up to the podium, that would be appreciated. So once again, the book launch today is for Rise in the Global Economy, Strategic Research and Policy Issues for Food Security. To start the presentations is going to be the chair of the editorial board of the book, Dr. Sushil Pandil, Andy, who is a senior economist at ERI. The book covers the display there in the global economy. There is a book being prepared. The natural question that comes to mind is that why one more book? Why another book? Rise in the Economy. There have been several books in the past. Going as far back as 1941, two people wrote about Rise in the Economy of Monson in Asia, highlighting some of the issues at the time. And in 1985, Randy Barker and Bob Hurd wrote the book, The Asian Rise in the Economy, capturing many of the highlights of the Green Revolution up to that time. And I would like to remind you that in 1995, it was also the year of 25 years of ERI's founding. See what you mean? And here today we are here under the 50th year. Sushil Pandil, another book that Prabhu mentioned in his opening address also, The Asian Rise Balls in the Turning Crisis. And that brought many of the issues up to date, up to that 96th stage. And we know very well that 96, 97, and 13, 14 years behind us, there have been many changes. And we have seen those trends in the global economy, global price production, all those issues that we saw in the context of food prices of 2008, the prices fight and so on. But the war down is quite different from what it was in the 1990s. Many of those trends are still there, but there are many new issues that have come and hence we felt that it is quite appropriate on this occasion of the 50th anniversary of ERI's founding that we prepare a book not to tell how fantastic ERI has been, what a fantastic drug eating has done that you all know already. What we wanted to do is to look ahead and to say that, okay, even all these trends that we know of, the changes that are taking place in the global economy and how agriculture and other sectors are getting increasingly linked, integrated and the issues that we have of food insecurity, price problems and so on, what are the things, what kind of the rice system will evolve in the future or what kind of rice system will be needed for us to assure food security from the global. So it's a kind of a... asking various strategic questions and some of those that I have listed there that how will the growth of rice change in the context of economic growth and how will rice increase in the future? Small farm, large farms, how will the scarcity will affect rice production and quite importantly, can the poor depend on rice trade for a stable food security? We saw some big problems in 2008 and what can be done to address those problems? What's the role of Africa and how will climate change will affect the future of rice production? So this book is about developing a new reason for the future of rice farming and the purpose being to a strategic position in restaurant, in rice research, technology delivery and design of policy reform. So really help us to think about these key issues and looking ahead, not doing an introspective analysis. Of course there will be some basis for moving ahead but our focus of this book is really looking ahead for what we need. And this book highlights five major challenges. These include meeting the global food security needs. We know that the food security needs of the poor are still somewhat unmet. There are a lot of risks. Food security is still tenuous as shown by the 2008 food crisis. So in the context of the changes like the diversification of diets and the role of rice changing in condoms and baskets, what are those things that we need to do to ensure the global food security? A very important one. The second point which is how do you successfully manage the structural change? We all know that in the course of economic development, other sectors of economy grow. The side of agriculture in the relative sense will shrink over time. People will start seeking employment in the non-finance sector. And in those contexts, how do you successfully manage the structural change so that the balance of the income distribution between the rural and urban population is managed better with the needs of the consumers and the producers? And how do we also facilitate the exit of many other farms from rice production or from agriculture? So these are the rural issues that will affect not only the way that we produce but also the way we will be able to address the problem of the deep poverty. Because that is the key of the problem. In terms of addressing the poverty that is so persistent. The third one, enhancing efficiency in input yield and value change. All related to the aspects where we need to be able to save on the input that are becoming more and more scarce like labor border and so on. And also opportunities of the value change. Closedly, related to that is the reducing the environment of rice production. Of course, by improving the input efficiency that will make a big impact on reducing the impact of rice production. There are also other direct effects from rice production that could be environmentally positive by the technology that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and so on. And finally addressing lagging regions. Many of the renferry areas, upland areas that are poorly connected with the markets the poverty is very deep and how we address problems in those reasons. So this book, various chapters in this book try to tackle some of these issues and then come up with some ideas on the technological opportunities, technological intervention and the policy and institutional changes that are needed to be able to address these five major challenges. I'll just quickly take you through the process of how this book idea came through. I had a brief chat with Prabhu in 2008 in Manila, in the context of the Asian Agricultural Economics Association meeting and I bounced this idea off you that how about that he would prepare a book on the occasion of his 50th anniversary and he was very pleased he said that yes come up with a proposal and I would take a look and that's what we started in 2008, August and after that we constituted an editorial board to manage the whole process, commissioned the chapters lead authors contacted, identified and contacted. We had a workshop in Beijing in 2009 and all the papers, chapters were here with you and the editorial board that managed the process put the list there with me and the chair of the board and Derek Byrony from the World Bank and currently a member of the SPIA, Debbie Dahl a team of women from the U.D. who is Sam Mamanthi this is the group that managed the whole process and here is a long list of authors just when the book got printed 59, each column has 20, the middle has 19, so it's 59 they are contributing very well known by the established experts in their own fields and others reviewed each of the chapters and board members also reviewed the chapters and there are 4 sections in the book and each of these sections has a set of key issues with the rise in the global food economy that deals with the broader issues on the consumption demand structure of transformation and rise and so on I do not want to go through the whole list just to give you a quick glimpse and how rice production and post-savvy operation might be done in the future and the input efficiency how that can be improved and we looked at each of the components particularly to the managing irrigation test and to the post-savvy and we gave it quite a bit of a crisis on the rice market structure because we know in 2008 the problems we saw were related to market structures so they were both the domestic market and the international market component trade component and finally a backup theme on the issues related to the technologies what can we do so this book basically presents a very rich set of ideas to address some of the challenges that I have listed before I will not go through the list here right now but let me just complete my presentation by expressing acknowledgement expressing our appreciation of the Foundation of the funding support many of the authors and co-authors are now trying to this chapter and the ED support staff help out we have a strong support for the ED board at the back of the ED management so that's the process that we went through as I said it's a very rich in concept, 18 chapters I will very much encourage you to get hold of a copy read it carefully and I'm pretty sure that you'll find what happens there insightful for researchers, for policymakers for others who are interested in the rice sector thank you very much


So there's two things you can do in the space between stories when you don't know what to do. One thing is to do nothing, and the other thing is to do something. Try something out, make mistakes, and find out what doesn't work. The danger is to, out of urgency or fear, to keep doing what you had been doing in the old story, knowing maybe on some level that it's not going to work, but feeling afraid to not do anything. So in that case it's a lot better to just not do anything at all. And then you can give yourself permission to act from a different spirit, from a different animating force that isn't fear, isn't the panic of I have to be doing something, I don't know what to do, let me just do what I used to do. That feels a little safer, but instead to act from a spirit of play, a spirit of exploration. It's kind of like a, yeah, to follow what makes you feel alive. Yeah, I would say really to act from a spirit of play and exploration. And yeah, let's try this. Maybe it won't work, but I'm not afraid to try. Especially, not afraid to do things that seem illogical, irrational, naive, irresponsible, impractical. Probably there are, could be parental voices, societal voices, economic pressures, or your own internal voices that say going around New Zealand, making a film about these kind of things, that's not going to get you anywhere, that's irrational, impractical, unrealistic, especially when you're just starting on something audacious. There's probably those voices and economic pressures that back it up. I mean, what's practical is to go to work for the machine. What's practical is to contribute to the technological and cultural program of domination. And if you contribute well to that, if you cut down lots of forests, if you develop new fracking techniques, then you're going to make a lot of money. That's practical. But to step into something that is not involved in the extraction of products from nature, or the extraction of services from the social matrix of relationships, then you're not going to be financially rewarded in general. Or the path to financial reward is going to be very mysterious, very dark. You're not going to know how your gifts are going to come back to you. So most of the things, not all, but most of the things that are most needed today are not nearly as financially rewarding as the things that are just perpetuating the status quo. So it requires a bit of naivete, a bit of impracticality to step into them. Yeah, so fear of making mistakes is certainly part of what dissuades us from doing what's really necessary. Also, economic pressures, it's not just some psychological thing. So many people want to leave their careers to do something meaningful, to do something beautiful to them. And it's not their imagination that they will no longer get a salary when they step into that.  