All right, so the first major gathering took place at Ikeja turned out of celebrities and crowd amplified the answers message with the protest along the express citizens from other states and celebrities from various industries joined the demonstration with the 545 demands immediate release of all arrested protesters okay so the 545 demands are the immediate release for all arrested protesters justice for all these victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for families set up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all police misconduct conduct psychological evaluation and retraining of all disbanded staff officers before their redeployment the fifth one would be increase police officer salaries and adequately compensate them for protecting the lives and properties of citizens of citizens and the government's response on october 11 2020 the federal government announced the disbandment of the special anti robberies called sars across Nigeria on october 12 2020 the president addressed citizens via a televised speech the IGP convened a stakeholders forum of civil society organization leaders and other activists activists and the demands were accepted on october 13 2020 a new unit called special weapons and tactics team SWAT was set up to replace SARS it was met with the more resistance it was met with more resistance and the protest continued after all it was like just changing uniforms so our five demands you know on the 11th of october 2020 where the immediate release of all arrested protesters justice for all disease victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of police misconduct within 10 years and in line with the new police act psychological evaluation and retaining retraining rather to be confirmed by the independent body of all these bandit sars officers before they can be redeployed and the fifth one was increase police salary so that they are adequately compensated for protecting lives and properties so this is i mean the week i mean when october this is the week that all that protest was going on and is important that people do not forget the core of it i think somebody is taking a story today in line with you know police issue yeah so i mean with all of those things is birthing a reform in our police sector you can't have people that have guns and not you know not have the right persons holding the guns right so i mean in case you want to learn more about your elected officials learn more about your governors your senators your house of rep members the state house of assembly members the local government chairman and counselors you can just chat hello to 01700 6381 that's the chat box for the office of the citizen and this all i mean this segment is always powered by enough is enough all right so i mean certificate conversation that's what we're having today and here's what we found as today's quote president tinnable certificate saga and the issue surrounding it is a huge embarrassment that definitely rubs off on national integrity this is from chief fester's oguche now last week thursday on our lady's night we had discussed the tinnable certificate saga we're asked if nigerians should focus on this or just move on however the controversy surrounding the release of academic records of president bolame tinnable to the presidential candidate of the people the people's democratic party that's atikua bubacara but the chicago state university has continued to elicit diverse reactions from eminent nigerians and other stakeholders who express concerns about the implications of the revelations on the image of the country so today we'll be discussing this particular certificate saga and we're asking what are its implication on democracy now you're still watching ways world post day is celebrated each year on october 9th to commemorate the creation of the universal postal union that's upu in nineteen eight i'm sorry in 1874 it's a day to recognize a crucial role that post offices play in connecting communities and in 2023 the theme is together for trust collaborating for a safe and connected future very interesting deal and you know it's so interesting that we still have post cards and all of those things because the advent of social media the advent of the internet mobile phones and all of that you think that's on purpose some people are really that traditional you know i remember my grandfather used to make me write letters you know right i still i still have birthday cards from like handwritten letters yes i have my birthday cards from maybe less than 16 or so like when i was in boarding school and in friends because i mean that was the only way we could do anything so they'll you know get a card and write a note and it really does mean a lot to me i love i love notes and written notes i feel like they're so thoughtful and beautiful it's composed from your heart it's not something that you just picked up on the internet and you're just now it just kicks okay on that note let me start with you dammy what did you find first okay um technically it's good news so um the court sentenced police officer daram b vandi to death by hanging um so i think it's good news because