What do you say, I'd love to hear your thoughts on, a lot of people, when I talk to a lot of people about Bitcoin, they bring back the whole like, yeah, well, a large majority of your decentralized system is now mined almost centrally in China by very few organizations. What's the Andreas' response to that? Well, the Andreas' response is that in order to understand the consensus mechanism, you have to understand that there are five constituencies of consensus. And none of them has complete control over the system. All of them have to agree. You have the developers, you have mining, you have exchanges, you have wallets, and you have merchant services.  Now you're mining a chain that has no economic value for Bitcoin that you cannot exchange, sell, or use by any products and services. So, really, there's a balance there. And in fact, one of the significant points of balance is that the vast majority of development, the vast majority of startups, and the vast majority of users are in the Western world, and the vast majority of mining is in China. That's a beautiful balance, because that means that... Not only does that mean that the Chinese miners can't take over, it also means that the Western developers can't take over. It creates a balance of power. I think that's a good system. Now, I don't think it's healthy to have all of the mining centralized. And I think there's a lot of centralization in mining, but as I mentioned before, I think that is an artifact of the very rapid increase, almost a million-fold in performance over a period of the last four or five years, from CPU to GPU to FPGA to ASIC, and from 40 nanometer down to 16. And now we hit a wall. And now when you have 2X every two years, that changes the system dramatically. Everybody slows down. And we're going to see a re-decentralization of mining, I think.


Hey guys, how are you this morning? Yeah, let's see Grab a couple of brushes I'm a little bit behind as usual. I don't know that that's unusual for me All right, let's see Okay, that's in the way over here somewhere. All right We have four more paint brands to do a To paint with to try actually doing a painting with something besides what we've been doing in our swatch book and Sorry, I have like three conversations going on at once. It's another three cup of coffee day I think I've had three a three cup of coffee day every day this week. I don't know what's up with that But anyway, I just yeah, I don't know So we have praying Peerless which is in this folder here and then we have royal and langnickel and brush show in this palette So I Initially thought we would just do two of them this morning. We might do a four-part painting. I'm not exactly a hundred percent sure I'm gonna need that And I also wasn't sure what we were gonna paint and then I remembered I had this notebook of flowers I actually got this on Amazon As a used book. I didn't pay very much for it I think something like a dollar or less and It's probably intended for somebody who likes to do gardening because it has pictures and descriptions of the flowers and their habitat and entomology just in all of that and You know, there's a place to do your own drawing or put a picture. I don't garden So I got it for the photos for reference like my bird book And I thought this morning. We would either do a corn flower, which I thought was pretty Or a carnation I'm kind of liking the corn flower this morning Especially because I think the purples might be a challenge with some of the paints we have but it might be a challenge in a good way So I think we're gonna try that so I'm gonna prop it up against my tape drawers back in there So I can see it and This is my watercolor journal, which I've been working in since last year and we'll do a little bit of a flip through here My tables too crowded, okay I did as we're doing the flip through I will say that I thought at some point that We might start doing watercolor in More of a mixed media setting not that these aren't mixed media because technically they are because you've got watercolor ink This is like Stipillo pencil and you've got regular pencil sometimes color watercolor pencil But I thought we would do them in a more regular Art journal page setting if you've bought something from me from a Etsy shop You've gotten a postcard with this image on it or this image on it. I Actually have to order more of those. I'm gonna actually put some more of these images on different postcards print some new ones That might go on a postcard. I really like this one. Let me know if you guys have any questions If you like the idea of doing like mixed media pages with watercolor, let me know mixed media journal pages and Going forward we may alternate between working in this book and working in the doing journal pages And I am in the process of trying to get my hands on it a few A few paint brands that I've been wanting to try that are not ones I've gotten so I'm working on that So these are what I have some of these are you know some of these I like some of like, you know, not so much Some of their you know, it's an experimental thing and I like some of these journal pages and you know Even the ones I don't like I learned something from and that's the point Is to learn the chat is awfully quiet this morning These are ones that I did when I was working through my Gene Haynes books And I have some more work to do through her her books if you like the style of painting I really do recommend that you pick up one of her books Hey, Lisa. Her name is Gene Haynes H-A-I-N-E-S. I thought we would do maybe a four-part painting like this one But with some flowers if y'all like that idea Or like how I did this one My dog bandit If you've been watching me for a while, you've heard him in the background He's noisy And this is the one we did last week So I thought that we would skip this page for now. I'll come back to it and That maybe we would do a four-part painting on these two pages Put my coffee out of the way So I don't dip my brush in the watercolor because that would not be good. All right. Let's get a pen out And let's divide our page Let's see do I want to do it in pen or pencil that would be the question. I think I want to do the dividing in pencil I'm just gonna eyeball it. No no measuring and then we're gonna take a pen and write the brands on the bottom So what brands did I say? Okay, royal. Let's see Okay, don't do what I do I have this habit of putting my pens in like wet acrylic and then I Narf up my pens like all the time Like see I think I messed up this pen the last time I used it and that's like an expensive mistake to make so don't do that Whether it's wet acrylic or wet watercolor Don't do that Leave this pen out and see if I can save it. We'll see sometimes cleaning the nib with a little bit of alcohol Works not always All right, so now we're gonna take our pencil and we're gonna do like we did with the bird or any of the drawings We're gonna do a rough pencil sketch. You could do it in regular pencil. You could do it in watercolor pencil I'm gonna just use a regular pencil. I don't I like the lines to stay on there. I think they help Suggest the shape that I want it's up with this pencil sharpener It's not like I don't have other ones. I've got like 20 pencil sharpeners up here Every time a company sends me pencils or crayons. They send me a sharpener This one is from Faber-Castell. I think yeah So I have lots of pencil sharpeners Okay, this one works pretty good and it's nice and it's compact This one normally works good too. This is a Prismacolor this one I bought I don't know what's up with it this morning It's probably just user error Okay, I like these cornflowers because they're kind of weed Kind of like a weed shape, you know, like they remind me almost of a thistle, right? I like that So we're gonna just Sketch in Just loosely Loosely sketch in some shapes When I'm doing these four-part paintings Prismacolor one. Oh, yeah, I like the Prismacolor one I like actually my favorite one is the silver Prismacolor one that opens in the middle This one This is my favorite one Because it does three different sizes of pencils. So you almost always have The right size sharpener. I Just trimmed my nails this morning in there. Not exactly filed correctly. Anyway All right So when I'm doing these four-part paintings, I like to put some of the flowers Right over The separation line so half the flower is painted in one brand and half is painted in the other brand and I'm using the drawing in the book for inspiration. I'm not Exactly copying it. These flowers have like jaggedy leaves Jaggedy, is that a word jaggedy? Hey, Danielle, how are you finally broke down yesterday? And I joined cat cat hands mixed media morsels Facebook group because I just couldn't Hold myself back anymore. I love her idea of the mixed medium morsels and I will be doing something with that coming up Probably over the summer Only because I just don't have time to do any filming for that right now So I like that where the flowers like overlap like that Yeah, I can't I can't wait. It's such a fish fabulous idea that she had and like Michelle Mitchell, I have a bunch of coasters and I did start doing some mixed medium morsel stuff on some of the coasters I think I'm going to continue with that. I always intended to turn the coasters into a journal of sorts, so I think I'm going to use cat hands Idea For what to do on the pages Yeah, and also to get myself refreshed with Techniques that I've forgotten about because I haven't used them in a long time. We all have some of those don't we? There are some fabulous artists on YouTube and I'm constantly finding new ones every day Okay, so we're going to just when you do these four-part paintings take some time and you know Really sketch out your shapes don't if you want the painting to turn out decently don't rush this part and But also, you know, you notice I'm doing lots of loose sketchy lines. Nothing is straight. Nothing is even My art is definitely not about perfection I like to suggest shapes rather than be realistic with them and because I don't erase my pencil lines I like to have them help me suggest the shape of whatever it is that I'm Painting hello angel hello Amy and don't be afraid to get out your paints and you know Doodle along with me paint along with me whatever you don't have to do the same thing. I'm doing just have some fun So we're doing corn flowers this morning We're going to do a multi-part painting in each sex vertical sections I'm going to have a different brand of paint in it and these are the last four brands of paint that I have To do this with at the moment. There are a couple more brands I'm trying to get a hold of the companies these particular companies didn't want to send me paint so I'm gonna have to buy them which means that I have to wait for funding Money, it's all about money, right? It's all about the dollar So that's an interesting composition. So I like that. All right I'm trying to keep up with the Facebook. I