From the heart of the jungle comes a savage cry of victory. This is Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. From the black core of dark Africa, land of enchantment, mystery and violence, comes one of the most colorful figures of all time, transcribed from the immortal pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan, the bronzed white sun of the jungle. And now in the very words of Mr. Burroughs, the story, death has small wings. Tarzan had been spear-fishing near his cabin. When from the lagoon's babbling inlet came the roar of an animal and a girl's frantic scream. Tarzan clambered up the lagoon's banks, scrambled over rocks and then streaked to the small inlet. There a melt crocodile was about to close its hideous jaws on a scantily-clad young white girl. Tarzan's spear catapulted downward with tremendous force. The crocodile leaped high into the air, its tail lashing furiously. But it was only the last frantic spasm of death. He clawed at both. There isn't much left of the bathing suit. There wasn't much of it to begin with. It's a bikini bathing suit. Do you like it? Where is the safari you were traveling with this morning? How did you know about our safari? I caught the scent of white men many hours ago. I followed it until I discovered your camp and made up my mind that the men in your party did not come here to start trouble. But I might need to start some. I've never seen a man like you before. You didn't tell me what had become of your safari. Why did you leave it? I wanted a swim and father got stuffy and impossible, so I just sneaked off when no one was looking. They'll come back for me when they find I'm missing. If I hadn't been fishing here, they might have returned to find nothing left of you, but the fragments of your bathing suit. I doubt that Gimla would have eaten that. You know, you're cute. Do you live near here? The entire jungle is my home. I am Tarzan. Some call me the Lord of the Jungle. I'm Gail Stevens, and I haven't got a title. But I'm open to suggestion.  A Lord's wife is called a lady, and it's plain that you will never be called that.  I'll...  I'll teach you to call me names. Stop it. Never try to strike me again.   No, I won't. And I'll have to put you over my shoulder and find the trail your safari's taken. You wouldn't dare force it. I'll put you down when I've reached your camp and turned you over to your father. Together with a recommendation for a good spanking. I originally planned this trip so I could get away from Gail for a little while, but her plane was waiting for me when I reached Mombasa. She's too much for me to handle. Always has been. Is your wife no control over her either? My wife died when Gail was a baby. I guess that's why she's spoiled. Oh, I suppose now I'll have to wait hours until she gets dressed to perform it and push on. The terrific heat of this part of the jungle makes traveling by day almost impossible. You would do well to camp here and then resume your journey later by torchlight. Our headman suggested traveling by night, but Gail wouldn't hear it.  I don't let her. She just, uh, well, there's no sense trying to cross Gail. Oh, I've got enough troubles without that. Business worries, my digestion. I do not believe in spanking children, but if Gail were my daughter, I might make an exception in her case. I tried it once, and she was three. She bit my hand. Anyone who can spank Gail will win my admiration and my respect, as well as my pity. Hi, Dad. On the change. How do you like the way I look now, jungle lord? A white riding outfit is hardly suitable for the jungle.  Come on, Dad. Teleport us. We're ready to start again. We're ready to start, Ming. And you'd better tell him to move faster or we'll never get to call her Danny. To call her Danny? But you mustn't go there. Oh, why don't you mind your own business? Well, this is my business, Fray. I've decided to travel with you until you've passed beyond the jungle. Oh, maybe my time's a beginning to work. To me, you're only a spoiled child, but I have determined that your safari is too small for a trek through the jungle. At best, this is no land for a white woman. Oh, see, you admit it. I'm a woman. Maybe by the time we've reached call her Danny, you'll realize... Call her Danny is in the heart of the doodoo country. The doodoo country? Sounds cute. Doodoo. It is the native's word for the tsetse fly whose sting causes sleeping sickness. I'm not afraid of a few tiny flies. Perhaps you have not the intelligence to be afraid of anything. A few tiny flies. In the land near call her Danny, the natives say that death has small wings. In just a moment, we shall return to our story of Tarzan. Day after day, the small safari cut its way deep into the jungle, ever in the direction of call her Danny in the doodoo country. And as they approached this land of the living dead, the native porters began to desert the party, scurrying into the tangled undergrowth, as though they had already seen the specter of the Grim Reaper. Tell me, Gail, what makes you so determined to reach call her Danny? Why did you choose it as your destination in the first place? Because the man at the travel station in Mombasa said it was the one place we mustn't go. And the moment he said it, I knew what Gail's reaction would be. He was a funny little man who looked all frightened and mysterious when he spoke about it. He called call her Danny the forbidden city. Why, I'd rather die than pass up something like that. Many people have died for having gone to call her Danny.  I know it's just a cover up. A cover up for what? I figured out that call her Danny must be one of those places where they hold all those weird native rights. The ones white people aren't supposed to see.  I will tell you what call her Danny is. It's a miserable collection of earthen huts. Each one seething with wretched natives who've been torn from the bosom of their families by the dread disease. Oh, you're just trying to scare me. Perhaps the sight of them may make you realize that the world doesn't begin and end with your own selfish being. Oh, no, Tarzan. You'll see hundreds of wretched blacks who are nearer to death in the life, desolate humans who merely wait for the gentle hand of death to release them from their suffering.  My, don't believe me. You haven't the sense to recognize the truth.  What? You can't talk to me that way. Why, Gil? When we first met, I told you never to strike me again. That was just a playful slap. She didn't mean it. Oh, yes, I did. Man, I'm...  Let me go.  Dad! Tarzan, perhaps. What do you think you're going to do? I'm going to give you the spanking you've had coming for a long, long time. No, Dad. Because this hurts me more than it does you. I'm getting very tired. Perhaps if we could stop for a little while... You're not tired, Mr. Stevens. You're afraid Gil's fallen too far behind. Yes, I am worried about her. She's in no danger. I can sense the coming of enemies. Please stop and wait for Gil. Please, Tarzan. All right. Bass! Bass! Oh, she's trying very hard. She hasn't complained about the hardships for several days now. She's learning. She's only a child. With the body of a woman, a dangerous combination. Oh, yes, I guess so. Well, perhaps by the time we get back to the States, I wonder what's happening there. If only I could get my hands on the current stock market quotations. You're worrying about the stock market when we're drawing close to a land from which we may not return? But I can't help it. That's all I've thought about for years. Perhaps this trip may teach you something, too, Mr. Stevens. You may discover that these stock market returns are not so important. Take a gale? But right under that tree. We're ready to start again. And we're merely waiting for you to catch up with us. All right. If you'll just wait a second until I take these heavy boots off. No, no, no. Your mosquito boots will remain on. You have to keep your shirt buttoned to the neck, and at no time must you permit any part of your body to be exposed. No, Bikini bathing suit, eh? But what are you doing, Tarzan? Breaking off a few palm fronds. From this point, we will walk single fire. Gale, you go first. Mr. Stevens, you follow? And if you see any large brownish flies land on Gale, use the front to chase them away. I shall walk behind you and do likewise. But who'll chase them off you? I shall try to be wary and whisk them off before they have a chance to bite. But we've been inoculated, and you... Oh, there's no sure inoculation against sleeping sickness. And I'm in better physical condition than any civilized man. Well, we'd better be moving along. Yes, if we keep on at the pace we've been making by tonight, we shall reach the land of the doodoo. Darkness had already painted the village of Kolhadene in somber tones by the time the white travelers had reached there. Before them, stretched endless irregular rows of huts made of hard-baked clay. From every doorway, frightened eyes peered out of them. Mangy-looking dogs sniffed at their heels, and ill-fed goats bleated at them from behind piles of unsightly rubble. A few humans, if they could be called that, leaned against broken fences and watched the advance of the strangers as they made their way toward what looked like the principal building of the Death Colony. Well, Gale, are you satisfied now that I told the truth about Kolhadene? It's very interesting. I'm glad we reached here. Why, the people are nothing but skin and bones. They look supercular. Look, one of them's coming toward us from the big building. Oh, yes. He looks healthier than the others. Jumbo, stranger. Jumbo, I am Tarzan, who comes from the Punya country. And this is Mr. Stevens and his daughter Gale from the land across the seas. And I am Dr. Kurusa.  