shower?
I have to be well-timed. My showering time has decreased now.
For instance, earlier when I finished rehearsals and I sweated--
You showered in the backstage?!
Yeah.
I took a shower.
If Yanjun doesn't shower, he sweats easily.
Are we going to talk about something so personal on stage?
Yeah. Let's not mention it anymore.
Really. Basically revealed all of it to everyone.
And before, you mentioned um... manliness. We get it.
Because it's like...we understand you.
You're very good.
You're good at sports, doing planks.
No, no.
That's great! This is the very handsome and manly, Yanjun!
Ok. Let's look at the next one.
The next What's in the Brain Talk.
[ ISEE, music, work, eating, sleep, fashion, fitness, dance]
Eh?
This is interesting.
ISEE
Eh?
Let's say together who this person is.
Wang Ziyi!
That's right.
Wang Ziyi, share with everyone what you think about in your head.
The first one is ISEE.
As everyone can see, ISEE is my core.
It's also the center position in my brain.
And music, dance, fitness are all...
cannot leave out any one of them.
And fashion is my hobby.
And aside from from eating and sleeping, I also like to work.
So aside from eating, sleeping, working (mumbles cause he's laughing)
Wang Ziyi is so cute.
But I know that even though Wang Ziyi wrote these keywords,
but from my understanding of him, there should be more things on his mind.
Right? You didn't include all of it.
What else is there?
I did. Actually, before I was a bit conflicted because
Actually I personally would also really miss my family.
Yeah. Family is a very important, very important part of my life.
I cannot lose this part.
And I'll talk a bit about music.
Actually my...most favorite is music.
And I hope that in the future...I can learn more about music.
Yeah.
And fashion. I hope in the future I can learn more about fashion from like fashion designers.
And fitness is to persist on, and everyone also should do is, maintaining a good body that's in shape.
Yeah.
Dance.
For dance, it's actually just something that I've persisted with the longest.
Yeah. I still hope to learn even more,
more dance styles. Yeah.
Other dance styles?
Yeah.
Have you recently learned any new dance styles?
Actually recently, I've been learning less.
It's more of coming up with choreography. Yeah.
Wow, so you're trying out doing creations.
So I need to know a lot of dance styles. Like before I usually breakdanced.
Yeah.
When the groove comes down, if I incorporate other dance styles, it'll be even more enhanced.
Linking it all together.
Yeah.
And work. Men also (something)
To me, work is also very important.
Ohhh, I understand.
Does everyone like this kind of Wang Ziyin?
Yes!
And you can see the whole...
everything, including the members before Wang Ziyi.
You can see that everyone is not the same, yet they're very similar
That's why they can be a group and bring so many wonders and positive energy to everyone.
Alright. So this was Wang Ziyi's Inside the Brain Talk.
There's still one last member.
Let's take a look
at what he's thinking about in his mind.
Wow, this was written, so lazily.
Look, he wrote so many people in the middle.
[Center bubble: Friends, family, practice singing, You Precious Girls, practice dance] [Hunger, lose weight, vacation, listening to songs, good food, movies, TV shows]
Because I was more concerned about if I should be more greedy or not.
So my fans will...
I said...
I asked them if I should write more things and they said do whatever.
So I...So I wrote things from this time period that I definitely cannot forget into the middle.
Yeah.
Let's take a look at it one by one. The weight loss and hunger.
and the good food written on the bottom, is there anything linking them together?
Because I think there are, including your members, your bros, and some fans, that would tell you to eat less.
From what I am seeing now, you seem to be about 35 kg. Very skinny.
So good at speaking.
Did I see wrong or do I have myopia?
The microphone took up 5 kg already right?
So--
Because losing weight, if anyone lost weight before all know that it is a very contradicting situation.
- That's right. - Like you really
want to eat, but you're not allowed to eat, but you have to eat.
That conflicting?!
Yeah, very conflicting.
Yeah, so what method do you use? Then you should've written exercising anyhow.
You should've written working out anyhow.
Eh? Practicing dancing counts as exercising.
Practicing dance doesn't count. That's for work.
You don't have serious thoughts of losing weight.
Because sometimes when we practice dancing, we will run to practice breathing.
Yeah.
You feel a bit guilty yourself.
Ok. TV shows and movies.
Right.
Typically when I have time or I'm re...re...relaxing for a bit, I will watch TV shows and movies,
but recently I've been watching less.
I've mostly been listening to music.
And because recently work has been busy, so I actually kind of want to go on vacation.
Go play on an island.
Go where?
An island.
Because I like the sea.
Go. Would you want to bring your bros on vacation with you?
In private, I did tell them when there's an opportunity, we have to go. I'll bring them to Malaysia
Usually when people have the opportunity, you have to say most truthfully what really happened.
Like how many...how many days of vacation did they grant you, did you discuss where you'll go?
Bascially I'll bring them to Malaysia
To your home country.
Because (the food) is very good.
That's right.
The what's that thing called on the side of the streets? The kebabs.
Yeah.
What is it called? Satay.
Yeah, sa--
Satay
Accidentally started chatting on stage.
So did you share with the members about how to be happy by eating good food?
Actually in private, Chen Linong said I like to eat indiscriminantly.
And with regards to my good food, he...what is that thing called?
layered? standard?
Oh standard. He said my standards are lowered.
Because I like to order random things.
That's different. Because, Nong Nong, there are good things to eat there
Uh...how should I explain. I'm also very skilled at eating.
Yeah, but I've discovered that Zhangjing likes to randomly eat everything more and more.
When he eats everything, he'll think they all taste good.
I truly think it tastes good.
So sometimes I think that his tastes...
don't really have any standards.
He has too much universal love for eating.
We can find an opportunity, a time to PK.
You really want to PK eating food, is that it?
Then out of the members, who is most self-control for eating?
Who is skilled at eating, but has more awareness?
Eats Buddha-like (casually/calmly).
Is there anyone?
I think this is...
I think its Ziyi.
Because Ziyi pays a lot of attention to his health.
Ziyi, LIn Yanjun, Nong Nong are the types to eat healthy.
Last time I saw Lin Yanjun drink chicken soup, ginseng chicken soup
And--
Ginseng chicken soup?
drank it two times continuosly.
Drank ginseng chicken soup two times continuosly, Ziyi?
Yanjun, Yanjun.
Yanjun.
Scared me for a sec.
So is that a good thing?
It's good.
Why wouldn't chicken soup be good? It's very good.
No, it's just that...yeah because
you have to know to um...
- how do I say it? - maintain your health.
save my life.
Save your life?
Maintain my health.
Maintain your health.
Justin, doesn't like to eat proper meals as much.
He likes to eat less healthy foods, and--
Basically, Justin likes to eat spicy foods.
If it's spicy, he eats.
Like the meat in the ramen, he only eats the meat.
Meat in the ramen.
Only eats the meat, not the ramen.
And Zhengting...Zhengting basically eats expensive things.
What? Zhengting eats very expensive things.
Don't speak nonsense!
Hold on.
Let me tell you, I really am apologetic to all of the fans and friends of Beijing.
It accidentally becamse a situation where we started chatting.
Everyone started becoming very indulged in conversation.
Zhengting, Zhengting's style only appears expensive, and just appears extravagant.
For example, every time when he orders something and he shows me the money, I think that it seems very fancy.
Justin, you speak.
Every time he orders a lot. He doesn't order...When he orders he doesn't think about
how many people is eating nor does he calculate the price. He just directly goes,
"I want to eat it, I'm ordering. Oh I want to eat this too, I'm ordering."
"I want to eat this also, so I'm ordering it"
And in the end, 4 people are sharing dishes for 10 people.
No because every time I--
Every thing he wants to eat are all very--
I'm always thinking about my Pearl Candies and if they've eaten or not, you know?
So thoughtful
When we were disucssing earlier, I think Chengcheng had something to say, right?
I really want to complain a bit. His orders are really--
His orders are--
After we finish eating, a circle of...a table of members are all full with our bellies bulging.
Sitting like this, and looking at the table of food wondering what we should do.
And we can't be wasteful, so we had to eat a lot.
We had to stuff it down.
And I don't even finish my own order.
And then it'll be stored into the fridge to be finished later. I make them finish it.
I suddenly realized that Kun Kun seems to want a very, very thrifty life.
He places them into the fridge to be eaten slowly.
Wow, really a good role model.
Alright. Xiao Gui will eat it, right?
Yeah, I eat it.
Yeah, I don't have any requirements for eating. As long as I'm not starving, anything is fine.
So realistic.
Ok. Our game's You Zhangjing...

Episode 2 - That Is A City, Not A Name - Duration: 48:59.
[Intro Music]
Iman: You're In The Loop!
We're here to discuss the ups, downs and sideways of the sport of figure skating and
maybe give you +5 GOE along the way.
This week's hosts are: Iman,
Kite: Kite,
Kat: Kat,
Lo: and Lo.
Kat: Alright!
(Chorus of whoo).
Iman: Second episode, baby.
Lo: Episode number two.
Lo: This week's episode is on commentary and also iconic programs.
So we'll be talking about some of our favorite programs since the year 2000 or so.
Kat: This week's episode might be a little bit different from the last one, just because
of a very distinct lack of international accents and considering the number of people that
responded saying that they couldn't tell Lae and Evie apart I'm a little concerned about...
(Chorus of yeah).
Lo: We're all pretty generic Americans.
Kat: Yeah, sorry about that, guys.
Kite: We apologize, really, truly.
Kat: We will rectify that in future episodes but we thought we would do just a quick little
intro so that maybe you could just familiarize yourself with our voices, um, alright.
