Hi, everyone. Good afternoon. Thanks for coming to our presentation today. My name is Rani Hybi. I'm the CTO. For those of you, I see some familiar faces here, but for those of you who still don't know me, I'm the CTO of Networking Engine Access at the Linux Foundation. You might know me from my previous life as an assistant architect working for various Linux Foundation member companies like Nokia, Samsung, and Alcatel Lucent back in the days. With me today is Tyler Carpenter, who's the CNF workgroup co-chair, one of the co-chairs, and also the co-owner of the Vulp software cooperation. And we're going to talk about the future initiative or where the cloud-active network initiative is going with the Linux Foundation. So we're going to do a little intro and I'll explain what I mean by this cloud-active network initiative, speak about the motivation and what really brought us here, and what are we are trying to achieve, what are our goals, when is it going to happen, the timeline, and I'm going to speak about how it relates to, we are going to speak about how it relates to some existing assets that you're probably already familiar with or already actively contributing to. And then we'll stay tuned because we're going to ask for your participation, so please bear with us. So what are we talking about here? I think we all know that when it comes to telecom, everybody's talking about the transition or evolution to cloud-native, meaning we want to use technologies that were proven to be efficient with enterprise computing, with hyperscalers, and we want to bring him in to the telecom domain or networking domain, but the question is how exactly do you do it, and where do you go to, and what open source assets are available to you. And this is exactly what we're going to talk about today, and this initiative is all about helping you to adopt this cloud-native technology for networking, whether it's telco networking, enterprise networking, hyperscalar networking, whatever your networking needs are. So in a very basic form or in a nutshell, what we are talking about here is combining efforts, meaning that some of the initiatives that existed under the CNCF and were related to networking technologies will merge with some assets that we have at the LF networking, and we're creating a new home for everything related to cloud-native functions under one roof under the Linux Foundation networking. Now, a few of the other technology assets that are relevant to what we call cross-domain cloud-native in general will remain under the CNCF, and the CNCF will continue to build and evolve them, and as you can expect, we foresee a lot of collaboration between these two organizations, the LF networking and the CNCF. And what we are currently starting with or spearheading is focusing on two areas which are certification of network functions, and a test catalog to help that certification. We're also bringing in and keeping some of the work that's been done in past years around best practices, and we expect this program to grow over time and add other aspects, and I will hand it over to Tyler to provide more details. All right, so the motivation behind it. Why are we doing all this? So, a little bit of a back story. LFN has been doing networking since it started, that's kind of the point, and as cloud-native was getting going more and more, of course the networking needs have caused other projects and initiatives to spin up. Kubernetes, being cross-domain meant it's going to eventually need to take on more of what's in Telecom and Edge and other things, and so that's where, as Lucina had mentioned in 2018 during one summit, the concept for cloud-native network functions are really we're saying the network applications that are applications focused on network functionality that came into play, and so we have CNFs. What do we do from there? So then we ended up with a CNF test bed, within CNCF a Telecom user group, which a lot of folks ended up coming from LFN and other groups, and we produced a white paper, and then eventually there was the CNF test suite, and then we launched a beta certification within CNCF, and we've had a bunch of products now that have gone through that. At the same time LFN was working on more of the platform side, and how do we build this out? So the Anakit project, specifically on the Kubernetes side, was moving forward. There's a lot of collaboration between the groups, the cloud-native principles papers, which tied into the working group and best practices, that went right into the reference architecture for LFN Anakit, and we've continued to go forward, but one of the what we end up with is where do you get started on this? So that's I think one of the the main challenges that we had was where do you come in? What do you do? So that's why we're trying to bring this unified front and have some type of unified collaboration. So going from there like the motivation behind it, so we have this continued adoption of cloud-native into production, and Deutsche Telcom just launched a 5G standalone network that's running on these Kubernetes-based deployed platform and environment that's using like GitOps patterns and other things. Orange is doing similar things. They've had a I think 2021 was their experimental network, and that's tying in with silver and everything. They're trying to have full automation for the network in 2025. So these are like we're cloud-natives been here, but now we're really getting there in production. So there's this need for more testing and validation. How do we work with multi-cloud? If you're bare metal, which I've seen a lot of them, or if you're running across clouds, Telus is running on Amazon with some other 5G core. You have other ones in different areas. So that ties in with this vendor interoperability. So you've got a lot of different clouds. You've got a lot of different CNFs and components, whether you're on the core or all the way out to the ran, the edge, and how do you test? How are you going to validate? If you have one vendor and they're running their pipelines and they think they're good and another one, but how do you actually make sure that you're going to work well together? And then how does the operation team at a CSP, how are they going to know? So, you know, transparent validation testing, that's about the interoperability as well. And we're versions, releases. So as we move more to production, the deployments and upgrades, you have the testing and stuff that ties into all of this. But you also have the tooling and stuff for the automation. I was mentioning those GitOps patterns and everything. You have some people that are using Flux CD and Argo CD and others are doing Flux CD with Argo workflow. And then you have Nephio project that's doing some similar things and operator patterns. So the, you know, these end users, they're wanting to adoptions of this. And I think the testing and validation is a big part in that the real strong adoption of automation. And this is not just at the end whenever they're running in production, but I think we're also talking about how to give the creators the capability to do the testing and feel confident to get releases out faster. So just a little bit more on the end users. We're talking about the whole ecosystem here. Everybody is working together and we want this cloud native networking program to be valuable for the whole community.  And I think if you're a creator and you can be confident in your CI CD pipeline, then it's going to help you release faster. You're going to lower your maintenance and support effort. If you're a communication service provider, then, you know, you're driving those challenges and communicating. And we want to make sure those are out in the use cases, the challenges are upfront so everybody understands them and then relate the best practices there. And then ideally we're providing tests in a test suite that can be used by operators for onboarding. We can put it right in the pipelines. The creators, the developers that are building the different components, they can use the same sets of tests. So we can use it all the way through. And then as a whole, we feel more confident. And maybe it's right there, you know, we've talked with some folks like Microsoft for the Azure for operators and others that are interested in maybe even providing testing as a service. Maybe we'll see that. But I think it's important to think about it as a whole. All right. And I'm going to turn it over to Ranny to go over a little bit of the scope now that we've talked about the motivation. Yeah, so hopefully you got a little bit curious about, okay, what exactly is this program? So the next slides will provide hopefully some more details. So what you see in this diagram, and I'm sorry, it's a bit busy and maybe the not perfect choice of colors with the old yellow. So didn't realize that. But anyway, I wanted to focus on the lower part of this diagram. And it shows kind of in this green frame what we're talking about. And it starts with on the left, lower left side with best practices about how to build the network functions and deploy them. And that covers everything from the edge of the network to the core across everything that's in between. And on top of that, we propose or we plan to have test tools that will help you make sure that you've correctly followed those best practices. And on top of that, there will be certification, which will be optional. If you want to go all the way and kind of get your CNF through all the tests and eventually make sure it's certified to follow all the best practices. And what you see here on the vertical, on the vertical axis is where we're going to focus. So starting at the bottom with things that are more what we call foundational. We mean things that kind of validate the follow-ins of basic cloud native tenants, which are not specific to any specific network function or any specific implementation of the cloud. But over time, we hope to add more test and certification that will be more oriented toward our existing open source projects, things like Anuket for the infrastructure, things like nephew for how you orchestrate and manage those network functions. And also maybe further along the line, serving projects like Silva, which is defining how to build a standard compliant cloud native infrastructure for telco and Kamara that deals with the exposure of APIs, but also has requirements for the network function that are