Why, you look like a... A jungle savage? I am, but I left my people for many years. I studied medicine in the white man's country and have returned here to help them. Why have you come to our land? Well, we'd like to help, too. We came for various reasons, Dr. Kurusa, the young lady because of childish curiosity. Mr. Stevens, because he is too weak to deny his daughter her slightest whim, and I, because of a perhaps mistaken idea that I might teach this spoiled child a lesson. You have chosen a bad time. The season is both hot and moist, and despite everything I've tried to do, the setsi flies are multiplying alarmingly. Oh, look at that tiny child. Almost completely wasted away. She is but one of many. I suggest that you do not remain here more than a few moments. The elephant path leading north from here... I am afraid it's quite impossible to continue traveling tonight. Mr. Stevens is exhausted. Gale has only now begun to see the things I hope will make her grow into a woman. And I have not closed my eyes for many nights. Well, I'll give you my own hut. It's reasonably clean, and there are a few pieces of mosquito netting about, but you're taking a great risk. Tarzan isn't afraid of risk. He's the lord of the jungle. You're very kind, Dr. Kurusa. We'll take advantage of your offer, and in the morning we'll move on. I'll show you to the hut. You're welcome to it for the one night. I hope it will not prove one night too many. All right, Gale. This isn't so bad. I still think you ought to have one of these pieces of mosquito netting, Tarzan. We have clothing to protect us. Try to get some sleep, Mr. Stevens. We must start early in the morning. Well, all right then. Good night, Gale. Night, Tarzan. Good night. Something bit me. I don't know what. There, on the ground, beside you, a large brown fly. What setsy fly? Gale, get that native doctor. That doctor. What's his name? Maybe he can... No, there's no sense in getting excited. Many of the flies are not infectious. How long does it take to... I mean, if it wasn't infectious, fly, how long does it take? I don't know. Some say the disease strikes at once. Others claim you have it for days before you... before you... Tarzan, what's wrong? You look so strange. My head, everything's beginning to whirl. I guess... I guess it was an infected fly. Maybe I bet it... In just a moment, the very strange conclusion of our story, death has small wings. Tarzan could feel consciousness draining from him. He struck his head. And yet, although he could neither move nor speak, there was no black pit of unconsciousness, but instead a sort of twilight grave in which he could see and hear Gale's terror. You've got to save him, doctor. Mr. Stevens' queerless concern. He's our only chance. And the practiced examination of the negro doctor. Suddenly Gale and Mr. Stevens dissolved in a purple mist. Now the hut was filled with burly natives and Tarzan could feel them lifting his body from the ground. He was being carried through the village on the shoulders. Only now he couldn't see. The gray of his mind had turned to sable blackness. They'd stopped carrying him. They'd put him down someplace and gone away. It was getting lighter now. Day was breaking and Tarzan was feeling better. He was feeling a lot better. He opened his eyes and looked up into a face that was familiar and yet strange. Who are you? Now, now. You've been sick. Must not waste your strength an idle question. You, you look like Dr. Carl Rosa, the native doctor. But your skin is white. You see those mountains in the distance? Mountains? They're called a denny? Yes, I, I, I do see them. What color would you say a door on their peaks? Color? I'd call it a sort of rosy pink. Not orange? Yes, it might be described as orange. And yet some people might call it red or yellow or even golden. You see, my friend, color is only in the eyes of the observer. Here we do not call a man black nor white, brown nor yellow. We're all one in this land. In this land? Where have they brought me? It is not for me to explain matters. Even now the high one awaits our coming. The high one? The chief of this land? Your ruler? We have no ruler. We need none. Will you follow me along this path? Yes, of course. You walk without difficulty? Seems strange, but I've never felt stronger nor healthier. And this is a strange path, like one through my beloved jungle, and yet the rocks do not hurt the feet and the bushes have no thorns. There it is so. Am, am I a prisoner here? No more than other fish prisoners in their stream over there. Look at them, hundreds of them leaping over the rocks. Now if I had my spear, I could, we do not kill in this land. Food is provided without the need to kill it. Sounds ridiculous, perhaps, but tell me, have I died? Is this the land of spirits? Ah, here comes the high one. He's coming to welcome you. It's Mr. Stevens. Mr. Stevens dressed in a long robe and with a white beard, this is the strangest thing I've ever... Welcome to our land, man of the jungle. You speak as though I were a stranger to you, as though we hadn't spent the last few weeks together. Indeed, we have spent countless centuries together. For are we not both men and thus brothers? This is crazy. I must be delirious. Ah, you speak thus. Because always in the past when you entered a strange land, you were surrounded by unfriendly people who held spears at your back and threatened you with knives and other implements of war. Is that not so? Yes, I guess that's what I was thinking. Perhaps the delirium exists in those lands. But come, you are hungry, and we have food prepared for you. The dining hall is but a few steps away if you'll come with us. I've never seen such a beautiful place. The marble columns, the golden ceiling. Ah, you see, High One, he's learning already. In his eyes, the columns are of marble and the ceiling of gold. Daughter, bring food for the hungry traveler. Even now, Father. Gale, you are Gale? My name is Abigail. It is a Hebrew name. I have never been called Gale, though a few souls have sometimes called me Abbey in jest. You have never been called Gale? No, I have not. It's fantastic. You look somewhat different in your long robes, look unaccustomed, but I would have sworn you- I should place the food on this low table and you can sit on this brocaded cushion. You will find it most comfortable. When you have refreshed yourself with food and drink, we will talk again. Peace be with you. I too will leave you now, I guess, so that you may feast undisturbed. If you wish anything more, summon me by clapping your hands. No, no, don't go, please. I want to talk to you. I shall be happy to stay if you desire my presence. Here, I shall sit beside you on this other cushion. There. You once vowed to get eaten with me, Gale. Is this crazy world I found myself in part of your scheme? I have never seen you before this day. My name is Abigail, not Gale, and vengeance is unknown in this land of ours. But why do you have troubled thoughts? Do you not like our country? Oh, it is beautiful, but somehow strange and unreal. The way the birds fly, blithely in and out of the windows of this palace, the manner in which the small beasts of the forest peer in without fear of man. They have no need to fear us, nor have you any cause for fear. You keep watching me so strangely, and yet my only desire is to serve you. That's what I can understand. Your desire to be helpful for the Gale, you resemble strangely thought only of herself. A girl who thought only of herself? Oh, but that was in another land. And your father, in that other world, he was weak and spineless. Here, he's a tower of strength who's called the High One. What is the secret of it all? Our only secret, if we have one, is that here we know not the meaning of fear. And without fear, there is no evil. Look behind you. A panther? I have no fear. And I have no knife, but I will battle him with my bare hands as I have many times before. Sit down, jungle man, for the panther is as gentle as a kitten. What? He's fawning against you like a household pet. Of course. He wants to be petted. There you are. Now run along, Primus. Get our guests more food. I don't know what this land is all about, Abigail, or how I got here, but perhaps this is the place I've hunted for all my life. The dominion of peace I was never able to find in the jungles or in the cities of the world. I hoped you would say that, for if you accept our land, it will accept you. I will open my heart to you and do your bidding always. You are my beloved daughter, Noble Tarzan. I am afraid you will not think me noble, nor grateful for your acts of kindness to me. One man cannot judge another. What is it, Tarzan? He wants to leave our land. Well, he has not yet taken our vow. It's hard to explain High One. When I first came, I thought this was the paradise I had always longed for. And it is not. We have failed in some way. Ah, the failure is in me. I am unready for a land in which there are no wars, no angry words, no raging elements, a country that knows no weapons, whose animals are all peaceful as doves. I cannot hunt, nor is there any need to grow food, for it springs up in profusion without care. There's no need to build a shelter, for it never rains, no snows. There is no need to do anything.  I hate to call it that, and yet I am a man of the jungle, used to fighting for survival, used to matching my wits against others. This land is too peaceful for the lord of the jungle. I am unhappy here.   Abigail, perhaps more than the others. I will. I will miss you, Tarzan. Perhaps you will return, my daughter. Tarzan, never before have we given anyone the opportunity to taste of our fruit, to reject it, and then to return. But to you, the opportunity shall be given. What do you mean?  When you drink of it, you will be returned to the world you left. It sounds like some native voodoo. Perhaps it is. Now behold this second vial containing an amber liquid. Hold it firmly in your right hand, guard it, treasure it. Should you find your old world displeasing now that you have tasted ours, drink the contents of the second vial, and you shall be returned here. Take them. Thank you. You are leaving. I'm sorry. I must drink the contents of the first vial, but I will guard the other carefully. If your mind is made up, then drink. I shall. Goodbye, Tarzan. He's coming too, Mr. Stevens. He is indeed. At last. I was afraid for a while his death would be on my soul. I insisted on coming here to call her, Denny. The color is coming back to his face, Dr. Colrusa. What's happened? Hi, one. Abigail? I don't know what you're talking about, but you've certainly given us a scare. You've been unconscious for weeks. And Gail and I thought you were a goner. But now you've passed the crisis. I think you'll be all right. The liquid in the vial worked. I gave you no liquid. I've been giving you liberal doses of Bayer 205. It's frequently effective when you catch the disease in its early stage. Have I been here all the time? What are you talking about? Of course you've been here. Where else would you be? I guess everything I thought was happening occurred only in my feverish mind. You did mumble constantly as though your mind was filled with many strange delirious thoughts. But you've had two good nurses, Gail and Mr. Stevens. I think they've learned a few things while you've been unconscious. I have learned, Tarzan. Hey, we both have. Tarzan, what in the world are you clutching in your right hand? What? I don't know. I'm not sure. Well, open it. Let's see.  What in the world did you get? No, Gail. I'll give it back. Gail, what are you doing with it? You broke it. The liquid's gone. Of course it is. I don't know what it is or where you got it, but we have to watch what you eat and drink very carefully. You've taught us a great lesson, and it's up to us to nurse you back to health. Yeah, that's right.  And I've decided that whatever money I have will be devoted to advancing the cure of tropical diseases. We can't afford to lose our first patient. Well, at least I'm glad I came back. It's nice to know that miracles can happen in this world, too. We'd like you to remain with us for another few moments so that we may tell you about our next exciting story of Tarzan. Often have men asked the origin of Tarzan's courage. How can a man steal his nerve against the terrors of the jungle?  Ruka, a native youth who knows he's to be poisoned before the next moon is passed, looks for a source of courage, and he finds it in Tarzan's magic amulet. Tarzan, a transcribed creation of the famous Edgar Rice Burroughs, is produced by Walter White Jr., prepared for radio by Bud Lesser, with original music by Albert Glasser. This is a Commodore production.