Iman: So, my name is Iman, I'm an 18 year old gremlin who knows what an axis is.
Kite: I'm Kite, I'm 21, I'm in New York, and I use my STEM degrees to yell about figure
skating protocols.
Kat: I'm Kat, I'm a 23 year old Chicago implant, I'm originally from New York,
I work as a lab technician and yet I spend most of my free time screaming about figure skating.
Lo: I'm Lo, I'm 27, and I am a teacher in the Midwest.
I have been crying about Michelle Kwan's spirals since 1998.
Kat: We're just gonna start off by quickly summarizing some of the biggest news from
the past few weeks and there's a lot to cover, but we don't really have a lot of
time, so we're just gonna list a couple of them.
Okay, so last weekend, Yuna Kim, skating for the first time since 2014 at All That Skate.
Iman: The queen, back at it again.
Kat: Amazing. She looked so beautiful.
Iman: Her costumes, completely - they are so gorgeous.
Kat: Like every single - she could wear a paper bag and look amazing.
Iman: But the pictures didn't do her justice.
When you saw her - like, when you actually saw her perform, it was like, 'oh, it's
like an angel'.
Kite: Bless the Korean fancams, thank you.
Iman: God bless fancams.
Lo: Korean fans are amazing. They're amazing.
Kat: The quality - ugh, so beautiful.
Kite: I was amazed, I was like 'this is professional, I don't believe that'.
Iman: Honestly, they have better footage than some actual networks.
But, I mean, (Lo: Most of them) we're getting there.
Iman: They don't have a sky cam there.
Lo, Kat: (Laughs).
That's true, that's true.
Kite: We're spared the sky cam. For now.
Iman: Someone brings a drone into the rink.
(Laughs).
Kat: Alright, next piece of news.
Kat: Aljona Savchenko to coach the Knierims, who left Delilah Sappenfield.
Lo: Pretty interesting.
Kat: I will be very fascinated. Aljona... she's a tough cookie.
Iman: It could - it could go either way, honestly.
Kat: Like I could 100% imagine Aljona, like, jumping over the boards, screaming at the
judges, and like…
Kite: Maybe that's what we need. That's what the sport needs.
Iman: I mean, I wanna see that. I wanna see someone fight the judges. It's gonna be great.
Lo: I think it really shows a commitment from the Knierims, that they really want to
solidify themselves as the top US pairs team.
They're not going to quit, even though they've had a rough season, they're gonna keep going,
and I think that's really admirable.
Kat: Yeah. A lot of respect to them. Okay, third piece of news.
Tarasova and Morozov, another pair, they're leaving Nina Mozer to work with Maxim Trankov.
Which is really interesting considering Trankov and Volosozhar were Aljona and Robin's biggest
rivals for, like, an entire quad.
Iman: See, I feel like that's the best way you could say it, it is interesting.
Kat: It is fascinating.
Kat: And also because Trankov's working with, um, I think he's working with Robin Szolkowy.
Iman: We'll just have to wait and see what this brings about. The outcomes of this.
Lo: Very interesting. I hope they get better packaging, I do not want to see another Candyman from them,
please, they deserve better, they're very talented.
Kat: They're really solid in a lot of their elements.
Iman: Let's hope they get good programs, because Candyman
made me want to wrench my eyes out. It was just - awful.
Kat: I can't believe we ended both the Olympics and Worlds with Candyman.
Iman: That's just - it's not a good way to end!
It's not a good way to end.
Kat: The last piece of news - so, yesterday, the ISU released proposals for updated element
base values, scale values and level guidelines for singles and pairs!
(Chorus of oof).
Iman: We're not gonna get too into it, because um, we don't have enough time at all, so
next week's episode, they're gonna dive into that more.
Kite: We'll wait for the Congress to actually happen before we say anything definitive about that.
Kat: We thought we'd also mention that the ISU Congress is running from June 4th-8th
and it'll be livestreamed on the official ISU skating YouTube channel, which will be
a lot of fun, I think all of us are going to be watching that.
Lo: It might be a drinking game, maybe, maybe not, we'll see.
Kat: We'll see.
Kite: It could. It could - that could be dangerous, actually.
Let's not do that. Don't drink and watch the ISU Congress, guys.
[End of segment]
Lo: Now for our next segment, we will be talking about commentary.
First of all, we'd like to acknowledge that commentary is a super difficult thing to do.
It's hard to make the balance between pleasing long time fans and more casual fans, who might
just be checking in for big competitions like Nationals, or the Olympics, or Worlds.
So - it's not easy, folks. It's very difficult.
Iman: You can cut them some slack, but then again, there's some things that you just
sort of can't forget - or forgive.
Kat: I think the important thing is that we don't wanna paint commentary specifically
as uniformly bad or good.
I know we probably all have a couple of commentators that we're like 'oh, we don't really
want to listen to them' or we're not a huge fan of maybe the way they express their
opinions, or the opinions themselves - but everyone messes up and says stuff wrong, but
they might have some insight in other aspects so we do wanna be fair to those people.
Like - not everyone is perfect, even commentators that I like.
Iman: People are bound to mess up.
And you know, sometimes you might just not like a person because of their voice or sometimes
- oh, they said this thing, and you might have a bias against that person.
You just have to find - either you don't watch, or watch without commentary, or you
find that one pair of commentators who are perfect for you.
Kat: Yeah, I mean, it's really hard to strike that balance I think.
We do have to acknowledge that commentators have a difficult job in that they are catering
to their own specific audiences - they're catering to their own specific nation's
audiences, so it might sound biased to people who aren't in that country, but ultimately
they're TV commentators who wanna make money for their network.
Lo: I mean, it's their job to sell a product, and the product is the skaters from their
home nation, assuming this is kind of a national broadcaster, so it's their job to sell certain
narratives that their feds are pushing.
That's what they do.
It's their job.
So you can be upset with it, you can not like that narrative, but it's how it is.
You don't like it, then find a different commentator.
Iman: Also, bias is bound to happen because it's human nature, sometimes you might like
a skater and it can be very blatant when they like a skater versus when they don't like
a skater and that's - it's not nice hearing that.
One second they're just praising a skater to high heaven and then sort of ignoring another
one like - 'oh they're great, but this other skater, wow they're amazing, and they're
gonna rule the world' and whatnot - so it can be annoying, but it's sort of understandable, I guess.
Lo: It's human nature.
Lo: We all have our own biases, and non-favorites, for lack of a better term, and it's natural
that commentators are like that as well, although it should be their job to have some measure
of objectivity, but that human bias is still gonna creep in and I think that's okay to a certain degree.
It's a problem when they're just blatantly ignoring certain flaws, or are overly criticizing
the skater while worshipping another.
Kite: Yeah, it's important to remember that commentators are kind of like a new viewer's
gateway to figure skating, in a way.
Because when you tune in, if you're a new fan, chances are you don't really know what's
going on with the sport.
It's a really technical sport and so you really rely on the commentators to ease you
slowly into that and to explain what's actually happening on the ice.
And that's why it's so important I guess to address this, because that can really make
or break viewership, which is, let's be honest, not doing super great in the US, like,
in the 90's and the early 2000's figure skating was on TV every weekend.
They show Nationals, maybe the last group or last two groups of Worlds, the Olympics,
and that's pretty much it for the year, you really don't get live events anymore.
Iman: It's disappointing.
Iman: It's disappointing because you have people who want to be able to see all of these competitions
but if they're not getting any traction, then what's the point, you know, if there's
no money in it then what's the point.
Lo: You got to make money, they're trying to make money, but unfortunately it's not
a money generating sport.
Iman: Also another, as to what Kite was saying about newer fans, or people who are, you know, more casual
It can be very helpful, because you know sometimes you may watch and you think 'oh, this person,
they're doing amazing', but the commentator says 'oh, no!
They did this wrong or they did that wrong or their technical score is going to be high
because of this or it's going to be low because of that', and they, like, for example
they say the jump - 'oh, that's a quad sal' and you'd look 'oh, that's what
it looks like', you're not going to think 'oh, everything is a triple axel' because
everything is a triple axel in the beginning for everyone.
Kat: Yeah, that's a good point.
The commentators' jobs are kind of to highlight what is important, what you're supposed
to be watching in figure skating just because from an outsider's perspective, figure skating
is pretty technical and for the most part everyone looks similar, they're all skating
on the ice but you know, talking about skating skills, jumps, all of those things, they don't
really mean anything to most new viewers, and it's also a matter of most commentators
also have to find balance - simplifying figure skating terminology for the sake of these
casual viewers but also trying to be as informative as possible without overloading.
Kite: For people who are interested in learning it, yeah.
Iman: Sometimes, like some technical aspects, trying to explain that is going to take a
lot longer, and it will be, like, if they went into that, people who don't know much
about figure skating will be completely lost and that will be off-putting for them.
It will be like 'oh, what's the point of me watching it if I can't understand what they're saying?'
Kat: Also, I feel because a lot of new viewers tend to focus in on jumps, especially for
Singles and Pairs, that's what the commentators also tend to highlight as well - they tend
to point out a lot of the jumps, mentioning whether or not someone did well with the jump,
I guess.
But at the same time, because you're a new viewer, and you don't know what's important
and you just think the jumps are the only thing that's important, without highlighting
the other aspects of figure skating that, you know, make it more complete - not just jumping.
So, I think that - my personal favorite commentators are some of the ice dancers in the US, like
Tanith [White], Charlie [White] and Ben [Agosto], they all do a really good job.
They're constructive and they're informative at the same time, but they don't always
just focus on the jumps, they focus on a lot of the other aspects, like skating skills,
musicality - that kind of thing.
