This is the VOA Special English Health Report. Some people's ears produce wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem, even though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. It protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter, and it keeps insects out. Doctors think earwax might also help protect against infections, and the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry. So earwax is good. It even has a medical name, cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the wet kind, thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have dry earwax. But you can have too much of a good thing. The glands in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. Earwax is normally expelled. It falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears, but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a safe method, or you could do a lot of damage. Experts at the National Institutes of Health, NIH, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself. The wax can be softened with mineral oil, glycerin, or eardrops. Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide may also help. Another way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use a syringe device to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out. The experts at NIH say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems. After the ear wax is gone, gently dry the ear. But if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a health care provider for professional assistance. You should never put a cotton swab or other object into the ear canal, but you can use a swab or cloth to clean the outer part of the ear. Experts agree with the old saying that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villareal.

So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Most of this information comes from the tax guide for small business for individuals who use Schedule C Publication 334 Tax Year 2022. You can find on the IRS website irs.gov irs.gov. Looking at the income tax formula, we're focused online. One income remember in the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement. Although it's just an outline and a scaffolding other forms and schedules flowing into it. For example, the Schedule C, the business income, which is in essence an income statement in and of itself income minus expenses. The net then net income flowing into the income line of the income tax formula. This is the first page of the form 1040. The schedule C would flow into the schedule one, which would then flow into the first page of the 1040 here on line eight. This is the schedule C profit or loss from business where we can see we have an income statement in essence income minus the expenses or business deductions. So we're continuing on with our discussion of accounting methods. Remember the two methods you want to keep in mind are going to be the cash method and then the accrual method. Most other methods can be thought of as kind of a combination between the two. In other words, those two methods aren't really opposites from each other because you can think of a method where you're basically using pieces of an accrual method and a cash method. And even if you're on a cash method, you're going to be forced even then to use some accrual concepts as we discussed when you're doing like capitalization of property plants and equipment, for example. Also note that you want to make sure that you get your accounting method properly recorded when you first set up your schedule C on the first tax return. Because although you have a pretty fairly wide leeway to pick the accounting method you want to use once chosen, it's difficult to change the accounting method because the IRS wants consistency with the accounting method. If you were to change the accounting method going back and forth from a cash to an accrual method, then you can kind of manipulate the timing of the income and expenses and you can try to do some tax manipulation in that case. So the IRS wants to limit that by saying you can choose what methods you want, but then in essence you keep to that method. And of course there are some circumstances where the IRS might require, say, an accrual method in some cases, for example. Alright, so now we're on a combination method. So you can generally use a combination of cash, accrual, and special methods of accounting if the combination clearly shows your income and expenses and you use it consistently. So the consistency is once again the key component here. However, the following restrictions apply. If an inventory is necessary to account for your income, you must generally use an accrual method for business and sales. So in other words, the inventory, if you're dealing with inventory, you've got to be careful on the method that you're going to choose because you might be able to kind of be under the threshold where you have to be required to report on an accrual method. But generally you may be required to report on an accrual method if you have inventory because reporting inventory is an accrual thing. Meaning, when you buy the inventory, if you were on a cash method, you would just expense it when you buy it. But if you're holding onto a substantial amount of inventory, it makes sense to put it on the books as an asset and putting it on the books as an asset is an accrual type of thing. We then expense it when we sell the inventory in the form of the cost of goods sold. So that would mean that you would have to kind of account for that inventory situation on an accrual basis generally so that we can match up the cost of the inventory that was sold, usually the biggest expense if you're just buying and selling inventory with the time frame that you earn the revenue. Otherwise what would happen is you might have bought the inventory last year or two years ago and then if you expensed it two years ago, you're not matching the expense of the inventory to the revenue that was generated in the current year when you actually sold the inventory. That's the idea. We want to match those two things up generally. So you can use the cash method for all other items of income and expenses. So notice that you might, that's kind of a hybrid kind of method where you can see that would be practical in a lot of small businesses because a lot of the expenses that you have for small businesses, you might try to rely on bank