I found this note, nailed onto a tree on my front lawn.
I really don't know how to describe it.
I'll just let you read it yourself
I saw you today.
It was your birthday.
You didn't see me, you hardly ever do these days.
.
Your skin looked so nice and healthy, and your eyes, they were the most beautiful I'd
ever seen them.
You've grown so much.
I remember how you different used to look when you were younger.
I remember the day I first met you.
It was four years ago.
I was sitting on my desk, head down, listening to the teacher rattling off names for attendence.
The teacher called out a name I didn't recognize, and a stranger's voice answered behind me.
Was there a new student?
The teacher didn't pause for a second, just continued calling out name after name.
I turned my head to where the voice had come from.
I saw you, a pale thing, so thin, your eyes so red, at a seat that should have been empty.
I saw the fireflies flying around you, flickering.
Dozens of them, never straying far from you.
I saw them going through you, and coming out through your skin, like you were a mist to
them.
Can you believe I thought you were a ghost?
No one else seemed to acknowledge the new stranger sitting at the back of the class.
Class after class, hour after hour passed as I waited for something to happen.
For someone to notice you, for you to leave, for you to let out a ghoulish scream and claw
at me like in the horror story I was certain I was in.
But nothing happened .
Teachers came and went.
My classmates laughed and slept, and you just sat there.
The bell rung for recess.
The other kids ran to their mundanities for the day, leaving me and you together in the
empty classrom.
You stood up and pulled a chair from the desk next to you, making it face your desk.
You turned your head to me and spoke
"Well you're slow today.
Come on.
Ask me your questions"
I don't know why I didn't run away screaming at that moment.
Probably would have turned out better for me in the long run, but let's not speculate.
I guess, at that point in my life , I was pretty bloody lonely.
I figured there was only a 50-50 chance you'd eat me and the other 50 was that someone wanted
to talk with me.
Kid priorities don't make sense to me either these days.
So I went along with the flow.
I walked over to your desk, sat down on the chair you pulled for me, and asked my question.
What were you?
You told me you didn't know.
You said that once you were a child, just like me, with parents and friends.
You used to go to the same schools as me.
Then, one day, one ordinary day, when you were ten, you just woke up and you were like
this, covered in fireflies and no one could remember you the moment they concentrated
on anything else.
No one, not even your parents.
You told me of how I'd notice you, everyday.
How I'd think of you until recess everyday.
How I'd come to you everyday.
How we would talk, everyday.
How we would meet for the first time, everyday, for the last three years.
About how I'd forget the instant I walked out of the room.
How everyone would forget you.
How the fireflies would make them.
How for the last three years, you'd been alone.
Your story was very hard to believe.
So I didn't.
I asked what reality prank show I was on.
You looked, well, unimpressed, and asked me to continue telling my story.
I was caught off guard by the non sequitar.
You said last time I was here, I was telling you a story, a horror story about a haunted
house
As you detailed the story, goosebumps prickled my skin.
It was a story I'd been making up in my head.
A story I hadn't told anyone yet
At that moment, a million reactions were open to me, all simultaneously adequate and inadequate
. But the only thing that seemed proper was to finish the story for you.
So I did.
Halfway through, you interupted me to ask if my mother HD recovered from her sickness
yet.
I had to shake my head, a bit ashamed at the fact that I shared this private matter to
a stranger.
The story ended a few minutes before recess.
My next class was in another room
You told me to go.
Your steadiness took me back.
You seemed so.... accepting of your fate.
Like you'd already gotten used to the idea of being forgotten forever
I was a kid back then.
I wasn't a particularly smart kid, and I was probably on the onset of a crush.
So you can excuse what I did next as an example of my childhood stupidity.
I grabbed my scissors, pressed it against my arm's skin, and dug in.
As it drew blood, I pushed it forwards, till the cut forms the shape I wanted.
Letter by letter, I carved your name onto my arm.
Just so you up know, I don't regret that.
Don't get me wrong, kid power might have made me do it, but it sure as hell didn't make
the pain go away.
It was one of the most painful experiences of my life.
But even then as a kid, I thought what was happening to you was unfair.
I remember how your eyes looked when you saw that.
The confusion.
How strange it was for you, that anyone would want to remember.
I remember that look so clearly.
When I woke up the next day and saw your name on my arm, I remembered you.
I didn't forget.
That day, for the first time, we had a conversation that wasn't so one sided.
You said no one had ever done anything like that before and suggested I might have a mental
illness . I won't deny it, that drew a little blood.
As we talked, a creeping thought came into my head, Did you prefer it when I didn't remember?
That night, I was sitting up on my bed, staring at your name on my arm, wondering if I should
cover it up so I couldn't see it and give you back your privacy, when I heard a crash.
I looked up to see my bedroom window shattered and a dirty rock on my floor.
I looked out of the cracked window, to see a dark figure on my lawn.
You were outside yelling, about how we should hang out.
It took me a while to get used to how bad you were at talking to people.
Years without practice, made you a quite a bit rusty.
That was all right.
We had a lot of time.
For the next two years, we spent the most of our free time together.
Most of the time, we talked.
You'd tell me an aspect of your life and how you lived.
You still stayed in your old house.
Your parents never noticed the food gone missing, never noticed the extra room, and you'd stolen
the extra keys
One night, I confided in you, that I was beginning to think you were a part of my imagination,
Fight Club style.
After all, what could you do to me that I couldn't do to myself?
You spent the next month or so trying to leave bite marks on my ear or neck, to prove a point.
I still have some on my ear, so I guess you did.
Looking back, I could see the warning signs even then.
Your skin seemed to get worse and worse, paler and paler, and you'd rub your eyes raw.
It was in winter we had our wake up call.
The morning began like any other.
I woke up, brushed my teeth, and started searching for clothes to wear.
It was a winter morning, and my room was dark, so I didn't see your name on my arm,
The cold sent shivers through my body, and pulled out a long sleeve jacket.
A small bell rang in my head *Don't you usually roll your sleeves up?
* Yeah and why did I?
That l
I finished tidying up and headed to school.
On the school bus, I felt oddly content, like something I'd been worrying about had just...
disappeared.
I walked up the school stairs, down the hall, through my class door, and sat down on my
desk.
The same feeling of a burden forgotten hounded my mind.
What was I forgetting?
When recess came, I started came, I just sat at my desk, while my class mates ran out.
It felt like a ritual , but I didn't know what for.
I was contemplating just walking out to join them, when I heard it.
It was something small in the wind, like a whisper, but it came over and over, incessant.
It sounded like my name.
I knew this was strange, that this was worth my attention, but I felt oddly calm.
Everything would be alright, everything would be fine, just ignore it.
I sat there on my desk, my mind a war zone between two conflicting, contradictory, voices,
when I felt a force tugging on my sleeve.
The moment I noticed this, my jacket sleeve tore open.
I saw your name on my arm, and then your hand that had ripped my jacket open.
You'd been yelling at me for over 20 minutes
I think that was the moment we realized how on edge our friendship really was.
One accident away from complete erasure.
We spent the most of the next year in the town library together, trying to find out
what the fireflies were.
It wasn't really a problem for me.
Because of my mother's treatment, my family couldn't afford to go on any trips, and our
house didn't have heating anymore, so I was happy to spend my time with you.
