patreon page the link is in the video description how to go no contact with narcissists whether it's your relationship partner family member friend or anyone else a narcissist will affect you and your life in such a negative way they will abuse and manipulate you devalue and degrade you publicly humiliate and exploit you they will develop an obsession with controlling everything about you and your life the longer you are around them the more your life will adapt to the way that they want it to be and that's never going to be anything good narcissists are pathologically envious and jealous any happiness satisfaction or fulfillment you experience will trigger them to reflect on how miserable, dissatisfied and unfulfilled they are with their lives you were specifically targeted by them so that they could use you to regulate their self-worth self-esteem and their emotions for this to work they have to be able to look down on you you have to be worse often than them in every aspect of your life for them to relieve the painful feelings they have of being worthless and insignificant they have to project these feelings onto you they have to make you feel worthless and insignificant they have to do certain things to you to make you feel hate or anger towards them they have to manage your life in a way where you have nothing or whatever you have they will always have more than you this is designed to make you envious or jealous of them the reason for this is because narcissists are pathologically envious and jealous they are full of hate and anger they do not self reflect or look within so they can never resolve these painful feelings their way of temporarily relieving this pain is to project those emotions onto you so this is why they will obsessively abuse you to make you feel hatred or anger towards them this is why they will obsessively control you or manage what you have to make you feel envious or jealous of them they are already hateful and angry towards you as whatever a narcissist has they can never be satisfied or fulfilled while you could have the bare minimum and still be happy so because of this narcissists will be pathologically envious and jealous of you because whatever you have whatever you do or experience as long as it is positive it will reflect on them and how miserable dissatisfied and unfulfilled they feel for them to regulate these emotions they must control or manage whatever you have do or experience in life as long as you are in contact with them this is all that they will do they will abuse and manipulate you devalue and degrade you publicly humiliate and exploit you control everything about you in your life they will even control other people's perceptions of you and the environment this is designed to keep you in a box to prevent you from hurting them or causing a narcissistic injury remember anything you have do or experience has a potential to trigger them to reflect on how miserable dissatisfied and unfulfilled they feel so you will endlessly feel as though you are walking on eggshells afraid to achieve or obtain anything afraid to do or experience anything because any little thing could set them off i have had experiences where i was afraid to even open my mouth and talk or even leave the house once the narcissist has micromanaged your life and placed you in the box any little thing could trigger them and they could even become physically abusive towards you as long as you stay in that box the narcissist is able to use you to regulate their self-worth self-esteem and their emotions but once you step out of that box and start achieving or obtaining things having experiences this will trigger the narcissist to reflect on how miserable dissatisfied and unfulfilled they feel they will become hateful angry envious and jealous towards you because they don't self reflect they will not accept responsibility for how they feel instead they are going to blame you for their feelings they will then abuse manipulate devalue and degrade you even more in an attempt to regulate these emotions the narcissist does not acknowledge that maybe you might want to achieve or obtain something or have experiences the narcissist sees you as an extension of them someone to project their negative qualities and traits onto or as an object that exists to serve them narcissists are self-absorbed and lack empathy it's all about them they will only use you for their own gain this is not a healthy or productive way to live you are not allowed to achieve or obtain anything more than than the narcissist you are not allowed to have your own experiences outside of the narcissist you are not allowed to experience any form of happiness satisfaction or fulfillment any form of fun depending on your situation you may not be allowed to have a social circle a job hobbies an interest your own money maybe you're not even allowed to leave the house this is really damaging to your psychological emotional and even physical health you have free will to do whatever you want in your life and no narcissist has the right to take that away from you so if the narcissist is controlling your life trying to stop you from living your life you really need to get out of there when you are going no contact from the narcissist you need to detach your emotions from them you need to stop thinking about what they are doing or how they might be feeling about you go going no contact with them you need to stop ruminating on past events or anticipating any hoover attempts the narcissist might make focus on yourself focus on improving yourself and your life focus on your recovery make the most of each day don't spend too much time sitting around at home this will only give you more time to think about them you may do you may need to process some experiences and emotions from dealing with them set aside some time each day where you can focus on these thoughts and feelings if you start thinking about them while you are going about your day just remind yourself that you have set aside some time for that the narcissist may try to hoover you they might try to test if you are still interested or emotionally attached to them you must continue to go no contact do not respond to any form of contact