Hey, Phil, what's going on? Hey, Tom, doing great. Just wanted to thank you guys and the whole crew. That's content on the internet. Really appreciate everything you guys are doing. We appreciate you growling and prowling us out here. Phil, how did you find us? I just typed in live training in YouTube one morning. I was looking for any type of live training room you guys come up in the kind of quality when I see it, or at least I like to think so.  I appreciate everything you guys do. Welcome to the Tiger film. We appreciate you growling and prowling us. My pleasure. Now, Tom O'Brien, folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We go five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember, folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on, grow so everyone's having a great day, safe day. Make it a great night, folks. Become immune to poison. Don't take anything personally. The whole world can gossip about you. And if you don't take it personally, you are immune. Immunity to poison in the middle of hell is the gift of the second agreement. Excuse me. All right, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries down 161. Nasdaq off 166. S&P's down 26. Gold. Gold contract up $2.30 traded at 2037 an ounce. It gets silver down 17 cents, $22.96 an ounce. Lightsweak crude up 92 cents, $77.96. A barrel, notes and bonds. Ten you don't. Down nine ticks traded in 109.21, the 30 year off 18 at 117.29 and King dollar. King dollar right now is trading down 73 ticks. 104.006, euros at 108. Yens out here at 150 British pounds at 126 to one US dollar. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>, it was called folks. One note's going on in your world. Now the world is a markets, man. This is a trip, okay? So yesterday what we had had, let's take a look at the S&P first. Okay, so we had out here yesterday is even on the spy, the spy did 71 million shares going into 113 million, okay? We're at 33 million today folks, okay? This is saying that we're gonna get a bounce here, man. So it's Wednesday, right? Yeah, this is telling me, you know, I was, this is gonna get interesting. Because this is all happening as we're speaking right now. And the camp that the NASDAQ wants to come down to this high volume low, the second high volume low, not the one it's going into right now. Let me go to the queues for a second. Because it's something happening here that is pretty intense. And what it is, the contraction inside the queues is just huge, man. You know, yesterday we did 52 million. We're at 35, the queues broke a swing at 64, but only did 53. The higher lower one is 64. So we'll wait the hour out just to see whether this thing does explode, you know, up to the fifties, but I don't think it's gonna happen, man. 35 million, let's go over to the NDX.  Z scale is down 14, crowd strikes down 10. You got excellent on up three, Kraft Heinz is up one. Now let's go to Palo Alto. If you wanna see price and volume folks, Palo Alto does it. This is about as intense as it gets. You know, it's down $104. But if you wanna see the last day with volume, check it out, man. I mean, it's almost hard to believe. Yeah, one second, let me put this. Let's put this on. Oh no, I gotta kill, keep it on a daily, one second. Okay, what you're gonna see here is that this equity, let me put it six months. I'll put it on a six month. So you can see how clear this is. This equity kept going. Here it is right here. That's one volume, what did I do? I put this on a weekly, I think. Let me put this on a weekly for a second. Yeah, it was on a weekly, I put it. So on a weekly, what you're gonna see is this. This baby came right down to the last time.  It's gonna go to 247. It hit 260 so far. But what you're gonna see is that there is 264. That from 264 on, and it went all the way up to 380, it had no volume. Now, what happens with equities in general, right, is that you never know when they're gonna come back to the last day with volume. But I can tell you, man, they do it on a continual basis. I mean, you're talking in the 90s, percentile mark, not 16, not 70, and this one did it in a day.  Now that being said, now watch this, because now that's down hard and fast, right? But there's something inside the NDX100 that is saying it's not gonna get smoked. So now let's go to the Nvidia, because the bottom line is that there's an 11, right now in the option market, there's 11% implied move, so that's about $70, okay? Either way. Now, it came off the high. Yesterday, you had volume off the high, slowing down today. My take is this is gonna go a little bit lower, but only a little bit lower. Oh, excuse me, folks, sorry about that.  I think 634, I think, is gonna be game here. That's where it broke out from. Let me put this on a week for a second. Yeah, I don't see any big destruction. And now what I'm doing here, I'm definitely, I'm looking at this, because you can see the volume at the highs is not bad. You had two weeks of not bad volume at the highs, but right there, yeah, this is the number, right here, what number is this? Okay. Well, that's down a bit, hold it. That's five, well, no, that's 583. That's 583. Yeah, that's how this seems to be set up. We'll see. But I don't think it's gonna, well, we'll see how this shakes out, but if that's down to 583, something else is gonna be up quite a bit, because the amount of volume inside of the queues is sad and wants to bounce. Stay right there, folks, come right back. We have it out on 176 NAS, they got 162 S&Ps down at 26, come right back.

Dow's off 187 Nasdaq's, 7161 S&P's down 26. So let's talk about the Fed a little. So the Fed numbers came out from the last meeting, folks. Okay? And the bottom line is that most Federal Reserve officials last month flagged concerns over moving too quickly to cut interest rates indicating that such risk outweighed, keeping borrow costs elevated for too long. The minutes of the January 30-31st meeting showed policymakers remain attentive to the trajectory of inflation, with some worried that progress toward the central bank's 2% target could stall. Together, the record reinforced the Fed's preference for more evidence that inflation is firmly in place. Most participants noted the risk of moving too quickly to ease the stance of policy and emphasize the importance of carefully assessing income data and judging whether inflation is moving down substantially to the 2% number, according to the minutes. Only a couple of the officials pointed to the risk to the economy from waiting too long. Participants did highlight and certainly associated with how long a restrictive monetary policy would need to be maintained. That being said, they do feel that we are at peak rates right now, let's see how they put this. They were unanimously, they voted unanimously not to basically go unchanged. They're saying that, yeah, we're at peak rates, they're just worried men. You can tell my word for a scant, because that's how Powell was on the stage that day. So we'll see where it shakes out, man. We go over to the bond market. The 10 year right now is wavering, man. The 10 year, this is the fifth day, we've been at these lows. He did 2 million shares today. Now the bright part of this, so check this out. So watch this with price and volume, how this works. I was talking about yesterday, you're coming down into a 2.5 million contract low. So we've been here six days now. Yesterday, you end up doing 1.9, which is nice, except it wasn't getting away from the low. Today you're doing two and you're not getting away from the low. That's a problem. When you stay here too long, you can drift down to the next one pretty quickly. Let me go to the TLT and see what the TLT is doing. So if we take a look at the TLT, because the TLT, well, interesting, okay. Yeah, so what the TLT is doing, he's doing the same thing, but look at the contraction of volume here.  