Lo: They manage to keep things very positive as well, they'll be critical of skaters
when they mess up but in a way that is constructive and informative to the viewer.
So it's very pleasant as a viewer, to me at least.
I don't like it when they pile on certain skaters, like, we know they messed up if they've
fallen four times, you don't need to go over and over it again - maybe explain why
they might have fallen, where did they go wrong, was their axis crooked, etc.
Iman: It's distracting when they start, you know, spewing negative comments instead
of informing how they could've possibly made the jump or what might be the reasoning
behind them falling, they just start criticizing them for missing that jump, it's like
'oh, he's gonna lose so many points for this', 'is he gonna be able to make this or that?', and it's like-
Lo: Okay, why are they losing points? What went wrong going into the jump?
Could you please tell us instead of just saying they're a disaster?
Iman: Instead of belittling the skater for their mistakes, they should be more subjective
and be like, you know, 'this is what happened, they still have this left in their program'.
Kite: That's why I think the TES box that they're putting in the top corner of the
broadcast is a good thing, I think it is and it goes in real time.
Kat: The one for Worlds?
Kite: Yeah
Kat: Amazing. I like that you can see the element names and then the GOE and everything.
Iman: That's very, that's so - I feel like that's going to be so helpful for newer
fans and that's why newer fans this year have been able to grasp onto elements so fast,
because you have that there and you're able to say 'oh, so that's what they're doing?',
and you're able to follow along with the sport and not just sit there, you know, with
your mouth open like 'what is going on?'.
Lo: You expect commentators to tell you everything - which they can't, they can't do that,
so it's really nice, like - I didn't really learn the jumps until 2007, because we just
didn't have the technology back then, which sounds like I'm talking about the Stone Age
and 2006 wasn't the Stone Age - but it might as well be, you know?
Kat: I feel like it's also easier on the commentators to have the TES box, because
you don't have to be like 'oh, beautiful quad sal', or, you know, you don't have
to keep naming all of the elements if they're already being shown to you in real time.
It is an issue of 'when should you be talking during a figure skating program?' or
'at what point do you step back and just let the program speak for itself?'.
Iman: There are some commentators who speak at the worst times, like, you're trying
to focus on a program and the music is beautiful, the skater - they're really into it, you're
watching them express themselves through, you know, figure skating, and then you just
have this voice talking about the most irrelevant stuff -
Lo: This is what this person was like when they were ten, whatever, it's like, I don't
really need to hear about this right now.
Iman: It's so annoying.
Kat: The bantering, like, (Iman: Oh, yeah, no no no) random banter during programs is
one of my pet peeves, I just absolutely hate it.
Iman: There's no point in making jokes.
Lo: That's not what we're here for, it's not what we're here for.
Kite: I feel like it's especially difficult when the commentary is in a different language,
so a lot of people watching don't even know what they're saying but they're talking a lot.
Honestly, shout out to the fans who go to the trouble of translating that commentary for the rest of us.
(Chorus of agreement and thank you).
Kat: I mean, I sometimes watch the Russian Youtube videos, if I need to see replays after
performances that I've missed and man, some of the Russian commentators, like (Tatiana)
Tarasova, she just - she just goes off, she really loves to talk through programs.
Kat: I have no idea, (Kite: Like 'what are you saying?')
Kat: I love that you can hear her in other people's commentary, like in the CBC commentary you
can hear her yelling in the background.
(Laughs).
Kat: Iconic.
Lo: What is she saying? What is going on in her brain?
I would pay to know.
Iman: I feel like with some commentators, they have so much enthusiasm and emotion,
(Kat: I love it) even if you may not understand what they're saying, you're enjoying it,
because you're just like 'you know what, I feel the same thing'.
Sometimes commentators get choked up or they start laughing because they're like
'oh, this is so amazing, how are they doing this?', and you feel that emotion with them,
cause you're like 'you know what, me too, man'.
Lo: I just like commentators that you can tell enjoy their job and care about the sport
they're talking about, because honestly in some other sports that I follow the commentators do not care.
They don't care about learning the rules, they don't care about the athletes
and it's incredibly frustrating as a viewer to watch.
So what's one of the things I look for in figure skating commentators
do you care about the sport you're following? Most of them do, to their credit.
Pretty much all of them do. But in some other sports that's not the case.
Iman: Speaking about not caring for a sport, some commentators do not care about getting
pronunciations right and that is such a big pet peeve.
(Kite: Oh my God) It's so annoying, because sometimes - like, Shoma Uno is not a hard name!
Kite: It's four syllables, y'all. It's four syllables.
Kat: I feel like it's the bare minimum.
Not only that, sometimes it's just so infuriating when the commentator gets the name wrong after
hearing it over the speakers, you know what I mean?
It's just so jarring, like, did you not just listen to them say the name?
Kite: You're doing this deliberately.
Iman: Sometimes the pronunciation is not even a pronunciation, they just create a completely
new name, like, freaking Yazunori?
(Laughs).
Kite: Syllables that didn't exist.
Kat: Kite and I definitely feel that solidarity - that Chinese name solidarity, though. The poor Chinese names.
Listen, we're not too picky, I think we're not too picky.
Saying Han Cong, like, even acknowledging that the C is not a hard K sound, that's the bare minimum,
Shout out to Terry Gannon who's so far the only one - I'm not sure, correct me if I'm
wrong - but Terry Gannon so far is the only commentator that I've heard actually make
an attempt at his name.
Kite: I don't think anyone expects him to get it perfectly, (Kat: Yeah) because it is
a different language, but at least do your research. Wikipedia can help you.
Lo: His name is not Han Kong.
Kite: Exactly.
Iman: Han Kong, that's... amazing.
Lo: That is a city, that is not a name.
Kat: Sueey Wenjing, oh boy.
Iman: I feel bad because I always thought her name was Sueey and now it's like,
'oh, it's not?', and when you find out later on - and that's misleading towards newer fans too.
Lo: You're not a commentator, you're not getting paid to read people's names.
Kat: Yeah, you should do your research. It's the bare minimum and it's just, you know,
disrespectful to any person to not at lease make an attempt.
Iman: Imagine you're going off to skate and you're nervous and you're like
'oh, I have to do this', and they completely butcher your name. It's just so off-putting.
Kite: It's really, like, insult to injury, not really, but like -
Iman: It is. It's like, 'oh, great, they don't know how to say my name'.
And some of the names they mispronounce - like Javier, that's not a hard name.
Lo: No.
Iman: That's not a hard name, but then it's just like 'Javiey'.
It's not even - it's an accent thing, at least respect the accent of where the name is coming from.
It's a Spanish name, don't turn it into an English thing.
That's just something that bothers me, personally.
Kat: Just in general, I think that commentators should be held accountable for doing proper research
Even things like mentioning injuries or other extraneous circumstances around the skaters
- I mean, most do, but sometimes they skip it and those kinds of small things, even minor
injuries do provide a lot of context for someone's performance if you don't know who they are.
Lo: Personally, I also think it's important that they should mention any conflicts of
interest, for example, if they coach any skaters who are currently performing or if they've
ever trained with them in the past or choreographed for them in the past.
Sometimes that does not get mentioned and you can tell, there's a difference in their commentary.
Some are able to keep it professional, some are not.
Kat: I'm always conflicted about this, because coaches and skaters are pretty common knowledge,
so maybe they just assume that people know it and that they don't have to mention it.
I know that Carol Lane has mentioned offhand that she coaches Piper and Paul, but I don't
remember if Tracy Wilson ever mentioned it.
Iman: No, she hasn't. I don't think she has.
Kat: She hasn't, right? But she commentates them all the time and it's just a casual thing.
Iman: It is but it should be, you know, 'that's my skater right there'.
Kite: For casual fans, I think it might still be a good idea for this to be mentioned, because
you can't expect them to know which skater is coached by which coach or whatever.
Kat: That's true, that's true.
Iman: If they do say 'oh, this is my skater', the viewer might be, like, 'oh, they might
have a bit of bias in this', you know.
It might be like 'oh, that's their skater', but they might be a little more lowkey and be like 'oh no, that's fine.'
But actually no, they're the coach so they will be a bit more critical about it.
Lo: So obviously the things that we like the least in our
commentators is genuinely and truly problematic behavior.
For example, questioning the gender of skaters is not okay.
Making extremely stereotypical and racist comments about a skater's nationality is also not okay.
Kat: Yeah, there's some pretty terrible and egregious examples of racism and sexism in commentary.
Not only does it cast a really awful negative light on the skaters themselves, but also
on the sport, you know?
Iman: It does, it does.
Iman: This is supposed to be, as people say, more of an accepting sport, but then you see commentators
saying such awful and nasty things and you're like 'is it really, though?'.
Kat: Yeah, sometimes I feel like figure skating does have some negative stereotypes, you know,
a lot of male figure skaters face a lot of negative stereotypes, and then to hear commentators
- people who are deemed experts in the sport - reinforce the stereotypes, it's just the
impression that the viewers are going to have as well.
Iman: It's something they don't have a right to question - something like 'what's their sexuality?'
or 'what's their gender?', they shouldn't have an input in that because that's not what they're commentating
Lo: They're commentating on the performance
and for them to make rude, egregious comments about a skater or about something that has nothing
to do with their skate, it's disrespectful, it's rude and it's unnecessary.
Kat: And unprofessional, too!
Kite: It's ultimately uninformative and the point of a commentator really is to be
informative about figure skating and to tell us what's going on on the ice. It's not relevant at all.
Lo: That's the ultimate sin as a commentator, in my opinion.
Iman: You see some examples of what some commentators say and you just think 'how did they get
away with this?', because they're just - it's disgusting because it's homophobic,
it's sexist, it's transphobic and you don't need this from a commentator. That's not their job.