from them they are not looking to benefit you in any way they do not have your best interest in mind they are only looking to use you for whatever it is they need in that moment if you see them in person do not start a conversation with them if they decide to talk to you use the gray rock technique i have talked about this in my video how to cope with an narcissist if they ask questions give yes or no answers do not open up to them do not reveal any of your thoughts or feelings do not hold long conversations tell them that you need to go you have things to do remember narcissists use conversations to emotionally abuse and manipulate you it is also a transfer of energy when you are having conversations with them you are absorbing their negative energy you have to be consistent with no contact or it will not work the narcissist might test you to see if you are still interested or emotionally attached to them they might try to make you laugh or act as though they have something to give you they will want to return to the love bombing phase so that they can secure you as a source of supply all over again you have to remain consistent while you were with the narcissist they learned you they know how to push your buttons they know what might make you want to come back they know what would normally make you respond to them remember they are predators they study your behaviors this is why you have to be consistent with no contact once you go no contact with the narcissist you will be able to live your life the way that you would like you will start to recover your energy you will become so much happier it can be difficult at first as you may have developed a trauma bond or attachment to the narcissist but over time this will go away and you will start to recover from the abuse as long as you stay with the narcissist nothing is going to change or at least nothing will change in a positive way it usually gets worse as time goes by as they begin to normalize their dysfunctional behavior and become hypersensitive to any little thing you might achieve obtain or experience they then have to abuse you more and more to get the same relief rush of adrenaline or excitement they had when they first started abusing you this is how backhanded compliments or put downs can soon turn into physical abuse rape or even murder abuse is progressive it escalates with each episode this is why you really need to go no contact even if you haven't experienced any physical or sexual abuse narcissistic abuse is more damaging it can cause brain damage mental illnesses complex post-traumatic stress disorder adrenal fatigue and many more psychological emotional and physical health problems when you go no contact with the narcissist you need to be cautious rejection will cause a narcissist's injury which could lead to them attempting to harm you in some way some narcissists will even harass and stalk you for years you need to be very careful around these types of people especially as you are going no contact as you never know how they are going to react once you have caused a narcissist's injury going no contact will affect them they might have an arrested development but they are still human they still fear loss psychopaths might be different they feel fear but have trouble in automatic detection and responsibility to threat but narcissists will be affected by you go no contact it will cause a narcissist's injury they will feel that you are withdrawn from them and they will be emotionally affected by this they will become anxious and they will be thinking about you some narcissists may harass and stalk you even after you go no contact they have a sense of arrogance and entitlement in their mind you are an extension of them or an object assigned to serve them when you go no contact with a narcissist you are sending them a very powerful message you are telling them that you can live without them you do not need them this will also make you feel more confident having this independence of them will boost your self-worth self-esteem self-assurance self-belief and self-respect you can live your life without their obsessive control without being abused and manipulated every day no more devaluation or being degraded no more public humiliation or exploitation you can be free to live your life the way that you want to live you can develop social circles start a new career have hobbies and interests you can recover from narcissistic abuse and have healthy relationships you can be what you want to be do what you want to do you can be you thank you for watching i hope this video resonated with you please like

Hi, my name is Tracy Takehame Espinoza. Welcome to Digital Learning Promises and Possibilities for the Science of Learning in a Post-Pandemic Educational Landscape. This will be a three-part series in which we're going to talk about ideas from a macro to a meso to a micro vision of changes that have been catalyzed by COVID. The first part we'll look at changes in assessment and feedback, looking at curriculum design, as well as how time and space have shifted in education now. And finally, looking at this new student profile and what does this mean for the future of higher education specifically, but also general implications for lifelong learning. In part two, we'll be looking at a medium or meso level structure that considers instructional design and the use and implementation of distinct tools for teaching in a digital age, which are often choices made by IT departments or by administrators, but which directly affect teachers' abilities to leverage the possibilities of technology in their classrooms. And finally, at part three, we're going to look at this micro level of student-teacher interactions. What types of pedagogical practices have been shown to work equally well, for example, online, as in face-to-face? And how can teachers learn to leverage that? And what does this mean for teacher training? How will changes be made to the ways that teachers get ongoing professional development, to continue a professional development throughout their careers? So I'm really looking forward to seeing you. Take care. If you have any questions beforehand, don't hesitate to write. Thanks.


