Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at the range now, and I've got my Ruger Mini 14 and we're gonna step back 150 yards with the 556 NATO the optic that I have here is a Bushnell 3 to 9 by 40 millimeter trophy I've been working on citing this in it's been a little difficult It shouldn't be but I've struggled with it since the day I got it I think I've got it close So we're gonna back up 150 yards, and I'm fully aware that this should be a chip shot for the 556 But I'm dealing with some wind Which is pretty normal, but also I'll see how well this Optic is sighted in so let's go ahead and back it up and see how the Mini 14 does Ruger Mini 14 150 yards That last one I pulled high. All right. Well, I did well that time I have to say that it was a struggle with this optic and the wind But that was a pretty decent series. I think I missed one that I pulled high I kind of felt that other than that at 150 yards. It's I think cited in I've I've been playing quite a bit with it, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep this optic on the Ruger Mini 14 As for the rifle itself, it's performing Outstanding and I'm very happy with it as I've always been ever since I've owned this Mini 14 I've had it a long time and it has always performed a hundred percent And it's a little more forgiving than an AR in regard to the types of ammo that you can use So there it is. I did a little better than I thought Actually a lot better than when I was practicing off-camera, but the Ruger Mini 14 came through I've had this gun for a number of years. You may notice this one looks a little different It has an ATI stock with a foldable Backstock here a little more tactical. It is called the tactical model many of the Mini 14's don't chew 556 The barrel stamped 223 Remington, but this one is a 556 NATO. It's a very nice rifle, and I've always enjoyed it I'm happy to take it back. This was actually a viewer's request And I'm thinking about doing a more modern review of this rifle and we'll see We'll see what the future holds, but I've always enjoyed it I think it's one fine firearm if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate the thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that graph the following linear system of equations on graphing calculator and the equations are 3x plus 5y is equal to 5 and 4x minus 6y is equal to 12. Also find their point of intersection. Let us start with the solution of the given question. Here we are given the linear system of equations and the equations are 3x plus 5y is equal to 5 and 4x minus 6y is equal to 12. And we have to graph these equations on graphing calculator and find their point of intersection. First we will enter these equations on graphing calculator for this we write these equations in y is equal to form. Now first equation is 3x plus 5y is equal to 5 and we can write it as 5y is equal to 5 minus 3x which implies that y is equal to 5 upon 5 minus 3 upon 5x that is y is equal to 1 minus 3 upon 5x or it can also be written as y is equal to minus 3 upon 5x plus 1. And the second equation is 4x minus 6y is equal to 12 and we can write it as minus 6y is equal to 12 minus 4x which implies that y is equal to 12 upon minus 6 minus 4 upon minus 6x which further implies that y is equal to minus 2 plus 2 upon 3x or it can also be written as y is equal to 2 by 3x minus 2. Now we have got these two equations in y is equal to form now we shall write these equations on graphing calculator for this first we begin with home screen and press y is equal to key this takes us to the equation entering screen where we will write our equation first let us enter the equation y is equal to minus 3 upon 5x plus 1 into y1 then we add the equation y is equal to 2 upon 3x minus 2 into y2 and we get this display on the screen to view its graph we press graph key on the screen the graph of the linear function y is equal to minus 3 upon 5x plus 1 and the graph of the other linear function 2 by 3x minus 2 will appear we see that both curves are straight lines and now we need to find their point of intersection now if we look at the screen we can clearly see that there is only one point of intersection and we have to find coordinates of this intersecting point to find coordinates of the intersecting point we press second key followed by trace key we will get calculate menu on the screen now see at number five intersect is written so press number five key to know points of intersection we will get the following display now see first curve is written that is y1 is equal to minus 3 upon 5x plus 1 is written so we bring the cursor near the intersecting point on this curve then we press enter key that is this key we get this display now second curve that is y2 is equal to 2 upon 3x minus 2 is displayed so we bring cursor near to the same intersecting point on second curve that is y2 is equal to 2 by 3x minus 2 and again we press enter key now guess appears on screen again we press enter key we get the following display this gives us the coordinates of this point of intersection and it is x is equal to 2.36 and y is equal to minus 0.42 thus the ordered pair 2.36 minus 0.42 is the point of intersection of the given system of equations which is the required answer this completes our session hope you enjoyed this session


