[♪♩INTRO]
From spooky ghosts to UFOs to mysterious, floating lights, there are all kinds of weird
stories out there that seem impossible to explain unless there's something paranormal
going on.
But even the creepiest campfire stories can be debunked with the right questions and some
careful observation.
So here are three times scientists looked into something strange and found a perfectly
rational — although in some cases, still very unsettling — scientific explanation
for it.
Like in one supposedly-haunted lab in the UK.
In the late 1990s, people who worked there could often feel waves of fear or shivers,
and one engineer even saw a terrifying gray apparition from the corner of his eye.
But he figured there had to be a reason for it.
This engineer also happened to be a fencer, and one day he brought his foil -- a thin
fencing sword -- to the lab to adjust it for an upcoming competition.
When he set the foil in a clamp, the blade started vibrating, almost like a ghost was
shaking it.
Except, it wasn't a ghost.
By moving the foil around the lab and observing it, he figured out that the room contained
a low-frequency sound wave, which he eventually traced back to the lab's new fan.
That explained pretty much all of the spooky stuff that had been going on.
The foil shook because the sound wave was at its resonant frequency, a frequency that
easily made it start vibrating.
All objects have one, and it's also why if you run your finger
around a glass, it'll sing a nice little song.
This wave had a frequency of about 19 Hertz, or 19 vibrations per second, which is right
below the range of human hearing — what's called infrasound.
Studies have shown that strong infrasound waves can cause uneasiness and dizziness,
which can seem a lot like a haunting.
Because infrasound vibrates through your body's tissues, it can affect your sense of balance,
your breathing rate, and your blood pressure.
It can even cause apparitions, since the resonant frequency of your eyeballs is also about 19
Hertz.
So the ghost the engineer saw was caused by his eyeballs vibrating, which is super freaky, actually,
and kind of gross to think about, but at least it wasn't an actual ghost.
In some stories, something that's said to be paranormal is caught on camera, too.
The Internet is full of photos of long, rod-like insects with multiple sets of wings, and they've
been passed off as things like UFOs, aliens, and interdimensional creatures.
It turns out they're just bugs -- usually moths.
The creation of these ghostly images has to do with how cameras work.
Insects usually beat their wings a lot faster than a camera can capture an image
so something like a moth will flap several times while a camera is recording one frame.
And as it's capturing that image, the insect is also moving across its field of view.
The result is that the moth looks like
a blurry, elongated rod with multiple sets of wings.
If you've ever tried to take a long exposure photograph of anything, you have probably
seen something like this.
The length of the rod is related to how fast the insect is moving and how far it is from
the camera.
The faster and closer it flies, the longer your mysterious interdimensional visitor.
Cryptozoologists call these "rods" or "skyfish"
I like both of those names a lot, but as cool as they sound and as cool as it would be to have
alien Interdimensional skyfish flying around us, these are just mostly moths flying
to a different beat.
Finally, if you've been to the tiny city of Marfa, Texas, you might've driven down
US Highway 67 and spotted what looked like a UFO in the distance.
On some nights, these so-called Marfa Lights appear above the horizon, hovering and blinking
like spaceships.
There's even a viewing area for them along the road.
But surprise: They're also not aliens.
Local university students thought they might be caused by car headlights, so in 2004, they
did experiments to shed some light on the situation.
They set up cameras to monitor the lights and a box to measure the traffic on Highway
67.
They also tracked a car driving down the road to see if the highway was directly visible
from the Marfa Lights viewing area.
The results weren't that spooky or surprising: they found that the Marfa Lights were probably
caused by the atmosphere reflecting headlights from the highway.
There was a direct relationship between the number of Marfa Lights and the amount of traffic,
and the group at the viewing area could even tell which lights corresponded to the car
they were tracking.
In 2008, these findings were supported by another team, who found that the lights could
also come from streetlights or campfires.
You'd think it would be pretty easy to tell whether what you're looking at is a pair
of headlights or an alien spaceship, but the Marfa Lights are tricky because they don't
really look like headlights.
They're often magnified and kind of shimmer.
That comes from a mirage, where light rays bend and displace an image.
Specifically, it's caused by what's known as a superior mirage, where an image appears
above where it should be.
It happens when a layer of warmer air sits on top of cooler air, which is the opposite
of normal -- usually, the lower layers of the atmosphere are warmer because they're
heated by the Earth's surface.
Air at different temperatures has different densities, so it bends light at different
angles.
When light rays pass through a temperature inversion, they can bend in a way that creates
an image above where the object actually is.
And to be clear, when it comes to the Marfa Lights, that object is just a car's headlights
on a lonely road.
Not an alien spaceship.
There are plenty of other stories of the paranormal that are still unexplained — whether because
they can't be replicated, or there isn't enough data about them to come to any conclusions.
But sometimes, all you need are the right questions and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Also, maybe a fencing foil.

Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: B1 - Duration: 11:56.
The driving force for what would become the B1
was Le Pere des Char, General Estienne.
In 1921 he came up with the requirement for a tank of about 13 tons
with the main gun mounted low in the hull.
The thinking behind it was the choice of target, fortifications.
They tended to have firing slits, which were low to the ground
and the thinking was that if you had a low mounted gun
you would have a suitable trajectory for placing a round through the gun slit.
Now what this tells you about the level of expectation for 1920s tank accuracy
is another matter, but that was the thinking.
Other requirements that he had was a 120 horsepower engine,
25 millimeters of armor, and a turret with machine guns.
Now what he had in mind was competition.
He would take various submissions from manufacturers,
he would pick and choose the various different characteristics of the tank
to create one ideal tank which would then be manufactured
by all the various different companies to the same design.
Now, I can't find out what the prize, shall we say, was
for having the most best features but there you go.
Now it turns out that submissions were received from five manufacturers:
FCM, Schneider, Saint-Chamond, Renault and Delaunay-Belleville.
The latter was very quickly rejected,
it was just an FT that got stretched out with the gun mounted low and forwards.
By 1924, however, the first prototypes were submitted
and you got to start seeing, if you look at the old photographs,
something of a family resemblance
between what they had and the Char B as was finally built.
Indeed, what he did was he picked and chose.
He took the general shape of the Renault and the Schneider,
he took the steering, clutch, differential, from the Schneider as well,
he took the tracks and tensioning system from FCM,
and suspension from Saint-Chamond.
He also added a little bit more armor to make it up to four centimeters
and the first wooden mock-up was made in 1926.
Actual construction of the tank though didn't happen until 1936.
The reason for this elongated development process
was a series of disarmament talks which were going on in Geneva at the time.
One of the items under consideration was a ban on vehicles over 20 tons,
which the Tractor 30, as it was now called under the management of Renault,
would completely blow past. The back-up plan was the D2.
If the Geneva disarmament talks came to a conclusion on the matter,
the D2 would be built, if not, the backstop was the B1.
There was an additional change mandated
when somebody came up with the thought
that perhaps this tank ought to be capable of fighting enemy tanks,
and the machine guns just were not going to cut it.
The solution was to create a new turret and to mount a 47-millimeter into it.
