Hello, friends. I am Sanjay Bhukta. I welcome you on Sanjay Bhukta Tech School. In this video, I'm going to explain these three points which I mentioned in front of you. So first I'm going to explain pointer, then I will be covering pointer to pointer. And lastly, I will explain you how we can use carry-off pointer. So I will be explaining all these points with the help of C-language. But before start, I want to share one information. If you go to description of this video, you will see links of various playlists related to C-language videos. So if you want to watch more programming related videos, you can follow those playlist. Now after this information, first I'm going to explain you what is pointer and how you can use it in C-language. So first I'm going to write one line statement that will explain the use of pointer. So pointer is a variable which can store address of memory location. And in programming, the memory location will be known as variable. So after declaring pointer in your C program, we will be having two type of variables. One that we are already using while implementing programming C that are normal variables which store values provided by the user. But if you want to store address of that memory location that is we are using as a variable, then we need one more variable and that variable is known as pointer. So this is a simple one line statement whenever you want to tell what is pointer. So you can use this statement. Now I'm going to take one simple example so that you can understand how you can get your pointer. So this is very common statement that you might have used in every C program that is int equals to 5. So here this a will be known as variable and this variable is storing value as 5 and let's say this is the memory location of this variable. So A is the name of this memory location. 5 is the value that is stored inside this memory location. And if we are talking about 16 bit compiler. So this A which is of indies that are variable, it will be having two bytes of memory and two bytes means we need two different addresses. So let's assume it is having two different addresses as 101 and 102. So actually it will be having two addresses and total size of this memory will be two bytes. Total size of this memory will be two bytes and we can say 16 bits. So first 8 bit will be having 101 as address. Another 8 bits will be having 102 as address. So these are addresses. This is a value and this is name of memory location. So this is what happens when we write this statement. Now if you want to access this pipe, if you want to access this pipe or you want to assign any other value into this memory. So what you will do, you will use this name that is name of this memory location and that we use with the help of this variable name. So whenever we talk about variable, we only use the name of that memory location. Now if you don't want to use name of that memory location and you want to refer that memory location with the help of address, then pointer comes into the picture. So now I'm going to declare one more statement. So this is pointer declaration. This is pointer declaration and as I said, pointer is also available. So it will be having its own memory where we can store that address. So let's say it is a block named as p and if I write this p equals to ampersand a. So here ampersand means address of. So address of a variable will be assigned into p. So here you can see this is the variable a and its address is 101. So it will be assigned into p and always remember if your memory has more than one addresses. So only beginning address will be assigned into pointer and that address can be known as base address. So if we have this variable as flow time, the flow has four bytes. So we will be having four different addresses, but pointer will be having the beginning address that is known as base address. So whenever you assign address of any variable into any pointer, so pointer will be having base or beginning address of that memory location. So this way I hope you understood how we can assign address of a variable into pointer. Now I'm going to tell you how we can access this value that is available here in this address or how we can change this value that is available on a particular address. So I'm erasing these elements. So now, so this is the important thing that is ampersand. This is another important thing. If you use this asterisk with a variable and you're using data type. So that means you are delivering a pointer. Now, if I write printf %d, %d, a, asterisk p. So you know a will print pipe because we are using this from the beginning from where you started learning programming. So you use this variable to read or print values from the user. But here we are using this asterisk p. So here the meaning of this asterisk is value at address. Here the meaning of this asterisk is value at address. So now you need to learn the difference between this asterisk or this. If you are using data type with a variable and using this asterisk, it means you are delivering a pointer. But if you are not using any data type and still you are using asterisk with a variable sign, it means you are de-referencing that pointer, which means value at address. So if I write simple p, if I write simple p, it means p is value that is 101. So it will provide me 101, but I am using asterisk also. So asterisk means value at address. So I can write this value at address, address is 101 and 101's value is 5. So at the end it will print point. So this way I hope you understood how I accessed value that is stored at this location. So I am able to access this location with the help of its name as well as with the help of this address. So while you are using pointer, it means you can access a particular location, particular memory location with its memory address. So right now you saw how I accessed 5 with the help of its address using pointer. So if pointer is having address of any variable, it means you have control on that variable with the help of that pointer. Now if I write asterisk, let's say I write a equals to 10. So it means we are assigning 10 into 8. So value of a will be 10. Now if I assign this asterisk p equals to 20. So again, you need to de-reference it so you can write it like this for understanding purpose. But actually this happens internally. So we are assigning 20 to this address and 20 will become value of this address. So you can say 101 address memory location is now having value as 20. So it means using this or this both are same. So you can access your memory location with the name of that memory location as well as with the address of that memory location. And if you are using address of that memory location, then that can happen with the help of pointer. So this was the basic that I explained about pointer. Now let's understand it with more examples. So I am going to erase all these things. So now you will relate all these examples with the explanation I explained you. So let's say we have one variable a whose value is 5. Then we have one pointer p. So you can see this memory location, this is for a and this is for p. p is having base address of our memory location a and here its value is 5. Now I can write this. So p will be having base address or beginning address of a. Now I can write this print as percenty percenty a, srp. So it will print 5. Now we are using srp. It means value at address which is available in p. So you can write it like this and value at 101 is 5. So I hope this you now understood. Now if I write this a equals to a plus srp. So it means a is having 5 plus srp. So again you can solve it like this. So srp will also provide 5. So 5 plus 5, a will be having 10 now. And if I again write this. So now you can directly say a is having 10. So it will print 10. Now again I need to solve this srp. So p is also having base address of a that is 101. So I can write srp 101. So now you need to check value at 101. So you need to check the latest value of that address. So 101 is right now having 10. So now output will be 10. So now you need to understand one more thing. So if you see this statement, I modified only a. A is what? A is name of a memory location. So this is the memory location. Its name is a. Right now its value is 10. So if a is having 10. So its address which is 101. So 101 will also be having 10 because a and 101 both are pointing to same location. Both are pointing to same location. So if I assign 10 into a, it means I am technically assigning 10 into 101 as well. Right. So one memory location is identified by two identities. One is name and another one second one is its address. So if you change that memory location with the name, then address uses modified value. If I do vice versa, if I change value through its address, then its name will be having modified. Right. So now I'm going to tell you how we can do that. So this way I can modify the value of any memory location with the help of its address. So that if we go through the sequence, so right now as this P will provide 10 because here you can see 101 value is 10. So we are having 10. A is also 10. So 10 plus 10, 20. 20 will go to as to risk P. As to risk P means value at 101. So value at 101 will become 20. So this way I modified location through its address. So if 101 address is having value as 20. So what will be the value of A? It will be 20 because both are pointing to same location. And if we, if we are modifying that location to address, so name will use the modified value. So now if I write this, so now you need to print a, we can see value of A is 20. And as to risk P. So again dereference it. So it will also print 20 because 101 is also having 20. So I hope this way you understood the use of pointer. So whenever you want to access a memory location through its address, then only you need pointer. Otherwise not. If you want to access your memory location through its name only, not through address, then you don't require any pointer because addresses are available internally, but we are not using them explicitly so pointer is not necessary. But if you want to process that memory location through the address, then pointer is necessary. So this way I hope you understood the first point that is pointer to pointer. Now I'm going to tell you how we can use pointer to pointer. So now I'm going to tell you pointer to pointer. So we understood about pointer. So pointer is available, which can store address of another variable. Now we have pointer to pointer. So pointer to pointer is also available, which can store address of pointer variable. So now we have a chain. First we need to declare a variable then pointer and then pointer to pointer. So here you can see this is a variable, which is equals to 5. This is a pointer that is p and here I'm declaring a double asterisk and double p. So this name can be anything. Right now I'm using pp pointer to pointer short form. So you can use any name here, but you need to use to asterisk. If you want to declare variable as pointer to pointer. So this pointer to pointer can store address of this pointer variable. This pointer variable can store address of this normal. This way we use. And if you want to store address of this pointer to pointer, then further you can also declare this pointer to pointer to pointer. And this can go at any depth. But we don't require these things. We only use pointer and pointer to pointer. Because if we use triple pointer and four pointers and things will become too complex. Right. So this is an option that you can use, but right now we are not using it. So I'm going to explain you how we can use these. So I hope you understood the meaning of these two operators. This is address of. And this is value at address. Right. So if I write this. So I hope you can understand. I am assigning address of p into p. So let's say this is a it's value is five. It's beginning addresses one zero one. Now this is p. It's value will be one zero one. That is address of a address of a is one zero one. So at top I'm mentioning address middle is value. And last one is me. So I'm going to explain you how to do this. And last one is me. So variable a value is five. It's addresses one zero one. Next address you can identify it will be one zero two. And