And now, tonight's presentation of Radio's outstanding theatre of thrills, Suspense. Tonight, we bring you the story of a tramp steamer and piracy in the Atlantic. So now, starring Mr. Ben Wright, here is tonight's suspense play, The Tramp. Smell a rotten clavishly. What a stinker. She'll sail like a ruddy ace tech. You know that, Art. She's what we've been looking for, Guardie. Eight knots with the wind behind her. If she don't blow up, I don't like it. She was six thousand tons of the ugliest tramp I'd ever seen. The paint was scaling off her plates and you could see the patches of rust. In the fog and mist she loomed over as dark in the night. We stood on the Liverpool dock, Guardie, Winkle-Jones and me, and we sized her up. It's what we've been looking for, all right? Where's she bound? Baron Killer. Where'd you find that at? Oh, at the pub a bit ago. She's shorthanded on crew, too. Well, what's her cargo? What we've been waiting for, Jonesy. Scrap. God. Skipper's name is Blee. He should be easy. He drinks too much all the time, you know the kind. He was in the pub, too.  Scrapping her old and all, Jonesy.  Why don't you lead the thing into Art and me? Do you think she'll do Art? The way I see it, she'll have to do. You might not find another for months. Then we'll lose the deal. Well, that's all. I'm with you. Well, I'm with you, too. But I don't like the looks that are in that straight.  Be safer doing the blag than this, I hope they choke. You're getting milky, Jonesy. No, I ain't milky. Use milky.   All right, come on, beat both of you. All right, all right. Now, what's to lay out? I'm going back to the pub. You boys wait at the hotel. I'll get things lined up with a skipper. You think he'll take us on? I told you he's short-handed. He'll take us on. You get your stuff back. I'll see you later. Righto, chum. I walked up the frog and towed to a wallopper called the jug. Inside were seamen mostly, and the rest were a lot of dirty muck from narks to dodoes. I spotted the captain, Blee, sitting in a corner, dipping his yellow moustache in a mug. And after I got my own pint, I walked over to him. Oh, he was well canned. I could see that. Captain. What? Captain Blee, aren't you the skipper of the lacewing over at the docks? Yeah. Aye. Oh, you mind if I sit down? You mind? Arthur Jennings, captain. I want to talk to you about shipping on. On the lacewing? Woof-woof. I need a birth. I heard you were short-handed.  Full compliment. Well, I must have made a mistake. Hey, what's your name? Oh, I'm not up to any game. I don't follow you.  Oh, I'm clean with the police, captain. If that's what you mean, you're not up to me. Then why do you want to sign up on a Brista-Bladrin's cow like the lacewing? Well, like I said, I need a birth. I got me papers, second office in my last ship. Yeah, let's see. Arthur Jennings. There, blah. Well? Well? Well, am I hired? 34? You know how old I'm 60. I'm 60.  You know what that means? I might have had a Cunada, but I ain't. I'm a failure. I know some of the rest. Well, job's a job. I'm telling you. I need a man like you. I need a first officer, a second and a third.  And I'm going to settle for scraping. That's what I always get. Scraping, scraping.  I still want to sign on. I hear you're bound for Baron Killer. There's no bonus on my ship. Oh, now doesn't believe in it, that dirty dog. That's all right. You'll have laskers and mugs on you. I'm used to it. I've been around. On the sea, one man's the same as another. I need a mate. Yes. If you want to hire the men, we're short 18, and the pay's not worth a button. Oh, get him. We're saving at six in the morning. All right?  Don't turn up. I need me another pint, I do. Right, you are. Skipper, you stay here and enjoy yourself, and I'll take care of things top-side. Hey, what's your name? Jennings. Half a Jennings. Oh, Jennings. All right, all right, Jennings. Tell that steward of mine who you are. He's a bored ice-wing named Seddon, sneaking a little pig. Don't you trust him? Yes, sir. Oi, Jennings. I'll tell you something else. I don't trust you neither, see. I'll get too smooth, but you're not Skipper and me, see. And don't you forget. It was as easy as pie. Of course it had taken the time to find the right ship and the right Skipper. Better than four months. We had to be sure. Most tramps these days belong to the big companies, part of a fleet. Now, we couldn't use anything like that. It had to be what it was, the lace-wing, Panama Registry, a general trader that nobody else would touch with a Skipper to go with a ship that wouldn't be missed for a while. We found her. I picked up Jones and Gowdy and we went back to the ship. The steward certainly was the only man aboard.  And Mr. Jennings? What do you take me for? Call this a cabin, it's not fit for a pig. Get it cleaned out. Oh, yes, sir. Sorry, sir. Now, look here, Seddon. Mr. Gowdy is the new second officer. Mr. Jones is Chief Engineer. That's Captain Blee's orders, see. Yes, sir. All see their quarters is put to rights immediately, sir. Ready, well, better. Okay, that's all. Shall I clean up in here first, sir? No, hop it. Yes, sir. Well, I must say. Nice work, Art. Nice work. Well, it's a starter. All very nice for you, blokes, but me. I've got to go down in the bowels of this bucket of bog, your Chief Engineer. Think I want to blow myself up? I know what the vengeance is like without even looking at him. You've got engineer papers. We need you down there. If you don't like it, you know what you can do. Now, notice that Jones, he's hungry. Now, what next? Well, as soon as the old man comes aboard, we'll see that he's all tucked in bed nice and comfy, and he doesn't wake up till we're out of here. How about the rest of the crew? Well, what there is we can manage. The ones I'm supposed to wire wouldn't sign up, see. That'll be the story, and don't you forget it. And the guns? We'll keep them in my cabin till we need them. It'll be safer. Right. You better get on the job now. I'll go ashore and send the boss a cable that we found it. We're shoving off at six. Skipper was carried aboard by a couple of crew men at three o'clock that morning. He was no trouble. Beer coming out of his ears. The five, the rest of the men had straggled up the gangway. And at six, we eased away from the dock. And after a bit, the lice wing was buried in a dirty nose in the cross-chop of the Irish Sea. We were three days out of Liverpool. I got off the regular ship lanes as soon as I could, and there was no questions asked. Captain Bleed didn't budge from his cabin. I hadn't even seen him since putting out. And I made sure that the steward kept him well supplied with whiskey. Guarani Jones and me were having grub in my cabin on that third night. The ship was pitching and heaving like a donkey with the itch.  Smooth as glass out there, look at it. Gosh, you'll never make it. Engines won't stand in either. We're pushing it too hard. Never mind that. But you'll do it. What about the crew, Bert? Ah, let me there to push over. Usual bunch. Any troublemakers in this lot? Don't make me laugh. Just a bunch of mugs. Well, we ought to be able to make it, then. The important thing is to keep the radio man quiet. That'll be your job, Bert. Right. What about them engines? I tell you, I've got to slow down. They won't even hang together! Evening, Captain. You were a bit under the weather, Captain. I took them on in Liverpool as you requested. Your second officer, Mr. Gowdy, and Chief Engineer, Mr. Jones. What do you think you're doing with my ship, Mr? Any complaints, sir? I knew I didn't trust you, you blister-bladdered. Oh, it's a good thing Seddon told me. We're ten degrees off course! You know that? That's right, Captain. Not anymore. It's not. I've set her back. You'd have had a sailing to the Indies. That's right, sir. That's where we're going. Well, not on my ship. Barren tears my port.  She's running too fast! Close the door, will you, Bert. Right.  The running lot of your fire! You hear that? Now, look, I've put it to you, Captain.   Make any trouble, and we'll chuck you overboard. Sorry, Captain. You want to take seconds now? Come in with us, and we'll give you a share. Or overboard. Now, no arguments this minute. I'll give you a share of my foot in your... Knock him out, will you? Have a look outside, see if it's clear, John-Z. All right. Better this way, Art. I was afraid he might come in, and we'd have to divvy up. I didn't think he would. All clear. All right, come on, Bert. Give me your hand. Oh, he's heavy! Morning will break the sad news to the crew. Now, let's get this hulk back off course. Listening to the tramp. Tonight's presentation on radio's outstanding theatre of thrills. Suspense. Thomas on the agenda for tomorrow night, too, as once again the men of 21st Precinct come to grips with the problem of enforcing the law in a crowded city. With James Gregory in the role of Captain Cronin, the daily routine of a station house comes to life. And even as crime is taking it on the chin, the human side of the story is always at the surface. No idle children's game of cops and robbers is this. For 21st Precinct is written with an eye and reality and an ear for whatever it may be that makes a particular criminal mind tick. For Thursday night excitement, don't miss 21st Precinct over most of these same stations at this time tomorrow night. And now we bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Mr. Ben Wright starring in tonight's production, The Tramp. