Life New York, it's ask an engineer. Hey everybody and welcome to ask engineer. It's me lady Ada the engineer and With me is mr. Lady Ada on camera. Gonger of the gong gonger the gongs. Yeah, and Speaking of gonging we've got a soundboard that we're testing out. So hopefully we sound yeah, we're always trying to upgrade a Very interesting audio challenge with the factory going on and all the things Yeah I think we nailed it we've got Machinery we've got kids. We've got videoing. We've got tutorials. We've got coding all going on here during the day But at night It's nice and chill because it's time for us to do our show. So why don't you tell them? What's on tonight show on tonight show the code is banana plug 10% off native first all the way up to 1159 p.m. Eastern time We'll talk about our eight fruit live series of shows including show and tell which JP just did Thank you so much JP. We'll do a little bit of time travel look around a world of hackers makers artists engineers and more Chip shortage. We're gonna be doing this segment every single week probably forever this week Texas instruments From the bail bag a special father's day edition. We're gonna do some advanced Manufacturing in New York City and more some 3d printing and I've got a little special segment this week New products some top secret we answer your questions. We do that only on discord a different IT slash discord There's so many different video places. That's the only place that we can answer the questions So put your questions there join all 34,000 of us. We're there all the time hang out. It's fun all that and more and Eight of her that's right. All things you do. I'm asking an engineer. Yeah. All right So let's get started. Let's pay some bills. Don't forget banana plug. That's the code and you get free stuff Okay, we have our free be still going on 99 dollars or more. You get a free perma proto half-sized breadboard with your order 149 or more you get a free KB 2040 RP 2040 break up board that is pro micro pinout compatible has a stomach you deport lots of memory It's a great overall microcontroller board and it'll fit nicely in your subtlest breadboard and of course 199 or more you get free UPS ground shipping in the continental United States Hopefully, we'll be able to bring back circuit playground free be soon We are making them as fast as we can but we keep selling out. Which is good. All right We don't have enough and don't forget if you want to get a Raspberry Pi or other items that are in high demand make sure you two factor authenticate your account verify your account and Right now we have multiple products including There's teensy and then the Google Coral boards are Yeah, I think that's actually okay. They were they were limited for a bit, but I might I think they're fine now Raspberry Pi 3a plus is actually we had those are not Very valuable in the resell market. So a lot of projects can use it 3a plus if you don't need ethernet You know, so they come with Wi-Fi. They're very fast You don't have a lot of USB plugs. You only have one, but they're they're good They're kind of in between a pi zero and a pi 3b plus so check those out. We might even have a couple left in stock and The pi fours are going fast and furious. Don't forget. We are currently limiting one Raspberry Pi computer per customer that is all types So pick the one you want like if you really need an eight gigabyte Raspberry Pi 4 don't buy a 2 gig because you won't be able to pie an 8 gig You only get one type of Raspberry Pi computer Until we are able to release more to the public when I don't know.  I think next Wednesday There won't be an ask an engineer, but there will be show until There's just everything got squeezed into one week. And so we have to do a meeting that will be running a little late I think and better to Maybe have the show a different day than try to do it a day when we know we won't be able to do it But show until was this week jp hosted it and you check it out on the Socials where all our videos are saved and stored and then next week. It's Noah and Pedro We'll be hosting. Thank you. No Pedro on Sundays. We do from the desk of Lady Eda Lady Eda What was on desk of Lady Eda this week? Oh boy? Okay? Did I mention there's a lot of chip revisions and chip shortages? So this was last week. We showed off the Luma noodles. I also showed off the LED buttons that we got so a bunch of samples.  Yeah, then we do the great search Which is a pretty popular feature Lady Eda uses her powers of engineering to find the things that you're looking for on digikey.com Thank you. Did you key? What was this week's great search? Oh goodness. I have to remember what we searched for Oh oscilloscopes. Yeah, we showed folks how to get low-cost oscilloscopes that they can use You know, there are a lot of people email us and say, hey, I'm a student. I want a you know, a low budget Scope for about 400-500 bucks.  What will you get if you're willing to pay a little bit more? So we showed a couple good options for scopes available from digikey.  So even a two channel, which is what I use a lot of the time Yeah, okay. Uh on tuesdays we do jp's product pick of the week and this is this week's highlight take it away jp The neopixel 3 32 silicone bead LED strip it is a half meter. So there's 166 I believe LEDs in there and it is gorgeous. So this is individually addressable neopixel LEDs I've plugged it into a qt pi rp 2040 with a little battery bff and a little lipo battery And as you can see here You get a really nice Nearly solid display you can see as they dim there They will start to reveal the trick but at more moderate brightness levels And this is only at I think 0.35 on brightness It almost looks like a continuous neon strip except it's got this individually addressable rgb effect to it Which is really cool. That is my product pick of the week It is the neopixel 3 32 silicone bead half meter led strip And on thursdays we have jumphawks workshop and we have a couple things that we do We do circuit python parsec But I saw this neat app That I said hey jp. Maybe you can try this out So, uh, you know, you like some retro stuff and we have things like Since and adafruit's done a record before and we're always looking for like what cool new technology things can you combine? so, uh I said hey wezer has a new album with the only way you can play it Is if you spin your phone around kind of a neat thing, right? Okay, and so I gave it to jp I said hey, can you do this and of course he went above and beyond and I'll show you what he did And Where else can you see this type of entertainment for you now? So, uh, yeah pretty cool On fridays we do deep dive With tim from a guy check that out Check out all the innards of circuit python and more if you want to learn how to build amazing apps at circuit python Or just how some of the stuff works. Check it out Every single friday 2 p.m. Pacific 5 p.m Eastern okay, we're gonna do a little bit of time travel Um, this week's time travel is going to be short because uh, we like to do a little update every single week We're still waiting for parts just like everybody else. We're still doing adabox never going to stop however It's not going to happen in winter because winter happened and we're in the spring ish summer ish But we think it'll be shipping pretty soon, but we'll continue to give updates If and when we have a pretty good date, we'll probably send on emails to folks But if we send on email now the question would be like why are you sending an email because you don't know anything Right now. So we want to give you good information if we bug you in your inbox. Okay Um, and then uh speaking of ship shortages. Here we go This week's chip shortage a return, uh Returning champion so far. Um, I think Texas instruments and microchip have the two and and st And st actually all of them a lot of these companies.  It's uh Texas instruments wood chip. Uh, can't we get this week? Okay, this chip I'll tell you actually I don't remember the part where it's a power. It's a it's a buck boost converter It's like, uh, sorry to buck. It's a boost converter. It's like the tps. Oh, right the tps 61023 This is a really sweet Three and a half amp boost converter, which can give you five volts out of your lipo battery and double a batteries And um, we use it in a bunch of boards and breakouts Um, because I really like it as a boost converter, but guess what it is unavailable. We ordered, um A couple thousand of them, you know, I think about a year ago and we haven't gotten any Uh, we would really like to get those chips that we ordered that would be sweet Okay, um, you could check out well, you know, you can check out the site Yeah, I mean, it's a really awesome chip. I do recommend it. We if you could get it you could see Dispects and more, but uh, you're probably wondering well, you know, what do we use it in? Uh, this breakout, which is unavailable right now because we don't have any tps Oh, by the way, I'm gonna go to the digikey site. Maybe I can go there. Let's me know how many in stock None zero zero 2023 2023 so lady at a if we could talk to Mr and mrs instruments who owns texas instruments How many do we need? I need a like 2000. I think 2000. Yeah, like a reel of 2000 It's not asking too much. I found a lot and uh, I'm sure you have it somewhere. Look on the couch. Maybe Hook me up. I would love to get some tps 6102 threes or lovely chips Yeah And that's this week's chip shortage Okay, this week's mail bag, uh, this is a Yeah, I forgot that we had a song But next time I'll I'll get used to it because we didn't have a song for the longest time Well, you can have the button play the song too. I could do that, but then that's another button. I gotta press um, okay, so We had father's day. I sent some emails to some of the the new dads at adafruit I've got to send some other emails. It's just been a busy week And I said, hey, like, you know, thanks for bringing life into the world and keep up the good work But I got to send a couple more because there's there's a bunch of adafruit kids happening but uh, one of the things about doing a show and Doing something like ask an engineer for a decade is there's a lot of young people That they're not so young now. They they're still young But if they were eight now they're 18 If they were 10 now, they're 20 you get the point. So here's one from a dad And uh, let me Zoom in on this Dear lady, Ada, Mr. Lady, Ada I wanted to send a word of thanks and an update to a father's day email I sent you June 25 2014. So that was eight years ago The email read just wanted to share a small part of the father's day card My daughter made for me my dad's the best because he will play robots with me at any time of the day and any day of the week Thank you for showing me how great engineering really is The dad goes on to say playing making robots e-jewelry with my daughter has made Easier and more enjoyable because the great products you make and sell your great service excellent tutorials and role modeling for young girls Thanks for all you do in supporting the open source community So eight years later here's the follow-up Since then my daughter has achieved many goals and received some well-deserved honors and part I believe you deserve credit for this your support for the open source community And dedication for bringing affordable electronics and programming circuit python to everyone not just privilege But to lower the barriers and allow me to teach my daughter and her robotics team about programming electronics or robotics In addition your dedication to support and help young women is always inspiring Thanks again from a proud and grateful dad on father's day now.  