mean the comments the chat While I'm painting which is always a challenge. Okay, so we're gonna put all our brushes over there We will I kind of did these in an interesting order because I have royal and brush out in the same palette I probably put it should have put them next to each other, but that's all right So we're gonna get our paints wet here And we're gonna put down some paper because we don't want to I'm a messy Artist and we don't want to get royal paint on the part of the painting where it shouldn't be. All right Now just as a reminder I have in my spray bottle of water for my watercolors a few drops of Oxgall liquid This aids in the wetting and flow of your watercolor paints and it really does Work very well Hey, honey, how are you? I'm The Netherlands I am trying to get the flow sketchbook Shipping to the United States cost more than the book. Holy cow Sent them an email you reminded me, honey So anyway, Oxgall liquid It really does aid in the rewetting and flow of your watercolor paints and you only need three or four drops per cup of water So you just need a little this one little bottle is gonna last a long time And you can get it at any of your arts and craft stores Hobby Lobby Michaels and I used a 40% off coupon. So I didn't have to pay full price All right, let's start with a big brush And I am going to now Like with lots of these other paints, you know, we're working with limited palettes and So I'm going to take the purple that's in here, which is a violet And you see it's very very blue I want it to be more red So I'm going to mix it with some crimson lake, which is kind of a pinky red Oop, that's too much So I'm going to add more violet That's better Okay My table is just not big enough this morning. It's me having issues.  All right. So let's start over here With this flower and I'm going to put this color In the center of the flower And then I'm going to grab Some water Hey, jerry We're doing a four part painting. We're using the last of the brands of paints that we have that we haven't used yet We are painting some cornflowers purple cornflowers And um, I just splattered paint all over the section that should be praying paint. I just splattered royal paint over there. So, you know It's gonna be one of those mornings So now I'm just dabbing in some darker Paint and one of the ways to lighten up watercolor, of course is to add more water And depending on the paint you can see if it lifts well or not. Some colors stain fairly quickly The reds especially I'm gonna take some of the prussian blue that's in the palette And I'm gonna put it here in the center of the flower And you notice I'm using kind of a big brush. So that's another way to force yourself to be More expressive when with your painting is to paint with your non-dominant hand Use a bigger brush that you have less control with It forces you To have less control which can be a good thing And you notice what I did. I didn't even think about it. I painted the whole flower with the same color of paint I told you guys i'm just off this morning Didn't I say that I've said that a few times So we got most of it off. Now you notice this is royal and royal is a student grade paint But it is a good quality student grade paint. So it did stain a bit But we'll be able to work with that So this is the violet and if you've watched some of the four-part painting videos That's not the first time I've made that mistake and just continued to paint into the other section So if you've watched the four-part painting videos you've seen me do this before So with your watercolor always start lighter And work your way darker add a little pigment Then come back in with some water To blend it and spread it out Now up here. I want to I don't want to get necessarily this green Into the purple too much because we'll end up with brown not that that's a bad thing because we're painting foliage But I don't necessarily want tons of it Hey chouchetta. Hey, how are you? I was saying earlier for those of you who are just joining us. I've either had too much coffee this week or not enough Probably too much because I just feel off this week I think I've had three cups of coffee every day so far this week Hey, michelle We're painting some cornflowers this morning. We're going to do a four-part painting right now. I'm using royal and langnickel They are an affordable student brand of paint decent quality a little bit more opaque than I would like but That just depends on the application if I'm doing cards and tags or something like that Then I might want this kind of paint You notice I'm not blending all my lines I am leaving some of them to suggest marks No, you didn't miss too much. We just barely got started just me chattering on about how I've either had too much or not enough coffee All right, we have a darker green here. We have a deep green So I'm going to add some shadows with the deep green. It's going to blend a little bit with the other green and we're okay with that So I'm just barely touching my brush to the page Light touch no digging any holes to china with your paintbrush You don't need to do that I'm going to come in with some of the same prussian blue that I put a minute ago Prussian blue is a great color cool shadow color. I think I have a little bit too much of this green down here So we're going to lift it Or in in Gina's painting terms blotting. I'm okay with using with using the term blotting Not all watercolors are I have a prinston nap tune number 14 round This is a large round brush. I did pull out some smaller ones But I thought it would be fun to challenge myself this morning With a little bit less control because that's really I already feel out of control this morning if I thought, you know, hey Let's do more of that I do have some smaller brush brushes available I like the way that looks so far. I am going to take some of the blue and some of one of the greens and do that And get paint all over my desk.  It's had a little bit of a chance to dry not it's still pretty wet But that's right. We'll make it work Now when you you know what I'm doing any of my paintings. I'm using the photo as inspiration Does that mean I'm in a copied exactly? No I'm going to do something artistic from the photo if I want an exact copy. Well, my daughter's a photographer I'll have her take a picture for me That's not generally what I want to do. I like the way that looks so I'm going to stop there Now what we have to do though is clean our palette because this is the wrong kind of paint And move on to our next section Close this up for now And these are praying semi moist half pan watercolor set This has 16 colors in it. And this is a very affordable student brand of paint and these semi moist ones are not bad I got to tell you guys I'm going to get them wet Okay, and let's start with the flower now in this one. We have a nice pretty Red violet color already So we're going to start with that And I got to say, you know the other set I like those paints, but it didn't have this color in it Um, and I could have spent more time mixing it of course, but this is a pretty color And I like I've already said I like these praying paints, especially if you're just playing with watercolor and you're not you know In any way shape or form going to be serious about it And you just want to play and do an art journaling thing I think the praying something like the praying are a good choice. They're very affordable And this is the I started out with praying paints Hey, Anne When I first started playing with watercolor I had I used praying So I'm just adding more of the blue violet to the red violet So that we can sort of get something that Is similar to the other side of the flower See how hard it is to Make a painting Look cohesive with different kinds of paint. All right We have this little bud here So I'm going to put down some pigment And I'm going to grab some water I am blotting off my brush because I don't want it. I want it wet, but I don't want it sloppy wet At least not right now And if you get too much or you put some in the wrong place just do most of that paints Will lift they won't lift completely, but they'll lift a little bit But I like them to look messy and Spotted and blotty and That's one of the things I like about watercolor. So Why am I thinking of the clown from Simpsons like it looks like his hair I don't know what that clown guy's name is because I'm not a big Simpsons fan, but You know that crazy clown guy. I don't think that's a good thing This is the red violet still. I'm just still playing with the violets getting it close to where I want it to be And then we're going to let it dry a little bit and we're going to work on the greens Okay, so let's work on the greens now for the greens we have Green yellow green and blue green. So we're going to start with the yellow green Because I think it's close to the green that we used from the royal palette Yeah, I can't think of his name this morning But you know the clown guy I'm meaning is now that I put the bottom of the flower and it looks like a flower But before I did that it kind of looked like his hair Okay, so again, I'm barely touching the brush to the paper and you'll notice with this Princeton Neptune brush That it really holds a lot of paint and I've only dipped it in the one time and look at all the Painting I'm able to do it holds a lot of pigment and water And this is not an expensive brush and no they did not send they didn't pay me To say this and they didn't send these brushes to me for free. I bought this brush And when you buy a good watercolor brush You can do this kind of thing with it and this is a synthetic brush So so those of you out there who you know don't like to use brushes made out of real animal hair This one doesn't have any it's synthetic Thank you So those of you who are just joining us. We're doing a four-part painting using four different brands of watercolor paint to see what kind of um comparison that we can do side by side and the unexpected thing that I'm liking about some of these paintings that we've been doing is that um, some of them I you know, I like them they look like studies like field notebook entries and um, I'm kind of liking that so if you Buy things from my etsy shop and you're a collector of the art postcards that I get printed look for some of these to be Um featured on some of those postcards because I will be Soon hopefully reprinting uh printing some new postcards and some of these will be on there I like the Neptune brushes. I'm a big fan Nep Princeton Neptune and Princeton select are my two. I think favorite brush brands brush types So this is the blue green And again, this is the prang semi-moist half pan set prang makes a few different sets The semi-moist is Wow, excuse me Burping up coffee. Um is closer to an artist grade Our artist quality paint. It's not exactly but it's closer And they supposedly do have some light fastness. I don't know exactly how much but I'm gonna lift up some of this up here. It's