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. The next morning I called a crew together on the upper deck. I had a slip of paper ready in me and when they quieted down I gave them the speech. Ben, I've got a sad duty to perform. Last night Captain Bleed did away with himself. He jumped overboard. He committed suicide. He left a note for me which I'll turn over to the proper parties when we reach Port. Also it is his instructions that we proceed to Dominica instead of Baron Killer. I am carrying out that order. Until we get to Port, I shall be the acting captain. That's all. Get back to work. What an attitude a maid art. Lovely. Do you think they swallowed it? I think so. I'm not too sure about a couple of them though.  Austin? Him? Looking this way? Yes. I'll keep an eye on both of them. Yes. And now you better get a message off to our boy in Dominica. Do you think the radio man will get nosy? There's no reason he should and don't you give him any call to bevert. Don't you worry. It looked good. It was all going our way. The ship and her cargo of scrap was going to be worth $15,000 to us when we took her into Port. That's the way we fixed it six months before. A couple of blokes I met in Liverpool. We were to find them a ship, hijacker, and sail her into Dominica with her cargo, scrap if possible. Then they were going to sail her out again to China. And Gowdy, Jones, and me, it blow down to Argentina with our $15,000 and had some fun. That's the way it was. And it looked like it was going to be stone ginger from Iran. That's the way it looked until we were two days out of Port. Come in. What do you want Seddon? What do I have a word with you, Captain? I'm busy. It's important, sir. All right, what? It's about Captain Blee, sir. What about it? Where's it? I hate to say this, sir, but I don't think he met with no accidents. You don't? No, sir. And seeing as how I know what really happened to him, I was thinking maybe it'd be worth the nicker or so if I kept my face shut. Captain Blee jumped over the side. I've got his note that says so. Could I see the note, sir? I know the captain's riding like me own. What makes you think it wasn't an accident, Seddon? Seeing as how I saw what happened, sir, seeing as how it would be important a couple of days, I wouldn't want to make any trouble for you or the other gentlemen, sir. Did you think perhaps something might happen to you? Oh, yes, sir. I did. That's why a friend of mine, Mr. Austin, he knows about it too. Just in case.   You should have waited. You should have waited. Fair as fair, isn't it? You did murder. You don't want to... Don't forget. Austin knows too. We'll take care of Austin. Now, look here. No need to get nasty.  If you don't let me play... The explosion threw us both off our feet and Seddon was first up. He got out of the cabin like a wippet. The engines had stopped and I knew whatever had happened was in the engine room. I got up to the bridge. Gowdy was already there. Can't raise anybody down there, Art. Jonesy, below? I think so. Give it here. Come on. I'd better get down there. Look at the crew. Gore, we're in for you, Art. It'd be worse if they'd get off in the boats. Seddon and Austin know what happened to the captain. I'll get James up then. It's me, Art. What happened, Jonesy? The boy is busted. Fire?  You all right? Smash me on. Stoke has caught it. They're done. I'll send some men. How many do you need to stop the leak? You can't stop it. There's an old six feet or more and another behind the boiler. I'm coming up. Gore, we're done with you all. Get over to the radio cabin. We can't send an SOS. We've got you on. We might not get picked up. You heard what I said. We've still got a chance after we take care of Seddon and Austin. If they split it's all up with us. Now go on. Okay, Ben. Forward O's, buddy. Should I give you off to a bandit, sir? No, get the pumps going. Aye, sir. With the cargo shipping with the explosion, she's going fast, sir. Get on the pumps. Bert, get down there with him. I'll take care of the other thing. Will you listen to me? It's too late. Move it! We had to stop the call from going out because if there was a ship in the vicinity and it got to us before we'd put the quiet on Seddon and Austin, the three of us would hang. And a sinking ship was a sightless worry. And I heard the message before I even opened the door. Stop it! I said stop it! We're sinking! It's my duty. I have to. We are not under yet. Do you think I want us hauled in for salvage rights? You send out. They were okay, see? Now do it now. Need no assistance. Send it. There's a ship about 20 miles off, sir. She could stand by in case. She's on her way. What will you do as you're told? Need no assistance. They're getting them boats out with the sword. We're done for. Five minutes. Not even that. Come out here. Listen, John Z. We've got to get the steward and one of the crewmen, Austin. They've twigged. We've got to do it before we leave the ship. Now, what are you going to do? Feud them in front of the crew? Well, we wouldn't stand a chance. They'd carb us up. Let's get off this tub. There's sharks out there. I want a boat around me. Not until we've taken care of those two. Now listen. You do what you want. I'm clearing out now. I told you them engines wouldn't stand it. Well, they haven't. Now, I'll take me chances with the law. But not again. She's 18 now. I told him to get the boats out with the sword. Come on. Let's get that. I'm with you, Bert. Abandon ship! Abandon ship! There was still a chance. I could do it myself.  Do them both in, and there was still a chance that nobody would know. I went looking for him. The tramp was listing and settling lower in the sea. I ran from one side to the other, and then... then I spotted them. The lifeboat was already in the water. I saw a sedan looking up at me, pointing, and then Austin saw me. I jumped for the boat and I missed. She'd pulled away from the side. How's it feeling there? You know what, old please, felt like now. Give us a hand, will you?  He was gonna kill me. Leave him in there. No, no, get me out. Make a confession, sir. All these other blokes' witnesses, you confess. Now. Or you can swim for it. All right, I did it. What did you do? I killed the captain. You and their mother, too? Yes. All right. Come on now. First time I saw it. First time I knew that tramp was a stinker.   Oi, Art. What? Lovely grub, wasn't it? All right, if you like, Jayle grub. Wish I had some vile beings. Well, you won't have to worry about it for long. Well, it's all right for you, Bert Gowdy. Ain't your stomach. I should have knelt better than to screw up to a couple of half-wide mugs like you. $15,000. First time I saw that ruddy sky. Come off it, Jonesy. I want to get some sleep. Always complaining. Ain't it wicked, Art? When you think we're all going down to the same place, and he'll be there with us. I'll tell you, Bert, it's hopeless. He'll complain the ropes too tight around his neck when the yang is in the morning. What do you bet? Suspense. In which Mr. Ben Wright starred in tonight's presentation of The Tramp. Be sure to join us next Wednesday when we bring you an account based upon fact, the story of Custer's last stand. That's next week on Radio's Outstanding, Theatre of Thrills. Suspense. Suspense is produced and directed in Hollywood by Anthony Ellis. The night script was written for suspense by Essay Bolt. The music was composed by Rene Garagank and conducted by Wilbur Hatch. Featured in the cast were Stan Jones, Joseph Kearns, Charlie Lung, Raymond Lawrence, Lou Krugman, and Bill Shepard. You know that wherever you live, a forest is in the very heart of your life. Wipe out that forest and very soon you may be living in a barren wilderness. Or if matters get out of hand, you may not be living at all. That forest provides wood and lumber for the house you live in. The furniture that makes it livable. But that's really only the start. Wood pulp from the forest gives you paper for newspapers, magazines, and books you read. Not to mention such trimmings as wallpapers, shopping bags, and stationery. But we've barely begun to assess your dependence on the forest in your life. Wherever that forest is located, in actuality, it is vital in providing electricity and power because of its function as a watershed. The roots of your forest hold rainwater and help channel it through natural means to streams and rivers where it can be damned for hydroelectric power. And all this can be destroyed by one spark, flying from a carelessly discarded cigarette thrown from a car window, or by an ember from a campfire only half out.  It's your forest you're protecting. This has been a public service message from CBS Radio. Stay tuned for five minutes of CBS News to be followed over most of these same stations by my son Jeep. You hear America's favorite shows on the CBS Radio Network.