Yeah grease. She's gotten so bio med doing like Stuff to help people's hearts Inventing things. Yeah a lot of electronics a lot of combination of the arts the sciences The ee the cs and to this day. She's still using eight of fruit parts. Yeah, how heartwarming so um anyways We're gonna keep doing the show and uh, we really appreciate the folks out there that watch the show with their kids because that's kind of one of our intentions, um, we thought this could be a fun interesting show for not only uh adults But for adults to watch with kids and they could see a good example of a lady running a successful company and also being an engineer and You know having great employees that Can have a valuable interesting thing to do each day that they enjoy and make a good living at it So, um, there's not a lot of examples out there at least not one that has a weekly show So we appreciate you watching and thanks for sending that in Okay Happy father's day. It is python on hardware time Okay The big news this week is there's a new version of Micro python. So lady, what's the you know, we add the stuff that's in micro python to circuit python What's the latest? Okay, so micro python 1 1 9 and don't forget we are keeping up with micro python We are merging in their changes and so this change will come to circuit python sooner rather than later Although, I don't know exactly when maybe um when we get to eight stable in circuit python But basically the mpy format has been updated and I think it's like a little bit more compressed, which is good uses less space, but also Like you can be executed directly from like the end of the flash memory. So historically if you wanted to freeze in A library like you have to compile it into code and there would be some linking process But now you should be able to just like take the mpy and like append it to the firmware Like literally in flash and then you like you can add as many libraries you want to freeze in Which I think is a really cool and interesting idea That could be Very useful for Circuit python as well. We might you know, we might end up with some sort of like dynamic firmware generator Because a lot of people Want to save ram you can save a lot of ram by loading mpy sorry by Saving your mpy files not to the disk but to firmware Because you can execute directly from the firmware file. So All good stuff basically, you know making frozen. I mean there's a lot of bug fixes. I think renaissance post port So the microcontrollers, which is interesting for folks who love japanese automotive microcontrollers But the big changes I think are this mpy update Okay, um, you can check our collection of articles including articles about circuit python. Hector has an article on circuit python 8 It's our new version. It's alpha. It's what working on and uh last week we talked about the poster Thank you expressive for allowing us to Have uh blinka Espressifies Herself I think it's cool. Yeah, I mean it's a perfect fit um python cheat sheets projects and more um Cube is kind of neat. Uh, Todd bot has been on a roll if you haven't already One of the things I like about Todd's projects is Todd can squeeze the code Basically into a tweet or very close to and you know twitter's coming out with a notes feature Um, what's that? Well, it's it's basically like if you want more than 150 characters So you but why don't say six screenshots of your notepad? Yeah, no, they're it's they're you know I think they're making medium inside of twitter. Yeah, so anyways So I look forward to what Todd's gonna do with that but um, it's always neat to see The projects because uh Todd does open source and post up these bits of code in this cube was fun to kind of Watch and evolve over the socials Um, and then um, you can check out some of the projects using circuit python not even our hardware That's what's cool about I'm gonna have some cool badges. That's right. And uh, anyways, and you can check out things like 2040 boards 2040 boards with a circuit python pinout diagram again Um, what we like to do is build things so other people can build stuff Um, you know, it's always nice to buy some Adafruit stuff But we also like to see businesses thrive So you could check out all the different circuit python based hardware even ones that doesn't come from adafruit In the latest newsletter, we deliver it every single week. You could check that out on beautifuldaily.com And uh, we have a completely separate site don't spam Don't harvest emails.  Um, yeah, so I have the sound board thing and I here I'll do the applause, you know, we will never spam you No idea if that works or not When we watch the uh, yeah, I think it worked watch the video. Okay. Let's do some open source hardware stuff Okay, um, we have two thousand Six hundred ninety six hundred ninety. Wow two thousand six hundred ninety guides, um That means like code repos recipes, you need it's there. What's on the big board this week? Okay this week. We've got, um, A new an update or new guide for the adafruit cutie pie esp32 s3 from liz She's been working on this guide. Um, the s3 is a little bit of a beta chip Um, but you know, we still have some arduino and circuit python support I know and Pedro made this mini smart mirror with a pie portal It's like if people make the gigantic smart mirrors, uh, maybe you want something that's desktop size And they also show how to make your own half-silvered mirrored acrylic You can buy it, but if you can't get it it is possible to DIY your own So they show you how to do that in this guide, which I thought was kind of cool and then uh, finally, uh jp wrote a massive guide on taking our neotralis, which is a diy 8 by 8 rgb led kit and um updating it with a um rp 2040 feather because uh the the m4 feather might not be as available And then using it as a midi feedback controller where You're sending data to the midi like your computer as midi commands, but also Data is coming back and being displayed. So you kind of made it work with like this I don't know the name of it, but there's some like controller that people use and he's like I want to make an open source version of it and that's what he did Okay, let's do some advanced manufacturing here in new york city All right, welcome back to w a d a that's right. We're playing all the hits The construction across the street forever All right, that's actually what it sounds like is there's a construction horns are constantly going off. Yeah, let's do some Let's do some, uh 3d printing, okay So I've got a project that I'm working on. Yeah, I'm gonna show them they were ahead Maybe I have a video first So I've a project I've been working on So, uh, the ruben is a museum here in york city and it's really cool. It's all this Himalayan art from thousands of years ago And it's beautiful. They do lots of cool activities that gong video. We showed in the beginning and they're really into sharing As in like please spread this good information this good word this this idea that maybe we can You mean they're not constantly sending people ceases ceases for being, uh Enlightened. Yeah, so they have some really nice sculptures and statues there. So, uh, we've wanted to go to some museums because Covid's happened for a while and there was a lot of challenges with going to museums It's kind of last on the list when you're just trying to survive So we've been trying to do some art and see some art and so I went and I scanned in Um a buddha looking sculpture. So, uh, I'll show it to you all right, so The idea is you could get a really beautiful scan The output from the phone app that I use is an stl or an object file Special thing add-on is it a physical add-on or no, it's just it's just a just a latest iphone And I just walked around it a bunch of times and eventually was able to capture it And uh, it worked out, but I my goal isn't to just make the A little version of that what I want to do is take that as the base for some art to do So, um, here's what the this is kind of well, this is what it's going to look like I'm doing this like pixelated Like deconstructed looking buddha Kind of you know buddha of the future perhaps and as far as like what it looks like here's here's a version It's not that version. It's just another one that's kind of like and I'll just hold it up So you can kind of see it's a it's a 3d printed one and it's a cute cuba five Yeah, it's it's kind of like if if there was a buddha inside of tron You know kind of sitting there So this is just like one example and I'm playing around with different 3d printed materials that can be illuminated in different ways And uh, this is a solid one Um, I'll just show you like, you know and kind of see Kind of see that it kind of yeah Something I can get through So, uh, I'll have some other examples later But um right now that one is printing and what's cool about that museum is they saw it And they added it to their instagram story and they retweeted it and you know Museums at this point. I think one of the cool things that they could start to do is we all have phones that can do scanning like lidar type stuff So to allow people to come in and you don't have to be able to touch it Like I wasn't there was a rope around this thing. Um, I just held my phone and I just walked around it a few times Um, that's a really neat activity Especially for young people to scan in art that they see and then when they bring it home They could do neat stuff with it and then they can remix and do all sorts of stuff Like I took this sculpture and I wanted to Um pixelize it and make it, you know, kind of look You know something like something that would be in a video game Um, so anyways, uh, that's the project and speaking of projects Here are two back to back from known Pedro. We have the cool little smart mirror and