Hello and welcome to this session. Let us understand the following problem today. Evaluate the determinant 2-1-2-0-2-1-3-5-0. Now let us write the solution. We have 2-1-2-0-2-1-3-5-0. Now solving this we get, which is equal to 2-2-0-1-5 plus 1-0-3-1 minus 2-0-5 minus 2-3 which is equal to 2-0-5 plus 1-3 minus 2-0-6 which is equal to 2-5-3 minus 2-6 which is equal to minus 10 plus 3 plus 12 which is equal to minus 10 plus 15 which is equal to 5. Therefore the required answer is 5. I hope you understood the problem. Bye and have a nice day.


Jimmy K here, Metal Voice. Look at this. Metal Voice shirts are now on sale. Just go to a video description to find out on how you can purchase one. Metal! Welcome to the Metal Voice. Once again, the one, the only Tim Ripper Owens. What's going on, Tim? Yes. All right. I'm good. How are you, bud? I'm good. I'm good. KK's Priest, Sermons of the Center, October 1st via Explorer 1 Music Group, EX1 Records. Very, very exciting. So I heard the rest of the album. Yes. Oh, boy. Yeah. Very interesting, Tim. I guess my first question to you is, is this the album you should have made in Priest that you didn't get the opportunity to make in Priest? Should have this been the follow-up to Demolition? I don't know. I mean, the thing about Judas Priest is they, they, they changed and, and, did whatever they want because they were Judas Priest and every records sounded different except maybe Scream of Revengeance and Defenders of the Faith. I mean, the rest of their albums sound different. I mean, how their last album was fantastic, but it didn't really sound like Judas Priest because, you know, they didn't really write it. But it was, it was a great record, but it's, everything sounds different. You know, Juggulator was a continuation. There wasn't a band for four years and then Demolition and what would have been next? I don't know. Very well could have been, you know, I mean. Would you have liked this album to be the follow-up? A type of album? I don't know. I don't know. I would have, I would like anything.  I like exactly the records I did with Priest. I love them. I would, I would have taken whatever they were going to do. I think what this shows is, you know, what kind of records KK wanted to make with Judas Priest because this is how he writes. So, you know that maybe this shows you why records become what they are and change so much. But that's why I fell in love with Judas Priest in the first place because they changed all the time and like it or not.  No, I didn't have to love it. Now to be honest, then you go back when you get older and you listen to Ramadown, you go, man, that's, that's pretty good. And I like, but when you're, you did that, but you still, you still liked it, but you didn't have to be your favorite, but you knew they were going to change. I mean, listen, every Judas Priest fan, when they came home and bought Turbo because you couldn't listen to it, you know, ahead of time, except maybe locked in on the radio, when they first put that record on, they had to be like, what the heck is this? But that's same thing with point of entry and same thing with, you know, Judas Priest changed. But I, I, I don't know if this would have, would have been what I wanted with Judas Priest then because I wanted to, to do different things. This record though, to me just shows so much of KK Downing. I mean, KK wrote a record that he wanted to write and he wanted to write for me to sing. The first thing he said was, I'm writing this record and this is going to be all about the, you know, how you sing. I'm writing it for you to sing on. And when I first heard it, I was like, man, this is, this is, it's great stuff. I mean, because at this point, he can't afford to do something drastically different.  He's not in Judas Priest anymore. I've always said this, if you're in Judas Priest and you make a solo record, while you're in it, you can do whatever you want creatively, right? But if you're not in the band anymore, you're going to write exactly how you write. And you know, it's, it's what he, it's exactly what had to be done had, you know, not, no one's inventing the wheel, do what the fans want. And I think he was all about making himself happy. Everybody's heard the first four tracks, right? So let's dive into a little bit about each track that people haven't heard, to get sort of wet the right appetites, right? For what's coming their way. And I was pleasantly surprised because I think there was a couple of twists and turns in this album that you wouldn't necessarily hear in Priest, or maybe you would, but maybe you would, maybe you wouldn't. I was hearing more like Dio and Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden type of stuff, like Sacredote and Diablo. Yeah. All right. Yeah. One sentence described that song is this is an exorcism. What's going on there? Well, the priest and the devil, and it's a tongue twister. So that's, that's, you know, let me tell you a funny story about the song though, is I recorded it and I said it wrong because we thought it was Sacredote, Diablo, but it's Sacredote.  How about that?  Fast driving track. Is that how you describe it? You know, like a very fast moving. Right out of the gate, the album comes first three tracks, bam, bam, bam. That's why everybody's like, oh my God, you know, they thought everything was going to be, sound like sermons at a center or help our Thunderbolt, but there's not a, you know, the whole record's not high notes. No, that's what we're getting to. That's what we're going to get through. But that's what Judas Priest always is.  Someone said, oh my God, sermons at a center, you're trying to sound like Rob.  I mean, nobody said that when I sang Scream Machine and it's actually almost the same song as sermons at a center. The metal, you know, the high notes in it, you know, scream, everything's, but the rest of the album is just straightforward metal, man. Well, there's a couple twists and turns, metal through and through. I mean, I'm hearing like Dio vibe there. I'm hearing Beyond the Realms of Death. Beyond the Realms of Death, I'm hearing like dream theater instrumentals in the middle, you know, how they sort of like trade off, right? Yeah. So they're just like an eight minute track there. That's a little bit going off out of the box. There's a couple of those. Yeah. You know, when you say about, about all of a sudden it changes musically, Ken was funny because, because you go, hey, Ken, I don't know, or he would look at you and go, I don't, you know, you're not supposed to do this, but I'm going to do it. It was so great because he's like, musically you're not supposed to do this right here, but I'm going to do this right here. And yeah, there's a lot of layers like that. There's a lot of epic kind of songs is how I like to describe them because there's a lot going on. There's a lot of metal vocals in the chugging guitars and and telling a story. And it goes, there's a lot of things that's going on that, you know, actually goes back to early Judas Priest. Listen to, listen to Rockerola.  And guess who wrote Rockerola most of it? KK. So those were songs coming in. You hear Never Satisfied or all these songs. And it's like, there's a lot of things, you know, winter and winter freeze. There's a lot of stuff that was going on. So I think Ken just wrote how he's, he doesn't have anybody telling him in his ear what he's supposed to write or what we should do was as you do as a creative team, because he was part of the creative team. Now he's just doing whatever he wanted to do. And I think that's, that's what you can tell. Wild and free. I remember when I first made the record, it wasn't one of my favorites. Didn't dislike it, but it wasn't one of my favorites. And then when they, they tweaked it on doing the solos and then put that rule breakers hell it's beginning and the way the song starts and goes in, I'm like, and I was like, yeah, this is, it's a great live tune. He would always say, as we were in the studio or listening to him, I could see the crowd. I could see the crowd. I can hear the crowd. This is for the fans. And I, I love to hear that because that's why I do a lot of things as well. It's like, I can hear the, the people and, and you know, I love hearing it. Well, there's a lot of chanting and the songs that people haven't heard yet, you know, like those aren't made in chance. I wouldn't call them are and made them. I just call them chance in general, right? And then hail for the priest. You know, another song that's that's sort of like, again, you know, another metal song, what are a priest metal song, but then return to the Sentinel. Now here we're going into some another territory altogether, right? We're getting into like, I was trying to think, what does this remind me of? And the thing is, the only thing I could associate it with is something like out of glorious burden. That's my one of my favorite tracks on the record, the return of the Sentinel, actually. To me, it had a lot of classic priests. That one reminded me of a classic priest with a sabbathy Dio thing going on. This is the way it starts off. That first guitar riff to me, you know, return into desecration, the way it's, I have to remember this stuff because I haven't listened to it in a while. So trying to, I can't remember the song titles half the time, because I don't have a record in front of me to look at. And I never copied it out.  It sounds like something from rock or roll. I'm like, Ken, this is awesome. But that's the thing that when you write music, you're going to have so much of what you do like Ken and myself. And we've both, you know, Ken's done it for so long. And now God forbid people realize that I've been singing for 30 years now. I mean, I actually sound like myself, not somebody else. But when you hit songs like that, you know, there's a lot going on. And that's why I think you hear, you know, a nicer thing or something, because there is because it makes these changes.  And another band took it. And it just became bigger. Now, you know, you put more different things because the sensual originally look at the original Sentinel. I mean, it was, you know, it started with that beginning, then it had the speaking part and this part, it kind of had those breakdowns. Now facing one of, you know, now this kind of took that. But it's, it is, it's a big musical, a little more musical, I think, on the classic metal way, though, I think that's the difference. It's musical, but it's classic metal musical. It's not like Ken was doing something different. He just was, I think he's taken sad wings and rockerola influences and just bringing them to nowadays. Yeah. I mean, look, there's tempo changes. There's a time changes.  There's, there's phenomenal, like the musicianship is incredible off this album.  What can I do? Because they were done. All of a sudden I get a song and I go, Ken, what is that? What, what did that part come? He's like, yeah, I added that part in there. I changed songs around. So his mind started working even more. He got to sit with these songs even longer than, because it was done. It was finished, you know, in March of 2020, the album was done. And then he went, well, I got time now. I don't have to rush anything. Let me take my time.  