Hello everybody. My name is Mark Finkel and I work for Mozilla Corporation and I'm here today to talk to a little bit about a project we have called Prism and how that builds on top of Firefox and Firefox 3 and all of its good features and how that all relates to web apps and web applications and how they can evolve. So just a little bit of background about Mozilla. Mozilla is of course an open source project with lots of contributors and the foremost or the best known product that they have or projects is Firefox but they also contribute or have Thunderbird and Zoo Runner and a couple other browsers, SeaMonkey and Kamino and other applications that fall under the Mozilla umbrella. It's a global effort to help promote choice on the net and to keep choice available on the net instead of kind of locking it up, having certain vendors take control of different areas so we like to try to promote choice whenever we can and in doing so be a user advocate for things that happen on the web whether it's privacy or security or features or whatever it would happen to be. We try to stick our nose into it and keep things as fair and open as possible. Besides being an open source project ourselves we also work and contribute to a lot of other open source projects and this is just a small list. There's many, many more I found while making this a presentation that we actually contribute to and work with. Some of these are projects that we actually use in our source code like Cairo and SQLite. Other ones are just open source projects on the net that we feel compelled to contribute to either financially or with code or resources. Since Firefox is the main Mozilla project and product it's the project that really shows some of the strength of the community that is around Mozilla. These are some of the numbers that we like to show to help give people an idea of how big the project is and how many contributors and how big the community and how strong the community is. As you can see our market share is going up. A lot of it is due to the community and support through community and word of mouth and marketing. The community contributed extensions. Firefox is really extendable. Lots of people use add-ons and most of the add-ons, well all of the add-ons are contributed and built by community members. Our languages, we have great community volunteer-based translators and without them we couldn't ship in the amount of languages that we do. In Firefox 3 ships it's going to have 47, 50 languages. I forget what the number is but it's pretty high to ship same day, sim ship. The corporation itself only has, when you compare it, it only has 150 employees roughly. Sorry about that. It feels weird on my head. But those 150 employees really couldn't do all of the work all themselves. It really takes the rest of the community to help us and their efforts and their amount of work and blood and sweat and tears into the project really is what made it as strong as it is. Moving on to what Prism is. Prism is a single purpose web browser. It's not generic although I'll just stick with what it is for now. It basically acts as a host for desktop enabling web applications. A web application sometimes can look and feel and act a lot like a regular desktop application but it's running inside a browser so there are certain things that browser applications just don't have access to. So one of the ideas for Prism was to what we call desktop enable it allowing it to access resources and do activities and have features that normal browser-based applications maybe wouldn't have access to or at least explore those possibilities. It's built on top of Firefox's Gecko engine so it benefits from anything that gets put into the Firefox platform. It's basically running Firefox 3's rendering engine under the covers. And it is an experiment in new browser directions. It's not a full scale project of this is how we're going to do things. It's really an experiment. It's really to open up the discussion about how some of these new features that have always been available to desktop applications could be exposed in a safe way to web applications. The web shouldn't stand still and it hasn't been. There's been a lot of Canvas and SVG and the what working group has been doing a lot to add new web application specific features to the web so this is another experiment to help drive the discussion on how some of these things can be put into the web itself and then web apps can benefit from that. Prism is not a general purpose web browser. It may never have tabs. It has a location bar optionally but it's not one that you can type into. It's just there for reference to show you where you're at. If you want a general purpose web browser there are plenty of them out there to pick from. Prism is designed to be something as different as we can make against a general purpose web browser to help actually bring out what we would consider to be desktop enabling features without kind of blurring the line between what a traditional web browser is and what a desktop enabling web browser or a web app web browser would be. So it's not designed to be a general purpose one. It also does not, tries not to and should not work with or have a proprietary stack of technology. It should be the web. In fact if you want to make a web application run in prism you don't do anything. You just run it. It's the same thing you would do if it was in Firefox or Safari or Internet Explorer. There's basically no porting necessary. You just make it work. And from that starting point then we would look at what things can we add to the web itself that would allow applications to participate in desktop convenience features. And we'll talk about those later here. It's not a full privilege run time. It's not designed to give this application running inside prism full access to your hard drive and your computer. It's not. It's the web. Again it's a web browser. It's not designed to be something that you can write directly to the hard drive from. It's not designed to give you access to things that a normal web browser wouldn't give you access to because we still care about that safety and security that goes on. The sandbox that a normal web browser has. So any features that prism would try to add into the platform as the web platform would have to be done still carrying about the security and the sandbox that a browser has and uses whenever you run a web application. I talk about desktop enabling web apps and I should talk a little bit about what that means. Just about every OS has their own convenience or nuances and little UI tweaks whether it's the dock on the Mac or the sys tray on Windows. And Linux has the menuing area and as well as there's an icon tray there as well. Plus there's notifications like growl or pop up toast on Windows and Linux has the same kind of thing that web applications typically don't get access to. So part of the prism experiment is to try to figure out how we can move those kind of features that are accessible to all desktop applications into the web app world as well. Another thing is we try to fit web apps into the way people and users only think about desktop applications. When you start a desktop application you don't start up a browser and type something in the URL or click a bookmark. You pick something off of a start menu, an icon off your desktop, something on your dock and so we want web apps to try to fit that same kind of model because it's what people are used to doing with applications. And in doing so we also want the web application to be able to interact with local data the same way that desktop applications can do it. I can drag and drop files onto application from in Windows and I drag and drop a file onto Word it loads. I can double click on an Excel file on Windows or any other and there's a MIME type linkage so that an application will load up and load that document into it. These are things we want to explore for web applications as well because web apps have that capability now as well. I mean we've seen Zoho or Google Docs and spreadsheets. These things can take files, traditional desktop files, load them up and allow people to operate on them and then save them the same way. So kind of a rundown of this whole prism site specific browser term was used a little bit. When I first started looking at this stuff there was a lot of existing people and projects who were doing this kind of stuff. There was a couple of Zoolerunner projects. Zoolerunner is the runtime for Mozilla's platform. It's very easy to create a browser with Zoolerunner. Webkit, there were a lot of Webkit wrappers out there too. What these projects would do is they would find an application, maybe it was one of 37 signals, backpack or something like that and they would create a Webkit wrapper that was designed to work with that Web app. Not any other Web app just with that one. So that you go ahead and double click on an icon. It would start up basically a shell that had Webkit running in it or Zoolerunner running in it and it would under the covers go and download and start the application running inside it. It would even have special features like you could drag files and drop on this application and it would automatically upload. So it was a very nice experience themselves but they were a little narrow in their vision of the applications that they wanted to support. And usually it was because whoever started the project was interested in this particular Web application and just wanted to make it work a little easier and didn't want to have it run in a browser, wanted to have it run in its own standalone isolated area. About the time I picked up Webrunner and started to play around