Lakeland Public Television presents
Currents with host Ray Gildow. Sponsored by
Nisswa Tax Service. Offering tax preparation for individuals
and businesses, across from the city hall in Nisswa and
on the web at nisswatax.com.
Ray: Hello again everyone and welcome to Lakeland Currents
where tonight we're going to be talking about something that's important
to all of us. Our eye health. And my
guest this evening is Doctor Seth Dokken who is the ah,
Doctor at the Staples Eye Clinic in Staples.
Ah, world renowned traveler. World renowned
fisherman. [laughing] I don't know if that's true or not.
But ah, one of our really good young Doctors in
the area. And I'm very happy to have him on the show this evening.
Seth, give us a little bit about your background.
Ah, where you took your training and
let us know who you are a little bit. Seth: Well, I grew up in ah,
a little town out in the middle of North Dakota
called Towner, North Dakota. And um,
so I went to school there and parents
live there still. And I did my undergraduate at the
University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Um,
there I met my wife, my beautiful wife of
I don't know 12 years now. Um,
so I did my undergrad there and then I went onto graduate school
in Chicago. So I went to Illinois college of optometry
in Chicago. Um, all said and done it was about
9 years of school and ah,
graduated there about 10 years ago. Um, my
wife being from Minnesota wanted to move
back to Minnesota. And ah, so
um we did. We have two beautiful young
girls, um. Ah, kindergartner
and a 3 year old. And we live right in Staples.
And we bought the eye clinic there about 5 years ago.
And so we, we do a lot of primary care
ah, I see anywhere yesterday I think my oldest
patient was 97 [Wow!] and my youngest patient was 3.
Ray: Wow, that's certainly. Seth: And so there's a variability there.
So, ah, I think when you practice in rural Minnesota you
you pretty well get used to seeing
everything. [Yeah] And ah, and that's...
my background. Ray: We were talking a little bit off air about
ah, how a Doctor an optometrist
is like a general practitioner, a Doctor.
Because the eye field is like all the medical
fields today, being very specialized. [Yup, yeah] What are some
of the specialties that are happening in your field? Seth: Yeah.
So really within you know, my field I do I
think of myself as a lot of times a primary care physician for your
eye. Ah, because I think on a regularly
daily basis, I send
patients to oh 5 or diff...
10 different specialists. You know, you have cornea specialists
which deal with ah, you know different
ocular diseases and lasik and those types of things. You have
your cataract surgeons which are...
you know, do that. You have your retina specialists
which handle a lot of your diabetics
and macular degeneration type patients. You also
have your lid specialists your blepharoplasty
type things where we're doing lid lifts
and oculoplastics. So, there's just a...
tremendous amount of
specialists in our field. And so I really think of myself as a
quarterback where I say, ok well we need to do this now.
And we get the patient going in the right direction there.
Ray: And we're going to talk about sort of the 3 major diseases
that people experience. But before we
do that maybe you could talk a little bit..I know you said
over the years you're seeing more and more young people
with issues that used to be considered
more older people issues, like cataracts. [Yeah, yup.] What
what's causing...do we have any idea what's causing that? Seth: Well, I
think that what's causing the cataracts stuff is really
the success of surgery is driving
patients ah, to be willing to get
it done a little earlier. Um, that's
what's happening in cataracts I think. Ah,
you have patients where they've talked to their mom
or dad or their spouse of their brother
or sister and maybe they're 55 or 60
a little younger on the cataract side but they say, gosh
I got done with this surgery and my eyes are so much
better than they used to be. So I think with the success of surgery
comes more surgery. The other thing is, is
you get into a lot of systemic diseases
ah, you're...there's been an increase in diabetes
and hypertension
patients. And so, with that increase
ah, in diseases you do get a lot more
ocular diseases as a side effect. You know, I think you're
typical diabetic is going to have cataract surgery probably
10 years sooner [Wow] than what they would've had it
without the diabetes on board. Ray: So there's an
ounce of prevention possible at least for that disease. Seth: Absolutely
Ray: By taking care of yourself. Losing weight, not having diabetes.
Seth: Yeah. Well and I think as a whole you know, ah
ounce of prevention is absolutely. You know, not
just cataracts but almost any ocular disease that
we look at. There's very much some
systemic components where you say, ok this is
this disease is a little bit more predisposed
to having problems with your eyes. Ray: How important
is wearing sunglasses
to the health of your eyes? Seth: It's definitely important.
You know, in Minnesota
not as important as in Florida.
The sun has less power up here. But
you know if you think about your eye it's really the
only organ in your body that's designed to let light
in. And we know from our dermatologists
and things like that, that light is
damaging. Light, ah, creates problems with
your skin. With all those things. And
your eye is really the only organ in your body that actually
lets light in. So if you don't protect your eyes they will
break down. Cause that light gets in and it really
damages some stuff for sure. Ray: Let's start out
with cataracts. And maybe you could help us understand
what cataracts are and then how are they
treated? Seth: Yeah, absolutely. I brought a little
slide with a couple of boys so that you
could see what you see here is
a...couple of boys with a soccer ball.
One picture is clear and the other one is kind of
a demonstration of what you would see with cataracts.
Most of the time it's just very blurry vision.
Um, you know cataracts is the most common
cause of blindness in the world today.
It's preventable, it's very
treatable. But I think we
you know as Americans we fix this stuff all the time
but we don't realize that in the world these are very
very serious problems when patients get older and get cataracts.
Most of my cataract patients
come in to me thinking that they need new glasses.
I would say at least
3/4 of my patients that need cataract surgery
come in to me and they say, "You know Doc, I got
these glasses 2, 3 years ago and I just
I can't drive at night. I can't
read anything anymore without a lot of light." And
I take a look at their eyes, I take a look at their prescription and
I say, "Well, you know all these things
are great. But really if you want to see better it's probably
going to take cataract surgery." Ray: So
technically what are cataracts? Seth: Cataracts are a break down
of the lens inside the eyes. So
we're all born with a lens in our eye just like a
lens in a camera. And with age
usually, it will start to break
down. And it becomes opaque and blurry.