Like that happens sometimes. Some people have amazing inventions that do really help the world and that people buy and they make a lot of money from it. I'm not saying that never happens, but in general, usually there's a step of courage required. Usually whatever that step is for you, and it's different for everybody, but whatever that next step into the new story is, it's going to come with a little bit of uncertainty. It's going to require courage. We have to see that, even if we're looking at the people that we blame for the problems. Maybe, I don't know, oil company executives or bankers or politicians, and we think if I were that person, I would do better. I would make different choices. I wouldn't continue that policy or whatever. But that belief that if I were you, I would do better than you were doing, that means that you don't understand what it's like to be that person. You don't understand the totality of influences converging on that person. Their biographical influences, their childhood, their education, their acculturation, and the pressures that surround them. If you understood all of that, you'd realize that it takes just as much courage for them to make the next step into service to a more beautiful world as it does for you to take your next step. We're all in this together. And when we let go of the judgmentality that says, I would do better than you, then it opens up curiosity. What is it like to be you? How can I change that totality of circumstances? How can I change the story that you're living in? And that allows us to be much more effective than we are in an oppositional frame that says, you're bad and I'm going to stop you. Like sometimes that works, especially if you have more force at your disposal than they do and you can stop them. But normally speaking, those with the most force at their disposal are those in charge. And you're not going to stop them with more force. You're not going to outgun the military industrial complex. We have to rely on a change of heart. We have to rely on their story breaking down, not working for them. So how do we do that? How do we create conditions for a change of heart? How do we disrupt the system and disrupt the story that they're living in? How do we accelerate, perhaps, or facilitate their stepping out of that story, the breakdown of the story? How do we do that? What's the story built of at the most basic level? These are the kinds of questions we have to ask. So I'm not suggesting that everybody just do nothing and withdraw from the world. That's not always the right advice. It's especially the right advice when you feel trapped in your patterns of doing and you see perverse results from those patterns of doing. So for example, if someone's like a repeat dieter and they keep going on diets and losing weight and gaining it back again and losing weight and gaining it back again and getting fatter and fatter after each round, instead of saying, okay, you should go on another diet and try harder this time, you might say, well, stop dieting. Like maybe if you stop trying to control your eating and you really trust yourself, maybe some different, maybe you should not do anything. Whatever you're doing that isn't working. And it's obvious that it's not working, but you're afraid to stop doing it. Then that's the time to not do anything. It's because we need a period of unlearning of deprogramming. But then when you've, when you've done that a bit, when there's a little distance between you and your old habits, you're going to feel the desire to act.  And you might not know what to do, but you still operate according to your best understanding.  And you fall back again into the sense of surrender, futility, okay, I don't know what to do again. That, those attempts to meet the needs around you in a different way, eventually call upon a new understanding to come to you. But it needs that empty space in order to come to you. It needs that surrender. It needs that giving up, which doesn't mean it's subtle because I'm not even offering surrender as a formula, because then you end up with fake surrender. If you're trying to surrender, it's a really natural process of giving up out of often out of exhaustion, out of burnout, like that's a good thing. I just can't do it anymore. Well, it could be because what you've been doing is not what you're supposed to be doing. So it's good that you can't do it anymore. And what you actually need to be doing or what the next step is for you, it could be something that in your old story was inconceivable or would have seemed like a waste of time.  You know, I know a guy who did that. He was in politics. And it's, now he's a musician and he says it's not that he gave up trying to change the world. I mean, he did in a way, but it's that he's much more effective now at changing the world than he was as a politician, where everything he did was pretty much constrained by the system. And politicians play a certain role in the drama. And if they deviate too far from that role, they get ejected. So they either allow themselves to be ejected or they make compromises.  And there's a certain range in which they're allowed to do that. But really mostly what they are is placeholders or functionaries. So that might be an example of like a totally different life path that seems insane almost from your old perspective. So that's why some kind of descent into an empty space, a dark space, a liminal space is usually necessary to really change your life path. But it could just happen to you. It's not something like, okay, now what I need to do is go into the space between stories. This is a process much bigger than we are. It happens often through an illness, you know, through a divorce, through a bankruptcy, through like something that looks from the other side as a catastrophe. But then only when you've gone through it is revealed as the greatest gift you could have received.


Yes, hi guys, welcome back to this channel, remember, it's Max from the Max creation TV and I am next. Remember, I'm still going through what you call the simple sample interview, security interview questions, mostly in the Gulf countries. They are not looking too much. These recruiters, these employers are not looking for something much. A small, small question that you may undermine is what is going to be asked to you and fail it out. They will not take you out. They will choose someone else who is a little bit better. They will choose someone who has got it right. Another very common important question that is being asked is genuinely why do you want this job? It is something very small but people take it for granted. Why do you need this job? Are you going to say I need the job because I want money? This person is not going to give you a visa. He is not going to select you for that visa. You need to actually explain why you are fit for that job. Why you think out of the 20 of the 30 people behind you that are looking for the same job, you should be hired as you number one or you should be looked at as the number one priority for that sponsor or that company. And that's what comes back to you. Why do you need this job? By the way, if it's your first time to come across this channel, remember I give you all the updates and I'm giving the updates regarding jobs, regarding everything in trouble. The law, what governs the law, especially for people who are living in Qatar. Most of us would not know this but we get overshadowed by what's happening and we fall in trouble. Most of these things we get to share and it's only here that I can let you know. Most of these modern information tips that you definitely need to know. Let's go back to the video. Let's go back to why do you need this job? Yes, that's the question that will be asked to you. Yes, to me I'll say I'm genuinely excited to take up this opportunity. I'm excited to be interviewed. I'm excited to be called for an interview. That is number one that you should thank the interviewer. Yes, it may not be mandatory but show them that you are interested in the job and you are happy or you are excited to be called to be on the panel to be called for interview. That is one thing that you need to discuss. Tell this interviewer that your skills or your career or your skills that you have align well with what position they are recruiting. Let's say for example, they are looking for security job supervisor. Or they are looking for a security job team leader. Show this interviewer that for the company you are from or the company that you worked for as a security team leader or as a security supervisor. This role that they are advertising right now or what they are recruiting now is aligns well with the role that you had, the role that you are performing before. That the same skills that you did, the same skills that you got from there you can align them or you can push them here to make sure that you deliver something that's really very good for them for the company to benefit in one way or another. For me myself, what do you think I'm going to say if someone say why would you like to be hired or why do you think you are fit for this job. These are most of the questions that are being asked every single day and people get fail up. And this person recruiting, he look at you from that perspective. People looking or interviewer are looking for security guard who are going to add on the company, who are going to be innovative. Who are going to be innovative. To me, I would definitely say I'm genuinely excited about this job because it aligns my career aspiration a strong foundation in the field of security and the role of a security supervisor from the back-hards company presents an exciting opportunity for me to deliver extraordinary results when you give me this opportunity. Yes, what else do I need? I've not talked much, I've talked something small that's why I need the job. I'm confident, I'm dressed well I'm looking into the eyes of the interviewer the presentation of myself is perfect what do you think I have to say I think I've definitely been given it all and for people who are being asked that question please present yourself that you can add something to that company don't present yourself like you're going to be a liability to the company present yourself like you're going to be an added asset or an added asset to that company that's what most of the employers want thank you so much by the way for coming to this channel remember it makes giving you all the updates and I'll give you all the updates that you want in any way see you again in the next video


Elon Musk's Twitter debacle continues to get worse, but somehow funnier simultaneously, and this has been very entertaining and at first I've got to admit I was against Elon Musk purchasing Twitter all the way, didn't necessarily care that much, but to see the way that things have unfolded and how it's been a complete disaster, I've got to say I think that this was a good move for him, not financially or publicly, but just it was a good move just from my entertainment purposes. And so the only thing that he really seems to care about is recouping his losses after irresponsibly purchasing Twitter for much more than it's worth. And he wants to make back that money by essentially wooing back advertisers. The problem is that another thing that could hurt his revenue is failing to live up to the standards of regulators, and he's just now kind of openly sparring with senators who are going to be overseeing his platform. For example, Senator Ed Markey tweeted, a Washington Post reporter was able to create a verified account impersonating me, I'm asking for answers from Elon Musk, who is putting profits over people and his debt over stopping disinformation. Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again. So lawmakers have questions, but Elon Musk responds to that saying, perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody? Well, he then added, and why does your profile pic have a mask? So let's just pause for a moment there. You have Ed Markey, a US Senator whose party is in control of the White House and the FTC, and they have very serious questions. And the response from the owner of Twitter now, Elon Musk, is responding by essentially shitposting and joking about it. I mean, look, I've got to say it's entertaining, but if I were Elon Musk, I wouldn't act like a child in response to a United States Senator who could ruin you. This is how Ed Markey responded, because he didn't let this go. He tweeted in response, one of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety, watchdog, and HTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you're spending your time picking fights online, fix your companies or Congress will. Now that is a threat by a US Senator.  