then we're going to do a speed up Hey, what's up folks in this project? We're building a mini smart mirror with Adafruit's pi portal You can 3d print and get why your own smart mirror that displays weather info When you wave your hand in front of the mirror the display turns on and then automatically shuts off after a few seconds This uses the esp 32 wi-fi module to pull weather data from the open weather maps api to display temperature weather conditions and the local time The pi portal features the at samd 51 with an esp 32 wi-fi coprocessor 8 megabytes of flash storage and some onboard sensors Our 3d printed case features a mirror like design with an adjustable viewing angle A piece of laser cut acrylic features a one-way married film so you can see the display through the reflections We think it's a pretty cool effect for projects with the display The code for this project was done in Adafruit's circuit python and uses the onboard ambient light sensor to detect your hand The code calculates what the percentage is of the maximum amount of light being read and then detects when there's a change This allows the project to work in areas with different lighting conditions We think it's a nice use of the pi portal's ambient light sensor for iot projects with displays 3d print the parts to build the snap fit case and get a piece of acrylic from a laser cutting service You can apply one-way married film to any piece of acrylic and make your own smart mirror Follow along with our learn guide to get the full step-by-step tutorial on building your own So if you're looking to make a project with an iot display definitely check out Adafruit spy portal Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for more projects from Adafruit Don't forget every single Wednesday. You can watch 3d hangouts with Don Pedro Tune in learn how to make all the stuff in more All right before we go on to um New products Don't uh, don't forget to use the code banana plug Because if you don't you won't save money and you'll be sad So use the code. All right. Uh, let's do some new products. Okay It's a new it's a new it's a new new new. It's a new it's a new new new new new new new new new Okay, this week. Let's kick it off with okay. There's a kind of like a half updated half new product um, so a while ago we bought a whole bunch of these um hammer header kits for raspberry pi zero that only come with Uh the mail plug header and uh, we kind of forgot to put them in the store And then we found them and we're like, oh, we should really stock these so if you have a raspberry pi zero w or 2 w or original zero and you want to Plug in a bonnet or a hat or a fat or whatever some sort of thing that uses the 2 by 20 header And you don't want to solder or you don't want to learn how to solder You can use these pimeroni hammer headers Um, and what they do is they let you um do this kind of cold weld where you Literally use a hammer or a mallet use anyone that you have already and you gently tap tap tap and pop the pins of this Um, head or through and it will make a solid connection that you then don't have to solder Um, so I'll show it on the overhead because it's kind of funky. We haven't shown these in a while Okay So you get your raspberry pi zero and it comes with like a plastic plate and then these little screws that help line things up and these hammer headers you can see there's like these little Nubs here And they're kind of like springs Like you can't press them in by hand but again, if you put this thick piece of plastic on and hammer with a mallet It will press all the way through Pop in and then you'll basically have a solid connection without needing to solder So it could be useful if you don't have a soldering iron Or you don't trust yourself with one or you don't want to give someone else one Yeah, it's a couple bucks and all you need is a mallet or hammer. Okay next up Okay, uh, this is the update to the ap 3429a which was a book converter for about five volts down to three volts We love these little buck converters once in a while. You just need you know an amp or so out Um, and you want to give it a couple double a batteries or you want to give it a lipo or give it usb And an ldo won't do the job because again, you need an amp and you're not going to get an amp out of a small ldo The only thing is the ap 3429a you'll never believe what happened phil Is basically unavailable. There's a chip shortage Hey, hey, where you where has been? How's it going? Yeah, so we ordered the chips and we don't think they're ever coming in and so I was like, you know what? Let's just revise this. I found a similar enough Chip, uh, can you go two more? This one? Yeah, it's the tlv 62569 so this is an update slash revision But I'm keeping the same product ID because It's basically just a better version of the previous chip. It's a slightly higher frequency Um, it actually has higher current output. Uh, I also doubled the copper thickness on the pcb to two ounce copper I still would only really recommend it for about like one 1.2 amp continuous But you can get uh, you know two amp peak. I think I got 1.5 amp continuous actually on this board But you know, I I won't promise it depends on the ambient temperature But if you do need like a ton of current at 3.3 volts for wi-fi for cellular This is a very fine Buck converter and as they'll break out. Well, uh, it's pin compatible with many uh To 20 to 220 size Uh, ld out. I think the ld 1117 3.3. This is pin out compatible. Okay next up Another update. Uh, this is the icarus iot board. This is the nrf 91 Oh goodness, could you go to the next thing? I keep forgetting the whole part no more It's the uh nrf 91 60 This updates a couple things one. There's now flash memory on the board second. It's updated Yeah, the flash memory is on the back The module itself got updated to like engineering change order b1 instead of b0 Um, and probably another couple other component tweaks. So this is v2 Of the icarus feather. However, it is essentially the same thing Just a couple extra updates and upgrades. It's still a feather compatible It is still a cellular module that you can program I think it uses zephyr artos to program again Not arduino or circuit python or micro python compatible All right next up and uh, you know, this is why we had the code banana banana Um, we noticed that we didn't have any banana plugs in the store I thought it would be a good idea to stock some and I thought these were kind of neat because they're not just banana plugs They're like stackable plus retractable Out was kind of cool. So these are four millimeter standard Um banana plugs, so I'll show them on the overhead because You kind of got to show the uh, yeah, I'll show the two different colors here before I go Stackability and uh Retractability, okay. So first up they're stackable. So uh each one has a slot at the end And so you're like, hey, I want more and they slide in very nicely. They're very solid They got little grippy so you can remove them. Um, what I thought was kind of neat is they have this little retracting Plastic protector so these can be like Hanging out on your bench top and like you don't have to worry about them touching Because they're protected, but then when you're ready to insert them They just sort of like, you know, just by pressing they they naturally do this like a little attraction thing And uh, you can plug them in Easily and safely. Uh, they're very high quality Cables. I really like them. Uh, so we have, you know power and ground very useful for You know, you have your bench top power supply your multimeter Um, or other test equipment that uses a four millimeter standard size banana plugs Okay, and this week we have two stars of the show this week besides you Lady Ada and our team and our customers and Everyone who makes this Adafruit thing go yeah our community. It's two boards. Look at these two. That's right. We've got two Updates. We've got the ad s zero one zero one five and the ad s one one one five uh two I squared c and long digital converters are very popular But we've stomach qtfi them because we love to add plug and play Support to all of our break up boards. We're kind of going backwards in time and now we're getting to the older boards So these are 12 and 16 bit adcs. They work over i squared c There's tons of support for them. There's um, arduino support circuit python micro python Everyday python rest whatever it's like these are kind of ancient and so they're They're well documented and well supported Um, you know the 16 bits a little bit more expensive 12 bit is going to be good enough for most uses It's actually kind of not it's not common to see i squared c adcs. Most adcs are spi and so um, you know, these are uh Very handy for when you just have to add some high quality analog inputs Or if you have a board, you know propeller chip for example or a raspberry pi that hasn't have an adc Plug it in and so now what we've updated is it comes in the stomach qt format Which means it's got these jst sh connectors You can use cables to plug and play them with our feathers with the raspberry pi So no soldering required Of course, if you want to connect to the output pins, you you may want to solder to them But at least for the entry level wiring and testing No soldering is required and you can have up to four of these. I think on one i squared c bus just by Noodling with the address pin. I think tying it To ground or tying it to scl will let you choose multiple addresses as well. So You know very easy Very reliable way of adding multiple 12 or 16 bits analog inputs And that is new products this week Okay, we're zipping right along. We have time for some questions. But first Um, don't forget go over to discord desk questions. Adafruit dot it slash discord Yeah, while we play some top secret you can get your questions in Yeah, um, we're going to show two videos back to back on our top secret and then we'll uh, do some questions. Here we go Great lady. What is this? These are some cool clicky buttons? JP our resident synth fan and drum machine collector was like, hey, you know, can you get some of those? Um switches that you see in some drum machines or or synthesizers or keyboards that have um, A kind of nice clicky tactile switch and a built-in led So I got this sample. I just soldered it up to a breadboard So when I press the button the led lights up the led is independent from the switch But I just wired it so that it turns on when I click it And I got this with black and red led gray with rally and red with red led So I think this is a good start. Well, we're coming a couple packs It's fairly inexpensive And then we'll make a package for them in eagle cad so folks can uh, giy their own 808 All right, lady. What is this? These are Neuraled knobs you can tell they're knobs because they're round and they've got a cool pointer I like that the silver one has a black paint pointer. The other colors have white paint So it has a good contrast and the sides are knurled You can see the machining effect makes them really fun to grip onto and twist on your synthesizer or drum machine And uh, these come with a set screw so you can see here the set screw I've been testing it out with a two millimeter hex wrench and the set screws nice because it means you can use D shaft right so you get a classic D shaft potentiometer or Rotary encoders and you can twist just by pressing it in and then setting the set screw or if you have a t18 or round shaft knob You can press fit it in and then also use The set screw to set it So these work with any kind of potentiometer of order encoder coming soon to the aid of food shop And that's top secret this week Okey-dokey, uh, let's just do a check in with that code.  