providing these APIs. So again, it's a lot of different blocks and things that and it may be a bit over the place, but what we are trying to start with is maybe the lower layers and the best practices, test tools and certification that we'll talk about in more details. Now, you probably are familiar with this diagram. Don't worry if you've seen it for the first time and you're a bit overwhelmed, but if you are familiar with the work of the Linux Foundation Networking, I'm sure you've seen this diagram. This diagram kind of gives you an idea about the ecosystem of open source and commercial offerings that are out there that enable you to build end to end network services using leveraging the best of open source technology. So this new initiative that we're talking about is not disconnected from this landscape. It's actually being built with all this landscape in mind. I already mentioned a few of the projects that we plan to work with or collaborate with in the short term, but over time we think that we will have more collaboration with other projects and in general the goal of the initiative is to help you build end to end networks using these building blocks that are also compliant with the open source and cloud native best practices. So again, probably a lot of information to absorb for the first time, but just to kind of make things more specific, what we are focusing on right now is how to test and certify the cloud native network functions or applications or CNFs. We, something called them for short, but in the future we're going to kind of expand the horizon and look at things like the platform itself, the automation of the deployment, not just the initial deployment, but also the entire life cycle. We're going to look into things that may be relevant, for example, RAN or in our case Open RAN more specifically. And we're also at some point probably are going to be able to offer project specific testing and certification. And we mentioned NFU is one example of a network orchestrator that we're looking to work with closely and create testing and certification that are specific for cases where NFU is used. Yeah. And so I mentioned, we mentioned tests a lot and I want to make clear that what we envision is an approach of a test catalog, meaning creating a large set of tests and test suites, but providing them in the form of a catalog, meaning it's not a big monolith that you have to use as a whole or not, but rather a catalog, as the name suggests, where you can pick and choose the tests and certifications that are relevant to your use cases without having to worry about things that may not be relevant in your use case. So we're going to, as Tyler mentioned, we are aiming to serve whoever is building and deploying cloud native network functions. So whatever helped that adoption, we hope that program will bring. And this kind of modular approach to the test catalog, we think will help with the adoption of this test and certification, meaning that everybody can use as little or as much as they need from that catalog. Yeah. And so I started by kind of highlighting the things we feel will be the short term deliverables of this program, but we have great plans for later. So I'll let Tyler say a few words about that. Yeah. So we're coming to the end of 2023, but we're wanting to keep the momentum going. So I think maybe the first thing to say, I keep saying it's at the end, but the community side, we're wanting this ecosystem to have input from everyone. And we are going to try to keep going with the certification and the test development that we have right now, but we want to make sure and keep getting input. So we're going to have a workshop tomorrow. I'll talk about in a minute. And you can attend remotely or in person. And we have a lot of existing resources. So if you have ideas on stuff that's happening right now that you think would be useful, so whether it's part of the test catalog tooling framework, best practices, then we want to hear from you and keep that going. I think this transition is going to be happening through the end of 2023 and into the start of 2024 as far as the actual tooling and testing and certification going over into LFN. We're going to keep supporting the existing products that have been certified. And if you're interested in certifying, it's available and working right now. So then going on with the goals and scope that Brandy was talking about, ideally the project specific, those other communities, Silva and Camara, if there's specific things like maybe specification or requirements that you think are relevant that are maybe in the Silva project or somewhere else that you think will be relevant across the board, then those are good to highlight earlier. And of course, if there's something you're seeing coming up in the future that's aligned, then please bring that in. The ORAN compatibility, that's already something that's happening in the test suite right now, the CNF test suite. And if there's areas that you're seeing like that for future, it's going to become more important and just bring it up. Okay, so a little bit about what we have now. This is definitely a broad area, so I'm not going to try to cover everything. There's going to be some things that we want to keep and then some things that we may say are not aligned. Maybe we're going to keep them, but there should be part of some other area. Elephant is huge. There's a lot of different initiatives happening. So we're really talking the cloud-native networking focus. The certification and test suite, they're working. We also have a lot of material in the Anakit project. The CNF working group, if you're not familiar with it, it has best practices, a lot of content. There, there's a white paper that was published, just a poll request for it on Friday, just this past Friday, and it's actually a follow-up for the NGMN cloud-native manifesto. So there's a lot of material that we can build on right now, and then of course if you know of something else, bring it up. All right, so I already said this, but if you want to get certified, it works right now. Please just try the test suite out. It's supposed to be, it is designed to be a useful tool. If you're creating network functions, if you're onboarding them, testing them, it's designed to run in pipelines. We're going to keep running these community meetings tomorrow. We have this alignment workshop. I think we can dig into some of the tools. We have a bunch of topics already listed. If you want to join, there is a limit for in-person. It's actually pretty low. It's only 20, but we are doing a live stream so you can connect remotely. If you want to come in person, scan it, get on the list. Maybe we can get a few more and we'll see, but please join. All right, so I think for the rest of our time here, we'll just have a couple of minutes, but Q and A, so any questions? Do you want to go give Gerge? Hi, Gerge from Nokia and Anuket TSC co-chair. So my question to this, whatever, the scope is that it seems that Anuket is out of the scope of this activity, but then what we are solving now is that we are moving practically the fragmentation only and we are not solving the fragmentation. So it should be somehow we should merge these two activities. What do you think about that? Yeah, and I think there's so much going on that it's hard to communicate all of it, but yes, we are wanting to merge the activities. What we don't want to say is it's all merging into Anuket or Anuket's all merging into here. I think what we're going to have is some pieces that we know are working right now that we want to continue and some parts that we may not. Probably the easiest to think is there's parts of Anuket that are going to be, whether we keep the names, I don't want to think about name changes. I think we will have Anuket as part of the cloud native networking, parts of it, just like we're going to have parts of what came from CNCF. So that will continue. What, Anuket's huge so I don't know what all we're going to keep and that's not something we're going to decide in one or two meetings. Yeah, maybe some, some addition to that. Anuket also has OpenStack-related documents and we are publishing a couple of documents to GSMA. So we have some dependencies what we should consider also. So there, it may end up, and this is to be considered in discussion within I think the community and you know the different aspects of this, but potentially the some of the OpenStack and other pieces would continue as its own effort separate from this or maybe a subset. I think that's undecided. Yeah, I think the guideline is to serve best our end users and we need to figure out together and this workshop tomorrow is part of it what makes the most sense. So let's try to kind of think about our customers and figure out, I don't have the answer of what parts of Anuket will go where and we really appreciate the opinion of Anuket leadership on what they think would work best and again we are all in it together to serve whoever is building, deploying, testing and operating CNFs. I think one other aspect to think what this probably motivation a little bit but there's been an effort to maybe take on too much. It's all going to be solved and you're going to be able to be compliant with every single thing even when it's conflicting. Just don't look that it's conflicting. So we're trying to see if maybe we can shrink down the focus potentially to have here's what we know is going to work well together. When you go and this is also we're thinking it upstream. So if we look at something like Silva, well Silva is also thinking about European specific regulations and then there's other requirements. But if we say we're an upstream resource for Silva and other projects then we should be more compatible with what they're wanting and then they can build from it. Any other questions? Kind of two. One is very quick, the QR code for the that was gone very quick to form. And the other thing is, is there any effort like going on between the Kamara project and this because one of the things if you take the telco industry from like a high view it doesn't necessarily resonate very well with developers and usually that's the last thing on the conversation. And if Kamara is trying to that you have this kind of network exposed functions or APIs that work across all the telco vendors and it's particularly the ISPs behind the telco vendors and then you have the certification