I just I love this so much. Honestly, I love it so much. I hope that he continues to act like a buffoon because I want him to see that there is a finding out phase that comes after you eff around. Now the problem and as Ed Markey alluded to, Twitter is under an FTC consent decree. Now, Elon Musk should in theory be doing everything in his power to keep the executives who are helping Twitter remain in compliance with said FTC decree. But the problem is that that's not happening. Now as HuffPost reports, Twitter's new owner Elon Musk is further gutting the teams that battle misinformation on the social media platform. As outsourced moderators learned over the weekend, they were out of a job. Twitter and other big social media firms have relied heavily on contractors to track hate and enforce rules against harmful content. But many of those content watchdogs have now headed out the door. First when Twitter fired much of its full-time work force by email on November 4th, and now as it moves to eliminate an untold number of contract jobs. Content moderation expert Sarah Roberts, an associate professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who worked as a staff researcher at Twitter earlier this year, said she believes at least 3,000 contract workers were fired Saturday night. So let me just take a moment to try to clarify how this demonstrates that Elon Musk has no clue what he's doing. So he's so desperate to make Twitter profitable and recoup some of his losses that he announced mass layoffs on November 4th. That's what the article demonstrated, right? But you can't just lay off everyone and expect that the money that you're saving on labor is going to be recouped because that's not necessarily the case. As you let go of the content moderation teams, advertisers might not want to come back to the platform because they don't want to put money into a platform that is accessible. But on top of that, if you let go of the people or you allow them to resign by not trying to aggressively poach them to stay, if you allow them to resign and these folks are the individuals who keep you in compliance with the FTC, well, then what's going to happen? I mean, I'm no expert, but this could lead to fines, untold costs that he didn't anticipate. So by firing so many people, he could have cost himself more money when he was hoping to save on labor. Now, one example is Yol Roth. This was the head of content moderation at Twitter. Now, on November 4th, Yol Roth tried to reassure everyone, probably advertisers, namely that even if the entire company saw 50% cuts about, well, the content moderation team only saw 15% of cuts. But the problem is Yol Roth, who was arguably Musk's greatest asset, he resigned along with other top executives, which could actually spell doom for the company. Now, as Rihanna Pafferkorn explains, in 2011, Twitter agreed to a 20-year FTC Consent Order over its data security practices. In May, FTC fined Twitter 150 million for violating the 2011 order and issued a modified order. If Twitter so much as sneezes, it has to do a privacy review beforehand. Per the order, a small team of senior executives is on the hook from making privacy and security decisions, which are legally binding on the company, and a senior officer has to certify compliance with the order annually to the FTC. Dollars to donuts, that small team mandated by the FTC order, equals all the people who just quit. So here we are, they're violating the FTC order already. Twitter has a compliance notice due to the FTC today, 14 days after change of control. And so if it seems to you like he doesn't care about the FTC decree, that's because he seemingly doesn't, at least according to what his lawyers say, as the Verde reports, Musk's personal attorney tells people that Elon Musk puts rockets into space so he's not afraid of the FTC. So on one hand, he is desperate to save money and he wants to do that any way he possibly can. So he's cutting labor. But on another hand, fines from the FTC, assuming you're not in compliance and you get these fines, that's also going to cost you. But when it comes to that, he's like, eh, so you know, billionaires, they usually care about profits only, but Elon Musk seemingly is more concerned about his tough guy persona, even more so than profits, which is interesting. But it kind of just demonstrates how big of a man baby he is.  He's continuing to skir off advertisers with his new verification program because that may have cost one pharmaceutical company billions. So a parody account for Eli Lilly tweeted that we are excited to announce insulin is free now. And that single tweet sparked panic across the company with executives scrambling to contact higher ups at Twitter as the Washington Post reports. And that single tweet may have led to a 4.5% drop in Eli Lilly's stock. And as Eric failed ding reports, Eli Lilly executives are raging and furious at losing $20 billion in market cap from this stunt with Twitter Blue. It's too bad they don't see their own damn insulin price gouging as the actual problem. Karma, Lilly Pad, karma. So not only was the rollout of Twitter Blue a hilarious mess, but it cost a greedy pharmaceutical giant, potentially billions of dollars if it is the case that that drop in their stock is correlated with that fake tweet. And it may have scared away Twitter's advertisers even more. I mean, the story just keeps getting better. So ironically, I like watching the train wreck that is now Twitter, but at the same time, I'm probably gonna be sad if it does go the way of the dodo just because inadvertently Elon Musk made Twitter better just by running it like a complete buffoon and giving us something to be entertained by. So I guess that we have to thank him for that at least. But certainly I'm going to watch this train wreck until it's over. But certainly it doesn't look good for Elon Musk and it keeps getting worse.  I'm going to come.  Welcome to the Carousel.


All right, lady. What is this? Hey everybody and welcome to Chantel. It's me, Lady Aida with me, Mr. Lady Aida. We're here at the Adafruit factory. We do all our design and manufacturing, but for the next half an hour we're gonna be checking in with people around the world. What are they crafting and making and 3D printing and selling and soldering? We're gonna find out. Come on by. Everyone's welcome. We're here for the next 25 ish minutes on Streamyard. We're gonna kick it off with some Adafruit peepsie with their up to and then we'll go on to some guests as well First up is Noam Pedro. Hello. Hey folks. Yeah, I was like gonna practice before. No practice live demo. No practice live. So this is a fun little project that I wanted to make a case for. So Carter Nielsen put together a circuit Python powered sketching toy with an OLED display. So we thought it'd be cool to remake the project with display IO, a Feather M4 and this time the TFT Feather. So instead of an OLED we're using the TFT. And it's it's got two knobs, right? So you might know some iconic toys that you can sketch or perhaps etch with. You can use these knobs to move the little cursor around. And some trademark name. I like to etch. I like trademark name with a red enclosure. The I don't even know what to spell. I'm so nervous right now. So anyway, you can use the metal button to clear the drawing. And Carter made it so you can easily change some of the things like the colors. And so all I want to do is play around with the scale factor so you can kind of get a better idea of the things. So I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to I'm gonna try to etch an icon. Y'all might know. It's like a manual transmission tron game. Is it? What is this? What could this possibly be? I have no idea. I know what it is. It's a floppy disk. It's a floppy disk. I thought it was going to be the sad mac. Yeah. I got to work on mine. Beautiful art. It's hard to get the kind of fun. Yeah. So folks can build this. It's really customizable and you will spend all your time doing this. Making floppy icons. It's a pixel design. It is a pixel design. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I want to make the cow dog but I could get in trouble. That's fine. I remember rescues incentives. Yeah. We're not at the point where YouTube has content matching on drawings yet. Don't worry. It's next year. Oh no. Cool. All right. Don't drop Mickey Mouse. Well, we'll be showing the videos and also your speed up on tonight's Ask an Engineer. All right. Thanks guys. All right. Next up JP. What are you going on this week? Well, I got a couple of things going on. I had shown a little while ago this lovely little web server running on, I'll hold it over here, a little web server running on a Feather TFT ESP32 S2 and now I'm making a little enclosure for it. It has the battery in there. This one's running the little Wordle server, but it's a sort of a general web server in a box thing. So I'm going to be sprucing this up a bit and then putting out a guide on that. I've started a guide so people can make their own little post-apocalyptic web servers for their favorite word games. They might not want to. You know, just on a side note, because like we all live in the world, when we started some of these projects, we're like, oh, we should make Wordle in case like there's no internet.  So yeah, if you're worried about these things, go ahead and make your make your offline Wordle. If you're really concerned about that, you can do that now, but we didn't we didn't time this this way. No, but timing has a way of catching up with you. And then over here on this monitor here, I've got Mario taking a nap right now on this little TV. I just found I was I was really lucky. I've been looking for a good CRT on the side of the road for about seven or eight years now and rejecting ones that were either too big or dumb brands or had a VHS tape in them. But I finally found this little 13 inch Sony that works great. I'm so excited about it. Is that the monitor that has little knobs on the bottom? No, it is not. It is a TV, like a personal TV. It's very nice. Yeah, it's not bad. I'm going to have to pull the shell off to tune like focus and stuff a little, which is slightly scary, but no knobs on it at all. It just has video and antenna on it. But the fact that it has composite NTSC video on the back is exciting because you can fit bang your ESP 32. I've got a feather ESP 32, this new revision, the V2 running this really cool vapor wave Dolly clock demo that I'll post info about it. There's a couple of libraries that led to it, including Bitlooney and Rossum. And then the Mario T or Marcio T, I think is the name of the creator of this particular demo. Really cool. It uses the Wi-Fi on the ESP to grab either you can set it from like a web browser on your phone or on your computer once it gets on the network, or you can have it just use internet time. So it'll go and grab it once you let it onto your own Wi-Fi network. It even has, I don't know if I can trigger it. It even has a little cap touch on one of these that'll switch the date on. There we go. Oh, that is nice. A bunch of effects you can have it change its color scheme based on time of day or just ramp through all the colors over the course of a minute or an hour. So it has some neat features. And we've got some plans on doing a little bit of a guide involving this sort of thing, maybe not with this particular board, but it'll definitely definitely work with with our newest Feather ESP32. It looks like a great PC junior demo. I love it. It does. Yeah. All right. Nice work. I will do a guide for this as well, but we'll maybe use some upcoming hardware. Exactly. Yeah, that's a tease. And we'll play this video, some other videos, and your product pick, and also your parsec tonight on Ask an Engineer. So tune in, everyone to tune in tomorrow. Yeah. Making all new content tomorrow, so come come in for some more. All right. Thanks so much, Yipi. All right. Next up, Scott, what's going on? Hello, hello. Talking about colors. So let me switch. I've been working on a keyboard, which should not be surprising. So let me switch to the hover cam and hopefully I'll come up here. So this is the left half of my keyboard. And you can see that I've got LEDs below all the keys, and the keys are transparent, which is pretty cool. And I just wanted to, I kind of gone through this realization recently that color wheel, so we have in CircuitBython rainbow.io.colorwheel, is like super handy for things that aren't just making like LED strips do color wheel. I'm using it here as like a heat map. So this is actually like, I'll put the cover of it. So this is blue to red, kind of through the color wheel, but using that as a like what keys I press the most. So this is a heat map. And you can obviously see the home row here, plus the T is like kind of the main key that I've been using on this left hand side. It's not QWERTY. It's not QWERTY. It's Colnack, which is my favorite thing. And this is why it's worth switching layouts. But yeah, so this is a demonstration because like normally F is not the most common key. But this shows like there's less RSI risk because your key you press the most is the one that you don't have to move for. Oh yeah, I've been I've been super happy with that. And you can actually see, because this is overhead, this is my trackball on the left here. And you can see that when I light it up, the QWERTY pie here is doing a touch sensor. And then I use the right hand side for all my mouse presses and stuff too. So I wanted to show this just as a really another, I think pretty cool use of color wheel that's now built in. The other use that I had was using it to identify different sensors and the broadcast net stuff is you can get pretty distinct colors within that 255 range. And so if you need just like, I have three devices, and I want to show different colors for each of them. You just plop some number in there and you get something relatively distinct and unique versus like trying to do like RGB independently and getting something that doesn't look like a white is actually quite hard. Very nice. So color wheel is just awesome for that. And of course KB2040. And this is the so full new version that uses the reverse mount new pixels, which are way better than trying to reverse mount the regular ones. Yes. I tried to do the regular ones and I couldn't do it. Like I've been soldering for a while and I couldn't handle it. And then I got these boards with the reverse mounts and they're just like so much nicer. Yeah, they're very hand solderable. All right. And this Friday you're still on for deep dive with Scott? Yep. This will be the last deep dive I do before I'm off on paternity leave and planning on chatting with FOMI guy who's going to be taking my spot over for me starting next week. Right on. So we're going to do a crossover. 