Hello, my name is Denis Efremov and welcome to my presentation. With this tool presentation, the tool is named CVHound. What it is for? It automates the checking of kernel sources for missing fixes of known CVs. I started this project about 10 months ago. The tool works as a static analyzer and to detect missing CV fixes, the tool doesn't use kernel version, doesn't require a development log and doesn't need to know how to build your kernel. But internally, the tool contains a special rule for each VE it is able to check for. As for now, I describe it more than 200 kernel CVs. The main value of the tool in these descriptions, and I will talk about them in detail a bit later. Additionally, the tool supports various filters like searching subdirectories or specific files. Checking of code only enabled in a build config also supports it. Kernel config analysis is based on the Undertaker projects code. I reuse CV metadata from Linux kernel CVs.conf for information like CWV and CVSS scores. It is a very hard work to collect and maintain the metadata and many things to the project. Not so long ago I also had a report generation in JSON for CI systems. Let's talk a bit about why, in my opinion. Do we need to automate these checks and why the automation is not so simple? I'm pretty sure that you all already know these facts, but I would like to explicitly mention them once again in my motivation part to give you a better understanding of why the tool works this way and not another one. Some automation is highly desirable because we've got thousands of CVs assigned to the Linux kernel. Most of them are in recent years. Records are in different databases and many of the databases are somehow synchronized with each other. Lack of information about vulnerable versions. Wrong commit references. It's a common problem for many records. Moreover, we've got national databases with alternative identifiers. For example, in Russia, there is a stack database with BDU identifiers. You can just take a kernel version and check whenever your kernel is vulnerable or not because you need to know vulnerable version intervals for many kernels like Stable, LTS, XLTS, super long-term support and even after that you will face that there are kernels with, I would say, an independent backporting process. Sometimes when you do your own backporting you take also features from mainline to, for example, speed up the things or you backport even full drivers. And in this case, the information that a specific vulnerability was in a mainline kernel version from version A to version B gives you very little information. Moreover, the kernel is a highly configurable project. In some configurations are vulnerable while others aren't because a driver is simply not enabled. It's a common workflow when developers' backport only fixes for kernel paths they care about. After all, why would you care about a floppy driver if you prepare an Android kernel? Git log is not always available to you because as far as I understand, GPL license doesn't require you to publish a care development history. And even if you have an access to it, without being a kernel developer, it's very hard to say what CVS are fixed and what are not based on the log because there can be reward commits and early version of patches for mainline clist and many other things. When I started tool development, I kept in mind a couple of use cases. For example, let's imagine that you are an engineer in a certification lab and you have full sources for a device and one of the requirements in a certification procedure is that all known CVS should be fixed or mitigated somehow. So you need to check maybe hundreds of CVS in the kernel. Or maybe you are a system administrator and you can just update the kernel because of third-party modulus that simply don't work with newer kernel versions. And you want to know what administrative measures you need to take to mitigate possible bad consequences of an attack. So you need to start by getting a list of CVS you need to take care of. Maybe you are a pen tester and you don't want to find new exploits. So just extract the config file from working kernel, take the closest possible kernel version and get a list of CVS to check on a device.  Maybe you want to enable additional kernel modules like one of network file systems on your phone and you also want to check the state of these drivers in a tree before enabling them and making your phone vulnerable. As I already said, developers sometimes don't back port fixes to not enabled drivers. So, how to implement this kind of checker? Actually, we've got one in the kernel for more than 10 years already. It's called Coxinell. Without reinventing the wheel I use it in the CVHound tool. Many kernel developers already use Coxinell and know how to write rules for it. Coxinell is a static analyzer that allows you to describe C language patterns in a C language with additional meta expressions and find the real code that falls into these patterns. Here's an example of Coxinell rule. It describes a code pattern when we copy data from user space and compare it to some node string in the kernel. The pattern is a code we've copied from user and string compare calls with upper E meta variable to match variables and pointers and dot dot dot notation to match everything else. The Coxinell will find many different functions for us that fall into this pattern in the kernel. Usually it's about what you want when you write a rule for a static analyzer. And to make this rule as many cases as possible. Cases of API misuses for example. But in the CVHound tool I want a contrary thing. I want to search only for one case in the kernel and check it. Is it present in the kernel or node? So I add additional details to the rule to make it more strict. To detect only one case but detect it through all changes from the commit where it was introduced to commit where it was removed. Breaks commit where vulnerability was introduced and to a fixed commit where it was removed. So I still need to abstract out from such details as for example variable names. Some statistics to give you a better feeling of how much efforts you need to take to write these detection rules. I started the project about 10 months ago and since then I have described more than 200 CVs. Most of them were assigned to the kernel in the last 3 years. I spent only 42 days adding at least one detection rule to the project and there were only 8 days when I spent the whole day writing rules. Usually I can describe more than 10 rules in a single day. Each rule is tested that it detects a CV in the interval from breaks commit to a fixed commit and which rule is tested outside this interval that it doesn't detect a CV. To write a detection rule I take a commit that introduces a bug and a commit that fixes it. I need these commits only to test the rule otherwise I don't need them like I already said but it doesn't need a git log to work. Sometimes finding a fixed commit is not trivial. I even maintain my own list of wrong fixed tags but I found in different fixed commits. Usually it takes about 5-10 minutes to draft an initial version of a rule and about 10-12 minutes to test it. There can be many iterations of refinements and testing. Let's have a quick demonstration. I reverted a floppy fix from 2018 on top of 5.15 kernel. Usually to run the tool all you need is to specify a path to the kernel sources directory but I'll also limit the search to floppy.c. And the tool will find it for us. Just to give you a bit more information the tool internally calls coxinell with different patterns and coxinell also outputs a line number of a match for us. To check a kernel config option you also need to specify a path to the config file. And in this case the tool will output for us a config option that enables floppy.c and it will also check .config file for this option and it's indeed enabled. Another example. Here I partially reverted two capability checks on top of 5.15 kernel. The original patch adds four of them in different functions and I reverted only two of them. And the tool will output for us exactly two lines of the functions where capability checks were removed. And I would say it's a pretty common then there is an error in backporting or you accidentally revert parts of the commits later. Let's get back to the slides. Let's look at rules and some typical patterns that are used to describe a CVE. We will start from simple cases and move to more complex ones to give you a better feeling of extensibility of this approach. CVE on the left just removes some code from the kernel and in this case we can simply search for removed code and we will find it. It definitely means that the fix wasn't applied. CVE fix on the right adds a capable check and to describe it we use some real answers like function name, global variable name and abstract out from details like local identifier name and use dot dot dot to match everything else. There is a dot dot dot when not equal notation that means match everything if it doesn't contain this line. So we'll match rowsoc create if it doesn't contain capable call before assigning rowsoc rowoops to a pointer and later I also added NS capable call because capable was changed to it. Here I use another approach and instead of using dot dot dot when not equal I prepared three patterns and made them depend on each other. So in the patch we just add an initialization to we just add another entry to a global array and to detect this I need to check that there is indeed such constant in the enum definition. It was introduced in a separate page. I need to check that there is a global variable and I need to check that there is no initialization or this global array with this constant. So instead of writing dot dot dot when not equal we can write a pattern and check that XNL can find it in the sources. Let's move to functions that change existing lines of code. The error here is self descriptive, wrong permissions and in the patch we simply check for them. In the rule we simply check for them. This is a simple case when a fix fully describes an error and if contains full information that we need to write detection. With this slide I want to show you that in most of the cases Diff doesn't contain enough information to describe a severe rule. So in general case fix doesn't contain full information and like for this function race access for a global variable of a patch just adds mutex log and mutex unlock to one of the functions but the error isn't the combination between these two functions and to reliably detect missing fix I need to describe both of the functions because one of the commits adds one function with mutex logs inside another commit adds another function and third commit adds a global variable and the error is in combination between them. Here is another case, a simple patch that initializes a local variable but to describe it first I need to check that there is a structure with reserved field inside it. I don't remember exact details but highly likely there is no information leak if there is no reserved field in the data structure definition. So we check here for the field for the copy to user call and we check for absence of initialization and these receptions are enough to describe most of CVEs on practice but sometimes coxinal is not enough because it's only suitable for matching C code patterns and like in these cases with errors in an LD script and assembly changes you need to do different things. In a coxinal rule you can write a Python code and in this case with an LD script I check that in Python I check that an LD script contains a special string with a regular expression and I depend a pattern match on this check before reporting an error and in our approach is to fall back to regular expressions and in this case for CVE it's also possible to write a coxinal rule but I decided to try a grep mode with PCRE regular expressions are not very readable but they are very powerful with all these look ahead and look behind expressions and many more features. So that's pretty much all approaches that are used to describe CVE patterns future plans. Short-term plans include adding the tool to the kernel side testing workflow I already started to do this as adding a coxinal I see no value in checking stable trees because I already do this when I develop detection rules but it can be interesting to check trees that are based on stable branches and I also want to add more precise analysis of four kernel config options as for now it's done on a per file basis and if there is an if death inside the .c file the tool may report incorrect results and I also want to add a filter for checking files enabled by a specific config options like I already said let's suppose you want to enable a couple of config options on your android kernel and you want to check is it safe to enable them or not and you don't know what files will be built if you enable them a mid-term plan is to add another checking mod to the tool this lightweight mod will check only the git log and some of my colleagues ask me to implement this and this mod will be useful mainly for kernel developers the simple idea is to check that there is a breaks commit in your branch and there is no corresponding fix commit in the git branch I already drafted an initial implementation for this and of course you can just check for commit IDs because they are different in different trees so you need to take into account things like commit title commit author, commit time to really check a git log and there are many hidden stones here with reward commits, multiple commits that fix one CVE and of course you need a very good mapping between a CVE and the breaks commit and fix commit and long-term plan is to automatically generate detection rules based on a breaks commit fix commit and history between them and maybe some manual markup like this line should be present in the sources and this line should also be present in the sources and this line should not be present in the sources and I'm pretty sure it's possible to generate detection rules in more than 80% of the cases this is the end of my presentation thank you for your time, any questions?