And that. Ray: And yellow I've heard of people describing
it as yellowish looking. Seth: Yeah. Absolutely. One
you know, I see patients one day out of cataract surgery
and that's the most common thing that patients will
say of one day out of cataract surgery is, "Oh my
colors are completely different!" I had a gal
about I don't 6 months ago or so she
had repainted her house
cause she didn't like any of the colors in her house. And then we had cataract
surgery and she had to go back and repaint her whole house
again cause she didn't like any of the colors she had selected! Ray: Really! Wow. Seth: Yeah. [laughing]
Ray: Wow, that's interesting. Seth: Yeah so you know they change the color
ah, they also dim the vision. Where
night driving is very hard or
you know, gosh Doc I can read this but I sure need a lot
of light on it. And so they dim the vision down and make it
blurry. Is what happens with cataracts. Ray: I remember talking
in your office one day about how they first started
doing cataract surgery. And how compared
to today how primitive
it was, could you talk a little...I think it was in the Vietnam era
wasn't it? Seth: Yeah. Yeah, from what I understand
the first cataract surgery was kind of during Vietnam.
There was a surgeon, patient
had damaged their eye. And the lens, you know, was no
good anymore. And they had, they used to have glass
implants that they would put inside. And so obviously with
glass you can't bend it. So they'd have to make
large incisions and they'd have to stitch everything
together. In fact, that surgeon they took away
his license. [Really?] They wouldn't let
him practice. Later in life, they actually
put him in the hall of fame. [Oh, really?] But at that
time it was pretty radical surgery to take a lens out of
somebody's eye and put a new one in. And that's
really what's happened over the last 20 years I think with
cataract surgery is that the implant technology
has really improved where we're using
these plastic implants and we can fold them
and so the incision sizes are nothing.
And you know I don't even really remember the last cataract patient
that I had that actually had a stitch in their eye.
So it's all kind of needle driven and laser
driver and um, so the outcomes
have really improved with that. Ray: Well, I've had that surgery
in both of my eyes and I remember the Doctor saying
this will take about 7 to 9 minutes. [yup]
And it didn't take any longer than that. And like you said
the lenses are so small he took it
and it was folded, and he took a laser
and just....I don't even remember the laser
doing anything. I just remember seeing everything in the room
and then all of a sudden I just saw multiple colors in like a little
bowl of soup. And then all of a sudden it was back in there. [yeah, yup]
And he unfolded that in that little slot.
And [finger snapping] that was it. Seth: Yeah so they take the old
lens out with a it's called a phacoemulsifier.
It uses ultrasound technology to
and I always tell patients it's like a real small shop vac.
It's probably the best way to say it. They take the old lens out put the
new one in and it's...they unfold it inside the
eye and put it in place. Most patients
come back and say, "I thought they were just going to get
started and they said, "Ok well we're done.""
And that's cataract surgery. Cataract surgery
is the most common surgery performed in the United States
today. And cataract surgery is the most successful
surgery performed in the United States today. Most of my
patients I tell them, if you live long enough you
will have cataract surgery. It's very
common but the vast, vast majority of
patients come out of cataract surgery and say, "Doc, we
should have done that 5 years ago. I just see so
much better than what I used to see." Ray: Yeah. It's
I think anytime somebody's doing surgery on our
eyes it's pretty frightening. [it is] But I think that bottom
line from this debate right now should be that
it doesn't have to be that frightening. It's a pretty
standard surgery. But there can be complications,
what are some of those? Seth: There are certainly complications.
You can have, you know you can have infection that's
a very limited risk. In fact in
the 10 years that I've been practicing
being a part of several thousand cataract surgeries every year
I've seen one. Ah, you can
have lenses that move or
displace after the surgery. I've seen
that happen once. Um, you
know. Ray: Are those correctable? Seth: They are correctable.
You know usually with infection they've got to
get some high powered antibiotics on board.
And try to clear some of that stuff up. If the
implant moves, most often it doesn't really cause any
problems. It's just if it moves too far, that's where it'll cause
a lot of problems. The most common problem
with cataract surgery is what we call a secondary cataract.
Where the body puts a little membrane over
the top of the implant. Um, that
happens probably about 30% of the time. And so
when you get that patient who's had cataract surgery
and their vision is great and wow, I'm seeing good! And
then you see them back a year later and they say, you know I kind of
feel like my cataract's coming back. Well, it's often times happening
there is they're getting a little membrane over the top of
that implant that they put in. And with the laser and
about 15 seconds your ocular surgeon
can take that membrane right off. Ray: And then is that usually done
it doesn't usually happen again? Seth: Doesn't happen again. Ray: So it's
kind of a one time occurrence for 30% of patients that
have it. Seth: 30% but most people have 2 eyes and
so you know it's not too
uncommon to have one eye or the other where we're lasering it
off a year or two out. Ray: And it's common isn't it, to have
one eye done and another one done later? Seth: Yeah.
Most people I would say the vast majority of our
patients maybe 80 to 90% will have
their surgeries within 1 to 2 weeks
of each other. Just because they come out of the
first surgery and they go, "Holy cow! You took
my bad eye and made it my good eye. So let's
let's fix the other eye, too."
And so, yeah. Ray: So let's talk about another one of the
serious eye diseases the macular
degeneration. Seth: Yeah, yeah. Ray: And what is it?
Seth: Yeah, macular degeneration is really a break down
of the retina inside the eye. So that's kind
of like the film of the camera.
It breaks down with age. It's called
age related macular degeneration. And
so with life, with
too many birthdays it starts to come up.
And ah, so there's a couple of different forms
of macular degeneration. There's a wet
and a dry form of macular degeneration.
Macular degeneration effects the central part of the vision.
So the same picture with those two boys
which you'll see is that the side of the
boys are clear but that very central part of their faces
there is a little bit blurry. Ray: So, the macular
degeneration has got a just a gray area in the middle doesn't it. Seth: Just a hole
right in the middle, yeah. So,
wet macular degeneration is now getting more treatable.
We actually do do a pretty significant
amount of shots to try
to take care of some of that blood vessel growth that's
growing underneath the retina in wet macular degeneration.
And dry macular degeneration
I think there's some things coming
but really prevention is key there.
We try to tell patients with
strong family histories that you should probably be on
some type of a multi-vitamin with lutein.
Good healthy diet
with green leafy vegetables. Regular exercise.
