If the pupil is inadequately dilated at the start of the case, it's only going to get worse as the case progresses. Therefore, it makes better sense if you're considering a pupil dilating device to put it in at the start. Here I'm using OVD, in this case, Helon 5, and I put a small amount under the iris between the posterior surface of the iris and the anterior capsule, and exactly the three positions where the scrolls or the eyelets of the Malugan ring are going to engage the pupillary edge. Then I come out, as you can see, and go in with the Malugan ring manipulator to tuck in the proximal scroll right at the side of the incision. Then I rotate the ring, either clockwise or counterclockwise to get it away from the kind of pathway of insertion of my fecohanpies. To remove the Malugan ring, I disengage the proximal eyelet and then go in with my Malugan ring remover and stay in the eye until the entire ring is into the delivery system and then get it out. This way it's safer for decimates and you don't get a tear.

And we were first forecast to have rain totals up around two and a half inches. That's dropped down to about an inch and three quarters, maybe two inches at the most. We've reached out to our partners that we work with, our fire departments and rescue squads. We've sent the forecast to them. We've got a swift water team in Pike County Technical Rescue and we've talked to them about making sure all their equipment's ready to go, check their boats and make sure they've got what they need on those. And just kind of prep and be ready in case something does happen that we don't expect. We might get close to an action stage on a visor or maybe even a tug, but we shouldn't see flood stage at all.


The two instruments that I am holding in my hand, these are the straight and the curved Suchatang Forsep. The straight Suchatang Forsep is held in the left hand during ophthalmic surgery and the curved Suchatang Forsep is held in the right hand. The right Suchatang Forsep is used to tie the knot. The left is used to hold one end of the Suchatang material. Apart from the obvious difference, namely one is straight, the other is curved, let's talk of some similarities which both of them have together. I will use the straight Suchatang material to demonstrate the similarity. If you were to take a look at the tip, we notice that the tip is fine-limbed. It is non-toothed. However, a closer look at the tip will demonstrate that on the inner surface of the tip there is a shallow ridge and the portion distilled to that has got a slightly flattened and a slightly rough surface. Therefore, when I apply pressure to the prongs of the Forsep, the two flat surfaces come together and they gently grip the fine Suchatang material without breaking or tearing them. The same characteristics apply to the curved Suchatang material also. When I apply pressure, it holds the tip of the Suchatang material. The left one holds the straight and the right hand holds the curved. It is used to tie the knot in eye surgery. Stay tuned for the next video.


When I sat down to write this video, I didn't really know where to begin. I found myself sitting there staring at a blank page wondering what to talk about first. I mean heck with the way YouTube works and everyone's short attention spans these days You'll probably click off the video five minutes in and miss some awesome thing I talked about six minutes in but then if I take that and put it at the start so you don't miss it Whatever I was gonna talk about you'll end up missing that instead and we're right back at square one So I can't win. Well wait no I know how to solve this It's so obvious. I'll just talk about everything first at the same time Okay, clearly that's not going to work So you're just gonna have to promise Pinky swear to me that you'll sit through this entire video because it's the only way I'm gonna get through all of it sanely also part of the deal here You kind of gotta smash that like button and have flip on the subscribe button I would do it, but I'm way down with chains. I'm kind of choking. Ah Subscribe. All right, let's just get the music in this game out of the way first since I'll only take a couple seconds The music is um, how do you put it really really freaking good? Every song on this soundtrack is an absolute banger And if you don't believe me boot up this soundtrack on YouTube and pick any one of the 31 songs And I guarantee you you'll want to start opening up that mosh pit in no time It's no surprise really considering the lead composer is the same guy that did bayonetta 2 and near automata These kick-ass tracks will pump through the entire game and that is a perfect companion to the entire adventure Amping you up for fights or just chilling you down as you run around the precinct It's just a really freaking cool soundtrack And that's a perfect segue than any into the next part of this review and that's that this game It oozes cool from the story to the settings the characters the animations the fights the gameplay the visuals the colors Obviously the music being able to pet your legions like it's a freaking Pokemon I mean there isn't a single part of this game that couldn't thump on a broken jukebox to fix it Honestly think that the only real way to describe this game It's just in one word and that's cool and then maybe like a nine out of ten stars next to it I'd give it a ten out of ten, but the platforming did my head in All right the story so it has you playing either as the guy or the gal depending on your preference You're one half of a set of twins twins that harness the ability to chain and control legions now All of this plays out like the best anime you haven't watched yet like seriously This has to get adapted into an anime at some point It's just too good of a concept the world has gone to hell in a hand basket And there's only a few human survivors living on a man-made island called the Ark and now the astral plane is being torn A new one and the world is under attack once again by Khmeras. This is where you and your chained Legions come in to save the day.  