Hey, what's up everybody. I thought this might be interesting to some of you guys. I was going through my pedals and I'm getting ready to rearrange them in my studio and hook them into my recording setup here and I thought I would set them up once more in the configuration that I used a couple years ago when the band that I play with self was able to open up for the Killers on a couple of shows in the Pacific Northwest and Canada and this is the setup that I used for that. Obviously, I had better wiring. This was all taken apart from my previous couple of moves but I just thought I would piece it back together similar to how I had it but I'm just using these longer cables and it's not very neat right now but you can imagine it once was very tight and let's see it all fit. Let's see inside of this bag right here which is pretty great. It's Mr. Power. I just found this little gig bag and pedal board on Amazon and thought it was pretty good for what I needed to use it for. It's got Velcro all over it. All right, so let's run through these pedals real quick. Obviously polytune, this is my tuner. This is very well lit up. It has a feature where you can just strum all of the strings and it will show you which ones are out of tune but I never used that. I just do individual strings and from that we're running into the Boss Noise suppressor, the NS2. This is pretty much needed because I've got some high gain stuff going on over here and it just really kind of helps not be quite so noisy with some of the guitars that I play and then let's see that goes into the Whammy and the Whammy does a lot of stuff. I pretty much only use it for a lower octave or a higher octave. I use it on a couple of songs with the lower octave for like a heavier octave pedal thing and then I use it on the higher octave on a couple of things for like fake 12 string type parts and I use the flurb or something on the Holy Grail to kind of make that sound a little more like a chorus 12 string. Anyway, so that goes into this pedal, the Gray Stash which is a pedal by Fuzrosius that my friend Matt Mahaffey told me about and we got similar pedals. These were custom made. I wanted to get sort of the same thing that he was using on his recordings so that I could kind of match the tone a little bit. This is a pretty interesting pedal. It's got a switch here and this one has got three different circuits in it. I always use the Germanium circuit. It's got a couple of these other transistors in here but the Germanium one is obviously the best sounding one. Let's see it goes from there into my old DM3 analog delay. I've had this pedal for a really, really long time. Probably has the original price tag on it of like I think that says 125 bucks or something and these are probably worth a little bit more money these days. I've had it for a long time and I love that pedal. It has some really great analog delay effects whenever you start twisting these knobs and all of that. I'll demo some of that in just a few minutes and then it goes from there into this Holy Grail pedal. This is just a simple reverb. I like to kind of have this in a pedal as opposed to using the reverb in an amp because usually when we go out and play shows we rant amps and I only carry a guitar and a gig bag and a pedal board and so I like to be able to control my reverb and it's got a spring and a hall and a flurb and this flurb is sort of like what I would use like a univide for but obviously small pedal board I need to kind of condense so I try to get the similar sounds out of the other pedals. Yeah so I've only got one high gain pedal here mostly because we were playing an opening set and it really didn't require multiple varieties of distortion but typically on my bigger pedal board I'll use this Route 66 which is like a tube screamer and a dyna comp or something I believe in this. These were made by a company in Tennessee and I love this pedal I've had this one for a long time and I've even got yeah there was a remake of it that's slightly smaller but I prefer the the older one that I've got I've had this for like 20 something years probably. Anyway let me get a guitar plugged in and I'll run this through my amp and I'll show you guys kind of what some of this stuff sounds like. Cool so let's go through this pedal demo here I've got my Jazzmaster on this is not the guitar that I used I didn't have this guitar when I was playing the last set of shows I think I used a Gretch Electromatic just to kind of a cheap a couple hundred dollar guitar that I could take on tour but we're going to go through all this with the Jazzmaster Bintera right here because I think it sounds pretty good and this is what I would use you know today if we were able to do some more shows which you never know anyway so once again tuner I'm already all tuned up noise suppressor this is pretty much already set the way that I use it I'm not going to change that you know whammy pedal I've already kind of gone through all this so let's just start out with some clean tones so let's see we'll tab this off and let's see let's let me just show you what the delay in the holy grill kind of sounds like. On the amp setup I'll just show you here real quick because in the other room I've got an isolated amp and it's running through a little microphone here into my Apollo X4 and into Logic and that's the guitar sound that you're hearing it's pretty straight through I think maybe I have a Neve preamp for the UA stuff but other than that it's pretty much just the guitar through the pedalboard through my little quilter amp. It's a solid state by the way it sounds sounds great for a solid state amp. Anyway um you know this is a clean sound a little bit of flurb on that here let's see what that kind of sounds like let's see what kind of has that effect. This is what I use the whammy pedal for the octave like a pretty cool sound. All right um so that's pretty much what I use. Chipped over do some dirty stuff I hope you guys probably like that let's turn everything else off except for turn on the gray stash here and you probably hear right away this here um kind of spec a little bit when I go to the middle position this is just kind of the noise thing I've got going on this uh vinteria jazzmaster I'm gonna line the the cavity with some uh copper or something pretty soon but anyway pretty good draw sound trying to sound there let's see you in this cranked wide open right now in the sustains I can pull it back a little bit let's see this is my other uh big sound that I use I do the whammy on the octave press this down and then I've got like a missing sustain almost a jack-wise sound but you know self uses that sound quite a bit for that it's pretty big just with one one guitar there and obviously you can hear the noise the press for kicking in right there if I had that off it would be a little bit noisier uh so you know that's pretty much it uh for what I use this stuff for let's see like if I needed some big solo sound that would probably kick on this and that and


