hey guys what is up welcome to my channel so for today's video I am going to be doing a shop or drop if you don't know what it is basically I go through the trend mood Instagram page and I tell you about new makeup releases and my opinions on them and if I'm going to buy them so it's been such a long time since I've done a video like this because honestly there was this little lull of a time where nothing new and exciting was being released so now that all of the spring releases are starting to come out now trend mood is interesting so I'm finally gonna do a video so I need to do these more often so please get on my butt about doing these more often so of course like I said I'm getting all of the photos from the trend mood Instagram page if you do not follow them you need to they have all the latest information on the newest releases and I'm just gonna start from the newest to the older so first things first that looks kind of interesting we have the violet boss sugar crystals eyeshadow palette it's going to be $42 and will be available February 28th on a line and Sephora March 12th online so basically on the top row you have matte shades of a hot pink a orange a yellow blue light blue purple and then you have the shimmer shades of them I guess it looks like it's a palette with different finishes it looks like it would be a waste of money for me so personally I'm not going to pick this up but you know what kudos to you violet boss for making these colorful palettes that a lot of brands are scared to make because they don't think they will sell as well I think this palette is a really cool I think it's a great concept kudos to violet boss for actually making a colorful palette I personally just don't really like the shades of the shimmers they look very close in color together and it just doesn't catch my eye that much moving on we have the it cosmetics confidence in a foundation it comes with 48 shades it's gonna be $32 each foundation which honestly it sounds like a pretty good price for a high-end foundation so right now it's available on it cosmetics we don't know about other retailers I love my it cosmetics CC cream I'm actually very interested in this I'm thinking about ordering it but I also really have no clue what my shade would be and I hate ordering shades online so I'm gonna sleep on it but I might pick this up and maybe do a review on it because I love a cosmetic foundation and this is different than what they've usually come out with we have the ABH Riviera palette so this is for their summer collection it looks like and it is going to be available March 4th on ABH's website so this one is also really fun it's a colorful palette now not all of the shades in here are colorful they did take a little bit of a safe route which honestly the ratio between colorful and neutral shadows isn't too bad usually when brands try to say they have a colored palette it's like 80% neutrals this isn't that and they have a good shades for the neutrals I think in my opinion to me it's not the most pleasing palette but I've been waiting for ABH to come out with a more colorful palette because all of their releases lately have been very neutral and boring and I think this is going to be a great palette for summer and I'm just I'm definitely picking it up because I pick up all of the ABH palettes it's not the most beautiful palette I've ever seen but I'm into it okay so next we have the Huda Beauty rose collections for her bullet lipsticks so these will be available March 14th online at Huda Beauty and Sephora their marketing on this is beautiful they did a good job I'm very attracted to this picture right here it makes me want to purchase them I've also been looking into incorporating more pink lipsticks into my collection I think I'm gonna pass this is the kind of thing where I'll maybe pick up one or two in store after I swatch them and I'm in the store and I want to spend money but I'm definitely not going out of my way to order these online by any means and especially not all of these because I'm sure some of them are super close in color so I might pick one up eventually down the road but as of now I'm in no hurry to pick those up okay so this one was interesting there is a new it looks like tart eyeshadow palette it will be available at Sephora doesn't seem like they know too much about this palette I like the look that the girl has in the picture I'm actually I feel inspired by that I want to create a look kind of like that and I like the palette too but I'm kind of overtart something tells me it's not going to be worth the money so I'm going to pass on it but I'm eyeing it for sure okay so we have the Tom Ford summer collection so it looks like here we have lip color shears not getting any of those that'll be wasted money aqua metal shadows I am interested in those I might pick one up we have lip blush lip balms two bronzers sheer cheek duo a cushion foundation compact and a nail coat okay in reality I'm not picking anything up I'm interested in the eye things because I love liquid eye shadows they're like my favorite thing in the world everything else I have to say pass just because you guys know I love high-end luxury makeup but I haven't dove into Tom Ford yet because that one is like really really really expensive oh we have a more things to add to the 2d fruity line you have this watermelon palette which to be quite honest looks terrible let's see hangover spray haven't even tried that so I'm not even that interested in it basically everything in this collection now the stuff that I did try from the first 2d fruity collection I didn't like so why are they adding more and that palette just looks terrible anything else interesting so March 1st busy art is coming out with two new eyeshadow palettes you guys know I am obsessed with busy art love their shadows so we have the sole and the apricot teen apricot teen apricot time apricot I sound like an idiot right now I promise you I'm not anyways this will be available March 1st on Beauty Lish and I might already have them stay tuned oh my gosh I posted about this on my Instagram so Colourpop is coming out with a collection with I think it's Zoella yeah Zoella I don't know I never really watched her on YouTube but she started off as kind of like a youtuber she's grown quite large the collection looks so cute looking at the sneak peek of the palette it looks a little boring but the packaging I'm so into it it's like brunch date super cute so I definitely need to see more sneak peeks of this collection before I go into it but I might pick up something because the packaging is so cute but I need to see more oh okay so we have the makeup forever let's gold palette it's going to be $45 that doesn't sound right but I hope it is $45 I believe it's coming out March 8th I'm not too sure but yes I'm going to be purchasing this it looks gorgeous and I love the last palette that they made that was similar to this so I'm so pumped to pick this up you guys have no idea so Charlotte Tilbury is coming out with a new eyeshadow palette called the icon palette and then some liquid lipsticks it will be available February 28th online yes I am picking up the eyeshadow palette I want to see the lip products first in store before I commit to buying any of the lip products but I am going to pick up the icon palette for the sake of my channel I think it's really pretty I know I have some Charlotte Tilbury lovers on my channel so I do want to check it out for you guys okay then we have the Dior amber palette it's from the backstage collection and you guys know I was it won't you might not know but I was obsessed with the backstage collection but I didn't actually pick up any of the eyeshadow palettes so there is no release date on this but this is the Dior pretty amber eyeshadow palette and let me release some information to you guys I didn't even tell trend mood about this it's online on the Dior website I ordered it a few days ago and it's supposed to come into the mail today so I knew it before trend mood just saying as of now they haven't posted anything about it okay so as we go down trying to look for any other significant releases so we have the two-faced cocoa contour palette coming in the spring I won't be picking that up because I don't need a contour palette but if I did need a contour palette I think I would pick that up because it smells like chocolate and 10 out of 10 recommend their chocolate smelling products okay and stupid to face again chill out dude but they have a whole collection called natural lust the only thing I'm eyeing up from the collection is the eyeshadow palette I wanted to have it but I probably probably don't take my word for it I'm going to pass but I wanted to have it so it basically is the same as the natural love palette but the new updated version this I actually was about to declutter out of my collection I don't need it as soon as I was about to declutter that they released the information on that and I don't know yet if I'm going to pick it up I think it's really pretty and I almost want to compare the old one to the new one so I'm holding on to that old one just in case I'm on the fence about it so once time gets closer to its release date I will decide then it definitely it looks a lot more bright and peachy and apricotty and I'm digging the vibes I am okay so at this point everything is looking pretty boring and repetitive so I'm just gonna stop there those are the releases that kind of caught my eye that I want to talk about with you guys so I hope you guys enjoyed this video of shopper drop I know this whole shopper drop video I didn't even say I was gonna shop something or drop something once so I'm very disappointed myself like what I need you guys to remind me to do these more often if you like them so I hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know what you're interested in picking up and what you're not interested at all in picking up and I hope to see you guys in the next video bye guys have a great day


