So, I don't know how many of you have seen Eve Fartlow trending on Twitter. I still don't necessarily know what's happening here, but I saw all of the lefty folks that I follow in my social circles online tweeting out Eve Fartlow celebrating that it was trending. So I don't know what's going on. I pulled up this article, I read like a couple of paragraphs, I still don't really get it. So let's investigate what's going on with the Eve Fartlow debacle. Is already like I'm a fan, like I'm all for the Fartlow movement, whatever that may be and I'm saying that even not necessarily knowing the details of the story. So this is from the focus, they write Eve Fartlow hits back at Fartlow nickname, music journalist on Twitter trolls. So from the get go, love the story, love, love, love the story, nothing but respect for my queen Eve Fartlow. Or perhaps she's the bad guy. I don't know. Trolls are ever present on social media as music journalist Eve Bartlow has discovered this May 2021 Eve Bartlow has faced trolling day in, day out as she becomes a target online. The trolling is rooted in bestowing Barlow with the new name Eve Fartlow. Now, now Barlow has hit back and shared her thoughts on the Twitter trolls. Before we go any further, I'm just going to say that if she even addresses this, she's going to blow it up, like it's going to become a bigger thing. If you want Fartlow to go away, you can't acknowledge this, otherwise people are going to feed into this. Like this is the way that the internet functions. Eve Bartlow, Barlow discusses the Eve Fartlow nickname and online trolling. First of all, let me just say, if somebody changed my name to Mike Fartorato, I think that would be based.  I self-identify oftentimes as Mike Fettuccine for meaning purposes. If you listen to the outros with Donald Trump, the Trump impersonator that I have calls me Mike Fettuccine. I think that's awesome and hilarious. This isn't something to really be taken seriously, but people really, they get so offended if you change their names and I don't get it. I saw somebody online who's a hater call me Mike Fartorato and I had nothing to say about that. I just had to applaud them because that's truly brilliant. It's genuinely brilliant to change my name to Mike Fartorato. So kudos to that person. So if I were Eve, the advice that I would offer to her is to embrace Fartlow, but she's not. She's pushing back. Jeff Waldorf says, I got used to being called Waldorf. Yeah, right? I mean, I feel like if they change your name, that really isn't that big of a deal. And lucky for her, she has a genuinely based meme name, Eve Fartlow. That is incredible. If that was Mike Fartlow, I would love it. If I was trolled online and people were calling me Mike Farticini, I would have to applaud those folks. But anyways, okay. So on May 25th, Eve Barlow published an article with the Tablet magazine discussing the recent Eve Fartlow nickname. Barlow wrote, I don't know who crafted the first tweet that simply said Eve Fartlow, but whoever it was, bot or human, started a fire. Really is it that serious? Over the past two weeks, Twitter has been littered with the words Eve Fartlow. Every time I tweet, this title is the response I attract, and it is pelted at me irrespective of what I write. She continues hundreds of trolls with blue ticks and some without just start responding to me, Eve Fartlow. Some people have recently switched it to Eve Shartlow, but Eve Fartlow seems to be 1-6. I'm already crying. Oh my God. I'm Eve Shartlow. I'm crying. Eve Barlow jokes in the article that her new nickname sounds like it was invented by a three-year-old, Hyon Poptarts. The nickname allegedly started after Barlow tweeted about her friend misreading a free parking sign as saying Free Palestine. Barlow even made her Twitter account private after other users jumped on this tweet. Barlow's tweet allegedly posted 24 of May has been deleted, so I don't understand. So she misread her friend's tweet. Let me read this again because I'm confused. The nickname allegedly started after Barlow tweeted about her friend misreading a free parking sign as saying Free Palestine. If your friend actually did this, then your friend is very stupid, and you deserve the Fartlow and or Shartlow nickname for even tweeting about this. It is unconfirmed where or by whom the nickname originated as of yet. However, the nickname has been adopted by hundreds, if not thousands online. This is exactly what someone named Eve Fartlow would say. Let me see this. Eve Fartlow is not my name. Oh my God. A story of the year so far. Who is Eve Barlow? Eve Barlow is a Scottish music journalist currently based in Los Angeles, California on her social media profiles and in her tablet magazine profile, Barlow now goes by Eve Dove-Bear. This is her family's name, which has been changed and altered over hundreds of years as a result of persecutions. In her most recent tablet article, Barlow discusses these name changes. Eve Barlow isn't really my name either. Barlow has been my family's name for three generations, but before that our name was Birlovich. We changed it when my family fled Tsarist Russia during the Eastern European programs in the late 19th century and before Barlow was Birlovich, it was Dove Bear. Okay I don't need all of this history. I don't need all of this information. Let's get back to the Fartlow and Fartlow talk. Eve Barlow writes for numerous illustrious music publications. Barlow currently... Okay. Let me get to her. I think that they link to her article. Okay. So this is where she discusses the Fartlow nickname. This is really what I want to see. So this is from Eve Barlow, the social media program. Twitter will not free Palestine, but it will certainly make the world a more anti-Semitic place. So let's see what her argument is. So this is Eve Barlow's response to the Fartlow backlash. I don't know who crafted the first tweet that simply said Eve Fartlow, but whoever it was, Bader Human started a fire. So we read this, but we'll keep going, even though this is a bit redundant. So bear with me. Tensions in the Middle East erupted this past month, so you may be thinking, why is this dumb Zionist liar playing the victim? She should cope. Still not sure what this means. She's complaining to me from her Los Angeles apartment about people spelling her name in a dumb way online. There's a little bit of self-awareness here, at least. She's not wading through rebel. She's not running from rocket fire. She's not surrounded by senseless violence. Let's ratio her. I mean, this is the definition of the NPC meme with the smiley face mask, but behind the mask, she's crying. You're right. I've not been living in a bomb shelter. I have not had my house cave in, so I have asked myself the same thing, because neither have all people or bots tweeting my name incorrectly, doing everything they can to discredit the messaging. I'm trying to relay to my followers to challenge the way this conflict has been narrated by mainstream media and social media influencers. I challenge it because the truth matters. The truth protects lives. Okay, is this going to be some gigantic... How long is this? Oh, good god. All of this in response to Fartlow?  I have the instinct to just stop reading and tweet Eve Fartlow at her, but let's keep going. Okay, where were we? Due to the juvenile nature of this Eve Fartlow attack, which sounds like it was invented by a three-year-old high on pop tarts, I wondered if the bombardment of Eve Fartlow tweets was engineered to drive me insane. Stop looking at your mentions then, Jesus. Perhaps it was a form of digital waterboarding aimed at forcing me to surrender, delete all my accounts, log out of all devices, and commit digital suicide. Okay, she just, she took it from here all the way to here. Like she's amping up the drama here. She's saying, is this a form of digital waterboarding aimed to drive me off of social media and therefore commit digital suicide? Eve. It's not that serious.   Eve Fartlow is not my name. Regardless of how many thousands of times it's echoed back at me by trolls online. See, she doesn't understand that when she writes something like this, like this sentence specifically, it makes me want to go tweet Eve Fartlow to her. Because it's getting to you and that's why they're tweeting at you, Eve.  But because you're taking it so seriously, this is why they continue to tweet Eve Fartlow and Fartlow at you.  And look, I, that's not to say that it's fun if you get bombarded online. It's happened to me. It's happened to Jeff Waldorf. I'm sure that he can attest to it. When you are an influencer, even though that's such a cringy word, it's going to happen. And you want to know what I do when that happens? I force myself to not look at the mentions or log off of Twitter. Now I don't really remember anything like light hearted. Like usually when I get bombarded, it's like, it's bad. It's homophobia.  But people are just, they're saying Eve Fartlow and she's so mad at it. And the fact that she's this mad is funny. It genuinely is funny. Like I don't, like if this is actually affecting her, like it, it makes me feel bad, but she's got to understand that what she's doing is inadvertently encouraging this. We changed it when my fam, okay, so we read this from the other article. Eve Fartlow is an intimidation tactic. Do you really think it's an intimidation tactic? You honestly think it's that serious? You think that when people tweet Eve Fartlow to you? You're like, oh, this will show her. I'm going to bully her off of social media. No! They're high, laughing their asses off because you're getting so mad at Eve Fartlow.  How do you not get this? A playground jive meant to drown out my voice online. Why are you taking this so seriously, Eve? Holy fuck! My words must be silenced as quickly as possible by the hammer and sickle emoji comrades who love humanity so much they want anyone who threatens their concept of utopia to kill themselves. It's all peace, love, and openness until someone wants to have a conversation. So she's definitely saying that this is from the left, but she thinks that people tweeting Fartlow to her means that they want her to kill herself.  Of course, I would unequivocally condemn that. But I mean, she put some tweets in here. Are these examples? Oh, this is Eve Fartlow! Okay, we talked about her on the stream last week. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, okay, okay.  Oh right, so she basically named all of the celebrities that spoke out at the behest of Gaza and Palestinians, and she's like, we're going to remember this. This is Eve Fartlow.   