On this panel now, from left to right, we have Salim al-Huk. Extremely familiar to anyone closely following the climate discussions, but especially those who've been at the founder of the NC Days, in fact. So we're very privileged to have you, Salim. Salim is affiliated with IED, but in particular now with the International Center for Climate Change and Development in Bangladesh, leading many initiatives, but also very closely following some of the core negotiating teams instrumental to the success of the Paris Agreement. So we're very keen to hear about him, about where we are at this point, with the negotiations and beyond. Ashala Bezing is a principal researcher at IED, but in particular here because she also advises the chair of the LEC Group in these negotiations. She's been intensely embedded in the negotiations the past week. We're very grateful to have a bit of your time, a little bit of the time that might allow you to catch up on sleep in what must have been a very intense week and with a very intense week ahead. We're very grateful you're here with us to share some of your reflections on how things are going. And finally, Michelle Winthrop is, it was interesting we met before this panel and she indicated that I should not be expecting too much of an in-depth knowledge on all little nitty-gritty detail of every aspect of the convention. Because in the end, she camps more from the development background. And I explained that that's actually exactly what we're after. So Michelle is with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in the Republic of Ireland and generally just working on development from a climate resilience perspective, but also here as a negotiator. So she has been following particular tracks in the negotiations, we shared in her perspective on what's going well, what's not going well, maybe where we still have obstacles to overcome. So I'll be asking each of these panelists to first share their general reflections on maybe two time frames of where we're at right now. So we're halfway to Scott. As you all know, the middle weekend is a sort of tiny low in this rhythm of these two weeks. Ministers will start arriving. The first high-level events are appearing tomorrow. It's already obvious weekend. But it's going to be intensifying in terms of the political deals that need to be made. But all the technical work should sort of be behind us now. So we have a sense of how much progress we're making and what the sticking points are. This cop is also still seen as a sort of technical cop in many ways. People are sort of expecting this cop to contribute to a path that should be easier after the Paris Agreement was that big political accomplishments that now just needs to be implemented. So I'm also keen to hear your reflections on where we are in terms of that cycle. Have we indeed made progress these past two years after Paris? And are we on track to meet that political ambition that was expressed there? What's needed? Where are we making progress? Maybe also where do we still have some ways to go? And I'll ask you to sort of do that keeping in mind not all the specific articles and all the negotiating texts that maybe not even everyone here, many of you not being technical negotiators, but people coming from practice will be familiar with. But actually looking at it also from these lenses. The themes in the broader climate discussions that matter to us in the real world. Resilience to empowerment and access, value and lived experience, local knowledge, often not something that you recognize in the corridors here in Bonn. Transparency, downward accountability, and finally this notion of shared resilience. And the question whether the national government usually negotiating here in Bonn will be able to do this on their own. First, Salim, if I may ask you for some initial reflections first. Sure. Thank you very much, Martin, and good morning to everybody. So first, let me make a general overarching remark about where I think we are in the global discussions, decision making on how to tackle the climate change issue at the global level by governments. And in my view, we made a major achievement with the Paris Agreement. We now have an agreement to take actions by 2030. And this one, COP23, and last year's COP22, and then subsequent COPs, are very much about putting us on the track to implement that big agreement that we achieved in Paris. And in many ways, the emphasis now has shifted away from negotiating more text to actually implementation on the ground. And I made a somewhat facetious remark last year that the COP saying that future COPs should be what I call inside out COPs, where the practitioners who are implementing should be given center stage. And the negotiators should be given small rooms on the outside to sit and negotiate, because they don't matter anymore. What matters is implementation. And I'll give you a great illustration of that in the last few days and weeks that we've seen. The biggest country, most important country in the world, most richest country in the world, headed by its president, has decided to withdraw. But the people of the United States have not decided to withdraw. They have decided to stay with us. And they're in the Paris Agreement. And we have Governor Jerry Brown. And we had Vice President Al Gore, in fact, staying in this hotel. I don't know if you saw him this morning. He's here. They matter. They are going to implement the Paris Agreement. The United States is going to meet its Paris Agreement target, despite what Mr. Trump wants. And that's what matters. And that's where we are. We are the implementers. We matter more than they matter. Well, that's an inspiring start. Hachala, how do you look at this being in a negotiation? Do you still matter, actually? Does it matter what you're doing? Yes, I think. She matters. She matters. I think they hurt Salim. That's why they put us in the Bula Zone, which is really boring. Bula Zone is very, very exciting. And you have seats and, you know, so far, so many places. We don't have any of those. It's really boring. I think they hurt Salim. Anyway, good morning to you all. I'm happy to be here. Thank you for inviting me to be here, Sal. And I'm part of IAD, as well. Just to say, it's an interesting and extremely important COP because also because of the Fijian Presidency. The first time ever in the history, a small island country hosting a COP. And it's setting up examples. LBC is already talking about hosting COP, so it is changing. And then we are bringing in that moral voice to negotiations from the least developed country side, as well as small island developing states. So it's a very important COP. And Martin, you mentioned that this is like a technical kind of COP, and that is true. But we are trying to make sure that this is actually not seen as a transitional COP. We want to make sure there are a number of good decisions made here and that we don't see this as a step towards 2018 because this one is also extremely important. And coming here from the LBC's point of view, as well as supporting the expressing our full support to the Fijian Presidency, we kept with a number of expectations. And those included obviously making progress on Paris Agreement's implementation guide now, as we call it. We used to call it the rule set or the work program of the Paris Agreement, but now we call it the implementation guide. So we wanted to make sure that there is good progress in the implementation guide, which includes transparency and to some extent the accountability side and also all the other areas of work, giving guidance to the NDCs, giving guidance to adaptation communications, making adopting modalities, procedures and guidelines for global stocktake as well as the mechanism to facilitate implementation and promote compliance with the obligations on the Paris Agreement. But there are a number of other things going on. You may have heard about the Facilitative Dialogue, I'm sure you all have, that is going to take stock of where we are in terms of our temperature goal into, this is going to happen in 2018. And we are going to look at three questions, where we