And here we have the new Canon mirrorless, so hi, so who are you? I'm Mike Bernhill, I am the sort of product specialist for the EOS R and many other Canon products. And this is a 50mm prime? This is the 50mm RF 1.2, it's our new sort of one of our new demonstration lens of what the new RF mount is capable of regarding resolution, etc. So what's the spec on that one? It's a f1.2 that's very, very bright. It's very bright, it's probably the fastest autofocus lens for any mirrorless camera that's currently on the market. Again, this lens is all about resolution and providing the ultimate sort of image quality, but still being able to have a very fast aperture of 1.2. Very fast, but is it going to be expensive? Well, it's all comparative I suppose, it's a little bit more expensive than the existing 50mm 1.2 is already on the market, but again, it's a brand new lens and you know, image quality comparisons, the image quality of this are vastly more expensive than this, so this is almost a bargain if you want to look at picture quality-wise. And so this new full-frame mirrorless is a big, big deal, right? For Canon, for the industry. Oh, well, this is the start of a new journey for Canon and our customers, it's introducing our new RF mount, which opens up a whole range of new potentials for products going forward. Yeah, just so I can see, so it's a full-frame sensor, yeah, it uses our sort of dual-pixel CMOS technology, which allows us to do amazing AF functionality, so we have the ability to focus down to minus 6 EV, which is kind of really, really dark, it's like shooting in almost pitch black. We have an amazing 565 and 55 AF positions you can select, so basically you can select anywhere you want it, it's exactly where you want to select. And again, the AF chip and the new 24105 are very combined, that's the fastest AF of any sort of product market. Can we power it on? Of course we can. Yeah, so it's got the switch right there, and it has something a lot of people like. Yes, the old very annual display, so if you're vlogging or any of the self-portraits you can actually see what is going on. Some companies don't do that for some reason. It's the having this, again, the patent on the hinge and the mechanisms of, you're worried about the body size, thickness, you know, but we've always had this sort of on many of our products and we feel it's the best way to allow a lot of people to shoot in different angles, you can shoot down, you can shoot up, or I can shoot, you know. So this is just a start you say, right? Yeah, this is the start. Is that your USR1? No, it's just R. We don't want to, you know, we slowly built the line, we don't want to position the camera in any particular one position, just to give you a say, this is a 5D or 6D replacement. It's about starting the journey and starting our point and the R is kind of introducing the whole RFR system. So it's got the dual pixel AF, can we go down here, because they're going to start our live streaming here too, so let me just come up here and see, let's sit right here. So it's got the very, very powerful and precise autofocus. Yes. For video too. Yeah, again, we've introduced the same technology a while back in our C300 and C200, the dual pixel runs through all the sort of canons or products, it's kind of one of our unique kind of technologies that no one else has. And obviously for video you can use the same touchscreen to pull focus between two points and that speed is varied depending on the menu setting, so you get a nice smooth focus pull if you want to, or you can have an instantaneous kind of response. So these are the sort of options are available. So there's just a couple of things, people are kind of criticizing on the Internet, the single card slot and the crop and 4K, but you're saying it's the first one, so there might be some more video centric versions. This product is aimed at the kind of photo enthusiast, this is its core market that we was designed for, and when we were looking at designing it, we were looking at the feature set that customer set wants, so the important things for those customers were great AF, compatibility with their existing AF system, a good EVF, these kind of things were high priority. What was lower priority for those type of customers from feedback, and you could solve the same sort of feedback on things like DP review, etc, they did the same sort of surveys and canon rumours, that card slots were lower on their priority and obviously video only about 20% of this market are into video and 4K is even smaller percentage, so looking at what feature set were important to the customer, we prioritized those over something else, so we prioritized having a better EVF over maybe having a 4 frame 4K sensor, because that will appeal to more customers and they will find that more useful than the 4 frame 4K. But there is a potential that maybe, so the video guys perhaps could wait a little bit, but maybe there's going to be one with IBIS also, because IBIS is a big deal too. Yeah, we totally understand what the video market wants, and then again, this is not maybe the product for them, and then we will obviously look at introducing products either end of this sort of product, entry level that will be easier to use, and we will look at higher end ones, and we will look at video focus ones, and we will look at those features, so a video focus one or a professional one will have dual card slots, because that's what those markets need. And again, IBIS is something we're looking at, and we understand them in the video industry, it's much more important for vlogging like yourself, to see the benefit, but for a lot of entry level photographers who are shooting landscapes, but this sort of product will fit in very nicely in portraits, that is less of a priority, so it's putting the technologies and features in that will appeal to them, and not affect the pricing, because again, pricing is kind of, you know, there's no point in having a product that is perfect for a market if it's twice the price of what the market is willing to pay for it. And I just did an awesome video about the new Camcorder XF705, and it has H265 42210 bit internal 4K60, all this stuff would be so cool in there. Yeah, again, this technology is slowly moving towards potential, but again, it doesn't really fit into the core demographic where this was really going to sell towards, but we totally get it, and we see, you know, we're talking to the broadcasters and these new codecs have great possibilities to transmit videos and edit, and all these getting smaller, you know, it's slowly moving forward, and this is obviously a fantastic product to launch these technologies at the high end, but as you see with this product, it's more 62 pricing, but it brings some of the technology from the 5D4 with the more expensive camera down, and that's what Canon often do, we take the technology from the high end and we bring it into a lower end, and also we like to kind of introduce products in the mid-range area, because that's a bigger user base, and they will use the product more than professionals, they'll provide great feedback that will help steer us in a better direction where the market will go and what the product should do. One other thing I saw is that people said that it would be nice if there was something else here than just an on-off switch, that's just maybe, maybe you're getting a lot of feedback, because maybe you can just have an on-off switch somewhere else, and usually people have a dial here, but you're able to do as much as a dial with this new setup. Well, you can actually, with the dial, you've only got two things, you can spin it around one way or another, but this you've actually got three operations, you can either stroke it across, or you can tap either end, so you can actually set three different functionalities, so for example ISO, I can change my ISO by stroking this, or I can tap this to go to my favorite ISO, or I tap that end, it goes to auto ISO, so you can actually set different parameters, or I can do this for white balance, so you can set the two different white balance temperatures either side, if you wanted to, or you can mix and match it, so I tap one end, it can be focus, eye focus, I can stroke this, change my white balance, or I tap that, and it goes to my favorite ISO, so you can really mix and match this control and to do more than one thing, a dial, you can either go left or right, it can't do, you know, can't be so many... Up and down also, and... Well, you know, with dial it's going around, but it's only controlling one thing, you're... Maybe it's the joystick, I guess. I focus control joystick, but obviously one of the joys of the new camera, the new types of interfaces that we're introducing, is this is a touchscreen, so this actually becomes a mouse pad, so when you're using a viewfinder, I can use my thumb to drag the AF point around the screen, so I can set the AF point anywhere I want, much quicker than I could with the joystick. It's kind of, I'm just doing that, it's very organic, with the joystick, you've only got mechanical switches, so you're moving in jumps, here it's very fluid, and it's very smooth and seamless operation. So, and again, coupled with the 5,000 AF points, wherever I set the AF point, that's where it focuses, it's not slightly to the left, not slightly to the right, but exactly that position. There's maybe a potential that people with their nose that might activate stuff on the screen. No, that's not going to happen. No, again, there's a sensor that turns that off, but obviously the joy he's talking about, big noses, is that the fact that this has the largest eye point of any of the mirrorless cameras on the market, so therefore your eye doesn't have to be as close to the viewfinder, as would say, other cameras, and you still get the 100% viewfinder view. So, again, no touching is not an issue. So, yeah, but it's exciting you get into the full-frame mirrorless. What do you think is going to be the market share of mirrorless compared to DSLR? Well, I think the interesting thing about mirrorless various as DSLR is that it's why you see so many cameras coming today, is the fact that mirrorless wasn't quite universal across the world. People made a lot of noise in different areas, but those, if you went back to the DSLR days, you could apply the same rule across many countries. So, how many cameras sold in the USA? You could times or divide by number to work out in another country. It was quite universal. It was very similar sort of how it worked, but mirrorless it all went all kind of weird. So, in Japan it was very high, but US was very low. Although there's a lot of noise in US, sales were very, very low, considering DSLRs. And now we're seeing that slow shift. It's sort of more stabilizing across globally. So, that's why you see so many mirrorless cameras being launched at this trade show. But, again, customers will decide which cameras kind of, you know, go forward. We see some markets still very traditionalist in SLRs. That's what they've educated. That's what they've kind of traditionally kind of know. And there is a cultural side to what they expect from a camera. So, we'll see other markets maybe flip very quickly to mirrorless, but other markets take a lot longer. And basically, the customers will decide not sort of canon, et cetera, if the mirrorless lives and DSLR dies. Because maybe Canon is a little bit careful about not cannibalizing the DSLR market when this product was conceived or not necessarily. It's just providing what's out there, letting consumer choose. Yeah, exactly. In the past we might have been quite conservative. But, again, we've brought features from the 5D4 into this price point. And we're pricing it at a lower price point, more like a 6D2. So, that's obviously going to affect sales of the 5D4 and the 6D2. So, we can't really be scared of cannibalizing sales. If we're scared of cannibalizing sales, there are other companies out there who actually were happily eating to our sales for us. They're working very hard to get people to move over to the mirrorless. Exactly, yeah. So, if we don't do something to be too conservative or worry, then it's a lose-lose situation. So, we have to be brave and accept that not everyone will want this product and maybe someone wants this product. But, giving customers a