I love silverware jewelry He made me some mermaid tails and you guys have heard me talk about it If you've been on my channel while you've heard me talk about it um, but he's fantastic. So definitely go and check him out on instagram and um Check out his store. He's got great stuff handmade stuff But anyway back to list perfectly you guys have been using it since 2019 I love it just as much today as I did when I first signed up. It's amazing They just keep adding more and more benefits and they don't change the price Like you still get what you get like they just add more features and the price never changes So far it hasn't But anyway, if you want to check it out There's a demo video on my channel There's actually one also that shows you how to get from ebay to facebook So if you guys are not selling on facebook and that's something you're interested in This is a great way to get your items over fast by bulk cross-posting Um, if you want to try it you can use my coupon referral code All one word Bolo buddies and that'll get you 30 off your first month so try it for a month if I'll be shocked if you don't love it because I love it. It's amazing. Um, okay. So let's talk about what ron sold He picked this up for four dollars at an auction and my husband would be like Because my husband loves vintage watches. He um collects So he said I didn't realize at the time the two pieces didn't go together The movement itself was a chronograph pocket watch movement didn't even realize until after it started getting bids It says vintage hamilton pocket watch movement and parts. That was his title. You guys with the photo Um people that collect are going to be looking at auctions Actually, this wasn't even was it an auction? Yeah, because it said until it started getting bids it sold for $474.50 and the buyer paid shipping. So awesome sale again. That's I believe it's 360 vintage company 360 vintage co I'll try to remember to pop up a screenshot of his instagram, but beautiful handmade jewelry you guys. He's amazing And it's funny because I've known him for about Let's see 2009 probably two and a half three years and I just know him through facebook. Um, He reached out and we just communicate through there every once in a while um But him talking me into getting on those other platforms is just like I am so thankful for that So whenever I have the opportunity to shout him out, I am like I am shouting him out because He like has changed My world like I was like no way no way. Am I doing it? I'm not I'm not cross posting I don't want to do it and now I'm just like selling stuff on all these other platforms and making all that extra money. So okay, the next one is Paid $7.50 at an estate sale put it on an auction on ebay And had a bidding war and sold it for $431 you guys plus shipping um They are DENON Denon Denon HDM 100 metal position type Um, they're sealed cassettes. I believe they're blank cassettes and blank cassettes range from bread and butter to big money Apparently these are a rare hard to find because oh my goodness Um, $431 and there's 10 of them. That's it. That's amazing Found this at an estate sale paid three dollars and it sold for 160 plus shipping So it's this vintage new old stock iceberg history rare Linus sweater 2xl and it looks really small 2xl Does that look like a 2xl?  Like the hanger is like Going into the sleeves help me out with this when you guys let me know in the comments what you think like I'm so confused. Um, maybe it shrunk, but it's still sold for 160. So maybe I don't know Maybe the person that um posted it will Message in the comments because I can't see the measurements or anything Okay, the next one says purchase at a yard sale for 10 bucks plus have two Action figures listed at 49.99. This is a vintage ghost busters ghost trap backpack With the gun and the accessories and it sold for 75 plus shipping All right, the next one bought for six dollars at the goodwill sold for full asking price in less than 48 hours Whenever somebody says that it sold within a few days I'm like paying attention because the quick sales are the best the big money quick sales are even better. So this is a grip Looks like a backpack Yep And it says 16 Disc storage. So maybe some sort of athletic backpack 175 bucks on that one guys From an estate sale near Chicago paid a dollar didn't think much of it at first until I got home and did some research It is a very very very old book and um, it says Half dime library bound. I don't know what that means Deadwood I'm not gonna say that you guys can read the title I know it's probably a name, but I'm just not gonna go there. Uh, so it's a book you guys It's sold for 350 dollars these old books. I mean you got to look them all up I am guilty of walking right past them because I don't want to do the research But sometimes the research pays off Okay, the speaker recorder paid four dollars and it sold for 70 the advent calendar found at the benz was offered 80 and 100 declined and sold at full asking price for 200 So it looks like it's a digital audio handy recorder Looks like this and then the other one is a um Avon advent calendar and I actually have one of these currently listed So I would love to get 200. I don't even think I have mine listed I think I'm trying to get 175 out of mine and mine has the mouse So even if it doesn't have the mouse, you can still sell them for big money You can sell the mouse separately if you only have the mouse. There are actually people out there that make mice that look like The advent calendar and then people buy the reproductions to use in the calendar that they have bought that doesn't have a mouse Pretty cool, right? Little fun fact All right Got this at the benz for about a dollar sold in less than a week for full asking price Is this how people fall in love with ugly sweaters? Um, I'm gonna say yeah, she sold it for 55 bucks I will pick up any ugly sweater if I can get 55 dollars for it. It is a vintage ocean pacific There's a name. I haven't heard for a while men's geometric sweater So 55 dollars free shipping bought this vintage polo nylon hat at the goodwill Pound store she called it so the benz. I'm guessing that's what she's saying Paid about 20 cents and it sold within five minutes guys Of listing for full price definitely left money on the table. So She probably did Um, but that's okay. That's how you learn I told you guys my scream mask story in the other video that I just did it happens I mean, that's how we learned but vintage Ralph Lauren That's another one that if I've got it I'm probably gonna auction it first just to feel out the market because there is a huge market for vintage Ralph Lauren um I mean huge So $200 is still a fantastic return on 20 cents But if she had listed it on an auction who knows how high it would have gone So definitely consider that on vintage Ralph Lauren The next one paid 50 cents at local honey hole sold 20 minutes after listing. Okay, you guys guess what? I have a polo category video on Avon items to be on the lookout for yes, you're looking at me going avon really? Yep, really some avon is a big money polo. Here is an example This is a vintage avon new old stock hairbrush. Yes. I said hairbrush Um $99 and 99 cents and I just love these types of bolos So if you guys don't know about what items that avon sells to be on the lookout for definitely go check out that video I actually just sold an item yesterday. It's a nativity set by avon. It's called There's two different types this is the smaller one It's not it doesn't go for as much But I didn't even have the complete set and it sold within I think within a day for $56 plus shipping It'll be in one of my future videos um I wish I could remember what the actual like Name of the set was but I can't so I apologize, but you can look up avon nativity Um, there's bigger ones and those can be a bolo also. So anytime I look up all nativities you guys a lot of times. There are big money bolo. So just look them up All right, you guys thank you for being here in the comments. Leave me an emoji Of your favorite bolo. No, I'm kidding. I don't know if you can but you could probably do a brush if that was your favorite How about leave me an emoji of something you do like a curling iron a brush A comb a pick something leave me a hair accessory a bow emoji All right, you guys like I said, there's going to be three parts to this month's Uh video because I think there were over 120 people that shared and again, I just couldn't narrow it down So I'm just going to do all three videos I'm going to see if three is too much. You guys let me know in the comments Do you like them enough to have three of them or is just three too much? I don't know how it could be too much because you're getting so much information jam packed into one video So look for part one and part two again I'm sorry. This is part two look for part one and part three Um If you're not subscribed to my sourcing with bolo buddies youtube channel It looks like that definitely go over there and subscribe Make sure you have the bell turned on to both channels And I may put end up in the future putting some of this content over there just to um Keep some variety on both channels. So I don't know. I haven't quite decided yet This is still kind of a new series for me, but I'm really loving it So let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you for being here.

