Patriot Prime here once again with another episode of The Sit Rep and I am proud to announce my guest for this evening's episode, the iconic Stan Bush. Stan how are you doing this evening sir? Doing great. How's it going? Going very well sitting there, sitting back, relaxing, waiting for this impending snowstorm that we're supposed to get this weekend. Oh my. Winner in West Virginia what are you gonna do? Well first off I want to thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me on the channel. As I said earlier you have been a big part of my life since 1986. I have constantly listened to your music up until today. Your music is in my jeep and I listen to on the way to work so I really appreciate this. Oh it's my pleasures. Thank you for the support. No not a problem sir. Now for everybody watching how this is gonna work like my normal sit reps I have 10 questions here for Stan though they're a little different than the questions I normally ask my viewers so I'm gonna go over my 10 questions and then if we have any time left I'll try to get answer some questions that you guys may have in the chat. So without further ado we'll go ahead and get started. If you're ready sir. Yep yep. Alright well question number one I have been a huge fan of yours since 1986 when I first heard you announce the arrival of Optimus Prime and Transformers the movie. What's it like being so well known for the song The Touch even 35 years later I guess 36 years later now. It's been a really cool ride I mean people tell me that that song had an impact on their life you know and really good stuff positive stuff you know maybe they were having a tough time of it and you know the song helped helped you know some in some way you know inspire them or whatever and anyway it's very humbling to hear that stuff you know and I appreciate it. No you're welcome I told Stan earlier behind the scenes when I first rolled into Baghdad I had one little earpiece and I played The Touch as we crossed that border just kind of psyching myself up.  Now question number two most of my viewers know you from Transformers the movie. Can you tell us a little bit about where your career has taken you since then and what is some of your proudest achievements. Well we'll see around the time of The Touch when we recorded that back in 86 there were a couple of other things I did the first two Jean-Claude Van Damme movies I sang three songs in each of those movies Bloodsport and Kickboxer and so those were you know some other stuff that I did that still sort of getting people still know me from that stuff and anyway during the 90s and all up until now I've been doing albums I just just released the newest one is number 14 so I've been yeah dare to dream that's good upside down too. Yeah anyway the during the 90s of course you know the rock music kind of imploded for a bit the 80s rock stuff that I do sort of went away when the grunge thing came but anyway seems to be back in a big way and what's cool is you know how The Touch and the Transformers it sort of became more of a big a bigger phenomenon later it you know it was like a resurgence of you know people into the the whole Transformers thing and of course the Bay films and all the other ones and the latest one Bumblebee used The Touch again and so that was pretty cool but yeah and then The Touch has been a bunch of other stuff you know boogie nice was Mark Wahlberg singing it so anyway yeah a lot of good stuff it's been a real cool ride it's it's whenever I do a show a concert Europe or here in the States yeah I can't do a show without playing The Touch you know that's the closer that's the you know and people love the song it's a really it's a cool song it's a great message and it sort of started off a whole series of songs like that that I don't know it almost became a calling for me to sing stuff that sort of helps maybe inspire you know give give hope and of course it's been a crazy year past year for everyone and you know we need a little positivity I think in the world yes sir Kato's on here and he just said yes they use The Touch in the show the Goldbergs too so I've heard that on Hulu is a great show yeah yeah all right that's awesome I love hearing stories like that all right question number three kind of ties into what you just talked about one of the things I love about your music is how uplifting and motivating it is and of course I just went and already told you that about going into Baghdad but with the uplifting sound that you do or you have was that your plan when you started out or did it just evolve that way it just kind of evolved that way like I said The Touch a lot of things started happening for me around that time people heard the I started becoming known as a singer and did a lot of stuff in LA commercials like Toyota trucks and Coors beer I was doing a lot of big stuff back then and singing on other albums like you know Alice Cooper and Jefferson Starship anyway it was it was a pretty cool time you know being called for a bunch of stuff and they were like I don't know maybe four or five of us rock singer guys you know the beer voice the big you know that did most of the big the big commercials back then but yeah as far as the inspirational side though it's there were each album I've done since then there's been you know two or three those of those kind of songs and I don't know I had this philosophy that you know each of us creates our own reality I mean we have more power way more power than we then we ever realize you know we can to make something happen and bring bring about good stuff in the world and I don't know I mean I don't I don't always get there but it's it's something nice to aspire to you know I think definitely what is a mythbusters Adam Savage would always say I reject your reality and submit my own that's good alright question number four as a veteran I really have to commend you for the song unstoppable any artist who creates a song is a tribute to the troops gets my utmost respect did you have any particular motivation when doing that song yeah actually my co-writer and friend Lenny Macaluso we wrote that one together and it was inspired initially by the the Boston bombing actually how people kind of came together and this this sort of whole new spirit emerged from that tragedy you know and it I don't know if you noticed in the music video for unstoppable there's there's people jogging in that that's that's in Boston that little clip from that yeah that that marathon but yeah it was unstoppable was a really cool video because it was basically a statement about the country and how you know we've we've weathered so much together as a country and I you know I love this country and I know you do too and thanks so much for your service I said that before but I'll say it again thank you yeah so you know it's just I think it's it's a great thing I mean to to shout out hey you know America's a great place definitely we got to get that song on the air right now we got to get everybody together again yeah yeah exactly because when we when we unite we are we really are unstoppable you know I will never forget September 12th that was the day I was proud of us to be an American you couldn't go anywhere without seeing you know the American flag flying everywhere and it was just such a sense of unity like like you said you know we all came together with this tragic event and I was so proud to be an American then and now look at us now I mean we've got to come together and that's one thing I got to commend the Transformers community for I have met so many great people through those plastic robots back there and nobody cares what your political beliefs are where you come from none of that you like plastic robots you're cool in my book no you're you're exactly right some of the nice people I've ever met in my life have been at conventions and people come up and they're just awesome people I really I got to say that I mean just some of the most wonderful people they have these you know stories about things and they say stuff like you know soundtrack to my childhood and you know different