Allegra Stratton was hired last year by the Prime Minister to be his official spokesperson. The idea was to have daily White House style briefings where his spokesperson would speak directly to the press. Those plans have been dropped. It turns out the government doesn't really like having its position scrutinized live on television because they often crumbled. So Allegra Stratton now has a new role. She is the Prime Minister's COP26 spokeswoman. Her job is to talk about climate change. It's now safe to say her first intervention on the subject hasn't impressed. On Tuesday she tweeted, could not rinsing dishes before the dishwasher be your one step greener ahead of COP26. If that's too hard a habit to kick, pick something else.  Change is coming. Yes, this is the person who is charged with heading the most crucial climate meeting in a generation and her big idea is for us to stop rinsing our dishes before we put them in the washing machine. Sorry, in the dishwasher. I got my white goods wrong. Let's take a look at some of the responses that this provoked. I didn't see anyone respond to this positively. We'll go through some of the best critics. Michael's worthy, the anti-Brexit campaigner tweeted, sure, how about if I stop pre-rinsing plates on my private jet flights from London to Cornwall? Clearly a reference there to Boris Johnson taking the private jet to the G7 in Cornwall instead of taking the train. Assad Rehman, who's director of war on want, responded to that tweet. The planet is on fire and underwater and the government is trolling us with bollocks about rinsing dishes. It reminds me of the big NGO's messaging, change your light bulb, not the world. It's intended to depoliticize climate and make it all about individual behavior and not about capitalism. And even Dominic Cummings got in on the act, he tweeted. Fact, people believing micro matters, orders of magnitude more than micro actually matters is one of the problems with effective communication on climate. It hugely distorts people's scale of what really affects the system. Dalia Gabriel, I want your thoughts on this issue. Do you side with Allegra Stratton or Dominic Cummings when it comes to rinsing your plates before you put them in the dishwasher? This is a government that's just commissioned to coal mine in Cumbria. It's also the same government that has done very little to challenge the power of the city of London in the fossil fuel industry where so many of the insurance companies and the finance institutions that basically make the fossil fuel industry and the projects around the world possible, that's where so many of those institutions are concentrated right in London. Climate change is, as we all know, it's a large scale problem. It's one of those things where actually every little doesn't really help. Every little kind of actually makes not really much difference. Whether it comes to preventing further impacts from climate breakdown or mitigating against the impacts of climate breakdown that is already underway, we really need large scale interventions. The thing is that it's not really rocket science. There are so many things that could be done, whether it's a mass transfer of wealth to the global south to support mitigation efforts, whether it's open sourcing technology that helps in the fighting against the impacts of climate change, open sourcing that so it's not patented in the way that the vaccines have been and we've seen how the impact of unequal intellectual property, the impacts that has on trying to tackle global crises, it also probably does include a reduction in energy use as well as obviously a shift in energy source from carbon intensive industries to alternative sources. But that reduction in energy cannot just happen. I mean, it's not relevant for it to just happen in an individually sort of meated out level. It's rather about stopping companies and industries like our agricultural industry, for one big example, from engaging in very wasteful practices because under capitalism, it's often much cheaper to overproduce and then waste than it is to sort of reduce or redistribute. So it involves these kinds of rewiring and systemic changes that, you know, focus so that our energy system is focused on what is sustainable, what is necessary, what is sort of meets people's general needs rather than than profit. And Allegra Stratton's approach here basically is the equivalent of looking at the Australian wildfires that happened and being like, well, maybe if we all just pull our pants down and piss on it, then maybe we'll get somewhere, like that's literally the equivalent. And I'm glad that everyone across the political spectrum has united to say that this is so laughable. But it also goes a lot further beyond her because it really makes me think about the idea of the carbon footprint, which is sort of so endemic in our understanding of what it means to fight against climate change, what it means to sort of mitigate against climate change. It's sort of in our everyday lexicon, it's key to how we understand climate change.  But it was actually a quite frankly, manipulative marketing tactic that was developed by the fossil fuel industry in order to, as Assad said, individualize climate change to portray it as something that everyone is equally responsible for and that we can approach it by taking these sort of like minor individual behaviors. It was literally cooked up by BP to stave off efforts to hold the company and its other sort of colleagues accountable. Because in some parts of the world, like in the US, we had the lobbying efforts going towards climate denialism and climate skepticism, where in countries like the UK and in other countries in Europe where that wouldn't really fly, because most people sort of believe that climate change is real, they just innovated a different, quite effective strategy of taking the fact that people's real concerns and sort of assuaging that concern by giving them the sense that they can do something to impact the thing that they are worried about. You know, giving them something menial so that they can feel like they're doing their bit. And that way, not only is our anger and our scrutiny not directed to the institutions and the companies that are like responsible, but in fact, our scrutiny is deflected towards each other as we like become curtain twitches on whether or not people are like composting right or recycling enough. So really like the government here, despite hosting, as you said, these very important climate negotiations in Glasgow later this year, not only is the government sort of showing us that it doesn't bode well, because not only are they not really standing up to the fossil fuel industry in a way that is necessary, but they're actually doing the propaganda for them. They're actually doing the propaganda of the fossil fuel industry for them. And that doesn't bode well, especially as we've talked about it before, these negotiations have historically been hijacked and happened on the terms of companies and states that are responsible for this mess, and have silenced the communities that most urgently are most urgently impacted by climate breakdown. And these comments by our so-called climate spokesperson suggests that COP this year, the climate negotiations this year isn't going to be any different. That's a very important point. So I want to go back to the issue of Allegra Stratton. Some people might be watching you saying you're judging her on a tweet. There was a whole article. Now, she was sharing a Telegraph article, which was based on a comment piece she'd written in the Telegraph. So we can go to that for the full context. I'm not sure it makes it much better, to be honest. She writes, But all the more achievable because of it ahead of COP26, choose one thing, go one step, greener. She goes on. On your own, we are not pretending these steps will stop climate change. But here in the UK, you are not on your own. The Prime Minister's green 10 point plan to build back greener means the government is getting stuck in businesses large and small are lowering their emissions. And the NHS is two with one step greener, it will add up. The very obvious thing to say is I find it quite worrying that the Prime Minister's COP26 spokesperson is very obviously putting in basically sponsored content to statements on climate change. COP26 principal partner, Wreckett, who make Finish says you don't need to rinse your dishes because their dishwashers are so good. The broader point, Allegra Stratton, if you want to be very sympathetic to her, is saying these steps on their own will not stop climate change. And the point I want to put to you, Dalia, is potentially, is there an argument that even though these small individual actions that you can take recycling your glass bottles or what Allegra Stratton wants us to do, freezing half your bread, even if that on its own doesn't solve climate change, is there a sense that that could make everyone feel included in the fight against climate change? And so the habit of trying to be green makes you more committed to the things that matter that are green. Do you think there's anything to that, or am I trying too hard to defend the Prime Minister's spokesperson here?   I think that that's not the point. But the point is, is that you would actually be much better off if what you want to do is feel included in the fight against climate breakdown, you'd be much better off being involved in campaigning and political activism to, for example, divest the institution that you work in or institute your pension fund or things like this to divest it from fossil fuels. You'd be better off getting involved in demanding those large scale things. And that's the kind of political, I think it's, it's very sad that, you know, we've kind of entered this sort of era where political activity and political consciousness is very much something that we individualize rather than something that we kind of collectively achieve. So obviously it's, you know, I guess it's part of it. And I guess like having an ethic of, you know, redistribution and an ethic of, you know, not wasting, not being wasteful. But frankly, you know, the waste that's done on an individual level, it's just nothing compared to corporate waste. It's nothing compared to the scale of waste that we see, for example, by supermarket chains, the scale of waste that we see in industries like Amazon, you know, that is sort of factored into their business model. It's so minuscule that I worry that any kind of over focus on these individual behaviors allows us to kind of deflect from the real issues and invest in solutions that are just not going to get us where we need to be fast enough. I worry that it's actually, it can be a bit demobilizing is what I'm saying.  But what trendy things to buy that are green? I don't know. We've got one more climate story for you in case you've been living under the illusion that our establishment are taking climate changes seriously as they should. It's a story revealed by the Guardian today, the Queen lobbied ministers in the Scottish government to make sure she is exempt from climate legislation. So they report the exemption means the Queen, one of the largest landowners in Scotland is the only person in the country not required to facilitate the construction of pipelines to heat buildings using renewable energy. Her lawyers secured the dispensation from Scotland's government five months ago by exploiting an obscure parliamentary procedure known as Queen's Consent, which gives the monarch advanced sight of legislation. So the monarch gets advanced sight of legislation. She saw there was going to be a policy forcing her to put pipes on her grounds to have a more green form of heating. She didn't want that. There's an opt out in the legislation. Now this does make it seem a bit of a joke when they're telling all of us, you should take individual action. Because when you add it all up, it makes a difference. The people who can make a difference on their own, because their consumption habits are so ginormous that personal decisions by them actually could make a big difference. They get to opt out. So this does seem like a complete joke to me and God save us from four degrees of heating because our leaders definitely aren't going to stop that from happening.