And in response to your hot takes, they're just trolling. And now you're playing the victim because you belittled the victims in Gaza, and now you don't like it.  I mean, people have such thin skin, and you have a blue check mark. So I mean, you have to at least be somewhat of a public figure, someone who's relatively prominent. I don't know. Oh my God, this article is so long. All this to respond to Fartlow. Okay, let me try to find where we were. Intimidation tactic. Okay, so that's where we were. Okay, let me try to go back through and get through as much of this as I can. A few weeks ago, as Westerners began educating themselves about Sheik Jarrah and the Iron Dome through stick figures with biased speech bubbles on the diet Prada and Refinery29 Instagram feeds, something else started happening on social media. I coined it the World's First Social Media Program. The activity that Zionist Jews in particular experience all over the web was bizarre at best and invalidating abuse of indihumanizing at worst. Zionist Jews weren't just being unfollowed for advocating for themselves and their brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine. We were also losing access to direct message and commentabilities, having posts removed for violating community guidelines, blah, blah, blah. The cherry on top, of course, was that we were simultaneously fighting off a barrage of thousands upon thousands of troll comments and hateful direct messages, which frequently included homophobic, misogynistic, and extremely violent language. Some people even generously took the time to record voice messages.  She's saying it or she tried to. Okay, that's awful. That's really, really terrible. This is what I would be more concerned with if I was her. I don't know if this person who she says did this got her personal phone number. I have had people call me on my personal phone number. It wasn't threatening, but it's still very creepy when somebody who knows you online finds out your personal information. I know firsthand how that's terrifying, but this is what I'd focus on. Not people calling me Mike Fartorado or Fettuccine. I understand that artists can be sensitive, conflict avoidant, and prone to anxiety triggers, but I noticed that whenever I tweeted about the Jewish right to self-determine in Israel, I'd lose followers, and sometimes it would be because other Jews who hate Zionists claim that we're the bane of their existence because we're preventing them from assimilating and being like everyone else. Okay, let me just say, what she's saying here, essentially I read this as, Hey folks, people are waking up to the fact that Israel is an apartheid regime who's occupying Palestine, who's committing war crimes in Gaza. And because I defended that, I'm getting backlash. It's not just people like her, Andrew Yang, probably got the most backlash that I saw. Right? So basically, I don't think I could read much more into this. Long story short, she is mad because people are calling her Eve Fartlow because she had a bad take, a hot take on Israel-Palestine. Is that basically it? I mean, Jesus Christ. Now, she says here, in the UK, there have been 116 reported incidents of antisemitism in 10 days, a 600% increase. This is also true in the United States, and this is absolutely horrific.  The reason why we want a free Palestine and we speak out on behalf of Palestinians is because we care about human rights. So of course, it's not legitimized or justified. It's not justified, rather, to say that, you know, to say things like this, this is terrible. This is awful. But this is not the totality of people who want Palestine to be free. It's just not. The overwhelming majority, 99.99% of people advocating for Palestine and speaking up, denouncing Israel, they just want the human rights violations to stop, they want the occupation to end, they want equality for Palestinians. It's that simple. Now, I want to read this because so she is outing herself here with an old tweet, would like to just clarify something. This tweet is doing the rounds as a screen grab. Someone made it to prove that I'm a racist because that's the game we're playing now, apparently. I don't know these lyrics and I never use the N-word. This is a fake tweet. Is this really a fake tweet? Okay, if this is a fake tweet then, okay. Yeah, so, okay, I don't have any evidence otherwise. I thought she was going to address it and say I was quoting a song. But all right, if you say it's a fake tweet, I have no choice but to believe you. Having said that though, to put a bow on this segment, you know what we've got to do, folks. Owned. We got her. We got her.


Welcome to the show. It is me, JP, and it is time for JP's product pick of the week. Thanks for stopping by today. For some reason, my broadcast software is being very slow when I pick new things, so bear with me if I have a little unnatural pause as I click from thing to thing. Maybe it'll even out. So first of all, I want to thank people for stopping by in the chat. We've got people over in our Discord as well as our YouTube chat, so if you're wondering where to go to hang out, those are two places that you will find us. Dave Odessa asks, do you think JP will be on time this week? I'm right here. Aren't I usually on time? I'm close. I'm very close. Where's the suspense if I'm here exactly on time though? I don't know. Do we need suspense? Maybe we don't need suspense in 2022. Maybe we're done with suspense. So let's see. Next thing I want to do is send you to a very special URL, which is this right here, head there, and you will find this show is being broadcast from inside the page. This is the product page. Right there is the URL for it, so you can go there and jump on in. And we've got a big discount on this week's product pick. All you need to do is buy it. You don't have to use a coupon code or anything like that. It is priced to sell right now, a maximum of four that you can buy if you have big, big plans. And you will have until the end of the show to get it at the price that we've got here, this low, low price. So head on over to that URL if you want to watch the show from inside of there or just get a sneak peek at what you're about to find out, which is what is this product pick of the week? So to let you know that I'm going to have Mrs. Lady Aida herself, Lamore, jump in and talk about this from the original release as well as the revised version that we've got today. So take it away, Lady Aida. One of our most popular projects is now a kit, LED goggles. So if you wanted to make these, we saw these at Comic-Cons. We see these at Maker Fairs. We see these on Show & Tell. We now have a pack so you too can make your own. And it's a deal. It's like 10 bucks off if you buy the pack. So if you were to buy all the parts, it would be more expensive than if you get the pack. Here they are.  Like how he's like holding that smile like perfectly so you can't tell that he's, he's actually moving, but he's like so still. Yeah, we have this software that what it does is if you can do a video and stay still, you can scrub out where only the motion is and then you can do those cool animated graphics that we have on our homepage now. So I'll let you, I'll let you demonstrate those. I'm showing off those goggles. I'm like Vance. And this is just the basic demo. And we have, we have also a demo that has like these little eye-looking things in a rainbow demo. So there's a couple different examples. And of course you can program your own. And the kit comes with these costume goggles, two neopixel rings, a trinket, battery and a battery charger.  You need a little bit of soldering skills, but luckily you do not have to be good at soldering. It's like pretty basic. Yep. Since we revised the neopixel rings to have more connections, it's a lot easier to make this kit. We don't suggest these for looking through because like the electronics are in the eye cups. I mean, you could make them in a way that you can kind of look through them, but it's not suggested. Lots of people do. Your vision's not so good. So just be aware of that. We designed these to put on a hat or on your forehead as part of a costume. Yeah. Like a steam-fun costume with LEDs. And it's a really great trinket introduction. So check it out. Especially if you've seen a lot of people build these now. We have a great pack. It has everything you need with a rechargeable battery. And fill the updated instructions. And it's a great project, learning project. And you can wear these all the time. This is like heirloom electronics. Okay. First up is an update. Okay. We've updated, I realized that our old LED ring trinket kit, which people love making LED goggles, was using the old trinket. We love the old trinket, but it's time has come and gone. It's been upgraded. That kit now comes with a trinket M0. Same thing. And here's the good news. The code's the same. And you can also use circuit pythons. So same price updated to use a new SAM D21 bigger and better. Yes, indeed it is. So here you can see the very cool box that you get when you order this. It comes in a lovely Adafruit black box. And this is it. Right here. That's the product pick of the week. It is the NeoPixel goggles kit. You get all of this great stuff to make these goggles in the box. In fact, I'll show you the contents of those, but first let me just show you what the goggles themselves look like in action. You should not wear these over your eyes. They're meant to wear on your head. But Lars, he can get away with stuff like that because he's Lars. So there you can see we have the goggles. I put a little diffusion material. And then we have the two NeoPixel rings that are spinning there doing some cool patterns and picking different colors and embedded right inside, thanks Lars, right inside of there. You can see we have all of the parts and goodies. So let me jump to the overhead. We'll take a look at the box of stuff you get and then we'll take a look at how they're assembled because it's a fun build. It's a fun project to take you a little afternoon sometime, not too long to put them together. Main thing you need is hot glue gun. So let's jump to this overhead and I'll position myself up in the corner there. So here's what you get in the pack. I'm going to dump all this good stuff out in fact so that it all fits. So we have the costume goggles and these have screw off caps and tinted lenses. So that gives you some of the tinting. You can just unscrew these to change out what diffusion you're using. You can pull that lens if you want to. It's a little ring. We have a pair of NeoPixel rings right there and these are RGB NeoPixel rings. We get some ribbon cables so that you can connect all of the connections you need to the data port, power, ground, and then daisy chaining to the second ring. We have a LiPo battery that we'll use to power it. You could also power this with other things such as a USB battery maybe or AA or AAA pack but the way the project is designed is to use this one. And therefore we have a little JST battery connector that you'll connect to the underside of the Trinket M0 which is the brains of this project. So originally this was a Trinket project and used Arduino. Now it's been updated to be on the Trinket M0 and you can use Arduino or circuit Python. I happen to have circuit Python running on the version I've got here. And since we give you that LiPo battery, we also give you a LiPo charger. And so this is a nice one that you can just plug into a USB port so it's just got the same connectors as a USB plug. It's just a thin PCB version that just goes right into USB plug, plug your battery in there and you can charge it in any port that you have. And you don't need these but there's some bonus header pins. So let's take a look at the construction here of the one I put together.  