On a normal night in El Mar, a few chubby couples would swing around the dance floor to the strains of a local bachata band or some overdressed drunk guy with a keyboard and a drum machine. Old-timers would lean against the corny, paper mache coral reef, sip their drinks and mutter about the hoveness. Occasional cops and paramedics would pass through to grab their super strong cacitos and flirt with the decadent waitresses. The night would pass with that cool, slow-stepping rhythm that allowed folks to believe for just a few hours that they were still back in the embrace of a warm Caribbean island. But Culebra was in full swing when Sierra walked in and instead of the usual laid-back El Mar scene, a sweaty mass of punks, teeny-boppers and hipsters pulsed and churned to the music. The tables and chairs had all been cleared out and the crowd was throbbing against the coral reefs, hanging from the mounted captain's wheel, dancing along the hallway to the restrooms. Sierra tried to peek above the swarming bodies and see if there were any corpuscules, which are zombie dudes, lurking, but it was too dark to make anything out. She glanced around, trying to keep sharp while Culebra's lush sound washed over her. Plain acoustic always freaked out, Juan. He'd get unbearably talkative and jittery and then pass out for an hour before the show. But the results were mesmerizing and tonight was no exception. His old Spanish guitar spat out a series of warm labyrinthine phrases that wrapped melodic vines around Gordo's fierce piano hits. As the two instruments wound intricate loops, Pulpo, the tall, dark-skinned bass player and lead singer unleashed a torn of feverish pounding notes from his stand-up, throwing his head forward in an avalanche of braids on each downbeat. The music grew like a fog around a crowd and then, with only a sly rimshot for warning, the drums kicked in full thrust. Ruben, a lanky light-skinned Dominican with a finely-trimmed goatee, rained thundering blast down on the kit while his brother Kaz came in with a suave toot toot toot toot on the congas. The crowd exploded. Sierra let herself get swept up in it, let go of the fear and sadness that had been haunting her limbs since their visit to the printing press and danced. Ruben's driving beat moved inside her, shoved her lovingly into motion. Sierra closed her eyes, then let them open ever so slightly. There was no mistaking at this time. Tall, long-armed shadows high-stepped in a flowing circle inside the club. When her eyes opened wide, everything went back to normal. She willed herself to calm down, felt the excitement of the crowd while thrashed off her brother's music, closed her eyes again. Much to her own surprise, she felt safe.  They were dancing too. The whole band moved as one now. All five heads thrashed up and down as the song kept swelling to more ridiculous heights. The shadows spun faster, their long strides reaching over the heads of the writhing crowd. The spirits were protecting Juan, Sierra realized. He didn't need her warning about Wick. He was safe. She exhaled and let the moment sweep over her.  Then, just like that, it was over. The room let out a collective sigh of satisfaction and then burst into cheers. Juan looked up from his guitar with that smug smile and nodded at Gordo in the band world into another number.  Gordo's voice boomed out. Thank God, Benny gasped, collapsing against Sierra. Hey, you all right? The shadows had retreated some. They stood swaying in the dark corners of the room as the song spun to life. Manny's face lingered in Sierra's mind. It's nothing. She blinked her eyes all the way open. Just Manny, we'll find him. I know. I'm all right. Good for you. I'm a sweaty whack disaster up in this mess. Benny said, you were doing all right, B, Jerome said. Actually, Sierra said, sweaty whack disaster was their first band name.  I'm too winded to laugh. The music wound along gently, a stroll in the park, but occasional drum bursts and off-kilter chimes from Juan's guitar gave a sinister edge to it. Cuando la luna llena, grunt popo in a rich, haunting vibrato. I always had a thing for popo, Sierra said. Benny nodded. Voice like that? Who wouldn't? Matal solansiano. Word said T, who'd come up behind them with Izzy when the music slowed. I don't even like dudes, but that dude is fine. Izzy shot T, a pained face. What kind of a lesbian are you? T shrugged, one that can appreciate a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. Ben a los cuatro caminos, a los cuatro caminos ven.  I don't even know what he's saying, but I know that's gorgeous. Who wrote this, Sierra? Juan did, I guess. He writes all their stuff. Mujeres solitarias. I think it's on their last album, she said slowly. It sounds kind of bana bailar. Wait a minute, four sets of eyes swung around to Sierra. Did he just say, Mujeres solitarias bana bailar? Sounded like ban the bar bar to me, Izzy said. So yeah, he probably did. Ban the bar bar, babe. Really? T left. What about it, Ben, he said. It's the poem, Sierra gas. The song. Mujeres solitarias, lonely women. Bana bailar is they go to dance. You mean the poem that you were trying to figure out at the coffee shop? T said, yes, Sierra yelled. The one that tells us where Lucera is. Soy el susuro, pulpo sang que doyes. I can't believe it, Sierra said. It's been in my ears all this time. I had it on my headphones while I was painting yesterday. I just couldn't hear the lyrics because on the studio version, it's much before she could finish her sentence, the band exploded into another thundering onslaught of metal drums and speed guitar. The crowd burst back into motion. Pulpo was still singing, but his words were lost beneath the clashing layers of music. T and Izzy had already disappeared into the thrashing masses. Something like this, Benny yelled into Sierra's ear. That would explain why you had no idea what they were saying. We can ask Juan after the show. That was true, of course, but those few words, that taste of the answer, it was teasing Sierra.  