things what I got a fan letter from a little kid one time and you know he was obviously a kid you know he said something he told me in the letter he says you're my biggest fan you know he had it back that's great okay so you lose myself oh this this one ties into something you just said I'm glad you said this earlier I am also a huge Alice Cooper fan and so is my son Dylan we actually took him to his first concert last November and we took a six year old he was five then to an Alice Cooper concert dressed as Alice he had to make up the hat leather jacket and everything you mentioned you performed with him do you remember what song or album that was it it was on it wasn't a performance but it was singing on the album itself the recording and I don't remember which the title of the album but it was in would have been late 80s early 90s probably that's probably when he got his resurgence because I remember his poison out and came out yeah the one with Wayne's world was at it I don't remember Centipede was on there that that song okay yeah maybe you can tell me which album that is I'll go dig and I've got his entire library very nice he's very very good guy real solid person I understand he's quite quite the golfer too so yeah but he was very nice to me yeah it was so funny I mean my son just absolutely loved Alice Cooper and we had the opportunity to take him to a concert everybody thought we were nuts some people thought we were nuts and thumb some people thought we were the greatest parents ever all right right I'll send you a picture of him in his costume here later on okay okay moving on to question number seven now my math may be wrong I figured that this is your 12th so solo out let's see there were two in the 80s the one the first one was on CBS records and it just has my name then the second one was with Standbush and Barrage which had the touch on there and then I can name them all but but there were the thing is though that it makes it a little bit sort of debatable is a couple of the albums during the 90s were sort of like collections or whatever a couple of compilations so they weren't no they had songs that were already out on other records so it was sort of a you know wasn't like one we recorded a new album from the ground up and there were also one that was released in Japan that had a couple of different songs but it had the same had a different title than the one that released in the rest of the world so you know that kind of stuff and that's why it's it's a little bit up in the air but there should be 14 I have 12 listed on standbush.com and they're all available of course I got my information okay you heavily know the two that aren't on there are the first two and that's because I don't own the rights to those that's why I'm you know the rest of them I own the masters so you know that's why they're available on standbush.com excellent I totally lost what I was going to ask about this oh let's see oh I was just gonna say what can you tell us about this one this is your brand new album as you can see I got the autographed copy yeah and this was just released in November correct yeah yeah it's brand new yeah Dare to Dream was written most most of it was in 2020 there were a couple of songs that were from the 2019 like the one of the singles one of the songs called the 80s was a song about 80s rock and that was released in as a single in the summer of 2019 and it's the music video has my son as a young me in the video and anyway it's a song about 80s music and thinking back about being a kid and how you know how music gets you back in time so that's what that song and then later that year there were a couple of other ones that that I wrote and recorded and then but nearly the whole album the whole rest of the album was all written and recorded during the pandemic which yeah it was a the COVID thing was a bad thing and then you know hard on a lot of people and my heart goes out to everybody who suffered but if it was one silver lining for me and my producer is that's all we did was work on the album for most of the year so it was actually a good time creatively I think some of the best songs I've ever written were from this past year so real happy with the album it's getting great reviews it was named number number 10 of the album of the year for yeah so that was pretty cool to hear and they got dare to dream is the title track has a floating like a yeah like a ship that's floating in through the air like anyways kind of a surreal cover but you know there's a kid like a teenager guy younger guy standing on the hill or the mountain or the rock or whatever looking up at this you know it dreamscape basically he's he's dreaming this stuff and and it's it's it's also kind of goes into what we were talking about before how you know whatever you can dream well you know it's just like the song dream big is the same message where you know you think of stuff that you you know want to achieve like follow your dreams and and reach for stuff you know and you know the you pretty much have a limitless potential as a human you know when when you dare to dream I mean it's to be trying to be uncorny but you know what I mean it's well it's funny I told you earlier we've been listening to that dream big a lot lately and my son he really likes it too and I was telling him because there's a line in about the father telling the son dream big that's what I'm explaining to him I said don't let anything stop you go be whatever you want to be he is so hardcore set on being an adventurer and tell me bear factory but you know that's what you wanted yeah no it's cool it's that's that's the way we need to tell our kids you know like all of my kids are college graduates and stuff and so I'm real I couldn't be prouder and it's just one of those things you know that you I think all of us we want the best for our children and and so forth my kids are all grown now but you know what I'm saying I even have a grand baby she's she turned one year old this three two days before Christmas so well congratulations my son was my 40th birthday surprise good that's great I remember running into a friend of mine at the post office he was bragging about his daughter just going off to college we graduated he's bragging about his daughter going to college and I was like well my son did something good too and he said what he said learn to walk well I did not share my questions with you whatsoever but my question number eight was I have to tell you the 80s has become one of my favorite songs I listen to it almost daily since it was first released what can you tell us about that song and you've already answered that already kind of already yeah it's hard when you don't know what the questions are coming not to spoil the thing but yeah it's like I say I think a little bit of that was maybe partially inspired by the summer of 69 because you know that's you know he Brian Adams great song by the way my it was one of the best songs ever and but that's about looking back and you know when they were when they were kids and you know and it's just like I say the music just like a time machine it's takes you back and the other thing in the music video I didn't mention I rented a VW bus because you know that's what my my son and a couple of buddies that have a band in the video they were in a hot girl you know they were like in the VW bus and it was like you know kind of like looking back I mean I had one of those in high school I've got an interesting story about a VW bus when I was growing up my mom and dad they had they both had a beetle dad had a balloon and mom had a yellow one bumblebee and then they had the VW bus and in the mid 70s my car seat was a playpen bolted to the floor of that VW bus so I'm just bouncing around like a pinball that's great yeah my dad made made it into a camper he built a little thing on top that pops up a tent kind of thing and it's funny because a couple of years after he made that and we went up camping in the in the mountains North Carolina he a couple years after that that's when VW came out with a camper van that had very