Hey guys, I'm a little late getting started this morning. Sorry about that Adjusting the camera Hold on Okay, I just got distracted doing other stuff this morning, you know, it's one of those hey squirrel situations All right, let's see. Let's turn the sound off. I don't need to hear myself twice Okay Yeah, yeah, yeah, at least I'm only three minutes late. I Was actually working on a lifebook page and I got distracted. How is everybody today? Hello Lisa So today we're gonna work on some flowers that was next in your guys on your wishlist for Things that you want to Work on better late than ever. Yeah, thanks, Aaron. Yeah, I mean, you know, at least I remembered, right? I Do have anxiety disorder so me forgetting something is not like that's a new surprising thing those of you who don't know by the way Hey, everybody, how are you? So we're gonna work on some flowers this morning Get my watercolors wet because I haven't done that yet. At least my water is clean When I was cleaning and going through some stuff. Hey, how are you Jerry? I found these two little bookmarks in a pile of things that I did a while back And I think good morning. I think I Showed these on YouTube, I think but anyway, these are two examples of different ways to do flowers And I thought we would work on something like this today. I Really like doing these types of flowers. There are a lot of fun watercolor Wednesday.  I actually even have some Crayola watercolor pencils, which actually these aren't bad Especially for something like doing an undersketch I actually really like the Crayola pencils. Good morning, Michelle So if you don't have a lot of money to spend on supplies think about just going over and Go to you know, your local big box retailer and look for the Crayola watercolor markers I think they came in a set of 12. I got mine at JoAnne's with a coupon But they're not bad My preference for brands is either Derwent or Prima watercolor pencils. I have Derwent watercolor and Derwent intents. I like them very much We're gonna paint flowers this morning. I did see that comment So the first thing we're gonna do is our undersketch now I always start with a color that's much lighter than what I intend to use in My flowers. I should probably go get my reading glasses Hold on Okay I'm not a young anymore, so I can't read the little print. Okay, so this is a Derwent intents. This is red violet This is a Crayola violet, but it's pretty dark So if you have the Crayola, I would say go with like a pink Something that's really light if you have like a Crayola watercolor marker or something like that something that's really light I think this is too dark I'm gonna do my my flowers in No, and we're not gonna use a reference photo.  You could go with a light pink. You could go with a light blue And I'm gonna start out by just putting some circles If we're using any kind of a reference this bookmark here that I this one So I'm gonna start out by putting some circles on My page in this pencil And that's representing my flower centers And I always put at least three I like odd numbers on it on a composition I think it's more interesting than even numbers I also almost never Put every anything smack in the middle and yeah, my paper is completely dry This is the same Watercolor paper we've been using this is the same pad of paper though. What is it 400 series? I keep having to look Yeah for Strathmore 400 series hundred and forty pound watercolor paper And I've got my Daniel Smith paints out next to me next to my arm And it's always interesting if you do you know do one think about doing one like going off the page This is just an under sketch So we've got our three circles and we're gonna come back and we're gonna start to put in a kind of a petal-y shape We're not gonna have it go all the way to meet the center leave a little bit of a gap Yeah, this is a water soluble pencil So when all is said and done you're not gonna have any pencil lines Remember that in nature things aren't even in perfect they are imperfect and Irregular and that makes them more interesting whether you're doing know who that is whether you're doing Trees or grass or flowers are and I guess we should start off the broadcast by warning that the trolls and the Weird people, you know if you just you're gonna get blocked right away So enough with the nasty messages and that wanting to see my Boobs or whatever We're here to watercolor. We're not here to do that. So okay, so you're gonna end up with something that looks like that And this is exactly how I did this No, I'll hold it up a little bit. There we go. Maybe maybe so we're gonna do another one Exactly go find somewhere else to be nasty. This is for art Okay, so now we're gonna do that this next one and what's gonna happen is our flowers are gonna end up overlapping But that's okay We want that and that's how I did this one We just have to decide how we're going whether this one is gonna be on top or this one is gonna be on top And which one's gonna be underneath and I think I want this one to be underneath So I'm gonna draw my petal going this way. Okay, I don't know what that means either and then we've got so we have One petal that's fully underneath the other flower and one petal that's going to be partially underneath and partially running off the page That makes for an interesting composition And if you make any mistakes with your pencil, remember, this is water soluble. So Doesn't matter. It's fine cool, I Don't think so Jerry. I think that you guys can block viewers for me too. All right So now I'm gonna draw this last one Now this one's partially going off the page. So I think that what I'm gonna do is plan out three petals. I Think that's gonna work for me. I have been posting I don't know.  I think to block them comes up But I'm not sure so maybe somebody else can answer that So I was gonna say I've been putting digital copies of some of these watercolor Wednesday Paintings up in my Etsy shop for those of you who would like to get a copy of it And maybe even you can use it as a reference photo You can download it They're inexpensive and it'll help keep me funded so I can keep doing the free lessons for you guys All right, so when all is said and done you're gonna end up with something that looks like that here we go Are you ready? All right, so I of course like really I like purple So we're gonna do these in purple because I really love the way these turned out I'm gonna start out with Let's see We're gonna go pale to lighter, right? So I actually think I'm going to start with a Really light. This is cobalt blue violet It which is really blue, but we're gonna add a lot of water to it We're gonna just use a little bit because we're working lighter to darker, right? And again the paper is still dry And see how the pencil is blending It's dissolving and mixing with the paint. I'm using a pretty big brush and a lot of water Lay some color on Spread it around a bit. We're not looking to really fill the whole Puddle in I'm gonna lift some up So we have some varying shades and tones There we go, and then we'll keep going and we're gonna do the whole flower that way No, you can use any color whatever color you decide if you decide you want your flowers mostly red Start out with a very light pink and work your way darker and as we go We're gonna talk about colors that you can use to define your flower shape and to use them to indicate lightness and brightness and shadow Think about using the unexpected in fact violet if you want to use violet for your flower. I Mean if you want to use another color for your flower violets a good shadow color That's what I meant to say I Honestly have had all my coffee this morning, but I just I don't feel like it. I feel it's one of those days where I feel like I'm Eating more coffee Maybe because I'm stressed out because my daughter's car broke down again She's got my car today.  I swear to God It's always in the shop Now see how that you know depending on how much of the blue violet I have on there and how much it's mixing with the pencil I'm getting different colors different shades. We're okay with it This kind way of doing these messy flowers is all about happy accidents. Yeah, I know I hate I hate her car But you know what if you are in my group on Facebook, I am going to just use it as a Lesson in I can't talk and paint at the same time this morning a Lesson in you know how to work with a happy accident And you know, I have other things to do like catch up on lifebook and be here with you guys today I'm and maybe it's not such a bad thing that I'm carless today And I kind of I kind of told her that I said just take my car be easier than me driving you around Okay, so just work your way around the flower and don't worry about if you get you know a little bit of splattering here and there It just makes your painting more interesting and this is a practice anyway We're learning Course if it turns out well, and you really like it think about scanning your artwork and Take making a copy of it that you can use as collage paper in future works That you can print on bookmarks or note cards. Thank you for all the hearts Now that this appears dry a little bit and this one here, too. Oh Thank you Yeah, she said can you drop me off at school mom tomorrow? I don't have a car I said, you know, I have an appointment with some friends. I need to be at at about the same time You need to be at school. So why don't you just take my car? Just don't you know hit anything with it And hang