Mata al sol anciano, cuando las sombras, a writhing body surfed along the top of the throng up ahead. People pushed and shoved all around, como la bala de una pitola, like a bullet from a gun. It wasn't just a game anymore, Sierra thought angrily as dancing limbs and torsos slammed against her and fell away again. Manny had vanished. Corporal skills and throng hints were popping out of the shadows. She had to find Lucera if she wanted to stay alive and get to the bottom of all this. And to find Lucera, she'd have to figure what all poble was screaming about up there. Something was wrong. People rushed around her, not in the rhythmic chaos of a mosh pit, but in true desperation. Benny grabbed Sierra's hands. Come on, space cadet, we out. What happened? Fight, he said, running past with a wily grin on her face. Izzy came next, holding tight to T's hand and cursing out someone behind them. Yo, you need us to mash someone up for you? Did Sierra say catching up with T? Now, we got that covered, T said. Let's just get some fresh air. Kulebra was scrawled in ridiculously large and colorful letters across the tinted windows of El Mar. The club sat squished in between a barbershop and one of those odds and end stores that sells everything from 3D Jesus pictures to porn to pogo sticks. A train rattled along the ancient metal caterpillar over Fulton Street and sent a cascade of rainwater onto the exiting crowd. What did you guys do, Benny said, when they regrouped outside the front door? This greased-in corn ball and tight pants thought he was gonna get slick with us, Izzy said. Asked us which one was the girl in a relationship. Sierra put a hand over her eyes. Oh, Lord. T told him, you are, broke his nose. Damn, Big Jerome said. High fives and backpats were doled out lovingly to T. She blushed and waved them off, but you could tell she was flattered. That's my baby, Izzy said, nuzzling her way under T's arm. Did you figure out the song? Sierra, T asked, Sierra shook her head. I couldn't hear a thing once it got crazy. I guess I'll just ask Juan, as if on cue, Sierra's brother had strolled out of El Mar with a big, tired grin on his face. He looked even tinier than usual next to Gordo's ginormous, lumbering bulk. Sierra ran up to Juan and hugged him as tightly as she could. That was amazing.  Thanks, sis. She held him at arm's length and glared in his eyes. Now, where'd you get those lyrics to that last song? I mean, it's a poem that Abuelo used to always, I knew it. What's going on, Sierra? The riddle. Didn't I tell you about the riddle that says where Lucera is? No, I must have forgot what everything going on. Doesn't matter. The text of the riddles and those lyrics. You had them memorized by heart? Yeah, but would you let go of me now? People are staring. Sierra didn't let go. Tell me, man. Gordo was doing what he always did.  Don de las mujeres solitarias, banana by love. Thank you. Thank you.


what what's up everyone how are you today let me know if you can hear me or if you can not hear me because they don't have a mic on I'm just hope you can hear me. I have a vamp, Amy and Susan just getting situated. Our dear fam Tressa D came in. Not a little Tressa, the other Tressa. So here's how this looks. Hello from New Waverly. Still sounds like a fun place and I know it is if you guys are there. So after we wrapped the live yesterday I went through and kind of fluffed out some things. I took a lot of the ink off that's in between a lot of GG thank you so much I took a lot of the ink off in between the tentacles so I'm just gonna show you guys how I did that like what my process was I'm gonna go through this area here. Paint pen highlights to the little frillies on the outside of the tentacles all of these and then either gold paint pen the frillies and gold paint pen that way it kind of stands out because right now it looks kind of two-dimensional. It's kind of flat looking. Well thanks you guys. Y'all are amazing. Thanks for coming in and watching me today. If you're new here hi hello what's up I'm Erica. We're artists till death. We go live every weekend at 6 p.m. Central except for Tuesdays it's at a different time. Tuesdays at 2. 2 o'clock that's the number I was looking for. So all the colors that I'm using. It was listed yesterday. I'm using the same ones and 91% isopropyl alcohol. And I'm using a something Princeton art brush. This is a super cheap little synthetic fiber machine. And so what I'm doing in this part is essentially making the color that we put down relief so it's getting pushed back into itself and that's what's creating the awesome dark lining that you see. It's kind of what catches my eye with alcohol in it. But like I said yesterday I'm having a hard time keeping track of what's the inside of my tentacle and what is the outside of my tentacles. So I'm not even using any color. Thanks you guys. I'm not even using any color right now. I'm just using clear 91% alcohol to push my existing color around. You can just put like drops of color drops of alcohol and let it push your existing back or you can do kind of what I'm doing right now and physically move the lines and pull up the color. I'm wiping my brush on a rag after most every pull because you probably can't even see it. The color is soaking up into the brush which is why it's kind of disappearing from my board. So I'm just going to finish this one line and then we're going to move on to using some stonk coat countertop art coat to seal this bad boy. Stonk coat? What's up? How are you doing? We'll be seeing you guys soon. If you guys don't know, stonk coat art coat is best in the