Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 150 - Duration: 5:11.
WARNING: This video may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
Hello Tankers!
In today's V-LOG, we'll be talking about the unified battle list and the new interface.
We'll also be announcing the winner of the Deja Vu Tanki Online contest,
and giving you a sneak peek of what you can expect for Halloween.
The whole Tanki community is buzzing with discussion about the latest updates.
A week ago, we released the Unified Battle List,
but unfortunately, it didn't quite work as intended.
The problem was that players were getting a huge list of battles from different servers,
and at the same time, every battle was trying to update the list of players,
and the number of kills, flags and points.
The pressure on the servers was much greater than we had predicted.
Last Friday and throughout the weekend, we released several important fixes
that brought the situation under control.
After the unified battle list was released,
we got a lot of questions about the matchmaking system,
and about when THAT would be coming.
Don't worry, it's coming... but in stages.
The Matchmaking system is the biggest update when it comes to creating battles
and sorting them by server.
It's a big mechanism, and it is made up of many smaller mechanisms.
So we've decided to release this update in stages,
bit by bit, to properly test everything out.
In the worst case scenario, we might have a few smaller problems along the way,
rather than one giant problem right after the release.
This week we released a new interface for joining battles, adapted for matchmaking.
On one side, there's the easy way to join battles,
for those who don't want to spend time choosing.
And on the other side, the all-familiar Battle List is still available.
Here's why we did that.
Experienced tankers are used to all the options and challenges of the Battle List.
But unfortunately new players get lost in it,
and it's hard for them to decide which battles to enter,
especially since it's their first time seeing all of those maps.
With your awesome help,
the official Tanki Online Facebook page has reached 250.000 likes,
so we're celebrating with a special giveaway!
All you need to do, is click LIKE on the giveaway post, and on Monday 23rd October,
we will randomly pick 40 tankers who will win many cool prizes -
the link to the post, is in the description.
By the way, we've also launched the Facebook version of Tanki Online.
Check it out!
To celebrate the new version, we're launching an additional giveaway.
To participate, you'll need to connect your Tanki account to Facebook,
and open the game using the Facebook app.
Prizes: 1 Dream Tank, 1 month of Premium, and the animated paint, "Flow".
The results will be announced next week, on Friday.
Last week we kicked off the "Masters of Parkour" contest.
We've already received MANY entries, and we expect the final list of videos to be huge
Don't wait till the last minute to submit your video.
The deadline is on October 30th.
This week we announced the winners of the Deja Vu TO contest.
Congratulations to Gabri6 for a well-deserved victory.
Cool photos!
The resemblance is amazing.
Halloween is always an awesome celebration in Tanki Online,
and this year will NOT be an exception.
The celebrations kick off next Friday, and will last for one and a half weeks!
Here's what you can expect:
Holiday decorations, a cool paint, lots of gold boxes, special missions,
a Halloween map and a full day of increased battle funds.
And, of course, sales!
All of the details about the event will become available on our website next week.
We've also prepared fun contests for social media and more.
You're in for a good time, and the discounts are VERY profitable.
Make sure you join us!
How do you kill the time while you wait for the Halloween celebrations to start?
Easy.
Take part in another Tanki Thinking Challenge prepared by our Wiki team, and win cool prizes!
The challenge consists of a special quiz that will test your knowledge of the game…
and your Wiki searching skills.
This time, the quiz will be easier, but it will reward you with the same big prizes!
The Tanki Thinking Challenge starts early on Monday, October 23rd,
so don't sleep through the quiz!
And that's it for today, tankers!
Don't forget about Tanki Tower -
the video contest that we launched last week.
And give us a LIKE for Halloween.
See ya!
Last week, 3 tanks drove up a ramp and over mines.
You had to guess which tank would jump the highest.
The correct answer is - Viking.
Most tankers answered correctly, but here are the lucky winners.
And here's the new question:
Whose frag is it?

Video #1 - How to come up with an idea for your story - Duration: 8:21.
Hi!
Find an idea for a story you really care about!
Shall we?
Hi everyone!
Welcome back to Flourish and Books.
I'm Angelina.
There are two kinds of writers: the ones that have ideas flying to them like flies to a
heap of dung.
And then there are those, who are wondering "How can I become a heap of dung?"
Sometimes it can be hard to come up with original ideas for new stories.
But there are some great techniques you can use to find new exciting ideas that are not
cliché.
So I'm going to share them with you right now.
I would like to put these techniques into two different categories: The ideas you get
from the outside, and the ones you get from the inside.
Let me explain.
The ideas you find "outside" are usually ideas that are inspired by something else
– like for example by other books or movies.
So the first thing you can do, is make a list of your favorite books and movies, and figure
out WHY you liked them?
For example, one of my favorite movies is – don't judge me – Titatic.
I'm just choosing this one because it's the easiest to explain.
I'm usually more into science fiction.
So, I loved how the audience already knew from the start what was going to happen to
that ship.
So you knew, that the characters were about to go through an incredibly intense experience.
And of course, as stated before, I am a girl, so I did enjoy the romance in that movie,
but particularly because Jack – the male lead character – acted so selflessly.
Now there are two things – one about plot and one about character – that I might be
able to use for one of my stories.
So the start of a concept could be, to have a particularly selfless character, or have
someone live through a deadly catastrophe.
Now you can figure out what your favorite books and movies are, and make a list of the
things you liked about them.
Another "outside" technique is to watch the news.
There are so many highly emotional stories told in such a short time, you can take these
stories and build your own book-length versions of them.
The same goes for events in history, by the way.
You can be inspired by historical events like wars, revolutions, etc.
Another similar one is to use writing prompts, or picture prompts.
You can find them everywhere – Just google them.
I highly recommend using Pinterest, though.
My account is linked below, and I have a board for writing prompts only, in case you want
to check that out.
But yes, you can create entire stories around a picture or a single sentence, that gets
your creative juices flowing.
These were the 3 techniques for "outside" ideas.
Now the inside ideas, I was talking about, are things about yourself that you can use
to inspire new stories.
The first one, is to use moments from your life that were special to you.
In whichever way.
It can be something from your past, something that changed you – maybe a break-up, or
a special birthday – things like that.
Or get inspiration from things that are going on at the moment.
Like a problem at work that you can't solve.
Look at your life and search for moments that affected you, positively or negatively.
It doesn't matter.
But these can inspire entirely new stories that stand on their own.
