Ted

Cruz Just CRUSHED Bernie Sanders With Five Shocking Words That Have Millennials Crying

'Democratic' Socialist and millennial darling Bernie Sanders (I-VT) met his match

in Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a televised debate on CNN Wednesday night.

Ted Cruz called out Bernie Sanders for who he really is- not a Robin-hood type taking

wealth from the rich and giving it to a poor, but someone who wants to take money from ALL

Americans for his redistribution scheme.

First Cruz began by asking Sanders the difference between his tax plan as a 'democratic'

socialist and the average Democrat.

Bernie then launched into his typical screed waxing quixotic about Scandinavia.

Here's a bit more of what he said, read closely because Cruz is going to crush him

in a minute:

"But here's what I think.

As a democratic socialist, Ted, similar to the people in Denmark and Sweden and Norway

and Finland…"

"I believe that in a civilized society, people, especially those on top, should be

asked to pay their fair share so that every man, woman, and child in our country can have

a decent standard of living."

Note how he said "especially those on top" should be funding all of society's welfare.

Later, Danish economist Jacob Kunk Kirkegaard asked Bernie a question and brought him back

to reality:

"I was born and grew up in Denmark.

And, you know, these are countries which — where the government spends — taxes and spends

approximately twice the level of the United States."

"…these are countries that heavily tax everybody, not just the rich people, middle

classes.

They have consumption taxes on everything of 20 percent."

Then he brought down the hammer:

"…my sense is still that you would like to spend as a Scandinavian but not tax as

one, is that right?"

Sanders admitted that, indeed, taxes would have to be raised substantially for his Scandinavian

model to exist in America.

Cruz then broke it down for everyone:

"You know, we just witnessed a very important moment in this debate, which is that Bernie

admitted that he wants to raise everyone's taxes, not just the rich.

The question was, to pay for this socialist state, you've got to raise everyone's

taxes, and Bernie said, yep, that's right, your taxes are going up.

That is a rare moment of candor in Washington."

The operative words here are "your taxes are going up!"

Something not many of his supporters might have thought.

But the tax raise won't just be for the rich- it will be everyone, and it will be

substantial.

Sanders' plan for a socialized America is a creepy pipe dream that is both ripe for

bureaucratic abuse in a country of 320 million people and totally at odds with American values.

Cruz just reminded the world and his millennial fan base that nothing the government gives

is "free."

How Would We Stop a Nuclear Missile? - Duration: 5:04.

[♪ INTRO]

For the last couple decades, nuclear weapons have mostly stayed out of the news, as the

Cold War has kind of started to fade to the back of our minds.

But they're back in the news now, and back on our minds.

Most of us are hoping that any threats are just empty threats.

But at some point you might start to wonder what would happen if there were a nuclear

missile heading for us.

Of course, the latest in military defense is classified.

Like any sort of defense, the more people know about it, the easier it is to circumvent.

But we do know a lot of the basics, and the good news is that an incoming nuclear missile

doesn't necessarily mean doom.

Because we have some options when it comes to the most important part of stopping an

incoming attack: hitting it before it hits us.

The only nuclear bombs ever used in a war were dropped from planes.

That could definitely still happen, but most people today aren't worried about planes.

They're worried about missiles.

Missiles are faster and harder to stop than planes, and some types can launch from pretty

much anywhere.

The most famous are Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, or ICBMs, which rocket into space

before speeding down at their target.

They can hit something halfway around the world within an hour after launch, and if

you're curious about the challenges involved in building one, you can check out our video

about that.

Other types of missiles are less famous, but each is designed to go a different distance

and carry a different amount of weight.

No matter what type it is, the best time to stop a missile is before it even launches,

so countries constantly use spy planes and radar and satellites to monitor each other

for any signs of missiles being prepared.

But sometimes, the first hint of a missile is the launch itself.

Missile launches are bright and hot, and the missiles stay hot while they're screaming

through the atmosphere.

So the US has a worldwide network of satellites on the lookout for unusually hot objects,

known as the Space Based Infrared System.

SBIRS and its predecessors have monitored missiles for decades, although its heat-seeking

eyes can track wildfires and watch volcanoes for signs of impending eruptions when there

isn't a missile to watch.

But if one sees a missile, you can /bet/ those other jobs go out the airlock.

Other countries have their own missile defense systems, but they pretty much all share the

same goal: making sure that if a missile is being launched anywhere, we know about it.

Once a missile is in the /air/, there's really only one way of stopping it: Hit it

with something.

Usually another missile.

It isn't ideal to have a nuclear bomb explode up in the atmosphere and rain fallout on the

world below, but that's still way better than letting it reach its target.

Plus, the nuke might not even explode when the rest of the rocket does.

