Hey everyone, you might recognize me and Eric here from the Nintendo Prime podcast I just want to let you know before you get into this segment that this merchandise you see on our shirts and on our cups and on anything else You oversee the Nintendo Prime brandy on it. You can get in the description below You can also get the full audio podcast not segmented in the description below and if you would like early access to our podcast Please go over to patreon.com Nintendo Prime for five dollars a month you gain early access to the full audio podcast and well mr. Eric What do you get for twenty dollars a month?  Anyways folks on to the episode I want to move on to our final topic So we just talked a ton about Xenoma Chronicles 2. I hope people that Sometimes I don't think I've ever heard the criticism that we don't talk about something But I feel like it's a criticism of myself You know as much as I blame on all the stuff in Nintendo that we haven't talked about Xenoma Chronicles 2 enough I mean look at all this Odyssey stuff in front of me right now. Can you blame me? But again marketing budget and how you show a game. I think Xenoma Chronicles 2 could It feels we're saying this I think if they did it right It could be like the new Final Fantasy because I think a lot of people are sick of Final Fantasy or a Nintendo Final Fantasy Nintendo's Final Fantasy I should say But that I don't know they just never seem to do it that way. So coming out talking a ton about that I think one of the most anticipated releases happening this month since that's next month Switch is doom And it's developed imported by panic button In October some of the folks behind panic button express concern That fans were too focused on frame rate and resolution rather than if the game is fun In fact, my video I covered on this is our most viewed video in like three months so a lot of people interested in Panic buttons take on how fans are reacting to the game The game releases this week the week that the podcast is coming out on Friday and At the time of recording this episode we're about a week out from launch And we haven't seen any direct feed footage Should we be worried? The only time they've shown off this game. It's been shown off twice now One was a press event and all of it was off-screen off-camera portable mode Where it the resolution bounces between 720p and 540p? It's a mostly solid 30 FPS couple like a couple frame drops if you look close But again, even digital foundry had a hard time trying to track that because again, it's all off-camera feed Even their own gameplay, which you know is the camera glitching. Is it the game? Did they feel it while they were playing and then On top of that The it's been shown one other time which looked like it was at another media event Which might have ended in another country because we just got a new video Recently showing off basically it's the exact same demo. They showed off before but again It was in tabletop mode This is a game that at least based on the viewership of that one video that I have and some other like when doom was announced Um, a lot of people are really really interested in playing doom on the go Um, or a lot or at least interested in how it performs But no direct feed footage. No docked mode footage Had to end the launch. I mean not even a commercial showing off docked mode footage Should we be worried that there's something wrong with this game That they don't want to show you docked mode because it's not good looking It's just gonna turn people off um So They also did something strange not panic button, but uh, Bethesda Yeah, um with doom when it actually released originally the still the same game Last year Where they didn't release review copies and everyone took that to be a bad sign of Oh, this game isn't gonna be good because they didn't release a copy early for reviews to Get them out ahead of the release of the game I'm curious if it's something along that same lines of thinking where they just don't care What you think right now because they know Something about it that we don't know Maybe the game is in 720p in docked mode. Maybe But maybe it's a constant 60 frames per second and it Plays great You know, maybe they're trying to make sure people don't focus On the fact that the yeah, they didn't hit 1080. They didn't hit 900 But they hit that 60 fps which people Desperately want out of doom, but wouldn't that be something that you want to advertise because that could affect sales Yeah 60 fps like like not having reviews. There's still gonna be people that buy the game day one And we'll tell you if it's good Like 60 fps is a big deal for a lot of people Yeah, it is um, and that's why some people had you know, that's why it was weird as a panic button responded saying that you know Stop focusing on the fact that it's sub 720p at times and not you know We targeted 30 fps for this game focus on the fun. That sounds great. But if dock mode is 60 fps How do you not say that that'll leave you it's everyone's concerns a bit. Oh, so portable We get it portable. It has to be 30. But when we play it on our tv, we're getting that 60 fps. Like that's a big deal right I don't know that doesn't sound like that would literally all all the Criticism that panic button basically threw at the fans that were reacting really bad about the 30 fps Would be nullified by just saying well, yeah, but you get it 62 if you want it, right? Um, so I that's why I don't I want you to be right Seriously like me too Not I mean I'm not saying that it's going to make me buy the game any less like 30 fps I think it's playable a lot of people say oh, it's not playable We've played 30 fps games for a long time destiny 2 is 30 fps. It is playable. Is it the ideal? Level of playability, of course not 60 fps and above is ideal for basically every game out there um I mean heck the razor just is releasing a phone that runs at 120 fps On the screen for like the first time ever just it's crazy Um, like it has that refresh rate that no other phone has it even not playing games It's just silky smooth using the phone We're not eight gigabytes of ram which is not even standard the top level android snapdragon processor They are like going balls to the wall and they put like legit real speakers with bass in them Like front-facing two of them that have like tweakers in them and stuff like they're like oh my god So so it actually makes me want to want to get rid of my phone It's a $700 phone which really isn't I mean the phone I has more expensive than that um, and it has Like no bs stuff added to the uh operating system of android no bloatware. Wow It's like I mean I watched unbox therapy do things like this is the first time I've unboxed a phone That I think same day. I'm taking the sim card out of my current phone I'm switching to that my main phone right away. It's the first time they've ever made a phone Um, and it's supposed to be targeted at gamers and you could understand what the with the refresh rate and all that stuff But uh, that's the kind of stuff that feels like it should just be standard in a phone But nobody's doing it. No, there are front-facing speakers on some phones But they don't care about the low end about the bass how music sounds coming out of your phone Right, they don't care about the smooth. Oh people have been Standardizing this and that's like thing 60 fps and doom is a big deal So if it has that and they're not saying that it could be a huh nice surprise But everyone went in thinking it's just 30 and no one's gonna find we're heading to a busy holidays He's no one's gonna hear hear the noise out there that it's 60 fps intact Maybe but it might just be overconfident. It's like doom skyrim Uh Trying to remember it all la noir and now there's another game a rocket league. Oh, yeah, all of that's packed into like five days Yeah, i'm sorry like any news. Oh doom is 60 fps. Oh, did you hear about rocket league? Like it's gonna be overshadowed so quickly if that's the case um And you gotta remember this is panic button that seems to be handling a lot of the marketing Even though obviously it's Bethesda's budget uh that You know, you look at panic button. I also ported another game on switch Um, I'm trying to remember which game that was Oh, was it rocket league? I think they did the rocket league port I think that's the one um And rocket league, yeah 60 fps, but it's always been 60 fps They said no matter what we do to this game It's going to be 60 fps because the people behind the game said it has to be 60 fps Panic button was giving carte blanche to say ah, we're going to target 30 um Yeah, there was another game they ported that's actually released. Uh, I think they did the minecraft port um, and that had issues in terms of Uh, there're not being any differences between docked and handheld mode and then they got patched in later And maybe that's what's going to happen with doom, but it feels like if that happens with doom It's going to be 1080p like I When I say should we be worried I think If they don't show any direct feed footage before launch or until like the day before launch When most people that already pre-order are going to miss it um It's because the game runs at 720p Uh, basically runs exactly the same as in handheld and when you blow that up on a big screen, it doesn't look good It looks like an extremely low setting version of doom That is unattractive Whereas a lot of stuff like that is hidden on a smaller screen Potentially, yeah, and then I think that's the concern Um is but by at least what I've seen you know people talking about they're like, why why can't we get direct feed footage? Why is this not happening and we're and I'm sure just like the original doom There's not gonna be allowed any review copy or any footage shown of the game until they release. Yeah Yeah and my thing is If you want people to stop talking about frame rate and actually worry about if the game looks fun or not How is anybody gonna know if the game looks fun or not if you don't put out any sort of footage of the game and the best way to show your game is direct feed right and Right now we only have what speculation on on what the fps is. Yeah, that's of course That's what