Ah the creative block. The biggest obstacle in our creative path aside from the magnetic pull of our comfy beds. I used to think that inspiration had to always come naturally. Now I still think that it does but I realized that there are ways to boost the chances of it happening. Today I'm going to be sharing five tips that help me shatter the shackles of creative block and I'm sure that they're going to help you too. Let's start with a tip that might sound weird be bored or in other words take a guilt-free break. Now I know what you're thinking a break? Really? I'm trying to beat creative block not channel my inner couch potato. Our minds are constantly slammed with information, ideas, and distractions. It's like trying to paint a masterpiece on a canvas that's already covered in random brushstrokes. Sometimes we need to clean the canvas and make room to think and dream. By being bored you actually let your mind declutter, reset, and recharge. So how do you take a guilt-free break? First, resist the urge to fill your downtime with distractions like social media, binge watching, or endless scrolling. Instead do simple activities that let your mind wander.  I personally like going on walks while listening to lo-fi music if the weather permits. You'll be surprised at how quickly your imagination starts to come up with new ideas and creative solutions. Some of my best passion projects started out from just a walk or staring out the window with a coffee in my hand. The key here is to give yourself permission to take a break without feeling guilty.  I used to think that binge watching more videos would inspire me. After all, I make videos, so it would make sense to watch better ones from creators that I admire. But the thing is, it didn't inspire me and it made me feel like I couldn't come up with ideas as good as theirs. And then one day, it clicked. When I would listen to a new song, visuals would form into my head like a music video. And when I would see cool designs for posters or magazines, I would want to use parts that I liked into my own work. I realized that I was inspired by other creative work outside of video creation or filmmaking. There are even times when I browse art lists and I come across a song that literally inspires me to create. Either because I already imagined visuals to go along with it or I just know that it's a song that I'll use for a future video. For example, I know I'm going to use this song in the future for a cinematic video. You never know when a bold color or a fancy pattern or a cool pose might inspire you to see your own work differently. But remember, with great inspiration comes great responsibility. Don't just copy someone else's work. Austin Cleon's book, Steel Like an Artist, is one of my favorites with insights on this. Take those ideas and put your own unique spin on them. All right guys, we've all been there staring at an empty project file wondering where to even start. Sometimes we get so scared of making bad work that we don't make anything at all. And that's where tip number three comes in, creating a clear process. You see, when you create a clear process for yourself, you give yourself a roadmap to follow. And when you have a roadmap, it's so much easier to take action and avoid getting lost in the wilderness of creative uncertainty. So how do we even create a clear process? Let's start by asking yourself a few key questions. What do you want to achieve with your video? Who is your target audience? What kind of message or feeling do you want to convey? Once you have a clear understanding of these aspects, it's time to create a list of actionable steps. For example, if you're a video editor and your goal is to create a captivating travel video, your list of actionable steps might look something like this. First, research popular travel video styles and techniques. Second, choose a specific theme or narrative for the video. Third, find the right song for your video. Fourth, sort and select the best footage from your travels. Fifth, edit the footage, incorporate transitions, and color grade. And that was how I made one of my favorite passion projects, a travel video that was a little bit different than what you're used to, but it incorporated all the things that I enjoyed about being a creator. With a clear process and a list of actionable steps, you'll feel way more in control and less likely to be paralyzed by the fear of creating bad work. After all, as the saying goes, a goal without a plan is just a wish. Now, when it comes to making videos, I used to be a perfectionist. I was scared of bad ideas and just making bad videos. My mind felt like a traffic jam of ideas, doubts, and indecision. Now, this held me back from improving because it stopped me from creating. But the way I learned to break free was to just let the bad ideas flow. Behold the secret notebook that I got when I decided to start training my creativity. Now, I thought of this as a gym membership for my imagination. I've got ideas for Instagram posts, YouTube videos, all sorts of crazy stuff like patching projects and so on. Now, I only went through with maybe 10% of the ideas that I wrote down there because the other 90% were just bad ideas. But it took writing out all those bad ideas to get the ones that got me really excited to create. Think of it as revving up a car engine. You need to let it warm up a little bit before you can hit the open road. The same goes for your creativity. By writing out all your bad ideas, you create momentum and you get into the creative flow. Try it and I'm sure that it'll help you as much as it did for me. I have saved my favorite tip for last and it's something I started doing recently and it's just been a breath of fresh air in my creative journey. The tip is to take on challenges. Now, if you've been following this channel, you know that we've done our fair share of challenges from shooting a commercial with only one light to editing a video with random music and footage. Challenges push us out of our comfort zone, force us to think differently, and keep us on our toes. It's like trying to make a gourmet meal out of whatever that you find in your pantry. The element of chaos helped me problem solve better, which as a result got me out of creative blocks. One of the things that really helped me overcome these challenges is having access to high quality video making assets like music, sound effects, footage, and templates. With Artlist, you get unlimited access to their entire catalog so that you can have total creative freedom and really focus on your craft. That means you can experiment as much as you want no matter what challenge you take on. So what you can do is start by searching for online challenges or competitions. Now, I used to enter these music video editing competitions, which really helped me develop my skills and inspire me to edit more. You can also create your own challenge like making a TikTok every day. Challenges have not only helped me overcome creative block, but also made it really fun to create. And that's the most important part of being a creator. It's completely normal to experience creative block and you're not alone in this journey. I still experience it sometimes, but these five tips help me shatter creative block like it's made of glass. Instead of gambling on inspiration coming from nowhere, I've realized that you can take actionable steps to spark your creativity. And when I finally get out of my creative rut, having access to high quality assets is so important to keep the ball rolling. So I go on Artlist for their music, sound effects, footage, templates, and so much more to get all my video editing needs. Check them out if that's important to you too. Now make sure to subscribe to the Artlist channel for more videos like this and check out one of the challenges that we did that helped me get out of a creative block. Otherwise, I'll see you in the next one.