Trying to find information was a puzzle in and of itself.
After all, how would I read about people I couldn't remember and how would you find out
who was special when no one could even remember enough about them to record them?
We found out old family trees and records.
Individually, we'd write down the name of everyone in the book on two lists and then
we would compare.
The names I hadn't remembered to write down, but you had, would become the focus.
They were the names who were under the curse of the fireflies
We compiled a list of 'suspicious' books.
Books we though could help us, because they were written by or were about the people we
were searching for.
I'd read the books, with the list of names side by side, reading it again for every page
of the book.
You'd sure the internet on the library computers , for articles about the people.
Our search would lead us to the first glimpse we got of what was really happening to you.
It was late at night when you found the picture.
I was a bit drowsy at that time, and almost about to nod off when I heard a sharp intake
of breath.
I turned to see you standing up, pointing at the screen
I didn't see anything.
Well, anything noteworthy.
On the screen was a picture of a clearing somewhere in the woods
You held up your piece of paper where you'd marked out two names.
Susie Applebee-Reagan, 13
Terry Applebee-Reagan, 12
Siblings
For a moment, I saw the paper and the screen side by side
Side by side.
And then I saw them.
Two figures, emerging from the woods, towards the camera.
They were almost humanoid, but all five limbs stretched to nightmarous porportions.
Blank white skin, pure albin that looked more like tree bark than anything on a mammal.
A cloud of fireflies surrounded the duo.
The shorter one looked emaciated.
I could see the ribcages around which their.
Their eyes, God, their eyes.
So small, so red.
The longer one with their white hair, didn't look alive anymore.
They were just skin wrapped around skeletons.
Their empty eye sockets had fireflies swarming out of them.
Bothreaching for the camera man.
I looked at the article surrounding the picture.
It was a blog post by hiker, twenty years after the two kids had been written about
last.
The picture was a mystery to the camera man as well.
He'd been wanting to go to the woods pictured for a while now, but he never actually remembered
going there.
The picture had just appeared in his camera one day, out the blue.
For a moment, I looked at your face.
Your thin pale face, with those red veined eyes.
Would that be you when my scar faded?
Just a walking horror I'd glimpse, then forget?
We worked through our reading list at a much faster pace starting from that moment.
Maybe we should've gone slower.
At least every book, every website we'd left untouched promised hope.
The books we finished and tossed aside promised nothing but the clearing in the woods as your
future.
And we tossed aside a lot of books.
I believe I tore through three fourths of my reading list before I stumbled across the
journal.
Oh God, that horrible, horrible journal.
The journal used to belong to a mental patient, named Joey, who claimed to be a serial killer.
He was locked up in an asylum when the police discovered his supposed victims never existed.
He was 'diagnosed' with a need for attention, and shoved away.
They should have electrocuted him.
They should have fried him until his flesh melted and his hair burned.
In the journal, he talked about how he carried out his killings.
He knew things, bizarre and disturbing things no one else knew.
He knew of strange creatures that lived in the woods.
Of them, his favorite were the fireflies.
I'm not going to tell you how he summoned these things.
I trust you, I trust you more than anyone, but a thing like this belongs to the ground
more than it ever will to the human mind.
It's sufficient enough to know that, these things were not fireflies.
Joey would start his ritual by taking a kid.
Any kid, anyone he'd liked.
He could take them at any time, the dead of night in their own homes, or in broad daylight
on their front yards
It didn't matter if he was seen.
He'd take them to his house and drag them to a room.
Usually, an Amber Alert came up around now.
He didn't care.
Like I said, it wouldn't matter soon
He'd drag them to a special room in his house.
Here the fireflies would come and latch onto them.
Now, nobody was searching for the kids.
Not the police, not the parents.
Nobody
From then on, he could do whatever he wanted to the kid.
He'd get bored of them after a day or two, after the child had broken.
And then the kid would go too.
Hacksaw, kitchen knife, anything would work
He detailed a large pit of bodies he kept in the woods, swarming with the bugs.
I guess he got bored of that too one day, so one day he went right to the police station
and turned himself in.
Not of guilt, nonono, he just wanted someone to know about the stuff he was doing.
Sick fuck.
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
He never stopped killing kids.
The asylum doors didn't stop him from doing what he liked.
It just made him improvise.
He made a new way.
He modified the flies, so they could survive without a host, just in a dormant state.
When a child (he specified the age) would approach the swarm, it would latch on and
begin its effect.
Over the years, the child would warp horribly into the things we saw in the woods
I wish I could hate him in peace.
I wish I could say the world owed him nothing.
But that wouldn't be true.
He detailed a way out.
On the final page, was an exact explanation on how to get rid of the fireflies
You must have seen something in my face, at that moment you asked if had I found anything
I said no and closed the book
A few minutes later, you shut down the computer.
You picked up the last book and went through it yourself.
When you reached the end cover, you tossed it aside.
I asked what we should do now.
You said it was alright.
I could go home.
We'd talk about it in the morning
I stood up and walked past the shelves of books.
I headed for the library entrance, butstopped right outside the door and waited.
I waited until I heard the sniffling sounds
I sneaked back to our table, where you were quietly sobbing.
You had your head in your hands.
I sat back down, as you raised your eyes to me.
You said you wished you'd never met me.
How happy you were when you had nothing to lose.
How I ruined your life.
You'd never really gotten better at talking to people.
That was the worst love confession I'd ever heard
I remember how we kissed that night.
I remember your hands gripping my hair.
I remember that kiss.
I wish it could've been just a kiss.
I'm sorry I ruined that moment.
When my arms were around you, I was close enough to steal a firefly without you noticing.
I remember holding the fireflies in my hand.
I remember how it struggled, until it didn't.
Until it was a part of me.
The fireflies shifted.
They came over me, and left you.
I remember the familiar look in your eyes.
The confusion.
I never wanted to see that confusion in your eyes again.
You deserved to be loved and you deserved to know that.
I wasn't really living anyway.
You reached for me.
I pulled away,as the last lights of recognition faded from your eyes.
And then you were just staring at a stranger, walking away into a crowd of strangers.
That was a year ago.
You've gotten so much better since then.
You have so many friends now.
So many people at your birthday party.
You also look so much healthier.
I haven't been as fortunate
My skin's gotten a lot paler, and my eyes hurt all the time now.
I couldn't go to school like you did all those years.
I haven't wasted my time though.
I found Joey's pit.
The bodies, there were so many bodies.
There's a grave for those children now.
Without me, my mom could afford her surgery.
She looked so happy.
Just yesterday, I saw her playing with my baby brother.
I saw you crying yesterday.
You were with your friends, laughing.
For a brief moment, your eyes met mine, and then, they were so wet.
I think I'm going away.
For good I think.
You're not going to be happy if I stick around.
I'm so happy I met you, even if you don't remember me.
Note end
Sometimes I go through depressive episodes.
I feel so lonely, even with my friends.
I don't know what's going through my head during these times, and sometimes I'd end
up in a bath tub, a knife in my hands and my wrists bleeding.
Uptil now, I thought I was cutting my wrists.
I wasn't.
The cuts, they're letters.
I've been carving a name onto my arm.

Hello, We are Atomian Tube.
We always share good things with good friends.
Happy sharing with everyone is
better than having it alone.
