Everyone is back in Super Smash Bros.
Ultimate!
But not all of the stages, with 15 still missing from the 103 we know about so far--which to
be fair, is an incredible amount.
But that doesn't mean there still aren't a few more from past games that we'd like
to see, and with 6 slots left on the stage selection screen, we decided to put our heads
together and create a list of the Top 5 Stages that should return in Smash Ultimate.
Let's see if you agree with our picks!
Orbital Gate Assault is a roller coaster of a stage with constantly changing setpieces.
It lulls you into the idea that this will be a typical Star Fox stage with you fighting
atop the Great Fox, but then throws everything into chaos.
Players have to jump between Arwings and Aperoid missiles going in all directions at different
times with explosions and missed recoverys often spelling doom.
It might not be the most consistent stage, but it captures the craziness that is a Star
Fox space battle.
Not only that, the visual upgrade the Switch provides could make this look stunning.
Mute City is simply a classic Melee stage.
While Big Blue conveyed the sense of being in the middle of an F-Zero race, Mute City
showed off the racetrack itself.
It's one of the first traveling stages in the series with each section of the track
offering a different layout to fight on.
The added hazard of the racers kept each player on their toes and could always lead to some
amazing saves or misses.
While Port Town Aerodive has the same idea, Mute City is the more recognizable track.
And besides, we did point out how it's mighty odd that the 3DS Mute City stage is labeled
Mute City SNES.
Why label it that unless another Mute City stage is possibly in the game as well?
Pac-Man deserves better than just Pac-Land as his only stage!
And that's why Pac-Maze from Super Smash Bros. for 3DS really should be in Ultimate.
It has a unique look and flavor to it with the collection of Pac-Dots and Fruit adding
to a player's score, eventually granting a Power Pellet that increases their strength.
Now there was an element to it that made each players' screen unique.
When grabbing that Power Pellet, the ghosts would turn blue, but only for that player.
While some believe this would disqualify the stage from returning, there are ways around
it.
Perhaps the ghosts will have that player's color as an outline, or it will be relegated
to a special option.
After all, the Switch is a portable device where everybody could have their own screen.
But at the end of day, this stage is much more faithful to Pac-Man's origin and deserves
to be in Ultimate.
All but two of the Smash 64 stages have returned and, really, it may stay that way as they're
both incredibly similar to stages from Melee that have already been confirmed for Ultimate.
Despite that, we still want to see Sector Z come back.
For one, it's a much larger stage than Corneria with plenty of room to battle it out.
Players can pair off with and still not get in each other's way.
But again, the problem is repetition.
Even the hazards in Sector Z are the same as Corneria and this would make for the 3rd
Great Fox based stage, or 4th if Orbital Gate Assault does return to.
But there's a sense of nostalgia there that we just couldn't deny.
Let's be real: Mario Kart's representation in Super Smash Bros. has always been a bit
spotty.
The Mario Circuit stage from Brawl, now renamed Figure-8 Circuit, wasn't the most imaginative,
and while Mario Circuit from Mario Kart 8 was a definite step up thanks to the anti-gravity
gimmick, visually it was the same basic course we've seen time and again.
But Mario Kart did have a standout stage in the form of Rainbow Road from Super Smash
Bros. for 3DS.
Rainbow Road is one of the most iconic courses in any Mario Kart so it feels only natural
to have it represented in Smash.
It's a travelling stage in the same vein as Mute City with it stopping at many of the
landmarks from Mario Kart 7's version of Rainbow Road.
And we just want to see it upgraded in the same way as the other 3DS stages as it has
the potential to look absolutely gorgeous.
Whether we get more returning stages or entirely new ones, there's no doubt that we're
spoiled for options in Super Smash Bros.
Ultimate.
Seeing many of the other returning stages just makes us want to see what they could
do with the remaining ones.
But what about you?
What stages of the remaining 15 do you want to see return most?

and other things gaming.

Corporate Judge Hands Chevron Major Victory In Terrorism Lawsuit - Duration: 4:22.
Moving on, the Chevron corporation was recently handed a major victory in court when a judge
ruled that they weren't liable for helping to fund terrorist attacks in the Middle East.
This judge ... I looked at this.
It's phenomenal.