This video brought to you by Ribtea.com, where their focus is to help men look better and feel better, so they can be at their best all day, every day. What we are doing is we want honesty and we deal with a country we want honesty. And I think with the new president you're going to see much more honesty in the Ukraine. And that's what we're looking for. We're supporting a country. We want to make sure that country is honest. It's very important to talk about corruption. If you don't talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think it is corrupt? Welcome back. I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everybody that's donated to this channel, my Patreon, and my subscribe star subscribers. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. I also wanted to let everybody know about my new website, DroneTechPolitics.com, that's going to be launching any day now. There, you're going to find exclusive content, live streams, discussion forms, and stories written by a brilliant team of writers that includes Robert Noir and SJG Perspective. Lastly, I want to let you all know about something I'm really excited about. I'm going to be attending the CNN Democrat debates on October 15th. While there, I'm going to be interviewing attendees and students on the Audubon University campus. I'll of course be live streaming as well. So make sure to mark that on your calendar and stock up on booze. It should be entertaining. The media loves to bring up people like Kellyanne Conway and her now infamous quote about alternative facts. But they themselves are constantly engaged in manufacturing their own alternate version of reality and framing it in such a way as to get maximum benefit for the Democrat Party. We've seen them use these exact tactics to paint Trump as a f*** by taking his quotes and completely misrepresenting him. They repeat these fake quotes over and over again to the point that your average person will always remember the alternate version and will likely just reject anybody who tries to claim otherwise as a right-wing conspiracy theorist. What we really mean is he's promoting a conspiracy theory based on a bunch of lies that are being dredged up on the web. We'll get right back to this media meltdown. But first, let me just take a quick moment to thank this video's sponsor, Ribtea.com. Guys, I know that we all need to constantly replace our t-shirts and underwear because we buy them cheap in bulk and at department stores.

Well, today on NBC they brought on one of their analysts to continue this DNC media tradition and literally just make up Trump quotes from the phone call between the president and the president of Ukraine. Yes, we can all see the transcript and yes, we can all plainly see that none of these words were spoken, but NBC realizes the power of alternative facts. This was part of a carefully orchestrated effort by a number of key administration officials to present an ultimatum to the Ukrainians. You've got to get involved in the 2020 election, help Trump win reelection, and if not, then you're not going to get the benefit of American support, including military support. I just went back and reread the transcript and nowhere in there did I see anything about ultimatums or getting involved in the 2020 election or helping Trump to win reelection. What I saw were discussions about corruption in Ukraine and getting reassurances that corruption would be dealt with. Remember, Trump said that he was concerned about giving all this money to Ukraine with all that corruption going on and not knowing that that money would be spent the way it was intended. We're supporting a country. We want to make sure that country is honest. It's very important to talk about corruption. If you don't talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think is corrupt? Only later is Biden even mentioned and it's only like two sentences about questions surrounding the firing of that prosecutor and the ending of that investigation. Well, imagine Savannah if a president of the United States said to China, hey, you can invade your neighbors or said to North Korea, you can build nuclear weapons if you do me a favor though. Let's be clear here. What that so-called reporter just reported is a total fabrication. It's literally just a fantasy about what he wished Trump had said. The key word here is imagine as in imagination. Nothing in that phone call rose to anything near the picture this fraud is painting. What Trump did was ask the Ukrainian president to look into the firing of that prosecutor as an overall anti-corruption plan. Trump doesn't even know if Biden is going to be his opponent and even if he did, why would he be worried about that? Have you seen Biden's rallies?  Beyond that, all of the Democrat presidential candidates put together haven't raised as much as the Trump campaign in the third quarter. Every single attempt to take Trump out since the day he took office has failed. Trump has every reason to be confident going into this election. Frankly, this fake news is so outrageous that not much needs said about it, but I do want to point out some other interesting facts that are withheld from NBC viewer. The NBC host introduced this analyst as, quote, a former chief of staff at the CIA as well as the Department of Defense. But she withholds the fact that he actually worked for the Obama administration. It's not that unusual for the DNC media to be stacked with Democrat Party officials, but they never seem to disclose that fact for some odd reason. They also hide the fact that this analyst and the husband of the host both worked for Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign and they both took part in the efforts to recount Florida votes. Gee, why would the fact that these people were part of an effort to delegitimize the last Republican president be relevant at all? If it seems like this latest NBC deception seems familiar, that's because it is. This latest media attempt to mislead and deceive the public follows Congressman Schiff's alternate reality telling of Trump's phone call. This happened during his opening speech at the impeachment inquiry hearing where he, like the NBC reporter, conjured up his own fictional account of that phone call. Wow, once again, we seem to see coordination between the media and the Democrats to plant a false memory into the heads of as many Americans as they can. If you're worried about Trump, then this should make you feel a little bit better. They wouldn't be doing any of this if they were confident they could take down Trump before the election. However, it also means that they're likely going to ramp up these tactics the closer we get to the election.