In fact, you know what? I'll show you exactly what I mean Honestly, this was just an excuse to sit down. Oh Man stuff to put my switch in the dock Leave it to Platinum games to somehow re-innovate the genre with entirely new gameplay mechanics You would think literally being chained to another character would be restricting in some way You would think that would be restricting but rather they managed to open doors to all new possibilities Not only can you simultaneously control both yourself and your legion But the actual physical chain between both of you can and should be used as a weapon And trust me I wouldn't want to get hit in the face with this and I know that because I've hit myself in the face with This multiple times well-filming with the old one two chain yank You don't physically attack as your legion unless you're triggering a combo or using an ability the legions will seek out enemies on their own You have quite a few options in the gameplay here You yourself can switch between a sword a baton and a gun as well as being able to dodge and if timed right You can follow up into a heavy attack Then you have your legion and depending on which one is active at the time will change up how you play again For example your sword legion will favor being up close, but your arrow legion will favor hanging back Personally, I love having my sword legion break his chain and rush in with a flurry of attacks Well, I sit back with my gun and arrow legion and help him by firing off into sidelines Then of course as I said we do have the chain and they can be used in many different ways The main one will be tying up the bad guys if you run circles around them with your legion They'll get trapped this can help stun enemies during battles or capture near-do wells escaping on foot Your legions can also yank you towards them using the chain which can be used in the battles or in the before mentioned platforming Which we'll get to My favorite use of the chain though is when an enemy is charging at you You can create a trip wire and send them flying back in the direction they came from you can also unlock abilities That will trigger your legions to do things like electrify the chain or rain arrows down along it There's more on top of all of that, but you get the point It's up to you to invent your own style with the mechanics they give you also apparently the cute cuddly koalas are all dead in this universe So that's a negative although if you've ever actually heard a koala before Maybe it's not all that bad, but this game isn't all my hero Texas smash moments and fast-paced gameplay That would make Dante's head spin. There's a whole nother side to this game That's actually pretty chilled out and methodical You're also giving Batman a run for his money here on with gadgets such as an iris scanner That works pretty much like Bruce Wayne's bat detective mode thingy it highlights things of interest collectibles mission goals people lost cats trash Yeah, trash this game has a lot of trash a Lot of trash. Oh, and I'm mad by the way because apparently finding lost cats is a thing And I didn't find out until halfway through the game Why did no one tell me about this like how many cats have I missed how many cats are out there in the rain and the dark and the cold Without a home nowhere to go because I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for them I just want to take care of them. I want to hug them. I want to hug them all, but I can't hug every cat I can't hug every kind of cat Anyway, other than cats and cans there's a ton of stuff You can interact with in the world while you're out talking to witnesses and solving cases like healing people who are down with the sickness or Buying ice cream that stacked unreasonably high and it's in the little details that this game really shines This isn't just a stupidly stacked pile of dairy It's a stupidly stacked pile of dairy that I have complete control over and need to balance using the motion controls while I walk There was no need for this, but they did it anyway Oh, come on you got to be kidding me these exploration parts of the game are great It really gives you the feel for this world they've built there are tons of side missions and optional things you can do you can explore Anyway, you want well almost anywhere. You don't want to go being all dr. Disrespectful But even the optional stuff is really fun and fleshed out Oh, and I think it's funny that abbreviated this game is AC You know like Assassin's Creed and there's an optional mission where you actually have to tail a guy and blend in with crowds Don't worry though. It's only like a one-time two-minute thing. It's not the entire game or anything like that Platinum decided to leave that so, you know every Assassin's Creed game after the second one There is a lot of cosmetic customization in this game as well from your outfits to the colors and even the colors of your legions I appreciated all of that now I can walk around with a crow on my head I was almost worried that I wouldn't be able to do that Astral chain is pretty sizable in length too much longer than your typical story driven action game Mostly due to how absorbed I became in all the optional stuff I would say a lot of my gameplay is spent digging in treasure piles and picking up cans.  Oh God a Home Depot I thought buy some chains I thought wear them for the video I thought it'll be funny It'll be a goof in a gap The only thing in this game that I don't like it is the platforming you can't jump in this game So the only way to cross gaps during the platforming is with the old one-two chain yank. Oh But while it works perfectly fine in combat for some reason it doesn't feel tight and responsive enough for platforming But the chain yank crank isn't something you really have to do that often So it's fine, but literally my only deaths in this game were caused by this thing Now something I do find hilarious All the salt over this game on the user reviews on sites like Metacritic Before this game launched and game reviewers had it in their hands and the review started pouring in it was like 9 out of 10 across the board which it fully deserves But then as of the time I was writing this video out The user score was very different It was at a 6 out of 10 and here is why actually I had to do research into this and I found out apparently after its release The game became a target of review bombing for reasons ranging from its nature as a Nintendo Switch Exclusive game in other words people were literally