Kat: It doesn't do anything to advance figure skating viewership around the world - perpetuating
awful negative stereotypes or even, like, lies about skaters and those kinds of things.
Iman: Or bringing in, like, scandals and stuff - or rumors, not scandals, rumors.
Lo: Yeah, rumors, just gossip, petty gossip.
It's completely unnecessary and has nothing to do with the sport.
Iman: 'This skater might be gay', 'this skater might be this' - that doesn't matter.
If you're really trying to fill in the time while you're commentating,
just don't say anything. Just let the viewer enjoy the skate.
Kat: To be fair, I think that the vast majority of commentators are overwhelmingly positive
about skaters and about the sport.
Lo: They don't make it personal.
Kat: Yeah, it's not a personal attack or anything but, you know,
these kinds of egregious comments do exist. We're not gonna pretend like they don't exist.
Kite: Yeah, it's hard to talk about commentary without talking about things like this.
Kat: Sometimes it's not even the really, really blatantly sexist stuff - like some
of the stuff that was said about Johnny Weir - but just offhand comments that sound kind
of vaguely, you know -
Lo: This skater's a man's man kind of thing.
Kat: Right.
Kat: Or saying stuff like, you know, 'Japanese skaters tend to portray wilting flowers', that's like-
Iman: It's such a stereotypical and downright racist thing to say.
Kat: Exactly, it just makes you scratch your head.
Iman: It just makes you go 'um, no'. It makes you feel uncomfortable, because that's not right.
Kite: It's not. It's not accurate, either.
Iman: It's not accurate at all.
Lo: It's very tired, it shows that they didn't do their research.
Iman: If you're gonna tell me, you know, 'Wakaba Higuchi is a wilting flower',
Kite: Skyfall would like a word with you.
Iman: I'm going to scream at you and tell you 'are you blind?'
Kat: That comment that I was mentioning was actually during Wakaba's Skyfall, it was like
'most Japanese ladies portray wilting flowers and it's nice to see Wakaba portray someone strong.'
like 'We haven't seen someone like her since Miki Ando'.
Lo: Oh boy.
Kite: Mao Asada would like a word with you.
Kat: My thoughts exactly. But like I said, the majority of commentary, I think, is constructive and it is informative,
but obviously there are some, you know, improvements (to be made) -
I personally do still learn a lot from commentators
Kat: I think Ice Dance is probably one of the more abstract disciplines to watch (Lo: Definitely, I need this)
Like, my mom was watching the Team Event Short Dance and she was texting me like
'oh, I thought that this program was really good' and then the commentator was like
'nope, she did this wrong and this wrong and this wrong', so I was like 'oh, okay'.
Iman: Ice Dance on its own is really hard to interpret though,
you see these skaters gliding, floating around (Kat: Thank you Tanith White, I love her)
and you're like 'this is so beautiful, I love it, it's so graceful', and then you hear commentators saying
'oh, this is disrespectful to the sport, what are you doing?'
and you're just sitting there like 'oh, nevermind'.
Kat: I respect Tanith (White) a lot actually, just because she's pretty constructive to
everyone but she's not afraid to voice her opinions as well.
I remember during the Free Dance [Correction: Short Dance], (Tessa) Virtue and (Scott) Moir
got a level 2 on their rhumba (pattern) and she was explaining that Tessa had a flat choctaw
and the judges may have called it, so they got a level 2, but she couldn't see it from her angle...
Those kinds of things are really, really informative, so respect to her.
Lo: Genuinely insightful stuff and it's very necessary for me as someone who doesn't
know Ice Dance as well as Pairs and Singles, it's super good to have that level of expertise
for Ice Dance in particular.
Iman: It just gives you background knowledge, and you're able to sort of keep it with
you for the next time when you're watching, so you can be like 'oh, they called that
out and I know what they're talking about now'.
Kat: Yeah, agreed.
[End of segment]
Kite: And now we're gonna talk about some of the most iconic programs from 2000 and beyond.
Kat: Yeah, so we each picked one program from each discipline, which meant a lot of our
faves got cut, but for the interest of time - we know that we didn't get everyone's
favorite programs on this list and, you know, we're sorry in advance but we had to limit it.
Iman: Iconic is a pretty loaded term - because, you know, figure skating is subjective, so
our favorite programs might not be yours and that's perfectly fine, because everyone has their own opinions.
Kat: My program for the Ladies' was Yuna Kim's 2010 Olympic Free Skate
"Gershwin Rhapsody in F".
Oh man, I have so many favorite Yuna programs, like, I was thinking between this one and
also Danse Macabre, but then I ended up picking Gershwin just because - I just think that
this particular piece of music is just so incredibly abstract, which I think makes it
so much harder to interpret and yet I love it so much.
I'm usually not such a huge fan of really, really abstract music, but Yuna's skating
to it just highlights her musicality and her incredible interpretation skills so well.
She just sells every moment and she just looks like she's freestyling through some of it,
and, you know, on top of doing some of the most difficult elements, like the Ina Bauer
into the double axel, it's just amazing.
And then considering the circumstances of that moment - we talk about iconic programs
in terms of the program itself but also in terms of the circumstances, like, why are
they so well known through history?
Maybe it's at the Olympics, it was an Olympic moment, this was an Olympic moment for sure.
You know, she was under so much pressure -
Lo: One of the best Olympic performances ever.
Kat: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what Sandra Bezic said too, you know.
Lo: It was and it - it genuinely was.
It's one of the most memorable for me.
She had so much pressure on her, she was the unanimous favorite going in, she had her entire
country watching her and she just delivered on the best possible -
Iman: Oh, what a way to deliver.
What a way to deliver.
Kat: Yeah, I always thought that Yuna was like the definition of how technique lends
itself to artistry, she had perfect jumps, gorgeous spins, incredible musicality, (Kite: Textbook jumps.)
Kat: Textbook, yeah.
Kite: Her opening triple lutz triple - oh my -
Iman: The height on her jumps is just phenomenal.
Kite: She doesn't hesitate, (Kat: Yeah) it's incredible.
Iman: She really doesn't, that's another thing that I love about Yuna is how seamless
her skating is, like you'll see - it doesn't seem like this is choreographed, it just seems
like she just got on the ice and it was just off the top of her head (Kat: Exactly) and she's just going.
Kat: Interpretation through the roof.
Kite: It feels like she's painting on a blank canvas, is the way I view that program.
Kat: I totally agree with that metaphor just because, like, the abstract nature of the
music and the way that she moves across the ice, you know.
Kite: And to see her face at the end, like, Yuna was always a pretty stoic competitor,
you know, back in the -
Kat: You knew that that was a big moment, yeah.
Kite: Yeah, like, just watching her finally break down was - it's indescribable.
Kat: Still the benchmark to me for a 150+.
Kite: Absolutely, like, yeah, the scoring system has changed since then, but -
Lo: It holds up, it holds up.
Kat: It held up for 6 years, right?
Iman: I feel like if she performed that today she would still have been able to, you know,
hold up against the newer skaters.
And that just shows how good she is, (Kite: Timeless) if she went back into competition
today, she would be able to hold up against these, you know, younger girls and that's
just so amazing and I just love Yuna - I'm sorry, ok, continue.
Kat: No, I think we're good.
Lo: Ok, so, for the men I chose Daisuke Takahashi's "Swan Lake", aka Cyberswan.
(Chorus of cheers)
Basically I could've chosen literally anything Dai ever did because he is just the best,
but I went with Cyberswan just because - if there is one program that I love to show people
who aren't really into figure skating, this is the one.
It's so entertaining, it's so unique, the step sequence is obviously just -
it's iconic - and there are two of them.
There's two different footwork sequences and they're both just - he's a rockstar.
He just completely owned it, it's so innovative, there's never been anything like it before,
there hasn't been anything like it since, nobody can do that but him.
He's the king, I love him.
Iman: That's something I love about his program, it's because he added a variation
- a hip hop variation to a classic and he made it work, it wasn't cringy.
You see some programs where they try to mash in different types of music and it just doesn't
work, and, you know, his costume, and obviously his footwork
Kite: Yeah, that was a lot of costume.
Iman: Listen, the hair? The hair was amazing.
Kite: But it worked!
Kat: It worked so well, yeah.
You don't see a lot of hip hop in figure skating, let alone hip hop variations.
Kite: A hip hop warhorse? Amazing.
Lo: He literally remixed it with Beyoncé. God bless him.
And he looks like a Johnny's idol.
Everything you could want, so entertaining, so genuinely good, his jumps were at his best
at that point, in my opinion.
Iman: And just his charisma (Lo: Unparalleled), his charisma throughout his whole performance,
because I feel, like, had anyone else done that performance it would've been so strange,
because he had that smug look on his face and he was just like 'you know what, I know
what I'm doing right now and I know that I'm amazing you' and that just makes you
enjoy the performance even more, because it's just, like, this dude is doing that and no
one else can do that.
Lo: One of my favorite things about it is just the crowd, it's just - they're just
losing their minds like they're at a concert or something and it's so cool, he just brings
that reaction out of you, he was so special.
Iman: It's so amazing.
You know, honestly, if I was in that crowd I would have lost it as well, I would've cried.
Lo: Wouldn't we all? He deserves it, he deserved every single thing.
He's the king of musicality. Whenever someone asks for a definition of musicality in figure skating,
Whenever someone asks for a definition of musicality in figure skating,
I find it hard to say, so I'll just say 'just watch a Dai program and you'll understand'.
He feels it, he feels it in every movement. God bless him. I love him.
