Well, I get the honor and privilege of introducing our next speaker, John Carlin, who's the Assistant Attorney General for National Security. He runs the National Security Division, which is about 350 federal employees who basically are responsible for prosecuting cases of terrorism, espionage, cyber issues, and national security in general. Previously, he was Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel to FBI Director Robert Mueller.  So John, what is the role of the National Security Division when it comes to cyber? Well, thanks, Peter. So the National Security Division is the first new litigating division at the Department of Justice in about 50 years, and relatively new. We were founded in 2006. It was one of the reforms from post-911, and the recommendation was relatively simple. Prior to its existence at the Department of Justice, spy cases, terrorism cases, applications for intelligence before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and cyber cases all reported through different chains at the Department of Justice. So the idea was to set up a one-stop shop at the Department of Justice that would be, have the sole responsibility for the national security portfolio, and thus be a bridge to the intelligence community and law enforcement. And in particular, one of the founding reasons for our creation was to tear down the wall that had existed prior to 9-11, both legally and culturally, between law enforcement and national security. And based on the fact that we were so, formed so much in response to 9-11 and terrorist events, in our beginning we really focused on the terrorism portfolio, but with time it became clear that the national security cyber threat was growing, both a threat that's here in terms of the theft of our economic information by nation-state actors and the gathering of intelligence, and the growing threat of the future, which would be to use a cyber-enabled attack for destructive means by a nation-state or a terrorist group. So starting in 2012, we really started to try to apply the lessons we had learned in terrorism to the cyberspace, and that meant engaging and developing in every U.S. attorney's office across the country, so 93, 94 offices, specially trained prosecutors who were trained on the one hand to handle the bits, the bites, and the particularities of electronic evidence that are in cyber cases, and on the other hand, how to handle classified sources and methods, and to learn the patterns and practices and the intelligence about terrorist groups and nation-states. That network is called the National Security Cyber Specialist Network, and we administer it through the National Security Division, and as part of it we make sure we have our criminal colleagues, because at the beginning of a cyber case it can be very difficult to determine who the actor is. That approach and change in 2012, I think simultaneously the FBI put out an edict to the field that said we're going to start sharing what we're formally on the intelligence side of our house with these new specially trained prosecutors just like we do in terrorism cases, and we're going to use this new approach to make sure we're bringing all tools to the fight against those who would harm our nation through cyber-enabled means. It was a direct result of that approach that led to the first-ever indictment of state actors in the case against the five PLA officers in the spring of last year. I think last year was really a significant sea change where you saw the results of this new approach, and I think it also led to the ability to very, very quickly have attribution in the case of the Sony hack, which we were able to, from the beginning, treat as a national security matter. So you mentioned the cases against the five People's Liberation Army officers that you pursued. I mean, do you think that's going to be an effective approach with China? To what extent is it possible you'd have these guys would ever get inside an American courtroom? So I think it was a necessary change in approach. We got really, really good as a community when I was overworking for Director Mueller, the FBI, and the rest of the intelligence community vastly improved their game at being able to watch what our nation-state adversaries were doing to our system and see the amount of information that was being exfiltrated daily from our private systems. But with that increased ability to watch came an increased obligation to act. We can't just watch this data going out. We need to do something. Part of that approach, I think just like in the terrorism arena, and we use this phrase often in terrorism cases, is the all-tools approach, meaning we got to look at the threat actor. What are they doing? In this case, they're stealing from American companies for the economic benefit of their companies. How can we increase the cost using every lever of American power? So at the end of the day, they say, it's not worth this approach. We're going to stop stealing day in and day out what American ingenuity is producing. Instead, we're going to compete fairly. So in order to do that, that means we effectively decriminalized it because we weren't before looking to make these cases. That means applying the resources to look and if the facts and the evidence lead to a criminal group in the U.S. if they lead to a criminal group in Europe or if they happen to lead to nation-state actors in China, we're going to follow it and bring charges where appropriate. But it also means looking, as you saw in the Sony case, can we do sanctions through the Treasury Department? Can you designate certain entities based on their conduct through the Commerce Department? Can you use the levers of diplomatic power through the State Department? So looking across the spectrum of U.S. levers of power and then gradually increasing the cost to make it clear there are consequences. And when it comes to these cyber events, number one, I think for too long people assumed that you can be anonymous. We won't find out who you are. We've proven that is not the case. We can find out who you are and who did it. And number two, when we do, there are going to be consequences. There was very quick attribution on the Sony hack. Do you expect indictments to come? So I'll just say this, that we continue to investigate it as a criminal case. And I think with each one of these national security-related intrusions, we're going to be looking to do as we did in PLA and see whether one of the tools we can bring to the table would be a criminal charge. These five Chinese PLA officers, if they left China, would they be arrested by Interpol or by some sort of other entity? Well, I won't talk specifically about what we do, but I'd say it's a charged criminal case. And we very much hope to bring them to a United States courtroom, whether it be a courted all-do process under the law and tried as we have other individuals. Are they subject to a red notice or whatever? You're a Paul Interpol, these kinds of entities. So I'm not going to discuss the specifics as how we might try to bring them to a US courtroom, although we have asked the Chinese government to provide them. But backing up a little bit on this approach, and you're someone who's followed this a long time, but in the beginning when we were doing our non-proliferation approach, and so one of the tools we brought to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was the prosecution of export-related cases that violated the proliferation regime. And in the beginning, I think some in China and others thought that this was a proxy for a trade war with them, that we weren't really serious about the proliferation problem, but we were using it for economic reasons. Over time, they realized, no, we really want to stop the weapons of mass destruction from getting into the hands of terrorists in rogue states, and have realized that's why we're using the criminal tool in that arena. And we've had countless cases of individuals arrested overseas, extradited and brought to face justice in the United States courtroom for export control and proliferation cases. And similarly with narcotics kingpins in the beginning, folks asked, well, why would you bring a criminal charge against someone who's protected by their home country because they're the head of a cartel? And over time, it's taken a long time in some cases, but we've brought those heads of cartels and they're sitting in US, in US jail. So it's an approach that's been used on other threats. It will not solve the problem, the criminal justice system. It will not solve the nation state national security problem, but it needs to be a tool in our arsenal. Would you consider criminal charges against people who are kind of proliferating ISIS social media sites or involved in ISIS's social media production? Yes. I think you've seen, you need to look at the particular facts and evidence, and that brings up a broader point, the use of the material support statute. So this would be when there's a designated terrorist group and you're providing your services to that terrorist group, either by providing them actual material, money, technical expertise, or yourself, that these are cases we have and will charge under our criminal justice system. And that approach, I think you saw in 2012, about 27 countries were part of the Global Countering Terrorist Forum, or GCTF, and produced something called the Robot Memorandum of Best Practices. What type of legal code should be on the books to enable you to bring criminal charges before someone commits a terrorist act? And what I think you've seen since then is the adoption by nearly over 20 countries of new criminal codes to address this type of conduct, some modeled after our material support approach. And you saw this fall, unprecedented, unanimous approach at the United Nations of both through the Security Council and that same global counterterrorism forum group, talked specifically about the problem of foreign terrorist fighters, how it's international, there are over 90 countries that have contributed foreign terrorist fighters to the Syria-Iraq region, and that part of the approach to stopping that problem, similar to the All Tools approach, would be making sure that nations have on their books, now they're required to have on their books, statutes so that they could take criminal action to prevent citizens from their country from joining that fight before they become the terrorists. So ISIS is using social media to recruit, but it's also a huge advantage for people in the Justice Department, because they can completely legally monitor Twitter and Facebook. And we've