You can almost tell what a judge is going to do based on what their background is.
We looked at this judge.
There's no surprises here.
This is a judge that, oh, by the way, represented Saudi Arabia, represented Dubai.
And all of a sudden, that judge understands, he's not really being a judge here, he's being
a politician.
Another thing that didn't surprise me, he was appointed by Obama.
Obama had this tendency to appoint these corporate types that loved Wall Street, loved big corporations,
and hated consumers where it came to cases like this.
What's your take?
This is an absolutely disgusting story.
And you're right about the judge.
He came from a law firm.
They brag about specializing in Saudi law, Abu Dhabi financial ... All kinds of stuff
over there in the Middle East.
That's where this guy cut his teeth.
It's where he was working when Obama appointed him.
Right.
Now, in this specific case, with Chevron, we know, this is not questionable, they put
$20 million into a slush fund in the Middle East for Saddam Hussein in exchange for buying
78 million barrels of underpriced oil between 2000 and 2002.
Okay.
The slush fund, that money was used to fund terrorist attacks and suicide bombers throughout
the Middle East.
Even the judge says, "Okay, well, yeah, we know the slush fund was used for that, but-"
You can't prove it.
"Can you prove that the dollar that they spent on this bomb came from the dollars Chevron
put in?"
Okay.
Now, let me talk to you just a second.
This judge is either a total bonehead ... I don't think he's a bonehead.
I mean, he may be just an absolute bonehead, or this is a political move, that it's a holdover.
Now, if you remember, Obama hated JASTA.
JASTA was where American citizens were given the right to sue the Saudis, okay?
Obama comes out and he says, "That's a bad idea.
Now everybody's going to sue us," which was a total lie.
We're not being sued because of JASTA.
But this guy, this Judge Donato, yeah, his name is Donato.
You need to look him up, so you can see that this, it speaks for itself.
This guy's history speaks for itself.
Donato comes in and he basically puts in place the Obama policy, which is, we can't sue where
there's foreign nationals involved.
There's no question that this was a jury question.
This wasn't a judge question.
This should have been put in front of a jury.
The jury should be asked the question, "Did the claimants show enough information to show
that Chevron money that was used illegal for criminal activity ended up in the hands of
the terrorists, and that that ended up in terrorist activity?"
This is a judge deciding what a jury should decide.
My hope is ... He's in the Ninth Circuit, out in California.
They're going to look at it and they're going to say, "Yes, you really are either a bonehead,
or you are so political that we're nauseated by the politics."
What's your take?
Well, look, 328 people were involved in this lawsuit.
This was a massive suit against Chevron.
We know they paid the money to Saddam Hussein.
We know they got oil in exchange.
And we know the money went to fund terrorist activities.
So, yeah, the judge should not have said anything in this, and said, "All right, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury, you've heard everything.
You go make the decision, because that's how it works here in this country.
But instead, I'm going to carry the water, one, for the banking industry, because they're
involved in this too-
He also worked for the banking industry as a lawyer, yeah.
He did.
They're the ones who helped launder the money in the slush fund, so you can't tell if it
was Chevron's money.
Maybe it was a different bank's money, but it's all corporate money, and it's all funding
terrorism.
It's a double whammy.
This Donato, this Judge Donato, worked both for the banking industry, as you point out,
that also laundered money for the terrorists, and he's saying, "Oh, gee whiz, you can't
do this, because if you do, it could have ramifications on how the Saudis are taught,
or treated, as a foreign national."
His decision here is deplorable.

How Are We Searching For Dark Matter? And How Do We Even Know It's Real? - Duration: 16:02.
Whenever I mention dark matter in anyway in the Guide to Space, or in a questions show,
I get a bunch of responses that have essentially the same point.
Astronomers are just speculating, why do they even think dark matter is a thing?
They're sure going to be embarrassed in the future when they realize they were wasting
all this time.
Oh, astronomers.
Foolish, gullible astronomers.
The reality, of course, is that many astronomers have dedicated their lives to the mystery
of dark matter.
More than a decade of school, working with incredibly complicated math, and then many
more years of observations, using some of the most powerful and sensitive instruments
ever designed by human beings.
And obviously I know that people can spend their lives dedicated to nonsense.