biz and we use it to coat our artwork to seal it in to protect it and to really brighten the colors and to bring more depth to the leaves. That's what we use. It's kind of a secret ingredient that's not really that secret because we tell everybody because it's so awesome. It's always cute. That was CG wants a chip floor. I'm hoping that she'll be helping me do my mom's floor coming up. I need to put us all in a book chat. Yeah, that bathroom floor, my dad's old bathroom. I didn't have to like remake that whole thing. Well, they put another just floor like wood down and then you can just pour on it and then it's a floor and that's how science happens. Full disclosure, I'm not a furniture or anything similar. So I thought about dotting some yellow into this. Okay, that's not yours. Come here. So with our art, how have you been? Judy's here. Okay, so now I have my color down. Pretty happy with how it looks. I'm going to add some more of my pen lines because they kind of adjusted when I was refining my lines after the life was over. So I'm going to use another Posca pen, but this is a fine point Posca pen. I'm just going to add my sketchy lines back because did I even paint it if there's not sketchy lines everywhere? Probably not. The lines aren't for everybody. Totally get it, but they're for me, not for you. That sounds horrible. For you guys, it's for you guys, but if like a regular person was a regular person, if a not fan was looking at this and was like, I don't like it, that's what I would tell them. It's not for you. So now we have our jellyfish. I feel like I should do something more up here actually. I researched a little bit today, jellyfishes. Not a lot, not enough to say I know jellyfish, but I feel like I want to put a little bit of design. I'm just going to put some dots of just alcohol, just using the alcohol, not using any color. Just letting the alcohol push back the color that we already have down. This is one of the magical parts that I think in alcohol ink is how you can paint with clear, and it's going to do something awesome. I guess I could zoom in on this top bit. Air bubble outline possibly. These aren't going to be exact circles because alcohol doesn't like to move evenly. At least it doesn't for me. Maybe you have better luck with using 91% alcohol. RK3 and ATD are going to Australia at some point soon. Tim with color passion wants to know if you're going to be there too. And he said, I don't know. Let me ask some questions. So you don't have to come up with an answer now, just noodle it. I can't tell you what month we're supposed to be discussing it on Friday. Also, I keep getting asked where we're going to be when we're on Australia. I don't know. But as soon as I do know, I'll let you guys know because pretty sure we're going to be teaching some classes in resin, not alcohol ink. Sue has been fam from close to the beginning. We have gotten to meet her before and you would love to meet her. Very talented. I know I said before I'm almost done with the alcohol and we're going to move on to detail. But I'm mean at this time. And I said, where is everyone watching from? Okay. I like that a lot better than before we added these little dots. Diggin' it. So Jeff already started adding these dots down here. B, if you get bored, you can come help me put these dots on just because they amount of coverage. For one, so we never use a paint pen before you have to kind of charge it.  Under that. Under that. So I just did it where, yeah, not, not what I'm doing. That's very, so what I did is I noticed like either like right here, here. It's like in a dot. Why don't I just do a couple dots next to each other? Okay. It's like in one of the dots so that it looks like that part is glowing just in that little spot. Okay. Yeah. I'm glad you can work on that. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to like cover it. You're just doing it where there's a dot. I fixed my mistake here. I give it enough. It just makes it look like those parts are glowing. Put a black light on this. You can see how that's kind of a lot. So I'm just going to tap it out. Yeah. I tried to use some over here in the pink to see if it would turn orange. So we're just creating the illusion of glow by putting these dots in the center of loops of color. I also say that we're giving it a highlight. You see that? Nice ring, Jeff. Oh, yeah.  This is going to be one of those like mythical, so many done.   It's just needed a little some extra. And so that's what's on some extra. Someone were to ask me, what is a good piece of advice on how to be a successful artist? I would say, get you a partner that also artists. Then when you get in a bind and you're like, I don't know what I'm doing and where to take this now. So you should say a seasoned artist. One with flavor. One that's been around the block a couple times. Just one that knows what they're talking about. But then there's I'm sure new artists are like, what about this? Have you thought like they'll come up with ideas and you're like, I would never think of that. That's actually one of my favorite parts about teaching classes is there's always students that put color together that I'm like, what is in your brain that makes you think that's okay? I don't say that out loud. I'm just like, I wouldn't put this color together. And then they make it into something fully magical. I love I love those moments and I feel less than in those moments where I'm like, I didn't call him old. When you read that, I was like, who's that? Yeah, shut that when I was using a flamethrower aka the torch. I don't know, that's Mitch. I wonder if it's like a so Mitch this little torch. It's brand new. I don't know if you guys use these. I know you use them. But when you when you tip it and you're doing the torch, it goes out constantly. It