are, where do we have to be and how do we get there. And that includes a lot of processes and what we wanted to do here at this COP is to design that process for 2018 and make sure that that design is agreed here so that we don't go into a lot of procedural discussions. We actually get to answer those three questions through various stakeholder engagement, IPCC report and government actions as well. And we also wanted to push for the gender action plan, the adoption of the gender action plan here and the feed-gen precedence is very keen to get this done here and we moved a lot of progress. Now we have a draft decision and a good work plan that's going to be adopted here, also indigenous peoples platform, another platform where we actually bring in the practitioner side is going to be adopted here. And also very importantly, the adaptation fund discussion is extremely interesting. How do we ensure that the adaptation fund which was established under the Kyoto protocol has the resources going forward and also how do we make sure that it also served the Paris Agreement. Those are the main focus points that we have for this COP and we have made a lot of good progress. I'll stop there, but I can come back with details if you want. Thank you. Thanks very much. I will come back on a few, but I'll first continue the first round of impressions. So from your perspective, what's the first week been like and are we on track? It is. And thank you. Thank you, everybody. Having spent the week making new friends in the Bula Zone and I've met some awfully nice people. I have to say it's nice to be back with most of my people. I feel a little bit like I'm at a family reunion and it's really nice. So yeah, first impressions, as you mentioned, I've been sitting in a lot of the negotiations. I have been mostly in the Bula Zone, although I belong in the Bond Zone. And it is marked how different the atmosphere is between the two locations. And just the mood, you know, there's a real sense of optimism and communal action in the sort of Bond Zone discussions. And yet in the Bula Zone, it does still feel a little like it was 10 years ago. I suppose the key impression from this cop, as Achala said, you know, it is an important cop. And it's important we make progress because the more we do this year, the less we have to do next year. But it's also become very clear to me that there are no quick wins. And we started the week saying, oh, well, this agenda item will be easy and that will be easy. We'll wrap this up by Thursday. And actually there are a lot of still intractable issues that negotiators are struggling with. And maybe some of those old wounds that have been there for a long time, we're calling them different names perhaps, which sort of masks the fact that they haven't been resolved. But they are still proving stumbling blocks. And meanwhile, you know, a coalition of citizens in the US is driving us forward and non-state actors are in general playing a much more important role. So it does feel a little like there aren't parallel universes. That said, I do think there are grounds for optimism. I do feel that the substance of even the negotiated text is much more practical now. It's much more about action. And if I look back to, say, five or 10 years ago, I can't have even imagined that we would have agreed text on the gender action plan. That would have seemed almost insane, you know? So there are definitely grounds for optimism, but by golly, those negotiations are still difficult. Thanks very much for that initial impression. There's one thing I wanted to come back on. You mentioned, Achala, the facilitative dialogue next year, sort of prequel to the first big stock take in 2023 on the Paris Agreement that's prescribed when we really need to see whether we're on track. And that includes the three big goals of the Paris Agreement on temperature, one might say mitigation, on adaptation and on finance. Now, I hear people talking about 2018 being a very important one because we're sort of doing that for the first time a bit. But they're very different interpretations on what the scope of that will be. And you mentioned it being a facilitative dialogue about the temperature goal. Some people take that to mean it's gonna be just about mitigation. But we also know that whatever that temperature goal, however that plays out in the real world, is determined by what we do on development and adaptation. To which extent do you feel that that will be included in the discussions in 2018 and how are you setting up now to facilitate a good facilitated dialogue in the next talk? One thing we are trying to do from our perspective, from the LVC's perspective is trying to make it manageable. And there are intentionally obstructionist attempts as well to actually make it just a talk shop. The 2018 Facilitative Dialogue. As the Fijian Considency would call it, it's the Talanoa Dialogue now. We're bringing in transparent, inclusive discussion without blaming each other. But at the same time, these three questions that we are going to address in terms of where we are now, where are we how to be, and how do we get there? For us, we think it has to be focused on temperature goal rather than mitigation, just narrow focus of mitigation. And now, interestingly, this week, another matter came to force around how do we capture the pre-2020 action? How do we measure the progress of pre-2020 action? And Facilitative Dialogue has been recognized as the place where you can actually bring in the progress we have made in terms of pre-2020 action as well, which will include action on the ground, not just on mitigation, but action in relation to adaptation as well as support needed for developing countries, support provided, et cetera. So it is becoming broader, but we have to make sure that it's manageable as well. But also not allow those obstructionist people to actually make it some kind of irrelevant one-off talk shop in 2018. It is the process where we will try to bring in, or the Fijian Presidency is actually very proactive in that trying to bring in all stakeholders, not just the governments, but various stakeholders, the businesses, cities, local governments, et cetera, to have that discussion. And around that, the 2018 Governor Brown Summit is quite important, and also the climate champions work under the UNFCCC also important, and I mentioned before the IPCC report as well, so yeah. Selim, I see you wanted to come in on this. So I wanted to make a suggestion along the lines I spoke about earlier, which is that perhaps it's time for us to step up and to take out some of the burden off the shoulders of the negotiators, particularly since the negotiation process is a consensus-driven one, and hence anybody can object and you don't have progress. To a more inclusive process, maybe DNC Days 2018 is the adaptation dialogue.  So we have coalitions of the willing to push things forward, and not the obstructionists who are in the other rooms stopping anything being agreed. When you start doing negotiations on pieces of paper and text, then you can stop agreement. That's what happens. But over here, we can say what are we going to do? You may not solve the entire problem, you won't have the whole world, but you have a significant part of the people that matter to actually do adaptation, make it more effective, get the funding to do it, and we can do that. So maybe DNC Days 2018 is the adaptation dialogue. Okay, there's an interesting thought and I'll ask the others to comment on that in a minute, but first I want to welcome Ruth Spencer, who also, first of all, thank you for being with us. I know your time as negotiator is also very scarce this week. You're the negotiator for Antigua and Barbuda, a country hit particularly hard in very recent times. So first of all, thanks for being with us, I guess even taking the time to be in bond and contributing to these global dialogues is your government may have more important things to do at home in some ways at this difficult time. But also especially thank you for being here with us on this panel. Just to reverse a little bit, we have been starting to discuss what has happened in