In the previous few lectures, we have seen about the floods, how to estimate the magnitude and how to obtain the value of discharge at different times at a particular location in let us say catchment area. Now, once the flood is obtained at the outlet from a catchment area and suppose we want to predict the flood at a downstream location, we will have to find out how this input gets translated into the output at the downstream point. And we use for this purpose what is known as routing. The flood routing is an important subject because it will translate any input at one point to the flood output at a downstream point by taking care of the storage resistance and other factors. So, today we will discuss some aspects of flood routing. Flood routing simply means that we route the flood from one point to some point downstream. So, we translate the flood and obtain temporal distribution, how the discharge is changing with time of let us say discharge flow generally meter cube per second with at downstream points. So, for example, if we have a channel and we know the temporal distribution of discharge, let us call it the inflow and at this point we want to obtain temporal distribution of the outflow which we can call q, how will it will it be like this or will it be like this. So, the purpose of flood routing is to obtain or estimate this distribution of q. Hydrograph at one or may be more points there may be a tributary coming in here and the hydrograph in this tributary may also be known. So, at a few points upstream of the point at which we want to find out the hydrograph using these points we can estimate the outflow at this point using this techniques of flood routing. The basic techniques used in flood routing can be called either a lumped routing or distributed. In the lumped routing we obtain q as a function of time at a given x. So, for example, again if we take some catchment area there may be tributaries entering this channel. So, for the tributaries suppose we know the hydrographs and all these hydrographs are routed to the outflow point. So, at this point if we find out outflow versus time then we are considering only one point at particular x. So, given x would be this point and what we want is q versus time. This would be a lumped routing in distributed we find out q as a function of x and t. So, at different times in a channel at different x values what will be q. So, for this entire channel we can say that at any time what will be the q at different locations. So, lumped and distributed are kind of have the same purpose of routing the flood, but they use different philosophies in lumped routing which is also called hydrologic routing. We use a continuity equation which is generally of the form inflow minus outflow equal to rate of change of storage. So, the lumped routing or the hydrologic routing uses the simple mass balance equation of inflow outflow and the rating them with the change in storage. While in the distributed model which is also known as hydraulic routing we use a continuity equation and a momentum equation. So, for example, if you are talking about a channel and the depth of flow is y at different times we can write a continuity equation which would be of the form and q is the discharge q will be a function of x and t. The continuity equation can be written as this is the change of discharge with distance this denotes the net inflow or outflow into a particular control volume of very small with delta x and then in the limit that delta x tends to 0 we would get the differential equation. T is the top width. So, if the channel cross section is like this and water is flowing at this level then t would be the width at the top of this section y is the depth of flow and q is the discharge. So, this gives the continuity equation relating the net inflow with the change in control volume within this control volume. Momentum equation is obtained and written as del y by del x v by g del v by del x s naught minus s f. S naught is the bed slope of the channel. So, if the channel is here the slope of the bed will be s naught and s f is the friction slope. The friction slope represents the energy loss. So, if the channel bed is here water depth may be like this the energy line may be going like this. So, this is the water level and this represents the total energy or energy line which is obtained by adding the velocity head. So, the slope of this line at any point is generated by s f and typically this value of s f is obtained from using equations like Manning's equation or Chagey's equation for open channel flow. So, in this equation s naught and s f are obtained from bed slope is obtained from the geometry of the channel s f is obtained from Manning's or Chagey's equation and then we can solve these two equations together to obtain the value of discharge at all values of x and at different times. So, we will start with the lumped routing because it is easier. Now, all the routings can be thought of in terms of two different kinds either storage routing or a channel routing. The storage routing is also called reservoir routing and as the name implies typically it denotes how a flood wave gets modified when it passes through some storage structure or reservoir. So, let us look at a case like this where we have some storage reservoir here water is stored up to certain level and there is some flow coming in I t is the input and then the outflow can be written as let us say q t and we want to find out how the outflow is changing with time. A storage in the reservoir denotes let us denote it by s, s will of course depend on the height of flow in the reservoir. Let us call h from the top of the spillway so that when h is 0 there is no outflow, but we can relate this h we can take the h from the bed of the channel also, but for this our purpose we will take h as the variable. So, s will be a function of h as we go higher the storage volume within the reservoir increases. So, s will typically be a function of h where h equal to 0 indicates the storage below this level and then it increases as we increase the h. Similarly, the outflow from the reservoir will also depend on h and generally if we have uncontrolled spillway here then q typically is proportional to the 3 by 2 power of h and we can plot a curve like this showing the variation of q with h. So, the equation which is used for lumped routing i minus o inflow minus outflow equal to d s by d t this s will also be a function of h and o which we have denoted by q here will also be a function of h. So, what we need to do is to solve this equation and see how outflow is changing with time there are many methods of solving this. We start with a method which is known as level pool routing level pool routing because we assume that reservoir level is. So, we will ignore any changes in the water level any profile occurring like this we assume that the water level at all the times in the reservoir remains horizontal and this assumption will be true or approximately true most of the time because the slope of the water surface here will generally be small. So, assuming this the reservoir routing or sewage routing or this level pool routing we write the equation the familiar mass balance equation as i minus o equal to d s by d t and then we consider a small time interval delta t. So, small interval denoted by delta t and let us see what happens during this small interval finite time interval of delta t the inflow which comes in can be written as some average inflow because i changes with time. And therefore, during the finite time interval of delta t we can write some i bar as the average inflow minus similarly, we can write some average outflow and now let us use the symbol q for the outflow. So, some q bar again multiply by delta t will give us the change in storage delta s. So, in this equation i bar represents the average inflow during time period of delta t q bar average outflow during the time period and delta s is the change in storage during that finite time interval of delta t. We can write this i as i 1 plus i 2 by 2 similarly, q 1 plus q 2 by 2 where i 1 and i 2 represents the inflow before that time period of delta t and after the time period of delta t. So, if t versus i is known to us and suppose we have taken this delta t then this will be i 1 and this would be i 2. So, obviously delta t has to be small enough. So, that we can assume that this portion is more or less a straight line and therefore, this assumption of average flow being equal to i 1 plus i 2 by 2 will be valid and delta s will of course, be the change in storage s 2 minus s 1. So, using this equation now we would like to route the flow through the reservoir and see what kind of outflow we get for a given inflow. The information available to us would be the inflow curve. We also should know how the storage changes with h and how the outflow changes with h of the storage and similarly, q as function of. So, if we have a storage reservoir here initially we should know what is the level let us call it h 0 and then the inflow comes and we want to route it through the reservoir the inflow hydrograph is given as this. So, at time t equal to 0 we know what is the inflow i 0. In fact, the inflow hydrograph is known for all times. So, at any time we can find out what is i from this curve. So, if we take this time step we can use different methods to solve this equation. So, let us write this equation again here, but now in terms of unknown quantities on one side and the known quantities on the other side. So, the same mass balance equation is now written in a slightly different form by putting all the unknown quantities s 2 and q 2 both of these are unknowns i 1 s 1 and q 1 they are at the beginning of the time step. So, these are known and as we said i 2 will be known because this entire curve is given to us. So, the inflow hydrograph is completely known therefore, i 2 will also be known to us. The problem now is that this s 2 and q 2 both are functions of h. So, we cannot directly solve for these in a analytical form. So, there are some graphical methods which are available for solving this equation. The commonly used method called the modified pulse method looks at plotting the curve in a little different form. So, that we are plotting s plus q delta t by 2 versus h. So, if you look at this equation the term s plus q delta t by 2 will be a function of h because both s and q depend on h. The plot of s plus q delta t by 2 would look like this on the same graph we can plot q also. So, this will be on a different scale s plus q delta t by 2 of course, delta t we have to decide. For deciding delta t normally it is selected in such a way that the time to peak typically consists of about 5 3 to 5 delta t. So, this time to peak delta t should be roughly about 0.2 to 0.4. So, that is the general criteria for choosing delta t. Once we