So grab a chair, grab yourself a libation, please join us. Here's one. Cheers. Cheers. Happy holidays, everybody. Ah, someone put water in my water. Anyway, so UH, what's the little UH's doing? Is that little stronger in there? Oh, my goodness. Shock. Anyway, University of Hawaii football team, we predicted at the beginning of this year that the University of Hawaii football team, remember, we had, one of the puppets was on talking about it and said that McTackle was on. And he said that UH was going to kick butt this year. And they are probably going to go to a bowl game. Yeah, they were chosen last, right? Yeah, chosen last. Preseason. Preseason last. And they finished second? They finished second in their division. Not bad. Prognosticators. We don't need them. Yeah, we got it all here. At least when it comes to the UH football. That's good. Good.  Yeah, we'd like to let our audience know who you are. Of course. Where'd you grow up? You played football too.  Ah, high school football, high school football. Never made it to college. Ah. Yeah. Originally from Texas. Oh, right throughout. Dallas, Texas. Okay. Great state of Texas. Yeah, yeah. My exes are in Texas. Yeah, mine too. Yeah. Right from there. Yep, yep. So, so you grew up in Texas? You grew up in Texas. High school football. High school football.  Yeah, that's the national pastime. Yep. Yep. In that state. And then, so you went to school there, then how'd you end up in Hawaii? Uh, moved to Hawaii for mortgage. Okay. At the tender age of 20. Okay. Wow. Yeah. Came out here back in 2004. Did you go to UT or did you go to? No, no college whatsoever. Okay, so. Yeah, right out of high school. Oh really? Right on. Yeah. Cool. Good for you. That's bold. That's bold. Yeah, that's one way to do it. Yeah. Yeah, so. And you just said, okay, I'm just going to go to Hawaii? Uh, somewhat, somewhat. I think I got a call from someone out here. Okay. Yeah, actually came out here with Vi Tata. He's the head coach of Kahuku. Okay. So, me and him ran a mortgage company, Countrywide. Okay. Back in 2000. Oh, you guys were going to Hawaii? Yeah, so we came out here. I applied for a mortgage. Oh, did you? Yeah, I got rejected. I think the whole world did. They were so hard. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You used to be test straight down here on. Bishop Street. Yeah, right, Bishop Street. So, what, did you, you knew him from before? I met him in San Diego. Okay. He did mortgages there. Okay.  Two mortgages out here. And he's from here, so. Yeah, oh yeah, he's well, well known in this community. Nice. So, so you're, and then, but you, you're at your own firm now.  Branched out, worked for a local bank. Then started net lending about four years ago. Okay. So how long you've been in the mortgage business? That's a long time. All together, a little under 15 years. Okay. Wow. So you know the ins and outs? Hopefully so. I'd like to think so. He saw the big dive anyway. Yeah, yeah. And the big recovery. So that's awesome. I know him so. I got, I got a couple scars. As much as you can learn, you know. Yeah.  Oh, yeah. Crash, right? I mean, it was unprecedented, so. The ups and the downs. I had this segment we called, you know, got one tech job. I thought you were going to forgive you. That was close. So I was, I was traveling last week. Okay. And found this one. So it's kind of like. Tutoring. This found, yeah. Found this. Where was this at? Where were you? This was in Fresno. So yeah, tutoring. Yeah. Just not English, right? I'm just not sure what it is. Oh my gosh. Perfect. I've got one tech job. That's pretty funny. Yeah. I'll never see what happens. I don't think so. Anyway, pretty funny. So anyway, let's talk a little bit about them. You know, how is the market doing since the crash that you talked about earlier? I think it's recovered. You know, the housing market's recovered. The mortgage market's a little dynamic. Yeah. I think the last two weeks has been a little challenging with the new administration coming in. So even, so the Trump factor. Is it fear? You may think we were afraid or you think we're just kind of making a move. The market's responding to it. The equity markets, the bond markets. So rates have increased about 0.75 percent. Wow. In a week. In two weeks. Yeah. And they haven't moved. How long's the distance they moved that much? They were down at three and a quarter pretty much all year. Yeah. And the last couple of years, I haven't seen this big of a swing. Yeah, they sort of been moving like an eighth. Yeah. They'll go up, they'll go down. That's how they behave. Wow. And the Fed hasn't changed them. The Fed hasn't. They're, they think they are. I think, yeah. I think it's pretty half a point. It should be coming in the next couple of weeks, but. So that, will that mean then, what do you think? You think it'll. Yeah. They'll probably increase their rate by a quarter. Quarter. And then the mortgage rates are going to go again. There is probably going to be a response to that too. Yeah. In the mortgage market. So. Well put. There's probably going to be a response. Yeah. He's not prognosticating this direction. Just there will be a response. You can't predict. You can't predict. So it, so it heats it up, right? So it's just some people, but low. Some people have been having people are begging bets right now. They're doing what they got to do. But I don't see 4% as being that onerous to be honest with you. Well, it just depends on how you look at it. Like if you're buying a house in Hawaii, an $800,000 house, that mortgage payment from three and a quarter to four, it's going to increase your payment by 700 bucks. Yeah. So. Yeah. That's I mean. A month. A month. Yeah. A month a little bit. It slows down the purchase market. Wow. So it's going to be interesting to see the next 12 months. People just will buy condos. The people that are renting move into condos and the people who are buying condos buy houses. Typically, you like the things. All that emotion sort of slows down. Yep. I see. But with all this inventory we've got coming up over the next number of months. Yeah. That's a unique inventory though. I think that's reserved for buyers that can afford. They don't care. A million and a half. A million and a half. Yeah. A lot of cash buyers. Yeah. So it's a different marketplace, that inventory. So you're not really seeing much opportunity in that area? For lending? No. There's not a lot of loans going on. Oh, is that right? Most of those higher end. Higher end and so on. So what are all the different technologies that are going on? I'm thinking like there's all kinds of interesting things happening in this market to make sure it's all clean and the things that were happening in the past were not happening. Yeah. How was it different in countrywide or before 09 than it is today? I like to call the last 10 years how it was before the Wild West. It was deregulated. Yeah. So when you originated a mortgage it was kind of you did what you did and then if someone found out someone found out. Right. How we do business today is every single component of the loan business is watched over. Yeah, it is. Because it was like watching people write orders. They were just writing orders for mortgages. Oh yeah. Well you didn't have to document your income at one point. It was like you have good credit. Sign here. We're going to close in 10 days. Here's your house. And there's your house. Yeah. It was literally like that. I remember there were people that were putting on events and you could go and they would show you how you could have a house that you know it's like 5x what you could afford but you could arms and stuff. You could keep the lower rate for so long and then all of a sudden. Yeah. And so what would you do? You had to sell it in between that right? Because you know you could not afford it. You were trying to play the market. You know buy it here and then sell it when it was a little bit higher. Yeah. We all kind of see what happened there. Yeah. That's a lot of the reason why the