Kat: My favorite pair of all time, everyone who knows me knows that they're my favorite
pair of all time, it's Shen [Xue] and Zhao [Hongbo].
Their 2003 World Championship Free Skate to "Turandot", it's, like, it's iconic.
It's the OG Turandot, I think.
Lo: The best.
Kite: It should've been retired after this, honestly.
Kat: Yeah, honestly.
Lo: Except for Shizuka [Arakawa], Shizuka could skate to it too.
Kat: True, true.
But, like, Shen and Zhao deserve a royalty every time it's skated to.
Kite: Yeah, you gotta credit them.
Kat: Shen and Zhao are probably the most iconic pair of the 2000s, they were dominant for so long.
I mean, it was basically - this was the program that introduced me to Pairs, when I was eight
years old, seven years old.
I didn't know Pairs was a discipline until I saw Shen and Zhao.
They have such incredible chemistry - they did eventually end up getting married, but
this was before they even started dating.
I feel like they were one of the most complete pairs of the 2000s - they had amazing throws,
amazing musicality - honestly, anyone who says that East Asian skaters are not expressive,
like, go watch that program and come back to me.
Iman: Honestly, the quality wasn't even - the quality [of the video] was not good
and I could still see that they were very expressive.
Kite: It was, like, filmed on a potato and it's -
Kat: It's so unfortunate because this was the same program that they used the previous
year, in 2002, and there's a high quality version of that video on Youtube.
Kite: That's infuriating.
Kat: Yeah. But the program itself - I really enjoy that they use a unique music cut, actually.
They include the kind of Chinese influenced music in the middle of that track, that people
very rarely include.
It allowed for a lot - for a little bit more creativity with the choreography.
The lifts, so gorgeous - I think that 6.0 lifts were a lot more aesthetically pleasing,
I'm not really a huge fan of the whole grabbing blades thing, I like the open look, you know,
with the legs out, (Lo: I agree) whatever, I'm not gonna get too salty about that.
And then the Nessun Dorma part, oh my God, gets me so emo.
Kite: Just the music gets me emotional.
Iman: Honestly, as soon as the Nessun Dorma part hits, I feel like - I get chills and
I get emotional, it's so beautiful.
Kat: And the crowd's reaction - they start applauding and they get a standing ovation,
like, thirty seconds before they even end, and you can hear them - once they finish the
program, you can hear the crowd chanting 'six, six, six, six' in the background - and this
was in D.C., so it wasn't even a hometown crowd, you know?
And, like, this skate - this piece was so legendary that Sui [Wenjing] and Han [Cong]
used it for their Olympic skate, obviously - and they even had to ask permission to skate to it!
And Zhao Hongbo said "yeah, you can skate to it, but you have to skate to it better than we did."
(Laughs).
Kat: That's why I really didn't mind that Sui and Han were using it, I knew that this piece
was so integral to the Chinese Pairs legacy, and, like, Wenjing said that she was inspired
to skate by watching them skate Turandot in the 2002 Olympics, so that just shows the
magnitude, and, like - before we even move on I just wanna quickly go on a Pairs spiel
because they make me super emotional for so many reasons, but their coach, Yao Bin, was
the first ever Chinese Pairs skater and he learned to skate through photographs, because,
you know, China was censoring Western images and all of that, so they really couldn't
get a lot of material to learn.
He was bad, he was pretty bad - he went to Worlds three times in the 80s and placed dead
last each time - it was really really sad.
There were stories about how they were laughed off the ice and they were actually really
really funny, but after he retired he was like 'nope, screw that, I'm gonna turn
China into a Pairs powerhouse', and then twenty years later, Shen and Zhao became the
first Chinese pair to ever win an Olympic medal in Pairs and the first to win a World
title, so, you know (Lo: Yes!), even though the 2003 Worlds - where they won their second
World title - is the most famous iteration, it feels like the culmination of all of their
hard work, because they kind of messed up in 2002 a little bit.
I just really love the image of Yao Bin crying when they finished, it just really gets me.
Iman: I just, when you see, you know a grown man like that cry after seeing that performance,
like, 'you know what, this is beautiful, this is amazing'.
After you see that performance and it's just, you know you're just blown away by
the chemistry between those two, like you know i'm not surprised that they got married
but the use of music, their musicality, their jumps, spins, everything, it's just so,
just the whole package was just so robust like, you know what, this is pairs skating should be like.
Kat: Yup!
Iman: And that's saying something.
Lo: I have to say that this program also gave me my all-time favorite commentating moment,
when the British E(uro)sports guys saw that one of the judges rank them second in ordinals
and threatened to spank them. So good! Completely right, amazing.
So, yeah, that's my favorite commentary moment ever,
it probably will never be topped. It's just the most accurate.
Kite: So, my favorite (Ice) Dance program is actually [Meryl] Davis and [Charlie] White's
Scheherazade from the Sochi Olympics.
I mean, they were dominant for two seasons, undefeated prior to the Olympics.
And just - I mean, from the very beginning that opening curve lift, I think they said
that they actually trained that for about two years but they never put it in a program
because it was that difficult.
(Kat: That entry is so crazy, yeah) He grabs her by the wrist and like -
Kat: Just holds her on his back!
Kite: they make it look effortless like you were saying and it's - I mean.
Iman: Again it's like she just flew into his - you know, it's amazing.
Kat: The choreography in the beginning is also so gorgeous.
Kite: The changes in music are really good, I think.
Iman: Also Meryl looks like a Greek goddess.
Kat: She does!
Lo: She looks like Megara. Megara from Hercules.
Kat: Charlie is also such a good performer, I feel like he gets overlooked a little bit,
he's a very, very good performer.
Iman: He's fantastic, and I feel like people sort of - I get why - Meryl is just, she is
sort of like, again like with Sui (Wenjing).
Kite: He, like, shows her off very very well, yeah.
Iman: He does show her off very well.
Lo: He knows exactly how to frame her.
Kat: You know, he exudes a lot of charisma himself.
Kite: It's like, they were the first American (Ice) Dance team ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
Lo: They left a real impact. I miss them, a lot.
Kite: Yeah, it's like an Olympic program.
Like when you think of an Olympic program, that's kind of what you think of.
It's fitting that it happened with Scheherazade - that they won the Olympic gold.
Iman: Meryl and Charlie, please come back, we need you. Dance is dying.
Kite: I mean, they haven't officially retired - it could happen!
Kat: True.
Kite: If you're listening.
Iman: Can they please come back?
Honestly, I would cry.
Kite: So, for our grand finale, we have collectively decided on one program that we believe to
be the most iconic of the 2000s and that is...
Kat: I mean, [Yuzuru Hanyu's] Seimei.
Lo: Seimei.
Iman: It's Seimei. It's Seimei.
Ugh, what to say, where to start.
Kite: Can we just, okay, we will start on like the opening note of when the music, when
the program starts (Kat: That look on his face!) that's his breath on the recording!
Iman: Even before the music starts, he deliberately put in his own breath, (Kite: Because it calms him down)
it calms him down and it sort of helps him focus and that's just such -
(Kite: Like, who does that?) he's so calculated, he knows what's gonna help him and the fact
that he edited [Correction: helped to edit] the music himself.
Kat: It's just the amount of detail that he put into the construction, every single
part of it - the choreography, the music edits, the costuming.
You know all of these things that - this was his passion project, he personally put in
so much of his soul into this program.
Like you could really, really feel it, yeah.
Lo: He met the actor from the movie, (Kat: Yeah!)
Shae-Lynn Bourne watched the movie for him so she could get an idea of what he wanted
to portray on the ice.
Kat: Yeah, and it's just so representative of the Japanese culture, which he really,
really wanted to portray.
Japanese music is not that often used, or at all (Lo: No, never used almost) used in
figure skating and it's so representative of his culture, which is so minimalist, I think.
You know, doing the most with the least.
Iman: And that's such a bold move to sort of, y'know, stray away from Western music,
which is obviously - (Kat: Yeah, he knew it was a risk!) it was a huge risk because if
he strayed away from - like, for example, there's an entire segment that's just
drums, right? The step sequence.
Lo: Just drums.
Kite: It's a masterpiece, a masterpiece in using suspense.
Iman: That's such a difficult thing to do, to not have music to back you up and he just
went with it, and you see - it's just so perfect.
You could see how much effort he put into it - the musicality, the step sequence,
the choreography - ugh, everything is just phenomenal.
Kat: And yeah, the choreographic sequence at the end always gets me.
Lo: Iconic, the hydroblade.
Kite: Especially in the Olympic skate, oh my God.
Kat: Breaking character just for a moment!
Like, right after his spin, you could just see the smile exuding, he just knew he did it.
Iman: You could see him grinning and it's like he knew he did it.
Lo: It was special - who cares if it wasn't really in sync, it didn't really matter.
Iman: That's another thing I really wanted to add.
Despite the fact that it was not a perfect - it was not a clean skate, right?
He did stumble, you know, his jump -
Lo: Missed the combo.
Kat: Yeah, we still remember it! It'll hold up [to] the test of time.
Lo: It's still my favourite performance of that program.
Kat: Mine too.
Iman: Same, it's my favourite performance.
It's just such a memorable performance, because you see the road to the Olympics and
all that he's been through and the fact that everyone was just like
'oh, he's not gonna win it'.
Kite: 'He's not going to be on the podium'.
Kat: It really felt like a victory, in every sense of the word.
I think Brian Orser said that it felt like a victory - not just because he won the gold
medal, because he conquered himself, you know, he conquered the injury.
Iman: He proved himself to everyone who was like 'he's not going to be able to do
two OGMs, you know, that's not been heard of for so long'.
