ComedyShortsGamer: A Comical YouTuber

   Have you ever been searching on YouTube for something entertaining to watch? Well, I have found your entertainment. Next time you have the chance, search the channel ComedyShortsGamer (CSG). CSG or Deji Olatunji, is a YouTuber from the U.K. and the brother of famous YouTuber KSI. CSG appeared in many of KSI's videos including some of his early FIFA gaming videos and his comical skits. When his own channel began to grow, CSG started to make more and more of these videos like the ones on his brothers channel. As years passed CSG began to vlog and do challenges. I can tell you one thing, these challenges are hilarious. Olatunji now has over eight million subscribers and his own clothing brand TANK.
    If you are in the mood for a couple laughs, then definitely look up a couple of his earlier videos with his brother and parents. If you are looking for something hysterical, again search the challenge videos. A great challenge is the ghost pepper challenge that Deji does with his mom. He might be a little over exaggerative at times, but at the end of the day, he can be pretty funny.
 

First Round Analysis of the Cleveland Cavaliers

    We all know last year the Cavaliers won the NBA title. We know that they are not the first seed in the East. What we do not know, is why the Cavaliers are struggling in the fourth quarter. Although Cleveland swept the Indiana Pacers and are now in a good position to prepare for the second round, the fact still remains that they are not playing well in last quarter of the game. In games one, two, and four the Cavaliers were outscored in the fourth. This cannot happen if they want to win another championship. If this keeps occurring to the Cavs, do not expect to see them lift the trophy.
     Even though they are having these struggles, the Cavs still won four games against a scrappy Indiana team. In all honesty, it was a good test for the Cavaliers early in the playoffs. So what was good about the Cavaliers? Well, It is good to see that the new additions are starting to develop chemistry with the remainder of the team. Deron Williams is playing like he used to, and Kyle Korver is beginning to find great looks every game. With this coming off the bench, as well as Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, the Cavaliers now have an experienced second team. Hopefully this allows the Cavaliers to play a whole game. Instead of three quarters.

How to Conduct Social Media Content Analysis

In Katie Paine's book, Measure What Matters, she tells us how we can conduct a social media content analysis. A content analysis simply enough is an analysis of your content on social media. These are important because social media allows for you to understand what your followers want. This is why conducting a content analysis is important.
Step 1. Find the Content.
Step 2. Determine the type of conversation. Basically you sort the conversations into categories.
Step 3. Determine the visibility of your board. find out where you where mentioned in any form of social media.
Step 4. Determine who was quoted in the item.
Step 5. Determine Sentiment. Find out what was said about you. If it was positive, negative, etc.
Step 6. Find out if any messages where communicated. There might not be any, there might only be one.
Step 7. Determine your position on any key issue. If there are many complaints about something, take note of it.
Step 8.Quantify the authority of the writer or poster.

Next time you need to conduct a content analysis, simply just follow these steps.

The Top Three Cheap Strikers to Use in FIFA 17

   FIFA 17 has been a great change of pace to the FIFA video game series. With a new engine powered by Frostbite, FIFA has become an even better version then it already was. Ultimate Team has had many updates that have made the game mode more challenging and competitive. However, with the best players in the game being so expensive to purchase, some people find it hard to play Ultimate Team. Especially when it is challenging to score. Scoring goals has always been hard, especially if you are new to the game. So I have been thinking about three strikers that are very cheap to buy that can bolster your attack and help get you some wins.

1. Eder, Italy, Calcio A, Inter. Milan, 750 coins
Eder is a great all-around striker. With 85 pace (speed) and 80 shooting, Eder can blow past defenders and finish a shot past the keeper with ease. Eder also has 83 dribbling witch makes him easy to control in the game. A 73 rating in passing gives Eder the ability to make a high percentage of his passes, which is valuable when he is in the attack.

2. Martin Braithwaite, Denmark, Ligue 1, Toulouse F.C., 750-1,000 coins
For the past couple of years, Braithwaite has always been a bargain, over-powered, striker. Nothing changes this year. 85 pace makes him hard to stop in open space. 78 strength allows for him to shield off defenders and maintain control in the box, which can be really annoying to defend.

3. Marcus Rashford, England, EPL, Manchester United, 1,500-2,000
Now I know 2,000 coins is a bit more then the other two, but he is completely worth it. 90 pace makes him a threat on every possession. The other half to him is his work rates. High/Low work rates allows for Rashford to stay forward and always annoy the defense with attacking runs.

If you have trouble scoring, try one of these three. I bet your goals-a-game ratio goes up at least one.

Why Measure?

There are many reasons why a company should measure their social media accounts. Measurement means that you take the totals from your accounts, analyze what they mean, and implement the meaning into their accounts to improve them. This improves the quality of your account. Having a great quality account can improve your relationships with your followers. Good relationships can lead to more profits. Measuring can also allow for you to get a better knowledge of your competition. Knowing your competition gives you a look into competitive strengths and weaknesses. The last reason why measuring is important is that it gives you a reason to say "No". If you get the numbers back from a recent program that is not so successful, then you do not have to devote your time in working with that program and vice versa.