feeds, for example, in order to record them. So you have electronic transfers, you might try to set up your QuickBooks file or something like that so that you can record all the outflows with basically bank feed type of transaction which is in essence a cashed based kind of system. So then if you use cash method for figuring your income, you must use the cash method for reporting your expenses. So you've got to be matching the idea here that we want to be matching the income and the expenses in the same time period. In other words, the income that you consumed should be matched to the revenue that you consumed it to generate. That's the matching principle which the accrual is better at doing than the cashed based system, but you want some consistency with those methods. If your method is altering them more than a cashed based system to be out of whack, you would think that would not be typically good from a bookkeeping standpoint and not what the IRS is looking for here either, I would think. So if you use an accrual method for reporting your expenses, you must use an accrual method for figuring your income. So if you use a combination method that includes cash method, treat the combination method as the cash method. Now note this gets a little bit confusing because a lot of times when people think of the difference between a cash method and an accrual method, we kind of think that every transaction is going to be different between an accrual and an accrual method. So in other words, if you set up your expenses like a lot of small businesses do to be paying when they clear the bank when you do an electronic transfer, you could say, okay, that's clearly a cashed method in that you're letting the transfer of the cash drive when you're going to be recording it. But if you recorded that transaction on an accrual based method, you would mainly have the same transactions there. In other words, if you paid the phone bill and you paid it through a bank feed when you paid the phone bill, then you would record the expense at the point in time you paid it based on a cashed based method. But you would also be recording it at the point in time you paid it generally because it's pretty close to the time that you consumed the use of the phone on an accrual based method. It's just for different reasons. On a cashed based method, you would be recording it at that point in time because you paid the cash on an accrual method. You would be recording the expense at that point in time because it's close to the point in time that you actually consumed the consumption of using the telephone. It's only when those two things are not connected, they're not close to each other that you're going to have basically a difference in reporting of the timing of the expenses in a similar kind of thing on the income side. Okay, so continuing on inventories. Generally, if you produce, purchase or sell merchandise in your business, you must keep an inventory and use an accrual method for purchase and sale of merchandise. So as we saw, the inventory is often an issue because it's an accrual component when you put it on the book as an asset. Instead of just expensing it when you pay for it, you're doing an accrual thing when you record the expense of cost of goods sold when you sell the inventory as opposed to when you bought the inventory. You are once again doing an accrual type of thing from an income statement side of things. We want to be matching up the revenue that was generated from the sale of inventory and the expense, the cost of goods sold of the inventory. So exception for small business taxpayers. So if you are a small business taxpayer, you can choose not to keep an inventory, but you must still use a method of accounting for inventory that clearly reflects income. So if you choose not to keep an inventory, you won't be treated as failing to clearly reflect income in your method of accounting for inventory, treats inventory as non-incidental material or supplies or conforms to your financial accounting treatment of inventories. So however, if you choose to keep an inventory, you must generally use an accrual method of accounting and value the inventory each year to determine your cost of goods sold in part three of Schedule C. So note that if you're in a situation where you sell stuff, but really you kind of buy stuff in particular or an adjusting time type of system or in part of your job cost system, you buy inventory, and then you consume it and you build something or you sell it right away. That would mean that you're not really holding on to inventory at that point.  You could basically, in essence, expense the inventory as cost of goods sold when you purchase it because you purchased it close to the point in time that you are actually going to sell it, sell the inventory. So it's still those two things, the income and the expense of cost to get sold should still be close in the same time frame because you're not really holding on to the inventory. If, however, you are holding on to inventory, you have to track the inventory, then clearly you can't really avoid that situation. So you'd have to do basically an accrual method you would think in that case. Now if you're using an accrual method, you can see this part three of the Schedule C, which is basically a cost of goods sold calculation. You're going to have to figure out which sometimes can be a little bit tricky because it's kind of a perpetual inventory calculation of the cost to get sold. The formula, you may know the formula.  