had quite a lot of cases in this country of Americans who've tried to join ISIS, been stopped at the airport. To what extent is social media a good thing or a bad thing for you? That's it. So pulling it even further back, I mean, social media is here and it's been an enormous boon to the American economy. It's a change in technology that has many advantages to the world and can be used for many positive expressive intent. It is also a presents a new challenge to those who want to combat the terrorism threat. It's essentially a free form of communication that you can use to plot and plan. This is something that people would invest billions of dollars to come up with a communication system this fast and sometimes this secure for their armies. Now we provide it essentially for free. It's a new way to propagandize and reach individuals in a very targeted fashion in their home. The ability to produce slick propaganda is cheap and widely available. So it presents a new threat. There are some intelligence collection opportunities that come from that threat. But I'd say it's one that we're and you saw this in the recent events now that in meeting with my counterparts, ministers of interior from France, Germany, the UK, Bania, Kosovo, Australia, Canada, that as nation states, we're still learning how to confront this new threat. What's the best way to counter the use of social media in particular for this targeted type of recruiting? The private sector owns much of the infrastructure in this country, the cyber infrastructure. What's the responsibility of the private sector for... Let me just take Twitter for instance, which has actually been quite slow when it comes to taking down content from ISIS and other groups like this, which of course is against their terms of use. So what role should a Twitter or a Facebook or Havin really being careful about the kind of content that's going up? We've talked about two issues. The cyber security, so much of what we value now we store in cyber space and so we need to worry about it being stolen or destroyed in that space, social media for the purposes of propaganda or communicating. I think in both instances, these are areas where we really need public private sector cooperation, particularly when we talk about our critical infrastructure. It's pretty much all in state or private hands. And so in order to effectively defend the American people from threat, we need to work with companies so they improve their defenses. But we also need to work at ways in which they can effectively share information to the government so we can coordinate and put out threats that cut across sectors. And also we need to be able to share information that we have collected as a government to them to best enable them to protect themselves. I think we've made enormous strides in this area, but given the scope and scale of the threat as the 9-11 Commission report put it out earlier this summer then in some respects, we're in a pre-9-11 moment given the threats we can see coming to the cyber infrastructure. And so although we've made progress, we still need to do more and faster to meet this threat. And when you say we're in a pre-9-11 moment, what do you mean? So I think in some respects, the terrorist groups have the intent to cause the maximum amount of harm that they can against our critical infrastructure and they define it broadly against things that people associate with the West or with America and would cause damage here. So back in 2012, you had Zawa Hiri formally, publicly call upon jihadists to and take these types of attacks. And since then you've had numerous groups issue similar calls. So we know what they want to do. We've seen a pattern and practiced in the past of these terrorist groups announcing what it is that they want to do and then doing it and attempting to do it. So that means as a country before that devastating attack occurs, we need to put the attention, resources, statutory changes into place. So hopefully we never reach the moment where that catastrophic attack has occurred. And then we're suddenly putting in a variety of new procedures. You know, on 9 11, Al Qaeda have both the intent and the capability. The question is, we know, I'm sure these groups have this intention, but I mean cyber terrorism so far is really being in the area of cyber nuisance rather than national security problem. So I think it's characterizing a couple different ways. One, I don't think they have the capability to do the type of destructive attack that they've talked about, or they would have done it because they have the intent and there's really no barrier to entry. You have seen some destructive cyber attacks. You saw the attack against Saudi Aramco, where they essentially turned in oil companies, computers into bricks. You saw the Sony attack, which wasn't done for economic advantage or intelligence gain, but was done to destroy and coerce. And the damage that nation states in particular doing by stealing our economic information day in, day out, not for strategic purposes, but to use it in direct competition where their companies is real. I agree, though, that we haven't seen the kind of sophisticated nation state capability make its way into the hands of a terrorist group. But that's a matter of time. And when you look at the criminal groups, I'll use one example, great criminal case that was taken down last spring game over Zeus. It was a botnet that was composed of thousands and thousands of computers all across the year. A botnet is just a term for essentially an internet of compromised computers. So they've gone into people's computers and they use a vulnerability to take control of your computer and use it for their purposes. And that can be used to launch attacks like a denial of service attack, but it can also be used as it was by this criminal group. They used a type of code called Cryptolocker. And what they would do is they'd encrypt people's computers and they were doing it for profit. So they would blackmail you and say, if you ever want to see your data again, and for all of you in your different fields, I'm sure there's so much that you value on your computer that you need to pay us money. Well, if a terrorist group gets access to that type of botnet, they could use it to block people's access to health information or try to keep people out of the financial sector and they're not going to offer a payment to set it loose. They're just going to cause the massive amount of destruction as they can. So it doesn't take too much imagination to you and some of those botnets are for rent. So even without having the in-house capability as a terrorist group, you can see how over the horizon this is a capability they're going to develop. And what about states that are sort of quasi-criminal enterprises like North Korea or terrorist groups which are proxies for states like Hezbollah? I think we need to look at the particularly sophisticated nation-states like Russia and China and see what we can do to deter their activity and pay particular attention to the North Korea and the Iran's who might launch destructive attacks. And part of that approach has to be proving that it's not cost-free because we can do attribution, we can determine who you are behind that keyboard, which is why that PLA case was important and why the attribution to North Korea was important. And then we also need to show that after we do that we're not afraid to publicly say what we've found. So you won't be hiding in the world stage. And third, that there will be consequences for that type of activity. But it's a threat that I'm very concerned about. One final question before throwing it open to everybody in the audience. What is the sort of international legal framework that exists or should exist for that would prevent, that would sort of be employed for a future Sony? I mean, I understand there's an American law, but is there enough international law to prevent this going forward, at least make it harder for states like Iran or others to do a Saudi or Ramco attack? So I think we need to continue to work both on norms in this area, which is relatively new, although some of the activity that takes place, I think, clearly violates already established international norms. But secondly, to make sure we develop the partnerships and capability, the same way we do with the traditional terrorist threat, for instance, with our partner nation-state. So that means getting prosecutors, getting FBI agents, getting experts from the Department of Homeland Security out to meet, train, familiarize themselves with their counterparts. It's a fundamentally international threat. And even when your threat actor is in one place, the tools that they're using to launch the attack may come from another country's infrastructure. So just like here in the United States, we need to work with places like universities who have a lot of bandwidth and server space so that they're attempting target for criminal groups or bad actors who want to use that space not necessarily to steal something from the university, but to launch attacks against others. We also need to have that same concern with certain other partner countries, work with them so that we can take action when other people are trying to maliciously use their infrastructure. And you're seeing this new approach. Some of those cases, like the Botnet case I was talking about, involved coordinated action by public and private sector partners throughout the world, 30, 40 different companies and countries taking simultaneous action to disrupt these threats. That's got to be the model moving forward. Thank you. If you have a question raise your hand, wait for the mic and identify yourself. Thank you. Hi, it's John Tio here from the Australian Financial Review. I'm just interested in relation to the terrorist propaganda that we see in social media or on websites. The internet service providers and social media companies taking those down and deleting them or with the security agencies and law enforcement agencies here in the US like to see them do that more, remove some of those insightful postings or inciting postings. So I think there was a call, one with the Attorney General to Paris after the attacks there when we met with the interior ministers and many of our partner nations. And from that meeting there was a call that was echoed again when 60 countries were in town last week. And we need to find a way where we can work with internet service providers to obtain the information that law enforcement intelligence services need to prevent terrorist attacks before they occur. And at the same time, we