a little too much Blending blending pushing and pulling the pigments around There we go. I like that better No worries. I'm still here. I'm gonna be here for a while. We've got two more parts to this painting to do So I'm not going anywhere anytime soon Yeah, thank you're welcome. I know you wanted to hear that this morning. That's why you joined me, right? So you can hear me burping up coffee I think I've just had too much coffee this week. I think that's what the deal is So we're just adding some shadow and dimension to our stems here By adding different colors of green and blue green This is a number 14 Princeton Neptune round Yeah, probably it doesn't and you're probably not wrong Okay, so now we're gonna do just like we did with the other one. I'm gonna grab some clean water And kind of just take all my greens Put this here Okay So those two Look, you know, I like the way they look. They're pretty comparable. I think this is Royal and Langnickel. This is Prang Okay Next Is brush-o So I'm gonna leave this open and I'm gonna stick it on the shelf above the camera When you've been painting and your palette is wet, don't close it up Let leave it open for a day or two and let it dry out before you close it Otherwise, they may get moldy Carefully do that. So we're not gonna hopefully smudge anything And now we're gonna grab the brush-os Oops Now with the brush-os, I don't have I only have a few colors. So we'll have to just make it work with what we have I really should get one more piece of paper over here because you know, I'm just having one of those mornings when I'm really messy So everybody uses brush-os By you know dropping them into water and I just wanted when I Got these brush-os and these were gifted to me by a youtube fan. Lou Jean Martin Uh Eugene if you're watching this live or the recording. Thank you very much and she sent me some brush-os in um little bags and I love them, but I wanted to use them differently Than everybody else does so I took them and put them in a palette I mixed them with some gum arabic to make them into more of a cake um that I could re-wet And use as a regular traditional watercolor and that seems to work very well Now I'm going to take some of the This is olive green It was so sweet of her now the brush-os that was just a little bit of it. Look how pigmented they are They are so pigmented And they re-wet very well. They mixed with the um Gum arabic nicely and um this is a ranger palette that's intended for Uh ink alcohol ink and um I put the royal in here royal and langnickel in here and the brush-os in here and it's working working great I gotta say And I just put a little tiny bit of brush-os in here with the gum arabic. You don't need a lot They are so pigmented. Okay, so let's get this started here So i'm gonna start with the green just because um just because I don't have a reason just because Because that was the color I wanted to start with because it probably because it's the color. I know I'm gonna have to do More fiddling with and I'm gonna want to Um That just a little bit. I'm gonna want to let it dry for a little bit before I do add more colors to it So I'm gonna try to remember to go up to the line, but not over the line I'll paint the base of the flower here And then we're gonna come in. Oh, bye. Bye cha-cha. Have a great day So now I'm just going in. I'm just this is just water The brush-os are very different than your other watercolors. They're very highly pigmented They're nicely transparent. I'm not sure about the lightfastness if you for those who are worried about that Um, if you've been watching me for a while, you know, I'm not always concerned about that This is the 21st century. So if you create a piece of art Art that you really want to save for posterity scan it into your computer Now look at all those varying shades of and tones of green that I've gotten with just the one color I'm going to zoom in for you guys You see that right here That's just the one color of brush-o paint and look at all those different Colors that are in there. You see some blues some yellow some green I do Zoom back out just a little bit. There we go I do use them and I've used them in here before and they're nice and there is no reason this particular Painting we're doing this morning. It's just about watercolor. But when I'm working on um, and I'm not doing this particular demonstration um I frequently use water soluble pencils markers crayons All in conjunction with my watercolor paint This particular green is the brush-o. This was olive green. I mixed it with a little bit of yellow Not too much though Hello, sana. How are you? and um, yes, I did hear from a friend a long time ago who was very into photo preservation that um, if you're going to save images on your computer for posterity That you should really save them as a tiff file t-i-f-f and um That was the best way to preserve them And then if you needed to post them to social media or share them somewhere You could take a copy of that and save it as a jpeg um Hi, sorry you said that already I Let's see So this is the purple that I have which is a nice red purple and we're going to start with that But we're going to have to um add some Blue to it maybe to get some depth of color. We'll see maybe not So you notice I'm just putting the pigment on And now I'm just spreading it with water now now look at that. That's just the one color I didn't mix it with anything. I didn't blend it with anything I just I'm adding water to it and I'm getting all these different shades of color out of the one brush-o color And that's something that I really don't see with lots of other paint brands Some of your daniel smith brands that are made with precious minerals They do this But other than them, I um, I haven't seen any a lot of other paint brands do this And it's pretty interesting Trying to remember not to go over the line Those of you who are just joining don't know that I already messed that up with the first two sections No worries No worries the brain gap. I got a brain gap all over the place this morning. So please no worries We're gonna add a little bit of ultramarine blue to this and try to darken it up a bit I'm leaving this white space down here by the stem because I don't want to Get too much brown And if I mix the purple with the green I'm gonna get brown. So Yeah, mine either, you know, and that has to do with the fact that I have anxiety disorder I'm pretty open about that And the more stressed out I am the worse it is just, you know, and not that it's not that way all the time because it is but Just so for those of you who who, you know, don't know I have anxiety disorder. I'm pretty open about it and um One of the signs for me that Things aren't going well is I can't remember stuff and The worse that gets the more it Is usually a sign that I need to remove myself from whatever situation is causing me to have problems Thank you so much So now I'm taking the darker blue green what uh, this is emerald So I don't have lots of brush-os, but I do like them I like them very much I could see me adding some brush-o powders more colors to my Stashed at some point because I I'm enjoying them very much I only have yellow scarlet olive green emerald turquoise ultramarine blue purple and light brown And I know they don't make a ton of colors, but I do know they make more colors than that I actually like that and I don't want to mess with it anymore But what we're going to do is of course take some water over here And I'm going to I'm going to be careful about how much brush-o I take because I want to splatter, but I don't want it Too strong. Yeah, yummy Um, you know, I haven't I haven't done yet Um, and I was talking early on in the broadcast about how I'm thinking um Going forward if you guys want we can alternate weeks between working in the watercolor journal here Which is technically a mixed media journal because frequently I'm using pencil Watercolor pen markers rubber stamping or whatever But we can alternate between working in this and working in Like my small delusions on a proper art journal page with watercolor and some other mediums if you guys want Um, and I always thought that these brush-os would be fun to drop into other wet watercolors wet ink Maybe even wet acrylic paint. What would they do? I always thought that would be so I do know that's something I want to experiment with on the brush-os So again, I'm going to put this up on my shelf. I'm going to leave it open So that it dries You know, I I can't say that one can never have too many palettes because I Don't I've lost track now. How many I have I did get asked last week by one of you to take a picture Might have been Cindy.  He might get mad when he sees all many palettes I have I will have to remind him that I didn't pay for all of them But yeah I have I've lost track I remember I still have my two giant round palettes that I bought from row back grow backs And I have the small twinkling h2o's one too So here's our three parts All right, let's do our last one is peerless now, you know, the peerless have good and bad points like all paints Um, they're nicely portable.  This was made for me like by pita thompson. Otherwise known on youtube as miss lady pedal and You know, that's kind of a pain if you have to like I don't know glue the little pieces of paper into a book um There's also not a lot of paint on the little pieces of paper Some of them like the cobalt blues almost already empty So they're not it's not my favorite But that being said if you're just taking it traveling and you want to take a lot of colors with you in a small space Peerless is definitely probably the way to go because look how flat this is.  It's a great travel palette. I wouldn't use it for an everyday palette, but it's a great travel palette All right, let's see what we have here in the way of purples You do have to swatch them because they all the pieces of paper look basically black except for the yellows So if you don't swatch them, you have no idea what color you have Yeah, yeah, I don't know that he'll buy that A little creative. I'm not sure he'll buy that I could try He'll prop I mean, you know after 30 some years. I think he'll just roll his eyes and shake his head at me But I don't take the money for them out of the household budget. I paid for him. So So this is amethyst And I'm going to mix it with a little bit of the pink that's right here That's a better color for what I want Now peerless were originally developed for coloring black and white photographs From what I understand I don't know much about their lightfastness, but there it should be a link to peerless on the watercolor wednesday page on my website Which is gena b errands.com. Just google my name He probably will add Um So just google my name. You'll find me all over the place, but the website is gena b errands.com There is a watercolor wednesday page now one of the announcements. I wanted to make this morning Is there is a new watercolor wednesday fan page?