process. Are you building any bridges to have some like requirements there to pull this whole you know cloud native kind of adoption. And like more specifically like if you think the customer profile on that side or the kind of end user experience is that you know there's this interoperability where app developers and everything can build properly on top of telco networks. Not just the basic you know SIM card plan where you have data know that but actually utilizing the cloud native functions that you're like pushing here inside this kind of telco movement but actually showing them that this is going to generate more revenue. Thanks. Yeah Rene probably has some on that too but I think what you're talking about with tie right in at the higher foundational level so declarative APIs and declarative configuration is a core tenant and what you're talking about with the APIs would be part of that and I know like Dish networks they've been pushing for having APIs where everybody can integrate and there's other service providers that are doing similar things. So that's definitely in the foundational side as far as like Camara specific I would say that would be future but anyone that is involved in any of these projects should try to help contribute upstream so that we build something that's going to be aligned and compatible going forward. Yeah just to complete that we kind of try to flesh out our kind of crawl walk run approach and starting with some basic things but definitely we're open and I think we fleshed out Camara as one of the projects we intend to support in the future but as Tyler said it's an open source community effort so we need people to work on that and if people see value in creating test suites and certification for Camara the project under that program they're more than welcome to join and start working on that. I think we're over on time now that's all right we had a good buffer anyway so if you have more questions you know please join this and you feel free to reach out to us we definitely want everyone to be part of this new effort thank you


Well, I told you guys there was gonna be more information coming out from Age of Calamity's leak. I said that earlier today in my last video and the information that has come out now is, well, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler. I'm warning you guys right now, this entire video is spoiler-rific. If you couldn't get that from the title, if you're still watching anyways, you have no one to blame but yourself for having this be spoiled to you. Also, I need to address a point from my prior video. So the people were all, oh man, you really, Breath of the Wild is your favorite game and you, of all time, and you didn't even know who these one characters were. Of course I know who the descendants are, guys. When I was editing the video, I literally face-palmed at myself for not recognizing Riju, for not recognizing Thera, for not recognizing Yonah Kakaoka, blah blah blah, but I can't even say the guy's name, that go-round guy, right? Obviously these are all the other additional, you know, not descendants per se, but like new lead characters for their groups after the champions, you know, just like Siden is for Mipha. So again, I get it. I understand it was an embarrassing flub, but you know what? I'm only human. We all make mistakes. I have played the hell out of Breath of the Wild hundreds of hours into that game, but guess what? I haven't played it in three years. So I mean, that lets you know how important I feel those characters actually are to the story. They're just not that important. Those real stories about the champions, Zelda, Link, and you know, the Great Calamity. Anyways, I don't want to get into that. Let's get into the rest of the actual stuff here. Story, warning, galore. I'm not going to show you any of the cutscenes, but we are gonna talk about the cutscenes. We are gonna talk about the story. We're gonna talk about story from beginning to end, but we are not going to talk about the cutscenes in particular, specific ones, how many there are. This comes from Zavian over on Reset Era, who watched all the cutscenes, so he claims. And the Nintendo lie? Is this not a prequel? Let's get into this. Zavian says, honestly, I think it's because Nintendo just couldn't bring themselves to make a Zelda game, that is Link ending up dead at the end. To be fair, Link doesn't technically die. He gets put into the pool of resurrection, so he's not actually dead. That's a point of contention to what he's saying, because again, Link doesn't die. Link fails when he doesn't die. Anyways, having watched all the cutscenes now, I can definitively say there's no way Aja Calamity is the actual backstory of Breath of the Wild. The champions survive. The Breath of the Wild characters travel back in time to help them. Link doesn't die. And Zelda never goes to the Lost Woods to deposit the Master Sword with the Great Deku Tree for safekeeping. No one-on-one Zelda vs. Ganon fight.  This is not Breath of the Wild's backstory in any way, shape, or form. I actually think Nintendo is guilty of lying to us. The actual content of Aja Calamity is very far removed from what we were told it would be when it was revealed. The only way Aja Calamity could still end up being Breath of the Wild's backstory is if all those cutscenes that are missing from the folder right now are of an alternate storyline where the events of Breath of the Wild actually end up do happening, but I don't know if we should expect that. So what he's saying is all the cutscenes that are available in the datamime, you know, because there's a folder that's missing or empty at the moment, there might be a day one update or whatever the case might be, could be that there's branching storylines because Musou games tend to have branching storylines. This might be one particular storyline that isn't real, but then at the same point, why would those be included in the base game and not the actual backstory of Breath of the Wild when it was advertised by Aja and Oma to be a prequel. Now, one thing I think is weird and we've all seen this, this cutscene exists in the demo.  We see this, this is a reminiscent cutscene from Breath of the Wild itself. So that cutscene exists. This is the cutscene that's supposed to immediately lead to Link being taken to the Pool of Resurrection. This cutscene exists at the beginning of Age of Calamity. We know this, it's in the demo. So what is happening with this story? I get that they created some new enemy. I get that they created some new dark, and maybe this darkness, this enemy, this whatever guy comes back and you face off against him in Breath of the Wild 2 along with Ganondorf or something. I have no idea. There's something going to be maybe storytelling content if this is canon, and we've been led to believe all along that Age of Calamity is canon. That is part of the massive excitement for this game. I don't want to believe that Aja and Oma lie to us. I don't want to believe that Nintendo lied to us. I can't fathom that this game isn't canon. So then I'm just left to wonder, okay, if this is the story direction they're going with, and there's obviously some cutscenes missing, that might explain more, I have to wonder, are they just retconning the entire backstory of Breath of the Wild to set up the sequel? Like, do the champions come back to life in the second game? I mean there was no time travel in Breath of the Wild, and suddenly there's time travel in this game. So, like, is Breath of the Wild taking place in an alternate universe? What is happening right now? The speculation is going to run wild at this point. If you want to find the cutscenes, folks, you can find them. I'll just tell you where they are. 4chan. I'm not going to tell you where to find them on 4chan. I'm not going to link directly to the leaks. They exist. I've witnessed them earlier today. I literally saw for a half second turned it off, because I want to experience the cutscenes for myself. Yes, I know we just went over the big story spoilers. All that jazz. That's great. I don't want Nintendo copyright claiming my channel by tossing out the actual video footage, but we could talk about it because the information exists. It's out there. People have seen it. People are talking about it. Some people are really disappointed, and you might be really disappointed too. I have no idea. All I know is this sounds strange. Doesn't sound like what was promised to us, but caveat being, there's missing files, there's missing cutscenes. Might explain more of it. I have no idea. Maybe this is the fight before the fight. You know, maybe they take out this person, and then after the champions die, and then after. Maybe there's this big long cutscene that's being added at the end of the day that you don't even experience in the game. It's just kind of an organic cutscene. I have no idea. We don't know. Maybe, and this happens with Muso games, the real backstory will be added as a $20 DLC.  So, I'm just throwing out there. It's possible the story's not done, and they're going to drag this out with DLC packs up until the release of Breath of the Wild 2. That's another potential possibility here, where this is the beginning of the journey, rather than the end. So, we'll have to see what happens. Obviously, the champions and Link are really, really close, and we know this in Breath of the Wild, so they must have adventured a little bit together. Maybe this is some adventures they went on before the big calamity. I have no idea, because it's weird, because the game starts off by talking about the calamity. So, I don't know. This is crazy. This is strange. I don't know what the hell is happening, but hey, we'll see when the game comes out. And you know what? Potentially, this user is lying. We gotta throw that out there.  But then again, some of the references are things that I saw when I glanced at some of the cutscene videos. Just glance. I'm like, oh boy, I don't want to see anymore. So, I don't think they're lying. I think there's an incomplete picture here, but hey, you guys can go down in the comments now and discuss it, and figure it out for yourselves. And again, apologies again for my earlier flub. Take away my gamer cred, whatever you feel like you need to do to make yourself feel better at the end of the day. I am the Tanner Robo-Jance from Nintendo Prime, and Agent Calamity comes out this Friday. Catch you guys in the next video.