similar design to what he came up with so it was pretty cool you know he kind of built it himself so you know he well he did build it so it was a positive yeah it's cool thing now talking about the 80s we were talking about the song the 80s and I don't have this question down but I actually thought of it after I wrote everything another thing I love so much about your music it maintains that 80s sound I mean you listen to Dare to Dream and then you pop in the Transformers movie soundtrack the music is it's the same it has that same I guess tempo if you will and I love that is that something also that you're like hey I am an 80s guy and that's what I'm gonna stick with pretty much I love that because I'm sitting there uh yeah this work too and they're like oh is that an old song that's a brand new song which just has that 80s I love anything 80s my producer he's an 80s child too you know guy my best friend he grew up in Germany but he's been in America for a long time but uh he's just amazing the guy plays guitar great and uh he's a great studio engineer and plays keyboards and everything so he he and I work together but uh he's he's quite quite talented so he helps put those tracks together and like you know I was talking to my buddy of mine and you know if you if you did track like of that quality back then it would have spent a hundred grand doing a record like this you know and uh anyway but you know home studios you can do stuff cheaper now and but he's got you know he's really if you know what you're doing and you see he does he's he's very talented now you're talking about the home studios in the video the 80s I know you're you look like you're singing in a garage or a basement and then you look back at unstoppable it looks like you're singing outside your garage so you do a lot of that at home yeah well the 80s I'm sorry the unstoppable video that was just outside at a place out in the country and and the uh it was kind of like a barn in in the background and uh the uh yeah the one we did a soundstage two was two locations the soundstage was where we were performing but uh we had like rented gear and uh it's uh I did a newer music video maybe ask the next question you could ask me about uh for for Netflix and this was very recently and it came out in the end of November uh called uh it's it's a song born to fight and it's uh to promote their two most popular anime shows uh Baki and King and Ashura and uh the song's born to fight and it was the final song for for the album but Netflix reached out to me and asked if I could write song a song for them for this promotion and uh they Lenny and I my you know guy co-wrote the touch we came up with a song born to fight and recorded it and they loved it and they did a music video with me and then clips from the cartoon uh series you know the those two I mentioned better it's like ultimate fighting kind of stuff and uh but it's uh animated it's a really cool video it's right on on stanbush.com that's the one right to top right now correct yes and number one that's the first song on the album yeah it's a great power track but thank you all right question number nine real quick when you have any plans to tour once the pandemic ends if ever yeah I mean we um I've been approached by uh some places in Europe uh Spain also journey um about uh doing some stuff it see how things go but hopefully this summer we'll be getting some shows going it all depends on how quickly you know everything bounces back uh now that we have the vaccines and uh they're gonna be you know hopefully within a few months it'll be uh opened up again back back to pretty much normal I'm hoping okay I'm very proud of my state we've been rocking

everyone of those is inoculated my wife works higher education she's got inoculated so everybody's we're rolling so I'm I'm hopeful for the future as far as that's concerned that's great that's

Trump to quickly end war in Ukraine if elected president, Polish president. President of Poland Andrzej Duda is convinced that Donald Trump would be able to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours if elected president of the US in this year's autumn elections. Additionally, he believes that the president, Vladimir Putin would not risk waging war against Poland and the entire NATO bloc, reports Polsky Radio. During his visit to Rwanda, the Polish leader mentioned that Trump always keeps his promises. Duda stated that based on his personal experience as a president who had worked with President Trump, he could affirm that what Trump had promised him was delivered. He added that if he had received a promise from Trump, it had been fulfilled. He also added that Trump is serious about everything he says. Duda was also asked about the potential threat of a Russian attack on Poland. He noted that, theoretically, such a threat exists due to the situation where Russian imperialism has undoubtedly revived and Russia has attacked Ukraine. In his opinion, such an attack should trigger a response from the entire NATO alliance. In March 2023, Donald Trump promised his supporters to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours if elected president of the US in the November 5th elections. At the same time, he stated that he would allow Russia to take part of Ukrainian territory to avoid war.


Welcome artists, visitors, and subscribers to Monet Café.  That means we're doing a bird painting tutorial of a sweet little chickadee. I've been on a bird kick lately because it is the theme in our Monet Café art group on Facebook. So this will be the first video featuring the chickadee you saw at the beginning of this video. But I'm gonna be bringing some bird sketches, whimsical bird, pastel paintings, and it should be a lot of fun. All right, we're getting started now with the first little chickadee painting. I'll share a whole lot in here, but first here's my little studio mascot. He gets a little bored sometimes while I'm painting, so I have to take him out and throw the ball quite often. First, let's talk about my reference photos. I got all of the chickadee reference material from PMP-art.com. It used to be called Paint My Photo, but they changed their website to PMP-art.com. I encourage you, if you need good reference material to go ahead and check out that site, also find me. You can follow people just like friends on Facebook, and I have a lot of albums already saved like my bird album. I have marshes and landscapes, and so you can find other people and you know, use their material because these are photos from individuals who have allowed artists to share this. Now, I can't share the reference of the image while I paint. It's one of their rules. So I'm going to provide in the link of this video the actual link to PMP and the reference I'm using. So you could just go there and look at it while I'm painting. So all right now my materials. I had these extra sheets of U-art paper. It's the letter U-art, and it's a pre-made sanded pastel paper. That's awesome. Sanded papers are great for pastel painting. I had these cut up from a previous painting demonstration.  