Right that little space right here used to be a range hood. Now the problem with that is that this range hood was 110 volts but it didn't take any amps to run it. What we're going to do is install a microwave right there so we're going to have to run a new power source to it. That's where the problem is. The voltage that that hood had is not enough amperage to be able to handle the microwave. It's that circuit that you see right here is tied into the lights and probably some of the outlets. That's not going to work. So what we've got to do is run a new circuit from the breaker panel right there. You can see it right there. We're going to have to go up the wall and excuse me for not looking at you because I'm trying to figure out how to point. So we've got to go from the top of this breaker panel right there up the ceiling and then across and I'll turn around to show you. This is going to be what the breaker panel is. So we'll have to go up the breaker panel across the ceiling right here over to that cabinet and then down that wall to right where that hood is at right there.  It's not going to be an easy process because I've actually got to cut that dry wall up there so that I can get a wire up there. There's a 2x4 plate across the ceiling that I'm going to have to drill through so that I can run my wire up there and then once I do that there's a cavity between the upstairs apartment and this apartment.  So I'll have to fish that line across the ceiling to this point in the ceiling.  Sounds pretty easy but I assure you it's not but it can be done and I'm going to take you through the steps to do it so let's get started. Well thanks for watching be sure to check this next video out and if you would hit that little round icon up there with my cute little face in it that way you can subscribe to the channel and you'll be sure not to miss a thing and as always if you like it give it a thumbs up I'll see you soon.

Well, hello my friends and welcome back to my channel. Today we are gonna be going over my February Minimalism Challenge. I think it's called Minimalism Game, the minimalist, I can't talk today, Josh and Ryan, I will link their channel down below. But I did one of these challenges back in December and I also did one in January and then February and I'm fully aware that it's way past February but I did film little snippets for you guys just to kind of show you ideas and things like that. You know, if you want to do this kind of a challenge which I highly recommend because it's kind of amazing how much junk we have that just doesn't really add value and service anymore that could be better off either recycled or donated or sometimes just thrown in the trash. I also shared this journey on Instagram. My Instagram is down below as well and I took photographs every single day and put them up for you guys to see. So yeah, it was 28 days. I got rid of less than 500 items and I actually donated them to a local charity in my area for all the things I donated. So since February I haven't been doing this challenge any longer but you know what's actually kind of interesting is that I have a, I have at least one co-worker that is doing it for this month which we are currently in April and I ask about, I ask her about it every single day and a lot of the co-workers that I have know I have a YouTube channel so hey if you work with me. She's been doing an awesome job and she watched a couple of my other videos that inspired her to start cleaning out her home. So it's kind of fun when you have a partner to do it with. That's what Josh and Ryan over at the Minimalist suggest but I just wanted to do it on my own and there were a few of you that actually joined me on the journey and would tag me on Instagram which was like awesome or you would write comments on Facebook and actually put like pictures and images of what you purged that day so I don't know I just thought it was really really fun to be like more interactive with y'all. So anyway without further ado let's get into showing you all the things I purged in the month of February. On day one I am getting rid of this bin that used to house some bedding that I no longer have so this is it for day one. On day two I am getting rid of these two glittery trees I previously had in my home and no longer have a use for. So these are leaving on day two. On day three I'm getting rid of these three Minnesota gift baskets. I never found a use for them so it's time for them to go to a better home. So this is day three. Day four is four glass items that I never really found a specific purpose for and have just been dust collectors in my home. So this is going to be it for day four. On day five I have some sheets for a bed that I no longer have. I totally thought I got rid of all of these but apparently not. A watering can, some warrior green garland and also some basket shrink wrap and that's going to be it for day five. On day six I am getting rid of six different decor and storage items. Since downsizing and minimizing I just really don't have a use for any of these things so it's time for them to go to a better home. So this is it for day six. For day seven I am parting way with seven plastic containers. I'm trying not to use plastic reusable containers any longer and moving towards glass and honestly most of these were completely empty and I just had them stored around my house so it is time to donate these and pass them along to someone else that will use them. So this is it for day seven. On day eight I am getting rid of eight plastic cups that frankly I never used. Alright so for day nine I have a bunch of plastic containers, a little wire basket that I used to use but I purged all the things that were in there so I no longer have a use for. And then I also have this white towel that I absolutely love but for some reason it has this really weird blue tinge to it now. I think it must have gotten mixed up with my darks a few too many times. It's a great towel so I'm going to pass it along but it's not the color white that I want. So this is going to be it for day nine. On day ten I'm getting rid of all kitchen items, some plastic things, a little baking shaker, that black thing is a napkin holder and then all the rest are some unused kitchen towels. So this is it for day ten. So for day eleven I am getting rid of eleven plastic containers. I used to use them all the time for my business but I haven't picked them up in over six months and I've got a better system now so these eleven plastic containers we're going to go off to a better home and be donated. So this is it for day eleven. On day twelve I'm getting rid of a few decor pieces and some kitchen items. I have this print that says stay awhile from Aaron Condren. It used to be in my guest room. I no longer have a guest room so that needs to go. I also have this really cool shelf from Ikea that I've just never found a place for in my home. And then the utensils are just things that I had duplicates of or things that were unloved as well as the utensil crock. I actually have two of those and there's really no reason that I need two of those in my life. So this is it for day twelve. Alright so day thirteen I'm still in the kitchen, purging items. I've got a bunch of kitchen tools as well as this like glass vase thing that I never really found a good use for and then I have a kitchen drying mat which I don't even really realize why I had this because I basically wash nothing by hand so that doesn't really belong in my life. So this is it for day thirteen. On day fourteen I'm getting rid of a bunch of bins slash containers slash other random stuff. I've got two kitchen knives, a paper towel dispenser that I've never put up, a light bulb I have no use for, a coaster and this is just a random day. So this is day fourteen. So for day fifteen I decided to clean out my freezer. This is all food unfortunately that has expired and I need to get way better at eating up stuff before it expires but it does feel so good to have a clean freezer that has everything that is okay to eat. So unfortunately all of this is going to go into the trash but I'm making a vow to myself to eat what I have now and not just let it sit there for like literally years because it takes a long time for frozen things to expire but this is it for day fifteen. Alright day sixteen is a big day.  I'm also getting rid of a couple of things that I got from Financial Peace University when I took it way back in the day. I have some audio CDs as well as like a checkbook register that helps with like your cash intake and out go that I never really utilized. I went to all the classes so I don't need the CDs any longer. I am actually gonna pass those off to somebody very specific in my life but everything else you see here is going to go to donation so that is it for day sixteen. Alright day seventeen is just a mismatched pile of stuff. I've got these two fall gourds that I never put out this year so it's time to see those go. Some excess kitchen towels, a couple organizers, some electrical plates and also a grooming brush for Doyle that I don't use anymore. I have a different one and I don't gravitate towards this one any longer so all of this stuff is going to get donated and this is it for day seventeen. On day eighteen I am getting rid of some office items. I have three boxes of staples, a little stapler, a pouch from Aaron Condren that I unfortunately ruined and all the rest are file folders. So this is it for day number eighteen and day nineteen is the remainder of these file folders that I found in my office that I've never used so I'll be donating these and hopefully they will go to a home that appreciates them way more than I did so this is day nineteen. On day twenty I have a bunch of office items still. I still had some of those dang file folders and I grabbed a couple of items from my kitchen and I also had a waste basket that I never really found a purpose for so it's time for all of this stuff to go off to a better home so this is day twenty. Day twenty one I have a random assortment of things. I've got a blanket, I've got Doyle's old collar, as well as Doyle's old leash, I've got a baseball hat, some travel items, a bunch of nail polish that I don't gravitate towards. I also have these like nail polish dotting tools. I've got a reusable bag and like a little squeezy thing and then also I have like a little bandaid heel protector thing that's all dried out. So this is it for day twenty one. Day twenty two I'm getting rid of a bunch of different containers and I found all of this other stuff in my bathroom. Some of this stuff I just don't use or I have so many duplicates of all the bandaid and gauze and ointment pads and all of that. I don't need that many. I kept so much and it's time for those to just go somewhere else. So this is it for day twenty two. Day twenty three is twenty three books. I have read all of these books. I don't need them any longer and I've actually been using Audible. This is not a sponsored video at all but I've really enjoyed Audible and I think I'm just going to be going with audiobooks from this point forward. I'm not somebody that tends to re-read things so these are all going to be donated. There's a few of these and I'm actually going to hand select for somebody in my life that I think would get value from them but this is it for day twenty three. All right it is day twenty four and I am getting rid of 10 paper bags and to be honest I think that these were from the previous owner. I found them underneath my kitchen sink and I use reusable bags typically so I don't know where these came from but there's 10 of them so I'm going to recycle those as well as I have a bunch of more band-aids. I think I counted twenty three total band-aids just in this specific pile. So we're just going to call this good at day twenty four. So it's day twenty five and I'm finally onto clothing. I have a bunch of tops, some bottoms, mostly pajama bottoms. I've got a twins hat as well as a bunch of socks that have seen better days. So this is it for day number twenty five. Day twenty six is twenty three pairs of underwear and there are a few of them that still have tags on them but I just don't gravitate towards them because they don't suit my life anymore and then I've got three socks that have seen better days. So this is day number twenty six. So for day twenty seven there's kind of a mix of things. The basket on the right is something I've had for like maybe a decade and I used to put in a bunch of slippers and these were for my guests but to be honest I like don't have that many friends that come over for like an extended period of time. So I am choosing to get rid of three of the slipper sets. I did keep two of them. I also have these prints that I actually ordered online and to be honest I know they're probably coming off on camera very very neutral but it's just way too much color for me so I'm going to pass those along and then we've got some home decor stuff. I've got some tech things that I'm actually going to return and then over to the left hand side there are some planner stickers a bunch of different like organizers and a binder so this is going to be it for day twenty seven. So this is my day twenty eight. I have a ton of stickers and planner items in here. Doyle you're not leaving but anyway this is day twenty eight. I'm going to pass these along to my planner sticker friends that are locally here in Minnesota but yeah this is going to be day twenty eight and there's way more than twenty eight items in here. Doyle do you want to be in the minimalism game? No. I've invested too much money into you boy. Doyle just wants stickers. That's what it is. All right so this is it for day twenty eight. All right so that is it. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If y'all have any questions feel free to put them down below in the comments. You guys know the drill. If you like these kind of videos make sure to give it a thumbs up and feel free to subscribe and if you guys have any other downsizing slash purging video ideas put them in the comments. I am going to be filming a video actually right after this about sentimental items so stay tuned for that but again hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you in the next one. Bye.