Another "inside" technique is to look at what you care about the most.
What do you love?
What are your hobbies?
What's your passion?
What gives you butterflies apart from writing, obviously.
Of course you can always include readers and writers!
But maybe there's something else – like dancing.
Maybe writing a story about life as a hard-training ballerina, is what you'd like to do.
Because you've experienced it, and you love it.
Figure out what your passion is.
In the same "inside" way, you can create stories evolving around what you fear or hate
the most.
Maybe you hate that one girl at school, or people judging you by the way you dress, or…
pebbles in your shoes.
I'm not kidding.
Although this might turn into more of a comedy.
Or you can use this as a first line hook, and this can inspire you just like any picture
prompt, to create a story from there.
Also: What's your biggest flaw?
Do you have a trait you're struggling with?
Writing a story about a character with this particular flaw, might be not only interesting,
but maybe even help you figure things out for yourself.
I actually highly recommend this technique for psychological reasons.
So, now, these were the techniques you can use to come up with first ideas.
Now how can we try to make these ideas more unique?
Maybe your first idea was inspired by your favorite movie, and now you have a selfless
main character who has to live through a disaster like a sinking ship.
Only, I don't want it to be a sinking ship.
I'm into science fiction, so I'm going to place that selfless character on a foreign
planet, that's about to be hit by an asteroid.
That's a clear disaster.
So, my tip for you is to figure out, what is different / what is special about your
idea?
Is it the setting / or the environment?
Is there maybe something unique about your main character?
Or do you maybe have an idea for a big, unique twist already?
You can always ask What-if questions: What if my main character wasn't able to leave
that planet before the asteroid hits?
What if he didn't care about the asteroid hitting in the first place?
What if he already had a deadly disease?
Now that paired with the selflessness?
That's interesting!
How would you do that?
What if he didn't care about dying, but he was intent on helping others selflessly,
so they could get away?
New story!
Ok, now I'm intrigued!
Another way to make your story more unique is to add a second idea to the mix.
Another one of my favorite movies is Inception.
Can you tell I'm a Leo DiCaprio fan?
He just happens to pick really good screenplays.
So, I like about Inception – a lot of things.
But let's say I like the concept of the wife, who lost sight of what reality was,
and ultimately affected Leo's motivations in that movie.
So let's say my selfless character on that doomed planet has a wife, who's slowly going
crazy.
And she keeps laughing about the fact that an asteroid is about to hit.
Because she thinks it's not real.
It would be interesting to see how it affects the lead character.
Because maybe being as selfless as he is, he must try to convince her to leave the planet,
while she thinks it's all a hoax.
Another technique to make your story more unique is by taking your initial idea and
see if you can make significant changes.
And I mean things like changing the gender of the main character, or put the same concept
into another genre, change the setting, which is basically what I did with the Titanic-idea.
Changes like these automatically change the entire concept!
And last but not least, think if you can add interesting dilemmas.
Like a Sophie's Choice.
In case you don't know what it is, it comes from the book "Sophie's Choice" by William
Styron.
It's a classic.
And all you need to know about it, is that it's about a mother that gets herself into
a situation where she basically has to make the decision of which one of her two kids
to sacrifice in order to save the other one.
Now that's a dilemma.
So these were all the tips I have for you today.
If you come up with an idea you think sounds familiar or cliché, see if you can use any
of these techniques.
It's best to make a list of ideas, and then choose the best one of those.
And you really don't need to worry about coming up with a high concept.
Look at all the Nicholas Sparks books, for example.
They're simple boy-meets-girl romance stories.
But Nicholas Sparks has a great way of making them sound really important.
You can mainly do this by adding an underlying theme to your story, and that's what we're
going to work on next week.
But for now: Make a list of all your ideas, and then pick the one that excites you, the
one that scares you.
Because what is important is that it gives you an intense gut feeling that THIS story
is important to tell.
Don't think about what kind of audience you're going to attract.
Choose what interests YOU!
You're the one who's going to have conversations with your characters for a very long time,
and later you will have to read their words over and over.
So make sure YOU are interested in that story.
This is all for you today.

Racism I Experienced As An Asian - Duration: 10:04.
Hi guys!
Last time i uploaded a talking video
you guys liked it
so I'm filming another talking video!
Anyway
So today I want to talk about
Racism
Yesterday, I read the news about
a physically violent racism towards a Korean student in Brighton
He got beaten up just because he was asian
and really broke my heart
As you may know, I lived in many countries
(Although my stories are incomparable with the victim in Brighton)
Tbh I really can't count the times I experienced racism since I was little
I experienced it countless times
Not just me
but I also witnessed my parents being mistreated because of racists
Yeah, so, we always had to face racism
because I didn't grow up in Korea
So since I grew up in Spain
So I had many Spanish friends
and I'm not saying that all Spanish kids were racists
Actually I don't think I really experienced racism when I was little
but rather when I was getting older
I think it started around when I was 10
and from 10 you start to become independent and walk around alone and stuff
Back in those days, Korea wasn't really known
So it was normal that people immediately assumed that I was Chinese
they just judged it immediately
So when I just walked around
People would shout: China! China!
China means Chinese
I am not saying I don't like Chinese people
But rather, who are these people? I'm just walking but why they assume and shout that I am Chinese?
I mean, the only reason is
to ridicule me, you know? There's a condescending motivation there
So
So as I grew up I automatically accepted the fact that people just don't even think that I might be Korean
So I moved to the States when I was 12
I didn't really see people shouting racist stuff to me BUT
but there was ALWAYS indirect racism
For example, once when was running an errand at a bank
but the person who worked there very condescending
Even though I spoke good English!
Like, I was confused, why is this lady treating me like this?
Even when I repeated myself she would be like:
"What? What? I don't understand you"
Like this! So I'm like "she crazy?"
I remember being super upset
But I held my anger, and patiently repeated the sentences (to make her look bad)
That was one experience
and I also witnessed it through my parents
I remember my mom being super upset
and asked for a manager of the store
but got completely ignored. (our basic customer's right was neglected)
So I remember that clearly
When I lived in California, I went to school there
and there were many Koreans there, actually
There was discrimination even between KOREANS
Specifically between Korean-Americans, and Korean Immigrants
(it's not just only white Americans who discriminated)
So it wasn't even the WHITE Americans, but the KOREAN-Americans who discriminated us
especially because we couldn't speak English properly
The one thing that really stayed with me was
when I was angriest, and very sad at the same time
So whenever a non-Korean person discriminated me, calling me Chinese out loud or something
in Spain, Korean-Spanish or Korean Immigrants always stuck together
But in California, the Korean-Americans were SO discriminating against us!(me and my Korean immigrant friends)
They looked so annoyed at us, so I asked "Why do you look at us like that? Why do you laugh at us?"