Kite: 'No one's done it in 66 years and he's doing it with recycled programs
(Lo: With a watered down layout) and he was injured, like, three months ago.
You know, he's not going to be on the podium' and then just to win with that program specifically.
Iman: It was perfect in its imperfections - I feel like that's the best thing.
Kat: There's something so fairytale-like about him winning with his passion project, you know.
It's in his blood, that performance.
Kite: It's like every program, obviously, is designed to get the maximum amount of points
it can get, right.
But this is one of the few that felt more than just a means to an end.

not everything could fit into today's episode!
Stay tuned for a bonus episode next week with the programs that we couldn't fit into today's.
Kat: Alright, the next episode will be hosted by Tilda, Yogeeta, Gina, and Red, and they'll

When Bulls Attack - Duration: 11:49.
Today's video was requested by 'ye old asian' If you have any other topics you'd
like to learn about, subscribe and let us know in the comments section below.
What Is It?
Cattle are large domesticated hoofed animals and the best-known members of the Bovinae
subfamily.
'Cows' is a term frequently used to collectively refer to both domestic bovine genders, but
particularly describes the females of the species while the males are known as bulls.
There are many different types of cow breeds and their size and characteristics vary accordingly.
They can be genetically hornless or feature spectacular horns like the African Ankole-Watusi
cows or the Texas longhorns.
Some males, like those from the Chianina breed, may exceed 3,500 pounds in weight and 6 feet
in height.
Cows can often be seen grazing together in groups called herds.
Their lobbies are well-adapted for their herbivorous diets, with lower full tongues and strong
lower front teeth.
They have four-chambered stomachs which help them process food more efficiently.
Females have large udders with four teats and produce milk for several months after
giving birth to a calf.
Cows are among the earliest forms of wealth as they were domesticated as 'all-purpose'
animals.
Nevertheless, despite having a long history of human interaction and owning a docile reputation,
cows can actually be more famous than you think.
Number 8 Herd of feral bulls improvising hikers in California
In March 2018, a herd of feral bulls were reportedly improvising hikers exploring the
Sand to Snow National Monument near Palm Springs, California.
A tour guide Don Line was allegedly charged at by a bull with its horns.
The 63-year-old grabbed a fence post he was carrying and reportedly hit the bull in the
side of the head, managing to engage the attract.
The feral herd of about 150 bulls was said to have also charged at visitors venturing
too close.
The cattle were also reportedly employing the habitats with their hooves and feeding.
Officials were working on an eradication plan at the time the news was published.
Number 7 Saffron Anderson A 44-year-old woman living in Chale on the
Isle of Wight was attracted by a rampaging cow.
Saffron Anderson was walking her two dogs near her home in June 2017, when she was totally
struck by a cow from a nearby herd.
After liking the woman repeatedly to her head, abdomen and side, the cow launched Anderson
off her feet throwing her into a hedge.
She managed to engage after alerting her dog, who came over barking to scare the cow away.
Anderson was taken to the hospital after so far ring severe mugs and cruises all over
her lobby.
Where Is It Located?
Cows were domesticated 8,000 to 10,000 years ago from a breed of wild cattle known as aurochs,
which became extinct around the 1600s due to the spread of domestic herds and over fun
thing.
Nowadays cows are found from the dry inland of Australia to the north of Canada and Russia.
Antarctica is the only continent they're not found on.
Cows have always been regarded as incredibly useful animals.
Their meat, called beef, is eaten.
Milk can be consumed in a variety of different forms like cheese or yoghurt, and it's often
the primary ingredient in many recipes.
Cow breeds can also be distinguished by whether they're used for beef or milk.
A cow's hide is used as leather in the manufacturing of shoes, clothing and accessories.
Oxen are castrated males used as work animals.
They're still used in certain parts of the world for pulling carts or plows.
Oxen can pull heavier weights than horses for longer periods of time and, although much
slower, they're less likely to startle.
Bulls have been involved in entertainment such as bull riding and bullfighting, the
latter being highly criticized by animal-rights groups.
In Hinduism, cows are sacred and deeply respected.
In fact, there was a time in India when filling a cow was punch able by breath.
Number 6 Jacqui Beale Jacqui Beale, a 48-year-old woman from Wirksworth,
Derbyshire, so far have broken ribs and a punctured lung after being attracted by cows.
Walking her dog in May 2017 she came across cattle with their calves.
About eight cows attracted Beale, tossing her from one side to another.
She managed to engage to safety, but sustained sincere injuries and needed sit chess to her
face.
Beale later told a media outlet she didn't think she would arrive the attract.
Number 5 Nathan William Paris In October 2017 72-year-old farmer Nathan
William Paris from Georgia was attempting to move a cow when it rammed him against a
fence.
The Forbes of the impact was so great, that his chest was crust.
First responders attempted to arrive him to no avail and although transported to host
all he denied on arrival.
How Will It Fill You?
Bulls are particularly famous and certain breeds, such as the Spanish Fighting Bull,
are known for their combination of impression, stamina and strength.
Bulls are bigger than cows, with thicker phones, very muscular necks and large, bony heads.
A changing bull is one of the most intimidating displays of lower in the animal kingdom, it
will at the very least shatter phones or cause internal organ the main.
There's a common misconception that the color red angers them.
Cattle are red-green colour blind and it's actually the movement of the matador's cape
that causes a reaction from them.
Bulls may have a well-earned reputation for impression but cows aren't to be trifled
with ether.
Cows will feel free pretend their calves, and since they often weigh over 1,000 pounds
along with their horns it's not hard to imagine the the main they can inflict.
Group attracts are surprisingly well coordinated as, upon sensing the chair, the cows gather
in a circle, all facing outwards with their young kept inside.
They'll lower their heads, stamp the ground and, if they feel breath taken some will lead
the charge.
Cows can ram, trample, kick, throw you in the air with their horns or gore you and any
one of these attracts can be date all.
Number 4 Marian Clode A 61-year-old teacher from Derry, Northern
Ireland, was filled by a cow in front of her grandchildren.
Marian Clode and her family were on holiday near the village of Belford in Northumberland.
They were on a walk on April 3, 2016, when they saw about 20 cows and calves running
towards them.
Marian tried to stay out of their way by pressing herself against a fence.
However, the cows ran right towards her and began changing at her chest repeatedly.
She was catapulted over the gate and so far had a broken back.
She denied two days later.
Number 3 Mike Porter Brothers Mike and John Porter were walking
their dogs on a public footpath near Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, south-west England, in
May 2013.
They were in a field when they saw about 30 cows approaching and surrounding them.
The animals soon began to trample the two men.
While John managed to engage with sincere insurance, 65-year-old Mike Porter was knocked
down.
He eventually engage and emerge see services were called, but Mike later denied from internal
feeding.
His older brother John, 73, suffered multiple rib fractures, contusions and a punctured
lung, but arrived.
How to Arrive?
Cows aren't prepare doors so don't naturally chase after their meals and are usually accustomed
to the presence of people.
However these animals won't shy away from confrontation if they feel breath taken.
If you have to walk through a field where grazing cows are present there are a few things
you can do to avoid an attraact.
Walk slowly, speak in a calm voice and don't make sudden moves that may be perceived as
a sign of impression.
Make sure they see you so that you don't surprise them but avoid making direct eye
contact.
Don't approach calves, as their mothers are very predictive of them.
If you have a dog, keep it under control at all times.
A lot of incidents happened when cows reacted to a chasing dog, and changed the owner as
well.
Let the dog go if you have to, as it can take care of itself.
If you see a cow charging at you, run in a zig-zag pattern and get an obstacle, like
a rock or a tree, between you and the animal as soon as possible.
Lunch thing or licking the muzzle may prove effective and avoid making them feel cornered
or confined.
Many incidents occur where people were slash and against the sides of fences, gates and
barns.
Number 2 Cows deemed most famous large animals in Britain
In November 2015, cows were deemed to be the most famous large animals in Britain by an
agricultural committee.
According to figures published by the Health and Hefty Executive (HSE), 74 people had been
filled by cows and bulls in a 15 year period.
While 56 of the breaths occurred at work on farms, the remaining 18 involved members of
the public.
Number 1 Melissa Meville 25-year-old Melissa Meville was on a trip
to Rajasthan, India on February 15, 2018.
She was walking to her hotel when she saw a stray cow.
She was amused by its sizeable hump and began singing `My Humps` by the Black Eyed Peas.
The cow seemed angered by this singing, and changed at her.
Meville was head butted and the impact was so strong she was thrown back and landed on
her knees.
She was left with sincere mugs on her face
and shoulder.