throws a ball of fire and then I know you're not supposed to go real close. So you back off and it just it just keeps going out. Do you know what might be causing that? When it fireballed on Tressa, she said that it's because of the nozzle that's on it, maybe. I think it's a different nozzle than they usually use. I don't know. I mean, that's a nozzle for that. So why? I don't know. I don't know. If you do, then it might like, either take over, you might have to put a lot and then it'll and if you put a lot, then obviously it'll take over. If you put a little, you would have to really do a lot. I don't know. I honestly, I don't know. Maybe if you did, like if you, maybe if you did, like some very thin. Thank you, Jane. Yeah, there. So I'm currently out of Stone Coat Art Coat in my shop, but you can get it from StoneCoatCounterTops.com using the code YAL, Y-A-L-L, all caps, no punctuation for 15% off at StoneCoatCounterTops.com, not on my website. I'm out. What does, when you put resin over this, doesn't like make it go like a really weird, or does it keep it? It was fine last time, but when we did it and then put UTC over it, it dulled it. Well, we call it, well, thank you. Give me a shot. If it doesn't, then it doesn't. We'll put a dot of another color on it. J.J., when you said you liked his ring, I thought you were talking about his wedding ring, not that beautiful looking turquoise one. That worked really well, because they have those extra, like, you know what I mean? These are the stairs. These are the stairs. We sell these on our website now, right? Like these guys. That looks so fun. I assume you don't need a reference. I'm going back to the, you guys come down. Hey, Tim. I'm going to bring you guys on a ride for one of Jeff's tentacles. And see, that's what I mean. Like if you do it thin, then it's not overpowering. But it's still gold throughout the whole thing. Yeah, it will get coated. Love it. I was going to say, I need a couple that comes out of, yeah, even if they don't go all the way down, so it just doesn't get too busy. Give us a motion. And it's very subtle. Maybe bring one, like, out from behind here, or do we want to keep some empty? Just glad you're here, Tim. Oh, thank you, Gina. Do you think we should add a something gold in the top of it? Because it has all this awesome reflectiveness. If no, then no. Do extra dots, smaller dots, bigger dots? I wish I had just mixed into my, maybe I'll put just, like, the tiniest bit of oak lawn in my resin way. It's hard to see it. They can see it. Thanks, my love. What happened to your mic? I'm charging my phone. That's sweet. It's starting to look like a hot mess success. Now, typically at this point, I would splatter a whole bunch of color on it. However, there's so much going on that I'm going to not do that because it's not over. So I'm going to start mixing some resin and then we can discuss, I guess. Then we can discuss what else we want to do. Switch out these buckets. But like I mentioned before, the resin that we use is stone coat countertop, art coat, super long working time. It's heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It has no smell and has a great viscosity. And it's very shiny. Super glassy finish. It doesn't leave a ripples like I've had with some brands. You know, some brands, it just doesn't work out as well. Good change. Largely successes with stone coat countertop. What time is your bike ride? Eric, will I have something to be there? Sorry guys, I'm trying to un-stuck my button. Even though it's un-stuck, it's still not turning on. What's wrong? I can't get my this to work. The thing that you always touch with resin and... Yeah, but even when I get the button out... Is it? What's up, Julie? Hey, Jerry. Thank you, Sharon. I do love the piece as well. It is going to be available. We are interested in this piece or any other piece that we've done on the channel. Shoot me an email. Or if you want a commission piece, shoot me an email. So I haven't hand-mixed my resin in a while because I've had my stand mixer. Thank you, Jerry. I've been wanting to do a squid for a long time. I'm going to do a squid and I want to do a frame mantis for some reason. I'm going to do an owl. I want to do a lily. TG says Eric, be careful with that torch. The fuel tank can link from the nozzle you have. That's not dangerous. Some glow-in-the-dark mica. I thought about that by putting it down and then taking some and adding some glow-in-the-dark and then just painting it with it like torching it all out and then painting the mica in it like the glow-in-the-dark and then barely hitting that baby in it. So that doesn't... You're not heating it up a lot. Have you want to mix it in this resin that I have from earlier? It is at a very deeply consistency. Eric, is this on board or on case? No, I don't think that it's... It will. I just have to push the button a million hundred times. This is actually a melamine board. And I have my builder drill out hangable holes in the back of it. It did decide if it wants to work. So I'm just not going to worry about my stand mixer right now. I'm just going to do it. Be advice says hi. I really like this color combination as well. Aqua and pink and of course the purple that it makes. It's always a great color combination. 