Friends tried yummy food,
they will be highly recommended with us.
You read a good book,
you will introduce it to your friends.
We actually know how to share with others
when we were young.
These are just simple happy sharing
and have not produced any economic value.
We can make sharing
become more powerful and more valuable.
I want to share one thing with you ,
called "Sharing Economy".
"Sharing Economy"
can "reduce expense, increase income".
Atomy gives consumers the opportunity
to use good products.
When consumers use good products,
they can achieve "saving money"
+ "making money" at the same time.
I want to share with you about my daily life case:
I am using the "Atomy dish detergent",
one bottle can be used in my house for over six months.
Due to it is highly concentrate ,
it only takes one drop to wash all the dishes and pots.
One bottle for using over six months,
really helped me to "save money".
Every product of Atomy has point value,
and the points can be accumulated for money.
Therefore, when I order daily necessities
at Atomy online shopping mall,
I am also "making money" at the same time.
The happiest thing is that Atomy dish detergent
has taken care of my family's "health."
This is natural detergent that extracted
from natural plant citrus
and has 30 times the vitamin C of lemons.
The following is more specific description
of the economic value of sharing:
"Sharing Economy" means that
consumers can participate in the distribution of profits
through "sharing" while spending money.
For example:
A, B, C are all members of Atomy (Free membership fee)
A bought coffee (got 3900 own points),
B likes coffee and wants to buy
Through A's information sharing,
B bought coffee (got 3900 own points)
B also shared this information to C,
C bought coffee (got 3900 own points)
Except having 3900 own points,
A also got points for B and C.
B got own points 3,900 and got the points from C.
C got 3900 own points.
Through sharing and connecting with others,
the come out value is "Sharing Economy."
When you drink good coffee,
you feel good,
and you will feel want to share it with others.
Friends drink good coffee,
the mood will be very good as well,
and you will be happy they like.
When you think about others and help others,
if others are happy,
you will also feel happiness.
This makes "sharing" the most valuable.
This is also the most proud moment for
being Atomy consumers.

Most of the time, we talked.
You'd tell me an aspect of your life and how you lived.
You still stayed in your old house.
Your parents never noticed the food gone missing, never noticed the extra room, and you'd stolen
the extra keys
One night, I confided in you, that I was beginning to think you were a part of my imagination,
Fight Club style.
After all, what could you do to me that I couldn't do to myself?
You spent the next month or so trying to leave bite marks on my ear or neck, to prove a point.
I still have some on my ear, so I guess you did.
Looking back, I could see the warning signs even then.
Your skin seemed to get worse and worse, paler and paler, and you'd rub your eyes raw.
It was in winter we had our wake up call.
The morning began like any other.
I woke up, brushed my teeth, and started searching for clothes to wear.
It was a winter morning, and my room was dark, so I didn't see your name on my arm,
The cold sent shivers through my body, and pulled out a long sleeve jacket.
A small bell rang in my head *Don't you usually roll your sleeves up?
* Yeah and why did I?
That l
I finished tidying up and headed to school.
On the school bus, I felt oddly content, like something I'd been worrying about had just...
disappeared.
I walked up the school stairs, down the hall, through my class door, and sat down on my
desk.
The same feeling of a burden forgotten hounded my mind.
What was I forgetting?
When recess came, I started came, I just sat at my desk, while my class mates ran out.
It felt like a ritual , but I didn't know what for.
I was contemplating just walking out to join them, when I heard it.
It was something small in the wind, like a whisper, but it came over and over, incessant.
It sounded like my name.
I knew this was strange, that this was worth my attention, but I felt oddly calm.
Everything would be alright, everything would be fine, just ignore it.
I sat there on my desk, my mind a war zone between two conflicting, contradictory, voices,
when I felt a force tugging on my sleeve.
The moment I noticed this, my jacket sleeve tore open.
I saw your name on my arm, and then your hand that had ripped my jacket open.
You'd been yelling at me for over 20 minutes
I think that was the moment we realized how on edge our friendship really was.
One accident away from complete erasure.
We spent the most of the next year in the town library together, trying to find out
what the fireflies were.
It wasn't really a problem for me.
Because of my mother's treatment, my family couldn't afford to go on any trips, and our
house didn't have heating anymore, so I was happy to spend my time with you.
Trying to find information was a puzzle in and of itself.
After all, how would I read about people I couldn't remember and how would you find out
who was special when no one could even remember enough about them to record them?
We found out old family trees and records.
Individually, we'd write down the name of everyone in the book on two lists and then
we would compare.
The names I hadn't remembered to write down, but you had, would become the focus.
They were the names who were under the curse of the fireflies
We compiled a list of 'suspicious' books.
Books we though could help us, because they were written by or were about the people we
were searching for.
I'd read the books, with the list of names side by side, reading it again for every page
of the book.
You'd sure the internet on the library computers , for articles about the people.
Our search would lead us to the first glimpse we got of what was really happening to you.
It was late at night when you found the picture.
I was a bit drowsy at that time, and almost about to nod off when I heard a sharp intake
of breath.
I turned to see you standing up, pointing at the screen
I didn't see anything.
Well, anything noteworthy.
On the screen was a picture of a clearing somewhere in the woods
You held up your piece of paper where you'd marked out two names.
Susie Applebee-Reagan, 13
Terry Applebee-Reagan, 12
Siblings
For a moment, I saw the paper and the screen side by side
Side by side.
And then I saw them.
Two figures, emerging from the woods, towards the camera.
They were almost humanoid, but all five limbs stretched to nightmarous porportions.
Blank white skin, pure albin that looked more like tree bark than anything on a mammal.
A cloud of fireflies surrounded the duo.
The shorter one looked emaciated.
I could see the ribcages around which their.
Their eyes, God, their eyes.
So small, so red.
The longer one with their white hair, didn't look alive anymore.
They were just skin wrapped around skeletons.
Their empty eye sockets had fireflies swarming out of them.
Bothreaching for the camera man.
I looked at the article surrounding the picture.
It was a blog post by hiker, twenty years after the two kids had been written about
last.
The picture was a mystery to the camera man as well.
He'd been wanting to go to the woods pictured for a while now, but he never actually remembered
going there.
The picture had just appeared in his camera one day, out the blue.
For a moment, I looked at your face.
Your thin pale face, with those red veined eyes.
Would that be you when my scar faded?
Just a walking horror I'd glimpse, then forget?
We worked through our reading list at a much faster pace starting from that moment.
Maybe we should've gone slower.
At least every book, every website we'd left untouched promised hope.
The books we finished and tossed aside promised nothing but the clearing in the woods as your
future.
And we tossed aside a lot of books.
I believe I tore through three fourths of my reading list before I stumbled across the
journal.
Oh God, that horrible, horrible journal.
The journal used to belong to a mental patient, named Joey, who claimed to be a serial killer.
He was locked up in an asylum when the police discovered his supposed victims never existed.
He was 'diagnosed' with a need for attention, and shoved away.
They should have electrocuted him.
They should have fried him until his flesh melted and his hair burned.
In the journal, he talked about how he carried out his killings.
He knew things, bizarre and disturbing things no one else knew.
He knew of strange creatures that lived in the woods.
Of them, his favorite were the fireflies.
I'm not going to tell you how he summoned these things.