What it do?  Oh, oh, oh, so I'm talking my camera Drive 45 minutes to my apartment and back to get my cleats. So I better be able to kick field goals today All right, let's go. Let's go ladies going back to the old high school football field. I'm excited.  She just does whatever look at that look a girl All right, baby. It's your turn my fucker It's okay five minutes and we're to the park I'm genuinely so intrigued as the house is gonna go. Let's pop this puppy. It might be better with not on the car though. Hey, bro Oh Yes, sir, it's been a good two years since I've been here do it. Let's let's get this shmoney boy. Oh Yeah, she's hey the Panthers, baby a kind of kind of kind of kind of says that I Can't do this. I might just have to pretend I didn't see that. It's kind of unfortunate All right, so the field is completely chain locked shut now the feds they can't stop me But they can't stop the dogs because I can't exactly get the dogs to hop the fence So I might take the dogs home head back up and if I go to prison I go to prison.  I'll get you guys I Wish so badly that my wiener was larger than three inches so badly.  Yeah, in fact something y'all definitely didn't know about me was I was an all-state hurtler It's also an all-state pole valter But I think you guys knew that because I posted about that before but I got a one of my legs anyway So I'm gonna blow these puppies out. I'm just gonna give this a full speed run and if I make for myself Still got it. Let's go. I'm so gassed from that. I'm way more tired than I should be for that Oh, I'm not gonna lie. This feels so good. I had a such a good time at MSU and I loved it I really miss sports though I mean you guys know I would have gone to the NBA if I didn't blow out my knee Me and slightly acts both, bro. We both in a league by now.  I feel so good today One thing I know you guys haven't seen me do is kick off So I might try it's gonna be tough to measure because there's no lines on this field right now I'm just gonna call every field goal. I kick a 50.      Okay, so this will help me a little bit. This is a high school PAT right here 20 yards snap from the 3 on the 10 Yeah, this right here is a 20-yard field goal where you kick the ball from on the field add at 10 yards to that spot Okay, so if the kicker is kicking the ball on the 35 that means it's a 45-yard field because you add the 10 yards for The end zone. It's a little science lesson for you guys. I don't get those comments today Hi, this should be really easy. I should not struggle with this. I'm gonna pin. I feel like way too good right now I'm gonna bomb tonight. I'm just gonna hit these. Let's do it. Let's tip this back a little bit You see how high this puppy goes I'm going to yard back from that divot. I don't want to kick in the divot. Let's put you right Here. Okay, so first field we're gonna ball contact just connecting my Foot with the proper spot on the ball form and steps.  All right. I've got a decent idea of how I'm gonna measure. Sorry. They won the Suns directly straight in the sky It's impossible film. I also want to apologize. I am a one-man army I'm out here by myself partially because quarantine partially because I really hate asking people to help me film stuff But actually I'm trying to figure out what a 50-yard field goes So this was the Panther logo you I don't know if you guys can see what I'm seeing my eyeballs see it really well But it's kind of like blue tinted a little bit. This was the 50 right in the middle of that big Oh, you gotta love a big old these so it's really more like right here So if I go 10 yards this way that would be the 40-yard line, which would be a 50-yard field go that way I'm gonna go 10, but I believe his yards in it's not gonna be perfect.   Got a big win too Hey ball, see ya. Here in Hernandez, gone forever You see how far that ball went that was literally a 60-yard field goal And I was I'm kicking a 55 right now. This is a 55-yard field I'm gonna pin this 55 so hard that there's no discrepancy. I'm gonna put a 1 in and I'm okay 55 that literally beats my personal best from last video. We're kicking a 60 today Gonna go a few more from 55 and I'm gonna make this tick tock to the important stuff I'm losing it up time. I need some cleaner kicks at 55 and then I'm gonna go back to 60 Quite literally my legs are like starting to hurt really bad. I'm gonna try one at 60 I just gotta get one final good kick in bomb it get a little wind help and I can say I did it All right, we're on the dead center of the middle of the field I know that the panther logo which you can kind of see is faded is on the 50 So this is either the 50 or it's the 49 on either side So this even could be further. Hey, what do you like? What do you want? What do you want me to get out a ruler and a measure? Come on I'd say I got about three left in me before I'm down. I got it. I got a dial in Hello. Yes, I'm dialed in sure it's coming off for this one day two 10 yards short Day three listen, I know this doesn't count But if you ever just want to bomb one from deep just get the kickoff tee out and watch Mom's away kick the 60-yard vehicle video's over Damn that kickoff felt actually good though. I'm gonna be honest. I'm not count obviously I'm not counting that as 60 right now. I hit a 55. I kind of want to keep doing these videos So if you guys know anything about kicking you really cannot kick more than like 30 footballs a day Your legs will actually give out NFL kickers. They kicked like 20 30 balls two days before and then they don't kick the day before This was actually such an awesome video if you guys want to see more stuff like this I'll gladly do it. Sorry my shirt's off. I know it's kind of douchey. I know you don't want to see that But whatever. Yeah, if you want to see more let me know I think I'm going to keep coming out to the field and grinding so long as the weather permits God, I appreciate you watching. Thanks for watching as always. I love you. You're stunned clap of thoughts cheeks Oh within my word to you clap of thoughts cheeks within the next three weeks All right, thoughts are quarantine horny right now, bro. It should honestly be kind of easy But rest of luck boys. I love you. Peace out I'm literally finishing as some dude is rolling up to check on the field Bruh, let's go


Good morning, Senator. My name is Brianna Black. I am a Sporec State Ambassador from Marshall County and Today I would like to ask you a few questions. Senator. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing well. Good morning to you. How are you? I'm doing all right. Thank you. Good. So the first question is can you please describe me a typical day as a senator? I Can that that day depends on whether or not we're in session or not? we we go in session every year for a total of 30 legislative days, but that can be a little confusing because We that typically lasts about three months We go into session on Tuesdays and Thursdays actual or actual session days where we Vote on bills as a as a as a legislative body and then Thursday or excuse me Wednesdays our committee days That's the days that We have our committee work and in each senator serves on about about six comedies we In the in the past last session I served on pin and we we've worked ourselves death. I I thought it was good for our district to serve on more comedies, but it definitely wasn't good Good for me Some comedies overlapped and I found myself me having to miss some and I just if you're gonna serve on Anything I think that you should you should be the active on it We we kind of changed the rules this time and limited each senator to six comedies Yeah, and so That's that's been much much better and I'm able to focus more on on on those individual comedies So so those days are committee days are still very busy You know in and amongst all your meetings you still have constituents that come to visit and You know Really, I think it's important to make time for them if they if they you've made the trip to Montgomery Then then they should they should have access to their their senator and then and you know a lot of a lot of meetings because you're you know, you're dealing with deals that involve a lot of different groups and that affect a lot of different groups and so you Try to build consensus and so there's a lot of meetings with a lot of different groups and individuals in the meantime, so And then on on you know preparing for sessions, you know reading the bills some of us actually read the bills and so You know those, you know, there's a lot of preparation at night time after dinner Back at the hotel that you have to prepare for the bills that may be in committee the next day or or that will be voted on by by the body and so So session time is is a very very busy time when when we're out of session a Typical day, you know, I I farm I have chicken houses and cattle and so You know, that's that's what pays the bills You know like give you an example of this morning. I was at armist six and and Made it back keep you got as much done. I could I didn't complete everything I needed to do but got back showered and changed and People appreciate that after you've been in the chicken house And then and then back at the office for a day of meetings Typically pretty busy, but I've always always worked hard. I grew up on the farm and and You know, I think one of the the best gifts That my family gave me other than being a Christian Was is a good work ethic and I enjoy I enjoy hard work. So that's a typical day Thank you. Um, the second question. What is the best thing about your job? There's no question. I I really enjoy helping people I'm boy, I Like to work on big projects I've you know, some of the some of the things that I've done Is really worked with the state parks to improve state parks or around the state Came up with and sponsored amendment to which was on the ballot Several years ago that that basically says that if you spend money in the state parks Then that money stays in the state parks. The legislature had been Taking money from the parks for a while because they generate dollars And so the part that kind of led to the decline of the parks. They had they weren't able to to upgrade things and You know do things to bring in more tourists and increase revenue The thing that I've really been focused on now is rural broadband. I've spearheaded the efforts on rural broadband and That has been