This is kind of cool, man, I'm digging this. Okay, so check this out, folks. Look at this. So the TLT is coming into 49 million shares with 24. Now, the price hasn't held, okay. But when we went up last Friday, we went up with 49 million. You're testing 49 million with 24 million. That's telling me that whatever's gonna happen after the closeout here today is gonna pop this market tomorrow. So this is gonna be pretty while watching it, because right now they wanna goose this S&P lower. Let's take a look here. So you're down 30 bucks. Volume's still light, but they're gonna get this price going, man. Yeah, I suspect they're gonna get the price going. Let's go take a look at the Dow industrials. Inside the Dow, I mean, the Dow's off 215, but that's nothing, man. When you're talking, we're talking a 38,000 number, okay. And inside the Dow, the strength versus the weakness out here, you get Nike putting eight points, Caterpillar's seven, nothing big. Well, of course, nothing big as you're down. Goldman's seven, taking away from it, Salesforce minus 44, IBM minus 30. Let's go to Microsoft, because when we were talking with that man, Tim Orge, yesterday I was explaining simultaneously that Microsoft had already hit always going after the lows, yeah. See, Microsoft's testing out here today. It's testing, we got to 397. Oh, look at this, man. You gotta look at this. The low, the high volume low on Microsoft is 397.21. We hit 397.22 today. You got 11 million shares versus 47 million. So we'll see whether it can turn around. It hasn't turned around on price yet, but that is also saying the squeeze is on and meaning specifically when the squeeze is on that you're coming down, there's no more sellers on the way down. Now the real question is, and this happens in the gold market a lot, doesn't happen in the S&P and the NASDAQ as much, is that then where are the buyers? The buyers always can be quicker inside of the two major indices, the S&P and the NDX100. Let's go to the small caps just to take a look at them. Yeah, see, this is pulling back a light volume, man. We're gonna bounce, we're bouncing. Let me go to the trend just for a second. We had a big trend reading yesterday. Yeah, so you're not only at a nine oh today, we closed at a one three four yesterday. Nine oh is not saying too much. We'll take a look at some of the higher volume equities out here, let's see. Nvidia is a big one, that's down 27. Palo Alto, we already talked about that, that's down over 100. Apple is just about flat, down 45 cents. Oh, you wanna see something here, Toe Brothers. Toe Brothers broke out today. Toe Brothers numbers come in, they were good numbers, man. Toe Brothers up 382. Let's see if this is gonna be an ABC up. I don't think it's gonna be an ABC up, but this is a big number, so Toe Brothers, they came in with, excuse me, 1.9 billion, 225 to the bottom line, and excuse me, my God. Here's the quote, so it's mid-January, we have a meaningful uptick in demand that has continued through this past weekend, the CEO said, the bill that's out looked for homes, deliveries in the fiscal year, stocks up 6.5%, Toe Brothers comments, signal a strong start to the bill, this typically busiest season. You know, what you have out here inside the business in general, folks, okay, is that if rates have peaked, which I think they have, I think going the other side of the cycle, and you start seeing rates going down, what's gonna happen with housing?  Dow, Dow Industries right now trading down 179, got the Nasdaq off 151, S&Ps are down 24, gold contract, they're still holding pretty good, down four bucks, 2035 and silver is at 2291. Stay right there, folks, come right back. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball.

Doug's off 165, Nazak's off 146, S&Ps down 23, and after the close, we got a lot of numbers coming out after the close. Inside the metals market, you get that Pan American Silva. Now, this has been in the doghouse for a while, so the low's 12, the high's 19, you're trading at 12.91. Let's see what they're saying they want to do here. Okay, so they're looking to do 659 million and bring 13 cents to the bottom line. And if they do that, that stock's gonna go up because that stock has only done one thing. This stock's highly volatile, but we went from 17 down to 12. Pull this back a bit. Yeah, so that low can still get tested, though. 12, 56. Hey, we'll see what that baby shakes out after the close. The copper market, HG, this baby's on his way to 405. So that's saying that something's happening in general in the world economy. 60,000 contracts out here today. It's been a one-way move for the last four days. Huge volume. If we do this, watch HG1. I'll put this on a generic contract so you can see how we tie these together. And then put this on a weekly, and that's sticking out right there. It was at 407. We got 407. Because when you take a look at this, what you're gonna see also is that, oh, I did a .618. That was a deep retracement. Last time we went down there was a deep retracement, but this thing still looks to me like it's on the run to that 405 to 407 number. And if you get that, you go over to SCCO. Okay, that's the biggest copper stock in the world. It's up 81 cents, no big deal. TGB. These things move when copper moves. That's flat out here today, but this one was higher priced, too. I think we had, this thing was 195 or something. Let's go to Bob in Southern California. Hey, Bob, what's going on, brother? Oh, fine, Tom, how are you? I'm doing good, man, yourself? It doesn't get any better than this, Tom. That's a beautiful thing, man. I was wondering if you could give me an entry point for Plant Air PLTR. Let's take a look. You got Plant Air Technologies. Right now it's trading 22.65. The lowest $7.19, the highest 25. They come up with their numbers on May 8th. Okay, oh, interesting. I see what you're looking at. Oh, yeah. So you get a breakout. Yeah, let me put this on a weekly for a second. Okay, that's quite a bar. So you broke out at 1648. What happened, folks, two weeks ago went from 1648 to $25. The closer you can get to this 1698, Bob, the better off you are. I mean, I know that's a long way away from where we are right now. But these things get dangerous when you buy them up at this level. Do you know what I mean? Because a normal pullback, that's a normal pullback and then it can take off again. So let me just look at this for a second. So let's see. So you have a shot interest of 5.81. It's not bad, not great, not bad. So you're not gonna get a squeeze. May 8th is when they're coming out with the numbers. I would just sit there and just wait, man. Because the problem is that if you buy it here, a normal retracement brings it back to its breakout area just 1650. And then when you take a look at this on a larger basis, oh, hold it right there for a second. Oh, boy, hold it one second. This is an ABC up. 21, okay, one second, eight. Oh, boy, you got a 12.8 of B. Okay, cool, no, you still wanna wait, because that's 27. So you get a 12.8 of B and hit 25.52. And when it gets that close to an ABC structure, yeah, maybe you'll get it, but then you'll get a pullback after that, man. So I just sit there and wait as long as you can. Sounds good to me. You got time for one more time? Absolutely. Nova Gold, NG. NG, so let's take a look at Nova Gold. The low out here is 220, the high 668, you're trading at 243. I believe this still, yeah, it's still an exploration stock. Now do you own this? You're looking to buy it. No, I own this. I'm trying to get out. Okay. I don't know if it's a tie to just take my losses, you know. Man, yeah, what happened to this stock? Well, they, I mean, they've been trying to get this thing done forever, but now something else just happened to this. One second, hold it. Yeah, this is at all-time lows right now, man. And I just brought this back 15 years.  You just got to pick a number, man. You know, because I see what you're saying. I mean, since the last year, right? It just went from 680, you know, to 235, right? Yeah, it's just like a rock.  And they don't have any earnings. Okay, let me just see. There was always one big owner to this. Let me just look at it and see if it's the same one. Yeah, there it is right there. Oh, that's someone new, actually, electronic storage. Look at this. Fidelity is the second owner and then Paulson. Oh, man. You know, you got to pick a number on this, man, because you need to sign a strength. It hasn't had one in a year. That being said, though, the gold market in general, you know, has been a dog. Yes. You know, so it's like, okay, what number do you pick? Particularly because you're down so far. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, maybe if they cut interest rates, the market will take off, you know. That's a fact. And you know, yeah, I'm with you there. I get it. So listen, man, hang tight. When you take a beating, it's like that. I mean, you've probably done it before. You know what I mean? It's one of those deals that, yeah. Because why pick a buck when you're at 225 already? You know what I'm saying? I get it. Maybe another thousand bucks, but guess what? The upside is a lot more than a thousand bucks. You know what I mean? Well, thank you very much, Bob. Okay, man. You have a great one. They have a safe one, Bob. Stay right there, folks, who come right back. The S&P wants the highest price.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Welcome back, folks. Down industry is down 67 in Aztec of 88. S&P's off 7.5. And you get these rental car companies, folks, selling the EVs including the Teslas like wildfire. And it totally makes sense, man. The last couple of times that I rented cars and I always go to Hertz, the bottom line is that they'd give you a Tesla for almost nothing. But what ends up happening is that when you rent a car, you're always in a different city, right? So you rent the car and it's like, okay, hold it. I don't know where the, you know, I can fuel up again. So, you know, that's where, you know, a good idea is going bad, but it's so intriguing because that one I think could have been thought through. But anyway, there's going to be a lot of Teslas on the marketplace. Let's go to our man Brent in Martinez, California. Brent, what's going on, brother? Hey, Tom, how are you? I've been talking to you for quite a while. Yeah, I'm doing good, man, yourself. I'm doing great. Thank you. Good, good. What are we going to look at today? Saban is still water. My question is I did trade this. It got down to that round number four and I traded that. I went up to about the upper fives and I took my profits and I'm considering to get back in. I know we've talked about this in the past. She's with the South African. Just issues with like, you know, power. It's electricity, yeah. Different problems that kind of are inherent to that area. But I just wanted, it seemed like the numbers themselves seemed like the stock is, you know, should be worth more than it's trading for.  I just want to get your opinion on it. Let's take a look. SBSW. And this equity, folks, okay, is not only, you know, a producer of gold, but platinum, chrome, copper, nickel. You know, and nickel's worth nothing right now, by the way. And lithium folks, okay, lithium market crashed. It's down to 90%, just for the heads up. Okay, so let's take a look at this, baby, because there's no doubt that they do make money hand over fist, as you just said, Brent. I mean, you're talking about, you know, taking, so they do it every six months over there. $52 billion. Now, they took it $60 billion last quarter, about $52 billion. And, oh, I see what's going on. This is going to be the first time, they must have basically cleaned out their kitchen table or something. It's the first time they're actually going to lose money in quite some time. They're going to lose two cents. That being said, though, they go right back up the next six-month cycle. Okay, so let's take a look and put this on a weekly. Well, the cool thing about this is that, you know, you could get in it and don't let it trade under four bucks, right? That's, you know, I don't see, there's been no strength in this at all. So maybe it makes more sense to wait for a sign of strength or anything, get in it. Because you can see that high volume low wants to get tested again, Brett. I got this on a weekly. Let me put this on a monthly and see what happens. Yeah, I see what's going on here. Okay. Oh, this is pretty sick. So this is pretty cool, actually, you know. So what's happening here in a monthly, yeah, you want to keep your eye on this because there's no way that we're going to, we're testing four months ago. And four months ago, we did 160, 156 million. And thus far, we've only done 66 million. And let me just look at this for a second, one second. So we got, where are you? Yeah, we only have two. You only get five, no, six trading days left. So, you know, maybe just wait a little bit longer. You know, because on the other side, do you see that high volume bar there? What is that three? That's 350. Right there. But it looks to me like from four months ago, that's the one that you want tested, the one from four months ago. Tested and rejected, Brent. You know. Okay. Do you have a date on when the earnings are going to be? Yes, yeah. March 5th, before the market. Okay, that's not that far off. That's not, it's not. And they're throwing off a 5% dividend right now. Yeah, this is intriguing. See, what has happened here is that, you know, Platinum's still doing pretty good. Platinum's doing all right. But these other byproducts, well, Copper's doing better. But the byproducts in general have gone down on price versus, you know, the higher metals. So maybe they're getting hit with that, you know. But I would say that if you can get that test, you'd be in good shape, man, because that contraction of volume is a monster. And I know you've traded that before. When this equity actually starts moving, folks, it moves pretty fast, you know, so. Yeah, I'll just be patient. I appreciate your help. Absolutely, man. Thank you very much. You take care. Okay, you have a great one. A safe one. Thanks, man. Thank you for this S&P, man. You know, who are we talking about? It's light volume. Now you get a rejection of lower price. So they rejected $49.59. We're at $49.82. We're only down eight points. If I go to spy, they rejected $493 or $495. And the volume is still tepid. I mean, there's nothing. There's nothing here. Let me go to the Q's for a second. This market wants higher price, man. Higher price. Here we come. Unreal. The trend is on. Look at the Q's, man. The Q's rejected $4.21. The Q's, it's only $39 million shares. Did they go to the... Oh, they did. This is cool. Check this out, man. Okay, this is good. We went. We did. Okay, so check it out. So we went to the high of the lows that were established like three weeks ago. That number there was $4.22.87. We went to $4.21.63. The correlation right now, you get $40 million. So let's say we did $45 million versus $64 million and a rejection of lower price. Let's say we're going higher. I got to go look at Nvidia. Oh, man. This is when this gets dicey. Nvidia's still in the middle. Yeah, Nvidia still wants lower price. Boy, this is going to be a trip watching this whole thing shake out, man. What else? What other big stocks are coming out, man? Because something is going to juice this market out here. Well, let me see. One second. Amazon, that's $4.26. $4.25, nothing. Yeah. Something's going to juice this market, man. This market wants to bounce. Now, if that's what we get, what you're also going to get is this. You're going to get the note in bond market bouncing and you're going to get the dollar going south. So the dollar hasn't given us any clue yet. You're down 92 ticks. It held yesterday. The bond market's given us a little. This is going to be an awesome aftermarket out here. See, I look at the S&P. One of those down at four folks. Okay, stay right there. We'll come right back.  Ready to join the ranks of successful traders? Head over to TFNN.com and subscribe to market insights today.

It's tricky photographing people. They're not always happy with how you see them.  Most of the days in my life are really different. Editing hundreds or thousands of photographs, going through negatives, travel with three cameras, meeting people. Sometimes I shoot tons of rolls every day. Photographing people is an extremely vulnerable exercise. Getting people to show you something really intimate. One of the only directions that I really give to people is take a deep breath. With a lot of people that I photograph, they tend to not like their photographs right away, and then give it a day or a week or a month, and they'll tell me that it's the most real photograph that they've actually ever had taken of them. And something that's really important to me is photographing the reality. Just like why I shoot analog, it takes space and time for reality to unfold. Film just has so many more layers, and I like playing with those layers. There are so many perspectives that you can change it at any given moment. I try to not think about it too much and just put stuff out consistently and keep making more. Being an artist is embracing the unknown at all times.


