Genius of Britain - Richard Dawkins (1/4)

[SuperAsi666]

I love Britain!

[kougermasterz]

Britain has forgotten scientific contributions?! Ha! The most underrated country in terms of scientific accomplishment is Germany.

[10zerOne0]

"bytes" of "digital" information? -- feels like a computerized concept of life.. i would love to know what Dr. Dawkins thinks about the "life is a computer simulation" theory..

[themrworf1701]

this is not HD... :/

[StrelokNikitin]

who else thought for a moment that that guy at 1:25 is holding a lightsaber?!?!

[BlameRepublicans]

4 christians watched this video

[TMNTPIZZA]

@dawkinschannel can you make this available on mobile?

[sonykroket]

I love the UK

So much to see about it's rich scientific past.

Dawkins should be knighted

[TeeGeeFan]

@sonykroket Definitely :D

[sonykroket]

@TeeGeeFan

I'll even raise the stakes by saying he should get the Nobel-prize

[sonykroket]

@TeeGeeFan

I'll be moving from Holland to the UK in a few months.

I just love it there

[TeeGeeFan]

@sonykroket wow, brilliant!

[AznAndy9000]

Richard Dawkins is too modest, he is one of the greatest thinkers.

[Pyro25892]

Wow they did pull out the big guns didn't they; Hawking, Dawkins, Dr. Winston...

[purpurkatten]

Hey, this is not episode 4, this is episode 5.

Where is episode 4??

[MrBrooksGrant]

3:06 Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking in the same room! Intelligence Orgasm :D

[AtheistTower]

The collective IQ of Britain would go up if Dawkins simply left it.

[moviedude120796]

@AtheistTower up?

[Davidshonfield]

Good video. But it starts from the very unscientific proposition that the world 500 years ago was all misery and superstition. Some of humanity's greatest achievements date from before that time ("Yes, but what did the Romans ever do for us?") and most of them we owe to people who were "superstitious". The scientific revolution has brought us huge benefits but modern weapons of mass destruction are far more barbaric than anything Attila the Hun could have imagined.

[bluepikachuu]

Dawkins <3



[NanoHorizon]

What's the music at 4:40

[defiythelie]

I first thought dawkins was an elites asshole based on his books. but when you hear him explain in greater detail he is really a marvel.

[thechessstick]

@feanando I agree, Dawkins is a total coward. Why doesn't he debate Dr. Mastopaolo?



[Majidkb87]

I wonder at the people calling themselves Atheists and then also saying we are the best and we KNOW EVERYTHING.

You're all people of believers. You believe in EXAMPLES yourselves and not FACTS and LAWS. And you talk about having a substantial proof of God?

Oh yeah God says about people like you, that you have been stamped and will not understand. Keep coming up with your LOGICAL answers, lacking any FACTS and LAWS.

[uscjd2004]

@Majidkb87 Your argument from ignorance is no argument at all.

[Majidkb87]

@uscjd2004 Okay

[Sethrezin]

Wow...If anyone has ever seen the film"The Double Helix", they certainly picked the right actors to portray Watson and Crick. Seeing Jeff Goldblum as Watson and seeing Watson in the flesh is almost spooky. They even look alike!

[Antwniou1034]

PLEASE ADD GREEK SUBTITLES !!!

[mattb9362]

Don't pay attention to these young earth creationists who come on science videos and troll people. They are just seeking attention by provoking an angry response.

[frightenedsoul]

Olivia Judson is very attractive! She reminds me of Olivia Williams quite a bit.

[thechessstick]

Wow, is this Dawkins guy and all of his followers dolts. Just a bunch of foolish cowards.

[uscjd2004]

@thechessstick What could be more cowardly than to stultify oneself by knuckling under to a non-existent sky fairy?

[thechessstick]

@uscjd2004 Believing in something that is obviously a lie just to "belong". At least there is proof of God. You cowards who believe in evolution are just a bunch of wimps.