it up. All right, so we're gonna work our way around and Take some time and just instead of just doing one whole flower and then doing the next whole flower Do the one color over all your flowers Because it gives this one these this one time to dry while you're working down here And then we can come in with the next color without having to resort to the heat gun Nope, yeah, no problem Carol, you know that I will post this on to YouTube We're using our Daniel Smith watercolors again this morning, which is one of my favorites. You all know that and I'm using the cobalt blue violet although on my color card I think I spelled it wrong Which would be no surprise Because my spelling is not the best Look at that. That's a little bit of pigment, but that's mostly the Watercolor pencil has that red in it. So now we're gonna go back up to the top one And now we're gonna start to go darker and I usually always work on my outside petals first Don't you love the way the pencil just starts to dissolve in the paint and it changes the color and it mixes and blends And I love that about this technique I always start with the petals first and get them the way that I want and then I work on the centers So we're gonna keep doing that and I am going to bring in Before we get too far I'm gonna bring in something to I'm gonna use this color. This is new Gamboge and we're gonna You know my palate is kind of messy I need to clean it Okay, so I'm gonna take it here and I'm mixing it with a bunch of water and I'm just splattering it on Today I'm doing this. I'm not wearing a white top like I was yesterday when I did this and got white. I got a CP a colored paint all over my white shirt Water-soluble same. Yeah, same as watercolor and so now I'm gonna just come in with some water And I'm gonna take some of these splatters and spread them out a little bit and This will make your painting, you know, look sun-kissed give it some life and some light And that's what you want Now because we have yellow and violet on here this yellowy orange color before you add any more You want to prevent this yellow Orangy color from mixing too much more with the violets. I'm gonna be adding on here because you'll just get brown So we're gonna have to break out the heat gun And basically I just dry it with a heat gun until it's not shiny anymore, which is why I tilt the paper You can blow on it or use a straw. Yeah You can use an old hairdryer to do this.  So now I'm gonna come in with something that's a little bit more pink I Have this color called Rose of Ultramarine, which I just love which is a really red purple and I'm not gonna water it down too much a little bit and We're gonna start by going into our petals Yeah, we're gonna start by going into our petals You know around the parts of the petal that would be darker where the shadows would be lay your color in and then you can Just use water to Blend it with the other colors that are around it. Don't go too far with the color before you get back in with a water Because this is a color that will stain and then just A damp brush. I'm just blotting it off on my rag So that it's damp, but it's really it's just picking up some of the pigment and water and it's not laying anymore down It's lifting Okay We'll keep doing that all the way around So I don't always know but my general rule for painting with watercolor is that the darker the color is the more it's probably gonna stain and Your artist watercolors tend to stain more than your Inexpensive student grade or craft grade watercolors do The other thing you should be aware of is you know, there's nothing wrong with No, I didn't stamp first. I sketched it first with a watercolor pencil There's nothing wrong with starting with a set of inexpensive watercolor paints like Crayola if that's all you can afford Just be aware that if you really like the painting I advise that you scan it with your computer While it's fresh Because I know all those of you with kids also know, you know Your kids do little drawings and paintings for you when they're little by the time they're grown-ups those paintings are a lot less bright and Or are completely gray because all of those colors those colors have no lice light fastness to them So, you know with time and with age and exposure to the, you know air those colors turn gray or they just fade out completely so An artist grade watercolors don't do that But for just for practicing and playing there's nothing wrong with getting started with just, you know, Crayola guy That's all I had to begin with So I sketched out our shapes with a Watercolor pencil no sealer walled stop them from fading not with the index especially the kids like Crayola paints Unfortunately, so now you're starting to get Some really great tones now before I move to the next flower. I'm going to take some of the same color And I'm going to add it in a few places. I'm straight out of the half pan not mixed with any water or anything So it's really dark and I'm going to add it in a few places Around the edges outer edges of our petals And then I'm going to come in with my brush with just water on it. I blotted it off first so it's not too too wet and I'm going to add the water towards the center of the flower so the color will blend and bloom towards the middle of the flower If you post a comment and I miss it I'll try to let you know post it again loving. Yeah, I love I Have always loved the uncontrolled look of watercolor and I have not ever been a painter that Wants to control a lot where the color goes. I Love working with the splatters and the splotches and the uncontrolled, you know nature of watercolor I'm making it into something that's really pretty That's not for everybody, but that's definitely for me. Okay, so I'm going to just work my way around Yeah, the other thing with the artist watercolors the Especially the Daniel Smith's but also like the schmink and those kind of brands is that they really are very strongly pigmented So a little bit of them goes a really long way Whereas with some of the others You know to get the same bright vibrant colors. You have to use more paint I do have water to color sample kits in my Etsy shop As of a couple of days ago and you can get a selection of eight of my favorite colors and brands With a few pieces of watercolor paper and there's a 20% off coupon I Think it's GBA fall 20 You have to pay you have to buy ten dollars a minimum of ten dollars at the Etsy in my Etsy shop So now we're going back in like we did with the other one Yeah, and I tried to you know, I have lots of favorite colors, but I tried to pick eight colors that would complement not only complement whatever you guys already may have but That by themselves would be an interesting travel palette They're not exactly primary colors, but they would be interesting So I'm really wanting to add a little bit of this dark color right here. So we're gonna do that Now this purple is very warm because it's so red So when I start coming in with some other colors, I need to really do a cooler color I almost lost control of my paintbrush there for a second My arthritis has been acting up like crazy No color rules Just play an experiment that's the best way to learn about color rules and what you find that is gonna work for you And what isn't is to just play an experiment Of course you should if you want to get serious into painting you should probably learn something about color theory And you know if you were on my Monday with deco art last week Where we did color mixing, you know That's an exercise that should be done with acrylic paint and watercolor You should you know the best way to learn about what colors you like to mix and which ones you don't is to mix them The best way to learn about making mud is to make mud So Yeah, that's something you should all do see I waited a little too long there see we have this line here so I'm gonna go in and try to cover it Yeah, yeah, you know Cheryl. I got to give you some credit for all that canning I used to do all that canning and make my own pickles and Everything I missed the YouTube comment. Can you please post that again? I looked up and it was already fading Yeah, it's time-consuming doing canning at least make our own tomato sauce and can it not freeze it can it Now I still do some of that, but I just put it in the freezer And I don't make as much of it as I used to you know, it's just my husband and I know so I don't have any grandchildren At least not yet, so So there we go, that's already looking interesting, right? All right, so now we're gonna come in with a cooler color and I have quedocridone purple. Oh, yes I'm sorry. Yes, it is up on YouTube. See that's the that's the comment that I missed it is up on YouTube All of the I'm gonna mix some more of that blue violet into the quedocridone purple All of the periscope videos start out with the title says recorded live on periscope So look for the one that says Monday with deco art and it should say color blending or color mixing something like that So now we're gonna continue and we're gonna come up here because this one's dry You are welcome and basically if you missed the Monday with deco art video, I do recommend you watch it But basically what you should do is you should make a chart and blend all of your colors with all of your colors, so you brand blend like you are Say yellow. What is this fancy yellow medium with every single other color in your palette to see what happens? and Make yourself a chart so this is a much cooler color than