I'm assuming this. These addresses in real. They can be different. So when you will be executing these programs, these examples, you will see different outputs. So don't think output will be one zero one one zero two. So these address I'm assuming they can be different in the other. Again, this is pointer. It's value is one zero one, which is address of eight. And let's say it's addresses two zero one. So again, this is address. This is actually address, but for p, this is a value. And if I declare this pointer to pointer, so this is double p, it's value will be two zero one, which is address of P. And let's say it's addresses. So again, this is address. This is value. And this is me. Right. Now if I like a single print F. Having three percent. Right. And I want to print a. And so this is value. So what will be the output? Because he's having five. Right. So it is a variable name so we can access any memory location through its name so that it can print a particular value. Now if I write a speed. So I already explained you a while explaining a pointer. If we write P. So P means one zero one. So it will provide one zero one. But if I'm writing of it with Astros time. So it's mean value at address and addresses one zero one. So value at one zero one. So value at one zero one is five. So it means P is having one zero one, which is address of this memory location. So if you have a memory address of any memory location, then without using name, you can access it. So what we are doing here. Are you. Now we have double a stress and this variable. So if I write it like this, only double P. So what is the value of double P? It is two zero one. Now if I write one stress, so it means value at address. So what is the value of this address to go to this address? It's value is one zero one. So it will provide one zero one. I'm using one more stress. So that will be applied here as this one zero one. So now again value at this address. So this address is having value is five. So what will be printed? So this way friends, you can use pointer to store address of a variable. You can use pointer to pointer to store address of a pointer. And this will be a chain. So you can use for that pointer to pointer to pointer also. If you want to store address of pointer. So this way I hope you understood how we can manage the pointer and pointer to pointer. So these are basically working on memory addresses. If you want to access any memory to its address, then only you require pointer or pointer to pointer. So I hope you understood till now. I explained this one as well. Now last is area of pointer. So I'm going to erase all these things. So area of pointer is basically a connection. At your point is basically a collection. So I hope you know, come and any collection of something. So if we declare integer added. If I declare this. So it means this variable A will hold 550 values, right? But if I declare this, so this is area of pointer. So if I remove this, so it is a pointer. If I use this, then it is area of pointer. So area of pointer can hold multiple addresses together into a single pointer. So if you want to store more than one addresses into a single pointer, then you can declare that pointer as area of pointer. And let's say I want to store address of these locations which are available in this area. So how I can write P0 equals to address of A0. P1 equals to address of A1 location. P2 equals to address of A2. And so on. Right? So let's say this is area A. Total 5 locations. And these are addresses. So 101 and 102 for this location because area is of integer type. So 2 bytes, then 2 bytes, 2 bytes, 2 bytes and 2 bytes. Two different addresses will be available for each location. Let's say this is area of pointer, which is P. So P0 will be having address of A0. So A0 location is this. It's address is 101, which will be stored inside P0. So P0 will be having address of A0 location, that is 101. Right? So in this area, in this area of pointer, we will be having addresses of all the locations. So through this area of pointer, we can access the values which are stored inside this edit without using name A. Right? So this I told you like how we can store different addresses of A. But if you have different variables in place of this, if you have different variables A, B, C, D, E, 5 variables at 5 different locations. So I'm removing this and this. And let's say you have A at this location. You have B at this location. You have C at this location. So this way, you have 5 different variables and different addresses. Right? And you want to store them practically into a pointer. So then you can convert that pointer into edit pointer. And here you can write like this. So this way, 0 index will be having 101. 1 index will be having 201. Then it will be having 301, 401. And it will be having 0.0. So this way, in this area of pointer, you can store all different addresses together and you can use this area of pointer for accessing their values. So you can apply a loop on this area. So you will be having these addresses. And if you dereference those addresses, then you will be having the values which are inside. Right? And I already told you how you can dereference that. So if you write P0. So P0 will provide 101. So what do you need to do? You need to write this. Asterisk P0. And further, you can put I here, apply a for loop. And with this way, using asterisk PO5, you will be having values of all these different, different locations. So this way, we use area of pointer so that we can store addresses of different locations into a single pointer. So again, I am summarizing this. So pointer can store address of one variable. Pointer to pointer can store address of pointer variable. And area of pointer can store multiple or different location addresses all together into a single pointer. So this way, I hope you understood a basic idea related to these key points. And I hope you explain you understood whatever I explained in this video. And if you want to watch more videos related to pointer. So at the end of this video, you can have a link of playlist that is related to pointer. Also, you can go to description of this video. So there you will find links of various playlist related to key language. So you can follow them and watch videos related to C programming and learn them easily. So I hope you understood whatever I explained. Thank you for watching this video.


Comedy I was feeling some old Monk. Whoa. It's only 11 in the morning. Wow What are you doing right now? I'm feeling some old Monk Like to play a monk, you don't want to play a monk Fine. It's not on my list like dream roles to play a monk What if Quentin Tarantino is directing? Well, of course, but that has nothing to do with the monk It has to do with Tarantino, but if my list of roles that I'd like to play Monk doesn't even make my top 25. I don't have a list like that. Really? Yes, you do You absolutely would like to play a psychopathic killer Number one at the top of the list a nut serial killer. I have yeah second of all But I don't have a list. I mean I have stuff that I'd like but I don't have a list Well, I don't have a literal list. You probably do. I have a Franz list Am I right everyone who likes classical music? What today? We have a video. This is I think a vlog is 14 wacky things about Indian culture Yeah, bring us the whack funny and weird. This is from a channel called drew Binsky binsky that reminds me David Letterman did a thing the top ten things that have never been said on the Sopranos and he got all the cast members of the Sopranos to say one of them Gandolfini's statement. He was of course number one number one thing never said on the Sopranos and Gandolfini looks at the camera and says I Wacked myself He has three point two 3.6 three million some nice Drew. It's obviously a well-established channel And so let's find out about the wacky things about Indian culture. I bet we'll know freak is that scab all about cancer.  I have no idea what's happening right now But in the morning is the best time of the day to explore you have a 1.4 billion people that come in all shapes colors and sizes Speaking 720 dialects and practicing a half dozen major religions for every church I see there's two mosques and three Hindu temples. Whoa India is a land of surprises That's awesome, which we color like that here went for holy after spending almost four months traveling across the Indian subcontinent That's awesome. Many things that are only found here. So allow me to interview Indian 14 Only found an Indian culture one cricket is life Cricket is a religion Right now To mustache men majority of Indian men have a mustache for generations They've been a symbol of manliness and power So it's no surprise that Indian men have like when they do this Yeah, team feet three Hindu traditions over 1.1 billion Indians classes. They're only in India Yeah, there's only Hindus in India Where long skirt called best use I love everything about it for eating with hand Again only an Indian only an Indian with their hands over utensils It's one of my favorite things about Indian culture because it allows you to connect with the food on your plate Does it five head wobbling? Yes speaking with an Indian in a conversation They will wobble their head in many directions. I've adopted that. No, maybe You can mean anything six bromance. It's To hold hands or hug each other in public Westerners might see this as being homosexual But it's certainly not viewed the same in India. Let's hold all six thumbs up. Sorry. Yeah Here it's all about thumbs up. Okay, my first time trying thumbs up. It is what I Honestly, it's my favorite soda. I love thumbs up a little stronger flavor. Perhaps they still better eat cows blocking road in India They do do that and worship they do but not nearly as frequently as Westerners think yeah with seven million They just think they're everywhere All over the roads and blocking track depends on where you are Jira after you finish any meal Yeah, usually give you these small seeds called Jira.  That is a hundred percent true And it's kind of amazing many marriages here are arranged. My name is Vincent I am marriage broker 48 years and the divorce rate is very low 11 90% For some reason I've noticed that the vast majority of people on the streets are men So I'm always wondering where all the women at 12 chalk drawings that was odd Every house it's not job Accepting the goddess lecture me which signifies frostbite. It's not job. So it is very disrespectful to step on that 13 Charcoal ironing here in India some of their irons. They run on charcoal Oh, wow, I did not know that that's cool 14 saying W. Yes Indians have a hard time saying the first yep So they usually turn these into W's kids are made to do but what I had to do that a hundred times when I was a kid It's like my name is treasury walla and for US people are saying been saying treasury walla So I cut off the walla and I'm like hey, I'm treasury So there you have it 14 wacky things about Indian culture If you see or hear any of the things mentioned above then you can be sure you're Like that guy You know what he looks like I don't know if you know this because you're a little older and it wasn't you for for you But he looks like Junie from spy kids just older. Who's married? Oh, you know what who looks yeah? He does look a little I know you're talking about exactly married to making trainer. Yeah, he's her baby daddy Yeah, you're right. He does. It's a That was a big part of my generation's culture now. I of the times I've been to India I would just never it is it's it's twice to Kolkata Yeah, and then the one time we took the trip where we hit Delhi Jaipur Amritsar in Mumbai And you'll go back once your wife's exactly once the United States immigration boy So much fun They're most the most well-run part of our government. Yeah The I I do not Remember and I'm pretty I'm aware of these kinds of things. I'm a people watcher. I'm aware of demographics I'm always aware of what's going on around me. I have situational awareness and threat assessment and all those kinds of things So I'm paying really close to I do not recall there being this disparage not this Disproportionate amount of men versus I guess it just