That's not super convenient so if you want to go for a little bonus upgrade I'm using one of these JST battery inline switches. That means you can also kind of connect this with zip ties to the back of the cord, have a little plug on the back of your band there and the battery can be mounted up here. But if you want to do it the way it is in the project, you'll plug it directly in there and keep the battery in there as well. So if I take a look at how this is put together, let me bring that camera a bit closer and I'm going to refocus that. Oh, that's pretty good. That looks good. So you can see it's a lot of hot glue. I use liberal amounts of hot glue to hold the LED rings, the no-pixel rings in place. They are connected wired to the trinket which is soldered in place and then again I'm using some hot glue as strain relief. I've got the JST connector that I soldered to the back of the board there and I have hot glued the trinket to the inside of the goggles as well. And then your cabling is just running pretty discreetly through this little slot that's already in the costume goggles over to the second ring. So data passes through the first one and over to the second one as well as power and ground are connected. You can see there I used this is just some parchment paper from the kitchen, a baking parchment paper that I used to give a nice diffused glow. And if I turn those on they'll power up and they'll just start going through their little patterns there. Now let's take a look if you jump into the code for this. Let me show a code view of the world here.  There we go. These are, you know what, let me plug them in. So these are going to run right over USB, the micro USB cable. I can plug that in right now and that'll be live. This is a circuit python that I'm running right now. So this should just be available to immediately iterate on your code. This is based on, I'll show you the project in a second on Learn Guide, but this is the demo code. I just took one thing out which is I didn't want to cycle through the other mode, but let's change that. So I'm going to change the mode option to zero and I'll just hit save. So what this is going to do is it's going to run this sort of sparkling LED code. That moves a lot faster in real life than it does on the video actually. But we get it's really nice sparkling, same sort of thing. It's going to cycle every eight seconds to a different color. If we want, we can also tell it to switch between modes, not just colors. So here I'll hit save and now you'll see we'll get the sparkle code. And then after eight seconds of that, we'll go to that sort of rotating. I really like that rotating mode there, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. And then it's going to switch colors and modes over to the next one in the list. After eight seconds of play, now we're on to green sparkles. So all of this is fairly straightforward neopixel code here. And all you need to do is copy and paste that to the board once you've got circuit Python on there and off you go. The I'm going to jump over the learn guide and show you all you need to know. So here is second while we change screens, you can do it. There we go, bring up my version of the guide. So this is the Kaleidoscope Eyes Trinket Powered Neopixel LED Ring Goggles by Phil Burgess. This shows you how to set it up, how to solder on, even though it's using the older trinket, it's the same for soldering on this little JST connector. Prepping your wires, which wires are going to go where.  This is essentially what you have. It just doesn't have the goggles not placed in the goggles yet. So the next bit you'll care about is the assembly. So if we jump over to final assembly and use, tells you to trim your extra leads, use some epoxy or hot glue for strengthening and then assemble those. You'll see there's those slits that are in the goggles. There's using some vellum to make diffusers. I don't have any vellum on hand, but the parchment paper worked pretty well. One thing I did was I actually kept my rings pretty far, show you the overhead again. You can see I kept my rings pretty far from the front. In fact, let me turn off the power to that for a second. So you can see I have a bit of space there, maybe a half an inch. And the further these are, the more diffuse it gets. You won't get individual points of light as easily. If you want to do the very sharp points of light, you won't have that. But I wanted a little bit more diffusion. So through the miracle of hot glue, I was able to just put that further away from the front of the lens. So let's see. There's the instruction on the guide for how to hot glue it. Also gives a really good tip about if you have a problem with your hot gluing, you can always use just a little bit of rubbing alcohol, which gets under. You can wiggle a little bit of rubbing alcohol, get underneath the hot glue and pop that bond. It's a miracle, it just pops that glue right off. So much easier to deal with than sort of a gunky adhesive glue.  Also, you've got a LiPo battery there, so be mindful. You probably don't want that right in your eye ball.  That's a good idea. Don't put them right over your eyes. So let's see. What else have we got? Any questions in the chat? I'll check those out. Hey, Todd says it's like a mini Aida box unboxing. That's right. Yeah, I haven't done one of those in a while, but I think I fall into the natural rhythm of explaining what the parts are. Let's see. Any other questions? No, looks good. Todd says you could use some copper foil tape to make cap-sense touch sensors as switches, and then you wouldn't need any extra components. That's a great idea. Yeah, you can run a wire and then some copper foil off to the side, and then you could do tapping between different patterns. You could add an accelerometer if you want to do stuff based on head tilt or whacking yourself in the head. So yeah, really cool goggle set. Let me put them on my own forehead here as we finish this up. I'll just have a little cord dangling off the back there. So ignore that. Hard to... there we go. Let me stick that back there while we finish that up. Yeah, look at those, huh? So yes, I did pick this with enough time, I think, for people who want to use this for Halloween. I have used these for at least a couple of Halloween's when I just had to quickly grab something and go out trick-or-treating. I just throw these over my head and grab a hoodie, and I at least look like I've got something happening. It's a very low-effort Halloween costume, but it works. They're cool-looking. So that is going to do it for today. So my product pick of the week this week is the Neopixel Trinket M0 LED Goggles Kit. And I will just put these on the... I'll leave them lit, how about? That's more fun. Set that back there on the wall there. Thanks so much.  It's product 2221. You can go to that QR code if you want. You'll get them right now and get up to four sets of them. Build them for your friends. Give them out as gifts. And these are half off right now, I believe. In fact, let's go to the product page. I forgot to go and check that and make sure everything is as I said. Yeah, so normally this is $39.99 and I think we have it for $24.98. What a price. So not quite half off, right? But a good price. A really great bargain. We're practically giving them away. There's so much good stuff in there. And you can, of course, code your own effects for these in Circuit Python. Use any Neopixel code you like in Arduino or Circuit Python to do fun stuff with them. Extend them using other sensors, tap, cut, cap, touch, sense, things like that. A really fun gift for someone who's into building or for yourself. So with that, we'll wrap it up. Thanks everybody so much for stopping by today for Adafruit Industries. I'm John Park and this has been JP's Product Pick of the Week. Bye-bye.


Today's Friday. I've been vlogging on Fridays. That's so funny um today I will hopefully you guys will enjoy this. I know it's not school related But it is summer and I'm a teacher. So this is kind of what we do So this morning I worked on a couple of things for my classroom got a couple things organized And now I'm getting ready to go meet a student and his mom for lunch his mom and I got pretty close during the school year and I I just love this child. So she I ran into her at Costco yesterday She was like you have to come have lunch with us. We have a surprise for your baby. So I was like, oh, that's so sweet So I'm gonna go have lunch with them at 12 30. It is 1047 now, so I'm just getting ready. I'm getting all the way ready because I hardly ever do and I Just wanted to You're so sweet. These two are just being lazy with me. This one is just totally Vaging might wear my hair extensions today. I really want to try this like Dutch braid thing with like longer hair, but I don't know if it's gonna work So I'm gonna try it. I have hair extensions. I think you guys saw when I bought these I Think it was last summer. I Don't remember, but I do have hair extensions. These are just from sally's I don't like to spend a ton of money on them because I don't wear them a lot. Also, they kind of give me a headache sometimes Which is another reason why I don't wear them a lot.

