As you can see I'm working in conditions that are less than optimal, some furniture has arrived and I'm sitting on it. I'm also using another laptop, not the one that I use in Macedonia. So let me know if the sound quality is different, better, worse and so on and so forth. Any technical issues and comments would be appreciated. Today we are going to discuss pathological lying. Now studies by Dana Rielly and many others have demonstrated conclusively that people lie. People lie a lot. People lie all the time. There are actually eight or ten types of lies. Towards the end of this video I'm going to enumerate all the types of lies that people tell. Lying is the lubricant of social life. If we were to tell the truth unbridled, brutal, honest, we would be at each other's throats. Very few people would be left standing or in my case sitting. So lying is an essential feature in the frictionless functioning of social intercourse. Look it up. My name is Abaknin, I'm the author of Malignan Sir Flav, Narcissism Revisited and I'm a former visiting professor of psychology. And the question that we are faced with is how do we tell apart someone who just lies a lot and someone who is pathological, a pathological liar. The key of course is in the word pathological. There is some pathology, some sickness, some illness, some etiopathology, some etiology, some reason for this kind of behavior. But what are the volmarics? How do we differentiate? How can we tell such people apart? Well, let's start with the fact that pathological liars lie for no good reason. They just lie. They're not goal oriented. There's no aim or purpose to the lie. Moreover, many of these lies are self-destructive, self-defeating, and self-harmful, and self-trashing. And despite all these adverse consequences, pathological liars keep lying. When people lie, they have a reason to lie. Again, towards the end of a video I will discuss the various reasons. Lying sometimes is a tool, a useful tool to achieve goals. But pathological liars lie for no reason and regardless of consequences. This is the first thing, the first differential factor. The second thing, the second element that sets apart pathological liars from just plain liars, is that the lies of pathological liars are extensive. They elaborate their narrative lies.   I can't contemplate how exhausting this must be. The lies should form a pattern that appears to be true and convincing. So there's a lot of work that goes into it. It requires a lot of investment of resources, energy, forethought, and a good capacity at storytelling, so extensive and elaborate lies. Stories that are very, very detailed. Pathological liars pay a dear price for these lies sometimes. Relationships are ruined, jobs are lost, custody battles, everything, but they can't help it. This is the compulsive element in pathological lying. Now, studies are inconclusive as to whether pathological liars are self-aware or not. Do they know that they're lying? Some of them convince themselves with their own lies. They begin to believe their own lies.  So there is a cathexis. There is emotional investment not only in the lies, but in succeeding to fool others or in creating an environment which is conducive to the subjective well-being of the pathological liar. The pathological liar weaves his ecosystem, lies, constitutes his natural ambience. When confronted with incontrovertible facts, pathological liars never admit, never confess, never flinch, unless they have something to gain by doing this. So some pathological liars would say, yeah, I did lie, but I lied to protect you. I lied because I had no choice. I lied because at the time it looked that way. I lied because there's always an excuse. Pathological liars would never just come out and say, I lied. I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Forgive me. Let's move on. They would never say this. Pathological lying is a very, very early onset phenomenon.  Pathological lying is an integral part of the disorder. You won't find it in the diagnostic and statistical manual. But victims of these people, intimate partners, members of families, friends, co-workers, bosses, they will all tell you that people with these personality disorders lie at the drop of a hat incisively and refuse to recognize the lies as such. We do distinguish, though, between pathological lying and instrumental lying. In submental health disorders, the lying is pathological, for example, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorder. In others, it's more in its compulsive but more instrumental, for example, in borderline personality disorder. But don't get me wrong.  It's not like we can say there's no such thing as pathological lying without some other mental health issue. That wouldn't be true. That is not true. So many scholars are demanding that in the DSM6 there should be a new diagnosis of pathological lying.  It was called, at the time, pseudologia fantastica, or mythomania. Again, the DSM doesn't include pathological lying. Now, what are the characteristics of pathological lying apart from the compulsive, self-arming nature? First of all, it is excessive, frequency, numeracy, number, quantity. The quantity of lies is egregious, overwhelming, and shocking. Pathological liars make stories all the time, and these stories sound real and make people believe in them. So there's something called rate-based fallacy, where people actually end up believing 90%, that's 90% of all lies they're told, and that includes fake news and misinformation, smear campaigns, and so on and so forth. It's easy to believe. You want to believe. Trust comes naturally. Each and every one of us, we want to believe that people are good and there's order and structure to the universe. So lies fly in the face of these assumptions, perhaps naive assumptions. Lies expose the fact that most people are manipulative, bordering on evil, and that there is no order and structure to the universe that supersedes or exceeds any single narrative. It's all a question of how you put it. It's all a question of a story. We are creatures of dreams. Human beings are storytellers and story consumers, and ultimately our fabric is the fabric of stories. We fall for stories. We love stories. We adore stories. The whole entertainment industry is built on this. What is the entertainment industry? These are codified lies. Movies are lies. Well, majority of them. They're lies. It's all structured industry of lying. So lying is a mega money earner. So there's a strong incentive to lie.  He would start with a lie, and then he would add another lie to buttress, uphold and support the first lie. And then he would add a third lie that would somehow fit into the first two and hold them in place. And so there's these enormous structures which sometimes unfold over years and decades of lying and lies. And these are complex narratives that unfurl and unfold and that are very, very difficult to disentangle and roll back. Because many of these lies have a kernel of truth. Pathological liars leverage truth, incorporate it in their lives. At some point it begins to be extremely difficult to tell truth and lies apart. And this is, of course, how this is what gives rise to conspiracy theories. Lies are outlandish. To start with lies are outlandish. But when you create an environment of lies, as Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Third Eye has observed, when you create an environment of lies and you repeat them often enough, they become indistinguishable from the truth. Pathological liars usually don't invest much thought, don't invest much planning in their lies because they lie a lot. And they simply don't have the time and the resources to do it. So they compensate for the poor quality of the lies by sheer quantity.    So lying with no good reason, a long-term problem, not a symptom of any other mental illness, not gaslighting. Gaslighting is premeditated, goal-oriented, exploitation of a power symmetry to cause you to doubt your perception of reality. That's gaslighting. Confagulation is an attempt to bridge over memory gaps. These are not lies. They resemble lies, but they're not lies. They are strategies. So lying, which is not a symptom of some other mental illness, is usually pathological lie. Now there are many types of lies and I will deal with the typology or the taxonomy of lies in a bit. But how can you tell if someone is lying? What are the tales? How do you know if someone is lying? The most recent discovery a few weeks ago is that liars give you too many details. The orthodoxy, what we had believed until a few weeks ago, was exactly the opposite. We believed that liars provide few details and the more skimpy the details, the more sure you can be that they are lying. But today we know that it's exactly the opposite. The typical liar would inundate you with facts, most of which are totally irrelevant and give the semblance of veracity. And so he is kind of distracting you with unnecessary data and information so that you don't pay attention to the fact that he is lying. Too many details. In internal contradictions, liars, even consummate pathological liars, have find it difficult to keep details of the story straight, to make them fit together, to render the lies compatible. Someone who lies frequently loses track of previous lies, starts to contradict himself. This is the essence of police interrogation. You ask the same question again and again and again. And sooner or later contradictions emerge if the person is lying. Next thing is unverifiable details. Many of the details appear to be realistic, but there's no way to verify them. Or it would take an unusual amount of investment of resources and time and money to verify them. So most people would rather believe them or just walk away. But they wouldn't bother to fact check the lie. So unverifiable details. The ratio of unverifiable to easily verifiable details is a major tell of a lie. In a truthful story, the amount of verifiable details would easily outweigh the amount of non-verifiable or verifiable with difficulty details. As I said earlier, too many details, but the pathological liar organizes this profusion and pornocupia of details in a dramatic and long