Done working out, got dressed, put on some fun stuff, breakfast on the water, and then beach. Breakfast for you. Breakfast for you. How nice is this lobby by the way? Yes, you're this. It's like royalty. I know, I mean chandeliers. So this is our current setup at the beach and as you can see this is my study setup here. Then we have the lovely ocean here. Trying to see weed out today which I don't know why they haven't tilled that up for us. But whatever. We're just going to chill here and study and try not to sweat it up. But yeah, I wanted you guys to see my study setup. This is what you do on a study vacation. You just sit here and read at the pool or at the beach. I'm kind of just making this up but that's what we do. For dinner, last night in Palm Beach. So we just got back from dinner and we went to an amazing restaurant called Bukan. So if you need any recommendations for restaurants at Palm Beach, Bukan, that place was freaking amazing. Delicious. Delicious. Now we're back in the hotel. This is our last night and yeah, this is all we're doing. Once again, how pretty are the aesthetics? I know the aesthetic goals in this hotel. So what exactly is a study vacation anyways? Well, in short, I don't really know. But what I do know is that sometimes you need a little change of scenery when you study every single day all day long. So I think this is a pretty good change of scenery. For me, studying all day long every single day, you get kind of bored looking at the same table or the same books or what not. So sometimes you just need a change of pace. And like I said, if I just study all day long, what does it matter where I am? I might as well be at the beach and get a nice tan while I study. So Han, how did you enjoy your study vacation? So all in all, I think the study vacation went pretty well. I don't think I got as much done as I would have gotten done if I stayed at home. But I think just being here and being on the beach and kind of being refreshed, it gives me kind of like a way to clear your mind and start at new. Yeah. Now my mind is clear. I did get a ton of studying down here. I read a lot, but I think now I'm ready to get back and kind of clear headed and can really start grinding the next three weeks before boards. So I think it was pretty much a good success for me. Success. Yeah. So did you enjoy your study vacation? Absolutely. I was able to read my book, get a tan, drink some margaritas all while being on the beach. Yeah. I don't really know how that worked out, but I guess she got the best end of the deal for this study vacation. Hashtag supportive wife. Yeah. Supportive wife. She just sits on the beach while I study. So we are unfortunately heading back home today. We are flying out, but we did get the last little bit of sunshine and beach time earlier today. And now we must head home. So if you liked the video, make sure you smash that like and subscribe button and give it a thumbs up. Leave a comment below. If I like it, I'll respond to it. Otherwise, we'll see you on the next video.


Okay, so nothing has happened to me. At least I don't think it has. I'm not even sure anymore.  Well, I guess they're all pretty much the same thing. I don't think I'm crazy, sure I see things, but who doesn't? Enough of that though, I'm beginning to get ahead of myself. So I'll start again. It happened about a year ago, sometime in the summer of 2012. I didn't really have anything to do, my girlfriend had just broken up with me, so I didn't feel like seeing the few friends I had. I was just sort of there, alone, tired and not really feeling anything. To pass the time, I would often log onto my computer and do the usual.  It happened on a day like this, just a normal day for me. Scrolling up and down, laughing at others. It was on this day I saw someone had posted a link, it wasn't some dodgy website or from someone I didn't know. It was from this guy called Michael who attended my college, not that it's important, well maybe it is but I don't know, I'm going off topic again. The link was just to a YouTube video of a guy reading some kind of short horror story. I was going to click straight off it, I've never really been fond of things like that but I saw how many likes it had and the positive feedback it had been getting. I started watching.  The background was very low-key, dark, and I thought I saw outlines within the darkness. I don't know exactly what they were but I felt an easy looking at them. The most disturbing thing was the expression on the boy's face. He was permanently smiling. I say permanently because from what I could see, his smile was carved in his face. He also had empty sockets where his eyes should have been. It wasn't terrifying, just unsettling to say the least. The narrator of the video began to speak. His voice was kind of, I don't really know how to put this, but I guess you could say it wasn't Irving yet comforting at the same time. Perhaps I should have stopped there. Of course my curiosity and boredom got the better of me. The story was okay, nothing outstanding yet still pretty creepy. If I had just stumbled upon this and read it for myself, I doubt I would have ended up in the condition I am now. It was due to the atmosphere the narrator had created. His voice was accompanied by that unsettling picture along with the music playing in the background. I forgot to mention the music. This really drew me in. As soon as I heard it, I just felt so hopeless and so full of dread. It was really just the icing on the cake. It was all just perfect, it was disturbing. Then I saw he had other videos. I began watching them one after another, listening to his every word, and every time the same feeling would just flow through me. Maybe it was due to boredom, curiosity, or because of how I had been feeling lately. I don't know, but the videos, listening to them, experiencing them within my head just, it just gave me a sort of rush. It's safe to say I was starting to become addicted. The videos became a substitute for porn. Before, I would often find myself jerking one out every time I logged onto my computer. Now I would always end up watching one of the narrator's videos. When the summer was over and I had returned to my computer, I would always end up watching one of the narrator's videos. When the summer was over and I had returned to college, I began neglecting my work and my attendance dropped significantly, almost to the point of being suspended. My friends at that point, they were strangers to me. I hadn't spoken to them in weeks, I just didn't feel like it. I didn't feel like doing my work, going out, or even flirting with girls. I just didn't care. At least I still had the narrator and his videos. My addiction grew to the point that I would dream about the characters within the stories. The monsters became real to me, they were in my mind. In the dreams I would often find myself being stalked by a tall figure in the woods, or I'd see a pale man at the end of my bed, or, I don't even know. This whole portion of my memory is just a blur and the dreams have all merged together into just one horrifying nightmare. All I know is I couldn't stop watching them. They terrified me, but I had to listen. I had to sustain whatever was making me want, no not want, need. Whatever was making me need to listen, I had to obey it. A few months after that, I was expelled from my college due to extremely poor attendance and neglect of work, accompanied by aggressive and disrespectful behavior. Who could blame them, right? I could.  That's what I told my teachers. I told them it was his fault. Fearing something was wrong with me, the college sent for a doctor. I ended up being recommended to a therapist, at least. I think it was a therapist. My mind isn't too clear right now, but I don't think he helped that much. In fact, I think he made it worse. He made me tell him about the stories. I told him all about the narrator and I even showed him the YouTube channel with the videos on. He told me what I already knew. They were just stories, just images with music and a narrator. Of course I knew that. I still know that to this day, not once have I ever doubted that they are just stories. I mean, stories are just fiction, they are not real and you can't make something real by thinking that it is, can you? Could it be possible that my thought.mind made these monsters real? It made them haunt me, it made me, insane. At least that's what my therapist had said. He told me that these videos had affected me subconsciously at a point when I was vulnerable, when I wanted to feel bad. He said it was all in my mind and that he would help me. I only saw him about three times. On the last time I went he said something to me as I was leaving. Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart. For some reason this scared me, it was like he was in my mind as well, and he knew exactly what I was feeling. That was the last time I saw him. No one came looking for me. Since I was no longer in my dorm, no one knew where to find me, and I could be alone. For the next couple of weeks I thought about contacting the narrator. It would have been easy, just a simple message over YouTube. However, every time I tried, I couldn't. I got as far as who are you. I think your videos have done something to me, I need your help, and then I would delete it. Sometimes I would plead with him for answers, other times I would threaten him and make demands. Still, the same thing happened. There was something in the back of mind, something saying no, maybe somehow the narrator had got in my mind also. Maybe he was just as terrifying as the monsters in the stories. It's been a while since I tried to contact the narrator, I haven't done much since then. I've been doing odd jobs here and there, making money and just trying to survive. I still don't sleep much, but when I do I have nightmares, and when I awake I'm still in those nightmares. I'm finding it difficult to separate my dreams from reality. The other day though, something happened. The narrator uploaded a new video. However, this video was different. I think he was in it. He was wearing a mask, a blue mask with dark eyes and tubes hanging from his mouth. That's all I remember, I can't recall anything after seeing him in the video. I just woke up and it had finished, the video was over. I have no idea what happened to me. I probably passed out but that's never happened before. I never sleep but I've never passed out due to lack of it. That mask stuck with me though. Why was he hiding his face? Was he his spirit? Was he a robot? Was he a virus's patient zero?  