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. this week? 5 p.m. Eastern. So 2 p.m. Pacific. That's why I'm not. All right. Cool. All right. Thank you so much, Scott. Thanks for coming by, Scott. Thank you. All right, Jeff. What you got going on this week? Hi. It's not a keyboard. Maybe I'll bring a keyboard sometime soon. But I've been working with my Apple II floppy drive and here it is disassembled. Oh, there's the front. Disc 2. So what we're looking at today is this is how the spindle motor works. There's a motor up here which rotates a pulley and comes down here and there's no index sensor. But all of our duplicating software and backup software and archival software really wants the index sensor there. So I looked around on the internet at what people are doing and my plan is to add one of these reflective sensors on a little 3D printed post. So we'll lift it up and kind of place it here between the arms of the pulley and hopefully sticking tape on the wheel will work out. So that's what I've been playing with. And if you follow the development on FlexEngine, I've been successfully reading and not really successfully writing floppies for my real Apple II using a PC drive and a FlexEngine re-sweezel. So more floppy stuff. Just wanted to show kind of the interior of this old drive. By the way, they did not go up in values. So, you know, this was not a good investment if you were looking too long. They're cheaper now than they used to be. Yeah, I mean, they're lower than the introduction price, let alone the price of interest. There's always something you can do whatever price point you're willing to spend with retro stuff. So that's one of the cool things about it. Because there's a lot of some things and some things are a little bit more scarce. But you can always find something. All right. Well, thanks so much, Jeff. All right. More floppies next time, maybe. Yes. We're going to go to Phil B, paint your dragon. You have a book, I think. And then we're going to go to Mark, and then Liz, and then Paul. You got some other people for a bit. No. No. Too late. Now you're here. Okay. All right. Anyway, you know, I like super esoteric computer history type stuff. Yeah, by the way. I'm shocked. This is my shock. This museum in Mountain View is open again. They've been closed because of the pandemic for a while. But you can go tour the exhibits there again. You know, just they have the requirement. You need the mask and everything, but that's cool. It's a fun place to visit. But I wanted to mention this book. I've been raving about this on Twitter. If you haven't seen it, it's a book called, Biography of the Pixel by Elvie Ray Smith. And yeah, right there. He co-founded Pixar. He invented the idea of the alpha channel, HSV color. Like the guy has like street cred with computer stuff. And it's basically...  Right. It's an account of the history of computer graphics leading up to movies like Toy Story and Ice Age, things like that. And so a number of years back, he kind of retired from computer stuff and he pursued genealogy. And just as he distinguished himself in computer graphics, he's like this big dude in genealogy now. There's societies and awards and stuff. And there's a certain thoroughness to genealogical analysis. And he applied that same sort of thing to the history of computer graphics and where a lot of things came from. A lot of the things we hear about with like Nyquist and sampling theoroments. History is written by the victor, as they say. And it's like a lot of these things came from other places. And he kind of gives a whole account of where a lot of this stuff came from. And it's, if you like wildly esoteric computer history, it's chock full of them. So I would recommend this if you're a very much a techno geek, interesting read. It's like some mind-blowing stuff about computer history. That's great. I might see if the library has it. I have some books that I hope I can show. I'll only just do this one preview because this is the inside the personal computer. It's an illustrated pop-up book. Yeah, so classic. That's my trade for you since I said if you show a book, I'll show a book. Okay, fair enough. Funny thing, one of the mind-blowing moments in here. The very first digital stored program computer. The Manchester baby also had, that's where computer monitors came from. The first computer had the first monitor. And you think it's like something that came along later. Yeah, you know what they say, which came first? The computer monitor or the computer? I don't know what says that. So anyway, it's just lots of just weird tracks through history. Thank you, Paint Your Dragons, Book Club. Have a month. All right, thanks, Sylvie. All right, next up, we're going to go to Mark, then Liz, and then Paul. Mark, take it away. Hey, Mark. Doing stuff. So my normal place for my second camera is occupied because I'm working from home still for the rest of this week. So just one second. Pretend my camera is switching. I'm pretending. To a project that has gone actually way better than I thought it would. My friends and me are always arguing about who takes the most time when we're playing board games, thinking about their turn and leads to constant fights. So I started putting together something basically as a turn timer, using parts that I just saw you guys showing off and ask an engineer. So you can select your number of players. You get to actually select which color every player is. Now that I've put four players, of course. And it gets all set. And then I'll show you the color of the player. It's kind of washed out on this. And a turn timer that then whenever you press the giant button, which is just the most fun in the world to press, it will switch player to player, showing their color and timing them. So you'll finally know who actually is taking the longest. That's cool. Which is very important. And what do they win? Breaking rights, I guess. I don't know, or not being the slowest. Yeah, they win the slowest competition. But the best part about this was big thanks to Dan for AsyncIO and CircuitPython. I've got two different displays plus all the input running. And before I've done similar things that I had to have my own timing loops and figuring this out with state of my end. This is what made this the code come together in about two days of just sort of half working on it. It works so well. That's cool. Awesome. All right. Well, thank you so much, Mark. You can use this for the show and tell guest, too. You can just have it in the corner. Yeah, time everyone. Yeah, I just have to finish the 3D case right now. It's really just a pile of wires behind there. So that's the next step. And then I'll set to actually find out who takes the longest. All right. Well, come back when you have it finished, too. I'd like to see it in its completed form. Will do. Thanks, Mark. Thanks, Mark. All right. We're going to go to Liz. And then we're going to wrap up with Paul. And I think Paul's going to be talking about exciting new podcasts I've heard about on the internet. Liz, take it away. Hey, how's it going? I've been wanting to play around with this rotary encoder that you folks have in the shop. So I just was kind of sketching around maybe like doing like a UI thing with a matrix. So right now I just have it. So press up whatever column. Can you move your hand up a little bit? Yeah. You want to see the cool ring. So when you turn the encoder, you get this line going and it goes back and forth. And then right now I have it. If you press up, then the selected column, you can get a new product in it. So it's like a little demo. Yeah. Just kind of sketching around with it, see what will come of it. But just want to start playing with that little spinny thing. Nice work. All right. Thank you so much, Liz. All right. And Paul, place out what you got going on. I launched the Circuit Python show, a new podcast. And the first episode dropped yesterday. Yay. It's got Itta Fruit's own Catney Rembore in the first episode. She talks about her journey through open source and mentoring and what goes into a learn guide. We had a great conversation. And coming up next week on Tuesday, I'll have Les Pounder of Tom's Hardware on. And we're going to talk about all kinds of different microcontroller boards. He's a big fan. He's got them all, by the way, like every microcontroller board, I think. Yeah. And in fact, I've got a picture that he took on the front page of CircuitPythonShow.com because he's got all the boards. You're not kidding. Yeah. Very cool. Tonight, we're going to go over the Python on hardware newsletter. I'm going to play the trailer, a little bit of overview of the podcast. What type of time length, because I know some people who download podcasts, they're like, oh, I go for a walk for half an hour or because, you know, obviously this one has people and it's an interview. How long do you normally do these? So I'm shooting for right around a half hour. They're coming in right around 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the conversation. We just kind of let it flow and we come in and we come out when we're done. Yeah, that's a good amount because I think so. It's exactly the right amount of time. I know there's like three and four hour podcasts.  That's like a full-time job. Yeah, but a half an hour. Half an hour is pretty good because usually if you're commuting or for some type of transit, like 20, 30 minutes. Yep. Take the dog for a walk. Exactly. I just want to give your eyes a break. I like to lie down and just listen to stuff.  