people are gonna be talking about because it's all speculation and we don't have any footage Hello yeah, it's I liken this to if if nintendo fans want to think about a similar situation breath of the wild When it was first shown off for the very first time like actual gameplay. I'm not talking about the trailer to show it off at e3 man, how long goes that 20 What's the 2014 I believe like that they showed off the that's when you know, eGenova Influenced me snapped his fingers and then on the screen that we saw what looked like a A pre-setup scene with a guardian chasing you And that and the world changed a lot from that, but we didn't see real gameplay like someone playing the game Until the game awards in december of that year. I think it was the first ever game awards It was a huge deal like a big get for them to get zeal the gameplay, but it was off-screen it was like off-screen footage of a tv with eGenova playing it and This was at a time when people had already been doing like live streams Like directory gameplay where you could just overlay, you know eGenova stuff on there like people have been doing this Yeah live stream wasn't new then so It was a bad showy Because people are like Like squinting to see what's going on on that tv in the little in the corner Like a majority of the screen that you're seeing is basically dead space and there is eGenova and Miyamoto front and center and then up in the corner is breath of the wild I know we're gonna talk about breath of the wild while you could barely see what's going on Um, and I'm not saying that's what's happened There's some people who have set up their cameras to try to get like as direct footage as they can But it's still not it's still even in that case one not fully representative of what people are going to see with their eyes themselves Because again, there's compression also like compression gets even worse when it's video of a screen So it's even worse and on top of that A lot of people want to know what it's like in docked mode like we're at a point that you can't just treat Unless the game is specifically handheld only you can't just treat the switch. It's just a handheld You have to take in in the fact like Nintendo just released a graph on this actually That is something like 30 percent of people or something like that 30 percent of people Primarily play 80 percent of the time with their switch in handheld mode Uh, only 18 percent of the people play primarily 80 percent of the time in docked mode. However Combined that there's like 60 percent of people that play both almost equally Mm-hmm. So you can't ignore That that direct feed side that that that and again Like like people feared obviously this could all be for nothing. We could find oh, it's 1080p 60 fps. Somehow they did that Or even if it's not 10 I don't anybody expects 1080p 60 But even if it's 720p 60 or even if it's like the same settings, but it's locked 720p locked 30 fps Which it might not visually look that much better to you, but you're never gonna You know, they don't want to see the resolution drop to 540 on a 1080p TV. Um So like that would still be an improvement that I think is worth touting Because it's not locked on handheld from what we've seen So if you could have a locked frame rate, you know It makes it sound like you're not taking advantage of anything with docked mode And that's why you don't want to show it because you know it's not going What you see already is pretty much what you're going to see on a tv because when you blow up that image on a tv And it's running at 540p On a 1080p like even my 32 inch tv is running at 540p half the resolution. Yeah of my tv Oh, no, no, no, I just want to go back to the original boom. No Yeah, what am I playing playing the 90s version? Yeah, and that might even look better because I I could run that at 1080p And and that's I think the fear and the thing is that fear shouldn't exist I understand the fear of the reviews, but that was I was setting a new I think I do that with all their games now Um, no reviews can release until the day of release Um, so I think it's something to hand out review copies. You just literally can't do anything with it until the day of release So whatever it sucked, but now we know it's a standard. They kind of deal with all their games Uh But this is weird It is weird This is like The imagine that we were getting skyrim, but they never showed us footage of direct feed skyrim. They have It hasn't meant a lot, but it's there Right. Um, they've been a little weird with is it the remastered version? Is it not? Is it a hybrid of it? Um Yeah, they've been a little weird with that But at least we've seen like, you know, it was showed off initially as off-screen when they revealed the switch But we've seen people direct feed playing it Yeah, and it's skyrim. It's a game everyone knows everyone's played a zillion times dude was only been out a year Skyrim's been on five. Yeah skyrim released on systems worse than switch So we can actually look back to those systems and be like it's gonna at least look like that. Yeah Right, you came out 11 11 11 Um, nice. Yeah, like it's been on systems that are worse than switch So like we have an idea that it bare minimum. It's gonna look like a the 360 version Um, bare minimum like the worst possible scenario Yep Uh Doom has never been on anything worse than a PlayStation 4 or xbox one You can argue lower mpcs, but even lower mpcs are generally more powerful Like their minimum specs for doom is basically more powerful than xbox one until these are important anyways So we've never seen anything on lower specs So we don't know At all what to expect beyond right now 30 fps 720p That's a variable and the thing is doom was variable on like it wasn't always a constant 1080p on PlayStation 4 xbox one either It did but it the reason that they vary it is to maintain the frame rate But like that's what's so frustrating about what people have seen in handheld mode is if you're gonna You're already cut the frame rate in half and you're running a variable Uh resolution and it still can't stay locked at 30 That has some people concerned and Again dev builds early builds. We don't know but How close are we to release now and we just these aren't questions we should be asking anyway So strange. I imagine if uh all all that talk we did about seemingly chronicles 2 We just haven't seen any direct feed footage yet or odyssey Tabletop mode only oh my hand you're hurting me now You've been awful They would have been so bad this thing I'm I have doom pre-ordered I plan to pick it up day one assuming I have the funds to pay off my free order if I don't pick up day one It'll be like the next week It's one of the third party games. I'm planning to get Uh, but unless I have it paid off day one I could easily pull my money off that pre-order for someone else if it comes out that Yeah, the game uh in handheld mode You know how you you thought you saw, you know a couple frames here and there Actually, it dips down into the team sometimes and when you play it on uh Doct mode where it should be better. They didn't make any differences So it still dips into the teams and it still doesn't stay at 720p and um They've been I don't know like everyone says oh panic button does you know is becoming a switchport expert Huh They're gonna be proof is in the morning name proof is a panic button proof is in the yeah, they're gonna be hitting that panic button Hey Oh, that's a good that's a good pun over there. Yeah, all right. Good job.  So And I this is my job We can't afford the one game the one third party game people keep hyping up It's one of those things that it's I can afford it. It's whether or not I should actually yeah Well, yeah, it's it's it's not like Right, right exactly I'm living at my parents. So so yes Yes, you have the point is is that If it wasn't for student loans, right? Oh, yeah for sure government for sure. Um, you would be fine. Yes But I mean, aren't you worried I'm like, I don't want to be worried by the way I've been defending doing this whole time until this conversation. I'm like, wait a second. No direct few footage What's up with that? Yeah, I'm worried for them. Yes Um, because this could easily be all put to put to bed put to rest. Whatever you want to call it If if they would just come out and say, yeah, here's here's the Major details. This is exactly what's going on and this is what it's going to be You know, and it may not be the best But this is what we're doing and and you know, my my concern Obviously the concern in general for switch owners is that we want third party support. We want tons of it. Uh Um Doom is a game that came out a year ago. So there's no need to reason to rush it to market if you could do better Yeah, that's that's very true If it's a big if because again game was never built for this low of tech So, I mean, maybe this is the best they can do. Um I don't know. I mean they keep telling us to focus on the fun. Okay, that's fine Yeah, but give us something to Show that it's timing too because it is so close to skyroom's release Yeah To release the same company within a week It's like space amount if there's technical problems. So people want to say, why don't you worry about sky it's sky. Yeah Okay, it's skyrim and again, there's versions of it on worse hardware. There isn't for doom We have no preset expectations for it beyond what's available on other systems Which is going to be vastly superior for obvious reasons that they are more powerful systems Um, so I don't know I worry because I think that doom It's such a good game That the idea of a portable doom that you can also dock on your tv Is so appealing to so many people that I think that's why the video about panic button trying to defend themselves blew up so much Not because people are mad at panic button, but because they want to believe Yep They want to believe that they ported this super amazing triple a game That is as current gen as it can possibly get for a game Over to a platform that uh shouldn't by any rights or means be able to play it and made a passable experience That's what I want to believe But I worry when they won't show off the mode that actually has the most