The final vehicle, the B1, was actually only intended to be an interim vehicle
with the B2 and B3 subsequently planned,
however with the rearmament of Germany going on at the time,
it was deemed advisable to simply go with what they had ready to produce,
and as a result the only modification of any note was the B1 Bis.
This added extra armor to a grand total of about 6 centimeters
and this is the vehicle behind me in Saumur.
And this is all a very long-winded way of saying
that this is the vehicle that we're going to take a tour around
if you didn't figure it out from the title card on the video.
The overall shape of the tank is almost reminiscent
of a British World War One design
with the tracks going all the way over the top of the body.
The body itself is riveted
and that means that you can see simply enough the thickness of the plate,
the six centimeters, which is reasonably well sloped for the time.
You can also see a prominent driver's housing
and this is actually somewhat necessary
because although the tank has huge bulk, it's actually not all that big.
The idlers are prominent and exposed but that does at least mean
that there's a good obstacle crossing capability
because the track is so far in front of everything else, to include the gun.
Just inboard there is the armored housing for the headlight
and inboard of that is the builders plate for Renault.
Underneath the builder's plate is the vehicles hull number, in this case 81.
Finally on the right hand side is a 7.5 centimeter gun, it is fixed in train,
and you will see that the body of the vehicle
is actually pulled back underneath the gun, presumably
because there is no requirement for anybody's legs to be there,
although they do retain a strengthening bar going across the front.
As you come around to the side of the tank, you can see the overall bulk.
It's a long tank, it'll cross a 2.75 metre gap.
Track tension is done, as ever, at the front of the tank with the idler.
There is an unbolted latch,
you remove back the armor plate and the bolt is visible.
This is the worm gear pretty similar to the original design on the FCM
and you simply rotate the bolt.
This will then screw the idler forwards and backwards to adjust the tension.
Starting at the front just after the track tension port,
there is the only mud chute which is on the vehicle,
and it is at the end of the return run.
The vehicle return itself is simple, it is skids only,
friction and noise doubtless the result, but there are no return rollers.
The links, they are sort of an old-school type link,
almost like from the Holt bulldozer, and there are 63 per side.
There are no center guides or guide horns,
the wheels are kept on by a flange on each side of the wheel.
The wheels themselves are paired, each pair is mounted on a bogie pair,
and things go on from there.
Down at the bottom is the access port for maintaining the bogies.
As you move further back, you're going to see the rather large radiator grille.
Now, the radiator grille is only mounted on the left-hand side,
this is not a symmetrically designed tank. It was originally considered
that perhaps this is going to be a weak point for enemy fire
but in the limited amount of after-action assessments that were done
there was no indication that this was the case.
Something which you may not have noticed,
certainly I didn't until I'm physically in front of the tank,
are these little marker lights.
There's one at the back and one at the front of the tank.
They're white at the front, red at the back, and they're very simply going
to show you the size of the vehicle in the dark so you don't run into it.
Finally, behind the armored housing
you're going to see the very large sprocket wheel,
unarmored two pairs of teeth per side.
If you compare the other side of the tank,
the asymmetric design is obvious with the lack of the grill
and instead the presence of a large heavy door,
and you can see how thick the metal is on the side here,
so this will also perform an interesting function
if you have to get out under fire, you have a significant amount of protection.
The back of the tank is quite sparse. You see the gently sloping rear
upon which you'll find the exhaust pipes. The design of the exhaust pipe
actually changed a fair bit over the production run of the vehicle.
The vertical back holds the hooks, which will hold the towing chain,
clevises of course will go here,
and on the earliest Char B1s you would see a tow hook down here for a trailer.
Now, the four hundred litres of fuel that the tank carried
would get the tank about two hundred kilometres
but this was considered to be insufficient. The idea behind the trailer was
that it will carry an additional eight hundred liters of fuel
plus maybe 50 litres of castor oil (I'll come back to that),
a hundred litres of other oils, a couple of spare track links, spare parts.
This was really something of an unmitigated disaster
and by 1936 they abandoned the idea.
However the idea of a trailer would continue to come and go
over the following decades with different countries
and about the same level of success. Go look up the rota-trailer for example.
Nothing else here's, let's have a quick look up top here at the steering system.
Now again, the tank is not symmetrical. Underneath me is a passageway
behind the engine to the steering system and gearbox.
This hatch back here can only be opened from within the tank
and unfortunately it's spring loaded, it seems, to the wrong direction.
You can see the handle, uses a sort of a toothed cog to keep it in place.
Now, underneath with the 5-speed gearbox is the Naeder steering system.
It's a hydraulic system, uses castor oil.
The reason for this unusual system is the fact that you had the fixed-train gun,
you had to steer the entire tank precisely to aim the gun.
The hydraulic system used castor oil, not the same sort of castor oil
that you would find, let's say in a pharmacy,
which is a distinction that was lost upon a lot of the crewmen.
They used whatever castor oil they could find, they figured it was all the same,
and the problem is that pharmaceutical castor oil
loses its lubricating qualities after about 80 degrees Celsius.
The end result was that a lot of these tanks broke down
because of the wrong kind of oil, resulting in a reliability reputation,
or unreliability reputation perhaps better said.
Now, the shame of it was that if you use the correct oil,
this was a very reliable system,
not that you would know this to listen to the French government
who were very proud of this thing, they thought it was a great military secret.
So what they did was to discourage other people or other countries
from copying it, was they loudly proclaimed and emphasized
the unreliability problems of the design,
whereas in reality they were quite happy to keep it
and indeed a lot of the principles are still used today in the LeClerc tank.
The engine neck is huge and it's one of the few pre-war vehicles I can think of
where the entire crew can get a bit of kip.
A large part of the real estate however is taken up
by the old, basic jack here on the left. It's huge and you can see
how it's held in place with this little ratchet system here, very basic.
On the other side of the tank,
you're going to see some access ports for the engine,
but it is not the only way of accessing the engine.
Because you have this passageway underneath me,
you can get to the engine from the inside.
That's it for the outside of the tank,
and as ever we'll be back for the inside in part 2.
…going to have 25 millimeters of armor, be sealed against gas…
You ever get those moments where you go completely blank in the head?
It weighed in it over 70 and the 1A…

This Is What Happened To Macy Gray - Duration: 4:20.
Macy Gray's distinctive, raspy voice was all the rage in 1999.
The Grammy-winner burned up the charts with hits such as "I Try" and "Why Didn't You Call
Me," and even made a cameo in the very first Spider-Man movie, but almost as quickly as
she rose to fame, she dropped out of the spotlight.
Here's why you don't hear much about this singer these days, and why she could be poised
for a comeback.
Her follow-ups flopped
Despite broad U.S. acclaim for her 1999 album, On How Life Is, and huge success in the U.K.
with her 2001 follow-up, The Id, Gray's third album, 2005's The Trouble with Being Myself,
was a major commercial disappointment.
Though it fared slightly better across the pond, the BBC said "her quirkiness was initially
endearing" but now "tends toward cartoonishness."
After a falling out with Epic Records, a revamped Gray jumped ship to Universal and followed
up with 2007's Big, which featured collaborations with stars such as Natalie Cole, Justin Timberlake,
and Fergie.