The soy moratorium was established in 2006 as a voluntary agreement between major soybean companies to refrain from trading soybeans grown in areas of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon biome. This study used remote sensing data to identify soybean plantations in these areas, which decreased the need for aerial surveys by nearly 80%. The results suggest that the soy moratorium has had some success in reducing deforestation in the Amazon biome, although it is too early to definitively link the moratorium with the observed decrease in deforestation. This article was authored by Bernardo Machado Pérez, Daniel Ferlan Amral, Leandro Fabiani, and others.


So today we are going to talk about the most reasonable thing that I would like to see blend to steal from ZBrush. But real quick, just to finish off the discussion from last video, a couple of you mentioned how you can hold the alt key and blend it to get more or less the same results as in Maya. And while it's very similar, I think it's important to note that it only works for simple variables like position, rotation and scale. It still doesn't work for things like modifiers, constraints, drivers or materials. But again, I think the bigger problem is that it's not intuitive and it's not ergonomic. Like really, it's not comfortable to hold the alt key while you're typing stuff. And even with the alt key, it's still faster and simpler in other software like Maya and Unity. So I stand by what I said and I still think we should adopt the faster, more intuitive system. Okay, let's talk ZBrush. There's actually a lot of things that I'd like to see blended take from ZBrush, but remember for this series, I'm trying to keep these recommendations realistic, constructive and reasonable for blenders small team to implement. So today I'm just going to list the smallest thing that I think would make a huge difference very easily. So I want you to imagine that you are completely new, day one 3D artist. You literally just installed Blender. You know nothing about anything, but you do know that you want to make awesome, beautiful characters and can't wait to start sculpting something incredible. So you open Blender and now you're looking at this and you're looking for the next step. You got a cube on the screen, but you need a human body. So you waste some time going online and you find that shift day is how you get new objects onto the screen. You try that out and well, you get this. That's clearly not what you wanted. So frustrated again. You go back online and you download a free 3D based body. But then you realize you don't know how to get it inside of Blender. So once again, you go back online. You watch some more tutorials in order to learn how to import objects into a scene. And after lots of tutorials, hundreds of extra clicks and a lot of time, you finally learn where sculpt mode is and have a human body on the screen. This is day one for every new 3D character artist when they first get into Blender. Now let me show you what day one for a new Z brush artist looks like in contrast. Once again, you're excited.  You're nervous because you have no idea what you're doing. You open the software for the first time ever. And as soon as Z brush starts up, this is what you see. And whoa. Look here. What's this? That kind of looks like a good place to start. You click it and bam. Within five seconds of opening the software, you are already sculpting your first character with a fully mature, beautiful adult female body. Literally after the first thing you click. It's simple, efficient, fast, and again, most importantly, intuitive. The developers of Z brush anticipated what you wanted and made sure that it was easy, simple, and as painless as possible. You don't have to fumble around looking for add-ons. You don't have to waste your time finding free models. No research and important export tutorials. This is just standard default factory set in Z brush out of the box. They clearly wanted you to spend less time learning the software and more time using the software because it's not about Z brush. No one cares about Z brush. Z brush is just a hammer. It's a tool to get to the awesome art. Now I am honestly surprised that to this day that we still don't have ready to go base male and female bodies out of the box clearly visible for new users right like don't get me wrong. I love Suzanne as much as the next guy. But let's be honest, nobody in the history of history got into 3D because they wanted to sculpt Donkey Kong and there's literally thousands of free human base models Blinda could use. Hell, I'd happily fix up Blinda and Blendo for the task if they contacted me. But my point is there should be default human bodies out of the box and they should be intuitive and easy to find. You shouldn't have to look for them. They should just be there. You should be able to find them on accident. Now the main argument that I've seen against this is well you can add your own measures to the list if you want and that's true. But you have to learn how to do that on top of everything else that a new Blender user is going to have to learn on the first day. That's a lot of extra clicks and minutes wasted on something that could have just been one click if we just put base bodies right here. Again, there was a lot of other things that I originally had on the list. Blender should steal from Z brush. But this was the smallest and most reasonable thing that I could see the Blender devs implementing tomorrow if they wanted. So that's the main thing I'd like to see and I think it would save new users a lot of time. If you'd like to see the other things I had on the list, let me know in the comments down below. Otherwise, as always, I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


Welcome to improving the security and licensing of your software using OSS Review Toolkit. My name is Sankalpa Menon and doing this talk together with Thomas Steen-Bergen. In this presentation, we will show you how we answer the question, which software do you rely on? This question is important as we see more and more supply chain attacks that exploit high impact vulnerabilities. Besides supply chain attacks, we also see sustainability issues, where a single person is the maintainer for a package used by thousands of others. One of the solutions we adopted is to create software bill of material for our software, which you can think of it as an ingredient list on your Coca-Cola bottle. Software bill of materials are awesome. As an ingredient list for your software, they provide you with a lot of things you need for compliance. They can also help you draft the unified approach to security in your software supply chain. And if you're buying software, they can help you know which vulnerabilities are in the software that you're right to buy. That said, it may be difficult to draft an S-bomb, as software is often complex and not all the package method is available. You might also see several false alarms for vulnerabilities if we're included of source dependencies that you may not even be using. It may also be very time intensive to trace down all the components and to train your developers. Also opponents of S-bombs have raised questions about the effectiveness of S-bombs in preventing cybersecurity attacks. That said, we believe S-bombs are a step towards transparency and fidgets and can help anyone identify and address risks. One of the tools that you can use to generate a second DX or SBX S-bomb for your software is OZSV Toolkit, or Oort for short, which is an open source project on the Linux foundation. Besides being able to generate S-bombs, it has many other useful features, which is why we use it and contribute to it. For example, it has a very powerful policy engine that allows you to write licensing security or engineering standards checks on your software. Say, for example, if there's a particular license that you don't like to see included in your software, you can have Oort flagged for you. You can also use it to check for security vulnerabilities. Or to comply with your license obligations, it has built-in support for multiple scanners that you can use to scan the source code of your project or its dependencies for copyrights and licenses. One of those obligations may be that you have to provide a source code bundle. Well, you can use Oort to generate one for you. Overall, Oort has a modular design that makes it easy to integrate and customize it to your needs. Let's now see Oort in action with a little demo. In this demo, we'll show you how you can mainly trigger analysis of your toolkit scan in GitLab and how you can integrate it into a GitLab pipeline file. So that whenever you make a code chain to your project, an Oort scan will get executed. For those who are new to OSS review toolkit, this is the main code repository. The readme of the project shows what does the various Oort components do and how you can install it on your machine. To use Oort in GitLab, we recommend you to use this repository. Following the Oort for GitLab installation instructions, we mirror the GitHub repository in our GitLab account. And it looks like this. For this demo, we are going to scan the fork of a MIME type repository. Once you have Oort for GitLab set up in your local mirror, click Pipelines under CICD and click the button Run Pipeline. Once you click it, you would see a page like this. To save some time for this demo, I already prefilled the values. To do an Oort scan, you have to fill first five values. Others are optional. The first value is software name, software version, code repository type, code repository URL, and code revision that you would like to scan. Once the values are filled in, scroll all the way down and click on Run Pipeline. I already did this and here you see what you get when your scan is completed. To see the scan results, click on the Oort scan. Here you see the logs of the scan and scan results can be found under job artifacts. Click on Oort results and here you would see the various reports generated by Oort scan. For example, the web app report. This report contains all the necessary SBOM information. The first tab contains the license and the package information. The revision and all the files that have been scanned. The second tab contains the packages, the version and the license information. You