with it, Webrunner was the precursor to Prism. It was just a project that I was kicking around a little bit. There was also a project called Bubbles which is a Windows version that runs with Internet Explorer and ActiveX control embedded into host application. And then there's also a new one for OSX on Leopard called Fluid. And Prism, Bubbles and Fluid went a different direction. Those three applications decided that they'd create weak APIs so that anybody could say I'd like to run Gmail inside Fluid or Prism or Bubbles or I'd like to run Zoho or Zimbra or whatever it happened to be. And the host shell, the Fluid shell or the Prism shell would just adapt itself and make itself work. It would automatically know what the Web application was. It would be designed to have a shortcut made that would remember some of the configuration settings, whether or not you wanted to have the location bar appear or whether or not you wanted icons, what the icon you wanted to associate with it, whether it was the Fave icon or one that you picked yourself. So these three applications sort of started a new direction where it was generic site specific browser that could be configured to work off of any kind of Web application. Also through Adobe Air in there as well because Adobe likes to say that their Air platform is a great way to basically create a desktop application out of a Web application. And that's true. But you need to port your Web application. You can't actually just start running the Web application inside and have it make use of all of the features that Adobe injects into Air to allow it to take, you know, use the local file system and things like that. And once you port that application, it's broken for the Web. You need to have two versions because that application won't run anymore on the Web because it's using APIs that are Air only. Even though Air uses WebKit inside it as a rendering engine, Adobe injects some of its own APIs for file handling and SQL management and other kinds of things that really taint the application so that it can't really be just moved back and forth between desktop and Web. So some of the basic ideas behind why I got interested in WebRunner and then Prism is I wanted to be able to run Web apps in separate processes. I didn't want to worry about my browser going down for whatever reason. I work at Mozilla. I run alpha builds. I run beta builds. Sometimes that happens. I'd like my email to be running constantly and not have to worry about crashes and things like that. Also, this is an application I'd like to run constantly if possible. So, you know, if it starts using up tons of memory and things like that, I'd like to be able to close it down and not have to worry about what my browser's doing. I also wanted to look at using a minimal UI. That's one of the differences between a site-specific browser and a general Web browser. A site-specific browser for Gmail doesn't need bookmarking. It doesn't need a lot of the accoutrements that go along with a general-purpose Web browser. So we went almost completely zero UI with Prism and just allowed it to do whatever the Web app did. That's one of the areas where we're experimenting because we might want to look at allowing the Web app to say, well, I've got this dynamic HTML menu here. What I'd really like to do is hide that and make a native OS version of the menu instead. So how could we do, how could we explore those kind of things? I wanted some simple and easy desktop integration. I wanted to be able to create shortcuts and dock icons. I wanted to be able to pick my icon, double-click on things and make it work. I wanted to be able to drop files on stuff and have mail attachments get automatically made and that kind of stuff. But whenever I clicked on links, I still wanted it to go to my main browser. So that if I'm in Gmail and someone sends me a cool link and I click on it, I don't want to open up another Prism window. I really want to open up Firefox, my default browser in that case. I also wanted to make sure that we left the platform open for some customization. One of the things that we see with web apps a lot is grease monkey scripts and similar. So I wanted that same kind of ability for end users to tweak the way the web app works. So those kind of ideas are in there too. Some of the possible features that you could throw at a desktop-enabled web app would, in my case, I wanted to build on a solid framework and I could easily do that with Firefox. I wanted to launch and run an isolation. I've already mentioned that one. Specialized icons and support for different ways of launching those icons. The pop-up toaster alerts, I mean, that was, you know, or growl notifications, that was something that I thought would be very beneficial to web applications. I run Firefox or any multi-tabbed browser.  So some other kind of way for it to notify me like it was a desktop calendar application would be kind of cool. Same thing is true with doc and tray support. Both desktop email applications. If you run them on a Mac or something, there's, and you're running it, the icons on the doc, it will have a little number there for the number of unread email messages. Web apps really can't do that. So exposing some kind of a way for web apps to also badge the doc icon, whether it's on Mac or Windows, that would be kind of interesting to do. OS dependent styling. This is a little bit different. This kind of goes into grease monkey for CSS. There's an extension called Firefox called Stylish, and there's a whole website of styles that you can apply to other web applications in the same way that you would take a grease monkey script and apply it to a web application. And some of the more interesting ones of these are some cascading style sheets that take Google Reader or Gmail and make it look like an OS X application. And it looks really good for an OS X application. So I saw some of that stuff and thought that would be interesting for a web app, someone who's creating a web app that you want to desktop enable, maybe you'd like to make it look like the OS that you're running on. Which means that if you've got Mac, Windows, and Linux, you've potentially got, you've got at least three, more with the sub variants that are below each operating system as well. I also wanted to be able to do local drag and drop for file handling. Kind of talked about that one before where I either double click on a file and it opens up in Google Docs and spreadsheets or I drag a file and drop it on Gmail or Zimbra and it automatically attaches it to my email so that I don't need to hunt for it with a file browser. So it's a lot of interesting kind of features but at the same time I don't want to hurt the web. I don't want to just start throwing all these features into prism in a way that makes it so that no other web browser can make this work. It would cause errors. If Zimbra decided to make a prism version that it wouldn't run on anything else. So we want to make sure that we're pushing the idea of these different features and throwing it out there for other people to talk about and figure out maybe the best way to implement these so that who knows, maybe a web browser wants to also handle badging somehow. Or it would be very easy for a web browser to do growl alerts from a web application. That wouldn't be hard at all. So with anything that we're doing here with prism we want to make sure that it's in line as if it was something that was truly for the web even though we're desktop enabling everything. So we talked about how we're building on Firefox 3 at this point and one of the reasons that we really think that Firefox 3 in particular is a really good base for a lot of the prism stuff is in Firefox 2 it has a lot of good support for web applications and it keeps getting better so that whenever we talk about online offline that was something that had started before prism or fluid that started in the browsers themselves as an idea that maybe we should allow applications to go online and offline and Firefox 3 supports that. It supports new DOM methods as well to make web applications run faster and that can't hurt because remember you're trying to compete with desktop applications here. Some of the JSON support a lot of web apps use JSON and Firefox 3 has native JSON support in it so that it's actually handling everything and C++ under the covers. It can be up to ten times faster than handling it through JavaScript alone. There's a lot of new interesting JavaScript 1.8 features that benefit web applications. The SVG support in Firefox 3 is tons and tons better than it's ever been and it really starts to show off the ability to use SVG for graphics. One of the things I like to do with Google Spreadsheets is do the plotting in there or take an Excel spreadsheet and import it in because when you do that docs and spreadsheets will actually convert the chart into SVG charts so it's kind of cool to see what the capabilities are there. Firefox 3 itself has been, there's been a lot of work on performance and memory. There's two big areas under the covers that obviously we care a lot about in effect how web applications and the web in general runs in Firefox. There's a long list here of different things that are done. We've gotten hit a lot with memory in Firefox 2. A lot of people criticizing our use of memory so that was one of the areas that we focused on a lot and we're still focusing on it. In Firefox 3, there's a much better performance running long term which is what you want to do with a web application that you're desktop enabling. I want my mail to be running constantly 24 hours a day so if the memory starts creeping up and ends up with a gig of memory