this police officer officer rather he was a happy you i don't know what's just what's he called us a crazy trigger happy trigger happy hey i was a trigger happy policeman who shots a woman on christmas day last year the lawyer yeah i mean imagine someone just going minding our own business and then go for a bit birthday you just get shots like it doesn't make any sense so i'm just very happy that he was actually you know persecuted because usually what we hear is i remember one time i went home and my dad was telling me that somewhere very close to our house a police officer actually shot a bus driver and he died and my dad was like just a few months after then he saw the police officer walking there in that same place again so i'm like what kind of country is this where some certain people are above the law because i believe that when you kill someone you should be killed i don't know that's how the law is why so why then because the person is a police officer or probably knows one person or probably the person is even something and then they can just shoot somebody and then just go why but if a regular person just use yam you would prescribe and say the person stole the whole nigeria so i'm just very happy that this particular story has a happy ending i don't know if it's safe to say it has a happy ending we like well you will call it closure yes at least for the family because again it's one thing for people to fight for justice it's another thing for them to get it and the truth is this particular case right i think what really really you know made it a bit um what's it called was the fact that it went viral made it a bit more um like the actions were taken was because this is the first police case that has gone viral if you are if you want to look at this critically it's not this is not the first police brutality case that has gone viral i'm nothing we've seen many and heard so many cases where i mean everybody knew about what was happening and they still did nothing to them so this particular one i don't know i don't know the i don't know what makes it um peculiar but i'm just happy that justice was and like you rightly said it's one thing to actually be fighting for justice the other day to even get the justice so i'm very glad and yes it's closure for the family i'm i'm really really glad and our hearts it goes out for the family need less than also um your story quickly the singer simi naks scape makers ash musi non-smirage and others over their depiction of african moms so basically there's a video they're gonna play of i mean the usual jokes they usually make of how african moms are and i think that they went a bit too far except except except your mom is even the even if your mom is local i don't think she like your duty or depicting that they have no common sense in my opinion i think they were just depicting how their mothers are oh no because my mom is not like that i don't think i've met any mom that is like that yeah so when i saw your story i went to leave a comment there let them not come for me but the truth is that i feel like it is the kind of mother that they are exposed to and the kind of mother that if they've been around because if come on it doesn't make any sense i get it that you want to do some of these skits to go viral but depicting your mother in that i mean for instance you know she will tell you that some of her skits is is like you know just watching her mom and all of that yeah so she might do it but you you will see that she's not doing it in an in an extreme yeah that makes people start to wonder is your mom like this the same thing with um craze clown always slapping adi i am sure as far as always slapping him but that is you know they've been able to translate that in a way that it is not attacking the person of who their parents are but for you to do this kind of thing i mean it's uh i don't know i think i agree with him and i think see me sensitive you know she says she's a mother now and she's a posh mother very touchy and she has a see me as a mom too and i've met her mom her mom is very cultured very you know so i mean parking place was too much that i think the house you would do is ah so then they do here but not that they will start parking the place so when the mother was not doing a link on the don't do that i'm going to do something i'm going to invite all your moms let's go have dinner they will film it i mean i will not tell them this is how i'm going to do that that's actually what you mean it's really sad all right so my story from a president of um nigeria chief of lushekom about sunday has explained why multiculturalism was designed for mankind by boris saying it must be cherished generously guarded and sustained by people he gave his explanation when he was giving a keynote speech at the world cultural festival in the us um he said that um he explained that these traits should be sustained right when it comes to diversity and multiculturalism because of human imperfection greed selfishness and dishonesty war violence insecurity poverty criminality and evil in one form or the other so he says some would want to blame this diversity for multiculturalism