the one we just put on and you don't necessarily need to put it everywhere But you want to put it in those places where the shadows would be more prominent and remember if our edges Lighter what Cheryl so I'm gonna Put this in oh It's not Lighter it it's about the same tone shade. It's just cool. It's a cooler color because it has less red in it than the other one It's more blue and this is the watered down version because I added I added a lot of water to it like I did initially with the Rose of ultra marine So I'm gonna take a little bit of this color and I'm gonna add it to my centers, which we've kind of ignored up until now Yes, so when I paint and this is Something I do with both watercolor and acrylic is I tend to think of my colors as warm colors and cool This will give this a minute to dry. So this is a good thing to talk about So when you look at your color chart, this is the color key that goes with this watercolor set if you look at it and you think of that less as a color and more as a temperature and You look at your chart which colors look hotter, which ones look cooler? So all of your yellows most of your reds They and some of your greens they look warmer than say the blues and of course the Browns and the sepia but also too when you're just talking even about reds like the Two reds here the qued aquedome red looks much warmer than the queen magenta, which has a little bit of blue in it The if you look at the greens, these are both green But the sap green looks much warmer than the cascade green. So think about your colors in the Respect of temperature and which ones will suggest warmth or Or coolness or darkness to the viewer of your painting That was really complicated probably more complicated than I tended to get this morning Okay, so now we are going to switch to a little or I'm gonna eat no I take that back I'm gonna use this brush to begin with I'm going to you're welcome I'm going to go in with Color moon glow. Let's go moon glow.  It is a gray purple Hey, no problem. You know what these live watercolor Wednesdays are for questions. That's what I'm here for So and if I like I said if I miss a question you guys ask it again if you need to Get me later on Facebook if you're not a member of my Facebook group yet a life of art and self-expression How come? Go and join and That's a great place to catch me to answer question to ask questions Also, you can catch me in Cindy udders. I am group and crazy island family all on Facebook You can find all of my social media links on my website Gina be errands comm and You can find my Etsy store by searching by going to my website I have fan funding on my YouTube to try to Make a little money so that I can keep doing these free live sessions sessions with you guys There are I think my website too also has my email link so you can always email me through the website, too But I think if you go to the contact me page that all of my Social media links are there it's either on the contact be page or there's a page for calendars and events I don't remember but search around. It's looking interesting. So now I think I want to actually bring in some Pains gray Do I want to bring in pains gray? I Think I'm you know, I'm really wanting to bring in some of this color It's really orange. I know it's like quiddox red on gold and I'm actually putting it between the flowers in the background I'm gonna add some water This is a really warm color WWW dot Gina be errands comm and I'll spell it for you because nobody gets my last name, right? G I N a B is in boy a H R E NS and if you google that name, I should come up a whole bunch of different places I've been on the internet for a long time. So I like that before we That's it before we do our pop We have we're gonna dry this because I don't mind if the pains gray mixes a little bit But I want to be able to control it. So I'm gonna dry this a little bit. You like it now wait till we wait for the next step So we're not gonna dry it completely. We're gonna but we're gonna dry it a bit. So it's not so wet It still has some wet spots, so I don't know if y'all can see that but it's still wet in a few places It's just not as wet as it was a minute ago So now we're gonna go into our pains gray, which is a dark blue gray and One of my favorite paint colors in both watercolor and acrylic and we're gonna start out by taking the very tip of our round brush And this is by the way a royal Round number 24. It's kind of a larger round brush But you can definitely do it with any round brush and I'm gonna barely touch the tip of the brush to the paper and I'm going to just take some lines and they're gonna wear it. It's wet. It's going to bleed and blend But it's not going to do that everywhere and that's what we want then I'm gonna come in with a little bit more pains gray right here in the center and I'm going to clean my brush off and I'm going to blend that towards the flower center like that That starts to make your flower really pop while that dries a bit. We'll do the next one. So again, we're gonna Pull these out Don't make them all the same length. You know, it's like when you're doing grass You want them to be different lengths some short some long So they look less like hair follicles pains gray is such a great color. I totally agree with that statement It just seems to make everything just pop and shine That probably it's a great neutral and when you're painting with bright colors You really need a neutral to offset those brights and just really make them look more interesting Now, of course, you could do some of this with pens or markers, but what's the fun in that? We're playing with watercolor paint Not that there's anything wrong with that and if you're doing a mixed media piece and you want to accent your flowers later After it's a dry with some gel pens or something. There's nothing wrong with that But try it first with the paint and see how far you can get so now we're going to do this one And every time I do these flowers, they come out a little bit differently But you see what I mean about this dark really making those brights pop You need to have something you need to have a good balance of your brights your darks and your really lights to make Your paintings really pop and come to life Don't just make them all, you know the same tone of color Make sure you add something really dark in there and maybe even something really light in there and that'll make it really pop so It does So now I'm going to take some of my paints gray While those centers are drying and I'm going to use it like I did on this to define some of the petal edges Now on this one here, we have this one petal that's underneath the flower this petal down here would be pretty dark So we're going to darken it up with the paints gray and then that makes the one on top of it really stand out There would be a shadow here because this one again is underneath the one on top of it now on the original little bookmark I did more outlining. I don't know if I'm going to do that this time But I you never I never know until the end and there's nothing you know wrong with turning your painting around and giving yourself a Different perspective. I almost stuck my paintbrush in the wrong color Oops Yeah, this has a softer look than the bookmark and I like that and just like with the rest of the paintings so far You want to work your way from darker to lighter. I Mean lighter to darker. Holy cow. See, I don't even know what I'm talking about Okay, and just keep working your way around your painting now remember to when you're painting with watercolor that you want to Try to if you want white in your painting then the best thing to do is try to leave things white You can go back with like Chinese white and add highlights, which I will probably do on this one before we're done But you can also just leave part of the paper white I never seem to manage to do that without using masking fluid Which masks off and protects part of the paper from the paint so and it doesn't seep underneath So now I'm just I'm dipping my paintbrush in the straight paint gray And I'm just darkening out my petals and then lifting if I get too much Now if you find that you want to lift more than the paintbrush is letting you do don't be afraid to get in there with your rag And then if you get rag marks you can always get back in there with the water and on your brush and move it around Masking fluids very cool.  We'll work on that in an upcoming Episode we'll work on math masking fluid. So we have that it's looking it's looking good Okay, now I'm gonna now switch to a smaller brush I think we're done with the big brush at least for right now We may come in and I may do something a little extra on here other than I did on the original I'm going to grab a Princeton select this is a round number four. It's a much smaller brush And I'm going to we're gonna stick with the paint gray, but I want to dry this a little bit The original brush was a royal Watercolor brush. This is a round number 24 It's a fairly large brush and it's a fairly cheap brush. I think I got it at Tuesday morning in a set You're welcome. Yeah, you know your brushes don't have to be expensive They also don't have to be natural Bristol brushes. I actually prefer synthetic You can definitely you can live with the rag You can also you know instead of drying it quick like I'm doing you can You know put some salt in the flower centers and let it dry naturally and that'll give your painting some your flower center some texture For the most part time to come out pretty colorful and pretty dark But you definitely don't have to do that.  