Trying to get more circulation to that retina
because really what happens in macular degeneration
is that that retina doesn't get the nutrients
that it needs and it starts to break apart with
age. Ray: Wow. It used to be that people who
had that would go blind. Back in the
60's and 70's. And off air I was telling you
the story of a person I worked with. It's a true
story who was diagnosed with macular degeneration and the
next day went out in the garage and poured a 5 gallon can
of gas on himself and burnt himself up. [Yeah] Because
he just couldn't imagine living blind.
And it's not that severe anymore at all is it?
Seth: It is not. You know, I mean macular degeneration
is certainly a pretty serious disease.
But we've really come a long ways over the
last 10 years for sure. And I think looking
out you know, my patients, my young patients
you know I have patients that come in and they're 35 years old and they say well
grandpa has macular degeneration you know, do I need to
worry about it? And I say, well you know this is a
long time out and what our
profession and I think most of medicine changes
quite rapidly. So I think there is a lot of hope. But
really it's about prevention especially for those
younger patients. And trying not to
get to that point where that retina has already
broken down. And then it's not really
fixable. The eye is a nervous tissue. And so just
like spinal cord injuries or
various things like that it doesn't really come back. And
so really with any ocular disease the
point is to catch it early. Treat
it well and you can really save a lot of
vision there for sure. Ray: What's the more common, the dry or the
wet? Seth: Ah, dry. Ray: Dry? Seth: Yeah. Dry
macular degeneration is by far more common.
Wet macular degeneration is
more treatable now. But dry is
by far more common than wet. Ray: And what was the 3rd
disease that you wanted to emphasis today?
Seth: Yeah, the 3 major disease are cataracts,
macular degeneration and
glaucoma. Ray: Glaucoma. Seth: Yeah. Glaucoma is
the second leading cause of blindness in the world
today. Cataracts
being first. And what that is is that's
really a pressure issue. Where
the pressure inside the eye
is a little higher than it should be
and it starts to do damage on the optic
nerve in the back part of the eye. Ray: Which is why you do that test when you go and
have your eyes checked? Seth: Exactly. So that's why you know, everybody
Ray: Look at the balloon? Seth: Yeah, exactly so you know that's [laughing]
the test that we're probably famous for I would say. But
yeah, I mean we're always checking
pressure. Every time somebody comes in, it's just like your
blood pressure when you go to the doctor. It might have been
perfect for the last 10 times but they're probably going to
check it every time. And so we check pressure
a lot. What that glaucoma
is, is where you start to lose side vision. So again, those
same boys where the face
in the center is clear but all that peripheral vision
starts to go away with the glaucoma
patients. Glaucoma is, you know I think
one of the probably easier diseases that we
deal with. Ray: Really? Seth: It's
so treatable, you
can catch it quite readily
with regular eye care
almost any practitioner should be able to pick
up on glaucoma pretty easily. And usually with
medications or
things like that, different types of surgeries
you can lower that eye pressure and really most of
our glaucoma patients never have any problems
with their vision. Ray: Wow, that's encouraging. Seth: So, macular degeneration
is the leading cause of vision
loss in the United States. And especially
when you deal with the population up here that
kind of European, caucasian
population. They're
a lot more predisposed. So when you get that patient
and I try to tell them that up front where they're kind of that
blond hair, blue eyed lighter
complected patient you really want to be careful
with sun exposure
and things like that. Because that's where
you see a lot of macular degeneration is those
lighter complected individuals. Ray: Is there anything new
happening in transplants?
With the eye itself? Is there any
progress being made in that field? Seth: There is. They've started
to do a few retinal transplants. So where
your taking that macular
degeneration patient and replacing that retina
a little bit. Last time I checked they had done
17 in the nation. [Wow] So you know, my
patients that come in and say well we should
do this! I saw it one the news! I say, well..
[laughing] it's not quite there yet. They've done
17 and from what I understand there was 10 of them that were
successful. [Really?] And so I think you know as
I look 10, 15 years out
there certainly is some hope there. With
the retinal transplant and stem cell stuff, just like
you've seen news stories where this
person with a spinal cord injury is all of sudden walking.
again. So we're starting to get to a point where
we can effect nerves. But
at this point in time it's not a very common
procedure that we do. Ray; That's amazing though. And
where's that research being done for the most part? [I, well] Is it all over? Scattered, sort of?
Seth: Yeah, it's kind of scattered, but you know, most of it is at your big major
hospitals. Your Dukes and your John Hopkins.
And those types of places. Yeah. Ray: Okay, the cutting edge places
just for that? Seth: Yeah, the cutting edge research facilities - Harvard
and yeah, so. Ray: Well, let's talk about
something near and dear to my heart...floaters. [Okay] [laughing]
What is a floater? [Yeah!]
[laughing] I suppose if you're 20 years old or 25 years old you've not heard
about floaters. Although they can be... Seth: They can. Ray: There too can't they?
Seth: Yeah, absolutely. A floater is a
breakdown of a gel inside the eye called the vitreous.
And it's common. With age
it breaks down on almost everybody.
And you start to notice these
little bugs floating around your vision.
I in fact have one in my right eye which is my shooting
eye. So it does bother me a little bit when I'm out duck hunting.
But it breaks down and
you know very common.
For the most part, and I tell most of my patients the vast majority
of floaters are very benign and
they're best left alone. There are some surgeries to
take them out but those surgeries are inherently
a little risky compared to leaving the
floater. Where you want to be careful is if you have
a sudden onset of floaters with a lot of
flashes. Where you're getting these lightening
streaks kind of coming through the vision and you start to feel
like you're losing some peripheral vision.
Cause as those floaters break off they can
take the retina with them. And that's where you get into the
retinal tears, the retinal detachments.
Those types of things. Ray: This fall the
Vikings coach had that issue more than one time.
Is not an uncommon problem, is it? Seth: Not
uncommon. We certainly have, you know, several
patients every year or
every month that we're sending down to retina
specialists to get lasered down
or to have a retinal detachment repaired.
Any sudden onset of new floaters should
really be looked at pretty quickly.
I know in our office, our staff knows that if
somebody calls up and says, "Hey I have a new floater."
They say, " Well, how does noon work or how does
8 o'clock tomorrow morning work?" Ray: Get in right away?
Seth: You try to get them in right away.
The vast majority when you see that new floater
patient are benign. They don't cause any
problems but... Ray: They're just irritating. Seth: They are irritating.