I tried to play the video again but my connection was out, at least I think it was. My memory is blurry again, I'm forgetting things. I wanted to be alone but not anymore. I don't have anyone to talk to about it, people ignore me and they think I'm insane but I'm not. I know it's real, it has to be. Sorry, I'm still a little shook up. I know it's not real, it's, they are just stories and it's all in my head. I just, I can't do this anymore. For fuck's sake. Why have I let these, these things take over my life?  They've taken the excitement, the rush I felt before and it's just been warped into fear.  I fail to see the point of anything lately. While live it though you see, all you know is fear. I can't sleep, I don't want to eat and I only do it out of necessity. I barely wash, I'm too scared to even take a shower and I no longer leave the house. I've forgotten so many things, these stories have just taken over my mind. They are the only things I truly know and care for. Strange what the brain chooses to remember. I see things, out of the corners of my eyes. I see people and, and memories. They won't go, they just, they just stay there and stare at me. I keep telling myself that they aren't real, they are not here. This makes them angry, I can feel them all the time. They're watching me right now as I am typing this, they're all here and so is he. Please, please for your own safety do not feed your curiosity, at least not as much as I have. I've lost everything because of him. Just live your life, just, just take it easy. P.S., thank you Mike. Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

Hey guys, it's nice to see you again here on the channel. It's okay, and I actually can't believe that this is my 63rd upload on the channel, but technically it's my 60th for the year 2020 60 videos uploaded on this channel for the year 2020 and I began this year with a very simple mantra Which has provided me with you know the kind of energy that has seen me through quite frankly one of my favorite or one of Best years in a very long time. I would say that it's one of my favorite years of my adult life And I know it sounds a bit odd to say that a year like 2020 has been amazing for you Like dude where you asleep the whole time or what but that's that's the truth for me. I started this year from a New beginning mindset. I had just quit my job in order to start afresh as a freelancer So for me no matter what happened in this year My mantra was to do to learn and to repeat do learn repeats I've tried to embody it in every venture I have attempted and it's paying off for me so far and I had I really had no expectations except following through with you know The ideas that I got and learning from them as much as I could that was all for me I was ready to take in the experience and learn as I go On the part of earning as a freelancer, I honestly didn't expect so much So I guess it's why I'm gonna blown away because I didn't set a target But some way somehow even in the pandemic my needs have been met and have been exceeded So all I have to say is I am very grateful So yeah, let me share some of the lessons I may have picked up on the way this year Just 2020 which may mean a lot to you In 2021 and these are in no particular order of importance, but I found that They may be connected to each other one way or the other. That's why for me It's really important. So the first one is to start to begin I guess in order for everything to add up, we have to start somewhere. That's the truth I made a huge leap into what seemed to be a dark space It didn't make sense before because I didn't know where I was going other than what I had imagined or where I Imagined I wanted to go and this can be likened to you know being confronted with a dark path Which you choose or you chose you have a vision of what lies beyond this path You know where you want to go, but your torch can only see as far as your feet and At this point you have to start moving to shed more light on the rest of the path and what's in front of you so it's Only in taking the first step and the next and the next and the next that you uncover what comes your way and Based on your abilities, you know how to deal with these things that come your way should anything come Whatever your idea is, whatever your plan is, it will just continue to be or remain an intangible part of you until you start Your idea isn't too Difficult it is not too outrageous It's your path and you never know what you can get out of this journey till you take your first step That's what I can say and I use this analogy of the torch here to kind of represent Your abilities the research that will go into this particular thing you want to do and the backup plans that you may have otherwise, you're literally just walking into the dark and That's not fun the second thing is Progress over perfection You don't like this one. What are the things that I'm you know learning to come to terms with this year is the thing that has Always been yes or continues to be the bane or a bane in my life, which is progress over Perfection as another thinker. It's usually the other way around for me. I Prefer perfection over progress Or better still perfection is the only way if it must be done. It cannot fail There's no room for failure. Otherwise, why do it? It has to be done correctly is the best or nothing the end results has to be worth it. Otherwise Why try and I seem to forget that perfection isn't generic and what I think may be perfect it may be mediocre to someone else and The things that you know, I think are my bests that I mean not my best I shouldn't see the light of day turns out rather okay so perfection was only in my head or has only been in my head and this mindset has stopped me from beginning so Many things because I didn't think they'd be perfectly done if I didn't have Everything in place to make sure that I do not fail So one of the key lessons or advices I have finally decided to practice this year is progress over perfection the struggle has always been you know due to my general lack of patience and usual huge expectations of Things and the outcomes and guess how they become easier for me this year to just Get over this perfection mentality. It's just by doing learning and repeating The third point is consistency is The only key now this year has taught us more than probably any other year collectively I know it doesn't sound over the top when I actually say that this year It made more sense and it hit home to recognize that there will always be obstacles and unexpected things coming our way worldwide our Biggest unexpected challenge has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. Everybody's gone through it now What's unexpected things due to an overthinking Paranoid person like me is to throw me off completely It does coming from the previous point. I made which is progress over perfection I sometimes, you know tends to give up easily on things because my perfect plan got interrupted by something else like well, it's not my fault that it failed or Not my fault that I didn't see you through, you know, something else happened and it's not my fault And that's why I couldn't finish so at least, you know, I could share the blame with Something that I didn't ask for that's what makes it easy for me to so with progress over perfection also comes Consistency progress is nice, you know, but if you try consistency With progress, you know, the momentum isn't necessarily even for me. That's my opinion of progress I'm not quitting. No, but I'm not exactly doing it as Consistently as I should that's how I can define progress Consistency is what keeps the ball rolling and making you admire progress even more If you get that momentum and you don't use it or keep moving you have a tougher time breaking through obstacles I think physics even says it With consistency, you know, I've adopted a shorter burst, you know experimentation theory where I tell myself that I'm going to try this thing for a week or a month to see where it goes and then after that Why not continue to see where it goes continue some more till it becomes easier to just do it and it becomes habit. So I guess these two go hand-in-hand progress and consistency and Even when you don't feel like it Why not just do a little to honor your commitment of seeing some through or something through for the time period that you gave yourself That's how it works for me Four is to give yourself time to rest Point four now the hunger to thrive has been more real this year than when, you know I got my first job in 2012 Starting on the fresh page, you really can't be picky with opportunities that come your way, you know You learn to look at what you can get from me You know what comes your way than just immediately dismissing it, which is what I usually tend to do Basically, there's no wrong or right. That's what it is So this year being the year that you know I sought to explore creativity on my own terms and conditioning myself to give Give it 500% almost all the time For some reason coming into the year with, you know, such a flat expectation Background of how my day-to-day would be I found myself Always working I would either be working on a personal idea or I'll be overthinking How I would exceed expectations for someone I wanted to work with or somebody who wanted to work with me And this I always believed would solidify things, you know, like, you know, putting a stronger