I trust you, I trust you more than anyone, but a thing like this belongs to the ground
more than it ever will to the human mind.
It's sufficient enough to know that, these things were not fireflies.
Joey would start his ritual by taking a kid.
Any kid, anyone he'd liked.
He could take them at any time, the dead of night in their own homes, or in broad daylight
on their front yards
It didn't matter if he was seen.
He'd take them to his house and drag them to a room.
Usually, an Amber Alert came up around now.
He didn't care.
Like I said, it wouldn't matter soon
He'd drag them to a special room in his house.
Here the fireflies would come and latch onto them.
Now, nobody was searching for the kids.
Not the police, not the parents.
Nobody
From then on, he could do whatever he wanted to the kid.
He'd get bored of them after a day or two, after the child had broken.
And then the kid would go too.
Hacksaw, kitchen knife, anything would work
He detailed a large pit of bodies he kept in the woods, swarming with the bugs.
I guess he got bored of that too one day, so one day he went right to the police station
and turned himself in.
Not of guilt, nonono, he just wanted someone to know about the stuff he was doing.
Sick fuck.
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
He never stopped killing kids.
The asylum doors didn't stop him from doing what he liked.
It just made him improvise.
He made a new way.
He modified the flies, so they could survive without a host, just in a dormant state.
When a child (he specified the age) would approach the swarm, it would latch on and
begin its effect.
Over the years, the child would warp horribly into the things we saw in the woods
I wish I could hate him in peace.
I wish I could say the world owed him nothing.
But that wouldn't be true.
He detailed a way out.
On the final page, was an exact explanation on how to get rid of the fireflies
You must have seen something in my face, at that moment you asked if had I found anything
I said no and closed the book
A few minutes later, you shut down the computer.
You picked up the last book and went through it yourself.
When you reached the end cover, you tossed it aside.
I asked what we should do now.
You said it was alright.
I could go home.
We'd talk about it in the morning
I stood up and walked past the shelves of books.
I headed for the library entrance, butstopped right outside the door and waited.
I waited until I heard the sniffling sounds
I sneaked back to our table, where you were quietly sobbing.
You had your head in your hands.
I sat back down, as you raised your eyes to me.
You said you wished you'd never met me.
How happy you were when you had nothing to lose.
How I ruined your life.
You'd never really gotten better at talking to people.
That was the worst love confession I'd ever heard
I remember how we kissed that night.
I remember your hands gripping my hair.
I remember that kiss.
I wish it could've been just a kiss.
I'm sorry I ruined that moment.
When my arms were around you, I was close enough to steal a firefly without you noticing.
I remember holding the fireflies in my hand.
I remember how it struggled, until it didn't.
Until it was a part of me.
The fireflies shifted.
They came over me, and left you.
I remember the familiar look in your eyes.
The confusion.
I never wanted to see that confusion in your eyes again.
You deserved to be loved and you deserved to know that.
I wasn't really living anyway.
You reached for me.
I pulled away,as the last lights of recognition faded from your eyes.
And then you were just staring at a stranger, walking away into a crowd of strangers.
That was a year ago.
You've gotten so much better since then.
You have so many friends now.
So many people at your birthday party.
You also look so much healthier.
I haven't been as fortunate
My skin's gotten a lot paler, and my eyes hurt all the time now.
I couldn't go to school like you did all those years.
I haven't wasted my time though.
I found Joey's pit.
The bodies, there were so many bodies.
There's a grave for those children now.
Without me, my mom could afford her surgery.
She looked so happy.
Just yesterday, I saw her playing with my baby brother.
I saw you crying yesterday.
You were with your friends, laughing.
For a brief moment, your eyes met mine, and then, they were so wet.
I think I'm going away.
For good I think.
You're not going to be happy if I stick around.
I'm so happy I met you, even if you don't remember me.
Note end
Sometimes I go through depressive episodes.
I feel so lonely, even with my friends.
I don't know what's going through my head during these times, and sometimes I'd end
up in a bath tub, a knife in my hands and my wrists bleeding.
Uptil now, I thought I was cutting my wrists.
I wasn't.
The cuts, they're letters.
I've been carving a name onto my arm.

I Can't Dream On | Cover by Lucky Adnan - Duration: 2:16.
We walk on the shore
You're holding me so close
Seems forever the wind blows
Carry us and the dust it disposes
We were sure
We're sailing through
Those days all past
These days will pass
I cannot linger on
I cannot dream on
Tick of the clock
Where my soul is locked
I cannot linger on
I cannot dream on
You kiss me so gentle
Like the sun warms the sand
But the night comes with
This longing I withstand
We were sure
We're sailing through
Those days all past
These days will pass
I cannot linger on
I cannot dream on
Tick of the clock
Where my soul is locked
I cannot linger on
I cannot...... dream...... on

Trump agrees to reopen government for three weeks after backing down from wall funding demands - Duration: 2:35.
We begin our top story this afternoon over in the U.S.
President Donald Trump has agreed to reopen the federal government after a five-week shutdown.
Congress passed a bill to normalize government operations,... although it remains a temporary
deal for now.
But it doesn't mean President Trump has given up on trying to secure funds for a border
wall,... with discussions over the matter far from over on Capitol Hill.
Our Cha Sang-mi starts us off.
The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has finally come to an end,... at least for
the time being.
President Trump agreed to reopen the federal governement Friday local time, backing down
after a 35-day stalemate... which didn't get him the billions of dollars needed to build
a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Saying he has a "very powerful alternative" that he is not going to use at the current
time, Trump warned... that another shutdown or even a national emergency could be in store
if Congress does not agree to fund the border wall.
"We really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier... (cut) If we don't
get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on February 15, or I
will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and Constitution of the United States
to address this emergency."
Following his remarks,...
U.S. Congress passed a short-term spending legislation to fund the government... and
allow federal workers to return to work until February 15th.
The shutdown first began after Trump had demanded 5-point-7 billion U.S. dollars to build a
border wall... amid Congressional disputes over the issue of border security.
"Over the next 21 days, I expect that both Democrats and Republicans will operate in
good faith."
Lawmakers will negotiate border security funding during the three-week window,...
and while nothing is clear, both parties expressed optimism that a deal could be struck.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also told reporters she was "optimistic" and said she sees every
challenge or every crisis,... as an opportunity to do the right thing for the American people.
Some 800-thousand federal employees will now get back to work and receive their wages starting
next week.
Questions have also been raised about Trump's postponed State of the Union speech,... now
that the government is reopening,... but no firm date has been scheduled yet.

Battle of the Ports - Hang-On (ハングオン) Show #255 - 60fps - Duration: 11:38.
Hang-On was legendary game designer, Yu Suzuki's first big hit.
It was released by Sega in 1985.
Hang-On was one of the first arcade games to use 16-bit graphics and Sega's "Super Scaler"
technology that allowed pseudo-3D sprite-scaling at high frame rates.
It also introduced the motion-controlled arcade cabinet, that corresponds with the bike's
movements on screen.
The arcade game contains in-game billboards for Bridgestone, Shell, Garelli Motorcycles,
TAG, John Player Special cigarettes, Forum cigarettes, and for "Marbor", an obvious parody
of Marlboro cigarettes.
The first port we are going to take a look at is for the Sega SG-1000.