[laughing] Yes, absolutely. They are irritating and
you know what, we do have some patients that go through the
surgery to take them out, if they get
irritating enough. But the vast majority we just try to leave alone.
Ray: Like you said, that's a pretty high risk surgery too. Seth: It is.
You know, I mean, it... it's not a
most surgeries nowadays
are pretty successful. Um, but
the consequences in eye surgeries tend to be very
very high. So even floater
surgery which tends to be you know, pretty
successful. I mean if something goes wrong, you do
have a patient that might not see anymore. And so the
consequences with what we do... and that's what
you're saying is it's pretty high. And people
get nervous about any sort of eye surgery. [Right]
Ray: How about another common issue and that's seeing flashing
lights. Seth: Yup. Flashing lights is when
the retina is getting a little tension on
it. So the retina is about the thickness of saran wrap.
So it's very very thin and so anything that
pulls on it you will get a little flash.
And flashes again, just like floaters, should probably
be investigated, usually we say within 24
hours. Ray: But they are often not serious too, are they?
Seth: Again, just like floaters often... very, very benign.
And so the vast majority
of the time there's nothing going on. But you do have to
situations where we are taking just like the Vikings
head coach and he's having an emergency retinal
surgery. See the retina, if it detaches,
has to be reattached very quickly.
Ray: Wow! That's really got to be finite surgery.
Seth: It is. You know, I think some of the retina specialists that we work
with are the best surgeons in the world really.
And you know, when you start to try to take saran
wrap and put it back together... it's
tough. It's difficult. [Wow] So not all retinal surgeries
come out great. But the vast majority do, so.
Ray: Well, we're down to the last minute but let's talk about
one more issue that I know of. That I've
experienced and I know it's pretty common too. Those ocular
headaches. Could you explain what is, what that is?
Seth: Yeah, when you get like an ocular migraine.
Yeah. Ocular migraines are very common.
And what that is is that's a little bit of a hiccup to the blood
supply going to the eye. And you get that
same kind of...where it
gets blurry in your eyes. Once that
blood supply comes back
usually the eye will restore back to normal.
But, but a lot of times...
Ray: Ziggy. Ziggy little things is what I've seen on the top and I have only
experienced it maybe a couple of times in my life but
it makes you a little nervous. Seth: Yup and we're always investigating in those
situations. You know, how is your blood pressure? How is
your blood sugar? Because a lot of times it is kind of little
hiccups in the blood supply going up to your eyes. [Oh, wow]
Is actually what causes a lot of those. [Oh, wow] And again,
the vast majority of time they're pretty benign
but you're going to want to get any new changes investigated
pretty quickly. Ray: So how do people get a hold of you, Seth?
Seth: Yeah, you can call our office,
the Staples Eye Clinic. Our phone number is 218-894-1331.
We also have a website,
stapleseyeclinic.com which is a good place
and a Facebook page which is run by my wife
cause I'm not super Facebook compatible.
But, um so yeah, those will probably be the best ways to get a hold
of us and we certainly welcome new patients
and we love to see new faces
and try to give them the best care possible for their eyes. Ray: Well,
thanks for jumping on the show with us. We appreciate it. Very good information.
Seth: Sounds good. Thank you. Yeah. Ray: Thank you. You've been watching
Lakeland Currents where we're talking about what you're talking about.
I'm Ray Gildow. So long until next time.

What if Excalibur was real? - Episode #11 - Stuff About Ace Combat - Duration: 9:01.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if those Strangereal superweapons from
the Ace Combat games were real?
If you're like me you probably did and that's exactly the topic of this video -
What if Excalibur was real?
Let's take a look at some of the specifications of this Strangereal superweapon and see how
it would play out in a real world scenario assuming, of course, if we had the technology
and the resources to build a real live version of Excalibur.
First and foremost we need to understand the strategic concept of this super weapon.
Excalibur is laser firing complex developed by the Belkans during the 1980s and built
in the 1990s with the goal of intercepting and destroying ICBMs thus serving as a shield
to protect the country in the event of a nuclear war.
As you have also seen during the Belkan War, Excalibur can also be used, to a certain degree,
as an anti-aircraft weapon against large and slow aircraft such as bombers and transports,
however Excalibur isn't effective against fast and manoeuvrable aircraft such as fighters
who are able to quickly change direction and therefore evade its attacks.
According to mission 8 of Ace Combat Zero, a single attack from Excalibur's laser beam
is enough to destroy any aircraft.
To get some more information about the weapon I measured how long each laser beam lasts
and what is the interval between them - the period the weapon needs in order to cool down
- and I got a beam of about 7 seconds long and an interval of 5.3 seconds between two beams.
I did the same in mission 9 and the results were quite different, in mission 9 the laser
beam lasts 9.1 seconds long and the cooling interval is almost 17 seconds long.
Because the two measurements differ, I will use the ones from mission 8 since Excalibur
is supposed to be a long range weapon.
Using these numbers we get about 5 beams per minute if the time for the cooling is taken into account.
According to Acepedia, each laser beam requires 1.21 gigawatts of electricity.
But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of...
1.21 GIGAWATTS?!?!
- that is approximately the same as the output of the Torness Nuclear Power Station in the UK
and that is a lot of energy!
Now that we know how much energy it takes to fire Excalibur, what about its range?
How far can we target something and hit it with Excalibur?
There are actually two different ranges for Excalibur, they are the ranges with and without
satellite support and you can clearly see the difference between them because in Mission 8
the beam is vertical, therefore it goes Excalibur - Satellite - Target, and in mission 9
the laser comes straight out of Excalibur.
Let's first take a look at the range without satellite support, in this scenario Excalibur
would work based on the line of sight principle, meaning that there needs to be a straight
line between Excalibur and the target, and because Earth isn't flat the curvature of
the planet must limit the range of Excalibur at some point.
In order to calculate the range without satellite we can use this formula to calculate the distance
to the horizon from Excalibur, and the only thing we need is the height of Excalibur, which we can simply
measure by flying beside it and is about 3000 feet.
Now that we know the height of Excalibur compared to mean sea level, I've plugged in the numbers
into this online calculator and we get a range of 107 kilometres.
Keep in mind though that this comes under the assumption that all the terrain around
Excalibur is not higher than the mean sea level which of course isn't true but this
would give us the maximum possible range if Excalibur was built by the beach.