Welcome to Monet Café. I'm artist Susan Jenkins and I'm bringing you a product review video of some pastels that are quite affordable, great for the beginner artist. I'm also going to be doing some painting demonstrations and if you haven't subscribed to this channel I really hope you will. We have a lot of fun and a lot of learning.  All of these three chicken paintings, the reason they're chicken paintings is because it's farm theme in our Monet Café art group on Facebook but all of these chicken paintings were done with this set exclusively but they work great for florals and landscapes as well. So in this demonstration you will see me creating three paintings using only Arteza pastels and I'll be sharing a lot about this product with you. Now the painting process will be sped up but for my patrons you will have the real-time footage to follow along in this tutorial. I've actually already uploaded it for my patrons on my Patreon page. If you don't know what that is let me quickly tell you. It's a place where you can support this channel for $5 a month. It's patreon.com slash Susan Jenkins. You support the Monet Café channel so I keep bringing free videos but you get lots of extra content and I love that I get to chat with you guys and see your work that you post in our homework album. So check that out. There will be a link at the end of this video if you would like to become a patron. What I wanted to do is share with you that I recently got a set of Arteza pastels. Now this is a set of 72 pastels. Arteza sent them to me to do a product review and I'll be talking more about them as I paint. One of the advantages is of course they're less expensive. For 72 pastels, a decent size stick, they're only about 40, 43, 45 dollars. This is actually on Amazon. I have them on my Amazon shop but from the Arteza site they're about 43, 44 dollars and I'm using once again the toned gray paper that I've been using for many of the past farm scene or farm themed paintings I've been doing. You know I love this because of its practicality and affordability. Look at this an 11 by 14, 24 sheet pad or notebook is only it's less than $10. In continuing with our farm theme for the month of July I found a lot of great reference images of chickens on pixabay.com. They have some great copyright free images so I'll be choosing a few of these images to do some pastel sketching which is a great way to loosen up, have some fun and not take art so seriously sometimes. So join me as I paint this rooster and I'm going to call him Clock Norris because he looked kind of tough and pretty cool. So what I'm going to be doing this is the only pastel right here that I'm using for this other than the Arteza. Everything will be Arteza the 72 set except for this. This is a Prismacolor new pastel. You know I use these a lot for sketching. They're harder. This one is the spruce blue and it's just a nice little hard pastel to do some sketching. And even though I work a lot on sanded pastel papers if you've been painting with pastels very long you know a lot of pastel artists prefer sanded papers. They're literally a little bit like sandpaper. They hold a lot of layers but I for the month of July have been using almost exclusively this gray tones Strathmore paper and I really love bringing options to beginner pastel artists that are more affordable. So yes you can work on unsanded surfaces and then as you find out if you like this pastel painting process or not you can gradually try some sanded surfaces if you like. Actually Dakota Pastels Dakota pastels dot com has some nice sampler sets of pastels and papers so you can try a few different types to see what you like. Now once again not only is the paper inexpensive but these pastels are very affordable. Quality soft pastels can get expensive in the hundreds for a set of pastels and sometimes it's hard just to dish that out early on in your pastel journey. So a set like this could be a good option for you and then as you grow and see if you really like this medium then you could gradually work your way up to some of the more expensive brands. One thing I would like to mention early on here is to not buy the pastel sets that you typically find at craft stores. I'm talking about stores like in the U.S. anyway like Michaels, Joann's, Hobby Lobby. Occasionally they can have some of the better quality pastel sets available but often they have like their store brand. I know one particular brand is called Reeves or EVES and some of these brands are really going to frustrate you. They do not have a lot of pigment in them and that leads me to a good segue as to why are some of the better pastels more expensive. Well the reason you get such vibrant color and great application with the more expensive brands is they are almost all pigment. I mean the color, the actual color, the pigment. It has very little binder what holds it together. That's why they're a little more crumbly. That's why they're soft. They're considered soft pastels so you're getting almost pure pigment applied to your surface and since the pigment is more expensive than the binder that's why the better brands are more expensive. Now when you get to the cheaper pastels or less expensive pastels they have more binder in them typically less color. Now pastels like this, the Arteza, I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little bit afraid that they were going to be like some of those store brand or craft store brand pastels and I found they applied better than I anticipated. So I I'm definitely going to use them. I think one application I will use them in probably quite a lot is for under paintings. Often it's good to use a harder pastel for an under painting and they had some nice bold colors. Often I like to when I say under painting it means to tone your surface either solid color or with a kind of an impressionistic beginning prior to starting your painting and I actually already used these as an under painting and it worked great. And with respect to hardness to softness level if I had a scale or a gauge some of the most expensive soft pastels are very very soft. Once again almost pure pigment. There are some on the other end of the soft pastel. They're all called soft pastels but on that range the harder ones would be like that new pastel. They're made by Prismacolor like the one I just did the initial sketch in. They are harder. I would say this Arteza is hard to medium similar to a Rembrandt pastel. And let me mention Dakota Pastels once again. They have a nice chart of pastels from softness to hardness. You can see where the Rembrandt is right there. That's kind of where I would put these Arteza pastels. Alright here is Clark Norris in all of his glory. And now let me move on to another painting of a sweet mama hen with some of her little baby chicks. In the video of these chicken paintings with the Arteza pastel set I mentioned to my patrons about some of the advantages of using one set of pastels or limiting yourself to a certain grouping of pastels. And what that does is it forces you to paint by value which means the lightness or darkness rather than color. Now let me try to talk about that a little bit while I paint. So once again I'm bringing up an advantage of using this set of Arteza pastels because you'll only have these 72 pastels and you will have to get creative with color if you don't have the color that's in the reference photo. As an example in this particular painting of the hen and her chicks I didn't have some of the rich darker burgundies that were in the reference photo or some of the particular colors in the shadows. So what I did is I grabbed a color that was a similar value or close to it or darkness. So that's why I grabbed this magenta color. And I know too that even though I'm limited with how much I can layer on an unsanded surface I still have some layering ability. So it looks a bit crazy that I'm using magenta and purple as my initial layer for this hen. But I've learned that pastels do indeed mix on the surface to get new color combinations. That's a video that I want to be doing pretty soon. We often think that with pastels you can't do any color mixing like oil and acrylic and watercolor. Well we can't mix them like you know how you can combine colors blue and yellow to get green as in watercolor painting. But they do combine to make new color combinations on the surface. So even though I'm laying down this purple and this dark I'm going to layer on top of it with some of the rusty colors and some of the lighter colors of the feathers on top. And that little shadowy color of the purple and magenta will show through. Now I'm also beginning this I believe it's called the comb cox comb of the hen or the rooster on top. And I'm laying down cooler red which would be like a pink. But I later will add some more of the warmer reds on top of that. So I'm definitely getting layering with these pastels even on this unsanded surface. Now I'm adding some of the these would be called local colors meaning the color that's in the reference photo. That's the definition of local color. The color that you see the color that's actually there as opposed to getting creative with color and interpretive with color. So I've definitely been more interpretive with color and getting this purple down and even this pink. But I know that I'm going to layer on top of it and that's again one of the advantages of using a limited set of pastels. You can't just go to your larger set. Well a lot of you beginner artists don't even have a larger set of pastels. So once again it forces you to lean towards the correct value which is of utmost importance in good art. Now keep that in mind. As I paint I'm going to add a little bit of music. I'm going to be back right at the end of this one when we get to painting the little chicks. But as I paint just watch how I use this layering process and how using color creatively can often lead towards a more fun interesting and creative overall painting. This song is kind of bluesy and fun so enjoy and I'll be back soon. In the reference photo the chick was not as fluffy as I would have liked him or her to be. So I just kind of interpreted it myself and made it more of a cute little fluff ball of a chick and then kind of gave the same shape and appearance to the background chicks. And I would say this all of these paintings lean more towards the whimsical end of the painting spectrum which is fun. One of the greatest things I think you can do as an artist is learn to enjoy the journey early on. We get so critical of ourselves and we compare ourselves to other artists so much that it steals our joy and it steals the fun and the creativity and I think it actually steals your ability because you're just not in the right attitude to paint. So often think of it like when you were a kid and you grabbed coloring book and grabbed some markers or crayons or whatever. Do you remember I do painting for the joy of it just having fun now of course our audience back then was showing our moms our dads our sisters our brothers and you know that was always kind of neat. But now often instead of painting for the joy of it and of course for the learning aspect we hold this measurement scale on ourselves of how good we're supposed to be as compared with other people. So I advise don't do that.  So that's what sometimes some of these little whimsical paintings do ones that are faster. All of these I know the rooster one took less than 20 minutes. This one probably took a little longer than that. And the last one that you'll see in a minute was was pretty fast to it took a little longer because there are like five or six chickens in it. So I had to get my sketch right on that. But anyway have fun. And now I think you're seeing how these artesia pastels work and they really are getting some good color down and a decent amount of layering even on unsanded paper. Let me mention here too that I typically take all of my labels off before I use my pastels. I take them off and if they're full sticks I break them or if they're round pastels I use a cigar cutter. It works great to cut my pastels in half. And the reason I do this is they're more manageable as smaller sticks than large sticks. But this pastel worked great using the corners and then using kind of the little blunt edge. Now you can really see the layering of those feathers on the Mama Hen and how just those loose gestural strokes really give the indication of feathers. Having directional strokes and varying your strokes really makes a difference in pastel painting or any painting for that matter. So of course I had to lay down some dark to put some hay on top of it and this one was fun. I had a good time with it. I really liked that Mama and her little baby. I was thinking I would call this Mama's favorite even though as a Mama I do not have any favorites with my kids. I love them all the same and it is more than words can describe. All right here's Mama Hen with her babies. Now here's this crazy motley crew. Oh it's five chickens. Okay so once again just getting a sketch in is important when you're dealing with people or animals things like that. You want to get it fairly accurate but again these are whimsical in nature so if some things are a little bit exaggerated it's okay. But I had fun with these guys. I loved this one on the end here. He looked like he was leaning back at the other ones and going what's up with you guys. So enjoy this one. Again notice the layering that I do with these Arteza pastels and enjoy this crazy group of chickens. Now wasn't that fun? So I would have to say I give a thumbs up to Arteza pastels as a great set for beginners. Very affordable and believe it or not I have another chicken painting coming. This one also on the Strathmore gray tones paper with various other pastels. I have another barn painting coming too. I'm running out of month to edit and share all of this farm themed artwork. Alright guys hope you enjoyed. Hope you learned something. Please subscribe if you haven't. Like this video. Make a comment. It really does help with the success of this video on YouTube. Alright guys as always happy painting!