probably depends on who you are in what times holy obviously is Unless it's a private event. Yeah women don't go out and celebrate holy in the streets Unless it's a private event with people they know, okay Yeah, I just didn't that didn't see nor does that seem to be a particular I mean if you want to talk about only seeing men on the streets go to go to, you know, but Saudi Arabia But granted we places we've been are all big modern cities, right? So this guy this guy looks like he's been to like if he was there for four months Maybe went to much more rural. Yeah parts of it. Maybe right maybe and then for his experience. Maybe yeah, yeah Obviously, I'm sure he's not making it up. We went to Mumbai. You went to Bengal. Yeah, Ali. Yeah Hamar Tsar, which and even and I got a lot of women there. They probably would be more men but not in a Insane like no right disproportionate amount except for like if the click holy obviously. Yeah, I don't I don't think women just go because obviously There's bad stuff that happens to yeah women. Yeah with when they're in close quarters with men. Yeah, I'll let you decide what that is definitely for sure Indian culture specific the bigness of the weddings is a 100% had not eating the hands not eating with all this was that I mean I would yeah, obviously Oh, you make anything up for sure. No, no, no, it's goodness. We talked about a good video If we were able to stay in India for a while. I'd love to do these types of videos I know that stuff obviously but And I could if my wife yeah, yeah, right be allowed in what I was referring to my beautiful wife while she's it's astonishing while she's in this process of Transitioning from her K-1 visa. We got married and she's transitioning that transitions into her travel certificate her work permit And then ultimately green card. Mm-hmm While she's in that process immigration says you can't leave America for any reason if you have a family emergency You have to prove it and even then we'll say no you can't get back in We didn't know that was gonna be the thing when she got here that she is basically Locked into the United States of America and is not allowed to go back to India until they Say it's okay and try communicating with immigration. I spoke to an immigration attorney who said yeah, even we can't communicate with them very easily It's unfortunately you're at their mercy to just let them communicate when they're gonna communicate so I can't even if I wanted to go even like for example if I was filming a movie in Canada for example Right across the border. She can't come with me. Mm-hmm yet. Yeah until immigration Gets off their booties. Yep. Yep. Anyways, let us know what you thought about the video and other videos that we can react to down below


I'm Rusty Komori, and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys Varsity Tennis Team for 22 years, and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My books Beyond the Lines and Beyond the Game are about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, and finding greatness, which is what this show is all about. My special guest today is an extraordinary woman who is the co-owner of the very popular Panya Bistro. She is Annie Jung, and today we are going Beyond Honolulu Restaurants. Hey Annie, welcome to the show. Hey Rusty, thank you. Thank you for bringing me in for your special 117th show. Oh, I'm so excited. We have so much to talk about, and I know that you and your sister are co-owners of Panya Bistro, but I want to first ask you about if you can tell me a bit about your background. So we are born and raised in Hong Kong, and when I was 15, I asked to go to a boarding school in England for about two years, and after that I came here to go to University College here in Hawaii. So you attended Hawaii Pacific College before it was Hawaii Pacific University, and then you went to University of Hawaii, is that true? Yeah, that's the steps. And Annie, when you were in boarding school in England, how was that experience for you? So when we have to fly to London from Hong Kong, you have to make transit. So 15 years old, it was like, I don't know, I think I was kind of brave, and it kind of helped me to develop the independence, alertness, and what's going on, things like that. And when you're traveling, you have your luggage, you cannot lose any bags, your belongings, and is anybody following you, the kind of stuff. So it's built up my independence and part of growing up. Yeah, and that adds to your toughness. I can see why you are how you are now. And tell me about your two kids, Max and Samara, how are they doing? I have a junior and a senior in high school. So Max is going to Punahou, and he will be graduating this year. And Samara is at Ilmani, and she's a junior. And they're helping out at your restaurants? Yes, actually during this summer, even Max came and worked with us in the restaurant. Samara's been helping us since last year. She was doing host, and the bakery cashier, but during this COVID time, she kind of promoted herself to be the server, the footrun everything. So I'm happy to see the growth of them just working in our business. When I go to Punahou, I love seeing them working there as well. I know that your dad has been such a great influence on you and your sister Alice. What did you learn from your dad, Annie? My dad, we are in a very traditional Chinese family, and dad is like a 300% businessman. So we talk more business than we don't say, oh, I love you. That's never been part of our conversation. So he always makes sure that we have a goal, we have a plan. Every week when we have lunch on Sunday, that's our tradition, he asks, so what's your plan? Every week. He taught us about business, how to be persistent, how to be a person in your business. I like hearing that.  How did he help you with that? He asks questions every day, so he'll call us every day and ask, how's business? We know there's somebody checking on us, so we cannot be slacking any day. This is like for the last 20 years. We lost him 2016, so it's a big loss for both me and my sister, but I think he taught us enough in the past years to help us to stay where we are and continue working as if he's around. Annie, you and your sister Alice, you guys make such a great team together, but do you guys ever fight? Yes, we of course, we have a little age group gap, age difference, so I would say, oh my god, it's like a different generation almost, but somehow with upbringing from my family, from my dad's influence, we would eventually think ultimately it's the same one of you, and however, she would take a little different approach because of our personality, and however, we managed to come to our agreement, it's like we need to learn how to give and take sometimes, so sometimes we'll take my approach, sometimes we'll adopt hers, and we'll see which one works better, and we can always change, or we can rethink or how we should take the approach, so we are flexible, because at the end, we are the two person, two bosses, right, so we can work it out eventually, yeah. Annie, your Panya Bakery first opened in 1997 at McCully Shopping Center, what was unique about that business for you? We were the first bakery to introduce self-service, so you come to the shop, first of all, you get the tongs and the tray, you can go through the all different showcase covered to pick your piece of baked goods, because sometimes, oh, this is too burnt, I like the lighter one, I like the darker one, or this one, the strawberry looks bigger, so it's very comfortable and clean for you to choose your own baked goods, rather than you have to take a ticket and wait for the lady to say, number 96, you know, to come and serve you, and then you walk up and down the showcase, so, yes, we were the first bakery to introduce self-service. I remember that, and since then, a lot of other businesses were copying you, and during that time, Annie, you guys also opened up a coffee shop near that Ward area where that hokua is now. Can you tell me about that?  We started wholesale to hotels, and a lot of other small businesses, so that's how we evolved from a first small bakery to be a sit-down service plus wholesale business. And then Annie, once that location closed, you moved to Alamoana, what was challenging for you going to the Alamoana location? Because of, you know, the cost of the rents over there, right, is so high, so we couldn't be doing any production over there, so we assigned the entire space to be just for retail, bakery, and restaurant, and whatever the kitchen size we need, and the production for our pastry, we have to find a central kitchen to back up. So at that point, we have to have two locations. One is for the retail, the dining service, and on the other side, we have the warehouse at Cook and Queen Street. We have like a 6,000 square feet warehouse that is closed enough for us to feed, you know, the Alamoana panya bistro like about six to eight times a day for different, you know, supplies. No, I remember that because I would go to your Alamoana location, that's where I first met you, and yeah, that was a challenging situation for you and your sister, but once your lease finished, then it all worked out to come full circle to move into Hukua because PF Changs had closed in that original location, so now panya bistro at Hukua, you came full circle, and you know, I know that you and your employees, I mean, your employees are like your second family, so tell me how special being back at Hukua now and with your employees is to you? For the location, we know that this is like an amazing story because a lot of our customers from day one, they know, oh my god, you come back here, it's like a, you know, you're coming back home, like, we know where you were before, right? And they say, yeah, it was exactly like 100 feet away, so we love this location because it's, we have the both indoor outdoor seating and the parking right there, parking is like prime for our operation, so we love it back here, and it's much bigger, so it's double the size what we can sit in Alamoana, so this is our next stage of our business, and we have focus to be put on the dining surface, and thank goodness, it's all happening right because we have a strong crew, both at the back of the house and the front of the house, and you can see a lot of them was with us like over 10 years, one of our managers was with us since like day one of the Panya bakery, and we have a, you know, we have a small, it was a small operation, but I believe we bonded really well, we worked with each other, and we're making this working every day. Annie, you know during this coronavirus time period, I mean, a lot of restaurants have been closing, what are you doing to survive? As I said, thank goodness, we have outdoor seating and indoor seating, and our whole business model has changed, because we lost like 80% of all our business that come from wholesale, wholesale in terms of like hotels, a lot of the Japanese wedding cakes, and it put us in a totally different mode that we only can rely on the restaurant operation with dining and takeout, and the dining capacity was cut to less than half, it's like only 30 to 40% if we can sit every single chair, but you know, there's not, I mean, because of the table arrangement with the social distancing, so it limits our capacity to the lower level, so thank goodness, as what every customer, when they come to say, oh, thank goodness, you have outdoor seating, and then I say yes, and that's what everybody prefer nowadays to be sitting outside, and they're happy with our social distancing format on the seating, so they feel very safe, and internally, all the staff have to take like very serious, you know, practice on a daily basis, that they have to keep cleaning all the touching area, like the doors, all the tables and chairs was cleaned with sanitizer after each customer, and we have to check in all the customers with the temperature before they come into the premises, and then they also have to use sanitizer before they come in, so we put out the guard to the highest level to, in order to protect all the customers coming into our restaurant to dine in, or even take out, you know, so this is our number one priority right now. Well, I have a lot of lunch meetings and dinner meetings at Panya that you know I have, and I want to talk to you about my books, you know, obviously you know it's about creating a culture of excellence and leadership, I want to ask you, what kind of leader are you? I am an emotional one, emotional. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but you know, I, you run your business with your personality too, right, so, and I, when I talk to my employees sometimes I talk, and they say, okay, stop yelling at us, I'm not yelling, I was just talking with a very firm voice, you know, so it takes a lot to be a good leader, you know, in the organization, so, but it's a daily thing, we work on it every day, every shift, we need to work to what we need at that, on that day, it's a daily changing, you know, so very challenging. Yeah, because basically, you know, you're a coach, you're trying to coach and guide them to accomplish the goals that you guys have for your restaurant, right? Yes, very true, but sometimes, you know, we have, we have a pretty good stable team over here that they are, basically, they know what needs sometimes, most of the times, so also they would give the input, oh, can we just do this, should we just do this, and then, you know, we kind of like work together, but of course, we, I want to maintain my service level at a good standard, so all my customer, you know, all the customers coming in, I told them they have expectations, so we need to do a, offer a good service level, so all the customers will be, enjoy the good food and have good service, so ultimately, that's our goal every day. Well, Annie, it's a constant striving for excellence, obviously, and I got to say, you know, I need the laxah, your laxah and the desserts that you have, I mean, it's not a one, it's a need, and you have such a wide variety of a menu, why do you guys have such a wide, wide range of menu? The menu was built not within months, it was years, we built, every time we, you know, we serve the same menu, and we feel like, oh, we should add something new, and me and my sister, especially Alice, is like, oh, what should we, what should we offer, but I would tell you, a lot of times we offer the food that we want to eat, so we cook for ourselves, and then we say, oh, actually, we can serve this, and then we practice, we kind of like, refined it to the way that we let customer taste sometimes, you know, the regular say, oh, it's good, oh, it needs something, you know, that kind of input, so we perfecting it, and oh, we can put on the menu now, you know, so it's day by day building a big menu like ours, but the thing is like, we use the same ingredient, but we use a different, we cook in a different way, or cut in a different way, and that's how we offer a big menu that the idea is, if you come in with a group of, you know, friends or family, everybody can enjoy their preference, you can have ramen and burger at the same time, and nowadays we introduce more healthy food, like vegetables, you know, stir-fry, not necessarily like deep-fried or, you know, fancy cooking, but like steamed fish is something very simple, healthy, that you feel good after eating it, and you can eat it very frequently, like you can eat it almost every day. And your favorite dish, laxa, the laxa noodle, I say, okay, it's a salvezation noodle, and it's very popular in our restaurant, so all my friends or cousins, I was trying to try other dishes, but you know, I have to have the laxa, otherwise I say, yeah, otherwise you don't feel like you've been to Panya, right, so, and a lot of them come here just for the laxa, you know. Well, it's a tough decision. Yes, so you have, that's why I tell them you have to come back more often, so you feel okay to let go the laxa and try other dishes, you know.  Other than moving, you know, relocating, that kind of thing, I think it would be down to trusting people or the, how, you know, when you have workers or team management, you need to be able to trust them, or that was a big challenge from my experience running this operation, because, you know, like, recipe and things like that, it did become like a, is it assets or the property of the business, and if the person is not truthful or, you know, loyal to your business, it become a big challenge for us. But at that point, yes, but now we learned we have to have confidence with our own operations. And we spend, this is 23 years, the 23rd years. So after these years, we build a brand, so we would like to think that we would like to achieve that thinking like the product from Panya will give you the assurance of quality and the consistency that you would have the same dish or the same dessert taste every time the same when you, you know, enjoy Panya's product. So that's something I think we're trying to achieve. And what do you think? No, you're definitely doing it. And Annie, what I find impressive is how you guys started as a small bakery, and then how you grew it, you know, to moving to different locations, you know, and great leaders, they always find a way to adapt and adjust, and they navigate their way to success.  And, you know, for you to take risks along the way, calculated risks, how important was it for you looking back to take those risks? We, I would say we need, we've been changing business, business model all this way by expanding. So the risks is we need to everybody like work as a team. And they have to perform, make the performance every day. So as I said, the consistency of the dish, of each food item, the come out, the quality is, is our key when we have a restaurant.  So I think people is the key in our operations. Yeah, no, it definitely is. And I can see how your, you know, services is an important part, obviously, you're talking about the food being an important part as well. What's, what's, what's the best advice you ever received in your life, Annie? That's advice. I think is, for me and my sister, I think we have our devotion and love of running this business. We focus, you know, we don't think of like, oh, let's do something other, other kind of business. No, we just focus. If it's not Panya, everything has to be inside Panya. And I think it makes a, makes a big change in other people. I mean, I'm sorry, not change, but it plays a different priority in your life because, because of our father. I think it is something that both of me and my sister want to prove to him for whatever support he gave us. It wasn't a waste. And, and he, we want to make him proud of us for whatever, for the achievement we have. And by the time when he come visit us, he can see that we are, we are doing our job. We are, we are not just, you know, watching, but actually, so often we have to work hands-on in the front of the house, cleaning table or everything, or in the back of the house help cooking. And, you know, we are flexible to fill in the gaps of the entire operation anytime. You know, sometimes there's no bartender. I can go bartending, right? So, and there's not enough cook in the back, or we have people vacation, my sister go cook in the back, you know. So this will, this is something, you know, we, we would train, we train ourselves to be able to function, multifunction, same as my managers. So they, they do, they, they don't just cook or bake, but they have to do, you know, office work too. So we, we are, we are multitasking here, you know. Annie, I guarantee you your dad is very proud of you and your sister, and I want to thank you for taking time in your schedule to join me on the TV show today. Thank you, Rusty, for having me here. And we have to thank all my customers, the community here, actually, to support Panya all these years. Being in this community for like 23 years, I think it meant, it meant a lot for me and my sister. We truly thank you for all the support, you know, from our loyal customer. I have customers like since day one, we're still shopping here with us, eating with us, you know. So we appreciate this, this community. Supporting Panya for all the entire crew is very meaningful. Yes, and we need, we need Panya to survive this pandemic. And, Annie, I want to thank you and I'm going to see you soon, okay? Thank you, Rusty. I will see you, the, the laksa will be waiting for you. Thanks, Annie. And thank you for watching Beyond the Lines on ThinkTakhoi. For more information, please visit RustyKomori.com and my books are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I hope that Annie and I will inspire you to create your own superior culture of excellence and to find your greatness and help others find theirs. Aloha.


I'm the Comic Weekly Man. The Jolly Comic Weekly Man. And I'm here to read the funnies to your happy boys and honeys. Yes, boys and girls, it's Comic Weekly Time.  Right out of the pages of Puck the Comic Weekly straight into your living room, your friend, the Comic Weekly Man. The Jolly Comic Weekly Man. Hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello. Little Miss Honey, how are you today? Well, you should know. You bet I do. You're happy as a jingle bell. I certainly am. So it is. So let's wish everybody a merry, merry Christmas. Yes, let's. A merry, merry Christmas, everyone. And I hope everyone gets exactly the presents they wish to get. Because if they do, it means that everyone in the world is thoughtful and the world needs thoughtfulness to make happiness. That's so true. Yes. And now the funnies, please. Puck the Comic Weekly. Very well. I'll read that in just a moment. But first, let's listen to this nice man. And now here we go with Puck the Comic Weekly. Oh, please read me Flash Gordon because it's so interesting. Flash and Dale are on a strange planet. A planet where no one is permitted to use metal in any form. No rockets, no guns, things. That's right, because the wizard Curzoo, a rather mean man, has outlawed metal. And the wizard and another mean man named Goro don't like Flash and Dale. But the queen Sunni is very nice to them. Yes, so let's see today whether Flash has any more trouble with the wizard or with Goro. So here we go on the second page of Puck the Comic Weekly with Flash Gordon. Magic wits for the music, please. Very well, my lady. Rega rega dune dune, Saskia matash. Let's have music for heroic Flash. Flash and Dale and Queen Sunni come out of the wizard's cave to return to Sunni's palace. Goro, the queen's general, who doesn't like Flash, looks quite surprised to see Flash and Dale still alive. Queen Sunni remarks that he didn't expect them to survive their ordeals, huh?  They all head for the palace. Flash asks Queen Sunni, well, if the ray dissolves all metal, how can we live without calcium for our bones? Queen Sunni tells him that many people died before the wizards had reduced the ray and made it very weak. Now it doesn't hurt them or cause landslides because it only works beneath the surface of the earth and mining is forbidden. She tells Flash that the wizards hate progress and civilization. That curzo said he would end poverty and war by destroying metal from which cannon and bullets are made, but still her people have to work all day and night just to eat. They still fight with arrows and sharp sticks, while savage beasts roam the land.  First picture, bottom row. As they come near it, it roars. Goro shouts, On guard, Your Majesty, a flamed dragon! Bravely, he turns his panic amount toward the monster. But Goro's lance is no match for the dragon, and Flash leaps from his terrified mount shouting, Wait for your lives! When the fear prays, Steeds break loose, throwing Sunni and Dale. Flash, without any weapons, dashes at the monster who has now thrown Goro and is spinning him to the ground with his powerful claws and he bears his bangs at Flash. Testo, he could shoot that dragon and save everyone. Well, next week we'll find out if Flash figures out some way to defeat the dragon. Oh, I hope he will. Yes, well now? Oh, now, please, across the page of Dick's adventures. Dick is in the early days of America. And he's dreaming that he's in Philadelphia on the 4th of July. Yes, and that he met Benjamin Franklin, who was a wonderful man in the early days of America. He flew a kite and invented electricity. Yes, and many other things. So now, let's read and see what happens today in Dick's adventures. Say the magic words with me. Let's leave that back to Dick. Let's have music for adventurous Dick. Dick is dreaming his wonderful dream. It's July 4th, 1776, Independence Day, and in Philadelphia. Dick wonders, but why is nobody celebrating? Then from the doorway of a small print shop, Dick hears his name called. He recognizes Benjamin Franklin. Dick goes to Franklin's shop. Mr. Franklin says, I see you are attached to General Washington's militia courtroom. Please deliver this to the general. It has just been approved. Glenn said it. Dick takes the document, which is a piece of paper, unrolls it, looks at it last picture top row, and starts to read. One in the course of human events. Oh, gosh. It's a declaration of independence.  