So in this video I want to do two things.
First, I'm going to spend some time explaining how astronomers realized that dark matter
is something real.
In fact, the evidence is overwhelming, and I'm going to get into it.
And then I'm going to talk about the fascinating work going on around the world to search for
dark matter.
What are the individual experiments, observatories and projects which are trying to chip away
at this mystery.
Before I go further into this dark matter.
I want to give you an analogy that comes from my Astronomy Cast co-host, Dr. Pamela Gay.
Because I don't think that most people really understand the state of the search for dark
matter.
Let's imagine you're driving your car and it starts to make a knocking sound.
You take it into the mechanic and they can't figure out what's causing it.
They ask you to drive some more in different conditions and maybe you can help located
the problem.
You realize that it only makes the sound when you're going up a hill and turning left.
You bring back this new information to the mechanic and this gives them a better place
to search for the source of the problem.
If some friend ridiculed you because of your "dark knocking sound", all they'd have
to do is spend a little time in your car and they'd hear the sound too.
The problem is definitely there, it's just that you and the mechanic haven't figured
out what's causing it yet.
But you will, oh… you will.
You have a mystery, and you haven't solved it yet.
That's dark matter.
And dark energy is an stranger mystery, but that's a topic for another video.
I think the name "dark matter" is probably the source of the confusion.
It should have been called something like invisible matter, or mystery matter, or crazy
gravity, or… something.
Okay, back to dark matter, and let's start with a brief history.
I'd like to thank Dr. Brian Koberlein for his comprehensive history of dark matter on
his blog.
I'll put a link in the shownotes so you can learn more about it.
The effect of dark matter was first discovered by the astronomers Fritz Zwicky, who was studying
the motion of galaxies in the Coma Cluster.
Located about 321 million light-years from Earth, this cluster contains more than 1,000
separate galaxies.
During his study of the cluster in 1933, Zwicky calculated that the motion of all the galaxies
was too fast for the gravitational interactions of the galaxies themselves.
There had to be some kind of missing mass that was contributing to their movement.
Of course, it's possible that the individual galaxies happened to be flying past each other,
but the same result was found in all the galaxy clusters that astronomers could locate.
The next key piece of evidence came with the way that galaxies themselves rotate.
Think about the way that planets orbit the Sun.
Each planet goes at a different speed depending on its distance from the Sun.
Mercury completes an orbit every 88 days, while Earth takes 365 days and Pluto takes
248 years.
You would expect the stars within a galaxy to do the same thing.
Stars close to the center of the galaxy whip around quickly, while the ones in the outskirts
take their time.
Through her pioneering work of measuring the rotation rates of individual stars in distant
galaxies, Vera Rubin figured out that spiral galaxies rotated like disks.
All the stars moved the same speed around the galactic center.
One idea, of course, was that there was some kind of hidden matter, like the dark nebula
we can see here in the Milky Way.
These block the light from a more distant object, hiding it from our point of view.
But astronomers developed techniques to measure the radio signals coming from these dark clouds
of matter, and the amounts in galaxies didn't account for the amount of mass it would take
to make galaxies and galaxy clusters behave the way they do.
Astronomers were left with two possibilities.
Either their understanding of gravity at the largest scales was wrong.
This idea was known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics, or MOND.
As long as you were willing to put in new equations for gravity, you could predict the
kind of motions observed in nature.
The other idea was that there was some kind of invisible particle.
A particle that accounts for the vast majority of the mass in the Universe, but it doesn't
interact with regular matter in any way we can detect, apart from gravity.
These were known as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles.
In order to better map out the dark matter in the Universe, astronomers used a technique
called gravitational lensing.
This is where the gravity from a foreground object, like a galaxy cluster, distorts the
light from a more distant object, like another galaxy cluster.
Astronomers have done incredibly comprehensive surveys of the sky, and mapped out where the
blobs of dark matter are, and how they surround galaxy clusters.
One famous example of this is the Bullet Cluster, where astronomers could observe clusters of
galaxies colliding with each other.
They could see the stars in the galaxies, they could measure the locations of giant
clouds of hot gas colliding because of the X-rays they emit, and they could measure the
dark matter through its gravitational lensing.