I think they said "When you speak Korean is loud" or something like that
it was nonsense
And they said "Why don't you learn ABC first?!"
and one of them shoved her faced at me
I mean, I couldn't understand! We were all the same, we were Koreans!
So I was so angry, upset, and sad
and thought "We are all Koreans, why do these Koreans discriminate us because we can't speak English fluently?"
and so I got super angry
There was loud music and stuff at a fun school party but I was super upset so
I pushed her (she didn't fall or anything, just pushed her away from me)
Telling her "YOU should learn GANADARA(Korean vocabulary) first!!"
and said "You are a shame to Koreans!"
I remember that...my immature self dealing the situation immaturely
But at the end, because of what happened,
I pushed myself a bit more to learn English, I mean I didn't go crazy, but I remember trying to practice more
So later Imoved to France in my 20's
there as well...yah...I was discriminated just because I was Asian
Like literally, I would walk, and these random people would tell me "Go back to your country"
just without any reason!
Also drunk people would shout
So basically, there was racism any country I went to!
It's not like America has less racism,
In my opinion, it was about the same in any country
There were so many unfair situations,
and there were just this....inexplicable indirect discriminations as well
agh..there are just so many
So, In America, I don't know about these days, but there was always this
indirect racisms
In France, they were pretty straight forward about it
And in Spain, can't remember much cuz I was young, but I was ridiculed
In France, though,
I don't remember if I told you this
when I was discriminated,
in contrary, I became more motivated, it pushed me to study the language faster
The present, however, is very ironic because I'm married to a white European hah
BUT, in the past, when I was a teenager, I was so fed up by racism that
I HATED ALL white Americans
This was when I was 14-15years old
I just despised white people
I was so stressed because of everyday discrimination, and that led to hate
but after I got in college
I started to meet new people
I mean, there are racists out there
but I realized that I was generalizing ALL people because of the fault of few
and that made me equal to racist. I was being racist
So later I stopped generalizing, I stopped judging and opened my heart
The more new friends I made, I learned
So if anybody is racist towards you,
it doesn't mean that the whole country is like that
it's the fault of individuals, and we gotta remind ourselves like that
If you to any country and experience racism,
THAT racist is the idiot
That person is narrow minded, or poorly educated
or it could be someone who never moved out from that neighborhood, who knows
I haven't experienced a lot of racism in London(it does happen though) but
but I am always alert
Yeah, the world is big
and there are tons of weird people
If you ever get discriminated because you are Korean, or Chinese, or..Vietnamese
The person who does that is the problem, that person is mentally unstable
they are in the WRONG
You are totally the normal person, so don't be ashamed, don't lose your confidence,
I always remind myself like that
I get messages like, you are afraid to travel because you are scared of racism,
But don't be scared
There are idiots everywhere
Anyway, yeah!
And also lastly,
ask yourself: Do I have any ethnicity I judge automatically?
Don't forget to check yourself
Check if you consider your ethnicity to be 'better' than others, because that's racist
Check if you do racial jokes that might condescending to others
Gotta rethink about yourself too!
Like my teenager year!:I hated white people in general and didn't admit I was being racist
BUT if you look at people and treat them like different individuals, your heart will open up!
For you guys who are traveling, or are studying, or moved overseas
Chin up! You are strong! If someone tries to let you down, ignore, and be courageous!
So yeah.
See you next time! Bye!

Il passo più importante è stato nel 1996-1997 quando abbiamo deciso di passare dall'off-road ad anche le moto stradali, che ora valgono circa il 60% del volume totale
successivamente, un altro passo importante è stato l'alleanza strategica con Bajaj, in modo tale da avere moto belle ad un prezzo competitivo come le KTM 125 e 390

October update | I'M STUDYING IN JAPAN?? | - Duration: 3:12.
Hi and welcome to my channel!
Over a week ago I uploaded my first vlog from Japan.
And today I have a bit different video for you.
Well, my trip to Japan was about two months ago
And right now...
I'm again...
In Japan!! \(^o^)/
Ahh...
It doesn't really look like Japan, does it? ^^"
But..
Uuuuu~~
?¿?¿?¿?¿
But if you look over here you can see...
Japanese writting, with kanji~!
Uuu~
Focus..
Not sure if can focus it
Anyway, yyy.. yes, I'm in Japan
Why am I in Japan? xD
Because..a lot recently happened
And I was accepted to a language program
at unviersity which collaborates with my university
With Warsaw Japanese Studies
Yyy yeah, so that's how I ended up here and I wanted to share the information with you
Anyway, it's so cold here
So I'll just get back to my room.
So now I'm going to spend half a year here on hard studying
At Japanese unviersity! ^o^
And also have some fun
and try many new things
and finally see how's it to live in Japan.
By the way, I was supposed to upload a new vlog from the trip to Japan few days ago
but I've got some terrible problems with my software.. (You can see the playback of the vlog here)
So it seems that I'll have to edit the vlog form the beginning once again..
so I'm kinda sad about it
because I've spend lots of time on edditing this video v.v
And it seems that I have to do it once again.
So I'm sorry that the vlogs are so rarely.
And I was thinking, about uploading videos from the trip like once a week when I'm in Japan.
And once in a while, like 2 weeks or something I would upload something from my current life.
But now I think I'll do the opposite
So I want to show you my life here up to date.
And videos from the trip would like once in a while.
Depending on how much time will it take to edit them and so on.
Also I didn't bring my lightning from Poland.
Because I cam here by plane..
So as you can see, it's a bit dark here.
And now I can't do aything about it.
But I've brought my camera, tripod and microphone
And that's the most important, because I can still record videos :D
So that's all I wanted to tell you today ^^"
I've already recorded few videos since I moved here.
So i hope that I;ll be able to upload it soon, without any any problems with the software..
So yeah, that's all for today.
Thanks everyone who subscribes me (/^o^)/✧♡
And once again sorry that I upload so rarely..
Just.. so many things happened..
And now this problem with the software... v__v
So..you know, although I do a lot of things recently
and even though I've spent few days on the second vlog
I won't upload it soon, because I have to edit it again..