Welcome back to the animation analysis and today I'm going to take a look at Pixar's Inside Out 2. It was perfectly timed. All right. Actually, I want to talk about this because of one shot, to be honest. There was one that was really cool. I mean, they're all really cool, but there was one where I thought, that's really neat. I want to talk about this for my students and my class. I might as well get back to the channel and record things and look at things and as you go frame by frame, nerding out about things. What I like about this too, especially, is just the different characters. That is already a great frame. Why? Because right now I have an animation mentor class and an academy class is going to start. They're all advanced acting classes and character stuff. We talk about personality and attitude and posing and making sure that your character is not just a default character. Oftentimes, your character is coming in a default pose. Sometimes the T pose is not like that. However, the arms are, but like classic wise characters are like that. Then the students usually bring down the arms. The character is just standing in a kind of what I call the rig pose, like the default rig pose. Then they start animating like that without really thinking about what their personality is. This is great because these are all representing different emotions. You can already see how that is the slight tilt to look away as well. Sadness, you kind of like might not want to participate. You're thinking about something else. They're their own mindsets type of thing. Then you got that kind of the nervous aspect of it, how the hand pose is already totally different. You can't really see it here, but that is different versus what these characters pose with his eyes. She is obviously the main character, fully engaged, ready to do something that already not a super angry at this point. But still, all those will give you a different representation of who the character is. That's something for everyone watching that is starting a class or is about to or starting their own shots for students. Really think in terms of who is your character? What's your personality? You might even assign an emotion. Like is that character always happy? Is that character always sad? Is that character always, you know, whatever it is, and it can adjust your posing according to that. So it's not the kind of the defaulty look to that. This whenever I see this, oh man, what I was watching, I was watching something and a character, I was a guy on TikTok. There's a guy, I can't remember his name. He always has a mustache and it's a comedian type style on TikTok. And then someone in the comments said, you look like Inside Out's dad. Dad is back, but that is actually from the first movie. I was going to say he hasn't changed, he hasn't shaved, but that's from the first movie. Animation wise, what this makes me think of is all of this contact and interaction. Such a pain to animate and something else might as well point out for students. This is super cool. Why? It's super subjective. I say it's super cool. It doesn't have to be super cool, but it's just very complex. And to make something believable in terms of their holding, their hugging, their squeezing, the contact points, maybe you have control over the hair and your rake, how that might go up. Maybe she gets closer and it pushes the glasses up. Just the physical contact and the aspect of characters colliding, if you will, that's not easy to animate such a pain. And I always find it super interesting in any kind of shots and in terms of kind of like, for your reel you want to showcase, obviously you have different shots in your reel. Each shot is going to represent something else you want to showcase. Your first shot might be all acting and performance and then might all be about body mechanics, full body pantomime. And this could be all close up facial acting. And then you have maybe like interaction and weight assignment and stuff like that. And I think something like interaction shot is going to be much more complex and show off. Then for instance, a shot like this, like this to me serves in terms of like a story point. This is an important shot for establishing this revealing characters, like whatever the need is in the movie or TV show, whatever. But on a demo reel, this wouldn't be as complex and interesting subjectively as this, at least to me, like this is much more complex. And of course, you can make it more complex than something like this. But anyway, now this seems to be new footage, right? He looks the same. He never shapes. I haven't seen the first one in a while, to be honest, but 13. All right, this must be new, right? Because she is, she is older.  