Hello students, myself Mr. Siddeshwar B. Tulsapure, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Walchand Institute of Technology, Sulapur. So, in this session, we are going to deal with the topic from the section, it is fluid dynamics. The name of the topic is application of the Bernoulli's theorem and that application which we are taken for this session, it is pitot tube. The learning outcome of this session, at the end of this session, students will be able to explain the construction and working of pitot tube. Now, the contents of the session are, the first one it is assumptions of Bernoulli's theorem, then statement of Bernoulli's theorem. As it is application of Bernoulli's theorem, we are going for assumptions and then the statement of Bernoulli's theorem, then we will go for the construction of the pitot tube, then working of pitot tube and the effect of the connective coefficient we are going to observe and lastly the references. Let us see the assumptions of the Bernoulli's theorem. Now, the assumptions these are divided into two that is one with reference to the fluid and the second with reference to the flow and in case of the fluid, the fluid should be ideal, so which is not possible in the real-world situation as ideal conditions are not existing and all fluids are having the viscosity, so real-world fluids are there. Secondly, the flow should be steady that is the parameters should not change at a point with reference to time that is the parameters are remaining constant at a particular point in the fluid flow and then with reference to time. We are going for the incompressible flow, incompressible flow generally in case of the liquids will come across and the flow should be irrotational that is the fluid particles should not rotate about their own mass centers or axis when they are flowing from one section to another section. Now, if these previous assumptions these are satisfied, so we are having the total energy at any point as remaining constant, so total energy at any point in a fluid flow remains constant and as we are having the different types of our forms of energies we are going to come across it is the pressure energy is there, then it is kinetic energy and the third one it is the datum energy and the Bernoulli's equation it can be written as it is p by rho g plus v square by 2g plus z is equal to constant and this energies now are represented in the form of the head cities all are having the unit size meter cities and we are going to have the summation of the three heads that is pressure head, kinetic head and datum head as constant one. Now, let us see the pitot tube which is working on the principle of the Bernoulli's theorem. What pitot tube is? Pitot tube is a device which is used to measure the velocity of the fluid in a fluid flow. Now, the conception of that one if we observe we are going to have one glass tube is there which is bent through the 90 degree and one end it is shorter and one end it is larger both the ends of the pipes these are open, so this end is also open and this end it is also open. So, basically a glass tube with 90 degree bent and then we are going to have the two sides which are open of that particular pipe and then next to that one we are going to have this one as a larger one as compared to the horizontal one. Now, let us see the use of this pitot tube for the measurement of the velocity of the fluid flow. Now in case suppose this is a pipe through which the fluid flow it is taking place in case of this one we are going to have the use of the piezometer along with the pitot tube. So piezometer so somewhere here at the center line we can have one hole and one right angle tube similar to the pitot tube can be attached but this tube it is at right angles to the direction of the flow and this one it is piezometer piezometers we have already seen piezometers are used for the measurement of the pressure it is. Next to that one the pitot tube we can observe the pitot tube as seen earlier now it is now placed in the fluid flow so here the pipe it is having some hole through which the pitot tube it is inserted and you can observe that the horizontal side we are having the fluid it is entering directly into the horizontal pipe and then it is going to rise in the vertical pipe and then again the fluid flow it is around this tube pitot tube also and it is moving towards the right hand side. Now let us think what will be the velocity of the fluid when it enters the pitot tube see this one it is pitot tube and we are having the fluid flow from left hand side to the right hand side this one it is piezometer the question presently is associated with the pitot tube we are concerned with the velocity of the fluid when it enters the pitot tube see the answer of this one. Now when the fluid particles they are going to enter the pitot tube that is the horizontal side of the pitot tube when they are entering we are they are having to some extent the velocity velocity of that particular fluid flow and when they enter here there is no further horizontal path for these fluid particles now they are once they are rising in the vertical side of the pitot tube now the further the fluid particles they are not having any velocity so the obstruction is provided to the fluid flow with the help of the vertical side of the pitot tube and the velocity of the fluid particles it is getting reduced to zero. Now in case when we are concerned with the Bernoulli's theorem and we are saying that we are going to have the pitot tube as one of the applications of the Bernoulli's theorem now in case of the Bernoulli's theorem the total energy it is going to remain constant so in case of the present situation when we are going to have the velocity of the fluid particles it is becoming equal to zero when the obstruction is provided with the help of the pitot tube and then the velocity zero leads to the kinetic energy zero so as the kinetic energy becomes zero the pressure energy it is going to be there so conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy it takes place according to the Bernoulli's theorem and then the total energy it is going to remain constant so now we can observe the difference in the levels of the fluids in the two tubes it is when it is the pitot tube is there so this one and the second one it is the piezometer so piezometer here it is showing the pressure to some extent here the height it is shown as H1 and next to that one when the fluid particles they are entering the pitot tube and the velocity of that one it is becoming equal to zero the conversion of the pressure energy into kinetic energy it is taking place and as the pressure it is more so we are going to have a more rise of the fluid in the pitot tube and the height here it is equal to it is H2 now we are going for the calculation of the velocity with the help of the use of the pitot tube we are now making use of the pitot tube but the later on the formula it should be developed for the measurement of the velocity and that will be done through the small derivation which is of only three four lines now here the Bernoulli's theorem is applied at the different sections and one section it is say the section which is passing through the piezometer that is section number one here and one more section is there that is it is the section is passing through the pitot tube so we are going to have so it is the Bernoulli's theorem we are going to now apply the section one it is p1 by rho g plus v1 square by 2g plus it is z1 and at the section 2 so it is p2 by rho g plus v2 square by 2g plus z2 so let us take the difference it is p2 by rho g minus p1 by rho g this one will be equal to so here we are having the difference of the pressure heads as difference of the heads shown here is H2 and H1 so H2 minus H1 is equal to H say and that atom it is constant here and here so z1 is equal to z2 so these will get cancelled and velocity at the section 2 that is velocity of the fluid particles in the pitot tube it will be equal to 0 so v2 is equal to 0 if we are putting these values that is p2 by rho g minus p1 by rho g is equal to H and then z1 z2 these will be cancelled and v2 is equal to 0 we will get the value of the v1 as equal to it is under root 2gh v1 is nothing but the velocity of the fluid flow through the pipe now we will say the effect of the connective coefficient say v1 actual is equal to can be written as C that is a connective coefficient which takes into account the effect of the stem and the bent leg of that pitot tube and then it is under root 2gh the most commonly used form of the pitot tube is so designed that the effect of the stem and the bent leg cancel each other and the value of the C is equal to 1 that is in case of this we are going to get the v actual as equal to it is under root 2gh only when we are going to have the value as C equal to 1 so these are the references thank


Hey guys, and welcome back to another PHP tutorial. So this video is just going to be a continuation of the last tutorial that I created, which was basically validating a form. So in this tutorial, we're going to go ahead and basically create a session page for the user, and we're going to design the session page in the next tutorial. So first of all, what you want to do is, like always, start your XAMP service and click on the Apache and SQL. And then what we want to do next is open our text editor and also the browser that you're going to be accessing your website through. If you guys haven't watched the first few tutorials, I really recommend you do, otherwise, this wouldn't make sense, because in the first few tutorials, I showed how to create a login and register website and then also design it. So without further ado, let's begin. So this is the stage that we reached last time along with validation. So I'm going to log in quickly using a, I'm just going to register a quick account. Test one. And then password is just going to be one. Register. Test one. Okay. So as you guys see right here, what happens when we log in is the information is transferred towards the link up here, and it says username equals test one. But instead of saying welcome test one, it says welcome admin. So I'm going to show you guys exactly how to transfer this information from up here to the page. Usually you'd use a session variable to do this. But in this tutorial, I'm just going to make it easy and show you how to use the get to get the information from the URL bar. So first of all, what you want to do is go onto your session page and clear the welcome admin. And then we're going to start a PHP script there. And we're also going to end it down there. So first of all, we're going to gather the username. So we're going to create a new variable called username and we're going to equals that to $get. And then we're going to say, so basically what this does