That's right.  So you banan and nan and plugs That's what we got somebody stop her for keep spelling Okay, uh, we're gonna do some questions right away ready hit me Yeah, I got some questions question. Can the ice can the I squared C carry audio sample rate wave This is actually that one of the first projects I ever worked on at my job when I had a job was um Putting a microphone over I squared C and the answer is you can do it. Uh, but only really eight kilohertz is what I determined Um, because it's you know, let's say you do, um, you know one megahertz I think we had we did 400 kilohertz Sorry, yeah 400 kilohertz clock signal, but of course, you know, it's 10 bits per bite of data Um, so you only get 40 and then like there's the bus stuff you have to do So in the end it was basically like I was able to do um eight kilohertz audio But like it's not Really designed for it Um SPI or I2S are way better at this Okay, some good feedback on the switches a little leds were on so many 80s test equipment and synths Yeah, they're like I call them 808 switches even though of course they were used in other things Here's a request. Maybe I would love to have some solderless solution to making beeps like a stomach qt breakout with a thing that Sends pwm to a built-in buzzer or something Oh, yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, I mean, um We don't have that but it would be it would be a good idea Uh, or one of those mp3 player boards with the sd card would have built in buzzer using iSquared C to trigger files I think spark fun actually has one of those by the way. So check that out. I think they have an mp3 iSquared C um Controller chip thingy Okay, um, I cut and paste one from another chat. Yeah, but please do put them in discord Any intent on making larger versions of this clip on so I see sockets. I'd really fancy so I see 24 one Someday, you know, I've not seen the clip on Sockets for anything other than so I see eight Because they're really used often for programming like flash chips and e-prom chips for FPGAs and others are like, you know bios is so I don't I'm not really seen them for so I see 24 I think we have like SMT to dip sockets, but not a clip on style. Yeah um, I think Uh, I can answer this question. Maybe yeah, I can help out with this. So, um, use eagle cad But you know, you you don't you're not religious about the tools Um, but what would it take what'll have to happen for you to switch from like eagle to chi-cat? Because it almost happened this weekend I live real time in this because like we're not tied to a particular tool set But you get used to using something and just like okay. Um, well the current cost isn't too bad I think that if if the usability of eagle um Got to the point where it's like, I can't work as quickly. I might change but You know, here's the thing. I don't believe that there's any one cad software that's really better than I think they're all equally bad Um in interfaces and they're also equally good, right?  But the login server that they had Uh died and so like I couldn't you know authenticate Um, and so I couldn't edit parts of my board, which is like really infuriating Um, but they fixed it a couple hours later. Yeah, uh, would you be interested in making a Flexi pin adapter for the qt pie. This is a Um, you know, here's the thing about those flexi pins. You know, you have to hand solder them and so I wouldn't be able to manufacture Uh that in-house because you'd have to hand solder it. I think the idea is really cool um But i'm also not sure what you would get from that like What what do you need a flexi pin adapter to that would be better than just soldering it down? Or using headers I really like headers Okay Yeah, and you know one of the things um, you know, there's a separate Thing going on uh last week that was I was emailing some some high profile makers and just to summarize Kind of the gist of the conversation was boy, um, we're all getting separated pretty easily. We're all drawing lines and saying Us and them. Um We're not doing things together. We're shouting each at each other online and on social media, particularly twitter um I think that's happening a lot even when people talk about tools. So I I think one of the things even if You're in a good community like adafruit one of the things that we should always say is like, hey There's room for both There's room for lots of different things and sometimes it's just you're used to a tool and then you know You migrate to another one like I've changed from having to use adobe pdf creation tools to not using adobe pdf creation tools, but once in a while Um, there'll be something that can only open up on like for whatever reason adobe And I'll do that and uh, I wanted to migrate off those just for some smaller lightweight tools but I was just used to a lot of them and You know, I would never want to get in a fight over like which pdf tool is the best but people But people get you know, they they get knives come out very fast Yeah, and I think that if we're all asked to get along with Or we're telling hey, you know everyone should get along and you know be peaceful if if us as like makers and technologists Can't even be respectful and nice about what programming language we use or what tools we use Then what what hope is there for everyone else with like? Real significant issues like invading lands and stuff like that. So yeah, I just think that's anytime these things come up We can always just say like hey, you know, both tools have a lot of value Both are uh terrible in their in their own unique ways and both are good in their own unique ways But I think if we always reframe conversations like that, here's the thing. I like that there's options I like that. I'm not like Totally stuck like if eagle cad does eventually become so annoying. I don't want to use it anymore Um, I know that there's an option and that safety means I can I feel confident in Designing whatever I want because I know that chi-cad can do eagle imports Um, and that's that's how it is. I think like, you know, it's interesting. It's like I think people should Have faith they should have self-confidence in the tools they pick because sometimes I'm like Why do I use this editor and I try another editor and then I remember all the reasons why I go like my I automatically go to the tools that I use. Yeah, and you know if I ever Get a chance to write some of the maker history So we spent a lot of time lady and I talking to It was cad soft before it got bought. Yeah, and it's to them directly and we said can we get an export Feature because we really wanted to make sure people could export. It used to be a binary as as xml And they did it and it didn't hurt eagle cat at all and it allowed people to move files back and forth And then they have chi-cad import. Yeah, and so, you know If we approach that situation Dunking and shaming them. They probably wouldn't even want to talk to us. We just said, hey, there's a good way to get everyone to do more engineering and Moving files around and being able to open and save in in a format That can be shared. Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, uh, let's see I don't know if the espo ones are going to be on adafruit But it's kind of frustrating to buy one from another electronic shop and uh, uh, okay So are we going to have the espo ones on adafruit? No, we used to and they kind of suck in my opinion and the support burden Is not worth it. Um, they're not You know, you're not only are you are you getting a board without a lot of gpio, but it's also not fccc certified and It's an esp 8266, which doesn't do tls very well and it's slow honestly everyone should be moving to the esp 32 or s3 or at or c3 or something I think the 8266 is Let it go to bed. Let it rest Let it close its eyes and go into eternal dreamless slumber. It did its job We should move on Okay, and let me just check the other chat over there Uh Yeah, it looks like a couple people are you know, they These all to him. It's great. Um, that's fine. I look. I mean all all are valid Yeah, I don't I don't really need altium. Um, I do like incad one thing if for folks who someone said they're having some problems importing uh eagle into key cad um, you know, one of the things that would be really helpful is Talking to the the product teams On both groups, uh, you know, one is an open source effort, but there's specific people that are working on these things I even like google and apple The those teams work together about specific things to make sure things work out Like they're competing heavily on some stuff, but the the engineers are interfacing with one another to make sure certain things work together So, um, if they can do it surely we can and I think they If you have experience with that like here's a specific file Um engage with them in the forums. Um, you know, I think especially if you can provide that file and say this is Isn't working they can probably track it down because it really is pure xml output. There's no reason Uh, there's no he's in any turn complete Uh cad file editor could not parse and load uh eagle files. Yeah, I'm just noticing this is a trend I'll just use this as an example. So let's say if you're trying to import something from eagle cad and uh into chi-cad doesn't work So What do you think as a maker especially if you have a following? Uh, we'll get you the best results.  