It's cute. Eyeline. I don't know why I'm forcing an eyeliner just because right now I got to know about eyeliner. Got to fix my eyeliner. Where is he looking? He's looking somewhere else. He's looking at the chair. Eyelines, eyeliner. Wait, how is he holding this phone? What is going on? Is this resting on a finger? Sort of distracted already. Everything changes. Yes, she gets older, more emotions. But anyway, the shot is coming out like halfway through in when this starts. This is going to say the rendering of this cut to close up. You should, if you like buttons, this is so not animation related. Half the people have it. 80% already clicked off this video. But this, the renders, kind of like the material, the refractions, the lights and all that stuff. Watch Light Year again. Light Year is so cool in terms of buttons. It's cool. I like that movie a lot. Despite, I don't know what people are complaining about. I like that movie so much and the designs, the production design, the lighting rendering in that movie is so great. Anyway, I mean, I already see buttons like that. It makes me think of that. All right, we're getting into, that's a good frame for different types of mouth shapes with slight variations. They're somewhat the same, but they're still not. Again, this all makes, this is also important in terms of just organic flow of making things look just different enough so it doesn't feel copy pasted. I like this guy in the back. Wait, is he in a, wait, they're all in jammies? Is that his night cap, night gown? What is he holding? Is that his little sleeping buddy? Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, he does have a night cap here. That's great. All right, all right. I love this here, that from the impact or maybe the stress, all of this is, that's awesome. Anyway, going frame by frame, you can see some smears hand poses. I know I say hand poses. I say this, this means nothing, but in my mind, I see this, I think hand pose, I think tangled. Tangled has so many awesome hand poses. I don't think it's a weird tangent, but so great. Ooh, see that to me. Here, there we go. So what shot would be awesome for a real, this shot? Compared to, where is the other one? This one. I don't know who did this. I'm not saying this is a badly animated shot. This is for students. Like what should I put on my reel? That shot versus this one. This you got different mechanics in terms of just the weighty aspect of this being super weight. You can see there's no bounce on this, right? This is just heavy versus body mechanics on a character that's going to bounce and scramble backwards. It's so great. Love the offset poses here. And then you got the weight too. I love that. Actually, that's actually super cool. I know this is getting into props and sets and stuff. What I love is this here. You have the weight of this, but then you got the weight of this. And then you got the pull and how that goes from slack to tight. And then how this pulls and whoever animated this, I love it because there's rotation. It's not one axis just pulling back. There's some complexity. So this might point this way, but this core is probably pointing slightly, you know, screen left, which means it's going to pull that thing over. That's great. Analyzing stuff like that to me is just as exciting as stuff like this. I like props and sets. Come on. Cool. Oftentimes I give a sit-down assignment for my students just to kind of go into mechanics, but you can absolutely do a getting up assignment as well. Oh, it's a teddy bear. I don't know what it was. It was a teddy bear. He's in on these all of it.  I don't know. Maybe more protective she signed and she wants to be on bundle up and I'm totally reading into whatever subjectively. These are great. This would be awesome. Like whenever I see someone, oh, this would be great to animate. Just the simplicity of it.  Like you can still do facial animation, but then you have just like a fun cartoony. Exactly. Sorry. I'm listening to the sound which I don't have on when I play this. Also great. Like that for real would be like a moment from this here, right? When you go from one change to, of course, I would love to animate the door and I'm weird, but then the walk, it's cute. And I love that doesn't go into immediately a walk, but there's that little jump up into that. And also don't forget contrast, right? It's not just a walk cycle going forward, but over time, body changes, he gets more focused for task here, arms go down. That's something else that I mentioned a lot to students. It's just contrast. You might have someone, what did someone do? Have someone in my workshop who is holding a weapon. And they were kind of, I was telling them like he's thinking about this weapon, like as his baby. And it was the character in the weapon and it was more cycling in terms of how the weapon was bobbing up and down. And I was asking like, Hey, what if you have this, but then you end up here. It's the same idea, but over time, the weapon gets close. It's almost like more of a hug or you can see that he cares about his weapon so much more because it starts far away and gets closer. So contrast. And just even if you're in one pose, and the next pose is almost the same. It's like a pose and a sub pose. Like you want to still have some contrast in there. This guy's awesome. That's cool too. I love this