market could deal with it. You can hear that crashing man. You can hear that when it was all the way up. Well it just sounded crazy. Like really? Yeah. Like really? Well I'm thinking but I look now at what you go through to get a mortgage and things like that. And what I see like rocket mortgage, right? They're advertising on the radio and on television and on the internet that you know they're making it sound like it was in the Wild Wild West days. Yeah. Well it's unique. It's that technology what they're doing. Basically you put in your information onto their site and it pulls your tax returns. It pulls your pay stubs. Yeah. It pulls your credit. So it pulls your bank account information too. Okay. So instead of having to provide your bank statements, your tax returns, all the documentation through an e-mail. Right. This technology actually pulls it from the back end. So you log in. Secures it all in one site. At one location. Yeah. So it's pretty cool technology. Quicken has it right now. Okay. I'm sure the market will pick it up in the next five years. Wow. So it's really cool. Like you go in, you sign up, you put in your information and you literally don't hand over anything because it's pulling it from... Oh, I know. It went in a few years ago. It's doing some refinancing and the paperwork that I had to take in because it was... Oh, it's a massive amount of paperwork. You should see our office. Oh, yeah. Stacks. Stacks. Stacks. I mean pay stubs, bank statements. Stacks returns. Yeah. Three years.  But in the application process, it can be a lot more automation. Now there is. Okay. Yeah. So that's where the industry, I think, is heading. What's the typical length of time it takes now to get through the market? Generally 45 days. So 45 days. Yeah, there's some lenders that are getting through in 30. Okay. There's other lenders that take about three months. Yeah. So that kind of depends on... It depends on whatever you're working with.  Yeah, it's black and white. Yeah. It's either you make the income and you're going to get the loan. Yeah. Or you don't make the income. There is no loan. Yeah. The old days were okay. You have good credit. Sign here. Here's your loan. So they were sort of selling the American dream before that everybody could achieve it when realistically maybe people, it wasn't really achievable for them. Yeah. Then they got a house they were stretching. Wow. Yeah. There's a, where my, one of my family members lived in the house behind them. Family went and got a line of credit loan and then left. Just abandoned the house. Just went and got a line of credit loan and then they just moved back. They took the cash. They moved, they moved, took the cash and then moved out of the country. Yeah. Oh, they just, so they just went bankrupt on that. We've seen a lot of that like maybe five or seven years ago. Yeah. They took the cash they could and then off they go. And then because you can't really recover the cash, right? Yeah.  So that, you know, it's, it's just kind of, I don't know this world. I mean, I've had a house I got, I don't know, like 12 years ago. I remember when you bought that house. Yeah. I mean, We did refit it. How many kids, I'm seeing like these, these young adults, how they're affording, you know, these down 20% down. They better get it soon because it's going up. So $160,000 has got to be coming from mom and dad or somewhere. Mom and dad, gift of equity from the parent's house, gift from a relative. Yeah. Especially out here in Hawaii. Yeah. I mean, to get into an $800,000 house, $160,000 down. No. Or you could actually get that same house for maybe $40,000 down, but you got to make the income. Okay. To support the bigger payment. So then do you make enough to support the $700,000? Yeah. And that's why you've got multiple jobs, multiple families, multiple jobs. Wow. And then you got to figure private school fees and all those kinds of kids. I'm getting happier and happier. So my son's buying a house in Kentucky. In Louisville. Okay. A couple hundred grand starter, maybe a little less somewhere in that range. So, but I'm, I'll tell him I got 10% down for it. Yeah. Which is half of it, right? There you go. He's going to have the other half. Perfect. That won't be so bad. That's not bad. Okay. Well, with that, we'll go get Angus. I don't know what he's been up to. Well, get Angus. We'll be back here in about a minute. Hi. This is Jane Sugimura. I'm the co-host for Condo Insider. And we're on Think Tech Hawaii every Thursday at three o'clock. And we're here to talk about condominium living and issues that affect condominium residents and owners. And I hope you'll join us every week on Thursday. Aloha. Aloha. My name is Justine Espiritu. This is my co-host, Matthew Johnson. Every Thursday at 4 p.m. on Think Tech, we host the Hawaii Food and Farmers series. We like to bring in folks from the whole realm of the local food supply and agriculture, anyone working on these issues, any organization or individual that has plans or projects. What kind of people have we had on? Us. We've had farmers. We've had chefs. We've had people from government, larger institutions. Everyone who's working to help make Hawaii's local food system that much better. So you can see us every Thursday and join the conversation on Twitter. And we hope to see you there. Thank you for watching Think Tech. I'm Grace Chang, the new host for Global Connections. You can find me here live every Thursday at 1 p.m. where we'll be talking to people around the islands or visiting the islands who are connected in various aspects of global affairs. So please tune in and Aloha and thanks for watching. Hey, Aloha everybody. Welcome back to Hibachi Talk. We're talking about mortgage today. So for the security man, I got a little bit of mortgage fraud for you. Five people yesterday were indicted in New York. $33 million they schemed from about 60 people. Their deal was they tell you for a fee, they'll get your mortgage, they'll get rid of it for you. I'll talk about a few of the things that you should look for, but something like this, somebody telling you that is wrong. These guys are going in and then filing these discharges of mortgage documents and then showing to you that it's been stamped, but that's only been filed. It was never actually approved. And so then they're charging these fees and taking that money. So mortgage scams are out there.  So, you know, if you get these guarantees that you're going to get a loan mod or stop a foreclosure process, or if somebody tells you not to contact your lender or a lawyer, some of the other warning signs claims that all of their customers or most of their customers get mortgage relief. If they ask for an upfront fee before providing you with any services, if they accept payment only by cashier's check or wire transfer, or encourage you to lease your home so you can buy it back over time. So, these things make warning signs that these guys aren't operating within the parameters of the law and they might be trying to scam you. So, there's a group. I think Zuri's got a logo here. Hope Now. This is a reliable group you can go to on the web. HopeNow.com. I think I see the... I don't know if she's got the phone number up for you. But these guys, if you want to check someone out who's trying to do some deals that don't sound right to you, go do that and you can start here. This is a reliable resource. So, Angus is here off the beach. How you doing there? Good to see you, man. It's great to see you. You've been traveling a bit. We've been traveling. I know. How you doing there, Frank? How's it going, buddy? We're doing pretty good. You know, we've got a grain showing up in your beard. Yeah. He's trying to match us. Yeah, boy, that's it. It's looking pretty stylish. It's very stylish. You're looking good. I like the airing. Oh, yeah, the airing. That's like... Go, Canada. Get the lassies chasing me. That's what's happening. Anyway, you know, I usually have a gadget, but it's going to be a Christmas and I'll start fighting some gadgets. But you know, it's not a new segment I want to try out. It's called, you know, because we had the elections, right? It's called... We did? Yeah. It's called, you know your city's cheap win. Okay. What do you got for us? I forgot one. I've got this up on New Elano Avenue. You know your city's cheap win. When this light bulb breaks down and they've duct tape it to the post. Oh, my gosh. I mean, that's what you know your city's cheap. Come on. That is live from Honolulu. There. That's the best you can think of, man. I just don't think they're spending our money right. You know your city's cheap win. They're not spending your money. That's what's happening there.  