choose delta t then since we know both s and q as functions of h plotting this curve is straight forward for a given value of delta t. Now, if we look at the equation all these quantities are known at the beginning of the time step. So, with these quantities we can find the sum of s and q delta t by 2. We cannot find individually s 2 and q 2, but the sum is known to us because of this equation. So, from that known value and from this curve we can directly find out h which gives us the head or the water depth at the end of the interval delta t. Now, on the same figure we have this plot of q on this axis. So, this is q and this is s plus on the same graph we have this plot of q and therefore, for this h we will know what is the value of q. So, for the next time step where we need s minus q by q delta t by 2 we can write this in terms of the known variable minus. So, knowing the value of q from here we can find out q delta t also at the end of the time step delta t and since s plus q delta t by 2 is also known at the end from the graph we can subtract it and get the value of this variable at the beginning of the next time step. So, we solve for one step and then for the next step this will become the known value here and it will knowing the inflow we can again get the parameter s plus q delta t by 2 at the end of time step and repeat this process till we route the whole inflow hydrograph through the reservoir. So, this modified pulse method using this graphical procedure gives us the outflow the typical outflow. So, if we have this as the inflow a typical outflow will look like this. So, t this is inflow and outflow where this shows the inflow and this shows thing to notice here is that till the intersection point the inflow is more than outflow and what it means is that the water is going into the storage or the storage is increasing. And then beyond this point the outflow is more than inflow which means that water is being taken out of the storage and the volume of these two should be same because whatever additional water we have deposited into the storage here should come out during this time. And after this the inflow and outflow will be same at the initial level. So, if they reach the initial level again then they will maintain at that initial level the storage will return back to its original position. The two things which should be noted here one is the change in peak discharge this is called attenuation or sometimes peak attenuation means what is the reduction in the peak as the inflow passes through the reservoir. And the other thing which can be seen from here is the lag. So, this is by how much time the peak has been delayed. So, this is important implication in the sense that the flood at the inflow point is occurring at some point in time. But it will have some lag as it passes through the storage reservoir. So, the peak will be reduced and there will be lag also. So, there will be an additional time to peak which downstream locations will get. So, these two are important from in the sense that how much peak is reduced and how much extra time we get will affect our preparation for protecting against flood on the downstream side. So, storage reservoirs thus serve these two important purposes that they reduce the magnitude of the maximum flow or the peak and they also lag the peak discharge by some time. There is another method or sometimes what we do is we prepare another curve s minus q delta t by 2. So, if you look at this equation here what we did was we related s minus q delta t by 2 with s plus q delta t by 2 and minus q delta t. So, every step we had to find this q multiply by delta t and then subtract from s plus q delta t by 2. Sometimes we can directly prepare this plot similar to s plus q delta t by 2. We can prepare another plot which will have s minus delta q delta t by 2 and using this graph we can directly obtain the value without going through that additional step of computation. If we plot the inflow and outflow assuming that it returns back to its original position and as we said there will be a peak attenuation and lag. This point where the inflow and outflow intersect typically will have the largest outflow or the outflow will be maximum and the storage also. Similar to this q max we can plot a curve which shows t versus the level in the reservoir h. It will follow a curve similar to the outflow curve and it will reach a maximum since we say that q is proportional to h to the power 3 by 2. The h will be maximum wherever q is maximum. So, these two times will be the same if we say that q is proportional to h 3 by 2 which normally happens when we have un gated spillway. So, in that case the spillway would be like this that this charge through the spillway will be proportional to 3 by 2 power of h. So, the discharge will be maximum when the head is maximum. If we look at the equation we can see that d s by d t will be 0 when i is equal to o or if we use the symbol q then when inflow is equal to outflow then d s by d t will be equal to 0 and therefore, s will be maximum. Since we say that s is also related with h may be some power m may be some power m or may be a non-linear function of h s will be maximum at some point means that h will also be maximum at that point and q will also therefore, be maximum at that point. So, this shows that the intersection point where i is equal to o represents maximum outflow and maximum storage in the reservoir. In addition to this modified pulse method there is another method which is commonly used known as the Godrich method. In the Godrich method the same equations are written in slightly different form and the form which is used in this case is 2 s 2 by delta t plus q 2. So, it is almost same as the modified pulse method, but a little bit different in the coefficients and the way we modify the equation. So, now we can see that if we plot this term with h again we get a curve similar to this we can plot q also as we had done earlier, but here the computations become a little easier because now we do not have this delta q delta t term we have only this q term here. So, this 2 s 1 term is written as this term which is the same as this is obtained in a manner similar to that modified pulse method in which we find out the value find out h. Now, corresponding to this h we know the q and therefore, from this value which is known at the end of the time step we just subtract minus 2 q and we will get the value of 2 s over delta t minus q at the beginning of the next time step. So, this makes a little bit easier the computations of the water level under this charge at different times. The other method in addition to these graphical methods may be the use of a numerical method and these days with availability of computers, easy availability of computers and availability of various algorithms to numerically integrate a differential equation it is quite common to use numerical methods. For example, we can take the equation in its differential form the inflow mass outflow d s is the change in storage in time d t and what we can do is we can prepare graphs which relate the area of the reservoir. So, this is the plan area of the reservoir and we can write the change in storage for a little change in h. So, if we have a little change here d h for very small change in d h we can assume that the area is almost constant. So, d s will be given by a d h and this a will be a function of h. So, we can denote this a as a as function of h o is the outflow which we have already seen will be a function of h and i is the inflow which is a function of time. So, we get a differential equation in which the variables a are function of h outflow again a function of h the inflow is a function of time. So, the differential equation can be written as d h by d t because d s we have seen being equal to a d h. So, we can write d h by d t i as a function of t minus outflow which again let us denote by q and divide by the area which is a function of h. We can write this as some function of time and h where this is known function because area is a known function of head inflow is a known function of time and q is a known function of the head over the spell bay. So, this gives us a differential equation of the form d h by d t h and t or d n h which can be solved by using various available numerical techniques. One of the most popular numerical techniques is known as the fourth order Runge-Kota method and is normally taught in all numerical method courses. The equation which we use in this case is knowing the values at the ith interval we can write the values at the i plus first interval as a weighted mean of some d h by d t values which are denoted by k multiply by delta t and adding to the h at the previous time step. The values of k 1 k 2 etcetera are based on the function value h t. So, this is nothing but d h by d t denotes the slope of h versus t curve. So, d h by d t really indicates the slope at any point t. So, k 1 is also a slope, but evaluated at some point which is t i and h i. This is known to us because at t equal to t i we know h equal to h i. Our aim is to find out the value of h t i plus 1. So, what will be this value h i plus 1?  So, this is our aim finding out the value at the end of this time interval h i plus 1. So, what we do here since t i and h i are known we can find a slope d h by d t at the point t i h i. Using this slope we can go to a point which is midway between t i and t i plus 1. Let us call this point t i plus half and the value of h we assume at this point will be based on h i and then the slope which we have used or obtained this is based on the known value. So, k 1 is the value known at x i plus 1. So, this will give us a value of k 2 at half point corresponding to a depth which denotes the slope at the beginning moving up to the midway point. So, this is some h value which we predict based on the original slope of the line at h i t i and the time step delta t by 2. So, this k 1 is known from the initial conditions or at the beginning of the time step k 2 will be known at t i plus half and using the value of k 1 we predict a value at the midpoint. So, k 2 will also be known. Similarly, we can find out k 3 again at the midpoint, but using the new slope k 2. So, this delta t by 2 here and here they are because we are estimating the value at the midpoint and k 4 is evaluated at the end of the time interval. So, t i plus 1 h i, but now using a slope of k 3. So, k 3 delta t and now we use delta t because we want the value at the end of the time interval. So, what these k 1 k 2 k 3 k 4 represent are estimate of slope of the head versus time curve at different times k 1 at the time t i k 2 and k 3 at the time t i plus half and k 4 at t i plus 1 and using these slopes and giving them a weight 1 by 6 for k 1 1 by 3 for k 2 and k 3 and 1 by 6 for k 4. We get some kind of an average slope. So, we can