here. It's not just a walk, but you have awareness. Ooh, look into camera awareness of the environment and then reacting to it, which then pushes into a different kind of body mechanics with a turn, right? There's more to it. That's great. That'd be a great assignment list here. Reacting to something while walking and adding your complexity of space. That's the other thing that I say a lot to the students is use your space so that your shot is not where the character is kind of that's often too like the legs are bolted to the ground and it feels like everything is upper body arms flailing acting, but it feels like I'm stuck and glued to the ground. I don't want to move. And if you have a character to move them, at least in one axis, I always encourage more complex axis movement. But this is great where you go from basically background ish, right? To more foreground ish, but it's in a diagonal with a turn. So much more complex. It's great. Oh, sorry. Oh, that guy. I love that guy. Oh, that's awesome. I love stuff like that. No, his teddy. That TV is going to say, is that teddy going to move? See slapping. No, just going to move. I need to pitch in there. Oh, look at those gray poses there in between. All of this great lines. What's his face? Okay. I was going to say, is he going to really like a completely manic like, I love this. Oh, here's the shot. All right. Here's the shot after all of this is like 11 minutes of me rambling. So the reason why I thought this would be really cool for many reasons, obviously, analyze this and talk to this to my students is that the couple of things, like as a shot, this is already great. How she comes in. I love stuff entering frame. This could be imagine your damn real beginning if he's not here and you got your text name, you know, a character animator, the date and the year, at least in your socials. And then a character comes into frame to do something. And maybe maybe this character is already there, maybe kind of sleeping, whatever it is. But I love entrances like this. Cool pose. Love the sliding. This will probably hurt her feet. We kind of need to have some debris movement in here. I would copy paste some pebbles here and have them move and slide. It'd be awesome. You can see here the what is going on here. Is that the fire? Why is this up here? Maybe it's the energy of this guy. About great mechanics in terms of you jump in, right? He got a bounce lands plus slide because it's again, usually in most animation clips, it's someone just walking whatever doing something on whatever surface that seems very neutral, right? And you don't really see that often stuff where someone is jumping in, for instance, right? But on this on this slidey surface, this could be ice. This could be whatever, like debris dust on a on a slippery surface. This could also be swampy and sticky. Imagine she jumps in and just the features stick and the jump off with feet sticking could be a really interesting way of showcasing mechanics in a way. But then you got the scramble of because it's slippery, which is an interesting mechanics to go backwards, nice lines here, and also pulling something. Then you got weights of pulling something heavy. Anyway, this is not what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is that there is so much fire, right? Coming out here. The first time a watch is going, Oh, this is cool. She is pulling him, but he is not being pulled over to the side where he might be on the ground here, right? Mouth, eyes, arm, feet here. And she's just pulling him. The force of the fire basically creates force down this way. And that's why when she pulls, he stays pretty much upright and is being pulled like that sliding on the ground. That was my thought the first time I watched this. And that's just the cool thing to remember for anybody to watch the anime something like this, like imagine the, what is your character pulling? And then you add the extra complexity of maybe there is, I'm going to say like a jet turbine, whatever, like something pushing down here, which changes the whole aspect of pulling. So it's not, again, pull over, topples and falls. Then you just pull something heavy. It's something pulling this way while this is pushing down on the ground. I'm sure that I'm 300% reading into this, but it's great. I love it. Also, hold on. Love this here. This guy has no idea. He's completely unfazed, by the way. So he's oblivious or he's just super happy. But if you have something that's like that and it's not that kind of character for spatial awareness, I would always consider you have this happening. Hey, it's heat. It's not just the sound and maybe shockwave of an explosion of whatever you have, right? Whatever it is in your scene. But that is an event that you're going to feel and hear. So any other character than this guy would turn around and wins and put the head away from the heat. You know what I mean? So that's something else that I want to, that I'm trying to bring to the classes where whatever your character is doing, if you have