power Because maybe panic button doesn't fully know how to take advantage of that power in any meaningful way Um, maybe because the easiest way to port games is to build it for the lowest common denominator. That's portable mode great Um, and if that's all they did if they weren't allowed allowed the time like we're scouting coming out I can't see that but that's it would be like hey, we can really do an early spring If if we can get a little extra out of that dock mode Um, instead of my piece. Oh, we'll patch it later like No The game's already older game. You don't have to rush it. Great But it's just like if we're if we're gonna get resident evil seven, you don't have to rush it It already came out. Just do it right do the best job you can and port it Um, anyways, we'll see maybe my concern is nothing I've been defending them for this entirety of the thing because I think 30 fps and 720p is a pretty acceptable Um, yeah, great as long as it's constant. Yeah constant Like I'm not saying I don't want 60 60 matters. I get it for some people. It's just unplayable at 60. That's fine You have platforms to play it on that do 60 Um, your dream of having it at 60 on the go just isn't going to exist right now um but I also recognize the limitations of the hardware Any current gen game that runs at 60 fps and 1080p and other platforms is not going to be able to pull that off on switch So I accept that I'm okay with that My issues example with mba 2k 18 were all the bugs And miss and a couple missing features like the ability Play with friends online or that they added that now, but at the time you could play with friends online um, and don't forget the Basically the microtransaction the microtransaction like like the criticism I had of or basically the same criticisms everyone who bought the game on any platform had Yeah, I did note that it was a little jarring playing the demo in 60 fps on xbox one and the jumping to 30 But I also said after playing, you know like a week later after playing at 30 on switch for a week I started not to notice the differences between the fps as much definitely there Definitely was smoother. It's definitely a better game on xbox But it ended up not bothering me as much as I thought it would And that's fine. I I have now accepted that frame rate as being an acceptable way to play the game So that means I can't accept it would do I know I can not everyone can If you own a 60 fps count like if I own a via 2k atm xbox 5, I'd probably never play on switch because it is better on xbox but I I don't I just play the demo. I bought it on switch. I wanted to support third parties and switch Maybe I chose a bad game, but then again, I don't know. I love mba I'm gonna be playing it for the next half of one as long as the bucks are alive for the playoffs I'm gonna be playing it and they should be a playoff team even though they're 500 at the time of recording Hopefully by the time you guys hear this part of the episode. They've won like the next four games and right We're rocking number one in the east or something. But hey, I can't say we have a better record than the calves. Yeah Hey at this point. That's like four or five in a row. It's crazy. Yeah, I don't know LeBron Get your team together de wade. Love you man. Come on. Yeah Stop comparing this to the miami heat situation just because you and LeBron were on that team but you were also like five to This would be comparable to the to the 2014 miami heat if it was If isiah thomas de wade Oh, no, sorry because de wade won't be considered part of the big three now So if isiah thomas kevin love and lebron james were all healthy. This is more comparable to Kyrie Irving and lebron james zero one two superstars And this time it's kevin love lebron james Um And nothing because you're other best you're actually technically your second best players hurt Yeah, and isiah thomas supposedly we'll see he's supposed to be your Kyrie Irving placement. We'll see what happens Huh, I love the NBA Again, that's why I'm like I regret supporting the game. I did but then I know I'm gonna play it a ton. So right Whatever get it on switch. See I'm of mind that every game should come to switch Yeah, no, yeah for sure because it's just too damn convenient remember earlier in this podcast folks when I said uh Not only am I playing a greater variety of games because I run nintendo prime But I'm finding more time to game because of the switch That's exactly why I want every game on switch because I'm not going to be able to find the same amount of time to play games on PlayStation 4 and xbox one or even pc Thank you nintendo Thank you Maybe I should have saw the light with vita. I don't know. Yeah, maybe I should have but sony screwed the pooch Vita is pretty cool I never owned one But I was always jealous of people that have one And then so and then I felt awesome. I was one of those fanboys at the time. I'm like, haha Sony screwed the pooch with a device that should have shattered the 3ds Yeah Just wrecked 3ds 3ds was off to a slow start after the initial launch month Uh, nintendo was just screwing the pooch with it and then sony just had to go one up nintendo They pulled a microsoft like with xbox one. I just killed that platform So bad. Oh my gosh. I feel so bad for people who bought a vita. It should have been great One of the things actually like most about it is that it is such a great backwards compatible PSP and ps1 classics machine Yep, and a lot of people loved about it as well as they're like, it's the best way to play indie games And I'm like, yes now people are saying that about switch, which is great, but it's like, yeah Yeah, I I hear you Um, but yeah, that's gonna do it for this week's episode of the podcast I want to thank everyone for tuning in. I'd say this ran long, but it really just ran about the same time that by guests usually runs Yeah, uh, so thank you guys so much for tuning in check us out at patreon.com slash nintendo prime Uh Support us there $5 month early access to this very podcast the full audio version Uh, we do release it. I think a day or two later the full audio on pod bean Which is available as an app on android. I know you guys want it through some other services Still working on it. Hopefully by 2018. I'll have that launched I could also get an itunes. We'll have links to all this down in the description Um on youtube anyways, obviously if you're listening to this on itunes or whatever There's no links because you're already listening to it that way. Um Yeah, and obviously go check out 5j. Uh, I do want to end this by saying Uh, we hit our goal 5j is over 300 subs Hey, nice. Yeah quite a bit over Yeah, very nice like 311 was last I saw I don't know if it's gone up since then So at least 315 today 315. Okay. So still climbing go over follow him. He does great work streams for us on weekends Although he's going to be going on a little trip for the next couple weeks Um, but that's okay. That happens. We real life. Right real life first. There'll be a day That's okay. There's not gonna be a day. I don't post but there'll be a day. There will be a day something's gonna happen Um, like as an example, I know that tomorrow my grandpa is going in for Uh, to get his heart looked at so obviously something bad happens there Yeah, I'm probably gonna vanish for a couple days and you guys will we'll we'll get an update and understand after the fact Of course, hopefully hopefully. Yeah, I mean we'll see We'll see I always worry about my family members sometimes because I I'm one of the fortunate people that I'm in my 30s And all my grandparents are alive Sure I mean I should I say fortunate but like I guess maybe that's not so odd anymore with people having kids and teenage years these days Yeah, right. So I don't know. Maybe it's really not that odd But it feels odd to me because most of my friends don't have their grandparents around anymore Um or have very few of them. They don't have all of them. Um Yeah, so anyways, go follow 5j Uh 5j gaming. That's all that's all I always find is youtube channel. I'm subscribed to it. Yeah, I always just type 5j gaming in search I'm subscribed to too many channels. I think takes me forever to sift through my my subscribe list Um, he does live streams over there all the time Like all the time, but even on weekends when he streams for us, he still streams on his channel Like after like or before no after I think after like a power streamer All weekend baby and all week Guys on constantly streaming That's why he's so far ahead more than odyssey because he could stream it like seven days a week Yeah, it's not that often. But yeah It feels it feels that often to me And I say that because like, oh jeez. I streamed three days a week And and like people like what do you mean the center five streams all the time You stream Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 5j, Saturday, and Sunday. That's most of the week Yeah, but that's not me the whole week. Yeah, well he streams almost as much as I do On my channel Oh And obviously mr. Eric Moore over here the old reliable you could follow me absolutely nowhere, so Yeah, you know what um, I should tell my editor, uh He's not gonna hear this to the final part of this Maybe he'll get it in for the final part on the video for for my thing when it pops up and you do atonate chance That's fine. That's my twitter for him do at ninty prime Oh, yeah So we never advertise the fact that we have an actual nintendo prime twitter. There's that there you go So literally his only job here is nintendo prime So advertise nintendo prime. That'd be great. Um, eric doesn't use twitter doesn't read twitter, but you know Maybe I'll convince him. I'll be like, hey, look you check this once in a while. Yeah, who's crapping on me now? Yeah, right? Um, yeah, someone's always crapping on me somewhere Somewhere if it's not me somebody else Someone's got to fill in for the the five days that we might not chat unless like an injury happened And you're like, oh, who's oh, yeah, you're like, did you hear about the shamots and I'm like, no Oh, that sucks. You're right. Well, there goes the Texan sea, right? And he hope I had a gg1 coming back with them still in the playoff home.