And thank you for doing this. This is one of the things that folks had suggested. They're like, oh, I'd really like a Python on hardware podcast. It's like, you know what, we just can't. We do a show and tell. We have Ask Engine and we also happen to do Adafruit. And we also know that there is more people doing more things with Circuit Python than we ever imagined. There's more non-Adafruit boards out there than Adafruit boards. So thank you for doing this because it's something that people want to know. A lot of people listen to audio. I agree. Yeah. And this is, they wanted an interview style thing. Oh, I want to like hear more about the people behind the, you know, some of the code, some of the people that are doing projects, some of the people that are coming at it from different angles and stuff. So thanks for, thanks for doing this. I'm queued up on, I listened to podcasts. I download files and then I listened to it because I'm Perfect. Yeah, you know, and thanks for putting a real RSS feed up. And you have, I think, everything on every possible network. I tried. And one thing I needed to work on is get better transcripts. So that'll be coming in the near future. Yeah. I've tried a few, I've tried a few different things. I know that it's also on YouTube and YouTube does some automatic captions now. Yep. I do upload subtitles to YouTube. So that's another way to watch it as well. All right. Well, thank you so much, Paul. Looking forward to all the episodes and keep coming back. And if you have an overview or if you want to do a sneak peek or something. We'll do. We're here every single week. Awesome. Thank you. All right. Thanks so much, Paul. Hi, thanks, Paul. All right. That's our show until for the week this week. Thank you so much, everybody. We'll see you probably next week or it might be, you know, Pedro or JP will see how slam we are. But we do show until every single week as long as running show until for electronics in the world. I think this is even regular show until online video. This is what came along this thing. It's been like a decade. It's gone a long time. So we'll see everybody in just a few. And that's going to be here starts in just a few minutes. Oh, you know what I'll do? Oh, well, I'm just going to show a couple more pages. So this is the pop up guide to the wondrous world of personal computers. Oh, it's pop up. Yeah. And so I'm getting ready to do some photos on this. And you know, it's a little floppy. Yeah. And I'll just there's not that many pages, which is fine because this is a pretty intense pop up book as far as pop up books go. And then there's a lot of. Yeah, all the pieces are here. So that's kind of good. And then here's Peter. Here's Ram. So I'm here. You can see. And I think my favorite page is this one because it's it just pops up. Yeah. And this comes out too. And it came with a little. Yeah. And it also came with like a real floppy. I think that they went crazy with this like. Yeah. Removable floppy. And you can see. This is so global. Oh, and it's even like got a layer. Wow. They really went. Yes. Intense on the floppy disks. I think they were like, we're going to put somebody floppy in this. And this is kind of neat because it shows how things write to a screen. So. Oh, it's a little regal. Yeah. So it shows how it writes to a screen. And there's a computer monitor. And then here's a printer. That's something. So anyways, that's that's our show. That was a nice show in time. Yeah, we'll have some photos and more. And we're going to be writing about this. So it's a fun way to look at computers. From the past. Learn from them. Yeah. Okay. Onward to the future. See everybody next week. Bye.


Thank you for coming today. My name is Rachel. I am presenting on my research I did with at University of Oregon on diversity equity inclusion in the graduate level education. Originally this was called cultural competency in graduate programming. However, cultural competency I pretty much understand that to be your competent something but cultural competent like to understand cultural differences in academia is something that's continuous. So my presentation, oops, it's a basic outline about the methodology, the qualitative findings which led us to the qualitative how to form the questions, recommendations, and reflection on this project. So the methodology that we use I worked with another person, another my co-lead on this project. The program was at the University of Oregon. It is a program that prepares students for community regional planning, working with policy and general social services, and how this project started. There was students commented on how they felt unprepared to address inequities with marginalized underrepresented communities and they wanted to build those skills. And this was a project that we were commissioned to investigate this issue. And so we had implemented a Qualtrics Survey with 41 participants, quantitative interviews with 16, and then research and we provide a recommendations. So the qualitative findings was based around basically people wanting to learn about DEI or diversity equity inclusion in the program and through curriculum. They felt not as prepared and also the way to understand issues that impact and how to work with marginalized underrepresented communities. So based on our Qualtrics Survey, this is what we found about why is this important to your field, how well the curriculum is dealt with in the classroom, so facilitations, actual readings, examples, so forth, our case studies. If feeling prepared, I'm just going through this quickly because the limited time have an interest in taking these courses to better serve the communities. And if it should be a professional part of professional development or a standalone course. And so meaning professional development in this department, they have professional development class which teaches you how to do presentations, use like computer programs like Excel, Word, what else, and also like developing your resume and cover letter and this would be part of that curriculum for personal professional development and also or if it should be required course. So based on the comments that was given to the survey, a lot of the comments reflected that understanding like the lack of students feeling that the faculty is not as prepared to have these discussions because it's either their personal research or lived experience that this is something very important to talk about DEI issues in curriculum to help better prepare and also other the students own personal attitude if some people felt this was something that was valuable to them or not. So based on the qualitative data, the quantitative data, the Qualtrics Survey, we formed four questions about student buy-in like why does students support this DEI education to be implemented and how their positive experiences in the classroom, how they overall dealt with their experience and within the department and also input from students who took other classes and other departments or other like outside learning experiences and how that impacted them and how they felt about those experiences. So with classroom environment that the main issue that stood out from reading through analyzing the data and also noting what issues came up often was not all students were heard and especially students from marginalized underrepresented communities such as students of color, LBTGQ students and others were haven't was not put as equal weight or not equally respected as cisgendered white males that spoke up in the classroom and they were seen as more valid in talking about issues that pertain to the subject in this department that how equity and diversity is discussed within the classroom that it's either something very taboo and very people are nervous to talk about and also the importance of learning about history and critical race theory gender theory and so forth to help students become more effective agents of change or to participate within their future careers that students did not feel the conversations were well facilitated that often this is going to be brought up often in this presentation that white privilege is something a taboo subject to be talked about that students feel culturally emotionally taxed to bring up these discussions and explain those the experience of the marginalized community from their own personal perspective or personal lived experience and also how conversations are facilitated if faculty or staff is able to facilitate these conversations they'll have the knowledge to facilitate so based on these themes brought up in the Qualtrics survey and the qualitative interviews we're able to identify five main points that were brought up so students don't take courses to improve their skills even though they are important that this department that the department I was doing this research with that they do offer classes such as policy making that impacts immigrant communities gender issues so forth but they're not required and they're extracurricular they're not part of the curriculum and it's up to the students to take these classes that the student they have assumption from faculty to that students know everything that even concepts of diversity equity inclusion cultural competency that it's already assumed that the students already know about these subjects instead of students not being familiar and like reinforcing these concepts to them and also how these skills are taught outside the curriculum outside the department not within this department and also understanding from that students really feel passionate about learning about diversity equity inclusion how to advocate for marginalized underrepresented communities how to better understand or reach out to these communities so based on our findings we did research on these issues and how to better address them what what what research what resources are available at on the campus and also what other department other universities with similar programs are implementing currently so based on our research is we the four points that were brought up is bring building a culture of respect and equity that building that culture would look like through curriculum services that the department would provide increased diversity in the department meeting either staff graduate students graduate graduate teaching fellows and representation and cultural competency not only in the curriculum but also in the services that provide and also the importance of faculty action that faculty is leading this call and it's not all depending upon students so as I mentioned before faculty leading this charge that that's the top down approach to have it visit to have equity includes equity diversity inclusion to be physically shown through the department's vision statement mission so forth and so either on their website and advertisements for their programming so forth and also that the University of Oregon does have many programs to help faculty with being more inclusive in their curriculum or teaching style such as teaching efficiency program which helps faculty build on their skills to facilitate and educate within within issues on diversity equity inclusion so also increased department diversity either through hiring staff who faculty staff who has research dealing with issues that impact diverse communities underrepresented communities also representation of student workers when you talk about economic inequalities that does impact marginalized underrepresented communities and giving them the availability to help support and retain them as hired by the department and also showing that other schools within Oregon also has they provide scholarship for supporting research on DEI issues that there needs to be a professional development skill set for supporting faculty and develop and to help build these skills of teaching DEI also building the usage of theory within the classroom I'm sorry I'm just going through so I have enough time for questions and the faculty action is like to promote chemical thinking that many different theories like gent like critical race theory gender theory so forth will help students be able to be more efficient in DEI issues or working with marginalized communities and the recommendations based on our findings and I think I talked touched on it so before that there's resources on campus that help with teaching more efficiently and other schools also what what program they're implementing and also follow follow that lead and continue and start to implement those practices in their own program. So my own personal reflection in doing this project is the number of responses that from our Qualtrics survey to in person interviews had dropped more than half and how I would go about addressing that in future projects that reflect this project the demographics that we didn't take consideration of demographics based on race gender sex so forth because that could have better weighed out the information that we gathered and also the issue is like having everyone on board and understanding having a common understanding of what these terms are that every people everyone has different understanding what DEI what diversity equity inclusion and cultural competency is and stating like this is the definition that we're using in this project and having so we have that commonality understanding and also making sure the staff is receptive to this report or project because it might lead up to well it led up to defensiveness and like feeling like defensive because like this comes out as critical but it's not but the intention of like to make a more equitable program and department is coming from a place of what I consider love and concern instead of like a place a bad place and pretty much that was the gist of it and if there's any questions go ahead and ask.