This is actually called Hang-On II but it's actually just normal Hang-On and not a very
good port.
The SG-1000 wasn't really suited to fast 3D like games as you can tell but it should
have been able to do better than this.
Rather than a game of Hang-On this is more like a game of ice skating due to the way
your bike slides all over the place.
It's also incredible tough.
The fact that a mere tap to an opponent's bike will make you explode doesn't help
either.
The second port we'll take a look at is for the Sega Mark III / Sega Master System.
This is basically an upgrade of the SG-1000 version complete with the slightest knock
resulting in an explosion.
However unlike the SG-1000 game, this port is really good.
It plays extremely well.
So well that I can finish the game and the second loop without too much trouble.
I think you'll also agree with me when I say it's quite a smooth looking game too.
And to think that this was given away free with most of the early Master Systems in Europe
as the built in game.
I was hoping that the MSX would have an original port but sadly it's how I thought it would be.
Yes, that's right.
It's the Sega SG-1000 game ported to the MSX.
It's basically the exact same game but now with a little added slowdown here and there.
Not much more to say really.
While the MSX is based upon the Sega SG-1000, the PC-88 port is based upon on the Sega Master
System.
Sadly this port is quite the joke.
While it starts off with a cool wire frame Hang-On logo it soon falls apart.
It kind of looks like the master System game however everything to the sides of the tracks
flickers like buggery.
The sky, score and timer are all made from ASCII characters too which looks messy.
The biggest and quite honestly mind blowing issue with this port are the track segment
lengths.
They consist of a straight, 3 or 4 bends then another straight.
That's it!!!
I crashed a dozen times due to the keyboard only controls yet still finished the game
with 40 seconds on the clock!!
How about that for easy?
As most of us know, Hang-On for Dreamcast can be found in Shenmue however we are not
looking at the Shenmue version even though this is based upon it.
This Dreamcast port can be found on the Yu Suzuki Game Works disc.
It's the same game as the Shenmue version but now we have options.
As you can see the Dreamcast port is very close to the arcade original as it should
be.
Lovely 60fps and true analogue controls make this a great port IF you are good at the game.
I say this because the Dreamcast port even on the easy level setting is far more difficult
than the arcade on standard setting.
Maybe it's the over sensitive analogue on the Dreamcast controller or it really is set
to a higher difficulty setting.
And before anyone asks, no, I'm not going to cover the Hang-On versions found on the
original Xbox and that crap HD remake either since they are just using the Dreamcast code.

Guardiola tried mind games – but Liverpool won't be intimidated - Duration: 5:31.
Another game, another victory, another step forward in the race for the Premier League title
More than halfway into the season, Liverpool continue to set the standard that nobody, not even Manchester City, are able to live with at present
Arsenal were the latest victims, thumped 5-1 at Anfield on Saturday evening having had the temerity to score first
And the watching national media believe Jurgen Klopp's side are now showing all the hallmarks of a team that can last the distance
John Cross of the Daily Mirror writes: "At the final whistle, Jurgen Klopp leapt to his feet, marched over to the Kop and thumped his chest in delight
"The noise and excitement inside Anfield was overwhelming and the sense of anticipation grew among fans who believe that, finally, this will be their year
"It is only going to get stronger with every passing week but, while pressure makes some teams crumble, Liverpool rose to Saturday night's occasion against Arsenal and embraced it
"This match was all about Liverpool, who showed they are ready to carry the fight and are not in the least bit intimidated at having the extra pressure of being leaders
Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will start in 8Cancel Play now "Pep Guardiola tried to use mind games this week by insisting it is tougher to be the hunted rather than the hunters
If the Manchester City boss thought that would work on Klopp then he was sadly mistaken
" Oliver Holt, writing in the Mail, believes fortune is favouring Liverpool right now
"There is still a long, long way to go and Manchester City, who Liverpool play at the Etihad on Thursday night, are far too good for anyone to pretend that the title race is going to be anything other than a hell of a fight," he scribes
"Liverpool have fallen away before, as their detractors will continue to remind them in the weeks and months ahead
"But there is a curious feeling that the chips are falling Liverpool's way. Before the game, the stadium announcer read out with relish the news of Tottenham's defeat by Wolves at Wembley, and Liverpool and Arsenal fans alike filled Anfield with cheers
"Liverpool have not played at their fluent best many times this season and yet they remain unbeaten
" Sam Wallace of the Telegraph couldn't help but be impressed by how Arsenal were savagely dismissed
"The question is whether Liverpool can last the ride now to make history," he pens
"If the clock ticking on the club's 19th league championship is to stop at 29 years in May, then they will have to break the resolve of those challenging them
"By the end it was hard to remember that Liverpool had initially fallen behind, for the first time at Anfield in the league for almost a year
They came roaring back with a hat-trick from Roberto Firmino and a goal each for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane
"Guardiola will see that Arsenal play a much inferior version of the City model and yet he can hardly ignore the fact that Liverpool ripped their opposition to shreds
" Finally, Neil Jones, formerly of this parish and now at Goal.com, believes this is a Liverpool side to cherish
Follow all the reaction to a remarkable Liverpool victory here "Unstoppable? They are right now," he says
"While their enemies flounder, unable to keep their composure and their consistency, Klopp's side just keep on clearing hurdle after hurdle, ramping up the pressure each time they do
'A long way to go,' their manager continues to warn, and rightly so, but what a football team he has built
"Twenty games, 17 wins, three draws, eight goals conceded, 48 scored, 54 points
This, in terms of points per game, is the best calendar year in the club's history; 88 points from 37 league matches
Staggering."