Hi, my name is Sandy Allnach and I'm an artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I want to share today a superhero card that I made for kids. It's a lot of fun to make a comic strip type of card and this one is sort of a miniature version of something I've done on my blog before. I've got some free comic strip templates that you can download and this one just requires having to die.  So I could turn it every which way and decide where I want the scenes so depending on what kind of stamps you have teeny tiny stamps are going to work great for this. And clearly you saw this when we released just came out and this superhero set with the Kate Cuties is the name of it. They are so adorable look at these little critters. So I'm just kind of trying to figure out which ones are going to fit where how I'm going to lay this out and I decided to sketch it out first. What I've done is take the plastic from the stamp set and taped it down over top of my little sketched out lines and I'm going to do a real quick stamping and this is wipe off a bowl it's not a word you can wipe it off afterward and reuse it but I'm going to just stamp the images in there to see how they fit in the boxes and you know is there any masking I'm going to need to do. I'm one of those people that loves to stamp all the stamps in a stamp set. I like to color all the images so it's trying to see how many of them I could fit in here. So in this large box we have even the little helicopter Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle dude and then this mouse he's my favorite and I think he's just so cute because he reminds me of Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse is a British cartoon and it's just my favorite cartoon I've ever watched and he's so cool so I will link you to a Danger Mouse video how about in the description down below so you can see what I'm talking about. So now I'm just going to follow my plan and use a couple of post-it notes and then I only need one mask I'm going to cut this out of some 2 inch post-it tape by stamping my little guy on there and trimming him out so I can put the city behind him. Anything else is going to have really simple backgrounds but I wanted to use the little buildings that are included in this city in the little stamp set so I'm just going to stamp each one of them in different places sort of figure out how I want them to be laid out. I can continue some of those lines down below with a pen if I wanted to stamp them all the way down to the bottom etc lots of different ways to fix that I'll block off this building so I can put one above it and then I have this cute little scene in this box I did decide to cut out the moon that I had stamped for the sun and I'm going to draw that in myself in a different way but I had it for an idea on the pre-stamped piece so I thought I would carry that through when I do my coloring so I'm just stamping them each in here and they're a little bit bigger than their boxes so I'm using my post-it notes to just mask them out and when I get out my colored pencils I love my colored pencils and even though I know a lot of people don't like them all that much because they are challenging to blend my technique is to just go really really lightly with a really sharp pencil it takes some time to do you have to have a little patience to do that but I have nothing but patience when it comes to my colored pencils because I just love the look of them and I also like the look without the super perfect blending that you can get you can try it with your car pencils get some baby oil or some gamsol baby oil is more accessible and it smells better in my opinion and put it on a blending stump and just go over the pencil after you get it all done and it does smooth it out so if you have trouble with your colored pencil looking a little on the funky side that could help you but I like the look of pencil and I I do have time the patience to put into really coloring it and getting my pencil into all those little crevices and I keep sharpening so every time my hand leaves I try to cut those out of the video for the most part because it leaves a lot to go to my pencil sharpener and keep my pencil super sharp because when it is super sharp I can sort of angle it into the little texture of the paper and even though this Neenah paper seems very smooth as soon as you start working with colored pencils on it you suddenly see there is an enormous amount of texture on it and it's not as as big as Bristol it's not definitely as big as a watercolor card stock but it definitely has some now here with this little guy was trying to figure out what color to color him I knew I was gonna make the mouse down in the bottom right a brown mouse so I decided to make this little guy a black critter but I did struggle a little bit with I didn't know if his hand was supposed to be part of his costume and then did he have pants on or not you can decide when you color if you color him so he's just got his little butt hanging out or whether he's got pants but I noticed the other guys didn't really seem to have pants that little bunny right below and has no pants so I think it's okay and Captain Underpants can come to rescue if he has to to rescue my little my little critter here from being Kansas sometimes you just gotta make those decisions as a crafter as an artist and decide what your color in which way so I am gonna move on to my next image and this little little bunny this is another one of those decisions I made I could have made the mask on the bunny a different color and then made the head and the ears the bunny color what I decided is that his little outfit instead was going to be covering his head and his ears I've never seen a bunny superhero that had an outfit like that I thought it would be really cute so it would be a little more like a kid's costume potentially than a superhero cuz you know I don't know would it be just a mask on top you can make that decision if you color this little stamp set there are a number of stamp sets by the way in the clearly decided collection and in this new release as well and I'm gonna link you to all of them in the description down below so you can check them all out and see if there's other stamp sets you want to do this with and the dye will also be down there as well as there's a tag dye set and I actually did a card with it but that stamp set got pushed out to April so in April I'll share on Instagram the other card it's gonna be pebbles and bam-bam so you're gonna be excited to see that one in April so be sure to follow me over on Instagram so you get to see that one but that card I use the tag dye and take a look at the tag dye and see if you can picture what I did because I didn't cut out or it didn't cut apart the dyes I do that a lot with my dye sets I leave them intact and I just run the whole thing through when I'm going to cut the pieces out just to see if there's anything interesting I can do before I cut them apart because what that did was give me this wonderful random group of boxes this one is very structured because the dye is structured that way but that one was just a kind of random collection of little tag shapes and came out really cute as well so stay tuned for that one when the release comes out in April and get to see it I apologize for the doggie footage disappearing little puppy dog went AWOL I'm not really sure what happened to the little piece of footage that I imported but it wasn't usable so sad because he's just adorable little puppy he's actually the one that made me get all squee about this set until I saw Danger Mouse here and I'm just gonna I'm gonna mentally think this is Danger Mouse the company clearly besotted is a company over in the UK so I'm guessing she may have known Danger Mouse I don't know he's still a thing or if it was just a thing when I was younger but yeah Danger Mouse is my little buddy and initially almost going to make his little body the brown color and then caught myself just in time so I put a little outfit on him using a second color to make some shadows on the ears and on my little mouse we give him the most shading since he's kind of a featured one in this and give him some real strong color differences but you can see how I can layer the colors when I do this very softly if you start you know really pressing hard with your pencil you'll do two things one is you'll build up some wax and that waxy surface is hard to color over top of it's very difficult to do any color over over top of something that's that slick when you're talking about pencil that wax just just puts a really thick coating down and then you also risk breaking your pencils so a lot of people tell me that they their personal pencils break all the time that could be a lot of it too so you're putting a lot of pressure on it that could cause you some troubles another thing that I have discovered recently I've been doing a little research and found out um Prismacolor pencils if you drop them the lead could shatter on the inside so if you have one pencil that you've dropped and you find that after that every time you sharpen it it just goes to put that could be why because the the lead inside may have shattered at the floor so be careful with your pencils nicely I also use an electric pencil sharpener I've shared this one before I will share a link to the video at the end of this one where you can see the pencil sharpener that I use it's a bow stitch and it is a giant beast it's huge but it works really well and gives you a super sharp point it's a classroom style one so it has a lot of different pencil widths which is also nice to have if you have a lot of different kinds of pencils and I'll link you up to that one so you can see more about the pencil sharpener that I love. All right so here's where I decided to do a night scene in the moon I was trying to figure out what to do here you'll notice that there's just simple shapes in the other ones and when you see the Pebbles and Bam Bam card as well that was one of the features of that card that we don't get to show you today but that one I just used really simple shapes to create like a mountain scene behind or a little stream scene by just doing some really graphical shapes behind the little cartoon animals because that can actually create a real atmosphere without you having to have a lot of huge drawing skill and know what you're doing just make that little bunny has just a little curve like he's flying up a little curve here I did a circle and I just used a template from something I think it was a die that I used to draw a circle in pencil and then fill it in with my white pencil to make a white moon and I wanted it to be a little bigger than the stamp that was in the set so I decided to to draw it in myself so I can make it larger and kind of go off the scene so that it's not a focal point but I have a nice fun light source in there and here's where I'm showing you the amount of little little tiny labor that I put into these backgrounds to make them really smooth I'll go one direction after the other direction back and forth I've used two blues here one lighter blues sort of at the bottom and then a darker blue that'll be the night night blue color that I'm using right now and it does take a little effort but boy is it worth it which comes out so cute when it's done it's very soft way of using the colored pencils rather than a real heavy hand and kind of look you could also combine this with your Copics you could do the backgrounds in your Copics and maybe the first layer of all these animals in your Copics and then go in with your colored pencil to add detail on top and add some texture to the animals and that would save you some of the extra effort or if you're into airbrush and masking you could airbrush backgrounds and then do the images themselves in colored pencil that would be even more effort though I think but I guess it depends on whether you're into airbrush whether you're real quick at that or not I'm a little slower with that so I opted to go with my pencils so then I just wanted to fill in a couple colors for the buildings down here to finish off this little image and I went with neutralish colors behind my little mouse so he would stand out and be quite the important thing in front of the buildings that he's protecting the city and I will of course think of him as protecting the city of London since Danger Mouse takes place in London from what I recall I'm gonna have to go sit and look up some Danger Mouse videos now and go enjoy them again because I haven't seen it in a long time I ordered a whole set of dvds I think when I was in college I think that was the my little secret thing that I got to do when I was in college and studying I would put on actually probably wasn't even dvds I bet it was eight tracks back then oh my gosh I'm totally dating myself here all right let's get back to the card I put a lot of dimensional adhesive on the back and I cut little slivers to put on just a few of the crossbars because that's going to help to keep them from sinking down and flattening out on the card so that it will remain popped up but I didn't have to put more than just those two little pieces and then the ones around the edges to make this one work and I am just so excited at how this one came out and I want to get out all my little stamps Billy decided like I said has a ton Lawn Fawn has a ton a lot of companies make little itty bitties and they would all be really cute with something like this so if you want to pick up that die the link's in the description as well because this one's really cute cute cute cute cute cute cute all right guys here are the promised videos at the end the color pencil sharpener is right there for you to go take a look at there's another storybook coloring in the middle and another idea to make a maze card with your tiny images as well on the right hand side you can hit the subscribe button if you're not yet a subscriber and check out more from me I put out videos about three times a week and hit that like button if you like this video and I will talk to you guys later have a wonderful day and they do something creative