story. Lies are always dramatic. They're always long. They're always anecdotal. They're always intense. People who tell the truth, unless of course they're describing trauma or something, but the truth about mundane issues, they don't become dramatic. They don't become intense, hyper-emotional, faking emotions. And usually people who are telling the truth confine themselves to the core of the truth, a sentence or two. They wouldn't go on and on and on for half an hour, providing you with 99% unnecessary details that you've never asked for. Liars do. Liars do. So why is lying so prevalent? Why do we all lie? And we all lie. Yes, you too. You also lie habitually. We all do end of story, whether you like it or not. White lies, gray lies, you name it. But we all lie. A statement constitutes a lie. Only if at least one of the interlocutors knows it to be untrue, yet insists or assumes that it is true. If all the parties involved in the exchange know that the statement is false, or if none of the parties in the conversation know whether it is false or true, then this may be fiction, an act of faith, but it's not a lie. Lies are about facts. Lies are about states of being. Lies that pertain to facts cannot be rendered true by consensus. Lying is not subject to voting. You can't vote a lie true. Although in today's world, truthism and the attitude to the truth is that it's relative. You could have your truth, I could have my truth, you have your facts, I have your facts, my facts, alternative facts. And this is a slippery slope and a huge danger because facts are facts. Lies that pertain to facts cannot be rendered true by consensus. But with regards to lies about states of being, if the parties agree something to be the truth, then their agreement can make it true. It can alter the truth value of the statement. This is because statements about states of being are dependent on social context and personal context, of course. Example, we have to rely on self-reporting by other people. When we see someone crying and we ask her why you're crying and she says I'm sad, you have to accept her word for it. There's no way for you to ascertain or to verify whether she's lying. We don't have a sad omitter. There's no way to penetrate, invade her brain somehow in truth and test it. We rely on self-reporting 99.99% of the time. This is the core of the intersubjective agreement which gives rise to empathy. But how do we know that people are not lying? We don't. We have no access to other people's minds. So reports about states of being can be rendered truthful by agreement. In short, if you say that you are sad, and I agree with you that you are sad, then even if you're lying, this would be the truth between us. Lies either prompt action or inhibit actions. Sometimes actions can convert the lie into the truth. So sometimes you can take action that can change the nature of the lie and make it the truth. It's kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. A self-fulfilling lie, if you wish. There are eight types of lies. Number one, utilitarian lie. That's a lie that is intended to accomplish something. A lie that is goal-oriented, a lie with structure and content, a plan to promote or inspire changes conducive to the furtherance of the liar's aims and aspirations. Instrumental utilitarian lies. The next type is the smokescreen lie. A lie whose purpose is to obscure, conceal, hide or remove true information. And this way mislead other people. This is common in the military, in espionage, in command operations. Smokescreen lies are intended to avoid facing a humiliating, shameful or dangerous truth. Number three, the compassionate lie.  Most white lies are compassionate and empathic. Number four, the ceremonial lie. Lies and dissimulations whose function is to establish a hierarchy, a pecking order, by demonstrating reverence and glossing over facts and behaviors that inconveniently contravene the accepted hierarchy. Manners, etiquette, these are highly elaborate forms of ceremonial lying. Number five, the compensatory lie. Lies that are used in order to disguise the oft-humiliating fact that we do not know the truth or cannot remember it. Lies of this type amount to fiction, but with most of the interlocutors being unaware of it. Number six, the confabulatory lie. These are intricate lies that weave a fabric of alternate reality, which is frequently an exaggerated form of the liar's traits, conduct, and personal history. Though of course confabulatory lies can be completely unrelated to anything real in the confabulate's life. Number seven, the inferential lie. These are fallacious conclusions or extrapolations based on true assumptions or statements. Most logical fallacies are inferential lies. And finally, the hybrid lie. Hybrid lies contain markers of an occult hidden truth or pathways to true information. They allow the recipients to read between the lines of people in communist countries used to do it when they were consuming the official media. And today, when you consume mainstream media, you would tend to do this. Hybrid lies are common in authoritarian and totalitarian regimes or when there is a monopoly of groupthink and individuals are not allowed to think for themselves.  We need to accept that with the emergence of mass media and especially social media, lying has been legitimized as a form of art. And so maybe we need to add a ninth type of lie, the artistic lie, the self-fashioning life, the self-reinvention lie. I wish I were like that lie, the fantasy type lie, the lies that are common on social media. Lies which reflect suppressed wishes, frustrations, hopes and the sadness and tragedy of coming short.


Frankie the Grease wants to see how slick you really are with his hair pomade.  I have curled my hair with this product before in small amounts and for any of you lovely young ladies out there, this is perfect for ponytails as well as curly hair. So let us demonstrate our hair pomade. And just so you guys know, I do use my products. I have it in a container here that I use for my personal use. And the first thing you'll notice is the product is very hard. So this product's primary ingredient is shea butter. And shea butter has a very low melting point. All we have to do is we run some hot water and we push the pomade into our hand. And since the melting point of the shea butter is incredibly low, it melts in about 10 seconds. And then what we do is we rub it between our hands until we look like the Michelin Man or Mr. Clean, whatever you may have it. And now that we have the pomade all over our hands, we simply run our hands gently through our hair. And as soon as our hands are free of most of the pomade, we wet our hands again and then run our hands through our hair for a second time. Now what you do next depends on how you want to style your hair. If you want to rinse some of the product out, you can have a more voluminous look, perhaps using a blow dryer. If you want to curl your hair, I would get in the shower, rinse most of it out, and then just pull your hair out gently and let the curls air dry. Since we are Frankie the Grease today and slick rick is the only appropriate look, I think we should do the slick rick. So I just wet my comb and like that, I have cement in my hair.  Now, I feel like I am wearing a helmet. So depending on the amount of pomade you put in your hair, it could feel like you're wearing a cement block on your head. Now this depends on how well you want the pomade to hold. If you are a high school football player and want to ram your head into someone else without a helmet, this would be adequate. But for most people, you use a smaller amount of pomade. And the beauty about this product is that tomorrow morning, when I wake up, all I'm going to do is comb the hair and it will stay. This pomade will literally stay in your hair for days to about a week and a half, depending on how often you shower and how well you wash your hair. It is not water soluble, so it is a little bit difficult to get out of your hair, but that is the purpose of this product. The purpose of this product is to keep your hair where it is at a minimal cost. One two ounce container of this pomade would probably last me two to three months, frankly. It depends on how much of it you use, how long your hair is, whether or not you want to wash it out every night. For any of you with shorter hair, this might be a lot easier to rinse out. Someone like me got a lot of hair. So, you know, when it's in there, it's in there. If you guys have noticed my hairstyles over the past week, you can see how they're pretty different every day. Every single day for the past five days, I've had this pomade in my hair. I had curly hair on Primal Edges Health live stream tonight.  I'll do it right now. I'll show you guys how easy this, how easy it is to style your hair with this stuff. It really holds. So, we'll just do a quick part. If it's really hard to comb your hair, you could always put a little water in it, but we don't have to. The reason I decided to make this product was because I was sick and tired of paying $15 for pomade that had 20 ingredients in it and lasted me two weeks. This is a product that will last you at least a month or two, and it holds in your hair. I'm sure it would even last longer than that, depending on how much you use. It has minimal ingredients, literally only three ingredients. It's unscented. There is nothing negative in this pomade that you are putting in your hair. So, thank you guys for watching. If you guys would like to support the channel, please subscribe and share the video. If you do want to purchase this, it's frank-tafano.com under the shop tab. Right now, you can get my deodorant, lip balm, moisturizing cream, tooth powder, and pomade for $40 with free shipping. There is no better deal for high quality, hygiene products online right now. And in the future, I think after this batch of products, I will be offering the products separately if I can find a shipping deal. So, if you guys want to see any products I might have on my Amazon or my Patreon, all that stuff is in the description down below. But, thank you guys so much for watching and enjoy your Superbowl Weekend.