An explosion derailed a freight train for the second day in a row on a Russian region bordering Ukraine on May 2, sending both the locomotive and some cars off the tracks, authorities said. The incident occurred in the western Bryansk region, which borders both Ukraine and Belarus. Russian officials say pro-Ukrainian sabotage groups have made multiple attacks there since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops in Ukraine in February 2022. An unidentified explosive device went off near the Snezetskia railway station. There were no casualties, Bryansk regional governor Alexander Boggames wrote on Telegram. As a result of the incident, a locomotive and several wagons of a freight train derailed, he added, without saying who was responsible. TASS news agency, citing law enforcement agencies, said firefighters were working at the scene and two recovery trains had been dispatched to the area. Several prosecutors had begun an investigation into the derailment it added.


It's now time for Member Statements, and I recognize the Member for London Fanshop. Thank you, Speaker. When the world changed this year, the people in my community rose to the occasion in more ways than one. Those who could stayed home, stayed apart, and wore masks. And they are giving back to their communities. The Argal and Hamilton Road BIAs worked hand-in-hand with our valuable small business to support them through these incredibly trying times. Everyone did their part to keep each other safe. And I also want to highlight the good work of our two local heroes. Soon after settling in London, Aman Salim started volunteering with the London Newsom Mosque. During the pandemic, as the situation worsened for many less privileged families, Aman and her volunteers at the Caring Canadian Society put together a COVID relief campaign and started distributing supplies. Aman has spent close to 300 hours in the last six months with CCS providing door-to-door food hampers to hundreds of families and delivering thousands of PPE kits to shelters in London. Yodette Habitimarium-Kedani is currently a working as a PSW in London long-term care facility. During COVID, when family visits were restricted, the anxiety of not being able to meet their families led to a depression and even aggression amongst residents. Yodette and her colleagues, despite being short staff, went above and beyond their expected duties to take care of the personal and psychological needs of the residents at times working shifts over time to accommodate their needs. On behalf of my community, thank you to our local BIAs and Aman and Yodette for all the work that you do to lift our spirits up during this very trying times. Thank you very much. Member statements? The Member for Barry Innisville. Thank you, Speaker. I want to thank all the small businesses that have made the necessary sacrifices and taken the right steps to keep our community safe. Our small businesses are our neighbors. They employ our neighbors. It has not been an easy time for them, but they retooled, they pivoted, and they did what was needed to do to keep their customers safe while providing their services. As I visited many local businesses, I saw firsthand how our Barry and Innisville businesses are keeping everyone safe and doing everything they can to help their employees and their customers. In fact, I even took Santa along with me to many local businesses as part of the Barry Chamber of Commerce Santa tour. And I wanted to emphasize during this tour that this holiday season, we cannot forget to shop local and help our neighbors and our friends who are working and started many of these small businesses in Barry Innisville. They are businesses and people who are there to help our community in need. They sponsor our sports teams and our local charities. Now it's time we show them support more than ever. These are people like Gina and Rohan, who just opened on the men massage therapy and wellness during COVID. It's like Tracy and Renee for creative bean, where Renee overcame contacting COVID. It's like Deb and Ralph at Fork and Plate, John and Lynn at creative bean, Deb at Matt Hatter, Shalu and her family at Dose to Eats, Jennifer Hallidayhouse, Stephanie at Discount Granite, MJ at The One, Face and Body Spa, Aksana and Sergey at Kaleidoscope, Don Mucci at Life Squad, Olu and Titi, who also opened nine rounds and had a baby during COVID. I want to thank them and have a Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah and thank you to all our frontline workers for keeping us safe. Thank you very much. Member Statements, the member for Toronto, Danforth. Thank you Speaker. Speaker Ontario is looking at big fare hikes and deep service cuts for public transit in the year to come. Using fare box revenue and dropping revenue from the gas tax allocation threatened to damage our public transit systems across the province. Speaker, we can't let this happen. Large numbers of essential workers depend on transit to get to work. It's already risky, but more packed buses can only mean increased transmission of COVID. We need to support transit to keep our economy rolling and to avoid increasing pollution if we force people to switch over to travel by car. Ontario has to step up and support our transit systems to help control the spread of the pandemic and to protect our environment. The Ontario Public Transit Association is calling for more financial support for transit. People will be hurt by fare hikes and service cuts. Ontario has to step up and defend this vital service. Thank you. Member Statements, the member for Eglinton Lawrence. Thank you Speaker. As we approach the holiday season, I know that many in my community and many across Ontario are anxious and eager to support our small local retail stores. They keep our main streets vibrant, interesting and attractive for visitors. And I for one am trying to buy every present that I am purchasing at local community stores. But this year, and especially for those areas in lockdown, like in Toronto where my riding is, it may not be obvious exactly how a shopper can get what they're looking for at local small stores. It's a question I have even asked myself. And here's what I learned. Many stores are open for curbside pickup or delivery, and they're eager to serve people by phone or online. So this weekend, I took the opportunity to look up some phone numbers of some of the local stores, and I checked into what they're doing. And I spoke with one creative ladies fashion retailer on Eglinton who sends out an email newsletter to those on her list with fashion items for sale. Customers can phone or email to order an item in their size or preferred colour, and she delivers what she calls fashion in a bag, or the customer picks it up. So it's great to see and it works, and Eglinton Lawrence has some great local retail stores. I want to ask everyone, let's support our local retail stores by shopping online. The owners are making it easier for us to do every day. Thank you. Thank you very much. Member statements, the member for Brampton East. Thank you, Speaker. Brampton is my home. It's where I'm raising my family. It's one of the most dynamic and diverse cities in this country, full of essential workers who keep our province moving. But Brampton has been under-serviced and underfunded for years by liberal and conservative governments. Now in the NDP, we have been raising the alarm on our city's healthcare crisis for years. The fact that our city of over 600,000 people has only one hospital that is overcrowded and underfunded. But this conservative government has done nothing to fix our healthcare crisis. Now we find ourselves in a pandemic. And Brampton is a COVID-19 hotspot because this conservative government, just like the liberals before them, don't care about Brampton. It's not an accident. Inaction has consequences. And this conservative government is going to have to answer for the fact that they didn't stand up for Brampton. When conservative and liberal governments refuse to act, Brampton suffers. For months now, the NDP has been calling for a 15-student class-sized cap in our schools during a pandemic. But Premier Ford has refused to act. The consequence? We have seen countless outbreaks of COVID-19 throughout schools in Brampton. Will the Premier be apologizing to Brampton for refusing to act? Will the Premier be apologizing to Brampton for putting our families at risk and refusing to listen to the experts? Brampton is at risk. Our families are at risk. And our community deserves better. We deserve action to protect our families. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you very much. Member Statements to Member for Guelph. Thank you, Speaker. Today is Giving Tuesday, the world's largest generosity day to support people in need. I want to highlight an important campaign in my writing, Guelph Gives. Their campaign this year is Think Local, encouraging people to support local nonprofits and local businesses. As the second wave of COVID hits the hardest during the most important month of the year for retail sales and fundraising campaigns, it has never been more important to support local businesses and organizations. Small businesses have experienced a dramatic decline in revenue in order to protect people from COVID. They deserve our support. Charities and nonprofits have also experienced a dramatic loss of revenue.  A survey in Guelph, Wellington concluded that 53% of organizations have experienced reduced revenue from fundraising. The Ontario Nonprofit Network estimates that one in five nonprofits might close their doors before the end of the year. Speaker, we cannot allow this to happen. So I encourage everyone to think local and to give generously today. And I encourage the government to step up with direct supports for local businesses and nonprofits. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you very much. Member Statements, the member for Peterborough, Coritha. Thank you, Speaker. Ashley Aik and the general manager for Coritha Food Chair approached me with an idea. Historically, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, there's been a drop-off in donations at our local food banks. But the demand for their services doesn't go away. Ashley's idea was the winter is coming food drive. And when Ashley comes and asks for help, there's only one answer you can give. So, of course, I was all in. We chose five gates for food drives in Havlock, Bridge North, Lakefield, Buckhorn, and Apsley, with all the proceeds going back to the food banks in each of those communities. I want to give a special shout out to the member from Thornhill and the member from Willowdale, who both helped me during the Bridge North food drive. We also had some other special volunteers who braved the cold with me. Warden J. Murray-Jones, Mayor Andy Mitchell, Deputy Mayor Sherry Senes, Councillor Jerry Herron, sorry, Jerry Herron, Councillor Donna Ballantyne, Mayor Jim Martin, Deputy Mayor and my uncle, Dave Giro, Mayor Carolyn Amiot, Deputy Mayor Jim Whalen, Councillor Colin McClellan, and of course, the store owners themselves, John LePleg, Shriek Patel, Ian Bledsoe, Janice York, and Jeff Sayer. In total, Mr. Speaker, our communities donated the equivalent of an astounding $37,900 worth of food. This will stock those food banks all the way through until sometime in January. Thank you very much. Members' statements, the Member for Kiwet Nong. Miigwets, Speaker, as we all know, the journey of economic recovery in Ontario is going to be a long one. Our communities across Kiwet Nong are very rich, but maybe not in dollars, but in resources, Mr. Speaker. Resources that are extremely important to the overall economy recovery of this province. Communities like Red Lake contribute so much to the economy of Ontario and Canada. Over nine years, they've contributed $3.2 billion to the economy. The money earned from the mining, forestry, and other resources need to stay in the north and benefit our communities. Funds are needed for local services and infrastructure and other community improvements. Municipalities, such as Red Lake and Pickle Lake, have shovel-ready projects that are waiting on approvals. I also heard that help is needed. In Solicott, municipal revenues are down from the airport, which is one of the main hubs of the north with the flying communities. So they will need more assistance in the long-term care than they are getting now. And near falls, they are concerned about lost revenues. They are looking for to expand their revenue streams through the use of crown land within municipal boundaries. This way, Mr. Speaker, they can generate revenue without looking for government support. Speaker, delaying the growth of the municipalities in Kiwetno slows the economic growth for all Ontario. Miigwetch. Member Statements, the Member for Milton. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the Christmas season now here, so too is the Tigerjeet Sings Foundation annual miracle on Main Street in Milton. In partnership with the Halton Regional Police, Miracle on Main is a great tradition in Milton and a tremendous way to get in the holiday spirit. Thankfully, through the leadership of Milton's own wrestling legends, Tigerjeet Singh Sr. and his son Tiger Ali Singh Jr., the annual Miracle on Main Street will continue to support children and families in our community. This year, in a show of true leadership, the Tigerjeet Singh Foundation will be donating $30,000 to local schools and will be donating another $30,000 in support of local restaurants in Milton, Mr. Speaker. I am grateful this important tradition will continue this year, especially during COVID-19. For the last 11 years, Miracle on Main Street has raised much needed funds through donations and sponsorships for families, local charities and schools, along with purchasing thousands of toys for kids at McMaster Children's Hospital and sick kids. I would like to thank everyone involved for making this successful each and every year. And I want to thank Tigerjeet Singh Sr. and Tiger Ali Singh Jr. for their leadership and commitment in helping our community every year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you very much. Member Statements. The member for York Center. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the month of November coming to an end yesterday, I'd like to call much needed attention to men's mental health. Excuse me. May I start over? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the month of November coming to an end yesterday, I'd like to call much needed attention to men's mental health. There are approximately 4,000 suicides a year in Canada. Many happen during this time of year. Four out of every five suicides are committed by men. This is a national tragedy. Mental health professionals attribute this to the fact that it's generally difficult for men to admit mental health challenges. Men are less likely to seek help from family or friends. Men are less likely to speak to a doctor. We may feel embarrassed. We may not know what to say. We may not know who to talk to or worse. Think that there is no one to talk to, that no one would understand. But guys, let's talk about this for a minute. The November Foundation conducted a survey that found that eight out of 10 men found it helpful to talk about having a hard time. That makes sense because we can't fix it unless we acknowledge that something isn't right.   It may be a family member that loves you, a friend that needs you, a support worker that cares about you. Tell them, give them an opportunity to tell you how much they love you. Give yourself a chance. Give others the chance to give you a chance because you are precious and we need you here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you very much. That concludes our member's statements for this morning.


We're working on Pam's LinkedIn profile and Pam, you were trying to edit one of your items in the experience section. So go ahead and show us, show us what you were trying to do here. I was adding. Okay. Communication. Whoops. Okay, great. Yeah. And then the company name. Yeah, but then where I ran into trouble, what kind of where is it now? No, no, I think, I think you scroll up and start typing in the company name. And I think that's where you ran into trouble. Start typing in. Oh, okay. I thought I was trying to put in the web address. I guess. Ring horse. Okay. So what you did, what you did in the past was create what's called a company page on LinkedIn. A million years. Yeah. So you created the company page. So that's why they bring it up. Now, if you don't want to link your company page to the profile, then, then once the company page pops up, you simply click in the white area anywhere else to not select it. You know, white, you know, above, above company name, just click in the white, there we go. So now you're not connect, you're not linking the two. Do you, did you mean to choose that click no. Got it. Okay. That's it. So that's how you not link the company name. And that's it. Yeah. And then you can ask for my. So, so nowhere I can put. No, you can't put a link anywhere. Okay. Well, that's good because it won't give me the wrong one. Well, it was easy. Thank you. Yeah, actually, one more thing you can actually scroll down you can you can add media down there. You can add a link. I'm sorry, you can add a link under the add media section to specific pages on your website. Well, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, there we go. That's how you do it. Thank you so much. Okay, I'll finish it later. And Julius is why not update the older page that company page. Sure. Yeah, you just have to. That's that'd be a separate conversation. But yeah, if you wanted to log into your company page not log in it's all part it's all connected to your company page. And then you can update it from there. It's just that for those of us who are, yeah, for those of us who are self employed people. It's awkward to have a company page on LinkedIn just always going to be one employee. And the, the, the, there are two benefits of having a company page on LinkedIn one is that it looks prettier on your profile with that cute logo. I don't know about that, but I know a lot of you care about little cute logo. So, so if you care about the cute logo, you need to link link the company page. Okay. I roll my eyes because whatever I have not noticed to be a significant or any, any worth my while, because the embarrassing thing I feel more embarrassed that people click on my cute logo and find my company page in one employee it's kind of awkward looking. It's not meant for a solopreneurs and self employed people. The second benefit of company page that you can start running sponsored content on LinkedIn, LinkedIn ads, and that might be something you want to look into but LinkedIn ads is five to 10 times more expensive than Facebook ads and Instagram ads, five to 10 times. The cost to reach the same number of people. Now, LinkedIn justifies this by saying well you get to reach CEOs you get to reach. Yeah, but how many of them actually clicked on LinkedIn ads. So, everybody knows that LinkedIn ads is really, really expensive and it's really hard not to crack it's hard, it's hard to do. I'm like if you're going to go into add dollars, you might as well spend that on Facebook and Instagram ads you're just going to get traction much faster than LinkedIn ads. But if you have a lot if you have so much money is coming out of your ears. Sure, go and play with LinkedIn ads and and try to reach the right kinds of people. I don't know that I had it was just paid. Yeah, I know that the whole the company page on LinkedIn is something that they have that they have tricked a lot of people into creating because years ago that's exactly right. A lot of people into creating it because, because it's a natural lead into running ads. So, I don't, I'm not upgrade. I don't need it. It's fine. I have what I got. Thank you.