Hello and welcome to News Clicks International Roundup. Today, we discussed recent developments in Venezuela and Syria. And to talk more about this, we have with us Prabir Prakas, the editor-in-chief of News Clicks. Hello, Prabir. Prabir, let's start with Venezuela. As we know yesterday evening, certain sections associated with opposition leader Juan Guaido, who is a self-proclaimed president, sees certain facilities in the United States, both in New York and Washington, belonging to the Venezuelan government. So they removed Maduro's portrait, replaced Guaido, and they have declared that in a few days, they'll be seizing the Venezuelan embassy in Washington itself. So how do you see this recent development as part of a series of developments or a series of stages in which the U.S. and various Western powers have tried to support Guaido and Maduro? It's very clear that the regime change operation which started in Venezuela has actually failed in Venezuela. In the attempt to have this Branson concert get starting with numbers like 400, 300, 200, 1000, they got barely 10,000 to 12,000 people over there. The most optimistic estimates being 20,000, then this whole idea that they could march them into Venezuela and therefore the National Guards over there, the Venezuelan military police would not be able to stop them. All of that fell apart. We now have pictures which New York Times has accepted in its report, which it didn't initially, that this was actually the burning of the vehicles, carrying some of the same percent on fire by Guaido supporters. All of this seems to indicate that this whole regime change operation vis-à-vis Venezuela has at least very little internal support. And that's not surprising because Guaido, shall we say, was not the most well-known or popular person in Venezuela himself. So this has not been a surprise, that he has not got any traction. So now there is a desperation of how does this regime change operation proceed? And the only way it can proceed is if the Lima Group or the United States military intervenes in Venezuela, the Lima Group modelists have said no, though it is behind the regime change, but military steps no. The United Nations has actually said that aid should not be militarized, that it should be neutral whenever such, if aid is being provided to a country which has, shall we say, similar turmoil. And United Nations has said we are interested in actually negotiations and rather than this kind of one-sided approach to the problem. So I think given this, how does Guaido keep his moment of a life? He's not getting any traction in Venezuela. So the only option is taking the US help to try and seize some properties of the Venezuelan government, which would be against diplomatic rules of any kind because the host state has to provide those, shall we say, protections to Venezuelan properties, embassies in the United States. But again, the United States would say, oh, you know, it's an illegal government, therefore we are actually not protecting what is an illegal government's property, therefore this is okay. So these are the kind of things which international law is not being only stretched. It is actually broken severely and I don't think this kind of things have happened earlier. We also have the recent case where the North Korean embassy was raided in Spain and it was done by what was claimed to be North Korean shadowy organization, which is fighting against the North Korean government, while the Spanish sources, government sources say this appears to be rogue CIA operation. So I think the United States has decided it's a law unto itself. It always has. It has no respect for the national law and this attempts to seize property shall be say of the government of Venezuela, which the host countries are duty bound under international law to protect is being violated is really more of the same shall be said. And it also comes after a couple of weeks after the massive cyber assault on the Guru hydroelectric plant and which again Guaido and the US establishment sought to use as some sort of a staging board maybe for what they hoped would be massive protests and of course nothing of that sort happened. So this again reveals some sort of a particular desperation in terms of every single stage failing as of now. Well, as you know, the US is the first country in the world which launched what would be called a military cyber attack. When it attacked the centrifuges in the Natanz centrifuge plant in Iran, it was accepted that this was an act of war as defined in national law because damage to property and human beings would qualify as a equivalent to a kinetic attack. Now the Guru hydroelectric project, we don't have similar evidence that it was attacked in terms of which we have in Natanz, but that takes time to come. So you need forensic evidence to be able to say what really happened. The possibilities are that the cyber attack because the US has a history of doing it and also there is documentation about that which Guaido and the groups which have supported him in the past that the Grey Zone project, Max Blumenthal is a detailed piece on this that one of the suppositions in that if electricity grid fails, then there could be a civilian protest and therefore civilian uprising. And one unfortunate problem in Venezuela, this really goes back to how the Venezuelans never foresaw all of this is a militarized issue that they have one project which supplies the Guru hydroelectric project to talk about supplies Venezuela with 80% of its electricity. Therefore there is a vulnerability of the electrical system over there and therefore taking down a centralized system which supplies 80% of the power of the electricity of the country is relatively therefore an easier target than if it had for instance five such plants in five different locations. So of course unless we said we have forensic evidence, we can't really talk about whether it's convincing evidence or not, but given what the United States is doing, given that the NSA and the CIA have really shall we say very high order of this kind of militarized cyber attacks, yes I think it's not, it would not be surprising if it turned out that this was a cyber attack which led to the taking out of the stations. I don't expect it to last too long that increasingly Venezuelans will be able to sanitize their system and this is a single point of vulnerability if they can protect that and I think then there is only some, there is only so much that the United States can do through cyber attacks. The question is that whether they will escalate it to a military attack at the moment signs seem to show unless there is widespread shall we say unhappiness, demonstration, appraisings of different kinds in Venezuela, the United States and the Lima group don't think they can militarily intervene. So I think there is some ratcheting down of this kind of things at least from other countries which had supported Guaido initially. I even start seeing now reports which indicate they are talking about President Maduro again and this is I think a new one because for about a couple of months President Maduro was always addressed differently as one of the presidents or claiming to be presidents and so on and who won in the fraud election is something which always would be appended to his description. But I start seeing now a recognition that perhaps things have worked out the way that they thought they would when the supported Guaido. And moving on to Syria where the Syrian government strongly responded against the U.S. proposal to continue helping the White Helmets, the controversial group which has been associated with various controversies. So how do you see this move in the context of the recent developments in Syria where on the one hand of course the ISIS is increasingly getting isolated and on the other hand there has been increased discussions between Syria, Iran, Russia, even Turkey to bring some sort of a final closure to the conflict? Well in the final closure the conflict really depends on whether the United States will get out of Syria or not and at the moment it is saying that it is going to stay there. It is going to stay there because it wants to stabilize in some form the northern border with Turkey which means of course the conflict with Turkey and supporting to the Kurds. The Kurdish forces have to now decide which way they want to go and I think increasingly the issue is that American support is really a, shall we say, a long term danger to the Kurds as well because it means that you are depending on the country which can sacrifice you at will and which does not have any contiguous border with you. Well you have your strong countries like Turkey, you have Iraq, you have Syria which are your shall we say neighbors as well as Iran. So all of them if they combine against Kurds, I don't think the Kurds really have too much of an option than to resist. So I think that's been the problem, we talked about the White Helmets. Well White Helmets is a publicly known funded organization of both the United States as well as the British intelligence. In fact originally it was set up by British intelligent person who was virtually officially a part of the British military intelligence and it has been funded openly by the British government as well as other NATO powers including the United States. Therefore it is a foreign funded organization which is acted as mouthpiece, the main weapon as with the camera and they have been in close shall we say partnership with the various insurgent groups over there and extremely rabid Islamist forces and they are not Islamic forces, they are Islamist forces that means they are really using Islam as a cover for a political agenda. My problem is at the moment the enclaves within which United States is still sitting they are giving protection to this kind of forces and they are also trying to maintain their long term presence. Though Trump has announced that they are going to withdraw, at the moment on the ground we don't see such moves and therefore it is something which we will go to continue. The United States can act as a spoiler but United States has lost the plot in Syria. I don't think it has any chance of being able to destabilize Syria again. It can only prolong the conflict and it can only play in the troubled waters but I don't think it has the ability to do anything significant in Syria or even in Iraq anymore. Thank you Praveer. That's all we have time for today. Keep watching NewsClick.