You might not have the purchases and you might back into the purchases and that will equal the cost to good sold. And oftentimes if you use accounting software, you might know the cost to good sold as well. So you might back into, in essence, the purchases using algebra in some cases to fill out that part three of the Schedule C. So small business taxpayers, you qualify as a small business taxpayer. If you A, have average annual gross receipts of $27 million or less for the three prior tax years and B are not a tax shelter as defined in Section 448D3. If your business has not been in existence for all of the three tax year period used in figuring average gross receipt base your average on the period it has existed. And if your business has a predecessor entity, include the gross receipt of the predecessor entity from the three tax year period when figuring average gross receipts. If your business or predecessor entity had had short tax years for any of the three year period, analyze your business gross receipt for the short tax year that are part of the three year period. You can see publication 538 for more information if you want to drill down on that. Treating inventory as non-incidental material or supplies. So if you account for inventories as materials and supplies that are not incidental, you deduct the amounts paid or incurred to acquire or produce the inventoryable items treated as non-incidental materials and supplies in the year in which they are first used or consumed. In your operations, inventory treated as non-incidental materials and supplies is used or consumed in your business in the year you provide the inventory to your customers. So financial accounting treatment of inventories. Your financial accounting treatment of inventories is determined with regard to the method of accounting you use in your applicable financial statement. So, again, the general idea is that they want you to kind of follow what you're doing on the book's side of things.  So you might not be reporting, obviously, external financial statements of your small business on the Schedule C unless you need something like a loan or financing or something like that. But the general idea is that the system you're using for the bookkeeping that would be used to create your financial statements would generally be kind of the system that you would use for your taxes in terms of an accrual method, cash method, or a combo. So for financial accounting treatment of inventories is determined with regard to the method of accounting you use in your applicable financial statement as defined in Section 451B3. Or if you do not have an applicable financial statement with regard to the method of accounting you use in your books and records that have been prepared in accordance with your accounting procedures. So changing your method of accounting for inventory. So what about if I need to change it? And possibly that may happen if you're on a cash-based method and you're saying, I think it might be more appropriate for me to be on an accrual-based method given the fact that I have inventory and possibly that that inventory has increased or something like that. So if you want to change your method of accounting for inventory, you must file Form <IP_ADDRESS> application for change in accounting method. So you've got to ask the IRS for permission. So see change in accounting method later. You would think that if you had a rational reason for it, meaning inventory has gone up and I was on a cash-based method. And I think the inventory has gone up to the point where it would be more appropriate for me to use an accrual method, at least with regards to the inventory sales and whatnot. Then you would think they would accept that kind of rationale. If you just were like, whatever, willy-nilly, I just want to change it because I want to change it kind of thing. Then they might argue you would think for consistency. So items include an inventory. So if you are required to account for inventories, include the following items when accounting for your inventory. So you've got the merchandise or stock and trade. Obviously if you just buy stuff, market up and sell stuff, the stuff you're buying and planning to sell is inventory. And then we've got the raw materials. So the other kind of inventory situation we have is one in which we're going to be making things. Either using a job cost system or a process cost system oftentimes where we're going to buy raw materials. We're going to start to work on them, work in process, and then we'll have the finished goods that are putting the raw materials together with our overhead in our labor. Work in process, that's the middle step of that manufacturing process. When the finished goods aren't done, they're still kind of raw. They're not raw anymore, but they're not finished either. And then you've got the finished products when we converted the raw materials into that finished goods, ready to sell. Supplies that physically become a part of the item intended for sale. So value an inventory. You must value your inventory at the beginning and end of each tax year to determine your cost of goods sold. Schedule C line 42. So we're going to have to do that cost of good sold calculation beginning inventory plus purchases minus ending inventory equals cost of goods sold in essence. Meaning that means that our beginning inventory should match what was the ending inventory in the prior tax return if we had a prior tax return for the business. In other words, if it's not a new business. And then we're going to have to have the purchases which again might be the area that you kind of back into using Algebra minus the ending inventory, which oftentimes you would determine making a physical count and just and using your accounting records to determine what ending inventory is equals the cost of goods sold, which you might have in your accounting records if you're using a perpetual inventory system, for example, already to calculate the cost of goods sold, which means you can possibly back into the purchases if you need to in that condition. So to determine the value of inventory, you need a method for identifying the items in your inventory and a method for valuing these items. So usually you've got the cost, but then obviously the cost of the inventory could have changed over time, usually going down over time. So if you're holding on to old inventory, it may not be worth what it was when you bought the inventory. You might have to use a flow assumption first in first out life of weighted average inventory. Inventory evaluation rules cannot be the same for all kinds of businesses. The method you use to value your inventory must conform to generally accepted accounting principles for small business and must clearly reflect income. So your inventory practices must be consistent from year to year. Obviously that consistency once again something that we have to be consistent with otherwise there could be manipulation. So if you changed from, for example, flow assumptions first in first out to last in first out to weighted average, you can severely change the value of your inventory and that would be manipulative thing to do for most part. So more information. For more information about inventory, you can see publication 538.