see that this equation can be written as h i plus 1 equal to h i plus some average slope which we can call let us say d h by d t bar into delta t and this d h by d t is a weighted average of the values of d h by d t at beginning end and midpoints. So, this is nothing but 1 by 6 k 1 plus 1 by 3 k 2. So, we assign a weight of 1 by 6 to the first point and the last point and one third, one third to the two estimates which we have obtained for the midpoint. So, using this equation is starting from a known value of h i, we can estimate what will be h i plus 1 at the end of that time period delta t and then we can proceed once we know from a known value of t i and h i taking this delta t t i plus 1. So, using fourth order r k we estimate what is the value at t i plus 1 and then we proceed to the next step t i plus 2. Now, using these two as this is known and this is the unknown value. So, this numerical methods have become quite common recently because of the wide use of computers and easy availability of programs for numerical integration of differential equations. So, these are some methods which can be used to do the storage routing. Similar to this we have channel routing also in which lots of different methods are available. In the channel routing the basic methodology is knowing the inflow at certain point. We want to predict what will be the outflow at some other point and in this case therefore, as compared to the reservoir routing where we had a storage in the reservoir. Now, we have to think of the storage in the channel. So, storage in this area we can represent by let us say s. The channel storage can typically be divided into two parts. For example, if we have water level here and the water the bed level and the water level like this, then we could divide this into two parts. One part which has the same depth throughout and therefore, this will be in the shape of a prism. If you draw the cross section then this part is a prism of this section and of this length and therefore, the storage within this area where the depth is taken same as the downstream depth is called the prism storage. We typically can write this as s p for prism storage. The other portion which is above the prism and below the water surface up to the water level is in the shape of a wedge and is called wedge storage or s. So, total storage in the channel will be a sum of the prism storage and the wedge storage. This storage is used for the routing and the equation which we typically use is that prism storage will be a function of q because the prism storage is taken based on the downstream depth and the outflow the downstream depth will directly affect the outflow. Therefore, the prism storage will be a function of q. The wedge storage s w is typically a function of the nth. So, the total storage s can be written normally for channel routing. We assign some weight to the inflow some weight to the outflow and write the total storage as the wedge storage which is a function of i and prism storage which is a function of q. In this k is a coefficient which is sometimes called a storage time constant m would be an exponent which typically varies from about 0.6 for rectangular channels and it is about 1 for natural cross sections. So, m may vary from 0.6 to 1, x is a weight which decides how much weight we are giving to the inflow for the storage computations and how much weight to the outflow. S is the store in the channel. So, using this equation we can obtain various methods of routing the flood through the channel. So, knowing the inflow we again want to compute outflow q for the channel and one of the methods which is quite commonly used is known as the Muskingum method. In the Muskingum method we take m equal to 1. So, the equations which are written for q in terms of i and o are some function k x i plus 1 minus x. So, as we can compare with the previous equation this m value is taken as 1 in the Muskingum method. Therefore, we will have only i here and q here. x is the weight which is typically for the Muskingum method is taken to vary from 0 to 0.5. 0.5 means we are giving equal weight to the inflow and outflow and 0 means we are giving no weight to the inflow and weight of 1 to the outflow. So, if we put x equal to 0 then we get s equal to k q which is known as a linear reservoir and this is used sometimes in developing the instantaneous unidadographs which we have talked about already, but typically x value less than 0.5 will be used for Muskingum method about 0.3, 0.4 we can use. So, we can write this equation for the mass balance or the continuity using the Muskingum method. We can find the change in storage between two points which one before the interval and one after the end of the interval. So, with the time step of delta t s 2 is at the end of the time interval s 1 is in the beginning. Now, this s can be related with i and q using the equation Muskingum equation. So, m equal to 1 and therefore, we can get the change in storage by this equation.  So, we get two equations for one for s 2 minus s 1 from the continuity, one from the Muskingum relationship here between s i and q and using these two equations equating them we can write q 2 which is the unknown in terms of the known quantities i 2, i 1 and q 1. So, i 2 and i 1 are known because i is known for all times q 1 is known because of the beginning of the time step we assume that q is known. This constant c 0 c 1 and c 2 are given as minus k x. So, c 0 is given by this c 1 is expressed as k x and c 2 is given as k 1 minus x minus delta t by 2 k 1 minus x plus delta t by 2. So, using these values of c 0 c 1 c 2 which can be obtained based on k n x and delta t we can write an equation which will be applied repeatedly for different time steps to obtain the unknown q 2 at the end of time step in terms of the known values of i 2, i 1 and q 1. Typically it is done in a tabular form to make the computations easier. There is sometimes it is also written as in a different form as q at any step i related with previous time step value some constant and delta in net inflow before the time step and net inflow after the time step. So, we can write an equation in this form also, but typically the Muskingham method using this form is. So, in today's lecture we have seen the flood routing. There are different methods of routing the flow either through a storage reservoir or through a channel. The storage reservoir routing is also called level pool routing because we assume that the reservoir level is horizontal and we do not account for water level variation inside the reservoir. And there are methods which can be used for the reservoir routing for example, the modified pulse method or got rich method and there are some methods like Muskingham method which can be used for channel routing. So, we have looked at the techniques used for different kinds of routing and in the next lecture we will look at some examples which will explain various aspects of designing for a flood computing the maximum flood discharge routing the floods through storage reservoirs and channels.


So we're here at the TI and who are you? I'm Frank Moisier. So what do you do? I manage the DLP Pico for Texas Instruments. So here you have a really small projector right here? Yeah, this is the world's smallest DLP Pico projector and actually this is getting video and power across USB. So you're looking at about a lot of power here that's getting you about 20 lumens of brightness and the application is really dual screen application. So this is connected into this Microsoft Surface product and we're seeing a video here but you can actually do work on the Surface computer while you're watching a video. So you can have multiple screens, pretty cool product and really the smallest DLP that we've seen out in the marketplace. So how small is your module? Our module is really about this size right here and then the imaging chip is really that small. So can we see the module again? Sure. So this is actually even the higher spec this one, right? Yeah, this is not necessarily the module that goes in there but this is a typical size of a module that would go inside of an embedded type product or inside of a very small standalone product like the one we're sharing with you. So what are we looking at here in the module? You're looking at the illumination and you're looking at the illumination which is LEDs in this case. DLP will work with lasers, it'll work with LEDs but you're seeing illumination here with LEDs, you're seeing the DLP chip set, you're seeing the optics right here and then you've got a little bit of the electronics on the back here. So but this is essentially a projector here in the finger test. So this is so small. These people, makers should be able to integrate this in phones. Yes, well we've seen it in phones already. It's been in several Samsung phones already and we think we'll see more phones over time. And tablets. And tablets. That's correct. That's correct. So that takes us to here. We have, this is a Lenovo Yoga 2 13 inch tablet right here. This has got projection capability that's within the spine and this is up at 40 lumens or so of brightness and this is a fully integrated unit and it's based on our new TRP pixel technology. So it gives you the highest efficiency at a great resolution. What is TRP pixel technology? It's basically Tilt and Roll Pixel technology. We announced it about a year or two ago and it's now going into all of our new chips and it basically allows us to actually tilt the pixel at a higher tilt angle, which allows us for more light capture, higher efficiency chipsets. And it also shrinks the pixel size down to about one-twentieth of a human hair. That allows us to pack more pixels into a given space so it allows us to go to higher resolution in smaller spaces at the highest efficiency levels with the highest brightness levels. So what are you showing right here? This is a product from Philips. It's called the Screnio. This is full set-out box integration, full streaming capabilities. It's got 3.1 sound built in and this is also using ultra short-film technology but essentially it's a screenless TV so we can get images here to at least 100 inches from this very small box. Very near, you just put it near the wall. Yeah, and so you can see right now if I position this depending upon my ambient light condition if I'm in a brighter room I may want to get to a brighter image so I can reduce the size of the image or I can pull the image back and get to a bigger image. So the idea here is this is a lens that does this, right? It's a nice, wide lens. Well, it's DLP technology in conjunction with great optics that Philips has accomplished in this product. And some of the value of this product is that you don't have to hang a screen, you don't have to hang a flat panel, you don't have to connect up the flat panel. So you can get