Hi everybody, it's Sam here and I'm super excited to be sharing my very first Christmas collection. So this is a perfect pop-up, so you have a 5x7 and a 6x6 and they will create these really fun interactive cards. Along with the dies, you also get some really fun stamps. We've got elves and snowmen and we have Father Christmas and a wonderful reindeer. Along with the other ones that I launched three weeks ago, they will also work with this die set. You also get outline dies and stencils, so there's a lot in this one. So I'm going to flip the camera around and show you a ton of samples and hopefully it'll give you lots of inspiration and I can explain everything to you. Okay so I've got all of the product here, first of all, that I'll show you. So some of you will already be familiar with these four stamp sets here. So these ones were launched possibly two, three weeks ago now. So these came in earlier so we decided to share them before and these ones will work across all of the different other dies that I've brought out and you'll see that in the samples that I'll be showing you in a moment.  But there's someone here that you can mix up, I mean the present you could use whenever you wanted to. That doesn't have to be Father Christmas or Santa's beard, that could be you know anybody's beard and then you've got like the bow tie and the ties and stuff like that that you could use as well. But they're really fun, again you'll see them on the samples so that's those four. So all of that is available and I'll share all the links below and then the new product that we have just launched are these three stamp sets here. So these can be used on their own, they can be used across the other styles, these actually work really well with the wiper dies that I have because of their expressions and just the sizes of them. But I'll also show you how you can use some of these on the new concept as well. And then you have this one which is a seam builder, so you have all these other elements. Again you can buy that on its own and you could easily create really nice effects using these pieces as well. So if you are someone that's just a stamper, these are some fantastic stamps, we're so pleased with them and the sizes and everything. The puns, the sentiments, they're just really, really nice. So that's those three, Snowman and Elf, Santa and Rudolph and the Seen builders and they're all A5 stamp sets. We then have the dies that will also work with these. So you have your props with the Christmas and the party. Okay, so they will cut some of your props out. You then also have the two there which are for the animal antics and the Christmas Critters. They will cut all the animals out and then a few extras as well. And then you have your outline dies for the Snowman and the Elf and the Santa and Rudolph. Then also brought out a paper pad. I adore this paper pad. I have used so much. Obviously I know I had a lot of samples to make but it's just such an easy paper pad. So again, if you're someone that just loves the papers, definitely I would recommend getting this one. You have your two kind of candy cane, the stripes here, you've got the red with the thin green and then you've got the red and the green. You've then got a chimney rooftop scene, beautiful white and grey snow scene. Then you've got your snowy background there and then you've got this other really lovely scene with the snow there. So I'll just show you one of each there is this one. I've been using this feature a lot. You'll see that again in some of the samples. You get four of each design and there are 180 GSM and these cut brilliantly with the newest die, which is just here, which I'll be showing because usually I would always recommend a heavyweight cardstock with the dies, especially when they're a construction like a kinetic style but this one works really well with paper. So this is perfect for your mats and layers. But look at that one, isn't it stunning? And I've done a really nice one with the Penguin and kind of ice skating with this background. And then there's that one there. It's almost got a little bit of the kind of the northern lights going on there. It's really, really nice. There is your red one. Love that one. It's great for presents as well. Again, you'll see all of that coming and then there's the thick stripes and then the slightly thinner green stripe on there as well. Again, perfect for the presents, which you will be seeing in a moment. I've then also brought out two stencils. Now on the website, these will be in this green colour here, which is my turquoise green because you couldn't see it. You can just see it just about make them out here. But you basically have this scallop detail one here, which will create a roof. You could also use it if you like to do your underwater theme, so it could be some fish scales or a mermaid's tail. And then you have the brickwork here, which you'll see me use on the chimney. Looks really, really good. So it's a great one. So if you're someone that's into your mixed media like doing your layouts, it's a really nice one. And then this one here, we have this floral detail, which is kind of like a wallpaper. That's where we're kind of going with this one to do a background behind the Christmas pudding or something. However, you can also stamp this. It looks really nice stenciled, sorry, onto the base of the cupcake. So you'll see that in future tutorials. And then here you have your sprinkles, your dots, and then you've got these squiggly lines as well. And the sprinkles I have used on the cupcake. So it's another really nice handy one. And then onto the newest dies here. So this makes a pop-up card. So you can have a pop-up pudding or cupcake, or you can have a pop-up present or chimney. With this one here, it's five by seven. And this one is six by six. This one here, you have Santa's boots, which will also die cut the stamped image of the boots as well. You've got your snow here, which will also die cut the snow stamp along with the lights and along with this bow. But the bow, the, well, maybe the snow because you could die cut all of the boards individually and they will fit inside there. So I would say these ones will all work on their own, but they will obviously complement the stamps that we've done. And then these, as like I said, are the lights that will cut out the stamped image.  This one will cut out your snow and you can just stick that on the front, which I've shown you, but there's also a stamp. So if you want to create that on its own, you can do. Then onto this one, the six by six. So again, you have your mechanism here and then you have the base here and then you can add either the pudding or the cupcake topping onto that base. But the base works really nice on its own as well and you can have it in different colors. So it looks like sand or it looks like a snow mound. It could look like a mountain, a hill, all kinds of things. So again, I'm looking forward to seeing what people create using that and other people's ideas. And then you get two snowflakes here. These are your icicles and then this one here is just another kind of, it could be snow, it could be some topping. It looks nice with the cherry on top. It's entirely up to you how you want to use it, but those are the newest dies. So like I said, all of this product will be linked below. There's more there as well and a lot of my other stuff you can mix and match with this as well. So onto the samples. So first of all, I'll start off with the six by six pudding because this is the newest and then I'm going to show you how it also works on some of my older diesets as well. So here you have your six by six card.  And I put some glossy accents on his eyes there. He looks very, very sweet. And then you've got your holly leaf there. I've stamped the Merry Christmas pudding sentiment and I just think it's turned out lovely. You can see the background papers there that I've used and then that just slides back down and then inside stop folding card you have all used space to write your message. So they're all like that in terms of the inside. Here's another one here, but this time you have the snowman popping out. I love you snow much. This is probably one of my favorites because I love the sentiment. I just love the way he pops up like that with his arms open. Then this one I've used the striped papers and we have the elf popping out. So some of these now you'll start to see a few doubles maybe just with different coloured papers because I've done the samples. Well actually these are some of the demos that I've done when I was on Hachanda launching this collection. So here is using the animal antics stamp. So I've used Marty the Meerkat here and all I've done is I just cut out the base one there which gives you this shape and I just thought it looked good as a sand kind of mound or a sand tube and then you pull this one and up pups. The other Meerkat there with the bow tie on which is one of the props. These are the props. These are the props here and then the Merry Christmas is one of the sentiments and the papers here are from one of my older paper pads and that's your scenes one. Really nice background papers and here you'll see I've done it in acetate so you don't have to do it in just cardstock you can do it in acetate as well but also just make sure you use like a heavy weight acetate the whole construction weight. I'll be talking about it in future tutorials but that way it will hold and you'll be able to push it up and down really easily but he just pops in like so. This one here is just using it on its own to make this snowy kind of looking snow mound and then I've used the snowflakes there some of the icicles just to give you an idea and again you pull it up and out pops the snowman. Really really sweet and again I've used glottier accents I colored them all in using my color pencils. This one here is the cupcake so I put some sprinkles on top using some Nuvo drops and a nice shiny cherry on top there and again using the papers from one of my older paper pads and then it pops the meerkat. Certain animals will work with it other ones won't they really do mix across so you'll have to play around with them and then again here another pudding one and this has the snowman but with a different striped background again. Here is the one I love this one with that beautiful background paper and then that lovely shiny snow and everything's heat embossed on this one and I kept all the tones really really soft to get all the grays and the blacks here and then again up pops Penelope the penguin. This one uses that blue night sky in the background and again you have your snowman popping up there. I had to do nine demos across the day so I have a lot of cards. Another cupcake love this one and you'll see here I actually shaped the bottom of it. Again I've used some glitter on the embossed sections here and then that lovely cherry and then you pull this one and you've got Heidi the hippo that pops out pops up with her unicorn crown as you do. I mean what else would you expect to pop out of a cupcake so again the papers are from my scenes party pad