dedicated to my poor little email application here, that's not very good. Firefox 3 performance and memory are really, really much better and you guys should all check it out. Also, some other cool stuff that are coming in that will help web applications. Tamron and JS2. Tamron is a project that we're working on that will really speed up JavaScript the way it runs. There's Tamron tracing and then there's Tamron, just the JIT that will make the byte code go a lot faster and working on this with Adobe and there's a lot of cool stuff going into JS2 as a language. There's an experiment going on now with 3D Canvas. That runs today in Prism. It's an extension to Firefox and of course there's audio and video support that's waiting in the wings. WebKit supports it now and Firefox has a patch on a separate branch build that also has it running. We're just kind of waiting for things to be right for us to land it. All right, so take a look at some of the features and maybe even throw out ideas that you guys can say are good or bad or you have different ideas on how maybe we could do some of this stuff. Specifying icons for shortcuts. Seems relatively simple. Apple has already done something different than the norm with the iPhone, iPod Touch. You can create these link rails in your web page that specify an icon that can be used whenever you create a web clip on your iPhone. Also recently there was one of the guys that works at Google with the Gears project throughout a wrapper library that would allow you to create shortcuts for icons of varying sizes. Obviously 32 by 32 might work well on Windows but it might not work well on Mac or Linux. So his specification has multiple sizes and formats available. Specifying CSS for OS styling, that's where you make Gmail look like an OS X application using CSS. That one too seems like it could be solved relatively simply and not break the web by using specific style sheet links that maybe specify different media. If that breaks it we could use a title attribute instead or something like that. Something that wouldn't show up when the main browser because it would be ignored but something that could be picked up by a desktop enabling a desktop browser like Prism. Pushing data to the browser Chrome. This one is the concept of badging. We don't really like the idea of creating a feature on the web that would be specifically for badging. That's too specific of a purpose. So we're really looking at how can we allow a web app to broadcast information about its current state and then let the browser, whether it's Prism or Firefox or Safari, figure out what they want to do with it. If anything, they could do nothing with it. So in this particular example, Prism might put a dock badge of 10 unread emails where Firefox might do something with the tab that the web application is sitting in. So we don't want to make it too specific to the use here. Supporting pop-up alerts. Again, we don't want to be too specific about what we want to do here, although pop-up alerts is at least a little bit saner. The focus is a little bit narrower on what you can actually do with it. We already do have an alert function although I already got some feedback saying maybe alert is overused and maybe it should be show notification instead of pop-up alert because that could be confusing with the regular alert function. And register local file handlers. There's a relatively new feature going into Firefox 3 to allow, and this is based on a what working group standard or document specification, that will allow websites, web applications to register as online protocol handlers so that if you visit Zimbra and they have some JavaScript on their page that says I'd like to register as they mail to a protocol handler and that pops up something in your browser Chrome and you say sure, we'll go ahead and let Zimbra do that. The next time you're in your browser and you click on a mail to link, it will bring up Zimbra instead because there's a URL that they register whenever they register with the mail to handler so that now whenever you click on any mail to links, it'll be using that web app instead. So we might be able to take that same idea and move it to local to make it work for local files as well. Where in this case I'm registering for Microsoft Excel, the MIME type for Excel and I pass in a URL for where I want that file uploaded and then the web application can take over from there. That doesn't look very good. I don't have Wi-Fi here to refresh it, but so sorry about that. But there's some links here where you guys can take a look at some of the things that the starting point for what Prism is and does and downloading Prism if you want to. There's also a link here for what's new in Firefox 3 for web developers and also a link to Planet Mozilla where you can kind of use your RSS feed reader to keep an eye on what is coming out and what's happening with either one of these two projects. At this point, if anyone has any questions or ideas or anything like that, I'd like to talk about it. Up there, you were first. I can hear you. Not yet. That's something that Mozilla keeps reminding me of. The first what we're doing right now is sort of throwing out ideas to begin with and I am talking to the guy who does Fluid just to kind of get an idea for what he's doing. He just released a version of Fluid that has a JavaScript API. I'm going to talk to him and see if I can get him on board so that we can then brainstorm a little bit to get something together that we can then go and create something that would stand up to enough criticism that ECMA or what working group or anything like that would do. Someone else? You're kind of asking about it was WebRunner and now it's Prism. Is anything going to continue to happen with Prism? Yes, things will continue to happen with Prism. When it was WebRunner it was just something I was doing in my spare time that Mozilla really, they were okay with me working on it but it wasn't something that they were particularly interested in at the time. So when it became a labs project it was something that we wanted to create an experiment, a vehicle for us to experiment with. So yes, we will be looking at it. People like Zimbra are also looking at it. They've kind of taken the code and packaged it up to be their offline desktop solution to work with there. Their desktop solution has a server and a database also running locally. So with Prism they also have a web browser so it's kind of a turnkey system that they can install. But yeah, we'll be moving it forward. That's the way Prism works. Prism 0.8 works. Prism 0.9, each web application is in its own isolated profile and process. For instance, on Linux or Windows if you were to run six Prism web apps, all different ones, if you would look in the task process list there'd only be one version of Prism running. And the current version that we'll be releasing soon there'll be six separate versions and they also use six separate data profiles as well. Anybody else? Yeah, that's a good idea. In the same way that there's a, I mean, you could do on window close right now even in a browser to try to do that and some web applications do that where they pop up the thing saying if you haven't saved anything you're browsing away from us so if you haven't saved anything you're going to lose it are you sure you want to do this? For the, whenever you close I'm not sure if web apps can still keep the browser from closing or not but we can, in Prism, yes, you can add something to at least notify and keep it from closing if you wanted to. That's just the difference between the Chrome where Prism is Chrome that supports to emulate a desktop application that's something that typically happens in desktop applications. You go to close it, you have unsafe changes, a dialogue comes up that says do you want to save, do you want to cancel closing or do you want to keep closing? So yeah, that's something we could do. It's a good idea. I figured right now if you open a, click on a link to open a new window and that link has the same base domain as the link of the web application it opens in a new Prism window. So if you're creating, if you're in an email application and you double click or you say pop out to get the email in its own separate window it won't open up in your browser it'll open up in a separate Prism window if you're in docs and spreadsheets you'd like to create a new spreadsheet it opens in a new Prism window not in a browser because it's docs.google.com and then there's also spreadsheets.google.com so the base domain is the same. If it was an external link altogether then it would go out and we have had some suggestions that although Prism is not a generic web browser that we pretend could add tabs in as well so that the open web app windows could actually be multiple tabs as well and that might create a pretty slick desktop enabled version of Zoho or Google where you'd have Gmail in one tab, calendar in a tab and docs and spreadsheets in a tab as well and it's sort of a sweet application with one window so that's something we're looking at as well. One way we're doing that we're experimenting with that on windows anyway is minimize the tray and on Mac I don't know because it's not typically not the same as minimize the tray you've basically closed all visible windows and at that point how do you get the window back up there has to be a menu there at least some sort of menu that would still be available and that's something we could look at I actually put code in there so that it would kill it for good instead of leaving it hanging around because I couldn't figure out a way to bring it back to life in any meaningful way without double