everything right here in this box, you just plug it in and you can get data and content to it wirelessly. So it's a really great solution for a big picture application. It can go into entertainment, it can go into education, it can go into enterprise. So lots of different applications for that product. And then here, let me tell you about this product. This is an HD product from Brookstone. This is the smallest HD product that has hit the market. This is about 200 lumens of brightness. It's based upon our .3 720p chipset. And you can see it's a very sleek design and you can see the image quality, how awesome that is, great contrast ratio, great color quality, and then also great efficiency. So this is packing 200 lumens. Nothing like this has ever been accomplished before. So this is a real milestone for the industry. How did they manage to do this? Based upon our .3 720p technology. So it's really this chip right here. Again, based upon this pixel size and the tilt angle here, we're able to capture more light energy than ever before. And then this has got some great processing power in it. It's got something called Intellibrite. And Intellibrite actually looks at scene by scene data to optimize the illumination. It also uses ambient light sensing to optimize the picture. So you're seeing electronic improvements. You're seeing image improvements that are behind creating this groundbreaking product. Does TI DLP make the best contrast, the best colors in the whole market? DLP is known for being in 90% of the cinemas in the world that require great colors and great contrast ratio. That same technology, that same core technology, is what we're bringing here into the pico space. And so we're taking that technology, which has great image quality. It has great contrast ratio, great colors into all of these small form factors, these tiny form factors that you're seeing. So consumers should be assured that they're seeing some of the best images in the world. So you have 90% market share of cinema in the world? Digital cinema? In the cinema market, about 9 out of every 10 cinemas use DLP cinema technology. And you also the leader and consumer projectors? We play in the consumer market and we're one of the leaders in that market as well. Alright, let's see some more examples. This is, when we look at this product right here, this is from South Korea Telecom. It's, or SKT, is the way they abbreviate it. What's very novel about this product is it also uses our new TRP technology, 854 by 480. This gets to really nice brightness levels. Some novelties, this is the first product that actually pico projector that's using magnetic charging. So you actually can run this. This has a battery in it. And so you can see it just, you can just pop it there and it pops into place. And it fully charges like this? That's correct. The other novelty about this product is that it has mirror cast capabilities, wireless mirror cast capabilities. So it's getting the content through this tablet right now. And so you can stream content to it. And the battery life is at least 2 hours on this product. It's really nice design and compact. So this one and that one, they're both battery also. Yeah, these are both battery operated products in fact. How long does the battery last on this? This should be at least 2 hours of battery life on this. It's awesome, it's so compact. Yeah, so you should be able to watch a full length movie on this. People are buying it for enterprise applications where they need to make presentations in a corporate environment. Students are buying it for study groups and sharing. And then you're seeing it go into entertainment avenues as well and then gaming. I'd like to have this with me everywhere. And I have a cinema in any hotel room I go to. Yeah, pretty much. It's amazing. Yeah, it is amazing. And let's go around here. Right here, this is a product that's doing very, very well in China. This is by a company called Jimmy. It's not Xiaomi. No, this is Jimmy. Jimmy. It's XGIMI. And this is a product that, as I mentioned, that is doing very well in China in the screenless TV market. This has full tuner capability. And then if we can get this, we can kind of show you all the available content that comes from here. Now this has all kinds of connectors in the back. Yes, it has all sorts of connection capabilities. And it's a smart projector. It has Android built-in. This has Android built-in. It's running 1280 by 800, so it's HD. And then what you're going to see here is these are all of the channel opportunities that people have available to them. So this is just, when this comes up here, all of the different capabilities of different content that you can get online immediately. So you can just get the box and that's it. Connect directly to the internet. And you have a ton of content. Right, so, particularly for people who are living in a mobile environment, they want to move from place to place. They don't have to pack up a TV that they have to mount. They can go ahead and just take this box anywhere. And then it wirelessly connects to the internet. To all degree of demand. And so that's correct. In theory it could be Netflix and YouTube and all the Chinese ones that do that. That's correct. And he's trying to get that up for you right now. Google Play and Movies is there. You can go back to the... Hulu, Google Plus. You can go over to the online. Okay, so this is what we were trying to show you. If you go back once. So this is all the content that's available. These are all the stations, if you will, that you can get access to in China. So this is a really novel approach. It's not dissimilar to what you can do with Chromecast or Broku in conjunction with these devices as well. So there's a potential that you might own the market of huge entertainment. Either there's a backlit TV market or there's a projector. We're just excited to bring these products to market and so we think there's large opportunities for where these products can go and so that makes it really exciting for us. How's the black levels? Let's go to that one over there. Yeah, this is... This one? Yeah. This is a product from Huluject. This is about 400 lumens of brightness. It has all sorts of capabilities. It's very similar to the product that you just saw. It's also smart. This is also a smart projector as well. It has the capability. So it's got a very novel system to actually focus here. You use this controller to do that. Right. Here it is. And then you also use this to control volume as well. And this has... It's a great shelf for when you go there. Nice. That's really cool. And then also this microphone can be a karaoke. So basically, this is a controller and you can do karaoke on it as well. That's cool. So lots of flexibility. ZTE. This is a new product from ZTE. It's basically a hotspot so eight people can connect up to it. This has a novel screen built in right here and so you can basically... As a control panel you can use this LCD control panel which is really a nice feature on the product. This is the S Pro 2. That's correct. And selling in the US. This has just been announced here at the show so it hasn't even started to hit the retail channels yet but I would expect that that would happen here in the first half of 2015. This is a really crazy gadget. There's like tons of things going on here. It is. It's packed with great capabilities. So for example, it will do keystone correction and auto-focus. So you're seeing both those functions happen here. So as I tilt this down, you can still see it's maintained image integrity of the rectangular 16x9 image and then it's also auto-focussed it at the same time. So there's a little camera in there. Yes, it's got camera capabilities to help with the auto-focus. And the camera is smart in a way that it can focus automatically. Yes, it directs that information to the optical engine which then puts it into proper focus. Because DLP needs focusing. There's no way to do an infinite focus system. There's different techniques that are possible with DLP whether you're using lasers or whether you're using LEDs. With LEDs, this is a way of doing auto-focus. When you use LED DLP, you need focusing but there's a way to do auto-focus with a camera. But there's also different designs in the optical engines where optical designers can create very wide depth of field so that it stays in focus of a very wide range. So it just depends upon the application of what is being targeted and what the designers are trying to accomplish. This is certainly a way... This is the second product they release. So that means the first one has already been a success and a bunch of people want to upgrade and that's why they release it. The first one right now is in Sprint stores. You can go buy it. We'll see where this one goes. We'll have to talk to ZTE to find out where they're going to be shipping this product. We're really excited. Image quality is fantastic. I don't know if you're capturing... You can see it here but the black levels are great. Contrast ratio is great. Image is stunning. So we see with HKTE and with the ZTE, this is a telecom market. So it's through the telecom industry that DLP projectors can get distributed. We are seeing these products because they get big picture experience from such a small device. We've seen a lot of interest from the carriers throughout the world in terms of capitalizing on that capability in conjunction with mobile devices. All right. Okay. So there we are doing Miracast again. Yeah, this is Miracast to this model from ATHTEC. This is a 100 lumen plus model and it has Miracast capability so it's getting content here from this tablet. All right. And then moving on over here. ATHEC has been pretty successful with their projectors. Yep, they have a very strong presence in the European market. One of the leaders in Pico, no? They sell tons. They're a great customer and we love ATHEC. So if you look at here, this is a product from LG. This is based upon our new .3720P. This also has TV capability right here so you can get TV on demand through this. It's got a TV tuner built in. That's crazy. This size you have a TV tuner built in? This is at 300 lumens and you can kind of see the image quality, how clear it is. And also you can see the color quality, contrast ratio. You can just see how nice that is. So when you talk about 300 lumen, TI, DLP, LED, it seems brighter than competing technologies when you talk lumen amounts, right? Yeah, we're able to get to really nice brightness levels because of the architecture of DLP. The way it works with LEDs allows it to get to really fantastic efficiency levels and that's really one of the reasons why people use it in their products and we're really excited about the capability. The way it looks, is it kind of like 50% or double the 300 lumen TI, DLP, LED? It might be similar kind of feeling as