And what they found was amazing.
The stars are so far apart, they just pass by one another without colliding.
The gas does collide, and bunched up into regions that glowed bright in X-rays.
But surprisingly, the dark matter didn't collide with anything, not with the gas, stars
or even itself.
If dark matter is a particle, it must be tiny - astronomers say it has a small cross section.
And yet, it has to be massive, since it dominates the area with its gravity.
Better observations across the large scale structure of the Universe show how dark matter
must have been necessary to get these galaxy clusters collapsing in the ways they do, and
the gravitational lensing observations are now so precise, they can see the exact distributions
that match these predictions.
Another survey of dark matter was to search for it in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Radiation, of course.
This is the afterglow from the Big Bang.
A time when the Universe was about 380,000 years old, and light was finally able to escape
into space.
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite performed an all sky survey of this cosmic
microwave background, mapping out the distribution of dark matter compared to regular matter
in the sky.
When you look at the CMB, the temperature fluctuations tell you how much regular matter
and energy there is compared to dark matter.
When that early Universe was so hot and dense, the radiation pushed against regular matter,
while it didn't push against the dark matter.
Astronomers have built models with different ratios of dark matter to regular matter, to
match up the one they see in the CMB.
Based on this survey, astronomers were able to calculate that the Universe is made of
4.9% regular matter and 26.8% dark matter.
Oh, and another 68.3% dark energy, but again, that'll have to be another episode.
Astronomers are certain that dark matter is there, but they still don't know what it
is.
As my friend Dr. Ethan Siegel says, "When someone puts forth the hypothesis that dark
matter doesn't exist, the onus is on them to answer the implicit question, okay then,
what replaces General Relativity as your theory of gravity to explain the entire Universe?"
What's your general theory of sound that replaces my idea that my car is making a strange
knocking noise?
Now, I hope, I've convinced you that astronomers aren't arrogant, they've got a genuine
mystery they're trying to chase down through observation and experiment.
And I'll get to them in a second, but first I'd like to thank:
Hadi Zolfaghaari Dany Noacco
Gaute Moon Incrediwebbs
Joseph Matheny Bruce Jividen
And the rest of our 837 patrons for their generous support.
If you love what we're doing and want to get in on the action, head over to patreon.com/universetoday.
In the last few decades, astronomers have continued to search for dark matter.
Narrowing down what it might be: invisible particles or gravity behaving strangely at
large distances.
When it comes to particles, there are three possibilities: hot, warm and cold.
In this case, hot dark matter would be a particle that's moving close to the speed of light,
while cold would indicate that it's moving very slowly.
An example of hot particles are neutrinos.
These are the nearly massless particles streaming from the Sun and other stars.
At any point you've got about 100 trillion of these tiny particles passing through your
body, moving at nearly the speed of light.
They rarely interact with anything out there in the Universe.
In fact, a neutrino will, on average, be able to fly through a light-year's worth of lead
without getting stopped.
Physicists detect neutrinos in enormous underground reservoirs of water surrounded by incredibly
sensitive detectors.
When the occasional neutrino does interact with a molecule of water, it releases a cascade
of particles which can be detected.
That sounds like a good candidate for hot dark matter, right?
Well, the problem is that neutrinos are moving close to the speed of light.
This means that won't ever clump up in the way that astronomers observe dark matter doing,
through gravitational lensing and the cosmic microwave background radiation.
Since dark matter doesn't seem to clump at all, hot, fast moving particles are ruled
out.
Sorry neutrinos.
Instead, slower moving, cold dark matter particles seem like the most likely culprit.
There are literally dozens of experiments searching for cold dark matter particles right
now.
They're all based on the idea that even if dark matter barely interacts with matter,
it can happen from time to time and you can observe it.
Experiments are running to detect every possible particle theorized.
Let me give you just one example: the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search, or SuperCDMS.
The experiment is located 700 meters underground in an old mine in Minnesota.
Assuming that dark matter is this cold, slow moving particle that comprises the vast majority
of matter in the Universe, and assuming that it doesn't really interact with regular
matter, you'd expect many of these particles to be passing through any spot on the Earth
at all times.
Every now and then, one of these dark matter particles would interact with regular matter
and release a cascade of particles that could be detected.