need to do that in a way that's protective of the civil rights and civil liberties of the many users who are using these systems for innocent purposes. And I think that's a balance that we can obtain. And it's something that there's great interest, not just in the United States, but with partner countries across the world to make sure that we find that proper balance. The other thing we need to do, which is not my expertise, is someone who focuses more on finding who did it and holding them accountable, but is to figure out the best way to counter message so when you're competing for those who are getting propagandized by these very targeted social media campaigns. How do you reach that audience in a way to explain what is a war of ideas we ought to be able to win? Why a ideology that's based on enslaving other individuals, killing children and innocent civilians and is fundamentally nihilistic is one that you shouldn't join. And so that's where we also need the creativity of those who are experts in this space and the private sector married up, particularly with our partner countries in the Middle East on making sure both that you have that message and that you figure out a way to reach those most at risk of being targeted for propaganda and recruitment. Great. Another question? Over here, this gentleman. Can you wait for the mic? My name's Harbour Shikoff and I'm with American Bar Association. John, thank you for your service. It's been wonderful to be involved in the government. My question is, you know, is that there's a lot of legislation on the Hill and from the private sector perspective, the issue for sharing information to help the government concerns immunity issues. So I'd like to hear your sort of perspective on what's going to what you think may happen and how far the immunity issue can be pushed vis-à-vis the private sector and sharing information for you guys. Now, thanks for that question. Harvey, legislation in this area is needed. We know that we need the information and the private sector needs to be able to share information effectively with each other and they need to be able to share information effectively with the government when it comes to cybersecurity threat information. And likewise, the government needs to have a method of giving, for instance. You find a bad signature, meaning an identification for a piece of malicious code. We need to have mechanisms where we can push that out so that private companies can harden their own infrastructure and protect against those who would use that bad signature to attack their systems. And that's why the president has called upon Congress and introduced legislation that would provide immunity from suit, for instance, so that private companies know clearly what the type of information it is that they can share to the government and know that when they do that they can do so legally. In the absence of legislation, we've tried at the Department of Justice talking to private sector partners. We've issued guidance saying, you know, meeting together in a sector to talk about cybersecurity issues and share signatures is not going to be a violation of the antitrust law. We've tried to issue clarifying, again, based on questions that we heard from when I was doing outreach with general councils that the Electronic Communication Privacy Act is not a bar to the sharing of information in certain instances in this space. And you've seen the president more recently issue a new executive order on information sharing to try to set up these industry-specific groups that could share the information. But what I've heard again and again from general councils and doing outreach is that to reach the optimum level where they feel they can share in this space, we need legislation. And so I very much hope and I know members of both parties have been very engaged and active on this issue and I hope we'll see legislation in the coming year. This lady in front. Can you wait for your mic? Thanks. Hello, I have a question that was sent in on Twitter for the two of you. The question is from Casper Bowden and it says for... On February 5th, EU privacy authorities demanded that the United States stop bulk collection of European data. Will you? So... LAUGHTER It's Twitter. I look forward to hearing Peter's answer to this question. Well, I think it's... Peter has the power to press you for an answer to that question. So it says, I think the... I think the United States alone really at this point among nations throughout the world has had a president who's announced what we'll do and what we won't do in terms of our intelligence collection. You'll find that every major country in the world, Western and otherwise, has an intelligence service that... And that intelligence services have been recognized under international law. And what the president has said is it's not a question... We need to make sure it's not a question of what we can do but what we ought to be doing with those technical expertise and authorities. And so he's put self-constraints on what the intelligence community can do in this space. And that you also see in the American system a unique system of oversight as well that dates back to the original passage of the FISA Act or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act where it's not just the executive branch but that you have the involvement of the court system. And these are the same judges that I appeared before as a prosecutor who are doing, in addition to their regular duties, sit on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And we set up a unique structure in terms of having the Intelligence Committees of the Hill. And it was in response to abuses that this was structure was set up and rightly so where they were regularly needed to be briefed on every significant intelligence activity. And what you've seen is with the advent of new technology and the way these are being applied against threats, a national debate as to whether the involvement of the Intelligence Committees, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and the restrictions in our executive branch are sufficient for whether we should change that structure. And you've had different versions but the House, the Senate and the President all endorse different statutory proposals to change the current structure. But I would make, since that sounds like a question that's perhaps from someone overseas, the point that there isn't another country in the world I think that has this robust and transparent and an approach to the collection of intelligence. But I guarantee you that they are collecting intelligence. So although we should continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards and make sure we reach the right balance that we're comfortable with here, I also look forward to seeing what approaches that other countries, including European partners, apply to reach that same type of balance. It seems that you asked the Obama administration realize the section 215 collection of phone metadata for several years was, by the government was sort of an overreach. So I'm not sure, I think what you've heard the President say and what we're talking about here is the potential for abuse on the one hand but they haven't said that they found actual abuse which I think is an important report in a very different place than where we stood say after the church report where we found information being used for improper purposes. Here there's a potential of abuse because of the amount of information that you're collecting and on the other hand you're balancing against that, against the potential to prevent terrorist attacks. Looking at that balance I think what you find is that there's another way to achieve that goal which is what they've called for in the legislation. There are important national security implications to the type of information. There's another way to get it that doesn't involve in that instance the government holding the data so decreases that potential for abuse and that's the change that's been called for in part and the President has said this overtly because the law enforcement, the intel agencies they're working for you and they need the trust and confidence ultimately of the American people to do their jobs and so if that can increase the trust and confidence then we should do it. One more question, this lady over here. Katie, that lady over here. Hi, my name is Jessica Deer and I'm from Social Media Exchange which is a Lebanese NGO and we do a lot of research on digital rights in the Arab region. So thanks for being here and I'm particularly interested in this partnerships with countries in the Middle East and I'm concerned about these partnerships because I see in the Middle East there's so much lack of respect for freedom of expression online in particular and that these partnerships could actually basically what I want to ask is what are you going to do as a Justice Department when you're partnering with these countries and there's an initiative announced last week at the Violent Extremism Summit about working with the UEAE to message on social media but what are you going to do to make sure that we're not drawn closer to their idea of what should be free expression online versus asserting what is our first amendment right for freedom of expression online. I see a lot of potential. Okay, we got it. Yeah, thanks. So this is partly as we discussed with Peter earlier that there's so much good that can be done through social media, through giving people access to this new forum for expression and so while we need to work to make sure that we can approach and meet the national security threats, I think we can do so in a way that's consistent with our values and just speaking for my own division, that's why we have lawyers who are steeped in the protection of civil liberties and civil rights but also the use of genuinely independent court systems and the execution of those rights and how to balance that against national security threats. So what we're working to do is and we don't have all of the answers but here's how we were able to draw those balances in our system, here's the protections that we were able to provide. Here are the limitations in terms of the protection of First Amendment speech and we're trying to draw up best practices with partners that would enshrine those rights in laws and it'll obviously be an ongoing conversation. I wanna thank Assistant Attorney General John Carlin who has one of the most responsible jobs in the American government for taking time out of his busy day to come and speak with us today. Thank you Peter. Thank you sir.