choice is not a bad thing. You know, it can only be good for a customer. So, I think Sonya in the press conference said something about... You know, they have lots of lenses, but their mount is a little bit smaller. And they claim that it's not an advantage to have a bigger one, but it's not true. Well... For example, you can do stuff that's better with this size mount. But, to go back to basic optical principles, the best lens you can have is basically a glass that's roughly the same size as the sensor. Fairly close up. Therefore, the light from that glass hits the sensor straight. By having a smaller rear element, you're actually having to bend light to the corners. When you're bending light, this is where you get the chromatic aberration on the sensor, the purple fringing and vignetting and all these issues. So, having that large mount means we can have a large rear diameter optic that would allow the light to travel straight to the sensor. So, it gives you much more flexibility in your design. You're not constrained from what lens design is. To fix things, you put piece of glass in. And every piece of glass you put in creates another problem that you didn't have to correct. You know, it's a kind of compromise with how many pieces of glass you're willing to put in to get the ultimate performance and not knock out another performance. So, you can prove sharpness, but that may affect stigmatism. So, you're doing all this kind of balancing. So, trying to make the lens design as simple as possible. Therefore, provide the best quality. And having that large diameter means we can move the optics further back into the mount and have them, still have them quite large that covers the four frame sensor. And this has new high performance kind of generation of autofocus compared to the DSLR lenses or? Well, it's coupled, yeah. There are two things that drive us forward. There is the new Geopix sensor. Geopix CMOS sensor, it says. That is one of the things. So, it gives us the fantastic number of AF positions. It also allows a low lightability. But what the key thing on this whole system is the new RF mount. So, it's not just about the size, the diameter, but it's the whole principle of things, you know. The fact that the information that travels between here and the body is many, many, many times faster than previous lenses. So, therefore, the whole speed system is faster. There's also the processes in the lens. So, when we zoom, for example, with the zoom lenses, the aperture system automatically adjusts itself. In the auto system, the camera told the lens what to do. And that caused a delay. But you know, with the sort of a 24-1 advice, when you zoom, you'll see a slight flicker as you zoom because the aperture is changing to compensate for the zoom. That is because there's a delay between the mechanism in the camera and the lens communicating. Now, the lenses know what's happening and can compensate that in real time. So, therefore, you see very little flicker between systems. The aperture system in these new lenses is also designed to work an eighth of a stop. So, again, for video operations going forward, you can move in very small increments and get very seamless exposure change than most of the systems. So, most of the lens systems only move in a quarter or a third of a stop. So, if you change your aperture, you will get a slight pulse in the exposure as it kind of varies brightness. But with an eighth of a stop, that becomes almost seamless. So, you don't notice any flashing or strobing as you change aperture. So, there's lots of little communication things that we're building into these lenses for the future that may not be visible today. You know, there are many more contacts than we are using, right, 12 contacts. But some of these can support higher data rates and more power than previous lenses so we can do more going forward. If you think of the EF mount when we introduced it in 87, it was designed for a camera of one single AF point. And now, you know, we've got hundreds or thousands of AF points going forward. And cinema, EOS, and shooting, video, and digital weren't even thought about when that mount was created but that mount survived and allowed these sort of systems to develop. And what we wanted to do is make a mount that can do the same for the future. So, trying to incorporate technology that may not be available today but allow expansion to do with the things in the future. So, it's future proof? Yeah, we're trying to make this future proof as possible. It's always, you know, totally impossible to see what the future will hold but we can try to put as many systems in place that allow expansion that won't cause bottlenecks in the future, which means we have to scrap a system and start again by making the system as open and advanced in sort of its communication protocols that allow much more to be done. Again, things like the control ring on here. Every lens now has a control ring which can be customized to either be the aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, or ISO. So, this gives you another direct control interface to a control that you want. And if you want to, it clicks which is great for the Nintendo market but it can be de-clicked if you want it to be used for video. And this is also extended into the adapters. Obviously, there are three adapters on launch. There's the standard adapter that allows EF lens to be used. There is an adapter with a control ring. So, if you are using EF lenses, you get the same operation across all your lenses. You can adapt or change the shutter speed or aperture from the lens. And the third adapter has a drop-in filter holder which will sell two kits of. One with a variable ND and one with a circular polarizer which means, you know, again, great for video but also great for landscape and architectural photographers who are using very wide-angle lens like the TSC 17 or 11 to 24 which have these very big curvature lenses so you can't attach filters. So now you can actually apply polarizer to a landscape or architectural and again, or available neutral density if you want to do a long exposure to blur up people moving around, et cetera. But so those adapters are not going to make magic in like bringing all these functions to all the older lenses, right? The new native R lenses have something to step up. Yeah, again, it's all about designing a new language. So it's a new high-speed protocols and processes are all in the new lenses because of the change in the body depth between the old system. The new lenses both physically fit on because of the mount design but also because they wouldn't focus on affinity. Again, they'll be too close to the sensor so you wouldn't be able to use them anyway to get, you know, for many usages anyway. But the adapters allow all the EF series lenses to be used on this camera. In fact, one of the things we're proud of is the, in our caveats for what lenses you can't use, there is really only one lens that we say is not fully compatible. And that's an EF35-80F456 power zoom lens from 1991. And that lens, the power zoom doesn't work but everything else works. So every lens we've launched since 1987 will work as well on this camera or if not better because you will have the low lightability. But what would be the video autofocus speed on all these older lenses? Again, obviously those motors weren't designed for video so they're designed for stills. They're kind of, they're not smooth. They're stop-start. They were designed for stills so you kind of got to that position very quickly. If you want to describe it as a early camcorder kind of lens, you kind of jump focus because that's what you needed to do for a still. You wanted to see the autofocus for sharp. That's what you need. You don't need that nice transition through. So again, using the new motors at the Nano-USN and the new ring types and the new STMs, they're all these gear towards video so giving you a nice smooth kind of focus change. But we've kind of, you know, if you want to do that kind of with the older lenses, you can still manually focus. So we've incorporated technology. We've borrowed from the Cinemaree also. We've got the focus guide, which is a nice little manual indicator that tells you where you're near or front focused and you can manually focus with that. And obviously it's a really good focus speaking as well. And so you have three lenses. Did you see four lenses? Four, four. And do you announce how many it's going to be in the next few days? No, we're going, we've never kind of never really introduced a roadmap. Probably the lenses are quite complex beasties. So when they slip on a roadmap, you know, if something's not going right, you have to redesign the mechanics. It's not something you can fix overnight in software. You have to go back. So roadmaps fluctuate quite a lot. So we do want to promise something that we wouldn't be able to deliver. But we are committed to producing three next year, three 2.8, kind of the trilogy lenses. So you kind of a long 7200 type and 2470s and 1635 type series will kind of be introduced next year. And there are other lenses we are hoping to introduce, but with lenses on it's never as easy to say, we can guarantee when it will come out. So we don't want to kind of make a promise we can't keep. And when are you delivering? Of the camera? Yeah. The sales start is the first week of October. So that's like next week? Basically, yeah. People can get it or just pre-order? Pre-orders available now and the first shipment from the factory, from the factory to the dealers, et cetera, we will start the first week of October. So it depends on what region you're in. So I think sales start is looking around about the ninth depending on the country. And can you give me an exclusive? So for the video version that has 4K 60, no crop and eye-base, no that, no I'm joking. Hopefully they will be soon, maybe. We're not deaf, we've been listening to things on the internet and people were saying and we totally get what they want and it's far, yeah. But unfortunately- It's kind of an invented dual as slots. Yeah, we had it in the 1D2, yeah. Yeah, we had it in the 1D Mark II and we totally get why it's important and why people need it. But all the research showed for the target market for this product that even if they've got cameras with a dual card slot, they're only put one card in because they're taking photographs for themselves. Well, if you're a photo professional business and you're imaging money and you lose all the images, you don't get paid, dual cards make perfect sense and once that product is aimed at those guys, yeah, of course, it's going to have dual card slots. But we don't want to put features into the camera that people don't use. It's better to concentrate on the stuff that they will use or something that will make their life easier, like better auto-focusing or usability or the interfaces. These are things that will affect everyday users and will affect 100% of the customer base rather than kind of a smaller percentage. But yeah, if there's a video-orientated camera, we will kind of look at all these kind of wish lists and try to get as many of those features in. And if you needed to do no-crab 4K video, that means a new sensor design, right? Maybe a sensor that's not yet in the Canon portfolio. Yeah, you need to have a new sensor, you need the high-tech processors, the power units, the heat. Well, yeah, we're kind of getting in with this body of how we're kind of designing the system and it gives us this ability to, because it uses an Electroskeleton, so most cameras have a chassis inside and everything is hung off the chassis and you bolt the outside to it. This is basically, the outside is the skeleton and everything is attached to the inside, so you've got direct access to the heat points to the outside of the body. So we're learning on these kind of technologies to, you know, we can take them forward into the next products and have those issues addressed before we get to them. Cool, but there are some very exciting Photokina, very cool, there's so much new stuff happening. Yeah, it's great. It's never been in such an exciting time.  