In the past 24 months, phishing attacks on hospitals have been arisen the most. So just be careful when you're giving out your health information. That's not what I'm going to say. Yeah. We'll put it over again.  That's not a gadget for you. That's a cash-stander. And then it's like, we cash-stander. I don't know where you get but I'm worried about you, buddy. I know. Look, look, look. That's all I got for this week's show. And remember, everybody, let your wing gate ring where are you being? Hello? Angus leaves us with a cash-stander that scans cats. Now, the healthcare information was valid, though. There's been a lot of hacking in that world. So what about the mortgage world, Frank? You've been in a world that you saw really go... I don't know if people can get taken advantage of and I think some of these schemes that these guys are running have actually happened here in Hawaii with other people. So how's the industry? Did they purge a lot of people out? Is this still kind of ongoing? I was shocked at the size of this one. Yeah, as you can see, there's still some bad things happening out there. But the markets actually came in. Regulators have come in. Hawaii specifically, we have a commissioner department of financial institutions. So we're highly regulated. If you sell loans, you actually have to be licensed by the state, FBI background checks, credit checks every year. Oh, really? So you have to have an FBI background check every year? Yeah. Actually, it's December, so everyone's going through theirs right now. Nice. So it's a little bit different. Make sure you weren't a bad boy during the year, you know, which is important. A lot of times they used to do these things and they just did it once and let it go. You know, and so I think the annual checks, we were talking about that in another industry recently, but doing them periodically, right? You shouldn't just be allowed to just have a clearance that lasts forever. Well, you're licensed in multiple locations too, I know that's right. Multiple locations just all under the state of Hawaii. Well, okay. Well, I want to go to California one day. Oh, right. Every state has a different regulator. I see. Different regulator. No, how many people are in the business that you're in here in Hawaii? I don't know for sure, but I'd guess maybe 500. Wow. Yeah, maybe 10 years ago, it might have been at 2,000. Oh, yeah. So it really did narrow down quite a bit. Yeah, anyone was a loan officer. Is that right? Wow. So the bank, and that includes the banks, right? That includes the banks. They're lending specifically. And are they still the biggest? Yeah, the banks lend the most. Okay. And at least in Hawaii. I see. Yeah. I find the banks to be the most difficult to work with though. Well, they're banks first. Okay. They're mortgage companies second. Yeah. Credit card companies. I see. So when you get a mortgage from a bank, it's a little challenging to navigate through. Right. At least 45 days, I can tell you that. Yeah, I think most of the banks are a little bit higher right now, just because it's a little challenging to get through the bank. When we bought our building, it was in Waipio, at the Waipio Business Center, right? And the SBA had that 504B program. Oh, right, yeah. And we went under Bank of Hawaii, but with that, which is there's another group that handled that piece of it. Yeah. Forget their name out here. But it took like a year. Yeah. It was like a really, really long time.  So you've got that same thing. Show me your contracts. Does that just mean you're broke? What? Sole proprietors have... That's me. I'm a sole proprietor. Sure. That was amazingly helpful for us. I think we didn't have to put down quite so much. Right. We were able to get a good property. And it's gone up like 30%, so I'm really happy. So what are some of the things that people should be aware of that when they want to start playing from work? What are the heads up nowadays that they really need to be... Yeah, especially with interest rates going up. That's going to be tougher, right? You want to be careful who you work with. So if you're working with someone, you want to ask them if they're licensed. Obviously. If you're here in Hawaii, you want to work with someone in Hawaii. You want to work with someone on the East Coast. Yeah, yeah. And then protect your information, right? You got to send over your tax returns, pay stubs, all that stuff. Right. Maybe not email it, drop it off in person. Okay. Or send it on a secured site. Yeah, so hard copy or encrypted. It's not one thing I like to do. Yeah, yeah. No, I should be encrypted. No CAT scans. Yeah. No CAT scans. So that's good advice, but work locally. And is there a place they can check on these people? Like you said there's maybe five, is there a list of licensed? Oh, yeah. It's public information. You can go online. DCCA or whatever. I think it's consumernmls.org. Okay. And you can check anyone's name. Check anyone's name up there. Yeah. Make sure that they're reputable. Mm-hmm. So how does the industry work? So you own an office, you have agents that work for you that are also, they're all licensed or they operate under your license? They're all licensed. That's awesome. So if you originate loans in the state, you have to be licensed. Wow. If you do the back-end paperwork, you don't necessarily have to. Yeah, processors. And how does it, is that, do you also do the, who are the other guys praising? Do you do a praising or is that a separate group of people? Separate piece. It's a separate piece. They have to be licensed, too. I see. It's a good deal. No. They're, obviously, you must take classes, go to classes. Classes, tests. I'll see EU credits. Yeah. Every year you have to go and take, you know, I think it's 10 hours every year. Every year. What's the biggest impact to the industry for people that are looking to get a house? And obviously interest rates going up is a big one. Are there other things coming that they should know about? You know, right now it's just the income. I see. You know, as the cycles happen, you want to get in before there's another bad cycle. I see. Because if you don't have the income, you can't get into the house. Yeah. Those people that went in with adjustable rate mortgages that are coming, Is that still happening? Are those still around? I think they've kind of flooded out of the pipeline. I have one. Yeah. Well, they're still good arms. It's 10 years old.  Not all arms are bad. Oh, I see. There's actually good arms. Yeah. And if they adjust, they adjust down. Yeah. But it happened to me and adjusted down, which is kind of nice. Yeah. If you're in a good arm, you're probably lower than most people are in. Yeah. But the bad arms is what got people. Yeah, everybody got them burned. So proud. Well, and that's because they just didn't look at their income, right? It was when income-dependent. Just the nature of the product. I see. Yeah, that was one of these. Yeah. Wall Street came in. They financed mortgages. Now they're out of the market. So Fannie and Freddie are the two main that broke the bank. They broke the bank. Yeah. Yeah. We needed bailouts, right? Yeah. I know. Because I had one. A bailout? I had an arm that went up. Only because at the certain period of time that said I had to start making principal payments. Oh, right. You had an interest-only arm. Yeah. And then that year, seven or eight, it said now you've got to pay principal and back principal for the seven years you didn't pay on top of the principal that you need to pay right now. Yeah. Most people don't understand that. That's ugly. Yeah, it's... So it was accruing interest. You just didn't have to pay it for seven years. Yeah. You'll pay it on your side. That's a lot of money. Yeah. Oh, yeah. How long does that go? Like a 30-year deal? Well, it goes until I decide to get out of the thing. I guess how easy it is to get out of it now. Hard?   