a 600 in another technology. There's no question that the saturated color nature of the LEDs allows the perceived brightness to be higher than what we typically look at because the colors are so saturated. So that makes it perceived to be much higher brightness levels, that's true. And how does it compare to the backlit technologies, the LCDs? How are your black levels and the colors? Well, you can see that for yourself. The black levels are very, very strong. The contrast ratios are very strong and we think that's just going to get better over time. We see contrast improvements happening at the panel level, at the optical engine level but also as a function of some of the electronics and processing, image processing that's now going on in some of these products. And this is kind of like the way it was intended to be seen, like a cinema. The filmmakers designed their movies for that, kind of, right? Depending upon where the optical engine manufacturers want to optimize the color gamut, they can target various color gamuts whether it's more of a Hollywood color gamut or more saturated, that's really up to the manufacturer where they want to position that. So let's see some of the other crazy things you have over here. Yeah, there's some really cool stuff over here. What's going on here? Okay, this is a product from Perch. This is, you're seeing this projection coming out at the top of this box right here but really the projector is really only this size, that small, just the palm of my hands creating this image that you're seeing right here. If you look at it, they're also using camera technology purchase to be able to do some of the interactivity that we're going to demonstrate for you. So when we look at this, you can kind of see that this is just a regular surface, there's nothing special about it and we're able to do touch activity this way. And then we can move this off and it can provide information about the product. We can get even deeper information about the product, put it back. So there's a couple of things that are happening here. One is that the projection is serving as illumination for this, it's also capable of providing all the informational content and also in the future you can imagine that the projection can actually put images on these products itself. That's not there today but that's something that's certainly possible. So this kind of interaction with projectors is absolutely awesome. This is kind of like just starting still, right? Yeah, the coolest thing about it is that it makes any surface a display. And a touch display. And a touch display, and an interactivity display. You're right. So we're really excited about that and it's really possible now, especially because of all the technology developments that are happening at the chipset level but also from our partners. We have some great optical engine guys like the best in the industry that are working on DLP and so we could expect really great things to continue to happen in the future. So hardware makers from all over the world should contact you and you can connect them with the technology companies that are able to design these kinds of solutions for table touch. Absolutely. We've got optical engine guys and people can go out to ti.com and go look at all the stuff under our video and data display. We have data sheets out there. We have EVMs that people can go by today where the developers can start to experiment with the technology. And then we've got lists of different optical engine companies that they can go to and they can go even procure those optical engines through our website. So a lot of activity. We're making it very easy for developers to get started with the technology. I think TI DLP is totally awesome for entertainment but I think the Pico projector on the table is even going to be bigger. It's going to be bigger. The interactive is awesome. This kind of stuff. And now I want to have a smartphone or a tablet make a huge table touch. The possibilities are really pretty cool. And here's an example. This is a great new product from HP. This is called the HP Sprout. This really is a full desktop PC but it also combines virtual world and physical world at the speed of thought. So let me take you through a demonstration here. We're going to just simply create a postcard. So we go in here. We select, we're going to pick New York which is my favorite city. So we bring that down here. And then we're going to say, okay, yeah, that's the image we want. And now we go over to the camera and we're going to want to put some things in here. Let's put a butterfly. Let's put this orange and this star in here. And now we're going to just go ahead and take a picture of these. Now we're just taking a 2D picture. This has cameras in it that allow for 3D capture. And HP will actually be working on that capability in a more extensive way moving forward. So it can actually take a 3D capture. Right now you're capturing in 2D and then what are you going to do with it? Now we've got images here that are now, yeah. So now we can move those images around in this document. So you took away the orange but it's still there. That's it. That's exactly right. And so we're going to actually put it in the skyline of New York City and put a star up there and we're going to say You can make the butterfly bigger? That's right. And we're going to say and we're going to now put a message in here and we can do this message we can actually do this message here with your finger you can write with your finger so we're going to say welcome here and then we're going to take or we can use a stylus pen. A stylus somewhere. You can just use anything, right? I know there's a stylus. But we'll write it right now, we'll write it with our hands. So we'll say welcome charbacks right? We'll say welcome charbacks to DLP and then we'll say that looks good. Maybe it could look a little better if you had more artistic capability but we'll leave that right now. Now we're going to go say we want to add a picture of you and so here you are and there you are in the document. We may put you right up here in this corner. You can make me bigger? Yes, you can make you bigger, you can make it smaller. So it's fully interactive. The touch surface here is really, really nice. It allows you to really get very high precision interaction. So we'll say okay we're going to save that and now we're going to put some other images in here. We want an apple because it's the big apple and pizza isn't like New York pizza. So we're going to put this over here. We're going to put the apple right there and then we're going to say okay that's done, it's finished right here and now it will load up on the screen and that's our creation postcard. This is like a all in one Windows PC with the second display that's touch DLP. That's one way to describe it. And it's real, it's not just a prototype or something. That just started shipping into the marketplace. We expect really great things to happen on this product but then also in the future with this technology. HB is doing an awesome job with it. So this is really awesome. You don't even need to be in a really dark room but if you are it's even more immersive like computing. This is the brightness and the brightness of the projected image here is such that you can really operate it in any indoor environment. Because it's not too far the distance so you don't need to have thousands of lumens for it to be awesome. Any indoor environment would work great. Final thing is on this ASUS product. It's a P3B it's the latest product, it's battery operated it's HD this is at 700 lumens and it's got the ability to be on battery for a couple of hours or to be plugged in as well. It also has auto keystone correction really a great product. Speakers? Yes it's got speaker capability as well. So it's kind of like a Bluetooth speaker quality and then you have a home theater without needing to bring huge speakers to any. You could also add in satellite speakers if you'd like but it's got audio built in. So this is beautiful. The 800p the 1280x800 LED DLP is really popular it's a great product. It is a great product. And it lasts for 30,000 hours right without having to change the bulb. LEDs have a long life time you'd have to go to the LED manufacturer but it is a very high long lifetime so really for the life of the product there's no changing any bulbs or anything like that. You can for sure use it for 10 years. It's all solid state illumination. Everything we've shared with you today and then what you're not seeing here is avagants got some virtual reality glasses that are happening in the Sands Convention Center and then we've also got Viewsix is also showing DLP based glasses in their booth as well so you can check them out. I did a video with them. It projects into a prism in front of you. Yeah it's very very cool. So you're in the future of Google Glass. You're in the future of virtual reality and virtual reality. Both are showing here. You're going to see more of that over time in 2015, 2016. And that's what we have for you. How about 1080p and 4K? 1080p we announced samples in December that were the smallest DLP 1080p that's ever been built and that's also on our new TRP high degree tilt technology. So we announced. And so that is now that is in samples. LG is actually showing one of the first products in their booth. They're going to be shipping that to actually it's going to be in Best Buy in March. In March? How big is it? It's a little bit bigger than because you need a bigger light engine. It's a little bigger than this and that's partially because they went for a higher brightness product. You could make it that small? 1080p? You can get 1080p into these form factors. We will see that in the future. And this is an example of the new 1080p chip right there. Let me see. So there's a 1080p chip that means it's bigger than a 720p chip? It is a bit bigger than a 720p. You can see kind of see the difference there in terms of size. But you will be able to enable these kind of form factor products even smaller than the one that we're showing right here with this device. We're seeing 1080p, we're seeing customers take this into these products as everything from near-eye display, low brightness applications all the way up to very high brightness applications. I don't want to ask into something that's not announced but I guess 4K would be even bigger like this. It would need to be bigger. We'll have to keep a little suspense on that one. We have a couple of ideas. And working on all kinds of color improvement technologies and stuff like that all the time. We're always working on continuous improvement to the performance of our products. But we're very, very excited about these products right now. Thanks to you, millions of people have a cinema at home. Let's hope that continues to become a bigger number.