A lot of modern bombs don't bring the explosive parts near each other, known as arming, until

they're about to land, to make sure that nothing goes wrong during the launch or the

flight.

So the nuke might be destroyed by the explosion, or it might end up like the unarmed hydrogen

bomb that accidentally fell into a North Carolina swamp in 1961.

Nothing happened when it landed, and its uranium core is probably /still/ fifty or so meters

beneath a farm.

To track their target, missile interceptor systems use radar and the same heat signature

that SBIRS uses, but hitting a missile with another missile definitely isn't easy.

It's like shooting a bullet with a bullet, except each bullet is moving six or seven

kilometers per second, and missiles are way more complicated to build, aim, and launch

than bullets are.

To make it even harder, missiles often carry decoy parts that fall off during descent to

distract defensive systems from hitting the real thing.

With so many factors to take into account, it's not too surprising that missile defenses

need a lot of testing.

But you don't want to test any defense too many times, even if it's not quite perfect.

To an outside observer, every test reveals a bit more about how it works — /and/ how

to get around it.

It's expensive, too: Each ICBM defense test costs tens of millions of dollars and takes

months to prepare for.

Altogether, the US is probably equipped to stop a couple dozen ICBMs at once, but it's

hard to know for sure because the military tends to not go around telling people exactly

how many missiles it would take to overwhelm our defense systems.

We /do/ know that single networks and groups of submarines in places like South Korea and

Japan are capable of tracking a hundred smaller missiles at once.

But even they aren't perfect; missiles are so hard to hit that it's next to impossible

for every interceptor system to stop every missile 100% of the time.

And military strategy is always evolving, so some places will end up less defended than

others.

But the military is always trying to develop new technologies to block those holes, and

one technology that was first imagined back in the seventies and eighties might make a

comeback: Lasers.

Back then, people figured that satellites with ultra-powerful lasers could overheat

and blow up missiles mid-flight.

It was incredibly impractical at the time.

For one thing, lasers powerful enough to overheat a missile from so far away just didn't exist.

But the American military recently announced it was testing laser-mounted drones for missile

defense.

Today's lasers are a lot stronger and smaller than those from decades ago, and drones could

quickly get within ten or a hundred kilometers of a missile without endangering lives.

Powerful lasers still aren't quite compact enough to be carried by a drone, but a laser

defense system might not be too far off.

Or maybe we already have one and it's just not public information.

Either way, generations of brilliant scientists and engineers have spent their careers trying

to make sure that no nuclear weapon ever hits another city, and we have their defense systems

in place.

Let's just hope we never need them.

Japan Topple Softballs Champions in Beijing 2008 | Olympics on the Record - Duration: 5:22.

Since the 1940s, there were many attempts to get softball

into the Olympic Games, but it took about 50 years

before it eventually happened.

Softball was finally put on to the calendar

for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

It probably won't surprise you to learn the United States won.

They won again in 2000.

And again in 2004.

Heading to Beijing 2008

and armed with an All-American, Jennie Finch,

home run record holder Crystl Bustos

and strike-out queen Cat Osterman,

the mighty USA softball team was ready to defend its crown.

The Americans were undefeated in 22 Olympic matches

and were looking to extend that record.

Japan, who had previously won a bronze and silver,

were desperate to go one better.

In order to overcome the mighty United States,

they needed someone special, someone awesome.

Someone like Yukiko Ueno.

In 2004,

Ueno became the first softball player to pitch a perfect game

at the Olympic Games.

Seven innings - no hits, no walks.

Ueno was recognised as the fastest pitcher in the game,

throwing fastballs at a terrifying speed of 126kmph.

126kmph?

Hmm. What is that in miles per hour, do you think?

I think that's...

FAST!

Everyone feared Ueno, but Team USA did not dominate the sport

by accident. They had their own star -

the greatest slugger in the history of women's softball.

Meet Crystl Bustos.

The Californian big hitter held the record

for the most home runs in Olympic history.

The proud winner of two Olympic gold medals,

Bustos had reserved a place on her ample arm

to mark a third consecutive victory.

Look how fierce she is.

Yeah, she reminds me of yo-...

Oh, erm, never mind.

The 2008 gold medal match -

the final final. Japan versus the United States.

The decision to end softball's status

as an Olympic sport gave extra meaning to the contest.

The game began with a two-inning stalemate.

No score on the board.

Japan finally got on the scoreboard

when Masumi Mishina just made it

to home plate.

In the fourth inning,

Eri Yamada doubled the advantage with a home run...

..which sprung Crystl Bustos into action.

She did her thing.

Boom! And Team USA were back in it.

In the bottom of the sixth, the US had a massive opportunity

to run up the score, with bases loaded.

The pressure was on Super Ueno.

A home run would put the Americans 5-2 ahead.

Not on Ueno's watch.