And, you know, it's a very good time for the industry and it's so is the industry is still live, you know, the photography isn't dead, smartphones haven't taken over. Dual Pixel is awesome. Dual Pixel is one of our crown jewels. It does allow us to do stuff that other manufacturers can't and it basically can only get better. In fact, you know, one of my amusing stories is, you know, Dual Pixel was actually started by the Canon engineers in 1981. 81? 81, if you will, back to the history books in 81, we introduced the sort of the AL1 and we had these like zoom lenses that had a AF sensor in and the engineers worked out, oh, we could use a CMOS, a CCD and actually use that for measuring focusing, but then they worked up the cast and the processing. So they put that to one side and they went through a basic kind of a measuring sensor and then we got into the EOS 650 and they thought, oh, on this project, maybe we could look at a CCD again to Dual Pixel to work up focusing. Again, time, cost, processing was too much. And then we got into the digital era with, you know, so when we got to the D30 and that's when we kind of went, actually now is the time we can start to look at this technology and that's when we kind of went back to focus on it and then we fine-tuned it ever since. Nice, so thanks a lot for this interview, it was awesome. I have to stop because I'm filming on the Sony and it's just about to overheat. Oh, okay. Now I'm joking, there's a 30-minute limit, which you don't, you have a 30-minute limit also, but- Yeah, the 30-minute limit is, it's really kind of at the moment that most of the cameras- EU tax, right? EU tax, but yeah. Maybe there's a way to sell a plugin, let people unlock the unlimited or maybe not, not yet. Yeah, I think the problem is, you know, there is a problem is as the camera's gone more popular, it basically becomes more difficult because it's all down to like the number of units sold. And how many people wanted it? And how many people wanted it, so we, you know, maybe after Brexit, maybe there'll be like a UK version. That's where Brexit was voted, I think. Yeah, maybe. Because of the EU tax on the 30 minutes. No, it was all to do with the 30-minute recording, yeah, so obviously one in the UK will have like your infinite recording and those people in mainland Europe will be stuck with 30 minutes. Joking. Thank you. Okay.


So we are finally ready to start this little very short now five minutes short to talk about new Features in this trace. I'm Dmitry. I am a maintainer of stress for quite some time and today I'll give a short talk about new features just just a few of them because well most of Stuff we are doing is quite boring and nothing to talk about But very important for these features and other new features to work But if you're really curious, you can have a look at these notes and find dig out all the boring stuff is there But today I'll stop Remind you about fault injection. I was talking about last year and we'll talk about new features some of them are already included and already released and Some are still being merged So this is a recollection from the last year For the injection if you just happen to miss this new feature it's very unusual for traditional stress that you can tamper with system calls like in this simple example or Well, you actually can inject any kind of fault in any system call you specify like in those invocations you want and This is also from last year's talk. It's a real bark was found in Python that's So already fixed now, but you can see that it just failed to check return code from OpenSeas call and from Reese's call and that resulted to sick falls because then just accessed and Fixed upset from an old pointer another bark was fixed in Dynamic linker in Glypsy Pretty harmless bark, but still it was a bark was ignored Setting protection Some portion of memory expected to be inaccessible, but it failed to check this and it remained accessible This is not good But it was fixed also So this is just a quicker correction from the last year's talk if you are more interested you can just Have a look at it and play with it. It's very useful feature. You can use it for like regression testing We we actually use it in this unit of a stress itself, so you're welcome and We implemented more features in this direction So there is a new option called inject that can inject not just false to see schools, but other kinds of things like Signals to school vacations other kinds of return codes that are not that useful and also Delay injection. This is last. This is a quite new feature. It's not yet merged that you can inject delays in invocations on entrances call on any existences calls and Like if a stress wasn't slow enough You can make it even slower in specific cases as you can see in this example like home Odors of magnitude is slow one to like three orders of magnitude slower. Just those specific schools you want to besides this silly examples where you can also Well silly I Actually been asked several times that people wanted to slow down some schools to throttle network traffic For example and those tools they that don't implement this like slow down rates on or sends or some other schools another kind of use for this feature is like in fault injection case is for Regression tasting where you can Specifically slow down some process that's expected to finish some to complete some operation very fast And if another process or thread is waiting for it for a fixed time, this will fail So this way you can do that kind of inject some delays that affect control flow Let's do this my talk consists of small blocks and if you have questions When you see this thing like five slash five it's the end of block and you can ask them right now if you want If not, let's move on to another block so This year actually last two years. We've been a project Mmm It was a Google some of code just a project of two years that implemented parts of for netline traffic The first year was a pretty ground very groundwork And last year we implemented the most popular between protocols starting with the route and you can see like nine of them and And more are going to be implemented this year thing Hopefully How does it look?  IP tool sees from the kernel Let's this is going to be a very impressive picture be prepared That's what's going under the hood you see this is very structured output. I Did some coloring it's manual. Sorry. I did it by hand. So but you can see that I mean The tool it doesn't see any colors. It's a structures Oh, sorry It's just very simple. You will see schools but without all these structures. It would be just String or pointer depending on what kind of as you you know, we've sent to it would be instead of this Instead of this structure that starts here Yeah, we carry brackets. It was it would see what? Sorry, it would see just in all the stresses. We would see just a string Binder thing that means nothing but here you see here like a Structured output almost No, this is a little crowd, but are also supported You can see on this None of them So it's almost like a nothing debugger without probably Can't really inject all this stuff inside the program, but you can see all this Gory details, so then let's go on Another set of features we implemented is related to Cisco specifications as traces you probably know have a lot of Filtering like it can filters is calls by classes This time we decided to add some more classes, but to avoid Collisions with system calls. We added prefix. So all new system call classes started with prefix Sign and all all traditional system System call classes are also have this prefix. So these are traditional and we also did like For different start family syscalls You can see in this example how it looks like what does it mean two persons just the way to describe all Start process family syscalls Why so so many? How do how many f start system calls do we have in the nooks can do a thing? Five Why five well 64-bit architectures usually have two of them 32 bits also too, but different and there's also an engine system call that modern architectures don't have But you don't have to worry about all these details just use the system call class name That's all as you can see in this example On the 20 on the on the 27th year of the project we decided We found out what we don't still have support for regular expressions How could that be? So what did this and you can see that the same example from a previous slide could be could be Like Using you can do the same thing using regular expressions. I don't think it looks easier to use but With the regular expressions you can do all different things. Oh, thank you The time is going back I Another feature of system system call specifications is conditional expressions as you probably know System calls are added like every or almost every new Linux kernel release and They are not added to all architectures at the same time. It's not normally the case for example the recent From the stat family called stat X. It was added for many architectures, but not for all and for example, you you write a somewhat portable script using a strace You will get into the situation that it works in most cases, but doesn't work on a Monish architectures like Italian where statics up to this point is not yet right up so to Using this conditional specification you can work around this and this is a real case example you will probably Seen this or we'll see in future that GNU lip see switched from open to open it internally and also to for implementing open Library call so if you used to trace by open it no longer works starting with with glip see 2.26 But if you switch to open it you won't be able to trace Older glipsies. It's not good So you can use the list But it's not portable because open is not available on some architectures So how can write a portable stray script You can use a regular expression or you can use a condition so There are two examples which one is easy to read. Do you think a regular expression or condition? I Think addition. That's why we added condition despite that With the regular expressions you can describe the same thing, but it's usually looks more complex Yes It's it it