As you can see in the diagram, the shaded region represents the area that is out of
range of Excalibur due to the curvature of Earth but note that it can still hit aircraft
flying at certain altitudes - and if you want to know the range of Excalibur for certain
altitudes you can plug in the altitude right here in and you will get an specific firing
range for that altitude.
But what about the range with satellites?
Fortunately we don't need any formula to figure that out.
According to Acepedia, Excalibur's theoretical range with satellite support is about 1,200km
– that is the same as Stonehenge's - and that's a 1093 kilometer increase in range when you put the satellites together with Excalibur.
With these specifications in mind let's look at some real life scenarios and tactics regarding Excalibur.
Real World Scenarios
With an attack radius of 1,200 km and covering an area of about 4,500,000 square kilometres
(which is larger than India), Excalibur could completely cover any Western or Central European
country and have enough range to attack the neighbouring nations.
If Excalibur was to be built anywhere in Europe, it would drastically change the whole geopolitical
system in place in favour of the country who controls the weapon.
Meanwhile if it was built in Eastern Asia, it would be able to protect either South Korea
or Japan from a North Korean nuclear attack.
If it was built in the capital of the United States, it would be able to cover
most of the eastern coast, an area so large that would include parts of Florida and Canada.
Excalibur's Defenses
As mentioned before, Excalibur is primarily a defensive weapon against ICBMs with some
limited anti-aircraft capabilities.
If Excalibur was real it would be almost impossible to destroy it due to its defensive capabilities.
First, you cannot use missiles or bombers because those
can be destroyed by Excalibur from long range.
Second, you would need to get through the 1,200 kilometres firing range which is something
only fast and agile fighters would be able to do by using the estimated firing location
technique as it was used in mission 8 of Ace Combat Zero.
Third, when you get into the range without satellite support, Excalibur will be able
to cover a wide area in a single beam as you can see in the diagram here.
Fourth, by the time you get close enough to Excalibur you will have to deal with the jammers
and anti-aircraft weapons such as the Rail-based tactical laser systems.
In short, the only way of destroying Excalibur would be by either deploying stealth aircraft
that could remain undetected while flying to Excalibur or using conventional aircraft
that could use the terrain, such as hills and mountains, as cover while flying towards Excalibur.
Attacking with Excalibur
Despite the extended range Excalibur has, one major flaw of the weapon is that it needs
some kind of radar coverage in order to track and hit targets.
Without that Excalibur would only be able to attack and hit non-moving targets such
as cities or airfields.
Where to build it
First things first, you're going to need a lot of energy in order to operate Excalibur
so building it close to a good source of energy is recommended.
Other than that, it should be built in a central region of a country, far from any borders,
in order to better defend itself against any surprise attack from a neighbouring country
and to cover more area of the home country.
Also it is recommended to build it in a plain or flat region so that enemy aircraft cannot
use the surrounding terrain as cover.
These were my thoughts and considerations about the constitution of Excalibur and how
it would play out had it been built on Earth.
Of course we will never see an Excalibur here on our planet Earth but I hope that this video,
although being a "what if video", helped you understand the true power and magnitude
behind Excalibur which I think is the most underrated superweapon of the Ace Combat series
since it can attack enemies in the air, ground, sea and even space as long as they are in
line of sight or in the 1,200 kilometres range.
Before we finish it up, I'd like to give my thanks to the folks from Acepedia for some
of the data that was crucial in the creation of this video and as always, stay tuned to
the channel for more Ace Combat!

Susan Rice Refuses To Testify, Until Trey Gowdy Comes Up With The Perfect Plan To Force Her To - Duration: 2:22.
Susan Rice Refuses To Testify, Until Trey Gowdy Comes Up With The Perfect Plan To Force
Her To
Susan recently refused to testify in court.
Her excuse was that her invitation to the court was not 'bipartisan'.
She claimed that a Democrat didn't sign off on the request.
"Chairman Graham's invitation was extended only after the hearing was noticed, less than
two weeks before the hearing was scheduled to occur, and without consultation with Ambassador
Rice, a professional courtesy that would customarily be extended to any witness," explained her
lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler.
However, Trey Gowdy shared another way that they could force Rice to testify in court
if she isn't willing to on her own.
"There are other ways to invite people other than via a letter.
There are things called subpoenas.
You shouldn't have to use it with a former national security adviser, but if you do,
you do," said Gowdy.
"Members of Congress don't pick the witnesses.
Lawyers don't pick witnesses.
The facts pick the witnesses.And whether Ambassador Rice likes it or not, she's a really important
fact witness," said Gowdy.
In that same interview Trey Gowdy blasted Hillary Clinton.
"I don't think [Comey] told Secretary Clinton to have her own server.
I don't think he told her to give disingenuous answers to questions throughout the campaign.
I don't think he told Anthony Weiner to communicate via text with underage girls.
Secretary Clinton, at some point, ought to do a little self reflection," said Gowdy.
Check out Gowdy's interview below.

What I do in Japan and Advice to Future Students - Duration: 8:29.
So it's the weekend, you know what that means, right?
Leila gets a chance to come to the lab with me and feed my fish.
When she was much younger, she was a bit scared to come to the lab because it was loud.
And water is running everywhere.
But now, she's much more comfortable coming to the lab with me.
Usually, she would come during holidays, because the nursery is closed.
And during weekends, usually Sundays.
Because the nursery is also closed on Sundays.
So yeah, she gets to come and see what mommy is doing.
Hello everyone!
This video is to briefly go over what I do in Japan.
I am actually a phD student at Kagoshima University.
I am studying aquaculture.
Which is something I hope to make my career in the future.
So initially, we have to make our own feed.
For both fish and shrimps, we have to make it in form of pellets.
This makes it easier to quantify how much food we are actually giving the fish or the
shrimps.
Of course, we use all natural ingredients.
The food is perfectly safe to give to both the fish and the shrimps.
I think that's the reason why I actually chose Japan.
Japan's aquaculture industry is really good and safe.
And Japanese people trust it so much that they take the fish out of the water in aquaculture
farms and eat it raw like that, you know.
After preparing the feed, we have to set up the tanks and get everything ready for the
fish or shrimps we are trying to grow.
I especially love working with shrimps, especially from the larval stage, straight up.
Because you get to see them grow from very small, to very big so fast.
