Youtube daily report Mar 9 2017

Before the video begins, i'd like to state a few things.

This video contains some very disturbing and violent stories coming from emergency workers

such as Emts, Paramedics, firefighters, 911 operators, etc.

I ask that you please respect them in the comments as these were very traumatic experiences

for them I hope that this video spreads awareness on

how hard their jobs are, and some lessons for you to take with you.

If you can't handle extremely gruesome stories, this may not be the video for you.

That being said, let's begin

Number 1 Law Enforcement/EMT here

There was a family of 4 in the car.

Mom driving, teenage daughter in front seat, grandma and 5 year old son in the back.

The mom was texting and driving and didn't notice a huge sweeping curve in the road,

went head on (driver to driver) with a gravel hauler 18 wheeler without either of them having

time to touch the brakes.

My partner arrived a minute before me and the first thing I saw upon arrival was him,

crying, carrying the lifeless 5 year old boy away from the car covered in all kinds of

fluids.

I approached what remained of the vehicles passenger side and there was blood and brain

matter all over.

The mom, who was the driver, was just pieces.

Completely severed arm still trapped between steering wheel and dash/hood/engine.

The grandmother was pinned behind her, broken back and neck, internally decapitated.

Only the teenage daughter in the front seat survived, which is how we determined the mom

was texting and driving.

I've responded to a lot of gross/gruesome things, but this was easily the most disturbing.

My daughter was the same age as the little boy and I will never shake the image of his

sad lifeless body and my partner crying while carrying him away.

Like the others said, generally things involving kids are harder to deal with.

For fucks sake don't text and drive.

Number 2 I was a dispatcher for 10 years.

When I think of one of my more disturbing calls, a couple come to mind.

There was an elderly man who called and said, "I've killed my wife.

Ill be in the back yard when you get here."

He hung up.

Turns out, his wife was terminally ill and she wanted to die, so he shot her.

Then he walked into the yard to shoot himself because he couldn't live without her.

This was both the most romantic thing and most tragic thing I've ever heard.

Number 3 Paramedic here.

Its like 11:30 at night and we get a call for a pregnant lady experiencing cramps and

vaginal bleeding.

Great.

Get on scene and we find this lady standing in her driveway shaking, pale and altered.

She wouldnt answer my questions and no one else was around.

I figured she lost alot of blood and once we got her in the ambulance, I used a dopler

to listen for fetal heart tones.

Nothing.

I told my partner that i was gonna check inside to see if anybody else was there so I grabbed

a flashlight and headed towards the open garage.

I noticed alot of blood trailing inside so i followed it, turning on house lights as

I go.

It lead me through the garage, the kitchen, the living room and into the bathroom where

the only light in the house was already on.

I called out "Paramedics!

Anyone here?"

No answer.

I open the bathroom door and note the blood trailing towards the toilet.

Right next to the toilet was a miscarried (28-32 week) fetus.

It was gross.

It smelled horrible and I suddenly felt really freaked out.

I remembered that mothers tend to still require bonding time with their kid after a miscarriage

so I picked the kid up and put the body in a bag, then returned to the ambulance.

Once inside, my partner had started fluids on the patient and I told him what I found.

We decided to just hit the road and get her to the hospital and enroute.

She didnt say anything for a while.

Finally, the mom looked at me and simply and quietly asked if she could have her baby.

I said "of course" and handed her the dead fetus (still in the bag).

She teared up and held it tight for the rest of the trip.

I just sat there quietly observing her vitals and holding her hand.

Number 4

Passengers keep your seatbelts on, and your feet on the floor.

seriously.

The only call I projectile vomited on.

There was a husband driving, and his wife was in passenger and her feet were in a squatting

position on the dash when they were rear ended and shoved into a boat trailer.

Her left femur turned to powder when it made contact with her left shoulder, shattered

both her tib and fib.

Also her scapula and her leg actually ended up looping over her shoulder and her foot/ankle

was resting between her back and the seatrest.

At first I thought it was a scarf, i was wrong.

Her right knee managed to get shoved back directly into her jaw, knocked out all her

teeth, shattered her jaw and split it in 2 directions.

Her tounge and major mouth/neck muscles were halfway swallowed then attempted to be thrown

back up.

My partners in the backseat holding her head still while im throwing a collar on her, planning

a tracheaotimy to help her breathe.

Ill never forget her eyes and head shaking, like everything in her was trying to reboot

and figure out what the fuck just happened.

We try to punch a breathing hole but her hyoid bone was fragmented everywhere.

We all kinda sat there for a second, trying to make her comfortable as she had some last

thrashes and passed.

EMTs work their asses off while trying to get you to the ER, we pretty much just drag

you out of the car, secure you in the ambulance and get going.

Your best chance is our speediness But with her, she didnt even look human.

We tried cpr, we tried aeds, everytime we touched her, she responded with bubble wrap

sounds of shattered rib cages, neck filled with blood, bone, and sinew, and her legs

are still wrapped all over herself.

We never got her breathing again, and she was pronounced DOA.

That was the call that made me quit.

She looked like my mom. or what I guessed she looked like if in one piece.

Number 5

I wanted to tell this story because there's a lesson to be learned from it.

I luckily didn't respond to this one, but my FTO did.

Husband and wife are at home, cooking.

Wife dumps boiled water all over the front of her lap.

Husband panics, throws her into his truck, and goes flying to the hospital.

He's going approximately 80 in a 50, late at night.

He crests a small hill and his truck leaves the pavement ever so slightly so he swerved,

can't brake, slams into the back of a dump truck attempting to make a turn.

Wife dies instantly, head is caved in by the corner of the dump trucks bumper.

I had the pleasure of seeing the wreckage of the truck everyday in our impound yard

as we investigated the incident.

The husband got charged with manslaughter, idk what ever happened with that, but on top

of dealing with killing his wife, he was a wreck.

Moral of the story, never attempt to drive someone to the hospital like that unless it

is imminent life or death, CALL AN AMBULANCE.

First responders are trained to drive at a high rate of speed, and can stabilize a patient.

Number 6

This was when I was still on placement for being a paramedic.

We got sent to a sketchy hotel/low income building for a "check the welfare, funny smell

coming from the room".

So we get to the dodgey apartment and head upstairs to the room with the little Chinese

landlord.

On the way down the hall, the smell hit you, like a dead rotting flesh kind of smell.

So we get to the room, landlord unlocks the door.

The door won't open so he had to body check the door open.

There was knives jammed in the door frame to keep the door wedged shut which we thought

was a little sketchy.

We decided to wait for the police to show up before we entered the room.

So we're waiting and we can see that the bathroom is right next to the entrance and there's

a tap running.

So me and partner basically say fuck it let's go check it out.

So we head into the apartment, drug paraphernalia everywhere.

We turn into the bathroom, find the bathroom sink that was running and a lady in the bathroom.

She is green like hulk green, bloated, skin rotting,smells like death clearly has been

dead for at least a week.

That was definitely one of the most memorable disgusting calls I've been on.

Number 7

Firefighter here.

Once responded to a vehicle vs 18-wheelers accident, where the car pulled out in front

of the truck, which was going approx 70mph.

The car caught fire afterward.

Dispatch initially called it out as a vehicle fire, and when we arrived, it looked like

a car had exploded in the middle of the 5-lane highway.

We pulled the passenger out upon arrival, and I vividly remember my captain spraying

him down with the hose, because he was burning.

He likely died upon impact, but everything except his right arm, which had been out the

window, was severely burned.

My engineer, who pulled him out, said on first grab, he felt the skin give way all the way

to the bone.

That's how badly the passenger was burned.

After the accident and the fire, all that remained of the driver was a pile of human

parts melted into what remained of the seat and driver floorboard.

It was unrecognizable until the coroner started trying to pull it out and I saw some ribs.

Part of the driver's face had been cut off upon impact, and was laying in the roadway

among the assorted car parts.

It had hair.

It haunted me for a

long time.

OH MY GOD! President Trump Just KILLED More Terrorists In 1 Day Than Obama Did In An ENTIRE YEAR! - Duration: 2:32.

OH MY GOD! President Trump Just KILLED More Terrorists In 1 Day Than Obama Did In An ENTIRE

YEAR!

By Lindsey Bruce.

President Trump just DEMOLISHED the terrorist group �Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula�,

also known as AQAP.

The AQAP was formed in 2009 around the time Obama took office and was largely ignored

by the former president.

President Trump is NOT making the same mistake.

�The U.S. military has launched nearly 40 airstrikes in Yemen over the past two nights

targeting Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to U.S. officials. The airstrikes

indicate a higher level of operations being taken against the terror group by the U.S.

military.�

Compare that to the pathetic 38 airstrikes Obama order in the ENTIRE YEAR of 2016!

Under Obama, AQAP has become what US officials have described as �the most active operational

franchise� of al-Qaeda beyond Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The group has vowed to target oil facilities, foreigners and security forces as it seeks

to topple the Saudi and Yemeni governments, and establish an Islamic caliphate.

It has claimed responsibility for a large number of attacks in the two countries, in

which hundreds of people have been killed, as well as a series of sophisticated airline

bomb plots targeting the US that were narrowly foiled.

President trump has untied the hands of our generals to go after these terrorist targets,

and our military is grateful.