says that this is called Specification doesn't happen to match any real system call So you can write full bar and it will stress will not trace any for bar because there are no for bars is cool Yeah, if you Just type SS call or regular expression that doesn't match any CS call the stress will not run It will issue an error as you can see Yes, sorry Why not make a condition the default behavior was the question First of all, you won't detect any accidental errors people do errors Sometimes It will be a change of behavior and for the project of 26 or 27 year old It's not a good idea actually to change Behavior in a backward and incompatible way for not a Not really good reason Okay, the last topic is advanced is called filtering syntax This was implemented also as a part of Google Summer of code project last year and it allows even more flexible specification of these calls for example You can trace by file description number Without well the traditional syntax you can just either trace by specification as you can see who could see before or you can dump by For description number now you can combine all these things you can combine actions Default is trace you don't have to specify it. It's written here Trace but you can omit it as you can see on following slides. You can also combine Different kind of things like you can as you can send this example you can trace read syscall and Dump only those syscalls that access a specific file this way you will see that in slightly artificial example You can see that some program accesses Different things but we dump on the laws of them that are actually interesting why dumping them the zero could be interesting They think well, I've seen once it was not a device, but a file in real life It was not a good idea to replace the zero with the file. I think somebody just with a Super user privileges are directed output there and Some also did something like this stupid thing and well You can use logical expressions like and not brackets This way you can do very flexible filtering As you can see you can select only of those syscalls that Look with files, but doesn't take Descriptors as arguments or and doesn't return descriptors is written as their return value or you can all kinds of combinations logical expressions As you can see in these examples in the first example you don't see anything Just As you could expect cut Works with a file it opens it it does something with it, but you don't see all these syscalls on the doors that are specified this is another example of that kind of Combination you can use Like Before this you you couldn't specify what kind of Syscalls you want to stack trace So all syscalls in traditional syntax all syscalls selected for tracing would be Sectorized if you request it now you can select which of those syscalls that are traced are actually the stack traced So you can see This program accesses description number one, but we're interesting. We're interested only in those Closes called to have a look where it goes from as you can see It's it's from exit hunter. So what cut probably does it installs an exit handle that closes Standard output and it's actually what's happening as you can see in this example So that's most more or less all This Who's this living this is a basket over a stress Up to last year had no musket So we're very happy that we have one meet our new musket If you have any questions Yes, please I So the question was why one might want to filter something in a stress rather than Pass a stress output right well Tracing makes things slow If you don't need something then you don't trace it you don't pass always Imagine how many syscalls you you have to issue to fetch all this memory From tracing if you don't need this you just don't that's why Yes, please Yes, it's not really net link tracing it's It's advanced parsing of the Traffic that goes Because by default if it's treated as a string It means nothing or almost nothing It's a parsing. It's not additional tracing capability. It's additional parsing of things So this is cause are the same or It could be any kind of syscall it could be just read right Yes, please Other things which are sometimes very helpful to understand We don't have parsing for DNS protocols and I'm not sure because it's not Something you can distinguish from a socket for example once the socket is a net link socket you can find it's out So I can at least I could filter by potency make that trace filter whatever Would be a nice feature and now I see that it's really impressive and some more Final blobs getting So it probably would make sense to implement some kind of plug-in system to So one would so one would just implement a posture for this chunk of memory the states would fetch it and Give to a plug-in to Destination whatever Sorry, and then have a set of rules from Tracing something at that part that's destination that system called something use this plug-in for analyzing code. Yeah, for example It's not really a wire shot it's a straight For a complex problem and you only want to see what's going on the network before you're made for example, that's your things Yes, this also could make sense. Yeah Thank you And the wheel just make an interface to I want to have the feature in this place finally just get this one of our for Yeah, this makes things Not to replicate all this work making why shark and to speed up and what whatever else? Yeah Any more questions We can choose something for a name Yes, I think it's it starts. Yes He's nice, isn't it? Any more questions no, and thank you


Northern blotting. Northern blotting is another molecular biology technique which is used for detection of specific RNA sequence from RNA samples. The procedure how northern blotting is performed that is isolation of the messenger RNA then separation of RNA according to their size on the denaturing agarose gel. Once there is separation of the RNA with the help of agarose gel then there is a transfer of RNA to a solid spot, fixation of the RNA and then hybridization of immobilized RNA to probes complementary to the sequence of the interest. So this is a similar technique where in case of Northern blotting and in case of Southern blotting we see that the procedure in case of Northern and Southern is almost similar. Here we are working with the messenger RNA but in case of Southern we work with DNA. Removal of the probe molecules that are non-specifically bound to solid matrix detection, capture and analysis of an image of specifically bound probe molecules. Northern blotting is another molecular biology technique which is used to identify specific sequence of messenger RNA from samples of the messenger RNA.


Hey Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right in this video We are gonna talk about my bread and butter bolos items that I sold on eBay for $35 or less. I'm gonna tell you where I got it. What a paid for it and what it's sold for So let's get started here with the first one. The first one is this vintage toy turtle It's rubber and it's made in Hong Kong and you can see right here. It says Hong Kong on the bottom There it is Hong Kong this guy's old I sold him for a best offer of $16 buyer was all in for 2250 and I got it at a garage sale for 25 cents The next item are these four Victoria's Secret plush dogs and this one and This lot right here. I sold these to a viewer Pinky's second-hand store definitely check out her eBay store. She has amazing items really great deals But she bought two of these 2789 and 2169 plus shipping on those This is a pick me pops pajama llama plush toy doll Lama corn unicorn tie-dye slime shirt and I got this at a Garage sale for 50 cents sold it for $9 and 30 cents in the buyer page shipping and Back to these. These are the Victoria's Secret plush dogs I don't think I said that and I got these at a garage sale on a big bulk buy and it's been Several years ago and I lauded them up. I'm not sure if selling them individually would have been better But let me know what you guys think down in the comments They did take a little while to sell in groups The next item is this cabbage patch kids cuties turtle 2009 retired doll and it does have a defect I can't remember what it is, but it has the original tags right there on the nose and I got this out of a thrift store mystery toy box sold it for a best offer of 15 The buyer was all in for 25 10 This is a spark create imagine plush teddy bear dinosaur costume I feel like this is one of the brands that the rebel reseller says that she does well with this spark. Maybe I Think she said it's a good bread and butter. I can't remember. I could be wrong Got it at the Goodwill bin sold it for $11 and 16 cents plus shipping you guys let me know down in the comments if You remember what rebel said about spark? All right, this is a Lincoln logs little prairie farmhouse pink gate plastic Replacement part got this at the Goodwill bins took a best offer of $8 and the buyer paid shipping. This is just a replacement part These are Christmas candy cane swirl lollipop ornaments. They're just like a plastic material super super cute They did take a little while to sell I got them out of a thrift store Christmas mystery box Sold them for 12 and the buyer paid shipping. It's amazing because by the time you add in tax and shipping The buyer is all in for 21 at 56 for these So, you know, it's really really hard when you're pricing things because you have to take into consideration that the buyer has to pay those taxes and that shipping and overall what they're paying for the item because I Think about when I'm purchasing things and I'm like, oh my goodness once I add tax and shipping It's gonna be like this much money. So it really does add up Cloud be gentle draft plush. This is a crib sleep soother sound machine Got it at the Goodwill bins. So Goodwill bins is by weight So most of these stuffed animals that I get at the bins are one to two dollars I would say sold this for 14 and the buyer paid shipping This is 12 skeins Is it skeins or Skynes? I don't remember Everybody says I say it wrong It is what it is it's embroidery floss guys, it's just embroidery floss I took a best offer of nine dollars on this in the buyer paid shipping this price here is before my sale kicked in so I Usually run anywhere from 35 to 38% off when I have sales But I have sold eight of these and I have 17 left I decided to do them in lots of 12 and I have a whole bunch. So they are selling. Oh And let me show you this if you want to learn how to Create a coupon buy one get one 25% off with code BOLO coupon at checkout I do have a video that teaches you how to do this Just go into the YouTube search for put BOLO buddies coupon and it will pull that up and teach you how to do it This is a vintage Village 3d house needlepoint. It's on canvas. It is so stinking adorable Funny thing is I was at a garage sale and I saw all of these and I did not buy them and I found them at the Goodwill. I think a week or two later and I bought them at the Goodwill $3.50 cents in this sold it for a best offer of 22 and the buyer paid shipping These are vintage novelty safety cloth diaper pins. They are vintage Got these at an estate sale for 50 cents sold them