review bombing this game Because it's only on Nintendo Switch because it's and have they never heard the concept of exclusive game before But it actually looks like as of recording this now That Metacritic at least the site I was using Deleted a lot of those negative reviews and has boosted the user review up to 9 They didn't actually delete all of the negative reviews So what was it you might be thinking that made people rate this game a game That is an 8 or 9 out of 10 in my opinion a lot of people's opinions rate this game a lower score than games like Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky and the recurring theme I saw in all these reviews that rated at zero Was that this Nintendo Switch portable handheld game runs at 30 frames? No, what to say to that? And most of the other bad reviews were people complaining that it's a Nintendo Switch exclusive So they gave it a zero for that so naturally I wanted to go through some of these people that you know gave it a zero and see what it is that they Actually do like what games they actually enjoy, but surprise surprise Pretty much every one of these accounts giving it a zero out of ten or a one out of ten It's the only game they've ever reviewed it's like a throwaway account They made because they were upset they couldn't play it so I thought so I found this one during gamer 25 Who only seems to deal in absolutes everything he rated was either a hard zero or a perfect ten Like Crash Team Racing is a perfect game, but Sonic Racing needs some work And don't get him started with Mario maker 2. Wait a second. This guy's literally given a zero to every switch game He's reviewed And then there's this guy who actually did love Mario maker 2, but gave Mario 64 a zero because it um Aged badly, but Sonic Unleashed now. That's that's a perfect ten because it's pretty decent Breath of the Wild zero smash brothers ultimate zero red dead redemption on Xbox Crap, of course, but red dead redemption on PlayStation Now that's a game and this is why you shouldn't always listen to reviews or what people say or even what I say You make up your own damn mind and you try things for yourself Thank you platinum games because we all need more innovative and original IPs like this one that are just oozing with cool Astral chain is worth trying for yourself and as of right now It's in my top five favorite switch games what else is in my top five favorite switch games Well, not Super Mario maker because as we all know that game is a zero. Hey Subscribe or I'll wrap this chain around your neck next. I know that's aggressive, but that's you too. See you next time

Sailors were honored for their outstanding service to the nation by the Washington Nationals organization during a Major League Baseball game. The event was part of Navy Day at the Washington Nationals Ballpark and included a presentation from Sailors of the United States Navy Ceremonial Color Guard as well as performances from musician first class Kenny Ray Horton. Prior to the game, Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert re-enlisted 35 Sailors from various commands around the region and Vice Admiral William Hallardis throughout the first pitch of the game. The Nationals pay tribute to each branch of the military on various nights throughout the season. For more information about future events and military appreciation days, visit the Nationals website.


Have you ever wanted to make something blow up today? I'm gonna show you how to make a sound of blowing something up So the the next best thing And what's even better? I'm gonna do it all with free and open source software and on Linux. Check it out Hey, I'm Anfa. I'm an electronic music producer and sound designer So I only use open-source software and Linux and this video I'm gonna make some explosion sounds because that's fun and we can also learn some Interesting things about sound design and producing sound effects. I'm gonna be using Ardor, which is my DAW of choice Okay, so I like to start making explosions with a synthesizer. So let's open up a synthesizer Let's go create a MIDI track What could we use? Vitalium and let's have maybe for instance is just for good measure Okay, yes, I want my MIDI keyboard to follow selection and provide music data. Now, let me disconnect the MIDI tracks So they don't all play and just one Yes Fantastic Now let's open up the plug-in and See what we can do Explosions are violent increases in air pressure which create a shockwave and a lot of turbulence or chaotic air movement So let's maybe go with noise Here's a sampler. We can make the noise stereo in a vitalium by dragging the stereo control over the pitch This is fine You can also increase the amount And now left and right channels are playing at different speeds You can also start this at random places. So it doesn't matter because we want to make explosions So we can have one This way every single Hit is gonna sound a little bit different Now this sounds way too bright. So I'm gonna open a filter Make sure that sampler is going into that filter. You see that it also changes here. Let's wait with the backup a little bit, okay? now that's quite quiet, so I'm gonna make this louder and Do the resonance I'm gonna up the drive Also, I am going to Give myself a little bit more volume in here Okay, I think I want to also transpose this noise sample and Maybe even add some random variation. I'm gonna grab the random source put it here All right, I'm gonna speed it up and Lower the influence Let's slow it down all right now this sounds a bit like wind and Explosions are kind of like a special case of wind I'm going to Alter the envelope one which is the amplitude envelope. Okay, that sounds more like What we're going for? Maybe let's remove the attack Time so it's perfectly quick if we zoom in you can see that the default Has a little bit of attack you can minimize we remove that completely Okay, this is like a bit too chill Let's try a different filter There's a bunch of types of filters. We're using the analog one.  