Hello, everyone welcome to the art report. That's right today. We will be talking about art We will learn about a team of local artists who are conducting outreach now You may not know it, but I dabble in painting myself, and I just finished my most recent painting I'm not sure it's good enough for public display yet, but I'll let you decide I'm just kidding. I didn't do that. Okay. Here's mine. Hmm. I think I like mine better anyhow The Act United is artists coming together last August. There was a request to create a project that would involve the public in what they would like to see in public art And so I had made one house for another venue and I thought it might work to collapse the house Take it around to different venues. The houses we thought it would represent the community A neighborhood and a neighborhood coming together So that's what like in three different ones. They're slightly different In surveys before it has made a difference on the ages of people as to what they would like to see So this is six different categories of eight age categories. So that's what the colors represent The outreach effort is contributing to update the Fort Worth public art master plan The master plan is a plan to use for the next 15 years what you would like to see in public art There was a plan 15 years ago, and this is updating that plan and will be helpful To see what the public would like to see this is our 12th venue in the city And we have collected information and then that's tabulated and it'll be presented to The public to the city council even in september If you're interested in finding out more visit the fort worth public arts website If you'd like to be more involved you can check the city's calendar for news about public art projects in your neighborhood Here's a look at other events happening in and around fort worth in the next few weeks For a listing of more events and city meetings. You always can check the calendar at the city's website


It's me, JP, and it's time for JP's product pick of the week. Right here in my sort of post-apocalyptic workshop, I had to move a ton of stuff from over there. I can see right there. Patching a hole in the back of the garage. This was a garage before I turned it into my workshop, and the previous owner had knocked out what five or six of the studs that hold up the wall to make a hole, to make a box, to fit like his bumper on his car, like a huge Buick or something like that. So it's been like that for 20 years or more now, and I'm finally fixing it. So pardon the mess, the messier, the usual mess here. Let's see. So, oh, also, full disclosure, because we're doing those things with machine learning, or if used to call it artificial intelligence, but with machine learning, a friend of mine made that image using one of the machine learning tools and gave it a description, and then I superimposed part of my face. Most of it, including the beard and the hair, were from the AI and looked weirdly like me, and the workshop looks weirdly like mine. That's from a description. I feel like it's been training on my videos or something, because, hey, weird. And since I'm talking about the process here, half of that background wasn't there, and I added it with Photoshop's generative fill. So the, to the right, screen right, or character right, screen left. None of that was there, and in Photoshop I said extend the background, and it just nailed it, which is wild. So that's that. All right, let's get on with this show. Woo, hey, what's happening? Okay, so first of all, if you wanna go and check out the product pick and get a jumpstart on it, you can head to that URL or to that QR code. It is product ID 3190, so you can jump on over there. You can watch the show from inside there. We broadcast the show inside of the page, and you will see that it is on discount. You can get it for half price during the show. After the show it'll go back to full price, but if you wanna get this week's product pick, throw some in your cart and maybe some other things, and just hit go before the end of the show, and you'll get it for half price. But before I say anymore, let's have Lady Aida jump back a little bit in time to tell you about this week's product. Take it away, Lady Aida. We have a little motor driver. So it's a cute little motor driver, but despite it being cute, it's quite powerful. So some people wanted some high power motor control. These can do up to 3.6 amps up to 45 volts. They're very basic. It just uses two PWM or digital inputs to control the motor, but really good when you have just a large motor. It also has built-in current limiting, which I kinda like, so you can limit the current using an external resistor. It's not a sensor resistor, it's just not in line with your signal, so it doesn't get hot. You don't have to worry about having a 0.001 ohm resistor. Instead, I guess it's used as a current multiplier or internal circuit that is current limiting. So there's an external resistor, about 30K, is what we put on there to start, but you can adjust it as necessary to change the current. So we thought, set the current limit to about two amps. That's a pretty good place for most motors.  The motor is continuing to fight whatever is obstructing it. And I've got a simple demo here, so this is just the Arduino compatible, and then they have it hooked up to the two PWM outputs, so this is nine and 10. And then I just slowly ramp up and down. It only drives one DC motor, but if you wanna have that much current going through a motor anyways, you'll wanna have a separate chip. So let me turn this on. Give it a second. Just start up. There you go. Okay, I don't know why I was... So it speeds up the motor one direction, slowly speeds up, speeds back down, and then goes the other direction. So it's just a very simple demo of... Sorry, I'm still loud. It's a very simple demo of a motor. And then if you're running the motor and you hold this so it can't turn, it does fight, but it eventually just like, it doesn't keep going after a certain current limit. So it's good for your batteries if you have a power supply that's in the middle. See what I find, I just keep going. Yeah. Does that. It also has internal thermal protection, undervoltage, a couple of other things. That's a cute little motor driver handy for robots and stuff. Okay. That's it. Handy for robots and stuff, sign me up. Yeah, look at that. Right there. That is the gorgeous little product pick this week. Right there. That is my product pick this week. It is the DRV8871 DC Motor Driver Breakout. So this has everything you need on it. It can take anywhere from 3.6. Is that right? No. I'm getting my numbers mixed up. Yeah, it can take anywhere from 6.5 volts up to 45 volts DC through the terminal jack that you can solder on one of these. And then it'll output to your DC motor and you can control it just with two pins or even just one if you're only going in one direction of PWM control coming from your microcontroller. So let's see, let's take a look at some things here. First of all, there's the page right there. So go and check that out. Like I said, product ID 3190. So this can go up to 3.6 amps of current. By default, when it comes to you, it's set for two amps. So when it tries to draw more than two amps, it will shut down to save your batteries from getting chewed up. You can change out the resistance level of that little resistor you see on there. There's a little resistor on there that's a surface mount, but you can put on your own resistor to change the value of that current limiting. What else does it have? Thermal protection, so it gets too hot. It'll stop under voltage protection. And you don't need to give it any logic level voltage separate. So you can just feed it the DC voltage that it's gonna use for driving the motor and it'll sip off of that what it needs to drive the chip. You can use a 3.3 volt logic level microcontroller or a five volt logic level microcontroller. Those will work. And we have, we've got libraries in circuit Python. Or rather, I should say, you don't need libraries, right? You just need to be able to PWM. So anything that can PWM can tell this way to go. It is an H bridge driver, which means you can send the current flowing or the voltage flowing in either direction. So you can run forward and you can run reverse on your brushed DC motor. So this page here will give you some of those specs as well as there's a link in here to the learn guide. And so you can check this out right here. This will show you all of the basics of it, including the pinout. So you can see here on the pinout, there's the motor power pins. Those are broken out both as some little headers. So you can solder wires directly to that or to pins to put into your perma-proto or your breadboard. So you can feed it the voltage that's gonna be driving the motor there. Or, and I prefer this, use the included terminal blocks and feed it from there. You've also got your input pins. So input one and input two. And that'll just say if we PWM one of those up, we will drive in that direction. If we PWM the other one up, we'll drive in the opposite direction. And then there's that motor output pin. So what I thought I'd do is show you a little demo I put together of this in action. Let's jump to how about that view right there. And let me zoom out a bit. So let me give you a little tour here, in fact. So there you can see is my DRV8871. It has PWM pins and ground coming from this itsy-bitsy. It's a bit CRP2040. And then I have a DC jack plugged into a big battery pack.  