This is cop Collin nor New York UK police giving new power to siege large knives proves gun control will never stop Okay, so I've said it for years if you let them ban AR-15s They'll be trying to ban handguns next and if you let them ban handguns they'll be trying to ban knives next and People always say that I'm crazy or just your mongering. No, that's true. Perfect example in the UK, but you know Crime is lower in the UK as well But it's simple deductive reasoning more people are killed with handguns and knives than AR-15 So if you're trying to ban AR-15s under the guise of saving lives What's to stop them from using the same justification to ban handguns and knives next? The answer is nothing but for those that lack such levels of deductive reasoning Allow me to direct your attention to what they are talking about in the UK right now But why is the UK taking the step to ban such items? Because knife attacks are on the rise in the country between March 2021 and March 2022 There were about 45,000 attacks using knives This lady hates everything though Like I remember I brought something way back and see this was just drilling Sharp Institute 45,000 attacks in a year 870 people were murdered in the UK during that period Knives were the murder weapon in about 40% of those killings There are serious problem in the UK and the government is now trying to curb their use. The UK government made an announcement this week They're cracking down on large knives like machetes and these so-called zombie knives The government says they're being used by violent criminals in knife attacks The move to ban machetes and zombie knives is part of a crackdown on knife crime A lot of these knives I understand zombie knives like there's no poor purpose for them But machetes, how? This is the UK. It's a lot of farming out there, ain't it? A lot of Leafage attacks are committed by miners. Miners were the culprits in about 18% of all UK knife attacks between March 2021 and March 2022 The UK government knows that these knives are on e-commerce platforms It's been talking about this problem since 2016 The government even brought a law that here to help police confiscate zombie knives But the existing rules have some more that here to help Ain't this for rock climbing this one this top one Or like, you know what I said, I don't know what I don't even know what knives are what Police confiscate zombie knives, but the existing rules have some gaping loopholes Under the 2016 law police can confiscate zombie knives in private homes if they meet three criteria They must have a cutting edge a serrated edge and Images or words that suggest it is to be used for the purpose of violence So if it gets no images or words, it's good so you can get these knives and just Scratch the words off and you straight Occasions must be met for the police to confiscate them. It's a pretty easy loophole to get around now There's two things I want you to keep in mind That's the first one being that right now shop. That's the colonel noir.com these premium embroidered hoodies are available right now I'm wearing the AR-15s are protected by the second amendment. They also come in the need money For guns and need money for Pew Pew design that I'm wearing right now in this hat And we have a bunch of others designs as well as other classic designs for our premium embroidered hoodies So pause the video real quick head over to shop. Mr. Colonel noir.com. Get you some hoodies I think I want you to keep in mind is that 1988 after a mass shooting the UK passed the firearm amendment act of 1988 which banned semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 then in 1997 after another mass shooting they passed the 1997 firearm amendment act which essentially banned the private possession of handguns in Great Britain then in 2019 they banned the possession of and I kid you not Zombie knives along with a bunch of other types of knives now being used by gangs on the streets of Britain These just some of the knives seized in raids in the West Midlands These officers are now carrying out searches like this every few weeks and so they Find knives drugs and even it's crazy that they're going through all the trouble to ban out of these things But still have very very light sentencing in the UK Like if you wanted to stop people or steer them away You do it like New York or something like you get caught with a pistol in New York is get done Say goodbye You gotta hear for a long time like in the UK you get caught It's a it's a good little sentence, but the way I've got it said uh, I mean it is what it is You got to be harsher punishment if this is the case firearms for some zombie knives are collector's items And they're widely available on the internet for as little as 10 pounds But from Thursday anyone selling making or importing the knives will face up to four years in prison 17-year-old Jay Whiston was stabbed to death at a party four years ago. His mum welcomes the ban Why would anybody want to walk around and go to the supermarket or wash their car on their drive and have Somebody come up and threaten them with a knife You know, we've got to be aware as adults and as parents and we all have to play a part in this We can't just leave it to the police. We can't just leave it to the prison service This now is our time to clean the streets as deep even these bands though, like you gotta think about it, man I'm gonna put myself in like This like the bands make them want to go with them even more things that you're not supposed to have They're very sought-after so it's not gonna stop anything It just means the bad guys all the bad guys will be equipped and the civilians will not Because civilians follow laws bad guys do not they're gonna get it regardless Decent human beings should and even after all of this They're now crying about a loophole in the zombie knife band now How is this any different than what we're trying to do right now in the United States when it comes to ar-15s? They talk about ar-15s in the US like they're talking about knives right now in the UK This feature if you have that feature then it is bad if it doesn't have this feature It's not bad, but then when we don't have that feature Oh, then it's a loophole So we now we have to add that feature so that we can ban this thing that bans that it's the same shit The only reason we're not having the same conversation about knives in the US though It's because we have this pesky little thing called the second amendment which they don't have in the UK So it makes it almost impossible for our government to unilaterally ban guns instead They have to trick the public into giving up their second amendment right by selling them the idea that they can Legislate our way to absolute safety But the only thing you can get from trying to legislate your way to absolute safety is absolute tyranny look at the UK now They went from owning any gun they wanted to barely being able to own a kitchen knife now Guess what they're likely to start doing when they close this zombie knife loophole For you know it the people in the UK will be cutting their biscuits with paper knives because plastic knives are causing global warming You can't legislate in mortality if criminals who aren't supposed to have guns are shooting people let the good people being shot at arm them Arm themselves. Yeah, y'all gonna be looking like Gotham City in a minute themselves so they can protect themselves when American allies are being shot at by other countries What do we do? Do we tell them? No, they can't have guns for themselves No, we acquit them. Oh, no, we send them billions of dollars so that they can go buy guns to protect themselves Taking away people's ability to protect themselves in hopes that it also I don't know man in the sense of like gun laws and things like that. I'm cold-blooded American when they come to that like I Listen and I live in Florida now like what I got the I got my little pipe right up with what I can't We're never shaking this I'll be at every little voters or second amendment march that they have It's arms to criminals just makes the people