11 ways to make the Narcissist suffer forever, when you are around a Narcissist it causes you to lose confidence and hope, it causes you to feel distress and annoyance. You know that how they are treating you is not right and now you want to give them a taste of their own medicine. You want them to have the same unpleasant experience that they have given to you. These 11 ways will trigger the Narcissist. They will make them suffer forever. 1. Don't give them attention. Don't take notice of them. Don't regard them as something interesting or important. Don't accept or recognize the truth or existence of their qualities or abilities. Narcissists love admiration and validation. They want to be regarded as impressive or worthy of respect. But they also feed off negative attention. Any attention you give to a Narcissist will motivate and encourage them. They often prefer negative attention. If you are still affected by the things they did to you, they can exploit it to deepen the trauma bond. They can exploit it to keep you enmeshed with them. But if you take away your attention it will make them suffer.  They cannot survive without attention. They don't know how to feel special or important on their own. They need to be in your head at all times to feel alive. To feel like they exist too. When they're told no. Narcissists are expert manipulators. They are used to getting what they want. They've spent their entire lives charming people to meet their needs.  Which is why if you tell them no they will get very angry. They don't understand why you would deny them of something. They have no empathy so they are unable to share your experience. Even if they tried to understand it they would refuse to accept it. Free. Loyalty and commitment. Narcissists demand and expect your loyalty and commitment. They expect you to comply with their demands. And in their minds loyalty means you have no right to cheat on them. But they never consider their role in the relationship. They never consider that they should be loyal and committed to you. They never consider your needs. Because they're too preoccupied with their own emotions and desires. If you try to hold them to any form of loyalty or commitment. It will irritate them. It will make them suffer. Because in their minds they are the authority. They should be in the superior position. They should be the ones who make the rules. While you are supposed to follow them. For. People. Narcissists hate people in general. They don't tend to have many friends. And if they do. It's usually just people who validate their false self. Narcissists are always criticizing people. They are always complaining about them. If you do one thing wrong to a narcissist. They will hold it against you forever. If you make one mistake. They will never see you in the same way ever again. Narcissists cannot deal with anyone who doesn't fit into their distorted worldview. They cannot deal with anyone who is different from them. They cannot tolerate the idea that other people are more intelligent than they are. In their minds they are special and unique. They should only be around other people who are special. Other people who have a high rank of social standing. They cannot deal with people who live in reality. People with strong boundaries will be unable to tolerate them. They will realize that the narcissist cannot provide them with love or respect. Five. Facts and statistics. Narcissists hate reality. They hate the truth. They don't want to accept things as they actually are. They would rather reinterpret it so that it suits their agenda. When a narcissist is communicating with you. They will use speech that continues at a tedious length. They will talk for a very long time with a lot of emotion rather than logical reasoning. They have a lot to prove in every conversation. They will take any opportunity they get to display their grandiosity. They will make biased views that are distorted to meet their particular philosophy of life or conception of the world. They believe that their view is always the truth. But when you use facts, they already know that they're at a disadvantage. They hate it when you respond with facts instead of emotion. When you use facts, they see it as an attack.  They will display exaggerated or uncontrollable emotions because they feel out of control. They will try to force you into submission by throwing a temper tantrum. But this should only reveal their immaturity. They cannot understand facts. They cannot have an adult conversation. They don't use facts because the facts don't benefit them. They don't support their distorted worldview.  So when you use facts, it throws them off their game. 6. Authority. Narcissists hate anyone who has the power or right to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience. They don't want to answer to anyone but themselves. They see it as though authority takes away their desire for power and control. Narcissists often get into trouble with authority. They are eager to fight or argue. They are offensively impolite and bad-mannered. But if you confront them on their behavior, they will deny it or try to justify it. When the narcissist has to deal with someone who has authority over them, it causes them to suffer because they are forced to comply. They are forced to deal with it rather than trying to evade it with denial or justifications. 7. Consequences. Narcissists cannot deal with boundaries. They cannot deal with limitations or restrictions. If you try to set a boundary with a narcissist, they will get very angry or they will gaslight you and try to put the focus on you as though you've done something wrong. Or they might even apologize and promise a change. But they will never take the steps to make that change. Narcissists cannot deal with consequences because they can't accept when they're wrong. They can't understand how anyone would ever think that they're wrong. But even if they could, they wouldn't care. Which is why they hate boundaries or serious discussions. They will just use it to intimidate you and force you into submission. It gets to a point where most people just give up and let them do whatever they want. 8. Failure. Narcissists cannot deal with failure. They cannot accept that they have lost. If they think that they are going to fail at something, they will do whatever it takes to win. They will cheat, lie or steal. Whatever it takes to get ahead. They are sore losers. They cannot accept defeat. 9. Shame. They cannot deal with a shame and embarrassment that they experience when they lose or fail. They have weak fragile egos. They depend on other people to support their false image. So if you don't see them in the way they want to be seen, it makes them suffer. They have to be seen as being superior. They have to be seen as the expert authority. If they're not, they will get very angry. Or they will pretend like it doesn't bother them. Only to later take revenge. They will try to discredit anyone who is a real expert authority. They cannot deal with shame. They will do whatever it takes to disown it and to project it onto someone else. 9. Vulnerability. Narcissists cannot deal with vulnerability. They cannot be vulnerable with you. They have no empathy. They cannot share your experience. They cannot put themselves in your shoes. They can access your vulnerabilities. But this is only on a cognitive level. They hate vulnerability. They hate having to express their emotions. They see kindness and compassion as a weakness. They see it as something to be exploited. 11. Free thinking. Narcissists hate it when you think for yourself. They hate it when you form your own opinions and beliefs. They want you to see everything their way so that they can go forward with their agenda without any difficulties or opposition. If you think for yourself, the narcissist will become very angry. They will try to make you doubt yourself. They will try to brainwash you into seeing things their way. They're never going to accept that you just have your own thoughts or ideas. They have their own distorted worldview. And in their minds, that is the one correct way to live. Thank you for watching. I hope this video has made it with you.