What about, okay, I think Ken said he was already working on material for his next album. Do you want to be a little more part of that?  But now do you want to be involved? And I'm fine with what he did because he, the difference of this is you have someone who knows me and wrote it for me. You know what I mean? So whatever he was writing, it was kind of like, yeah, this is, this is what Ripper does, you know, and then he would, I would go into studio and he would go, now do you want to change that or do you want to do it? So I would change some vocal styles, change things around. Originally, Sermons at a Center, we had a lot Raspier. It was the verses were Raspie versus high notes, but Raspie, Raspie, and then I came home and we were like, hey, let's change this. Let's, let's make it clean and clear high notes versus, but this, the new record, there's no doubt he'll, he'll send me some music and I'll be able to write to it, you know, and, but I have no problem because this is his, his baby, you know, he's never done anything. I mean, he's Judas Priest.  So he's like, now he's, you know, it's like a kid in the candy store really, you know. Yeah, you've done a great job, by the way. I think your vocals are, you know, stellar on this album. It's, it's really, you know, this is like Judas Priest for me. It's just another version of it. But anyways, that's just me. Okay. I know Sean Peck is going to kill me if I don't ask you about the three tremors. So just throw something out there. Well, we, you know, that's going to be coming out that was recorded, you know, in this timeframe really basically the same time I was doing vocals and stuff for even started before that. But yeah, the second records coming out, he, it was coming out October 1st, originally, then he's like, okay, now I got to move it because you guys took October 1st. And he, we got a tour coming up, American tour in November, all November and part beginning of December when the tour America and yeah, we're excited about it, you know, we're going to start releasing some videos. It's, it's three tremors.  It's an over the top heavy metal record that that's what it's supposed to be. You know, it's not trying to please grandma and grandpa at home. Are you on tour? You're on tour. I see you got show dates, right?  I do. I do some shows here and there. I go out and do some solo shows, but three tremors doesn't start till November. Yeah, I've been doing some. I play out in Liverpool, New York. I do a little special guest appearance for somebody this weekend. And I've been doing some solo dates here and there, you know, you find that people, even the vaccinated people are feeling, you know, I don't know if I want to go, they're sort of like sitting on the fence. They're not sure if they're ready to go out yet or people are just enthusiastic coming out and at first it was people were enthusiastic and came out. I think it's a little different now. And I, I just think because they're not, you know, they're told something different every day. Anyways, whether you believe it or not, I'm, you know, I'm vaccinated. Everybody knows I'm vaccinated and I was off for wear masks. But I didn't need to go into that conversation. Don't get me wrong. But to go back to work, I have to, to figure out a way to do it. And I think I think, you know, I think one issue now is there's a lot of shows going. So I mean, the major issues.  But of course, there's going to be people.  I mean, you should stay home because I've probably known seven people that are vaccinated that had it and two of them went into the hospital. So it's, you know, I feel pretty safe. I got it and I'm ready to, I'm ready to rock. That's my whole thing. But I think if people, you know, they're not going out quite as much, but if they try to be careful, you know, that's what I always say. I mean, just try to be careful. You can go out. You can live your life. Just, just, you know, be careful and do it.  It's about the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. What about just in a few minutes that we have left? I'm sorry. Jimmy, I think people are worried. I think people are, you know, that some people still don't want to go out. I mean, and, you know, you can't disagree with them. I mean, if they don't want to go out, they don't want to go out.  So, but I think the big thing with concerts are people just, there's a lot of concerts going on.  So what's your, what's the plans for touring with KK now? Well, by then I should have my 15th vaccine. So I'll be ready. That's right. I'll be on my seventh. Okay.  Look at the cars.  Yeah. I don't know what else to do, but listen, we're ready to go, man. I mean, we, the problem is this isn't three trimmers or Tim Ripper on solo touring where we play small venues and you could just plug them in. This has to be bigger stages, bigger production. It's a new band. The record's not out yet.  I think anything, anything that's right and big enough because Ken is not playing small stages, period. That's pretty much it. He's like, listen, this is, this, you know, I'm at the end of my career. I built this up. I'm not going on and playing, you know, Bob's big bamboo or anything like that. It's gotta be. So I think supporting some big acts, some big stages, maybe some co-headlining bills, all that stuff is going to be in the works, I would think. All right. There we go. KK's priest, sermons of the center coming out October 1st via Explorer One Music Group, X1 Records. Thank you so much, my friend. Hey, listen, I see all your meal programs with Blaze, with you guys having your food and what you're eating there when Blaze is there. What's, what's the meal for me then? What are we going to have? Well, what do you like? Uh, you guys got good Indian food there? Everybody keeps asking about, yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Montreal, it's got the best food of every nationality. Well, you know what I want? I want Montreal food. Okay. Don't worry. I'll think of something. Smoke meat, Montreal smoke meat. Okay. Do you like smoke meat? Yeah. You know what smoke meat is?  I mean, I, I pretty much self-described it. What did you eat last time when you were here? Just anything, whatever the caterer gave you, right? That's it. Yeah, I probably, I probably stopped at McDonald's or something because we didn't have much time. All right. So next time when you're here, you come by and we're going to have, we're going to take that picture right in the kitchen right where Blaze is with all the food. Yeah. And we're going to have whatever, whatever I think is something that you would like that defines Montreal's food. Okay. All right. And we'll send it and we'll send a photo to Blaze and say he's a heart out. All right, Jamie. Thank you very much. Thanks, Tim. All right, buddy. Thank you.

All right guys, sorry, I know look a little busted, but I just needed to preface this video I'm very very smart and my microphone for this video fell and the entire time I was filming I didn't realize it. So the audio is like really messed up So I understand if you don't want to watch this video So just a warning the only reason I'm still getting it up is because quite frankly I don't have time to refilm it and this was the look I wore in my it cosmetics and alpha view and also my Live so at the very least I at least wanted to show you how I created that look So just a fair warning on the audio. I'm a perfectionist. I'm really bothered by the content I'm about to put out but due to lack of time Bear with me. Hey guys, what is up welcome it to my channel today We are doing a video that literally nobody asked for But I just want to do it So I'm just going to be playing with the new Colourpop Hello Kitty and Friends collection my order finally came in I ordered the whole collection So if you want to hang out with me, then just keep watching Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan I'm a prerotic knowledge enthusiast I just love knowing anything and everything about all the makeup and sharing my thoughts with you guys like I said Nobody really asked me to review this collection, but I just really like hello kitty So I want to play with it on camera. I think everything about this collection is so cute Now I ordered this the second it launched and the problem with Colourpop is it always comes out on a Friday at 1 p.m I always have a class coming in right at 1 p.m Luckily they come a couple minutes late because it's right after lunch So I was like because I teach virtually if you don't know I was like all right Why don't you guys go get the equipment that you need? I'll wait right here. You have one minute in that minute I quickly went on to Colourpop.com and I didn't want the whole collection There was some stuff that I wasn't interested in but for the sake of time just to save me the stress I ordered the entire collection So that's why I got the whole collection I actually didn't want the lip care set and the glitter set, but for the sake of time I'll just order the whole thing Right now I'm looking on the website and I can't give you any information about this collection because it's off There's nothing left except for the palette. So if you are interested in the palette This is $16. It's still available. The rest nowhere to be found disappeared doesn't even say sold out So I don't know if it's gonna come back, but if you guys don't know I'm half Asian And I feel like Hello Kitty was a bread into me So I love Hello Kitty. Obsessed with Hello Kitty had to have this collection. Let's get into it So the first thing that we have is a Hello Kitty and Friends Lip care kit. It's so cute and Wintery themed I went outside it was snowing when this came and I took some pictures in the snow and the caps are so cute and then you have a Peppermint cookie lippie scrubs. I don't love the lippie scrubs. I know my lips are oh My lips are crusty busty. That's okay Then we also got a peppermint cookie Lip mask, so I'm just gonna put this on while I'm doing the rest of my makeup Mmm, I don't think I have I try a lip mask from Colorful, I don't think so. I've used the lip scrub before but not a mask.  So in here there are four adorable Little glitters see how pretty those are now.  