that one and then we've got two more here so this is another striped one with the elf which was another demo and then this one here I've shaped the bottom but I've also just cut off the top there so it's more like a muffin. So again I'm just trying to show you different ways to evolve it and just change it up each time. You've got the cherry there and then you've got Boba that pops out the top of this one. I really love it his smile and I've just used some of the holly there in the corner as well so that is the new six by six pop-up die set and then I'm going to show you the five by seven. Okay so this is the five by seven so this is how it looks so here's your chimney and I've got some of the snow on the top these are using some of the scene builder so you've got the Santa's sack you've got Rudolph's treats which I love and this stack of presents. I've used the sentiment Santa's here those papers with that lovely scene there and then when you pull this one up Santa pops up to say hello I think it's adorable. I've stamped the brickwork here but you've also got a stencil that can do that for you as well but I think that one's turned out really well and again pops down and then you can open this one up. These have traveled a long way so I had to kind of some of the corners were a little bit dogged but I think we're okay now but inside there you've got all that space. Here's another one this one says Santa's here and I've put Rudolph at the bottom and then again a few of the little bits there these these stars also come in the die set and then you pull this one and you've got Santa's feet. This is one of my favorites there's just something about it I really adore and I've got a couple of really nice fun other ways of using the feet on other kind of shaped cards so those would be being shared very soon on my channel and again just slides down inside the chimney there. This one is kind of the chimney and the present I've put the bow on the top here and you'll see that's that snow die there which looks really nice and then you've got a little holly there and then Santa Claus is coming to town and then you pull the top and up pops the elf. So the elf and the snowman were made more for like the wiper and the the pudding because it's obviously much wider but you can just get away with it in this one and again I'll show you in future tutorials if you go very very thin with your tape either side you'll fit your elf in there and I think he looks really really good. Another one because again I had to do so many demos but you'll see I've used lots of glossy accents and colored the sleigh there so again this is all from that scene builder stamp set and then you pull the top here and up pop Santa. This one I put the sentiment up here rather than down there but just be careful that's on foam he doesn't catch when he comes up but do obviously take that into account and then here's how to turn it into the present I love this using those striped papers I've used some lovely red glitter card there that big bow and then these presents are from the props the Christmas prop set and then this one says I hope your Christmas is super chilled you pull the top here and up pops the snowman and of course when the cards open that's how it's obviously displayed and then it fills that area but you could have it down like that if you wanted to and you might want to put your sentiment up the top so again lots of ways to use it so there's some more stars there you can see I've used the snowballs there and they've been die cut other bits and pieces there's Rudolph again and then up pops Father Christmas and then another present one here I've just cut a few stripes here it was actually the it's that cut in half and then I just put it across like so I've used some props here the selfie sign the holly this one says Berry Merry Christmas so you know who's going to pop out of this one and there's bow bear rather than a polar bear he's a brown bear and he's got the little elf hat on there as well and then the last one in the five by seven is this one here and up pops Santa's feet again so it's just another way to show you how that one works very very fun so that is the five by seven and the six by six and now I'm going to show you some more samples to use all of this really and those animal antics and Christmas critters all mixed across other styles so we'll show you these ones here so this is just more of just a non-kinetic style card so just more of a standard card with a little bit more to it so some of you would have already seen these so this is let's party which is one of my stamps and then I've used these balloons and then the meerkats with their party hats on to give you that slimline dl size this one here's bow bear having a selfie it's just on a six by six card blank I've done a bit of an embossed background there and then lots of props lots of texture this is using the fluffy stuff from cosmic shimmer glossy accents on his nose really really fun here I've used four of the new critters she's got bow bear I do the hippo Marty the meerkat and Penelope the penguin and you can see all of that working together they look so much fun and then this was a newer one which I shared the other day on my channel and this is a joyful card and I focused using the actual this is the Polaroid die from my six by six square slider die set and then I've used all of the props there and then Heidi and you just open this one up and you have this card and it says hippo birthday to you again everything I'm using I will link below because that's those there then let me show you some slider cards so these slider cards here are using the new papers and then there is Penelope the penguin and then this one here again some of these have got a little bit squashed in transit but they're just about still work hope your Christmas is super chilled how lovely is that so that's how that stays displayed and then inside you've got all your space to write your message so all of the mechanics are always hidden you don't ever see any of it which is really nice so that's the five by seven zigzag slider die set again this is the zigzag here and I've got the lovely reindeer the naughty but nice little props there along with these bits and pieces and then the papers again focusing on that lovely image there and then you just pull it and you've got Santa Claus is coming to town then another zigzag here using the snowman more of those props and the holly leaf there and again you just pull the top and it says I love you snow much so there might be some of you that just love the stamps and you already have this slider dies from previous launches you can see how you can use this on those dies and it looks really nice then this is the six by six circle so I've got Santa here and I tried to kind of do the chimney look but doing it all within that circle so you can see how I've cut the bottom of it there we've got some stars here more of the fluffy stuff props there with the ho ho ho snowballs all kinds of bits and pieces and then this one you pull it and it says Santa Claus is coming to town and these are just stuck using foam so that this mechanism can slide underneath so it doesn't obstruct it at all there we'll leave that one up and then this was one that I done on the launch on Hachanda loved the green mirrored card in this one it says eat drink and be merry so there's that Polaroid there so again you can see how I've just taken that die from this one from the set and used it onto that one there and again pull the top Santa Claus is coming to town very very fun then we have bow bear on the circle so these are the square that was a square sorry that's a circle this is a circle berry merry christmas and then we have another circle hey Rudolph using glitter card and you can see there Santa Claus is coming to town and then the snowman I love you snowmuch trying to see if I've done any doubles I don't think I have then you would have recognized this one so this was the one that I done when we launched this like I said a few weeks ago and it's Heidi with all of her props I went very over the top with that one but I think it shows the card and all of those stamps off really well and then there's only two more left we have the elf I love this one again using that Polaroid Santa Claus is coming to town and then we have this one here which again would have shown in older videos but it's Rudolph have yourself a very merry Christmas that sentiment was actually from card making magic but you can use obviously whatever you want so that is the slider I think they work fantastically with the sliders and they're such beautiful styles to make anyway so yeah thoroughly enjoyed doing these so I'm just going to pop all these back down again okay then on to the wiper cards this is the six by six wiper die set that I have so I've just created this little scene here with the rooftop you can see Santa's footprints there I added the bow there and then you pull the sides and up pops Father Christmas really easy to do I've got a lovely movement so then I love the wiper cards and then on the back I'll just add a white mat there and then I've got room to stamp and write my message this one here it's Father Christmas and Rudolph and then you pull the sides pops the elf again really nice movement to them and this I just tore some paper and then I stamped my message there hope your Christmas is super chilled and I just pop some glue and glitter on the front and again you can see that with the white on the back this was one that I done earlier on using the eve the elephant and this is the die set that comes with this six by six wiper die and then when you pull it another little elephant pops out the top and then this was one that I made very quickly during a tv demo had a few minutes to do it so it's not as detailed but again it just shows you Father Christmas down the bottom here and then Rudolph pops out the top Rudolph works really well on the wiper wiper cards I think he looks so cool there again you can see how that works that's the six by six and then I've got a mix here of the five by seven and the five by seven z-fold so let's just sort those out okay so the five by seven this one if you watched me on Hachanda this was I think the last demo I done I had three minutes to do it and this is what I done so I created the snow scene background there then you've got the presents you've got Penelope the penguin with her friend and then the bow the sentiment and then the actual speech bubble pops at the top here let's pop a party so it came together really well I did have it obviously cut but still having to do that in a matter of minutes was intense and then I've got this one here so this Father Christmas popping up from the snow saying Santa's here and then Rudolph pops out the top and you can see how these papers just work perfectly this one was one that I made during my last craft stash facebook launch and it is the three critters here and then oh bear pops out the top love that one as well this one here is again one of my favorites the meerkat the wiper works really well with the meerkats you've got them all there and