Now I'm already to angry to make it from the scratch again right now.
So here's only today's video for now.
I hope you are going to follow my life here in Japan
Because..
I think it's going to be very intresting, actually it is already very interesting
and it's going to be even more interesting form now
I'm sure
So thank you for watching and see you again! >_^

The Maddening Science by J.M. Frey
Bullets fired into a crowd.
Children screaming.
Women crying.
Men crying, too, not that any of them would admit it.
The scent of gun powder, rotting garbage, stale motor oil, vomit, and misery.
Police sirens in the distance, coming closer, making me cringe against old memories.
Making me skulk into the shadows, hunch down in my hoodie, a beaten puppy.
This guy isn't a supervillian.
He isn't even a villain, really.
He is just an idiot.
A child with a gun.
And a grudge.
Or maybe a god complex.
Or a revenge scheme.
Who the hell cares what he thought he had?
In the end, it amounts to the same.
The last place I want to be is in the centre of the police's attention, again, so I sink
back into the fabric, shying from the broad helicopter searchlights that sweep in through
the narrow windows of the parking garage.
If this had been before, I might have leapt into action with one of my trusty gizmos.
Or, failing that, at least with a witty verbal assault that would have left the moron boy
too brain-befuddled to resist when I punched him in the oesophagus.
But this isn't before.
I keep my eyes on the sky, instead of on the gun.
If the Brilliant Bitch arrives, I want to see.
No one else is looking up.
It has been a long, long time since one of...us...has donned sparkling spandex and crusaded out
into the night to roust the criminal element from their lairs, or to enact a plot against
the establishment, to bite a glove-covered thumb at 'the man.'
A long time since one of us has done much more than pretend to not be one of us.
The age of the superhero petered out surprisingly quickly.
The villains learnt our lessons; the heroes became obsolete.
A whizzing pop beside my left ear.
I duck behind the back wheel of a sleek penis-replacement-on-wheels.
The owner will be very upset when he sees the bullet gouges littering the bright red
altar to his own virility.
I've never been shot before.
I've been electrocuted, eye-lasered, punched by someone with the proportional strength
of a spotted gecko and, memorably, tossed into the air by a breath-tornado created by
a hero whose Italian lunch my schemes had clearly just interrupted.
Being shot seems fearfully mundane after all that.
A normal, boring death scares me more than any other kind—especially if it's due
to a random, pointless, unpredictable accident of time and place intersecting with a stupid
poser with the combination to daddy's gun drawer and the key to mommy's liquor cabinet.
I had been on the way to the bargain grocery store for soymilk.
It doesn't look like I'm going to get any now.
Because only the extraordinary die in extraordinary ways.
And I am extraordinary no longer.
I look skyward.
Still no Crimson Cunt.
Someone screams.
Someone else cries.
I sit back against the wheel and refrain from whistling to pass the time.
If I was on the other side of the parking garage, I could access the secret tunnel I
built into the lower levels back when the concrete was poured thirty years ago.
But the boy and his bullets are between us.
I've nothing to do but wait.
The boy is using a 9mm Barretta, military issue, so probably from daddy's day job in
security at the air force base.
He has used up seven bullets.
The standard Barretta caries a magazine of fifteen.
Eight remain, unless one had already been prepared in the chamber, which I highly doubt
as no military man would be unintelligent or undisciplined enough to carry about a loaded
gun aimed at his own foot.
The boy is firing them at an average rate of one every ninety-three seconds—punctuated
by unintelligible screaming—and so by my estimation I will be pinned by his unfriendly
fire for another seven hundred and forty-four seconds, or twelve point four minutes.
However, the constabulary generally arrive on the scene between six and twenty-three
minutes after an emergency call.
As this garage is five and a half blocks from the 2nd Precinct, I estimate the stupid boy
has another eight point seven minutes left to live before a SWAT team puts cold lead
between his ribs.
Better him than me.
Except, probability states that he will kill another three bystanders before that time.
I scrunch down further, determined not to be a statistic today.
This brings me directly into eye-line with a corpse.
There is blood all around her left shoulder.
If she didn't die of shock upon impact, then surely she died of blood loss.
Her green eyes are wide and wet.
I wonder who she used to be.
I wonder if she is leaving behind anyone who will weep and rail and attend the police inquest
and accuse the system of being too slow, too corrupt, too over-burdened.
I wonder if they will blame the boy's parents or his teachers.
Will they only blame themselves?
Or her?
And then, miraculously, she blinks.
Well, that certainly is a surprise.
Perhaps the trauma is not as extensive as I estimated.
To be fair, I cannot see most of her.
She has fallen awkwardly, the momentum of her tumble half-concealing her under the chassis
of the ludicrously large Hummer beside my penis-car.
I am so fascinated by the staggering of her torso as she tries to suck in a breath, the
staccato rhythm of her blinks, the bloody slick of teeth behind her lips, that it's
all over before I am aware of it.
This must be what people mean by time flying.
I'm not certain I've ever felt that strange loss of seconds ever before.
I am so very used to being able to track everything.
It's disconcerting.
I don't like it.
And yet the boy is downed, the police are here, paramedics crawling over the dead and
dying like swarming ants.
I wait for them to find my prize, to pull her free of the SUV's shadow and whisk her
away to die under ghastly fluorescent lights, too pumped full of morphine to know she is
slipping away.
I wait in the shadow of the wheel and hope that they miss me.
They do.
Only, in missing me, they miss her, as well.
She is blinking, gritty and desperate, and now the police are leaving, and the paramedics
are shunting their human meat into the sterile white cubes, and they have not found her,
my fascinating, panting young lady.
Oh dear.
This is a dilemma.
I am reformed.
I am no longer a villain.
But I am also no hero and I like my freedom far too much to want to risk it by bringing
her to the attention of the officials.
What to do?
Save her and risk my freedom, or let her die, and walk free but burdened with the knowledge
of yet another life that I might have been able to save, and didn't?
I dither too long.
They are gone.
Only the media are left, and I certainly don't want them to catch me in their unblinking
grey lenses.
The woman blinks, sad and slow.
She knows that she is dead.
It's coming.
Her fingers twitch towards me—reaching.
A responsible, honest citizen would not let her die.
So I slink out of my shadow and gather her up, the butterfly struggle of her pulse in
her throat against my arm, and slip away through my secret tunnel.