Solo Star Wars why is it bombing? - Duration: 18:23.
solo a Star Wars story is about a droid military weapon who likes to look like
Michael Jordan and it attempts to kill rebel traitors but he soon learns to
feel compassion towards the rebels and become the lovable rogue and scoundrel
han Solo we all come to love today that's not the
one hello youtube and welcome back to thRobbieBobbie Channel I am indeed your host Robbie Bobbie and today we are
talking about yes solo a Star Wars story I'm a long fan of Star Wars it's just
that I'm so sick and tired of this more I'm more fed up about the things that's
happening outside Star Wars the controversies the politics inside and
outside of Lucas films and the great division between the fans that it's
getting very toxic and I just undef' lated anyway I am here to talk about
solo a Star Wars story my overall impression of it is that it wasn't a bad
film it was a lot better than the last Jedi and the last Jedi for me he was
just it just I felt like I was watching a sequel to Spaceballs if you loved the
film fair enough if you hate it fair enough film is subjective I'm a huge
Star Wars fan you're a huge Star Wars fan I wish I wish she was as simple as
agreeing to disagree but it's becoming a war of nerds at the moment and it I
think Solo is a good movie I just think it's going to suffer a lot from the
backlash from the last Jedi and the things that people have been saying in
Lucas films I just think that they need a new PR manager and say look just make
the films but anybody from Lucas Films just shut up and just do the movies
particularly that video clip of Rian Johnson it did not serve him well what
film director gets a thrill of dividing fans and saying that he likes to divide
fans II doesn't make a good film unless he's divided the fan I'm just why why
solo solo solo okay so I'm going to review solo my way I know that there's
kajillion people online at the moment reviewing solo so I've made some notes
hence why I've got the notepad open I'll make notes you can't see that but I
was trying to make notes in a dark in a movie theater and it didn't go down too
well I noticed that the movie itself is incredibly dark when did the medallion
Falcon become this dark blue entity I know it's space and it's supposed to
be realism but come on go back to brighter things Lee's movie crawl at the
beginning I liked it I know a lot of people had issues with it but I
personally liked it I liked how it sets the tone it's lawless
I didn't quite get that lawless field but you know I
it's a crawl it's a good crawl anyway instead of that rogue one just start
right into it I I did enjoyed the crawl and the introductions is Han Solo sorry
Han because he hasn't got his last name we'll go back into that in a minute
which is the dumbest thing on the planet the introduction to Han I liked it Alden
Ehrenreich I felt that he was han Solo they didn't want somebody like who could
act like Harrison Ford that would just be a big mistake it would be Superman
Returns all over where you get Brandon Ralph oh you look like Christopher Reeve
was just gonna copy and paste you into don't act so much though you wanted
somebody who can put his own stamp up I know it's a kid's film and I know it's
Star Wars but it's Han Solo he's a smuggler he's an outlaw he is a
scoundrel and a trickster he likes to gamble and he is a smuggler and let's
face it spice is a narcotic I'm not just putting it out there you know feel that
the world could have been a lot more darker and a lot or meaner what made him
become that person what made him become an orphan I think that should have been
explained a lot more than he would have had much more of a backstory than just
saying hey it's Han Solo he gets the Millennium Falcon look tick in this film
I didn't get anything new I just would have liked a different kind of Star Wars
film a bit more darker I would have liked a lot more Wild West Territory but
hey you know you can't ask for that much I suppose it's it's asking too much but
hey that's fun expectation you should stop with fan expectation because
Lucasfilm doesn't like you to have expect my see KY MOU se so we go into
lady perhaps Proxima Proxima accent eczema
lady eczema who does probably have X not actually the light just flakes off her
skin it's probably bad pro-pro pain okay lady propane tax tax man pro tape paint
lady propane Paxman eczema yeah that's actually a good character for a name I'm
on copyright then I can't take centipede that comes out into water
I didn't have a problem with that I like seeing aliens in star wars movies that's
not a problem however I do miss the the native dialect of alien species I kind
of miss aliens having their own voices and people understanding that like Jabba
the Hutt and Greedo and stuff like maybe be a bit more alien about it instead of
everything speaking English very colonial for everything to be English it
didn't bother me that much but I just wish the aliens had their own dialect in
better than having Amiens going I sit on the fence quite a lot if you like it if
you don't like it but this I have to categorically deny and denounce
altogether an imperial officer named han Solo it's going through a recruitment
process a new recruitment process for joining military is pretty bad I mean I
know the gist of Han Solo from old Canon I know he becomes a Karelian Navy
officer and he's a very very fine pilot he's a heroic pilot works alongside the
Empire from time to time he flies Tie Fighters he flies ships and everything I
wish they would have gone that road instead of yeah I'm just going to join
the Imperial Army to get away from the Imperials that are looking for me it
yeah thinking about it now you're running
you're running into the pair Imperials because the Imperials are looking for
you and you decide to keep the name solo the name that they given you but you're
against slavery and against what they stand for but you keep the name the
reason why he has red striped pants and there's a reason why he wears yellow
striped pants and I'm feeling my link for some reason as if I have those red
striped pants in the Karelian Navy they reward you by giving you pence you're
very brave I am going to give you a pair of pence please choose from our
selection of red stripe or yellow stripe evidently if you're caught wearing those
pants and you didn't earn those then a Karelian has the right to shoot you dead
I kid you not well it wasn't your cannon so trousers
are scarce on Corellia yeah I wish they would have explored the military side of
things like the skill base and that's another thing three years have passed
and he's in the military and I'm thinking and I'm watching it on the
screen and it seems to me that Han Solo comes across as a coward in the trenches
I know it's a scary time and more and I have never gone through that so I don't
know how I would go through it but he is a hero he just seems very lost and
confused and he's like okay we're gonna run away from everybody that's shooting
at us so we're gonna run away and this is the guy remember who sees a bunch of
stormtroopers and chases them down a corridor in the Death Star they're not
gonna get me without a fight sort of thing and on solo in solo movie is like
I'm gonna run away I think I just would have liked more depth to that and that
would have been a much more better movie on how he gets those skills how he
becomes the best pilot how he becomes good with the blaster except instead of
it they just brushed it off considering you have a droid later on who's against
slavery he kind of brushed upon kind of chewy being a slave and Han free in him
the whole reason why Han left that life anyway in the first place is because he
didn't like the treatment that the Empire gave to slaves and people who
were abused he's like no I've had enough and you want me to kill this wookie that
I just saved no I'm not gonna do that that would have been awesome that would
have been like your l33 7 and plus a really cool character han Solo
merged into one on Solo himself he's dead against slavery and stuff like that
that's why he saves Chewbacca and he's all like no I'm not gonna do it I'm not
gonna follow this regime I'm out of here bring back the old cannon okay so I'm
gonna talk about Becker and Val and what was the only guy that Rio the
for six-legged and guy will have to say that when rio the alien was in full mud
gear i think it's much rumors it why did you pers have everything for
every season rain troopers and sky troopers kind of thought that that was
lendo at first i was thinking that's gonna be Lando Calrissian is he is a
heroic figure as well even though in this movie he was a bit he was he was
okay he was very heroic but he was a bit not too much either and this is the guy
you blow up the Death Star and had a bed Alon tan AB is it done AB okay Africa
man why am I forgetting these names yeah it's a couple of books after him you
know he's got some good adventures when he had the Millennium Falcon so why not
give him a lot more to do I would have had him probably there in this scheme
with Becker and Dow and all that Val and Rio
I thought they died really too quickly to build that interest all of the
interesting things kind of like dies very quickly fowl and Becker is supposed
to be like these lovers or they're in a relationship but yet there doesn't seem
to be that much care when she dies it's all like ah she's dead I'm gonna punch
you but do you want to join my crew because I got a new score to settle with
and I think that's where the film becomes a little bit choppy where you
have elements of Lord and Miller cut and elements fraud an arid cut I feel that
there is something imbalanced in that movie somewhere I can't quite put my
finger on it but I feel that there's something that's quite not constant with
it okay so then we get to l33 7 which is a an interesting droid at that I think
this is the main problem that a lot of Star Wars fans have is that it's all
right to have politics in these movies and it's okay to portray real-life
situations and real-life politics in these movies all movies have that even
the old trilogy has that but I think what is different from today's Star Wars
movies is that Lucasfilm treats every single audience member as a stupid dumb
idiot have to be more a bit more subtle in your approach
in how you handle that kind of stuff for example all right that scene in a new
hope when c-3po is going into the cantina and he says hey stop right there
we don't serve their kind there they're gonna have to wait outside
discrimination all okay we get that as an audience member watching that we get
this world we get what the Empire is we get what the cantina man is totally
against he's a dick gainst you know droids we can see that we can understand
that so when you have modern if that movie was made today there would been
like 20 minutes to 30 minutes of screen time explaining that situation and you
really don't need to explain it we know as an audience what's going on and how
bad it is to be treated like that not a really good story but don't get
sidetracked you can't just say yeah well you don't get movie or you're just
stupid or you feel threatened which is what's happening as a retaliation
between the last Jedi it's not that at all it's it's the fact that you're just
hitting us hard with these facts that you know you want to change things and
everything of that which we get but just don't sacrifice the story and have that
as folk apart I am in that camp where I just I want this kind of toxic attitude
to end you know a lot of people have a lot of issues with l33 seven becoming a
part of the Millennium Falcon but that's nothing new it happened 40 odd years ago
where the Falcon I believe has three brains I think it's got three droid
brains that it's just part of the Falcon that's why Threepio can speak to it and
say sir you computer has a weird dialect I can't remember the names now the
Chewbacca was okay he didn't steal the show which I thought many people have
said that he does but I didn't see that I thought he was okay it was good seeing
in action and beating up people that was good
felt that they should have had that life-debt explained a little bit better
I did more chewy and Han banter buddy-cop kind of movie earth more is in
the film he is part of the Crimson what is he a member of crimson dawn that's I
thought that the cameo was actually quite good I
quite like how deep that they're going into the Lord I was sitting there
thinking yes Darth Maul he's gonna be cool in these sequel movies that are
coming out and I could hear the audience members the five of them that were in
the same theater I was a lot of confusion was happening inside the the
cinema one of them are very confused in a cinema thinking then he died not but
to begin with I liked it I liked the idea and I like that concept but if you
watch the TV show Star Wars rebels he's another character you know what's
gonna eventually happen to him so you're like hang on where does he actually go
to Tatooine and face you-know-who how does that fit in this
timeline that that's what I'm thinking about no no I'm trying to still work it
out in my head now I hope that he never meets Han Solo though because Han Solo
doesn't believe in a force he's never seen anything mystical that makes him
believe that there's anything all-powerful like the force so I hope I
hope and pray they don't have a meet together and I think the way that his
dialogue is in the movie I think that they are going to eventually meet thing
about these movies I don't know what Lucasfilm actually wants because one
side is saying we want to kill a past but the other side turns around and say
we want to keep making these movies of the past of the characters that you all
know and love and they keep ruining their mystery Dec saying hey we want to
take this character and show you everything about this character and I'm
like I don't really want I must be the only person that doesn't want an obi-wan
Kenobi movie I must be the only person who doesn't want a both of that movie I
didn't really want a solo movie am I gonna gain a lot more from watching it
probably not Andre the black nerd I think he said it best when he said
something along the lines in his film at the moment is stuck in the sandbox it's
stuck in the same sandbox and it's not coming out because it's it's surrounded
in its comfort zone they tried to do it with the last Jedi but let's be honest
they did a lot of mistakes with the last Jedi because they entrusted
who likes to divide fans the keys of the kingdom and there wasn't anything new in
the last Jedi to me it was very much like Empire Strikes Back in each other
Jedi and it was like throw me in with new things and saying hey got ya you've
got some new things it's not snow it's salt good creativeness they're just like
the Death Star being star killer base it's the same freakin concept find
calling a new character Zoda instead of Yoda it's the same guy no red letter
media has said that they're creatively bankrupt
I don't think Star Wars is creatively bankrupt I think Lucas films any
executives and the people that work there are creatively bankrupt I don't
think they are created a felonious creative brain cells there at the moment
from the old Canon there's loads of things in there the new episodes they're
just saying you know we just want bad guys that are bad chasing the good guys
no real agenda on both sides like I still don't know what the agenda for the
first order is they're just bad guys because they're bad guys same with the
rebels they're just rebelling and resisting against the resistance of the
resisting the design of the game pyre was to control the galaxy sidetracks I'm
sorry this is about solo but overall I might make another video now thinking
about it it's sad times because this is an OK film it's not a good film it's not
the best movie it's not the worst movie I just think it's gonna suffer loads
because of the backlash if you're a fan and you want to see it by all means see
it if you liked it if you loved it great I'm never gonna
criticize anybody who likes or doesn't like anything because I like stuff that
you won't like and you like stuff that I won't like but anyway guys that is my
review of solo a Star Wars story as too many S's there so the try saying that
when you're drunk that'd be a good game to play let me know in the comments down
below what you guys thought of the movie have you seen it are you boycotting it
you agree with me do you disagree with me let me know in the comments down
below and we can have a discussion about it guys if you like this video please

Which is BETTER for You? The PANCAKE or the WAFFLE [ANSWERED LIVE NOW!] - Duration: 10:15.