Over the next three years we saw those cutting in towards the end of the Leicester game where they were pushing up and up. When we had sat deep that caused us no issues and against Leicester we pushed up and up, lost the ball got caught and seeing the two goals tonight. We are all over the place early on and behind the games we don't come back once in a game of football under Marco Silva. .... one or the other then after 5 minutes, effectively that is a game over. No one pulls each other anywhere. Michael Keane has had an absolutely horrific night tonight and he's pointing the finger when it's him but no one's organising anything. The goalkeepers, the eyes, he's not organising anything or if he is no one's listening just not good enough and that that's going to get you and keep you in trouble. If you can't do basic defendant you are in trouble and evident they're in trouble and he needs something to organise them. If that's not Michael Silver then he needs to change the man and get someone in who can organise them because he can't concede the amount of goals we're conceding and do anything. You know you're in a struggle to stay up if you carry on doing what you're doing at the moment so that's got to be ironed out and you know just not good enough tonight.     He was a spectacular dead ball specialist free kicks he'd score and stuff like that you used to score every pen. Now he misses penalties for us he doesn't beat the first man with his corners just poor really poor and again anonymous anonymous on Sunday shouldn't have been in the start on 11 tonight was and was anonymous um you know that's an issue you can't have players that slow in the field you just can't and he was terrible and finally very quickly our centre forward position we need to make a decision. Dominic Albert Lubin good one week then not so good you know nothing coming from Moise Keane come on I thought he'd done all right in his cameo should have scored yes he should but he was hold up play was a bit better than dons you made them think a little bit more but we've got to quickly get a centre forward and stick with it whether that's a charlison if we're going to play with two up front almost then it's got to be a pattern to play that you know it has to be Moise Keane now on the charlison for me if that's going to be the two charlison scores goals you scored again tonight get someone with them who's a different option thousands are not good not quick enough for the Premier League Dom is a better sub I think at the moment so try Moise Keane because it's it's hindering us that we haven't got things organised right the way through the team. Liverpool have made five changes tonight and with the exception of Adrian then players have looked as though they've been playing in that team you know most weeks and I get the confidence just there in the taranfield and you know they have managed fantastic and was brilliant tonight but it was almost seamless where it is and with us it always looks like you know our players have never even met even lads who played every week so that needs we need to show positions out and stick with them because we can't keep just chopping and changing it's getting desperate now we're not getting anywhere with it so that's it there are my three talking points let me know if you'd agree disagree what's the matter of action sub if you haven't give the video a thumbs up if you wish doing this on page if you want more videos or a crack knight to be a nevertonian see you later


I have a question. How can I continue to function within anything that holds objectives and goals that are form goals? Whether that be a work setting, an organization of which I'm a member, a family, a marriage, a country. I mean, anything at all, how can I function within a context that has form goals if I'm determined to have only the one goal of peace? Okay. We have to take a look at the assumptions in your question because we spoke just very shortly ago about the inner and the outer are not different. Your question is asking, how can I function, I a person function in a context that has other goals? So you're applying that, that the institution that you're working in has goals. Institutions don't have goals. Institutions are ideas in the mind that are projected outward. Situations, families don't have goals of themselves. There is no objective society that's outside of the mind. There is no objective institutions or workplaces or families that have different goals than the self. There is only the mind that holds onto concepts and the mind can hold conflicting goals. So that belief in personhood, that subject-object split that we've talked about, the inner and the outer being the same is instead of different, is a very central point in answering your question. So you're saying the question really stands on making that distinction between the inner and the outer. Yes. So the question is a declaration. Yes. The question stands on the assumption that there is an inner and an outer. For instance, that this workplace has goals that seem to be different than my goal for peace. And so there's a conflict here. It's not seen that the institution itself is a concept in my mind that gets back to the deepest level of that there is nothing outside of you, that the world is simply a world of ideas in my mind projected out. And then the mind forgets that it simply is one's own projection or dream and one perceives through the body's eyes and hears through the body's ears and thinks that it's a person in a world that is objectively different from it, that the person is the subject, which has subjective experience.  That world is seen to be objectively different than the me, the small me, that the question presumes that. Now this is very deep and it's very abstract and it's very ultimate, it actually contains the release. And if you can begin to grasp that, then you've got your foot in the door to being released from all conflict. To bring it back to what might be seen as a more practical level of working in a place and I've got my boss is telling me certain things that I need to do and I want peace but there seems to be a lot of competition in the workforce and so on and so forth. The Holy Spirit works with the mind where it believes it's at. So in other words, if the mind believes in separation, the mind believes in a time, space, universe, the mind believes in bodies, the mind believes that it is a body or will save an in a body, the mind believes that it is a person that has characteristics that is working, that has a job, that has a boss will say, the mind believes it has a country, it has a family or community, it's made up this construct, it's projected the construct and it believes that it is the construct. It is the concept. Then the Holy Spirit has to work with that mind to help it see that these constructs, these concepts are nothing more than concepts. They don't have any reality and so the Holy Spirit works with the mind where it believes it's at. So for instance, one starting out working with the Course is not asked in lesson one to lay aside all thoughts, all concepts, all beliefs that one has ever held about the world. No. The lesson starts off with nothing I see means anything. It's a simple lesson that's starting to detach from the meaning of things that the physical I see. A first glimmer of seeing is not believing or the old wives tales about what you see is what you get. It's a glimmer of the idea that there's something beyond what I see with the naked eye so to speak. So one could take the Course and apply the workbook lessons and take an idea for the day seemingly as a person, seemingly into a work setting for instance or into a church setting or into the laundry mat or wherever one seems to go and to use the idea to help loosen the mind's grasp or grip onto these concepts. And so it's just like a loosening of these concepts, a slight detachment little by little and it seems to happen in segments just little by little. So that in the ultimate sense when you carry it out and you hold pieces of your goal, you will begin to detach from the ways of the world in the mind. There may be form changes in the seeming lifestyle on the screen as well but these will just be reflections from changes in the mind. It seems like there would almost have to be form changes that would just automatically follow from and unfold from the changes in the mind. That is the mind loosens up, the form would loosen up. And if you study the life of Jesus, whether it's in the Bible or the Orantia book for a much more detailed study, if you study the life of some of the Eastern saints, like a Mahir Baba or a Ramana Maharshi, if you study the life of Krishnamurti from early childhood on and everything, this is what you see. I mean, when we say study the life, I mean you can look at the form and you can look at what the body seemed to be doing but really when we're talking about life, we're talking about the mind. You can study the teachings of these wonderful teachers and you can hear them speak of the detachment, the Buddha talking about all grief comes from attachment. It's been around for centuries, the mystics have talked about this, that you can see in their life that we don't see Jesus having to deal with when He's on His public ministry with a boss telling him, you really need to do this. This is our business policy, our corporate policy. You don't see Krishnamurti having to deal with issues of his family or his mother saying, oh honey, I don't want you to do that and him feeling very distraught. I mean, these are beings that clearly begin to see that my mind is the cause of the dream world. I am not a helpless victim of circumstances and events and things that happen to me. And beyond that, I am not a part of the world. I am not in the world but the world is in my mind and I can choose to give the world in my mind these thoughts another purpose. I can choose to detach from the ego's purpose which is to use the world as to reinforce the conflict in the mind and to maintain the belief in separation or I can detach and forgive and overlook the appearances of the world. I'm the dreamer of the dream. I don't have to answer to the dream figures because I hear only one voice. I hear the voice for God. The wisdom is really the recognition of who I am. Yes, there's great power in that recognition. Defenselessness and strength go together. Innocence and strength are attributes in the metaphysical perspective that go together. This is not so in the world that one who is defenseless or harmless is seen to be a pushover or is seen to be one that will be just mowed over by the world and a wimp victimized by this mighty external world. But to the saint, the mystic sees of course that the world is not this external thing and that I am not this little body in this giant external world, but as a matter of fact this body and the other bodies and the world itself are simply projections and there is no fear of projections in a healed mind. So it's a matter of being practical. This can seem very deep. This can seem very metaphysical. I assure you that as you continue on and you continue to step one step in front of the other and to follow the voice within and apply the principles that this will seem very natural, that there isn't a sense of the people pleasing and the co-dependencies and so on and so forth of mind that's very insecure about its own identity and needs these externals to so-called to prop it up or to build up its esteem are no longer necessary. That all true self-esteem and self-worth comes from remembering one's true identity as spirit and disidentifying from all the projections in the external world. Seeing the blocks for what they are and simply withdrawing belief from them, withdrawing investment and it's really that simple. One thing we could go into is the whole concept of sacrifice. Actually I guess it's kind of a misconcept of sacrifice. Say something about that. Well to a deceived mind that believes in the world, the world is obviously something. It's something important. It has existence and it has importance and if we get back to our ordering of thoughts or hierarchy of illusions discussion that there are elements particularly of the perceived world that have more importance than others and anything that is a projection that has value to the mind it would be perceived as a sacrifice to let something of value go. It's only the awareness of the lack of value of something, of the nothingness of some projection or something that completely eliminates the idea of sacrifice. The sacrifice comes in in the placing value in idols. And then feeling like that has to be forfeited for some reason. Yes. Probably, well I guess it's always for the purpose of getting something that's considered more valuable than what you're willing to forfeit to have that. Yes, but the idol is seen as having more value than this hypothetical thing called salvation or redemption or yeah, peace is a nice idea, it's a utopian idea. Having faith, in a sense, blind faith in something unseen like God or the Holy Spirit or so on and so forth then you know the mind is still afraid of this light, is still uncertain about the Spirit and it's like the form, the concrete has become familiar and comfortable to it and it's more comforting to it at times it believes to cling to the old, familiar, comfortable than to what it thinks of the risk opening up to something that is very unsure about and uncertain. So obviously hand in hand with laying aside the belief.