is it gets anything that's already being posted through the URL bar up here. And then we need to tell it what we want to get. So we want to get username because that's what the, that's what it's called. And then we want to get the value of username. So we're just going to say get username. And then we close that. And then we're going to say for now echo username just to see if it works. Save that and quickly refresh. And as we see right here, guys, instead of saying welcome admin, it says test one. So we've successfully gathered the username of the person logging in. This is obviously going to change based on the person's username every time they log in. So yeah, that's how we do that. And then we're going to design this a bit better. So we're going to say echo center h1 wages calculator dashboard. And then close that as well. And so again, we're going to echo this out and we're going to say center. Let's just use a h3, I guess, which stands for header three. It's just going to be a bit smaller in size than the header one. And then in there, we're going to say welcome username and we refresh this page quickly. We have something that would look similar to a dashboard. Obviously, we haven't done the styling yet, but we can just copy and paste it over from our login and register if we've got one. So we just copy the h1 tag from the style, copy that, create a new style tag up here after the heading. And then I'm just going to paste it right here. And then we do the same. We're going to add comma h2. And as you see right here, the first one is obviously done, but the second one hasn't for some reason, or obviously it's h3. So we do h3, but we can't do that because if you guys notice the font size is way too big. So we're going to have to do a separate one for h3. Unfortunately, create a new one. We can copy these over and we're just going to change the font size for the h3. So it's a bit smaller or we can just leave on default by clearing out save and refresh. And it looks pretty decent so far. We're just going to go ahead and add a borderline. So we're going to say, first of all, we add a bit of padding. Padding equals 15 pixels. Refresh. And then we're going to do border, bottom, red. Actually we go solid, red, two pixels. And we have a clean looking interface which separates the, obviously the upper websites from the information that's going to be displayed down here. So if we go ahead and go back and if we change the username to, let's say, something more realistic like, use the one at gmail.com and password will be 123 register. Use the one at gmail.com 123 login. And as you see right here, it's obviously changing the name based on the user that's logged in, which is perfect for now. So we have the basic information that we need from there. If you wanted to, you could also collect other information from the user like the age, blah, blah, blah, and then save that to the database and then retrieve their information through the database. So if we go onto the database, I'll show you exactly what I mean. PHP My Admin. We go to POS. Actually, it's the wrong one. Trial system. Users. And then obviously in here we haven't got much apart from the username, password, and their ID. But let's say for example we saved their age or let's say they had like a bio line that they would use or their wage that we're calculating later, we'd save it in a different table and then we could obviously retrieve that information and display it down here. That's what I'm going to be showing you further on. So what we want to do next is create a new form. Actually, we're going to create different buttons that the user is going to be able to use. First of all, we create a login button so it can obviously go back. We do that simply by typing in, we just create a new form basically form method equals post. We create one of the input tags. Type equals submit. Value equal logout. And that's about it for now. So if you see right here we have a logout button that's been created. So now we're just going to do a trigger function. So if is it and we also need to give it a name. So name equals logout. So if is it dollar post. So if this gets posted, which is logout, every time the button is pressed, obviously the logout thing is going to get posted. Then we want to redirect the user to the homepage. So we're just going to use the meta tag that we used before. I'm just going to quickly copy and paste that. I'll echo this. Go here, paste it there. Equip content URL session.php. So instead of doing session.php all we have to do is change that to index.php. Refresh the page. If okay. So we have to add an else as well obviously. So else, echo none. Continue. 934. Obviously we had to end the one before. So yeah. We click on logout now. It should have redirected us to the login page, but for some reason it hasn't. Let's take a look. Index.php. I'm assuming I'm missing a... Yeah, there we go. So I was missing like a single quote there, which was causing the problem. So I'm going to log in again, which was user1.junior.com. One, two, three. And if we click on the logout button, the user successfully logged out. Now, further ahead, we're going to allow the user to like go ahead with some of the functions on the website. So some of the different web... I'm just going to create a basic function to show you how to retrieve information from a database and display it. So for that, we're going to have to gather some user information. So I'm going to go ahead and log in. Let me test one. Okay. And then we create a new button down here. That's pretty simple. Now we just copy and paste the same thing over and we change the values. So I'm going to call this one account details. Okay. And then we call this details. Okay. So we're going to refresh the page quickly. And we have another button that says account details. So on this button, what's going to happen is the user should be able to register his account details onto the website once he's created the account. And if the account details already exist in the database, they use... Obviously, he wouldn't input them again, but he should be able to view them as well. So if this is account details, then we move on to the next one, which is going to be a new form. So I'm just going to copy the form obviously again because I don't want to waste time. Let me just copy and paste that again. And then we go ahead and change this to text because we want a text entry. Value equals none because we don't need a value there. Name would be... Let's call this full name. Then we move on. And I'm just going to copy and paste this one again because it's easier text. And the name... Obviously, we need the text holder. Actually, it's called placeholder. Equals full name. And then I just copy that and paste it down here. So the next thing we're going to gather from the user is going to be their age. And it will change to age obviously. Then we copy this, paste it over again. And the last thing we're going to gather for now is the wage that the user is going to get paid. So my basic idea about this system is basically like a wage calculator. So the user should be able to calculate their wage. The concept so we can work on this website. Wage per hour, let's say. And that's all. And after that, we're going to do a submit button and the value of the submit button is going to be... Finish. And the name is going to be account details saved. So as you guys can see right here, if you refresh the page from scratch, nothing shows up. But when we click on the account details, we have like a little form showing up for us that we have to input. So now we have to go ahead in the database, create a new table for this user obviously. Or we could still use the same table if we'd like to, but it's always recommended to use a new table. So we're going to call the table account details. We're going to do full name, age. Actually this should go... Yeah, ID should go first. Always keep in mind full name, age, and then the wage obviously. So I'm just going to keep that as is. This to text, this to text, text. And I'm going to do the auto increment for the first one. So we have an auto incremented ID for every record that's saved. Now we go ahead, click on save. And we have a new table where we're going to save all these details from the form. So once we've gathered all these details, we're going to carry on and go and create another elseif for the asset. So if it's a dollar, if it's posting account details saved, then what we want to do is go ahead and gather all those details. So we're going to create new variables, so full name equals dollar post, full name. So what this is going to do is whatever details I've posted through this form, once the submit button is pressed, it's going to gather them and save them into these variables so we can later on go ahead and save them into the database. So we're going to gather the full name and age is obviously going to equal dollar post, age. And last one I'm just going to copy and paste because there's no point of typing again, wage. And then we just type in wage. And once that's done, we want to do a MySQL login. So we do MySQL connect. We type in the obviously run localhost. So we're going to type in localhost. We're logging in through the username root. And then we're going to leave this blank because I haven't set up a password yet. And then we're going to select the database. MySQL select database. The database name is trial system. Okay, then once that's done, we're going to write our first query. So MySQL query. First of all, what we want to do is run a query to check if the user has already saved details into the database or not. So how are we going to do that is, or actually what we could simply do is let the user save the information only once and we can do an edit function in a later tutorial if you guys request that. So we need to check if the username has already filled in this information. Obviously, you should be allowed only once to fill in the information in the database or it's going to be redundant data, which isn't a good thing. So how we do that is we say select start from account details where username or actually where full name. We have to, so just remember we had to do another field in here. So we're going to add another column for the username of the user. Username is going to be the username that's used to login. That's what we're going to use for reference purposes. So we're going to save that quickly. And we've amended another field in here called username. So we're going to say select start from account details where username equals username. So the username is obviously what we've gathered at the start right here. We're just going to gather that again just in case the variable gets lost. Save that here. And then we close that. We're going to do this as a request. And then we're going to call