I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed Pity sad shame. Um, and you know make them feel bad They might they might say hey like please dms and like okay, we'll take a look at it, but like What a thankless terrible thing and then when you and then when they fix it You're like, oh, you should have done it sooner or you know There's forums and support and places where they want to get feedback and there's you know tickets that are openable And I think both entities have Forums and you could say hey, I'm a problem with importing a file Can I publish it here and can you take a look at it? So one of those things are going to work or even both, but which one feels better at the end I think it doesn't matter how you get to it and I'm just noticing it's just like I think it might be too easy to just Terrorize people online. It's very easy to Let me just see if there's anything else Oh someone said there's a key cad discord and you can go there and they'll be able to help you out So there you go. See this is why and then you know, I It's funny. This community does a great job with all this stuff I'm just noticing like the fractures and all the different communities not not in the Adafrit world But in like the other communities that are you know maker um, it's very It's very twittery And I think over the last few years everyone's been trained to um divide up And be separated easily imagine if we all got together all the things we can accomplish Um, so I think that is all the questions this week Oh, I can answer this one. Uh, any update on the rpi's the raspberry pies. No, um, unfortunately or fortunately Uh, we're navigating this the best we can so if you Need a raspberry pie and you haven't bought one you can get one in Adafrit. We release them every week Just make sure you're signed up as a authorized account with two-factor authentication and with a verified account And maybe you don't get it one week, but you'll get it a week for sure Um, please don't try to work around it and you know sell these on ebay and stuff like that Where we have countermeasures. We're doing the best we can But people have been consistently been able to get a raspberry pie What you do here is the people who say it's still not good enough. They have a cluster. They want to build Well, now's maybe not the time to build a cluster Maybe you can wait just a little bit and let some other folks have the other seven raspberry pies Okay, uh, let's uh, wrap up. Don't forget the code is banana plug I think ze is behind the scenes tonight on the show And the Adafrit Slack special.  So thanks for Sending that in and thanks for doing that thing Raising a good kiddo and uh That's our that's our show tonight. That's right What's that sound effect? I don't know if I played any time Um, let me see if I can If you can hear it. It's the it's the music Yeah, brought to you by Geico Did you eat a mattress? Actually, aren't those mattress ads I don't know By Keygreens the best keto Seed oil All right, this has been Adafrit production. Uh, here's your moment is in her tpt3 of radio ads. That's right Hey everybody


This video is kind of for myself so I don't have to look up the directions on how to do this every time I hook up a new lighting system in my house. So here we have some wireless relays So they control up to 240 volts AC power And they use 433 megahertz to control turn these relays on and off. So here we got the relay We've got the power in and out and we got the little wireless board here This is a this can control four sets of lights the problem with these besides the fact that they don't well this one came with an enclosure that they don't come in with enclosures is That you need to power them with either 12 or 5 volts depending on what model you buy Which is not practical when I'm trying to control the lights in my house So I would have to get some sort of power adapter and all that so luckily you can get these little devices Which come with a nice little enclosure? although I do put them in an extra enclosure whenever I hook them up in walls or ceilings and You just run your 120 volts in and your 120 volts out to the first light in the line And then you can control them with remote controls or they usually come with some sort of light switch like these ones here This is a three-gain one that just sticks the wall and runs off a battery I also have a little ESP chip which is hooked to a 433 megahertz radio device so I can through my Wi-Fi from my computer or my phone Control these devices and I just want to go over how to program them very quickly because they can be they can take more than one Cold they cut code they come pre Programmed with whatever switch they come with but you have this button here And you can program multiple codes into one device So the way it works is if you want to clear out all codes you press this button eight times one two three four five six Seven eight and it should clear out all codes Then to program a toggle button so one button that turns it on and off you press it twice Then you press the button you want to send it records that signal and then that button will turn the light on and off Which is great if you're out of switch right there at the light you just need one button to turn it on and off But if I'm going to use my computers to set timers to turn on some lights and turn them off at a certain time Or if I'm not at home and I want to make sure lights on or off a toggle button I don't know whether it's on or off because it's saying the same signal well You can program them so they go into latch mode So you can have a button for on and a button for off or a code that you're sending from your computer Or mobile device and the way you program that is you hit this twice or sorry three times And then a button for on and a button for off and then this button will turn it on always and this button will turn it off Always and I can program My phone or computer to send that signal so that I can set crown jobs or from my mobile device Send signals turn lights on or off so again to clear out all codes Press the button eight times to set toggle mode hit the button twice And then hit the button that you want to control for toggle if you want to do latch mode It's three times and then a button for on and a button for off And then you have the codes for on and off and I don't know how many codes one device can hold but usually you have Just a few in there, but I think it can hold quite a few codes so Also, I live in a very rural area if you live in a city or even the suburbs You probably don't want to go with 433 megahertz devices because they're not encrypted They're just basically sending a string of Numbers and anybody with a few dollars can record those and then send those signals out and turn your lights on and off I live in a very rural place There's nobody around me the odds of someone coming by and sniffing these and then sticking around to turn my lights on Off is highly unlikely, but if you're in a more Suburbed or city area you probably want to go with something with Wi-Fi that is Encrypted or there's other devices out there They just tend to be a lot more expensive than these these are a few dollars for both the device and The buttons to turn them on and off So I just want to go over that because every time I hook up one of these I've got to go and go how many times do I press the button to do this and how many times Do I press the button to do that? But now I have a video that I can reference and if you ever get and this is just one brand But there's just if you search on Amazon 433 megahertz Relays or light switches you will find these sort of things although that these aren't they come with these switches And again, you have to hook these up in line usually in the wall or ceiling by the first light I have no clue if you could hook these up I don't think you can to the actual switch game box because you need both lines going in and lines going out and Usually switches just have the one line in and one line out if you understand what I'm saying If not, you're probably not going to do this. Anyway, thanks for watching films by Chris calm I hope that you have a great day


Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Takayuki Miyoshi from Japan, and I'm wearing Pankuapu. Do you know? This is a World Camp T-shirt. Okay, I'd like to talk about the future of Contact Form 7. Do you know Contact Form 7 plug-in? Yes. Thank you very much. Oh, and I'm Takayuki and Prangui developer, and this is my profile page. And three years ago, I had a speech in World Camp Singapore. This is my video. And I'm from Fukuoka, Japan. Fukuoka is here. And Fukuoka is known as the birthplace of wapu, original wapu. Do you know that? In 2011, a designer in Fukuoka made original wapu. Then it's growing. And I'm traveling now for World Camp. Last week, I went to Jakarta for World Camp Jakarta. And then next month, in Philippines, Sebu World Camp and Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. So I'm traveling now. Okay, I released the latest major version, Contact Form 7, 5.1, last December. And this version is the final major update for the plug-in, final. I mean, of course, I will release minor update for security fix or other bugs fix, minor bug fixes. But Contact Form 7, 5.2 won't come. Why? Because I'm on another project. So I want to introduce the project. The project name is Contactable IO. What does this, what the Contactable IO address is? It's not about WordPress plug-in. It's not about WordPress. It's about general web forms. It solves problems in seeing web forms. What problems? Now, there are technology called cross-origin resource sharing, CORS. With CORS, you can submit form to different origin. I mean, yeah, like this. Without CORS, this is the usual form. So this is a web server. And user access this web server. And this web server provides form. And this guy input into the form and submit the form data into the same server, right? But with CORS, you can submit into different server. Yeah, this can be possible with CORS technology. But there is a problem. You need validation when you use the form, right? So this email address is incorrect format or text length is proper. Yeah, every validation works. But when you submit to the same domain, of course, this server knows how to validate. But when you submit to different domain B server, this domain B server doesn't know how to validate. This is what my new project, contactable IO, resolves. How? I make a schema sharing shared by these A and B domains. I call it, I name it, contactable IO schema. And I haven't developed it and this is just the explanation. C-O-I-C-I-O-S uses JSON LD technology. And other technology. How many people are developers? Not so many. I use Cloudflare workers and MongoDB and OZero. And finally, I connect from each contact form seven site, each form to this contactable IO. Contactable IO is the kind of API service I'm developing now for other reference implementation for the project. Maybe I can show you by the end of this year. Maybe. Yeah, that's it. Thank you very much.