hello that's it that's the intro we just got home from comic con it was a blast i'm never doing three full days again two days is plenty we thought we'd make a video going through how it went with the panel on my end and you meeting some very cool celebs on your end sort of goes through some stuff we got which is just out of frame for you isn't that fun where do we start oh i don't even know your panel let's do friday well i met up with philip hawkins sort of half an hour before the before we went in at starbucks and we were waiting for dom and rory to come along then we all went to get the speaker badge so that's when the trouble started it was a bit of a rigmarole a bit of a run around so we got to the west entrance which if you've been to the comic con before you'll know is the one with the stairs we asked a few security guards and we kept just sort of being bounced around like pinball and then none of them knew where to get the badge so i had to get out my phone with the comic on app and say look that's my name here's my id proof that i'm here can i go in and he said yes but don't get me in trouble so he gave me one of the bands which i believe is this blue one for this for the friday and i went in with the other three who did the same thing they showed their id proved it was them i got our bags checked we asked the bag people and they said go to s9 uh which is all the way down the other end so we did that it was shut the shut up was down so then we went back to the information desk who then told us what we had to do was go through s7 and then to s9 so we had to do that instead of just forward uh so we did that i went to the wrong booth that yeah and then finally i got there didn't have the q car q qr code they knew that it was me and i finally got my speaker badge which is now my one of my most cherished items that i will never snap and i love it i buffed me i buffed me it it goes in a fire that would be saved there we go that's the tier list that's the tier yes uh after that i pretty much went straight to the creator stage which is where my panel was and i set up i got the chance to set up early there was a lovely man there who i did a mic test with and i looked insane because there were people just passing just passing by and i was just going testing ignore the man with the mic testing one two three i haven't got the footage i should get it in the next couple weeks i don't know when this comes out but pardon me they didn't have a tablecloth on the table yet so i put my community show thing down and then the second i finished the panel they brought out the professional black tablecloths because sawed us we're not good enough for tablecloths a comma card i don't want to say too much about the panel now because i want the video itself uh to show it off but i think it went really well you weren't there for it work wouldn't let you come it was sad but it was okay because it was you know he did really well i think well what i saw he did really well so that was good and it seemed to be a good turnout a lot of people yeah that that is what surprised me unfortunately i don't think you see it in the footage and i didn't take a picture of it because i'm sick but there was about 20 25 people in the audience and they were really engaged they were laughing i did a q and a at the end people putting their hand up had questions it was absolutely wonderful uh so thank you if you're one of the people that was there it was great fun um myself dom rory and philip were all so grateful that you turned out a big thank you to dom rory and philip for for being my guests you did a phenomenal job and i look forward to sharing uh what a phenomenal you know phenomenal job you did we're tired okay it's been three four days for me two four days for you well you pretty much went from work directly to there too so it's we we had a great time but we are tired yeah should we start going through some stuff and then stories will probably come to us yeah so we'll start with saturday what are we doing saturday job well for saturday well the only thing i can remember we specifically set out to do was watch the loki panel yes we did the auditorium was where the loki panel was happening um and we didn't know that but people would already been in there and queuing in there since nine o'clock in the morning and that panel was like a one half past of twelve oh half past twelve or half past one it was it was insane and the poor guy who was revving up the the crowd at the beginning he was like thank you for sitting with me for three hours and 45 minutes probably longer than you thought we'd have to so you know it was insane so we watched the live stream didn't we from we did we're just really good they knew damn well that it was going to be a big turnout so they opened the main stage as well to watch a live streamed version of it which is weird but that means we had the pleasure of that dj oh the loud music they gave you a headache yeah well i was really ill on the saturday evening it was sick beat it was good and then when it came on it was really good and everyone was participating and listening and watching it was just really nice to to see him talking about everything and all of them talking about you know loki that we've all obviously watched during lockdown everything and that was nice and then we obviously wandered around didn't we we did we had to meet up we did have the meet there was a doctor who cosplay meet up i met with george sheared for the first time we'd been uh de-eving a little bit beforehand but i remember he was at comic con so i sent him a message and uh he came on over he's very tall if you've if you've never met him before he's very tall i thought he was stood up a few steps because we met on the steps outside and i thought he was a few steps up but i looked down and we were on the same step so i felt very small i was very small but to be fair that's because a lot of people that came up to me were very small yes that's true that was wonderfully all i said i i need to get more people i know but that meetup was really good and like at the beginning it was very awkward because no one really knew where it was happening and you could see some people over there and some people over there and never was just kind of waiting for it to conjugate in the middle it came together and then no one knew what was going on a few pictures were taken so in in my one of my uh big big out moments i uh ran to the front of the group we got my phone out and said i don't like doing stuff like that but i was like you know what i've hosted a panel i have to be relatively outgoing now yeah everyone would say asi and that was really good but then me and george were just you could see george in the background george wasn't he wasn't cosplaying either so he just like was standing there and then went we should probably get out of this photo because we're not we're not even involved in this technically so we just like backed out as soon as i took that picture then everyone else like around started taking pictures as well so i was a trendset it was almost like oh my god i can't get the photo of all the nerds but the problem is when i jumped in to do the pictures as well i haven't seen any of those pictures i only have the ones of everyone else which are lovely pictures but i'd love to see one so if anyone has one please send it our way trust me my vein i would literally make a like a photo album of just yeah be repeating people and there were so many people who um stopped you as well there was so many people um we were handing out um we had little business cards which had jack's um like uh twitter handles stuff like that in there yeah yeah we still got a few still a few and we were giving them out so that people could actually send it to us like tag us in it because it was really sad i think the first time we went wasn't it that few people took pictures but you can't you don't see them because people post them on their own facebook or wherever and you just don't you don't see them so we thought if we gave them out people could actually send them to you or thank you or look up your your channel and stuff like that so you know it was it was quite nice to do that so if anyone has them please send them our way as we're recording this as said it is the Sunday evening so you know people are probably still heading home from the garden so hopefully we'll get some more my first merch story i want is to do with this oh okay this is one of the first things i bought this is a present for jemma it's an ace it's a little ace but i think i took a picture of a bunch of the things that because there was a bunch of woollen doctor who he goodies so i bought you that yes and so the day after