You get these boards from the dollar store for a dollar, the big boards that you see it resting on there. So that's a really good price. All right, so now I'm just going to tape down my piece of U-art paper with some black artist tape. It's archival, which means it doesn't have any acid in it. And I got my artist tape from Amazon. I have a lot of people ask me about that too. But I want to share that U-art paper is water friendly, and even though it's a sanded surface, you can paint on it with watercolor, with gouache, with acrylic, acrylic inks, so many different things that you can do with U-art paper. It's a very substantial pastel paper. It's a little pricey, which is why I often share how to create your own pastel surfaces, because I know a lot of beginner artists, and if you're like me when I first started my art career, buying these art supplies was a challenge for me, because I was, well I won't go into that story. But I do recommend doing a sketch prior to committing to your pastel painting. It's just a good idea. You work out any issues, especially if you're not real familiar with sketching birds. And I will give some sketching tips in an upcoming video. All right, it's time to get started. I'm using a piece of vine charcoal here, sometimes called willow charcoal to sketch. Charcoal, or vine charcoal, is a similar product to pastels, and it works really well with pastels. You can brush it off, use a kneaded eraser if you need to correct anything, and pastels apply very nicely on top of it. The pencil I have above there, I realized, I did not want to use that. If you use a regular pencil, there's something about the graphite and the lead that your pastels don't adhere to it. Well, it results in a shiny surface, so try not to use regular pencil with pastels. Now, I'll tell you right away at the get go, I drew my little birdie too tall, or too high, or too much towards the top of the paper, so I end up changing that and reworking it. So I really should have taken my own advice. I did do a sketch, but I should have planned it out a little better. It ends up working out fine at the end, but I'm just telling you guys to maybe take your time in your placement of where you want your image to be, and don't do what I just did. But hey, on this channel, I'm going to share warts and all, because we all make mistakes, right? All right, so now I've kind of got it sketched in a little bit. I did add a little bit of the dark pastel. I'm going to show you something here not to do. I forgot that I was using York paper, so I grabbed my little chamois cloth, and I forgot it doesn't blend well. If you want to blend some pastels, it gets stuck to the sanded surface. It works great on pastel matte and watercolor paper, but I end up using a pipe foam insulation later that I'll talk about. That's a better blending tool if you're going to do blending on a piece of UART paper. UART paper is pretty sanded. It's pretty gritty, and that's what makes it so awesome, and makes the pastel the ability to layer pastels. All right, so now I'm just getting in the general color palette. Again, I'm not sharing the reference photo here, but you can go to the clickable link in the description of this video if you want to see the actual photo. My patrons, however, will get the photo. I can share it in that group as an attachment there, because it's not like going out all over the YouTube world. If you would like to support this channel, it's only $5 a month on my Patreon page. Not only are you supporting this channel to bring art to people all over the world who may not be able to get any art lessons, I get the greatest feedback from people all the time about, oh my gosh, thank you so much, you know, because we're not all blessed to have so many resources or the financial resources that a lot of people in America take for granted. So I love that. I always say it. That's my heart about Monet Cafe is helping to bring art instruction to people who may not be able to get it. So if you support this channel on Patreon, again, $5 a month, you can cancel it anytime. But the neat thing is, if you want a little extra instruction, that's what my patrons get. We have a great time. It's a lot of fun. I treat it very much like art school or school, and we have story time, we have homework, we have PE lessons, patron education, and a lot of fun. I'm starting to do a little critiques that will help people get better. So anyway, I've only sped this up slightly, just so you know, you can still see what I'm doing, but it takes the file size down so I can actually upload it to YouTube. So typically the way I work here, you see my pastels, I'm using dark, the darker values first, and layering the light on tops. Mediums, oh that was my dog just snoring in the floor. The medium of pastels is similar to, even though it's a dry medium, it's similar to acrylic and oil and even gouache to a degree. In that, we can work dark to light. Now I'm not saying that's a hard, fast rule. You can certainly apply light down first, but in general you have the ability to layer. And because it's an opaque medium, you can put other colors on top of it or values on top of it and have it show up. I can put down a dark and then layer some lighter feathers on top. And so that's why often we can work with darker colors. Plus it gives the light something to contrast. Without contrast, color is just flat and values are flat. So I'm also working to, I know that this chickadee is more in the shadows at the under parts of his belly there, so that's why underneath, down at the bottom of his little belly there, I put some blue. And now I'm adding a little bit of this mauve, dull, kind of neutral magenta. Because even though his black parts on his head and under his beak are black, I mean, they're very dark, I shouldn't say they're black, black is relative, but I actually used a really, really dark purple for that. But I noticed at the top of his head and just under his beak there, there was some, like the sun was hitting it. So there was a little bit of warmth. So that's why I added that purple there. Now I'm kind of shaping out the chickadee at this point. I have found that I, I draw thinking about shapes and spaces. So often I'm kind of carving rather than sketching. I do, I like sketching and, you know, I'll do a basic sketch like I did with this chickadee before I start, especially if it's a subject matter like this, like a person or an animal that you need to get specific. But I don't do a detailed sketch because I do a lot of my painting focusing on big shapes and negative shapes. And so I'm, I'm more carving than I am drawing or doing individual lines. We just had a lesson not too long ago in my Patreon group about line versus edge. We, I encouraged them for their homework to do a painting that focused more online. Like if I would, I was to lift the pastel up and almost draw with it like a pencil versus edge, which is using it on its flat side, which gives a more painterly feel. Now you do use a little bit of both when you're painting, but it's definitely something that I like to do is more of an edge and a shape rendering versus a line render, rendering when I'm painting, especially at the early stages. Blocking in is a kind of a term that some of you might be familiar with in what I'm describing. So you're, you're blocking in the big shapes. I didn't worry about blocking in the background right away with this because I definitely wanted to get the general shape of that chickadee done to begin with. All right. So now I'm just keeping a really light touch. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do the background. The reference photo really just had a, one of those out of focus blurry backgrounds, which is neat, but I knew I didn't want it to be totally boring. And so I thought I'd go ahead and get this background covered. Now that's the piece of pipe foam insulation I was talking about. I just had to clean it off and had a little bit of residue on it. I've heard you can put these in the washer and just wash them off. But I'm using that to blend with and see how it just softens it up and covers all of that, that lighter surface of the UART paper. So it really sets a mood and starts to feel more like a painting, you know, rather than just something so standalone like the chickadee just sitting there. All right. So now I feel better. I got the paper covered and I do advise that. So now I'm going to start working a little bit more on making sure I have things rendered correctly with regard to the shape of this chickadee. Now here's where I'm going to talk a little bit. I'll continue this conversation when I do a video on sketching birds and bird, correct bird anatomy. And I'll preface it by saying, I'm not a bird expert. I love painting little birds. I just get a kick sometimes and I feel like I got to, I got to paint some birds, but I need to study the more I need to do more bird painting. But I will share with you guys some of the things that I've learned personally about drawing and painting birds. They have such a delicate little shape and sometimes I know I used to do this early on. I had a way of drawing or painting them too stiff, too stiffly. And I lost that, should I say buoyancy? I know that's in water, but in the air they're so light and they are so gently formed. And if we sketch or have too many hard lines, we lose that. Notice the blues and the purples that I've already added, some of them, but I'll be adding more. And there are, even though that section of his head and under his body is, or under his belly kind of area is lighter, there are still shadowy areas. And blues and purples are excellent colors to use to represent shadows. Also too, with the chickadee, notice that, well you're not looking at the reference photo, but if you go there and you look at it, their eye, it's black within black or darkest value within the darkest value.  