I'm never ever ever gonna use them. So I'm actually gonna give this away as a Christmas gift So that's going to the side But I did want to show you what it looked like the cast also have the cute little hello kitty on top Now let's go into the palette that you guys can purchase right now if you want it I mean, I don't know about right now, but you got a cute little snow globe. My heart is so happy I'm keeping these boxes. I just think it will on they did hello kitty I love it the packaging itself is the same and then you get a nice little 9 p.m Palette says slay all day and it's a nice light palette I mean, there's nothing special about this palette the collection as a whole if we're talking the makeup I mean it didn't really interest me. It was just the cute hello kitty packaging and you guys know I'm a collector I love hello kitty. That's what it was all about for me But let's play with the shadows Let me pop on a little bit more concealer right now I'm doing a wear cast between the new elf CC cream and then the good old Classic a cosmetic CC cream. So half and half elf a Cosmetics in case you want to judge right now. That video is not up. It should be up soon Let's just play with it. Like I said the colors themselves. I'm not really expecting much from I'm not really expecting you to love this Let's do Burr, baby. It's a really pretty light baby pink. I'm not gonna do a special look I'm sorry. Yes. I like I said, I'm not really moved by this palette. I just think it's cute Okay, I mean that shade is okay, and then we're gonna go in with snow globe right here I'm just gonna use the same brush. Ooh, that's got some pigment Okay, very pretty very pretty. I feel like I've had very good luck with color pop this year I know some people were saying that they have like a new formula that's not very good They've been messing around with their formulas I don't know. I feel like the stuff that it picked up from them. I haven't had any problems with I just I like their shadow formula I think it's easy. It's workable. That's great for the price Like I don't think this shadow quality is amazing by enemies, but it's a $16 palette, you know And I'm gonna take some more of snow globe. I'm just gonna run that along the whole lower lash line here Going very pink today. I'm gonna take the first brush and we're just gonna add a little bit of this peach color This is called ice skates. I'm gonna run this right along the outer edges of Both the lower part of both the crease and the lower lash line Just for a nice pop of coral. Let's just go straight in for the depth. This is called Snow wear now all the mats in here They do have that color pop glitter situation happening But it normally wipes away, but it isn't knowing when it gets all over your face So this is pulling a little bit more Very than I expected and you see like I just find their shadows workable Maybe they're not the most pigmented Maybe they don't give the most depth, but they just work now. You see how easily I was able to blend this out I'm liking this look a lot more than I anticipated.  I'm gonna take some of the igloo blues and I'm going to put this in the inner part Like so So this one doesn't give as much depth as I was hoping and it's really really powdery I'm gonna take just a touch more of ice skates Because I want more of that peach to come through. You can see it's quite pigmented I'm gonna wipe my brush off a little bit I'm gonna take cut a weather Which is a lilac shade has a little bit of a pink shift to it I wish it had a little bit more depth because the color is a bit icier than I would like Just for the specific look that I'm doing. I'm still leaving a little bit of space Okay, and now we're gonna go into winter full. This looks so pretty But I wish they were more like colorful like they're pulling too icy Like this looks like a really really icy color as opposed to a peach Pinky color and the lilac has a little bit more purple to it, but it still is like too white Like the shift is almost white as you can see So I'm actually really not too in love I'm going to reapply some depth to the inner and outer corner because the middle is So white to me. I'm actually not really a big fan of the shimmers in here They're just not what I would have put in the palette, but it is like a wintery palette. So I don't know. I don't know And then finally we're gonna go in with fuzzy mittens I really want to brighten up this area because I added too much pink. So it makes me look like I have pink eye Really really pretty look. I mean overall the look is really pretty I don't think this palette is anything to write home about like if you're not a fan of Hello Kitty I wouldn't recommend this palette only if you're a fan of Hello Kitty would I recommend it? Also in the collection. There are two blushes. I love color puffs blushes I think they're so good and they're so cute. So this first one here is at Frost site Really fun kind of bubblegum pink color The second one is bundled up which is a little bit more neutral tones I mean, I'm just I'm gonna go for the bubblegum pink But both are great color pairings with this palette like they go So well, we're gonna actually you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put this wash of pink everywhere and then I'm gonna put no, I'm not I'm just gonna buy this See and even though it like looks like an intimidating pink Do you see how pretty it is on the cheek? I really really like it It's a legitimately pretty blush, but I'm a big like pink blush fan So that's where that's coming from For the heck of it. I'm gonna take a little bit of bundled up I'm gonna put it more back here because it does have a little bit of depth compared to the original Compared to the first one That I put on kind of blend them That's a big mistake. I just think color pop has a bomb blush formula for what you're paying, you know By the way, I use a bling brush At 14 which is like such a good brush for blush All right, I'm actually gonna do highlight and lashes and all of that and then we'll be back to do the lips All right, so lashes are on all the details and we'll be down in the description box I do have the color pop a snap lip liner on this is one of my favorites So the last thing that came with the hello kitty set was the big surprise looks gloss trio I already have them out. Here's what they look like so cute and I did swatch them for you And you can see like these don't have much color. They're pretty much clear with glitter So, you know, you know, I mean they only sold them in a trio I'm just gonna put on so chili, which is the pink one and it has such cute packaging like that's that's why you purchase this Again, pretty much a clear gloss. There's not going to be any difference between any of the three That's really pretty it's just like a nice clear gloss you're gonna need a color underneath And I mean That was so kind of look I just Wanted to sit down and play with you guys and just see what this was all about My final thoughts on the collection like I don't I wouldn't recommend it I don't think there's anything special about any of the items in this collection Only buy this if you like hello kitty and you're into buying makeup for the packaging because the packaging for this is Everything the nostalgia for me makes it worth it. I do not regret the purchase at all I think my favorite thing has to be the blushes just because I think they're Legitimately good quality and legitimately good colors, but the eyeshadow palette was a the gloss trio I think it's a bit of a waste of money because there are three glosses of the same color The lip scrub set actually surprisingly is also one of my favorite things I don't need it But the flavors are really nice and my lips are Nice and moisturized and then I'm not a fan of their little glitters. So yeah, I mean there we are I just wanted to play I kind of knew My expectations weren't high I'll be honest my expectations weren't very high for this collection I'll think about the makeup itself excited me It was a packaging but the look I came out with really really cute I do really like it. So I hope you guys enjoyed hanging out with me And let me know if you have any questions about the collection at all and I will see you guys in the next one Bye guys. Have a good one


Modest swimwear. A woman wearing full-cover swimwear does laps in a pool. Shireen Sabin, founder and owner of the splash cave. 24 years ago I became a scuba diver and then three years after that I became religious and started practicing my faith. I decided to dress modestly according to my faith's principles or some would say I began to wear the hijab. But this posed a dilemma for me because I wasn't sure how I was going to continue scuba diving. Now that was covered up. She works in a studio. This experience really opened my eyes regarding the barriers to water activities that Muslim women in particular and modesty conscious women in general face. That's when I decided I wanted to contribute a solution by expanding the swimwear options in the marketplace from modesty conscious women. Based on the Islamic definition of modest dress I knew the criteria that the swimwear line had to meet and that required fabric that did not stick to the body so it had to be quick drying and it had to become unstuck from the body quickly after exiting the water. The designs had to be cut so that they were not skin tight or revealing and the colors had to be opaque so they were not transparent when wet. When I first set out to design splash gear swimsuits I knew that the concept of full-body swimwear was so alien that my sisters would experience hard stares possibly ridicule or mocking or even hostility. Armed police stand over a Muslim woman interrupting her enjoyment of the French seaside. They seem to order her to remove some of her clothes and forcing the so-called Burkini ban a prohibition of full-length swimsuits now in place in the coastal city of Nice. I am very disturbed that Muslim women have been targeted for their desire to voluntarily dress modestly and their persecution in places such France, Germany and North Africa where full cover swimwear has been banned at the pool. Why have the local mayors been banning the Burkini in the first place? Well mayors have been citing a wide range of reasons some have been citing hygienic reasons for instance a lot of them have said it's a question of public order and security given the current state of emergency that we're still here in here in France in the wake of the terrorist attacks others have gone further though and say that the Burkini is a symbol of religious extremism and thus an insult to France's state secularism. The streets of London dozens of protesters gather to express their outrage. As you can see they've set up a makeshift beach here outside the French embassy complete with inotubes, towels, lots of sand. Organizers tell me this is an act of solidarity. The women ought to be able to make their own choice about what they wear whether that be a Burkini or a Burkini. It makes no difference. Australian designer ahead of Zennetti says these politicians don't understand. She designed one popular take on the Burkini the top the bottom in the hood to promote integration. The Burkini swimsuit was born in Australia you know amongst Australian lifestyle and it was meant to integrate within the Australian society. You know we didn't want to be judged upon by a Muslim non Muslim and so forth. We're just out there to swim. Burkini is back on the beach. The band's been overturned in just one resort on the French Riviera, but it's expected to lead to the lifting of bands in all 30 coastal towns that had it in place. Francis High's court agreed with the argument that the band was a serious and clearly illegal violation of fundamental freedoms. What I would like to see throughout the world is for any woman to be free to cover up during water activities and not be denied her right to participate publicly in water recreation while wearing full covered swimwear.