Statistics and Excel. Correlation and Regression. Got data? Let's get stuck into it with statistics and Excel. First question. What is correlation? Correlation measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. And whenever we think about correlation, we have to keep in mind the common phrase of correlation does not necessarily mean causation. However, when a phrase becomes as common as this one, correlation does not equal causation. It often loses some meaning. People often saying it as a kind of mantra without really thinking deeply about what the mantra originally meant. So we'll come back to this phrase here and possibly multiple times through the presentation. But first, a quick recap of what we have done in prior sections and prior sections. We have just tried to describe different data sets using both math math.


The new Tom Curran single fin from Channel Islands, pretty sick, board works in all types of conditions, anywhere from knee high to a good amount of overhead, it's going to hold when it's bigger and it's going to work when it's real small and weak, basically a short stubby version of the Black Beauty with just a single fin. I got a lot of volume overall, it's got a real hard rail and edge all the way through the entire board. Tom Curran single fin has a V to spiral V out the tail. Channel Islands says this board is designed for a cosmic groove. It's supposed to ride this board about 2 to 4 inches shorter than your height. This is your style. Love single fins. They're just soulful, beautiful, sweet, lovely surfboards. We need more single fins in the world.


Yeah, it's always a good feeling, you know, it's to come back. I do feel like when I was here younger, it was my first taste of what, like first team football is or professional football is. Like I never, in Marconi, you know, it's a different level and so I remember coming and training. I think I trained a few times with Popovich when he was here with the first team and I was intimidated, you know, walking out in the field in these plays and you're like, wow, you know, big eyes and everything. So I think I got something to prove now when I come back. Yeah, I'm back, but I think I'm going to show people that I'm not a kid anymore and people that have known me when I was younger that I can match it or I can do what I can do on the field and stuff. So yeah, that's going to be good. It will be. I remember when the youth league, I think I pinched a few jerseys and took them home. You know, the training jerseys and stuff and I used to wear them everywhere. I used to, you know, going out or training myself. It's very, I know, it's a proud moment, yeah. I was born and raised here in Western Sydney, Fairfield weather park area, born in Perrywood Hospital, grew up with Marconi stallions and Marconi Colts and then the stallions. Did my schooling, did everything, did my childhood here. So I know the area, I know, you know, the people, the type of people around and everything. Some people say they're rough, you know, but I think that roughness comes from people's hardships and they've had to enjoy in their lives. You know, if it's not them themselves, their parents, some people coming overseas migrating and I think it's character building. They've taken some personalising characters that they've had to, you know, they've gone through things and they've learnt. I think more people from the west are more in touch with the reality and how the world works and everything, yeah. I think as my characters as a player, the physicality that I bring, I think I can come and bring something in the A league into the team as well to help maybe beef up some areas running wise. I think he wants to bring in plays with a desire to win. I think he wants to bring plays that want to bring back what Wanderers were eight, ten years ago. Like when I was first here ten years ago, I remember with Popovich and the Asia Champions League, I remember coming to training when I was in the youth league and seeing the trophy and stuff. So I left with that perception of how Wanderers was. So I think more so not my physical capability, more so I think the desire, you know, motivation. The passion and pride for the club, I think is the most important thing. You know, always in 100%. That's all you can do really as a player, as a coach, as a staff.  I'm ready to start.


Remember a Hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark cards bring you an unusual true story on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Our distinguished host, Mr. Lionel Barrymore. Tonight we bring you another true story of an inspiring moment in the life of a famous person on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Not so long ago, we were blessed with a young composer. A young composer who looked neither to other lands nor to other ages for inspiration. He said and said it proudly, my people are American, my time is today. His name was George Gershwin. He used to be a neighbor of mine. Well, I'll tell you about that after the show. Tonight we're going to tell you a remarkable true story of how he opened a brilliant new chapter of our native musical history. Here now is Frank Gershwin, the makers of Hallmark cards. Whenever you want to remember a special person in a special way, let a Hallmark card speak for you. They're the symbols of friendship, and they can carry your thoughts right next door or half a world away. And here's something nice to remember. Even though the quality of Hallmark cards improves through the years, their prices remain the same. So look for the hallmark and crown on the back of each greeting you choose. It always means you carry enough to send the very best. Lionel Barrymore appears by arrangement with Metro Golden Mayor. Soon to release Dory Sherry's production, take the high ground, starring Richard Whitmark, Carl Maldon, and Elaine Stewart. And now, Mr. Barrymore brings you tonight's exciting story on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. It's January 1924, the jazz age of soaring skyscrapers, the favorite time of skyrocketing production and wonderful nonsense. The streets of New York, the big city, reflected all, and high above them, in their penthouse overlooking Hudson River. A 24-year-old composer, Broadway musical comedies and hit songs, is exercising in their home gymnasium. Well, listen to this. I was just punching the bag, and here, listen to this. You like that before? You like it? Yeah, it's nice. Now, you listen to this. I have a theme that blends in right with it. Good. I want to read something to you. Let me make a note before I forget it. All right. Now, go ahead and read. Oh, a theater section of today's times. You've seen it yet? Oh, I just got out of bed. I haven't even had breakfast yet. What does it say? Those fortunate enough to have heard the scintillating score he has composed for his latest musical, now in rehearsal, are referring to him as his Majesty George Gershwin. King George I of Jazz. How's that for in those games? King George. What gave him that idea? Oh, he was here at the party last night at what's-his-name-whites-the-colony. Heard you played the songs? Thought they were great. Well, I'm glad he liked them. Everybody does. Don't you? Well, they're all right. I guess I don't know. I'm beginning to feel restless with what I'm doing in a rut. In a rut? On a throne? Oh, I don't know. When I wrote the score of my first Broadway musical, I thought, Now, I don't seem to be advancing musically. George. See, that was a nice party last night, wasn't it? You mean, isn't it still going on? There's still people downstairs. I don't know. They drift in and out like the lobby of the estate. Well, can we work over at your place? No, no. The overflow from your party seeped across the hall to my apartment. I guess they figure George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, their brothers. One writes music, the other writes lyrics. What's the difference? Well, how about I walk along the drive then? Maybe they'll be gone when we get back. All right, just let me finish dressing. What else is in the paper? Well, Marilyn Miller got rave reviews. Glock and McCullough have been signed for... Signed for what? No, no, no. Not that a different item here. Walt Whiteman has set the date for his long-promised jazz concert. A concert presenting the finest in American music will feature compositions by Victor Herbert and George Gershwin, especially commissioned by Mr. Whiteman. And the concert is set for February 12th. That must be a misprint. No, no. Here's an ad for it up here in the corner. February 12th. But that's only three weeks away. Hello, Central.  Paul knows I can't turn out a concert piece in three weeks. I need at least six months. Hello, this is George Gershwin. Is Paul Whiteman there? Oh, rehearsing. Will you give him a message for me, please? Tell him I'm on my way down to see him and ask him not to leave until I get there. It's very important. Thank you. I'll reform for a cab. Will you want an address? Paul Whiteman and his orchestra are polishing a new arrangement of one of George's tunes. Paul Whiteman had already established himself as America's outstanding arranger and conductor of popular music. He and his band had just returned from the successful tour of England and the continent. They waited quietly until the number was finished. Good. That does it for now. Take a short break, boys. Sounded fine, Paul. Ah, George. You've been here long? Just a few minutes. Paul, this is about February 12th. It's the date of the concert. Oh, I had to set it for an early date, George. You know how many years I've dreamed about it and talked about it and planned for it? Well, yesterday I learned that if I don't do it and do it fast, somebody else is going to beat me to the punch. And, George, I've got my heart set on being the first to present such a concert. I know, but February 12th, it's impossible. No, don't say that. Well, I simply can't do it in such a short time, George. George, let me tell you something. The boys and I just got back from Europe. We did pretty well there. We gave them an earful of American music and they loved it. They sang it, they helmed it, they danced to it. I know, it was a big success. Except for one thing. They didn't take it seriously. They didn't respect it. Gutter Music, some of them called it.  