There's a little bit of a, sometimes a lighter area around their eye that you can kind of differentiate between the eye and the black feathers around it. But for the most part, don't try to overdraw the eye or it's going to look unrealistic. Their eyes really are just dark in dark. For most, like I said, many of the chickadee reference photos that I've been working with, I've noticed the same thing. All right, so again, I've added some of the purples and it looks rather, I don't know, blocky at this stage, kind of or chunky at this stage. And that don't feel bad if that's how your painting looks to begin with, because sometimes it just takes a while. And try to resist the urge to over blend. Now again, I've blended the background because I kind of wanted to get started with that little covering up of the whole surface and get an idea of mood and value. But I'm not going to blend the bird. I don't think I, before this painting is over, I don't think I blend anything on the bird, because I let the pastels do the blending.  And so you have this tendency to get something out and blend, but just don't do it. Resist the urge. And the more you practice this, the more you know when to blend and when not to blend, because the pastels really will, after you get enough layers down, they start to blend themselves. Now I noticed again, with the black on the top of the head, again, there was this shimmer, like the sun was hitting it, and it almost had that blue that I'm using, this really almost ultramarine blue. And I have one of a common question I get from people all the time on the YouTube channel and various sources is, how do you know to use those colors? Because you don't necessarily see them in the reference photo. However, if you know some of the rules of how color behaves, this is why we talk about color a lot. Actually, in our Patreon group right now, I'm going through a book in our storytime. We have storytime every Wednesdays when I read from a book. And we're actually on color theory right now. That's a lesson I'll be actually doing tomorrow for them. But when you know the rules of color and value, you can stretch the boundaries of what you see in your photo. I know for a fact that black things, often when light hits them, they'll have a shimmery, I mean, it can reflect as a warm color, but often a really black object can have a blue or deep blue kind of shimmer, especially in birds that have those iridescent feathers and as I was seeing on this chickadee. And sometimes I think I know other artists must do the same thing that I do here, but I think we train our eyes and maybe we paint enough to start seeing things that may not be obvious in a reference photo. When I looked at that reference photo, I just felt like there should be blue there on the top of his head, even though I couldn't really see it, but I might just barely see it. So, all right, let me move on here. Now with bird's feet, I'm still trying to get my bird feet the way I want them to be in general. They are, I don't even think I'm going to draw them in here. I wanted to get an idea of where they were, but when I get to it, I'm going to talk a little bit more about it. They are so delicate and they have a, oh, I am kind of sketching them in, they have a real gestural stroke. And if you have your stroke on your bird's feet too hard, too stiff or too mechanical, is that the word? They won't look realistic. Their legs and their feet are so delicate and gestural is the best word that I can think of. So take a light touch and an easy hand when you're doing the bird feet. And I'll talk about that more maybe in one of the upcoming videos. Now at this point is where, if you're watching this on the Monet Cafe, the YouTube channel, you will see the sped up version from this point forward. We're about at 17 minutes into the video, so there's been lots of great content. Well, I hope you think it's great content and I hope you'll try it and always feel free to join the Monet Cafe Art Group on Facebook. You can get so many questions answered there. We pride ourselves in that group. I don't like the word pride normally, but we pride ourselves on really making the beginner feel comfortable. And if you're a beginner, you can ask almost any question and you will get such great advice from artists of every level. So it's another great free resource just like these videos. But from this point forward is where Monet Cafe will see the sped up version.  And also, my patrons will get the reference photo and be able to provide their results in our private Patreon group as well. So Monet Cafe, hang in there, keep watching because you learn a lot by watching. Even I like watching speed videos. Actually, when you've painted a little while, I prefer watching a speed video because I'm already past some of the other things that I'm just watching at the color and the composition and some of the things the artist is doing. So keep watching and do me a favor, comment on this video. Let me know what you think. Your comments not only mean a lot to me. I love reading your comments. Also, it helps with my YouTube ranking. So if you comment, it's just going to make my videos get to more people who may be looking for art instruction videos. YouTube suggests those videos more often when the videos have a lot of comments. So there's my cheap little plug to get you guys to comment and watch the video to the end. Oh, also watch the video to the end because that's where I will have a photo or video portion of all of the pastels I used. I actually marked them out on a card so that you can see every color that was used for this painting. All right, guys, enjoy the music until I'm back at the end to go over my color selections. You can see here how I made the background more colorful and here is where I'm going to go ahead and just mark down all of the pastels. I know sometimes with computers, our color perception is not always the same based on your monitor. But basically I have like three darks. I really only needed two of the darks. I think it's the Terry Ludwig egg plant, kind of a mauve color. Like you see there are a couple of purples, a neutral pink. Now I've got some of these greens, some a little warmer, a little lighter, and then one of them is a cooler green. You can see that second one down. Now I've got some blues, that brighter, bolder blue, more of the periwinkle blue, a lighter periwinkle blue, and a really light blue. Now you see that light blue? That was the white and it appears very white on the painting. But as I always say, color and value is relative. Now of course some of those orangy brown colors down there, more peachy tones that were in the feathers and more of a gold that was on the outside edges where that backlighting happened, a little neutral colors there and a little bit more yellowy and a little bit of a lighter peachy tone there. I did add a few turquoise at the end when I brightened it up. But here's the final with a few of the brighter colors applied and I like the crop in Photoshop of the circle. As I said before, stay tuned because the next bird tutorial will be the same chickadee where I use a different color palette, which should be a lot of fun. All right guys, I hope you enjoyed that. I hope you learned something and always remember it's never too late to be an artist. Happy painting!