[Faarrest]

@thechessstick I suggest that you actualy watch the different episodes "Genius of Britain" . Maybe then you would understand that everything that makes your life enjoyable, rather than a missery of struggle to stay alive, is given to you by people who desire to understand the world. It is the scientists that gives you medicine and vaccines which allow you to live for more than 30 years. It is the scientists that allow you to enter these pages on the internet to post your opinions.

[thechessstick]

@Faarrest LOL. what a simpleton you are. You believe everything the government tells you don't you? Evolution has nothing to do with science. And only an absolute dolt is as atheist. Dick Dawkins is a total coward, period. Why I would even kick his *** in a debate. I know that Ben Stein sure exposed him for the total ass that he is.

[Faarrest]

@thechessstick Nothing I said had anything to do with the government nor Dawkins. You just made that assumpion out of nothing, as if you're just repeating your same "arguments" like a parrot. Evolution has nothing to do with science? Well that's about as wrong as you can get. Almost every science that exist from biology, chemistry, geology and archeology, all point towards evolution and an old earth. It's not like I know it because someone told me, but because I've looked at the evidence.

[avdmeers]

@thechessstick There is passion and evidence. You have only the first. You haven't gained the public respect to be debating Dawkins or any scientist for that matter, if you can't even convince toddlers. I suggest you train on ashtrays, if it moves an inch out of itself (by some invisible force) then perhaps we'll try and take it a nudge higher. And if you don't like the fact that the scientific community lends you an ear out of sympathy, or rather empathy, you can fuck off.

[M3t4lManiac]

I really hate the "appealing effects" of educational films, it absolutely REEKS of commercialism. Disgusting.

[Kassie0ate0a0cow]

Dawkins wants everyone to have access and know all the facts about life and things around us. He is a gem to society

[dawkinschannel]

@thechessstick

You're wrong. They've not been called genius BECAUSE they attack unicorns, rapunzels, gods and other fairy tales. They're just very intelligent and because of that they ask questions. Like everyone should do.

[thechessstick]

@dawkinschannel So, do you think that Dawkins would consider A. E. Wilder-Smith a genius? I propose that he would not simply because Wilder-Smith was not an evolutionist. As a matter of fact this true genius was a young Earth creationists. Like all true geniuses are.

[DrZenith]

@thechessstick People like you should take a time trip back to the middle ages. You'd feel at home. Or go and live in Afghanistan and have a good time debating the believers in allah. All religions are man-made myths invented by primitive folk who didn't know any better. Now we do. That's why anyone with a functioning brain is an atheist.

[thechessstick]

@DrZenith You show your ignorance. You should read "A Scientific Investigation of the Old Testament" by Robert Dick Wilson. He was not a pseudo-intellectual. He actually did the research and didn't trust in the biased views of others. Most atheists are atheists because of the sinful lifestyle they have chosen to live. Whether it be one of homosexuality, promiscuity or some other such reprobate thing. What is your reason for being an atheist?

[FindingTruthToday]

@dawkinschannel how can anyone saying that the universe created itself from nothing by nothing be intelligent?

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

"how can anyone saying that the universe created itself from nothing by nothing be intelligent?"

Victor Victor, it was agreed you would only troll on you own channel. Your little "nothing from nothing' bullshit doesn't fly in circles where some intelligence is required. But hey, do the one about "your continued harrassment of a christian" for these people. Or maybe the bit about Abraham knowing your god would stay his hand, these folks will get a chuckle out of it.

[avdmeers]

@FindingTruthToday How can someone saying what you just said be intelligent?

[FindingTruthToday]

@FindingTruthToday How can anyone with intellectual reasoning say that the universe and everything in it created itself from nothing by nothing and actually believe it?

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

"How can anyone with intellectual reasoning say that the universe and everything in it created itself from nothing by nothing and actually believe it?"

Victor, go troll on your own channel. You can't censor or block people on this channel or be a little tyrant either. Your simple nothing from nothing argument does not point to your bloodthirsty human sacrifice ritual anyway, you have never been able to provide any evidence that it does. Run along now.

[ludogogo]

@FindingTruthToday

If you add up all of the energy in the unvierse, you are left with 0 energy. 0 energy equivilates to nothing.