and using these points to i'm using these to point out the failures of multiculturalism and he's saying that that's not supposed to be so it's supposed to be like a strength for us you know um that if he said he said that to have gathered about 180 countries is to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity which god which is of god god is is a god of diversity and not sameness i like this idea because again every time i look at nigeria he says if god had created sameness in the world it would have been a world of monotomy stillness on excitement dullness boredom god created a world of diversity and wonder for us to enjoy and live happily in it you know so we must sacrifice love kindness good will brotherhood sisterhood messy forgiveness consideration for others and love um and love and the fear and fear with respect for our creator like he said so many things but i i feel like sometimes when we talk about nigeria and the fact that we are a multicultural nation a be a multi tribal or whatever it's supposed to be a strength for us but i just don't i don't i still don't understand why every time especially when it comes to political seasons you know we always bring that card of where you from where you this where you that in our strength because if we were all alike if we all thought the same this world would truly be boring right the reason we have a diverse team the one that is thinking left the one that is thinking right the one that is thinking up the one that is thinking down is for when the eventual end product comes it comes out very rich you know but every time when it comes to diversity tribalism starts to play out and all of those things people start to bring away you coming from and all of that i think let's start to embrace the originality of what multiculturalism you know and our diversity the strength that it wields and you know and you know i'm sure that by the time we understand that strength we'll be able to you know fly further all right we'll take a break now we want to bring in david today to discuss the certificate saga stay with us we'll write back


Wow. What's up everybody? Once again is brand man Sean and today I want to talk about and basically start a new series covering specific artist resources and tactics and things like that because I had a couple of conversations recently, two different conversations where I realized some things that I thought were obvious and a lot of people know already people don't necessarily know. So I want to make sure I cover those bases. Number one is SoundCloud reposted networks. I've talked to people recently who had no idea what those were. So I want to first say I'm going to do this a little bit differently before I talk about it a little bit more extensively. I want everybody who's watching who has any kind of experience with these to kind of detail your personal experience in the comments below. Maybe some point out some good repost networks or repost pages that you've used so other artists can use it at their resource that way people who don't know about it or people who just use it once or twice can get the experience from different angles and make educated decisions by themselves based on watching these people's experience in the comments. Appreciate it. That's going to be super helpful. And of course we also know there are scams out there and that's another reason it's good for everybody to share the information because some of these pages are trying to make a quick come up. Definitely not all of them, but just some insult to quickly define or to explain the resource network is basically you have your music on SoundCloud and then you either have an individual reposted or you have a whole network of individuals reposted. Some people will do it just because they like your stuff. And some people will, you know, say, give me that money. And a lot of people, most of the times you're probably going to pay them some form of money either route works. Anyway, that's basically a short explanation for those who didn't know what it was already. Everybody please make those comments and help each other out. Anyway, once again, as I said, I'll be doing things about specific tools and websites and all kind of resources throughout this series. I don't know how often I'll do it. But that's it. Stay tuned. You know what to do. Hit that subscribe button.

So Uh, but without further ado, shannon has a friend with her Shannon, uh, who who will we talk about? I'm gonna let you do just the whole intro. You you can do it Let's do it Before we start Now i'm like, I have to make this really good. Um, because you talked this up, but no guys, so this is danny and um We've been hanging out. So we actually met through, uh, I don't even want to say it was infinity war But like the premiere vibe. I think it was endgame when we finally like yeah, it was actually endgame That was the first time i actually met you. Um make a long story short on that one I talked about an adventure in patience. Um, that was that that got really wild Real quickly. Yeah, that was an event and it really kind of Occurred for the fans up there. It's because of this one up on here So that