A lot of scholars and scientists, a lot of NGO development leaders, it's a wonderful group of hundreds of sustainable development leaders and we're brainstorming. We're saying what can we do to really push right now the SDGs forward because tomorrow's the start date? Absolutely. What has the SDSN done so far? The SDSN is playing roles at the global level by helping to prepare reports and give advice to the Secretary General and to the General Assembly. So we've had a lot of reports. People can look at it. www.unsbsn.org. www.unsbsn.org. You can download all the reports. We have a lot of information. Second, we have created an online higher education of sustainable development moving to an online university, I hope, in time. And this is called sdsn.edu. She's in charge, so this is getting some wonderful material online. And I'm thrilled that my own course, The Age of Sustainable Development, is online. It's free. That's the whole point. Anyone around the world can look at it. And it's on EdCast. So if you download the EdCast app, then on your phone, when you're walking down the street, riding in a taxi, at a boring meeting, in a very boring lecture, you can see a great online lecture that puts your headphones on. You actually have a channel. So tune in to the Sustainable Development channel on EdCast. So that was the second part. Third, it is at the national level. At the national level, we have chapters in Germany, in Brazil, in Ecuador, in Colombia, in Turkey, in Italy, in Korea, in Japan, in many other countries. And we have regional chapters. We have an incredible, Mediterranean regional chapter at the University of Siena. And we happen to have right here at the record of the University of Siena, Angel over Devoni, who is also filming us. I would like also to say something to Jeff. Tomorrow is a very important day because of the adoption of the SDGs, but also it's the night of researchers. All over Europe, tomorrow, they will celebrate research. So please, why don't you say words saying that research is important also for SDGs? Because tomorrow, in 300 cities around Europe, they will celebrate...


There's a common teaching in marketing that you need more traffic more traffic more traffic, right? I don't think you need more traffic. I really don't and I'm a marketer I have coached hundreds of clients on marketing and what I've discovered is it's not about more traffic because if you think more traffic, you're going to start doing things that essentially make your business inauthentic What you actually what all of us actually need when we're trying to build an authentic business Is we need just the right people to know about our business For example, you don't need a million visitors to your website. You probably can't handle a million clients What you need is the 100 right people to come to your website Out of the 100 right people you might you probably can't even handle 100 clients right now, right? So maybe you just need the 10 think about that You just need the 10 right people to come to your website who Would want to hire you for your services or buy your products Maybe if you're selling products, you need the thousand right people, but you don't need a million visitors. So Don't fall for any Services or products that tell you they're gonna get you more traffic Ignore them because they don't really know what kind of traffic you really need What you need to do is to have enough conversations with your ideal clients to understand them so well that you can Communicate in your website Just to those right ten people the right hundred people the right thousand people not a million ten million people You don't have to please everybody You just need to connect most resonantly with those ten or those hundred You don't need more traffic. You need the right traffic So get to know your ideal clients have the conversations engage with them Do your best to understand them as well as you can their mindset what they're thinking even without saying it What they're thinking what they say to their friends and their colleagues and their family about the challenges that you can help people solve But but get to know them so well that you can even understand the things that they think themselves without having to say it When you get there and you can communicate that That's when you can find just the right people and you won't have to buy traffic or get Spend all this money and try to get more traffic. You just need the right people


Howdy how's it going? My name is Davy Chappy, and it's time to go over the last four classes buffed up in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. I'm gonna go over the new class features and archetypes of the Rogue, the Sorcerer, the Warlock, and the Wizard. And as always, keep in mind that the majority of this is just my opinion, so if you feel like the next book should be comprised of just 18 more wizard subclasses, feel free to play your games however you want. But with that out of the way, let's begin. So to start things off with the last martial character before we get to the Arcane Triumferent, the Rogue only gains one new feature for the base class, and that is the AIM ability, which grants advantage on your next attack as a bonus action if you sacrifice your movement speed. Personally, granting advantage on attacks pretty much every turn feels real weird to me, and I get that the goal was to give rogues a way to get off their sneak attack every turn, but was that really a problem for anybody? It isn't when I play them, still, it's a personal feeling, and I could go either way with it, so happy hunting. As for subclasses, rogues that go through the full spectrum of edginess come out on the other side as haunted killers, plagued by the whispers of the waking dead and fueled with an unnatural desire to collect more souls like they were pocket monsters. The soul power of the Phantom allows you to pick a new skill or tool proficiency every day as you ask the tortured specter of Bob the Builder how to construct the perfect gulag, and your overly edgy presence causes people around your victims to cringe so hard that they take half of your sneak attack damage from the sight of your maniac, idiosyncrasies. As it goes, these are your only abilities until halfway through your life as a rogue, at which point your relationship with death grants you the power to, after someone dies around you, capture their soul and manifest it into a tiny trinket that you can use to protect yourself from death, deal more cringe damage, or ask that spirit a question before yeeting it back into the afterlife. By 13th level, you can go ghosts like Danny Phantom, and eventually your cringe damage will spread out to an additional person, and those soul trinkets will start finding the way to you on their own. The Phantom as a subclass really just throws a bunch of weird ideas together with a vague theme of ghost powers, but given that you'll spend most of your adventure with just the extra damage and the skill-swapping features, this class is good for rogues that want to do a little bit of everything, from damage to skills, and if you don't want to be a hot topic stan, you can always just reflavor the ghost as something else. The subclass that it would be harder to reflavor is the soul knife. The second in the trio of psionic classes created as a way for wizards to say, please stop asking for the mystic, gaining the iconic psychic energy die that bolster both your skill checks and your telepathic abilities, the soul knife gains the titular soul knife to use as a weapon, acting as psychic knives that you pull out of your brain pouch and toss a confused and soon to be brain stabbed enemies.  