better victims depending on the government personal safety by giving up your two a rights Is no different than being someone's bitch in prison. Sure though Tell you that they'll protect you from everyone else But who's going to protect you from them? It amazes me every time I hear people say oh, I don't trust the government But then beg for the same government to take away their right to effectively defend themselves. This is kooky behavior Yet every year they sell you the same song and dance We need to take your guns away to keep you safe and so many people buy into this line They can't keep you safe. How can they they don't even live with it is it literally impossible? I can say they take say they do what they say and I'm talking about America right now Say they take firearms away in America all of them And I go outside as a civilian and somebody decides a bad guy That they want whatever I have in there. They're a bad guy. They have ways to get with our band They come up with me with a pole now. Who's protecting me right now at this moment Nobody and Me I just can't trust like that. I'm already I don't trust stuff. So I trust myself I trust myself to protect myself 100% No kids app You live they can barely hire enough police to keep the country running much less Yeah, I'm gonna say all fight with hands fight with hands like In America with nobody's fighting with hands So you either got to get with the times and get left On a shirt Get to you in time if you're ever attacked We live in a country where people will shout Defund the police on Monday then ban the guns on Tuesday Then they're robbed on Wednesday and then start screaming where were the police on Thursday? Only to try and buy a gun on Friday and then be mad on Saturday because they forgot they voted for Three business day waiting period before they can buy a gun Come on people The words of the greatest basketball player in the world top it Get some help. So no, this is not just gonna stop at burning AR-15s We have a real-world example of a country that started with these semi-automatic rifles Then went to the handguns and now they're trying to ban knives. This isn't me speaking theoretically It's literally happening right here in front of your face. Then then after they ban knives He's still complaining about the fact that there's a loophole So miss me with the Talk that I'm Propagandizing this whole gun discussion and I'm just making up stuff. You can watch it right across the pond Make sure you share this video with those same people who say things like Whatever y'all feel works for y'all Hey, I Put my hands up but out here It's crazy. They're not ever gonna come and try to ban the handguns or try to ban knives or anything like that Show them this video and let them know that's literally what's happening right now And then don't forget to like the video and leave a comment. Oh, whoa. Whoa. I didn't hit the merch Tell her leave a like comment subscribe turn of your post man. Let me know what you think in the comments when let's get negative


Oh, yeah, you know I gotta play this one. If you're anything like me, you love ridiculously crazy arcade beat'em ups and fighting games from the 90s, the crazier and more wildly unrealistic the better.  Do you like taking missiles to the face, only to get right back up and brush yourself off like nothing happened? Do you like fighting Sumo wrestlers and robots? Do you like bad voice acting? And do you like it all presented in a mid-90s SEGA early 3D graphical style? Hey, in fact, this game was the first beat-em-up to use texture-mapped polygonal graphics back when SEGA made it in 1996. Obviously stuff like Virtua Fighter and Tekken had been around for a while, but Die Hard Arcade isn't a fighting game, it's a full-on beat-em-up. Well, mostly. The controls here definitely have some fighting game influences, which in my opinion is definitely a good thing. There are punch, kick, and jump buttons, and part of the fun of this game is finding out what other moves you can do from different combinations of those buttons, plus a joystick or a D-pad. Like this freaking helicopter kick that comes from nowhere? That's awesome. There's grapples here, too, one of which allows you to fling someone way up into the air and hit them a couple more times on the way down. You can even put someone in a side headlock and then give them a freaking vertical suplex pile driver?  That's kind of the trouble with a game like this. It's hard to keep track of what combo or sequence does what, but that's okay. All the moves work pretty consistently, since despite the overhead angle, your character can only face left or right. So yeah, it may feel like jump should be up based on the combat, but you get used to having jump be its own button pretty quickly. Of course, as you can see, the moveset is just a small part of this game. The real meat is in the ridiculous weapons you get to use, like this anti-tank guided missile thing you can just casually walk around with, even though there's no way that this thing doesn't weigh like 70 pounds. It's always a laugh when you see an enemy walk in with one of these, too, since it looks like they're listening to some jams on a boombox.  Of course, that doesn't kill them, they just get right back up like zombies. You can also give enemies a good old-fashioned axe to the face. What is this, burn after reading? Maybe my favorite weapon in the game comes at the final boss who keeps his golf clubs in the office. I believe I'll use my putter. Four. You'll also have tons of stuff lying around that you can pick up and throw.  That'll negate their health bar and get them out of there entirely. A major thing that adds to the chaos this game presents is that it's two-player co-op. Player one is John McClane, and player two is some random woman, I guess. They both play the same. And there's no friendly fire here, thankfully, but you can throw enemies into each other, so be wary of that. I should also mention this game's structure is a bit weird. It's not what you'd expect. Rather than have one level after another, it's one room after another. You clear a screen of four or five enemies with maybe a mini boss, and the game magically cutscenes you to the next room. Occasionally, you'll get put into a quick time event where you have to press a certain button at a certain time to either dodge this fire truck or kick this guy in the face so hard he does a 360 cell that you would have seen from Paul London back in 2003. Hey, we even see the Marty Janetti-style twist cell when you give someone a clothesline. Some of these events pop up really quickly, so you've always got to be on your toes. You may have noticed through the footage here that this game has absolutely nothing to do with Die Hard. Sure, it takes place in a huge skyscraper, and sure, there's helicopters and weapons and stuff, but you occasionally fight robots, and this Shang Tsung looking guy is the villain who kidnapped the president's daughter. And yeah, it's just a generic beat-em-up plot. Hans Gruber and his flunkies are nowhere to be found. This is actually the first game in the Dynamite Dekka or Dynamite Detective series. They just slapped the Die Hard license on it when bringing it to the US because, eh, it's close enough, I guess. I'm playing the arcade version here, but this game did get a home port released in the US for Sega Saturn, as well as a remake for PlayStation 2 that stayed in Japan. This game got two sequels with Dynamite Cop or Dynamite Dekka 2 being released to the arcades a couple years later before landing on the Dreamcast and Dynamite Dekka EX, Asian Dynamite, in 2006, which stayed in arcades, but it's really just a revamped version of the second game. But yeah, whatever name you call it, whether it's Dynamite Dekka or Die Hard arcade, this game is hilarious fun right from the start.  Ah, get off of me!   I mean, they're led by this guy of all people. But yeah, Die Hard Arcade is a quick and fun 25-minute playthrough, and you'll want to check it out any way you can. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great best of your day.


Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling But today, I just want to bring you guys along with me while I clean my face and just have a little bit of Chat time with you guys I Still use the same products, but I did add in two new additional products from Eminence and I used to have the Camamill Think it was the cam calm skin Moisturizer, but I changed to the firm skin. I saw you moisturize them. I Hope you guys can see that. Let's see you guys ever didn't know Yeah, this one This smells amazing guys. Um, it's pretty much the same price. That's the other one and now this serum This is the citrus and kale potent vitamin C and E serum It's for all skin types. It says you only need a little bit, but this guy's This crap It's like a hundred and ten dollars and about honestly, I think the bottle is pretty good But you only need a little bit. So what I do is I just put a droplet in my hand and just kind of Rub it in I kind of stay away from under my eyes on this one And I still use my trusty Nutrigena, I use this one when I feel like my maybe if I woke up and I feel like I was sweating maybe Or if I had on makeup or if I don't have any anything like a Simple morning, I'll use this one, which this is I like this one now Here's the thing. This is the hydroglues gentle cleansing lotion for sensitive skin It has like like a frosty color to it Target does not have this one. I only can get this from Alta. Don't know why but I like it. I Still use my M&N Toner my trusty trusty Oh Missed things pray you guys know this one Is it gonna zoom? And then I don't even have it my contact so I can't even see me and then sometimes if I'm feeling a little bit dry I use the Camilla Glow Salad Face by Eminence Which is there? Let's see Yeah This little thing is probably a little bit bigger It's probably a little bit bigger than Like a car mix But I think this is like 75,000. It does go a long way guys, right? So Let's just make sure that we're good to go here All right, so I'm just gonna turn on my trusty Seamer and this is one by the this is the one by Vanity Planet. I love it. I just want to just I did risk my face off already, but I want to just like loosen loosen up the Skin and all that good stuff. So today I want to talk about dealing with No choosing your battles, okay Choosing your battles is something that is we have to learn how to do and whether it's with someone in your family Someone in Your job at your job or just on your everyday travel Picking the battles to fight is so important in your health you being able to just function throughout the day and Not letting things take over right? So I have my my cloth here And I got these from home because guys are awesome.  So I just went through this so anyway When you choose your battles guys you learn how to Literally Take back the power right you take back the power of Just dealing with difficult people So I'll give you an example if you work at a job Or even a family member that's just family because everybody always has issues at job But let's talk about some family right and you have Someone who is just difficult all the time right? They're just like The family member that's always with the drama the family member that's always Picking on everyone calling everybody out on stuff and they don't think there's anything wrong with them, right? Normally you would probably go back and forth with them But once you realize that this particular person is very draining This is the situation where you don't want to go back and forth with a person, right? Because what that's gonna do is ultimately make you feel like Just frustrated for the day. So in that case I would say Don't say anything just let them be them and that's it, right? Because eventually what's gonna happen if they're gonna notice that you're not entertaining them and then they'll stop, right?  So just to lose my let me turn that off And I'll put it back on in a few um So You know just choosing your battles in that Situation it's very important Let's just say you are married, right? If you're married and This is for men and women If your wife is difficult You may want to pick your battles and for the woman If your husband is difficult or just having a bad day, you know choose when you want to actually have this um It's kind of like debate with them, right? So I'm gonna say What am I gonna use today because I don't have on anything on my face. I'm gonna use my trusty Neutrogena um one And I'm just gonna use a little bit. It's very like liquidy, but I like it So in those situations you know People wake up on the wrong side of the bed and um They don't be in the mood, right?  Okay, or a bad week. No, I'm not with that So you can definitely kind of like if you notice something like that with your spouse Just kind of like You know So my my not my battery my freaking thing my card was So you choose your battles, um, you know and Like I said, it doesn't mean that you have a bad day every day But you know, sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and that's totally totally totally. Okay, right? um So that's dealing with a family member dealing with a spouse And let's say dealing with a friend because that's different too, right? dealing with a friend who Is having a bad day or a week Now should you actually Give the friend a past a past a past Should you give them a past should you allow them to Treat you a certain way or talk to you a certain way, right? Or potentially always have an attitude, right? No One thing I will say is At the end of the day, you have to always protect you your energy And how things make you feel it's not running away from it. It's just literally protecting it I don't talk about this a lot on my channel, but I'm a cancer You guys know cancers are like totally in tune with the earth's world but Once I send something is off. Hi, I'm gone Like I'm totally gone. Um, I don't want it to interrupt my spirit period And if it does I may say something about it Um, most times I will just keep it moving, right? Now if I do approach it That's just me trying to Not do what I normally do, which is Get the hell on, right? And I think that has a lot to do with like growth too, right? so When you used to having the same reaction and stuff, um You try something different, right, which leads me into dealing with somebody at your job, right?  I'm gonna add on some Of this and this is Exfoliating just a small bit. So here's the thing guys. I'm asking this. I don't want to say it's sensitive But I guess so I could only use this and mix this together Um, I can't put the exfoliating on my face directly unless I'm at the um Place the um estheticium um Because she uses organic products So I'm gonna actually put a little bit of the cream cleanser on. I'm just gonna do a double cleansing I don't know I feel like I just want to today.  