I steal her away to save her life.
#
It occurs to me, when I lean back and away from the operating table, my hands splashed
with gore, that I've kidnapped this woman.
She has seen my face.
Others will see the neat way I've made my nanobots stitch the flesh and bone of her
shoulder back together.
They will recognize the traces of the serum that I've infused her with in order to speed
up her healing, because I once replaced the totality of my blood with the same to keep
myself disease free, young looking, and essentially indestructible.
The forensics agents will know this handiwork for mine.
And then they will know that at least one of my medical laboratories escaped their detection
and their torches.
They will fear that.
No matter that I gave my word to that frowning judge that I had been reformed, no matter
that the prison therapist holds papers signed to that effect, no matter that I've personally
endeavoured to become and remain honest, forthright, and supportive; one look at my lair will remind
them of what I used to be, what they fear I might still be, and that will be enough.
That will be the end.
I will go back to the human zoo.
And I cannot have that.
I've worked too hard to be forgotten to allow them to remember.
I take off the bloody gloves and apron and put them in my incinerator, where they join
my clothing from earlier tonight.
I take a shower and dress—jeans, a tee-shirt, another nondescript wash-greyed hoodie: the
uniform of the youth I appear to number among.
Then I sit in a dusty, plush chair beside the cot in the recovery room and I wait for
her to wake.
The only choice that seems left to me is the very one I had been trying to avoid from the
start of this whole mess—the choice to go bad, again.
I've saved her life, but in doing so, I've condemned us both.
Fool.
Better to have let her died in that garage.
Only, her eyes had been so green, and so sad...
I hate myself.
I hate that the Power Pussy might have been right: that the only place for me is jail;
that the world would be better off without me; that it's a shame I survived her last,
powerful assault.
#
When she wakes, the first thing the young woman says is, "You're Proffes—"
I don't let her finish.
"Please don't say that name.
I don't like it."
Her sentence stutters to a halt, unsaid words tumbling from between her teeth to crash into
her lap.
She looks down at them, wringing them into the light cotton sheets, and nods.
"Olly," I say.
Her face wrinkles up.
"Olly?"
"Oliver."
The confusion clears, clouds parting, and she flashes a quirky little gap between her
two front teeth at me.
"Really?
Seriously?
Oliver?"
I resist the urge to bare my own teeth at her.
"Yes."
"Okay.
Olly.
I'm Rachel."
Then she peers under the sheet.
She cannot possibly see the tight, neat little rows of sutures through the scrubs (or perhaps
she can, who knows what powers people are being born into nowadays?), but she nods as
if she approves and says, "Thank you."
"I couldn't let you die."
"The Prof would have."
"I'm Olly."
She nods.
"Okay."
"Are you thirsty?"
I point to a bottle of water on the bedside table.
She makes a point of checking the cap before she drinks, but I cannot blame her.
Of course, she also does not know that I've ways of poisoning water through plastic, but
I won't tell her that.
Besides, I haven't done so.
"So," she says.
"Thank you."
I snort, I can't help it.
It's a horribly ungentlemanly sound, but my disbelief is too profound.
"Don't laugh.
I mean it," she says.
"I'm laughing because you mean it.
Rachel."
I ask, "How old are you?"
She blushes, a crimson flag flapping across a freckled nose, and I curse myself this weakness,
this fascination with the human animal that has never managed to ebb, even after all that
time in solitary confinement.
"Twenty-three," she says.
She is lying—her eyes shift to the left slightly, she wets her lips, her breathing
increases fractionally.
I see it plain as a road sign on a highway.
I also saw her ID when I cleaned out her backpack.
She is twenty-seven.
"Twenty-three," I allow.
"I was put into prison when you were eight years old.
I did fifteen years of a life sentence and was released early on parole for good behaviour
and a genuine desire to reform.
The year prior to my sentencing I languished in a city cell, and the two before that I
spent mostly tucked away completing my very last weapon.
Therefore, the last memory you can possibly have of the 'Prof,' as you so glibly call
him, was from when you were six."
I sit forward.
"Rachel, my dear, can you really say that at six years old you understood what it meant
to have an honest to goodness supervillain terrorizing your home?"
She shakes her head, the blush draining away and leaving those same freckles to stand out
against her glowing pale skin like ink splattered on vellum.
"That is why I laughed.
It amuses me that I've lived so long that someone like you is saying thank you to me.
Ah, and I see another question there.
Yes?"
"You don't look old enough," she says softly.
I smile and flex a fist.
"I age very, very slowly."
"Well, I know that.
I just meant, is that part of the...you know, how you were born?"
"No," I say.
"I did it to myself."
"Do you regret it?"
I flop back in my chair, blinking.
No one has ever asked me that before.
I've never asked myself.
"I don't know," I admit.
"Would you?"
She shrugs, and then winces, pressing one palm against her shoulder.
"Maybe," she admits.
"I always thought that part of the stories was a bit sad.
That the Prof has to live forever with what he's done."
"No, not forever," I demur.
"Just a very long time.
May I ask, what stories?"
"Um!
Oh, you know, social science—recent history.
I had to do a course on the Superhero Age, in school.
I was thinking of specializing in Vigilantism."
"A law student, then."
"Yes."
"How urbane."
"Yes, it sort of is, isn't it?"
She smiles faintly.
"What is it about superheroes that attracts us mousy sorts?"
"I could say something uncharitable about ass-hugging spandex and cock cups, but I don't
think that would apply to you."
"Cape Bunnies?" she asks, with a grin.
"No, definitely not my style."
"Cape Bunn—actually, I absolutely have no desire to know."
I stand.
I feel weary in a way that has nothing to do with my age.
"If you are feeling up to it, Rachel, may I interest you in some lunch?"
"Actually, I should go," she says.
"I feel fantastic!
I mean, this is incredible.
What you did.
I thought I was a goner."
"You nearly were," I say.
"And thank you, again.
But my mom must be freaking out.
I should go to a hospital or something.
At least call her."
"Oh, Rachel," I say softly.
"You've studied supervillians.
You know what my answer to that has to be."
She is quiet for a moment, and then those beautiful green eyes go wide.
"No," she says.
"I am sorry.
I didn't mean to trade my freedom for yours.
I thought I was doing good.
For once."
"But...but," she stutters.
"I can't."
She blinks and then curses.
"Stupid, I'm not talking about that!
I mean, they can't really think that about you, can they?
You saved my life.