clicking on a URL again so yeah each OS has its own nuances that you need to try to capture as well anybody else? It'd be interesting I guess we'd have to see exactly what the current there's a lot of work right now happening in Firefox or in Mozilla on a mobile version to begin with it'd be interesting to see what kind of Chrome and UI it has that would potentially be different than a Gmail Web App version but I know that those guys are also they also have a Zool runner running on mobile on their mobile platform right now so it would be possible to actually make it run it could be interesting even right now there's a lot of cases where I'd like to be able to create applets and that's what happens on the iPhone with a web clip basically except mobile browsers right now have a very minimal UI to begin with so I don't know what to wait and see just how much people want less of a UI and what the value would be of having like a prism running on a mobile alright can I give a demonstration of prism there's not much to demonstrate and I don't have a web link right is that the one I should use I don't think so I think so I don't seem to have a web and it's a desktop enabled web app it's not a desktop version so it's not offline or anything like that so I really can't but it's pretty easy to download if you go to the the wiki if you wanted to do that before you get a hold of the presentation it's at wiki.mazzilla.org slash prism with a capital P and that'll give you a place to download the latest version and play around with it okay thanks a lot oh thanks


If you're among the many people who work remotely, you might already know that your workplace safety risks can be hard to spot, but very real. Things like electrical hazards and improper ergonomics, online meetings, and isolation. The hazards look different when you work off-site, and so do the safety measures. So, it's essential to take a few minutes to assess and improve our remote workspaces for the sake of our mental, physical, and emotional health. While this isn't an exhaustive guide to remote work safety, we have a few ways to help you get started. Start with an assessment of your workspace, and think like a facilities manager. Are your walkways clear? Are your exits unobstructed? Are you using search protectors? Keep in mind that in remote workspaces, you should ask yourself unique questions. Like, is Roscoe's water bowl a slip-and-fall hazard? Is my printer daringly close to my coffee maker? While you assess the specifics of your surroundings, take a minute to consider the overall space you've chosen to. If at all possible, set up your workspace in a spot that can be dedicated to your work. In other words, not your kitchen table.  If you work on the go or in coffee shops, pay attention to the things you can control, lighting, noise, or even distractions that can unknowingly zap your productivity and mood. A true assessment of your working space is a great tool for making sure it's healthy and sustainable. Now that you've noticed a few general things about your workspace, turn next to your desk setup and maintenance. Poor ergonomics are one of the leading causes of remote work injuries. It turns out that long days tapping away on a keyboard and zooming into meetings can do a number on the body. And now that you're doing this thing permanently, it's time to get serious about your hands, wrists, hips, and more. Even on a budget, there are simple ways you can improve your eye line, posture, and lighting. And once you have a good setup, don't skimp on stretching and hydrating, and even standing for parts of your day if possible. It's easy to overlook housekeeping when you're working remotely. It's the last thing you want to do at the end of the day. But having a space that's cluttered and dirty isn't just a safety hazard. It's a hazard for your mental health, too. If need be, set aside 30 minutes once a month to tend to stacks of papers, wayward cords, dust bunnies, and snack leftovers, though we do recommend eating away from your desk. While a good setup and good housekeeping are the start of a healthy remote work environment, some of the biggest challenges remote workers face are less tangible. These are things like motivation for the job and connection to coworkers. We used to see our coworkers and the value of our own contributions to the team on a regular basis. Now it might be weeks or longer between those mental boosts. So consider ways to create a healthy mindset for work. That can mean both connecting with coworkers and supervisors, and disconnecting in your off hours. To connect well, start with some regular at work and after work plans to see your coworkers in person and actually put them on the calendar. Make sure to schedule check-ins and performance reviews with your supervisor, too. Participate in meetings, whether they're remote or in person. Even if you're out of practice, you'll be glad you did. And then, disconnect intentionally, too. Take breaks throughout the day, take a real lunch, and turn off at night no matter how convenient your workspace is. Overall, make sure your day still has structure that includes exercise, time with family and friends, and time away from electronics. Don't hesitate to speak up if you're struggling with your outlook. Many workers are finding new challenges in the isolation that can come with working remotely, so you're not alone. Connecting and disconnecting safeguards can help prevent anxiety and depression, and make work more fulfilling wherever your office might be.

brocklin of the northwest mounted police traveled on snowshoes through desolate country miles from the settlement of velary flats the corporal was on the trail of cub west and the five killers traveling with him bucklin was closer than he realized to the man he saw here he comes get ready all right bucklin didn't know that they're doubled back in their tracks and were watching his approach from behind a formation of boulders and then when he was within rifle range i've got him boys that mounties off our tracks for keep we make sure that let's show on boys we'll show on after i make sure the mighty's dead come on we'll go over and take a look at it the short heavy set man giving the orders was cub west cub had received his neck name early in his career of crime in his teens he had turned criminal and his greatest boast was that he'd been behind bars only once and now in his middle 30s he was an expert at dodging justice only one of his followers a man named tax had escaped being pictured on handbills when cub saw the face of the mighty had shot he turned to texan snap that said person was on our trail boss that's what i heard in doors and this isn't person who is he cub his name's bucklin he generally patrols this territory and i suppose i didn't know i thought he was president and we didn't get president but this mighty sure is dead and i see it we're in worse trouble than we were before we killed one mighty and we still have president right and where they come let's make for the border while we have the chance i'm not clearing out of the uconn till i have enough gold to put me on easy street a cub if we stay here we'll be catching it not if we make person think we cleared out of this country you mean we'll make him think we've cleared out but we'll

we reach the mine we'll travel by compass and look the king to get us through hey sergeant king's running away there's no danger as bad as look he's running way ahead on the trail he does that happen

Wright placed them out his body on the sled inside of 15 minutes the snow became a howling blizzard completely covering the tracks of the man who had murdered corporate bucket after the death of her husband the merry right found it increasingly difficult to make ends men had to be hired and costly machinery bought before gold could be taken from the tunnel with barely enough food for herself and johnny merry had no hope of operating the mine she and johnny were finishing a light meal in their cabin as the storm raged outside gosh it's nice to be indoors i need to be out in the storm someone has to go out feed the dog i wish you'd do it for me tonight johnny but mom take some of the dried fish in the woodshed right son you're still afraid of dogs i hope you had changed mom i've tried to write dogs honestly let's talk it over johnny and see if we can't settle it before uncle ed gets here you wouldn't want him to know you're afraid of dogs would you know that all right then now what is it that makes you afraid you're a number that time dad nine went to dawson when he lived in three pines what about it there dad and i were traveling at least there was a moon that we couldn't see very far a wolf pack was back off the trail they attacked two men dad had to keep firing his gun to drive the wolves away those wolves had killed the man mom yes dad told me about it when you came home in the moonlight those wolves looked just like dogs i can't help saying of those men every time i get near a dog but there's a big difference between a dog and a wolf a dog is a friend not to me i don't like dogs wouldn't you like to overcome your fear taking food to the dogs is a good way to start all right i'll try good for you johnny i'll put the fish in a basket you just throw it to the dog mary writes stood by the open door of the woodshed watching johnny as he walked toward the dog running with a strong wind at his back johnny felt as if you were being driven toward the thing he feared but the hungry dogs smelled the dried fish they stood up anticipating the food they knew was theirs oh god oh god well each step johnny's tear modded his heart powdered in his ears his hands became numb and his knees shook the dogs crowded toward him eagerly but johnny was stopping his tracks he trembled from head to foot the waiting dogs caught the heated set of fear and reacted instantly come on in the house darling right there dear don't cry mom all right sonny i don't care about live nosy maybe that's uncle ed now dry your tears darling i'll open the door mom howdy son hello my name boy come