George, I've had symphonic training. I know. I'm a serious musician, just like you. I'm not in this just for money. I like it. I think it's good music. I take pride in it. So do I. To conduct a concert of our music, a real concert. That's the most important thing in my life right now. That's why I booked Aeolian Hall where the big symphony orchestras play. I... That's why I'm going to play Irving Berlin's music with Tom Kearns and Victor Herbert. George, three weeks or not, to make it completely right, I've just got to have something of yours. Like we've talked about, something important, something big. I couldn't be more flattered, Paul. I know three weeks is a very short notice, but you can do it. I know you can't. But I have a new show I'm writing. We open with it in Boston next week. Now you know what that means. Paul rehearsals, cutting, doctoring, and I... I... Oh, Ira, tell him. No, no, no, don't tell me. Look, this is a great opportunity. You could make a great contribution to music, George. Don't say no to me. Now think about it first. If you want to take your time, I'll take all the time you want, like maybe 30 minutes. Will you do that? All right, Paul, but I... I don't think I'll change my mind. I've got to get back to work now. Ira, Ira, talk him into it. Be a sweetheart. George, thanks for coming. So long, Paul. I'll phone you one way or the other. Okay. All right, boys. Number 17. Let's go. Keep the rehearsal, Paul. All plans for work gone for that afternoon. Silent and thoughtful, ain't work all the way. Fine, exciting project, Paul has. You'll carry it off, too. Why do you hesitate? Oh, it's not just a number he wants. He's asking for a serious piece of music. Real composition. Yeah. Well, a thing like that calls for time and concentration. Even then, it's a chance he matters. Now, what time have I? Till next month. As for concentration, well... Oh. Buy it, George. No, look, look. Here we are on Broadway. These last few years have become somebody on this street. That means every time I come to bat, there are people wondering, will he strike out? Will he get a hit? I'm not modest. I know my songs are good. I'm good within limits. Now, why go beyond those limits and take a chance of falling on my face? You wouldn't fall on your face. When have you fallen on your face? Oh, George, look, you're well-grounded in theory. There's nobody comes up with more fresh ideas. And you're filled from head to toe with the one and only thing Paul wants from you. What's that? Music. Try it, George. Only three weeks, Ira. Three weeks? Some compositions have taken three years to write, and they're still only good, because the composers had nothing to say. You've got a lot of fresh new things to say. Won't take you three weeks to find a way to say them? Hmm. Well, George, it's a drug store right over there with telephones, and here's a nickel. Collated. Three weeks. All right, I'll try it. Second act of the Hallmark Hall of Fame. How do you feel when the mailman brings you an unexpected letter or a card from a friend you haven't seen in a long time? Isn't there a special brightness to the day even if the snow is falling or the sun is overcast? Somehow your job seems a little easier and your joy is a little happier just by that one kind remembrance. Well, most of us haven't the time to write a letter to our dear ones as often as we think of them, but we can show our thoughtfulness in a special way, a way that takes so little time and costs so little money. I mean by sending Hallmark cards. You'll find there's a Hallmark card that expresses your warmth and wishes perfectly, a card to say congratulations to a new mother or happy birthday to a relative, or just to cheer you, hello, I'm thinking of you. Yes, sending a Hallmark card is always the gracious thing to do, and the thoughtfulness it shows is remembered long afterward. So why don't you delight someone today with a card that has a Hallmark on the back, the familiar Hallmark that means you carry enough to send the very best. And now Lionel Barrymore brings you the second act of our true story of George Gershwin. We had agreed to write an original piece of music for the jazz concert at Aeolian Hall was in the papers that evening and added fresh excitement to the project. It was also commented upon in circles devoted to serious music. Oh, ridiculous, the whole thing is perfectly absurd. Who is this Gershwin, after all? Someone told me he's a song plugger from Tin Pan Alice. When he was, when he was 15. But why hold out against him? He's written some remarkably sophisticated tunes. Ah, yes, tunes. Yes, ragtime jazz. It's hardly a sound foundation for an effort to trumpet it as marking America's coming of age musically. Well, nevertheless, I've already arranged to be there. Oh, so have I. Promises to be the fiasco of all time. I wouldn't miss it for worlds. Orders for tickets poured into the Aeolian Hall box office and a week later, white man paid a visit to the Gershwin penthouse. How's it going, George? Oh, we're in the devil of a rush. Ira and I are doing Boston tonight. My new show opens there next Monday. I won't take up your time. I just want to know how we're doing. The piece you're writing. Oh, just fine. It opens with a clarinet cadenza. How are you doing? Great. Well, you see the program we worked out. The printing alone cost $1,000. Oh, sounds lush. Uh-huh. So you open with a clarinet cadenza? Uh-huh. Tell me more. Well, that's all there is so far. All there is. George, the concert's only a couple of weeks away. I know, I know. George, I have $11,000 of my own money in this. Bertie Groffet is standing by waiting to make the arrangement. I can't just hand him a clarinet cadenza. Well, you know how it is when there's a show in rehearsal. We'll be late for the train. If we don't leave right now. Oh, hello, Paul. Hello, and good-bye. Uh, did you know who's going to be there? Damroge. Hyphens. Chrysler. Padaripsky. Rachmaninov. Trust me, Paul. There'll be more than a cadenza. See you as soon as we get back. George, John McCormick will be there. Leap. Seconds after they reached their drawing room, the train to Boston got underway. With a train with a clickety-clack of its wheels and the noise of its passengers, there'd be the last place in the world conducive to the creation of music. But what's noise to some has at its very heart music for others. In a drawing room on the train to Boston. Rehearsals. A new second-neck opening. Press interviews. That's quite a schedule you're going to have in Boston. Oh, uh, what about the music for the concert? Yeah, I've been thinking about it. Well... Well, first I thought I'd make it a regulation blues, but there's so much talk about the limitations of blues and of jazz that it has to be in strict time, for example, or it must stick to dance rhythms. Well, I want to put an end to that talk once and for all. Well, so far so good. Go on. Well, in the music, I'd like to get... hold of the feel of this country. It's pep and vitality. The craziness of the nightlife on the farm, and also the melancholy, the loneliness. All those things. Yeah. I'd like to tell about our music just beginning to find its own identity. Independent. Asking nobody's pardon.  Not the gutter music they call it in Europe. Hear that, Aaron? Yeah.  Oh, no, no, wait, wait. Music is newly born. It's lusty. It's got a pair of lungs big enough to make it hurt. It doesn't know where it's going, but it's on its way. Maybe we got a pencil? Sure, sure, here. May I get you something else? Coffee? Sandwich? Oh, no, no. Talk Avenue. The concert's only 10 days away. I must talk to George. You can't. He's upstairs. He locked himself in the minute we got back, and nobody's seen him in days. We have to leave food on a tray in the hall. But I must see him. I can't go on counting on him for opening cadenza. I haven't even heard a note of it yet. Come into my room. We've got so much riding on it. I was nervous myself until this morning. What happened this morning? When I woke up, I found this on the night table next to me. It's the first 10 pages of George's manuscript. Give me. Oh, what an opening. I'm sure that's going to be the most original thing George has ever written. These piano passages are tricky. George has decided to play those himself. Great, great. Can I take it with me? I want to start having it scored. By the way, what does he call it? First one wrote the entire composition within two weeks, an incredible effort of creation. Frédéric Guffray scored it as it came from the composer page by page, and Paul Whiteman rehearsed it with his orchestra. And on the afternoon of February the 12th, the doors of the Orient Hall were opened for the concert, and the audience began to stream in. What are you doing, Paul? Counting the house? Hello, George. Hello, Aaron. Look, look, there are people out there. Oh, you're down right there. You know they're fighting for tickets to the box office? The speculate is a cleaning up. I just can't believe it. We're really about to begin. Nervous? I've never been so nervous. You know who's sitting out there? I just saw Rachmaninoff walking. Don't worry, you're going to be great.  Boy, you really are nervous. The darndest audience I've ever seen. I don't know how they're going to react. Loud, opera stars, symphony conductors, flappers, cake eaters, pluggers from Tin Pan Alley, vaudeville performers, newspapers. Paul, I feel it's going to be a success. But whether it's a success or a failure, there's one thing you can be sure of. Folks are going to know they've heard something. Excuse me, Mr. Whiteman. I don't think we dare hold the curtain any longer. They're getting feverish out there. Every seat's filled and we have standees packed in like sardines. You can raise the curtain in 30 seconds. 