As the Washington Times reports,

�Pentagon sources says military commanders had been frustrated by the slow approval process

for strikes under President Obama, which was seen as needlessly cumbersome and often required

lengthy decision memos to be submitted to the president.

Under the new procedures, sources say, the Trump will remain informed, but Defense Secretary

Jim Mattis and his combatant commanders will be free to take the gloves off as they see

fit.�

Obama may have sat back and let terrorist groups flourish, but it�s a new day in America.

We FINALLY have a leader who cares more about killing terrorist than offending them!

LOTR: Beren and Lúthien (Part 2 of 2) - Duration: 9:11.

Far from the shadow lands of the dark lord Morgoth, Luthien, princess of Doriath felt

the terrible pain of her beloved Beren, as he withered away in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Sauron's

deadly island fortress.

At once she wished to come to his aid, enlisting the help of her friend Daeron the Minstrel,

but he betrayed her, revealing her plans to Thingol and commissioning the creation of

a beautiful house within a large tree.

Housing Luthien there and removing any way for her leave the home.

But she refused to give up and used magic to grow her hair long, then using it as material

to make an enchanted robe cast with a spell placing any who looked upon her to sleep.

She also fashioned a rope, using it to climb down and escape.

While travelling through the forest she was discovered by Huan the wolfhound of Valinor,

once a hunting companion of the Vala Orome, who'd been made ageless, tireless and sleepless,

even granted the gift of speech, though was only allowed to speak only 3 times during

his life.

It was prophesized When the Noldor elves still lived in valinor,

Orome gave Huan to his friend Celegorm, son of Feanor, to protect him and serve by his

side.

Huan was so powerful the spell of Luthien had no effect on him, and so he captured the

elven maiden and brought her before his master.

Celegorm and Curufin, who'd been opposed to Finrod's journey with Beren, then used

the situation to their advantage.

Struck by her beauty and seeing the tremendous merits in marrying the daughter of King Thingol,

Celegorm sent a letter to Doriath telling them of Luthien's arrival and of their impending

marriage.

Yet so lovely a creature was Luthien, that even the Hound Huan loved her, and so he spoke

for the first time, helping her escape from captivity.

When they arrived at Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Luthien sang a song that could be heard throughout

the area.

It even reached Beren as he wallowed in the darkness of his prison.

The man then summoned the last of his strength and sang his own song, which Luthien heard.

But Sauron too learned of her location and send his werewolves to stop them.

One by one Huan battled and tore apart these enemies, until Sauron sent Draugluin, first

and oldest of their kind, and Lord of the werewolves of Angband.

He engaged in a great battle with Huan but could not best him, and so Draugluin fled,

escaping back to his master and warning him of Huan's presence before dying from his

injuries.

Sauron then took the form of a werewolf and went to confront the beast himself, engaging

in yet another terrible battle, transforming into a snake and his own form during the fighting

but still Huan would not relent, defeating the Lord of the Isle and forcing him into

surrender.

Yet as soon as Huan released him he changed form into a bat and flew away.

Luthien then searched and found beren in his prison, and the two were at last reunited.

They then buried Finrod and left the area.

Huan the hound, satisfied that he'd done his duty to Luthien, returned to nargothrond

to continue serving Celegorm, though the son of Feanor no longer had the same love for

the creature he'd once felt.

In addition to Huan, many of the prisoners Luthien had freed from Sauron's prisons

returned to Nargothrond, and as they were loyal to the deceased king Finrod, persuaded

the Noldor that the sons of Feanor had evil in their hearts and were wrong to have spoken

against the king.

And so both Celegorm and Curufin were banished from the realm, sent to find refuge with their

brothers in the east.

Beren meanwhile continued on his mission to claim a silmaril, and while he desired that

Luthien remain behind or return to Doriath for her own safety, she outright refused,

insisting that they not be parted.

Yet once again conflict found them, as the sons of feanor happened upon them in the forest,

and again tried to steal Luthien away.

Although Huan the Hound once again turned on his master during the engagement, protecting

Beren and Luthien, Beren was gravely injured while diving in front of his beloved, taking

an arrow in the chest for her protection.

Huan then chased the sons of Feanor away and returned with special herb, which added to

the magic of Luthien saved Beren's life.

Continuing on their journey, Huan brought them the skin of the Werewolf Draugluin and

the Batfell Thuringwëthil, speaking for the 2nd time and advising that they used them

as disguises, then saying goodbye because he could go no further.

As they travelled into Angband Luthien also used her magic to put any who gazed upon them

to sleep.

Even Carcharoth, servant of Morgoth and the most powerful werewolf to exist fell to her

enchantment as he looked upon them.

Beren and Luthien then snuck through the fortress of Angband, into Morgoth's chamber and even

the Dark Lord could not resist Luthien's spell, entranced by her beauty and put to

sleep by her magic.

Beren then cut a simaril from the iron crown, and was so elated by his success, he attempted

to take a second simaril, in the hopes of collecting all three.

However his blade broke as he cut the second jewel, causing a shard of steel to cut Morgoth's

cheek stirring him from sleep.

Beren and Luthien, forgetting about the other jewels, than hastily made their escape from

the fortress.

However Carcharoth, now awoken, confronted them as they escaped and so Beren pulled out

the simaril, hoping it's brilliant light would scare the creature away.

The werewolf instead bit off Beren's hand, swallowing the simaril and immediately turning

to madness as it burned his insides.

Carcharoth went on a rampage through the forest, ignoring Beren and Luthien.

Just then, as all of Angband awoke, threatening to destroy them, the Eagles of Manwe arrived,

having been summoned by Huan the Hound, able to carry the man and elf maiden to safety.

Again Luthien's magic saved Beren's life, and the couple having ended their mission

in failure, returned to Doriath, presenting themselves before king and telling of their

astonishing adventure.

Although Beren had not succeeded in bringing back the Simaril, Thingol was marvelled by

the story, seeing clearly that this was no ordinary human, and that indeed he was worthy

of marrying his daughter.

With Beren now accepted among them, the King organized a great hunt, travelling into the

forests of Doriath to slay the beast Carcharoth, who was slaughtering everything in his path.

Alongside the King, Beren joined in the hunt, along with Huan the Hound and many other Lords

and heroes of Doriath.

As they searched for the creature, Carcharoth was the first to attack, leaping out to kill

the king.

Yet beren leaped before him with a spear which was knocked aside as the creature bit into

the human's chest.

Huan then charged forth against the werewolf engaging in a viscious battle as Beren lay

dying.

And while Carcharoth was defeated, Huan suffered terrible injuries, using the last of his strength

walk over to Beren and lay by his side, speaking for the third and final time to bid farwell

before dying.

One of Thingol's men then cut open the werewolf beast and removed the simaril placing it in

Beren's hand, so he might fulfil his vow and present the jewel to the King.

Although he was so badly injured Beren could no longer speak, he held on to life just long

enough to gaze upon Luthien one last time before dying.

As was the fate of men, Beren's spirit was transported to the Halls of Mandos where he

would wait for a time before leaving the world entirely.

Yet even before the mighty Valar Beren was steadfast, refusing to proceed into the afterlife

until he saw Luthien again and said a proper goodbye.

Luthien meanwhile could not live without her love and so died shortly after Beren, her

spirit then going to the Halls of Mandos, to be among the elves who would be reborn

in Arda.

There she sang a beautiful song of sorrow which moved Mandos to pity.

And so he went to seek council from Manwe, Lord of the Valar, who consulted with their

creator Eru to determine the fate of Beren and Luthien.

And so she was offered a choice.

Either Luthien could continue on to the Elven afterlife, or else she could be reborn alongside

beren in middle earth, destined to live a mortal life, and share in the fate of men.

Rejecting the gift of immortality, she chose to live a life with Beren and so they spent

the rest of their lives together, living in Tol Galen of Ossiriand, and having a son they

named Dior, who would be the heir of King Thingol.

Dior was believed to be the one of the most beautiful beings to ever live, because in

his veins ran the blood Men, Elves, and even the blood of the Ainur, through his grandmother

Melian.

Only once more did Beren involve himself in the affairs of Beleriand, gathering together

a group of Green-Elves and Ents, to ambush the Dwarves of Nogrod, who'd destroyed Doriath

and killed King thingol.

Stealing from him the necklace Nauglamir.

Once Thingol was avenged and the treasure recovered, Beren gave the beautiful prize

to his wife Luthien and the two continued to live together for many years, dying a peaceful

death at the same time in their older age.

For thousands of years the tale of Beren and Luthien inspired and enthralled the peoples

of middle earth, standing as a shining example of a love so strong none could stand between

them.

Further it was the first known marriage between a human and elf, creating a bloodline that

would endure until the end of the world.

FINAL FANTASY XV - Noctis Lost in translation - Duration: 10:08.

As I was going through my journey in Final Fantasy XV, I quickly fell in love with the game's main cast.

I personally opted for playing the game with Japanese voices.

Not because I have anything against the English version; it's just a matter of preference.

Neither one of the languages are my mother tongue so I don't feel particularly biased towards one or the other,

I just happen to prefer the Japanese voices a bit more, that's really all there is to it.