Further, we acknowledge that 48 contemporary tribal nations are historically tied to the state of Colorado where we are currently settlers and guests. Today, we'd like to introduce a value in care in the open framework that we created in 2020, and we'll focus today on educator reflection questions that we've now incorporated into our framework. We'll start by inviting you into today's session by reflecting on educator care for students in open education. And then next, we'll introduce the theories of care that inform our framework. We'll then invite you to consider the framework and specifically these educator reflection questions that we've integrated and how these may resonate with you and your colleagues. We'll paste into the comments now our handout link, which includes links to all of our materials and supports today. And we invite you to reference this handout throughout and to contribute to collective note taking there. So to move into today's session and to provide us hopefully with some insights that can inform our continued work afterwards from your thinking, we'd like to ask you to take two minutes to consider this question individually. We really invite you to free associate and approach this question with an entirely fresh perspective and to enter your reflections in the answer garden link that we'll paste in the comments now. You're limited to just 40 characters in your answer garden response to let you know. And now we'll just take two minutes to each reflect. Thank you. Wow, the answer garden is really filling up. Thank you all so much for those responses. Those are wonderful and will give us more to think about afterwards as well. So I'm going to pass the presentation over to Carolyn now. Great. Thank you. So we wanted to begin by introducing theories of care and the components of those that have influenced our thinking in regards to a framework that we have developed. And as you may know, care ethics is a field that's been championed by feminist scholars who were dissatisfied with theories of ethical action that relied solely on objectivity and rationality. In this quote on our slides from Maurice Hamilton, he captures what these feminist scholars saw as absent. They saw a lack of recognition of relationships, relationships intent on reciprocity and responsiveness. There was a failure to also really see the situational context in which individuals existed and the emotive and cognitive elements that they experienced and the bodies that experienced them. So for a care theorist, they really maintain that relationships of care are central to shaping knowledge, identity and well being of individuals in the world. And this next quote comes from Bernice Fisher and Joan Toronto and is often referenced as a key definition of care. For them, care is everything that we do to maintain, continue and repair our world. And as such, you'll notice that what this definition does is it combats the notion that care is something isolated to private or domestic spheres. Instead for Toronto and Fisher, they really position care as a collective effort for social survival and democracy. And as such, education has a caring dimension. And here's where the theory of care for us really resonates with commitments of open education to repair access to learning and to encourage relationships of sharing and of cooperation. But realising the broad nature of that definition, Toronto and Fisher then went on to outline phases of care and they identified four key phases. The first being caring about or the point at which we identified a need. The second is care taking care of or taking responsibility for meeting that need. The third is the actual giving of care. And the fourth is no noticing and responding to how care is received. Later, though concerned with the integrity of this entire model, Toronto emphasised another overarching phase and that is caring with central to this phase is the inclusion of the particular voices and perspectives of those cared for. And by inserting this phase, Toronto makes clear that both the caregiver and the care receiver are integral at every stage. So she's beginning to kind of unravel the complexity of power in caring relationships. And then later still, seeing a need to strongly emphasise that care is a valuable and moral imperative for a democratic society, Toronto extended these actions or phases to also include ethical qualities that are realised through action. So for her attentiveness or proclivity to become aware of a need, the next willingness to respond and take care of that need or responsibility competence or the skill of providing good and successful care. And then responsiveness of really key point, the consideration of the position as of others as they see it and the recognition that in our caring relationships, there is a potential for abuse in care. And so with this foundation, and with this theory of care, we really found a lot of inspiration and began to wrestle with its intersection with our open education work. And considering that the ethic of care and open education initiatives, one can really see this need for educators to remain attentive to the particular needs and expressions of learners on whose behalf we are doing this work, if we are authentically asking who benefits from open education. So for us, Toronto's theory offers a robust method for analysing caring relationships. And as we pondered, you know, how might we be sure that our actions are aligned with this Care-Based Foundation? We took a stance of humility and knowing we're prone to error, we're prone to oversight, or unintentionally imposing harm. And after all, we've heard from so many in the field that open is far from a simple concept. And this quote from Hodgkinson, Williams and Gray, they talk about open as a reef of a complexity so that it, you know, emphasising that it's far from an unequivocal, unequivocal good. And in this quote, Audrey Waters advocates for an ethics of care and open to counteract an assumption that open alone will do the work for us. We've heard similar calls from many in the field, Catherine Cronin, Robert Farrow, Jeremy Knox, Leslie Gorlay, among many others. And so, though it's not a new realization that the term and the practice of open are slippery, we were really intent on finding a way to adopt a critical stance founded on a pedagogy of care to guide our work as we moved forward. So with all of these influences, we strove to create a framework, which we'll show you in a moment to help us continually ask and answer what and who really counts, what drives us to this work continually, and how are we demonstrating extending or making visible our intentions to the people we work with. We closely considered our values, care theories, as Carolyn has talked about, critical approaches to open and a number of other frameworks that you'll find noted in our references, as we drafted a values framework for our work in open. We've recently extended this framework by including questions to support educators reflection on caring for students when these educators are designing and implementing open education learning experience. And we'll paste into the comments now a link to the framework, which is also included in the handout. So at the highest level, the framework we designed is rooted in Joan Toronto's feminist democratic ethic of care, and inspired by Toronto's conceptualization of care as an activity, a kind of practice. Atentiveness, responsibility, competency, responsiveness and integrity that you see here highlighted are the broadest values that we decided we wish to emphasize in our open education work. And we then expanded these relationships with additional values such as empathy, respect and inclusivity, which you find nested under attentiveness, for example. We give these values shape and substance through first designing examples of illustrative and aspirational practitioner enactments. These are enactments that we've drawn from work we've done, or that we hope or imagine to do. And so here under the top level value of attentiveness, and the next level value respect, for example, is a practitioner enactment we wrote to ground our communication and interaction with others in our open education work. And we follow this kind of pattern for all of the values in our framework. Most recently, as I mentioned, we've added to each value a question to invite educator reflection such as this one. How might you invite students input and learning goals to reshape or mold the planned learning experience? And how might you adjust your plan to match their learning goals, constraints and abilities? And again, we follow this pattern with other values. Incorporating recently, these educator prompts or questions to inspire reflection. Here's another example. Under responsibility, the broad top level value and then the next level value connection, we ask how might you facilitate learners participation in the broader knowledge comments? How might you support learners in seeing themselves as valued voices in the comments? And as creators and co creators of knowledge. So with that, we have such a short amount of time today, but we would like to give you a few moments to engage with these educator reflections and consider them. So here's a prompt question we'd like to ask you to reflect on. Can you envision engaging your colleague educators through the educator reflection questions? And we've given you one example here on screen. And why and how or why not? Please feel welcome to think about it quietly on your own or to go ahead and add to the