The pendulum swung in the other direction.

Megu Hirose made home plate, putting Japan ahead 3-1.

Back to Ueno. If she could shut out the Americans

in the final inning, the gold was finally Japan's.

Three outs were all that was required.

One.

Two.

One more out to go.

Got her!

In this clash of titans, Japan had inflicted a first,

and final, victory over the United States.

The queens of softball were dethroned.

Softball disappeared from the schedule after 2008.

Japan still reign supreme.

What did I read in the last 24 hours? || Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon WRAP-UP! - Duration: 9:19.

I'm tired.

Hi everyone, I'm Melissa and welcome to this new video!

Like I said in the previous video

this week-end there was the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon

from Saturday 21st to Sunday 22nd October.

In fact, the readathon has just ended and I'm so tired right now

I want to do a wrap-up of this readathon

and tell you how things went, what I read and what I think about the books I read.

I won't repeat what this event is about and which books I wanted to read

because I've already talked about all that in my previous video.

If you're curious, you can click on the link here!

So, let's start with how the event went.

In general, it was so so good!

I started reading at 2 p.m. because of time zones;

you weren't obliged to read for 24 hours straight, you could take breaks or go to sleep of you felt tired

but I tried to read as much as possible.

In fact I read for about 20 hours, with only 4 hours of sleep

because unfortunately yesterday I had an appointment and I had to get up early

so at 2 a.m. I was exhausted, I couldn't keep my eyes open and I decided to go take a nap.

I woke up at 6 a.m., I drank a cup of Earl Grey to stay awake and I started reading again.

During the event, another important thing is having snacks while reading.

I had a lot of snacks ready: biscuits, chips, fruit and so on.

I spent the whole day chewing basically.

At the end of the readathon I had finished three books for a total of 1165 pages.

Now I'll show you which books of my TBR I got to actually read.

Let's start!

The first book I read, started at 2 p.m. yesterday, was Battle Royale by Koushun Takami.

I loved this book, it blew me off.

It's a dystopian novel about a survival game, the precursor of The Hunger Games basically

as it was published in Japan in 1999.

It's about this survival "game"

played by a class of fifteen-year old students. They are brought to an island where they have to kill each other:

in the end only one student can win and stay alive.

It's a dystopia, so this game is organized by the government itself.

I couldn't stop reading;

I don't want to give too many details because I'm thinking of doing a complete review and I don't want to repeat myself (it's boring).

This book has about 600 pages,

so it take the whole day to finish it: I started it at 2 p.m. and finished at 1 a.m.,

I spent almost half of the readathon reading it but I'm so happy I did it!

It was definitely the best book among the three I read today.

After I finished Battle Royale, I took a 10 minutes break to recover from it

and then I tried to start The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton.

I "tried" to start it because after the first twenty pages I was basically asleep, so I closed it and I went to bed.

I started to read it properly in the morning.

I've wanted to read it for a long time and I had really high expectations for it. I wasn't exactly disappointed by it,

but I expected something quite different. I thought it was going to be something more introspective,

but in the end it remained quite distant from the characters and their feelings and thoughts.

It's still a nice novel, easy to read.

It isn't a fantasy book but there are some magic elements inserted in the real world.

From the same genre I've also read The Night Circus

and I didn't perfectly click with that either,

so maybe the magical realism isn't a genre suited for me.

I liked it, but it didn't blow me away. I want to think over it a bit more

because now the event has just finished and I'm reorganizing my thoughts,

so I want to dwell on this book a bit to see if I missed something at a first reading

and if there are some things I need to think over a second time.

As for the last book, which I read until the end of the readathon,

I finally managed to read My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga.

I liked this book too, even though it didn't blow my off like Battle Royale did.

There are some points that didn't convince me, speking of character development.

However, in my opinion this book approaches well

the themes of depression, suicide and all the negative feelings that stay around it

and it manages not to be too heavy or depressing.

The main character, whose point of view is used to tell the story, is quite ironic,

so it manages to be "light in its heaviness" (they are ugly themes in every case).

On the other hand, as I didn't, luckily, experience depression I can't judge if the novel describe it in "the right way"

or if it takes it too lightly.

However, as a person who has only an idea from outside of what someone feels

I think that, except for some passages that didn't convince me,

it's a good book and not too depressing.

My wrap-up ends here,

I read only three books out of five (seven if we count the graphic novels I have in digital editions).

It took quite a while to me to finish Battle Royale as it has more than 600 pages,

but I already knew I wasn't going to read ALL of them because it was humanly impossible.

I'm really satisfied, this readathon was a chance

to read something I've been dying to read for a while and also to add some books to the list of how many books I've read this year.

The next Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon will be on April 2018;

if you're interested, I suggest you to follow them on Facebook, Twitter or Goodreads

as there they'll put any announcement on where to sign up and so on.