for a best offer of 7 plus shipping Here's another one of those houses. These were doing really good $3.50 total cost of goods sold it for 26 best offer Firepaid shipping this one. I mean just look at all the details with the deer. Oh, it's so cute This is a universal studio is a black King Kong gorilla 8 plus stuffed animal with sewn eyes I got this at the Goodwill bin so probably around a dollar and Sold it for a best offer of 12 plus shipping This is a Chuck E cheese birthday rock star metal medallion with purple lanyard got this at the Goodwill bin So probably a dollar or less sold it for $14 and 30 cents plus shipping This is a Toys R Us bunny rabbit plush stuffed animal realistic in the title and Easter is also a good word for the title This one also came from the Goodwill bins sold it for 1950 plus shipping This is a vintage Noel Christmas decor letters spell out Santa tree Mitten just some key words and I got this at the Goodwill bins So probably about a buck in that or so sold it for $10 and the buyer paid shipping Most of my items I take best offers on These are the Fisher price little people cuddle and play baby lot two figures toy babies Got these at the Goodwill bins sold them for a best offer of 10 and the buyer paid shipping This is a keep common drive-on dodge ram die cast car I got this out of a thrift store mystery box sold it for $8 and 78 cents and the buyer paid shipping More embroidery floss this one I took a best offer of $10 Christmas green is the color If you notice they will have a number on Them and you want to put that number six nine nine in the title that will help people find your item Especially for discontinued colors, so $10 plus shipping on that one Victoria's Secret scarf and beanie hat. I got this at a garage sale for $5. I think I picked up two of them I have one left so this for $31 best offer and the buyer paid shipping And the next item is this wish pets plush manatee 2005 stuffed animal got it at the Goodwill bin sold it for asking price sale price of 1860 and the buyer paid shipping they were all in for 31 44 so lots of plush in this video and Bread and butter we talked about it in another video different opinions on whether to keep bread and butter listed or to Kind of weed it out and go for higher dollar stuff You know the economy is changing people are gonna want things that are affordable I think getting rid of your bread and butter is probably not a good idea, but that's just my opinion So again, let me know. Are you keeping your bread and butter or are you in 2024 going for higher dollar items? Let me know down in the comments. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching Be sure to like comment subscribe and share and I will see you at the next one. Thanks for watching


13 April 1988 at the J.W. Merriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. This is an address to the Convention of American Society of Newspaper Editors. This will probably be tape one of two of an open event with SACIC on BetaCAM 5-H. Be with us. President of the United States. Mr. President, it's a great honor to welcome you to the ASNE annual convention during- Truth be told, in the greater scheme of things, you are, I hesitate to say this, more essential than to that common pursuit than I am. And that's why freedom of the press is and must always be above politics. Something all jurists and all legislators and all presidents agree on. As Jefferson said, and he was right, when the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe. Now, not all presidents have been that generous. I've told this story before, and if you've heard it, I hope you'll just bear with me. That's the nice thing about this job, you get to quote yourself shamelessly, and if you don't, Larry speaks will. As you may know, historians traced the presidential press conference back to a chief executive who was quite reticent with the press, John Quincy Adams. He didn't hold press conferences, but it seems that every morning before dawn, Adams would hike down to the Potomac, strip off his clothes, and swim. One summer day, a woman of the press, under orders from her editor, followed him. And after he'd plunged into the water, she popped from the bushes, sat on his clothes, and demanded an interview. And she told him that if he tried to wade ashore, she'd scream. So Adams held the first press conference up to his neck in water. I know how he felt. But I've always believed that the key to good press relations is tact, candor, and seeing most things from the point of view of editors and reporters. Sort of like Lyndon Johnson. There's a story about Johnson when he was vice president. He was coming off the Senate floor when he ran into a reporter for the New York Times. Johnson grabbed him, shouted, You, I've been looking for you. Pulled him into his office and began a long harangue about something or other. About halfway through, he scribbled a note on a scrap of paper, buzzed his secretary, and gave it to her. She was back in a minute with another note. He glanced at it while he talked and then threw it away. And eventually the reporter got out. But as he left the outer office, he saw the note that Johnson had written lying on the secretary's desk. It said, Who's this guy I'm talking to anyway? Well, I know who you are, and I'm not here to harangue. I'm going to keep my copy crisp and clean. Who, what, where, when, why, and how with no extra words. And from my lead, something that's at the top of the page in any election year, and certainly this one, the economy. It's time to take a blue pencil to the nonsense that some who are applying for my job are circulating about our economy. We've heard about hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, the decline of the middle class, the deindustrialization of America, and this at a time when our nation is in the longest peace time expansion on record, is creating hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, has a larger proportion of the workforce employed than ever before, has been seeing real personal and family income climb ever since our expansion began, and is exporting more than ever in our history. So it's time to cross out the false charges and put in a little perspective. Yes, there is something happening in America's economy. It's new, it's powerful, and on the whole it's good, creating more and better jobs for our nation, making us vastly more productive and more competitive around the world. And there's no better place to see just what it is than in the newsrooms and pressrooms of your papers. When I got out of the movie business and first tried for public office, most of the newspapers that covered my race for governor ran on technology just one generation removed from Gutenberg, the technology of the first industrial revolution, linotypes, and the rest. Today, less than a quarter century later, you are reporting, editing, and publishing the news about the current presidential campaign with a technology that is light years removed from anything that preceded it. Computer stations to write, light pencils to edit, laptop word processors that let reporters file finished copy and seconds over the phone. Satellite hookups to shoot entire issues to remote printing plants. These incredible transformations have opened vast new horizons to you and your staffs. The result is that while in what you might call the manufacturing end of newspapers, for example, printing and running presses, employment is about the same today as in 1960. In the service end, reporters and editors in particular, employment has boomed. Newspapers now have almost half again as many people on the job as 27 years ago. And pay is better. Yes, here is the real story about what's happening to our economy. Newspapers were the first on the street with the speed of light technology of the computer age. What you did in the 60s and 70s, the rest of American industry has been doing in the 70s and 80s. And that doesn't mean that we're deindustrializing or becoming a hollow service economy or that our paychecks are shrinking. It does mean that we're becoming much more productive. And so we're spending more time, energy and manpower on the thought that goes into our products. The story behind the story is that's just what we must do to grow and prosper and stay the world's leader. You know, all those fellows who talk about us becoming a nation that flips each other's hamburgers and takes in each other's laundry, they owe you who represent what we're really becoming a retraction. If the retraction ever comes, and I'm not holding my breath, it'll rank right up there with what must be history's greatest retraction. I'm told it appeared years ago in one of our newspapers. I won't say which one and talk about getting a story wrong. It read, and I'm quoting now, instead of being arrested as we stated yesterday for kicking his wife down a flight of stairs and hurling a lighted kerosene lamp after her, the Reverend James P. Wellman died unmarried four years ago. Now, I've talked a lot about technology and the economy, but there is a greater truth that gives life and strength to technology in your industry and throughout our economy, and that's freedom. Here in Washington, about a half-mile from the White House, stands a monument to one of the early fathers of modern medical technology, an 18th century physician. It's a gray stone statue of the man sitting in his chair in a pose of contemplation. Behind his head is a mosaic of brilliant colors as if these colors depicted the quality of his thought. Technology like literature, like journalism, flourishes in our land because we have the freedom to bring the brilliant mosaics in our minds to life. I'm talking here about the First Amendment, although technology is not strictly speaking a First Amendment issue. But our freedom of expression, of debate, of the unfettered airing of ideas is the great plane on which our technology or technological harvest grows. There's a Titanic struggle in the world today. I've often characterized it as the struggle between freedom and totalitarianism, but you could as easily call it the struggle between the pen and the sword, between the First Amendment of our Constitution and Article 6 of the Soviet Constitution. That's the one that places the party over the country. More and more, the tide of battle seems clear, at least on one front. As America and the free industrial nations leap ahead through technological time, the Soviet Union and its clients are falling farther and farther behind. How can a blindfolded society keep its balance on the Earth's ever-shifting industrial base when the only way is to take the blindfold off and allow the people to see the world and its kaleidoscopic wonders? Soviet leaders talk about Glasnost. We in the West have taken this to mean of expression, a new flow of information and ideas, a response to the pressures of a changing world. And yet, though some sharp criticism appears in the Soviet press, we know other criticism is stifled. Some publicized prisoners of conscience are released, but others remain in camps and wards. Some people are allowed to demonstrate but peaceful protest by Jewish women in Moscow and Leningrad, by