This...this isn't a bad thing!"
I laugh again.
"Are you defending me?
Are you sure that's wise?"
"Don't condescend to me!" she snaps.
"That's not fair.
You've done your time.
You saved me.
Isn't that enough for them?"
"Oh, Rachel.
You certainly do have a pleasant view of the world."
"Don't call me naive!"
The way she spits it makes me think that she says this quite often.
"I'm not," I say.
"Only optimistic."
I gesture through the door.
"The kitchen is there.
I will leave the door unlocked.
I've a closet through there—take whatever you'd like.
I'm afraid your clothing was too bloody."
"Fine," she snarls.
I nod once and make my way into the kitchen, closing the door behind me to leave her to
rage and weep in privacy.
I know from personal experience how embarrassing it is to realize that your freedom has been
forcefully taken from you, in public.
#
I built this particular laboratory-cum-bolthole in the 1950s, back when the world feared nuclear
strikes.
I was a different man then, though no less technologically apt, and so it has been outfitted
with all manner of tunnels and closets, storage chambers, libraries, and bedrooms.
The fridge keeps food fresh indefinitely, so the loaf of bread, basket of tomatoes and
head of lettuce I left here in1964 are still fit makings for sandwiches.
I also open a can of soup for us to share.
She comes out of the recovery room nine thousand and sixty-six seconds—fifteen point eleven
minutes—after; a whole three minutes longer than I had estimated she would take.
There is stubbornness in her that I had not anticipated, but for which I should have been
prepared.
She did not die in that garage, and it takes great courage and tenacity to beat off the
Grim Reaper.
"I'm sorry, Oliver," she says, and sits in the plastic chair.
I suppose the look is called "retro" now, but this kitchen was once the height of taste.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
I set a bowl in front of her.
She doesn't even shoot me a suspicious look; I suppose she's decided to take the farce
of believing me a good person to its conclusion.
"It sucks that you're so sure people are going to hate you."
"Aren't they?"
She pouts miserably and sips her soup.
It's better than the rage I had been expecting, or an escape attempt.
I wasn't looking forward to having to chase her down and wrangle her into a straitjacket,
or drug her into acquiescence.
I would hate to have to dim that keen gaze of hers.
I sit down opposite her and point to her textbook, propped up on my toaster oven for me to read
as I stirred the soup.
It had been in the bloody backpack I stripped from her, and seemed sanitary enough to save.
Her cell phone, I destroyed.
"This is advanced, Rachel," I say.
"Are you enjoying it?"
She flicks her eyes to the book.
"You've read it."
"Nearly finished.
I read fast."
"You didn't flip to the end?"
"Should I?"
"No," she blurts.
"No.
Go at your own pace.
I just...I mean, I do like it," she said.
"Especially the stuff about supervillain reformation."
I sigh and set down my spoon.
"Oh, Rachel."
"I'm serious, Oliver!
Just let me make a phone call.
I promise, no one will arrest you.
I won't even tell them I met you."
"You won't have to."
She slams her fists into the tabletop, the perfect picture of childish frustration.
"You can't keep me here forever."
"I can," I say.
"It is physically possible.
What you mean to say is, 'You don't want to keep me here forever.'"
She goes still.
"Do you want to?"
I can.
I know I can.
I can be like one of those men who kidnaps a young lady and locks her in his basement
for twenty years, forcing her to become dependent on him, forcing her to love him.
But I don't want to.
I've nothing but distaste for men who can't earn love, and feel the need to steal it.
Cowards.
"No," I say.
"Then why are you hesitating?
Let me go."
"Not until you're fully healed, at least," I bargain.
I'm not used to bargaining.
Giving demands, yes.
But begging, never.
"When no trace of what I've done remains.
Is that acceptable?
But in return, you must not try to escape.
You could hurt yourself worse, and frankly I don't want to employ the kind of force
that would be required to keep you.
That is my deal."
"You promise?"
I sneer.
"I don't break promises."
"I know," she says.
"I read about that, too.
Okay.
It's a deal."
#
I spend the night working on schematics for a memory machine.
I've never tampered with the mind of another before—I respect intellect far too much
to go mucking about in someone's grey matter like a child in a tide pool—but I have no
other choice.
Rachel cannot remember our time together.
Rachel sleeps in one of the spare bedrooms.
She enjoyed watching old movies all afternoon, and I confess I enjoyed sitting beside her
on the sofa.
We had frozen pizza for dinner, and her gaze had spent almost as much time on the screen
as on my face.
In the morning, my blueprints are ready and my chemicals begin to simmer on Bunsen burners.
I leave the lab and find her at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and flipping through
my scrapbook.
It's filled with newspaper articles and photos, wanted posters and DVDs of news broadcasts.
I've never thought to keep it in a safe or to put it away somewhere because, besides
Miss Rachel, no one has ever been to this bolthole but me.
"You found the soymilk, I see," I say.
She nods and doesn't look up from her intense perusal of a favourite article of mine, the
only one where the reporter got it.
"And my book."
"It's like a shrine," she says.
"I thought you'd hate all these superheroes, but there's just as much in here about them
as you."
"I've great respect for anyone who wants to better the world."
I touch the side of the coffeepot —still warm.
I pour myself a cup and sit across from her.
"See... that's what's freaking me out, a bit," she says.
"You're such a..."
"What?"
"You seem like such a sweet guy."
I laugh again.
"What?"
"Don't mistake my youth for sweetness."
"I'm not, but...I don't know, you're not a supervillain."
"I'm not a superhero, either."
"You can be something in the middle.
You can just be a nice guy."
"I've never been just a 'nice guy,' Rachel.
Not even before."
"I think you're being one now."
She leans across the table and kisses me.
I don't close my eyes, or move my mouth.
This is a surprise too, but an acceptable one.
When she sits back, I ask, "Is this why you were studying my face so intently last
night while you pretended to watch movies?"
She blushes again, and it's fascinating.
"Shut up," she mumbles.
I smile.
"Are you a Cape Bunny after all, Miss Rachel?"
"A Labcoat Bunny, maybe," she says.
"I've always gone for brain over brawn."
"Who are you lashing out against," I ask calmly, my tone probably just this side of
too cool, "that you think kissing the man who has kidnapped you is a good idea?"
Rachel drops back down into her seat.
"Way to ruin the moment, Romeo."
"That is not an answer."
"No one!"
"And, that, dear Rachel, is a lie."