You can feed that from a wall wart as well. Just for convenience, I'm using a battery pack. And then that is driving this motor that you see back here. And I've grafted onto that, one of our little Technic pin, Lego compatible Technic pin axles for the drive shaft. And we can focus on that. There we go. Let me move myself over to that side. There, you can see it a little better now. So there's the type of DC motor we're driving. There's my itsy-bitsy. Here is the DRV8871. It's driving the motor under there and we're getting DC power from battery. And then I have a little technical gear train there. So if I give this microcontroller power, it will start sending PWM to tell the motor to go in one direction, slow it down, and then go in the other direction. So this could be any type of hobby application. In this case, I'm driving some Lego without having to use sort of official Lego motors and microcontrollers and Blockly programming languages. Instead I just wanted to use CircuitPython. But you can of course use this for any type of small motor application up through up to a 45 volt motor that draws up to 3.6 amps. So it doesn't have to be tiny. So let's take a look at the code that I've got running on here. So in CircuitPython, I am simply, I'm just gonna pull the power. Pull the power from the motor there so it's not yelling at me. So I've simply got PWM IO imported into the microcontroller and then I've picked two pins, pin D7 and pin D9 are a good pair of PWM pins on the RP2040. So I'm setting up one as motor in one and the other is motor in two. And then you can tune the frequency here to something that works well. I found this 2600 after experimentation seemed to work pretty nicely as a PWM frequency. And then I've set a max value and that's at half duty cycle only because I don't wanna burn out the motor and I've got 12 volts of battery going into this so I don't wanna send the full range. So I'm doing about half range on the PWM to tell the driver to drive that about half that available voltage. And then in my main loop all I'm doing is setting my duty cycle on one pin to essentially be low as essentially the ground reference. And then the other pin I'm just ramping up you can see one unit at a time here it just ramps up to the max which is this 32768. Then we wait eight seconds that's why it's gonna run for a little while and then I slow it down so just run that same thing in reverse wait a second and then switch to other side. So if I give this power again it's been running this whole time. You can see it doing its thing there I'll go back to a full view see that doing its thing and there's our little driver board telling that motor what to do. All right, so pull that again let's see what more is there to say I think that covers it if you wanna get this for the discount price during the show all you gotta do is head to that URL right there, 3190 and take a look at the board right there. Now, this is a single motor it can drive in two directions but really it's a single motor it's gonna drive. So if you want to you can use multiple of these as long as you have PWM pins and I think there's probably 10 sets of them or something like that on the itsy bitsy you can drive a bunch of these just give them adequate power and then you can either set up a whole bunch of motors or you can set your timing to drive things like stepper motors one coil per so there are probably better drivers for that sort of thing but there's nothing to stop you from doing that. Let's see, questions. DJ Devin three asks over in our Discord can this be used with 130 hobby motors? I don't know which ones those are maybe a link I'm not sure. Yeah, these are the TT motors which are geared already and then I'm further gearing it down with the Lego there but these on their own if you look at the back of the demo here I have one of the since this has a shafts running through both sides of the body there you can see this one's spinning at full speed. So that's the full or rather half I guess half speed full safe speed on this motor is that there. I think the specs are in the product pages for the different motors that we have let's have the metal shaft versions of these and the bimetal if you take a look at this one here that's the one I'm using so this one's a three to six volt so lowest you can give it is three you'll hear it'll whine a little bit as we're ramping up until it hits that three volts where it can start moving and then further it'll go faster as it gets up to the six volts so this is one of the many that we have I think if you look up TT motor in our in the story you'll see we've got different gear ratios one in 90, one in 90, one in 90 this is a 200 RPM we've switched units here so I'm not sure which or which but any of those motors there are a great choice and you can also just drive these bog standard toy motors do we sell them on their own? Yeah this guy this little toy DC motor oh so that's a 130 size yeah yeah you found it for me thank you yeah so that's a typical I didn't know those were called 130s yeah so that's a pretty typical one that I tore out of every toy when I was a kid and was trying to see how it worked that's the motor you found I've got a drawer full of them in fact I just ran across so these guys with the little flat shaft you'll also find round ones we'll drive any of those because I think once I pulled out of VCRs or something like that okay so let's see I think that covers all the features on it the learn guide some of the motors that you can expect to drive with that and let me know if there's any other what a handsome little minifigures isn't that guy cute? in fact I wanted to show you that in the full full sort of twisted demo of this my little minifigure there is doing who knows what to this weird mad scientist guy I don't recommend torturing your toys so maybe this guy asked for it who knows is that weird? it's kind of weird but look at that guy you've ever seen a minifigure with a double tall head you're a weird guy is that actually his head or is it an add-on? yeah it's kind of his hat is another head oh my god that guy is weird okay also there's this cat right here okay that's enough playtime right so yeah this doesn't look safe I don't know what's happening it's all gone off the rails that's going to do it though so head on over here pick some up you can get them for the half price during the show right there they are $3.75 they are still in stock you get maximum of 10 per customer depending on what you want to do with them you might want a whole slew of them note these also have mounting holes so you can hook them up to your project a little more easily than I have with the Legos here alright that will do it so thanks everyone for stopping by and I will see you later in the week don't forget we have other shows coming up such as 3D printing Hangouts tomorrow morning and then we have Show and Tell and Ask an Engineer in the evening and I'll be back with a workshop show on Thursday and I might have even cleaned up some of this stuff by then so I will see you then thanks everyone for stopping by for 8 different industries I'm John Park this has been JP's product pick of the week


Hi guys! What is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I'm going to be featuring three new products, testing them out. So we have a couple items from the newest Scott Barnes summer collection, and then I'm also... I'm late to the game, I know, but I'm trying out the Pure and Raw Beauty Christie palette. So if you want to see how I got this look, me just playing around, I know it looks crazy, then just keep watching. Okay, definitely looking a little bit crazy right now. We're gonna fix this. Still the three products that I mentioned, if you're specifically looking for a review on that, I would just put time stamps down below in case you're like not interested in something that I'm talking about. But I do want to start off with the Pure and Raw Christie Beauty palette.  I know it's Raw Beauty Christie, but for some reason, I swear, as soon as I get on camera, every single time, Raw Christie Beauty. I'm sorry. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the facts about this because at this point, everybody and their mama has done a review on this palette. But I know some of you were curious about my thoughts. This little guy was actually gifted to me by one of my friends, Yachty. She is Yachty Beauty here on YouTube, and she had an extra one, and she was kind enough to send it my way. She does have her own YouTube channel. She's done a full review on this palette as well. So make sure you go and check out her channel if you want more info on this palette. And thank you so much for sending this my way because honestly, I originally wasn't going to purchase this. I love Christie, but this palette honestly didn't really catch my eye. I personally was trying to save some money, so I decided to pass on this palette. And then when I saw the whole predicament of getting this palette, I was like, huh, definitely not getting that now. And then at the end, I kind of regretted it because there were so many mixed opinions on this palette and the quality. So I was having FOMO basically, and I wanted to know what I thought of the formula. And side note, the lashes in her collection, gorgeous. If she ever restocks on those lashes, I would pick up the lashes, but I'm so excited to play on camera with this palette. So you can see my opinions because based on this I definitely do have some thoughts. Let me prep because you need to prep with this palette, especially if you're playing with the colorful side, which is basically the side I played with. I've been doing a lot of neutral looks lately, I feel like. I was like, let me do some color here. So I'm using my Kaleidos tone activating primer, and I'm going to put this all over my eyeball. This is nice because it very subtly kind of links out the eye a little bit. It's nice and thin. I just put this in my July favorites. I've been enjoying this primer a lot. And then I rarely do this, but I'm glad I did for this palette. I'm taking some of my ABH loose setting powder. I probably should have done like my cheaper powders for this, but whatever. We're going to just put a thick layer of it down here. And I don't like doing this because I really do feel like it dries my skin out a little bit, but better that than dark blue shadow stuck down here. Let's get into it. If you have been living under a rock and you haven't seen this palette, basically it's a double sided palette. There are nine pans on each side, so 18 altogether. This was designed by Christie herself. So these are her actual drawings, which is amazing.  