Now I think I should go to sleep, because...

I don't know if you can see it but I'm half asleep,

so sorry if I'm so messy in this video,

but I really wanted to record and upload this video soon.

I think I blabbered enough, so I'll stop it now

and please stay tuned for the next video! Bye bye!

defense.

Today's lasers are a lot stronger and smaller than those from decades ago, and drones could

quickly get within ten or a hundred kilometers of a missile without endangering lives.

Powerful lasers still aren't quite compact enough to be carried by a drone, but a laser

defense system might not be too far off.

Or maybe we already have one and it's just not public information.

Either way, generations of brilliant scientists and engineers have spent their careers trying

to make sure that no nuclear weapon ever hits another city, and we have their defense systems

in place.

Let's just hope we never need them.

Ted Cruz Just CRUSHED Bernie Sanders With Five Shocking Words That Have Millennials Crying - Duration: 24:35.

Ted

Cruz Just CRUSHED Bernie Sanders With Five Shocking Words That Have Millennials Crying

'Democratic' Socialist and millennial darling Bernie Sanders (I-VT) met his match

in Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a televised debate on CNN Wednesday night.

Ted Cruz called out Bernie Sanders for who he really is- not a Robin-hood type taking

wealth from the rich and giving it to a poor, but someone who wants to take money from ALL

Americans for his redistribution scheme.

First Cruz began by asking Sanders the difference between his tax plan as a 'democratic'

socialist and the average Democrat.

Bernie then launched into his typical screed waxing quixotic about Scandinavia.

Here's a bit more of what he said, read closely because Cruz is going to crush him

in a minute:

"But here's what I think.

As a democratic socialist, Ted, similar to the people in Denmark and Sweden and Norway

and Finland…"

"I believe that in a civilized society, people, especially those on top, should be

asked to pay their fair share so that every man, woman, and child in our country can have

a decent standard of living."

Note how he said "especially those on top" should be funding all of society's welfare.

Later, Danish economist Jacob Kunk Kirkegaard asked Bernie a question and brought him back

to reality:

"I was born and grew up in Denmark.

And, you know, these are countries which — where the government spends — taxes and spends

approximately twice the level of the United States."

"…these are countries that heavily tax everybody, not just the rich people, middle

classes.

They have consumption taxes on everything of 20 percent."

Then he brought down the hammer:

"…my sense is still that you would like to spend as a Scandinavian but not tax as

one, is that right?"

Sanders admitted that, indeed, taxes would have to be raised substantially for his Scandinavian

model to exist in America.

Cruz then broke it down for everyone:

"You know, we just witnessed a very important moment in this debate, which is that Bernie

admitted that he wants to raise everyone's taxes, not just the rich.

The question was, to pay for this socialist state, you've got to raise everyone's

taxes, and Bernie said, yep, that's right, your taxes are going up.

That is a rare moment of candor in Washington."

The operative words here are "your taxes are going up!"

Something not many of his supporters might have thought.

But the tax raise won't just be for the rich- it will be everyone, and it will be

substantial.

Sanders' plan for a socialized America is a creepy pipe dream that is both ripe for

bureaucratic abuse in a country of 320 million people and totally at odds with American values.

Cruz just reminded the world and his millennial fan base that nothing the government gives

is "free."

15 Things You Should Never Do On A First Date - Duration: 7:06.

Brainy Dose Presents:

15 Things You Should NEVER Do On A First Date

Going on a first date can be exciting but nerve-racking at the same time, and there

are so many things to discover!

Is your date going to like you?

Are you're going to like them back?

Will they have good manners?

Is this person funny or boring?

And so on.

The simplest dating advice is "be yourself", and if your date likes you, than you're

on the right track.

Having said that, there are certain things you should NEVER do on a first date!

And if you want to make a good first impression, pay close attention!

Number 1 – Don't Be Late

You should always treat other people's time with respect.

Being late to your first date (or for that matter, anything else) is very disrespectful

and makes others feel like you don't value their time.

If you are running late, call and let the person know – preferably before you're

supposed to be there.

Number 2 – Don't Cancel At The Last Minute

As I've just mentioned, time is valuable.

If your date is already set, don't cancel at the last minute!

You wouldn't like it if someone cancelled on you at the last minute, so have some respect

and be sure to show up.

Number 3 – Don't Ignore Your Appearance

First impressions count, and you don't get a second chance to make one!

You don't need to change who you are, but it's important to present the best possible

version of yourself.

No matter how bad your day may be, never go on a date with dirty or lousy clothes on.

Take the time and effort to make yourself look presentable.

Number 4- Don't Have Your Phone Out

Texting or answering calls on a first date is one of the biggest first date no-no's!