this result mysql.numberOfRose. So what this does is it calculates the amount of rows based on the query. And then request. This thing here there. So if there is any accounts based on any rows in here based on this information, on this query, it's going to display how many rows of information match this criteria. So if it's 1, then it's fine obviously. If it's greater than 1, there shouldn't be. So that should be what the concept is right here. So we say if result is greater than 1, then the user already obviously has the information saved. So if it's greater than 1, we should just display the information to the user. Else, we're going to register this information. Else, we're just going to write another query. And then we're going to say inserts into account details. Oops. Values. We're going to save the... Obviously, first we're going to do a blank because that's for ID. Then we're going to do the full name. Full name. Then we're going to do the age. And then we proceed on to the wage. And then last but not the least, the username. And then once that's done, we just echo out a paragraph and say user details have been saved successfully. Okay. And here, instead of saying anything, we're just going to echo out a paragraph and say user details already exist. Use edit button below to change details. Or actually, we'll just say use delete button to record new details. Okay. So if we now quickly go ahead and refresh this page. And if we do, go ahead and see here. We're going to create a full name, which is going to be user shorhan godino. We're going to type in an age, which is going to be like, let's say 22 for now. And wage is going to be 12 pounds an hour. Finish. User details have been saved successfully. My skewer of number rows and viewing is given. Okay. Let's just see if it saved anything. Well, it has because obviously the rows might have been zero, but there's been an error here as well. So let's take a look at the error. Select star form account details where the username equals possibly because of the missing quotes. We refresh. It's obviously saved twice now. Okay. That shouldn't really be happening. So if the result is greater than one. Yeah. Everything seems correct. I'm just going to echo the result to see what it's actually displaying out. Okay. Oh, now it's working correctly. So let me, let me just take a look. So if we delete these both, and let's start again. I'm going to register a new account. So it hasn't full name. 12. Finish. User details have been saved successfully. Okay. Now we go back to account details and finish. User details have been successfully saved again. Hmm. Okay. Let's try using greater than zero instead. And now we're going to go ahead and delete these. Okay. Now we go account details, register an account. Finish. User details are saved. And then we go account details again. Okay. That's perfect. So obviously once it's saved, now it's not allowing us to save it anymore. Based on that username obviously. So if we go ahead and type in account details, type in finish. It says user details already exists. Use delete button. And to create a new record. So now for the interesting part, we're going to display all the information from the database. So right here we're going to display all the information. So we write a new query for another request. So request one equals my sql query, select star from. We could actually just copy these, this one, because it's going to be the same query. So we're just selecting all the, every record that has the same username as the login session. And then we're going to change it up here. So instead of doing that, we're going to do result. Actually, the second line is going to be the same as well. We need to gather how many rows exist so that we can do a loop for it and then loop it around to gather as much information as it exists. And then result one will equal that. We do result two as well equals my sql query select. It's not going to be query. It's going to be my sql fetch rows fetch array. It's going to be my sql fetch array. And then the query that we're going to pass through for this is going to be request one. So basically what this is going to do is it's going to fetch all the information that is available in this and it's going to save it into result two. Before that we need to start a loop. And we're going to do in the loop is we're going to start a for loop. And then we just change the values and we say is greater than result one. So this loop is going to run as long as the I is equals the same amount as the rows that exist. So inside the loop we have to paste result two so that it can update as it goes. And then here we're going to display the information to the user as well. So we're going to do is echo full name. And the way we're going to gather this is by using numbers to call out or see where the actual information can be referenced. So we're going to do result two, result two. And then we're going to say full name is going to be saved that position one because the way we check this is we start from counting on zero. So on position zero is ID. On position one is full name. Position two is age. So position one is the result. I mean full name. We're just going to refresh this and syntax error result two on line 65. Okay. Let's fix that quickly. Just put a dot in the middle. And as you guys see right here, it says full name dsa dsa dsa which is the full name we obviously saved. We can obviously just if you want to make it easier and more formatible just put it in here. It shouldn't matter anyway. And then we say up here we're just going to do echo count details. Save the count details. And then we say that. And then if we copy and paste the same thing over and over again, we should be able to gather the rest of the results as well. So after full name is the age. So we're going to type in age, then we're going to type in weight here. We don't need the username. The username for was for our reference purposes. So yeah, we're just going to update this to two and three because that's the position in the array for the data that we're looking for. If we refresh, it says all the details that we need. But the only problem here is it's not formatted. So we just do paragraph, paragraph, paragraph, paragraph. That should do that for the formatting. And as you guys can see right here, if we clear this echo result thing, the one should disappear as well. It says saved account details, full name, dsa, whatever, age 21 and wage 12, same as the database. So that's how you would normally create an account. Obviously we've learned that and that's how you would take further information from the user using like a mini form that we've used here. We could obviously design this better, but already this tutorial has been long enough. So I didn't want to make it more boring for you guys, which is why I kept it a bit more shorter by not designing it. And if we click on finish, we also have validation which prevents the user from creating double entries into the database. And that's about it for today's tutorial guys. Hope I was able to help you. I know this is really basic for you guys that already know about PHP, but this was really aimed for beginners and I tried to keep it as easy as I could. Hopefully I didn't confuse you guys. Obviously you can leave me some feedback about this tutorial in the comments. And please let me know if you like a Python tutorial in the next video or should I carry on with PHP. And I'll see you in the next one. And don't forget to subscribe. Bye.


So, hello everybody. Nice to see you again. We had a little short summer break and now we're back with Voice TV and with the next season of Voice TV. And tonight for the beginning of this new season, you will watch us of course once a month, some Monday in the month. And tonight we're opening this new season with a special guest from Aleppo. And his name is Issa Touma. He's a great photographer, curator, filmmaker. And as I would like to call him, he's an art journalist also. And his work is very, very interesting. And through his work, you can learn a lot about the life in Aleppo before the war, during the war, and after the war. He is also a person that has been in a way exchanging the artworks and also all the artists from the East and West, between the Middle East and Europe, particularly. He's been working as a photographer for more than 20 years. He's had a lot of exhibitions around the world. In 1992, he founded the first photography gallery in the Middle East called the Black and White Gallery. And after it was closed in 1995, he opened Le Pond Gallery, which is still working today, and where a lot of very interesting things have been happening, which we will talk about tonight. He is also the founder of the International Photography Festival in Aleppo, the first festival like this in the region. Now 25,000 people are visiting actually this festival during the year. He's also the founder in 1999 of the International Woman Art Festival. And also a very, very interesting project he will be talking about tonight, and that is the art camping project. I could talk a lot much more about his work, but now I just want to have a warm welcome to my dear guest. Hello, Issa. Hi, how are you Maya? Okay, so maybe the internet will be a little slow because of course the internet, yeah, but here is Issa. Okay, I'm happy to meet you all. I don't hear you, but do you hear me? Yes, very well. I see you, but I cannot hear you. Oh, that's very strange. I can now. So I have no idea who is here at the moment. Do you hear me now? No? Yes, yes, very well. Okay, I think I have to refresh. Okay, good. I thank you. I was talking about the bad internet and Aleppo, and we forgot the bad internet in Serbia. That's the issue. Yeah, so sorry about that, but I actually had to also restart my internet and computer, so I have no idea what was happening, but we're back. Yeah, so it's okay, I hope it will work well from now on. Yeah. Okay, so Issa, I had this short introduction, and welcome to our show tonight. I hope you're well. How are things in Aleppo at the moment? Life continues after the war, and people just busy with rebuilding and also with the life matters. So life become very expensive last year completely. So in the way people like become more poor, of course, and it's really difficult for them to continue in this way, like the level of the money go down a little bit, and this is make a huge problem for the public, especially things you come from outside, and this make really hard life for the Aleppian people. In 2016, when Aleppo united, they had people who had some money, they started renovating, they started to rebuilding home, and there was really optimism, but now it's not anymore because like me even, like I start to rebuild my home, and now I'm not doing that from long, long time, because I cannot continue, things are very expensive. And what about the situation with the pandemic there? How did it strike and how is the healthcare system there? How are you coping with that? The problem is not the rules. The government has asked people to become careful and things like that. But when you have some religious background, society, especially people who are over 40 years old, so it's almost impossible to tell them about the rules because they trust the gut and they don't trust the law. So, and this kind of situation is really a big problem for everyone, you know, even it's not matter, even if you income into Syria, they cannot work with the people who trust the gut only. This is this is biggest story, you know, so you can see people like very close to each other in the bakeries. We have a little bit bread problem. So in the in any line, you know, in any line you have if they want to get gas, bake bread, rice or anything. So you can see them very close to each other. Like when I stop in the line, I want to buy anything. So you can see behind me, I'm seriously telling to the people, no one come around me. So I'm the only person who like one meter all sides from around me, it's empty. But the rest it's all stuck to each other.  