Here is the first glorious fort. High over the shouting, a great bell is thundering the momentous news of American freedom. Dick cries, the Liberty Bell. And he continues on his way to carry the declaration of independence. George Washington's in New York, readying his men for a defense of the city. The ride from Philadelphia is long, and late that night, Dick stops at an inn. He finds last picture of the row that the inn is a nest for Tories, men bitterly opposed to American independence. The waitress warns that he'd be careful, because the Tories would slit his throat if they think that he's carrying military information. Dick replies cheerfully, I am, but they can read it. And then first picture, bottom row, Dick goes to the fireplace, holds up the paper and says to the Tories, The information in this paper is going to make our soldiers fight like wildcats. And then he reads it to them in a voice ringing with defiance. One in the course of human... Next morning, last picture, Dick's on his way an hour before dawn, continuing his journey to Washington's headquarters in New York. As he thinks about the night before when he read the declaration of independence to the Tories, who were people in America, on England's side, and how much they didn't like it, Dick laughs and says to himself, Ha, he didn't appreciate it much. That's right, that was one of the most famous documents of the history of the world, the first time a group of men stated that everybody in the world should have a free government, a government that will be a good government to everybody. Yes. Oh, look, honey, this is really becoming something interesting too because Rusty, who was trying out a boat, got marined out in the harbor. And then he saw the smuggler with a black light. Yes, and then the Coast Guard cruiser came along and searched the smugglers, but they didn't find anything. And then they saw Rusty and Patty and they rescued them and brought them home again, but now it is a black light. Well, Tex gave Rusty a magazine that had an article about a black light in it, so let's see what we can find out right now. Here we go with Rusty Riley. Gallop and run till the road is dusty. Give us music for his horse and Rusty. Patty, Rusty's friend, daughter of Mr. Miles, sees that Rusty's reading a magazine, and she asks, What are you reading, Steve? Oh, it's an article Tex gave me to read. It's all about black light. Sure, don't you remember? Well, this article tells all about it. Must be a queer story of a thing, because it says here and it's invisible unless it shines in a certain kind of chemical. And then it makes that chemical glow real bright. Cheaper. That's all. Then Rusty puts on his jacket, last picture top row saying, Let's go down to the boat house and ask Mr. Tony, our teacher. He knows about all kinds of things. All right, Rusty, let's go. First picture next row. Down by the waterfront, they go into the boat house where Tony had been painting lobster font markers, which are huge courts floating above the water, marking the spots where the lobster pots are at the bottom of the ocean. And Patty says, Going. Mr. Tony isn't hitting some of those lobster pot markers. Well, he's painting his brushes are all here. Hey, let's paint a name on our skip while we're here, huh? So Rusty picks up a can of the paint and a brush and they walk out to the boat and Rusty paints the name Polly on his boat. Rusty says, He says Mr. Tint in his can. Well, anyway, it's a nice bright red. There, how's that look, huh? Fine, for supper. We can come down and put the name on the other side tonight. After supper that night, Rusty goes down to the boat to paint the name on the other side. He calls to Patty who's still in the boat house. Hey, golly, it's pretty dark for painting outside here, Patty. We need a light. And Patty calls back. Patty comes out carrying the thing that looks like a spotlight. She clicks the switch and says, last picture. It must be switched on, but it doesn't light. Suddenly Rusty sees the name Polly, he painted on the boat earlier in the afternoon. He's shining as though it were put on in electric lights. And he exclaims, Burn out nothing. Look at the name we painted on the skip. It's black light. No, it's invisible unless it shines on a certain kind of chemical like Rusty read in the magazine. And then it makes it real bright. Yes, and the paint that Rusty put on the boat had the chemical in it. And that's why the name is bright. Yes. You will right away if you'll turn over the page. And there he is in the middle of page five. So here we go with Donald Duck. Say the magic words for the music with me. Squeeze them, squeeze them, squiddly, chicka-chack. Let's have music to fit a quack-quack. Donald looks out the window and he sees something that makes him angry. And he yells to his nephews. Why? And in a second his three nephews are in the room. And Donald points out the window to the walk which is covered with snow when he barks. I thought you boys promised to keep the walk several this winter. And his nephews say cheerfully. Sure. Sure, Uncle Donald. We'll get started tomorrow. And Donald says angrily. Tomorrow. That's what you said yesterday. And his nephews go back to play. Donald begins to think. He thinks and thinks. And then he has a bright idea. And last picture top row he's made a phone call and is just finishing his conversation saying And sing them out right away immediately. First picture bottom row some delivery men are bringing three trucks or three boxes rather in a truck to Donald's house. And one of them says to Donald, Well, here they are, Mr. Duck. Donald replies, Ah, bring them right in. And the men bring the boxes into the kitchen floor. These Donald starts to open the boxes. And his three nephews come running into the kitchen and Donald says, Not why. I need a little surprise. And two seconds later the front door pops open. And out the door dash Huey, Dewey and Louis all carrying shovels. And they shovel the snow off the sidewalk as fast as they can. Last picture his nephews are riding their bicycles on the sidewalk which is now shovel clean while Donald sits in the house reading a book with a sly smile on his face. The snow off so they can ride the bicycles. I would do that too. Well, I should think you'd shovel the sidewalk so your mother wouldn't get her over shoes filled. Yes, I suppose, but they should try. Yes, they should try. Especially at Christmas because sometimes you get bigger presents. Oh, you. It's true. Well, what should we read now? I certainly will if you'll turn over the page. Oh, good. And I'll read that in just a moment. But first here's that nice man again with something interesting to say. Now here we go again with Puck the Comic Weekly. And on the bottom of the sixth page of the first section of Puck the Comic Weekly is Uncle Remus and his tales of Brer Rabbit. Magic wits for the music, please. And say them with me. Hippity hop if you make it a habit to give us music for old Brer Rabbit.  Yes, and this is one of the days when Brer Rabbit needs to get super in the head for as long as completely overrun with tall, tall grass and it needs a cutting. Just then Brer Bear and Brer Buzzard come by and Brer Buzzard stops and says, I see you is finally getting round to cutting your grass.  I's looking for something. I's got a hole in my pocket and I done lost $11, $11 gold piece. Last picture top row, Brer Bear asks, Is you given any reward for the finding? And Brer Rabbit cheerfully says, Yeah, I split half with the man what finds it. And by the time you can go, Brer Bear and Brer Buzzard have dashed home for their sights and are cutting Brer Rabbit's grass. First picture bottom row. Finally the grass is all cut. But no one has found the $11, $11 gold piece. And Brer Bear looking very disappointed says, Does you sure you lost it in this dirt field? And Brer Buzzard moans, I see it's almost scant the plane's clean.  Wait a minute. Well, what do you know about that? I found it in my hip pocket. And when the others see it, they all go, And Brer Bear exclaims, There are lots of work for nothing. And Brer Buzzard growls, I is disbusted.  Brer Bear says, There's something ain't right about this. And Brer Buzzard exclaims, In his pocket all the time. And Brer Rabbit flips the coin, Happily saying, Well, that's one way of getting the grass cut.  Yes, he certainly did. Well, now should we have some root and tootin excitement? Oh yes, if it's Roy Rodgers. It certainly is. Oh, I'm anxious to read that. Because Roy passed by an old Indian fort And he saw an old man wearing a Coonskin cap Shooting at a boy. And Roy whipped on his larry and pulled the old man up His horse and saved the boy from being shot. Yes, but just then the boy jumped into the river. And as Roy ran to help the boy, The old man got loose, grabbed up a gun. Oh, hurry up and read, will you? Very well then. Go to the last page of the first section Of the comic weekly, And here we go with Roy Rodgers, King of the Cowboys. Hi-yup, hi-o. Now here we go with Roy and Trigger. Hi-yup, hi-o. As Roy prepares to dive into Rapid River To save the boy from the treacherous water, The evil old man pulls up his gun, Ames at Roy and growls, I'll learn that cowpoke to mind his own business. Pulls the trigger. Last picture, top row. Just as Roy dives into the river, First picture, next row. He misses Roy, Who comes up beside the boy. Roy sees the log being carried straight at him By the swift current, Then he calls, Watch out, that log! The boy exclaims, Hey, you trying to drown me? Last picture, the row, Roy grabs the boy and says, Here, I've got you, sonny. We'll make it okay. First picture, bottom row, They grab the log as it comes by them, And they hang onto it. Roy says, And that jasper above is still shooting at us. Stay behind the log until we get ashore. The boy replies, He chased me out of old Fort Havoc, But he won't get away with it. Up on the top of the ledge, Overhanging the river, The old timer takes another shot at Roy. He growls, I don't know how much the kid found out at the Fort, But I ain't taking no chances on him, Or that nosy cow poked neither. He shoots again. And just at this moment, A man gallops up on a horse. He jumps off And grabs the old timer. Last picture, exclaiming, Drop that gun, you trigger happy maverick! He certainly did. I wonder who he is. Next week, we'll find that out. But now... Naturally, the page of the second session To puck the comic weekly. So naturally, Here we go with Dagwood and Blondie. Ram-a-foo, Ram-a-fum, Zim-zam-zombie, Conjuring music for Dagwood and Blondie. As Dagwood gets home that evening, He tells Blondie, I missed my bus. I was late for work again this morning. Blondie tells him he's apt to lose his job. And that gives Dagwood something to think about During dinner. That evening, Dagwood, Who's been sitting in a chair While Blondie's been reading the paper, Suddenly jumps out. Next, slams, I've just worked out a new shortcut to the bus That'll save me two minutes in the morning.  He says to Daisy, his dog, who's with him, I'm sure the neighbors will help me with this. They're all such nice people, And I've known them for so long. First picture next row, Dagwood is pointing to the neighbor's fence. And he says to his neighbor, Mr. Squirp, If you would remove these boards from your fence, I could cut through your yard. And the neighbor replies cheerfully, I'll do that for you, Dagwood. And that's the first step in Dagwood's plan. And Dagwood goes to another neighbor. And he's pointing to the hedge That's at the edge of their lawn.  