Yeah. Oh, you want to roll into another product at some time? I'd like to. It's because I like to roll it into something else. But it's just like when they look at it and you go, wait, you're semi-retired. You've got your own company. You've got no history. You're on fixed income. I've seen your discount. I get so vouched for you. And I don't see the issue. Yeah, I know. And he makes a ton of money. So... I know I talk to guys like Frank. He was like, hey, Frank, how are you getting the loan? No. Nice knowing you, but no. I'll come on your show, though. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why you care. Yeah, let's have a beer. That's good stuff. I think that's how the conversation went. That is exactly how it went. That's awesome. So, but I appreciate your honesty. No problem. Well, yeah. And it's good. I mean, that's what people need to hear, right? Actually, you need to know the truth, especially like don't expose. How much income should people expose to a loan? Like half? Or what's the formula that you're talking about? 40 to 45% of your annual income. You could say you could afford that in a mortgage. Yeah. That would count the insurance and everything. Exactly. What about maintenance on the house? That's all. They don't take into consideration there. Because I got to paint mine. They should because deferred maintenance is big. Yeah. If you buy a fixer-upper, you qualify for the loan, but you can't qualify...  Fix the roof. Oh, yeah, that's a problem. That's going to be a problem. That's going to be an issue. Yeah, yeah. I got to paint mine now. This is like a grant. It's not cheap. Put it in a roof. Oh, to paint it. Oh, to paint the house. Yeah. Yeah, so my Arizona house cost me two grand to paint it. Is that right? What's wrong with this picture? Hawaii labor, I don't know. Yeah. Maybe it's the price of the paint. It's the GE tax, probably, bringing that price up. Yeah. 40, that's true. Because that's 16%, really, when you look at how it's compounded. So, 40 to 45% of your net income... Gross income. Yeah. ...is goes towards your mortgage payment. Mortgage and any consumer debt. Consumer debt that you've got in there. Yeah. So, you've got a car loan, you know, all of those guys. Yeah. And it doesn't take into factor your tuition either for the kids. Wow. Wow. Okay, so... Hawaii, that's a different dynamic. Oh, yeah. So, we got to close up in just a sec. So, what's your website and where can people get a hold of you? Yeah, call Craig. So, we have a really cool website, netlendinghawaii.com. Netlending, okay. Yep. You can check out all of our loan officers, our lenders that we originate for. Okay. And take an application. And take an application. There you go. Get in for the market goes up.

We get the Jimbo case up next. Thanks everybody


I just want the best of luck, Mika. You got it. Me saying you're going down and Leo being like, best of luck. OK, well, then you are going down as well. I will meet the vibe. Try not to panic and have a blue panic and go from there. I feel like I'm going to black out. Like if that makes sense. I feel like I'm going to hear something and all knowledge of anything will just go out of my brain. I'm going to kick your butt. Yes. You know what, I'm going to try my darndest and I just hope you don't trip on a cat. There's my. That is a very likely. Be kind. Your niece is involved in this. Listen. And done. We ride. Listen. All this fair love and war and basketball. Whatever. I love that movie though. Eight booktubers are battling out in pairs in a scavenger hunt. They'll be tasked with finding 10 items and the first of each pair to find one will get a point. This is Booktuber Battle. OK, so round one for this one. It'll make sense when I say it. If you can't do covers, I will allow formats. So like hardback or paperback for this one. But round one is two books from the same series that have mismatched cover designs or formats. You have to tell me if this counts. These are both in the Penguin Clothbound Classics line, but they don't have the same covers. I think it's the same cover design. Like it's the same.  Oh. I feel like even if I had all my books, I don't know because I get rid of those because I. OK, yeah, I do have that. Mara's done it. I have fugitive telemetry and hardback and network effect and paperback. Yep, that counts. You've got the point, Mara. You've got it. I really don't think I don't even because I cannot stand non-matching series. Girl, I'm with you. I am with you.  She cheated. And then the devil before the devil breaks you. Oh, you get so stressful. Oh, my gosh, no, I know I have a bunch. Why am I like panicking right now? Hold on. Oh, God. Where is it? Where is it? Wait. It's air-fired. It's like a hardcover. Yeah. But then I have the mini version. It's a tricky one because it's like the same cover. But because it is different formats, I'm going to give it to Mika because Mika was back first. The only series I own, I found them. You got it. Round two is a reading snack. A reading snack? Hold on. Does Boba teak out? This is what I was drinking while I was reading earlier. I will take it, Mara. I will take it. Did she already get a reading snack? She got a reading snack.  It's a drink, but I feel like it's enough, you know, halfway. I've got pearls. I'm chewing the pearls while I'm reading. Yeah. I feel like it just passes. I might just have a pretzel for all my hard work. Oh, jeez, a reading snack? Oh, my God. Keep it together in the form. So these are like little Dutch biscuits with how they're like sort of speculas. I don't speak English. Well, it's covered in chocolate as well. It's called papier-mâtre. Well, I read it, but we're going to try. And I think I heard that's how I've already made it back. And by the side, you're like, she's going to ask me about food. OK, I have to trust you on this one. So don't lie to me. I'm putting my faith in you. So round three is a book. You've put on multiple TBRs, but haven't read. We have to introduce you to Shelf. Oh, man. I'm arguing the great game. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. But I still have not read this yet.  How was that? Tradition. But it's this book. Oh, my God, where is it? Where is it? Frankenstein. I say I'm going to read this every October. And he said this year, if I don't read it this October, people can unsubscribe from me and I can't read it. Oh, no. Just don't tell them. Maybe they won't. Maybe I won't realize. I totally read it. Round four is something that makes reading more comfortable. Hello for me. My chair. OK. Got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got that one. I got that one. Oh, God. Miko was first. Miko was first. A book written or originally written in a language other than English. What is that? Yasunari Kawabata, snow country. Dang. Dagger. Right there. Right here. It is from Vluck the Heart by Rima Ory and she's a Dutch fantasy author. Oh, no. I know I own things like this. Oh, I have a lot of these, but I don't know what any of them are. I know. I know I'm scared. Hold on. I just read one, didn't I? I think I did. What was it? OK.  The whole. Well, hey, yay, well done. Round six is something that helps you read in the dark. Mm. Mm. Well. Ooh. A candle? Yeah, a little candle. OK. Take on my lamp right here. No. Like breeze literally in a smaller space. This is an unfair advantage. Wait, wait, wait. My ring out?  