foot forward all the time And again, this was more like a mutated version of perfection over progress because I always was working Where I tell myself that I'm making progress But I forget that with a steady climb rest is also Required at some point. I said it's in different videos on this channel that We need to know when to stop and I'm only at the end of the year and gradually Actually consciously enforcing this for myself. It's not been easy So the fifth point I would say is you can't do it all Ask for help. This is extremely difficult for me or someone who is Always wanted to be self-reliant by virtue of the fact that he's a perfectionist and also extremely hard to impress So I usually tend to do things my own way and I find that it's a big drawback, but I usually can help it There was also, I mean, there was so much that I wanted to do this year I want the year begun. So many personal projects, you know, that needed collaboration to execute I thought I did a decent job, you know, communicating these expectations to the people I wanted to work with I also tried as much as possible to let things happen Without interference or trying to micromanage as people are very capable but things didn't go as planned with most of them and I Ended up shelving them and moving on to things within my personal reach again relying on myself to do it After all, I didn't start the year only trying to explore and not to make a living Man must drop. However, I have to say that in some very few instances where I have asked for help From other people and let them do what they are very capable of doing. It turned out to be pretty amazing So I'm grateful for that. And there are also instances where I asked for help for things that were brewing or coming my way That ended up falling through But the truth is it was really good to know that there was help out there people who are willing to help Whenever those projects would actually Happen So overall, it's been the best part of my learning experience, but I'm not going to Stopped from asking for help. I'm still gonna ask for help. Help is very important for growth You can learn a lot from it. So ask for help Point number six a jack of all trades is a master of none Simply I honestly didn't know how to title this particular lesson. I wanted to call it You can't do it all again or don't dip your finger in every jar Which has way too many interpretations Basically, what I'm trying to say is I explored or toyed with a lot of ideas that were potential income earners and as a freelancer You feel that there's a lot of room to explore multiple streams of income. That's what it is and There's actually a ton of ways to go about this so many things I have watched so many videos on things you can do to earn extra money and Not have to do it full-time. There are people who have cracked this particular code and I'm making so much money Without having to do too much work so it made sense to give it a shot and this birthday I You know a couple of ideas including my very own merchandise brand which for some reason has thought Let me just say for one major reason I completely underestimated the fact that It's not a low maintenance kind of income stream and that it requires a lot of work and attention And so coming from my previous lesson of asking for help because you can't do it all I Am going to find help in sustaining this venture because I see it as having a really great potential And I don't want to let go of it So on that note if you're one of those people who Supported qualms my merch from the beginning. I really appreciate your love and support and I promise I'm going to streamline things or streamline how to do things and get more for you very soon And let me also apologize sincerely to all who were caught in the shortage space where I couldn't meet your order requirements Due to a few you know structural inconsistencies. I'm going to reform all those things and I'll come back better I promise. So lesson here for me is Do not scramble to take on more than you can manage without actually thinking things through You can't do everything. It's better to do a few things and be thorough than to do a lot with 20% effort Which brings me to my final point Our final lesson failure is Amazing when I began the year I was you know starting on the black canvas Like I said coming from being in a structured space or a structured environment for about eight years and For the first time in my life. I was excited about Experimenting I was excited to try things and rather strangely I was also excited about the failures that would I would encounter because failures, you know would at least be on my own term and I would be solely Responsible for getting around them and actually doing better. So that was it for me I honestly also thought that I'd have a lot of time on my hands not doing so much So I guess I was pleasantly surprised with how the year turned out so far. I managed to do So much especially with this vlog being one of the biggest experiences and Experiments for me, which fortunately is still ongoing At certain points in the journey when I would feel comfortable with some of the things that I was doing because I was consistent I was tempted to take on more and Do different things whether they were you know income earning or not And that's where I got caught in being overwhelmed by some of the things Which I wasn't able to apply the level of consistency at hope to do but like I said In the beginning of this I mean points the beauty of it all was that I was Going to be able to do this on my own terms and take responsibility for them, which quite frankly Was rather or has been rather liberating for me that I was able to learn and decided what I would want to try again Another way or what needed to be continued or what I didn't have too much energy Spent on so I hope to fail some more in the new year and then from these experiences That I've made this year such a great one for me. Yeah so I'm truly happy with how 2020 has turned out and I so look forward to the next one so in signing off this year with my last video of 2020 I would like to do something which I've also learned to do a lot this year Which is making a conscious effort to remember the little things that I have done adding up to the bigger picture and be truly Grateful for them. I have said it in more than one video this year that Gratitude goes a long way and also celebrating your little wins means more in the long run So on that note, I'm truly grateful for your life Spending your time and your energies with me and being part of this journey, which is still continuing And you're one of the reasons why My year 2020 has been amazing and I couldn't be more grateful and to all those I personally encountered who walked with me who shared with me gave me taught me You know yourselves If I decide to mention names and forget some I'll be in trouble So all I can say is you are all truly wonderful and I love you So thank you all for making 2020 the best catch you in a few days Happy new year to you and peace


So Google has been saying that it would eventually block third-party cookies. Today is the day that it has actually started testing its cookie-less technology on 1% of Chrome users globally. I think what this 1% that they've turned on today is signifying is that, yes, we're really serious about this and advertisers, you need to get your act together. If we're really going to take a big picture, look at this, what you have to understand is that Google is probably not at the peak of where their powers are in terms of AdWords. They've seen it contract. They also know that they evaporated television advertising. They evaporated display advertising. They evaporated newspaper advertising. They evaporated magazine advertising. Disruption is possible and they want to consolidate their position before the next thing that shows up, be it more people interacting with stuff via AI or something else that we don't know about comes along and takes it from them.


How's it going everybody? Datsunoi here and you might already know if you're a long time viewer of the channel that I absolutely adore the Naruto franchise. And maybe even more so than just the Naruto franchise, I really really like the Naruto games. Obviously we already do a ton of store for content here on the channel. I also do free room and Naruto the Broken Bond sometimes just to feel something. And the old PS2 games were actually surprisingly great too. But hands down, one of my favorite Naruto games to play of all time is this game right here. If you don't already know about Clash of Ninja 3, basically it's a four player Naruto game where you can have three for all battles targeting whoever you want and pretty much doing whatever you want. It's a lot of chaos and it's a lot of fun. That's why I thought it'd be a lot of fun to bring this game to the channel. I would have brought the fourth game in the series if it would have ever come over to the west, but that's a story for a different time. So anyway, in order to play this game through its fullest potential, of course you do need three other friends, so I went ahead and got every person I knew. And we still only came up with three. Like and subscribe to the video if you enjoyed it. It helps take the pain away. But anyway, who am I starting with? I gotta start with Naruto. I'm sorry to hit you guys with this, but... That's the strongest character in the whole game. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's the most annoying character in the whole game, but you can't change history. I'm picking Baki. All right, now, who would be a good, strong character? Ambu Kikashi. Yeah, the boss character, Ambu Kikashi. All the way. If you don't know, you have to unlock Ambu Kikashi by doing a million things. We use cheat codes. Oh, look at the shooting exams. Hold on. Face me at the shooting exams. Come here. This is so much more confusing with four players. Relax, relax, relax. Get each other, get each other. So you thought you could avoid... You know what's gonna happen now? Look at this character. He's chief. All the rest, there is...  