How do you cope with that at the moment? There is a lot of center like last few weeks, because they open many centers for people can get the corona like medicine. So and but the numbers of the people is not big, I think, because when I go to take it months ago, so I saw 35 people, 40 people only. But anyway, the system cannot deal with the big number also, because 35, 40 people, I think the small hospital where I was. So for them, it was big number. So they say, oh, come back tomorrow. I say, okay, we are just 40 people. And we cannot, we can do it. So in the end, we push the doctors to finish it. So it's kind of the trusting God, some lazy doctors and slow system. It's all will make it look really bad situation in Syria for this. Yeah. And also, and of course, the economic crisis that you're talking about at the moment. Yes, sure. Sure. Like, and there's number of the people they don't believe in corona until now. They don't believe that it's happening or something happening. Like one of my neighbors died in my street. So in that, in that, in that night, we hear later, it's just like 53 people die from corona.  So it's, it was really like big problem. And no one, no one want to take it seriously from the people. Yes. I think in Middle East, we have problem to follow rules and laws. It's really big problem because this is can come with the education. It's not coming with the other way. And what would because of course, before the pandemic, there were a lot much more news about the situation in the Middle East. And then when the global pandemic started, I remember that I was talking what is happening with the Middle East crisis. Nobody is talking about it. I'm of course talking about the Western media. It was it just disappears from the news. And I know a lot of people, I was talking a friend just another couple of days ago, and I told him that I'm going to do an interview with you and that I would really like to come to Aleppo. And you also invited me, which would be really great. And then he told me, Oh, no, you cannot go there. You don't know the situation in Syria is nothing now. Yeah. So so I really because of the audience, most of the people are not completely aware what is happening. Can you just give us a short little introduction? How is the situation now with the war in Syria? How is it in Aleppo? How are you living your lives? Is there any culture that is happening now? And how much? Yeah. Yeah. I can inform you that. I can inform you shortly. This, as I told you, it's earlier that people, they don't believe in this problem. So for me, as gallery, I stop all my activity at the gallery until 2022. Because I know if I make any opening, no one will wear a mask. And everybody like maybe one or two people will come between 200 people who will come to the opening will wear a mask. So for me, it's really a big problem. And I cannot, I cannot do that. I cannot make be responsible to be anyone affected from the COVID-19 and in my gallery. So I'm making private meeting with limited number. I'm making art camping with limited number of the people, like 10, 20 people. We know we are far from each other. So that's easy. But you cannot control opening. Opening because of the people until 2022 will open almost all the world. I say, okay, I will do the big activity next year 2022. Fine for me. Situation in Aleppo, it's no war from December 22, 2016. So it was finished. Also in almost like most of the city in Aleppo, except Idlib. And around Hasake, around Hasake, there is big problem between the Kurdish and the Turkish army. And Idlib, it's like a storage of the jihadists now. It's all kind killers, almost there, sitting there. So fanatics, religious fanatics, strange ideas, strange, even like we hear something we never heard in Islam before, about the Islam before. So it's happening. They are creating new religion kind of the new Islamic religion in that country, that part from the Syria. It's just one state from the Syrian, Syria is not the majority. So now you can travel also between Aleppo and Damascus safe. And you can go to the airport safe. Not so much checkpoint. So it's fast. Like before, during the war, we take 10 to 12 hours to go the clip between Aleppo and Damascus. Now we can do it in four hours only for our health. So it's different. This easy things, it's really good. But the problem, it's who is the like, expensive life, you know. So of course, people who had money, they go to the restaurant, they do things, but not everybody can do that. Yeah, still limited organization of UN working in Syria. Not like before sending help, but the situation in Syria, it's really like going calm in general. And what would you say? How is the life and the society different in Syria before and after the war? Because that is, yeah, the war has liberated the people's minds. I know this is a sentence. Yeah, that is really important. Yeah. Yeah, I will tell you something like in Aleppo society, people over 40 years old, they still dreaming to that the life one day will become better. And we should work to bring Syria as before, you know, as before the war. Of course, before the war was quiet, safe and things, but it was lot of fake society. Fake society, they was lying on each other. They was kind of the more religious society or not religious, let's say, acting as they are really believed but I'm really small, many of them because it's come the religion kind of the fashion in that time. So after what make the war, war is changed the society, not just destroy building and countries, is destroy everything they believe. So this is great chance for the people to choose another choice. There's a lot of people have another ideas, another way to thinking and they never get the chance before the war to express himself and to show what they think and to talk openly to each other. What I saw today on Facebook and things incredible that girls like talking about a lot of things, they're talking about the boyfriend, talking about sex, talking about the relationship openly on Facebook. And this was almost impossible before the war. And even like you can see swimming pool, wearing a swimming pool, going to swim and things like that, this was almost today that the young generation in Syria going very close to the young generation in Europe in very fast way. So because these people, they grow up without pass. They don't remember the life before the war to practice. So they remember the life after the war only during the war and after the war. So they are the generation of today and tomorrow. They are not generation of the old life we had before the war. So people over 40 years old, they should deal with them and definitely they cannot fight them because they are so strong and incredibly like amazing characters, owners. Of course, they will do a lot of mistake this generation. Let's make some example to make it understandable for the Western audience, like part from the hippies who make the hippies movement in Europe, after when they become tired from that crazy idea. So they become like the intellectual, they become professors in universities and things like that. So I meet many of them and they were so proud that they are, they was from the hippies movement in all time. And also later because this generation will have different experience, make him war make the people grow up very fast. So also that time freedom in Europe. So what happened later, they become kind of the, okay, enough, let's do serious things.  Not everybody of course, not everybody of course, but I can talk like good numbers from the society. They was really like that way. And I never like to come back to the life before the war because after the war I can see more hopes for developing the country in healthy ways. And do you see the West looking at the situation the same way as you do? Because I know in your recent work, the notes from Aleppo, you have one which of course all the audience will be able to have the links below on YouTube to see all your work and notes from Aleppo are really a great piece of work. We will talk about it a little later, but I just want to say here, you said that there was like a Christmas happening in Aleppo after the war and everything was coming back to normal and there was a flag, of course the Syrian flag, and you said that a lot of Western media did not react well to this. So what's your opinion on this? Yeah of course, Western media they don't want to say, they cannot say because 22 of December when Aleppo united, after four days Christmas was going on in the middle of Aleppo. So when I go to photographer to find out 80% of the people who come to the Christian celebration was Muslim people. So it's just four days after. No, not four days, two days after. So it's incredible, this story because even I didn't believe that will happen, you know, because I think for sure some fanatics they will not come, some people they will not come, and later I find out majority of the people they are not fanatic at all. So they come, everybody to dance to become happy, for first happy celebration, they didn't care if it's Christian or not Christian or whatever it is, you know. So they was all with the light and things and crazy things. So it was surprise for me also. So for Western media they cannot that fast, except that they lost. Because the biggest problem of the Western media, they take the situation in Syria as pieces of stone, it's never changed, only it's changed when they want to change it. So it's not possible because the society was growing so fast as I informed you about the young people. It's not just young people, all