a labor of seven years now And I literally started with With with begging people to listen to me on the issue and now it's you know One of the biggest issues and a hot topic that we're dealing with especially with the the the COVID Yeah, so so it's Knowing seeing The fruits of your labor being enacted that that impact the state of Alabama and a lot of people at that Is is is one of my favorite things. I you know, I really try to focus on economic development You know, I believe that a lot of problems are solved for people if they have a job and they have income coming in and so You know really focus on making the state And especially our local area more business-friendly through through policy through infrastructure So that we can we can recruit more jobs here And so that hopefully younger people will have more opportunities to stay in areas like ours and stay in the state of Alabama not not have to leave and go to Atlanta and and and in New York in places like that and so I Love seeing Love seeing new opportunities being created for for people throughout the state, which ultimately Will help them for generations to come so that's that's my favorite thing. It's this the most rewarding All right, um third question. What drew you to want to become a senator? Well, I was I Was 29 years old which for a lot of foragers probably seems pretty you know pretty old but It it definitely was and I was the youngest member of the Alabama Senate for Two full terms now. There's a person that's a month younger than me. So I don't have that distinction anymore but I was 29 years old when I decided to really and I Just didn't like the way that our state was headed I thought that we were lagging and lacking in a lot of areas You know, I had been out of Auburn for only, you know Seven years at the time and and you know, I had I had seen my classmates have to leave the state to get to get jobs and And I Refused to believe that Alabama Is not a great place to live That had had the same opportunities that that the other states that they were leaving had or leaving to had and I Guess I just I just had enough of it. I think when Really what kind of in I think inflamed me the most was in 2006 the legislature gave themselves a 63% pay raise Which we I'm proud to say repealed that But that's kind of what got me Interested and and really started to pay attention And and over time, you know over the next really I guess three years I paid a lot of attention And saw how Far behind we were in education with our math scores and reading scores That we continued to go into proration in education and why that was and You know why our our infrastructure was was not in the the shape that that other states were and so And then you saw, you know as far as as far as ethics and things like that how Alabama was lacking in ethics laws You know, and so so I just I just decided I was gonna put my name in the hat and and And move that work ethic into into a campaign and And why and It was a it was a One of the hardest things I've ever done it was 11 months of just talking to people and and you know Just yeah, I went door-to-door. I knocked on I don't know how many doors and and I'd put put a lot of my own money in It I could get people to vote for me at 29, but I couldn't give them get them to donate money Yeah, that was that was much more difficult. I think a lot of people thought I'm gonna vote for him But I don't know if he's got a chance right and and we we wound up we wound up pulling it off and and It definitely it definitely changed my life I could have Had a you know continue with a quiet life on the farm and and it It's definitely not a quiet life anymore. That's yeah What skills and abilities and personal attributes are essential for success in your field Well, you know, I get back to work ethic I think work ethic is important in any field that you you go into I think the communication is important being able to Communicate with with with people whether it be constituents or Whether it be other other colleagues other senators that you you need to communicate your ideas and your thoughts to I think That your your ability to work with people and and you know One thing you don't see a lot of on the national level is compromise. I think you're you're One of the problems that we have right now in this country, especially in Washington is people are not willing to compromise and and that is a That is an A disease not unlike COVID I believe I'm proud to say that I think the Alabama Senate is Very good at compromise. We work very well together From both sides of the aisle There are obviously some areas that that we're too far apart and we can't compromise on but there are a lot of areas the vast majority of That aren't very partisan Education for instance Is is Something that that a lot of people work work together on for the same end But I think that that those things probably the most important Important things I think a strong character your You know morals and and and and you know things like that I think are extremely important They're probably the most important. We don't want to send a bunch crooks To be in in an office that's right, that's that's bid us a lot of times and so You know luckily with our ethics laws you today that we have reformed You you probably get caught So if you've got any Any thoughts about getting in there and coming up with wealthier because of the job you probably don't need to do What are some of your main responsibilities as a senator well Being Responsive really I got the the interesting thing about it is Constitutionally The the only thing that that a senator or representative has to do In the state of Alabama is pass a balanced budget Yeah Constitutionally that is the only thing that we we have But but but definitely being responsive to constituents You know answering we we answer a lot of questions here that that the legislative office in my office in Montgomery that constituents have concerning legislation or concerning Concerning anything we even tell people where certain buildings are that they need to go to For assistance You need to be able to help people, you know, we we help a tremendous amount of people We have especially here at our office in Gunas where we've helped a lot of people with unemployment through through cove it a lot of people and and other issues You know to to See things, you know another another very important responsibility is to be creative and see See things that the state or our area is lacking and And and try to resolve those and fix those such as rural broadband and and you know bring bring people together that that That had the resources to try to try to fix that So those are those are those are typically I would say You know my my responsibilities that that I have and and focus on on on You know daily basis Yeah So what was your very first job before becoming a senator a farmer? I've always farmed you know we I graduated Auburn in 2003 and I majored in agricultural business and economics. I was at the great fortune of being a third generation Auburn agriculture grad my my grandpa finished in 1947 When it was still called Alabama polytechnic it's to He was a agriculture major He was ag ed. He never he never Well, he I say never taught he never taught in school He actually taught the GIs when they came back from World War two often poultry science and And my dad finished in general agriculture in 1977 from Auburn and then Then I you know finished in ag econ and I came home in 2003 immediately after graduation And helped my family on the time pilgrims or well goal-kissed. It's time to ask for pride They weren't allowed or they weren't letting any contracts to build chicken houses at the time. So We waited patiently. I was the first on the list Lee We waited I waited patiently and and worked for a couple of years My take home pay was college degree after taxes was $237 and 87 cents a week. Wow doing really hard labor. We were clearing land at the time and We bought a sawmill a portable sawmill and it was it was it was not there were a lot of days there were a lot of days that I Would think you know, you've got a you've got a college degree And you're doing this That's where I learned patience Yeah and so and humility Definitely learned humility I'm very I'm very thankful for those Few years before I was able to build my first set of chicken houses Finally in 2005 got a contract to build chicken houses got built four chicken houses By the end of the year I bought four more from my uncle Then a few years later, I started a a contracting company that we focused on hydroceeding and erosion control Practices and then Ran all that until until I became a candidate and then I sold my Contracting company because I I couldn't do it all I knew I needed to focus my time on serving the people that That I served so So that that was my first first job, and I'm I'm still still doing I've all I've done farm. Yeah contractor in state center Yeah What was your major in college it was agricultural business economics and it was a it was a great major because I I learned a lot of you know business Business practices learned economics always enjoyed economics and which serves me very well In the in the in the state Senate very well and indeed And then and then agriculture so it was a great mix Of Things that you know, I still use today and the College of Ag You know it they our professors really challenged us there You know, I you know not not downing the College of Business, but I had a lot of courses in in More called louder hall at the time the business building it was all multiple choice tests and In the College of Ag it was short answer That's a type test on all, you know a lot of a lot of my classes Which is you know, we're are more difficult Then then multiple choice. Well, I guess it depends on the best, but But they really challenged us And the interesting thing about it when I graduated The You know, there they're A lot of companies weren't weren't hiring, you know students were we're having trouble finding jobs in their fields, but Ag economics at that time had a 100% hiring rate. It was it was very interesting So I didn't know anyone that didn't have a job immediately upon graduation So I enjoyed that major and I'd encourage folks to look into that major. It's a very it's a very well-rounded major Yeah If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same path for yourself? And if not, what would you change? No question. I would it's it's been very rewarding being able to help Help folks that we failed to to be able to see, you know, as I said earlier Your work being enacted And and and see see the economy prove and see things that you know Well, I voted on this bill I fought hard for this bill and now we're able to see See the rewards of it for instance the always tell people the rolling reserve budget act that I campaigned on that bill and They've been trying to pass that bill for years and it kept dying It changed the way that we budget in Alabama It it it forced us to budget off an average of what revenues were instead of just guessing what they were and then it forced us to put money into a reserve account and Since we've passed that the state hasn't gone into proration and at your age That's probably foreign. You probably don't know what proration was. What would happen?  