like that before

that monsters power was that the Rizzo Mata for me likes you
a monster that consumes air just what was that creature it did seem different
from other monsters somehow yen s for sure it also looked like it was staring
at us maybe it was wondering which of us to eat first it's looked into my eyes
for quite a long time actually how nice for you you must have thought you looked
the tastiest I don't think I'd call that nice
I just can't open
I never would have guessed there would be an air Crenn a and the wiesen of
kados me neither I guess nobody passing through ever noticed it it must not have
been putting out enough air until now for anyone to feel the effects sounds
right sure picked the perfect time to start going crazy
that was a serious pain well I was able to log a new discovery so it worked out
the end yeah so glad you enjoyed yourself so someone has one of those air
Crenn a you found Rita you explained I'm all ears
I've been participating in the conversation right
you
this one's pretty tough we must be cautious
you
easy
that's over
how did you
good work repeat looks like our little game of tag is over reggae then now I
have to show you my really real power
huh see that's what's been going on
what does this mean was he disguising himself as reggae I don't think we have
time to worry about the particulars right now
Oh me or my house Arabi frightening I don't know what I do if I would say end
up like poor ago
what do you mean what happened to him also found his body facedown a little
bit back and don't rest I just couldn't balance if I ended up
like that you know
Rico is dead but why
hey that's not for me to say maybe it sums it up tight for sure
oh not that way
Jagr the reinforcements have arrived gosh
the rest I Eve up to you
as you wish hi sir
watch
you
yeah
we need no succor from our enemies you're not gonna make fools of us
but with those injuries
let us withdraw bye for now
man this stinks where this smoke come from
they're throwing our canine friend here off the scent as long as we put up with
the smell we'll be fine but I can't stand that
smell we're going after them
Oh what is with this heat we've passed through the caverns and come out on the
other side of the mountains so you mean those are the sands of qug
or Wow we made it all the way there the sands
of qug or Pharaohs here
I am going on to meet Darrell
wait we can't just let you go alone I mean our job right now is to protect
you Wow we did get the stolen box back right
yeah I guess we can't just keep chasing him around all right we'll take care of
him next time hold on are you seriously going do you
know what you're saying this is a desert it's hot people die here get it I'm
ready for it I think
the desert is divided into three regions huh
the foothills to the west the center where its hottest and the massive Peaks
to the east hey hold on there's a town between the
end of the Western foothills and the central area
where did you hear that I went there with a friend once it's a
nice town built up around an oasis we'll hold off on any major decisions until we
get there then
sounds good to me Paul Draven wouldn't be able to think straight till he cools
off what are you gonna do Patti what's that treasure you're searching for Maris
Stella wasn't
well I can't guarantee you'll find any clues in that town though
don't worry as long as there are people I'm sure they'll be clues
well there are people living there then I'll be joining you
mereta I know we'll make that our first
destination
I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that reggae was gagauz
alter-ego this spells out the connection between ruins gate and leviathans claw
pretty clearly and that Jaeger was the boss of both guilds isn't it kind of
early to say that for sure it is possible that the reggae we met was just
Jaeger putting on a show maybe the real Regas often some ruins someplace just
digging away happy as a clam we're gonna have a hell of a time if it's really
that complicated I don't know maybe I'm just puzzling over it a little too hard
we'll have to keep at it until we get to the bottom of this mess
you
a corner cat becomes a lion
it seems like a pretty sleepy town well in this heat there are nights even here
though I don't recall seeing such intimidating people here the last time I
came all right I'm off to search for clues about the treasure bye bye for now
you're leaving oh so you want me to stay a little longer eh well it's been fun
and all but I'm sure Patty's got things she needs to take care of be careful out
there
all right shall we each go our own way for now one for that before I do
anything I want to give these feet a rest okay then let's meet up in front of
the inn after sunset okay see you then
no easy thing looking out for everybody else well I think we all could use a
little time to think things over the kids are all right
I wouldn't think the Knights would bother coming all the way out to a
border town like this more power to if they're really here to
defend the public order or whatever but something tells me there's more to it
than that
hey old man sorry to have dragged you all the way out here well what's with
that face hearing you apologize like that puts me a little bit on edge is all
you still have to deliver that letter tube Elias right yeah but if I can't see
her until the new moon and that's that ain't it till then I'm at the mercy of
the princess's whims well well aren't you easygoing you sure about that
if we spend too long out here and you miss the new moon the Donald yell at you
for sure I'm used to being yelled at if I gotta wait I can wait until the next
new moon ain't like we're gonna run out of new moons anytime soon you certainly
sound patient you sure about this of course patience is something you learn
with age I swear Wow making the right decisions is part
of being an adult - I'll leave as soon as I feel like I have to anyway let me
travel with you kids for a while longer sure whatever you want oh where are you
off to nowhere in particular just going on a walk what about you
where were you going I just wanted to get a look at the desert terrain we were
going to be headed into next it's good to be prepared so how was it it was hot
for how I assumed as much but it wasn't as hot as I thought it
it'd be hmm well okay but what I wanted to know was if Faro is out there right
that'd be nice oh well I guess we couldn't expect him to be that easy to
find
what you want to go out and check for yourself no that's okay if we head out
to look for him we should do it together oh I see
Yuriy hey why the long face the desert really is dangerous if they say I don't
think Rita Jo around with such a serious look on her face yeah I guess not
I've dragged all of you all the way out here you should stop worrying about all
of us huh I mean we're just doing what we feel like doing but what about you
what do you want to do hi you were saying that you need to figure out who
you are weren't you yes that's true but Estelle your bravest areas client if you
tell us to go somewhere we'll go there
and if you tell us to go for you will find Pharaoh and drag him back here URI
then I there's no need to rush to give me an answer
take your time
you're still here are you feeling lucky and came to find me isn't the reason
that you've been wandering around here because you're the one who's lonely and
wanted to see me marry me I'll consider it when you're an adult who are you just
an acquaintance of hers a frank husband
well whatever I got the info about the Maristella that you wanted I appreciate
that but first is it true that your eye Fried's granddaughter it's a rumor I
heard is it true hmm so it is true if that's the case then I can't give this
to you if it gets out that I did business with the granddaughter of a guy
who broke the guilds rules no one will trust me please I don't know about you
but for those of us who live in the world of the guilds i freed is the most
unforgivable guy out there I can't afford to be involved with someone going
around claiming to be one of his relatives so don't you show your face in
front of any of us ever again and if you pull anything on any of the members of
my guild out of resentment we're not gonna take it lying down
I can guarantee you you'll regret it if you think that world's cellar is no more
than a mapmaking guilt oh really in any case the blood of a coward who had
attacked sits while feigning to protect them runs through your veins I can't
even begin to guess what's running through your head
and as for you I don't know if you're really her husband but I'd suggest
steering clear of this one so you just take it all in silence huh I just don't
know whether he's actually my grandfather and what actually happened
in that massacre I don't know what's true and what's a lie whether he was a
villain or a saint all I know is that my grandfather was very important to me
that is why I can either admit or deny what people say so you don't even know
who you are yourself I know that much at least then wasn't
there something you could have said it's okay I'm used to people saying all sorts
of things about my grandfather I don't care about any of that nonsense I'll
just keep searching for treasure and rain on the way you're putting on a
pretty tough act you better not start crying once you're all on your own you
see my motto is no matter how tough the situation is crying get you nowhere well
I guess it's really none of my business still it's not like you can go treasure
hunting without any clues oh don't worry I've got clues later
you can't open that without a key I know are you really gonna return it yes I am
you got a problem with that nope you saw what happened to Norah Pollock ah this
thing made it so I couldn't control my magic the clear CL crystal inside this
box interferes with air somehow interferes with air how could a tiny box
like this do something like that I don't know that's why I wish I could have
opened this box somehow there's a good chance that we'd be able to find a key
for the box in your bin for me this doesn't have anything to do with this
tell wanting to return it anymore so then you're gonna look for the town
of you're armed in that was mentioned in a diary
yes if I can if you can I can't leave us now behind sure you can if you want to
I'd like to leave her behind but I can't
I've never had a problem like this before
why she couldn't be serious about going alone into the desert could she
I feel like my world is crashing down around me
I can't believe ruins Gabe was secretly selling weapons and that they were
smuggling them illegally out of ruins
sometimes you have to have shadow where there's a light I guess that's so sad
though
you don't need to worry about those guys just keep living your life the way you
know is right and Libre the sperry active victory with pride
yeah you're right anyway we need to worry about Pharaoh for now yeah we