I have so much health right now.  Oh, I'm still saucing him. Kikashi's not fighting back. He's waiting for me to become weak. Hell! I got him, I got him. Get him, Kikashi. He's beating me. Let him do it. Let him do it. Let him do it. Hey, I'll help out. Oh my God. Now he's going up to me, but it's too late. Oh, oh, he's good at the game. I didn't touch Nardo too much. I still got him. Oh, combos. Hell, that's all my life. Combos, that was sick. Oh, I don't know what's happening. What even was any of that? I'm starting to beat me. Oh, that's not good. I don't know if you can handle him. All the rest. He's gonna hit you with... Oh my God. What a beast. Wow, you got played.  Got him. No, you got me. I did not get you, there's no way. You got me. Sorry. Oh my God. I wasn't aiming for you. I wasn't aiming for you. Get him, Kikashi. Yeah, get him. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kikashi, help. Be gone. Kikashi, please. Please, Kikashi. Get out of here. I'm going 9-10.  Look at how much damage he's done. Kikashi, please. I never did nothing to nobody, Kikashi. I never did nothing to me. I think Kikashi had enough of that. Both of them. No, I didn't. One's still alive. I have to do this.  You have to win. I see a triple kill. Don't. Got him. I'm looking at a double kill right now. Now Naruto's one away from the big victory dance. No, let me live. No way. I'll take it.  Let's go. Layton, what is Layton Ninja Power? What the heck is that? I don't know what that means, but I guess we'll leave it at that. I don't know, but I think Kikashi had some of those. Am I actually fighting someone who keeps turning into crows? You don't know if it's a genjutsu or not. Come here. I'll fight you from here. I'm not afraid to use the clothes. Yeah. You were fighting a genjutsu the whole time. How's that? Yeah, it was a genjutsu. No, that wasn't a genjutsu. Nice try. That's a genjutsu. No, it's a genjutsu. That's a genjutsu too. I'm hitting this guy. That's it. I'm hitting this guy. I don't know what I'm fighting. I'm tired of this. What is this? Who left this here? Oh, somebody left a paper bomb on the ground. What was that? Hey, you want to see what a thousand years of pain looks like? Come here. What? Turn around. Don't do it. In the Tsukiyomi, I control all your c**k, your b**ch. Don't do this. Get that. Get that for the minute. Get that for the minute. Get that for the minute. Just there. Get that. Just leave it. You're cold. Just censor that. You're literally fighting a genjutsu this whole time. What were you just saying? I was definitely going to have this f**king act. I don't know what to say. Yeah. Oh, my God. He just threw that up. Hey, I haven't hit Itachi at all. This is just a little record. Itachi is pretty broken, too. My late ninja warrior. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's never done this. Oh, my God.  Hey, Kakashi, counter this. God, he's good. Can't you see you've been fighting? Why is he? Is he trying to copy my shadow? He's destroying the mental game. Oh, my God. He doesn't care. He's trying to copy my destructive shadow clone, Jutsu, but he can't die. What? Are you kidding me? That's a level four bot. You didn't listen to that? You didn't listen to that?   Let's go. What now? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What's that? This is really long. Oh, my God. What a movie. I'm going to control some puppets, I think, with Kankuro. Kankuro has never once done good for me. I've got to be honest. Damn, listen to this jazz soundtrack. Look at my buff. I got so many people on my team. How do I use my puppets? Where did my elf go? Yeah. Come here. You missed your combo. Oh, my God. Did I? Did I? I may not know how to use these puppets just yet, but what's I figure it out? There we go.  I can still throw hands myself. I don't need my puppets. Oh, yeah? There he goes. That blue guy that doesn't need puppets. Wait.  Am I dead? Am I dead? Yeah. Boom. Oh, my God. Make it easy for me. Shit. My God, you got pieced up. I think I'm going to play Leaf. Are you kidding me? Leaf, wait a little bit.  Now who wants it? Who wants it? Who wants it? Who truly wants to die?  Butter me. Oh, my God. He's too good. He just got stopped out by a guy that doesn't even exist in the show. What is that base going on? Dude, do you also hear that? Are you just rumbling?  Who wants it? Who wants it? Is it Anbu Kakashi? Come here. Come here. Yeah, this is all my game something.  I'm sorry. Sorry. What's happening? I'm sorry. Oh, God. I'm sorry.  You make a mistake. Come on. I work a load on data. Look at me. He's doing hand signs over there. He's scaring me. All right. I'm calling an operation big bird. Oh, there you go.  I'd say that was pretty effective. Spider. Spider. Spider. I didn't get to do my clay. No. Oh, my God. No, wait. We can work together, Tachi. We got the same. Oh, my God. Nice paper bomb. What's it supposed to? Clash. I win. Oh, he set that up years in advance. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. No. Play it all. Oh, my God. He didn't hit him. He didn't hit him. He didn't hit him a single time. I don't know. He was here just laying ninja powers activated. All right. Big bird. I'm calling it big bird. We are getting out of here. Operation big bird. We are getting out of here. Go. My dad. I literally said no chance. Did I win yet? Spider. No.    You're not going to see this one coming. You made a mistake. Now I have chakra. Spider. Oh, no. That wasn't a spider. Spider. And I'm not done with you. Let me die. Let me die. All right. Now I'm tired with the tachi. I only need one more win. Oh, my little creature. No.  What's happening? Stop that right now. Kill him. I'm killing him. No, you're not. You're not. I'm actually going to pitch this idea to you fellas. Okay. We don't add the bot. What if it's just all natural free for all between us three? Okay. I'm going to get bullied. I'm going to get bullied. I'm going to get bullied. I'm looking to form packs with people. If anybody would like to form a pack, I would be open to pack forming. Packs, packs and bribes are open at this point. I deny all packs. Currently, my PayPal is open. I am taking donations from whoever would like to apply. No, off my squad. You can't actually squad off. We can't make it that formal. All I require is one and a half bars of chocolate. You're like fellas, fellas, fellas.    Dodging, Kakashi, dodging. Do I have a bar of chocolate yet? Yeah, you wish you did. I'll just have to deal with you both myself then.  My back. My spine. Ow. That was a devastating impact. Akamaru sits. Oh, boy. Akamaru sits. In the middle of the comedy, he just looks back like, what? What? Sit? Now? Yeah, that's a... Oh, what? He's so good. Oh, no. Oh, no. He died with you.   I will. I missed. All right, give me a second. I'm going to kick you real hard. No. You have betrayed me now. I know your true features. What do you mean what? I got you and my mug.  Yeah, it's unblockable. Help. I'm still in here. No, it was just a prank. My eye. It didn't seem like a prank.  Come here. Help me. So you still betrayed me. I was always on Jesus' side. What? I did. I did. I did. I guess it's not the guy. Give it to me. Give it to me. Oh, got him. I got him. Punch him in the face. Sorry, take him out. I did. I did. How about we settle this like gentlemen? Yeah, we will. I'm just reading. Have you seen the power of the eight trigram 64 bomb? Hey, who's he not? Let's make sure this guy never gets a handful of chakra in his life. I don't know how to stop it. Is that the prison? No. Punch him in the face. Yeah. Does he still have chakra? He does. Don't betray me.  I can't believe it. That's some nice chakra you got there. It'd be a shame if I were to take. Holy man. It's like the tuning exams all over again. Come in. I dare you. What? What? It was a trick. I'm too fast. What? You can jump out of it. You have no weakness. Yikes. Give me your chuck. I'm sorry. Sam, come in. I think he's going to bury you under that sand. Never. Well, that actually did that too much. Hey, you can't talk to them like that. Is that chakra I see? Give me that. I'm taking it back. Give me my chakra. I'm taking all your chakra. Thanks for the chakra, kid. You didn't even take any. I took it all. Hey, Tragram.  What? Don't worry. I'm not going to hit you. I'm not going to hit you. I'm not going to hit you. You messed up because he all right come. Hey, Tragram. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm not dead yet. I'm not dead yet. Please tell me I'm not dead yet. Giant sand there. Give me one more chance. Yes. You have to win. I will. No, you won't. I have no faith. Hey, Tragram. Hey, Tragram. Enough. I know you would win. Why can't I block it? Who has chakra? I smell chakra. What was that stand? That's like a great stand. Stuff like that. Don't do it. I think this guy has chakra. Hold on. I'm taking your chakra. Give me your chakra. Give me your chakra. You're dead. It doesn't matter. I'm taking it all. My chakra. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Hey, Tragram. Hey, Tragram. Hey, Tragram. Hey, Tragram. He's coming. Let's go. Are you kidding me? I mastered one technique and one technique only. All right. It's time for the final round. So pick your best characters. Why are you picking Anbu Kakashi? Because I'm the best character in the game. I just realized nobody ever played Sasuke once this whole video. There you go. Look. We got the whole gang back together. Naruto Sasuke Anbu Kakashi somewhere in there.  Okay. Wait. Hey, I was working on something. Yeah. Now I'm working on you. Oh, no. He's going to sever his bond. Consider that. He's severing more than my bond. He literally stole that from me. Oh, my God. Run. At least I went out brave. I am a lord. What is going on? I went out like a champion. Oh, please no. Dear God, no. Severing more bonds. Severing even more bonds. I'm sorry, but I'm going to win now. A few moments later.