It's rude, it's disrespectful, and it makes the other person feel as though they

are not as important as the person you are chatting with on your phone.

Facebook and Instagram can also wait till you get home.

Instead of being glued to your phone and texting your friends how great this person is, just

enjoy the moment - and keep your phone in your pocket or purse.

Number 5 – Don't Order Messy Food

Considering the fact that many first dates include a meal of some sort, it's best to

avoid certain items on the menu.

It's your first date, and you probably will be nervous, which means you're more likely

to be a bit clumsy.

And to avoid the possibility of wearing your clumsy mistake, be sure to order food that's

not messy… and save the wings or ribs for a later date.

Number 6 – Don't Neglect Your Breath

Remember, you're going to be doing a lot of talking and listening – hopefully.

Garlic is probably the worst when it comes to making your breath stink, but the principle

is the same with anything you put in your mouth.

Keeping your breath fresh is especially important if you plan to end your first date with a

kiss.

And while we're at it, it's important to mention that people normally don't enjoy

kissing an ashtray - so if you don't want to make your mouth smell or taste like one,

refrain from lighting up.

Number 7 – Don't Forget Your Manners

Poor manners such as swearing, picking your teeth or licking your fingers don't make

for a good impression.

This kind of behavior is not only disgusting, but a first date is simply not the time to

demonstrate how comfortable you are with yourself - it's a time to focus on the other person

(and hopefully not disgust them).

Number 8 – Don't Be Shy

Your date has agreed to go out with you, and that's because there is some interest on their

part.

So be confident and enjoy yourself!

While it's a good idea to keep talking to avoid awkward silence, make sure your

date gets the chance to talk as well.

At least once in a while, take a breath so your date can talk about their interests.

It's also wise to be prepared with some interesting questions to ask… to keep the

conversation going.

Number 9 – Don't Talk About Yourself Endlessly

This is another big dating mistake you need to avoid!

While having confidence in yourself is a very attractive trait indeed, try to let your actions

show your confidence.

Remember, this person doesn't know you yet, and talking about yourself non-stop might

make you come across as, well, a bit narcissistic.

And whatever you do, do not talk about your problems!

Whining and complaining to others, can be very annoying in general.

Dating is supposed to be a fun opportunity for two people to get to know each other.

So keep that in mind!

Number 10 – Don't Talk About Your Past Relationships

Talking about your ex on a first date is a huge turn-off.

If you feel the urge to talk about your ex, perhaps you're not over them and you shouldn't

be on a date to begin with.

A first date is also not the place to be asking about your date's past relationships.

These questions make for a very uncomfortable first date, so save them for another time…

leave the past in the past, and focus on the present.

Number 11 – Don't Talk About Marriage or Babies

Never talk about things such as getting married, meeting their parents or having babies on

a first date.

This is just fucking ridiculous, but some people actually do it.

Dating should be taken one step at a time, and talking about such things will only make

your date feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, if you do have kids, failing to mention this can seem a bit dubious and

dishonest.

Your date deserves to know what he or she is getting into, should they decide to pursue

a relationship with you.

Number 12 – Don't Overdo Compliments

While giving your date compliments is a great thing to do, overdoing it will make you appear

kind of desperate.

Let them know you're feeling the date by offering something that actually requires

observation, like commenting on their freckles or the sound of their voice.

Try to be as honest as you can, but never tasteless.

Number 13 – Don't Flirt With Other People

One of the most important things you should remember when on a date, is that you should

give the other person ALL of your attention.

Don't insult your date by not paying attention, and giving them the impression that someone

else deserves your attention more.

That's just rude.

Number 14 – Don't Expect That The Other Person Will Pay

While it is gentleman-like to have the male pay on a first date, never act as if you expect

it.

These days it's not uncommon to split the bill on a first date, so be sure that you

have enough money with you, so the bill doesn't catch you by surprise.

Number 15 – Don't Forget To Make Sure Your Date Gets Home Safe

Guys, be a gentleman and offer to drive your date home.

If you don't have a car, or if she doesn't feel comfortable getting in your car, at least

get her a cab or Uber to ensure that she gets home safely.

This simple gesture will not only earn you points and make you look good, but she will

take note of your thoughtful act and might just consider a second date!

The Rise of the Empath and the Narcissist - Duration: 4:44.

The Rise of the Empath and the Narcissist

It seems like every other day I am seeing an article on my Facebook feed about narcissists,

empaths and romances between narcissists and empaths.

Both empaths and narcissist are buzz words that people seem to be using more and more to describe themselves or people

they know.

What it is interesting is that I have observed that narcissist are like the shadow of the empath.

Whatever the light touches also casts a shadow, and I feel that both narcissists and empaths are one side of the same

coin.

What is a Narcissist?