Regardless, just because something is there, does not mean it was created by a higher force. It is plausible, but logical deduction alone cannot lead to a conclusion such as so... this principle is called Occam's Razor.

[FindingTruthToday]

@ludogogo If it is plausible to you that the universe and life were created by a higher force, then you have to consider the existence of God as described in the Bible. Seek truth earnestly and follow where truth takes you; not many do. Jeremiah 29:13 Matthew 7:13 Matthew 7:14 Luke 13:24

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

TROLL ALERT, TROLL ALERT!!!

FINDINGTRUTHTODAY IS A TROLL!

Victor you cannot censor or block people on this channel, this is a free speech zone, something you do not believe in. Take your Superstition and go back to your channel where you can censor and block to your little tyranical heart's content.

BTW, you so got destroyed with the two creations stuff. You have no answer for a clear contradiction in your bible. AND IT IS IN THE FIRST BOOK! LOL!

[ludogogo]

@FindingTruthToday

Very true... but there is a level of probability assigned to a situation that has not been proven but is plausible... if that makes sense.

For instance, the more characteristics and properties that you assign to God, the less likely your assertion becomes [an example of this would be a God that performs miracles as opposed to a God that does not]. This is what Occam's Razor is all about.

I would accept a Deistic God before a Christian God because of this principle.

[FindingTruthToday]

@ludogogo Actually, Occam's Razor cuts out the myth of Darwin Evolution as a valid option because DarwinEvol has too many steps and unproven assumptions.

Evidence from various fields, including chemistry, biology, geology, fossil record, DNA analysis all confirm the Bible.

Life or death, it’s your choice. Atheism offers certain death. Christ Jesus offers eternal life.

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

TROLL ALERT!! TROLL ALERT!!

Victor, liars and their lying lies are not allowed here, you cannot censor posts or block people on this channel. Your tyranical behavior will not be tolerated. Take your superstition and go home.

(But thanks for the "science confirms the bible" bit, most people here get a chuckle from that. You are like a small child playing a kazoo.  TOOT TOOT!)

[ludogogo]

@FindingTruthToday Oh really?

What unproven assumptions and erroneous steps would this be? Natural Selection, as a mechanism, is as simple as laws of the universe. It works and there is no evidence to the contrary... if there is, it must have eluded all scientists.

I would gather that biology, geology, fossil records, DNA analysis and everything else disprove your scripture; why don't we start with radioactive dating contradicting your young earth.

[FindingTruthToday]

@ludogogo You’ve fallen for the myth that Darwin Evol is proven yet no one has ever seen bacterium turn into anything but bacterium, flies into flies, cats into cats, dogs into dogs, etc… Biology, geology, fossil records, DNA analysis and everything else actually confirms Bible scripture and cuts off Darwin Evol via Occam’s razor.

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

TROLL ALERT!! TROLL ALERT!! FINDINGTRUTHTODAY IS A TROLL!!

Victor, your lying lies must not stand! No one has seen the things done that your superstition claims either. You can't censor or block on this channel, go back to your bronze age channel. Nothing in science confirms your bible, you knowingly repeat this lie.

Hey, what is that sound? Is it Gabriel sounding his horn? Oh, no, it's Victor playing his kazoo!! TOOT TOOT!!

[ludogogo]

@FindingTruthToday

Life or death... yes I would agree it is my choice to a certain extent. Atheism, theism or whatever else you believe offers certain death; to my knowledge, no one is immortal. The problem is... you "know" what happens after you die, which is your first mistake. No one that is alive "knows" what happens after they die. It is a simple matter of logic and if you think a bunch of bronze-aged men could predict any better than a 21st century scientist, you are largely mistaken.

[FindingTruthToday]

@ludogogo Actually, you are correct that I “know” what happens after you and I die. We will be “in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1).” Only people (including those 21st century scientists) who earnestly seek truth and follow where truth leads “know” what happens after we shed our current body; others ignore truth.