This is grass green So the one of the biggest challenges of these four-part paintings when you're doing, you know different brands is Matching the colors. You'll never get them to match exactly 99 times out of 100 So I just go with what's close We also have some new design team challenges that are going to be coming out for may With the rubber stamp design team of which ann and cindy are two of the design team members Um, so look for that. I'm going to be typing up the rules Or suggestions later today. I hate hesitate to call it rules because that makes me too bossy I don't like to be too bossy Um, let's try Viridian Which is yeah, that's more blue turquoisey color We had our first, um Submission to the watercolor wednesday fan page by stefanie parks She is a youtube fan. She doesn't do facebook or social media But she does follow me here on youtube. So stefanie if you're watching their live Broadcast or the recording. Thank you very much. She did some fabulous tests Um of the watercolor she had now she only had one brand But she came up with some unique tests that she did with the one brand that she had Yeah guidelines. We're going to have some guidelines for the Design team. Yeah guidelines. I don't want to be bossy. I need some blue here. So we're going to flip over to the blues And we're going to go with arctic blue sip of coffee okay Yeah, I'm naturally kind of bossy so It's hard for me to not be bossy, but I try It is one of those Character flaws I try to control Unless I'm talking to like AT&T or Verizon or somebody and they piss me off That's not dark enough Let's try this one over here. I have this deep deep says deep blue Yeah, that's better The one thing I find with the peerless is you have to work at it more to get a contrast in color Um, they don't blend as easily as other paints And it's hard to pick up a lot of pigment off the that little piece of paper. They're not my favorite. I mean, they're they're okay But they're not my favorite that's pretty good Yeah, it probably is and I'm italian scotch and irish all of those are bossy And my husband's german so stubborn, you know, our daughter has no hope All right, I'm gonna move my flower book before I do any more splattering because I've already got it wet a couple times So there we go four part painting So you notice it was easier to get depth of color with the other brands It's harder with the peerless Let's see.  I swear to god I'm trying to get it to look less clown hairy It's called a corn flower I'll show you the picture from the book in just a second. Let me get there. Let me get this Let me work on this flower a little bit That's good. I'm gonna stop because I'm gonna just make it worse It's okay. I like these over here better. I think that's part of the problem All right, I'm gonna put this down here. So here's our book that we started with and it Hold on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There we go. Okay. So I got this book on amazon. I did buy it used It was only a I think a dollar or two And it's just a notebook of flowers. It's attended for somebody who likes gardening of which I am not one And it is the purple corn flower. Let's see And I have a couple of these books that I've just bought because they have interesting flower Um photographs or draw or artwork in them Now one thing I would do with this piece is I would come back Now that we're done painting I'll put that back there and let's grab Pink and purple gel pens So if you notice on the corn flower, there's some like stamens in the middle Of the corn flower, you know little Hairy stuff.     This is from Jet, uh jet pens. It's a sakura Decories The rest of it's in japanese. I don't know but it's actually it's by sakura.  Okay, that's as close as we can get We can get the camera can't get any closer without me taking it off the tripod making y'all sick But this adds something really fabulous to You know your flower and you like I said, we're mixed media artists I don't feel like, you know, somebody's selling you.  Now you do want to wait and till your, you know paint dries before you get in here with your markers You know, or you're gonna end up like me where you're gonna end up ruining lots of markers But adding a little bit of gel pen or some rubber stamping or something adds a lot to paintings like this And I don't tell you guys not to do something very often But when I do it's because I've already done it wrong and messed up a marker or a pen or something Oh, you're welcome. Good night, hanny Glad you could join us Now jet pens does have this white pen and marker bundle That they sell over there and that's where I got this Sakura pen. I'd never heard of before I'm having a white gel pen in your watercolor kit is great for going in and adding back highlights if you've forgotten to leave white paper because you only have a couple of choices for Leaving white having white space or white highlights Let's leave the paper white to use a white wash or to use a white marker or paint pen Yeah, I don't like rules I'm not a joiner and I'm not I don't like rules That's not my bag So that just adds a lot that adds a lot. I'm gonna lift the book up so you guys can see These are I have jelly roll pens The new Sakura pen and these other pens. I think these are just from They say super gel Something I think they're from target And there's a delay in the camera. So I'm waiting for it to catch up There you go So it just adds a little something I do think the white gel pens Um or a white paint pen you could do this with a white paint pen like a posca pen I would use the really fine one um The one pc1 mr posca pen, which is a super fine tip Let's see if I want it to open So this is the This is the posca um I think they're easier to use than the gouache. I don't think any one of them is better than the other I think they're easier I'm not going to ever say don't go bother with the white gouache because I have white gouache and I like my white I always have Chinese white or something on my palette um that I My favorite palettes always have that now when I'm traveling I would rather bring one more color and a white pen Because space is limited and I like to not have to mix tons of color all the time So I would rather bring one more color and then bring a white pen and I don't think My travel palette has whiten it I could be wrong, but let's let's see If you try to empty markers and gouache Um, I haven't um, I don't know that that would work because the gouache is going to want to um harden and dry So I'm not sure how that would work if it would stay liquid enough to not clog the pen up Oh, see I do have white in here most of my favorite palettes have white in them And white that Chinese whites a good color for mixing Because the gouache is going to want to Harden it's not going to want to stay wet now. The other thing too is when you're buying gouache If you're going to buy some gouache to add to your Um collection of a watercolor paints Make sure you're buying a watercolor gouache not an acrylic gouache the acrylic gouache is going to harden up and Um, it does not rewet. They're two different animals Does anybody have any questions? Don't you love baby wipes makes cleanup easy I palette away. So I took all these brushes out and I only use the one that's pretty typical of me Um, I do have This other brush I've been using that I'm actually really liking they're inexpensive This is a Utrecht brand, which is a division of dickblick And they have their own brand of brushes and I got these two watercolor brushes.  I have a brush problem like I have a paint problem This is just the bucket or round watercolor brushes Um, I have ordered the gene hanes dvds. I have not had a problem with them playing That being said I usually play them on my on my computer. So I don't know if that makes a difference Sterling Edwards is a good brand. Yeah, I um I have a couple brands of watercolor paint I need to get to try and one of them. I'm having trouble acquiring which is old holland So, um, yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna I'm working on it I might have to just back order the a little small set and wait for it to come in Yeah, I'm gonna have to order it from Jackson's. I'm gonna I want to get one that's already in a palette I don't want to have to get tubes and put them somewhere So I'm going to work on that Well You know, I don't I agree with that statement for the most part I cannot have too many paints or brushes of the ones that I love But there are ones over this journey called mix media that I've acquired That um, I acquired a bunch of them and then discovered they're not my favorite. So um Yeah, so I would I would Caution you when you are watching anyone Hi When you're watching anyone on youtube or you're taking a class Just because the teacher's using a particular product Doesn't mean you have to use the same one Doesn't mean that you have to buy every color in that paint or crayon or whatever Um get just if if you're it's a new product Buy a couple in your favorite colors and try them If you decide you really love them then go buy more There are lots of products like gelato's. I love I love my gelato's don't get me wrong But there's lots of other products you can use instead of them that are less expensive I have not tried the versatil brush Probably because it hasn't been on sale. I do have a couple of really expensive watercolor brushes Okay, like this one Raphael soft aqua this little brush I think it was this one is was 65 dollars And I you know Oh, maybe it was this one see I have a couple of them. I bought I think I bought three of them And I spent over a hundred dollars on three brushes and the problem with that is they're fabulous brushes I love them. They are sable. They work fabulously They're I'm sorry imitation squirrel I love them, but they were so expensive That I have trouble using them so I find a lot of things from jackson's art are cheaper even with shipping than anything I can get over here um So I jackson's art.com for those of you who don't know is a uk art supply company And they carry a nice selection of empty metal watercolor palettes. They're cheaper than the ones you can get here They have um Lots of paints and things that are cheaper than what you can get here So go to jackson's art show them some love And um, yeah, I wow no way I'm not sure michelle. Wow. No way to what comment that I spent that much on a brush. I know I have trouble using them there. They sit up there, but they're not the first brushes I grab So I tend to use things that are inexpensive um, that's the first and last time I'll do that because um Yeah, it's just Yeah, I shouldn't have done that So when I tell you guys not to do something it's because I've already done it wrong most most of the time You know when I first started I thought oh gelatos I have to have one in every single color and I own one in every single color. Do I need all those colors? No Do I use them? No? I actually prefer some of the lesser expensive like target watercolor gel crayons and um Sparkle gel crayons to gelatos so You know watercolor paint is the same. So if you want to try watercolor paint try Decide what brand? You want to try that you're interested in there's a million of them out there. They all have their good and bad points Decide what your price point is decide what brand you want to try Get one or two colors if it's a if it's an expensive artist grade brand get one or two tubes of paint If you want a minimum number of tubes Get a primary red primary yellow primary blue white and black You can mix a lot of colors with those um, you can get cyan yellow and Quinn magenta And you can mix a lot of colors with those um And then if you really like them and you really love them Then add more paint to your to your palette But don't go out thinking you have to have a million tubes of paint when you're not even sure you're gonna like it And if you're just going to use your watercolors in conjunction with other mixed media projects and card making Then I would say go with something less or expensive like a koi Uh palette koi is a great one. We've done the koi Um somewhere I don't know. No, I know I've done the koi, but I don't know where Um koi is a good one.  I scan it and I save it as a digital file someday Then if it fades I've got a copy of the way it looked originally And I yeah, I would just do primaries and white white and black And that you only really need and you could get away with no white and black Just do the three primary tubes and that you'll get a lot of use out of them And then if you like it then buy more colors The flower pages the single page this one Yep, I I have both van go and winds are newton and I like both of them I've I have yet really to meet a watercolor paint. I don't like Um, I'm not crazy about the whole line Um, they don't read wet well, and I'm not crazy about their pre uh the peer list because there's not a lot of pigment there to play with Um, this there is a video on this. They're in the watercolor wednesday playlist So go go look at the watercolor wednesday playlist because it's on there All right, that's it for today guys. I'm going to go try to run a couple errands before I have a friend come over for some um, tutoring art tutoring And uh, I will see you all later Have fun playing with your paints If you have friends who have watercolor paint, especially if they have different brands than you think about getting together and having a painting and swatching party And everybody bring their watercolor paints to share And you can do some of these four part paintings with each other's brand of paint so you can try other brands Then what you have and to see if you like them Those are fun kind of parties And that's when I break out my big round palettes when we have those kind of things All right So that's it. Don't forget the most important thing You all know what that is, right? Have a great day. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it Maybe buy some watercolor paint All right, I'll talk to you all later. We will be here monday live noon at noon pacific daylight time for monday with deco art Uh-oh thunder and lightning and rain and that's not good. That means it's headed this way All right, I'll see you guys all later.  So last minute question so no so If you mix your three primary colors, you're going to get a dark neutral It won't necessarily be black. It depends on what What colors exactly you're using to mix they can But you have to have the right colors of blue red and yellow and you have to mix them in the right amounts Depending on what color of blue and what color of red and what color of yellow you're using and the amount that you get You you put in there Um, we'll give you a different kind, you know, you'll get a different neutral So you'll always get a neutral. It just depends on how the amount of the pigments you put in and which pigment exactly you're using You know, if you use prussian blue and alizarin crimson and um, yellow ochre, you're going to get a different Dark neutral than you will if you use ultramarine quinacridone magenta and lemon yellow I'm the only way to figure out which ones are going to make a dark black ish color That you like is to play with your paints I prefer not to mix black. I prefer to have a black or a pains gray or Neutral tint in my palette. So this is a good last minute discussion before I go off the air so Start out by buying three primary colors And by white and black. I recommend the five tubes of paint As you paint if you find you're mixing a particular color a lot Or pains gray. Yeah black or pains gray if you find say you're trying to mix turquoise all the time Then go back to the store and add turquoise to your palette If you find you're mixing pink all the time go back to the store and add pink to your palette That's how you should that's the proper way to build up a a paint palette for any kind of paint whether it's watercolor acrylic doesn't matter Pains gray is my favorite neutral.  It's more interesting than black because it's bluish gray ish dark color I also like neutral tint because it's similar to pains gray, but usually a little bit more transparent So for my palette, I would pick probably cyan um a bright lemony yellow Probably like a quidochrome magenta pains gray and chinese white. That's probably in any brand That's usually the the colors are close to those that I buy Yep. Yep. And each one of those different shades of primaries, you know, going to give you a different blend And the only way to know is to do I do recommend Do you know do it like our swatch book? Where's our swatch book? I do recommend creating a reference book Of whatever paint brand that you have Yeah, and you need to in your book do some tests you need to do if you have more than one brand do a comparison You need to do some sample paintings You need to do some blending tests One section you should probably add to add to your book If you're especially new to Painting and blending is a chart where you've blended a particular color of paint Like say turquoise and then over here you've made notes about which colors of paint In approximately what amounts you mixed to get that color And and then you have a reference sheet And you probably should have it out every time you're working on a painting and you mix a new color that you like Make a quick little swatch and make a few notes and then keep painting And then at some point you're going to build up a nice reference book for yourself But the only way to figure out what colors in your palette are going to mix any other color is to Do a book There's no shortcut. If there was a shortcut. I tell you guys, I love a good shortcut I'm the lazy crafter remember. I'm not the frugal ket crafter. That's lindsay I'm the lazy crafter All right, that's really it. I got to go I got to go run some errands and go to the bank And I probably should do some chores although it's not high on my priority list All right, that's it for right now I will talk to you guys later. Have a great day And I will be back monday with monday with deco art and in the monday with deco art. We do the same kind of Paintings and process and color blending Except with acrylic paint. So if that's more of your speed, I'll see you monday All right. Bye guys


Sayo Hashimi here. We're going to talk about how you can improve your productivity as a.NET Core Developer in Visual Studio for Mac. In this video, I'm going to show you a couple of new features, as well as some features that have existed for a long time. So please definitely do stay tuned. All right. So first, we're going to start off with some new features that we've added in Visual Studio for Mac 8.3. Let's start with launch settings that JSON support. This is a JSON file that you can have in your project, and it defines how your application will be launched either for run or debug. Typically, you'll set your ASPIN.NET Core environment here, either production or development, or any custom value that you might have. You can also define any additional environment variables that you'd like. So here I've got devadmin.example.com for the admin email. Then we've also got the URLs that the application will be listening to. You can edit it either directly in the file, or you can right-click the project and select options, go down to run configurations, and then I'm going to go into default here. Let's go ahead and make some changes here. So I will change this from example.com to contoso.com. Let me switch over to the ASPIN.NET Core tab, and we'll modify the URL. So we'll change it from 5001 to 5011. All right. Now we can see that both of those changes have made it into my launch settings.json file. Let's take a look at what we get when we run this. So I'll start without debugging here. All right. We can see that the application is now up and running, and the index page just displays the value for those two environment variables, ASPIN.NET Core environment, and admin email. You can see that the new email has come through here. All right. Let me switch back to Visual Studio for Mac, and then we'll move on to another feature that we've recently added for 8.3. So let me stop debugging here, and you may have noticed this while I was running through the previous demo. So here we can see now we have a browser select option here at the very top toolbar. So you can pick whichever browser you'd like to be launched for a particular project at that time. Right now I've got it configured for Microsoft Edge, but let's say maybe you had a report that your website is not rendering correctly using Safari, and now you're working on that bug. So you can just switch over to Safari, and then say start without debugging, and then that should launch Safari with your application inside of it. All right. So now we can see that instead of launching Edge as what it did before, now it's launched Safari, and we can party on the application using Safari or any other browser that you'd like. Let me go ahead and quit out of Safari here. Another feature which has been added recently, it was previous 8.3. I believe it was in 8.2. We've simplified the ability to configure multiple startup projects. When you're developing web projects, it's very common that you need to launch more than one web project. Maybe you have an API project and a web front end, or maybe you have two web projects that have some sort of interaction together. So yeah, let me show you how to launch more than one project. You right-click on the solution, you go into set startup projects, and this behind the scenes will create what we call a run configuration in Visual Studio for Mac. So I'll go ahead and select create run configurations here. At this point, I can see all the runnable projects that are in my solution. So I'll check both of these web projects. One thing that's important for web projects, if you want to launch more than one, you need to make sure that they're not trying to listen on the same URLs. So let me go here and my EnVivar demo project is listening on 5011. I'm going to go to my other web and just double-check that that's on a different port before we get started. Okay. All right. So this one's listening on 5002. Okay. So we can see in the default toolbar here that multiple projects has now been automatically selected. We can go ahead and click the play button to start debugging this and both of those projects should be launched. Okay. We can see one of the projects has launched in Safari just because I just configured it to launch in Safari, and the other one then launched in Microsoft Edge here. So that's what we got going on. So that's how you can set more than one project to start on run or debug in Visual Studio for Mac. Let me go ahead and stop debugging here. Also, if you wanted to change the browser when you have more than one project, you can use this experience here so I can switch back to Edge for that browser and also to Edge for this browser. All right. So that was setting multiple startup projects. Another quick productivity tip that I have for you is using the Navigate 2 input field here. We have a dedicated video for Navigate 2, but wanted to raise awareness for this feature here as well. I can definitely save a lot of time. The keyboard shortcut to get into Navigate 2 is Command-dot. So for example, let's say if I've just made some code changes, now I'm ready to start debugging this. I can say I just did Command-dot and went into Navigate 2. I'll say I want to execute a command, so I'll prefix it with C colon and then start. Then I can see debugging, so I'll go ahead and select that. All right. So now we can see both of our projects have successfully loaded in Microsoft Edge as we expected, and like I mentioned, we do have a video dedicated to Navigate 2, so we'll definitely link to that in the description below. Now let's move back to Visual Studio for Mac and we'll go through a few other productivity ones here. So the productivity one that I want to share with you today is or at this point is to learn keyboard shortcuts. So learning keyboard shortcuts is something that can definitely speed up your development process, and there's definitely a few keyboard shortcuts that you want to learn and know, so I'll go ahead and share my favorites with you. So let's start on the build menu here. So one is definitely build all, so we can see that's Command-B. One that I just showed you previously was Command-dot for Navigate 2. That opens up kind of a plethora of options there, and then start debugging is Command-Enter. Also, I'd like to start without debugging too, because there's a lot of cases where I just want to see my website or I just want to exercise my console app. So start without debugging is going to be a little bit faster than start with debugging. Let's take a look at some more here. We've got the open command, so that will open a new solution or project, and another big one is actually preferences here. So I kind of find myself going in and out of preferences occasionally to kind of change things or to discover additional features which I may not be aware of. So the shortcut for preferences is Command-Commas. Let me go ahead and use that, and now I'll show you how you can discover additional keyboard shortcuts. So I showed you previously, you can use the menu system to actually learn about commands and their keyboard shortcuts, but some functionality isn't available on menus or you may not see the keyboard shortcut. So what we can do is I've gone into preferences and now inside key bindings, you can search for any command that you want. Let's say for example, Format. So what's the keyboard shortcut for format document? So here we can see it's Control-Pipe. Let's see, is there a keyboard shortcut for Clean? So yes, it would be Shift-Command-K for Clean. So this is a very handy way for you to go through and actually learn about commands, and you can even set custom keyboard shortcuts. For example, Clean-All doesn't have a key binding here, so you can define a new key binding here that you like, and then you can go with that. All right, well that's all the tips that I have for you now. With the exception of one additional tip, check out aka.ms-slash-vs-mac-docs, one word. So that's where you can get all the docs for Visual Studio for Mac and keep an eye out for new videos in this video series. Thank you very much.