This old mine is deep underground, shielded away from cosmic rays and human pollution,
so only particles that can pass through hundreds of meters of rock will be detected.
It gives scientists a clean signal.
The detector is equipped with silicon and germanium crystals cooled down just above
absolute zero.
This is going to sound totally new age, so bear with me.
If dark matter particles pass through the detectors, they'll set off vibrations in
the crystals that will be detectable.
An even more sensitive version is under construction at a deeper facility in Sudbury, Canada.
Once it's fully operational in the 2020s, SuperCDMS SNOLAB will be able to detect cold
dark matter particles with a mass between 1 and 10 protons.
Another way scientists are searching for dark matter is using particle accelerators, like
the Large Hadron Collider.
Instead of waiting for dark matter particles to drift into their detectors, they've tried
to create them.
Particle accelerators work by pushing particles to immense speeds, creating an enormous amount
of kinetic energy.
When the particles are slammed into each other, that kinetic energy freezes out into matter,
which can then be studied.
Different models for dark matter have been proposed, and the right combination of energy
and particle collisions could generate a particle that matches the properties of dark matter.
Another experiment at CERN is called OSQAR, or the Optical Search for QED Vacuum Bifringence,
Axions and Photon Regeneration.
It's searching for particles known as axions, which could be a candidate for dark matter.
It involves firing a laser down a vacuum chamber which is exposed to an incredibly powerful
magnetic field.
As the photons travel down this chamber, some of them could turn into axions.
At the end of the chamber there's a barrier.
The visible light is blocked by the barrier, but the axions should be able to pass through
this wall and then turn into photons on the other side again.
At this point, there's no concrete evidence for axions, but there are several experiments
searching for them.
A much longer vacuum chamber is in the works, and there's a counterpart to OSQAR called
the CERN Axion Solar Telescope, which is looking for axions coming from the Sun.
There's a detector on board the International Space Station called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
which could be the one to discover dark matter.
In its first 5 years of operation, the instrument detected over 90 billion cosmic ray events:
protons and other particles moving at close to the speed of light.
These particles contain vastly higher energy than anything that could be produced in the
Large Hadron Collider, so they're like a natural particle accelerator.
One indication for dark matter could be the hundreds of thousands of particles of antimatter
which have already been detected by the AMS.
The source of this antimatter is still a mystery, but one idea is that it's a side effect
from particles of dark matter occasionally colliding with itself.
Perhaps the most epic particle detector is the IceCube neutrino lab, located in Antarctica.
This giant telescope is a series of detectors embedded into a glacier - it's one cubic
kilometer of ice.
When neutrinos and other particles pass through a vast volume of water, they can occasionally
interact and release a cascade of particles.
IceCube has been one of the most important instruments for physicists, setting limits
on the mass of particles that dark matter could be.
At this point, scientists still don't know what dark matter is.
But with dozens of experiments, they're continuing to search, and better narrowing
down what it can't be.
At some point in the future, we can look back at this search with a definitive answer.
I really enjoy a mystery, and being a journalist gives me a chance to watch the search for
dark matter unfold, day after day, as ideas are tested, falsified, rejected, and replaced.
This is science.
This is how it works, and the journey is as important as the destination.

-------------------------------------------
24 Reasons Luke Cage & Black Lightning Are Different - Duration: 9:01.
Both of these series are based on a comic book superhero created in the 1970s.
The main character is a black hero protects his neighborhood from evil.
He's no normal man though.
He's able to strike fear into evil villain's hearts because of his super powers.
Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning got his powers when he was a little boy.
Carl Lucas aka Luke Cage got his powers during his adult years.
Luke Cage is bulletproof and virtually indestructible.
Black Lightning ain't about that life.
However, he may not be bulletproof, but the people he uses as a shield basically make
him as untouchable as Luke Cage.
His suit could sometimes ricochet bullets and is allows him to focus his energy to fly
too.
Since Luke Cage's skin is impenetrable, he is cocky and that's probably why he doesn't
train which explains why his fight game is so trash.
Black Lightning's fighting sequences are more intense and it's because he trains
hard so he doesn't have to use his powers 100% of the time.
The women in both series are fine.