let that be a lesson to him next time i'll hit him harder please go away and leave us alone this is right i'll give you the facts we're dodging the mountain dodging the mountain yeah we need a place

right away what if someone comes here looking for you we'll never be taken we'll fight it out but do you know if if anyone is following you we know sergeant preston's on our trail sergeant preston yeah what about it oh nothing i've heard of him well the storm's likely wiped out our tracks but he may have that dog of his with him if he comes here he'll have to get all six of us because if he doesn't we'll get him meanwhile johnny's uncle had found it nearly impossible to withstand the punishment of the stinging wind and blinding snowstorm a tender foot fresh from the states ed rite wasn't used to the hardships of the uconn after struggling to keep pace with sergeant preston he had finally asked the maury to seek shelter preston had snooped snow from a giant drift into the icy cavern he carried the body of bill bucklin and then while king laid his master's feet and the rest of the team curled up outside two men waited for the storm to subside sorry i had to slow you down sergeant that's all i did take some experience traveling to make his way through uconn's storms you'll get used to this weather i never thought i'd find the inside of a snowdrift cozy when you're caught in open country or hollowed out this makes a fine shall we too bad the snow has covered the tracks of the men who murdered your friend at least we know that the tracks of six men at the scene of the ambush how far would cub weston his killers have to travel to get out of the territory double of 100 miles oh if i'd kill the money i couldn't get out of the uconn faster he might do that you don't sound convinced before i lefterson i studied the file of information on cub west what you find if all these escape capture all these years by doing the unexpected and where you're going i think the storm's over on the outside and look around how is it still snowing but the storm's over that will be able to go on hey the track is covered where do we go from here your brothers cabins do not live here come in at the dogs up for you i'll hold the cabin and i'll be on our way it was late afternoon cub weston his gang had made themselves at home in merry rights cabin johnny was bringing in a supply of wood from the shed behind the house when the man named ferrell said come on ahead of the window yeah what is it ferrell yeah it looks like someone's coming yeah two men and a dog team there's a free lead run the head of those huskies i saw him boy hey boys one of those men a certain person right let me see oh he walks in all six of us will have to drop out and the boy here will open the door for you kill him as he comes inside i won't open the door i'll be sensible johnny you wouldn't want to stop a bullet would you they're coming mighty close boss come here johnny cub weston the men with him were trying to watch the mountains progress without getting too close to the windows johnny left his mother's side and started toward cub west but as the boy passed the door leading to the wood shed he rushed toward him johnny snatched the door open and slammed it quickly as he rushed from the house to the outside he kept close to the house so the outlaws couldn't see him and as he ran he shouted weston heard the warning he swung his team to the protection of large boulders that have been placed to form a fence and windbreak around the cabin the body got low and shouted head right head hit the ground but head right was too slow the outlaws opened fire from the windows of the cabin just then johnny coming from the opposite direction reached the shelter of the huge boulders he hurried to sergeant weston side thanks for the warning johnny died the house sergeant weston cub weston his whole day i nearly walked into a trap that are you all right they hit me i was still shooting don't worry they can't hit us as long as we stay behind these boulders that they might get out of the house without us seeing them they will warn us if they try that oh bad issue sergeant it's a flesh wound there now i'll do what i can for it as for you young fella i had a spare part of mittens on my sled you'd better put them on yes a couple of prices too big for you but they

money's safe behind those boulders out there here we have trapped any has us trapped not only that but he could go in a straight line from the boulder to the main trail we wouldn't be able to see him the boulders cut off the view of the trail that's inch back and want to show himself of course he won't yeah what do we do boys we're way less dark i have a plan boys and i'd guarantee we'll get that mountain meanwhile behind the boulders at the side of the cabin sergeant Preston and made it right as comfortable as possible how do you feel them i'll be all right sergeant don't worry about me sergeant Preston mom's inside the cabin those trips will try to get cub weston his gang before they hurt your mother how are you doing well you'll have to go to town and get help that's our only chance jenny well i'll run away this time well that isn't necessary you'll ride my sled but i can't handle the dog king will handle the dog you tell king where to go he'll do the right i can't do it i'll go on foot sergeant Preston it's not too deep johnny you couldn't break trail through it we have to close in on that gang before dark that's right johnny it'll be dark in about three hours after it's dark those cooks might be able to escape i can use a gun i can stay here and i'm glad to do it i'm a wounded sonny he can't travel couldn't king go alone i've heard that he's gone for help before only one he knew where to go he's never been in this part of the country he doesn't know anyone in town johnny what's wrong sergeant Preston i'm afraid of him i try not to be the idea he opens please let me try to go to town on foot here king johnny this is king king knew from sergeant Preston's manner that johnny was a friend but as he stood close to his master the great dog sensed johnny's fear king wanted to be friends with a boy and he tried to tell him so king this is johnny oh now don't be frightened johnny he's just saying hello he won't hurt you the great dog moved close to the boy another with small hand and cased in the large mitten if he wants to be friends oh why don't you pet him well let him do that try it and see he must like you johnny he won't let many people do that gosh sergeant Preston i think he's so likely now do you think king is as dangerous to you as those cooks inside the house oh no you're not afraid of king johnny you're not afraid of any other dog not when your mother's life is at stake oh you're right sergeant Preston i'll vote it's time good for you johnny i'll help you climb on the sled all set yes you're king johnny you and king are partners

dad used to drive our team i'll be able to do it try to bring help before dark and johnny keep these boulders between you and the house so the outlaws won't see you i will i'm king oh our past and then another from time to time a gun box is one of the outlaws try to leave the cabin then the gathering darkness made it difficult for sergeant Preston to watch the house in the kitchen cub west pulled one of mary right skirt over his own clothing placed a shawl over his head well we go out the front door with me dressing his skirt and shawl the mounty will hold his fire because you'll think i'm mrs right that's a slick idea cub now i have my gun beneath his shawl as soon as i get close to Preston i'll open fire the rest of you hear the gunplay rushing open the door ferro call out to the mountain right Preston hold your fire i'm bringing mrs right out with me all right give your hands up and walk slowly let's go boy light from the open door silhouetted the two figures leaving the cabin whenever i saw the short heavy set figure in the woman's skirt he called out hold your fire cub west and ferro dropped to the ground hearing the gunplay the rest of the gang rush from the house firing as they came the rest of come on boy watch listen if someone's coming the press must have sent for help more than a dozen townsman joined sergeant Preston in the battle it followed cub west and his gang of killers were completely outnumbered those who hadn't been wounded realized the hopelessness of continuing the fight i quit i give up you don't shoot i've had enough make sure i'm hit and die what about the rest of your gang my left arm busted person but as long as i can use the other one i'll get it how both of your arms are broken cub any of the rest of you want gunplay looks like cup west and his gang were through sergeant Preston thanks to johnny and key this is my mom all right there's your answer johnny she's coming from the house right now johnny thanks heavy arm look who's here hello mary edd when did you get here he was with sergeant Preston all the time sergeant Preston left this army's killers now what are you going to do with him we'll take them into the house

I've got a long commute to work, it's easy for me to sit on the train with my iPad and watch a couple of lectures, take notes on the side, even to the point where in the T-room at work, I can quickly watch a 12 minute lecture or do a quick sample quiz on the train.


Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel for today's video. I'm going to be showing you what is in my makeup travel bag. So if you want to see what made the final cut, then just keep watching. So as you can see, I'm showing you my messy messy makeup room.  I just wanted to do this casually. But anyways, as I've mentioned in literally every single video, I'm going on vacation and I think I'm so excited about it because I have just finished up the school year from HE Double Hockey 6. Like this vacation is exactly what I needed. But I'm coming on here to tell you why I chose what I chose for makeup because normally I am a cereal overpacker. And even with makeup, like I don't care. I'll bring five pallets for a week-long trip. That makes sense, right? So this time, I really wanted to challenge myself to pack as minimally as possible. My goal for myself was to fit everything in my Esum makeup bag, which I will link down below, but you'll take a closer look. It actually fits quite a lot. And the reason I wanted to pack more minimally than I normally would is because I'm trying to force myself to just chill and not worry about, like, my makeup. I normally don't care about how I look for vacation, but part of the fun of vacation for me as a makeup lover is having excuses in different places to get all glammed up for. That's part of what I enjoy about vacation. This time, you know, Jose and I are going to Florida. It's going to be hot and humid, so I just don't see myself wanting to get glammed up.  So I just want to pack minimally what I need to just look a little bit nice for dinner. And I think I did a good job with that, guys. I'm not even packing full slashes. I don't even know who I am. But anyways, just keep in mind that normally when I travel, it's not like this. I definitely travel more glam most of the time. And this is still actually a lot of makeup because I can't help myself. But for me, this is really good. So let's take a closer look. Welcome to my carpet.  But I'm going to show you what is in my makeup travel bag. So this time, I challenged myself to only use this Issa makeup bag, which is incredible, by the way. It's so ouch. It's compact. It holds so much makeup. It has this little handle here that you can put on top of something. I don't know. And let's unzip it. Okay. So here is what we have. Yeah, I packed a lot of makeup in here. So I don't know what order to do this in. I guess we will start over on this side. Maybe I should go in order of application. Let's do that. But first, let me show you how the bag works. This is not sponsored or anything, by the way. I just think it's amazing for travel. So if you travel frequently, I love this.  That's what I have in here. And there's also compartments right here and here. You can see my hand is in there. Like I have a liquid lipstick in here. I have all my brushes. It's quite spacious. It pulls out pretty wide. And you still have more slots right here for things not to roll away. And then you have this little clear top right here, which is really great because it's very easy to clean and you can see everything. And then you unzip it. And this part, it's just kind of like a big well to fit as many makeup products as you can in here. So I think I'm going to go in the order of application starting off with my tools. So I have my refer eyelash curler. I actually don't use eyelash curlers that often. I don't know why this looks so dirty. Ew. I actually don't use eyelash curlers too often because I'm a big false lash wearer, but I'm not bringing false lashes with me on this trip. So I definitely wanted an eyelash curler. This one is awesome. I of course have my beauty blender a must have. And let's talk brushes. So as you can see, I was able to squeeze them away in this tiny area. And hopefully these are all of the brushes that I'm going to need.  And this is from a Sonia G set that came out over the winter time. I will link it down below. I believe it's called the Kyaki set, but they are very short handles, which is why I decided to bring this set with me because it won't take up too much space. I told you all I would use this for travel and I am. This actually belongs to my mom, but I totally stole these from her. So we have these three eye brushes right here. We have a mini blender, a brushed pat color on, and this one's also blend. And then we also have two face brushes. So we have a base brush, which is really great. I sometimes use it for cream products, but you can also use it to buff in products. And I might actually use it for highlighter. And then this brush, I love the classic face. You can use this for bronzer, blush, and highlight. It's so versatile. So from that set, what I felt like was missing were these three items. So I wanted a bit of a bigger blending brush. So I brought my BK Beauty 202. I also wanted something to set my under eyes or could also work as a blush brush. So I have my Wayne Goss number two brush. And then I also wanted a true highlight brush to keep the shimmers on one brush. So this is the Kaleidos H2 brush. I like this one because it's nice and short.  Really helping, I don't need more. So we will see. And let's start off with primers. So the first primer that I have, this is actually just a moisturizer. And actually might move to my skincare and like toiletries bag. But for now, I have it in here. This is the Tatcha, the Dewy Skin Cream. This is what's going to hydrate my skin this trip. Back here, see I was able to fit this big sunscreen, which takes up a lot of room. But I of course, especially since we're going to be in Florida, need to have my sunscreen. So I have the Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 from Kate Somerville. I also have, this is going to be used as my makeup primer, the Colourpop Face Milk. I just love this for, again, another layer of hydration. While we're here, this is going to finish off the makeup, but I did want to talk about it because this also is taking up a lot of space. But it's the travel size of the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flullist Setting Spray. I love this. I feel like it's going to be perfect for Florida because this really is such a long-wearing setting spray. So I had to add that in. Moving on to Foundation Prada. So I have these little travel sizes of the It Cosmetics CC Cream. And honestly, these are hitting the expiration date. So not only would these not take up too much space, but I can also try and finish them up this trip. It gives a nice medium coverage. Nothing too heavy, but nothing too lightweight. It does have SPF, which is going to be perfect as well. So this is perfect for Florida. And this is actually, believe it or not, going to be my more glam option. Also, if you see the crusties under my nails that I just noticed, it's because I was swatching eyeshadow. I also brought four foundations. So that's going to be like the heavier coverage. But for every day or just something lightweight to throw on, I wanted to bring a powder foundation. I wanted to compare how I felt about something light, like a tinted moisturizer versus a powder foundation in the humidity. So I chose my Makeup Forever Powder Foundation. I just think this is really great for the kind of temperature in R330. Now for concealers, I picked out two. So the first one, this is kind of my heavier coverage for like a dinner date night. Mine's Your Forever Skin Correct. But I also chose this because I actually like this kind of all over as a foundation as well. I find this formula to be extremely versatile. It can be used for concealers, spot concealing, and foundation. It can give you a light coverage. You can actually build it up as well. So I brought it just because it's so multifunctional. And then also for my no makeup makeup days, I wanted to bring my Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightener. I've been talking about this nonstop. It's perfect for just brightening up the under eyes with no other makeup, no makeup makeup looks. It literally is so great for those lightweight makeup days, which I think I'm going to have a lot of. So I chose this. Now to set the face, I wanted a loose powder because I'm really fearful that my makeup's going to break. So I didn't want another pressed powder. So this is really tiny. It's the By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra Powder. I'm not in love with this, but it really was just compact. So it's going to set my makeup if need be. But I can also use my makeup forever to set as well if I don't want to use this. So that is complete complexion. Now as far as the bronzer blush highlight, I am really challenging myself. And I am only bringing my Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a palette in the shade Stone Rose. Now I'm struggling right now because I want to add at least another cheek palette, but I'm not going to. And this palette minimally gives you exactly what you need without having to bring anything else. So this guy has three eyeshadows, and you can use these wherever you want. But this is just to show you two blushes, one bronzer, and one highlight. So I am hoping I can get away with this vacation by only using this for face color and mostly for eyeshadows as well. So we will see truly how versatile this is. Now I know the new one that they just came out with. I've been in love with and as tempted as I was to bring that one, this one needs some love. So I'm going to see how I can challenge myself and only use this because this right here is saving so much space. I always recommend these