Anyway, after having gotten to know the main characters relatively well, I spoke my friend

and he said some some things about Noctis that I didn't feel like I agreed with.

After that I ended up talking to more friends online that had played the game in English

and they said the same things about his character.

Which - you guessed it - is why I'm currently making this video right now.

It made me think of the up's and down's of localizations

and how often they're misrepresented as being direct translations.

The difference between them being that a translation is simply taking a work

and directly translating it into another language

language whilst staying as true to the original work as grammar and language differences will allow you to.

A localization means taking a work, translating it and modifying it

to be more appealing and understandable to another culture.

A very well-known example of localization gone a bit wonky is in the Pokémon series.

Ash, Misty and Brock are seen eating rice balls or onigiri.

Considering that onigiri's aren't exactly a common snack in the West,

they changed the script and called them donuts instead in English.

This is of course very silly to the older kids who can clearly see that what they are eating aren't donuts,

but considering it's a show targeted at young children, the idea of them eating donuts works just fine.

The reason I'm bringing up the differences between localization and translation

is because it's important to remember that any foreign media that has been localized

is going to be modified to appeal more to us; as in the Western audience.

This hit me harder than I expected when it came to FFXV.

It goes without saying that the characters aren't going to be exactly the same

across the different versions of the game

considering that they're trying to appeal to very different cultures.

But unfortunately; I feel like the localized version of Noctis

ended up in a place where the original Japanese version was trying very hard to not go.

Noctis was created by Tetsuya Nomura,

who actively strived to make Noctis different from previous Final Fantasy protagonists.

In an interview with Famitsu, Nomura stated that he wished for Noctis' character to feel like a fresh breeze.

Noctis was written to be more of the shy and socially awkward type.

He just wants the best for everyone and doesn't want to let anyone down.

Nomura didn't want Noctis to be compared to Cloud or Squall,

both whom he refers to as being silent and dreary.

Unfortunately though, with the release of the English localization,

that was exactly what happened.

Many American game reviewers outed Noctis as being a ''Cloud clone''

or nothing but a standard gloomy anime kid.

Which is sort of understandable.

English Noctis is rather sassy and snappy.

Although he's certainly pretty socially awkward, he's more brash and less reserved.

One rather small yet significant difference that I noticed during the game

are the lines that are delivered during the little ''friend tours''

that will be triggered at specific camping sites throughout the game.

If you successfully manage to complete these little tours,

a very short scene will play afterwards where Noctis and which ever one of the three others

that invited you out on the tour are walking back to camp.

So let's take a quick look at them.

Here I feel like it's very important to mention

that I am in no way trying to criticize Ray Chase's performance as Noctis

Noctis as I think he did a wonderful job with the script that he was given.

It's not that Noctis was written as an uninteresting character in Japanese

and that he had to be changed for the English localization because he was too boring,

but his Japanese character wouldn't have resonated as much with the Western audience.

When the Japanese voices were announced,

I saw a lot of critique towards the Japanese performance of Noctis.

The main problems seemed to be that he sounded ''too young'' and ''too cheerful.''

This is an obvious case of people comparing two languages when they only speak one of them

as well as overlooking cultural differences.

Our localized Noctis sounds a bit more raspy and a bit older than the Japanese Noctis,

which is most likely, completely intentional.

But in Japan, Noctis isn't quite the same character.

He wasn't written in the same way that our Noctis was.

He's a bit more awkward and soft-spoken in Japan.

He also sounds like a 20 year old because that was how he was written.

He wasn't created with the intention of being a smart-ass

but an insecure young guy who's trying his best to cope as his world is falling apart around him.

Even though he tries to put up the cool impassive demeanor,

in the end, he's just too emotional for it.

I understand that it obviously sounds like I'm very biased towards the Japanese release,

which is somewhat true.

I don't dislike the localized version of Noctis but I feel as if it's very important to address

that he's not the same character throughout the different versions.

And in my own personal opinion, like the additional quips and sass

sass that were added to him with the English release, his character fell into the trap of becoming a more generic protagonist.

Which is very much what Nomura stated that he didn't want Noctis to be.

Like I mentioned earlier, it's not that he's a bad character in any way shape or form

but the fact that he was deprived of the things that were supposed to make him unique when the localization came around

for the sake of making him more appealing to the West makes me sad.

Again, this isn't to criticize either Ray Chase or Tatsuhisa Suzuki

as I really think they both did an amazing job in their respective languages.

Of course you can find a voice to be more or less pleasing to the ear.

The fact that you like or dislike a voice more is completely subjective

and only you can say what voice you find to be more pleasing to listen to.

But there's a difference in disliking a person's voice and criticizing their acting work.

Just because someone has a voice that you don't find pleasing, doesn't make them a bad actor.

Just as having a ''nice voice'' doesn't automatically make someone a good actor.

There are always going to be people that are never going to give up their exclusive original Japanese voices

voices and there are people that just don't want to play games in any other language than English

and that's fine.

With a game like FFXV where we players get to choose between four different languages,

it's really up to you what language you feel like playing the game in.

You're allowed to prefer one version over the other and to be biased towards an actor's voice

but it's super not cool to belittle another iteration because of the language that it's been done in

when you don't have the tools necessary to fully understand it.

It may come as a shock, but not every language works like English does.

Speech patterns are different and different words hold different levels of connotations.

But in order to accurately understand any work

it's important to have a broad understanding of the language that you're working with.

The reason why I'm only discussing the Japanese and the English version in this video

video is because I don't consider myself fluent enough in either French or German

in order to be able to catch onto the things that are unique to both languages.

At the end of the day, localizations are necessary

as they allow for all kinds of media to be appreciated all over the world.

A localizer's job is essentially to take a work

and make it enjoyable to a person who is part of a completely different culture.

However, this means that the original work is always at risk of losing its original meaning.

Japanese and English are two very different languages

which means that subtle verbal hints, speech patterns and puns are going to be lost in translation.

The work's different notions and theories are still intact

but they've been modified so that different people will be able to relate to them and understand them better.

If the game had been translated literally word-for-word

it would have been really bad

like, borderline unplayable.

It's important to remember that as long at the original creator's message isn't completely lost;

there's no harm with localizations.

Noctis is a character that I personally took a strong liking too

which is why I'm very passionate about this subject.

A part of me just can't help but to feel that he was done dirty with the English localization of the game.

Which truly does make me sad.

But it's really hard to hit a homerun with one single character throughout a vastly different set of cultures

and that's just something that I'll have to learn to accept.

I'm working on it, I swear.

I would really appreciate it if you would comment down below what language you played the game in

and how you feel about Noctis' character.

Or really just the whole main cast in general.

I would also like to give a quick shoutout to Aether for letting me use his music in this video.

He is a very talented dude so make sure you check him out at soundcloud.com/aetheraudio

I will put a link down below in the description.

I hope you found this video interesting, please give it a thumbs up if you did.

Thank you for watching!

Back To Brick & Barley - Bar Rescue, Season 5 - Duration: 2:25.

-I love it. -Yeah, you kinda kept everything, huh?

-We did keep just about everything. -Yeah, just about?

-Women: Just about. -What changed?

We didn't keep any of your drinks.

-Not one? Not a single one? -Not one. No.

Here's the thing, we did keep 'em

-for about 60 days. -A whole 60 days.

We still have our core group here

and that core group is the beer drinker.

And I understand we're really trying to appeal to women,

but our core group here is men.

So, what we did is we sort of went with

the Irish mule because that seems to be something

-that the guys will order. -Well, knock me out a mule.

Absolutely.

One of the reasons we put that influence in

for that drink menu was to help build the business.

Anything good we're doing isn't gonna be done overnight.

I was a little taken back by the fact

that they scraped the entire cocktail menu.

Everything had a reason.

There was a science behind everything we put into this place.

I expected to see a lot more female faces

when I walked in the door. We have failed.

-What about the food menu? -We got rid of the Brat Salad

-and we got rid of Pork Schnitzel. -Was it not selling?

AJ: These guys see the word "bratwurst,"

they don't think of salad.

They kind of made fun of it.

When you see things at 60 days and go, "It's not working"...

maybe it's you that's not working.

Maybe it's you that's not pushing hard enough,

or marketing hard enough or spreading the word.

You're not here, you're not in Arizona.

You don't know anything about this

because what I'm saying is that I'm getting

these guys back, we are trying to cater to what they like.

Danny: You're playing to the core group.

How's this financially helping your business?

Brick and Barley paid all of its own bills in the summer

and let me tell you what, in the State of Arizona

that is almost unheard of.

We are not adding to the debt.

-Okay, so that's a step forward. -And let me tell you what.

When you guys were here, we did not have chefs.

We have chefs now, and these guys are having a blast with it.

We have so many great things on the menu

because we have chefs now, and what we've done,

is we have the barbecue pork sliders.

Throw down an order.

Let me taste them. Let me try some of those.

-All right. -But I'm gonna taste this mule.

-I'm gonna see what's up with it. -AJ: Give it a try.

It's a damn good drink.

-AJ: Give it a try. -Tangy pulled pork slider.

-That's amazing. -Thank you.

If I had one thing to say about Brick and Barley's future,

it would be "Stay consistent with the entire concept

that we've created for them."

I expected to see a lot more female faces

when I walked in the door.