Hey, I prefer a larger brush for a lot of things But I have lots of brushes because I you know like paint colors I gotta stop going to the store when there's paintbrush sales My favorite brand are the Princeton select which are the blue handle brushes They're not a super expensive brush. I do have a couple of those though, but they're really expensive I have one Is it this one? No, not that one I have one that's really expensive Was like sixty five dollars for one paintbrush. Oh this one. Nope, not that one I don't know. It's in here somewhere Well here Raphael soft Aqua this brush this little brush is really expensive And it's a natural bristle brush and I love it for doing washes because that it is natural bristle bristle It holds a lot of water and you can go real far with it without redipping it in the water but the bristles also get very soft and floppy and the Synthetic bristles don't really do that. So I think that's why I like them better. I Like a stiffer brush Yeah, exactly large would help you get loose.  I'm using it straight out of the pan Then I'm going to take some more of the paint and I'm going to go around the flower center And then I'm going to take some plain water and I'm going to blend There we go and look at how that makes that just totally pop. So let's do that to the other ones and When you do that now you have the edges dark the center is lighter So now it starts to look at least 2d if not 3d, right? So we'll do our dots and we're not I'm not changing colors I'm still using the panes gray Now you could you do some of these techniques to do Sunflowers Roses it did they don't even have to be a real flower It could be you know something made up out of your imagination and this probably won't be the last time we do flowers Because there is a million and one if not more ways to do flowers and I happen to like painting flowers Sunflowers are fun So I do recommend that if you are in my Facebook group Go into the document that Jerry Molini created one of the admins for Watercolor Wednesday, and she put suggestions They're basically their suggestions for an upcoming schedule So if there's something in particular you want to see go add it to the schedule and That's what we'll work on Yet you could totally do butterflies this way and I have done on an old Watercolor Wednesday I did a butterfly. There's a watercolor Wednesday playlist on YouTube So now I'm going in with the paints gray and the littler brush, and I'm just I'm defining some of those petals some more I'm really making them pop and stand out from one another and I'm painting this one. I'm pulling this one out by creating Space around it painting around it and pulling it out by painting the space behind it Which is another Technique and I've done whole flowers that way.  Oh, thank you That's actually a clock that we've actually fixed a few times because we are hesitant to Get rid of it when it's broken Because it was a wedding present from my in-laws and my father-in-law is no longer with us. So It's got some sentimental value. I've gotten used to it people come to spend the night and they're like, what is that dang noise? I'm like, oh, sorry, that's the clock So you don't have to blend all the lines You can just do blend some of them and you can add some little lines and dashes to the edges of your flowers to Help define them and then you can come in and you can Just blend some of them Leaving your brush marks Gives your painting some interest And I'm kind of making a wiggly ruffle the edge around some of my flower petals Where they're a little bit too straight and flat. It really makes them start to pop Exactly. So now those yellows and oranges look like sun hitting the flowers, right? And that's what we wanted So when you're doing this and you're adding the darker colors Don't add the darker colors into a spot. That's already got some of you know, that's already got light That's light on the petal without some thought Keep your darks darks and your lights lights At this point, you know, like right here is a dark side of the petal. So I'm gonna add it here But I'm not gonna add it right here because I want that to stay light and bright I don't know if any of that made sense It didn't my head I'm gonna show you in a minute how to we're gonna suggest some leaves on here I would love it if you guys share what you do from today's lesson in the Facebook group. I'd love to see it I know so would everybody else Okay, I'm glad it made sense to somebody Besides just me. I could just go to town here all day with the pains gray Can you tell? No, don't outline don't don't outline the whole thing just you know The areas of your petal that are already, you know darker because that's where the darker paint landed That's what you want to really define with the dark pains gray paint Try to avoid using black because it's not as interesting and try to avoid blending all the marks like right there You know, I added these marks I didn't I didn't blend them and I like that way that that's looking so I'm not going to blend them And I'm gonna leave it now. I'm gonna show you We're gonna go back to the bigger brush And we're gonna pick a green and I'm gonna start out with green gold Which is a very yellowy green here and I prefer I prefer yellowy greens. That's my preference if you make me choose one I Always go for sap green or yellowy green and I am going to Suggest some leaves. So I'm gonna pick some spots on here to lay down some green color You know like with anything else I prefer to do things in threes So we're gonna do that Then I'm going to Rinse my brush off and grab some water And I'm going to pull those out pull that green out I'm gonna also pull it in between The petals if it's appropriate And we're doing a suggestion of a petal leaf. We're not doing an actual leaf.  Oh, we're gonna go in with a darker green So I've got cascade green, which is a very blue green This is cascade green That's almost like an evergreen christmas tree color And we're gonna lay that in And then we're gonna take some water And we're gonna push it around Okay, then we're gonna take some of our original color we started with Oh, maybe not. No, we're gonna go with solidite So you could go back with the cobalt blue violet, but I think I'm going to go with solidite, which is A sort of a pans gray type color. It's a lot bluer And it's right next to the cobalt blue violet And I'm gonna lay some of that in And then just like with everything else I'm gonna pull it out Push it around Don't be afraid to do this either.  Those dots will still be there, but they'll be less noticeable If you're really concerned about it, cover your flowers up first before you do that I'm wanting to go in here with a little bit of these. I do want to And this is the solidite color. This is the really dark solidite color some really dark splatters Something like that Oh my god, you know, we're like color key So something like that play with it and have fun and don't be afraid to make it splattery and messy and um Now we want to go this way There we go. So don't be afraid to make it splattery and messy and have fun with it. Thank you Do you guys have any questions? This is how I did this one um Basically the same colors too, I think Thank you And these definitely could be scanned and you could um, you know Use it as an element in a journal page Um, you could use it as a bookmark. You could use it as a greeting card cover Um, I am like I said scanning these and putting them as a digital download in my etsy shop.     And I told him when I either varnish it or it goes to its forever home because otherwise i'm tempted to forever play with them Just the truth it's still soft. That's the thing I like about the sign chinese white. It's still soft um You could also use like um white gouache, which is a water soluble like watercolor paint, but it's more um opaque Then your watercolor is more transparent You're welcome. So play and have some fun and make some flowers. Don't forget to go into um The facebook group and upload update the document with other things that you guys like to see like somebody suggested sunflowers I don't know if you guys want to do roses Um other kind of flowers or whatever you would like to see butterflies or whatever and um add them to the schedule Every single wednesday as long as I am not out of town or something. We will be here and I will see you all later Have a great day And this will be up on youtube Within like 48 hours the name of the facebook group is a life of art and self expression And you can um also find information about me on jena b erins dot com So that is the way you spell my name if you google this name a whole bunch of stuff is going to come up Including my website and other things and the name of the group again is a life of art and self expression We have a document for watercolor wednesdays You can add your suggestions to the list with the next wednesday date and we will um be going by the list Going forward and every time that we do one of these I'll try to bring something new to the table like today We did the initial sketch with the water soluble pencils And um every week I'll try to bring something new like that to the table And I'd love to see what you guys make and if you have any questions you can tag me in the group Or you can um email me um from the website and uh we'll take it from there Have a great day everybody.