Hello everyone, welcome to this CUBE Conversation here in Palo Alto, California. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. We're here at Theropassus CEO and co-founder, Sam Lee. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for joining us for the CUBE Conversation. Glad to be here. So Sam, you've started a company. You're in the compliance area. You got all kinds of new regulations out there these days.  I'm happy. HIPAA for healthcare. You got all kinds of data protection, compliances, data is the hottest topic right now and managing that data, securing that data is the number one problem people are trying to solve and not lose the innovation angle. Take a minute to explain what you guys do at Theropass. What do you guys mean, focus? Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I'm Sam, started Theropass about four years ago. It all came from a personal experience. I was running a fintech company in a short tech space before Theropass. And we're doing great. We're creating a great product. But then as soon as we hit real customer conversations, talking to customers and partners with consequences, they start asking about problem questions about our compliance posture. You have a information security policy. You have a SOC2 audit. And you answer those 400 questions in Excel, right?  We didn't have all those. So, you know, I started out and so, okay, let's bite the bullet. Let's get a SOC2 audit, which is one of the most popular compliance framework here in the States. And I thought it would be a six weeks process talk. Six months later, I still don't have the report. At the same time, like those information security best practices are very important, right? We want the world to be a better place and we want to take our data, our customers data seriously. So I want to build a informative compliance program. At the same time, five years ago, there was drastically lack of tools, software solutions, and good audit solutions for me to do that. So I then spent some time at Bay and Capital Ventures as at EIR. I like to joke that, you know, that is a good job for a job list MBA, I go there, I drink their coffee, their snacks and think about startup ideas.  Why is there not a TurboTax like or Carta like solution for information security compliance, which every technology company needs?  So started Thorough Pass back then and was known as Laika. We re-read it to Thorough Pass earlier this year to be really the one stop shop for IT compliance and privacy compliance for technology companies. And, you know, we created a TurboTax-like experience for companies to set up their compliance for the first time, accelerate their program build out, automatically collect and verify evidence, as well as demonstrating compliance to enterprise buyers or partners alike. You know, Sam, I love this story because, you know, the transition to cloud computing has accelerated the entrepreneurial opportunities you see startups all the time getting funded.  And the time clock, you mentioned six months and getting the report, but things can change too. Then you got to go back and do it again. So this idea of cloud native and agile development is kind of really where the pain point is too, not just for small companies, but even large companies to kind of have that framework of compliance. And this is a huge challenge. It's a service model. But it's got to be fast and agile.  Yeah. And I think, you know, really, as you said, the macro has pushed that towards where we are, right? There are more regulations around privacy and cybersecurity being passed in a country and as well as, you know, internationally. And there are more best practices that the industries, which traditionally are only, you know, being enforced upon large companies, are now trickling down to vendors of different sizes, right? That's also because like there are those high profile data breaches happening, which makes the regulator set up more rules, as well as pushing the largest enterprise to push down those requirements to all their vendors, which, you know, is a great trend for the industry. But at the same time, it is very hard to, you know, set up, maintain and demonstrate information security compliance, especially for cloud native internet companies. If you look at how this was traditionally done, there are a lot of manual process involved, right? How do you prove that you have all those security control set up? It involves a lot of screenshots, a lot of uploading static documents to auditors' share point. And that is not a great process. And they're- And all the questions too are all old. Do you have a virtual machine on bare metal? Like, what are you talking about? I'm on the cloud, like what are you talking about? All these old IT policies are archaic, right? They're not relevant. But I think the build side is a key value of being agility. But you brought up the idea of working together. We're in an API economy now and AppSec review teams need to be fast. And I think the growth for companies and doing business with other companies require this. Can you talk about how companies can do this with the right way? Because I see the growth being stunted. If you can't be compliant or have a framework, not only does your build team get kind of stunted or held back or dragged down, but your growth, operational growth could be hindered. Yeah. And I think that is actually one of the most common reasons why companies pick up compliance and purchase their own pass earlier in their journey is because that those requirements has trickled down to the youngest companies, right? And when compliance become a gross locker, that's when the sense of urgency really goes up, right? And also it is much cheaper to set up a robust and effective compliance program early on versus until you have hundreds of employees, then you have more people to train and more culture to change, right? So we like to partner with companies of different size and stages, but definitely a lot of our customers are younger companies, FinTech, Hal's Tech, SaaS company. They hold really sensitive data and they want to do the right thing. Our job is to make following compliance as simple as possible so that they can focus on what they do best, innovate in their field, without having to waste time on a lot of manual processes and like, you know, busy work, I like to call it with compliance and focus on the really strategic issues that really matters. Innovation not being dragged down by old school compliance, I love that. Take me through how it works. I love it. How do you inject this guidance, this expert guidance into the customer's journeys? Take us through an example, if you can, through that the component that you've done right for the day. Yeah, you are a brand new tech company, let's say in the AI space, right? And you're starting to sell to enterprise, whether it's financial institutions, healthcare systems or, you know, big retailers and they will start to ask questions like, can you show me your SOC2 report, right? Can you prove that you are taking our data seriously? That's usually a very common trigger for people to, you know, purchase a IT compliant solutions and start pursuing a information security audit such as SOC2 or, you know, ISO 27001 or high trust, the healthcare space. And then you will sign up for a thorough pass. It's very simple. It's very much like several texts, you know, for us living in the States, you know, you sign up for a thorough pass, you go through an onboarding process, you get paired with a team member on us which will help you throughout the process.  If you think about it, what the auditors need to see eventually is you have encryption turned on, you have multi-factor authentication turned on, right? It's all of those different metadata that we can automatically collect by integrating with the SaaS tools that you're already using. So we have a robust integration portfolio with, you know, the cloud service providers, JIRA, GitHub, like all those tools that matters in a compliance context. We ingest those data into thorough pass and we perform the validation directly on the platform. So that, you know, traditionally a auditor have to, you know, eyeball a screen shots or manually review a report in order to test out a control. That process is almost completely automated through the integrations with those systems as well as our auditor platforms so that the customers experience the entire process from setting up the compliance program to proving it to the auditor all the way to proving it to their enterprise buyers directly and completely on the thorough pass platform. Yeah, I love the TurboTax kind of reference. Obviously, QuickBooks is the other product that they sell the enterprises. I love the CARTA example. I mean, the folks watching that might not know what CARTA does. They're a company that does all the manual or the heavy lifting that was a manual process with involving stock who was stocking the company, stock options, cap tables, how companies capitalize, which is a grueling manual industry, right? It's like, and it also impacts a lot of the transactions, whether it's a more financing, if adventure financing or M&A deal or an acquisition, how they handle stock programs is automated. That's kind of the thing. We're really inspired by the business model of CARTA founder, Harry, as an engineering investor as well. What they do is they turn a otherwise very heavy manual once a year consulting heavy process, the foreign IA evaluation, into a delightful software driven experience. That's what we're doing here for information security audit. That's what we're doing here for SOC too, as well as all the other different frameworks that we support. The thing too about the CARTA that you like, I also will add that it makes you confident because they track everything. And now the worst thing about manual is who didn't file the right thing? Where's that paperwork? Where's that file? This is where it gets harder, right? So that delightful, but confident experience is critical. I get that for the startups. I think you'll run the table on DevOps teams and startups love the product. How about enterprises? Take me through, I'm an enterprise, I got existing stuff. How do you interface with that value proposition? Yeah, absolutely. I think for the enterprise persona, like they care about efficiency, right? And we have a lot of compliance professionals on staff who came from that world. Nobody is interested in spending, all of their day on collecting manual evidences or doing reports or the worst case, chasing different teams in the company to submit their evidence requests just to pass the compliance requirement. We streamline all of that by a lot of the integrations. We're using the LOM model to streamline a lot of policy review and validation piece, which was very interesting use case. What they also hate doing is because larger companies tend to be compliant with multiple compliance frameworks from different geographical regulations and like different best practices, they often find themselves in the audit for the whole year, right? I just finished my stock to audit. I'm going through my ISO certification, then I'm doing high trust. Well, we're able to offer because a lot of those requirements are similar and the evidence are shared. We're able to do what we called one audit multiple reports so that you can complete one audit and all your evidence are being automatically mapped and verified to different compliance frameworks and you will get multiple reports or certifications or audit done in one go, drastically saving time on that. Just like startup founders want to focus on innovation and what matters most. Compliance professionals at those large enterprise want to focus on the more strategic and cyber security focused activities versus manually chasing people for evidence. And that's the piece that we streamline and replace. Yeah, the cloud, the cloud models shown everyone the undifferentiated, heavy lifting. Love that quote from Andy Jassy. It's so persistent over time. I got to ask you, why do you think companies are hesitant to acknowledge their need to obtain compliance advice and maintenance? Is it they don't, they look at it later or they, what's their, why is their attitude like this? Why are they hesitant to acknowledge that they actually need it? They look in the other way. They just not busy. What's the issue? Yeah, well, look, I'm a two time startup founder. I totally understand that mentality, right? If it's not broken, why fix it? And no, there are always a lot of things going on. So totally understand that. What we discovered is, if you need your compliance posture, if you need your stock to report yesterday, like that's probably too late, right? We can help you accelerate and take a lot of the busy work away, but you need those programs early on because if the company has become in any way successful, you will be asked those tough questions and you want to look prepared and not last minute when being asked. It's five years ago, I think a lot of companies are doing this much later than they do today. Thanks to us and our PR companies, like educating the market a little bit more on the importance of setting up compliance in the first place. But what we're seeing, we're seeing less hesitation on investing in this because people realize like this, these are not optional, these are must haves, and they can actually accelerate your business, right? If you want to build reputation early on with your enterprise buyers, by having those certifications nail down early on is actually a great strategy. Let me ask you a question on that point because I think it's clear that compliance was that one department. Ah, the compliance department, they got to check the boxes.  Again, I come back to app sec reviews.  