The Lagos State Governor, Baba Yidesawonlu, has presented a budget proposal of 1.388 trillion naira to the State House of Assembly for approval for the 2022 fiscal year, plus TV Africa Lagos State House correspondent Love Ikuku Oyedokun reports. The Lagos State House of Assembly was filled with state executive council members, lawmakers, judges and traditional rulers who came to hear Governor Baba Yidesawonlu present his 2022 budget proposal. The time came for the governor to take the stand and presented a spending plan that is 138 billion naira more than that of 2021. He tagged it the budget of consolidation. 564.9 billion naira was budgeted for recurrent expenditure, while 823.5 billion will be spent on capital projects. The speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Mother Shiru Obasa, passed a vote of confidence on Governor Baba Yidesawonlu for his achievements. But he gave an advice to the governor. We all see all over the state. Nevertheless, we advise the Secretary to focus more on intents for a great job opportunity and reduce bottleneck in movement. That would be jail towards eliminating poverty. The speaker also called on President Mohammad Ubuhari to work towards reducing unemployment, insecurity and poverty. On employment, inflation, insecurity and if a structural advocate in the country is at an alarming rate. As such, I hope Mr President to work towards reducing the economy. Lagos 2022 spending plan is called the budget of consolidation because it is meant to help the government perfect on the gains recorded over the years. From Lagos, love and good luck for Plus TV Africa.


So, students, in this module, we will look at 10 reasons why developers love NoSQL. And this is the list of those 10 reasons. Now, this is a pretty ambitious list. And of course, you can get all the details in the text. So, what I will do is I will go briefly through the key aspects of these 10 reasons why developers love NoSQL. So, first of all, is there is no need or there is no requirement to write SQL in NoSQL. The reason being writing SQL in itself is a complex task. And when there are changes in the database, those changes are reflected at many places. And at all those places, SQL needs to be changed, needs to be modified. Of course, there are shortcuts are available to handle this task with less time, but the performance is affected and not all the use cases are covered. Then of course, there is a simpler NoSQL query mechanism, which is there to help you. And for those people who really love to write SQL, NoSQL provides a SQL interface also. And of course, the beauty of NoSQL is what we have discussed before, that it is not dependent on the schema, right? So that is one of the reasons why developers love NoSQL, less ETL and less maintenance. Now ETL over here means that making the data close to the database, what have you developed to closer to it. Now what we are doing in many real-life problems is that forcing a non-relational mechanism or a non-relational problem into a relational database. It is like forcing a square rod into a round hole. That is the problem over here. So what happens? This results in poor performance. And of course, there are developers who are excellent developers, but when they are made to force a non-relational problem into a relational setup, then the performance suffers. And of course, due to you can see the primitives which are available, which bring the data closer to the database itself, so there is less ETL. And data structures are close to the actual problem, which minimizes the maintenance effort, which minimizes the effort to make the code run and the system to work for a longer period. Ignore change or add support to NoSQL. How can you ignore the changes because of the non-agnosticism feature of NoSQL. It is not dependent upon the schema, so that is the reason. Then of course, close code execution. What is close code execution? Code is distributed across the servers and the data is there. So what happens is that that supports parallelization. When parallelization is supported, of course, that results in higher performance. And there are married of NoSQL databases, not one, not two, not three. There are many, many different types of NoSQL databases as we discussed before, which have been developed to support different types of the problems which are encountered. And of course, there is the global support. Now it is not that NoSQL is only open source, there is global support of commercial organizations, of commercial companies, which are supporting when you have a problem. You can talk to them, you can get help from them. So that is another reason why NoSQL is loved by the developers. And try before you buy option. The point over here is that since it's open source, so what I can do as a developer is I can try different NoSQL databases and I can see which suits me, right? And I have to don't pay a single penny for it. That's the beauty of it. And once I'm satisfied, then of course, I can go and buy that database. I can buy and when I buy the database, of course, I can get many more features which are, which may not be there in the open source solution. And of course, then there is the server side scripting also that helps in having more functionally viable and efficient database solutions on a NoSQL environment. Then it is easy to scale and you don't need a costly DBA because you see in a conventional RDB environment, you have to have an experienced DBA which has to have certain skills and then you can get the performance out of those system because in many relation database environments you need specialized hardware. But in a NoSQL environment, you need and you work with commodity hardware. Commodity hardware without any bells and whistles, okay? It gets the work done using horizontal scaling. Therefore you don't need a very costly DBA. It is covered knows design is flexible. The design is flexible and as the need increases, you get more power. And as the need is not there for that kind of power, you can go away with it. So that is the beauty of it. And it relaxes the consistency, right? Now try to understand in a commercial environment, in a financial environment, of course, consistency and the asset test is very critical, right? But say if I have to make a post on a Facebook or a Twitter post, if the intended audience reads it after half a minute, it does not makes a astronomical amount of difference. So you can defer the consistency and you can allow mix and match of the consistency to meet your requirements. And of course, finally, there are 34 plus different programming languages supporting that is a tremendous amount of support as compared to other database solutions. And there is full end-to-end JavaScript support. JavaScript has become over the decade more powerful and it has become more useful. And the use has become more widespread. So there is end-to-end support of JavaScript. And of course, you do are not limited to certain set of programming skills. And of course, as a chief technology officer, the TCO, total cost of ownership is comparatively lower. It does not cost an arm and a leg. It does not cost a bundle to get working an efficient and a good NoSQL solution. So these are the 10 reasons why developers love NoSQL. Thank you very much.