It's a side that will definitely be more used by me. And then on the other side, we have a party. And these are crazy colors. The reason that I wasn't interested in this palette, and this is just me being completely honest, like I have all of the colors that this side has to offer. And this has a rainbow palette. If I'm being quite honest, doesn't really interest me. These aren't the kind of colorful colors that I'm into. They're, I don't know, I'm just not feeling it. But I'm excited to play and tell you guys my thoughts on the quality and whatnot. Even though I love Christie, I gotta be honest, like anything have to do with the quality. It's on purest part. It's not on Christie's part. I think design wise, idea wise, Christie did amazing. Okay, so I'm going to start off with the neutral side. And I'm taking my whole heart right here. And we will come back to this color, but to start, we're keeping it very simple. And we're just popping this shade under the brow bone. Love that she added this cream shade in here, because this color is so useful for so many different techniques. So we're going to where we will be staying for a while, taking a clean brush. This is a Esum W21. We're going into Lumos right here, which is just a pure white color. I think if you have these kind of colors where there's not really a light matte, it was amazing that she added a white because you just mix these with the other colors and they will create a lighter version of the other colors that you have. And this is a very nice white. It is very powdery. All of the mattes in here, they are a more powdery formula. So just prepare for that. Hence the extra powder I put down here. And I'm just putting this right in the inner corner. The next shade that I'm going into is tribute. Now I was a little bit not sure of putting this as the first color on my eye because it can kind of make you look a little punched in the eye. So that is why I added the white to lighten that up. And with this formula, please just pat it down and blend later. These colors really build very well.  But if you're doing a look like this, you can build it up. And now what I'm doing is this is the refer 14 brush, by the way. I'm going to work on blending this inside edge into that white to create kind of like a lilac color like so. And then slowly as the brush loses product, work on kind of blending this edge. We'll come back to blending edges, but do what you can so that it doesn't look crazy. Like I probably could have even blended more on this other side. And I'm going to go back and add just a little bit more white. This white is really nice, you guys. It's doing a really good job. Next shade I'm taking is this one right here, garden state. And I'm using a Luxy 229 brush. And I'm going to pat this right in the center of the lid. Now this is not my favorite shade. I think it has a lot of vibrancy, but it blends away pretty quickly. And I feel like it can turn a little bit muddy also. I don't know you guys, like my eye is really patchy on this side. And I don't know if it's the navy or this blue shade, but it's oxidizing in some areas, which is really, really weird. So between the purple and this teal, I did my best to blend. And I felt like I had gotten it to be blended looking. The colors almost started to oxidize or get muddy. It's very, very odd. So that's kind of something that I've noticed that hasn't made the application of this look the easiest. And from reviews I've seen, I don't know if many people have pointed it out, but I've definitely noticed it as they were applying. So this is something that I expected to happen just from what I was seeing on other reviews, which is kind of disappointing. I don't know. Maybe it's the purple shade it's not agreeing with because color theory wise, these don't blend together the easiest. Again, same thing is happening right here that happened right here. It's just darker. It's ugly. I don't know you guys. So again, we're going to come back to that. But now I'm going into hurtful. Now this shade is gorgeous. It's not quite a blue shade, but I'm going to pat this out here and build. So this is a refer number one brush. I like this color. But again, I feel like it's oxidizing, which is weird. You're going to have to go back and build the colors up, especially this tail in the center. It kind of disappears. It looks ugly when it disappears. I don't know. I hate to be negative, but some weird things are happening. And it might be subtle. You may not notice it, but I noticed it to blend the edges out up here. I'm taking just a Mac 224 brush and blending it. And here is when you are going to go back into my whole heart, that cream shade, and you can actually use this to kind of help you buff it out like so. And you see all of the fallout that I got from those blue and teal shades. That's why you want to put powder down if you're like me and you like to do your face makeup first. So for the most part that's looking okay. Um, I don't know. I definitely feel like I need to play with these colors more to really make my decision. I don't know if I just did a bad mix of colors or user error. I just was, I'm just not good at this kind of technique or this kind of look, but it's not perfect. It's not a really smooth application. It's not seamless like other palettes that I've used where I can easily create a look like this. So I'm going to go back into hurtful and I'm using a refer 12 and I'm going to just put this right on the outer corner and build it back up up here as well because it kind of faded and meshed into that teal shade, just like that, just a little bit. And then here we're going to have a little bit of fun. I'm going to go into dandy line, which is the yellow. We're going to mix that into hurtful and this is going to create a green, which is really fun. So we're kind of going to do a rainbow down here, a little bit of yellow. So it'll go blue, green, yellow now, color theory. And I'm going to take some of am I orange, which yes, it's an orange shade. And I'm going to lead that from the yellow to the inner corner. It's a little bit weird to have an orange as the inner corner. That's okay. I think it still looks good. I've powder all over my desk from this palette, you guys. Final shade. We're going to take one of the two shimmery colors. This is cafe disco. I wish they added more shimmer colors because I think the shimmers in this palette are beautiful. But I'm going to put this right in the inner corner and on top of the white, like so. I'm going to do liner lashes so you guys can kind of see what we're working with. And I'll give you kind of my first impressions on this. So I just threw on some really big, crazy lashes for this look. I figured go bigger, go home since I already had a rainbow eye. This was my first impressions. And I really do feel like I need to go back and actually use the palette more. But I'm going to get closer so you guys can see it actually this blue. It was clinging to some drier parts up here underneath my eyebrow. I don't know. Shadows sometimes do that, but not a lot of shadows. So it still is kind of a rare thing and it caught a dry patch over here too, which shadows always blend weird over here. So I forgive that. But this is a bit weird. This blue definitely struggled to blend out. Like I said, the problems I'm having, part of it's probably just user error. This is definitely not a look that I create very often, but I've created looks like this before with no issues also. I think that if I were like to go in with my typical makeup look, use the colors that I'm used to using, I probably would like this palette and have different things to say, which is why I need to use this more now. But I think there definitely are some issues with the formula here that it's just not the best quality. These are very bold colors. They're hard to formulate.  I'm going to continue playing. I will do an updates video with this palette because I feel like I need to. All right. So we are going to move into the Scott Barn pieces that I picked up from his new summer collection. So these are all available right now on his website. And he came out with a few things in the summer collection. I only got the items that I was actually kind of interested in. The things that I were the least interested in were of course the eyeshadow palettes. Hence why I used my Pura palette. So he came out with two little mini palettes, a more colorful one called Tequila Sunrise and then a more neutral one called Shimmering Sands. So these were $25 and honestly, the color stories didn't interest me at all. And it looked, they looked a little bit cheap to me. So I passed on those. And what I was most interested in the collection was the flossy glossy summer sizzle because I haven't tried his lip glosses before. And then I decided just given all the other bronzers I wanted to review the Bondi Beach Bronzing powders that he came out with. So these guys are quite pricey. They are $55 and he has two shades. So I think there was some sort of mix up in the factory or wherever they were packing the products because I think you got sent like the opposite color because they actually sent me Sicilian Sun, which is a deeper color, obviously not the color that I purchased. And then before it even came to my house, I had already gotten an email that they had sent out the correct color, which is Bondi Beach. So this is the color that I originally ordered. And here is the deeper color now, just kind of looking at them in the pan, Sicilian Sun is much, much, much warmer. I would feel guilty not mentioning this, but this bronzer is $55. And this is something that really bothers me. Just so you know, you do get 35.7 grams of products as opposed to like Charlotte Tilbury, which is 16 grams of product. So this is well over twice the amount of product that's in the Charlotte Tilbury. The Gucci bronzer has 12 grams. This has three times the amount that you get in this bronzer. Obviously, this is like way more expensive. This is a whole other league. But you do get a lot of product, but still for $55 in one shot, that's pretty hard to justify. So the reason that I'm saying this is because he does make his products in China. And I don't have any problem with products made in China. I'm not saying everything made in China is bad quality. There's a lot of other brands that I love that have really nice products that are made in PRC. Scott Barnes has his prices in the range of luxury makeup items. And typically, obviously, I don't know his factories. I don't know how much a product costs to make with whatever factory he's using. He did say that he uses very nice factories in China. But typically, when you'll go to have products made in China, it's just less expensive to make products there. And I'm really disappointed that that doesn't really reflect in the price nor the packaging.  This looks like a Maybelline product here. Just for example, here is a Maybelline bronzer. Obviously, this is gold all the way through, but it also looks like this Milani bronzer. So nothing about this to me really feels luxury for the $55 that I paid for it. It's cheap plastic. It's lightweight. You know, it's not nice material either. So that is something that I wanted to point out. And that alone kind of leads a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. And I love all of this palette. I think the quality is great. I'm not saying he doesn't have good quality. I just speculate he's charging us a lot more than he paid to make these products. Anyways, I bought him anyways. The product itself really beautiful. You have the bronzer and then you have this shimmery sun with SP on it. Now, from what I've seen, this is an overspray. And I've got to be honest, you probably want to get this overspray off. I'm going to swatch with the overspray.  