Talk about software, supply chains, the security issues, shift left. Now data is an innovation strategy, but with legal and compliance issues, you got data protection, compliance, new things coming. Who knows what's next? How do you, how do you see that, Sam? Because I think this is the world that's going to get much more dynamic and robust as they say, you know? Yeah, I completely agree, right? We're sharing knowingly or unknowingly a lot of data with a lot of vendors out there, right? Both as a consumer and as a startup operator. So, you know, it's become really important for compliance professionals at the enterprise to get hold of all of their vendors' compliance pushers. And, you know, that's where solutions like Thoropass really help them to not only build up a robust compliance program, but also can effectively demonstrate to their partners and buyers because those diligence needs to happen. And, you know, together we want to prove out that our customers are doing a great job. Like, they deserve the credit to prove that out. So we have a solution to help companies answering due diligence questions more efficiently, like with the LIM model and all of the great things that they're already doing on the platform. Pretty much like a lot of questions that the enterprise asks you have great answers for. And you have data to prove that you're doing that. It's the process of getting them out in the format that makes sense that takes a lot of time. So we help them to take away that heavy lifting. And obviously our SOC2 reports and different compliance certifications are accepted by the biggest banks and hospital systems in the world. So that by itself, you know, proves out the compliance posture and can save a lot of time in due diligence process. I was going to ask you that question. You just beat me too, but I think we should be a customer as well. We definitely need your service for our CUBE cloud and our Genevieve AI stuff with all our transcripts and media. I have to ask you about- Absolutely. Take us through what people are saying about Thoropatch.  I mean, data protection, audit, all these things kind of come together in one thing. It's not just compliance audit. It's like data management, data legal, data supply chain. We've taken that term around because you're seeing supply chain questions with data. You know, AI is saying hallucinations in open AI and chat GPT, you're like, whoa, whoa, where is that data coming from? A lot of things are changing. What are your customers saying about you guys? Were they happy? Where are you winning? Yeah, well, they wish they had them, they had us sooner, that for sure, right? It's like, you know, usually companies still delay a little bit on when they invest, but once they are on board, it can go very quickly. They really love the bench of expertise and opinions that we have in this space. Like we have the highest expert to customer ratio that we like to call it, right? Every company is a little bit different. The standards are the same, but they're different interpretations. We want to make sure all of our customers get a really personalized experience to the extent possible, right? To really demonstrate their compliance in the most differentiated way to their customers. So, you know, we are very much invested in our experts that are both on staff as well as we partner with. And lastly is the piece around integrating audit and certification into people's compliance journey, right? When we first started the company, we're like some of our competitors today. We help you set up compliance, all the red, light, and green, but very quickly we realized that if we cannot help the customers go through the audit process smoothly with multiple different compliance framework, that's only battle half won. So we went out of our way to create it. We were calling it the oral way, the integrated audit experience into our system so that the customer can go through the experience completely on our UI, and there are no surprises throughout the process. So that they can go from, you know, drafting their first policy on the platform all the way to having the compliance report in hand directly on the platform. So these are a couple, you know, major differentiators that we have. We love our customers. We have, you know, have the luxury to found a great vertical to be in. And we really want to, you know, with our effort build a little bit more trust in the marketplace so that the technology companies can have a better name when they are selling to enterprises. Yeah, love the confidence to give customers. And I love the TurboTax reference because the ties together, they look at TurboTax. I remember when I was doing my startups in the years, I'd used TurboTax. I didn't have any money to hire, you know, expertise. You know, I wanted to have that built into the software. You guys are doing the same thing here. Love that. Quick question while I got you here. You got to love the AI aspect coming in to help you with your experts because if you're going to build that expert ratio out to your customers, I'm sure you're going to get a lot of data and some of the AI trends is a tailwind for you guys, right? Yeah, 100%, right? I think until this latest wave of LLM models, like we're able to ingest and validate a lot of structured data from different data sources, right? All of your configuration from Amazon web service, like all of the pull requests on GitHub. And that allows us to automate a lot of the control testing and create really efficiency audit process. The LLM complete the other part of the puzzle, which is how can we parse large amount of documentation policies, procedures in an effective way so that the validators, the auditors, the enterprise buyers can quickly find and verify what they care about without having to spend a lot of human hours on reviewing those. Because we have the audit integrated in our solutions and are the only company that does that, the LLM wave gave us an incredible amount of new technology opportunities for us to make our process more efficient and more accurate so that our teams can do more work in a shorter period of time without sacrificing quality. And our customers get a somewhat magical experience on, right? You can submit a software port and see where the gaps are. And that is all enabled by the LLM models that we're leveraging in our technologies. I love the focus on ease of use. I love the focus on the integration of DevOps and Cloud, but I think the real value is you really kind of focus on the core fear of a customer, which is the audit, the dreaded audit. I mean, that is the biggest pain point and fear a customer might have. So big, big difference. And I think, yeah. And, you know, a software audit for Walmart is different from a software audit for a 20 person company, right? So, you know, following kind of the static playbook may not be the best way to, to are the most stage appropriate way for your company. You know, we try to tailor everything that we give to the customers and with the integrations as well as the policy review process that I talked about. This process can be really, really further streamlined. For a startup and a growing company, that audit could really take the wheels off the bus, big time, and derail, rail companies, momentum. Great, great solution. Same, great to have you on. Co-founder and CEO, love your positioning. Love the vertical you're in. Lot of great headroom, bringing SaaS and automation into a market that needs it. It's changing too. It's only going to be more complex. Final comments, give a plug for the company, what you're working on, how much funding have you raised? How many employees do you have? What are you looking to do? You're hiring, obviously. What's the final pitch? Yeah, thank you, John. Really, you're really glad to be here. You know, I'm lucky. As I said, you found this great vertical and a great mission to be a part of. You know, we raised our CRC. Last year, we're about 180, 190 folks headquartered here in New York with large presence across the country and they left Ham. What I want to say is like, information security compliance is no longer optional for any companies that hold data. And Thorough Pass is the only compliance and audit solution that truly gives our customers everything they need without surprises and gaps. Partnering with us allows you to reduce costs, build trust with customers and partners, and more importantly, focus on the things that matter most to your businesses and not get bogged down by compliance. Thorough Pass, inspired by TurboTax and Carta, two great software packages for startups and growing companies and enterprises, Sam Lee, co-founder and CEO. Thanks for coming on this CUBE competition. Thanks for joining me today. Thank you, John. All right, I'm John Furrier of theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy my name is David and this is a magic review. Hey today we're going to look at pieces from Christian Englom. What is it? It's a card triumph card triumph effect but with this effect what Christian has done is he's made a very clean very almost moveless looking routine and he allows it to be handed out and examined when the trick is done. You want to see what it looks like? This is it. Patrick I'd like for you to just take one card from the spread please okay and show it to the camera. Now you could have chosen any one of these cards but you chose this one look remember it okay we'll leave it here I'll shuffle the two halves face up into face down face up into face down very meticulously square now we have cards here that are face up cards that are face down and your card was placed somewhere in the middle yeah right now I'm not sure whether your card is face down or face up I don't know look if we turn the deck over maybe it's here let's put it really well so you can see I'm not sure if this is your card or if it's this one or whatever but please follow look carefully all I do is I square the deck gently and now all of the cards that are face up turn face down all except for the two twos the card you chose and it's mate incredible all right so that was Christian Englom you might remember he also did the cooler he's also on the Fat Brothers DVD series this pieces this is one of his signature tricks this is a effect he does all the time this is his card triumph and actually he devised this because Juan Tamari came up with a challenge for him in that you could have the cards shown in a spread to be completely and thoroughly mixed you then gathered the spread back up again and then without any funny movements or without turning the deck over you're able to second spread and then all the cards have been whited except for the single spectator selected card all right so a couple questions we always ask about all of our magic reviews and the first of which is what is in the box what's in the box well it's not really a box it's a little cardboard sleeve and it appears to be DVD shaped it's the exact same size a DVD should be however there is no DVD inside of it you will be unpleasantly surprised you'll unfold this find no DVD inside this though are the card gas that you will need the packaging says that it's a gimmick and a gimmick makes it sound like it's one thing but it's really several card gas so very similar to other triumph effects that use card gas pieces is in that same genre the video portion itself is a 47 minute video download is it what i thought no way in fact when i opened this i had actually forgotten what type of trick it was and then when i saw the gas i immediately thought it was some other style of trick but then remembered oh no yeah it's a triumph and then so seeing the gas and thinking it's a triumph i was lost because i was like i have never never seen a gaff like this in my entire life it's crazy looking so glad it's included so glad i don't have to make it wow what what a nutty gas card how are the angles the angles in this are very clean like i said that this was a challenge that christian had to come up with to make this kind of move less triumph effect so there are moves yes but the angles are very clean and i don't think anybody is ever going to spot some of these moves that you're doing because they're so unique to the triumph plot can it be inspectable that's the whole point behind this effect is that yes it's a gaff triumph effect but it can be examinable there are some limitations with the examination process though and we'll get to that in a minute all right so what's the overall quality and production value of the video the video is well shot it's all studio done so it's mostly a single camera shot of just christian and another guy robert and they're just sitting at a table and discussing the plot and so the camera kind of just focuses on the two of them it does have some weird random royalty-free piano music that just pops up every now and then throughout the video but you kind of tune that out after a while 47 minutes you get a lot of material christian definitely does go over all the ins and outs that you will need to know is it well made you're going to get red bicycle stock cards with this and so yes christian does say that you can use a borrowed deck probably would help if the borrowed deck was red bicycle how much practice does it require it does require some practice i'm going to say quite a bit i'm going to actually put this in the intermediate to advanced level of magic so if you're a beginner i would say there's other um easier triumph tricks to learn and so i would say this is not really for you there are some kind of i won't say they're necky i won't say they're dirty there's just some more advanced level um card handling does require that you have a good feel over cards or are able to control cards especially stacks of cards very well um so yeah it will you take you some practice how much setup and reset is there it is a deck stack okay and you'll have to assemble this back into the deck stack uh if you do the borrowed deck routine it's going to be ringing things in and ringing bringing things out basically all right so positives what are the positives to pieces