But despite the project's critical acclaim, Gray couldn't match her early commercial success.
When Big proved to be a flop, it seemed like everyone in the industry just walked away
from Gray.
She told the Telegraph in 2010 that artists of that caliber simply stopped calling her
back.
The days of making music with chart-topping acts like Outkast and Carlos Santana appeared
to be over.
Her acting career sputtered
Gray made her debut as a thespian in 2001's Training Day, but starting in 2005, she began
to truly start flexing her acting muscles in a string of small parts in TV and on film,
most notably appearing in two Lee Daniels productions, Shadowboxer in 2005 and The Paperboy
in 2012, as well as joining an award-winning ensemble in 2010 in Tyler Perry's For Colored
Girls.
But Gray has yet to land a major starring role or a promising breakout part.
Speaking to the Guardian in 2012, she looked on the bright side, saying acting is "a challenge
for me.
I'm not close to mastering it, so I enjoy getting better at it.
It's a good exercise for my brain and it's refreshing."
Her "Dancing" gig fizzled
The hit reality TV dancing competition Dancing with the Stars is often the go-to show for
former or fading celebrities in need of a serious publicity boost.
Gray cut a rug on the show in 2009, but despite a fun and sultry performance of Aretha Franklin's
"(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman," she was eliminated in the first round.
"It's a cool set.
All the people that work here are really nice.
It was fun.
It was a fun one week."
Parting ways so quickly meant Gray missed out on the opportunity to make the kind of
impression that might have helped revive her career, or at least introduce her to a new
generation of fans.
Her drug use spiraled
As her music career went south, Gray eventually admitted that her drug use was part of the
problem.
She told the Telegraph that, quote, "indulging in excess of everything" started to catch
up with her.
On an episode of Oprah's Where Are They Now?, Gray said she was out of control, but her
vanity reeled her back in ...
"I looked in the mirror one day and I had bags and my skin was doing weird stuff, and
that really scared me.
I swear to God I quit.
I quit that day."
Turning it around
Gray admitted she went through "a mid-career identity crisis," telling the Telegraph,
"A lot of people were in my ear telling me: this is cool and this is not cool.
They didn't know what they were talking about ..."
Gray says she was embarrassed by some of the personas she'd tried on over the years, sporting
wigs and crazy suits, and by the different directions her record company was pushing
her, leaving her feeling "brainwashed."
As she struggled to find a core identity as a musician, audiences moved on.
But everyone loves a comeback story, and Gray is poised for the climb.
On her 2016 album, Stripped, she branched off into jazz for the first time.
The project was critically acclaimed and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard jazz charts.
There's still much love among critics and fans for Gray's unique sound and vision, and
in February 2017, she was praised for the powerful message and soulful stylings of her
single "White Man," the video for which The Fader called a "moving portrayal of race in
America."
She told Larry King in April 2017 that her new material is a welcome departure ...
"Yeah, it's definitely Macy Gray, but it's, uh, it's, it's wild, it's, uh, you haven't
heard what we're doing yet.
It's very fresh."

Activision EVIL Microtransaction that will destroy games like Destiny, Overwatch and Call of Duty! - Duration: 8:26.
Activision has been the leading video game publisher already for a long time, and you
probably have played a game before that was published by Activision.
Some popular games from Activision is Doom, Tony Hawk Pro Skater , Call of Duty , Overwatch
and of course Destiny.
And Activision has earned a lot of money with publishing these games, for a matter a fact,
Activision (after the merger it is called Activision Blizzard, and for now I will refer
it as activision) revenue was 6.6 billion dollars in 2016 , and this is up by 42% if
you compare it with the 2015 earnings of 4.6 billion dollars.
And a big chunk of the revenue is coming from in game content purchases like overwatch loot
boxes , call of duty supply drops and of course from Destiny Eververse.
This source of revenue has grown 125% year over year, to put this into perspective a
typical normal company will be happy if they can get a 5% revenue growth year over year,
so a 125 percentage growth is a number that can not be ignored by investors.
And investors will be looking at ways on how to accelerate this growth in revenue.
And as a result Activision will be pressured to make sure their shareholders are happy
by finding ways on how to do this.
And Activision might have found a way on how to increase these ingame purchases also known
as microtransactions ,that will fundamentally change how micro transaction works.
Recently a controversial patent has been approved and granted to Activision.
The patent's description explains that it's a system and method to encourage players to
spend money on microtransactions.
And they are not hiding the fact that the purpose of this patent is created to influence
players to spend more money on in game content.
The following description is coming from the patent itself which i will link below where
you can find the full description and explanation of the patent online.
The system may include a microtransaction arrange matches to influence game-related
purchases
Let's have a breakdown of the patent and see how this works.
The patent makes up of 3 engines: The Analytics and feedback engine,
The Pipeline Engine And the Microtransaction engine.
The Analytics and Feedback engine analyses player's data in order to create a profile
of the player based on how you play a game, and put you in scenario's where you will be
most effective with that specific profile.
For example the system can identify that you like to play as a sniper, and it can put you
in matches where snipers are more effective.
For example it can place you on a map where the lanes are more suitable for sniping, and
playing against players that have a more short range build basically making you the more
advantage player with your long range loadout.
So the Analytics and Feedback engine, maps their players with certain data and can deploy
them in situations that benefits them.
This engine is reinforced with the Pipeline Engine, which has the following description.
The pipeline engine may generate one or more soft reservations for players based on a match
score, game profile, player profile or any other information.
So what this basically does is it can queue you up and reserve spots in the queue for
your next match based on certain information coming from the Analytics and Feedback engine.
In the patent it gives you an example where the engine can identify that your two friends
match is ending soon and it can then reserve a spot for you in the next match so that you
can play together with your friends.
I can definitely see the benefits of this, I have never been matched up with my friends
in a match randomly without being invited to a fireteam.
If you want to play with friends you have to set up a fire team because the chances
are very low that you just bump into each other randomly in a match, strike or public
events.
With this engine it can create the opportunity for you and your friends to bond more when
you spend more time together completing events in the game.
The final and most controversial part of the patent is the Microtransaction engine, which
according to the description may analyze various items used by marquee players and, if the
items are being promoted for sale, match the marquee player with another player (e.g.,
a junior player) that does not use or own the items.
Similarly, the microtransaction engine may identify items to be promoted, identify marquee
players that use those items, and match the marquee players with other players who do
not use those items.
In this manner, the microtransaction engine may leverage the matchmaking abilities described
herein to influence purchase decisions for game-related purchases.
So there are two parts with this microtransaction engine.
You can be match up with someone else that does particularly well with for example a
weapon, which might influence you to go and buy that weapon.
On the other hand once you have bought a specific item lets say again you bought a weapon, in
that case the microtransaction engine will put you in situations where you will benefit
a lot from the item your purchased, in order to make you feel good about the item you bought,
which will encourage you to buy additional items in the game.
This is the part of the patent where I have problems with.
To a certain extent I believe that the Analytics and Feedback engine and the pipeline engine
can actually help you enjoy the game more.