So that's the minimum and I'm gonna turn this up. So that's the maximum Now this envelope controls how loud the noise is at its source Because with this envelope we are controlling how loud the sound is at the end of the signal chain So after our filter and it would make sense to distort the sound more in the filter when it's louder and Not just turn it down later because that's weird Okay, let's lower the sustain here as you can hear now We have Something that sounds a little bit like an explosion So we could definitely add some more what we could also do is use another filter filter to and Use two of them in parallel. I'm gonna first disable the first one Enable sample so that our sampler goes to filters one and two You can maybe change this to a band pass. I could also use this I would like to change the curvature, but I don't want to affect anything else. So I'm gonna go to matrix Which is shorthand for modulation matrix. That's it. That's the thing and here you can see we have envelope two Which is this one and it's being used to control filter to cut off There's a few things first is we have a fantastic remapping function, which we could just use To do this and now you can see This is way snappier But there's also this thing which does the same thing Let's copy this and initialize so you see we have a shorthand for making this kind of bending Built in a right into this Matrix with the morph thing Okay, let's go back to our voices What if we distort that Okay, the analog filter is quite clean I would say let's try the dirty one First without distortion or drive Okay, let's see if we can find something that distorts even more. What about the ladder? All right, that's funny. Okay, let's go with diode. I believe that's a model of a cork filter. Oh That's weird, okay, so it's either low pass or band pass This sounds to me like a nice Reverb like echo Response of the environment where the explosion happens. I like this. Let's see what happens if we Enable this first filter again. Nice. Let's disable the second one Can you hear the difference? Of course, this doesn't sound like a realistic explosion yet We could keep working on it and finally get there But it's already way better than what we had before Also, I have an idea To maybe go to the matrix and see envelope two sample level can we Change this What if we do two? Will that accept it? No, no, that is too much So if I make this By polar We can Okay, I think what we could do. Let's make it in a polar is Use another envelope make it just shorter. There we go Oh So you see we are adding a little bit of a Really nasty click I think I'd also like to move this thing. Let's see. What if we and they Assigned this Okay, that's way too much What if we also, I don't know Change the oh, what did I do? I think I did nothing. I Would like to assign it here to this one. Okay, that's it and now reverse that All right, what about this? Okay, we can also use that Okay, this is very very sensitive Even a tiny bit Is there like a modifier key that I can use to have more precision Okay, I can just oh if you control click you can type in okay 0.01 All right, control click again. Let's type 0.02 We can middle click to disable. I think that's an appropriate amount. See how little we get what we did Okay, I think what we could do to improve that is also add a little bit of a percussive hit not Entirely unlike a kick drum, so it's an able to oscillator And now it's going to a filter which is distorting so I'm gonna go to effects Sweet, okay First is we may want to disable note tracking on this oscillator so that whatever I press it sounds the same we could also and Up the over sampling to hopefully get cleaner distortion I think I'm gonna keep note tracking for the oscillator Okay, we need to make this a sine wave. We could use some Harder any Presets, I think they're not okay. Let's go edit this Right-click clear and just add one harmonic Well single one and this clear it as well These these are the phases and these are the amplitudes of harmonics Okay, we can actually save this as sine Wow, I'm gonna be the author of sine amazing Great. Now we can think of we go shift. Yes holding shift we can offset the pitch by Entire octaves instead of just half steps or half tones rather Hmm. All right. I think what we need is a nice snappy amplitude as envelope like this one But maybe let's take a different one. I should like how that screamed Yeah, that's not really You know what? I've just realized we're distorting signal. Okay, that was way too loud. Okay, so We want a very quick and Large change in pitch No, let's disable the sampler Also, let's disable the phase randomization We can also change the phase. I'm gonna control click and type 90 This means that our waveform is not gonna start here. It's gonna start here So we have a nice click almost like an 808 But we don't want that we want something more. Let's go with this Just not so much Okay, let's shift this down another octave. Oh, sorry shift Yes, we can also move this to the level and turn down the base level to zero Let's turn on the sampler Yeah, so I think this little sine wave gives us a bit more Low-end now, let's go to post processing. Let's go with effects We can try distortion It would be nice to maybe Use a pre-filter Change it to a band pass This adds some interesting character. Let's try Added just a bit. All right. That's interesting. Let's see what we can do with the reverb We could improve this up the size and reduce the time This is how this reverb sounds on its own What if we also use this to add snappiness? You could also add some punch to this kick drum element With some distortion You can maybe enable it Oh, there's also a phase and we could enable unison in detune To have this a little bit less clean or focused Okay, we have something going on I think what we could also do is try and use the compressor Now by default the compressor is in multi band mode and it has three bands And you can see ratios Are expressed the compression ratios are expressed with these lines And this is a upwards downwards compressor So I believe at first it compresses downwards So these are like the downwards compressors and then it compresses upwards, which is Like it brings the quieter parts up This means you can either limit the high amplitudes or not Or you can limit the low Which will try to lift the quieter signals up to the same loudness Isn't this even working like an expander? What if we move the reverb above that? Okay, maybe if we lower the mix so that there's less reverb because the compressor accentuates the reverb a