A particularly important type of combinatorial probability is a hypergeometric probability. In a hypergeometric probability, the sample space consists of equally likely outcomes, the outcomes are permutations, and we can describe the event as selecting groups from a group. For example, we might select a set of five cards from a deck of 52 cards, or maybe a committee of three persons from a group of twenty persons, or a sample of ten items from a collection of one thousand. For example, suppose we're selecting a committee of three persons from a group of twelve men and eight women. If the committee members are randomly selected, what is the probability that all persons on the committee are men? Now, randomly usually means we have a sample space of equally likely outcomes. Since our outcomes are permutations, the actual committee members, with equally likely outcomes, we have a combinatorial probability. And further, since we're selecting groups from a group, men from men, women from women, this is in fact a hypergeometric probability. So first, we'll determine the size of our sample space. Now, we're forming this committee of three persons, and so we're choosing three people out of twelve men and eight women, twenty people. And we can do this in twenty combined three ways, and so our formula gives us. And here's a useful thing to keep in mind. After simplifying, the numerator and denominator of our combination formula should have the same number of factors. And in fact, if you look a little closer, you can see patterns that emerge over not only how many factors we have, but where those factors actually are. In any case, we find that our sample space has twenty combined three 1,140 outcomes. Now, to select three men, we need to select them from the twelve men that we have available. And so here we'll use our different notation for expressing the number of combinations. Twelve choose three, and our formula gives us 220. And so of our 1,140 outcomes of these twelve combined three 220 correspond to committees of three men. And now we're ready to state our probability. Provided the outcomes are equally likely, the probability of the committee consisting of three men will be, or about one in five. Now, while it's not absolutely necessary to do this, it's actually good practice to always state the assumption that the outcomes are equally likely. And part of this is preparation for statistics. Because in statistics, one of the questions we ask is, are the outcomes equally likely? And so here it's important to understand that this probability we get is based on the assumptions that they are, and that may have implications further on down the line.  If we randomly select three balls without replacement, what is the probability that all three are green?  And if we're selecting three without replacement, well, that's ten choose three ways to select them. And we'll make our assumption clear. Assuming we have equally likely outcomes, there are 120 ways to select three balls. We want to choose three green balls from a set of two. Well, that's obviously three choose two. We calculate that and there's three ways of doing that. And so our probability is, wait a minute.  And here's an important idea. Using a formula you don't understand is a guaranteed path to disaster. So remember the question we're really answering with this formula is, how many ways can we choose three green balls from a set of two without replacement? And so maybe we can set this up. Our permutations are, for the first ball, we have two choices. For the second, we have one choice. And for that third ball, there are zero choices left. There are no green balls left to choose from. And so there are zero ways we could make this selection. And so in fact, zero of the outcomes are sets of three green balls. And so the probability is zero out of 120 or zero. Well, how about something that doesn't have a zero probability? Suppose that we select three balls without replacement and we want to find the probability that two are red and one is green. Well, let's think about this. We want a set of two red and one green. And we can get this by picking the two red and then picking the one green. And since our choices for the two red can't be our choice for the one green, this is a permutation. So we'll pick the two red.  And we're going to select two of them. So there are three combined two or three ways to do this. We'll pick the one green. Since there's two green balls, there's only two ways to pick one green. And so there will be three times two six ways of selecting two red and one green. And previously we determined there's 120 ways of selecting three balls. And again, making clear our assumption, assuming the sets of balls are equally likely, the probability of selecting two red and one green will be six out of 120 or 0.05 or about one in 20.


Now we've got the Ruger Security 9 Compact. Everything that the full-size Security 9 has, but the smaller package with a 3.42-inch barrel, two 10-round magazines. They trigger, I'm measuring it right at five pounds. It is a hammer fired gun. All right, so it does have the hammer in there.


on the Q Channel, thanks so much for watching. As you can see, I'm not in Wisconsin, I'm in Minneapolis. It's my last day here, before I have to go back home. Got one more gig tonight. If you're someone who is on YouTube and doesn't have enough views, or you just are creating videos every day, or constantly, and you're not getting the views you want, this video is for you, so keep watching. I've been vlogging for 15 days now. 15 days straight, I've uploaded daily videos to my channel, and I've gotten little views. There's been videos that have performed pretty well, but overall they've not been the greatest. And I'm not here, I'm not gonna say that I have like the formula that cracks the algorithm because that's not a thing, or I'm not here to like make something go viral. I'm just simply here to hopefully encourage those who are working hard like me, but don't have the views yet. Can we just talk about how freaking awesome Minneapolis is? Like, oh, it's so good. Oh, I love being back. Okay, views, let's talk about views. Okay, here's the thing.  It's kind of the opposite.  Everyone on social media tell me to work harder and create more, but hear me out. As I've been creating videos and uploading on the daily now for 15 days, I've realized that I'm working into a flow. I have myself working into a video flow that allows me to be more creative, to worry more about my content and video creation versus how many people will see my videos. And so because of the concept of creating videos for me and not so much for the views, but worry about what you're creating is what you're creating on a daily basis, inspiring. Do you even like it? Because if you don't like it, how would you expect for others to view your stuff? My channel is about photography, video tutorials, and family vlogging. I like all of those things, and so I'm putting them together and seeing what works. And I'm not concerned about a subscriber count. I'm not concerned about the views. I'm creating content for me. I like the stuff. So far you guys have been liking that too. So that's also a plus. So that's kind of my thing right now. Like I'm creating content for me. I'm creating content that I like. I'm not being, I'm not focused on being the next biggest YouTuber or going viral. Like those things do happen, but I feel like if your head's not on right and you're not really trying to set goals for yourself beneath those goals, or it's just trying to go like full 100% like be the famous person, it's not gonna work. And I'm saying the famous person because that's usually what the people that I talk to, they want to be. They wanna be a full-time YouTuber and they wanna be famous. But I think we forget that we have to start somewhere. And that's just again, creating content that you love, that you just like doing.  Like I really do. And I'm getting little views. Does that depress me? No, I'm not defined by my views. I'm not defined by my subscriber count. It's not about your view count. It's not about your subscriber count. It's about making content that you like. Wow, it is so crazy hot right now. And I just wanna be, like this grass is so nice. I just wanna be here for a little while. Wow, I'm sweating. Okay, so let's say you are creating content that you love and you're putting in the work. You're in the grind. You're doing it. And you're still not getting views. So my question to you would be this. How can you appreciate the thousands of subscribers you'll get one day and not the 10 or 20 subscribers you have now? Cause those that are paying attention now, matter. Those views matter. And if you can make them count and respond to those comments to make them feel like they're a part of your videos, they'll build this connection via the internet and they'll stick with you when you have thousands of subscribers. Now you're asking, well, that doesn't really answer my question because I want views and subscribers, Johnny. Why would you say that? I started somewhere and I started with 100 subscribers. And because I commented on every single comment, because I reached out and answered questions about photography and video, they've become a part of the Johnny Q Team on YouTube and my channel. And for that, I appreciate you. Thanks for sticking around. I love you guys. I think it's pretty simple. I think it's just, it's that simple.  Keep on creating, as I would say, my mantra and you're gonna get there. You'll see the work come through. Hey, this is literally one of my favorite buildings in Minneapolis. Boom. Just so epic looking and elegant with its white arches. It's just, mm. All right, so let's break this down. This may not be like an earth-shattering video to you, but I hope it's beneficial because I truly believe if you work hard and you worry about what you're creating versus just the views, you'll get where you wanna go. When did YouTube become like about being monetized and being famous and all this other stuff? Like, it should be about having fun and creating what you wanna create. And that's what I'm after. I'm out. I'm after like the creation portion of what is YouTube. So why not? What's that? I'm not taking photos. Oh, they're just taking photos on their phone. This is pretty high resolution as well. Okay, well, I'm not taking photography, any photos, but I'll just step off. Cool. It's about creating content that's awesome for you and what you like versus trying to get famous. Like, let's not try to do that.  Let's have fun with creating videos in the daily upload. Okay, there's another security guard coming. I'm, you know what? I'm just gonna head out. It's gonna be the end of this video. Yeah, we're gonna cut it short because we're starting to come. All right, I hope you guys like this video. Hope it was beneficial. Let me know in the comments below and I'll catch you next time on the Johnnie K channel. Peace.