people become tired, they don't want to fight anymore, the other ideas and or other people's thinking way. So the Western media, they until like last week, one of the French important channel, they invite the same people who run away from 2013 to Europe and they was talking same stories and the same way they talk in 2013, because they didn't see all this, they didn't see all this development happening, they didn't know anything about it. One of the Western media's big wrong, it's that they are not open. They should open to all sides. And this is what I was talking about in my in my travel last four years to more than 120 cities in Europe. I was telling, okay, do not talk to me if you don't listen to all sides. All sides have stories. And all sides, they are not following political leaders from any political leaders. So the problem like we can see like some of our revolutionary people, they are crazy about Erdogan, who's Erdogan for us. They are not, they are proud with him. And this is, for me, it's very strange. And so people who follow these people, they will, because they are taking money from them, they will say whatever they want, these people. Of course, the same happened also in Europe, because they are taking some European money from some foundation, even cultural foundation, you know, it's amazing, they make this, you know, like one of the cultural foundation directors, she become very angry from me because I didn't take site. Even we work together like more than 15 years, but it's it's finished because they want me to take site. And to not take site, to not take site is confuse them, because, oh, this is dangerous. What is going to say? What is going to happen, you know? Yeah, they expect from you to say the things that they want to hear, you know, and they want, you know, as your gallery was called the Black and White Gallery, they want the Black and White World actually, you know. Yeah, sure. And also like the gallery, the second gallery I have at La Paune, it's a bridge, so also they want to make the bridge, but the bridge in the way they wanted, not in the way I wanted. For me, I find that from the beginning that it's really dirty game, so I didn't want to become site in this dirty game, because for me, I start to talk about only about the thing I saw by myself. That's why all my heroes in all my story, they are real people and they are acting normal way. There is no acting in the stories. There's people who are talking to me like I'm talking to you now, very free, very comfortable, sometimes scared, because like the woman, we have not lost yet all the story, because they are afraid, they didn't know the future, what is coming for them. So, but they was honest. And this is what important for me, because I decided to bring the stories of the trustful people, I know them personally. So they are neighbors, they are friends, they are people I know them, and I trust them, and I trust what they say. And this was the important things for me. And I think also what is important when we were talking a couple of days ago, when you told me that you, of course, we will now start talking a little bit about your work, not a little bit, but a big bit about your work, but you were telling me that about the media coverage, and about journalism, that you cannot talk about any country, Aleppo, Syria, if you have not been there in the last couple of months.  And you told me, I cannot talk about the city in the meantime, because I was not there, you have to be there. And we know a lot of Western media function, that they look from the outside, not being there and not having an idea what's actually happening there with the normal people. Yes, that's right. And if you, many times in my lecture, I say if I spent more than six months, do not believe me, because it's the story become like Aleppo is changing that time during that six months, because worse situation life go completely like different ways. And it's become short, we don't know after five minutes what's going to home, you cannot give appointment, cannot do anything. And I was shocked like to find out like many journalists, there was just 15 days during five years war in my city. They come 10 or five to 15 days to Aleppo city. And they was keep talking about the Aleppo war for five years. And this is I cannot believe it at all that they are doing this is completely unprofessional. When I challenge them how you know, they say, Oh, we have trustful people. So you have trustful people have sight. So you are not telling complete the story, you are telling part from the story. And you are not saying to the people, Western audience that you are telling part from the story, you are telling, this is the full story. And Western people, for sure, audience, there was not stupid, because I think that why when I was lecturing in West, it was always full hall because people come to hear another story, because maybe they search, maybe they look at around, or maybe some friend, because I have a lot of friends in West. So maybe advise them to come. And I hear from one journalist, he say, he say, one of our diplomat who's with the like fighters who's fighting in Syria, like openly, but she advised me if you want to hear the other kind of story, apart from the crew, you should interview Issa. So I was a little bit really like happy to hear that, because not every day you hear this kind of advisor and like, or this kind of story from, from journalists, yeah. Yeah, we also have a question from the audience from Battle Madra, who asks you, how do people react to the Turkish military presence in North Syria? Oh, that is an incredible story. Without any like looking for the site, acting of the Turkish government make really like so much hate with the Turkish politic in Syria, from all sides almost, except the side who's taking money from the government, Turkish army, I mean, it left. So in general, most of the Syrian, you can be like, I know oppositions, I know people who are like pro government, I know people have no side ethnics and everybody, it's really, really hating that. And they don't know exactly the, the, because it's not sharp, the Turkish politic, what they want. It's just like, something like they come here and they don't know how to come out. It's really incredible, this story. And it's, it's like, like pain, but like it's something so hard to understand for the Syrian. And definitely no one I know, from any logical, he liked the country, he liked his Turkish friend, he liked, he liked, even like, we have friends in Turkey, like Osman Kavala, like, and everybody, you know, and that guy, he's in the jail from one year, we don't know why, like him 300,000, but no one can say anything to Turkey from Western media seriously. Maybe sometime you hear some critic, because he's part from the NATO. So if it's, if, if any country like front of West, the critic will not be serious. So, but in Syria, I don't, I'd never meet anyone like that position of the Turkish army in North Syria. Yes, I would, I would really talk to you about the political situation forever, but I would really like to also talk about your artwork, which is very important, because it is in a way a mixture of art and politics. Also, it's a mixture of photography, video, and media coverage. I think that your work is very important, because it's not only an artwork, but it's an evidence of what was happening during the war, and also an evidence what is happening after the war. And of course, all the recent things that you are doing now to bring the, the art back into, into a lack for in a way that it is supposed to happen after the war. You've done three very interesting movies. All of them we will link below. One of them, which I really liked, well, both of the ones from the war, I liked a lot. One is called Nine Days From My Window in Aleppo, where you were experiencing, well, you were trying to give us the experience of the war during the nine days you were filming. And the other one is Greetings From Aleppo, that has this really a little bit like even humoristic title, because it's like a postcard, you know. That's what I was thinking about it. It's like, here you go, Westerners. This is the Greetings From Aleppo. This is the postcard, what I want to tell you that is really happening here. And also, we will see a short clip from this movie, which I liked from the end. That isn't a little bit joking with the Western media, I would say. Yeah, actually, it's when I make the Nine Day, I get like, thousands of the question in every meeting with the audience in West. So because Nine Day, it's go, I think more than 60 festival it's shown and takes seven words, six, seven words. So that's why it was really like we should make another movie, explain to the people how is the life going. So that way come greetings from Aleppo to the light, because it's really answering every question they ask. Yeah, so I would really like now to show the first clip and it's actually the end of the movie, Nine Days From Aleppo. Of course, it's a beautiful part. Yeah, it's a beautiful part and I'm warmly asking the audience to look at the movie after our talk, but now we will just see the end and Sayed Ali began with a weapon, it was not a peaceful place at all. Are we back? Yes. And in the greetings from Aleppo, there is a very interesting part, which I would also like to show the audience. And this is the part with your gallery actually. Ah, yeah. Yes. And then, yeah, we can we can look at it maybe now and then you can say something a little bit about the whole situation with the gallery during the war. Yeah. And the art. What is it that you learn to walk like the rest of the children? The gallery I have is the meeting point. I always try to be open to each other and work together. Yes. Yes. I will tell you something about greetings. The people you saw in the picture, only one person left in Aleppo, all left out to travel out, still in Aleppo, only one person left. From the party? From the party? No one. I miss them all. Yeah. So they all left or did they, I didn't understand. Yeah, they go different directions because of the life story, some of them for studies, some of them for life, some of them for to find another opportunity. So it's for many, many reasons. And this this was all this party that we were looking at was actually happening during the war? Sure. Yes. You can hear bombing outside sometime. It's just like incredible because we make the music high because just to not hear it anymore. But it was bombing every second in that time. And people take risk to come to the gallery. But we need to meet, we need to see someone to forget about the war. So the gallery was a really great meeting place for not just young people, also for many generations. We create also something called a tea party. So we meet every week for drink tea just