Copa90: A Great Channel to Learn About Football (Soccer in this Case)

    It is becoming a lot easier to watch soccer here in the United States. If you are trying to get into the beautiful game, but do not know where to start, then here is the best place for you to visit. Copa90 is a YouTube channel that literally covers all aspects of soccer. Literally all aspects are covered. They have weekly update videos where they go over what happened in the past week in football. These videos cover a majority of the games in the English Premier League as well as the big club clashes in the other top leagues as well as Champions League. Question and Answer segments where they answer questions that their fans submitted.  FIFA challenges where two comical hosts Poet and Vuj play someone famous in FIFA while asking them fan submitted questions. The best videos that they make in my opinion is there segment called Derby Days. Derby Days covers some of the fiercest rivalries around the world. Copa90 does a great job at getting close-up to the rivalry by interviewing the crazy, passionate, fans or Ultras of the two clubs. These interviews give us an inside point of view of why the two clubs cannot stand each other and when the game highlights come on, you really feel the intensity of the rivalry. So if you want to know more about football, take a look at Copa90.

A 25 Minute Road Trip Can Lead to a Good Night

While being at Northern I have realized that there are not many options for entertainment on the weekends. I am not a bar goer, so one of the only things to do in Ada, is already crossed off my list. Well if you fall in this category, I can tell you one place you can go that can make your night a great one. I am talking about Delphos, Ohio. Yes, Delphos, Ohio, a little town just like Ada, with much more to offer. For example…

1). Kosta's Topp Chalet 

  One of my favorite places to go throughout  my whole life. The Topp Chalet is one of my Families restaurants in Delphos and has been in my families care for over 30 years. Their food is 100% better then anything Ada has to offer. I highly recommend the pizza. The Topp has a great atmosphere to it and has a sports bar section as well as a separate family section.

2). Chik N' House

   The best chicken around, and I am not being biased. The Chik N' House is my families other restaurant and is another great spot for you to visit. I highly recommend the Chicken Chunks.

3). The Creamery

   After going to one of the two restaurants, right down the road is an Ohio treasure. The Creamery is an ice cream shop that literally gives you the best deal on ice cream around. Their serving sizes are insane and are made to your liking. Did I mention that their servings are huge? I recommend the Buckeye Avalanche.

4). Dairy Hut

   While The Creamery is one of the best spots around, a few blocks down is Dairy Hut. Dairy Hut is another great spot to get your sweet tooth taken care of. Like the Creamery, Dairy Hut's servings are bigger then usual. However, Dairy Hut has something that the Creamery doesn't, 24 flavors of soft serve ice cream. I recommend the peanut butter flavor. 

So next time you are bored on a weekend, grab a group of friends, hop in the car, and take a 25 minute road trip to a great spot.

The Madness' Coverage of the Final Game

     Today's National Championship game was another hard fought game that came down to the last couple of possessions. Just like the majority of the games in this great tournament. In the end, the North Carolina Tar Heels came out of the grueling tournament as Champions defeating Gonzaga 71-65. If you saw the game, you can agree with me that it was a very exciting game to watch. But if you didn't have any chance to get to a TV, lets see how the NCAA March Madness' Twitter was able to keep you posted on what was going on throughout the game.
  The coverage began with videos being posted of each team entering the stadium. You can say that they literally covered everything, literally, the video began as the coaches took their first steps off of the bus. After a little coverage of the pre-game festivities,  a gif showing the starting five of both teams was tweeted. After a couple more pre-game traditions, the tip-off of the game occurred. NCAA March Madness posted a video right after, with  video of the tip off. Throughout the game, live tweets of the score, key plays, and crowd reactions were posted. When the game was nearing its end, NCAA March Madness filled everyone in with up to date highlights of the final minute, including the dagger dunk that ended Gonzaga's chances. After the game, they even tweeted out videos of the trophy presentation as well as the coaches interviews after all of the post game celebrations had ended.
    The big part of their coverage was again, the interactive hashtags. These hashtags with the little emoji that would appear after posting it, was a great way to keep the fans interacted with the game. Much like the NBA All-Star hashtags, these hashtags basically allowed everyone to personalize their tweets about the final game.

The Weekend in Sports

   This weekend in sports was a historic one. The madness began on Friday, where Mississippi States Women's team took on the undefeated Connecticut Huskies. In the final play of over-time and the game Mississippi State guard Morgan William's hit a last second buzzer-beater to end a 111 game winning streak by Connecticut. After Friday's crazy finish, Saturday had big shows to fill. Saturday began with an upset in the English Premier League where league leaders Chelsea lost to a resilient Crystal Palace team 2-1 with goals from Wilfred Zaha and Christian Benteke.
     The late afternoon belonged to the Final Four. The opening game between South Carolina and Gonzaga turned out to be a great game. In the end the fundamental ability to finish a game propelled Gonzaga into its first title game. The second semi-final game between North Carolina between and Oregon also was a good game, but ended in dramatic fashion. In the final five seconds of the game, North Carolina missed four free-throws. Both times, North Carolina out-rebounded the Ducks and allowed for the clock to run out allowing them to return to the National Championship game.
    Sunday was a great day for a lot of people. Sunday was opening day for the new baseball season. On the opening day for the defending champion Chicago Cubs, things did not go as planned as they lost in walk-off fashion to their rival St. Louis Cardinals. Also Sunday played host to the National Championship game for college women's basketball. In an all SEC matchup South Carolina's women's team defeated Mississippi State to win their first championship in program history.
All in all, it was a great weekend in sports.