Firstly, narcissism is a mental disorder, however today the term is being used more freely to describe people who most

likely are living from a place of extreme ego.

No one is born a narcissistic, it is a behaviour pattern that is developed over time.

Narcissists are described as being manipulative, lacking empathy, having split personalities,

being controlling and having a heightened sense of self importance.

On a deeper level however, perhaps the narcissist is an empath themselves,

but just can't seem to figure out how to handle all of their emotions.

This then results in them shutting out their emotions, feeding the ego and turning into a seemingly emotionless person.

Perhaps a narcissist has so much empathy that they don't know what to do with,

so it manifests as them displaying narcissistic tendencies.

What is an Empath?

The term empath is also being used more freely to describe people who are highly intuitive and extremely sensitive to

energy.

We are all intuitive and sensitive to energy to some degree, but empaths are here to light the way and to hold the

torch for other people to follow.

Empaths are here to increase our awareness to energy and that we are all energetic beings.

The same goes for the narcissist, they are simply holding the torch to expose the ego and how it can take over and make

the person seem almost inhumane.

Empaths and narcissist have always been around, but as our consciousness continues to evolve,

we are becoming more aware of these behaviour patterns.

Why Empaths and Narcissists Attract

If we look at narcissists who are empaths that simply cannot use their gifts,

then it would make sense as to why an empath and a narcissist would be attracted to one another.

Both the empath and the narcissist would recognize themselves in one another.

The empath would want to cure and help the narcissist and the narcissist would want to learn and perhaps even suck

energy from the empath as a way to cope.

Often we view the narcissist as a spineless villain who is out to take advantage of the empath,

but perhaps really deep down on a subconscious level, the narcissist is trying to understand how the empath has been

able to use their gifts.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the empath should tolerate or become a victim of the narcissists behaviour,

but perhaps this may explain why an empath would get sucked into this type of relationship.

On a deeper level, the empath can see the narcissists cry for help and guidance.

In this type of relationship, the empath is responding to something much deeper and below the surface.

There is no doubt that the empath is the narcissists greatest teacher,

it is just up to the narcissist to embrace the lesson.

But it is important to understand that it is not the empaths responsibility to change the ways of the narcissist.

For those empaths who have been or currently are in a relationship with someone displaying narcissistic behaviour,

it is important to understand that you are not responsible for healing them.

Only the narcissist can do that when they realize that they too are an energetic being that has been gripped by the

fear of the ego.

Just the same, the narcissist is most likely going to be the empaths greatest teacher as it will help to expand their

gifts and expose any self-limiting beliefs that are blocking the empath from living their life to the fullest.

Celeb Couples That Were Invented For The Press - Duration: 5:48.

Celebs are notorious for "turning it on" for the cameras.

But when their star-studded relationships seem to exist only on the red carpet, adoring

fans are left wondering what's real, and what's not.

Here are some of Hollywood's least convincing couples...

Kaley Cuoco and Henry Cavill

Just as Man of Steel came out in 2013, big-screen Superman Henry Cavill started dating TV star

Kaley Cuoco.

The actress claimed the attention took her completely by surprise, telling Cosmo, "I

had no one following me until I met Superman...There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until

like seven months ago."

But Cuoco was already the hugely recognizable star of The Big Bang Theory, while Cavill

was the relative unknown.

Their relationship lasted only 12 days.

Adding fuel to the mysterious coupling was the fact that Cuoco and Cavill were both represented

by the same PR firm, and that Cuoco immediately moved on...marrying Ryan Sweeting three months

later.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

Kim once made a grand, televised spectacle of her wedding to basketball pro Kris Humphries

in August 2011, but that union hit the skids just 72 days after the vows.

In a reaction statement after the divorce news broke, Humphries said, "I love my wife

and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce."

But Kardashian, on the other hand, seemed to have the drama all planned out.

With her marriage on the rocks and all of it already captured on the yet-to-be-aired

Season 6 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she told People, "It will probably be the

best season yet."

Maybe the perpetual self-promoter was trying to make the best of it, but the reality star

boosted her show's ratings and reportedly made $2 million dollars on the event.

Win-win for Kim.

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn

Coming off the heels of her ugly split from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston conveniently found

herself in the arms of her co-star from The Break-Up, Vince Vaughn — just in time to

promote their movie!

What a coincidence.

Curiously, they took forever to confirm their relationship, and somehow managed to keep

a super low public profile, while rarely being photographed together despite being two of

the biggest stars in the business.

Long after the relationship ended, Vaughn told Playboy, "For me personally — and I

think most well-known actors who are together feel this way—I never enjoyed the paparazzi

side of it.

You like someone and you're spending time with them; that's separate and that was all

fine."

The two called it quits after a year, or in industry terms, "just until the rental and

DVD sales start to dip."