was really cool. Yeah, so we um, we kind of like connected through that and then turns out He's actually working on some fun stuff right now for dr. Strange. Um, which kind of It's just ironic considering we were Hollywood You know, it's it's looks like a start on this one because you know, I don't have the bug or the talent or equipment Like he's not like a cosplayer cosplayer but like listen, he's working on dr. Strange and there's some cool stuff That he's going to show off here. He's working on the book. Um, and he like collects a ton of stuff too because Just like, you know figures toys posters like incredible things. So I've worked for a toy distributor Before we go too far Whatever we if we ask you something that you can't talk about something like that just say Hey, I can't talk about that or uh or something But I know we uh, you never know and it might be inevitable that something comes up, but so so before we before we get too far Um, who are you like, what do you do? Where are you from that kind of thing? Where can people find you? So before we get too far Danny I'm sorry on that one. Um, Dan assembled. So you found me on instagram. I just that's where I just kind of tag a lot of my stuff up over there whether it's uh stuff I collect events I go to That's just the general fandom that I'm involved with that's kind of really my um outlet up there Um, most of which uh, just kind of shenanigans that I get involved with just being a fan that has money to spend on himself Um That's kind of what happens on there. So dan underscore assembled you'll be able to follow that as well. Um Well, facebook could just use that with my veteran friends about it Yeah, in a nutshell, that's it. Um I'm pretty straightforward I know not all too interesting, but I mean I could get there You know, I've been a huge fan of marvel. That's kind of where I why I ended up working where I am right now Um, just as a career, but marvel cinematic universe has kind of been my baby for the longest time um First attempt I ever had was going to one of those premieres was that infinity war, you know infinity war Prior, you know, of course before endgame Infinity war was nuts to see all these heroes on the screen at one time. That was a milestone in cinematic history I don't care if you like superheroes or not.  Hey, that's what we have never seen something like this Um, and then endgame hit we're just like All right, this is getting wilder. Um, and I think really It says a lot when you cry during certain parts of marvel movies Yeah, so here Cryer Sometimes you gotta have a good cry. You just cry it out. It's love.  Anyway, you know what I mean, uh, So so that's pretty cool. So when um, I just want to jump in real quick I know I'm supposed to do this at the end because of rules, but I'm saying screw the rules Andrew, thank you so much 10 bucks Uh, this is for the hydro fun because everyone's tired of Oreos or Hydrox fun. I don't know how to I don't What do you say? But everybody's tired of Oreos. So I appreciate that 10 bucks. Thank you so much for But all right, so so when Shannon says you're working on stuff right now What what are you gonna do? What what kind of stuff are you gonna work on? So, um Just I've always had since the first Doctor Strange came out. I don't know what it was about. I'm like It's weird because I never really was interested too much in the comic series itself reading that since Old enough to remember It wasn't not interesting, but I was really kind of Um more engaged with X-Men Spider-Man and the Avengers overall Come, um, Benedict Cumberbatch taking on the role as Doctor Strange That moves just blew my mind. It absolutely Went wild real quickly. I was working at a movie theater at the time and We had our employee screening the first thing that we said when we came out is we're gonna deal with some sick people We're people gonna get some vertigo people gonna get the Disney's up there and of course it happened, but it just It just kind of stuck with me. It's still one of my favorite movies. It's my top three So with multiverse coming out with multiverse of madness coming out. There's a very real possibility Um, well, I'm not going to jinx it. There's a very real possibility of something good occurring. So he has to Long story short. He has to make a cosplay now So nice not only that it ordered my cosplay up there. Um, got some stuff already my friend Can I can I shout him out because he already did my friend? He's a 3d printer as well. You can find him at sinister props Um He did the sling work As was yeah, you're pretty solid so, um Painted all himself sat that over but then I ordered my costume and I'm like, okay. How do I want up this? So I was thinking I was watching a movie again for like the upteenth million time And I'm like the book of cagliostra right there looks amazing How what can I do with that? I'm like, do I know how to bind? Parchment into leather yet. How can I work that? So I was just kind of up one night I was going through etsy because etsy's a gold mine with creative Fingers up there and I found this Um the store on there. I'm definitely going to shout out roof. Uh fab works. So what they do