This is the VOA Special English Health Report. Each year, an estimated 106 million people get infected with gonorrhea. This sexually transmitted disease is getting harder and harder to treat. The World Health Organization says gonorrhea is increasingly resistant to antibiotics. The WHO warns that there are few treatment options available and that the world is running out of ways to cure it. Manjula Lusti Narasimhan is a scientist at the WHO. She explains what could happen if this bacterial disease becomes untreatable. For men and women of reproductive age, they could become infertile. For women who are pregnant, they could have ectopic pregnancies or spontaneous abortions that could increase maternal deaths. And for infants born to these women with untreated gonorrhea, over half of them develop severe eye infections which can lead to blindness. Gonorrhea is one of four major sexually transmitted infections that can be cured. The other three are chlamydial infection, syphilis, and cancroid. But the organism that causes gonococcal infections has developed resistance to almost every class of antibiotic that exists. Resistance is caused by the overuse of antibiotics and the use of poor quality antibiotics. It also results from natural genetic changes or mutations within disease organisms. The WHO says it does not know the extent of the resistance worldwide. This is because of a lack of good information in many countries and a lack of research. But it says cases of resistance to treatment are already being reported in several countries. These include Australia, France, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Britain. The WHO is calling for smarter use of antibiotics and more research into new ways to treat the infections. Dr. Lusty Mara Simhan says there is no current research into new drug treatments for gonorrhea. She says we have no plan B right now. She says curing the disease is no longer as simple as taking a pill. As she puts it, we are in a state right now where in so many places this organism is rapidly developing resistance. So we do need to start looking into the research. The WHO is calling for urgent action to prevent the spread of untreatable gonorrhea. A new global action plan calls for increased monitoring and reporting of resistant strains of the disease. The plan also calls for better efforts to prevent, diagnose, and control the infections. For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villareal. You can find links to more information about gonorrhea at voaspecialenglish.com.


Okay, that's it about the needs of careful management. The final drawback I would like to mention is the possibility of technical problems. This is perhaps best shown by this quote from Patrice Preston in a 2008 article. The example Preston gives is from Canary Wharf skyscraper in London. A software bot means that half of the elevators stopped working at all. While the others saw randomly between fours or didn't stop at all, it told the team of software engineers 10 days of constant work to fix the problem during which office workers didn't know how long it would take them to get to the office. Clients were not able to attend conference in the buildings and all deliveries had to stop during daytime compared this situation to a conventional office where one lived might have been out of service causing minor inconvenience. But all the others would have carried on. Okay.


Coming up on DTNS, Google's new pixels are high spec, but low price. Plus who is Facebook's new portable smart display for and a Fisher price Bluetooth phone? This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, October 19th, 2021 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt also from Los Angeles. I'm Lamar Wilson also from not Los Angeles. I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. Uh, Sarah Lane is out for a couple of weeks, but we are very happy to have you along with us. Uh, we were just talking about movie premieres and salmon on good day internet. If you'd like that wider conversation, become a member at patreon.com slash DTNS, where you can join our top patrons like John Atwood and Pat and DeGrasia, a Daniels. Thank you all three, uh, for being patrons of the very highest order. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. As we mentioned yesterday, Mac OS Monterey coming out Monday, the 25th and Apple just made the release candidate available in beta. One of the changes they made at the last minute, that tab design and Safari has reverted back to what it was in Big Sur. So if you were worried about that, don't be the default will be what you're used to. Everything's nothing's going to change grandpa. If you want that new weird tab design, though, uh, that one that was in the Monterey beta through almost its entire run, you can still choose it, though it'll be available in settings under compact. This makes me happy. Alibaba unveiled the Yiqian 7 10, a new five nanometer arm server chip at his annual cloud summit in Hongzhou. The company plans to use its own data centers in the near future with no current plans to have it sold commercially. This is Alibaba's third semiconductor design since 2019. Netflix beat expectations for subscriber growth in Q3 gaining 4.38 million subscribers, reaching 213.6 million worldwide. Netflix had only expected to add about three and a half million, so it beat it by a nice amount. Netflix expected to add 8.5 million subscribers in Q4. That's about the same as it added in Q4 last year. They always get a bump around the holidays. Part of the unexpected surge is attributable to the popularity of Squid Game, which Netflix confirmed in its earnings report has been viewed by 142 million households. It has been the number one program in 94 Netflix countries. I watched it. Amazon's self-driving car unit, Zooks, will begin testing a fleet of Toyota Highlander vehicles equipped with this autonomous system in Seattle. Now, Zooks currently test vehicles in Las Vegas, San Francisco and Foster City, California, but hopes the Seattle test will help prepare the tech for a wider range of climates. Also, the news for most of us is Amazon has a self-driving car unit called Zooks. And an exchange trade fund is a way to hold an investment in a thing without having to own the thing. So for instance, gold. If you invest in a gold exchange traded fund, you get the benefit of the price of gold going up, if it does, without having to have a vault to store your gold in. The first exchange traded fund for Bitcoin launched on the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday under the stick ticker symbol Bitto, B-I-T-O. So if you want the thrill of rising and falling Bitcoin prices without having to actually buy and keep any of it in an actual Bitcoin wallet, now's your chance. For those who are into that sort of thing, it's worth pointing out that Bitto does not actually hold any Bitcoin itself, unlike the exchange trade funds, which usually do. It backs its exchange trade fund with Bitcoin futures contracts. That's the only way the SEC would approve it. At this point. All right, let's talk about a new product, but not the Pixel. Hang in there. We're going to talk about the Pixel, but we got another new product on sale today, Lamar. Even more exciting. Facebook introduced a mobile 10.1-inch smart display called the Facebook Portal Go. Like other portal devices, it works with Messenger and WhatsApp, has smart camera tracking to keep you in frame if you move around and requires a Facebook account to use. Now the Go has a gray fabric enclosure with rounded corners. There's a button to disable the camera and microphone. It's important. And there's a built-in slide-over cover for the camera as well. It's chunkier than a tablet so it can sit upright on its own and has an integrated handle for carrying it around. A big benefit is that it's mobile. It has a battery inside. The battery can be charged when sitting on a proprietary 3-pin connector. It looks a little circular, like a little circular charging puck if you want to visualize it. The battery gives you up to five hours of Messenger calling or 14 hours of music playback. Otherwise, it works like other portals. It supports Amazon and Facebook's voice assistants, although they do different things. So you have to remember when to say, hey, Facebook and when to call your good old Alex A friend there. And it has Bluetooth so you can use it like a Bluetooth speaker as well. It doesn't have many apps, but it does have Zoom. It does not have any video streaming services other than Facebook video. So the PortaGo is available now for $199.  The problem with the PortaGo is it's a Facebook portal device. Otherwise, it's great. The big advantage here is like, ooh, a portable smart display. Some people might call that a tablet, but I think there is a justification to have a smart display that you can move around. A smart display with a battery in it. Sarah Lane always talks about when she first got her Echo Show, she wanted to pick it up and move it around and realized, oh, wait, I have to plug it in. So I think there's something to that. You may scoff at it, but I think there's something to having that Bluetooth speaker ability, move it around, take it out in the backyard with you, et cetera. Unfortunately, Facebook was the first one to do this so far. And the Facebook portal is so limited. And it's from Facebook, which I know a lot of people just aren't into these days. Yeah, I was looking at the Engadget article and it was like it listed pros and cons. And the cons with limited apps like features like other smart displays have requires a Facebook account. And then the last con was Facebook. So the fact that that's going to be a barrier for some, but I did see a comment on that article that was like, look, I use WhatsApp, you know, I use Facebook Messenger. And can we safely say billions of people use WhatsApp? I think you can. Yeah, safely say that. Yeah. So it might not be a product for us, but it might kill internationally. You know, in fact, if you move around, I don't know, it might be a great thing. That's the thing with the portal. I think Facebook could kill in the smart display market if they were running on Android.  