then he pops up thinking he's missing out and actually that's got a bit bent in travel there but now you can see it works really really well then we've got Penelope again here and this is using the stamps and the lights and everything that come in the collection and again let's pop a party and then this was one that I done during a facebook live on my own and this was a shaker wiper cards you'll see in here you see all the snow that moves around inside and I've done some heat embossing on acetate there but you've got and mirror stamping as well so they're actually facing each other so that's the original and then a mirror stamped image of this one and then bow bears gate crashing their lovely ice skating date and I also have it in this one but it got a bit trashed and I think it just got packed in a bit of a an odd way it goes down but it kind of well maybe it is no see then it just stops it's gone very I think it might have even got a bit wet so I think this is going to become one that I keep on display I don't think I'll be sending this one out because it just doesn't yeah it just kind of stops but again just to give you inspiration on how you know the different colorways work with that style there as well it looks really really nice and then the five by seven z-fold so here we've got all of the reindeer and then up pops Rudolph with his red nose you can see I've used the presents there and the naughty but nice and I've stamped the lights all along the top and put some glossy accents over the tops of them there so they look like they're shiny and then this one I done during a facebook life so you've got all of the meerkats there birthday party and then up pops the other one there which I think looks really good birthday wishes and then this one here is another one that I done during a facebook life we've got Eve there party and then up pops Boba and then it's that's the again the dye that comes with that set yeah it's your day and then I've got these two here which I've recently made which just show you another way to use the dyes without using the mechanism so I've actually created a card base using the base of the pudding or the cupcake and you can open it up you can see there how that looks really simple but very effective and I just think they've they're very very sweet and then this one here is the cupcake so I've used that glitter card stock for the cherry here you can see I've used the stencil to create the sprinkles and then I've used some nuvo white nuvo there and some glue and glitter just to create that kind of sparkly icing and then I've used the sentiment there happy birthday cupcake which I've heat embossed I've also used my embossing folder the zigzag embossing folder on the base there as well which I thought worked really well with the cupcake but it was just another nice idea and you can see how it looks there on how to use those dyes you know to make other things it doesn't have to always be you know a card that moves with you know a mechanism in it it can just be something like this I love these I'll definitely be making a few more of these and these would be nice you could put maybe five of them in a box or something and maybe even sell them so it's another good idea but yeah so that's those there so I think that's all of the samples that is my very first Christmas collection and it has been so much fun it's been a joy to put together and seeing it all here now it just makes all the hard work worthwhile so yeah thank you to everybody that's already purchased I hope you enjoy using it or I can't wait to see what you make with it and as always all the links to this product will be shared below look out for any offers that will be around because we sometimes have deals that will last just a certain amount of time so when we obviously do the big launch on craft stash then you know that is a good time to purchase because we try and give you the best offers that we can so head over there because the launch will be going on I'll be back very

You can see it in the gardens and the trees and in the lighthearted step of the Great Gilder Sleeve as he turns the corner heading for home. I'm as busy as the spider spinning daydreams. I'm as giddy as a baby on the tree. Oh, hello, Leroy. I'm sure glad you're coming home, Unk. Yes, thank you, my boy. How's everything with the family? That's why I'm glad you're coming home.  What's this? Margarine, Bronco and Birdie. You know what we ought to do, Unk? You what? We ought to boycott them. Boycott? Picket them. Yover, Leroy. I'm boiling. Yes, oh, I see. What a family. You said that. Most twins. What about the twins? Old Marge and Bronco, just because they're the mother and father, they think they owe most kids. He is well. Holy cow. Can't even get near them. Before you can get in the room, you've got to be pasteurized. Well, I know, my boy. Margarine and Bronco and Birdie are like three mother hens with those babies. Hens? Ah, eagles. Well, you'll have to be patient, Leroy. But why can't I hold them? You'll be able to hold them after a while. Why can't I feed them? What's to put in a bottle in a kid's mouth? I know which end the milk comes out of.  So I don't understand that Margarine and Bronco and Birdie are only thinking of what's best for the babies. We should be glad they feel that way. We should be proud of them. Now, let's go in the house and I'll be one happy family again. OK. The boy's all right now. I brought him around. You'll just leave you a born diplomat. Hello, everybody. We're home. I'm Ivy. Feeding the babies. Come on, Leroy. Let's see the little type. Can I feed one of the monkeys? No, my boy. Let's be patient. Hello, Marjorie. Hello, Anki and Leroy. Hi. Good evening, Betty. It's a little difficult, isn't it? Holding the two bottles. I'll feed the boy if you like. You better let Birdie do it, Anki. I'll take them.  Yes, she, Anki. They take the bottle much better from someone they know. Well, they know me, my dear. They know me, too. Well, of course they do, but at a distance. I'm sick. Here. I'll take the little girl and let her finish up the bottle. You just came home from the office, Anki. You're tired. No, I'm not. I feel fine. You must be tired. You go out and I'll hold the baby while you rest. I could hold it while you both rest. Oh, she's going to sleep now. I'll hold her.  He's stuffed. Great. I'll carry him in, Birdie. I'll take him, Birdie. All right, Marjorie. You take the boy and I'll take the little girl. All right, George. I'm going to get a baby out of there somehow. Hello, folks. Yeah, Bronco. Where'd he come from? Yeah, hello, Bronco. Margie and I were just getting ready to carry the twins into the nursery.  Well, little daughter. Come to daddy. Hey, wait a minute. Here we go. You what about me? Maybe I'll hear something for you. Yeah, I'll what? You can carry the blankets into the nursery. I got them. Yes, sir. You can carry these. Four safety pins. The whole thing for themselves. They'd be different if they only had one baby. They have two. They can spare one. I didn't say anything. I'm reading the paper, Leroy. Uncle Mort, Bronco and I are going to the movie tonight. Would you like to go with us? Movie? No, I wouldn't care to, my dear. You and Bronco and Leroy go. I'll be the babysitter. But, Uncle... I don't think I'll go either. I should stay here with Uncle. But, Birdie's going to be here. Birdie can take the evening off. But you've never taken care of the babies alone, Anki. I've been around lots of other babies. They're all alike. Sure. They all operate the same. You keep out of this. Okay. Well, you do what you like, Uncle Mort. But there's no reason for you to stay with Birdie here. I'll take care of that. Birdie! That's the old fight, Anki. You coming, excuse me? Birdie, why don't you take the evening off? Oh, Birdie can't take this evening off. Mrs. Marge and Mr. Bronco's going out. And I've got to stay with the twins. Well, that's the point, Birdie. You don't have to stay. I'm going to be here. Yeah, me too. Mr. Gill, so, you mean you're going babysit? You, of course, Birdie. Have you ever babysat? Certainly. I've been around all kinds of babies. I don't know why everyone makes such a big hullabaloo about mining a couple of babies. Well, if you want me to go, Mr. Gill, I'll go if you sure you want me to go. Yeah, absolutely, Birdie. I'll stay if you want me to stay.  I'll either go or stay. Well, you go. I'll go or stay. Look, go. I mean go. Go or stay. Yo, Birdie, go, please. All right, what you say, go. I'll go. Well, at last. What else for a whole evening?  I'm only doing this as a matter of principle. I'm going to prove to a few people around here they're making a mountain out of a molehill. Of course, we may get a chance to look at the little tykes. Yeah, without somebody saying, go wash your hands. You, by the way, let's see your hands. They're clean. Go wash them with soap. Go for corn shake. Well, we're ready to go, Anki. Going with us, Mr. Gillerslee? But you might give Birdie a lift. She's going downtown. Birdie? Yeah, I told her to take the evening off. I'll be the babysitter this evening. On second thought, Marge, maybe we should stay home. Oop, Bronco. I really don't care about seeing the movie, Bronco. Why don't you go and I'll stay here? No, wait a minute. You go to the movie, Marge. I'll stay here with Mr. Gillerslee. A babysitter for the babysitter. I'd much rather that you'd go, Bronco. Why does anybody have to go?  I've never seen such a pair of worry birds. Somebody call Birdie? Were you going out tonight, Birdie? Well, that's what Mr. Gillerslee says.  Well, you go right ahead, Birdie. I'm going to be here. Come again? Your Marjorie isn't going to be here, Birdie. She's going to the movies with Bronco. She is, huh? No, she isn't, Birdie. I'm going to be here and Marge is going. Children, please. Well, I won't have you and Miss Marge Listen to me. You're taking the evening off, Birdie. I'd rather stay home, really. I don't mind staying. Listen to me. Listen! Yes? Are you listening? We're listening. Nobody is staying home except me. The babies are going to be all right. Now forget all this silliness and go to your movies and wherever you're going. There's a lot of nonsense. Maybe Mr. Gillerslee is right. Of course I'm right. These are not the first babies in the world, you know. There have been a few others. Don't probably sleep until we get back anyway. Sure. Come on, Marge. We won't be late, auntie. If you need us, we'll be at the Palace Theater. In the balcony. Goodbye, auntie. Goodbye, kitties. Have a good time. Well, Birdie? Don't look at me. I'm going. I've got... Good, Gillerslee. When you put your foot down, this family jumps. I've been gone, aunt. Yeah, they're gone. I was listening upstairs. What a battle. Well, I simply decided that you and I were going to take care of the babies tonight and that was that. Yeah. Just think we got the twins all to ourselves. Yes, sir. What do we do with them? We're not going to do anything with them. They're asleep. Let's wake them up. Here's an important announcement. Ford Victorious. Glamorous new 1951. Ford Victorious. Yes, Ford Victorious.