Of course, the best part of growing fish is eating it right?
I'd like to give some advice to anybody coming to Japan to study.
I graduated from the Bahamas with my Bachelor's degree and I did a little bit of studying
abroad in Canada for about 4 months.
And...
I was more used to having exams and tests and those kinds of things.
Here, you get mainly homework and reports.
In Japan, everything is more hands-on, they want you to do more practical work.
They want you to focus more on your research as opposed to having to study day and night
trying to cram notes inside your head.
Here, you get more reports and homework, as opposed to tests and exams which is great
so you can focus more on your research, on actually learning something.
because with me, I learn better by doing as opposed to being told what to do.
And I learn better by seeing it being done as opposed to reading it in books.
So that study style is much more appropriate for me.
If you're more of a bookworm and you prefer staying in the library and studying, then
maybe you would probably feel a little bit lost at first when you come here.
But if you're more of a hands-on person, learning by seeing and touching, then you will feel
right at home here.
When you come to Japan to study for your master's or your phD, find out the rules of your laboratory.
In terms of what is required of you.
Communicate with your professors and your senpai and learn about what is needed, in
terms of getting the grades and getting the required stuff to graduate.
As long as you attend all the classes and the seminars.
And you participate in laboratory work, you should be able to do well in Japan, I think.
Make your study abroad experience, an experience by going outside and seeing different things.
By not eating in the same restaurants, by not going to the same places.
Like me, I did several things that I never thought I would do, or that I never would
have done in my home country.
Like, I dressed up as a maiko in Kyoto.
I had tea ceremonies in different places.
I dressed up in kimonos.
I went to the robot restaurant in Tokyo.
I went to Miyajima.
They had deers wandering around.
And they pretty much ate all my maps that I had in my hands.
Because when you first go, you can get some brochures and maps of the whole island, and
they ate that.
Also, we went to Kyoto, and we went to Fushimi Inari, which is a very famous shrine.
And we climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.
And it was so exhausting.
They had elderly persons, passing us by, saying "Ganbatte ne".
They're so used to climbing up the mountain with such energy.
And we were like... ugh.
So tired.
It took us, I think it took us an hour and a half.
I don't remember.
But it took us a very long time to climb up the mountain.
When we finally reached, we felt so happy with ourselves.
So those kinds of things make you enjoy your experience in Japan, in my opinion.
I think if I was stuck in my room all day or seeing the same things everyday.
Going to the same places everyday.
Not exploring my neighborhood.
I would be so depressed being here because I'm the kind of person that needs adventure.
I need to go out.
I need to see different things.
I get joy out of just going out in nature.
And just exploring different things.
Getting my hands dirty and having fun with that.
So, in that sense, I think I would have been so depressed if I just stayed in my room all day.
But, any weekends that I had off or any major holiday that we have in Japan.
Or any free time I had.
I would take that occasion to explore a little bit.
When you go to a foreign country, it's very important to explore and get to know where
you're living.
It's good to have memories, like pictures and videos.
To remind yourself of different things.
I think, physical memories like buying souvenir is good also, but you tend to lose those.
But if you have the pictures and the videos to remind yourself of the experience.
You tend to feel more nostalgic of it all.
And you get to relive your experience by looking at the videos and pictures.
Make your study abroad experience an experience.
That's my motto coming to Japan.
that's what I had set out to do when I first came.
I think I'm accomplishing that as I'm going along.
And I'm lucky that I have my family with me.
But even if I was alone, I would still do the same.
I like to explore by myself or with my family, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, have fun.
Don't be stuck in the same place.
Any free time you get, go out, enjoy, just smell different air.
See different things.
Keep trying different foods.
Don't be scared to ask questions as to why certain things are being done,
so that you can get a better understanding as to why it's being done.
And that's it.
But of course, your priority when coming to Japan as a student is actually studying.
So make sure that you have all your grades.
That you know all the requirements for graduation.
And that you have all the classes done.
And that everything is being done, all the reports are being done.
That communication with your professor is also solid before you go into any adventure.
Okay?
So, I hope that this helped you a little bit.
Thank you so much for watching.
Take care.
Bye.

Understanding Soul ContractsAgreements We Made Before Coming To - Duration: 5:05.
Understanding Soul Contracts: Agreements We Made Before Coming To Earth
Before we are born we are asked just one question by our soul family.
�What is it you would like to learn this lifetime?� It is then, in our answer, that
soul contracts are formed.
If we wish to learn patience, we will not ask to be surrounded by Zen Masters, but rather
people (siblings for example) who will push our buttons and annoy us to the ends of the
earth.
If we wish to learn love, we will be shown hate, and no matter the lesson, we ask that
the opposite be brought to us for example, if self confidence is chosen, then friends
in disguise will come and step on us.
It is within this very principle that all soul contracts are based, for it is only in
being stepped on that we have no choice but to learn to STAND UP for ourselves.
Self development can be a deeply painful process that by nature requires us to be scrubbed.
It is in the repetitive scrubbing of a diamond that it gains its sparkle and we are no different.
There are two kinds of pain, learning pain and abusive pain.
While the latter serves little to no purpose, the former is fundamental to our growth as
human beings.
Other than beginner�s luck, which (in my opinion) is the universes way of showing us
that we can achieve a high level of success, with of course, practice; the first step to
growth is being knocked off balance.
We get removed from center by �x� amount which is directly proportionate to how much
we have chosen to learn.
It is through learning and growth that we come back to our center with the tools that
were required to bring ourselves home.
The flip side of our return to balance is expressed directly as growth.
The universe in its infinite love for us will continue to send us lessons, and one of the
most frustrating truths to accept is as follows: �Wow, you learned a lesson, you overcame
a problem?
Congratulations, here is your reward� ANOTHER problem.� Each time we show the universe
that we can take the heat, life becomes a little hotter!
It is simply one of the painful aspects to this path of learning, yet it is beautiful
because of the growth we experience from it.
The main thing to remember here (going full circle) is that it is our friends who come
to teach us these lessons.
It is our soul friends who (by our consent) hurt us, our friends who betray us and our
friends who give us our opportunities to learn.
In order for these experiences to seem real, we naturally forget that they are our friends
when we cross over the river of forgetfulness (birth).
If you would rather be happy than right, just pretend that they love you, it will definitely
change your perspective!