started. How's everybody's day today? What's up guys? I'm gonna do some teal, some royal purple, which is beautiful, and some white. I'm trying to do a negative space tonight. She's gonna set up this so that we can read your comments. Did you guys check out our store with our stickers and shirts and stuff? Kind of excited about that. I just wonder how the quality is gonna be for like the shirts. Oh and I made socks. That's kind of cool because I put a banana pill on the bottom of the sock and hopefully it's gonna look awesome. I think it'll be cool. I think it'll be cool too. What up y'all? Oh yeah. So what's what? I always forget about this stuff. The big one is the two. Okay so if I put two ounces of this then I would put six ounces. Go up to six, right? Sorry, how many do you want total? I don't know how much I want total because I don't know how. Well that has to know how much you want total. Six ounces I guess. You think that's enough? I did nine ounces on that one. Is it a little smaller though? No. Aren't they both 16 by 20? I don't know, are they? This seems a bigger. Oh God it is. A jar of artist who resin is first out. Artist who doesn't do resin they just do the paints. But I can show you how big the paste is. It's this size and then you get a powder. I do three ounces of this and then get to the nine on that one. Did anybody get anything off our new store front? And then this is the powder so it's paste and powder. They're both 50 grams. Well this is 50 milliliters and this is 50 grams. I don't speak cocaine. I don't know like what that translates to. Tia I did get your email about your order and Austin it's here right now filling in all orders that we have all the colors for. I filled it quick. What's up Tamara? Hi Judy! Hello Judy. We're gonna do a nice little, I always basically think of royalty when I use royal but when teal and the royal purple and some white it's gonna be cool. Rachel when did you send that email? Judy we barely survived. I'm somewhere all over and everywhere. Oh that's awesome. You can watch it on Chromecast. That's bananas. Hi Sweet Pea. Hi beyond. Hi Happy Owl. Okay Rachel I will check it again today. Yeah if you sent it last week I haven't gotten through all of those yet. Rachel Donaldson. D-O-N-E-L-S-O-N. Jerry I got your email back. Janna we have not gotten fully rested yet. Just wait till we go Australia. Huh? We sent her a wrong color. Laura Moe is amazing. He's very hyped and excited to be home. Keisha is your email about your mystery box because we put that one together today. We thought we had sent it out but I can't find shipping number 4x so we're just gonna resend it. Really? Hi Charlie. Was it a mystery box? Like a long one? Keisha should have gone out on Friday. Thursday. What's today? Did he make a mystery box for her? It would have been the long skinny, the large priority mail flat rate. Keisha Austin said that he did send that out on Thursday so he has a tracking number for that. We'll also send that to you. Also also let me check on Debbie Causton's mystery box. Hi Jody. Rachel can you just resend that just to be sure. She had sticks but there's no mystery box for her. Keisha? I know she ordered it at because I had the payment. And also Terry Hartley but that's for our artist too. Terry. Ron's went out today.  It was bananas for sure. Terry I'm checking on your order. Trudy we are getting back in the swing of things. It always takes people a minute to recalibrate after being gone. The trip was absolutely amazing when it traded it for anything. Beyond I did send you an email. Check your spam because I sent that out before we left. Hi shy. What's up Lars? I hope you're feeling better. Tamara I did forget to do your invoice. I'll do that tonight. Thank you Laura Taylor to remind people of thumbs up. What's up happy y'all. Can you explain how to use one of those mixing cups with a ratio? I can explain it the eScience way which may not be the best way. This is a ratios cup it's got this colon is like I got translated to two so one to one, two to one to one, three to one to one. I don't use any of this because I'll mess it up. I just stick to this ratio. For most residents it's going to be a one to one. All the ones that I've ever used other than ultra cast has been one to one. So basically it means it's equal parts. So if you want say 11 ounces of resin that equals four. So you're going to fill four basically whatever you fill up on this side. You have to fill up on this side. So if you go to five with one part you have to go to five on the other part. If you have to three on one part you have to three on the other part and that will correlate to how many ounces. So if you do five and five that'll be 14 ounces four and four will be about 10 and a half ounces and so on. The resin he's using right now it's two to one. So he's doing nine ounces. So two to one equals three parts. So it would be six, the bigger half, no? Yeah. Well I put three of one of the one and then the part you're supposed to put two I went up to nine. So six and nine. Right. So of the two, like two to one of the two part we put it up to six and then the rest we filled to nine. I don't even know if that makes sense. I hope it makes sense. I got these off Amazon. They're linked in my Amazon affiliate link below. They're bananas and let me tell you my favorite part about them. The bottom is flat so it doesn't have that weird ridge that some of them have. What's up Terry? You know what I'm talking about that lip on the bottom is flat so you can most easily mix your parts thoroughly. Did I tell you that Mitch friended me? I forgot about that. Mitch Highberg? Oh Mitch. Oh Mitch. Okay. Yes Lisa we enjoyed our trip super much. I totally forgot. I was going to say what's up and I forgot to say hi. Okay so that's Keisha's. Let me just type in a number. D one of your orders went out today. Ready to do this guys. Cries and gals. I'm excited about my socks. Jeff designed some socks with a banana on the bottom of it. A banana peel on the bottom. One on the bottom and then one on the top so you kind of see it. Please see you got a package delivered on the 23rd that was probably however the painting that you ordered. If you're still asking me about that so we just need to send it. I'll just send it. If you can't find another shipping confirmation for it then I'll just send another one. Patty the thing about color session is I don't have those colors yet. And we may have different colors than what she has available on her website. So there's really no way to link her website and my website so you'll have to reorder everything from my website. Unfortunately however you won't have to pay international shipping so that's cool. What's up Elaine? Your stuff is so thin. Have you checked out my email to text you to First Bank? Kelly we have. We're trying to figure out a way to expand our Australia trip. But I don't know that that's entirely possible. We're still working on it. Right now it looks like we're going to be just limited to one coast but we're still working on it. However we would love to but then again it's just so tough being away for so long. Andrea the stickers and shirts and things aren't really through our website. They're through Teespring's website but the link is in the description box. Can I have some over here? Of course. Thanks Austin. Your resin cups haven't been coming clean. A lot of people will turn them upside down. I just put my whole hand in on what it was. I thought that was an old one. They'll turn them upside down to let all of the resin seep out but sometimes that won't. Thank you. Not everything will come all the way out and you'll end up with beads and resin in the side like this. You can see all these little beads. What? So what we do is we'll put our mixing stick flush on the side and then when we pull this out the next day it usually takes all of the dry resin with it. I've also heard that you can soak, yeah just by the other keys at the door. You can soak vinegar in that or... Can you guys hear me okay? Thanks Ideas. I'll put all the tracking numbers in to not eat it on the backboard. Okay. Awesome. Thanks Austin. Is he leaving? Yeah. Okay. See you later bud. Judy that's an awesome tip. Chris Cross said if it's kind of cool heat your canvas with a hair dryer before you do the resin so it doesn't shock and gel up. Zoom you got it in. Tattoo on a girl's leg at a banana. I wanted to take a picture but you don't want to be like weird about it but I love that. We're going to Perth in Australia the first week of October. We're going to do a class with you resin and it's going to be amazing. And we're excited about it.  I didn't think it would be that difficult of a color challenge. Ideas if we've ever done a pour with pastel color. Someone has to do one and she's not turning out. The thing about pastel colors is they're so soft. They're not going to leave like a dramatic. This is so fun this edge. Maybe we'll do a pastel pour tomorrow. What colors are you working with Petty? Well the problem with doing pastels is you probably want to try to do like a negative space because there's nothing that ties it together. If I didn't put this dark in here there's no contrast maybe? I don't know. So the color she's using is teal by Artisou which I'm back ordered on so hopefully it will be in soon. I asked her today about that and she's still waiting on board from her manufacturer in Australia. Royal purple powder by Artisou. No white pigment paste also by Artisou. Because it should already be like color steel and all that from it being art resin. I don't see a problem with that at all. That is fun. Now can you send me an email with your order number or your actual name so I can check on that? We had our interns processing them while we were gone and busy but shoot me an email with an artist till death but I'm going to write a note. I like this. June 1. Give me those bananas please and thank you. Thank you Rod for sending these out Ron. You're welcome. Copper and gold to make rose gold noted. A1 you're looking for the colors we used in the witch countertile video. Ellen we have a computer assistant coming in tonight to help us with setting up our new camera because... Who? Bradley. He's coming over tonight. I told you that. I totally forgot about that.  