like that. We make very nice collection of tea and we talk about the situation, politics, have fun, talk with intellectual artists and some other friends. Yes, yes. So it was some kind of a little refugee place where you felt Yeah, also we did a lot of exhibitions. Like, yeah, I get the challenge later to make also the 12th International Photo Festival, which has happened completely during the war with hundreds of photographers from all around the world. So we show it part part by part at the gallery because we cannot take the risk to use our big building at the old city because there it was really terrible war going on. And also because like bomb come inside the building and destroy all my festival material. Yeah, yeah. So it's for many reasons we cannot do it. So I use the gallery for show that like to around 100 photographer artwork. Yes, and you I also asked you because you now said that a lot of people from the video left left Aleppo and you left the country and you also at one point were in Europe, but you came back and you you didn't want to stay in Europe. It's never passed three months in Europe like every like few months I come back again to Aleppo. Sometime for shooting sometime to make activity in my gallery because I didn't want to close my gallery at all completely. I didn't want to stay two years or like I had really long resident in Sweden, Gavle city, and there was amazing welcome from the city and municipality there. So but for me like I don't know how I don't remember how many time I go up and down because almost like every time I want to do something I come back to Aleppo and do it stay do it come to Sweden again. From Sweden I go to many countries in Europe so that's why I visit like a lot of cities and talk because when I am in Europe people easy for them to invite me. So yeah yeah and and I would also like to see the other clip from the movie Greetings from Aleppo with the about the media coverage and it's really really fun and also yeah you can tell us a little bit. I can make I can make 10 movies with a lot of fun about the western media what they were saying and what was the reality it's it's really so I was always almost laughing is that logic it's how they do that you know just like incredible in the same time it's sad because they don't know when you make fake news or you kill people in the war zone like incredible like British big magazine it's make like an article about Aleppo and say it's Aleppo is the city of cat and the skull and one million people was living there like if you if you make that kind article in the British important media and people will think there's no people in Aleppo left so they will not be sorry if the if the warrior get a bomb at the city completely but she'd like ignore it one million people she like just like put X on them and in her article show Aleppo like it's city of cat and the skulls that that not human I think you know and you should each one of them go to the court case because I think they lie without feeling any guilty yes yeah of course we we know about that so shall we watch this clip that demonstrates the thing you were saying yeah yes she was reading the news funny way yeah yeah she was yeah joking with with the way the the news coverage was yeah but that night the fourth sister they never sleep they was the bombing was very close in the way in the way they couldn't sleep and all of them in in the of course when in the morning come out for some reason always the fight to stop at 8 a.m. we don't know why so just like they bomb each other all night after four or five o'clock in the evening evening until 8 a.m. 8 a.m. everybody goes to sleep so it's it was amazing wash I never saw a war by timing yeah yeah it's interesting and also there is a very interesting project that you did also during the war called women we have not lost yet with 15 women that took refugee in Aleppo during the great attack by the radical Islamists you did photos of them and also you made the book the book yeah the book and we will also see a slideshow with with some of the photographs and you also have a new project that you're doing now because in this project all the eyes of the women were covered because of course you had to protect their identities so do you want to tell us a little bit about the project then we can see the slideshow of the women yeah there's of course big difference between the first book and coming books the first book woman inside you can see them they don't know anything about tomorrow there was a scare from the war they was scared that the fanatics they will enter the city and their life would change completely that mean no free dresses no even if the woman she's valid maybe she will put more things on her head and body so she cannot go out without men so a lot of a lot of like fear in the first book you can see also the suffer you can feel it from the accent like even 18 years ago when she say okay I will go to the restaurant as much I can because tomorrow I don't know if I can do it so it's simple things it's simple dreams not big dreams but it's it's big during the war because during the war when you wish sometime to have really clean water you cannot get that and you should have your dream to have like 15 minute electricity to charge your mobile you cannot have that and on the top of all these problems you can have you always scare that the fanatics will cross the city and equip it completely and the life will come completely upside down this is the first book of course the girls was incredibly strong and have courage to do this book because if in case the city fall down so this is will be so dangerous for them so but in the second book it's completely different it's about the new generation I talk about them girls still have not big dreams but you can see them more trusting himself more they know what they want but maybe they cannot get it but at least they know what they want they are strong they don't care about the the man's life more because they are they know that it's man's control let's say not man's life man's control so they know exactly they can work they can dress as they like and they can do whatever they like it's different even if they are religious girls or not religious girl they are doing what they like that exactly not what the other people want yes and shall we see also now a little slideshow of your first book and of course I hope we will see your next book when it gets out yes you say you have to unmute your mic yeah okay yeah okay yeah and we have a couple of comments I just want to read from Eva asked thank you Issa so nice to see you and parts of your films again you were such an appreciated guest as an artist at the residence during the two years in godless Sweden a few years ago we learned so much yeah she was the director of the cultural center the best one yeah so she is watching the show Kelly McGinn I hope I'm pronouncing this well says the solidarity to you Issa and your gallery and city and April say April Sanchez says I'm glad to hear news of this again thanks welcome yeah and so we come to really I was really fascinated when I watched your work notes from Aleppo which is actually a work you did after the war a series of story where you're rediscovering Aleppo after the war in 2016 it's also won the world press award in 2019 the thing I love most about it is that it is very interactive and you combine your photographs stories and also videos and there is a specific way I watched it on my computer not my mobile phone but you told me that on the smartphone you have an application so you can watch the stories in the way you want clicking and going from one story to another so can you tell me something about this project and why you did it in this specific way we start this project with paradox in netherland and because during the war I have really a lot of material in my laptops with a lot of image and things and all can be stories and movie but to make movies every month it was too much so I think it was the best way to make it in this way so you can you can make it more more story in the future so uh it's come out and I didn't know that I will get a word of the wordpress photo so when I go to the wordpress photo one of the Australian famous journalists he tell me okay all the people you critical in your lectures are around you today be careful everybody that why explain how they was looking to me some of the audience not everybody of course wordpress make amazing welcome and everything was really good the celebration and everything I enjoyed a lot but at the beginning when I entered inside the hall and welcoming first welcome just for the journalist and everybody I saw some people look at to me strange way because that's why maybe some of the journalists I critic them but I don't know how they look so in many many of the lectures so that Australian guy he was really amazing and he was explained to me what is going on that mean they was talking behind me in some way but I was happy that they can at least by force let's say not by because they don't they hear another opinion so not by nice way because I was so active in my lectures and travels in the way I did more than any intellectual can do it maybe in 10 years lecture my lecture number was really big yeah so I think they hear a lot about what is going on and what talk what I'm talking about yes and I think that people should see this because they will really get a sense of what happened after the war and how the rebuilding started and it also says a lot about art and culture in Aleppo after the war and the episodes are great with the people and all the stories of the people that you're talking about specific stories and the whole situation through this really intimate I would say lens yeah I think some of the stories it no one hear about like also the Baron hotel when they in entire like German media they say that completely destroyed and in my stories you can see it it's come after the war it's still there and the the owner still she's there talking about yes they have economy problem but no one destroyed the hotel she was surprised when I tell her in the media they say it's completely gone and like some of the artists who had pictures of the hotel they sell it the pictures with a lot of money because this is the only thing left from the hotel which get destroyed and so it's it was really like incredible development in wrong way but I think because also something healthy because I'm in in direct contact with west a lot like lot of western talk to me and ask me question and things like that so I compared our conversation with the things happening in Aleppo so that's why I can I'm always I have fresh information what I see it in Aleppo with my eyes and what I hear it going on in in the western country so also I read a lot of international magazines so that