You can also turn yourself invisible, and your final ability enables you to rub a magnet on the brain of your bad guys to stun them for a whole minute. Compared to the Phantom, I still think that the soul knife doesn't have a specific role, but its abilities do lend more to the thematic idea of mental skull duggery. Plus, you can replace the knives with cards and roleplay as a gambit, so this is my favorite rogue class now. Next up, the sorcerer gets a bunch of new features to augment their metamagic, but nothing to actually get more sorcery points, so get ready to drain them fast or otherwise never use them. Specifically, you can use your metamagic to reroll attack rolls and you can finally change the damage type of your spells, although only to elemental damages, which is still a step up, but I can feel that struggle to not nerf the sorcerer more. Beyond that, you can finally swap cantrips and metamagic every Q levels, you can spend sorcery points to reroll ability checks, which is not metamagic, you just get it for free at level five, and you get oodles of new spells, both from Tasha's and from the PHP. You even get new spells from your subclasses, like the aberrant mind, the final psionic subclass that foregoes the psychic die of the last two for the amazing flexibility of being able to replace the subclass specific spells that you get from the aberrant mind with either a divination or enchantment spell from either the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell lists. It's a really weird feature to wrap your head around, but it opens up the world of spells to the class that should need them just as much as the wizard. Past that, you can also telepathically talk to your friends, cast spells directly through your sorcery points so that they don't need any components, gain resistance to mind effects, transform your body with magical thought energy to see invisible people fly, become a fish person, or do that weird scene in Harry Potter where your bones turn into jelly, and your final ability turns you into a black hole, crushing everything around you before shunting you through space and spitting you back out somewhere else. The aberrant soul is a very good class for players who want versatility in their game, on a class that was already designed to bend its skills to fit the situation. I do think that the skills, especially the spell swapping feature are a bit confusing, so I'd err on the side of caution before suggesting it to a new player. But once you understand the basic mechanics, the aberrant soul should be a real thinking adventure Speaking of thinking, do you know what emphasize this thinking? Clocks. And do you know what doesn't make for a clean transition? Clocks. The clockwork soul sorcerer is a magician tainted by mechanics, the outer plane of pure order where everyone is shapes and you forgot to turn in your geometry homework. Your magic takes on a vaguely robotic design that seems very out of place in the high fantasy forgotten realms, but since it's actually from a foreign plane of existence, that displaced feeling is secretly brilliant. Mechanically, the clockwork soul gets new spells and the same spell swapping power is the aberrant mind, but instead of choosing between enchantment or divination spells, you choose transmutation and abduration And you can balance advantage and disadvantage roles by taking away one of the dice and telling that person to roll normal. With the power of sorcery points, you can place wards on people that absorb damage, you can enter a clockwork trance that negates advantage, prevents you from rolling lower than a 10, and can be reactivated if you pump sorcery points into it. And finally, you can harness the power of squares to summon an army of modrons that fly around restoring balance by healing people, fixing damage objects, and ending spell effects of six level or lower. The clockwork soul operates as a subclass for those that want to future-proof their encounters. Most of the abilities either neutralize advantages that your enemy has, or prevents you from making overly negative mistakes. So if you're the type of player who has unreasonably bad luck rolling your die, you can use this subclass as a security blanket. Up next, the most customizable class is given new spells, new invocations, and a new pack to the talisman, which is really bad, don't take it. But it can also now swap out its features over a few levels. If, in your creative experimentation, you got locked into a playstyle that you don't really care for, the warlock also has some of my favorite subclasses in the whole book, the fathomless and the genie.  With the powers of being able to buy homes from people affected by global warming, you become a bastion of the sea, summoning watery tentacles that fight with and alongside you, as well as gaining gills and a swimming speed. As you dive into battle, you'll handle cold temperatures better, you can talk underwater without inhaling salt water, your tentacles can look out, sir, you or your allies. You learn of Ard's black tentacles for maximum penetration, and you'll one day learn to swaddle yourself and your friends in so many writhing tentacles that they all fold space on one another and thrust you into the tentacle dimension before spitting you out somewhere else, soggy and cursed with the knowledge of the tentacle dimension. The fathomless is your obligatory water subclass for the warlock, but outside of a couple of water specific abilities, you don't lose a lot of strength for being away from the ocean, you just sort of bring the water with you, or maybe that's just sweat, gross. As for the pack to the genie, where there's a will, there's a way, and the genie is your way to play the elementalist warlock that you've probably never even thought about. As opposed to the other patrons, the type of genie you pick will have an effect on your character, as the pack to the genie gives you new spells to pick from depending on whether your genie is a jinn, an ifrit, a mirid, or a dow, and their element provides specific buffs like dealing more elemental damage when you hit. Your genie also provides you with a housing vessel for you and your friends, protecting you from the outside world so long as you can excuse the itty bitty living space.  Not only do you get wish as one of your subclass spells, but at 14th level you can beseach your genie to grant you the power of one spell of 6th level or lower. Like I said, the genie warlock is an elemental powerhouse, and if you find a way to reflavor the vessel mechanics, you could just use the subclass as a template to play the avatar that the monk could never give us. Holy hell, we're almost done. Okay, last class is the wizard. You can replace cantrips every long rest now, and that's not the wizard being flexible, that's just the wizard flexing. You also get one and a half new subclasses, the order of scribes, and the blade singer. The blade singer is a little weird. It originally showed up in the sword coast adventurer's guide, the place where subclasses go to die, and it was brought back in tautches with minor buffs, namely that your blade song uses scale with proficiency now and aren't just set at 2, and now you can replace one of your attacks with a cantrip when you get your extra attack. Those are with mentioning as being buffs, but they don't change my overall opinion of the subclass, so you can find me talking about it in the OG wizard spell guy.  As for the order of the scribes, it is best practiced by those wizards who talk to this spellbook like it's a real person, because to the order of the scribes, it is. Acting as a sort of pseudo generalist wizard, you'll be handed a quill with the powers of being a really good quill, and a book with a mind of its own that can be used as a spellcasting focus, as well as means to cast rituals instantly and swap around the damage types of your spell so that no resistances will ever harm you again. That book mind will eventually manifest as a full-on magical floating head that can see in the dark and belch out spells as if they came from you.  The order of scribes is complicated, to say the least, which isn't bad because it's an archetype for the thinking class, and for people who don't want to specialize in one school of magic, and instead take the field as far as it'll go, the order of scribes is one of the more rewarding subclasses in Tasha's cauldron of everything. But that'll about do it! I hope you enjoyed this video, be sure to leave a like, comment, subscribe, ring the bell to stay up to date on all of your Daffy news, and maybe support me on Patreon so that I can prepare for the next time that I have to review over two dozen subclasses. But yeah, Daffy out.