Hey, y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to a new week in my life and happy Valentine's Day I got my pink hand-knit sweater on. I feel like I've been wearing it so often because I know after Valentine's Day It's just not gonna be a thing I like gravitate towards so getting all of my use out of it It's so cute and so thick and such good quality. It's from misguided But I think it sold out it literally was like out of stock on the website when it arrived at my house I was like no because people were asking for the link But misguided does have like a lot of cute hand-knit things on their website So definitely go check it out We're gonna start off the morning by going to Easy Tiger and I wanted to get just like a loaf of bread like sourdough I've always wanted to get it from Easy Tiger and I think that they have breakfast there too So we're gonna see what they have it is Valentine's Day So we wanted to do a cute little breakfast date and then I want to spend some time like meal prepping Slash some meal planning not prepping we were gonna go home on Thursday back to Georgia But then we decided not to so now I can actually go grocery shopping and try to eat healthy And just like plan that out I am on the hunt for these veggie straws the spicy the hot ones and I think only Target has them So I might do that also I took off my press on nails to my Valentine's Day ones They were on my nails for so long and I'm gonna put some new ones on either today or tomorrow We just got done eating at Easy Tiger and Ryan's been there before but have you tried their food? Yeah, they're burger last night. Oh I forgot I forgot but yeah, they're on my waffle fries. I did want your waffle fries and you wouldn't give me some No, I ate two Anyways, they were really good. Everything we got was really really good Definitely would go back and honestly like work from there because they had like a lot of space and a lot of outlets And they had coffee. They didn't have matcha, but they didn't have chai Yeah, they played the best low-fi beats We're headed to the Mueller h eb because our h eb in East Austin Sucks every time we've been there in the past like a couple weeks. They never have the things that we're looking for I guess it's not a super h eb Which I did not realize that there were like different kinds of h eb's so that kind of sucks because it's easy to Go there and it's in the area But I have like a whole grocery list. I did like a rough draft of some meals I want to make this week and I'm gonna use my air fryer again. So I'm excited about that The best margarita mix. Oh wait, nope. That's not it Thanks, though Did my nails and these are the static nails usually I do all of in June press-ons But this is my first time using static nails and There are a lot thinner than I was expecting so I'll keep you guys updated on how I like them and how long they last but We're gonna do a little hammock session We haven't used this hammock in so long because it's been really cold, but we're getting hungry too So we're gonna make steak tonight happy Valentine's Day. I saw another guy with it in his car I thought it was funny I thought we were gonna watch it, but the Pamela Anderson Movie I guess on Hulu, but then Ryan just reminded me that bachelor's on in six minutes Morning it is Tuesday and today is a content day I'm actually shooting with one of my friends later tonight, but I'm just gonna be doing Just random content around the house probably Today and I just got ready curled my hair. It's a little bit tight But I'm gonna just like not really do anything to it so I can let it fall throughout the day I don't know if I said this yesterday, but I'm trying out this like new morning routine this week And I'm trying to get up at 6 a.m. And go straight to the gym and walk five miles every single day So it's been going really good actually. It's not as hard as I thought waking up that early and Yesterday I did take like a 20-minute nap, but I didn't feel as guilty Because I just had so much time because I woke up a little bit earlier. So I'll keep you guys updated on how I like it I just do like three in kind at three speed and Just do five miles of it which takes a little under two hours So that's why I kind of wanted to start early and just get it done currently 9 a.m. And I'm starving so I thought I would do Something with my sourdough. Honestly, I might just have like sourdough and butter. I'm probably a banana Maybe just keep it simple for today Ryan was gonna get coffee somewhere So we ended up at Starbucks and I had to get my granddad ice-cream mocha This time I got it half-calf because I was feeling a little bit sleepy and I needed some energy usually I just get a decaf because Most of the time I don't need energy and I just like get like shaky and anxious But it's very yummy. It's literally like chocolate milk, but we're gonna go home I need to do the freaking laundry that's been on our bedroom floor for like Yeah, we need to do it. Thank you We got home and now I'm doing everything I can to not have to do the laundry Just trying to put it off and I know I need to get it done because I also I'm shooting with my friend I think I already said that maybe not I'm shooting with my friend later tonight And I need to pull some outfits, but what if some things are dirty and I need to be able to see them So I need to do the laundry ASAP so I can style my outfits. I actually got another package from DPQ I think I unboxed it on my last Vlog, but they sent me another one of these PR packages And I wanted to do a little giveaway in this YouTube video because I feel like I have not done a giveaway on YouTube in Forever and I thought it would just be fun because I feel like the people who watch my week in my lives are The people that you know come to my channel every week to watch these and I just want to show my love to you guys So I am going to be doing a giveaway for this PR box The lighting is really weird right now. It goes like warm tones cool tone I don't know the sun's doing some weird stuff, but I wanted to show you guys what this PR package has in it So basically their new hair care Almost dropped everything out of it. Their new hair care collection is called color fresh and they have all these different Products like a thermal protection spray blow-dry cream leave-and-miss. There's actually three more products in here underneath this And so these products are meant to really help your hair color like stay Vibrant and just bright and you know how it looked the first time you got it done because Justin Anderson the guy right here is a Celebrity hair stylist and he noticed that celebs hair was just like getting a little bit dull And he found out that like a lot of the products they use have a little bit of color in them And that's what was making them dull I have to do to win this box is to subscribe to me here on YouTube and then comment on this vlog Something that you want to see more of in my weekly vlogs things that you want to see less of Things you want me to talk about more of just like anything these weekly vlogs have quickly become my passion project And I just want to make them the best that they can be in your YouTube comment Make sure you add your Instagram handle and then go follow me on Instagram and comment on this photo So that I know you've entered and I have a way to like contact you and get your address and all that fun stuff So I'm very excited to be giving this box away. I've already used some of my hair products Obviously I have not touched this box and also the giveaway is US based only we brought the wagon out You know what that means? I got a lot of packages that I had to wheel back. So let's do an unboxing first let's start with something I got from amazon and It is like a big investment and you guys may think it's a dumb investment But I've been thinking about it for a really long time and so I just kind of bit the bullet so This is the peak design carbon fiber travel tripod And it is expensive Let me just tell you that this shit is not cheap I always want to take my tripod with me and yes, I could order some cheap Tripod that's really lightweight on amazon But I wouldn't trust that for my actual DSLR to sit on because I use this for Not only my influencing job, but I am a photographer. So I literally cannot have anything happen to my camera You are going to be traveling quite a bit this year definitely more than last year and You know, I want to be a minimalist packer I'm not sure if I could ever actually be one, but this is definitely going to help minimize the weight of My suitcase. So this is how small it is and you're supposed to be able to like put it in a water bottle Um holder on your backpack, which I thought was really cool. This packaging is really nice too Like this is like a leather strap very Well, it should be it doesn't feel as lightweight as I thought it would Well, let's take off the packaging and maybe that will help a little bit Okay, that actually did help a little bit Say hello to my new Tripod the weight of this tripod is 2.81 pounds Um, and then the packed height is 15 Inches it says it does come with lifetime warranty As it should the thing I like about peak designs products Which I actually don't have any of them But I've just heard of them first along because I've been in the photography industry for a while Is that they have a universal plate that all of the products use so if your tripod plate is on your camera You can just quickly remove the tripod and then strap it to like your backpack camera thing they have like a little What's it called? I don't even know but they have like something that you can attach to your backpack strap Which is really cool. So it's very like universal and you're supposed to be able to set up and take down the tripod in like seconds Let's see how fast it really is I mean, I feel like it was like any tripod, right? It does feel like really sturdy though Currently trying to film like an unboxing pr for my tiktok, but I'm so excited about this package This is from caraway and I have been eyeing these pans and pots or whatever for so long they are stunning and I'm just gonna open it up because I need to see it for myself We're all the lids and you can actually put this on like the back of your or the inside of your cabinet So it's all organized Oh my god, I'm so excited. So this is the color I chose. It's actually a gray color They have the cream color which I was Obsessed with but they said that it's the hardest color to like maintain like, you know wear and tear Like it's just gonna like look a little bit dirtier more easily So I thought it would be safe and get the gray So it's something a little bit different for me definitely still neutral But you guys know, I love my like creams and like nudes and stuff like that I love pr, but this is the worst part about it. I've been needing to organize this for the longest time Today's the day since we just got our new caraway pots and pans I'm gonna go shoot some outfits at 5 p.m. Which means I have to leave a little bit earlier But the shoot location is pretty close. So I don't have to leave too much earlier, which is