I really hoped she'd still place favor

to that side of the clientèle

because, believe me, women will bring money.

Diva: I wanna have tank tops.

AJ: Can you just wear it for awhile?

(audience applauding)

How The Different Phases of the Moon Affect You! - Duration: 4:36.

How The Different Phases of the Moon Affect You!

BY GOSTICA.

The moon effects many things around us, such as the tides, the seasons and the earth�s

rotation, but did you know that the different phases of the moon can also have an effect

on your mind, body and energies?

Why not find out a little more about what to expect during each phase of the moon�

The New Moon

The New Moon occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth, and is therefore in

darkness because the side of the moon we see is not lit by the sun.

This moon phase is known as a time for new beginnings, and it can affect us in many ways.

We tend to have more energy during the new moon, experiencing sudden spurts of energy

� take advantage of this!

Our appetite also increases during this time.

You might feel restless and are more likely to wake up early in the mornings.

Recommended: Spiritual Meaning of The New Moon and How to Use Its Power

You might find that during the new moon your mind is full of new ideas!

You will find tasks such as writing easier, and you will suddenly have clearer insight

on certain situations.

Use this time to make full advantage of your extra creativity and clear mind.

Your feelings will be a little more delicate and you might feel slightly shy, nervous or

self-conscious during a new moon.

You may find it beneficial to avoid large crowds for this reason.

First Quarter

Occurring after the new moon, this phase is symbolic of construction and momentum.

You may notice an increase in thirst and hunger during this phase, and you might find that

you lose weight.

Your energy starts to become more balanced, however, between 10am and 2pm will be best

for any physical activity.

Any feelings of anxiety or shyness begin to reduce and you start to feel more balanced

during the first quarter moon.

You will start to feel more outgoing, although it is also normal to feel slightly detached

during this phase.

During a first quarter moon, plans will start to develop and you are at risk of taking on

more than you should, so be careful not to exert yourself too much.

Full Moon

The moons power is at its strongest during a full moon and all efforts will begin to

show.

Our physical energy increases during a full moon, our strength and stamina increases making

it a great time to work out and exercise.

Sexuality is at a peak at this phase and we are also more likely to remember our dreams

and stay up later than usual, as energy peaks in the evening.

Opposite to the new moon, a full moon is when we are most likely to enjoy crowds, we are

more confident and sociable during this stage.

We also find ourselves to be more talkative and willing to share ideas with others.

Last Quarter

The last quarter occurs after the full moon and is known as a time for reflection, analysing

and clear thinking.

Our appetite can decrease during the last quarter, energy levels dip and we may find

ourselves more likely to need a nap and have a lazy afternoon, listen to your body and

take some time out if needed.

Recommended: This is What the Moon Means In Each Zodiac Sign

Emotionally, we crave attention during the last quarter phase.

We become clingier and feel the need to be cared for by others.

You may notice slight weight loss during this moon phase.

If you�re focused on achieving something specific, or are intrigued by what situations

you should avoid and when, then understanding the moon phases might help

to plan ahead!

TINY HOUSE MINUTE: Tiny House Financing Life Hack! - Duration: 2:01.

Andrew Morrison here from TinyHouseBuild.com

with another "Tiny House

Minute"! I want to talk today about

financing your tiny house build.

There's a lot of options out there of

course but one that's not explored that

often is something available through

Home Depot. Now there's a lot of

different cards you can get at Home

Depot. You can get a "project loan". You can

get some financing if you're a

commercial business. You can actually get

commercial loans and things like that

but the best thing to use for a tiny

house project is actually called the

"project loan". Now the idea behind the

project loan is it's set up to give you up

to $55,000 at a fixed 7.99%

interest rate. That's a very good

interest rate especially when you're dealing with

what could basically be considered an unsecured loan. The

way that it works is that for this first six

months you have the opportunity to

purchase your materials. After that six

months it locks you into a seven-year

payment plan. So, you could wait and and

still buy things after that six month

period but you're already making

payments at that point for that

seven year period, or 84 month period. So

let's give you an example: if you were to say

take $30,000 loan you would be

looking at paying $468 a month

for seven years. Now you may want to pay

that off early because seven years is a

long time and that's fine. There are no

prepayment penalties whatsoever so it's

a great option to get a pretty

good amount of money (up to $55,000)

at a low-interest-rate 7.99 with

very little background in terms of what

you have to provide. You basically just have to

qualify for the loan and it gives you

the ability to pay it off without any

penalties which is a great aspect as

well. I want to give a shout-out to

Hannah Rose Crabtree from pocketmansions.com

who gave us the lead on

this idea of using Home Depot as a

financing option so thanks a lot Hannah!

We appreciate it!

Who and What Is God? - Duration: 27:47.

God is a mystery to most people.

Learn about His eternal history, and the future He has in store for YOU, next, on The Key

of David, with Gerald Flurry.

Greetings, everyone.

This world is FILLED with religions.

But did you know that the God of the Bible says this world does not KNOW Him, it does

not know God?

He is a MYSTERY to them.

That's of course explained both in the Old and the New Testament of the Bible.

The Bible also states very emphatically that this world is far, far from God, spiritually,

dangerously far from God in that way.

And if you ask people about, "Well, when does this oldest time or the earliest time BEGIN

in the Bible?," most of them would tell you, well, they'd go to Genesis 1 and verse 1.

But that's not even really CLOSE to the truth, and it is THERE where the mystery really begins.

We have to go back to the EARLIEST time if we're going to sort this out and SEE why God

is a mystery.

There is cause and effect, and there is a reason why.

So let's take a look at that concept, and we'll begin in John 1 and verse 1.

John 1 and verse 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the

Word WAS God."

Now, this verse talks about the Word being WITH God, and that's a word that's actually

a VISION in itself.

It's just not a preposition that denotes place or space, but it refers to the closest relationship

two Beings could have, the Word and God.

That intimacy was there to illustrate to us how it COULD be and WILL be shortly on this

Earth.

But for eons and eons of time, God and the Word were living in perfect love and harmony.

And you look at this world and you see the difference, and you KNOW that God is a mystery

to this world because they may THINK they're following God, but where is the love?

Where is the harmony?

Where is the unity that God and the Word had for all eternity?

But the word "WITH" means just that; unity and a loving, close agape love relationship,

and that's God's own love.

But let's go back to that earliest time that pre-dates Genesis 1 and verse 1, and we'll

see where the mystery begins about God, and in a profound way.

And of course, if you start with the wrong premise, then you're going to get a very BAD

outcome.

There is no other way to express that.

But here let's read what it says in, well, first of all I guess I can just mention that

in this John 1 and verse 1 you could say, "Well, OK, how many Gods is God talking about

there in that first verse that predates all creation?"

When that timeframe was there, there was no angels, there was no universe, and there were

no men just the Word and God.

Now, you could say, well, I guess most or a lot of religions would say, "Well, there's

one God," or "There's three Gods," but in that verse, it's so clear, it's just as starkly

clear as it could be, it says there are two Gods, two Gods.

God and the Word, and they became the Father and the Son.

You can see, we'll show you that in these verses here.

The Holy Spirit is not a personage.

It is the POWER of God, and it is the POWER we need to become a Son.

I'll show you that in a moment.

But it talks in Acts about pouring out the Holy Spirit on men.

You don't do that with a personage.

You do it with the POWER God likens to water and oil and the like.

But let's go through that John 1, verses 1 through 4 and I want to show you something.

In" the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him;" the Word, "and without him was not any thing made that was

made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

Now here we have a time when God is explaining to us how we ought to have abundant LIFE,

we ought to have LIGHT to give to this world; that's what we ought to have.

And let's go on down to verse 14.

We just see here what the Word or the Spokesman has to say: "And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)

full of grace and truth."

Here you have, still you see God and the Word.

But what happened?

Something really TERRIFIC happens with God and the Word.

There's a BIG change here that has everything to do with your future!

And we HAVE to understand that or we're going no place spiritually.

Here is a quote from Herbert W. Armstrong in his book, Mystery of the Ages: "The Word,

then, is a Personage who was made flesh, begotten by God, who through this later begettal became

his Father.

Yet at that prehistoric time of the first verse of John 1, the Word was not (yet) the

Son of God.

He divested himself of his glory as a Spirit divinity to be begotten as a human person.

He was made God's Son, through being begotten or sired by God and born of the virgin Mary."

Now, how many people believe THAT?

See, how many people really BELIEVE that, where God and the Word became the Father and

the Son?

This is a MYSTERY to the world!

From the very BEGINNING of the earliest time in the Bible you see where they are getting

way off-track.

Can you count three Gods, as many people believe there are, making the Holy Spirit a God, which

it is NOT, and you can prove that very easily.

But you see, here's where God became the Father and the Word became the Son.

The Father and the Son.

And what is the purpose of all of THAT?

Why was THAT necessary?

Well, God is about to re-create Himself in MEN, that is if you look at the timeframe

here.

And in Hebrews 2 (I'll just mention this, paraphrase that) it talks about Christ "bringing

many sons unto glory," many SONS to glory.

Now, He's the firstborn of many brethren, and the only begotten of the Father in a woman,

and here He says He brings "many sons unto glory."