This weekend on July 13th. We got our pipeville streetcar drag races. We got six classes thirty dollars to get in we have three index classes two heads-up races and our famous pipeville streetcar challenge This is actually going to be our first first one of the year because we got ringed out in May.

Five residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have sued the Attorney General of the Federation AGF and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, over the declaration of Senator Bola Tinibu as the nation's president-elect. The plaintiffs in the suit filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on April 28, 2023, over the senator Tinibu failed to secure at least 25% of votes cast in the FCT. Tinibu, who was the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress APC, was declared the winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential poll with 8,794,726 votes. The plaintiffs also want a declaration extending President Mohamed Buairi's tenure pending when a successor is determined in accordance with the Constitution. Meanwhile, the court fixes May 24 for ruling on sued by FCT residents seeking to stop May 29 inauguration of Tinibu. And then on jurisdiction we did let the court know that it has power of judicial review under Section 66B of the Constitution. And we are looking at the conduct of my net chairman as that of any public officer. So the question is whether it's constitutional or not. So this court has the jurisdiction to determine whether that action is constitutional or not. And then we also let the court know that being the Federal High Court has exclusive jurisdiction over the termination of such issue. So there's no question of jurisdiction there. Then on whether or not the matter is pending at the presidential election terminal, we let the court know that nothing happening there can rob us of our personal rights to pay hearing.

Hey, this is Brett and this 2014 Jeep Wrangler 2-door Rubicon is stock number 12606Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Your new and used Jeep and Jeep Wrangler headquarters. This 2014 Jeep Wrangler has a 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine. This Jeep has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and this Jeep is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside, underneath, start it up, take a look under the hood, listen to the great exhaust on this one. In this video, billet silver is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, and options of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you like the video on how we do things here at Summit Auto in the upper right hand power screen is a subscribe button. Click that and then click the bell notifications to our YouTube channel. You'll get updates every time we do videos here at Summit Auto of our new and used inventory. And this is probably one of the cleanest 2-door used Wranglers I've seen on our lot. And you'll see why here in just a couple of minutes, just how nice this thing is all the way around. Painted and polished aluminum Rubicon rims. It has the BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA KO2 tires. These are LT285 70R 17s. They have just about all the tread left, I'd say 80 to 90% at least. Frame and underbody is like new. Front fender is in excellent shape. No scuffs or scrapes on that. The front bumper is in excellent condition as well. You get the factory fog lights, the tow hooks, the grille is in excellent shape. I didn't see any rock chips or anything like that on there. And the hood is in excellent condition as well. I didn't see any dents or dainies on there. We'll get it ready for when we start it up here in just a second. Other side front fenders in excellent shape and the passenger side rim no scuffs or scrapes on that. Billet Silver's got a lot of metal flake in it. It's a good looking color, especially when you get it in the sunlight. This one has the original windshield, you still get the little wrangler climbing up the side there. The door hinges are in really nice shape on this wrangler as well and it comes with the rock rails. As you go down this side of the Jeep, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. And we take these HD videos so that if you're far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the Jeep, hear the Jeep and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. The back rim is in excellent condition as well and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Look at how clean that frame and underbody is. Yes, this is a 2014 and it looks like it's brand new under here. In fact, I could go look at a brand new one right now and it probably have more corrosion than this one. This thing is really nice. Lower rockers. Rock rails are in great shape. Rear fenders in great shape. I didn't see any scuffs or scrapes on the hard top. That's in really nice condition as well. Coming around to the back, the rear bumper is in great shape too. And this one does have the Corsa performance exhaust on it. You get the dual exhaust tips, towing package, receiver hitch and four pin wiring. Comes with the original rim and tire that was on this truck. It was a mud terrain to begin with, but they changed them to the all terrains. Back storage area is very clean. You get an Alpine premium sound system with the subwoofer. Get a mat back here. Get a storage area. That's your case for your front hard top pieces. You have roof bolt and door hinge bolt. Storage back here as well. You can take that hard top off. There's four bolts on each side. And then two quick disconnects. These seats do fold down and then up and you can also take them out if the front seats weren't back so far. The glass is in really nice shape. The door is in really nice shape as well. Once again, that hard top, excellent condition on this side as well. And coming around the driver's side, just as nice as that passenger's side for full disclosure of this back rim. Excellent shape. You can see any dents or dings on there. Quarter there and the doors are in excellent condition too. Those hinges are nice. Has the heated power mirrors. Inside the Rubicon package has the black cloth interior. No rips or tears on the seats. You do get the Rubicon stitched into the backrest. It does have the driver's seat height adjuster and it comes with some all-weather floor mats in here. Axel lock and sway bar disconnect. That's what makes a Rubicon a Rubicon. Power locks, power windows, power mirrors. The back seats are in excellent condition as well.  Those seats are in great shape as is the carpeting. And we'll hop inside and take a look at the miles and the radio and everything that this one has to offer and then we will start it up, check out that exhaust and then take a look under the hood. You can see that this one has 48,735 miles compass and outside temperature display. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Comes with the leather wrapped steering wheel. That's a nice shape. Cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left does have audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Comes with the CD player, AM, FM and serious satellite radio capabilities. Also has the Augs jack on there.  And that's for your 110 volt, I'm sorry, 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. Four-wheel drive, five-speed automatic transmission, passenger side format and seat are in excellent conditional rips or tears on there. And the front hard top pieces are in excellent condition as well. Auto dimming mirror. And you do get these wild boar grab bars, which are pretty sweet. They're very solid onto the vehicle to get in and out. And we'll start it up, check out that exhaust and then take a look under the hood. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video. You have been able to verify just how clean this Jeep is all the way around. And I'm being serious when I say that this is probably the cleanest Wrangler that we've had Tudor used in quite some time. And under the hood, we have the 3.6 liter V6 engine. Engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth once again. This Jeep has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. Delta fluids have been checked and topped off. There's your emissions sticker. You can see that the washer fluid's topped off too. And this Jeep is 100% ready to go. I would highly recommend this Jeep from a quality and condition standpoint and cleanliness and just overall really nice Tudor Wrangler.