Ruth that is making is books that have those hollowed out interiors You know, you can hold hot stuff and then here. Let me go ahead and touch on down she made This right here Yeah, so this is where we're he's starting and then he is modding it though. Yeah, so I'm definitely Ruth's got the talent I'm just gonna augment I guess you call it tinkerer you got lights you got we're adding he's adding a ton of stuff to make this really cool The medallion on there Nice, it's a combination of woodworking painting and 3d printing, which I think was really cool and of course I'll open it up. That's where it's going to house the electronics in here. I'm going to put a false bottom on there just to kind of clean it up and um You know make it look a little bit more pretty Sure sorcery Yeah, but then um, I install hopefully you can see that and yeah, you're good. So I kind of drilled And installed the lights in there Yeah, so that lights out. Oh sweet. That's cool Well, that's awesome So did you put did you put uh every led in so you just so it's actually I've I like to work smarter not harder. So what I ended up finding Um on amazon was was just very much was just very much the light strips and these things are terminal Yeah, so I just took a dremel on the back side of it itself and kind of Let's go ahead and look at that. I know it looks like a just a mess right now, but I carved in some, um Trenches in it to kind of see them Oh, and that's what we have just the continuous strip on there I did them to seed points so we can have them operate independently So I wanted to you know have one sequence going fast Where you're going slower just overall just softly. Yeah steady boom right there So that's the current project Um Yeah, let's just uh again fab words.  Um Yeah Spread the spread the love, you know I have some pretty fun pretty fun stuff hiding right up this way At uh another person in our community sent me it's a full star lord outfit. We talked about this before about star lord one day and um And I'm I'm super pumped I I need to get that stuff out and like display it somewhere like on a mannequin because I just think It's so cool to see Stuff like that and I mean even what you're doing right now is more than a lot of people take on like For instance myself, uh, I love printing. I have a lot of fun with printing I just I don't have a lot of time for projects. So when you see something like that, it's really it's really fun And it sounds like you're having a good time doing it Well, I just put on my spotify and it's all marvel cinematic Just go starling and you know Get to work Yeah, it puts me in that's why I was like I was all hyped when I saw benedicts and I'm like So you're down so so let's let's dive into that So he was getting his star and you guys went down because that was what's happening Yeah, so like we like I said, um, you know, we met feel like going to premieres and stuff to kind of uh get like autographs and pictures and whatever and um We found out like what like four days ago that he was no we found out like I think it was like thursday I was like a thursday or friday. Yeah, and then i'm like That he was gonna get it. Let's go ahead. Yeah, like the last minute said let's go um now because of covet He's not doing like autographs. Yeah, he's very cautious. Yeah, but We didn't I honestly didn't even think he was gonna come over to where we were because the stage was like way far to our right Um, and then they got like the fans like off to like the random sidewalk, you know, like in the middle of hollywood but he came over and uh, he took a picture with a little kid I think that was like calling him spider-man, but you know, it is what it is You know every every every hero spider-man in that kid's eyes, right? Yeah, I mean honestly I was just like benedicted to my birthday and he took a picture with me That's awesome. I would like to I'm not much one to kind of like toot my own horn, but I definitely said I'll toot I'll toot a little bit I was definitely making a little bit of a ruckus to get him to notice. Yeah over there. So he was very Definitely, it's the name of the game. I think if he didn't even know we were over there May have very well not seen us. Yeah. Yeah, so it was yeah It all kind of like came together and like a theme this weekend, which is really cool I don't know. That was really all there was to it. Um Kevin Feige and uh JJ Abrams were there, but we didn't see them on our end. So Yeah, I think we're just there to support uh, benediction. Yeah. Yeah And I think uh What's cool is that you know being a part of that anywhere whether it's at a comic con Uh or something like you're doing anytime you get to see and meet people that we You know in our community like we look up to a lot of the people like they're larger than life to us Kind of right. Um, and it's so cool when you actually get to you know, put that together and meet somebody and Um, I think you posted that picture somewhere, didn't you? Oh, yeah, can I share that Shannon? When it happened because like usually I wait but since it was a public event. I kind of didn't care It's on instagram and twitter and stuff. Can I can I share it?