Last picture, The row some other neighbors are carrying rocks From one end of their lawn to the other end. The missus is saying, We're moving our rock garden So it won't be in Dagwood's way. And another neighbor calls back As she winds up her clothesline. Yes, and I'm taking down my clothesline So he won't strangle himself When he comes through here. Next morning, Blondie calls Dagwood, Telling him it's time to get up. Dagwood pops out of bed saying, I can't wait till I see How my new shortcut's going to work. And after breakfast, He tears out of the house. Dashes through the hole in the neighbor's fence saying, Oh boy, this is wonderful. The neighbors are all cooperating.  Such nice people. First picture, Bottom row he dashes through The other neighbor's lawn Where the rock garden's been removed saying, I feel as fleas and antelope in the prairies. Nothing to obstruct me. Then now he goes Under the sidewalk at the corner and says, Here I am at the bus stop With 30 seconds of spare I'll never be late for work again. And he stops. Last picture, In front of a sign Which is put up at the bus stop. The sign reads, Notice, Starting today, This bus line has been re-routed To Swithin Street, Two blocks north. And Dagwood feels just like this. Of course, Dagwood. And he had to meet his neighbors And all of you good plans. He's going to be late for work today Because the bus doesn't stop At that corner today. Yes, poor Dagwood Has the kind of luck so many of us have. When he tries to make something work out One way, just the opposite happened. I'm afraid so. Eh, so. Well, now it's time for Prince Valiant. Oh, that's easy to find, too. It's on the last page of the second section. So here we go over to the last page. And this is right here. Because Prince Valiant and his friends Had stayed overnight at a castle. And the next morning, when they were going to leave, The castle was attacked and they couldn't get out. And for days, the attackers had tried To break into the castle to capture it. But so far, they've been unsuccessful. And then the king of the castle said That they would have to have a messenger To go for more help. I'm just wondering whether Prince Valiant Is going to try to do this dangerous thing. And it is dangerous because the messenger Will have to try to slip through The enemy's camp. So let's read now and find out Who is going to be the messenger. Here we go with Prince Valiant. Eckert Breckert, Graeme Alcann, And Quintz, Music Romatic for a fair, fair prince. Music Romatic, for a fair, fair prince. Music Romatic, for a fair, fair prince. From high on the keep, Prince Valiant Searches for a way by which the messenger Can escape. But they're completely surrounded. And when the fighting wanes at sunset, completely surrounding the castle moat as Val looks out at the moat which is a sort of a river of water around the castle he thinks that a swimmer might cross it but even here the sentry stand almost shoulder to shoulder and then Val grins then laughs aloud and he calls for some very unwarlike materials last picture top row Val ties a long rope to a grapple which is a stick with four curved hooks tied to its tip then men bring empty wine jugs and begin to tie them to long bars then a pulley and a rope are tied to the end of the grapple and first picture next row the grapple with pulley and line attached is shot across the moat amid a shallow of arrows as the arrows fired by Val's companion spin toward the enemy across the moat the enemy sentries cower behind their shields they don't see the grapple with a rope and pulley attached as it lands on the shore and digs into the ground the rope attached falls in the water and sinks underneath unseen that night a watergate which opens on to the moat from the castle where Val and his friends are is open and men carrying the 50 empty wine jugs slip out into the water tie the wine jugs to the rope attached to the grapple which is stuck in the earth across the moat on the enemy side then slowly the bobbing jugs are pulled by means of the pulley across the dark water toward the enemy sentries a few minutes later the moon breaks through the clouds an enemy sentry seeing the wine jugs bobbing in the water thinks it's ahead of soldiers wearing helmets and he yells swimmers approaching help and attack the enemy sentries all rush to the danger spot and at that moment a messenger who's been swimming quietly in the water at a place far from the wine jugs finds ample room to slip out of the water and speed on his way unnoticed everyone laughs at Val's trick but in the morning there's no joy for they see last picture at the most feared device in warfare is growing steadily beneath the walls that's something we'll find out next week we're coming in one place so that the enemy all gathered there and that was a brilliant idea and so bright he certainly is now that's all the time I have but before I go here's that nice fellow with some more interesting information honey and all your boys and girls I've got to go now okay that's a date and the date with all your boys and girls be sure to meet me with our little friend miss honey next week when I read Puck the comic weekly or I'm the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man I'll be back to read the funnies to you happy boys and honey don't forget boys and girls see you all next week your friend the comic weekly man the jolly comic weekly man


So guys I am back with another Star Wars Jedi survivor video and today guys I've renewed yet another amazing xp farm. Do you want to earn those skill points super super quick? Well today guys I have you covered and this is real early as well so anyone can do this. How's it going guys my name is dpj and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so where am I right here guys is I'm on cold water does that say the planet I'm not even sure but I'm at least the meditation point here the ramblers reach outposts you can see that right here guys I think it's like the third one you activate here I can actually show you that now because when you go to your meditation point you go to that fast travel it will tell you what a fast travel you can see. Okay so I've got the George crash site I believe that's where it starts then we have the derelict dam and then we have southern reach okay it's the fourth one the fourth one I've got anyway so yeah you can see where I'm at on the map guys it really is that simple okay so from here guys you want to head this way you want to head that way you can see my line we've gone back and forth that's where you want to get to there's a dog up there what is about good eight enemies there that you can easily take out you can even take out this 300 away if you want to well I mean if it's slowing you down don't do it you'll see these guys are actually they're right there don't worry about them but yeah you can take them free out if you want to normally do a roll across in front of you so it's easier but hey when you come across here guys you'll see there's a little battle taking place see there's four little ads there and there's a few ads behind them so you can just take these out do what you gotta do and if you get here quick enough you can take them all out and I will say this as well guys the story the difficulty of the story the way you're playing on doesn't make no bit of difference whatsoever so you can put this on easy mode you can put it on hard mode it makes no difference whatsoever guys and you'll see the xp I got is actually quite chunky if you was watching the xp bar I wasn't I'll do it again so we're going to run back we're going to run back and come back here but hey I've been doing it for about five ten minutes and I leveled up my skill watch three times that's how crazy it is I have been taking out these guys as well but I'll show you what I mean when you go to the meditation point and come back they do roll in front of you so it is a lot easier to take out okay so it's going to go back here guys as you know there's probably loads of these kind of things in the game as well probably better ones as you call one but hey for early players this is perfect so to reset the enemies obviously come to your meditation point and just rest and it resets all ads resets all enemies which is great so if you just run back guys I ain't got my blaster yet either if I haven't blasted this would be even better because shooting from afar you don't mind but you see what I mean these guys rolling in front of you one stops you can take them out if you want to you get even more exp just watching when I go to that spiky mode though there you go there's a little bit of chunk there I see my bars about halfway now just above halfway you can see it so we're getting here you'll see the madness you'll see the madness I would recommend you taking out these funny looking creatures first if you can because obviously they would die the other guys will kill him and I'm getting blasted here but don't matter come on that guy was chopping me from behind he should by far the most exp so once you kill him you'll see you'll see the exp see that there that's quite a chunk of exp guys so from just above halfway you can see where I'm at one more run and I'm probably going to get this to another skill point that's what I mean it's super super quick to earn those skill points it really is like I said there's probably better ones in the game as you progress on and the first one I covered which was actually quite good I'm not sure it's as quick as this one though I won't lie to you it's quick but I'm not sure it's as quick as this again I'll link that in the video description if you do want to check that out but this is definitely an amazing one we'll do it one more time guys I don't want to drug him down too long you know you know what I mean people you know what I mean people again up here up the vine and then we go on this way right here again you can take out these dudes if you want to that's completely up to him it's going to take him out that's all you got to watch out for the spikes get out of it get out of it and just run straight across here there's a couple more as you ran that corner but they're not worth your time it's like way more efficient doing it this way wow he just turned on me nah mate you damn I mean look how close it is it's basically filled up my bar it's basically filled up my bar so you can see what I mean from two runs guys from just above half you can see how madness it is it's crazy so yes another great xp farm for star wars Jedi's survival use it if this is the kind of thing you like if not skip it it's all up to you but guys I hope you did enjoy the video if you did leave me a like if you like what you see I want to see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