30 seconds, Mr. Whiteman. You ready, George? Ready. Good luck to both of you. Thanks. To the electrified attention to a brilliant performance. To the magnificent arrangement by Ferdi Gruffet, the sparkling performance of the great Whiteman Orchestra and to the making of musical history at the premiere performance of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. The first performance of the Rhapsody in Blue, a musical era was born. And today George Gershwin stands as a symbol of American music for all the world. I'll be back in a moment with a little footnote to a night story that I'm sure will surprise you. But first, Frank Glass is going to tell you how you can always be sure of making a good first impression. The other day, my wife came home from a shopping trip with a birthday gift and all the pretty wrappings to go with it. You know, Frank, she said these days it's as much fun to pick out the gift wraps as it is the gift. There's such a variety to choose from and I think the paper and ribbon you use make a nice gift even nicer. I had to agree for it occurred to me that the way a box looks on the outside is the first impression to greet the eye. A beautifully wrapped package can show your care and thoughtfulness from the moment it's given. That's why I think you'll appreciate the wonderful collection of hallmark gift wraps at a fine store where hallmark cards are sold. You'll find there are dozens of designs to delight everyone you know in colors as fresh as a flower garden. Yes, and hallmark gift wraps range from tiny patterns for small boxes to big dramatic prints for the largest gifts of all. Just be sure you select the gift wrap items with the hallmark and crown on the label. Get your assurance of quality at its finest, and it means always you'll carry enough to send the very best. And now here again is Lionel Barrymore. Well, thank you, Frank. Thank you very much. Well, they certainly do have some beautiful designs on those new hallmark gift wraps, don't they? Those fine hallmark artists really know their colors. Well, as I told you, I used to live close by, George. What a wonderful fellow he was. And how many, many melodies he had in his head. Why, do you know he was such a prolific writer he often composed a song in and out. As a matter of fact, I once knew George Grishwin to jot down four ideas for songs in one single afternoon. Let's just think of that. They were all good, too. Why, he saved every melody a little theme he ever wrote. And what a heritage of wonderful American music he left us. Why, besides the rhapsody in blue that we heard just now, let's see, there was an American in Paris and a concerto in F and that magnificent porgy in Bess Corviz. Oh, well, you could go on for hours. Yes, I remember George Grishwin well. And the whole world will remember his music. Well, Frank, what about giving our friends a preview of next week's hallmark, hall flame? Next week, we're going to honor Marcus Whitman and tell you the dramatic true story of how this frontier doctor helped save the newly opened Oregon Territory. You'll accompany him on a thrilling horseback ride across the continent from Oregon to Washington, D.C. He made this daring ride in a raging blizzard through hostile Indian country. It sounds exciting, Frank. Hope you'll all be with us next Sunday to hear Frontier Doctor, the true story of Marcus Whitman. And I'd like to invite you, too, on behalf of Hallmark Cards to the Hallmark Hall Frame on Television, which returns next Sunday starring Miss Sarah Churchill in the new hour-long dramatic series. Well, until next week then, this is Lionel Barrymore saying goodnight. Scores that have been carefully selected will give you expert and friendly service. Remember a Hallmark card to send the very best. Our producer director is William Gay. Our script tonight was written by Walter Brown Newman. George Gershwin was played by Whitfield Conner. Featured in our cast tonight were Raymond Burr, Lawrence Dubkin, Peter Leeds and Jerry Hausman. This is Frank Goss saying goodnight to you all until next week at this same time. When we present another true-to-life story of actual persons who, in their own way, have contributed to a better world than all of us who live in. Next week we honor Marcus Whitman on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. This is the CBS Radio Network. This is KMBC, Kansas City, Missouri.


I figured I should show you the video setup we've been using for the class. This consists of a number of pieces of equipment. First we have a so-called light board here in the middle. I'll get to that in a second. This is important for the pen, but it's not necessarily the critical piece of equipment when it comes to high quality recording. So in no particular order. First you're going to need lots of black drape or muslin to avoid reflections. Just a black backdrop like a meter and a half or so from the screen so that I can get a little bit of depth of field. Then we have two lights. Ouch, that's bright. So these are 200 watt modern LED lights and that's probably the minimum you should go for. You need more light than you think. So this one is the so-called key light that's operating at 100%. Here we're really outputting 200 watts and then we're using a softbox on it to, well, mostly to make the shadows a little bit softer.  As you can see exactly in this direction, right? But if I go a little bit off axis here in particular, I don't hardly get any light at all. And that's important to avoid reflections that would show up in the camera. On the second side we have a so-called fill light. This is a similar light, but I'm outputting that at what is it? 48%. So it's about half of the key light. And the idea here is really to soften up the shadows on the side of me that's not exposed to the key light. Very traditional light setup. And here too I'm using a softbox and direction egg crates. In the back here we have a weaker light. That's roughly, I think it's a 60 watt light, but I'm only running it at like 50% or so. So this is the light that's the backlight or the backdrop light. The idea here is that this one on top will light up my shoulders and my hair a bit and that really makes the lecture that you're recording stand out from the background. It makes it snap and look really sharp. So you definitely want some sort of backlight. And here too instead of a large softbox, if I were to redo this today I would probably get a smaller light that's just a big LED panel. But it's important that it's soft. Any light without a softbox or say by being at least one foot in diameter it's going to create very harsh shadows. The muslin here is mounted on a tripod set that I got from whatever procurement agency that is just a big beam up there carrying the cloth. And then I mounted the light there directly on top of that. Not necessarily beautiful, but it doesn't show up in the recordings. I don't really care. I'll get to the lightboard in a sec. The other important piece here is the recording equipment. So here I have a Blackmagix pocket cinema camera 6K. The 6K part is not important. There is a 4K version too. But these cameras use lenses that are either standard Canon EF lenses for the 6K or I think it's micro four thirds for the 4K. And we just happened to have a couple of Canon lenses. So it was easier to get that one. The complication here is setting things up to record the lightboard there and me in the front. And as you can see even here, right, there are a ton of reflections. You do not see those in the recordings. Why don't we see those in the recordings? I'll get that to that soon. The other complication here is that when I write on that lightboard, I'm going to write so that I'm right handed. I didn't switch to be left handed in all the recordings. But that means I'm writing for the opposite side. So if I'm writing on the opposite side of the screen, it's going to be back ways when seen from this side, right? The way I handle this is that I'm filming through a mirror here. But this can't be any mirror. When you use any cheap mirror here, you're going to get ghosting because if you get a weak reflection from the front surface and then an actual reflection from the backside. So this is a front surface mirror that we got from Thor Labs. It's not expensive. It's a bit over $100 or so. But then you can't get them larger than 8x8 inches. I couldn't have made it with a mirror that's one inch smaller. And then we just built our own mounting device for it with the mirror on a separate tripod.  