They'd say we're not gonna hit those target numbers So they would cut the schools.  It wasn't definitely wasn't good for students So to see that so that they view it hurt. Have you heard Master that makes it worthwhile That's why I wouldn't change a thing. That's why I wouldn't I wouldn't take it back That's something I always dealt with we dealt with in my age a lot And you know your age doesn't have to deal with things like that. That's what makes it worthwhile Yeah, I wouldn't change a thing and there's been a lot that you have to sacrifice in this job There's a lot of sacrifice, you know, you don't make much money your opportunity costs are different while You know instead of being on my farm. I'm having to you know, be in Montgomery and focus on that and Because I'm gone I have to hire people to be there and so my life costs go up and So so there there is a sacrifice and that's okay It's my choice to do that and I think I think public service should be a sacrifice And so, you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't change a thing Last question, what advice would you give to you interested in your job? You know really You know study hard You know know what the job entails talk to some of us that are that are in it Don't get discouraged Don't let anyone tell you that you're too young or inexperienced Because I heard that You know one thing that I did before I even became a candidate is I actually studied I I Searched online and in a red and understood how we budget while we budget You know what the structure of state government? I wanted to know that I had the propensity to do the job before I Or I did it. I Wanted to to to know what the time situation was the financial situation was could I afford to do it? and so You know, just know study and know know what you are doing know what you are getting yourself into I have seen I have seen people who run Who get an office for four years and and because of finances or personal issues? They only serve one term And you really can't get a whole lot done in one term it takes seniority to really get the relationships built who you know, you know an understanding of of of how the process works and and in just general knowledge of state government and so You know make sure that make sure that you can you can do the job and and that that you're gonna do You're gonna do a good job at it You know get involved in your community Join civic group join You know You know get involved in in leadership positions in your church and and and you know figure out if you Figure out if you you are a leader and if you are develop your leadership skill develop your interpersonal skills working with people and and See if you have the temperament for it, you know, you need to be patient you need to You know, I Always mentioned that the freshman get elected to You know Leave your you come in the state house leave your emotions at the door when we're here to conduct business with the forum and To get in the shouting matches with people and and and be offended by certain, you know Disagreements with someone or because someone's district is different or looks different than yours It's it's not the place to do it and we can do battle on the Senate floor I'm gonna fight for my district and my colleague if the next microphone is gonna fight for his or her district and But when we when we leave that chamber we can leave his friends and and that is a policy that that I have and So, you know I'd say those those of the areas that that I would focus on make sure you can do it Make sure you have the temperament Yeah, oh, thank you so much senator


We are going to talk about health and healthy food. It is very necessary for the maintenance of the body energies to maintain the different activities involved in learning and mental activity. There are five groups like fruit and vegetable and we will see like vitamins or antioxidant component and also related with fiber and the last is water. These are the five ingredients those are very vital and important for the nourishment growth and development of the child. If we see overall these are protectively very productive for in combating with the diseases. If the body is strong having full component of the nutrients, the body is more prone, more active to combate with the disease and it is very easy to control the disease and if we use medicine then it is also very easy to get it.

There are foods like low glycemic index like pasta and whole grain and also bread these are also very helpful and helpful for the maintaining of the different energies and we can see that these things are also helpful for the kids and for the pre-schoolers. Those are doing more activities in the school also they are having activities in the home like situation. Thank you very much for being a good listener.


Hi guys, how are we doing? In this video today, what I want to take you through is how to restore Maya to the factory default settings So like having it when you first installed it And the reason I decided to make this video it was I was helping out One of my subscribers Northwest 24 this week and he sent me his File to look out and I helped him out with that But as I was emailing him afterwards. He said that he didn't think Maya was behaving Properly, and he wasn't sure why that was Now when you are new to Maya It's very possible that you will accidentally change a setting or some settings without meaning to there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts Or mouse shortcuts that you can hit without realising and that can cause Maya to do things that you don't expect him But because you've accidentally changed the settings you don't really know what to change back And that's where the problem then lies So what I'm going to show you today is how to put Maya back to factory settings as if it's a fresh install Without having to uninstall it and reinstall it so that you can wipe away any sort of bad settings that you might have put in So to demonstrate that This is just an empty instance of Maya Nothing in the scene But it is at the moment at default You can see I've still got this little green brekkety thing here telling me that this is new because I've just Tested what I'm about to show you So this is currently working at the fault So I'll show you one of the things that people tend to do when I'm teaching is instead of pressing alt and one of the Mouse buttons to move around as I'm doing here They'll accidentally hit space bar and they'll go to move around So they might accidentally click over here and that might then lead to them starting to Take some settings off So maybe it gets rid of that or brings that up or so let's turn some things off. We'll turn off the time slider We'll get rid of the helpline. We'll get rid of Command line I'll turn off the shelves as well So if you imagine I'm a new user to Maya I don't know how I've turned these things off and they are very very simple to turn on I'm just showing you this because it's a simple way of showing you that I've restored it to defaults in a minute But let's imagine that you don't know what you change. You don't know how to change your back So you're like, oh no, it's all wrong. So how do we change it back? Dead easy. So let's imagine that my my is broken. I don't know what I've changed I want to put it back. So the first thing I need to do close Maya Okay Now to do a reset of the factory settings, right? So I don't do it from within Maya what you need to do is Go to your documents folder on your PC You'll there see a Maya folder So you need to go in there and then for whichever version you're using you can see I've got multiple versions installed I'm currently using 2015. So I go in there and within that folder. There's a prefs folder Now it's within that folder there that I've got highlighted That all of the settings for the application are held So if you change any settings The information on that change is held within that folder So the way that you get it to restore in that folder is you hit delete. There you go. That folder's gone And so now there are no settings. So that means that when you now reopen Maya like so And it asks you Well, it depends if you've got a previous version installed in my case It's asking me do I want to copy the preferences from Maya 2013 or shall I create the default preferences? because I want to make sure it's back to Standard settings. I'm gonna tell it to create default preferences and once I tell it to do that and it opens You'll see that all my views and panels are exactly as they were at the beginning of this video before I intentionally broke anything So if I go full screen again, there she is looking beautiful. So This can turn out to be a lifesaver if you've just got a problem You cannot figure out what you've done Sometimes the easiest way is to just bulldoze the whole setting start from scratch And you know that it's clean and it can be a really sort of important stage in troubleshooting I've used this often and it's saved me hours I have now got to a stage where I can fix most of the problems I create Because I'm in getting sort of to the stage where I understand where I broke it But there are still some things that catch me out and I'll just reset it Right. I hope that's been a lifesaver for you if it has Hit the thumbs up button. Come on help a brother out and Good thing that you could also do on top of that. Let's build on this love hit the subscribe button Okay, I'm coming up on 2,000 subscribers. I want 2,000 subscribers.