can view it in the Tree tab as well. And when you expand it, it would look like this. If you like Oort to be executed whenever you make a code change to your GitLab code repository, simply add Oort to your GitLab CI demo file as the include statement as shown here. Be sure to update the value for project to the location where you have mirrored the Oort for GitLab code repository in your GitLab account. Next add an Oort scan job as shown here. In this case, we've configured the Oort scan to be executed in the test stage and this pipeline defines three stages, build, test and lint. Next we've configured it to do two retries. This is a generic option that GitLab has for every old job. We do this so basically in case there is a network issue, when trying to retrieve a code repository for a dependency, it will do another run of Oort scan. So this will help us hopefully to get more successful pipelines. Next we'll define some variables. You can actually omit these and Oort for GitLab will use default values, but in this case we added them for demo purposes just to show what you can do. So here we set the software name for the project in case it's a useful option, in case the software name of the project is different than what is defined in the code. Next we can define the software version and here we define the code repository to be scanned. Finally we set the option that Oort has to allow dynamic versions to true. Basically what it does is it allows scanning of projects even if the package manager requires a log file and the log file is missing. Next we set the license scanning reports. For people familiar with GitLab, this is exactly the same how GitLab's own license scanning mechanism works, but in this case instead of using GitLab's built-in license scanner, we're basically using the results from an Oort scan. So let's look how such a pipeline looks like when it's executed. So here you see it, the build test, so dependencies get installed, then they can test it and here you see an Oort scan being executed. Next you can open this file by right clicking it, you'll see the logs and for the results you can click the browse button and then click on Oort results and then you see the various results files. Now this might seem like a lot of clicks, we did this. If you run Oort for GitLab in a merge request, actually it will automatically add a code command to the top of the merge request window and then you have a simple link directly to the Oort's results. Now we will show you how you can use Oort's VToolkit to generate a CycloDX or SPDX S-Bomb in GitLab. Oort for GitLab generates by default various reports including CycloDX and SPDX-Bomb for your software. Here it can be found bomb.cyclondx.xml, bomb.spdx.json and bomb.spdx.yaml. The report bomb.cyclondx.xml looks like this and the report bomb.spdx.json looks like this. Thank you for listening to our talk. If you have any questions or are interested in contributing feel free to chat with us on the Oort Slack channel or reach out to us directly.


Alright, thanks everyone for your patience while we work through technical delays. Now I'd love to introduce Jesus and David on behavioral biometrics and context analytics, if we could all give them a huge round of applause. Hello everyone, thank you for joining us, despite the hand cover. Today we are presenting how we reimagine the RISC-based authentication system. Our work analyzes information from the device and also from the user. From the device, a web-based fingerprinting, and from the user, behavioral biometrics patterns. My name is Jesus Solano, lead data scientist, and this is David Camacho, lead data architect. We both work at sister technologies in the research team. To start, let me ask you something. Aren't you bored of having to remember long and complex passwords? Yes, you are. I am too. How many of you have been in this situation? I think most of you. Okay, you. We have been using passwords during the last 60 years, but they are not secure anymore. And to be honest, they have not been secure for a long time. The question is why? There are two main reasons. The first one, passwords don't validate user identity. And the second one, usually, originally, the passwords are meant to be difficult to guess by other humans. But today we are not dealing with humans guessing passwords. We are dealing with computers guessing passwords, so they are not secure anymore. For instance, imagine that you are setting up your password in your Yahoo account email. Even if you put this long password, you are not safe. The question is why? Well, because it is very easy to guess by a computer. And especially if you are like this kind of people, then you are not safe enough in the web. Now, how are the online services protecting us in the web? How are they protecting our identity? Do you know? Well, that's an important question indeed. Think about your cell phone, think about your email accounts, your corporate accounts. How are they protecting our data and our identity? What are they doing, what do you have to do to protect them? So definitely, many of you, if not all of you, have been in this situation looking at this kind of thing, trying to match all the requirements and you end up with a long password that you cannot remember or you just put it through, I don't know, some password manager or something. That's kind of hard and it's difficult to remember, right? To enforce the password protection or maybe the model that we use right now with passwords, the system has to ask us to set up some security questions or challenge questions. But these questions have another problem. It also requires a lot of our memory and we have two different options. If we want to remember them, we just put the truth, like literally the truth of what they're asking us. But that's information that may be publicly available and it's easy to guess. And if not, we just create some random made up answer but it's hard to remember. So again, you throw it up to a last pass or any password manager that is able to store these questions. And finally, they enforce the security using symptoms like CAPTCHA. But CAPTCHA can only tell or differentiate between humans and computers or maybe bots, et cetera, for this one. It is a robot arm that is able to bypass another robot test. So it's not secure enough, definitely. We need actually something that actually protects our identity and focuses on something different beyond just secrecy. Cyber security industry in the latest years came up with three main approaches. The first one is passwordless logging. The idea with passwordless logging is that you want to replace your password with something that is dynamically created like an OTP but it's attached to your device and your device can also be stolen. The other way to do this is just use biomedical information like your face recognition or fingerprint recognition. However, these patterns can or maybe this system can be easily fooled. We saw in a previous presentation that you could just add some noise to an image and the system will be fooled.  Another important approach is the continuous authentication. The continuous authentication is not meant for starting logging. I mean, not for the password or logging time. It's meant for the use of the system. It tries to understand how you interact with the system and stop anyone that is not you from doing any possible harm. However, this approach takes a long time window and it opens a huge window to the attacker to be successful. And finally, there is the connection behavior. The connection behavior what does is trying to understand how you connect the system in terms of connection, timing, location or even your device. However, there are two particular problems here. The first one is that if you are very stable in your behavior, like you always connect from your office the same IP, the same machine at the same time, labor hours, the time you are traveling or you're connecting from your home, you will have a false positive and will annoy you with a second factor authentication or something. And if you travel a lot, anything will be normal for you. So you never, I mean, you'll always be exposed and you will never have an alert, right? So the main goal we want to do with our project, with our proposal here is to successfully validate the user's identity. I mean, avoid just relying on secrecy, on passwords that are not revealed and start looking at who are the people who claims to be. Since early 2000s, there have been two main approaches to analyze this problem. The first one, the context-based authentication and the second one, the behavioral biometrics authentication. In the first one, we can create a profile from the user from the connection patterns. That means that we are recording the browser, the operating system and also the time of connection and we can recreate a pattern from the user from this connection. In this pattern, you want to differentiate from the user from another one and you can help the user to enhance their security. On the other hand, we have the behavioral biometrics. Here, you want to learn how the user moves the mouse and also how the user types. However, if you want to create a good profile from the user for these patterns, unique patterns, you have to have very long time frames in order to analyze. That means that you cannot analyze it or analyze the user in the login time. You only can analyze the user if you get more than 30 seconds of interactions, but a common login time is less than 25 seconds. This usually works very well on continuous authentication but not in static authentication. Moreover, when we are dealing with this information, you are dealing with information who is sensitive. That means if you are recording the keystrokes typing, then you are recording the password or your credit card number. It is not good. Then you want to analyze the data. But if you analyze the data, the most typical thing that happens is that your model lost predictable information. So you have to make a trade-off between the privacy and the model performance. However, all of this is in the theoretical side. In the real life, the data is complex and the behavioral patterns are very complex. How are they? Well, as many of us may know, in real life, things not oftenly happen the way they were supposed to, right? So we make a lot of