Know ye not that ye are gods. Better get some popcorn ready, this one's going to be pretty long. What we're going to be talking about today is something that will be very important in the next few lessons. The topic is male and female energy. From there we'll be talking about left brain and right brain, then the new children, and bring it full circle. Ready? Deep breath. A few weeks ago we touched upon chakras and how they're the source of what's affecting your internal systems. What we didn't talk about was the energy flowing within them. Now, there's lots of kinds of energy through and around all of us. And that'll be a future topic later on. Today I want to talk about two specific energies that can be expressed through this image. The energy that flows here is male and female energy. Male energy is focused, and female energy is creative and random. Neither of them is greater nor weaker than the other, and both can be extremely powerful when fully manifested. Female energy is the land of unbridled possibilities, creative potential, and affecting the universe from within. Focused male energy takes direct roads from point A to point B. This energy can be as strong as a tank, accomplishing task and going where it needs to go with precision and without distraction. The important thing to know about this energy isn't how they move. I'm going to use some super basic sacred geometry to demonstrate this. This is the Fibonacci spiral. We're going to be talking a lot more about it when we dive into the topic. For now, all you have to know is that it starts at 1 and flows outward forever in a very specific way, and is present in all life everywhere. As male energy flows through the spiral, it goes from base point to point, from here to here, to here to here. It doesn't curve. It just goes straight where it needs to be. Female energy, however, would flow in the actual spiral. It would go around going in and around outside all the lines, but still getting to the same or similar results. This is the graphic representation of how it flows, but it also acts in the same way. From this understanding, you can see how we use these energies in our lives. It's the difference between driving straight to work and being on schedule all the time, and taking the scenic route because it's a more pleasant ride, even if it means being late. It's baking cakes strictly by what it says in the cookbook, and putting it together with what just feels right. It's getting that promotion for working the hardest, and getting that promotion for coming up with the best ideas. Here's a relatable example. It's the difference between Inception and Sucker Punch. Both about dreams, but one of them being the masculine story of professional men just doing their no-nonsense work, trying to get the job done, and the other being the feminine story that was creative and random, and, according to many, didn't make much sense. Both male and female energy, like the Chakras, have their own traits. Male energy is linear, analytical, strategic, and practical. However, when male energy is constricted, it is very blundering and confrontational, and what tends to occur is not seeing all sides of a situation or not being open to any other possibility other than the one being pursued. You can see a lot of that in today's society. Most commonly, we call it being closed-minded. Female energy, on the other hand, moves in curves. It does not stay inside the lines. It is creativity and movement and expression and emotion. It can do anything and go anywhere, but it has trouble sticking to schedule. If constricted, it can get out of its flow, running rampant between emotions and mood swings and ideas, the creativity could get jumbled and come out as an out-of-control mess. We don't have this widespread issue in today's society, and it has a lot to do with our brain hemispheres. We're going to look at that in a moment. One big difference between the two is that male energy looks at parts, and female energy looks at holes. Before I go on, I want to make this clear.  Like, it's in the mix, but it's not a fundamental part of the energy itself. For example, if you look at the shape of male and female bodies, men have straighter bodies, women have curvier bodies.  Okay, brain hemispheres. We have two of them. And if you remember what you learned in grade 10 biology, this will be familiar.  It is orderly, statistical, logical, and mathematical. It sees things in straight lines, rational, and practical. The right brain is the female energy side of the brain. It is our creative side, a free spirit. It is passion and experience of taste and feeling, movement and art. As is the same with the energy, the left brain cannot make sense out of the right brain. You cannot put feelings and expressions within boxes. They must be felt to be truly experienced. The right brain too cannot make sense about how the left brain understands things. Okay, so as a species, we are primarily left-brained. Well, incredibly left-brained. This basically means that as a species, we essentially have a male energy imbalance. There is way too much of it. It is dominant and it's constricting on the female side of the brain. Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's kind of a blessing in disguise. But we have to talk about some other things first. So, there's nothing wrong with our female energy. We're just not really using it to potential. Our male energy is really messed up. And that's why we're where we are right now. By where we are, I mean the economical, political, financial, religious, nuclear, dolphin and bee killing global war crisis. After lesson one, I touched upon how right now the world is a mess in a myriad of areas. A few people commented saying, well, study the financial crisis and study the nuclear crisis and study the political crisis. They're all completely separate issues. And this is how the male energy looks at parts. We're realizing now that it's constricting on our point of view. As a whole, all of these issues together are further proof that we don't understand how to be harmonious because our male energy is out of sync with each other and the planet. So let's look at indigo children and super psychics. There's a new type of children being born on earth. Since sometime in the 80s, new children started appearing with different or unusual traits. Their numbers began to increase. And today, nearly 100% of all children born in North America are indigo children. So what are these traits? Let's go over a list developed by Jan Yordy, a play therapist who has been studying and working with indigo children for about four years now. As we go over the list, see if any of these sound like you. Maybe strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures or parents. Have a wisdom and level of awareness and caring beyond their youthful experience. Traditional parenting and discipline strategies don't appear effective with these children. If you try and force an issue, a power struggle is the typical outcome. Energetically, indigos are vibrating at a much higher frequency, so they can get scrambled by negative energy easier. Emotionally, they can be very reactive and may have problems with anxieties, depression, or temper ages if not energetically balanced. Are creative, right brain thinkers, but may struggle to learn in a traditional left brain school system. Often, indigos are diagnosed as having ADD and ADHD since they appear impulsive. This is because their brain can process information faster, and they require movement to help keep them focused. Indigos are very intuitive, often psychic, and may hear, see, or know things that seem unexplainable. Indigos may have more problems with food or environmental sensitivities since their system is more finely tuned. When their needs are not met, these children appear self-centered and demanding, although this is not their true nature. These children have incredible gifts and potential, and may be shut down when not properly nurtured and accepted. So what's causing this? Well, for one, there are two new DNA blocks being activated within these kids. They are microcephaline and ASPM. Both of these blocks are designed to regulate brain growth, giving the kids a broader spectrum of thinking and a newer way of learning. Because of this, the average IQ of an indigo child is about 140, which is 40 to 50 points higher than the average IQ. We're just learning now that our school system's methods of teaching are becoming outdated. It's because our kids are changing. We're going to look at the broader spectrum of why this is happening in a moment. For now, let's move on to the badassery that is the super psychics. These kids are hardcore. They can do anything, literally. Some can move solid objects through walls with their minds. Some are blind, yet they can see everything around them from a myriad of different screens within their head. There are some who can look at a person and know absolutely everything about a person just from looking at them, including when they'll die. So why haven't we heard about this? You'd think this would be huge in the world. Well, for one, almost all super psychic children are in China. And almost all of the evidence is hardly ever rendered into English, although some of it does make it into the public in China. If you want to learn more about this, the book China's Super Psychics by Paul Dong and Thomas Raffill is a great starting place. Before we wrap up, we totally have to bring this video full circle. What on earth do the new children have to do with male and female energy? Isn't it obvious? Indigo children are directly connected to our species, male energy and super psychics to our female. As we grow closer and closer to the peak of the shift, the planet itself is beginning to change. Essentially, this is happening to balance us out. On one half of the world, Indigo children are being born. On the other half, super psychics. They are here to help the consciousness of the planet in an incredibly crucial time. There are way more Indigo children on the planet than super psychics because it's our male energy that needs to understand. It's through the Indigo children and their new way of thinking, which is affecting the consciousness of the planet, putting us back onto the harmonious path. As we just learned, to understand things, it takes two to tango. You cannot only understand something by reading about it. You need both sides of the brain to click. In the modern world, things like astroprojection and channeling aren't really considered science. One of them is exploring different realms outside of the body, and one is communicating with beings of higher consciousness. And yet, because we can only seem to measure it from experience, it doesn't qualify to be legitimate. Because of this left-brain constriction, we have lost a major part of what life is about. See, what we have is called polarity consciousness. We see everything in two ways, good or bad, hot and cold, right and wrong, religion and science. To once again become harmonious with each other in the planet, we have to learn to understand again from the left brain. When this happens, we can move out of polarity consciousness into unity consciousness. And that's essentially where we're going. That about wraps it up. See you next time. We are suspended in this one moment, a moment, spiraling in fractal design.  You're too afraid to let go, so you're always trying to catch up with time. The new consciousness needs a new experience, because this conception of reality that enslave us. It's not about the past, the future, it's about...


Hello everyone, I am Sia Satish Kumar, Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry in Manipal Hospital, Spangler. Stress becomes a problem just because a person is not able to be functional. Say, a person who is supposed to perform when the person is not able to perform his functionality, what is expected to be done is not there and that is because of the stress. So, hence stress becomes a problem and a person is not able to do what he is supposed to do, probably it could be from a momentary task to something that could be a weekly or a monthly task, that is how a person is not able to do because of the stress.