We currently have quantum field descriptions of atomic electron states and the radiation field, but we lack an interaction mechanism that can account for emission and absorption of radiation by the atom. This should take the form of an interaction term in the Hamiltonian. We will develop the interaction term and examine its effects in the next two videos. For now we can get an idea of the type of terms that must appear in the interaction Hamiltonian with the graphical aid of Feynman diagrams. The total energy is expressed as a sum of three terms, atom, radiation, and interaction. The atom Hamiltonian has terms such as e k, b hat k plus, b hat k minus. The energy times the number operator for the k-th orbital. Suppose the m-th orbital contains an electron. We represent this on a space-time diagram by an arrow labeled with the corresponding quantum state. The radiation Hamiltonian has terms such as h bar omega k, a hat k alpha plus, a hat k alpha minus. The energy of a photon in the mode with propagation constant k and polarization alpha times the corresponding number operator. Suppose there is a photon in one of these modes. We represent this on the Feynman diagram by a squiggly arrow labeled with the corresponding quantum state. The electron and photon are shown as colliding. If there was no interaction mechanism between them, they would pass through each other and continue on unperturbed. If there is an interaction mechanism specified by the interaction Hamiltonian, then there can be an interaction leading to a quantum jump. We'll represent a quantum jump by a small circle at the vertex where the electron and photon symbols come together. Suppose this quantum jump consists of the destruction of the electron and photon and the creation of a new electron in the n-th orbital. Our Feynman diagram shows the original electron and photon converging on the vertex where they are destroyed, and the created electron emerging from the vertex. The quantum jump is described by the product b hat n plus, b hat m minus, a hat k alpha minus. This destroys the photon, destroys the n-th orbital electron, and creates the n-th orbital electron. We conclude that the interaction Hamiltonian must contain terms like this to describe the absorption of a photon by the atom. Another possible process is that we start with an electron in the n-th orbital. A quantum jump occurs, which destroys this electron, and simultaneously creates a photon in the k alpha mode and an electron in the n-th orbital.  This destroys the n-th orbital electron, creates the n-th orbital electron, and creates the photon. Of course, these processes can only occur under certain constraints, such as conservation of energy. The energy of the n-th orbital electron must equal the energy of the photon plus the energy of the n-th orbital electron. Presumably these interaction terms will include coefficients that specify the probability of the corresponding interaction. We will work out the interaction mechanism in the next video, and the interaction Hamiltonian in the video after that. Now we turn to the related topic of perturbation theory. This is the technique we will use to actually solve complex problems in quantum electrodynamics. Here we will see the intimate connection between Feynman diagrams in perturbation theory. Suppose for a system that satisfies the Schrodinger equation with Hamiltonian h hat 0, we can find explicit stationary states with spatial part phi n and time dependence e to the minus i omega n t. The spatial parts satisfy the time-independent Schrodinger equation with energy h bar omega n. But we are interested in solutions of a modified system with Hamiltonian h hat 0 plus h hat interaction. Where this form of the Schrodinger equation is too difficult to be explicitly solvable due to the additional interaction term in the Hamiltonian. If this added term is in some sense small compared to the original h hat 0, we can think of it as a small perturbation of the system, and try to develop a solution in terms of the solutions of the original unperturbed system. For an rotational simplicity going forward, we assume units in which h bar equals 1. We express the solution as a linear combination of the stationary states of the unperturbed system. The coefficients cn of t can vary in time so the perturbed system can evolve from one state to another. For the left side of the Schrodinger equation, i, time derivative of the quantum state, the terms in our sum have two time dependent factors, so the derivatives have two terms, derivative of the first times the second plus the first times the derivative of the second. This gives us i times sum over n of c dot n of t, the time derivative of the nth coefficient times e to the minus i omega n t times phi n, plus i times sum over n of cn of t times minus i omega n times e to the minus i omega n t phi n. The right side of the equation we break into a sum of h hat 0 and h hat interaction terms. The h hat 0 operator simply adds a factor omega n to each term in its sum. The h hat interaction operator operates on the stationary states phi n in its sum. Since i times minus i is just one, the two box expressions are equal and they cancel. This leaves i times sum over n cn dot of t e to the minus i omega n t phi n equals sum over n cn of t e to the minus i omega n t h hat interaction phi n. To isolate one of the c dot terms we project both sides onto a state phi f. Since the projection of state n onto state f is zero unless n equals f, in which case it is one, the left side is reduced to the single term i c dot f of t e to the minus i omega f t. On the right, each sum has a factor h hat interaction operating on phi n projected onto phi f. We call this the fn matrix element of the interaction Hamiltonian. Solving for c dot f of t this is equal to minus i sum over n cn of t e to the i omega f minus omega n t times the fn matrix element. This gives us a differential equation that determines how the cf of t coefficient of our solution evolves with time. Unfortunately there are an infinite number of these equations, and each equation depends on the infinite number of coefficients cn of t. There are no practical techniques for solving this infinite set of coupled differential equations in closed form. Instead, we will use perturbation theory to generate a solution by making successively more accurate approximations.


Using GUNNA in English. This video is brought to you by the following English learning sites. What are we going to do in this video? This video will help you speak English faster by giving you information and practice with the expression BE GUNNA. What it means? The expression BE GUNNA is actually a shortened form of BE GOING TO, which is used to indicate future plans in English. Here's the breakdown. I am going to play volleyball. I am GUNNA play volleyball. I am GUNNA play volleyball. Using BE GUNNA correctly. When using BE GUNNA, make sure you do it correctly. Here are some guidelines. 1. Use it in casual conversation and informal speech. 2. It's better to avoid it in very formal situations. 3. Do not use it in writing. I'm going to talk to my best friend about it. Problems with BE GUNNA. 1. Omission and reduction. One of the biggest problems with BE GUNNA is omitting the BE verb in statements. The BE verb is part of this expression. Don't omit it. I'm going to meet my friend at 6 o'clock. No, this is incorrect. I am going to meet my friend at 6 o'clock. The BE verb cannot be omitted in statements, but it can be reduced. For example, full BE GUNNA. Reduced or contracted form. They are going to have coffee later. They're going to have coffee later. Marnie is going to pay. Marnie's going to pay. She is going to tell me something. She's going to tell me something. Remember, don't forget the BE verb. Okay, I'm going to say it right. For negatives, insert NOT between BE and GUNNA. Okay, I'm not going to forget, I promise. I'm not going to make that mistake again. This applies to statements. Questions can have different usage. Using BE GUNNA in questions. Here's where it gets a little complicated. We sometimes skip the BE verb in WH questions. Where are they going to study? Where are they going to study? How are you going to pay? How are you going to pay? To speak faster, we often reduce other words in questions as well. For example, what are you going to do tonight? What are you going to do tonight? What are you going to do tonight? This applies only to the verb ARE. Do NOT skip is or am. For example, when is he going to get here? When's he going to get here? NOT when he going to get here. In very informal speech. Sometimes people skip the BE verb in YES NO questions as well. This is very informal usage. Are you going to play football? Are they going to be there? Are they going to be there? To. The other mistake with BE GUNNA is adding an extra TO. The word TO in the expression is reduced to A. For example, I'm going to see my friends. I'm going to see my friends. Do not put TO back in. I'm going to see my friends. I'm going to see my friends. No, this is wrong. We're going to hang out. Correct. It's going to be fun. Practice one. Correct or incorrect. Indicate whether the following are correct or incorrect in spoken English. Feel free to pause the video if you'd like more time. Check your answers. 1. Incorrect. It's going to eat dinner at Wendy's. 2. OK. Is Samantha going to speak at the conference? 3. Incorrect. Troy is going to get a new puppy tomorrow. 4. Incorrect. Where is Gary going to meet you tonight? 5. OK. We're going to buy a new car next week. 6. OK. Are they going to be here in time? Very informal. 7. Incorrect. Susan is going to play in the orchestra. 8. OK. Who's going to come to the party? Practice two. Talk to your friends about future plans using BE GUNNA. For example, what you're going to do tonight? We're going to watch a movie. Make your own conversations. Here are some pictures to help you get started. Go ahead. Talk. Feel free to pause the video and take as much time as you need.

Do you belong here in these ranks of Marines? Marines aren't born into the Corps. Everyone has come out of another different kind of life. A few months ago he was finishing high school. Now he's training as a Marine electronic specialist.  It depends. Are you happy watching the cars go by? How about directing some traffic for yourself? Do you belong in this uniform? It isn't that tough to be a Marine. It depends mostly on what happens during a few weeks out of your life. The testing period of every Marine. Eighty rugged days of recruit training. Lift right there! Here we go! Lift right there! No Marine ever forgets 11 weeks of the most intensive training any soldier of any nation ever received. If anyone on this island who is... The Marine Corps trains thousands of recruits every year. And for each of them the first 80 days begin the same way. Maybe you're harder here. It's miserable right from the beginning. That's so you won't be disappointed later on. Wherever they came from, whoever they were before, these recruits have only one thing in common. They actually volunteered for this experience. With only 80 days to go, changes come fast. One hour later you wouldn't know yourself. At least everybody's off to an even start. To begin with, I have anywhere from 75 to 110 names and a schedule that sums up almost 200 years of experience. That's how long we've been turning recruits into that special breed of soldier we call the Marine. How do you get your eyeballs up here on me? Get up here and look at me. My name is Stassard and weaves. I'm your senior drill instructor. You are platoon 3046. As far as I am concerned, you are going to be the best platoon at Parris Island.  Whether you knew it or not. But don't worry. You're going to be too busy to worry. In the Marine Corps we talk body, mind, and spirit development of the whole man. But physical condition is our starting point. And for most recruits it's a pretty low one. Here's recruit Gable, Charles A. He's in pretty good shape. What kind of Marine will he make? That remains to be seen. A lot of new recruits are like Evans here, underdeveloped. His next 80 days will make a lot of difference. A completely different way of life. And there's no let up in the pressure or the pace. This weapon here is the US rifle 7.62 millimeter and 14. It was adopted by the Marine Corps in 1961. This will be your first class on this weapon. What's your 7th general order, Private? Private Hannell, sir, my 7th general order is to talk to no one except in the line of duty. It happens a little at a time.  They're starting to move like a platoon. 18. Hold them over there, Sergeant Johnson. That's still. Private, prepare for instruction. The next movement that we're going to explain and demonstrate is march to the rear. March to the rear. Starting to respond like a platoon. When they meet another platoon, they all pull together. You win together as a team. But always it's the individual who makes the difference. What we look for most, I think, is the individual effort. 20 days of training. Just three weeks can make a lot of difference if you're working at it all the time. Plenty of exercise. Plenty of good food are showing results. We're beginning to know the individual recruit, whether his problem is being overweight or underpowered. Constant attention is what pays off. Gable, look at it. Yes, sir. You ever clean your rifle, Gable? Yes, sir. When's the last time it was clean? Last night, sir. Well, look at that. What do you see? Dirt, sir. Dirt? Yes, sir. Where did it come from? Gable is husky. He does what he's told. But that isn't all it takes. It's a combination of body, mind, and spirit that we're aiming for. And we work on it all the time, right up to the minute before light's out. Every night, it's a ritual in this platoon, the code of conduct every Marine learns by heart. Who he is and what he stands for. A word we hope they'll never forget. 48 days of training. The platoon looks good. Well, almost good. Now they're moving ahead to another important phase. They'll spend three weeks here at the range learning one basic fact. The Marine Corps is still built around your ability as a rifleman. By the time they go to the firing line, they'll know the principles of marksmanship. But nothing quite prepares you for the first time you sight on the target with a live one in the chamber. Very much an individual thing. It's an art. Some people pick it up quickly. Some people don't. Gable isn't. And this is really getting it. The seventh week is over. Only four more left. Time is going quickly. Every DI knows this experience, take any good bunch of recruits, work hard with them, for things to happen. They're physically fit and alert. And they're working together without having to think about it. That magic word teamwork is part of the daily routine. By the ninth week, the guys are even a little cocky. But some of this disappears when they see what is scheduled for today. A little training item called the confidence course. The instructor offers a demonstration. Just to show how easy it really is. These recruits are in good shape. Their bodies have endured intensive conditioning. They're fit. And they know it. Learn how to focus attention in a tight circle on the problem in front of it. Their minds are disciplined alert. And they know it. They're belonging to a top-notch military organization. They're good. And they know it. The first 80 days, there all is graduation day. After this, several weeks of infantry training, then leave. Then they'll go to assignments throughout the Marine Corps. But whatever lies ahead, each one knows that from now on, life won't ever be quite the same. That just three months out of your lifetime could make such a big difference. But there it is. And thousands of Marines know it. From personal experience, teams serving around the world in their different assignments until they wouldn't have it any other way. 80 days that toughened their bodies for the most rugged conditions of service geared their minds to quick-moving adaptability and fired their spirit, the unquenchable will to win that marks the United States Marine.


Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. These are your headlines for Wednesday, July 9th. Participants in Rim of the Pacific or REMPAC Exercise 2014 are conducting a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief scenario this year. The scenario includes an ashore and a float medical component designed to share medical capabilities with military and civilian responders, allowing for better interaction and cooperation. This year marks the first time the hospital ship, USNS Mercy, is participating in REMPAC. SECNAV is urging all Navy and Marine Corps organizations to participate in the Fed's Feed Families Food Drive. In the NAV admin, Navy commands are asked to designate a representative to coordinate with their nearest chaplain. The campaign will run through the end of August and provides an opportunity for sailors and civilians to support their community.


Hi, everyone. I'm Ashley Champaign. I'm the head of Digital Scholarship Project Planning at our Center for Digital Scholarship at the Brown University Library, and I'm so pleased to be with you for this C&I project briefing series. I'm going to share my screen. Today I'm going to talk with you about flexible project planning for digital scholarship centers, a framework for managing multiple projects of varying technical complexity. This is what we'll do. I'll give an overview of a digital scholarship center. This is based on Brown University Center, but also in my research over the past couple years of other digital scholarship centers and how they work with project planning. I'll then give an overview of some unique challenges for digital scholarship centers and project planning, and then offer a framework for how to handle those challenges. And then I'll offer two specific examples applying the framework, one of which is a customized project, and the other one is using off-the-shelf tools. And then finally I'll share with you our closing closeout document, which we finish after we finish any project. And this is something we just finished a couple months ago in our CDS. Digital scholarship centers often assist with a variety of digital projects that require different methodologies and skill sets. You can see the list of workshops and methodologies that our CDS works on here. This talk focuses on a framework for how to flexibly adapt project planning documents around the experience of a given team and the technical and theoretical skills a project requires. What I want to present is this framework for how to think about the skills and resources a university has and how to create a project planning framework that will work for you and your university. So this framework, of course, comes out of our CDS at Brown. And while there are a variety of helpful articles that really helped me think through project planning, I'll mention Ashley Reed's Managing and Established Digital Humanities Project, Sharon Miohn's Project Management for Humanists, and the conference panel at the Digital Humanities 2018 conference, Project Management for Digital Humanities. This talk instead focuses on digital scholarship centers and the wide array of projects these centers often take on, manage, and partner with in developing projects from conception to final product. So in digital scholarship, planning for a project that involves methods the specialists are deeply knowledgeable about requires a different approach from a project that involves substantial experimentation and learning along the way. Digital scholarship work more often falls into the latter category of experimentation. And so that has to be taken to account in project planning. And so I propose a way for digital scholarship centers to plan projects based on the knowledge their staff have and the knowledge their staff want to have. Many digital scholarship and digital humanities centers offer a range of services, which requires the specialists who work in the centers to have a breadth of knowledge on digital approaches rather than a deep knowledge. So our CVS, for example, has seven specialists in different areas, data visualization, data management, GIS mapping, text mining, web design, and digital publishing. Our center is the central hub for digital scholarship across the university. And we work with faculty projects across disciplines. What this means is that often staff at our digital scholarship centers focus on a breadth of knowledge rather than a deep knowledge. So here I list an example of a text mining specialist. That's me at Brown. This is actually a true story. So here the text mining specialist works across disciplines. The different disciplines use different methods. So I came to Brown knowing mallet, a Java based package that is seen as the kind of gold standard for humanists. And I met sociologists who use STM in our package. So I learned that. But also digital scholarship staff need to deeply know the theoretical aspects of digital scholarship work. They need to think about why to choose certain technology over others. What are the ethics of the work? They often need to know how to train undergrads in the field and teach workshops as well. As these teams work together to experiment with and apply different technologies to produce original research, learning new technologies and theoretical framings is often the significant part of the process. So these are some of the unique challenges and opportunities in project planning for digital scholarship centers. It is easier to produce timelines when deliverables with deliverables when a team is deeply knowledgeable about the technologies the project is using. For example, a team that has used Omeka, an open source web publishing platform for dozens of projects in the past will probably be able to accurately explain how long it will take them to assist with a project using Omeka. It is much harder to chart timelines when a significant part of the process will be made up of learning. How can someone who has never worked with a given technology accurately estimate how long a given project will take? Even if the staff member has significant experience with a given technology, that person may be directing a team of undergrads who may require more of the staff member's time than expected. Rather than rely on individuals to explain how long a given task will take, which is nearly always difficult to do, this talk proposes a framework for estimating project timelines and writing project charters based on how the team understands the necessary technologies and methodologies relevant to a given project. So I use Project at RCDS as examples of how others centers might use this framework. One way to go about understanding how much flexibility to put in a project timeline and other documentation is to chart out what level of expertise the staff will need to have and what level of expertise they have now. This visualization demonstrates on the x-axis a variety of skills that a digital scholarship center may have staff support. So text analysis, web platforms, data viz, front end development, other programming needs. On the y-axis there are numbers up to five. There are also two stacked bars that indicate the technical and theoretical skills a team may have. The colors within each category indicate the current skill set of the team which may or may not be exactly what the project requires. Loosely, we may say that the numbers on the y-axis are as follows. Zero might be no knowledge. Five might be a multi-year experience rewriting, expanding and using the code or software and original contributions to the theoretical impact of a given methodology. By using these broad categories I am making the point that even experts in a given technical methodologies often do not know everything there is to know about them. There is always something new to learn and it is important for project planning to understand what level of expertise the staff have and what level they need to have for a project. In addition, it's important to understand up front that a given project will require staff to learn more about the given technology so that you can decide if it's a project you want to take on. Learning is helpful long-term at the center in theory as you can take on similar projects in the future and create more accurate project planning timelines. While the majority of the projects at RCDS consist of using official tools like Omeka or Makoto, we also take on a few projects that for good reason require custom coding. A current example of this is stolen relations, recovering stories of an indigenous enslavement in the Americas, a community-based project led by Linford Fisher. Stolen relations is a collaborative effort to build a database of enslaved indigenous people in order to promote greater understanding of the historical circumstances of indigenous enslavement and the ongoing trauma of settler colonialism. The archival documents that we are collecting, transcribing and documenting on enslavement indicate indigenous presence or ancestry and they require specific fields in the back end of the MySQL database. On the front end, the project displays data alongside accompanying decolonizing contextual information. For this important project, we are working with 13 tribal nations in the New England area and we need to build a custom framework to address the feedback we continue to learn from our community partners. Our CDS leads all technical aspects of the project and we are eager to learn as we go to build this large and continually expanding database project but also because our staff are eager to learn the technologies and because we've never done a project like this before and no project like this exists, our knowledge of the relevant technologies was relatively low. How long would it take to explore relevant JavaScript libraries? How much troubleshooting would we need to do? These types of questions are hard to answer and it is important to support staff in learning new technologies. In order to do this, we adjusted our project planning structure for these customized projects, especially in how we create timelines. While our CDS did not have a project planning system five years ago, the chart here demonstrates how we could incorporate the framework to identify where our skill and experience level is compared to what the project needs. The majority of the skills we needed for the project included those on the right hand side of the chart. Frontend design, frontend development, MySQL and Python, we're experts in Python but there's a significant amount of learning we need to do to develop the project. While not every project requires a deep level of expertise of all the necessary technologies for project stone