lot Okay, I don't like that. It's too long. Alrighty I think that's kind of Usable let's see what we can do with dq One thing is we could use a hypers filter to maybe control the lows a little bit because they are quite crazy And this is also useful if you're trying to like This sounds a little bit similar to The micro missiles in doom 2016 So like a general rule of sound design is Sounds which are higher in pitch Are created by smaller objects Sounds that are lower in pitch Are created by larger objects So if you are making a smaller explosion For example, it would make sense to use this eq Maybe like that And you don't have all this crazy bass going on Yeah, it it sounds like a it could be a grenade or a Small rocket Maybe even a shotgun. I don't know. Of course. This sounds a little bit Synthesis ashy clicks synthy and you may not want that For like non realistic graphics For a video game this could work If you're going for realistic looks well, this is Not gonna cut it on its own You will need to use At least some form of recorded explosions And you can blend this in and blending recorded explosions with Synthesized ones gives great results Because you have all the control of the synthesis And you have the character of the recorded sounds It's great to even like go and record some firecrackers And I actually have a recording of a firecracker That I could bring up and show you how that Works So let's let me find that recording So here is a recording of a firecracker And as you can see, there's a lot of very interesting characterful reverb That it's really difficult to synthesize something like that but If we combine the two Let's create a note Also the pitch of the note Changes There are also different ways we could affect that Something very useful that I used when designing Sounds for tanks firing shells Firing their cannons is using convolution reverb with something like this firecracker So what we could do is For example use this another vitalium instance And maybe use our awesome sign preset Drop this Remove the phase randomness make this Always start with a click get shorter Okay, we can also distort it maybe post Almost hard style Oh my goodness This makes me want to drop it and start making hard style. What about to do is to do is Wait to not enough highs What the hell we need more highs Okay, a little bit noise Sure Oh, that's a good note. Okay, I'm gonna record that actually Because I I don't want to search on the keyboard. Which note is it? Okay, let's go with that and now You have this I'm gonna add an IR Which is an impulse response reverb And now We can actually if we open the Plug in with generic controls Okay, no So now we can open a file Load this Now if we go no dry You can see this is our This is our um sound Which is multiplied with this Reverb recorded reverb. It's good to do some fade out Okay, and afterwards we can also apply compressor Lsp multi band compressor Okay lsp multi band Compressor stereo times eight Sure, I want to favorite this plugin. That's one of the more useful ones. Okay Greetings, you've updated. Sure Actually, this is the fresh Linux arch Linux installation I haven't used these plugins yet Okay, what we need to do is up the ratios ratios are here Let's go maybe to four to one Can use four bands of this compressor You can also change this to yeah, the it Sidechain boost this determines that the the spectrum like none Is neutral pink like boosts lows a little bit Brown is like more Or maybe it's the other way around No, it doesn't sound good I'm just gonna row lower the Where is it attack decibels? Okay, this is the and where is makeup gain? Okay, so I should make up again is this And together Okay, there's a little slight delay. We need to and now again Lower sounds larger objects We can I'm gonna copy this alt one to mute it. We can t To time stretch Oh, there's a new Wow, there's a new mode. Awesome. I haven't seen that resampled without preserving pitch. Yes. This is gonna just Change this playback speed Now I'm also going to apply this to our our original firecracker I don't think This flanger is doing ours Doing us any good. There's so many cool things we can do Like I don't know maybe use an LFO on this This sounds a little bit like a rocket going off because it's okay. Let's change the starting point I've published some sounds on freesound.org which are firecracker explosions and you can cut out Their license on their creative comments zero so we can just get them. You don't have to credit me So that's always appreciated And you can make your own explosion sounds based off of that and using impulse response reverb is very Nice and and gives you Makes you makes it possible to mix a recorded explosion sound with Something else and achieve an interesting result and also this plugin can also as well stretch Time stretch this reverb. So I think we need to change this Fade out so because okay, uh Now I'm gonna apply some Processing on the master bus because this is only x42 dpl Yes, we need a limiter as you can see I have no favorites in this on the system because this is very fresh Okay, we are we've been clipping this signal very strongly Let's see. Do I have Chow tape Oh, I don't okay wolf shaper. Okay wolf shaper Wolf shaper favorite as well Wolf shaper is a distortion plugin Which has an oversampling Mode I can enable alter return The good thing is we can Quite clean or the saturator signal because it features this oversampling without the limiter And with the limiter Now it's clear that we are with our signals way too loud And we are losing a lot of transient in This process I'm going to enable the sample peak true sample uh limitation So that we don't go above the limit Okay, and I think that's that could be it Of course if we had multiple sounds and usually when you're doing sound effects, you're don't you don't do one session per sound effect You're gonna have a thousand or 50 or 200 sound effects in one session depending on What your system can handle and how you want to organize your work But I've made different videos where I show how to manage that so I'm not gonna talk about this This was a video about making an explosion sounds Okay, that's all for today. I hope you found this video interesting inspiring educational If you have any questions about this topic or anything else