is keep me in in in contact what is going on in in in general in which direction going the information so always I think I that way I think it was much better messengers or let's say with the gallery name look on the bridge much better bridge between here and western country and so what bridge are you going to build in the future what what are your new works because you have this project called the art camping which is very active where you are inviting the artists from Europe to come to Aleppo and you're making this kind of artistic exchange between the Middle East and and Europe and other parts of the world and also you can tell us a little bit about that and also about some of your future projects that we would love to see in the future um I can tell you something I don't I don't plan for long distance because because I always like work for today most most of the time because I try to understand I try to see what is going on and for the future of course I have a lot of things to do like the coming woman art festival book woman art woman we have not lost the book under the name freedom of choice so it will be also two movies coming out it's really beautiful one of them the life of the three young people two girls one boy and they make a strong choice and really revolutionary choice for their life so there was three of them they was from really religious background religious society and after that they have another choice in their life so they didn't hide it they didn't make it the slowly things they they just choose and fight for what they believe it the new belief so you will see it I will not talk about that so much but because you will see it but in general maybe I can say something about what I do here what I do here it's like I believe strongly in the power of art and culture and this is important for me like I think art and culture can change a lot in the society and my work in my work I try to show that I try to show that many people in the books and after the books and also the project I have it they get opportunity they was happy also to get opportunity that other people hear them and this is important point imagine if we do that very large project in the future and make this happen with larger audience like big audience big lot of people because as I say earlier that the the war is not just destroyed the country and the building is destroyed the society so let's make big question we as artists we cannot stop the war machine because the political around the world when they want to make war in Syria Iraq Afghanistan we whatever we do we demonstrate we say no to the war we cannot stop it but after the war they get tired they sell weapon so they go to their country without care what happened to the people there this is why here come the important work of the artist and that is what I'm trying to do here like to be example in a small level but we have a lot to do for the society because the society when they stop believing about the system before the war they start to search about the new way of the thinking new way of the living so they can easily go like get control from the fanatics again they are not fanatic now but in long distance there will be controlled by them when you see united the state and western country like spending billions like 800 billions when I hear about Afghanistan I was sick I said okay how much get the artist in entire europe and middle east one billion no of course not it just like few million maybe euros you know something like that so imagine to use 800 millions in syria iraq and afghanistan for culture and art really we will have science intellectual we'll make everybody english and we'll make everybody like very nice and following the law the law and putting max for corona coronavirus so using mask in the everywhere so it's incredible it's how much will cost make simple project like okay if every young person from the new generation read two books from international writers or local writers important writers who are really important for the cultural life in the in the world two books and you get a hundred a hundred dollar will not we will have three new countries syria iraq and afghanistan with the new generation because half of these readers will affect from the ideas and they will read something far from the religious and they will change the society because they open their mind how much will cost that maybe not even one billion i hear i become really angry when i hear the budget they use it for war and the budget they they give it for artists and and everybody european country for covet 19 they give between 800 to 3500 euro like for the artists for living not every country some countries only what can make that money but they have billions for war yes okay let's let's tell them you you want you cannot stop you you want to earn money from the weapon do that even against that but let's make something after the war correct that to collect that it's incredible culture and art it's really important in a way i don't know they ignore and this is my work here and this is what i'm doing now and this is what i think even like even 10 15 people they get involved and they can do something and they can say and whatever they want and we can make the people hear them that's very important even i cannot pay anything for anybody because i don't have budget yeah thank you i don't know if i explain it right way yeah no you're completely you completely explained and i think this is a great message to uh to end our talk tonight because i'm i'm completely with you on this that the world would look completely different if we would spend money on things like arts culture like education like the healthcare system and of course the environment ecology and not guns wars and and global capitalism as it is so thank you is so much for for being our guest tonight it was really really a big pleasure talking to you and i also am really looking forward to seeing your next work and we also have people here that say that they're really waiting for the new stories about the communities in Aleppo that the notes from Aleppo is too long ago so we hope we will have some more notes from Aleppo from you and hope to see you in Aleppo also oh yeah you're welcome everybody welcome yes yes yes yeah i think i think it's the right time to visit it because of course apart from the city destroyed but still so beautiful because uh it's too much to see thank you thank you so much thank you for inviting me thank you


the Loyal Washington Candidate Forum. This program is part of a series presented by The Bridge and Orca Media to help voters get to know their candidates better. I'm Keith Gosland. I'm Ann Charles to share their views and to explain why they think they should be elected. Before introducing the two candidates who are with us tonight, I'm briefly going to go over the format. Yes, sit back and relax. We asked the public for questions in advance, and we have used them to help us develop a list of questions for the candidates. We did this along with input from the staff of The Bridge and Orca Media, as well as from your moderators tonight. During this program, we will also take call-in questions. You can call Orca at<PHONE_NUMBER>.  We will ask as many questions tonight as we can fit in. Candidates were not given the questions in advance. The seven invited are running for the Loyal Washington House seat. This includes Elmore, Morristown, Stowe, Woodbury, and Worcester. This is a two seat district. However, only one of the current incumbents is seeking reelection. Two of the poor candidates on the ballot accepted the invitation to participate in this live form. The other two candidates were extended an invitation to submit a two minute recorded statement regarding their candidacy, but none was received. So enough of us. Let's meet the candidates. In alphabetical order by last name, as you appear on the ballot, Sadia Lamont from Morristown, a Democrat, Worcester, Vermont, formerly of Plainfield, also a Democrat, and Offram is the current incumbent. So welcome, and Sadia, if you would like to start with your opening remarks. I just recently graduated from Emerge, Vermont, in which we had a homework assignment. I interviewed David Maloney, and I asked him, do you think I should run for office? And if so, which seat? Decision, and gave me his blessing. And here we are, and I'm now running to serve as I've been serving in my community-based community. To serve was Jeff Smith, who was speaker at the time. Affairs at this time in the legislature, as people may know, there's a huge turnover of people who have left. I do think that in the legislature, in order to get things done, we need a balance of new people, new ideas, fresh new blood, and people with experience who know how to get things done, who are willing to make compromises as painful as that sometimes can be in order to get things done. And I have come from very strong principles and ideals imbued by my immigrant refugee parents. But I guess I have the temperament to work in the legislature when other people shouldn't try. And we want to start with you, Abram. What do you believe is the most important issue facing your district? If you are elected to the Vermont House, how will you use this role to improve your district? As time allows, how will you maintain contact with members of your district? I think ultimately, and this is a big issue that's devised into many, many parts, but it's really the economy, the ability of people to make a living, to pay for their housing, housing, and rental housing, in particular, all of Lomwell County, not just our district, is really out of bounds right now. That's a statewide issue, but it's particularly hard in Lomwell County right now. And the services that are needed in order for people to do that, including affordable and available childcare. So I think that is really, people are struggling. People want to work, and they can't make it. And there are jobs open everywhere, but people are struggling to make that. So that's the biggest issue. And I'm particularly interested in having some background in the housing issue from work I've done before I was in the legislature. And that's one that I think I can add something to, whether or not I end up on the committee that deals with that issue. Thank you. May you please repeat the question? OK. What do you believe is the most important issue facing your district? If you were elected to the Vermont House, how will you use this role to improve your district? As time allows, how will you maintain contact with members of your district? So I will agree and concur with my dear friend, Auburn, here. And I would agree and say housing is a big issue, is one of the biggest issues in our community. I've been serving on committees around housing for, and currently I'm working in partnership with.