Prince Charles Wants Prince Andrew Thrown Out of Royal Family: Queen Elizabeth Refuses? - Duration: 3:16.
Prince Charles wants to throw alleged teen romance slave offender Prince Andrew out of
the royal family but Queen Elizabeth refuses. Prince Andrew and Prince Charles are reportedly
embroiled in the biggest feud of their lives, and because one of them is the Crown Prince
and the other is the Prince�s brother, things are about get real ugly. Their relationship
was reportedly always strained, but things got significantly worse after Prince Andrew�s
romance scandal came out earlier last month, causing the relationship between the two brothers
to reach a tipping point. A long article from the Daily Mail goes into
the details regarding the relationship, focusing on how Prince Charles didn�t invite Prince
Andrew to his 66th birthday party, even though the party was held at Buckingham Palace and
Andrew was near the venue at the time. Plus, Charles has reportedly cut the majority of
his contact with Andrew after the romance scandal came out, understandably so. It�s
one thing for Prince Andrew to be involved in a scandal of this level, but for Charles
to get personally involved in it or seen showing any form of sympathy towards his brother?
The press was already having a field day with the story, but if Charles had gotten involved,
it would have reached Defcon 1 at the Palace press office.
Several family friends have confirmed the feud, explaining, �I was told never to mention
Andrew�s name in the Prince of Wales�s company. This is no brotherly spat. It is
a seismic shift downhill in Charles�s relationship with his errant brother which seems terminal.
Andrew is having to live with the harsh reality that Charles has cut him off and left him
out in the cold.� Plus, these sources also add, �Charles has
very serious concerns about Andrew. He can see legal fees going through the roof, there�s
a serious risk of Andrew becoming involved in a court case, and unanswered questions
about his friendship with Epstein and this girl. Then there�s the fact that Andrew
is still living with his ex wife and has just bought a very expensive ski chalet with her.
Charles thinks Andrew is making a fool of himself where Sarah is concerned.�
Apparently, Charles knows that Queen Elizabeth won�t cut off her second son no matter what
he gets himself into, so he�s taking matters into his own hands. He�s reportedly always
felt that Prince Andrew was an embarrassment on the royal family for far too long, and
he�s finally grown the courage to cut Andrew off with the perfect excuse. Who�s going
to question this feud when Andrew�s name is still associated with that illegal romance
scandal? Nobody. Family values can only go so far when there�s an entire monarchy�s
reputation at stake. What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts

Do Plants Feel Pain? | Darkology #17 - Duration: 6:26.
Pain.
It's an unpleasant sensation that we humans experience from time to time.
It's a reaction that warns us that something is unsafe or that we are being harmed.
And it's this important neural signal that tells us that our bodies need extra care.
Our unpleasant experience with pain has led some of us to develop a care and concern for
others who may be going through pain, including other beings in the world.
In an effort to show compassion or benevolence to other creatures, we've developed organizations
that focus on the humane treatment of animals, who can also experience pain.
It has led many of us to lead greener, more vegan lifestyles.
From the products we buy to the foods we eat.
But what about plants?
Can plants feel pain?
If a venus flytrap is capable of movement in the same way a flesh and blood organic
being is, who's to say that it doesn't experience a range of other similarities?
Let's take for example the smell of freshly cut grass.
For many of us, this is a rather pleasant scent.
But what if it's really the plant's way of screaming for help?
What if it's the plant's way of crying in agony?
If that were the case, would "pleasant" be the right word here?
Scientists have found that the smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical
distress call being emitted by the plants- a signal of molecular communications that
have several uses linked to survival.
From poisoning an enemy, to alerting plants nearby of potential danger, to enlisting the
aid of insects nearby, such as bees who help pollinate the plant and ensure the continuity
of its species.
It is clear that this is a response to being damaged.
German scientists have developed a way to pick up sounds that are unrecognized by the
naked human ear.
Using a laser-driven microphone, scientists at the Institute for Applied Physics at the
University of Bonn have found that flowers whimper when a leaf is cut and cucumbers squeal
when they get sick.
A growing body of research suggests that at the very least, plants instinctively respond
to being harmed.
The plant itself doesn't actually make a sound.
When a leaf or stem is cut off, the plant "cries out" by releasing the gas, ethylene
over its entire surface.
When specially calibrated lasers are pointed at the ethylene molecules, they begin to vibrate,
emitting a sound.
The more pressure, the more ethylene released, the louder the sound.
If plants are capable of perceiving a sense of their own environment, and adjusting their
morphology, physiology, and phenotype accordingly, then doesn't that tell us that at least
on some level, plants can feel?
All living organisms strive to maintain a balance of homeostasis, or in other words,
will instinctively do what it can to survive.
But does a tree growing more girthy and less tall in a windier environment to avoid being
blown out of the ground necessarily mean that it will suffer a sensation of pain if its
leaves are cut?
Some researchers and botanists argue that pain is a sensation that is strictly linked
with the brain.
Without a brain, pain can't possibly be registered.
But despite this lack of a perceivable brain or even conscious awareness, plants still
seem to exhibit some form of intelligence.
According to Daniel Chamovitz, a biologist and the author of What a Plant Knows, at the
very least, plants can feel.
When leaves are under attack by insects, they emit electric signals from leaf to leaf, sending
out the message that it must protect itself.
This occurs very similar to how information moves along a nervous system, however plants
do this without a proper neural system like the kind we humans have.
What does this mean?
It means that neural systems are simply one way to process information- more specifically
our way- but they aren't the only way.
Another thing to consider is that damage doesn't necessarily equate to pain.
We humans feel pain because we have pain receptors called nociceptors.
They're programmed to respond to pain- not to touch.
Some people can have genetic malfunctions where they feel pressure but never feel pain
because they don't have pain receptors.
We don't have enough evidence to suggest that plants feel pain.
Chamovitz suggests that plants are not cognizant.
They don't have a consciousness like we do.
They aren't self-aware like we are.
When we cut a leaf, we assume that the plant is suffering.
But that might just be our own anthropomorphism- our need to give similar human characteristics
to nonhuman things, kicking in.
We have a tendency to assume that other entities in the world around us have experiences similar
to our own, though that can lead us to a lot of false assumptions.
Even though plants do feel, they don't have a personality or the cognizant capacity to
recognize damage as suffering.