regarding audio production with free and open source software and linux Or if you have suggestions for what I could do in a future video, please leave them in the comment section below Thanks for watching I'd also like to thank everyone who is supporting my work financially Thanks to these people. I can keep making videos If the view dear viewer would like to join them Please go to patreon.com slash anfa or liberapay.com slash anfa which is a free and open source alternative to patreon And there you can support me with a monthly donation. Even one dollar means a lot to me. All right. Um I think that went pretty pretty okay. Uh Yeah, without without using any recorded audio. It's it's not really possible to make Explosions that sound realistic if you keep if you stay you On synthesized sound, it's always gonna be sounding stylized and for some games or animations This can be what you maybe what you need if you need something more realistic then You're gotta get some recorded explosions even small ones. You can always Stretch them out slow them down and make them sound bigger Or just grab a pack of Firecrackers and Oh, and also if you do that Consider uploading them to freesound.org under a creative command zero license. So we can all use that as well All right, and make some explosion sounds


Hi, I'm Eugene. I'm an artist in Singapore. I'm 28 years old this year. Let's start with some of my early works, which flashed just now. This was a photographic work that I did in 2010. This actually changed my life completely. I was going to be a game designer, working to be a game designer programmer in a big company or some sort like that. And then I made this picture to leave photography behind because I was looking through my portfolio. Some of my friends knew that I did photography. And then they were like, hey, show me one of your best works. Then I flipped through my photography stuff and I realized that I do not have one picture that I want to show people. So I did this work and I left it there, 2010. And I went on to do programming. I was really proud of this, but two years, nobody cared about it. It was on the internet, nobody cared about it. Then suddenly one day, it just went viral on Facebook. So I woke up and then I saw 2,000 shares on my Facebook. What is going on? Then later that day, it became a bigger number. Then suddenly, galleries were contacting me saying, hey, we want to see more. But the thing is that was the only one. So then the galleries were like, okay, never mind. Let's just show this one. And then after that, it has been two years and I've made two solo shows and more works have come. And this year, I had my second solo show at the beginning of this year. And there was a company who I've known for a while. They saw me at my first show. They decided, hey, let's feature you in my company calendar. And I'll buy one of each of your works. And this is the calendar. So back then, when I was doing art, I was an art student. I went to various museums. And then there was one particular one where I went to London. And it was called A New Perspective Show. And I went there really excited. Let's go and see a new perspective. So I went in. I was a little bit disappointed. But there were good works to be shown. Really bizarre works. But it wasn't what I perceived as a new perspective. So being a coder, artist, I decided to do my own version of what I felt was a new perspective. So I made a pair of goggles. I bought them from a shop. It is one of those remote control first person view where you can fly an airplane. And then you put a camera on top. And then you put on these goggles. And you can see from that airplane. So I bought one of those. And I decided to use them to change people's perspective. So there were three ways I manipulated those goggles. The first one was to let people see from a CCTV point of view. So it's like a third person. This was what they saw. And this installation was at Singapore Art Museum last year. It's been exhibited a few times before. But I think the most elaborate one was for a Singapore Art Museum. I have a video of what people went through. So you can see this is what they saw. I had five cameras. It would switch every five minutes. It was at first like switching every one minute, but people were too confused. So five minutes would be better. So this is a quick version. Then there was a second method where I changed people's perspective. But this time it involved two friends where both of them I swapped their vision. It sounds very simple. Just swapping their vision. I see what you see and you see what. But it is actually very disorienting.  But it messes up the other guy. So in the end you have to really cooperate with one another. And I wasn't there. But one of the gallery sitters told me, because this was there for three months. I'm surprised my equipment survived. But this was there for three months. And people were telling me there were quarrels.  So I'm really sorry for that. But hey, and then there was the last one. And this one I call the lizard vision. Because you know VR, right? The stereoscopic VR you have different cameras. Two cameras that look straight to mimic what you see. But I did something different where I have the goggles. The goggles actually show the same image on both sides. But I decided that was not cool enough. I wanted to make them have two different images so that I can mimic the VR-ness. So I bought two and combined them into one. I just opened it up and decided that hey, it's actually pretty easy to solder together. So I soldered it up and taped it up like this. It looks like a mess now. So I put them at the front to mimic VR.  