My first time coming here. Your first time, how are you finding Kenya so far? Are you liking the food, the ladies? Tell us everything, how has been your experience? Everything about Kenya is beautiful. Let me let you guys know. I just want to let you guys know you guys are really blessed. I've been around some few places, I went to Mubasa and I saw beautiful places, beautiful, natural things around. I feel blessed in Kenya for the first time and I feel like I'm home already. And yeah, I've had Ogali, Ogali and that's my favorite, right? Ogali, aha, Ogali. And the Kenya girls, I was like 100%, 100% they are beautiful. Ah, amazing, you know, I didn't think you would like Ogali for the first time, if you go to trade for the first time there you'll be like, ah, but I'm glad you love it. You often speak Kenyan, if you like Ogali or Kenyan. Let's just get started with that. So you're from Sierra Leone, right? Ya, I'm from Sierra Leone. You grew up in Liberia, or you schooled in Liberia. Tell us about that. Um, from Sierra Leone I schooled in Sierra Leone. Primary school and later went to Liberia to continue my music career. And I was there for the past 9 to 10 years, you know, went to Ghana, Nigeria, you know, to do music. And I was once like best rapper in Liberia 2016 to 2017, artist of the year Africa for Liberians and best collaboration that year. You know, I won it, 2 hours that time. So like here, I do Liberian Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone Liberia music. So like I rap in Kolokwa and I mix it with Krio when I was in Liberia. Now I rap in Krio, Krio is the general language you know, for the Sierra unions. I rap in Krio and I mix it with the Kolokwa. The Kolokwa is the general language too for Liberia on the side. So like my flow is kind of in between Sierra Leone and Liberia. Alright, that's pretty dope. And he's one of the, one of the, I'm not even like trying to gas him up, but he's literally one of the fastest rap parts we have in Africa. But you're going to have to do something for us later on. Okay. But then your journey didn't start right now. You've been doing this for a minute since you were like 12. And also who inspired you to start like rapping back then and has that changed?  Nobody can tell me nothing. I used to, I used to have much more to do. I would say, I would say like her, I choose my mom, Obi, you know, she loves music so much. And then, but I have many to say, half people have been looking up, you know, to people like Pupa Banjo, you know, he was once like the fastest rapper for civilian. Right. Yeah, so big shout out to him and also Shadow Boxer. We have few people, but like these are the two main people.  Right. Yeah. And of course a lot of people compare you to Takodi. Like, I don't know why that is, but he's actually a pretty fast rapper as well. So I don't know, is that where the comparison comes from? The fact that he raps really fast. He raps really fast. And I would say big shout out to Takodi and I would say he's a big brother in the game. And I would say like, for me, I'm from, you know, I'm from, I'm in Kono, you understand. So the Kono industry look alike the same. So when you rap in Creole, you understand, mix it with English. It sounds a little bit of pigeon. Right. You understand. So like the energy, I would say like Takodi and I, like we all have the same energy, you understand, we have rapping because I've been doing this for a very long time. You understand. So like, yeah, been listening to Takodi also, like people say like, oh yeah, Takodi and Speedo like do rap the same, but I have my own way of rapping. I'm Speedo. I rap like Speedo, I go too fast and I switch also, you know, Takodi has his own style. Yeah. But like if you compare the energy, I would say like, okay, Speedo and Takodi like, you know, raps the same with the same energy and the same speed. Right. Yeah. And let's talk about, if you know cultures believe through to make it, you have to, you know, I don't know, beef it some. Okay. At least in Kenya and of course we see that same in the U.S. as well. Is it the same in Liberia and Sierra Leone? Of course. Of course. Yeah. The hip hop game in Sierra Leone is not a joke. Like people really like take it serious. If you're in beef with someone, you know, they take it serious. They don't joke with it. Yeah. So even in Liberia too. So it's more of a Sure. Especially in Sierra Leone. Especially in Sierra Leone but people need to know that it's a business. But it's also good again for the culture. It's good for the culture. It spice up the game in Sierra Leone. You know. So yeah. All right. And in Kenya, how can you compare the Kenyan scene with Sierra Leone? And because I saw you have, you're working on a collab with Caligrafe. I don't know if that's true. What on the street? Rumor has it that he is working on something. With the OG himself, Caligrafe Jones is that true and how can you compare the two scenes? I would say like first of all, I'm proud of I'm proud of all the Kenyan artists here. Yeah. And then I would say to them that they are working and I'm proud also of OG, the Caligrafe. Caligrafe Jones. I'm proud of him because like it's not doing it for all the Kenya but doing it for the whole of Africa. Right. It's making name out there.  It's making big wave out there. So like whenever somebody from out there like say okay like I'm coming to Kenya, people expect a collaboration from you and the OG. Of course. You know that. You know what I mean. Of course. So like yeah for everything right now also like me like I like to like work on something on the low you understand after I finish with everything if I go through with everything then before letting the public know.  Yeah. Everything is on pending right now. Oh it's pending.  Okay. You know our bloggers are over walking. These are you the Caligrafe. Yeah sure. And they're like okay something is cooking. Something is cooking. All right. So do you play Kenyan music back in Sierra Leone or how do you know any Kenyan artists well apart from Caligrafe do you know any Kenyan artists do you play Kenyan music? Yeah. We used to like back in the days then my mom and my daddy understand back in the days like people used to you know back then and also like the Swahili vibe it's kind of unique you understand when you sing in Swahili you know it has that kind of unique style you know what I said that makes you to like still vibe with the song you understand and secondly I've been following like few artists from Kenya here also and we have this female Nazi something you know like I just like always like miss her name and Otelo Brown Is it Nadia? Is that Nadia? Nadia Nadia and also Otelo and I've heard of like Katapila Oh Yeah so like also Tivo simple boy like yeah I think so yeah so you know like this like even like the OG song for now I would say Caligrafe like some of these songs are playing out there you understand some of these songs are playing out there and also the invincible in currency album is really really dope yeah so like people are vibing to it out there we love that it's really really good we love to see that and I also like I'm proud of you guys and we out there you understand as Africans you know we are proud of you guys too and we are proud of you thank you so much for coming through in Kenya and you know just for representing your country our celebs should do that right? we will be welcome are they welcoming as if you're coming or you don't fix for him or they're gonna be like I'm gonna stay with the vibe you just mix it you vibe sometimes but we love to see it so we are coming to tour Kenyan artists they're here in studio we okay thank you so much Nani but we have Kenyan artists right here in studio oh yeah they have to come to Sierra Leone as well okay of course a little in Liberia right okay now let's talk about the talk talk of town movement talk of the town movement yeah talk of the town movement yeah it's started that yeah I started that and it's a big movement you know I've been growing and struggling with talk of the town movement since I was in Liberia with my whole team you know we have established talk of the town movement in Gambia and also some parts of Ghana Kaswa and then I have fan base all over right you know and big shout out to my Liberian people because they all started you know this thing with me you know I mean so like Sierra Leone talk of the town movement is worldwide I will see for now and I also have like few fan based you know team here to working you know I mean we talk of the town movement so like yeah it's all over we'll have to see that talk of the town and and 12 bars that's one of your songs that stood out for me how did that come about 12 bars yeah that's a huge song tell us about that a little bit 12 bars like okay 12 bars is a freestyle like I decided to like you know like drop it's a wanting shot you understand that I drop for people who are like they see me in the game you understand like if you listen to the song like they set up a 12 bars against me you understand you use my brothers to fight against me you understand cause like we have some set of people in the industry whenever they see like you coming up hard they go against you you understand they go against you and they try to like find people that will knock you down you understand so like I was just trying to like express myself through that song you understand I didn't even see match all that like it's just 12 bars you understand so like those who know them say if you know that it's with stuff yeah oh alright thank you by the way for following that song of course we do and of course you're here you just released a song as we wind up tell us about mine mine is there the song you just released a few days ago so maybe you can tell us about that okay big shout out to Veens on the beat and the DJ stone the Unko Dima man DJ stone by the way I will say my song is special for all my Kenyan girls right you understand so Jambo Jambo okay fine I pull up in Kenya I see this girl and say Jambo came back and turn around and say to me Sinamambo and that's what we just did here ah okay okay okay I didn't see that one coming that was really dumb you caught me off guard like hands down that was super super amazing so thank you so much for coming through and of course we told people you are one of the fastest rappers we have right here in Africa so before you go you have to do that for us just do something let me see is the one on thegie they want me to be a lucifer they want to so I will put on my energy so first bro master rank who is master rank wtk bilmiyorum super super fast you were super talented and we are so glad that you came too and maybe you can tell us your socials We want to know more about your music and why you're here and tourist.