So I'm going to start off on the outside. And I'm trying to avoid the gold, but it's kind of hard to. So here is Bondi Beach and here is Sicilian Sun. Sicilian Sun is much more warm, a little bit more red. It's probably not quite as deep as I thought it would be considering it's a darker bronzer. But the tone is definitely going to work on people with a deeper skin tone than myself. And let me get it with the overspray. No, no, no, no. Okay, so here I've mixed in. So actually, yeah, it's just too golden shimmery. This is Bondi Beach Sicilian Sun. I don't really like that. I don't really want that on my face. What I am going to do, I'm just going to take this Morphe R2 brush and I'm going to test out Bondi Beach. I think I'm just going to give this one to my mom since she's deeper than me.  It's all you really have to do. Just going to put some of that glitter on my chest while I'm at it. Okay, so if you just take a big brush, it's pretty easy to get that overspray off. And now I have like a gold sheen on my chest, which is really pretty. All right, so now let's actually test the bronzer. I'm not going to try this on.  So I'm just going to get in with what I bought. By the way, some more details, like I said, made in PRC 37.5 grams of product, which is a lot, I will admit, you do get a lot of product, but I still just it's why 24 month shelf life and not tested on animals. So I'm going to use my bling brush F1 brush and there still is a little bit of gold to it. And I'm just going to put that on. Oh, this honestly, I'm not going to lie is a really nice powder, really nice formula, really nice color. So I'm not going to deny that. So here is how it looks. This is a very flattering color for my skin tone. It's very, very warm. It's a warming bronzer, but it's still not like red or orange on my skin. Honestly, that's really pretty. And it doesn't have any fallout. You're not picking up too much product like the Gucci, it's easy to do that. This is definitely a little bit more densely packed, but it still applies very smooth.   This is a really nice bronzer. Let me compare it to the Charlotte Tilbury bronzer that we can see color wise. Charlotte Tilbury bronzer is definitely a little bit more creamy. My gosh, I just watched them and then I forgot which was which, hold on. So here's the comparison to my three newest luxury bronzers. So here's Scott Barnes, Bondi Beach. And we have Charlotte Tilbury airbrush bronzer number two. The Charlotte Tilbury is definitely much more neutral, whereas this has a little bit more warmth to it. And then the Gucci bronzer in number one, which is much more cool and pink. So this color is different from the newer bronzers that I've purchased. And honestly, it's a really beautiful bronzer for summer. So I don't really love everything about this bronzer, but it's nice. I'm going to finish my cheeks and then we are going to dive into the glossy glossy summer sizzle set. Okay, so it's actually been a few hours. I ate lunch and then I was just like chilling and my new merch samples came in. And I feel so silly saying, Oh, I have merch, but like I designed something really cute. So that will be coming soon. I'm so excited in love. Okay. Anyways, so this is the item in the collection that I was most definitely the most excited about. This is why I placed the order. This is the Flossy Glossy Summer Sizzle lip gloss trio set. So this is $63. And I thought this was a decent deal. His lip glosses alone are $26. And since I never tried the formula, I wouldn't even know where to start with what colors to pick up. So I thought this was the perfect set for me. And it comes in really pretty packaging, honestly, much prettier than the bronzer. This is limited edition with limited edition colors. The packaging is in this gorgeous white component with some gold detailing. His regular glosses are all gold. So I like this like kind of Tom 40 white vibe. It's not like a heavy gloss or glass or anything like pemicraft. It's more plastic. But again, this looks much better than the bronzers. We have three shades here. Let me swatch them for you. So just so you can see these have a brush tip applicator. And this first one is Crystal, which is a sheer iridescent gloss. Sorry, my like swatches are kind of there. This is basically sheer. And then we have Blondie, which is a new shimmer. These do have a very slight vanilla scent. Honestly, this is Blondie. It's the second shade, but it kind of looks the same. I feel like I just got two glare glosses. Okay. And then the last one is Coral Cabana. This one has a little bit more color. It's a pink gloss. These are all very sheer glosses. I'm not sure of the nature of his regular line glosses. I don't know if they're all sheer or they have pigmentation. So if you've tried the regular Scott Barnes lip glosses, let me know if they're all this sheer because these are very sheer. I mean, he did say that these were a sheer gloss set, which is fine for this summer. If it's a summer collection, but I hope his whole line isn't like this. Just to add some quick definition to my lips, I'm using Pat McGrath buff. Start off with Miss Crystal over here. It's pretty. We all have room in our collection for a gloss kind of like this. It's a little bit on the stickier side of glosses, which I don't mind because honestly, it means it's going to last longer and it has a pretty shine. It smells a little bit like cupcakes. So this is nice. It's kind of just like a clear gloss. Nothing special. Okay. We'll do Blondie Nexus, which is that sheer nude. It's not that I don't like it. It's just the exact same as the one that I just put on, which, you know, you don't want two colors that look the exact same in a set of three. But the formula, it does feel good, but that's kind of disappointing. And the last one we're going to try is Coral Cabana. And mine got a little, I don't know if you can see this, but the brush got a little bit mucked up. You see that? The bristles aren't together. We have a hair sticking out. I mean, this is prettier. But again, it is very, very sheer. Yeah. I mean, I can't speak too much on the formula. This is just an initial obligation. It's on the stickier side, which I don't mind as long as it's not super sticky. Not my favorite formula, but I mean, it looks pretty. So we'll see. I'm going to finish up, get myself together, and I'll be back to tell you my final thoughts on everything. All right, you guys. So it's time to talk about these products. As you can see, I'm not super enthused. So we'll start off with the Pure and Raw Beauty Christy palette. It has potential, but it says a lot when I don't love it the first try. It doesn't mean that that's the end. I'll be on my final decision, but I'm pretty familiar with so many formulas that I can kind of tell right away. And I'm not crazy about the formula on here. I think it's a really fun palette. I can see it being great for travel, great for so many different occasions. But to be honest, on this side, I just don't even really like the colors that are in here. They're not my preferences for colors. This side is nice, but I haven't even used it really. And as far as the formula goes, there was just weird things happening on my eyelid. Again, that has nothing to do with Christy. That's on Pure's part. Yeah, I just feel like the colors were struggling to blend together. Weird things were happening like oxidation. I don't know, maybe it was a one time thing. I do want to continue playing with this and I have to update you guys because right now it's not my favorite palette and I'm not very excited. Okay, and then we'll get into the Scott Barnes collection, which as a whole, I was pretty underwhelmed by. We'll start off with the bronzers. Like I said, kind of disappointed in the price at this, I think $55 is a bit steep. But that being said, I must admit of all the products that I tried in this video, this is the one product where as soon as I tried it, I really, really liked it like right away. So I do wish that he would do a bit of a price adjustment because his prices don't make sense to me when they're being manufactured in PRC, where let's be honest, it's just cheaper to create products there. And if he says he's in this amazing lab, why go all the way to China? I'm not into that side of beauty. But this is the first luxury price brand that I've noticed consistently goes to China for their products. And it still have that same price tag. That being said, this is a really pretty bronzer. I love the tone on me. I loved how it spread. It wasn't too much product. It's not too powdery. So the product itself is good. So you have to make that decision. If you think it's worth it, I will say $55. It's a lot to pay at once, but I will give it to them that you get a crap ton of product. The value in here really isn't bad, but it's like why do you need this much product though? I just anyways, I do like the bronzer, but I wish the packaging could have at least been nicer or something. And then finally the flossy glossy summer sizzle. I personally wouldn't recommend it because $63 for three glosses. I thought that was a pretty good deal based on the prices of his individual glosses, but these look like clear glosses on me. The pink adds a little bit of color, but other than that, the first two look the same. And I can't justify purchasing a trio for $63 to get basically two clear lip glosses and one that's slightly pink. Like I kept saying, I don't think the formula itself is bad. I like the consistency. It feels actually quite moisturizing on my lips. And I feel like wear time is going to be really good, but the color selection here not worth it. I would be interested in trying other glosses that weren't sheer like this. This set itself, color range wise, it's not it. Yeah you guys, that's it. Those are the three new products that I trade out with you today. I hope you enjoyed it, and I certainly hope you found it helpful. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would really appreciate it if you would consider taking the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one.