Well, it took a little doing but the great gilded sleeve finally got his wish. He shewed Margarine Bronco and Bertie out of the house and now for the first time the water commissioner and his nephew Leroy are babysitting with the twins. They've been at it about an hour so far and the score no hits, no runs, no errors. See, this is getting dull, Anke. When do we start having some fun with the twins? Yeah, me patiently, Leroy.  I am. Howdy, what's the use of babysitting if you just got a sit? Well, it is pretty quiet. I thought there'd be a little more activity. A couple of healthy youngsters like those. I think they'd stir around a little more. Maybe if we nudged them a little. No nudging. Yeah, but maybe they're hungry. It's a pretty trick not to wake them up if they're hungry. Let's feed them. Yeah, Leroy, Margarine said we could feed them when they wake up. Yeah, but time's going by. Pretty soon everybody will be coming home and we'll be out of luck. That would be a disappointment, all right. They slept right through. How do we know, Anke? Maybe they're awake right now. Maybe it's so quiet they think they're still asleep. Yeah, I doubt that, my boy. Gee, Anke, we haven't got much time. If just a little noise won't come up, that'd mean that we're getting ready to wake up anyway, wouldn't it? Well, it might. If we were just talking like this and that won't come up, that'd be all right, wouldn't it? Yeah, I don't think it's necessary to shout Leroy. We can simply use a moderate tone of voice. They must have the blankets over their ears. No, Leroy, stop worrying. If they're going to wake up, they'll wake.  I'll get the bottles. No, Leroy, don't get pushy. I'll take care of the bottles. Okay, I'll go in and talk to them. Wait, we'll both go in. Then we'll take the baskets into the kitchen. Babies like to watch the bottles being fixed. See, that's the little girl. What a voice. She's going to be an opera singer. That or a hog collar. There goes the boy. She woke him up. Come on, Leroy. Take a basket. Head for the kitchen. What a racket. Put it down someplace. Not in the stove. Pull the chair out of the breakfast now. I got no hands. Well, pull it out with your feet. I'm standing on them. Here, here, here. With the basket. Yeah, not this chair. Yeah, I'll put mine over here. Okay. Uh-oh, he's clogged up again. Yours is just lying there. The one that hollers. Well, do something to amuse it. I'm getting the bottles ready. What do I do? Go kitschy kitschy koo waggy. Kitschy kitschy koo? Sure. Babies like that. I can't do that. Go ahead. Get the milk out of the refrigerator and put it on the stove. What you cooking it for? I'm not cooking it. You want more milk for babies? No kidding. Yeah, dinner's coming, kiddies.  Watching every move I make. He doesn't trust you. He does too. He knows his friends, don't you? Good. Milk's getting hot. Better put it in the bottles. See, that looks good. Can I have some? Leroy, this is for babies. Okay. You feed that one and I'll feed this one. Boy, this is keen. We know how to take care of kids, don't we? Yeah.   What's the matter? Maybe the milk's too hot. You think so? Don't taste it.  Like this.  I shook some out of this, not. Something's wrong. What are you doing to that baby? What's the matter with him? How should I know? Come on, baby. Nice milk. Whole bottle. Oh, my goodness. What do we do now? Put them back in the baskets. Keep an eye on them, Leroy. Don't leave me alone. Stop shouting, Leroy. You better close the door. Good old Phoebe. You'll be able to help me. Shoot her. Phoebe's pharmacy? Oh, Phoebe? Mrs. Gildersleeve. Oh, no, Mr. Gildersleeve. What can I do for you this evening? Phoebe, I need some advice. Quick, I'm taking care of Marjorie's twins and they're raising the roof. What'll I do? Well, I don't know much about babies, Mr. Gildersleeve. Mrs. Phoebe and I never had any of our own.  What do you give babies when they cry? Well, what do they want? Well, I know what they want. They're just yelling. Have you tried milk? Yes, I've tried milk. They cry all the louder.  Babies like that. What are you talking about, Phoebe?   It's a game. You'll play it with their toes. I haven't time to play games with their toes. Well, there's always patty cake. Patty cake? You'll play that with their hands. Phoebe, you get some of the silliest ideas. Yeah, well, I'm not trying to take care of two babies. Oh, yeah. Oh, my goodness. Can't you suggest anything, Phoebe? Mr. Gildersleeve, this is a drugstore, not a day nursery. Fine drugstore. Phoebe, you're no more a druggist than I am. Well, I wouldn't say that. No. See you later, Phoebe. Fine things. Marjorie and Brant will walk out and leave me with the babies. Run off to the movies. Irresponsible kids. Leave me with no instructions. Two babies on my hands. I just... See? Be quiet. Maybe they're going to sleep again. Leeroy. Quiet, Uncle, dozing. Save by a miracle. Marjorie and Brant will come home and find the babies crying. I'd never leave it down. Oops, darn doorbell. Oh! Both away again. Who's in that compounded door? Good evening, Gilder. Well, your happy home seems to be ringing with the voices of little children.  What's wrong, Gilder? Tell me in the house, Judge.  Oh, I'm so sorry, Gilder. They seem to be quiet now. They... They are. Don't breathe. Where are they, Gilder? In the kitchen. Come on. You'll make a sound. You're making all the noise. Quiet, Judge. Oh, there they are. Just as quiet as they can be. They'll make a sound. Anybody. I'm bushed. You see, Gilder? The little darlings knew I was coming and they're on their good behavior. Look out, Judge. Don't lean against that cupboard door. Your pants in there. Judge! Judge, now you've done it. You stay here. We'll have no rats leaving this sinking ship. They're hurting my ears. Give them a bottle, Gilder. Oh, my goodness. Back door. Here comes Bronco and Mandrie. Well, I think I'll go out the front door. You stay here. Oh, it's Bertie. Oh, am I glad to see you. What's the matter with the little darlings? They've been crying long. Shall we tell her? There's something seriously wrong, Bertie. I've done everything right. Got the milk out of the refrigerator, warmed it, put it in the bottles, but they won't take it. Is this the milk you gave them? That's it. That's not a milk. Yeah, but they would be buttermilk. Oh, brother! Never mind. What are we going to do, Bertie? What are we going to do? We have to get them quiet before Bronco and Mandrie come home. Well, let me take a Mr. Gilder sleep. Knock here, Bertie. Now go on to sleep. Night is drawn to bed without a tea. Bless you, Bertie. Anything Mr. Gilder sleep? Fine. Everything's just fine. How are the babies? They're in bed. Did they give you any trouble? Trouble? There was nothing to worry about? Yeah, I guess you're right. They're pretty good babies. Yeah, as Bertie says. Just perfect, dangerous. Right back.

As you know, April 1st marks the beginning of Invest in America Week. And tonight, we are honored to have as our guest the chairman of the Invest in America Week Executive Committee, Mr. W.G. Paul. Thank you. On behalf of the Invest in America Week movement, I am happy to make this presentation. The Invest in America Week Executive Committee takes great pleasure in citing the Kraft Foods Company and the National Broadcasting Company for presenting Willard Waterman, whose intelligent and understanding portrayal of the great Gildersleeve has contributed immeasurably to the public understanding of the role of the individual in building America at the community level.  I speak for all the Gildersleeve family. What a fine fellow. Good night, folks. This piece is played by W.Waterman, the show is written by Paul West, John Elliott, and Manning White. It was used by Robert Armbruster.  This is John Easton saying good night for the Kraft Foods Company, makers of parking margarine and those other famous Kraft quality foods. Be sure to listen in next Wednesday and every Wednesday for the further adventures of the great Gildersleeve. What's the difference between a sandwich that's really super and one that's merely good? Here's the answer. Kraft's prepared mustard. When you add a little mustard to cold meats or cheese, you add a lot of tang. Hidden flavors pop right out. That's better. There are two kinds of Kraft mustard, you know. Kraft's salad mustard, mild and delicately spiced, and Kraft mustard with snappy horseradish added. Have both on hand for different tastes, different uses. With either kind, when you add a little mustard, you add a lot of tang. Get Kraft's prepared mustard. Hear the Falcon every Sunday over the station. Check your newspaper for time of broadcast and listen next Sunday as it allows the case of the worried wife. Listen for Irrepressible Groucho Marx on NBC.