The analytics and feedback engine can identify that I for example like PVP Control and match
me up with more of those matches, and the pipeline engine can help me match up with
players that I like to play with.
However I don't like the game to tell me what I should do, as a gamer I bought the game
and I want to decide what kind of activities I am playing and not an algorithm influencing
what I should play.
For example with Destiny 2 I like to play control in the quick play mode which can consist
of control but also other modes, and although it would be great if the engine can match
me up more with Control and not supremacy or clash in the same playlist.
The better solution is actually for me to have a choice on only playing control, or
only playing clash or supremacy.
The pipeline engine is great if you want to play with friends, but sometime gaming is
kind of a ME time, and here I also want a choice to choose to play with friends or not.
And CHOICE is lacking, if there is a microtransaction engine in place that is trying to influence
you by cherry picking what kind of gaming experience you should have, and all of this
is behind the screens because you won't know when this system is activated.
And that makes the whole gaming experience obsolete if you are not sure whether that
experience you just had was a genuine one that was a result because of your own skills,
or whether it was the microtransaction engine that has influenced the game.
It is like Big Brother is watching every move you make in the game, that would fundamentally
destroy your gaming experience.
To be fair Activision did clarify in a statement that this patent was only "exploratory", and
such a system has not been used in any games.
Well this statement is technically correct it has not been used in any games YET, because
the patent just got approved, it would definitely take several years before Activision develops
a system that can integrate this with any games.
And remember what I said in the beginning that microtransactions has grown 125% year
over year.
Whether we like it or not Microtransactions are a substantial revenue driver for game
developers and the unfortunate truth is that unless we stop buying ingame content microtransactions
will be there to stay.
At the moment there is a general consensus that microtransactions are ok as long as it
is cosmetic and it does not affect the way you play the game.
But with patents like these we as gamers have to be careful and make sure that microtransaction
will not go towards that direction and squeeze every penny out of the players.
Because if it does it will not only destroy our gaming experience but also the games that
we love as well.
So if you are watching this video, please share this with your friends and your fellow
gamers and lets make some noise that we as gamers will not allow this to happen to our
beloved games.
Thank you all so much for watching this video.
I really enjoyed doing the research and provide you all the information about this subject
in a compact video.
I hope you enjoyed watching this and have a better understanding of this patent.
A positive like rating is appreciated.

And as always I will see you in the next video guardians.

Can You Overdose from Too Much Protein? | The Doctors - Duration: 2:24.
(applause)
- It really is about moderation.
We always say a healthy diet consists
of exercise, so very important for our health,
but sometimes too much of a good thing can harm you.
Could it even prove deadly, though?
Get this, a 25-year-old female body builder recently died
from having too much protein?
We all think of protein is good for us, right?
According to Perth Sunday Times,
the female body builder died from complications
from taking body building supplements
that contained too much protein for her body
to process because of an underlying condition
that she had.
This is really hard to wrap our heads around,
because in addition, this country does have a fascination
with protein, and it seems like,
personally, I don't take protein supplements,
I feel like I get plenty from food.
But I know a lot of people
who protein supplementation, protein supplementation.
- Huge. I'd say it's so important protein has
to be a part of every meal to start the morning
with some protein, - Yes.
- you have to do it or you're gonna blow up or something.
You're absolutely right.
- Yes. I remember when I was in school,
I went on a date with a really nutty guy,
and on the first date, - Uh-oh.
he was like how much protein are you eating.
(laughing)
He sized me up and he said, given your weight,
you should be having six to eight chicken breasts a day.
Obviously, too much.
But at the time, it does sounds--
- Did he get a second date?
- Hell, no.
(laughing)
(audience applause)
- The key here is this particular woman
had something known as urea cycle disorder,
so she could not properly break down the protein,
had a build-up of ammonia in her system,
which is so unique and so rare.
Right now everyone's thinking, okay,
I can't eat anything and be safe,
but this is a very unique scenario.
- It's one in 8,000 people has this disorder.
- She was taking, by all accounts taking a lot
of this supplement.
I do think any time you're taking supplements,
you have to ask yourself, is this too much
of a good thing.
It's just like everything in life, moderation is key.
- Right.
- The great irony is every snack or meal you have
can have a little bit of protein in it,
and in this case, I'm talking about natural protein.
It does, it helps satisfy your hunger,
it's obviously essential for building muscle
and every other process in the body.
Moderation is key.
Yes, we are very boring here at The Doctors.
(laughing)

Where To Seek Help: Parenting a Child with a Disability - Duration: 4:06.
Kia ora tātou my name is Marg Slater and I have a son Jack who is 18.
I'm Mandy and I am mother to six-year-old Maia.
I'm Kat and I'm mum to four-year-old Ella.
Hey I'm Sonia and I am mum to eight-year-old twin girls Thandie and Inez.
It's a full-time job actually dealing with the services around looking after
and making sure your child is getting what is actually out there,
nothing even more than that, just what is available to your child.
The funding aspect is really difficult because no matter what you have,
you always need more for them
and it's not a want or desire, you need more for them.
There's not enough funding to go around and then even the applications to get that funding
you have to put your child in this really negative light and
I'm down on it for weeks, I feel really depressed and I hope that she never sees
these applications that I've written her, about her in that way
and that's what's wrong with it.
He had an audio-graph, you know a scientific document,
saying yes he reached the criteria,
we still had an 11-week process, 28 people touching his application,
one of them met him, it's a phenomenally inefficient system around the process.
We had two years in from the first appointment I made with the GP
who listened to me and said,
'Hmm not sure what to do about that, but let me text you.'
Didn't get a text (laughs).
So many psychologists, OTs, psychiatrists, paediatricians, OTs,
everyone, they all admit that the system is just so fragmented.
You're in a really difficult situation and you're scared and you can't even
look into the future because it's just too hard sometimes, I'm still like that,
you got to live day by day but as your child gets older you have to
look into the future,
you've got to think, well what if I got run over by a bus?
What's gonna happen to my son? I've got to put those safety nets in place.
You do need to be your child's advocate, absolutely and talking to other mums
who've got children with disabilities often something will just come up in conversation,
oh did you know about that? No, I don't know about that, did you know about this?
And it's frustrating because you expect to be told all these things by your paediatrician, by your doctor.
Asking questions, just ask, ask, ask,
if you've got a problem with something, whether it's a behavioural issue, seek out help.
My advice to parents is, and this is hard because I know that a lot of very tired parents
will be hearing this that have just been fighting so hard, but
you've got to keep fighting and find people that can be advocates for you.
Bringing someone else in that's an authority, that is on your team makes a
world of difference, if you can avoid it try not to fight alone,
it's not sustainable.
Honestly the best places I've found help is on Facebook,
is groups and talking to other parents.
Look for a community of parents who have been or
are going through what you're going through because they will have tried
various things, they have so much knowledge, we spend our nights Googling
and you know cross-referencing different procedures and you will save so much
time and energy because we've made a lot of the mistakes for you.
Also to say you are not alone,
look I have been deep in crisis and the benefit of knowing
you're not going crazy and you're not the only family going through this is immense.