Do you go back and forth with them all the time? Because that's I think that's people's initial reaction Is to do that right is to go back and forth And just prove point, right? But then you gotta realize like Should I even be fighting this battle? because I'm a firm believer of It's two things if things start to get difficult It's probably time to move just go on to just get up out of there, right? um A lot of employees think that employees are Like that's their end all um, but sometimes you gotta let them know like If if I'm not supposed to be here, I'm just not supposed to be here and then you have the situation where God is trying to tell you he's trying to give you a sign of Growth right so he makes you uncomfortable and he wants to see how you're gonna handle the situation In those cases guys, I would say Think of it like that now. I could see if something was toxic Then you must go right But now if something if it's like a little uncomfortable it's probably because you have to Adjust And grow in a certain area, right? So i'm gonna say this That's a hard one Because if you really think about it, um A lot of people it's just it's hard to be in a situation where It's uncomfortable, right? That's that's hard. That's hard because I guess because you're used to reactive In a certain way, right? Let me grab my mirror. I hope that's I'm over here Not even doing the right thing um Yeah, make sure it's all off so So when you when you think of it like that like God is trying to Help you grow Or force you to grow, right?   It's like Cutting off on me. Um, I'm gonna have to figure this out That's based on my cards. Anyway So, you know, he would do things to make you feel uncomfortable just so that he can prepare you for What he has in store for you, right? It can be an opportunity Um, are you going to be able to handle these folks these same people that you're dealing with in your family Your friends and your job with this personality You may encounter this same person With this new opportunity, are you going to be able to handle it? So, you know, he does things to like really, um Make sure that we're prepared, right? It's hard, but the reality of it is It's just How he works, right? He's going to prepare you.  I'm gonna just put on some toner Right, which is This this is I'm telling you guys.  Yeah This is so awesome And I'm just gonna spray it I just sprayed on both sides and just kind of rub it in Because I like this a lot I can't believe before I was never using a toner. You guys know I used to use good old Vaseline And now I'm going to put on some moisturizer. So like I said, this has hyaluronic acid So I don't have to use that nutrigina one, um, I can still if I want to but Because I still really love it and I just want to A little bit of The moisturizer And when I say a little bit this thing go a long way. Look at it loud enough um So you guys if you have any You can comment below if you deal with a difficult person in Your Your life like a family member a friend Or even Your job Comment below Let's talk about this because I think a lot of people What I cannot say this Like I think a lot of people want to stay away from that or they know when someone is difficult and they are pretty much like Not being nice Now for the folks that's out here being A-holes to people purposely Doing spiteful things to people uh Being shady to people, you know those things Let's do some karma Is another hubba And I feel like whatever you put out there guys I'm just gonna put this on my face. I usually put it in my hand, but I'm just gonna do it this way because I'm on camera um And just a little bit like And don't do it like this because the other day my behind um Spilled some Okay, but karma karma is oh my god Karma is one of those things And I know people don't like to use the word karma because you have good karma too But I like to say karma because It's literally both both ways right you're putting if you put out negatives or put out bad things That's what's gonna come back to you you put out um I'm gonna put some canilla oil today Camellia oil. I don't know why I was a canilla oil.  So it really depends on what you're putting out there And I believe you guys on this note Ha because I've seen this happen, man I've seen it happen. Can you guys see a little shine? And then I'm just gonna spray out a little bit of my good old mario Badoosu. I've never know how to say this thing So I'm gonna leave you guys on this I have seen people do things to people I've seen Parents do things to their kids. I've seen uh, this is Moth mothers and fathers Um, and I've seen it backfired later on um And when I mean my backfiring not meaning that the kids did something to them meaning that the kids stood their ground and kind of stayed true to who they were and Let's just say a parent needed help with something the kids still did it and that karma was for that parent to feel Like crap because of how they treated their kids maybe right Or you have that boss who doesn't have any type of real sympathy or empathy for Any of his employees right I'll give you an example you can have Women with children who are single moms, right? And then maybe you have like a male boss Who don't have kids who don't know what that life is like, right? So they don't understand when you have to take off for your kids and stuff um, I've seen that happen where a boss was just like, oh Didn't care He ended up having a kid And but he was not a nice person And I kept saying this energy that this man is putting out there is going to come back to him And here's the thing it doesn't always come back to you It doesn't it can come back to someone close in your family like your immediate family And that's what happened and I'll tell you this it was a really bad accident that happened And no one at the job cared no one cared that The situation happened and that is because He didn't care about anyone at the job, right? Or you have that friend Who low blows you right and they know that they think things that are not Nice that could potentially hurt your feelings or whatever um But then they realize why certain things happen in their lives, right? so all these things happen And people need to really realize is what you're putting out there so it ultimately involves down to what you're putting out there into the world and It boomerang in right back to you. So think of it like that guys Whatever you put out into the world. Are you okay with receiving that back And that's my question for you guys What you're putting out right now into this world your energy your attitude how you treat people all of that Would you be okay with receiving that back? Okay So that's all I wanted to do today. Just kind of just chop it up with you guys um And just kind of just walking through my my cleansing I was all over the place today, but I did like I said I did have the new products Which is the serum and the new um What she about the english and this right this smells so good.

Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today we're gonna talk about Citadel's new colors in the contrast range So let's get into it. The strict techno man sir that is Vinci V Let us get to the technique and learn it Vinci V style if you watched last week's video You know that we talked all about the new contrast shades This week we're gonna continue this exploration and we're going to talk about all about the new contrast colors Now this new range of colors is very much just an extension of the existing contrast paints So if you're familiar with them, well, then you pretty much know what you're in for as far as performance of these paints go Now recently GW brought me over and introduced all these new paints to myself as well as many other hobbyists and let us play around with them for a little while Basically, we got a full day to just put them through their paces and see what we can do. I Have to say I had a great amount of fun. So while I was there. I painted a couple miniatures So I painted this plate bearer. He was the first thing I experimented with I really wanted to try those new punchy greens Then we decided to go a little try hard with the new black and some of the other colors and paint up this legion of the Damned marine and finally at the end of the day. I made off with this This is Andy Wardle space marine that he painted. I've got him Andy He's mine now if you want him back, you can just send me any of your golden demons And I will happily put him in the mail back to you But honestly what I am excited for with these new paints is they're so much more saturated They're bright. They're intense seven of these paints are single pigment colors and boy you can feel it So let's get over to the desk. We're going to use these things on a miniature today See what we can do put them through that they're various paces and really explore how all the different ways We can put these contrast paints to her their best use. So let's do it All right So obviously all of the contrast paints used here are just the new colors So we're going to focus on what they can do. They'll scroll up at the top I thought a blight King would really be the perfect model to do this with because he has so many different textures and Reasons to use a ton of different colors. So let's just have a good time with our gross icky boy here And as usual this guy is zenithal and that's the first thing I want to say I continue to believe that the best way to use contrast paints is not over You know pure white or any of their straight rattle cans, but over a Zenithal prime ie you paint the whole thing black and then you paint it white from above This could be through airbrush. This could be through two rattle cans It could be you dry brush on the the white color. It doesn't really matter Just having some tonal variation already existing in the under shade effectively what would traditionally be called a grise We'll do a lot of work to really make these things more punchy and help them express the natural variation that they're already good at doing So to set down obviously we're just getting in some various base tones really exploring the new colors and seeing how they feel I have to say right off the rip I really really like the three tones that we've seen here thus far This brown is really nice, and I'm a fan generally of the browns Now some of these paints are single pigment. So for example this one this purple is And that means it is super intense one thing I think people aren't gonna be ready for are with things like the ball red and the purple and the orange and such Just how kick you in the teeth they are So here is my recommendation here You saw me thin this with obviously a little bit of water in the brush But also two drops of contrast medium to every one drop of paint and so between basically a brush full of water and Two drops of contrast medium. This is still one drop of this purple. Look how intense this still is right This stuff is super saturated. It is saturation in ten cities so My high recommendation to you is if you're going to use any of the single pigment colors Which is the magenta the crimson the red the orange the main yellow the purple You know D mix them with contrast medium now I thin it way way down So adding in three more brushfuls of water and you can see it's still working like an awesome glaze to add color in Here look at how that pigment is color is still collecting down in the recesses and Adding this wonderful filter to the gross skin adding more purple tones into the shadows to the wounds edging them stuff like that so even when you break these things way down once again here, this is the obviously the magenta and play here and Boy oh boy is it still again really intense. I suspect it's probably using PR 122 as its pigment I don't know that for sure because they don't release their recipes But that's what this feels like to me given its intensity and transparency and yet again. I can thin it way down. This is basically four drops of contrast medium and three brushfuls of water and I'm still getting you know this pink tone Like this on the on the thing to one drop of paint by the way And so just using it here we can splash it around and really get a lot of interesting different effects I think one of the myths that happens with these contrast paints is people think oh these are just for Simple beginner painters are there for noobs or something like that. You can't do nice work with them I think that's ridiculous. I mentioned that plague bearer at the beginning So I want to show you two different miniatures right now This plague bearer that's on the screen right now. He was done in four minutes Okay, so roughly I basically put a layer of paint on touch something else touch something else Applied the hairdryer about four minutes Now this plague bearer the one I showed you earlier. This one took about an hour and a half right? Same model wildly different effects There's absolutely no reason that you can't use these paints especially in conjunction with techniques like loaded brush To really achieve some amazing high-end effects so if these paints fit with your workflow your style then use them because Honestly, they can be a great part of so many different techniques One of the strengths of contrast paints is that once they set they set they don't reactivate and we're gonna put that to the Ultimate test now. So here we're gonna add some more depth. We're gonna get out Agrax Earthshade And we're just gonna more or less bathe the miniature Now this is the new Agrax using the contrast method. I've showed this in the last video Link up above but then I'm gonna take a bunch of contrast medium just raw contrast medium and Smooth it all over all the basically high parts of the miniature to remove all that Contrast shade I just put on from the high part and make it really only collect and flow down into the low parts When my brush goes off-camera, I'm just wiping it there So what I'm doing is I just sopped the whole thing in contrast medium and then I pull it off So that the top remains, you know colored and green and the original tone it should but it collects in all the lower parts I'm sure enough dried just fine. No issue at all Now five of the paints in the range and this is one of them. This is rattling grime Are really weak like that is to say they have much less effect And I do wish this is something they would call out a little more on the actual paints But I love these weaker contrasts They end up being quite useful when you're doing things like soft shadows and glazing So if you have troubles with those kinds of techniques things like rattling grime or whatever can be incredibly helpful Now I've seen other content creators and other people say oh, but if you make a mistake you can't back it out That's not true a little bit of bright ivory you can easily back out anything you do wrong You just touch over the area and in fact we're gonna go farther than that I'm gonna show you just how easy it is to