All right, welcome everyone. Yeah, my name is Kanika. I'm a program lead responsible for creating a new support and innovation program at Wikimedia Germany. And I'm very, very excited to run this session, host this session. It's my second Wikimania, but the first time running a session at Wikimania. So I'm super excited. Welcome to the session on how to innovate in free knowledge. And I would like to use this opportunity to talk about new pathway, to promote new projects for free knowledge and to attract innovators joining our mission. And by the end of the session, I truly hope that you guys could gain insights into our lessons learned of the program that we've created called Unlock, that you have been inspired by new innovation driving formats since Unlock is not a typical project grant support. And last but not least, that you could get initial ideas on how to implement such a program by yourself or you are even interested in co-create and co-host Unlock with us. So let's deep dive and why do we have this conversation? Why new pathway? Why innovations? And because we want to unlock the journey towards Wikimedia 2030. And as you all know, we want to become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join. And one of the elements to reach this as we consider our social and technical innovations. So new ideas, new impulses and also new people joining the program. Next one, the slides here, right? So innovation has become a buzzword. I know that I'm aware of this and I would like to define what exactly does this mean in our context as it means to expand the range of free knowledge project. It also means to explore different content formats, to find innovative and diverse modes of consuming and contributing knowledge as well as create pathway to new projects. All of this combined will hopefully drive us in building the sustainability of the movement by investing in people in communities who are working on new projects for free knowledge. And on the other hand, this commitment with strengthens our innovative power of the movement. So all this lead us to the guiding question of the session. So how to? And we give me that Germany designed and implemented the Unlock Accelerator which supports teams that are working on new free knowledge ideas, innovations or initiatives through coaching, exchange and collaboration. The program was piloted in German speaking areas last year and was scaled to Europe in 2021. I would like to give you a closer look at the program setup because it's interesting as I mentioned before, Unlock is something totally different compared to a typical project grant. So we have defined a program that is three months long, pretty structured and cohort based in terms of there are teams selected to the programs that work independently but also cross team. So and of course, since it was launched last year, we kind of redesigned the program to become completely virtual. So we have a three month structured cohort based virtual program divided in kind of three in teams and cross team working phases. So and each team has a dedicated coach who provides product and project development support. We also organize need-based supports which means we look for experts and people who can help these teams further develop their project with expertise, knowledge, input, inspirations and access to a network of free knowledge people and even beyond our free knowledge Wikimedia and universe. And upon application, there's also scholarship provided. Unlock is a very hands-on program and here I just want to share some kind of screenshots of what our project teams are doing during the program. And as you can see here, our coaches, well, you cannot see our coaches but prototypes that have been done or built during the program, but our coaches and expert help participating teams to advance their skills through methods transfer and help the teams validate their ideas. You can see here tangible prototypes which is really like a box that you can see over there but you can also see sketches of an app how it's supposed to look like or a first wireframe or mock up of a platform that the teams have been building. Just to give some examples what types of projects are supported by Unlock. So last year we had a project called Audiopedia which is an open source web application that provides audio content related to day-to-day topics such as health or diet or nutrition, making audio learning free and accessible especially to non-readers in developing countries. And this year we have a team of wiki data community members who are developing an open platform that gathers and makes publicly available all governmental online accounts and services. And these may be official websites or social media accounts sorted in an online directory creating easier access for the general public. Below on the right I included a link to all the project teams that we supported last year and this year. So there's a range of projects that we do support and you can just check out and see what kind of projects are in the program. And as you can see they are somehow different, completely different from the wiki media projects right now and there are projects within their faces and yeah kind of inter linkages to existing wiki media projects. So we are looking for this kind of diversity not only to create new format tools and stuff that are directly related to existing wiki media project but also to expand the range of knowledge content formats and tools to reach our goal. Unlock is perfect for people and teams who want to put things into action. So it's open for a diverse audience ranging from open source developers and activists to social entrepreneurs and creative minds as we call them from different disciplines. Your project should be at early stage with a ready or almost ready prototype and it doesn't matter whether you have been a long-term wiki media project community members or are completely new to the movement. I think as long as you have a team and first sketches of your ideas and want to put things into action and obviously this project's ideas fit to our vision then this one might be the right program for you. What are key learnings after two editions of Unlock? Just want to sketch out some key learnings here and share them with you. In the two editions we have received 80 applications so far and we could support 10 projects teams and I mean last year five prototype have been developed and this year another five prototypes are hopefully to be developed by the end of the program. The feedback from the teams in 2020 were mostly positive. They assessed the program content and our support is very helpful especially the coaching so very need-oriented and expert session and I think also that Unlock could pave the way for their further development. However, this is kind of the limitation that we are facing right now is that the continuation and also sustainability of the project is up to the teams themselves. Another learning is that at both and in both editions we are quite happy with the outreach to new audiences who have not been part of the movement and are still working on solutions that can contribute to our vision and so this was something that we try to accomplish and can see that this was very successful in our doing and in our outreach work and also when scaling in 2021 this year and open up towards European area and European people and project teams we had a high diversity of applications from different European countries and even beyond.  So covering a lot of yeah, South and Western Europe but we also have like people beyond Europe people coming from India project teams from East Rail and Cameroon even. So I'm very, very excited and very, very happy about this diversity of applications. Another key learning is also that interestingly our scaling to the European level was a little bit bumpy in terms of applications in general why we receive very positive feedback in terms of website visits skyrocket and people started to follow us on Twitter and share our call in their network. We did not have received as many applications as in 2020 and looking back we cannot really kind of clearly pinpoint the one reason why application dropped and here we just listed or I just listed some assumptions and observation from our side that will surely be considered into account for the next edition. So I think that we kind of have a two narrow thematic program focus. English might be a challenge as a program and working language. The brand unlocked by Wikimedia is still too unknown and we acted alone when scaling to the European level and there are probably more competing programs at that level. And we also still see have been facing consequences of the pandemic. So I guess people will become soon fatigue and there are generally fewer new ideas and interests in that kind of time intensive program like this. What next? We want to continue the unlock journey in 2022 and beyond focusing on the promotion of projects and communities that have been underrepresented in our movement and focusing on the expansion of the program with a partner either from the Wikimedia movement or and beyond that. Now your turn. So if you want to unlock your ideas and are interested in the program and are wondering what's happening now and when is the next edition starting check out our website and follow us on Twitter. If you are interested in unlocking new pathways and interested in also how to design and implement such a format like unlock, reach out to us for insights, for more learnings for how to and how not to, for templates so whatever it comes into your mind. Yeah, write us an email at unlock at Wikimedia.de and if you want to unlock collaboration and are interested in partnerships in terms of co-creating and co-organizing the program with us contact us as well via email. Thank you, that's it. Not quite sure, five minutes left, I see. Is that true? No questions so far. Yeah, I think maybe just some notes from my side. Take a look at the website and just check out some projects that we are currently supporting or have been supported. And I think you can also see we usually provide information about the project teams. You can reach out to the project teams as well, especially I guess for those who are already active in the Wikimedia movement and get some hands-on, first-hand inspirations how is it for them could be also interesting. And the second edition, so which is running right now and we are supporting five project teams currently will end by the end of September and I think on October 6th, please I need to double check that, but I guess it was October 6th, there will be a demo day. So at the demo day, all project teams will present their prototypes that have been developed during all the programs. So here again, we will also continue this through our channel, especially through Twitter, our Twitter account and yet invite all of you, the whole communities here to join for the demo day and have a look at the projects and their prototypes as well. Yes, I think that's it. I don't know whether there are still some questions. Let me check the etherpads as well. Ah, I think there's one here. Have you served with teams that have gone through unlock before, during and after? Yes, we did. I hope I have still some time for these questions. And yes, we did. And we have like a baseline questionnaire asking what are the expectations? During the program, we have a regular check-in with the teams. So every four weeks, we check in with them and try to discuss what are the challenges, what are the needs, how can we address them during the program? What are things that are kind of beyond of the program and have to be addressed afterwards? And then there is also a post-program questionnaire. And at the stages, we try to take a look, okay, what were the needs? Could have that been addressed by the program or not? If not, why so? And if yes, how helpful was it? And I think most of the program elements were evaluated and rated as very, very helpful to the teams, especially as I mentioned, the coaching and also the experts that we brought in to the program. I hope that this answer the question. Cool. All right. I mean, the presentation, I upload the presentation to the session side. So for you just to take a look or re-watch or re-look at it again. And if you have any further questions, yeah, just reach out to me or to us, the Unlock team will quite happy to answer your questions. I think that's it from my side, right? And yeah, thank you. And thanks for joining. Hope to see you guys somewhere in person again at the Wikimania. But until then, have fun at the Wikimania. Bye.