week one and how we're looking at what we can expect from week two, also a bit in the broader perspective of where we've come from Paris to bond and how we're moving forward with particularly these four lenses back on the screen that the DNC days have been applying to the climate discussions more broadly. But be keen to hear your quick impression on the negotiation so far and maybe also your personal perspective of whether that climate regime is addressing the very pressing issues that your country has been facing recently. Well first of all, I'm here as a local community NGO representative and the government has put us, has registered us on their team, so that gives us the flexibility and accommodating our inputs into the discussions. Last week we worked a lot on the gender action plan. Finally got texts and Antigua is the only Caribbean country that has submitted texts. So we are very happy that our texts were submitted also on the indigenous peoples and local community platforms. We are very active on this. We tried to see coherence with the convention, provide diversity, which has really opened up many opportunities for us. Last week I gave a presentation at the adaptation fund. We are small country limited resources, limited capabilities, but building ourselves, we got accredited adaptation fund. And what I was able to share that presentation is that the project is impacting the vulnerable marginalized groups. I actually connected the dots because a lot of people came afterwards and said you have people at the heart of your project. And I tried to bring out the coping skills even of disabled people, how they tried to cope in the midst of devastation. You know, not waiting on a government to come, but you see this half-foot man with his cold skin trying to remove the water from his skin. He has some big locks. He said, I need a chance. I need a chance, sir. And I was able to send that picture to several donor agencies that were in Antigua at the time and they funded this also. That was really a point for me. Going ahead for next week, I have to show now, I'm gonna hold a dialogue with the GCF because NGOs and local communities bring so much value to the government of Antigua and Barbuda, but we are not, we applied for readiness, but we didn't get it last year. So I'm going forward again today, showing them that as non-stake actors in a small country, capabilities exist in our communities, in our churches, in our people. And we are the one that are proactive. Once there's some notification out that this is needed, we don't even wait for the government to tell us because we are in the mailing list. We start the process, we bring the groups together and we start to draft our texts. And the government departments are so overwhelmed, you know, they are then touching every focal area. We also engage in the private sector, in the area of waste management, a key area in our NDCs. It's the NGOs that have little actions going on recycling, e-waste, petroleum oils, vegetable oils, but we're not really getting no support. So I have to be their voice here. I have to let the various, you know, parties and convention, you know, areas know that the NGOs need support. We are bringing much value added in Antigua and we are seeking to build our own capabilities with network work. I think what drives Antigua process is that we are committed and dedicated. We don't work eight to four. It's hard task is there to be done. We get it done, you know, but you have to do it over the weekend into the early morning hours. And this is the message I want, that there's the openness and full inclusion of all groups. And I'm trying to demonstrate a small island with limited resources has been doing that. Look at it as a best case and open the doors for NGOs and local communities. Thank you. Very good. Thank you very much. It's great to see the leadership of your government also putting you on that delegation and allowing you that voice also in the Bula zone. Which by the way, I've always found puzzling when I first heard these terms, the bone in the Bula zone, I thought the bone zone was going to be the bureaucratic negotiations and the Bula zone was going to be the welcoming one, the Fijian one, where we cover dialogue. So I keep getting confused. I will go, so start thinking about this. I will invite you at your tables to come back to this question of the inside out cop and maybe even us having a facilitated dialogue on adaptation here next year. And just think around your tables of whether that's a good idea and how we move that forward and maybe formulate that as questions to the panel in a minute. But there's one specific element from this topic that I think I'd like to highlight also having your perspective from Antigua and Barbuda here at the panel, but also Salim, who I know has been working hard on this, the question of loss and damage. Another five-year work plan of the Warsaw International Mechanism is being discussed here. How is the Bula zone reflecting on the realities of the climate impacts we already see today and how do you reflect on the progress of this loss and damage negotiating item? Thank you very much. Achala I'm sure will have a more inside track knowledge about what happened late last night in the negotiations. I've given up following it into the late night negotiations. But I'll say the broader picture is firstly, as Achala said, under the free Fijian presidency, this was highlighted as one of the issues that prime minister of Fiji had highlighted coming here to bomb. And then we had this devastated series of events around the world, including in the United States and in Antigua, Barbuda, that has really dipped us over into the reality of loss and damage. It's not something in the future anymore. It's happening right now. It's attributable to human-India-Islamic change, and hence we need to think about it. We have a structure. We agreed that in COP 19 in Warsaw. We have the Warsaw International Mechanism. They have an executive committee. They have a work program. So that's all fine and dandy. They're going around talking, talking, talking, getting more evidence, gathering more knowledge, all very good things. Where they haven't crossed into is yet talking about financing loss and damage, except for insurance. Insurance is very favorite of the developer. They like doing insurance, but insurance is not going to cut it alone. So we have to go beyond insurance into innovative finance for supporting loss and damage, and the negotiators as of today are not there yet. We have to push them next week so that we do get a decision on this. And to me, this is the arbiter of success in COP 23. Do we get the developed countries to move beyond insurance as the only innovative mechanism to support loss and damage? We have to go beyond that. Thank you, Steve. Are there prospective others? Yes. Like with our recent devastation, non-economic classes are so very important for us. We try to push it in the gender, couple countries didn't support it, but we have to find a way to get it in because the suffering is so much women, their lives, families, community completely displaced. Antigua, we have economic refugees. We have 3,000 people coming from Dominica. We had to move the whole country population. I'm making appeal to any donor that can assist us with transport. Antigua, we're viewed at two separate islands. And there's a limited transport capacity to take the people back to rebuild their lives. But every time the boat that carries 45 is available, it has our utility workers. It has our nods. It has our other agencies with disaster and the people that are most affected that need to go repair their houses. It's not happening. So the people are telling Antigua, the children are going to school in Antigua and their country is left there. So I'm making this appeal because we have to find a mechanism because the rebuilding process is going to take time. We need transport facilities to get the people across the island. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It also reminds us of how practical this perspective is and this is not an abstract discussion, sort of a tit for tat in negotiations about who gets how much to agree with how much of a weaker target. This is very practical. Thank you for reminding us. Can you give us an update on where we stand and then we're making progress toward what Salim sees as the litmus test for the success of COP23? Yeah, just very briefly, this is high on the agenda of the Fiji Prime Minister and also all our ministers from the Audicis sub-riff. This is also one of the high points in their briefings to be pushed forward. But I agree. I mean, the negotiations, the way we approach this issue is strong because we look at around the ground level realities, what's going on in Antigua and Barbuda, not only that, but also all the mudslides in Sierra Leone, in Asia, people suffering, et cetera. We are so disconnected from those ground level realities. We immediate thinking that comes to our negotiator's mind is the compensation and liability aspect of it. I think it is the time to forget that and that understand that the climate change is happening and that there are things happening in the ground and this is not some abstract word-related discussion. This is happening and this is something that we need to address. The way we are trying to bring in now is in addition to pushing for a more kind of a permanent, regular place for discussion, so at the moment it's a COP agenda item, which means we meet every year, only once a year we discuss about loss and damage. Also, international mechanism meets a few times a year, they come back to COP and report and we have this one place every year for negotiators to come and talk about it. So what we are trying to bring in now is a more kind of regular place under subsidiary bodies. So subsidiary body for implementation as well as scientific and technical advice to have a place to discuss this. But in addition to that, we from LDCs and also OCCs supporting this idea, trying to bring in discussion around loss and damage and modalities, procedures and guidelines on transparency and global stock take. Global stock take is to take stock of implementation, full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement, which covers all the articles of the Paris Agreement, so we should not be excluding Article 8 of the Paris Agreement which talks about loss and damage. So we are saying we need to have this space everywhere. So gender action plan, we are trying to bring in loss and damage across the discussion. So finance is one as well under GCF and other bodies that negotiate finance. Thank you. Thanks, Michelle. Can I perhaps come in? I haven't been following the loss and damage discussions but I'm aware it's been difficult. The thorny issue of money. Money has always been a thorny issue. But I think what's really interesting this year is that the reasons why money is difficult this year are different maybe to previous years. And there's an acknowledgement in the system that there is money there, but we just can't reach it. And that is, I think, if I'm really honest from a personal perspective, mounting tension around the table. However, what has been really positive is that I think in the negotiations, and I will give a lot of credit here to IED, that the tone and the clarity and the approach of the LDC group in negotiations has been a breath of fresh air. Because they have not been negotiating in many cases on points of principle or old wounds. They are really bringing a practical perspective. And while everybody else is saying, well, should we replace this word with this word or whatever, typically in my experience, the LDC lead negotiator has been saying, we cannot access the money. This is a problem. We cannot access the money. I don't really care what you put in the text, but listen to us. We cannot access the money. And that is, I think, has been a really positive thing. It's almost like a halfway step to really bringing in grassroots voice. And there have been other fantastic initiatives. In fact, I should say, as the Irish government, we have a farmer from Uganda. Oh, she's here. Constance O'Collett, who's actually a member of our delegation. And she has really added value to our perspective because she has reminded us that last year's drought in Uganda destroyed livelihoods. People died. People died. Remember that. This is very real. So the money discussion, it's a bit of a pain, but it is really important. And it will always come back to it, unfortunately. Thank you. Thanks and good to hear, also, of these initiatives. And I'm also very happy to, first of all, several examples of actually people from, I would say, this world, our world, being in the Bulazzo. But also the constructive attitude of the countries that are actually at the receiving end. And I think that's the precedent that was already set, also, strongly in Paris itself, where, I think, Selim, you played an instrumental role also in getting to 1.5. We were all hopeful for the two degrees going into Paris. And then we got the 1.5 aspiration in there, as well. I think that was also this sort of very practical leadership. And I think we owe another round of applause, also, to these two leaders in particular, for having made that possible.


Thanks Lisa. Yeah, I can be tough this time of year to try to find value without being stupid in DFS given that there are Just two games in the sleep, but I do still think there's some good values available for Sunday The big one to me is Tyler Higby checking in at $5,500. That's because Higby's been getting a lot of targets here for the Rams recently a 19% target share in games. He has played it since their bi-week without a Beckham. That's a good number for a guy $5,500. You do want to get Travis Kelsey too, but Higby a standout at tight end I also like Brandon you can that same game at $5,600. I used to drop a donut this past week versus the Packers This game being played indoors Though the 49ers may not be able to run the ball as efficiently as they typically do and I use a 60 68 yards per game In games. He has played since George Kittle returned with Debo Samuel and Eli Mitchell both being healthy So I think that's a good number for him down to $5,600. I also go back to T. Higgins once again $6,400 he came through last week in a pretty big way and Higgins 23% target share for him in games. He has played with Jamar Chase since he returned from his injury 31% of the d-pork he can score some touchdowns to the eyes will be on Chase But Higgins still a good play as well So three players we can focus on here Hopefully allowing us to get back up the Tyree kill Travis Kelsey Patrick Mahomes and all the really good options on this two game slate

Hello to my viewers out there. My name is Melinda Moulton, and I welcome you to Moments with Melinda. Hey, I wanna tell you who we have with us today. We have Will Casocondry, Jennifer Herrera-Condry, and Alexa Herrera-Condry, the principals of Juniper Creative Arts. Hey, guys. Hi. Thanks for being here. We're happy to be here. Yeah, this is terrific. I'm so excited for people to learn more about you and about the work that you've been doing in Vermont. So we only have a half an hour, so I'm gonna kick it right off. What I'd love to do is share with our viewers a little bit about your lives and who you are.  