No. New York Met Starter Noah Cindergart has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future, sources tell ESPN. The procedure will keep him out until at earliest, April, 2021, and likely into the summer months. Wow, what a blow. There you go. Oh, that's awful. That's why his oldest. I thought he was poised to have a gigantic ear. Of course. That's why it was such folly, Michael, about them trading mats. Because they had extra pitchers, right? So let's trade mats away. Well, you shouldn't be trading any pitchers away. Because all you are is just a Jeff Passen report away from losing a starter for the next year. That's how crazy the sport is right now with their pitchers. So I guess that's crippling. And I'm assuming, Michael, that he's not having a surgery now because that's an elective surgery, I guess, right? Well, they said in the near future. In the near future. They could find places to have surgery for these guys. I know, but is that something you want a doctor to be doing right now? I don't know, Michael. I'm just wondering if the reason he's not having it tomorrow is that they want to see where this whole thing is going. But you would think the quicker he has the surgery, the quicker he comes back. But I'm not sure people are thinking that way right now. I mean, this situation could go on for six months if you wait six months to do it. And I understand exactly what you're saying. He's going to be back till 2022. Wow. I'm just saying he's in New York right now, right? Or is he in Florida? I don't know. I mean, honestly, how do you have Tommy John surgery in New York right now where they're prepping the Javits Center to put patients in? You know, I mean, I just don't think you want to be thinking about that right now. Now, surgery has to happen. And I'm not saying it's elective surgery. It's not what he's having is Tommy John. It is not having a cosmetic surgery. I mean, it's his career. He has to have it. But I'm just saying at this particular moment when they're prepping the Javits Center for patients, is it a good idea to have it like tomorrow? Unbelievable.  So Robbie Henderson first to the Panthers and then that gets blown away by Cindergarde having to undergo Tommy John surgery. And I gotta tell you what, we live in an era now where everybody throws as hard as they possibly can. And I'm sorry, the arm does not hold up. You cannot go full bore and throw 99 miles an hour from the first through the eighth inning. We saw what happened with Severino. We're seeing what happens with Cindergarde. I think if players throw as hard as they possibly can and build up muscle, it's eventually gonna give out. The body is not built to that. A guy like Jacob DeGram, who yes, he throws hard but also has off speed stuff too. And he has that Tommy John surgery earlier. The bottom line is he could last longer. I think guys that don't throw as hard are likely to last longer than the guys that just go full bore from the first pitch to the hundredth because no Cindergarde, it's stuff was electric. Well, it's not just fast. Absolutely electric. He throws a 90 mile per hour slider. Yep. You know, so that's the stuff that you're worried about. I don't think God built the arm for that, Don. No, and you just wonder, when you sign a picture, do the Yankees just look at the nine years they gave Cole and said, we just know one of those years he's gonna miss because of Tommy John? Like do you go into that assumption? Like every picture is gonna probably have it at some point in their career. I don't know if that's what they factor in. You know, I was thinking about that too. Like say, God forbid, this whole season is missed, which isn't crazy. I'm not saying it's gonna happen but I don't think it's, I don't think it's a non-starter. I mean, it could be. Then the Yankees, even though they don't, and all likely they won't have to pay him, one of the nine years is one of his prime years he just took away. So there's a lot of factors in this. But with Cindergarde, wow, wow, that's, I love to watch that guy pitch. I just love watching him pitch. I'll tell you, usually you get the whole, well, he's not throwing right now. I would get, or maybe if he is, it's not as supervised as it was when spring training was actually on but usually you get some sort of a warning. Like he walked away, he was feeling soreness, you know, like he's gonna get double checked later on. It just went from bang, zero to 60. Perfectly healthy, planning for the season, bang, gone, for a year.


Well, hi there. I'm Sandy Alnach, artist and paper crafter here with a special video. It's Extra Long and it's an advanced technique video for art impressions watercolor. Well, this video is the first in my November series of projects. Each day I'm doing a little thankfulness prompt because I need more thankfulness in my life. So I'm hosting a little challenge. You can do Bible journaling, card making, sketching, lettering, whatever you want and the list is linked in the doobly-doo as well as over on my blog and my Instagram if you want to join in. But today's prompt, the first one, was memories. And I thought I am thankful for memories of building snowmen with my friends and my sisters when I was a kid. So I'm going to use these art impressions little kiddos who are wearing summer clothes. Notice they're wearing shorts and short-sleeve shirts and skirts and things. And I'm going to make them into winter kiddos. Now, I'm betting eventually art impressions is going to make some some winter kiddos for us, but they also have benches and boats and things that these kids are meant to be part of. But I'm going to put them on a bench, one of them on a bench, and then use the snowman for the center image. So they're going to be standing around looking at their snowmen. I have my watercolor paper that is cut out there and I also have a piece of vellum over it. And I want to show you how I'm going to set up the scene.  And she's going to sit on a bench, and then I've got the snowman. And I'm going to start by stamping the images real quickly and loosely onto the vellum. And that's going to be my guide for the whole scene that I'm doing. So I'm going to put the little girl down here in the lower right hand section. And I'm just stamping with any old color. It doesn't really matter what color you use to put these things together. You don't have to mask anything out. Just kind of get them in place. Now this bench has another leg that didn't stamp in there. So I drew that in. And I also drew a little pile of snow to remind myself to put snow on the bench. And I'm going to use just a little corner of a sticky note to mask off the feet of the little girl. So she's clearly going to be connected to the scene. I could have just had her floating out there, and you can do that. But I wanted to kind of tuck things in a little bit. Got the little boy over here on the right hand side. They're both facing inward into the snowman. So they're both looking at him. And then I'll have the snowman in a place where it looks like their heads are facing. So they're looking at him. I had done this once before and I had the snowman too low and it looked like they were all looking past him. So now I'm going to do my actual stamping. And I'm noticing that it's not quite centered. And I could move the vellum over, but I thought, you know, I'm just going to leave it because it gives me room to trim it down a little bit and do some layering of paper when I get to my finished card. So I'm going to start by stamping the image in the front. And I want to line it up on the vellum and then stamp it with a darker ink just so I can see that it actually is in the right location. And then clean off that stamp of the dark ink. And then here's the magic of making her into a little pink jacket instead of having the little overalls that she's wearing is just to ink the outside edges.  And then I'm also going to do her hair and her face. The marker colors that I'm using are going to be overlisted on my blogs if you want to see those. But generally just do what colors you want to do. And whatever markers you want to do, lots of them work. And if you've done a lot of art impressions watercolor, which if you are looking at this video and you want to try it, I recommend doing some much simpler things first because this is kind of a really super advanced technique. And those of you who are ready to do that already kind of have an idea of what's going to be happening here. You'll know what kind of paper works best for you and what kind of markers work best. But I'm going to be using the art and graphic twin markers. These are the zig like markers. They have the zig kind of colors and properties, but a different nib on them. So notice that I just kind of paint it in her whole jacket area instead of kind of trying to make overalls or anything. Just painted it as a blob of color. Put some color onto the block so that I could pick some matching color up with my brush to be able to paint in more color. And then I can pull in some yellow and some browns for her hair as well. I'm okay doing both of these at the same time because the two parts of the image don't touch. But since I'm going to be doing another step or two, I wanted to heat set this just so it kind of stays put and doesn't get too mushy. I'm going to stamp over top again and look at the parts that change. I put a darker edge on kind of her outer edges on her two elbows. And then there's the two sides that you can actually take your marker and add a little bit extra in. So the two areas where her back goes up between her arms, you can fill in any areas. I added extra stamping around her hair as well. And now I'm just going to add a scarf. And it just a matter of filling in where her neck was and adding whatever color kind of scarf that you want. And then a little bit of it hanging out the other side so it's clear that it's a scarf. Heat set that before you put the vellum on. Don't ask me how I know that. Because I said I did have to do this twice. It was a lot of work to do it twice. But the first one I went through the whole process to practice it. Now here I goofed up something because I thought I was masking out the top of the bench and I didn't. So I decided I was just going to plow ahead and see if I could get this to work anyway. Make it look like a thicker bench. Because normally I would like to have wiped out that top line so that that would be the snow. But I'm just going to add more snow on top of the whole thing. And by the time it was all said and done I was okay with it. So you can see me trying to make sort of a wiggly line out of the top of it so that it'll look like there's snow kind of hanging over the edge of the wood. That kind of thing. Use my heat gun to dry it. And then I have this really light blue marker. And you can use a light one if you're just kind of sketching things in. And then use darker colors when you get to that point if you need to. So here's the other little girl. Her foot is still going to be touching that corner of the bench. So I'm going to again want to mask out just that corner so that her boots don't stamp in there. So I'm going to do just her boots and her hair first. So this is one of those images where you can do just certain parts of it and watercolor certain parts. So I added tops to her boots. Those are supposed to be naked feet but they are boots instead. And they've drawn them large enough that they'll survive as that. So now we've got hair and boots and I'm going to dry those because I don't want any of the other parts that touch them to pull that black color in. I'm going to do the same thing again with her clothing. And I'm going to color just the outside edges so that I can start making a little bit of a jacket out of that and get rid of those short sleeves. I'm also going to give her a green hat on top of her head. So I didn't color the brim of the hat. So on something like this I got a little bit, I have a little bit too much of that inside. I ended up coloring that sleeve with the marker. So I'm going to have to do a little bit extra coloring. And depending on what markers you're using and how well they lift, you may end up having to just wait a little bit longer, let the marker stay in there so that it will soften that. You can add more pigment to it, make it a little bit darker. And it eventually did cover up the fact that I left that sleeve in there. But you want to be careful when you're doing that. You may want to, if you're going to try this technique practice, doing just the images separately for a little bit before you try making a whole scene because it's a little much. You can easily screw one part up and then feel tragically upset that you haven't got the rest of it working perfectly. So I'm going to make her hand pink and her skirt pink. So that's going to be her gloves and her skirt. And then add a little pom pom on top as well as a scarf. So our little girl is all dressed now for winter. And I'm going to once again go in and firm up some of the spots, not all of them, but a few of the lines like on her back and the back of her legs, that kind of thing. I can stamp over top of that because I'm leaving it in the misty. If you don't have a misty, I don't know how you can get the stamp positioning exact to go back into place this way. But you can just draw those things in with markers rather than stamping them again. So I've got some darker pink going and I thought I'd add some darker pink to the little girl who's sitting down.  