Let me turn this down He's like digging a tunnel like the fbi will not be showing up. I I I mean I guarantee Geez, she started digging a tunnel in your house. I don't know Um, the bodies are what I'm curious is what it does to the foundation foundation of the house, you know Uh, yeah, I would think that you would need like permissions or something for that. There has to be permits involved. Yeah We don't need permits. Oh, he's got a train. Look It's an old mining. It's an old it's turning it into an old abandoned mine That's not like it's cool, but it's also like I feel like this is gonna turn into like a horror movie. Yeah.  So Essentially, he's going through here you go there He's trying to this is this is awesome. This is outside of his house And he's like, yeah, there you go. He's drilling I love it and if we keep going forward you can see a little more Um, looks like he's got some supports in there.  I don't know like like he's underground still other people's property or does he have like the right to ground now That's a good question. That's a good question. Like how far down does your ownership go? Right Andrew Rogers says everything he does is bonkers. It's cool. What bonkers That's crazy imagine like living next to him and like finding that out later like I mean, can you imagine buying the house and being like, you know, hey, there's a there's a Many fridge over here, but if we slide that over you can go down into a Little tunnel that they use apparently like him and the neighbor or friends is like, this is how we escape the wives Isn't this like how like home started his like house of horrors Sarah Johnson has a very valid point. How secret can this really be right now? Yeah, but I want to point this out. Is this how the bat cave started? Oh, I mean, well, I don't know about the bat cave, but it'll definitely turn into the beer cave Okay Yes, would would you say this is bonkers or this is bonkers? I love it. I love it. Uh, can I get a link to this? Yeah, there's a there's a link in the description But I will do this just for you guys Boom, there's the tweet. Um everything that we show there's a link in the description of the show That'll take you to a google doc. You can see everything in episode 93 that we're showing off Um, but very cool. A great idea and he definitely goes far for his videos Oh, he already has an underground bunker nice So this must you know be an addition uh to his underground bunker You get your man cave and it doesn't really like yeah impede on the the house itself you just go underground to escape reality I think it's a I think I got a subscribed because Andrew, uh Yeah, Andrew Rogers is saying the all this cool stuff that he's doing now. I now I need to know Uh, now I need to know all right. What's next giant? Uh, api api in his backyard. So I don't think uh, I think his neighbors are used to some things now There you go. Um, this next one here geek mom project says it had to be done um Ben, what's up? Myers wood shops in the house. I finally caught alive Hey, welcome to welcome. Welcome to the live.

I just want to know why I'm not I know I'm not saying like there's a bad thing about this. I'm just curious Maybe uh doll houses Maybe this is how they catch one player Okay Never stop to think if we should I love it. I think it's such a cool idea a little baby lamp with Definitely, I mean it's definitely you can scale it up You need new lamps at your house. Yeah print full-size one I love it very cool. Uh, all right Tom llama I 3d printed four inch line cyclone dust separator. I'm assuming this is for his cnc Um, this is gonna be big print when it's done.  Thank you Yep, that's the I think that's the 3d printed one There's a scale banana inside of it. There's the scale uh scale banana on the rim. Let's just uh do one of these Whoa, whoa too too far too far Uh, but yeah, that's that's a that's a good size the cyclone dust separator I love it. Don't forget. Um, don't forget when you start doing your stuff dan. You gotta have a banana for scale Uh Noted very very important. Otherwise. I mean otherwise, how are you gonna have a scale? I That's the official hot makes banana by the way Every time we go over one of these everyone's question is like, how big is this or like, you know, how long did it take to make? Exactly it's a very common question It's a very common question how big is it and then as long as you put it next to a banana, um Yeah, you can see how big it is But that's like an actual banana scale, right? It's got like units of measurement on it. Yeah the uh This particular print if you print it with um If you change the layer color in the top, I think it actually does have like actual measurements and everything on it Are you eating a banana now? It's pretty awesome. All right guys. We lost him What? It made me think of that Um That's cool. Do you like bananas scale banana right now? Oh I haven't opened it yet. I was eating my nuts Here's a good there's a good chris perello Oh boy All right, here we go All right last but not least max Over a metalhead printing uh felt so good to get this done. This is way overdue. It's on the cr 30 This came out way better Then it could have hoped or then he could have hoped to sorry about that um We do this real quick. Let's see if I can pop this open So it's kind of hard to see in this picture.  This is actually I believe four or five four different prints off the cr 30 And you can see the layer lines are you know going this way So he started out and each one of the sections Was printed on the cr 30 and then he put it all together to make this giant Picture here and it's basically a deer, you know looking out from the trees Such a cool idea the the customer or the person you made it for wanted it in black The scale is enormous. Uh, it's obviously bigger than max there and um I don't know. I love it. I love the idea of the cr 30 or the belt printers You know printing something giant like this and then putting something together making it even bigger whether it's swords or A picture like this um We we we gotta get you a uh belt printer that would be good me Yeah, then you can print like long props. Oh my gosh No, I keep I got that question a lot on the bow and yeah guys the bow's been delivered by the way Nice Yeah, everybody Pug wash says I can't see how big it is without that banana. So, um, absolutely true. You want a banana Nice work, uh, nice work max. This is really cool.

