Okay, okay.
I'm ready, I'm ready.
What's going on all you fine people on the Internet?
G. Koay here,
your creative advisor at Shootsta,
and we just wanted to remind you that Chinese New Year
is just around the corner.
So we thought it would be a great idea
to give everyone some quick tips and tricks
on how you can spruce up your Chinese New Year
greetings video for the festive season.
So let's go.
Chinese New Year is a festive season
that celebrates the beginning
of the new Chinese lunar year.
It is one of the biggest celebrations in Asia,
and is equivalent to, say, Christmas and New Year's
all rolled into one.
This upcoming Chinese New Year
is the Year of the Pig.
The festive season starts on February fifth this year.
That being said, let's get on to tip numero uno.
Tip one, learn about this year's zodiac.
The Year of the Pig represents
good luck, good fortune, wealth,
and a fun, easy, carefree life.
The Pig is also the last zodiac animal
in the 12-year lunar cycle.
According to one myth, the Jade Emperor
said the zodiac cycle would be decided
by the order in which the animals would arrive at his party.
With no surprise there, the Pig came last,
because he apparently "slept in".
And tip number two, red, red, and probably more red.
Chinese New Year is all about the colour red.
Red is a significant colour because it symbolises
good fortune and joy.
So be sure to have lots of red in your video.
You can utilise some common Chinese New Year props,
such as âng-paus (or lai see packets a.k.a. red envelopes),
red lanterns, or even Chinese New Year firecrackers.
Even as simple as having a little red in your wardrobe
is gonna help you a lot.
Remember, these small details can add a lot
of visual significance to your overall video.
Tip three, pronunciation.
Saying "Happy Chinese New Year" is great and all,
but we can easily take this one step further
and make it culture-relatable too.
I'm gonna teach you two commonly used greetings
during the Chinese New Year season.
The first one is, gong xi fa cai.
One more time.
Gong xi fa cai.
And this means may you attain greater wealth this year,
or may you be prosperous this year.
Ultimately it's wishing you lots, and lots,
and lots of money,
and who doesn't want a little bit of extra money
during these kind of festive seasons?
The one other one is, xin nian kuai le.
One more time, xin nian kuai le.
And this simply means, wishing you a happy new year's
in Mandarin.
Practice these pronunciations
and lock them down for that final end greeting.
That's gonna make big differences in your video.
Want a quick recap?
Learn about this year's zodiac, the colour red,
and pronouncing the proper Chinese New Year greetings.
And there you have it.
Three simple tips and tricks to think about
when creating your own Chinese New Year greetings video.
From all of us here at Shootsta,
we look forward to working with you further
in the Year of the Pig.
Other than that, Shootsta would like to say,
xin nian kuai le, and gong xi fa cai.

The Constitution Video Lecture 1 short 2 - Duration: 14:05.
talk about the Constitution but before we do that I just want to briefly recap
some of what we covered last week why do we have a government
what's its job now last week I made the argument the government resolves
collective action problems like the prisoner's dilemma the tragedy of the
Commons and the free-rider problem but how does government do this right it
creates institutions and rules to resolve conflicts that arise and in our
democracy citizens give up liberty or the right right giving the government a
right to power in exchange for security obligating the government to protect
them we call this the social contract theory but where can we find the rules
governing American democracy in the Constitution of course a constitution
creates a set of institutions and provides a set of rules right that
describes the political processes that each institution has to follow in order
to reach its collective agreements so for instance in our Constitution right
there's the the requirement that Congress for instance come to a majority
decision or majority agreement in order to pass a law but they need a two-thirds
or supermajority agreement in order to override a presidential veto the
structures of both the presidency and/or the executive branch and the judiciary
can also be found in the Constitution
we're gonna take a slight left turn here if you will and flashback to history
we're gonna review sort of the road to the revolution right how we got the
American Revolution you don't need to worry about being tested on this okay
but it is good to understand the process because it provides some context for the
stuff we'll discuss later me and the class really kind of builds upon it so
France and Britain get into this huge fight over territory and what's now the
United States and we call it the French and Indian War
referring to britain's two primary enemies number DS really broke after
this war they've spent a lot of money defending the colonies and they want to
recoup the high costs so they enact the Stamp and T acts you may have heard them
called the stamp tax on the Tea Tax also fine
but the colonists like their tea a lot and they hate taxes they get really mad
at the threat to their self-governance because up until this point they were
kind of operating as sort of quasi Nations ain't Georgia thought it was the
country of Georgia and Pennsylvania in the country of Pennsylvania but they're
mad that this is these taxes are a threat to their self-governance and they
have no representation in British Parliament so they throw this huge tea
party and by that I mean they throw an entire shipment of tea into the Boston
Harbor now those of you with children have probably had one of those scenarios
where you tell your kid to do something and then they say no and then you
threaten them with some punishment and it just creates some sort of chain
reaction right one reaction after another this is kind of what's going on