assumptions and they are not just fulfilled in the real life. But to create a robust model, something that is usable in the real life for real users, we need at least real data that will make us closer to something that is actually usable. For that, we collected a dataset containing 320 hours of computer-human interaction. It means, in a gamify environment, real people use real computers performing tasks like day-to-day tasks, such as writing emails, browsing on the Internet, or creating documents. From the part of the context data, or device identification, we collected more than 2 million users, real users, and these information of the users were collected using our company's product. So we know that it's real data that is out there. But to test our hypothesis of how this individual and our approach works in static context authentication, we have to test them before. So we created some features out of this data and tried with a random forest algorithm. So our results show that the random forest for the behavioral biometrics in static context authentication, or logging time, if you want to, is 0.79. What does it mean? It means that almost 80% of the time, we know we can differentiate when it's an attack or a real user trying to log in. However, 20% of not recognizing real world means a lot. So at your left, you will see a shadow area in the graph. What this shadow area shows, the best possible area of thresholds you could select for this algorithm. As you can see, the crossing point, which will be like the best you can choose, shows 80% accuracy, but 80% recall. What does it mean? It means that if you're 80% accurate, you can tell a from 10 times when an attacker is occurring. However, two of 10 times, you will let an attacker pass. That's a lot of time, and that could mean a lot of loss and a lot of problems, actually. So as we can see here, the conclusion with this algorithm is that behavioral biometrics by itself will be useful, maybe enough, but you have to select your threshold very, very carefully, and it depends on your data. So in the best case, you have an accuracy of 0.72% or 72%, but if you move just a little bit threshold, you will see an important decrease on your accuracy and also in the recall. So it means every time you move just a little bit threshold, your threshold, you will be losing more and more attacks. Now, testing with the same algorithm, the random forest algorithm, our base context authentication, we see that it has a better performance in general. I mean, we have an AUC value of 0.82%, or close to the 80% again, just a little higher, of accuracy, but it's also sensitive, however, it's more stable. Now, it means that in general terms, people has a normal behavior or unstable behavior that could be predicted, but if you see the plot at your left, you will see there is a threshold that is really low. Also, that means that you are probably missing a lot of attacks or you will confuse a lot of different machines. Also, the known weakness of this algorithm is that the context could be easily mimicked or easily replicated. So these kind of algorithms only works as a decision criteria, but are not definite and definitely it doesn't really protect our identity. So, as you can see here, it's more stable, but the results are not really definitive. I mean, we can catch 75% of the attacks, but 30% of the attacks are just bypassed. So, to finally understand the problem we're trying to solve here, we need to answer this question. Who are we defending from? Who are we protecting our users from? Let us introduce three types of attacks. The first one, the simple attack, the second one, a context attack, and finally, the physical attack. For the simple attack, imagine a hacker anywhere in the world who is trying to log in in your email account. In the context attack, imagine a more sophisticated hacker who is trying to log in your email account, but he or she is replicating your device. And finally, in the physical attack, imagine you are tired and you want to get some coffee, you get up and go for the coffee, but in this time, a colleague from you takes your machine and filters some important data. Now, let us show how the before the previous model behaves in these three types of attacks. First one, the context-based model. It performs very well in the simple attack because you are from a different machine, then we can recognize the hacker. But in context and physical, we cannot recognize the hacker because the hacker is different from you. Then it missed the authentication. On the other hand, the behavioral biometrics only performs good in the first simple and context attacks, but it doesn't perform very well in physical attacks because the person is different. So today we are proposing a new model which combines information from those models, and then we create a new combined approach which performs very good in all the three simple or all the three types of attacks. The question is how? How we combine these models? Well, takes the information from the behavioral biometrics, add the information from the web-based fingerprinting, and create for each one a machine learning algorithm, in this case a random force. Then you have an output for the behavioral biometrics and also an output for the web-based fingerprinting. If you sum up or you combine these outputs, you can create an enhanced security model. How is this combination? Well, we made a sensitive analysis and then we combine in a parametric linear combination the outputs of these machine learning algorithms. After saying that, our results are very good compared to the single models. Here you can see the AUC, and it is almost 21 better than the other single models. Also, you can see here that the receive operative characteristic curve or rogue curve is softer compared to the single models. Here the dash line is for the coin. That means that you are guessing, but when you are close to the point 0, 1, then you are in the better scenario. As you can see, the green line is the best scenario of our three models. That means the combined model. To be more specific, let me show some statistics about our model. First, the precision is higher, but that means for the real user that we are increasing, that we are reducing the friction because we are reducing the false positive. If you reduce the false positive, then it is easily than a legitimate user lock in the website. On the other hand, we are reducing the false negative. That means that we are increasing the security because an hacker is very difficult to access to the system. Finally, if you sum up these two metrics and also add the accuracy, then we are creating a more robust model. All of these models are based on robustness, but also are reducing the friction from the user. In conclusion, our model outperforms the other single models by combining the information from the behavioral biometrics' unique patterns and also from the context-based authentication. In this way, we are also reducing the friction that a final user sees when he is trying to access to the system and finally increasing the security of an legitimate user. As you can notice here, it is only possible for we are only testing in static authentication. That means less than 50 or less than 30 seconds. However, if you imagine these 30 seconds as a time window and you aggregate the time windows, we are easily straightforward, we are extensive this problem to the continuous authentication problem. So this model is working well not only in the static authentication but also in the continuous authentication program. Well, to close this talk, I want you to leave three things so you can take it home. The first one is that as landscape security has changed and evolved since a lot of years ago, the focus of security nowadays should be focused on who are you, on identity, not just secrecy, because we've been working with an old model and it's just easily to fault. Second, the behavior are just little details that tells a lot about us. Focusing on these little details will increase a lot our security and that is because first of all, it's hard to replicate that kind of little details and second of all, because it will tell who is the real person and who is not. And finally, I hope we could convince you that security is not the complete opposite of user experience. In this case, we're not just increasing the security of logging but also reducing the annoyance of having to perform a second-factor authentication or having to remember long and complex stuff or just trying to pass in a simple challenge that even a machine can pass. So that's everything we have today. Hope you like it and we're ready for taking some questions. Thank you. Actually, here the attacks are artificially generated. That means that an action from the one user is the attacks from another user because they are performing the same action in the dataset. Then you can have this user as an attacker from this user. The short answer here is yes, we use it. However, basically the main difference here is that behavioral biometrics by itself or on its own is not enough for static user. I mean for logging time like less than 15 seconds where you're typing your password and stuff but if you combine that using behavioral biometrics a little difference of our future extraction with it and you combine it with a sensitivity of the device identification and connection behavior you will have a better accuracy because what makes our approach better in the results is the combination rather than using just one single approach. So as most of the machine learning algorithms the output saying that it is an attack is just an actionable alert. That means that when an attack is detected the system will take an action based on maybe the threshold or the level of alert or whatever. So think about you detect 70% probability of attack. That seems suspicious but not necessarily malicious, right? So you may want to actually annoy the user with a second factor authentication but what then happens is a lot less than usual or the individual approaches and if you have like a 99% of attack you could just deny the action. Okay, I want to repeat the question basically the question is about if we replace password with this approach will hackers have another vector of attack? It's serverless? Okay, that's an excellent question here is