nice This lighting today is going in and out and it's pissing me off Oh, wait, here it goes getting brighter again But anyways as I was saying I have three outfits Usually when I pull outfits for a shoot I try to think of things that I want to shoot if it's an accessory or if it's a top I just got So sometimes I'll put like the newer things in my closet in one space so that I can like You know shoot them whenever I have time But for example, like an accessory like that hat over there Um, we got the green top that I want to shoot and then this bag that I actually just unboxed today It's from Simbono and it is so Stunning and I got this one as well. But Simbono handbags are 100 vegan and cruelty free They sell them at an affordable price with high quality. I mean like look at this It's so pretty Other someone doesn't have me stuffing actually, but this is like the inside I did end up getting them in the same color because I feel like I don't have any like White purses. They're all like black or brown So I'm thinking I could wear this one to like a date night and then this one like if I'm going out because then it's like Easy to throw up your shoulder I'll have a link to Simbono down below if you guys want to check them out I was going to shoot with my friend But she was running late and we didn't really want to rush so we rescheduled to thursday morning And now ryan is going to take my photos. I think we're just going to do waterloo park We shot here before and it was like very like stucco Uh concrete and greenery vibe So it's a cute area and then maybe if there's not much there we could just like go downtown since it's really close The reason I was shooting this outfit was to show off that gg pimp hat I left it at home I'm so dumb, but it's okay. I'm still gonna shoot the outfit. We'll find another outfit. All right, battery's dying Of course, but I'm thinking this vision right here thought so windy It's currently 6 20 right And the sun set at 6 19. We still had a little bit of light. Thank god for the like iphone's Ability to bring in the light when it's dark The second I walked through these doors I threw the chicken in the air fryer with some chicken tacos these things because tonight We're making tequitos in the air fryer and I saw this on tiktok I just saw like a random recipe. It's like that looks good and easy So we're gonna try that tonight, but shooting went really well even though it was really windy And we were losing sunlight, but ryn's honestly the greatest photographer He just knows my angles. He knows what I like, but yeah, the photos turned out really really good So I'm excited to post them. Oh, we can tell them what you do for work now A question that gotten a couple of times on my vlogs is what does ryn do for work because Yes, I'm definitely different than what he used to do. I don't know if it's too loud because of the air fryer So we'll take you in here. What do you do for work? I actually put my job to go full-time as an influencer Try getting hats. Oh my god Now for a uh, well, what did you used to do? I used to sell software at oracle That's what brought us to Austin. Yeah, exactly that job which are their headquarters is To my riverside, right? Yeah It's all kind of yeah, whatever sure, but um Um But now I work for a global mergers and acquisitions company Uh, basically as a principal consultant, which means Kind of just in their sales department and kind of bring them on board and then through to close So Yeah, it's not many employees in the company really it's kind of a startup Um, so kind of wear a lot of hats in the company right now But there's a lot of marketing copywriting. Yeah for the website that too. Yeah, but my main job every day is pretty much sales Working, you know sales calls bringing people on board. Yeah outreach meetings And how do you feel about not? Yeah, not being at oracle anymore. Yeah oracles kind of person I like this new job. It's pretty flexible. Yeah good boss It's fun We're still trying to figure out the whole air fryer thing and like how long things should be in there So I put the chicken in there for like 25 minutes. I don't even know if that's too long or not But ryan actually used it today for his like frozen chicken patties, which kind of made me happy because I want our our you know appliances to get used No, we're not talking here in the clip. It's a wide angle lens ryan with his margarita I was just saying how you use the air fryer today and it made me happy To do well Chicken patties Morning, it is Wednesday and it is like 10 a.m. And I'm about to film My video that I'm supposed to post today. I did this last week and I'm kind of annoyed at myself because I'm not sticking to my schedule Um, I made like a little rough draft You can see it in like one of my first weekly vlogs of the year of just like my schedule ever since I'm self-employed I just need to be a little bit more organized and I have not been sticking to that So then I just stressed the day of when you know, it's posting day But I'm gonna do a q&a you guys ask a lot of good questions on instagram And if you guys want to be a part of the next q&a you can go follow me over there It is so underscored gnarly without the g my feed content is popping like I just feel like the photos are so good Like I said ryan takes like majority of my pictures and he's honestly so good at it But I'm about to switch my lens so I can film this Q&A and we'll get on with the day today is going to be a cleaning day. I swear I say this every day, but Today I'm just like over it. It really just needs to happen and just be done The laundry is still on our bedroom floor. So Just made some lunch. I literally did the same exact salad that I did yesterday today. I accidentally forgot the raisins and Now I know that the raisins really make the salad. I feel like I love like a sweet salty kind of thing I've also been editing and we cleaned the room. We finally did our laundry I still have clothes to hang though in my filming room. So I need to do that today too But I am going to get ready for a shoot. I'm doing like a real estate headshot kind of thing at What's it called auditorium shores? I've shot with them a couple times before the shoot is at 3 30 But parking there is just sometimes so annoying I mean usually during sunset when everyone's trying to walk their dogs and just get some air So it shouldn't be too bad right now, but I don't want to chance it. So I'll probably head out a little bit earlier Happy thursday yesterday ended the vlog pretty early in the day like right after my shoot Just because I was not doing anything after that I ended up just eating like a frozen meal for dinner And then we ended up watching like one episode of that Hulu series. I can't remember what it's called But it's like Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson and it is actually so interesting and I have so many questions because I Didn't really like know the situation before I started watching this so like at first I was really confused but I wonder if like the whole storyline is like true With the guy like leaking it and everything. I I wonder if he's still alive. Like I wonder where he is I just have so many questions. I didn't even know like they knew who did it But highly recommend because just like the production of it all and the storytelling is really freaking good So I'm like actually Interested in the show or as we started watching only murders in the building and I've heard so Many good things about this damn show and it just like kind of was a disappointment Also, no hate because I know people like either really really love Selena Gomez or like don't really love her I'm kind of on the don't really love her side because her acting like why does she get hired? I'm just wondering is it because her name or do they think she's a good actor because I personally don't and it literally makes Me cringe every time she talks in a show because she's so monotone and Like maybe that's like every character she plays. I feel like this show specifically like her character is just not it Um So yeah, I don't know if we'll ever finish that but we haven't I think we're like halfway through but Ryan's really into it I just like cannot get into that show.  I'm at south congress right now I just parked in a parallel parking spot. I got one. I don't know why but it's always so Packed even in the mornings like at first when music lane was starting to get built Like there was just so many construction cars, but now I'm just like Who's here at 8 a.m? Like the stores don't even open so it couldn't be like the employees and they probably have like a parking pass for the Um garage, so I don't know doesn't really make sense, but I'm about to put on some lipstick. This is catwalking from charlotte tulberry and Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to tell you guys what I did yesterday in my filming room I have this mirror that I bought on amazon I think like when I moved into my first post-grad apartment and it's pretty like skinny I think it was like a hundred bucks a lot of the way fair one said they weren't gonna ship until You know like months after or they were just like really expensive for not like the right dimensions that I wanted So then I went on cb2 and I convinced myself that I needed this really expensive mirror The infinity mirror and I wasn't even gonna get the bigger size because I don't even have space for that in the filming room So I was just gonna get the like normal size and I bought it And then I FaceTime Lara for like two hours. I swear we like FaceTime for so Long every time we FaceTime, but we don't talk like super often So like whenever we do talk we have so much to say and we like can never shut up And I'm really hoping to go to New York this year To see her so I'm making it happen every other year like the timing just wasn't right and like obviously if I'm going to Go to New York for like the first time in a while like I want to go during a good time too And all that kind of stuff. Anyways, so She was like senali.  