Newport Artic Scholars Initiative is the first of its kind program that brings together sailors and scholars from Arctic nations together for one year to study and report on important questions asked by our heads of Navy and the many people who care deeply about the future of the Arctic. This is the opening seminar of the second Newport Artic Scholars Initiative and our focus this year, unlike last year, we ended up creating over 30 principles of Arctic security in the areas of awareness, confidence building measures and capabilities and what we found after hearing from our heads of Navy was there's a need to focus on some of the cooperative security frameworks and so that's our charge this year is to explore current and potentially proposed new frameworks to enhance cooperation, security cooperation to prevent conflict and to maintain open dialogue among Navy's and nations in the Arctic. If you think about it, the last two decades 50% of the ice pack in the Arctic has disappeared, opening up for new communication ways, exploration, exploitation, but also competition. So if you think globally, great power competition with the United States, China and Russia has also moved into the Arctic. So this group is looking into how can we re-establish a dialogue in the Arctic? How can we as neighbors talk about security interest that affects us all? And so that is the purpose of this group to look at confidence building measures for the future of the Arctic. The benefit of having so many Arctic scholars sitting together for three days and having time to discuss in depth these issues gives a lot of perspectives which you can't find yourself and so I think the personal benefit for me has been the ability to exchange ideas and knowledge on issues and also to try to come up with new and innovative solutions to complex problems and that has been very useful here. I think this issue is so important because in many ways the future is now and so for a long time people have been thinking about climate change particularly in the Arctic being a game changer or creating new sets of concerns, challenges, threats, sometimes opportunities too and that future is here. We don't need to talk about that in abstract terms, that's not something that's coming down the road, that's the world we're living in right now and it's only the way in which climate change is playing out in this one region of the world but in many ways the Arctic is the most susceptible region in the world to climate change so it's kind of happening there soonest but this is a global issue obviously so I think that the Arctic becomes a really important test case for how states and non-state actors are going to respond to these kinds of questions, the climate change is pushing front and center.


Oh no! No! Oh, just clipped the flippers! Another episode of Jurassic World Evolution 2 Lagoon series! Where today, we're continuing on to the second episode. So continuing, because it's literally the next episode, I suppose. Um, but I just want to say, before we get into this, thank you everyone. Uh, who- where was the spine? There's the spine. Oh, there you go. There's your- there's your prize. Uh, thank you everyone who has- has been supportive of the series. That first episode performed really well! More than I was expecting, actually. Um, but that's great! It out- it out- performed fricking the aisle, now performed Path of Tynes. Oh, maybe- maybe I should focus on this game? Ha ha ha ha, maybe! But we're here- but the strangest thing was, I had people asking me to play Jurassic World Evolution 1! I couldn't believe it. We'll go over the the newest features of of these Enclosed the spider souls and then the Archons as well. I'm gonna put in loads more Archons We have so many more Stones to use and like the fun will never see any of them out of the water So I was like, you know what we'll make too plus we get to you know showcase your guys's names a bit more Okay, hold on hold on before we get into anything. I just want to see the view of the monorail. Yeah So first up and the you'll notice this bit has changed the end. Hello spider We changed this so it looks way better and boom. Oh, there's the alkaline.  Oh, that's sweet Yeah, cool. We've also got a lot more things coming up We've got this little bit that I'm working on little crossing. Oh, I just squished two human beings there Before we make a little bit of a pit. Oh, wow people are actually climbing this. That's amazing Before we would head on over into another enclosure boilers. There's nothing in it at the moment I just made it because I was like hold on a minute. I can extend it. Why don't we have it go through even more? You'll notice in the home try not to show it There's there's a big project I've been working on which you've seen the thumbnail and the title You know what this one's gonna be about. So what have I changed in this enclosure? Well, we made we made this a little bit. I don't know what the spider was doing there. Oh, that was a weird little animation. Oh Lovely sitting on the