Support and communities, that's what's going to get you through.

10 Warning Signs The Universe Sends When You're On The Wrong Path - Duration: 4:33.
10 Warning Signs The Universe Sends When You're On The Wrong Path
Many people believe that things "just happen" to them, but as we connect more closely to our intuition we are shown
that everything that happens to us is of our own creation.
We may not be fully aware of what we are creating moment to moment, but fortunately the universe provides us with many
signs to let us know when we are on the right path, and (more importantly) when we are on the wrong path.
This article will focus on the warning signs from the universe.
In general, warning signs from the universe occur in the form of unwanted circumstances and events.
These signs are an indication that your energy is headed towards (or currently stuck in) a low vibrational frequency.
Your thoughts, feelings and actions are focused negatively, and this is creating unwanted circumstances.
Conversely, when your thoughts, feelings and actions are moving at a high vibrational frequency,
life will line up perfectly.
You will have excellent timing and good luck all day long.
This is why it's so important to raise your vibration by consciously choosing positive thoughts.
Although we have the ability to resonate at a high vibrational frequency,
it is challenging for us to stay elevated all of the time.
This is because our souls are stuck here on Earth in a physical dimension that is much denser and slower than the
higher, ethereal dimensions.
The simple makeup of our planet and bodies is composed of much lower vibrational energy than that of our souls.
As a result, we will likely bump up against unwanted circumstances from time to time, but that's ok.
As long as we heed these warning signs (without allowing our egos to fixate on them!) we can get back on track quickly.
As you move through your day, it's a good idea to take note of the warning signs from the universe.
Here are a few examples of signs to be mindful of:
WARNING SIGNS FROM THE UNIVERSE
Stubbing your toe
Getting stuck in traffic
Receiving dirty looks or snide remarks from others
Getting injured
Unexpected expenses or bills in the mail
Uneasy gut feelings
Arguments with your loved ones
Getting sick
Headaches
Losing or breaking your possessions
Unpleasant odors, sounds or tastes
Each of these signs is an indication that you need to center yourself and adjust your frequency.
When you encounter one of these warning signs, please stop!
Do not keep working on that task, or having that conversation, or obsessing over that thought that you were just having
because it is not taking you where you want to be.
Instead, take a deep breath, step away from the situation, or even take a minute to meditate if you are able to.
If you catch these warning signs quickly and respond immediately, the simple act of centering yourself will stop the
negative momentum.
As a final note, please try not to obsess over a warning sign.
Talking about it, thinking about it and replaying it your mind is a surefire way to lower your vibrational frequency.
Take it for what it is, a simple "stop sign," and move on from it.
Please take care of your vibration: only give attention to the thoughts,
feelings and actions that resonate with your soul's natural frequency.

The Second World War: Their Finest Hour - Duration: 52:45.
- [Winston Churchill] Upon this battle depends
the survival of Christian civilization.
Upon it depends our own British life
and the long continuity of our institutions
and our empire.
The whole fury and might of the enemy
must very soon be turned on us.
Hitler knows that he will have to break us
in this island or lose the war.
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free
and the life of the world may move forward
into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail then the whole world,
including the United States, including all that we have
known and cared for, will sink into the abyss
of a new dark age, made more sinister and perhaps
more protracted, by the likes of perverted science.
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties
and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire
and its Commonwealth lost for a thousand years,
men will still say, this was their finest hour.
We must take September 15 as the culminating
date of the air battle.
On this day, the Luftwaffe, after two heavy attacks
on the 14th, made its greatest concentrated effort
in a resumed daylight attack on London.
It was one of the decisive battles of the war
and like the Battle of Waterloo, it was on a Sunday.
I was at Chequers.
I had already on several occasions
visited the headquarters of Number 11 Fighter Group
in order to witness the conduct of an air battle.
Well, not much had happened.
However, the weather on this day seemed suitable
to the enemy and accordingly I drove over
to Uxbridge and arrived at the group headquarters.
Number 11 Group comprised no fewer than 25 squadrons
covering the whole of Essex, Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire
and all the approaches across from London.
Air Vice Marshal Park had for six months commanded
this group, on which our fate largely depended.
From the beginning of Dunkirk all the daylight action
in the south of England had already been
conducted by him and all the arrangements
and apparatus have been brought to the highest perfection.
My wife and I were taken down to the bombproof operations
room 50 feet below ground.
All the efficacy of the Hurricanes and Spitfires
would have been fruitless but for this system
of underground control systems and telephone cables,
which had been devised and built before the war
by the arm industry under Dowding's advice and impulse.
Lasting credit is due to all concerned.
In the south of England, there were, at this time,
Number 11 Group Headquarters and six subordinate
fighter station centers.
All these were, as has been described,
under heavy stress.
The supreme command would exercise from the fighter
headquarters at Stanmore, but the actual handling
of the direction of the squadrons was wisely
left to Number 11 Group, which controlled the units
through its fighter stations located in each county.
The Group operations room was like a small theater,
about 60 feet across and with two storeys.
We took our seats in the dress circle.
Below us was the large-scale map table,
around which perhaps 20 highly trained young men
and women with telephone assistance were assembled.
Opposite to us covering the entire wall,
where the theater curtain would be, was a gigantic
blackboard, divided into six columns with electric
bulbs for the six fighter stations.
Each of their squadrons having a sub-column of its own
and also divided by lateral lines.
Thus the lowest row of bulbs showed, as they
were lighted, the squadrons that were standing by
at two minutes' notice.
The next row those at readiness, five minutes.
Then, at available, 20 minutes.
Then those we should take north.
The next row those which had reported having seen
the enemy, the next with red lights,
those which were in action
and the top row, those which were returning home.
On the lefthand side, in a kind of glass stage box,
were the four or five officers whose duty it was
to weigh and measure the information received
from our observer corp, which at this time
numbered upwards of 50,000 men, women, and youths.
Radar was still in its infancy,
but it gave warning of raids approaching our coast
and the observers with field glasses and
portable telephones were our main source
of information about radars flying over land.
Thousands of messages were therefore received
during inaction.
Several roomfulls of experienced people in other parts of
the underground headquarters shifted them
with great rapidity and transmitted
the results from minute to minute
directly to the plotters seated around the table,
on the floor, and to the officer supervising
from the glass stage box.
On the right was another glass stage box
containing army officers who reported the actions
of our anti-aircraft batteries,
which at this time in the command
there were 200.
At night, it was of vital importance
to stop these batteries firing over certain areas
in which our fighters would be closing
with the enemy.
I was not unacquainted with the general outlines
of this system, having had it explained to me
a year before the war by Dowding
when I visited him at Stanmore.
It had been shaped and refined in constant action
and all was now fused together
into a most elaborate instrument of war,
the likes of which existed nowhere in the world.
I don't know, said Park, if we went down,
whether a raid will happen today.
At present all is quiet.
However, after a quarter of an hour, the raid
plotters began to move about.
An attack of 40 plus was reported to be coming
from the German stations in the Dieppe area.
The bulbs along the bottom of the wall of the display panel
began to go as various squadrons came to stand by.