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian

Ever since the birth of their daughter Dream in late 2016, we've been wondering just how

authentic Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's relationship really was.

First off, Chyna filed paperwork to legally change her name from Angela White to Angela

Kardashian almost the instant her relationship with Kardashian went public.

Second, the duo very quickly spun their romance into a reality show à la Keeping Up with

the Kardashians.

Third, after giving birth to Dream, Chyna reportedly bolted from the house she and Kardashian

lived in, only to chalk the whole thing up to "her Instagram getting hacked."

But all of this had been heavily promoted for their show.

Relationship-for-ratings?

Seems plausible.

Jennifer Lopez and Drake

Was it a hot fling?

Or just one giant internet troll?

That's what people are still wondering about Drake and Jennifer Lopez' alleged hookup,

which reportedly lasted only a few months but still dominated practically every tabloid

headline in Hollywood.

Of course, the rumored couple did very little to squash the rumors.

Only later, when Lopez confirmed she was making music with Drake, did people begin to roll

their eyes.

Lopez continued to play coy through February 2017 when she admitted to Ellen:

"That moment, what was happening?"

"We were just hanging out."

"Woo!"

But by March 2017, she had apparently had enough, telling The Daily Show's Trevor Noah,

"Let me clear this up…

I am not with Drake."

"YES!"

But it wasn't good news for Noah after all.

According to People, Lopez was linked to New York Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez the day after

the interview aired.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Tabloids have run wild over the years, with speculation that Kristen Stewart and Robert

Pattinson were together just to promote the super-successful Twilight movies.

Of course, it's not like the couple didn't offer any hints along the way.

Perhaps most famously, Stewart was caught cheating on Pattinson with her married Snow

White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, in 2012.

She also didn't do herself any favors when she admitted to T Magazine in 2016 that hers

and R-Pat's "relationship was made into a product."

She told the magazine, "People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that...it wasn't

real life anymore.

And that was gross to me.

It's not that I want to hide who I am or hide anything I'm doing in my life."

Renee Zellweger and Kenny

Few random celebrity hookups have raised more eyebrows than Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney,

who eloped suddenly in May 2005, only to split a few months later, when Zellweger cited the

now-infamous term, "fraud," in her divorce papers.

In a statement to People, Zellweger quickly clarified that "the term 'fraud' as listed

in the documentation is simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."

Still, that didn't stop the tabloids from wondering whether that confirmed the rumors

that Chesney was actually gay.

Speaking to the Advocate in 2016, Zellweger revealed, "It made me sad that somehow people

were using that as a way to be cruel and calling someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful

consequences.

Of course, there's the bigger-picture problem of why anyone had to make up a story at all."

And yet, when the marriage was brought up in the first place, she said, "I forgot about

that.

It's a pretty big thing to forget, isn't it?"

EP064: Comic Book Origins - The Magdalena - Duration: 8:13.

[Main theme]

Hello everyone!

And welcome to an all-new episode of MajestiComic.

In the past, we have brought you videos on The Darkness and The Angelus, as well as their

offspring, the Witchblade.

Today, we bring you another of Top Cow Productions' most famous figures: a fierce female warrior

called The Magdalena.

Created by Malachey Coney and Joe Benitez, The Magdalena first appeared in The Darkness,

Issue number 15 in June of 1998.

She has appeared in many other comic lines as well, such as Witchblade, Tomb Raider,

and Vampirella, and she has even had two of her own solo lines.

While she is often compared to The Darkness, The Angelus, and The Witchblade, though, The

Magdalena is one of the only major characters in their universe who is not possessed by

an ancient force.

Instead, she is descended from one.

In biblical times, it was believed (in spite of what many staunch Catholics believe) that

Jesus Christ may have been married to a woman named Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene was believed to have been one of the only women who followed Jesus on his

travels with his apostles, and she is mentioned more often in the Bible than any of those

twelve male apostles.

Her presence has always been controversial in the church, because many say that, in spite

of the fact that she is now considered to be a saint, she was a repentant prostitute,

or a wayward woman who was promiscuous.

In Top Cow's story, though, regardless of what her past might have been, Mary Magdalene

was married to Jesus Christ, and not long after he was crucified and rose from the dead,

she bore his child, a daughter named Sarah.

Sarah was the first in a long line of what would become known as The Magdalenas, women

trained by the Catholic church and the Knights of Malta to be warriors who protect and serve,

not just the church, but humanity as well.

Every generation there is a new Magdalena, who takes over after the previous Magdalena

dies in battle.

For over two thousand years, this mantle has been handed down from daughter to daughter,

and these women have fought against supernatural entities that threaten our world.

Aside from being skilled in combat, The Magdalena is endowed with a very special gift.