But because I mean, they may be running on Android, but because they have a license to because it's so proprietary, and you have to develop apps specifically for it. And the apps are very limited to Facebook's own ecosystem. I know what Facebook saying Facebook saying, Hey, it's a simple device for people who want to use Facebook on a display, WhatsApp Messenger, make some calls to grandma. Like there is something to that simplicity. But it's just it's just too limited. And and people, I don't know, people are into this for for lots of different reasons. I'm not trying to say the smart display, you know, has become a monolith and Facebook is missing the one thing. But this this just feels very limited right now. For 199 bucks. I don't know. I guess it's subsidized cheap to be cheap enough. Maybe not a terrible device. I remember there was a portable speaker like a Google home, but we had a battery that I showcased a few years ago. So like they were trying to try to do something like that. So I think people I think the idea what you said like a portable device is out there. People want it. Do they want it from Facebook? What time will tell? They will see how to see how they will release the sales numbers. I mean, put it this way. The portal is there is an audience for the portal. But I don't think making the portal mobile is the thing that will increase the audience significantly. That's fair. Yeah, fair. A couple of follow ups to the Apple announcement from yesterday. First of all, it's now confirmed that that HDMI port is HDMI 2.0 not 2.1, which could be the reason probably likely to be the reason that you see it saying it to go only support a 4k display at 60 Hertz, not 120 Hertz. Not many monitors do that anyway, but it's kind of irksome. You can you can still get a 4k 120 Hertz monitor to work on the Thunderbolt for ports. It's just the HDMI port that's limited to 60 Hertz. The 16 inch MacBook Pro also comes with a 140 watt charging brick with a MagSafe cable. And the best part about that is that it uses the USB C power delivery 3.1 standard. So HDMI using the old standard, the USB C move using the most recent just released power standard. And that means you could use it on other compatible devices. And the Mac can use compatible third party USB C PD 3.1 chargers from third parties. The new USB C power delivery standard is the first to go over 100 watts. USB C PD 3.1 goes up to 240 watts. The Mac power brick also uses gallium nitride or GAN, which means it can be smaller than if it was made with other materials. They didn't seem to do that with the lower wattage ones. They're still making those with other materials. But this one's not as huge as it would be. A couple caveats. The 140 watt charger will only do fast charging on the 16 inch MacBook Pro's MagSafe port. Because the USB C ports are Thunderbolt 4 and don't support USB C PD 3.1. That's extra confusing because the 14 inch not the 16 inch but the 14 inch MacBook Pros can do fast charging over their Thunderbolt 4 USB C ports because the 14 inch models come with either 67 or 96 watt chargers. And yes, you could get those lower chargers and use it on your 16 inch MacBook Pro but it'll charge slower. And if your machine is pulling more wattage than the charger provides because it can pull up to 140 watts it could deplete your battery instead of charging it. Still, if you want to buy one of Apple's 14 watt laptop chargers and not have to buy a 16 inch MacBook Pro, you can get it for $99 but it does not come with a cable. You have to pay an extra $49 for the MagSafe cable. And one more thing Apple also added a new product to its catalog, the $19 piece of fabric called the polishing cloth previously only sold with the XDR display. It's a microfiber cloth with an Apple logo embossed on it and supports most Apple products from iPhone 6 to newer. And you'll be happy to know that based on a ton of demand, I will be unboxing that in the future. Did you buy one? I did. I'm gonna do a full like it's a series. I was I was I was asked to I was like all right. So yeah, it comes out in November late November is when I'll get it. So yeah, the shipping times are slipping for the for the cloth. I was trying to put out an article literally like seriously addressing this talking about you know, it's listed on the on the website is supporting iPhone 6 and later we cannot confirm that this cloth supports non Apple gadgets like a Nintendo switch. So one thing I wanted to add about because I wasn't I was on a show yesterday. I came into the Apple events like I have everything I need I just bought the the M1 in March right about a little late. Oh, you have 13 inch. Okay. Yeah, about 13. So I have everything I need. I'm fine. But in an event I spent $4,000.  Those specs, you know, it just says someone who does video those specs just just got to me. So yeah, I got the 14 inch I maxed out the memory to two terabytes or tell me anything more than that. And I just maxed out the processor, you know, yeah, I got the max version of the problem, which is gonna have a lot of people you know, it can be those prudent people like I don't have a MacBook pro have a MacBook Pro Max. You know, excuse me. Yeah, correct. Pro. Yeah.  I won't do that. But you might. I'm the kind of person who would definitely do that. Yeah. Yeah, to you specifically. Real real quick. Known Windows user Rob Dunwood, off time co host on this show and co host of the tech john said on this week's the tech john that he was really tempted by those chips. And he's looking at those prices going like I know Apple's expensive, but for an equivalent machine, I mean, Adele would cost you just about the same amount given that performance.  You got to listen to the tech john to win over. Yeah, come on over, Rob. Now, many of you may be familiar with official price shattered telephone. Wait, what's that? You're not Oh, no. Okay. Anyway, it's a kid's toy that looks like a phone with a big smiley face below a rotary dial, has an old fashioned handset and it's on wheels. And now it's available with Bluetooth. What? Yeah, you heard me right. Ladies and gentlemen, Fisher Price is putting out a version of the phone that can pair with Android and I I kid you not. It can you can actually dial numbers with the rotary dial and hang up on the calls by placing the receiver in the cradle. You can slam down and calls it get out. Oh my God, I'm excited about that. And you can hear calls over a speaker phone function. It's available for pre-order from Best Buy for $60, although the shipping date is unclear. I do want to let you you might want to hurry. I've already pre-ordered one. I will be unboxing this too, ladies and gentlemen. I could not. I could not. I'm treating it like a full tech thing too. This I need you to bring over to my house. I got to see this in real life. Because man, that that's crazy. I mean, it's hilarious though. It's a nostalgia play, which is like perfect for millennials right now. And basically all they did was they put a Bluetooth speaker, like a Bluetooth phone device with a speaker inside the old phone. But think about if your kid, like if you want to talk to a talk to grandma, go pick up and the kid can pick it up and you're just it's like the speaker version is kind of pushing it over by Bluetooth so the kid on their fishing price can listen to grandma.  That costs 60 bucks. That's my Bluetooth speaker. You can't play with that. It's not a toy. I also think it's hilarious that that we like I think it's good that we're teaching the kids that rotary exists, but like they're gonna have no like this has no connection to anything in there. Yeah, I thought about that too. Yeah, the fact that it's actually still rotary is hilarious. Kids are probably looking at this like what is this? Is it a phone? This does looks nothing like a phone. A phone is a black square. You know, anyway, folks, if you would like to hear more than just Rob Dunwood being tempted by Max, the Tech John podcast has some great content about Facebook's metaverse situation, the tech angle on the emails from John Gruden. You get all of that and more with Rob Dunwood, Terence Gaines and Stephanie Humphrey. You just heard Terence on the show yesterday.  