Plants don't have pain receptors.
They have pressure receptors that allow them to know when they're being touched or moved-
a specific nerve cell called a mechanoreceptor.
So you can definitely kill a plant, but it doesn't care.
Chamovitz sums it up as: they can feel themselves being eaten, they just don't have the capacity
to give a shit.
If they did, we might see a reality like in M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening".
So it seems we're at a stand still.
While it's clear that plants respond to certain stimuli, we haven't yet been able
to address whether or not plants actually experience pain.
We know that they don't have a brain or nervous system like our own, though evidence
points to a complex connection of mechanisms that could at the very least lead to a pseudo-emotion
that we could one day classify as pain similar to the kind we experience.
How we would be able to identify that remains a mystery.
And then there's the idea that plants are not cognizant beings with thoughts and emotions.
But then again, they do feel.
And even if we did realize that plants did indeed experience pain, what would that mean
for our diet?
Would vegetarians and vegans just eat nothing to avoid causing pain to others and die of
starvation?
Would we evolve to a diet of oxygen, water, and sunlight?
Or would we adapt as we always do?

What is she saying?(26) (Listening Practice) [ ForB English Lesson ] - Duration: 2:54.
Hi, everyone!
You're watching ForB English.
I'm Gabriella and today we are doing "What is she saying?"
So you are going to guess what I'm saying.
Are you ready?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Can you guess what I'm saying?
Let's try it now with a hint.
Are you ready?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Could you get it this time?
Let's try it a little bit slower now.
Are you ready?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
OK, I'm going to reveal the answer now.
The answer is "Beef or fish?"
Beef or fish?
So, this is probably a typical question somebody might ask you in a restaurant
when you are ordering food.
They might say, "do you want beef or fish?" but in reality, we pronounce this expression
very relaxed and a little bit quicker.
So maybe you thought I was saying letter "b" from the alphabet
but actually, it was beef so the "f" sound was a little bit less pronounced so "beef or"
and then "for" becomes a kind of weaker sound,
we call this a weak schwa sound in English.
Basically, just a relaxed "uh" sound, so beef "uh" instead of "for" but it's the same word as for,
beef "uh" fish, fish.
So the stress is on fish at the end of the expression.
So let's practice this a little bit together now. Natural, relaxed native speed.
We'll start slowly.
Please repeat after me.
Beef or fish?
Now, a little bit faster.
Beef or fish?
And native speed.
Beef or fish?
Very good.
Now let's try it three times at native speed.
Are you ready?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Beef or fish?
Great job!
OK, thank you very much for watching.
Now you can understand whether someone is asking if you want beef or fish.
And, um, I hope you choose the right one.
So good luck!
Thank you very much for watching.

Fox's Democrat Bob Beckel Gives Democrats A Brutal Warning, Even Greg Gutfeld Thinks It's Spot On - Duration: 2:12.
Fox's Democrat Bob Beckel Gives Democrats A Brutal Warning, Even Greg Gutfeld Thinks
It's Spot On
Fox's Democrat Bob Beckel seems like he was finally influenced by his Republican friends
into thinking straight.
He gave Democrats a huge warning that even Greg Gutfeld thought was spot on.
"Let me just say, I'm going to anger my Democratic friends, they're already mad
at me about this," Beckel started.
"We continue to say we're the party of labor, women, minorities — you know, LGBT
— whatever it is.
I gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
I said, 'We've got to stop doing that and get back to where we were built — which
is, helping people who are working people.'
And they don't identify with that," said Beckel.
"And the idea that Republicans would get anybody who is a working person to vote for
them is amazing to me, but the Democrats deserve a lot of the responsibility," said Beckel.
Greg Gutfeld also commented.
"You know how you know your religion — which is identity politics — is toxic?
It's when you can't tell the difference between the real story and the parody,"
Gutfeld said.
"Like when you think it might be an Onion story — it might be a joke — but then
you find that it's actually real that somebody believes this, that somebody says if you serve
tacos at a party it's cultural appropriation," said Gutfeld.

How to overcome Writer's block - Duration: 3:27.
Writer's block how do you overcome writer's block
When you're vlogging it's sometimes helpful
to write our script sometimes it's a
lack of ideas sometimes it's an
overabundance of idea. You have too many ideas and
you kind of get bunged up and what I do is
I write down every single idea or I'll
make a short video quickly to remind
myself of what I thought off, then you start to think
well I've got all these ideas and then this
you get overwhelmed with the number of
ideas that you've got and it can get a
bit daunting so what I do. When I used to
write on blogs what I used to is to
sit down and just start writing and
see what came out and it could be a load of
rubbish or it could lead to something
interesting and I take the same
approach with vlogging I'll start to
film something and then throughout the
day I'll add to it and sometimes you get
complete randomness it's just completely
random there's no theme to it or there's no
cohesion to the whole film so you have
to try and find a common theme
throughout the clips that you've got to
make it work as a whole story.
So writer's block for me is more like being
constipated. You're full up with ideas and
you just want to get them out and
sometimes when you look at them it might
take weeks to look back over that
work and say okay that will work or this
will work and then you start to add
films from different periods that make
sense together. That's how it works for me so
writer's block is a real thing. Looking at
I'm sure we've all at that moment
where we looked at the blank page and
thought. What the hell do we do with this?
and it's quite a common common
thing for people that write and any
creative really I suppose
any person who is
in the creative field will have these
periods of time where you seem to get
blocked and it's not for want of ideas
But it's. You know coherence and getting
the whole thing to hang together
so what I do and like I just said I'll
start to write or I'll start to film
and then I'll maybe go for a walk just
for a wander like this today
So when I've been out for walk or gone
somewhere or visited somewhere
I'm always filming I'm always filming
everywhere I go and you never know
what's going to spark off an idea in
your head. It's always a good idea to have a
camera with you or if you are a writer
keep a notebook obviously yes it's a
weird situation
There goes a lorry
There is always the distraction
of noise
forget about writing forget about vlogging
go and do something entirely different
with writer's block
you can't think of new ideas or
the ideas you've got are not melding together
properly if you ever have
writers and you are just sort of
stumped for ideas. You can't think
straight so let alone writing anything
can't figure out what to do next so
So sometimes when you're blocked just try
to distract yourself go and do something entirely different
maybe go for a walk