I just want to start the video by saying I have merch and I never really talk about my merch But I'd appreciate it if you wanted to buy a t-shirt I have a ton of different designs and there's a limited time Sorry, Jerry t-shirt that I think just looks great The artist did a fantastic job with it and it's funny And if you don't get the joke then you didn't watch the video So go and watch the video so that you get the joke and then maybe you'll want to buy the t-shirt and it helps Support the channel. Thank you. Bye or not bye. Bye. I am so excited I haven't made one of these in months. If you haven't seen one before It's where I dive into the e-shop and find 10 Amazing games and then compile them all into one big mega review for you to watch It saves you having to dive in yourself and sift through all the crap that gets released every day It also helps you not miss the games that released three weeks ago That are actually pretty good But they got buried by a bunch of shovelware and weird mobile games. I've done 20 something of these videos now. I can never remember but with 10 games in each one We have reviewed over 200 games in this series alone on the channel And I'm very excited to add another 10 games today because it's been so long since I've done one I actually had a lot of games to choose from and I feel really good about every single game on this list And I hope you find something or multiple some things that you'll want to go and play after the video You just want to see some games, right? So let's get started like the video subscribe if you're new and just have a good time. Um, I'm annoyed in fact I'm a little bit upset that nobody seems to be talking about little wood And I don't mean me covered in tattoos on my second channel. That's little wood. We don't talk about him anymore I mean little wood, which isn't like a little version of me or Get your mind out of the gutter no little wood the game obviously It's an adorably relaxing RPG that mixes elements of stardew valley and animal crossing into something a lot more streamlined Your story begins at the end of the story where the main protagonist has just saved the world from an unspeakable evil Not that they can remember any of it due to their amnesia But now it's your job to care for and rebuild the town of little wood You'll meet other townsfolk along the way and you can attempt to convince them into staying in your town The more people you meet and the deeper the relationships you build maybe you can unlock some of those forgotten memories of the past You can explore enchanted forests fishing towns mining caves Harvesting materials by chopping wood mining ores catching bugs fishing building structures like taverns or a lumber mill completing quests Taking townfolk requests to unlock new relationship paths It's all here even skill levels and date nights other than the quirky characters Charming story addictive gameplay loop and how much time I spend fishing the thing that really stands out in little wood for me Is the town management you can build it however you want But the villagers will have their own requests and ideal living situations like one might want to live next to his friend But the friend might want to live next to the coffee shop relatable So then it becomes a puzzle game in itself trying to figure out the best way to piece everything together in your town and keep Everyone happy oh and when I said the game is streamlined I really mean that you can move and change anything you want whenever just by entering the creator mode no forking out Thousands of bells to a stupid raccoon and then having to wait a day for him to get off his butt and actually do something before you Can do the next thing you just and you're done also if you want to cut down a tree go fishing or mine some Or just walk up to any of that and press one simple button and the game will know exactly what you're trying to do Without you having to go through a clunky inventory system making sure you have the right tool for the job It's how easy it is to play this game that makes it so hard to stop playing this game I know you're watching a video right now, and I really appreciate it, but I need to show you this I got a brand new microphone, and it sounds Amazing trust me you plug in your Raycons right now and listen to the sound coming from you You don't have Raycons Well, that's your lucky day Raycon is upsetting the electronics industry big time by offering these premium wireless earbuds for half the price without Compromising audio quality.

Thank you Raycon for sponsoring the video. Let's get back to it My channel name is beat em ups, right? Well, not so fun actually so boring. I might need to go pee due to bored In fact, I don't really like beat them ups that much. It's a long story Don't ask but Scott Pilgrim verse the world the game has always been the exception to that rule as this is in my Opinion the greatest beat em up of all time Imagine my disappointment waking up one morning and finding that it's v gone from the Xbox live online marketplace And I couldn't play it anymore, but all these years later Thankfully the Nintendo switch and other places saved this game and re-released it and I have to say I'm in less But love I'm in love once again to start visually the game as a masterpiece with a Beautifully animated and vibrant pixel art style that represents the original graphic novel art style perfectly cute characters and Wonderful world design. It's fantastic. Next the music. Oh my lord It's like the best part Scott Pilgrim is synonymous with its music So of course the game is pumped for love incredible pop rock chiptune beats composed by the band Anamana Gucci the entire soundtrack is just perfect catchy It'll get stuck in your head for weeks and it even topped billboard charts after it released as for the gameplay on the Surface it appears as a standard punch-and-kick beat em up But it has so many extra layers the further into the game you play around the levels You can enter storefronts and purchase food or items these can heal you or be equipped to you boosting your attack in defense stats adding An RPG-esque element into the mix which is Crucial as the difficulty level ramps up quick becoming almost Insufferable early on unless you really utilize all the upgrades available to you So make sure to get collected all those coins the enemy spit out once they explode Cuz you're gonna need them if you plan on making it to each one of the evil ex-boyfriend boss battles Just don't go spending too many coins buying up all the bread bread makes you fat bread makes you fat Look, I don't got all day right. We all have places to be we all have loved ones to hang out with and if you don't then We don't have all day And I got a lot to say about a lot of the games on the list So I'm gonna keep Doom Eternal pretty short.  You know It's good. I still don't know how they crammed either of these doom games onto the console with how fast-paced and furious they are You would think the switch would just implode and then Explode in that order if you even put a doom disk near it But nah, it plays great with little to no compromising other than some lower frame rates and blurrier visuals It's actually kind of funny that doom eternal even qualifies for this video because my own little personal rule is that these games have To be digital only with no physical release and while the first doom got a physical release I guess Bethesda decided it wasn't worth doing this time around which is a shame because the game is really fun Well, who cares next two years ago. I made an awful video. Please don't go watch it. It was bad But it was about upcoming indie games that I was really excited for that were coming to the switch And one of those games was Monster Sanctuary that day has finally come and I get to review it now It's like full circle. I also played it on Twitch So you might have already seen me play Monster Sanctuary is what would happen if you put Pokemon and Metroid into a room And just shoved a ton of wheat down their throats. Sorry. I've been playing a lot of Minecraft It's a wonderful mix of both you start the game by picking your familiar And I don't know how you're supposed to choose between all these good boys But once you're done disappointing three of them can begin your adventure you embark on your epic quest using the powers of the Monsters you collect along the way unlocking an ever-expanding Metroidvania inspired world Not only do the monsters aid you in battle But they also expand your reach within the world cutting down vines smashing walls or gliding over gaps depending on your creatures unique Ability each monster also has their own unique skill tree and you can even equip them with items for some reason You can give a bird a sword. I don't know why but you can so there's a lot of customization here with your team What I love is that the turn-based 3v3 battles are activated in real time in the game world And at the end of each battle there's a chance the enemy will drop an egg that you can hatch and of course add it to your Team, but there's also a chance that that monster will be rare You know like Pokemon you're gonna hate me. Maybe I don't know among us That's how long it's been since I made one of these I need to have among us in my series of eShop games worth buying because It is you too for the low low price of five dollars can destroy your closest friendships Even though the online fad of every streamer and content creator ever milking that game for all its worth has Seemingly finally come to an end that doesn't mean the game isn't still a ton of fun to play with friends during weekend game nights It even has cross play between everything even mobile So there really isn't any excuse for everyone not to play and yes That even includes the weird girl quietly looking in the corner that your friend Steve bought to the party stop being Social and come get murdered Suzanne if you still haven't given this game a shot because you hate things at a mainstream It is actually really good I promise the psychology between trying to figure out which one of your friends is a lying or trying to convince them that you yourself Aren't lying is the best part That's why the visuals and the gameplay doesn't really matter at all The actual game part of among us itself is just a means to an end It's just the tool that you are using to enjoy the real game the real game being the lies Unless you have no friends. I mean cuz playing online with Randolph that don't have boys chat just sucks big time, so Ghost runner is a cyberpunk Sorry, it's just got a shiver down my spine ghost runner is a cyberpunk action game similar to mirrors edge where you traverse dangerous environments by dashing jumping wall running and grappling you also have enemies to deal with but you gotta be careful because Both you and them get killed in one hit which is fantastic when you're on a great flow Ripping through the levels dicing up bad guys with your super sharp katana and even using max pain slowdown time ability to dodge and deflect bullets in Midair it's all one incredible feeling until you stub your toe on that one lone bad guy And then you got to try again thankfully the reload time is super quick So you will never be waiting long before trying a new approach, but There's a couple of hang-ups here This doesn't happen often in these videos because these videos are supposed to be e-shop games worth buying and ghost runner is But you're better off buying it anywhere else PC PlayStation Xbox Stadia if it's even on Stadia you name it. You're better off buying it anywhere else The visuals on switch were downgraded so much and I mean so much that it barely even looks like the same game in Places