Hi, my name is Saul Ruiz. I am a senior at New Mexico Highlands University in the biology department. And this summer I got the possibility of doing a new Mexico EPSCORE summer internship, which was the encapsulation of algae. EPSCORE has opened so many doors for me. It's helped me so much. It's sponsored me. It's taken me further than I thought I could ever be. It's helped me so much that it really shows me that there is help for people and that somebody does care about researchers and undergraduates. It's really been a life-changing experience for me. So what did you think about SACNAS? Thanks to EPSCORE I was able to go to SACNAS, which is this amazing convention, and really present the research I was able to do over summer. It really was incredible and it helped me become a better scientist and really be involved in what I was doing. Okay, so what happened at the end of SACNAS? At the end of the 2014 SACNAS I received an award in biology for a presentation that I had performed on the research that I did with EPSCORE over summer. So how do you feel? I feel great. It's awesome.


You all remember the Jerry entity, right? You know the one that has like mind control powers and can mess with your head and make you worship it? Yeah, well I found an entire level where there's birds, just like Jerry. Everywhere! Sounds pretty fun, right? Hey everybody, I'm Broogly and today I'm gonna be explaining Backroom's level 712 or the Weald of Parrots. Without any more talking, let's get into the explanation, shall we? So Backroom's level 712 is classified as a class 2 difficulty and is unsafe and has the presence of Jerry-like entities, which pretty much means that there are powerful birds that live here. The level itself is a wooded field area that's covered in a thin mist at all times. The level is not actually infinite or even that big compared to most Backroom's levels, but it's pretty hard to tell the exact size of it because there's some weird non-Euclidean spatial stuff that makes it hard to travel around and find where the real borders are, which is actually something that lots of Backroom's levels have so it's not too out of the ordinary. The main type of vegetation that grows here is grass and there's also some old looking trees with very few to no leaves on them and the entirety of the level takes place on a large slope with a small area of grass surrounding it. An example of weird spatial properties on this level is when a wanderer gets sent here, they'll actually start on this side of the hill, but if you try to walk down the hill to the bottom and out away from it, you'll get teleported to the other side of that hill and you have to start all over again. It's almost like the level doesn't want you exploring it, which is pretty strange. If you walk up the hill instead of down the hill, you actually might find an exit door on top of it. The top of the hill just seems to be a sea of sunflowers. It's literally just a massive expanse of a massive sunflower field up there and it's in this sunflower field where you might encounter your first bird, but it also depends because it's different for each person who gets sent here. Some people can't even see the flowers at all. Some people just see a field of grass. Some people see just a door. Some people see a door inside of the sunflower field. It just depends on who you are, I guess. What is known for sure is that if you walk into the sunflowers and then back out, then they'll disappear and you'll never be able to see them again. So don't forget that, I guess. There are a ton of bird type entities that have been seen on this level, but of course the main type is parrot-like entities that are usually seen alone in the trees or alone on the ground. And there has been many specific parrots that have been encountered, which I will get into and describe thoroughly here in a second, but before I do, it's very important to note that you should never ever make physical contact with any of the birds here. Like, don't touch them, don't get close to them. Actually, don't even look at them. Just avoid them at all costs. The reason is that some of them have the same powers as Jerry, and if you get close to them, they can kind of bend you to their will and they can indoctrinate you and make you follow their own commands. If you don't know who Jerry is or what Jerry is, Jerry is actually blue parrot that pretty much is a god and makes people worship it. Pretty normal backroom's entity, right? Anyways, some of the birds here on level 712 seem to have powers that are very similar to Jerry. They're almost the same. And if you touch them, you'll be fully indoctrinated into worshipping that bird, spreading its beliefs, and doing its bidding for it. These specific birds that have been logged are William, Beth, Green, Tom, and Richard. And now I'm going to get into the explanation of all those birds. William is one of the more common birds that you might find here, and he looks like a typical yellow and blue macaw from real life, but looks can be deceiving, trust me. Because when a wanderer gets too close to William, he'll start staring at them sideways with this weird looking bird stare. It looks like he's looking into your soul. And when you get too close, he'll open up his wings to lure you into touching him, and if you touch him, you'll become a follower of his. Now, unlike the other birds that are here, and unlike Jerry, William will actually sit on the shoulder of whoever he just indoctrinated, and he'll be with him forever. Once a person is fully indoctrinated to William, they seem to be aggressive, and they will protect William at all costs, kind of like a bodyguard. On the flip side of this, you can actually tame William as well by using almond water, which is definitely a better alternative than becoming his slave forever. And to do that, you just have to reach out the almond water and hope he eats it, but you still have to avoid touching him, because you still get indoctrinated if you do. The next bird is Beth, who looks like a crested cockatoo, and Beths are the most dangerous birds here by far, and the reason is because they follow wanderers around constantly, and they continuously try to lure them closer and closer to themselves. Once Beth has indoctrinated someone, they actually become a food bank for that Beth.  Yeah, I hope YouTube doesn't get mad about that, but anyways, that's disgusting. I don't want to be parrot food, so moving on. Next is Green. Now, Greens are just green parrot like birds with red beaks, and these are actually the rarest bird type to be seen here, and they actually don't show any danger at all.  Some people say that you actually can be indoctrinated by a Green, and if you do, you'll actually get the ability to no-clip between any level that you want to without any difficulty. You can just no-clip anywhere, which would be insane if that's true, but if I'm being honest, I don't trust it. I feel like Green is lying or something. But I don't know, it might be worth it to be able to no-clip between levels. Tom is the second to last bird here, and he's a young orange parrot that seemingly has an ability to make anyone love him the second they see him. So, literally, if you see him, look at him, or whatever, you get this love for him, like he's your pet or something, or that you've known him for a long time. Now, Tom is terrifying because you kind of have no choice. You know, if you even just barely get a glimpse of it, you'll be loving him and you'll want to be indoctrinated by him. And people who are indoctrinated by Tom typically will succumb to the wretched cycle eventually because they forget to eat and drink, and they kind of just become zombies. So, good luck with that. The last bird that's documented here is a Richard. Now, Richard is actually an owl entity with a white face and brown wings. And he's only found in that sunflower field from earlier that's located on top of the hill. Now, Richard doesn't indoctrinate wanderers at all. Instead, he does the opposite by getting rid of the previous indoctrinations from other birds, even from Jerry's indoctrination. So, pretty much Richard can save you from being a slave to a bird, but the only problem is he doesn't appear to everyone, so you have to get lucky, I guess. Anyways, those are the birds that have been documented so far. There's definitely more here, but we haven't logged them yet. My advice is to just avoid this level unless you want to be a servant for a bird for the rest of your life. To enter the level, you can fall asleep on another foggy level, or you can find a hill on level 9 to be sent here. And to exit, you can either find that door on the hilltop or you can no-clip into the mist here to be sent to Jerry's room, which of course is where Jerry lives, so I wouldn't do that, but it is an exit, so use it at your own risk. That's it for the video. Thank you so much for watching until the end. This one was absolutely crazy and wacky, but I thought it was interesting and it kind of fleshes out more backroom's lore, which is always good, and I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for supporting the channel. As you know, I'm on the road to 1 million subscribers. If you want to see me get to there and fly to England to the level 1-8-8 hotel, then sub, tell me friends, family, and your dog, cat, parrot, tell everybody about the channel that way we can get there and we can fly to England to the 1-8-8 hotel. That's gonna be so fun. I'm excited to do that and hope you're excited to see it. Also, go check out my vlog channel and Spookly, my third channel. If you want more videos from me, I upload on those other two channels a lot and I really think you're gonna find something that you enjoy.

I love and appreciate each and every one of you and I will see you in the next video. Peace.