that as you're logging once again one important thing is that you have some sort of noise maybe I mean you... every time you type your password or moved your mouse you won't do it exactly the same time however you have like habits, right? We're trying to detect the habits and if someone tries to imitate that habits it will be very very hard because the time is so little and the difference could be so noticeable and of course our algorithms are I mean a system that uses any machine learning algorithm will be free trained because it won't last forever, right? So at the end of the day one of the cool things that maybe we didn't show but it's important here is that we could use little interactions to start identifying people and as the attackers and actual people tries to log in into the system we could just train it with more and more data that cables a better recognition of the very profiling of the users so at the end we don't necessarily need to replace password per se we could just use it as a better identity double check maybe that's part of our approach Actually for... we don't create one model we create two models one for each one and the features for each model are different because one are features from the context base and other for the behavioral biometrics features from each model when they give one output in the machine learning output then we create a RIS based model that means that we sum up the outputs and then we create a final output this output is probabilistic as they say but this output is giving us a level of RIS that this connection is legitimate or maybe an attack and a sensitive analysis and we found out that the model who is contributing most than the other in this case is the context base authentication because we have more data in this case but also because the connection patterns is more easy to get despite of the other behavioral biometrics Well, basically your question if I get it right what happens when a hacker could bypass one individual model and then sum it up like conjoin attack okay, so first of all we showed earlier that there are like three categories of attack there is another kind of four category of attack that we didn't show because it's just our future work and here's the thing if a hacker is able to bypass one single model I mean individually that actually requires a lot of work I mean in terms of like investigating information to replicate your machine or actually having physical access to your machine the other part is how or what are hackers doing to actually replicate a valid behavior of you because as I said before it's more than I mean exactly the same values each time you login but you will have close enough values and that difference is what I'm trying to measure, right? Now, someone that takes the time and time enough or puts himself on the task or doing both stuff it's definitely a target attack and it's less probable and it's kind of out of the scope right now because that's part, I mean that's part of our future work and so the short answer here will be yeah, it's definitely probable that if someone achieves to bypass both attacks individually maybe a conjoined attack could bypass kind of easily our current work but we haven't created that kind of a scenario yet I think that's all the time we have thank you for joining us


Welcome to the Hawaii Smooth Jazz Connection. I am your host, Gwendolyn Harris. My guest today is a multi-talented guitarist, writer, producer, and performer who is quickly becoming a recognized household name in contemporary jazz. Having shared the stage with the likes of Najee, Gerald Albright, Brian Simpson, James Lloyd, and Alex Pyong, just to name a few. You can find him at jazz festivals and clubs and other events here in the United States and abroad. Not only is he my homeboy from Philadelphia, but let's welcome my guest today, Mr. David P. Stevens to the show. Oh, hi, Gwen. I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Thank you so much for having me. No, thank you for being here. As I stated, you are from Philadelphia. You're my homeboy from Philly. That's right. That's right. You are my homeboy from Philly. West Philly. Yes. Southwest. But thank you so much for being here. I want people to know about you, because when I first found out about you, it was on Facebook, and I think you joined my Facebook group or whatever the case may be, and ever since then, you know, I've been following you. We've been messing with each other about trying to get you here to Hawaii, and you know that's going to happen, right? But tell us. That's right. Tell us and tell my viewers exactly what got you into music. So well, got me into music in general. I was just being in church and watching the church musicians and watching how cool they were and just all the music that was coming out of it just got me really interested in it. And then as far as guitar, the guitar player who was at my church was a really cool guy. You know, the guy used to wear the muscle shirts and have Jerry Curl and all that kind of stuff. And so I thought he was so cool, and I wanted to learn how to play, you know, to just kind of initially to be like him, but then I really fell in love with the guitar. Now, I know that you became a professional musician at the age of 14. Right. I know that. I know that for a fact. Right. Right. What other instruments do you play? Because I know you play more than just a guitar, being modest right now. You play more than just a guitar. What other instruments do you play? Right. Well, let's see. Actually, bass guitar. I started off playing piano, and then I quit because my mom forced me to do it. But then I quit piano, but then I picked it back up again, and so I do a lot of piano. I write and produce, and I also sing. Yeah. And I can play drums a little. I had to play drums in church for many years, so I can get by right. Oh, really? Oh, really? Okay. Okay. Now, the title of the show, and you and I talked about this, it's David P. Stevens, the return of Mr. Guitar. Who is Mr. Guitar? Well, that was a nickname. Well, it's funny. On my third album, my third album was actually, my fourth album was called Mr. Guitar. And the explanation behind it was that I had kind of tried to be some, another kind of artist. You know, I tried to fit into a box, and the Mr. Guitar was kind of the coming out party. It was like saying, listen, this is who I really am, and this is what I'm going to do. And it was a very conversation. He's even the cover had like a blue flame coming up out of the back of the brain. And it got a lot of attention. And just over the years, I kind of fell back into doing some other stuff, and, you know, I recently realized, you know, it brings back that Mr. Guitar. And that's what it's, you know, that's what's coming out now. I like it. I like it. The return of Mr. Guitar. Now, for those of you that... Of course. For those of you that don't know, I recently saw you last month at the Long Beach Jazz Festival. Right. Right. Yeah. Saw you at the Long Beach. Yeah, we finally met first. Yes. That's where we finally, finally met. And you were just, you are just amazing. Just amazing. Thank you. And I tell you this all the time. When I see your things come through in the Facebook group, and just hearing you in general, you are amazing. This is the question that I want to ask you is what sets you apart from other guitarists? What sound, what makes your sound different from others? The first thing is, I had the unapologetic city edge. You know, you're born and raised in Philadelphia. There's a certain sound that is bred, you know, kind of like involved and still whatever you want to say in us. And so I have that. And it's a whole, you know, kind of a slagger thing. And you know, there's also all of the influences that I had, which kind of will shape my sound. So I feel like my sound is more like soulful with a little bit of rock in it, a little bit of fusion. And then singing, too, also kind of helps frame the way that I play my notes differently. Now, you talked about your influencers. Who are some of those influencers? Who are some of the people that influenced you? In range. So the first introduction was George Benton. And then to Steve Lucifer and Mike Stern and John McLaughlin and John Scofield and all these heavy jazz cats, you know, fusion jazz cats, you know, those of them are. And then how them feel like I was there was probably one of my biggest influences. Nice. And then I can't forget. I can't forget Norman Brown. Oh, no, you cannot. No, you cannot. See, I've read about you. So I know, I know some of this. I know some of your influences. And I guess Norman Brown, George Benton, all those heavy hitters are your influences. And I can hear it in your play. When you play, I can definitely hear it. I hear that mixture of all of them. Now, you have worked, you have worked with many, you have worked with many artists. Okay. Right. Who would you like to collaborate with? Somebody that you haven't worked with. Who would you like to collaborate with? There are many. I would love to work with Fantasia. I would love to work with Maxwell. I would love to work with Jill Scott. You know, just those maybe singers. You know, I've been blessed to work with a lot of jazz artists as far as instrumenting it. But I've always wanted to do a lot more with singers. I've done some stuff. I had Jaguar right on one of my albums. And I don't want to start naming stuff. But yeah. So, Michael Cole, I mean, so many people, so I really like to collaborate with singers. You know, I feel like they bring out a different period of time. So those that I mentioned, I would really love to work with them. Awesome. Awesome. Now, we're going to talk about your albums. You haven't, I have them listed here because I couldn't, I could not remember them at all. But we're going to start, you know, starting in 1999, you had, was it from Thoughts to Actions? Correct? Oh, yeah. That's right. Right. That's right. Okay. 2005, you had Timeless. That's right. 2008, you had, was it the Shed? Shed. Uh-huh.  