It's mind boggling how any man would find time to fight evil, when it's so easy to
get distracted by the females in the cast.
When the lady in the blue dress throws herself at Pierce, he's all like no thank you, because
he has to focus on being the hero his city deserves.
When the lady in the blue dress throws herself at Cage, he wastes no time and takes her back
to his place.
The good thing is that not only do the female leads have beauty, but they have muscle too.
The pretty lady the hero slept with is liable to put a hole in your chest if you come at
her incorrectly and the dime piece in the show could probably kill man with her barehands.
With an a majority black cast, the series isn't only focused on showing diversity
through race, but provides representation for the LBGTQ community also.
Even with the colorful, diverse cast, discrimination is a common thread for each episode in Season
1.
Tension is at an all time high because the cops are treating the young men in the city
like a piñata.
Warner Bros. makes a statement about the shootings of unarmed black men by white police officers
in this show.
ABC is owned by Disney and they typically tip toe around the subject which is why all
the police brutality scenes against young men are done by black cops instead of white
officers.
This may be a coincidence, but I doubt it because of the protest scenes.
The protesters in Black Lightning are model citizens while the protestors in Luke Cage
are gangsters which implies only hoodlums exercise their right to protest peacefully.
With corrupt law enforcement patrolling the city, the villains take over and have ties
with every local organization.
For example the bad guy works closely with the local undertaker to dispose of dead bodies
and erase all traces of the murders they perform.
The bad guys in the show are relatives and keep it in the family like the mafia.
One of the relatives is deep in the streets while the other has a political background.
The evil man is haunted by his childhood.
His flashbacks show that he never got over this traumatic experience.
The difference is, Cottonmouth will never get over his trauma since he killed his father
figure as a little boy.
As a little boy, Tobias never stood up to his father figure, but he gets over his trauma
in Black Lightning by killing him as an adult.
The protagonist of the series is having flashback horrors too.
His flashbacks are about his daddy issues.
The dream sequence shows the main character as a kid, but it gets weird when his present
day self shows up.
Black Lightning is suffering from daddy issues because the secret that his father kept, lead
to his death.
The secret Luke Cage's father's kept lead to his half brother's life.
The ruthless bad guy shows no mercy.
He tortures his employees.
Over here the henchman are scared to death because he kills the employee that steps out
of line.
Over here, the henchman think it's kind of funny because it's obvious the gangster
was just playing.
The hero and bad guys cross bath at the gangster's club.
The criminals own a night spot.
The club gets a lot of attention from the community because the gangster selects the
best acts to go on stage every Friday and Saturday, but in the backrooms, that's where
they organize their evil plans.
No self respecting man would not be caught dead in a joint like that except Luke Cage,
I guess because he gets a job there to make ends meet.
Pierce earns a living working as the principal at Garfield High School.
What you do for a pay check could sometimes determine the respect you receive from the
neighborhood.
Ironically, the neighborhood respects Luke Cage more for his ties to the crime lord and
when he gives speeches, they're locked in like it's prime time.
In Black Lightning, it's usually religious leaders that give the speeches to motivate
the community.
When ever Pierce opens his mouth, he gets booed like he's performing at the Apollo.
The people start pressuring the main character to become a vigilante.
It sounds like an Everest Commercial (audio).
Since both of the characters are well known in the towns, they develop in alter ego to
fight crime.
Pierce becomes Black Lightning.
He uses his powers to mask his face so you can't tell it's him (audio).
Luke Cage does the same thing, but uses a hoodie.
Thunder did this in this show until she realized it was the dumbest idea in the world and common
sense made her find a different costume.
The criticism from the people gets to the main character.
He develops a heart for the youth.
One time, there's this troubled teen that's about to throw his life away.
The main character finds out he's staying at this beat down hotel and meets him there
to try and talk some sense into him.
To be honest, after their talk, the kid dies so basically, the hero made the situation
worse, but the point is that he tried and that's all that matters, I think.
The city's crime rates are higher than a crackhead and the hero says enough is enough.
He starts targeting the bad guy's places of business.
He barges into the crack house and starts dropping dudes left and right.
He also does the same thing at their club.
First he kills the power to the building and it's low key funny since you can't see
black people in the dark and it's the perfect camouflage.