Welcome back to the AI for Good Global Summit here in Geneva, where I'm now joined by Alexander Eranova from Moscow, who runs Deputy Director General of GLONASS, and you've come here to talk about saving lives in cars thanks to AI. Yes. I came here to talk about our system. It's the unique system in Russia, and we have a lot of plans to modernize this system with the help of AE, so I would like to present these plans here. And what is it you're presenting exactly? It's exactly about saving lives on the road. In medicine we have a term Golden Hour. It's the time, it's an hour, from accident, traumatic accident, to the arrival of medicine teams to the place, or maybe to the medical treatment. So our goal is to minimize this time. And we need to use AE, we need to connect with different informational systems called centers and other and other to put the real risk team, which helps each case. And have you said, how long has it been running already, you're using it already in Russia, right? Yes, we're using it already in Russia, but I'll try to describe. Now we have, now in Russia, every car has a terminal of aeroglonass of our system inside the car. You can, if you are in the accident, you can push the button by yourself, but if the damage is strong, the button connects with us automatically. So now we have to, we do everything in blind regime, you know, the button automatically connected with us and we think that driver is not okay. So that's why we have to call risk team, medicine team, fire team, and somebody who can help with an accident on the road, maybe a lawyer advisor. But sometimes we don't need all of them. We just need maybe only a medicine team or only a risk team or maybe nobody. So that's why we need AE to understand who we need to call and what equipment they need to take. And I think you told me before we spoke on camera that you're saving lives already. Yes, already we, we already saved about more than the thousand lives already. Okay, great. Well, that's Alexandra Aranova from GLONASS coming here for the first time. Thanks very much. Thank you very much.


5 reasons why narcissists target you. The narcissist targeted you for several reasons. They selected you. They picked you out of a group of people. They were drawn to you. They were attracted to you because they could see that you offered something of interest to advantage.  They developed an obsessive attachment to you. They become preoccupied with you to where they were unable to think about anything else. And when this happens, they become arrested in development because they're paying attention to you exclusively and obsessively, rather than focusing on themselves so they don't move on. They stay stuck in this state, sometimes for the rest of their lives, to where they're always thinking about you in a way that is not reasonable. They're constantly giving all of their attention to you and there are several reasons why they do this, which will help you to learn more about yourself and it will help you to understand why they specifically targeted you instead of someone else. One, resistance. This is potentially the number one trait that extracts narcissists because they love a challenge or test. It makes them feel special and important when they can turn a note into a guess and you will notice that they're not really concerned about people who don't resist them. That doesn't interest them because there's no incentive for them unless it's just someone they're going to use for sexual purposes. But when they're looking for long-term supply they need to fight. They need a battle. They need something that they have to overcome so they actually enjoy it when a target initially shows resistance and opposition. It attracts them. They're like rapists. They enjoy engaging activities without your consent or agreement but they're also very arrogant and delusional so they're making agreements in their heads without your knowledge or awareness and if their minds that justifies it, that means that it's okay because they've already told themselves that you want it or that it's good for you or that they're meant to elevate themselves at your expense because they're more important. So believe it or not they actually enjoy it when you resist them. They get off on it. It turns them on. It makes them want you even more because they love the chase. It's like cat and mouse and they were trying to trick you into making a mistake so that they have an advantage over you because then they can feel like they've won. They've defeated you. They've overpowered you. When they see that you're trying to refrain from doing something tempting or unwise that tells them the game is on and it's a competition that they have to win because you become this forbidden fruit. This thing that they desire all the more because it is not allowed to innocence. The narcissist is drawn to your innocence, to your guiltlessness and blamelessness, to your purity and lack of sin, to your lack of wickedness and corruption, to your honesty and humility because they're the exact opposite of that. So they desire these qualities and traits in their target. Narcissists are immoral and corrupt. They're dishonest and fraudulent. They deceive people in you dishonest methods to achieve their objectives so they take pleasure in being around someone who is free from immorality because then they can live vicariously through that person and then they can feel pure. They can feel like they're not the monster that they actually are which doesn't really make any sense because a deceptive dishonest person, target any person who is innocent is immoral in itself but this is what narcissists do to maintain their self image. They have to target innocent people but when they do that after some time it will begin to reflect badly on them. It will begin to bring their flaws and mistakes to the surface and that is when they will have to reverse the rules in you. They will have to label you as the wicked and immoral person so that they can save themselves and their own emotions so that they can feel like they're free from fault or wrongdoing because all they're actually doing when they do this is they're just running from themselves.  They've robbed you of your innocence. Three, non-conformance. The narcissist targeted you because you don't comply with social norms. You don't comply with the unwritten rules of beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that are considered acceptable in a particular social group or culture. You don't conform to standards that are usual, typical or expected. You act differently to everyone else. You're socially distant. You avoid social interaction with people who you perceive as being different to yourself. You maintain a safe and appropriate distance from other people and it may be because of your own choice or because a narcissistic parent or partner isolated you but for whatever reason you don't conform. You reject their proposals and ideas. You live in your own truth, high standards. You have your own set of standards. These levels of qualities or attainments, these moral rules that you expect to be obeyed and this may include dimensions such as social class, race, ethnicity, gender or sexuality but you prefer to mix with a certain group of people and the narcissist will notice it. They will immediately pick up on it and it will draw them to you because they want to be the exception. They want to be the person who is excluded from the general statement or rule. They want to be seen as someone who is special, important rather than feeling like someone who is left out. So they will target you for this reason because they see it as a challenge and they have to win. They have to come out on top. They have to be more successful than the other people that they are competing with because then that tells them that they are still relevant and superior which is what they want because they are seeking status and power. 5. Authenticity. The narcissist targeted you because of your authenticity, because of your genuineness and originality, your quality of being real and true. You are able to be yourself. You could behave in a natural way rather than pretending to be different and this makes you stand out. It makes you stick out like a sore thumb because a lot of people are not being themselves. They are not being authentic. They are under the influence of other people instead of choosing their own path. But you have an inability to hide your true interests and feelings and it is written all over your face. It is clear what you are feeling because when you are being authentic people can read you like an open book. It is easy for them to know what you are thinking because you wear your heart and your sleeve. You make your feelings and emotions obvious rather than hiding them because that is just you being you. You show your intimate emotions in an honest and open manner and the narcissist will pick up on that and in the beginning it may seem as though we respect and appreciate your authenticity but then they will turn against it because it will reflect badly on them.   You need to enforce strong boundaries. You need to recognize where you end and they begin. You need to know who you are. You need to develop your confidence in your own qualities and abilities. You need to practice self-love and self-care because the very things that they discourage you from doing are the very things that are actually your greatest offense against narcissists and what they're trying to do to you and what they're trying to do to you is make you do the opposite of what you're already doing. They're trying to crush your resistance. They're trying to rob you of your innocence. They're trying to make you conform to their standards and ideals. They're trying to make you accept standards that are lower than what you would normally accept and they're trying to destroy your authenticity or make you think that you're inauthentic because of what these things reflect back to them. It triggers them. It makes them reflect of their own insecurities and efficiencies. It makes them feel like desperate and moral corrupt and inauthentic people who will accept and tolerate anything which is exactly what they are because they have no values or moral compass but they will assign these traits to you so that they can feel better about themselves so that they can maintain their false image because no matter how wonderful of a person you are the narcissist will always choose their false self over you. If they didn't do that they wouldn't even be a narcissist. Thank you for watching.

