Dillon Ipsum Julie Taylor, will you marry me? **Clear Eyes. Full Hearts.** Saracen, quarterback's a captain. CHAMPIONS DON'T COMPLAIN![^1] Why don't you take your Members Only jacket off and hang it on the coat rack? Blood, sweat and tears - it all stays right here on this field, right now![^2] This is our dirt! This is our mud! This is ours, baby! Everybody leaves me! What's wrong with me? No matter what happens, no matter where you go, no matter what you do, I'm gonna be right behind you. Always and always and always. There's a lot of dude talking going on out here. It's time for you to let Tim Riggins come home. You're gonna be the star quarterback of the DIllon Panthers next year. And you are gonna shine. 

Sed ut Clear Eyes, Full Hearts...ehh we'll deal with that later. I turned the contract down. It's your turn, I wanna go to Philadelphia. Will you take me to Philadelphia please? You changed my life Coach. Maybe one day our dreams will merge together.[^3] To Mr. and Mrs. Saracen, cheers! I know that you guys think that I'm young and that I'm making the wrong decision and I'm gonna drop out of college or whatever, but that's not me and you guys should know that. It's about getting to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I want you to be on my side and trust me that I'm making the right decision.I would not talk about your job at the art gallery, that's not reassuring for a football coach.

## THE NEED FOR LEADERSHIP
\vspace{-10pt} <!---Adjust space between headers and paragraph text as needed--->

At veto and remember you gotta win Friday night to make the playoffs. I guess we're fixin' to find out. Lemme tell you something. I'll tell you what. Tonight is your night. You have an opportunity to go out there and accept the challenge. You have the opportunity to be a part of the team. If anybody's internal, I'm internal. I'm not here to make friends. This ain't my home. This ain't my school. It never will be. Moby Dick is actually the perfect metaphor for this town. You need to learn this offense, son. If you look at a girl like a geometry proof the answer is right in front of you.[^4] It's your job to find the missing variable. You gotta solve for x. Yeah, um, that's actually algebra. That's actually not the point. Do you understand? My truck ain't running. I don't hate you, Lyla. It'd be a lot easier if I did. All right, listen up. You're a lousy ping-pong player. He's all bard and no bite. Oh, hell. Take a knee. Alright, y'all. Today we're champions. Feels good, right? Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause tomorrow we're targets.

## RECOMMENDATION
\vspace{-10pt} <!---Adjust space between headers and paragraph text as needed--->

Dillon Ipsum _I'll tell you something else and don't you ever forget this._ I'm starting to feel like I have some sort of repellent that repels females away and sends them running. I don't want to step on your fingers or anything but you might want to slice those a little thinner because cucumber sandwiches are pretty delicate. Did I just lose a lot of man points for that? Crucifictorious. You can't fake boosterism, Eric, it comes from the heart.[5] That's the beauty of it. Yeah, when we drive on the football field...we usually don't drive on our football field. Lyla, your dad's a sinner, I'm a weak man, but it was one mistake. He's one of those "I'll tell you something" guys, isn't he? Hey look, y'all keep tryin', but you ain't gonna catch me. Hey, don't hate, accelerate! Now, for as long as I know Tim Riggins, there's only two phrases that can put a smile on his face. Number 1: We're going to State. And Number 2: The results are in - you are not the father. **Texas forever.**

papaja (APA Papers)

• Github Page for papaja

papaja is a R-package in the making including a R Markdown template that can be used with (or without) RStudio to produce documents, which conform to the American Psychological Association (APA) manuscript guidelines (6th Edition). The package uses the LaTeX document class apa6 and a .docx-reference file, so you can create PDF documents, or Word documents if you have to. Moreover, papaja supplies R-functions that facilitate reporting results of your analyses in accordance with APA guidelines.

Note, at this point papaja is in active development and should be considered alpha. If you experience any problems, please open an issue on Github.

sudo apt-get install texlive texlive-publishers texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra texlive-humanities lmodern

devtools::install_github("crsh/papaja")

How to use papaja

Once papaja is installed, you can select the APA template when creating a new Markdown file through the RStudio menus.

APA template selection

If you want to add citations specify your BibTeX-file in the YAML front matter of the document (bibliography: my.bib) and you can start citing. If necessary, have a look at R Markdown’s overview of the citation syntax. You may also be interested in citr, an R Studio addin to swiftly insert Markdown citations.

xaringan (Presentations)

• Github Page for xaringan

[ʃæ.’riŋ.ɡæn]

An R package for creating slideshows with remark.js through R Markdown. The package name xaringan comes from Sharingan, a dōjutsu in Naruto with two abilities: the “Eye of Insight” and the “Eye of Hypnotism”. A presentation ninja should have these basic abilities, and I think remark.js may help you acquire these abilities, even if you are not a member of the Uchiha clan.

Please see the full documentation as a presentation here (中文版在此). You can use devtools to install the package:

devtools::install_github('yihui/xaringan')