Right. And these last two that I'm going to get to, 2016, you had an album titled Love City, which they say was one of your best albums. Right? Right, that's what, yeah. And then 2018, which is your latest one, Rogue. And I've heard both of them. You know, I just love your music. I'm a fan of you anyway. But I'm not even going to tell you which one I like better. But I'm going to put you on the spot and ask you which one you like the most. Thank you. I'm not even going to tell you which one I like better. But I'm going to put you on the spot and ask you which one of your albums, out of all of those, and anything that you've done, which one is your favorite? So it's hard to do that, but I will. I'm going to say Mr. Guitar was between Mr. Guitar and Rogue. It's a tie. Because those are the albums that I took the most chances, most artistic, most artistic chances. I kind of, even though I really love Love City and all of them, they all have an interesting story. Like time, when that came out, I was trying to decide what I wanted to be. So it's kind of, you can hear there's all kinds of influences going on through that album. But, you know, as I started to get older, I started kind of, you know, be able to mirror whatever was going on in that particular time playing and make a pretty, you know, an album from that. So, yeah, so I would say Mr. Guitar and Rogue. So what was your thought process on Rogue when you were making Rogue? How did you come about with that title and, you know, with the album title? What was your thought process on that? Again, I probably, because I'm in the smooth jazz genre, and don't get me wrong, I love the genre. I love the guys, you know, and the ladies who are performing. And I think it's amazing. But I think I wanted to kind of veer off from it on this last album. I wanted to do something that was a little more edgy and showed a little bit more of my range. So if you like really dig in, you can hear all kinds of stuff in that album. It was made to like be a departure from everything that I had already done. So I'm excited about that one because it's just like, I mean, you know how you have your song, everybody has their song in the key of life. For me, I feel like that was my, that was my one. That was it, right? Right. Now you recently, and we've discussed this, you recently moved from Philly to California. How's that been for you? I love, let me tell you, I love LA. It has been amazing, amazing. It's hot, but different from Philly. Yeah, like today, oh my goodness, my computer, the first time I've ever seen a temperature thing pop up on the computer and it just kept shutting down. But, you know, it's just hot. Yeah, I love it. Other than that, it's been amazing. It's been one of the best moves that I've made, you know, career-wise. There's something going on every day. And that's how I was going to ask you, career-wise, if you think it was one of your best moves, huh? Absolutely, absolutely. And everybody's here. Yes. It's a little quicker.  It's like, you know, come over and record this part. And then we're done, you know. Yeah. It's an easy thing. So I like that. I like that. Nice. Nice. We have to go, we're going to go on a quick break, everyone. And we will be right back. So stay tuned. Don't go anywhere. Be right back. Aloha, my name is Duretian. You are watching Think Tech Hawaii. I will be hosting a show here every other Wednesday at 1 p.m. And we will be talking to a lot of experts and guests around sustainability, social justice, the future here in Hawaii, progressive politics, and a whole lot more. So please tune in. And thank you for watching Think Tech Hawaii. Hello, I'm Mufi Hanamit. I want to tell you about a great show that appears on Think Tech Hawaii. It's all about tourism. In fact, we call it Tourism 101. When we talk about the issues and challenges, that faces our number one industry throughout the state. We'll have some interesting guests from a very informative dialogue and allow you an opportunity to maybe learn a little bit more about why this industry is so important for our state. It's been great for us in the past. We need it today. And especially going forward. That's Tourism 101 on Think Tech Hawaii. Mahalo. Aloha. Welcome back to the Hawaii Smooth Jazz Connection. And I am your host, Gwendolyn Harris. And with me today, I have one of my favorites, one of my homeboys from Philadelphia, multi-talented smooth jazz artist, Mr. David P. Stevens. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. I am so happy that you are here with me. Well, you're not here. I wish you were here with me in the studio, but you're here with me. Yeah, we're on the show. We have to do that. We have to do that when I come. We got to go do something in the studio. Yes. Most definitely. Now, we've talked about a few things. We've talked about your albums. We've talked about you moving to California. But one thing that I do want to talk about, and I asked this of everyone. I asked this of everyone, all of my guests. And I'm pretty sure that you grew up playing music in the schools, right? In Philadelphia? In my school? Kind of sorta? No. No. Actually, I was playing outside of school. Outside of school. I never got in the school band, because I was so busy doing stuff outside of school. Well, my question to you, because I know that I played music in the schools, and I know a lot of other people have played music in the schools, you know, for me, even up through college at Hampton University in the marching band. So my thing is, right now, they are taking the arts and music out of the schools, in some schools they are. What is your thought on that? I think that's horrible. I mean, I think, you know, even though I didn't play music in school, I had a lot of friends who are hit producers today and hit writers today. And musicians and everybody who got their start playing in school. And I know for many of them, the music programs saved their lives.  So I think it's awful to take, you know, music programs or any kind of artistic programs out of school. You know, we, I think there needs to be some kind of outside funding or something like that that should go into to help them bring the instruments back and create programs. Taking the schools that you can't afford it. And cutting that is, is cutting expression. Yes, yes. And I, you know, I agree with, I definitely, excuse me, I definitely agree with you.  Them songs are moving up on the charts. For new artists that are coming into the music industry. Some make it and some don't. What, what advice would you give to them? What advice would you give to a new artist that's coming into the industry today? A couple things. One, I would say study your craft.  It's not just competing against, you know, a local talent. I mean, with the internet, you're competing against the best artist. So you've got to make sure that your talent is up there as well. But then I will stay focused a lot on your foundation building. This is like your website, your EPK, your, you know, all the things that you need to send to promoters. Add a material that you need.  And learn a business. If you want to know, learn the music business. Because it is a business. It is a business for real. It is a business for real. Now, you know, you know I love your music, David, right? Do you think that you would be able to play a little something for us right now? Sure, sure, sure. Just a little something, something. Just a little something, something. Yeah, I try to do it. I don't know if you'll be able to hear it, but I'll try. Okay. Can you hear that? I can. Can you hear that? I can hear it. I can hear it. I can hear it. I can hear it. Thank you. So now we ask you, you definitely need to come to Hawaii for real. You need to come to Hawaii for real. What projects do you have coming up? What's going on? What do you have coming up? Where can people go to see? Oh, I'm actually put a lot of writing and production. So I have an interesting story. I'm just, this is my last week of classes until I finished my master's degree of business. And I called this year, I called us to finish my business degree. And so I did not trust you so much on performing and stuff like that. So this coming year, we're seeing a lot more places working on some new, working on a new project, but also writing and producing for a lot of other people. So I just did a song called The Breeze, which is by Latoya London, featuring Najee. And that song is just hit the charts, just hit the radio charts. Wow. We're doing a lot of writing and production. Yeah. I'm excited about that one. Yes. Awesome. Yeah. So just a lot of writing and production and beginning to start to show us for the coming year. Nice. Now you have a website. So where can people find you on your website? What's, what's your website? So my website is DavidSeason.com and you can go there and find out all the latest information. All my social media is DavidSeason. So Instagram, Facebook, all of that stuff. And I try to be pretty interactive.  Wow. So now you're working on your master's, you're at Berkeley, yeah? Right. Berkeley College and New Year's. Wow. How's that going between, I don't know how you do that. It's just, I guess it's just like with anything between doing your studies and working and everything else. Sort of like me juggling stuff around. So I know that it's got to be hard. It was hard. I had to shut down literally everything because the work was so boring. It was literally all day every day you had to be working on, you know, on this topic. And so I don't even know what life is. I don't remember life before it. You know how it was so much work and just like, man, what am I generating? Like the freedom of my experience is amazing. Yes, yes. I'm excited. Well, I thank you so much for joining me here on the Hawaii Smooth Jazz Connection. For all of you that want to know more about my guests, my homeboy, Mr. David P. Stevens, go to davidpstevens.com and I'm going to tell you you will not be disappointed. His bio, he's going to be playing everything is on that website. And go out and see him. He is amazing. Just amazing. Again, David, I thank you so much for joining us here, here on the show. And we definitely need to get you here in Hawaii, most definitely. Thank you. I can't wait. I'm excited. I've been to Hawaii one time and I enjoyed it. And now you're even closer. Now you're even closer because before you came from Philly. So now you're even closer, which is awesome. Well, we'll make sure that we get you, that we will get you back here. To my audience of the Hawaii Smooth Jazz Connection, thank you very much. And until next time. Aloha and God bless.