in the 1770s I mean in the colonies because the
colonists get kissed they throw tea into the Boston Harbor
then the British get even more angry they enact the coercive acts which among
other things requires that the colonists house British soldiers so just imagine
for a minute that I tell you right any one of you the tomorrow
a soldier is moving into your house right a member of let's say the reserves
or an active-duty soldier moving into your house you have to feed them you
have to clothe them you have to make sure they have a health insurance right
you need to also be kind of at their beck and call they're allowed to read
your emails and your text messages and listen in on your conversations this is
kind of what was going on then obviously without the cell phones and internet so
as you can imagine the colonists were further frustrated and this ultimately
leads to the first bloodshed of the revolution in the battles of Lexington
and Concord in seventeen five when finally in 1776 the colonies
declare independence because they realize they will never be Royals all
right so let's take a quick detour right away from the war to the Articles of
Confederation our governments declared independence or the colonies at this
point have declared independence and the founders are like we've got to have
something we have no means for making these sort of group decisions and we
need to have something written down so that we understand who should be making
what decisions and what should be making who dis whose decisions and you know
what's going on and so in 1777 they adopt the Articles of Confederation and
they ratified them in 1781 now the Articles of Confederation were America's
first constitution or it was America's first constitution and it was shaped by
the founders experiences on the one hand right the monarchy in Britain made the
colonists really distrust centralized government and they were steering clear
of that Avenue but they also placed a strong value on domestic independence
remember operating a sort of quasi Nations furthermore they had little
experience with interstate cooperation especially when it came to defense or
trade because Britain had to handle those during the colonial times so not
only are we fighting a war but we're trying to come up with some basic set of
rules so that we know who's in charge of making which decisions and we're
tackling sort of brand-new policy areas if you will right when it comes to
defense and trade and negotiation we're embarking on a whole new set of
collective action plan so the provisions of the Articles right some key tenants
they created a permanent Congress where each state received one vote 13
delegates all major laws such as taxes and changes to the Articles required
unanimous agreement every States delegate had to agree the military
states raised revenue right through taxes and the outset it troops for
battle what the national military only responded to
Congress there was no national executive or judiciary and states retained
authority to negotiate trade overseas in fact Connecticut and New Jersey were on
the verge of war with New York overuse of the hard work seats could also print
and coin their own money those of you who've travelled through Europe right
particularly if you happen to travel through your pre euro hmm know that it
was probably frustrating as you cross seemingly you know close state borders
having to trade your money for another currency and trade back right or those
of you who traveled recently and have gone to Britain and have to exchange
your euros for pounds and it can be a frustrating process similarly right
because the states were pretty close together the u.s. wasn't is expansive as
it is today and so States each having their own money pose some problems it
especially pose problems for British soldiers right excuse me for colonial
soldiers when states would only take British money and the new government
didn't have any all right so how does the war end 1781 the Battle
of Yorktown let's get back to the Articles think about the strengths and
weaknesses of the system think about whether the decision rules create high
or low transaction and conformity costs
so the strengths and weaknesses essentially right there was a lot of
state-level freedom consider strength especially at the time but there was
also other chaos you guys talked about this some of the message boards and I've
seen lots of people sort of hit the nail on the head basically the founders were
terrified of the prospects of developing a monarch right and so they really
decentralized government and they didn't want any sort of spine in the central
government and so while that allowed a lot of individual
freedom at the state level it meant that it was really challenging to do things
like coordinate military decisions or fund an army or deal with trade
negotiations so the decision rules under the Articles take a minute to recall
those unanimity right do those create higher low transaction
costs remember transaction costs are those costs that go into decision making
if you've got high transaction costs you were definitely right you need everyone
to agree this is going to take some extra time but what about conformity
costs do people have to give up something when they don't want to if you
said low conformity costs good word right if one person doesn't like a law
they could stop the collective action in its tracks so what's going on in the
Confederation the articles are falling short as we likely suspected the
military is a mess right we've got this prisoner's dilemma where states are
supposed to fund the military but the national government tells the military
what to do and each state has an incentive to underfund the military and
instead focus on their own sort of personal security and but if every state
does that we have their military we lose the war we cease to be the colonies the
economy's a mess right there's a debt and we can't raise taxes because we