Get the Tech John. Taking a second look at the week's tech headlines delivered from an African-American perspective at thetechjohn.com. That's thetechjohn.com. All right, let's get to those pixel announcements. Google announced new Pixel phones specifically the 6.4 inch Pixel 6 and the 6.7 inch Pixel 6 Pro. Both started 128 gigs of storage. You can get the 6 with 256 if you pay a little more and the Pro with 256 and 512. The Pixel 6 has eight gigs of RAM. The Pro 12 or I'm sorry the Pro has 12 gigs of RAM. Both new pixels run on Google's own custom tensor ARM based system on a chip with the tensor security core and the Titan M2 security chip which handles your pins and passwords. The tensor SOC has eight cores, two high power cores, two mid-range cores, four low power cores. While the tensor SOC generally compared performance wise in the presentation at the Qualcomm 888, it does include Google's proven tensor processing unit for AI and that TPU is good. So machine learning and things like that are going to work very well on device on this. Pixel 6 has a 1080p screen with 90 hertz refresh rate. Camera has a 50 megapixel main sensor and a 12 megapixel ultrawide decent. Pixel 6 Pro though adds a 4x telephoto lens in addition to the regular in the ultrawide and has a wider selfie camera plus a 1440p screen with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 hertz. Both phones can shoot up to 4k 60 frames per second with Google's auto HDR image processing or capture 240 frames per second slow-mo at 1080p. Camera works with the cool new machine learning software features like magic eraser, it lets you take out objects out of the image, motion mode and face unblur that that try to smooth out your images especially in video. Both pixels have wireless charging, IP68 weather resistance, an in-screen optical fingerprint sensor and fast charging. You don't get a charging wart in the box, you just get the USB-C cable, you have to buy a 30 watt charger separately if you don't have one already and tick all the other spec must-haves in a flagship. Both phones support 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, ultrawide band that's the the find me thing like Apple uses with the air tags, Bluetooth 5.2 and only the 6 Pro and a special version of the 6 for Verizon will support millimeter wave 5G but battery life should be good on both 4,614mAh battery in the 6,5004mAh battery in the 6 Pro and the ship with Android 12 of course with a minimum five years of security support still talking three years of full OS but five years of security because they made the chip. Side note Android 12 now available for the Pixel 3 end up if you have an older pixel you can get Android 12 now other brands will get it later this year. Pixel 6 comes in light blue light pink and black they have fancy names for this stuff but that's that's what they are to me. The Pro is available in off-white a kind of light yellow pink combo and black the phones are available for pre-order now with the Pixel 6 at $599 or $699 with more storage and the Pro starting at $899 or $999 and $1,099 with more storage all of them shipping starting October 28th which is when they'll appear on store shelves as well. What do you think of the pixels? Well a quick I knew have some thoughts quick question though this is their first year with the because I own the 4 not the 5 this is the first year with their own chip correct? Yes that is correct. Okay I was wondering what it yeah we're making a big deal out of that so I think yeah I think having their own chip is smart it's what Apple's doing so I do have some notes I think the camera bar is hideous but it doesn't mean it's got a big black bar across like all the way across the back right? Yeah doesn't mean I won't I won't like it I just it's hideous to me but someone pointed out on Twitter to me that once you put it in the case the cases level out the phone so you won't so make it flush so you won't notice this I'm like okay that's fair but that it's ugly besides the specs and everything sound amazing and great I have again I love the Google's pure phones I mean I had the G1 I had Nexus one I I love the pure phones but I really into their features real tone really stood out to me as a person of color because they took the time to really address this in a kind of a raw way that you know camera sensors just by nature of the algorithm how they may just tend to be biased towards towards white faces and that that's that's not that's them saying it that's not me making giving an opinion so they they worked really hard to fix it they worked with artists and and and photographers and videographers and and to address you know this lighting image because I've dealt with this having to take several shots or family will get out of the right light just to get a decent picture doesn't look ashy so I like that they're addressing it with the community I feel that was important the live translation to me was beautiful I I'm not going to get you time I almost tear it up I don't know why I just it was it was beautiful seeing that interview and I know it was a stage interview but like just the fact that you can in almost real time have that translation back and not have someone have to feel like they got to change they got to change their language for you but the fact that they can still speak their mother tongue and still be able to have a conversation with your through technology doesn't matter who does it I'm I'm just I'm really excited for that I think that makes people want to communicate more and I think I'll embrace the world look closer together that's me being mushy but I really I really enjoyed that live translation for sure yeah Google seems confident it could sell a lot of these phones at these prices these prices are the the biggest feature is the price the fact that these are so affordable yeah uh Nikkei Asia's sources say Google has asked suppliers to produce more than seven million units of the pixel six double all of Google smartphone shipments from last year let's talk a little more about those software features you were mentioning like you said real tone uses face detection to do a better job recognizing faces reducing stray light that makes darker skin tones look ashy or washed out Google says we worked with a diverse set of expert image makers and photographers to tune our auto white balance and auto exposure and stray light algorithms to ensure that Google's camera and imagery products work for everyone of every skin tone and then regarding the translation there's a bunch of voice recognition improvements the pixel promises more accurate transcription it can grab correct spelling from your contact list guess where punctuation could be do a little context based spelling like no when you're talking about a Catherine with a K that it should always be spelled with a K staves active even when you're moving the cursor around and like you said it improved language translation both from text audio and images they showed off a real-time conversation with Marie Kondo speaking Japanese and the person from Google speaking in English and you could tell Marie Kondo I mean it's it's a setup it's a Google thing of course she's going to be impressed she looks and I don't know maybe Marie Kondo is a better actor than I thought but she looked like seriously impressed like kind of blown away impressed you also have hold time waiting and screening calls like you do in pixels already but the new pixel six can show you the phone tree options so if it's giving you that press one to speak to a customer representative press two to access your balance it'll listen to all those and just put them on the screen you tap the one you want and the phone will select it for you so you don't have to sit there waiting and listening snap chats getting access to native camera capabilities with something called quick to snap that was interesting that they're partnering up with snap so closely you can add quick to snap to the home screen or double tap the back of the phone to launch the snap camera without unlocking the phone Google snap users are getting exclusive AR filters and in camera translation from that that that translation that we were talking about yeah that one surprised me the snap yeah yes yeah snap surprised because I it's not that I feel like snap going away but like they just not in a conversation lately with things so I would expect like a tiktok iteration but obviously they're competitor in some video things so yeah this yeah this makes sense I had a passing thought that this is a way for google to prove that it still works with companies even if it doesn't buy them you know like hey regulators look at what we're doing with snap we didn't we didn't know acquire them I don't know you know I'm not saying that's the main motivation there but it might be a nice side it's a good point yeah pixel also getting security and privacy features that are not yet available on other android devices a privacy dashboard lets you know what data apps have access to info that was there that is there in android but it's just easier to find advantage in this interface new indicators will show up at the top of your screen if an app has an issue that needs attention or just to let you know if the app is accessing things like your camera or your microphone google also introduced a new pixel stand wireless charger with speeds up to 23 watts for comparable pixel phones and up to 15 watts for other cheese certified devices you can get that soon for 79 bucks and I really think not only is the price the biggest advantage here it's a great phone i'm not not trying to damn it with faint praise but the price is its biggest feature considering what you get and then they introduced pixel pass all in one subscription service includes a pixel six phone along with preferred care which is you know your extended warranty stuff youtube premium which takes the ads out of youtube includes youtube music 200 gigabytes of cloud storage from google one and google play pass which is giving you access to a bunch of apps without having to pay for $45 a month for the six $55 a month for the six pro over 24 months so you're basically paying off the phone and getting the subscriptions uh for 24 months so i i really like to picture but i have at the apple one but it's not like this it doesn't include the phone of course so so this this is a different deal i was at first when i heard this because i my pixel is pictures my second phone i have google five so i paid i just pay the standard 20 bucks a month if i thought five was included in this i was literally going to switch over just for the heck of it because i'm like you can get you actually get a discount on five if you do this interesting that's what i need to find out i think it's like four or five dollars a month off