So why don't you share a little bit about who you are, where you came from, what's your inspiration, and a little bit about your relationship in your company. No, let's start with Alexa. You can. You can. Yeah. Yeah. My background, I studied photography and computer science in college, and so when I graduated, I joined Juniper Creative because we had launched that semester that I had graduated, and it was just a nice, seamless transition into working with my family and being able to bring my skills that I had been studying for so many years and applying them into the real world. Where'd you go to school? I went to the University of Vermont. I went to graduate. And I graduated class of 2020. Yeah. Okay, Jen, what about you? Yeah, well, I'm originally from New York City. I'm the daughter of Dominican immigrants. I've been in Vermont since 2002. I came here to work for Middlebury College. My background is in multicultural student affairs and diversity, equity, and inclusion work. And a lot of the work that I was doing was using creative expression to help students from marginalized backgrounds find a sense of place. I was literally doing creative placemaking at Middlebury College for so many years, especially mostly with students of color and first generation college students. And that's how I met Will. And our story evolved from that point. In terms of our creative collaboration. Will, what about you? I was born and raised there in Trenton, New Jersey. I moved to Vermont five years ago this year. I met Jennifer in 2012 on an invite here from my niece who at the time was a sophomore at Middlebury College. And she reached out to me and asked me when I come to the school to do a talk about using art as a form of activism. During that time, I founded and was creative director in a nonprofit in Trenton, New Jersey called Sage Coalition. And through that work, we use an art to beautify impoverished communities, not just impoverished economically, but spiritually. And we also looked at that work as a way to build communities from within. Set up pushing people out, work with the people that's there. And so I go up to Middlebury College in May of 2012 and hung out with Jennifer that evening. And we just hung out talking, getting to know each other. It was pretty beautiful. And I moved here four years later when Jennifer and I decided to take the next step in our relationship. And now we, and since officially since 2020, we've been doing this work together, but we've been collaborating since we've known each other. And yeah, so it's been a many, many years of collaboration, not just in community work, but just in life. We've built this life together. We bring all our mutual experience and creativeness into what we do. So you're looking at 40 combined years. You're not saying 40 plus now, because Alexa's in it. You know? But we figure out and continue to grow and evolve in ways where we challenge each other, still sharp and still. So we work seamless because we don't just stop after a project or a mural. We keep finding creative ways just to be in existence with one another. So yeah, everything turns to art eventually. Yeah, in 2020, we founded our business to be creative also based on the work that Will and I had been collaborating on prior to that from 2017. So the first three years of our relationship, we were leading community mural projects. Yeah, primarily in college campuses. Yeah. So you've been able to bring your activism into your work as a family. I wanna tell them, I wanna share with my viewers to learn more about Juniper Creative Arts. You can visit their Instagram, which is Juniper Creative LLC. Juniper Creative LLC and Instagram, you can see so much of their beautiful work. And you can also reach them at info at junipercreativarts.com. So I wanna ask you, how is it working together as a family? I love it. My mom has always been my best friend. So being able to graduate college and getting to work with not only her but also my dad, Will, it's just been amazing. Sometimes Will jokes and says, she's in an MFA program in Castle College. And I'm learning quite a bit. Well, the thing about Castle College is that it's very hands-on and it's on you. We're all adults here and we're all creative, but we also have individual disciplines which have to be nurtured and attended to as well. But that's up for us to make that schedule around it. I can't tell Alexa when to draw or when to paint something outside of a project. I just ask, is she painting or is she drawing? And if so, I would like to see it because art is meant to be shared. So everything we do in the world starts at home. Our nation starts in your home. So we don't promote anything that we don't do. Well, I know, Jen, you shared with me a painting that Will did of you a while back. I mean, your home is extraordinary. The painting and all of your murals, your home exudes your gift of creativity. But tell the story, Jen, of the painting that Will painted of you. And we're gonna have you show some of your work but talk a little bit about the personal aspect of the work. Well, so the piece that I shared with you is called The Water Bearer. It's a painting that Will worked on for three years. Was it three years? Well, two years, two years. It was about two years. I started it. It was a canvas I had originally started while I was still based in Trent. Then I brought it up and once I came up to Vermont, Jennifer and I got together, the energy was just different in it. So I like literally repainted over it and started getting inspired by one of Jennifer's playlists. I was like, Eric, if I do playlists. So I would play that in the studio while I was in there just trying to like, conjure up something to paint.  First she started off pregnant. Then she started off with carrying the child in her back which morphed into a butterfly because it was like the child was in a cocoon. So it literally was evolving over these two years and during quarantine is when I finished it. So yeah, and I presented to Jennifer. Now it hangs in front of our stairway. Yeah. Would you say that Jennifer is your muse? Yeah. Yeah, hands down, you know? I tell everybody, you know, people who know me for a long time and they see what I'm doing out here. They see what we're doing. They're like, yo man, the color is like, what's going on? I was like, Jennifer. I was like, you know, I got Jennifer and Alexa as well. Alexa is like the younger version of Jennifer in a sense where Jennifer is very honest about expectations and presentation and just diligence. Alexa is the backup. So when I start to, you know, get into my feelings or become emotional, brood and artist, they pull me out of that. They're like, nah, come on, man.  Or a megaphone. Or a megaphone, you know? That's the beautiful thing about Alexa's generation. Like they are not afraid to tell you how they feel. And for our generation, we were trained to hold that in. So for me, for all of us, creative, our creative expression helps us deal with those emotions, you know? So when things, you know, we're only humans. So when we're not seeing out of eye, we typically, you know, first talk about it, give each of our space, talk about it, then find a way to create from it. Yeah. I had the most extraordinary opportunity to work with you for 11 months when you agreed to the three of you to paint the mural at Main Street Landing in the Lakin College and share, you know, the story of how you came to me, because it was so serendipitous of how that happened. And it was shortly after the George Floyd murder. So could you share that story with our viewers? Yeah. You want to go? Well, a good friend of ours who's another mural artist, Mary Lacey, what we understood had approached you about having Will paint a mural in at the Performing Arts Center. And at the time, no one really knew as much, you know, Will is the artist, right? He is the painter. So most of what people don't realize is how much of the partnership we do have, the creative relationship we do have and how we collaborate on mural projects together. So that didn't come forward until we had our first meeting with you, right? And I remember you talking about having this vaulted ceiling and wanting Will to be able to do whatever he thought would make sense that really helped document some of the activism that we were seeing after George Floyd was murdered. And I remember meeting with you and thinking through some ideas and also thinking about the rich history of Black Vermonters in Vermont as well. And afterwards, Will and I sat down and talked and I said, you know, Will, it might make sense to really celebrate and document the history of Black and Brown Revolution and the legacy of which all of the social justice movements that exist today sit on the legacy of all these other movements that and activists and scholars and artists and educators, you know, that are historical figures, but also modern day folks that are still doing the work, whose work informs activism today, right? And many of the social justice movements that exist today that are being carried through by this younger generation