Hello everyone and welcome to SALCC updates where we report on the activities and events at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. My name is Natalie Julie Fannes, Senior Communications Officer at the College and it's a pleasure to be here with you once again. This is the first in our series of interviews that we are going to conduct here on the National Television Network and we are very happy that you can join us today. I do have a guest that we will be joining later but just before we do that, let me just give you some news about the college, our updates. So we resumed the academic year on September 6th with classes being held online. With the surge in cases, we were not yet able to do our practicals. But since then, we have been able to resume those very needed hands-on experiential learning for our students, especially those in the hospitality, in our health sciences, in engineering and in pure sciences. So the labs and practicals have resumed and they are being scheduled by the lecturers so students just need to be informed. I know a few parents have called and asked. All necessary protocols are in place and we have received approval from the Ministry of Health to be able to conduct our much needed practicals. We are also very happy to report that we are fast-tracking our activities with our students. Last year, 2020, when we had to move online, that was our greatest focus, the academics, but we understand the importance of the holistic development of our students. And therefore our recently formed student experience unit has been on a fast track to get our students active. And we began at the end of September with a clubs and sports fair where our students were exposed to all of the clubs that existed on the campus prior to the onset of the pandemic and even new ones that are being formed. So they're signing up and we are still in the virtual realm, but wherever we can facilitate face-to-face activities, the clubs will be doing so. So we want to encourage all of our students, if you are watching, to just get on to the website. The sign-up sheets are still there for you to become part of a club that is so important. There are service clubs, there are clubs in their area of specializations and there are interest clubs as well. So a lot happening there. In addition, our counseling unit has also been very active. They recognize suicide prevention day. Only Sunday was the observance of mental health day and there was a webinar for the students to participate in for our entire college community as well. In addition, they will also be hosting university prep sessions as well as exam prep sessions. So all of that information you can find on our social media pages. So whether you are a student or you're just a member of the public interested in the activities of the college, we want to encourage you to follow our social media pages because there is always a lot of information on there, as well as our website, salcc.edu.lc. We are now in the very culturally active month, Moire-Héritage-Cueil, that we, and I love that there's madras behind me as I speak. Because again, the college will not be left behind where that is concerned and we are in the throes of organizing a talent expose for our college community. Primarily we have participants from our students, student community, but also we have engaged our alumni and we also have a few staff members who will be part of that. And we will be telling you more about that later in the month. But it will be a virtual showcase that you can participate in or that you can view in the areas of dossier, chaote, poetry. I have to bring in the English and the Cueil here. Even traditional games, there's a focus on our choice of guests who brought music to our schools. So definitely we are moving full steam ahead with engaging our students, keeping their minds occupied, giving them diversions that will help with their mental wellness and we are on board with that. So Moire-Héritage-Cueil, we will be featuring later in the month all of the activities and the date on which we will showcase our virtual talent expose. So back to our academics, we do have some good news coming in for the new semester. Again, the pandemic has turned things around for quite a few organizations. As you would know, CXC results are still pending. I think they should be out this week and the college adapted as we needed to in order to facilitate our intake of students for the 2021-2022 academic year. So in lieu of the CXC results, we did have our own entrance exam and we also used the results of our students in their fourth and fifth form years from their transcripts in order to facilitate their matriculation into the college. So we are speaking academics and the best person to speak about that of course is the registrar of the college. And we do have a new registrar that I will introduce to you today but before we do so, I really want to celebrate and recognize our recently retired registrar of almost 30 years at the South Alois Community College. Ms. Beverly Josie served with distinction at the college, at the helm. You know, the registry office and I'll let our new registrar tell me. It's like the brain. All the cerebral processes of the academics goes through that unit and there are several key responsibilities that they have, including Ms. Josie served as the secretary to the board of governors for 20-something of those 30 years while she served at the college. So we really want to say thanks to Ms. Josie. She was celebrated in the summer upon her retirement, but we still want to wish her well and thank her for her service to the college. And on that note, it is my pleasure now to introduce to you the person who has replaced her. He worked with us as assistant registrar for a number of years and he was quite the person to fit into the shoes of Ms. Beverly Josie, having worked with her for a number of years. So it's my pleasure to introduce today Mr. Ian Menville, who is registrar of SALCC. Welcome Ian and thank you so much for joining me this afternoon. Thank you, Natalie. I'm happy to be here. Great. So I just referenced Ms. Josie, who was registrar for almost 30 years. And you worked with her for a number of years before assuming this year. Well, just a little bit about your interaction with Ms. Josie. I joined the college in August of 2012 and as the assistant registrar, so I worked directly with Ms. Josie for about eight years before her retirement. And I've learned a lot from her. I'm a very instrumental person in the terms of the decisions or the way she made some of the decisions that she had to make academically and looking at the college and not putting the college in any compromising position. But as we're looking at the students and their academic success as well. So I have learned a lot from her over the years and my intention is to continue along that path to bring the college into a high standing, wherever it has been itself or lowest has been mentioned. Great. It's good to know that. And I think you've been at the college through some transitions. You were out for about a year. But you left, I think, with us having divisions and you returned to us having departments and having to make some changes that are necessary. So just share with us as incoming registrar some of your thoughts and maybe the new responsibilities and when you see the college in the near future. Well, the transition not occurred. I left the college and I took a leave of absence. From the college in 2020, August of 2020 to take up an opportunity with the OECS commission for a year subsequent to which I came, I returned to the college. And yes, like you said, there was a bit of a number of changes that occurred during that year I was out. And but I imagine they wouldn't necessarily to because of the new programs that are being offered. We have new programs based on the climate change a lot of entrepreneurial programs, digital-aged tailored programs and which was very different from what was being offered to students in the past. So I imagine that thrust, that thrust looking at the future was very necessary at the time. And with the new incoming principle that he actually had some type of focus looking at the future in hand. So it's hopefully with those new changes that brings the offer really into the future looking at the next 20 years down the road. So it was those changes were very necessary and very timely. I'm very sad. Great. Speak to us, Mr. Benville, about some of your responsibilities as registrar, not should people understand the work that we're doing to you. Well, as the registrar of an institution like South of Lois, we basically deal with a lot of aspects of student life within the college. From the time they apply as an applicant into the college to the time they become students, responsible for doing the scheduling of faculty and students. Up until the time the students leave as they graduate the college or they become alumni of the South of Lois coming to college, we have a role to play in all of those processes. And so whereas sitting departments they would have, I would say down times the registries at the unit, this office of the registrar is busy throughout the entire year. Hard to take vacation. Very, very difficult, yes. Okay. So at the beginning of my introduction, I spoke to what let's we need to take a break. I can't really believe that time has gone so quickly. So we will get to the academic adjustment. Please stay with us. My guest today is Mr. Benville. Stay with us for SALCC updates. We'll be right back. In an effort to ensure patient and first responder safety, the St. Lucia Fire Service has reviewed its patient transfer procedures, especially for patients with respiratory distress. Face masks will be provided. At no time during transportation should the face mask be removed. Please be patient and cooperative during this time to ensure you receive the best possible care while keeping our first responders safe. Thank you for staying with us. Welcome back to SALCC updates. My name is Natalie Julie Fannes, reporting on the activities and events of the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. And with me today in studio is Mr. Ian Minville, who is the registrar of the college. And we were just talking about his experience as the new registrar. And I wanted to ask him about the September intake. If you could speak to, I alluded to earlier that we used a different mechanism for students to gain entry into the college. So just tell us what the response to that has been and what our own plan is for the students. Well, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, we've had to work a lot closer with our secondary schools because you'd appreciate that we get most of our incoming applicants from the secondary schools. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a little necessary, again, for us to work directly with and close it with the secondary schools, mainly because the school leaving exam, the CSEC exams that the students would normally undertake got postponed a little, got pushed back a little. And with our academic year, it would usually start in August of every calendar year, every year. The CSEC results would not have been forthcoming when we were doing the processing of those applicants. So it was necessary, like you indicated earlier, to work with the secondary schools and to get the students transcripts from the work they would have done in form four and form five in order to make an assessment of the entry into the various programs offered by the college. So that was, again, a little bit different for us and it allowed us to continue within the determined timelines that we had to work with every academic year. However, this did not have a trust impact on our intake. So we were able to facilitate the incoming students based on the transcripts from the secondary school. We did introduce an entrance exam that we also assessed in math and English areas and based on those requirements, we accepted students for our various programs. We had an intake, we had an applicant pool of, I believe, about 1,309 students applying for entry this academic year. We've accepted a little, I think, just above 800 students into the various programs offered at the college. Okay, great. So for, I know there was a lot of uncertainty as well, not just for entry into the academic year, but even allowing students from certain secondary schools to write the entrance exam. And I know that there were schools that delayed students writing the exams. Did that have an impact on the numbers at all? In terms of, if we have a criteria that has not been met, it would automatically have an impact on a number of persons that are, well, one applied to the college and are too eligible to enter the various programs. So it would definitely have an impact on the numbers, on our numbers in the end. Okay. So I know there's a plan for students who did opt because students did have the option of still using their CXC results. Right. What is the college doing to facilitate those other students who probably did not qualify initially and also those who wanted to wait for their CXC results? So the goal is to always encourage the students to actually do our entrance exam because it facilitates, again, them starting their education a lot sooner. However, if they opted to wait for CXC results, I believe right now CXC results is expected out this week. It is very incorrect. So once we get those results, we have a record of anybody who's applied for entry into August, but they did not write our entrance exam. Once we get those CXC results, we process those applicants, just like we would previously, and then we would give those students an acceptance, a response to the application. So everybody who applied to the college would definitely get a response indicating whether they've made the requirements for the program or not. So once CXC comes along, we get those results and we respond to those students. The expectation is that those students would begin their academic study in January of next year, given that this semester we're right now, we're halfway through the first semester at the college. Also, there would be, I wouldn't say much of a delay for those students, they would just be ending properly the program a semester later than they would have if they started in August of this year. Okay, so within the two-year period? Yes, so they would definitely be completing if they're on track with everything in two years, but you'd appreciate persons who started in August would finish one semester before them. Right, so does that mean that the college would now utilize the summer period for instruction? Yes, the summer period is definitely a semester that can be used to allow those students to, I don't want to say catch up because they're not really catching up, but they would finish sooner than they would have if they did not participate in the summer period. Yes. Okay, great. So traditionally the college, the college's main intakes would be in the August-September period. Yes, definitely. And I know our south campus would normally have a January intake, but that's not the case for the rest of the college. But I understand. That's correct. We are doing it differently this year. So this year we're facilitating again persons who may not have written our entrance exams. However, you should note that not all programs will be offered in January. You would appreciate that the college would have to do some assessment in terms of the numbers coming in January. For example, we usually do not run programs if we have an intake of less than 10. So it's not effective to run a program if we have only three students. It doesn't make any viable sense for the college. In most cases, however, there are in situations where even with low numbers, we would choose we would opt to run a program. So it's not a guarantee, but in which whatever response we communicate, whatever response we give to the issue to the students, we would indicate to them what the situation is with their particular program of study. Okay, so just let me make sure we're clarifying. So there are two processes happening. Students who applied for the September period and who may not have qualified based on our entrance exam, we are going to look at the CXU results. Yes, that's one intake. But we are also opening applications for persons to apply fresh into college for a January period in selected programs. In selected programs, that's correct. That's correct. Great. So this is a second opportunity then that we are giving people who may not have been ready in September for whatever reason or who may not have thought of it, that the college is again trying to meet the needs of the society and will facilitate applications in a January period. That's right, that's right. That is good for some people who may have missed the vote a bit in September. But things happen at different times for different individuals. So applications are open for selected programs to the college. And if you visit our website, then you'll be able to find out exactly what programs are being open for our January period. So that is definitely good news from the registry. I know that's additional work for you. Yes. Academic units. But we do what we should to serve the students of the college, the applicants of the college, yes. All right, great. Okay, so that's our big news and it is big news because we had not done it in the past. So just a little bit more, Mr. Minville. I know too that your office is also involved in the planning of graduation 2021. So again, can you speak a little bit to your role in that process? Within the office of the registrar, we are the ones responsible for letting the students know whether they've met the graduating requirements of the specific respective programs. So an audit or a scholar degree audit would have to be done for every single student of the college. And we use the academic units to verify this information is actually correct. And once you get that verification, we write to the student to let them know. And congratulations. You've met the graduating requirements of your respective program and then we give them the graduation schedule, so to speak. Once that is done, I guess they would do whatever is required to facilitate them attending the actual ceremony, the actual graduation ceremony. So, yeah, so we actually audit every single student and let them know if they're missing a course, what course is missing in order for them to, if they don't meet the graduation requirement, this academic year, they may be able to meet it for the next academic year. So is this process happening as- Yes, we've already started. We've already leased with the various academic units. We were waiting just feedback from a few units in order to now write to the students to inform them accordingly. And that should happen before the end of October? It's definitely, definitely. That should happen before the end of this week. Well, great. So, graduates, they haven't graduated, should expect information from the Office of the Registrar. At latest, next week. Okay, excellent. So that is another function of the Registrar's office. Yes, apart from your intake of students, you're also responsible for exit of the students as well. Can you speak to any other services that you offer in your unit? Generally within the Office of the Registrar, we deal with a lot of student-related matters. For example, if persons would like a transcript, the academic transcript, they would make that request through the Office of the Registrar. An academic transcript would usually be required by an employer, for example, or by somebody seeking entry into another university, another local offering university. They would request those transcripts through the Office of the Registrar. And this document includes all courses pursued by that student while at the college. Before you move on, can you just speak to the process for that? I know that is something that is highly requested, just in terms of how individuals are about requesting it. Right now, we have an online platform that is accessible via our website, www.salcc.edu.lc, where students could actually log on and complete the transcript, request the transcript, pay online, and once the payment is made, we get that request, and then we issue the transcripts after that. How long does that process normally take? Usually, transcripts are processed within three to five days. So if persons are required by a certain date, they need to take that into consideration. Our processing time is between three to five days. So within three to five days of you making that request, that transcript would have been processed and issued to whichever organization that you wanted it to be sent to. Okay, great. Right. Additionally, we do student letters. Usually, persons require letters made before tax purposes of a parent or insurance purposes. We issue those letters to students in the event that a student may require a letter given, have not yet received the actual certificate from the college. They would request what is called a letter of completion, and the Office of the Registry issues a letter on the student's behalf, indicating that they may have completed the program. However, the certificate is pending based on approval by the academic board of the college. So that's just a number of the services that we offer, but students usually come to the Office of the Registrar or write to us for a number of issues. For example, if they have registration issues, they have timetabling issues, they are scheduling issues, they have issues if a lecture, whereas a lecture might be absent or any type of issue. Normally, if we can't facilitate or respond to it immediately, we usually direct them to where they need to get that piece of information from. Great, so it seems like you have a lot on your plate, Mr. Mendel. Yeah, definitely, we do. And I expect that you would do a great job. You have the usefulness in you. Ah, thank you so much. We do have a very young and vibrant team as well that we get all that work done through. So it's a team effort always. It's always a team effort, yeah. So as we round off, I just realized we did speak to opening of applications for the January intake, but we didn't speak to the deadline. Yes, the deadline for this January intake is the 30th of October. We need to have a very tight deadline because of all the processing that is required, so it's unfortunate we can't extend it past that, anytime past that. So the deadline, 30th of October 2021, 2021, yes. 2021. Great, for a January 2022 intake. So there you have it. The South Alois Community College is opening applications for the January 2022 in selected programs. This is the first time that we are actually doing that for programs other than those offered in our South Campus. It has been a pleasure being here with you.