So I'm here. I open it up to you tonight for anything when I seem to be alone Doing a task will there be building up the fire or doing something on the computer or anything else. It's like It's hard for me to see this extension So it's hard to really be in the joy So can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah, yeah the the Thoughts that will come to your mind around extending. It's quite common that that they involve body thoughts, you know whether It's extending to to children extending to friends and partners extending to neighbors In the community sense or even extending on the internet, which may not have quite such an overt thing You don't necessarily have to be doing a Skype video call to get that feeling of you know It could even be a voice call or where there's just a Picture or face or maybe not even a face. It's just that feeling of some things going on and extension is is Oftentimes associated with communication Even when you're stroking a cat or stroking a dog and or giving him a belly rub and they're purring or they're just Just have this soft side that's coming from them and All of that seems to involve a sense of of communication Whether we're talking about we do we did talk about in our talk verbal communication and nonverbal and saying a lot of it Seems to be nonverbal It could be a smile a look a glance, you know as well or a hug or just a touch as well as Verbal whole range in there and so basically communication is Defined in an ego sense as as between this and this between You and someone else between this person and that person even we see all the animal photographs on Facebook of all these different creatures together You know and everyone's all you know, there's a whole rows of them, but they still involve hugs or Lying together or affection or licking or nuzzling or snuggling or something and it's involving bodies So it does seem to be that a lot of what seems to be extension is associated with bodies And where you're going with this is so far beyond that that really what What true extension is would be like we call it creation God creates Christ creates it's not even of this realm so pure extension is just light radiating or Purity eternity just radiating extending forever and ever and ever that's actually what extension is but to come to that We would say you have to align with a purpose That the spirit has given to us to align so When when you start to realize that all your busy doings and all the things you do whether it's you know carrying firewood or it's working on a network for a Setting up a server or or talking on the phone or Counseling someone or doing a Sunday service or whatever There's a lot of association in the mind with communication and I call that it's horizontal communication So the Holy Spirit has to use horizontal communication in such a refined way that at some point you have a Complete experience that the communication is what I call vertical that It's like all of what you thought you were doing in a horizontal way wasn't it and you find yourself in a aha moment of Communion with God and you go, huh? Ha That's what it was always. It was never that other thing because remember the ego invented linear time The ego invented bodies the ego invented words Oftentimes extending is associated with words, but the ego invented The words words are but symbols of symbols twice removed from reality Even the words are part of the mesmerism Even the words are part of this False association and so the Holy Spirit has to work with everything that the ego made linear time bodies words everything and work with all of that to To bring the mind into alignment with a purpose that is the gateway back to eternity, which is the gateway back to communion and that's that's like a high developed will say a highly Highly evolved state of mind where you start to realize what's real and true and natural Which is just communion. It's just communion with God. That's as simple as it is so When we talk about avenues of extending It's like the Spirit can give you lots of ideas and you may have noticed as we've been talking about extending that you start Have ideas coming Maybe it'd be like I like to travel and teach or maybe I'd like to go on Pow talk or ACI I'm gather and do some sessions there and oh Maybe Google hangout You know, there's all kinds of seemingly digital ways to share and extend There's ways in terms of the community to share and extend and and those are things that the more You give yourself over to them There'll be a transfer of training that will occur like this glowy feeling this warm glowy heart bursting kind of experience that will transfer to bringing the wood and sticking the piece of wood in the fireplace You start to feel that same glow. It's just starts to transfer transfer to absolutely everything It's because it's a single purpose that's unifying perception. That's actually helping to transfer the you know between the church service and the counseling and the Putting a log on the fire. It just spreads and spreads and spreads and that's what the mind training is about That's what forgiveness the song we listen to from Elisa more That's what forgiveness is is giving a single purpose to all perceptions And then having a unified perception that comes from that single purpose and All those compartments were never it. Oh I'm just tending the fire.  Am I making progress? How is this helping? No, I was doing the dishes or sweeping or whatever, but you've had those raking the leaves in the wind experiences before where you were happy for certainly no logical reason and Yet it was quite observable how happy you were raking the leaves in the wind and And you just were immersed in the joy of of that Purpose and that's what you want to transfer to absolutely everything so that there's nothing held apart from that purpose


Hi, I'm Jeff Moss and I'm a door hardware nerd. I am a shop technician for a very busy locksmith in Cleveland, Ohio, and I've been doing this professionally for about five and a half years. My door disclosure is recently I got to help install a set of rotons on some glass aluminum doors. It was only supposed to be one door where the pivot broke and when the technician showed up to fix it he discovered that a disgruntled patron had slammed the other door extremely hard Then we had to take both doors down and install continuous hinges on the whole opening


You don't know me, but I will certainly know who you are for such terrific students as yourselves Oh, this should be an easy test right and I thought today would be relaxing That definitely got his attention the grimoire superior species their unbridled raw aggression Maked in the perfect vessel nature could make a beast this deadly So I did this guy thinks he's real tough Stings a little doesn't it time to clean it plays out. That's gonna leave a mark. Let's see this with a bag


Hello everybody Andrea Trouse here with dental tutoring. Let's talk about the first signs I guess the first clinical signs of gingival disease. So gingivitis. So what does it start to look like in the early stages? And as a new student or even a new dental hygienist or a new dental assistant this might be a little bit hard for you to determine because you think that everything looks Either healthy or not healthy, but it's a little bit harder to determine if it's in the early stages or the more advanced So think of your early stages of gingival disease as just pretty much the gums look a lot larger They're likely a dark pink or a red at this point They do not have to look so red where it's like whoa like something's happening there because I have seen that where their Gums to me actually look healthy They are a darker pink maybe but that could be normal for that person So I don't necessarily think the color means that things aren't healthy because somebody could have a dark pink Look to it, but then as soon as you go to clean your teeth their gums are bleeding everywhere So then that tells you that okay gingivitis is happening here things look okay from the outside But as soon as you start a cleaning the teeth or probing or polishing just things just start bleeding everywhere Then that tells you and the patient that things aren't as healthy as it could be but typically the gums do look more red But again, they don't have to it depends on the person And if you're new at this a dark pink and a red may look almost the same When I was a student this was hard for me because I never felt That people's gums looked red Necessarily unless it was really really obvious So if it's harder for you to determine the color that's okay The next things to look for are the gums looking pretty shiny because if they look shiny That's actually not healthy if they're puffy. That's not healthy if the gums are bleeding That's not healthy either. Those are kind of the main things to look at Think of the outside of an orange peel. Okay, if the gums are stippled, that's that's pretty healthy That's how you want them to look but I have seen it where the gums are stippled, but they're also red So red means not healthy. So then you might be saying okay So if the gums are stippled, they're healthy if it's red, it's not healthy But the patient has red stipple gums. So which is it? So they're they're obviously not healthy if the gums are that red or if they're bleeding So you might have to look at a couple other things Always ask the patient if their gums bleed when they're brushing or flossing if they're flossing then obviously They have to be doing it more and that's why the gums are bleeding because they're not healthy But if the gums are bleeding as they're brushing then they're really not healthy because that's not normal at all For the gums to bleed when they're brushing because that's that's a pretty hard thing to do Meaning their gums have to be very unhealthy for that to happen If the gums are bleeding when they're flossing, yes, things aren't healthy But that's more Normal than if the gums are bleeding when they're brushing because when I have a patient tell me that the gums are bleeding When they're brushing I think oh like you must have a lot happening there when I start to clean your teeth They will probably bleed everywhere. It's going to be harder to see it's going to take me longer There's probably a lot of plaque and tartar underneath the gum lines like I think all all kinds of things But when I hear that the gums are bleeding when the patients flossing well, I just simply say It's probably because you need to floss more and if you ask the questions the patients will usually say to you Well, I haven't been flossing for months. I just started flossing last night So I kind of expected the gums to bleed and that makes sense because even after you clean the teeth Tell the patient of course To floss every day, but also let them know that if they floss every day the gums will still bleed Probably for a good week or two because the gums have to get used to it So make sure to tell them that because if you don't tell them that then they might start to floss And then they might say oh wow the gums are bleeding so I'm going to stop flossing But you don't want that you want them to keep up with it because if they have gingivitis of any kind the best thing to do is To floss because that's where it starts is in between the teeth and even if they brush Five times a day if they're not flossing then that will not help them. It helps them, but it won't completely cure The gingivitis and the nice thing about that though is that if they're brushing and flossing It takes maybe two weeks or so and then things are perfect again Things are healthy, but they have to keep up with it. So that's the nice thing about that is you can actually Show them, you know show them That their gums are bleeding a lot But let them know that if you start to floss every day this won't happen, but then also tell them It's not normal. It's not a good thing for their gums to bleed if they're if they had a cut on their arm and It started to bleed they would be concerned right yet a lot of patients aren't concerned when it's bleeding inside the mouth But that's not a good thing. So let them know that that's not healthy. It's not a good thing But it's also curable But if they leave it alone then things can get a lot worse and then their gingivitis can advance to periodontitis and Then they have had other issues things can become painful. They can start to lose Bone around the teeth and nobody wants to hear that. So I will always say that and they will go Oh my gosh, I don't have that to happen, but that's how it happens. So if they're not paying attention If they're not brushing and flossing properly, then that's what can happen. So start them off simple Try to be firm obviously but not mean because if you're yelling at the patients And that's not that will not help them right and then they're not going to brush and floss to begin with If your patients flossing maybe say once a month, then it might be hard for them to floss every day But start them off small say well, you do have to floss Every day is ideal, but let's do it at least four times a week to start and If you notice that that's not helping then please do it every single day Okay, they will likely notice that it's not helping but then that's putting onus on them that they have to pay Attention to if their gums are getting healthy or not So that's what I'd like to do is to put the onus on them to well Let them know that it can be curable. It's just they have to work at it at home So simply having their teeth cleaned isn't enough. They have to work on it at home So then that way their gingivitis does not advance into perio So I hope this helped you guys if you guys have any questions Let me know and I will see you guys in the next one