can't get unanimous agreement there are no trade regulations different states
are about or colonies are about to go to war with one another but there's also no
uniform system of currency which as I mentioned really posed a problem for the
colonial army there were security problems and there were legislative
inefficiencies because getting thirteen people to reach absolute agreement on
major issues like taxes and the direction of the military is you know a
bit of a lost cause
so the founders meet again and they decide we have to fix this problem and
they hold a Constitutional Convention and we'll talk about a couple of the key
plans introduced in this convention so the first one is a Virginia plan the
Virginia plan proposes a bicameral national legislature the lower chamber
voted by popular election the Opera Chamber appointed by state legislators
right the legislative branch has a veto power over state laws so if a state say
California makes a recreational marijuana law in the 1700s doesn't
happen the legislature under the Virginia plan would be able to veto that
law oh there's a Council of revision which is sort of a watered down version
of the Supreme Court but some people opposed the Virginia Plan especially
small states who thought that they would lose in two key ways first represents
representation based on population in the lower chamber took away power at the
national level when you have five people and a neighboring state has five hundred
people you have a lot more power if representation is assigned by virtue of
your boundaries rather than your population states were also concerned
about the National veto over state laws right and how it might strip individual
state power so an alternate idea emerges the New Jersey Plan a single chamber
equal representation for all states the legislature has limited power to raise
taxes and regulate commerce there's a weak plural executive that means like
multiple presidents effectively and a limited national Supreme Court now what
does this plan sound like I like to call it the Articles of Confederation on
steroids you can remember the New Jersey plan from the Virginia Plan because when
you picture Virginia in your mind it's kind of a big state and New Jersey is a
tiny little weak shaped us right and so New Jersey the state that
stood to lose because it was small right small state created a plan that would
work for small states a plan where each state had equal representation finally a
compromise emerges the Connecticut or the great compromise will have a
Congress they say two chambers the Senate two representatives per state
six-year terms the house representatives selected by popular election based on
population size a perfect harmony of the Virginia and New Jersey plans will get
rid of that unanimous agreement part of the Articles of Confederation and
replace it with a majority with

Loando Podcast #1 Fintech, video games and series - Duration: 11:57.
Good morning, hi.
My name is Paweł Łeszczyński and this is the first episode of Loando Podcast about working in the largest fintech group in Poland.
In each episode you will meet one of the employees of LOANDO Group.
Today I am going to speak to Michał Krawiel- editor-in-chief of the Zagrano.pl [EN: PlayedIt portal]
We will try to find a spot for this gaming platform in the fintech environment.
At the beginning, maybe you could say a few words about yourself and tell us about Zagrano.pl
Hey there.
I am the editor-in-chief of Zagrano.
Previously, I worked in the journalistic industry.
Later I started working at Affiliate 44 as account manager in our fintech Group - LOANDO.
And just like that there came up this idea of Zagrano
and we wanted Zagrano to be a portal for mature players, but not only for the players, but for all recipients of popular culture.
That means that we also have a section on comics, series etc.
We want to achieve synergy between different areas of pop culture.
Zagrano is mainly associated with playing computer games, but we are going to treat this portal as something relating not only to games but to something more.
We will publish game reviews here, but you will also find reviews of series, publicist texts on comics or TV productions made by Netflix, HBO or Showmax...
You mentioned that Zagrano is normally associated with games.
But when it comes to LOANDO Group, then there quite distant associations between Loando and the gaming world.
Maybe you could tell us how it happened that the financial group made room for a portal about games, series, and comics?
I wouldn't probably say that they are very distant industries, because we work in this digital branch of the economy.
In other words, somewhere between the loan comparison site and a gaming site.
Well, there is a kind of divergence, but it's still the internet and we are developing within it.
Where did the idea come from?
From conversations, from the kind of openness of the board and also the possibility of using the skills we have beyond what we normally do as account managers.
I worked for 4 years as a journalist, for 1.5 years I was the publisher of a website, which had around 1.5 million users monthly, it was a large portal.
And as I say, I can use the things I've done before in the activities within LOANDO Group.
And I think that it is very cool that with openness come ideas.
There is a project, there is some intellectual or knowledge background and we can act in this direction.
Loando does not just close itself off in the world of finance.
So the idea for a portal comes from personal passions, from a hobby, right?
It can also be that we want to use these things that we can do and which we deal with as a hobby, but also professionally...
because if I was presenting games in a printed newspaper why wouldn't I be able to do it on a portal.
It's also about the skills we have.
It resulted out of loose conversations and it has already turned into a design of flesh and blood, which already has some form that we want to continue to shape.