All right cyber traders welcome on back here this Tuesday post traders talk is always this Tuesday here this August 8th Great to see you Ryan and Ravina still with us here and great to have all of our members read joining us Perhaps inside the cyber group room a Thomas just before Brandy Ira Kevin mark Patrick Yeah, Charles just a moment ago Lawrence and Michael great to see you guys there too Perfect and if you're joining us back on social Facebook live LinkedIn the works as I like to say here welcome on back the same time So folks hey markets been kind of grinding on up here across the afternoon Honestly pretty slow pretty lackluster markets But you know, hey, hopefully the markets keep pushing up or covering find this a nice stock that that can move with it But that said as we're talking live right now as we're speaking till ray Finally just cracked over this huge iceberg order right now I saw that big volume spike come in this just broke through this big 700 near 800,000 and probably more than that at this point with market prints that could have came in but Right off of 296 297. I'll bring book map up in just a moment Actually, it looks like just a bunch at 95 and onward including what appears to be a lot of purple there But just really when you see all of that volume on the ask at 295 and then at 296 and it breaks over it Well, we're calling that buying so honestly that that could be a glitch on the tape seeing the purple there Just to say we had a big 800 or 750 plus thousand share iceberg That was just out there on the tape a moment ago or on the order book I should rather say it was out there since 105 Eastern time roughly So it pinned it down and ended up kind of playing ping-pong between these two iceberg orders here at 282 Bounced ended up moving back on up to the one at 95 here and then just now just blasted right over it So, you know, hey, if you were with us earlier in our trader stock workshop You you went through the whole explanation with me as to why I thought there was a chance for the pot stocks till ray In particular to make more of a cyclical run looking back on the long-term charts there But you know, hey definitely just as a day trade heading into this close looks as good as any stock we could find here So let me ask one last time for all of us here in the chat board Did anyone jump in on this till ray trade from earlier or just from like a little while ago at that 282 price You're in that trader in it right now. Just let me know chat back here You know, if you're not in that does not mean to just jump right in now But with that said it blasted over such big resistance at 95 there You know that your next one is up top at three just a few pennies away three dollars Yeah, if it breaks that then definitely definitely we have a nice game here to work with so, you know till ray We'll see if this could push higher at the top of the gainer side really is just a bunch of cheap stocks here So like 82 cent guru that was a bust from earlier this morning INFI VVOS we're not really gonna look at those honestly We'll just kind of sift through though. Otherwise see what else we can get so like for instance BRSH I did not see this until right now Maybe Richard called it out just before I stepped away from my desk just for a brief moment Nope, no, man. Hey, it's fine. Hopefully a lot more left on on this trade here You know made its first pop at two o'clock. So from there is probably low volume dumped back down Nice to see a higher high now the issue on this trade is what you're gonna see on the right side of my platform here Looking at level three. It's just on a bad spread very thin volume out there on the order book Reminded me a lot like the stock drug from earlier today, right and look what happened to that thing So, you know, I like the afternoon pop. Hopefully more eyes can catch on to this BRSH trade You know, I'll put it on our list for sure right now Just, you know, hopefully the order book fills in there till ray definitely on the top of our watch list TLR Why it's like the prototypical level one or two stock right now No, really any one of us could have and perhaps should have jumped in this earlier in the morning when we were calling it out Off at 250 there are plenty of other stocks out there from the morning that ran though So if you if you didn't make your money on till ray Then I hope that you made your money elsewhere just on different trades that we had the gorilla stock that we had before You know not shown just earlier, but Mara side list stock that's at the high of the day right now So there are other moves out there that we could have, you know, capitalized on or what could look to capitalize on here soon CRDF this one ended up just popping before but looks like it kind of died off I'm gonna write this down just for the side list come back to it. Just if we need to The gorilla trade will come back to this since it ended up popping pretty nicely in the morning session I ended up walking away with like seven or eight cent profit on this and then of course the second I get out the thing pop her back on up, you know, I waste a little unrealized profit figured Okay, let's lock up the last part of it about seven or eight cent profit Of course the second I get out it ended up pushing up more and more and more So, you know, I didn't want to jump back in on this trade It had tougher to read levels easy stock in terms of the order book the spread the liquidity overall Price but it didn't really have too easy to see levels on book map there. So just now earlier here Just ended up holding off from the VWAP roughly above two bucks and it's pulled back It looks like it's really looking to hold under that price for the meantime. So again another stock I'll just put down on the side here. All right. So now we'll kind of keep it moving here TDS ended up having a nice pop once again Ended up these things been on a roll the last two or so weeks Just I mean even dating back to Friday last week stock ended up popping from 11 up to 15 And here's the higher high today. So with that said, it's at the highs right now. It's hard to ignore this type of trade I'll put it on our main list. I don't I don't have book map open up for the stock though So once we finish up this meeting, I'll post a link for book map there Looking long term have a couple of dojis. Maybe they're at 1625 1745 a couple of prices there maybe to watch but otherwise this thing's been just been chopping around for a long while here So not really a long-term level to really keep your eye out there for you want to try and base it off of like maybe this year That's basically right at that 1745 I'd referenced So, you know, I maybe 1745 could be a historical level, but just look out for iceberg orders there up top at 17 All right BKD. Hey familiar name just former runner in the past wanted to click on it here $4.50 stock So I figured if it was up percentage wise, there's a chance it could look like this and it looks good So I don't mind this year as well BKD potential runner here into the close Not really treating a whole lot of volume per minute. They're only about seven or 8,000 shares a minute there But you know a nice trend. Hopefully more ice and catch on to it Saber Stock that we're kind of familiar with it's a little slow Weight watchers ended up ended up popping and dropping from earlier So we had this on our mean or on our side list going into the open nice move after the opening though But for right now will pass Sage hey eventually this would make a small little squeeze. I wasn't gonna hold my breath waiting for a Squeeze today per se but ended up leading to one right away out the gate nice pop You know the stock was down 55 50% yesterday So, you know, there's a chance to see continuation on the way down before potential squeeze But yeah, the little pop at first it hasn't really broken yesterday's high yet to enable a gap fill truly, but One I'm gonna write down also on the side list here All right, so let's just kind of finish up the gainers here. We'll hop over to the loser side next Silo from earlier. It's not doing much of anything there. I think that's pretty much it from the gainer side, honestly VK TX here at last last one familiar name the stock has been a runner over the last year or so breaking all-time highs But let's hop over to the loser side here, I mean hey markets haven't gone much of anywhere So didn't really find too much on the way up had a few stocks here and there that we have on our watch list, but See if there's any good shorts T wks thought works Nice little drop right now towards the low of the day. It is easy to borrow on my platform Does have a decent spread It is that all-time lows that I like the most out of all this so, you know, it has a short opportunity I don't mind slipping it on the back end of our watch list right now. This is this T wks And really a lot of last week's runners are still pushing downward and so the RGTI Had MF. I saw just there a moment ago Beyond meet maybe you could short that that's not at the low of the day even all right So I'll tell you what let's go to a couple of stocks if you're calling out before this meeting started We didn't start this meeting off with these trades, but you know lucid you're calling us all out over the last hour So after traders talk it finished up and a nice grind up here. It's up like 10% So it's gonna be hard to ignore for right now LC ID When lucid moves Rivian moves and I don't know if we'd called out Rivian just yet in the chat board I was looking at it just a little earlier on my side. No, I didn't call it out a rich didn't either But you know, it's up a little bit percentage wise, but lucid's the the better trade. It's the cheaper stock It's up more percentage wise so that I'll probably favor more, you know, Rivian's good side the stock though What else did we get here and neo not really doing much of anything now? I know ravino is looking at coin base earlier, you know good sideless stock for right now for $88 a share It's not really doing anything too special And then from here what I'm gonna do is just kind of zip down Benzinga pro looking down their scans here Seeing if there's any new longs or shorts that we could try and find You know a few stocks at the highs right now But one something that's worth our time showing good momentum right now and to be transparent and what we have so far I like lucid till right our hands are full with those two alone and then we have the others BRSH BKD TDS and that's short on the TW KS trade Mike says review on earnings today. Okay, it's good to know Great to see Bill here with us Bill Hope you're feeling well and I'm just wishing the best for your recovery So it's just back from the doctors to check my new pacemaker. So they'll hope you're feeling well my friends Checking YouTube right now. I don't have anything there and I'll tell you what folks I mean you got the BRSH just ripping and ripping and ripping since we last looked at it here Like I said, we have our hands full, you know lucid until right to begin and then now this thing trying to go much higher So, you know what I like what we got Listen if there's a sideless stock that you're trading out there inside our room keep it to yourself Honestly, I would stick with what we have right now Why why go elsewhere? This thing's up 70% and flying even if it does pull back soon Let's look for support and then of course if you didn't get your hands in on the till-ray trade yet What are you waiting for look at this thing try and push right now up to three So if this could break over resistance at three right here, we're soon enough There could be a really nice trade left from this point. So, you know hey right now Let's stick with with what we got here. We'll go down the sideless stocks. I doubt I'm gonna add these here at this point but Yeah, I mean that of all of these may be the sage trade because there's a potential gap to fill but I'm gonna pass on it. All right, so folks. Hey, I'll tell you what I'm gonna be on a coaching call at three o'clock up until 3 30 rich will be on the mic taking you all the way into the close here for later Lawrence Michael Ryan Revena and all of us here just joining us right now But have any questions that you got feel free to send over a quick private chat Let me know if there's any questions or trades that you'd want to go over with me on the side And then again for all of a sudden social media Facebook live linked in the works I always like to post my email here at the end Josh of c2 trading calm is the handle but otherwise though if you wanted to join Revena and Leda and You know Michael and Lawrence and all of our students there continue the audio commentary heading into the rest of the day Today or this week just scan that QR code with your phone just as it's popping up on the stream Of course if you're Leda Revena, etc. You're already there You don't need to click a link or scan a QR code But hey, otherwise scan that QR code on YouTube on Facebook on Twitter, etc If you wanted to join us we look forward to having you there But again rich will be on the microphone just taking all this going into the market close coming up here soon talk to you soon