tarmac Getting a lovely sun sun bath. Yeah, I guess it'd be warmer on the tarmac So spinosaurus there warming up her ginormous frame. Hold on. We can get a cool shot here. Yeah That's awesome. It's got a sail and everything. I love it So we will nick name this spinosaurus with the comments from the last video Right well there we go. We've got a name Jerry The spinoza, you know what maybe because it's like it looks a bit like a cherry with its colorings I don't know. I downloaded Kai's Wii toolbox, which has drastically changed This bit because I put in this log and in order to get it to the right level that the track was I had to Dip down the land in order for it to because it's a bit raised and then that just made this really weird Dip into the land. So now it's it's flat.  I've actually been able you know to flatten the land that is technically in this lagoon Oh, look at the fishies with it being chased myself. Maybe I don't know So now the fence instead of dipping into the water and disappearing actually goes into the log So that's really cool Also, I've added a lot more of these things because now I can place things anywhere I want so we've got a lot of these that look like teeth Really cool. What's I got this thing? We can show the view is Someone put a very good exclamation Someone put a very good explanation as to why I'm able to view this bit There's something to do with like one ways visible and all this jazz But yeah, yeah, I'm just glad it's visible. It's very good. Oh look at this because so many people out here Oh, this is brilliant. I'm assuming they're not gonna walk into the fountain. Are they? How do they even get here? They literally just walked for ages.  That's brilliant What we'll do now is we'll just go into randomized pattern. There we go And we'll just get a full batch of four. So that's like six Maybe we could get even more alcohol. We'll do two batches of alcohol on all random sort of traits Hopefully we don't get anything too bad. Oh brilliant. Just one's got a small appetite. That's fantastic in that one Unfit. Oh, bless it and an antisocial Effects whole territory if alpha. Well, hopefully it won't be alpha The ichthyosaurs are gonna hate this Cuz they're terrified enough of this two of them. Maybe we'll move them into something different I don't know. So how are we doing? Yes, that's right destroy destroy them on a rail swim right through it Whoa, what is that? Oh is that must be smoke? There we go. Project Arcalon is a go All right, hold on so we got one Arcalon called Tet that is by Alex said 90. Okay. We've got another Arcalon Archie Archie the Arcalon times three Well, if that isn't an original name, I don't know what is it Archie, which one's Archie? Where is Archie? There's Archie. All right. What else we got? Jeff or Steve Okay, I guess we'll call this one Steve And if I Jerry for the Spinosaur This one can come here can be called Jeff it cook cook cook cook cook This one, which is flappy We've got the next one called Archie that's Archie and Archie. Oh, this is the first one. What will you be called napoleon? nap Or Leon there you go. Napoleon. What else do we have? Sam. Oh, there we go. The first one shall be called Sam Sam boy is gungy Stop walk swimming into the monorail dammit. Oh the blue one doesn't have a name Hey, and this one who who is it to call this one? Chris Christine Ionter you think it is? Oh, I like the social animation called aqua. We need some Enya music Wait L is just a place Animals I did not know this So if I wanted to I no longer need a hatchery Oh My god, I can see them in real cosmetic set I don't know what that does What what hold on? What if I just place this a spider in here like ah, yeah They're not going to be able to interact with anything if I do place them there But what about aquatics? Here we go. So if I just wanted to plonk in a lead zikthies I could I need I don't I don't need hatcheries. Okay, so that's how we do it when we want to place things So now we can really see the the scale of these guys. So let's Archon's still not really appearing which is a bit odd of everything. Archon's the only one that Isn't appearing probably should have seen that one coming Um I was just saved when I had the um the prognathodon open Uh-oh Uh-oh Kind of got a prognathodon in here But just just a just a bit of a problem. Where is it? Well, anyway, we're prognathodon happy little accidents That's what we'll call it I did place it above the water So i'm hoping that's not going to make too much of a problem I haven't seen it go down though Uh, I just want to see it, you know, there we go But look at that. You look glorious. I don't mean to be mean What really brings it apart is that front bit with the mouth the this bottom bit the rest of it's kind of okay But the the bands I think is what i'm just sort of having a bit of an issue with okay So oh my god, there's so many fish in here. It was like a highway down there. Where is it? I mean you want this many fish really but good God there's so many of them I had to put like a feeder