Then in quick succession 20 plus, 40 plus signals
were received.
And in another ten minutes it was evident
that a serious battle impended.
On both sides the air began to fill.
One after another, signals came in,
40 plus, 60 plus, 70 and 80 plus.
And on the floor table below us, the movement
of all the waves of attack was marked by
pushing disks forward from minute to minute
along different lines of approach.
Along the backboard facing us, the rising lights
showed our fighter squadrons
getting into the air.
There were only four or five left at readiness.
These air battles on which so much depended
lasted a little more than an hour
from the first encounter.
The enemy had ample strength to send out
new waves of attack.
And our squadron having gone all out
to gain the upper air would have to refuel
after 70 or 80 minutes or land to rearm
after a five-minute engagement.
It was at this moment of refueling
or rearming, the enemy were able to arrive
with fresh unchallenged squadrons.
Some of our fighters could be destroyed on the ground.
It was therefore one of our principal objects
to direct our squadrons so as not to have
too many on the ground refueling or rearming
simultaneously during daylight.
Presently the red bulbs showed that the majority
of our squadrons were engaged.
A subdued hum arose from the floor
where the busy plotters pushed their disks
to and fro in accordance with the swiftly
changing situation.
The air marshal himself walked up and down
behind, watching with a vigilant eye,
every move in the game, supervising his
junior executive hand and only occasionally
intervening with some decisive order, usually
to reinforce a threatened area.
In a little while all our squadrons were fighting
and some had already begun to return to fuel.
All were in the air.
The lower line of bulbs was out.
There was not one squadron left in reserve.
At this moment, Park spoke to Dowding at Stanmore,
asking for three squadrons from Number 12 Group
to put at his disposal, in case of another
major attack.
Fighting squadrons were rearming and refueling.
This was done.
They were especially needed to cover London
and our fighter air drones because Number 11
Group had already shot their bolt.
The young officer to whom this seemed
a matter of routine continued to give his orders
in accordance with the general direction
of his group commander
in a calm, low monotone.
And the three reinforcing squadrons were
soon absorbed.
I became conscious of the anxiety
of the commander
who now stood still behind his subordinate's chair.
Hitherto I had watched in silence.
I now asked, what other reserves have we?
"There are none," said Air Vice Marshall Park.
He did an account, which he wrote about afterwards,
he said, "At this, I looked grave, well I might.
"What losses should we not suffer
"if our refueling planes were caught on the ground
"by further raids of 40 plus or 50 plus?
"The odds were great, our margins small,
"the stakes infinite."
Another five minutes passed and most of our
squadrons had now descended to refuel.
In many cases, our resources would not
give them overhead protection.
Then it appeared that the enemy were going home.
The shifting of the disks on the table below
showed a continuous eastward movement
of the German bombers and fighters.
No new attack appeared.
In another 10 minutes, the action were ended.
We climbed again the stairways which led
to the surface and almost as we emerged
the all-clear sounded.
"We are all very glad to have seen this," said Park.
"Of course, during the last 20 minutes we were so
"choked with information we couldn't handle it.
"This shows you the limitation of our present resources.
"They have been strained far beyond their limits today."
I asked whether any results had come to hand
and remarked that the attack appeared to have been
repelled satisfactorily.
Park replied that he was not satisfied
that we had intercepted as many raiders
as he had hoped we should.
It was evident that the enemy had everywhere
pierced our defenses.
Many scores of German bombers with their
fighter escort had been reported over London.
About a dozen had been brought down
while I was below.
But no picture of the results of the battle
or of the damage or losses could be obtained.
It was 4:30 p.m. before I got back
to Chequers.
And I immediately went to bed
for my afternoon sleep.
I must have been tired by the drama
of Number 11 Group
for I did not wake 'til 8:00.
When I rang John Martin, my principal
private secretary came in with the
evening budget of news from all over the world.
It was repellent, this had gone wrong here,
that had been delayed there, an unsatisfactory
answer had been received from so-and-so.
There had been bad sinkings in the Atlantic.
"However," said Martin as he finished his account,
"all is redeemed by the air.
"We've shot down 183 for a loss of under 40."
Although post-war information has shown
that the enemies lotted on this day
were only 56, September 15 was the crack
through the Battle of Britain.
That same night our bomber command attacked
in strength the shipping in the ports from Boulaine
to Antwerp.
At Antwerp particularly heavy losses
were inflicted.
On September 17, as we now know, the Fuhrer
decided to postpone Sea Lion indefinitely
and September 15 may stand as the date
of its demise.
(grim music)
- [Narrator] It was the turning point.
The Germans had not achieved their aim.
Hitler therefore postponed Operation Sea Lion
indefinitely, ordered his troops out of
the defensive, and turned his attention eastwards.
The battle, though, dragged on mainly
in the form of German Lightning Fighter raids
until the end of October.
It included two attacks by Italian aircraft.
Mussolini wanted to display solidarity
with his northern ally.
These attacks proved disastrous for the Italians
with 13 of their small contingent of aircraft
shot down on the second occasion.
By now, though, the British were suffering
even worse punishment.
The German bombers had suffered too heavily by day
and were concentrating their attacks
during the hours of darkness,
made even longer as winter drew on.
Night after night, German bombers pounded
British cities.
London was attacked every single night
by one after the 12th of November.
The siren sounds that Londoners had heard
in daylight from time to time during August
was now to become part of the daily
and nightly life of every child, woman, and man
in the capital.
For more than 100 consecutive nights,
along with the drone of enemy bombers,
anti-aircraft fire and the whistle and crunch
of high-explosive bombs, dropped in their thousands.
For the Luftwaffe, there was no pretense
of striking only military targets.
To their surprise and the surprise of neutral
nations, sometimes the surprise of Londoners
themselves, they steeled themselves to it.
The ARP Air Raid Precaution wardens
stayed at their posts.
Doctors and nurses worked on throughout
the raids.
Rescue squads carried out their often
gruesome tasks, night and day.
The bombs fell indiscriminately on
hundreds of thousands of homes.
They fell on shops, on hospitals, on churches,
even after the all-clear.
No period of even momentary safety
was guaranteed.
For the Nazis also dropped tons of delayed
action bombs which might explode days later,
concealed under cover of unmoved rubble
and through which rescue services searched
for trapped citizens.
Day and night, the fire service battled
with countless fires.
- Hostile raid, sir.
(alarm rings)
- [Narrator] The Nazi military policy now
was the destruction of the capital,
mostly at night.
The RAF couldn't be of much help at night.
It all rested on the efficiency of search lights
and the accuracy of anti-air fire.
(people sing)
(men chat)
- [Narrator] The German bombers at first concentrated
particularly on London's docklands and left
the East End districts a roaring inferno,
but still the citizens stood up to it
night after night.
They burrowed underground, wondering whether
they would find their homes still standing
in the morning.
Morning after morning, they emerged into the dawn
to find out the answer.
The Battle of Britain for these months
had now become the battle of London.
(grim music)
In spite of the bombs, the fires, the personal suffering,
and losses, they got to their desks, to their
work benches, to spend another 10 hours, 12 or more,
working, working, working.