collective note taking or collective reflection portion of our handout. We'll come back in just a few minutes. Thank you so much for taking time. And now or later, we welcome any feedback or comments and reflections you might have. And also please feel welcome to reach out to us as well. So our framework is a work in progress, and we'll be continuing to develop it. As I said, please feel welcome to reach out to us. We'd love to hear how it resonates with you and how you think it might resonate with others that you work with. And lastly, thank you so much for joining us today. We have a few minutes left to invite your questions and reflections, and I'll turn it back over to you, Lou. That was wonderful. Merinda, Caroline, thank you so much. What you did was bring so much information and depth and richness and incredible ease to that last 18 minutes or so. It was incredibly relatable and I look forward to our continued conversations. Let's see what we've got in the chat. People are just really loving the idea of engaging students, engaging faculty, a comment from Warrick Language. I found that giving my students support through a private reflective space enabled them to first create and share resources with one another and see themselves as part of an open community of educators. I have a question about belonging, really, and how much creating the conditions for belonging is part of a practice of care? What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think that really central to a large portion of our framework is consistently and constantly examining the space that we provide for learners to be involved in both, you know, the actual learning process, but also the design of that learning and really including their voices, that notion of spending time understanding the needs of the one receiving care before even moving in to the application of care or the design of what that care might look like. Constantly providing space and a means of understanding who our learners are, the specificity, the particularities of those individuals as we think about that design. I hope that gets a bit to your question, Lou and Miranda, please. I think too, just as an extension of what Carolyn said, the idea of what might be preventing learners from feeling a sense of belonging and trying to be really attentive to digging into that and to learning more about that in order to be conscientious about what we do about that. Absolutely, that sense of ethical responsibility, being conscientious, paying attention, that word attentiveness, all really resonates with, I guess, what we've all needed and what we want to take forward hopefully into, you know, into the future. I can't believe we're out of time. It's felt like we've spent a lot of time together, but I hope we can stay connected, stay in touch, and I will certainly be continuing to write into that, that generous space that you've provided for us. Thank you so much, both of you, that was really wonderful. Thank you. Thanks everybody for coming along.


Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope today. I'm going to respond to an email that I got. A couple of different questions here in this email. I think it's important to address and to talk about. So first of all, the email says, I have a question for you since you know that life is eternal and we plan our lives beforehand. Why do you get so emotional with a channeling like Victor Frankel? Okay, so there's two parts to this. First I need to clearly need to clarify here that, of course, I believe that life is eternal, our soul is eternal, but as far as what you state about we plan our lives beforehand, I do not believe in a set fate or in a structure to our destiny where there are very specific things that we craft this brilliant plan before we come into this lifetime. I do believe there's life themes and patterns. Yes, I believe it's more like an outline made with pencil that can be adjusted, a bullet point, if you will. And it does not articulate our life plan, does not articulate specific exacting experiences point in time or even people that we come into contact with in our lifetime. I believe it's far more co-creative than that because after all, I believe that we predict, we don't, we don't predict our lives. We create our lives. So I believe I, so yes, the first half of what you shared is accurate from my belief standard of life is eternal, 100%. Okay, and then I clarified that plan our lives beforehand. I think that's important because it's kind of layered and some people might not understand what you mean there, you know. I need to be clear what I mean there. So then the question you ask is awesome. Why do you get so emotional with a channeling like Victor Franco? Good question. I think this is a fair question because I'm a psychic medium. I'm also a person. I have feelings. I do. I have emotions and one of my greatest gifts, I believe, is my heart, the empath channel, the channel of Claricentience. Claricentience is a psychic gift. It's probably one of my greatest psychic gifts yet it is a tough one to manage and navigate and something as emotional as connecting with Victor Franco. At the time that I did the channeling, I myself was exploring and working through some of my own personal life shadows and willing to work on making changes so that I would feel better, more inspired, not so much pressure to perform or to show up for other people, kind of random people. It's like what is most important to me? I was really kind of soul searching and going through what is most important to me? What is my purpose here? What do I do to contribute instead of letting random people's opinions or viewpoints determine what I don't do or do? You know what I mean? I was feeling a lot of pressure and I was feeling a lot of disconnection from purpose and so I was doing a lot of soul searching and so I thought, I don't even remember how it came to be Victor Franco that I wanted to channel but he came into my mind of when I was thinking about people that were inspiring, people that have this incredible spirit, this powerful, profound understanding of life of how precious life is and how strong and eternal the human spirit is and it's not just about like suffering and working through our problems but it's incredible through insurmountable odds. He transcended his circumstances and still connected with this purest, most beautiful part of himself and hope, this resilient, hopeful energy. I was inspired by that and I wanted to feel that for myself again, to be inspired again. And on purpose, you know, for purpose really connected to purpose and so in channeling with Victor Franco, I felt all the emotions of channeling, of all the reasons why I didn't want to do channeling throughout the summer of 2020 because of all the intense mass exodus. There were so many dead people from the health crisis that had mass and mass and are still at this point that I'm recording this, they're still transitioning over but it's a little different now. It's not as this big intense feeling of collective grief and anger and frustration and all the people here that couldn't actually bury their loved ones or couldn't have memorials or funerals and all this grief stuff that I have been like, I can't possibly handle that in my feeling channel. That's why I haven't done mediumship. That's why I didn't do a lot of channeling with brand new people like random people where in the past maybe I could do that pretty easily, you know, do like an interview and get to know that afterlife spirit. Now I feel such deeper meaning to life itself where I feel like the preciousness of life needs to be valued and honored at least through my work and so above life channel might seem like it's just entertainment. It's far more than just entertainment just because we happen to talk to celebrities or people that are well known and famous doesn't mean that it's only an entertainment thing like that's the only substance that they can provide to us, that their history, their legacy, their messages can provide far greater than that. So many more lessons and messages about life and incredible advice from the afterlife and inspiration is really gained from these people that you have looked up to that you've heard about and just a better understanding of human people human life just because we put somebody on a pedestal because they have this awesome singing gift for example. It doesn't mean they're not a real person they don't have heart emotions and feelings and they might not get moved or or feel sad or shed a tear when they're singing something beautiful or they hear a beautiful artist. Well when I was channeling with Victor Franco I could feel all of the emotion and for me it was so incredibly powerful just profound I literally feel like my heart was open I was just receiving and everything was flowing over and and for me like the pain and the suffering also mixed in with the hope and the resilience and the power of the human spirit and the kindness and the capacity for forgiveness just blew blew me wide open like I'm like okay now I'm now I'm in the zone to channel now I can channel oh yes I can channel people oh yes I can because there's new purpose renewed purpose renewed meaning for my work right that's exactly how I felt so yes very emotional for me very emotional so the second part of your question says um aren't we really playing a role down here on earth so a soul like this like Victor Franco knew what he was getting into I'm not saying it is not sad from a human perspective we are eternal beings so doesn't