Bullets start flying when the dust settles, he's the only one standing.
His random acts of kindness starts inspiring the black people in the community.
There's a protest rally organized by a community leader.
When the bad guy shows up, instead of being a symbol for hope, he's a target for death.
The gunmen shoot up the protest like ba da da da dat ba da da da dat ba da da da dat
dat dat and lots of innocent people are caught in the crossfire.
His vigilante adventures causes the gangs to lose a lot of money.
Since they can't fight him, they frame him instead.
Both of him and his alter ego are wanted for felonies.
Pierce is wanted for drug possession and he's innocent and Black Lightning is wanted for
murder and he's innocent.
Luke Cage is wanted for murder and he's innocent.
Carl Lucas is wanted for escaping prison and uh oh, guilty as charged.
He gets no respect in the big house.
His first day they give him a cavity search and his manhood is thrown in the garbage.
The most serious charge is the murder case.
The bad used a weapon that replicates the hero's power so the dead body looks it's
the result of the hero's super powers.
Once the plan works and the good guy stops patrolling the streets, the criminals flood
the market with tech that levels the playing by making regular people strong enough to
face the superhero head to head.
In Luke Cage, the equalizer comes in the form of the Judas bullet.
In Black Lightning, they use a drug called Green Light.
If the users use anyone of these, they're able to match up against the good guy.
The hero gets a low level thug to snitch and tell him everything he knows about the gangster's
operations.
He then gives the information to the black cop.
The black cop in this show trusts him so when he gets arrested, he knows the charges are
bogus and tries to get him out.
The black cop in this show is fine, but she's also an idiot and wants him behind bars just
as much as the bad guys.
She's a poor judge of character with her fellow officers too.
Misty was partners with a dirty cop and when there's mounting evidence proving he was
corrupt, all the other cops on the force believe it except her.
It's the other way around here because Henderson is the only one that thinks the deputy is
corrupt while the other officers don't suspect a thing.
The hero gets overconfident like the Golden State Warriors.
A thug pulls up on him and almost takes him out.
He starts losing his powers.
His DNA is all jacked up so he can't just go into a regular hospital, his ol' lady
is the only one that can take a look at him.
The neuroscientist has all this high tech equipment and she still can't figure out
what's going on.
All the night nurse needs is a middle school microscope and she knows exactly what time
it is (audio).
The medical lab gets compromised and a gun man tries to take a woman as a hostage.
Thickums tries to stop him, but fails miserably.
She gets knocked out by the gunman on this show and on this show, she gets knocked out
by her daddy.
They take the main character to the white man who's partly responsible for giving
the hero his power.
I'm not sure he knows what he's doing, but it doesn't really matter at this point.
The hero starts having a cardiac arrest and they have to use shock him before he dies
which would we be extremely awkward since there's a couple more episodes left to go.
He gets his powers back and a show down takes place at the main character's job.
The bad guy gives him that work, but in this TV show, he cheats because they hand to jump
Black Lightning, Diamondback doesn't even have powers and still gives Luke Cage dem
hands with no help.
And those are 24 reasons these are different so truth or dare, like and share, leave a
comment under there.
If you don't that's not fair, this thing took a week to prepare, but I'm not a rapper
though.

Virtual Ability Inc. - More Herbs, Less Salt Day Presentation - August 2018 - Duration: 7:24.
Hello!
Happy More Herbs, Less Salt Day!
Today, I'll be presenting some facts about this important day and some of the health
benefits that may be obtained by incorporating some of these herbs (and spices) into your
diet instead of salt.
Mook made some fantastic slides regarding a lot of this information and much more.
I recommend that you please click each poster in order to learn more beneficial information
about this very interesting, important, and fun topic!
If you're watching this as a recording, please see the links in the video description
below.
First off, what is More Herbs, Less Salt Day?
It's a day that encourages us to look at what we're consuming and guides us to identify
an easy… and tasty… way to add some nutrition into our meals.
Even if you don't cook, you may find that changing up your meals, even just a little
bit, can benefit your health.
So, let's talk about salt.
Table salt is actually an ionic chemical compound made of both sodium and chloride elements.
While salt is made up of both of those things, it is sodium itself that is vitally important
for our bodies.