She throws up her hands.
"I don't know, okay!
My mother!
The school!
The courts!
The whole stupid system!
A big stupid world that says the man who saved my life has to go to jail for it!"
"I am part of the revenge scheme, then," I say.
"If you come out of your captivity loving your captor, then they cannot possibly think
I am evil.
You have it all planned out, my personal redemption.
Or perhaps this is a way to earn a seat in that big-ticket law school?"
She stares at me, slack jawed, a storm brewing behind those beautiful green eyes.
"You're a bit of a dick, you know that?"
"That is what the Crimson Cunt used to—" "Don't call her that."
"Why not?
The Super Slut won't hear me say it.
Not under all this concrete."
"Shut up!"
"Why?"
I sneer.
"Protecting a heroine you've never met?"
"She deserves better, even from you!"
"Oh, have I ruined your image of me, Rachel?
Am I not sweet and misunderstood anymore?"
"You still shouldn't—" "What, hate her?
She put me in jail!"
I copy her and slam my fists on the tabletop.
My mug topples, hot liquid splashing out between us.
"I think I've a right to be bitter about that."
"But it was for the good!
It made you better."
"No, it made me cowed.
I've lost all my ambition, dear Rachel.
And that is why I am just a normal citizen.
I am too tired."
"But Divine—" "Don't say her name, either!"
Rachel stands and pounds her fists on the table again, shaking my fallen mug, and I
stand as well, too furious to want to be shorter than her.
"Asshole!" she snarls.
"And she was a ball-breaker on a power trip.
She was no better for the city than I!
The only difference was that she didn't have the gumption, the ambition, the foresight
to do what had to be done!
I was the only one who saw!
Me.
She towed the line.
She kept the status quo.
I was trying to change the world!
She was just a stupid blonde bimbo with huge tits and a small brain—"
"Don't talk about my mother that way!"
Oh.
I drop back down into my seat, knees giving way without my say-so.
"Well, this is a turn," I admit.
"Everyone knows!" she spits.
"It's hard to miss.
Same eyes, same cheekbones."
"I've never seen your mother's eyes and cheekbones."
"What, were you living under a rock when she unmasked?"
I smile, and it's thin and bitter.
"I was in solitary confinement for five years.
By the time I got out, it must have been old news.
And I had no stomach to look up my old nemesis."
Rachel looks away, and her eyes are bright with tears that don't skitter down her cheeks.
I wonder if they are for her mother, or for herself, or because I've said such terrible
things and her opinion of me has diminished.
They are certainly not because she pities me.
Nobody pities me.
I got, as I am quite often reminded, exactly what I deserved.
"What does your mother do now?"
I ask, after the silence has become unbearable.
There is nothing to count or calculate in the silence, besides the precise, quiet click
of the second hand ticking ever onward, ever onward, while I am left behind.
"Socialite," Rachel says.
"Cars.
Money.
Married a real estate developer."
"Is he your father?"
She swings her gaze back to me, sharp.
"Why would you ask that?"
"Why does the notion that he might not be offend you?"
Her lips pucker, and with that scowl, I can see it: the pissy frown, the stubborn thrust
of her chin.
There is the Fantastic Floozy, hating me through her daughter.
"It doesn't," she lies.
She twists her hands in front of her again.
"Fine, it does.
I don't know, okay?
I don't think she knows.
She wants it to be him."
"So do you," I press.
"Because that would make you normal."
She looks up brusquely.
"Please, Rachel," I say.
"I am quite clever.
Don't insult us both by forgetting.
The way you do your hair, your clothes, the law school ambitions, it all screams 'I don't
want to be like my mother.'
Which, if your mother is a superheroine, probably means that you are also desperate to not be
one of...us."
"I'm not," she whispers.
"I dare say that if you have no desire to, then you won't be," I agree.
I lean forward to impart my great secret.
She's the first I've told and I don't know why I'm sharing it.
Only, perhaps, that it will make her less miserable.
"Here is something they never tell anyone: if you don't use your powers, if you don't
flex that extra little muscle in your grey, squishy brain, it will not develop.
It will atrophy and die.
Why do you think there are so few of us now?
Nobody wants to be a hero."
"Really?" she whispers, awed, hatred draining from her face.
"Really," I say.
"Especially after the sort of example your mother set."
Rachel rocks back again, the furious line between her eyebrows returning, and yes, I
recognize that, too, have seen that above a red domino mask before.
"Why do you say things like that?" she asks, hands thrown skyward in exasperation.
She winces.
"Don't rip your stitches, my dear," I admonish.
"Don't change the subject!
You wouldn't talk about the Kamelion Kid that way, or Wild West, or...any of them!
You'd have respect!
What about The Tesla?
You respect him.
I've seen the pictures on your wall and you—why are you laughing?"
And I am laughing.
I am guffawing like the bawdy, brawling youth I resemble.
"Because I am The Tesla!"
She rocks back on her heels, eyes comically wide and then suspiciously narrow.
"But you...Prof killed The Tesla."
"In a sense, he did."
Her eyes jump between me and the door to my lab—the only door locked to Rachel—and
back to me.
"You were a hero first."
"Yes."
"And it didn't work, did it?" "...no."
"Because people...people don't want to change.
Don't want to think."
"Yes.
My plans would have been good for society.
Would have forced changes for the better.
But people just want a hero to keep things the way they already are."
She looks at her law textbook, which rests exactly where I had left it the night before,
propped on the toaster oven.
"So you made it look like The Tesla was dead."
"Heroes can save the world.
But villains can change it, Rachel."
She looks up.
"I think I want to hate you, Olly, but I can't figure out if I should."
"It's okay if you hate me," I say.
"I won't mind."
"Yes, I think you would," she says.
She flattens her right palm over her left shoulder.
We sit like that for a long moment.
I forget to count the seconds.
Time flies when I am around Rachel, and I find that I am beginning to enjoy it.

DIY Video Marketing, #15 Edit: Edit Flow | by Clock Wise Productions - Duration: 3:54.
Alright.
So, how are you going to survive and edit.
And there's actually a work flow, that will help you stay organized and focused and will
prevent you from having to go, backtrack, and fix things that you have already done.
So, the first thing you wanna do, is you wanna create some folders.
And you wanna have a main folder where the projects goes into.
Especially when you are outside of the phone and on a desktop software.
The desktop software needs to refer to somewhere to get the files and once you have established
it you can't move them anymore and you can't rename them anymore.