that take away the sting of death I don't think so the fact that if you think about this in very real terms the sting of death like grief of course you're going to grieve just because you know there's a greater purpose for someone's life if they're an organ donor and and they pass on you know and they they end up saving other people's lives or just because they lived a full life and they're like 96 years old and they they die it doesn't make it any less painful because when you're in family with someone or in relationship with someone and they're not there anymore you're going to grieve the loss of it and so I don't think death hurts any less because it's a separation it still feels like that we're humans and we have to look at those through the lens of human human emotion and human feeling and human relationship that's really key that's extremely important to do that so I don't think it takes away at all the sting you know there might be at some point some some level of comfort in the grief grief process knowing that that person that you love is is at peace and not suffering from their illness any longer but I don't think it just makes the pain go away I don't think so it's it's been oh gosh how many years since dads died like 17 18 19 years this year for me since my dad passed away and I've been a woke psychic for 17 years and I don't it doesn't feel any less painful that I don't have my dad here it doesn't feel any less painful that he hasn't met three of my four kids in human form that my kids don't have a grandpa yeah that doesn't it doesn't feel any less painful this thing is even though the purpose of part of his life lessons I can understand and use to inspire me for my life to live the best life I can to be my full authentic self so yeah it doesn't really take the sting away aren't we really just playing a role here on earth it's really tricky to say this because it feels like there's a detachment I'm kind of feeling a detachment in the questioning the questions here whereas stepping away and looking at it like very philosophical or very intellectualized kind of transcends the whole point of any channeling experience or any sort of deep psychic connection like this because the point is to feel to allow emotion to be present at the same time understand energy and intuition and spirit as well as the human life anytime you try to separate one from the other that just creates separation that's not the point the point is inclusion the point is integration the point is learning so we have to include all the aspects of who we are so I don't believe that we're just playing a role I think we do have purpose and meaning and that our lives are are are much more of value in a human body than maybe if you are making a comparison between your human body experience versus your spiritual experience it seems like oh the spiritual experience is so much better I'm like well but then why do we come back in to want to be people maybe just maybe the sensory experiences of being able to physically see the color light blue in the sky or to smell the flowers when they're blooming in the springtime or to see a bird fly and spread their wings and to watch a gorgeous sunrise or to cuddle up with your cat or to hold a baby I mean all of these things are very sensory and while clair sentience is a psychic gift of sensing feeling it combines the energy of emotion with the energy of sensory experiences it it brings in this um for me at least incredible awareness that the human life is so short and so precious because it gives us the opportunity to have experiences as a spirit in a body and our human physical body is just as important as your mind as your heart and as your soul the physical human embodiment now that's one place where we could do all use a lot of work right we over use our bodies we overwork our bodies we mistreat our bodies myself included we go through stages and phases of our lives where we just don't pay attention to our bodies we overwork our bodies we overstress our bodies and we maybe aren't feeling it as healthy stuff because we're just grabbing our coffee again or just eating fast food or something you know there's a lot to be said for embodiment and the physical human bodies so all right I really do appreciate your questions and they really spurred an opportunity for me to be able to expand on some of these topics based on like I said the 17 years of being a woke psychic actually working as a psychic in a medium for that long and it makes me sound super old when I say that it's almost like two decades worth of actual psychic work for other people even though my entire life if you've watched me talk about my psychic story here on above life channel or as I share it on fairy grass upper channel on YouTube I've been psychic and intuitive I've had paranormal experiences and such my entire lifetime I mean starting from the early age of like four so it's just kind of been normal to me you know so it gives me an opportunity to kind of reframe some of the experiences and the things that maybe I just take for granted because the psychic my psychicness is just such a normal part natural it's really natural for me that I questions like this gives me an opportunity to reframe and maybe to clarify some points and things as you are watching above life channel here on YouTube so thanks so much for the questions I really do appreciate it and you as viewers go ahead and comment below this video on the responses and the things that I've shared in regards to this question thank you so much for asking it is very much appreciated I'm not going to share your name because it looks like you might have used your work email and I don't really want to call you out like that so I won't I won't do it but thank you thank you very much and thank you viewers here at above life channel you always add value in your comments supporting each other encouraging each other and expanding the opportunity for learning for just pondering and considering the perspectives that are shared here all right all right so I hope I hope that I've inspired your spirit I'm sure I've perked your curiosity a bit today maybe filled you up with some hope that would be great encouragement to live your life your very best life it's your life after all it's yours so live it just love it thanks for being here before you leave make sure you

In this lesson, let's test what happens when a flow fails. So here you can see this flow I already demonstrated how we can create. So there was a use case we need to create related opportunity on account. So for that, this screen is created which is receiving opportunity name and close date. Then one more screen is there which will receive stays name. And then one more element that is create opportunity and here everything is mapped. So sometimes it happens like you forgot to map particular field and that field is required on the object, right? So due to that, there will be some errors. So I just removed that stage and so that stage is removed and now I'm going to save as this flow. So I will be testing it through two ways. One, I will be clicking on the debug and you will see one email will be triggered and then I will be running this from the UI. So I'm just clicking on debug. So here we need to provide the record ID. So I'm just going to fetch ID of particular account. Now I'm clicking on run. So here we need to pass the opportunity name then we need to select the close date and then we need to select the stays name. Now I'm clicking on next. So here you can see this error message. It is saying an unhandled fault has occurred in this flow and unhandled fault has occurred by processing the flow. Please contact your administrator for more information. Now here if you go to the debug end at the end so it will show you like why error came and which element failed. So wherever any particular element is failing so their execution of flow will stop. So you can see create record element is failing because here the stays is not mapping to create the opportunity and stays is required field. So here it is also mentioned, right? Now if you go to your email ID so the user who last modified the flow that user will be receiving an email. So you can see this email is available here. So with the help of this email you will be able to debug, right? So here also you can see this error message is available and here it is showing this create record element failed. Now suppose you activated this and you are just executing this from the UI. So here this opportunity flow is placed on the count record base. So if I try to create a opportunity from here. So here also you will see that error message, right? So now you don't have any debug. So the only option is to check that email. So you need to go to your email ID and you need to check the email ID, right? So here that error is available, right? So this way if your flow fails so with the help of that email you can test. If you have not modified the flow but you are testing and you are getting, you are not receiving the emails. So what you can do, you can just go to set up home and you can search for Apex exception email and what you can do here, you can provide your email. So you can set external email address or you can add Salesforce user as well. So wherever you want to throw that exception email so you can add and you can save it. So this way also you can add external email addresses or you can add Salesforce users if they have not modified the flow. So this way I hope you understood how we can check why flow is failing and how to debug that.