for travel, but I never travel. So I am proving to you that I'm using this for travel. But because you guys know I have such fun with eyeshadows and because of me, I wanted to bring something that could add a little bit of color and variety to the eyeshadows since this is really very plain. So I chose the Visi Art Shushu palette. And again, this is one of those where I say you can use these for travel. So here I am using it for travel. It's literally the tiniest thing you've ever seen. And it's really awesome because you still get eight colors here. So I thought these colors would be really fun for this summer. They would bring a nice fun pop to this Charlotte Tilbury. So I mean, these are all of the powder products that are gonna work on my face really this next week. And I'm excited to see how it goes and how I feel because you know what, there's no better way to test how you really truly love products than taking them to travel with you. I also brought a mini Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance just to work as a base for my eyeshadows. Now moving on to eyebrows. I only brought with me two eyebrow products. And you see my other brow product is hiding here. So again, working as minimally as possible, I just brought my Kosas brow pencil because I love this and my Kosas airbrow gel. So I've just been loving these two a lot. They're my current favorites. So I threw them in here. They don't take up too much space. Eyeliners. I brought two eyeliners with me.  So I am using the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner. I just really love the way that this lasts. And I know I have some expensive stuff here, but a lot of the time when I travel, I prefer to bring more affordable options because if something were to happen to my makeup where it would break and I would lose it, I would feel less bad. I guess that's really what this is. Plus a lot of my liquid liners are drying out. This is one of the only ones that aren't dried out right now. And then I also brought the Fenty Fly Pencil in the shade Puppy Eyes. It's just like a nice kind of metallic brown pencil. I like to put this in my waterline or to lightly run along my lash line for some natural definition. And since it looks like I'm going to be wearing a lot of natural makeup, I thought that this would be perfect. Now I am only wearing mascara. No false lashes. So I had to bring one of my favorite mascaras right now, which is the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift. Definitely one of my all-time favorite mascaras. It's affordable. So this is what's going to give me my false lash effect without actually bringing that. All right, it is time to move on to lips. Now I'm bringing more lip products than I normally would and I will explain why, but we're going to start off with lip liners. I have three lip liners with me. So the first one that I'm bringing is a red because I have a couple red lipsticks that I'm playing with. So this is the Colourpop Lippy Pencil in the shade Bossy. I wanted more of a neutral brown lipstick, so I grabbed for the Elf Retro Paradise Lip Liner. And I wanted something to wear with my more pinky lipstick. So I have mauve from Wayne Goss. I love these three formulas very much and I feel like it's a nice broad range here with only bringing three. So those are the three that I chose. I picked out one liquid lipstick just because I love this color. For no makeup, makeup days, I actually really like to have a brighter lip. So I've been loving this Maybelline Lover Matte Superstay Ink. So these don't go anywhere. So this is my long wearing lip color. If I'm going to be wearing a mask, or I'm going out to dinner and I want something to last, I did want to bring a liquid lipstick with me. I only brought one lip gloss with me, which I thought would go good with all of the lip liners that I brought, maybe besides the red, but of course it's the Fenty Glow Gloss Balm. So it's really tiny and cute and it's a very versatile gloss. So you know what's up with that. And normally I would not have brought so many lipsticks, but remember YouTube and playing with makeup is my job.  So I really want to play with them and since I don't get the chance to for a whole week, I couldn't wait. So I just brought all of them. They fit. So that's what it is. But I'm going to show you the colors here. We have your fire, which is a fun hot pink red, which I think could be really fun. We have Noelle, which is a more brown shade, a neutral brown. That's why I brought the brown lip liner. We have Cashmere Dom, which is a warm mauvey lip color, maybe not mauvey, but you see it. We have Company Card, which is a color I'm going to be wearing a lot, a nice nudie peach. We have Hocus Pocus, which is a deeper color. So these burnt lip colors, I'm really excited because I feel like the makeup looks that I have in mind are going to be perfect for brighter lip colors. And then finally, this is going to be my everyday color. Probably this is where's my limo. So I'm going to have a big focus on lips this trip. I don't want to focus too much on eyes. I just want to have mascara and a bright lip. And I think I'll look really put together. So normally probably would not have brought all of these lipsticks, but I can't help myself. If I want to play, I'm going to play. Let's put everything back together. All right, you guys. There we have it. As you can see, I managed to fit a whole lot in this thing. And it's so awesome. And I know for most of you, you're probably like, that's a lot of makeup, but trust me for somebody like me, I did really good this round. So thank you guys so much for watching this video. I hope you enjoyed it. If you aren't subscribed to my channel already, I would love it if you would consider taking some to do so. And I will see you all in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one.


Hello, artists and first-time visitors. Welcome to Monet Café. Get ready to have a lot of fun here with some color and value optical illusions. And if you haven't already, please subscribe to this channel to keep more art lessons and fun coming your way. So it's time, artists, to put on your lab coats and let's become color scientists and have a lot of fun learning some of the principles and optical illusions of color and value. Now before we get to some neat online optical illusions, I thought I'd share an optical illusion of my own. This was from a video. It's called Warm Versus Cool Colors here on Monet Café, and I literally took pastels. I was showing the difference between warm and cool colors, but a lot of the viewers responded and said, oh my goodness, I could see the pastel color changing as you moved it. Now this is a perfect example of the optical illusions with color and value based on the surroundings. Watch this pastel. The next one I'm going to do is even more noticeable as I move it across the palette and notice how the color changes to have more gray, more blue, more green, depending on what's around it. And here's another one. By the way, I think this is, I know these are Terry Ludwig pastels, but I believe it's called, I believe it's called cool greens, even though you see some blues and purples in there. Watch the color change. Can you see that? It went from kind of a bluish purple to a darker purple to a neutral gray. It's fascinating to see how color and value is affected based on the surrounding colors and values. So let's do some of these online color tests, which will definitely help you to understand why these illusions happen and to help you become a better artist. Some of you may remember the visual trickery and internet sensation about whether this was a blue dress or a white dress and actually the reasoning for some of these color and value illusions is something that many artists have known all along. So let's talk about some of these and have some fun. My patrons on my Patreon page have been enjoying some little color tests and color trivia that I've been giving them and I just recently found this one site called braindin.com with quite a few interesting and fun little color tests. First let's define what a color illusion is. Color illusions are images where surrounding colors trick the human eye into incorrect interpretation of color. Now, they're a lot of fun, but as artists here in Monet Café we can learn when and why these things happen and it will help us to better make choices as artists. Now, I will enlarge some of these and put them in Photoshop, but it gives instructions that you may want to hide some parts of the optical illusions by putting your hands so that you don't get distracted by the rest of the image. So let's start looking at these squares and see if you can see the numbers or letters within. The top left one, you should see 58. The top right, you should see 18. The lower left, wait a second, you should see the letter E and the lower right, you should see the number 17. So if you don't, you might have a little bit of a degree of color blindness. I know some of our members, the ones that have told me they have some of that, they have been men and also too, I've shared with them, don't worry about that. If you've got a degree of color blindness, it can actually be a benefit because it causes you to focus more on value than color, which is something I'm always preaching anyway. Value is really more important and then you can get interpretive with color if you get the value right. All right, here's the famous dress color illusion. Do any of you guys remember this? It was a trick or a visual illusion, optical