So you managed to find within Loando some people you took aboard Zagrano?
Yes. When it comes to writing texts, it is Ewelina Zdancewicz-Pękala who works as a copywriter...
but with whom I also worked in Gazeta Olsztyńska before, for both the printed version and online,
so we also knew each other's work and know our skills, and also she is an avid player,
so it would be nice to use it and Piotr Binkowski, who also works at Affiliate44, this part of Loando dealing with affiliation and also writes texts when he's got some time for it.
This is very cool, because this pillar of the writer's team is from the company.
Of course, we ask freelancers to write texts as they are also like those contacts that have been established earlier in our other works.
We know journalists who are able to write cool texts and that's why we outsource.
Of course, LOANDO Group employees take care of IT or SEO services.
It is composed of our employees in 80 per cent.
And how do you manage to combine job duties in the affiliate network and work for the portal
Well, it's a bit of overtime work, but of course it's still a matter of organisation.
As the editor-in-chief, I try to write as little as possible, and really organise as much work as possible for others, i.e.
I am actually dealing with games, dealing with planning, what to publish, what texts to be commissioned.
And if I had to write regularly, that is, if I had to generate large amount s of text then it would be difficult to reconcile with other duties.
I would have to work two jobs, but at the moment I am able to work on these two projects without l osing any of them.
So maybe you could tell me how you personally got interested in g ames?
In general, it started very late, because I started to play before my 30th birthday.
I played very little before turning 30, but somehow my console landed in my rented flat when I was 28 years old that is…
It's never too late for games.
No, no ... What I really liked was this approach that I had when I started to play games at the moment when I had this kind of apparatus to analyse the culture I had learned during my studies.
I approached these games in a completely different way and the fact that I also use completely different...
What did you study?
Polish philology…
I could find some references in games to what I have read.
It does not mean that there are references to high or popular culture.
Because some games simply consist in pressing buttons, but it is created in a way that there are simple things, there are things more complicated and there are different types of recipients of each title.
Well, I got into playing that way.
It started quite normally and then I played more and more.
Later we managed to push the idea of writing through in Gazeta Codzienna and Regionalna about games and the portal, so I also started to make money of my interests.
And the second important part for me in Zagrano are comics, and I loved comics from a kid.
Later I had a break at university, I did not read.
I returned also at around 30.
It may also be a financial status, it is now easier to just allow yourself after getting 30 to buy albums than you did as a student.
I had different priorities then.
So Polish studies weren't helpful for reading comics?
Well, they were not at all helpful for reading.
After so much time passed, I can say that I read the least during my studies.
And when it comes to some game titles, do you remember any breakthroughs, after which you entered this world?
The most important games, which were just like a breakthrough for me, was The Last of US - a game about the post-apocalyptic world referring to Cormac McCarthy and...
to many other stories about the apocalypse.
The first such mature plot that I played.
Such a mature film plot, that is, where the action stops, and at the same time the creators focused on the relationships between the characters.
A very large inversion game.
I finished it in two attempts in 17 hours.
I cannot play for so long.
Of course, the Witcher 3, which is our Polish production.
The games are divided into those before The Witcher and those after The Witcher, i.e.
when you played the Witcher, other games will be different for you.
I play a lot and at the moment I realised that I am playing too much and I have to do it in smaller doses, because it's hard to talk about something really cool, because I have so many things in my head that I could talk for 2 hours straight.
Ok, so maybe then tell me about something else.
What are the Zagrano development plans for the next year?
For 2019?
For sure we would like to raise the awareness of our audience, because even this is like a project that is still in its infancy, so there are still many things to be done...
And when did the portal start?
Officially in September, and for real, two months ago, and we've been working on it since July, so it's just that these texts are made, but there is still something there.
This is quite a difficult area, because it seems that everyone can write about games...
and there is plenty on the net.
And we would just like to become a little bit more recognisable, that it would be known that if someone wants to find the review...
then they will enter Zagrano and I would like it to be this way – that there are not only reviews, but also for example a nice critical text...
because I think there should be something for an older, more mature recipient ...
Or something touching upon a specific issue, for example I don't know ... about some theme in computer games or for example something at the junction between, for example, films and computer games, we would like to start writing about these interdisciplinary topics...
So here there is also a balance between what is supposed to be light, easy and pleasant for everyone...
i.e. reviews, news plus texts, which need more time to be written...
and it is like a development plan, that is, we want to increase the number of entries, our recognisability and produce better and better content,
find cool reviewers and female reviewers - new people who have some potential there, who can write, but if it is difficult for them to find their place somewhere else.