60 seconds to go. Sweet. The next stir too. I'm a really understandable board so that's no good. Thanks for letting me know. There is a heart in the way and I can't... What brand of ink did you use? Jerry, I used some piñata, some Blick marker refills, and some Copic marker refills. And I think I even used a Spectrum Dwarf Yellow. Time's up. Love it. So now we've mixed for three minutes. Thank you so much JJ. I have the best mods. Now that I have it mixed, I'm going to make sure I have no swirls of color. Excuse me, I have no swirls of resin. That would indicate that it's not completely mixed. We're good. Let me grab some oak lawn. Then I'm sure I have somewhere over here. Let me get it from my shop. I got some oak lawn. Let's do this a little bit at a time. Oak lawn will take over. Did you actually just add a glitter right now? I'm using some oak lawn, which is a glitter powder. It's a really, really fine glitter. I guess I can show it to you in my master jar. I love oak lawn. And crazy thing about it is that the particles kind of lay in such a way that it always looks like it's in a rainbow when it's on the piece. Too much so that it makes everything look gaudy or cloudy. But I want to put enough in that it's noticeable that it's there. Thank you so much, Shane Carpenter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We're always happy to help. So it has just a little bit of that amazing disco ball. Thanks yesterday. I did manipulate them a little bit more today. But honestly, I don't see a little bit that I pushed them around. I don't see that it's going to change down enough to really worry about it. I'm going to get my paintbrush in the other way. I'm graceful as well. What a good amount of pizzazz. The colors already looked super awesome and vibrant as they were. But now with the addition of the Stone Coat Art Coat resin, the depth of tone is going to stand out more and the colors are going to look more vibrant. Because essentially I'm making the inks look wet and glossy again. And great thing about resin is they will forever be glossy now that we have resin on it.  You can do all of those things. But I like the feel of the resin and maybe that's just me. And if it is just me, that's me. I don't think it is just me, but I don't think it's just me. I was talking to Tressa when she was over here earlier about how relaxing it is to put your hands in resin. What do you guys think? Do you find it stressful or relaxing to work with resin? Comment in the chat or down in the description box. Nope, the chat box. Nope, comment box under the video. One day I'll learn what the words are. Okay, so now I'm pretty sure we have everything covered. I'm going through and kind of making sure it, and resin is going to self-level. I don't know, but I'm going to, it's a little bit heavy down here at the foot. Try to redistribute. All right, let's put some fire on her. Him? Her. Bit. I should have put some glowy stuff in there. So I don't want this too thin. I only pushed the resin to the edge. I wanted to dome. And if you get the resin too hot, then it'll be too thin and it's going to thin out and run over the edge and it's just not going to look as nice. So I'm only adding enough heat to pop the bubbles that are on the surface. More bubbles will come up, but I'll be back in the gossipy of the resin that you use. You really don't want to use heat beyond an hour, because then you can end up putting ripples in your surface that wordy in there to begin with. Can we give them a flyover before we say adieu? What everybody thinks? Sorry for the movement, y'all.  Yeah, I don't want to get it too hot. Yeah, the gold stayed really well. It did. It didn't brown or dull really. It's fun. Oh, you put a little sparkle in it? Did. Very nice. And these are great. That is like so fun. So here's what I think I'm going to do for my next jelly blob. I'm going to do the head of it, right? I'm going to do the mushroom. And then I'm just going to use my, what is that? A paintbrush and pull color down with just clear alcohol. Nope. Yep. Just the 91% alcohol. Because that's what I did with this one. I just used clear alcohol to like a wake up. The alcohol inks are right here. So I just put clear, regular, 91% alcohol and like just brought it down. Yeah, that's fun. That's great. Okay. They kind of can like, it's a purple light over it. You'll see it in a second. Like you can, you can kind of see it. Aquarium people buy this for your venue. Agreed. They can't see it. Okay, I feel better. So you guys, I like to see Jeff do his take on this type of picture. So you'd like to see Jeff do a squid or you'd like to see Jeff do alcoholic? Or you want to see him do his version of what I did exactly? I think I would overthink it is what I would probably do. Sorry for the look, y'all. All right, you're ready for your, well, you did have a close-up. Yeah, so sorry. A beautiful homeless person. Pick stuff during the days. I wake up, orders and art and today we had a whole bunch of other stuff. Anyway, thanks for watching what we're doing today. I hope you enjoyed it. And that was short, well, I guess it wasn't, it was, it's an hour. I really like working with alcohol inks on top of doing resin and all the other stuff that we do. I need to work with inks more. But that's all for today. Tomorrow I have to drive down to Rana's to check on my big ol' yellow table. Yellow. My dad got a yellow table. I'm just doing honing in color, doing some color correction on that piece. So if you guys want to see that process, I guess in the chat key. Thanks, Donna. Cheers. I'm going to bust a line and turn my brain off from today. Thanks, JJ. You guys are amazing. I hope you enjoyed it. Hope you try it. If you do, tag us at our Facebook group, ATVs, four people. We love to see what you guys are creating. It's a great place to get ideas and share ideas and help other artists as well as get help for your own artwork. And yeah. I have a class coming out May 13th. Dallas, Texas. And Dallas. We're working on Australia. So if you have a place that you want us to come in Australia, also comment down in the bottom or send me an email. And yeah, be kind to one another because you never know what's going through. And always remember we do the tests. Look at him as a little fan. He had a rough day at Puppy Daycare. He did. All right.  We will see you tomorrow. Bye.