Hey everybody this is Brian. Welcome to the first Flutter tutorial. You'll note at the time of this recording Flutter is still in alpha and is an open source project. Now version 2 is coming very soon and I'm going to try to adhere to version 2 so that going forward this tutorial set remains relevant. So first off what is Flutter? Well it is a mobile app SDK that helps you build pretty beautiful applications very quickly. There is an actual really nice fact in here that you should read and get accustomed to is, you know, what is it? Who uses it? What's it for? Answer some general questions right now. It's really designed to make mobile programming not suck. If you've ever tried making a mobile program cross-platform you've had just a major headache. Who's it for? Developers of all walks of life but mainly people targeting mobile development. Flutter is built upon a language called Dart which is a new language which I believe somebody correct me if I'm wrong was actually developed by Google. Or at least had a lot of Google backing. Google depends on Dart to make very large apps. You can see that there. So this has a few distinctions from other mobile frameworks. You can build cross-platform and this hacker new article I'm not going to steal all their thunder. But what's really differently is you have, you know, OEM SDKs where you have native code that runs on a specific platform. For example, an Android app will not run on iOS. iOS will not run on Android. You have web views which are kind of like a, I want to say a hybrid where you have like Cordova, Ionic, et cetera, et cetera. Or you have a JavaScript application that communicates with a bridge which actually communicates with the hardware. Then you have what are called reactive views where you have JavaScript which communicates with a bridge. Same thing talks to the hardware. What's different about Flutter is the Flutter SDK is really the only SDK out there that doesn't really use a JavaScript bridge. And it's actually very quick, very easy. I want to say very expressive and I want to say easy to learn. I'm currently building my own Flutter project. So I thought it would be nice to do these tutorials as I go. As you can see, it's built a little different. You have your native code which widgets are rendered and you have platform channels which communicate with the hardware. There's no JavaScript layer here. We will have to learn Dart programming. So the first few set of tutorials out of this whole series will be nothing but Dart code. So if you are a veteran programmer, Dart is very quick and easy to learn. If you are a new programmer and this is your first language, don't worry. I'm going to step you through this, but we will move at a pretty quick pace. So if you need help, definitely go out to my website, go in contact and be sure to join the Voidrums Facebook group. There's 1,700 programmers out there who can help you. And I should note that the source code for this in all tutorials will be out on GitHub. There's a link to my GitHub repository out on Voidrums.com. Alright, so first thing we need to do with Flutter is actually install it. So we're going to select our operating system. I'm on Linux. I have Mac OS in Windows. And I got to say they're all just dead simple to install. The first thing we'll need to do is actually make sure we have the system requirements. If I have X number of space, am I running this platform? Do these commands actually work? Yes, they do on my case. So without further ado, we're going to get this. Make sure I don't already have it installed. I do not. But you can see I already have Android Studio installed. I'll be developing on Linux. However, you can develop on any platform you'd like. Just know that I will be targeting the Android projects. All of the programs that we write should also run on iOS. And I may actually do some iOS programs simply because I have a Mac and I like playing on it. But to start off with, you should already have Android Studio installed. And you should have the IntelliJ Community Edition IDE. Now when you go to IntelliJ, or I'm sorry JetBrains.com, and you go to download IntelliJ, there's a couple different versions. Ultimate Community. You want Community because it's free. I'm not deterring you from buying it. You can go ahead and spend money. But I will be using the free version that way people all over the globe without any money can follow these tutorials. Alright, so back to what we were doing here. First thing we need to do is actually grab the code. So we're going to just copy that, paste it in there. And if you have no idea what this is doing, we're using a program called Git, which will clone the source code or the repository from GitHub. And that's the actual link to where we're going. You can actually follow that link and go out and browse all the source code for Flutter. But right now we're just going to install it. And this will take just a moment to download. Once this is done, you're going to want to actually set your path. And it walks you through here step by step. Now notice this command is only a temporary workaround. You're going to want to follow the directions for your operating system to make it permanent. See what happens is if you just do this and nothing else, when you log off and log back in, it suddenly doesn't work. To test this, we're going to do Flutter Doctor. Not Fluster. Flutter Doctor. I have got this wicked cold and it is just messing with me. These cold meds are just making me really loopy. All right. So you notice the first thing Flutter Doctor is doing is downloading the Dart SDK. So if you're working with Dart, know that Dart is a language in itself. And while this is downloading, I'll just discuss Dart a little bit. Dart is a full blown language. It's not just for Flutter. You can actually use Dart to create web programs, mobile and a Dart VM or console server applications. My hope is that someday they will actually put like a, I want to say like a desktop GUI over this. Sort of like C++ is cute where you have, you know, buttons and list views and things like that for desktop applications. I think that would just be amazing. So let's check on this. As you can see, it's downloading the SDK. It's building the Flutter tools and downloading all the other little things that it needs to run. And at the very end, you get the scorecard. Now, if you don't have checkboxes next to everything, you're going to want to investigate what it's, you know, what's wrong. And most of the time, it'll tell you flat out what you need to do. That's what I love about Flutter Doctor. So if Flutter ever acts a little screwy and you think it's not working right, just run Flutter Doctor and see what it has to say. Generally, you're going to get an output like this. Flutter on whatever operating system. You have the Android tool chain on iOS. You'll see both the iOS with Xcode and Android. You have Android Studio with a specific version. Now, when I say specific, it should be newer than a certain version. And it tells you the Java OpenJDK runtime and the IDE. Now, notice how it says Flutter Plugin, Dart Plugin. You probably will not have those. And what we'll need to do is go into IntelliJ and go into Settings. And you may not have this window, especially if you just installed it. Close that. I'm just going to say New Project. That's not what I wanted, actually. Go to Settings. I was trying to bring this up. If you have just the generic, you know, you've never opened this before, you may see a different window. So get into Settings however you can. Go to Plugins. And if you don't already have Dart and Flutter in there, click on Browse Repositories. And you'll want to type in Flutter. Mine, there's no button, but you'll have a button here that says either Install or Update if you already have Flutter there. So go ahead and install it. You'll probably have to restart the IDE. And you'll know that it's fully working when you see it in here. And when you can say File, New Project. And there is a Flutter and or a Dart icon here. So to begin our applications, I will actually be working with Dart. Notice how the Dart SDK is actually inside of Flutter. So go ahead and set up the Dart plugin for your IDE. And don't worry about this Dartium. Honestly, I'm not really sure what Dartium is. I think it's like kind of a help binding. But we're just going to be working with the raw SDK at first to learn the Dart language and we'll be using console applications. And then when we get into more complex apps, we'll actually be switching over to Flutter. So what we have here is just a general generic hello world kind of thing. As you can see, there's a lot of folders. You have an idea folder. You have Android folder and iOS folder, a lib with main.dart. Main.dart is actually the, I should say the index or entrance file. Basically, you need the main function inside of main.dart to run your application. And we're going to go over all this stuff in future tutorials. So if this looks really crazy, don't worry about it. We're going to cover it. So to recap, you're going to want to download and install Flutter. You're going to want to get a little familiar with the Dart language page. We're going to actually be going over the language tour. Maybe if I can find it, cold medicine. We're going to go over this pretty in depth. We're not going to spend three weeks talking about what is a variable. We're going to step through it fairly quickly, but there's a lot of information to learn. And I think it's going to be fun. Whoops, I was dragging and dropping something there. All right, questions, comments, concerns, please be sure to join the Voidrums Facebook group and leave me a note out there and I'll talk to you guys later.


We're gonna have two vehicles that are getting loaded up right now that are not mission-capable We just had two heads come To drop them off once This one gets loaded up with the trucker that cranes And my guys are gonna be over there once it's on the train itself. Then we're going to make sure it's Evened out on both sides Some of the tunnels are a little more narrow than others So when trains are going through With something that's oversized We try to make it perfect on both sides the mission that we have here is to make sure all equipment Whether it's inbound or outbound is received with no incidents or accidents safely with all Items being properly tied down so that we don't have incidents during the rail mission itself Make sure all equipment arrives in either destination in a working manner