when i joined that was on the friday so when you came to join me on the saturday we then went back and completed the set i had to get him oh it was just so cute together aren't they it's coming in hair i know it's coming in hair but they're just so sweet i know rory bought mccoy as well because he was dressed as mccoy on the friday they're happy family yeah there was only one doctor who's specific thing other than the community show of course uh which was the time meddler's store i've heard mixed things about time meddlers apparently they're not very reputable but i no one told me why so i bought stuff anyway the fourth doctor's painter lapel which is lovely look at that i've been looking for those abyssal ones for ages as well as one that's fallen out which is the sixth doctor's cat lapel so that's cool yeah that was cool and then we went back the next day and we got the suspenders the we did we got the purple coast oh hello so there i've got these now too i've never had these i've only ever had the red ones and we'd sometimes subtly leave um the business cards that's how that's how i remember george sheared was there because he found one of my ruddy calling cards i left at time meddlers i bet the people at time meddlers were like who is this guy that keeps suspiciously leaving these cards because they would always disappear so i don't know if people took them or if they were like get this but there was a few people who took pictures and sent them to his yeah there was an artist vicky i know you sent me one i wish i bumped into you because i know you bought one of these as well i don't know which one you bought i forget but you bought one of the woollen woollen boys oh no it was a dalek i do believe shall we talk about your celebrity meetings today oh yeah okay so today was a very i felt like all i was doing was waiting for the time because the the timings of my two photo ops were like very close together um and one of them um the charlie cox one that was my first one um dare he was my first one at half past 12 but the um it was he was running a little bit late so he was like 10 minutes maybe a bit less um late and i was like sitting there going oh i really hope we're not going to be too late because otherwise i can't be done and i thought oh no and i could always see people like queuing on the opposite side like just sitting down queuing i thought i wonder what that's for and then afterwards i realized it was the tom hiddleston photo op queue starting an hour early you know because obviously you've already paid for a 225 pound ticket and you're not gonna you're not gonna get uh oh it's so silly anyway i met charlie cox first and he was literally the sweetest human oh my god there was something about that um he was literally the sweetest human being i've ever met he was fist bumping everyone through the little perspect glass um and the guy in front of me was so awkward that she didn't realize he was doing it to like just be like hello she thought it was a he was trying to do a photo op pose and she was like oh no no no i want to do this and i thought oh my god oh charlie i was like she just he just wanted to say hello so when i went up he was doing it and i was like yeah i was like yeah he was like are you okay he was like what's your name i thought oh my god same my name jarl same my name um but he was so sweet and he was just lovely and i said that i want to do the bat's back but i didn't know whether i could lean on the perspect so i didn't know there's a mini awkward gap but that's okay but are you fixed in the next one i fixed it in the next one he was just so sweet and then he was like are you gonna come to the panel and i was like i didn't know there was a panel but we went but i'm coming yeah i'm coming and luckily we actually saw them in person not just a fucking live stream yeah so he was in person this time um which was really nice with his uh co-star i played caron yes she was they were both very nice turned out she plays dnd she does lots of dnd there you go and then when i came out of charlie's experience which was really it was really good the charlie experience the charlie experience that's what i'm calling it and i asked people if i could stay and wait for the some hiddleston one and they were like oh yeah you're a bit early but it's okay go and sit in that queue and i was like you're telling me i'm a bit early and this woman's been waiting there already for like 40 minutes i was like that's fine whatever i was just dottering around just off somewhere else i was just going off back and forth being stopped by uh people for pictures and stuff yeah and that was fun that was fun but um the tom hiddleston one was um there were so many people and we could tell who was the big one at the con like there wasn't a lot of guests but they had the main one yeah and charlie had at least like four to five four or two five queues waiting for him to go like waiting for his picture but tom had like 15 and we were all just standing there i was like i feel like i'm in the wrong queue or something and then then we went in and he wasn't he was later than charlie was and this woman who was um standing there doing like she was a crew or something yeah um she was like it's always this time this time of people that just go wow they think they think they could just come whenever they want and i was like oh that's like that's vicious i was like chomkin come whenever he likes okay he can turn up at like two and i'll still wait for him i don't care we were going in because there was more people i was luckily in the first queue um and i got him at his best he had music playing which i don't think i think yeah so he had music playing and the security guards were like yeah he likes to dance around sometimes so sometimes if you could really say that in the panel as well like he was blasting music on the slow key set yeah and apparently that's just his thing he loves to just like blast music out and he was just blasting music so when you walk in there it's just like well it wasn't like that but it was it was good it was good music he was on the other side of perspex glass and i was like oh um and he was just like so love he was just so sweet he was so tall and just so lovely that's the first thing you'd i was cut on the way uh to to meet you afterwards and all you messaged was he was so tall all the caps he was so tall and he was just so sweet and i loved him and he was just lovely as well and he was like what do you what do you pose do you want to do and i was like oh i want to do better to better please make it better please make it better but yeah so he was really lovely too and that was just really nice it was just a lovely opportunity and then obviously after that um was the dead little panel i don't care how early we got there i was waiting for my photo ops i was so uh how much how much was that talking about how much it was okay i already said my mom my mom bought it for me for my birthday shout out to you pam i didn't want to say the name shout out to you pam it was a lot of money it was a lot i was like debating whether or not i was gonna spend money that we're supposed to be saying for a house on that and it was very close to happening but then mommy said that she would buy for me mommy i want another pony but i paid for charlie cox because for some reason it was so much cheaper nearly a hundred and fifty pound cheaper only yes it was a hundred and fifty pound probably more cheaper to see charlie than was to see tom oh one of my favorite things so not only was i um on the on the app and on the website and on the tv screen uh outside the actual stage but wouldn't you know it i ended up in here i'm sure i'll take a closer picture but i am right is that the right page i'm right there one of the i was the first person on the creator stage and seeing the community show in there is inherently very funny to me because i know how unprofessional the show is but clearly they don't i'd love to do this again if i were to do this again i need to think of new guests because i don't want to keep bringing on the same ones because the community is huge i'd love to ask luke newman he's on the list uh typically mainly just to get as more dw2012 doctors under the live belt if you have any ideas of who i should bring on give me a shout or if you'd like to come on yeah josh car i'd love to get you on that's oh yeah george there were some great cosplayers though that um i forget his name but he dressed as a cyber man that poor man you were sweating weren't you mate i'll put a picture in your handle here but oh my god like we kept meeting him without the helmet and just the sweat dripping down even outside when it was cold yeah you were freezing because