the Armenians in Riga, by Estonians in Tallinn, and by the Armenians are suppressed or forcibly put down. The Ukrainian Catholic Church remains underground. Teaching Hebrew to Jewish children remains a crime. This is why Nathan Sharansky, among others, warns that in his words, Glasnost is not a form of freedom. It's just a new set of instructions on what is and isn't permitted. Minimize the importance of what's happening in the USSR, and we hope that the Soviet Union will indeed become a freer society. And this is why, as a matter of conscience, we must press the Soviets to do better and not allow them to be guile themselves and end us with half-measures. And no one is more important in keeping the truth favorable and unfavorable before our nation, the world, and the Soviets themselves than you. Millions in the Soviet bloc look to you to tell their stories. They know that if you do, their lives will become better, for the Soviet leaders have always had an acute ear for Western media. And that's true of Mr. Gorbachev as well. I guess what I'm saying is not all that different from what the founding editor of the Chicago Times, Wilbur Story, said more than a century ago. It is a newspaper's duty to print the news and raise hell. Now do that half as well with the Soviet leaders as you do with me, and you can make glasmos mean something. Let me suggest some first steps you might join me in encouraging the Soviet leaders to take. Mr. Gorbachev and I addressed each other's people on television. This was helpful. But now we should move even further and see the Soviet Union open more fully to Western media. Western newspapers and journals, for example, should be freely available to Soviet citizens. Books too. And here let me repeat a challenge I made recently. Mr. Gorbachev opened the Soviet Union to the works of a great man and historic author. Opened the Soviet Union to the works of Solzhenitsyn. The struggle between the pen and the sword is worldwide. And despite the moral force of freedom and the disadvantages of totalitarianism, the final outcome is by no means certain. And wherever the battle is joined, you willingly or unwillingly are in the field. During the period leading up to the ceasefire negotiations in Nicaragua, the Sandinistas acknowledged that they were going forward with internal reforms because they wanted the aid vote in Congress to go their way. They were playing to you in the press and threw you to the country and Congress. I don't often quote from Washington Post editorials. I won't say the Post is aggressive, but the first thing I hear each morning is the paper hitting the front door of the White House. Ben Bradley has it delivered by cruise missile. Yet after the Nicaraguan ceasefire agreement, the Post observed that the ceasefire accord has the superficial appearance of an agreement between equals. But with the war, the Sandinistas were hurting badly while with the aid cut off, the Contras were collapsing. And the Post continued, it has been argued by the anti-Contra left that the Sandinistas could not reasonably be expected to democratize while facing a mortal threat. It follows that being no longer under the gun, they can reasonably be expected to honor their pledges to democratize. And the editors concluded, those Americans who have repeatedly urged others to give peace a chance now have an obligation to turn their attention and their passion to ensuring democracy a chance. Well, the Post is not alone in this view. Costa Rican President Arias has said that there can be no peace without democracy in Central America. Now the question is, are we taking steps toward democracy in Nicaragua or are the Sandinistas biding their time waiting for the attention to wander whereupon they will crush the disarmed opposition? I support democracy in Nicaragua. If the ceasefire brings democracy, I'm for it. If it does not, we will ask what will. To advance democracy has been my policy for seven years. It hasn't changed. Last week the opposition newspaper La Prensa had to stop publishing for several days because it was denied newsprint in direct violation of the Central American peace agreement. La Prensa is no friend of the Sandinistas. This January its editor and publisher said that in eight years we have gone from Samosa to a dictatorship that is even worse with a Marxist-Leninist ideology. Perhaps this denial of newsprint was a one-time thing. Perhaps it won't happen again. We hope it's not a sign that the Sandinistas are starting, as we warned they might, to revert to oppression now that pressure from the Democratic resistance is off. What a contrast between what's happened in Nicaragua and the course of events and American policy in Afghanistan. Freedom fighters are on the verge of a great victory over tyranny and aggression. The United States will continue unchanged its support for the freedom fighters and their fierce struggle for what is rightfully theirs, the right to determine their own country's future. If success comes in Afghanistan, and I'm confident it will, it will remind us of an enduring truth. Peace and justice in these kinds of conflicts do not come just by wishing for them, but by helping those willing to fight for them. The brave people of Afghanistan will have succeeded because of their own heroism, and also because they had substantial and consistent international support, not the here-today-gone-tomorrow-backing Congress has given the Congress. No one is insistent that we strangle the Mujahideen in order to give peace a chance. Ask yourself, where would the negotiations over Afghanistan be today if we had taken that line? On the contrary, the Senate in a unanimous vote urged the opposite, that we maintain our support for the Mujahideen, and they were right. The question of democracy in Central America will not die and will not fade away. We will be judged on how we address it, not merely by voters and readers, but by our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Yes, we are engaged in a great struggle to determine if this hemisphere will be free, whether millions will be ruled by the sword or will rule themselves with the pen. And more than in the halls of Congress, more than in the Oval Office, more than in the jungles or at the bargaining tables of Latin America, this struggle will be won or lost in your newsrooms and editorial offices. If you do not forget the cause of democracy, neither will the American people. So this is my message and appeal to you today. Remember that not only are you the guardians of the American people's right to know, you are in a larger sense guardian of the hopes of people all over the world. They look to you to tell their story. Now, before I finish, let me turn to another matter of great concern. In the last few weeks, we've seen cover stories, television specials and French-page articles on the war on drugs against drugs. One frequent refrain has been, as the New York Times this Sunday wrote, no administration has signed or spent more money to stem the flow of drugs into this country, but we are losing ground. Well, let me offer a slightly different view. Yes, we've done more than ever before, and right now we're holding our own. We've stopped America's free fall into the drug pit. We're getting our footing to climb out. We're paying now for the indifference of the 70s. But to just take two of many signs of progress, the number of drug users has leveled off and may be dropping. And almost all high school seniors now say it's wrong even to try cocaine. These are big changes from just a few years ago. We've gone after smugglers and dealers as never before. The big international arrests of the last few weeks are just one result of this. And we've enlisted the military. And let me say if you want to see effective leadership, take a look at Vice President Bush's role in this. While others talked about leading the military into the fray against drugs, the vice president has led. And the result? Last year, the Navy steamed some 2,600 ship days while military planes flew more than 16,000 hours in the fight against illicit drugs. But in the end, this effort will be won not on foreign battlefields, but on the home front. When all of us insist that drug abuse is not only not for us, but intolerable in family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, anywhere by anybody, then we'll win. We're not there yet, but we're on our way. Thank you. God bless you. Confessed that he manufactured quotes for you. Would you tell us, please, did you approve of that process? And would you continue to allow that to happen in your White House? I was not aware of that and just learned it recently, as all the rest of you did. And the words in his book, and I can tell you right now, that I have no affection for these kiss-and-tell books that are being written and I find them entirely fiction. Thank you. Over on my far left, the microphone on the left. Jimmy Denley, Birmingham Post-Herald in Alabama. Mr. President, as you near the end of two terms in the White House, what is the one thing you want the public to remember you most far as President and do you expect to take any specific action in the next few months to enhance that image? Oh, my goodness. I never know how to answer that question, because, frankly, I'm just going from the day-to-day battle here and haven't thought about how I'm going to be remembered. I'll be pleased if they remember me at all. And I'm going to continue pushing as hard as I can for some of the things in these last months that are part of the economic reform and the things that we brought about to see if they can't be planted permanently and not something that will just go away when someone else comes in. And among those are things like, well, for example, I'm getting pretty soon there sending me the first budget I've ever had since I've been here. The law tells me I have to submit a budget and it always turned into a continuing resolution. And I think that we do need a constitutional change. We need an amendment that will ban, as Jefferson once asked, right after the acceptance of the Constitution, that will ban the federal borrowing and the second thing, to bring about an end to the deficits that I'm going, when I'm out of here, I'm going to campaign for as hard as I am while I'm in here, and that is the line item veto. I used it 943 times as a governor of California with a hostile other party legislature and was never overridden once. And in California, two-thirds of the people have to vote or the legislature have to vote to pass the budget and only two-thirds to overturn a veto. The same two-thirds that would vote to send those pork items up buried in the whole budget wouldn't vote to overturn my veto when they had to appear and stand up for them singly where the people could see them. So I think I'm just going to continue the battle till the last day and then head for the ranch. To my left in the center, please. Mr. President, Robert Morton, New York City, Tribune.  