there feeder there feeder there feeder there The reason why I had to put feeders here was so that these things didn't clip on and go to a certain spot You can't move it afterwards But it's just easier like putting the feeders in and then when I realized just how much fish it made I was like hold on Actually apart from all being exactly the same level This is kind of what you want right from an aquarium you or like, you know an exhibit like this Wait if There's the monorail But none of the turtles seem to be using the rocks and I have placed them normally I have not moved them So they should be able to interact with them. Anyway, anyway, also we added a little viewing vent here for the spinosaur enclosure I don't know. I just thought it would look kind of cool You know, you're by the water the spinoe, you know, it's got its feeding tray there So you you get a close close up view of either it's front eating the fish or it's but when it bends over Either way, um, but the newest project I have been working on is This beautiful piece of art Look at it. You're just gonna get This is kind of my reinterpretation of you know, the Jurassic world lagoon area This so far is the only place that actually has two monorails going Through it technically you got the big one that goes over the top here So you get a nice view you don't really get to see any of the dinosaurs But it looks cool as you enter this like that's the shot you're gonna get from the monorail is that and then There's also a monorail that is underneath and that sort of goes through the water as well as a viewing vent there And I think there's one over. Yeah, so there's two over here I wanted to leave this side of the lagoon Open because this all the good there it is below the surface. They look so cool Um, also I put all these together because why not needs to be a big area Um, this place needs finishing a hundred percent, but before we add the creature to it Let's have a look at this. So this is the innovation center Uh, spend a little bit of time. Oh, I like how there's already people sitting There's only there's three people and there they all are of course, you wouldn't normally be able to do this without I think Being able to place items anywhere Um, but I just thought it was quite cool that you know you have this Apart from the holographic fish. Yes. Um, that's what we're gonna run with these are holographic because they shimmer in They shine it's like And then someone touches it like that. Yes, that's that's what we're gonna roll with. Yeah Um, I thought it would be quite cool to see a structure, you know, you could sort of Not sit on top of it stand on top of it. Have a look out get a nice view of the lagoon The way you enter it is actually over and I've made this sort of Cuing system with you know, I don't know the fences the wooden fences that we got with the uh, the expanded fences mods We've got some tea here. I think it is as well as the toilet And then these I think lead you to the underwater, but I don't I thought it was quite cool to You know, you see these if you've ever went to like a disney world or universal they might have a uh ocean But you know above ground sort of look. I know that in disney tokyo, they have a little mermaid section Um, and it has this Beautifully and I was thinking, you know what that'd be quite cool because we can place coral here I thought why not we put the indominus wrecks Good good thing. There's no bubbles rising or any fish. What's up? This guy I don't know. Do you have a name? Hold on. What's your name? Oh god that Is that you?   I think he is he's talking to himself though A little sunshade there, you know Sometimes you'll have people posted around theme parks and stuff ready to give out information and with a bingo No DNA. I thought why not we'll put you there Um, but altogether, you know, I think this kind of works You've got the the big normal concrete fence and then just like in front of it You've got the tree fence, which is another addition from that fences mod I also you've got this other tiny fence that separates it from the uh the lagoon as well as some extra lights I I actually chose this for the decoration and then I thought oh, hold on I just place another one here and then place more here as well as you know showing that there's a mosasaur in here or Advertising that there's a mosasaur. Are you in a secret? There's no mosasaur No, there'll be something much far better than a mosasaur a modded beauty Now we're gonna only have one of them at the moment. We'll only have one because well If we have multiples they'll get stuck together, but you know, we kind of need this So let's have a look and modify the genome if we can make this the best thing ever Give it all the traits. Do I have unlimited traits? Heck yeah, we're gonna make it 100 resilient to everything It's gonna be able to have it's going to be able to speak with other dinosaurs. It's going to be able to fly It's going to be able to wield ak 47s and ride in tanks and it's also going to be able to sprint a marathon So