you forgot your card yeah it was in the suitcase he was just sweating and i thought oh my god but then you think you see all these people are dressed in massive cosplays and you just think how are you coping all day long and then on the flip side of it then you see like people dress like maybe they're shirtless or they're in just skin tight latex or whatever and you're just like you're outside and it's windy as shit how be i'm going as catwoman next year full of out on tumblr i saw a bloke and i didn't realize it was a bloke at first who had fake boobs but like but not like in a bra but like like like lifelike breasts and i was like and i only knew it was a bloke because he had a beard and i was like wow well there's that and then i told you about that woman who was also she had her her boobs her breasts out and she had like hearts over her nipples and i just thought maybe she's like covered them up but no they were just her nipples they were just out and i was like is that a laugh how cold are you like you must be freezing yeah i'm going as um uh naked man next next year 22 okay jack in the evening yeah there was a lot of anime that i don't know you're into anime than me yeah but even then there was like anime where i haven't even seen it but there's so many a lot of made that's not just anime that's that's just a kink thing that's a kink thing a lot of men as maids they're what you know what shout out to to those who are braver than that clown maid that we saw on the way home as well clown maid you know we've got some posters now me and jemera have decided that we like nerd posters that are more subtle yes we got that shout out from the dobson's yeah shout out to dobson family who did the same the first one we got was the house moving castle one yes we did oh it's a time because you especially love how the moving castle because you said you want to go as the woman from that Sophie Sophie I keep forgetting the name yes don't want to go with Sophie yes i do it's just so nice and like you look at it you just think yes house you don't even have to see the bottom just house moving castle and everybody take a while stab in the dark as to what i got yeah that's right it's sherlock we all love sherlock it's stylish even though it's very clearly dr who i mean the london skyline and the colors it really pairs well with the howl as well yeah so we're gonna put that somewhere in our in our very crowded flat this one i want to talk about uh they sold cookies that were delicious so cake in a jar uh www.cakeinajar.co.uk they had literal the cookies were delicious i can't even oh we got four in total we also got some fudge i don't know what the fudge was but you like i'm so sorry fudge man who i'm so sorry fudge man i'm so sorry fudge man who's running out of fudge i don't know where you come from but your fudge was amazing just letting you know where did you come from where did you go where did you come from fudge man i got mini tenon because i was dressed as tenon it's me where did you get that where did i get that i got it the same place you've got that birthday present of mine that i'm not allowed to know about yet i don't know what it is because it was in a see-through bag look we both thought each other christmas and birthday presents because ours is both in december yeah we both what i just told you what yours was i was going to give you a secret because i couldn't okay okay he comes home friday and goes i bought your birthday present and i was like it was just great so i won't tell you i was like all right that's fine i'm okay with that then literally maybe 10 minutes later he's like i really want to have you i really want to tell you and i was like i don't like tell me tell me i don't care and then he just showed me he was like here this is it he's like you can't have it now it was a nice present it was a beautiful present thank you so much we need to find spyro we added more things to it's a ps1 just letting everyone know it's a PlayStation one yes it is absolutely not bad i know um because that was my first um console so we're trying to find all the um games that i had when i when i first got it which i was very little so it was very things like rug rats and um spyro search for reptar shout out if you played search for reptar ps1 i don't care much the last thing i bought was this i've always had one cd but now i have them all i have the pandorica who takes pandorica takes the universe and well i have it universe now please god it was an absolutely amazing time wasn't it it was yeah it was so good and it was so lovely to see everyone back again and come on and seeing everyone you know cosplaying up and probably people had had cosplay cosplays they were going to do last year and obviously then couldn't but then added more to it and made it even better than it was going to be last year so it was really lovely just to see everyone out and about again and how safe everyone was being and obviously with the photops and things like that they were being really safe with those as well yeah and showing your um covid pasts and stuff like that so it was really lovely in in a way it was really lovely it was it was in every sense and you know i do it again next weekend to be honest yeah honestly oh i'm birmingham three weeks away guys three weeks we're in birmingham do it do it we won't we but wow we wish we could why we're definitely pretty much going to do every london one though so both the one in may the one in october if it is going to go on next expect us there all weekend well not the friday but saturday sunday so if you ever see us in the future do come over and say hi yeah and if you went this year let us know what your cosplay does let us know if you saw jack in his lovely cosplay let us know if you saw the panel um and just yeah and just let us know how your your comicon went and if you didn't why not yeah what's your what's your bloody excuse come on guys come on yes thank you and enjoy the rest of your day good nerds


Yeah well you just you as you cleared your throat and set your phone down it stuttered like six times really fast. Oh really? Yeah. That happens to me during sex. Stuttered about six times. I hate when that happens. So today this is a trailer of a film called The Song of Scorpions and this is starring Irfan Khan. This is not this is not his last film. This is this is one of his last films the the one that's coming out just soon it doesn't have subs on it so this is not that that trailer though the the one that was shelved in 2007. I think this was made around 2018 is one of his last films but it's also the same director as Kisa. Okay so this is the one that I've been hearing about because it's the Kisa director but there's actually two Irfan films yet to be released. No this is one that's already been released. This one hasn't been released. This is one of his last films that was already released. The one that hasn't released is one that came out in 2007. I want to react to the trailer but there's no subs yet so the team is subbing it. But this is one of his last films I think around 2018 but the same director as Kisa. I don't really know what it's about but I think it was a little more artsy and it's Irfan so you know it's going to be. Yeah if it's Irfan and it's that director and it's called The Song of Scorpions I'm imagining it to be Elevated Artistry. Irfan probably one of the greatest actors out of all time. All time. Still so sad that he's gone. All right ready? Three, two, one. His voice is so comforting. I don't know. You only see him in the whole house.  