characters surrounding another character and stuff is happening, they might, you know, open something and it breaks apart. There's something really loud. They start yelling, whatever it is. Make sure your characters are aware of that and react accordingly to it. It just makes it less like copy and paste, copy and paste characters that just do an action on the cycle, whatever it is. But they're part of the world and they hear things, they, you know, they react to it. Again, in this case, I don't mind just because they are task focused. They don't care that they're breaking things up. I don't care about any of the people here. They just do their thing. Great stuff to hear. I love all the complexities of the steps, the slight, you know, the offsetness here, the off balance and the lean into this. Love this guys. Whenever you have a crotch all like this, you always have to look at the background. Like what did people put in here? What I would love to hear if, let's say, you're soon, right? And you're doing a shot where someone is closing something. This could be the trunk of a car. This could be a mechanical thing like this. Once everything is done for like extra fun policy stuff, imagine you had either wires attached here or like loose buttons. The moment you slam this down, you could have things go and move around just for extra cute, nice little polish that is not distracting. Like you wouldn't have something like that big that just flops around distracting from the characters. But you can sneak in some nice high level policy stuff with prop interactions. Even when props move, that makes sense. Well, I like this here. I like that readjustment. All right, I'm done here. Let me readjust my belt. That's also great. Look at that. Scramble into checking what is different. Again, I'm looking at like, what could you do as a shot? For me, I'm struggling with this a lot when I do my shots at home, which means like once every couple of years to do a shot. And I tell my students like three to five seconds, maybe five to seven, don't go longer than 10. There's so much work. I say this and then my shots when I do them at home, if I do ever anything, they're like 45 seconds. I don't stick to what I'm preaching quote unquote, right? But look at this shot. This shot is, what are we at here? We are 15, 20. Okay, three, four. It's a longest shot. It's a good amount. But look what's packed in this. Let's pretend you would replicate something simple. I don't, I'm not saying copy this, but you have smack down. This could be something that she maybe she has to pull down more. That's already a weight thing. Then you have a 180 turn and walk. That's already complex enough, right? And then you have a character that is scrambling to go somewhere. It's the contrast of more quiet movement versus crazy movement, right? Like big, big mechanics. That's already great to see. And then pantomime thought process of, Oh, what's going on? Well, what's, what's different here? I love all this. And it's like the checking, checking up there and turning into like a last moment acting partner. It's great. Yeah, that's really, really cool. I love all this hair. All right. And now we have the introduction. I would like to show you too. This is a great way of, I think something else that would, it's that's definitely a bit more complex for students where you have multiple characters a that's already tricky. And then walks, which is tricky too. But if you are in the more advanced territory, I love this because it's those are personality walks. Such an appealing face with those eyes. Fast look, reveal. Also, what I like a lot in shots is reveals, if you can tell, and just like surprise entrance and the reveals. But that's a cute face. That reveals that, which is funny. The way he goes away. So again, it's contrast, right? You got that kind of move and turn, which funny enough, I don't know how many times for like for students, we always have been taught the same thing, like to avoid symmetry, where like arms are not doing the same thing. And then in movies, TV shows anywhere, like arms out is symmetrical. I mean, obviously, there's a tilt. And then here there is a change. But I've been hammered this into my brain as a student from my teachers. And then ever since then, and I'm telling my students as well, but you see it is everywhere all the time. It's, I guess not that important. I mean, it has its place. Also, the thing is, if you had every character, again, totally, you know, like there are only so many poses you can do before characters that I think this is a good contrast of again, this is just enough asymmetry.  That's also more in character. So this definitely has like twinning of arms has his exceptions for sure. Love that, though. It's a good pose there into that move over. I like again, the contrast of big steps, smallish steps, right? And then her fast steps, it's great.  