create new highlights So here I'm gonna sketch out everything I want highlighted on that green everything I want to push up the contrast on Across his armor in just pure bright ivory from Proacryl Then using a thinned glaze of the original color. So this is just mixed two to one with contrast medium I'm just going to glaze away from the highlights, but still covering the whole surface So I still cover everything that What that I turned white, but I'm always pulling the paint away And I'm just gonna go over this entire thing with about two to three glazes Focusing especially on the edges and then I'll go back in with the full strength contrast paint on the very edge of the paint To really blend it back in and what you get is this nice beautiful soft highlight that really just pops up the miniature It's so easy Loaded brush blending. This is the longest section of the video I think a lot of people really have a challenge with this technique But it's such a powerful tool and I decided to go ahead and give him a whole new skin tone here Just to show you what this can do The trick with loaded brush is you need a relatively thick White paint on the tip of your brush or bright paint in this case again It's still bright ivory and you need an extremely high flow liquid paint down in the belly That just means the rest of the brush Guess what contrast paints are they're exactly that and so here you can just touch the tip of your brush You need a nice sharp tip into that contrast paint and as you touch the miniature That contrast paint being so high flow Floods up into that paint and slowly mixes creating this instantaneously smooth easy blend and you can see how I just repeatedly keep stretching there You know putting a new white line on and then as I go it Slowly fades into the other color and in fact every time so often you'll see me touch my thumb That's just to push a bunch of the contrast up to the top and let me smooth the edge out It makes it so easy to do these big complicated blends across something like skin tone in a lot of different ways now here I'm only going from bright to dark you can of course go the other direction as well You could have like a contrast paint and put a touch of Black paint in yours to create shadows or something like that and then smooth it into the mid-tone But the key is the contrast paint as the mid-tone ends up being perfect for this particular task and really makes your life So easy to achieve these ultra smooth blends across a whole miniature You can see this only took a few minutes and boy. Oh boy. Do we have a cool looking skin tone our blanking We can also choose to mix these directly in so here I'm just taking a standard acrylic paint again pro acrylic bright ivory and mixing it into the contrast paint now The best part is we inherit some of the transparency and flow of the contrast paint it just flows right off the brush but By adding in this brighter color we can of course create these nice nice smooth layers Very quickly and easily so you saw how I just every time I had one brush load of white And then just mixed in increasing amounts of that magenta and boom. There we go I get a nice smooth blend traveling through the layers because the contrast pulled together Lastly these new colors are really great for weathering. We finally have great weathering contrast paints So this intense brown is wonderful to turn something into a rusted mess So I really like that for getting those dark deep old rust browns on things And then this the new orange is absolutely wonderful for doing this rust sort of You know pitting and streaking and fresh rust The really nice part about it is because it shrinks into the holes on stuff like nergal. It just absolutely kicks So lots of options when it comes to weathering for these new paints My final thoughts on these are They're pretty great. They continue the line of Contrast paints. So if you liked contrast paints before and what they did you'll like them now It's not that much different. However, I do think what's notable here is these colors really are a lot more bright and intense And I think that's pretty great Oftentimes one of the challenges with previous versions of contrast and using it on miniatures Was that the miniatures ended up coming out sometimes a little dull Desaturated and just kind of boring Here with these I'm excited about not only using them as part of my workflow in painting miniatures But also really as you know through the airbrush or as glazes to restore saturation And increase the punch on the miniature and I think that's something that's pretty darn awesome In addition to all the normal ways you can use these paints to get things, you know, your army on the table fast So I hope this was helpful for you If it was give it a like subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future Don't forget.

to the Private Property Farming Podcast. My name is Zimbabwe Nwako, your host, as always, every Tuesdays and Thursdays right here on the Farming Podcast, brought to you by Private Property. I know you're watching this through YouTube, so please subscribe to our channel. You can catch all the videos that we've recorded over the past two years or so on the Farming Podcast playlist under the Private Property Channel. And so please feel free to comment, like, share, subscribe, give your suggestions of what you would like to see right here on the Farming Podcast. As always, we're here to entertain, educate, and inform you around farming and the industry at large, which is agriculture. And we bring to you farmers, entrepreneurs, stakeholders, agribusinesses, everybody across the value chain to discuss a specific topic around the industry of farming and agriculture. Today, as always, I'm happy to interview females on the podcast because, like I say, you know, people keep saying that we don't get enough females. Where are they? Where are they? But I think what the channel is doing is definitely exposing the females that are in farming. And so today we're joined by Homozo Ramatro. And she is from PKR Farming. She's a farmer based in the Eastrend in Brakban, to be specific. And the topic for today is, should I quit my job to start farming? That's an interesting one, especially in today's economic climate.  And so let's hear from Homozo in terms of does she advocate people quitting a job to start farming? And maybe share her experience around her farming journey, because I know she was a corporate person. And now she's obviously moved to working in the fields in the farm. And so, yeah, if you have any questions for Homozo, please feel free to comment. But let's get right into the show and welcome her to the podcast. Homozo, thank you so much for joining. How are you doing today and how's the farm looking like? Thank you for having me in Bali. I'm good. The farm is okay. It's a little bit quiet because it's winter, but the farm is still running. Okay, perfect. So what on the street is that, you know, you went into farming simply because you used to reminisce your grandmother growing fresh vegetables or produce. Is that true? Yes or no? And why did it take you so long to start farming? I was raised by my grandmother. And we, we didn't really have a lot. So what happened was we, she would grow vegetables to actually sustain the household when my mom was away working in the city. So being a loner, I've always been a loner. So I spent most of my time with her and that, that sort of made me fall in love with farming. That is how the whole relationship with farming and my grandmother began. But more than anything else, it was, when I lost my job, it was, it was, it was really an emotional time. And the decision had to go and come from a very emotional place. And which only made sense that my grandmother was an integral part of me making that decision. Yeah. And so tell me, before you started farming, what were you doing? And then do you have any agricultural experience? Where did you also get the training, if not? Before I started farming, I