I'm going to do this like this. Let's take you guys down and see this piece. Dirty bananas. I would really like to go see Room 5 and actually see them. There's so many songs that I like from them. What's the first one you've done in a while that didn't have a metallic in it? That teal is metallic. Oh yeah I can see it now in some parts. Yeah a friend of ours that knows techie things is coming in tonight to help out our issues with our camera. Yes I have the Belief Pours. Pink, green, orange, yellow, peachy color. Alright Patty I will check those out for tomorrow. How hot does Jeff have the heat gun on? I'm always nervous about scorching. You have to keep the heat gun moving when you use the heat gun on the temperature that Jeff uses. Use it on like all the way hot. Yeah I turn it up all the way. Hi Lucy. Rod the rule of thumb is 10% color to resin. Deborah I saw your email as well and I thought I responded to yours. If not it's open and I just started filming right when I was responding to your email. Thumpa how did it turn out?  Susan the heat gun that we use is listed in the Amazon link down below. I wouldn't have too much heat. I know I'm just, there's a bubble here. Happy Chick says you guys can just come up to Louisville, Kentucky for a Room 5 concert in September 22nd. Goodbye. Thank you Carrie. I'm sorry I'm not feeling well Tamara. Judy it is weird. I'm hearing Dallas right now. I'm glad you're here Lucy.  Zamp? We love that piece. I really like this piece. This is so, I love it. You're interested in it? She is for sale. What do we say? Special? Unspecial? It's very subtle. I really like it. It's like you did the boy version to mine. Oh my gosh. That's so funny. They go so well together. Which one's from? She inspired me last night so I thought I'm going to do one like hers. I just don't know if I like those. Put it in here. Mine is fine. He needs to move. He's going to get it. Does it come out of there? Yeah. No. Baby move. So this is one of the fours from... It is all because of that. Oh yeah. Where's that painting at with the stick on it? Your pecan? I'm a pecan. Is it? Yeah. I forgot about that. But they wanted to see the boldiest pieces. Oh God. Mine didn't turn out too well. I think I just want to paint the sand. Maybe do some. This is my ocean pour with believe sand. Excuse me. It's fun. It's not a very big pour. It's my first time trying to use sand in a pour. This is mine. It looks like mine got sick. It's so bad. I like the colors but... I wonder if I could just take some tan and paint it on here. It looks like sand. See why not. Thanks y'all. Oh Lars. Thanks for that. Thanks man. Welcome back Sippy. Cheers to Lars. And then Jeff did this one which I happen to like. Yeah I just need the top coat. I just need the top coat y'all. It does look like a map right? I just need the top coat over that. Do we have any left over resin for my feet? So I need to pick out one more color. No I don't. You want to take over this or the dance? I always prefer the dance. Where's mine? Right here. Where's my this? I don't understand. I don't even know where that pour is. Where's my pour that I did last night? I totally forgot about that. I don't know. We looked at it today. I don't know where it is. No idea guys. Oh here it is. It's flat as glass. Kind of different. It would be a good layer for a geo I think. One little imperfection. Kujo what are you doing? You want to say hi to the people? Come here. Let's read for the people Kujo. What do you want to read? All right. You said Diane said your court should arrive by Wednesday for her torch. Oh my god there's so many. Why is it so backed up? I'm just going to fall all the way to the front. Sorry guys. Okay you can have the torch. I took mine to the patio today. I'm like I ain't using that inside. Yeah never too cautious. Take it outside. Hey Rockin LC arts. Hey Carol B. I just did a pour with some with royal purple. Some teal and some white. Kind of negative space. I loved it. I'm losing that. I went over there to close the window. What color is that? That's sugar isn't it? You can smell it. Yeah sugar. Thanks for that tip Lars. Here's to you. Yeah thanks Lars. All right. He's just chilling looking at us. He's so cute yeah. You just breathing hard over here boo. I'd sit him up on that little stool but he'd keep it for a gallon. No he wouldn't want to get down. Yeah. We need to order more rhythm. Are you keeping up with us? They're like talking amongst each other's. All right. You do point the camera a bit more down. Oh yeah. Hi Jackie. We did sell Belvedere. He sold when we had our class. Belvedere come heal boy. One of our students bought him. Like that was so awesome like we had him come back to the studio and they started buying artwork. Which was unexpected. Thank you shy. Thank you Diane. I'll send it all with the return label. Did Austin pack up any sticks? Huh? Did he pack up any sticks orders? I love Kathleen. I don't know what he packed up. I know he sent out Barbara S's. Dallin's and. I was wondering if anyone saw. I listened to Cole's portion today. Could the fam help her? It touched my heart. I'm going to send it to Alicia Cole's. Alicia Nicole's post today. Eva where did her post go? Is it in the ATD group one? Shelly I have watched Kathy Lane. I haven't done a layered resin pour. Like she does. I don't know that I have that kind of patience but. I will try to attend one. Kathy Lane's bananas. She does great. I got all the letters. I got all my letters to. I'll check it in the group and see what's up. To make artists till death.com. You know like to put on the. I think I want to put it on the gallery wall. And this is the H. No, this is the T. It's a little wooden box. So you have to open it to see it. He's in there. I'm going to make it sideways. I thought about maybe. You guys are correct. Most of the time. About 80% of the time we just leave the sides. Unless somebody requested. Huh? Unless somebody requests us to. Paint the sides. We'll just leave them. Because it just. I feel like if you paint them. It looks like. Like it's just a. How do you say that like. It'll look like a print. Yeah, it'll look like a print. You know. Like you're trying to cover something up. Because. The texture of the resin as well. Hi, I'm Jeff. I ordered my mystery box June 11. How long does it take to get. It was. It was a $50 mystery box. Lori, we will look that up. Is it under this name. Yeah. My husband and I decided to get. Right at the kitchen table so we. In our space. In our basement. Lighting. Any recommendation. Good lighting. We use. Most of the time we just use the. The sunlight. During the day. But I guess you in your basement. Dan, these are the sizes. Of the jars. In the orders there. 50 milliliters and. Is that the right. And 50 grams. No word yet. On when some of the colors are coming in. I'm still back ordered on a lot of them. Unfortunately. But I should be getting in the color obsession. Order. Should be by the end of the month. And. That should make up for the difference. And not having the teals and things like that. So I can send you. So you can order from both artists and color obsession. And get a better variety of colors. Her order. That makes sense. I hope that makes sense. Larg said we're never we're never old. We're just a bit polished. I like that.  A little bit better. That's what I like to say a little bit better. If you want to read from over here. It might be easier. I don't understand. I mean it's right here. I feel like they can probably hear me a little better. If I'm over here. But that is also why I think. Send E and Jeff cash. People need acknowledgement. Yeah, the daylight bulbs. No, they're they're a little different. I believe. I'm not sure. But you can also use LED as well. That's what we have in here. This big light that we have as an LED. We don't mind getting acknowledgement. We just want to. How did you fix your sound? We just plugged the mic right into the. Her phone. We have this mic. Our. Our friend Diane sent us a little mic. It's still not ideal. But it's better than it. Was. And that that was our fix. We got a new wire. And we like to acknowledge people when they send us something. It's. Sometimes we miss it. But when we use it. We're very thankful for everything. So we acknowledge. Everything that we see. We appreciate that shy. Yeah, sometimes we just don't. We don't see a comment. Or see everybody's. Questions or answers or. You know, we get. Skip because it's typing. Like people are talking up. Pretty fast. And we do. We trust the people in this room. That they answer it correctly. And with what their knowledge is. And. With the mods help us with. Yeah, that's what the mods help us with too as well. By the way, mods were. Special shirts. Yeah, we're going to make you mods and special shirts. Troll patrol shirts. Troll patrol. ATD fan. So this piece I'm using. Peruvian sea, which is a color I have in stock right now. It's pretty banana. It looks good on white. Let's see what it looks like on white. Can you guys see that? It's a nice color. Not too washed out. It's a nice color. I love the stick I just did. It's going to look nice. Maybe they were going to somebody's. Mystery box. Yeah, the other day when. Michael's was having that 70% off sale. It might be still going on. I think it is till the 30th, I think they said. He went and got a whole bunch of neat things to put in the mystery boxes. Yes, you guys are going to love them. And since we have so many on order right now. Look how pretty this color is. My shirt and sticker today. Awesome. Marcy, which one did you get? I'm