It's about bringing sons to glory, bringing you to glory, bringing us INTO the very Family

of God.

Father, Son, Sons, and we are, the firstfruits are, the bride of Christ, Husband, Wife, Family.

Notice verse 10 and 12 of John 1, I want to read that to you: "He was in the world, and

the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."

Now, the world didn't know Him, if you can believe that.

Well, : "He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, even to

them that believe on his name:" Now, here the world didn't know Christ, and yet it says

that those that did receive Him, He gave POWER, He gave the Holy Spirit to them, and the POWER

to become Sons of God.

It does take POWER!

It takes God's POWER to overcome and enter into God's Family.

It certainly does!

The world does not know Christ, though; that's what it's saying.

It does not know the Son of God; it doesn't know about really, about the Family of God.

They don't understand that, and it's right here in the very earliest time mentioned in

the Bible, by far.

So we have this power that God wants to give ALL of us, and if we receive Him and receive

this understanding, He gives us POWER, He gives us the POWER to become Sons of God!

What could be more important than THAT?

NOTHING to you or to me.

Let me read now what it says in John 17, verses 25 and 26..This is the prayer, Christ's prayer

the night before He was crucified.

Listen to what He has to say: "O righteous Father," He called Him Father, "the world

hath not known thee:" the world hasn't even KNOWN you, "but I have known thee, and these

have known that thou hast sent me.

(26) And I have declared unto them thy name," the Family name, and no mystery there, if

we understand that, "and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me

may be in them, and I in them."

See, they LOVED each other; for ALL eternity they LOVED each other.

And that's the way of life He's going to bring to this WORLD, to give us unity and harmony

and joy and happiness.

THAT'S what this world SHOULD have had for six thousand years, but we've REBELLED against

God.

We haven't wanted to let Him teach us.

Why?

Well, let me show you, just read a couple of scriptures to you.

I don't want to take up much time here, but Ezekiel is an end-time book, and it's for

this very time today, and it shows that the world has never REALLY known God.

And this is addressed to Israel, the nations of Israel in this end time, and if you don't

know who they are, you need our book on The United States and Britain in Prophecy because

it IS for our time and it's for our people today.

Verse 7 of Ezekiel 6: "And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know

that I am the LORD."

Now, you see here, God says He has to PUNISH people before they're ever going to KNOW Him,

and He repeats this expression almost identically over 50 times in the book of Ezekiel, "You

shall KNOW that I am the Eternal," or the Lord.

Verse 10: "And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that

I would do this evil unto them."

God says, "I will correct you if you don't listen to My Word."

And it's through this severe correction that the world gets to know God.

Can you believe that?

I don't need to read all of these, but it's just almost the identical expression and over

50 of them!

Now, you can read that in Strong's Concordance and see it YOURSELF.

But God is showing that man doesn't get to KNOW Him until after they suffer, unless they

get His message, unless they see what He wants and repent of that.

You can read that, more of those expressions in like Ezekiel 30 and so on, and see that

the same thing is happening.

This world does not know God.

But they're GOING to get to know Him.

God has brought us here to get to know Him, and know what He's doing, and know and remove

the MYSTERY about God.

We need and must KNOW God if we're ever going to become Sons of God and enter into the very

Family of God for all eternity, and live in that glory, as God says.

Verse 11 of Ezekiel 33 says: "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure

in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn

ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"

See, God doesn't want us to die.

He doesn't want us to be severely punished, to go through all these terrible trials just

because we haven't received Him.

He doesn't want that at all!

He wants to keep people from dying, He wants them to turn and turn and turn away from the

way that's causing all the problems!

That's God's love!

And of course, we should have been doing that all these many years, but that just didn't

happen that way.

God will turn things around for individuals or nations or whomever.

It says in Revelation 12 and verse 9 (I'll just paraphrase this), it talks about the

great dragon, the old serpent which is the devil and Satan, deceives the whole world.

Now, the whole WORLD is deceived by this DANGEROUS deceiver!

After all, if you're deceived like that, there has to be someone behind it, and it is that

old serpent, the devil, that has deceived the whole world!

And yet how many people believe that?

You see, this is why God is a MYSTERY.

We are DECEIVED!

We have been deceived by the devil because we've not stayed close to God or not allowed

God to get to show us how we can know Him.

Let's go back to John 1 and verse 18.

I'll mention something here.

It says: "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom

of the Father, he hath declared him."

He has declared Him, verse 18.

God sent Jesus Christ to this Earth, the Father sent Him to this Earth to DECLARE the Father,

not Himself.

It doesn't revolve around Jesus Christ; it revolves around the Father!

That's what John 1 is telling us, and MANY, MANY other scriptures!

So the Son is in the bosom of the Father; they're just as close as two beings could

be.

And this is God, it's a closeness that we can't really even fathom, oftentimes.

But we ought to understand it better and better all the time.

It is a Father/Son relationship with all the love of God and all the unity and harmony

and peace that you could imagine!

And THIS is what God wants to give YOU!

Now!

He wants to give ALL of us this NOW, not next week or next year or ten years from now, but

NOW!

We need peace and joy and harmony NOW in this world.

Look at what's about to happen!

You have nuclear bombs just inundating this world, it seems, so many of them, so prevalent!

How are we going to deal with that?

How is anybody going to be able to deal with that?

They just keep proliferating these DANGEROUS weapons and nobody can stop it.

Maybe they think they can, but they don't stop it, anyhow.

God says to His own people, I'll just paraphrase this, too, Malachi 1 and verse 6: "A son honoureth

his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?"

God is saying that to 95 percent of His own people; they've stopped honoring the Father.

If you don't honor the Father, you don' understand the very Family of God, God is a MYSTERY to

you, and that's what's happened to His own people.

And that's the greatest crisis of this end time; it really is.

See, family is a God-plane relationship.

Families were meant and are meant to hold the standard of the God Family.

"Be you perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."

See, raise it up to that standard!

It's a God-plane relationship.

You can't SAY that about any other family, only the human family because they have that

spirit of man in them and can connect with the Holy Spirit of God, and God can live in

them and give them the POWER to become sons of God and be born into the Family of God.

Christ didn't try to exalt Himself over the Father.

He said, "My Father is greater than I."

So God and the Word became Father and Son, and the Father is the Head of the Family.

That's the way it is!

But when you talk about father and son and sons and children and husband and wife--which

is a type of Jesus Christ and the Church, these are all terms of FAMILY!

God is a Family and He wants to bring mankind, billions and billions of people, into His

Family as SONS, and what are they going to look like?

Well, you can see, if you want to check Romans 1, verses 18 through 22, you can see that

men, God says, "They KNEW Me, but they suppressed the truth."

They KNEW and proved things about God!

But then didn't want to receive it.

That's the ATTITUDE of too many on this Earth.

The 28th verse says of that very chapter, says : "...they did not like to retain God

in their knowledge..." they just didn't WANT the knowledge of God, they didn't like to

retain it, the knowledge of God.

Something is wrong with man.

That's why God is a mystery!

Something is wrong with the way men treat God's knowledge, and failed and refused to

receive God.

That's where all of our problems come from.

Colossians 1 and verse 23: "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be

not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached

to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;" Now, the Colossians

was a strong Church, but then there were the Laodiceans there with them, and they turned

away from God in the time of Paul, and they're doing the same time in this end time!

When you talk about the Gospel, it's talking about the good news of the coming Family of

God!

The good news of the coming Family of God that's going to administer the government

to rule over this world for a thousand years, and then for ALL eternity!

That will bring all the good things that God and the Word had for all eternity before man

was created.

What a beautiful picture that is!

Verse 27: "To whom God would make KNOWN," make KNOWN, "what is the riches of the glory

of this mystery," God wants to make it KNOWN so He can remove this mystery of God, about

God, "the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope

of glory:" God makes the mystery manifest to His saints, you see.

And I'll tell you, when you think about these verses, it tells us we must really get rooted

and grounded in them and built up in these verses.

It is the most magnificent and wonderful truth you could ever possibly know!

We have a God Family vision that we absolutely must maintain!

Let me just read to you, I don't have time for a couple of verses here, but let me read

these to you.

This is the outcome.

This is what God wants for you.

Can you believe this scripture?

Can you really believe it?

Philippians 3 and verse 21: "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like

unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things

unto himself."

You look at Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 1, and He says that your body is going to be fashioned

like unto HIS glorious body.

Can you believe that?

Can you really BELIEVE that your body is going to look like that?

You're going to be BORN into the Family of God if you remove this mystery and get to

KNOW God, now!

He's available and He wants us to get to know Him now!

I John 3 and verse 2 states: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet

appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him;

for we shall see him as he is."

Do you mean God is going to appear in all that glory and we shall be like Him?

Well, that's exactly what the Bible says.

You see, it's ALL about the Family of God!

It's the good news of the coming Family or Kingdom of God that is going to administer

the government of God to this world and to the entire universe for ALL ETERNITY!

Now, THAT is what is coming very shortly to this Earth, and THANK GOD for that!

And thank God that we have a FUTURE like that in the midst of all this turbulence and terrible,

terrible world we live in!

2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe Review | First Drive - Duration: 3:38.

They say the Mercedes Benz E-Class is the world's most intelligent vehicle.