Because I knew there was going to be a question like this. Yeah. And I can't find it. Oh, no. I can't find it. It's like under my cover somewhere. I probably left it when I got my bear. It got lost in the blankets. Ooh, ooh. Oh, I've got to go so far for this one. A Kindle. Oh, no. I think she already got it, but I kind of get it just to have it. I came ready for this. It's a reading light, but it's all the way in my bedroom, which is all the way on the other side of the house. I think she was done a long time ago. Round seven. This one's been the trickiest round so far that people have been struggling with the most. So round seven is a book published in 2012. Oh. Hmm. That is hard. OK. I mean, I know I have one where it is. Is the question. Oh, I wonder if one of these Mariana's Apodas was published in 2012. That seems possible. 2012. Let's see if one of these boxes has. Let's see. OK, 2015. Well, oh, wait, wait, wait. OK, maybe this. Checking out the Duchess War might be that. The Duchess War by Courtney Milan, which was published in 2012. Hey, you got it. I heard you get it. I was at like 2015. You heard it. Yeah. And then the next one I had was 2007. I was like, how dare you? I know. I got it. I got it. Oh. Got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. And the only reason why I have this one is because I literally just filmed a video about it published in 2012. Dang. Um, hold on. Who remembers the years their books have been published in? Like, I don't. I feel like I have a vivid memory of this being published in 2012. Oh, dang it. 2011. Hold on. 2010.  Maybe in the next book in the series. I'm like shaking right now. Like, I can't even turn the pages. I don't even have any old books. Old 2012. Why did the series jump from 2011 to 2014? I'm going to cry. The problem is also that there's books, like, in random places all over my house. Cinder by Mercer Meyer. Wait, this version was published in 2012. God, what? 2019. I feel like all my books are from 2015 and up, honestly. But I'm so close. 2015. OK, if you are struggling, I will allow one year either side. Oh, my gosh, I just had one before then. I'm going to submit this to the jury. OK. We may need some investigation. I got the Night Circus, which is the best. First Anchor Books Edition, July 2012. Yeah, there you go. You got it. Nice. Oh, my goodness. Oh, this one's a fun one. So for this round, I need you to pick up a random book. You seal your fate with what book you choose. It's not my fault what book you choose. So pick carefully. Go find an item that's on that book cover. A man? Gosh, dang it. Well, OK, with something red count, I have a helmet and a tool, a daisy. I don't even know what flower this is. I've got a chestnut and a man. I don't have a man here. And I don't need chestnuts. You don't have any chestnuts with you? Are you kidding me? You better find a chestnut, Mara. Well, wait, well, no, that won't work. I don't have a helmet. Andrew has hats. I have a hat. Does a hat work? OK, this is a helmet. I have no helmet. Can it be a hat? Yeah, I'll take something like a hat, something that resembles a military hat. So maybe it's kind of like a helmet. Yeah, I think that I think just wins. There's no, I think there's not a man in there. All right, I got it. Yeah, you got that one. You had it. You got it. You got it.  Do you see the item that is on this book cover? There's a girl on top of it. Does that count? Because, well, I'm a girl. You need to find something. Look at her, you know. OK, wait, no, OK. Something. Hold on a second. The person on the cover is wearing shoes, and this is a shoe. I will take care. Oh, no. A house? Water. This one tests how well do you know each other. So round nine is a book you think your opponent should read. Oh. I mean, that can be simple. I want her to have good channel content.  If she hated Allie Hazelwood, she will hate this even more. Oh, my god, no. But I like what I'm going to bring you. I like what I'm going to bring you. I'm giving you the views, Jess. Got it. Got it. Ashley was fast. Damn. I told you I wasn't reading that. No, you did not. I did. No, you did not. I told you I wasn't reading Dinosaur and the Sanctuary. No, you did not. Stop lying. Stop lying, Brie. Who heard it here on 10 or 6 minutes? Brie's just trying to get out of you getting the point. She's trying to get out of that, no. Brie's trying to get out of it. I'm not trying to get out of it, but I was just saying I'm not going to read it. Oh, my god. OK, I've got one. This is only a monster by Vanessa Lenn. Oh, my god, I hope you haven't read it. OK, this is YA Fantasy and it's so good and it's about time travel, but it really gave me some of the Sarah J. Marce-esque vibes, but then a different like jacket and time travel and I love time travel. I actually do own it. You do? I do, so I'll read it now. Ashley's read so many books. Oh, no. I don't think she's read this one. I haven't. Dang. And this is the final round now.  So I apologize in advance for what this round is, but the people wanted it. So round 10 is go dress up as your favorite book villain.  OK, you can't watch me put on clothes, but I know that I'm in here. He's a pirate, so I feel like some kind of pirate outfit is probably what we should do. I'm working on a very shirt. I'm sewing one. And it's not done yet. I've just been working on the pattern, but I have linen for it. So I'm going to try to drape that. Andrew, I need your clothes. So I've got like a scarf-y thing I can do. Oh my god. And then like also don't touch my linen, guys. I've not pressed it. I'm him caught in a sale. Let's go with that. OK, OK, I have jeans on.  But his name is Barrow from Jade City.  So I feel like he would wear a white beater maybe. This is on me. I have jeans on. I promise. I will take it. It's OK. I'm already there. I'm about to get breed at point because I would have to go all the way upstairs to get the clothes. I am the lady from Ray Bear because she had like I'm the little kid. I got on the Afrocentric type of fan. That lady was, she was me. Oh, good. I forfeit my point on that one. She was silenced.  I have no idea. Oh, and the witches hat. It worked. It worked. I love it. Light up. Light up, Pat. I have to think about that. Wait, the camera is not working anymore. No. I'm she's not. Wait, I'm just going to turn it off and on again. Yeah, that's what I usually do. Laura from Witches of Ash and Rune. But I mean, like I wasn't done for, you know, like this is like low-key cheating, though. No, but you were back first and then you were about to say who you were. And then you got distracted by your camera. So I feel like it's an effect. Oh, no. Oh, she's going to have a villain so much faster than I am. OK, hold on. She's an old lady, so I need to find old lady attire. Please hold. If I wear this as a shot, does it look like an old lady? I don't know. Oh my gosh, I forgot the book, but it'll be OK. I'll just tell them what it is. Does this give old lady to you? It does. Yay. I went with Mary from Mary and Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy, who's like kind of a villain, you know? I love they never learn and scarlet like murders men. So I feel like she would wear like I don't remember what she wore in the book, but I feel like she's got to sneak around, you know? I was like, yeah. The winner with six points to four is Mara. Mara won. A true queen. I bow in reverence. Very neck and neck. Yeah. Brie won with six points and Ashley had four. You were sad, wasn't you? I just gave up on that last one.  Yeah, it's like, oh, I handed you the win. I know. I want to interpret that. However you may want to interpret it. I was one fair and square. In the end, the winner with six points is Lea. With seven points to three is Ashley. I had no clue who was going to win because I did indeed black out the entire time and had no idea what the points were. Oh, I knew you were winning. So that was Booktube Battle, the latest episode. I really hope you enjoyed it. It's been a really long time since I did an episode of Booktube Battle because I do take so long to edit, but they're one of my favorite videos to make.