Now, for perspective, I'm still on the overall anatomy, the chunk of skin that provides us with all the layers of the skin, but again, I already told you we're focusing in on the epidermis, which what kind of tissue is the epidermis made out of? You can do it recall, push, pause, and really try hard to remember the name of this tissue. It was stratified squamous epithelial tissue, and let me break that down for you just a little bit. Stratified means the tissue itself has multiple layers, and we're going to see that really clearly when we look, we're going to zoom in on where the box is in this picture. So stratified tissues have many layers, squamous describes the shape of the cell at the top of the tissue. So the most superficial cells, their shape tells you that it gives you that part of the name of the tissue. So stratified many layers, squamous, squamous it means that the cells on top are flat, epithelial tissue and epithelial tissues line spaces, which do you agree your skin is lining a space like outside of you is this space that is not your skin. So stratified squamous epithelial tissue has, we can like dissect the term and have a sense of what that actually means. Let's zoom in and take a closer look at this stratified squamous epithelial tissue. Do you agree that we have multiple layers here? And remember that this is, I don't know, should we say this is the outside? This is superficial, and this is deep. And we're going toward the dermis. In fact, this right here, the light pink stuff is dermis. It's a different kind of tissue. It's not an epithelial tissue. We're not going to talk about the dermis. Say that for anatomy folks, but we have this entire thing starting here. I don't know. Can you see that line? I feel like that line isn't very clear. Let me try a different color. There. Do you see that line? That's where the stratified squamous epithelial tissue begins. That means that this whole thing is epidermis. Do you agree that there's like a doodoo load of different kinds of cells in that space? Do you also agree? What did I say about where did squamous come from? It comes from the shape of the cells closest to the space. And this shape of these cells, like look at how flat they are. They're flat. They're also dead, but that's another story, also another story for later. They start out not dead and the first cells that we're going to name are the deepest cells in this tissue and they are called basal cells. And I just drew some squares around these guys. These are basal cells. And these guys are responsible for basically giving rise to every other cell. Every other cell you see came from the division, the reproduction of one of these basal cells, with the exception of one other cell that I'm going to show you in just a second. All the other cells, basal cells are generative cells. They produce more cells. Once a basal cell divides and produces more cells, the basal cells stay there. They continue to produce more and more cells.  And those basal cells are like, don't worry, I got you slough away. That's cool because I will just regenerate. I know people in my family who are glad that those basal cells continue to regenerate the sloughing off skin. All the cells that the basal cells give rise to are called keratinocytes. Couple things to notice here. First of all, check out the, I don't know, whatever, the last part of that word is site. Keratinocytes often refers to a cell. Melanocyte refers to a cell. Keratinocyte refers to a cell. These cells actually produce A, here we are about to go into some other levels of organization. Keratinocytes produce a protein called keratin. That's interesting. And the protein, the keratin protein that they produce actually ends up killing them, which is how they end up being all dead at the top of this conveyor belt as soon as those basal cells reproduce. They begin this conveyor belt to death where they fill with keratin. And thankfully, the keratin makes us waterproof and it keeps us protected from abrasions. There's all sorts of good things. Thank you, basal cells, for making keratinocytes that die for us. Helpful. But they, they produce that protein keratin in the process. What other cell are you like, dude? Where's the most important cell? Do you see the most important cell? It's, I know that's the wrong color to pick for the most important cell because you cannot see. Let's see if I can circle it in. Does that work better? That, my friends, is our melanocyte. Melanocyte, whatever. The melanocyte, the keratinocyte is a cell site that produces keratin. The melanocyte is a cell site that produces what do you think? True story, the melanocyte produces melanin. And in the next section, we're going to talk about how, how does this cell produce melanin? Okay, come back and let's talk about it.


Kia ora, Tafano. I'd like to just take a moment and honor my ancestors, very specifically my mother, who passed away five years ago today. So I'm inviting the spirit and love and light of Terri Lynn Hines into the space today. I'm going to ask you all to do me a favor really quickly. I know you have things in your hands, but I want you to take your hands and put them together like this. Create some heat, some friction, feel some things, right? Make them real warm and real hot. And then I want you to take those hands. And I want you to put them on your heart like this.  And then I'm going to ask you to listen from that space because we can't create an equitable space world.  We can't create a blockchain that doesn't replicate violence and oppression in the world if we don't build from this place, right? And so the work that I do is as the founder and radical executive officer of the body is not an apology. We are a digital media and education platform focused on radical self-love as the foundational tool for social justice and global transformation. Essentially, I just mean that we can't build any of those things we said we want to build without building the infrastructure first inside of ourselves based on our relationship with our own beings and our own bodies and then translating that work into the work that we do in the world to create a more equitable, just, and compassionate planet. Because that's the one I want to live on. I don't know about y'all, but that's what I want to do. So I want to share about how we started because I don't think it matters as much what we do as how we do it, right? The spirit in which we create the things. So many years ago, about 2010, I am a performance poet by trade. If you didn't notice, I'm a little theatrical. I like to say I came out of my mama with jazz hands, which was really uncomfortable for her. But as a performance poet, about six years ago, I was in Tennessee preparing for a competition with a team of folks, and I was having a conversation with a friend who was afraid that she had an unintended pregnancy. I'm nosy, and I get in your business if you let me. There are a couple of people in the room who will attest to that who have, like, raise your hand if I've gotten in your business. Yes, look at that. Oh, I've been in so many people's business it makes me happy. And so I asked her what made her make the decision to have unprotected sex with this casual partner that had her in the situation that she was in. And she shared with me that because of her disability, she had cerebral palsy. It made it difficult for her to be sexual, and so she didn't feel entitled to ask the person to use a condom. And my response to her in the conversation was, your body is not an apology. It is not something you offer to someone to say, sorry for my disability. And when I said those words, I believe that language has the possibility to create. Obviously it does, because we wouldn't be here today if it were not for a word that created the opening in space, right? And so I opened that space with your body is not an apology, and I knew that it would become a poem. And so I'm going to share the poem with you that this idea came from. The body is not an apology. Let it not be, forget me not, fixed to mattress when night threatens to leave the room empty as the belly of a crow. The body is not an apology. Do not present it as a disassembled rifle when they have yet to prove themselves more than common intruder. The body is not an apology. Let it not be common as oil, ash, or toilet. Let it not be small as gravel, stain, or teeth. Let it not be mountain when it is grass. Let it not be ocean when it is sand. Let it not be shaken, flattened, or raised in contrition. The body is not an apology. Do not present the body as communion, confession. Do not ask for it to be pardoned as criminal. The body is not a crime, is not a gun, is not a spill to be contained, is not a lost set of keys, a wrong number dialed. It is not the orange burst of blood to shame white dresses. The body is not an apology. It is not a father's backhand. It is not mother's dinner late again, wrecked jaw, howl. It is not the drunken sorcery of contorting steel, round tree. The body is not calamity. The body is not a math test. The body is not a wrong answer. The body is not a failed class. You are not failing. The body is not an apology. It is not a cavity, not a hole to be filled, to be yanked out, not a broken thing to be mended, be tossed. The body is not prison, is not sentenced to be served, is not pavement, is not prayer. Do not present the body as gift. Only receive it as such. The body is not to be prayed for, is to be prayed to. So for the evermore tortile 10th grade nose, hallelujah. For the shower song throat that crackles like a grandfather's Victrola, hallelujah. For the spine that never healed, for the broken heart that didn't either, hallelujah. For the sloping pulp of back, hip, belly, Hosanna, for the errant hairs that rove the face like a pack of misplaced wolves, Hosanna, for the parts we have endeavored to excise. Blessed be the cancer, the palsy, the womb that opens like a trap door, praise the body and its blackjack magic, even in this. For the razor wire mouth, for the sweet God ribbon within, praise for the mistake that never was, praise for the mistake you never were, for the bend twist fall and rise again, fall and rise again, for the raising like an obstinate Christ, for the salvation of a body that bends like a baptismal bowl, for those who will worship at the lip of this sanctuary, praise the body for the body is not an apology, the body is deity. The body is God, the body is God, the only righteous love who will never need repent. Thank you. From those words, a movement was birthed. And from that movement, a company was birthed. A digital media and education platform focused on how we transform our relationships with the body so that we can transform the world to the place where all of our bodies are allowed to live in the divine equity and brilliance which we were inherently born into. You don't have to become, you already are. Our work is to remove the obstructions that keep us from blossoming into the most radical unapologetic transformative versions of ourselves that the creator has destined for us. Thank you. Thank you.