I would love to uncover such gems of gaming journalism in our country…
Are you more likely to focus on long-term cooperation or are these guest appearances?
We have a group of people we work with. They are permanent.
Of course, when someone speaks to me, I check First and foremost how they write, secondly the topics, or rather if they can search for topics.
The topic must be interesting, because not everything that is interesting to me will be interesting to, I don't know, several thousands of people.
It is also necessary to have this sense, but we are still looking for some collaborators.
We have here a kind of permanent composition, but we commission these texts as much as possible.
Not everyone knows everything, so it's nice to have a few specialists.
We need a text, for example, about this and about that, and here we have separate orders, so we're looking inside the company.
It would be great if we found a few other people willing to write.
I mean, not only about games, because it's more than just games…
These days probably everybody watches series…
Yes, this is also the tendency - the gaming portals are opening up to other things related to popular culture.
Well, now I've also heard about Netflix's plans to make interactive series and that the next Black Mirror series has a few alternative endings.
Netflix signed it a couple of years ago, or two years ago with Mark Miller - comic book author.
He's the author of the script for, e.g., the Kick-Ass or the script for the Civil War-hero comic, which has been transformed into a Marvel movie, he's the top comic scriptwriter.
He signed an exclusive contract with Netflix and there should appear ... Netflix will be
publishing his comics, and there will also be exclusive TV series on Netflix, so it all overlaps.
Okay, in that case, we'd like to wish you good luck in the future.
Thank you for this interview.
I would also like to thank our listeners for their time.
The next episode will appear in 2 weeks.

URBAN ASTHETIC - inspired by FIN D.A.C. - mixed media girl #6 [PROCESS VIDEO] - Duration: 24:44.
Fin D.A.C. is an amazing artist,
well known all over the world
in this video I try to create a mixed media women
inspired by Fin D.A.C.'s street art women
to get the feeling that this is painted on a wall
I divide the paper with this lines
to get something like a gap in the wall
I take a water soluble black pen
and add water with a water brush
after drying it, I draw the outlines of the face
It was the first time I drew a face from this perspective
because of that, I have a little trouble with the eye here
I put the first layer of color to her face
I use Faber Castell "GOLDFABER" watercolor pen
colors: dark green and light green
I put more color where the shadow areas will be
and leave the illuminated areas white
I blend the colors with a water brush
my paper is from a normal copy-paper-sketch book
this gets the paper ripples
you can take watercolor paper, than that will not happen
for the eyes I take my water brush
and different brown and black watercolor
I add turquoise watercolor to get more depth to the eyes
I give the mouth a first layer of shadow with a pencil 5B
and blend it with my blending tool
Faber-Castell "Goldfaber" watercolor pen: red
more color to the upper lip
to get a darker red
I add water with my water brush
I iron the paper to remove the waves
I blend the white part of the eye with the blending tool
for the eye shadows I mix the watercolor pen with pencil
and blend it
I try to get some depth to the outlines
my "best friend".... this little thing under the nose...
black pen for the eyebrows
and the outlines of the eyes
I use a water soluble plack pen
that dries slowly, so that I can blend it also
I also use it for the darkest parts of the eyes
uniball signo white pen (works not so well...)
the same black pen for the outlines of the mouth
pencil & blending tool for more shadows
this gap killed my nerves with the nose shadow...
I draw very thin lines for the hair, the neck and the jacket
for the hair I wanted a grafitti look
I take a thick water soluble black pen
and do some scribbles
watercolor for the background
out of camera: I sprizz water to the hair area
Faber Castel "Goldfaber" watercolor pen
water brush
another layer of shadows
Faber Castell red "gelatos" and an old credit card
that was my first use of gelatos
not sure how much to use.... difficult challenge
black wall paint for the branches of the flowers
white wall paint for the first layer of the flowers
I try to bring some texture to the page
by applying the paint thicker
I use my credit card for the grafitti look
then I add "Maya Gold" red color
and splash it up with water
while drying it, I use a baby whipe to control the color
I try to get the face behind the flowers
by adding more shadows
this gives the flowers a more clear shape
I want them to pop out of the page
I use the white uniball signo pen for more details
the structure of the flowers makes it difficult
to get the color to the page
thin pencil for the eyelashes
I do the eyelashes with a pencil first
because I can correct them with an eraser
then I take my black pen
& a glas of vodka (for my nerves)
because eyelashes are bitches...
they can destroy everything
I add water to blend them
black watercolor for more depth to the background
thick black water soluble pen for the frame
I add water to blend it
some splashes with white wall color
and here she is!
thanks so much for watching!