excited to know. Oh yeah, that's going to look great. I love how deep that color is too. It's a great feel. Good luck with that. Starting up with that art again. You've got to keep that in your life. Sexy gold. ATD's pose. And it breaks my heart as this reason I do resin art as well. Luckily I can afford it. Maybe heaps can help out with any advice on selling some of her artwork. She did put it on ATD pose. What did it say? I guess she can't afford to. Art anymore? Art. She can't afford supplies. What did Robin? What was Robin asking? Oh, Marcy about the banana sticker and the poor shirt with the sign. The caution sign. I love the caution banana sign. Yeah, that's going to be awesome. I will either. When we get off here, we'll take a look at her pose. In a second, Craig, I'll show you what we offer for the Mr. Voxes. We like to tell people if you're an artist, let us know if you're not so we don't send you art supplies. Then you just get random stuff from our studio. Maybe a painting, maybe some paint, maybe a used taco. Who knows? A used taco. You can kind of see the small 25, 50 and 100. Also this you guys didn't know. We just sent out the countries where the stir sticks are available in UK, Canada, Australia. Find them at ArtistofDev.com. Check them out. Check them out. Look at that. He's trying to show me up. They might want to zoom in on me. Oh, really? Lisa's pose says she was doing resin art as therapy for her depression. We can't afford it anymore. She's having trouble selling her art. Trace of color. You have a tendency to cover E when she's doing her piece. That was just then. I'm not like trying to cover up so you guys can't see it. Look how it just glides over itself. That's so crazy where that clear is. That's fun. You see those cells? That's fun. Whoa. That's a little fast. Sorry for the wobble, guys. I'm going to make sure this is on here. Sorry. Ow, babe. She's on a roll, kids. She's on a roll. Supercells. Love that. Keyshaft says. I wish they could see the depth in this part right here, but I know that it's not going to come through. See, you know what, guys, what it is? It's just put a lot of color in the same area. Do a little bit of heat. Blow it around and just leave it. And man, it just looks so amazing. Look at that. There's cells inside of cells. You want to put some bananas? Maybe just do an all-gold banana. Destroyed my spread. I forgot that that was a thing. I'm sorry. She did it on purpose. Great.  Let's try something like this. Oh, no. This thing is really not very sturdy, is it? Oh, those are nice. That's a pretty color. That's a great color, babe. Good color. Good color-choicing. Regular. I'm hoping to make one more magic just with this right here. Misty, I sent out your mystery box today and I put some things in it. Some of these old guys that it keeps making. It's such a great way to utilize your left-over resin. But you guys got to remember if you do this, you got to put heat on them or the bubbles will make them look terrible. I found that out the hard way. Don't add too much heat. Yeah, you can just go over it with the heat gun and it'll pop those bubbles. Boom, babe, we can have whoever gets the Gold Bananas, too. All Gold Banana Contest. That'll be fun. All right, sorry guys, I'll come back to reading. Brandon resin is this. How quickly does it cure? That is from T YT YTJ and Dallas. We're in Dallas. YT? No, YT. We're using Ultracast and it takes about an hour and 30 minutes for it to just start setting up. But when it does set up, it's beautiful. It's like glass. It's initially set. It requests a green and green and green please. Green greens. Those are awesome. Look at those coasters, y'all. Look at her. She's just doing her thing. Boom. Sorry if that was loud, guys. The most portivist one. Put a little bit more in that. I'm not done. That's how much to do a two car garage floor. What? We don't do floors yet, Diane. That's a whole can of worms that we haven't opened up yet. We're going to do Judy's as a test. We've been studying. Judy's poor house when she goes out of town. For Thanksgiving. My message not being seen. It was just seen. Did you say something? Sorry, Debbie. What material or medium do you use for your coasters? These are little cardboard. They're not cardboard. It's like compressed compressed paper. Compressed paper. They use them in bars. They're very very light, very thin. They do rip. But they're perfect for this resin because the resin doesn't work at all. And you can get them. Are they posted in the list below? Yep. They're posted on our Amazon. So down in the description box down below. Could he eat on those bananas? I just did. Somebody's going to get a gold banana and we're going to figure out what we're going to do with it one day. The $25 mystery box. Who knows? Mystery box and we can throw them in with a painting. We can throw in these little guys. Question. Marcy asks Hold on a second. Marcy, let me go back. Is Valspar spray paint metallic silver as a base for canvas going to give me dimples in resin? Doesn't save as gloss or gloss. Yeah, I know that Valspar paint is strange. It's always funny when somebody sells something exclusively. I feel like it's funny to me. I think Lowe's only sells that. When you do anything metallic you risk having dimples. Just make sure you use a lot of resin. And if you do get dimples, just let it dry a day or two. Go over it with like a 400 and in the dimple area and then just do a heavy overcoat over it. Jill, I just recent the email. I don't get it. Something weird might be going on with my Gmail. Something weird might be going on with our email. That has happened before. Why are wrapping with beads? It's pain in the butt, but pick the right beads for each of our. I don't know. Jeff, what Alisa said is that the money from selling your artwork is going to the food for her kids. So no more art supplies. Okay. We'll go check it out. See what we can do.  A spray paint? Oh, yes. Any matte black that I've gotten there would be fine, I think. YT Maybe put your molds in a little bit on low heat, like 100 or 110. I don't know. Why would you do that? You get the bubbles out. Well, that, the vehicle works. You just don't sit there and let it. Sorry about that, Debbie. Get him shy. Thank you, Gloria. Thanks, Chai. All right, you guys. I'm getting on my list of people to contact tonight and check on orders. If you can, I'm not sure how much you can check on that. How many lights on the Geo? I put two strings of lights, but I don't know how many lights were on each string. Thank you, Lucy. I found at Brookstone, is that what that's called? Brookstone? A 30 or 15 foot light set. Maybe we should go get some of those so you can do a bigger Geo like that. Cindy, I can do that. I will check on your email trace of color. Yes, you're on my list of orders to check on. Yeah, Montana Blackout is amazing. Crystal, I have not checked the email since Lucy, I have these colors on the site. They are gold metallic pigments, Korean sea pigments, and snow white epoxy pigments. And the colors are used to have a difference when making a sound. Can you unplug? No sound. How is that impossible? You guys hear that? Sounds on. It's just good for me. That's so weird. Sound is on. Alright, just hold it. Alright, can you just now? Oh my gosh. How about right now? Sound? All sound is gone. God, even now there's sound. One. What does that say? Still nothing? Is it back? Can anybody hear me? Okay. It's back. Alright guys, I'll check on the list. That's so weird. Lift what? Lift it? Oh, I see. You're like not giving me any direction, babe. You gotta move your pretty head. Well, I'm serious. You have to move now. You should be getting in color in session. Hopefully, by the end of the month, it should have been by the end of the month already. So that'll be at ArtistHolid.com. We also have new merchandise. I have the link set up in the description box. T-shirts, stickers, mugs, coats, things like that. And socks. Still designing them, so we don't have them all already, but we're working on it. If you're interested in a piece of artwork, please send us an email as well. I will respond to all emails tonight and tomorrow morning. So you should be getting a response. If you haven't, make sure you send it to the right email address. Double check the spelling. Please and thank you. Diane, doing a floor is different than a bar top because you have to prep it differently depending on what kind of floor it is. Come here. He's getting off. That's what she started saying. Certain things that she knows she's an indie. That's so cute. So make a set on the socks for our hands and our feet. Both. There are four feet. Well, the socks have bananas on the bottom. Jackie R. Venho is at ArtistHolid F. 2T is 2L. Let me get out of your way. Diane, the floor feet. They have to be a little bit different. A floor is different because cement and concrete will sweat. So you have to prep it and seal it a certain way. And I would want Judy's floor cements for concrete. So we're going to figure out how to do hers before we do any big jobs because she's just doing a floor house which isn't as big as a garage. So we're going to do that before we start working on any actual really big floors. Hi Lisa. I'm going to go out because he's getting super iPhone-y right now as you can tell. And I will see all of you guys many on that. Don't forget to send me an email if you have any questions. Venho is ArtistHolidF.com 2T is 2L and email is ArtistHolidF.com 2T is 2L. So I haven't gotten a confirmation from my I something what was I doing? Taking him out. Famous to Canada. I have to make sure with my distributor for the sticks if they are willing to be the distributor for Famous as well. So I'm working on that. Anyways, I'll see all of you lovelies tomorrow and don't forget that you can join ArtistHolidF Facebook group ATEs for people and we'll see you guys out many on that. Love all of our poor people.