And that then started to hide the fact that I still got that little sleeve kind of under her jacket a little bit showing. So that didn't bother me once I was done with all that. It's got it all dried so I could test out that my little boy is in the right place and I stamped his boots in his hat.  He's not going to wear a winter hat because he's a boy and boys wear their baseball hats all year round. So there you go. Stamped his blue jeans and then his jacket and he's going to wear a brown jacket. So same deal as before. Just going to color the jacket with enough, you know, going back and forth with it to try to eliminate some of those lines. Add more color to it and that sort of thing until it starts to feel more like a jacket. For some of them you might want to make it look puffier so make the area look larger but if you're going to re-stamp over something then you're kind of confined to where the stamping will be. So they wouldn't be able to wear big heavy ones. So here I was trying to add a green scarf and green gloves and when I stamped it I realized I had gone outside of where that little stamp line would be around his gloves. So I just brought his scarf down lower because I should have stamped the gloves first and I didn't. So there you go. But isn't this fun the way it's progressing? Kind of enjoyed this whole process. So check to see that my snowman is where it's going to be and anything that needs masks like right by that little girl's head. And I stamped him in that very lightest blue color and one of the reasons is because see those buttons? They have like a little area that you can make a shadow around them.  But if you do it in the blue first then you can put just a little bit of the black in later just in the center of the hole and then you end up with smaller little black rocks in the low guy. But again remember constantly to be heat setting in between as you're starting to add more layers because you don't necessarily want to go too crazy. So here you can say I'm firming up some of the areas with the stamping. I did first the left side of the snowman with the darker blue and then the hat and then the eyes and the buttons down his shirt and stuff. Adding more color to them. Picking up color from my little block palette and just slowly working on the different colors. Decided he would wear a nice simple blue scarf because the only other blue in this was the little boy's blue jeans. So this will bring some of that color in and smooth all of that out with the brush. Add a little blue band onto his hat there and then he of course there's a space missing for something and I'm guessing that's probably for Holly. So I put a little green Holly there and since I had some green on my brush I had a little to his scarf as well. So now I've got a couple of blues ready for the snow. There's that really light blue and if you're trying to sketch things in that really light blue will work really nicely to be just a soft color but you can also do it just with water. Just put some water down and then drop some snow color in. The cool thing about snow is that it's just crunchy mushy shadows of snow. So I'm putting definite shadows underneath each child and under the bench and then for this on one side of the snowman so that we have some definite shadows. The rest of it can just be footprints. So I'm going to add footprints and I forgot I was going to add a little bit of the a little heavier color in the snow on the left hand side of the snowman so we have a more distinct type of shadow going and then I will be working my way down to adding footprints in the snow because these kids have obviously been running around a whole lot and you don't end up with a nice smooth area around a snowman. So why not add a whole bunch of little footprints. Don't add too many but enough so that you you know you kind of have this cacophony of color down there which makes it really fun. The stamp set has some little branches but they wouldn't fit in this area the way I'd done it. They're bigger than I needed them to be so I just drew my own in just some sticks. I did it first in a light brown and then added a little tiny bit of a dark brown as well so they'd have a little differentiation in them and I didn't use my brush on them at all so they'd stay kind of sharp.  Now if you're an Art Impressions fan and you also do Bible journaling you're going to want to pay attention on Sunday. I have a video coming up on my YouTube channel for Bible journaling and I'm going to show you how to use these stamps without any page prep and no bleeding through and I'm going to show you how to do it in my workbook. This is the workbook that came out with the book recently very exciting that we can practice on things but you can see I've done some things that did bleed through and I found a technique that did not, yoo-hoo, very excited about that because I don't like page prep but I do like my Art Impressions stamps. So there you go. Stay tuned for that. I'll have a link in the doobly-doo for that eventually and in the meantime go make something beautiful and wonderful and don't forget to click the like button on your way out of my channel and I'll see you guys later on. Take care. Goodbye.


Okay.  But one thing about me is I love shoes. And hi, Mike, here's my shoe store. You came just in time. I wouldn't got shoes just for this, right? But how am I going to show them? So, so I wanted to show everyone what I would be wearing if I was in Minneapolis today, because they're just so spectacular, right? So anyway, that's my shoe story. And that's why they're back there. So yeah, great choice. Oh, thanks, Mike. He says he's seen the shoes. It's time for him to leave. Okay. So I am going to get started because my, I have a lot of content because I'm, I just want to share everything with everyone because I'm so passionate about the topic. And I'm always, I always run out of time. So I'm just going to start sharing. But it's kind of weird, right? I'm like looking around for the red button, you know, Kevin's red button. I do want to preface my talk with there are some accessibility issues with this presentation. I do have images on my slides. Most are decorative. If, but if they do have supporting information, I'll be sure to describe them. And just so those people who can't see them for whatever reason, get that supporting information. And then also there's this really neat feature I like to share that Google Slides has captioning. And since there's no live captioning here on this, in this room, I wanted to turn on captioning and show you where they are. If you go right here and you hit the caption button, Google Slides will start captioning for you. And that feature helps different people for different reasons. And I'll talk about that as more in in depth later in the presentation. I miss Barack. He says we're at a time in our country's history that inclusive language is better than exclusive language. I also, before I really get in depth with this presentation, I want to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Elone lands, specifically the Mutsun region where I live. That's where I'm presenting today in Hollister California in San Benito County. And this acknowledgement really is to demonstrate a commitment to help work out and dismantle the ongoing legacies of colonialism. And if you want to ask me about that, you're welcome to. For those of you that don't know me, my name is Amy June. That's one word, not Amy, but Amy June. And for you programmers out there, that's title camel case. I use the pronoun sheet and her. And I am the open source community ambassador and quality assurance engineer for Canopy Studios. I want to give you a little bit of my background to help you understand where I'm coming from with the things I talk about. Along with Carrie Fisher from Deque and Donna Bungard from Canopy, I help organize a monthly chat called Ally Talks A11Y TLKS. It's a virtual online meetup where we have speakers and guests discuss all things accessibility. And then I'm a hospice nurse by trade. So I understand how some users of technology struggle with small tasks, even email, because I believe that all information should be accessible. And then a little bit about me in the community. I mentor and train at various camps all over the country. And I help on community working groups, community health team. I work with Canopy. They bring me here today. We are an open source website agency. We specialize in data driven intelligence solutions. We design, build and support websites for clients who want to make a positive impact because that's really important. The expo hall still opens. If you want to go over there and go to the booth, you have a chance to win a gift card for Lego set. That's pretty exciting. And we're also hiring. And if you want more details about jobs that we have out there, you can find more on our website. So who are you? You can introduce yourselves in the chat window. I'm not watching the chat window, but everyone can see who else is here. We're project managers. Maybe you work in sales.  You're the communicators, right? And your allies. So what's inclusion? Inclusion can mean different things to different people. There's inclusion on a personal level. There's inclusion on a community level. And there's inclusion on a global level. And what does it mean to have an inclusive content strategy? So I want to talk a little bit about the words diversity and inclusion. Sometimes these words are lumped together, and they're assumed to be the same thing. But that's not the case. In the workplace, diversity equals representation. Because without inclusion, the connections that attract all those various types of talent and encourage their participation, and the things that foster creativity and lead to business growth just won't happen. Diversity is more focused on tracking characteristics and identities. It's more of an invitation for people who've previously been excluded based on gender or sexual orientation, ability, age, ethnicity, or any other characteristic that people are labeled with. On the slide, I say that it refers to the vast array of human differences. Whereas inclusion refers to the intent of the individuals or systems to actively include and support this vast array of differences. Inclusion is about welcoming and embracing everyone, embracing that diversity because of all of those benefits it brings, right? It amplifies marginalized voices and ideas. It really comes down to that inclusion exercises diversity. It's a conversation that's deepened by diversity. And this is an iteration of a talk I've been giving for a while now. And I wanted to change it up a little bit for DrupalCon. I wanted to change some of my quotes. But I couldn't change this one because it just explains things so well. I'm going to turn it over to Verna Meyers. She's a public speaker. She says that diversity is being invited to the party where inclusion is being asked to dance. So again, that means that diversity alone doesn't drive that inclusion. And when you don't have that inclusion, there's often that diversity backlash. And for underrepresented communities, it's the difference between being tolerated and being pressured for your parts. And you know, this is a talk about content. So what does it mean to have meaningful content? Who are our readers? Of course we have target audiences for some of our content. But really, most copy and content should be for everyone. And everyone should be able to access that. And having that meaningful content means that assumptions. This is something I'm passionate about because assumptions create barriers. We shouldn't assume a person's political stance. We shouldn't assume their socioeconomic class. We shouldn't assume abilities. Remember, as we get older, everyone becomes a little bit more disabled. Our hearing and sight can deteriorate over time. And then think of temporary or situational disabilities. And I tell this story, many of you know that I've had a broken arm in the past. And I use a computer for my daily work. And using a mouse was difficult. And so I learned keyboard navigation really quick. And I learned how inaccessible a lot of things were just having that broken arm. But there's also thinking of the user on a plane that forgot their headphones. And they want to use closed captioning. People could be recovering from LASIKs. They could be using the smartphone or a tablet outside in the bright sunshine. And then as humans, we need to be sure that we understand that not every disability can be seen. There's fatigue. There's learning differences. There's mental health disorders. There's debilitating pain, as well as those hearing and vision impairments that a lot of people think of. More common assumptions that people make are ones around gender identity, sexuality, and pronouns. And remember that gender, sex, and sexual identity are all different things. So be aware of the language we use surrounding the use of pronouns. And this is something I just learned in the last year is, you know what, they're not a person's preferred pronouns. They're just people's pronouns, period. So if you want to ask me questions about that after the talk, I have lots of words to say that. But using that word preferred really alienates some people. So inclusive language. Let's take a look at inclusive language. Increasing the inclusivity of our language means striving to understand the ways that language often unconsciously makes assumptions about people.  