I know. Nooran, our Sanjana is our life. So you're ready to breathe? If everyone wants to, then leave that girl. I've seen so much happiness. beautiful trailer yes oh i love the strings what a trailer man yes yes yes can i watch now please every day of the week man where can i go this is the same like when we whenever we saw the trailer for kisa i think we were like yes it's okay there's obviously and we're not afraid to admit it there's a bias towards your phone but it's it's a warranted bias he is one of the greatest actors ever um he's so good and his voice is so comforting even like even when in kisa when he was like playing like this bad person you're just like i love you you're fun i love you so much yeah i don't even consider it to be a i don't even consider it to be a a bias because there's certain talents whether they're directors or actors or whoever they may be they're just so consistently good that when you hear they're involved with something you immediately have a level of interest and that's why name artists garner the kind of uh rates they do because so many people want to see or hear what they do that it's just a matter of you know the ratio so how can you not if you've seen irfan in two films you immediately recognize this is an unusual level of artistry and the the filmmaking of um uh anoop sing who was the director of kisa uh was uh even though you could watch our review of that the film was fantastic definitely worth a watch it's uh up to you uh whether you like the ending or not rick loved the ending i was it i didn't i didn't love the ending of it um but uh that's up to you uh whether you like what the film overall was a fantastic well acted by everyone in that film that is such a well-acted film and also i just looked on the imbb credits uh till it's almost barely in this uh our dose i don't know i don't know if it's just like camea her her her title is lady of the night that's that's her title so maybe it's just like a little like a like a little uh one one scene thing lady of the night maybe she's the female version of wonder shlong for those who know who that is i can't i can't wait to uh to uh to interview him and hey i know uh the wonder shlong yeah this looks like this looks like it's just like kisa film festival level award winning high level artistry um with you if we had a video of it right now i'd watch it today i wonder how accessible it is because it looks like a small indy let's see i'm just looking it up right now song of scorpions oh amazon prime are you on there you can get it you can get it on amazon prime the uh are you sure because they they trick you a lot they'll say it's on there and then you go when you look and it says not currently available no it's available but i think it's through oh i am dbt i'm i am dbtv uh apparently is what it's through um okay but it looks like it's available to us that's cool it's only just under two hours which is absolutely we want to see that yeah so if you guys have seen i'm okay it looks like it came out in 2017 um and my bet is just by the look of it just the same way kisa was is it probably wasn't heavily viewed right right uh just by the look of it looks artsy it looks small uh even though earphones one of the greatest actors of all time he's he's not like uh somebody like a erithic who's like a massive star who has this just massive draw even though he should right you know he's one of the greatest actors but it's it's the same with daniel de luz everybody loves daniel de luz he doesn't have a name draw of tom tom cruise right it's just the way it works um it's i don't know why but that's how it that's how it is um but if you've seen it let us know uh how this film is because color me intrigued uh of a film yeah same director and it's very well yeah it's really interesting because like i remember the the girls and i ashley and lexus we went to a screening uh back when the arc light and sherman oaks was doing those things uh ann hathaway was screening a film that was her film she actually she started it she was producing it it was a little independent film the film was good never had a major distribution release and that's got ann hathaway's man time to it so very often it's funny you'll find these films with really well-known actors like i don't know how many times i've seen something i'm like whoa ed harris and you're like never heard of the film because just because you have a name and you're talented doesn't necessarily mean it's going to get distribution no it's crazy and we're and we're going to watch everything your fund's done before we're dead everything everything yeah because he is obviously warranted so he is one of our favorites i think he's one of the best actors ever not just india i think he's i think he's one of the best actors of all time and the most effortless actor i've ever seen in my life i've never seen anybody just look so damn effortless and i so wish oh it would have been amazing to be able to to talk to him i know forget talk to him could you imagine because we we know from having talked to people who've worked with him what it's like to have worked with him and the kind of actor he is and he's just everything you've ever wanted to have as a scene partner so ever anyone anyone and everyone who's gotten the blessing to work with him count yourselves deeply deeply honored i'm sure you do yeah well let us know what the next ear fond film should be that we should watch should be this one should be any of his other ones that we haven't seen yet let us know down below


At Murph 2022 we got some really cool spot. We are two tables, we got the banner up on the wall and bathrooms. This right here couldn't be a better place for us to be and it is super cool. We've been super busy all day talking to some amazing people in the community, talking about the bamboo lab printer non-stop. Thank you so much bamboo lab for sponsoring us here at Murph 2022 and we are going to have battle racers coming up. Oh it's like it's like a battle racer humping my leg. So we're going to have some battle racers coming up. If you are here, well you're not here because we never mind. But guys we're going to go through some tables, we're going to drop some music on and show you guys just a ton of tables. Let's do it. Building then 2019 when we here last year it was the same building but only maybe half full. This year as you can see it is full all the way down there which is so awesome this year for Murph. We are excited to show you some tables. We're going to go running through style. I don't know if we're going to stop, we're going to talk, we're going to find some really cool stuff. Let's go. So when we come in we have a ton of vendors here this year. Protopasta's hiding in this corner right here. We got LDO motors coming up right here of course. Lohlsbott, don't forget about the Lohlsbott crew. And one of our favorite booths, you'll remember this from last year, this is Green Gay 3D. Say hi Green Gay 3D. All right. So we just came out, we're in the parking lot right here at Murph. Jariah is about to take us over to his vehicle. Is this it? All right Rich. We have something for you. Look at this. Jariah, do you have any idea how many spools are in here? I have no idea. I just contacted the group and said hey does anybody have spools they want to recycle and our Des Moines group and Hart Smart products went together and collected everything we could find. Fantastic. Two or three of these were mine but I found some more. Well they definitely seem to have replicated. So it's awesome because we have some awesome big spools here. We have some standard spools and this is the community coming together to do a really cool recycle program. I'm thinking as we're sitting out here talking. Yeah. I'm thinking next year everybody should autograph their spools and then when they go out it'll be like when you sign a dollar bill. Oh. Everyone will we should bring a silver paint pen and those spools will go out and who knows while they'll wind up and maybe we'll bring it back a second time and put a year on them. Oh that's a really cool idea. Well you know what we could do we could bring some of these spools in and we could start at your booth. There you go.  Right. That's such a cool idea. I love it. Let's get some of these spools inside. Groswitz say hi Michael Swiss. How you guys doing? Good to see you. Good to see you. Don't forget about the Voron crew. The Voron crew is in the house right now. We got I see 3D in the house. How's it going guys? How we doing? Great Murph huh? Good to see you. Good to see you. Of course the great Prusa's here. We can't say anything bad about that. They have some amazing stuff coming. Uh oh we found a slice engineering booth. Look at these bend of misfits. What's going on? Nice to see you. And Mandala Roseworks is here too. How you guys doing? Good. Lightspeed. Stevens here. How you doing Steven? Good. Good. Good. We're just running through the line here. Whoo. As you can see we came around this corner and it is pretty warm in here. Nowhere near as hot and as wet as last year. But there's some really cool stuff. We went through some of the vendors. We're going to check out some stuff that's on the tables. Let's do it. Pretty much faded out here as you can see everyone is pretty much funneled out except for the leftovers. We call them the leftovers because this is when the party starts. We're going to shut down filming for the day but you guys were awesome. I hope you enjoyed the content. I hope we brought you some really cool stuff. But until next year we had a blast. The Murph racer will be back. It'll be back better than ever and probably with an offensive tool. We'll see. Don't forget to check out Hot Makes Monday night at six p.m. on the Hot Makes channel and on the edge of tech but until next year Murph you guys are awesome. Don't forget Brian Vines is right there. Sneak.