It's the Einstein of the car world.

Well, if that's the case, then the E-Class Coupé surely is a super model with a PhD

in quantum physics.

It has brains and beauty.

Mercedes Benz Chief of Design, Gorden Wagener, says this car is one of the most beautiful

vehicles he's ever designed and the secret to the car's striking appearance is that there's

no angles, at least that's what Wagener says.

It's all smooth curves and subtle drops and, really, just look at it, the car has a very

appealing profile and the side windows with the pillarless design is eye-catching, to

say the least.

The model you see here rides on 20-inch alloy wheels and looks a treat and even the rear

end design, with its slimline brake lights, makes a really strong visual impression.

It's not just the exterior where Mercedes Benz designers have worked their magic.

The cabin is just delightful and it starts with this aluminium strip on the dash.

This is all new and it's these turbine-like air vents that really make it.

You can switch them on and off with a twist and the way they move and how they feel just

adds a level of sumptuousness to this car that's not there in the standard E-Class sedan.

One thing I'm not so keen on is the fact that there's still no touch screen.

It's the most intuitive way to input data and you still have to use the scribble pad

or the rotary dial.

The drive pilot system that's standard on all Aussie-delivered cars requires a double

tap of the cruise control stalk and then it's time to relax on the highway.

The car can accelerate, brake and steer itself for up to almost two minutes by our reckoning.

Tap the indicator stalk and it'll even change lanes by itself, scanning the road for other

vehicles first.

The E-Class Coupé can warn you of dangers and even take evasive action if it detects

an imminent collision.

There are more sensors, cameras and electronic doodads on this car than a KGB spy satellite

but when you want to be in complete control, the E-Class Coupé does not disappoint.

Mercedes Benz has created a really refined enjoyable grand tourer with the E-Class Coupé.

It's quite astounding, the level of ride comfort, given this car rides on huge 20-inch alloy

wheels with 30 profile rubber.

They are really thin gumball rubber, it's quite phenomenal.

There is a sense of lardiness and weight about this car.

It's not a light vehicle but despite that it changes direction really rapidly and fluidly.

I don't know what they've done with the suspension here but it's very impressive.

One of the areas where the car's heavy weight doesn't work in its favour so much is the

brakes.

They're a bit soft and spongy and when you're diving into a corner, they do take a really

strong thump before they start kicking in.

The E-Class Coupé commands a significant price premium over the sedan and it's not

as practical either.

But what price do you put on style and sophistication.

With a true GT feel, impressive comfort levels and technology that astounds, the E-Class

Coupé is a compelling new offering in the premium large Coupé segment.

FINAL FANTASY XV - Noctis Lost in translation - Duration: 10:08.

As I was going through my journey in Final Fantasy XV, I quickly fell in love with the game's main cast.

I personally opted for playing the game with Japanese voices.

Not because I have anything against the English version; it's just a matter of preference.

Neither one of the languages are my mother tongue so I don't feel particularly biased towards one or the other,

I just happen to prefer the Japanese voices a bit more, that's really all there is to it.

Anyway, after having gotten to know the main characters relatively well, I spoke my friend

and he said some some things about Noctis that I didn't feel like I agreed with.

After that I ended up talking to more friends online that had played the game in English

and they said the same things about his character.

Which - you guessed it - is why I'm currently making this video right now.

It made me think of the up's and down's of localizations

and how often they're misrepresented as being direct translations.

The difference between them being that a translation is simply taking a work

and directly translating it into another language

language whilst staying as true to the original work as grammar and language differences will allow you to.

A localization means taking a work, translating it and modifying it

to be more appealing and understandable to another culture.

A very well-known example of localization gone a bit wonky is in the Pokémon series.

Ash, Misty and Brock are seen eating rice balls or onigiri.

Considering that onigiri's aren't exactly a common snack in the West,

they changed the script and called them donuts instead in English.

This is of course very silly to the older kids who can clearly see that what they are eating aren't donuts,

but considering it's a show targeted at young children, the idea of them eating donuts works just fine.

The reason I'm bringing up the differences between localization and translation

is because it's important to remember that any foreign media that has been localized

is going to be modified to appeal more to us; as in the Western audience.

This hit me harder than I expected when it came to FFXV.

It goes without saying that the characters aren't going to be exactly the same

across the different versions of the game

considering that they're trying to appeal to very different cultures.

But unfortunately; I feel like the localized version of Noctis

ended up in a place where the original Japanese version was trying very hard to not go.

Noctis was created by Tetsuya Nomura,

who actively strived to make Noctis different from previous Final Fantasy protagonists.

In an interview with Famitsu, Nomura stated that he wished for Noctis' character to feel like a fresh breeze.

Noctis was written to be more of the shy and socially awkward type.

He just wants the best for everyone and doesn't want to let anyone down.

Nomura didn't want Noctis to be compared to Cloud or Squall,

both whom he refers to as being silent and dreary.

Unfortunately though, with the release of the English localization,

that was exactly what happened.

Many American game reviewers outed Noctis as being a ''Cloud clone''

or nothing but a standard gloomy anime kid.

Which is sort of understandable.

English Noctis is rather sassy and snappy.

Although he's certainly pretty socially awkward, he's more brash and less reserved.

One rather small yet significant difference that I noticed during the game

are the lines that are delivered during the little ''friend tours''

that will be triggered at specific camping sites throughout the game.

If you successfully manage to complete these little tours,

a very short scene will play afterwards where Noctis and which ever one of the three others

that invited you out on the tour are walking back to camp.

So let's take a quick look at them.

Here I feel like it's very important to mention

that I am in no way trying to criticize Ray Chase's performance as Noctis

Noctis as I think he did a wonderful job with the script that he was given.

It's not that Noctis was written as an uninteresting character in Japanese

and that he had to be changed for the English localization because he was too boring,

but his Japanese character wouldn't have resonated as much with the Western audience.

When the Japanese voices were announced,

I saw a lot of critique towards the Japanese performance of Noctis.

The main problems seemed to be that he sounded ''too young'' and ''too cheerful.''

This is an obvious case of people comparing two languages when they only speak one of them

as well as overlooking cultural differences.

Our localized Noctis sounds a bit more raspy and a bit older than the Japanese Noctis,

which is most likely, completely intentional.

But in Japan, Noctis isn't quite the same character.

He wasn't written in the same way that our Noctis was.

He's a bit more awkward and soft-spoken in Japan.

He also sounds like a 20 year old because that was how he was written.

He wasn't created with the intention of being a smart-ass

but an insecure young guy who's trying his best to cope as his world is falling apart around him.

Even though he tries to put up the cool impassive demeanor,

in the end, he's just too emotional for it.

I understand that it obviously sounds like I'm very biased towards the Japanese release,

which is somewhat true.

I don't dislike the localized version of Noctis but I feel as if it's very important to address

that he's not the same character throughout the different versions.

And in my own personal opinion, like the additional quips and sass

sass that were added to him with the English release, his character fell into the trap of becoming a more generic protagonist.

Which is very much what Nomura stated that he didn't want Noctis to be.

Like I mentioned earlier, it's not that he's a bad character in any way shape or form

but the fact that he was deprived of the things that were supposed to make him unique when the localization came around

for the sake of making him more appealing to the West makes me sad.

Again, this isn't to criticize either Ray Chase or Tatsuhisa Suzuki

as I really think they both did an amazing job in their respective languages.

Of course you can find a voice to be more or less pleasing to the ear.

The fact that you like or dislike a voice more is completely subjective

and only you can say what voice you find to be more pleasing to listen to.

But there's a difference in disliking a person's voice and criticizing their acting work.

Just because someone has a voice that you don't find pleasing, doesn't make them a bad actor.

Just as having a ''nice voice'' doesn't automatically make someone a good actor.

There are always going to be people that are never going to give up their exclusive original Japanese voices

voices and there are people that just don't want to play games in any other language than English

and that's fine.

With a game like FFXV where we players get to choose between four different languages,

it's really up to you what language you feel like playing the game in.

You're allowed to prefer one version over the other and to be biased towards an actor's voice

but it's super not cool to belittle another iteration because of the language that it's been done in

when you don't have the tools necessary to fully understand it.

It may come as a shock, but not every language works like English does.

Speech patterns are different and different words hold different levels of connotations.

But in order to accurately understand any work

it's important to have a broad understanding of the language that you're working with.

The reason why I'm only discussing the Japanese and the English version in this video

video is because I don't consider myself fluent enough in either French or German

in order to be able to catch onto the things that are unique to both languages.

At the end of the day, localizations are necessary

as they allow for all kinds of media to be appreciated all over the world.

A localizer's job is essentially to take a work

and make it enjoyable to a person who is part of a completely different culture.

However, this means that the original work is always at risk of losing its original meaning.

Japanese and English are two very different languages

which means that subtle verbal hints, speech patterns and puns are going to be lost in translation.

The work's different notions and theories are still intact

but they've been modified so that different people will be able to relate to them and understand them better.

If the game had been translated literally word-for-word

it would have been really bad

like, borderline unplayable.

It's important to remember that as long at the original creator's message isn't completely lost;

there's no harm with localizations.

Noctis is a character that I personally took a strong liking too

which is why I'm very passionate about this subject.