So, setting up the file structure right from the get go will save you a lot of headache
down the road.
So have a main file that is the name of the video you are producing, or the project that
you are creating and then give it four folders.
One for raw footage, one for assets: stuff like graphics, music, etc., one for the project
itself, and one for the outputs.
The finished videos, the different versions you will create.
That's step number one, and then you create the project within the software and the first
thing you want to do is import your raw footage and lay down the track.
And when I say lay down the track, what I mean is, in the instance of this video I know
that the meat of the video is me talking, so I will lay that in and I will edit that
first, so I know what the beginning and the end of the video is, and what's in the middle
and I will make sure that that is all in.
And once I have locked picture.
Meaning I have decided that that is what I want, then I'm importing the music, the graphics,
and any kind of slides or photos, or what ever goes in else.
And depending on whether it's something where it's very snappy and quick, you want to put
the music in first, then bring the graphics in, so the graphics can be cut to the music
if the music is just a bed that just happens to be there to give it little bit more of
an emotion, or a sound bed I will put the graphics in first and then put the music as
a bed in.
The last thing you do, is the transitions.
And the reason why is that, when you change anything at all, and some times - you know
- yes, this is what I'm going to say, yes, this is all done, but then when I start adding
the graphics, mmm let me snibble a bit here, let me move this over a bit there, and at
the moment I do that, my transitions get lost and I have to redo them.
So, as tempting as it is to immediately make all the nice fades, swipes, and whatever it
is you're using, do those last.
And then, the one thing I've stopped doing: I used to have a fade up at the beginning
of a video.
I don't do that anymore.
Because - especially - if the video goes on social media, if it's just hanging there and
you cannot put in a custom thumbnail, meaning a custom photo that becomes the image of the
video - it will sit on black.
Because that's the first frame.
If you fade up from black, the firs frame is black.
So, I now start with a hard cut which is just what ever, where ever I am, hopefully smiling
at the beginning of the video.
That is my first frame now, no longer a fade up.
You can fade out at the end, but not in the beginning.
And it's worth it to just get all the graphics out of the way in the beginning.
I actually pre-produced my graphics, like for a series like this, where I have 20 videos,
I've pre-produced all the graphics upfront, but for the last couple of videos, where I'm
- let me see where this goes - I might change a titles, I'm not going to go too far into
it, but essentially, I pre-produced all the graphics.
And, then I have them in one place and I can keep pointing to them and it just makes live
much easier.
So, if you are using a slightly different workflow, or you have comments on the workflow
I recommended I would love to hear from you in the comment section below, and don't be
shy!
Talk to you soon! Ciao!

Cairns via Adherton Tablelands (Episode 13) - Duration: 4:12.
In the previous episode of The Travel Freaks' adventures we were on Magnetic Island with our bicycles
In this episode you'll see what we did afterwards on our way to Cairns
Our first stop was Girringun National Park
Here is Wallaman Falls - the highest single-drop waterfall in Australia
With water pouring down
After that we went to Mission Beach to spot a cassowary
Guees who pooped
But the only thing we found was its poop, so we had to take a picture of that instead
Then we went to the beach for a couple of hours before we continued our road trip
via the most beautiful detour in Australia - Adherton Tablelands
Our first stop here was the intrance to Paronella Park
A castle that the spanish immigrant José Paronella built in 1935 to his beloved Margarita
We couldn't afford to enter, but instead we saw our first warning sign
about the dangerous crocodiles that inhabit most water holes in Northern Queensland
On our onward journey we got stopped by trains full of sugar canes every now and then
But all the other stops we had
were at beautiful waterfalls where it was possible to go swimming WITHOUT crocodiles
We are now in the rainforest
It's just so pretty
Then we arrived to Cairns where Mads did a lot of flow riding
Or he was surfing on an artificial wave and had a blast
And I myself had to leave Cairns and go to winter cold Victoria to work at a carrot farm for my 2nd year visa
So while Mads had a great time in Cairns
was hanging out with good friends from Castaways Backpacker Hostel
Went hiking
went on festivals
with art, culture and concerts
All I did was working everyday
packing carrots all day long
In a ghost town which is best described as the asshole of the earth
Once upon a time it was possible to get a coca cola in there
And over here it used to be possible to get your car repaired
It's over now
And if you need a haircut ... then Nyah West is not the place to go.
The town is not completely dead - Look!
There is a car ... And there are actually living people too
Finally the day arrived when I got my 2nd year visa
So I went back to Cairns where Mads had been hired to participate in The UCI MTB World Championships 2017
You know... as a bicycle mechanic for the New Zealand team
We have done more than 1000 k since our last update
Which means that we still have a long journey ahead to get all the way around Australia
However, in the next episode we are stil in the same area
Because Mads did another job in Cairns for a few days and the payment was an Open Water Padi Course
Watch us dive in the Great Barrier Reef - and see if we make it - when we are back

State commission reveals fate of two unfinished nuclear reactors, but renewable energy ... - Duration: 1:45.
Though the survey showed more people would like the construction which has already begun
to resume.... it also revealed most support going nuclear-free in the long run.
So where does the nation's energy policy go from here.
Here's Lee Jeong-yeon with a closer look.
Several rounds of public debates and phone surveys over the past three months have decided
the fate of the unfinished Shin Kori 5 and 6 nuclear reactors.
(Stand-up) Although what's been decided is a "recommendation,"
it is considered the final decision as the South Korean government has repeatedly made
it clear that it will fully endorse whatever recommendation is made by the commission.
With that said, the focus now turns to the future implications of this verdict.
Experts say that the public survey was significant regardless of its results, in that it reaffirmed
what citizens want in the long run, which is to eventually phase out nuclear energy.
(Korean) "In the final poll, more than half the people
made it clear that they want cleaner sources of energy in the future.
So we can expect the sustainable energy policy to continue as it was recommended by the panel
and promised by the government."
The expert added that the government would also have to strengthen safety measures regarding
the nuclear reactors.
Local contractors and companies involved in the Shin Kori construction project breathed
a sigh of relief... but others view the decision as delaying the Moon administration's drive
to push forward with its renewable energy initiative.
Meanwhile, citizens who opposed the construction of the new nuclear reactors said that while
they regret the decision, they respect the public survey.
Pundits say that now the South Korean government will have to come up with a long-term plan
for energy policies that South Korean citizens can all agree on.