relations does, so if we had our project planning process ready at the project's conception, we would have been able to confidently say that taking on this project would require a significant amount of time devoted to learning necessary technological skills and theoretical knowledge. Compare this to a project that we did last summer in OMECA. We've worked with OMECA before, we knew the fields the metadata spreadsheet needed. It was much easier to predict a timeline because our technical and theoretical skills were what the project needed. Creating accurate timelines is difficult and of course even more so when a project requires learning along the way as in the case of stone relations. While project managers can often predict how long given tasks will take on a project that uses familiar tools, we sometimes do not know enough to even list the tasks required for highly customized projects such as stone relations. One way to manage this is to map out a timeline that focuses on the coming months worth of work rather than the full project timeline. We decided this was best for us. While it is ideal to have an overarching timeline for the project and to think towards the project's end of life as much as possible, we found it helpful to chunk our work month by month in order to determine the workflow for that period of time. Our timelines for customized projects or as we call them signature projects are therefore quite specific. For example, in a given month we might list what JavaScript library we're researching or what part of the project's input form we're investigating. Focusing on a month by month timeline gives flexibility to our staff to learn as they go. In addition, it allows us to make more accurate timelines in real time as we know which phase of work we're in and how far we have to go. It's not our goal to share a fixed end date for work in a project that requires significant learning. It's rather our goal to be transparent that we will need to learn throughout the process and so we can only provide estimates of our time frames. However, by tracking the individual tasks specifically throughout a project lifecycle, we can prepare a fairly accurate estimate of when we can expect to finish specific tasks for the project. Compare this month by month approach for a signature project with that of a project that uses OMECA. We knew exactly how long the project would take beyond the month timeline and so we were able to map it out over the course of several months. There are many excellent examples of project charter templates for digital scholarship that would accompany the timelines so I won't say much more about that here. An adjustment that we made to our project charter is to provide clarity about how we expect and anticipate needing to learn along the way if that is indeed the case. So the Brown CDS adopted a project charter document based on existing templates and processes from the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities and the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship. They are a model every CDS or CDH should consult to learn about project planning. While this talk focuses on managing uncertainty and project planning based on a team's familiarity and experience with given technologies for the project, there are many other aspects to a project that are uncertain. Team members can get sick or need to take a break from work for other reasons or more broadly people may not be able to devote the time to a project that they originally expected. A classic way to handle this is to overestimate. To tell the client, the faculty member that you can get a task done in two months when you can get it done in one. While there is good reason to do this in an attempt to overperform rather than underperform, good collaboration comes from a place of trust. We need to build trust to work together in the best way we can and building trust comes from speaking and writing honestly about the possibilities, limitations, and uncertainties that are inherent in working with a team. And in addition to the project charter, so then we have templates to write an addendum if the faculty member wants to change the original plan. And the project manager maintains close communication and offers regular updates. We handle uncertainty by building relationships based on trust and transparency. The closeout document, which is also one of the closing points of this talk, is a foundational component to our work process for every project. On the slide here, I list ours. It's short. That's because we only want the most essential information in this document when we finish a project. This document explains the work the team has accomplished. Regardless of whether the project included technologies we were familiar and confident with or everything went to plan or not, we create this document at the end of the project that details the essential information that our CDS needs to know and our future staff at the CDS need to know. This is not a new approach. Of course, there are ample examples of excellent closeout reports at other institutions. We were inspired by Emory's digital scholarship closeout document, and the Yale DH lab also has a great project closeout document on their website. In addition, the Indians project out of University of Victoria is an excellent project that explores how to design and develop projects for digital longevity. In our closeout, we list any specific aspects of the project that remain unfinished. The technical debt the project required of any necessary information to access the project, for example, passwords. We list dependencies and a preservation plan. And by technical debt, I mean any of the decisions we made on the project that produced work for us later. For example, by hard coding rather than writing a function that doesn't need to be directly edited. We consider the closeout document, the message in the bottle to our future selves and others who come after us. We keep all of these documents in our shared Google Drive on our server. One central aspect of the framework I propose is trust. It's important to build community with trust and transparency. At RCDS, we trust staff by building a month-by-month flexible timeline of the work we need to do. We trust and want to give staff the flexibility to list what they want to do and learn in a given month in order to build towards the overarching project goal. In turn, we also build trust with the faculty member by producing honest estimates in our timelines, documenting our work, and transparently explaining how we work on projects. Project planning has always been important, but as work has shifted due to the coronavirus pandemic, team members now increasingly work in hybrid or remote contexts, and thus there's an even greater need to communicate across teams and individuals. So this framework offers a way for digital scholarship centers to assess the needs of new projects or existing projects and determine the level of expertise the staff has in relation to what the project needs. In turn, it also provides digital scholarship centers the opportunity to consider whether it makes sense for them to take on a project that requires a significant amount of staff time to learn a given methodology or if they would do better to specialize in certain areas. Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.

Hello everyone, welcome to this short recorded by RSL Diary video series with me. I am Isabel Iola nice to meet you This isn't my first vlog But it is the first time I get to talk to everyone in a curated way Curated because I'm an introvert and also a Leo. So I'm particular about my image. It really who's the real clown about Image, I'm not wearing makeup. So do I really care at this point?  Anyway a bit of history. Recorded by RSL was formally conceptualized in 2017 under a different name guess who has the trademark for said name with a few basic prompts. Animated short format So 10 minutes or less diverse inclusive cast and characters and making a big world small My solution to these was an animated vlog I wanted to tell you about some of the people who helped build the show from the ground up Wasn't just me it was actually a huge team effort whole pipeline one would say first off This is my co-writer and co-developer Joshua Kazemi. Hi What do you do at Rooster Teeth? My title technically is producer editor. I write Direct some things and edit at Rooster Teeth in the animation department Josh helped put a lot of humor and levity into the series Well, also understanding the core of what I wanted to do with the show and with our main character I asked him here about his experience working on the project Man, yeah, it's been it's been such a journey I think it's like that's the first word that has always come up in my head when I've thought about it That has been such a rewarding experience getting to just sit in a room and kind of think as writers and just Kind of dream up a world and dream up what are these characters are gonna do and we kind of got to do that And that was very very fun So my big question for him is what is something that surprised him during the process? I've come from more of a live-action background and recorded by ourselves The first narrative animation project that I got to work on and it was such a surprise to like be in rooms with you guys the animators seeing you guys like dissect it like like literally frame by frame and Picking apart little things that could improve or could be better I would sit in that room next to Austin and I'd be like, did you notice that little thing? You're like, no, they're very that's what they do I think everybody knows that a lot of care and love goes into the animation But it's one thing to know that like intellectually and a whole another thing to see it in action Spoilers Tanya Arlene animator also had some stuff to say about this as well Everyone really really like wanted to come together with the animation style Like I'm really happy that everyone was so accepting of you know doing that like everyone's really excited To do more, you know smooth animation unless the snappy style that we're all used to I was just fun to watch everyone give that style a shot and really just do something different and learn from it And from a writing perspective I think what was surprising was how fun and kind of challenging it would be To be creative and come up with cool stuff But then funnel it through what is like your voice envision for the show because I think that's what will make the show Special is that it's your unique voice envision any writer who wants to work on a show like needs to develop You got to make it sound like to the tone of