[ludogogo]

@FindingTruthToday Exactly my point... if you understood the nature of truth you would know that seeking truth requires honest skepticism. Not being able to challenge one's own beliefs in search of truth is the height of ignorance. You "know" you are right without any good evidence for "knowing" this and shape your entire life around this principle. If you took a close look at your beliefs and the real knowledge that is available... you would realize that they do not coincide.

[FindingTruthToday]

@ludogogo Ah but here is your mistake; you say that I “know” I am right “without any good evidence for ‘knowing’” yet evidence for me “knowing” I am right is all around us as evidenced in the universe and life containing such great information and logical reasoning. If atheism was true, there would be no logical reasoning nor would there be any universe or life. So I know I am right because of the evidence. At times I doubt yet Absolute Truth is always Absolute Truth Ht tp://ht.l y/7jaFY

[joestfrancois]

@FindingTruthToday

TROLL ALERT, TROLL ALERT!! FINDINGTRUTHTODAY IS A TROLL!! KAZOO MUSIC!!

Victor, your lies and trolling are not allowed away from your channel. Your lies and the your lying intent are not tolerated here. You cannot censor and block here, so go on home. Everything has been explained to you, you have no excuse, join the 21st century.

Hey, what is that sound? Is it Gabriel sounding his horn? Oh, no, it's Victor playing his kazoo!! TOOT TOOT!!

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday If the bible is correct, and we all came from Adam & Eve, than Able and Cane had to fuck their own mother to make that happen. How disgusting is your religion?

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae If atheism is true then there are no absolute objective moral standards so you merely are expressing your opinion about something which you obviously don’t know anything about.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday I know enough about biology to know it's not healthy to fuck relatives. Would you fuck your mother? Or your sister? Or your grandmother? Because, apparantly the bible says it's a very good thing to do. But then again, the bible is also a lot of bullshit. Your priests were also the ones who burned scientists because they said the earth wasn't flat, but round. Do you nowadays still believe the earth is flat? Cause the bible states that it is in its description of the earth.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Many people immediately reject the conclusion that Adam and Eve’s sons and daughters married each other by appealing to the law against brother-sister intermarriage. Some say that you can’t marry your relation. Actually, if you don’t marry your relation, you don’t marry a human! A wife is related to her husband before they are married because ALL people are descendants of Adam and Eve – all are of one blood and the Human Genome Project confirms it.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae This law forbidding close relatives marrying was not given until the time of Moses (Leviticus 18-20). Provided marriage was one man for one woman for life (based on Genesis 1&2), there was no disobedience to God’s law originally (before the time of Moses) when close relatives (even brothers and sisters) married each other.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Offspring Inherit Information From Parents. Remember that Abraham was married to his half-sister (Genesis 20:12).9 God’s law forbade such marriages,10 but that was some four hundred years later at the time of Moses. Today, brothers and sisters (and half-brothers and half-sisters etc.) are not currently permitted by law to marry and have children.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday I don't even talk about the moral issue, I talk about the HEALTH-issue. I can give you at least 20 books about gens and the consequences of inbreed. Now, the simple fact that you think it's pretty normal that abel and caine fucked their mother says enough about you. You're a lunatic.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Now it is true that children produced in a union between brother and sister have a greater chance to be deformed. As a matter of fact, the closer the couple are in relationship, the more likely it is that any offspring will be deformed. It is very easy for the layperson to understand this without going into all the technical details.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday Ow, but i will go into detail. The fact that a union between relatives has a greater chance to produce deformed children is another proof of natural selection.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae When u correctly understand the formation of different species&the changes that u see n animal kinds,u’ll start to recognize the truth of where we came from.Through a simple understanding of genetics,natural selection,&the theory of evolution,Darwinism is exposed for what it is:an outdated idea based on inaccurate&incomplete scientific information; a false theory that many have accepted as fact;a racist philosophy that leads to discrimination and disunity w/n the human race.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae All creationists (and virtually all evolutionists) would agree that the various so-called “races” did not have a separate origin. Even those who believe that humans evolved do not believe that the different races evolved from different groups of animals. But most people believe that there are such vast differences between groups that there had to be many years for these differences to somehow develop.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday yes, and it would take a lot more than 5000 years to develop these differences. 3000 years actually, because there were already black african slaves in egypt.