Then that was just to test whether it worked. So it worked as a VR goggle for real life. Then my intention was to split the cameras apart so that they look in both directions. Like how lizards see. So you can see in this thing that I'm holding the camera. One of them is facing here, the other one is facing that side. So this was to mimic what animals with this type of vision see. I put this on. I thought it was going to be really disorienting. Yes, it was. But after half an hour, I was okay with it already. So I adapted to this kind of vision. So do.sg, that's my website. See more of my works at this website. Funny story about when I purchased this domain. This was about three years ago. When I got this, I was so surprised that it existed for my purchase. I was like what? Nobody else bought it. So within the next week, I bought 56 other one-word.sg domains. And engineers.sg, I missed that one now. I bought all these domains so they all belong to me. And what I did with them was I put them on webart.sg to let anybody adopt them for free and do whatever they want. Because I didn't want to be just squatting on them and doing nothing. So at the end of the 2013, I had 20 websites of people's creativity and I wanted to show them some place. So I had some connections in the art world since I already stepped into the art world and people are showing me already. I went around galleries. Hey, do you want to show my project? And then they were like, this is great, but nobody would buy it. And they need to pay rent, right? The physical gallery. So in the end, me being, I know coding. So I decided, hey, I have all this virtual space, right? And I decided to make a multiplayer gallery where people can log in. And I have gallery.sg. So I decided to adopt it myself. And I made a gallery where people came in and they adopt a male-female character and they walk around and look at the art from the websites that were made from the domains that I bought. So this was from the opening. The most viewer was at the opening. After that, I was pretty much dead already. And after this project, this was 2013 already, I went on to further gallery.sg. to a second oak before that. I have, in relation to VR, for that particular show, I had VR enabled. So it worked with the Oculus Rift and anybody could go in with the option. It was really fun to see my creation in virtual reality. But nobody came in with the VR option. So I guess it's not there yet because nobody has the equipment. So the next project I made, I just excluded it because it was additional. It was on the web. It was on the web. People needed to download the game. So I just excluded the feature altogether so that I can have less megabytes for people to download. And for the next show, I worked with a curator, Steven. He's there. I've known him for a long time. A funny story is that I met him about nine years ago. And then he was going around selling this software, game making software. And back then, I wasn't into gaming yet, into programming yet. So he was selling this software and I was just helping him do the illustration. I was into art. Then nine years later, I decided to... he became a curator and I decided to work together with him again. So this show is ongoing. So if you go to the gallery, this is the show that you'll be seeing. These projects, if you are wondering, these are all black hole projects because I put in money, I put in effort. There's no money gained for me. It's just like really I'm just doing it for the fun of it and I'm really lucky that I do not have to worry about finances, I'm good there. Because with my photography, with my art, just money comes in from various places. So I'm really lucky to be able to do that and do stuff that I want to do. So after all these projects, suddenly I got a call from the Supreme Court.  I'm like, hey, Eugene, is this Eugene we're calling from the Supreme Court? They were really serious.  Is it my downloaded movies or something? I confessed everything. But hey, no, actually we want to work with you to do a virtual gallery. You know the old Supreme Court building, right? It's going to be the new National Gallery. They wanted to preserve that as the old Supreme Court, like historically, but they couldn't do that in a physical space so they wanted to engage somebody with the skills to do that. So they called me. They was like, oh, okay. So I went down to the Supreme Court for a meeting and I've been going down there every other month. So they wanted a project that was on the Apple iPhone and Android. And at that point, I've never done an Apple or Android app. So on the phone, I was like, so you want an Apple and Android app? So I thought for a while and I told them, okay, because I knew theoretically how to do it but I've never actually done it. But today it's already on the Android and Apple Store if you know what to look for. Oh, Supreme Court. It's still in the beta phase. And this is screenshots of the inside switch. Although I am a 3D modeler, I recognize that there are other people who are better than me and since I quoted them a huge budget, I had to hire other people who were better. So 3D modeling, I hired someone else. And also for sound, my sound guy is here, Jeremy. He is the go-to guy for sound for games. So if you want to talk to him, he's here. So after getting... it was really funny to be paid for something like that because I've always been doing projects like this and just expecting nothing. I just do it for the fun of it. And so far they have paid me 60% of everything I asked for and I've been rolling in money already. So it comes to another point in my life where suddenly my family decides, hey, actually, you're getting some money, right? Why don't you pay the bills? And then they'll say, hey, you're the one who is staying at home all the time because I don't have a full-time job. I just do this. I just do me full-time. And then at home. So I'm like, okay, okay, why not? And then I saw the bills. It was crazy. It was a crazy amount. So I told them, okay, now nobody use ACON. And then they just laughed at me like it was the funniest thing and continued turning on the ACON. And then I decided, this is not cool because when I have to pay for something, I decide that I want to reduce it because I'm a very minimalist guy even when people come to my room at home, right?  So I'll just like throw easily throw away anything like gifts from people that I don't use and sitting there for two years, gone. That kind of thing. And I'm very organized. So my code, when I code my games, it's also very organized. So I decided that I want to solve this problem where we're paying so much for electricity bills. This comes my next project which I want to, which I'm very interested in because suddenly I have to pay for bills. Solar power.  