now. And that's when we came back to you and said, what do you think about this? And you were like, yeah. And I said, I loved it. And the one thing that I remember that Will, that you all were so concerned about because in the past your work had been covered over or removed. And I remember one of the things that I assured you was that this would be here forever. And then you spent 11 months basically living in the green room downstairs up in that lift and put your heart and soul in this extraordinary mural. And it really is a work of art and more than a work of art, it's a work of humanity. And I cannot wait for everything to open up in a way that people can really see it in a way it needs to be seen. Alexa, do you want to share a little bit about your experience with that? Because that was sort of the early on time that you joined your parents in this work. Yeah, that was what our first really big project that I was a part of and it took so long. But it was so intentional. The time it took, it meant that we were putting blood, sweat, and tears into it. We lost sleep over it. We weren't home. There was a certain point, and sorry to cut you off, but there was a certain point where it was Alexa who was at home maintaining our home. And while Will and I were away, and she would get our laundry, wash up, bring it back. We'd go grocery shopping. There was she'd come up and do some work with us. And everything that we had to do to tag team in order to continue to thrive and survive, I guess, during that time. Stay on track. And stay on track. Well, I remember saying to Will, when he said, because you were changing things, and I said, Will, it's never going to be finished. I said, towards the end there, I mean, you really were dragging.  And if ever you want to come back and, you know, touch it up or whatever, or change. Yeah, I mean, there was, we keep looking at it, but it's never like, oh, we could touch something up over in that quarter. No, but you know, the thing about it is that, you know, there is over 100 portraits on that ceiling, right? So in the process of figuring out how to represent these portraits, these people, you realize everybody deserves the same amount of attention, right? Just because a portrait is smaller doesn't necessarily mean it's going to take the same amount of time as something that's twice the size. What's twice the size may take actually less time. So for me, I had to figure out a way to render these portraits so that no matter what, you know, whether some are more refined than others that they're complete, because the portraits are meant to be representative of coming out of stone. Like these are not just portraits, they're mountains, they're waterways, they're waterfalls, you know? So if you're looking at this portrait from a standpoint of like, I'm not just looking at a painting, but I'm looking at a sculpture within a painting, you know? That was my mindset, 21 feet up, you know? Back hurt in, you know, tired, hungry, hot, because during the summer it was sweltering up there, you know? So, and at the same time, you know, trust in my team, you know, when I wasn't physically able to do certain things, Alexa and Jennifer stepped up, base-filled things, you know? Everyone learned how to drive the lift to move in certain positions, because if that wasn't taught, then they would consistently depend on me for everything. And in doing something like that as a team sport, I shouldn't have to be the one to carry everything. You know, Jennifer handled the concept, which was the script. So I always tell people like, Jennifer's the writer, I'm the illustrator.  Jennifer wrote the story. So it was my job, no different. Michelangelo had the book of Genesis as a script, you know? So I never looked at it as so much as unfinished as more so it could be added onto, you know? I can go out there and add 20 more portraits because I can fit them into the stone. So it's not like, oh, the space is a foot wide.  So that was my mindset. So not so much that, oh, it's not finished, is that it can just consistently be added onto. It was literally a living, breathing document of history. It is, and so I want to move into sharing a little bit of your work with our viewers. And again, I want to remind all of you that if you want to learn more about Will and Jen and Alexa to go to their Instagram at junipercreativellc and you can always reach them at info at junipercreativearts.com. Let's show some beautiful images here for our viewers. Okay, so what we're going to be showing is some of our select public art projects and commissions for the past, since 2019. So this is one that we did in Burlington where Pine Street Studios is on, where I think the current farmer's market is, it wraps the entire building. So what you see here is just two parts of the entire building, the one facing, this one here faces the south side of the building and this one faces the Pine Street side of the building. These are all Burlington youth that we, Alexa did a photo shoot with them and we brought them into the mural. What you don't see in this is that it also shows poetry excerpts from some of the local youth as well. And it's in our Afro-Pollinator series. So the three Afro-Pollinator warrior youth in the front. And then Will wanted to show this idea of youth and family joy. So these kids are literally hanging out on one of those old carousels that don't exist anymore because our generation ruined it from the younger generation because they used to play and spin each other and everything was so dangerous. Like the first explained sport, those things were dangerous.  So these three Afro-Pollinator warriors are literally like protecting, they're in the front protecting this joy that tends to get squashed or killed in so many ways where we're losing, well, we're trying, not losing but we're trying to definitely reclaim a certain joy that has been diminishing through and not allowed to shine because of many oppression and racism and other issues. This was another project at the Alchemist Brewery in Stowe. It's almost 1,400 square foot silo. Will tackled this one all on his own. Well, Alexa came through in the clutch at the end because she assisted in helping me seal it.  But in order to, this was based off the illustration that I created like a year prior while we were camping at Lake Willoughby. And Jennifer was the one that was like, cause we were already in talks about doing this. And Jennifer was like, yo, that's the one you need to put on the silo at Alchemist. And at that time it was still a simple sketch. So I wasn't that convinced. I'm like, oh, you know, I get to it. It was just getting an idea out of my head. So later that year, Jennifer was like, no, finish it and we could present this. And I did and Alchemist went for it. So we had to use a projector to project the illustration onto the silo and we could only do that at a certain hour. We were out there like three in the morning projecting this silo. And then I had to go up and outline it.  