If you had heard yourself say that eight years ago, what would you have thought and what led you to change your mind? Well, I didn't exactly say what has been quoted that I said there. I called attention to the fact in discussing this new leader. You know, I was here several years before one of them lived long enough for me to meet with him. And I called attention to the fact that maybe there were some differences between some of the things he was proposing in that he was the first and only Russian leader to this day who had never, in appearing before the Communist Congress, pledged himself to carry on the Marxist idea of a one-world communist state. Now, I just called attention to that as to whether it was an oversight or he didn't think it was necessary or not. I don't know, but I thought it was something that we should keep in the back of our minds when we were negotiating instead of what we have faced in over the years in previous Russian leaders. But I did not ask us to accept that. As a matter of fact, I only know one little phrase in Russian and I've used it to where he's sick of it, and I love it, and that is, Dover yi, no prover yi. Trust but verify. Again, to the microphone at the far left. Mr. President, I'm Tim Gallagher from the Albuquerque Tribune in Albuquerque, New Mexico. If I can go back to the kiss-and-tell book by Mr. Speaks for just a moment. He said in that book that you rarely read daily newspapers, that you read news summaries that are prepared for you. I wonder if you could tell this very interested audience how much time you spend reading daily newspapers each day. I'll begin with the comics. Lifetime habit. And then my next turn is to the editorial pages and I say that in the numbers because there are more than one paper that come to breakfast with me. And I do as much as I can then before I have to run for the office. And then it is true that I riffle through the clippings they get because they bring those in also from papers that I don't get from out of Washington or out of the Beltway papers from across the country. And I do look at that, but he's wrong when he implies that I don't read the papers. Yes, I do, so you're not getting away with anything. To the right in the center, please. Lou Eurenic from the Portland main press, Harold. Mr. President, what's your assessment of the opposition of Afghan rebels to the peace plan that's shaping up in that region? Many of them say they'll continue to fight on. We expect them to. And I'm just sorry about the fact that evidently they misunderstand as many of our other people have and some citizens have misunderstood. The Geneva Accords that we've been negotiating on and picking back and forth at each other for a long time, we have finally reached an agreement. And there is nothing in that agreement that is going to prevent us from supplying the Mujaheddin as long as they need it and as long as the Soviet Union continues to supply the Afghan forces in their puppet government that they're leaving behind. With no restriction on us, the Mujaheddin are going to continue to have our help. Far left. I believe it's Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson, Columbia, Missouri. And Mr. President, during this conference we've talked a lot about race relations in this country. This is the 20th anniversary of the current commission report. I'm sure many of us will be interested in your assessment in this year when we have a black man running for president of the status of race relations in this country. Well, I hope that's part of this campaign in any way. But even I, and I'm sorry that in the campaign that's going on with one candidate of the black race that it seems that more attention is being paid to the difference in color than is being paid to what he is actually saying. And I have to believe that a great many of us would find ourselves in great disagreement with the policies that he is proposing and would perhaps be more vocal about them if it wasn't for concern that that be misinterpreted into some kind of a racial attack. I contrary to what some people say the most frustrating thing that is I have endured since I've been here in the image making that goes on is that I have been portrayed so often as in some way a racist and prejudiced with regard to racial matters. And it's hard for me to take because I grew up in a family in which that was considered the greatest sin prejudice and discrimination. And all my life, back when I was a sports announcer broadcasting Major League Baseball, I was one of the little handful across the country that continued to editorialize for the breaking of the ban and the allowing of blacks to organize baseball.  And as I say I just I regret that this has become a factor. The candidates should all be based on what are their policies and what is it that they would propose to do. And I will be very frank with you. I find a great disagreement with some of the things that are being proposed by Jesse Jackson but I also find a great deal of disagreement with his fellow candidates in that party which is why I suggest everybody should vote Republican. Thank you, sir. On my far right, Herb Klein. Mr. President leaning on your political unbiased opinions I'd like to ask you to assess the 1988 race where you see it going and how will it end? You caught me in a weak spot. When I was a sports announcer I was superstitious about ever talking about who was going to win in the game or whether they would and I wouldn't even mention that the pitcher was pitching a no-hit ball game because superstition has it that then you jinx him if you do. And to ask me to predict what's going to happen here well I think in the Republican Party of course it has now narrowed down to one candidate. But even so there's a convention to be held and on the other side I don't know whether the candidates now campaigning whether any one of them is going to wind up at the convention with the nomination or whether there will be a brokered convention or whether the Democratic Party will go a field seeking to draft someone who has not been campaigning in the primaries. And I just I just refuse to try and make a guess on this. Again at the right microphone, Josette Shiner. Mr. President one of the senior administration officials was quoted last week as saying that the contra war is over and that the resistance forces have been effectively dismantled. Mr. President do agree with this and also several years ago you said that your intention was to get the Sandedistas to cry uncle.  No and if I find that unnamed official he may not be official. No I don't believe it's over and I believe that with all my heart and soul that the pressure that is being imposed on Nicaraguan citizens that are being called the Contras who have taken up arms to try and bring about the continuation of the revolution that had them in conflict with Samosa as a dictator and it was denying Democratic rights and they were succeeded by the Sandedistas who not only seized the government and took it over for themselves after the armed revolution but violated the agreement of the revolutionaries to the organization of American states that they would install democracy as we know it a pluralistic democracy and so forth but in doing so we forget there were other revolutionaries that fought beside them but who were not part of a long time organization so they were ousted, some exiled some imprisoned and many of those are now in what we call the Contras and I think we have an obligation to support those people until by calling it crying uncle I meant that the Sandedistas would permit the people of Nicaragua to make their decision on the kind of government they wanted. What are you willing to do if they do not follow through with the Democratic reforms? What's that? What action are you willing to take if they don't follow through with the Democratic reforms? Well, I think it would be unwise of me to talk about any further things that might be done let them go to sleep every night wondering what we'd do. The middle on the right, please. Mr. President I'm Tom Vale of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Sir, do you feel that the banking system of the United States is in trouble? I think it has some troubles yes, that have grown out of some of the problems that were left with us by double digit inflation with loans and so forth and we know that through the government and the institutions that we have in government to help we're giving as much help as we can there I don't think that it is a problem that could suddenly bring disaster down upon us and end this this expansion and this economic growth that we're having but we're going to continue to try and help and as I say when you think back to the almost sudden change from inflation to what we have now that meant that there were a lot of loans that were based on collateral that no longer has the value that it did back in the inflation area and problems of that kind are bothering us Thank you Mr. President we really appreciate your coming and spending time with us today Would everyone please be seated and wait until the president has departed I have a couple of announcements in the meantime as most of you


Hey, it's Flair. Let's talk about setting up a shoutout command for Twitch using Streamlabs Chatbot that displays the game and a link to the stream of the person who was shouted out. I'll assume you're already logged into Streamlabs, tag along Cloudbot, and have given Streamlabs mod permissions in your channel. If you haven't, check out my video linked in the description and then come back. In the left navigation, choose Cloudbot. In the horizontal navigation on the Cloudbot page, click Commands and then Custom. Click the Add Command button. It's so easy on Streamlabs with the templates they have set up. All you have to do is choose the Exclamation SO item from the dropdown labeled template. Streamlabs definitely has the ease of use award for setting up some of these basic commands that everybody wants anyway. You'll see that the command Exclamation SO gets applied, and unless you want to change it to something else, leave it as is. In the Response field, you'll see that it gets set to check out target.name over at target.url, there playing target.game. These items in the curly brackets are all variables. You want to keep the target.name, target.url, and target.game parts alone. Those are all variables within the curly brackets, but you can move them around and change any of the text itself to your liking. If you need help formatting this the way you want, let me know in the comments and I'll help you out. Leave the Reply In selection to Chat. Under Permissions, uncheck the Regulars and Subscribers so only mods and the streamer can use this command. Now you can click Confirm and it should be good to go. To test, let's go over to Chat and type Exclamation SO at Flarebot. I generally advise people to build commands that require a target to use the at instead of requiring people to type in the name manually. This way, once you type the at in Twitch, usually the UI will help you autocomplete the username you want to shout out and you can make fewer mistakes. Anyway, you'll see the message from Streamlabs pop up, the name of the category they last streamed if applicable, and then a link to their chat. Nice and easy, right? And I'll click here to see one of my other Streamlabs tutorials.