it probably could have used it like a borderland style cell shaded filter thrown over everything to hide its extreme Ugliness yeah as such it actually makes it super hard to see enemies at times hard to see their attacks and movements Which can lead to very frustrating deaths that feel out of your control Also, it's a fast-paced and furious game that deserves to be played above the switches locked 30 FPS If you have no other way to play this game, then the switch port will get the job done And it's a ton of fun. Just make sure that this version is a last resort to play an otherwise Brilliantly fun game. You know what I love most about making these videos is stumbling upon a true hidden gem of a game a game That flies quietly under the radar It's easy to miss and even if you do see it at first glance It might not be what you think it is and lo-fi ping-pong is one of those games It's an aesthetically pleasing rhythm game where every ping and pong is timed with the equally pleasing It's raining outside my window and my cat sleeping next to me while I study on my laptop lo-fi Vibe style beats with that premise in place it once again might be easy to assume that lo-fi ping-pong would be a chill Few minutes a gameplay without much more to offer and once again You'd be mistaken the gameplay is actually brutally difficult as there's almost no indication of when you need to ping that next Pong other than the beat of the music and the window to pong that ping is pretty tight This forces you to fully feel the music to become one with the lo-fi then once you find your groove It'll just be you the music ping pong and ping pong. Yeah I said ping pong twice because the main character's name is also ping pong ping pong Against a casang that has a somewhat dark and sad story that's told throughout the game Which is another pleasant surprise. I did not expect from this one really surprising considering It's only five dollars when I started my experience with Roki. I wasn't really sure what to expect It's a heavily story-driven adventure with a point-and-click style of gameplay that never really felt like a traditional point-and-click Other than the few times I did get pretty stumped on the odd puzzle or two Roki will take you on a journey exploring a living fairy tale meeting both friendly and not so friendly Monsters solving riddles and discovering the secrets of the world and its characters past lives I Adore the art style the cell shaded visuals and lighting effects to its character design Animations everything was so charming and yet creepy the story begins with Tove and her little brother Lars after a great creature Destroys their home They are left out in the cold before Lars goes missing and it's up to his big sister to find him seeking out for Powerful guardians for help and guidance whether they want to help you or not is something you may need to convince them of the forest is full Of magic and mystery with many items scattered around that can help aid you in progressing through the next area or help another Creature with their problems that in turn may help you with yours Roku is a decent length story at about eight hours long But it was one that I didn't want to put down until I'd unlocked all the secrets and solved every puzzle It had a surprise around every corner, and I just I thoroughly enjoyed this one I do love point and clicks in general I'm a sucker for them, but I really like this one cyber shadow can be Considered in many ways a spiritual successor to old-school NES Ninja Gaiden And if right now you're having a stroke because you could swear you've heard me say that before I have about the messenger Which was another game that was inspired by old-school Ninja Gaiden But both of these games took very different approaches to their style and gameplay experiences cyber shadow starts you as a somewhat Traditional Ninja warrior waking up in a futuristic cyberpunk. Whoa Sorry that keeps happening today. I don't Where was I in a futuristic cyberpunk? Well as you play you'll unlock more and more abilities that stack effects on top of themselves and by end game You should have enough cybernetic advancements and upgrades to bring down a world overrun by synthetic lifeforms Which is good because that's what you're supposed to do in traditional old-school fashion The levels can be quite difficult relying on trial and error learning enemy attack patterns and you know Getting good, but it's not a stupidly hard challenge that will have you pulling your hair out from the stress cuphead style But rather a nice challenging challenge where the game design is always adding in a fresh twist on previous levels to keep it Feeling fast-paced and intense. If you like Ninja Gaiden, you'll probably like this. If you liked the messenger You'll probably like this if you like good games You get it saving the best to last maybe saving the most Zelda like to last Yeah, definitely blue fire is all about fast fluid and fun movement that is tight and responsive You can tell that that was their main focus for this title and they nailed it You got wall-running double-jumping mid-air dashing sword slashing chaos where one minute You'll be marathon flipping and gliding around levels and the next you'll be mid giant boss fight trying to time your dodgers and attack Visually, there's something very zeldo win wakey But gone dark side about this one from the shadow link-esque hero to the cartoony Cell-shaded world building and enemies unlike win waker clearly this game is a fast-paced 3d platformer But again like win waker. We also have an open-ish world Dungeons we got dungeons to explore there are two big challenges to face in blue fire The first is not slipping and dying while throwing your body at platforms like they owe your money And the second is how squishy you are during the combat you can only take a couple hits before it's game over So it really comes down to you using the environment and abilities to your advantage in every single battle It's a really rewarding sense of progression as you play and upgrade your abilities like the amount of time you can spend in The air attacking and dashing areas that would be tricky to traverse early game I find myself flying over them by the end of the game zelda and dark souls You know the two games that 80% of games seem to get compared to these days But in the case of blue fire it really is like zelda and dark souls Then had a baby with a little bit of Mario mixed in and have you asked me that's a fun three-way. Oh We did it it takes so long Yeah, I'm gonna buy all the games play all the games review all the games then stand here And then I finally get through when I get that last one feels great I hope you guys found something you might want to buy play something that interests you whether it's little wood to blue fire As I said, there's a little something for everyone in all of these videos You can go back through and watch all the other ones There's like over 200 games if you don't find something that you want to play You're being picky you'll be you're being unreasonable even so be reasonable and hit like and subscribe if you haven't already Maybe check out the merch if you want to but also check out the sponsor of the video links down below And that is everything have a great whatever today is bye


Hi, I'm Jim Clute, I'm a data scientist from Chicago, Illinois, and my lightning talk is mapping 311 requests by community area in Chicago using shiny leaflet and the tidy verse. Chicago is divided in the 77 distinct neighborhoods called community areas. Community areas differ from wards or electoral districts in that their boundaries are static and don't change over time. The image on the right shows the boundaries for all 77 community areas. Students of Chicago can submit requests for non-emergency services like street repairs, free maintenance, or business complaints via the city's 311 program. 311 service request data are freely available in the Chicago data portal, which is a repository of public data sets from the city of Chicago. For my project, I want to know, is there variability in 311 utilization across Chicago community areas, and what does it look like, both spatially and temporarily? To begin investigating these questions, I built an interactive dashboard using public data in R, and I'll talk about the process for building that dashboard today. To get my data, I requested a free API key and used the Arsacrata library to query the data portal for new service requests every morning by running a window scheduled task on my desktop at home. Most service requests are tagged with their community area, enabling easy aggregation using tools from the tidy verse like deep plier and tidy R. In addition to 311 data, I used population information from the community areas in order to calculate service request rates. To make my community area map, I followed a tutorial from the University of Chicago for building interactive maps in R using leaflet. I followed another University of Chicago tutorial for working with shapefiles in R using SF, which enabled me to draw the community area boundaries on my leaflet map. Shapefiles for community areas are all available in the data portal. I created the user interface for my project in Shiny, along with a few additional packages and extensions. I used Plotly and GG Plot 2 for interactive time series visualizations. I used DT for interactive data tables, and I used Shiny BS and HTML widgets for additional dashboard functionality. To share the dashboard, it's live at jimtheflash.shinyapps.io slash chi 311 dash. The data should update daily, but again, this runs on a Windows desktop in my home office. The source code lives at github.com slash jimtheflash slash chi 311 dash. This is a screenshot of the visualizations tab of my dashboard. This is the landing page. You can search by specific service request here. If you don't add any specific request, it just gives you everything excluding general information and airport noise complaint requests. You can specify your date range here, and then the time series plot here on the right side has each point as a day and the total count of requests based on whatever you've selected, and it's in Plotly, so it would be interactive if this was actually the dashboard. Then on the explore data tab, you can search by specific neighborhoods or community areas and sort by service request types, total requests. So here I search by my community area, Edgewater, and I can see that abandoned vehicle complaints are the most frequent request in this date range. So to wrap up, public data is an awesome way to learn new things. This project helped me learn new tools, learned about my city, and gave me some really interesting things to talk about when interviewing for jobs. So the city of Chicago does a great job making useful data and tools available for the public. My project is really only possible because of this. And finally, Chicago is not the only municipality with tools for sharing public data. This tool could be easily adapted to other locations who might rely on similar infrastructure for tracking their service requests. Awesome. So thank you very much for your time, and enjoy the rest of the conference. Cheers.


What is a Cleveland Brown? The best f***ing team ever? Fan fan? Dubs? Uh-huh! A losing football team. A team without a hotel. I'm not sure what a Cleveland Brown is, but I love the old Cleveland Brown. So you like the Ravens? I don't even know. A misfit? I don't know. Something that comes out of guys in Cleveland in the morning.  Cleveland Brown is a sandwich that you can get in the festival. Sandwich shops in Cleveland, I'd say. It's the name of one of their coaches. So they named the team after Paul Brown.