There were times when they wondered whether
they'd endure much more.
But some things gave them hope.
Britain was starting to retaliate.
(men and women talk)
- Well, chaps, this is your target for tonight,
the submarine and ship building yards at Bremen.
It's a vitally important target.
- [Narrator] British bombers were taking the fight
back to Germany.
This time with bomb loads, not the propaganda
leaflets they had dropped over one year before.
- Hello rear gunner, can you hear me?
- I'm okay, skipper.
- [Pilot] Hello, operator.
Everything okay?
- Well, it seems to be all here, sir.
- Goering had promised the German people
that no enemy aircraft would ever bomb
a German city, but the people of Bremen
and later on the cities of the Ruhr
had good reason not to take his promises seriously.
(alarm sounds)
- Stand by, I'm going in at a glide.
- [Operator] Steady.
I got the bullseye with the last one.
- [Narrator] Hitler proclaimed the RAF
as night gangsters and for their crime
he would react on British cities a thousand fold revenge.
The first target was to be the city of Coventry.
On the night of the 14th of November, a million
pounds of bombs were hurled on the city
and gave the English language a new word,
the city was coventrated.
Between dusk that night and the following dawn,
it was bombed flatter and more heavily
than Rotterdam or Warsaw.
- [Radio Announcer] The king has been to see
how the people of Coventry were carrying on
after their terrible ordeal.
Now only did he find that their spirit was magnificent
and that everything possible was being done
to alleviate suffering,
but it was also quite evident that his five-hour tour
accompanied by Mr. Herbert Morrison had greatly
encouraged them.
This was the cathedral.
The city having been mercilessly bombed
throughout a whole night without regard
to military targets, now presents a grim appearance
of devastation.
(sad music)
The cathedral spire and the font remain.
The rest is rubble.
But the all that the cathedral represented
and the spirit of this centuries-old city
lives on.
The city of Coventry mourned its air-raid victims
when nearly thousands of people attended the first
funeral service.
172 of Coventry's dead were being buried
in a common grave, yet while even the last rites
were being performed, an air battle was taking place
high above the cemetery.
Even while Coventry mourns her dead,
the Nazi came to renew his terror.
In one common bond of sympathy and resolution,
the whole country will carry on the fight
'til Nazism is destroyed forever.
- [Narrator] The incessant raids on Britain
by the Luftwaffe devastated the infrastructure
of cities, towns, ports, and manufacturing bases,
not to mention countless lives.
But what they failed to destroy was the morale
and the spirit of the British people.
The Blitz was failing for four reasons.
One, being the heroism of the REF.
The second being the fact that the local authorities
all had well-organized and well-trained civil defense
and rescue systems in operation.
There was a total chain of command
with well-tried equipment in each city and district.
The third reason was the fact that the Luftwaffe
had used scatter bombs over most of the targets,
thus by spreading the damage and loss
this strategy tended to equalize and broaden
the suffering throughout the community,
who were, as a result, more closely linked together
in their determination to resist.
The fourth reason is a culmination of the other three.
A well-trained and organized population, enormously
encouraged and heartened by the RAF,
infuriated and hardened by suffering
and daily visited by its leaders,
from the king and Churchill, adjusted itself
to the bombing situation with extraordinary calm
and courage.
Wardens, firemen, rescue workers, salvage teams,
repair gangs, bomb disposal squads, ambulance drivers,
doctors, nurses, factory workers, and housewives
all were working together,
cheating the Luftwaffe of its victory.
With water pipes fractured and supplies short,
they queued in an orderly manner, patiently waiting
to fill their buckets.
There was a complete air of calm
and, for most, life was simply a routine
of making do as best they could.
Neighbors would work alongside each other,
salvaging what few possessions were left
after a night's raid.
The daily array of ARP wardens, police, firemen,
passing volunteers, and servicemen, frantically
digging, often with bare hands and with the chaos
of disintegrating buildings, to rescue survivors,
their pets, and belongings became in every sense
dreadfully familiar.
The Luftwaffe flew over 12,000 night sorties
during this period of the Blitz.
And the terror which the people had to face
was daunting and dreadful.
Threatened so starkly from the sky,
the people soon began to live like moles,
scurrying underground into the safety of the shelters
every night, only to emerge next morning
to yet another scene of devastation.
For London, September 7, 1940
marked the first day of the terrible months to come,
of over 100 consecutive nights of aerial bombardment.
As their nightly raids went on, through the autumn
into the winter, the terror and horror became
more and more familiar.
Many people simply went about their business,
not even bothering to go down
to the shelters at night.
This was Britain in its darkest hour.
Winston Churchill in his dogged resolve to keep
the nation's spirits high would visit almost daily
one or more of the badly damaged areas.
On the morning of the 14th of November,
Churchill was on his way to his Oxford country home
having been to Neville Chamberlain's funeral
who had died three days previously.
He was alerted to the fact that a big raid
was imminent for that night.
He immediately asked his driver to turn around
and take him back to London.
He was not going to spend the night peacefully,
he told his private secretary,
while the people of London were under heavy attack.
The target for that night was not in fact London.
It was Coventry.
Because of the relatively small size of Coventry,
the shock of the raid was that much stronger.
But although the damage caused was immense,
the Germans had once again made a strategic mistake.
For if they had wanted to destroy Coventry completely,
which was their plan, they should have returned
again the next night,
but they did not.
Thus the city's vital war industry was
able to recover.
In the first half of September, 2,000 civilians were killed
and about 8,000 wounded,
80% of the casualties being in London.
From then on, the toll rose steadily.
In the third week of September, 1,500 civilians
had been killed,
1,200 of them in London.
By the end of the month, the toll would have
risen to almost 7,000 dead.
In the months of October and November, this toll
rose dramatically higher still.
Yet still the spirit of the people
wasn't broken.
(grim music)
With merchant shipping losses still running high
in the Atlantic,
the British people were subjected to further hardships
when strict food rationing was introduced.
This also covered other essentials like clothes.
The attacks from the air also made it seem as though
the whole British infrastructure was being destroyed.
Seemingly isolated, there appeared to be little
to stop bruised and battered Britain
from going under.
The Luftwaffe Blitz on Britain during the
grim autumn and winter of 1940-41
had been watched with awe by neutral states.
Neutral observers marveled at the way that
the country was absorbing such terrible punishment,
but many doubted that Britain could hold on indefinitely.
Nowhere was the battle was watched with more concern
than in the United States of America,
the most significant of the neutrals and the one
most closely bound to Britain through a common language
and the antecedents of many of her citizens.
Churchill knew full-well that if Hitler was
to be beaten, Britain would need the help
of the United States.
Many Americans, as they had done in World War I,
did actually volunteer to fight for the British.
Seven US pilots fought in the Battle of Britain.
They helped to form the RAF's Eagle Squadron.
It was, however, the resilience and bravery
of the British people which began to catch
the American imagination.
In particular, it was the broadcasts by the CBS
London correspondent, Ed Murrow, on the Blitz,
which increased public sympathy.
- [Edward Murrow] I remember the evening
of Sunday, 29th.
It was just like any winter evening.