You need to go get it I haven't canceled my cb2 order yet I didn't get that figured out today And the other thing was the size that I picked of the cb2 mirror Said that it was ready to like ship out It was in stock and everything like that, but the delivery people can't come until March 9th It was like the first day I was able to like select for them to do like the in-home delivery I was like, no, we cannot push this apartment tour back But I was like, you know what? I'm gonna be happy with it It's gonna be worth it. And then Laura was just showing me like all her mirror selfies and how like big it actually looks I was just like, okay, like I'm just gonna get this damn IKEA mirror So I don't know if we're gonna go today or tomorrow or the weekend But either way, I'm definitely gonna vlog it for you guys because Ryan's never been to an IKEA And I've been wanting to go just to like have an IKEA day Even though dang it. This is like a noob. I need to sharpen it So that was the most exciting interesting dramatic part of yesterday So I think I caught you guys all up in front of love shack fancy Not for my outfit. You guys know this is not my vibe, but definitely hers to outfit number two Haricup it's the nollie always is she waits like until the very last second But your ends actually don't look that bad. I feel you're just the front pieces And that's usually common because you always put it's getting so long and I don't want to cut it Like next time if we do a haircut, can we like literally not take anything? We'll just do a baby trim. That's what I like to call a baby trim Okay, and also where are you? Where's your new salon because people are after ATX and it's near B cave in linkway. I also got a lot of deals when I did Sonali's hair last But I was about to go on maternity leave, but I am back. So yes, I said I was on a maternity leave. I'm no longer Yes. Yay. Okay shoe is over We are done And what time is it like not even 10 a.m. 9 36. Hell yeah Ryan told me to check the fridge Looks really good too. I was just thinking I should make myself a chai But then I was like, eh, maybe we'll wait till we get like a nice drink today Not a nice drink, but you know like a fun beverage Ryan read my mind cheers first sip. The foam tastes really weird and it says exactly They did it with soy milk Update Ryan said that they did not have any oat milk. So we got soy. It's the thought that counts I can't remember if I told you guys about my blister situation on my feet But I was trying to do like the five miles a day. Yesterday. I only did three because of my blister situation I think my toes were just rubbing too close together Um, so Ryan thinks that I need wider shoes And when I was looking at wider shoes and Ryan actually said like these shoes would be cool He was talking about the new balance Do you know the number? It's like 9 9 85. Yeah Very long number very like random thing Why why are shoes like such random like little numbers and letters? Well, we started out the 9 90s Then the 93s, which I always were And then they updated them every time just the v2 v3 v4 v5. Why can't they just have them be a name? It's the same shoe model. They just update the shoe model. I know, but why can't they just Like have them be like new balance Elites or like a car, you know, this is a Cadillac srx. Well, I guess that's not srx Yeah, never mind. This is like the it's like a GM Cadillac srx with whatever package It's like an inigo Ford f-150 lariat with blank, you know, I mean Any hoodles Laura actually has these shoes and I was asking her like what does she think about them? Are they really comfortable because I saw that they have them in x x wide Which I feel like I never see in shoes. So that's what made me really interested in them So we're here at Dick's sporting goods to see if they have Them here and hopefully they have my size slash like all the different widths So that I could like really see and really try them on Update on the new balance is we couldn't find them at Dick's sporting goods So then we went to this place called instep. I don't know it's kind of random And they had the shoes but they didn't have it in the extra or the wide size They only have it in the regular size and the wide is like why I want the shoes So I ended up just purchasing them from new balance calm because I just didn't really want to go on a hunting game All around Austin for these dang shoes, but I did pay for a two-day shipping. So hopefully they arrive pretty fast But now we're going to try a new restaurant here in Austin, which is like one of my favorite things to do My friend charine actually recommended this place. It's like they sell Hand rolls. So if you're not familiar with sushi, there's like sashimi. That's just like the meat of the fish Maybe in some sauce or just like alone nigiri is the one with the fish and the rice on the bottom and then hand rolls are like conum seaweed with rice and fish and vegetables inside So apparently they're like five dollars each. I'm not really sure like how many we need to get to like fill up But ryan asked me what I want for lunch and I was like, this is actually a really good time to try it out So we're gonna go do that and it's in this area called springdale general I think that's what it's called. We have literally never seen this I try passes every day or near it every day in every room. Yeah, like I'm so confused It's like a little like food hall and I've never even heard of it either So I'm just like why haven't people not talked about it. So if you guys are in Austin, I'm gonna show you guys around It's really cool.  So let's go check it out Cross from the food hall are all these cute little stores And this one in particular is a pottery studio. So I guess they have like classes Little pottery wheels. I think that's so cool. And then this one over here is like a paper Paper store card store. We know right here of just colorful pens We've been trying some out just reading my name down here, but these Looks so familiar to me. Like this is my childhood right here. These like little gel pens. They're so fun Let's give it a review What do we think? Yeah Honestly a nine out of ten for me. It was really good. It really like really hit the spot I got the salmon skin super good. It was cooked. I usually go for a raw fish But I also got the hamatoro sake toro And he liked the hamatoro better Uh, that was like the white fish and then the sake toro would probably be white Happy Friday. I'm starting the vlog off a little later in the day. It's 2 p.m I woke up at 6 30. I was like snoozing my alarm very hard today Um, but I did three miles. I guess the vacuum wants to start or maybe it's just talking itself um, but I did three miles on the treadmill and my blisters are getting better But my new balance shoes just shit. So hopefully they get here before Monday I think I'm gonna like take the weekends off Or just like try to be active but not have to like actually go to the gym and work out Like maybe just like do a hike or something also. I have no idea what my hair is doing I pretty much went straight from the gym to the shower then to ut for a blogger shoot Um, so then I came home at like 10 30. So since then I've just been on my computer Watching YouTube and I also ended up finishing my week in my life vlog Obviously, I will have to edit Friday's stuff But I just feel a sense of relief because I feel like the past week in my life vlogs I've just been like sitting out the computer like every Like Friday to Saturday and I want to try as hard as possible to not have to really work on the weekends like I can vlog and like film content just because that's fun for me but like editing and Just like other stuff. I'm gonna really try to make that like weekdays work I did want to give you an update on my static nails. So I think I put them on on Monday And I had a little chip in this nail right here As you can see and it literally like Split down the middle. I have no idea what I did to do that.  I feel like especially with the french nails since Like this part is in painted white. You can like see it. I don't know if I'm making sense, but basically I don't know if I love these static nails. Like maybe I'll try Well, obviously I will try it because I bought it um Maybe I'll try like a colored like a solid colored one and see how I like that But for now my review is that I think I like Alvin june once better So I will keep you guys updated in the next time I try static nails because I'm gonna have to Do one soon because I don't know if I'll be able to like freaking look at this nail Actually, it doesn't look that bad in the camera But like when you're looking like this and like oh I hate having a chip nail um But I just received an email from Caitlyn Who is helping with my rebrand and it is like the day that she sent all my deliverables and it's like Pretty much finalized. I think I can make a few edits, but I thought we could go through it together because I'm really excited and yeah, let's do it on one of our first calls We went over like who my audience is and that would really help me to Just create content better for like my audience Obviously, these aren't my photos, but I love this vibe so much And this is another one. So cute. Love the green. Love the white outline We're back at springdale general because ryan actually made a haircut appointment for the one of the places inside So here's her before and after And he's getting his eyebrows done today It's almost 7 p.m. And I think we left the house at like three And I was not expecting to be out that long I came with ryan to go get his haircut and just like worked at the springdale general And I actually got a lot done because the haircut was so long It was over an hour and I was like, how long does it take you to cut a freaking guy's head? But it's also funny how different guys look after they get their haircut Because like whenever I get my haircut it's like a trim or even just like hair dyed Sometimes it's not even that big of a difference like It maybe like looks a little different, but it doesn't make me Like look more attractive. I don't know. I just feel like ryan always looks so good after he gets his haircut Then he made his own brow appointment. I was like, who are you? So I need to show you guys his glove. I totally forgot to film I'm not really sure where he is that he might be out picking up tacos or Taking out sophie since we were in the area. We actually went to Central market and We got some um Guac ingredients because ryan wants to make guac and just do margs at home So he might be getting tacos Also, and then I couldn't leave central market without my king trumpet mushrooms So I think we're gonna do This for tomorrow's dinner. My friend mckinsey just texted me um to see if I wanted to go bowling tonight But I feel like We're making guac, you know, I feel like it's a night in kind of night Even though like every weekday is a night in but I think tomorrow We might try to go out on the east side because we've been saying we want to go out on the east side Like we've been to whistlers And I think we tried to go out to sunbars for my birthday, but we ended up just going to west So we really want to explore the east side so that could be fun And I'm definitely going to be vlogging this weekend, especially because tomorrow we are going to ikea I already told ryan and we're making his date and I'm getting that mirror and I'm hoping it's in stock You know sometimes like it'll say it's in stock online and then when you get to the store It's non-stock. That's happened to me like a hundred thousand times at heb.  How'd I do on the guac? I'm really good. I had some more lines for you, so Okay, and he made us mars


Welcome to the Voice of America's Newswords. Union Pacific Railroad Cars in Los Angeles, California are a target of robbers. Litter These packages were on their way to buyers before they were damaged by criminals. The governor of California called the crimes organized theft. He helped clean up the massive amount of litter from the tracks. Litter is pieces of trash or waste left outdoors by humans. It is one kind of pollution. But litter can also mean something lovely. A litter of kittens, for example, are the newborn cats produced from a single pregnancy.