Hello, I thought I was going to record some YouTube videos today, but I can't find my microphone The one that I usually use. I have no idea where it is, and I've been looking all over the place, so Here we are. I hope this works. This is my work microphone Because audio is important. Now, I am coming in here today to tell you that I have found a game that I Want to recommend to everyone. It's an older game. Soda older. It is not completely new and I think it is from my own experience the closest game to Zelda Breath of the Wild that I have found that are not in the Zelda, you know series There is a small catch though, and that is this game is not on the Nintendo Switch I know I have a switch channel, but this is Esha gaming and I figured I got to talk about the games that I am currently obsessed with and I am currently obsessed with this game because of the freedom and how much it surprised me Now I am talking about Assassin's Creed Origins It is my second Assassin's Creed game that I have played. The first game that I have played in that series was actually the Rebel Collection for the Switch Do you want a review of that? Let me know. So, you know, so I started with Black Flag and that is a really good game I highly recommend it. It takes a few hours to get really into it because it was my first Assassin's Creed And I was all new to the series. So I didn't really know what the series was all about But I learned sort of quickly, sort of quickly in a few hours time, play time I got the hang of it and I understood what the series was More or less about. Now Assassin's Creed Origins, that is a random purchase I did on PSN because there was a spring sale I think it was 70% off, 80% off, super much off And I just went with it and there's something about Assassin's Creed Origins That is it feels like something I have never experienced before Now that is really hard to come by when you have been a gamer for all your life To find something that sparks Something new and fresh to you, if that makes sense And I think I found that in Assassin's Creed Origins In my circle of the ones that I watch on YouTube, gaming channels I have actually not come across any of my circle Talk about Assassin's Creed Origins Or Odyssey for that matter Maybe because I am in the wrong circles I think I can actually make a review of this game You guys want to see that even though it is a PS4 title And from experience, PS4 videos on my channel don't do well But in the end I don't care about that I care about making the videos that makes me happy to make Well, first of all the world is so big and it's very I want to say it's just as big as Breath of the Wild And just as many things to do and side quests as Breath of the Wild also has And of course there are main storylines There's also a tiny bit of RPG elements That was actually introduced to the Assassin's Creed series with Origins Because Assassin's Creed has been very sneaky and assassinate But when Origins came around it was like an Assassin's Creed game with RPG elements And some other people are arguing that Assassin's Creed Odyssey Which is the latest release Is actually an RPG game with Assassin's Creed elements That is why some people don't like Odyssey Because they are veterans from the series Coming from the older titles Assassin's Creed 1, 2, Brotherhood Revelations That sort of people But I also want to recommend Odyssey If you are new to the series you'll love it Because it's just an RPG game Really good, you know, Greek RPG game Now with Origins what drew me to this game was actually the Egyptian settings I've always been super interested in Egyptian mythology Culture, how they lived, you know, the pyramids And you can actually find the pyramids, climb them, enter them, explore them In this vast world Which is an open world, it is insane The attention to detail and even in the animations in NPCs Randomly on the streets are amazing So I also want to ask you guys What do you think about the Assassin's Creed series? Because I am new to the series And I've just gotten my eyes open for this series I never thought I would I never thought I would play Assassin's Creed Because that is a series that I've only heard about Never gotten around to try Because it wasn't appealing to me But with this Egyptian setting And the open worldness and the freedom to the player Which I love I've really gotten around to try the Assassin's Creed series And it has, like I said, opened my eyes So I went a little wild on the sales Because there was a sale on the PlayStation store With an entire series So I actually bought the Ezio collection Which includes Assassin's Creed 2 Brotherhood and Revelations Which is a series And I bought Assassin's Creed 3 Assassin's Creed Syndicate Unity Because that was also a package Another package deal that was heavily on sale Yeah, heavily price reduced Unity, Syndicate 3 Black Flag, yeah That was also included Even though I have that on my Switch I want to, you know, it was in the package So, you know, there you go And I have Rogue on the Switch And I have Assassin's Creed 1 now On Steam PC Because that was also on sale So actually, in a matter of a few weeks I have purchased the entire Assassin's Creed series so far So my plans are to play Origins, you know, thoroughly I'm trying to get the Platinum trophy in that That is kind of hard But it is interesting I am sort of really committed into Origins right now And I'm having such a nice time in this environment It is almost shockingly beautiful Let me just tell you The graphics are out of this world Even though this is a 2017 game I think I came over somewhere on the internet That Assassin's Creed Odyssey might get ported over to the Switch Hopefully Origins will too Because it seems like the Assassin's Creed series Are slowly coming over to the Nintendo Switch Because now we have Assassin's Creed 3 And the Rebel Collection on the Switch Which is Black Flag and Rogue Really good games I like them, I like them a lot I currently play both of them actually on my Switch I mean, like, this series has taken me by surprise But I gotta say the earlier titles Like Assassin's Creed 2 Which I started the other day Is very much more restricted and linear From what I felt when I played the beginning And a bit into the game So it's very different So I can see why Origins and Odyssey Which had more of an open world to them And more RPG elements They are different from the series And that is where the critique comes from No one is saying that they are bad games People are just simply saying in forums That those games just sort of don't belong Into the old core series But I like it, I love it And the new Assassin's Creed is announced Oh my god Viking themed And it's going to be called Valhalla I actually thought it was going to be called Ragnarok I don't know why I thought that But it is announced, it is Valhalla And it's coming 2020 You know, this coming holiday That is going to be something that I'm going to buy At day one Because I'm a new fan to the Assassin's Creed series And I never thought that would happen Really been taken by surprise By Assassin's Creed Origins especially Odyssey is also good I'm going to play Odyssey after Origins That was what I had to say about that So I won't say, I hope you like this video If you didn't like it You can feel free to dislike it I, you know As a small side update When I said the thing about my two switches I found the solution to that And that is simply restart Re-launch the game in question On the second switch And then it will update your playtime So it doesn't say played for a little while It will actually revert back to the original playtime So I got my playtimes back I found the solution Another thing is that I have a secondary YouTube channel And that is where I will be uploading Videos that are 100% not gaming related There's already like a music blog up there And there was another video too But I put that too unlisted So that is Patreon something Okay, so that was all for today folks Thank you so much for listening to me And I hope we can talk in the comment section Thank you so much for watching And I will see you later


Welcome back to F&A and today I'm going to talk about what you should animate because as you start being an animator you don't know what to do. Like where should I start? Bouncing balls, body mechanics, like what's a good list of exercises and that's what the clip is about today. Kind of a bummer with that framing. I wanted to go back so I could show you the awesome Hilda. I should watch Hilda. That's great. Anyway, so today I want to give you a list of exercises that you can go through so that you can build on top of first easy quote unquote exercise and make it more and more complex and combine certain areas and will hopefully serve as a guide as you start in your animation career because you might be not at a school, you might not be able to take workshops and you get to work on your own but you just need a guide because when you just can do anything you don't know where to start it's almost like you have too many choices. But before I continue, hi my name is JD. If you're new to this channel I do animation lectures like these, I do animation analysis clips, acting analysis clips, I do review reviews, proc reviews, I do a bunch of stuff on the channel. This is the pitch at the beginning, like and subscribe, you know how this goes. It's YouTube but if you do like it it helps my channel grow if you subscribe and if not maybe you'll do it later I don't know but that is the pitch let's get to your exercise. So the classic exercise that everybody should be doing don't skip on this it's the bouncing ball. I know I know it might sound boring but I'm going to do a clip in the future where I can show you how the bouncing ball is everywhere it's you really cannot skip that exercise. Now to the bouncing ball there are a couple things you can do first you can do a bouncing ball that's pure physics then you can make it a bit more complicated than add a tail still all physics but you can learn about drag and overlap and it's going to be just one step above once you have that and you go for maybe a static up and down to a lift to right you can also add an obstacle course still all physics driven but it's going to bounce around hit certain objects and just make it more complicated in terms of interactions now once you have all of that you can add squash and stretch but still in terms of just somewhat physics it just falls and does things but you can add some squash and stretch once you have that now you can add character so your ball is alive and it's just not bouncing around it is deciding where to go reacting to things and so on and it's a great example that I always love that has everything combined and it goes through a heavy ball a little ball the ball with the tail and it has acting it just there's a bunch of stuff in there and it's just one of my favorite exercises that shows that you can take a bouncing ball and really do a lot with it and tell a little story and it goes through so many principles and you should be able to do something like that before you move on to characters as in like biped or creatures especially it doesn't just have to be a bouncing ball in terms of an object you can go with the cube uh some rigs out there that have like a juice carton with a little straw because you can also continue to other objects that are technically not alive it opens up the whole area of like anything that is just an object give this character and make it think and make it come alive but at one point you're going to transition to humans another classic example would be a pendulum for instance so there's just different things in terms of mechanics in terms of overlap and just things that you can add on top of the basic bouncing ball or just objects so you can learn familiar techniques and just have things break it has joints and stuff like that but at one point you're going to transition to humans now a classic thing is to go from bouncing balls and all those extra things to then a walk cycle but walk cycles despite being short technically in terms of the frame range they're hard to do walks are really hard so I personally I would recommend that you go from bouncing balls and objects and all that stuff to humans but body mechanics and keep it a bit simpler so since you've done a bouncing ball a classic thing to do is a jump so a jump with the human could be something now you can have a character jump in place jump from A to B jump over cliff jump onto something higher jump to something lower many things you can also do a fall back could start high and just fall down and you're getting into some more complex mechanics of course acting things that will also help so you can do a stumble go character fainting so anything where a character falls and it's still somewhat physics driven if you notice that little trend so it's not super character driven just yet but it's more mechanics of multiple objects falling on top of each other and overlapping and stuff like that then another one that I love that I give to my students all the time is the sit down assignment so sitting down onto a chair but also getting out of a chair so sitting down and getting out it's just a classic example because you have weight and you can also start adding character just because of how you sit down are you tired or happy exhausted but more about that later want to make it more complicated you can walk up the stairs or walk down the stairs or a ladder like anything where it's a different mechanics of stepping or holding onto