Now it's time to classify these connective tissues because if we take different combinations of cells, fibers, and ground substance, then we're going to get a huge variety of connective tissues. So what are these connective tissues? What are the possibilities? Connective tissues fall into three categories. Today, we're going to deal only with connective tissue proper. So I'm going to write that up here, connective tissue proper. This is the one we're going to deal with the most today. But I also want to talk about structural connective tissue. That says structural connective tissue. And we're going to deal with those guys in a whole lab, not that far away, but after our first exam. And then we're going to deal with fluid connective tissue. And the nice thing is how many fluid connective tissues do you think there are? You know what? There's one. It's blood.  It's matrix fibers and ground substance. It's just super watery. It's way, the matrix is way more watery than say the matrix in adipose tissue or bone tissue or cartilage or a realer connective tissue. It's just fluid. So let's look at connective tissue proper. I hope I don't run out of room here in my little diagram. What do you think? Am I going to? I'm going to include the whole thing. Watch. There are two types of connective tissue proper and they are dense and loose. That's pretty straightforward. Dense connective tissues just have the fibers all tightly lined up and not necessarily organized but just stuck all together. The loose connective tissues, the fibers are just kind of floopy all over the place because floopy is a word. Really, dense connective tissues come in two flavors, regular and irregular. So far, so good. That's it. I was expecting to have to go down farther. So we only have two options for our dense connective tissues. The fibers tend to be really thick and close together but in a dense regular connective tissue, they're all lined up and going the same way. In dense irregular connective tissue, it looks like my house, my room. All my stuff is just like in this pile that's super unorganized.  She's doing all my laundry and folding things up. If I do my laundry, I feel like dense irregular connective tissue. She's making my laundry regular. Thanks, mom. Loose connective tissue has three flavors. Are you ready? I'm going to make my loose connective tissue flavors go this way. Are you following what I'm doing here? There are my three flavors. That way I can fit them on here. Three types of loose connective tissue, one of them is adipose. Adipose tissue is fantastic. It might be, did I already say this? My favorite tissue ever. It has, unfortunately, I don't love it on me, but it sure is cool to look at in your slides. It's basically a cell, a giant cell that literally looks like, dude, that thing, that's an empty cell. Nobody's home.  And if you are lucky, you might see a tiny, tiny bit of cytoplasm. Really, what's the rest of this stuff? Yeah, my friend, it's what you would think in a fat cell. It's a blob of fat. Look at this.  So you're going to see something that's like huge and empty. It's not really empty. It's storing all your extra energy. Thank you very much. But they're really, really distinctive. Okay, I got distracted. Adipose tissue is one. We also have a tissue called aryler. The aryler connective tissue is loose, although some of your slides might make it look dense. But it looks like tiddlywinks.  And then there's like stuff that's spread out. It looks kind of dense. But you can imagine just sticking your finger in there and mixing it around. It's going to go every which way. It's going to be super messy and easy to move. So it is really a loose connective tissue. And it's the packing peanuts of your whole body. Your adipose tissue stores energy and it provides cushioning. That's handy. But aryler connective tissue like is found all over.  When you come into lab, we can probably find some aryler connective tissue in our cadavers that we can look at so that you can kind of appreciate the net-like webbiness. And it's found all over the place. It's kind of like I've heard it called the packing peanuts of the body because it just kind of keeps everything connected together so we don't wiggle around and have lots of friction but also nicely organized. Not very heavy, not very expensive to make. Last one. Reticular. Reticular connective tissue is made out of and it's found in solid organs. And those solid organs are things like lymph nodes or the spleen. We're not actually going to see it in lab, but we do need to learn about it. I'm going to fill out your structural connective tissue box here because we're going to get really comfortable with it now. We're not looking at any of these in detail right now. We're going to look at all of them later on down the road, but our structural connective tissues come in two flavors. What do you think? Go ahead and guess before I start writing them down. Bone and cartilage. Those are our two flavors of structural connective tissue. Again, we'll have a whole day on the histology of bone and cartilage. Bone comes in two flavors. We have compact bone or dense bone and we have spongy bone. Spongy bone has like 32 names. It's called cancelous bone or trabecular bone. I think spongy is the easiest to remember. So that's what I go with. Cartilage comes in three flavors. Cartilage, we have hyaline cartilage.  We also have fibrocartilage and we have elastic cartilage. Again, we're going to talk about these guys in detail later on and we'll look at them. We'll look at different examples and you'll have to identify all of them, but we're just not going to do it today. I want you to have the whole picture so that when we get there, it'll be easy to just plug in our information because all connective tissues have this in common. Let's do the next thing. It says connective tissue histology. I wonder why I'm doing that. Probably shouldn't say that out loud on the video, but I did. So I'm going to go figure out why we're doing connective tissue histology. Maybe we're going to go look at University of Michigan. I'll be right back.


Hi, this is Christy Mendoza with Alabama Extension's Food Safety and Quality Team. This video is to show you how to use the Pressure Canner Gauge Tester. It's recommended that you test your pressure canner gauge every year before you start the canning season. Call your local county extension office and make an appointment to use our pressure canner tester. I asked my friend Ashley to help demonstrate. She's never done this before so you can see she does okay and so can you. You will need the canner gauge tester with foot pedal and your pressure canner gauge attached to the lid or not. Either way is fine. Okay, let's get started. Here's Ashley. Hi Ashley. Do you have your pressure canner gauge? The lid? Yep. Lid with gauge. That's good. You have the tester on a sturdy table and the tester gauge is there as well. Right. The highest part of the tester should be closest to you. Also, you should have the foot pedal on the floor. I should mention that you might have to unhook the foot pedal to operate it. It's that little silver hook right there. First we need to place the tester's gauge on the tester. It goes on the tall pipe in the back. It's a quick connect so push it till it clicks. In the blue cup there's little rubber things.  Now to test. Place the lid on the tester where the hole for the gauge is on that little tube in the front. Hold the lid parallel to the tester as Ashley is doing. Hold it there firmly. Alternately, you can remove the gauge from your lid and test just the gauge. Pump the foot pedal until the tester gauge reads 5 pounds. Compare your gauge to the tester. They should be the same. Then pump the tester to 10 pounds. Again, they should be the same. Place more to 15 pounds. Oh no, it looks like our gauge is over 15 pounds. If your gauge is off by 1 pound at 5, 10 or 15, it's still okay to use. Just make the adjustments when you're canning.  Here's a few more things. You shouldn't hear any air leaking from your gauge while testing. Hold it firmly. If you still hear leaks, try a different rubber piece or you may just need a new gauge. Also, you should check the other rubber parts of your lid. Check the seal, the safety plug and where the gauge goes. They should be rubbery soft and without cracks. Hold the lid up to the light to make sure the vent and the gauge pipes are clean. Just in case you missed something, the directions are printed on a sticker right there on the tester.