A part of me just can't help but to feel that he was done dirty with the English localization of the game.

Which truly does make me sad.

But it's really hard to hit a homerun with one single character throughout a vastly different set of cultures

and that's just something that I'll have to learn to accept.

I'm working on it, I swear.

I would really appreciate it if you would comment down below what language you played the game in

and how you feel about Noctis' character.

Or really just the whole main cast in general.

I would also like to give a quick shoutout to Aether for letting me use his music in this video.

He is a very talented dude so make sure you check him out at soundcloud.com/aetheraudio

I will put a link down below in the description.

I hope you found this video interesting, please give it a thumbs up if you did.

Thank you for watching!

How to Recover Your 1099 Form - TurboTax Tax Tip Video - Duration: 1:48.

[Uplifting Piano

Hi I'm Amir from TurboTax with some helpful tips on how to recover your 1099 tax form.

As tax time approaches, are you still in need of your 1099?

Or maybe you're trying to track down one from a previous year?

Don't worry - there are easy ways you can retrieve the forms you need to file.

If you worked as an independent contractor or received any other payment that needs to

be reported on a 1099, then you should reach out to the person or business that paid you.

The payer should send you a copy of your 1099 by January 31st.

Keep in mind that if your total payments for the prior year are under $600, the IRS threshold,

they may not need to send you a 1099.

Regardless of whether or not you receive a 1099 from someone, you are required to report

all of your taxable income on your tax return.

Some payers may not send a 1099 even if they are over $600 in payments, so don't rely

on 1099s to keep track of all the income you have made during the year.

If you are looking for 1099s from earlier years, you can contact the IRS and order a

"wage and income transcript".

The transcript should include all of the income that you had as long as it was reported to

the IRS.

All you need to do is fill out a Form 4506-T and mail or fax it off to the IRS.

However, if the income was not reported to the IRS, then it won't appear on this transcript.

For example, if a payer didn't send a 1099 to the IRS, the income you received from them

won't be included.

Are you thirsty?

Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to startle you.

Orange juice? Apple juice? Mineral water?

Elisa...

That's such a nice name to have.

Are you tired? Do you want to rest a little?

No, Madam.

Not "Madam". Call me Jeanne.

And don't be calling me "Vous" either.

Here, if you want to drink...

Everyone is called by their first name here.

Even our children when they talk to us.

It's more intimate and...

It seems to me it makes communication much easier.

Anyway, you'll see for yourself...

My oldest is almost 20 years old.

I hope you'll get along well.

Yes Madam.

No, no...Jeanne!

Jeanne!

All right...

Listen...

I was just readying up a room upstairs...

But I'm not finished yet.

Maybe in the meantime you can go get a haircut, what do you think?

If you want to, of course.

It'll do you good. I'll write down the address on a piece of paper, it's very close...

And I'll lend you some money until you get your first check from Florence...

And if you need something for school, just get it.

On the corner there's all kinds of shops. "The Fun", as Louise always says.

I'll see you later.

You'll recognize her from her yellow jacket.

Thank you.

Hello?

Elisa?

Is that you, Elisa? Is it really you?

No, Louise, please!

Come on, you like that!

Stop it!

It's not funny at all!

Louise, that's enough!

Wow, wow....calm down, don't be so pissy...

Louise, I hate it when you talk to me like that.It's vulgar.

Pardon me, Baroness.

Stop it with your bullshit!

Oh so that's how it is. You can be vulgar and I can't.

Hush it!

Oh I'm sorry Elisa. I don't want to make fun of you, but...

What have they done to you?

Louise please, you're not being very nice...

Oh, poor thing. You probably got Charlotte...

It's an old lady who did your hair, right?

Indeed. I thought this passed for fashion around here...

Come with me. I will teach you all about fashion.

We're going to start by taking off this terrible mustard jacket.

And the next time, you will have your hair done by Louise.

NOT by the wife of Methusalem...

Come on, look here...

I have so much I don't know where to put it.

I love buying and I never throw anything out.

And don't worry...

I also have things for you.

That will be nice on you, look.

It's a skirt. It's too tight for me.

It's because of her...

"Oh, finish your plate. You should eat enough!"

Look!

Isn't it fly?

So many things...I have of slippers that go great with that, look.

What wrong, Elisa?

What's happening?

But what have I done?

That's what I would like to know, Louse. What have you done to her?

We were just going through clothes and then she just stormed out all of a sudden!

Ugh...You!

But Mom...

Is Elisa here with you?

Now look here...

Don't tell me you've already lost her?

Excuse me, Mrs.Trudel, but I have to check.

Hi there!

I said "hi", Elisa.

What do you want from me?

Can I sit down?

Are you all right?

What is it to you?

I was worried about you, Elisa.

Well, I did try to call you!

Why did you send me to those people?

What happend with the Lasalles?

They're hypocrites!

They pretend about everything!

Louise is trying to pass me her old clothes!

The mother thinks I should change my hair.

What's wrong with my hair?

What if I like my hair?

Why do they want me to be like others?

There's nothing there for me.

What's their deal?

Why are they even interested in a monkey like me, why?

Why do you think I'm interested in you?

For you it's different.

You're paid for that.

I know you're scared, my big girl.

I can't take away your fears.

But you will have to give your foster family a bit more of a chance before telling me it isn't working out.

No one can do this in your place.

Are they angry with me?

No, just worried.

They just want you to come back to them.

Do I have a choice?

Saint-Léandre, August 25st 1975

Dearest half-cousin Elisa, my love...

Here are the flowers, the fruits, the flowers and the branches...

And here's my heart that only beats for you...

Did you read it?

I confess.

He'll no longer be at the farm now, he's in Québec City...

Jeanne...

Will you take care of Diane now that I'm no longer there?

That doesn't depend on me for the moment...

I will take care of Diane, but give me some time...

Longer so that Arthur can take the next step?

So that he can rape her, maybe?

Elisa, you're being unfair.

So long as Diane doesn't denounce him for his groping, my hands are tied...

But I promise I'll try to see her anyway.

You'll see that we are not complicated people.

Here, if something's wrong, we don't let things fester...

We speak honestly.

So I hope you're going to feel comfortable here.

What am I saying, "I hope"?

I'm SURE you'll like it with us.

If there's something that's bothering you, don't worry, just tell us.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes.

That being said, Pierre, I think we'll all agree that Elisa also has a right to her secrets.

Elisa is here to get back on her feet. Not to relive the same old stories.

But...of course!

All right...

You have my phone number?

Yes.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Take care of yourself.

Goodbye.

Do you want to see your room?

Come. You can always change things if you don't like it.

I want to apologize for yesterday.

I don't know what came over me.

Please don't apologize. We were being a bit pushy, Louise and me.

Let's just have a new start, all right?

All right.

Alain?

Elisa would like to say "hi".

Well hello, Elisa.

May we hear your voice as well?

Alain,please!

No, it's all right.

Hello Alain.

I'm sorry Elisa, I didn't mean it to sound mean.

I just have a large mouth.

In any case, we're neighbours.

We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Thank you, God. Thank you.

Oh yeah, oh yeah...we're gonna have fun like crazy...

And the price is higher than it's been in 4 years.

...hasn't even started yet, and the invoice is already in and much higher than expected.

You know that's what makes the economy go round.

Oh, good morning Elisa...

Good morning, Elisa! Did you sleep well?

Yes, thank you.

Do sit down!

What do you take for breakfast? Toast?, Muffin? A croissant?

Toast.

And a coffee perhaps?

No, thank you.

How about some chocolate milk?

Please.

Louise, please make Elisa some chocolate milk.

Mom, everyone takes care of himself here, okay?

All right, all right...

You're not being very nice...

What time did you come back yesterday?

Midnight.

No you didn't!

You can help yourself to the toast. It's right there on the counter.

Who were you with?

Louise, answer me.

How's your toast?

Well done.

Louise...

We had an agreement. No later than midnight.

So I demand that you respect the deal.

Do we understand each other, Louise?

DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?

Yes, daddy.

Some peace, please!

Please, don't interrupt me when I'm talking to your sister.

All right, all right...I got it!

Enjoy your meal, everyone!

That outfit looks good on you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, it's new....

Maybe I should've picked out something Louise gave me.

Oh no, you're too skinny for that.

THANKS A LOT, MOM!

Hi!

Hey , how about those courses? Are you managing?

I've never seen any of this in my school...

Which course?

Geometry. Usually I'm not the worst, but all this sinus, cosinus...

Don't laugh!

Finals are in 15 days!

I'll never be able to do it!

Don't count on me too much, I'm not much of a studyer...

Hey, I wanted to tell you....good thing you were there this morning, because if not...

Is that her?

Elisa, this is my boyfriend André...

Me, I'm Marie-Laure...oh Elisa!

Should we meet up here after class?

What did you tell them about me?

What?

Don't play innocent.

What did you tell them about me?

Oh come on, Elisa. I just told them you're from the city.

I told them that you're with us because you're having problems in your family, that's all.

That's not true!

In any case, they don't need to know.

Listen, Elisa...

I tried not to bring attention, but everyone knows I don't have a sister.

Don't you prefer that they know a little instead of making up stories?

WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT ME?

Nothing, Elisa.