Hello and welcome back to Forza Horizon 4. Here on the channel we are staring at the beautiful Aurora Borealis over the Needle Drift Zone here on the expansion with those festival lights going on down there. So we are here to do a little bit of a challenge that was actually issued to me on Instagram by h22prelude2k. He goes I challenge you to take the Volvo Iron Knight and drift it on Needle Climb Drift Zone in Horizon 4. My best score uphill is 201k and my best downhill is 209. Think you can beat me. Well challenge accepted dude and then actually after that he sent me another message and a video saying that his new highest downhill is actually 223k now in the Iron Knight. So we are here we're on the top of the Needle Drift Zone. Those bright headlights are for that Iron Knight that is chilling right there. I've drifted this thing before but I've never tried to do points drifting with it. So we're going to try to do points drifting on the full wheel here today and see if we can't beat him. We're going to go up and down a couple times third person and first person with that drift camera and see if we can't beat this man's challenge. Definitely super excited to give this a shot. We are going to be using the full fan attack 900 degrees of rotation and let's get our little wheel cam ready to go. Put my mouse up there out of the way and we're good to go. So we're going to go try this. Not sure how this is going to work out. Oh fail. We're good. Had to turn off my controller. So we're not sure how this is going to go. Definitely been a minute since I've been in Horizon 4 and this thing without an angle kit or anything is definitely going to be interesting. But we're just going to send it and see how this goes. Hopefully we can do this challenge a little justice and already the lack of steering angle is kind of messing with me. I'm going to hold myself down and get back to the original field of drifting without an angle kit. Using a lot more brake. Oh man. So not as easy as it looks. And I don't think I'm going to get it on this first run down. But oh my it does not want to slide. I put a spoiler on it recently to try to help with some rear grip issues that I had last time. I believe I was driving this car and yeah I don't think we're getting it on this first downhill but we will give this a couple more tries. I am not sure how this man got that score but then again this is just the first try and I haven't been on Horizon 4 in a while. I've been on 7 so give me maybe a run or two to get back into the swing of it. And we should be up there hopefully in the 200k marker with this Iron Knight. It just doesn't want to pull back. I feel like I could probably use the ebrake to pull that back some but it's going to let it go. Oh it's a big girl and it just doesn't want to slide how I need it to yet. But like I said first time back on the mountain and first attempt down is a 178. So close but not close enough. My top score on this is 460 but that was with believe my Evo. So we're going to go up uphill again. So I'm thinking a fourth and we're going to probably switch up into first person. Left foot brake is going to be my friend. Daylight is a come in. Hold that. Don't lose that. Oh there we go. Oh game. Horizon.  Don't fail me. Why? This thing just once you stall this thing it just does not want to go. Of course could be the gear and everything I have set up on it but that little horizon glitch kind of screwed me up. I felt we were on a very good tear in the beginning section of this course. Oh don't fall off the edge. That would be the end of this run instantly trying to get as many points as we can but also stay as fluent as we can. Don't walk down there. Keep this thing sideways. Your brake is my friend right now. So it's my left foot brake. I feel like we could be on a good run. This could be a 200K uphill run. We may be in the 200Ks but I'll fall off and die. Oh my. Come on. Don't fail it. Almost there so close.  So 209 uphill so we did beat his uphill score but now we're going to beat that 223 downhill. This is going to be interesting. This is definitely challenging to say the least. So I think we're going to switch the camera up and I wasn't even in the right drift view. Oh wow. We're going to run this in first person. See how this works in first person downhill. Oh it's not going to work. I feel like I'm so high up. It's because I am but we're going to try our best. Save it. Just don't die too much on the snow. I think the snow is actually helping give this thing sideways and kind of keep it sideways but it could also be hurting me as well. Always tricky on that section. This thing is definitely tricky on a wheel. I believe that man was on a controller. A little controller wheel battle. Oh my gosh. It's the first person. Not working out the best but we're going to definitely try and salvage this run. Not like that we're not. Oh this is challenging. Definitely a very fun challenge to be issued to myself here. Driving in first person is definitely a lot trickier in this semi for sure. Oh and I'm not sure if we're going to be able to do any better going uphill in first person at all. So first person definitely tricky. I feel like I should get a very good uphill score. Maybe even beat his top downhill score going uphill if this thing would turn. So we can give it another go here. This big thank you to this man for issuing me a little bit of a challenge on Instagram. So if you guys have a challenge or something you guys would like to challenge me to just shoot me a direct message on Instagram all of which is found in the description box below and maybe I will make a little video about it and see if I can do your challenge but you got to make sure you give me some proof and they'll say oh I got 10 million points on a wheel on a drift zone. Give me a little bit of proof about it so I can you know show it up there and you know make sure you know it's not a fish story for sure. There we go. There's a nice good line. Got a Jeep up here. Somebody's doing some rock crawling on a snowy horizon format. So glad I'm done with snow in my hometown. So glad to be out of winter. If I could lie. Oh no don't lose it. Itch my head. Don't lose it. We're on a pretty decent uphill run. I got such a heavy foot with this truck. I need to like smooth my throttle control down a little bit. Well I think we could actually oh if I wouldn't have straightened up there I probably could have gotten higher than 223 on the uphill. So we're gonna try a downhill and third person again see if we can't beat his 223 here in this iron night. Now that I kind of got a feels for it. There we go. A little bit better through that section just modulating my throttle. Let me make sure don't over throttle this big big behemoth of a semi like I just did there. So it doesn't really want to kick sideways what I wanted to but oh that's definitely gonna be some major loss of points there. Got my phone blowing up right now. Let me know when I'm drifting. Doing semi slide stuff. Gotta go down the gear. Down the second this thing blocks down when you're not in power. Just the grazer on that flag. Oh that was nice. That was a nice actual section right there. Clutch kicks there. Staying in staying in angle. I think we I think we got you man. I think we got that over 223 but it did take me a few runs but we were able to get as long as it don't fail. I still gotta finish the drift zone. Oh no as I say that we go completely sideways. Just go through the rails. Don't care. Oh so we were at 237. Add a few more points on to that number right now. So 262 on a bit of a shaky run in this iron night. Big definitely big thank you to 22 Prelude for issuing me this little challenge. Popped this thing in the seventh. Definitely a lot of fun if you guys have any other challenges that you guys would like to see on the channel or challenges from yourself. Let me know down either I would say in the comments but direct message be on Instagram. All that you found in the description box below. Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter. If you aren't subscribed please tap that subscribe button. I do appreciate the support. As always thank you guys for watching. I'm EvilRabbit and this thing is a big beast. We got that. I'll see you guys next time. Okay there it is. I was wondering when the spin out was going to come. Okay.