had been with a financial institution for 15 years. So I had, I had been the, the, the banking girl for 15 years. And one day you woke up, the company was going under a restructure and some of us had to be let go. But the nice thing that happened with, with my ex employer was they gave us opportunities to upscale. So when the decision was finally made for me to go into farming, I was then offered an opportunity to go and upscale where the company would pay for it. With my research, the nearest place that I could find to go and do this was Buche Farming Academy. It's in Delmas. So I went and I did my vegetable production training with them for a good three and a half months. That is where I got my training for farming. Yeah. And so transitioning from a bank or banking environment for 15 years, that's quite a long time to farming. How was that transition like? Because I know I also found difficulties as well. Coming from corporate, going into farming, you're dealing with different people in terms of education level experience, you know, especially when you come from used, where you come from an environment, where you're working on your laptop, you're sending emails, you're sitting in air conditions offices, you're sending proposals, et cetera. So how is that transition from the banking environment or corporate sector into farming? What are some of the difficulties or just experiences that you've learned that has made you to become the farmer that you are today? I think one of the key things that I will always say is coming from the corporate environment before the difficulties was an advantage. Because you come from an environment where in where you had been working previously, you were running a department, you were responsible for that department being profitable and all that. So it was very easy for me to take the recent learnings and apply them in my farming environment. So that was the biggest advantage having come from that environment where you had been problem solving, dealing with customer service and all those things. It became easy for me to take those learnings and apply them into my farming journey. And that was the advantage. But the disadvantages were a lot. I think more than anything else, the first one that would come to anybody's mind is as a woman, how were you received? So being second guest by everybody from your employees right up to your customers, where people take chances because you're a woman, the assumption is you don't know anything about farming. So people can walk over you and treat you the way that they feel that they needed to treat you or purely because they felt that you didn't belong in there. So it's either you didn't know much or you don't belong there. The second one, which was also very strenuous for me, I'm finding a way to navigate at the moment is to wear multiple hats. So you come from an environment where you had all these stakeholders and resources that were made available to you for you to be successful.  So you don't have HR. You are HR on your own. You don't have marketing. You don't have the logistics team.  So that is the most difficult thing that you have to do because one way or the other, you will have to wear these hats and you are on your own when it comes to wearing these hats unless you then outsource, which is very expensive. Yeah. And just over and above just the corporate world going into farming, right? How is also the transition from being an employee to an employer? Where do I start? So having to have somebody's heat for you to dip into, to pay yourself and pay people, now all of a sudden is you are the mother ship. Everybody is looking at you for their household livelihood. So everything fell upon you. I have the most pressure at every day of my life because I know that if I don't make one, two, three, four, five, I've got 10, 15 people that are looking at me to say, but we didn't eat this week. We didn't pay rent this week. So that was the hardest to now not be the only person that is important in your life. But now you've got all these other people and their families that have become part of your responsibilities. That was the hardest. Yeah. And tell us a bit more about PKR farming. So I know that there's a farming element and then now there's farming and services. So firstly, what is it that you're farming and what are the other services that you're offering? So at the moment, we're doing vegetable production. So it's just purely farming, but in the long, in the long run, the idea was to take what we were, we are farming to actually actual process. So what we do at the moment is we do different kinds of vegetables. We are doing spinach. We are doing spring onions. The big one that we are doing is chilies. So we've gone into doing different varieties of chilies, which is what is supposed to be the identity of PKR farming going forward to be a purely hot pepper farm. That's fantastic. And why specifically chilies? Is there any reason? There is reasons. So I'm operating on a five hectare farm. So there is relatively, well, not big compared to what a normal farm would be tamed, which is anything above eight and a half hectares. So the use of a small space to maximize profit is very important for me. I have done all the other stuff. I have done the cabbages. I have done the fruits. I have done everything else. But when I had to go back and compare the returns on chilies and all these other crops, I found that chilies was actually the most profitable. And also the idea that you are able to multiple harvest from just one crop, if you take care of it, we will actually influence that decision. So when we had a hail storm the last time, when everything else recovered and recovered, but still had a lot of issues with diseases, chilies recovered and it still stayed firm and produced actually more than what we had expected it to actually produce. So that was a very easy decision to actually say, this is the way that we should then focus and continue. Yeah. Homo, I know you said that you were retrenched from a former employer and then you went straight into farming. And there are a lot of people right now experiencing financial difficulties in their personal income, in their personal capacities, whether maybe they've been retrenched at work or their salaries have been cut down in half, et cetera, et cetera. And also there's two ways, right? People go into entrepreneurship because they're forced to in the sense that you're retrenched, now you have to find alternatives or they go into entrepreneurship because it's been their long-term passion and they want to pursue something meaningful for them. So now would you advocate people to quit their jobs to start farming or would for those that also want to tap into the agri-space, maybe they'd have land at home, et cetera, what would you advise? Should they quit to start farming or should they juggle both during the weekends or maybe should they stick to their day job because everybody it seems like just wants to become a farmer? Everybody wants to be a farmer and I think most of us we are to blame for that because we share what we do and people think that it's easy because we only share only the good stuff. But when it comes to the decision of having to leave your employee to pursue farming, if it is really, really something that you really passionate about because the one thing that I will be honest about is it is hard work. It is difficult like any other business, it is going to break you. There will be a lot of wins and losses so you need to be steadfast and be sure that there is really, really what you want to do. And I think one thing that I would really advise a lot of people to do which I didn't have an opportunity to do is do your homework before you actually leave. So before you actually have that exit, just have a proper exit plan. For example, if you're going to buy land, make sure that the land is bought before you leave because the minute you leave then you become not credit worthy. So you cannot purchase anything because there's no salary coming in. So things like purchasing land must be done beforehand. The other thing is you need to know where you're going to do all this to be able to do your planning properly because you can't just leave and then suddenly say I'm going to look for land to start farming. All these things need to happen whilst you are still in your employ. So it needs to be part of your exit plan. Your exit plan needs to be very solid. Also one of the decisions that you really need to make is are you going to build a farm from scratch or are you going to buy an existing farm? Because I can tell you building a farm from scratch is really expensive. Buying a farm that's already set up might be a little bit costly but it's going to save you a lot of headaches. But also if you're really buying land and setting up your own farm, I think that's my favorite thing to do personally because it allowed me to build what I want. My vision, I saw my vision coming through to life and that was the key thing for me. And also the other thing is maybe don't do this out of desperation.  