The reason why this is black is to get rid of the reflections. So here we're using a circular polarizing filter for two reasons. The main reason is this one. I will show you that monitor screen in a second, but this monitor is absolutely crucial. Without that monitor, I won't really see what I'm doing. And in particular, when I'm using overlays or anything, there is no way for me to know what I'm pointing at. But as you can see here, that monitor is possibly the part that shows up clearest in the reflection, right? The neat thing with LCD screens is that there is already a polarizer in front of this. So that means that it's going to emit polarized light. That polarized light is then reflected. And if I now use a circular polarizer here, this means that I can cancel just the light from the LED screen so that I see the monitor, but the monitor does not show up in the recording. The price for that is that we just lost half the light. So that when you record here, that's where we need all the light here. We need tons of light so that in the end, I think I'm using roughly, what is it, ISO 640 or something, and then a f-stop of 5.9. I think it is. Yes, f-stop 5.9 and ISO 640. That's actually underexposing it a bit. I'll get to that in a second. Why? But that's even with all this light. I couldn't make do it less. And I also don't want to open the f-stop anymore because I have to open the f-stop more. I won't have a very large depth of field. And if I don't have any large depth of field, I will either have me sharp or the markings I'm writing on the light board sharp so that I need a reasonable depth of field here. Maybe 5.9 is a bit large, but I couldn't make it. I couldn't operate the lens as 1.4 or so. There are a couple of additional things we're doing. I have an external SSD connected directly to the camera here. I'll tell you why in a second. The other part that you notice that there is a black backdrop here too. The reason for that is that I have windows on the other side and if I don't castle out that light, that light is going to reflect. There is even reflections in this direction. And what I notice is that there is a lamp outside there. That lamp is going to shine into the mirror. The mirror will then reflect the light on the screen and that light ends up showing the reflection of the lamp outside in the corridor. You have no idea how many reflections there are. Do you see that I had to cover the... This is a blank part on the tripod. I had to cover that in something black too. Basically anything that is not black is going to create a reflection. So you'd need to look really, really carefully in your monitor and make sure you don't have any reflections or you're going to live to regret this. I think that's mostly it. The tripods and everything, they're cheap, so it doesn't really matter. Let's move over to the recording equipment here and show what we're doing. So the key piece here is a small recording device also from Blackmagic, just like the camera. There's an ATEM Mini. And I used the Pro ISO version. I'll tell you why shortly.  First there is a connection coming in from the camera. And then there is also a connection coming in from my laptop. So I'm presenting on my laptop as if it was an external screen. That means that I see the presenter notes and everything on my laptop. This small device has a couple of nice functionalities. One of them is that if I configure this in the computer it can create an overlay, basically the equivalent of a green screen so that anything in my presentation that's black ends up being removed and then that is superimposed on top of the output. So if you now see the output out, the screen here looks bad. If you look at the output and the monitor there do you see that my hands actually go under the protein here because again anything that's black ends up being replaced. And I have no idea why the screen here is so dirty. I'm going to need to clean it. The monitor I see because that's connected to the output from this ATEM Mini ISO Pro with HDMI. The problem with this, oh sorry there are two more things. I also connect a small SSD device here so that this ATEM Mini that records the ISO version here that will record all these streams separately. So I'm going to record the stream from my computer. I will record the stream from the camera with proper time codes. It will also record audio. So I have a separate audio link here to a wireless lapel microphone from Reddit. And this one I'm wearing. This is a special adapter to it. That means that I tape it with surgical tape to my chest or my t-shirt rather. And that means that the lapel mic doesn't show up at all. It's completely hidden under my shirt. That is also recorded separately. I can have up to four streams and two microphones in practice I only use two and one microphone. What this device also does is that it automatically creates an editable object that I can open directly in DaVinci Resolve which is really nice. But the one problem here is that it's only 1080p 2K. So how do I get 4K videos? Well the cool thing here is that the camera itself can output raw data in 6K. And that will end up on the SSD connected directly to the camera. Then I can take those files and just drag them on top of the video project that I have in DaVinci. And because they are time coded just as the output from the 80 mini ISO here I can just tell DaVinci Resolve to use video originals or camera originals. And that will mean that it will now replace the video part with the 6K resolution. So technically the laptop output is still only 1080p. I guess I could record that locally in higher resolution if I really wanted to but there is no point. So what happens here, just to show you an example. Then I use a marker. The white, the lightboard here is a bit of a special device too that I ordered from Learning Glass Europe. The white light here is actually completely pointless that they're built in version of presenter lights. It doesn't help at all compared to the much stronger lights but again it doesn't hurt either. Do you see the blue lights here? So this is a piece of roughly 10mm thick super clear glass, low iron glass that's important because otherwise it would be a bit green. The blue LEDs here they shine into the light from the side and that means that I'm going to get total internal reflection throughout this piece of glass. I won't really see the blue light here unless the dirt parts I have. But if I now write with a marker here this is a fluorescent marker. It's very important that they're fluorescent. The normal marker will work. Let me show you one. Here's a normal marker. With a normal marker it will just look like that. Not visible at all. The fluorescent marker when they're hit by this blue light they're obviously going to create fluorescent light. That fluorescent light is then reflected so that I see it into the camera and that's the whole way this works. There are a couple of different markers. I'm not really super happy with any of them. Basically you have to choose whether you get something that's really visible or something that's easy to erase. You can't both have a cake and eat it. And in practice I'm still struggling with the best way to erase this. Wet the racing with some sort of window cleaner is better but that quickly gets very ugly and dirty while you're doing the recordings and that's why I'm occasionally a bit lazy. Thank God as long as you have plenty of light the part that looks like horrible dirt on the screen here doesn't show up so much in the total video. It's barely noticeable so don't worry too much about it. And that's basically it. There are unfortunately all this equipment, in particular the ATEM Mini ISO, it appears to be a bit buggy or it could be the SSD drives or something and then you keep running out of battery and the wireless microphones and everything unless you're really careful you will end up re-recording some stuff now and then but hey, you learn as long as you live.


Providing access to water, sanitation and hygiene or wash upholds the health, dignity and well-being of communities. It is also a critical humanitarian service that saves lives during emergencies. IOM Wash has a global reach and responds to sudden and slow-onset disasters due to man-made or natural hazards which can be compounded by additional factors such as disease outbreaks. IOM supports migrants and nearby host communities in various settings including in camps and camp-like settings, transit centres and points of entry and institutions such as schools and healthcare facilities. To best serve the people of concern, we work with other humanitarian sectors and to encourage quality programming. All IOM wash interventions are guided by four strategic principles. In the first phase of an emergency, we aim to deliver immediate life-saving wash in accordance with the sphere standards, whilst simultaneously building systems that promote long-term development and sustainability. We aim to control the spread of disease and preserve the health of populations and the focus on those who are severely affected and hard to reach. We also advocate for longer-term outcomes through effective wash governance and sustained behaviour change. We ensure interventions are appropriate. Accordingly, wash programmes make use of technologies and approaches compatible with the needs, knowledge and circumstances of affected populations. Ensuring appropriate responses requires consideration of cross-cutting themes and can include, for example, cash-based interventions to invest in a local economy and empower communities. IOM wash infrastructure and services are planned to be scalable to allow upgrades or expansions to deliver durable solutions. We empower target populations to take ownership of wash programmes, promoting long-term resilience and sustainability whilst supporting the operationalisation of the humanitarian development piece Nexus. Wash requires technical expertise in water supply and treatment, hygiene promotion, excreta disposal, vector control, drainage and waste management, as well as the ability to work with affected populations to ensure their specific needs are met, environmental impacts are considered and that systems are built that support long-term development. IOM will continue to improve its wash programmes to support human health, well-being and dignity of the communities we serve.


You guys it's new foot day as you can clearly see you don't mind the dog hair This is holes in it meaning it is very overdue for everyone now the actual process of changing up this foot show is where things get Interesting you take this end of it and get down in here to pop it off. Oh, we got it guys. We got it Strong thoughts Joe. You have served me.  All right, pop the foot on So beautiful and clean Joe I'm gonna say we're not off to a very promising start here guys. Ouch. I don't know why I said out I can't feel that foot All right doing it. Is this really happening? I think I got it. Ta-da Oh my god, I am a whole new person