So we had talked about Dr. Gottman identified these four problem behaviors that come up in relationships and essentially it's criticism, defensiveness, uh, stonewalling and contempt. And within the very first session of therapy, I want for people to identify what their weapon of choice is, which essentially means I don't want you. It's really easy to say, well, my partner's constantly criticizing me. My constant, but they're constantly putting me down. But I don't want to hear about that because I want them to first develop the skill of being able to own what's going on for them. So what is your weapon of choice of those four? Which do you use most often? Because we'll notice that in relationships, it's just one big cycle. So if you're critical, most likely your partner's going to be defending themselves a lot. So that's probably one of the first things that I do is an exercise in taking a look at yourself. What are you doing and owning it? When we talk about these four horsemen, you know, I think a big part of this show is trying to help our audience raise their own self-awareness. And I know myself in understanding emotional bids, becoming a better listener, I had to take a look at myself. So for our audience who, you know, obviously, this is the first time they may be encountering this idea of the four horsemen, how do they identify their weapon of choice? What are some ways that we can go about understanding, okay, you know, I tend to stonewall when I'm in these situations, how do we find that out about ourselves? Criticism would be one of the four horsemen. And essentially, you see something that is not right in your relationship. You see something that you have a problem with. I always use the example, not that my husband would do this, because I would never throw him under the bus. But he just robes next to the bed every single night. And so at the, at the end of the week, there's a pile of clothes next to the bed, because the man doesn't hang anything back up and he doesn't put it in a hamper. So rather than looking at that as a problem and wanting to try and solve the problem, I would come to him and I would say, why are you such a freaking slob?  So now I'm attacking him and I'm criticizing his character by calling him a slob. And I'm taking something that's external, it's a problem, but it's outside of him and his character. And I'm actually attacking his character. So that would be a criticism is complaining about a situation. And rather than complaining, I'm criticizing him. So that would be one is criticism and criticism and defensiveness go hand in hand. So the second one would be defensiveness and defensiveness is essentially feeling as if you're being personally attacked, attacked by your partner. And it could be if I had come to my partner and said, why are you such a slob? He might want to defend himself and he would say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, why are you coming at me with all of this? Have you seen the kitchen right now? You just got done cooking yesterday and all of the dishes are crusted over. So now he's counter attacking by defending himself. So that would be number two is one of the other four horsemen. The third one is stonewalling. And we see stonewalling often in men. Dr. Gottman said that of the ones that he had studied of people who use stonewalling, 80% of them are men. It doesn't mean that women don't stonewall, but it tends to show up more often in men. And stonewalling is when you're physically present with your partner and you're having a conversation. But at some point you check out and you do everything we've talked about body language, your body language is essentially showing I'm disengaged. I'm not interested. I'm not listening to you. And you're putting up a stonewall.  You're giving your partner zero attention, zero nodding. Right now you're nodding along. That would not be stonewalling. Okay. So stonewalling is a way to self soothe, but it's not a healthy way because if you were stonewalling me right now, I would probably raise, I would raise my voice. I would counter attack. I would do whatever I could to try and pull you out. And it's a nasty cycle that couples get into. That's where I think a lot of times conversations start to escalate. And the person who's stonewalling is really trying to do everything they can, not to escalate the conversation. They're trying to keep it at this level that feels safe. So they're retreating inward. But the listener, the person on the other end of the conversation just continues to escalate, try to break that stonewall down. I've been known to stonewall from time to time. I hadn't noticed that in our 12 years together. No, it's funny. We're both stonewallers. Now obviously contempt, that one is a bad one. That one sounds really awful in terms of trying to relate together in a relationship and stay a couple. And how does contempt come up? Yeah. So contempt is what Dr. Gottman would refer to as sulfuric acid on the relationship. It's the most deadly of all four of these behaviors. And these are all four behaviors that what he says is are predictive of divorce. And that means that if these are showing up in your relationship and you're doing nothing to contain them and you just let them run rampant, of course it's going to deteriorate and start to erode at the health of the relationship. But contempt is particularly difficult because it tends to show up later on in relationships, typically not seen early in relationships with pre-marital or puppy dog love.  Sarcasm, which is unfortunate because I love sarcasm, shows up a lot. But it's basically what you would consider emotional abuse.    And that happens. I believe it was the contempt part where I first had run into Dr. Gottman's work. And I believe it was in Blink. It was in Malcolm Gladwell's book where they were talking about relationships. And that contempt was the thing that they were being able to pick out that would lead to those relationships not being able to be repaired. And of course, when you get to that point, it's pretty difficult for the other partner to feel secure, happy, healthy in that relationship, right? Some of the first, the criticism and defensiveness, that will happen, of course, as a relationship is blooming. But as we get into stonewalling and contempt, we're talking about exactly that sulfuric acid on that relationship. Yeah. What I think is pretty interesting is when you have a relationship and one partner is the recipient of contempt. So if you're incredibly contemptuous of your partner, the recipient of contempt, it actually erodes and wears down your immune system functioning. So it makes you more susceptible to communicable diseases. You're more likely to get sick. And if you think about it, there are some people that you know in this world that are in these nasty relationships where their partners are incredibly contemptuous of them. And they're just not healthy. They call in sick a lot to work. They look worn down. And it makes perfect sense because we know that the health of the relationship determines the health of your life.  That is brilliant.  And it's, when they see that through video work, it's, it's quite a shock to them. And they're like, wow, no wonder everyone is greeting me and reacting to me in such a certain way when I'm projecting this without even saying anything. Yeah. Yeah. Now that we've identified these behaviors, let's work through actually overcoming these destructive patterns. And, and first off, how do we work around criticism? Because I feel like that one is, is pretty easy for all of us to encounter. We recognize it from time to time. And sometimes it's coming from ourselves and sometimes it's coming from our partner. How do we deal with that? Yeah. Yeah. So I think, I think first of all, with all of these patterns, the first step is simply taking the ownership. You have to be able to recognize when they're showing up for yourself and just taking a really honest picture and saying, look, we all do this, even healthy, satisfying happy relationships from time to time, we'll have some of these patterns present. But the difference between what Dr. Gottman calls a master of relationship and a disaster of relationship is that the masters actually notice when these are present and they try to bring in the antidote, which is what we're going to talk about.


headline news update everyone Basel Chapman on this Monday the 18th of October very exciting actually because you remember we talked about this on Friday that the this chap we've inside track repellent zone that was the resistance bam rocketed above it and today we've held the lower Friday so far acting quite nicely does only down 106 after that spectacular two-day rally of almost what 900 points what we are looking at here is it's really important that within a chart. Let me do that already. Sorry about that. I thought everything ready. I've got it ready right now. There it is. So what we're looking at here is this little narrow channel. I'll be discussing that tomorrow in my webinar at four o'clock for Tiger for my subscribers to my opening call. You can become a subscriber check out the front page of TF and this is a really important phase. We've broken out from the Dow. It looks to me like the Dow is going to attempt to get to toward or close to the 35,631 all-time high maybe this week within that context that sector rotation we've been talking about for years not just months but years is unfolding and you'll see why look the S&P the SPX.x here it is at 10 oh one just after 10 o'clock in the morning Tiger for National News Network update and you've got your one to one to one expansion in the S&P but it's still quite a bit under the 45,45 all-time highs at 44,69. Really what we're looking at here is how does the monthly chart act this week. So this is second to the Dow the QQQ acting very poorly up until now index 100 yes it's broken out of that inside track repellent zone but at 382.78 on the 7th of September and now only at 388 it's got a long way to go that's the rotation they are lagging together with semiconductor index because the IWM the IWM which is the Russell 2000 small caps got hammered on on Friday it ran up really well and then by the end of the day close almost at the low it's now underneath that inside track repellent zone and that makes it a repellent set of a propellant look at gold gold is trying to worm its way back up it's just in this trading range it's it's nothing nothing bad to see yet and look at the dollar the DXY is holding very nicely Crudeau I'll be talking about Crudeau I had a couple of questions over the weekend and on Friday in fact Crudeau we'll talk about it as soon as I return from the Tiger Technicians Tower and I will be doing Tama Blank so at three o'clock today don't forget to make programming today after my