And it had to be projected in two sections because there was a tree like this. If you see all this greenery here was blocking the ability for the image to wrap the silo. So I had to do one section and then move to the backside and project the other part. So projecting. It's an art in itself. It really is. Because it's, I'm sorry, but it's like, it's math. It's physics, it's all that, you know? You got to work with so many different elements, you know? It's literally like taking the gritting technique in large scale mural painting to a whole other level. You know, which brings us back to Main Street Landing again. You know, none of those two of the portraits were freehanded. The other portraits, I projected everything to like create the composition for Will to then go up and outline the portraits. So that we were able to, you know, make, you know position things in different ways because what I was seeing in my head was difficult to share with Will so that he could see it. So I would literally just take the projector and like aim it in a particular part of the ceiling with the image and say there, I want it there and be like, great. And then he'd go up on the lift and outline the image. And then that's how we got all those portraits up. And you painted it with acrylics, not with spray paint because of our environment. Now look, we're running out of time here. So I was wondering, do you have any pictures of that, of the mural that's in the lobby? Yeah. Okay, so here. So here is, this is like one shot. If you can see it. This is the best image we were able to capture. That's not even the ceiling. Yeah. But you get a sense of the vastness of it. Yeah. You know, I think for us, like you have to, you know, look at it as a puzzle. You know, there were so many pieces, we were adding pieces as we're going. We started off with 36 figures and it quickly swelled. And each one of those figures take time, you know. So once we figured out everyone that was going to be on the wall, we had to, we was like, well, what is going to, how are we going to connect them all? You know, because somewhere, take it from old photographs. So we have models for like Alexa model for Lucie Terry Prince, you know, then we had to figure out like, well, what's the connecting background? And that's when we decided on a nature thing. And having art, because in African spirituality, we believe our ancestors live in stone, live in water, live in the air we breathe. So visually represent that from African spirituality standpoint, you know, also focus in on the Haitian revolution, which was the only successful slave role in history, you know, using that from a place of pride, because especially when our story is being told by people up outside of our culture, it's typically starting with enslavement or trauma and torture. You know, Namanju, yes, these people endured some very serious traumas in their life, but that's more of a story of European colonization and enslavement, more so than the beautiful richness of African culture and people of, you know, from the aspirin diaspora, BIPOC, you know, whatever term you want to use that the richness of who we are from a spiritual level. Yeah. I mean, we really create at the intersection of healing and identity and community and justice and spirituality.  Yeah. I mean, that is the core of who we are individually and as a collective. Yeah. And this mural has an educational component to it. So I'm going to go back. I'm going to go back to us because we only have a few more minutes. That would be okay. Cause I want to talk a little bit about the educational piece too. And thank you. And I'm just going to go to, to our, to our gallery view so we can talk. So we can see each other. Thank you for that. I could spend hours and hours speaking with you about this. So the educational component. So I'm going to go back to that. I mean, I've spent hours and hours, hours speaking with you about this.  Then it was like, how do people know. So talk a little bit about that process that happened. Where when people go in and see the mural, how they, how this, this is an educational piece. Yeah. We worked with you hired a fabricator and we worked with their graphic designer Alexa photographed each portrait and we provided the graphic designer with the files your staff helped write many of the bios and. In the little squares that you take and yeah you're yeah you're you're created the QR codes created the the the files that would link to the QR code with the bios I helped edit some of the bio so that we made sure that. That the pieces of these individual people's bios that were important to us were reflected in that so people really understood why we chose them. Specifically because there's so many I mean we're talking 230 years, you know there's so many people who don't get spoken about that have made significant contributions to. Justice in the world and you know we had limited time there's only so much time there's only so much like square footage. And you know like we started with the original scope was 600 square feet but when we got in there we're like you know.  We have to look at it to where you know it was right at the peak of Kobe and everything was shutting down. Yeah, so you know Jennifer and I eventually started looking for the silver lining at all and it was like well we've been gifted this time to do this. You know so let's not abuse this time like let's really use this time because so much has already been lost. So let's make sure that you know 100 years from now this could be a testament of what good came out of all that you know yeah.  Because that is that generation that's the next generation they're going to keep this legacy going until we achieve the justice that we need in the world and we're hoping that it's they see it in their lifetime but they represent that future as well. Yeah. Right now everyone can go when they are able to go to the space, they can bring their smartphones they can scan the QR code, they can read about it. You all are producing the same fabricator is creating a brochure that will be a takeaway where so if someone doesn't have the time to sit there 100 portraits QR code scan and read. They can take something all the way down school groups are coming out to see it so it's an educate where it's becoming we're out of time and I'm so sad about that because I could you know I could spend so much time with you all. Well, Jen, Alexa Herrera, Kazokandri, your family, Juniper Creek, LLC. I just admire you all so much and we were really blessed to have you walk in to our lives and to produce all the incredible work that you're doing around the state and and it will be there forever and ever and ever for for all time so I want to thank you for your time. And to my viewers, please go visit Instagram, go to your Instagram and go to Juniper creative LLC, and you can see all of will Jen and Alexis work with Juniper creative.


them. Oh my goodness, the sheepdog. The sheepdog. Look how much she sold this sheepdog for. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. All right, in this video I am gonna talk to you about Bolo items, items to be on the lookout for, items you can hopefully buy low and sell high. I'm gonna tell you where my members got it, what they paid for it, and what it sold for. These are featured members which means they have joined memberships to be featured in this video. If you would like to join memberships, there is a button that says join right here and if you don't see it there's a link down in the description. Level 2 gets you in this video. All right, we are gonna start with some big money Bolo's. Now if it's not big money, that means it's unexpected but something you should still be looking for. All right, let's start with the first item here and this comes from Cat Feeling Thrifty and I love that name. That is such a fun channel name or not channel name, eBay store name and if you want to save her as a seller she will be linked down below and you just go up and you click that little heart and that will save them and that will make you one of their followers and when you follow them you will get like updates when they post new items. If they create a coupon you might get a notification and her store is awesome. Look at all this amazing Christmas stuff. Ooh, painted ponies. That's a Bolo right there. I've never seen a Santa Pony. That is so cool. So anyway, she's got lots of great Christmas items. If you guys are looking for these cool things, her link will be down below. Definitely check her out. All right, let's see what she sold. She sold this rare Octagon Buffalo official Art Ross Tyler Converse National Hockey League puck. It's a hockey puck. At first I'm like, is that a record? And then I'm like, that's not a record. That's a hockey puck. But doesn't it kind of look like it from the top? Okay, maybe not. But anyway, she got this ad in a state sale. It was in a box lot. She paid $5 for the entire box and she sold this one item for $55 plus shipping. The next item is this vintage sign language Christmas Reef Brooch. So anytime it's in a circle shape, a good key word for a brooch is reef. So definitely keep that in mind. This is gold plated. She got this at a YouTube auction for $4 and she sold it for $50 free shipping. The next item she said, let's see, is this