It can unintentionally, and it's not deliberate all the time. It's usually unintentional, but it can reinforce those dominant norms around gender, sexual orientation, ability, disability, race, age, and all of those other things that people can be labeled with. So just think about that. Our words can unintentionally reinforce dominant norms. Able-less language. Me working in the healthcare industry for years, I'm very sensitive to this. Lots of my friends have different skills and different abilities. And able-less language is any word or phrase that basically devalues people who live with disabilities. Often inadvertent, able-less language suggests that people with disabilities are abnormal. So use people first language. And I have a whole slide coming up where I talk about this. I'm not going to go through every example, but I'll go through a couple. We want to make sure that we use people first language. So use people with disability instead of the disabled. But saying that, we want to be sure that we use the language that people prefer. Even the word disability is no longer universally accepted. We should use person-centered language, like I said. We should avoid negative or demeaning language for people who live with disabilities. For example, people living with AIDS rather than AIDS victims. People who use wheelchairs rather than invalid or confined or wheelchair-bound. It's become all too common to use descriptive words like crazy, dumb, manic or lame in the workplace or even in personal conversations. Using terms like this might seem harmless, like crazy. But giving that word, that negative value, can marginalize some folks. Like I said, there's a lot on the slide. So I'm not going to go over them. But OCD is one I hear a lot from folks in our community. Obsessive, compulsive disorder is a illness that means so much more than just a knack for being organized. It's an obstacle for some folks. They struggle through it every day. There's always a replacement. So use words like clean or organized instead. And then another aspect of inclusive language is being sure that our words are gender neutral. Use words that encompass all genders rather than only two. Because there aren't just two genders. So use words that encompass all genders. And this can apply to nouns, titles and names and pronouns. So here's another list. I'm not going to use all of them, but I'm going to go through some that I hear a lot. It's simply not okay to use gendered introductions for a diverse group of individuals. The words may seem benign, but if someone is annoyed when they hear hey guys, we hear that a lot, don't we? Hey guys. Then the polite thing to do is to call them something else. It's a language shift. Use folks or people rather than hey guys. Me and my friends have taken to correcting ourselves when we say it to say hey party people. That way it calls attention to among our group when we use the word guys. And it's kind of fun. But using words like staff rather than man, man the booth. Go between rather than middlemen. And then everyone instead of women and men, children instead of boys and girls, siblings or kindred instead of brothers and sisters. So our language is littered with symbolism of white as a positive and black as a negative. So there's a lot of unintentional slurs that are littered through our language as well. Cultural racism using terms like culturally deprived or economically disadvantaged or what's the other one underdeveloped. Those are all words that kind of warp the truth and frame sort of a sense of superiority. So be mindful when you use that kind of language. And then here's another list. And in the PDF that I thought each of these has a link to it, but if you go to that GitHub repository, there's links in there because I'm not going to go over all of these because I just want to frame a couple of them. Let's eliminate using the word colored when we're describing people of color. That's more of a widely accepted umbrella term that includes any non-white person people of color. Gypped. I was guilty of this until a few years ago. Comes from the word gypsy, which refers to Romanian people who are often unfairly and uncharacterized as swindlers. Ghetto is suspected to derive from the Italian word for waste and that dates back to the concentration camps of World War II. But in the last decade, couple decades, it's been used to marginalized communities that have forced, it's been used to label the communities in which marginalized communities were forced to inhabit due to perhaps socioeconomic disadvantage. So classism and racism come into the picture when you call a place or a person ghetto. And then there's the idea of privilege when it comes to our language. We want to use language that doesn't assume a certain level of education. For example, we shouldn't assume that everyone has graduated from high school or college, especially in our industry. We see that a lot of job descriptions will call for a degree when we don't really need it. We can't make the assumption that everyone will go to college after high school either. We don't want to use language that assumes a certain level of financial means or a certain sort of vocation. We can't assume that everyone in the room is employed or has a stable living condition or can even afford to meet their basic needs. Maybe they work the first shift. Using phrases like real job and honest living can really be problematic by perpetuating discriminating against certain sects of our labor force, right? And as the internet opens up to more people, we enter this realm of having a world stage, look global Drupalcon. And English as a second language can be a privilege or a situational privilege. So this is something to keep in mind when we think about folks who consume our content as well. And that is one of the reasons not alone with people who might not be able to hear me of why I use captions because some people can parse that a little bit better when it's written. And part of inclusion really is accessibility because it's everyone, right? How do we embrace accessibility? First, we have to understand what it means. And in the context I'm going to talk about today, it's about rich engaging content that is accessible to everyone. Oh, your folks are reading about tipping point. Yeah, that one was a new one to me. Temple Grandin, great person. She is the American professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She's a consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior and she's an autistic spokesperson. She was really one of the first individuals to speak out and publicly share her insights from her personal experience of autism. And I love this quote too and I keep it in all my accessibility talks because differences aren't quantifiable and she says I'm different, not less. So being accessible means everyone can readily access what you're offering. I'm going to be talking specifically about content today, but that means services and venues. It means everything. I'm going to say that again. It means everyone can readily access what you're offering. And inclusion is not giving special privileges. It's about making sure that those barriers are gone, that those barriers are removed, right? So what makes our content accessible? There's four broad parameters that we must consider when making our content accessible. And I'm going to take a drink first. So we want to be sure that we make our content easy to see, that we're accommodating folks' visual needs. We want to make sure that people can interact with our content so we accommodate motor needs. We want to make sure that it's easy to hear or there's replacements so we accommodate auditory needs. And then we want to make sure that we make things easy to understand so we accommodate cognitive needs as well. We want to make the experience as equivalent as possible regardless of anything that we can't control. And this comes to like computer size, tablet size, phone operating system, all of those things. So let's look at some numbers. Accessible code may be imperative for inclusion, but all the code in the world doesn't do any good if folks can't access the content. So let's look at some numbers. Accessibility is essential for developers and organizations that want to create those tools and those high quality websites. We don't want to exclude anyone from using our products and services. And according to the Center for Disease Control, 26 percent of Americans live with a disability. That's one in four people. And this stat is old for my slide deck. This was probably written about a year and a half ago. And that was 61 million people a year and a half ago. DQ reported, did a report that said that 70 percent of sites are inaccessible and retailers are estimated to lose 6.9 billion annually to accessible competitors. Okay. So it's all right to admit that your past self wasn't equipped with the sufficient knowledge, right? The thing to do now is to move forward. And we as content authors and designers and coders and basically humans need to go beyond that empathy to include every community as participants in our content strategy solutions, right? Everyone's hungry to be part of the process in the creation of our world. It's really not fair. Well, that isn't the right way to say it. People want to be seen as equal participants and not after thoughts. I'm going to say that again, I think. People want to be seen as equal participants and not after thoughts. So I'm going to talk about some common pieces of copy. And this isn't everything. These are just some things that we see in our industry. Student admission pages. There are some folks here I saw in the chat from the high ed world. So let's look at student admission pages. Do your pages represent your school? Stereotype threat. That refers to the risk of confirming negative stereotypes about a person's racial, ethnic, gender or cultural group. Tokenism? Tokenism simply gives the illusion of equality without really having it. According to Miriam Webster, it's the practice of doing something such as hiring a person who belongs to a minority group only to prevent criticism and give the appearance that people are being treated fairly. I want to stress that word, the appearance that people are being treated fairly. So with that tokenism, make sure that your imagery aligns with your population. And only make reference to personal attributes or characteristics to a people when it's relative. There's no reason to mention anything about a person if it doesn't provide a specific context. Hiring practices. Let's go back to that people first aspect. Words sometimes in tech job descriptions can skew towards more a gendered interpretation and discourage people from applying. So we want to make sure that we avoid gendered language and male-oriented titles like hacker or ninja. Again, these seem benign but they're not. Using insider language in your job act makes it easier for applicants to feel like outsiders and keep them from applying. So keep your language simple and straightforward and don't expect people to know every aspect of your company's culture before having the chance to really experience it. You can bring a little compassion in your job ads by thinking about the perks and benefits that matter the most to different types of people. You can include financial and work life offerings, things like parental leave even. If you have an office, which I hope most of you don't these days but when we're back in offices, is there a quiet space for our neurodiverse friends, someplace where they can take a break? Do we accommodate for people's disabilities? Are your doors wide enough for wheelchairs? Do you offer benefits that cover domestic partners? Culture fit. This is a weird one. The likelihood that a job will be able to conform and adapt to the core values and collective behaviors that make up a company, that's weird. Companies are discovering that looking for that cultural fit doesn't really promote inclusion. So folks are changing the language a little bit, you know, to have values aligned so like culture ads. The words in your EEO, your equal employment opportunity statement which often appear in our job postings, are often the words that candidates measure us by, right? But those EEO statements are only meaningful if they reflect the truth. Going back to that tokenism, you know, we really want to promote what we believe in and what we practice. So code bases and archives. And I'm just going to kind of gloss through these. And I see Drupal doing this. And we're stripping our code bases and our archives and our documentation of harmful language. You know, words like whitelist and blacklist are being replaced by allowed and denied. The term master and servant are being replaced by parent and child. Pronouns. We haven't seen pronouns in a while in our documentation, which is great. But instead of using he or she, we're using they or the user. And I want to flip back into the accessibility and I want to go beyond alternative text. That's what a lot of folks think about when they think of accessibility. How do we make sure that our content is accessible and inclusive for everybody? One thing we can do is provide structure to our pages, you know, have sections and nested heading orders, making sure our pages are predictable and consistent from page to page so people know how to navigate your site. And really that comes down to when you first build your site, we don't want things to be afterthoughts. Coming down to designing our site. So making sure our color contrast is good. Our font sizes are good. Your links are distinguishable. Just underline your links, people. Who cares? But if you can't handle underlining your links, make sure that there's two distinctions that makes them different from everything else on the page. Not just color. Make them bold, italicize, do anything. Readability. We want to write at the ninth grade reading level. Avoiding long sentences. Two to three sentences per paragraph and keeping our sentences short. We want to use plain language. Avoiding jargon. I saw someone say something about, I think, readability.gov in the chat. You know, use plain language. Don't use jargon. Bullets and number lists can break up your content. And then our imagery. And I'll talk about this in the next slide. Providing captions and subtitles and providing text alternatives.  