Because I know nothing about you.

Elisa! What are you doing there my love?

I don't have the key. And no one was home.

Oh no, poor you!

You must be freezing!

Did you have to wait long?

No, no.

I did ask Louise!

No, it's my fault. I probably just didn't hear her.

She should've given you her key.

I don't know what is is with her. Sometimes she forgets there's a world around her.

Go in, love.

Here you go, lovely. Hope you relax well.

Good evening, mother.

No supper for me tonight. I'm eating with a friend, we're doing homework together.

Thank you, Louise!

Thank you?

Thank you, that's all!

Mother please, what's wrong?

What did I do to make you angry?

What did I ask you?

You only remember things when it suits you?

But WHAT?

Elisa was freezing outside for 2 hours because you weren't home! I told you to wait for her!

I asked HER to...

No, girlie! I've had it up to here with your excuses!

She was freezing there...

If she turns out to be sick, it'll be on you my girl!

Mother, don't exaggerate!

Butt out!

If your sister is being irresponsable, she should suffer the consequences.

Sometimes I swear I don't know what possesses you...

Elisa?

What's happened?

No idea? I didn't know she was there.

When I opened the door, she started shouting.

Elisa?

Elisa, open the door my dear!

Elisa, are you all right?

What's happening?

Are you hurt, Elisa?

Answer Elisa, come on!

No, it's all right!

Don't worry, everything is all right!

I felt sorry for her!

Yeah, sure.

Mom's going to apologize, you know that. She does it all the time.

I'm not so sure this time, Alain.

She's in menopause, it'll pass...

It'll have to pass quickly, because I've had it!

Are you going over to Poulope's?

Yup!

Don't you think you should tell André that?

What does it have to do with you?

With me, nothing.

But please be careful with what you're taking...

I love you, my little sister...

Hey Louise, we have to talk...

I don't have the time!

Alain, there's a nice article in here that should interest you.

Elisa?

Yes?

Can I come on?

Yeah sure.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to be troublesome.

I just wanted to tell Jeanne it really wasn't Louise's fault that I was left outside.

It's me that didn't hear her.

Don't worry about that.

Those little spats between Jeanne and Louise always end in hugs.

Do you have everything you need?

Did you settle in well?

Yes.

For the better.

Elisa. What were you scared off in the bathroom?

I was simply scared the door was gonna hit me.

We'll never be able to help you if you stay locked up in your shell.

Yesterday we've talked about how we hope for honesty in this house.

We don't want things to linger.

We also said that we wouldn't meddle in each other's business.

Please?

I had one of those in my bed when I was little.

As you wish, Elisa.

When you're ready, we'll talk about this again.

Pierre...

Even if you knew what happened in my family, there's nothing you could do.

No one can do anything.

At least try to let down your guard a little around us.

Yes.

I promise.

I'll install a lock tomorrow.

I promise.

A bit of relaxation for the newbies...

Breathe through the nose, let your hormones race...

...and pick your courses while listening to this transcedental music!

Hello!

Why hello, my fanclub!

What did you think of the set-up, Elisa? "Too much", huh?

Yup, it's big...

We interrupt a minute to give you the scoop...

on the refreshing insights of a newcomer in our midst...

To you I ask, Elisa Trudel, what are your first impressions?

Uhm...

So here's the proof, if you really needed one...

that this place is dumbfoundingly amazing!

What's wrong with her?

I don't know.

This girl is scared of her own shadow...

I don't know what to do with her...

We've accepted to take in a troubled girl.

And it's over with the "universal brotherhood"...

You're being facetious.

You know very well that Ithink we should help Elisa.

All right, so you agree.

Perfect. I'm happy to hear it.

Yes, Dad, I agree that we should help her. I AGREE!

But I don't it's a solution to take her out of her environment and put her here.

Is that so?

You go about this the wrong way.

What you're doing is taking someone who's drowning in their own river...

and put them in yours.

At the very least, it's not very prudent.

How did they choose us even?

"Say, with the Lasalle's! That's where I always wanted to be! That's where I should've been born!"

Come on, you're not coming to the core of your REAL problem.

It's your own little bourgeois comfort that you're protecting.

Dad, you're not being fair.

You know me better than that...

Have it your way.

It's your decision.

DECEMBER 1976

Dear Diane...

It's already been 6 months since I went away...

And it's mostly you that I'm missing.

I'm worried about you.

because of...

you know who...

You need to act before he goes too far.

If you want we can finally talk during the Christmas break.

And find a way for you to get out of this.

Diane...

Why aren't you telling what happens around here?

Help me.

I don't feel like going to a foster family!

Arthur won't leave you alone, Diane!

It's not that bad...

It doesn't hurt that much...

I telling you, I'm not saying anything!

Go to bed.

My name is hurting...

The one you never say...

I'm dying of the tenderness...

that you refuse me...

Why are you saying "no"...

when I'm reaching out to you...

Never a smile...

Never a kiss...

That gives me joy to carry on...

Take me, take me...

Take me in your arms...

Take me, take everything...

But give me back just a little of me...

I want to be born again in you...

I've taken the first steps...

To go to you...

Friends, don't push me away

I want to be born again in you.

You know your mother doesn't like it when you touch her things...

I thought you were in class...

Maybe I can arrange that with her...

Let me go!

But what have I done?

Why do you push me away?

I just want to be loving...

If you let yourself to, maybe it'll be easier...

Is that what you want?

Leave me alone!

Stop that, Elisa!

Not in the face, Martha!

It's not me, Mom, it's him!

But what got into her?

Diane!

Hurry, Elisa!

There's a capacity of 55 people in the bar, not one more!

If we arrive late, we'll dance outside!

I really can't go, Louise.

Exams are in 10 days.

Stop it, for the love of God...

I look too good to think too much!

Just come with, I'm telling you!

The boys are all there, with their tongues to the ground....imagine the rest!

I'm sorry.

But I'll be dancing with sinus, then cosinus.

I'd rather have it differently, but I don't have a choice.

Jeez...

How boring can you be!

So now it's time for the crowns!

One for Florence...

Oh no Florence, don't put that on my head!

It's just the two of us!

Happy New Year, my big girl!

A happy and joyful New Year!

You too, Florence. Happy New Year!

So...how are things with the Lasalle's?

Don't know.

They quarrel, then make up.

Sometimes I don't really know how to act around them.

Especially with Louise.

You could say I annoy her easily.

You have to understand that maybe Louise feels a bit annoyed about you...

She may feel you take in some of her space.

She worries about me taking her place.

Especially with the way Jeanne's been treating her.

How does Jeanne treat her?

She needles her with words.

Even gave her a little slap once.

Like my mother when she thought I was getting in her business.

I'd get a real one!

But it stopped there.

You think it was better at your place?

I don't know what's better, Florence.

Do you know?

What I know Elisa...

is that if everyone was able to be in the place of the person they were about to hit...

or say something hurtful, they'd probably stop themselves...

Maybe they'd feel broken, torn apart as well.

Putting yourself in the shoes of others is something you learn when you're very little.

I believe that it's passed on.

Come on, I'll show you something!

Look at the little man there.

Look at his hands.

You'd say that he's scared of falling.

Now look at his smile.

He loves it!

Yes!

He's scared, but he's trusting.

His grandfather is holiding him up in the air.

He knows that the little fellow is scared.

But at the same time he knows that he's enjoying it.

I'm sure his own father did the same thing to him when he was little.

And that pleasure is passed on from the old man to the little boy.

And one day, the little guy will be able to do the same thing to his own child.

Do you understand?

You see, Elisa...

Violence is passed on the same way...

Florence, do you have news on Diane?

Yes, I've seen her.

BUT, Elisa...

I went to her school and talked to her, but she denies anything ever happened with Arthur...

But there are some signs that make me hopeful that she will talk in the end.

We have to convince her, Florence. We have to!

Elisa, if I force it, Diane's going to close up like an oyster.

You have to be VERY careful, my dear.

Very careful and very patient.

Diane!

Guide to IRS Form 1098-T Tuition Statement - TurboTax Tax Tip Video - Duration: 1:51.

[Uplifting piano music]

Hi I'm Amir from TurboTax with some helpful information about IRS Form 1098-T. If you

or one of your dependents enrolled in school during the tax year, then you'll probably

want to keep an eye out for a 1098-T form by January 31st.

The 1098-T reports the amount of qualified education expenses paid by the student during

the year.

The IRS does not consider every educational expense a qualified one, so it's important

to get that information from your 1098-T. It will also help you calculate some of the

tax benefits that the IRS offers, like the American Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime

Learning Credit.

Your 1098-T form will have a lot of useful information on it, but boxes 1, 2, 5 and 7

will be most important for your tax return.

Box 1 reports all payments you've made to the school for qualified educational expenses.

Box 2 reports the qualified education expenses that the school bills you for, which may not

be the same total as box 1.

Box 5 includes the scholarships and grants the school gave you.

That's important because most scholarships and grants are tax free if you use the funds

for school expenses.

But the IRS will require you to reduce the amount of qualified educational expenses you

claim for your credit.

Finally, box 7 will indicate if any of the payments you've made are for courses beginning

in the first three months of the next tax year.

You may be able claim that amount as a credit or deduction for the current year.