Sodium works to keep our body fluids in balance, and helps with nerve transmission, muscular
contractions and various other important functions that are necessary in order for our bodies
to function properly.
Well, while it is necessary to have sodium in our diets, most diets today include way
more sodium than recommended.
Sodium can be found in everything from breads and cereals, to dairy products such as cheese
and sour cream, to even frozen chicken that has been packaged with a sodium solution.
Sodium is even prevalent in pizza and hamburgers.
One of the ways to cut down on the amount of sodium you consume is to cook meals at
home from scratch.
An easy way to cook meals, if cooking is new to you, is with a crock pot.
While a lot of meals call for salt, you can exchange that salt for herbs in order to add
extra flavor.
If you typically eat out instead, another way to cut down on salt would be to ask the
restaurant not to salt the food you order.
Even adding herbs to pre-packaged freezer meals can increase your intake of antioxidants,
vitamins, and nutrients.
It may be More Herbs, Less Salt Day, but spices
are also important and can provide an additional nutritional boost to your meals.
Herbs and spices both come from plants.
While herbs are the leaves, flowers, and stems of the plant, spices are any other part of
the plant, such as the bark, seed, fruit, and root of the plant.
Some examples of herbs are parsley, basil, dill, dandelion, thyme, oregano, sage, and
mint.
Examples of spices include cinnamon, pepper, turmeric, and sesame.
While there has been lots of recent scientific
research on the medicinal benefits of herbs and spices, the medicinal properties of plants
have been observed and well documented for centuries.
Please check out the links Mook put together in the slides for HealthInfo Island to find
links to fascinating studies on how including some herbs and spices were found to positively
affect Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular health, and more!
Please take note that while herbs and spices have fantastic health benefits and are generally
regarded as safe, they may also have effects that could prove problematic to certain health
conditions.
An example would be lemon balm.
It looks like mint and has a delightfully light lemon flavor.
It's considered a thyroid inhibitor and people suffering from hypothyroidism should
only include it into their diets under the guidance of a health-care practitioner.
Don't let that put you off of including herbs into your diet; a majority of everyday
culinary herbs have no interactions with medications or health conditions, and have many more benefits
than just food flavor enhancers.
An example would be turmeric.
Turmeric is currently one of the most popular spices for health, and for good reason.
Turmeric's main active ingredient is curcumin.
Curcumin's antibacterial activity was first noted in 1949.
Since then, after continued studies, it has been shown to possess not only antibacterial
activity but also anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, wound-healing and antimicrobial
activities.
Scientific studies that focus on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin
show promising results for the treatment of health problems such as arthritis, including osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis, heart attack, stroke, and skin disorders, as well as for the prevention
of Alzheimer's disease and even cancer.
Mook has some links to some wonderful information on curcumin in the slides so that you can
learn more about this amazing spice.
Including fresh herbs and spices into your
diet is easier to do than you might think.
Herbs in containers can grow on a windowsill, or even in a miniature greenhouse you can
stick on a shelf.
With a little practice, growing herbs can be a fun and healthfully rewarding prospect.
Mook has also included some great resources to growing your own herbs at home that include
not only growing herbs, but also harvesting them and storing them.
Mook also included some fantastic recipes and an herbal substitution recipe.
Please check them out.
Please also check out these slides for more
tips and tricks with herbs and spices, as well as infographics, posters, and charts.
As you can tell, herb and spices are flavorful
and beneficial additions to any and every meal.
I'd like to finish out my presentation by sharing one of my busy family's favorite
go-to recipes.
We call it Tuna Salad Wraps.
The recipe makes enough to cover 6 Romaine lettuce leaves; we typically eat two lettuce
wraps each.
You'll need 6 large Romaine lettuce leaves 6 slices of provolone cheese
3 cans of tuna 2 tbsp of mustard
2 tbsp of parsley 1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of black pepper 1/2 tsp of onion powder
1/4 tsp of turmeric
It's fun and easy to assemble this meal.
First, wash the Romaine leaves and lay them on plates.
Fold each piece of cheese in half; each leaf receives two half pieces
Mix together the tuna, mustard, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and turmeric,
and spread on top of the cheese.
Roll over the edges of the lettuce and enjoy!