Provide captions that are succinct and to the point. Provide alternative text. Even for events like presentation, describe the images or video as needed.  Describe the pictures. Ensure that the readers aren't missing out on any of the content. And subtitles. Subtitles are lines of text. And you can see that, well, these are captions. But subtitles are lines of text that appear on basically the speech on the screen. Captions can either be opened or closed. Open captions are always in view and cannot be turned off. Whereas closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewer. Captioning has universal design benefits for people other than those with hearing impairments. You know, people who use, whose language might not be, or whose primary language might not be English and they can read this to help parse the language a little bit better. And then again, people in situational things like people in busy airports or health clubs and sports bars. And I'm just going to fly through this. I want to talk about presentations. How do we make our presentations more accessible? We want to make sure that they're easy to see. So we address those visual needs. We want to make sure that the folks in the back of the room, not necessarily here, they want to see the show too. So use large fonts and color contrast. Again, describe those images and videos. Make it easy to hear. Address those auditory needs. Make transcripts and captions available. And I'll talk about these in the next slide. Some venues include live captioning. We didn't have that in all the rooms here. So that's why I have the captioning on here. And what I do for my presentations is I leave the bottom section of my slides empty for when the closed captionings go on. That way that closed captioning doesn't skew any of the content. We want to make sure that we address visually induced motion sickness vins. So we want to avoid rapid slide transitions, flashing lights, animations. Animated backgrounds and parallax can be problematic. Gifts can be a distraction, especially when the slide is left on for any amount of time. Because some types of rapid motions and patterns can induce seizures. And then we want to address those cognitive needs as well. Dyslexia is an example. You want to avoid those big blocks of text on our slides. Break up that content. Much as we do on the web pages with bullet points, make it easy to read digestible chunks. And use friendly fonts. For more information, my friend Carrie Fisher, she wrote the ally style guide. That's A11Y style guide. Carrie Fisher, you can look that up on the internet. It's a great guide for making everything accessible. So there's some other gotchas. Acronyms in general. Acronyms and abbreviations can muddle clarity. And screen readers don't recognize them. They generally read them as if they were all one word. For unusual abbreviations and acronyms, provide a key with their meaning. Using a period between letters and an acronym can help screen readers parse them. When writing alt tags with acronyms, add spaces between the characters sometimes. There's the HTML tag abbreviate. The acronym tag was actually deprecated in HTML5. So let's look at BLM. For years, BLM meant Bureau of Land Management. But now it can mean something different. It can mean Black Lives Matter. So making sure that we provide a key to what our acronyms mean really helps people with the value and the meaning. Numerums are number-based words. That's one example where the letters between the first and the last are replaced. Accessibility is a numerum. You've got the A and the Y and the 11 letters that it replaces A11Y. In our industry, we use internationalization a lot, I18N. And we do that for two reasons, because of the S and the Z factor, the different spellings. Form fields can leave people behind. Think about the gender field.  I mean, when I see that, I like exit websites now. Again, why are there only two choices? Name fields, some don't allow special characters. Some of us have hyphenated names. And then some of us have longer names. So be mindful of having that maximum character account in their name fields. So great, right? Your website's contents inclusive, right? It is, right? Did we remember everything? Let's look at social media. Back in 2017, WebAIM conducted a survey of screen readers of almost 1,800 screen readers, users, only 88% of those users used a screen reader on their mobile phone or tablet or handheld device. But only 54% of those people found social media somewhat accessible. And all of us live with these things, right? They're in our hands all the time. This is how a lot of higher eds communicate with our students. This is how we check Slack. Social media's there, and it's not going away. Nearly 200 colleges based federal civil rights investigations in 2019 on whether their sites were accessible. And not only higher ed folks, but everyone should have standards regarding social media accessibility and work on training and communicating with staff members to take advantage of built-in accessibility tools at some of these platforms like YouTube or Facebook or LinkedIn offer. Hashtags. We want to use capital letters, like Amy June, title camel case, to break up our hashtag. This makes it easy for people to read. And it also helps people who use assisted technology. It helps parse those words. It really comes down to readability. Because remember that Twitter doesn't distinguish between cases in our searches. For example, searching Black Lives Matter with all lower case and then having the B, the L and the M capitalized, they'll return the same results. But having said that, if your hashtag is short, then lower case is more acceptable. Links should still be described and given context on social media. People want to know where they are going. Where are you leading them? And then images. You provide alternative images on your website.  And a lot of those social media platforms have settings that allow you to do this. You just kind of have to dig in. And of course, be mindful of retweeting information that's not accessible. This is my favorite one. This is a few years ago, you know, this all lower case, there were people that share was dead, right? Because you can read this two different ways. Now that share is dead, or now thatcher is dead, it really boiled down to that capitalization. Emojis and emoticons, everyone seems to love them. But you know what? Screen readers love them so much that they read every single one of them. And there's a picture up here of a tweet where every other, well, between every word is an emoticon. Can you imagine a screen reader reading that? They read every single one of them. And that can be cumbersome and problematic. But this also applies to emoticons and that we place next to our handles and our Slack profiles and in our email subject lines. So be aware, if you want to use a lot, save them to the end. Because if you have a lot within your text, you're going to lose some readers because they're just going to get frustrated and leave your page. Digital blackface refers to non-black folks claiming black identities online or to non-black folks using black people and gifts or memes to convey their thoughts or emotions. Just as most companies wouldn't tolerate a white person taking the stage in blackface, there shouldn't be any tolerance of this in online spaces as well. White people using blackface reaction and gifts and means is sort of dangerous because we're going back to perpetuating black stereotypes, you know, think of sassiness or anger or excitement. It turns those black emotions into comedy for the pleasure of white people's use. So the problem lies in the ways that black individuals have been and still are exploited by the media for humor. So be aware of that. And the more you know, right, move forward. But now what? If you have the privilege to change your language because you have the ability, the resources and the cognitive ability, consider becoming more aware. Well, don't just consider, I would say do it, but I'm not that sort of authoritative person. But be aware of how your everyday language can perpetuate all those ableist, gendered and racial ideas and values. This is a great fortune. Begin. The rest is easy. I pulled this out of a fortune cookie 18 years ago. I have it taped to my external monitor. That first step is always the hardest. But once you just do it, it really does become part of your practice. So set a good example for folks. Be an ally. Make your presentations, your venues, your copy accessible. There's tools to help with content. Use accessibility checkers. There's many free resources. I have a couple slides down. I talk about them some more. Many people are using their pronouns. They're adding them to their public profiles and email signatures. I see a lot of them in our chat next to people's names. And that helps really normalize those gender identities and conversations around them, right? But with saying that, I want to talk a little bit, and I know I'm really close on time, the calling out culture versus calling in. Calling out is the idea of publicly letting someone know when their values or their language don't align. And this behavior can be oppressive. It often shuts people down. It's a shaming culture and it's often amplified on the internet. And it makes conversations sort of horizontal. They shut down conversation and it makes folks fearful of being targeted. Well, if we call in, it can take the form of like a private conversation or a DM and really be a time for education. Because folks make mistakes. We're often unaware that we caused harm. And calling in can really be more of a productive dialogue. The other day I saw this, when you correct someone, if we miss you, someone's pronouns, say thank you and not sorry. I thought that was a really good language addition. So I want to talk about education and training a little bit because our content authors are really rad people. They're active participants. A lot of times they're more hands on than the front end developers or the back end developers in the long run. They're in that site day to day. We train our coders and we train our designers to ensure that they understand accessibility. Well, we really need to do that with our content editors, too. They can be educated in much the same fashion. And companies really should invest in that training for our content editors. We can set up wizzy wigs with styles that they're encouraged to use, put in tool tips, all that kind of stuff. Be trained in the importance of structure and contrast, consistent use of links and themes and images. And in that GitHub repository, there's links to all of these. But there's the Hemingway, Grammarly, Text.io, Gender Decoder for Job Ads, Alex, Readable. A lot of these have checkers that can check for subtle linguistics around gender and check for passive voice, acronyms, age, ability bias. And then there's some accessibility tools, right? I really enjoy the site-improved browser extension. That's my favorite one. And then what is inclusion? Going back to that first slide, inclusion can mean different things to different people. There's inclusion on the personal level, the community level, and the global level. And in the last minute, I really want to iterate that it's doubtful you'll be called out for being too considerate. Not being aware of your communication is a very quick way to lose your audience. They can get hurt by your message and feel excluded. So if you can choose between language and accessibility features on your website that leaves people behind versus changing that behavior that upsets no one, why wouldn't you choose not to upset no one? Why wouldn't you default to that neutrality, right? So language is a powerful thing. So be mindful of it because we don't want our language to perpetuate ableist, gendered, racial values and ideas around that. And with that, because I've taken up all of your time, I want to thank you. I am Volkswagen Chick on all of the things. And I see the question about sharing my slides. And if you go to the link there, canopy.com slash Drupal.com slash 2020, you can download slides. But they're also up here. And I'll post the link if I can get into the window. And then the get have repository with the supplemental links are here. And I'm so sorry that I took all, well, I'm not sorry that I took up all your time, but I'm sorry that maybe some of you had questions that I couldn't get to. But again, I am always available to talk Volkswagen Chick and LinkedIn on Twitter, and on Drupal.org. And then I'm going to close it with Contribution Day is tomorrow. I help mentor people who may be new to contributions or need a refresher. It's free, you don't need a ticket. So if your kids want to learn how to contribute back to Drupal, if that presentation this morning inspired you to include your kids, get them to Contribution Day tomorrow and we'll help them out. So thank you, everyone, and enjoy the rest of Drupal.