You can get started I suppose if people come in late they come in late So the designate project update. Hi, my name is Graham Hayes. I'm the PTL and I've been the PTL now for quite an extended period of time, so I've seen that I've been with the project as it's grown. I currently work for Verizon I I Help I'm one that leads for the team that runs our internal private cloud so I'm assuming if you're here for the last session, you know what designate is but just a background in it. It's it's designate is about six years old now it was started by a company in Dublin and In 2013 they brought it into the HP public cloud at the time and Started running it as a production service So in Liberty we were added Before the Big Tent we were brought in as a integrator project and The 12% is a longer tree actually we are now up to 19% of production installs use designate and in some of the largest Installs of OpenStack designates a key component so as a recap in Queens we Got all of the goals done. We were actually ahead of the curve for the Queens goals we'd Already split our tempest test out and had the property the beginning of the Python 3 work done For pike there's still a nice standing goal We don't have a whiskey up available yet That's going to become a lot more Urgent as we remove Python 2 because Oslo service plus Python 3 an event that means you can't use SSL So that is the highest one the highest things in our list right now is to get that fixed We removed our legacy API Which also meant that if you had legacy heat objects That used the original v1 Resources You'll have to migrate them to the version 2 Luckily, they're all named different things. So it won't cause conflicts and we were added to the interop guidelines so if you have a Public cloud or if you Sell a product that has a designate in it You can get certification from the foundation to say that you run a certified Interop compatible version of designate and it's an add-on. So you have the Open-stack powered. I think it's called a trademark program. There's a you can have a DNS add-on So you have open-stack compute plus DNS in rocky The loss we got all of the project goals done We we did a lot of Python 3 work Getting it ready as it turns out there was We had there was Compatibility issues for some of our code between Python 3 5 and Python 3 7 So we started getting all that work out of the way so that when The open-stack community as a whole drops Python 2 support. We will run across all the all the major distros on their versions of Python 3 And we merge the open-stack version objects, which is an important step towards debilitating rolling updates without taking down the API or causing interruption to control control plane interactions This cycle and the project-wide goals. We've we're finished the Python one. We've been Cogating on Python for a long time actually For Python 3 and we have The bones of the status upgrade checked on we just need to find something to check because designate being so Compact as a service. There's not a huge amount that can go wrong in an update. So There's not probably not gonna be a huge amount of stuff in there. It's just small gotchas that we've noticed in the past The ability to edit the SOA record data is there's a patch up. We need that it's in review currently Which allows you to override some of the refresh and Other information on the ability to set a serial That's something that a lot of customers have asked for is the ability to say start this at serial, whatever And we had a session earlier this week about doing shared zones So that's the etherpad where we had the discussion It's a fairly simple RBAC solution So the idea the idea is that if you you create cloud calm with cloud company calm And you want other projects be able to update that Zone you should be able to share it with that zone. You also may want to be able to say Okay, nobody can edit this zone, but I want other people to be able to create products cloud company calm as a zone of their own so Allowing other projects create sub-domains of the domain is another level of the shared zone And it's this has been a long outstanding Feature request. I would like to get into Stein, but it's going to be resource dependent So if anyone has free developers When I finished writing the spec based on the etherpad Please shout out It's it should be fairly simple work. It's also a really good way of getting to know how designates put together and How our storage model and everything work works because you'll be touching a lot of the core business logic in designate and For train and beyond we've had one of the large users of designate What has signed themselves up to Start working on split horizon We're not sure what form that's going to take yet. So the spec is going to go up and anyone who has an interest in working on split horizon Please keep an eye out for it and Put in reviews and comments and put in your ideas. It's important to Think about that with the split horizon it will probably it could probably form the basis for GOIP so doing DNS responses based on the requesters geography so I Don't we don't want to re-implement the same thing twice effectively. So GOIP is effectively just a really complex split horizon So we so when we're reviewing the patches, that's what we need to look at and if anyone has a particular interest in Getting something of that in place again, let us know and We can put you in contact the people who are writing the split horizon spec. So you some sort of collaboration can happen There's been asked for a geo redundant control plane So another company has decided has signed up themselves to go come up with a plan But how we can do it? The problem is the problem is that designated is a global service. We're at the same level of flight as keystone having a designate per region doesn't necessarily make sense With different zones so the Obviously you need to have your DNS and the ability to update it Not go down when you lose a If you if you lose a data center, you don't want to be able to not be able to update Records to put traffic to another data center. That will be a bad thing. So It's very welcome work But it is that's probably gonna be quite tricky one and Finally your idea Designate is a fairly simple Project we the aim is to go out is to have an API that's standard to update and create records and zones and Support as many different DNS servers and providers that we as we can so If you have ideas They're great if you have developers to implement them, that's even better but All ideas will be put on to a onto onto a roadmap and as People sign up to say oh, I've free cycles we can help find out at that work Right now there is So this cycle we did in 90 commits the majority of which were bug fixing We have Three three people who working at part-time and a Few others who give time when they can So we're not floundering we're not as bad as we were The two years ago a year ago when I first wrote about it, but we're If we want to address any extra features something like DNS second that's required. We'll require a huge injection of People to make it work and then people to maintain it as it goes forward because We can't just drop a feature in a walk away. We need to do it'll need updates and Maintenance as we go forward so In Mataka There was a plug-in added to Neutron so that when you create a Neutron network you can attach a DNS domain to that network and then when you create a port or floating IP you can attach a DNS name to it and Depending on your setup it'll either push the record out to designate straight away or when you attach a floating IP to that port It'll push the patch. It'll push the name out to designate That is it's in place and it works quite well, but there's as people are using it They're finding more and more use cases where it could be slightly expanded. So we're working getting all that information back I'm working with the Neutron team to make sure All the little bugs or slight modification feature requests people want are in their