If you conceive a child with a woman of the same origin, and you would send your son/daughter away to China, but they also only have babies from people with the same origin, it would take a lot more than 3000 years before their children got slanted eyes.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae We live in very exciting times. Not only do we have the truth of God’s Word to guide us, but we have also a rapidly expanding body of information through the field of science that is confirming what God’s Word has been telling us all along. But old ideas die hard. New ideas require new thinking and often require a conscious choice to change our beliefs and our actions. This is certainly the truth when it comes to issues of racism.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday ow, you mean like bashing on gay people, like you guys tend to do. Is that the kind of discrimination we're talking about here? Because I know I don't discriminate them. Just like I don't discriminate the African people, nor any other race. Your missionairs in Congo in the early 20th century, now they most definitely were pretty racist. Just like your good friend Adolph Hitler, who seemed to share the same religion with you.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Just because someone says that they are a Christian it doesn’t mean that they are following Christ Jesus’ teachings. God teaches us in the Bible to stay away from religion because religion separates us from Him.

The only “Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this : to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” James 1:27

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae yes, deformed children come about as I stated in my other posts.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae did you not read them? you asked for the information I have about inbreeding.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Each person inherits a set of genes from his or her mother and father. Unfortunately, genes today contain many mistakes (because of sin and the Curse), and these mistakes show up in a variety of ways. For instance, people let their hair grow over their ears to hide the fact that one ear is lower than the other – or perhaps someone’s nose is not quite in the middle of his or her face – maybe someone’s jaw is a little out of shape – and so on.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Let’s face it, the main reason we call each other normal is because of our common agreement to do so!

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae The more closely related two people r,the more likely it is that they will have similar mistakes n their genes inherited from the same parents.Therefore,brother&sist­er are likely to have similar mistakes n their genetic material.If there were to b a union btw these two that produces offspring, children would inherit one set of genes from each of their parents.B/c the genes probably have similar mistakes,the mistakes pair together and result in deformities in the children.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Conversely, the further away the parents are in relationship to each other, the more likely it is that they will have different mistakes in their genes. Children, inheriting one set of genes from each parent, are likely to end up with some of the pairs of genes containing only one bad gene in each pair.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae The good gene tends to override the bad so that a deformity (a serious one, anyway) does not occur. Instead of having totally deformed ears for instance,a person may have only crooked ones! Overall, though, the human race is slowly degenerating as mistakes accumulate generation after generation.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae However, this fact of present-day life did not apply to Adam and Eve. When the first two people were created, they were perfect. Everything God made was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). That means their genes were perfect – no mistakes! But, when sin entered the world (because of Adam – Genesis 3:6), God cursed the world so that the perfect Creation then began to degenerate, that is, suffer death and decay (Romans 8:22).

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae Over a long period of time, this degeneration would have resulted in all sorts of mistakes occurring in the genetic material of living things.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae But Cain was in the first generation of children ever born. He (as well as his brothers and sisters) would have received virtually no imperfect genes from Adam or Eve, since the effects of sin and the Curse would have been minimal to start with. In that situation, brother and sister could have married (provided it was one man for one woman – which is what marriage is all about [Matthew 19:4-6]) without any potential to produce deformed offspring.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae By the time of Moses (about 2,500 years later), degenerative mistakes would have accumulated to such an extent in the human race that it would have been necessary for God to bring in the laws forbidding brother-sister (and close relative) marriage (Leviticus 18-20). Also, there were plenty of people on the Earth by now, and there was no reason for close relations to have to marry.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae In all, there appear to be three inter-related reasons for the introduction of laws forbidding close intermarriage:

1. As we have already discussed, there was the need to protect against the increasing potential to produce deformed offspring.

2. God’s laws were instrumental in keeping the Jewish nation strong, healthy, and within the purposes of God.

[FindingTruthToday]

@marivwae and

3. These laws were a means of protecting the individual, the family structure, and society at large. The psychological damage caused by incestuous relationships should not be minimized.