What's the word y'all? I'm behind us with you. I didn't think I was going to be able to make this video. I am as sick as can be, but the Boston Celtics became one of the few teams in the big history to be down 0-3 to force a game 7. So I gotta do what I gotta do. So if there's an abnormal amount of cuts in this, that's because I gotta clip my throat, I gotta drink some water, whatever, the show must go on. Now they wanted a few teams to force a game 7 to be a down 0-3, but they have an advantage that none of those other previous teams have and we gotta talk about that. After we talk about the enjoy basketball newsletters ladies and gentlemen, we drop Monday, Wednesday, Friday, all things NBA. I know right now it's not too tough to keep up with the league considering we're down to our last couple games of the entire year, but throughout the course of the NBA season enjoy basketball newsletters away to keep up with the league in the best way possible. We almost got 50,000 newsletter readers, which is crazy to say aloud because again we're talking about newsletters that go to the email. I didn't know that the market was like this and I'm just putting you on game before getting what's never going to be too late, but you want to be in on the ground floor. We have a writer one time a week that's writing about the W. So it is enjoy basketball, it's not just the NBA. So hit the link in the description Monday, Wednesday, Friday. You get your newsletters, read them up and let me know what you think. All right, if you watched the game yesterday, you know what that advantage that the Boston Celtics have because they sent it on the broadcast, maybe five to six times. All the other teams that were down 0-3 and forced the game 7, they didn't have that game 7 on their home court. Now the Boston Celtics for the last couple seasons haven't been this Golden State Warriors team at home in the playoffs, at least in the playoffs. Their record at home is staggeringly bad. I think it's around 500 and you got to remember that this is a team that has been one of the top seeds for the last couple of seasons. So the fact that they struggle at home where they are 500 team in the playoffs, it's going to play a part or it has played a part. How big of a part would it play in this in game seven? I don't know because in the last series, the home court was something. They ran the Philadelphia 76ers out of the gym behind a magnificent game from Jason Tatum. Again, the Miami Heat are a different monster when it comes to the small intangible things in basketball, something that the Philadelphia 76ers feel like they were lacking. So it shouldn't be that easy, but Elimination game Tatum seems to be a thing. And this is saying something because they were up by 10-ish points with like four or five minutes to go and they allowed the Miami Heat to get right back into that game. And that fourth quarter, we got to look at the Boston Celtics fans. It was not a pretty show. The Jason Tatum ended up with like six points in the second half completely and not a lot of those was coming in the fourth quarter. But the course of history changed in just 0.1 seconds, which is crazy. Now, the Boston Celtics already are going to have some difficult conversations as obviously whether they win the championship or lose this game seven, because of course, Jaylen Brown is up for that Super Max extension at $300 million. And if you want to have $600 million between Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, just two players in the roster, you got the second curtain thing coming at the end of next season. There's a lot of conversations for the Boston Celtics to figure out how to build the championship team because they've been able to build the championship contender for the better half of a decade. But we're talking about championship team. Now that they get this game seven, those conversations are going down the line just a little bit later. And now with them having this game seven and the home court advantage where the Miami Heat team that we're seeing right now looks dramatically different than the Miami Heat team. We saw the first three games in a series for the five games in the last series and for the five games of the series before that. And a lot of that boils down to their star level play. In a game six, I want to make sure I get my numbers right. I'm going to make sure I get my numbers right. You got 21 points from Kayla Martin. You got 10 points from Max Drews. You got 15 from Gabe Vincent. You got eight from Cal Laury. And I think all eight of those came in the second half. You got Duncan Robinson in the fourth quarter scoring 10 of his 13 points. That is the the production that you want from outside of your top two players. But now you hit the top two players not showing up to work. I know Jimmy but ended up with 24 points. Let me bounce eight assists. If you watched the game that wasn't a Jimmy Butler performance that we've seen earlier in the series or in the last series. I know that well damn I didn't realize he shot four of 16. Sheesh. I mean in the paint alone the Boston Celtics hit them on the club. I think they shot 30 percent of the field in the in the painted area. That's supposed to be the easiest shot of basketball. Not with Rob Williams down there. I guess not without Hufford down there. And what scares me a little bit is that this might have been the game for the role players to play their best ball. And now you go back to Boston where you can't really rely on those role players to have those great performances. My boy D Mills always say role players play better at home. And I again I ain't never looked up the statistics to prove that to be right or wrong simply with the Miami Heat. But again Kayla Martin has such a game gave Vincent hit his shots. Duncan Robison. Oh Duncan Robison as it looks at the end of the game. But I can't be mad at Duncan because he was one of the main reasons why that 10 point deficit that you had in that four minutes were down to zero and that you eventually had to lead. But we mentioned it at the last game there are just times throughout the course of Jimmy Butler's career where his whole objective is to draw the foul. And he's one of the best in the game at it right. If you look at total free throws he's towards the top. Like that's the thing he does. And in this game alone he ended up with 14 free throw attempts. Like that's part of his game and I'm not discrediting him for that. But eventually got to put the ball in the basket. There are a lot of possessions in this game when Jimmy Butler didn't even touch the ball. Now I'm not saying that everything has to be ran through your star player. I mean I don't know if that's the recipe for success. But we're talking stretches of the game when Jimmy Butler's not involved whatsoever. And in the fourth quarter he had 15 points which is great. I mean he ended up shooting eight that 10 free throws in the fourth quarter. There was a lot a lot of free throws in this game. And again another one of the reasons why they were able to come back from down 10. But it also felt like he was not looking at the basket as nearly as much as you want him to do.  I like how level headed that is. I like how Eric Sposher did something he don't normally do. Which is come to the podium and not guarantee anything. But it's rare to see Eric Sposher say something like we're gonna figure this out and we'll be we'll be back in the final whatever the exact quote was. That's not something that Eric Sposher normally does. So we'll see. Because this is gone from a Cinderella story that that is one of the best stories involved to like they could be the first team out of 180 I think the number is to blow the 3-0 lead. Which is insane. 0.1 seconds is all it took. And I've seen a lot of conversations on Twitter about specifically Matt Struce on the inbound where if you look at Matt Struce he leaves the inbounder and that allows Derek White to cut straight to the basket for the tipium. And in defense of Matt Struce I will say it seemed like the game plan was to deny Jason Tatum. So when Jason Tatum flared up to get the ball he went to prevent for Tatum. And it seemed like the right idea. Marcus Smart again is in a position to win or go home big shot in the playoff. I don't know how it's always Marcus Smart but he missed the ball so perfectly that like Derek White got a V line straight to the basket for a tipium. But because Matt Struce had went to deny the ball there with Tatum there was no time for recovery which means there was no box out on Derek White and there was also no box out on the other side because if the ball were to miss the other way I mean Tatum was there for the tipium. I mean you got to put a body on these people but it seemed like I mean you're running the zone one of the major things about a zone is hard to put a body on somebody for a box out and that's the hill that you died on. There's also a lot of stuff I saw about the amount of time that was added to the clock because when Jimmy Butler shot his free throw it was at 2.1 second they went back to reviewed it and they gave another 9 tenths of a second on the clock to make it three seconds and they're saying this is this what makes me read. I never understand this part of the game and I'm not talking about it from like I don't know it feels like and I've been guilty of this as well so I'm not singling any fan base out or anything like that when you lose a game like this you want to do everything in your power to point the finger at something and after that game I'm not speaking for all Miami Heat fans but for a lot of fans I saw in the timeline they gave it to the fact that the amount of time was added to it and I rewatched the Jimmy Butler foul on Al Horford about as many times as anybody could the referees got it right but to think it would potentially be rigged for it to perfectly land in there you know how many factors played a part in Derek White getting that lay getting that tip in it was more than just having the extra zero point whatever seconds it was a lack of a box out it was the denying of Jason Tatum it was the zone defense it was a hard cuff from Derek White and Jason Tatum where they're like no matter what I'm not just going to stand around and let nothing happen and they had to be the perfect perfect miss you know what I'm saying so I can't look at the fact that there was extra time on the clock and say dang we should be in the NBA finals right now instead of looking in the mirror and say hey our star player has to do better in the last or the first three and a half quarters our all-star center our all defensive center got to shoot more than 30% from the field when he's just taking layups and mid-race jump shots it's not that there was extra time on the clock this was a winnable game and your star players didn't come through you had two shots on the other side from Bucket Robbins so he was wide wide open he was open on the first one then he took his time he dribbled the ball he even said he tested the air in the arena submit shot it's basketball you know he's one of the better three-point shooters in all of the league it's basketball and it's not just a rigging against the mind that's not the way it's working that's it that's all literally got to say hopefully by tomorrow the day after I fill 100% so I can really get into my bag but I am I'm pretty sure that once this camera goes off my voice is going to be going again so I appreciate y'all watching

Okay and that is how queer objects function. They are simply out of the norm of heterosexuality. They break the context of art or they break the context of normal art objects such as paintings or representative art. And that is in itself one of the two things I've been working with for the purpose of this exhibition, how to bring about a certain rift between the normal use of representational art or what is considered strictly vital and then try to add my own particular appeal to it. And after the work is done it also has ways in which we can break this representational art to the use of virtual space, to the use of augmented space. That is one of the few aspects of what I've been working with because it is more of an introspection rather than anything else. But it is of course more queer than ever and that is what my art is about.