Well, hi there. My name is Sandy Olnock and I am an artist and paper crafter here on YouTube I'll be painting with a thirsty brush with only three colors And I want to show you how I got a variety of colors out of three simple tubes of paint these are from the Daniel Smith Essentials set and I was very excited to be able to produce results like this from just three paints And I'll show you how I did. I started off by stamping on some arches rough watercolor paper with Distress Inks by Ranger and this is going to allow some of that color to break down a little bit and Disappear for the most part. I'm using weathered wood and bundled sage I believe for these and here's the color chart that I made in a previous video that I'll link you to at the end There are color names at the top I just apparently didn't move the camera enough to see them But I can look on this grid and see which colors Mixed to make each one of those shades of purples blues oranges greens, etc The amount of color is also indicated on here So I can tell whether a purple is made by adding more blue or less blue than the red and here with the green I want this green so I'm going to mix a couple shades of green based on Hansa yellow light and some ultra marine blue So these are two of the colors that are in that six essential set I started off by just putting a little bit of the blue into the Hansa yellow light I realized I wanted an even lighter color so I just made another pool of color so I could mix a lighter version of it and Leave the other part for later in the leaves I'm just painting straight over top of this Distress Ink To color the highlight portions of the leaves and I'll use the mid-tone to color the bottom section I want the leaves to pretty much disappear I want the flowers to be the highlight in the painting and on the card But I wanted to get some color in here in a little bit of depth I'll add a little more detail to them at the very very end But I'm just gonna throw the color in here and let it sit there while I paint the flowers But I realized also there are stems in here I didn't find all of them at this time so I will jump in later and go back and do some stems So I'm leaving all that paint there so I can go back and add it later on But I just mixed another kind of green using more blue and you can get an infinite variety by the amounts of each color that you add Next I'll be mixing the beautiful quinacridone rose color along with some of that same French ultramarine blue that I just used with the green and Making two different kinds of purples one is going to be more heavily blue The other will be more heavily red You can have a piece of scratch paper off to the side and test all your colors But on a flower like a hydrangea the variety of purples that are within one little bunch of flowers is huge And I'm just going to be playing around with how to move the color and how to blend the color Do I want some of it to be real washy and others to be a little on the I Guess more dry brush side and as I worked through just playing around Letting the watercolor do its own thing I would just make a little pool of a very watery color and Drop in another color into it drop in a little more of the bluish purple into the pinkish And just see what happens this stamp is perfect for that kind of practice because the flowers are very forgiving They're just a whole bunch of blossoms, and it's real easy to do In between all of this that I'm doing I have a paper towel off to the side, and I'm wiping the brush Sometimes I leave a little moisture in it So it's a damp brush and the dampness is what's pulling a little bit of that color around so it's very pale There are other times when I pull out even more water up out of it And I start pulling that color around and I get a very dry brush look Because I'm not pushing more water around if you have more water loaded in it's going to make it a softer Blend that's gonna it's gonna move the color more and I like the hard edges that I'm getting and as I start creating this So throughout all of this I just started using that dryer brush And this is called a thirsty brush technique because what it's doing is absorbing some of that extra paint If you have pools of paint if you've mixed up a color that's too watery and you just have too much of it on there Empty your brush of color and water and squeeze it all out on your paper towel And then just lay it down and let it suck the color back out You could do it with a paper towel, but sometimes you get a really interesting effect Using the brush to pull that color out instead of trying to dab it in some way Because you can dab it out of just one little tiny corner if you target it with your brush The brush I'm using is a silver brush from their black velvet line Which is my favorite and one of the things that's really nice is even though I'm using a big fat brush This is a number eight. I'm also getting a lot of detail You can see how small of a line I can get because it has a real nice point to it And I'm speeding up the painting because there's gonna be a lot of this same type of flower painting going on But I'll chat a little bit more with you as I go along here When you're buying brushes one of the important things that That you need to look for is will it hold enough paint and water in it? And there are some brushes that literally, you know as soon as you get your paint in them and try them It just it's almost like they're dry immediately once you put that that color out there But here with this brush it allows it to continue to put out a little color and a little water Because it's got a really nice body to it. It also has a very nice fine point And there are a lot of brushes that don't necessarily get to a fine point like this Now here I found my spot where I all those little stems are inside of the flower So I stopped to mix a little bit of that green and when you are mixing your colors You can leave them on your palette and you can re-wet anything and reuse that color again So I can get that same green that I had before just by picking it up on the palette Now throughout this I didn't mix up a ton of purple I'm just mixing up a little at a time to see how much I need Because I tend to wash my palette entirely when I'm done with my painting unless I'm gonna paint something else It's gonna have those colors right away But in generally I just I have in this weird habit I know there are a lot of artists who'd love to have all that color sitting on their palette But I like clean places so I can choose what colors are going to be on there rather than Okay, yesterday I painted with green so now everything I paint is gonna have a green tinge do it So I'm a little crazy that way But here I'm I mixed up a color that wasn't quite the same purple But what I'm doing is taking a thirsty brush and pushing some of that color from the shadow Across each petal and I'm leaving white space because the white space is what's going to make it have that real water color feel Because it almost it sort of makes the flower start to sparkle I guess you might say and It doesn't matter that the purple is a little different. It's a little more red So this bottom flower is a little more on the heavy red side I've just alternating my flowers. So some of them I'll pull from the blue pile of paint and some I pull from the red and alternate the back and forth and Just by the way, I'm laying my brush down and sort of laying it on its side So that I get those funky little edges that you get from water coloring this way So let's speed through the rest of this and you can watch the flower develop and You could also see that some of that rich color that we had on the left hand side is starting to dry So it's lightening for the most part. All water color is going to lighten. There's very few excuse me That are going to stay Exactly the color that you put them down So if you want something to be richer you can either mix a richer color to start with and I would test it out on a piece of paper to make sure it's the color that you want and Let it dry fully so you can see what it's going to dry like Or just go back over with some layers at the end and do a little glazing with a deeper color so at the very end of this I'm going to add more deep shadows because I Started seeing how much it was softening and that there were some areas that had nice rich contrast and others that didn't But with watercolor you can always go back in And add a little bit more later on and you can also lift off some colors. There's lots of different ways that you can Sort of modulate the color after you're finished with the first layer the first place of paint So Just about finished with this and I was debating whether or not I wanted Background around it or whether I just wanted to leave these colors against this fresh white background and The more I looked at it the more I just was thinking in my brain. Look at that beautiful blue. That's on my palette Just look at that. What would happen if I tried to do a blue background now. I have tried large areas of solid colors before I Haven't tried it. I don't think on arches And if I have then I didn't have success at it because I know I've tried this a few times And it was not the best move But I decided to try it with this and it for the most part came out Okay, and I'll give you a few tips if you're trying this, but it's not for the fainted heart I Watched a video from Anna Mason and she has an online watercolor school and it is fabulous She is amazing and she's the one that put a video up that taught me this and I was just absolutely blown away I'll link you to it at the end of this video and She talked about how to keep the edges wet So with watercolor as soon as you let one edge dry It's gonna have a little hard edge there and you want to keep working it and keep that edge the leading edge wet Which means you're kind of working in multiple places at the same time. I stopped the blue I didn't finish that one side over on the far left end as you're looking at it now Because I wanted to continue keeping this other area wet that little section I could fill in later so I'm trying to just push the paint around and Keep my brush moving quickly enough and keep all of those edges wet at the same time So you can see me working on all different directions at once It may be easier to try to find something where you have the background painted in between Some more spaces where there's things like these leaves to break it up I I'm not sure what possessed me to try this, but it was difficult Came out really beautiful But it was challenging to try to get this whole background to look pretty much the same There's a few spots that were a little darker, but it did set off these flowers nicely and I was able to Make them pop a little bit more because the only white in the painting now is the white on those flowers But I realized I had to go over with a second coat because part of the blue had been darker This top section was lighter So I put on another glaze of the blue to try to even it all out This is one of those things you could noodle with forever and drive yourself crazy with so it's not for the fainted heart But I think the effect is still quite beautiful So now I'm going to add a little bit more detail to the rest of the painting These are the leaves so I went in with that a little bit darker of the green So I mixed a slightly darker green out of the same colors And I'm just adding a little detail on the lower side of the leaves because that's going to give them a little depth But not so much that I end up with all the focus going to them The focus is still going to be on the flowers And add this down to the bottom section as well And I'm just using really simple strokes along the same direction as the lines of the stamp That already gave me that guidance The stamp lines did not really disappear like I had thought they might I know a lot of people use distress inks when they're stamping images that are going to be used with watercolor because it disappears And I haven't found that to be the case here. So my my lines are still there But now I'm going to go in and add more detail and depth into my flowers And I'm going to start with a dark color And just really put it in there clean off the brush And then go in alongside the edge of it And just push that color around with my dry brush as soon as I feel like I'm getting too much paint moving I'll clean the brush off again So that I don't put more paint on and the dry brush that thirsty brush will just pick up some of that color and start to move it around And I just would squint at the painting as I was working and see okay Where are the areas that I need more depth? And if you squint at it right now you can see that flower at the bottom looks really rich and has lots of shadows in it The one at the top not so much And that's a a good test with whatever medium you're coloring with Squint at it and see what you see If there are areas that fully disappear You'll be able to tell where you need to add more depth and more contrast to make it really pop So here's the finished card And I just absolutely love how it came out. It is totally fabulous. The die is also a die from ellen hudson in this new release The totally is die cut out of a piece of vellum so that it sticks up off of The little piece of vellum that little flag banner thing that I made And the fabulous is die cut out of black shimmery card stock I blew down so Here's a couple other videos including that one that I told you about that I made the chart And then the Anna Mason video about the background as well as another of my dango smith videos Thank you so much for joining me and really appreciate it Be sure to click on my link down below to get to the blog hop and see lots more ideas with this release Julie ever sold it an amazing job on all the designs Click the subscribe button if you have not yet and I will talk to you guys later Have a great day.