So great. tricky to do that's something that I had to deal with on the show was working on way beyond is covering faces. Like this, you just see the face. It's tricky. It's almost like you want to move that character a bit to the left so that you see either you see less or see more. It's almost a bit weird to just have that black thing here. I am backseat critiquing. Sorry. You know what? Last time, where was that? I don't know what trailer it was. I was, I rarely give notes on trailers because it's like, these are all professionals doing it. They all have their reasons. I'm not going to assume that I'm better than any of them. But then last time I did a, like a per trailer, I critique maybe one or two shots, maybe. And then it was Cody shot. Cody's an animator because I used to be my student. I say students, quote unquote, he was already so good. Like he doesn't really, there's nothing he learned from me. He was already so good. And now that I'm critiquing this, I'm sure this is a shot. I'm going to call it. But I love again, the reveal and then the reveal of this. I love that from. That is great. And then again, the, the timing is different, right? Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster to slower reveal new character. What this guy is excited about. Oh, that's a crazy shot too. Look at this here. Oh, that's great. That's bonkers. I'm just turning off the eye here. Let's talk about covering, covering things. But having the timing, it all has to be different, right? They're all reacting to the same thing at the same time, but you still have to have different amount of, you know, just even a frame or two differences. I love this here. Look at that. Grabbing the head, pulling back. This character going in between, in front of it, landing in a very clean graphic pose. This is a fantastic shot. Holy moly. Love this. How long is this shot? And let's see. And that's not long. See, you don't need a 10 second shot. Do this. I say do this. This is so complicated. It's great though. Great posing. Such a great example of posing, reaction, mechanics, back to posing. There's so much crammed into what is like a two second shot. It's great. The character comes with its own luggage or baggage. Anxiety comes with its baggage. Sorry, I can't help myself. I like that stuff. I love this here. This is too what I saw first time. I love this here. It's almost like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this. I love that handshake there. Again, what I said before, you got your some, I mean, it helps that the body is lined this way, but still these are technically twin arms, twin arms, twin arms. And I remember I had, I can say names, but I had to find out a Pixar teacher who was railing against W poses. He just hated it. He was a great teacher though, but this always stood out when I was a student, how he was just hammering down on on W poses. And then you're looking at a Pixar trailer and this is W pose. Slight offset and height though. But again, like I said, it's not as much as it was hammered in for us way back. That's a great walk and great gestures here. W poses, twin poses, and the end. Wait, it's the end. We still have to have the reveal of all the other ones, the new ones. There was a new one I thought I saw on a tweet and it was, where is it only if this new emotion is somewhat French and like with like a big nose or something. Come on. Either you're gonna lean on this or not. That's also what I can already imagine all the controls on this and the pain of animating this. So fun though. Again, also great walk. Definitely looking forward to it. I like the first one a lot. Score is great. I hope we got the same jikino as the composer. But yeah, lots of cool stuff. Already a lot to unpack in a teaser only. We'll see what the trailer will reveal. I will probably, to be honest, not look at the trailer for a lot of movies. I don't look at the trailers because it's just spoilers. I don't want to know anything. I just want to go in blind. So you may or may not get a, I don't know why I circled this, but a full trailer analysis? Probably not because I don't want to know. But we'll see. Also, prop, prop animation and contrast. Look at this. They all fall down, roll over, but then you got this guy is the only one that kind of magically, magically goes back here. If you think about the physics, that's a magical turn back. But it gives you contrast, but also gives the character room to go forward. That's great. Great stuff. I love it. All right. Well, that's that. What is this? 26 minutes, something like that. 25 minutes of me rambling. But anyway, if there's one thing you take away from this, dear students, where is it? There you go. Is that shock? Think of the mechanics, the physics of you're pulling something while this force applied here. I just like that. And also kind of reinforces the thing of he is so mad. There's so much energy and fire that he can't even be pulled out of that pose in a way. You mean like he's just solid like, I am so mad. No matter what you do, I am stuck in that pose. It's great. All right. Well, I'll leave it at that. Thanks for watching. Feel free to subscribe if you don't want to miss any of these.