illusion test where many people saw this dress. It became like people fighting on the internet over what color this dress was. Honestly, I think it's just a really bad photo, but it is, the question was whether it is blue with some little trim on it or white with gold trim. And I was amazed at how many people saw it as white. What do you see it as? I see it as blue and we can do something to actually identify. Now I'm talking about what color is it in this photo? What color it is in life depends on where you put it. You could put the dress in bright light in the sunshine and it probably would appear white or put it in some subdued lighting with some cooler temperatures and it's going to appear blue. Now we understand that as artists, things are different in volume color based on where they are. So let's take a look at this one actually as just this image and it's pretty easy actually to do, just zoom into a particular area and see we're going to isolate the dress in a smaller area without the surrounding color to see what color it actually is within this photo. That was an example of a color optical illusion and this is one with value, the difference in dark to light. And I presented this one on my Patreon page, I think it was last week. And the goal with this one was to identify what value A and B were in the squares on the checker board. Optically, B appears lighter than A, but I did in the example last week, I removed everything except square A and B. They are actually exactly the same value of gray. Isn't that crazy? That's a perfect example of how value is determined or perceived depending on its surroundings. Now here's another one. It's called a white illusion. All gray rectangles are of equal luminance. They mean value there. Although the ones in the dark stripes appear brighter than the ones in the bright stripes. So let me enlarge it. All of these gray squares are the same value. There's one, two, three, four over here and one, two, three, four, five over here. They all are actually exactly the same value. Again this is like the same thing I keep saying over and over again. It's because of what's surrounding it. These appear lighter because there's dark around them. And these appear darker because there's white surrounding it. Let's throw it in Photoshop and check it out for sure. Here I'm just using my selection tool to literally select everything that is not gray, not the gray squares. And looky there. They're all the same value of gray. Isn't that cool? So remember that when you're a painting artist that everything with value and color really depends on what's around it. That might help you learn to choose your values better or differently. All right this one is called Color Cube. Believe it or not the pieces A, B, and C all have the same color. Use any color picker graphic program or simply cover the remainder with your hand to see for yourself. Okay let's look at A, B, and C. I'm going to enlarge it. A, B, and C. Now this one is very dramatic to see how different value and color can be based on surroundings.  So let's throw this one in Photoshop and check it out. Now what I'm going to be doing is literally just using a selection tool and selecting A, B, and C individually and removing everything else around it. All right we have just A, B, and C selected. Let me inverse it and cut everything else out. And lookie there they are exactly the same color and value. That's crazy right? Let me zoom in a little bit more so that you can see it. So we need to remember this as artist that color and value are perceived by what's around it. Some of you may have seen this one. Actually it was recently shared by one of my patrons on my Patreon page and it's really amazing. So I'm not going to put this one in Photoshop but basically if you take your fingers kind of horizontally and you cover up the middle section where A and B meet you'll see that they're exactly the same value. Once again just another amazing illusion. Oh here's a nice one with color. It's called Yellow Dog versus Blue Dog. Both of them are the same color. Oh my goodness let me do this one because this this is really neat. All right here we are with two dogs that appear to be totally different colors but when I remove the background in Photoshop so there you go. I didn't select them very good. I cut off some of their the feet on the bottom one but um anyway that is another crazy awesome illusion right? All right let's do this one called Chess Sets. I think they have a typo in their description. It says the upper set is black and the bottom set is black right? I think they meant the upper set is white and the bottom set is black right? Wrong. Both sets have absolutely the same color just the background has changed. So once again I'm not going to throw that one in the Photoshop but man that is just really amazing how our brains tell us that this top set is light chess pieces and the bottom one is dark chess pieces. All right here's another one called Red versus Green. When you first look at this how many colors do you see? Some might say they see three or even four colors but there are two red and green. This is fantastic. I love this illusion. People usually think they see two shades of red but there's only one. Look closely and you'll notice on one side that white boxes surround the red boxes and on the other side green boxes surround them. Due to the placement of these boxes you get the illusion of different colors. Since white is not considered to be a color it is the presence of all colors in scientific terms. Absolutely right. We can safely say that there are two colors present here. Still don't understand click to enlarge. Let's click this one up and look at it. All right again the same illusion principle. These have white squares surrounding them so they appear a bit more pinkish. These have darker green squares or darker in value green squares surrounding them so they appear a bit more reddish or darker in value. So isn't that just really cool? I love these things. This one's called Gray versus Blue Stripes. Focus on the black dot in the bottom right hand corner and the moving gray stripe will eventually turn blue. All right so try to focus on the black dot and don't look at anything else. And peripherally do you see it? I see it. It's totally a blue box now vibrating on the left hand side. That is just so cool. You know also too there's another thing you can do visually. If you stare at an orange square I can't remember how many seconds and then turn your eyes to look at a white wall. Do you know what color you'll see? You'll see it's complement. You'll see blue. That's why I'm often talking about how the things with the color wheel and the rules they're willy nilly or something that some man just invented. It's something actually that Sir Isaac Newton discovered the principles of the color wheel and it was all based on the rainbow. And Sir Isaac Newton was a Christian. He was a believer and he actually realized that God's design of color had scientific and designed principles. So I find that really cool. All right this is another cool one. It's called lilac chase. Also known as pac-man illusion is another example of after image complementary color like we were just talking about. The complementary color to this lilac color is green. It's opposite on the color wheel. Follow the movement of the rotating pink dot with your eyes and the dots will remain only one color pink. But if you stare at the black dot in the center the moving dot will turn. What color? It's complement green. Let's do this one. So as long as we are just kind of following the the little pink dots around they're pink, right? Now try to isolate the square in the middle. I hope you guys are just like amazed by this because it is so cool. All of a sudden they're green.  I couldn't possibly know at what point in time you would stare at this dot. I'm also seeing a little green kind of halo effect around them now too. So man, isn't that cool? I hope you guys love this. If you liked these and you want to have some more fun I will include a clickable link to this website in the description of the video. But hold on how does this apply towards painting and pastels and art in general? While these color and value quizzes were fun they actually have a whole lot to do with our color selections and value selections. With regards to pastel painting I decided to use this Paris collection. I just got I'm so excited about this half stick set to put some of these principles to practice when it comes to color selection. Now I've taken two different surfaces black and white and I'm literally going to choose one pastel and I will lay it on each of the two different surfaces. Before I show the result I want to explain too that this is often why it's hard to choose colors online. Looking at your phone, looking at a screen, not only do screens differ but what is around the pastel even within the photo can make a difference. This is the same turquoise color on black and on white. Now let me put them together and you should be able to noticeably see that there is an illusion that the one on black appears lighter in value and perhaps in color than the one on white. And if you'd like to learn a little bit more about how these things apply artistically check out my video here on Monet Café on understanding value. Now my patrons have the longer version but I'll provide a clickable link at the very end here so you can check that video out if you'd like. Alright guys I hope you had a lot of fun. I know I did and as always happy painting!