Welcome back to another Photoshop tutorial in this one. I'm going to show you how to create this cool fake shadow or synthetic shadow or basically just a shadow effect. I'm going to show you how to do it in about 90 seconds. Like you're kind of looking through the blinds at this lady. So here we go. That's kind of creepy, whatever. That's how I roll. Okay, so first step, adding your image like I've done here. The next step is you want to go over to your left side here and you want to grab your rectangle tool. We're going to go ahead and create some rectangles about and make sure they're a little wider than the image itself and these are going to be basically like the size of the shadows. So I'm going to go up here to the top now. I've made my rectangle and I'm going to change the fill from white to black and I'm just going to get rid of the stroke just clicking on this no stroke here. So there we go. We've got some, well we've got our first shadow so to speak. I'm now going to go back to the move tool and I'm going to hold down the alt or the option key and when I do that you're going to see double arrows pop up and I'm just going to pull down and what this is doing is basically just making copies of it. So I'm just pulling them down straight down and I'm going to go ahead and just make four copies for the hell of it. Again, you guys can adjust the sizes and the number as you see fit. Now we've got these four copies. I'm now going to go over to my layers panel. I'm going to hold down the shift key and I'm going to make sure that I've selected all four of these rectangles and I'm going to go up here to the top and you're going to see this here. It's called distribute vertically. What we want to do is we want to make sure that they're evenly spaced apart. So there we go. We've evenly spaced them apart and now I'm going to go ahead and click off of that. So there we go. We've gone ahead and done that. Now I'm going to click out and here's another thing you can do. Go over here to the right side. Select all the rectangles again and making sure you're just outside of the one of the written text here. Right click and we're going to go to the bottom here and we're going to merge the shapes. So they're all together now. Awesome. Cool. Now let's get cracking. The next step here is I'm going to go ahead and click and hold down the command or the control key and when you do that you click. You'll see here if you zoom in you'll see these little white and black marching ants. What we've done is we've made a selection of just the rectangles. Nothing else is selected on this layer. Now I'm going to turn this layer off believe it or not.  I'm going to go down here and I'm going to click on this and I'm going to go ahead now and create a brightness and contrast layer. But before I do it do keep in mind that if you look at the image you'll see that there's some white and black marching ants there. So that's what we're working the brightness and contrast on. Click on that and nothing happens out of the box. Watch this. Drop the brightness like I've done here and go ahead and increase the contrast. Set those up as you see fit and now you can see kind of where this is going. We've gone ahead and we sort of made this shadowy type effect. It's not correct yet. What you need to do now is making sure you're selected here on the brightness contrast layer. Click on this little mask button here. It looks like a camera and now take the feather way up. So I'm going to go ahead and just really increase it. I'm going to increase it to about a hundred and something to make it look like it's really really blurry. Okay. So we've increased the feather. Now we've got a realistic shadow. The last thing you can do is you can just hover over here making sure you get your move tool selected and you can either make these bigger or smaller depending on what you want. I'm going to make them a little bigger and then I'm going to go ahead and kind of tilt them and now look. So I'm just making sure that it's gone through something like that and press the let go. Boom. We've gone ahead and we've added in a very cool shadow effect. That's all there is to it. Thanks for watching.


Okay in this piece we'll be applying clear epoxy resin to a mounted puzzle. These puzzles have been glued to thin wood with craft glue. I have them raised up just to make sure that they're perfectly level and the resin will self-level evenly on top once we pour it. So just mix up equal parts of the resin in the hardener, stir for three minutes, and you just pour right onto your puzzle. Don't be afraid, just give her. Grab a spreader, push and pull the resin around so that the entire surface is covered. I find this a really fun step. Just whip the resin over the edges for a nice finish. You notice there are bubbles rising in between the puzzle pieces? Don't worry about those, we can get the bubbles out really easily. Just keep watching it, sometimes when you do puzzles you need to actually torch a little more than usual. Okay cover, let's sit overnight. Perfect. So after all your hard work putting your puzzles together, this is just a cool way to save it and display it for good. See ya!