pieces erases all the moves and all the tells that a typical triumph has it looks super clean and it comes across exactly what the effect should look like so everything a magician knows to look for all those tells are gone it's amazing negatives what is the negatives to this hey like we say right here there's negatives to everything these are just the negatives that i see they don't have to be the negatives that you see it's kind of implied when you're watching this that this is an effect that you have to do seated okay so kind of the nature of triumphs anyway they're usually seated because you usually do spread the cards this trick uh demands that you spread the cards and demands that you use a surface that allows the cards to be spread well so you'll have to be seated more than likely you'll have to use a mat and so that kind of eliminates a lot of people that don't perform that way that kind of eliminates people that do walk around uh or street magic okay this is this is not your trick this is a seated parlor magic style effect and so negatives it just kind of limits your performance venue i think christian performs this amazingly well i think it's just a good trick but like i said um it's just going to be a little tougher for you and i to do it because you're almost going to have to you have to perform this like christian does it's going to be hard for you to kind of adopt your own style to it you're basically going to be learning christian's trick and performing it is worth your money it's 30 bucks 30 bucks and no dvd in a box that looks like it should have a dvd for 30 i just would have appreciated a dvd instead of a download i mean there's there's an advantage to both i get it but for 30 bucks i would have appreciated a dvd who would like this people that want to do a super clean triumph people that want to fool magicians people that love the triumph effect and are looking for a new way to do it all right so that is pieces from christian englom and we'd like to thank murphy's magic for providing this for us so that we could review it for you and if you'd like to purchase your own you can find it at your favorite murphy's magic dealer thanks bye


Hi everyone, I see a couple people here. So as always, I'm going to give it just a couple minutes until We have a few more people before I launch into the full live stream Um, I have a koala here because we're talking about Australia today Okay, I see a couple people. Hello. Hello, few people So I know I'm starting a little bit early guys. I Have a plumber coming today. This is what happens when you have a ton of stuff that you were trying to get done before you leave I have people coming this morning. So I had to go live a little bit earlier and this is going to be super short So I am going to Australia on July 3rd, which is in four days And I'm super excited about it. Oops. Sorry. I'll block that light out I'm super excited about it and I realized that now that I actually have all of my stops Fully planned and organized. I should probably tell you guys where I'm gonna be so those of you in Australia, I know drop bears are not real So anyone who is in Australia if you want to come visit or if you are in In the places where these events are going on or you're nearby you can come So I also recognize let me see if I have a clock pulled up here Okay, so I recognize that it's quarter to three in the morning on the east coast of Australia So yeah, sorry I know I should be doing this at a time that works for my Australian audience But unfortunately, this is the only time that works for my schedule So this will be archived for those of you who are maybe Insomniacs and catching it but realize that you really do you want to fall asleep? This will be up on my site so you can check I will also be putting the details of my trip on Twitter Instagram and Facebook so you can definitely check up on where I'm gonna be when and Also, I will of course be tweeting about it posting about it and maybe doing a couple videos Well, I'm there just for funsies because I do have some plans to go to some pretty interesting spacey places obviously So yeah, there will be a ton of stuff about Australia while I'm there and also regular videos. Don't worry. I do have stuff Oh, there's something I'm sure I do have stuff to be recorded So yeah, so let's just jump on it and let me tell you guys what I will be doing while I'm in Australia So I I'm starting at the Starstuff 2 festival up in Byron Bay. This is the second time this festival has happened It's a conference I'm in a talk on I think it's on July 7th The dateline thing always messes me up. I leave the third and I land the fifth and lose a day It's always kind of nuts to uh to try to schedule that so I will be at the Starstuff Festival in Byron Bay From July 5th to July 8th And I'm giving one talk at 4 p.m. On the 7th. I don't know I will put links in the description once this is archived to the events I don't have the links off the top of my head Because it's been a little bit hard to actually organize all of this stuff But if anybody is going to be in Byron Bay or if anybody is going to that festival That's where I will be for my first my first trip or my first leg of the trip Okay, so then I am taking a couple days off to go to the Gold Coast because Why would I not go to the Gold Coast? I've heard about it a lot. I've never been I am I am dying to go So I'm not doing any events while I'm out there. This is just um A little bit of rest after the one big, you know, four days at a conference And I will be writing so I'll just be there working And then uh friend of mine and I are driving down to the parks observatory um Had a major role to play in Apollo 11 I've seen it. Yeah, so I will maybe I'll be Probably probably won't have The data to just um, but I will be giving two talks at the parks observatory um, one of them is at Sorry, I'm double checking my schedule here. Um I've got one Saturday night the 14th of july at 6 30 in the evening It is a dinner it looks from my schedule that it is a dinner as part of a conference. So not sure I don't think that one is a public event. Um That is the saturday evening and then sunday morning Um at 11 30 in the morning, I'll be giving a public talk. Um, also at parks So if you are in the parks area or sydney and want to drive for three hours out to parks I will be giving a talk saturday night and also sunday morning. Um, be aware of the giant spiders Yes, I know I'm aware that pretty much everything in australia is trying to kill me So I am a little bit afraid of going out into the wild in nature in australia Even the city's kind of freaked me out because you know, those spiders are this big okay, so um Oh, sorry, so that is uh, right. Okay. So that is actually the event is the astrophest at the sea CSIRO parks observatory Um, so if anybody is in the area wants to come I will be giving two talks as part of astrophest at parks So after parks, I then drive to cambletown, which is just outside sydney. Um, or maybe it is considered a different city I'm not so I don't know if it's a suburb or if it is a Or if it's a proper town, I actually don't know but I will be staying in cambletown for a couple nights Um, and I will be giving a talk. Um The event time, I don't know actually what time my talk is for this one It is part of the mccarthur astronomical society event at the plant bank, uh, mount anon Uh Spot i'm not totally sure where this is, but it is an observatory. Um So I will be giving a talk the night of july 16th Out there. Um, the event time is listed as starting at 6 30. I am one of two speakers The other is my very good friend jeff knockin some of you may know from meteorite men. Um We're we're seeing um, so i'm not sure what time My my, uh Talk is but it'll be that day at the event. Okay, and then I have a couple days in sydney. Um I will be giving a talk on july 17th at uh signs at the local at the penrith observatory. Um, so that is From my understanding. Okay, if sydney is here Well, it's here cambletown is here and then uh penrith is up here So if you're in the area at all, it seems like it would be drivable. I'm not totally sure Um, but I will be giving a talk at um 6 30 in the evening and I believe it's actually in a pub I'm not totally sure where all the events are because I am being yes at the penrith observatory. Um, I am being collected by people from my airbnb, which is awesome. Um So then that yeah, that's at my presentations at seven the event starts at 30. Um, and then the next night on july 18th I'll be giving a talk to the western sydney amateur astronomy group I'm not totally sure where that event is actually taking place again because i'm being collected for all these things Um, but again the event time is at 7 30 and the presentation starts at 8 Um, so if anybody is in the greater sydney area, these are things that um, you can get tickets to I will be putting all of the links. Um when I put up a blog post and all the stuff on my social I will have links where you can get tickets to these events Um, and then I have a couple days off in melbourne and I don't actually have any formal events in melbourne Um, I'm meeting up with a local astronomy group that I know for dinner one night and then giving some school talks on the friday Which is the let me see a calendar the 20th of july. Oh nice date Um, well, although I guess in australia technically it was the 20 it was the 21st It was the midlending date because of the date line. Um So yeah, so that is my and then i'm off to aughtland for four days Um to sit quietly after a week of or two weeks of giving a lot of talks and doing a lot of tour stuff Um to quietly write and visit another country because i've never been to new zealand Um, so that's the plan. It's um, it's not it's it's not as intense as the last um as my last tour of australia a couple years ago which was Similar schedule but multiple talks a day. So this is a little bit later Um, so yeah, while I am down there I will of course like I said be posting everything that I am doing and where I am so that you can get tickets Um, and I might try to see if I do know some people in various parts of the city try to do some meet ups If you guys are interested at all. Um, all of that will be on my twitter feed most likely that'll be the um The the kind of home base of organizing things just because it's a little bit easier to manage I think um, so yeah, definitely keep an eye on my twitter feed if you are curious to see sort of where I'm going And where things are happening that you can actually come visit at um for those of you Who will be there? I will not be selling books because I can't bring them with me because it's a little too intense Um, but if you have a book and you want it signed just bring it and I'll sign it Um, I will be I will have some light vintage space merch just pins and stuff. Um for giveaways if you are there as well um I think that's it. I actually think that's it. I just wanted to um, I I had uh, I had my apartment painted this past week. It's been it's been almost two weeks of of renovations in here This is the sneak preview of the new color scheme. I'll show you guys once I get my uh get everything set up and all the art back on the walls, but um I was easier to do a quick live stream and give you guys the update as opposed to Trying to do a full video about it because I just don't have time. Um, so, uh, that's the the basis or basics rather of my australia trip. Um, I don't think I have anything else If you guys have questions where I'm going to be or anything you can definitely leave them in the comments below I'll keep an eye on it for the next couple days to make sure that Anyone who is local and who's watching this archived because you're in australia and not awake at three o'clock in the morning Um that I do answer your questions since you are the people that I will be seeing Um, I think that's about it. I'm really sorry to everyone in perth That I won't be making it out there. I actually did have a perth stop originally because I've never I've never been to western australia and that would be the the last state that I haven't visited But unfortunately the event fell through and then I just couldn't make it work It was just too far to go for Something that doesn't that wasn't going to be there for me. So um, sadly I'll we'll have to make it back out to go see see perth one of these days. Um So that's it. That's it. Yeah, it's a pretty quick tour. It's a pretty quick little trip Three and a half weeks, but there's a lot being packed into it Um, so yeah, I will put all the information. Oh, and sorry. I saw a bunch of questions. What am I talking about? I'm giving two talks depending on the event One is a talk if any of you have been to space fest or seen me speak in the last couple years You've seen the dinosaur talk, um, which is all about the space plane that uh, america didn't know it needed before It got one that it didn't want. Um, oh, thank you sam so much for your donation proving australia exists It does exist. I will do some content from australia prove that it does exist I love it down there. Um, so I will be giving the dinosaur talk And i'm also giving a talk about um women in space Um And sort of how how would maybe from pilots to to astronauts. Um, so yeah, it'll be really exciting. I am um Sorry reading. I'm trying to read a comment, but it disappeared. I'm so sorry. Um, I'll try to watch it if it I'll try to respond if I see it in the comments. Um, so yeah giving those two talks and um, that's about it It's it's pretty casual. I'm very excited Um, and I hope to see some of you guys out there always come and say hi And um, those of you who are not in australia I will see you Via the internet from it. I don't have anything else to say So i'm gonna go finish packing. Bye guys. Thank you so much. Oh, yeah, and of course follow me on Twitter instagram and facebook to get the updates as I go along through australia. Okay. Bye guys