[marivwae]

@FindingTruthToday where?...where does chemistry, biology, geology, fossil record and/or DNA confirm the bible? You twat. Maybe you should read a bit about 'hte dangers of inbreed', 'cause it seems like, if the bible is correct, and according to you it is, then abel and cain had to fuck their mother to reproduce, because there were no other women around. Even if there were sisters that the bible didn't mention, they still had to fuck their sister. And Noah repeated those perversities. Dumbass.

What makes me curious about life on other planets is the thought of not just other creatures on other planets, what if there are more humans out there besides the ones here on Earth?

[ThePhil909]

best of British people in my view; the intelligence factor; i hate poms but love english science guys eg; dawkins

[ajf1060]

British people are the best, ahah dont get me wrong, I have alot of pride in my country (canada). However, I am def. looking into moving there for atleast a little while.

[crocfme]

Huge respect for Dawkins, but lately I've noticed he is becoming a little rude and short with the sky spook people. Religios savages, particularly Christers, are generally so rude and arrogant and prone to violent outbursts it beggars belief; But responding to them in the same primitive manner is like vindicating their ignorance. Science is about fact, not emotion.

My one and only criticism....

[Haiksi]

Starting from about 13:20, he apparently says that half of each base pair is inherited from each parent. Huh? Half of each chromosome pair is inherited from each parent, certainly not half of each base pair. I don't know how to interpret that in a way that isn't wrong.

[mime454]

Richard sounded really cool when he said "Let's start her up!" :)

[akamola11]

When stephen hawking dies, do you think they will bury him in a graveyard, or will his wife just trade him in for the latest Dell computer ??

[akamola11]

Stephen hawking is an a-hole. I'm sure he just pretends to be all smart, but when you ask him a question, I bet he just googles it ;)

[girocraz]

@akamola11 Lol Stephen Colbert, "Stephen hawkings is such an A-HOLE"

[akamola11]

And he's a pervert. Big bangs and black holes ?? Really ?? Clean it up sicko, especially the part involving the brown dwarf !!!

Michael Jackson is an evil, cruel and disgustinging peodophile how dare you compare him to a noble man such as Richard Dawkins.

[mime454]

@bodhisatfa A far more healthy obsession.

[ah93704]

@bodhisatfa I think Dawkins would be VERY disturbed to hear you say that...LOL......OWWWWWWW

[acr08807]

@bodhisatfa  I can see some similarities. For example, they were both white by the time they were 40.

Does Hawkins have his own unoffiical channel? because he deserves it more than Ricky D

[mazdaplz]

@NegativeNick

hawkins?

who's that? you mean either hawking or dawkins, lol

[mickeypopa]

@mazdaplz

Since Dawkins already has an unofficial channel, logical assumption would be Hawking. In that case, "Ricky" would be "Richard" as in "Richard Dawkins".

Some freethinker you turned out to be ;P

lol :) good point

[JKCWvids]

you know what would be a great conversation to record for future generations to study? a round table discussion between richard dawkin, stephen fry, christopher hitchens, david attenborough and daniel bennett. in a thousand years it would be one of the most important thing ever.

[chevroletgt]

@JKCWvids

They did something like that before called the 4 horsemen. It was Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, and uh --Crap!! I can't remember who was the other one!

[d3st88]

@chevroletgt

Sam Harris?

[chevroletgt]

@d3st88 Yep thats the one! LOL thanks. I only wish there wasn't such opposition to these thinkers they don't get the credit they deserve because of religious oppression.

[ericaj58]

@chevroletgt Sam Harris.

[JKCWvids]

@chevroletgt sam harris.

ive seen it, its very intellectually stimulating, but also a but dull. adding Fry and Attenborough would make it interesting.

[alphacause]

This is wonderful - having not only some of the most brilliant scientists of our age in one video, but having two of the foremost advocates of making science accessible to the masses (i.e. Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking) share screen time. This is a geek's wet dream, and I am soaking. Thank you for the upload.