the show So that was like my first real chance to do that and it was a really fun challenge Now I get to introduce you to Tanya Fetzer. She's the lead animator that I actually really wanted for the project. Hi I'm Tanya Behold my messy apartment. Tanya. Can you show me your dog? I can he's actually right here. Yo, man Hi What is something else you'd want more people to know about you? Let's start to know about me. I'm short I'm short and also very direct And I love my dog between Maggie mini Tanya and I I call this the short people leads team We are the short people lead team quite us Tanya and I actually connect a lot on the idea of injecting more motion appeal and subtlety into performances and she's really great to work with and Always asked if I needed help I usually did and my heroes of the project and the department are the sound guys Hi, I'm Alina I am the sound designer fully artist sound editor for arizel She also does almost every other animation project in rooster teeth. Yeah I also love her cat. This is stevie. She's a fatty, but I love her There's the cat butt. Yeah, so I'm philips fan. I'm our re-recording mixer for a lot of our animated shows Including recorded by rsl and basically what that is is at the end I take dialogue music and sound effects and sort of just combine them into one cohesive soundscape Philip is a really chill dude who has some of the best halloween costumes and I also love his cat Sound is tantamount for this particular series because we don't always have music we scrutinize the voice performance Look at this cast. Oh my god. They did so crazy But also the sounds around rsl give depth to the world around her also makes it important when we break convention And honestly, that's the tip of the iceberg. I genuinely want to talk about every person in the credits role There's just so many people to think about It doesn't cover Joe Nicolosi who came up with a prelude idea in the first place and he pushed josh and me to write Gave us a lot of really good writing advice too on that front the marketing and pr teams who've been helping bring the show to public The graphic design team who make the logo. Oh my god The group of people even that I asked to help with my original pitch deck back in 2017 There are so many hands involved with making something like this come true Even as something as small as a four-part prelude to a story I kind of it just really goes to show that animation is a journey And it is an effort And I didn't want this endeavor to be an island. I wanted it to be a bridge That's kind of the truth of it I kind of done this on my own I'm happy you guys stuck around to watching this first video diary um Stay tuned for the next one I'll see you later Hey guys, thanks for watching this episode If you like this stuff, you should check out I have notes or go ahead and click on one of the videos on screen to keep watching where roosterteeth animated content Or you can even go to roosterteeth.com and watch the show that we were talking about recorded by arsall Oh my god, you have so many choices. I'm really happy for you. Please go You


The Mantur Ramadan just started. That's the blessed period of fast charity and prayer for Muslims that are more than 3.5 million in the US and in growing number. Shahin Akhtar, a member of the Islamic center of Boston, shares the meaning of this special time. During this month it is obligatory on all adult Muslims, if they are in good health, to fast from dawn to sunset, which means abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activities during the fasting hours. But fasting for more than 14 hours per day, it's not an easy task. Especially for international students like Madiha Goma from Egypt, that for the first time found herself living Ramadan in a non-Muslim culture. So this is my first Ramadan in the US and I would say it's quite a challenge because Ramadan vibes and the atmosphere does not exist. Everyone is eating and drinking around you and like you need to practice self-control. According to a publication to Open Journals in Education, most Muslim international students in the US encounter difficulties to practice their prayers and traditions, especially for the lack of the sense of community. Rashik Mondira, graduate students from Bangladesh, shares her story. So it's a bit, it's a different kind of experience because mostly because I come from a Muslim-majority country, so it's like a festival around there. The whole Ramadan month is festival, everyone's like participating, it's a whole community thing. It's a very magical experience, but here it's not like that. Even though it's not like that, the spirit of Ramadan is very much alive. Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslim students is Peter Rossini reporting for BUTV10.


There What's that, let's name it Oh my Foo He's a cool guy, Mr. T. Also, I'm a personal YouTube channel, so I'm just gonna show you a little bit. You've read him? No. Also, it's the original A-Team, not the... Oh, no, no, no, no, no. But everyone like... I've never actually watched, I've seen clips now, but my wife was a huge fan, because she's a huge fan of basically anything, all old shows. She was a fan of, and I'm talking old, like, black and white, that era. Mash, Lucy, the honeymooners, and then Mash, and then, yeah. No, but yeah, Mr. T, he, I've only heard great things about him, and I've met him, and when I met him in the grocery store, he's literally like the guy that's... How you doing? How you doing?  You doing good in school? All right, that's good, because he loves when you... He's a really cool guy. Watched him when the same time Stallone found him, he found him because he won the world championships of bartending and bouncers. Bouncers for clubs, not bartending. And he ran through these tables and dove through a wall, head for, it was, that's how we got the role of Clever Lang. And Rocky III was winning a bouncer contest. Today we're acting with a comedy scene. Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, it's from, gotta start first. Isk, or Isk? From the 1997 comedy scene from with Amir Khan, Ajay Devgan, and Kajol. Kajol, wow! All right, Isk is a 1997 rom-com, starting Amir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Kajol, and Juhi Chawla. Any relationship to the Chawla we just saw in parched? I don't know. For context, Ajay, played by Ajay Devgan, and Raja, Amir Khan, are best friends. This scene is at a point in the film when Ajay falls in love with Kajol at first glance. It's a 90s Bollywood, so don't be surprised with some cheesy dialogues and actions. I would expect nothing less. That's good. Amir Khan can get some... He doesn't have as much cheese as the others, but he does have some, especially with... His kid Wardrobe, yeah. Wardrobe is usually the cheesiest thing about him. But Ajay Devgan. Yeah, we've yet to really see any cheese from him. He's pretty theorist, that's being... Let's see what happens. That's usually how I think of him. But here, we do that boom box. Boom box, get a blaster. I love you. Hey, you rascal, this is my house. I'm not enjoying it, I'm just sitting here. Come back, come back. I've been seeing you in this pose for three days. Forget that girl. She's in your life.  Or Sasha's life will be ruined. Come on, talk to her, ask her to help me first. Come on, let's go. Hey, listen to me, man. My mother once told me that three things in life should never happen. Bus, train, and girl. One goes, the other goes. Got it? The other goes, the third goes. The third goes, the fourth goes. The fourth goes, the fifth goes. The sixth goes. So to watch... Oh, is he gonna watch straight across that thing? You got the adrenaline rush. So much reverb on voice. I don't know. They know the reverb. Making sure there isn't a happy ending to the movie. Exactly. Seriously, is Akshay in there? Why is she in clothes on? She's bathing in a bathing suit. That's one heck of a tub. Good grief. I don't want that to go. Oh, I was like, did he just die? Thank you, Himanshu.  Also for the, I'm not subbing this again. Oh boy. That was so dumb. But funny.  It's over the top. Oh, I enjoyed that. It's like three stooches dumb. Yeah, exactly. Like nobody's gonna know who's gonna keep going once you open the door. No, and you want it, I'm waiting. I was hoping he'd land. I could have kept watching that. I thought he was gonna die, which would have been hilarious. I could have waited for the really, really bad fake body landing on the ground, and then they cut away and he's there, and they just land. They're just like, oh.  Regardless of if what he fell on was soft. And hey, I don't know. Maybe it is a common thing, and we just don't do that here, but do you all typically take baths in private, in bathing suits? Also in a massive, jacuzzi tub? Probably, I love taking baths. But the bathtubs are always, you can't get your body fully submerged. Not in a tub. Unless you get a special tub. You want, yeah, in normal apartments or houses that aren't custom or rich people? Right.  Obviously, if you have a tub, but I would love that tub. But bubble baths. I haven't had a bubble bath since I was a little kid. My wife loves baths and bubble baths. I love baths, but I don't do bubble baths. I don't like baths. I love baths. But funny scene. That was funny. I laughed quite a bit because of how absolutely ridiculous that was. And I'm sure this is one of those, like people grew up with this, and it's like their guilty pleasure.  I've never seen him make it. All we've seen him in are like serious roles. And then like, it's like the first time we, because remember the first time we saw Akshay was in Kasari. So we thought he was this big, serious Thetsbian. How many did we see? Okay, so Akshay and Kasari, which was a very serious dramatic role, Ranveer and Gully Boy, where he's this subdued, quiet, sartage, safe Oli Khan in sacred games. We've really had our first introduction to a lot of stars. I think it's because a lot of times people like to give us the best, they know that's what we like. Right, they want the best Thetsbian. The best Thetsbianatic performance. But obviously what they're known for is this big, being a big funny guy. But yeah, I've never seen, but very funny. Are you doing that thing? Like whole movies like that. Yeah. I would absolutely watch that in line.  It's like watching the Three Stooges episode. Well, yeah, Three Stooges настолько. So let us know what other company scenes we should react to down or down. Talk about this! May God give you a good end to your job! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 9. 9. 9. 9. 9. 10. 10. 10. 12. 13. 14. 14. 14. 18. 19. 19. 19. 20. 20. 19. 21. 21. 19.