your five uh your five bill yeah because i'm already paying for youtube premium i was just trying to see the things i paid for on google yeah already would it be worth it you know and and you get the new phone with it and i tend for pixels every two years anyway i don't i don't usually do a pixel every year because it's not my main phone so it's a yeah it's a intriguing offer i'm definitely gonna look more into it yeah it is uh i'm trying to find uh the the savings yeah you'll save an additional four dollars off your monthly five plan uh so pixel pass would save you 294 dollars over the course of two years if you were going to buy all this stuff anyway obviously you're like well if i'm not going to buy a pixel it's not going to save me any money but but if you're going to buy the pixel and all this stuff it's going to save you 294 dollars but if you get it through google five you're saving four hundred fourteen dollars over two years wow yeah that almost feels like a no brain right i know it's a i'm i'm absolutely expecting apple to take its upgrade program and add it to apple one and and combine it like yeah this this definitely seems like a no brainer like you said all right folks if you're an american history buff with plans on visiting the boston massachusetts area chris christensen the amateur traveler has a great spot for your vacation itinerary this is chris christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute again today i have a place for you and this one is a place where the industrial revolution came to the us or at least one of the national historic sites that is based on america's history in industrial revolution it's also as far as i know the only park in the national park system that comes with earplugs and that's the local national historic site in massachusetts the reason why it comes with earplugs is this is still has working mills and so you can see how these textile mills that were the first part of america's industry work and it's a fascinating look into the early 1800s in the industrial revolution it's just outside of boston so not hard to get to if you find yourself in that area the local national historic site this is chris christensen from amateur traveler yeah a little tech history uh spot to travel to thank you chris good stuff yeah all right let's see what's in the mail bag lamar yeah so this is from nick from australia and he says hi tom and roger i'm in a pc ecosystem and i do not want a mac laptop but i look at apple products with lusted one area i want mac safe on a pc laptop usb c up to recently has been rather limited in its maximum power delivery the pc industry has used the old barrel plug connectors and to deliver power to laptops and that can easily go above 250 watts of power draw since usb c is only good for lower power machines but let's be honest mac safe is a much better connector it aligns perfectly with near zero effort it can deliver more power than the old usb c standard it would disconnect you if you are klutz like me and trip over your power cable i really wish apple would open source or license mac safe for that asus g14 laptop i'm thinking about buying next week i i agree with him i think it should be everybody should have it as you as you heard you can get that 240 watt adapter and it's standard so you could use it with your non-apple device and then there are things like thunder mag out there and i don't know if thunder mag is any good but because steve shanklet over at cnet had some problems with it but there are definitely devices that will plug into your usbc port on your windows machine and then give you a mag safe like experience i don't know if any of them are any good though so if anybody knows if anybody out there has said oh yeah i've got that for my windows machine and i like mine email us feedback at dailytechnewshow.com help nick out yes help him also help us out folks uh we are we are we are down a few patrons on the

I don't know yet. Hold on. Hi everyone. My life. Sorry. Whoever's there listening. I don't think anyone's in yet. You got three people. Hi bobo.  Didn't want to up. Didn't want up. Didn't want up. Ian's dead. Still too far forward. Sup y'all? Well, we missed you guys. We're back. I've got my assistant, Bowie Beans, my little ace over here. Sorry about not going live as much as we usually do. We've been working on that. P-I-T-A Countertop down in Austin. That is still not done yet. The countertop itself is basically done. We just have to install it. Reasons. It's been a rough few days. But I'm here and we're going to make some beautiful artwork. Today, I'm going to be making for y'all purple marble with gold and white. I know. It's true. Welcome home. Thanks you guys. I really appreciate y'all being here. Y'all are amazing. I didn't know it would be up on. I'm trying to look at this. I know. Luckily, I had Clara, luckily, I had Clara there helping me and Rhonda and Kenny. If you guys don't know, we're running a special Bogo on the website for the Two-Face Chameleons. Just type in Bogo at checkout and I will double whatever chameleons you purchase. That's going on through this weekend. And I forgot to tell you guys, hi. I'm Erica. This is Artist Till Death. You can tell because it's on my gloves. Wait. Couldn't see. Forgive me if I'm a little spaced today. And I was going to say something else. Oh, yeah, we go live every day. Sometimes it's not every day, but I try to make it every day. It's always at 6 p.m. Except for not always, because sometimes I forget what day it is and I'm late and two days to go live at two in-house. I have vamp with me, keep me on task and focused. And I'm using Stone Coat Art Coat. What did you break? I found. What I used for the cover image. As a reference when I was looking for inspiration for today. I couldn't find a name on it, but. Very inspired by the beauty. So that's what I'm using. If you guys know who did the painting that I use this cover, let me know so I can give them credit. Yes, we're going to need a little bit of gold. And I have two purples that we're going to use. I'm using the smaller cups for my purples because. Reasons, I'm not going to use that much. I'm going to make it fairly negative space, because that's how the marbles look like in my world. Where's my. So first color I'm mixing up is always trying to play with the cats. Color passion, base cell white.  If you guys aren't subscribed yet, do any favor. Subscribe, hit that little bell so you get notifications sometimes when we go live because sometimes. The YouTube will unsubscribe people from channels, so double check and make sure you're still subscribed. Thanks, YouTube. I'm pouring my opaque white into my what would be translucent white in order to make a translucent love pro tip. Dang it. Why did I look up? I have vamp here. Being my Q&A lady because times are tough right now. I am drinking a Chardonnay. Cheers to everything. Hi, Isabelle in Sweden. It made you try resin wall art. Well, awesome. I. Love to hear that makes my heart happy to know that I've inspired someone to try resin art. Because I think it's just the bee's knees. So I have one white that's very opaque. I cannot see through to my stir stick. Then I have one that's translucent so I can still see some of the tan from the stir stick. The next color I'm going to mix up is a dark purple. I'm using Color Obsession Black Current. Contrary to popular belief, black current is actually purple, not black. A gorgeous purple. It is a gorgeous purple, but a lot of times people order black current thinking it is black. You have pork on your jeans. It's not open. You just have meat on your jeans. I don't know what to tell you about your life.  Well, I typically drink a cab, but it'll make me tired and I got stuff to do. So can't be getting sleepy. This is a beautiful, beautiful deep purple. I don't know if you guys can see it on the side of the cup. Maybe. Yeah, you can see it. So the gold I'm going to be using is a molten gold from Levo. You guys didn't know I carry all of the major Australian paste, which in my opinion are. Of the best you could use to color your resin. I only carry the best for my one stop resin shop. Molten gold. Where's my this? OK, we guys have any questions about. Resin art or any of the other art you've seen us do on this channel. Feel free to ask. I have vamp here reading me. Questions and I'll be happy to answer and thralled by my mixing. I wasn't reading each other. I was just watching you make it. It was the gold that got you distracted. It wasn't was it my mixing techniques. I'm pretty sure I was just like, it's really cool to watch Joe. All I'm glad you got your package today. Hello, Arlene. The next thing I'm using is if I have enough in here, Barry from Color Passion has a base cell color. It is as long as it's a paste, the powders won't give you any magic. Also, if you put a base cell next to a base cell, it kind of cancels out, which is kind of what's going to happen when I use this berry next to the white that I'm using today, because when you have two base cells together, the dispersion that usually happens doesn't have the opportunity to do it because the same chemicals that make the dispersion in the cells. How do I wear this? I need words. I just it just won't work. Oh, the powder. Now, when you have when you have a paste that's a base cell next to a paste, that's a base cell, they just go next to each other. They don't know magic will happen. All right, so I'm actually going to start with some of my black currants. Claire said, add bubble juice to bubble juice and you get the same amount of bubble. They cancel out the bubbles. And what is bubble juice? Was I even mean? Oh, gotcha. I know it doesn't look like much right now. Just just give me a