And whenever I get to my car, it's so hot, right? Someone needs to harness their energy. Why not my, why not me to reduce my power bill? So I've been talking to several solar power people getting to know how it works. And I have a habit of jumping different genres like photography, then suddenly doing games and so on. Now this is the next one that I'm going to jump to. So in October, I will be going to, going to a factory in China to work with some solar panel people and let's see what we can come up with because so far solar panels has been, it's very expensive to install and you only see like the returns after like four years of paying bills. So that is not my idea of saving. So I want to go there and see how it works and then do something inexpensive so that we can empower people like me and you to reduce your power bills. And this is really like the source to, I mean reduce the overall, overall cost of living. And the cost of living is really crazy these days. Like I have a story, I was in New York early this month and then I was driving from Washington to Boston but I got tired so I decided to rest in New York. I've been to New York before so I didn't really want to get out that night but when I was going to New York I was stopped by the police because in every state, right, you can turn right on rate except New York City and I did not know that. So I turned right on rate, I just happily turned right on rate and then there was a police car right behind me and then he's like, oh, give me a break. I told him, come on, give me a break. I'm new here but nope, he just gave me a ticket. So 200, I think it was 200 US dollars. So I was in the hotel, I was furious like, what? I decided to, and I was early in New York so I decided to okay, I must get my money's worth. I looked around on Meetup and then I saw this Meetup where it was gallery hopping. I was like, okay, gallery hopping, let's go to that to at least get some inspiration in return for giving the police 200 dollars, right? So I went to the meetup and apparently it was a gallery opening night for several galleries and gallery opening night means free wine.  I am LGBT supporter and then they were hitting, they were, at first they were okay.  For an ambulance, right? so I truly believe that energy would lower the cost of living so, thank you very much


Hi everyone, my name is Steph. This is Little Bookish Teacher and today I'm here to talk to you about the first four books in the Narwhal and Jelly graphic novel series for younger readers. I know that there are more books in this series but I happen to get the first four books in a box set so I have only read these ones. So book one is Narwhal Unicorn of the Sea, book two is Super Narwhal and Jelly Jolt, Narwhal Peanut Butter and Jelly, and book four is Narwhal's Otter Friend. These are so fun. I'm so glad that I read them and that I can add them to my kids book collection because I just had a really great time reading them from the really gorgeous, simple illustrations that are very expressive and emotive. Like they're just gorgeous to look at for something that is very, very simple. It conveys a lot of emotion and fun and whimsy. As I said these are comic books and each of the books follows the same format which I love. So there are five sections in each book. The first one is the initial story. Then we get a fun fact section that relates to the story. So it's usually see animal facts related to whatever is happening in the book. Then we come back with a second story that links in with the first one. And then from book two onwards we get a slightly different comic story featuring Waffle and Strawberry who are two characters that Narwhal and Jelly make up. So they get like this sub-comic story which is really cool. And then the final story comes back to whatever adventure Narwhal and Jelly have been on in the first two parts of the book and brings that story full circle. These books are all about friendship, the ups and downs, the highs and lows. In the first book they become friends and then they make more friends. In the fourth book, when Narwhal makes a friend with Otter, Jelly feels left out and feels like they're being left behind. So it's those very normal feelings of feeling like you don't fit in, you're being left out, you're a bit jealous of what's going on and how do you deal with that. It's about finding commonalities and differences amongst your friends and that all of that is okay and natural. There's really clever language use in here. There are some puns, there are just some really great simple sentences that are great for those readers who are learning to read independently. There's some really clever pop culture references particularly in Super Narwhal and Jelly Jot which is more of a superhero inspired story. So if you are familiar with very famous popular superheroes there are some references in here. And most of all I just loved how fun they were. Like there is a sense of joy in these books and just wonderful characters who you want to spend time with and you want to read more of their stories. Like I want to go out and get the rest of this series to have it because I just enjoyed it that much. In terms of age range you're probably looking at five to eight or nine year olds who would really enjoy this story but that said that those age categories can go up or down depending on the individual reader. These would be great in any classroom or library because they are engaging, they're fun, they've got simple language and they deal with themes that students will come across all the time particularly around friendship. I'll leave links down below where you can find out more information about these four books specifically as well as the series as a whole. If you've read the series and would like to talk to me about it in the comments I'd love to chat to you about them. I'm thrilled that I finally got a chance to sit down and read them. Or if you have recommendations for other graphic novels that are similar to Narwhal and Jelly feel free to let me know. If you want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment feel free to leave a jellyfish emoji down below. Otherwise I hope that wherever you're on the world just staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone!


These I love this line These will all flood into your heart as a bitter torrent at that fateful time like a river of regret Or a stream of sorrow. I mean this is some strong language.