But I had been at a place where I felt that it was it was long overdue. After 15 years and this one opportunity presents itself to pursue something that you've always wanted to do. I was not going to let that go. That is exactly what happened to me. But the idea of leaving a job and wanting to go into farming, don't go into it because it's fashionable. Go into it because it's something that is really personal to you and it's something that you know for a fact that you can do. Because one day you will be the field to work at. One day you will be the driver because the driver didn't pitch at work. Are those the kind of things that you are going to be able to handle or you want to have just a business of farming? So that's how I would actually just go about it. Yeah, what has kept you going through the difficult times? I have every good support system. My mom went into a panic when I told her that I was starting my farm business. She didn't really understand why my daughter of all things would actually go into this. But over time she's been converted and she's my biggest support system. My partner is always, he's always had my back as well. So that's one person when I feel that the world is falling apart. I always go in and cry. Yes, we do cry a lot. I have my friends that are in the industry that act as mentors and friends. I always normally just call it a time out and I drive and I go to my friends farm. I think we both know the same person, Eric.  But above anything else is I had made a really conscious decision that this is what I am going to do and this is what I'm going to be successful at. Even though it gets tough, that one vision that I have in my mind about where the farm is supposed to be is the thing that keeps me going. I know that it's not supposed to be easy. It's supposed to be hard. But more than anything else, I love what I do. I enjoy what I do. I don't think I would wake up and do anything else at this point in time. So that's one of the reasons why I get out of bed every day and still do what I do. Yeah. I think what you're saying is something that we don't often look or touch on, you know, the support structures that farmers have just outside of production.  You've got people. You've got employees that you need to think of. And so we never really give gratitude to the individuals that support us from an emotional perspective. And so, Chomo, tell us about what's next for PKI our farming in the next three to five years. And yeah, just where are you looking to grow? So as I mentioned, I'm transitioning the farm from being what people would call all type of vegetable stock. I'm transitioning from that. I wanted to be purely a hot pepper farm. So what I'm trying to get to is to be where we are doing 80 percent hot peppers and maybe 20 percent of the other crops that we are still doing as our cash crops. One thing that we did that was very important for me at the moment is we had never been able to grow hot peppers in winter. But we actually have managed to overwinter our jalapeños. So we still have jalapeños in the field. We still harvesting, they still producing and all that. So it was very important for me to be able to see that process through. Because when I go into the full-time production of hot peppers, I want to be able to have them in summer and also in winter. But that comes with a cost. Because the ones that have survived are the ones that are undercover in the tunnels. So that means that I have to invest in more tunnels. So for me, it's just seeing through the process of transitioning at the farm to be known as a one-stop farm for your hot pepper purchases or supply. And when that has been said and done, obviously then acquire more land where the business grows and we are able to venture into something else.  I know there are in demand as much as sweet peppers are. And I'm super excited to be speaking to a farmer that, you know, has obviously walked the journey, but also is able to think from a more long-term strategic view. And I advocate being known for a single crop. Because that's how you get your brand name out to the market, much better and much faster. You will be known for hot peppers. And I'm just talking purely from experience there. But thank you so much, Chomozo, for your time and for just sharing your journey with us here on the podcast. Thank you so much for having me, Berlina. Thank you. It's a pleasure. If you just catch last while, sorry for you. You've just missed the conversation with Chomozo. But good news is that this episode is on the YouTube channel. And so you could play back right to the beginning and get to understand who Chomozo Ramatloh is and her farming operations, which is situated all the way in Brakban. She left a corporate career for about 15 years, was retrenched and started farming, and she is thoroughly enjoying it. And she did say that she does not see herself doing anything else. And I think some of the important points that I took from our conversation today is that, yes, even though you're thinking of quitting your job to start farming, you need to know the why. Right? Why do you want to quit your job to start farming? Is farming your passion? Is farming an opportunity that you're seeing right now in the market that you could create a legacy for your family? You just need to know your why. Why should I quit my job? Is this going to serve me? And most importantly, have a team of people and individuals around you that could hold your hand when times are tough. And even when they're good, have people to celebrate as well with you, with all the milestones and successes that you have achieved. Because farming is difficult. And I think every single farmer that comes onto the podcast definitely hints that to say, yes, things might look rosy on the outside, but internally on the ground, on the farm, there's so many obstacles that we have to deal with. Because farmers at the end of the day are business people. And running a business is not for the faint-hearted. I really hope that you will enjoy this episode if you're just going to watch it right now. But for those of you that have been watching, please comment and share this video with as many people as possible, because we want to spread the word of agriculture. And like I say every show, if there's any suggestions that you want to have, that you have of guests that you want us to bring onto the show, and topics that you want us to explore in much detail, please feel free to bring those suggestions forward to us. Well, that's it for me. I will see you on the next episode of the Private Property Farming Podcast. Take care. We're over. Thank you, bud. Thank you. I spoke to him when was it on Tuesday, I think, we were talking about orderings of seeds, because I'm already just trying to get the summer crunching going. So yeah, we were chit chatting around those. But yeah. Recording stopped. Why am I giving you heavy pie?