The pandemic caused many Tunisians to change their dietary habits, with some consuming more unhealthy foods such as processed meats, sugary drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Additionally, many reported experiencing appetite variations, with women being more likely to consume unhealthier foods than men. Furthermore, elderly individuals were less likely to experience negative changes in their dietary habits compared to younger adults, while those who had not completed their education were more likely to report negative changes. Overall, these findings suggest that the pandemic has had a negative effect on Tunisian citizens' dietary habits, leading to potential increases in obesity rates. To address this issue, public health officials should use mass media campaigns to promote healthy eating habits, particularly among illiterate and young populations.

that when this building was built in 1984, it won the facility of the Year Award by the National Architects for Athletic Facilities. And it has served Gustavus fantastically. But we know how things have changed, particularly the emphasis on fitness, and the way that Gustavus teaches in its fitness and all of the types of classes that it teaches. And so we needed a new facility. And thanks to the generosity of so many Gustys, we're gonna have it soon. The door will actually be right where you see it. But if you're looking right behind you, that brick wall will be completely gone. And this will be all open space and it will be a really nice entry into the building. It'll still be one of the things that, about the new building that was so nice was the second level, was kind of the spectator level and people could move from event to event. And this was the participant level. And it will still say primarily that, but anyone can enter in this building. But it'll just be very wide open. The hockey arena right behind you will stay primarily the way it is now. So mostly ice. Yes, it'll stay there and we'll be able to have it in year round because we'll be moving the Nobel conference into the forum. Some of the major events that will be built and set up now and commencement will also, indoor commencement will be held in there at a larger capacity. So it will be ice most of the time. Okay, that is very cool. All right, should we walk? Let's do that, yes. And so if you see where Gus is looking right over here, this area originally when the building was all lockers here. And then when they really realized that we needed space for fitness, which is something that has exploded in the years since Lund has been built, this now will be completely gutted and this will be all locker rooms here. Really? And one of the things that will happen is that every single varsity team will have their own locker room. This entire area will also be the equipment issue in the middle, in this entire area out to the wall and the athletic training will be right in the middle. So what if Gus wants to elliptical? Like he loves elliptical. So now Gus will have quadrupled the space to exercise in ellipticals that he has now in this space. Oh, Gus, this is your lucky day. And this is going to be the number one priority for this new building is to improve the fitness facilities for all of the students and faculty and staff at the college and that will be the number one improvement in this facility. It'll be very exciting. All right, should we keep walking? We can, we can walk right this way. There also will be a much larger locker room for the general population to be able to come in and use and to exercise and to be fit. All right, that's awesome. Are we going in here? We can head right in here, yes. Badminton class. So generally this space will stay the same but it will be entirely renovated. It will put entire new track in this place, all new bleachers. It will be the wood floor, which you see right now is just the one main basketball floor will come out to about three quarters of the blue. And so we will allow to have now all of our basketball teams practicing in the four to six and six to eight. We won't have to go to that eight to 10 slot. And then that will open up for intramurals to come in here and have the use of the entire space in the legitimate hours of the evening, which is something in the past for those that have been involved in intramurals know, well, go in at 10 30 and play until midnight. Now that will be a much better use of the space will because we'll be able to have our teams practice earlier in a much larger wood court. Okay, so that's super. And all new bleachers you said, so what do you do with these bleachers then? Do you just put them like up in your backyard? So I thought that you were purchasing them for all of the people that are coming up to see your show in the Twin Cities. I'm gonna need one of these. All right. And you will not enter here. You will now enter at that end of the building, which is the west side of the building because that is the area that is going to join the new field house, which will be the largest indoor facility in Minnesota, other than the University of Minnesota. Can we say that again? The largest indoor facility in Minnesota. How do you just whisper the last word? But the new entry will come into this side of the building and people will actually be able to come down to walk onto the floor for Nobel and commencement. And so they will enter this building and the stage for Nobel and commencement would be at this end and then the bleachers would be out and be set up to seat about four to 5,000 people. What? For a major event. Wow. In here? In here.