queue and work done There's also been a request for multiple DNS zones per network So if you have a provider network that is your external network that you share with multiple tenants the ability to have a DNS domain per project for that Network has been asked for That is slightly more work. It's not a small feature But it's something where I'm trying to work through Spec out for the Neutron team and they're fairly receptive to Feature requests for this The integration was written by the current PTL. So I I always use that when they find a bug and need a fixed You wrote this please fix it and We do have a designate sync Every time I come to a summit people ask me about it so Designate sync was written in the early days before we were an open stock official project So what it does is it listens to the rabbit and queue notifications that used to be sent out for salameter So when you create an instance or port or a floating IP It would read that message off the queue and do some automated action. We do highly recommend you move to the Neutron integration. I do know there's a lot of people who have there's a couple of large people large customers who've written very complex Plug-ins for sync, so it's not going to go away, but the documentation isn't going to get any better and We are pushing asking people to move towards the more stable integration that uses the API. So If you have feedback or Suggestions or you're interested in getting involved OpenSync DNS I Live in Ireland, but work Eastern US hours. So there's a high probability. I'll be online at any point in the day I'm designate tag on OpenStack dev or from Monday open stock discuss when they merge the lists I Have an eye filters on the designate keyword in the subject. So it will bypass. It'll go straight into my inbox Or just email me directly directly I will get back to you soon as I can and every two weeks This is complex every every two weeks. We have a meeting and it alternates between a Morning UTC time and an evening UTC time every two weeks so on the eavesdrop Don't open stock to work web page. There's a link to the an ICS file and It will show the right times for the meeting in your calendar if you're interested in joining But you don't feel like you have to wait for a meeting to talk to people in IRC all the contributors are We also were on IRC most of the time and even if we don't answer you straight away We might we'll probably answer you in an hour or two later So don't be Disheartened if you don't get immediate response, but we are there bugs. We have a collection of relatively Good starter bug fixes that are on launchpad with the low hanging fruit tag If you feel like you want to do anything just pick one of those up and start working on it And we'll review the code as you put it up. If you have any questions again The IRC or the meeting or email will help you out. I'm Probably the easiest the best thing is docs. It's always the buyer's rent entry for people So especially if our docs are wrong There we've noticed a couple of places that things have changed and that a doc isn't necessarily correct anymore please either File a bug or even better put up a patch to fix it And but if you can see it also if you see areas that are could be improved to make it easier for people Just let us know And finally that link there is the review dashboard so At the top there's an urgent fix and priority fixes if you feel like doing reviews They are the places to start and Then after that just start working if you want to if you want to review anything just look at the Haseul needs review these are The changes that we're looking for reviews for I'm I've been asked I know for a lot of for a lot of people getting the company to agree to contribute requires a path to core Or the ability to be a project leader We're fairly open to people becoming core. There's no ceremony about it As long as I can see people are doing consistently good reviews and they're doing a sustained reviews they're not Doing say five one day then nothing for a month and then another five if you're doing every week every week an hour say just reviewing what's there. It's a very quick way for us to promote you into core and I Would I would I would rather go with the trust model that I trust you to ask questions if you don't even if you're a core reviewer And you don't know what to if you don't know to approve it or not to ask questions. So We don't have huge gay keeping problems We let people in I'm and that's Pretty much it for me Is there any questions for anyone? That's everyone just want to go get beer seeing we're in Berlin Okay, thank you very much


Hello, my name is Elio and I'm a Yale 2020 intern at the San Francisco Public Library. Today I'm going to be showing you how to dye white flowers with food dye and the science behind it. The supplies you're going to need for this project are two cups filled with water, one white flower, any type should work, a pair of scissors or a knife, and your two choices of food coloring. I'd recommend experimenting with different flowers and different food coloring to get the results that you want. The first step that we're going to do is cut the flowers. I'd recommend adult supervision or help from an older sibling if you're young with the scissors and knife. For the first step we're going to cut our flower. If you want to dye your flower only one color you can skip this step. Measure two and a half inches up from the base of the flower and with a sharp knife cut down the middle making sure to do it even otherwise it will not work. Even if you just want to dye your flower one color make sure to cut off about a half of an inch at the bottom of the stem to let it suck up more water and have a more color for flower and better results. The second step that we're going to do is add the food dye to the water. First pick out your different colors. I picked green, red, and blue. I recommend darker colors and if you're dyeing one flower multiple colors colors that contrast each other. I picked green for the flower I was dyeing with one color and red and blue for the other multiple color flowers. Add about three drops of food coloring and remember to experiment with different colors for different results. Finally we're going to add the flowers to the glass. Next mix the food coloring in with the water then add the flowers to the jar. I found with some of the flowers that I needed to prop them up on a wall so the flowers didn't tip over.  You may be wondering how the flowers actually change color so let's talk about the science behind it. The way this works is that plants have little tubes inside of them called xylem. The xylem is represented on the photo by the red and blue lines.  You can picture the xylem like little straws pumping the water up the stem and throughout the flower. Once the water is pumped up the stem by the xylem it is then transported around the flower. The water helps with plants photosynthesis or getting energy through the sun. The water also helps the plants by transporting protein throughout the plant helping it grow and survive. The reason that the plants change color is due to the dye in the water being pumped up by the xylem then transported around changing the colors of the petals due to the dye. Now let's finally look at the result. As you can see the first flower that we dyed with red and blue dye is now multiple colors. It is kind of faint which may have to do with the fact that the stem was cut in half. Overall I think the flower came up pretty good. Now let's look at the next one. As you can see the second flower is very green. The reason this is is because the green dye is darker than the red and blue. This could also be because the stem on the green flower was not cut in half. Overall if you want darker colors I recommend sticking with one color per flower but if you want multiple just know that it may be lighter in shade. Thank you for watching and be sure to check out the rest of the stem challenge yourself videos by SFPL librarians and Yale interns.