I took a class on mindfulness years ago and it strongly resonated with me. Forests have a lot of feelings and were gifted at intensifying those emotions. At my unhealthiest, a small sadness can balloon into a whirlpool of self-hatred. But when I'm healthy, the forest's greatest gift, emotional balance, shines forth. I can view my feelings with objectivity. That's mindfulness. There's no judgment or allowing negative thoughts to fester. I take it in and I let it out. Mindfulness is the gift I give to myself, which becomes a gift to others. It is grace.


In this video, I want to briefly talk about shafts. So shafts are probably the most common component that we would encounter in a machine. Really, they're a structural component that serve to provide support for other things that we might talk about, gears, pulleys, any sort of transmission device, power transmission device. Shafts then take in torque, output torque, and are used as part of the power transfer system. So we talk about shafts in a variety of contexts, and shafts have already been covered when we talk about fatigue or just static loading, beam loading, things like that. So shafts can take a lot of different types of loads. They might be subject to axial loads, torsion loads, bending loads, and any combination thereof. So we might put together all of those different loads at the same time. And we have to know how to handle that from a stress calculation standpoint. So with that in mind, there's kind of two special considerations that I want to think about or talk about beyond that basic stress calculation that we would normally do. And the first is that we have to remember that shafts have rotational inertia themselves. So as a shaft is rotating, that shaft has mass, and that means that there is inertia behind that rotation, especially when we're talking about high speed rotations. So there's something called critical speeds, and that is when a shaft is rotating about its rotation center, but its mass center is not necessarily in the exact alignment with the rotation center. And that could be due to the components that are mounted to it, the shaft manufacturing or just being slightly out of balance, things like that. So that means that because that those two things are not perfectly aligned, and they pretty much never will be, that there is likely to be a speed at which the small perturbations in that motion of that shaft as it rotates are exacerbated, made much larger. And we're familiar with this idea from the concept of a natural frequency. We know that when we pluck something, or we vibrate something at its natural frequency, we get much larger motion out than at other frequencies. And the same thing is true of shafts. If we were to rotate that shaft at this natural frequency, where there is a critical situation, we can cause it to go unstable and cause large deflections. And we want to try to avoid that. So we'll talk about that in another video. We also want to think about how things are mounted to the shaft. So gears and other components can be mounted to shafts using a variety of methods. We could use keys, we could use set screws, snap rings, splines, and just press fitting. So each of these methods, probably with the exception of press fitting, involves some sort of modification of the shaft. And anytime we're modifying that geometry or doing something to the shaft, we're likely introducing stress concentrations and changing the overall size of the shaft and therefore likely weakening it in some way. So those considerations need to be brought forward as we think about shaft design as well. Thanks.


What is up, you guys? Welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am Bill Penne, the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, we're in the new 2021 Hyundai Accent, courtesy of Jack G Mbalvo, Hyundai and York PA for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so wanted to check this one out today, mainly because the starting price point, actually, of the Accent comes in and right at around $15,000, which is insane considering the prices of cars these days. This is a new car for around $15,000 that is wonderful. And it actually gets better than that because as far as the warranty goes with the Hyundai Accent, you get five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 year, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. So you got extreme peace of mind there. Not only that, you get three years of complimentary maintenance. You do not have to pay for the oil changes to the tire rotations, things like that for the first three years of ownership on this thing. So that is absolutely amazing as well, which in my mind makes this quite possibly the very best buy when it comes to budget cars out there right now, especially when it comes to new cars. So that is wonderful. So for all of those reasons, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so there will be a few different trim levels for the 2021 Accent. First one being the SE, starting at $15,395. SEL, which is the one we are in today, starting at $17,750. And lastly, the limited starting at $19,500. And so regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant is going to be the same. Powering this little beast is going to be a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder, putting out 120 horsepower at 6,300 RPM, 113 pound feet of torque available at around 4,800 RPM. Power sent to the front wheels to a six speed manual for the SE trim level only. That's that bottom price point there. Or an IVT, which is essentially Hyundai's Continuously Variable Transmission or Intelligent Variable Transmission in this case. That transmission comes with the SEL that we have today, the limited and it is optional actually on that SE trim level as well. But so then when it comes to the zero to 60 time, that is going to come in at approximately 8.5 seconds. With MPG numbers coming in at 29 in the city, 39 highway from the manual transmission, then 33 in the city, 41 on the highway for the IVT. So either way, taking regular unleaded fuel but a little bit of MPGs there with the IVT transmission. But before we do any kind of acceleration tests, which we will of course test out in a second year, did want to mention there is a drive mode button just in front of the shifter. When you press that, you have one choice, which is the sport drive mode. It did immediately just downshift for me or simulated downshift, I guess you could say because it is an IVT after all. So it is going to hold the RPMs at a much higher level, giving you more power on demand for merging onto the highway, things like that. So ultimately that sport driving mode is going to adjust the throttle response and the simulated shift points on the accent. So having said that now, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway and let's put the new accent here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed. Here we go. Go Ludacar, go! Dang, winding out these RPMs. Yeah, actually not as bad as I thought it would be, you guys know, it's definitely not the quickest thing in the world, but for a Hyundai accent, I was expecting a lot worse, quite honestly. So actually kind of surprised me, I gotta be honest. So I would say based on the way that felt, you're not going to have any issues merging onto the highway or anything like that, that was, I don't know, it was kind of fun for a subcompact car, I guess you could say, but anyways, to go along with that acceleration test as always, braking is equally important. And so I wanted to emphasize when it comes to the braking, the braking configuration is actually going to differ depending upon the trim level that you go with.  However, if you jump up to the S-E-L or limited trims, you're already going to get four-wheel disc brakes. Therefore, you're gonna get a much better braking feel, much better braking performance if you were to go with the S-E-L or limited trims. However, having said that this is a subcompact car, so quite honestly, they probably put the front disc rear drums knowing that you're not fully going to need the four-wheel disc brakes necessarily. However, having said that, it is going to give you better braking performance in the end, but all in all, when it comes to that 60 to zero stopping distance, it actually comes in at a fairly respectable 122 feet. Not the very best for a subcompact car, but then again, a lot of times with SUVs and stuff, it can come in at 130s, even upper 130s. 122 feet really isn't all that bad when you think of it that way, so I will say though, the braking feel is definitely on the softer side, so it doesn't have that initial bite that a lot of other compact cars will give you, but still like I said in the end, 122 feet really isn't all that bad for the braking statistic there, but then touching on suspension and handling, upfront you're gonna get a McPherson strut front suspension with gas pressurized shock absorbers in the back torsion beam rear axle with monotube shock absorbers. All in all, as far as the ride quality goes, it's actually a little above average for the subcompact segment, I will say that, so definitely a quite nice ride quality compared to a lot of the other subcompacts that I have driven in its class, like the fit, like the Yaris cars like that, so really the ride quality is above average for this segment. I'll definitely give it that. As far as the steering feel goes, it's actually kinda nice once again, it's just a smaller car, it definitely points you in the direction that you wanna go fairly well. I will say the steering feel isn't quite as nice as let's say the Toyota Yaris, but still definitely points you in the direction that you wanna go, and quite honestly, I'm kinda having fun driving this on the back roads here in Pennsylvania, so definitely quite on point there. As far as cabin noise goes, once you get up in higher speed, you get a little bit of wind noise creeping into the cabin, and of course the engine is kind of noisy as well, especially when you really hit the gas, but then again, this is some compact cars pretty much as expected, so we'll say not the worst that I've ever tested, but certainly not the best either, but touching on visibility then, I can see perfectly fine out the back, usually are not going to have any issues with sedans, and that is certainly in the case with the Hyundai Accent. There's actually a blind spot mirror within the driver's side mirror here as well, I did wanna mention that to you guys, that is going to of course assist with visibility as well, but that about rounds out the performance segment of this review guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this brand new 2021 Hyundai Accent. All right, so here she is you guys, the new 2021 Hyundai Accent finished in admiral blue in the snow. Yes, front wheel drive is definitely doable in the snow, as you can clearly see right here, but anyways, here's where the changes actually come in for the 2021 Accent. There's gonna be a couple different color changes for the 2021 model year. Forge gray now replaces urban gray for this year, and linen beige has been discontinued, so in case anybody was curious about the changes for this one, that's essentially it, but anyways, let's go ahead and start up front on the Accent here. Up front you will get that large front grille with chrome accenting found across the board for every single trim level. Halogen headlights are going to come with the S-E and S-E-L trims. Also the automatic feature for those headlights, meaning when it starts to get dark out, they're gonna turn on automatically for you. That's actually gonna come with the S-E-L trim level that we have today. Also the limited fog lights down below, also for the S-E-L limited trim levels as well, and you will get LED headlights with LED daytime running lights only if you go with the limited trim level. That is the one and only way you can get that. And I do like the chrome accenting found in the fog light portions of the front fascia as well, kind of ties together very well with that front grille. We'll say that. Now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the Accent here. All right, and so now that we are around side of this one, chrome belt line molding will come with the S-E-L trim level and up. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors do come standard with all trim levels. You will actually get integrated turd signals only if you go with the limited trim level. That's how you're gonna get that. Taking a look down at the wheel setup, you will find 15 inch steel wheels with covers for the S-E, 15 inch alloys for the S-E-L, and 17 inch alloy wheels for the limited trim level. So therefore you are looking at the 15 inch alloy wheel design right now in case you were curious. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the back of the Accent here. So swinging around back, you guys could probably see it up there. There is a matte black shark vent antenna. Just below that you do have that Accent lettering of course just above the driver side tail light there. And by the way, LED tail lights only come standard with the limited trim level. That is how you're going to go ahead and get them in case you wanted it. And just below it all of course, there is a single exhaust outlet just tucked away on the passenger side underneath there. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around back of the Accent when it comes to opening that rear trunk there are a few different ways to go ahead and do that. There is a button on the trunk itself. Of course there is also a button on the key fob. And there is a button just underneath the driver side seat as well. That is yet another way to go ahead and open that. But once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 13.7 cubic feet. If that was not enough space there actually is a 60 40 split meaning the rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space there than if he needed it. Then making our way to the rear legroom that comes in at 33.5 inches. So for reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I had back there. And actually that space is acceptable. I will say that. And the cool thing about the back part of the front seats is that it's not a hard plastic and it does have some give to it. So you can push that forward a little bit with your knees if you need a little extra legroom back there as well. So again, this is how much space I had back there. And there is also a passenger side seat bat mat pocket for the SEL trim level and up for a little bit of storage there. And overall seats were plenty comfortable back there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the front seats on the accent. Manually adjustable claw seating actually does come standard across the board for every single trim level. I will say that you will find heated front seats if you were to go with a limited trim level only that's how you're going to go ahead and get that. And once again, seats are plenty comfortable actually believe it or not. So I definitely didn't have any issues there but taking a look at the steering wheel then it is tilt and telescoping. It is wrapped in urethane. So there is no leather wrapped steering wheel available for the accent in case anybody was curious but 10 and two grips are plenty fine. It's pretty much as expected there. Then make our way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here.  And I will say it is a push button start if you go with the limited trim level only otherwise it is actually a traditional key start. It is a switchblade key which is kind of cool but we do actually have that traditional key start of course since we have the SEL trim. So all I'm going to do, simply put my foot on the brake and turn the key. It's a bit then once started up tachometer is all the way to your left speedometer is all the way to your right. There is a small digital display front and center which can be controlled by using the steering wheel mounted controls on the right side of the steering wheel. It does give you things like how many miles you have left until you hit empty believe it or not. It's telling me I got 345 miles left that's pretty cool. Of course trip A, trip B the outside temperature as well which is pretty cool and believe it or not there's actually a small digital speedometer up top there of the digital portion there. Kind of surprised to see that. I don't think I remember seeing that in previous years I've reviewed the accent so I don't know that's pretty cool I like seeing that up there as well but now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. There is a power sun or if that only comes with the limited trim level if you wanted to go that route automatic climate control again only coming with the limited dual USB charging ports coming with the SEL and limited trim levels and there's actually dual 12 volt power outlets up here in front of the shifter as well as an auxiliary port so that was pretty cool to see as well. Just behind that shifter you have dual cup holders and within the center armrest there's a decent amount of storage not the most of course I've ever seen but overall this is a pretty purposeful interior you also have an overhead sunglass holder found on the ceiling here that's always nice and no fancy finishes or anything like that there is a little bit of hard plastic of course but it's pretty much as expected quite honestly it's not that bad considering the price point of the accent so I will say that but let's go ahead now and take a look at the tech display the SE trim level is going to be the trim that's going to give you a smaller screen being a five inch color touch screen display having said that the SEL and limited are going to give you a seven inch color touch screen display I will say either way you still get Bluetooth and audio streaming but to get Android auto and Apple car play you will need to go with the SEL trim level or the limited and so what that is essentially if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the accent via USB cable and it will display free navigation up on that screen as well as the ability to like and dislike and print all our songs the list goes on for other compatible apps as well but that is pretty cool that's definitely something I pretty much always have to have in my cars now so therefore the SEL might be the trim level for you if you wanted free navigation through your smartphone up on that tech screen but also of course you can check out your radio settings up on that screen as well and by the way when it comes to the sound system of the accent you will find four speakers with the SE six speakers with the SEL trim level and the limited so having said that you guys I do believe you know what we have to do next here so let's go ahead and turn on the radio so we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this six speaker sound system we have in our SEL trim level it's not too bad it's pretty much as you would expect a six speaker sound system to sound not the most based in the world but you know what it's a six speaker sound system and it does the trick for the accent you really don't need anything more in a car of this size so anyways not too bad last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech screen though is when you do put the accent in reverse you will find a rear view camera that does come standard for every single trim level across the board letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety and so first thing I wanted to mention with the accent actually this is an IIHS top safety pick for the limited trim level only because it needs those LED headlights to be that top safety pick so I did want to mention that but front side side curtain airbags do come standard in the back you're going to have latch a.k.a. lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats rear child door locks back there as well there is a tire pressure monitoring system that also comes standard there's a driver's side blind spot mirror as I was mentioning to you guys however I will say that only comes with the SEL trim level or limited it will not come on the SE trim so I do want to mention that as well and if you were to go with the limited trim level you will also get a forward collision avoidance assist system as well and so but all in all in the end when it comes to my final thoughts here of the Hyundai Accent this is one of the least expensive new vehicles today with perhaps the best value seeing as it comes with three years of free maintenance that's going to save you some money there's that 10 year power trade warranty so for 10 years at the engine brakes at the transmission brakes you got peace of mind that's going to get fixed for free once again so really that is amazing not to mention the five years free roadside assistance if something were to happen as well so all of that is definitely quite a value when you consider all of that it's also kind of nice that a subcompact can achieve an IHS top safety pick although you do have to go with the top trim level to get that but still it's kind of refreshing to see that as well I'd personally pick the SEL trim level on this one quite honestly because that's the one that gives you the Android Auto Apple CarPlay so that's definitely the trim level that I personally would go with not to mention the four wheel disc brakes as well and overall interior quality is actually pretty good again considering the price point the only other option that I would consider in the subcompact segment right now quite honestly is the Toyota Yaris because it's a collaboration with Mazda so therefore it has an amazing steering field also has incredible reliability because it's a Toyota of course and the Honda Fit is pretty nice as well there they're going to stop making that now for the US at least not in Japan but however I will say that one is a little more expensive when it comes to the subcompact market so I did want to mention that as well but overall very solid pick especially when you consider the value the Hyundai Accent very well might give you the very best value in this particular segment so I will say that but that about rounds out this review guys thank you so much for watching for free to follow me on social media at the bottom