The U.S. has been in total chaos in the past few days with Black Lives Matter protests, presidential Twitter meltdowns, weak U.S. economic updates, and geopolitical tensions with China. All the while, the coronavirus death toll rises to 104,000. With that, it's no surprise that the U.S. dollar didn't receive much love among its forex peers.

This week, we'll be keeping an eye on what's going on in the U.S. as well as important risk events globally, such as rate decisions from Australia, Canada, and the ECB. On Monday, we'll also be looking at the U.S. manufacturing PMI. Today, I'm looking at the Euro-dollar pair that broke above the daily Ichimako Cloud on Friday and continued its bullish momentum early during Monday's Asian session. This came after the formation of a triple-bottom bullish reversal chart pattern. But while all the signs are now bullish, we could expect a temporary pullback before further gains. The next resistance levels are set at 1.12 and 1.135 respectively. Do you think the new bullish sentiment is here to stay? Head over to the comment section and let me know.

When the need arises to release a fish, we're all responsible for ensuring it is released in a way that provides the greatest chance of survival. Snapper, like many other bottom-dwelling species, are susceptible to barotrauma when caught from depths greater than 10 metres. Barotrauma is a pressure-related injury that fish experience when reeled up from depth. These injuries are caused by the expansion of gases within the fish's body as a result of the rapid change in pressure when brought to the surface. There are a number of injuries caused by barotrauma, including hyper-extension of the swim bladder that results in a swollen abdomen and a version of the stomach into the throat or out of the mouth. The expansion of gas in the swim bladder can result in excessive buoyancy, which prevents the fish from returning to depth on its own and can lead to sun damage and increased risk from predators. A recent study led by Saati and funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation, monitored the survival rates of release snapper caught in South Australia's gulfs using electronic tags. The fish were captured at various depths up to 35 metres and released either at the surface or returned to their depth of capture using a release weight. The study found that the severity of barotrauma increased with depth, which resulted in a rapid decline in the survival rates of released fish. Despite initially appearing healthy when released, some fish succumbed to their injuries up to 10 hours after they were returned to the water. The study also showed that fish returned to the water using a release weight at a higher probability of survival than those released at the surface. Recreational fishers in South Australia are strongly encouraged to carry a release weight when releasing in deeper water, especially to assist with the release of unintentionally caught or undersized snapper. A release weight returns the fish to its depth of capture, which recompresses the gasses in the fish's body and allows it to regain correct buoyancy. The most common form of release weight is a large sinker attached to an inverted barbless hook, which is fitted to a separate fishing rod or a heavy retrieval line. These can be purchased from fishing and tackle stores around South Australia or made at home using a large sinker and a barbless hook. There are a number of things that fishers can do to optimize the survival of release snapper. Firstly, fishing for snapper in shallow water is the best option to reduce barra trauma and improve survival, given the strong relationship between barra trauma and depth. Deep hooking, where the fish is hooked in the gills or stomach, can significantly impact post-release survival. This can be reduced by using circle hooks rather than traditional J hooks when bait fishing or by lure fishing instead. When landing and handling a fish that is intended for release, it is considered best practice to be prepared before the fish is hooked by having the necessary tools and equipment readily available, such as a landing net, wet towel and pliers. Reducing handling time and air exposure will optimize the probability of survival. It is also recommended to use a knotless or silicon landing net to support the weight of the fish when bringing it to the vessel. And placing the fish into a cool, wet surface and handling with wet hands or gloves to minimize the removal of protective mucus. You should also remove the hook from the fish's mouth or cut the line close to the mouth if the fish is deep hooked. The release weight is most easily used by two people, but one person supports the fish and the other attaches the weight. However, it can also be used individually. The recommended approach is to support the fish and attach the release weight through the upper jaw. Where possible, use the existing hole from where the fish was hooked. Place the fish in the water and then let it go, allowing the release weight to take the fish back to depth. Let the retrieval line run free as the fish is released and then detach the release weight from the fish by stopping the retrieval line and briefly pulling on it. The barbless hook will slide out of the fish's mouth and the release weight can be retrieved. By making small changes to the way we handle and release snapper, we can all optimize their probability of survival when released and contribute to the recovery of this iconic fish species.