The first bombers were over London at about
half past 6:00.
(alarm rings)
Soon the fires hissed from the top story windows.
Hitler once boasted, I will rub out their cities.
This is what he meant.
- [Narrator] In the November, 1940 presidential election,
Wendell Willkie's strict isolationist policy lost out
to Roosevelt.
Roosevelt spoke to the American people at the
end of the year on the four essential freedoms
at stake: of speech and religion and
from want and fear.
- They do not need manpower, but they do need
billions of dollars worth of the weapons of defense.
(inspirational music)
- [Narrator] The almost total destruction of Coventry
and other cities such as Plymouth brought the war
not a second nearer to its end for the Germans.
On the contrary, the people returned after
each raid to their lathes and machines
for they knew that the workbench and the assembly line
was as deadly a weapon as the gun.
For 109 consecutive nights, one part of London
or another, was savagely bombed,
but unexpectedly one night the citizens had
their first night off,
(choir sings "O Come, All Ye Faithful")
December 25, 1940.
In the days to come, the citizens became aware
that the raids were becoming shorter and fewer.
By the spring, it seemed at last that it was finally over.
In January 1941, Roosevelt had introduced
his lend-lease bill.
Churchill's prayers were being answered.
America would supply war materials, which would
be paid for in kind after the war.
- [Roosevelt] While the tired waves, vainly breaking,
seem here no painful inch to gain,
far back through creeks and inlets making
come silent, flooding in, the main and not by eastern
windows only.
When daylight comes, comes in the light,
in front the sun climbs slow,
how slowly, but westward, look, the land is bright.
- [Narrator] Bomber command was by now increasing
its attacks on Germany.
As well as using the Wellingtons, they were also
using new types of much heavier, four-engined bombers.
- [Churchill] What tragedies, what horrors, what crimes
has Hitler and all that Hitler stands for
brought up in Europe and the world?
The ruins of Warsaw, of Rotterdam, of Belgrade
are monuments which will long recall to future generations
the outrage of the unopposed air bombing
applied with calculated and scientific cruelty
to helpless populations.
Here in London and throughout the cities of our island
and in Ireland, there may also be seen
the marks of devastation.
They are being repaid
and presently they will be more than repaid.
- [Narrator] The German population was now experiencing
for the first time what it felt like to be Blitzed.
These attacks enraged Hitler who threatened
to obliterate Britain's cities in retaliation.
(Hitler talks through radio)
The air attacks on Britain continued into May 1941.
By now, Hitler had turned his full attention
to the east.
Even so, the Blitz did not end with a whimper.
The last raid, on the night of the 10th/11th of May,
was against London.
Out of the blue, the Blitz returned with doubled fury.
For many people it seemed worse than anything
that had gone before
as millions of firebombs rained down on the capital.
In a matter of minutes, more than 1,500 different
sections of the city burst into roaring flames,
flames that merged together in what was the
greatest fire since the Great Fire of London,
almost 300 years before.
In the midst of all the fires and destruction,
vital water mains were shattered and water pressure
almost entirely cut off.
The men of the London Fire Brigade and their auxiliaries
were the heroes of that night as they had been
at the height of the Blitz some months before.
They stretched temporary hose lines out
into the center of the Themes through mud
and slime.
Ironically, that night the river had one of its lowest
tides for years.
(grim music)
Below ground in the Tube stations and shelters,
the people of London felt they were back
where they had been four months ago.
It seemed that they would have to endure it
all over again.
But next day to everyone's amazement,
there was no siren, no air raid warning, no attack.
They didn't know it then, but Hitler had turned away
from Britain to undertake the conquest of Russia.
The Battle of Britain had finally been won,
but not by Hitler.
For the first time, the Germans had tasted defeat.
For almost a year, they had struck Britain
with their formidable might.
They had killed over 40,000 British people.
But from the start, not one single Nazi soldier
set foot as an invader upon the soil of mainland Britain.
The Battle of Britain and the people who won it
also won for the world
a year of precious time, time in which to prepare
the final victory.
(audience cheers and claps)
- In September last, ladies and gentlemen,
having been defeated in his invasion plans
by the Royal Air Force,
(audience cheers and claps)
Hitler declared his intention to raze
the cities of Britain to the ground
and in the early days of that month,
he set the whole fury of the Huns
upon London.
The staunchness and vigor of London was fully matched
by the splendid behavior of our ports and cities
when they...
(audience claps)
When they in turn received the full violence
of the enemy's assault,
we have to ask ourselves this question.
Will the bombing attacks of last autumn
and winter come back again?
Mr. Chairman, we are proceeding on the assumption
that they will.
And if the lull is to end, if the storm is to
renew itself, London will be ready.
London will not flinch.
London can take it again.
We ask no favors of the enemy.
We seek from them no compunction.
On the contrary, if tonight the people of London
were asked to cast their votes as to whether
convention should be entered into to stop
the bombing of all cities, an overwhelming majority
would cry, "No, we will mete out to the Germans
"the measure and more than the measure
"they have meted out to us!"
(audience claps)
We will have no truce or parlay with you
or the grizzly gang who work your wicked will.
(audience laughs and claps)
You do your worst
and we will do our best.
(audience cheers and claps)
(military music)

John Bateman fires warning to Australia: I'm not the biggest but I never give up - Duration: 3:47.
John Bateman fires warning to Australia: I'm not the biggest but I never give up
But the Wigan battler has a reputation for never backing down and loves getting under opponents' skins. And he hopes Australia will discover that to their cost on Friday in the opening World Cup game in Melbourne.
The 6ft, 15 stone back rower said: "I am not the biggest but I never go on the field thinking that. "I know what I'm good at and people will struggle to handle me if I do it.
I love the physical side of the game." The Aussie press are notorious for trying to wind up visiting countries, especially the English.
But Bateman, 24, says it will be like water off a duck's back and insists he'll enjoy it if they try to rattle him.
"I am not the biggest but I never go on the field thinking that" John Bateman "They can say what they want off the field, I'll love it because it's on the field that matters," he said.
"Then it's 17 men against 17 men and there is nobody else who can help you.
We will get stuck in, no worries." In his earlier days, Bateman would react to provocation but hasn't had a red or yellow card for two seasons.
He said: "I just want to win and if someone is having a go at me I will have a go back but the cards are in the past. "I can control it now, 100 per cent.
I just enjoy the competitive side of it without getting into trouble." Australia haven't lost to England or Great Britain in 10 games since the Lions famously won 23-12 in Sydney in 2006.
But Bateman says Wigan's World Club Challenge win over Cronulla in February gives him confidence that the rot will stop.
He said: "It is vital that we win, there's no two ways about it - this is the right time for us. "Everyone talks about how good Australia are and they like being the centre of attention.
"But it is definitely about us this year.
We know what we are capable of and we are going into this tournament confident that we can win it." Bateman missed England's Test match win over Samoa in Australia in mid-season due to a shoulder injury.
But he made his Wigan debut in Sydney, against the Roosters in the World Club Challenge in 2014, and also toured there as a kid with England Academy.
He said: "Both those were tough but they were good experiences and will help me this time.