As well as past the cards, another technique I've used with a lot of product owners is called priority markets or sometimes it's called free market prioritization and this is a technique that Jason Haynes and I developed and wrote about when we were both helping an investment bank adopt scrum. So this is much more of what we call a market-based approach. So each stakeholder is given some virtual money in the form of development dollars or Jeff dollars which they can use to bid on backlog items. It's a fair and democratic approach because all stakeholders get a voice in the prioritization process. It's also very open and transparent because everybody can see how each backlog item was prioritized. I also find it pretty efficient to administer and also scales well to large numbers of stakeholders and even if you've got a really long product backlog it still works quite well and this is how you do it. So the first thing you need to do is you need to set things up. So in our example here we're going to assume that the project already has a backlog of items. So here we're going to let's say we've got six backlog items and they've all got different costs of development associated with them. My first step as a product owner is to identify the different stakeholders who are going to be involved in setting the development priorities. Now I could if I wanted to assign a different importance weighting to each of those stakeholders based on how important they are to the product but to keep things simple in our example we're going to assume that our four stakeholders John, Paul, George and Ringo all have an equal weighting. I'll come back to how to handle stakeholders with unequal weightings a little bit later but let's keep it simple to start with. Now we've got our four stakeholders we're going to introduce the concept of development dollars. Now development dollars are a fake currency that we're going to use to allow the stakeholders to bid for and buy features or changes in the product. So we need to create a bank and that bank has some unallocated development dollars and we need to inject some development dollars into the system and then allocate them out to the stakeholders. Doesn't matter how many development dollars you inject into the system and you can mess around with it, tune it, adjust it as you get more practice at this but again for simplicity let's start with $40. The next step is to allow the stakeholders to bid their development dollars on the backlog item. So we're going to allocate those development dollars equally because they have equal weighting and then they can bid on whatever features they like. Now as you can see in our example here John has decided to spread his budget across features B, D and E but Paul is really keen on feature C. He's got a little bit of interest in D and E. George mostly favours D but also wants BC and E while Ringo really favours F. Got a little bit of interest in C and E. Once we've got those we can then determine the relative value of each item by calculating the total bid of development dollars allocated to it and then the developers can estimate the cost of each of those backlog items that has been bid on and with those two values we can work out a rough return on investment by dividing the total bid by the development cost. We order the backlog in return on investment and we've got priorities in this order F, D, B, C and E. Ordering by return on investment allows us to deliver items in terms of best bang for our buck. Now although change C or feature C has the largest amount bid on it it also has a large development cost so it's further down the priority list and F is at the top of the list even though it's only important to one single stakeholder but Ringo allocated 70% of his budget to it so it's obviously really critical to him. A has had no development dollars bid against it so it's at the bottom of the list and that's quite normal in a typical project there'll be a lot of items that have no dollars bid against them that doesn't mean they're actually unimportant it just means they're not right important right now and actually that's a real advantage of the method because the stakeholders can actually concentrate their attention on a smaller limited number of really important items on the product backlog. It's also important to bear in mind that like I said we're only estimating development costs on items that have dollars bid on them we don't have to waste our time estimating things that haven't been bid on. What do we do next? Well we take that prioritized backlog and the development team will start working on it for an iteration and in our example we're going to assume that the development team managed to get through the first two items in their next iteration so F and D have been successfully implemented. The next step is to reallocate the dollars that were bid on F and D so we can archive those items off the product backlog and those dollars that were bid on them need to be reallocated. In total there were 16 dollars that were spent on them. Now it's really important to know that 16 dollars goes back into the bank first of all it doesn't go back to the stakeholders who bid on them okay that's really important but F and D they can be taken out of the product backlog and we have another round of bidding. We need to reallocate that 16 dollars and we'll do that in the same way that we allocated the first 40 it goes out equally across the stakeholders. Ringo doesn't get back the seven dollars that he originally bid on F and John and George don't get their four dollars back and Paul doesn't get his one dollar back instead we take that 16 we divide it by the weighting which in our case is equal so they all get four dollars each back. All right really important come back to way in a minute. At the same time the original bids that were there for B, C, E and A are still there at least initially and once we've got that money back out to the stakeholders they have another round of bidding. Each stakeholder can reallocate the money that they'd spent before or they can just allocate their new unspent dollars they could add to the bids that they had before or they can just start again. If we've got something that doesn't have a development cost but now has a bid on it we would then do an estimate for that so that we can work out a new return on investment and we'd have a new prioritized order for the next iteration. Now by redistributing those development dollars and allowing the stakeholders to change their bids we're being very agile in response to any changes that might be happening in the stakeholders priorities. That's it basically that process just repeats itself iteration by iteration. Dollars spent on each iteration are reallocated and rebid. Now a couple of little nuances to this technique that you might want to be aware of. I did say about determining the stakeholder weightings that example we assumed simplicity and equal weighting for each stakeholder but in real life some stakeholders will typically be more important than others that could be because of the proportion of the user base they represent or the amount of money they're bringing into the product whatever it is but you can handle that in this technique by assigning different weightings and that will affect the number of development dollars that each stakeholder is allocated. So we could modify our previous example and use some different weightings in this case we would allocate our $40 very differently based on the weighting so in our example now John is the most important stakeholder George is the least important stakeholder and Paul and Ringo are about equal so their allocations then are based on their relative importance to the product they also reflect how much development effort will be devoted to each stakeholder so in our example John will receive 50% more development dollars than George. Now determining who the stakeholders are and what their weightings are can be a politically challenging exercise for a product owner and if a stakeholder group can't agree on a weighting amongst themselves it will be up to you as a product owner to make that decision. Whoever makes that decision though has got to be somebody sufficiently respected in the organization for it to have meaning. Now if you think about it weighting our stakeholders is pretty similar to a departmental budgeting process and one advantage of this approach is that the management team or the leadership team can make one single upfront decision about the relative priorities of the stakeholders for the product and that will avoid them having to micromanage the relative merits of individual backlog items and instead empowers that stakeholder group with control over the priorities based on a strategic decision. Priority markets I found a really useful technique to get priorities going amongst stakeholder groups it also has a number of different benefits to it as well. First of all it's scalable so even if you've got hundreds of backlog items priority markets allow stakeholders and the development team to focus only on the features or the changes that are immediately relevant so it avoids the trap that a lot of teams fall into of vigorously debating every item on a really long backlog if they don't have development dollars bid on them they stay in the backlog for later. It also scales well with the number of stakeholders so each stakeholder can bid independently of the others. One stakeholder can quantify the importance of their features or change requests by bidding on them and it avoids long discussions about why one backlog item might be more important than another. It's also fair because if a stakeholder hasn't had any of their backlog items implemented in recent iterations they will be steadily accumulating proportionately more dollars to spend in future iterations. I also mentioned it's transparent and transparency is important for fairness and for processes to be considered respected and useful so at any point in time each stakeholder will know exactly the priorities of the other stakeholders and they'll be able to see how development dollars have been spent so project priorities openly set transparently to everybody. You might want to be aware of a couple of psychological aspects to this technique because once you start monetizing the prioritization process you can see a few interesting behaviors emerging. You might see some bargaining where stakeholders get together and agree to bid on certain items together to give themselves a better chance of something mutually beneficial being successfully prioritized. You might see some trading with stakeholders selling their development dollars or giving them in this iteration in return for some more in another iteration. You might see tactical voting based on other people's bids, stakeholders might allocate more or fewer dollars to certain items. You might even see some government intervention. Now when the free market generates priorities that aren't in the strategic interests of the project, the organization, the product owner might step in and allocate additional dollars to a particular item. Now as with any free market, governmental intervention can have a number of negative consequences. It can increase inflation, reducing the relative value of other dollars. It can also disenfranchise the stakeholders because effectively they're having their priorities overridden. Now there will never be a perfect solution to the difficult process of prioritization. But past the cards and priority markets are just two pretty efficient and pretty effective ways of mitigating any people pleasing tendencies that might negatively influence your negotiations. They're both games aimed at giving multiple stakeholders a chance to participate directly in the prioritization process while also minimizing standoffs and bickering. And in the next section we're going to look at another common personality trait that can make your negotiations difficult, your perfectionism.