Yeah, oh my will still from him. Thank you. Ah, he's broke Okay Yeah, the League of Legends ad popped up. Hello. No, Mel How was your Monday? Hey, it's a peddler.

Come in if thou darest if thou darest the cat says all I Honor thee my quarry. I've been looking at other games on here already. So that's pretty bad But as a streamer, that's kind of good. I want I want to I want to get through this first and then I know Zelda's gonna take a long time for me And then after that I got like ps4 games. I want to play I got I got horizon zero dawn I'm be honest with y'all the reason why The reason why I didn't want to I didn't play the ps4 games because I didn't feel like re-hooking up my capture card And now that it's hooked up. I'm willing to play the ps4 games again. It was kind of a pain to do You have to unhook all that stuff to get my um cuz I'm limited on USB slots So I'd unhook all of that to get my What is that Just flying popcorn I had to I had my track. I are hooked up for League dangerous So I had to unhook all that stuff and re is Lots of cables and crawling and stuff. I also want to switch, but I also want a laptop to play games on I also want to save money It's part from Rick and Morty. I don't remember for it. I just recently watched Rick and Morty Fart well, let's see if the dancer can do anything with them And he's weak to that And he's wow. He's broken the cloud. No, let's do it Everybody's broken now Cost me 20 BP, but it was worth 20 SP. I don't know what cloud that is Weird letting my arrow fly in true you let the near arrow fly in true Well, that's not what I wanted to happen, but okay What is he weak to chat he's dead now what the heck is going on coming if thou darest We're gonna summon a lizard man for you guys Well, that didn't do much He's not vulnerable to that Let's see if you got any money. Thank you 120 bucks these bats are loaded chat. They're loaded. Yeah, sure. I love that. Thank you so much I'm not even joking man. I love that. Thank you. She steals and she's just playing about it She's like, thank you. It's a stab stabby stabby until he dies Well, unless it's you then we'll summon one day Those bats are loaded to be stealing from them Everybody's leveling up They fly so they got money. I know right. Have you seen these air rates? They gotta be loaded up empowering earring Well, I'm putting that on right now On who though you I gotta get some more accessories. I haven't been buying those This is why I came back. There were some areas I didn't get That's exactly no mail that It's so obvious. It's obviously a great sound for that and I'm gonna do it I just got to capture it a nice clean version of it Hello, we'll do it right now. We'll do it right now. Oh Crap, I have to turn the music off to do it. I guess But I want to capture a really clean version of it and I'm gonna put it on bits and donations So good It's so good. All right, let's donate BP to Uh, yeah him thank any I am ready Moonlight on you What next you're broken Now for the warrior Each bat I grow strong. Okay. I think that's everything now I think I can I think I can jet now Not before I get another battle Oh, I want to capture that thing in the front. What's that? Killer bug. Oh, you're coming with me the moonlight. You don't know it yet Let's do this you won five dollars on the first scratch card.  You don't want to go into a meat coma Do it warrior you Don't kill him. I need to capture him. Okay. He's not dead Letting the hunt beginning letting the capture this guy's stubborn. All right Okay Like apples You can use them. You can capture the hunter captures the bugs and you can or captures the things and you can use them in fights Thank you. Thank you. Let's in the hunt beginning I didn't see if I got anything. I don't think I did though. All right So I'll go the beast lore you do summon beasts all of these beasts here that you see in this list I captured From somewhere Yeah, we're getting them come here Oh, he's four strength Oh, yeah, here we go. Oh, yeah I probably don't have room for him. Yeah, we got to get rid of some money Skull roller No Wow assassin bug is he's pretty terrible I'll get rid of one of these lizard men No, I need those how about a falcon our burgers like 20 dollars Yeah, he must have those those exotic uh I won't say he's exotic but one of those uh Super delicious gourmet burgers He needs SP All the dancers asleep.

Yes.  That's mean man It seems I was too lenient with the mistake again There you go No Did you just Wow, this got dark real fast He just shanked her You won 35 and I see now you get in the burger It's burger time.  I like other dudes They're just up there waiting for her to finish her words Now I was using you to get to your dress. I like that bloop. No, that's just too dark too evil Yes, Yusufa friend That could teach you how to be happy Her name does sound like lucifer it does That's what I'm hearing when I hit when I see it It does over I must say at least her last performance had some life Wow This dude is quite the he's quite the jerk It's shown that sort of potential earlier I might have kept her on longer She went all deep mud baritone on them enough Now I will show you the dance of my people The dance of doom This was the last night that I belong to you Uh-oh.  Hey demon hunter. How you doing, man? Uh, the game is good, man. It's really good so far.  I agree Think you're speaking to her the jeers the beatings the dishonor I endured it all for this day the day that man appeared before me I need your stage no longer I dance for myself now get yourself. Yes. No males exactly like that But with some with some differences, but this is just a little it's a turn-based RPG Pixel I guess you call this bright base turn-based RPG Kind of top down but not it's got like this unique ISO Depth of field perception. I don't know how to describe it Yeah, if you like the first final fantasies the first few ones like one through four um It reminds me a lot of three. It really does and that's my favorite one Wanted to see your master frown.  Yeah very well. You've had Just just ellipsis Out of yours belongs to me Put it where it belongs. Thanks David for the little rip use of her Master go pleasure yourself. Oh, that's messed up. She's a cat. She is a cat. It's a shame Primrose you were always my favorite.  Oh that that see that box See how pointy it is That means she really means what she says chat Look at this. Wait a minute. He looked nothing like that on the oh Oh Why is he so enormous? Why are you so huge? 12 foot 13 inches tall To answer him.  I I know man that you Okay, that that was some comedy relief. I did there It wasn't a legitimate question. Why is he so large?  Oh, he does nothing um, yes See if I can get big of these minions out of here Um, who's gonna be effective? I mean We don't know I'm gonna try another summon. All right. Let's try this Okay, there's their weakness I still haven't broken this guy. He's about to kill everybody Like that Yeah, nobody with a dagger really Old this one's going to be long chat It's all about the warrior in this one because he's like the only one that can do damage. It looks like Adel is truly joined Oh, he went down I expect the minion to go down that easy Cool Um, let's see. Let's go to the assassin bug. Oh, there we go. Got his weakness Chief in the die game. All right. Well Now that we know he's weak to that let's uh, do This As well as tressa She doesn't have anything that no, she doesn't There we go. Let's my arrow fly in true I'm going to let in your arrow fly in true. Hand it And we got a skull ruler and we got a killer bug and assassin bug If only you would hit the other guy All right, let's see if we can get a middle light waltz on him. I should have known All right, who's weak? Nobody Um He might be weak to one of these let's try a thunderbird. That would be an a The battle is truly joined spearhead A decent damage Why does he keep going to her man? Uh-oh, he's trembling with anger Um See if I can break him. There we go. Good. Good. Good. It's truly joined Uh