finally made it into the desert it feels like we're almost there hey once we're
done with this commission you think we could go back to dawn grass for a bit
let's wait until we've wrapped up our current job to talk about that oh yeah
sure
Carol this is for you huh what's going on is still what's this this is payment
for your services I'm sure you'll be able to sell it for quite a sum I want
to thank you all for everything you've done huh what do you mean you haven't
found what you're looking for yet I'm afraid I must take my leave from you
here take your leave what are you gonna do you're not thinking of going alone
are you my desire to meet Ferro is a personal one are you crazy
that's way too dangerous which is why I must go alone I won't have the rest of
you caught up any further in my own selfish quest do justice and punish the
unjust huh oh right that's one of the laws of our guilt there's no justice in
letting Estelle march into the heart of the desert all by herself I don't think
I have it in me to break our laws how about you Carol right it seems those are
the rules I'm terribly flattered freely but I'm afraid I can't let you
estelle wait have you ever lost your marbles we're talking about a force of
nature here which is why we're all going together I'll admit I'm a little scared
but I can't just let us still go off like that you you talk some sense into
them if I start whining now I'll have to go all the way back to noir to Paulo
Cabaye myself right that's no fun oh
there's no reasoning with any of you are you sure you're dead set on this yes
I've thought a lot about this you all have something that's important to you a
goal you give everything to achieve I realized that I didn't have anything
like that for myself and I knew I had to find a purpose of my own something I can
dedicate myself to I made the decision to begin this journey and I have to
finish what I've started this this is something I have to do for myself okay
okay you win so we'll be aiming for the desert Center huh hey I tried talking
sense into you idiots Reeta there's actually no real need for
you to come Rita you've got your air credit research to worry about don't you
there's no telling what you idiots will get into if I don't keep an eye on you
the air cranny isn't going anywhere I'll go check up on it later but we're not
leaving until we've taken care of all our preparations I'm sorry to be such an
inconvenience to you all I think we had a pretty good idea things would turn out
like this from the start yeah thank you huh where's Judith
everything settled yeah well what did you decide we're going to the center of
the desert I had a feeling so I've made some arrangements the innkeeper has
agreed to help us we'll want to be good and rested before we leave this town
behind that's for sure you're always thinking about your next nap aren't you
yeah but I sleep so much better if I have a
little company
I wonder what Pharaoh will do oh my heart whoa whoa are you okay old man
it's just the sound of money gets this old heart racin stop the jingling would
you Carol uh-huh all right whatever I can't believe how
much gold we have I bet it would feel great to spend all this gold at once no
way we still need to save lots more huh sounds like you've got plans for the
future kid saving for a hideout for brave Vesperia you know I wasn't
thinking of that it's just that saving lots of money feels good you know you
know what they call that kid penny-pinching that's what there's no
use for ting your money for later you got to spend it all at once go wild
no no that's even worse you kids have got no sense of moderation all right old
man and what do you think we should do with it
just invest it in old Raven my secret guild knowledge I'll give you back a
hundred times as much
can we stay the night here hello welcome to the desert oasis man take what's
what's this night well will will you be staying the night yeah we're going into
the desert so we came into town to gather provisions and get some rest
first oh so it's you who wanted provisions for going into the desert you
know it's we know it's dangerous oh I see in that case I'll get your
provisions together before you set out your stay will cost 400 Galt is that
okay have a nice day

Super Bowl 2019 Prop Bets: Anthem, Halftime & Coin Toss | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:12.
Super Bowl 2019 Prop Bets: Anthem, Halftime & Coin Toss | Heavy.com
Those who aren't dedicated sports bettors likely would be shocked by how many exotic Super Bowl prop bets are available each year – and the number keeps growing.
The 2018/19 NFL season concludes on February 3 with Super Bowl LIII from Atlanta with the AFC champion New England Patriots as slight favorites on the Super Bowl odds over the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
What the Super Bowl does is draw in fans who don't even care about the game itself but are interested in betting a few dollars on pop culture they might follow.
For example, Atlanta native Gladys Knight will sing the national anthem at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
She's a seven-time Grammy winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Most millennials probably have no idea who the R&B legend is – ask your parents about Gladys Knight & the Pips.
Bettors can wager on how long Knight's anthem rendition will last.
She is given an over/under time of one minute, 45 seconds, with the over a -160 favorite.
Performers tend to stretch the anthem out because they will never sing in front of such a gigantic worldwide audience again.
Last year, Pink finished in one minute, 53 seconds.
She was the first under two minutes since Renee Fleming at Super Bowl 48.
The last under 1:45 was Kelly Clarkson at Super Bowl 46.
The halftime gig at the Super Bowl is a huge get for any artist because of the massive audience, and that's why the NFL doesn't even feel the need to pay (only expenses and such).
Maroon 5 is the primary halftime entertainment this year and the favored song to be performed first by the band is "One More Night" at +300.
Might surprise some to know how much action the annual Super Bowl coin toss takes.
Bettors want to build their bankroll immediately.
Both heads and tails are -105 at online sports betting sites – that's the result, not what is called.
Important designation as the visiting team gets to call the toss in every NFL game and that's the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.
New England's "coin-toss guy" is Matthew Slater, who always calls heads.
He did in overtime of the AFC title game and it proved crucial in the Patriots winning.
Slater also called heads and won the toss to begin overtime in Super Bowl LI when New England beat the Atlanta Falcons.
Will it be the Patriots' Bill Belichick or Rams' Sean McVay, the youngest head coach in Super Bowl history, to get the Gatorade shower after the win? Yep, there's a prop on the Gatorade color poured on the game-winning coach.
Lime/green/yellow leads the way at +225 on the Gatorade shower odds.
Yellow was correct last year when the Philadelphia Eagles won.

Arsenal 1-3 Man Utd RATINGS: Lukaku impressive, Cech disappointing - Duration: 5:51.
Manchester United reached the fifth round of the FA Cup with an entertaining victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium
United's players impressed in delivering Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's eighth successive win as manager, while Arsenal largely disappointed in front of their fans
Sportsmail runs the rule over the individual performances, and rates the players from Friday night's battle
Arsenal (4-2-3-1)Petr Cech - What is likely to be one of his last appearances as a professional ended in disappointment
5.5Ainsley Maitland-Niles - Looked nervous at the start but grew into the game. On the whole, an assured display
6.5Sokratis - Looked distraught as he limped off with a suspected ankle injury inside the opening 21 minutes
5Laurent Koscielny - Set for another spell on the sidelines after picking up a nasty looking facial injury
Booked. 6Sead Kolasinac - Nowhere to be seen as Lukaku set up Lingard's goal. Too liable to switch off
Booked. 5.5 Lucas Torreira - Chased shadows for long periods of the night. Missing the impact of his early season performances
6Granit Xhaka - Overpowered by United's midfield as the visitor's raced ahead, but eventually grabbed a foothold
6.5Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Scored but was too bogged down with defensive duties at the start
Seems wasted playing on the wing. 6.5Aaron Ramsey - Why are Arsenal let him leave for nothing again? Showed his worth again in brilliantly assisting Arsenal's first
7.5 Alex Iwobi - Saw plenty of the ball and tried his best to carry Arsenal forward
His decision making was lacking, however. 6.5Alexandre Lacazette - Fully involved in Arsenal's build up play but didn't have many clear cut opportunities
6.5Subs: Mustafi 6 (for Sokratis 21); Ozil 6.5 (for Iwobi 65); Guendouzi 6.5 (for Koscielny 65)Subs not used: Elneny, Lichtsteiner, Monreal, Leno
Manager: Unai Emery - Five defeats from 10 doesn't make happy reading. Arsenal are struggling for consistency
6 Manchester United (4-3-1-2)Sergio Romero - Two crucial saves as he made a rare appearance in David De Gea's absence
7Ashley Young - An alert performance from the veteran. Kept his wits about him as Arsenal threw caution to the wind
Booked. 6Eric Bailly - Seemed to be cruising through the night but looked like a rabbit in the headlines when Arsenal clicked into gear
6Victor Lindelof - Improving with every passing game. The Swede finally looks to have got to grips with English football
7Luke Shaw - Cool and composed at left-back. Brilliant marauding run in build-up to United's second
7Ander Herrera - Quietly went about his business in the congested midfield area. Kept the balling moving nicely
7Nemanja Matic - Knit United's defensive phase together. A typically disciplined display from the Serbian
7Paul Pogba - A subdued display and appeared to switch off for Arsenal's goal but still set-up United's third
6.5Jesse Lingard - Oozed guile in the No 10 position. A fine display capped with an excellently taken goal
7.5Romelu Lukaku - A telling contribution from the Belgian. Two direct assists. All in all, a pleasing night
8Alexis Sanchez - What a place to score his first goal away from Old Trafford. Written in the stars
7 Subs: Rashford booked (Lukaku 71); Martial (Sanchez 71); Jones (Lingard 88)Subs not used: Mata, Grant, Fred, DalotManager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Ed Woodward will have no option but to give him the job at this rate
Eight wins in eight. 7.5Referee - Craig Pawson: Why didn't he book Pogba for a clear dive having declined to give United a free kick? 5

Information - Steve St. Angelo: COPPER INDUSTRY CARNAGE – The Worst Is Yet To Come - Duration: 6:37.