the one? No. Okay, she got these at an online estate. They were in a closet. Okay, so it was one of those online estates where you can't really see what you're buying. And I guess this was like on the top shelf in the closet. So she didn't know what was in the box. And she paid $15 for the whole closet. And this sold for $120. I think she might have had this up for auction and somebody sent her an off. Oh no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She got the whole closet were 15. Yeah. And sold this for 120. That's what I'm reading here. I might have it mixed up with the other one. Did I mix them up? Because I'm showing the next one sold for 95. Let's keep looking here. But either way, it's a bellow. It either sold for 95 or 120. It's Karen, Diddy on elves and Santas helpers. Look how cute they are. Look at their little faces. Oh my goodness. They're cute. All right. The next one is this Royal Dalton Santas World Travelers. Okay, I mixed them up. I wrote it on the wrong line. So this one was from the online estate up in the closet and it sold for 120. All right. And this is Santa World Travels Limited Edition and it's numbered on the bottom. You can see right here. So 120 and this was in the closet for $15. This one right here, I apologize, you guys, she got it in a state sale and paid $50 for it and sold it for 95. So she said she kind of paid up for this one maybe overpaid a little bit, but still 50 into 95 is a great profit. Not losing money. That's for sure. All right, a rural squirrel. Oh my goodness. She has the biggest personality. She is incredible. She goes to the Goodwill Bend. She takes you with her and she does all kinds of challenges. So go and sub her up like right here. This picture of her. This is her. This is her all the time in all her videos like happy, happy, happy, always happy.   All right.  So she found this in the Goodwill Bins. It is a Helly Hansen hooded insulated jacket. It's a puffer coat and she got this one at the bins and took a best offer of $60 on this plus shipping. The next item is this vintage UNC cheerleader outfit. She said whenever she sees cheerleader outfits, she picks them up because they always sell for her. And she got this at the Goodwill Bins also for $39.99 plus shipping. I would say that's her main place that she sources. I don't hear her talk about a lot of other sourcing places. I know she went to a garage sale in one of her videos and she just seemed a little bit out of her element. If I'm being honest, like the Goodwill Bins is totally her thing. So the Rebel reseller sent her a plush because I believe she won one of the challenges and we all had to send her a gift. And the Rebel reseller sent her a puff a lump. So that is how Kristen knew that puff a lumps were a Bolo. And she found this one in the Goodwill Bins for Ben's price. So she's probably got like 50 cents in this. If not less, these way like nothing, but puff a lumps are definitely a Bolo. This one is not in great condition and it's still sold for $29.99 plus shipping. But I just love that she learned about it from another reseller. And you guys, by watching YouTube videos, put them on while you work and just listen. If you can't watch, just listen because you're going to hear things and then you can take a peek and look over and be like, oh, and then you'll know to look for it. Or you'll remember brands and you'll remember more than you think. Farm Girl Scavenger Noelle. Okay. One of the items I'm going to talk about is a Mr. Christmas item that she parted out. And she has a whole video on it. You guys can go check it out. She has a fantastic YouTube channel is just jam packed with Bolo information. So definitely check her out. But this is the item I'm talking about. So you guys know that I like to part things out and I part out a lot of toys. But this is a Mr. Christmas item. And if you don't know Mr. Christmas in general is a Bolo item. But this is a replacement part. It's a repair. It's just one of the soldiers. And she sold him for $12 and 79 cents plus shipping. So that's one thing you can part out is Christmas items. This is shark sonic duo hard floor carpet cleaner solution bottle reusable set of two pads. And she said this is discontinued harder to find item. And she got it for a dollar and sold it for $84.99 plus shipping. That's another thing I like about the things that Noelle sells is she thinks outside of the box and you're definitely going to learn things. I feel like I'm always learning something new when I watch her channel and see her what solds. Go over to her Instagram because she does a lot of just like screenshots with little information of what sold over there on Instagram and it's super educational. And I really really enjoy her Instagram posts. They've got to take forever to make but she does a great job on them. Oh my goodness. The sheepdog. The sheepdog. Look how much she sold this sheepdog for. It's incredible. It is a fine toy company extra large sitting old English sheepdog. If you guys don't know when you find realistic plush they sell and a lot of them sell for big money especially like when they really look like the dog and they're big like this. This is an incredible find. She got this at an estate sale for $5 and sold it for $239.99 but not only did she find this one she also found this little guy and the same person bought both of them and I if I remember correctly it was an international sale. Yes it went to Canada. This one came from a totally different sale. She paid a dollar for it. It was an estate sale and this one sold for $67.99. So again with the ruler you've got your measurements and you've got a picture of the tag. All of these things are really really important. This is a vintage item also. So $67.99 plus shipping. So these both went mama and baby probably right. To someone in Canada. Love it. I love plush Bolo's Toledo and Teek. Okay they are big money Bolo finders but they are more into vintage antique glass. You guys want to see some shipping of like huge lots of glass. They are not afraid to take a hundred piece lot and ship it and they have videos on their channel that show you how they do that. Just incredible. I like I have no patience for shipping big large lots of glassware and they do it all the time and they make big money doing it. This is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air die cast car and they got this at a local auction for $5 and took a best offer of $70 on this. Right here is an example of one of the things that they sell but I'm telling you 50 to 100 pieces in one set they will sell and go check out their their videos on how to ship. They've got quite a few of them. The Expresso cups $12 they paid for these at an estate sale and sold these for $99.99 plus shipping and these are great like Christmas colors right.

took two and a half years to sell but here's the funny part you guys all three of these items recently sold in the same time frame so it's like you are not youtube ebay the algorithm somehow must have picked up these items and started to put them back in the search and once ebay did that the items sold so it makes you wonder like are our items hidden after a certain time frame is it important to after your item has been listed so long to go in and hit sell similar or relist let me know in the comments if you guys have played around with that if you've had good luck with that I know that I really need to do that um because I'm really bad at just listing and forgetting and I think I need to go in and just even if I did 20 a day where I ended them and relisted them it's not that hard like I'm probably not going to like change things I'm just going to end and then hit sell similar but I should do that I should do that and let you guys know but if you guys know if you been doing that I think the rebel reseller has been doing that and having some success so let me know in the comments if you guys are doing that and if it's helping your store any trip tricks or tips you guys may have to help others put those down in the comments so everybody go read the comments see what everybody has to say and while you're down there leave me a comment thanks for watching