I think there isn't any skin in particular that affects it. It's got 60 defense I'm thinking and 60 attack. It also has Crazy population and amazing stuff. So we may as well get the hell. Yeah archie Steve jeff plappy arky napoleon sam aqua Number three you need a name. Let's go to the comments section shall we or diamond was a good one? says uh Mackie toes or mack toes But I don't know this one. It's giving off good diamond diamond diamond Oh, yep. We got more tete Archie and we're back to steve. Yes. There we go. I'm still yet to see A single alkalon get up on these rocks, which is such a booger because now we have so many I'm wondering about the uh, yeah that comfort. So they need more open space. That's a hundred percent one That's a hundred percent one. Why are we still here? Okay, well even with the xt soles out Uh, they're they're still having a little bit of trouble with the space here. It fluctuates, but pretty much they ain't happy But there's no I could do about that. So before the archons get mad at me and throw a temper tantrum Let's release this guy. I'll call I've waited so long to see this thing in action Oh, yes, here we go Not a mosasaur, but a prehistoric whale The basilasaurus this thing looks so cool You might remember it from such classics as walking with sea monsters or was it swimming with sea monsters that Nigel marvin special And look at the space that it has as well The silhouette of it. I mean when I saw this when I was filming the battle royale video And I saw that silhouette I was like I need to incorporate that somehow because it looks absolutely astonishing There is so many um sea creatures Uh, oh hold on hold on hold on. Oh, are we connected? Oh, we are connected Oh, I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see I want to see Oh my god It's beautiful Oh That I mean it looks kind of tiny But this thing's huge. There's this place here. I'd love to have Maybe two or three of these guys, but we need to wait till um, this mod or you know, hopefully it gets updated hope the the creator of the mod actually sees this and uh Maybe updates it or I think because you know, it's a whole new code for the social animations when it comes to these guys that It might take a little bit more work than you know, what they You know, we normally do because now they need to code in The behaviors and an animation that these things never had so whatever this is based on does have a social animation That's why we can't have uh more than one because if we did then yeah But I also need to add an entrance and an exit for the monorail. I can hear it coming. I can hear it coming ready and There it is monorail comes through and then look at that What a shot that is gorgeous wow Beautiful but we need to make the exit entrance look a bit cooler than just Well, you know that I think we could maybe build up some rocks. I don't know hold on Let me let me have a check to see if we can do this This is how it goes with kai's toolbox. What you want to do is you want to make a rock Boom now you still have the constraints that you can't place rocks next to the even the fences and everything Uh, however Once you make said rock you can then click on it and then you can place it anywhere You can even put it you want it in the middle of that But you can't move it up or down. Uh, I don't think even if we We have a rock. This is brilliant. This is this is actually exactly what I wanted because now Oh, well Yeah, let me in. Let me in. Come on. Just just let a little bit in the water Yeah, there we go. This is completely made by fans. It's amazing by modus. Um Up it goes right so we can rotate it we can move bees move There it is So if we wanted to uh, I'm trying to Exactly figure out how to Like we replace that there now. How does that look? There we go and we can slowly build up You know some sort of entrance and exit to this place that looks natural We're not actually going to be able to make an exit or an entrance But if we make a cavern, you know, you can realistically believe The train goes into that or If it's even possible, we could have a look at some of the buildings Like this for instance, this guy and oh look at the basilisaurus there. That looks so cool Oh, hold on. Hold on. If a monorail comes now Oh If it swam over the monorail like I've been two minds as to whether we place A like fence over the monorail to make it like a tunnel I mean, there's no way of us actually putting a lid on the fence because that that would be what I'd want like some sort of glass Fence like that still still sticking out. I don't oh Oh That might be a bit of a problem Uh, how about oh god, um Can we delete the zip line now? I didn't realize we were gonna make floating Yeah, they realized we're gonna make floating doors. That could be an issue. Come on, baby Come on Actually That's that's fixed the issue. Okay There we have it right. I've managed to find a way to actually get the rocks in a situation that um, you know He's got to work. The only problem is that there's no path to this building It's not