things again you can just expand that into many many more complicated versions of this exercise it could also be climbing over something that could be maybe a kid climbing onto a couch or a you know a human and adult size getting onto a rock like climbing onto it over things so it's not the cubes it's not a normal flat object that you have to hold on to but it's a bit more organic and just unevenly shaped which will then change your posing and adds a asymmetry just more complexity to your posing and your mechanics make it more complicated you can have a character swing right from a to b over something into water like in his example so you can start adding objects where maybe you step onto a ladder into the ladder swings over from like you know one place to another place so again you can think in terms of it's a variation of a previous assignment or previous exercise and mechanic and I'll build on top of that with more complex motion and complex objects and combine all of that now a classic exercise of course is a weight lift so lifting something pushing pulling and there could be something light something kind of somewhat medium heavy and something really heavy a weight assignment is just a classic thing you should definitely not skip that it's just like a bouncing ball it's like one of these classic assignments because it's difficult to portray weight so do not skip that one now if you want to do something where you can actually look at reference and maybe it's not you but some reference you find online you can pick any athletic activity right could be someone running sprinting jumping pole vaulting it could be soccer tennis do you combine a bunch of sports and then you still have all the principles like a basketball right you will have something where you have a throw with the mechanics body like arm moving that with the shoulder and the body but also jumping look at sports as a big inspiration for body mechanics and then for something we're actually driven you can go into fights so you have a lot of reference out there you can check for inspiration and just to see kind of how they do this and it gets very very complicated and really creative in terms of how they fight so that's again another extra level that you can add another thing that has helped me a lot in terms of just exercises and finding inspiration is to look at sets I'm a big fan of looking around and finding either CG sets or just checking online in terms of structures and building that in CG in a very simple way well for instance you have like this image of the stairs I found this a long time ago and to me it's like that would be really cool to run up or run down and speak of which has a great test for Klaus it has everything in terms of mechanics and changes of timing and just complicated moves it's just really cool and inspiring to see this so I would look at sets for sure in terms of inspiration in terms of oh I can have a character jump over this walk over there and so on and so on now your movements don't always have to be big right so you have sports and fighting everything but you should also practice just gestures so it could be grabbing something could be a glass of water I have my ginormous jug of water here you can also start adding props and that would be a different thing about constraints I can do a different clip about that later but if it's a hat putting on a hat taking a hat off or being more intricate and you can put in a puzzle piece or taking certain smaller pieces apart that gets into more detailed finger animation or just opening and closing a door or being affected by a door again doesn't have to be full body could just be halfway but it's a different type of mechanic in different with handles or big things you have to grip so different types of doors again different types of shots or getting in and out of something doesn't have to be a chair so something more complicated like a car because you have to get out of that if hold on to things or it could be like a really tight airplane seat or you're in a bathtub it's something slippery so think about objects where maybe these surface properties are also adding a certain twister animation so it could be slippery sticky hot cold stuff like that now these are all technical things like body mechanics wise now you can take all of that and start adding emotional top of this so if you grab anything is it because you're in a hurry because you're excited because you're angry maybe you're tired so all of those exercises there you can add different kinds of emotional layers on top of that which goes into gear change right you can have a character to go from happy to sad from confused to you know not confused having an idea or being shocked so changes of an emotion or just a general change where you see thought process that is definitely important to practice and it's not just in the face this goes into pantomime so you don't use audio just yet but you're using full body body language for pantomime actions so anything that you just thought about in terms of mechanics jump grabbing something now put a little story on top of that with the character thinking and behaving and reacting and that's really just a silent body acting and the good thing is you could act that out so the bouncing ball you know yes you can find reference but all those object things are a bit trickier but now you're in the land of filming yourself or filming someone else as your as your acting buddy and start planning things out shooting reference and then now you have this whole world of pantomime and once you have all of that again this list is getting really long then you're getting into audio so now you start lip sync but I wouldn't go into like a 10 20 second long lip sync piece big short things couple seconds it could be just a yell even just a cough or someone laughing just short and then you get into a sentence or two and a bit longer then you got one character two characters a back and forth that could be yelling at each other could be something off-screen to react to so the lip sync world is huge I do have a clip about what to choose in terms of audio pieces because you don't want it to be offensive or something where you can't understand things or with heavy accents where you're where you just kind of confused and you're almost distracted from the animation so there's a couple guidelines in terms of what you want to choose if it's an exercise you know again that's what this is about it's a bit looser but once you go into the demo real department gotta be careful what you choose and then also think in terms of framing so your lip sync could be like this frame like that but also try something where it's a full body thing you won't see all the details but it's still important to be able to have a full body animation work with audio in that timing of it and once you have done all of these separate ones like I said before you can start combining things actions and emotions and pantomime and audio you can do something super complex so if you go back to sports let's say a tennis player loses the game screens in frustration so you have your audio in there and then breaks a racket so a lot of mechanics and weight and audio and after frustration falls on his knees and then starts walking on his knees towards the referee so it's not just a walk but it's walk on your knees different kind of mechanics you can have it knee fall and then crawl back on the knee then you can have him crawl to the referee and usually on like you know chairs and like higher up but they can hold on to things they can pull the referee down they can hold on to referee so you start having interactions either with props or with different character referee doesn't care so now you're just pantomime they don't say a word your player gets up frustrated walks away now you're getting into another walk and then as they walk away you can start adding camera animation so we pan with the frustrated player revealing the winner who's just standing in the background and the reporters are there fans are rushing towards you have no crowd animation and more contact and walks and you could add more sound to that where maybe the winner is saying something and you have fans shouting and on top of that you can start cutting it up into separate shots where it's a wide shot a close-up and so on and so on so as you can see you can take all these exercises make them so much more complex combine certain things so you will I mean again it goes into the whole thing of there are too many ideas but you can see how you can start small basic principles just the bouncing ball to something super complex now that is also just for humans that take all of that and go into the animal kingdom and now you want to animate creatures now again I have a series about creatures there so watch that as well but take all of this and think in terms of how does the creature move what is the creature's anatomy does it have wings or a tail is it small is it big how is it reacting to other creatures or creatures with humans the possibilities are endless but whatever you do do not skip the basics and keep the shots short I'm going through again different classes right now that I'm teaching and you can see despite the advice of keep it short some students stick with 10 15 20 seconds it's just too much it's too much to do you don't have enough time you might get into maybe a blocking plus pass and then after the next assignment you don't have enough time to polish things so really keep it short a couple seconds for just a gesture a move maybe three to five seconds because you want to go through the whole process and practice the whole aspect from beginning to final polish and if you want to see what the end result is of all this check out animation schools right animation mentor anim school anim squad they have their show reels of all their students have checked these out these are the top of the top students and that is your reference point of that's where you want to get to and then if you know where you want to work or you have your dream company look at that company's output so what is their portfolio what are they kind of movies or tv shows or whatever you have and all of that is serving as a guide again as your long-term goal but do not skip the exercises and in terms of ricks i have animation v face so check out that site you can go through i have all kinds of ricks from my beginner stuff to more advanced from creatures so anything that's out there there are paid ones they're free ones so that should also be a resource in terms of what kind of rig am i choosing and that's going to also inform the type of exercise because you got to make sure that you don't have a certain idea and then the rig doesn't work for that idea so this is kind of a back and forth in terms of testing the rig in terms of movement or your ideas and then getting to that exercise now as noted in the title this is part one why because exercises are different than a demoreal shop and i have a whole demoreal series again i've got a bunch of stuff but i still want to do a part two that's going to go specifically into demoreal exercise how you take that exercise and tweak it i talked about it before but it's worth mentioning other things on top of that so this goes into my demoreal playlist as well but it will be a part two to this clip and if you are starting out and you want a guide where i can help you go through exercises and critiquing you know what the pitch is my workshops if my workshops are exactly for that so if you need a guide you're starting out you need help you can sign up at any time i can suggest exercise i can see what you're doing already and i can critique that and exercises suggestions on top of that so link in the description all information you can sign up at any time you can start whenever you want my workshops are always open and speaking of time as always thanks for watching till the very end i hope you're still watching and if so thank you thank you for your patience and maybe i come in to you subscribe and if you do thank you hit that bell button so you won't miss any of my uploads and that is that i think for the whole clip so thank you again and hopefully i'll see you in my next upload