As Steve explains why the copper price hasn't fallen yet, Steve says copper is likely to head lower as early as next week
Here's why… by Steve St Angelo of SRSrocco Report The second largest copper mining company in the world saw its stock price plummet by nearly 15% today due to poor earnings
Freeport-McMoRan's fourth-quarter net income fell nearly 90% compared to the same period last year
The large decline in net income was attributed to falling production, due to scheduled maintenance, and lower copper prices
Freeport-McMoRan's stock price (FCX) started trading in premarket after releasing its dismal earnings at $12
30 a share, and by the time the closing bell rang, the stock fell to $10.70. FCX lost a $1
86 in one day: According to the company's financial results, Freeport's net income fell to $140 million Q4 2018 compared to $1
04 billion during the same period last year. While it's true that the company's poor results were due to a decline in production, another reason was the lower copper price which fell to an average of $2
75 in Q4 2018 versus $3.21 in the same quarter last year. The copper price was trading at a high of $3
30 at the beginning of 2018 but has now fallen by more than 20% to $2.64. The drop in the copper price over the past year has negatively impacted Freeport's share price
FCX share price has fallen from nearly $20 in January 2018 to $10.70 as of the close on Thursday's trading (Jan 24th)
Freeport's stock price is shown in the candlesticks while the copper price is shown in the orange line
I didn't put a line in the chart, but if Freeport falls below the $9.50 level indicated by the arrow, it doesn't have any support below it for quite a while
Unfortunately for Freeport, my analysis suggests that the copper price is getting ready to take the next stage lower along with the broader markets
As I mentioned weeks ago, the copper price was stuck between two moving averages and would likely stay there until it fell below it substantially
On January 4th, the copper price was trading at $2.65, in between the 50 & 200 Month Moving Averages (MMA): If you look at the magnified view, you can see the copper price positioned between the RED LINE (5o MMA) and the PINK LINE (200 MMA)
Now, if we look at the copper chart on Jan 15th, see how much has changed: The copper price was at $2
63 but was still stuck between the moving averages nearly ten days later. While the copper price trades up and down during the day, it continues to close between the moving averages
So, let's look at the most recent copper chart done today. Who wants to guess as to where the copper price closed today? Well, look at that
The copper price is a penny more today than it was nearly ten days ago and it is still stuck between those moving averages
While the type of candlestick isn't a rare formation, we can definitely see the tug-of-war going on in the trading pits
Also, this was the same setup with the oil chart in December before the price fell
Interestingly, the oil price only remained between the moving averages for a week before it headed lower
However, the copper price continues to trade in the same place for nearly four weeks
I believe the reason the copper price hasn't fallen yet has to do with the strength of the broader markets as they recovered from their lows on Christmas Eve
The copper price will likely begin its next stage lower along with the broader markets within the next week or so
The carnage in the copper industry has only begun. If the copper price falls below the $2
08 level (300 MMA Orange line), shown in the chart above, then it can get very ugly for the copper mining companies who are just beginning to feel the pain

Jazz Trade Talk: Mike Conley & Otto Porter Deals That Make Sense | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:28.
Jazz Trade Talk: Mike Conley & Otto Porter Deals That Make Sense | Heavy.com
For the Utah Jazz, the upcoming NBA trade deadline presents an opportunity to shape their future and add to an already-strong roster.
The team isn't hiding the fact that they are ready and willing to make a deal.
And while quite a few names could make sense for the Jazz, we're going to take a look at two potential options who should remain on the radar of fans.
Earlier this week, The Athletic's Shams Charania pegged the Jazz as a team who have already shown interest in Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter.
If the Wizards opt to make a move at the deadline, it seems to be a safe bet that Utah has an interest in making an offer for the young forward.
Beyond that, The Athletic's Tony Jones also cited that the Jazz spoke with the Memphis Grizzlies about point guard Mike Conley.
This fit could be interesting, although Conley comes with a very large cap number over the next two seasons, which apparently doesn't bother Utah.
Beyond this year, the 31-year-old's deal features a cap hit of just over $32.5 million next year, followed by a player option for 2020-21.
After he hits 55 games played this season (or next), the $34.5 million-plus number for 2020-21 becomes fully guaranteed, as Spotrac details.
While both players are on the team's radar, we're going to take a look at how the potential Jazz/Wizards and Jazz/Grizzlies deals could look.

Jazz Include Ricky Rubio for Mike Conley.
While the pairing of Ricky Rubio and Derrick Favors is a decent offer for Mike Conley, I believe there's a good chance it winds up being more than what a number of teams propose.
Conley's contract makes things interesting, but the Jazz can make this work and would then have a core including the former Grizzlies star, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
A big selling point here for Memphis could be the angle that Rubio's contract would come off the books, so they have the option on how to approach their future at point guard.
Considering they're also interested in moving Marc Gasol and JaMychal Green's contract is nearing its end, adding Favors makes sense.
Jazz Trade for Otto Porter.
*Note: Jazz sends a second-round pick to Wizards.
This deal could require more than a second-round pick for Porter, but it depends on how the Wizards view his contract vs.
production.
Porter is a solid player who's flashed a decent amount of upside, but the Wizards are looking to create a bit more space and apparently build around Bradley Beal (and John Wall, possibly).
Favors is again included in the deal, and it's a piece that makes sense for a Washington team that's thin on the interior, especially without Dwight Howard.
Grayson Allen is a name who's been stuck on the bench in Utah for a few reasons, one of which is the play of Royce O'Neale it seems.
Allen is the wild card in this deal, and if the Wizards view him as a player who can contribute solid minutes and grow into a solid player, then this deal works for both sides.