just the case that it has no connection Uh-oh Uh-oh Uh-oh, I may or may not have just broken. I think I got it. There we go. There we go. Hold on There it is Okay, we now have and in fact we can actually add pillars like that. I suppose Which is quite interesting. So here we go Here is the beautiful monorail Filled with guests as it disappears and exits the perfect size Yes Oh my god Yes That is oh, I'm so happy with that. Oh, that's so cool I was I mean, it's obviously not working because it's a modern creature But I was wondering if the basilisaur would actually interact with the shark with the fact it even jumps out Oh, yeah, that's the stuff. That's the stuff as they sing of beauty Oh Man I wonder what else we can put in here like a basilisaur is amazing and really, you know, if we were thinking about realistically how or what we would have For, you know, the size of their enclosures Definitely, you know, this Is way better than anything we've ever created in real life Like this sort of size for a creature this big But even then, you know a creature this big needs an ocean We're never going to be able to, you know Facilitate that unless I were to make the entire building area a lagoon And at least then we've tried to get an entire ocean, I suppose But uh, yeah, oh man We can't place a shark. Anyway, all I know is we need to make another Exit for this guy over here because already it looks freaking amazing. Let's do let's make the exit Is is the other one still up here? No, it's not wait a minute. We can Literally Make it as close as we want and then when we move it that thing is gonna Move as well. It's not going to get stuck in the sky once we move. I don't even know I mean, there you go. That's a thumbnail shot. Get your monorail to exit legit That looks so cool So I mean I managed to do it where I just placed and Oh Okay, oh hold on now. We need to test one final feature And that is if we save it load it Will that disappear? That is the question. I'm learning so much about ziplines. It's so weird It's not there. I didn't think so. So hold on. We go into water Ah Fascinating. Okay, right, right. All right. I see what's happening now. Oh my god So basically if they don't have a hold on I think it's going if they don't have a connector Whatever height they saved will be undone By the next time you log in because it's like well, why is it that high? It doesn't have a connector So what you need to do is you need to go into we need to go into here It's in the same place. We can literally just lift it up and there we go. So that Should have placed it exactly where it was. Yep. Perfect. And yeah, that's it. That's it the right sort of size You got a camera checking it as it goes out and again Uh what we can do actually I'm thinking the same thing will happen here once we Save it reload it. It'll should fill that in. I think I think that's what's gonna happen because I think that's what's happened here Yeah, I think that's exactly what's happened here. We probably don't even need these rocks anymore. Yeah Yeah, we don't even need them like look there it is It looks like it's just part of the lagoon. That is brilliant I'm always worried about the amount of decoration to place in a park because I know eventually that'll build to a memory And then it just won't work. So yeah once we save it reload it fits in so perfectly with the wall What even it's like the same color as the wall That is so good Supplies were made for this they were made to be monorail exits You know when that one sort of fixes its issue what I was wanting to do is have this monorail run through Uh and then go into another aquarium. However Didn't really have any you know the thing is it always goes from you have to move the thing and then if you get this There's nothing you could do and I spent ages and ages trying to extend it But it seemed like it would only go so far Uh, so what I ended up having to do was make another one And this will be next episode's project now if I can actually you know get a dinosaur to Be in here like if I just click l and then we can place a dinosaur in here We could probably have another exhibit on top of this one, which is quite fascinating We've got like a double tiered exhibit So this will be the cavern, but it's slowly taking shape We've got another thing over here, which we're not going to touch on just check because I'll be for a future video But I'm I'm I'm approaching this with you know doing one enclosure building a couple of things off of that And then eventually we'll be able to you know fit loads of other things inside it as well Oh, let's have a look at this this turtle And then eventually we'll make the glue Which will just be the other exhibits that can sort of be around in the park make it seem like a functioning park But if you've enjoyed this video guys, leave a like any suggestions At all any mods or anything that you want to see or any cool ideas I'll have a look at them. Anyway, if you enjoyed the video, leave a like until next time. I'll see you guys later. Oh, bye. Bye