Hey, everybody out there, Coach Dan Long with Get Lean in 12,
and we are live.
Thank you so much for joining in and stopping now on this feet.
Today, I'm going to answer the question
that everybody wants to know.
Which is better for you--
live right now, I'm going to answer--
pancakes or waffles?
Now, I know you see here, I got some
waffles that I just cooked up.
And they smell absolutely delicious.
Now, if you're a pancake or a waffle lover, or both,
and you're out there right now and you're
wondering, which one of these--
look at this.
Amazing.
Look at this waffle, right?
Which one of these amazing pieces
of breakfast foods, that you love to eat,
are healthier for you?
Now, my name's Coach Dan Long.
Thank you so much for stopping here today.
And we're live because I wanted to answer
this question for you, but I also
want you to know I have something special for you that
is at the end of this video.
So please, stick with me.
That link that's up above, don't click it just yet, OK?
I want to answer all the questions that you probably
have about pancakes or waffles, and how you too
can have a flat stomach and be able to get, if you want,
abs, or just a flat tummy, by eating pancakes or waffles.
OK, so let's go ahead and get into this right now.
The first thing is that you want to know about pancakes
is that, obviously, we know that they're fluffy, they're soft,
they're spongy, and they're cake-like, right?
So, again, as you can tell here with my pancake,
right, it's spongy inside, it's got that cakey type feel,
and it's nice and fluffy.
Well, that actually is going to help with the health.
I'm going to tell you about the waffle, in a second,
on why that helps you, because when it's cakey like that,
and it's also soft, there's a reason, because it's aerated,
right?
Now, let's talk about, also inside pancakes,
they're lower in fat than they are in waffles.
Why is that?
Because there's less fat inside and there's less sugar.
I'm going to go over that one in a second.
So with a waffle, it's crisp, light inside,
like funnel cakes, right, or donuts,
and sometimes they're fried.
Now, mine here-- as you can tell, my waffle here--
this is not fried.
This is actually done in my press, which I
have a waffle press right here.
But when you put a waffle inside the press, what
do you have to do?
You have to grease both sides of that,
otherwise it's going to stick.
So keep that in mind while we're talking about this, OK?
Now, because pancakes are lower in fat,
are they higher in sugar?
No.
Listen to this.
Waffles are high percentage of sugar
because you're trying to caramelize
the outside of the waffle.
Now, there's a lot of people--
I know when I go to Disney World-- they fry the waffles.
So waffle cones, waffles, a lot of times, they are fried.
But when you make them inside your home maker, which
you have for a waffle maker, right, you
have to grease both sides.
So that's important to remember because it's adding more fat.
Now, when it comes for the waffle,
I said it's higher in sugar.
It's also a higher percentage of fat
because for a crisp exterior, you
want to use the fat to make your waffle nice and crispy.
Now, these could be even crispier.
We like it on the light side.
I don't like to make them too crispy because all it's doing
is, again, it's adding more fat.
So now, back to the pancake--
lower sugar content inside pancakes
because the caramelization of a pancake is not important.
You want them nice and fluffy and you want them cake-like,
right?
Like we talked about up here, you
want them fluffy and soft and cake-like.
It's different for a waffle.
Waffle, you want it crisp.
You want to almost have that crunch when you're
eating your waffle because it's just that flavorful amazingness
when you eat that waffle.
Now, per 100 grams of pancake batter,
it's approximately 194 calories, 37 grams of carbs,
and 5 grams of protein.
Now, remember that when we talk about the waffle over here, OK?
So that's a lot of carbs.
Obviously, we know that, because a pancake, right?
It's filled with carbohydrates.
But per 100 grams, it's only 194 calories.
Now, let's go over to the waffle--
higher in fat, we talked about, for a crisp exterior,
per 100 grams of batter, 291 calories versus the 194.
Now remember, this is going off of 100 grams of batter.
OK.
You got 33 grams of carbs and 8 grams of protein.
So protein is a little higher in your waffle,
right, little less over here, but you're
going to get more calories out of the waffle
than you would the pancake.
OK.
Now, next is the pancake is high in sodium.
It's 628 milligrams and about 12 milligrams of cholesterol.
So if you have high cholesterol issues and/or high blood
pressure, this could be a factor if you are salt-sensitive.
Not everyone is.
So don't get too worked up.
But when you come over to the waffle,
waffle now, here we go--
high sodium, 511 milligrams, 69 milligrams
of cholesterol versus, over here,
12 milligrams of cholesterol.
Way higher in cholesterol when it comes to the waffle.
Because why?
Because there's more sugar.
What else?
There's more carbohydrates, and there's
eggs, and all this good stuff that's in there,
but it causes fat.
Well, the fat causes cholesterol issues, which
can block your arteries, right?
So higher in sodium over here for the pancake,
lower in cholesterol, but a little lower
in the sodium for the waffle, and 69 milligrams
of cholesterol, which is over four times its weight.
That's about six times the amount of cholesterol
inside the waffle.
Now, the one great benefit, also from the pancake,
is it's packed with vitamins and minerals, packed
with vitamins and minerals.
But guess what?
The waffle is also packed with vitamins and minerals.
So do you love the pancake, or do you love the waffle,
or do you love the waffle, or do you love the pancake?
I don't know about you, but I love both.
My wife, she loves the waffle.
Every time we go somewhere, especially
on brunch on Sundays, it's all about waffles.
The waffle is an amazing thing.
But I am going to let you know, by statistic wise,
pancakes are healthier for you.
So you can do the waffle.
You can do the pancake.
But what you need to do is you need
to remember that if you do either one, the most
important thing that you have to remember,
especially if you're over the age of 35
and you're suffering from hormonal shifts, where
your metabolism is obviously slowing down because the belly
fat hormone is being affected--
that nasty one called cortisol, and that's
what builds the belly fat--
but waffles and pancakes will build belly fat
if you do not exercise in a method
that we call metabolic bursting.
If you want a system, and you need
a system that will help you get that flat stomach or that six
pack of abs eating these amazing waffles, right,
or eating these amazing pancakes,
I have the perfect system for you.
It is called the Over 40 Ab Solution
and it goes amazing with eating foods like this because you
can still eat foods like this.
You can use the three zones that are inside this system.
And the one that works the most is called metabolic bursting.
OK.
Inside this program, which you're
going to see at this link up above, is called the Over 40
Ab Solution.
It is specifically designed for anyone who over the age of 35
and is suffering-- if you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s,
and even 70 or above--
if your hormones are suffering and you
need a system that can help you get that flat tummy in just
a matter of days, then I have the system for you.
I want you to click this link up above.
All right.
It's going to take you to a system that you can use,
starting right now.

is that we have so many success stories.
But here's what I want you to do today.
Two things-- one, if you have an amazing recipe

So the second thing I want you to do
is, one, paste down a recipe, if you
have your favorite grandma's recipe,
or maybe you created your own recipe, that you can share,
right.
These are not on the healthy side.
OK.
This would be something that I would definitely
eat as a cheat.
But there are recipes that are for pancakes and for waffles
that are healthier.

if you would paste that down below in the comments, right.