She is able to look deep into the heart of a person, and to show the person what she

sees there.

This allows them to acknowledge their sins, and gives them the chance to repent them.

Overseen by both the Catholic church and a secret society called The Inquisition, The

Magdalena uses this gift to save people.

And if that doesn't work, she is also armed with an artifact of incredible value and power

– the spear that was used to pierce Jesus' side when he was crucified, called the Spear

of Destiny.

While the Inquisition works to erase all traces of each Magdalena from history, there are

three main Magdalenas who help shape the world of Top Cow's The Darkness and Witchblade.

The first of these three is Sister Rosalia, who was sent by the Inquisition to investigate

what she was led to believe was a coven of evil vampires in France.

These vampires were thought to be responsible for the deaths of many people, but when Rosalia

arrived and met with them, she discovered that things were not as they seemed.

These creatures were not the vampires from scary storybooks, they were just people who

had a terrible disease that made society shun them.

These vampires did drink blood, but only from willing victims.

Rosalia, as The Magdalena, saw that they were not really evil and tried to help them, but

before she could, The Garduna, agents of the Inquisition, came and attempted to kill the

vampires.

Rosalia was then forced to fight against her own employers, who ultimately killed her.

It was hinted, though, that perhaps she had been infected by the vampires' disease,

and would rise three days after her death, just as her ancestor, Jesus, had done.

Long before Rosalia died, though, the continuation of the Magdalena bloodline was ensured when

she gave birth to a daughter named Mariella.

Mariella was the product of a rape that Rosalia suffered as a teenager, and she had been being

trained for duty by the Church when her mother died.

She was sent out into the field before her training was complete, and thus was not battle-ready

when she began her first mission: to kill Jackie Estacado, the wielder of The Darkness.

During their battle, Jackie broke the Spear of Destiny, dealing a devastating blow to

the Magdalena.

Even though some other sisters from the order came to help Mariella fight The Darkness,

the Darkness won out, and the spear was lost.

Jackie then crucified all of the women who had come to fight him to make an example out

of them, and left them for dead in the church.

Somehow, though, Mariella survived, and later went on to face the opposing force of The

Darkness, the Angelus, to get back the spear she had lost.

This time she was successful, and the Magdalena line continued on.

The current Magdalena, Patience, is much different from her earlier counterparts.

Created by Brian Holguin, Patience grew up in a convent, but escaped not long before

her official training was set to begin.

An agent named Kristof was sent from the Inquisition to find her, and he eventually tracked her

to New York, where she was living with a homeless girl named Rowan.

Until she met Rowan, Patience knew nothing about the world outside of the convent.

What she learned, though, made her even more reluctant to trust Kristoff when he appeared

on the scene to tell her about her destiny as the Magdalena.

The two fought, and Patience's powers manifested for the first time.

Although she hadn't had any training yet, she was more than a match for Kristoff, a

highly-trained captain.

Their battle ended in a draw, and Kristoff explained Patience's destiny to her.

At first, she was having none of it, but soon found herself embracing said destiny when

Rowan was kidnapped.

Kristoff then became her mentor, instructing her in the ways of the Magdalena, before he

took her to where the now-broken remains of the Spear of Destiny lay.

Using a drop of her blood and her own incredible powers, she returned the spear to its original

state, and proved, not just that she was worthy of being a Magdalena, but that the power had

never come from the spear – it had come from inside the woman wielding it.

Armed with the weapon that was her birthright, Patience heads to Prague, where she tries

to stop a ritual in which her friend Rowan is being used as a human sacrifice.

She soon discovers, though, that it was all a trick, and that Rowan was being used to

lure the Magdalena there so that her spear could be stolen for an ancient ritual.

Over the course of this mission and others, Patience discovers that the Church is hiding

more than it is revealing to her, and that maybe her destiny is not to serve them, but

to serve other people who need help.

The Inquisition is corrupt as well, so she only works with them from time to time, unlike

some of her predecessors.

Patience is extremely strong as the Magdalena, and some of this strength comes from her independence,

and her ability to think for herself instead of just following orders from the Church,

The Inquisition, or others.

This particular Magdalena appears in several other famous comic book stories as well, and

associates with the likes of Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider, and Sara Pezzini, wielder of

the Witchblade.

She is even present to help protect Sara from The Angelus when she gives birth to the child

she concived with Jackie Estacado, wielder of The Darkness.

The Magdalena has existed for many centuries and touched many lives, so it is no wonder

that her story weaves its way throughout all of these other tales.

Unlike The Darkness, The Angelus, or The Witchblade, The Magdalena chooses her own destiny, driven

only by the forces inside her own mind and body.

She is no longer just a guardian for the Catholic Church, she is a protector of the human race,

and she will fight to her last breath to keep hope and humanity safe from harm.