minute. I'll let it pass this time. Did it was it shipped already? Jude, if your order shipped, then I don't I'll do my best. But if it hasn't shipped a few hours a night, right? I'm going to have to change my gloves. Nope, what's up, Shane? Your fire sale stuff is going out this week. By the way, OK, so I have my color down. Now I'm just going to lightly brush my hand over the surface. It streaks purple. Yeah, you should. So I'm not trying to mix the color. I'm just trying to lightly brush it over. I did not grease the pan on this one. Because I want that purple that I put down first to stick pretty well. This could be a finish all on its own. I could stop here. So much more magic to be had just like that. Jude, I don't remember what I said. Does that mean it has already shipped? Send me a text actually email on your next order. In the notes, put the colors that you purchased and I'll add. I'll add them for you, but don't tell anybody. Do you see quick, but no, right, Shane? Hello, David and Jessica. If I give you a supplies order, how long does it normally take to ship? I mean, we ship same day, right? OK, so now I'm using my opaque whites. I sent an email to ask if the order could be rushed to him. Please, please, did you receive it? I've been out of the country. Nope, not out of the country. I have been out of Texas. Nope, I've been out of the city. Currently, I've also been out of my mind. So my apologies, Patricia, but I did have someone here sending orders out. Tudor was here. So your order should have been sent. Vamps writing a note for me to double check it. And it's only the second, so it should get there in no time. Vamps, there's a printer over there in Jeff's corner. All right. Hi, Kimmo.  No worries, Jude, if you sent if you just leave a message on your next order, I'll include that the double up for you there. You can probably always tell when I've been to Rondas because I come back wanting to do finishes. Yes, that is where Claire has been hiding. She's been down with me in Sigwin. OK, so now I'm going to put some of the purple and if I don't like how this looks, I'm going to turn it into a melded marble, which I didn't know what it was till I was at Rondas. So now my heat and tilt. And this is just going to make everything have a more. OK, he said movement. Two faced only because that's my brand and I don't have control over the prices of the other. I would go for the rest of stuff, too. But the number two and then. Nope, the number two. Yeah, so this is shifting like I like it. But I don't like how I applied these purple lines. So I'm going to go in and fix it. But you can see why I did the two different color white. Nope, the two different opacities for the white. Because I wanted to have that harsh white. And the cloudy white. Arlene wants to know what exactly is melded. Melded marble is the equivalent of a melded marble on my channel. It's kind of messy swipes. It's just swipes that go in all kinds of direction. I'll do a melded marble for you guys this week. So because I don't like how this is blowing, I'm just going to swipe through it so that I can straighten out the lines. Someone needs to buy this. I'm going to put some of this black current through. These ones, if you wanted to buy this dance and having a fire sale coming up. Fire sale. I am a piece of art and it's an ATV. Purple with. Oh, Prince. OK, let's swipe this one. And then we're going to retail the resin house of fur. Why do I love that so much? That's basically what this is. Thank you, Kimmo. So I'm going to add some more harsh white lines. I think that Rhonda needs to add swipes through her. Her. Don't judge me. Just wait. If I don't like it, I'll just swipe it. Making this for you. Yes, I need Rhonda to start doing swipes and how model finishes. I think it will add well, some extra. Wow, Joe. Totally get it. No worries. The sale will be on. All weekend. Chris Logan fire sale. Yes, I'm so happy. So fire sale will be Saturday. If you want to give more information. How do you finish the size? So for me, when I finish the size of my piece, I don't even worry about it right now. I will just wait for the piece to cure. And then I'll flip it over onto a towel and spray paint the sides after I sand them down. So for this one, for example, it will be a white. Unless people want organic. It's a lot of people that want to see the story of where the resin flows. And so I'll, I won't spray paint over this, but I'll clean it up. For sure. Now I have gold to add into this, but there's a certain point where you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Oh, gotcha. Here's some bubbles right here. It's bubbles. Last few lines made the piece. So sometimes in my world, marble has those like the harsh fault lines and the cracks. I just wiped my hands out. There's no way I flipped it. Typically, yeah, it'll be a 220. For the sides, it's 220. I use an orbital sander though. Oh yeah, for like the box for the drip system. Yeah. Someone needs to make a call on the gold. Megan said no. Arlene said no. No one in a walk away. Fold them. Yes. No. Joella, I am still surprised you haven't done. How about this? Do I know? What was the question? Question is, should I add gold? Or should I don't add gold? I say leave it for like one. Let's bring you guys in to show you what, where we're at right now. So yeah. So what I did so that you could see through, for example, see how this bit's kind of cloudy. I have one that has barely any white in it, so that you could see through it. I'll say no. The next person will say no. Sorry for all the movement. Sue says crow. I don't know. You already have gold, me is why you're asking. Like, Shane said like teeny, like the thinnest, see how you did right here? Like this little white fracture. Like do that in gold, like the thinnest, barely there. So you're sort of in the middle of my team of no gold. And the other, I would put this on a countertop. I would 100% have that counter. Well, if it were yours, I would bring the, the, the, this color. Yeah. That's true. I could add it in the top cult. I'm going to need you to walk away. Okay. That'd be great. Right today. Um, would you guys prefer if I did a chrome? TG says, now I have to change my countertop to this. Teresa, stop with your camera. I know her countertops are already so nice. I have gold on. Nope. I have gold and silver on standby. Everyone's the purple with chrome. I'm a silver person. You know what? I feel like I have. I have gold in my mouth. That's a color video. And then. So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to leave it. And then if I feel like it needs gold after it lives, then I will. Do gold leaf. Now I'm just taking this because I don't know if I have. Of course, the one time I come over here prepared, I don't need to be prepared. So I'm going to take this over a desk-free zone and then I'm going to tell you guys about some things, some very difficult things. And I hope I don't have a full breakdown.  Come here. Come here. You're okay. Are we going to go say hi? Are we going to go say hi? So if you guys are new, sorry for the movement. This is my little man, Kujo. He's not doing too good. And we took him to the vet today. And long story short, we're going to say goodbye on Tuesday. But because you guys have loved him for a few years, I wanted you to know too, his meds just aren't working anymore. So he has some new meds to keep him comfortable till Tuesday. This weekend we're going to have a fire sale to raise some money for a proper cremation for him. But I know you guys have been asking about him and that's the update.  We're keeping him comfortable till then. Yeah, I'm going to hopefully have the vet come here so that he can be comfortable. Okay, let's go lay down and be right back y'all. There you go baby. Lay when you're there, okay? I'll be right back. Good boy. Sorry about that everyone. I hope I didn't ruin your day, but you guys have loved him for as long as I've been on this on YouTube. So I wanted you to know what was going on with him because if it were Wednesday and you guys were like, well, where's Kujo? And I didn't tell you, I would feel horrible. And everyone understands, I think all the fan has animals and you are doing what is best for him. So anyways, we're going to try to raise money so that we can have the vet come here and do like, I didn't know they did cremations where it's just a whole bunch of animals. But you know what I mean? Like they'll do communal cremation instead of like you're one animal. So you get the remains back.  So that's what's going on in my life. It's difficult, but he's still over there wanting to go outside and see him. He's like, I know that it's time for me to be able to tell you to go outside. So yes, they can do individual and that's what we're going to do for our sale for this time is to have the vet come here to do to make him take a nap and then for them to come pick him up and bring me back him and then find a good way to display his ashes. Anyways, so it's Saturday. I'm sorry. I'm sorry y'all. So anyways, he won't be in pain anymore. Thanks you guys. I know I'm fine. I'm fine. Anyways, if you guys have any questions that I didn't get answered today, please send it to me in an email and I'll get to him as soon as possible and I'll be back live tomorrow. I hope you guys have had an awesome day. Thank you so so much for watching. We love you guys so much and be kind to one another. You never know what someone's going through. You never know what I was going through. So you don't have to and we'll see you tomorrow guys. Bye. I'm gonna show you guys the boys. Hold on. Thank you guys for all the donations. What are you doing, belly? Come here, big boy.  You want to go pee on stuff? Okay. Love you guys. Bye.
